said. “Now take off your skirt and anything you are wearing underneath.”
“ Just like that” she asked.
Tyler didn’t respond. He just looked at her.
“ I mean yes, Master,” she said, reaching behind her back to pull the string that would release the skirt.
“ That one is free,” he said. “But the next time you question my judgment, I will punish you.”
Krista’s breath caught in her throat and she wondered exactly what that meant.
“ Punish me how, Master,” she asked as she shimmied the skirt down her thighs, leaving it to fall in a heap at her feet. She stepped out of it and picked it up, laying it on one of the shelves so it wouldn’t wrinkle. Tyler grabbed her arm and pulled her roughly against his chest. His voice took on a low, ominous tone as he spoke softly, slowly, dragging out each sentence.
“ There are all sorts of punishments for naughty girls,” he said. “Maybe I will turn you over my knee and whip you with a paddle. Maybe I’ll push you to your knees and make you suck my cock while I spank you with a flogger. If you are really naughty, I may tie you up, work your body until just before you come and then stop, over and over and over until you can’t even think anymore.”
Krista shivered, not knowing if it was from fear or excitement. She’d felt the heat between her legs rising with each word he’d said. She was having a hard time deciding to be good when the punishments all sounded so interesting. “What if I say no, Master?” she asked out of curiosity, looking up into his eyes.
“ That word doesn’t exist for you within these walls. You can say it. But it won’t do you any good. I’m in charge here and I say what happens. That’s what it really means to give up the control you spoke of. It means you’re entirely in my hands and you have no will, no choice. You do what I say, when I say it, and trust in me to bring you the pleasure you seek.”
“ Unless I say my safe word?” she asked.
“ Then everything stops and you return to the safety and tedium that drove you to escape into my world,” Tyler said.
Krista took a deep breath and pushed away her fear as she exhaled. It was hard to admit, but she wanted this, maybe even needed it.
“ I understand,” she said.
“ Lesson number two,” Tyler said. “Every time you address me, in any way, you will call me Master or Sir. There is a reason why I am Master here and it isn’t because I get off on the idea of dominating women. It’s because I’m strong enough to push you past your comfort zone, to teach your body about the exquisite mixture of pleasure and pain, to force you to accept the things about yourself from which you would hide, and to unleash your base desires, the scary ones that call to you from your subconscious.”
As Tyler talked, he scraped his nails down her naked back, still holding her tightly against him. Krista felt herself getting wetter, moisture collecting on her panties.
“ Yes, Master,” she breathed. She ran a hand down his chest, wishing he was as naked as she was, wanting to feel his bare chest beneath her fingers. With great effort, she pulled away from him and pushed her panties down her thighs, exposing herself to his heavy gaze. She could feel his eyes on her as she pushed them to the floor and a feeling of vulnerability engulfed her.
For a long moment, Tyler just looked at her. She was stunning. Long, light brown hair brushed her back. High, rounded breasts with pink upturned nipples and curvy hips filled his eyes. Her body was perfect, but it was nothing compared to her face. She had light, grayish blue eyes that tilted up at the corners and a cute little nose. He knew she had a full, bow-shaped mouth, but she had sucked her bottom lip into her mouth and was biting down on it. She looked up at him, waiting, hands clenched tightly with what he could only assume was apprehension.
“ Don’t move,” he said.
“ Yes, Master,” she said.
