***************
When Hannah was alive she was a real danger to my life. She nearly killed me so many times that I lost count. Now she is dead I thought I was safe. Now I'm not so sure ...
***************
Hannah was a big girl. I'm not that small but she was nearly a head taller and weighed nearly half as much again as I did. She was big but her weight was muscle.
At first the disparity in our sizes didn't bother me. When we first met I was more attracted by the way she dressed. She wore large flowing skirts that moved even when she was standing still. When we danced her skirts flared around me. I could just see over her shoulder when dancing but the other dancers kept clear. A collision with Hannah might be painful.
When we had met a few times I asked her out. She was fun to be with and had a great sense of humour. Gradually we became a couple and we spent most of our time together. Hannah was sometimes embarrassingly affectionate and clung to me as if I was a lifeline. I thought that this was because she had lost her parents when she was in her teens and had no living relations. Apart from me she was totally alone in the world. With me, she shared my circle of friends and met my relations.
There was one incident shortly after we became lovers that disturbed me. In retrospect I saw it as the first sign that something was wrong with our relationship. At the time it was just a trivial incident that seemed a variation of our love making.
We were out for the evening at a friend's birthday party. We expected it to be crowded and that there would be no dancing. Hannah wore an evening dress that she liked but was very different from her usual party clothes. The dress was a long sheath of nylon lined jersey/lycra mix in a faintly shimmering lilac. The long sleeves were satin in a deeper lilac. The dress had a fairly high neckline and long back zip. It fitted Hannah so closely that I had to zip it up for her. I have described the dress in such detail because of its importance in the later events.
Hannah looked wonderful in that dress. It emphasised her curves without making her look as large as she is. But that evening she damaged it. We were leaving the party and coming down the steps from the front door. Hannah missed her footing and stumbled. I was slightly in front of her. I caught most of her weight but she pushed out her foot to regain her balance. The dress tore along a seam from hem to mid-calf.
"Oh s**t!" Hannah shouted.
She turned her head to look down at the damage.
"How bad is it, Simon?" she asked anxiously.
I peered at the tear.
"I can't really tell in this light, Hannah. It looks as if the seam has split but we really need a closer look where we can see."
"OK, Simon. Let's go."
We went back to her house. I unzipped the dress. I made coffee in the kitchen. Hannah went up to her bedroom and returned wearing a night-dress and carrying the evening dress over her arm.
"I think you are overdressed, Simon. I am only wearing a flimsy night-dress and you are fully dressed. That won't do."
She put the evening dress on the kitchen table and came towards me. We made a game of her stripping me as I tried to protect my modesty. We enjoyed ourselves. I was left with just my boxer shorts.
As we drank the coffee Hannah looked carefully at the tear in her evening dress. She showed it to me. The material had torn beside the seam. The lining was still intact but the repair would not be easy. Hannah started to pin the tear together but stopped.
"Simon, the flare of the lower skirt means I can't see how this should go. Can you help?"
"Yes, Hannah, but how? I'm no good at sewing."
"I want you to be a mannequin."
"What?" I asked.
"I want you to put the dress on so I can see how the material hangs. Then I can tack it together and see if the damage is repairable."
I took several minutes to persuade. After a few kisses and hugs I reluctantly agreed. The first attempt was a failure. I'm so much slighter than Hannah. My shoulders weren't wide enough and the dress slipped to one side or the other. Hannah stood back and looked at me carefully before announcing:
"There is one way it might work ..."
"There is?"
"I think so, Simon. We'll get the dress off first."
She unzipped me and started to lifted the dress. The nylon lining had stuck to me.
"Blast!" she said "I wear a long poly-cotton slip under this. I left it upstairs."
She peeled the dress off and over my head. Then she closed the back zip and neck on the empty dress.
"Please turn with your back to me." Hannah asked.
Then she threw the dress over my head and pulled it down firmly with my arms trapped inside the bodice. The nylon lining and the lycra mix squeezed my arms. I could wriggle my fingers but otherwise I was helpless. Hannah swung me round and kissed me.
"It won't take long, Simon. Just stand still."
She was wrong. The dress was far too long. The hem splayed around my feet. It was ankle length on Hannah when she wore heels.
Hannah pushed a kitchen stool into the centre of the kitchen. She lifted me on to it. The dress fell around the stool.
"Keep still."
I did. There was no way I could save myself if I wobbled. Hannah tacked the tear with thread. She finished by snipping the end with her teeth.
"There. That should do. The tear won't go any further. I'll take it to the cleaners on Monday and ask them to repair it."
She looked up at me.
"Now what shall I do with you? You deserve a reward."
She picked me up, slung me over her shoulders and carried me up to her bedroom. She lowered me to the bed.
"Lie there and I'll come to you."
I didn't have much choice. I might be able to roll off the bed but that was all.
Hannah took off her night-dress. She pulled my head between her naked breasts and rubbed them over my face. I tried to ask to be released but my open mouth was stuffed full of a breast. I relaxed and tongued the nipple. Hannah moaned happily and pushed her breast further in.
For the next few hours she used her breasts and pussy on my face. I worried that her movements became stronger as she climaxed over and over again. With each of her orgasms I was fiercely clamped to her.
In the early hours of the morning she peeled the now sweat-sodden dress of me before she rode me to release. I fell asleep wrapped by her legs and cradled against a breast.
Most of that night had been enjoyable but I faintly resented being so helpless and used by her. We resumed our normal lovemaking in the weeks that followed. My resentment gradually faded. The dress was mended but the damage was still faintly visible. Whenever she wore that dress I felt slightly uncomfortable without knowing why.
Hannah almost became part of my family but something held me back from making the final commitment of marriage. There was just something about Hannah, a small cloud on the horizon. I wanted to know her better before proposing. Now I know that the complete helplessness I had experienced when trapped in her evening dress was bothering me. Then it was just a vague unease.
She sensed my reluctance and suggested that I moved in with her for a trial period. We had spent weekends together and she was very persuasive. I agreed that we should try three months together. I let my flat for the summer holidays and moved into Hannah's house which she had inherited from her parents.
We slept together in a massive four poster bed. It even had heavy red velvet curtains that we could draw to shut out daylight. That bed was our refuge from the world and a wonderful place to be until ...
We had been living together for about a month when one night Hannah turned to me and said:
"Simon, tonight I'd like to try something different."
"Yes, Hannah. What do you want to try?"
"I'd like to try some mild bondage."
I must have shown some concern.
"Not on you, silly," she said "on me. I'm so much bigger than you that I seem to be taking the initiative all the time. But if I were tied up then YOU would be in control. The idea excites me."
"If that's what you want, Hannah. If we are going to try bondage then we should have a control word so that you can let me know if you REALLY want to be released."
"I suppose so, Simon."
"I think it is essential. Any ideas for the word?"
