"Can you believe the nerve?" I said in disgust. "Give me a break? Oh, how sweet of him!" I sneered sarcastically. "I am NOT emailing him back!"
"Hell no!" Ronnie reiterated. "Fuck him." she added, not one to mince words. "I think he needed the break, not you. He couldn't handle it. Just tell him you are a grown woman, perfectly capable of deciding when you need a break!"
We continued the debate. Where had this come from and why he would be acting like this? "I just don't understand..." I said, my voice trailing off. "I thought he really enjoyed what we were doing as much as I did. Now, he is acting so detached."
"Don't worry about it, Jen. He did enjoy it. You don't need that shit. There are a hundred other guys out there that you can chat with and have just as much fun and excitement, without them treating you like that."
"You're right," I sighed, not sounding at all convinced that she was. I fluctuated between being really hurt and really angry, re-reading previous emails and wondering where I went wrong...why didn't I see this coming?
Who was I kidding? I did see it all along, and that is why I was so hesitant to submit. Still, it didn't explain how he could come at me like a speed train, and then stop on a dime.
Thank God I had vacation planned the next day with my family. This is exactly what I needed, to get away from everything, give me a new perspective. And, secretly, of course, I was glad I wouldn't have any access to my laptop, and therefore couldn't email him, even if I wanted to.
The trip was fabulous, a much needed change of scenery...although I couldn't stop the intrusive thoughts of Michael, and what I was going to do when I returned.
I logged onto my email, and tried to prepare myself for whatever, if anything, was in my inbox. Two messages from him. My heart leapt, insides started tingling...No, no, control yourself, Jen, I thought.
The first one said, "Haven't heard back. You ok?" I couldn't help the smile that formed on my lips.
Second message, "Playing hard to get?" Okay, now I was absolutely giddy; he was showing some concern and interest. Of course, still remaining the Dom that he was, he was in total control of his emotions. But the fact that he had sent two messages told me he didn't want this to end. I was ecstatic.
But, still pissed. The devil in me wanted to get him back, I can't deny that. I was secretly glad he was anxious, just like he made me. Yeah, I knew it was childish, but it was all part of it too. The mental control, the play back and forth....this is what I lived for, the rush I got. And for him as well.
Ten days after his first email, I decided it was time to respond. This had to be a good one.
"I decided to return the favor and give you a break, lol." I sent it, silently giggling and wondering how he would take it, what his response would be, if he would respond?
A few days passed, with no reply. He was biding his time, I figured he would. Then it came.
"Couldn't resist though could you. Miss me?"
"Humph!" I sharply exhaled- He always had the perfect answer. But, isn't that what turned me inside out, the fact that he never succumbed? I was angry though, and tiring of this game.
"I could wait the 4-5 days required to respond, but I'm not going to.....What do you want from me? Do you want me to beg? Don't answer that, lol.
Please, just leave me alone, if you are going to keep tossing out these little crumbs. I do miss talking to you, but I don't want to play these stupid games anymore."
One day passed, then two. Three, five, seven....with no reply. I had to admit it; I missed him, and started to feel confused and remorseful about my email. My thoughts started to race.....What does he owe you, Jen? Did he promise you anything? Did he lie? No, he didn't. You're a big girl, and you spread your legs wide and took it like a grown woman..It was a fun thing, and you should have just taken it for what it was, and enjoyed it.
I had to contact him, maybe it wasn't too late.
I sent him an email -my tone fragile and filled with longing, "Please.... write to me again. Do you never think about me?" I hated myself for being so weak!
Two days later...a response. I was so nervous, and had no idea what to expect at this point. I opened the email and slowly opened my eyes to read it....
"Are you begging me?"
Rapture! It was on.
"On my knees," I replied, my eyes blazing.
"Wearing?"
"Pink lace bandeau bra with matching pink lace boy shorts," I said, with picture attached, trying to please him.
"That's satisfactory, but you can do better," he said dryly.
"I'm sorry, Master. I will try to do better next time- I so want to please you..." I said with eager enthusiasm, wanting to show him how hard I was trying.
"I want to see your pussy. You have an hour. I like that you want to please me. That's exactly the attitude I was hoping to see. Obviously the training's working."
"Training? Is that what this is...my training? Is that why you gave me a break? To break me?" I replied, purposely trying to provoke his fire.
"Yes, this is your training, and I did break you didn't I? How sweet, the tone of your begging was to me. Delicious desperation.
Do you think that's cruel? Do you think I care?
