He backed towards the couch, taking me with him. He sat and then
settled me on his lap, straddling his legs with my own. I felt him reach up to
touch the blindfold gently over my eyes then both hands stretched towards the
back intending to untie it. I lifted my hand and stopped him.
“No, please, let me keep it,” I asked.
“That’s what I want to talk to you about, love,” he said gently. “You
surprised me, and I need to check in with you.” His hands hadn’t moved, and
still gripped the knot at the back of my head. “What if I promised that you can
have it back very soon,” he asked.
“Alright,” I said, resigned to his decision. “I’d like that.”
He deftly untied the knot and slowly I felt the silk fabric fall away
from my face, my eyes still closed. It was dark when I opened them. When did
he turn off the light? I blinked a few times, adjusting, and when I met his
eyes I found him studying me. It was difficult to describe the look on his
face, part concern, part curiosity, and all overlaid with deep desire. I
smiled, my heart warmed at the sight of this beautiful man.
“Why didn’t you tell me?” he asked. I assumed he meant why didn’t I
tell him that I liked to be blindfolded, that it turned me on. My hands rested
in his open palms.
“Well it’s not the kind of thing I talk about on a first date,” I
answered pertly, conveniently forgetting that this was, in fact, our third.
“And I’ve never had anyone ask me before. It’s always been me asking a
lover to blindfold me for sex.” I paused, dropping my gaze and staring at a
point on his chest. His hair was nice and dark there. I collected my thoughts
as he listened quietly. “I was delighted and surprised that you wanted to. And
you looked so concerned about me,” I smiled and he gave me one in return, “it
seemed very important to you and so I decided to go with it and to trust you.
And that’s what you wanted, right? For me to trust you,” I finished
questioningly.
“Yes, of course I did. It’s only,” he paused, his hands not completely
relaxed but not yet grasping my wrists, “I didn’t expect you to respond the way
you did. I’ve never had someone like it so much before.” I noticed his
lower lip was trapped between his teeth, a sign of meaningful thought. His eyes
darted back and forth between mine, willing me to understand. “My partners have
always gone along with it to please me, knowing that I liked it, but never
really enjoying it so much as you did in just those few minutes.” He looked a
little hurt and I could see the memories passing through his mind reflected in
his face.
“You did it for me too, didn’t you, because you wanted to please me.
That’s why you didn’t tell me at first.” I nodded but stayed quiet. “But also
for yourself, because you wanted to feel what it was like not to have to be the
one to ask.” I smiled, pleased that he’d worked that one out.
“I would have, eventually,” I told him, “when I was more comfortable.
Assuming we, err, made it that far.” I blushed slightly at this.
“I think we’re going to make it that far,” he chuckled, grinning
broadly as he pulled me to him. I reveled in the nearness of him. My denim
skirt was almost up around my waist and I could feel the bulge of him through
my underwear. I breathed in his scent, his hands on my bottom as he kissed me
fiercely. I was wet, and I could smell my own arousal, so certainly he could
too. His hands moved up into my hair and he grasped the bulk of it behind my
head. I groaned in pleasure. He used his leverage to pull my mouth away from his
and I resisted, enjoying the taste of him too much, but he won. He searched my
face with a look of earnest.
“There’s so much I want to ask you,” he stated, “about your past, your
experiences, your desires, and I want to know why. I want to know how it feels
for you. I need to understand you,” he finished urgently.
“Of course,” I replied gently as he relaxed his hold on my hair and
dropped his hands to embrace my own. “I can’t even describe what a joy it will
be to talk about it with you, and how much I want that too.” His slightly
worried look was back and I wondered what was going through his mind. I touched
his face and leaned forward to kiss him lightly.
“But right now,” he said quietly as I was only an inch away, “It’s
enough to know that you like the blindfold.”
“Yesss,” the sound escaped and my eyes closed automatically. His mouth
closed over mine.
