Hope's First Christmas (Brie's Submission Book 19)
Page 5
“As do I,” Sir agreed, pulling Brie closer.
“Why all the secrecy, Marquis Gray?” Brie asked.
“Think of it like a magic trick, Mrs. Davis. If you knew all the components, it would lose its full impact.”
“True,” Brie conceded, now even more curious about the evening ahead.
“When I heard they were planning this gathering, I was thrilled,” Celestia said.
“Me, too,” Kylie agreed. “I love holiday parties.”
Brie addressed the three Doms, “I’m thrilled to be here tonight celebrating with my friends and knowing that Rytsar’s recovery center is going to reap the benefits of this evening, makes it even more special.”
“I agree, babygirl,” Sir said. “However, this is not a simple gathering. I plan to challenge you tonight.”
His declaration set her heart aflutter.
The elevator opened as the first of the guests arrived for the event. After all the guests had been seated, Sir escorted Brie to their table where she found Lea, Mary, Autumn, and Tono waiting for them.
Brie was thrilled to be sitting with some of her favorite people.
“Merry Christmas everyone!”
When Brie sat down, Lea grabbed her hand and squeezed it. “I’m so excited that I get to spend tonight with you, girlfriend!”
“Me too!” Autumn agreed.
Mary shrugged. “I’m not nearly as giddy as these two lug nuts, but MC back at ya, Stinks.”
Brie grinned, happy to have Mary at the table, even if she was a little salty.
Turning her attention to the Japanese Kinbaku Master, Brie bowed her head. “Tono, it is always a joy to see you.”
His smile was gentle and kind. “I feel the same, Mrs. Davis.”
It comforted Brie to know she still had a deep connection with Tono despite the direction their lives had taken.
Marquis Gray walked to the front of the room to address the group. “We are grateful you have joined us tonight for our very first holiday gathering here at the Submissive Training Center.”
Applause followed and someone yelled, “It’s about time!”
Chuckles emanated from the crowd.
“I agree,” Marquis stated. “And if things go well tonight, we will consider doing it again next year.”
More applause followed.
“As far as the evening’s events, each sub will receive a special booklet. As you complete each task, the page will be stamped. As with all BDSM scenes, you have a choice. In this case, you can either choose to participate or watch. That is completely up to you.”
Brie’s eyes widened as she looked around the room. She realized that many of the Doms in attendance were well known for their skills…
“We would like to thank you for the generous donations received thus far. If you are particularly pleased with an activity tonight, we ask that you show your gratitude by making an additional donation in honor of the Dominant who scened with you. We have a donation box set up over here.”
He pointed to a white box covered in snowflakes and blue crystals set on a bright red stand.
“To start off our evening, we will begin with a variety of light tapas. As Master Gannon so eloquently once said, ‘It’s during meals that connections are made and cemented. We are not just a bunch of kinksters, but a true community in every sense of the word.’”
Everyone cheered.
Marquis raised his hands and servers appeared while holiday music started playing in the background.
Boa, the handsome submissive Brie had become friends with after scening with him during her training, came to each table and handed every submissive a pretty red bag with a gold drawstring.
Brie was about to open hers, but then asked Sir, “It is all right if I look at it now?”
He smiled knowingly. “You may, but had you failed to ask me, I would have spanked that pretty little ass of yours the minute you did.”
She giggled as she opened the bag.
Taking out a small booklet, she flipped through the pages and saw that each page had a different holiday theme written on it. There were over twenty in all, including ones called:
Candy Canes
Naughty or Nice
Christmas Lights
Present Tied with a Bow
Chestnuts Roasting
Carving the Goose
Whipped Cream Topping
Mistletoe Madness
While everyone enjoyed their meal, the girls discussed what they thought each one meant, much to the amusement of Sir and Tono.
Before the meal was over, Stephanie Conner walked up to speak to Sir.
“I just wanted to say how grateful I am that you chose the Tatianna Legacy Center as your charity tonight.”
“There is no need to thank us,” Sir told her. “It’s an honor to contribute to it knowing the profound difference you are making to those rescued from that life.”
Brie agreed, “You are saving lives, Stephanie.”
Mary spoke up. “I’ve seen it with my own eyes volunteering there. Your program gives the women purpose again. I cannot tell you how crucial that is.”
Brie looked at Mary with compassion.
After all the abuse Mary had suffered at her father’s hands, she understood better than Brie what these girls had endured.
“Mrs. Davis, I trust that you and the baby are doing well?” Stephanie smiled at her.
Brie nodded. “We are.”
“That’s wonderful to hear.”
But then, Brie sighed. “I’m just sad that Rytsar couldn’t be here tonight. This would have meant so much to him. I hope you know nothing could have kept him away if he hadn’t had to travel to Russia.”
Stephanie smiled warmly. “I know.”
Brie didn’t think her respect for Stephanie could grow any stronger and told her, “You are living proof of what is possible after the horrors you faced. I want you to know how deeply I admire you.”
Stephanie blushed. “No need to put me on a pedestal, Mrs. Davis. I wouldn’t be here today if it hadn’t been for Rytsar.”
