"To keep you close," Eli replied. The lack of hands available to touch had made his earlier show of what he wanted not something Shannon had noticed. He'd explain it for him now, though. It wasn't something he was going to keep from him, after all. "If I attach the leash to your collar, I can wrap the length of it around myself so that we can stay close together. Think of it as a mutual bondage moment instead of me using a leash on you."

With a gentle tug and a soft "Come with me," Eli led Shannon across the room where his bondage frame was placed. Detaching the restraints from the harness, he freed Shannon's hands and took one to place it on the frame for him to examine. "If we're going to do this right, then I'm going to put you on this for our first try with the whip."
