Blessed by light and burden of shadows. [ closed ]

WHO Shannon Vaughn ([personal profile] privatematter), Eli Delacroix ([personal profile] aspectional).
WHAT Eli is an idiot; Shannon is curious. How exactly does D/s go down when you're not to the Having Sex stage in the relationship yet?
WHEN Late 1990. Seven months after Jumpscapades.
WHERE Shannon's place.

Shannon was anxious. Not in a bad way, but the anticipatory way that everyone got when something new and exciting was going up and there was no way it could go badly, but predicting the end outcome was almost impossible. It was a great feeling, but one that left Shannon feeling like a teen heading out to prom instead of a grown man getting ready to have fun with his boyfriend and potentially make some hilariously heartfelt gestures to express his trust in Eli. That was probably something he didn't do enough in general, actually.

Breakfast had been something simple. Pancakes, fresh cut fruit and sausage. Eli had come over pretty early to get ready, talking over the generalities of what they were going to do while the specifics were to wait for after they were done. Well, now they were done and sitting on the couch, and Shannon's leg was jiggling even under the hand he had placed on his knee to keep himself still. Lacey had wandered off after breakfast, stomach filled with her own food and presumably was napping on the foot of the bed in Shannon's room. Probably for the better, really.

"So," he said, ignoring the obvious tell he was giving off. If Eli took it for misapprehension, then Shannon was going to definitely lean over and smack him. "Where do we start?"

While Shannon took his time lacing up and putting on his boots for him, Eli moved on to putting on his jacket. It was one that was reminiscent of a straitjacket with straps going up the front with a tall collar and a strap on that as well. Instead of doing the straps himself, he decided to wait until Shannon was finished with his boots. If he liked the boots, then he might enjoy the jacket as well and he didn't want him to miss the chance to strap him up.

As soon as Shannon was done with his boots, Eli decided to grab his attention by carefully removing his glasses and setting them aside, smiling slightly as he did. "I need you to help me with my jacket now. This one's a bit more complicated than the last."

Seeing Shannon's reaction to the jacket made Eli very aware that he had made the right choice in bringing this out for this scene. He watched him work on the jacket, his eyes keeping close track of his hands. Watching Shannon's hands move over things and work were one of Eli's favorite things to do. There were lovely hands and just seeing them deftly work on things like laces or even these straps was something that downright mesmerized him.

Eli reached down and grabbed Shannon's wrists when he had seemed to finish on the jacket and moved them up to his neck so that his hands could feel the high collar that wasn't strapped together like the rest of the jacket Shannon had done up. "You missed a spot. I'd like you to fix that for me."

"Much better," Eli said calmly as soon as Shannon was done, not even checking to see how well it was done. He trusted Shannon's thoughts on the tightness of the strap and didn't feel like he needed to bother with it. Reaching down, he grabbed Shannon's hand once more, but this time he kissed his palm before letting go. "Now let's see about you. I think you're wearing far too many clothes."

First thing first, Eli started with the sweater vest, carefully pulling it over Shannon's head and arms, tossing it away before moving onto the shirt. He took longer to remove that, gloved fingers sliding up his side as he took that off as well. Then he stopped and looked at him for a moment. "We're definitely going to have to get you a new outfit to wear for this."

"No, that was not the idea of it," he answered as he allowed Shannon to knead his jacket, being reminded vaguely of a cat while he does. The point wasn't to get him naked, but to remove everything that could be connected to his life outside of the scene. "I was thinking leather. maybe a collar, maybe something else to accentuate your body more."

There was a frown at Shannon taking off his pants and Eli reached out to grab Shannon's hands and stop him from removing them himself. He didn't say anything, instead just holding his hands tightly enough to be a warning and waiting for Shannon to realize what was going on before he would have to tell him what he did wrong.

"Collars are important symbols of ownership of the sub by their Dom. It's not something to be taken lightly and I think it's something we should consider," Eli explained to Shannon, leaving out the most important part of what the collar means. He doesn't think it is important to explain at the moment and while it is actually quite a big thing, it's not something he wants to shoulder on Shannon right now. "The kind that shows off your best assets. Well, besides your eyes."

