Working It Out

by Trojan, Teri

  ‘So, are you going to tell me what that was all about?’

  ‘Not really. Andreas is one clever man. Just take it that he knows how to turn me on.’

  ‘He obviously knows what buttons to press, all right. I think every woman was feeling something just watching you.’

  ‘You’re quite right. He does know exactly the buttons to press.’ She gave a smirk. ‘You seemed to be getting on well with your chap?’

  ‘Bet your life I am. He’s gorgeous. Just my type. He wants us to spend the day together tomorrow and maybe, if I play it right, he’ll make it the night as well. Look, Shoanna. I’m not sure I shall be staying around here. Nick has asked me if I’d be interested in moving down to Essex. He needs an assistant and he’s offered me the job.’

  ‘Blimey, aren’t you rushing it a bit?’

  ‘Says she who seemed to have given herself body and soul to a man she’s only known for five minutes.’

  ‘I guess.’

  ‘But I don’t want to let you down. I’ve only just started the job and already I’m thinking of moving on.’

  ‘Don’t worry about it. Take any chance you get if it’s what you want.’

  ‘Thanks. I’ll keep you posted on progress.’

  Shoanna was thoughtful. Half an hour earlier, Andreas had amazed her by suggesting he wanted her exclusively. Now he’d engineered a meeting for Tara with someone gorgeous who just happened to want someone to work for him. Where was the man who’d told her at the beginning that he didn’t do relationships? The man who was not into anything permanent? He’d been actually very affectionate lately. He always wanted to go a lot of trouble to make sure she was happy. Was he looking to something more than a casual relationship that could end at any time? And dare she relinquish her independence and freedom for such a man as Andreas? She couldn’t see him anywhere, and wandered outside to watch people dancing.

  ‘May I have this dance?’ someone asked.

  ‘Oh Thomas, it’s you. Thank you, I’d love to.’ She glanced around to see if Andreas was watching but he was still not in sight. Thomas was a good dancer, and though it was a slow number, he led her beautifully in what was a rather old-fashioned waltz. She saw Andreas dancing with one of the ladies who had received a piece of jewellery and knew he wasn’t going to object to her dancing. Why on earth should he? Whatever he’d said, he didn’t own her completely.

  As they passed, she felt a slight throb from her nipple clamps and a slight ripple as the vibrator stirred inside her again. It stopped as quickly as it started. She realised she was out of his range. She caught the laughter in his eye and knew he was sending her a message. She licked her lips, then turned back to her partner.

  ‘You certainly seem to have something special going between you,’ he said. ‘Interesting. I can see why, but he’s never struck any of us as being loyal to just one woman. Love ’em and leave ’em seemed his usual thing. So are you going to be making a go of it? Something permanent maybe?’

  ‘I don’t know. Nothing has been said, not really.’

  ‘Well, I hope you do make it. You’re quite a pair. I suspect you are pretty evenly matched. Your display earlier was most interesting.’

  She felt herself blushing furiously.

  ‘It was highly embarrassing.’

  ‘But it all works wonderfully, doesn’t it?’

  ‘I’m sorry? What do you mean?’

  ‘I’m his chief designer. I know exactly what you’re wearing and why you keep looking the way you do. Don’t worry. Nobody else suspects. You have on the prototype. We have plans for marketing various forms of the device but Andreas assured me you’d cope with the full works. You must be one of the few women who can keep up with his demands. Don’t worry. We’re old friends and I know him very well.’

  ‘I see. I still feel embarrassed that you know so much about me and about such intimate things.’

  ‘He’ll tell you all about me too. I’m sure you have girlfriends whom you talk to.’

  ‘Strangely, we don’t talk about such details. I thought girls talked more than men but I must be wrong.’

  ‘Bear in mind my role in his business. We make a large range of sex toys. Most of the major retail outlets buy from us. You know he has a factory making fetish clothing. You have tried out some of that too.’

