Discipline

by Emma York

“That’s good to hear.” She picked up the remaining parcels. “Come on, upstairs.”

  “Why not here?”

  “I can’t think of a single good reason.” She put the parcels back down. “Do you want to see what’s in the rest of these?”

  “They can wait. Strip.”

  She was out of her work clothes so fast, I couldn’t help but smile.

  “As you commanded,” she said, extending a little curtsey in my direction,” Sir.”

  “You look good naked,” I replied, leaning down and kissing her nipples one after the other. “Now bend over and brace yourself, this may sting.”

  “I hope so.”

  I swished the crop through the air again. “Ready?”

  She looked over her shoulder at me, her hands gripping the dining table tightly. “Ready.”

  I brought the crop down on her ass a second later. It left a deep red mark where it struck, a scream escaping her a second later. “Good?” I asked.

  “Harder.”

  I lifted the crop, bringing it down a second time. This time she gasped instead of screaming, her legs starting to shake as she shuffled her knees apart, her ass pointing back at me, begging for more.

  I brought the crop down again and again, each time her gasps growing louder. Pausing to rub her ass with my hand, I was rewarded by the feel of heat coming from her, a sign the crop was doing its job. “I can’t wait,” I said, fumbling with my trousers, kicking them down, freeing my cock which pointed straight towards her. “Don’t move.”

  “I wouldn’t dream of it.” Her voice was weak but I knew she was telling the truth. She had never lied to me.

  I stroked the tip of my cock against her pussy, loving the wetness, enjoying the teasing sensation for as long as I could before thrusting slowly in a long movement deep into her. I pulled her hips back onto me at the same time, not stopping until I was buried all the way inside her.

  Rocking back and forth, I smiled to myself. I still couldn’t believe how happy she made me, how different things were with her compared to anyone else in my life before. She really was perfect, obeying my every command but with that hint of feisty defiance that made things spicy, stopped things getting boring.

  We might not have used the crop before but we’d used lots of other things and there were still the parcels in front of me.

  Reaching down, I slipped a finger into her ass, moving it in the way I knew she loved most, bringing her orgasm closer.

  When I could tell she was on the edge, I paused, waiting for the question I knew was coming. “Please can I come?” she asked.

  “Come for me,” I replied. “Come around my cock. I want to feel you coming for me.”

  I thrust deep into her and she did exactly as I asked, screaming her way through an intense climax. Her insides contracted around my cock and with another thrust, I was lost, spurting deep into her, groaning as I did so, loving it as if it was the first time. Every time was like the first, so new, so exciting, so perfect.

  I thrust one last time before sliding back out of her pussy. At once she sank to her knees, sucking me into her mouth, squeezing the last drops from me, licking the tip until I pulled her upright.

  Holding her tight against me, I whispered, “I got a parcel too today. Do you want to see it?”

  She nodded. “What is it?”

  I was still wearing my jacket. The box was in the inside pocket. I pulled it out and placed it in her palm. “Have a look.”

  “What is it?” she asked, looking down at it in disbelief.

  “If only there was some way of you finding out.”

  “All right, Sarcasm Boy.” But she was smiling as she said it, opening the lid to reveal the sparkling jewels topping the ring inside. “Is this…for me?”

  “If you’re up for marrying a man with his trousers off.”

  “As long as you put them back on in time for the wedding.”

  “Don’t try to change me, baby.”

  Then we were kissing and it was glorious. I put the ring on her finger a minute later. It looked right there. “I have another parcel,” she said as she looked down at it. “But it didn’t come in the post.”

  “What? You mean…?”

  She took my hand and moved it to her stomach, pressing it flat against her flesh. “A very special parcel.”

  Then we were kissing again. I thought we were perfect as a couple but I hadn’t even realised things could get even better. “You’re happy?” she asked. “About…?”

  “About becoming a family? I couldn’t be happier. How far along are you?”

  “Far enough to be sure. Hopefully not far enough to need the wedding dress taking out.”

  “Then we better get planning hadn’t we?”

  I wrapped her in my arms, feeling the warmth of her skin against me.

  "I love you," I said, kissing the top of her head.

  "I love you too," she replied, looking up adoringly at me.

  We stayed like that for a very long time.

  EPILOGUE TWO- LUCY

  One year later...

  I stood on the highest rock, looking out at the distant horizon. It felt so different to last time I was here, the ring on my finger was evidence of that if not my stronger arms, my warmer heart, the joy coursing through me. Married. Such a simple word and yet there was so much contained within it. The hopes and fears, the stresses and pleasures, all of those things summed up in a single word.

  I had worried right up to the day itself that something would go wrong. I couldn’t have such a run of luck without it ending. I managed to convince myself that the minute I entered the church, I would wake up and be back where I started, living with Anna, about to start a new job, only this time there would be no Bill waiting in the office to meet me, to sweep me off my feet, to introduce me to a world of glorious submission.

