“Am I satisfied that we’ve talked? Yes, but I hope we can talk more. Not necessarily right now although I wouldn’t mind talking more now. I think we made a good start and I hope we can do it again. I want to learn everything about you that you are willing to share. I won’t pry about your past but I also won’t deny I’d like to know more.”

As Doe comes back and sits on the bed, I feel a small thrill in my chest. We have talked… and she didn’t run away this time. We have talked… and she told me a tiny bit about her background. And yes, we did talk and neither of us got angry. If I weren’t afraid of hurting her ribs, I’d grab her and hug her right now. I settle for resting my hand on her thigh and giving it a gentle squeeze.

“I know you ‘don’t like’ the fact that love isn’t logical. I’m not sure I like that part either. I just know it isn’t. It isn’t logical that I don’t want you to flirt with anyone but me. Logically, I know that flirting is harmless and most women flirt without even realizing it. But if you flirt with another man, I want to beat you for doing it. If another man flirts with you… well… lets just say that his life insurance better be paid up.”

“I know that right now, I’d like to hug you, but logically it might hurt your ribs. I’m a fairly logical person so I won’t hug you… but I wish I could. I’ll settle for cuddling you if you’re interested.”

“Or I wouldn’t mind seconds on dessert…!”

[kimbra_ailis]

Dominique considered telling him her ribs were not hurt that badly. After all she was not a fragile doll. A little hug would not hurt her. But at the moment she was not sure if she wanted to be touched. She had moved closer to him but she still was not completely happy. Her was mind still a whirlwind of thoughts.

“I am sorry but I am not interested in seconds…”

After a minute she shrugged out of the shirt, putting it on the floor again. Dominique managed to lay down and stretch out. She completely forgot about the knife. So use to sleeping well armed she really did not even feel the strap around her thigh. Dominique managed not to stiffen when she felt his body pressed against her back. The heat felt good against her now cool skin. She actually found herself enjoying the feeling of his body, becoming use to sleeping with someone. 

Only hours passed before her eyes opened. Laying still in the darkness her mind woke her. As she knew it would. When her mind was in turmoil she rarely slept through the night. Extremely carefully she slid out of bed. Trying not to wake him. Picking up the fallen shirt, she tip toed out of the room. Once in the hallway she hurried down the stairs. Pulling the shirt closed over her chest, she moved to the back door.

Dominique left the back door cracked as she wondered out into the back yard. The sky was just beginning to lighten in the distance. It was too damn early. She hated this hour. She hated when her mind turned like this. Even though it was fairly nice weather her body was starting to cool. Still lost in thought when she heard movement behind her, hand going to her blade, she turned her head to look.

[Sprayman]

I’m slightly disappointed when Doe says she isn’t interested in seconds… but only slightly. I’m actually sated and didn’t need another round, so when she stretches out on the bed, I’m just as happy to cuddle. I love just being close to her but I sense she’s conflicted in some way. I think that talking about love and the possibility of marriage has disturbed her. I wish it didn’t but I’m pretty sure it did. I feel her body relax and her breathing slows as she drops off to sleep. I pull the covers over both of us and follow her into oblivion.

Sometime later, I wake and realize she’s gone. The spot where her body lay is still warm, so she hasn’t been gone very long. Without moving, I listen, trying to hear movement or her breathing but the house is quiet. Getting out of bed, I check the bathroom, but the night light shows it’s empty. I was pretty sure before I looked because of the lack of sounds. The shirt she dropped on the floor is missing but her gun is still under the pillow, so I know she must be somewhere close. My watch says it’s almost dawn.

I pull on a set of sweats and slip quietly downstairs barefoot. Doe is no where in the house and I start to get worried. I retrieve my Glock from the pistol safe attached to my main safe and then move on into the kitchen. That’s when I see the back door isn’t closed. Moving out onto the porch, I see Doe in the yard. Nothing seems wrong and it’s quiet and peaceful, but damp and a little chilly.

I don’t want to startle her, so I sit on the porch glider… which squeaks as I sit. I see her turn toward the sound.

