That Night I Taught a Man Who’s in Charge

I’m going to confess something I never say out loud: I love the power I have over men. I’m not talking about the power to be desired; anybody has that. I mean the other kind, the one you feel in the pit of your stomach when a big, self-assured man looks at you and, without quite knowing why, lowers his head.

I’m thirty years old, with a body I learned how to use and a smile people mistake for sweetness. It’s a mistake I take advantage of. For years I went to private parties in the upscale neighborhood pretending I was only there for the champagne and the conversation, when really I was hunting.

I was looking for a specific type: the one who boasts too much, the one who fills the room with his voice, the one so convinced of his own importance that he can’t imagine what it’s like to be on his knees with a hard cock and a leash around his neck. Those are my favorites. They fall harder and prettier.

That night I found him in a huge house on the outskirts, one of those parties where nobody asks questions and everyone signs their discretion at the door. His name was Mateo. Twenty-eight years old, expensive suit, model jaw, and the habit of interrupting women mid-sentence.

—So what do you do? —he asked, already sizing me up.

—I find out what people are hiding —I said.

He laughed like it was a joke. It wasn’t.

We talked for half an hour. Well, he talked; I nodded and dropped the occasional precise question, the kind that makes a man feel like the center of the universe. All the while I watched his hands, his neck, the bulge that started to show in his trousers when I moved a couple of inches closer.

—There’s a downstairs room —I said in his ear, brushing his earlobe with my lips—. A private room. Are you bold enough, or do you only know how to talk?

That last line is a master key. You never ask a man like that if he wants to. You ask if he dares, and then he can’t say no without feeling small.

***

The downstairs room was made for this, exactly for this. Padded walls, dim light, a cushioned bench in the center, and hanging on the wall a whole array of ropes, leashes, and toys that he looked at with a mixture of excitement and fear that melted me from the inside out.

—Rules —I said, closing the door—. You obey. If at any point it’s too much, you say “red” and everything stops immediately. Understood?

—Understood —he muttered, and I noticed his voice tremble a little as he lost, for once, control of the conversation.

—On your knees.

He hesitated for a second. Just one. Then he went down, first one knee and then the other, and watching him descend like that, slowly, was better than anything that had happened upstairs with champagne involved. The man who interrupted women was now looking up at me, waiting for the next order.

—The clothes —I said—. All of them. Folded and to the side, like a well-behaved little boy.

He obeyed. He undressed in front of me with the clumsy awkwardness of someone who had never been exposed like that, and when he pulled down his boxers his cock sprang up hard, swollen, the tip already shiny with precum. I looked at it without even trying to hide it, like someone evaluating a purchase, and I saw his face heat up at being inspected like meat. I sat on the bench with my legs crossed, not touching him yet, letting silence do half the work. Anticipation is the best aphrodisiac there is, and I’m very patient.

—Turn around. Slowly.

He did. I tied his wrists behind his back with a soft but firm rope, checking twice that it didn’t pinch too much. That’s the part people don’t see: you take care of the man you humiliate. You take care of him precisely because he’s yours, because while he’s tied up you’re responsible for every centimeter of his body.

—Look at me —I ordered when he was facing me again.

He lifted his head. His eyes were bright, his breathing quick, and between his legs his cock was so hard it bounced against his stomach with every beat. A transparent thread was already dangling from the tip.

—Look at yourself —I said, almost tenderly—. So big, so sure of yourself. And here you are, on your knees, tied up, with your cock hard as a teenager’s, waiting for me to decide what to do with you. Do you like that?

—Yes —he whispered.

—“Yes, ma’am.”

—Yes, ma’am —he repeated, and a blush climbed up his neck to his ears.

I took a thin leather strap from the wall, one with a carabiner at the end, and passed it slowly in front of him so he could see exactly what I was about to do. I looped it around the base of his cock and his balls, tightening just enough to have a firm handle, and when I gave the first gentle tug toward me, his whole body followed as if it had no other choice in the world. A rough moan slipped between his teeth.

—This —I said, winding the other end around my wrist— is what we’re going to do tonight. You’re going to go wherever I go. You’re going to stop when I stop. And every time you feel one of your clever little lines coming on, you bite your tongue. Is that clear?

