How to Pour Water

A few weeks back, I was at Adam's house and he sent me to the kitchen to fetch him some lemonade.
I poured Adam the last of the lemonade in the pitcher. Being a dutiful sub, I took it upon myself to make more lemonade without being asked (someday, we should discuss how submission has made me a more thoughtful person all around, but that's a blog for another day). 
When I bring Adam his drink, he remarks that he heard the water running - did I make more lemonade?  Expecting to hear "good girl", the "Yes, Sir" fair flew out my mouth.
"How far did you fill up the pitcher?"
*sigh* I had made the lemonade wrong - too weak.
Later, lemonade finished, Adam sent me back to the kitchen to fetch him some water (he wouldnt drink my weakass lemonade) and this time the water pitcher was nearly empty.  Again, being a dutiful sub, I refill the water pitcher without prompting. I GOT this, I say to myself.  On the way back to the living room, I'm even getting my smartass remark all ready about how this time I know I couldn't have messed up. Who can mess up water?
Me.
Oh, I did just fine refilling the pitcher.  It was the glass of water I had screwed up.  I had filled it too full and Adam spilled on himself as he took it from me.
Evidently, my beverage education had some gaps in it.
I have lots and lots of incredibly supportive vanilla friends.  They enjoy my stories of slutty adventures.  Most are agreed that they would not, for example, care to have their asses beaten to bruising or fuck strangers in a club because their date told them to, but they figure sexual tastes differ and if it makes me happy, all is well.
What disturbs them, what puzzles them most is the domestic service.  Frankly, it puzzles me too.  My general guideline is that if an act does me no harm and gives a lover pleasure, I'll give it a try.
I know that there are subs who live for service.  I'm not one of them.  Sometimes just the word "service" rankles.  Other times, I'm really proud of myself for pouring a glass of water correctly.

  1. I remember a long time ago reading about a woman in NYC who couldn't find a housekeeper for the life of her, and so she placed an ad for subs who would come and pay her to clean her house for her. She said they kept the house very clean, but that it was a lot of work for her in the long run, and ended up with a more traditional housekeeping solution.

    1. Male subs? I've heard similar stories.

      For me, much of the point of domestic service at Adam, Lillith and Eve's house is lightening the load for Lillith and Eve, demonstrating my appreciation that they welcome me in their home, in their man's bed.

      Serving a different Dom, with different motives, I could imagine doing a slipshod job occasionally in hopes of eliciting a - um - response. Adam frowns on such brattiness and to do so would be inconsiderate of Lillith and Eve.

  2. Some doms just don't know how to drink from a glass without spilling.
