“Jesus.” He moved behind her and said into her other ear, “If I move your body in a specific way, hold it there. I don’t like to talk much when I’m working, but if it’ll make you more comfortable, I’ll explain everything as I’m doing it.”
She forced down a swallow and nodded. “I…I don’t believe you want to hurt me. I think you’ll do what you can to make sure I’m taken care of.”
“Too bad the same can’t be said for you regarding taking care ofme.”
“Tim—”
“We’ll talk about it later. And wewilltalk about it. Perhaps it’s time we cleared the air.” He tucked the doubled-over rope beneath her wrists.
“I think Tim’s doing a beginner’s knot for y’all,” Clay said. “Notice he’s not looping the rope between the wrists and is tying off right in front. This is pretty basic. If you want to restrict your partner’s arms behind their back, that’s a good knot to start with. If they’re squirmy, though, and you need them to keep their hands still, you need also secure their arms to their torso to pin them.
Tim undid the rope, rubbed Valerie’s wrists, and adjusted her arms so the back of one hand pressed high up on her spine and against her bra strap. He made her hold onto her forearm with the other hand.
“Is that uncomfortable?” Tim whispered.
“There’s a pull in my right shoulder when I turn my wrist like that, but it doesn’t hurt.”
Yet.
She didn’t say it, but she really didn’t need to. He would have known better than anyone that adding the pressure of rope would increase the discomfort for a while, at least.
“With her arms secured in this position, Valerie’s upper body is completely secured. She can’t touch herself, can’t touch Tim, and she’s now more reliant on him for balance, should he need to move her, and also to have specific needs and wants met. If she wants something, she’s going to have to depend on Tim to give it to her…assuming he sees fit to do so. Sometimes, bondage is about control. Other times, it’s about comfort. Some people feel like the rope is hugging them and they imagine that’s their partner.”
Tim tightened the ropes around her biceps and pulled her shoulders back a bit when he secured the knot. “Use that word if you need to,” he said.
“I’m fine.” The burn between her shoulder blades was annoying, but she’d endured worse—back when she didn’t know she wasn’t supposed to.
He pushed up an eyebrow but kept working.
“Sometimes, rope is used to satisfy a dominant’s visual cravings. Maybe he wants his partner to thrust out her breasts or arch her back in a certain way,” Clay said. He looked to Tim, who Valerie saw shaking his head in her periphery.
“No? All right. Sorry, folks. No titty show today.”
The peanut gallery snickered.
“And sometimes, the rope is just a reminder to a submissive that it’s time to be serious and that until her dom unties those knots, she needs to be in that headspace where she’s letting him control the situation and isn’t involuntarily trying to preempt or subvert him.”
Tim grabbed a knot behind her back and gave it the slightest tug downward.
Valerie knelt.
He tapped one knee and then the other, and she spread them.
Then he touched her chin, and she knelt up.
She wasn’t doing a very good job of pretending she didn’t know what she was doing, but she simply couldn’t resist him. She wanted to make Tim lookgood, not that that was such a chore.
Finally, he walked around and put his hands to her waist to help her stand.
He started tugging at his knots, and the tension in her shoulders began receding as Clay started talking again.
“Of course, there are other uses for rope. As far as I know, we don’t have anyone here who does suspensions, but naturally, a submissive would be bound for that. You could also use bondage in conjunction with other aspects of BDSM such as flogging, scarification, and all sorts of teasing I’m sure Valerie wouldn’t like to demonstrate in public.”
He looked at her.
Since the demonstration was over, she narrowed her eyes at him.
“Okay. Just making sure. I never like leaving any opportunity for kink on the table.”
