Spring 2012, part 2
After Amie and I left the shop on Friday, she suggested that we go sit down so that I could decompress. I was still dazed and she understood that state of mind very well from her own history, so she directed me to a little tropical juice shop where I had a cool lime drink made of margarita mix with no alcohol. (Virgin, but still tasty. How appropriate!) I told her parts of what had happened but not everything. I can't recall exactly what I said. I was still buzzing.
After our drinks, we stopped off as planned at a casual nightwear shop, La Vie en Rose, to get lighter pajamas, since the nights in her place were so warm that I was finding what I'd brought with me too hot. I tried on and purchased a low-cut, strappy sky-blue nightdress with a pattern of white daisies, while she got a turquoise check-print tank top and boy shorts set. I'll admit, we spent longer than we meant to looking around. We were supposed to meet my sister Cara at the train station around 6:15, but somehow the next time Amie checked her phone it was 6:25, and Cara had already texted twice saying she'd arrived. We'd have to make a mad dash for the nearest metro station.
At this point, I was beginning to get anxious. I was supposed to text the corset-maker at 7:00, but my phone had less than 5% charge left. I meant to go back to Amie's place, change out of my soaked panties, and charge my phone, but now there was no time. Also, I had to use the washroom very badly all of a sudden. Amie reassured me that everything would be alright as we waited for the train, and I restrained the tears that sprang to my eyes in my still-emotional state. The train ride seemed to take forever.
When we got to the station at around 6:50, I spotted Cara right away and gave her a big hug in greeting. Then I said I needed to go to the washroom. She also needed to go, so we went directly to the metro station washrooms. I pulled down my sticky panties and relieved myself. Then, still sitting on the toilet, I fished my phone out of my purse and texted the corset-maker, telling him that he made me feel "AMAZING" and thanking him for the experience. I said we were on for Sunday. To my infinite comfort, I got the message sent at 6:56 and I had a reply within seconds confirming it.
Giddy with relief, I was able to enjoy the evening with my sister and my best friend. We went out for dinner and took Cara on a scenic walk home (if a "dรฉpanneur" carrying dozens of kinds of craft beer counts as scenery). Back at Amie's place, we had some drinks and talked until I got so drowsy that I had to call it a night. Cara and Amie stayed up talking some more out on the balcony. Even with earplugs in I could hear their voices carrying, so I couldn't fall asleep easily and didn't sleep that well throughout the night. Fragments of my erotic experience swirled in my brain, restless and stirring.
The next day was Saturday, and first thing in the morning I had a message from the corset-maker asking if I'd had dreams about him. I replied that I did have sexy dreams and was a little wet. When he asked for a picture of my pussy, though, I had to demur and say photos were off-limits. He accepted my decision and let me go for my morning shower. Before getting in I asked if I could play with myself in the shower, and he replied that I could tease but not cum. I stepped into the shower feeling excited and delightfully naughty. I opened my labia with my fingers and even through the shower's flow I could feel my own hot, thick juices. I ran the nubbly-textured handle of my razor between my slippery lips until I was gasping with desire, then stopped myself just in time. It was a quicker tease than I would've liked because I couldn't spend too long in the shower without seeming suspicious, but I couldn't deny my body's reaction.
As the day went on, however, my excitement began to be tinged with nerves. Just as we were heading out the door, I got another message from the corset-maker asking me what time I could come to the shop on Sunday. I held up my phone to Amie so she could read it, and she silently mouthed "two" and held up two fingers. The decision was so sudden that I felt pressured. I almost texted him "I don't know now, I'll let you know tomorrow," but Amie was nodding and making little gestures to assure me that 2:00 would work, so I sent him that time. I got a message back immediately saying that 2:00 was good, and I was to come to the shop in a dress with no panties underneath. At that moment, two things happened: my sex flushed wide and hot in excitement, and my stomach twisted with nerves. I knew I was in for a bigger scene than anything we'd done yet and I didn't know what was coming. I spent most of Saturday waffling between aching desire and anxious rumination. Still, I tried to put it all aside and enjoy the rest of the day with my best friend and my sister.
The next morning, we saw Cara off at the bus station around 11:30 am, then went back to Amie's place for a light lunch and a change of clothes. I managed to get down a strawberry and spinach salad despite my nerves. I changed into the only other dress I had with me, a flowy, colourful number with an asymmetrical high-low skirt. I tried to spice it up by accessorizing with red leather open-toed heels and a red leather bow belt from Japan. It still didn't exactly scream BDSM, but it was either that or the same dress I'd already worn, and I didn't want to show up in the same clothes twice.
