Gabriele fell silent at last, shivering with the cold, and deeply shaken by her fear and her anguish. Joshua seized her by the shoulders and fixed her with the steel of his gaze.
“That woman you saw in the restaurant tonight was an old student of mine,” Joshua explained. “I trained her to submit over a year ago. She approached me at the restaurant to thank me, Gabriele. Nothing more than that. She has a Master. She was dining with him in the restaurant. She came to our table to thank me for connecting her to the man she serves.”
Gabriele was frowning, but also slowly shaking her head. “I saw her give you her hotel room key…”
A small smile tugged at the corner of Joshua’s mouth. “No, you saw her give me her Master’s business card. He works as a broker for a big Wall Street firm. He wanted to do some business.”
Gabriele bit on her bottom lip. “But there will be other women, Joshua.”
“No,” he shook his head. “There won’t. I told that woman the same thing I wanted to tell you over dinner. I’m done with training submissives, Gabriele. I’m retiring. There will not be any more women – ever.”
“You were going to tell me that?” Gabriele’s voice was as small as an innocent child’s.
“If you had come back to the table,” Joshua’s smile widened a little.
“Why?”
“So you and I might… might have that chance you want so much, Gabriele,” Joshua said the words. “So that we can have the time to find out if what I feel for you is enough for us to build a future on.”
Gabriele choked back a last sob, and swallowed hard. She sniffed, and then scraped her hand through her hair. Her eyes were huge; her face a smudged mask of make-up that glowed from beneath with a glimmer of hope.
“Really?”
“Really,” Joshua promised her.
He took her in his arms, and she went willingly. Gabriele’s body seemed to melt against Joshua’s chest, and her arms went around the back of his neck with a passion and ferocity that promised she would never let him go. Joshua hugged her back, feeling the heat of her through the damp clinging clothes. She was shivering like a frightened baby animal. He kissed her lips and they were cold with the rain and made salty by all her tears.
“Do you want to become my submissive?” Joshua looked deeply into Gabriele’s eyes.
She sobbed and then choked on her relief. “With all my heart,” Gabriele vowed. “I want that more than anything else in the world.”
Joshua took Gabriele back to the car and then returned to the restaurant just long enough to settle the bill, and to collect the small wrapped parcel he had left on the table. When he got back to the underground parking garage, the windows of the sports car were fogged from the cold and damp of Gabriele’s clothes.
“I’m taking you home,” Joshua said as he settled himself behind the steering wheel. “Tomorrow I’ll phone a moving company, and instruct them to clean out your apartment. You’re going to live with me from now on.”
Gabriele’s eyes were soulful, brimming with deep and burning devotion. “Yes, Master!” she said.
Chapter 13:
Gabriele knelt naked in the training room, and she could not stop herself from trembling. She was not cold; she had chased away the chill of the rain and her soaked clothes. And she was not scared; she had found that place in her mind where submission was pure peace.
She was nervous and excited.
Joshua stood before her, holding a small parcel wrapped in paper. He held it in both hands, somehow making it seem more precious; more valuable.
Gabriele looked up into his face and saw the solemn expression in his eyes.
She was warm and she was wet. Her nipples were naturally hard because she seemed in a permanent state of arousal. And she was wet between her thighs because that arousal had become a deep, desperate state of craving and hunger for Joshua’s cock.
“This is a gift for you,” Joshua said gravely. “It is a reward, and it is an offer. Open it.”
He handed the parcel to Gabriele. She shed the wrapping carefully to reveal a slim box, the same shape as a paperback novel. Gabriele slowly lifted the lid and saw a slim black leather collar sitting on a bed of white silk. With reverence, she took the collar from the jewelry box and caressed it with her fingers.
The collar was half-an-inch thick and made of soft glossy black leather. It felt like velvet in the palm of her hand. Fastened to the collar, near the buckle, was a shiny silver ring.
She was struck by the simple elegance of the piece, but also the profound significance of what it represented. It was the greatest of all prizes – a reward as valuable as a king’s treasure.
