Chapter 156 Anonymous Lover:>>16

• And in that moment I understood that she had shifted the mantle of power to me. She now lay before me, utterly acquiescent, to do with as I wished - to be teased and titillated at my whim; to be carried to heights of ecstasy or to ride down long dark valleys of pain when and how I decided. The sense of power popped and fizzed though me like a narcotic, crystallizing my thoughts so that time slowed, and I could feel the thud of my heart and feel the blood coursing through my veins like a living river. My consciousness seemed to detach itself from my body to hover above the bed, ready to orchestrate what was to happen between the two players I could see there, naked and ready - the dark haired one, hesitant and tremulous, and the slim blonde crouched over her, eyes bright with excitement and lust.
• I stood quickly and gathered a few of the silk scarves that I had seen on her dresser, and I bound her to the bed, drawing the bonds firmly over her wrists, securing them with knots to the rails of the bedhead. I drew her legs up, tying her ankles to the same points so that she was bent in a 'U', her lower torso supported by a pillow, her sex completely exposed, glistening with expectation. Her eyes were filled with anticipation as she understood that she was now mine, and what that might mean. She tested the bonds but there was no give; she was helpless, the valleys and depths of her secret openings ready for me to use as I pleased.
• Leaving her there I gathered what I needed: hot water and ice from the kitchen, cotton swabs and baby oil from the bathroom. I flung open the drawers of her bedside cabinet and found the vibrators and other toys and I took them out and laid them next to her, watching her eyes on me, hooded with desire. I broke open one of the boxes I had found, and a strand of large love-beads lay nestled in the wrapping. She saw what I was doing.
