CHAPTER
ONE. ? A Night to remember.
She stood and checked herself in the mirror, the make up looked good, the
outfit was daring yet classic in its flattery of her shape. It had been a long
time since she had been dressing up to go out. Even though she was the young
end of her thirty's she had not spent much time being single and had no time to
look after herself while she was raising her family. She was not bitter rather
the opposite, there was no acrimony in the split with her husband they had
simply grown apart, the children were older and beginning their own families
and she was starting out again on the next stage of her journey.
Returning her attention to her reflection she added the finishing touches, a
Diamante hair slide to draw attention to the perfectly styled swirl of hair,
with single ringlet curls falling down to lightly caress her shoulders, She
added some delicate pear drop earring?s and held up two necklaces . The first
was a leather choker with a metal connecting ring at the front and a heart
hanging from it which said love, the second was another choker this time with
two rows of diamonds which dropped from her throat to the top of her cleavage
and drew the eye. After looking at both she decided on the leather one, it
reminded her of a collar which certainly sent a message but with it being
leather it also made a statement about her Character that she appreciated.
Fixing the choker in place so the ring was sitting perfectly at the bottom of
her throat where her collar bones met. She smiled into the mirror and licked
her lips making her lipstick shine, ?This Bitch means business"
With that comment on her lips the honk of the Taxi below signally time to
leave. She grabbed her shoes deciding to put them on in the car on the way, she
was ready.
Climbing out of the taxi she rearranged her skirt and looked around for her
friends, they were nowhere to be seen but she was early so she waited.
A slight smile crossed her lips as she remembered the taxi drive, she had
thought that they were going to crash at one point because the driver was too
busy looking in the mirror at her to watch the road. She had got in the back of
the taxi shoes in hand and tried to lean down to put them on, the cars cramped
interior did not allow for enough room and so she had tried to curl her leg
behind her to do it, she found that although she could get her shoes on she
could not fasten them.
Without thinking she had slid down on the chair and hitched her skirt up so
that she had more movement in her legs, bringing her knee to her chest and
reaching down she had been able to secure the straps around her ankles. When
she lifted her head she caught the eye of the driver in the rear view mirror,
he was watching her and she realized that he had a perfect view right up her
now very short skirt.
She flushed slightly and sat up, then in a moment of crazy abandon she returned
her gaze to the mirror and smiled at the driver, this time she did not reach
down to secure her strap but lifted her leg so that her heel was on the Edge of
the seat giving him a perfect angle, reaching across she secured her shoe and
trailed her fingers from her ankles slowly up her leg over her knee and up to
her thighs. There was a moment of electricity in the stare between her and the
driver before a loud horn broke the moment and the car swerved to avoid the
traffic.
She had not paid for that taxi ride and had been given the drivers card for the
return journey. She felt a bit like a hooker getting out of that taxi but it
gave her an edge of excitement that she liked. It was going to be an
interesting night.
An hour later she found herself with her friends at the bar with a row of
Tequila, a plate of lemon and a salt shaker. Her friends were giggling like
schoolgirls
and eyeing the shot nervously. Crystal was not going to let anyone get away
without drinking their shots and was watching them intently,
?So lick the back of your hand and pour salt on it. Then its salt, Tequila,
lemon."
Her friends didn't look convinced but they followed her lead and were soon all
holding there shots.
She counted to three and they all licked, drank and bit. The warmth of the
Tequila was just beginning to spread as the sourness of the lemon subsided.
The bar was busy and they were dancing and drinking. Crystal loved to dance, to
her it was an expression of who she was and there was something primal about it
a sort of courting routine without the emptiness of small talk. She was dancing
now thinking about her new found freedom and starting again when she noticed
that she was being watched.
The man was sitting in a raised seating area at the side of the dance floor, he
was watching her, not in a subtle and discreet way but boldly and without
apology, his eyes which had been following the shape of her body now locked
onto hers. For a minute she was completely lost in that stare and she lost her
rhythm. She stumbled slightly on her own feet and the music which had
momentarily seemed to stop crashed back into her conciseness. Embarrassed by
her bashfulness she looked down and laughed out loud as she realized how silly
she must look.
Composing herself she took a breath and walked over to the bar, obviously she
had been out of the dating scene for too long. She reached the bar and looked
over to where the man had been sitting, she couldn't see him, she was looking
for him and moving her hips to the music at the same time.
"Is that dance for my benefit?" the voice behind her startled
her and she swung around,
I erm well erm!" she fumbled for words that seemed to have deserted her.
"Are you always this eloquent?" She looked up and met the eyes that for the second time that night were locked on hers and completely destroying her concentration.
She
laughed, it was the only thing she could think of to do and it seemed to do a
little to ease the tension of the situation.
"I'm sorry, you startled me, I'm Crystal" She smiled at him.
"Pleased to meet you Crystal, I am Gary; can I buy you a drink?"
Crystal had not realized that they had got to the bar and were ready to be
served, Gary bought the drinks and she walked with him back to the table that
he had watched her from, they chatted for quite a while and Crystal lost track
of anything but the conversation, it was only when her friends came ready to
move on that she snapped back to reality. She apologized and made her move to
leave. Gary handed her a business card and she returned the gesture, she walked
out of the bar smiling and continued with her night.
CHAPTER
2 ? A man less ordinary.
The next day when she logged onto her computer she had a new MSN contact
request from him. Daily conversations ensued and she was surprised to find that
not only was he charming, but his humor and wit were refreshing. He had a
gentlemanly quality that she liked and it suited him. They discussed their
lives, their jobs everyday stuff, she found that she felt comfortable talking
to him and was telling him things that she had never mentioned to others
before.
Then one evening the conversations became more intimate. She was glad that
night that the computer was between them, she flushed scarlet when he had asked
her to describe her favorite sexual fantasy, nervously and with more than a
touch of naivety she recounted scenes of her desires, she started simple
testing the waters and told him that her thoughts of people walking in on her
while she was masturbating, he seemed interested but not impressed.
Taking the cue She elaborated about what would happen next, he listened to her
tell of a scene where the man would bring her off but refuse to enter her until
she came loudly. He asked her about other fantasies and she told him about
watching couples having sex but being unable to get through the glass to reach
them, she told him of being woken in the night by the onset of a crashing
orgasm which was inescapable.
His comments and replies gave her chills and she almost couldn't believe that
she was really hearing it. Gary asked her if she had fantasies of being forced
into sex, of being bound and helpless while her captor took what he wanted. She
couldn't believe it, she was there all defensive over this mans bare face
cheek. She thought to herself what type of person she would be if she were to
enjoy the idea of being made to have sex and against her will, she was
incredulous and she told him so. She sat back with a high and mighty edge and
awaited his reply feeling pleased with herself for defending her honor so well;
his response was not the apology that she had expected.
"I'll take that as a yes then, I think that I may have touched a
nerve."
She stared at the computer blankly.
"You know that it is the most common female sexual fantasy, it is not
about rape at all, it is about releasing responsibility."
The defenses ebbed slightly and the knot in her stomach subsided somewhat, she
relaxed a little, she realized that this was to be no ordinary conversation;
she took a deep breath, a glug of her wine and started to type.
That night she told Gary all of her deepest and most secret thoughts, she told
him how she dreamed of being bound and used, she told him her need for approval
and her wish to be completely without control, she even told him about her curiosity
about female only sex, at times she was aroused, embarrassed and at times she
was emotional, she had cried as she told him that she needed to feel protected
and loved, she didn't know why but she somehow knew that no matter what he was
not going to laugh, or judge.
He had been patient and supportive of her revelations as if he understood that
they were as much news to her as to him, this was her personal acceptance that
they were real. She ended the conversation feeling completely drained but somehow
content.
They
continued to have online conversations where they revealed to each other
details of intimate parts of their lives, he had more experience than her and
had told her of his tastes when it came to sexual relationships, she was
thrilled and curious. She had always dreamed of being with a man who would make
her submit.
She began to start looking forward to their chats, she became distracted at
work and the first thing that she would do when she got home was to turn on the
computer to see if he was online. After late night conversations he suggested
that they should chat in a more intimate way, she had no idea what he meant but
was pleased when he suggested her getting a web cam so that they could talk to
each other and see each other.
The next day she purchased a web cam installed it and waited for his next move.
She thought that she was going to burst with anticipation when the ringing told
her that he had initiated a web cam chat. She sat, played with her hair, took a
deep breath and clicked on accept, a second later the connection flicked to
life and she was staring into the eyes that she had not been able to stop
thinking about for weeks.