“By accepting this collar, you are accepting me as your Master, along with all the terms and conditions of your obedience,” Joshua cautioned her. There were brimming tears of happiness in Gabriele’s eyes. She let them cascade down her silken cheeks. “Once it is fastened around your neck, you will be binding your self to me in every aspect; mind, body and soul. Do you understand that?”
“Yes, Master,” Gabriele said softly. She licked her lips. She could taste her own tears.
“As my submissive you will be expected to be devoted and obedient to me at all times. Do you accept that?”
“Yes, Master.”
“And you will be expected to follow my every instruction without question or hesitation. I’m giving you this collar to claim you as my property, but in return you must give to me your trust for the maintenance of your welfare and wellbeing.”
“I understand, Master.”
“As my submissive you will be used for my sexual pleasure and you will be expected to engage in serious study in the art of pleasing a man. I will use you at any time I so desire, and you will keep yourself in a state of readiness and preparedness. You must be completely available to me to use for my satisfaction when I order it so. From now on you will also dress and behave in a manner I expect from you. I will choose your clothes and undergarments.”
“Yes, Master.”
“You will also be expected to resign from your work and serve me in our home full-time. The work you do is unworthy of you. Instead you will dedicate your free time to education. I will pay for all university studies. You may choose any path that is your passion.”
“Quit my job?” Gabriele looked momentarily alarmed.
Joshua arched a quizzical eyebrow. “Do you like the work you do?”
“No,” Gabriele said sourly. “I hate it with a passion, but…”
“From now on, I will pay for all your needs, and you will live here with me. You will have your own room and only share my bed when I want you for my sexual pleasure. If you have a passion, you will be able to pursue it.”
Gabriele nodded. The prospect of quitting her work at the accounting firm and pursing a university degree thrilled her on an entirely new level. “I understand, Master.”
“But do you agree and accept every one of my conditions?”
“Yes, Master.” Gabriele smiled through the mist of joyous tears. “I accept it all.”
“Very well,” Joshua wanted to smile his own pleasure, but the ceremony was not yet concluded. He stepped forward and took the collar from Gabriele’s hands. “Bow your head.”
Joshua wrapped the collar around Gabriele’s neck and fastened the buckle so that it sat loosely around her throat. “You are my submissive,” he said. “And by collaring you, I take you as my property to care for and protect, to train and instruct. Those things are my pledge to you.”
With the collar around her neck, Gabriele felt uplifted by a sense of spiritual satisfaction that swelled and resonated from somewhere deep in her soul. A quiet calm wrapped around her.
Serenity.
At last Gabriele felt she had found a sense of place and purpose. The path of submission that stretched ahead filled her with daunting trepidation, but also excitement.
“Stand,” Joshua said.
Gabriele came to her feet. She spread her legs, clasped her h
ands behind her back and lowered her eyes. Joshua came to her and brushed the back of his hand across one of her breasts. A jolt of electricity made Gabriele flinch and gasp. Her nipples ached.
Joshua circled Gabriele until he was standing close behind her. He ran his hungry eyes up her legs, across the tight clenched mounds of her butt, and the inviting gap between her thighs. Then his gaze drifted up the small of her back, following the faint ridges of her spine through her flesh, until he was staring at her neck. Gabriele’s hair hung over one shoulder so he could see the black band of the collar about her throat. He leaned close, inhaling the floral scent of her body, and then kissed the soft flesh just below her ear.
Gabriele felt herself melt. Her mouth fell open and a gasp escaped her lips.
“It is the custom for the Master and his submissive to share their first night together as merely man and woman,” Joshua made up the tale as he was going. “That means we get this one night together before you begin serving and obeying me tomorrow morning. It’s going to be your first and only chance to be unrestrained…” he let that thought bloom in Gabriele’s frenzied imagination before he continued. “So I suggest we make the most of it.”
Gabriele nodded eagerly, then stopped herself. She turned to Joshua, her expression bereft. “But I’m being punished…” she said. “You won’t let me cum.”
