"The Drive"


I started this one a long time ago and never knew where to go with it...

I knew I was riding in your car, but it was as though I was witnessing it from far, far away. I could feel the rush of the wind past my face as we raced along the wildly curving road with the top down. I heard you talking into your cell phone, though I comprehended only the occasional word here and there. Every now and then I would smell the scent of your cigar as the wind whipped the smoke past me. Mostly, however, I was alone inside my mind.


Just as you intended.


We made an interesting sight, I’m sure. You always turn heads, of course, but the sight of you racing down the road in your convertible, dark sunglasses covering your stunning eyes, smoking a cigar and chatting on your phone would have drawn even more attention. Add to that the fact that you had a man in the passenger seat, handcuffed, shackled, blindfolded and gagged and I’m sure you were the center of attention along Highway 29.


Just as you intended.


Nothing phased you, not even when the cop pulled us over. You had no doubt of your control as she approached your BMW to find out what was going on. You had no worries as you explained, with a laugh, that I had been bad and this was my punishment. You did not worry at all as you slipped the gag down around my throat so I could tell the officer that all was exactly as you had said. You knew I was under your perfect control. You knew that the scent of leather was one of the many triggers you had placed within me over months of conditioning. You knew that the scent of your driving glove, only inches from my nose as you pulled the gag down, would be more than enough to keep the pleas for help that were raging inside my mind from reaching my lips. You and the officer shared a laugh. It was at my expense, I’m sure. Did I hear the officer telling you to have fun? Perhaps. You had no more trouble with the police on that drive, though an unusual number did seem to find a reason to patrol that particular stretch of road after the officer returned to her car and drove away…
