My legs crossed, my shoulders hunched and took on a defensive pose as he proceeded toward me.
“My pet, you need not worry, I will not hurt you and you surely know that.” My posture relaxed minimally as I recognized the truth in his words, but my body still betraying the uneasiness I still felt.
“How about,” his voice making me jump, fraying my already anxious nerves
“I blindfold you, would that make you relax?” he asked, walking away from me. In the midst of shaking my head, I could not see he had turned away and was about to turn the light switch off.
My body reacted like a bucket of ice water had been thrown over me to the darkness that had consumed the room, I started, my eyes peering around, trying to adjust to the lack of light.
“Ian, what are you doing?” my edginess showing in my voice.
I jumped as I felt Ian’s hands touch my face from behind me. Still sitting on the couch, I tried to soothe my anxiety. He was pulling my stray hair away from my face, I was relaxing. But immediately stiffened at the touch of the soft cloth against my face.
“Sssshhhhh….. My pet, do not fear while you are in my arms, I shan’t tell you again”. The cloth wound itself around my eyes, blocking out the fuzzy shapes that I could make out as my eyes adjusted to the dimness.
Walking around the chair, Ian reached for my hand, soft skin against my hand making me intake my breath at the unexpected touch. Soft as velvet, caressing my own clammy and trembling hand. A gentle tug told me to rise from the couch. Feeling unsteady and unsure, I balked. A bit more of a forceful tug made me rise from my chair. The air in the room suddenly feeling cold, I shivered in anticipation.
His hand moved away from mine, and my hand instinctively went out to reach for the comforting touch. Both hands spread before me, blindly seeking his reassurance, his warm hand. Both of my hands were ensnared by his, my heart giving an excited little gallop as the cold bracelet of handcuffs encircled my wrists, binding my hands, rendering them useless.
He let go of my hands and circled me, his breathe hot on my shivering body. His warm hands touched both of my shoulders, running them lightly up and down my arm.
The goose bumps rising even more. My thoughts were running fast, being blindfolded, the sense of touch was heightened and was heady and erotic. Ian walked around the front of me, his hands trailing around my body, letting me know that my body is now his body. My pleasure is his pleasure, should he choose to give it. My pain is the pain he will inflict on me.
Little words were said, the gestures speaking for themselves. My tongue licked my lips in anticipation. Another tug and I was led from the room.
“Step up, my pet”, he quietly commanded, his voice breaking the stillness of the room, like throwing a rock, breaking the surface of a still lake. Senses reeling, I hesitantly lifted my foot, the thud of foot hitting wood rose to my ears.