It was harder on web cam to chat, not because he was harder to chat to but
because he picked up on things that she was doing, like playing with her hair
when she was uneasy, he noticed when she hesitated and he seemed to be able to
read her very thoughts. They flirted with words and played with tasters of what
they wanted to do to each other; Crystal relaxed and began to feel comfortable.
He asked her if she had masturbated over their conversations and she happily
told him that she had and had thoughts about what may come after, he asked her
if she was feeling horny talking to him and she admitted that she was turned on
by his voice and his eyes, he asked her if she thought that she was ready to
try a different type of relationship where she gave over control to another
person and she assured him that she was. Then he told her to masturbate.
Crystal flushed crimson as she realized what he had said, her eyes filled with
question and confusion, he must have seen it, she thought about what had been
said and she realized that this was a test, she resolved that this would be a
test that she would pass because deep down she wanted to please him and she
wanted to feel his touch. Taking in a slow and deep breath she reached slowly
for her most intimate spot where there was a growing heat and wetness, she ran
her fingers up and down the whole area from hood to hole and moistened her
fingers dipping them slightly into the growing pool of her juices.
He had been watching her and was impressed by the way that she handled herself,
she had not reacted as he expected with shock and questions, she had not told
him that she could not do it and he had not had to repeat himself. He had seen
the questions and the uncertainty in her eyes but he had also seen the strength
of a woman who knew that there was a bigger picture. Tonight she would do
whatever he asked. It was unfortunate but necessary that tonight she would have
to learn her first lesson, that there was no room for breaking his rules, his
instructions were to be followed to the letter and she would fall asleep
tonight with only that thought in her head, but for now he was going to enjoy
seeing just how far she would follow what he said before breaking.
Crystal was lost in what she was doing she had her eyes closed and was running
her fingers slowly around her clit and then down to her hole and behind wetting
the whole area and feeling the sensitivity building, he had been quiet maybe
taking in her face, he spoke now with an authority which threatened that
disobedience Was not to be tolerated.
"You will describe to me everything that you are doing, you will do it as
you usually would and you must stop and remove your fingers before you orgasm.
You can not cum until I give my permission. Begin."
Crystal started shakily her voice faltering;
"I am circling my entrance with my fingers, I am doing this slowly and
I am putting slight pressure on the area between it and my ass hole, I am
pushing my fingers inside myself slightly rubbing inside as I remove them, I am
moving my finger up toward my clit with one finger running along each side
pulling my fingers together at the top. I am rubbing it over my clit and then
back toward my entrance."
Her breathing was steady but speeding up he was watching her face with
interest, she was facing the camera head back resting on the leather chair, her
eyes were closed, mouth relaxed while she was talking and cheeks becoming
flushed partly from the request and partly from the actions which she was
performing.
He could feel in himself the stirrings of an erection and repositioned himself
in his trousers; he could relieve himself later thinking about this for now his
attention had to be on her and the journey that she was taking. She was
beginning to struggle now to keep her breathing steady and to talk while she
was continuing her efforts,;
"I'm, I'm circling my erm??. I'm circling my clit with my fingers and
I'm??. ohhh ?.I'm?? MM?? rubbing my finger over it, it feels, it is OH?. I am
so sensitive, I can feel myself tightening inside and getting wetter Ohhhh I
can feel myself I, I. OH???? Mm??.. mm??? Hohhot????. Hohho????????????????????."
He smiled; ?You have stopped talking"
"I erm I'm sorry I will do better I promise I'm sorry I got carried
away" Her face was a picture of shame and uneasiness.
"I want you to push a finger inside yourself, push it in as far as you
can reach, now I want you to remove it and hold it up to the camera, I want to
see your wet finger glistening. Now I want you to lick it clean, put that
finger into your mouth and suck it, show me how you would suck me if I were
there."
Crystal had tasted her own juices before but she had never completely sucked
her fingers covering in them, she felt completely self conscious and slightly
humiliated, she didn't want to refuse and she felt that she had to make up for
she loss of self control when masturbating so she closed her eyes and tried to
imagine his erection being in her mouth and not her own finger, She touched the
end of her finger with her tongue placing her finger on the pierced bar in her
tongue, She tasted a little salty but also sweet, she could tell from the taste
that she was turned on, her juices were thick and white, she smelled musky a
smell of need. She pushed the bar down the centre of her finger pushing her
finger into her mouth, opening her mouth before closing her lips onto the base
of her finger then pulling the finger completely out and down and licking the end
of her finger so that he could see, she flashed him a look that she hoped
portrayed come to bed, she felt like she was auditioning for a bad porn movie
but found that it excited her that he was getting a show.
"Good now continue what you were doing and Keep talking"
"yes of course, erm I erm, I'm again I'm running my fingers over my
entire area and coating them in my juices, I am reaching inside with two
fingers and tickling the area just inside of me, I am removing my fingers and
trailing them up toward my clit where I am circling the area but not actually
touching , I rub one finger over the hood lightly pulling at it to tease my
clit and I continue to circle , I continue to circle while I am teasing myself
My hips are starting to rock and I can feel the first stirrings of my orgasm
building, I erm?.. I??. I........... Move my finger to cover my clit now and
rub gently up and down maintaining pressure simply rolling it under my
finger?.. ohh?.. I OH?.. I rub around?. and then over, around and then over?. I
can feel it building I around and over faster and faster I"
"STOP"
He moan of frustration was loud and clear and she flushed when she realized how
loud it had been.
"I told you to stop before you were orgasmic were you planning to do
that?"
"I Yes I was erm?.. Just about to" Her face gave away the fact
that she was not going to stop at all.
"You WILL Stop next time or this conversation is over, Continue"
"I am moving away from my clit and using my fingers, two inside me and
pushing them in and out, in and out I am feeling for my G spot and rubbing the
inside of myself, in and out oh in, out mmmm, in and out,, ohh I'm going to
come"
She removed her finger and he could hear her panting trying to hold off her
orgasm and keep her flaring frustrations in check.
"Good now continue"
For the next 15 minutes Crystal played and described everything that she was
doing, the intervals between her stopping were becoming shorter and she was
visibly shaking from the effort and the frustration, The resolve that she had
earlier and her embarrassment had disappeared at about the same time and all
that she cared about at this moment was getting her release however she could.
He could actually see her rocking in her chair.
"I'm circling my clit with my left hand and I have two fingers working
in and out and I am so wet, my whole area is drenched and I am so hot and I
want to come ohh I want to come please let me come, Please, Sir please, I need
to, ?Oh I am working my fingers in and
out mmmmmmmm OHHHHH I am, my fingers are circling, OH my God aahh please I
can't I cant; oh my god Please let me I can't I OHHHHHHHHHHHAhhh aahh aahh mmmm
mmmm."
He knew that this was going to be it, he saw her face flush and her eyes roll
almost before she started to orgasm, he saw her tense as the feelings came over
her and then the shake and the jerks of an orgasm that had been built and
denied. He had been impressed by her ability to control her orgasm, maybe this
was a game that she played with herself, and it had become obvious though that
she had never played it for this long. He had noted that she begged very
nicely, this would be something that he would remember. For now though the time
had come.
"I am disappointed, I distinctively told you that you were not to
orgasm until I permitted you to, you disrespect my wishes, This conversation is
over, Goodnight"
With that the connection closed and Crystal was left staring at an empty
screen.
Crystal was still feeling the spasms of her orgasm when she realized that he
really had logged off, she was stunned and angry but then overwhelmingly sad,
she had disappointed him, she had let him down and now he was gone, If she had
only followed his instructions he may have let her orgasm and they would be
chatting now, she had been selfish and stupid and she was ashamed, even the
warm afterglow of her orgasm didn't help to dispel the feelings of emptiness
that she felt now. Tears began to well in her eyes, tears of hurt, of loss and
of fear that he may be gone and not be back.
She showered and went to bed tired, upset and cried herself to sleep; the last
thing on her mind was that from now on she must follow every command to the
letter, no matter what.
The next day seem to drag and when she got home Crystal looked at the computer
screen for a long while before turning it on, she saw that he was on line and
was thinking of what she could possibly say when a message appeared from him.
"Have you learned your lesson?"
"Yes, I have, I'm sorry"
"Do you want to make up for your mistake?"
"Yes absolutely"
"Then you will meet me?"
"I will, when and where?"
