Chapter Twenty Eight-
Beau
"Are you okay with me teaching them?" Claude asks.
About a week ago when we did our public scene, there were a lot of doms asking Claude to teach them kinbaku. Though, Claude believes that you can't really learn something unless you've experienced it.
The person who taught Claude was a dom who had him do multiple scenes as the rope bunny before letting him tie another person, and he thinks he should teach the same way.
I'm okay with him tying other doms, and I don't want to be the reason that nobody gets to learn, but there's something so personal and intimate about it. I only want Claude to have that with me.
"You aren't tying the subs, right?"
"No. Just the other doms. I could even do it with them fully clothed if that's what you want, Angel."
I shake my head and smile. "That's alright, Sir. They don't have to wear clothes, but can you not do it with hemp? I'd rather that just be for us."
"Of course. I also wanted to go in depth about the steps before bothering to do a scene with any of them. Do you mind if we do a more personal scene in front of them where I could explain what I'm doing?"
"Alright, sir. I'm okay with that."
I used to be a huge exhibitionist. I really liked being watched because it caused more dirty thoughts to race through my mind and made the s*x better, but my desires have changed since Claude became my dom. The entire point of kinbaku is to get out of my head, so I don't think very much during our scenes, and that makes the crowd less appealing.
"Alright then we'll do that tonight. Dax is letting us use his playroom because I'm not comfortable with having people in our private space. I'll use hemp on you and have you wear a blindfold and headphones so you won't focus on us. It will only be the doms there too."
"Yes, Sir. I think you'll be a great teacher for them. You're really good at it, and I can tell that you try to be perfect for me, and I love listening to you talk about it. It's like one of your passions and I like sharing it with you." I confess, smiling at him before gesturing for him to lay on the bed with me. Once he does, I kiss his lips gently and smile.
"Well I'm glad I can share it with you. I almost want you to meet the man who taught me. I wasn't flattering you all those times I talked about your body. It's perfect for kinbaku. Your flexibility and size as well as your innocent and simple reactions are ideal."
"You'd let your old dom tie me up?" I ask curiously. He's usually more possessive than that.
"No. Of course not. I just want you to meet him so I can rub it in his face how amazing you are."
I laugh softly and cuddle up to his chest. "You're funny. We both know you wouldn't do that. You're too nice."
"Oh you want me to be mean?" He asks playfully, moving us so that I'm underneath him. He starts tickling my sides, making me laugh and squirm, trying to push him away. "Is this mean enough for you?"
"Cut it out! You know I'm super ticklish." I whine in between laughs, feeling my eyes start to water from all the laughter. I squeal a few times as I start to run out of breath.
Claude eventually stops his attack and wraps his arms around me to bury his face in my neck and lay his weight on me.
He was scared to do that the first few times. My size makes him insecure about his own size, but I assured him that I'm not as fragile as I look. I actually enjoy the pressure of his body on top of mine. It makes me feel very loved.
"You've got a good set of lungs on you. I bet you hit notes higher than Mariah Carey." He comments.
I laugh softly and hug him back, enjoying the way we cling to each other. "Not my fault you tried to kill me, Claude. I should tickle you back."
"I'm not ticklish."
"Which is totally not fair."
"I bet." He answers sarcastically, and I roll my eyes. I wouldn't be caught dead doing that at the club, but this is different. Claude is my boyfriend here and There's no power exchange in our everyday lives.
He pulls back to lay next to me and stare into my eyes while I stare right back, admiring the way they sparkle as the sun shines through the window and hits them just perfectly.
"Hey, after we demonstrate, which dom are you going to do a scene with?"
"Tonight is going to be Hayes. He's been asking me to teach him for a while, and I think his sub is the type to enjoy that. I'm nervous about teaching Andrew though. Fizzle likes pain, and pain is never a good sign in kinbaku or shibari. I'm worried that he'll try to make it more risky by tying the ropes too tight, but that could cause serious nerve damage. I just hope he'll listen to me."
