Bound Together

by Marie Coulson

  A heap of items landed on the sheets and I eyed them inquisitively. Handcuffs I recognized and some red satin ribbon. But the rest were an absolute conundrum. Picking up an item that looked like an elongated ping pong racket; Jared swatted the air and smiled at my perplexed expression. “Don’t look so frightened Layla. This is a paddle. It’s used mostly for spanking which is something that a lot of couples do. There’s a fine line between pleasure and pain and some of these items here are designed to heighten your senses while also giving you pleasure. When I had you over my shoulder earlier I spanked you and I even bit you. How did it feel?” My face wrinkled and my nose screwed up as embarrassment flushed through my body. Could I really admit that I had liked it? That it excited me and certainly heightened my senses as he just said? Swallowing my prudish pride I decided to come clean. “I guess I kind of liked it.”

  “Kind of liked it?”

  “Fine. It was hot”

  He grinned. “So spanking? Something you’d be willing to try?” I nodded but remained silent. “I need a verbal and definitive answer here Layla. Yes or no?”

  “Yes.”

  Placing the paddle on a pillow he picked up the handcuffs and dangled them from his finger. Without hesitation I nodded enthusiastically. He laughed lightly and tossed them onto the pillow with the paddle. Next was a set of leather straps held together by a thin chain, each had a hook attached and they looked a little menacing with metal studs embroidered into the cuffs. “These are door restraints. The hooks go over the top of the door and these leather straps are the cuffs to hold your wrists together. These, the handcuffs and a few other items I possess are all for restraining you. Keeping you still and in place. They’re not painful. I would never use anything on you that would cause you pain. Well, not excessively anyway.” He winked at me as I contemplated the idea of totally giving myself over to this man. To be at his mercy and also his every command as he made the choice to deliver me both pleasure and pain so readily.

  I really didn’t feel comfortable with the whole Dom and sub idea but I was happy to spend time playing with a few toys and straps. Besides, the spanking he’d given me in the parking lot was exciting beyond comprehension. “Jared, I think cuffs, restraints and toys could be fun, but I’m really not into the whole BDSM scene.”

  “Neither am I, but I do want to possess you. You belong to me Layla and I want you to submit your body to me, only your body. I want you to trust me completely and give over to intense pleasure at my hands. I want to tease, tempt and devour you in every way and I want you to be totally at my mercy. I will never do anything you don’t want to do and I will never be cruel. The moment you say so, we stop. We can even have a safe word if you want one.”

  “A safe word?”

  “When you’re in the throes of ecstasy sometimes we say no or stop when we don’t mean it. The safe word is a cease and desist button. The moment that word leaves your lips I’ll stop, release you and won’t continue till you say so. Alright?” That, admittedly, made me feel better about the whole thing. Knowing that at any time, if I felt uneasy or uncomfortable I could end it with one word was comforting. Oh screw it. I needed some adventure and fun in my life and with Jared I was undeniably going to get it.

  Looking around at the pile of toys on the bed I scooped them all up in my arms and dropped them on the pillow with the others. Grinning at me like a school boy, Jared laughed. “What on earth are you doing?”

  “I’ve decided I’m ok with it. All of it. There’s just one thing I absolutely do not want to do. I’m definitely not into anal play. None, zip, zero, nada. I know some guys are into that but I’m just not comfortable with it. But other than that, I trust you. Whatever you want to introduce into our lovemaking, I have complete faith in your judgment. As for this safe word I was thinking…coffee?”

  Planting a soft, slow kiss on my lips, he murmured into my mouth. “I love it and I love you for thinking of it.”

  Pushing me down gently on the sheets, his mouth sealed over mine. Slipping his tongue in and seeking my own, he kissed me tenderly, lovingly and with a deep passion. His hands were in my hair massaging my scalp with his fingertips. I groaned as he lifted himself onto his forearms and hovered over me. Brushing a strand of hair from my face, he gave me a half-hearted smile. “I love you so much Layla. The next four days are going to be torture. Being apart from you and these lips…” He gave me a gentle peck before moving to my eyelids and kissing each one sweetly and lightly. “…And these beautiful, dazzling eyes, this smooth, wonderful skin.” His lips travelled southwards over my cheeks to my jaw. While tracing his fingertips down my neck, he unbuttoned his expensive shirt which was hugging my curves beneath him. “And these full, ample, voluptuous breasts, I could fondle them all day and never get bored. I love how your body reacts and readies itself for me, for us, for pure ecstasy and pleasure.”