“It’s just me. Aren’t you kind of chilly wandering around out here in the yard half dressed…?”

[kimbra_ailis]

“No” Turning her head back to the front. It was all she said for a while.

“When I was younger, I lived in a four story apartment building. Some nights I would slip out of the apartment and go up to the roof. The door was never locked. He did not care if I left. Hell he never cared if I came back. I did not think you would appreciate me on your roof.” Dominique shifted her head slightly as if thinking. “The sky is beautiful and the city was so peaceful at this hour. Just before all the traffic would start to commute.”

Dominique stood up, she moved to sit in the glider with him. Sliding beneath his arm. She rested her head against him. Her body was extremely relaxed against him. Almost considering going back to sleep.

“I don’t sleep well when I have things on my mind. At least not at night. Another hour the sun will be up and everything will be okay again.” Her voice was kind of fair away, almost dreamy as if remembering something pleasant.

[Sprayman]

Dominique is in a strange pensive mood but doesn’t seem upset or angry. She cuddles close on the glider and rests her head on my shoulder.

“You better pass on my roof, there’s no way to get up there without a ladder. Actually, you need two ladders. One from the ground up to the porch roof, and one from the porch roof up to the second floor roof. I don’t think it would be worth the effort.”

“I’m sorry you didn’t sleep well. If you want to go back to sleep, Ken won’t be here until about 1 or 1:30. I got enough sleep and plan to stay up but you don’t have to. After I have breakfast, I plan to straighten up the basement a little. It’s sort of messy down there. Come to think of it, I can make us brunch about noon; it will be lunch for me and breakfast for you.” 

“After Ken leaves, we can clean up and go out to supper this evening. I don’t have anything planned for the weekend, so if you want to do anything special, let me know. We may want to go food shopping, since I’m going to be gone most of next week. I’ll need to go to bed early Monday night since I’ll have to be up about 4:30 Tuesday morning to catch the train to New York.”

“I need to give you the combination to the safe too, since your money is in there…!”

[kimbra_ailis]

For a while Dominique simply rocked in the chair with him. She needed the calmness. Not that there was anything wrong with the house or bedroom but she did not find peace there. Wall closing in around her. Finally taking a deep breath, she sat forward. Then stood up.
“I am ready…”

Dominique did not realize how cold she was until they were inside. At first she sat down at the kitchen table. Thinking she might stay up during the day. As he started to fix breakfast, she nearly fell asleep on the table. Debating whether to fight it or accept it, she finally stood up again.

Walking over to him, she forced herself into his arms. Biting his chest lightly. Kissing him on the corner of his mouth she stepped away. “I am going back to bed now…. ”

[Sprayman]

Sitting with Doe on the glider is nice and I can sense that she is happy with it too. No need to discuss anything of importance. No need for anything except being close… After a while, she stands and says she’s ready, and we go into the kitchen. She sits at the table, while I start coffee and then my breakfast. I don’t ask Doe what she wants. By now, I know breakfast isn’t a meal she likes.

I see her nodding as I cook, then she’s between me and the stove, nibbling at my chest and kissing the corner of my mouth. Not a real kiss… but nice all the same. She steps away as she says, “I am going back to bed now…. ” Of course, she waited until I was busy… so I can’t follow her.

“Sleep well… I’ll wake you up for brunch.”

Then I’m alone in the kitchen. I eat, have two cups of coffee, clean up the kitchen, and then I’m ready to tackle the basement.

By 10 AM, I’ve done all I can do for now in the basement, and I’m pretty dirty. Smears of dust on my sweats… and on me too. I’d forgotten how much dust seems to settle in the basement and I will have to run the shop vacuum to get it up. That’s too noisy for now with Doe asleep upstairs. Besides, Ken isn’t coming to criticize my housekeeping. All he needs to do is look around… then we can talk in the kitchen.

The basement in this old house is big, the same size as the first floor, and is separated into two rooms by a half wall running the width of the house. I’ll use one side for storage and the other half for my dungeon playroom. It’s fully underground and doesn’t have any windows or an outside door of any kind. I think it will make a great dungeon. Now we’ll see what Ken thinks!

