He nodded serenely.
“I trust you, Cassandra. Do whatever you think is best.”
“Thank you, Stone.” Cassie was touched by his perfect trust in her. “What about those leather manacles?” she asked, nodding at the larger set at the top of the flogging frame. “Think you can break free from them or should I just pretend to fasten them and leave them loose?”
Stone studied the thick leather straps for a moment, then shrugged.
“They should present no problem. You can fasten them correctly when you put me in the frame.” He frowned. “Though I do not know how you will reach my arms when they are over my head.”
“I don’t either. Wait—look.” Cassie pointed to the corner of the room. Clearly, one of the workers had anticipated the problem of someone short punishing someone tall, because there was another miniature staircase, like the one she used to get into the gold beanbag bed. Only this one was painted black, maybe to match the flogging frame.
“The problem appears to be solved,” Stone remarked.
Cassie nodded.
“All right. We’re going to go in there and I’ll be the angry Mistress, berating you for having done something wrong. Maybe you, uh, washed my clothes on the wrong setting and ruined them or something.”
“A good thought but perhaps not very ‘sexy’,” Stone rumbled. “Given how the scene ultimately goes, maybe you should be angry with me for not pleasuring you correctly. You should say that you will withhold your sexual favors and not allow me to taste you as punishment.”
“Oh, uh…” Cassie was surprised at her stoic partner adding such a naughty twist to their little scenario. “Okay, that is sexier,” she admitted.
“Especially given that once I break free, I will have a chance to ‘prove’ my sexual prowess by pleasuring you with my tongue until you come all over my face,” her partner growled softly, giving her a distinctly hungry look.
“Stone…” Cassie could feel the blood rushing to her cheeks. There he went again, talking dirty! Before this mission, she never would have believed Stone had it in him. But he always seemed to know exactly what to say to turn her on…and make her uncomfortable at exactly how turned on she was!
Just then, the camera drone beeped impatiently and the voice of their elf-man director came from it.
“Are the two of you ever going to get started? I have eleven more scenes to direct before Mid Meal—hurry up!”
“All right, all right—we’re going,” Cassie called back. She looked at Stone. “Are you ready?”
Her partner’s pale eyes were half-lidded and burning with desire.
“Cassandra, I have been ready to taste you from the first moment I saw you,” he rumbled.
“Stone!” she exclaimed again. Then she took a deep breath. There was no point in berating him now—they had to do their scene. Besides, maybe he was just getting into character.
“Are you ready, Mistress?” Stone asked her, raising an eyebrow.
Cassie nodded. “As I’ll ever be.”
“Good. Then let’s go.”
“All right.” Cassie grabbed him by the arm and dragged him into the room.
Forty
“Get in there!” she hissed, trying to sound like an angry Mistress. “Go to the flogging frame and hold up your arms!”
“Why, Mistress? What have I done to displease you?” Stone rumbled, frowning in a confused way.
“You know perfectly well what you’ve done,” Cassie exclaimed. “The pleasure massage you gave me today was completely inadequate—I didn’t have a single orgasm!”
“Then give me a second chance to pleasure you.” Stone looked at her, his eyes half-lidded with lust. “I promise I can do better, Mistress. I’ll make you come again and again if you’ll only let me.”
“No!” Cassie insisted. “Get to the flogging frame—I’m going to punish you for your poor performance!”
She gave her partner a shove in the small of his back and Stone made a show of staggering forward, though she knew very well that if he hadn’t wanted to move, she couldn’t have moved him. She gave him another push to get him inside the flogging frame and then commanded,
“Put up your arms so I can strap you in!”
“Mistress, please!” Stone pleaded, but he did as she said while Cassie rolled the little staircase over so that she could climb up it and reach his arms.
This position put her bare breasts right in her partner’s face—a fact she tried to ignore while she buckled his wrists into the heavy leather manacles.
Stone, however, didn’t seem inclined to ignore their current positions.
“Please, Mistress,” he begged, his voice a soft growl. “Give me another chance—let me show you how much pleasure I can give you.”
And then he sucked her right nipple into his hot mouth.
Cassie gave a little gasp and looked down to see her partner sucking her nipple, his eyes turned up to hers, as though daring her to stop him. His teasing tongue, circling her tender bud, was sending sparks of pleasure right through her, making her pussy ache with need.
