Chapter 21

Heinrich

"How long will you be away?"

"Just a few days."

“You’ll make it back in time?”

I took her mouth into a deep kiss. Making sure she could feel me all over. I left her standing there with my heart in her hand, and closed the front door firmly.

As soon as she was out of my sight, I lost it.

Leaving had never been harder. And neither has my cock.

Life without Nyla wasn’t worth living.

Of course, I’d known that for a while. Ever since she left I have had no desire to be without her. It had only been two days and I was going stir-fucking-crazy. The meeting could have been postponed but I had to have time away to evaluate my feelings. As well as my next move.

Part of me wishes that she was here so that I could drive my cock deep inside of her until there’s no way to see where she began and I end. Instead, I pull my phone out and give Clover a call. I need his expertise.

Nyla

Heinrich, leans in and takes my mouth into a deep kiss. I feel him all over. This is the kiss that every woman dreams of. The one that she can feel so deep that there's no question of her partner's love. As I watch him walk away I feel the ache of loneliness.

I’m officially lost.

Not physically. Emotionally.

I run a hot bath as I need something to soothe me.

The soapy, warm water soothes me, and I lay there in the marble bathtub, staring up at the chandelier, trying not to think about anything. Especially not about the fact that he may not make it to my show. The show that has been inspired by him, by us, by our love. I close my eyes and the image of my first piece comes to mind.

The bound woman. Hands bound behind my back, blindfolded with my chin up looking into the sky, on my knees, naked with a pool of water surrounding me.

I procrastinated for another half an hour by pretending to be busy in the bathtub, cleaning myself. There was nothing I wanted more in this moment than to be bound and submitting to his every desire.

I sigh and reluctantly decide I’d pruned enough and it was time to get out. After having a quick rinse in the shower, I dabbed myself dry with a big, fluffy white towel and then wrapped myself in a robe.

It was going to be fine, I told myself. I’ll just occupy my damn time. The phone caught my attention as Molly’s name flashed across the screen.

“Hey Ny, what are you up to?”

“Hey, just got out of the tub.”

“Trouble in paradise?”

"I miss him more than I've missed anyone."

"I love you to Ny." Molly says and we both share a quick chuckle. "I should totally fly out there!"

"No, you already have to fly out for Clover and Xavier's wedding. I'm a big girl Moll."

"I can be a distraction from you missing your master."

"He's not my master. We're together." I spoke the last part hesitantly.

"That may be true but you two are into something some will only dream of. I have thought about the sub and Dom relationship. Honestly how is it?"

"Honestly, it's freeing. I feel like although I release power to him, I still have power. It's a deeper connection than one I've ever shared with anyone. It's about trust."

"Do you trust him?"

I'd never been asked that question and truth is, I do. I trust him with everything I have. Which scares me and almost makes me want to run. I feel as if we will never have a normal relationship. Well, I honestly have had normal relationships and they all left me wanting more. Heinrich makes me want more of him every second of every day. Could it be that it was him I was waiting for all these years?

"Hello! Nyla, you there?"

"Yeah, I'm here just lost in thought."

"You really do miss him."

"I do miss him." I say sighing into the phone. "And I keep telling myself that space is healthy and it will increase our bond."

"It's Heinrich. If anything he'll be back tomorrow morning." She says playfully.

"I've never felt like this Moll, and it scares me."

"I know you are, but he's different."

"He is. But there's a piece of me that says, all men are the same. He's rich and powerful. There are women throwing themselves at his feet day and night."

"But he's with you." She says trying to talk some sense into me. "I bet he's going to do something outrageous for you when he comes back to town."

"I just hope he shows up." I say and even I can't hide the sadness in my voice.

"He will Ny, and I'm betting he will be there right when it opens."

Molly, and I carry on with our conversation. It makes me feel better to have her but it's not her I need.
