He sighed as he washed his hands. It had taken hours, but he finally had the information his lord needed. The prisoner might or might not survive for further questioning, but that was a matter for another day. After drying his hands he stepped into the small room just outside the dungeon and sat at his desk. He quickly wrote a missive to his lord detailing what he had learned. Then wrote a second to her, carefully trying it with a short length of white silk cord. He gave both to a page waiting outside with instructions to deliver Nobunaga's first, then find the princess and deliver the second.
Hoping that she would respond to his letter he headed for the baths. A little soak to relax his muscles and to get the blood out of his hair, before returning to his manor to have dinner started and await the princess was just what he needed. Well, it wasn't all he needed, but it was a start.
He was just finishing up a letter to his own Chatelaine back in his fief when she knocked on the door. "Enter" he called. As she opened the door and stepped in his eyes roved over her, searching for, yet not finding the white cord. Not seeing it immediately didn't mean she had said no, she had cleverly hidden it before, but he had hoped to see it immediately and know her answer. However, she was wearing the small fox obi-charm he had given her almost 2 months ago. That did bode well for him, even if he couldn't see that damnable cord.
Her smile lit up the room "Hello Mitsuhide, what's for dinner tonight?"
"I'm not sure. I hired a new cook on Masamune's recommendation just for our little dinners."
"Really? And Masa actually sent someone to you? You'll destroy their confidence within a week."
"You wound me Little Mouse. I expect it will be the first meal without you."
Her giggles sounded like wind chimes in contrast to his own throaty chuckle.
"Come, sit with me. Our evening meal should be here soon."
She walked across the room. Each step took his pulse higher, and as she sat next to him and took his hand in hers he thought he'd stop breathing. He nearly did as she took THE cord and wound it around his wrist before securing it in a pert little bow.
"I thought you might keep this through dinner for me."
For the first time since she arrived his razor smile nearly faltered as he gulped in anticipation. It seemed he would be getting exactly what he needed after dinner tonight. For a man who couldn't taste anything, he was truly looking forward to dessert.
Before he could properly respond there was another knock on his door. "My Lord, I have the meals for you and the princess."
"Enter" if his voice was a little rough she didn't mention it. Though he caught the hint of a smile as she turned towards the door.
The maid slid open the door and set the trays down in front of them, then backed out. Before she could close the door Mitsuhide called out to her "I am not to be disturbed for the rest of the night. Kyubi can handle anything that comes up before dawn."
"Yes my lord" she said as she slid the door closed.
"Dawn hmm? Someone is feeling sure of himself" the princess teased as she picked up her chopsticks.
He loved when she teased him, warmth softened his eyes as he gazed at her, before turning back to his own meal.
"I'm rescinding my earlier estimation of the new cook" he commented as he looked at his tray for the first time. Unlike the tray before the princess his had a single large bowel filled nearly to the brim with food. "It seems Masamune warned this one of my eating habits. So long as your meal is satisfactory they may last quite a while."
"It's quite good. Not as good as Masamune's cooking, but I'd certainly enjoy more meals here if they keep up this quality."
He watched as she delicately picked up a bite of fish. It was hard to believe that she had been nearly unable to use chopsticks when she arrived. He had been merciless that first meal, but it had been so adorable watching her fumbling around, dropping her food more often than eating it. Her cheeks and ears were the most lovely shade of red. He had wanted to see more of it.
"Are you going to eat anything? Or just stare at me all night?"
Her comment brought him out of his reverie. "Hmm? Oh, yes, yes dinner. Apologies, my mind was elsewhere." He took several bites before washing it down with a swig of his sake. "You've gotten quite good at using chopsticks, my dear."
"That's not the only thing I've gotten good at. Not that you helped with most of it." Her pointed stare over her own cup brought another chuckle from him.
"I provided encouragement Little Mouse"
"In the form of relentless taunts and teasing. You're lucky I saw right through you."
