April's Story Ch. 29

Whenever Helen had a lover living with her, Lorraine had two places in the house that were considered neutral territory, the kitchen and his bedroom. Helen's lovers were never allowed to enter either of these rooms. If David needed something from the kitchen, he would call Lorraine and Lorraine would get it for him. In these two rooms Lorraine was treated as an equal. Everywhere else in the house he was a subservient slave without any rights at all. He wasn't allowed to sit, he couldn't eat or drink, He could only speak after he was addressed by a superior.

At this time Helen, David and I were considered to be his superiors. Lorraine loved it. He was one of the most submissive men I have ever known.

I walked over and put my arms around Lorraine's waist. I gave him a hug and pressed my cheek against his back. I loved this wonderful man.

He didn't turn. He was busy, it was dinner time. Helen would be whip him in front of David if he was late with one of the courses.

"Hi baby, can I get you something to drink?"

I gave him another squeeze and said, "No that's okay, you're busy. I can get a Diet Coke out of the refrigerator."

As I was getting my soda Lorraine said, "So tell me about this new guy."

"His name is Mark. I think you would like him. He's very smart and very funny."

"Does he go to Kelroy?"

"Yes, we're both Sophomores."

"Is Mark the attraction in the library."

"I giggled. "Yes, he's the reason I don't study at home anymore."

"How long have you been seeing him."

"About a month."

"I noticed that you're dressed rather provocatively; are you having sex with him?"

"No, I just enjoy teasing him a little."

Lorraine turned and looked at me. "What do you mean by that?"

"He's pretty submissive. I'm sort of treating him like a slave. He's seems to be enjoying it."

"He seems to be enjoying it? Haven't you discussed this with him?"

"Lorraine, I'm afraid to. It's too much like my relationship with Ponce. I kind of feel like I would be cheating on Ponce if I took another slave."

Lorraine walked over and put his arms around me. "Honey, I don't think Ponce would want you to go through the rest of your life mourning for him. I loved him to. We'll both miss him forever, but I am quite certain that he would want you to pick up your life and move on.

"I know, but it's so hard to do. Lorraine I loved Ponce so much."

I started crying.

Lorraine patted me. "I know baby." He held me while I cried. After a few moments the sadness passed and I pulled myself together.

Lorraine smiled at me. "I'm behind schedule, help me with the soup; get three bowls down from the cupboard."

I got two bowls. As I brought them over I said, "I want to eat in the kitchen with you tonight, would that be okay?"

Lorraine smiled at me. "I would love the company."

I set the bowls up on a tray, as Lorraine poured the soup into them he asked, "So when do we get to meet Mark?"

I shrugged. "I don't know, I've never thought about bringing him here."

Lorraine looked at me. "Well April Hansen it's time for you to start thinking about it. It's Thursday, invite him to dinner Saturday night. I'll grill steaks. That will make David happy, he loves steak. He'd eat it every night."

I'm not sure if Mark will understand our lifestyle."

Lorraine smiled at me. "Honey I think he deserves a chance to see what he's in for if he continues going out with you. Why don't you lay a little groundwork tonight."
