One quick glance in the visor mirror told me I looked presentable at least. It was only when I knew I had to hurry that I realized how hard I had been gripping the steering wheel. Another steadying breath and I got out of the car. It was time for another lesson. Mistress had arranged sessions with Doms before. She wanted me to learn and experience as many things as was possible. This One was not cowboy but, according to Her. Certainly knew the ropes. I'd had no previous contact with Him. I knew only what She'd told me from Her own experiences. I came to understand that this session would probably be the most physically challenging one yet...in many ways. I wasn't wrong. I looked up as I headed down the walk and nearly stopped in my tracks. He was sitting on the porch. She had told me He was a big man. He was. Tall and large of build, I knew there was a lot of power in those arms and hands. He was dressed casually and had a pleasant face. But, I've found, there is something in the eyes of each Dom/Domme I've met. It is indescribable but unmistakable. It is authority. It is expectant. It is challenging. It dares defiance and demands attention. He wore the look and He was sizing me up. I was very aware of my appearance. Mistress told me His preferences regarding dress. She had picked out my clothes. She had chosen this outfit before...She likes it. I didn't feel uncomfortable wearing them but they weren't my routine attire. I could feel the slit in the short, black skirt separate as my knee opened it with each step. I heard the click of the heels on the concrete. And I watched Him watch me. I went up the steps to the porch where He sat. he motioned me to the chair beside Him. He began to speak. His voice was not harsh but it was firm. He was asking questions and I was answering. He was telling me, in very general terms, what He expected. Somewhere along the line, I realized I wasn't saying "Sir" quite often enough. He didn't say it but I saw the look when He expected it but it wasn't there. He chatted for a little while until, I believe, He thought I was comfortable enough to begin. He rose, motioned for me to go inside, and followed me as I did. I was down the steps, on the landing, when I felt His hands on my back. He shoved me up against the wall. "Put your hands flat against the wall." I hesitated. I didn't know it would begin before W/we got inside. He pushed against my back again and I did as He ordered. He quickly used His foot to spread my ankles wide apart. My face was pressed into the cool plaster. I heard metal. He took one wrist quickly and clicked the handcuff closed on it. Just as rapidly, He had my second wrist secured. Metal handcuffs...this was new to me. Taking me by the elbow, He guided me down the rest of the steps and W/we went inside. I was relieved to be in. The whole time, I just knew someone would come into the hall and see me like that. My relief was short-lived. I had to go to the bathroom. I thought I'd have a chance before things got started. The drive from work takes an hour. I knew I couldn't wait much longer. I'd have to ask Him for permission to go. I'd have to ask in front of Mistress. She was watching. I waited a little while, thinking maybe the cuffs would come off. They didn't my bladder over-rode my embarrassment and I asked. I could see They were both rather amused at my predicament. "Sure", He said. I waited for Him to take off the cuffs. He didn't and I knew then that He had no intention of doing so. Mistress had warned me. She'd told me about His sense of humor. He was already enjoying this. I heard Him chuckle softly. Mistress was grinning, too. "Ok," I thought, "I can do this...one way or another." I walked into the bathroom and pushed the door shut with my foot. It opened back up immediately. They were going to watch. I was kind of glad I couldn't think about that part too much. By now, I really had to go. Necessity being the mother of invention, I accepted the challenge. Metal is a very unforgiving, harsh material. I found though, that I could twist my wrists around but it would cost me. They were bruised and hurt for a week after. First, I had to get the seat up. I had to hike up my skirt. One side, using my leg to hold it up, and then the other. It took a minute but I managed to keep it up. At least, I hadn't worn a slip and I had on thigh-high hose. That helped. Now for the undies. I had to reach much higher to get them down. My wrists were straining hard against the handcuffs. I worked them down slowly...side to side...inch by inch. They were finally at what I believed was a safe distance and I plopped down on the seat. What a relief. I'd forgotten for a moment that I was being watched. I could feel my face redden. I struggled again to get to the toilet tissue. It was across from me. I got up...baby-stepping because I couldn't let my panties fall all the way down. I knew I'd never get them up again. Turning, I bent to the paper and got what I needed. I had to sit back down to use it. I dared the quickest of glances at my audience. I didn't get a good look but I saw enough to know They were still quite amused. I wanted just to rest for a