I was having more and more trouble sleeping. I was setting a new record every day for being in my and Louise's torturous edging session was still reverberating through my body. Monday morning I caught up on things at my house and scheduled some regular massage clients for the week. I heard a car in my driveway and realized it was time for Louise and I to go to Gillian's for our weekly session. I walked out to driveway and took the wheel for the trip. Louise was texting and doing things on her phone and we didn't talk much.
Gillian greeted us and she took Louise into her office to discuss today's plan. I stripped and knelt in Waiting Position in the corner. They seemed to be discussing the session for a long time. Louise came out and instructed me to go talk to Gillian. I went to her office and she motioned me to a chair. It felt a little odd to be sitting in a chair facing her. I was used to be nude and collared around her but usually that was in a scene. This felt like an employee review or being sent to the principal. I was a little self conscious, oddly.
"I want to make sure you are in a good space, Tim. Louise says you are having more a relationship?"
"Yes. I think it is moving that way," I replied.
"And are you okay with that? You're not just being swept up in her explorations?"
I knew what she was asking about. In massage school they talk a lot about transference and people getting feelings for the therapist or client.
"I'm definitely enjoying her journey," I said. "But I think I the path we are taking is good. It does feel like we are becoming more than just client and...whatever I am. Massage therapist or service bottom."
Gillian gave me a long searching look.
"Okay for now. Maybe you and I should get together once in a while. Just for coffee and talk. I want to make sure you are good."
"I'd like that," I replied.
"I also want to make sure you are good with today's session. Louise wants to flog and paddle you enough to leave marks. I need to know what is acceptable to you, if you consent to that and what your limits are. And if you say you are ok with whatever she wants, then I'm ending this session. I need to know what you need."
I nodded.
"I want to be pushed," I said. "I need to find my limits. All my play in the past has been fun, but no one ever really challenged me before. She is challenging me and I want more of that. She made me use my safe word on Saturday."
I described to Gillian how Louise had tormented me with her hands and how I had to tap out to avoid orgasming.
"And you consent to having her take you to your safe word? By flogging or paddling?"
"I do."
"And you consent to her leaving marks on your body?"
"I do, on parts that are covered by regular clothes. Back, ass, thighs."
"Ok. Let's go."
Gillian and I went into the session room and Louise was looking over the collection of paddles, floggers, whips and canes. Gillian asked where she wanted to start, and Louise said she wanted me in the Saint Andrews Cross."
I stood against the cross and Louise attached my wrist and ankles to it. She pressed her body against my back and kissed me gently on the cheek. She went back to the table and discussed the toys with Gillian. Gillian explained that everyone needed to warm up, especially me. I needed to be given time to get into sub space. Somebody hit me with something. It felt like multiple whips, like a soft cat of nine tails. It didn't hurt badly but it still made me jump. Louise established a pattern and the strikes came regularly. She varied the rhythm and intensity and the sensation built up. I was reacting to the strikes, even though they weren't particularly painful. Louise let the strikes slow and then stop and they went back to the table. With a loud slap, a flogger hit my ass. That one stung. Gillian directed her to go slower this time. The impacts were more intense and approaching painful. Louise moved the strikes around so that my entire ass was on fire. I was squirming against the St Andrews Cross and gasping at each impact. Gillian instructed Louise to stop and do a check in. She walked around the cross so she could see my face.
"Are you doing okay, darling?"
I nodded.
"Shall I continue?"
I nodded.
Louise shook her head.
"Say it," she said.
"Please Goddess, may I have some more."
