Chapter 8: The Throat Training Begins
The iron rose took its place on the mantel in the loft, a stark, beautiful contrast to the softness of the living space. It watched over them, a silent testament. For a month, their dynamic deepened, the boundaries of surrender and control becoming a language they spoke with their bodies. The training of her ass had been a profound colonization, but Marcus was a man who understood that ownership was multifaceted. Possession required access to every part.
Tonight, the loft was dim, lit only by a single floor lamp that pooled light onto the worn Persian rug. The rest of the space receded into shadow. The air smelled of sandalwood from a burned-out incense stick and the sharper, cleaner scent of the whiskey in Marcus’s glass. He sat in the center of the couch, naked, the supple leather cool against his skin. One arm was draped along the back, the other held the tumbler loosely. His cock lay thick and heavy against his thigh, already half-hard with intent.
Elara stood by the bookcase, wearing only the oversized t-shirt of his she’d slept in. She felt the weight of his gaze before he spoke.
“Come here.”
She padded over, the hardwood cool under her bare feet. He didn’t move, just watched her approach, his eyes dark and unreadable in the low light.
“Take that off.”
She pulled the shirt over her head, letting it fall to the floor. The air raised goosebumps on her skin. He sipped his whiskey, his eyes tracing her from her honey-blonde curls down to her small, painted toes.
“Kneel.”
She sank to her knees on the rug between his spread thighs. The position was familiar, reverent. From here, she was eye-level with his cock, which stirred further, beginning to swell and lift from his thigh, a fleshy, insistent presence. The lamplight glinted off the dampness already beading at the tip.
“You’ve taken me in one hole,” he said, his voice a low rumble. “You’ve learned to crave it. To use it. That’s good.” He set the glass on the floor with a definitive clink. “Now we work on another.”
He didn’t elaborate. He didn’t need to. Her gaze flicked from his face to his cock and back. A flutter of nervous anticipation tightened her stomach. This was different. This was a service, an act of submission that felt more intimate, more vulnerable than being bound in the forge.
“Go on,” he said, his hands resting on his own thighs. “Start.”
She leaned forward, her small hands coming up to frame him. He was hot and velvety against her palms. She smelled the clean, musky scent of his skin. Tentatively, she pressed her lips to the crown, tasting the salt-sharp pre-come. She opened her mouth, taking the head inside, her tongue flattening against the broad underside.
A soft groan escaped him. “That’s it. Get used to the taste of me.”
She began to move, bobbing her head slowly, taking an inch, then two. She focused on the mechanics, the wet suction, the slide of her lips. It was awkward at first, her jaw already aching from the stretch. She used her hand at the base, working him in tandem with her mouth.
He let her continue for a minute, his breath deepening. Then his hands came up, his fingers threading firmly into the curls at her scalp. Not forcing, just anchoring.
“Deeper,” he instructed, his voice tighter.
She tried, sinking down another inch, but her body rebelled. The head of his cock bumped against the back of her throat, triggering a violent gag reflex. She jerked back, coughing, her eyes watering.
He didn’t release her hair. His grip was patient, firm. “Look at me.”
She blinked up at him, tears blurring her vision.
“Again,” he said. “Breathe through your nose. Just as you breathe through the stretch elsewhere. Your throat is just another muscle. It can learn.”
He guided her head back down. She took him into her mouth again, the taste of him flooding her senses. When she reached the same point, the instinct to gag surged, panic flaring in her chest. She tried to pull away, but his hand held her steady, a gentle, unyielding pressure.
“Breathe,” he commanded, a quiet force in the dim room.
She sucked air in sharply through her nostrils, the vibration skittering along his length. As she exhaled, she consciously tried to relax the convulsing muscles of her throat. The panic receded, just a fraction. The head of his cock slipped past the barrier.
The sensation was profound. A deep, stretching fullness in a new channel. Her eyes streamed, her nostrils flared, but she held. He groaned, the sound vibrating through his body into hers.
“Good girl. Fuck, just like that. Let me feel that tight little throat.”
