Skin Deep

by Trista Jaszczak

  “I’m sorry.”

  He inspects me carefully as his thumb gingerly rubs against my cheek. “Good.”

  I look up at him confused.

  “Because I’m falling in love with you, too.”

  I feel my cheeks start to heat up as I smile. “River…” I sigh his name, “really?”

  He gives me a nod as he pushes the hair that has fallen, away from my eyes.

  “I know it’s really fast. I didn’t even think it was possible, but we’ve really…bonded. I feel closer to you than anyone I've ever dated. It feels different.”

  He presses his lips to mine briefly. “It’s made us stronger, made us feel more connected.”

  I blush again. He does have a point. While I've struggled a little with allowing him to completely care for me, the aspect of submitting myself to him is…thrilling. To have him completely control me in the dark room, to anticipate his every move…to be spanked and then have his hand tenderly rub the stinging mark. To be bound, to be completely open to him. It’s all new and exhilarating. Some parts of being his sub have been easy to adjust to, I won’t lie. The punishment sucks on the other hand. Another punishment that I will surely have to take in the morning. I have no one but myself to blame. But it doesn’t make it feel any better.

  “Baby, what’s wrong?”

  I look up and give a little shrug.

  “Don’t lie to Daddy.” His voice changes to his Daddy tone as he stares into my eyes.

  “I was just thinking…” My voice trails and I swallow hard, this time imagining what my punishment could possibly be.

  “What’s on your mind princess?” He begins tugging the blanket around me and I realize that I'm sitting in bed with nothing more than my bra and panties on. The warm comforter surrounds me and I fight the urge to sink into the bed and drift to sleep.

  “I have to be punished in the morning again…” I pout, holding the blanket closer to me.

  “Lola, I’ve decided not to give you any additional punishment tomorrow.” He says softly, lifting my chin to look up at him. “You understood what you did was wrong. You understood that you directly disobeyed me. Your punishment tonight was clearly a trigger of your horrible past and as if that isn’t difficult enough, Kade lost all control with you.” He tenderly slides his thumb over my cheek and kisses my forehead. “I feel that it’s in your best interest if I don't pile on any additional punishment at this time.”

  I feel tears prick at my eyes. I’ve never felt more relieved before in my life. I let out a sigh, “Oh, Daddy…” My voice trails as I leap forward and wrap my arms around him. “Thank you.”

  “You’ve had a difficult night and I do understand that. But also know that you are to never see Kade now. Not outside of work, not inside of work.” He says sternly. “If it were up to me I would fire him, but you are the boss, you run Skin Deep and you have to do what’s best for your shop. I understand that you only have four of us, including yourself. Cas or I can work alongside Kade.”

  I pull away slowly to look at him. Turning River loose with Kade in the shop may not be the best thing in the world. He did threaten to kill Kade for hurting me on more than one occasion tonight. I will end up having to tell Cas what’s happened. I’ll have to explain about River and I. He knows that we’re dating at least, but I have zero ideas of how to tell him that River is my Dom. I release a little yawn as I feel my eyelids become heavy. I rub them gently as I feel my shoulders relax. I feel exhausted all of a sudden. After the night, I’ve had sleep wouldn’t be such a bad thing.

  “Princess, I think it’s time for bed,” River tells me, getting up from bed to head over to one of his dressers. “It’s been a long night for the both of us, I think we both could use a little more sleep.” He opens the top drawer and pulls out a folded, plain white tee shirt. He lays it neatly on the bed and reaches for my hands. “Do you want a bath before bed, princess?”

  I think for a moment. River does have a huge whirlpool tub that would feel like heaven to slip into right about now. I figure after he gets me out, dries me off, dresses me and puts me to bed, I'll probably be sleeping before my head hits the pillow. I give him a little nod, “I want a bath, please, Daddy.”

  He nods as he helps me get up from the bed and leads me to the master bathroom. I'll admit one thing, punishments aside, this part of his care is easy to adjust to. What woman doesn’t like being treated like a princess?

  While Lola has been successful in changing the schedule around, telling Cas has been a bit of a struggle for her. I've stepped in where needed, to help explain that I'm her Dom, but Cas has remained silent, for the most part, trying to take everything in.

