It’s going to take a wild amount of caffeine to bring me fully awake today.
In retrospect, reading until two in the morning was not my wisest decision, but those who read A Court of Mist and Fury after hating the so called “romantic” lead in A Court of Thorns and Roses, will vouch for me. Certain allowance must be made.
Hoping for a more interesting weekend, but I’m not sure if that’ll happen. Last week involved a three story house converted into a bookstore, and what could possibly top that.
Oh wait, my every faithful servant discovered a new interest this week. Using the Tens Unit I bought him at the beginning of the year for back pain in a decidedly less innocent way.
Yesterday I was a bit bored, a bit annoyed, and my partner could feel it as surely as if I’d painted the words across my body for him to read. Cue a visit from my very favorite brat.
He spent the next half hour (first try with this after all) whimpering as pulse after pulse of electricity teased him for me. His hands clasped behind his head, he was to stay in that position until I deemed his punishment over. He did hold his position, straining and taut so as not to move and displease me.
At the end of the first ten minutes he was panting and quivering.
After twenty he was begging.
By the last five minutes he was babbling incoherencies mixed with my name. More a prayer than anything else.
As I peeled the electrodes off, his twitching making it a little tricky, he still held his position, knowing I’d free him exactly when I wished. Ropes and cuffs are nice and have their place, but not in that moment.
It was much later when I had another long stretch to think, I realized he’d not actually asked to move in all his begging and entreating me.
My afternoon afterwards was something of a letdown, but the day itself wasn’t bad at all, just slow.
Here’s to a weekend off to a sleepy start!
