The Bet (C) d edwards 2004 Walking towards her he took her chin in his hand, warm fingers firm against soft jaw as he tipped her head up to face him. His smile made her loins flush, unnerving her to see so gentle a look. Leaning forward he gently brushed his lips against the small fur of her earlobe and whispered softly, ''I'll make you a bet.'' Trembling, she nodded, unable to move, paralyzed by fingers now caressing her neck. He continued, his breath now tickling her ear, sending a slow wave of goose bumps down her spine to fold and swell against the heat in her loins. She felt the first warm swell of moisture trickle between her lips as she tried to keep her composure. '' I'll bet I can make you soak through your panties without touching you once'', he said, feeling her twitch in response, ''You have to do exactly what I say though, no hesitation or I'll have won.'' She paused, considering, and flushed again with the understanding that there was no choice in the matter; she was as clearly his at this moment as she was the first time his words tore into her heart and loins, recognizing a kindred soul with an awful intensity that moved her so completely. Fear rose to choke her next words as she struggled to take a breath. Forcing the words past a too dry tongue, she gasped a soft 'OK.......but....' ''Hmmm?', he said. Another deep breath, ''For how long?'' ''Let's try five minutes,'' he smiled, seeing the slight panic in her eyes. ''....Two'', she countered, knowing his answer even as she spoke. ''Five'', he agreed, ending the barter. ''But...' she started, silenced by his fingers on her lips. ''You want to know the terms, hmm?'' She nodded against his fingers, obedient to the slightest touch. ''Whoever loses has to be the complete slave to the other, heart and soul, for the rest of the evening. It's a simple bet, isn't it?'', he asked. She nodded a small no, unable to look away from his face. 'His eyes are green', she thought, surprised at how the odd thought calmed her for a moment. He waited quietly, watching her teeter on the edge as her breath grew ragged again. He whispered to her fear softly, ''I know, I know....'' caressing her neck to soother her. ''I have a small gift to help you.'' She whimpered, leaning against him to stop the room from spinning. ''Seven'', he said, feeling her pause, ''Seven is your safe word. Say it once and you'll be able to take control of what's happening, OK?'' She nodded, as small sudden tears of relief stained his shirt. He held her closer and continued, kissing her brow, ''Say it twice and I'll leave the room, the evening will end.'' Her hand reached up to touch his arm softly, not trusting herself to speak of that new fear. ''Say it three times and I'll leave your life completely; no phones, no email, no chatting. It will be over and you can go on with your life as you please.'' Her grip tightened. They sat there for several minutes, letting the crest of their emotions peak and recede as the long shadows of the afternoon sun crept along the floor next to them. Slowly the urge that brought them together that afternoon began to fill their senses. She felt him stir against her hip, shifting the hard heat of his cock which burned through to the tight nerves between her legs ''Shall we begin?'' Ch 2. They looked at each other for a long moment, savoring the sexual tension, the small smile on her face thrilling him with her acceptance of the wager. ''OK...'', he began, straightening up to stand behind her, his hands briefly massaging the knots in her shoulders, ''No touching you from this point on.'' Taking a small timer from his pocket he set it for five minutes and pressed the start button, placing it on the bed in front of her. They both watched the seconds tick by as his hands slid from her shoulders. 4:55 She jumped as his breath tickled her ear. ''Unbutton your blouse'', he murmured, watching as her hands paused, ''Remember, no hesitating; I'll ignore that first one, try again. Unbutton your blouse.'' Time seemed to stretch into long seconds as she reached up to the top button, sliding it past the eyelet as the collars dropped to either side of her chest. Cold fingers pushed the second and third buttons through as his hands slid the sheer silk off her shoulders revealing the fine lace of her bra and the deeper shadow of her cleavage. Trembling a bit she pulled the blouse apart, dropping her arms back and letting him slide it the remaining distance off her arms. Her skin tingled at the coolness of the room and her nipples, already taut, stiffened to almost painful hardness. 4:40 ''Lovely'', he whispered, again tickling her ear, ''you're beautiful when you're aroused. And you are aroused, aren't you?'' She took a ragged breath, her breasts shaking slightly. ''No need to say anything,'' he teased, ''all the evidence is before my eyes, and soon my tongue, hmmm?'' Looking down she saw that only twenty seconds had elapsed. A soft moan escaped past her dry lips, pleasing him. 4:30 ''Close your eyes'', he ordered quietly, words now her command. As she did so he draped the arms of her blouse around her head, tying the sleeves loosely, just enough to hold it in place over her eyes. She could now see the red pulse of her heart against her eyelids and her skin became more alive as she heard his next words, this time in front of her. ''Stand up, hands by your side.'' he requested. She rose unsteadily, her legs shaking as she took a deep breath. Bracing the back of her knees against the chair she felt the sudden heat of his body as he stepped up to her, almost, but not quite touching. A small tug at her waist told of the next garment to go as his fingers expertly slid the zipper down the back of her skirt. The fabric slid over her silk bikini panties and she giggled suddenly at the thought of how much more interesting the bet would have been if she'd worn pantyhose that day. Her laughter stopped when she felt the sudden heat of his breath between her thighs and heard his deep inhale as he took in her scent, running a stream of warm air up and down her legs that began to make her knees buckle. ''Not so quick to laugh now, are we?'' he asked as, almost against her will his breath pushed her knees apart. 3:50 His next order surprised her, still coming from below, but this time behind her. ''Pull the front of your panties away from your skin'', he said, now caressing the backs of her quivering thighs with his hot breath. She hooked her thumbs under the lace and felt the tug of his hands as they slowly pulled the taut panty in a tight roll over her round cheeks, sawing the fabric against her swollen vulva and then rocking them slowly down her thighs to pool against her feet. She picked up each foot as he pulled the small tangle of silk from under her. Looking down at her panty he turned over the fabric to reveal the slick shine of her juices nestled there in the cotton panel. Looking up between her trembling legs he could also see a small pearl of moisture clinging from the soft fur covering her swollen lips. Again, she trembled as he blew warm air up between her cheeks, sending small waves of heat to brush the moist hairs nestled there. She heard the small rustling of tissue..... 