My eyelids had closed automatically when he kissed me goodnight, but I fought sleep for as long as I could. The nightmares caught me eventually, though, as they always do.

They drag me back to the cold metal table. Back to the blazing lights overhead, silhouetted forms of men above me, black shadows against the bright white.
They hold me down under the light. I scream and kick, but they grab hold of my legs and take them away. Gone.
I try to claw them with my hands, to shield myself with my arms. They take those, too.
I desperately bite at their fingers as they cut away my voice, but they have already taken my teeth. I am silent.
Much later, they aren't holding me down anymore. Instead, two heavy weights on my chest pin me to the table just as effectively. I suck air through my mouth, now a tight wet tube capped by lips both plump and coy. I watch the huge mounds on chest rise and fall but not enough makes it to my constricted lungs. I can't breathe. My thighs flail, beating my useless stumps on the table. I can't-

I woke sobbing. Or, trying to. My brain sent the signals but my body did not respond. A subtle, soundless waver in my breathing was the only result. No tears from eyes that could not even open until he kissed me good morning. The nightmare quickly faded, as it always does, leaving only the terror and a vague memory.
He suddenly squeezed me tight and my quivering breath caught. He could be so kind when I was in one of my bleak moments. Positively doting, when he noticed. Had he understood, somehow, that I desperately needed to be comforted now?
But no...it was not empathy that provoked this embrace. He was nestled in the cleft of my rump, sleepily grinding himself against my silky skin. I felt a flash of frustration cut through the lingering terror. No, that was wrong. I concentrated and melted the frustration into affection, instead. He *was* responding to me, after all, but he'd simply misunderstood the message. My thrashing at the nightmare must have translated to the one motion my body could still produce on command: a gentle rocking of my hips. Pressed against him as I was, he had felt my panicked kicks instead as sensual rubbing to coax him from his own dreams. The motion had stopped when I awoke, much to his apparent displeasure. He squeezed harder, increasing the friction as he prodded forcefully down below. Just once, as a crude command. He wanted me to do the work.
It took considerable concentration to do awake what I had done by accident asleep, but I forced my muscles to obey. Slowly, I pulled him up the full cleavage of my ample bottom, then tugged him back down the same path. He sighed and I felt his whole body relax as I took over the stroking. Back and forth. His breathing slowed until I was sure he had returned to a pleasant near-sleep. I kept up my steady rocking. Back and forth. It was easier now that I'd gotten the rhythm. Back and forth. So simple, the extent of his demands on me. Slowly my mind drifted towards examining the jumble of emotions I felt towards this man; my owner.
