Chapter One Hundred and Fourteen – It Is Probably a Good Thing

I arrive home after a stressful day. I am alone. Alyssa had plans with a friend tonight. I would have preferred she be here with me to help destress, but she does have other people in her life. Not only me. I will see her tomorrow morning. It is probably a good thing for us to spend a night apart. It has been a while since we’ve had one. Most of our recent time has been spent together. I like it that way. I like having her close all the time. She is a comfort. I shouldn’t be so reliant on her. I am not usually the type to need someone constantly. I miss her terribly when she isn’t with me. I would never admit that to her.

I toss my things on the sofa and take a seat, loosening my tie. I take my cell out and open a text to Alyssa:

Kitten. I hope you have fun tonight. Please, don’t drink too much. If you struggle to get a cab or Uber, call me. I will come and get you, no matter what.

I won’t sleep until I know she is home safe in bed. Even after I do, I still may not sleep because she…

Her reply:

Hey, baby. I will have fun. You don’t need to worry,

I don’t plan on drinking too much. Thank you, handsome

I hope she means that. I don’t like the idea of her being out and drinking without me there to protect her. There are too many dangerous men and creeps around. I know she can take care of herself, but it is my job to worry.

Her next message:

Thank you, angel. Please, if you get home without needing a lift from me, text or call me when you are home so I know you are…

My reply:

I promise I will let you know. Try not to miss me too much. I need to head off and get ready.

Her reply:

Oh, Alyssa, you have no idea how I miss you.

Olaj… beautiful. Send me a photo once you are ready xx

My reply:

I will do. Talk soon, handsome.

But as I want her to have a good night. She deserves it. She works hard. Not only in the office but as my submissive, too. I don’t know what I will do… I can find something to do. I sigh and toss my cell next to me.

I could make plans of my own with friends, but I am not in the mood to socialize. I also need to be available and alert in case Alyssa needs…

I haven’t met her friend she is going out with tonight. All I know is they have been friends for a long time. I have only met a couple of her friends. She doesn’t have many people in her life since she doesn’t have a family, only a small group of friends.

Tol, who she is going out with tonight, is hopefully sensible. They need to make sure they stick together. I groan and shake my head. I need to stop overthinking. I don’t want to text her too much due to my paranoia. It would ruin her night.

I get up from the sofa to grab a quick shower; I am in and out in ten minutes. I will probably take another shower later. I will work out at some point to keep myself busy.

As I sit on my bed to dry off, my cell beeps. I had a feeling about who it was. I grab it quickly. A text with a photo attached appears on my screen from Alyssa. I open it. She is in a… dress. It is loose-fitting and about knee-length. It is a pretty dress. I am glad she chose one like it. If she were in something shorter or tighter, I would hate the thought of…
