still a lot to
be explored and studied, and I know it's a lot to ask, but I hope
you'll trust me...”
I take a shuddering breath. “You won't hurt me,
will you, Julian?”
“ Sophia...I won't.” He sounds pained. “I
won't ever hurt you. How could I? When all I want to do is love you
and make love to you...”
I close my eyes and rest my head on his shoulder. Can I
learn to trust again? Yet by signing the contract and putting myself
in his hands, in his house, I have implicitly given him my trust.
But I am afraid. I am afraid that I might begin to feel something
more, something more than just desire for Julian. Am I ready to open
my heart to him? By opening up to me tonight, he has given me a
piece of his heart to hold, a precious, beautiful thing.
We wrap our arms very tenderly, tentatively and
protectively around each other, knowing that we are each holding
something so precious and fragile in our arms. I have not allowed
myself to come this close to anyone in a long time. Neither has
Julian, I suspect.
The night quietly slips away and dawn breaks over
Julian's huge mansion. This is where I will stay for the next three
weeks, in this house with this man and his sex machine. I am not
sure what to expect, of this man, of myself.
I can feel myself starting to shiver, but not from cold.
Quickly I pull away and smile up at him to break the tension. “I
wonder what else your machine can do, Dr. James,” I say,
flashing a mischievous but shaky grin. “I wonder how much more
I can take.”
To my surprise, Julian gives me a big hug. “We'll
see. I guess you will find that out very soon.”
I bury my face in his shoulder to hide my blush. If
this first exploratory orgasm is anything to go by, I think that the
pleasure is going to be even deeper and more intense and mind-blowing
than anything I have ever experienced. And that—can only be a
good thing.
