The following morning John awoke at about 8am and quickly went into the bathroom and showered. He was getting used to the luxury of Carrie's lifestyle; he had not often showered in a marbled cubicle which was actually big enough for about four other people as well. The fact that water seemed to spray at him from every direction was also fun, as well as practical and he laughed at the thought he had probably never been so clean in his whole life!
Once out of the shower he dried off and then, towel around his waist wandered back into the bedroom to find his Under Armour, clean and dry, waiting for him on the bed. Carrie called out from the hallway, "I thought we'd go for a run this morning. Don't bother with your running shorts. I'd like to see you in just the compression wear for once."
Instinctively John realised that Carrie knew he would not be able to hide his erection in the tight Lycra. He felt suddenly glad, he wanted to show her how much she turned him on and he also felt a deep desire to fulfil her wishes. He dressed carefully, checking the seams were exactly central over his arse, and then wandered into the sitting room.
Carrie was a sight to behold. She was wearing running tights with compression shorts over the top. Over these she wore a pair of two inch, wet look adidas running shorts. The idea of layers was another thing which turned John on. Seeing Carrie like this, her hair tightly in its customary pony tail and an adidas running bra on top, made him weak at the knees.
"Just drink a smoothie before we set off," Carrie said, pecking him on the cheek and allowing her hand to linger on his bottom for a few seconds, "we'll eat when we get back."
So they went downstairs and set off on the beautiful morning. Not running towards the town but further along the beach. John had never been this far along the coast and he enjoyed the spectacular scenery and the beautiful, clear blue sky and ocean. He also enjoyed the sight of Carrie's toned perfection running ahead of him. The thought of all those pretty layers made him harder than ever.
They ran for over a mile before Carrie brought them to a halt at a part of the beach where rocks jutted out into the sea for some distance. Taking John's hand, she led him onto the rocks and they clambered and scrambled together for about ten minutes before they finally reached the furthest point.
For a few minutes they stood admiring the waves as they lazily splashed over the rocks. The water was deepest blue, but also quite transparent. They could easily see the sandy bottom and fish swimming among the smaller rocks. John wished he could just dive in a swim, it looked so inviting.
Then Carrie turned to him and put her arms around his neck. She brushed her lips on his again before plunging her tongue between his teeth and kissing him deeply. The kiss lingered on and on, John feeling his penis throbbing and his heart rate climbing. One of her hands ran down his back, slowly, tracing his spine. She then ran her fingers around his backside, fingers again tracing, this time the divide between his buttocks.
Her long, elegant finger nails pressed in, to feel his anus, and John felt himself thrusting forwards, his cock pressed against her crotch. All the while she kissed him ever deeper. She was able to reach right into his throat with her tongue; it was as if she was taking possession of him.
At last she pulled away, still resting her crotch against his firm shaft. "I think I want to be more than friends," she whispered, "I want you to belong to me." John didn't miss the deeper meaning of what she was saying. His heart soared not only at the thought she wanted to be with him, but that she might be hinting at a power balance in their relationship which fitted with his dreams.
"I would like that," he replied somewhat breathlessly, "I would like to belong to you completely." He thought he would try to press her into more discussion of his dreams but instead Carrie pulled him in for another long, deep kiss. Her hand continued to explore his back and his arse.
She seemed to enjoy the smoothness of the Lycra and the feel of his body. It took John every ounce of control he had to avoid cumming at that moment. He knew he would have to become tougher if he was to be able to satisfy this amazing woman.
After kissing, she led him back to the beach and then they began the run back to the beach house. The whole run back was like a dream to John. He had to tell her his dream of submission today; he had to find out if she also really dreamed of dominance.
On arriving back in the house, Carrie and John both went to their rooms and showered. When he returned to his room he found only his brief running shorts to wear. His heart leapt again, he so wanted to be vulnerable, almost naked before her when he spoke about his wishes in their relationship.
He so longed for her to be fully aware of his erection, the symbol of his deepest desires for her. He pulled on the shorts and enjoyed the struggle to tighten the cord without trapping himself. He then went into the sitting room to meet Carrie, his heart pounding with a mixture of fear, longing and anticipation.
Carrie's appearance quite took him by surprise at first. She had put on a skin tight dress in an almost lime green. It plunged low to show off her ample cleavage and ended just beneath her backside. Her feet were wearing very high heeled shoes and she had a chunky gold chain around her neck. It was also clear that she was not wearing a bra, but the slightly translucent nature of the fabric revealed a matching green triangle string thong.
He had only ever seen her in lingerie, bikinis or sportswear so he was surprised, but a thrill ran through him as he realised how powerful she looked dressed like that. She handed him a plate of food and gestured towards the armchairs in the sitting room.
John sat down, careful to arrange his shorts as neatly as possible. Carrie watched this performance and smiled, she then sat down slowly, keeping her knees together. The short dress would not preserve her modesty otherwise. They ate quietly, each looking at the other from time to time until the small meal was over. Then Carrie leant forwards, her bosom prominent in John's view. "Tell me what you want in a relationship, John?" she asked.
John gulped, it was now or never. "You might think I am pathetic," he said quietly, already expecting the worst, "but I really do want to belong to you. I long to submit to a woman, submit in the bondage sense of the word. If we were together, I would want you to be in charge, for me to be your sub."
He stopped at this point, suddenly embarrassed at what he had told her and all too aware that she might not understand his feelings or even approve of them. He realised he was so into Carrie that he could easily have misunderstood the signals she had been giving him.
"If I have offended you with any of this, please forgive me," he murmured, "I would rather stay your friend than lose your trust."
