Brianna folded her arms and laid her head on them, but she turned her face away from Rafe.

“I’m going to put a rolled-up towel over the back of your neck.”

“Why, Sir?” He hadn’t done that with Sierra.

“While there is no fire, I don’t want to catch your hair with a cup. I shouldn’t since I’m not doing it that high. Safety issue for me.”

“Okay, Sir.” She had a feeling Rafe was being extra careful with her. He placed the towel over her neck.

“Now, I’m going to rub oil on your back.”

She jumped a little when the oil hit her skin, but Rafe massaging the oil into her skin over and over made her relax into his touch. She closed her eyes and let her mind just drift.

“Here we go,” Rafe told her quietly.

The next sensation was something she couldn’t really describe. There was warmth and the sensation of her skin being pulled tight once and then a second time. She immediately became calmer, more relaxed.

The pull on her skin wasn’t unpleasant, just different. Then the suction was released. A rush of tranquility flowed over her as her skin settled. She laid there as Rafe poured more oil on her skin and rubbed it in. Then he covered her back with something.

“Are you okay?” he asked.

“Yes, Sir.” While the scene itself had been short, her body seemed fully satisfied.

“Just lay there while I clean up.”

Brianna didn’t have a problem with that. She wasn’t even sure she could stand. Sierra hadn’t said anything about that, only that she’d been energized by the fire cupping. Now that Brianna could think, there was a strange buzzing through her body. It wasn’t unpleasant, just unlike anything she’d experienced before.

“Brianna.” Rafe’s voice was soft. “Ready to get up?”

“You’re done, already?”

“Yes.”

Brianna lifted her head and straightened her arms, arching her back. Tingles spread out as the towel slipped down.

“I’ve got you.” Rafe helped her swivel and sit with her legs over the table. With his hands at her waist, he lifted her up and into his arms. In the aftercare area, he sat with her in his lap, a blanket wrapped around her upper body. He handed her an open water bottle to drink from. “How do you feel?”

“Great, Sir. I didn’t even hear you light the wand to do the fire part.” That wasn’t a bad thing either.

“You might feel some soreness tomorrow. The cupping can bring toxins out of your body. But you’ll be with me, so you have nothing to worry about.”

“I never do with you.” She gazed up at him. “I loved what you did, Rafe.”

His eyes grew wide.

“I know it’s probably not the right time to say it, but…” He placed his fingers over her lips.

“It’s the perfect time. I’m glad you wanted to try. We haven’t known each other that long, and I didn’t want to pressure you.”

“You never pressure me.” She realized that was true. “I’m so glad I met you, and you became my Dom.”

“Same for me.” He cradled her against his body. “Any pain?”

“Just some tingling, otherwise, no.”

“Good. Just rest, and we’ll go home in a bit and get a good night’s sleep.”

“Yes, Sir.” Brianna closed her eyes, content to be in his arms.
