in his mind.  More prominent still was the memory of shock the warm water against his torn skin had left.
    “T here are hot spots like this all over, beneath Surnat, if you know where to look for them,” Robin continued.  “The underground rivers carved out a network of caverns and, in the places where water still flows, you end up with heated springs like these.”
    She stood directly behind him as she spoke.  Her body pressed close to his as she slid the sponge from his shoulders to his upper arms, bringing warm water up where the air was already beginning to cool his skin.  Her breasts brushed across his back and her hips even lower.  Nathan pushed harder against the wall and drew in a sharp breath as she disturbed his fragile balance with his pain.
    She must have felt him tense for she pushed her body even closer to his .  He could feel the soft mounds of her breasts as they pressed into his back.  It was too much for him to hold in, as her pelvis grinded against his ass, and he let out a moan.
    Robin pulled back from him and he breathed out his disappointment.  He hadn’t meant to, but even he could hear the longing in his groan.  No doubt she did too.
    “Have you always got off on pain like this?” Robin asked.  Her voice was suspended in darkness and water, for without her touch he stood alone in the pool.
    “No, never... I mean, no one has ever hurt me like you have Mistress.  I didn’t know,” Nathan replied.  It was easier to talk to nothing.  The blindfold had its benefits.  He had no one to be embarrassed before.
    “That’s sweet, in a way.”  Robin’s body touched his again and she slid across him, aro und his side and up between the space in his spread arms.  “I like knowing I’ve ruined other women for you,” she whispered.  Her skin glided across his so easily in the water.  Nathan never would have imagined she was so smooth.
    She ran the sponge across his neck and up under his chin. Her stomach press against his erection and she leaned up into him, sliding up as she stood on her toes.  The movement of flesh and water across his cock made his legs tingle.
    Robin ground her body against his as her arms wrapped around his middle.  His cock pushed awkwardly between them and she slid around until it sat flat against her stomach. Short movements of her body, the up and down on her toes only, stroked him just enough to tease.  Nathan groaned in frustration and that only encouraged her.
    She dragged the sponge down the very center of his back until it submerged and dove off the curve of his ass. The coarse swath of cloth rubbing over his welts blossomed into agony.  Nathan arched his back outward and leaned his head forward, until it was beside hers. Behind the waves of pain he caught a whiff of her hair.  He trapped that scent in his mind and clenched his eyes shut, sucking in a breath through his teeth.  When he exhaled again it was with a frustrated moan.
    His face was flush with warmth as Robin leaned up and pressed her cheek to his.  Nathan could feel the rapidity of her pulse against his skin, but it was all lost to blindfold.  It was as though the darkness itself pulsed around him.  He pushed his hands harder against the wall to make sure this was all still real before lowering his head into the hollow of her neck.  His lips pressed into her shoulder.  He wanted to kiss her there and all over, he wanted to please her, but he knew better.
    Robin balled the sponge in her hand and pressed her fist into the back of his thigh, slowly.  Nathan trembled as he channeled that pain through his body and out in a long, hot breath against her skin.  A powerful shudder rippled down him and his lower body arched into hers.
    Behind the blindfold Nathan had no way to know how carefully Robin was studying him.  He felt her hands leave his back as she ducked beneath his arm again.  Then a splash as she left the water, but soon her hand was beneath his chin again.  Water dripped
