head held high ; walk with pride

Neo hummed to himself as he sat in the library. His pen was tapping, and with each finished sentence he twirled his pen in his fingers. He was paying attention to his studying, mostly, but every so often his eyes would drag to the window and he'd sigh.

He was bored. Although, he was still studying.

Too hot for shirts, really. Neo didn't care if he was half naked on campus. He could always say he was on the way to the gym, or was going to one of the jogging tracks. He hummed, flashing an easy smile to anyone who passed him by.

The first demonstration he'd ever taken part in had been very interesting, mostly due to his curiosity and the Dominants experience. And while he wasn't the one submitting, the same curiosity still stood. Neo had taken the time to meet up with Harriet and Evan as the weeks piled on, so he felt comfortable enough to watch them slide into their designations. Evan had some reservations about a second year student watching, the third year submissive being a private person, but Harriet (a fifth year Domme) reassured him from that. In all honesty, the pair's spark had made Neo's smile grow a bit bigger than needed.

          It was clear that they'd been paired up before. Whether or not it was personal fun or school lessons, that wasn't for Neo to ask.

          Come the day that they had to go about the demonstration, Neo went out of his way to greet Evan before he sat down, knowing that the submissive was nervous despite himself. Harriet waved to the dark boy as he sat, Neo giving her a pleased wave as he pulled out his notebook and rolled up his sleeves; greeting the elder who had to observe them with him. After jotting down the date, and penning up a title for the summary, Neo shifted before he stilled.

          Harriet gently asked Evan to kneel, and with her hand still on the back of his neck, they began. And, so did Neo.

                    H. Clarke, fifth year Domme, and E. Richardson, third year submissive, are to demonstrate not only their knowledge of safe and sound practices of BDSM but also their ability to fufil their designation. Madame Clarke, before the scene began, went above and beyond the call to make Evan comfortable; explaining in depth not only Rinaldi's safety speech about fire drills or unexpected events, but also asking Evan what his limits are (soft, hard, do not want). Madame Clarke also asked Evan to repeat his safeword several times, and then asked him to show her his non-verbal safeword. Before they even began the scene there was an obvious show of Madame Clarke's level of comfortableness of her designation, as she revelled in the easy power imbalance. 

                    Once they had permission to continue, Madame Clarke explained the scene to Evan in depth and gave him time to put in his opinion. While sex is not a must for this demonstration, the pair's history together meant that they already possessed a level of ease that helped them later on. Evan's hard no of anal penetration did mean that Madame Clarke had to change the initial idea. 

                    Madame Clarke decided to use leather cuffs to tie Evan down - spread eagle, with little room for movement - and to gag him. She then asked, again, for Evan's approval before she moved on. She then straddled Evan, and aroused him with simple movements as she used a (red) candle to drip wax over the submissive's chest. The mixture of pain and Madame Clarke's movements clearly aroused Evan, and while it wasn't obvious Madame Clarke did ensure that she kept an eye on Evan's movements in case he became overwhelmed. Once Evan's chest was decorated with wax, Madame Clarke continued to arouse Evan with both her movements and a series of pinches, clothes pegs and whips. Madame Clarke kept Evan on edge of his orgasm, she deciding to ride the submissive for her own pleasure as well, for the remaining time of the demonstration; only giving Evan reprieve when the submissive was a mess. I can't tell for sure, but I do think he disappeared into his own safe-zone, or sub-space, for most of the session as he was extremely keen on doing her every whim - down to trying to see ahead to what she may like.

                    The chemistry between H. Clarke and E. Richardson was clear to me, and I admire the way that the two found their middle ground. When meeting with them during the week, I know that H. Clarke enjoys penetrating her submissives so to see her so very willing to give away her favourite method of domination with no attempt at persuading was refreshing. Not only did it relax Evan, but it relaxed me and made observing very comfortable to watch. Like I mentioned earlier, the way that the pair already had an ease did help them significantly. There was no hesitation, and they both became their designation quickly. It was an honour to watch Madame Clarke take Evan to pieces, and then gently put him back together.

          Seeing that the scene was over, Neo politely said his goodbye and left quickly with his notebook in hand. It was one thing to watch a demonstration. It was far too private to watch Harriet hold and caress Evan back to himself.

                    It was an honour to watch them.

The courtyard was nice. The sun made it seem almost otherwordly, which made reading his text book a little more easier to handle. Neo wasn't feeling himself lately, whether that be because of what had happened the last time he was here or because of the fact someone he counted as his close friend was losing it and not talking to him about it (and really, weren't they the same issue?, so studying was becoming a much larger struggle than it used to be. Letting out a harsh breath, he slammed his book shut and threw his pen across the brick.

"Bloody calculus."