  ‘Is there anything you don’t know about me?’

  ‘Probably not much. I work with Mandeka a lot of the time. When Andreas began to come up with a whole lot of fresh ideas, we guessed he had someone new in his life. Someone who enjoyed sex in a variety of ways. I think I should return you to your master now.’ He brushed himself purposefully against her nipples, sending a stab of pain as her clamps moved. ‘Sorry,’ he said with a grin.

  ‘He isn’t my master. Well, not all of the time,’ she added with a laugh.

  Thomas led her to Andreas, handed her to him.

  ‘An interesting lady. You should take care of this one.’

  ‘I do indeed. All of the time, did she but know it. I take it you enjoyed dancing with her?’

  ‘Oh yes, very much. And she knows of my role in your organisation. It’s all working very well, isn’t it? I think we’re ready to go with all the devices.’

  ‘I think so. You’ve quite enjoyed your night, haven’t you?’ She glared at him.

  ‘I’m very embarrassed about some parts of it.’ She saw his hand move into his pocket and waited for the expected current to flow again. She felt suddenly exhausted. Spent. There was only so much one body could take. ‘I’m done. Sorry, but I don’t think I can cope with any more.’

  ‘Is this a submission?’

  ‘I guess it is. If you set things going again, I might just collapse.’

  Thomas laughed.

  ‘How long has she been wired up?’

  ‘Since about six-thirty.’

  ‘And it’s now one o’clock. That’s pretty good going. Remarkable. I never anticipated anyone using even a part of it for that long.’

  ‘She is remarkable. You haven’t got any idea of what she’s done to me. I’ll speak to you soon. She has wrapped me in a different way to anything we’ve already done.’

  ‘I think it’s time I left. You obviously have something to sort out. Great evening. See you tomorrow.’

  ‘Bye and thanks,’ Andreas said. He turned to Shoanna. ‘You want to give up, do you?’

  ‘’Fraid so. It’s been an amazing night. You’re quite wicked, do you know that?’

  ‘Oh, I do.’ He gave his button another press and held his arm round her waist as she began to sway, moving towards yet another series of sensations. ‘I love you, you super-sexy woman.’

  ‘What did you say?’

  ‘I think I love you. Heavens. I must be drunk. I don’t do love.’

  ‘That’s the second time tonight you’ve said something that surprised me. Keeping me exclusive? And just when I’m beginning to get known and earn some good money.’

  ‘I need some time to think. I’ve surprised myself, really. Seeing you moving so easily among people I’ve known for a long time made me realise I’ve been needing a partner. Seeing you turn to jelly in front of me and watching your face, whatever I’ve done to you or you to me. You have an amazing appetite and you never tell me I’ve gone too far.’

  ‘We have mutual needs. I enjoy being dominated. I enjoy being restricted. But I also enjoy the power I can have over men. The erotic wrestling has answered a need I didn’t even know I had. Seeing Davide and Miklos so powerless beneath me gave me such a thrill. But I need to sleep right now. Especially if we’re having a full-on day tomorrow. Are you going to undress me?’

  He carefully unclasped the diamond collar and undid the back of her dress. He pushed it down over her slender hips and kissed the back of her neck. He removed the chain from her waist and she felt him releasing what she now knew was the power pad from the base of her spine, the source of so much stimulation all evening. She gave a little shiver as moved.

  ‘Bend
forward and relax.’ She felt the butt-plug slide out and once more gave a small shiver of pleasure. He pushed her over to lie on her back and lifted her legs to rest on his shoulders. He stroked her mound gently and slowly, tugged on the chain holding the vibrator in place. She groaned as it came away and he lifted it, forgetting it was still attached to the nipple clamps. She cried out as a new pain flowed through her. ‘I’m so sorry, my darling.’ Quickly he detached the chain, leaving the delicately made clamps in place. ‘You’re looking very red. I hope I haven’t hurt you with prolonged stimulation.’

