Author's note: This was my first experience at punishing Ariel and for me holds a lot of fond memories . . . hopefully those leading or that have led the lifestyle will be able to relate to the intricacies and smile at the inexperience, hopefully it will bring back some fond and maybe tearful memories. As always a big thanks to angel love who really is one, for all the advice and hard work in the editing . . . the Title is her idea too.
The night is still, with not a sound to break its stillness. The moon shines down from a cloudless sky, as a soft evening breeze blows, sending kisses of its caressing coolness throughout the land. I am; however, unaware of all this, as I busily prepare for our special evening. Hurriedly I jump into the shower, turning the water from hot to cold repeatedly till my body tingles. Turning off the water I step out and vigorously proceed to dry myself and quickly dress; a black turtle neck, a black suit, all black. 'Black, the color of evil,' I think to myself. Funny how it's my favorite color.
I hastily complete my dressing and make my way out the door. On the way down from my penthouse apartment I take a look at myself in the mirror in the elevator. At 5'10, with light brown skin and eyes, short cut black hair, athletic build, I like what I see and give myself an approving smile as the elevator reaches the ground floor. I make my way to my car, checking to see if my black bag of toys is in the back, before I start off to my destination.
I drive quickly, the excitement building slowly as I near my destination.
I arrive, and quickly make my way over to a non-descript red door, retrieve the key from its customary place under the door mat and let myself in. The house is dark, completely dark. I smile to myself . . . 'So it's a little game she wants to play?' I think to myself as I make my way along the dark passage that leads to the living room.
Turning the handle, I let myself in. I turn around and appreciatively survey the beautiful scene that greets my eyes. The room is lit only by the soft glow of candles, and the wondrous scent of jasmine fills the air. Jasmine, a scent to excite; jasmine, a scent to delight; jasmine the perfect scent for a romantic night.
In the middle of the room, with the candle light reflecting off her skin making it seem as if it were of gold, she knelt. Wearing nothing but the sheer silk bodice that I had brought her, she knelt eyes down, waiting in anticipation for me. I could see her quivering in anticipation.
I decided to make her wait a bit, before walking up to her and saying, "Hello Ariel."
"Hello Master," she whispers, "How are you?"
"Fine, fine petal," I reply absent mindedly stroking her hair. "And you?"
There is silence and I feel her shaking. She is apprehensive, maybe even afraid, "And you?" I repeat myself, this time in a firmer voice.
"I ha . . . ha . . . have something to confess, Master," she whispers her voice barely audible.
I gaze down at her, not saying a word, waiting for her to continue.
"I have broken your trust, I didn't mean to b . . . b . . . but I just couldn't help myself. I went there today," she says with a sob, glad to be rid or her burden.
I can see the fear in her eyes. Her lips quiver; her little body shakes and little tears roll down her face.
Walking to the couch I sit down, and stare at her, letting the uncomfortable silence build. She stares at me with those limpid eyes, wanting to say more, so much more. She wants to explain, but she knows by the darkening expression on my face that the less she says at this moment the better it will be. Finally when she can stand it no longer, I speak.
"Well petal, it seems you have problems following simple instructions. Tell me petal, shall I learn a new language, to perhaps express my instructions to you more clearly. German perhaps, maybe French or would you prefer Spanish as I seem to be the one unable to make instructions clear to you," I say, my voice quiet but each word hitting her like a whip.
Silence . . . pin drop, deafening silence ensues.
