Keywords: MF, asphyx, breath control ******************************************************* AWAKENINGS PART X I once again swam toward consciousness, my eyelids twitching, my eyes opening momentarily, then the lids fluttering closed again. My breath rasped in my tortured throat, and my chest heaved as I sucked in heavy, rasping breaths. Every few minutes, my body faded back towards unconsciousness, and my breath came in small, shallow gasps. I wondered how much more my body could take before it refused to be revived to fight once more. I felt coldness beneath me and forced my eyes open to find myself lying stomach down on the cold marble floor. My knees were spread wide, and held so by ropes tied from each knee to hooks on the walls. My ankles, bound tightly together were pulled up behind me. Around my waist was cinched a wide leather belt. Protruding from the back of the belt was a hard metal stake, at the end of which were two padded shackles. My ankles were secured in these shackles, the metal peg binding my ankles about eight inches from my waist. My arms were bound behind me at the elbow, my wrists bound and secured to the ankle shackles, my back arched severely. My head lolled on the floor. Too weak to lift it, I dragged my head from one side to the other, looking for You. I tried to say Your name, but the words would not come, a series of raspy gurgles escaping my throat instead. I sensed movement behind me and it was then I realized that there was a noose around my throat. You stepped around and kneeled before me, holding the end of a rope in one hand and a large ball gag in the other. You laid the rope on the floor and forced the ball gag between my lips. I tried to shake my head, to fight the gag, but even my mouth was too exhausted from our relentless lovemaking session. I grunted, desperately trying to communicate with You, to insist that we stop for a short time so that I could regain my strength. But it was no use. Saliva dripped from the ball gag, and my breathing became labored, my body quivering as it strained to take in as much air as possible. You rose up in front of me, picked up the rope end beside You, and began pulling it down, hand over hand. I heard the rope moving through a pulley in the ceiling and braced myself for the impending pain of the noose pulling me aloft. My bracing was futile, my body too weak to prepare itself. The noose squeezed my throat and my body was pulled erect until I was "standing" on my knees, which were cushioned by small concave pads. You brought Your legs around in front of You, and pushing them beneath my thighs, which were stretched taut by the ropes binding my knees apart, You lay on the floor and maneuvered Yourself under my body. Looping the rope around Your right fist, You lifted me a foot off the floor, my body flailing gently, and used Your other hand to guide me until I was hanging above the head of Your cock, which was pointing towards the ceiling, moisture glistening on its end. You eased my dangling body downwards a few inches and my pussy enveloped the end of Your penis. With one swift movement, You dropped me down another eight inches, impaling my on Your hardened cock. Using the rope, You guided me up and down on your cock. My head lolled forward and my eyes rolled around beneath my heavy lids, my face a bright red, my lips a deep purple. Saliva was falling in a steady thread from the ball gag onto Your chest. You lowered the rope and reached up to loosen the noose, allowing me to sit on Your groin, while You slowly fucked me and caressed my heaving breasts. My eyes closed while I sucked in great gasps of oxygen. During one such intake of air, just prior to my exhale, You suddenly and violently pulled me up off the floor. My lungs full of oxygen that they could not expel, my chest heaved and my eyes widened in terror at the sheer pain I was feeling. I had never had my airway cut off with air IN my lungs, only with most of it expelled OUT. I was now experiencing sensations I had never felt before, and my body jerked beneath the noose more violently than it ever had before. I could sense Your increased pleasure and tried to shake my head, tried to moan, ANYTHING to somehow signal You that something was desperately wrong. You, lost in the experience of pure ecstasy that these different, more violent and thrashing convulsions of my body were inflicting on Your cock, was oblivious to my efforts of communication. Using every ounce of strength I could find, I rocked my body backward, hoping to relieve the noose's pressure by moving my weight to the back of my neck rather than my carotid arteries. You, though, reached up with Your free hand and pulled me toward You, Your other hand holding tight to the rope. As my body fell forward, I succumbed to the blackness, wondering if this would be the last time. After I lost consciousness, my body continued to thrash on top of you, writhing wildly and sending waves of pleasure through Your cock. You thrust Your hips up to meet mine as my cunt crashed down again and again onto your pelvis. On the verge of climax, You let go of the rope and pulled me down on top of You, but my back remained arched due to my swollen lungs thrusting my breasts forward. As the waves of pleasure in Your groin faded from their crescendo, You ran Your hands over my body, feeling the tightness of my muscles and, when Your hands reached my throat, the deep crevices the rope had made there, embedding itself into my tender flesh. You tried to get Your fingers under the rope, but it was no use -" it was too tight. You pulled at the slipknot, but it had become entangled in my hair and would not budge. Pressing Your ear against my chest, You felt my pulse pounding and throbbing at an incredible rate and You knew that I was still alive but on the verge of massive cardiac arrest. Lifting me gently from atop Your sweating chest, You laid me on my side on the floor and kneeled beside me, Your hands pawing at the slipknot in a desperate battle to untangle it. My eyes, though unseeing, were opened now, protruding slightly through purple swollen lids, my entire face puffy and purple, my lips, almost black, around the ball gag. Without thought, You reached behind my head and unclasped the buckle. The ball gag flew from my mouth, my swollen tongue forcing it out as though a bullet from a gun barrel. My tongue, the same frightful color as my lips and nearly twice its normal size, protruded three inches from my lips, saliva continuing to pour from my gaping mouth. You were surprised by the calmness with which You worked at the slipknot and were finally able to release it just as a shudder coursed through my body and I fell still. Removing the rope from the grooves in my throat and tossing it aside, You removed the hogtie equipment, gently rolled me to my back and began resuscitating me. ***************************************************** Thank you for reading my story.
