Learning To Fly
Such a wonderful treat, Daddy, to be out with you, to relax and have some time where we can relax together. To laugh and be silly and have some fun.
To dance, swaying slowly together, your hand tenderly curled in the small of my back and my cheek resting on your chest.
To feel the promise of later pleasures pressed against my belly. I sigh.
Exiting the club, I am surprised when we don't go to the parking lot. Disappointed even -- still, I feel a certain energy radiating from you and my hand tightens on yours. You have something on your mind, but I must be patient. Always a challenge.
"Daddy?" I whisper, leaning close. Not necessary, the street is deserted. I just love to be near you, I'll take any excuse to touch you, be closer to you, to press myself against you and feel your strength. You're silent, but still, I press.
"Where are we going, Daddy?"
Your chuckle is deep and mysterious, knowing I'd ask, knowing how your answer would drive my anticipation even higher.
"Someplace special." I search your eyes for a clue. As usual, you're impassive save for a small smile. One block, two, three, and you steer me into the deeps of a deserted alley.
What?
My jaw drops slightly, you've anticipated my reaction.
"Hush girl, trust me."
Yes, Daddy, I do.
"But..." There may be crazies. It's so dark. I can't see well in the dark. It's dangerous.
"Hush." Deeper, a reminder of the trust I have put in you. Steeling myself against a rising sense of apprehension, I tighten my grip on your hand, taking comfort in our warmth. Still, my body reacts -- I feel my palm dampen at the sudden flush of adrenaline.
It's spooky in here, as if conspiring to add to my uneasiness. Strange smells assail me from the overflowing dumpsters lining our path. Papers skitter in an illogical breeze, clattering on my nerves. A flash of eyeshine reveals the path of a stray, his glance seemingly malevolent; or is it fright that makes him flee across our path?
Ever solicitous of my needs, you stop, circling your arm around my waist and drawing me in for a kiss. I'm sure this is meant to assure, but I tremble as I return your caress. I feel -- distracted, nerves sending sparks throughout my body.
Releasing me, we go a few more steps and stop at a door; large, dark, forbidding steel. A keypad code grants entry. The hinges squeal in protest, sounding like metal screams. Is this all calculated to be as nerve wracking as it seems? Or is it real? You guide me forward, but uncharacteristically I resist, my tortured nerves needing reassurance.
"James? I'm scared. What is this?" I know I'm risking a swat; I have no reason to fear. But my heart drums on my ribcage nonetheless.
"Trust me girl. Always trust, remember?"
I know, I know!
"Yes but..." My senses spin fantasies of the unknown, fed by the foreboding sound of a door unused, unknown by the light.
Your lips touch my ear and your presence envelops me. "I'd never do anything that hurt you girl, not ever. Inside now, no more foolishness."
Again, your command, soft in a whisper, but inviolate. I know better than this. For a moment I'm sad and enter, feeling shamed. Then, the squeal of the rusty hinges energizes me again and I jump, this time in excitement, allowing myself to enjoy the experience you're obviously arranged for me. I surrender to you, allowing you to guide my senses, what I see, what I feel --
I am yours, Daddy; thank you for never letting me forget that.
Black, black, black, sensory deprivation. My heartbeat doubles its pace, and then triples as you slip the blindfold over my eyes. My senses are sharpened and I start at a sharp click, wondering what's in store.
Already I am straining, wondering, needing to know what happens next.
My voice is a whisper, pleading. "Please, Daddy."
You're silent as you lead me. Six steps, then down a hall, our footsteps echoing hollowly, another sensation. You stop me and another squeal of screaming metal slashes at my self-control.
Oh, yes, Daddy, I trust you
-- but I think you want this, for my nerves to sing. Through the door, you stop me, and as you turn from me to lock the door, I feel the loss of your presence keenly, even though you're only a step away. But then you're back, your heat, your scent, your breath in my ear.
