One-shot 4 An Experiment in Restraints
It was the Friday after New Year's Day, Astrid was lying on the bed naked, save for the leather straps that chis-crossed her body, the kind known to be worn by women whom take the submissive role in BDSM such sexual activities, and the mask that covered her eyes. The mask in question had a zipper allowing another to in a way control what the wearer sees. Around Astrid's wrists and ankles were crufts which were in turn crufted to the bedpost at the foot of the bed. The crufts around her wrists were crufted to the metal railings that made the head of the bed. She also wore a collar with a chain that lead away from her. The room was dimly lite by candle light. The light was not romantic but as if it was a dungeon. The curtains were closed, keeping out the light from outside. The whole set up was done by Astrid and Hiccup. Normally she would engage in more organic and traditional sexual activities, but she knew sometimes men wanted to dominate their partners and recently she and Hiccup have looked into alternative sex-acts, mostly for to see if what their turn-ons were. Hiccup too was more of an organic sex partaker, but he was not going to argue with Astrid. They had agreed that tonight they attempt BDSM. Hiccup was also in the room, he was wearing a leather mask that hid his whole face, like those sometime men that engage in BDSM both as the dominating and the dominated and a wrist band with a chain connected to it and connecting it to the collar around Astrid's. "Have I been a good-girl, master?" Astrid started the role-play with an uncharacteristic submissive plea as she tired to move her arms, remaining in role. Hiccup slowly approached the bed, dossing the candles.
"Yes, you have." Hiccup said in an out character firmness that went with the role. "How should reward you for your faithfulness, precious one? Hum" Hiccup said as he joined Astrid on the bed.
"Master, if I may be so bold... I want to be give birth to your child." Astrid replied timidly, still in her role. She was then kissed.
"You wish to bear my child? Are you sure that is what you want, I could set you free?" Hiccup in role questioned.
"...'gulp', Yes master...all I want is to have your child grow in me, I could not desire anymore." Astrid remained in role, but just then she shivered...I can't do this...but we promised to try... I hope Hiccup didn't noticed... or do I hope he did... these and other conditioning ideas on what the two were trying ran through Astrid's mind. Then she heard a zipper unzip, and then she felt the cuff on her wrists and ankles let go of her wrist and ankles. "Um... Master... 'gulp'... is everything …" Astrid's voice failed her. Then she felt that Hiccup getting her to sit up, while sliding of the straps on her. It was clear to her that Hiccup had decided to end their attempt. Before Hiccup could take the mask of her or the collar on her neck or the band around his wrist, Astrid took her husband's hands. "I am sorry, Hiccup, I know we promised to try this, but I just cannot do it." Astrid said in an uncharacteristic defeated tone.
"Milady, its okay. To be honest, I felt the mask I was wearing was a little stuffy." Hiccup tried to joke the last part.
"I am sorry I am not strong enough to go through with this." Astrid continued, normally it was Hiccup would be the one in self-pity.
"Astrid, it's okay. We both know you are the stronger of the two of us, you don't have to prove it to me every second. It's like Fisher and I, we both know I am the smarter of the two of us, as such I let Fisher have his day." Hiccup said as he was able to free his hands and pull Astrid into his chest. "You know I would never do anything you feel uncomfortable with... wish I could the reverse was true." Hiccup joked the last part. This time Astrid couldn't help but laugh, Hiccup was right she often made him do things he was not comfortable with. "There, now that is my Divine Beauty. Now let's take these off." Hiccup said as he started to remove what was still on the two. But Astrid stopped him.
"Maybe we can try with just the collar & chain and the mask. We did agree to attempt this." Astrid said.
"Fine but on one condition, let me unzip the zipper." Hiccup negotiated "I want to look into the most beautiful eyes." Astrid nodded and Hiccup unzip the zipper, and began his usually ritual of kissing, rubbing and massaging Astrid all over, giving all of Astrid's body the attention he knew was due, so that he can give all of her metaphysical aspects their due after copulation. But before they could re-consummate their marriage Hiccup noticed that Astrid closed her mouth and covered it with her hands in the manner people do when nauseated. "Hold on dear." Hiccup said as he went for a bucket he kept not far from the bed just in case, and help Astrid so that she could throw-up into the bucket, which she proceed to. "Should I get you some ginger ale?" Hiccup asked.
"No..."Astrid answered when she had a break in throwing-up. "Could you get a pregnancy test out of my night stand drawer?" Astrid asked and then had to throw-up again.
"You mean you could be..." Hiccup started as he got the test.
"Every heard of morning-sickness?" Astrid asked, a little too angry. "Sorry, Babe." Astrid said as she took off the mask and undid the collar around her neck, before she had to vomit again. After she was done, she accepted the pregnancy test Hiccup got for her and went into their bathroom, taking the bucket with her so to flush the contents down the toilet. After about ten minutes Astrid said through the door. "Um... Babe... how would you feel about another person in our bed?"
"A little nervous, I don't want to share you and I am not sure how strong I am if tempted." Hiccup answered, not quite understanding the question.
"What about a new Haddock in the fold?" Astrid asked realizing how Hiccup misinterpreted her previous question.
"Wait... a new... you mean..." Hiccup stuttered as he moved to be on the other side of the door from Astrid.
"We are going to have a child." Astrid said Hiccup was silent with awe. "You're a father, Babe." Astrid said trying to get a response form her husband. Hiccup opened the door and embraced Astrid, he was clearly at a loss of words, but not out of concern or fear but out of pure joy. "and clearly you're going to a good one." Astrid said softly to herself as Hiccup brought her back to their bed, so that they could just enjoy the bliss they were both feeling before they had to tell everyone. "I love you, Babe." Astrid said looking only into Hiccup's eyes.
"I love you, Milady." Hiccup said also looking only into Astrid's eyes "And we both love you, little one. We cannot wait to met you." Hiccup said directing what he said to their developing child as he placed his left-hand on Astrid's womb.
"So are what are hoping for as our first child?" Astrid asked.
"I am torn between a 'daddy's little princess' and a son that believes being a mama's boy is to kick asses and take names just like mom. But let's cross that bridge when we get there." Hiccup answered noting the smirk on Astrid's face as he described the son he wanted. "But I will accept my child no matter what. Good night Astrid." Hiccup finished in his usual deepness.
"Goodnight... Cherry-Wolf." Astrid teased sticking her tongue out childishly.
"One of these days..." Hiccup retorted unamused. Astrid only stuck her tongue farther out.
Author's Note: This was just something that popped into my head as I was writing Chapter 8 and Chapter 9 of the main storyline and was the first of the one-shots I stared writing, but it felt like I should finish up Chapter 9, flush out and finish Chapter 10 and tackle the three previously published one-shots first. In all honesty I think that in an actual BDSM situation Astrid would be a dominatrix and Hiccup the more submissive... but I just thought what if Astrid tried the submissive role...
