Chapter 22 (Lily)

Russell eventually blinked a few times and let out the happiest, gentlest sigh I had ever heard. Then his face broke into an actual smile, meeting his blue eyes with my own and shaking his head what he could between my thighs.

“Are you doing okay?” I asked gently, fingers running over his scalp again, and the man literally started to purr from it, like a giant, adorable kitten.

He nodded, still smiling serenely. “Yeah…” He took a breath in, and let it roll out before he spoke again, never looking away from me. “Yeah, I’m great, Lily. That was… I…” I wasn’t quite sure if he was a little distracted by the gentle strokes of my fingers against him, or if he was just still at a loss for words from the experience. I didn’t think that I could even articulate what I wanted to say, either.

“That was wonderful,” he let out a little chuckle, shaking his head again and continued. “And the word wonderful seems like it’s cheapening the experience almost, I—I don’t…” He faded off.

On that note, I decided to slide back down him. When I had enough room, I leaned forward, and planted a soft kiss on his lips, to which he replied with an “Mmmm.” After, I rolled him gently over a little and loosened the binds on his arms, unraveling the rope and letting him free. While the bondage was a great tool and many submissive men very much enjoyed it, as did I, it got a little uncomfortable after a while and I wanted him to be able to relax now.

Russell moved his arms once he was able, and surprisingly, he immediately pulled me to him. Within a matter of a few seconds, I was encompassed like a cocoon, his thick arms having surrounded me firmly. I was pressed up against his warm, naked body, breathing steadily, and so relaxed.

He sighed again, and then I felt him plant a kiss on the top of my head. It was completely unexpected and I nearly melted straight into him. This wasn’t something I was used to a man doing. In fact, it was nearly always the opposite. I was in control of these immediate actions afterward, I set the tone of the ‘aftercare.’

Instead, I shut off the little flitting thoughts in my mind arguing about how this wasn’t what I was used to and decided to enjoy it, because strangely enough I really did. Even if Russell was essentially smothering me into a hug at the moment and had me pinned to him like there was no chance in hell I was going absolutely anywhere, we both knew who the boss was, despite that.

Well, at least I thought we did, until he decided to speak.

“So,” he whispered, speaking into the top of my head. I could feel him smiling when he did, and then he squeezed my body into his again, like he was hugging me tightly for a few seconds. “How about I can have like…twenty percent.”

“What?” I said, almost in a breath versus actually verbalizing the word, but it had been loud enough for him to hear. I’d been so distracted and feeling so relaxed against his naked body, it had been hard to focus on him for a second.

“I can be the dominant one twenty percent of the time,” Russell said, kissing on the top of my head again gently. I immediately jerked my head backwards so I could look up into his eyes, and he was already laughing as I moved, and it compounded when he saw the expression on my face. “Well Jesus. O-K. Such a control freak. Ten percent? You can give up a little bit, can’t you?” He was grinning at me playfully, and I felt his fingers draw along my backside, tracing lines against my skin, causing me to shiver gently in his arms, and making my mind all jumbled and foggy.

Still, he wasn’t going to win this battle. “In what world did you think you’d ever get to have control in this relationship?” Despite my words, I, too, was smiling rather ridiculously back at him. One of my hands reached up to gently stroke against the side of his face, and he nudged into it. “I don’t think that was the agreement, Russell.”

“Well, Lily,” Russell replied, with such gusto I nearly laughed, and then before I could even fathom what he was doing, he’d ran his sexy fingers down the length of my back and then gripped onto my ass roughly for a second, causing me to gasp a little in surprise. Then, before he’d decided to be through with his cocky display, he gave it a playful smack, too.

Oh was this little shit ever in trouble. Two could play that game. Eventually, anyway.

“You know, you act like you want nothing but constant control, constant dictation of every little detail. You want to completely own a guy, your rules, you’re the boss… and…and it’s really fucking sexy, believe me,” he smiled softly at me, and I stared back at him, unsure of where he was going with this speech.

Suddenly, I was rapidly rolling, until Russell had been on top of me. It had been such a surprise, I gasped loudly into the room, and it had caused Russell to laugh once he’d accomplished what he’d wanted. Once he’d cocooned himself around me again, he moved his mouth gently into my neck, nibbling at my skin again, and kissing up until he’d reached my earlobe. I felt him nip at it, but gently, just enough to get me to buck a little in response, and then he planted his warm, wet mouth against my ear.

“I think you still like the idea of this big, strong guy protecting you,” he said softly, kissing the edge of my ear. “And it doesn’t say anything about you, because I know you’re entirely capable of taking care of yourself. I really like that about you, actually.” Again, he kissed against me, and then I felt his nose gently rub against me and I let out the softest, most pleased sound I’d ever heard myself make, completely wrapped up in what he was doing.

“And I say I’d be dominant, but… I think the things I’d want to do to you…” he moved his mouth again, biting rougher into my neck, this time eliciting a moan from me, and I bucked into him. I felt him smiling into my skin after, and he kissed me softly. “The ‘dominant’ things I do that I’m noticing you actually like, whether you choose to admit that or not…” He let out a soft chuckle, and suddenly I felt his cock…my cock, still hard and wanting against my leg.

