A harder, sharper sting made her jerk against her bindings and ripped her out of the haze she’d been floating in.
She calmed her breathing and allowed her body to get used to the new and different sensations. Master Dex had switched to a different flogger, apparently noticing that she’d become too used to the last one.
Warmth pooled inside her belly that had nothing to do with the flogging. She had always fantasized about having a Dom who could read her reactions and know exactly what she needed and craved even before she did. She had heard about them from other subs, but hadn’t been convinced they existed.
Several more blows fell in quick succession, and she yelped as a few of the tails whipped around to slap her sensitive mound.
The thought of wearing Master Dex’s red marks for days made her clit throb again as more blows fell in quick succession. They were fast and furious, as if he could tell she was close to another orgasm.
The pain built and built until it burst in an explosion of heat, light, and ecstasy.
She couldn’t tell if the blows continued, or even if she stood straight or hung boneless against the restraints.
Right now she didn’t care as long as she could float inside this wonderful sensation forever.
Chapter 6
Dex ran his gaze over his very sexy new submissive. She currently hung limp in the restraints, her head lolling to one side. He laid the flogger aside, stepping close to make sure Kate was all right. “Hey, beautiful. Are you still with me?”
Heavy eyelids slowly opened. Her green eyes seemed to attempt to focus on him, but he doubted she registered much beyond the wonderful ocean of ecstasy she was drowning in.
“Let’s get you into aftercare while you come back to Earth.” He smiled to himself as he freed her from her restraints and lifted her easily into his arms. She was warm and pliant, not entirely dead weight, but well beyond very relaxed. He couldn’t help but feel triumphant that he’d given his sub such overwhelming pleasure.
The murmur behind him that had grown to rival even the thumping rock soundtrack quieted as Dex turned toward the crowd gathered to watch the scene.
A pretty, thin blonde rushed forward with a blanket and draped it over Kate. “Sir, I thought she might need this. Would it be all right if I gather your things and bring them to aftercare for you, as long as I don’t disturb you?”
Dex nodded, appreciating the gesture, even knowing she probably hoped to ask him to be her new Dom. “Thank you. What’s your name?”
“Samantha, sir.” She immediately dropped her gaze and assumed a submissive stance in front of him. He wondered if this was one of the subs who had advised Kate. If so, he might know a good Dom or two who would appreciate a smart, assertive sub. He would definitely have to ask his boss about bringing in some backup to The Dungeon.
“Thank you, Samantha. I appreciate your help.”
She smiled and hurried to start gathering his tools.
Dex strode through the tightly packed group without slowing, used to people moving out of his way. Earlier, he had found aftercare while waiting for Kate to change, so he wasted no time in crossing the dungeon floor and ducking into the darkened aftercare room.
Once inside, he sat on one of the plush couches with Kate cuddled in his arms. Her skin was warm, almost hot, from all the stimulation her body had endured.
“Mmm.” The dreamy sound fell from her lips, making him smile.
“Mmm indeed, sweetheart.” He brushed her hair away from her face and tucked the blanket closer around her. “I’m not sure if you will remember this or not, but I’ll say it again later in case you don’t.”
Kate’s only answer was to burrow closer against him, tucking her long legs up higher under the blanket.
“You were magnificent out there. It was wondrous to watch your body come alive, flooded with pleasure. I’m honored to be the one who took you there.”
She murmured something he couldn’t make out, but seemed to be some type of happy response.
When the sound of the aftercare door opening caught Dex’s attention, he glanced up to see Samantha slip inside with his bag of tools.
He raised a hand to acknowledge he’d seen her, and silently thank her as she set them next to the door before she flashed him a smile and left.
He spent the next forty minutes cuddling Kate against him and talking to her, allowing her time to respond, even when it was only murmurs or her burrowing more tightly against him. He had found that letting subs slowly come down from subspace by talking to them softly gave them less of a hangover than trying to bring them out quickly. Everyone’s body worked differently, but gently always seemed the best way to let them normalize again.