minute but thought better of it. I had to put my clothes back in order. The panties were even harder to get up than they were to get down. I turned and twisted my wrists on the struggle. The undies were crooked and bunched but I got them up. The skirt, at least, came back down easily. I still wasn't finished. I had to get the seat back down. My wrists were hurting more and more but I was determined to pull this off. I managed to flush. I started out the door but was hastily reminded that I hadn't washed my hands. "Good grief", I thought. By this time, my shoulders were protesting all the activity. I managed to get to the faucet, got it running and washed them. One more big reach from behind and I got the water off. Just one more thing. I backed up to the towel and dried them. At least I could rub my poor wrists. I learned one important lesson. If anything like this is ever set up again, I won't forget to stop somewhere and take care of business before I get where I'm going. One thing did cross my mind as I walked out of the bathroom. I already felt like I'd been through the wringer and W/we didn't even have a good start. I kept my head lowered, too. I didn't want Them to see the smug little look that I was trying to wipe off my face. I wondered if The thought I'd be able to manage. He was talking to Mistress. He let Her know W/we'd had a little talk before coming in. All the while, He was taking things out of a large duffel-type bag. It looked to me like He was pulling out miles and miles of rope. He stood and came to where w was. Now, after the fact, He removed the handcuffs. "You did well" caught me by surprise. I stammered out a "Thank You" and, after a glance from Mistress, added the "Sir". I made a mental note that it would be best if I didn't hesitate or forget again. It was a relief to have the hard metal off my wrists. He backed up a step and told me to get undressed. He watched intently as each item was removed. I got the distinct impression that I was being carefully measured. I stood naked in from of Him. He stared for what seemed an eternity then moved around behind me. He put His hands on my upper arms, testing flexibility. I heard what sounded like a grunt of approval. He kept trying to force my elbows together and I couldn't help wondering again where this was going. Reaching from behind, He cupped my breasts. I gasped sharply as He took each nipple between thumb and forefinger and twisted them...hard. He chuckled a bit when He did it the second time. He went back to His bag of tricks and brought out a gag. It was a wooden bar with leather straps on each side. Hooking His thumb between my teeth, He pulled my jaw down and pushed it far into my mouth. The straps were tightly secured. I got a pat on the face and a smile. I also began to realize that this would take what I knew of bondage to a higher level. Once again, He checked His supplies. This time, He came back with a large coil of heavy, white rope and wrist restraints. He got busy. The rope was spread out and my wrists were cuffed together. The rope was wound around them over and over. He stretched my arms taut as He secured me to the ceiling hook. He moved in front again and looked me directly in the eyes. I wasn't exactly afraid of Him but the familiar apprehension was building inside me. He asked if I was all right and I mumbled "Yes Sir" as best I could around the chunk of wood in my mouth. The blindfold quickly covered my eyes. He put a length of leather in my hand and told me it was my safe-word. I was to drop it if I reached my limit. He began winding the rope around my torso. It was tight. It was wrapped a number of times around my waist, above and below my breasts....tight. Breathing wasn't really restricted but I was aware of the rope with each breath I took. He was behind me again. He picked my left foot up by the ankle and would the rope around it several times. I held onto the chains on the wrist cuffs to stay balanced on the other foot. I didn't know I would stay that way for a long time. The rope was now on my calf as He bent my knee. He was looping it around my thigh and calf, holding my leg in a bent position. A few more times around both and then I felt my leg raised as high as it could go. He fixed it to the ceiling, angled away from my side. Blinded, I could only wait. In my ear, I heard Him ask again if I was ok. I nodded "yes". The sudden thrust of His hand into my sex set me wobbling on the one foot that held me up. He chuckled again. The assault stopped as quickly as it had started. I waited again. I heard myself breathing harder. With my legs held apart, I could feel cool air blowing against the wetness there. My body was responding strongly. I could hear Him rummaging through His things. Silence. The first slap of the strap against my ass nearly knocked me off my foot. I felt my knee buckle as it shot through me. I heard my muffled yelp of surprise and pain. Blow followed blow until I felt myself leaning into them...wanting more. But He stopped, asked me again if I was all right. I quickly nodded yes, hoping He would continue. He was massaging my reddened behind and telling Mistress what a