"We need all this rope?" Olga asked, her voice dripping with incredulity. Blinking, she hastily added, "Miss Rita," but it was too late. The tone of voice and omission had been noted. Miss Rita had been working with her concerning her use of politeness and proper address when speaking. Olga didn't have to say 'Miss Rita' or even 'Miss' with every sentence, but neglecting it while speaking with such an inflection earned her a penalty.
Indeed, Miss Rita merely pointed at the wooden paddle hanging from a wall hook. Keeping silent, Olga went and fetched it. Offering it respectfully to her Mistress, she asked quietly, "Where would you like me, Miss?"
"I think we'll use the rail," Rita responded.
Naked, Olga padded across the wooden floor of their special room to reach the device indicated. It was a simple horizontal wooden rail, similar to a ballet barre, but positioned out away from the wall, supported by two sturdy metal uprights. Reaching it, Olga bent her upper body forward over the bar, ending up with her head, arms, and upper torso draped on one side, and her legs on the other, her feet firmly planted on the floor. She waited to see if Miss Rita was going to tie her in this position or not. She really wasn't sure which she preferred. If her Mistress tied her, it was likely to be a long punishment. But if she left her untied, Olga would have to hold herself in position with sheer willpower.
Olga knew it was going to sting. The bar would prevent any forward motion of her pelvis when the paddle struck. She knew herself well enough to know that she wasn't an aficionado of pain, so she didn't deliberately disobey her Mistress. She preferred the excitement of humiliation. This would be a mixture of both. The pose was certainly humiliating enough, presenting her bare posterior in this lewd manner. The paddle would furnish the pain.
Before she started, Miss Rita asked, "Do you know why we're doing this, my dear slut?"
"Yes, Miss. I was remiss in using a proper title for you, and my tone of voice lacked proper respect."
"I'm glad you understand, girl. Let's drive the point home a little," Miss Rita said.
The paddle cracked across Olga's ass. She grimaced, but didn't cry out, because Miss Rita's first stroke was given at about one quarter of her full intensity. "One. Thank you, Miss," Olga called out.
Each successive blow with the paddle was performed with a gradual increase of intensity. Olga dutifully counted each one, and thanked her Mistress. By the time that Rita had decided that her submissive had been disciplined enough, Olga's ass was red and hot, and tears had leaked from her eyes to travel up across her forehead and into her hair.
"You may get up now, girl," Miss Rita told her.
The two of them went over to Miss Rita's large, comfortable chair and Olga was pulled onto Rita's lap and into a snuggling embrace. "Thank you for caring enough to discipline me, Miss," Olga murmured softly against Rita's neck. This was a special time for both of them. As she cuddled with her Mistress, Olga reflected on the cause of her surprised outburst. Up until this point, when Miss Rita practiced shibari on Olga, she'd been using lengths of rope from between 30 to 50 feet or so. With such pieces, she'd created many different forms of the 'Hishi Karada', or 'rope dress' on Olga's nude form, and had achieved a level of confidence in creating the proper tension, and tying knots that were reliable.
Today, though, she'd decided to make her first attempt at putting Olga into a harness for suspension shibari. She'd studied several ways this could be done, and for this attempt had decided upon one that looked the least intricate, and yet seemed the most sturdy. The rope, a deep shade of red for aesthetic purposes, was the type recommended. It bent easily, but held the knots well. Together, they'd placed pads on the floor beneath the pulley system. This was just a safety precaution. If something went wrong, it'd be better for Olga to land on these mats, rather than on the wooden floor.
They began with Olga kneeling completely nude, while Miss Rita constructed a rope harness around her upper torso, securing her arms behind her back. Olga enjoyed the feeling of her body being bound by the ropes - being held snugly was comforting, like being in a cocoon. When it was complete, Rita attached that harness to the overhead pulley, with Olga still sitting on the floor. Next, Rita attached another doubled rope just above Olga's knee. Once that was done, she said, "Stand up, girl." Carefully hauling on the pulley rope, she got Olga up onto her tiptoes.