  “Kade really hurt her?” Cas questions, crossing his arms, staring hard into my eyes.

  “He had her pinned on his couch. Left some nasty bruises on her wrist and up by her collar bone.” I explain, looking at Lola, who looks rather defeated at this point.

  Cas glances over at her. “Lo, are you really okay?”

  “Yeah, just, you know…trying to get over it. I've called Kade my best friend for years.” She says softly. “I don’t know what he was doing or what his intention truly was, but he hurt me.” She slides the neckline of her top over just enough to reveal the dark bruise near her collar bone.

  Cas’ jaw drops as he looks from me to River. “Lo, if River doesn’t kill him, I will. What the fuck was he thinking?”

  Lola and I both shrug silently.

  Cas looks me up and down. “And you're her…Dom?”

  “Boyfriend is the more socially acceptable term,” I tell him, “but, yes, I'm her Dom, she's my submissive. We didn’t know how to explain things to you without coming clean.”

  “Well, you telling her she couldn’t see Kade, without having a reason, would have made me look at you like you were fucking nuts.” Cas moves his eyes to Lola. “And, River is good to you, Lo?”

  She smiles and nods. “He treats me, well, like a princess.”

  “Well, I appreciate you both being honest with me. I'm sorry that Kade turned into a dick. Jesus, I ought to fucking give him a piece of my mind,” Cas says shaking his head. “I’ll take the shifts with him,” he looks at me and makes a face, “will you be able to honestly work with him knowing he hurt Lola? She doesn’t need you ending up in jail.”

  I laugh and nod. “I can control myself. I won’t want to, but I can, and I will.”

  “Lo, you should call up Arch. He hates L.A. with a fucking passion, he's been hoping you'd invite him back with a job in mind.”

  Lola’s eyes light up. “Really?”

  “Really, you know how Arch feels about this place. It’s home. And he can finally meet your…uh…River.”

  I let out a little laugh. “You can say that I’m her boyfriend, man. Besides, here at Skin Deep, she’s the boss.”

  “As long as you take care of her, that’s all that matters,” Cas tells me. “I might kill Kade before you get the damn chance. That fucking moron, I'm sorry, Lo, I don’t know what the fuck he was thinking. Jealousy is a fucking beast.”

  She gives him a little nod, “Well, it’s all said and done. Let’s just all relax and try to work. Cas you’ll work with Kade and I'll call Arch, see if he wants his job back.”

  “Oh, he wants his job back. He fucking hates L.A. the shop he’s at hardly gives him slots to work. They’re giving him shit, as the new kid, and won’t give him a chance to prove himself.”

  “Well, I know what he can fucking do, so if it’s up to me, he’ll be working here again by next week.”

  Cas smiles. “Just remember River, be good to her. She’s been through some shit in her life. Don’t make her add you to the list.”

  “She’s safe,” I tell him, “don’t worry.”

  “Well, I have to go make your schedule, Cas. I have it worked out to match all of your appointment times, I just need to change the main print out. Then I have to call Arch, so if you two will excuse me, I’ll be back.” Lola smiles as she heads down the ma
in hallway, past the ink rooms, and into her office.

  Cas turns to me smiling. “You’re a Dom?”

  I give him a nod. “I’m a Dom, yes.”

  “What the hell does a Dom do exactly?”

  “I like control, I need it, in every aspect of my life.”

  “So you control Lo?” He asks.

  “In a nutshell, yes.”

  “And she likes it?”

  “She had some issues adjusting to my care and control outside of the house, but yes she does.”

  “Well, you learn something new every fucking day,” he laughs, shaking his head. “Just be good to her.”

  “Trust me, she’s treated well. I won’t hurt her.”

  “I’m sorry to hear about Kade. I fucking trusted the kid, you know?”

  I give him a nod as I lean against the counter. “Lola did too. I had some apprehensions at first. That’s why I told her not to see him outside of work.”

  “Lo has called him her best friend for years. Jesus, what the fuck was he thinking? What would he have done to her if you hadn’t shown up?” Cas questions shaking his head. “She could have been hurt worse than she is now.”