Joshua winked. “My submissive is very definitely punished,” the look on his face turned wolfish and sexy. “But you’re not that woman until tomorrow.”
They went together into the bedroom, and Joshua perched himself on the edge of the mattress with Gabriele still standing naked beside him. She was tingling with the wild thrill of anticipation. Every piece of her body that Joshua touched caught fire.
He drew her to him and kissed the flat of her stomach. Gabriele had her weight on one leg, and her other knee slightly raised. Joshua pressed his lips to her abdomen and then kissed his way around to her hip. One of his hands went deftly between her legs as she turned and swayed her body for him to give him access. Gabriele clawed her fingers into Joshua’s hair to hold him against her. Joshua’s lips were hot and hungry.
When his kissed dropped to her thigh, she gasped and clenched her teeth in a shudder of delicious delight. His mouth was just inches away from her pussy, and her hands in his hair became frantic. She turned again for him to steer his mouth towards the aching core of her sex, and then ran the palm of her hand across her own breast. She trapped the nipple between her own fingers and groaned. Joshua’s hand between her legs found the hot dampness of her pussy, and he rubbed his fingers across the slick juices, teasing her but never dipping his touch deep inside where she wanted it.
Gabriele licked her lips and shuffled her feet even wider. She was writhing and undulating her body like a model, displaying herself for him and inviting his touch. Joshua came to his feet and sucked her breasts. His mouth was everywhere – never settling in any one place for long. Only his fingers between Gabriele’s legs were a constant.
She groaned and cupped her breast, presenting it to him like it was a gift. Joshua licked the nipple, then sucked her warm flesh deep into his mouth. Gabriele felt her lower body flood with new warmth.
“Yes!” she gasped. She threw back her head, and her hair cascaded over her shoulder like a shimmering black veil. Her eyes were fixed to the ceiling, her mind a turmoil of hunger and white-hot wanting. Joshua was devouring her with his mouth.
He guided her onto the bed and Gabriele rolled instinctively onto her back, spreading her legs wide and reaching up for him. Joshua knelt beside her and covered her mouth with his in a long sizzling kiss that seemed to last an eternity. His tongue flicked between her lips, and she sucked on it hungrily while one hand reached for the back of his head, and her free hand groped along his thigh in search of Joshua’s cock. He had his hand back between her legs again, driving Gabriele to a frenzy. Her kisses became more passionate and more desperate. Joshua teased the wet lips of her pussy apart with the tip of his finger and Gabriele arched her back and then raised her hips off the bed. She was sobbing for breath between kisses, panting and groaning on the brink of madness.
“Please!” she croaked. “Oh, God, please!”
Her hand had found Joshua’s cock. She rubbed his crotch through the material of his pants. He was already hard. Gabriele wanted him in her mouth but she was helpless on her back, pinned by Joshua’s hand that mercilessly teased her.
At last he pressed a finger deep inside her and her eyes flew open and her mouth gaped for more breath. Her pussy went into a series of frenetic spasms. The dam of her seeping juices broke, and a warm rush of her wet desire coated Joshua’s palm.
“Oh, God!” Gabriele gasped again. She stirred her hips to push Joshua’s pressing finger against those parts deep inside her that ached the most, and let the hand that was guiding his head fall to her side. Joshua’s kisses broke from her lips and chased a thrill down her throat.
“I need you inside me,” Gabriele’s voice was hoarse. “I’ve waited for so long.”
Joshua slipped his finger from her pussy and held it to her lips. Gabriele sucked at the taste of herself greedily and then rolled onto her side, sharing the sweetness of herself with Joshua in another lingering kiss, while her hands determinedly reached for the buckle of his pants. Joshua went with the momentum of her until he was lying on his back.
Gabriele pounced on him.
With her long legs splayed, she crouched over Joshua like he was prey for her to feast upon. She tore at the buttons of his shirt, and they flew like confetti across the room. Her mouth traced wet lines over his chest while her fingers tugged at his zipper. As soon as his cock was free, she hunted it with her lips, drawing his cock deep into her throat and bathing it in the warm wetness of her mouth.
