These Awkward Moments

Chapter 34 Ties That Bind

**Hey readers,
The mature content in this chapter is a bit more mature than I've previously written. I thought it might rate a special warning.

Delilah's POV
We followed our usual night time routine when we got home. It was nice knowing that our guests would probably be entertaining for some time, allowing us some alone time. We played with Mercy, got her ready for bed, then I nursed her while Daryl snuggled us both. We had moved her crib into the bedroom next to ours when we moved into our new home. Daryl took her and tucked her in while I took a quick shower

We had talked several times since we got married about sexual preferences, boundaries, and what we considered off-limits completely. We also had a fairly interesting list of fantasies started.

When he walked back into the bedroom I was just finishing up my shower. He walked into the bathroom and began stripping off his clothes. I reached for the dark brown glass bottle that held my custom blend of absolute oils and used a small amount to spread over my body.

I wrapped myself in a towel as Daryl was getting into the shower. "That's where that scent comes from! I been tryin' ta figure out what makes ya smell so damn good ever since the first night we met Doc."

I smiled at him. "You like it? I started messin' around with absolute oils a few years ago and came up with this scent that just seemed to fit me perfectly. It's a blend of black currant, jasmine, and vanilla absolutes. There's also a tiny bit of sandalwood essential oil in it. It's very potent and it only takes a tiny bit, so it lasts a long time."

Daryl wrapped his arms around me, putting his face into my neck and inhaling. "Whatever you say Doc. It just smells like you... and sex."

I giggled as he began nibbling my neck. "So were ya gettin' nekkid ta take a shower darlin', or were ya just bein' eager?"

Daryl shrugged. "What's wrong with both?"

He laughed at himself and got in the shower. Since we had moved the baby into the nursery, we had both started sleeping in the nude. It felt so good to lay skin to skin with him as we slept.

I was laying under the covers when he walked out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around his waist. He looked at me and shook his head. "Ya know, you were very naughty today, singin' and dancin' around, gettin' me all turned on in front a everyone. I think you should really be punished for that type of behavior."

My eyes grew wide. "Really? Just what type of punishment was it ya had in mind?"

Daryl went to the closet and rummaged around for a minute. He came out with a box that I recognized from one of my early trips to the supply pantry. It was full of old silk ties that I was intending to use for sewing projects. "I wondered where those had gone. I thought they got lost in the move."

Daryl shook his head and grinned. "Not lost, Just skillfully misappropriated."

He pulled out four ties. "Just what do you plan on doin' with those darlin'?"

He walked towards me with a wicked glint in his eyes. "You're just gonna have ta wait and see."

Daryl reached the foot of the bed and yanked the covers off of me and the bed. He grabbed my ankles and pulled me down in the bed toward him. He began to loop one of the ties around one of my ankles, then tied it to the post on that side of the bed. "So, a few rules about punishment. First, we need a word that you can use if ya feel like things are gettin' out of hand and ya want me ta stop. Second, no touchin' me unless I tell ya to. And third and most important, no orgasm without my permission. Ok?"