As we walked to the subway, my nerves miraculously began to calm, and a joyful anticipation rose in me. Now that I'd committed to go, I felt eager and curious. In a moment of clarity, I exclaimed, "I'm excited!" And I meant excited in both senses of the word. My lack of panties in public really contributed to the experience. Running down the stairs to catch the metro, my thighs chafed my clit and almost made me moan aloud. I felt humiliatingly aroused, but oddly sexy and confident. Being without a bra somehow felt more natural and comfortable to me than wearing one. Maybe I should go out braless more often!
Amie came with me to the door, but she didn't go into the shop this time. Instead she went to run a few errands of her own, with the agreement that I'd text her when I was done in about an hour. As we approached the door at five to two, she said to me,
"Ok Robin, now I'm going to let you fly. Time to go solo!"
"I can do it!" I replied. And in I went.
The corset-maker was once again working at the front, and greeted me warmly when I came in. He showed me to the back, but had to run out front again quickly with a stock number for a leather hood. A few times that afternoon he glanced out into the shop front, checking to make sure everything was ok and no one was coming into the back. It was a bit annoying to have his attention off of me, but at the same time, I felt like he was keeping watch for us, making sure we wouldn't be seen, which was comforting and made me feel protected.
When he returned, he first of all gave me a hug and a kiss on the cheek, and asked me how I was doingโa very warm, personable greeting. I admitted that I was both excited and nervous. I also took this moment of preparation to tell him my safeword, the old standard "red-yellow-green" system. He nodded and assured me that people very rarely have to use their safewords with him.
"No need to be nervous," he said. "You're in good hands."
To begin the session, he put my leather collar and cuffs on, linking the wrist cuffs together in front of me with hooks. He squeezed my throat in his hands again, letting me feel his power over me. He also dug his fingers into the hair at my temples, pulling my head back by the roots firmly, but not too sharply. He felt my body through my thin dress approvingly. All these little gestures marked his control over me and my vulnerability to him. It turned me on a great deal.
The first thing he suggested we try out that session was nipple clamps. He had several pairs with black rubber tips that could be easily removed and washed or replaced. I liked the look of the blunt-nosed clamps, but he suggested that I also try tweezer clamps, which he said are easier on beginners and stay on better too. He demonstrated by drawing my left breast from my dress and fondling my nipple to hardness, then putting a blunt-nosed clamp on it. With a brisk tug he yanked it off, a sensation sharp enough to make me whimper and squirm with pleasure. Next, for comparison, he put a tweezer clamp on the same breast. It didn't hurt so much, and in fact it came off when tugged just lightly, so that he had to adjust it a bit. Once he did, however, the clamp held firmly, with a slight pressure on my nipple, and didn't come off. He pulled my right breast out of my dress so that he could arouse and clamp my budding nipple. A chain linked the two clamps together so that he could pull and guide me by my breasts. After preparing me in this way, he smoothed my clamped breasts back down under the front of my dress, so that they wouldn't be visible "in public," he said. I thought about telling him he could clamp them on harder, but decided against it because I didn't know where in "public" he would make me go with them or how long I would have to keep them on. Besides, it felt pretty good when he tugged on the chain. So I obediently accepted it and put my confidence in him.
Once I was clamped, he asked me to raise my skirt so that he could check if I was naked below as he'd ordered. Trembling slightly, I raised my leg and placed my foot on his thigh as I had the day before, this time pulling my skirt up to my hips. His eyes gleamed approvingly at what he saw there, so I peeked too and saw the glistening strands of my pleasure laced between my thighs, stretching nearly a quarter of the way down.
"You're leaking," he chided me. I blushed and stammered to be seen so visibly aroused. He seemed to like that a lot.
Next, as if recapping a lesson, he put the hood on me again and flogged me, this time with a cat o' nine tails, which created different lapping sensations depending on whether the tip or full ends of each braided cord were being used. As he did it, he told me that the next time I come to Montreal, I should get a hotel room for a couple of days and we could really play, more than we could in the shop.
"Ok," I whispered.
"What?" he said
"Ok!" I affirmed louder. I wondered if I should've said "yes, Sir" or even "yes, Master" but he hadn't told me to address him by any particular title and he didn't push me, not that way. Instead, he got me good and warmed up by flogging me until I was practically dripping, then told me "No," no orgasm, and pulled me back from the edge.
