The Dom's Diary:
Caribbean Water
by
Abyrne Mostyn
Without
further comment she turned and walked away.
I presumed I was to follow though she hadn’t said. Catching up to her as she began descending a
wide staircase, I increased my strides to end up beside instead of behind
her. The view from behind was not
something I minded, I just wanted to speak to her.
“You
are quite adept with a single tail.”
She
didn’t stop, turn to face me, or change her expression at all as she responded. I was intrigued and impressed by her control.
“You
will find should you join us here, that I am adept with many implements Mr.
DuFoe.”
“Thorne.”
“Yes,
right. Thorne.”
“I
have not seen a Domme of your skill in a very long time. It was an honor to watch.”
She
stopped at this. Finally, I had her
attention.
“I
prefer Pallaca if you don’t mind.”
I
try the foreign word on my tongue. The
snake-ish hiss of the ‘c’ had not come out correctly. She waited for me to try again. Her face was well schooled, but her pleasure
flashed through her eyes when I got it right.
She would be easier to read facing me.
“That’s
better.” Nodding. “Tell me Thorne, what are you?”
My
head canted, I pretended to think about the answer and what she might hope for
as a response, but her no-nonsense expression couched my inclination to banter.
“I
would say that I am a Gentleman, Pallaca.
Does this answer the question you ask?
Or were you perhaps enquiring more specifically as to the pleasures I
pursue?”
For
the first time since I had seen her upstairs, she smiled.
“A
question with a question Mr. DuFoe…”
“Thorne”
“Thorne. …it is an interesting tact, but I am not
playing games at the moment. I would not
begin a game with you without you being very aware of its inception and eventually,
its conclusion.”
We
had been walking again. I cannot say
where we were in the house, but I knew the room we had entered was facing east
as the dusk had gained shadow across the lawns and the dim lamp in the corner
of the room offered the only light left there.
She continued walking, where I had stopped to take in the expansive room
where we stood. It was a solarium of
some sort. Walls of glass windows on two
sides revealed a spectacular view, if only in evening shadow. As she approached the windows opposite the
arched doorway, I could see her in reflection on the glass. She was watching me, watching her.
The
stellar green of her eyes mutated in the reflection to the deep sea-green,
azure of Caribbean water. It was like
looking down into the depths of a deceptive pool from atop the cliffs, knowing
that there was eternity there. She did
not blink. Whatever she was waiting for
or watching for, she waited and didn’t look away. Her wry smile bloomed when I noticed the
cross just off center in the room. It
was beyond where she stood, but in the reflected image that stared back at me,
they were connected. The illusion was
mesmerizing, and then it was broken as she turned back to me.
I
was speechless for a few moments and took the time to cross the distance to the
centerpiece of the room. It was
perfectly placed as the focal point, though I had missed it for her arresting
eyes. Thinking of my own cross, not as
well placed in a room not as well appointed to showcase it, I was rearranging
furniture in my mind for a moment while I gathered my thoughts. Coming back to where I stood, I found I had
unconsciously raised my hand to stroke the wood and the unfamiliar changes
brought me back.
As I looked the
piece over, it had to be ebony. The deep
undertones showed in high contrast under a silken coat of gloss that made it
feel like glass. Where I had reversed
the bolt holds and had opened gussets in the frame to switch from heavy to soft
restraints, this piece had little pocket doors that switched out and stored in
the frame seamlessly. You couldn’t see
the attachment points until you flipped the pockets open. It was a brilliant change that affirmed again
my appreciation for the craftsman who made it.
The retracting neck bench was the same, as was the base support that
eliminated the tent arch from the back.
It was perfection. I was a little
jealous.
As I stood
manipulating the pocket doors and the refinements to my design, I was not
watching Cla’vis. I should have been.
“Is this also your
design?”
Before I could
process the question, from the back side was a soft ‘snick’ as the cross was
adjusted to my height and the ankle clamps latched down. My hands were free, but I wasn’t going
anywhere. My gasp must have been audible
as this was not part of my design, but I was thinking I needed to have mine
re-fitted.
“No. It is not.”
“No, it is not…what?”
It was my turn to
grin. I'd been snared into a web that I
hadn’t seen being made.
“No Pallaca. It is not part of my design.”
“Very good
Thorne. Would you like to feel the full
scope of this cross?”
She was temptation. There was no doubt. I wanted to see the full scope of the cross
to be certain, but with her on it, not me in it.
“I would like to
know the other modifications, if that is your question.”
She stood between
the crown ‘V’ of the cross, facing me from the other side smiling. Her eyes glinted with the things she wanted
to say but discarded as she phrased her reply.
“Did you notice
the mirror?”
“Mirror?”
“In the community
room above? Did you notice the mirror?”
“No. I did not see a mirror.”
“Is that perhaps
because you could not take your eyes off my ass?”
Busted.
I could have tried denial, but that wasn’t my style. Instead, I opted for returning the wide smile
she had snared me with.
“That is a good
possibility, yes.”
“Yes what?”
I knew I was grinning
wider still. Her lips didn’t return the
smile to me, but her eyes were shouting it.
She was enjoying this.
“Yes Pallaca.”
“As you are not a
member here, I am afraid that you can only look. Too bad for you, I have a great ass.”
I knew my grin faltered. I also knew that it pleased her to see that I
wanted, and she held the power, for now.
She was a strong one, there was no doubt. Taming her, would be immensely
satisfying. I knew without needing to
sleep on it, that I would become a member of ‘The Manse’. Cla’vis Tand had sealed the deal, as I
believe she was meant to do.
As she released
the clamps and returned the cross to its resting station, I was impressed all
over again by the additions made to the design I had requested. I wondered too how many other pieces I had,
had been made by and improved upon by Maxim. I was hopeful there were a few.
“Our time here is
done for now. Perhaps if you choose to
join us, we can continue this lesson on the cross you inspired.”
This time, I knew
she was baiting me and I was ready for it.
I couldn’t help myself as we walked the short distance to the foyer
where the small Asian man still stood, though this time joined by Jenner who
was waiting for me.
“Perhaps so
Pallaca…perhaps so. Next time, I would
like to see you on that cross instead, and my marks on your flesh.”
Winking. “Just to be sure it fits me and
my needs before I request Maxim to retrofit my own.”
She made a false
protesting derisive snort that told me volumes about her situation as a permanent
Domme. She would stand that cross and
she would bear the marking. She would
also enjoy it. Bending at the waist
slightly, I bowed to her blowing a mock kiss, before turning to join Jenner who
was already headed out the door. I
stopped for a moment, walked back to her and leaned in to whisper as I landed a
moderate tap on her ass.
“…and yes
Pallaca…I will enjoy it very much.

ReplyDeleteNicely done.
ReplyDeleteWhooop! FINALLY got past the firewalls and nasty "thou shalt not read this at work" barricades *flips IT off behind her hand* and am eager for the next chapter. And guess what?! I've got TWO more to read!!! *taps chin* I'm beginning to think there is something to your whole 'delayed gratification' workshop, oh mighty Yoda of the pen. Or is that whip? ;) Fantastic read - the battle of wills between Thorne and Cla'vis is just beginning and I can't wait to see where it goes!!!
