Chapter 19: Reversal

The twelfth spread dried on the desk at nine on Sunday night.

I signed it, and I scanned it, and I sent all twelve to my editor with a shaking finger.

Then I turned around in my chair.

Lena was sitting on the floor by the radiator with her back against the wall.

A half-finished bookshelf plank lay across her knees.

She had been there since five in the morning.

She had planed that plank one patient stroke at a time.

She had not said a word about it.

Wood shavings curled around her boots.

"Sent," I said.

She put down the plane.

"All twelve?"

"All twelve."

"Good girl."

I went hot to my toes.

She stood, brushing shavings from her knees, and looked at me with her head tilted.

"What do you want to do now?" she said.

"You know."

"Tell me."

I crossed the room and took the black harness from the hook behind the door.

I held it up between us.

"I want to take you to bed," I said. "And I want you to let me."

Her breath caught.

"Here?"

"Upstairs. In my bed. The iron one."

"The one I tied you to."

"I'll tie you."

She went very still, and I watched her throat move.

Then she took the harness from my hand and set it on the desk.

"Go on," she said. "Give me orders."

I had never done it before.

My heart was knocking against my ribs, and I found that the words came easily.

"Undress," I said. "Slowly."

She took off her flannel first, button by button, her eyes on mine.

Then the T-shirt, then her boots, then her jeans.

She stood in front of me in the lamplight with her chain and ring and her silver hair.

For the first time since I had met her, she looked a little afraid.

"Get on the bed. On your back."

She walked to the iron bed and lay down.

The springs creaked.

I took the harness and the smooth purple silicone cock and fitted them together with fumbling fingers.

I stepped into it, and I tightened the straps over my hips.

It looked absurd on my round little body.

Lena looked at me and her face went open and hungry.

"Come here," she said, faintly.

"No. You wait."

I knelt on the bed between her thighs.

I slid my palms up the insides of her legs, and I watched her spread them without being told.

"You're so wet already."

"Yes."

"Did you think about this at the meeting?"

"Mina."

"Answer me."

"Yes. All week."

I leaned down and kissed her.

I kissed her slow and hard, with my body flat against hers and the silicone resting hot against her thigh.

Her hands came up to my back, and I caught her wrists.

"No. Hold the bars."

She reached above her head and held the iron rungs.

I took my time with her.

I kissed her breasts and bit her nipples until she hissed.

I licked down her stomach, over her hip bones, along the inside of her thigh.
