Give me a few paragraphs to set the stage, and then I will take you to a place you've only imagined.
**************
I was thinking about our preconceptions about reciprocity as it applies to sex; about that feeling of obligation that most of us seem to have that says that each partner must reach orgasm, preferably simultaneously, for a sexual encounter to be successful. And how that extends beyond orgasm right back into foreplay. If I spend time exploring your chest, you reciprocate by playing with my breasts. If I take delight in giving you head, you feel the need to reciprocate by tonguing my pussy. Get my drift?
I'm not saying those are bad things; don't get me wrong, I enjoy all of those activities and more, and I agree that there must be a certain amount of give and take in any relationship. However, what you sometimes find hard to understand is that reciprocating does not necessarily mean giving back exactly the same thing. I want you to know that by taking or accepting what I have to give, you ARE giving, simply because of the enjoyment I take in giving pleasure to you.
You have admitted that you understand this concept when you are the giver; you have proven yourself only too well in your ability to give, and I know you take pleasure in that giving. But you still have trouble accepting that it can work both ways, you can't just lay still and receive what I have to give.
So today, I'm determined to change that. Are you with me? Here is what you are going to do. I want you to take a long, hot bath. Relax completely. Take your time scrubbing every square inch of yourself until you are warm and squeaky clean. When you're done, wrap yourself in a towel, and come knock on our bedroom door, but do not open it. Instead, close your eyes, turn around so your back is to the door, and wait for me. Do you understand? Yes? Good! Are you game? Fantastic!
*With a warm kiss and a press of my body against yours, I push you off towards the bathroom.*
**************
From this point on, I would like you to read each line slowly, without skipping ahead. Take the time to let each word sink in, and imagine each whisper, each breath, each touch.
**************
I jump when I hear your knock at the door.
I've been waiting in nervous anticipation;
confident in what I'm doing,
but eager to put my plans into action
and to see your reactions.
I open the door to see you standing there,
back facing me as I had instructed,
a towel wrapped snuggly around your hips.
Your hair is still damp from the bath
and I can feel the heat of the warm water rising off your skin.
I move closer to you, lean over your shoulder,
and I whisper "Don't move, and keep your eyes closed."
I see you tense a bit at my words,
and startle at the feel of my bare nipples grazing against your back,
but you do as I say,
even as I whip the towel from your waist.
Clearly, you've been doing some anticipating of your own while in the bath,
and I grin as I peek around to the front of you and see you semi-hard before me.
"Stay still" I repeat, as I reach behind you.
You feel my arms as they brush up alongside you,
one on either side,
sliding up your arms and over your shoulders,
as if I'm reaching around you.
I see you tilt your head to the side,
trying to figure out what I'm up to,
but otherwise you obey my command to stay still, with eyes shut.
I see your body jerk and hear your sudden intake of breath
as you feel the soft fabric of the blindfold touch your eyelids.
"Don't worry" I chuckle,
as I tie the strings firmly behind your head
"You're in good hands",
emphasizing my point by running my hands over your back,
and cupping your buttocks,
rubbing myself against you in the process.
I take your hand and guide you slowly to the bed.
While you are moving in darkness,
I have the light of several candles lighting up the room,
giving it a soft glow and casting flickering shadows across your warm skin.
I turn you so that your back is to the bed
and press myself against the length of you,
giving you a long, deep kiss,
before placing my palm on your chest
and pushing you back to sit on the bed.
You can feel the thick layer of flannel sheets
that I have put on top of the bed and for a moment you
wonder why I might have done so.
But those thoughts are interrupted as you feel
something light trailing over your shoulders
and chest, and across your arms, tickling your senses.
Again, I see you tilt your head to the side,
trying to make sense of what you are feeling.
I take your hand and close your fingers around the strip of silk fabric,
drawing it through your fingers so you can feel the length of it.
A look of comprehension spreads across your face
as I loop one strip around your right wrist, making it snug, but not too tight.
I repeat this process with your left wrist,
then run my hands down your arms to your chest,
down your abdomen, dipping into navel,
sliding across your hips to the tops of your legs.
