This is a continuation of Angela and Devin's story. You can read more about Angela and Devin in my other submissions. They are written out of time sequence, but each story can stand alone. Chronologically this encounter occurs immediately after "Angela's Seduction" In this story Angela learns about what it means to be bound to a master.

Angela felt close to tears. Her emotions had been a wild roller coaster ride for more than a day. This man had infuriated her, terrified her, inflamed her senses to the breaking point, and then made love to her in ways she had never imagined. She had not even known such peaks of ecstasy were possible, and yet she sensed that she had just begun to drink from that well.
Her knees ached from kneeling on the floor for so long. She pulled her face away from his legs and looked up at his face. She raised her wrists to him. "Help me put my bracelets back on please."
Devin pulled her to her feet clutching her fiercely to his chest. "You are a precious treasure, Angela. You have no idea how happy you have made me." His lips found hers and for the first time she felt him tremble.
He lifted her into his arms and carried her to his room. He sat her on the edge of the bed and gently pulled her robe closed. Kneeling at her feet he held out his hands. "Give me your wrists." She mutely held out her arms to him and he reverently buckled the leather bands around her wrists.
Still on his knees he looked at her intensely. "Angela look at me, its very important that you listen. Any time you want to stop all you have to say is 'stop'. Any time you want to be free all you have to say is 'let me go'. Any time you want to leave all you have to say is 'I want to go home."
"What you said yesterday about magic spells was very true. I have been doing everything in my power to bind you to me. If we take this step it will forge a bond between us that won't easily be broken. Each time you give yourself to me, I will own more of your soul, until I have consumed you completely. Only then you will be mine truly and wholly. That is a sweet and terrible gift for it places upon each of us obligations. You will become my source of strength and comfort. I will become your refuge of safety and ecstasy. What we will feel for each other will transcend love."
"You will be expected to submit to me. I will have power over you. Power is a very strong drug but it is also a responsibility of amazing proportions."
"Neither of us should undertake this kind of commitment without open eyes. Today, even tomorrow you will still be able to walk out that front door, but soon it will become increasingly difficult until you are trapped as surely as the sculpture in the front room."
She slid from the bed and knelt facing him. "You don't even live here, you live in London. You will leave me alone." Her lips trembled at the thought.
"These bonds we will forge between us will stretch around the world. I will come back to you as often as I can. Waiting can be an act of submission greater than any pain or pleasure."
Angela listened to his torrent of words, feeling each of them strike into her heart, piercing her with their mixed message of a promise of a perfect refuge and a threat of the loss of herself. She sensed that his words had barely touched the enormity of the thing that lay before them. She did know one thing, it was probably too late for her to leave now already. She knew that she could not walk out that door now. In fact she felt like she would have to dragged kicking and screaming to get her to leave.
"This is madness Devin. I met you only yesterday. How do you know I will be able to do this."
"I don't know for sure but I sense great depths in you. I am willing to take the risk if you are."
"Devin, I think your magic has enchanted me more than you imagine." She gently touched his lips and then placed her hands in his. "Devin I give myself to you. Help me learn to be worthy of you."
He marveled how she intuitively understood that the only transformation that could be openly acknowledged was her own. In order for her to truly submit to him there could be no question of his absolute power and infallibility. He stood and raised her to her feet and had her sit on the edge of the bed once more.
Angela sat and watched him walk to his bureau and open a drawer. When he turned back to her he had what looked like a handful of silk ties, but they were all the same black color. When he returned he handed them to her. "I prefer silk to rope." Picking one up she ran it through her fingers. It was multiple layers of heavy silk sewn together, about two inches wide and about 8 feet long. It was amazingly soft and strong. There were a half dozen of them coiled like snakes across her lap. He stood back, his face suddenly unreadable, his eyes shadowed, watching her.
The tension was building in her, she shuddered. "Devin I don't know what to do. Please tell me what to do."
His words were a mystery. "All you have to do is give yourself to me."
She stood and pulled off her robe and stood before him. She knelt and offered up the silk tie to him. "Devin, I give myself to you. Please help me learn. I need you to help me. Bind me to you please."
