They&#8217;re sitting lithely at the be-seen tables here at Primi. And N. and I have miraculously found a table out on the balcony. Ringside seats.<\/p>\n<p>But she       and I aren&#8217;t model-watching. We&#8217;re fully absorbed in each other.<\/p>\n<p>I can&#8217;t tell you who she is, cos she has a boyfriend. And what we&#8217;re talking about is stuff that might just freak him out and mess up her relationship. So she&#8217;ll remain N. She&#8217;s a girl I&#8217;d like to get to know a LOT better. Let&#8217;s leave it at that. And lemme just say that I&#8217;ve wanted her from the very first time I saw her. And that she smsed me earlier to say, &#8220;Hey Roy, long time no see! How about coffee??&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I knew from the presence of two question marks that she&#8217;s keen on me. Okay. I&#8217;ll admit it&#8230; I didn&#8217;t exactly KNOW. It was more like I WISHED that she was keen on me.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;But       Roy!!!&#8221; you may be shrieking, &#8220;what about Karen!!!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Well, two things. Firstly, I&#8217;m SEEING her, and learning about her, and finding out if we like each other enough to commit to a relationship. Secondly, I&#8217;ve made it clear to her that I&#8217;m currently monogamous with her, even though I&#8217;m uncomfortable with this. And I don&#8217;t break my word. So I&#8217;m fine being here with N. And I&#8217;m fine about wanting to fuck her. Cos I know I&#8217;m not going to. Simple as that. But I WANT to. Okay? Got this outta the way? Good. Let&#8217;s move on.<\/p>\n<p>We started out our coffee meeting earlier at       Seattle Coffee Company.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Tell me everything about this new girl in your life,&#8221; she said. She follows this site, so she&#8217;s seen the stuff about D\/s. &#8220;I want DETAILS!&#8221; she says.<\/p>\n<p>So I tell her about making love the D\/s way. I tell her about tying Karen up. And various other things. And with every detail, she&#8217;s kinda gasping.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Wow!&#8221;       she says. &#8220;Sounds liberating.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Now you&#8217;re in a new       relationship?&#8221; I say. She&#8217;s alluded to the presence of a dude on the       scene.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Well, it&#8217;s only been a few weeks,&#8221; she says. &#8220;And he&#8217;s a really nice guy. Really very nice. Treats me very well. A gentleman. Very&#8230; uh&#8230; kind and considerate. Gentle.&#8221; She&#8217;s looking at me very oddly. Her head is cocked to one side, and there&#8217;s a kind of pain in her eyes. Her black hair frames her cheeks, and sitting here in the leather armchair in Seattle Coffee Co, I want to comfort her for making the wrong choice.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Is he giving you what you want?&#8221; I       ask.<\/p>\n<p>She pauses, her head still cocked. She says, &#8220;No, he&#8217;s       not.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;What do you want?&#8221; I ask.<\/p>\n<p>She leans forward, and       the pain leaves her face. She whispers, &#8220;D\/s.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t hear       her properly. &#8220;Did you say, &#8216;D\/s&#8217;?&#8221; I ask.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Yes.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>She&#8217;s looking at me hard, leaning forward. She&#8217;s reaching for me. I feel her soul stretching for mine. I take my sarong in my hands. I use it as a scarf usually. But I&#8217;ve employed it effectively in restraining Karen before. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;N.,&#8221; I say, looking hard into her eyes,       &#8220;put your hands together in front of you.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>She does.<\/p>\n<p>I put my sarong around her wrists, do a complicated little jig, and she&#8217;s tied up. I grasp the knot, and tug gently. &#8220;Is this what you want?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>She&#8217;s been gasping as I&#8217;ve been tying, and now, in the coffee shop, she tilts her head back, her chin angled, her eyes fixed to mine. &#8220;Yes!&#8221; she breathes. And I can see from the way her body&#8217;s poised and from the look on her face that she&#8217;s hit subspace. It&#8217;s uncanny. This is exactly the space that Karen lives for. It&#8217;s the space that submissives around the world crave. And now, the first time it&#8217;s ever been done to her, N. experiences the zone.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Let&#8217;s go and eat,&#8221; I say. And I undo       the knot.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Oh!&#8221; she gasps as I release her.<\/p>\n<p>Jesus. I want to fuck her right now. Right this second. I want to consume this woman. Damn this monogamy stuff!!!!!! Ugh! Why the hell do I have such a strict moral code? What&#8217;s WRONG with me??? Sigh.<\/p>\n<p>We go to Primi Piatti.