An Unlocked Heart(Collars & Cuffs Stories) (30 page)

Alex was dimly aware of Leo speaking on the phone system, but if he were perfectly honest, he wasn’t paying much attention—his jaw was too busy hitting the floor once he spied the contents of the cupboard. It was a BDSM lover’s idea of paradise. First there were the cuffs: leather, metal, padded…. Then came the toys, and Alex’s cock jerked as he surveyed the range of dildos, plugs, vibrators, prostate massagers, and anal beads. Inside, Alex gave a whoop of delight. It was a good thing he had a job to go to, otherwise Alex would never leave this room! His breathing sped up, however, as he caught sight of the various canes, whips, riding crops, floggers, paddles, not to mention the different types of rope.

“Enjoying yourself, boy?” Leo definitely sounded amused, and Alex looked at him, embarrassed.

Suddenly, Alex’s eyes looked past Leo to stare at the wall behind him… where a St. Andrew’s cross was fastened against the wall. He gazed at the rings set into the wood, chains hanging there…. Alex was so engrossed in his perusal he hardly noticed Leo’s quiet movement across the floor until the Dom was standing beside him.

“Tell me what you’re thinking, boy.” The words were uttered quietly but compellingly.

Alex couldn’t tear his eyes away from the wooden frame. In his mind, he could already feel the smooth surface against his skin, him standing there shivering as he anticipated Leo’s touch, the thrust of Leo’s cock….

“Boy?”

Alex shook himself. “Sorry, Sir.” He shivered. “Just got carried away, thinking about….” He broke off as Leo leisurely trailed a hand down his spine, fingers tracing the curve of his ass before sliding into his crease. Alex let out a startled cry as Leo gripped the butt plug and pulled at it slightly before releasing it as his body held it prisoner.

Leo leaned closer, his breath warm against Alex’s ear. “Want to fuck you, boy.”

Alex closed his eyes and shivered, a delicious frisson rippling uncontrollably through his body as Leo’s whispered words took effect. Oh God, he fucking
loved
it when Leo talked dirty—and Leo knew it. Once again the butt plug was jostled in his ass, and Alex pushed out a low cry of anticipation.

“Oh yeah, want to be balls-deep in this tight ass.” Suddenly Leo’s hand slid away, and Alex opened his eyes with a groan of frustration. Leo’s eyes were on him, and he hastily lowered his gaze. “You’ve been a credit to me tonight, boy, and that deserves a reward, so… you get to choose. What do you want to do tonight?”

Alex let out a long, drawn-out shudder. He was so fucking turned on, and his body was crying out to be taken. Drawing in a deep, steadying breath, he tried to find his focus. “Please, Sir, I want you to tie me to the cross over there and fuck me, hard.”

A low moan from Leo told Alex just how turned on his Dom was by Alex’s response. “Okay, then we’ll need some cuffs for your wrists and ankles. You can choose which cuffs I use.”

Alex peered into the cupboard, his eyes widening as he saw exactly what he wanted. He reached into the cupboard, pulled out some metal cuffs, and handed them to Leo, his eyes cast low. He heard Leo’s sharp intake of breath and watched as he ran his fingers over the edges of the cuffs.

“Wouldn’t you rather use some leather cuffs, or maybe padded ones?” Alex loved the note of concern in Leo’s voice. “These might hurt or chafe you if you pull tight against them, boy.”

Alex smiled. “Actually, Sir, that’s kind of the point.” He paused, breathing deeply. “I-I want them to leave marks, Sir. I… I want to wear your marks. I want to look at my wrists and remember exactly how those marks got there.” There was a moment’s pause, and then Leo was taking his mouth in a fiercely passionate kiss. Alex was unable to refrain from bringing his arms up to clutch Leo’s back as the kiss deepened. At last they parted, Alex breathing heavily, his whole body tingling with anticipation.

“Undress me, boy.” Leo’s voice was husky with arousal.