The details were arranged and the date set, she would finally get what she felt
that she wanted and she would prove that she could earn his forgiveness. She
went to bed that night smiling and full of hope and of determination to make
him forget that she ever disobeyed him at all.
CHAPTER
THREE ? The Baptism of Fire.
Crystal was full of trepidation when the taxi dropped her outside the house,
she paid the driver and checked the address with the one on the scrap of paper
she held in her hand, it was the right address, that was a good start, the
right address was always a good thing because we wouldn't want to get the wrong
address that would be bad. She shook her head, the rambling in her head was a
clear indication that she was a lot more nervous than she wanted to be. Nervous
she laughed out loud, she was terrified. She could already feel the pounding in
her chest and tightness in her stomach.
She took a deep breath and walked toward the door, she closed her eyes to
steady herself before ringing the bell. Gary answered the door quickly and
guided her in, he took her coat and led her into the lounge, they made small
talk for a few minutes and then he took her hand in his.
"You know why I have asked you here? Are you sure that this is what you
want?"
Crystal had to smile there was such sincerity in his eyes and a touch of
something else, maybe concern she didn't know.
?I know why I am here and I am sure that this is what I want." She
matched his sincerity and portrayed more certainty than she felt.
"Then let us begin:
For now there are three rules;
Rule one; You will address me as Master or Sir and you will answer to Pet or
Slave.
Rule
two; you will only speak when you are directed to by me.
Rule three; you must follow all of my instructions promptly and completely
without hesitation. By accepting these rules you are agreeing to them and to
relinquish control to me for the time that you are here. Do you understand
these rules; you may speak to answer me."
Crystal took a deep breath,
"I understand" She knew that those words were the only
external sign of her crossing the line from the safety and security of fantasy
into the real and uncertain world of reality.
"While you are here, you are going to experience many things; you are
not a prisoner and are free to leave at any time. Your safe-word is RED, if you
say that word, and then everything will stop immediately. If you cannot speak,
clicking your fingers will replace that word"
There was a long pause, the silence was uncomfortable, and it felt heavy like a
blanket of anticipation falling upon her. The enormity of those statements and
of what she was about to do was starting to sink in. She knew that she was out
of her depth; she was usually very self assured, confident, controlled. She
prided herself on her ability to handle herself well, people saw what she
wanted them to see, that is not to say that she was deceptive she had just got
used to dealing with things alone. If she was honest with herself she was a
little bit of a control freak. It was safer that way.
She
always thought that she would like to have a man who would take the lead and
make her give everything, stripped and bare to the core, in her minds eye she
saw it being safe and perfect, her being happy and relaxed while still feeling
electric. That was not how she found herself now, caught between wanting
and needing to be there and the growing fear of falling and the urge to run.
She forced herself to breath. She could feel his eyes on her studying her
reaction maybe, she willed him to say something, anything she needed some
direction to distract her from the rising panic in her mind.
"Stand for me my pet, remove your clothes and stand so that I can see
you."
Crystal stood on shaky legs, she could feel Adrenalin coursing through her even
though she knew that this was only the beginning She silently cursed her
imagination for running away and allowing her now to lose so early the control
that she had planned to fight for.
She took off her clothes, top first then her skirt, she had no bra on and her
nipples stiffened instantly upon hitting the cool air, she had on a red thong
which she hesitated as she removed, she could feel his eyes on her, did he know
that she was buying time?
She was standing now in black Knee high boots and a leather choker, the irony
of the choice of jewelry was not lost on her now.
There was something about the fact that she was naked and he was fully dressed
that made her feel more vulnerable. He walked around her circling her just too
far away to reach even if she were to dare to try. She was fidgeting with her
hands by her sides, she didn't know what to do with them and her weight was
shifting from one foot to the other.
"Move your legs to shoulder distance apart, place your hands behind
your back crossed at your wrists, arch your back and hold your head high, lower
your eyes unless I state that you must look at me, This is your position to
present yourself to me, If I ask that you be on your knees then you will sit on
your feet and open your knees to the same distance apart."
She moved silently to comply with his command; it was not an uncomfortable
position although the aching of her back did mean that her breasts were forced
out and prominent. It took more focus to maintain than an everyday position
reminding her of why she was here. His hands on her hair made her gasp with
surprise, he was standing behind her and removing the clips which held her hair
in place, her hair was tumbling down onto her back, a shiver passed over her
and Goosebumps leaped across her skin.
"Do not move"
He ran his fingers down her hair, down her back and onto her wrists which were
now crossed in the small of her back, after their last conversation he had told
her to remove all hair from the neck down, the sensations on her arms now as he
worked his way up were like nothing she had felt before, his hands climbed
alternating his touch from the outside to the inside of her arms. Gently
leading goose bumps over her skin. He reached across her chest, hands flat,
fingers spread he moved so that he was cupping her breasts in his hands but his
fingers were splayed so he never touched her nipples.
Crystal moaned, involuntarily her back arched and her hips pushed back reaching
to find him, she moved slightly attempting to get her nipples to make contact
with his hands. The Sharp pain that came shocked her so much she cried out and
her hands moved to protect her nipple. He had pinched one of her nipples
between his fingers and he held the pressure. In one very quick movement he
caught her hands and secured them back in place.
"Demanding little thing aren't we,"
He breathed the words into her ear, he was pulling down on her arms and so
forcing her shoulders back, her head was almost resting on his shoulder. She
whimpered something incoherent.
"You are going to learn that your body is mine to do with what I please
when I please, you must earn my attention. Now I will teach you some manners
and some patience."
His knee pushed on the back of hers and her legs collapsed from under her, she
was on her knees with him following her down still holding her wrists, he had
released her nipple and the sudden rush of blood returning had caused another
wave of sensation to burn through it. She gasped with shock and pain and the
dawning realization of what she may have agreed to.
Crystals mind was racing, she was still trying to catch up on what had
happened, she suddenly became aware that he had let go of her wrists and she
tried to move. She found to that she had been bound while he was talking and it
appeared to her that he had tied opposite legs to opposite wrists maintaining
her in the position she was in and forcing both her chest and her hips forward.
She started to panic slightly, and called out,
"Please Sir, I?m sorry. I?ll.."
"I told you only to speak when I give you permission, I was not
planning on using this so soon but you obviously need to learn.
He walked in front in her and showed her what was to come, he seemed to relish
the fact that her eyes widened as she looked at the ball gag that he held in
his hands, she started to squirm and tried to protest but this was stopped
short by the force of the gag being pushed into her mouth. It took a moment for
her to get used to it and to adjust her breathing to accommodate the
obstruction. She closed her eyes and willed herself to calm down.
Her breath was coming more quickly now, he could see her nipples were hard,
skin was pinking, and he could smell her arousal and didn't need to look to
know that she was wet.
"This is turning you on isn't it" She shook her head; he
lifted her chin forcing her to meet his eyes.
"please remember that I have done this before, I can recognize the
changes and I know that you are reacting, I have only ever been honest with you
so do not lie to me"
There
was no mistaking his tone, she dropped her eyes and nodded in agreement,
resignation an acceptance. He reached out for her and placed his hand on her
face, his fingers caressed her neck and his thumb brushed her cheek, she leaned
her face into his touch. He saw her eyes soften, the last of the smoke of anger
dispersing, she was now perfectly still and silent.
He moved his hand across her cheek and ran his fingers and thumb over her neck,
he felt her shiver and she closed her eyes. His hand followed its path across
her collar bones tracing the line where her neck and body met, he crossed her
chest following the shape of her breast, dropping down between them and
continuing tracing the underside of the opposite breast. He flipped his hand
over and ran the upside of his fingernails down her side, her shiver was
visible this time and she moaned into her gag.
He stood and moved back, again walking around her, watching, admiring, she didn?t know; all that she knew was that the withdrawal of his touch left her feeling empty and exposed somehow. She wanted to shout him and make him come back, she wanted to beg him to return the touch to her skin, she knew that she was pouting and that her inner child was kicking and screaming. She sighed; there was no way that she could do anything until he decreed it. She felt a smile creeping to her lips before realizing that she couldn?t exactly smile, there was something funny about the situation that she had placed herself in, his situation. She wanted to feel everything afraid or not she knew why she was here. She looked over to him, couldn?t see him and started to move her head trying to shift the ball into a more comfortable position.
He couldn?t help but laugh, poor lamb she looked a picture trying to move her gag like a horse with a bit in it?s teeth. He had forgotten momentarily how new she was to this. He picked up the bag and walked back to her to ease her discomfort?. For now anyway.
