Long showers and nakedness

Stepping out of the shower slave quickly dries off and pokes her head out of the open bathroom door, Master is stretched out on the bed relaxing. "What would You like me to smell like Sir?" slave asks then quietly waits for His reply. After a few moments Master answers, with a soft "thank You Master" slave lotions thoroughly though she has to concentrate so she doesn't rush, then she sprays the matching scent.
Master kindly allows slave to take showers that are a little longer than she needs most of the time so once she is finished slave has been out of His collar for way too long.
her neck prickles uncomfortably and she feels frighteningly naked, checking Masters collar to be sure its cleaned properly slave places it in her mouth and crawls to Masters bedside.
slave kneels, collar in her hands as they rest upturned on her knees and she listens for a movement from Him as she tries to be still.

Waiting stretches into eternity as slave grown increasingly uncomfortable.

After what was probably a short time Master looks down at her and asks "are you ok slave, you look a little pale?"slave gives Him a pleading look and holds up His collar because she cannot speak past the lump in her throat. Masters expression becomes one of boyish innocence "oh you are still naked aren't you?" He exclaims looking terribly shocked. slave doesn't miss the devious twinkle in His eyes though or the hint of a smile at the corners of His mouth as Master enjoys her torment.

Holding out His hand Master takes His collar and relief floods through slave as she bows her head over His knee, pulling her hair to the side. Masters fingers brush her neck as He slides the cool leather around her neck. slave closes her eyes happily as the click of the lock sounds close to her ear and Master rests His hand on her head and pets her. Comforted slave whispers a wholehearted thank You and sinks to her knees, thinking about how privileged she is to serve such a wonderful Master. Life is good.
