There was a magnetism about Mikie which was impossible to ignore. The woman could have been dressed in a sackcloth and still beckoned Sam's gaze, but seeing her in leather was breathtaking. It removed any lingering doubts in Samantha's mind about how this night would go, the gear itself further instilling that while she might set the boundaries, Mikie would decide how to play within them. The thought alone made her heart race in anticipation. She started to tell Mikie how wonderfully suited she was to leather, but the unexpected compliments flustered her enough to add a bit of colour already. "Oh!" Sam blushed and covered her face briefly with one hand as nervous laughter broke up her words, "I - No, no - you look amazing! Truly! I really enjoy getting the full effect, and the leather suits you perfectly. Thank you for offering to wear it."<br/><br/>'Amazing' was an understatement, Sam's doe-eyed gaze<i>still</i>taking in the sight as Mikie nipped off to the changing for a few seconds. It was all too easy to imagine tracing her fingertips along the edge of the leather skirt and finding out for herself how soft those slender thighs were...<br/><br/>"Hmm?" Sam tilted her head, realizing Mikie hadn't only walked back out, but was talking. Safety reasons. "Oh, yes, I suspected it might be safest that way. It's one thing to fall on a nice, soft mattress, but I'd love if I managed<i>not</i>to fall on the floor. At least not on my first night," she winked. As intimidating as the straps Mikie choose<i>looked</i>, Sam was eager to feel them. She forgot her notable lack of clothing and eagerly followed after the woman, never more than a step away. For all the fun she was having, Sam's smile softened as she promised, "I trust you will stop if I ask... and I also trust you won't abuse my trust. We won't get very far if I can't offer you at least that much."<br/><br/>The collar wasn't quite expected, but it looked<i>right</i>in Mikie's hands, held open and waiting for Sam's neck. She met the other woman's gaze, both curious about what a future with Mikie might look like and eager to find out. For a moment, it was all she could do to nod, but she finally managed to answer, "Okay." It was hard to stand still when she was so excited, but Sam leaned down the tiniest bit so Mikie could fasten the collar. A single, whimpering note sounded despite her best efforts to contain it. "It feels really good," she breathed. The ankle and wrist cuffs that followed made it all feel so much more real.<br/><br/>Panties... "For now," Sam nodded. "I-" she broke off on a soft gasp, Mikie's bold touch like the strike of a match, setting her body afire. Forgetting what she had been about to say, she didn't try to hide what was so obvious. "I am... yes, definitely good." When had her cheeks last felt so warm? Oh, right, when Mikie had similarly touched her breast at the bar. How easily could this woman wreck her?<br/><br/>Sam was a little hesitant to climb up on the bench, but only because she was slowly testing the feel of it as she settled her knees to each side. It felt plenty sturdy, even if she feared being on the heavier side of those who would have been up there before. There was a bit of adjusting as she wiggled into a comfortable position, her breasts spilling almost fully out of her bra when she laid down on the top of the bench. "Like this?" Sam queried, trying to peek back and make sure her ankles were in the right position to be attached. "Oh!" she giggled a moment later, realizing her wrists couldn't be fastened if she kept them tucked near her waist. She held her hands out one-at-a-time to Mikie, letting the woman adjust her as necessary until everything was secure.<br/><br/>Tugging lightly on the restraints, Sam nodded. "Everything feels..." Nice? That wasn't the right word. "Safe," she decided, "I like knowing I won't accidentally slide off." There was more, however, a warmth spreading through her chest as she began to thing on what would happen next. Resting her cheek on the leather bench, Sam's voice was slowly becoming breathier. "I<i>really</i>like knowing you can do anything to me right now..."
