Etta James on the record player, a nice bath, and a glass of wine is how I'm spending my Friday night.

It had been too long since Leonor had seen Harper. She’d been excited when her friend reached out, but when the day actually came she considered cancelling. It had been a long week and she dreaded the prospect of being out in the cold and snow any more than she needed to. But she persisted, and as soon as she stepped inside the Vine & Barrel, she instantly felt better. Maybe a few glasses of wine and some good company was exactly what she needed to get her through the rest of the week.

“Harper!” She greeted her friend, returning the warm smile. “I’m not bad. Tired, I suppose. I love my new job, but it has been tough balancing that with the firm.” She sat down and grabbed some cheese. She hadn’t had time to stop for dinner, so the charcuterie was a godsend. She took a minute to savor the taste, then took a deep exhale, finally letting herself relax, and reached for another slice of cheese. “But I’m managing,” she added. “How about you? How’s the Loft?”

[harperanderson]

"I don't know how you find the time to do both," Harper said. The Loft kept her busy enough as an owner and as a mentor to one class; she couldn't imagine working for a law firm or being a professor, both of which were very demanding jobs in her opinion. She reached to pick up some fruit and popped a grape into her mouth. She was glad that Leonor was enjoying the food and just really happy that her friend had been able to find the time to meet up.

"It's going well, thank you. Sales are good, and my employees are doing well. I'm going to be coming up with my next round of workshops soon. Would you like me to let you know when the information is posted so you can see if anything catches your interest?" The attendant walked over and poured two glasses of Pinot Grigio, taking a moment to explain it to them before leaving. Harper swirled her glass and said, "Personally, I'm also doing well. Things with Esha and me are going very well," she said, and couldn't help but smile at the mention of her submissive. "Do you have anyone in your life at the moment?"

Closed starter for @bostonleonor at Vine & Barrel for National Drink Wine Day.

National Drink Wine Day was right up Harper's alley. She had called ahead to reserve a wine tasting flight and charcuterie; it had been for two, and so she had invited Leonor Acosta to join her, assuming Vine & Barrel would be even busier than usual. Honestly, it was one of her favorite places, and aside from enjoying her wine-tasting flight, she fully planned to get a few bottles to take home for herself and probably a bottle or two for Esha as well.

Once inside, Harper was escorted to a table, and just as she had expected, it was busy. The Domme settled herself, hanging her jacket on the back of the chair before she sat in the chair. The tasting room associate brought over a charcuterie board and said the wine tasting flight she ordered would be delivered shortly. The charcuterie looked lovely: prosciutto, green grapes, cherries, cheddar cheese, apples, various nuts, crackers and bread, a few different types of jam, and asiago cheese. The Domme's eyes scanned for Leonor walking in. A smile formed on Harper's lips as she looked at her younger friend. "Hello, Leonor. Lovely to see you. I'm glad you could join me. How have you been?"

To: Harper Anderson From: Esha Patil Occasion: Valentine's Day Date: February 14, 2026 Note: Attached to the bouquet of orchids is a note that reads: "Goddess, I am honored to spend this Valentine's Day with you, as your submissive. Would you also do me the honor of attending the Valentine's Day Pajama Event this evening?

Forrest: I concur, absolutely. Admittedly during my younger years the cold did not irk me quite as much as it does now. I supposed that to be yet another consequence of aging. Forrest: Thank you. Forrest: I appreciate your openness. Recently, Wyatt and I have spent a considerable amount of time discussing various improvements and changes we wish to make to the Starlight. One such improvement is the addition of weekly mark meetings, reminiscent of support groups. I am happy to discuss the overall idea on a more in-depth manner, however for introductory purposes, I simply wish to inquire as to whether you would be willing to assist with these meetings, say, once per month.

[harperanderson]

Harper: I can't say I was ever someone who really enjoyed snow, but yes, I agree. As you get older, you feel it more. Wait until you're over 40.