He stopped just in front of her and she looked up at him, to him there was nothing on mothers great earth sexier than a bound woman on her knees looking up at him with no idea what was coming next, well there was perhaps one thing sexier and she was about to become it.

just got used to dealing with things alone. If she was honest with herself she was
a bit of a control freak. It was safer that way. She always thought that she
would like to have a man who would take the lead and make her give everything,
stripped and bare to the core, in her minds eye she saw it being safe and
perfect, being happy and relaxed while still feeling electric. That was not how
she now found herself, caught between wanting and needing to be there and the
growing fear of falling and the urge to run. Crystal knew that this man was
going to make her give everything whether she offered it or not, her very soul
was laid open to his gaze, she would learn now the most basic of lessons.
Be
Careful What You Wish For!"

CHAPTER
ONE. ? A Night to remember.
She stood and checked herself in the mirror, the make up looked good, the
outfit was daring yet classic in its flattery of her shape. It had been a long
time since she had been dressing up to go out. Even though she was the young
end of her thirty's she had not spent much time being single and had no time to
look after herself while she was raising her family. She was not bitter rather
the opposite, there was no acrimony in the split with her husband they had
simply grown apart, the children were older and beginning their own families
and she was starting out again on the next stage of her journey.
Returning her attention to her reflection she added the finishing touches, a
Diamante hair slide to draw attention to the perfectly styled swirl of hair,
with single ringlet curls falling down to lightly caress her shoulders, She
added some delicate pear drop earring?s and held up two necklaces . The first
was a leather choker with a metal connecting ring at the front and a heart
hanging from it which said love, the second was another choker this time with
two rows of diamonds which dropped from her throat to the top of her cleavage
and drew the eye. After looking at both she decided on the leather one, it
reminded her of a collar which certainly sent a message but with it being
leather it also made a statement about her Character that she appreciated.
Fixing the choker in place so the ring was sitting perfectly at the bottom of
her throat where her collar bones met. She smiled into the mirror and licked
her lips making her lipstick shine, ?This Bitch means business"
With that comment on her lips the honk of the Taxi below signally time to
leave. She grabbed her shoes deciding to put them on in the car on the way, she
was ready.
Climbing out of the taxi she rearranged her skirt and looked around for her
friends, they were nowhere to be seen but she was early so she waited.
A slight smile crossed her lips as she remembered the taxi drive, she had
thought that they were going to crash at one point because the driver was too
busy looking in the mirror at her to watch the road. She had got in the back of
the taxi shoes in hand and tried to lean down to put them on, the cars cramped
interior did not allow for enough room and so she had tried to curl her leg
behind her to do it, she found that although she could get her shoes on she
could not fasten them.
Without thinking she had slid down on the chair and hitched her skirt up so
that she had more movement in her legs, bringing her knee to her chest and
reaching down she had been able to secure the straps around her ankles. When
she lifted her head she caught the eye of the driver in the rear view mirror,
he was watching her and she realized that he had a perfect view right up her
now very short skirt.
She flushed slightly and sat up, then in a moment of crazy abandon she returned
her gaze to the mirror and smiled at the driver, this time she did not reach
down to secure her strap but lifted her leg so that her heel was on the Edge of
the seat giving him a perfect angle, reaching across she secured her shoe and
trailed her fingers from her ankles slowly up her leg over her knee and up to
her thighs. There was a moment of electricity in the stare between her and the
driver before a loud horn broke the moment and the car swerved to avoid the
traffic.
She had not paid for that taxi ride and had been given the drivers card for the
return journey. She felt a bit like a hooker getting out of that taxi but it
gave her an edge of excitement that she liked. It was going to be an
interesting night.
An hour later she found herself with her friends at the bar with a row of
Tequila, a plate of lemon and a salt shaker. Her friends were giggling like
schoolgirls
and eyeing the shot nervously. Crystal was not going to let anyone get away
without drinking their shots and was watching them intently,
?So lick the back of your hand and pour salt on it. Then its salt, Tequila,
lemon."
Her friends didn't look convinced but they followed her lead and were soon all
holding there shots.
She counted to three and they all licked, drank and bit. The warmth of the
Tequila was just beginning to spread as the sourness of the lemon subsided.
The bar was busy and they were dancing and drinking. Crystal loved to dance, to
her it was an expression of who she was and there was something primal about it
a sort of courting routine without the emptiness of small talk. She was dancing
now thinking about her new found freedom and starting again when she noticed
that she was being watched.
The man was sitting in a raised seating area at the side of the dance floor, he
was watching her, not in a subtle and discreet way but boldly and without
apology, his eyes which had been following the shape of her body now locked
onto hers. For a minute she was completely lost in that stare and she lost her
rhythm. She stumbled slightly on her own feet and the music which had
momentarily seemed to stop crashed back into her conciseness. Embarrassed by
her bashfulness she looked down and laughed out loud as she realized how silly
she must look.
Composing herself she took a breath and walked over to the bar, obviously she
had been out of the dating scene for too long. She reached the bar and looked
over to where the man had been sitting, she couldn't see him, she was looking
for him and moving her hips to the music at the same time.
"Is that dance for my benefit?" the voice behind her startled
her and she swung around,
I erm
well erm!" she fumbled for words that seemed to have
deserted her.
"Are
you always this eloquent?" She looked up and met the eyes that for the
second time that night were locked on hers and completely destroying her
concentration.
She
laughed, it was the only thing she could think of to do and it seemed to do a
little to ease the tension of the situation.
"I'm sorry, you startled me, I'm Crystal" She smiled at him.
"Pleased to meet you Crystal, I am Gary; can I buy you a drink?"
Crystal had not realized that they had got to the bar and were ready to be
served, Gary bought the drinks and she walked with him back to the table that
he had watched her from, they chatted for quite a while and Crystal lost track
of anything but the conversation, it was only when her friends came ready to
move on that she snapped back to reality. She apologized and made her move to
leave. Gary handed her a business card and she returned the gesture, she walked
out of the bar smiling and continued with her night.
CHAPTER
2 ? A man less ordinary.
The next day when she logged onto her computer she had a new MSN contact
request from him. Daily conversations ensued and she was surprised to find that
not only was he charming, but his humor and wit were refreshing. He had a
gentlemanly quality that she liked and it suited him. They discussed their
lives, their jobs everyday stuff, she found that she felt comfortable talking
to him and was telling him things that she had never mentioned to others
before.
Then one evening the conversations became more intimate. She was glad that
night that the computer was between them, she flushed scarlet when he had asked
her to describe her favorite sexual fantasy, nervously and with more than a
touch of naivety she recounted scenes of her desires, she started simple
testing the waters and told him that her thoughts of people walking in on her
while she was masturbating, he seemed interested but not impressed.
Taking the cue She elaborated about what would happen next, he listened to her
tell of a scene where the man would bring her off but refuse to enter her until
she came loudly. He asked her about other fantasies and she told him about
watching couples having sex but being unable to get through the glass to reach
them, she told him of being woken in the night by the onset of a crashing
orgasm which was inescapable.
His comments and replies gave her chills and she almost couldn't believe that
she was really hearing it. Gary asked her if she had fantasies of being forced
into sex, of being bound and helpless while her captor took what he wanted. She
couldn't believe it, she was there all defensive over this mans bare face
cheek. She thought to herself what type of person she would be if she were to
enjoy the idea of being made to have sex and against her will, she was
incredulous and she told him so. She sat back with a high and mighty edge and
awaited his reply feeling pleased with herself for defending her honor so well;
his response was not the apology that she had expected.
"I'll take that as a yes then, I think that I may have touched a
nerve."
She stared at the computer blankly.
"You know that it is the most common female sexual fantasy, it is not
about rape at all, it is about releasing responsibility."
The defenses ebbed slightly and the knot in her stomach subsided somewhat, she
relaxed a little, she realized that this was to be no ordinary conversation;
she took a deep breath, a glug of her wine and started to type.
That night she told Gary all of her deepest and most secret thoughts, she told
him how she dreamed of being bound and used, she told him her need for approval
and her wish to be completely without control, she even told him about her curiosity
about female only sex, at times she was aroused, embarrassed and at times she
was emotional, she had cried as she told him that she needed to feel protected
and loved, she didn't know why but she somehow knew that no matter what he was
not going to laugh, or judge.
He had been patient and supportive of her revelations as if he understood that
they were as much news to her as to him, this was her personal acceptance that
they were real. She ended the conversation feeling completely drained but somehow
content.
