Chapter Four

 

Dani tried each of the music buttons, finally settling for a soft jazz. Her very first Master had loved music, explaining that he found it heightened the senses and increased pleasure. He hadn’t been wrong.

“Do you enjoy music, Ethan?” she asked.

“Yes. I do.” He cleared his throat. “I especially enjoy this kind.”

“Good.” Dani smiled. “Something we have in common.”

“I hope we have more than that in common, Mistress.”

She walked over to stand beside him. “Are you asking me something, Ethan?” She studied his face. Something else blazed in his eyes along with the heat that was unmistakable. Dani wasn’t sure she wanted to know yet what it was but the feeling of connection she’d felt earlier rose up within her again.

Not now, Dani. Pleasure first. Remember. You only came to play.

Standing on tiptoe, she brushed her mouth against his. His lips were just as soft as they looked. She licked her tongue along the closed seam, enjoying his taste and taking a measure of satisfaction in his reaction when he leaned his head slightly closer to hers.

“Later I will want to kiss you,” she told him. “To feel your tongue in my mouth. Will you like that?”

“My Mistress has a wonderful flavor,” he answered. “It will give me great pleasure.”

She trailed her fingers over his cheeks and down his jawline, enjoying the masculine feel of him. He kept his lashes lowered, as was appropriate, but she knew if she could see his eyes they’d be ablaze with pleasure. It was obvious that he liked being touched, in all ways, and Dani loved tactile stimulation. She thought she could spend hours touching this man everywhere and never tire of it.

“I’m going to give you a different kind of pleasure right now, Ethan.” She closed her hand over his cock, squeezing it gently. “But you must not come. Do you understand? Not until I tell you that you can.”

“Yes. I understand. And my Mistress has my thanks.”

“I know the stimulation that this can give you. As a sub my Master used the whip handle on me often. I will try to give you as much pleasure as I received.”

“I am grateful.”

His lashes were still lowered but Dani could have sworn she saw one corner of his mouth turned up just a hair. A sub with spirit who still knew his place. The excitement spiraling within her kicked up a notch.

“Good.”

She coated the handle of the whip liberally with the lube. Separating the cheeks of his ass with one hand, she stared for a long moment at the tight opening of his anus, enjoying the sight of it. Then she pressed the handle to it and pushed until it breached the ring of muscle and into his rectum. She took her time, sliding it in carefully. When it was fully seated, she reached one hand around and wrapped her fingers around his cock in a loose grip.

“Are you ready, Ethan?”

“Yes.” He nodded once.

She moved the handle in and out of his ass, slowly at first, feeling his cock move in her hand and watching the expression on his face. The pace of his breathing increased with the pace of her strokes and his cheeks darkened with a rush of lust. When he rocked his hips back and forth she stopped her movement of the whip handle.

“You may not move your body,” she ordered. “If you do I will stop and we are done. Your pleasure will come only from what I do to you. What I permit you to respond to. Are we clear?”

She could see him fighting his natural reaction but he nodded.

“Don’t forget that. Not for a minute.”

Dani resumed fucking him with the whip, hardly able to believe the surge of arousal that raced through her and made the walls of her pussy quiver with hunger. She had total control over this man’s sexual enjoyment and it gave her a feeling of exhilaration she hadn’t thought possible. She wondered if she was going to come without ever having him touch her.

When she glanced back at the cabinet that held the display of toys, an idea popped into her brain.

“Do not move,” she ordered him.

Leaving the handle of the whip still inside him, she hurried over to the cabinet, studied everything in one of the drawers and pulled out a dildo that caught her eye. When she pressed the bottom of it, it vibrated and she smiled. Oh yes, this would do the trick.

There was a small but wide little bench tucked into a corner and she dragged it over in front of Ethan. It would be perfect for her purposes.

“Would you like to watch me come, Ethan?” she asked him, and was rewarded by the flare of excitement in his eyes.

“Yes, Mistress,” he rasped.

“We’re both going to come,” she told him. “Without touching each other. Have you done that before, Ethan?”

