(Author's note: Because of my absence from my writing machine (PC) this chapter is long overdue. I apologize for that. The reader may want to re-read previous chapters to remind them of the plot)
I woke up to the smell of coffee coming from the kitchen. Usually Suzie and I wake up at about the same time on workdays so I was surprised that she was already fixing breakfast. I went to the bathroom and relieved myself, donned robe and slippers, and went downstairs to join her. I found her standing at the kitchen counter, eating the scrambled eggs and toast that she had prepared.
I gave her a good morning kiss and said, "You're up early this morning, Babe."
"I know," she replied. "I woke up early and couldn't go back to sleep. My butt was really sore from last night and every time I moved in bed it hurt. So I got up."
"Sorry."
"Don't be. It's a good hurt. Keeps reminding me of the incredible feeling I had last night. Being tied up like that with those chains really turned me on. I like how Len put those hooks in our bedroom for the chains. I was sure at your mercy. And you sure took advantage, didn't you?"
"I did. You complaining?"
"Not at all. God, I thought you'd never stop with that paddle."
"But I did. Eventually. By then you were dripping wet, and I wanted to get a taste of the newly waxed pussy. And, it was delicious." Suddenly I thought of something. "Oh, I just remembered something I promised Len I'd mention to you, and then I forgot."
"What's that?"
"Safe words. He said it was important that we have safe words when we play."
"Oh. I think Julie said something about that, too. I didn't think it was that important for us, being beginners and all."
"Well, Len was adamant about it. Made me promise. So I guess we should. It's for
your
protection. Makes sure I know if what I'm doing is too much for you to handle, or if you're in some kind of danger. Anyway, Len suggested we use what a lot of people do. Red, yellow and green. Easy to remember...just like the traffic signals.'
"And how does it work?" Suzie asked.
"Well, green means everything's OK. Yellow means it's getting too intense. Back off a little or switch to doing something else. Red means stop everything right now. Unfasten everything. Play's over. That should be easy to remember, don't you think?"
"Yep. Even a slut like me can figure that out."
"Such a smart slut you are." I gave her another kiss, this one a little longer and deeper than the "good morning" kiss.
Changing the subject, Suzie said, "Now, I have to hurry. I have an important meeting this morning with a new client. It's going to be tough sitting for an hour or so on my sore bottom. I'd stand, but they might think that was weird. If you're going to keep making my ass sore like this I may look into getting those desks I see advertised on television. You know, the ones that you can raise up and down so you either sit or stand at your desk. All of a sudden that seems like a good idea. I wonder if the invertor was into SM." As she left, she said, "What about the bench Len put together in the living room. Going to keep it there?"
"I'll take care of it. When it's dismantled we can store it in the back of the big closet in our bedroom. But I want to leave it up for a while. We're not expecting any company soon, are we?"
"Not that I know of. I was looking at it before you came down this morning. It's really clever the way Len designed it. I could imagine lots of different positions you could put me in. It has so many places to attach me."
"We'll check them all out, Babe. First we'll let your bruises heal. Then we'll have a go at it. Now you've got me all horny again, just thinking about it."
"Good. Stay that way. I like it when you're horny. Like Leila said about Len, you're much more attentive to me that way. Bye now." Off she went. And it was time for me to amble off to work, too.
Our Wednesday dinner topic of conversation, as usual lately, was about Suzie's and Julie's weekly lunch date. "So, I suppose you told Julie about the equipment that Len brought over and set up Sunday," I asked Suzie.
"Of course. And she was so excited. You'd think it was at her place, not ours. But, then, she and Bob have that much and more. I told her I was still a little sore from Sunday night, and she was happy again for me. Sometimes I wonder if she's really my friend. Just kidding. No. This is just what she was hoping would happen when she introduced me to the BDSM life. She's happy that I'm happy."
"And I'm happy, too," I added.
"And I told her that too. I told her that you get horny just looking at the chains, even when I'm not strung up by them."
"Yeh, like right now."
"Oh, she wanted to know how the wax job went over with you. I told her that it was hard to tell because your face was buried in it so much, lapping up my juices, that I couldn't understand what you were trying to say. That got a laugh out of her. Then I told her that you actually loved it. That made her happy again." Suzie paused, then added, "Oh, and she asked if we wanted to go over this Saturday for dinner again."
"It's OK with me. You OK with that?"
"I suppose. I'm a little leery about what Bob might have planned for us in his 'dungeon'. Last time he was demonstrating some of his paraphernalia on Julie. Do you think he'll want to get me involved this time? He seems so sadistic."
"Well, that's what the 'S' stands for, right?"
"Yes it does. And Julie seems to have enough 'M' to match his 'S', but I don't think I do."
"You don't have to worry, Suzie. I'll be there. And now you have the 'safe words'. Bob will most certainly respect those. In the meantime, let's finish cleaning up the kitchen and instead of watching Netflix tonight, let's check out Len's clever creation."
"You're soooo horny, Tom," she said.
"You got that right, Babe. Now why don't you go and shower and get into something comfortable. After you shower I'll take mine and then relax for a little bit until dinner is digested. Then I'll meet you in the living room and together we'll see how Len's creation works."
"Just say when."
About an hour later I said "when". "Suzie! Get into the living room now."
