tone,
“when I feel like you don’t trust me.”
    He finally turned to face her, his brown eyes unfathomable
in the dimly lit room.
    “I’m willing to give you everything, Derek. I want to
give you everything. I just need to know that you’re doing the same for me.”
    Finally he moved closer, so close that the satiny cotton of
his shirt brushed against her bare skin.
    “I love you, Elise,” he said, looking steadily into her
eyes. “I love you enough to do anything, to give up anything, in order to be
with you.”
    “That’s just the thing, Derek. I don’t want you to give
anything up.”
    His hand rose to cup her chin again—this time his grip was
gentle. “I guess we’ve both got a learning curve here, baby,” he finally said.
He dipped his head and pressed a sweet, almost chaste kiss to her lips and
Elise felt a rush of relief so overwhelming that she might have fallen if it
hadn’t been for the cuffs securing her hands to the bar.
    Pulling back with an edgy smile, Derek let his eyes trail
over her body, lingering at all the interesting parts.
    “You’re right,” he conceded. “I haven’t given you a reason
to trust me. I’ve thrown a tantrum, then acted all righteously angry when you
responded to it.” He trailed his index finger along the top edge of her
bustier, leaving a line of fire in its wake. “So here’s how it goes,” he said
firmly. “I am angry, at myself as much as at you. But I will never
punish you out of anger. When I punish you, the ultimate goal is your pleasure,
because that is ultimately where my own pleasure comes from.” He toyed with the
lace of her lingerie, letting his eyes slide hotly over her breasts before
dragging them back to meet her gaze. “Can we work with that?”
    “Yeah,” she whispered, throat clogged with tears of relief
and the release of tension. “Yeah, we can work with that.” She blinked a couple
of times, trying to clear her suddenly blurry vision. He gave a devilish smile
that made her mouth dry and her pussy very, very wet.
    “Yeah we can work with that, what ?” he asked in that
sinful, caramel voice.
    She shivered and had to clear her throat before she could
respond.
    “We can work with that…Master.”
     
    Derek moved slowly around to Elise’s back. He stroked the
lace ties of her bustier, then slowly untied them to release her beautiful
breasts. Finally he unzipped the back of the skirt and let it fall to the
floor. She stood gloriously naked except for her stockings and boots. Her ivory
skin glowed in the dim light of the room. He wanted nothing more than to bend
her over and order her to take him into her mouth. That would come soon enough,
though. First she needed to feel his flogger against her soft flesh.
    He went to his toys and selected a soft leather flogger,
along with a few other surprises he intended for her. The temperature in the
room seemed to have risen several degrees, or maybe it was just his natural
reaction to Elise’s glorious nudity. At any rate, Derek removed his shirt. He
needed to cool down a bit or there was no way he was going to get through this
evening.
    Standing behind her once again, he raised the flogger and
skimmed it along the top of Elise’s buttocks. “I’m going to spank that naughty
ass of yours for disobeying me several times this evening.”
    “Is this…is this my punishment?” The uncertainty in her
voice caused shivers up and down his spine. Elise was never unsure about
anything in her life, never caught by surprise.
    “No, baby, this isn’t your punishment. This is just a little
taste of the pleasure you’re going to experience this night.” He slid the
flogger slowly over her body, allowing the individual straps to brush gently
down her between her shoulders, tracing the path of her spine.
    Derek pulled back and struck her lightly, sending the soft
leather tails of the flogger over her ass and between her thighs, not hard
enough to give her any real pain, but enough to get her
