“Ready.”

As he connected the rope from the harness to the ring, the ropes tugged across her skin.

Ares pressed a hand on her shoulder.

“You are going to feel a pull but I need you to stay flat on your feet.Your instinct might be to go up on your toes.Resist that instinct.”

“Okay,” she whispered.She concentrated on pushing her feet into the rug, planting them, even as she felt being pulled up from the ground.

“Beautiful,” he leaned down, skimmed his lips along her belly, making her giggle.

“Now we attach the hip harness.”

Ares picked up another length of rope, then ran it under the rope that was nestled on top of her thigh.

She tried to follow his movements but her heartbeat increased with every brush against her pussy.

The snap of the carabiner caused her to startle, meeting his intense green eyes.She watched as he brought the line of rope up and pulled the rest through the ring.He then stood in front of her, drawing the rope down.

“Here we go.”

“This is actually happening.”

“Yes, and you look so hot.You trust me, baby?”

“Yes, I trust you,” her voice wobbled as she said the words but that was because of nerves.It wasn’t because of this man standing in front of her, about to hoist her in the air.

“Let’s go,” He stood right between her, pulled on the rope.

Her heart galloped so fast in her chest; she couldn’t breathe.

She felt a firm grasp, a pull, registered that she was off the ground but every muscle in her body tensed.She closed her eyes.Felt another pull.

“Open your eyes, sweet girl.”

“My friends and my family tell me that I don’t like going out of my comfort zone.They’re right.I like knowing what’s going to happen.”

“What’s happening is you are in my ropes.Take a look.”

With her heart in her throat, she opened her eyes.She swung her arms; the motion made her body sway.

The rope cut into her skin but it felt secure.

Safe.

“Oh…this feels…” she didn't know how to explain it.But she was suspended in air.She had a view of the beam above her and below her, there was the golden rug.But between those two points, she was suspended, swaying gently in a rope basket.

Nothing mattered.

Except for how she swayed by how she stretched her arms and pointed her toes.

She giggled.

Adrenaline roiled through her veins, hot and fast, making her head swim.

“Josie, how are you?”His eyes were banked with smouldering heat.

“Four feet in the air in your ropes is my new happy place.Thank you.Thank you.”she didn't think she could stop saying it, so she stopped herself and tested out how much movement she had in the ropes.
