It's not often that our house is void of teen-aged voices and hustle and bustle, much less a time when all is quiet and Donnie and I are alone with nothing to interrupt us, and a time for play. When it finally dawned on us a few nights ago that we were alone with several hours to ourselves, it was almost too good to be true.
Before he could say a word I was in the bath, shaving and preparing myself the way he liked, freshly showered, smoothly shaved legs, no perfume, no makeup, just me. I wasn't surprised in the least when I stepped out of the bathroom to find all the lights out and candles scattered, flickering around the bedroom. Soft music played on the stereo. Donnie was nowhere in sight as I began to massage a bit of unscented lotion on my legs, but I knew he couldn't be far.
He caught me by surprise, however, from behind, grasping my long brown hair, tugging me upward and back against him. His other hand wrapped itself around my left breast, gently teasing my nipple as his lips found mine, kissing me as a growl rolled from his throat. My heart quickened its pace and I melted back against him, submitting to his strong hands.
I was caught a bit off guard as he suddenly let go of me, turning me around to face the door of the bathroom, pushing me forward until I was standing in the doorway. He lifted my hands up, placing them on each side of the door frame, then put his foot between my two, spreading my legs apart.
"Don't let go of the door and don't turn around." His voice was soft, yet gruff, and I knew better than to disobey him. I heard him moving around behind me and tried to peek at what he was doing without moving my head, but couldn't see anything except his side of the bed behind me and the few furnishings on that side of the room. I was totally unprepared for the soft whisking sound of leather tendrils as they landed across my ass. Not hard, mind you, just enough to get my attention. My head flew up, eyes wide as I started to move my hands and turn around.
"I said don't move."
Another flick of his wrist brought the tendrils across the back of my thighs, harder this time, warning me that he meant business. I wasn't used to this. He knew that I had written fantasies about this sort of play and he knew that I read a lot of erotica that had a bondage and S&M theme, but he had always insisted he wasn't into this sort of thing. I was stunned. I definitely didn't know what to think, or what he had in store, and was more than a little afraid of him accidentally hurting me. But after 18 years of marriage I had come to trust him very much, and I have to admit I was more than a little thrilled that he was trying something I had often wondered about.
He worked slowly at first, not hitting me hard at all. Each time the tendrils of his weapon touched my skin it was like a warm, nipping kiss. I secretly wanted him to try it a bit harder, and soon enough he did. Slowly the blows got harder and harder, but not yet painful. My hips began to arch back, inviting the next kiss of leather. It was then that things changed.
The next blow of the leather landed, wrapping itself around my body and nipping at my breast. Then the other side, leaving stinging welts on each breast as if an octopus had just wrapped itself around me. I gasped hard, my head flying up and my hands leaving the doorway.