Brie smiled at her. “Your success brings him great joy.”
Stephanie bowed slightly, blushing again. “I will excuse myself so you can finish your meal. I just wanted to express how much this event means to me, my staff, and the women it will help.”
As Stephanie walked away, smiling and nodding to others as she returned to her seat, Brie thought back to the night in Russia when she had seen that same girl lying broken and abused on the ground being sold to the highest bidder.
Brie closed her eyes, forcing back the tears.
Rytsar risked his life to save her…
Opening her eyes, Brie looked at Stephanie again. The fact that the young woman was such a positive force in the world spoke to her incredible inner strength and the power of the human spirit.
Shortly afterward, Sir and Tono stood up and excused themselves from the table. Before Sir left, however, he leaned down and whispered in Brie’s ear, “Save ‘Chestnuts Roasting’ for last, babygirl.”
Her heart raced as she watched Sir leave, along with many of the Doms in the room.
Lea nudged her. “Any ideas yet about what ‘Mistletoe Madness’ is?”
“I haven’t a clue, but it sure sounds fun,” she giggled and pointed to her pamphlet. “This is where I’m headed first.”
“Where’s that?” Autumn asked.
Brie showed her the page as she read it out loud, “‘Present Tied with a Bow’. The second I saw Tono leave with the others, I knew that one had to be him.”
“Wouldn’t it be fun if we all went together?” Lea grinned.
Brie loved the idea. “Oh, that would be such fun!”
“Count me out,” Mary stated. “I like the rope freak and all…” She glanced at Autumn. “…no offense. But, I’m set on ‘Carving the Goose’.”
While they were talking amongst themselves, Boa stood up to address the entire group as a whole. “As you can see, the M
“If you choose to scene tonight, we have a clothing check in the first room down the hall on the left.”
Someone raised their hand. “None of these are labeled in the booklet. How do we know where to go?”
Boa smiled. “That’s part of the challenge.”
“It’s like a giant scavenger hunt!” Brie grinned.
Another person raised their hand. “Is it possible to complete them all?”
Boa chuckled. “No, there won’t be enough time. But, listen for the bell. It will announce that the sessions will be ending soon and you should have time for one more.”
“Please meet back here when you are finished. We have something very special planned to end our evening tonight.”
Brie smiled down at her booklet wondering how many she could get through before she met up with Sir for the final bell.
Holiday Scenes
The four girls headed to the Clothes Check Room and Brie, Lea, and Mary immediately stripped down to their underwear without giving it a second thought. Having trained together at this facility, they were used to seeing each other’s bodies.
“Oh, look at your adorable underwear! Lea cried as Brie shimmed out of her red dress.
“Thanks! Sir bought them for me,” Brie told her, turning to Lea. She immediately burst out in giggles when she saw what Lea was wearing.
Lea grinned, sticking out her chest to show off her bra. Each cup had Rudolf’s face, complete with a red nose, big brown eyes, and antlers.
“You want to rub Rudolf’s nose for good luck?” Lea joked.
“Oh, Lord, you two,” Mary grumbled. “You’re like little kids.”
Mary was wearing a very expensive black satin panty set.
Although Autumn was shy about undressing, she followed suit, removing her dress which exposed her artificial leg. Brie smiled to herself, grateful that Autumn didn’t show any signs of discomfort or embarrassment even though she was among a bunch of strangers at the Training Center. She’d changed a lot under Tono’s care.
When Mary saw Autumn’s cute panty set with red velvet and furry white accents, she rolled her eyes. “I wouldn’t be caught dead in Christmas lingerie.”
“Why not?” Autumn asked with a smirk.
“You really need to get into the holiday spirit,” Lea said, grabbing Brie and Autumn as she swung her hips from side to side, bumping them playfully. “Do you know why Santa is so freaking jolly?”
Mary frowned, knowing a joke was coming.
“Because he knows where all the naughty girls live!”
Brie giggled when she saw Mary’s frown deepen.
Autumn giggled at Lea’s joke and then asked, “What do you call Santa’s helpers?”
“Eep!” Lea squeaked, excited that Autumn was jumping in with a joke. “Tell me, tell me!”
“Subordinate clauses.”
Lea and Autumn broke into hysterical laughter while Brie gave Mary an amused look.
“And…I’m out,” Mary announced, turning away from them and walking down the hallway, looking absolutely stunning in her sexy black underwear and red heels.
“Poor Mary. She tries so hard to pretend she hates my jokes.”
Pointing at Lea, Brie laughed. “That, right there, is your best joke yet, Lea.”
“Giiiirl…I will pretend you did not just say that,” Lea teased, giving Brie a nudge.
“I think we’d better find Tono before everybody else does,” Autumn stated when she saw all the other submissives heading out.
Brie took off her high heels, holding them in one hand. “Fastest way to get there is without shoes.”
The other two removed theirs and the three took off down the hall, giggling the entire way. All the doors of the school were closed, but scattered throughout were signs on certain ones with one of the names of the Christmas themes.
