Thorn waited for Shadow to finish getting ready as she composed a want ad to send off to the newspaper.<br/><br/><div align="center"> <em><strong>Help Wanted<br/>Looking for someone to come to my home to clean and occasionally cook.  <br/>No experience necessary.  <br/>Please send an email to GreenThorn@mailme.com.</strong> </em> </div><br/>Satisfied that it was short and to the point, she faxed it to the local newspaper just as Shadow walked down the steps.  “Ready?”<br/><br/>The ride to the bar was done silently as most things were between the two women and upon their arrival Thorn paid the taxi driver then led them both into the bar.  With only once glance between them they scanned the bar for Stine, quickly finding only one man who was sitting alone.  “Must be him,” Shadow whispered and Thorn nodded in return.<br/><br/>As they approached the table, Stine stood up acknowledging that they were correct and politely waited for them both to grab a seat before returning to his own.  After the ordered their drinks and made small talk, Thorn slightly leaned back and crossed her legs.  “Before we leave there are a few things you must know about our activities.  Right now as we speak there is a playmate at our house.  When you see him, he will be bound and naked.  This is all part of the game we play.  He might cry, he might curse, he might urinate on himself…this is all part of his role.  Our playmates like to fully immerse themselves in that role.  He may even ask you to ‘save him’,” Thorn finished her drink and smiled over at Shadow who had not known how they were going to explain things to Stine.  Shadow gave her a small smirk once she saw where Thorn was going with the conversation.<br/><br/>After studying Stine for a moment with a gentle smile on her face, she continued.  “He does have what is known as a safe word.  A safe word is a word that would not normally be used during an encounter, and if he says it we untie him and promptly quit whatever it is we are doing.  So basically you will see pain, torture, and someone who will scream for us to stop, but you need to remember it is all part of this encounter.”  She gently put her hand on Stine’s arm and moved her body slightly closer waiting for his response.
