I put down my own mug and poured one for Anne. I put it on the counter instead of handing it to her, watching her eyes follow it hungrily. Then I took her in my arms.
“This first,” I said softly, into her hair. “Then, coffee.”
I felt her body collapse into mine.
“What…” she started. “Master…”
Just the sound of those two syllables from Anne’s mouth made my chest swell.
I have it bad, I said to myself, and tightened my embrace just a little, knowing somehow that the pressure would communicate everything I wanted it to.
“What happens now?” she finished.
“What happens now,” I told her, “is that we let go a little with our rational minds, and see where our chemistry and our dynamic take us.”
I broke the hug and held her at arms’ length for a moment, looking down into her sweet, no-longer-utterly-innocent face. She swallowed visibly.
I bent down and kissed her gently, then more firmly as I felt her yield. I raised my face, stepped away, handed her the coffee at last.
Anne smiled.
“You know what I need, don’t you?” she said. Then the full weight of her words seemed to sink into her, and her cheeks went red.
“Yes, Annie,” I told her, feeling the left side of my mouth quirk upward. “I do. And I’m going to give it to you.”

We shot on the kitchen set that day—the third day of the shoot, but the first when Anne and I knew we had something more going on. The set was a full residential kitchen: marble countertops, a six-burner stove with copper pots hanging from a rack overhead, open shelving stacked with ceramic dishes, a window above the sink that Darlene had backlit to simulate late-afternoon sun. The set was warm-toned and domestic and designed to communicate a very specific fantasy: a young wife, at home, preparing dinner for the man who owned her.
Anne stood at the stove in a green teddy. I could feel myself getting hard just at the sight of this latest item in Melissa’s Surrender line: a deep emerald silk that looked almost black until the light caught it, with thin spaghetti straps and a plunging neckline that exposed the inner curves of both breasts. It fell to the snap-fastening between her thighs, skimming her body rather than clinging to it.
The green silk on her sweet bottom… her bare feet on the kitchen tile… the blonde hair she’d pulled into a loose twist at the nape of her neck… they all raised a new challenge to my self-control. The knowledge that I could and would unsnap the teddy down there to gain the access to which I had a conjugal right threatened to make me hasty.
Take your time, I told myself. It was easy enough to tell Anne to let go with her rational mind, but I couldn’t quite do the same, or I would ruin both our fun, wouldn’t I? As serious as this thing could turn out to be, and as uncomfortable as the training Anne got from my firm hand and my hard cock would sometimes feel to her, I wanted to make sure she enjoyed it the way she should. Physical enjoyment represented part of that—my sweet new fuck toy would have orgasms aplenty. I wanted Anne’s real enjoyment, though, to unfold at that much deeper level she had only recently started to understand.

I pretended to cook. Melissa had given me simple blocking: sauté vegetables, stir something in a pot, move between the counter and the stove with the domestic ease of a girl who did this every evening. The teddy’s snap closure sat at the joining of my legs—three small fastenings that held the silk together between my thighs, a design feature whose clear purpose made me blush and nearly whimper every time I thought about it.
I reached for a wooden spoon and stirred the pot, and I felt how the motion lifted the back of the teddy. I could almost feel Master Paul’s eyes, watching the smooth, bare curve of my bottom catch the light for a single frame before the silk fell back.
“Alright… action, Paul,” I heard Melissa call from the side of the set.
There was nothing fictional about the way my heart flipped when I turned my face over my shoulder to see him enter. He’d changed into the character’s evening clothes: slacks, a button-down with the sleeves rolled to the forearms, no tie. The returning husband. The man who comes home to find his young wife in green silk, barefoot in his kitchen, the domestic fantasy made flesh.
He walked onto the set through the kitchen’s mock entryway. I turned back to my pot, blushing furiously. I kept stirring.
“Something smells good,” Master Paul said.
“I’m making that pasta you like,” I replied without turning around, and my voice carried a warmth and a slight breathlessness that the microphones would capture beautifully. “It’ll be ready in about twenty minutes.”
