Curious Business (18+)

Details Later

Sheri set down a wooden platter with colorful fruits and cheeses. There were oysters set throughout the display. It was a platter of aphrodisiacs. I smiled at Sheri and she told us to enjoy.

"Thought you would need the help of aphrodisiacs to get me to talk tonight?" I joked, trying to break through the drop jaw coming from Elias Holt.

He was still sitting there in awe. It was hard to tell if his mouth was in a smirk or stern frown.

"Hello?" I waved at him desperately trying to get him to talk. Oh great. I thought that's what he was getting at. Now, I have ruined any chance at that happening. "Did I ruin this? I'm sorry, I really thought that was the direction that was going in."

"No, no, nothing has been ruined. We simply have more to talk about now. I just hadn't thought that that was an option in this situation. I thought you had the perfect attitude for it or maybe had read your curiosities just right. I didn't ever think about you having been a submissive. That makes even more sense. I feel pretty fucking daft right now, but that makes perfect sense." He said in a puzzled tone. He continued. "Do you know what I do?"

"I'm assuming you're a dom."

"Yes. That's right. How long have you been subbing, Clara?"

"I was 18 when I first found out I wanted to be involved somehow."

"I see. Your personality type is so in control and involved with others and you still kind of resist power, so it was hard to tell and I had to be sure. That's why I came to the hotel unexpectedly, I needed to catch you off guard."

"How long have you been a dom?" I asked, timid as can be now.

"Since I was 20, so nine years now. Why do you like this?"

"I don't know. It kind of happened on accident. I was curious believe it or not and started to show off on webcam sites and go into chat rooms and met people. I started going to groups and meeting other people at the groups and I just fell into it more and more. I thought I would be more of a dominant person and never got into it. I naturally submit I guess."

"How many doms have you had then?"

"2. The first one didn't know what he was doing. It was obvious it was just some obsession with rough porn that he thought he could turn into a real life thing. The second was much better, just a little unconventional I suppose."

"Its all a little unconventional isn't it? How was it with the second one?"

"I suppose it all is. This was different, because we never actually met, all of our interactions were digital somehow. Whether that be through webcam, texting, phone calls. It was wonderful though. He taught me everything I know."

"Do you think you know a lot?"

"I, uh I don't know how to answer that. Is it possible to know how much you don't know about something that is always growing and changing?"

Elias smiled. His face was still resting on his hand. He popped a grape in his mouth. Holding the grape between his teeth and slowly bit down into it. He smiled harder.

"So, we have figured out why we are both curious. You know what I do. I know what you think you do. I want to teach you. I want to teach you everything. I want to be that power you need. I know you need it."

"Yes. Please."

I felt a wave of relief go over me. My stomach dropped to the floor. I felt pure joy and nervousness all at once. I knew what I wanted and now I am going to have it or at least I think so.

"You look nervous." He chuckled as he slurped an oyster out of the shell.

"I am, but it's a good nervous. It's an excited nervous." I picked at the fruit slices and cheese. It was better than these things are supposed to be. It's billionaire cheese.

"Eat some more. I want to take you to my place."

"I feel like we have more to discuss. I mean like, how, and when, and where, and..."

"Hush Clara. We will talk details later, I promise. For now, I just want to show you some things, just so you're sure. Come on, let's go."
