Would you like to have me to tease you? That's the question which I posed to Mary one rainy Saturday afternoon when we found ourselves at loose ends staring at the rain drops as they ran down the windows in our living room.
From past experience, Mary was familiar with my ideas about teasing. In particular, she knew that I require her complicity. That is, she knew that my pleasure comes, in large part, from the knowledge that she has agreed to temporarily relinquish control over her own body and to put it, quite literally, in my hands. Of course, her recognition of her own complicity has been the source of much of the excitement which she experiences herself when I tease her body. Nonetheless, exciting as it may be for her, her agreement to relinquish control is an act which borders on self immolation, and, as such, makes her understandably ambivalent about it. Thus, I was neither surprised nor disappointed when she hesitated before responding to my question. On the contrary, I interpreted her hesitation as evidence of the care with which she was coming to her decision.
For this reason, when, after several minutes, she accepted my invitation, I knew that she was committed to accepting whatever torment I might require her to endure, and so, without further ado, I told her to run a hot bath, remove all her clothes, and wait for me in the bathroom. Once she had done so, I joined her in the bathroom and asked her to immerse herself in the water. Because the water was quite hot, at first she found it difficult to relax. However, her body quickly accommodated to the temperature, and soon her face transformed into a beatific smile as her skin became suffused in a delicate pink hue. Wanting her to fully enjoy what was happening to her body and, at the same time, be aware that pleasurable rush of blood to its surface was making her body more sensitive and, therefore, more vulnerable, I had her remain completely passive while I began a thorough and intimate scrubbing of every part of her increasingly pliant flesh.
Lounging in warm water while someone else soaps and washes your body is a sensual experience. However, when that other person begins to probe and delve into every crevice, the sensuality of the experience comes into conflict with inhibitions. Thus, although Mary took unalloyed pleasure in my soaping and scrubbing of her firm limbs, stomach, breasts, back, and legs, her feelings were mixed about the attention I paid to the more remote areas of her body. Nonetheless, I insisted that she keep her arms raised not only while I shaved her armpits but also when, after carefully removing from them the last vestige of hair, I subjected her freshly shaved skin to a gentle but protracted scrubbing with our fingernail brush. Similarly, she found it difficult to stay passive when I prized and held open her buttock in order to introduce a small piece of soap into her rear. However, after the initial embarrassment had passed, she discovered that she could learn to tolerate and even enjoy the indignity of having me watch as her body heated and eventually melted the soap which I had inserted.
When I finished bathing Mary, I helped her out of the tub and had her stand with her arms at her sides in front of the full length mirror on the back of our bathroom door. As I expected, her bath had left her in a mildly dazed state of lassitude. Thus, even though she enjoyed the rub down which I gave her towel, her response was more one of relaxation than excitement. Wanting to reawaken her body slowly after I had dried it, I brought a pillow from the bedroom and placed it on the toilet for her to sit on. I then told her to sit on the pillow with her arms at her sides and her shoulders pulled back so that her breasts would be presented to me without obstruction. In this position, Mary's breasts are lovely. The countervailing forces of gravity pulling one direction versus the strength of her well toned muscles pulling the other results in her breasts assuming an inviting curve, and it was precisely this portion of her anatomy whose invitation I intended to accept.
When she was comfortably settled on her perch, I placed a chair in front of her, armed myself with a hairbrush, and, making sure that I left her with a unimpaired view of her own reflection in the mirror, sat down. Seeing surprise at my activities in her eyes, I explained that I intended to brush her breasts. I assured her that I had no desire to inflict acute physical pain. On the other hand, I did want to make her experience the excitement of enduring sensations from a source over which she had no control. To allay her fears, I told her that, although she would not be permitted to protect her breasts from my attentions, she could request that I desist for brief periods. On the other hand, I warned her that it would be I, not she, who determined when her breasts had been brushed enough.
Having informed her what it was that I had in mind, I brought the bristles of brush into contact with the underside of her right breast and gently drew them back and forth. Although the bristles were barely touching her skin, I made sure that they never left the surface of her breast. After several minutes, my efforts were rewarded by the appearance of a blush which soon enveloped the whole of Mary's right breast. At the same time, Mary's body language made it increasingly clear that the state of lassitude in which she had emerged from her bath had been replaced by a state of considerable agitation as she fought her inclination to remove her breast from the insidious brushing to which I subjecting it. In fact, not only had her brow become knit but the muscles in her neck and arms had become visible as a result of the intensity with which she had begun gripping the edge of the toilet seat with her fingers.
