HeartBound
Chapter 3: Anxiety
My hands were cuffed together and a chain linked those cuffs to a steel loop in the ceiling. I struggled against the cuffs but it was useless.
"Stop struggling
slut
"
The whip hit my back and my whole body jolted. I looked down, I was nude. The Domme circled me, she was beautiful and powerful. Her short black skirt, swishing lightly with her every step. She grazed my pussy with her fingertips and I felt myself yearning for more.
"Do you want your reward slut?"
"Yes Mistress."
She walked around behind me, but I could feel her fingers tracing the lines of my back, down to my ass. I pushed my ass towards her fingers and as she circled me, and I saw that her skirt was gone, she was wearing a strap-on.
"Do you want your reward slut?"
I was dimly aware of Panic at the Disco's '
Emperor's New Clothes
' playing in the background.
I looked at her eyes, suddenly unsure...
"I don't... I don't know?"
She grabbed my hair and pulled my face to hers.
The song was getting louder, but I couldn't find the source.
"Do you
want
your reward
slut
?"
I looked down, it wasn't a strap-on at all, it was a large fleshy cock.
"Wait... no..." I struggled to think of my safe-word, I didn't like this, this isn't what I wanted. I couldn't remember the word. I was staring at the dick as she pressed it towards me. I tried to search my brain and it came up empty, I looked at her.
"No..."
"No isn't a safe-word
slut
, You're going to be late for class."
"What?" I asked.
"I
said
, get up, or you're going to be late for class."
I blinked and wiped my eyes and my fingers came up with black smudges... I forgot to remove my makeup last night before bed.
"What time is it?" I asked.
"Eight-thirty, you've got time to get dressed, but that's about it."
Claire silenced the alarm playing '
Emperor's New Clothes'
on her phone.
"
UUUUuuuuggg
." Was all I could muster as I kicked off my sheets. I felt wet... and not in a good way, experimentally I put my fingertips down to my panties... Wet panties. I groaned again.
"Good dream?"
"Must've been. It's all fuzzy now... I don't know." This was fairly true, the details were fading, something about being chained, and not being able to remember my safe-word.
I grabbed fresh panties and retreated to the bathroom, a cursory glance at Claire and I could tell she had just woken up too.
"Wait, why is the alarm set so damn late?" I asked shuffling past her where she was standing in front of the vanity
"Oh I'm sorry
princess
, I thought you needed your beauty sleep." she replied sarcastically.
"You hit snooze didn't you?" I said.
"
Yuuuuuuuuuuup
." she she said, as an impressive impression of Lana from Archer.
Finished in the bathroom, I shuffled back past Claire. I brushed my hair and washed my face. I got dressed, a bra, V-neck, and pants. I sat on my bed, grabbed my laptop and quickly attached my Bio homework to an e-mail and fired it off to Professor Laughen.
"Ready?" Claire asked.
I nodded. We left together and walked in sleepy silence to Bio class.
Class was difficult to focus on, I kept trying to remember the dream. I woke up a little wet, but also really uncomfortable.
Fuck
. I was yearning for this. This new experience, but deep down I was scared of it. Scared of myself. How could I ever
trust
someone enough to let them... do whatever they wanted to me? I mean. If I was tied up, or chained, how could I
stop
them? What if I forgot my safeword. What if they
ignored
it.
These thoughts and others invaded my thoughts throughout class. I tried to maintain focus, and I caught that the lecture was about the cardiovascular system and how fluctuations in blood pressure actively work to achieve homeostasis.
Before I knew it everyone was packing up and Claire was asking if I wanted to go get coffee. I had another class at 1, but hers wasn't until 2 so Wednesdays we typically got coffee and hung out in the dorm doing the bio homework.
I nodded and we walked to the Starbucks off campus. It was a cool spring morning, a perfectly enjoyable walk. I confessed I hadn't been able to concentrate in class and asked if we could talk back at the dorm room, this was apparently the wrong thing to do.
"About what?" Claire asked.
"
Stuff
."
"What
stuff
?"
"The ummm...
video
stuff." I looked at her with raised eyebrows, hoping she was getting my drift.
"Oh that. Sure. What about it?"
I looked around, other students were crossing the campus green, and I was nervous about being overheard. "Time and place Claire, Jesus."
"Oh it's
fine
. Just... be discreet or whatever, talk in code."
"Codes only work because they are pre-established. So I don't see how that's gonna work."
"Oh fine. We'll work on a code later. If you
do
want to talk about being
tied down
I want to help you."
"
Oh,
Did someone say,
tied down
?" It was Josh, he was a few feet behind us jogging up.
"Goddammit Claire." I turned to Josh, "You really are stalking me aren't you?"
"She doesn't know if she wants to be tied down into a relationship during college..."
nice save
, "... and who are you
seΓ±or stalker
?"
He extended a hand, "I'm Josh. I was going to see if y'all wanted coffee after Bio but I got distracted hitting on the TA, so I had to catch up."
Claire smirked, "Is the TA gay?"
Josh shrugged, "Only one way to find out, and now I'm thinking no..."
Claire and I laughed.
"Shoot your shot I guess." I offered.
"I did. I missed." He shrugged, "plenty more big-dicked fish in the sea."
He had this natural confidence and charisma, and I got the sense that he won Claire over in that moment.
"What are you, a size queen?" Claire asked.
"Size no, queen,
yaaaaaaaas