Back up in the kitchen, I sit at the table and drink the last cup of coffee while I daydream about what I’m going to build down in the cellar. My mind drifts into fantasy as I picture Doe hanging from the ceiling beams naked as I slowly whip her with the flogger. Damn that’s a pretty picture! Glancing at the clock… quarter to eleven… time to shower and change. I shower in the hall bathroom and quietly dress while I look at Doe sleeping in my bed. She’s too beautiful for words.

Finished dressing, I walk to the side of the bed, bend down and kiss her softly on the cheek.

Now I can wake up my slave…! I gently shake her shoulder until her eyes finally open.

"Time to get up Dominique, Ken will be here in a couple of hours. Are you ready to eat something now...?"

[kimbra_ailis]

Dominique was asleep almost before she hit the pillow. Her dreams silent as if the outside sun kept her safe. Sleeping uninterrupted until she felt something touch her. Eyes blinking open, slightly disoriented. It was a good sign that she did not wake with a start. For a long moment all she did was stare up at him. Dominique had a feeling that he might have been there for a while.

Drawing a deep breath into her lungs, Dominique started to stretch. Her arms moving over her head. The movement caused the blanket to slide down and the shirt to open. Dominique barely seemed to notice. Her hips twisting slightly to the left.

“Next time you should warn me when I am being stupid and your about to seriously whip my ass…” There was a pleasant smile on her lips. They both knew that he had warned her. And it had not mattered to her. It probably would not matter to her in the future.

“I suppose I need to get up… I am going to run to the store later tonight….”

[Sprayman]

Dominique wakes gently and without reaching for a weapon. I’m never quite sure what reaction I’ll get from her but this is promising. Watching her stretch is also very nice as the blanket slides down and the shirt front opens, revealing her breasts.

Her comment about warning her when I’m going whip her is said with a smile, so I don’t bother telling her that I did warn her. Mentioning that she plans to go to the store later sounds almost domestic and I can’t help smiling as well. I can almost believe that she is happy… or at least content with being here like this… being here with me.

Keeping the smile on my face, I pointedly stare at her breasts as I say, “I was watching you sleep while I got dressed and thinking how beautiful you looked. I have to admit though, the view is even better now!”

“Yes, it’s time to get up. Ken will be here in a couple of hours and you’ll need to get dressed. I thought you might want something to eat before he got here too. I’ve done about as much as possible in the basement, at least for now, and I’ve showered already. What are you planning to shop for later, and do you want me to come with you?”

[kimbra_ailis]

Dominique did not move to cover herself, even at his comment. Snorting softly she shook her head slightly like she did not understand what he found interesting. For a moment she considered if she wanted him to come with her. Finally she shrugged.  It did not matter to her one way or another.

Sitting up, she let the shirt fall off of her shoulders. Swinging her legs over the side of the bed, she was only vaguely aware of him watching her. Dominique was a little surprised to notice her knife still in place. She only vaguely remembered putting it on the night before. That was not good.

Since she had showered before bed time last night, she simply dressed instead of showering. Pulling on a comfortable pair of jeans. Finding a dark red shirt, she had a little more trouble finding her bra. Grabbing a pair of socks she followed him downstairs. At the kitchen table she sat and pulled the socks on. It was getting late but she still needed a few minutes before trying to eat.

[Sprayman]

“You seem to be moving better today. I guess the new bandage and the wrist support are helping. I let you dress yourself this morning so I could get an idea of how you’ve healed. I imagine you will still have some twinges, but it looks like you are almost back to normal. Over the weekend, I’ll let you do for yourself if you promise to ask for help when you need it.”

“We have about an hour and a half before Ken gets here. Let me know when you’re ready to eat. I’m going to make something for my lunch in about thirty minutes.”

Dominique is moving much more easily today and that makes me feel better about my trip to New York next week. I was seriously worried about having to leave her alone injured like she was. I know she’s a grown woman, but I was responsible for her injuries and as my slave, I’m responsible for her wellbeing. It looks like all I’ll have to worry about now is missing the woman I love.

