After makiing love, JJ and I had retired inot the land of dreams.

I was awakened rudely in the morning, the covers pulled off of me, my wrists encircled by rope. It took me a minute to realize the camera was on.

JJ already had the whip in his hand. Before I could make any more complaints, he struck with the whip. My skin was still marked from last night. This morning's assault made my skin feel as if it was on fire.

I writhed uunder the whip. The difference between last night and this morning was evident. I needed coffee, I couldn't think. I think some animal part of me took over and I inched closer and closer to the headboard.

Every lash drove me to escape. The rope prevented me from doing much, my foggy brain somehow could not comprehend what was going on. After 5 minutes or so, JJ stopped. I think we made love again. I don't remember.

We slept well that night in the tropics hotel, at least I did. Jane was still tied up, naked and marked. I made love to her as wildly as I always do after a session with the whip. It's great, always.

She was still sleeping when I got up. I grabbed the blankets and uncovered her. She reacted slowly, she didn't expect it. Before she knew it the whip was falling on her, the camera was already on capturing a moment of total spontaneity. She was not prepared for this moment.

She did what she never did before, she tried to escape the whip, she tried to merge into the wall, she tried to dissappear but she couldn't.

I whipped her until I felt I had enough. I found her limits, now it was up to me to show them to her and I knew it would take time. She hadn't yet deciced to beg me to stop.

Maybe she felt she had to prove a point, maybe I was talking too much about Camille and Gabrielle, maybe she wanted to show me that she was better and that she was ready.

But she wasn't ready, she wasn't going to be ready until she admited that she had her limits and I was going to whip her until she did.

But this morning, after I whipped her I took her to the shower. It was time to go down for breakfast.
