She opened the coffee shop door and recognized him right away. He was sitting at a round table with club chairs; the table she and her friend usually sat at when they came for coffee here. She suddenly became very self-aware; every wrinkle in her skirt, the unruly hair at the crown of her heard that stuck straight up when she straightened her hair, the slight limp she had. She had half a mind to run back out the door but she needed to touch him, even just once.
They'd been talking for months, via text, Skype and KiK. What started as a simple joke and a bet in a kink flavoured chat room had morphed into something else entirely. A flirt, a message, online music lessons. But he always returned to their first conversation about deep throating and music theory.
He'd flown out to Edmonton specifically to meet her -- they pretended it was over the bet made in the beginning that he could stump her with reading music. He didn't stump her, she actually read music better than he did, but she faked a few answers to see if he'd really make the more than 2000 km trip from Toronto to meet her.
He stood as she got nearer the table. He nervously ran his hand through his hair, something he'd done from the first moment they spoke on camera. She smiled.
"Your smile lights up the room, Clarissa." He said as he stepped toward her.
She extended her hand.
"Really? A handshake?" he took her hand and pulled her toward him and wrapped her in his arms. "I think we passed handshakes on our second Skype call." He kissed the top of her head. "I'm glad to meet you, Princess."
He felt so good; he smelled even better and was one of the most beautiful people she'd ever seen.
"Your smile lights up the room too, John." She wondered if she should let go. She didn't want to seem clingy but she liked being right where she was.
"Come, lets get that coffee you owe me." He released her and she felt absorbed by him. He slipped his hand into hers and led her toward the front of the shop.
He led her with grace and ease; he claimed to be shy and not confident but he didn't act that way. Remembering what she liked, he ordered for them both and he stood back when the barista announced the total. She started laughing.
"What? I said you'd owe me a coffee if you didn't get all the theory questions right. You got five wrong!" he smiled
She tapped her card on the bank machine, "did it occur to you that I might have thrown that test so I could take you for coffee?" she smiled.
He mocked shock, "What! I flew 2603 kilometers to teach you!" he smiled at her.
She punched his arm. He raised an eyebrow.
He took their coffees back to the table and he set them down, "Wait." He touched her arm, "before you sit." She looked at him and he grabbed her by the waist and pulled her tight against him, "really? Making me wait." He lowered his mouth over hers.
Her knees went weak and her heart raced. The kiss was quick by first kiss standards but it was probably just as well, he left her breathless and speechless.
"Sit." He helped her into the chair, "silly girl. Going all weak for Daddy."
"John!" she hissed under her breath, "quiet! Someone will hear you!"
"Are you embarrassed by your Daddy, Princess?" he sing-songed.
Her eyes grew wide.
"Shush." He winked at her, "no one is listening, Clarissa. I'm teasing you, sweety."
She stared at him for a moment longer than she knew he was comfortable with.
"What!" he exclaimed, as he always did when she did that, "Don't you dare tell me I'm cute or I will make sure someone hears me." He grinned.
"I love your smile, John." She smiled in spite of herself.
He looked at her, "I'm letting you get away with this now but..." she opened her mouth to say something smart. "You sure about that, Princess?"
She closed her mouth.
"I thought not. Now drink your coffee. Daddy thinks you've earned a spanking; and within the first five minutes of meeting me. Silly girl." His dark brown eyes stole her soul.
She looked at her feet.
"Clarissa." He said.
She knew this game.
"Princess." She looked up, but not quite at his eyes.
"Look at Daddy." She met his gaze. "Go to the bathroom and bring back your panties, in your hand, not in a pocket and slip them into my bag. I'm taking them home so I hope you did bring your favourite pair, like you promised."
She slipped out of her chair and went to the washroom. He was pushing her; he knew she had said she wouldn't do this for him yet here she was, walking to the bathroom to take off and give her favourite pair to panties to a stranger. But he wasn't a stranger, not really. Clarissa had shared more pictures, videos and intimate discussions about herself with John than she had during her marriage. Although they'd only just met, she felt so connected to him. He stripped away her insecurities and built her back up.
She returned to the table a few moments later, panties in hand. She discreetly knelt down beside his chair and placed them in the front compartment of his backpack. She said nothing and silently slipped back into the seat.
"I'm pleased you did that for me. I know it wasn't something you're comfortable with. Do you like it when Daddy pushes you?" he reached out and touched her chin. "I'm going to push you more today. You know your word, right?" She nodded. "Good and you know my wanting you to call me Daddy is because, I want to care for you and nurture you, not because."
"I know." She replied.
"Good. Finish up. I know you've only got a few hours today. Daddy sure wishes you could spend the night." He added.