Taking the knee rope, Rita ran it through another ring suspended from the ceiling. Pulling on that, she raised her submissive's leg almost to chest level, and tied it off. Kneeling down, the Domme attached a final double rope to Olga's free ankle, and stood on her own tiptoes to loop it through the pulley ring. The moment of truth had arrived. She began pulling slowly on that rope. Both of them were surprised at how smoothly and easily Olga's foot left the floor, with the weight of her body being taken up by the torso harness and knee rope.
Olga was suspended!
It was a strange combination of sensations for the submissive. The reassuring confinement of the ropes contrasted with the scary sensation of being off the floor, staring down at it. Olga's elevated heart rate created a feeling of excitement, too. She became almost giddy as Rita slowly shortened her leg ropes, because Olga found herself almost upside down! Bound and inverted!
After holding her submissive like that for a brief period of time, Miss Rita cautiously lengthened the leg ropes. Olga ultimately found herself in a graceful horizontal position, gently swinging. This generated a rush of euphoria in the submissive. The pose made her feel like she was flying!
Flushed with a feeling of success, Rita slowly lowered Olga to the mat. She did this by lowering the main pulley rope, while lengthening the leg ropes in a corresponding fashion. Soon the nude submissive was prone on the mats. She panted with relief, mixed with excitement and arousal as Rita freed her from the ropes.
"Please Miss, may we do more of that?" she begged, flushed with joy.
"In good time, my dear and lovely slut. But I see that doing that aroused you as much as it did me," she remarked, stripping off her own clothing. Rolling her compliant submissive face up on the mat, she stretched out atop her in the classic 69 position. "Eat my pussy until we both cum," Rita commanded.
Olga reached up and grabbed Rita's ass cheeks and began a spirited cunnilingus on her Domme. Meanwhile, Rita's tongue parted Olga's sodden pussy lips and speared deep inside her honey pot. Both women dined on each other's nectar. Even though Rita had demanded 'until we both cum' they soon found that one orgasm didn't seem to be enough. Quite a bit of time and climaxes ensued until they were a hot, entwined quivering couple.
Over the next several days, they spent a lot of time doing more experiments with shibari suspension. Miss Rita was getting much more facile, and Olga was learning the serenity that could be experienced as she took flight in the ropes. And they learned that for the more complex designs, Rita needed even more rope than she'd surprised Olga with on that first day. The red ropes against Olga's skin looked quite artistic. And when the ropes were removed, Rita feasted her eyes on the rope impressions that lasted for a few hours on Olga's otherwise smooth skin. She liked running her fingers softly along the rippled flesh, and Olga was thrilled by that attention.
One beautiful, warm day, Miss Rita decided to do an outside shibari suspension, utilizing a large, sturdy branch of a well grown oak tree. She'd learned that a pulley system was not really necessary as long as she enclosed Olga in a secure pelvis and/or upper torso harness, and had her submissive stand as she took up the slack on the supporting rope and tied it off. Lifting legs, and sometimes arms took virtually no effort, once the harness controlled the majority of Olga's weight.
Thus, Olga was soon gently and gracefully swaying in a slight breeze, at ease with being perhaps three or four feet above the earth. The air currents caressed her naked skin delightfully. Miss Rita had ingeniously arranged the ropes to leave Olga's breasts, tummy and mound exposed, making the submissive highly aware of those places. Not only were those areas uncovered, but Miss Rita had also lashed a stick of bamboo about a foot and a half long between Olga's knees. No matter how much she squirmed, she was unable to bring her thighs together, and she knew her sexual area was fully on display. The very thought of that was making her pussy lips engorge with arousal. Her inner glands reacted by producing the nectar-like juices that dripped slowly from Olga's intimate tunnel.
Rita was resting with her back against the tree trunk, enjoying both the view of her submissive 'in flight' and the book that she had in her lap, reading it in a desultory fashion. Neither of them heard the arrival of Olga's gardener, Joanne. She apparently recognized the housekeeper from a distance, because she called out, "Hey, Rita. What're you up to?"
