A brief credit : Miss Persephone; You have been such an educator in this world. Your expertise is truly appreciated and humbly received.
"Of course, Mistress Kyrie" Andrea said dropping to her knees slowly as bidden. This was her first act in service, her first step on a path that she wished to explore. She knew the journey would be long and perhaps formidable. She looked up past long, almost tailored legs. Her gaze was received with a smile from where her Mistress reclined in her chair.
"Andrea," came the soft and sure voice "tell me, what do you wish?"
Andrea remained silent for a moment not knowing how to answer.
"Andrea, there is no wrong answer. Your own desires are important. You need to communicate this to me. What do you wish?"
Andrea looked up again. Kyrie was smiling at her sweetly. There was none of the trappings that she had been warned about. This was so much different than what she had been led to believe it would be. The obvious answer was 'to please you, Mistress'; but she thought better. Andrea was being asked what She wished. This was not about subservience, it was about a joining. It was not about belonging to Kyrie but with Kyrie.
"To find pleasure in pleasing you, Mistress Kyrie. To explore this world though you and with you."
"Andrea, that could not have made me happier. Please, indulge yourself as we have spoken of."
A lump formed in Andrea's throat. This. This was about to happen. The pounding of her heart was only defeated by the audible rushing of blood in her ears. What she wanted was in her grasp and it excited her. It terrified her.
Leaning down Andrea kissed the top of Mistress Kyrie's perfectly manicured right foot at the ankle. Her nose took in jasmine and honeysuckle oils. She desperately suppressed her urge to pounce on Kyrie and ravage her. This was a journey and not a race. Her intoxication was palpable to herself but if she wanted to embrace this world she needed to follow the guideposts set out. A babe in the woods, a fledgling fawn; she knew she must first learn to walk in the forest before she could run freely.
Another kiss, only slightly above the fist. Staying slow, staying measured.
"Very good, Little One." came Kyrie's smooth voice.
Andrea shuddered slightly at that, not realizing how much she craved that praise until it was received. She felt a weight lifted from her. A measure of comfort. Freedom.
She recalled what Kyrie had told her. "This was about pleasure. This as not about subservience or degradation. Never denial but delay, a build to a magnificence."
Mindful of a wavering voice she chose silence and continued upwards. Kissing her Mistresses leg slowly, taking time to admire the artistry that crafted such beauty; long and silken. Muscled slightly as the ankle flowed smoothly into a defined calf. Cupping Kyrie's knee, sliding a hand around the bend she looked up at her Mistress and smiled.
He smile was met with Kyrie's own. There was a moment between them; a communicated understanding and deep care. This was not as the warnings and the fear mongering that Andrea had encountered in her early exploration. This was what she had been seeking.
"Tripe" had Kyrie called it with some degree of bitterness. "Demonizing what was out of the norm."
