Bound Angel Bound Demon

by Claire Spoors

  Should she call him? Even just to say how long she was going to be away, or did she want to call him to hear his voice? Her stomach was in knots.

  Alex took the phone back off the charger and dialled home. It answered in one ring.

  “Alex, is that you?” he sounded desperate.

  “Yes, my dad told me you called.”

  “Oh Alex, It’s good to hear your voice, you sound good.”

  Gary didn’t, he sounded tired and low.

  “Gary, I still need time, I’m staying the rest of the week and will see how I feel by the end of the week,” she wanted to make the conversation short, she hated hearing him like this.

  “A week, Alex? We haven’t been apart a day since we got together. You’ve been gone for nearly 48 hours now, I really miss you, miss waking up next to you, I understand I’ve hurt you, but we need to talk this through face to face.”

  Alex interrupted him, “Don’t think about coming out here Gary. I need a break, I will call you when I’ve decided when I’m coming home, but you need to give me time.”

  “Ok I guess I understand. Take care Alex, I love you,” his voice sounded broken and he hung up.

  Alex fell back on the bed and began to cry, he sounded so down, but she needed to do this, just so one day they might move on.

  Chapter Twelve

  Alex woke up feeling better; she searched her suitcase and found some leggings and a pink flowery top. This will please Mom she thought.

  Her mom was ready and waiting to go.

  “What, no breakfast first?” said Alex.

  “No, we can get something in town, now come on let’s go, your dad is working in his shed, hiding more like, so he doesn’t have to come with us,” said her mom.

  “We can have me and you time, Dad will be ok,” Alex said and picked up her mom’s keys shaking them in her face. “Come on, let’s get this show on the road.” Her mom laughed and followed Alex out the door.

  They had a lovely day. Her mom took her to a cosy Spanish café for tortilla and café con leche. Then it was off around the shops, her mom spoilt her as always. Soon they were back home with lots of lovely new things.

  She dropped the bags in her bedroom and went to find her dad, he must still be in his hideaway. It was a lovely little log cabin hidden in the orange grove towards the bottom of the large garden. She heard country music playing as she got near. She stopped and looked through the window and saw her dad in his checked shirt and jeans playing the guitar and singing away. She quietly opened the door and went inside. Her dad finished playing the song. He was good.

  “You look happy, had a nice day then?” he said smiling.

  “Yes Dad, it was great.”

  “Well your mom always knew how to cheer you up.”

  “That song was great Dad, is it a new one?”

  “It’s just something I’m trying out, the guys are coming in a few days and we always like to try out new things. It keeps you alive trying different things.” Alex’s heart jumped. She knew just what he meant; she’d forgotten how much that night in the club had made her feel alive.

  “Yes Dad you’re right. It will be nice catching up with Uncle Joe and the gang, it’s been a while” said Alex.

  “You’re still going to be here then?” he looked at her expectantly.

  “Anyone would think you were trying to get rid of me.”

  “You know that’s not what I meant, have you called Gary?” he asked.

  “Yes Dad, last night I told him I was staying the rest of the week, and I will let him know when I am coming back.”

  “That’s good, put the lad’s mind at rest for a short time anyway. I just care about you both, that’s all, and the lad hasn’t got anyone but us now has he?”

  Alex knew he was right. Alex had no family of his own; she hadn’t thought about him not having anyone to speak to, he had always been a private person. Alex gave her dad a hug.

  “Oh and Mom said to hurry up and finish what you’re doing. You two are going out later and she wants you to be ready in time,” she laughed.

  “I forgot. You’ll be home alone, you can come if you want.”

  “No. I already told Mom I need to unpack, plus I’ve got all the new things to try on, I’m happy just to stay in tonight, thanks Dad.”