They
continued to have online conversations where they revealed to each other
details of intimate parts of their lives, he had more experience than her and
had told her of his tastes when it came to sexual relationships, she was
thrilled and curious. She had always dreamed of being with a man who would make
her submit.
She began to start looking forward to their chats, she became distracted at
work and the first thing that she would do when she got home was to turn on the
computer to see if he was online. After late night conversations he suggested
that they should chat in a more intimate way, she had no idea what he meant but
was pleased when he suggested her getting a web cam so that they could talk to
each other and see each other.
The next day she purchased a web cam installed it and waited for his next move.
She thought that she was going to burst with anticipation when the ringing told
her that he had initiated a web cam chat. She sat, played with her hair, took a
deep breath and clicked on accept, a second later the connection flicked to
life and she was staring into the eyes that she had not been able to stop
thinking about for weeks.
It was harder on web cam to chat, not because he was harder to chat to but
because he picked up on things that she was doing, like playing with her hair
when she was uneasy, he noticed when she hesitated and he seemed to be able to
read her very thoughts. They flirted with words and played with tasters of what
they wanted to do to each other; Crystal relaxed and began to feel comfortable.
He asked her if she had masturbated over their conversations and she happily
told him that she had and had thoughts about what may come after, he asked her
if she was feeling horny talking to him and she admitted that she was turned on
by his voice and his eyes, he asked her if she thought that she was ready to
try a different type of relationship where she gave over control to another
person and she assured him that she was. Then he told her to masturbate.
Crystal flushed crimson as she realized what he had said, her eyes filled with
question and confusion, he must have seen it, she thought about what had been
said and she realized that this was a test, she resolved that this would be a
test that she would pass because deep down she wanted to please him and she
wanted to feel his touch. Taking in a slow and deep breath she reached slowly
for her most intimate spot where there was a growing heat and wetness, she ran
her fingers up and down the whole area from hood to hole and moistened her
fingers dipping them slightly into the growing pool of her juices.
He had been watching her and was impressed by the way that she handled herself,
she had not reacted as he expected with shock and questions, she had not told
him that she could not do it and he had not had to repeat himself. He had seen
the questions and the uncertainty in her eyes but he had also seen the strength
of a woman who knew that there was a bigger picture. Tonight she would do
whatever he asked. It was unfortunate but necessary that tonight she would have
to learn her first lesson, that there was no room for breaking his rules, his
instructions were to be followed to the letter and she would fall asleep
tonight with only that thought in her head, but for now he was going to enjoy
seeing just how far she would follow what he said before breaking.
Crystal was lost in what she was doing she had her eyes closed and was running
her fingers slowly around her clit and then down to her hole and behind wetting
the whole area and feeling the sensitivity building, he had been quiet maybe
taking in her face, he spoke now with an authority which threatened that
disobedience Was not to be tolerated.
"You will describe to me everything that you are doing, you will do it as
you usually would and you must stop and remove your fingers before you orgasm.
You can not cum until I give my permission. Begin."
Crystal started shakily her voice faltering;
"I am circling my entrance with my fingers, I am doing this slowly and
I am putting slight pressure on the area between it and my ass hole, I am
pushing my fingers inside myself slightly rubbing inside as I remove them, I am
moving my finger up toward my clit with one finger running along each side
pulling my fingers together at the top. I am rubbing it over my clit and then
back toward my entrance."
Her breathing was steady but speeding up he was watching her face with
interest, she was facing the camera head back resting on the leather chair, her
eyes were closed, mouth relaxed while she was talking and cheeks becoming
flushed partly from the request and partly from the actions which she was
performing.
He could feel in himself the stirrings of an erection and repositioned himself
in his trousers; he could relieve himself later thinking about this for now his
attention had to be on her and the journey that she was taking. She was
beginning to struggle now to keep her breathing steady and to talk while she
was continuing her efforts,;
"I'm, I'm circling my erm??. I'm circling my clit with my fingers and
I'm??. ohhh ?.I'm?? MM?? rubbing my finger over it, it feels, it is OH?. I am
so sensitive, I can feel myself tightening inside and getting wetter Ohhhh I
can feel myself I, I. OH???? Mm??.. mm??? Hohhot????. Hohho????????????????????."
He smiled; ?You have stopped talking"
"I erm I'm sorry I will do better I promise I'm sorry I got carried
away" Her face was a picture of shame and uneasiness.
"I want you to push a finger inside yourself, push it in as far as you
can reach, now I want you to remove it and hold it up to the camera, I want to
see your wet finger glistening. Now I want you to lick it clean, put that
finger into your mouth and suck it, show me how you would suck me if I were
there."
Crystal had tasted her own juices before but she had never completely sucked
her fingers covering in them, she felt completely self conscious and slightly
humiliated, she didn't want to refuse and she felt that she had to make up for
she loss of self control when masturbating so she closed her eyes and tried to
imagine his erection being in her mouth and not her own finger, She touched the
end of her finger with her tongue placing her finger on the pierced bar in her
tongue, She tasted a little salty but also sweet, she could tell from the taste
that she was turned on, her juices were thick and white, she smelled musky a
smell of need. She pushed the bar down the centre of her finger pushing her
finger into her mouth, opening her mouth before closing her lips onto the base
of her finger then pulling the finger completely out and down and licking the end
of her finger so that he could see, she flashed him a look that she hoped
portrayed come to bed, she felt like she was auditioning for a bad porn movie
but found that it excited her that he was getting a show.
"Good now continue what you were doing and Keep talking"
"yes of course, erm I erm, I'm again I'm running my fingers over my
entire area and coating them in my juices, I am reaching inside with two
fingers and tickling the area just inside of me, I am removing my fingers and
trailing them up toward my clit where I am circling the area but not actually
touching , I rub one finger over the hood lightly pulling at it to tease my
clit and I continue to circle , I continue to circle while I am teasing myself
My hips are starting to rock and I can feel the first stirrings of my orgasm
building, I erm?.. I??. I........... Move my finger to cover my clit now and
rub gently up and down maintaining pressure simply rolling it under my
finger?.. ohh?.. I OH?.. I rub around?. and then over, around and then over?. I
can feel it building I around and over faster and faster I"
"STOP"
He moan of frustration was loud and clear and she flushed when she realized how
loud it had been.
"I told you to stop before you were orgasmic were you planning to do
that?"
"I Yes I was erm?.. Just about to" Her face gave away the fact
that she was not going to stop at all.
"You WILL Stop next time or this conversation is over, Continue"
"I am moving away from my clit and using my fingers, two inside me and
pushing them in and out, in and out I am feeling for my G spot and rubbing the
inside of myself, in and out oh in, out mmmm, in and out,, ohh I'm going to
come"
She removed her finger and he could hear her panting trying to hold off her
orgasm and keep her flaring frustrations in check.
"Good now continue"
For the next 15 minutes Crystal played and described everything that she was
doing, the intervals between her stopping were becoming shorter and she was
visibly shaking from the effort and the frustration, The resolve that she had
earlier and her embarrassment had disappeared at about the same time and all
that she cared about at this moment was getting her release however she could.
He could actually see her rocking in her chair.
"I'm circling my clit with my left hand and I have two fingers working
in and out and I am so wet, my whole area is drenched and I am so hot and I
want to come ohh I want to come please let me come, Please, Sir please, I need
to, ?Oh I am working my fingers in and
out mmmmmmmm OHHHHH I am, my fingers are circling, OH my God aahh please I
can't I cant; oh my god Please let me I can't I OHHHHHHHHHHHAhhh aahh aahh mmmm
mmmm."
He knew that this was going to be it, he saw her face flush and her eyes roll
almost before she started to orgasm, he saw her tense as the feelings came over
her and then the shake and the jerks of an orgasm that had been built and
denied. He had been impressed by her ability to control her orgasm, maybe this
was a game that she played with herself, and it had become obvious though that
she had never played it for this long. He had noted that she begged very
nicely, this would be something that he would remember. For now though the time
had come.
"I am disappointed, I distinctively told you that you were not to
orgasm until I permitted you to, you disrespect my wishes, This conversation is
over, Goodnight"
With that the connection closed and Crystal was left staring at an empty
screen.