God damn I wanted him to fuck me right now, just shove into me and take me like that masculine animalistic side of him wanted, and I didn’t even care I did. But instead, I sat there calmly, letting him say what he wanted to say.

“Those things I don’t think you’re used to, maybe… I think… and maybe I’m completely wrong, but I think they can still be submissive, you know? I’m realizing how much I just want to please you. How much I want to make you happy and see you smile and laugh and be yourself.” He looked up to me, and we met eyes. I couldn’t help but smile a little bigger and shake my head at him.

“See? Exactly. Gorgeous. But… I think you enjoy it sometimes when I do those things, even if you’re not used to thinking you like them. And… I think seeing you enjoy it so much, seeing how it affects you in a positive way, still makes me want to do it sometimes. It makes me want to please you and make you happy. I like seeing that, more than I feel like I ever have with another woman before, even the longer-term girlfriends I’ve had… And it’s sort of connecting for me how it’s still submissive, in its purest form. I think I’ve been more submissive the entire time and it was just disguised.”

He trailed off, and I found my fingers mindlessly stroking the side of his face, lost in the words he’d been saying. “It was funny, when I first saw you at the club the other night. I was solely convinced that you were—”

“Not my type,” we both said in unison, and then laughed.

“Yeah,” I nodded, once I’d recovered, still smiling at him. “I don’t know what came over me, but I still wanted you for my demonstration. There was something about you that I couldn’t put my finger on exactly, but I knew I wanted to know more about you anyway…” I paused my touching of his face, drawing into him so I could plant my lips to his. “And I’m really glad I did… I mean…like really glad.”

“My uh, my mom used to have this saying,” Russell started, and suddenly I heard a little crack in his voice, and wondered if it was a sore subject for him, if something had happened to his mom or what. I didn’t ask and almost prompted him to stop, but was equally too curious to know what he was going to say, so I didn’t. “—You tend to find what you’re looking for once you stop looking so hard for it. I’m pretty sure she was, as usual, right as rain about that.”

My smile widened, still holding onto the side of his face, understanding exactly what he was implying, and I couldn’t have agreed more with him “Does that mean you found what you were looking for then?”

The look that had been on Russell’s face when I’d sat back off of him after riding it into oblivion reappeared. He looked so serene, so peaceful, so happy.

“Abso-fucking-lutly.”

Chapter 22 (Russell)

We stayed like that for some time, gazing at each other, and for much of it I felt like I was in a daze. My thoughts were all hazy with happiness and I was content to just stay like that, wishing the moment would never end. It was like an altered state of consciousness.

Eventually, my senses started to return along with higher cognitive function, and I blinked the haze out of my eyes and let out a long, happy and contented sigh. I then smiled broadly up at her and shook my head a little. Well, as much as I could in between her incredibly sexy and quite strong thighs.

“Are you doing okay?” she asked gently while running her fingers over my scalp. I let out a low sound of pleasure at how it felt. Lily touched me in ways I had never been touched before and they were making me feel things I had never felt before either.

I nodded, still smiling stupidly. “Yeah…” I took a deep breath, still recovering, but still so very happy. “Yeah, I’m great, Lily. That was… I…” I stammered a little, trying to find the right words to say what I wanted to say and failing. Did the right words even exist to describe that experience and how I was feeling?

“That was wonderful,” I let out a little chuckle, shaking my head again and continued. “And the word wonderful seems like it’s cheapening the experience almost, I—I don’t…” I faded again, unable to articulate it.

She slid down my body, and I watched her pussy get further away with a small sense of loss, but it didn’t change just how very happy I was to have pleased her so well. She leaned forward and gently kissed me on the lips and I let out a small contented moan against them. After, she gently rolled me onto my side and untied the rope that was tight around my wrists, letting me free. I had loved that little bit of bondage during the act. It had set me free to completely surrender to her. The had not been the fancy and intimate shibari type of bondage, but quick and functional and rough. I felt the marks in my wrists where the rope had dug in.

I immediately stretched my arms and then wrapped them around Lily, pulling her into me and wrapping my larger body around hers. I felt so relaxed and just wanted to pull her inside of my warmth and hold and protect this precious woman. I sighed and kissed the top of her head. I just felt so much warmth to her and didn’t always know how to express it, but it seemed appropriate in the moment.

It never even occurred to me that this might be unexpected behavior from a submissive man. I was just doing what came natural, and after that incredible experience, I wanted Lily to know how good I had felt about it and how much I appreciated her for it. In a way though, it also felt like I was regaining a little of the man that I was. I could feel her respond to me holding her after some initial tenseness from her, almost like she had never been held in a protective embrace by a strong man before. Well, she was going to have to get used to it, and I could feel her desire to do just that.

A thought occurred to me.

