This was apparently really going to happen. I glanced back out at Cruz again and found him staring at me with his mouth hanging slightly open, his eyes slightly worried. I glanced around at the others watching and felt a surge of relief when I only recognized Michael standing behind Cruz. I could do this. I was pretty sure I could. Almost positive. And I wanted to have the courage to try.
Jared’s hand fisted in the hair on the back of my head and pulled it back. Not hard, but it got my attention, for sure. “Are you daydreaming, pet?”
“Oh. No, I... did you ask me something?”
“I asked you to take off your clothes." He leaned in close and whispered to me. “I don’t allow these little hesitations, Connor. I’m making allowances for the fact you’re brand new to this. But next time I’ll have to correct you, do you understand? If this is too much for you, then we can end this now. You have nothing to prove to anyone.”
“Uh, I have a question.”
“Yes, pet?”
“When you say next time? Do you mean the next time we do this? Or next time, this time?”
He looked at me incredulously and shook his head. And I started to babble. “Sorry, I’m sorry. I’m not being a brat, but I didn’t understand.”
“Do you understand now?”
“Yes, I got it, Sir. Sorry.”
He sighed and shook his head. “Don’t be sorry. Just…don’t do it again.”
“Yes, Sir.”
"Do you have any physical illnesses, conditions or limitations we should be aware of?"
"N-no, Sir. I don't think so."
"Be sure."
"Okay, no. No, Sir."
“Stand up and strip off all your clothes for me.”
My eyebrows shot straight up. “Excuse me?”
Jared grinned. "Too much? I was afraid you'd say that. All right then, take off everything except your underwear. I'll let you keep that. The jacket, jeans, the shirt, your shoes and socks—you are wearing socks, right?”
“Yes, Sir.”
“All of it goes over there. Fold your clothes neatly and put them beside the chair, along with your shoes."
Damn it. Of all times to be wearing a thong. I’d wanted some Dom to see it, but not Jared. And not the small crowd that was steadily increasing in size.
I took a breath and slowly pulled down my pants. I heard a sharp intake of breath and glanced over at Jared, who was looking a little wide-eyed. And rightfully so, because with just the thong, I was practically naked. This was why it was so warm in here. Everybody was going around so naked tonight. I toed off my shoes and slipped off my socks, then folded up my pants and shirt and walked over to the chair he'd indicated to put everything down. It felt like a mile instead of just a few feet, and I knew every eye was on me and my little thong. The thong was tight, too, and showed off all my assets. But not much worse than what you'd see at the beach. Except for the fact they were also thin and kind of see through. If my dick got hard, people would be able to see pretty much everything. I looked down at myself. Oh God, they already could.
"On the cross, pet," Master Alex said as he came back over to me. I stepped up and stretched out my arms and spread my legs wide. He touched my back, running his hand down it. "Stand up straight. That's it. Perfect."
He got up and walked all the way around me, looking at me from every angle. I think my whole body blushed. I obeyed him and felt him securing the cuffs over my wrists and ankles. He was talking to me, explaining everything he did as he went, and I relaxed, knowing he knew exactly what he was doing.
His voice was soft—not too loud or harsh and as smooth as butter. I closed my eyes and my whole world became his voice and the steady sure touch of his hands. I began to drift, surprised that I could be so relaxed up here on stage with so many watching. But somehow, I wasn't aware of them anymore.
Then Jared came closer and I saw him lean in as if to check on me. "Are you okay?" he asked softly, and I nodded. Suddenly, it was just the two of us in that big room. I heard him speaking to me, telling me I was doing so well...so perfect...just right...that's it... The words slid across my skin like silk. I hadn’t realized how much I needed to hear them, especially coming from Jared.
Alex’s voice intruded then, bringing me out of my daze. "Just stay still for me like you're doing. Beautiful, pet..."
I felt the first kiss of the flogger and I blinked, aware that I had lost time for a minute there, but the first fall of the flogger brought me right back. I felt as if I had gone to sleep for a while with Jared murmuring in my ear. No, that wasn't right, because it wasn't sleep. It was more like I was dreaming while still awake. There was no way he called me beautiful, was there? Maybe he meant my actions were beautiful. Though I wasn’t doing a damn thing as far as I could tell. My arms were stretched over my head and my legs were spread uncomfortably wide. Not painfully so, or at least not yet, but like I said, it was slightly uncomfortable, and I had a feeling it would get worse before too long. I tried to move my wrists, but I couldn't.
"Still with us?" Jared asked, loud enough for everyone to hear.