You are ma petite esclave, and you must learn how to behave.
If you do, you may get a reward. If you don't, you will be punished." he returned, sending me in an erotic tailspin. God, he was good.
"You did break me, shamefully so. It almost killed me to write to you, but I couldn't stop myself," I said, looking up from under my eyelashes with lips pouty, languishing in my own helplessness.
"I'm glad you felt ashamed. How did you feel when I responded?"
"Excited... but nervous. What did you think of my angry outburst?" I asked, figiting in my seat.
"I liked your anger. It amused me. By writing that, all you managed to do was just confirm what I already knew. That you are my slave in training. You are hooked on me, on these exchanges. I bet you were thinking about me the last time you came. When did you last fuck without thinking about what we're doing?"
My eyes were on fire after I read that. I loved his cruelness..he had such a way of putting me in my place, while still making me feel hot and desirable.
"I love being your little slave....xx... so wet right now, I'm yours, take me." I exhaled.
"I'm glad you understand your position, my jouet. I also think we should start writing again."
"I actually did write more, an alternate ending, but never sent it to you. Am I your amusement?" I asked him, after deliciously looking up the translation.
"You are strictly for my amusement. I'd love to read the alternate."
"Why do you want to read the alternate?" I asked, not really wanting him to see how emotionally attached I had become.
"Because I like how you write- straight from the heart. Now send it to me, along with the picture."
I went upstairs, got my camera and clicked off a few frames, before finding the hottest one, a picture of my naked sex with a string of pearls draped in between my bare lips and sent it to him.
"Red hot and right on time. I got hard the minute it dropped into my inbox. I love the inclusion of the pearls.. If I was there, I would give you a tight hot fuck in your bedroom while your husband is out." he said darkly.
"Oh, you are so erotic...if only you could give me a tight hot fuck," I gushed.
"I'd also like a little resistance. I would insist you turn and face me. Every woman has a certain expression during anal sex. I wonder what yours would be. I'd love to see it one day."
Good night, I was done. I sat there, my mind spent from the passion expelled and received. The break we had put a new element into our relationship-a hostility and lust that took things to a higher level. It was delicious misery. Was this all part of it? The dynamic between Dom and sub? Was the break really just a tactic he employed to gain more control over me? I wanted to assume yes, it was. It was too painful to think that he had tired of me, had lost interest; because that would only mean he may do it again, and in all likelihood, would. Did that realization stop me? Maybe it would have, had I not deliberately wrapped the blanket of denial around me. My own behavior was so out of character that I no longer knew who I was anymore. The seduction and our story resumed, full speed ahead....with our heroine desperately trying to cling to what little dignity I, er-I mean she, had left......
~~No....No!" I say aloud. I want to run. "Please.....Oh God! Help me," I whimper, knowing it's futile.... I want to resist you, but I can't. What are you doing to me?
This is exactly what I wanted, but I feel so powerless, and it makes me tremble. I want you desperately, but your control over me is frightening.
I start to pull away, "I can't...I can't do this..." As I walk away, I feel the tug of my emotions, pleading me to stay. I ignore it and continue to walk towards the door. Good-bye Michael...
**
You hear me chuckle to myself as you walk slowly towards the door, watching your ruined skirt flap against your legs.
"Stop" I say.
You're fighting it. Face hot with shame. Your slow steps become slower and then you stop as you reach the door. You can't bear to look at me.
"You can leave if you want to. You can always stop if that's what you want. But I don't think that's what you want."
"I think you want to please me. Isn't that right?"
"Look at me and tell me..."
**
My hands palm the door and I slowly slide down, and crumple into a heap. I'm a complete mess.
So torn...I love and hate what I am feeling at the same time.. He has found a place inside me that I didn't know existed.
A place... where my mind has no authority.
I feel like I am humiliating myself, by giving in to this...why? Why can't I just enjoy it?
I know why...because I am afraid that I will lose this game. I'm out of my league, and we both know it.
You slowly walk toward me, and I can feel you standing right above me. I slowly turn and look up at you.
With eyes that say, Mercy...please....?
**
Standing over you I look down.
"I'm withdrawing my offer of employment as my PA.. You've just proved you're not up to the job. You clearly can't handle yourself professionally.
You need a lot of training before you'll be ready for that role.
But, as a kindness, I have another opening for you. I'll consider employing you on a retainer as my slave. You will be well paid. You will be treated exactly as I see fit.
This little display obviously merits considerable punishment, which will be forthcoming.