“I have.”

“And did you enjoy it?”

The muscles in his body tightened. “I did. Very much.”

“When we are finished you will tell me if you enjoyed doing it with me as much as with your previous Mistresses.”

“I know yours will be the best,” he assured her.

She pressed her mouth to his, licking his lips again. “We’ll see.”

Removing the whip handle from his ass, she tossed it to the side and liberally greased the dildo. She watched his stomach muscles tighten as she inserted it slowly. It was obvious he wanted to thrust back against it but he controlled himself as she’d ordered. When it was all the way in, she pressed the bottom and it vibrated with a low rhythm.

“Does that stimulate you, Ethan? Have you ever come with just a dildo in your ass like that?”

“Yes, Mistress, I have.”

“And did you enjoy it?”

“I will enjoy it with you more.”

She hid her smile as she pulled up her dress and stepped out of her thong. “You may look at my pussy, Ethan. Do you like how it looks?” She was finally understanding the pleasure her Doms got from the questions they asked her. It wasn’t just vanity. It was the rush they got from it.

“It’s beautiful,” he told her.

“I didn’t fully wax before tonight because I wasn’t sure how this would go. If we get together again would you like to see it completely naked?”

“Yes.” The word hissed from his mouth. “I would. Very much.”

“Then let’s see how things go.”

It was very obvious that the vibrating dildo was doing its work. Every muscle in Ethan’s body was taut with sexual tension as the tremors drove him to a peak of sexual release. Dani sat down on the bench, bent her knees so she could place her feet on the surface and spread her legs wide.

“I’m going to masturbate, Ethan. My Masters would often do that while watching me achieve climax without being touched by them. That’s what we’re doing here, so please concentrate.”

When she touched herself she realized exactly how drenched she was. And how turned on. Just the brush of her fingers across her clit sent tremors through her body. She stroked her clit with two fingers while she watched Ethan closely. She had to time her own reactions to his. She didn’t want to finish too soon or too late. This was a carefully orchestrated dance, choreographed for maximum pleasure. But the signs were easy to read as his orgasm drew nearer and nearer. She rubbed faster and faster, her clit so sensitive now it was almost painful to touch.

“Do not come until I give you permission,” she warned.

“Yes, Mistress.” His jaw was clenched and sweat covered his body. Every muscle strained with his effort at control.

Faster, faster, faster her finger moved over that hot little button, her eyes locked on his, heat sizzling between them. Almost there, almost there. Ethan’s desperate need, etched on his face, fed the fire in her own body.

Now! Yes, yes, yes. Dani pinched her clit to push herself over the edge.

“Now, Ethan.” She could barely get the words out. “I command you to come now.”

His fingers curled into tight fists over his head. As his body jerked and semen spurted from his pulsing shaft, Dani thrust three fingers into her convulsing vagina. She bit down on her bottom lip as she rode her fingers, fascinated by the thick fluid spilling from Ethan’s swollen penis. She wanted to close her eyes to give herself over to the pleasure, but she couldn’t tear her eyes away from his body.

The orgasm shook her like a tree in a strong wind. She dug her heels into the bench to stabilize herself, driving her fingers in and out of her sopping pussy as fast and as hard as she could, her eyes never leaving Ethan’s body. At last his cock softened, no longer stiffly erect, beads of semen still clinging to the head. He hung from the wrist shackles, spent, tremors still skating over his body.

Dani rose from the bench on slightly unsteady legs, took his shaft in her hand and bent her head to lick the last of the fluid from his penis. She rode her lips down the length of it and back just once, pulling back and licking her lips. Reaching up, she pressed her fingers to Ethan’s mouth.

“Lick them,” she commanded, watching avidly as he cleaned every bit of her juices from them.

When he was finished she pressed her mouth to his and pushed her tongue against his lips, forcing him to open so she could thrust her tongue inside. Their flavors mingled together in an erotic cocktail as she stroked her tongue over his. Then she drew back, walked around him and turned off the dildo, slowly withdrawing it. She placed it and the whip on the little table at the side. Someone would come to clean and sterilize them after she left.

