Be sure to read the other side of the story by Claire
The music dims as we walk from the club out onto the sidewalk. We can still hear the muted sounds of the utility band that played old rock, country and blues from the seventies and eighties. Your hand tightens on mine as instead of crossing the street to the parking lot, I lead you south down the sidewalk.
Leaning close, you whisper, "Daddy?"
The sidewalk is deserted for the most part and I'm not so cautious about speaking. "Yes girl?"
"Where are we going Daddy?"
I chuckle for I knew you'd ask. "Someplace special."
You look up at me a moment, probably trying to guess where I'd be taking you so late. It's after midnight and usually, we'd be on our way home by now. About three blocks down I turn us into an alley and now, you get nervous. I don't blame you one bit. If I didn't know where I was, I'd be nervous about walking into this dark alley too.
You open your mouth to say something and I am ready. "Hush girl. Trust me."
"But..."
"Hush I said," and you close your mouth as your hand tightens firmly on mine.
I feel your palm suddenly become sweaty. The alley is dark, forbidding, and there are overfilled trash cans, dumpsters and litter is everywhere. A stray dog skitters out of our way, giving us sidelong glances. I walk briskly down the alley, leading you and about halfway in I stop and kiss you. You kiss me back but your nervousness is evident. With my arm around your waist, I feel you shiver.
A few more steps and the door in front of us is dark steel. I push the buttons on the keyless entry pad and hear a click. A pull on the handle and with a groan the door opens, the hinges giving a tortured, grating squeak. Inside it is darker than the alley. With my arm around your waist, I guide you through the door and now finally, you do resist, stopping in the entry.
"James I'm scared. What is this?"
"Trust me girl. Always trust, remember?"
"Yes but..."
I lean close and whisper, "I'd never do anything that hurt you girl, not ever. Inside now, no more foolishness."
Even in the dark I see your shoulders slump and you step through the door. I follow and pull the door shut behind me, the hinges groaning until the door slams shut. You jump at the sound and it is utter darkness now. I can hear your breathing increase and I'm sure, were I to feel your pulse, it would be racing as well. From my pocket I take the cloth and bind it around your head. A blindfold. You hear a click and wonder what it was.
You whisper, "Please Daddy..."
I knew you'd be nervous and there's nothing I can do for it really. You'll just have to trust in me this time.
I carefully guide you up six steps and through another door. Down a hallway that echoes our footsteps and then we stop. I am wondering what you are thinking. I'll ask later. Another door, this one with hinges even more ancient than the outside door. We go through that door and I stop you inside. I lock the door and go back to you.
"Listen carefully girl."
"Yes Daddy."
"We are in a room. I have locked the door and bolted it. No one can get in and we are entirely alone. Furthermore, the entire building is empty and locked. You saw me use the keypad. Understand?"
Your voice is quiet and small. "No not really."
Of course you don't understand. But I'll try again.
"I mean that we are alone and safe."
"OK if you say so."
I chuckle at that. "Yes girl, I say so."
I start with the buttons on your blouse and you nearly gasp.
"What do you smell little girl?" I ask, mostly to distract you.
You inhale through your nose, probably the first breath you've taken through your nose since we entered the building. "I smell salt and water and wet sand and Oh! I smell the ocean."
I take your blouse off you and set it aside. You hear something, turn your head towards the sound but it is already gone. "Hmmm," I answer and manage to undo your bra. You feel a breeze on your face a moment, then it's gone. As I start on your skirt, you hear a seagull, then another, off in the distance. I see a small smile form on your face. The breeze hits you again, stays a fleeting moment and is gone again.
Without my asking, you step out of your skirt as I lower it. Your stockings peel off easily and I put them and your shoes with the other clothes. I see you've relaxed a little and now, not only seagulls but waves rolling up on the beach.
I turn you a little, the breeze brushes across you, a whisper touch on your bare skin. I kiss you as the wind blows your hair and the gulls cry.
"I love you little girl."
"I love you Daddy."
Waves roll on the beach and the gulls cry loudly while I lick your nipples just a little. You gasp when I suddenly bite one, not hard, just a nip.
"Easy girl," I tell you quietly when you tremble.
I guide you backwards a few steps and help you sit down on padded cloth surface. Although you've relaxed a little, you are still a little nervous. The breeze brushes your face and body, the gulls cry and the waves roll endlessly on the sand. Smaller shorebirds make their cries and you can almost see them in their small flocks, rising into the air to circle and land on the sand again.
Gently I move you to lie down and begin.
I run my hands over your body, touching everywhere except the sensitive places, your erogenous zones. I carefully avoid them, yet with each pass of my hands, I come close, sometimes seeming to be about to touch them, but moving off in another direction.
I move your arms over your head and with soft ropes, I bind your wrists together. Not so tight but you won't be easily getting out. When I'm done, I watch you try to move them, but they are attached to something and you can't. More rope touches your waist, then under and around it. Five times I pass it under and around. Except for the sound of the ocean and the birds, you hear nothing but me moving around you.
The knots finished about your waist, I begin with your left ankle. Four turns of rope, a knot. With the left ankle I do the same. I wonder what you're thinking. The ocean breeze comes and goes. I notice your nipples are hard and smile.
I take your left leg and bend it until your heel is nearly touching your thigh. You can feel the ropes tugging while I tie the knot. Then on the other side, the same thing. Your heel is nearly touching your thigh and the rope around it is fastened to the rope about your waist.
Feel the breeze girl, hear the ocean. The scents and sounds and wind touch your senses, awaken them.
About your knee I turn another rope. Gently it pulls to one side and holds you there. On the other side it is the same. I've tied you up before and I see the arousal it brings in you. Now I have you before me, unable to move, open to me, knees wide apart and your most private places bared to me. Not that you would withhold them from me, but like this, I can do anything. Anything at all.
Are you wondering what will come next?
