Safeword: Storm Clouds(51)

"Is there a step beyond that?"

"Yes, but it's really designed more for a human who is planning to be turned at some point. It opens up all of your thoughts to me. Whatever you are thinking at the moment. Whatever you are remembering at the moment. It even allows me to go into your memories and wander around some if I want. It forces you to learn to shield all of the time. Any time you aren't shielding and we are near each other I will hear your thoughts and see your memories."

He was deftly eating the Chinese food with chopsticks now. "I had thought maybe we'd jump a step or two, but it sounds like they are intended to be done one at a time, to kind of let me learn about this shielding business. Can you explain how one shields?"

"It will sound corny to you, but you really just imagine a shield around you, and it is there. The better your imagination, the better the shield. You kind of have to hold the shield in place all of the time without thinking about it, that's the trick to it. When a child is potty training they have to learn to hold their muscles all of the time and only relax them when they are sitting on the toilet. As an adult, you don't even realize you are holding those muscles anymore, but learning how to do it was really hard. Shielding is kind of the same way, once you learn to do it you won't even realize you are holding the shield in place."

"How do I imagine it in the first place?"

"First you need to decide what kind of shield you think would work best. Some use metal around them, some new vampires put themselves in a big bulletproof glass bubble, some use space age foil like they supposedly found at Roswell, some build up a pretty stone wall, others pour concrete around them. Whatever you do it needs to enclose you on the sides as well as the top and bottom, and it needs to let clean energy in all of the time, but nothing else without your permission. It needs to be a few feet out from your body so it encloses your aura. It can be any material you want it to be, as long as your imagination will make that material hold off any kind of metaphysical attack."

"I kind of like the space age foil idea, made into a huge beach ball around me."

"Very good, whatever feels right is what is right for you. Some prefer an egg shape, but if the beach ball works for you then go with it. Imagine it around you, make it able to change shape so it is around you whether you are sitting or standing or sleeping in bed."

"How do I know if it is working?"



"You don't, not until I can mind link to you so you can test it out."



"So how do we do the next step?"



"It works the same way the other binding worked, but you won't have to take an oath while I'm doing it, and I'll put a different, ahh, cocktail, into your bloodstream when I bite you."

"Is this going to be another orgasmic thing?"

"It can be, doesn't have to be."

"Can we.. can we go to the bedroom and do it? Get undressed and do it, then have sex and at the end of sex you could bite me again and do the orgasm thing then?"

Kendra smiled, "Yes, we can do that. But I don't want to bite your neck twice tonight, so I'll put the first bite at your groin."

She smelled arousal, and nice hit of adrenaline. Oh yes, he wanted to do this. What she didn't tell him was that she could put something in her bite to give him a raging hard-on that would make him hornier than he could imagine, and that would keep him from reaching climax from that particular hard-on until her next bite. But then she realized that she should tell him, because she wanted to make sure she didn't blow his trust.

"Eric, I have something I can do with my bite. It will give you kind of a super hard-on, and then you won't come until I bite you at the end. It puts me in control of when your orgasm happens. Are you okay with that?"

He thought about it a minute and said, "If I tell you to give me the second bite and end it, you must do so immediately. You can bite me whenever you want to end things, unless I tell you to do it sooner, and then you must do it as soon as I tell you to."

She smiled, "Agreed."

They went to the bedroom and began kissing. Two Doms, both letting the other take the lead occasionally, but neither of them really submitting so much as taking turns being the aggressor. Or, sometimes both being the aggressor at the same time. She pulled his shirt off and he started unbuttoning her blouse while she started unbuckling his belt. He took her blouse off as she took his pants off, both of them maneuvering around each other like a well choreographed dance. Eric dropped to one knee in front of her and pulled her pants down. She stepped out of them and he stood and picked her up and walked the four steps to his bed, gently laying her down. He moved on top of her and kissed her and then she flipped him over and started kissing her way down his body. She worked her way down until she could put him in her mouth, though not much of it fit. She moved down and gave his balls some attention before moving to his femoral artery and biting, concentrating to numb it, then taking a drink, then putting the correct agents in to bind him properly, taking another drink, and lastly putting the bits in to give him a raging hard on. Just for good measure, after another few sips she added some more to give him even more of a raging hard on, because she wanted him to be so hard it hurt. So maybe she was being just a bit sadistic at the moment. When she drank the last little bit she heard him moaning. She slowly slid her fangs out and rubbed her tongue across the bite marks, making sure everything coagulated like it should and then that there was enough of her saliva to make things heal up quickly.
