“You can continue.” I urge her to finish her story.
“Basically, he had an agenda. He took me out, said all the right things. Told me I was beautiful. Asked me to be his girlfriend. Some cliché, Cinderella-type stuff, and I was at his feet. And after a few more dates and him treating me like I was God’s gift to green earth, I gave him all of me. I let him have my virginity. Hell, I even told him I loved him.” She takes a sip of wine, but instead of picking the fork back up and eating more, she nervously starts running her palms up and down her jean-clad thighs.
“Hanna?” I stop and place my hand on her shoulder, bending my head just enough to see her face better. Her chest is red, her eyes wet, and I hear the small whimper.
“Theo. Can we please not do this tonight? Please go. I can’t… listen to this.” She stands, pacing the room and growing more nervous, her anxiety heightening. I see the pain so deeply embedded in her eyes that even I feel remorse, and I don’t even know the whole story.
“No. I’m not leaving. You need to calm down; you are getting too worked up.” I stand and move to her.
“No, please, just leave! Please.”
Suddenly, my mind hones in, focusing on what needs to be done. Control. I have to gain it back, and I have to show her that she needs it. Grabbing her by the hips, I lift her and move us to the couch, and she yelps.
“Theo! What are you doing?” Sitting down first, I lay her across my lap, and before she can ask me again, I swat her round ass so hard she screams.
“Theo! What are you—”
Thwack! Another one.
“Please—”
Thwack!
“You need to calm down, and if this will get you to listen, then so be it,” I tell her, slapping her once more, and this time, she moans. Not just a little noise—it’s loud, erotic, and it takes everything in me not to remove her jeans and panties, to hit skin with skin, show her what pleasure really feels like. “Was that a moan, puppet?”
She hesitates, slowly lifting her head and turning it to the side to look at me. Swallowing thickly, she nods.
“Yes. Another… please?”
My chest swells with pleasure and pride. “I knew you were the perfect woman for this arrangement.”
I pull my hand back and give her thick ass one more slap, the sound echoing in the room. I help sit her up, and she doesn’t say anything. Instead, she keeps her head hung in shame.
“Come here, Hanna.” I pull her to me and make her straddle my lap. Her body tries to put up a fight, and I’m assuming she thinks I can’t handle her weight. Oh, but I can. When she’s fully seated on my lap, I place my hand around her neck and kiss her cheeks, her jaw, the places on her neck that are exposed.
I move her hair from her face, and she looks me in the eyes, slowly leaning back. “This seems a lot like romance. Your tender touch? I thought whatever this is can’t have romance attached?”
Smiling, I nod. “It’s called aftercare. Do not mistake it for love, Hanna. When I’m rough with you, I know I need to take care of you and tend to you afterward. I need to make sure you feel safe in the environment. That it wasn’t too much for you.”
“Okay, so what now?” Her question is breathy, filled with wonder.
“Now, we pick a safe word. We won’t always have sex like this. There will be times where I will need a release without the other things, and I fully expect you to voice when you need a release as well.”
“I’m embarrassed to admit I liked that. Why did I like it, Theo?”
I shrug. “We will find out why as we start to explore, but what’s for sure is you need to voice to me the things you like and don’t, and if something you don’t like happens when we are in the middle of fucking, you need to have a safe word.”
“Like stop?”
“No.” I chuckle. “That’s something you may say when you actually want more. If the pleasure seems too much but you still want to keep going… that word may come out often.” I run my hands over her thighs, loving the feel of her curves and the soft skin that isn’t distracted from by bones. It’s so god damn enticing. Moving around to her ass and massaging the skin that my hand surely left prints on. She squirms a bit but keeps her mind here and focused. I already know what the word is, but it will be interesting to see what she comes up with. I love a little game with my submissive toy.