“I take it from your reaction that this gave you much pleasure.”

“Mistress has a most beautiful cunt,” he told her. “Exquisite, if I may be so bold. I would enjoy watching you come any time.” He paused and his mouth almost curved in a smile. “More than anyone else.”

She bit lightly at his shoulder, then soothed the spot with her tongue. “Excellent.” Then she walked to the intercom and pressed the speaker button.

“May I help you?” asked a disembodied voice.

“Yes. I would like to release my sub now, please.”

“Very good.”

It seemed that only seconds passed before the door opened and an attendant came in. This time it was a male, dressed only in leather pants. Using a key on a chain around his neck, he unlocked Ethan from the manacles and helped ease down his arms. He reached into the cupboard and handed a small jar to Dani.

“This will ease his muscles,” he told her. “They’ve been stretched for a long time. It is a rule of the club to see to the comfort of the subs.”

“Of course.”

She made Ethan sit down on the bench she’d just used, uncapping the jar and scooping out some of the cream inside. Rubbing it slowly into the muscles of his arms, she studied his face. What was there? Satisfaction? Pleasure? Enjoyment? Yes, all that. And something more. Something she’d seen before. But what was it?

He lifted his head and looked directly into her eyes. “It was definitely the best.”

She smiled. “Are you sure? I don’t want you to say that just to soothe my feelings.”

Heat blazed in his irises. “I don’t lie.” When he shifted on the bench and made a slight grimace she frowned. “Is your ass too sore?”

“I’m fine,” he assured her.

“You just said you don’t lie. I’ll take care of it.”

She remembered how Alan used to tend to her when they did this. If they had cream for muscle aches here she was sure they had the other things she needed. She massaged his arms and legs, making sure to work the cream into them thoroughly, swallowing a smile of satisfaction when she felt the muscles relax.

“Okay.” She stood up and screwed the cap back on the jar, setting it on the table with the other things. In the cabinet she easily found what she was looking for. “Ethan, I want you to get down on the floor on your knees. Rest your forearms on the floor with your hands touching your elbows.”

“Dani.”

It was the first time since they entered the room that he used her name.

“Don’t argue with me. A good sub does as he’s told,” she reminded him.

Reluctantly he did as she ordered. She knew from her own experiences how sore his rectum would be and she intended to fix that before she left. Spreading the cheeks of his ass, she dribbled a little of the soothing oil from the bottle in her hand. Working her finger inside him, she made sure to spread it around, soothing the tissues abused by the dildo. It took her five minutes before she was satisfied he’d be completely comfortable when he left. It also amused her to notice that her probing had caused his cock to stiffen and rise to an erect position again.

Her last act was to take the special ointment from the cupboard and rub it carefully across the lash marks on his buttocks. Then she stood up.

“You may rise now, Ethan.”

He looked down on her from his full height. Even though he was so much taller than she was, she didn’t feel threatened by him. Or intimidated. She had so many things she wanted to do to him. With him. Was it appropriate for her to approach the subject of another meeting? Did it have to be here or could she invite him to her place?

Wait. Maybe that wasn’t such a good idea. What did she know about him, really, except that Unfettered, a club she’d never heard of before tonight, had vouched for him? She had her own safety to consider. She stepped back into her thong, mulling everything over in her mind. When she looked up, Ethan was dressed again and standing near the door, his posture relaxed but fire raging in his eyes.

“You’ll make a very good Mistress, Dani.” He smiled. “In fact, probably an excellent one.”

Heat crept up her cheeks. “Thank you. I…enjoyed it.” She nibbled on her lower lip. “I don’t know if… I mean…”

He chuckled and moved close to her, putting his hands on her shoulder. “If you would like to schedule another time with me, you have to clear it with the club.”

“Yes. All right.”