  My eyes closed as the feel of his warm breath on my skin made the hairs on my neck stand on end. He was right. My body was standing to attention from his touch, his words and the sexy purring of his voice. He exuded sex appeal and his power over me was all consuming and I loved it. His hands left my breasts for a moment and my eyes sprung open as warm oil slid over them, dribbling onto the sheets below me as it rolled over my skin. The scents of cinnamon, orange, Jared and sex made me light headed and I was almost swooning. His slippery fingers pinched and rolled my nipples between them, I arched my back and thrust them into his palms and he gladly kneaded and groped them, varying the pressure between soft gentle strokes and hard squeezing grips. My breasts weren’t the only part of me that was slippery at this point. I was so turned on by this touch I was as wet as a water slide. The throbbing between my legs was now an aching painful need. “Oh Jared, Oh my god.” I whimpered.

  Leaving my breasts he continued to glide his hands down my stomach, swirling around my navel gently. I was ablaze with desire for him as his hands travelled further over the curves of my hips, gripping them before letting go and caressing my thighs. More oil poured onto my flesh, leaving my skin drenched in a slick delicious coating. His hands and fingers expertly teased over every inch of my body, my toes, the soles of my feet, my calves, behind my knees and my thighs; no single area went unnoticed. His attentive and tender rubbing drove me wild with lust. As his soft lips grazed the inside of my thigh I whimpered. I could feel him smiling against my skin as he licked and caressed the inside of my silky and sensitive thighs while his hot mouth, travelled further and further up. I thrust my hips upwards, begging him to give me what I needed, what I craved. Lifting his head, he shook it at me. “Tut tut tut. I think now would be a very good time to introduce some of these toys.”

  I’d never tried anything like this before and my nerves were beginning to grip me. I bit my lip, trying not to let my apprehension show as Jared crawled across the enormous bed to the pillow. He rifled through the pile before settling on one of the long pieces of red satin ribbon. Turning his gaze to me, he smiled. “I think we’ll start off gently. Come here to me. Lie down with your head on the pillow and put your hands over your head, interlocking your fingers.” Threading the soft, silky material between his fingers he gave me a mischievous smile. I crawled across the bed to him and did exactly as he asked. Taking my hands he pressed them against a bar on the headboard and twisting the satin around both my wrists, knotted it firmly into place. I wriggled my fingers but it was not going to budge. Tight enough to hold me but not to bite into my wrists, the smooth material felt soft and cool against my skin.

  Supporting himself on his palms, he lowered his mouth onto mine and kissed me sweetly. I moaned into his mouth and he responded with his own deep throaty groan. Sitting back onto his heels, he grinned at me as my eyes roamed all over his sizzling hot body, his perfectly formed pecks and his smooth caramel skin which was glistening from the oil we had rubbed all over each other. My gaze traveled south to his deep and defined Apollo’s belt. The urge to run my tongue over the grooves made me very aware that I was tied to th
e bed. I was completely at his mercy…and I liked it.

  “Enjoying the view my lady? I hope so, because it’s the last thing you’re going to see for a while. “ Taking a long piece of black silk from the pile, he laid beside me propped on one elbow. Dangling the fabric over my breast, he let it gently brush against my skin before dragging it slowly over my nipple, down my stomach and over my sex. I exhaled slowly, trying to calm my racing pulse as the tickling sensations sent shivers up my body and goose bumps appeared on my pale, soft skin.

  Seeing my obvious pleasure, he continued to trail the fabric over me while I bowed and writhed, pulling tightly on my restraint. Bringing the material up to my neck, he let it slide gently over my cheeks and across my eyelids before gripping it with his hands. “I’m going to blindfold you Layla, remember you can use that word at any time and I will stop. Understand?” Words escaped me. I was so aroused I’d have agreed to join the mob if he’d asked me to. I would have given him anything just to feel him inside me, giving me my release. But at the moment, I couldn’t even form a coherent sentence. As a small whimper left my lips, I nodded. “Good girl.”

