Beg for Harper 800 356 6169My friend came to me for help.

He needed a healthy outlet for all the stress he’d been under. His usual methods for letting off steam just weren’t cutting it any more, and the feeling of pressure, of itching skin and the dangerous need for stimulation weren’t letting him go, no matter what he did. Highly intelligent, witty and urbane, my friend was facing an existential crisis. So he did the only sane thing left to him. He asked for help.

In the most vulnerable and trusting moment of his life, he asked me to give him a safe haven.

How could I possibly say ‘no’ to that? To be so cruel as to turn away my friend, to leave him to suffer in his own body, held prisoner to his own flesh. I couldn’t. It’s not in me. So we sat down and had a talk. We negotiated. He agreed to obey me, to listen to my words, to do as I told him. I agreed to give him sensation, to bring him both a touch of pain and a frisson of pleasure, to be there for him, strong and resolute, to be the rock he could break open upon.

He asked me to let him beg.

This was not a light request, mind you. Oh, no. Never a light request. I know what it means when a strong man begs, when a mind like his needs to be silenced into the animal flesh, when a wit and an ego face the drive towards disillusionment. It would take effort on my part, to bring him to that brink, to shepherd him over it, and to cushion his landing on the other side. I relished the challenge.

He needed to let go and beg for release, for touch.

And yet he still couldn’t quite get there. So I’d have to help him. With my hands and with my tools I drove the thoughts from his mind, leaving him gasping in his body, swaying to my touch and whimpering. Still, he couldn’t beg. He panted, he moaned, he gasped out to me “I, I. Shit. I can’t. I… can’t.” He needed more. This was him, asking for more of my help.

One last tool in my arsenal.

A slim toy, flexible and dark; in my hands, the evil stick delivers stinging sensation and overwhelming pleasure. I pulled his left knee out, flexing at the hip, opening him. Still with his hands on the wall, unmoving, just opening the hips for me. I used the toy, the stick, on his tender inner thighs. Each stinging impact drawing a high moan from him, trembling across his legs and back. Thin red lines, crosshatched across his sensitive flesh, and then my cool hands smoothing over him. Soothing again, bringing pleasure to ease the pain. Raising endorphins and serotonin.

My hands on his hips held him still, my strap on between his cheeks teasing over his hidden places.

I leaned close to him, again. “One word. That’s all. You can say it for me. ‘Please.'” He shook, his hips moving with no mind behind them, rolling and seeking friction. Pink tongue flicking across his lips, gasping breath, and he leaned into me. “Please. Please, please, please. Please.” He panted his words with each breath, chanting unendingly “Please.”
