Epilogue

-Alison-

Years later…

"Mommy!" a little girl cried, tugging at the hem of my dark, flowing skirt. I glanced down, met by the sight of a beautiful child with the bluest of eyes gazing up at me.

"Hey there," I greeted warmly, crouching down to her level. She responded with a shy smile.

"Lost your mommy?" I inquired gently, noting her confusion. Just then, a woman's voice called out, and we both turned to see her rushing over to scoop up the girl.

"Oh, I'm so sorry," she said, but I waved my hand in the air, dismissing her concern with a smile.

"It's no trouble at all," I reassured her, offering a reassuring smile to the little girl, who returned the gesture.

"She's a little explorer, always wandering off," the woman chuckled.

"I was the same way as a child, always curious," I admitted before turning to the mother. "She's very sweet. What's her name?"

"Alison," the woman replied.

"Really?" I murmured, struck by the coincidence.

She nodded, then excused herself to resume her grocery shopping. As they walked away, I waved at the little girl, and she waved back. Turning to my own errands, I gathered the ingredients for a special dinner I planned to make for Jared. Despite his busy schedule with work, he had handled his responsibilities admirably, and my love for him only grew stronger each day.

Finishing my shopping swiftly, I returned home to the house we had transformed into a cozy haven for the two of us. However, upon calling out Jared's name, I was met with an unexpected sight. He stood before me in the same suit he wore when he entered my office, a collar dangling from his fingers.

"Now?" I queried, still finding him as alluring as ever, despite the hint of gray at his temples.

"Yes, but this time we're switching things up," he declared with a mischievous grin.

"What do you mean?" I asked, intrigued.

"Office, 10 minutes. Don't wear panties. You won't need them," he replied.

I rolled my eyes, but excitement bubbled within me. As Jared vanished from sight, I put everything away and discreetly slipped off my underwear, tucking them into the pocket of my jacket before making my way to the office. There he sat, lounging in his chair with a smirk playing on his lips. Approaching him, I anticipated a playful role-playing scenario, but as I drew near, my eyes landed on something resting on the desk—a contract, a one-day contract.

Slipping into the seat opposite him, I eagerly perused the document, feeling a surge of heat as I absorbed its tantalizing promise. Lowering the contract, I teased, "My slave for a day?"

"We didn't get to celebrate your birthday last week," he reminded me with a playful glint in his eye.

"If I recall, you woke me up in a very special way," I chuckled.

His smile widened as he recalled the memory before directing his attention to the contract. "It already has my name. So what do you say, Mistress?" he taunted.

Without hesitation, I signed the contract, embellishing my name with a little heart above the ‘i' before sliding it back to Jared. His chuckle filled the room as he saw the detail before he held up the dark collar, which I realized was far too big for me.

"Really?" I asked, excitement coursing through me.

"I'm all yours," he confirmed with a wink.

I leapt from my chair, eagerly securing the collar around his neck. As I leaned back, admiring my handiwork, his hand drifted toward me, brushing against the split in my long skirt. With a playful tug, I reprimanded him, "Did I say you could touch me?"

Chuckling, he withdrew his hand, and I sauntered away from his desk. Recalling an old memory, I commanded, "You will inform your workers you're taking a little vacation, and your wife too. Tomorrow, I come to claim you."

Glancing over my shoulder, I could see the desire flickering in his eyes, awaiting my signal to join me. Opening the door, I curled two fingers in the air, signaling my desire for him.

"The blue room?" he suggested.

"Indeed. That is, if you can catch me before I reach it," I teased, feeling a surge of adrenaline as our playful chase began. With the familiarity of our home aiding my escape, our hunt became even more exhilarating than before.

As for who emerged victorious? Well, some secrets are best kept. All I'll reveal is that someone found it quite challenging to sit comfortably the next day.

The End.
