The model

The structural model sat in the middle of the table, small beams and a clean base, and I stood over it in the grey shirt with my glasses on and my hair in its ponytail. Eric locked the door. Everyone else had left. He is my partner. He does not report to me. He had asked, before he came up, if I would take the lead and make him earn the praise. I said yes. I told him to stand at the clear end of the table, well away from the model, and to put both hands flat on the wood.
Do not touch the model, I said. Do not touch your cock. I unbuttoned his shirt without hurrying. I wanted his cock out and his attention on my voice. He nodded when I checked. I want you to control it, he said. Please. I stroked his cock slowly, thumb over the head, and I watched his arms lock so his hands would stay. Good, I said. That is what I asked for. When his hips chased my hand I stopped. Breathe. Hands flat. He put them flat. I started again at the same pace and told him he was doing it right.
I took his cock into my mouth until his voice broke, then stopped, because the control is the point and so is the praise. You held, I said. I am pleased with you. He laughed once, shaky, and said he wanted to please me back. On your knees, I said. He knelt and licked my cunt with his hands on his own thighs, careful and steady, tongue on my clit until I said there. I came with one hand braced in my own hair and the other on the table edge, and I said his name like a fact he had earned.
I did not let him cum yet. I stroked his cock again and talked him through the wait. Stay with me. Good. Almost, and not yet. You do not get to fuck my cunt tonight. You get my hand, and you get the praise if you hold. When I finally said now, he came in my hand, forehead against the grey shirt, thanking me in a whisper. I praised that too. I fucked my fist through the last of it so he would feel who was deciding. I wiped my hand, checked that the model had not moved an inch, and kissed him with the glasses still on. You did exactly what I wanted, I said. He looked undone and proud.
