Time
"Good morning pet," he whispered when he saw her open her eyes. She looked up at him in surprise. He crouched down by the bed and looked at her closely, admiring her face and then reached across her to push back her fringe. "I think it's time."
"Time for what, sir?"
"Yes, I do believe that it is quite definitely time;" that said, he pulled the coverlets down, before leaning over her and resting his head on her chest for a short while.
While he did so, she lay there, breathing in and out, still drowsy from sleep, but gradually becoming more focussed. She didn't seek any further clarification but decided to stare up at the ceiling, waiting for him to express himself more clearly through his actions, through his words or through both. "I hope you are ready, pet."
"Ready for what, sir?"
"Are you ready to be kissed?"
"I am always ready to be kissed, sir."
"Now?"
"Yes, I'm ready now sir!"
"Don't get over excited pet."
"Try not to tease me so."
"You love it."
"I do sir."
"I thought so."
"And you are always right, sir."
"The world according to 'he who is never wrong' is to your taste then?" He said wryly and she reached down to run her hand through his hair.
"Yes sir."
He didn't respond, but pulled away from her and returned to his previous crouching position, looking down upon her once more. When he smiled again she reached up to hug him.
"You are a sweetheart, pet," he murmured affectionately, wrapping his arms around her and holding her there. She pressed her cheek against his neck. She could feel his breath tickling her ear.
They stayed like that for a few minutes until he whispered: "pet, I intend to whip you hard today; very hard indeed."
She swallowed nervously before she replied. "I won't mind that."
"I will leave marks across your bosom," he warned, holding her up with one hand supporting her back and the other tracing imaginary lines across her breasts.
"I like to look at the marks you leave in the mirror, sir. They are like souvenirs of a session with you."
"Even so, I will make you cry."
"I like it when you wipe away the tears, sir."
"The taste of your tears is my souvenir."
"Yes."
"It's time: kiss me, pet."
"Yes sir," she smiled and turned her head towards him, feeling his hand moving up to the back of her neck as he leant towards her to press his lips against hers. She kissed him back, parting her lips, and feeling delighted when he slid his tongue into her half-open mouth.
Her whole body felt warm and tingly. She didn't want the kiss to end, but she also wanted the whipping to begin. Such are the quandaries a well-trained pet must face in pleasing her master.
As they kissed, he pushed his hand under the coverlet and ran it up and down her side. She was quite absorbed in the kiss, but still felt an alien chill of his hand as it slid over her belly and pushed her t-shirt up.
His fingers slid over her breastbone and wrapped around her right breast. She shivered as she felt his cool hand touching her warm flesh, squeezing her breast and then pinching the nipple.
She moaned now and kissed him harder. His hand was warming to its task as he continued to rub and squeeze her breasts, moving from one peak to the other as he held her up off the bed.
She loved lying there, feeling him making free use of her body; with her thoughts lost in a delicious languor, wondering whether the pleasure of the now or the promised pain of the future would be better.
Focussing on the feeling of his tongue flicking in and out of her mouth made her wet. Concentrating on the sharp sensation of a pinched nipple made her even wetter.
He let his hand slip down to her leg then and resumed caressing and squeezing and teasing her flesh, holding back from her sex. Knowing that was just what she wanted, he let his fingers drift up and down her inner thigh, never letting them quite reach the destination she sought.