Crystal was still feeling the spasms of her orgasm when she realized that he
really had logged off, she was stunned and angry but then overwhelmingly sad,
she had disappointed him, she had let him down and now he was gone, If she had
only followed his instructions he may have let her orgasm and they would be
chatting now, she had been selfish and stupid and she was ashamed, even the
warm afterglow of her orgasm didn't help to dispel the feelings of emptiness
that she felt now. Tears began to well in her eyes, tears of hurt, of loss and
of fear that he may be gone and not be back.
She showered and went to bed tired, upset and cried herself to sleep; the last
thing on her mind was that from now on she must follow every command to the
letter, no matter what.
The next day seem to drag and when she got home Crystal looked at the computer
screen for a long while before turning it on, she saw that he was on line and
was thinking of what she could possibly say when a message appeared from him.
"Have you learned your lesson?"
"Yes, I have, I'm sorry"
"Do you want to make up for your mistake?"
"Yes absolutely"
"Then you will meet me?"
"I will, when and where?"
The details were arranged and the date set, she would finally get what she felt
that she wanted and she would prove that she could earn his forgiveness. She
went to bed that night smiling and full of hope and of determination to make
him forget that she ever disobeyed him at all.
CHAPTER
THREE ? The Baptism of Fire.
Crystal was full of trepidation when the taxi dropped her outside the house,
she paid the driver and checked the address with the one on the scrap of paper
she held in her hand, it was the right address, that was a good start, the
right address was always a good thing because we wouldn't want to get the wrong
address that would be bad. She shook her head, the rambling in her head was a
clear indication that she was a lot more nervous than she wanted to be. Nervous
she laughed out loud, she was terrified. She could already feel the pounding in
her chest and tightness in her stomach.
She took a deep breath and walked toward the door, she closed her eyes to
steady herself before ringing the bell. Gary answered the door quickly and
guided her in, he took her coat and led her into the lounge, they made small
talk for a few minutes and then he took her hand in his.
"You know why I have asked you here? Are you sure that this is what you
want?"
Crystal had to smile there was such sincerity in his eyes and a touch of
something else, maybe concern she didn't know.
?I know why I am here and I am sure that this is what I want." She
matched his sincerity and portrayed more certainty than she felt.
"Then let us begin:
For now there are three rules;
Rule one; You will address me as Master or Sir and you will answer to Pet or
Slave.
Rule
two; you will only speak when you are directed to by me.
Rule three; you must follow all of my instructions promptly and completely
without hesitation. By accepting these rules you are agreeing to them and to
relinquish control to me for the time that you are here. Do you understand
these rules; you may speak to answer me."
Crystal took a deep breath,
"I understand" She knew that those words were the only
external sign of her crossing the line from the safety and security of fantasy
into the real and uncertain world of reality.
"While you are here, you are going to experience many things; you are
not a prisoner and are free to leave at any time. Your safe-word is RED, if you
say that word, and then everything will stop immediately. If you cannot speak,
clicking your fingers will replace that word"
There was a long pause, the silence was uncomfortable, and it felt heavy like a
blanket of anticipation falling upon her. The enormity of those statements and
of what she was about to do was starting to sink in. She knew that she was out
of her depth; she was usually very self assured, confident, controlled. She
prided herself on her ability to handle herself well, people saw what she
wanted them to see, that is not to say that she was deceptive she had just got
used to dealing with things alone. If she was honest with herself she was a
little bit of a control freak. It was safer that way.
She
always thought that she would like to have a man who would take the lead and
make her give everything, stripped and bare to the core, in her minds eye she
saw it being safe and perfect, her being happy and relaxed while still feeling
electric. That was not how she found herself now, caught between wanting
and needing to be there and the growing fear of falling and the urge to run.
She forced herself to breath. She could feel his eyes on her studying her
reaction maybe, she willed him to say something, anything she needed some
direction to distract her from the rising panic in her mind.
"Stand for me my pet, remove your clothes and stand so that I can see
you."
Crystal stood on shaky legs, she could feel Adrenalin coursing through her even
though she knew that this was only the beginning She silently cursed her
imagination for running away and allowing her now to lose so early the control
that she had planned to fight for.
She took off her clothes, top first then her skirt, she had no bra on and her
nipples stiffened instantly upon hitting the cool air, she had on a red thong
which she hesitated as she removed, she could feel his eyes on her, did he know
that she was buying time?
She was standing now in black Knee high boots and a leather choker, the irony
of the choice of jewelry was not lost on her now.
There was something about the fact that she was naked and he was fully dressed
that made her feel more vulnerable. He walked around her circling her just too
far away to reach even if she were to dare to try. She was fidgeting with her
hands by her sides, she didn't know what to do with them and her weight was
shifting from one foot to the other.
"Move your legs to shoulder distance apart, place your hands behind
your back crossed at your wrists, arch your back and hold your head high, lower
your eyes unless I state that you must look at me, This is your position to
present yourself to me, If I ask that you be on your knees then you will sit on
your feet and open your knees to the same distance apart."
She moved silently to comply with his command; it was not an uncomfortable
position although the aching of her back did mean that her breasts were forced
out and prominent. It took more focus to maintain than an everyday position
reminding her of why she was here. His hands on her hair made her gasp with
surprise, he was standing behind her and removing the clips which held her hair
in place, her hair was tumbling down onto her back, a shiver passed over her
and Goosebumps leaped across her skin.
"Do not move"
He ran his fingers down her hair, down her back and onto her wrists which were
now crossed in the small of her back, after their last conversation he had told
her to remove all hair from the neck down, the sensations on her arms now as he
worked his way up were like nothing she had felt before, his hands climbed
alternating his touch from the outside to the inside of her arms. Gently
leading goose bumps over her skin. He reached across her chest, hands flat,
fingers spread he moved so that he was cupping her breasts in his hands but his
fingers were splayed so he never touched her nipples.
Crystal moaned, involuntarily her back arched and her hips pushed back reaching
to find him, she moved slightly attempting to get her nipples to make contact
with his hands. The Sharp pain that came shocked her so much she cried out and
her hands moved to protect her nipple. He had pinched one of her nipples
between his fingers and he held the pressure. In one very quick movement he
caught her hands and secured them back in place.
"Demanding little thing aren't we,"
He breathed the words into her ear, he was pulling down on her arms and so
forcing her shoulders back, her head was almost resting on his shoulder. She
whimpered something incoherent.
"You are going to learn that your body is mine to do with what I please
when I please, you must earn my attention. Now I will teach you some manners
and some patience."
His knee pushed on the back of hers and her legs collapsed from under her, she
was on her knees with him following her down still holding her wrists, he had
released her nipple and the sudden rush of blood returning had caused another
wave of sensation to burn through it. She gasped with shock and pain and the
dawning realization of what she may have agreed to.
Crystals mind was racing, she was still trying to catch up on what had
happened, she suddenly became aware that he had let go of her wrists and she
tried to move. She found to that she had been bound while he was talking and it
appeared to her that he had tied opposite legs to opposite wrists maintaining
her in the position she was in and forcing both her chest and her hips forward.
She started to panic slightly, and called out,
"Please Sir, I?m sorry. I?ll.."
"I told you only to speak when I give you permission, I was not
planning on using this so soon but you obviously need to learn.
He walked in front in her and showed her what was to come, he seemed to relish
the fact that her eyes widened as she looked at the ball gag that he held in
his hands, she started to squirm and tried to protest but this was stopped
short by the force of the gag being pushed into her mouth. It took a moment for
her to get used to it and to adjust her breathing to accommodate the
obstruction. She closed her eyes and willed herself to calm down.
Her breath was coming more quickly now, he could see her nipples were hard,
skin was pinking, and he could smell her arousal and didn't need to look to
know that she was wet.
"This is turning you on isn't it" She shook her head; he
lifted her chin forcing her to meet his eyes.
"please remember that I have done this before, I can recognize the
changes and I know that you are reacting, I have only ever been honest with you
so do not lie to me"
There
was no mistaking his tone, she dropped her eyes and nodded in agreement,
resignation an acceptance. He reached out for her and placed his hand on her
face, his fingers caressed her neck and his thumb brushed her cheek, she leaned
her face into his touch. He saw her eyes soften, the last of the smoke of anger
dispersing, she was now perfectly still and silent.
He moved his hand across her cheek and ran his fingers and thumb over her neck,
he felt her shiver and she closed her eyes. His hand followed its path across
her collar bones tracing the line where her neck and body met, he crossed her
chest following the shape of her breast, dropping down between them and
continuing tracing the underside of the opposite breast. He flipped his hand
over and ran the upside of his fingernails down her side, her shiver was
visible this time and she moaned into her gag.