  Darkness consumed me as the soft, silky material covered my eyes, leaving me blind. I could smell the sweet fragrance of the oil and the musky tones of his cologne. His warm breath on my face revealed his position and I bit my lip so hard I thought I might puncture it as I waited impatiently for his next move. “Oh baby, you have no idea how good you look right now. I could eat you up, in fact, I think I might.” My breath hitched as his mouth swiftly moved south to my sex. His palms pressed firmly on my knees, he pushed my legs apart forcefully as he placed a soft kiss on my pubic bone and ran his hands up and over my thighs, massaging and groping as he moved them to my behind. Lifting me up slightly from the bed, he positioned his hands on my ass and held me tightly. My knees became elevated on what I could only assume were his shoulders as his hair tickled the inside of my thigh while his mouth covered me, sliding his tongue up and down my moist slit. “You taste divine.”

  He was teasing me, tempting me with his expert tongue. Tenderly, he pushed it through the fleshy lips. As I gripped the restraint on my wrists tightly, his tongue found my swollen clit. Flicking and rolling his way over it at varying speeds, he drove me to the edge quickly before slowing his pace, leaving me bereft and frustrated. I growled at the insensitive way he was torturing me and I heard him give a throaty chuckle. “Oh baby, you are so wet, so hot, so warm and totally delicious, I’m not ready to let you go just yet.”

  “Please Jared. I need it. I’m so close it’s practically indecent, please?” His tongue resumed its frenzied attack on my clit and I moved my hips, matching his rhythm but he continued to deny me my orgasm. In a last attempt to get what I needed I thrust my hips against his mouth, urging him to go deep inside me. It worked, his tongue darted inside and frantically began rolling, thrusting and licking my g-spot. The orgasmic sensations grew stronger and unbelievably intense. My breathing became harsher and more ragged till all at once a euphoric pleasure surged through my body like an electric current. My muscles stiffened as the ripples of ecstasy coursed through me, making me cry out in pure satisfied bliss. Deprived of the privileges of touch and sight I had submitted my body to his will and the reward was intense beyond anything I’d ever felt. His lips closed around mine and he kissed me fervently. I could feel my slick wetness on his chin and taste my salty liquid on his tongue.

  Lying on top of me, he wrapped his arms around me tightly, holding me in a warm embrace. I pulled hard on the restraints, wanting so badly to run my hands over his body. I wanted to look into his deep blue eyes and lose myself in them as he loved and caressed every inch of me. Almost as though he read my mind Jared removed the blindfold and untied my wrists. Casting them aside he smiled down at me with an expression of pure content. He ran his thumb over my cheek again and sighed. “I can’t believe I have to leave you in six hours. I wish you could come with me. Promise me you’ll be ok while I’m gone. The thought of anything happening to you when I can’t be here is crippling me Layla. I’m tempted to tie you up again just to make sure you don’t go anywhere and put yourself in danger.” I smiled and kissed the tip of his nose, knowing perfectly well that he had probably considered doing just that. “I’ll be fine. I swear, I’ll be right here waiting for you when you get back. Try not to worry too much, please, you’ll make yourself frantic.”

  He kissed me deeply and with my hands now free, I stretched them around his back, pulling him into me. His erection pressed hard into my stomach and I found it not only encouraging but full of further sensual promise. He wasn’t quite done with me yet. Pressing his lips against mine he murmured. “I’m going to make love to you Layla, slowly, softly and completely lose myself in you.” Reaching above my head he grabbed a foil packet from the night stand and tore it open, never ending his passionate kiss as he did so. Sitting on his heels he slid the condom over his hard cock and gazing into my eyes, gently sank into me. My mouth opened, forming an O as he filled me. I could feel every inch as he gradually moved deeper inside. His hips rocked slowly on mine as his hands explored my body, teasing my skin as he grazed it with his fingertips. His kisses were profound and meaningful. It was as though our bodies were expressing our feelings for one another in a way words just couldn’t describe. Nuzzling my neck I could feel his heavy, warm breath on my throat. I wound my legs around him, my feet pushing into his buttocks urging him to move faster and deeper but he continued at his steady pace, prolonging our lovemaking.

