His Whims - A First Time BDSM Taboo Erotica Short Story

Lauren smirked. She worked at one of the biggest art galleries in town and taught pottery and carving classes. Her clothing was often old jeans and tee shirts. She had the occasional gala she had to attend and that merited her need for dressy clothing. But she did take it overboard. Her closet had all kinds of clothes and shoes. And the boots she just purchased were boots she couldn't wear to work. She had boots already, brown boots, black boots, and even a red pair of boots. The new boots were suede grey. She didn't even know how she would explain having the pair because Neil's ever observant eye would catch the fact that she was wearing something new. She figured she'd wait a while and explain it as something she'd bought on sale a while back, so he'd dismiss it easily.



"I wear all my stuff too," she said dismissively. "Can we go eat dinner?" She hoped to distract him from feeling he needed to prove his point of her having too many clothes and shoes. He followed her out and she thought the issue was over.



Dinner was quiet as they ate a meal they had frozen a month earlier and baked in the oven. Neil quietly prepared for bed as she showered. When she came out she saw to her horror, Neil sitting at her closet, the bag and boots before him, a scowl on his face. "Care to tell me what this is?" he asked as his eyes swung up to her.



Wrapping the robe tightly around her body, Lauren cleared her throat. "Boots," she said knowing the obvious answer wouldn't sit well with the man who just caught her in a big lie.



"Obviously. And the receipt has today's date on it. When I came home you weren't trying to find an earring. You were hiding this," Neil said accusingly.



Lauren had no choice but to admit to the lie. She hoped by making light of it would diffuse his anger toward her. "Okay, yes. I bought the boots today. I didn't want you to know, because well this. You already think I have more than I need. I don't have a grey pair though. Look at them, aren't they nice?" she asked as she grinned.



The question didn't amuse Neil. "It's not that you bought the boots that angers me. It's the fact that you lied about it. You even made up an elaborate story about the earring. Why? Why would you go to such great measures to deceive me?" Neil asked. 



"It's not that I'm trying to deceive you. I know how you feel about the clothes and shoes in my closet. I shouldn't have to justify what I buy, Neil." Lauren became angry as she spoke to him.
