“Back and forth, back and forth. Are you going to take it from me? You said you might like to try dominating me sometime. Is that today?”

I watched it swing, still deciding. On the one hand, I wanted to show her that I was a real Dom, since so far, she had only seen my submissive side.

“That’s right, just letting it swing. You could reach out any time, of course, if you wanted to. But it feels so good to just watch it swinging back and forth, back and forth. So what do you want?”

What did I want? I could take a little more time to decide, as I settled more comfortably into my chair.

“It’s good to let your body adjust like that, getting more comfortable so you can relax. Your hands are resting comfortably at your sides, even though they could take this, and show me that dominance you mentioned.” She smirked, and my fingers twitched a bit, wanting to show her, but I hesitated again. “The thing is, it feels so good to just relax there, just let yourself sink, ever so slightly, deeper and deeper as you watch it swing.” She took a step closer. “So maybe you’ll just let me. Maybe today will be for me.” Another step, and she was right in front of me. She smiled down, still swinging the pendulum back and forth, back and forth. I couldn’t take my eyes away, didn’t want to anymore. But I could hear the smile in her voice as she said. “So, what will it be? Dominance, or a lovely trance to my shiny, sparkly pendulum.”

It took me a moment to find my voice. When it did come out, it was slow and slurred, but I managed to push out the word. “Pennnndullum.”

“Hmm, good toy. Very well, then. Drop.”
