“Nothing heavy duty. Use your safe words if needed.”
“I will, Sir.” And his touch was gone. Crystal kept her eyes downcast toward the stage. She jumped when the tails of the flogger caressed her ass.
“It’s a rabbit fur flogger. Remember when we talked about them?” Jordan’s voice was soft.
“Yes, Sir. Fur on one side of the tail.”
“Correct.” The tails were now trailing up her back to her arm, then over her shoulders to her other arm and down her body.
The shiver that shook her body wasn’t fear; it was anticipation. The first swat hit her ass. Crystal squealed and went up on her toes. But it didn’t hurt. Instead, heat filled her, and her nerves tingled.
Another swat to her left ass cheek, then her right, and back to her left. She clenched her muscles with each one, not in pain but in anticipation and pleasure. It was instinctual.
“Relax, sweetie.” Jordan’s breath caressed her ear as he rubbed her butt. “I can feel the heat flowing off of you. Give in to the sensation. Don’t tighten your muscles.”
“Yes, Sir.” He was right; she needed to relax.
The next swat was in a new spot on her ass, and instead of tensing up, she closed her eyes and relaxed. The next three swats made her feel like her blood was on fire. Every nerve in her body was awake and humming with need.
“So beautiful.” Jordan’s hand caressed her ass once again. “One more set.”
The swats this time were different. More…thuddy, that was the word. They didn’t hurt; there was force behind the strikes, but not so much as to make it painful.
No, the flogger caressed her skin. She didn’t know how to process the sensations. Each hit took her body higher and higher. Pleasure wove its way through her veins. Her nipples were tight, and her pussy throbbed.
Then the flogger stopped. Crystal’s head fell forward as she tried to catch her breath.
“You are so fucking responsive.” Jordan’s voice was husky as he released her arm restraints. Crystal practically fell into his arms. “Okay, sweetie?”
“Fine.” She turned her head and placed a kiss on his chin. “I love you.”
Jordan’s grin was huge. “I love you too.” He swept her into his arms and carried her into the aftercare section. “Be right back.”
Crystal watched as he cleaned up the station and stored the flogger back in his bag along with her skirt. Then grabbed a blanket before returning to her.
“How did you like your first flogging?” He wrapped the blanket around her before pulling her into his arms.
“Different and I want to do it again.” She grinned up at him.

Jordan couldn’t describe the emotions flowing through him. The closest he could come was love, devotion, and happiness. Things he hadn’t felt in a very long time. Crystal did that for him. She’d taken the spanking and then asked for more.
Flogging her had taken control. He hadn’t planned on flogging her tonight, but when she asked, he could hear the need in her voice. Crystal’s eyes lit up, and Jordan realized it was time. She was ready to take the step.
He’d given her a couple of swats with his hand before he took her to the stage with the St. Andrew’s Cross. His Crystal. His arm tightened around her, and she didn’t blink or express any concern.
She trusted him. It was humbling and euphoric at the same time. He was so lucky she’d come into his life.
“You were fantastic up there,” he whispered.
“Thank you. I enjoyed the feel of your flogger on my skin and the way you caressed my ass as heat flowed through my body.”
“For your first time, you did well. Was it as you thought it would be?”
“Once you told me to relax, yes. The sensations cascading through my body, the pleasure—not pain.”
“I’m glad.”
