Nick found that the day did take far longer to pass as he waited and waited for the final bell to ring. When it finally did so, he walked briskly out to his car, more than a little impatient to get home. The brief drive still felt like it took forever, and he finally pulled into the drive of the fairly spacious home, grabbing his bag from the passenger seat and jogging to his front door, which he unlocked easily. God, he was thankful that his father wasn't home at all this week. Stepping inside, he quickly moved upstairs to the set of rooms that were his. With this giant house for just the two of them, the agreement was that his father basically had a set of rooms to himself downstairs, and Nick had some upstairs. A private bathroom, a bedroom, then another room that was intended as a sort of home office and study area for him, though Nick had converted it into a makeshift BDSM room while still keeping it disguised as a workspace.
He stashed his backpack by the wardrobe in his bedroom, then moved to the bathroom, stripping down quickly. Showering in the most efficient way possible, he was done quickly, and cast the clothes he had been wearing into a laundry hamper in one corner. Fishing around in his closet, he retrieved a pair of black pants and slipped into them, the only piece of clothing he was now wearing. They fit him well without being too tight to get off, which was ideal for this kind of scenario. Then he paced into the side room, cleaning away the papers and notebooks on the desk and stashing them in one of the drawers. Opening one of the other drawers, he retrieved a number of items: metal handcuffs, two small vibrators, some soft leather cuffs linked together with a clip (two sets), a red ball-gag, a soft leather whip, and a riding crop. A small cardboard box atop the desk also held a handful of wooden clothespins. A few bundles of soft black rope lay along one edge as well. The room itself was otherwise rather unremarkable, with a simple chair pulled away from the desk, and a few bookshelves with books along one wall. Almost unnoticeable were the eyelets securely fixed in the ceiling and other walls, which could be used for suspending and restraining someone with ease. The floor of the room was polished wood, making it easy to clean as well. It was an excellent setup, and about as good as he was going to get until he had his own place.
The soft knock on the door was surprisingly audible up the stairs, given how quiet the house was when he was the only occupant. Jogging down the stairs, he opened the door, his lean torso exposed. It wasn't the first time she had seen him shirtless - hell, she'd seen him in less when she came to watch him swim; a lot less - but it was the first time he had intentionally chosen to be shirtless around her. His eyes swept her body and lingered on the skirt for a moment, that killer smirk back on his lips. "Well don't you just look delicious." He said, his bright green eyes electric with a hidden desire. He gestured for her to come in grandly, closing the door behind her. "Now before we start this, I want to know how far you're willing to go today. If you're willing to just go with it and jump full in, that's fine, but I want to know if you don't. Wanting to move slowly into this world is totally understandable." he gave her a reassuring smile. "And remember. I'm going to dominate you, take you, play with you, bind you, and be rough with you. But you have the ability to make it stop if you need to."
