“Okay.” His voice was soft, barely there.
I stroked his cheek. “You don’t have to be afraid.”
“I’m not afraid exactly. I just… I’ve never done this before.”
“I’m glad you’ve never done it. I want to be the first man to restrain you.” I wanted to be the only man to do this to him.
“Leo, I—”
“Shhh. Let yourself fall into the fantasy sweetheart. I’m here to catch you.”
“Promise you won’t leave me.”
“I’m not going to leave you, baby.” I wasn’t sure if he meant while he was tied up or ever. At this point, I was willing to assure him of either.
I quickly sent a text to X letting him know I’d call soon, then I pulled a box out from under my bed, pressed the code for the lock, and flipped the top open. Ezra’s eyes widened when he saw all the colored rope inside. I pulled out my safety shears and held them up. “With these, I can cut you loose in seconds. I can also kill an assailant in less time than that. You’re safe with me.”
He nodded. “I want to take care of you too.”
“You’re caring for me by being willing to let me have control.”
“You need that, don’t you? You need to control and to protect.”
I hadn’t even realized how much until Ezra. “Yeah, I do.”
Without another word, Ezra undressed, carefully folding his clothes and laying them on the chair by the window. He stood in front of me utterly naked while I was still dressed. He didn’t look scared now. He looked more confident than he had since I’d left him at the front desk that morning.
He turned around, showing me his gorgeous ass as he climbed onto the bed. Once he was on his back, he stretched out spread-eagle. “I’m ready.”
“You’re so fucking beautiful, sweetheart.” I studied his lean body as I considered my options for rope. I decided purple would look best against his pale skin. Ezra’s eyes went wide as I uncoiled it and stretched a length between my hands.
“You’re going to love this, but if anything starts to go numb, tell me immediately. If you start to feel panicked, I want to know. This should be good for both of us.”
Ezra nodded. “Yes, sir.”
“Good. Now sit up. I’m going to start by tying a chest harness, then I’ll wrap the rope around your hips and secure your wrists to it.
“I… um… okay.” His voice shook, but he held my gaze.
“You’re going to be beautiful laced up in purple rope, bound just for me. I want you to relax. Let the rope make you feel safe.”
“I… Maybe I can do that.”
“Tell me if you need me to slow down.”
“Yes, sir.”
Those words went right to my cock. I wasn’t going to rush this, but by the time I was done, I was going to be ready to fuck him senseless.
There were so many things I wanted to try on him, but I needed to refresh myself on some of the techniques first. It had been a while since I’d practiced rope bondage, and it was better to stay simple this first time. I doubled the rope and then wrapped it around his chest, crisscrossing it and bringing it up over his shoulders and down his back. As soon as I started to work with the rope, I felt the tension in my muscles ease. Concentrating on the knots I needed to make kept me in the moment.
Ezra watched me the whole time, staring down at his decorated chest. When I was done creating the harness, I paused to admire my work. “You look amazing.”
I maneuvered Ezra to the edge of the bed and had him swing his feet off. He already seemed totally blissed out. “Can you stand for me?”
A few moments passed before he answered. “I think so.”
“Put your hands on my shoulders to steady yourself until I’m ready to tie your wrists.”
He sighed. “It feels good.”
“The rope?”
“Yes. I want more.”

Ezra
I’d been scared being restrained would make me feel panicked, and I wouldn’t be able to submit to Leo, but he’d been right; I loved it. Something about him being so focused on my body and the feel of him wrapping the rope around me was soothing. I wanted to let go and let him take charge.
The rope wasn’t rough like I’d worried it would be, but I yelped and shifted away as he wrapped it around my hips.
He looked up. “What’s wrong?”
“That tickles.”
He grinned before making his expression menacing. “You can take it. I expect you to stand still for me so I can get you fully bound.”
The sternness of his voice had me standing up straighter. When he touched me again, I only shivered instead of pulling away. I could find the strength to ignore the prickly sensation of the rope sliding along my skin.