She had to wrench herself away from him or she would have stood there forever. A pitcher of ice water and crystal glasses had been left for them. Dani knew it was important to care for a sub after a session as much as while it was happening. She filled a glass for each of them and handed one to Ethan, then motioned for him to join her on the settee against one wall. Her very first session in a club her Dom had insisted she take time to pull herself together, to let the endorphins abate to a normal level and the arousal racing through her slow down. She was determined to carry that over into her new role.

They drank in silence, each eyeing the other. Finally Ethan set his glass down and leaned forward.

“Permission to touch my Mistress?” he asked.

She nodded.

He put a finger beneath her chin and tipped it up. “Do you want to have another session with me, Dani?”

She nodded mutely, mesmerized by his strong face, then pulled herself together. After all, she was in charge here. “Yes, I would. You are a very good sub, Ethan. I’ll discuss it with G.”

“Good. Because I’d enjoy it too.”

She rose and went to the intercom button, announcing that they were vacating the room. Ethan opened the door to let her precede him into the corridor. An attendant was just approaching them.

“Mistress G is waiting for you,” she told Dani. “Ethan, she asked me to tell you it’s all right if you want to leave.”

“Thanks. I’ll see.”

The attendant led her to a small, private lounge where G and two other women were relaxing with drinks. G stood as Dani came in and led her to two chairs in a corner.

“I watched you on the camera,” she said. “You did very well tonight. And took excellent care of your sub. You’re going to make a good Mistress, Dani.”

“Thank you.” She smiled. “I’m enjoying my new role.”

G returned the smile. “It was obvious. Would you like to schedule another session with Ethan?”

Dani couldn’t hide her smile. “Yes, I would. Very much. He indicated that would be good with him too. Unless there’s some rule about having a session with the same sub twice.”

“Not at all.” G studied her face. “I should tell you that Ethan has never stayed long with one Mistress. He holds something of himself back from them, and after a few sessions they tire of it. Most of the Masters and Mistresses who come here are looking for something long-term. Not necessarily permanent, but more than a few visits.”

Dani nodded. “I can understand that. All of my relationships up until now have been long-term. It helps to…learn and understand each other.”

“I agree.” G paused as if choosing her words. “I have known Ethan for a very long time. I was his first Mistress. I would love to see him find someone whom he can really connect with.” She touched Dani’s cheek. “Perhaps that will be you. Maybe not, but then, who knows?” She sighed. “All right. Simply call the number you have and someone will set it up for you. You’re right to meet him here again. We encourage our patrons not to invite their partner into their home environment until they are sure that trust has been established both ways. In all areas.”

“Of course. I understand.”

“Good.” She kissed Dani on the cheek. “I’m very proud to have been your supervisor. Good luck. Ethan is one of the best.”

Hayden was still in his place at the front of the club. He smiled at her and reached to open the door. “I hope you enjoyed yourself. Please come back to Unfettered.”

“I did and I will. Thank you.” When she stepped outside she was surprised to find Ethan waiting for her.

“Did I forget to do something?” she asked.

“No.” He had a dimple at one corner of his mouth that winked when he grinned. “I just thought I would see you to your car.” He put his hand against her back, guiding her. “Which way?”

“The SUV in the first row.”

They walked along in comfortable silence until they reached her vehicle. She unlocked the door, then turned to face him.

“I’m going to call the number to set up another meeting,” she told him. “I’m requesting you again.” She almost asked him if that was all right, but that wouldn’t have been appropriate.

“I was hoping you would. I’ll be waiting.” He paused. “Mistress, I’d like to kiss you good night if you will permit me.”

“Yes. Please.” She lifted her face, expecting a gentle brushing of lips.

No way in the world was she prepared for the scorching kiss he delivered. It was hot and open-mouthed, his tongue probing deeply, sweeping across hers. His hands cupped her head, tilting it to give him a better angle. If she had staked a claim on him tonight, he was doing the same to her. She was breathless when he finally lifted his lips from hers.

“Good night, Dani. I’ll be waiting for our next meeting.”

He waited until she climbed into her car and buckled her seat belt, putting her key in the ignition with trembling hands. He brushed a soft kiss against her cheek, then closed her door. She drove away with him standing there, watching her.
