Welcome Home

Anna waited at the airport. The Domme, Marina, that she had talked with for the past five months pretty much nonstop, was finally coming to see her. It was easier for Marina to travel. And she had insisted on travelling so here they were. Anna had felt a bit guilty first contacting Marina, knowing full well, she couldn't travel for some years at least. She had also said that out loud on her first message, she wanted to be honest. It didn't seem to bother Marina and Anna was happy about it. But only in her dreams was she thinking to actually get to meet the Domme she had come to know a little bit. Anna had put much effort on the visit. She had stocked her pantry. Studied and asked what Marina likes to eat and drink and prepared everything.

Anna looked up. It was 10:34. Marina's flight had landed about 20 minutes ago, so at any minute, Marina would walk through the gates. Anna was so anxious, she could feel butterflies in her stomach. Her phone peeped. Anna took the phone from her pocket, eyeing the doorway all the time as she didn't want to miss Marina coming through the gates. She wanted to smile, walk towards her, hug her, take her bags, feel the energy and more than anything else, make her feel welcomed to her home. Anna half heartedly opened the message and then stopped breathing, just for a moment, her heart dropped -- it was from her. Was she not coming? What had happened? Had Anna missed a message that Marina had sent earlier -- no, she went and checked, no messages from before. She returned to the message, thoughts and emotions running all over her head. They had made a plan to see each other for a few days, see how things would eventually turn out. Even though Anna occasionally addressed her more formally when doing a scene online, they had set it clear that only while or after meeting, would they know if they have a basis to carry on. Marina had made it clear though, that she would be in charge, that was their basis anyway, so they didn't want to change that. It just either worked or not.

"Go to a place I find easy to walk to, without us making a scene. Tell me then where you are and how do I recognize you. You will not watch me in the eyes, not in the face at all. You will answer me Ma'am at all times. Otherwise no speaking, unless I ask you a question. And definitely no touching. Don't try to do anything extra -- I will tell you what I want. These rules stay unless I tell you otherwise. Respond, so that I know you have read these."

Anna's hands started to shake just a little bit. She felt her face redden slightly and then a rush of heat in her mons. Oh! Anna looked around as she didn't want to answer Marina, until she found a suitable place for her to wait. She saw a closed bookstore, 30 meters away from the entry. There was a big green plant next to it and thought it to be the best place. There weren't anyone around and it most probably remained so. She walked there and wrote back.

"Yes Ma'am. I have read your instructions. Once you come out, I am on your right side, there is a closed bookstore and a big green plant. I am waiting for you next to it. I have dark blue jeans and a green shirt on." She sent the message. Then she breathed slowly and deeply in and out, like trying to shake the nervous energy that suddenly filled her from head to toes. She couldn't watch in the entryway, she would then see Marinas face. She decided to just turn slightly and lean on the big pot that held the plant, so that their meeting wouldn't look awkward if someone happened to watch them.

She waited. She could see from the corner of her eye that people occasionally went past her from five meters away, but no sign of Marina. It was so hard, Marina hadn't given her any indication when she would be here, but then it didn't feel right to start looking around either -- what if she would accidentally see Marina? No, it wouldn't be a good start for the visit, to get reprimanded for not following the rules, before even meeting each other properly.

Suddenly a pair of brown leather boots appeared in her vision and then even darker brown trousers. Instead of going past her, they came towards her. She pushed herself upright. Fixed her gaze five meters in front of her and remained quiet.

"Well done. I watched you for about ten minutes. Wanted to see what you would do if no one came around for a while. I'm happy to see you waited patiently."

Anna blushed. She found it so hard not to look Marina in the eyes nor to respond to her. She wanted to talk! There were no questions, so she remained silent. It was so hard to breathe and her mouth suddenly felt very very dry. Five months worth of talking brought them to this moment. She heard Marina give a small laugh as she tried to collect herself. Never before has she felt this way.