  “She was pretty shaken up by the time I got there. Upset with herself for allowing herself to be put in that situation.” I tell him, crossing one foot over the other. “I got her back to my place and got her calmed down.

  “Kade is lucky he still has a fucking job. Hell, he’s fucking lucky that he’s still breathing,” Cas grumbles, shaking his head. “I fucking trusted that kid.”

  “Lola did too,” I tell him. “People make mistakes. We’re all human.”

  “How'd you know?”

  I give him a little shrug and run a hand through my hair. “Just a hunch to be honest. You know? A feeling.”

  “And, Lo is really okay?”

  I make a face as I glance over at him. “She’s alright, really. Shaken up, trying to work past things, but I’m taking care of her.”

  “I don’t want to see her get hurt again,” Cas tells me. “She’s been through a lot of shit in her day. Shitty mother, father passed away, horrible string of bad boyfriends. Kade seems to be the icing on the top of the shit cake.” He takes a moment to glare at me. “If you ever so much as fuck up, I will make fucking sure you never work in Cincinnati ever again.”

  “You need to watch it, Cas. I would never fucking hurt her and have no fucking intention to. If you want to give someone a new asshole, then you know where to find Kade.” I snap.

  He shakes his head and lets out a breath. “I’m sorry, but she’s like my little sister. And I know she doesn’t deserve to be treated like shit.”

  “She doesn’t and she won’t be.”

  Lola walks towards us smiling. I can tell that her conversation with Archer has been a good one. If Archer returns to work for Lola, that means she has the opportunity to fire Kade. She’ll eventually need to hire someone else, but until then, me, Cas, and Archer can keep things under control and Lola might even be able to get a day or two off a week. Now things can start looking up for her. She and I can move on with life and keep figuring each other out. Not a bad fucking plan if you ask me.

  “Dad…dy,” Lola whimpers breathlessly as I forcefully flip her body again, giving her ass another hard smack. She and I have been in the dark room for more than an hour and I have pushed her several times to her breaking point only to refuse to let her come. There’s finally no more holding back on my part as I push her face down again. With her hands bound behind her back as I slide my fingers deep into her hot pussy that's positively dripping with juices she lets loose a breathy moan. My fingers are completely saturated as I slide them in and out, moving harder and faster as I go. She lets out another cry as her pussy walls clench around my fingers. She’s already close to coming, but I’m not allowing her to just yet.

  “Did you just fucking come?” I growl, giving her ass another slap.

  “No, Daddy,” she cries, her legs tremble violently as I rub tenderly rub her ass.

  “I told you that you couldn’t come yet,” I remind her.

  “Yes, Daddy.” She moans as I shove my fingers back into the depths of her pussy.

  “Such a fucking hot little pussy,” I breathe into her. “Do you want to come for Daddy?”

  “Yes!” She screams, tilting her head back. “Yes, Daddy, please let me come!”

  “Good girl,” I say, picking up the pace on my fingers, shoving them hard and deep into her soaking wet pussy, pulling them out quickly. “Come for Daddy. Come right now.”

  It doesn’t take her long. Her body writhes with pleasure as she erupts with an intense orgasm, drenching my fingers as I slow my pace and allow her to ride it to its full extent. She pushes her face into the blankets as she pants, trying to catch her breath.

  “That’s Daddy’s good little girl. Are you Daddy’s good girl?”

  “Yes, Daddy.”

  “Yes, what?”

  “I’m your good little girl Daddy.”

  “I'm not done with you,” I tell her, grabbing her hips, pushing on her back as I waste no time shoving my rock hard cock deep inside her still quivering, drenched pussy.

  She screams as I begin fucking her hard and fast, grabbing a handful of her hair, pulling her head back as I do. She tugs at the rope making a feeble attempt to move her hands and arms that are still tightly bound behind her back. I feel her pussy walls beginning to spasm and I let out a grown. “Don’t you fucking come.”

  She whimpers as I slow my pace to a dead stop.

  “I said not to come,” I say again, “did you come?”

  She shakes her head, “No, Daddy.”