Her hand rested on his thigh as she set her cup down, fingers dancing a rhythm all her own across the top and towards his other thigh, but never quite crossing that line. He shivered.
"You stopped eating again. Do you need assistance?" She purred into his ear, her breath ghosting along his neck.
"Mhmm, not yet, but perhaps soon."
"Really? That's disappointing."
Her fingers danced higher up his leg before sweeping back down.
"Keep that up Little Mouse and you may have more than you planned tonight." He whispered back, reaching up and cupping the back of her head to bring her closer to his lips so he could catch her in a quick kiss before turning away, leaving her wanting. "First, however, I have a meal to finish. As you so kindly pointed out."
The pout on her face was worth denying himself a deeper kiss.
He ate the rest of his meal quickly, then gathered the trays himself and set them outside his door.
She had moved to the door to the garden while he cleaned up. He walked silently up behind her placing one hand around her throat while the other ran down her side to her hip. He felt her shudder as she leaned into him. She reached up & took the hand holding her throat into both of hers, sliding her hands to the cord on his wrist.
"Now Love, whatever shall we do with this tonight?"
He smiled above her at the taunting tone in her voice.
"I don't know my dear, but I'm sure we can come up with something we will both enjoy."
Tucking her under his shoulder he led her part way back across the room to a locked chest near his futon.
Reaching up to the tallest shelf he retrieved the puzzle box she had gifted him shortly after they began their evenings together. Practiced hands had it open and the key to the chest free in moments. She plucked the key from the box before he could and knelt to unlock their toy box.
The key made a satisfying click as she turned it, unlocking the chest. She lifted the lid revealing the contents of their "toy box" as she called it. He had no idea where she had come up with the name, but he liked it. He loved to tease her in whispers only she could hear about its contents.
Soft silken ropes in various shades of blues, reds, white and gold were laid out along the bottom. Arrayed above them were several carved and lacquered phalli. Each a slightly different shape or length. Each carefully cleaned after each use and checked for cracks or splinters. His gut tightened as she ran her fingers lightly over one of his personal favorites, as she glanced up at him through her lashes, her half smile taunting him.
He reached down and threaded his fingers through her hair before kneeling next to her. "You know me so well Little Mouse, how is it you can see right through me?"
"That's easy Mitsuhide. I love you." Her hands went to her obi cord and slowly untied it. She ran it through the fingers of one hand several times stopping at the fox charm to toy with it each time. "It's also how I know that you need this tonight more than I do."
She reached around his neck as she leaned up to kiss him, both of them hungry for each other’s touch. He barely noticed her wrapping the obi cord three times around his neck until he felt the charm fall against the hollow of his throat. He broke off their kiss, pressing his forehead to hers as he took a long shuddering breath.
"Oh Little Mouse, you know me far too well" and he captured her mouth again. Reaching around her and pulling her into him so he could finish untying the obi she had started when she removed the cord now snug around his neck.
She moaned into his mouth, little sighs and gasps that left him hard and wanting more, before she pushed him back. Taking his cheeks gently between her palms she looked up at him. The love he saw in her eyes took his breath away. He hoped she could see his love for her in his.
"Such a greedy fox you are tonight love. Don't worry, I will make sure you get everything you want, as long as you're a good boy for me. Now, get your own clothes off while I get everything ready. Wait for me by your writing desk." She kissed his nose playfully while pulling away from him.
He groaned at the loss of her, keeping his hands on her waist as long as possible before getting up to do as she asked him.
He disrobed as he walked. The short distance to his desk seemingly infinite as he moved, time stretching as if to torture him. Finally free of the confines of his clothes he turned and waited for her, his length hard and pulsating, begging for attention. He wanted to stroke himself as he watched her, naked, knelt over the box considering how she would play with him tonight. It took most of his considerable self-control not to do so. They had played this game before, and he knew refraining would reap him greater rewards than indulgence. At least tonight, while he was in her hands. The fox yielding to the mouse.