  That evening Alex waved her mom and dad off as they went out for the night and she returned to her room which had bags everywhere. She smiled to herself thinking this is going to be fun. She began to empty the bags: dresses, underwear, shoes and nightwear, plus a couple of bikinis, now she could use the pool. She hung everything up and put the other things away in the drawers. She even unpacked her suitcase. She saw her handbag sitting in the corner which she’d forgotten about it. She picked it up and emptied it onto the bed. Make-up and hair items tumbled out. She put them on the dressing table. Turning back round she saw the box from the other night and she opened it. The blindfold was still in there, and then she noticed the envelope. She put the contract, which she’d forgotten about, on the bedside table, along with the box. This requires a drink, she thought. She went to the kitchen and got herself a bottle of wine and a glass and returned to her bedroom. She plugged in her mobile phone to the charger and searched for her mp3 app and pressed play, her music playlist began to play in the background. She poured a drink and then opened the envelope. Alex took out the contract and sat back leaning up against the headboard. She picked up her glass of wine and began to read.

  The first section was mainly about disclosure of the club. She read on, it said that the club might film you during all activities and sometimes photos might be taken by the master. They would be kept in a file and used if the member tried to expose the club in any way. So they stop you talking by blackmailing you, lovely, she thought. I wonder if that night was recorded, she smiled at the thought of it, she couldn’t deny that she’d enjoyed it, and the thought that there was a video of it somewhere made her warm between the legs. She ran her hand down and placed it on her sex. She felt damp. She tried to stop thinking about that night. She had another sip of her drink, the glass was nearly empty, so she filled it up. She read on through the contract and came to a part where she needed to sign. She looked at it, put it to one side, and examined at the second part of the contract. It read more like a questionnaire than a contract, she noticed there were two parts to each question. One was for the dom to answer and the other for the sub, it was an agreement to be drawn up between the two people, stating their wants and needs. She couldn’t fill it out until she knew who her master was. She now knew she wanted to go ahead and carry on exploring her new found desires.

  She would need to talk to Gary and make her feelings clear, she put both the contracts back in the envelope. Had Gary enjoyed it as much as she had? She still didn’t really understand how he’d come to be there but she hadn’t given him a chance to explain. She needed to go back to Gary. She finished the second glass of wine a lot more quickly than the first; she emptied the last of the bottle into the glass, and reached for her phone. She stopped the music, and as she went back to the phone menu, she saw a new message from Gary. She clicked on it. It read, ‘Alex listen to this. It sums up a lot.’ The message had an mp3 attached, ‘Just Give Me A Reason by Pink, featuring Nate Ruess.’ She’d heard it before, but not really listened to it, she wondered what Gary meant. She clicked play.

  “It’s been written in the scars on our hearts

  We’re not broken just bent

  And we can learn to love again”

  As she listened, she took in every word, and tears came into her eyes, it felt like Gary had written the song himself. She loved him so much; she stopped the song and picked up the phone and rang Gary.

  “Hello Gary, I got your message, the song is lovely,” she said softly.

  “Did it make you understand what I’m trying to say?” Gary asked.

  “Yes, I think so, Gary I’m sorry for running out on you like that, I do love you, I always have done even with what happe
ned.” Alex’s voice got a bit shaky, she felt like she was going to cry.

  “I know Alex, I just wanted to hear you say the words to me, make me feel them to be true, I miss you so much.”

  “I do mean them, I miss you too, I wish I was there next to you now.”

  “Alex, you need this break, stay with your mom and dad till the weekend, like you said, then you can come home refreshed and ready to talk.”

  “Gary, will you be ok after what has happened?”

  “Of course. You are my one and only Alex, and watching you the other night, made me realise that all the more.”

  Alex smiled. “You didn’t just watch though did you?”

  “No, I wanted to be the first to taste how much you were enjoying it.” Gary said in a slow sexy voice. She wasn’t sure if it was talking about the other night, or the wine taking effect, but she was feeling horny and wanted Gary so bad.

  “What is it Alex, what’s the matter?”