He reached down and took her wrists and slipping the silk through the D rings he tied her hands firmly together in front of her. Angela felt a thrill of fear and an even stronger rush of excitement. "Thank you."
He pulled her to him, "For tonight call me 'Sir', don't use my name." His heart was full of amazing emotion and he knew he was in danger of either clutching her to him and protesting his love to her or losing control of his zeal and testing her too severely.
Taking the long end of the silk tie binding her wrists together he tied the silk high on the tall post on one corner of his bed, stretching her arms high over her head, lifting her to stand on her toes.
"I will cause you pain and pleasure. Trust that I will not ask more from you than you can give. If you need me to stop all you have to say is 'stop'. If you need to be freed all you have to do is say 'let me go'. If you want to leave all you have to say is 'I want to go home.' Do not use these words unless you are serious. If you stop me too often you will disappoint me."
Her calves were already quivering from the strain of holding her weight. "You will find that you will have to alternate holding your weight with your arms and then your toes. This struggle is part of your submission."
She nodded mutely, her breath coming in nervous gasps, tears of fear beading her lashes.
"Do you have any idea of how beautiful you are right this minute?" He began to gently stroke her body. Leaning down he pulled a nipple into his mouth and sucked hard. She whimpered, the sensation exquisitely teetering on the knife edge between pain and pleasure. He gently bit and tugged at her. Her whimper deepened into a moan. He moved to her other breast and began to tease and bite her. He ran his fingers down to cunt. She tried to spread her legs for him but found it made her take all her weight on her arms, she knew she couldn't hold herself that way for long. He cupped his hand under her crotch and lifted her easing some of her weight, holding her up with two fingers deep inside her, the heel of his hand pressing and massaging. She moaned softly. He lowered his hand so she had to support her full weight once more but kept his fingers in her. He began to move his fingers in and out of her, rubbing her clitoris. He continued until her legs began shake violently and she pulled herself up with her arms. A sob broke out of her. Grabbing her around the waist he lifted her up. "Wrap you legs around me." She groaned in relief. Cupping his hands under her ass, he continued to probe and massage her cunt. He could sense her building excitement. When she was close, her cries urging him, her legs starting to spasm, he stopped and whispered in her ear, "Time to struggle again." And pushed her legs down off his hips, stepping away from her.
"No, Oh god, Please No." The words ripped from her throat in a scream of pain and frustration. Reaching down and seizing her cunt in his hand and continued his stimulation.
"Did you ask me to stop?"
Suddenly still hanging full weight on her arms, she lifted her head and through gritted teeth she grated out, "I did not say that." She struggled up onto her toes staring into his eyes, her face fiercely determined. "Fuck me, fuck me harder." Her words hoarse with tears and passion. He lifted her with his hand in her cunt and wailing she began to spasm around his fingers, her legs limp under her, hanging from her arms as the waves of pleasure blocked out the pain.
He quickly lowered her and she collapsed to the floor her legs limp under her. He lifted her to the bed and held her close, her bound hands trapped between them. "You are far braver than I ever imagined you would be." She suddenly burst into tears, her deep wracking sobs shaking her whole body. He held her, gently rocking until she had cried herself out.
Once she caught her breath, she took a deep shuddering breath. She said, "I am sorry. I don't know why I am crying."
He gently untied her hands and turned her onto her stomach and began to massage her feet and calves. "Your nerves may be a bit on edge." She sighed and stretched groaning in pain and relief. By the time he had worked his way up to her shoulders and arms, her eyes were heavy and sleepy. She stifled a big yawn. He kissed her on the forehead. Covering her with a blanket, he whispered "Sleep now, brave girl." She smiled and sighed but did not open her eyes.
He got a pillow and a spare blanket and made himself a bed on one of the couches in the living room.
Angela was pulled from sleep by pain. Her calves and the arches of her feet ached. Her shoulders ached. She was not disoriented. She knew exactly where she was. The memories of the night before were sharp and fresh, echoing through her mind with every pang and ache she felt. She had never felt so calm, so satisfied, so triumphant.