—Yes, ma’am.

I took him for a walk. It sounds ridiculous written down, but there’s no other way to say it: I walked him around the room, on his knees, leading him by the leash tied to his cock like someone carrying something precious and dangerous at the same time. Every few steps I stopped just to feel how instantly he went still, alert to me, attentive to the slightest change in tension.

I sat down again and left him kneeling between my legs, close enough to feel his breath on my thigh. I slowly hiked up my skirt, centimeter by centimeter, until I showed him I wasn’t wearing anything underneath. His eyes locked onto my shaved pussy and I saw him swallow.

—Ask me to touch you —I said.

—Please —he started.

—Not like that. Ask properly. I want to hear how badly you need it.

What came out of his mouth then bore no resemblance to the man upstairs. It was a long, disordered plea, full of “please, ma’am” and dirty little confessions he probably had never told anyone: that he wanted to lick me, that he wanted me to suck his cock, that he wanted to come wherever I told him. I listened to all of it without rushing, barely stroking his hair as a reward for every word I liked.

—Good boy —I said at last, and I saw how much more effect those two words had on him than any caress. His cock jerked against his stomach and a fat drop rolled down the head.

I grabbed his hair and pulled him slowly toward me, guiding his face until his mouth was pressed against my already soaked pussy.

—Lick —I ordered—. And do it like you know it depends on this whether you get to see me again.

He stuck out his tongue and started licking me with a hunger I hadn’t expected. With his hands tied behind his back he had nothing else but his mouth, and he used it all: the flat tongue sliding all the way up my slit, the tip pressing my clit in slow circles, the lips sucking me in one greedy gulp. I sank my fingers into his hair, neither stroking nor yanking, just setting the pace, warning him with a push whenever I wanted more speed or more depth.

—That’s it, good boy, just like that —I gasped, throwing my head back for a second just to see his mouth shining red and wet with me—. See what you know how to do when someone teaches you to shut up?

I pressed him back to my cunt. I took my pussy into his mouth like it was both reward and punishment, moving his head however I pleased, fucking his tongue with my hips while he moaned against me, unable to do anything but take it. When I felt the first warning of orgasm, I pressed my thighs against his ears and came over his mouth, long and filthy, teeth clenched, leaving him drenched from nose to chin.

—Good —I said when I let go of his head and he slumped a little, breathing hard through his mouth—. Very good. You’ve earned half of it already.

***

I straightened up and made a slow circle around him, letting the click of my heels on the floor set the rhythm. Every time I passed behind him he stayed still, not knowing whether I was going to touch him or leave him waiting, and that uncertainty had him more defeated than any rope. I dragged a nail down his back, slowly, from the nape of his neck to the crease of his ass, and felt the shiver run through him completely.

—What I like most about men like you —I murmured, crouching to speak into his ear while I wrapped my hand around his hard cock and squeezed the base— is the exact moment you stop pretending. Upstairs you were all certainty. Down here, though, you have no idea what’s going to happen. And you love it.

I started jerking him off slowly, my hand closing firm, three long strokes and then a pause. Another three, and a pause. I brushed my thumb over the wet tip slick with precum and spread it all over the glans until he let out a moan that was almost a sob.

—Do you know how long I’m going to keep doing this? —I whispered—. As long as I feel like it. And you’re not coming until I tell you to. Not before. Not one drop before.

He didn’t answer. There was no need. His broken breathing and the way he clenched his fists behind his back said everything for him.

***

I gave him what he asked for in tiny doses. A caress, a long pause. My hand moving up and down his cock until he started trembling, and then I took it away just as his hips pushed forward looking for me. I brought him to the edge and left him there, shaking, tied up, begging, while I decided, over and over again, that not yet.

At last I knelt in front of him. I took his cock in both hands, ran my tongue from his balls to the tip in one slow lick, and looked him in the eyes while I took the whole thing into my mouth. He let out a strangled cry. I sucked him slowly, carefully, drawing him out to the tip and then taking him back down to my throat, knowing perfectly well I wasn’t going to let him finish that way.

