He nodded, a little shakily.
“Use your words, omega.”
“Yes, alpha.” That word sounded almost as good as sir.
Helping him to lie down on the bench, I smoothed my hands over his back in reassurance. “Ready for this?”
“Y-yes, sir.”
“You can do it.”
He lay face down, that sweet ass raised by the structure of the bench.
“I need you to keep your hands at your sides. If at any time, you don’t feel like you can do that, say yellow and tell me.”
“What will you do?”
“I will bind them for your safety, okay?”
“Yes, alpha.”
“You’re very brave, omega.”
I didn’t plan this to go long, since it was his first time and there was more to the experience than just the spanking. Getting to this point alone was a lot for most beginners.
I rubbed his ass cheeks in circles, warming the skin and speaking encouragement to him. As he moved restlessly, I tapped him with the flat of my palm. One cheek, the next, then both together, adding pressure and speed. Trace stilled and so did I, watching to see his reaction. Even with this gentle spanking, his bottom had reddened, faint fingerprints showing. He’d cried out a couple of times.
“How are you? Color?”
“Green, sir.” But he sounded tired. And I wanted this to be a good memory for him.
“Then I think we’re going to leave it green.” I helped him off the bench. “Let me help you dress.”
Chapter Ten
Trace
Azlan didn’t say much as he escorted me with his hand on my back out of the club and into the cool night air. I loved the nights here in the desert. The heavy winds. The chill of the sunless evening. Such a contrast to the days where one second outside brought a line of sweat down my spine.
Tonight the chill was even more needed. I stopped when we arrived at a private area and thought about sitting down but then, after what I’d just experienced, decided not to.
“Are you okay?” Azlan asked. He came to stand in front of me, his brow furrowed with concern.
I thought I would enjoy the spanking from a sexual perspective. And I did. Feeling his palm slam into my backside over and over thrilled me, and I wanted this alpha more than ever.
“I didn’t expect…” I swiped at my cheek, realizing there were tears flowing down my face. I even brought my hand up to look at the tears, not believing it.
“Baby, did I hurt you? You didn’t forget your safe word?”
I let out a laugh. “I didn’t realize what a release it would be. Each strike…it was like an outlet for all the things I keep bottled up inside me. I never…pain is…it freed me. I’ve never been so calm. Is that weird?”
Leave it to me to be weird after the most amazing experience of my life.
“It’s not weird at all. I’m glad you enjoyed it. If this was different. If we weren’t at a resort, I would take you home and get you into a bath. Take care of you. Aftercare is important.”
“I can see you doing that. You seem like the kind of alpha who takes care of his…date.”
Azlan stepped forward and grazed his knuckles across my cheek. “This was more than a date, Trace.” He bent down to kiss my cheek. and my whole body responded to his touch.