  It didn’t happen. It was perfect, what I had time to remember of it. I didn’t confess my fears until afterwards, when Bill and I were alone in bed together. It had been a whirlwind of a day, seeming to race by so fast I hardly breathed, let alone had time to talk to him properly about things. He laughed when I told him, saying he'd feared the same thing, that this was a dream he was about to wake from. I pinched him to make sure we weren't dreaming and he spanked me in return.

  I was glad of the photos of our big day. They were the frozen snapsnots of time that allowed me to relive things whenever I wanted. The dress, my beautiful dress. It was stunning but nothing compared to Bill. He looked incredible and I barely understood why he wanted to be with someone like me. Even looking back through the photos, I couldn't understand it. As Anna said to me though, you don’t need to understand why, you just need to accept. And I did. I accepted his hand in marriage. I accepted his love for me. I accepted everything. I was content. More than content. I was truly happy.

  The sun crept up over the horizon, lighting the fields in a yellow orange glow, warming my heart as it moved towards the rocks across the dry stone walls, an inch at a time.

  Back at Almscliffe Crag. My first time climbing it as a married woman. I hoped it wouldn’t be the last. I had taken up climbing again, in the rare free moments I had. Half my time was taken up with the food club. Since we’d been able to expand across the whole country, we were busier than ever, me and Anna travelling enough to wonder if we needed to hire someone to take over for us. She barely had time to promote the sequel to her bestseller, having to slot in the book signings with the carrot choppings and hunts for new venues.

  I was trying to juggle helping at the food club with life as a new mother. I’d pared back my hours at Snow Day, possible only because Ellie had taken on much of my work, stepping into my shoes so well, we worked in sync like we were the same person. It was a good system. I had the executive position, helping shape the future direction of Snow Day but I didn’t lose the precious first years with Alice. Ellie got great experience for taking over some day if I decided to dedicate myself to other things at any point in the future.

>   I heard a grunt down to my left and then a hand swung up and over the rock. Bill’s head appeared a moment later as he hauled himself upright. “How are you so much faster than me?” he asked, coming to stand beside me. “Did you cheat and run round the slope at the back instead?”

  “I’ve had more practice,” I replied, slipping my hand into his. “What do you think of that sunrise?”

  “I think I need to catch my breath for a minute.” But he smiled as he said it, squeezing my fingers before turning to look at me. “The important question is what do you think of that sunrise? Better than the ones in London?”

  “I think it looks beautiful and I think I’d like to bring Alice here one day.”

  “I’m sure she’s fine with Ted and Marie.”

  “I didn’t say she wasn’t fine. Did I say I thought she wasn’t fine?”

  “No, but you were thinking it.”

  “I just miss her.”

  “I do too but it’s only until tonight. She wouldn’t have enjoyed that long in the car.”

  “I know, I know. I had to see the food club set up in Harrogate and she would have been bored but that doesn’t mean I can’t still miss her.”

  He kissed my cheek. “I miss her too. You know, maybe we should hire someone to do this.”

  “To climb for me? It kind of defeats the point, don’t you think?”

  “Not to climb for you, to do the food club stuff, let you focus on Alice.”

  I shook my head. “Maybe one day but not yet.”

  “I know, it’s your other baby and you don’t want to let go.”

  “Not just that.”

  “What then?”

  “It gave me an excuse to come back here.”

  “What? To Harrogate?”

  “Do you remember the conference?”

  He nodded. “Of course, how could I forget?”

  “I came here, climbing, on the Monday before I went back to London. I stood right here and looked out at these fields and I just felt so at peace. I had to come back.”

  “Hang on, does that mean you were skiving off work to go climbing while I was waiting for you to come in?”

  “Maybe,” I said with a wicked smile. “What are you going to do about it?”

  “You look happy.”

  “I am, I have you and this sunrise all to ourselves. But are you changing the subject?"

  "Maybe. Maybe I have some news."

  "Of yes. Spill the beans. You told me you had a secret and you’d only tell me when we got to the top. We're at the top so tell me.”

  “I did promise that didn’t I?”

  “Quit stalling and tell me.”

  “I’ve a new investment on the go.”

  “What is it? Ebooks not making obscene enough profits for you?”

  “That’s why I’m thinking of this. I want to try something different, step away from publishing for a while.”

  “And do what?” I tugged at his arm impatiently.

  “There’s a nightclub come up for sale. It’s called Club Darkness.”

  “Sounds ominous.”

  “I thought it was time we take our sub Dom relationship to a whole new level.”

  “You mean…”

  “We open the club we’ve been talking about, do it out as a private place, exclusive membership, all that jazz.”

  “Wow.”

  “What do you think?”

  “I think it’s a lot of work to take on when we’ve got Snow Day, the food club, and Alice to bring up.”

  “I’m going to step down from Snow Day.”

