known that for years.”
N ancy gave her hands a squeeze and continued, “I know, I just… well, it’s been so long since we’ve played together.” She saw Izzy shake her head and took a deep breath. “Izzy, you can’t hide forever.” Izzy tried to pull her hands away, but Nancy held on tightly. “We’ve got to talk about it sometime.” Izzy said nothing, but Nancy could feel her trembling and gave in. “Fine, I’ll let you slide this time, but I’m telling you I won’t let you keep this up. Anyway, tomorrow I will vow to not only become Jack’s wife during the wedding, but I’ll soon be vowing to take him as my Master at the club. He asked Coleman, his best man and best friend, to help prepare me. Honey, he wasn’t fondling me, and we were definitely not ‘fucking’.”
Izzy looked ashamed and again tried to pull her hands away, but Nancy held them fast. “Not a chance! You need to know this, despite your tendency to shy away from anything having to do with sex.” Izzy pulled harder but then relaxed. Nancy smiled and said, “Jack sent over the ‘something new’ for me to wear tomorrow. Coleman was just putting it on, at Jack’s request, mind you, so you can stop worrying that Jack is ignorant of what’s going on. I’m really offended you’d even think for a second that I would do something so horrible.”
Izzy felt guilt flow over her. She had known Nancy ever since they were little girls. It had been Nancy that helped her get out of a very bad relationship and Nancy who had never once judged her. She looked over at her friend and said, “I’m so sorry, Nancy. I don’t know what came over me. I know you wouldn’t do anything to Jack. I guess I was just shocked. I mean, geez, your pants were on the floor!”
Nancy smiled as she thought about how the scene must have looked to her friend. She squeezed her hands again and then released them. “I know it must have looked like I was doing something naughty, but I promise, I wasn’t.”
Izzy watched as Nancy pushed back her chair and stood. She didn’t speak as she watched Nancy unbutton her blouse and pull it open. “This is my present Izzy; these chains symbolize my submission to Jack and his protection and love for me.”
Izzy looked at the thin gold chain that encircled Nancy’s waist. It glowed in the light and was beautifully delicate against the tanned skin. She saw the two smaller chains, one leading upward from the chain around her waist and a second chain leading down, their far ends hidden by her bra and pants. She blushed but couldn’t help herself, “It’s beautiful, Nancy, but um, what are those other ones? Do they go where I think they do?”
Nancy shivered at the thought of where they went but said softly, “Are you sure you want to know, Iz? I know it embarrasses you to think about sex….”
“ It does not!” Izzy said, rather loudly. She blushed and then looked up to see her friend smiling. “I mean, God, you think I’m a prude. I’m not a virgin, for your information. I know what being submissive means, and I definitely know what sex is.”
Nancy said softly, “No, sweetie, you know what bad sex is. You have no idea of what great sex is, how incredible it can be, or how it feels to be submissive to the perfect Dom, who makes you forget everything but how great it feels to be alive. Jack is that person for me, and I pray that someday you’ll stop running and find the perfect man that helps you learn to love again.”
Izzy felt her eyes fill and overflow. Tears dripped down her cheeks, as she found herself yearning with her entire soul to feel just once the sort of feelings that Nancy was describing.
Nancy pulled Izzy out of her chair and engulfed her into her arms. “Oh Izzy, don’t cry. I’m sorry; I didn’t mean to make you cry. We’ll find your man . . . I swear to you, we’ll find him.”
Izzy cried for a few minutes and then pushed away. “I’m just being silly. This is a bit much. Come