lovely shade of pink it was. His other hand was working between my legs again. I wanted to cum badly. I couldn't even ask for permission..I felt His finger in my mouth. He was moving the gag around to allow my spit to flow out. I hadn't been aware that there was so much. He was very careful to keep things safe. He would do this many more times before the night was done. He moved back in front of me. I was breathing harder and the ropes seemed to draw tighter as I did. He took each nipple between a thumb and forefinger and pinched very hard...and twisted them. The pain a deep groan from my throat and I found myself on my toes trying to escape the misery. He eased the pressure but only a little. He let go of one of them and plunged His hand into my sex again. The combined pain and pleasure threatened to drive me over the edge. I was barely hanging on to control. He withdrew His hands and was behind again. Once more the strap began to fall with regularity and increasing intensity. As each one landed, my moans became deeper. The want grew stronger. He stopped and faced me again. He put one hand to a breast and the other to my clit, I knew His intention. He worked both of them hard. The pleasure was heightened by the pain. "Please, Sir" I was trying to squeeze out around the gag. He chuckled. "You want to cum, then cum". I did....hard and strong. The spasms shook me where I stood. My body jerked uncontrollably but His hands never lost their targets. He made me cum over and over and I felt myself try vainly to escape. There was nowhere to go. Again, the chuckle. He finally took pity on me and slowed down, then stopped. He wrapped one big arm around me as He loosened my dangling leg and let it down. I could barely stand. I was still trembling badly. He kept His hold on me as He took the rope off my leg and rubbed warmth back into it. His hands moved sensually all over my shivering body. My senses were returning. He brought my hands down from the ceiling and removed the rope that bound my wrists and removed the cuffs. He kneaded them to help the blood return. I hadn't realized they were so cold. He helped me to the floor and let me rest there for a minute. He brought me water to drink. This was not the end. "Do you know what a hog-tie is?" I answered with the now-automatic "yes Sir". He gathered the tangled ropes and began to straighten them out. He looked me again in the eyes and asked if I was ok to continue. Once again, I said "yes Sir". It was a little harder to say this time. I now knew something about how He operated and realized there would be little about it that was gentle. He stood me up again and began once more winding the rope around my waist. The rope circled me many times and then was drawn, from front to back, around my shoulder and pulled tight. He repeated the same action on the other side and repeated the process a number of times. The rope was guided to my wrists. They were bound in the same fashion....round and round and round. He moved it up to my elbows and repeated the circles. My body was held very rigid in this position. I tried to stay relaxed but the pressure of the rope made it difficult. He paused for a moment. "You've seen picture of girls in bondage." I glanced away, a little embarrassed. He cupped my chin and drew my face to His until I had to meet His eyes. "Yes Sir". "You're going to see yourself like that." I'd seen the pictures before and the thought was a little unnerving. He brought what looked like a bunch of little leather straps. There was a rubber ball in the middle of the mess. He pushed this into my mouth first until it was behind my teeth. He drew a strap that was attached to each side behind my head and fastened them together. He brought two more straps that were on the ball and brought them over the front of my face. They went around each side of my nose, over my eyes, and joined to make one strap that went over the top of my head. He secured this to the strap in the back. He certainly believed in making things snug. My torso and head were now strongly encased. He told me to go into the bathroom and take a good look at myself. He told me that this is exactly what I had asked for. I couldn't help but stare at the face in the mirror. I barely recognized it as me. I dropped my head, feeling ashamed, but He told me I'd better look until He told me to stop. I did. That face is frozen in my mind. With my shoulders drawn tightly back and that thing on my head, I realized that, yes, I did look like the pictures I had seen. I was intrigued by it. He called me away from the mirror and told me to get on the floor on my stomach. It was difficult giving the way I was trussed but I did manage. Again, the chuckle. He obviously enjoyed my struggle. He got His rope and sat at the floor by my feet. He raised them up and began coiling the rope around. After ten times or so, He moved to my knees and did the same thing. I could feel the rope being forced between my ankles and then tied to the ones that crossed my shoulder in the back. He began drawing my feet toward my head. It was slow. It took awhile to keep threading the rope through itself. I could feel a burn