“I can take care of myself.” I stiffened my back. I felt like we were having two different conversations. How things went from spanking and coming to taking care of myself, I didn’t quite understand.

“Control, Precious. Learn to control your body and you don’t have to worry about that part of life anymore. You can be more free. You can stop worrying about what other people think because it doesn’t matter. Me and you. We are what matter.” John lowered his forehead to my chest as he breathed deeply. “Now that you are mine, I worry someone will try to take you. That someone will try to use the S and M relationship we have to pry you from my arms.”

It made me smile as I ran a hand through his hair. “Master, that’s not going to happen. I don’t always understand what we have, but I can tell you it’s not as flimsy as you worry. The connection we share is much more than most people ever experience once in their life. At this point, you should worry I’ll never let you go.”

A rumble vibrated from his chest before he leaned back in the chair. “You are too perfect. Take off my shirt.”

“Gladly, sir.” Happy to seemingly have gotten through an awkward conversation, I rapidly pried the tiny buttons on his dress shirt open. My anger at having been disciplined was gone. Once I reached the top of his pants, he moved to shrug out of his jacket before stopping and looking as if he was in thought. I nearly yelped in surprise when he put me at his side again on the cool leather.

“Change in plans. Come, Precious,” John stated as he snatched my dress from the floor.

I rushed to stand and follow him as he swiftly moved toward the way we’d come in. My heart started to flutter in panic at the thought of him taking me outside while nude, but thankfully, he turned to go down the hallway. When I made it into the room, I was surprised to find him undoing his own cufflinks as he stepped out of his shoes.

“Everything off.” He barely looked up at me as he proceeded to strip himself.

Following directions, I carefully removed my garter belt, panties and thigh highs.

John approached me with calculated steps before reaching out to grab the only thing I had left on. My pearl necklace. Hooking a finger in it, he led me to the dresser next to the bed.

“Open the second drawer,” John said as he released my necklace and took a step back.

Slowly, I raised a trembling hand to the drawer’s handle. I had never seen inside any of the drawers so it made me scared to think exactly what I was going to be retrieving. The further open I pulled the drawer, the more calm I became. There was nothing I hadn’t at least seen before.

“Pick up the nipple clamps.”

Carefully, I grasped the small metal clamps between a finger and thumb of each hand. There was a long metal cord between them. I turned around to face him and held my hands out toward him.

“Mmm, yes, I think these are exactly what we need. Now get on all fours.” John took the clamps from me, clenching them in one hand.

I didn’t know what to say. I’d never played with anything that looked like those. They looked painful and I’d already experienced enough pain for the night. My mind was spiraling out of control, trying to stay caught up with all that was going on. Sure, he’d done worse, but it was so much different to have my sight to go with the experience.

I did as he asked, lowering myself to all fours and closing my eyes. Instantly, I felt a rush of calm come over me. I was hyping myself up, twisting things into something they weren’t, all because I was afraid.

To my surprise, Master’s fingers slipped into my body. Unfortunately, it was only to retrieve and remove the small toy that was still vibrating. Master tossed it onto the bed before returning his attention to me. “On your knees only, Precious.”

I pushed off the ground to rest my butt against my crossed feet. As much as I dreaded what he had in mind, I wanted it. He never failed to make sure I enjoyed our time together. It was me who had to remember nothing had changed.

John stepped in front of me, the chain dangling between his spread hands. He dropped to his knees in front of me, making my eyes widen since I’d never seen him on his knees.

I thought he was going to kiss me as he closed the distance between us, but at the last second he dipped his head to suck a nipple into his mouth. Once he got it perked up and begging for more, the bite of the metal clamp came; I squeezed my eyes shut and tried to mentally push away the pinching sensation. Thankfully, it only seemed to last a few seconds, but he was already teasing my other nipple to a peak. Clamping down on my second nipple, he stood again and held a hand down to help me to my feet.

“Now, we will go back out to the main room.”

Chapter 6

John

As much as I wanted to play with Alix, hearing her tell me she wasn’t going to let me go nearly made me fuck her right there. Not that I wouldn’t do such a thing, but I had other plans for her and I couldn’t lose control, not yet. I had told her it was going to be a night of absence and I planned to fully see it through.

Alix looked breathtaking in her garter belt, but she nearly stopped my heart standing naked in front of me. I stalked toward her once I disrobed completely. Hooking my finger into the pearls around her neck, I used the delicate strand as a leash to lead her to the drawer. Simply seeing them on her made me hard and had my heart thumping harder against my ribs. She was mine.

Once I was holding the nipple clamps I had her take from the dresser, I told her to get on all fours. Not a position I put her in often, out of respect. Plus, now that we’d lost the blindfold I wanted to see as much of her as possible. My little flirt lifted her luscious ass, showing me her beautiful pussy between her thighs. The sight had my cock throbbing and releasing a single drop of pre-come.

Kneeling behind her, I dipped two fingers into her to snag the toy that hadn’t yet been used to its full capability. I would have to use it another time since it was normally so fun to have her pleasure in the palm of my hand, literally. Once I disposed of the toy, I stood again and moved in front of her.

Letting the length of chain slip through one hand into the other, which was still damp from retrieving the toy, I stretched the nipple clamps between my hands before standing and walking around her to kneel in front of her.It would’ve been simple enough to make her stand while I attached the clamps, but I wanted her to know this was more than a power play. Plus, since I hadn’t used the clamps on her before, I wanted her lower to the ground in case she passed out. Getting on the bed was out of the question because once we got in it, I’d be in her without a doubt. So I was improvising.

Lowering my head closer to her, I thought about pressing my lips to hers just as she dragged her tongue over the bottom one. Instead, I sucked one of her nipples into my mouth to prepare it for the clamp. Quickly, I slipped the clamp on; she barely responded, so I wasted no time in getting the other one on. The silver chain dangled between her breasts.

I stood and held a hand down to help her to her feet as well. A glance to the clamped flesh, I licked my lips in delight. Her nipples had turned dark red from the pressure they were exerting on the delicate flesh and it reminded me of how her skin looked after a good spanking.

“Now, we will go back out to the main room.” I smiled when she lifted her head in question. “Or we could stay here. Although, if we stay in here, you will still be held to no orgasms without punishment.”

“Very well, sir.”

“Well, which would you prefer?” I asked, wanting her to make the choice.

“I want to do whichever would make Master happiest,” she whispered, looking into my eyes. I nodded. I knew she’d prefer staying in the room, just the two of us, but I also wanted her to learn not to be so afraid of being around others, of being judged or looked upon.