I told Doe the truth last night. Being in love is new ground for me too. I can’t get over how strong this feeling is. I’ve been attracted to other women in the past and there were a couple that I thought I might be in love with but I know now that it was just lust combined with possessiveness. I certainly never considered marrying any of them or even living with them for more than a long weekend of sex. Even though Dominique has a past… bad enough that she has trouble talking about it… I still want her as my wife.

And then there is the fact that I want her as my slave too. I want… no… I need her to submit to me. Last night was a start… but only just a start. We have much further to go and I might as well start on the journey now.

“After I finished in the basement, before I came upstairs to shower, I was sitting here daydreaming about you… actually… about us. I pictured you down in the basement, tied and hanging from the rafters naked. I was whipping you with the flogger, all over your body. Not very hard, but everywhere! Your ass… and tits… and finally your pussy. I think I’m going to make that dream come true when I get back from New York.”

“How does that sound to you… slave…?”

[kimbra_ailis]

It was still strange to hear him call her slave. Her mind wanted to react against being called slave. Knowing he had not meant it as a insult but she still wanted to react like he had slapped her. On second thought she realized it was better than some names she had been called “whore”, “slut”, “cunt”. Yeah she could live with slave.

A part of her wanted to rebel against the idea. Watching him she even let a controlled amount of that rebellion show in her eyes. Rationally telling herself she did not want to be beaten. But as much as she wanted to tell herself that she did not want it. She knew she did. That’s why she had come back. That’s why she was still mending. She had pushed him into abusing her. If he did not consent to doing so, she would manipulate into it. At that thought Dominique’s smile widened.

“It sounds interesting, I might get use to the idea.”

[Sprayman]

“Good, I’m glad to hear that. Otherwise, our relationship might get even rockier than it has been in the past. If that’s even possible!”

I can’t help chuckling about my almost involuntary remark. It’s hard to believe that I met this woman… my lover… my slave… one evening when she broke into my house… to kill me. After that, I disarmed and raped her… not play… forcible rape. How could a relationship start worse… or get rockier?

Now we sit here talking about me whipping her naked body. I’m going to have to change the subject… or rape her again… here and now. Except it wouldn’t be rape now… Damn… get off this subject! I have to talk about something else.

“Are you ready to try eating something now, or do you want to wait some more? We still have more than an hour before Ken gets here, but I want to have lunch done and cleaned up before he shows up.”

I wonder if she knows what that smile does to me. No matter what I want… or how bad I want it… there just isn’t enough time to rape Doe now…!

[kimbra_ailis]

“And cleaned up?” Her tone was caught somewhere between flirting and mocking. He had that look on his face. A slight roll of her shoulder. She looked at him as innocent as she could but she knew she was teasing him, or maybe baiting him. “I guess that does not leave enough time for much else…”

As quick as she baited she seemed otherwise distracted. Looking away from him, she carefully worked her wrist. Certain angels it was still tender but it was so much better. She was still questioning why it had been so important to bait him into nearly breaking a bone. Suicidal tendencies? It was likely enough.

“I think I can eat, what are you planning on cooking?”

[Sprayman]

Dominique is baiting me, no matter if she means too, or not! She can turn me on just by being in the same room and if she actually tries… I’m lost! I do love her… I really do… but I have to admit that the raw sexual attraction is a big part of the love. I’ve never known another woman that could just look at me, never say a word, and make me want to rip her clothes off and fuck us both into a stupor! Doe does it to me ten or twelve time a day.

“Well, if it was just me eating, I was going to make a sandwich, but since you are willing to eat, I’ll give you a choice. You’re only my slave in matters of sex… not food. I can make omelets and toast, or heat some soup to go with sandwiches… or we can do a drive through as long as its close and you’re willing to start eating in the car.”

I don’t make the suggestion I’d like to make… that I have something for her to eat that’s ready right now. Only trouble is… it’s not that filling… or nutritious…! Jesus Christ man… get hold of yourself. She has to know what I’m thinking and feeling right now.

She must… because she’s causing it… on purpose!
