He sits on the edge of the bed, and I begin to strip.
Standing here, naked, I put the blindfold on, standing in the spot I always do, waiting. I hear him move and walk out. I stand here waiting. He sometimes leaves to build up the tension. However, what seems like over an hour later, he still isn’t back.
I remove the blindfold and get dressed and go to find him. I walk into our bedroom; he is here, sitting on the bed. Maybe, I should switch, and become his Domme. The last time I used the whip, it drove him wild. Maybe that is the key to bringing him back.
He never agreed to me whipping him, he quickly took control when I had before.
I grab his hand, trying to prise him off the bed. He stays, unmoving, his eyes looking at me. Every time I look at them, it breaks my heart a bit more.
“Trust me, Jackson, as I trust you”. I pull him again; this time he stands up and walks with me. I guide him back to the playroom.
Tears build in my eyes as I begin to undress him. When he is fully naked, I hook his hands above his head and watch as I say goodbye to his eyes, as I put the blindfold over them.
He stands here, unmoved, silent, almost like a statue that I have to try to break and bring back to life. I feel out of my depth. I’ve no idea what to do. With Roxy it was different. With Jackson, though, something doesn’t feel right.
I have to try though. I grab the flogger, my hand trailing it around his body, the flogger teasing him, running over his body. It feels bizarre like I am offbeat with my movements, inexperienced, and I feel useless, truly useless because, although I did this with Roxy, I am struggling to do it to him.
I am glad he can’t see me, as the tears fall while I try to break him in any way possible to bring him back. My hand continues to stroke his body, my lips finding his neck. As I kiss lightly, my lips trail along his body, planting kisses as I move down, my tongue gently licking the head of his shaft, before I move back up again.
Standing up, I swing the flogger hard across his ass. I wait, expecting him to react, to pull at the restraints, and tell me to stop. Anything.
He doesn’t. He stays here, hands above his head. I swing it down harder, and he stays still, with no reaction. It is as if he thinks he deserves to be punished, to be hurt. I move around, kissing down his body again, my mouth sucking his cock inside, my tongue teasing under it, stroking it gently.
He moans as I feel him begin to stiffen in my mouth, filling it, and making me moan from the sensation.
I snap back, standing in front of him, walking around to the back of him. I swing the flogger down, hitting him harder, my mouth biting his neck, as I moan against it.
My nails dig into his chest as I scratch down, watching as he bleeds. My mouth teases his neck as my hand grabs his cock, slowly stroking it.
Swinging the flogger harder, I don’t stop. I count to five and swing it again, 1…2…3…4…5…swinging the flogger one final time with all my strength. I see his body react and slightly stiffen up. I look around me at the items.
I find a clamp that he often puts on my sex. I slowly tease him with my mouth, sucking the cock inside my mouth teasingly and then back out. Once out, I close the clamp down on his foreskin.
I watch as he jumps, growling at the feel of it. I can tell he is close to breaking. I move around his back, my hands trailing along his body, as I swing the flogger down again.
This time, I turn. Moving, I grab the paddle. It has wires attached. I have no idea how to use it, and I just hope it doesn’t hurt him. Turning it on, I swing it over his ass. He growls loudly, pulling at the restraints before relaxing.
Degradation; humiliation. He had mentioned those as forms of punishment, a way to break a sub. He mentioned how it was the one thing he could not stand, him being humiliated or degraded. What would make him feel humiliated?
I walk out of the room, back to mine, and grab the bag. Walking back in, I open it, and I begin removing the makeup, hoping that he will realise what I am doing before he has all the makeup on. I grab the brush and blusher and walk over to him. I rub the brush into the blusher before applying it to his cheeks. I swing the paddle over his ass again.
My hand strokes the brush against his cheek. He doesn’t react. I hit the paddle across his ass again, tears falling from my eyes. I hate this, I really hate it. I stroke the brush across the other side, making sure he has enough pink on them.
He doesn’t react. I have a feeling this isn’t going to make a difference. It is almost as if he is letting me do this as a punishment.
