Meeting David (who had previously been known to me only as the "Innocent, Corn-Fed Muscle Boy from Eau Claire") was a slightly unreal experience. For the first time since plotting out the upcoming weekend with Diane, I experienced a real sense of indecision. Did I really want to go through with this?
I shook his hand, nearly twice the size of mine, looked into his smiling face and clear, blue eyes, and asked him his name again, stalling for time. He laughed heartily, repeated it, and slid into the booth. I waved the waitress over to our table. We ordered coffee and pie, and she flirted briefly with him before wiggling her way back to the small counter where she prepared everything herself. I couldn't blame her for flirting, David was everything Diane had said he was. An easy, boyish charm, blond hair, short enough to not need more than a shake to look good but long enough to dance on his head when he laughed.
Even his clothes bespoke a welcoming "hello". Comfortable cut jeans, black boots, and a standard white cotton dress shirt, sleeves rolled up and collar open. No jewelry, just tanned and toned flesh. Amazing. Did I really want to corrupt this boy? I guess at 26, he wasn't technically a "boy" but everything about him seemed SO young.
"So," I began, "did you read everything I put in that last email?"
He nodded.
"And you're sure you want to go through with this?"
David squirmed in his seat just a bit. "I have to say that...I guess I'm mostly curious. Anal sex. Wow!"
I smiled, sat back in the booth just a little, and nodded. "I know. From everything she told me, and from what you've said yourself, the sex was pretty vanilla. Intense, but just a happy ride-em-cowboy kind of thing."
David laughed. "She's a helluva rider, I'll tell you that. Damn near worked me to death!"
"She told me you brought something out of her she didn't even know was there. It sounded pretty amazing."
"Yeah, she..." David paused while the waitress set the coffee and plates on the table. I'd ordered apple with melted cheese, he had rhubarb. "She tore the place up, nothing like I'd ever seen."
I took my fork to the pie, cutting a large chunk for myself, jabbed it, and enjoyed the texture of melted Wisconsin magic on my tongue.
Diane and I hadn't ever actually done it. Our few encounters in the past had consisted of bondage and spanking games, as well as some public edging with an RC vibrator. She'd been the first woman I'd taken a crop to and you never forget your first...
David's voice broke into my trip down memory lane. "I said, I don't find it TOO hard to believe she likes it that way, but it's still a surprise."
"Well, I'm just glad my email didn't scare you off. She really wants to see you again, and I promise I'll not stay in the room any longer than the two of you are comfortable with."
I watched David eat his pie for the next few minutes in silence. This was strange territory for him. I could tell that. Especially that I was the one setting it up, not Diane. But I could also tell that the emails I'd sent had strung him along at just the right pace. He'd show up. No doubt, he was planning right now how to most politely get me out of the room so he could be alone with her. But he'd show up. And that was all I needed.

Diane took another drink from the water bottle I held to her lips. I stroked her hair with my free hand, she raised her eyes and looked at me. I smiled, wiped the water that had dribbled down her chin and leaned forward to give her a little kiss.
"How are we feeling?"
She turned her face away. Immediately, I felt the same rush of anger that had been toying with me all afternoon. A dominant cannot afford to lose his temper, I knew that. I also knew that, whatever I might feel in an individual moment, there wasn't any chance of that happening. And the anger itself felt good. It fed something inside me, an ember that Diane's boyfriend in Madison had been fanning in me for the last several weeks.
"Oh, Diane, that is so impolite," I taunted. "I think we need to adjust things a bit." She raised her head slightly, eyes following me as I stepped away from her and toward the cups. I poured a bit of the water from the bottle into each of the two cups. Diane bit her lip and rose up on her toes, trying to relieve the tension a bit.
The two cups were only about a third full of water. Each was tied to the end of a long string, which in turn was threaded through a pulley secured to the ceiling. The other end of the string was connected to a simple nipple clamp which was, of course, connected to Diane. I continued pouring until each cup was one-half full and Diane's eyes were squeezed shut tight.
"Now, I know you are not going to cum - I've finally accepted that - but I am going to turn on the vibrator anyway." I pressed the button on the RC setting on the table among the crops, paddles, and other toys. Her knees trembled slightly and I heard her moan.