  ‘I doubt it, but I feel extremely tender.’

  ‘Then perhaps we might allow your beautiful breasts to be free of their golden tips. Speaking of which … I’m in agony here myself. Are you going to release me?’

  ‘I might make you stay like that all night. I could even try to excite you some more and leave you locked in place.’

  ‘That would be cruel.’

  ‘Hmm. It might well be. But at least you’d know what was coming, unlike me this evening.’

  ‘I wanted to surprise you.’

  ‘Oh, you did that all right.

  ‘So, what do you have in mind now? I thought you were exhausted.’

  ‘I am, but now I’m filled with new inspiration. I know the purpose of those beads tucked away in your drawer. I could enjoy pushing them into you and dragging them out very slowly.’ His eyes widened.

  ‘Go on then. Do it.’

  ‘I can’t imagine you’d stay still long enough. I think I should restrain you first.’ She took a pair of handcuffs from the drawer and ordered him to bend over the dressing table stool. She locked one hand to one ankle, putting it between the legs of the stool. She repeated the exercise with the other and locked him in place, his buttocks high in the air. She carefully fed the string of beads into his anus and he groaned as he was being filled.

  ‘Enough,’ he gasped. ‘I’m in agony.’

  ‘But I have quite a long length left. Shame to waste it.’ She pushed more, and he almost cried out but gritted his teeth. ‘Now, what is this thing?’ she said, holding up a studded leather paddle. ‘Oh, of course. I see. It’s for spanking, isn’t it?’

  Laughing, she struck his naked buttocks and watched as patches of red spread across him. She ran cool fingers over him and he wriggled part in agony, part in ecstasy. ‘Shame we haven’t got any nice cold wine left. I could bathe those red patches and lick it off.’

  ‘Do it. There’s wine in the fridge. You know there is.’

  She left him secured and went to the fridge. She pulled out the cork and poured a glass, which she sipped in front of him. Shoanna poured a dribble down his back and he shuddered as the icy liquid ran over the tender places. She leant down and licked it off.

  ‘God, that feels so good. More.’

  ‘Greedy. I thought you wanted to be let out of your chains.’

  ‘I do, but I want more of you.’ She poured more wine over him and left it lying on him for a while. When she licked it off, he cried out, ‘You’ll have to let me loose. Please.’

  ‘Beg me.’

  ‘I’m begging. I’m begging.’ She approached him once more and drew the leather pad over him again. One more slap and she relented. She unlocked the cuffs. Slowly, he tried to stand up. She clipped his hands behind his back. She saw his penis, swollen and tight in its chain mesh.

  ‘Now, where did I put the key to the padlock?’

  ‘In the drawer,’ he almost yelled.

  ‘Which drawer would that be?’ she teased.

  ‘For heaven’s sake. Have pity.’

  She found the key and slowly, very slowly, unwound the chains and dragged off the mesh pouch. His penis sprang into life and immediately a bead of semen escaped from the tip. ‘Help me. Finish the job,’ he pleaded.

  She pushed him down on the bed and straddled him. She let him slide into her tender vagina and, grimacing slightly with her own pain, rode him slowly, carefully until he came inside her.

  ‘Thank you. I’m sorry. You didn’t climax yourself.’

  ‘No, but I think I’ve done enough climaxing for one night. I’m going to shower.’

  ‘You’ll have to release my wrists. I need to shower as well.’

  She let him go and together they stood under the powerful spray, washing each other quite tenderly.

  ‘Haven’t you forgotten something?’ he asked. ‘You need to remove something.’

  ‘You could keep them there all night. You expect me to wear the nipple clamps all the time. But maybe we need to sleep now. Bend forward and I’ll pull the beads out.’ She did so as the water ran over both their bodies. He closed his eyes, feeling the erotic sensation with renewed pleasure.

  Curled together, they slept. Peaceful. Content with each other.

