Hearts Aflame Collection: 4-Book Bundle (10 page)

“How did I do?” Andie asked, as they lay
cuddling afterward. She traced delicate patterns along his muscular
chest with her fingertip, and he held her close to him, as it he
never wanted to let her go. “It was my first time dominating anyone
and I hope I did alright.”

“You couldn’t have been more perfect!” Ryan
complimented, kissing her lips. “The question is; how was I? If I
didn’t pleasure you properly, then I was a poor sex slave.”

“Oh, you were perfect as well.” Andie
grinned.

“Ahh, too bad.” Ryan teased. “If I had been a
bad boy, it would mean you would have to spank me.”

“I’ve been reading books about that.” Andie
confessed. “Do you enjoy that kind of thing?”

“I do.” Ryan said, knowing he could trust her
with his intimate secrets. “Do you think you might like to try
playing that way some time?”

“I don’t know.” Andie said, thinking hard
about it. It didn’t take long for her eye’s to start to sparkle
with a naughty gleam. “Maybe I could try it.”

“That’s good enough for me” Ryan said. She
loved the way he never pressured her about anything. With him, she
could be her true self. She fell asleep in his arms.

Chapter Four

The sound of the telephone ringing awoke
Andie the next morning.

“Hello?” she said, her voice groggy with
sleep.

“I just wanted to make sure you were all
right.” Evan’s voice came over the phone, making her sit straight
up in bed. Andie suddenly remembered everything about last night,
and noticed with extreme disappointment that Ryan was gone. He must
have left when she was still asleep. Evan was saying “I’ve been
calling you every night since the party, and you haven’t returned
any of my calls. I was so worried about you.”

“Does it occur to you that I don’t want to
talk to you?” Andie said, feeling confident and more than little
annoyed that Evan was still trying to run her life. Her time with
Ryan last night had taught her that she was capable of being in
control.

“I know, but I just wanted a chance to tell
you I was sorry. I know I don’t deserve your forgiveness, but you
deserve to know how truly sorry I am for the way I’ve treated you.
That’s all I wanted to say.”

“Well, you’ve said it.” Andie said and hung
up the phone. A twinge of regret made her wonder if she was being
too hard on Evan. Maybe she should give him a second chance. The
thought sent a chill through her, and she realized she needed to
make herself some coffee. She put on her robe and wandered into the
kitchen, gasping with surprise when she found Ryan in front of the
stove, whistling to himself as he cooked breakfast.

“What’s this?” Andie said, pleasantly
surprised. No man had ever cooked her breakfast before. Suddenly,
her unpleasant conversation with Evan was completely forgotten.

“If it pleases you, I’ve made coffee, orange
juice, and omelet-a-la-Ryan.”

“It pleases me very much!” Andie said with
delight. She sat at the table in her dining nook, as Ryan served
her the meal, beautifully presented on her best dishes.

“I think I could get used to being treated
this way.” Andie smiled, as she dived into her food. It was utterly
delicious; there were perks to dating a chef she realized. She
noticed Ryan was standing patiently against the wall in the
kitchen. “Aren’t you going to join me?”

“If it pleases you” Ryan said. “If you prefer
to dine alone, I will await your command.”

“Sit and eat with me” Andie giggled, and he
joined her at the table. Andie marveled that having her own sex
slave would take some getting to used to, but she absolutely loved
it. It felt amazing to have someone lavishing all his attention on
her, without expecting anything of her in return. She realized of
course, it was all an illusion. In truth, Ryan was capable of
choosing to do anything he wanted; it was just pure luck on her
part that he chose to willingly serve her and obey her commands.
Now she just had to get accustomed to giving the orders.
Fortunately, she knew she could count on Ryan to help guide her in
how to play the game. It was obvious that he really loved it
too.

“So, what shall we do today?” Andie asked as
Ryan poured more coffee for her, and then cleared her plate and
proceeded to wash the dishes. Andie realized that Evan had never
done any of the household chores even once in all their years
together.

“Today, we will do whatever you desire.” Ryan
said, from in front of the sink. “I am at your service in every
way.”

