It was dark in my apartment when the curtains were closed and he returned to the bedroom where I was seated on the bed. Reaching into his bag, he began rooting around while humming a soft tune. My skin began to tingle. What the heck was I thinking? What was that feeling in my stomach? He set a few things on the dresser and turned his attention to me. His eyes traced over me and I felt like he could see right through me. He held out his hands to me and I placed my hands in his open palms. They closed over mine.
"I know you have been fantasizing, Jewel," his voice was a deep whisper.
How much had I told him? I couldn't even think. My mind raced through our conversations.
We had so many and shared so much. I trusted him, but suddenly everything was staring me in the face, and I was intensely nervous.
"If you're ready, we can begin making the fantasies real for you today."
I couldn't speak so I nodded. He kissed my forehead and smiled at me, taking my shoulders and moving me so he could be seated on the bed and I was standing before him. My hands were going numb with cold. My mind was racing. Was this really what I wanted? What if I hated it? What if it hurt? What if I laughed? What if I cried? What if I loved it?
He interrupted my thoughts with his voice. In his hands was a collar made of thin black leather with rhinestones all around it. He held it to my lips and kissed my lips as he did so. His eyes met mine and he spoke "Jewel, this is a symbol of your submission to me..."
He continued to speak and my mind wandered off. I could hear the words he was saying to me, yet my mind was running wild. Here I am naked in front of this man who knows more about me than any other partner I have had, and he is about to put a collar around my neck. (I nearly giggled but suppressed it). It's almost funny, almost, just weird. Is this
really happening? What if I was wrong about everything? What will he do to me? Will I forget the safeword?
He had stopped speaking and stared into my eyes. I shuddered under his stare. I could suddenly feel everything. My skin was tingling. The air conditioning in the room was so cool that my skin felt clammy. My hands felt as though they were blowing up. I wasn't sure if my mouth would make words. He asked me if I understood and I heard myself say "Yes"
He wrapped the collar around my neck and looked at me. His hand caressed my cheek and sent tingles all through me. What is this? Is this really me? What is that feeling in my stomach?
"My Jewel," He whispered and looked into my eyes.
He picked up a piece of the soft nylon rope I had been playing with when he had first unpacked the toybag. Could he see I was shaking now?
"I am going to tie you to the chair, Jewel, and give you the spanking you have been so long awaiting. You remember the safeword?"