  “What? Are you sure?”

  He nodded, looking more sure of himself than I’d ever seen him. “I’m sure. I’ve been thinking about it for a while. I didn’t tell you but I’ve been on the lookout for a place like Club Darkness for a long time. There’s going to be some very naughty things that happen there if I have my way. I wondered if you’d like to help work out what they should be?”

  “What?” I said, sliding the waistband of my trousers down, turning away from him to bend forwards just enough. “Naughty things like this.”

  I heard his intake of breath when he saw the plug. “When did you put that in?”

  “Before we set off this morning.”

  “And you didn’t tell me?”

  “I thought it’d be a nice surprise, a reward for you climbing up here with me.”

  He glanced around him to make sure we were alone before saying, “Get on all fours.”

  I melted whenever he said that. We’d been together so long but I didn’t think I’d ever get used to him saying that in such a commanding voice. I couldn’t help but obey. My trousers were just above my knees so the hardness of the rock under me wasn’t too bad though it felt cold on my hands as I looked down below me.

  People had carved their initials, below me was a date. 1869. Had climbers been coming here that long? Had any of them done what he was about to do to me? My attention was brought back to Bill a second later when his hand smacked onto the centre of my ass, sending the plug jolting deeper into me, making me gasp with shock. I would never, ever, get used to the shock of the first spank, no matter how long we were together, no matter how many times he did this.

  “One day I’ll do this to you at the club,” he said, spanking me again. “At our club.”

  I gasped as he smacked me a third time, this blow firmer than the last, sending shuddering tendrils of pleasure through me with the pain, my nerve endings coming to life. It was made all the more exciting by the fact we were in the open air. Someone could appear at any moment.

  “Fuck me,” I growled, unable to hold in my desire any longer. The plug had been turning me on ever since the drive, the sensation made stronger by the movement of my body as I’d climbed to the top of the crag. Now, with his hand smacking my bare ass in the morning sunlight, I couldn’t wait for it. I had to have him in me.

  “You’re not in charge,” he said but I heard him rustling with his trousers all the same. A moment later he had hold of my hips, his cock warm between my legs as he teased my clit with the tip. His fingers dipped into me, testing my wetness, making sure I was ready. I was more than ready. I ached for him.

  I never expected to feel such desire after we’d been together this long but our bond had only grown stronger over time. Each time he was in me was like the first, a shock at the sheer size of him and then melting into the pleasure of the moment, the rest of the world vanishing, just the two of us.

  The sun rose above the rocks as he moved his cock slowly into me, my whole body alive with need, my mind awash with fear that we would be caught, secret desire that someone might see, all mingled with my ever growing love for him.

  He eased himself all the way into me, his hips making the plug in my ass shift in place, groans escaping my lips like I wasn’t in control of my own voice. “Fuck me,” I managed to say again before my breath left me. He was ramming into me so fast I could only try to stay in place, all strength leaving me. I thought I might collapse but he held me up, slamming back and forth into my pussy before stopping as if he had done nothing at all. I snarled with frustration while he rocked too slowly at the entrance to me, ignoring my hips which tried to push back onto him.

  “I told you I was in charge,” he said, spanking me again. “Remember?”

  “Please,” I said. “Please let me come.”

  He chuckled, a deep sound that drove me wild. I knew what was about to happen. “Come for me,” he said, thrusting again.

  His command was enough. My body responded in seconds, an earth-shattering orgasm tearing through me. “I’m coming,” I screamed, my back arched, my body awake, my mind ablaze. I shook in place but he wasn’t done yet. Before I’d even had time to recover he was thrusting again, slamming home, the plug moving and shifting in time with his movements.

  “I’m going to come in you,” he said. “Do you want it?”

  “I don’t want it,” I replied greedily. “I need it. Give it to me. Come in me
, Sir, please come in me.”

  He groaned and then I felt it, his cock twitching and pulsating deep inside me, filling me with that warmth that I knew so well, that I never tired of feeling.

  I heard a jangle to my left and he was out of me a second later. I yanked my trousers back in place and stood on shaky legs as the first climber of the day appeared to our left, bringing his equipment up to the top to dangle down for others. Looking behind me, I saw a line of helmeted figures walking up through the field below, their cars parked in a row on the roadside verge. How had we not seen them?

  “Morning,” he said, nodding to us both.

  “Good morning,” Bill replied, his hand in mine as we started to walk back down, taking the easy slope to the surrounding fields. Only when we were out of sight did I start to giggle, bursting out laughing a second later.

  “That was close,” I said. “My heart’s still racing. Did you not see him coming?”

  “I did,” Bill replied. “But luckily he didn’t see us coming.”

  Then we were laughing together as we walked back down towards the car, leaving the crag to the other climbers. A minute later, we set off, driving down the road and back towards the life we had only briefly left behind, towards a new one. Club Darkness. Sounded intriguing.
