It'd been one week since his punishment. Since then, he had done everything that was asked of him. Including sending pictures of his cleaned home and wearing a butt plug for hours daily to keep himself loose for his mistress. Unfortunately, she hadn't given him any hints about her visits. He grew desperate, alone, and horny.
It's not like he wasn't popular; he had quite a fulfilling life. He worked as a salesman in the day, and by night, he hung out with his friends playing darts. In his free time, he'd work on his car, fixing out the minor kinks and maybe even adding some upgrades to it.
Suddenly, his phone rang. He knew it was his mistress from the unique ringtone he had given her. But when he opened her text, his heart sank.
Mistress: I'm sorry, sweetheart, something's come up, and I'll be moving to another state next week. I know this is sudden; I've only found out myself. Although we won't be able to continue this relationship, you'll always have a special place in my heart. You can always contact me if you need anything. I know this news is difficult to hear. Take the time you need and text me back when you do. I need to know you are okay.
His eyes began to water as he read her text. By the time he'd finished reading, tears were running down his cheeks. He wasn't ready for this to end. He didn't even know how they could stop, as if it had never happened. She had become a part of his life that he did not want to live without. Every time they were together, he wished she would choose him instead. There were times he thought he had a chance, but now it's as if his life had come crashing down. He was going through all the stages of grief at warp speed, racking his brain about how he could still hold on to this relationship.
Hours had passed, and he's still trying to wrap his mind around life without her. When had he ever been able to persuade her, though? What could he say to keep her by his side? Nothing came to mind except time was running out, and he couldn't waste another minute not seeing her.
Him: I need to see you.
Mistress: This isn't a good time. I'm busy with packing and moving arrangements. How about I call you tonight?
Him: No, please, I need to see you one last time before you move.
She knew he must be heartbroken by the news. His request to see her was understandable, but she also had responsibilities and an obligation to her lover. Still, she couldn't turn away from his pleading request. She knew he needed closure just as much as she needed for a proper goodbye.
Mistress: I'll come by tonight.
Him: See you soon.
She told her lover she would stay out with her friends tonight and have a farewell party. She promised she'd come back early tomorrow to continue packing. Just like that, she headed out and drove over to his place. On the way over, she pondered how to comfort him, but nothing clear came to mind. By the time she arrived and walked to his front door, he was already waiting outside, sitting on the stairway like a lost child waiting to be discovered. Before she could speak, he turned towards her, and their eyes locked. He remained still; she could see in his eyes that he'd been crying. She strode over quickly, closing the gap between them and stroking his hair.
Her voice was gentle and soft as she spoke, “Let's go inside, alright?”
He nodded and stood up, leading them into his apartment. As the door closed behind them, silence remained. With her back against the front door, she was staring at his back. Minutes passed, and she was hesitant to speak, afraid anything she said could set him to tears. So she stayed quiet and waited for him to talk first. She could hear him sniffling, his shoulder shaking before she could reach him. He turned around and embraced her tight. His head rested on her shoulder, he pushed his face against her neck. Still, no words were exchanged. She returned his embrace and rubbed his back softly.
“Please don't move away.”
“I'm sorry, but I can't stop this.”
“What if I moved with you?”
“It's not wise; your whole life is here. You know that.”
“But what about yours?”
“My family needs me. They are my life.”
He sighed and lifted his head off her shoulders so their eyes could meet. “Then, just for tonight, can you be mine?”
Without hesitation, she whispered, “Yes, I'm all yours tonight.”