He didn’t thrust. He let her hold him there, acclimating to the invasion. Saliva dripped from her stretched lips, down his shaft, onto his balls. Her world narrowed to the burning stretch in her jaw, the blocked airway, the total vulnerability of having this most vital passage occupied by him.
After a lifetime of seconds, he pulled her back by her hair, letting her gasp in a ragged, shuddering breath. Air had never tasted so sweet. She panted, drool slick on her chin.
“Again,” he said, and there was no refusal.
He guided her back onto him, and this time, he didn’t stop at the throat. As she breathed out, he pushed forward, feeding more of his length into her. She choked, a wet, guttural sound, but he held her, implacable. Her nose pressed into the coarse hair at his base. He was fully seated, his entire cock buried down her throat, his hips flush against her face.
He held her there. Time dissolved. She fought for calm, focusing on the inhalations through her nose, tiny sips of air. The struggle was primal. Her body thrashed on a cellular level, demanding she reject this intrusion. But beneath the panic, a dark, submissive thrill took root. This was ultimate surrender. He owned her breath. He owned her voice. He was inside her in a way that felt more violating, more complete, than any other penetration.
Just as black spots danced at the edges of her vision, he pulled her off.
She collapsed forward, hands on his thighs, hacking, dragging in huge, sobbing breaths. Tears and saliva coated his skin.
Before she could recover, his hand fisted in her hair again. “You can take it. Now, we move.”
He didn’t give her a chance to think. He pulled her mouth back onto his cock, not to the hilt this time, but began a slow, rhythmic fuck of her face. Each forward stroke pressed past her gag reflex, each withdrawal let her gulp a half-breath. In—a stretch, a choke. Out—a gasp, a string of spit. Out.
He set a merciless, pedagogic pace. “That’s it. Open up for me. Take your master’s cock. This pretty mouth is mine. This throat is mine. You give it to me.”
His words, filthy and absolute, wove through the wet, choking sounds. Her mind blanked. There was only the rhythm, the stretch, the salty-bitter taste of him, the overwhelming scent of his skin. Her own arousal was a distant throb, ignored yet persistent, a slick heat between her own thighs. She became an instrument, a vessel for his use. Her hands slid from his thighs to brace against the floor, her back arching, her body offering itself to the violation.
He read her surrender in the gradual loosening of her jaw, the diminishing gag. He increased the pace, his hips pumping up to meet her mouth. The wet, slapping sounds of his balls against her chin filled the room. His breathing grew ragged, his control fraying.
“You want me to come down this pretty, used-up throat?” he grunted, his voice thick with strain.
She couldn’t speak. She made a desperate, affirmative noise around his cock, a vibration that made his thighs tremble.
“Then swallow it. You swallow every fucking drop.”
With a final, deep snarl, he buried himself to the root and held. His release was a hot, pulsing flood against the back of her throat. It was bitter, salty, shockingly abundant. She gagged violently, but he held her locked in place, his fingers tight in her hair.
“Swallow.”
She fought her body’s revolt. She willed her throat to work. One convulsive gulp, then another. She felt the thick, warm liquid slide down her esophagus, a tangible invasion internalized. He groaned, long and low, as she milked him with the contractions of her throat. She swallowed until there was nothing left, until he softened slightly within her.
Finally, he released her.
She fell back onto her haunches, her body wracked with coughs, her face a mess of tears, spit, and his release. She wiped her mouth with the back of her hand, trembling uncontrollably. Her throat felt raw, bruised, profoundly altered.
He watched her, his chest rising and falling, his cock glistening and spent. There was no immediate softness in his face, only a spent intensity. Then, he reached down, his hand not to her hair, but to her cheek. His thumb, calloused and gentle, wiped a tear from under her eye.
“Look at you,” he said, his voice hoarse. “My perfect girl.”
He stood, his tall frame towering over her. He disappeared into the kitchen and returned with a glass of cool water. “Here. Small sips.”