  “Nothing I just feel . . . I want you Gary, I wish you were here, I want you now.”

  “Well, I may not be there in person but I’m sure we can sort something out!”

  “I don’t understand,” said Alex.

  “Tell me what have on right now, what are you wearing?”

  Alex began to comprehend. “I’m wearing something new. Something I know you will approve of when you see it.”

  “Describe it to me.”

  “I have on a purple lace baby doll, it’s made of silk which is next to my skin, and then the lace is on top. I have on matching panties as well.”

  “I want you to close your eyes for me and lie down on the bed. Let’s see if I can give you some relief,” said Gary.

  Alex lay back on the bed.

  “Alex are you home alone? Yes? Good . . . We don’t want anyone hearing us, put me on speaker phone and put the phone next to you.”

  Alex did as she was told.

  “Are you comfortable?” asked Gary.

  “Yes!”

  “I need you to keep your eyes closed for me, and use your hands as if they are mine.”

  “Gary wait.”

  “What is it?”

  “I have the blindfold from the other night” said Alex excitedly.

  “Really, I won’t ask why you took that with you,” he laughed.

  Alex got the blindfold and tied it over her eyes and lay back on the bed.

  “I’m ready for you now.”

  Gary continued. “Now run your hands down on to your breasts and feel them through your clothes. Describe everything for me.”

  Alex began to slowly run her hands down her neck onto the top of the exposed skin of her breasts. “I’m slowly moving my hands down my neck, circling my fingertips across the top of my breasts, touching the tips of my bra, stroking them gently, I can feel the material.”

  “Free your breasts for me Alex.”

  Alex continued, “My hands are cupping each breast, and now I’m squeezing them gently and softly.”

  “Squeeze your nipples between your fingers.”

  Alex began to squeeze and pull her nipples, they were erect and swollen, she continued to circle her fingers around her nipples.

  “Lick your fingers and wet your nipples, as though I’m licking them. Make them wet.”

  Alex sucked on her fingers and ran them over her nipples, and she gave out a moan of pleasure.

  “You’re enjoying this, aren’t you Alex?”

  “Yes,” she sighed.

  “Take off your top for me.”

  “I am taking one strap off at a time, slowly pulling them down my arms. I can imagine your kiss following the straps down my arms, feeling soft and wet on my arms. I’ve taken the top off now, and I’m lying on the bed again and you are touching me softly with your lips on my stomach. . .” She ran her moist fingers over her stomach.

  “Put your hand on the top of your panties for me, and tell me what you feel,” his voice was getting husky. He’s enjoying this as much as I am, thought Alex.

  “My panties are damp, I’m wet for you. I need your touch.”

  “And you shall get it,” said Gary, “take your panties off. I want you naked.” She did what he said.

  “Now play with yourself, I want you to feel yourself.”

  Alex began to move her fingers inside, and circle her nub, she gave out a moan when she touched it, she could feel her juices flowing.

  “Gary I’m so hot, you’re making me so horny, I want you to hold your length for me, so we can come together.”

  “Whatever my lady wants.”

  She listened to Gary telling her he was now holding himself and slowly moving his hand up and down his length, imagining it was her gripping him. Alex moved her fingers faster and faster, she needed release, she moaned louder as she could feel the heat rising in her pelvis, Gary moaned also.

  “I’m going to explode,” cried Alex.

  “Do it for me, do it now,” he responded, and with that both of them released their pleasure. They had never had phone sex before, it was another first.

  “Alex we haven’t finished just yet,” Gary said, “I want you to taste your fingers for me, and suck on them as though you are sucking on me, and with the other hand feel yourself again, I think you deserve one more.” Alex placed her finger in her mouth and began to suck while feeling herself, she was so sensitive.

  “That’s right suck hard, rub harder,” her back arched as she came again, this time she lay still and took off the blindfold and reached for the phone.

  “I love you so much Alex, you always surprise me,” said Gary.

