Master and i are sitting at the counter, eating spinach salads and club crackers with that heavenly smoked shrimp spread He bought from the little gourmet shop down the street. Half finished bottles of soda and water litter the counter top, and i'm playing with His laptop, checking my email. We just finished a couple of hours of part D/s play, part sumptuous lovemaking and are surfeit, replete with satisfaction. Satiated. The glow of fulfillment is still buzzing through my well used body.
He'd mentioned earlier something about inviting His friend over, and i didn't feel ready for that. Before i even arrived He told me He was going to push me this time, further than ever before, and we were having a mild disagreement over this-not the pushing but the impending company. Torn between selfishly wanting to spend all my time alone with Him and pleasing Him was creating a small dilemma.
Every now and then during a lull in the conversation, we stop and catch each other's eyes. Time actually seems to stand still for a few moments. It's wonder on my part. Gratification, among a myriad of other emotions. Every time we see each other things-everything-just gets better and better. But this time, something's very different. There's something new in His eyes. Just can't put my finger on it.
It's like lightning is shooting out of them straight through my heart. It's almost like He's demanding more of me without actually coming out and saying so. How the heck does He DO that? It's a little unsettling, yet very arousing.
Rising to gather the dishes and rinse them in the sink i His eyes follow my every move. i can smell the leather of the cuffs still on my wrists. i can smell His scent on my body. my movements are slow and lazy and my body performs these small chores as though i'm underwater. His eyes are searing my backside, causing my red butt to burn all over again. He makes me feel pretty and happy. What more could a girl ask for?
"Go stand in the corner." my stomach lurches at the authoritative tone of His voice. O God. i want Him. Again. More. Always more. But...why the corner? What did i do? Isn't that punishment? And it's more than a little embarrassing. Feeling the heat of a blush rise from my shoulders to my face i turn to face Him.
"What? Why? i didn't do anything."
"Go stand in the corner, now." His eyes glitter as they meet mine.
"But that's punishment. i read it somewhere, and i didn't..." Walking toward Him seated at the counter, reaching out to put my hand on His shoulder, i start to try to reason with Him. Big mistake.
"kitten, NOW." My outstretched hand halts in midair.
"But...but..." My hand drops as anger flashes in His eyes. He stands and walks toward me slowly as i back away, hand stretched out behind me feeling for the wall. "i just don't...i mean, i read in a book that standing in the corner was punishment and i didn't do anything wrong." My voice trails off the closer He gets to me. Looking up at Him, i plead with Him with my eyes to quit this. It's embarrassing, damnit! i don't want to stand in the corner!
Stopping, trying to hold my ground, my hands unknowingly begin to wring the dishtowel, twisting it in confusion.
"i just want to know what i did! It's not in the RULES!" Beginning to get angry and a little scared, not wanting to argue yet unable to understand His reasoning, i grope for a way to comprehend this and begin to stutter. "Wh...wh...wha..."
my mouth clamps shut as His face stops inches from mine, as i watch in fascination as His eyes go from cold to colder. The very sight of it makes me shiver in fear and anticipation and i lower my eyes in an effort to counteract the chill.
"We don't go by rules in some book you read. We go by OUR rules. MY rules."
Raising my eyes in defiance, along with my voice, i say, "I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING!" Another big mistake.
A strong hand instantly snakes out and grasps me by the throat, pushing me against the wall. The dishtowel falls to the floor unnoticed as icy blue eyes freeze my soul, glaring into mine with an intensity that chills my marrow. my body begins to quake deep inside, but still feeling the need to stand my ground, not wanting to feel the humiliation of standing in the corner, i open my mouth again, "But..." Will i never learn?
Fingers slowly dig into the flesh of my neck as the hand tightens perceptively around it. It's hard to be strong when you're naked with only white scrunchy sox, a collar and leather wrist cuffs on.
"When I say to do something, you DO IT! No questions. No arguments."
"Dammit! That's punishment and i didn't.." His eyes immediately frost over, leaving me behind in their arctic wake. i went too far. Butterflies flit around in my stomach.