start at the back of my neck but decided not to try to let Him know. It would serve as a reminder for days to come. He finished the job and sat back to check His work. He seemed satisfied and then proceeded with an informative lecture regarding the ins and outs of working with rope. Again, His thumb found my mouth as He let the spit run down my chin. I was truly humbled at this point. I felt my helplessness very strongly. He rolled me over on my side. He explained that the breathing process can be impaired in that position and He was not one to take chances where safety was concerned. As He turned me, the ropes bit into my skin everywhere...intensifying the feeling of bondage. He repeated this process a few more times during His lesson. My body was cramped and beginning to hurt. He continued the lesson. Occasionally, He would look me over and chuckle. It wasn't a menacing sound. It just sounded like He was really enjoying Himself. I wouldn't tell Him that He wasn't the only one having a good time. I guess He decided I had learned this lesson well enough. He began to release the ropes. What a relief. As each loop was undone, I felt the pins and needles sensation as blood went back to where it was supposed to be. He let my ankles down to the floor and took the rope off my knees. I could begin to relax again. He sat me up slowly and removed the ropes from my waist and shoulders. I never knew it could feel so good to stretch even a little bit. He took the bindings off my head and the ball from my mouth. I worked my jaw up and down a few times to limber it up and realized I was able to swallow again. I took a deep breath for the first time in what felt like an hour. He was not finished. He was back at His bag. He said He wanted to introduce me to a favorite toy of His. He told me to meet "Big Red". It was a red rubber ball....another gag. This one didn't have so many straps on it, but the ball was large. I knew my eyes got big when I saw it and I involuntarily backed up a little. It didn't matter, He just moved closer. He opened my mouth and began to work it in. It was a fairly soft rubber so it could be inched in without hurting anything. I've never had so much of anything in my mouth at once. My jaw was already aching from the previous gags and this one forced it open even farther. He didn't leave it in very long. He said again that He just wanted me to meet it. That, perhaps, I would have an opportunity in the future to get better acquainted with it. It took longer to get it out than it did to get it in. I was very relieved to know it would not stay in long. That thing would really take some getting used to. He had one more trick for me. It was a very simple one and that should have told me He had something more up His sleeve. Still sitting on the floor, He took one of my feet and brought it back against my thigh. He began again winding rope around me. He wound it around my calf and thigh about six inches along my leg. It held my knee bent and forced it away from my body. He repeated this with my other leg. I had to put my hands flat on the floor behind me so I could stay upright. He would not let me lay down. My knees were forced open in that position and I was completely open to Him. The assault began with no warning. His hand was in my sex. He moved it everywhere forcefully. I was very soon begging Him to allow me to cum. I was so sensitive by now that it required little to get me to that point. His quick nod of approval surprised me. I expected to have to wait. I should have known He had a reason. I came, over and over and over. But His hand would not stop....or even slow down. I could not escape the hand. I tried to back away from it but it only followed me relentlessly. I wanted more...I wanted it to stop. Every time I thought I couldn't take any more, it would start to build again. Waves and waves of pleasure crashed over me. My body was jerking beyond any control. Still, He wouldn't stop. I was beyond thought now. The only reality I knew centered between my legs. It just kept on and on. And, again, He chuckled. Finally, I had no choice. My body could take no more. The slightest touch became ecstacy...and agony. And then, just agony. "Red, red, red, red...." I whispered. But, He heard me and slowed His motions. Slower and slower, until I was able to stand it at all. And, finally, He stopped. My body was still out of control. My cunt throbbed from what it had been through. It was a little easier to breathe but I was only taking in great gulps of air. The jerking motions slowed and stopped. He began removing the ropes and I was able to truly relax. I was coming down from a great high. It had been wonderful. He moved to a chair and motioned me to sit at His feet. He and Mistress were talking as if nothing had been going on for the last two hours. It didn't matter. I was beyond conversation of any sort. It was comforting to feel His hand as He ran it through my hair. He began to pack His things. There was rope everywhere. He stuffed it all back into His bag, thanked Mistress and left. I doubt that I'll ever need to use them, but I sure learned a lot of very cool rope tricks. .....annie