Fingers working nimbly, Alex removed the white silk shirt, running his hands lightly over Leo’s chest with its layer of downy hair before kneeling down to undo the fly of Leo’s tight black leather pants. The outline of his cock was clearly visible, and Alex shivered as he lowered the zipper to find Leo’s cock already hard and wanting. Not wishing to delay for even a second, Alex removed Leo’s boots and socks before sliding the pants down past his hips, tugging them until Leo was standing naked before him, legs apart, his cock fully erect and jutting out from his body. Alex licked his lips at the sight. He couldn’t help it—the man’s cock was mouthwatering, and it was an almost Pavlovian response on Alex’s part.

Leo’s deep chuckle rolled out. “See something you like, boy?” Alex moaned softly, nodding. Another chuckle. “Then have at it.”

Hell, yeah
…. Alex didn’t need to be told twice.

Hungrily, Alex held Leo’s cock around the base as he began to work the solid flesh with his mouth and tongue. His other hand cupped Leo’s heavy balls, and he grinned around a mouthful of hard cock as Leo groaned. Sucking him deeper, Alex began to hum, tightening his lips around the shaft as he started to bob his head faster now, relishing Leo’s increasingly louder moans and cries.

“That’s enough!” Leo exclaimed, slightly breathlessly, startling Alex momentarily from his highly enjoyable task. Leo pulled his dripping cock from Alex’s mouth and pushed him to the floor, facedown.

Alex grunted as he found himself lying on the polished surface, his aching cock trapped between his belly and the floor, still trussed up in its cock ring. Leo grabbed hold of his hips, tilted his ass higher, and roughly pulled apart his ass cheeks. Alex groaned, his face pressed against the floor.
Oh yeah, come on, Leo, fuck me, take me, fucking
plow
my ass….

“Think you’ve worn this for long enough, boy.”

Alex let out a harsh cry as the butt plug was slid out of his ass in one quick movement. His hands scrabbled frantically against the polished floorboards, desperate to grab hold of something as Leo used his thumbs to spread his hole wide. He then proceeded to fuck him with his tongue, licking into his tight channel, thumbs pressing into him, stretching him, opening him up.

“Oh, yes, Sir, yes!” Alex tried to grab hold of his aching cock, but Leo batted his hand away, pulling free of Alex’s hole, which clenched and relaxed.

“Remember, boy, that’s my cock now. You know better than to touch without permission.”

Alex moaned softly. “I-I’m sorry, Sir.” He brought his hands to rest near his head, flat on the floor. Leo hummed in approval before returning to his task of rimming Alex almost to the point where he wanted to scream.
Oh fuck
… if Leo kept this up, he was going to come… and Alex didn’t know if he had enough self-control to hold it back. Leo pulled his face from where it was buried between Alex’s cheeks, and Alex shuddered in relief.

“Ready, boy?” Even without seeing his face, Alex knew Leo was grinning. Alex gave a quick nod, and suddenly found himself hauled to his feet and propelled across the room to the cross without being given a moment to think. Leo briskly snapped shut the metal cuffs, first around his ankles, then his wrists. He proceeded to attach the wrist cuffs to the chains hanging from the frame with double snaps, bringing his hands above his shoulders. “You can pull on these chains, boy, they’re quite secure. And it’s better to have something to hold onto.”

Alex caught hold of the short lengths of chain and tugged experimentally. And then the reality of his situation rolled over him. He was chained to a wooden frame, spread-eagled, naked, and his Dom was about to fuck him to within an inch of his life… if he was lucky. He became still as Leo attached the ankle cuffs to the frame.

Alex felt the touch of Leo’s hand on his back. Beats of silence… and then his hand slid down to caress his ass, squeezing it.

“This is a gorgeous ass, boy, but it definitely needs something.” Leo chuckled. There was a brief moment’s silence, and then he spoke again, only this time with so much intensity Alex caught his breath. “Boy, I want to mark your ass. I want to use my tawse on you.”

Alex suddenly felt as if the air had been sucked from his lungs. It was the last thing he’d expected to hear. He struggled to breathe evenly as Leo’s hand continued to caress his ass. Alex’s heart was hammering behind his ribs.
Ohfuckohfuckohfuck….

“Have I pushed you too far, boy?”

