We hugged, then he stared into my eyes and gently closed a hand around my neck.
I gave him a small smile in return, letting him know I was okay with the touch without encouraging it too much. After all, I'm married to another man. He returned the smile before taking his leave.
Such a quick interaction, but it floated around my mind throughout the day. Until I listened to a fictional fight in a podcast where the main character was grabbed by the neck and slammed into a wall. My breath hitched unexpectedly, and I felt the muscles clench low in my abdomen.
I've never used choking in sex play before, but it appeals to the quasi-submissive side of myself. What if I could pursue this man? What would it be like to feel his hands caress my throat again, to give him my breath?
Maybe he'd use it to hold me down, to stop me from squirming or getting in his way.
I would lay sprawled on my back while he stands hunched over the side of the bed. His arm is extended over me, his left hand wrapped around my neck firmly but without squeezing, just tight enough to keep my head still.
My breath is quick and shudders under the gentle touch of his right hand fingers, dancing lightly across my skin, thrumming patterns along the sensitive areas on my collarbone, under my breasts, down my sides. His touch grows firmer as it travels lower, until he's rubbing circles over my thighs.
A small noise escapes me, and I shift my hips. His eyes immediately snap to mine as his petting stops. His fingers flex around my neck enough to sting, and I'm suddenly aware of my breath, how the air comes in the tiniest bit slower than usual. My core heats in anticipation. He murmurs his disapproval softly, the same tone he uses outside the bedroom. I expected him to adopt a domineering persona to go along with our power play, but the juxtaposition of his strong actions and soft voice only heightens my desire.