I hesitate there for a moment,
dragging the remaining two strips of fabric around your waist
and letting them rub against your pelvis
before my hands continue their journey to your ankles
where I fasten the remaining strips securely.
I kiss your eyelids and your cheekbones
before capturing your mouth again,
moving my lips urgently across yours.
I slap aside your hands as you try to caress my shoulders.
"No touch" I chide,
placing your hands firmly at your sides.
"Lie down" I command,
pushing you backwards onto the bed.
With some poking and prodding
I move you to the centre of the bed.
I place a pillow under your head,
and another under the backs of your knees,
making sure that you are completely comfortable and relaxed.
Without talking, I securely fasten your left wrist to the corner post of our bed
and I walk around the bed to do the same on the other side.
After testing the play in the silk restraints,
I run my hands over you, feeling the muscles tighten in your arms.
"Relax", I murmur. "I'm not going to hurt you".
I see a look of doubt cross your face
and I smile, knowing that I will soon remove that look from your face.
I walk to the bottom of the bed
and fasten each ankle to the corners of the bed
so that you are spread out in all your glory before me.
I know you feel vulnerable,
but I can also see that you are highly aroused,
and I take a minute just to drink in the gorgeous sight of you.
I see you wiggle a bit,
trying to gauge how much you can move,
and laugh when I sense your frustration.
"Patience, deary, patience."
"Good things come to those who wait."
My preparations almost complete,
I crawl across the bed towards your head
and reach to the night side table to scoop up
a couple of small items.
Leaning over you,
so that my breasts fall across your shoulder
I nestle down into the crook of your neck and
I whisper in your ear "You are MINE",
using my tongue to trace the outline of your ear.
"This isn't about control, or force or submission.
This is about giving you the complete freedom to simply enjoy.
Just like I am going to enjoy making love to every last inch of you."
And with that, I take the small earplugs
and fit one gently in each ear canal, shutting off your sound,
knowing that by doing so, you will be totally focused
on each and every touch that I am about to bestow.
Still on the bed beside you,
I raise up on my knees so that I can take a long look at you.
You can feel the movement through the mattress
and can feel my knees as they press against your side
but I can see by the cautious expression on your face
that you wonder what I am up to, as I decide how I want to proceed.
You sense my weight shift again
and feel the lightest touch of my mouth upon yours.
I'm careful not to let any other part of my body
come into contact with yours,
so our only connection is the brush of my tongue as it circles your lips,
and I draw my head back as you raise yours,
denying you the firmer contact that you desire.
Using the fingers on both hands
I begin to draw lazy lines down both sides of your face,
Starting at your temples, across your eyebrows,
down your nose and across your cheekbones,
behind your ears, and down the sides of your neck.
following your collarbone to the hollow of your neck
where I pause to give you a kiss, nuzzling my nose in the depression there.
Using a single finger from each hand,
I trace down your sternum, and then out across your chest,
making a large arc around each nipple,
drawing a spiraling circle, getting tighter with each sweep
until my nails graze the outer edges of your areolas,
feeling the bumps that are starting to rise there.
I use the fingers on each hand to close in on your tightening nipples,
rolling them between thumb and forefinger,
and then tugging lightly upward, making them stand stiff and erect.
Bending my head, I repeat the circles around each nipple with my tongue,
getting closer and closer until I can flick each one with my tongue
before suckling it deep into my mouth.
Once again, I shift forward to kiss you,
this time letting my mouth rest firmly on yours,
using my tongue to open your lips,
and I let your tongue dance with mine,
drawing yours urgently into my mouth,
gasping as I imagine you entering me in a similar fashion below.
Breaking the kiss, you feel my weight leave the bed.
For a moment, you sense nothing,
until you feel a warm wetness trickle onto your right shoulder
and continue down the inside of your right arm.
A slightly spicy vanilla scent reaches your nostrils
just before you feel my hands begin to massage the oil into your shoulder.
My firm hands loosen the muscles in the shoulder and up the side of your neck,
before dragging down your upper arm, tracing the separation of bicep and triceps,
