I let my eyes open slowly and as I expected, there's nothing to see. The cloth has completely cut off my vision. I'm disappointed when I realize, I can't even peer out of the bottom. This is no regular sleep mask. It hugs the curves of my face perfectly.
"Before we begin, I need to know that you're okay."
I don't respond immediately. Instead, I do a mental analysis. Though my wrists are still bound behind me, there's no shoulder or back discomfort. The heels I've been wearing have caused my feet to ache slightly, but not enough to bring up.
Despite being completely out of my element and nervous about what's ahead, I realize, I feel amazing. Even though I'm cuffed, blind folded, and there are mystery things in my ears, I've never felt more free.
I let myself sway in place, "I feel so good."
He lets out a breath I hadn't realized he'd been holding. "You're so fucking amazing."
I feel his arms pull me into a warm embrace as he whispers into my ear, "But, I'm still going to teach you a lesson"
Before I can react, he scoops me up and starts walking.
(Short morning add-on!)