"Maybe you could teach him a good way for sadists to do it. You always tie me up in weird positions and if I stay in them too long it gets uncomfortable and a little sore and painful, but it's not dangerous. Maybe tell him to focus on that when he's using them rather than trying to make it hurt immediately. Kinbaku is gradual, so it should be that way for sadists too."
"Have I ever told you that you're a genius?"
"A few times yeah. Hopefully my first class will think that too."
"Right, I almost forgot about that. You're going to be a teaching assistant for the last semester of college, right?"
"Yeah. They've already decided what school I'll be doing it at and which teacher, but I really hope the kids like me. Though they'll only see me on Tuesdays and Wednesdays."
Claude reaches out to pet my hair gently. "They'll love you."
"Thanks."
"What's your natural hair color?" He asks. Running his fingers through the purple strands.
"Blonde. That's why it's easy to dye. I usually don't need to bleach it."
"You should let it grow out after this. After I get to see it all blonde then you can dye it again." He tells me. I nod in agreement. "Good boy."
My stomach flutters at the sound of his praise and makes me smile. Claude is perfect for me, and from what he tells me, I'm perfect for him too.
He's not just the perfect dom, but a perfect boyfriend too. He takes us on romantic dates and supports my school and career despite knowing how little time we'll have together when I really do become a teacher. He gives me all the praise I could want and respects me unconditionally. I couldn't ask for more.
"I'm excited about this. Thank you for agreeing to let me teach them. I wonder how they'll make it unique to them."
"I thought it was a right and wrong type of thing." I admit, and Claude shakes his head.
"My Master taught me how to do kinbaku and through my learning, I developed my own style. Kneeling on the floor with my sub is something that I haven't seen any other doms who practice kinbaku do. I'm sure you've noticed too, but I don't like to use the bed. I don't have as much control on the bed so I always do scenes on the floor." He starts explaining.
I listen closely and nod along to let him know that I'm paying attention. I like listening to him talk. His voice makes me melt and he's adorable when he's excited. I love trying to understand the way he thinks and he's very good at explaining it.
"I've found that putting myself at the same level as my submissive opens the door to using the ropes as a form of communication. Of course I'm still dominant, but it's like a redirection of power rather than an exchange. You show your submission by accepting me as your rigger. I show respect and acknowledgement to you by continuing to do the things that you enjoy. The power goes back and forth between the two of us."
"I feel that when we do our scenes. I think it can be described in a lot of ways. At first I said it was like you were conducting an orchestra, but it's more like a dance or a conversation. Neither of us has all of the power. We just... flow."
"I agree. Submissives describe it in different ways, but it's all the same gist." He pulls me closer and pecks my forehead before standing up to flick off the lights and turn the TV on. "What do you want to watch?"
"Soul Eater?"
"You're obsessed with that show."
"It's my comfort anime. It makes me feel good."
"Touché. We'll watch it until it's time to leave, alright?"
"Okay."

Claude
"This is everyone, right?" I ask, looking at the Doms. Hayes, Dax, and Andrew are the ones here. "No Teagan?"
"He and Sawyer like to stick to the basics. Simple man and all that jazz." Hayes explains, and I nod, locking the door to Dax's playroom which we're using.
Their submissives are sure to be causing trouble out there with nobody to tell them what to do. Elliot and Noel are notorious for flirting with the doms and seeing what they can get away with.
Fizzle is more behaved, but he's far too timid to tame a couple of brats. He's always getting dragged into their shenanigans, and I think that's how Andrew likes it. It gives him a reason to punish his sub.
I turn back to them and walk to Beau who is patiently waiting with red cheeks. Having doms stare at him is surely what's embarrassing him so much.
"All of you sit on the floor." I demand, all three obey me, but I do get a snide remark from Andrew.
"Kneel, Angel."
Beau obediently kneels on the floor while I get the few things I brought from off the dresser. Hemp, blindfold, headphones, and safety shears.
