He whispered to her: "Give me two days..."
She was staring at his lips as the meaning of the words escaped her.
He whispered again: "Lisa, I can see the sensual woman inside of you wanting to experience things. Give me two days. I will help you find those experiences. I can teach you what your body needs and wants to feel. You must trust me... I will keep you safe. But I can't let you go on being so scared to let your needs go unmet."
It was only 6 hours earlier she recalled thinking:
"You really are naive for a 39 year old woman!" The brochure said: Adults Only. Innocently she thought that to mean a quiet cruise where there are no kids to spoil the tranquility. She never thought it meant an adult themed cruise, with so-called play parties and a dungeon. Men and women walking around dressed in almost nothing. No, that's wrong... At least some have collars with leashes around their necks!
Last night was an education, for sure. For the first time in her very sheltered life as a Math teacher of 5th graders, she had witnessed a woman willingly being flogged. This woman was tied to a cross. Lisa was appalled! In this age of feminism, to allow yourself to be treated like a slave! She was shocked to her core! The fact that the woman's face was transformed during the flogging and she seemed to end up in heaven...well, that's just simply beside the point!
Mercifully she shared a table with a very nice gentleman at dinner. He introduced himself as Nicolas. He was so well-mannered, well-read; a pleasure to share a meal with. Very soon she forgot about all the strange people around her and told him the very boring details of her life: She is a widow of 12 years. She made a good living teaching about square roots and such at the local Primary School. He told her he was a businessman and currently unattached.
After the meal he slowly walked her to her cabin. The moonlight on the quiet water worked its magic into her body. She felt a tightening between her thighs- a feeling she hadn't felt in a long, long while. At the door to her cabin he put his hand into her long, dark hair and tightened a fist, bringing her lips very close to his. Looking straight into her soft brown eyes he saw them cloud over with lust. Her gaze trained on his dark eyes as tightly as if secured with rope. At that moment he reminded her of the eagle... The poor mouse that caught its attention had no chance of escape. Escape? Hell no! She wanted this... She needed this... In fact, she craved it.
Slowly, slowly his lips descended... her eyes still tied to His. She could feel his breath on her lips... her eyes closed involuntary... only to snap open when she felt his teeth bite into her bottom lip.
Immediately a protest sprang to her lips but died without a sound as he pulled her closer to him, his hand sliding over her bottom and pulling her hips snug against his. Her insides melted as she felt him so close to her.
"Give me two days..."
Instantly her body reacted to his words, as if shouting 'Yes, Yes, Yes!' And before her mind could catch up, Nicolas whispered again:
"I will take you to a world where we are the only ones who exist. I will show your body pleasure you haven't imagined but you will have the power to stop me at any time. If you really want it to end, it does."
She looked into his eyes and she saw something that resonated deep inside her, in a place that she had kept hidden and locked since what feels like forever: a place that she wanted to explore and inhabit.
Before she could really rationalize her thoughts, her mouth formed the only answer she could really give:
"Yes, yes."
She closed her eyes and felt her body react. She was surprised by the surge of lust coursing through her veins.
"Look at me, Lisa!" his words commanded.
Her eyes opened in immediate obedience to the authority she heard in his tone.
"We will have breakfast tomorrow at 8am. Keep the next two days open for me. Don't plan anything ... anything ... without running it by me first. I have plans for you; for us. Do you understand, Lisa?"
Looking into his eyes she couldn't help but nod; not allowing her mind to wonder what he has planned. She just knew that this is what she wanted and needed.
As she unlocked the door and walked into her cabin, he followed her inside and gently closed the door. Looking at him she confessed:
"I haven't done this...in almost 12 years."
"This?"
"Yes, had sex with a man. You know? Undressed. Touched."
Shaking his head he walked up to her and took her in his arms again.
"Lisa, you have neglected yourself. That stops now. That is why you were so shocked by the sexual acts around you today, why you want to run away. You have forgotten that sex is a natural part of being human. I'm going to wake you up Lisa" he promised.
But instead of kissing her and holding her in his arms he stepped away, walked to the little fridge and poured himself a glass of red wine. She stood rooted in the middle of floor as he walked to the chair and sat down, placing the glass on the little table next to him.
"Undress" he murmured so quietly she thought she misheard.
Looking at him uncertainly his burning gaze caught hers.
"Lisa, you will have to learn that I don't repeat instructions. I will be lenient this one time only. I said: 'Undress'. I want to see your gorgeous body."
Her heart beating against her ribs she slowly undid the tie on the side of her dress, followed by the 3 buttons that holds her dress together. Looking at him anxiously she saw his encouraging smile and, taking a deep, steadying breath she let the pale blue material slide to the floor.
Her cheeks colored pink. She couldn't meet his gaze but his next words gave her the confidence she lacked.
"Lisa, it's a sin to cover up something so magnificent. Come, I need to see the rest."
Her pale blue silk bra and panties followed and soon she stood before him, self-conscious.
She can't believe she is behaving this way! In front of a man that she has only just met!
But deep in her heart she knows that she wants this. For once she wants to be taken...she wants to free-fall and not worry endlessly about the pros and cons. She has been in control so long, she is tired, exhausted, by the effort. She needs to let go completely, let someone else worry about what happens next.
Her attention snapped back to her cabin and this handsome man in front of her, when she heard him groan loudly.
Blinking she saw his body's reaction to her naked form. She became aware that he was talking again; calmly, in perfect control.
"Sit on the bed, Lisa"
"Ok"
"Lisa I don't want you to say 'ok'. I want you to say: Yes, Sir. Do you understand?"
Looking at him she nodded slowly.
"Yes, S...Sir" The look of satisfaction on his face made her inexplicably happy.
"Good girl."
Walking backwards, she sat on the edge of the bed; her arms immediately covering her breasts. Her legs crossed to hide her pussy.
"No!" His vehemence caught her off guard.
Her eyes shoot to his, momentarily frozen by that one word.
"No! You never hide your body from me. I want to see it. When you sit, you sit so your breasts are exposed to me... your legs open... I want to see your delicious pussy."
The last word was a whisper and slowly she moved her arms and legs, opening her whole body to his gaze, mesmerized by the look in his eyes. Slowly he got up from the couch, walked to her cupboard and took out a pale pink silk scarf. Walking slowly up to her, he placed the scarf over her eyes, tying it tightly in the back.
"Mmm" he murmured. "Much better"