<\/p>\n<p>En route, we stop off at Stone Cherry, the designer boutique. There&#8217;s an outfit on display that I feel compelled to praise the shop assistant for. I tell her, &#8220;Sissie, I just want to say that any woman wearing that outfit can have me anytime she wants!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The shop woman says, &#8220;Oh! If       only I had your number! There could have been many women who would have       had you!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>N. is wandering around touching fabrics. &#8220;Wow!&#8221; she says. &#8220;This is a skirt!&#8221; It&#8217;s a mock suede, and it&#8217;s just divine. Ayee. I want to wear this skirt! I put my sarong around N.&#8217;s neck. I use it to choke her, very gently, increasing the pressure. She tilts her head back, and goes into subspace again. It&#8217;s uncanny. The lust in her eyes is just unbelievable. I can&#8217;t believe this. <\/p>\n<p>I let her go.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Sissie,&#8221; I say to the shop assistant. &#8220;I&#8217;m a man who likes to wear skirts. But I need pockets. Is there anything you guys make that I can wear on top of a skirt to give it pockets?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>She pulls out something. &#8220;This is a sample, and they&#8217;re not making anymore of them, and it&#8217;s only got one pocket. Try it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>So I put it on over my cargo pants. It&#8217;s like a skirt, but has a long thin section that hangs down the front, mirrored at the back. The front bit has a pocket on it. &#8220;Ooooooooooo!&#8221; I say. &#8220;This would be perfect if it had more pockets. Please can&#8217;t you speak to the designer and tell her that I&#8217;d like to have this with more pockets?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;ll speak to her,&#8221; she says.<\/p>\n<p>I hand her my       Coffee-Shop Schmuck business card, and she writes on it, &#8216;Apron. Six       pockets.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>N. and I finally get to Primi. The manager recognises me       somehow. &#8220;Roy!&#8221; he says. &#8220;Where you wanna sit?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Ah!&#8221;       I say. &#8220;I recognise you! You and I had a tussle about my beret,       didn&#8217;t we?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Yeah,&#8221; he says, showing us to a prime table. He and I had a fight when I was sitting in the Primi Piatti lounge some weeks ago. They have a &#8216;no-head-gear-for-men&#8217; policy, which I think is crazy and dumb. So I refused to take my hat off when three waiters made the request. Finally, the manager arrived, and explained that it was national policy for Primi. And I said, &#8220;If Michael Jackson came here to fuck little boys, would you make HIM take off his hat?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Michael Jackson?&#8221; he said. &#8220;Of course! We&#8217;ve had Hollywood film stars here and we&#8217;ve asked THEM to take off their hats!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>So now he recognises me, and I&#8217;m getting some kind of VIP treatment for some strange reason. Could be cos I&#8217;m with the beautiful N. People take beauty very seriously indeed.<\/p>\n<p>We order a California pizza and a grilled vegetable salad to share. The pizza is delicious. I&#8217;m less enamoured with the salad, but N. digs it.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You&#8217;ve gone into subspace twice now,&#8221; I say       to her. &#8220;Looks like you kinda like this?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I do.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You&#8217;re       a natural. Are you going to ditch this boyfriend of yours? Or are you       going to see if he can get into this?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Maybe he&#8217;ll be able to       get into it,&#8221; she says.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Well,&#8221; I say, &#8220;if you&#8217;re       going to do it, I&#8217;ve got some pointers for you.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I spend the evening giving her tips that I&#8217;ve picked up in my brief exposure to this stuff. And in telling her, I realise that I know a lot about it. It&#8217;s as though I&#8217;ve been in touch with this for years, but just didn&#8217;t know it. I&#8217;ve gone from virgin to guru in just two or three D\/s fuck sessions! Wild.<\/p>\n<p>Near the end of the evening, I say to N., &#8220;Would you like me       to pull your hair?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Oh! Oh yes please!&#8221; she purrs.<\/p>\n<p>I pour her hair into my hand, wrapping it slowly around my fingers. With the other hand, I stroke her face, her neck. And I gradually apply force to her black hair. Delicately, I take her head backwards, forcing her chin to point at the ceiling. She&#8217;s in the damned subspace zone. She&#8217;s fully there. If I keep this up, she&#8217;ll be coming without any sexual contact whatsoever. This is the biggest frigging rush! Oh man.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Ditch the       boyfriend,&#8221; I say. I want to do stuff with this woman. Oh yeah.
