“’Kay,” she sighed.
“If anyone would like to take a closer look, you’re welcome to, as long as you do not touch the ropes or my bunny.”
Several of the Tops stepped closer, each careful to keep their hands well away from Mallory and the ropes wrapped around her. Once they stepped away, his gaze swept the crowd. “Anyone have any questions?”
A few raised their hands and he quickly answered them before he said, “If anyone has any further questions, we’ll be around. For now, I’ve got to get Mallory out of these bonds.”
That earned another round of chuckles before the crowd slowly dissipated.
“Need some help?” One of the Dominants who had examined Mallory from every angle asked from a few feet away.
Fletcher thought for a moment as he untied the knots. “If you could unwind her legs while I undo the corset that would be great.
“Sure thing.”
The man quickly untied the black rope while Fletcher went to work on the more complicated red one. Together they had Mallory free in just a few minutes.
Fletcher stood in front of her, ready to catch her when the other man released her cuffs from the hooks holding her to the cross. As expected, Mallory’s knees collapsed, unable to hold her weight.
“Master?” she asked as he swept her into his arms bridal style.
“I’ve got you, bunny. Just relax,” Fletcher said as he carried her to the nearest couch and sat down with her.
“Is it over?” her slurred speech proved she was still flying in subspace.
“Yes, sweet bunny, it’s over. And you did perfectly.”
“Why is it so dark?”
Fletcher chuckled as he pulled off the mask. “Is that better?” Tilting his head, he watched as she blinked against the light now that she was no longer blindfolded.
She turned her head to look up at him with what could only be an endorphin drunken smile. “Hi.”
“Hi. Can you stay here while I go clean up the station?”
“Okie dokie,” she said, her head flopping down on his chest, proving she was not quite back in her body.
Before he could work his way out from under her, Payne appeared with a blanket that he handed to him.
“No need, Sir, as that’s my job,” Payne said.
“Thank you,” Fletcher said as he opened it and wrapped it around Mallory.
“My pleasure, Sir, and may I add, that was quite a breathtaking scene,” the service submissive said as he held out a bottle of water. “With your permission, Sir, I’d like to let Mallory know she’s not only an incredible artist, she also makes a beautiful rope bunny.”
Fletcher’s smile matched Mallory’s as she turned back to look up at him. “May I answer, Master?”
“Yes, bunny, you may.”
“Thank you, Payne,” Mallory said. “It was a bit scary at first, but it was incredible as well if that makes any sense.”
“It absolutely does,” Payne said, his smile reaching all the way to his eyes, making them twinkle. “Oh, and I brought you this.”
Mallory’s squeal of delight had Fletcher wondering if her smile widened because of her fellow service sub’s compliment on her talent and the scene, or if it was due to the fact Payne had just offered her the biggest bar of chocolate Fletcher had ever laid eyes on. Deciding either was just fine, Fletcher nodded for her to accept the treat and when she then handed the candy to him, he peeled back the wrapper and broke off a piece, placing it on her tongue when she instantly opened her mouth.
“Both a bunny and a baby bird,” he quipped as he watched her eyes close in intense pleasure. By the time he looked back, Payne had quietly disappeared and the man who’d helped him untie his bunny was approaching with the ropes bundled together.
“I figured you needed time for aftercare,” he said, laying the ropes on the floor at Fletcher’s feet.