Harper: Interesting. By assisting, do you mean leading or facilitating this group in some way? It is something I will consider, but I would need more specifics, such as when (so I can ensure it doesn't overlap with the workshop I lead) and what would be expected of me before committing to it. It is an intriguing concept, though. I think the community will enjoy a welcoming space to discuss role-related topics.

[bostonxesha]

As Harper spoke Esha listened intently, her eyes never falling from her Domme's face. She nodded periodically, to show her understanding, but otherwise remained perfectly still and silent. Once Harper had finished speaking, the submissive nodded once more and followed it with a, "yes, Goddess. I understand. Thank you, Miss, for such an opportunity. I'll get the utensils and drinks now."

Standing, Esha turned and made her way towards the kitchen, walking a path she'd so easily become so familiar with. As she moved around the room, following Harper's instructions to a T, she allowed her mind to wander to the instructions she'd been given for dinner that evening. Slight concern gnawed briefly at the back of her mind, nerves fluttering suddenly in her stomach before disappearing as quickly as they'd come.

Within herself, Esha recognized that her apprehension stemmed from the fact that she was concerned about Harper's response to her own response, though a few deep breaths and a moment of refocus managed to divert the submissive from such a slippery path. While concern for her Domme and her feelings was truly natural, the fact remained that Harper had asked for Esha's thoughts, and it went without saying she both expected and demanded transparency. The question was about Esha's need, not about Harper's own; a fact Esha reminded herself of as she collected the directed items and made her way back into the living room. Once she was settled again on her pillow, she turned her eyes back towards Harper, awaiting further instruction.

[harperanderson]

Harper gave a nod of her head and then watched for a moment as Esha walked off. The Domme rose from her chair and moved to click on the fireplace in the living room. For years, she sat in this living room with a record playing and a glass of wine in her hand and enjoyed the warmth of the fire while she thought she would never find love again. But now, Esha was in her life, and everything had changed in a way she hadn't dared hope for.

She made her way to the bedroom, where she picked up a box and carried it out to the living room. Harper placed the box—shaped like a book—on the edge of the coffee table, then she heard a knock at the door. The Domme went to collect their food and set the bag on the table. She paused for a moment while she took in the sight before her, Esha kneeling so beautifully. The warmth and love that were in the room. Harper wanted to do right by Esha; the submissive deserved it.

Harper moved to her record player and put on Etta James' greatest hits. She had a large record collection, including Etta James, Ray Charles, Paul Anka, and Aretha Franklin. Harper would choose a classic any day over today's pop music, for the most part. Once "A Sunday Kind of Love' began to play, Harper moved to pick up the box and settled herself in her chair before she handed it to her submissive. "You may open it and use it to jot down your thoughts, if you find it helpful," Harper said. In the box was a journal and a pen. Harper began taking out the food as she let Esha open it and get started with her thinking.

Forrest: Of course. I am well, thank you for asking. Even so, I admit I am far beyond ready for the temperature to return more consistently to double digits. Forrest: Thank you, Harper. That is very kind. Wyatt and I appreciate your presence, as well as Esha's. It has, yes. Things have progressed well. Forrest: Admittedly, Harper, I possess an ulterior motive for this conversation. If you have a moment, would you be so kind as to humor me with a bit of business discussion?

[harperanderson]

Harper: I completely agree. Not just double digits, but preferably above freezing. Harper: I am glad to hear it. Harper: Of course. What is on your mind?

Forrest: Good evening, Harper. This is Forrest Billiadeux, owner of Starlight Coffee Shop & Cafe. I hope this message finds you well. Forrest: I wished to reach out as it has come to my attention that we have not spoken recently. My apologies. Have you been well?

@harperanderson

[harperanderson]

Harper: Good evening, Forrest. I am well, thank you for asking. I hope you are as well. Harper: I wanted to say, I very much enjoyed your wedding and claiming ceremony. Has married/claimed life been treating you well?

