The Pleasure Principle Chapter 14
They ate in a silence so thick with unspoken words Zane thought he could reach out and touch it. Dara finished first then sat there with her hands folded in her lap, eyes focused on her feet while he ate the rest of his meal. The extremeness of her subservience made him angrier by the minute. Anyone who lived the real D/s lifestyle knew it was the only relationship built 100 percent on trust. That the power exchange was what made it work. A sub giving that power of domination to him was a true gift. Zane still recalled the first time a friend had taken him to a private club and given him the opportunity to explore urges and desires he had no idea what to do with. That first night he'd just watched the performances, stunned people were doing these things in front of an audience but totally aroused both by their unselfconsciousness and by the performance itself. He'd gone back again and again, finally applying for his own membership, and begun training to be a Dom.Yes, training. Some

She twisted in his grasp, and when she did, her tee shirt twisted and rode up, exposing her back. It took every bit of Zane's self-control not to gasp out loud or mutter a curse. He had applied the whip to his subs. Lily loved it. But lightly, so that although there were red stripes crisscrossing her skin, the lotion they used soothed them and made them fade. He didn't use it to create permanent marks on her or any other sub.In contrast, Dara's back was crisscrossed with visible scars, a network of welts that combined both old and new marks. This was not the use of a whip for erotic pleasure. This was the work of someone determined to cause the most pain possible. Looking at her back made him sick to his stomach. Unable to stop himself, he coasted his hand over the dRafecate skin, fingers tracing each and every one of her marks.With unexpected strength, Dara pushed off his lap, yanking herself away from him."Don't." She bit her lip, her eyes cast downward. "Don't look at them."

Zane swallowed a sigh and pushed himself out of his chair. "How about if we go out on the porch. We can watch the rain from there. It's covered so we won't get wet. Rain always used to make me feel better."When I was a kid and not a wreck of a person.Dara gave him a skeptical look, but when he waved at the porch, she headed toward the door. The air had a clean, fresh smell to it, the kind that rain always brought with it. Zane wished the storm could cleanse his brain the way it did the landscape. He took Dara's hand, feRafeng the fragility of the bones. It was a wonder the wind out on the bay hadn't just blown her away.He was careful not to hold her hand too tight. He was at a loss how to proceed because he had no idea what things he might do that would send frightening signals to her. He closed his eyes in an effort to center himself and bam! Out of the blue, an image of Dara, naked, snapped into his brain. She was on her knees, head bowed, her rich sable hair falling over her f

Zane had been positive the disaster with Lily had wiped out all desire to be in a D/s situation again, or any kind of sexual situation, at least until he got his shit straightened out. But there was something about Dara, her fragility, her lack of any artifice, that flipped a switch inside him. Made him want her with a sudden, explosive fierceness.Go figure.Maybe this is what both of you need, for different reasons.He leaned back in the Adirondack chair and watched as she stroked his hard length with her slim fingers before lapping every inch with her tongue. Bolts of pleasure shot through him, arousing him. Her small hand inched down between his thighs to cup his balls and give them a gentle squeeze. Heat he'd never expected to feel again blasted him, scorching his nerve endings. The sight of her on her knees before him, head bent low as her tongue and her lips worked his cock knocked away the last of his reservations and breached the wall that had sprung up around him. His inne

"I know you've been kind to me, and angry on my behalf. That's more than I need."Zane was half tempted to call a halt to this right now. Again, he wondered if he was losing his mind about to indulge in some D/s play with a sub he'd never met before who was obviously traumatized? If anyone he knew had told him they were planning this, he would have chewed his ass out. But this was not a normal situation, or normal circumstances. Zane saw himself as damaged goods, too. Maybe the coming together of two traumatized people was what impelled him to do this. If he could be her savior, maybe she could serve the same purpose for him.But he'd have to be careful about what activities he chose. The most important thing to him right now was giving her pleasure, however he had to do that. He zipped his jeans but left the button undone and gave Dara an intense look."The first thing for you to do is take off those clothes."Her eyes widened. "But - "He knew she was thinking about the scars. "

Taking the last length of rope, Zane fashioned a knot that he settled right on her clit, pulling hard to tighten it and put pressure on every one of her sensitive spots. Last, he tied off the end using the length of rope circling her waist. Now the thick cord was abrading every one of her sensitive spots. He wished he had something secure in the ceiling to hook her to, but a quick glance upward showed him nothing but a ceiling fixture, certainly not strong enough to bear her weight.Okay, he'd improvise. Balancing her with great care, he lifted her to the couch and arranged her so she lay on her back, bound arms behind her, the cheeks of her ass resting on her heels. He watched her carefully for signs of pain beyond the pleasure point, well aware she'd never tell him about it. When he was satisfied with her position, he picked up a tiny vibrator he'd plucked from the drawer, cleaned it carefully, and hooked it to the rope just above where it pressed against her clit. It worked with a

Too bad Derek didn't have a tub put in his bathroom, Zane thought. He'd love to be soaking in it with Dara, luxuriating in the hot water, letting it ease the residual strain in both their bodies. But he did the best he could. He turned the shower on full force, as hot as they could stand it, and took great care in soaping and massaging every muscle in her body. He couldn't prevent himself from tweaking her rosy nipples when he washed her breasts or sliding his soap-covered fingers into the warmth of her pussy. She kept her eyes closed the entire time, which drove him nuts. He wanted to know what she was thinking, how she was feRafeng. She seemed relaxed beneath the touch of his hands but he wanted to be sure. He wanted her to be satisfied and feel safe and to enjoy what they did.When the hell had all that become important to him? How had a storm-tossed waif wormed her way into his heart?At that thought, his hand stilled and he froze in place. His heart? He wasn't sure he even had

"You haven't kissed much." It was a statement, not a question.Dara looked away from him. "My Master said kissing was for weaklings."Zane thought to himself that her so-called Master deserved to be erased from the face of the earth. He wanted to do a lot of kissing with this little waif, a thought that shocked him as soon as it entered his brain. And find out more about who she was. What happened to getting rid of her as soon as possible? "Will you tell me your last name?" he asked."Hanover. Dara Hanover.""Well, Dara Hanover, let's get through tonight and see what tomorrow brings, shall we?""Are-are you sending me away?" She asked the question in a timid voice."Hell, no." The words were out before he even thought about it. "But let's see what happens after tonight, okay?""Okay." She slid under his arms and off the bed. "But I still insist on fixing dinner."He had to admit it was nice to have someone wait on him, ask what he wanted, make sure he had his food and drink.
