“This? This is what you want me to wear when your cousins come to dinner tonight?” Laura questioned.

“Yep. This, stockings, and your pink pencil dress.”

“My pencil dress. Won’t the lacing on the back show?”

Rick nodded. “Yes, they will most likely a bit. I plan lacing you in quite tightly, so the dress may be a bit loose. Still, I’m sure they’ll know you’re corseted since you won’t be able to bend at all in this. They’re also big huggers, so they’ll feel the lacing beneath the dress. You won’t mind, will you?”

Laura blushed but shook her head. “No, I won’t mind as long as they don’t.”

“Trust me! I’ve seen and done a lot more at their homes. I know this is the first time you’re meeting Kent, Josie, and Micah, but we’re all into the lifestyle, they won’t mind.”

“Okay, but. . .”

“Do you need a spanking first?”

Spankings often calmed Laura’s nerves.

“Yes, please.”

Rick sat on the armless chair and patted his lap. Laura quickly got into position. Soon, her bottom was warm and rosy, and she was calm as a lamb.

True to his word, Rick laced the long Edwardian-style corset tightly. Then, she fixed her hair and make up before he tightened it once again, and she slipped on her dress.

“There,” Rick said as he looked at her. “Perfect. You really are the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen, Laura.”

Again, Laura blushed, this time from happiness. Rick never failed to compliment her.

Soon, Rick’s three cousins were seated on the back porch, drinks in hand. Rick was right, bending was impossible and sitting was a challenge. Nonetheless, her posture was absolutely perfect!

“Sophia had to learn a hard lesson the other day,” Micah began.

Of all the cousins, Micah and Sophia led a D/s lifestyle the most.

“Do tell,” Jose encouraged. Josie was a dominatrix who held monthly parties at her home. It seemed all four cousins had inherited the Dominant genes!

“She broke one of her rules twice then didn’t tell me. She waited until Maintenance day before she confessed. A week of enemas and only anal sex put her to rights pretty quick.”

Laura shifted uncomfortably before asking, “Wouldn’t Sophia be upset if she knew you were telling us such private details?” Laura liked Sophia and hated to think the cousins were gossiping about her.

Rick shot her a warning glance, but she was determined to stand up for her friend.

“No, not at all. In fact, she asked me if I was going to tell you all about it before I left. I told her I probably would if that was okay. She kissed me and told me to share whatever I felt appropriate. You see, Laura, I know you’re new to all of this, but the biggest thing with our lifestyle is trust. Sophia and I trust each other completely. Without that, we couldn’t live like we do,” he explained, leaning forward on his elbows.

“I see,” Laura stated contemplatively. “I really do see. Thank you, Micah for explaining that to me. You’re right. I am new to this, but so far, I’m loving it.”

She glanced at Rick, who was now smiling at her. Kent patted her knee and said, “Asking questions is how you learn, Laura. I’m speaking for all of us, I think, including our submissives, when I tell you you’re free to ask any of us whatever questions you may have.”

“Thank you,” she held her hand out to Rick. “Thank you all. Now, can I get anyone a refill on your cocktails?”

She struggled to stand up gracefully, the corset pinched, and her legs felt hobbled, but inside, she felt as if she were sheltered by the love of her Dominant and his cousins.

Later that night once the cousins had left and Rick had helped her remove her dress, he asked, “Did you have fun today?”

“I did. I didn’t think I would, but I did.”

“The corset wasn’t too uncomfortable?” he continued as he began to loosen the laces.

“Oh, it was definitely uncomfortable, but I got used to it after a while. It was almost like it was your arms squeezing me rather than canvas and steel.”

He kissed her neck and dropped the corset to the floor. He ran his hands down her body, tracing the markings left by the tight lacings, he picked her up and carried her to the bed.

Slowly, he made love to her, enjoying her orgasms almost as much as she did. Only when she appeared to be close to total exhaustion did he allow himself the ultimate pleasure as well. He held her close as she slept and thought that soon, she’d be ready for more. He looked forward to watching her writhe as he placed clamps on her sweet, pink nipples, slowly trained her ass to accept his cock, introduce to the kiss of his belt, and make sure she was comfortable enough with her own body to be relieved of the burden of clothing around their home. Yes, Laura, he was sure, would love becoming a true submissive.