Every time I felt his thighs tense, every time he was on the verge, I pulled his cock out of my mouth, squeezed the base hard with my fingers, and waited for the wave to pass while looking him in the eyes.

—No —I said each time he took a deep breath, trying not to come—. Not yet. Good boy. Hold on.

I did it to him five times. Five. By the end his cock was red, swollen, throbbing in my hand, and precum dripped from the tip in a steady thread that ran down his thigh. He was so tense he was shaking all over.

—Do you know why I’ve got you like this? —I asked, leaning in until my lips almost brushed his ear while I kept squeezing the base.

—No, ma’am.

—Because upstairs you thought you were the one in charge. You interrupted, you looked, you decided. And it turns out that all night long, without knowing it, you were choosing this. You were choosing to have a woman keep you on your knees with your cock ready to explode and no way to come. You were choosing me.

I gave the leash a sharp yank, not hard, just enough to tear a muffled moan out of him, and I felt his whole body tighten on the edge of pleasure and surrender. Power isn’t about causing pain. Power is having someone so yielded to you that a single movement of your wrist unravels him completely.

—Please —he gasped—. Please, ma’am, I can’t take it anymore. Let me come, please, I’m begging you.

—I know —I said—. That’s why it’s so much fun.

I kept him there a little longer, on that edge where a man would stop being who he was for one second of relief. And only when I felt like it, when he was already hoarse from begging and soaked from obeying, did I kneel in front of him again, look him straight in the eye, and say:

—Now. Come in my mouth. And don’t you dare look away.

I took his cock all at once and started sucking him fast, sealing my lips around him like a ring, my tongue pressing under the swollen vein. It took three seconds. Three. He came with a rough cry ripped from the bottom of his chest, spurting down my throat in long jolts, his legs trembling so badly the leash was the only thing holding him up. I swallowed every bit of what he gave me without breaking eye contact, and only when he was done did I release his cock from my mouth with a little kiss on the wet tip.

I loosened the leash, freed his hands, and let him collapse onto the bench in a heap of grateful nerves, his chest rising and falling fast.

—Stay still —I said while I rubbed his wrists to bring the circulation back—. Breathe. That’s it. You did very well.

And I meant it. I took care of him then just as I had dominated him before, with the same attention, because that contrast —hard first, attentive after —is what makes them come back, what makes them dream about you for weeks.

***

I went home at dawn with my body buzzing and the taste of him still on my tongue. I threw myself onto the bed without fully undressing and, when I closed my eyes, I saw him again: on his knees, looking up at me, cock dripping, repeating “yes, ma’am” in that broken voice that was no longer the voice of a man sure of anything.

I took out my phone. I had a message from him, sent fifteen minutes earlier, full of awkward thanks and a “when can I see you again?” that made me smile. I left it unanswered for a good while, not out of cruelty, but because that little wait was part of the game too, and because I liked imagining him staring at his screen with his cock half-hard again, thinking about me.

Thinking about him, about how the man who filled the room with his voice had ended up coming in my mouth while asking permission, turned me on all over again. I hiked my dress up to my waist, spread my legs over the sheets, and slid two fingers into my cunt still sensitive from the orgasm in the room downstairs. With my other hand I rubbed my clit in quick circles, never stopping remembering the tension of the leash around my wrist, Mateo’s mouth open against me, the weight of knowing that for one hour that entire body had been mine, truly mine.

I finger-fucked myself thinking about his pleading face, the hard cock bouncing against his stomach, the way he swallowed every time I spoke in that tone. I felt the orgasm climbing up inside me, clamped my thighs around my own hand, and came biting my lip, arched, with an intensity that almost scared me. I lay there for a while in the dark with my heart racing, my fingers shining, smiling up at the ceiling. It wasn’t the longest night of my life or the wildest. But few times have I felt so complete, so exactly in my place.

In the end I answered him with three words: “Saturday. Be punctual.” And I knew, from the way the three dots lit up instantly, that I’d have him on his knees as many times as I wanted. There are men who spend their lives looking for someone to tell them what to do. I just go on finding them.