His eyes never left her, catching hers as she stood and turned to him. Her smile wicked as she walked to him, three lengths of rope in white, a blue and violet blend, and a citrine one she claimed matched his eyes, swaying in her left hand, while her right held two phalli.
"Such a good fox waiting so patiently. I think I'll let you choose which one I use on you tonight." She set the ropes on the desk and held the phalli out to him. "I picked out both of your favorites, but I'm only going to use one." She stroked along the length of each. One was shorter, a bit thicker, and had a slight curve near the end. The other was longer and thinner overall, but was ridged along its length, almost as if a set of small balls had been joined together to make it. "Why don't you think about it while I get you ready Love? Then again I may just change my mind and pick for you."
He shuddered again as he leaned into her to steal a kiss, taking the phalli and setting the shorter one to the side. "If I am to make any choices tonight, I believe I will choose this one" he nearly purred against her lips. She deepened the kiss, their tongues dancing and twining together as she took his breath away.
She held his cheek as she broke the kiss, a soft smile gracing her lips "Naughty fox"
"You love it when I'm naughty"
"Not the point. So, now you get to keep hold of that, and hold the ropes for me. Put your arms straight out to the side"
Smirking he did as she asked, the unbalanced weights making it slightly difficult to keep his arms level. Which was the point.
She took the longest of the ropes, the blue and violet one, and laid it over his neck. Allowing it to fall over his torso and pool on the floor. It brushed across his chest with every breath, the silken rope tingling across his skin.
Taking both ends within her practised hands she made several knots along the length of the rope, building the foundation of the harness that would hold him at her mercy. She allowed her fingers to brush against him with each knot, before she knelt to pass it between his thighs. His knees nearly buckled and his arms shook as she breathed across his straining member. She moved around him, lifting the rope and securing it to itself where it lay against his neck.
Now is when the true torment began.
She pressed herself against his back, allowing him to feel every inch of her, as she wrapped her arms around him to pass the rope around the first knot. Mitsuhide trembled and shuddered, using all of his self-control to maintain the stance she had put him in. Her kisses littered the back of his neck and shoulders as she worked, while her fingers traced the lines of his chest and back as she laid her ropes around him. When she finished, kneeling behind him, the final knot sat just under his balls, lifting them a hair with every breath he took.
"Such a good little fox for me" she whispered as she traced kissed over his hip before pulling him into her and nibbling on his ass cheek. The sting was short lived as her tongue laved across where her teeth had just been. "Just the first of many tonight, Love. How are you feeling, anything too tight, or pinching?" She traced along the diamonds formed by her rope.
"No Little Mouse, everything is fine, it's perfect" Mitsuhide sighed. The ropes tightened slightly with each of his breaths, rubbed along his skin with each shift & twitch of his muscles, and gods it felt good.
His mind finally beginning to quiet as every piece of him focused on HER, and what she wanted from him. It never failed, no matter which of them took the lead. She always seemed to know which path would quiet his mind, quiet his demons. Even when she was at his mercy, ultimately he was at hers.
"Keep your arms out and kneel for me Love"
This time she plucked the citrine cord from his hand as she joined him on her knees. She wound the citrine cord around one ankle then up his calf and over his thigh before securing it to the blue and violet rope binding his torso. She followed the same path in reverse down his other leg, finishing by knotting the cord around both of his ankles.
She stood and surveyed her work. Humming quietly in satisfaction. "Spread your knees a little Love. I want to see all of you"
Mitsuhide grunted a bit in the effort to comply, his knees being the only part he could move below his waist.
"Perfect. Now for your arms. But we'll need somewhere to hold this while I finish getting you ready" her fingers danced over the phallus Mitsuhide had almost forgotten he was holding. Her gentle almost touches and warm breathe had his focus drifting everywhere else on his body.
"I think I know the perfect place" she plucked it from his hand. "Keep your arm there until I tell you to move it. Open your mouth"
She couldn't be serious? He couldn't hold that in his mouth! It was far too long, and too wide at the base. He wouldn't be able to keep a hold of it.