  Memories of the previous night seemed almost surreal to Shoanna when they finally awoke. Had she really spent a whole evening on the verge of orgasm most of the time? Had she finally had one earth-shattering climax in front of a whole roomful of people? Had he really said he loved her? What did he mean by love? What did she mean by love? Weren’t they both just a pair of thrill-seekers who could never sustain any sort of relationship that relied on such extremes all the time?

  ‘What are you thinking?’ he asked.

  ‘You said you loved me last night. Or did I imagine that?’

  ‘I did say it and I think I meant it. Seeing you so excited made me feel very tender to you. I never believed I’d ever find anyone like you. I don’t want to lose you or share you. Could you live with that?’

  ‘I think so. You’re a very beautiful man. You’re everything a girl could want but I’m not sure if I’d always be enough for you. You’ve been used to having anyone you wanted. Could I really risk it? Settling down with you, I mean.’

  ‘Can I risk it? You might want to go off with someone else one day.’

  ‘How many marriages actually stay the long course?’

  ‘Marriage?’ he almost shouted. ‘Who’s talking about marriage?’

  ‘Sorry. I thought that was what you meant.’

  ‘I’m far too scared of marriage. I’d want a contract between us. A sort of pre-nup without the nup.’

  ‘Sounds fair enough. But if I’m giving up what was about to be a lucrative career with no real security, aren’t I taking a risk?’

  ‘I’ll make a generous settlement on you. And you can buy anything you want on an unlimited card so you won’t ever need to earn money. I’d even pay you a handsome sum whenever we wrestle if it settles matters.’

  ‘Let me think about it.’

  ‘We’d be a married couple in all but name. You can wear a ring if you want to. I’ll buy you one tomorrow.’

  ‘I’m just remembering the man I met on the street that night. He wanted no ties. No strings. He was a dominant with strict rules. I was to be punished if I did anything remotely wrong. How come you changed so completely in so short a time?’

  ‘You changed me. What more could I want? I still want to be the dominant sometimes. I take great pleasure in my so-called punishing you. Just as you do in being punished. There’s nothing wrong with any of it if we both want it. I have a whole range of successful businesses, many in the sex industry, as you know. Just think of the delights that await you as we try out new ideas. You haven’t even seen half the things we can use.’

  ‘You’re selling it to me. Selling it hard. So, OK. I’m yours. I’ll give up the wrestling except with you. Tough on Tara, though. She’s only just got the job.’

  ‘I’ve sorted Tara. She’ll be happy with her new guy. I picked him out especially and he’s got the perfect job for her.’

  ‘You’ll never get your two girls wrestling match.’

  ‘We can arrange it. I suppose you’d actually like to have a ring. To show our commitment?’

  ‘I never say no to jewellery.’

  He crossed to the safe and brought out a ring box. ‘I got this one made, just in case. I’m much happier for
you to wear it. It’s the public display that we are a pair. The intimate things you wear underneath just for me, nobody else knows about.’

  ‘Except your friend Thomas.’

  ‘Except my friend Thomas. He has to know if things are working properly.’

  ‘He’ll know whenever I’m turned on, will he?’

  ‘Maybe. It all depends how much you show you’re enjoying something. He can work it out for himself. Now, what do you think of this?’ He opened the box and gave her the largest diamond she had ever seen. ‘Will this be a good enough symbol to show the world?’

  ‘Looks pretty good to me. Thank you.’

  ‘Thank you. Right, get yourself ready to be covered in paint.’

  ‘Now, there’s something we haven’t tried before. And chocolate. Cover me in chocolate and lick it off. And whipped cream. Ice cream might be interesting.’

  ‘Shut up, you insatiable woman. Don’t you ever have enough sex?’

  ‘I hope not. Do you?’

  ‘What do you think?’ He paused, as if remembering something. ‘Oh, and I’d like you to try this new device today.’

  ‘Get lost. I need a day off. Let’s go play paintball.’