Alex could hear the note of anxiety underlying Leo’s question, and in that moment, he was ashamed of himself. He was okay with Leo fucking him, binding his hands, tying him up, but the first time Leo wanted him to submit to something outside his comfort zone, his courage got up and fled the room? What kind of submissive did that make him? It certainly wasn’t a sub who
truly
accepted his Dom’s domination, which is what he’d agreed to do. Instead, he’d just caused his Dom to doubt Alex’s commitment.

Alex took a deep breath. Time to man up. “Sir, I’m sorry for my initial reaction. Please forgive me. I’m your submissive: my body is yours to do with as you will.” He waited, his shoulders and back tense.
Come on, Leo, please….

Leo grabbed Alex’s head by the hair and tilted it back, Leo’s mouth on his, the kiss fiercely passionate. Alex moaned at its force, Leo’s hand loose around his throat as he plunged his tongue deep, his fingers holding onto Alex’s hair.

Gasping, Leo released him, his pupils so large there was barely a sliver of blue around the iris. “I am so fucking proud of you right now, boy.”

Alex’s heart leaped at his words. Leo moved out of his line of sight for a moment, only to return with the tawse. Alex glanced down at the contents of his hands. The tawse was about sixteen inches long, a thinnish strap of stiff leather split into two at the end, like a snake’s forked tongue. Leo turned Alex’s hand palm up and brought the tawse down onto it, not harshly but firmly, allowing him to feel its impact.

Alex’s heart began to beat faster. This was really going to happen, and suddenly Alex wanted this, craved it with every fiber of his being.

“I’m ready, Sir.”

Twenty-Four

A
LEX
stood, his head slightly bowed, as he waited for the first blow to land on his ass. He breathed deeply, focusing on keeping still and ready for Leo.

“You’re going to count for me, boy, just like you did when I spanked you, okay?”

Alex felt calm flood through him at these words. “Yes, Sir.”

“But you’re going to thank me for each stroke, as well. Do you understand?”

Alex nodded once. The instructions helped him to settle, to focus on bringing his body, his reactions, his emotions under Leo’s control. “Yes, Sir.”

“Then let’s begin.”

Alex gripped the chains tightly—and cried out as the first stroke of the tawse landed on the fleshy part of his left ass cheek, sounding loud against his skin as it struck.
Fuck, that stung!

“That’s it, boy, I want to hear you make noise tonight.” Leo’s voice was steady and calm, and Alex felt some measure of that calm flow into him.

“One, Sir, thank you.” The sharpness of the pain began to bleed away, leaving his ass stinging. Alex sensed movement as Leo swung back his arm, and he prepared himself to accept another stroke. The tawse landed with a loud smack against his right cheek this time, and the freshness and brightness of it brought tears to Alex’s eyes. “T-two, Sir, th-thank you.”

“Fuck, boy, you take my strokes so well.” Alex could hear the pride in Leo’s voice, and his heart leaped. “Does it feel good, boy?”

“Oh God,
yes
, Sir!” Alex couldn’t find the words to tell Leo
why
it felt so good. He only knew when the tawse connected with his flesh, the sensation was so erotic he felt he could come just from it alone. But added to that was the realization he was taking this from Leo, his Dom…. The combination of thought and physical sensation was a heady brew, and Alex was suddenly fighting hard to stave off orgasm.

Thwack
! The third stroke landed near the crease where ass met thigh, and Alex groaned. “Three, Sir. Thank you.” Alex was starting to shake. Leo was leaving enough time between strokes to let him fully absorb each bright flash of pain, and Alex was grateful for the opportunity to sink into the sensations coursing through him. His cock was rock-hard, the cock ring tight around him, and he hoped to God Leo would let him come. Because Alex was facing a real battle to keep his mind off his hovering orgasm.

“Stay with me, boy, stay focused.” Leo’s unruffled voice broke through, concentrating his thoughts as the tawse landed more heavily than the previous strokes.

Alex cried out, the sound torn from him involuntarily. “F-four, Sir.” Alex shuddered as he felt the pain subside, leaving behind a delicious tingling in his ass. “Thank you, Sir.” Suddenly everything in his world had shrunk to the tawse connecting with his ass and the erotically charged atmosphere in the room. Low moans escaped his lips as he felt himself almost
losing
himself in sensation, the world somehow seeming less real momentarily.