Marina waited for a while. "Ok, walk me out." She didn't hand Anna her bags, so Anna just left slowly, turning around and walking out. She felt so exposed, so nervous and unsure. How fast should she walk? Marina seemed to follow her just a step or two behind. Once they were nearing the doors Marina said. "Go get your car. I will wait for you here. You will put the bags in the car, ok?"

Anna couldn't help it. But she looked fast around before saying quietly "Yes Ma'am".

"Stop."

Anna stopped. Heart bounding. Marina walked in front of her, right by the airport doors. "I asked you something. Do you have a hard time answering?"

"No Ma'am." She was looking at Marina's collarbone line.

"So what was the answer then."

"Yes Ma'am." Anna answers as clearly as she can and feels the redness to rise.

"Tell me your instructions that I gave for you to follow, until told otherwise."

"To answer you only when asked, otherwise no speaking. To address you as Ma'am and to not look you in the face or eye Ma'am."

"Thats right. Remember those. Do as I tell you to. If I need something more or need to know something more, I will tell you that. Now go."

Anna nodded slightly and left to get her car. Wow. This was intense. She wanted to look back, but couldn't. It wouldn't of been right. Somehow this had turned to a dynamic instantly and it wasn't what she expected. Marina had totally taken it all under her control and not given her any room. It wasn't bad. She actually enjoyed it a lot, but it came with a big surprise. She jumped to her car and drove by the doors. It took all her willpower to not move her eye sight just a little to see Marina from her car while driving. She took pride in not doing that, in following the orders that she were given.

She jumped from the car and walked around. Marina approached her with the bags. Anna went by the front door and opened it for Marina who had left her two bags on the ground. She closed the door for Marina -- that felt right, picked her bags and put them in the backseat, walked around to the car, sat down and started to drive home. Making it a point to just watch the road.

The car ride was quiet. Marina didn't say anything, Anna felt that Marina sometimes watched her. She felt so unsure. So bare. She tried to put music on from the radio, to give her something else to focus on. "Did I ask that to be done?"

"No Ma'am. Sorry"

They drove to her place quietly. Once in the parking lot, she opened the door for Marina and took her bags from the car. She started to walk towards her apartment. Her heart was racing. Marina followed her. Once at her door, when she put the key in and turned the door open. Marina pushed her aside and walked in. Anna walked in right after and pulled the door close. Marina was standing in her hallway, her back towards Anna.

"Put my bags on the floor. Turn around towards the door and don't move."

Anna did just that. She listened as Marina walked around. Heard her sitting down on her sofa and sigh deeply. Shoes came off too. A moment passed and Marina walked to the kitchen. Fridge door opened. Anna knew Marina liked Dr. Pepper so she had stacked her fridge with those. She heard the can open and Marina walked back to the sofa. Anna just stood there, wondering what was going to happen. She was still in a bit of a shock after the airport and the car ride home. She had to try to calm her nerves. Why wouldn't she be spending time with Marina, her possible future Domme? Did Marina find her just not attractive and now were trying to figure out what to do and how to get away..?

Nothing happened. TV went on and for some time it seemed like Marina was looking for something until Anna heard some music starting to play. After a while TV went quiet again.

"Strip." Anna heard from the living room and then Marina walking. "Dont move from there, just strip."

Anna could hear Marina walking towards her. She started to take clothes off, piece by piece. She knew how much Marina hated stuff to be just thrown, so one by one she took clothes off and folded them neatly by the floor. Lastly her socks and then underwear came off and Anna started to stand again facing the door.

"Ok. Turn around and walk right under the lamp over here. I want to have a look. Hands up, behind your head. The rest you know."

Anna took a deep breath. Turned. She felt suddenly a little shy being naked right in front of Marina. They had done this online, but now it was different. Marina was right here. She took a few steps forward, looking more downcast to Marinas legs., Parted her leghs slightly and put her hands behind her head and waited.

Marina started to walk slowly around. She stopped sometimes. Meticulously looking at her. Anna suddenly felt a rush of emotion she didn't quite recognize, but it made her eyes start to get teary. Anna braced herself to stop the emotion and succeeded in it, but only barely.

"Bend down and spread your ass for me."