I kneel behind Beau as I usually do, ignoring the way the doms look at me. I place the items next to me and start to move my hands all across Beau's naked body, steering clear of his c**k or n*****s.
"Safewords?"
"Reliance to slow down and Mercy to stop, sir." He recites to me.
"If you feel like something is too tight then what?"
"I just tell you sir. I don't need to safeword."
I lean closer and kiss the shell of his ear before whispering, "Good boy."
I keep touching Beau, rubbing my hands down his arms and over his chest before moving down to his thighs and legs. I look to the doms and smile.
"It's important that you know your submissive's body before doing anything with the ropes. It puts strain in their bones and muscles, so if they're injured in any areas or have been before then you should be extra careful around those spots." I inform them while grabbing the blindfold and wrapping it around Beau's head to tie it in the back. "Beau has only been injured a few times as a child, and now his body is used to the strain I put on it, so it's not as uncomfortable for him as it was in the beginning."
The doms nod along and look at Beau and I. Though, I can tell that Andrew is eyeing Beau a tad bit too much for my liking. I know Beau isn't the type to go for someone like that, so I brush it off and allow him to stare. I kiss Beau's cheek before putting the headphones on him to block out the noise.
"It is imperative that your sub is completely relaxed when you start and throughout the entire scene. If they tense even the slightest bit, it will cause pain that will make them tense more and in turn cause more pain." I trail my fingers up Beau's chest and bring their attention to him instead of me.
"Notice how his breathing is deep and slow. His body is slumped slightly and his lips are parted just a bit. Normally you'd like for your sub to have great posture, but with kinbaku, this type of relaxation is perfect. This is what submission looks like when you do a rope scene. He's completely open to what I choose to do next."
I reach over to grab the rope, starting by tying his wrists as always, but this time, I tighten it just a little too much. I see Beau shift and point it out. "I don't know if you caught it, but he shifted just a little bit. It's because the rope is too tight. Little signs are important when you do these things because submissives might not realize the rope is too tight until after their hands go numb."
I loosen the rope before tying the knot and tying more up his arms. "As for the knots, you can honestly learn that stuff on your own. Kinbaku isn't about presentation like Shibari is. It's all about the process. It's fine if the knots are sloppy as long as they do the job."
Each time I move the rope I shift Beau's body just the slightest bit to keep it interesting. "Aside from the safety of your submissive, the most important thing about kinbaku is to acknowledge the rope not as a tool but as an extension of yourself. Using it is like communicating. I tie the rope in a certain place and Beau responds with a small reaction, so I continue. When he stops giving me reactions, that's when I know it's time to change it up. I never want him to get bored."
Once I finish tying down his chest, he's panting heavily and his c**k is rock hard. There's the slightest bit of sweat on him as well.
I press my body to his and take deep breaths to calm his down. "If you pay attention, you'll see signs in your submissive. Like just now he almost came, but I don't want him to yet, so this is my way of bringing him back down from the edge."
"You're edging him without touching him? Are you a s*x god?" Hayes asks, making me laugh a little.
"I guess you'll find out later tonight." I comment before positioning Beau and tying his legs and thighs as well. "Your submissive shouldn't feel any pain during the scene, and if they do then it's not a good sign. The rope can cause permanent nerve damage if it's tied too tightly, so always make sure you're being careful and paying close attention."
"And what if my sub likes pain? Hell, I doubt Soda pop could c*m unless I beat the s**t out of him first."
"You should really work on your phrasing." Hayes tells him.
"Right, sorry. Unless I beat the s**t out of him with his consent."
Dax and Hayes both roll their eyes, and I smile. "You can put him in an uncomfortable position that would cause soreness without the risk of nerve damage."
I finish tying Beau and pause for a moment, trailing my hands over his body, tracing the ropes with my fingers.
"C-Can I c*m, Sir?"
I lean down and move the headphones to the side for a moment to answer, "No. we're not done yet."
