Joshua.

Holidays.

No submission.

These are my first thoughts as I wake up on this Sunday morning.

I don't know what time it is, but Joshua must be on a plane right now, somewhere between Paris and Los Angeles, and in a few hours, he will be here, in this house, for a few days. That is enough to draw a goofy smile across my lips while I enjoy a few more minutes of darkness behind my closed eyelids, and then I remember that I am off until next Sunday.

The last couple of months have been quite busy between my shifts at the Hell Fire, assisting Ivan in the club management, my Mondays dedicated to revisions and discovering next schoolyear's program, and finally regular nights at the Hell Fire, so that week of holidays is more than welcome. A reward that Ivan granted before I even asked, one that will allow me to enjoy my childhood friend's presence to the fullest and without my Dominant on my back 24/7.

Since Ivan was in such a bright mood on the day he made that offer, I also negotiated a week off my submission phase; more or less. I am still not ready to tell my best friends about the lifestyle I indulge in, much less for any of them to witness me as a Submissive, so after a bit of compromising, Ivan agreed that we wouldn't use the playroom throughout the week and that he would play my boyfriend in Joshua's presence – clearly meaning that I might still expect to be fucked in bed at night.

Fine with me. I can deal with that, and a week of near-freedom might be interesting.

"PET!!!!"

Ouch. Ivan's distant voice not only achieves to pull me from my sleepy state, but the name clearly reminds me that the Dom is still around.

"LAST CALL!"

What? Did he try to wake me up before?

"IF YOU'RE NOT DOWNSTAIRS WITHIN TEN MINUTES, I'M GOING TO THE AIRPORT WITHOUT YOU!"

Shit! Is it that late?

After a quick peek at the alarm clock on his bedside table saying it's already 11:45, I jump out of bed, shouting at him to wait for me, and rush to the bathroom. Dammit! Josh is landing at 12:50! Within less than fifteen minutes, I have used the toilets, showered, brushed my teeth and slipped into my underwear, shorts and a tee-shirt. As I reach the first floor, I find Ivan sitting at the island counter, quietly seeping his tea and eating toasts when I was expecting him to already be in the car.

"Aren't you ready? I thought you wanted to go with me?" I exclaim.

"Good morning, Pet," he replies sternly yet with a smug expression on his face.

"Sorry... yes... Good morning, Master..." I answer, reaching out for a peck. "So? Aren't you going?"

"Yes, I am."

"Let's go then!" I urge him impatiently.

"We've got time, Pet. Take a seat and have breakfast."

"It's too late, Master. It's past noon!"

"11:31," he replies after checking his watch.

"Impossible. Your alarm clock said 12 when I got out of the bathroom," I reply dryly, annoyed by the smirk on his lips, and as I look at the oven clock, it suddenly clicks in my head. "You didn't..." I sigh, taking a seat across from him and stealing a toast from his plate.
