"Should we stop meeting like this?"
"I hope not. Do you think we should?" She smiled and advanced towards him hesitantly, aware that her gown seemed far more dΓ©colletΓ© than she had ever intended.
"I did not have cessation in mind," he smiled back, as keenly aware of the frailties of that red garment as she was. "In another time and another place, someone might have said "Of all the arms in all the world, you have to walk into mine...by order."
"The order is yours sir and no one else's."
"And this tuxedo is not borrowed from Rick's bar, pet."
"And yet I believe that you are ready to play again sir?" She smiled and reached out to squeeze his hand affectionately. "Would you care to lead me to the bedroom?"
"I'm ready to lead you there," he nodded, "and I'm touched that you clutched..."
"And sucked and licked and nursed?" She ventured, pushing her white gloved hand into his arm and clutching slightly tighter, "until he bucked and kicked and ...a rhyme for nursed?"
"Well, it would not be the first...time she licked and nursed...and sucked so she'd dispel...the myth she didn't do it well," he suggested. "Though it may be the first time you have been permitted to walk to my chamber."
"I haven't heard that myth, but I'm glad it's dispelled."
"The myth of you crawling to pleasure me?"
"No the myth of my under-performance, sir."
"They are both low rumours..."
"Ahhh?"
"...Circulated at knee level," he explained as he ushered her into a large and not unfamiliar bed chamber. The thick velour curtains were drawn and the only light came from candles flickering on two bedside tables on either side of a large bed and on a mantlepiece above the embers of an almost extinguished fire.
"TouchΓ©"
He leant down, knelt before her on a the thick pile rug and kissed her stockinged knee, looking up at her with a slightly wicked smile.
"And miraculously, the pain disappears," she grinned down at him.
"But not before the stocking goes," he retorted, unclipping it from her garter and slowly rolling it down. "You have permission to step out of the pumps, pet."
"Cinderella must pay after the ball?"
"Cinders will have another ball or two, if she acts appropriately inappropriately."
"And yet my lovely white heels match these gloves so perfectly."
"You also have permission to lose the gloves."
"Then I can only oblige you sir,"
"Your obligation is a given, pet."
"My obedience is a given, sir," she countered and stepped out of first one shoe and the other. His hands reached up to loosen her other garter and she was soon bare legged from the knee length skirt downwards.
"The contact of my palm on your upper leg is also a given, though the force of the contact may very with the degree of sass, you offer up to me."
"I will moderate my comments to my threshold then and will stop studying for my bachelors in cheekiness for the present time."
"Are you sure you should?"
"I think you may be about to tell me why I should not, sir," she said lifting one foot and then the other off the ground, so he could strip off her stockings.
"Lift the skirt of that dress, girl."
"Yes sir."
"Spread the legs."
"Yes...si... ouch! What was that for β ouch β and that?"
"It was to remind you that after a few slaps, I might need to enquire if your inner thigh hurting too?"
"Um...why yes...as a matter of fact it is beginning too; and the affected area is spreading to the parts above my inner thigh."
"Strange β And I haven't even patted your pussy yet."
"That's unusual. It's quite rare for you to neglect that part of my anatomy, sir."
"Would a light stroke help at all?"
"I believe a light stroke may be of a great benefit...though I hope you don't mind if a bit of moisture may rest there as well."
"Do you think 'kissing better' has any therapeutic value in these parts above the inner thigh?"
"I do believe it might, sir β particularly if you relieved me of my underwear."
"I do like stripping you," he chuckled and looked up at her.
"I know you do," she smiled, as she held her skirt up higher and felt his fingers slipping into the band of her knickers and drawing them down, watching as she kicked the white cotton away to join gloves, shoes and stockings. "It's as if you are stealing the tattered remnant of my innocence again."
"Tattered seems harsh."
"True and the clothes you allowed me to acquire were hardly tat."
"You have no innocence when it comes to purchasing clothing."
"You deprived me of all my innocence when you offered me free use of your credit cards, sir."
"I was just trying to support the economy."
"And the econmy does fluctuate, sir."
"Let's just say the economy is less prone to fluctuations than either your innocence or your morality."
"Is the white innocence moral when offsetting red silk?" She questioned as they both stared at the discarded pile of white lingerie and accesories for a moment. "It seems more innocent and moral on its own."
"And are you feeling less innocent now?"
"I am feeling distinctly moist, sir."
"So you are, pet. It's quite interesting how a finger slides more fluidly there as your fluids gathered."
"But surely it is not unexpected β oh!"