“So,” I whispered, speaking into the top of her head with a big smile.I squeezed her body more tightly pulling her further into me, hugging her. “How about I can have like…twenty percent.”

“What?” she said, having no idea what I was talking about. When I had pulled her in more tightly and hugged her, I had felt her body relax even more.

“I can be the dominant one twenty percent of the time,” I said, kissing on the top of her head again gently. She immediately jerked her head to look at me and it made me laugh to cause such a quick reaction from her. How I was growing to love shocking her with things that I did and said and keeping her on her toes in her dominance of me. I laughed harder at the incredulous look on her face.

“Well Jesus. O-K. Such a control freak. Ten percent? You can give up a little bit, can’t you?” I said, grinning at her playfully while I ran my fingers over her ass tracing lines against her skin and feeling her shiver from it. That gave me even more confidence that it was a valid path to take.

“In what world did you think you’d ever get to have control in this relationship?” Despite her words, she was smiling at me and it did nothing to temper my growing confidence. She reached up and stroked the side of my face and I nuzzled it briefly as she added, “I don’t think that was the agreement, Russell.”

“Well, Lily,” I replied, emphasizing her name just as she had mine. Well, perhaps with a little more emphasis, starting to feel kind of cocky, the smile never leaving my face. I ran my fingers down her back and onto her ass and then grabbed it roughly. I had grabbed a lot of fine female asses in my time, but never one as fine as hers. My smile deepened as the rough grip made her gasp in response and I doubled down and gave it a smack, thoroughly enjoying myself and the feel of her perfect ass giving way beneath my open palm.

“You know, you act like you want nothing but constant control, constant dictation of every little detail. You want to completely own a guy, your rules, you’re the boss… and…and it’s really fucking sexy, believe me,” I said, still smiling as she stared back at me and waited for me to finish.

As easily as I breathe, I rolled Lily onto her back while simultaneously putting my body over hers, eliciting another gasp of surprise from her and making me let out another cocky laugh. I wrapped her up again, neatly trapping her beneath me quite easily. I moved my mouth on her neck, remembering how it had made her respond before, and kissed and nibbled at it, slowly moving up until I reached her earlobe. I nipped at that too, but very gently, feeling her buck lightly in response beneath me. I placed my mouth against her ear then.

“I think you still like the idea of this big, strong guy protecting you,” I said in a low soft voice right against her ear. “And it doesn’t say anything about you, because I know you’re entirely capable of taking care of yourself. I really like that about you, actually.” Again, I kissed her, and then gently rubbed my nose against her. She let out the softest little sound of pleasure that was unlike any I had heard from her before and I knew I was having the desired effect on her.

“And I say I’d be dominant, but… I think the things I’d want to do to you…” I moved my mouth again, biting more roughly into her neck, this time causing her to moan and buck into me. I smiled and kissed her softly. “The ‘dominant’ things I do that I’m noticing you actually like, whether you choose to admit that or not…” I chuckled a little as my hard and leaking cock pushed into her thigh.

“Those things I don’t think you’re used to, maybe… I think… and maybe I’m completely wrong, but I think they can still be submissive, you know? I’m realizing how much I just want to please you. How much I want to make you happy and see you smile and laugh and be yourself.” I looked up at her and our eyes met. She smiled almost ruefully and shook her head at me.

“See? Exactly. Gorgeous. But… I think you enjoy it sometimes when I do those things, even if you’re not used to thinking you like them. And… I think seeing you enjoy it so much, seeing how it affects you in a positive way, still makes me want to do it sometimes. It makes me want to please you and make you happy. I like seeing that, more than I feel like I ever have with another woman before, even the longer-term girlfriends I’ve had… And it’s sort of connecting for me how it’s still submissive, in its purest form. I think I’ve been more submissive the entire time and it was just disguised.”

I trailed off, and her fingers stroked the side of my face, seemingly lost in what I had been saying. “It was funny, when I first saw you at the club the other night. I was solely convinced that you were—”

“Not my type,” we both said in unison, and then laughed.

“Yeah,” she nodded, still smiling. “I don’t know what came over me, but I still wanted you for my demonstration. There was something about you that I couldn’t put my finger on exactly, but I knew I wanted to know more about you anyway…” she paused and kissed me lightly. “And I’m really glad I did… I mean…like really glad.”

“My uh, my mom used to have this saying,” I started, and my voice was a little strained with pain that I tried to hide. I didn’t want to talk about that right now. Shit, I had never talked to anyone about it. “—You tend to find what you’re looking for once you stop looking so hard for it. I’m pretty sure she was, as usual, right as rain about that.”

Her smile widened, still holding onto the side of my face, like she completely understood and agreed with what I was saying. “Does that mean you found what you were looking for then?”

I recalled exactly how I had felt licking her, hearing her pleasure, feeling such a sense of contentment and happiness at being able to give her that pleasure, all the while feeling helpless to do anything else. I felt my eyes partly close as those feelings of bliss washed over me once again before I replied.

“Abso-fucking-lutly.”
