Inclined to wicked ways, he walked up behind her and covered her eyes with his hands, smiling as she dropped the leash in her hands in surprise.
"Oh - who's that?"
"Just call me sir," he grinned.
"Yes, sir."
"What have you been up to in my absence?"
"Shopping."
"And what did you buy me?"
"An orangutan: he's called Borneo."
"I don't have much use for an orangutan."
"I could have the cook bar-b-q Borneo for your tea then?"
"I'm sure I'll find something less callous to do with him," he chuckled.
"Good, I wouldn't want the servants to spend all day plucking the ape for you. You could give him to Clint Eastwood?"
"There you go...give Clyde a playmate."
"Okay."
"Good girl"
"What have I done to deserve such praise, sir?"
He pondered that for a moment and moved his hands from her eyes to her hair, stoking her slowly and thoughtfully, before eventually declaring: "Nothing yet."
"I hope that the service to be rendered warrants the praise then, sir."
"We shall see," her agreed tugging her hair and pulling her head back, until his lips found hers.
"So we shall, sir," she simpered, surrendering dizzily as the fingers of one of his hands plucked at her hair, while the other trailed down to her throat. He pressed his fingertips lightly against her flesh, exploring her pulse, as his lips captured her mouth in the longest kiss she had ever entertained. He warmed to her as she released a muffled moan, while his body pressed against her back.
"I can make muffled groans without even moving my lips," she smiled, when he eventually released her.
"I'm sure you can," he commented briefly, pressing his lips against her cheek and standing up straight once more, still pulling on her hair.
"It's a good thing I take vitamin C supplements or your pulling would have my hair out in clumps."
"I am glad of that. I have never had any desire for a balding pet and yet..."
"And yet what, sir?"
"And yet, it's a handy way to control you, dear. If I pull down on the hair, my other hand on your shoulder, I might even force you to your knees."
"I'll set Borneo on you, sir," she warned with a grin: "Him or the fire brigade."
"I'll just put you between me and Borneo," he laughed
"Would that make me Sumatra?"
He shrugged, disinclined to comment and content just to admire her geography. She looked up into his eyes and then down at the floor, deciding finally to kneel, if only to keep him happy.
"Good girl."
"Yes sir," she grinned and tugged the leash that lay on the floor next to her, getting Borneo to kneel next to her for good measure.
"You keep Borneo away from me...whether he is on his knees or not," he chuckled.
"But sir," she laughed, "look at that tongue sir - doesn't it tempt you?"
"I'm afraid not; what about you?"
"No -- I'm not keen on the animal kingdom."
"Me either."
"The beast in man is enough for me. I shall have Borneo taken to the kitchen for papayas."
"That's better," he smiled having summonsed a servant to tug the ape from the room, absent-mindedly stroking his fingers through her hair once more, fingertips teasing her scalp.
"Forgive me for the distraction, sir."
"I suppose I'll let it go this time."
"Where will you let it go, sir?"
"I haven't decided yet."
"No amorphous drift please sir," she hinted and shuffled back away from him. "Please be cool, calm, collected and controlling or it's back to executive domineering 101 for you, sir."
"I see you're going to put up a struggle," he said grimly.
"I was just testing your metal. And perhaps trying to support your chosen direction?"
He looked down at her and untied the sash on his robe, flicking the garment open in his haste to divest himself of the belt.
"Oh my - is that ALL for me sir?"
"Perhaps...but certainly this is for you," he smirked and tied the sash around her neck, forming a make-shift leash and collar.
"You offer me such gifts, sir: a sash and a flash."
"Indeed," he grunted as he secure the make-do leash.
"Is it time for walkies sir? Or even crawlies?"
"Only if you stay on your knees," he growled irritatedly.
"I had no mind to move from this position, sir."
"You will move or I may have to tug you to where I wish you to be, girl," he grinned and began to walk towards a couch, pulling on the leash, urging her to follow on behind him.
"How could I not follow such a cute behind, sir," she giggled as she padded across the floor as required.
He stopped in front of the couch and gave her a moment to catch up with him, before he turned to face her and sat back on it, leaning into the cushions and making himself comfortable. Then he smiled and tapped the floor in front of him, indicating that he would have her crouch and look up at him. She sighed, wishing that she had a comb for her mussed up hair. He tugged her leash a little and shifted on the couch, deliberately letting the robe fall open.
"Oh my!" she exclaimed.
"Is something wrong?" He murmured, raising an eyebrow rather artlessly.
"You appear to be on display, sir. You may frighten the maids when they bring refreshment."
"I gave them the day off. Today, you are my refreshment, girl."
"Then you may frighten my sensibilities."
"I doubt that."
"Do you?
He nodded and stared possessively at her.
"Am I a slut then in your mind?"
"No, you are as open-minded as I desire," he grinned.
"Okay," she shrugged. "I wouldn't want you getting the wrong impression or catching a chill, wonderful though your equipment is."
"No, I feel fine," he reassured her and pulled on the leash a little more.
"A productive afternoon in prospect then?" she queried and advanced unresisting, until her face hovered millimeters from his naked leg.
"Yes indeed," he confirmed, moving his knee just a fraction so that it touched her cheek, as he leaned forward and allowed his finger to trace the shape of her eyebrows. She leant forward obligingly and kissed the top and then the inside of his knee, before glancing briefly between his thighs and then down at the floor, holding still to contemplate the patterns of the wooden flooring.
"Why are you looking down at the floor?"
"I wanted to give you the opportunity to lead, sir, and permission is needed to look up as a rule," she murmured, before adding as a submissive afterthought: "though, of course, you make the rules."
