Flash fiction
Angelo fastened the black velvet cuffs to her wrists and ankles. He stood and stared at her. Stretched supine across the silky satin sheets, her blond cascading over the pure white pillow, she was the very image of innocent vulnerability. The candlelight, flickering in the darkened room, threw arcane shadows over her naked body. His face softened, as his dark, cognizant eyes drank in her beauty. She gazed back at him - her face a tableau of trust. He carefully closed her eyelids, blindfolding her by his will. Then he caressed her lips, pushing his thumb into her mouth, allowing her to suck on it. His mouth alighted on her breast. Biting gently, he marked her as his property. Jennie moaned softly. All her secret dreams and fantasies were finally coming true. She surrendered to his will, drowning in a deep pool of love for the man who already possessed her mind, and now, as his lips branded her with a seal of love, was the owner of her body, too. She shivered as Angelo whispered, “Thank you for your trust, my pet. I shall do everything in my power to make you happy for as long as you are mine.”
She stands naked. Gagged. Hands tied. A masked man explores her body. Sensitive fingers tease her nipples, stroke her clit. She shivers in desire. And then he stops. Sinking to her knees she bows her head in submission, bringing pleasure to his eyes. And then she sees the whip. Is pain the price she will have to pay for love? A giant hand picks her up and rips her from the room. Cool sheets surround her. She sighs in relief. A dream. The dark figure beside the bed smiles ironically. She moans. Her eyes drawn to the whip in his hand.
Crystalline sand coats her oiled body, reflecting the midday sun. Sea-gulls soar in azure blue, their plaintive cries accompanying the music of gently washing waves. Lethargy creeps into her soul. For the first time since he had left she felt at peace. Free of his power she could own herself again. Suddenly a dark shadow blocks out the sun. She stares up into black, hypnotic eyes. His dark voice fills the limbo surrounding her. "I was wrong. Without you, I am nothing." Moments later, two bodies and souls are as one again, and independence melts into oblivion. | ||