He
stood and moved back, again walking around her, watching, admiring, she didn?t
know; all that she knew was that the withdrawal of his touch left her feeling
empty and exposed somehow. She wanted to shout him and make him come back, she
wanted to beg him to return the touch to her skin, she knew that she was
pouting and that her inner child was kicking and screaming. She sighed; there
was no way that she could do anything until he decreed it. She felt a smile
creeping to her lips before realizing that she couldn?t exactly smile, there
was something funny about the situation that she had placed herself in, his
situation. She wanted to feel everything afraid or not she knew why she was
here. She looked over to him, couldn?t see him and started to move her head
trying to shift the ball into a more comfortable position.
He
couldn?t help but laugh, poor lamb she looked a picture trying to move her gag
like a horse with a bit in it?s teeth. He had forgotten momentarily how new she
was to this. He picked up the bag and walked back to her to ease her
discomfort?. For now anyway.
He
stopped just in front of her and she looked up at him, to him there was nothing
on mothers great earth sexier than a bound woman on her knees looking up at him
with no idea what was coming next, well there was perhaps one thing sexier and
she was about to become it.
Crysatal Maid Crystal Broken Mariam eyed him with her big doe eyes as Hamid entered the room. He gestured at her to join him at the small padded bench in the middle of the room. With a single finger he slipped the bra strap of her shoulder. No words were needed and Mariam unhooked her red demi cut bra and stepped out of her matching knickers. He noted with satisfaction her little cock was standing erect. Hamid patted the bench and obediently Marian climbed up and knelled on all...
Polly Tarantella hadn’t always been the great custodian of Crystal Passion’s legacy nor always the music’s greatest champion. In fact, I first heard of her when Olivia—one of the few original band-members I still keep in touch with—e-mailed me a link to a Rock Music website I’d never have discovered otherwise in which Polly Tarantella lambasted Crystal Passion with a vehemence that was bizarre given the many years since the band had broken up. In those days she was known as Sally Tyrant and was...
Crystal and I came trotting back from our morning run and a twenty-minute period of meditation in the little clearing in the woods. We'd seen a deer as we sat motionless, but the deer just meandered away in no particular rush. As we got near the house, I said to Crystal, "Would you marry me?" Crystal whirled around in complete surprise. She tried to speak, sputtered, her mouth moved, but no words came out. Then, I figured out what she tried to say: "No." She shook her head, paused, and...
‘Where is everyone?’ I asked when after an exasperating journey on Philadelphia’s public transport system I’d finally got back to the hotel and found Crystal sitting in the hotel lobby with only Jenny Alpha and our luggage for company. Crystal pretended to look around the hotel lobby at the scuffed velour chairs and the sticky linoleum floor. ‘They’re not here, that’s for sure,’ she said with a smile. ‘In fact, they’ve all left in the camper van for Boston.’ ‘They left without me?’ I...
I cried almost nonstop for an entire week. Everyone came by the house and tried to console me, as well as the others close to Crystal. We were all crying or moping around the house; we relished the few moments when we fell asleep exhausted because for a few minutes we were numbed from the events Crystal precipitated. Crystal was gone, disappeared, and maybe even dead somewhere. I couldn't even think of her without feeling total devastation sweep over me. For two days that first week, I...
Chapter One How well did I ever really know Crystal Passion? I ask that because everyone says that no one knew her better than me. And that’s just not true. It’s obvious why so many people believe I know more about her than the dozen or so others who were with her on that last fateful tour. I’m the one who renowned American rock critic Polly Tarantella has elevated to the status of Chief Guardian of the Crystal Passion legacy. Of the rest of us who were there, does anyone remember...
Both Crystal’s and Judy’s parents preferred that their daughters be buried rather than cremated so the final moments of the funeral weren’t of two coffins sliding inside a furnace and being incinerated. Instead a procession of hearses snaked out of the funeral home and wound through the roads and avenues of Rock Hill to Crystal’s final resting place at the Forest Hills Cemetery. I was a mess of sorrow and tears during the whole drive. The brief respite I’d had from my grief by the need to...
If you looked for a sexy, feminine, human dynamo with spectacular artistic talent, Brite Reber would flawlessly fill the bill. She lived outside St. Cloud, Minnesota, and for the past five years had done business on her own terms. She commanded top-dollar for her photo sessions, and last I knew you had to book her at least two years in advance even if you were the queen of England, the President, or the newest movie star. "Jimmmm," she crooned into the telephone, responding to my name...

Dan bumped his head a couple of dozen times against the wall in the bedroom he'd been in with Ellen. The act looked funny given he was naked and sober, but so were the rest of us. He'd dropped the newspaper that repeated the story in a British tabloid about me carrying around pornographic and lewd pictures that had been sexted to me or taken by me on my cell phone. I took his head pounding as an indication that my publicist hadn't the slightest idea how to cope with this sudden release of...

I slept between Crystal and Ellen the night we got back from Minnesota. I think we were sexed out because uncharacteristically no one made any overt gestures to any of the others regarding sex. We were cuddly and happy, and even went to bed early making up for the sleep deprivation we'd suffered when we opted to keep messing around until the wee hours while at Brite's home. I remember wondering what each of the women was thinking or dreaming as I drifted off. Were these moments a calm...
I felt her lips reach the base of my cock and I gave the back of her head a soft caress followed by a little push. Her lips gently flared out on the base of my hairless shaft and she moaned with my cockhead buried in her throat. I looked down and watched her green eyes as they stayed locked into mine. Crystal had enhanced her eyes the way she usually did when we went out somewhere. She fringed her lashes with lots of that CoverGirl ThickLash mascara that gave her lashes a longer, plush look....

I think our rendition of the song brought tears to nearly every eye in the arena. The song was Perhaps Love; it was a cover for one done years ago by John Denver and Placido Domingo, except Crystal and I had added our own touch to both lyrics and melody shifting the song into a romantic ballad of the country music genre. I could tell we'd seriously moved the audience because as the last bars of the song died out an eerie silence hung over the stadium for a full five seconds before the...
‘We’ve been invited to her home!’ an excited Andrea announced after she and Crystal emerged from the hotel lobby’s public phone booth. ‘Whose home?’ I wondered, not really having paid much attention. I was sitting splayed across one of the Crown Hotel’s most threadbare red velour sofas. We were now on the latest stop of our trans-American tour and in the city of Providence, the capital of the tiny Ocean State of Rhode Island. I’d been browsing statistics about the state in a tourist brochure...
If you were touring America these days and you wanted to contact your manager or, indeed, anyone back in the UK, all you need to do is switch on a laptop or tablet or smart phone and use Skype. And if not Skype exactly, you’d use Viber or exchange e-mails or instant messages. But in the early 1990s, the internet was very slow and ridiculously expensive and most people weren’t online anyway. So, when Crystal wanted to contact Madeleine, our agent, to find out how things were doing she had to...
It had been several years since I’ve been back to my hometown, I didn’t know what to expect when I moved back since I really haven’t stepped foot in this town since I graduated high school. Once I arrived back at my hometown I noticed that the town really hasn’t changed much. I noticed a new water tower, a new school but everything else was the same. What did I even expect from a small town, nothing is going to change in a small town. I got to my grandparents house, I looked around to...
The envelope had a wax seal across the flap embossed with the script letters 'NR'. On the front, written in bold letters, were the words, "To be opened only by Jim Mellon." An usher brought it to me at intermission time. I thanked him and went to tip him, but he said, "Oh, no sir, the young lady handsomely tipped me to deliver this to you personally." I figured it was some not-so-subtle fan mail. The green room door opened and a stage hand yelled into the room to Crystal and me, "On...
"You don't really want to know about my sex life or nearly the lack of one." I told her. We had joked about sex as Carol was growing up and had our talk about safe sex, I had let my ex wife do the sex talk with Carol. Carol had asked questions about different things about sex over the years but nothing that was personal. "Dad you are a great looking guy and I wish you would get out more, maybe get laid once in a while." Carol was blushing badly by the time she finished saying...
‘Wherever it is we’ll be tomorrow, it won’t be Kansas,’ Crystal announced when she’d returned from the hotel foyer after what was originally intended to be a routine phone call to Kai about the tour itinerary. ‘And it most certainly won’t be Kansas City.’ ‘No need for ruby slippers then,’ said Thelma. ‘So, if we’re not going to Kansas, where are we going?’ Andrea asked. ‘Weren’t we supposed to be travelling from there to Chicago, Washington and New Orleans?’ ‘It isn’t only Kansas we won’t...
