It was okay to fall for someone, to harbor a secret crush. It was okay to find new interests.

Even if those new interests cause you to get hurt? Both physically and emotionally?

I was meeting with Fort again in a week, but I still hadn’t processed everything I felt. Well, except that I wanted another session, and I hoped it would be even more transformative than the first.

Chapter Fifteen: Fort

Ithought ofJuliet often, but it was good to wait a week between our sado-masochistic sessions. It gave her body time to heal, and gave me time to step back and recuperate from the way she aroused me. It allowed me to focus on work, to hold meetings and send emails, and accomplish what I needed to do. It also gave me time to plan for Juliet’s future sessions.

The only thing it didn’t allow me to do was keep up with my friends and partners at The Gallery. Why had I chosen Saturday nights for our sessions, considering it was the only night of the week that The Gallery was open?

Because Juliet’s different. She’s exciting, and you needed a change from the status quo.

I texted my budding masochist Friday night after I finished dinner.

Good evening, Sparkles. Just checking in. Will I see you tomorrow?

It was the first communication between us since I’d kissed her goodbye and walked her to my door last Saturday night.

Yes, she typed a few minutes later.I’m planning to come. Will you send a car around at the same time?

Yes, I typed, and that was really all I needed to say, but I kept going, picturing her texting with me while propped against her pillows.Has your ass healed?I asked.

She sent two blushing emojis.I’ve looked at it every day. The welts are mostly faded, shadows now. I’m good as new. Almost.

Almost?

I still feel the marks a little, like ghosts.

A pause, then I typed,Haunted by a sadist.

Something like that.

I pictured her looking over her shoulder with her back to the mirror, inspecting the marks I’d put on her. Was she disappointed when they started to fade? I leaned back on my couch, putting my feet up.

Are you ready to go further this time? You seemed to enjoy yourself last time.

I did.A pause.Are you going to try to get me into subspace?

I’m going to try to break you. Agonize you. Make you lose your mind.

Why? You’ll be stuck with a crazy submissive.

I laughed at her literal reasoning. So Juliet. Her hair was probably down. She was probably twisting it around her fingers when she wasn’t typing to me. Or maybe her fingers were between her legs. Maybe she had on some of those socks…

You’ll be bound, I typed after a moment.So even if you go crazy, you won’t be able to do much damage. I’ll probably fuck you extra hard to drive that point home.

Oh God. That sounds intense. What are you saving for session three?

I’ll figure that out.I started to type something, then stopped, then typed it anyway.Maybe we could go to The Gallery, if that still interests you.

The Gallery? Your private club?

Yet.I corrected the typo.Yes.

Why wouldn’t it interest me?

I didn’t answer for a long time, because I didn’t know how she’d react to what I was about to say.
