Hand on the Nape and New Sneakers

New sneakers had rubbed since morning but I left them on. The upstairs neighbor started drilling right when the UPS guy rang a second time.

I switched the kettle off and went into the bedroom. The harness lay on the chair, straps still damp from washing.

It began when I simply said “on your knees” and put strap-on in his mouth.

He dropped, knees on the carpet. I adjusted the dildo and rested my palm on the back of his neck. His breathing changed at once.

Mouth obedience stayed quiet, only his throat and my breath.

I pressed my fingers a little harder when I wanted him deeper. He opened on his own. Then I eased back and he waited.

Role reversal always feels sharpest here: I stand, he stays lower, and only my hand decides when he continues.

Once I stopped completely. He froze. The drill kept hitting the ceiling. After a minute I pushed on his neck again.

“Too deep?” he asked softly, eyes down.

“You decide,” I said. He nodded and opened again.

Spit ran down his chin. I left it. I just watched him try to breathe evenly and fail.

When I let go he stayed on his knees, staring at the floor. Face flushed, lashes wet. I walked past him into the kitchen and turned the kettle on again.

Evening in the kitchen the same day

After that started once we were drinking tea and the Target receipt lay between us.

He stirred sugar into my cup, hand trembling a little. “Too much,” I said. He poured half away without arguing.

Sequence matters more than intensity in moments like this.

Twenty minutes later I stood. “Come on,” I said. He rose at once.

In the bedroom he knelt again by the bed. My hand settled on the back of his neck and I set the pace myself, slower this time. The base of the harness pressed against me with every movement and gathered every bit of attention into one place.

His breathing stayed even for a few seconds, then broke. I didn’t stop until I chose to.

Weight of the hand on the nape replaces any words.

Afterwards I took the harness off and dropped it on the chair. He was still kneeling. “Thank you,” he said quietly. I nodded and went to the bathroom to wash my hands.

In bed he rested his head on my shoulder. The drill upstairs had finally stopped. I thought about the eight o’clock appointment tomorrow and how I’d have to wear these same sneakers. Stupid purchase.