  “Good girl,” I say softly. “I love seeing you all tied up for me. I can fuck you as hard as I want…I can do anything I want to you…” I reach around, sliding a hand tenderly down her belly, stopping to let my fingertips circle around her belly button. “There’s nothing you can do to stop me…you're mine…” Her body gives another shake as my hand slips between her legs that are spread wide for me. “Such a beautiful fucking sight. Daddy’s little girl, all tied up and giving herself to me.” I draw my hand back and give her clit a little smack making her squeal. “Oh, I fucking love that noise,” I tell her giving her clit another little slap. “Do you want to come, Lola?”

  She nods, trying to catch her breath. “Yes, Dad…dy.” She whimpers as she pushes her hips against me.

  “Don’t be too eager,” I tell her, pushing her down again. “You’ll come when I say.” I grab onto her arm for leverage as I begin moving in and out of her saturated pussy once again. I’m rewarded with a noise that I love, hearing it makes me intensify my movements. I ram my cock deep into her, slamming into her harder with each thrust. I give her ass a hard little smack before grabbing onto her hip as I bury my cock inside of her. She cries out again, her body shaking, as she pushes her face into the bed. “Do you want to come, Lola?”

  “Yessss!” She hisses the last little part so beautifully as she whimpers. “Yes, Dad…dy.”

  Her pussy squeezes tightly around me as I feel her release is near. “Come for Daddy. Come all over my cock like a good little girl.”

  She doesn’t waste a single second. Her body immediately tenses as she orgasms with a violent shudder and loud scream. I reach around smacking her clit again, making the intensity grow for her as she whimpers again. I release her hair and her arm and my thrusting comes to a complete stop. She collapses on the bed for a moment, I run my fingertips down her spine making her shiver.

  I smile, pulling her up from the bed and turn her to face me. “I’m still not done with you yet. On your knees now. Against the headboard, little girl.” I grab her arms, picking her up off the bed and pushing her back against the headboard so she’s kneeling. I stand up in the bed and steady myself, as I reach for her chin making her look at me, “this beautiful fucking mouth is just another fuck hole for Daddy. Open wide.” She obeys quickly and I fill her mouth with my cock, I let out a deep
moan as she half gags on my cock. I place my hands on the back of her head and begin fucking her mouth. “That’s…a…good…girl…” My breathing is choppy, my cock throbs as I thrust hard into her warm, wet mouth, and I feel my body beginning to tense as my own orgasm nears. I let out a load groan as I give one final hard thrust. I feel my cock touch the back of her throat and I gowl as I empty my load into her throat. I reach for my cock making sure to get every last drop on her tongue, commanding her to swallow. She looks up at me with watery eyes and I immediately sit in front of her, “That’s my good girl,” I breath softly into her ear as I push her sweaty hair from her eyes. “You were so incredible princess.” I tell her softly as I move her tenderly to get her hands untied. I slowly move her arms in front of her and rub where the ropes once were. “Such a good girl,” I coo to her. She lays on her side as I pull her into my arms. “Take some deep breaths for me,” I tell her as I reach down to rub her shaking legs. She obeys, taking a deep breath and releasing it slowly. I run my fingers through her hair, resting my forehead on hers. “You were amazing, I'm so proud of you.” I whisper softly to her. “I didn’t hold back with you and you made me so proud.” I reach up and use my thumb to wipe the tears from under her eyes. She’s beautiful. Her long, dark hair is framing her face perfectly and her cheeks are glowing with a perfect shade of pink. I lean forward and press my lips to hers for a moment. She leans in and wraps her arms around me as she lets out a content sigh. “There is no way I could be prouder of you than I am now.” I tell her softly as I rub up and down her back. She pulls back, smiling at me, and I use my thumb once more to wipe any remaining tears from her eyes. “You feel alright, princess?”

  She gives me a sleepy smile and nod. “A little tired.”

  I chuckle softly as I pet her hair. “You did amazing, Lola.” I give her leg muscles another tender squeeze as the shaking begins to taper off. “I really am very proud of you. I didn’t hold back and you did beautifully for me.”

  Her cheeks begin to turn a deeper shade of pink, she looks perfect, as she sighs.
