Safeword: Storm Clouds(19)

"Yes Sir."

Kendra undressed, folding her clothes neatly and putting them on the small sofa by the door and then walking back to the bed and standing beside it. When she heard him coming back down the steps she put her hands behind her back and looked down.

"Beautiful Kendra. You are stunningly beautiful."



He walked to the foot of the bed and threw something on it. She wanted to look but kept her head where it was.



"You may look up now, Kendra."



Damn, looking up was harder than she thought it would be. Having her naked and him fully clothed was, well, it forced her to acknowledge that she had handed power over to him. She looked up and looked into his eyes and knew she had the eyes of a submissive when she did it. She'd been on the receiving end of those eyes enough that it was very hard to realize that she was giving them to someone now. But she wanted to be here, with him, doing this. It was hard, but it was turning her on. He was turning her on. His strength and control, not to mention she could smell his arousal and hear the change in his heartbeat when he walked in and saw her. Her submission did that to him. Wow, she‘d known there was power in submission, but this was a reminder that submission gave a different kind of power.

He gave her a gentle smile. "I realize that under normal circumstances it isn't safe for a submissive to allow herself to be tied up by someone she just met. But these aren't normal circumstances since you can use your mind thing to call Abbot if you want and then he'd probably kill me, or maybe just make me wish I was dead, if he found out I hadn't respected a safeword. I think it will be easier for you if you are restrained. You are having trouble submitting, and I want to free you so you don't have a choice anymore - not unless you want to tell me about storm clouds, of course. And that's the way it will be if I tie you up, if you say raindrops I will back off on the intensity of whatever I'm doing, but I won't untie you unless you call storm clouds and then the scene will end."

Kendra didn't have a problem with that. It might take her a few minutes, but she could break out of being tied up with rope. She wasn't afraid of giving up control by being tied with rope because rope couldn't really hold her.

Eric continued, "Before you tell me if you are comfortable being tied up, you should know that this is heavy duty rappelling rope meant for rescue operations." He pointed to one of the bundles. "You aren't supposed to put more than fourteen hundred pounds on this rope, but it has been lab tested to hold up to sixty-five hundred pounds." He pointed to the other bundle. "That one has been tested to hold up to nine thousand pounds."

Shit. Depending on how he tied her up, there was a good chance she would not be able to get out of it. And Abbot had warned him not to tie her off to anything, so he'd probably just tie legs to ankles or something to immobilize her. And she figured he'd know how to tie a knot that would hold, considering he boated and rappelled.

"Kendra, look back down at your feet please and listen to me a moment." He waited for her to look down and then continued, "I want to free you from the conflict you feel about submitting so you can enjoy what I do to you - both the painful parts and the pleasant parts. I promise to give you both pain and pleasure tonight, and I promise to respect your safewords. If you need to stop and talk about something we will, if you need for the scene to stop then it will stop. But I think you need help getting jump started into submission. You need to be restrained. Do you trust me to restrain you?"

"I'm scared... but I trust you. Sir."

"I kind of want you a little bit scared, but only scared of the unknown, not scared for your safety. I don't want you terribly afraid. Can you tell me which kind of scared you are?"

"Scared of the unknown, Sir."

"One more question, look at me for this one, please? I should have asked you this before we started the scene. Don't answer this one with Sir, I'm not asking you this question as a submissive, okay?"

"Okay."

"How far do you want me to go tonight? Are you ready for sex? Or should I stop before we reach that point?"

Kendra smiled. "The whole drinking your blood and making our auras mix thing usually happens after sex, so I think it's pretty safe to say if I felt close enough to you to drink your blood the way I did that we're close enough for sex."

He grinned. "Not quite the answer I'd have expected, and certainly one I've never had before. But, I think you are right, that act seemed to be as intimate as sex, maybe even more so. Anything else you want to say before I ask you to you climb on the bed so I can restrain you?"

"Yes. I can't get diseases and can't act as a carrier either unless I go immediately from one person to another. Which I have not done tonight, obviously. I also can't get pregnant, so a condom is not necessary. If you want to use one anyway I'll understand, but, it's really not needed."
