On her knees, she waited. Goosebumps covered her skinâŠfrom arousal or from cold he couldnât tell. Her nipples stood erect and her sex was shaven smooth, the lips puffy; suckable. She was dressed only in a black leather corset that left her breasts bare and thrust out, more so with her arms clasped behind her back. Her head was straight ahead and her eyes were lowered. She simply oozed submissionâŠand her submission simply oozed eroticism.
He walked around her slowly, his fingertips just brushing the naked flesh of her shoulders, teasingâŠtesting the softness. She was pale, no longer used to sunbathing as she had in her youth, but it suited him. Her body was lush, overly soâŠwomanly in shape from centuries past.
He growled low in his throat at the effect she never failed to have on him.
His hand slipped under her hair and wrapped the strands around his fist, tugging her head up and back. Her eyes remained lowered. He smiled, a wicked, yet adoring smile. âLook at me.â
Her eyes lifted to his face. The green depths, glittered with gold, mirrored his need. His need to dominate and her need to submit; his need to master and her need to surrender; his need to take and her need to give. There were other needs between them, too. Deep needs that had been spoken once, in the beginning. Deep needs that were fulfilled without question, without comment, without the slightest hesitation.
His pride in her knew no limit. She was simplyâŠeverything.
ââTis a surprise I have in store for you tonight, girl. Do you trust me?â He knew the answer. He needed to hear it.
âYes, master.â
âGood. Come.â
He tugged her by a gentle yet firm pressure on her hair until she was on all fours, and then tugged again until she started crawling beside him. Her humiliation was evident by the blush against her skin, but he could also imagine the glint in her eyes, the surrender, the happy submission.
Down the hall and into the family roomâŠto the billiards table he led her.
He glanced down to see her staring up at him, questions floating in her beautiful eyes. âUp on the table, pet. Kneel in the center, thighs wide.â Without hesitation, she moved to do as he bid her. He noticed her small sigh of relief when she realized there was a cushioned pad fitted to the tabletop. With care, she stood, her legs tight with twinges of cramps from kneeling for so long and lifted one leg up and crawled into the middle as heâd said. The red satin of the pad contrasted beautifully with her alabaster skin and matched the red polish on her toes and fingernails. His favoriteâŠwhore red.
âHands in front, wrists crossed.â It was done immediately. He edged a hip on the side of the table, leaning across to wrap and tie a strip of leather around her forearms and wrists. âToo tight?â
âNo, master.â
âGood girl. Iâll give you the choice of wearing a blindfold or not.â
âYes, master. Blindfold, please.â
He smiled. âGood girl.â He pulled another, wider strip of leather from his pocket and carefully wrapped and tied it around her head, blinding her in darkness. âSo beautiful like this,â he murmured, petting her hair softly. He took her by her bound wrists and stretched her forward until she was resting on her forearms, her hands touching the polished wooden edge of the table. âYou are to stay on your knees, your thighs wide, your sweet ass up.â
âYes, master.â
He heard a bit of uncertainty, a bit of fear in her voice. That would soon change.
âYour titsâŠheld up by the boning and yet, just dangling there⊠so tempting.â He flicked a nipple with his fingernail and licked her neck when she moaned. The final piece of adornment slid around her neckâŠa collar, special for this occasion. She purred when he locked it in place and gasped when he slid the first clamp onto her nipple. âThe clamps, my love, are attached to the collar by a chain, in the center of which is a ring to attach a leash.â He spoke softly to her while attaching the other clamp to her other nipple. He tightened them just enough to see her wince in discomfort. He didnât want her pain to overwhelm the pleasures in store for her.
He walked around to the front of her and simply looked at her. It had taken a lot of time and patience, a lot of internal struggling for her to accept herself and to accept him. She was slave and he was master. She was his for whatever he wished. She was his slut, his whore, his bitch. She was his love, his heart, his very soul. She never ceased to strive for the best in herself for that made her the best for him.
She relished his pride and his pleasure and she suffered his pain and humiliation. He forced her limits, pushed her past some of them, and adored her more with each milestone in her growth. She was his woman and tonight, at long last, he would show her off and share her with his less than fortunate friends. The thought made him grin like a kid at Christmas with the best present of all the kids in the neighborhood.
He leaned forward and licked her lips with his tongue. âHowâs my cunt, baby?â
âWet, master.â
âGood, good. Before long I expect it will be so juicy that it will run down your legs and the satin beneath you will be stained.â
âMaster?â she said with trepidation.
âHmmm?â He knew what she was going to ask.
âWhat is going to happen tonight?â
The doorbell rang.
âYouâre about to find out, toy. Now, not a word, not a sound until I return.â
For moments there was silence and thenâŠvoices, a number of voices. She couldnât tell how many, couldnât distinguish anything but that there were men and women. She heard glass clinking together and knew someone was pouring drinks. There was laughter and there was murmuring and then they were coming closer, until right outside the door, they stopped. She could hear the hushed voice of her master.
Anxiety began to flow through her veins and heart threatened to pound right out of her chest.
The door opened.
Her mouth went dry.
