Restraining you the first time was a mistake, Slave. Now it's all I can think about.
I want us to scene in the dungeon; I want to watch onlookers' enraptured looks in the mirror as I show you off. You mark so beautifully; you whimper so prettily. You are breathtaking.
I want to see you on the St. Andrew's Cross, facing me and restrained by the same heavy white ropes and carabiners I improvised with that first time at my home. I could wrap one ten foot length around your torso, behind the cross, and up to the D-rings on your heavy black leather cuffs, and then fasten both to the arms of the cross. Simple, straightforward, effective. Take up the slack by wrapping your arms. Less skin for me to break, but above my height anyway.
I can already feel the energy in the middle of that scene: you pulling me down with you into headspace as I break you down to a pure, crying creature who knows peace through pain. I want to hear you snivel between strikes of my dragon's tongue. I want to be able to glance up between strokes and see the tears on your cheeks. God, you're beautiful. Is it your pain I admire, your acceptance of it, or what you transmute it into that moves me?
I have to press against you, connect with you. As I step toward you I exchange the dragon's tail for a coated rebar spike, one I can both cane and scratch with. Standing on the base of the cross with you, I press my naked torso against yours, feeling the patchy heat radiating from tomorrow's bruises. Another glance up, and sure enough, your eyes are shut. You're so much easier to scare this way. I open my mouth and brush my lips against your chest, and then chuckle when you flinch and whimper. What is your base instinct, I wonder, to flee or to encourage me? I kiss your chest quickly and smile when you gasp. Yes, the second option.