She took it with shaking hands, the water a blissful relief on her ravaged throat. He sat back on the couch, pulling her up to sit beside him. Not on his lap, but leaning against him. He took the glass when she was done and set it aside. Then he pulled her into his arms, tucking her head under his chin. One big hand stroked her hair, slowly, rhythmically.
They sat in the silent, shadowy loft. The fierce vulnerability of what she’d just done settled over her like a second skin. It wasn’t humiliation. It was a stark, unvarnished gift of trust. She had given him a part of herself that was instinctually guarded, and he had taken it, not carelessly, but with a ruthless, caring purpose.
“You okay?” he asked after a long while, his voice a vibration in his chest.
She nodded against him. “My throat hurts.”
“I know.” He kissed the top of her head. “It’ll get easier. Your body will learn. Just like it did with the plug. Just like it did taking my cock in your ass.” He paused. “What you did tonight… that was harder. That was a different kind of surrender.”
She understood. The other acts were about her pleasure, twisted and intense though it was. This was purely about his. It was service in its rawest form. And in completing it, in swallowing the physical proof of his climax, she felt a bizarre, soaring pride.
“I liked it,” she whispered, the admission shocking her as she said it.
His arms tightened around her. “I know you did. I felt you. At the end, your throat wasn’t fighting. It was welcoming me. Begging for it.” He shifted, looking down at her. “That’s the shape, Elara. That welcoming. That’s what we’re making.”
He lifted her and carried her to bed. He didn’t take her again. He simply held her, her raw throat against his pectoral, his heartbeat a steady drum under her ear. As she drifted towards sleep, her mind replayed the sensation of him emptying into her, the command in his voice, the total, devastating completion of the act. A new hunger, quiet and deep, uncoiled in the wreckage of her throat.
The forge had tempered the iron of her will. Tonight, in the soft shadows of the loft, he had tempered the very air she breathed.
Tonight, in the soft shadows of the loft, he had tempered the very air she breathed. That night became a blueprint.
Throat fucking wove itself into the fabric of their days, a new and brutal thread in the tapestry of their dynamic. Her pleasure, once a primary focus, became a secondary consideration, a contingent reward dispensed at his discretion. The goal was her usefulness, her capacity.
"Open wider," he'd say, his thumb pressing down on her chin as she knelt between his legs on the living room rug. "You're thinking about gagging. Don't think. Just swallow."
He coached her through the panic, his voice a calm, relentless anchor in the storm of her reflex. He taught her to time her breaths, to relax specific muscles she never knew she could control. Her jaw ached constantly in those first weeks, a dull throb that reminded her of his ownership with every bite of her morning toast.
He varied the positions, dismantling her ability to find comfort in any single ritual. Some evenings, he’d lay on his back on the bed, pulling her over him until her head hung upside down off the side. Gravity altered the entire sensation, his cock sliding into her throat with a frightening, deep ease that stole her breath in a new way.
"Fuck, look at that," he'd grunt, watching himself disappear into the red, stretched ring of her lips from this obscene angle. Tears would pool in her nostrils, and she’d focus on the ceiling until it blurred.
Other times, he’d straddle her chest on the couch, his knees pinning her arms to the cushions, his full weight a delicious oppression. He’d feed his cock into her mouth from above, controlling the depth with the roll of his hips. She was utterly trapped, a vessel beneath him, and the sheer dominance of it would make her cunt weep, unnoticed, into the fabric below.
"Take it all, princess," he'd murmur, grinding his pelvis against her lips, his pubic bone a brutal pressure point. "Your face is my favorite fucking toy."
Her favorites were the times he’d remember her. Sitting on the couch, his hand fisted in her hair, fucking up into her mouth with slow, precise strokes, he’d suddenly let his other hand wander. His calloused fingers would trail down her stomach as she choked and spluttered around him.
He’d find her clit, swollen and neglected, and circle it with a detached, clinical precision that was its own kind of madness. Or he’d push two fingers into her cunt, crooking them to that devastating spot inside while his cock breached her throat. The dual penetration, the overwhelming fullness at both ends, would short-circuit her brain.
