Her eyes were glassy, her expression serene.

He steadied her as he worked to lower her, guiding her back down to the floor as he untied the ropes and gave them slack.

She slumped against him.

He kept one hand on her, working the ropes free from her body until he needed both of his hands.

"Hold on to me if you need to.”

She held on to his waist as he undid his passes, loosened the knots.He worked as fast as he could, until finally the rope pooled around her feet.

She stumbled into him and he scooped her up in his arms and carried her to the bed.

He set her against the pillows, leaning her against the upholstered headboard.

"I'll be right back.”

From the bathroom he grabbed a jar of cream and then from the rope room's mini fridge he took out a bottle of water.

Rushing back to her he handed her the bottle.

"Drink."

She took it.

Because she trusted him.

He wasn't the kind of Dom that wanted to be a full time dominant.The demands of his day-to-day responsibilities demanded that he be in control, but he needed someone to give him their trust.

He liked being in control when it came to play.

Every time Josie followed his gentle command, he realized how much he needed to be a giver.

She set the water down on the floating ledge.

"I loved it.Flying through the air knowing those ropes were going to have me, knowing you weren't going to let anything bad happen to me...I loved every moment.”

And I love you.

But he didn't say the words.

He brushed his hand along her spine

"How does your skin feel?'

“Sensitive, like it remembers the feel of rope.Look at these marks.”

She fingers the marks left from the rope along her hips and on top of her breast.

"Let me massage this cream on to you.Lay on your back.”

She sighed, stretching out like a contented cat.He opened the jar, took some cream in his hand and started at her ankles; he massaged her.

Her calves were so tight.But she sighed under his touch and he kept working up her body to her hips, then down to her ass.

"That feels so good.It smells nice.”

"It's arnica and aloe,” Ares concentrated on her back, sweeping up to her shoulders, down along her arms.
