Checklist J, K, L

Thanks to the announcement of the game, Las Palmas was as full as she’d ever seen it.

Not that she could see all that well, but the glimpses she did get verified what she could hear—plenty of people to go with all those voices.

When she’d been topping, she’d known the face and name of every sub, but that had been several years ago at this point. People changed, as did the population of the club, but she knew a handful of other members well enough to know their names and say hello.

How many of those acquaintances were watching her now? Were they shocked to see her so delicately bound and being led by a leash?

She and Grif were walking slowly—necessary given her limited vision and bare feet. The outdoor spaces of the club were one of the reasons Las Palmas didn’t have a “stiletto or bare feet” rule for submissives, which was relatively common in other clubs.

Each step caused the chains to click and jangle together in a delicate symphony. And with every breath, the chain he’d wrapped around her pulled just tight enough against her clit to make her aware of it, but not tight enough to be painful—which she would have welcomed—or loose enough to be ignored.

They finally settled down in the courtyard of the Sub Rosa Court, so named for the wild desert roses that climbed the support posts and created a canopy overhead, woven in and out of the pergola-like beams that provided partial covering to the courtyard. Though they had very little scent, she caught glimpses of the small, pale flowers and from that knew where they were.

Grif’s hands at her waist guided her to turn. When he pushed down, indicating she should sit, she instinctively reached for his shoulders to steady herself. She reached up and the chains attached to her cuffs pulled taught, jerking on the other chains wrapped around her body.

She yelped and wobbled, the ball gag dropping from her mouth. For a terrible moment, she thought she would fall over. Her legs were free, but if she fell she wasn’t sure she’d be able to catch herself with her hobbled arms.

Grif was there, one arm coming around her back, pulling her against his chest. “I’ve got you, I’ve got you,” he murmured.

“I forgot.” She let her temple rest against his jaw.

“About the wrist chains?”

“Yes.”

“Did you hurt yourself?”

“No. Well, not in a bad way, Master.” Both the plug and nipple cages had jerked when she reached out. Her right nipple was throbbing just enough to make her hate the stupid cages anew.

His lips fluttered against her cheek. “I wish I had the words to tell you how hearing that makes me feel.”

“When I call you Master?”

“Yes.”

There was a reason she hadn’t done it before. A reason that no longer seemed important.

“Ready to sit, Minx?”

“Yes, Master.”

Grif eased her away from his body, once more holding her hips. She grabbed his forearms and blindly lowered herself. It was a good thing he was holding her, because she sank down further than she’d anticipated. Her butt came to rest on a low stool, not a chair.

“Spread your legs and slide your feet back. I want your ankles on either side of the footstool.”

It took a moment—and his help—before she was in position. Her knees were spread, legs folded up almost as if she were crouching—knees and ankles bent, her toes on the flagstone of the terrace.

Grif’s hands slid under all that chain, his wide palm stroking her stomach. She had a brief moment of self-consciousness. Sitting like this was going to give her a little stomach pooch. She probably looked unattractive, and she should always do her best to be visually pleasing.

Davina frowned, the thought jarring, twin spikes of self-loathing and anxiety piercing her serenity.

She shook it off. This was Grif. He’d seen her, touched her, every way there was. He knew her body as well as she did, in some ways maybe even better. He knew that no one could sit like this and not have a roll or two somewhere.

So why was she all of a sudden worried and self-conscious?

Chains shifted, and she felt tugs at her throat and nipples.

“I’m switching things up a little. Now that you’re sitting, I want to add to the bondage.” His hand followed the line of her leg down to her right foot. He tapped her instep. “Up.”

Shifting her weight she managed to raise her knee enough to lift her right foot off the ground.

Grif looped chain around her big toe, fastening it back on itself.

“Toe tie?” she asked softly.

“Connected to the nipple cages.”

He repeated the process on the other side.

Minus the sensation of having something around each big toe, she didn’t feel any new or additional tension. As long as she didn’t move, she’d be fine.

It was only then that she realized her seated position meant he had limited access to her pussy and ass. When they’d started this scene, and she’d seen the chair, one of her first thoughts had been hoping she wouldn’t be sitting on it.

“Let’s take this off for a while.” Grif removed the blindfold portions of the headpiece, while leaving the chain circlet around her head.

She blinked a few times, trying to clear her vision, then glanced around. This was considered the quietest of the courtyards, with only a small “stage” area, and plenty of intimate seating arrangements tucked amid winding paths and lovely desert landscaping.
