The dark behind her eyes...behind the scarf bound tightly around her head. Blinding her to her surroundings...left for a moment with nothing but her thoughts and what her body felt. And it did feel...many things. The cuffs were soft...but tight enough to hold her...pull her arms toward the ceiling where they were fastened...stretching her muscles...pulling at her joints...not quite painful...not quite comfortable. Her ankles were secured in much the same manner...pushed wide apart...held to a bar that didn't allow her to move them closer...testing her balance...exposing every inch of her to Them. The blindfold took all the shame from her naked body...even knowing They were watching. She couldn't see Them. She could relax a bit...but only a bit. It wasn't easy...or very wise...to relax too much...arms stretched...legs spread. Cool air blew over her...causing a shiver...drying the moisture that seeped from her...interrupted only when He stood at her back...His body...close...breath warm on her neck. He knew her well enough...how her body responded...the secret places...what she wanted...needed. His hands glided smoothly up and down her sides...over her belly...nearly lulling her into a trance. Then, it began as it always did...the question...so few words...so much riding on the answer. "Will you submit to Me?"...whispered...softly...like a caress. Two words...the answer...given swiftly...returning His whisper..."Yes, Sir."...it began. He moved all around her...touching...as she waited...trying to anticipate....what would be first. The sharp slap of His hand on her ass brought her to reality and, before she could prepare for it., the second one fell...startling...loud. Again His hand struck...and again...always twice...one echoing the other...no rhythm to them...impossible to predict. She felt movement in front of her...stirring the air...His voice..."My favorite thing." Before she could steel herself, an open hand fell full and hard against one breast...her moan barely begun before she felt the pain in the other one...the second slap...always two...always. Again and again He struck...no harder...the repetition alone escalating the sensation...deepening her response. His hand slid forcefully between her legs...testing her wetness...probing...making her gasp...weakening her knees...her resolve. And She was watching...carefully...closely. Her mere presence always felt...heightening all awareness. A different set of hands were on her belly...moving up...gripping her breasts...squeezing...tightening their grip. As the leather fell from behind Her fingers seized both nipples...pinching...no release...harder. Assaulted from front and back she was becoming lost in the sensations...moaning...almost constantly...bathed in pain...and desire. The air was cool but, ass stinging...breasts throbbing...she was burning inside and out...on fire...wanting release...but it was still too soon...and she knew it. Time slowed down...crawled...not keeping up with her desire. But, she had to ask...to beg...for what she wanted...craved. "Please, Sir, please let me cum?" She heard the words come from her own mouth...almost whispered...hoarse. And she heard His answer..."not yet pet"...knew what it would be...but dared to hope otherwise. She felt the groan of disappointment rise in her throat...heard the slight chuckle in His response. Time had stopped...had become immeasurable...loomed before her. It would seem like forever before permission came...and there would be a price for it. But it was very far away...it had only been a minute since the scarf was tied around her head...bringing the darkness...and her thoughts...for Their pleasure. .......annie
