He picked it up and opened it on one of the beds. I saw the familiar tools of the trade. I noticed he took pride in his work through the meticulous arrangement of the various items. A variety of leather and steel collars were stacked in a corner. A set of masks were nestled in another corner. He had crops and canes for hitting. He kept a number of clamps in different sizes. I saw bindings made of various materials. I saw hemp, leather, and silk ropes. Many of the items were in their original, unopened packaging for hygienic reasons. Curiously enough, there was particularly long and beautiful cloth of silk. I had never been bound by silk before. I was fascinated about what he planned for me.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Ms. Schulz, I take safety very seriously,” Adam said, his tone becoming authoritative. I enjoyed relinquishing control to him. He began taking certain implements out of the briefcase. “I’m a pretty big guy. I could really hurt you if I wasn’t careful. I want you to tell me to stop or slow down if I go too far.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“I’m well aware of my limits,” I replied, my anticipation seeping into the words. “In lieu of a safe word, we’ll use the traffic light system.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Violette Springs","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47081708650736,"sku":"2940044645301","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940044645301_p0.jpg?v=1763963627","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940044645301","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
