Chapter 11
For the next week, they had a very fortunate matching of schedules. With both of them working the day shift, they had evenings devoted to each other. Unfortunately, Joe had a few late nights with the problems in the wastewater escalating. The water chemistry seemed to fluctuate wildly from day to day, which made it very hard to treat. Joe and everyone cut back on treatment and instead opted for small steps to try to equalize the treatments.
The problem with treating the incoming chemistry was that the fluctuation appeared to be only moments in time. In other words, they seemed to be getting large slugs of bad water, but everything else seemed fine. Therefore, when they treated the water based on the large slugs of water, they overcompensated for everything else. So, the wild gyrations in chemistry were mostly due to over treatment of water.
Joe was at least glad they were doing something, but to be honest, this slow methodology was driving him crazy. Joe also used his managerial position to try to get Jessa some of the better, dancing jobs. He knew Lisa's talents were wasted on many of the eye candy jobs that they had given her, and he wanted better for her. At the same time, it irked him to see the love of his life sitting virtually naked in men's laps trying to hawk drinks or other services. While she was certainly better than that, she was also his woman and his to look after and protect.
It was unusual for someone from the engineering staff to even talk with people in the entertainment staff. Joe had already made friends there and used them to Lisa's advantage. It finally took some convincing, but he thought he made some headway when he finally noticed some dark-haired, shorter dancers in the club. Still it wasn't Jessa, but at least they were finally valuing some diversity in looks.
Fortunately, he had Jessa at home, and their relationship seemed to get better every day. On the home front, they found they both had very eclectic tastes in food, music, movies, and books. While there were inevitable exceptions, they mostly liked everything each other had or wanted to do.
When it came to the sexual side of their relationship, it was off the charts. Both Joe and Jessa were very physical in their expressions of love, and when they weren't making love they were touching, kissing, or hugging. Jessa really meant what she said earlier, she really did want Joe to tame her. She would purposefully be obstinate or tease him unmercifully with that incredible body of hers, and if he didn't take control of her, she would keep doing it until he did. Jessa had a strong will, but she only wanted to give herself to someone worthy of the fight and her gift.
For Jessa it was almost a battle of wills, while she wanted Joe to tame her and force her to give in, she would make him earn it. Jessa thought of herself as the most popular girl in a caveman clan. She knew ultimately, she would have to submit to the strongest man, but she would test him first. She had to make him prove, he is worthy of her gifts. She wouldn't give in until she was totally overwhelmed and couldn't take any more.
Fortunately for both of them, Joe was very perceptive and picked up very quickly when to push and what her limits were. He found various methods for controlling her, from orgasm denial, intense stimulation, or even sometimes continuous unrelenting orgasms. However, each time he could perceptively see when she had reached her limit, and when she was once again ready to submit to him. Those were the moments when their love wove their hearts and souls together; the moments when only they existed.
Joe learned how to strip her emotions bare till all she had left was her passion and love for Joe. He found new and creative ways to bring her to the edge until she was screaming and begging, lost in the hurricane of conflicting emotions. Many times, her spoiled, sassy, and independent side would make her hold out and fight him. In the next instant, she begged for more needing to feel him take her. She trembled under his dominant love, and even in the same sentence alternately pleading to stop and begging for more, with her heart laid open for his feasting.
Joe could see the pride, and adoration in her eyes as she gave her heart and her body to him. Likewise, Jessa could see the stubborn pride and loving tenderness as he stripped her rebelliousness from her. No one had ever loved her like this, with this dedication and this intensity. His loving intensity took her breath away. It was beyond her wildest dreams, and she knew, despite her sassy streak, she was meant for him.
One of her favorite ways to entice him was to ask him to critique a new dance routine. Generally, she would start off with one of her mundane dance routines and would quickly change it into a cock hardening, strip tease followed by a lap dance. When she reached this stage, he would typically restrain her sometimes with handcuffs, other times he would tie her to the bed. In extreme cases, he would tie her in a back bend over his credenza. Since the credenza was open underneath, he would lay her on the top and tie her arms and legs together underneath the credenza. In effect, he was tying her in a backwards circle with the credenza holding her up.
Once she was restrained, he could tease, tantalize, or torture her to his heart's content. Joe found during these sessions that Jessa really wanted more extreme restraints. She wanted to feel the stretch and the pull and know that she could not get away. In a confession later, she told him the tighter she's bound the more sensitive her skin is to his touch. She craves his hard, intense touch, desperate for him to push her harder and higher than she's ever been.
She loves what he does to her and the more extreme the better. She hungers for his control, for the way he claims her like a caveman would take his mate, forceful and primal. His eyes always showed his soft and loving heart, but his voracious hunger made her tremble with desire. Every part of her needed and yearned for him. She couldn't eat or breathe without him, but she was still compelled to test him. She tested him over and over until he forcefully took her and made her pay for her petulance.
Once he had her restrained, he would use various methods to teach her a lesson. Sometimes it was a paddle or crop to give her sharp jolts to various parts of her body. Other times it was a Mink glove or feathers to tease and tantalize. Sometimes he would use vibrators or other toys to keep her on the edge. However, the real torture was keeping her on the edge of orgasm until she promised to be good. Sometimes he would even do the reverse and keep her cumming until she promised to be a good slave.
Joe felt like the sessions were getting longer, and it was as if she was testing him for something. One time she was teasing him so unmercifully that he tied her over the credenza and teased her until she begged and pleaded for him to let her cum. Once she begged and pleaded, Joe walked away and sat down, but every few minutes he would get up and tease her clit just long enough to get her back on the edge. Then he would go sit down again. He kept this up for over an hour.
Her pleas kept on until she suddenly broke down into heartbreaking sobs with tears flooding her eyes. Joe knew something had happened, and quickly he undid her bonds. As soon as he did, she scrambled off the credenza, knelt at his feet, wrapping her arms around his legs as she cried uncontrollably. In amongst the sobs, she would beg for Joe not to throw her out and to give her another chance.
Joe realized he had ignited something in her, something deep and painful. He sat on the floor pulling her into his lap, and as he held her, he started to give her soothing caresses on her face and back. He tilted her head towards his and looked into those stricken, watery eyes as he whispered, "I'm not going to throw you out my love. Even when you make me angry or push your limits too far, I will always care for you. Look at me. Look into my eyes and understand how I feel about you, Jessa. I will always cherish you. Even when you make me angry and upset me, I will still love you."
She grabbed on to him and clung to him like a leech with her face buried against his chest. She began crying anew until her tears ran down his chest and clung to his downy, chest hair. As he continued to hold her, he would caress her in soothing strokes and soft words until he could hear her whispering between sobs.
"I didn't know. I didn't know someone could love me like that. I didn't know how much you really love me. No one has ever loved ME ... not like that. They always wanted my body, but never me. You're the only one that wants ME!"
He cradled her in his arms as he stood up and carried her to the bed. He placed her on the bed and lay down next to her, hovering over her looking into her eyes. He held himself over her with one arm and with the other arm; he continued to stroke her face, brushing her tears away. As he was looking at her, he realized the truth of what she had said on the day they committed themselves to each other. She knew her fear would drive her to test him, even if she was not intentionally doing it. She was afraid that his love for her was not as deep or committed as hers was. She was afraid that all it would take was for her to get him angry, and he would throw her out.
Joe didn't think she had intentionally tried to do any of this, but the opposite of love is fear. Her fear of not being loved made her test his love and resolve. He knew she had been deeply damaged by her ex-husband, but he was only beginning to realize just how damaged. The damage might go back even further than her husband to other boyfriends. She feels like all she has to do is make someone angry then they will leave her, so her fear of rejection made her test him.