[bostonxesha]

As Esha settled into position she couldn't help but to think of how easy things with Harper were. And, not easy in a negative or troublesome sense. More so, easy in the good life sense. Things between them flowed so naturally, and they simply made sense. While Esha hadn't ever had out-and-out toxicity in her past relationships, she also hadn't ever been in a relationship in which her feelings had been close to comparable. Even still, she worked hard within herself not to jump too quickly, especially knowing the extent of everything Harper had been through, and wanting to ensure things were taken at a pace she was comfortable with. Harper's comfort was Esha's priority always, and in all ways.

Hearing her girlfriend, her Domme, enter the room Esha couldn't help the way her heartbeat sped up, in the best of ways. As Harper settled herself, Esha focused on her breathing, wanting to ensure she was completely calm and in the moment. Then, the praise came, and the submissive couldn't help the shiver that ran up her spine; a feeling of pure pleasure, one only strengthened by the gentle touch Harper granted. As the other woman spoke, she listened intently, bringing her eyes up to look at her Domme while she talked. Once she'd finished, Esha allowed a moment of silence to hang between them before nodding, taking in a breath to speak. "Yes, Goddess. Thank you. I first and foremost want to say, if I may, happy 6 months. The time we've had together has meant more to me than I can say. Thank you, Goddess, for everything." Pausing, she swallowed hard, fighting for composure as she spoke. Clearing her throat, she continued. "And, thank you for ordering Darbar, Miss. I am so looking forward to it."

Taking in a breath, Esha took a final moment to consider Harper's question before answering. "These past six months I have thoroughly enjoyed my rules. Having the privilege of serving you, spending more time with you, caring for you, of worshipping you...I could not be happier. I have most enjoyed the rules that relate directly to caring for you, such as your massages, picking up dinner, cooking our other meals...Those. Transparently, there are no rules I have disliked or found difficult to perform. They have truly brought a newfound sense of structure to me, and I owe that to you, Miss. And, I must admit I do enjoy the additional accountability. I only hope I have performed to your satisfaction, Goddess." Finally she finished, giving a nod as she closed her mouth, indicating the completion of her thoughts.

[harperanderson]

Harper appreciated that Esha didn't instantly respond. Her submissive pausing showed thought and care in the response she gave. Exactly as she had expected from Esha, her girlfriend thanked her for everything these past 6 months. Even though Harper herself had thought these past months had gone very well, it was reassuring to hear that Esha felt the same.

She listened intently as Esha spoke about her rules. It didn't surprise the Domme that Esha had enjoyed those the most; she knew how much the other woman enjoyed service submission. Harper made a mental note of the ones Esha specifically took the time to mention, noting that if Esha did so, her submissive particularly enjoyed them. It wasn't lost on Harper that none of the rules Esha mentioned were sexual- in fact, it was quite the opposite, and the Domme couldn't deny that she enjoyed that. Did she enjoy sex and enjoy having sex with Esha? Absolutely. But their relationship was built on a foundation of nonsexual scenes, and Harper truly enjoyed that sex was not the main focus of the relationship for either of them. First and foremost, Harper would say that they had a deep emotional connection, which wasn't something she formed easily. And after her husband had passed, she had honestly not thought she would feel something like that again until Esha.

Once Esha had finished speaking, Harper gave a nod of her head as well in acknowledgment. "Very good. Thank you. Our dinner should be arriving momentarily. We're going to have a silent dinner tonight. I'm going to sit here and feed you from my plate. While we eat, I do not want you to speak unless you are spoken to. Instead of talking, I want you to use that time to think about what rules you would like to add or change going forward. Think about things that you want, but also think about things that you need, things that would help you. Titles, daily duties, what sort of schedule or frequency, communication protocols, sexual, punishment or discipline, et cetera. " The Domme paused for a moment to let that all sink in. It almost felt silly, knowing Esha was a professional submissive, but Harper also knew personal D/s and clinic D/s were very different.

