She wasn't certain what the day would hold, but she wanted to be prepared for whatever it would be, so she carefully shaved and scrubbed and made sure every inch of her was clean. Her fingers were tingling, and as she reached for her toothpaste, she noticed that she was trembling slightly. She was so nervous, so excited, and so unsure of what to expect. As Shannon walked downstairs she steeled herself for any questions her parents may have. She knew she was a terrible liar, and she was afraid that they would be able to tell just by looking at her that she was up to no good. They really didn't pay much attention at all. Her mother had grown to be so unreachable over the years. Shannon wasn't sure why, but she had disconnected somewhere along the way and seemed caught up in her own struggles and pain. Her father was cold and harsh and Shannon always felt that she never measured up. She wasn't aware, but Mr. Holden had already spoken to her father and said that he would like to keep Shannon on as an assistant, and would be needing her after school and on weekends as well once school started. Shannon's father had agreed immediately, his only stipulation being that Shannon's pay be given to him to deposit for her, as he only allowed her a certain amount of money for spending and wanted to ensure that his rules were followed. Her parents didn't bat an eye when she left the house, and she hurried across the lawn to Erik's front door. Her mind was racing. Would he kiss her again? She raised a hand to her lips as she remembered his kiss from yesterday. Her heart leapt and she felt suddenly overcome with joy. A soft giggle escaped her lips. Shannon reached the front door and knocked softly, suddenly feeling very timid. Her emotions were everywhere today! She heard Erik's footsteps approaching the door and took a step back. The door opened and there he was. Smiling down at her. Her Master. She stared up at him, her eyes wide and pure. So eager to please Him. So excited to learn what it meant to belong to Him. "Good morning, pet." Shannon felt her pussy twinge at the words. She blushed and looked down at her feet. "Good morning, Sir," she said shyly, suddenly feeling a little embarrassed. "Let's go to the kitchen. You can eat your breakfast there, and we can talk about a few things." "Aren't you going to eat, Sir?" Shannon asked. "I already ate. I'd much rather sit and watch my new pet eat her food." Shannon looked up at Erik, not sure if he was teasing her, but he just grinned down at her. Her place was all set and ready for her. Erik sat across from her and true to his word, watched her eat. When she was finished she cleared her place and put the dishes in the dishwasher as she always did. She turned and then stood staring expectantly at her Master. He grinned and motioned for her to follow him to the office. They walked through the open concept kitchen and dining room through the french door into the hallway. The first doorway on the right was the office. Erik took a seat behind the desk and motioned for Shannon to sit down as well. "There are some things I want to make sure we discuss before we really begin. I want you to know, as my pet, what my intentions are. What my rules are. What I expect of you, and what you should expect of me. One of the keys of this type of relationship is communication, and that is something that is important for us to maintain. I want you to be honest with me about what you are feeling. I want to know you intimately, Shannon. To properly use something, you need to know how it works. I want and need to know how you think, how you feel, so that I can use you and train you properly. So while I do demand respect, and I do demand control, I also want you to know that your ultimate happiness, safety and fulfillment are paramount to me in this as well. I want every inch of you, my pet, and that includes what is between your lovely little ears as well." Shannon's breath caught. He wanted her? She obviously knew that he must, or why would he want this, but to hear him actually say it aloud. It was an incredible feeling. Erik gave her a few moments to digest what he had said and then began speaking again. "There will be rules. You are to tell me where you are and what you are doing at all times. You are not to make significant decisions without consulting me first. You are not to enter into any other relationships without my express permission and knowledge. There is much that we have to decide about limits and boundaries, but I prefer to take things as they come rather than overwhelm you with making decisions about things you have never experienced. Especially given the fact that you are a virgin, which I must tell you, I find extremely exciting. Are you understanding everything I have said thus far?" Erik looked at Shannon, his eyes firm but kind. Shannon bit her lip as she carefully thought back over everything he had said. She was almost too distracted by the thought of his kiss yesterday and what more was to come today to really process it all. Nothing had jumped out at her as being unreasonable, so she nodded as a slow smile spread across her