I was lying on my bed and struggling not to bite my nails. What had been such a wonderful evening, such an exciting journey down the rabbit hole, had suddenly turned sour and into an emotional nightmare. I wanted to sob in desperation, to shout and throw things against the wall, because I was filled with a rage that was targeted at myself. I had let myself get carried away and hurt the one woman I had only recently, but all the more intensely, grown to love.
There couldn't have been any hot water left for the rest of the building when Anne returned. I feigned sleep, but even through the small, blurry slits, I noticed how red and swollen her eyes were. Her wet hair was sticking to her head, and the towel she had wrapped around her body was precariously close to slipping. The pattering of her feet stopped in the middle of the room, and I got a slightly better look at her.
The vulnerability in her eyes was something I had not encountered before, and it made my breath hitch. For a short moment, I could imagine our roles reversed, and I recognized the fascination that would come with the power of such a fragile creature, the sweetness of the tears and the gift of submission. I knew deep down that I couldn't do that, that dominating another was as far from my nature as could be. But I recognized it no less, found parts of my own insecurities mirrored on her face, and perhaps I could make amends for having started the drama.
"Mistress?"
Her head whipped around and I watched the muscles in her face tighten. "Yes?"
"Will you let me please you tonight?"
The slight sagging of her shoulders told me that she was fighting an internal struggle. "I'm not sure. I'm not sure about many things, right now."
"Shit. Anne - Mistress Summers!" My eyes found hers, and I laid all the desperation and guilt I felt into the look. My vision threatened to blur, but I thought I saw her face softening when she took a hesitant step towards me.
She used to be more decisive than that, though. "Please!" I pushed away the blanket to give her an added incentive. "I can see that you need it. Let me kiss it better, let me begin to make it up for my slip-ups. Please let me worship your body and give you a nice dream. I love you."
The way her lips formed a small "O," the way her shoulders straightened again, the way her eyes widened and started to glint was like balm to my soul. With a few, dedicated steps she was at my side, the towel dropping to the floor, and her palms encased my cheeks.
"Oh you cute, silly thing. How can I resist you like that?" The kiss she gave me made me swoon. It was gentle at first, full of love and wonder, lips caressing and softly nibbling, but then the need bled into it and became a river, and her tongue and mouth conquered me, satiny touches and sweet tastes stirred with greedy laps and bites. She sank to the bed next to me. "I love you too, my pet."
I slid down all the way to the foot end of the bed and began to put tiny kisses on the soles of her feet, alternating sides, her small purrs of pleasure soon rewarding me. I kissed every inch of her feet, then slowly made my way up her ankles and shins. When I reached her thighs, her breathing grew faster and her legs parted to allow me easier access. I fought the feelings that were welling up inside me and took my time, enjoying every small gasp and little tremor my lips managed to evoke.
The first touch of my tongue to her pussy lips made her gasp louder. When I pushed it into her folds her body arched. I looked up at her face and saw her close her eyes in an expression of deep concentration. I licked her slowly, almost painstakingly for me and probably for her too. Stroking the soft skin at the top of her thighs with my fingertips made her twitch; tracing the outline of her pussy lips with my nails made her strain to meet my touch.
But I kept my touches light, wanting to draw out and intensify the pleasure for her. The way she was moaning and writhing below me, it was apparently working, and I felt a deep satisfaction with every audible expression of increasingly needful pleasure I could elicit. Her hands gripped the bed sheet and pulled and twisted. Finally, she couldn't take any more.
"Lick my clit; lick it, now, please!" Her words were little more than a drawn out moan.
I complied, parting her pussy lips with my fingers and painting soft circles on her clit with the tip of my tongue. Her breathing almost stopped for half a minute. All her muscles started to tighten and her whole body started to tremble. Small, almost painful sounding groans with a rising pitch told me she was getting close to her release. I wet my lips and softly sucked at her nub. That did it.
Her body arched like a bow, and then almost unintelligible moans of "oh god" and "yes" filled the air for a minute while her body twisted and shook and I had to hold on for dear life.
I crawled up again, smiling when I saw the sad look gone from her eyes.
"Your turn, you little tease," she whispered, her hand brushing over my stomach.
I shook my head and cuddled against her side, resting my head in the crook of her shoulder. "Just hold me. I want this moment to be all about you."
She caressed my cheek. "But aren't you horny?"
I giggled lightly and draped my arm over her chest. "Horny as hell. Almost painfully so."
"And you don't want release?"
"Believe me, I do. But as I said, I want this to be about what you want, and what you need, not about my own needs."
"Oh god, be careful what you offer. I might just take you up and expand on it."
"What do you mean?"
"Wouldn't it be delicious if I kept you horny like this, for days and days, letting you pleasure me in all kinds of ways, but not allowing you your own relief?"
The idea was terrifying. And wicked. And exciting as hell. My pussy twitched, and I could see in her eyes that she had noticed the rocking motion of my pelvis. Her smile was lopsided and sinister, making me want to kiss her and kneel at her feet at the same time.
"If it pleases you, Mistress."
"Oh it will," she chuckled, "believe me, it will. I'll make you tremble from head to toe with need, until you can't think straight. And then you'll lick me while I decide whether I allow you to come or not."
"Oh my god," I whispered and pressed myself closer to her body.
"Sleep well, my pet." The touch of her lips on my forehead felt like it would burn through my skin.
"Sleep well, my Mistress, and have the sweetest dreams."
