“Thank you for that, my Petal.”

Only for you.She’d never been this wild and free with anyone else. “Thank you, Sir.”

Her words were sincere, and it shocked her how much she meant them.

“No matter the fantasy, you make the reality better.”

No other man had been this openly approving of her. His words emboldened her, made her want to be even more pleasing.

He released her from the ring in the wall. “Now I want you to make your way down the hallway.”

When she started to rise, he pushed her back down.

“You want me to crawl?”

“Of course.” A ridiculously proud smile sauntered across his mouth. “Did you expect anything different from me? Watching your hips sway, hoping for a glance at your pussy…”

Her temporary Dominant was all man.

Self-consciously, she lowered herself to all fours. Doubtfully, she looked down the long hallway.

He gave her right buttock a swift pinch.

Glaring, she glanced over her shoulder.

“Quit hesitating.”

His“or else”hung unspoken in the air between them.

He held the leash lightly, giving no real direction. Slowly, awkwardly, she crawled past the room where they’d watched the Dom and sub together.

So he didn’t intend to reenact that same scene.

“Keep going. Last door on the right.”

When she reached it, she started to stand, but he tugged on her leash. “I didn’t give permission for you to get up.”

He reached above her to open the door. “Now you may enter.”

The room was dominated by a wooden, X type of structure.

“It’s a St. Andrew’s cross,” he explained to her.

In the middle of the room, she knelt back, waiting for him to tell her what to do.

“Right choice, Sasha.” His voice was husky. “You’re a natural.” After crouching to unclip her leash, he continued, “Go to the cross, then stand and face it. Spread your arms and legs.”

The cross was tilted slightly, making her lean forward a little, meaning gravity would help hold her in place.

Within minutes, he had her wrists and ankles attached to the structure.

“We can’t forget to put this on you.”

He came to stand in front of her, holding the blindfold she’d haphazardly grabbed earlier. Now she wished she had picked something else.

After putting it in place, he adjusted the slide at the back so it was secure. Then he tipped her head back to double-check the fit, ensuring she couldn’t see anything.

“You’ve never looked more beautiful.”