Andie thought carefully. She wanted to make
sure she picked something that Ryan would enjoy doing too. She said
“Do you want to see an action movie or go see a game today?”

“I only want to do what you want to do
today.” Ryan said, drying the clean dishes and putting them in the
cupboard for her. As he put the last plate away, he came into the
dining room and started massaging her shoulders. He could feel how
tense they were, and worked to rub away all her worries. He said
“Don’t think about what you think I might want. Just tell me the
one thing you really and truly feel like doing today, no matter
what it is.”

“In that case, I want to go shopping at the
mall.” Andie confessed in a rush of breath she hadn’t realized
she’d been holding. “Evan never let me go to the mall, especially
at Christmas. He said it was too crowded, and that the consumerism
culture had ruined the holiday, and all that rubbish. It may be
silly and crowded, but I love the mall at Christmas time, and it’s
where I want to go today.”

“As you wish” Ryan smiled sexily, and kissed
her neck in just the way he knew she liked. Before she knew it, he
was nibbling on her ear, and her breath began to quicken.

“I want to make you orgasm on this table” he
whispered. “Please, will you let me?”

“Wait, not yet” Andie said, putting her hand
firmly on his chest. To her surprise, he stopped instantly, and
stood at attention, awaiting her next word. She said “I want to try
something I studied in one of my books.”

Ryan grinned widely; pleased with the
interest she was showing in playing the game with him. When he’d
felt the passion of her kiss at the party a week ago, he’d had a
feeling she’d make a good mistress. He was glad to see she was
willing to give it a try.

Feeling daring, Andie pulled the belt from
her bathrobe and commanded Ryan to put his hands behind his back.
Somewhat awkwardly, she used the belt to bind his wrists behind his
back. The knot she made was clumsy at best, but she knew it would
hold. She was surprised to feel her nipples were tingling with
arousal as she pulled the knot tight.

With the belt missing, her robe fell
completely open, revealing her naked body underneath. Ryan stared
at her appreciatively, with lust glittering in his eyes. To even
the score, she pulled off his clothes, leaving him naked as well,
and slowly inspected his body. It excited her to see that he was
already aroused for her.

“Sit down here” Andie commanded, indicating
one of her kitchen chairs. Her voice sounded strong and confident,
and she felt a rush of power. Ryan did as she had bid and Andie
stood in front of him, holding her breasts before his lips.

“Lick my nipples” she instructed, and he
obeyed, lapping at them passionately with his tongue, while she
panted beneath his touch.

“Now suck them” she commanded, growing more
and more comfortable in her role as Dominant. She caressed his
chest with her fingernails, and commanded him to suck her harder.
Suddenly, she felt a sharp pain as he sucked too hard, and on
impulse she reached down and pinched his nipples as hard as she
could, yelling “Softer!”

Ryan let out a yelp of pain, and proceeded to
suck her nipples more gently. “Yes Mistress.”

They played the game like that a while
longer. She commanded him on how to pleasure her nipples, ordering
him to lick or suck each one, with more gentleness or more vigor as
she saw fit. When he was good, she rewarded him by caressing him,
and when he was bad, she punished him with a painful pinch.

“I love it when you do that, Mistress” he
groaned into her breasts, letting her know she was playing the game
just the way he liked. She realized how much she liked it too, as
she felt moisture growing between her thighs. She wanted him, more
than she’d ever wanted anyone before. Best of all, she could choose
how and when they would do it. He was all hers to dominate and
control.

She straddled him then, as he sat in the
chair with his hands bound behind his back.

Slowly, she slid herself on top of his
throbbing manhood, and he groaned with pleasure at the feel of warm
folds enveloping him. She moved against the length of him, drawing
out his pleasure and her own, by going as slowly as she could, but
it only made her passion build and soon she couldn’t stop herself
from thrusting with wild abandon. She gripped his shoulders and
threw back her head, screaming out in pleasure as she orgasmed
loudly against him.

“I’m going to climax, Mistress!” Ryan moaned
loudly, over her cries. “Please, tell me I have your
permission!”

Understanding that he wanted to be
“punished”, she said “No, don’t you dare! Do not climax or I will
punish you!”