  The aching in my stomach intensified as I felt my orgasm building and I began to rock my hips in time with his. He moaned deeply into my neck as I gripped my hands firmly on his back. My head fell back, my fingernails dragging downwards to the bottom of his spine as I held him tightly; ecstasy pouring through my veins, filling me once more. The room disappeared, my senses deserting me as a whooshing echoed in my ears. The pulsing pleasure of my orgasm along with the loving embrace that Jared held me in was an emotional overload and tears began to slide down my face. One must have dripped onto his own soft skin because he immediately stopped moving and lifted up, staring down at me. His eyes scanned my expression and a look of concern was etched on his face. “Baby, what is it? Did I hurt you?”

  A half sob, half laugh left my lips as I wiped the tears from my eyes. Shaking my head I cupped his face in my hands and smiled up at him. “You didn’t hurt me. I just got caught in the moment, I’m fine. I love you Jared Garrett. I hope you know that.”

  He planted a chaste kiss on my lips and grinned. “I love you too Layla Jennings, more than you could possibly fathom.”

  Moving back and forth gently he placed tiny soft kisses over my face, caressing, loving and adoring every freckle, line and curve of my body as he rocked his hips into mine. “You. Are. So. Beautiful. God, Layla. You’re a magnificent work of art.” Slowly I felt another orgasm building and I let out a soft whimper. Again? Really? I’d heard of multiple orgasms but having never experienced so many in such little time, I’d assumed it was merely a myth. My muscles were clenching and tightening around him inside me. With a clenched jaw he panted in my ear. “Oh Layla, come with me baby. I’m close, try to hold on.” His words were an intoxicating aphrodisiac and I struggled to control my body as I writhed and wriggled beneath him. Thrusting into me deeply he tensed, gripping the sheets on either side of my head as he found his release. As if on cue, my own orgasm swept over me in an explosion of hot, mind blowing pleasure. Tears began to stream down my face once more but this time he never questioned them, he merely wiped them away and kissed me, holding me tightly to him.

  We made love over and over for what seemed like hours before collapsing into a dazed sleepy state. Pulling me to him Jared spooned me as I lay enveloped in his arms. His face nuzzled my hair as he lay behind me, silently drifting in and out of slumber. I laid there for a while, staring into the dark. My mind trying to make sense of everything that had happened since I’d moved here.

  T
houghts of Ollie invaded my serene day dreams. The situation between us was gradually reaching boiling point and our friendship was in jeopardy, the longer things went on. I knew how he felt about me and there I was flaunting, my happy relationship in front of him. He’d made it very clear what he thought of Jared and that was something I couldn’t easily let go of. He could be mad at me for leading him on, he could be mad at himself for not making a move, but being mad at Jared for loving me, that was not going to fly. This was going to get ugly if I didn’t do something soon. With my party only a few days away I had a feeling that soon may have been a little closer than I’d have liked. The boys were just going to have to learn to play nicely. They both played a major part in my life and I wasn’t willing to give either of them up.

  I dozed dreamily in and out of consciousness and became suddenly aware that I was moving. Scooped in Jared’s arms, he was carrying me down the hall to the familiar guest room once again. Something inside me tightened and pulled with an aching hurt. Why wouldn’t he let me sleep in his bed? Was I not worth it to him? Was that a place he had had so many women before that now it was tainted? Thoughts buzzed through my mind and each more uncomfortable than the last. Placing me gently on the bed he shifted in behind me and squeezed me tightly. I tensed in his arms as my unanswered questions turned over and over in my mind. His mouth to my ear I could feel his long, even breaths. “I don’t know why you insist on torturing yourself all the time. I told you, I never share that bed. But I am sleeping with you whenever you’re here. Shouldn’t that tell you something at least? I love you Layla. Now stop thinking everything to death and go to sleep. You have class in the morning.” How did he know? He was right though. The past two nights I’d spent with Jared I had been curled up in his arms till morning, so why was I still so uneasy about where it was that we did so? I held my hands over his which were clasped together around my stomach and sighed. “Goodnight baby.”