"You know, you have your friend in Madison to blame for this," I whispered into her ear. "The other times we were together, I was so, so focused on making it mutually enjoyable..." I walked slowly around her, my fingers lightly touching her naked body, here and there, gently, gently. She quivered, her flesh responding to even the smallest contact. It fascinated me how her body reacted so willingly, so hungrily, even though both of us knew she couldn't cum.
"While I understood your need for humiliation and restraint, I still worked within the framework of mutuality." I kept my voice a flat drone. With her, at least, it had the effect of calming and soothing her, while at the same time implying menace just around each corner. Many of our early sessions had been over the telephone - later, voice-over the net - and I'd learned where her aural buttons were. There was a particular cadence, a certain softness to which I'd learned she responded especially well.
Her belly quivered and her breathing quickened as I turned off the RC unit, slid the vibrator aside, and pushed my finger between her moist lips. I penetrated her with just my fingertip. After a few seconds, I sank deeper into her and she arched her back, gasped as her motion pulled the strings taut and yanked her nipples.
I pulled my finger out of her, turned again, then put the palms of my hands under the cups. I lifted them. The strings went slack and Diane nearly fell forward, staggering between relief from the pain and losing her balance.
I raised the cups a few inches. "It would be so awful if I just dropped these again, wouldn't it?" I asked softly. Her eyes widened. I put both cups in my left hand, picked up the water bottle with my right. "Or if I filled them to the top, then dropped them?" Diane relaxed slightly, feet flat on the ground, taking advantage of this slight respite to rest her aching calf and leg muscles. Her eyes were glued to the cups.
"Your stories enticed me, you know. If you hadn't told me about him giving you to others, I might never have spent all that time figuring out who he was."
"How...how did you know?" she muttered through barely moving lips.
"It was 2001. Sometime in April. So that's what, over six years ago?" I tapped the bottle against the edge of one of the cups. "You mentioned to me that you'd met someone new online. And in a terrible, terrible breach of etiquette, you gave me his email id."
She raised her dropping eyelids. "I would never..."
"Well, no, not exactly. It was more of a series of small oversights on your part. In one email, you mentioned where he worked, in another, something about an award he'd received. Very vague, but I knew it was a Friday in May and the ceremony began at 7:30. That kind of thing. Then, in a chat, a final clue about his family status. Not much to go on, but the Internet is amazing." I pressed the lip of the bottle lightly against her belly. "Truly amazing. A set of initials here, an awards newsletter there, a university class schedule and - magic! - I narrowed it down to about half a dozen possibles." The bottle moved slowly down her belly toward her crotch. "A few emails, a few dropped hints, and I hit pay-dirt."
I raised the bottle to her lips. "Time for a little more ballast, Diane." I pushed it between her lips and tilted the bottle back. She didn't swallow and the water ran down her chin and neck.
"I know what you're trying to do," she whispered.
"Then you know I've largely already accomplished it, don't you?" I answered. I gently lowered the cups, letting the strings grow slowly taut until they were again swinging freely on their own. Diane's hands were still tied behind her back, box style. She kept her feet flat on the carpet this time, she was adjusting to the pain. I smiled. We had all day.
I pushed the bottle back into her mouth. She resisted and I pushed my thumb against her cheek. Her teeth parted and I quickly filled her mouth with water. She sputtered but drank most of it. I kept pouring and she stopped resisting. Another few ounces. I smiled.
"Well, let's get you all adjusted," I said, reaching between her legs to reposition the RC vibrator where it would do the most good. I stepped back a few feet, settled into the armchair and stared at her.
It had been frustrating, those first two times, working so hard on her and never seeing her cum. Only in the last hours of our second visit had she explained that she had a very hard time and nearly never did. She'd never bothered with therapy, it didn't seem to bother her much. But, to me it was an incredible let down.
Since then, we'd hardly spoken or even swapped email for nearly a year. There really was no point. No harm, no foul, but I wasn't interested anymore. That moment of abandon and surrender was the center for me. Everything else was play, variations on a theme, experimenting with the thousands of ways to get her there. But she had to get there.
Then, out of the blue, she sent me a short paragraph describing one of her latest encounters. She'd evolved into a plaything for her Madison connection. And worse - or better, depending on how you looked at it - he wasn't the one doing the playing. He'd been pimping her out to a series of deviants who'd been using her and - from the stories she told - they were using harder and harder than I'd ever considered.