Of course, Ryan climaxed anyway, there was no
way he could have stopped himself, and they orgasmed noisily
together. When they had recovered, Andie looked at him with a mock
glare and said “You are in such big trouble, you naughty boy!”

“I’m so sorry Mistress.” Ryan said, looking
equally playful. “Let me take you to the mall as you desire. We’ll
buy a paddle there and when we come home tonight, you can spank me
with it for my disobedience.”

Andie grinned with mischief. In her wildest
dreams she never would have imagined she’d go Christmas shopping
for a paddle to punish her sex slave with. This was turning out to
be the best Christmas ever!

Chapter Five

Andie felt like she was in heaven as she
walked through the mall with Ryan by her side. She loved the
display of giant flocked trees covered in oversized ornaments of
red and gold. She loved the sales, and the stores, and mountains of
deals to be found. She loved the carols playing over the sound
system, and Santa’s village erected in the center with a line of
children anxiously awaiting their turn to sit on his lap. Best of
all, she loved the atmosphere of the mall, with crowds of people,
all smiling over having found the perfect gift. It filled her with
holiday spirit.

“Happy Mistress?” Ryan whispered into her
ear, as he handed her the cup of hot cocoa he’d just purchased for
from a kiosk.

“Shhhh. Don’t call me that here!” Andie
whispered back, playfully slapping his arm. “Someone will hear you
and know what naughty things we’ve been up to.”

“Well don’t forget, I was naughty this
morning. You promised to punish me when we get back to your home
tonight.”

“That’s true.” Andie smirked mischievously,
arching her eyebrow at him in mock intimidation. “I also recall,
you promised to show me where I can get a paddle to that punishing
with.”

“It’s right here in the mall. Would you like
me to show you now, Mistress?”

“Yes, but stop calling me that here, or I
really will have to punish you. Just call me that at home, and
that’s an order!”

“As you wish, Andie.” Ryan smiled ruefully.
He led her through the mall, and Andie wondered where he was taking
her. She knew there wasn’t an adult novelty shop anywhere in the
mall. She gaped in surprise when he entered the sporting goods
shop.

“They sell fetish toys in here?” she
whispered in his ear.

“Not exactly, but they work just as well.
Ping pong anyone?” Ryan grinned, holding up the flat rounded paddle
for her to see. “They work just as well as anything you’d find in a
novelty store. You can find toy’s just about anywhere, if you just
know how to look.”

“I can believe I never thought of that
before!” Andie giggled. Ryan loved the sound of her laugh when she
was truly at ease. It was such a beautiful sound; he realized he
wanted to keep her happy, always.

“Shall I carry it to the counter for
you?”

“Yes, please” she said, her eyes glistening
at the thought of what they would do with it when they got home. A
movement caught her eye, and she startled as she thought she saw
Evan leaving the sporting goods store.

“Are you all right?” Ryan asked immediately,
ever aware of her needs.

“I’m fine. I thought I saw something, but it
was nothing. Let’s go home and play some ping pong” she laughed,
knowing he’d understand what game she really meant.

“So how does spanking work?” Andie asked, as
Ryan drove her home, with the newly purchased paddle on her
lap.

“The nerves that carry signals of sexual
pleasure to your brain are the exact same nerves that carry signals
of pain.” Ryan explained. “If a person is feeling sexual pleasure,
and they are inflicted with pain during that time, it becomes very
easy for the brain to confuse those signals, and interpret them
both the same way. People who feel pain as pleasure during sex, are
referred to as masochists. People who feel sensual pleasure in
administering that pain, are referred to as sadists.”

“So you’re a masochist.” Andie said to just
clarify things to herself, and Ryan nodded. “What if I’m not a
sadist?”

“Well, then we don’t have to play that way if
you don’t want to; but judging from the way you were pinching my
nipples this morning, I have a feeling you might be.”

Andie blushed beside him. “I completely
forgot about that! I’m so sorry if I hurt you too much. I didn’t
even realize I was being a sadist!”

Ryan laughed gently at her. “It’s okay, no
need to freak out. Most people have a little bit of sadism and
masochism in them, and never even know it.”