Anna bent down and spread her ass cheeks for her. It took a long time. At least it felt like it, for Marina to just watch. She thought she felt a small stroke of wind on her ass. It sent shivers down her spine. Being examined like this. Just a thing to be seen. It turned her on a little. Anna wondered if that was visible.

"Stand. Lift your breasts up."

Anna followed the order. It took all her willpower to not watch Marinas face while she stood in front of her.

"Ok.. turn around again. Back towards me, hands down."

As Anna turned she heard Marina walk back to the livingroom and sit on a sofa, shuffling through the tv.

Time passed. It went very slow. Anna thought about how it felt so wrong. She had prepared everything, to welcome Marina to her home, for them to get to know each other and now something had happened and she was just standing there.., "I am hungry, could you make me some food please? Anything goes." Anna got startled from her thoughts. Ah a welcomed change to just standing there, naked.

"Yes Ma'am. Do you have any allergies?" Anna got moving right as she made the question, she could do with the change. While walking to the kitchen she heard a chilling "Stop". Marina was walking towards her and slapped her in her breasts hard. "Auuh!" And then on her cheek, just to make a point. Anna felt tears starting to form. Next Marina took a hold of her nipples and twisted, pulling Anna down on her knees.

"Tell me the rules again, obviously you don't remember"

"To address you as Ma'am. To not look you in the face and to not speak unless you ask something directly."

"So you really were thinking that I wouldn't let you know of my allergies, if I had any, while I asked you to make me some food? Hmm? Go now."

Anna took a breather. Got up and went to kitchen and started to prep food. She had thought beforehand what could be done and from pasta, to nachos to salad, she chose chicken salad. It didn't take long for her to present the plate for Marina, who was sitting in the living room. She put the salad plate on the table along with some dressing and waited nervously. Wondering if Marina liked what she had made. Anna waited quietly.

Nothing happened. Marina did not touch the plate and Anna was becoming more nervous. What was the matter?

"One... Two... Three..."

Anna could not understand.

"Im wondering what you are still standing there.. Have I asked you to stay?.. Four... Five... "

Anna's heart jumped on her chest. SHIT! She turned fast and went back to her spot under the light and heard Marina to count til seven. She was afraid what this was going to mean for her. She looked the door in front of her and heard Marina start the salad, sip some Dr. Pepper and watch tv. Anna just stood there, it was becoming tiring - how long had she waited there already? Anna changed her position a bit, just slight changes to make it easier. Anna had no idea how long it had taken, she knew it was dark outside, as she could see it through the milky class on her front door.

Suddenly the TV went off. Anna heard Marina moving around the flat, she could just guess what was going on, one thing she was sure, was that Marina moved her bags to livingroom, then Marina went back to bedroom. It was quiet for a while. "Come here"

Anna turned carefully and kept her eyesight downcast. She walked to the bedroom and stopped one meter from Marina, who was sitting on her bed. It was so hard to avoid her face now, so she looked at her strong legs.

"How many punishments have you earned today, total?"

Anna started to count, the time she asked of the allergies, that is one and then, could it be.. seven from later? Total of eight!

"Umm, eight Ma'am?"

"Yes eight. One you already got to your breasts and nipples so that leaves you with seven."

Anna's stomach turned, this was not what she had envisioned for her first day to be with Marina. Put aside in the hallway, stood alone, waited and collected punishments!

Marina took a black resistance band and some hand weights from behind of her and put them on her lap. "So thing is, you are going to put this resistance band around your knees. Take a wide enough posture and squat down. After that, I will hand you these dumbbells. Wou will stretch your arms wide and straight and keep the position as long as I tell you to. Are we clear?"

"Yes Ma'am." Anna did as asked and once she was in the position Marina offered her the dumbbells and Anna stretched her arms wide. Anna knew this was going to be so hard - and over so fast. Anna had never tried the strongest resistance band and while she was squatting down, she felt it push against her strong. It didn't take long for her to feel the strain on her muscles and she started to worry that there is no way for her to last in that position. Anna started to cout, at 30 her hands started to pain, at 50 those shake and after 75 she just quit. Her hands gave up and legs felt tired, she just couldn't do more.