face. "Yes, Sir." Erik got up and walked around the desk. He had a small package in his hand. It looked like it was from a jewelry store. He came to stand directly in front of her chair and grasped her small hand in his, pulling her up. They were standing so close, Shannon could feel the warmth of him radiating off of his skin. He opened the box and Shannon saw something silver sparkling in the light. "I wanted to give you something that would signify what you have entered into with me, my pet. You are Mine. You belong to Me. I am your Protector, your Master. I will teach you to trust me and to give yourself fully to me, and one day you may choose to be collared to me. In the meantime, this will be our symbol." He lifted a beautiful silver necklace out of the box, with a delicate and intricately fashioned key hanging from it. Shannon gasped at it's beauty and elegance, and reached out to trace the design with her fingertip. Erik moved around behind her, his arms reaching in front of her with the two ends in his hands. His strong, deep voice spoke softly in ear. "May I put this around your neck, Shannon?" "Yes, Sir," Shannon could barely get the words out. Erik fastened the necklace behind her neck. It felt cold against her skin. As Erik dropped his hands he trailed his fingertips softly down her arms. He turned her around, Shannon's heart beating wildly in her chest. The necklace looked beautiful against her fair skin, and the key rested gently between her breasts under her shirt. Shannon looked up at her Master and smiled. "Thank you, Sir," she said. Erik bent down towards her, taking her in his arms. Her face turned up towards him and she closed her eyes as his lips claimed hers, gently at first. Then more insistent, and finally hungrily, passionately. He broke their kiss and held her head close to his chest for a moment, before taking her hand in his and leading her wordlessly to the stairs. They climbed them together, Shannon's mind going a million miles a minute. She couldn't believe that kiss. She had been kissed before, but never like that. Never had she felt so close to cumming just from a kiss. She didn't know that could happen just from a kiss! She just knew she was about to have sex, and if he could make her feel like that just from a kiss, she couldn't imagine what more would be like. When they got to Erik's room, he turned to her. "I am going to make love to you now. Often, we will fuck. Right now, since this is our first time together and your first time at all, I will be slow and gentle." Shannon nodded silently and gulped. "I'm going to undress you, my pet," he said. Erik acted like he was unwrapping a valuable gift. Slowly peeling off the layers, uncovering inch by inch. Soon she was down to her bra and panties. They were pale blue lace. Erik kissed her collarbone, relishing the softness of her skin. He made his way down her chest and lifted the key out of the way to place a kiss between her breasts, his hands sliding down to her waist. He knelt on the floor in front of her and kissed his way along the edge of her bra, his hands now running up and down the outsides of her legs. Shannon closed her eyes and focused on the sensations she was feeling. His touch. His lips on her skin. No one had ever touched her this intimately before, and the intensity with which she hungered for more shocked her. She forgot to be embarrassed to be almost naked in front of him. She was only thinking of her desire for him. Her lust. She didn't want him to ever stop. His lips were at her belly button now. His tongue traced around the outside of it before dipping into it quickly. Shannon gasped and jumped a little, and giggled softly, her cheeks flushing. She could sense Erik's smile even though she could not see it. His hands were on the insides of her thighs now, softly running up and down but stopping just before they reached her panties. She shifted a little, her pussy swelling with excitement and aching to be touched. His thumb brushed against her lips through her panties and she breathed in sharply and gasped again. His thumb was rubbing up and down the length of her sex, softly, but with enough pressure to begin driving her wild. Her nipples were hard and aching against her bra. She was closing her eyes tightly and biting her lip as she concentrated fully on her Master teasing her pussy with his thumb. It felt so good. So much better than when she touched herself. Every touch was like electricity. Suddenly she felt his lips there, kissing her through her panties. She heard him inhale, breathing in her scent, pressing his face into her. Her hands tentatively touched his hair, thick and dark. He stood suddenly, lifting her up and carrying her to the bed. He sat her on the edge of the bed, kissing her firmly, possessively before sliding his hand down her shoulders and around to the clasp at the back of her bra. He undid it and slowly pulled it away, revealing her small perky breasts, nipples hard and tight. They stiffened even more as he cupped them in his hands and bent to catch one nipple gently between his teeth. Shannon moaned softly, amazed by how her body was