She’d come like that, shuddering violently around his fingers as her throat convulsed wildly around his cock. The conflicting signals of pleasure and violation would fuse into a single, incomprehensible peak. "That's it," he'd growl, feeling her orgasm through both openings. "Come on my cock while you choke on it. Good fucking girl."
One Thursday, after a long day of detailed illustrations, her mind was cluttered with line weights and pigment codes. He saw the distraction in her eyes the moment she walked into the forge. He didn't speak. He simply pointed to the cleared space before the cold anvil.
"Kneel."
She did, the stone biting into her knees. He unbuckled his belt, the leather sliding through the loops with a whisper of intent. He didn't remove his jeans, just freed his cock, already thick and heavy. He stepped forward.
"No hands," he said. "Just your mouth. Get me wet."
She leaned in, taking him between her lips, swirling her tongue. She worked him to a hard, slick gleam, her mind finally quieting, focusing on this single, wet task. When he was dripping, he pulled back.
"Now turn around. Bend over the anvil."
Her heart hammered. The anvil was sacred, a tool of his craft. To be bent over it was a profound desecration. She obeyed, pressing her palms against the cold, pitted steel. He pushed her shirt up her back, hooked his thumbs in the waistband of her leggings and panties, and dragged them down to her knees.
The air was cool on her exposed skin. She heard the rip of a foil packet, the slick sound of him sheathing himself. His hand, still damp from her saliva, pressed between her shoulder blades, folding her further over the unforgiving metal.
He didn't enter her cunt. He found the other hole, the one he’d spent a month meticulously preparing. With one hand spreading her cheek, he pushed the head of his cock against her ass. He was slick with her spit, not oil, and the dry friction burned for a terrible, wonderful second before he sank in.
She cried out, the sound echoing in the quiet forge.
"Quiet," he said, his voice a low rasp in her ear. He gripped her hips and began to move, each thrust a deep, punishing claim. "This is what you're for. This tight, greedy hole. You take me here because I want to be here. You understand?"
"Yes," she gasped, her cheek mashed against the cold iron.
"Good." His pace was relentless, a steady, driving rhythm that shook her whole body against the anvil. "Now open your mouth."
Confused, she turned her head. He shoved his thumb between her lips. "Suck. Get it wet."
She obeyed, swirling her tongue around the digit, coating it. He pulled it out, glistening, and brought it down between her legs. He rubbed her clit in hard, crude circles, the stimulation almost painful in its directness. Pleasure, sharp and unexpected, lanced through the deep, stretching ache in her ass.
He was fucking her with a brutal efficiency, his thumb working her clit, his breath hot on her neck. "You come when I say," he ordered. "Not before. You hold it. You take my cock and you hold your fucking come until I tell you to let it go."
It was an impossible command. The sensations were too vast, too conflicting. The pleasure built like a scream behind a dam, pressure threatening to blow her apart. She whimpered, a high, desperate sound.
"Now."
The dam broke. Her orgasm crashed through her, a violent, silent convulsion that tightened her ass around his cock like a vise. He swore, his rhythm faltering as her muscles milked him. With a final, grinding thrust, he buried himself to the hilt and growled, his own release shuddering through him.
They stayed like that for a long moment, slumped over the anvil, two creatures forged together in the aftermath. He pulled out slowly, his hands gentling as he turned her and gathered her against him. Her leggings were still around her knees. She trembled violently.
He lifted her, carrying her to the worn leather bench, sitting with her curled in his lap. He didn't speak. He just stroked her hair, his chin resting on her head, looking at the anvil they had just defiled. The silence was complete, broken only by their slowing breaths.
In that stillness, Elara understood. The forge wasn't just where he tempered iron. It was where he tempered her. Each act, each surrender, each raw and filthy claiming, was another pass under the hammer, another dip in the quenching oil. He was building something in her, something as strong and unbreakable and uniquely shaped as the rose on the mantel.
And she was beginning to love the fire.
