Fearne let out the softest of sighs as she took her earring off, giving herself a wistful glance in the opulent mirror that dominated her dressing table. Mistress had been favouring Sanford recently and she missed the touch of the whip, the brutality of her paddle and most of all the way that Mistress eased the brutal pain that she inflicted. Her last orgasm had been a little over a month ago, 36 days to be precise. Yet she remembered it with such crystal clarity that it could have been moments ago. The climax she had received had been all the sweeter because of all the tease, denial and the edging. Oh god the edging. Thinking of how expertly Mistress could bring her so very close to the brink but then deny her that final release made Fearne squirm in her chair. She was alone, the end of another frustrating night of mostly being ignored. Although unlike Sanford she wasn't kept in chastity she knew that to even touch herself once would enrage and disappoint her Mistress. It was the latter quality that stayed Fearnee's fingers though. She could handle the rage, sometimes even thrived on it. But to disappoint the one woman who had made her happier than she had ever dreamt possible... to see that crestfallen look on her face. That was too much to bear the thought of.
She looked down at the little jewellery box that Mistress had given her last Christmas. It was made of walnut and had a ruby that had been cut in the shape of a heart set into the top. Lined with purple velvet it was truly a gift worthy of any lover, and one of the few items that Fearne cherished for purely sentimental reasons. Carefully placing the tear-drop earrings back into their compartments in the top of the chest she glanced back at her reflection in the mirror.