3:20 ''Pick up your left foot please,'' he said, careful not to let the new panty touch her until the last moment as he slid them up her calves. She gasped as she felt the smooth material of the thong slide up past her inner thighs and snuggle into the hot furrow between her legs to tightly cup her moist vulva. He pulled up the thin material firmly and she began to shake as a thin strip of beads began to slide up between her damp cheeks and slowly work their way between them to nestle against the tender rosebud of her anus. 'I thought it was only fair to start with something completely dry'', he chuckled, watching her skin flush as she shifted around, trying to adjust to the intense sensation of the beads pressing against her so intimately. 3:00 ''Sit please,'' he said, his soft voice commanding her from in front again, ''and keep your legs spread.'' She began to sit down, easing herself unsteadily back into the seat only to begin to rise again when she felt something hard press between her legs. ''I don't think you want to lose so quickly,'' he warned her, ''Sit down, I won't ask again.'' With a small moan she settled her soft bottom back into the chair, this time a hard cylinder of plastic now lay snug and warm between her thighs, pushing insistently into her swollen lips and clitoris and pressing the beads even further into her backside. She was panting lightly now, not imagining this unexpected turn of events, even in her wildest dreams. Her belly surged with pleasure as she tried to keep from rocking against the thick rod pressed into her. The thong slid smoothly over the cock (what else could it be? she wondered), frustrating her with the lack of friction, but giving her a glimmer of hope to win the bet. 2:40 ''Interesting thing about that rod between your legs,''he said this time, as his breath brushed against her left nipple (how did he know?). ''It's wrapped in a piece of silk that will darken with the lest amount of moisture.'' He paused, amused at her struggle to try to stop her hips moving and avoid the beads at the same time. ''I thought it only fair to start with a completely dry pair of panties. You seem to be enjoying them.......you DO like them, don't you?'' ''You................bastard,'' she gasped, squirming vainly in her chair. He laughed, walking around the chair, admiring her beautiful curves, her figure made all the more desireable by the sensual tug-of-war going on inside her. 2:10 A rustle of clothing, and the quiet buzz of a zipper; she knew that sound and what was to follow. Somehow knowing helped her back from the edge she was so close to plunging over. ''Lean forward,'' he said, again from in front and above her. She did so, bending at the waist, somewhat startled to find her nose nestled against the tight nylon of his underwear, his hard cock hot and pulsing beneath the fabric. Her head filled with the scent of his arousal and at the same time her hips pitched forward to press the rod more firmly against her clitoris, sending a jolt of pleasure that put her even closer to the edge. She held as still as possible, his scent making her dizzy as she felt him rub his length against her lips and nose. 1:10 She was whimpering now, almost in tears, trying to hold on as he spoke once more, pulling away from her slightly. There was the small sound of fabric...... ''Open your mouth....'' No please, just silence and those two words between them. Gasping, she offered her mouth to him as he ordered, passive, now a willing subject to his commands. She waited long desperate moments, waited for the first soft touch of his cock against her tongue, for the salt of him to fill her mouth. Her breathing grew ragged as the tension built in the silence that dragged over the seconds.... :50 She heard him draw a deep breath and felt the heat of his skin once more next to her face. She jerked in surprise as she then felt the smooth touch of satin on her tongue, followed by the sharp sweet taste of her own juices slowly filling her mouth. An involuntary cry of pleasure was torn from her as wave after wave of pleasure burst from her loins, making her almost weep at the intensity of it. She shook with each thick pulse of her vagina, hips rocking as her juices flooded the panties and flowed over the rod trapped beneath her, the smell and slick sound of her filling the room along with her cries of pleasure. She lost herself in the long pulsing moments, swept away by force of her orgasm. :10 He watched her sitting there, hips slowing their primitive thrusting as she slowly came back to her senses, head slumping forward as the panties dropped from her slack mouth to land, freshly dampened, on her moist thighs. Taking a deep shuddering breath she shifted against the rod between her legs, blushing at the moist sound as she tried to roll off of it. A hand slid it gently from between her legs, letting her relax more comfortably back into the chair. The beep-beep-beep of the timer cut into her reverie, and she felt the blouse being removed from her eyes, a gentle hand brushing the damp hair from her brow, returning her to the room and to this quiet smiling man standing in front of her. Looking up she could see his concern, his gentle look welcoming her back. She looked down at the rod in his hand, smiling wanly at the dark stained fabric covering it. :00 '' I guess I lost,'' she said, wiping the sweat from her forehead. Looking down, the sight of the moist fabric sent small pulses into her vagina. He cocked an eyebrow in question. ''Really, do you think so?''he asked. ''Stand up.'' She rose unsteadily to her feet as his hands held her shoulders to support her, and he ran his hands down her arms, smoothing the goose-bumps there with his warmth. She shuddered as his gaze held hers and his hands slid further down, across her belly and down between her legs. ''Open your thighs to me'', he said, pushing aside the damp panty, feeling her mound, moist and supple, open beneath his fingers. Her juices flowed into his hands, coating them and he rolled her clitoris in it's thick folds, her swollen lips spreading themselves against his hand. She gasped at his touch, the slow coiling inside starting once more. ''No coming, until I say so,'' he said, stopping his hand and locking her eyes to him, ''or there will be a punishment, is that clear?'' She nodded, unwilling to break this contact, needing to let the evening unfold. ''Then let's begin''......
