HIS - Ch. 01
~~~~
Author's note
:
This story begins as a poem I previously published on LIT,
Becoming His - Pt. 01
. It continues here in prose.
To
briefly
summarize the poem, a woman with unfulfilled needs is mysteriously visited in her bedroom, in the night, by a man she doesn't know. She submits to his dominance as he removes her clothing and then his own. He holds her down and plays her body with hands skilled in touching a woman. Her intense orgasm is euphorically liberating. He only lets her touch his arm. Before leaving he places a collar around her neck, with a gold ring for attaching a leash or chain. There is no conversation.
The story continues one week later.
Ratings and public or private feedback appreciated.

When her phone 'dinged' with an incoming text, the screen said it was from "Him." It read, "tomorrow night" with an address in the country. "Him" could only be the man who came into her bedroom, pulled back her covers and clothes without asking, and brought her to orgasm with his hands. The most intense orgasm she'd experienced...well, ever. He must have entered the number in her phone as "Him" while she lay dazed, just after.
Her body reacted to the message. She turned liquid. Arousal spread through her veins like the burn of injected narcotic.
She didn't reply, but knew she'd go. Knowing she shouldn't. He told her to come - just like that? Unthinkable. She was an accomplished modern 'woman in full'. She ran an office design company - commandingly. It was a successful business she started herself and turned into a sector leader. On the side - no less - she owned an exclusive gallery. He didn't care about that. He desired her body, to use however he wished. Outrageous.
He wanted her for his base satisfaction. Her. And she felt grateful. Grateful? Part of her was shocked to feel gratitude. Her 'identity' part. But a newly revealed part of her, the part he touched that night, the part that was going this night, felt exquisitely helpless, rolling in powerful surf.
The address was an hour away, near a forested stretch of Lake Superior shore. In the dark she almost missed the end of his private road, only marked by a number. When she finally turned into it, her luxury SUV looked out of place. The road was an overgrown, bumpy two-track gravel trail that twisted for half a mile through the forest. The headlight hi-beams bounced out in front of the vehicle. They swept into the woods on the curves - starting to illuminate the unseen - before swinging back onto the drive. Too narrow to turn around. Too twisty to back out. It delivered her.
At the road's end, the forest opened to an imposing log lodge. Massive logs. The lodge stood on a stone foundation. No other cars were visible. Isolated. Light coming through the windows illuminated the surrounding forest, painting faces on tree trunks. The trees were silent giants watching her.
She felt the collar around her neck - uncharacteristically harsh and somehow soothing in the same moment. It was underneath a sweater much heavier than the temperature required. Still she shivered. Holding the steering wheel, looking straight ahead, she tried to calm herself. When she finally, hesitantly, climbed from the car she saw Him standing in the open doorway, silhouetted by the glow inside. Her eyes fixed on Him as she climbed the stone steps. Her legs seemed unwilling to flee. As if her body carried her to a fate while her mind watched. When she reached Him, He took her hand and led her inside.
Her actions seemed so foreign they numbed her. "
What am I doing
?" She questioned. She only knew his name from running a search on the address. The property was owned by an LLC but more research showed he was the sole member in the LLC. Gunnar Halvorsen. Once she had the name she researched him. He'd been a business litigator with a national reputation. He built a successful practice with more than twenty prohibitively expensive attorneys. Then, without explanation, He abruptly sold the practice and seemingly dropped off the face of the earth.
The largest law firm in the state was a client of hers so she called the managing partner there to ask about Halvorsen. He confirmed what she'd learned and then hit her with his own questions. "Where's he been? Is he still practicing law? Why'd he disappear, was he travelling? Is he starting a new firm?"
She answered that she didn't know. Said his name just, "happened to come up."
It was beyond shocking to learn the identity of the man who'd suddenly appeared in her bedroom. He'd touched her without permission. Intimately. For Christ Sake, he made her orgasm. It'd been too long since that had happened with any man, and the intensity of it was stunning, but it was wrong? Unreal. It still seemed unbelievable -- yet here she was.
She didn't shrink from any person and came with a myriad of questions that she was going to demand answers to. But somehow, on the long drive her resolve faded. She remembered how it felt when he touched her, made her body respond to him. He was different from any man she'd ever been with. He didn't ask or seek her permission or willingness. He wanted to undress her - and did. He wanted to touch her - and did. She remembered feeling weightless in that moment. As if the concerns that always pressed on her had been lifted. Held as she'd never been. Given to fate.
He led her through the great room with a stone fireplace that reached to the vaulted ceiling. Her gaze wandered to towering windows that faced Lake Superior, unseen in the dark. The music of lake waves played outside. Music played inside. She recognized Weber's Phantom of The Opera, a favorite of hers. The sound seemed to come from the very logs and made her feel more at home. She floated in the music, her movement dreamlike as He led her further.
Her hand felt uncharacteristically small in His. She remembered how His hands felt on her naked body.
He brought her to a room at the end of the lodge. The three outside walls of the room were a series of curtain-less windows with thick vertical logs separating them. The windows reflected images of Him leading her, with impenetrable darkness beyond. Anything could be watching from outside, unseen. A bed stood in the middle of the room. The frame was fashioned from rough-hewn barn wood beams. Securing rings were attached to the heavy beams at each corner, with additional rings high on the headboard and on the footboard. Lamps on bedside tables softly lit the bed. Their stage.
He stepped back to watch her. She was staring at the heavy rings. He could see her face color with growing awareness. He smelled the arousal between the legs of this sophisticated woman. With growing hunger He could almost taste her, from six feet away. He would satisfy himself on her flesh and soul. His primal reality was going to be inside her. But first he had to wait. She had to wait. A growl stirred deep within Him, muted but audible.
Intensely feral sexuality flowed through her in that moment. Breathless. She turned to face Him.
"Show me the collar." He said. His first words since her arrival.
After hesitating briefly, she surprised herself by pulling the sweater over her head.
He'd already seen her naked, and fondled her?
she'd expected this. Her tits fell free. With her brain a bystander, she just perceptibly pushed her chest out. A small movement, out of character, but perfect in this setting.
All
of
this
seemed to involve a different woman than the one who lived her life. she realized that's why she was there.
He smiled softly. Knowing she'd come braless for Him. Tits free. Her nipples against the fabric as she drove provided her an arousing tactile sensation not felt since she was a pubescent teen. A brazen, uncharacteristic freedom making her feel girlish again.
He walked to her. Reached to touch the collar. "So beautiful." He said softly. He slid his index finger through the gold ring at the center of the collar. Tugged sharply. she stumbled but regained her footing. "So...very...beautiful." He said huskily. With his finger still firmly hooked in the ring so she couldn't move her head, He lowered his mouth to her ear. The sound of his breath resonated in her. she felt his heat, smelled His muskiness. From the steady calm of his breath He whispered, "Mine" in a husky, fierce voice.
He leaned back. With his eyes locked on hers, he reached both hands to her breasts. He fondled them. His large hands squeezed softness that matched the softness coming into her eyes. He rolled her nipples in rough fingers. her legs weakened. All of her softened. His hands wandered lower, onto her tremulous tummy, then abruptly shot up - sharply slapping her softest flesh. her tits bounced, she squeaked and her knees almost buckled.