"You cannot be serious. Again!" Marina said sternly.

Anna got back into position, squatted down, lifted her arms with weights and did again. It was harder, as suspected. And she did not last longer than the first time.

"No no no.. you should do better than that!"

Anna did it again. Sweat started to form on her forhead. She was determined to do it, to push through and do better but her muscles started to tire already and Marina saw that. Not a long after and her hands gave up. Anna was trying to control her breathing that was becoming labored.

"Tell me, did you catch a glimpse of my face earlier today? While going to get your car and driving back to me?"

"No. Ma'am. I sure wanted to, but it would have felt so wrong that I didn't."

"Thats good. Though with this kind of performance, I am not sure I will allow you to look at me at all". There was a long pause. Anna kept her eyes closed and tried to rest as much as she could. She had an idea, that her ability to do this task was not enough for Marina.

"Again."

Anna squatted once down again. Lifted her arms up and was determined to push through. She shook, kept her eyes closed and pushed. Marina did not say a word, but she heard Marina get up from the bed and walk behind her. Marina stopped and waited. Anna's hands started to give up. Her legs burned and shook just a little until she could not do anymore and she gave up.

"Again."

Anna tried to shake her legs and hands a bit. Her forehead was sweaty, legs felt powerless, hands were hurting. She squatted down once more, it hurt. She had to put extra effort on lifting the weights up. Her face crumpled from the effort, but her hands just kept shaking and legs burning. Anna didn't even count. This was a fast ordeal, she just couldn't and finally with a grunt, she gave up.

"You really can't do better than that? All these weights lying around and this is what you are able to do? You don't have any stamina! Again!"

Anna started to feel desperate. She hadn't eaten anything since breakfast, she was worried Marina did not like her, she tried to do the best she could and Marina was just berating her and now this. She could not satisfy Marina! Something was wrong.

Anna tried to do, she pushed herself but her muscles were paining. Her back was becoming sweaty, legs where burning from all over and she couldn't make herself move. Marina took hold of her hips and pressed her down to squat position. Then she moved her hands to lift Annas arms until those were up and whispered to Annas ear "There, keep it there."

Anna wanted to say that she couldn't, she cannot, but she was afraid to. She just tried, hands shaking. Marina helped her by keeping the dumbbells up but that lasted just a little until she could not anymore. Something broke in her, she started to cry quietly, tears on her cheeks, while breaking the position.

"How many punishments was that, what do you think?"

"One Ma'am?" Anna sniffed.

"If you would have counted the squats, you would know now, that you just did number six, so you have one more punisment to do."

"Yes Ma'am"

"Again baby." Marinas voice was now gentle. Anna felt Marinas hands on her shoulders, pressing her down. Her legs shook from the strain. Then she could feel Marina help her lift the weights, she didn't say anything. Anna was still silently crying, her hands didn't have any power in them and legs were mush. Basically, Marina was keeping the dumbbells up for her and slowly eased the weight. "Good girl, shhhh, keep them there, I help you." Anna cried now. "I.. I.. can.. not anymore, Im sorry!" If Marina would of not held the weigths, those would of dropped. Annas legs shook in a way that she was basically standing now. Marina carefully took the dumbbells away and put them on the floor, she also rolled the resistance band down. Anna was crying, she was exhausted. Exhausted physically, exhausted emotionally, exhausted mentally. Marina took her from the hips and turned Anna towards herself. Anna had her eyes closed and she just hugged Marina tightly, it felt good, to finally touch her, be with her. They stayed there for a moment.

"Look at me." Marina said.

Anna hesitated, she pushed herself a little away from Marina, opened her reddened teary eyes and slowly started to lift her eyes towards Marinas. Finally, when Anna reached Marinas eyes, those were warm and smiling.

"There you are. Welcome home baby, welcome home." Marina kissed Annas forehead and took her to a tight and long hug. "For the past two weeks, you have stressed more and more, I wanted for us to have a good time and relax - now I actually think we can."