Keeping hold of his hands, he pulled Shannon close and then forced his hands behind his back, holding them there as he sighed disappointingly. He missed the point that Eli was trying to get across, but he'll fix that mistake immediately. "I did not, because it's my turn."

"Something like that." More like something more than that, but Eli was definitely understating it to keep it from being something Shannon dwells on too much. It wasn't a discussion he wanted to have until later when Shannon knew what he was getting into. There was a soft laugh at Shannon fluttering his eyelashes. "I said best, not most useful. You could probably seduce a straight man with those pretty blue eyes of yours if you wanted."

He could feel Shannon's body language change from tense to somewhere more relaxed and it was only then that Eli released his hold on his hands. "I'm going to have to bind them for our scene today," he stated calmly as he worked on taking off Shannon's pants. "A reminder for next time: You dress me and I undress you."

"It's a shame," Eli admitted with a slight shrug. He had always used his eye color to his advantage, but knowing Shannon, he might not truly be aware of the power he held in his eyes, beautiful and sightless as they were. "You could definitely take advantage of people with the right look."

There wasn't any reason to stop Shannon's hands now while they weren't interrupting what Eli was doing, so he let them be for now. Once they moved, there would definitely be a change in that and Eli would restrain them, but it was fine for now. "That's right. It's not permanent, so if you remember the rules, I'll remove them."

"Don't I know it," he murmured softly as he stroked Shannon's temple. It was probably a good thing that he couldn't see and thus use the manipulative powers of his eyes to their full extent. Everyone would be doomed if he could.

"Of course," Eli started, pulling Shannon closer to him as he did. The rules were going to be a bit more relaxed this time now that Eli knew how Shannon would deal with them. "Do not do anything unless I have explicitly ordered you to or given you permission, you are to refer to me as sir instead of my name, and if I ask you a question, I expect you to answer."

"I know you can," Eli answered as he stopped stroking his temple to move his hand into his hair. The rules were easy so that he'd have no problems following them once he got into the right mindset. Get too complicated and everything started to fall apart. "My clever precious boy. You'll do well today and make me happy, won't you?"

Reaching back to the bed, he picked up his bag and removed his hand from Shannon's hair so that he would be able to follow him out to where Eli was going to set things up for their scene. "Follow me. We won't be needing the bed today."

Taking Shannon's hand with his own, Eli led him out of the bedroom and into the main living area. Once they were in the main entryway, he stopped and let go of his hand so that he could dig through the bag, pulling out a couple things that he would be using today. It was bondage things, of course, since he had said he was going to tie his hands, but there was also a flat square cushion he pulled out as well.

"Hold your hands out in front of you for me," he said as he started to affix a belt seemingly backwards onto Shannon's waist. Then he placed the cushion by Shannon's hands for him to take. "I want you to kneel on that for today. It'll be more comfortable than you kneeling straight on the floor."

The belt was leather, as it seemed all of Eli's D/s tools were, and it had a metal d ring on the back that seemed to be the main reason that Eli had put it on backwards. Once Shannon was on his knees, Eli knelt down and took his wrists gently so that he could put the restraints on them. They too were leather and seemed similar to the belt with a d ring to attach them to things. Eli took out a y chain and hooked the restraints together and then attached the restraints to the belt, limiting the movement of Shannon's hands considerably.

"There we go," Eli said cheerfully as he reached up and kissed Shannon's forehead gently. He then started to adjust Shannon's legs to make him more comfortable. "Today is going to be something simple. You're going to kneel on this cushion until you get used to it since I will be forcing you into this position more often in the future."

Seeing Shannon's look of confusion made Eli laugh as he sat back and looked at him, an amused expression on his face. "The plan was that I wanted to draw you," he said, trying to keep himself from laughing while talking. "And I'm going to be talking to you about a few things while I'm drawing so that you can learn something during this besides the obvious 'how to kneel' lesson."

He grabbed his bag and pulled out his sketchpad, pencil, and eraser while he was still talking, tapping the side of Shannon's face lightly with the eraser end of his pencil. "You're not going to have any problems with that are you? And let me know whenever you need a drink and I'll help you with that."