He opened his mouth regardless of his misgivings and was rewarded with a kiss. Her mouth was hungry. Devouring. The fingers of her free hand tangled in his hair, holding him to her.
All thoughts went away. There was just her mouth on his, her ropes on his body, and her command to keep his arms out. He sank into her, regretting nothing, and trusting her completely.
"Good fox" she broke the kiss. Mitsuhide was panting for breath. How did she do that? "Now, I want you to lick and suck this. Get it all nice and wet for me"
Oh no. She wasn't planning on starting there already? He always enjoyed it, but his arms were still free, she never did that until he was completely tied. No, he trusted her.
So he leaned forward and began to lick and suck on the knobbed phallus. Getting as much saliva as he could onto the lacquered carving.
"Good fox. So good for me."
He kept going, surprised when she pulled it away. She still hadn't done more than graze his body with her fingertips. If she was planning that, he wasn't ready. He was far from ready.
"Look at me"
The command pulled him out of his racing thoughts. Mitsuhide looked at her. Only to have his breath stolen yet again as he watched her slowly slip the phallus into the channel he wanted to bury himself in. Where he wanted to release himself. His cock twitched, hitting his abdomen, as he watched her slip nodule after nodule into her waiting heat.
"There now Mitsuhide. I think it can stay there until you're ready for it"
She was toying with him. Teasing him. Besting him at his own game. And he loved it.
Slowly, making sure not to lose the phallus inside her, she took the few steps needed to come back to him. She took his empty hand and kissed his palm. "Such a good fox. Let's give those arms a rest"
She stepped behind him taking his hand with her. She rested his wrist in the small of his back before taking up the white rope and placing his other empty hand behind him as well.
She wrapped his arms together from wrists to elbows, before lacing the ends around his upper arms and through the body harness she had started with. When she tied the ends off Mitsuhide could move his head, fingers and toes, and slightly move his knees apart or together.
He was completely at her mercy.
He loved every second of it.
"Mitsuhide, still with me? How does everything feel? Too tight? Any pinching?"
"Perfection my Love" if his words were a bit slurred it was normal when she had him like this.
"Good."
She walked around him slowly. Surveying and enjoying her handiwork.
"Gods" she sighed "you are so beautiful right now Mitsuhide. I wish you could see yourself. You are the embodiment of contentment and temptation rolled together. I want to stare at you and play with you at the same time"
"I wish I could see myself through your eyes Little Mouse. Yet, if I have another choice tonight, don't stare too long. I'm already desperate for your touch" all teasing was gone from his tone. Leaving stark, raw desire in its place.
"You want me to touch you? When the view is so good?"
"Yes, please"
"When I could sit here," she began to sit
"on this desk," she did sit
"just inches away," she spread her legs
"and play with this little toy," she reached down and gripped the end of the wooden phallus "while you watch and wait?'
"No, please, no. Touch me. I need you to touch me"
She paused and tilted her head to one side, then began to withdraw the phallus slowly, one ball at a time, before slipping it back in just as slowly.
"Tell me, my good fox, which do you want more right now. To take the place of the phallus, or me?"
"I don't care, as long as you stop playing with yourself and play with me"
"But I am playing Love" she sped up her thrusts "watching you writhe and beg is very entertaining, mmm-ah" a little moan escaped her as she hit a particularly sensitive spot.
"Please, please. Just touch me. Anywhere, anywhere at all" he was truly begging now. Everything in him just wanted to get close enough to feel her, not just see her. And the sounds she was making as she fucked herself while he was forced to sit and watch. It was were driving him crazy.
"A-ah" she trembled as she brought herself to her peak and over the edge.
Finally she reached out and touched him, cupping his cheek in her hand. He leaned into it, craving even more.
"Good fox, staying so still for me. I think you've earned a reward."
