You're nowhere. You drift, lost and untethered. There was a word, a word with power, but you can't remember it. You can't remember anything.
You're here. You slip back into your body and its senses. Darkness. Silence. Warmth. Soft fabric against your skin and the faint scent of lavender in your nose.
You open your eyes, but the darkness reveals nothing to your straining eyes.
Your body feels good. Rested. Relaxed. Comfortable. You're lying on your back on a soft surface. Light fabric covers you, gently caressing your skin as it softly clings to you. You are completely naked beneath it. All you can hear in the silence is your own heartbeat.
With a start, you realize your hands and feet are tied. Your arms and legs are spread wide. If this is a bed, each of your limbs must be anchored toward a corner. You pull against the padded bonds and suspect you could get free if you really wanted to. You don't want to. Not yet.
You take a deep breath. Your nipples tighten as they press against the sheet and a hint of warmth flashes between your legs.
You detect another presence in the room.
"Hello?" you call out.
The only answer is the sound of movement.
Did someone stand up?
Your heart pounds in your chest.
"Answer me!" you say.
"Hello," a deep male voice answers. You don't recognize it.
"Who are you?" you ask. There is no answer. You try another question. "Where am I?"
"Here," the voice answers.
"What are you going to do to me?" you ask, less worry in your voice than you expected.
"Whatever you ask of me."
"What if I want to leave?" you ask.
"Do you want to leave?"
You almost answer yes, but something holds you back.
Why don't you want to leave? Why aren't you fighting to get out of these bonds? Why are you so curious?
"What do you want?" you ask.
Silence. You start to think he won't answer, but then he responds with one word.
"You."
A wave of warmth flows between your legs. You are very wet. You don't understand it, but you want him too, whoever he is.
"Show yourself," you say.
A match strikes in the darkness. His body is between you and the flame, but you see a stone wall framing the dark silhouette of his back as he lights a candle. He is tall, with broad shoulders and long hair. He wears nothing, and there is just enough light for you to see his muscular bottom. Slowly he turns toward you, but instead of looking at his face your gaze is lower. You glimpse a shape curving down in the shadows, and then he is facing you. You look up, and see he wears a simple black mask over his eyes. He has a strong chin and a determined mouth, but none of his features look familiar.
You almost tell him to take the mask off. You're certain he would, if you told him, but you already know what you want. You look back down between his legs. You want to see him grow hard. Hard for you. You want to show yourself to him.
"Pull this sheet off me," you say.
Without a word he takes a step toward the bed. You asked him to, but you still you feel nervous at his approach. The blood is pounding in your ears.
He stands at the foot of the bed, staring at you. Your hard nipples poke through the sheets. Slowly, he starts to pull the sheet down. The fabric sends sparks of sensation over your skin as it moves, your nipples feeling electrified by the gentle movement. Just before your breasts are uncovered, he stops.
Is he teasing you? Is he giving you another chance to stop this madness? You don't care.
"Don't stop," you say.
You feel the sheet resume moving, but even slower. At last your nipples are revealed in the soft candle light, and you gasp to feel them bared. Your breasts look amazing and you can sense his eyes on you, the weight of his gaze pressing on your chest.
Looking down, in the shadows between his legs, you can see his cock growing at the sight of you. You want him to see more. More warmth flows between your legs. You don't know where this is going, but you don't want to stop.
The sheet keeps moving down, the friction delicious on your skin. Your belly is bared. The sheet keeps moving. Any moment your pussy will be revealed to this mystery man, and he will see how wet you are.
Again, the sheet stops. You feel the edge of the sheet just barely covering the top of your cleft. He's giving you another chance to stop, but you don't want it.
"Keep going," you say, your voice confident.
The sheet tickles as it moves. You tense in anticipation, your eyes locked on his shadowy cock. The sheet moves slowly, and you feel your arousal drip down onto the bed. The sheet keeps moving, and then the shadow between his legs jumps. He has seen your open pussy, wet with desire, glistening in the candle light.
His gaze is locked between your legs as he slowly pulls the sheet farther down. With every inch more of you that is revealed to him, you see the shadow between his legs rise higher, and higher.
Finally, the sheet is off. You are entirely exposed before him. His eyes take in your beauty, all of it. The mask does not conceal his hunger. You know he has never experienced desire this strong. As his greedy gaze takes in the sight of your luscious sensuality, your need grows desperate.
"Touch me," you whisper.
He continues staring at you for a second, and then he turns away. The disappointment is devastating. Your body can't help but writhe against the restraints, seeking in vain for something, anything to touch you. But then he's back, standing over you. The disappointment in your heart is replaced by hopeful anticipation. He places a small bowl between your legs and dips his fingers in it.
If only he would touch you...
His hands are on each of your feet. Warm, strong, with a firm grip. His thumbs massage oil into the bottoms of your feet and you feel the pleasure flow up through your legs. Each of your toes gets attention as his hands work upward, now on the tops of your feet. Now your ankles. His fingers explore your skin, learning every contour, leaving a trail of satisfied flesh in their wake.
As his hands stroke your calves, your leg muscles stretch under his touch, and relax. The oil makes your skin even more hungry for his touch. He's at your knees, and he strokes up the outside of your thighs. You spread your legs as far apart as the bonds will allow, desperate to open yourself to him. His hands move back down to your knees, and now they move up the insides of your thighs. You feel another wave of warm arousal flow out of you in anticipation, but at the last second his hands veer up and over the outside of your hips.
He holds your hips tightly as he climbs up the bed. He kneels between your legs, and you see his cock straining with desire for you. It is hard and demanding, yet also vulnerable. You sense the power you have over him. He's a stranger to you, a mystery, and yet you know his deepest secret: You are all that he desires. You want to touch his cock, to feel his need beneath your fingers, but your hands remain tied.
His hands resume their journey up your body. They gently press into your belly. Now they surround your ribs. Your nipples tighten, and your breasts seem to pull themselves up from your chest. He waits.
