His asshole and insides had been so sore afterwards. He’d recognized the look of concern in Aaron’s eyes after they’d finished and for once, he had been the one to reassure his lover that everything was okay. Aaron had made them wait before he would do that to Sam again. But they’d done plenty of other things. Aaron had taken to tying Sam up almost every day. He always used soft materials. Scarves and bowties made of silk, velvet covered ropes. He even had fur cuffs for Sam’s wrists and ankles that could be adjusted with leather ties to make them snugger. They had leather loops that Aaron could attach to the bed posts or to the large wooden cross shaped like an ‘X’ that he had displayed in his extra bedroom. They’d spent a lot of time in that room lately. There were plenty of items Sam had never seen before, but Aaron was always very careful to explain each one to him first before using it on Sam. Aaron combined hints of pain with the bondage—the clothespins on his nipples, spankings on his ass with a wooden spoon.
