The Cupid Contract
Those words were in such a large font I almost thought it was a joke. He couldn't be serious, could he? Cupid?
As I read on I noticed things like Contractee agrees to be fake wife for parties and other events. Easy enough. Or Contractee shall not meet Contractor family until a decent moment which didn't make much sense. He'd already met my family, why couldn't I meet his? I tapped that part with my pen and looked at him questioningly.
"There are things about my family you just aren't ready for. When I'm certain you are, you'll meet them. Don't worry." I nodded and continued reading.
A few pages later I almost choked. Contractee agrees to the duties of the submissive. What? Contractee will agree to a safe word, if not the traffic light system will be used. What did he mean by traffic light system? None of this made any sense.
"I see your concern, Flower. Is something bothering you?"
"What does this all mean?" I waved my hand over the entire page. "Duties of submissive? Traffic light? I don't understand any of this." I chewed my lower lip, a habit I'd started in my teen years when I was nervous.
"As my wife, I would be taking you as my submissive. I would be your dominant. We would only use the traffic light system if you couldn't find out a safe word on your own. The traffic light system is just a widely known way of handling things." He tilted his head. It felt like he was thinking I was stupid, I surely felt it.
"My... Dominant?" I asked.
"Oh my. Flower, you really don't understand any of this, do you?" I shook my head and he brushed his fingers through his hair. "I'm so sorry. I thought you were just being a brat. We can ignore this entire section of the contract if it makes you uncomfortable."
"It's not that I'm uncomfortable. I just truly don't get it. I've heard things, read things, but there were never any explanations to all of it." A soft thudding began and I realized I was tapping my pen.
"Flower, I'm not sure any other way to put it. It's s*x. As my submissive, you would be surrendering to me. As your dominant, I would be sexually in control of you. The traffic light system is exactly that. Green, go. Yellow, slow down. Red, stop. I would have to honor them, no matter when they're said." He hurriedly explained. I felt even more embarrassed, it looked like I was going to have to tell him that I was nearly a virgin.
"Seth, I need to tell you something." I paused and stared into his eyes. "I've only had s*x twice in my life." I squeezed my eyes shut from my embarrassment. Suddenly I heard his chuckle.
"Oh, Flower. I never would've guessed after how brazen you were last night!" He clapped as he laughed harder. "I'm sorry. I promise I'm not making fun. I'm taken aback. The way you tried to seduce me last night, I assumed you had a very healthy s*x life." Then he stopped. "That could make things a little more challenging."
"Challenging?" All of this was getting confusing. Seth held his finger up to shush me and clicked the button on his mic.
"Maria, I need a new contract without the sub clause. We may not be able-..."
"Wait!" I yelled out, interrupting him. He stopped and looked at me. "Don't get rid of it. I can try. I promise. I noticed earlier on that you can provide certain protections. If this is what it takes, I may end up needing them given my family and who I am. I'll sign it. No adjustments." He stared at me in shock, jaw hanging, then closed his mouth.
"Cancel that. Just come on up to notarize our signatures."
"On my way, Mr. Horner!"
Minutes later the door opened and in walked Maria with a stamp. The three of us signed and she stamped next to her signature. Then she gathered the papers into the manila folder and left. It was then I remembered the weird name of the contract.
"Cupid? Really?" I asked.
"One of these days, you'll understand."
After everything was settled we left the office and stood at the sidewalk to wait on my dad's limo. He showed up quickly and we got situated in the back.
"So tell me, Seth. How does this all work out? What would you be telling me to do?"
"Normally, Flower, I'd learn your limits in order to keep away from them. Your pleasure means more to me than mine. Unfortunately you don't know your limits, so we're going to have to do things very slow. Now you tell me about your experiences so I can get an idea of what you're used to."
"Um..." This was about to get very embarrassing. If I thought telling him I'd only had s*x twice was bad, this was worse. "I already told you. I've only had s*x twice."
"But those two times must have told you what you enjoyed or didn't enjoy?"
"I'm really not sure. The first time was when I lost my virginity and the second time was because Steven had something exciting happen to him. There isn't much else." I grimaced. How could I be so dull and boring? Suddenly I felt his hand on mine.
"You're peeling at the skin on your lower lip. Don't do that." Slowly he lowered my hand to my lap. "Was there anything that happened during the s*x? Positions? Oral?"
"Missionary. I've only ever experienced missionary. There was no oral. Well, that's a lie. There was oral once. He shoved his... His..." I closed my eyes. "His p***s too far down my throat that I started choking. Then he told me I sucked at it and got between my legs. That was when I lost my virginity." A tear started to slide down my cheek. "It was terrible. It hurt. I don't even know if I was ready. I thought it was. He proposed, I thought we were getting married, so I wanted to give him the part of me." More tears were sliding down my cheeks as my breath hitched.
His finger slid under my chin and he pulled my gaze to his. Nothing but concern was flashing in his eyes. I must have looked so pathetic.
"He didn't realize what a gift he had. He sounded like a very selfish lover that only cared about himself getting off. You don't have to worry about that with me, I'll guide you through everything. When you're ready." Something in the way he said that made me melt. This man was nothing short of amazing. I pushed forward and touched my lips to his.
He hesitated for a heartbeat of a second then leaned closer into the kiss, pulling me tighter against him with his free arm. My lips parted when I felt his tongue and I felt his hand move from my chin to the back of my head. Fingers tangled in my hair and gently pulled, forcing a moan from me into the kiss.
My hand found his cheek as my head tilted into his pulling and he pulled a little harder. The hand on my lower back swiveled around my waist and rested on my thigh. His thumb rubbed against my flesh and it inched upward. I gasped when it pressed against me.
"Tell me what you need, Flower." He huskily mumbled against my lips. My body was trembling and my senses were on overdrive.
"I... I don't know..." I whimpered out. His thumb pressed a little harder and I gasped out a louder moan, breaking the kiss.
"Use. Your. Words." He growled out.
"Touch me!" I squealed as he began to rub where he was pressing. He pulled away and slid his hand into the leg of my shorts and found the spot he'd been pressing into. Instead of his thumb, his fingers brushed across my panties and slid them to the side, then found my bare nub. "Yes! Like that!" I all but screamed out. My eyes were rolling.
"No, no, Flower. Eyes on me." He sternly said as he rubbed into my nub with his fingers. My body was shaking harder, my fingers were clenching into a fist and unclenching. What was this insane feeling? My eyes started to roll again. "I said Eyes. On. Me." He growled out as the hand in my hand grabbed my chin and forced me to stare at him. His fingers rubbed harder and suddenly I felt myself lightly leaking before I cried out and my mind went mush. His lips crashed into mine to muffle the sounds I was making.
While I tried to come down from the high he pulled his hand from my shorts and slipped his fingers into his mouth.
"Sweet, as I imagined my Flower would be." He let out a chuckle when he saw my eyes bugged out at him. "That was your first lesson in being my submissive. You even had an orgasm. I'll let it slide that you didn't ask for permission since you weren't ready."
"That was..." I heaved. "An orgasm?!" I heaved again. No matter how hard I tried, I still couldn't fully catch my breath.
"Oh, Flower. He never let you c*m? We need to rectify this and fast." The car had come to a halt and we were back at the hotel. He opened the door and waited for me to get out before scooping me up and rushing me back to our room. I could only imagine what he meant by rectify.
