Author's Note: It is with great pleasure that I now present the final chapter in the story of dominique. her story has been told, and I know she will live on in the hearts of many. Keep an eye out, I will be commencing a new story soon.
Hmmm. i was disoriented when i woke up, not sure of where i was in the almost pitch blackness. i lifted my head slightly and tried to survey my surroundings through sleepy squinted eyes. i realised this was O/our bedroom and Andrew was sleeping peacefully beside me. i wondered how long i had been sleeping. i felt a bit stiff from being on my stomach and i rolled over. Not a good idea! i sharply sucked in my breath through clenched teeth and lifted my shoulders off the bed. Memories of last night came flooding back... Andrew, Paul, kate, and being pushed to my limits and beyond for the first time. Rolling back onto my stomach and waiting for the pain from my lashing to subside, i lay awake, thinking all kinds of things.
The first thing i thought was: i never want to get lashed like that again.
Once the foggy haze began to lift from my brain, i was able to focus my thoughts, and began thinking about what last night had taught me...
i will be more considered in the things that i say to people and will gladly do exactly what is expected of me. Why i even want to deny myself some of the pleasures i receive when i am good, i don't know. But certain things *are* expected of me and as my Master's submissive i will gladly do them, and not begrudgingly. i long to see the pleasure in His eyes that my good behaviour gives Him. Because truthfully, it *is* what drives me. And it *is* why i feel guilty when my behaviour is not as He expects.
i will try to curb the excess thinking i do. Like with Paul. Whatever possessed me to think i could capture the hearts of two Dominant males? my god. One is enough for any red-blooded woman. Two is just downright greedy. The pleasures i receive from Paul should be because they please my Master. Not me. The pleasures i get are secondary.
i tucked my arms up under me with my hands under my chin. In the darkness i watched Andrew sleep. Andrew. my Master. my beloved Master. For i do love Him. i love who He is and how He is. i love all the things He has done for me and the things He will do. i love that in me He saw the makings of someone suited to this Life. i love the rules and the clear cut boundaries. i love that when i please Him, i know it. i know because He smiles His beautiful crooked smile, and He tells me how well i have done. i also love that He cares enough to correct me when i displease Him. Nothing festers. Nothing goes on and on. No snide comments. No secrets. my desire to please Him grows by the day, by the hour and by the minute.
There was just one thing bothering me. i yawned and closed my eyes...
Two nights ago it was...
"I don't give a fuck."
It was hard to get comfortable at first... but eventually i fell back to sleep...

"dominique..."
I was whispering to her, her face just inches from Mine.
"dominique..."
she was fretting in her sleep.
"dominique... wake up..."
I touched her face gently.
"i don't give a fuck..."
I raised My eyebrows and smiled.
"huh... oh.... oohhh Sir..."
"It's all right."
"Oh Sir... please... "
"shhh... let Me take a look."
I hoisted Myself up into a sitting position beside her. I picked up the light sheet over her and drew it down, folding it at the top of her ass, exposing her back.
I must say I was a little concerned. The almost olive skin of her back was mottled with marks.
"It's alright pet... nothing that won't heal in a day or so."
"i just feel a bit stiff Sir..."
she would be fine. I remembered what a coach of Mine told Me once, "...it's only pain." I don't think he had ever been lashed though. I smiled wryly at the thought.
I touched My fingertips to the places where her perfect skin was untouched by My hand.
What had I done?
dominique stirred like a cat and stretched.
"Mmmm ...Your fingers feel nice, my Master."
I was looking down at the back of her head, and I reached up to draw her hair back over her ear. I leaned down and kissed the edge of that perfect ear, being careful not to touch her back.
"...dominique?" I whispered once more.
"mmmmm yes Master?"
"you were dreaming..."
"i don't remember Sir..."
"you said something..." I changed My mind, "W/we will talk about it later."
"Yes Sir."
"How about I make U/us some breakfast?"
"i would take on an army of heathens for some bacon and eggs Sir!" I could hear the grin in her voice. she would definitely be all right.
"Then bacon and eggs it is. Do you want Me to cover you?"
"Actually, Sir, the cool air feels good."
"Okay pet, stay there. I'll bring it up when it's ready."
"Thank You Sir."
I stood and walked toward the door, turning as I reached it. I looked back at My dominique, laying quietly, arms tucked under her, black hair aglow under a shaft of the morning sun streaking through the window above the bed.
God, she was so much like rachel...
I sighed softly, turned and walked out, making My way to the kitchen...

i have a tattoo of a scorpion on my ankle. Not very imaginative, considering it is my astrological sign. It was a present i gave myself when i turned eighteen. Something i always wanted. i thought about that tattoo because that is how my back felt. Like i had been tattooed. Forever marked. Forever changed. Sore, and yet pleased. i smiled to myself. i was happy in the strangest way.