I was working ate in the campaign office along with about three volunteers. I was in charge of a Get Out The Vote effort for a local candidate and we had been brain storming things for weeks with staff. One of the three volunteers was a college-aged girl named Crystal. Crystal had an engaging smile and the only thing bigger than her smile was her heart and her boobs. I had secretly stalked her Facebook photos after she added me as a friend. I had hopes of determining a little more about her...
Hardcore"Ellen will be your very special assistant. She'll be your script girl, check your makeup, help you go over your lines, and keep you on schedule." Crystal smiled at me to be sure I thought I'd be taken care of, "And, of course, she'll keep you warm in bed, and she's promised to remind you that I love you even though I'm six thousand miles away." She laughed at her innuendo abd then whispered, "And I've left instructions that she's supposed to fuck you senseless at least once a...
I'm sure most of the population think that music and movie stars have chauffeurs everywhere they go, plus a huge entourage who wait on their every need. Not true! I personally drove the crowded SUV across Tennessee from Nashville to a rural suburb of Knoxville where Crystal and Ellen's parents lived. With Crystal and me also were Ellen, Claire, PJ, and Nadia. We were all in a jovial mood, laughing and even singing Christmas carols along with the radio. The back of the car was so full of...
Nobody should approach me if they want a fair, balanced and informed opinion of Rock Hill, South Carolina. Most of what I discovered about the city was well after the Crystal Passion tour and what we saw was probably unrepresentative and, to be honest, not especially attractive. It was a town very much in the shadow of the somewhat larger city of Charlotte, 25 miles away and mostly only glimpsed at as we drove by on the relatively new Interstate 485 which also took us past Charlotte Douglas...
The Moscow concert and premiere of Crystal's film The Naked Truth had gone off without a hitch. The worry I'd felt over those events before paled in comparison with the angst I felt over having to check out of the country with Russian immigration and customs carrying a contraband iPod with a terabyte of highly classified Russian data on it. I tried to calm myself by recalling one of the missions I'd had in Russia when I was a Green Beret. My squad had done a HALO drop into the edge of the...
Not surprisingly, I found a few residual women in my bed on Tuesday morning, and we made love again. After that, we all showered, having some sexual play in our shower room, dressed, and then had a light breakfast. I felt like a kid waiting for Santa Claus to arrive, just knowing I would get my favorite and most wished for present later that day – Crystal! The clock slowed to a crawl. I kept looking at it, trying to see how fast 5:30 p.m. would arrive. It wasn't coming fast at all....

I looked at the pretty young woman and pondered how to answer her question, 'Mr. Mellon ... err, this is delicate ... I don't know how to put this ... but, well, ... do you have a child ... by a woman who lives in Greenville, Ohio – a baby about seven or eight months old?' I practically choked out loud. I did indeed have a child I'd fathered in Greenville, Ohio. Crystal knew too, but other than the baby's parents no one else should have figured out the lineage of that child. Crystal...
However much I admired Crystal’s song-writing skills when I was playing in her band, I didn’t really dwell much on the meaning of her lyrics. Certainly not with the intense attention to detail as Polly Tarantella. She quotes from Crystal Passion’s lyrics as if it was poetry and uncovered depths of meaning in them that had never occurred to me. I suppose it’s natural to think you might glean everything about Crystal’s philosophy of life from her lyrics, especially since she never explicitly...
By the time I called room service for lunch, four nearly nude women sat engaged in various activities in the living of our suite at the Hotel George V in Paris: Crystal was reading a script she'd been asked to consider for our next movie, if she liked it then I'd read it next; Jill had started to read a Clive Cussler book on her iPad; Helen sat near a corner of the room practicing various yoga positions au naturel; and Margo, naked except for her thong, alternately worked on her computer or...
I guess it should be obvious to just about everyone simply by having a look at an atlas, but it came as something of a surprise to me, to realise how big America actually is, and we were only travelling from North to South down the Eastern United States. Almost every single one of America’s states is bigger than England, and some are bigger than France or Germany, but when you travel across Europe you know for sure when you’ve left one country and entered another. In America the differences are...

FetishMy meditation was broken by the almost inaudible sound of a footstep nearby. I sensed an animal; but instead of jerking my head around to look I remained absolutely still and slowly opened my eyes. From my right side, a fawn moved into the clearing with me – light brown with white markings, large dark eyes full of curiosity. The pretty animal knew I didn't belong, yet obviously didn't fear me. It approached and sniffed at my ear and cheek. Not too far away, I heard the heavier footfalls of...
Edie Gerst and her editor published the story about my baby, Summer, George, Crystal, and me on Thursday. They carefully picked the day of the week, because that's the day most of the tabloids get to the newsstands, so it would be a week before they would be able to catch up with the scoop we'd given the Dayton Daily News. By the time they would be able to write about the story, it would be old news, and depending on what else happened during the week, including what flying saucers landed...

A lot of hate is thrown on boredom, but without boredom, where would humanity be? Boredom has been the impetus behind many of man's most significant accomplishments. Along with sex, it's one of our primary guiding motivations.From Boredom to WhoredomNothing is worse than sitting around with nothing to do. Why do you think we all masturbate so fucking much. It's the easiest solution to having nothing to do. Boredom can even lead a bitch to discover porn, and that's precisely what happened to...
Twitter Porn AccountsIn her best-selling biography, Polly Tarantella makes clear that she ranks the most significant days of Crystal Passion’s life as those from when she arrived at JFK airport until her fateful last day on American soil. It’s probably not surprising that an American writer asserts that Crystal’s few weeks in America should be her most important. Although Polly interviewed me for the book and we continue to exchange e-mails, there’s a lot in her account I don’t really recognise. And this is even...
We dozed for a long time, drifting in and out of a pleasurable nap brought on by the soporific afterglow of the pleasure we'd just completed. Not unexpectedly, I had dreams of a sexual nature. I held Kim's naked body against me; our spent sex organs nestled together at our groins, and my hand cupping one breast. Behind Kim, her daughter Crystal lay naked and tightly against her mother's body; one arm wrapped around and cupping Kim's other breast. Ellen had spooned behind me; her erect...

Crystal always had me fascinated from a young age. The eldest daughter of Mr and Mrs Clifton nextdoor, she was older than me by about 5-10 years. She was more mature than the rest of us k**s growing up, but still cooler to hang out with than the grown ups when our parents would get together for one of the many neighbourly BBQs on their back deck. We had a close relationship with the Cliftons. I was about 4 or 5 when both our families had moved into the street about the same time. The summer...

It's often assumed that because I've been cast as Crystal's best friend, I'm also the one who knows most about her childhood or at least about her life before she became a musician. That's just not true. Her husband Mark knew Crystal's family far better than I ever did. Mark was never really a close friend. In fact, I regarded him rather more as a rival. Neither Crystal nor Mark were jealous lovers but that wasn't what it was like for me, although I accepted Crystal's sexual...
Edie, the pretty reporter from the Dayton Daily News, appeared nonplused. "You ... err, how can I ask this delicately ... you conceived a second child last night?" She looked between Summer and me about a dozen times in ten seconds. Summer spoke directly, not being evasive in any way, "Yes, exactly." "How do you know you're pregnant? You can't tell for sure for at least a couple of weeks." "I can," Summer replied with great certainty. "I knew it the second he ... the second his...
There’s a lot I simply can’t remember that happened in the following few days we were stranded in Rock Hill. My attention was almost entirely focused on my overwhelming sense of grief.

And when it was established that Crystal had been murdered at almost exactly the time that Judy Dildo made her brief appearance at the Penitence...
The powers that be at Sony Entertainment had decided that Wengen, Switzerland, would be the perfect place to film the outdoor ski scenes for our movie Downslope. The small ski town was serviced by a rack railway system. The massive and famous Eiger rises spectacularly in front of the town, a well-known part of the Alps. Ski slopes of all varieties and difficulties left from the town, with a wide variety of transport to return to home base once some end point had been reached. Crystal and I...

Crystal Sky: Origins by Red The Bard It all started when a rock fell from the sky and landed on Zoey's head. It had been a pretty nice day so far, she had finished her morning shift at the hospital, and was heading home for some sleep, the noon sun pounding hot against her head. It wasn't long, however, until she felt a more decisive pounding, as a small yellow rock cracked against her skull, sending the brunette crumpling to the floor. She groaned, motes dancing in her vision and her...