Brie made a mental note of the ones she wanted to try next as they ran past them. Naturally, the room “Present Tied with a Bow” was on the far end of the school.
Luckily, they found they were the first ones there when they burst into the room. Their giggling instantly stopped when they stepped inside. The lights of the room were turned down low, but playful white Christmas lights lined the edge of the ceiling. In the center was a large jute mat with bundles of ropes in green and red laid out in a row. From the ceiling hung a large, multicolored metal ring that reflected the light from the white lights, making it glow like a star.
To top it off, the room was filled with the sound of Tono’s familiar flute music, but for a fun twist, the melody was a simple Christmas song.
Autumn giggled. “Tono, I can’t believe you pulled this off without me suspecting a thing.”
Tono smiled at her. “It was difficult to keep it a secret from you. However, it was worth it to see the surprise on your face when you walked in.”
Brie smiled at Tono. “I love what you’ve done to this room!”
“I’m glad,” he answered, his chocolate brown eyes twinkling with pleasure.
Breathing in the peace Tono inspired, Brie let out a contented sigh. Just being in his presence was a gift.
“Since the three of you came together, would you like me to tie you at the same time or separately?”
Brie remembered the sexy birthday present that Lea had given her when they’d shared in a scene with the Kinbaku Master. Without hesitation, she answered, “All together.”
Both Lea and Autumn chimed in with their enthusiastic agreement.
“Excellent. Place your shoes by the door and join me on the mat.”
Once Brie made her way over to the jute mat, Tono began tying a simple chest harness using the red rope. Brie smiled as the rope slid across her skin, tickling her.
Chest harnesses were fun and beautiful. The tight constriction reminded Brie of a corset, and the way it enhanced the breasts was lovely.
Once each of them was similarly bound, Tono commanded, “Form a triangle by touching your shoulders together while facing away from each other.”
Brie was intrigued as she stood facing Tono, her left shoulder pressing against Lea and her right against Autumn.
“Now, to create the vision while you use each other as support,” Tono said, kneeling down at Brie’s feet. He took her right leg and lifted it, pressing her ankle against her left knee and securing it in place with green rope.
Standing as they were, she was able to balance by leaning against the other two girls. He then moved to Autumn and did the same, carefully tying her ankle against her artificial leg. After finishing with Lea, he went back to Brie and told her to lift her arms up.
Tono started the process of securing her wrists together, their bodies mere inches from each other as he bound her wrists. The Kinbaku Master purposely teased her skin with the rope as he worked.
His close proximately made it easy for Brie to sync her breathing with his and, as soon as she found his rhythm and matched it, he paused what he was doing to smile at her.
There was no one in the world as skilled with jute as he was, and Brie silently thanked Sir for giving her, and all of the other submissives, this special gift.
Tono took the green rope that bound her wrists and slipped it through the ring above, pulling it tight to lift her hands high above her head.
“Beautiful,” he commented once he’d finished and stood back to look at her.
Moving to Autumn, he took his time as he bound his submissive with the green rope, tying her in the same position as Brie.
Brie could see his smile as he picked up the rope for Lea and commanded her to lift her arms. There had been a time when Lea had served under Tono as his temporary submissive. Each of them had a special connection to Tono Nosaka, as well as to each other, which made their scene more intimate and fun.
After he was done, Tono walked around them and made slight adjustments while he admired the simple beauty he had created with their bodies and his jute.
Taking out his phone, Tono made a short video as he walked around them again. “I want you each to know how beautiful you look connected together.”
A submissive entered the room and immediately bowed her head. “I’m sorry for disturbing you, Tono Nosaka. Should I leave?”
He stopped recording and smiled at her. “No, stay. We are almost done here.”
With efficient yet sensual movements, Tono untied each of them, starting with Autumn and ending with Brie.
“Thank you, Tono,” Brie said, bowing to him once she was free of his rope.
“It is always good to reconnect with you, toriko.”
Her smile broadened. “I feel the same, Tono.”
He stamped each of their booklets with their first stamp—a red orchid.
Before they left, he cupped Autumn’s chin in his hand and gave her a tender kiss. “Have a good time tonight, kohana.”
Brie’s heart melted witnessing the love between Master and sub.
Another submissive entered the room just after Brie picked up her shoes to leave. Brie joined her friends in the hallway and said, “Something tells me Tono is going to be very busy tonight.”
“There’s no doubt about it,” Lea said, laughing from the natural high his bondage had evoked.
“I agree,” Autumn answered, giggling, “but he truly loves what he does.”
Brie nodded, smiling so hard it almost hurt. “That was the perfect way to start off this evening.”
“Where to next?” Lea asked.
“Why not ‘Mistletoe Madness’ for Lea?” Autumn suggested. “I saw it on our way here and it’s not too far.”
“Sounds like a plan,” Brie agreed.
“You know, I’ve been dying to find out what it is…!” Lea exclaimed as she started running toward the room. “The faster we get there, the more sessions we can cram in.”
Lea beat them to the door and opened it for them. “Brains before boobs,” she said as they entered.
Brie tweaked Rudolf’s nose as she passed by.
