I didn’t stop ogling him until he held up the flogger. At that point, I flinched.
“This is a suede flogger,” he informed me. “It’s one of the softer ones and offers a slight sting. It’s not an instrument to only be used to inflict pain. It can be, yes. But those who understand it understand the pleasure that it can bring. Do you have any questions?”
“Yes, Master.” My gaze darted down to the flogger. “Are you going to punish me with that?”
“No. I’m going to use it on you.”
Okay, now I was sincerely confused.
“Your punishment is that you are not allowed to come, pet. Do you know why you’re being punished?”
“Because I failed to keep my eyes down and my mouth shut during the party.”
“You did. Considering it was your first outing, I am impressed with how well you did, but you disobeyed my orders. Therefore, you will be punished, and next time, you’ll do even better. So, your punishment is that you cannot come during our scene together.”
“I’m sure I can manage that.” That didn’t seem too harsh. I did not see how a flogger—I didn’t care how soft he said it was—was going to make me want to orgasm in the first place.
A smile tugged at Master’s lips. “Don’t underestimate me, pet. I know what I’m doing and my objective is to make you come.”
“But you said I can’t.”
“No, I said you’re not allowed to come. If you do, I will punish you for that infraction.”
Wow. It seemed to be a never-ending cycle.
“From this point forward, you are not to speak unless I ask you a direct question, or unless you need to use your safeword. Do you remember what it is?”
“Red, Master.”
“Very good.”
Master moved toward the corner and that was the first time I noticed there were chains connected to the ceiling. They were adjustable apparently, because Master pulled them lower, putting the padded leather cuffs on the ends within my reach. Sort of.
“Stand on your toes,” he instructed.
I did and he lifted my arms above my head and restrained me with the cuffs. They were high enough that I had to remain on my toes so that I didn’t dangle freely in the air. The position was uncomfortable, but not so much that it bothered me. Not yet anyway.
“Do not come, pet.”
Yeah. That wasn’t going to be a problem.
The strands of the flogger slid down my spine, then lower, over my ass. The leather was cool against my skin.
“I do like this sweet little ass,” he said, then swatted me with the flogger.
It didn’t hurt.
The leather strands went lower, on the backs of my legs, behind my knees, over my calves.
“You should always be required to wear heels. Especially with legs as nice as these.”
The sensations along with the uplifting words made me tremble.
Master caressed my entire body with the strands of the flogger, paying the most attention to my breasts and my ass. The leather was soothing as it slid over my back, my shoulders, my neck.
“I’m going to warm up your back now. This should not hurt.”
I had no idea what that meant, but then the leather left my skin, only to return with a gentle thud over my shoulder blades. Master was right. It didn’t hurt. He continued, moving slowly from my shoulders to my ass. Up, down, again and again. The rhythm was so consistent I felt myself drifting into a strange state of bliss.
I could admit it was slightly arousing, but I seriously doubted I could come like this.
Then the slaps became more intense, leaving a slight sting on my skin. It wasn’t so much painful as it was making me aware that it was there. Still, it was bearable, and before I knew it, I was once again lingering in a state of mindless ecstasy. It was enjoyable.
When he changed the motion, I floated back to earth, once again feeling the sting, only this time, there was something intensely erotic about his movements. I felt my body warming, my insides tingling.
Then he paused, moving around so that he was in front of me.
“Color, little one?”
“Green,” I sang out. “Definitely green.”
He chuckled as his hand slipped between my thighs, his finger sliding inside me without warning. Instantly my arousal spiked as he fingered me leisurely. I moaned as the ache inside me began to build.
“Have you ever experienced subspace?”
I shook my head. I had absolutely no idea what that even was.
Master pushed two fingers in, gently fucking me.
“Get ready to fly, little one.”
I frowned, trying to grasp what he was telling me, but it was hard to ignore the methodical fucking of his fingers. I needed more, but he was keeping my orgasm just out of reach.
Fortunately, since I wasn’t allowed to come, Master removed his hand, then moved out of my line of sight. The flogger’s tails picked up their rhythm, a little harder than before. This time, I felt the gentle stings across my body, as though my skin was tingling from the inside out. My nipples pebbled as a sense of euphoria consumed me.
