The Man in the Cloth Mask
©2001 by Sir Render
As her husband secured the soft fabric cuffs around her wrists to the corner bed posts, Renee Tan shifted nervously. Tonight was to be their first attempt at sexual experimentation and Renee was not quite sure what to expect.
Nathan, her husband of two years, had been slightly startled when she had asked him to devise a sexual scenario so bold and risky that it would change the way they thought about making love. She wanted him to surprise her and break the routine into which they had fallen. They made love once a week, with a quickie or two in the evening now and then, but the magic they had experienced as newlyweds had faded months ago. Renee always knew what to expect from her lover and he knew too well what she was willing to do in return. Rekindling their passion would require an event so drastically different that it would push their boundaries to the point of breaking in order to find new thrills.
All the while, Nathan bit on his lower lip while securing his wife to their bed. He was no longer certain he wanted to go through with this.
It might frighten his lovely wife and it might destroy their marriage if it did not go exactly as planned. But she had asked for something drastic and completely unlike their usual routine, and she would have it.
Renee clutched an electronic noisemaker in her left hand; one of those with four small buttons which each produce a different sound effect. One in particular was a high pitched siren, and Nathan had instructed Renee to press that button the moment she wanted him to untie her. She has replied that most likely would not be necessary, but he was insistent and so she accepted the trinket to put his mind at ease and keep him from chewing his lip off.
Once Renee's wrists were secured, Nathan moved to the foot of the bed and secured her ankles in like fashion to the corner posts at the foot of their queen sized bed. She lay stretched tight across the light blue satin sheets. She had never been restrained (this much) during sex and figured this was her husband's brilliant scheme. At best, she guessed, he would perform some light s&m with hot wax from a candle and some playful light spanking. Nonetheless, she was anxious to see, and more importantly to feel, his plan take form.
Nathan went around the bed making sure all the bonds were snug, but not so much as to completely restrict his wife's movement nor to cut off her circulation. The last thing he wanted was to have to untie her in the middle of sex to rub her extremities to get the blood flowing. He ever so lightly brushed her naked skin with his fingertips. Renee thought she felt him tremble, but that may have been her own excitement getting the better of her.
"My sweet, sweet Renee. I have such fun planned for you tonight. I only wish... I only hope you will cherish me all the more after this." Nathan's voice was soft and carried a note of concern. That was not like him at all, which added to Renee's anticipation. She squirmed as a slight sensual tremor ran down her spine. It was that same feeling that overtook her when having her hair cut by the gentle hands of a professional hair stylist. It left her feeling genuinely good all over but not satisfied.
"And don't forget about that siren. The instant that you want this to end, just press the third button and I will untie you. Please don't worry about hurting my feelings. I'd rather see you safe and comfortable than suffering through an anxiety attack."
Nathan lightly traced Renee's small nipples with his forefingers before faintly tracing a meandering line down her belly with his fingernails.
At the apex of her short, plump legs, he tenderly scratched her pubic mound through her tiny blonde hairs. She squirmed again as that same sensual tremor ran up her spine.
"Whatever happens tonight," Nathan breathed, "remember that I love you dearly." With that, he turned to the large window to Renee's left and slid it open. A cool October breeze fluttered the white curtains and chilled Renee's bare skin. She shivered and watched her husband step to the bedroom door, open it, and exit the room. She was left, tied naked to their four post bed, with the bedroom window wide open. Her naughty side reveled in the knowledge that she might be seen like this by a neighbor and her sensible side made her afraid of the same possibility.
She didn't mind being seen naked or partially naked by total strangers whom she would never meet again, but it was so wickedly dirty to show off for your neighbors. Rumors would spread and someone might get it in their head that she was inviting them to partake of her, which she absolutely was not. She was a faithful wife who merely liked to play and to tease other men.
