Perhaps she should take away the roleplaying and just balance the power in their relationship?
No, she didn’t want that either. She loved the bondage and handling the crop. She loved the power and the play. She would miss it terribly, and there were so many things she had yet to try.
The answer was in her submission to him. Could she trust him enough to allow him not only free access to her body, but also to engage in play where she may be bound? Gagged? Penetrated in different ways?
A shudder went through Eleanor. She was truly petrified.
“Stop it,” she said aloud. “He is dead, he cannot hurt you anymore.”
The words settled her and she slowed her pacing. Talking out loud seemed to help. Perhaps the words would be less scary outside of her head?
“Did I enjoy seeing him tied up?”
Eleanor nodded her head. The silk restraints would feel fantastic. Yes, she wouldn’t like to be restricted, but Gareth would never hurt her. Would he?
He gained so much pleasure from her whipping him. Would she like that?
“Probably not. Though, how would I know?”
Her breath hitched in her chest as the realization settled in.
“I am going to try. I will give him control, and if he loves me, he will not hurt me.”
And he’ll let me get out when I need to . A grin stretched her lips wide. It was time to call her Master.
*****
Gareth bounded up the steps to Eleanor’s front door, powering up the last few steps, determined to beat that infernal butler.
The door swung back and revealed his Mistress in the plainest day dress he had ever seen her in.
“Good morning, Eleanor.” He bowed out of courtesy and was shocked when she curtseyed so low her nose was barely off the ground.
“Are you alright?” he asked, rushing over to her.
Her smile said she was, but her eyes weren’t their normal green.
“I would like to go to the country house today, Gareth. If that is alright?”
Eyebrows climbed up his head.
“You are asking me?”
She smiled so serenely that he knew he was in trouble. Gliding down to the carriage, she climbed into it and sat waiting for him.
Shock immobilized his feet. What was going on?
“Gareth?” her soft voice wafted out of the carriage. Not a command – a request.
He ran down the steps and leaped into the carriage, slamming the door shut with a force that rattled the beautiful equipage.
“Have I done something wrong, Mistress?”
Reaching her hand out, she caressed his cheek reverently. Gareth leant into it. What had he done?
“I need to ask you for a favor, my beautiful Gareth.”
Swallowing the lump in his throat, he nodded. Anything for her.
“Be my Master today.”
Blood surged to his cock before his brain realized everything that sentence entailed. Was she actually asking him to do all the things to her that she had done to him? Adrenaline raced through his veins and the need to do something almost violent overtook him.
He grabbed Eleanor about the arms and pulled her towards him, devouring her in a long, hot kiss. Tongues tangled, lips got bitten. He wanted this – but why did she?
Fear made him pull back.
“Why? I thought you needed to have complete control, Eleanor? I have given that to you because you said it was what you needed.”
When she looked away, he rushed to reassure her.
“Not that I haven’t loved every moment with my Mistress. You have given me more pleasure than I knew was possible. But why now?”
Her breath rushed out and she looked back at him, the green in her eyes becoming more vivid. She was aroused.
“I know that you are very dominant naturally, and I want you to be able to express that part of yourself. I trust you not to hurt me.”
Her lip quivered and something inside Gareth just melted.
“You don’t have to do this, Eleanor. I am very satisfied with our relationship just the way it is.”
Her refusal was quick, her head shaking back and forth.
“No. I need to prove to myself that I can trust you and that I am not