  “I love you too, I will be home soon, sleep tight and thank you,” Alex replied.

  “Go to sleep Alex. I’ll see you soon, and thank you for tonight, I feel better.” Gary blew a kiss down the phone and hung up.

  Alex climbed under the covers, still naked. She closed her eyes, a smile came to her lips; she knew everything would be ok.

  Chapter Thirteen

  Alex woke early as the sun was rising; she looked at her mobile and remembering last night she chuckled. Early morning swim is needed, she thought, and got up and picked out one of her new bikinis.

  It was quiet and she wasn’t sure what time her mom and dad had come home, they were still sleeping. She got into the pool. It hadn’t had a chance to warm up yet, but she dipped herself under to try to get used to the water, then began to swim up and down the pool.

  She felt like a great load had been lifted, she’d had a great night’s sleep and now felt she could enjoy herself. After about half an hour of swimming, she got out and went back into the house. Still no one was up. Alex went to her room and had a shower and put on one of the new dresses her mom had bought her.

  Still no sign of anyone, so Alex went in the kitchen and set about making breakfast for everyone. Bacon, scrambled eggs, toast, the works . . . the smell did the trick, and her parents wandered in, still half asleep, smiling at the sight of Alex laying the table.

  “Morning, did you have a good night?” asked Alex as she set out the plates on the table. Her mom and dad sat down, watching her bring all the different food to the table.

  “Do you want tea? I have got a pot brewed just as you like Mom, and the coffee is done as well Dad,” Alex sung out, bringing the cups over and sitting down.

  “Someone’s feeling better I see,” laughed her dad and began to tuck into the big breakfast. Alex just gave her dad a look and winked at him.

  “Have you sorted it out with Gary then?” asked her mom.

  “Yes, we still have a few things to talk through, but we sorted a lot out last night, so we are on the right path.” Alex gave her mom a look to show she was fine.

  “Uncle Joe and the gang are coming today aren’t they? I thought I’d go and get some extra supplies in, while you relax and get ready,” said Alex. Her mom began to say something but her dad touched her arm to stop her.

  “That would be great Ally, thank you,” he said.

  Alex got up
and kissed both her mom and dad, and then fetched her mom’s car keys.

  “Can I use the car?” asked Alex.

  “Yes, sure go on,” replied her mom, and with that Alex left.

  Alex was soon in town picking up food and drink for the evening. Her mobile rang and she answered the call, which was from a number which she didn’t recognize.

  “Hello.”

  “Hello is that Mrs Sterling?” said a woman.

  “Yes, speaking. How can I help?” said Alex.

  “Mrs Sterling, I’m calling from the Queen Elizabeth Hospital, it’s your husband, he was rushed into hospital in the early hours of this morning, he is stable now, so nothing to panic about, but he’s been asking for you.”

  “What happened? I spoke to him last night and he was fine,” Alex’s voice faltered, her heart was in her mouth.

  “He was found this morning, collapsed on the floor. Please Mrs Sterling, don’t be too anxious, he is comfortable, they are just running a few tests. If you could just come as soon as you can, and we will be able to tell you more.”

  “Ok, I’m in Spain at the moment, so I will be there as soon as I can get a flight,” answered Alex.

  “Thank you Mrs Sterling and please try not to worry too much, he is doing fine.”

  Alex ended the call and she numbly went to the till and paid for her shopping. She put it in the car and drove back to her mom and dad’s in a daze. What happened? He was ok when we finished the call.

  As she carried the shopping in she felt like everything was moving in slow motion.

  “Ally what’s wrong Ally?” said her mom seeing how pale Alex was.

  “It’s Gary, the hospital called, something’s wrong with him. I don’t know what, I just need to get back, he needs me,” cried Alex in a rush to get her words out.

  “Ok calm down, everything will be ok,” said her mom coming over to her. Her dad went and got her a drink of water as Alex dissolved into floods of tears. He put his arms round her and held her tight.
