I began to form the chest harness that would provide the bulk of the support for the suspension around the slave's torso. As I added more wraps, it constricted her more, designed as it was to hold her up in the air, but she was surprised to find she could still breathe comfortably despite that. As the upper wraps completed the frame around her breasts, she let out a sigh. Mya ran a finger between the slave's legs, and for sure, it came up wet.
Having Mya to stand behind Rouge and hold her up, I could for once enjoy the luxury of coming around to the front of my bottom to tie the front part of the harness. As I tied that very familiar pattern, I leaned in to kiss Rouge. Kissing her was always highly pleasant, with her soft lips and gentle tongue. I noted the staccato of her breathing. This one was a natural for rope, no doubt about it. At least for the kind of rope that I enjoy.
I slid around to be behind her again, brushing against Rouge's skin with my whole body as I did, and slightly displacing Mya to the side. I began to tie the last part of the chest harness, and decided to be generous to the slave. She had been in non-stop service to us for nearly 24 hours, and her body had been through some tiring things. Rather than tying a classic stem that would dig into her skin in the suspension, I gave her the mercy of a flat weave at the back that would support her in a way less painful way. She'd earned it.
The harness thus completed, I grabbed the top of the slave's head and pushed her down and inside the suspension frame. This gesture was first born of safety, as I didn't want her to bump her forehead against the heavy steel structure. But there was also a symbolism in it that didn't escape me: feeling protective of her while at the same time pushing her towards something risky and dangerous, guiding her deeper into things with a push of my arm. Once she stood in the center of the suspension frame, I spun her around to face me, and started the process of anchoring her.
The first upline was attached to the front of her chest harness, just between her perky breasts. From there, it shot up to a vertical bar above. I instructed the slave to bend her knees and lean back, putting some of her weight into the harness. Rouge thus felt her harness come alive for the first time as loading tensions ran through the rope all around her ribcage, and she discovered the sensations that from then on, would do nothing but become more intense. The upline now taut, I locked it in a robust fashion, very mindful that this particular set of hitches on the main line was what made the difference between my slave flying and her crashing to the mats below. As I focused on this task, Mya, who was watching from the corner, couldn't resist the temptation to crack a joke at how I was creating such pretty uplines nowadays. Fair, I saw what she meant, although still touchy about my rope being called "pretty". I turned back to look at slave Rouge and saw a lot of anticipation in her eyes. Things were becoming pretty real, pretty fast for her. I liked that look on her a lot.
