She looked ahead as told. In front of her the moon was high, surrounded by stars and planets, darkness behind her. She could hear him in the darkness, as she stood, long black velvet gloves up to her elbows, long black dress down to the floor.
With the tall windows of the condo offering the only light in the room, she was glad it was a beautiful clear night with a full moon. Although she knew he was behind her, somehow she felt eerily alone standing with her back to him and her arms stretched way above her head. But she didn't move.
She stared ahead at the point where she could see the ocean and the sky meeting. Dazzling stars twinkled on the water and the sound of the waves hitting the rocks below helped her to relax. She needed to relax, for although she trusted him with her life, the anticipation of what was to come always left her a bit on edge.
She shifted her feet just to give her back a bit of a pop, closed her eyes and listened to the gentle flow of the waves against the rocks. How soothing it was, how peaceful it made her feel. The condo was so quiet now. Looking ahead she felt like she might be the only one left on the face of the earth, but she knew he was there somewhere in that darkness behind her, waiting until he decided she was ready. Watching her.
She jumped a bit at his touch, but she never lowered her arms, never moved from the spot or position he had put her in, feet together, hands entwined high above her head. His finger tips running over the silky texture of her flowing black dress felt like feathers on her neck above the line of her dress and she felt a chill rush down her spine, between the cheeks of her buttock and ebb just before it reached her pussy.
How did he do that she wondered, how could he play her so well? He knew exactly how to touch her to get her emotions charged, but he also knew when to stop to keep those same emotions under control. She longed to spread her legs for him, beg him to lift her dress and touch her more, but she didn't move.
She felt coldness against her neck, then felt a slow ripping sound and the room's air hitting her back. She knew what he was doing and despite the thought that her beautiful black dress was being split open, the feel of the side of the cold knife on her skin and the air rushing in made her almost fall over with pure eroticism.
The dress now lay loosely against her body and separated in the back. She felt him move it further apart and heard the snap of clothes pins as he pined it forward to have full access to the back of her body. He ran the knife down her spine and goose bumps began to form behind the sliding tip of the steel. Slowly he glided it to her panty line and once again she heard the rip of the fabric of her black silk panties as he cut them away on both sides.
She heard him move back a bit as she felt them slowly fall down her thighs, to her knees, then ankles until they rested on the floor between her feet. His footfalls drew closer as he reached up under her left arm, then her right and cut her bra away in the same fashion. Her breasts tumbled out of her bra and her nipples began to grow hard. Finally she felt his fingers again tracing up her spine where the knife had been before and her flesh crawled as her nerve endings tingled under her skin.
He lifted her now useless bra over her head and she moaned as it fell between her dress and her skin, gently fluttering to the floor to lie next to her panties. She wanted to scream. She needed support; she wanted to faint because the excitement was more then she could handle. She didn't move.
She listened as he moved away again and strained to identify the sound she was hearing after his footfalls stopped. It was foreign to her, maybe ropes being pulled from his nylon bag but somehow the sound was different, she heard a faint tinkling among the sounds. She caught her breath as she felt his approach again.
He was facing her before she knew to expect it and she smiled broadly at him, despite the tingle in her arms from the lack of circulation. He reached up without saying a word and took both of her arms in his hands and lowered them, as though knowing the growing numbness was distracting her. He smiled at her and rubbed the back of his hand against her cheek. She tucked her head into his hand and inhaled deeply. She loved to smell him, to feel him.