Gabriele sucked him like she was ravenous. One hand gently cupped the heavy weight of his balls while the other grabbed the base of his cock, pointing it into her open mouth like it was a weapon to be aimed. She swirled her tongue across the swollen head and then took his as deeply as she could. When her eyes began to water and she could feel him nudging against the back of her throat, she eased her mouth away reluctantly, gasping for breath and panting for more.
Joshua had his eyes shut, breathing deeply. With one of his hands he found Gabriele’s thigh and he followed the warm firm flesh of her until he sensed the heat of her pussy. He felt for it, found it – and rubbed Gabriele’s clit with his thumb while her head bobbed up and down relentlessly on his cock.
Gabriele felt a familiar glow begin to spread through her body, like the first smoky tendrils of something that would soon become a raging furnace. She didn’t want to waste the orgasm.
Impulsively she moved, straddling Joshua with her thighs and then reaching back to rub the glistening bulb of his cock along the wetness of her slit. She was teasing herself. Joshua’s cock was a hard iron bar in her hand. She drew a deep breath and bit down on her lip. She fixed Joshua with a look of sheer sizzling lust… and then took the first inch of him inside herself.
“Oooooh!” she groaned. It was a sound of pure desire, drawn from somewhere so deep inside herself that it sounded on her lips like a low throaty moan. She felt her toes curl and her whole body tense. Joshua lay very still beneath her. Gabriele felt another inch of him slide inside her pussy; delicately balancing herself to adjust to the thickness that felt like it was tearing her asunder and setting her on fire.
She closed her eyes and set her jaw determinedly. She had her hands flat on Joshua’s chest now; her breasts hanging for his touch while she lowered herself tentatively further onto his cock. Joshua was touching places inside of her that Gabriele had never known existed – never known could be so sensitive to the filling pressure of such a long thick cock. Every new inch of his length inside of her brought Gabriele fresh wonder and closer to an orgasm that felt like swelling pressure in the pit of her stomach.
When she had most of his hardness inside herself, she threw back her head
and groaned. Joshua was squeezing her breasts. The base of his cock was coated in the juices of Gabriele’s sex. He saw the blissful look on her face, and it looked to him like she was floating on a cloud of astonishment. He clenched his muscles, and his cock flexed inside her. Gabriele’s eyes flashed wide open and her lips parted in new awe.
“Do that again!” she begged.
Joshua clenched himself once more, and inside her pussy, the length of his cock swelled and pushed against the inner walls of Gabriele’s body. She swayed on his cock and then let herself fall forward so her breasts were crushed against Joshua’s chest. Joshua wrapped his arms around her, tightening his grip until it felt to Gabriele that she was clamped in the warm embrace of a vice. Joshua kissed her deeply, and Gabriele moaned helplessly into his mouth.
Then Joshua bucked his hips and Gabriele went stiff in the sudden moment he drove all the way inside her. She felt pleasantly impaled as though she were skewered to Joshua for all eternity. He bucked again and she felt his heavy balls slap against her. She started breathing in short ragged pants. Joshua dug his heels into the mattress and thrust himself into her again and again. Gabriele began to whimper, but it turned into a wail of raw sexual ecstasy as the orgasm that had burned in her body for so long suddenly erupted in a thrashing, flailing explosion. She cried out at the top of her lungs; her eyes wide and uncomprehending. The muscles in her neck strained like steel rods. Her whole back arched as she stared unseeing at the head of the bed… and then everything began to collapse in upon itself and she felt herself falling; falling into a deep dark void that was a pleasure unlike anything she had ever known before.
Joshua waited patiently as Gabriele lay, languid and satiated over him, her breathing deep and relaxed, her body still shuddering through the tingling after-effects of her release. He was still hard and in need. Gabriele seemed to come alert like she was waking from a deep blissful dream. She moved in his arms, suddenly pliant. Joshua rolled her onto her back, still with his cock deep inside her.
