I sit there for a while afterwards, eyes closed. I've only given them a short sketch of what that night was like, but in telling them those few details I couldn't help but relive them. My breathing has become labored, and I can feel my heart beating faster, other more intimate signs of my bodies excitement making themselves known to me. What will I see when I open my eyes? Will there be amazement in their eyes, naked desire, or an uneasy appearance to them, as they process what I became that night? They've heard of times before when Sean and I had incredible sex, but nothing where I was so vulnerable and overcome before. A Toy. I'm trembling, I haven't told them the worst part of my tale, what I've been like this past eight days.
Finally forcing my eyes open I look at my friends. Megan and Claire are sitting on the edge of their chairs, elbows resting on the table, mouths open and stunned looks on their faces. Helen and Beth are the opposites, sitting back in their chairs with Helen's eyes wide open and hands covering her mouth, while Beth's head is tilted backwards and her eyes are closed. And Tiffany...Tiffany is sitting rigidly upright in her chair, eyes closed with her arms wrapped tightly around her body, and she's shaking. I sit there waiting for someone to say something, but nobody can say anything, whatever emotion they're feeling has left them speechless. I look back and forth at them sitting before me, and manage to squeak out a fearful, "Well?'
A few long seconds go by, finally Megan manages a quiet, "Wow," and the floodgates open.
"Oh my God!' "I almost had an orgasm just hearing you tell us about it!" "You've got tell us all the details, oh my God!" "I've never had that many orgasms in a month, and you had them in one evening!" "You lucky bitch!" "If you ever want to get rid of Sean I've got first dibs!" "Tell us again about the feather!" "No no no, I want to hear what it was like to be restrained, it sounds so fucking hot!" "I am absolutely going to try something like this with Jasmine (Beth)." "Sara, talk to us, what is it about this that has you so unbalanced (Tiffany)?"
Instant silence. All the envious faces a moment ago are replaced by concerned looks as they remember how rattled I was when I came in. Part of me is unhappy with the change, it felt so good to know that none of them thought less of me for what happened, while the other part, though still hesitant, needs to tell them of the emotions I've been consumed by since that night.
"I told you about how I truly became Toy during that night, and how I came back to myself when Sean said he loved me. I..I..dammit, I'm a strong woman, graduated with honors from university, a successful businessperson, I can stand up to anyone! I know that I've always referred to Sean as this incredible alpha male, but I'm his equal, decisions made are our decisions, if I don't like something or want something I speak my mind! But since that night, God!"
"It feels like there's two of me inside my head, one the woman I've always been and the other is Toy! A couple of times this week I've felt like throwing myself at his feet, begging Sir to take me, do whatever he wants to me, if only he'll take me! It's to the point where I can't help but draw back a little when he tries to touch me, afraid of losing control. On Saturday after that night I was exhausted, all I could do was stay in bed, covered up and hiding from the world. Whenever Sean would come in, to ask me if I wanted anything or to bring me food I felt a little frightened, not of him but of what I found within myself. It got better Sunday, I was able to text all of you that I wouldn't be able to join you for brunch, but I was still shaky inside."
"At work I was barely holding on, I probably pushed myself and others around me too much to prove to myself that I was strong, independent, and in control of myself. A couple of my coworkers came to me Thursday afternoon and asked it there was something wrong. I couldn't help but laugh a little hysterically when they did, how do you tell people you work with that your husband sexually dominated you? That you had twelve or more orgasms while he...toyed with your body? I told them that I was having to work through something that was bothering me, and thanked them for asking."
"When I'm at home with Sean we're uneasy with each other. I know I need to talk with him about that night, tell him how overpowering it was for me, but how do I do that when I'm in twisted up about how it affected me? And that's making it hard for him because he's blaming himself for what happened. He hasn't told me he blames himself, but I can tell. I sense that he wants to touch me, hold me, but he's holding back, whether he's trying to give me space or afraid of me flinching away I don't know. I'm hurting him but I can't make myself open up to him!"
"The worst times have been when I've been sleeping at night.. Sean told me that Friday night that I'd be haunted at night by dreams and even though he didn't realize it, that's what he did. The first one I had was like when he lifted my arms up above my head but more...demanding, rougher. My arms were pulled up until I couldn't reach up any more without taking my weight off my heals. He pulled my hair behind me and starting roughly licking and biting my neck while his other hand was behind me mauling my ass. Then he walked behind me and reached around my body and grabbed my bra and ripped it off me. He started squeezing my breasts and pinching my nipples almost to the point of pain, all the while his breath was panting in my ear and he was calling me cock tease and slut and other things! And God help me, I wanted him to do more to my body, hear more! I woke up trembling, my pussy was hot and soaked, and it was an effort of will not to touch myself and have an orgasm."
"The second nightmare Sean was sitting on a large chair, at least I think it was Sean, his face was in shadow. I was on the floor about four yards away and I was naked and afraid. In a loud voice that seemed to be like thunder he demanded I crawl to him and kiss his feet, and I did it. While I was doing it he called me those names again, and said he had many wicked things he was going to do to me. Without warning he grabbed onto my hair with one hand and lifted me up, when I was high enough he grabbed me under my armpit and lifted me up even higher. Both his hands shifted to my hips and he said "Now I'm going to fuck you bitch!" Looking down between out bodies I screamed, his cock was at least 12 inches long and the width of a beer can! I begged him please, please don't Sir, but he lowered me down until I could feel the monstrous cock at my labia and I began to drop farther down, the head of his cock began to slide inside of me. I woke up, how I wasn't screaming I don't know, but I managed to hold it in and not wake Sean up. I got out of bed and went into our living room and trembled violently for I don't know how long, then I went into one of our guest bedrooms. In five years of marriage I've never slept without him beside me!"
"Maybe the worst was a dream about me running, where I was running kept shifting, a forest, a hallway, in the dark where I couldn't see anything. I was being chased by a man and he was catching up to me. In my dream I could feel the terror of what would happen if I was caught, but also the excitement of being caught!"
"There's been others but those were the worst. Sometimes I've forced myself to wake up before they can get very far and others made no sense, just that they about something that I've awakened in myself. As you might expect my sleep this past week has been very poor and that hasn't helped me recover either. I don't know what to do!"
I can feel the tears running down my cheeks and I'm all hunched over, crying and shaking. I needed this, needed to open myself up and get all the screwed up emotions out. I know that later I'll feel better for it, but opening myself to my friends has opened myself up to me also. I've been forcing myself to push that night away, trying to be the person I was before it happened, but confronting all of it has brought all my emotions and memories surging through me!
I feel hands on my shoulders, and look up into Claire's concerned eyes. She gently guides me up to stand, and puts her arms around me, followed quickly by another pair of arms from behind me, and I can feel the soft impact of the others bodies as they join in holding me. It takes me a while but eventually I regain my composure, crying being replaced by slow breaths, tears ceasing to fall from my eyes.
I feel a hand underneath my chin and it turns me to look at Beth. She has this look like she has some demons of her own inside of her. She begins, "I'm a lesbian. I'm in a fantastic relationship with Jasmine, I love her and she loves me, and I can't imagine being without her. We laugh easily together, we belong to each other, and the loving is hot" She tilts her head back, rolls her eyes, and lets out a satisfied moan. The laugh she gets me to make feels good. Then her face gets serious, and I can tell she's going to reveal something that's she's always kept hidden. "I'm a lesbian, but the truth is,"
she takes a deep breath as if to force herself to open up, "the truth is I'm bi-curious. Small shake of her head, laughs nervously. "A bi-curious lesbian!"
