Free The Stranger Master (Vol. 2 - Total Control) by Sofia Paz Page A

driving her Volvo to the mall. She had washed between her legs and sprayed her thighs with her favorite Ea de Perfume, but still fancied she could smell the sweet, cloying musk of sex. Her hands were sweating on the steering wheel and a fiery itch in her crotch made it almost impossible for her to sit still in the car. Thankfully, the journey was short and 20 minutes later, she arrived at the mall and found a place to park as close to the entrance as she possibly could. In the back of her mind, Katherine had planned a quick getaway, just in case this all went badly wrong.
     
    Before leaving the car, Katherine took a long look at herself in the rear view mirror. She rarely wore make-up, but now she wished she had at least added a faint smear of red to her lips. Katherine caught her breath. She actually felt like she was on a date. She remembered the excitement, the exhilarating anticipation. Trembling slightly, Katherine got out of the car. Her phone buzzed, a text from Sir:
     
    Have you arrived, Kitten?
     
    It was the first text she had received from him that entire week and Katherine felt a wave of relief wash over her. She was, after all, not alone in this. His instructions had been clear and precise. When, where, and how. But naturally Katherine had felt intimidated and would have liked to talk to him more about the details, the possible consequences, what she should do if something went wrong? But Sir was adamant and quite, quite merciless.
     
    'It is a test of loyalty, Kitten,' he had told her. 'You can choose not to do this. But if you decide to go through with what I ask of you, you must not fail me.'
     
    Instead of texting a reply as usual, Katherine rang the number. To her surprise, he answered and Katherine became instantly lost in his hypnotic, sensual tone of command.
     
    'I'm here, Sir.' She spoke into the phone, a light tremolo in her voice.
     
    'Good. Kitten, are you ready to do this?'
     
    'Yes, Sir, for you Sir.'
     
    And then he asked if she was wet...as if he hadn't already known...
     
    'Yes Sir, I am very excited. But...'
     
    'But, Kitten?'
     
    Katherine mustered all her courage and blurted out her next words without thinking;
     
    'Sir, I am about to do something I have never done before in my life. Yes, I am excited, but I am also afraid. I will do this for you Sir, but I need you to tell me one thing.'
     
    'And that is, Kitten?'
     
    Katherine took a deep breath and said;
     
    'Your name, Sir. I need to know your name if I am going to go through with this.'
     
    For a long, long moment, there was silence on her phone. Katherine began to think that her outburst had been at best premature, at worst, extremely badly timed. After almost a minute, she heard his voice again.
     
    'My name is Dominic.' He said, and hung up.

    Inside, the mall was not particularly busy. It was a weekday and so the hordes of overweight, bustling Moms, with their grabby, contentious offspring, were noticeable only by their absence. Katherine had been here only once before, (she preferred shopping at the small local stores in town), when the mall had opened two years ago. Katherine had bought a couple of last-minute Christmas presents for Sam and then quickly left the mall, unimpressed.
     
    At first, Katherine decided she would 'case the joint.' She winced at the phrase; it was one of Sam's favourite expressions, and she quickly pushed the thought, and the image of Sam, out of her head. Wandering around the ground floor of the vast complex, making mental notes of exits and rest rooms, she also began keeping tabs on the security guards. Katherine told herself that she needed to be prepared for any eventuality, but in her heart she knew she was simply procrastinating. She took an escalator up to the second floor and spotted another security guard. That made three, she counted, two guards downstairs, one up here. She guessed there were about a hundred people in the mall, which for a place this size, meant it