Sitting, we talk about the wedding and her plans, ideas and what she wants. “So, I have kept quiet for an hour, talk.” Looking at her, I know what she means but I am not sure I want to talk about it, yet I haven’t really spoken about it. “I don’t know what to say. It has happened and now I am trying my best to move forward.” I am. It is hard but I am slowly getting there. “Well, talk to me about the last few minutes with him, because the first I heard of what was said was in the church.” Sitting, I talk about those last moments, explaining how it was then that I realised just how much I loved him. It was still nothing compared to how much I love Jackson, but it is still a lot more than I admitted to before. Sitting, it actually feels nice talking to Georgina. When I am trying to talk to Jackson, I am scared my feelings for Marcus might hurt him. “Anyway, Liam mentioned the will. I am guessing that was a shock.” Nodding, it was, and no amount of time will make it feel alright
Sitting, we wait for the solicitor. When he arrives, we sit down to discuss everything. Everyone is happy with the will and we each sign. It feels weird. My signature just made me have 1.8 million pounds for the business, but if it helps women and men who suffer domestic abuse, why not? Everyone leaves and we sit down to eat tea. Our bags are packed ready to leave. “I was thinking, I know the will stated for the business, but could it be used to support other people, not just those who suffered domestic abuse?” Looking at him, he shrugs his shoulders. “I am not sure. The money will be paid into the business account, but I guess it depends on what you were thinking about?” How do I explain this? My mind finds the words and tries to get them in the right order so that it makes sense. “I want to do something similar but for those who have lost someone in the army, navy or similar, or through cases like Marcus’s.” I want something there to support these people, the ones like me who d
The day has been tiring. Getting home with the bags, I am ready for bed. We spent hours walking around shops getting the things we needed. The girls practically have a full wardrobe of holiday clothes thanks to Jackson. Getting in, we get the girls ready for bed. Sitting together, I read them a story each, the ones Marcus bought them with their own names in. Finishing, we put them in their cots. Walking out, we close the door quietly as they fall asleep. “I was thinking, Liam and Georgina were asking about the holiday and coming along. I understand if you say no. They will be in a hut away from us, but Georgina suggested they come for one or two nights there. They would have the girls for us.” It sounds like a good idea, us all together but separate. We could maybe even get a girls’ night in with me and Georgina, and Jackson and Liam can go out. “What about Helen? Sorry, your mum.” She isn’t well, and I don’t like the idea of her flying or being left alone. “I am going to pay f
Opening the drawers, I pull out his clothes. Folding them, I put them in a suitcase. With all his clothes away, I move onto one of the trunks. Opening it, I am shocked. It is a range of toys, all different. I had no idea he had brought it all here, but it has me wondering, would he have been sitting looking at these wishing he could use them with me? Does he have a favourite like Jackson? Getting to the bottom, there is not much in here, just his own toys, whips and things. Putting it back, I don’t even know what we would do with these. Opening another trunk, there is an envelope on top. Opening it, I start to read it. Marcus is divorced. He told us they were going through it but never mentioned it being made official. Putting it to the side, I find more letters, nothing important. Then I see a solicitor one, with the word ‘Will’ on it. I won’t open this. I can’t. Placing it to the side, I leave it for Jackson. Another envelope, this one with my name on. It isn’t small; it is b
Jackson is standing with a woman, one of Marcus’s submissives. She looks upset and hurt, not like Maria. Standing, I watch. They stand talking, her eyes filled with tears. It just shows how amazing Marcus was and how loveable. The rest of the day goes ahead slowly. Sure enough, Maria left after Troy told her she had no right to be there. Jackson spent most of his time by my side. The team were amazing and constantly checking on me. Getting home, the girls are already in bed. Helen hugs us before saying bye and leaving with Liam and Georgina. I don’t feel like I have said goodbye. With everyone there, I couldn’t say what I wanted without some asking questions. It still feels weird here without Marcus around us. Sitting at the table, I now understand what he meant. I did the same thing the past week: me pretending my life didn’t exist. Jackson sits opposite me and his hands grasp mine. “You are the only person he told that to, you know? I checked. None of us knew why he stared i
Walking downstairs, everyone is here: the whole team, Marcus’s other friends, and a few women. I don’t know who they are yet I feel I want to know. Walking to Jackson’s side, he wraps his arm around me. “We should walk around and say hi. I will introduce you to people he knew that you have not met.” Nodding, I agree. I should know who these people are. “How will you introduce me? What will you introduce me as in regard to Marcus and exactly how much do the team know?” Jackson turns, looking at me in surprise. Whether that is at my questions or the fact that is the most I have spoken in days, I don’t even know. “Well, I will introduce you as my wife and the closest person to Marcus before he passed. The team know everything. I had to tell them about it all. Explaining why you are this broken by him dying would not work by lying, Alena.” The closet person to Marcus…he used to be the closet person to Marcus. Had that changed? We start walking around the room, Jackson introducing