responding to this man. She had imagined what being with a man would be like, but this was so much more than she had ever been able to think of on her own. Erik was twirling his tongue around her nipple now, stopping every so often to gently bite and tug on it with his teeth. Shannon found her fingers tangling in his hair, almost against her will. Eriks hands were roaming over her body. Down her back, over her thighs, up to the back of her neck, squeezing her breasts firmly. He was growing more and more passionate, his movements more and more intense. His kisses and bites more urgent. He laid Shannon back on the bed and placed a soft kiss on each hip as he started pulling her panties down. She raised her ass off the bed to assist him and tried to quench the sudden panic that she felt. No one had ever seen or touched her there before. She just knew he was going to kiss her there...lick her there. What if she smelled bad? What if she tasted bad? Her panties were nowhere to be seen now and she was suddenly overwhelmed by fear. His head was getting closer and closer and she reached down to push his head away. In one swift movement, Eric had her hands held firmly in his and her legs pinned down by his arms, spread wide. Shannon couldn't move, her legs were wide open and she had never felt more vulnerable. Erik raised his head to look at her and said "I'm going to lick your sweet little pussy now, my pet." His words sent a jolt of electricity through her. Pussy was such a delightfully dirty word, and to hear it being used in reference to hers was almost too delicious for Shannon to handle. The way her Master called it sweet, and called her 'my pet' reassured her and calmed her and drove her wild with desire all at the same time. Shannon closed her eyes and moaned softly as she felt his tongue tracing up the length of her slit. Not moving past her lips, just on top at first. Her fists clenched as she grabbed the covers in her hands and squeezed, fighting the urge to clamp her legs shut. The second time he pushed his tongue in a little, and she felt it brush against her clit ever so slightly. She gasped and and bit her lip hard. Erik released her hands and spread her pussy open with his fingers. Shannon heard a deep and low groan as he opened her flower for the first time. "It's so fucking wet." He almost whispered the words. He moved in, licking up the inside of one lip before doing the same to the other. Shannon couldn't help it, a soft cry escaped her lips. This was so different from touching herself. His tongue circled her clit and she cried out again, arching her hips into his face. Erik sucked one of her swollen lips into his mouth, and pulled on it. Shannon moaned and he pulled harder. She cried out and tightened her grip on his hair. It felt so good! He stopped and licked up and down her slit a few times, circling her clit again before doing the same to her other lip. He sucked hard, and Shannon moaned and arched her back. She felt Erik release her lip and lick his way down to her entrance, licking over it a few times before sliding his tongue inside. This was something Shannon had never done. She had always heard that it would hurt if anything went in there, so during her private play times she stuck to playing with her lips and clit. She didn't even wear tampons because she was so afraid of the unknown. But his tongue felt so good, and she could hear Erik groaning and saying how good she tasted, and she realized that she wanted more. Desperately. Erik started sliding two of his fingers up and down her lips as he licked her hole, one on each side of her clit. It felt so good. Shannon was writhing and moaning under his touch. His tongue was pushing in and out of her, and it didn't hurt at all. It just felt amazing. Erik pinched her clit between his fingers a little firmer as he continued rubbing up and down and Shannon could feel an orgasm building deep within her. She started panting and moaning and arching her back. Erik moved one finger, wet with her juices, to the entrance of her pussy and pushed it in, continuing to rub her clit with his other hand. His finger felt even better than his tongue! He pushed it in and out, just to the first knuckle as he rubbed her clit faster and faster. Suddenly Shannon cried out in ecstasy as her orgasm overtook her, and Erik pushed his finger firmly through her hymen. Shannon felt a sharp pain, but it was buried under the waves of orgasm still racking her body as Erik continued touching her, now palming her pussy with his hand, pushing firmly against her mound. He was rubbing her as her body shook from her orgasm, and slowly sliding his finger in and out of her pussy. Finally, he stopped moving and was still, just cupping her pussy firmly as her body stopped trembling and began to relax. They stayed that way for some time, until Erik got up and sat beside her on the bed. Her eyes were drawn to the bulge in his pants, and she tentatively reached for it. "No no, my pet. Never without asking permission. I'm not going to allow you to touch me today. But I do want you thinking about it, because next time, you are going to get fucked."
