He stepped into the room and toed his shoes off, making just a little noise so that she was aware of his presence. He wanted to see if she would obey and keep her position or if she would move when she heard him.
He’d watched her as she stood in the hall, turning from his room to hers. He’d purposely not told her which room to go into. Would she go into his room or would she wait for him to invite her in?
Once she’d decided and gone into her bedroom he’d stealthily slipped into his room and gotten his toy bag. He wasn’t going to use most of what was in there, but he had some soft red rope that would look beautiful against her pearlescent skin.
One day he would take her to his home and his studio. There he would suspend her in his ropes and photograph her. A picture to keep forever.
Would she enjoy being bound? Had she ever been bound before? He loved his ropes and wasn’t sure he could give them up for anyone.
He stood just inside the door to the bedroom watching her for a long minute before walking up beside her and placing his bag on the bed. He carefully opened the bag and placed a few things on the bed. Some he would be using and some he wouldn’t.
He wanted her to see everything and wonder if he would be introducing her to all of the equipment. He still hadn’t spoken to her and was waiting to see if she’d react. Other than a little jump at the sound she hadn’t changed her position. Something that was very hard for a beginner. He was proud of her already.
“Nicole,” he said her name softly. She kept her head down. “Good girl, you may look up now.”
She raised her head and her eyes looking up and tilting her head back to see his face.
“Your position is almost perfect. Spread your legs a little wider and place your hands palm up on your knees. This is how I will expect to find you anytime I ask you to kneel. That means beside the bed or anywhere else. Understand.”
At her nod, he replied, “Verbal answers please. That way there can be no misunderstanding. If you need clarification on anything I tell you or ask, you may request it. Since tonight will be our first play session, I will not restrict your speech. On other occasions I may request that you seek permission to speak, but not tonight.”
“Yes, Sir,” she answered softly, never taking her eyes off of him.
“I’d like you to stand now and face me. Legs shoulder-width apart and hands clasped behind your back.”
He could see her struggling to get up and reached down to put his hands under her arms and lift her to her feet.
“Thank you, Sir,” she said, her face red and lips trembling.
“I want you to spend a little time everyday practicing until you can sit like that comfortably and get up easily. Next time I want you to place a pillow on the floor to kneel on also.”
“Yes, Sir.” She took a step back from him and moved into the position he’d asked her to.”
Paul took another step back and looked her up and down before indicating that she twirl by moving his finger in a circle. When she stumbled, he shook his head. “We’ll be adding some balance work to our morning sessions.”
“I’m just nervous, Sir,” she said, her voice full of snark.
“That’ll be five more. I’d watch my attitude, or we will have to break this into more than one session and you really don’t want that.”
Nicole dropped her eyes, “Yes Sir,” her voice soft and compliant this time.
Paul smiled at her and sat on the side of the bed. He crooked his finger, motioning for her to come to him.
Nicole moved between his widespread legs and stood nervously facing him. Paul plac
ed one of his large hands on each of her hips. “Relax. What are your safe words?”
“Red and yellow,” she answered and licked her lips.
“I normally don’t allow safe words during a punishment, but since this is your first time, I’ll allow you to use yellow. Use it only if you need to. If I think you’re using it when you don’t need to, I’ll increase the number of swats you’ll get. Understand?”
“Yes, Sir.”
He watched her face another few seconds before flipping her until she lay over his legs.
“Oh.” Nicole let out as her stomach made contact with his hard thighs. He pulled her close with one hand and started rubbing circles on her bottom with the other.
Nicole grabbed on to his lower leg to balance herself. With his hand holding her waist she didn’t feel as scared about falling but being able to hold on his leg gave her a feeling of security.
