But she puts puts them on herself this time. He is lying back lazily watching her. Shedding the clothes she wore out in the world, and wearing all she needs when she’s with him. When she has put on the last wrist cuff he still watches her. She is beautiful. And yes, she smiles, comfortable, natural. He says, “Come here.” It didn’t happen every time. But usually he gave her an orgasm, one way or another, before she got up from her punishment place and position. So much of the rhetoric about life between a willing slave and her chosen Master comes down to this: he has to make himself useful, and keep his possession glad that she has a Master. Arethusa was, in a sense, easy to please, after punishment. She felt especially sexually needy and urgent after he’d caned her. Partly, he believed, she wanted to distract herself from the fire in her ass, but also… she was fiercely aroused. Hungry. So was he. The castle is medieval; the computer is current; the woman is timeless. Three ages collide, and make something new and beautiful. When curved granite and curved flesh are in the same image, of course it’s the human, and especially the erotic, that holds our attention. And thank fuck for that, say I. The lovely Zoë s the model. Arethusa liked her cuffs. She hardly ever took them off when we were together. They were fur-lined and comfortable. And sometimes, when her Master has gone off to make a cup of tea, and toast with jam, they’d keep her feeling held. And if, as Wordsworth claimed, poetry is the result of emotion recollected in tranquillity, then her sleep and its dreams were poetry. But her Master always found her wet, in the middle of any caning. Sometimes that discovery meant the caning was over. There were other priorities, that had just made themselves more urgent. A slavegirl needs to be pleasured. And, well, being her Master was all duty. It was bright daylight outside, and there was darker, more intimate and comforting light inside. My loveslave, Arethusa, was getting the cane. Not for any misconduct, but for her Master’s pleasure, and, though she’d only admit that afterwards, hers. She’d feared it once, but since then it became her favourite instrument. The line of pain was so intense and so clear, like the mark it left for days after. But she wanted comfort, which is darkness. I wanted her pain, which is bright. So we did what we wanted together. And we took what we most needed. How, how much I needed her. But she’s lucky. Because even good girls get spankings.

This evening she puts on her cuffs herself. The cuffs are fur-lined and their softness has its meanings. They are physically comfortable and they symbolise her owned status. He hopes they mean to her that being owned is comfortable. It’s home. Sinful Sunday: Consolation Prize

Sinful Sunday: Pleasuring Arethusa
He liked to pleasure Arethusa, in the middle of punishment. She didn’t always want to admit how turned on she was by the whole situation: his commands, his lecture, the kiss she was required to bestow on the cane, and then the stripes of fire. Sinful Sunday: The Light