"If you have no questions, you may go to the kitchen and get me a plate and utensils for our meal, along with a lemon water for me and whatever you want for a beverage. Set them on the coffee table and then kneel on your pillow."

[bostonxesha]

The moment Harper's door opened Esha's smile widened, even before their eyes met. Simply being in her Domme's presence, in her energy, somehow seemed to set the submissive at ease. Of course it had occurred to her that today was their six month anniversary, though what to do about that Esha wasn't certain. Though she herself would have loved to celebrate it, she wasn't certain whether the milestone was something Harper would have been interested in celebrating. For the entirety of their relationship Esha had followed her Domme's lead, not wanting to overstep or do anything to upset the other. Therefore, beyond the fresh flowers and card she'd managed to tuck away in her bag, Esha hadn't formed a solid plan nor hinted at one, wanting to allow Harper to express what she would be comfortable with.

"Yes, Miss. Of course!" Esha replied with a nod, bringing herself to her feet before collecting her things and stepping into Harper's home. "It's wonderful to see you, Miss. And, might I say, you look absolutely stunning this evening." A blush rose on the submissive's cheeks as she turned to make her way towards Harper's bedroom. Once the orders had been completed- including the collection of a gorgeous looking vase- Esha moved back into the living room, placing the vase gingerly on the coffee table before lowering herself in front of Harper's favorite chair, settling back into position as she awaited further instruction.

[harperanderson]

Harper smiled as she watched her submissive follow orders, closing the door behind Esha. While Esha went about following orders, Harper called Darbar restaurant on her phone and placed an order for delivery. One, with it being their 6-month anniversary, she didn't want to make Esha cook. Two, while the Darbar restaurant was not expensive, the food was good. Yes, Harper enjoyed more pricey establishments from time to time, as she was sure did Esha, but they both didn't need it to be expensive to enjoy it. Harper was also trying to embrace Esha's culture and learn more about it since being in an interracial relationship. Food was an easy way to do that, and she had enjoyed broadening her palate thus far.

When she was ready, Harper made her way into the living room. The Domme's eyes settled on Esha, and she smiled, taking in the sight of her girlfriend kneeling there so beautifully. Then, for a moment, her eyes looked at the flowers, and Harper couldn't help but think they added a light to the room, much like Esha's presence. "Good girl," the domme replied and moved to settle herself in her chair, her legs crossed. One hand reached out to run through Esha's hair for a moment, not bothered by the silence that lingered. "As you know, this is our 6-month anniversary. As such, I've ordered from Darbar to be delivered shortly, and I would like to have a 6 month check in of your rules. Tell me your thoughts on your rules over the past 6 months, Esha."

Running a hand over her torso, Esha smoothed the fabric of her shirt before giving her hair a final fluff, inhaling deeply as she placed her bags on the porch beside her. Kneeling, she settled into Harper's preferred position before raising a fist to knock on the door. Bringing her hand down, she placed the backs of her hands atop her thighs, palms facing upward, head bowed, a bouquet of gorgeous freshly cut flowers placed gently in front of the threshold of the door. Smiling to herself, Esha waited patiently for her Domme to make her way to the door, mind swirling as she considered all that might await her this weekend.

[harperanderson]

As Harper awaited Esha's arrival, it occurred to her that it was their six-month relationship anniversary. Should she do something special for it? Was Esha expecting something for it? Just then, a knock on the door pulled Harper from her thoughts. She smoothed down her dress, placed her hand on the doorknob, and opened the door.

Harper took a moment to appreciate the sight of Esha kneeling gracefully before her, her beautiful, devoted submissive. She bent down to pick up the flowers Esha had brought and inhaled their sweet fragrance. With a smile on her lips, Harper stepped back and said, "Come in, Esha. Please put your things in my bedroom; you know the vases are in the linen closet. These flowers are beautiful and smell amazing—thank you. I think they'll look lovely on the coffee table in the living room. Once you're settled, meet me there with the vase."
