Kneeling Before Peter
The silence was excruciating. For the longest time Peter didn't say anything. He just stood there while I knelt before him. I kept my head bowed, my eyes on his feet. I wanted him to say something, anything, just to hear his voice. But he didn't say a word. I wanted to know what he thought, what he felt. What did he think, seeing me kneeling like this before him with my head bowed so submissively?
As the silence lingered I arched my back a little, willing my modest breasts to swell out a bit more. I knew Peter must have a perfect view of me like this. Without lifting my head I let my gaze drift upward. A smile tugged at my lips. The bulge in the front of his pants was unmistakable.
"I said eyes down, Catherine. I'm not going to tell you again."
I jerked my gaze back down to Peter's shoes, startled by his stern tone. A flush rose in my cheeks. God, I'd never heard that tone before, never heard him speak to me so firmly. He'd never before scolded me like that. And never would I have guessed that should he speak to me like this, like he did now, that I would feel such a strange surge of excitement.
Peter moved away for a moment. The second his back was to me I couldn't help but look cautiously up again. Even from behind he looked so strong and handsome, so sexual. I felt a surge of lust for him, and another as I wondered what he might do with me now that I knelt here for him. It was such a delicious thing to contemplate that I wasn't prepared when he suddenly turned back to me. Our eyes met and in his I saw something that sent a charge racing through me. He'd caught me looking up again. Blushing deeply -- and feeling inside like I'd failed -- I glanced back down to my hands. Such a simple thing, and already I was showing how truly unprepared I was for this.
Peter was quiet for a moment. "Was I not clear before, Catherine?"
"No, you were," I said softly. Inside I was kicking myself. Why couldn't I have just obeyed?
"What did I tell you before?"
"Not to look up."
"What else?"
I was quiet for a moment. "That you wouldn't tell me again."
"And now you've made me."
I couldn't read Peter's voice. Was he disappointed with me? Amused? He sounded so stern, and yet so strangely like he enjoyed my failure to obey this simplest of admonitions. It was almost as if he was amused by how obviously unprepared I was. I waited breathlessly for him to say something more, to scold me further, but instead he moved away. He turned and without a word disappeared into our bedroom. I stared down at my hands, wanting desperately to look up but reminding myself over and over again not to. What on earth was he doing? A moment later he was back. I remained staring down at my hands, but when he went to the couch and set something down on the side table, his back momentarily to me, I couldn't help but steal a quick peek. He'd set there on the side table a small bottle of hand lotion from the bathroom and the champagne bucket and glasses from the bedroom, and in his hands he held a white satin pillowcase.
This time I was quick to look back down before he turned back to me. He sat down on the couch and spoke to me firmly.
"Come over here, Catherine."
It was such a simple request, and yet it sent such a surge of excitement coursing through me. In my mind I envisioned all sorts of things he might do to me there on the couch, not least of which would be to pull me over his knees and bare my bottom and do to me exactly what I'd asked of him. Tingling with the illicit possibilities, I rose and took a step forward.
"No Catherine, on your knees. Crawl to me."
I froze. Crawl!? I was so startled by Peter's command that I forgot myself and looked up at him. Did he really just tell me to crawl?
A smile tugged at the corners of Peter's mouth. "What did I tell you about looking up, Catherine?"
My heart sank. So simple a request, and yet I couldn't seem to obey. I looked back down to the floor, doubt filling me. Had I made a mistake in offering myself to Peter like this tonight? After all, I couldn't even keep my eyes down like he asked. How was I possibly going to let him do everything I'd asked for when I couldn't even do this simple thing for him?
"You heard me Catherine. Crawl."
I felt flushed with heady arousal as I went to my knees. I'd not crawled in years, not even been on my hands and knees on the floor but for an occasional moment while cleaning around the house. I moved cautiously forward. To crawl now like this, to Peter with my eyes obediently down, made me tremble with excitement. How must I look to him, his lovely young bride in my pristine white lingerie, crawling to him on hands and knees? I knew he must have a perfect view of my breasts and I arched my back gently, willing myself to present more fully to him, hoping he liked what he saw. The few feet between us seemed to take an exquisite eternity to crawl across. I willed myself to go slowly, which was a terribly difficult undertaking for I wanted more than anything to scamper over and kneel at Peter's feet. But that wouldn't do. Not at all.
And so I crawled.
"So obedient," Peter chuckled. When I was but a couple feet from him he stopped me. I hesitated, almost forgetting myself again and looking up. Without a word he rose and stood towering over me. He touched my hair gently, and my cheek, and then as I knelt there before him, my eyes on the floor, he began to circle me slowly. Once, twice, and soon a slow third time. I stared down at his feet when he was in front of me, and held my breath when he was behind. He spoke not a word. What was he thinking? Why didn't he say something? I wanted desperately to know what was on his mind. I wanted more than anything to look up, to see what was in his eyes. This wasn't fair. How could he expect me to keep my head bowed, to keep my eyes down? It was only natural that I should want to look up into his. But then, perhaps that's why he wanted otherwise. Perhaps this was but a test.
On his third circle around me Peter slowed, and then suddenly he knelt down behind me, his lips so close to my ear that I could feel the tickle of his breath.
"I wonder, Catherine," he murmured, "if you really know what you've gotten yourself into. If you have any idea what you've begun."
His words sent a stab of excitement coursing through me. I was still tingling when suddenly he drew my arms behind me. Cold hard steel encircled my wrists, tightening with soft clicks. The cuffs! I'd not even realized he had picked them up. As I tugged gently at my new bonds, my heart racing, he touched my shoulders, my arms, and then suddenly he was reaching around and cupping my naked breasts from behind. It seemed a stolen, delightfully illicit caress, coming as it did while I was so suddenly helpless to defend myself. One of his hands drifted lower, between my legs, and I trembled as he nudged aside the delicate 'V' front of my thong panties and felt with his fingers. He chuckled softly, as if amused by what he found there.
"You're excited by this, aren't you Catherine? You really do want this, to be on your knees and helpless before me. To have me use you as I like." He nibbled my earlobe, his voice husky. "To be defenseless to my whims."
I couldn't answer, couldn't even nod. I felt breathless and wetter than ever before.
It was the cold steel encircling my wrists, and the insinuation in Peter's words. I was completely and helplessly at his mercy, and for that I trembled. This was ten times more delicious than I'd ever imagined. A hundred times, even. I was so excited, and Peter's gently stroking fingers so delicious, that when he drew his hand away I groaned in frustration.
