"Say it."
The tickling whisper was a quiet command in her ear. She quickly glanced at his face. So close to hers. So expectant. All she could do is close her eyes and shake her head no.
"So much simpler if you just say it. If you just admit it. Admit it to yourself. Surrender to it it." His finger tips stroked her smooth soft skin as he said this.
She didn't want to, but couldn't help it. The shiver of anticipation that raced through her left her aching for more of his touch.
"Well then, shall we begin?"
Though she knew he wasn't asking her permission, she swallowed and nodded.
There were a few finishing touches he needed to take care of though. She was already bound of course. With her hands tied over her head he had pulled the rope taught. That did not satisfy him though. He pulled the rope harder forcing her hands higher in the air. With the pressure growing on her shoulders she had no choice but to rise up on her toes. He tied off the rope and watched as she couldn't help but dance on her tiptoes.
"Look at you." His longing sigh hissed past the lips that longed to taste her. "You are truly a vision. One last thing though."
He paused with the ball gag pressed against her lips. "One last chance? Say it now, take the easy way. I promise you you WILL say it either way you choose."
Her only response was to open her mouth to accept the gag.
He cinched the very tightly.
There seemed to be a sense of urgency surrounding him now. From the moment he had put the gag in her mouth he had been very serious. There was no cooing or stroking. The teasing smile that usually played upon his lips replaced with a frown and a furrowed brow.
He stood before her, head down contemplating the crop he rolled between his fingertips. Calmly he tucked the crop under his arm reached up and grasped either side of her blouse and ripped it open. Their eyes locked as the chaos of buttons bouncing and rolling on the floor seemed to echo off the walls. He tipped his head in a question. She closed her eyes.
She could feel his hands dig between the fabric of her bra and the tender skin of her breasts. He scooped and lifted so that her breasts were resting exposed on top of her bra.
The first loud smack of the crop found its mark on her left nipple. She screamed out pain and shock.
It was so different this time. This side of their relationship had always had an edge of course. This was harder though. It didn't seem this was something they were sharing. That was always important to both of them. The connection they had was always the base. Always. The base, the top layer, and the core. She couldn't see it in him right now. Couldn't feel it. She could only remember it. And trust in it. There was always stopping too. That never changed. If either of them felt the need to stop for any reason, they stopped.
Her jaw was sore now. It was the gag forcing her mouth to stretch. Her toes were tired. Her hands and arms were tired. There were angry red crop marks covering her breasts. She could feel each part of her body and the ache or pain individually. She could feel it all bundled together. She felt alive.