She trailed her hand down his neck, slipping over the ropes that covered most of it, then down across his chest and abdomen, pausing to tweak his nipple on the way down.
"Look how hard you are for me. And dripping already." She used two fingers to spread his pre cum all over the tip of his cock, before moving again. Slipping behind him this time.
Using her dryer hand she slid ither hand through his hair gripping tightit and pulling him around for a kiss.
Mitsuhide was putty in her hands. Anything she wanted he would give her, gladly.
She pulled away, keeping his bottom lip in her teeth until distance fully broke them apart, and began to press his head forward. "Bend over Love, as much as you can. You're going to get all the touching you can handle."
She pushed him down until his cheek was resting on the floor. All the while tracing her fingers along, over, and beside her ropes. She touched him everywhere she could reach. Then came her lips. Her hair ghosting over his skin. She kissed and nipped and licked all over his back and arms.
He almost didn't notice when she slipped her finger inside him.
“Yes, such a good little fox for me. Let go and let me make you feel good.”
She slipped in a second finger. Stretching him, preparing him. When she added the third he trembled and moaned as she began to hit that spot deep within. He couldn't form coherent thoughts anymore, he was just floating in the bliss she brought him. Every nerve alive with sensation, as he gave himself entirely to her.
“I love to hear you moan for me, keep going. Louder.”
She removed her fingers, leaving him feeling bereft. It only lasted a moment until fingers were replaced by the phallus she had used on herself. Slipping in, up to the third ball easily. She began to work it in & out, pushing a little further each stroke, hitting that spot with each ridge of the phallus. His moans and pleas filled the air around them.
“So good for me. You sing so beautifully Mitsuhide.”
At last the final and largest ball slipped within him. His cock was leaking freely onto the floor, and she had yet to even touch him there.
She leaned over him and grabbed his hair again, once more turning him into her kiss.
“Does that feel good, my sweet fox? Being filled with the toy that had been in me?”
He could only nod as much as her grip on his hair allowed.
“Good boy. Time to sit up. I think your cock needs some attention.”
He groaned again as the movement shifted the phallus within him. Grinding it against that spot deep within.
She leaned him back against his desk before straddling him. Rocking her hips and dripping entrance over his weeping member.
“Do you want to be inside of me?” Her fingers stroked along his neck and down his torso. “Can you be a good fox and wait until I tell you to come?” she lapped at his left nipple while toying with the other.
“Yes, yes. Please, let me inside you.” His whisper was so soft she barely heard it.
“I don't know, that wasn't very convincing” she bucked against him again, almost allowing him entry before pulling away again.
“Please, please” Mitsuhide begged “I'll be good, please”
“Good fox”
She took him in one hand to keep him steady as she slowly sank onto him. Both of them moaning in pleasure as he slid home.
He nearly came then and there, holding back by a thread. Then she began to ride him, and it was all too much. Her slick wet heat enveloped him, pulling him into her. Every shift moving the phallus she had left within him. The overwhelming combination was just too much.
“Please, little mouse. I, I can't hold on much longer.”
“Yes, you can. I'm so close. Be a good fox and hold on for me”
She kissed him again, swallowing his cries, nipping at his lips. Her rhythm began to deteriorate as her own climax neared.
“Come for me love. Now.”
He came, and she followed after. Both of them falling apart and coming back together.
She pressed her forehead to his “such a good fox for me tonight” and began untying him. Loosening her knots far quicker than she had secured them. Gently removing the phallus, both of them relishing his moan as theyit slipped free.
She quietly rubbed oil into his skin, making sure blood flow had returned to all his extremities. Fingers tracing the lines her ropes had left. Once she was satisfied she finally untied the last cord around his neck.
“I love you Mitsuhide”
“I love you little mouse. Let's get some sleep.” They curled up together in his futon. “Though not too much. I still want to hear you begging before dawn finds us” he kissed her hair and drifted off to the sound of her breathing, his hand resting over her heart.
Yes, he had indeed gotten everything he needed tonight.
