the icy hot
blaze throbbing on my ass cheeks. And the memory of his spanking swamped me in
shame.
Even as I tensed, Tony continued threading his fingers
through my mane. Gathering up my courage, I peeked up at him beneath my heavy
lashes. He stared down at me as a placid smile curled on the corners of his
mouth.
“Welcome back, angel.” His voice poured over me, deep and
smooth, like brandy.
“What happened? What did you do to me?” My question came out
a shy whisper. Still confused by the gossamer sensations swirling inside, I
struggled to clear the fog enveloping my brain.
“You took off on me for a bit.”
“Took off? To where?” A slight slur
clung to my words.
“Subspace, angel. Haven’t you ever
been there before?”
I shook my head. Tony frowned and pressed a sweet kiss to my
forehead.
“How did you like it?”
How did I like it? I
wasn’t sure. A part of me felt off kilter…but in a good way. While another part
of me felt relaxed, as if I’d taken a soothing vacation. The mud miring my
brain made processing my thoughts much slower than normal. And while I was
stone cold sober, I felt drunk off my butt.
“I’m not sure. I don’t think I’ve landed yet,” I murmured,
burrowing deeper against his chest, gazing up at him.
Other subs had talked about subspace, but I’d always thought
it was a bunch of B.S. Having finally experienced it, I understood now when
they said it was mind-blowing.
He stared into my eyes, looking pleased. I wasn’t sure if it
was with me or himself . The longer he gazed at me, the
more uncomfortable I became. Was there a proper ‘after sub-space’ etiquette I
didn’t know about? What was I supposed to say, “Thank
you, Sir; may I have another?” “Was it good for you?” The few un-mangled
thoughts I could string together seemed superficial and utterly ridiculous to
say aloud. Unsure what to do or say, I tried to pull away, but Tony held tight.
Truth be told, cocooned in his strong arms, his masculine scent filling my
senses, and surrounded in the decadent heat of his hard body felt…perfect.
My lids slid shut. Keeping them open took more effort than I
could manage. It was easy to imagine languishing in this splendor for days,
weeks, hell, even months. But the longer I lay with him, the more defined
reality became. The fog in my brain began to lift. Soon Tony would have to
leave and make his appearance in the dungeon. His throng of pain sluts waited
for the taste of agony Tony commanded from the end of his whip.
I couldn’t afford naïve fantasies about him floating through
my head. The slice of peace he’d given me wouldn’t last. And even though his
arms felt heavenly, offering him an easy out was for the best. Forcing my eyes
open, I inhaled a deep breath.
“You don’t have to stay. I’m better now, besides I’m sure
you have asses to beat and nipples to torture.”
I felt his body shake with silent laughter. Though I had no
reason to hope, I prayed he would stay a little longer. I’d yearned for the type
of comfort he was providing for four long days. I didn’t want to give it up. As
soon as the thought crossed my mind, guilt began slithering in. Was it so wrong
for me to take what I needed from another man? Wrong for me to let a sadist
launch me into subspace? That fact alone blew my mind. Me , bunny flogger-bondage girl accepted every
whack of Tony’s righteous spanking and jettisoned off to oblivion. The sense of
serenity he’d provided on my maiden voyage had been so surreal and calming. So
much so, I wanted to go there again. My cravings were bewildering. What was wrong with me?
Confused and muddled seemed to be a natural state for me
over the past four days. Being with Tony exacerbated the discombobulated
feelings within. The logical parts of me wanted to shoo him out of my room, but
the selfish empty parts of me ached for him to stay.
“I can