I start to untie the ropes with the same pace and purpose as before. Switching up the rhythm and speed periodically keeps him on his toes and makes his body more sensitive. "Make sure that your subs are aware of what you'll be doing before you do your scene. In order for them to enter their rope space, their minds have to be completely clear. That means that fear play and taking them by surprise won't go well."
"Ropespace? Is that like subspace?" Dax asks.
"Similar, but not the same. I'll let Beau explain that when we finish, and I'm sure you'll all experience it when I do my scene with each of you."
Once the rope is only on Beau's wrists, I reposition him so that he's laying on his back with his hands behind his head and his knees bent. I begin to tie him again, being quicker and more assertive this time which makes him pant heavier and moan louder than normal.
"How is he holding back without tensing?"
"I never put him in a situation where he'll have to hold back. I know how far I can push him before he goes over the edge. It's not his job to hold back and he knows it. When I want him to c*m I'll make him cum."
I tie the ropes further down his body and eventually take his headphones off to kiss his ear. "c*m, Angel."
He moans and releases onto his chest before relaxing again and panting slowly. I know he's going to be too dazed to care about the doms and I, so I take the blindfold off too and slowly untie him.
"Good boy, Beau. You did so great for me." I tell him, leaving little kisses all over him.
Once the ropes are off, I lift him up and take him to the bed to lay him down on it. He slowly comes back to reality while I wipe his body down and continue to talk with the doms.
"It does take some effort to learn how to make sure that you're doing this safely, but your submissives are sure to love it. Even Fizzle." I explain. "So are you three still interested?"
Dax nods. "I'm sure Noel will enjoy it, and I like to make him happy. I'm willing to put in however much effort you need."
Hayes just shrugs and nods. "I'm in."
Andrew sighs. "Is this usually when you go in the bathroom and rub one out? Is it like a rule that you can't f**k them while they're all tied up? I like to end a scene just as satisfied as my sub, and it seems like I won't if I decide to follow your rules."
"It's not a rule, but I see myself as more of a service dom. It may seem weird at first, but I think most doms really want to please their submissives. I like to please Beau when it comes to s*x, and it doesn't really matter to me if I get off or not as long as I get to see him squirm and c*m all over the place. That's just our dynamic. Beau submits to me, and I show appreciation by pleasuring him."
"So you're like if Soda pop was a dom?"
I roll my eyes at him. "Do you want me to teach you or not?"
"Yes. But when you tie me up like you did with your little sub, don't be scared to bone me."
I laugh softly though I'm not actually sure if he was joking or not. I won't f**k any of them because I know that it's not something that Beau would be okay with.
"S-Sir?" Beau mumbles, making me turn to him and reach out to pet his hair.
"Don't mumble. How do you feel?"
"I feel great, Sir. Very refreshed. That was really nice." Beau admits while blushing and glancing at the other doms.
"I was wondering if you'd be okay explaining ropespace to the doms. It's been a while since I've been on the receiving end and I'm not very good at putting it into words." I explain. Beau's face lights up as he looks up at the three of them.
"Oh! Rope space is like floating. You just feel so weightless and relaxed and your mind is entirely clear. You just keep floating higher and higher until your rigger starts to untie the ropes. With normal subspace It's like you come down and you feel tired and sated, but with ropespace you float down like a feather and you feel even more energized and refreshed. It's amazing. It's almost like cleansing your soul." He says before blushing even brighter. "Uh... if that makes sense?"
"It makes perfect sense. Thank you for explaining it." Dax tells him.
"Yeah. What he said." Andrew adds, making Beau laugh a little bit.
"Well now I'm excited for you to send me there. I hope you don't mind sharing your magical rope dom with me for a night."
"Of course, Master Hayes. I don't mind. I know that Claude wouldn't do anything that I'd be uncomfortable with. I'm glad that you guys are getting to learn it. Maybe then the other subs will understand what I'm talking about all the time."
"Alright. Well we're going to go so you two can spend some time together. Claude, you know where to find me when it's time." Hayes says before taking the doms away, leaving Claude to give me all the aftercare I could want.
