Master Geoff and I discovered yet another gorgeous high desert day awaiting us as we ran: it seemed as if we were running to meet the sunrise. The ink black slopes slowly took definition from the top down. The snow capped mountains were the first to meet the morning; they accepted the softest hint of pink only to have it deepened with dapples of oranges and russets highlighted with yellows and whites and shaded with grays.
The kaleidoscope took deep dark shadows and turned them into a myriad of dark greens balanced with shades of browns and grays. You could almost see Mother Nature yawning and flexing her arms as she awoke to meet the new day. In the blink of an eye she was dressed for the day; we squinted in her sudden brightness. Everything smelled dewy fresh as if Mother had renewed herself overnight. The pine-scented air was clean and fresh, laced with natural earthy musk undertones. It energized us. We smiled at each other. Sometimes it still surprised me that I could smile.
āSunrises were made for sharing, thanks for letting me share this one,ā I said breathlessly. I laughed aloud as Master stumbled. He smiled indulgently. āCome on, race you to the big rock,ā I said sprinting away. I felt young and happy.
Of course, I was properly attired for a slave slut out for a run, just expensive cross-trainers worn with fuchsia socks and matching sports bra. Master was extremely concerned about my breastsā health, hence the bra. It really was an oxymoron because he was the first to abuse my nipples when it suited him. Oh, but he could make me wet.
Well of course, I wore the collar and leash of a sub slave, but that went without saying.
From my first day of captivity, Iād enjoyed running with Master, it became our juxtaposition to build our relationship upon. Initially it was my only chance to be virtually unrestrained despite the fact that I was always collared and leashed. It was a most humiliating experience to realize that I sported a leash just like my dog had back home. Now I understood what my old running mate felt and it saddened me. I was not proud of my past actions. I promised myself I would never collar or leash Buster again, if I was only granted the chance to see my Saint Bernard again.
It was worth being non-confrontational with my captor just to be able to run free and view these vistas. After all his route beat my asphalt course all to hell even if I had to wear virtually nothing. As I ran, I mused about the fact that this same sun was bathing my children. My runs were both exhilarating and bittersweet.
It had been while on a run that Master Geoff first displayed his tender side; it was subsequent to my first bad tumble. I remember the warmth that radiated through me when Master suddenly and gently kissed my skinned palm all better. It was as if with that simple gesture he was attempting to heal my broken heart.
To my surprise, he adjusted our running regime after Iād talked about how I used to run hard one way and then walk back smelling the proverbial roses. I appreciated his caring gesture. The quiet times as we walked back became our special juncture; he actually encouraged flirtation and kibitzing as if we were two equals out on a date. Master appeared different at those times more relaxed; though I still hated him. They always say thereās only a fine line between love and hate and soon my hate battled with my heart and I hated myself for giving into his charms.
That pretty day, I knew I was actually back to my old self, my pre-accident self. I made a conscious effort to think of it only as an accident not a kidnapping because I couldnāt yet deal with the sinister connotations of my capture. I knew the moment I opened my eyes, the old me was back. All my aches and pains were gone and my nipple wounds were healed. I noticed as I quickly ran the comb through my hair before our run that my eyes were clear and sparkling again. The bags were gone, the sooty grayness erased. It seemed strange that almost overnight I was back to feeling well again, but I guess thatās how it happens sometimes.
Master Geoff must have noticed it to because he never took his eyes off me as we ran our two and a half miles. I laughed right out loud when he dropped back so he could enjoy the view of my ass cheeks flexing as I ran. I couldnāt help but give him an extra little wiggle here and there. As he ran up beside me he gave my ass the hardest slap imaginable. But for his steadying hand, I would have tumbled over my feet. He pulled me tight to his sweaty chest and he kneaded my ass. For the first time, we shared a delightful sensuous reciprocal kiss. For a moment, I almost felt his equal. Almost. I wondered if my life was about to take another twist.
My Master was mercurial. He was the most terrifying human one moment and the most tender the next. Needless to say I walked on egg shells all the time as I attempted how to learn his moods and figure out my role. But I had discovered it wasnāt necessarily that he was moody but more he wanted to keep me off balance. He reveled in my discomfort.
