I spent the drive home crying. Not because I was upset or because I was so happy, just because I was having so many powerful feelings at once. The trigger was when I reached the end of his driveway and saw a text saying, "I miss you already."
Most of the day I was in submission, if you have never experienced that, picture being a happy drunk at 4AM. That's not a good analogy, it's just the best I can do to describe something that combines cognitive impairment, joy and total relaxation. Sir checked on me every hour or so, some people have a rocky time transitioning back. I began coming out of it late in the afternoon and started looking back on the weekend or more accurately back on him. I don't consider myself a beauty but every woman who has a decent figure and a face that doesn't scare children learns early in life to be suspicious of men. My first thought was that I wanted to drive to his house and beg him to ravish me, my second thought was that I was in love with him, my third was that he was way too good to be true. Dominant men worth their salt are invariably alpha males and like most women I think that most alpha males should be on beta blockers. They are brash and rude and arrogant all of which can be attractive in smaller measures than the ever seem to have. Above all they are notorious for their infidelity and having been through that twice I am not going to let it happen a third time.
It came down to the question do I believe him or maybe do I believe in him. He was totally in control every moment we were together and had been even when we were just emailing. But, he never raised his voice, he never denigrated me even when he was inside my ass and he seemed unbelievably understanding. I'm sure I have met a man who was genuinely understanding before but it would take me a long time to remember when. Suddenly I remembered how gentle he was. That was so weird, he did things to my body that probably qualify as felonies but his words and his manner were so gentle. I went down a rabbit hole of memories and loving thoughts and almost texted him for permission to give myself an orgasm but after the weekend I might need an epidural before I could play with myself. That sent me down another rabbit hole, I know Sir ordered me not to be embarrassed but I had ridden him like a pony on PCP, not my most ladylike performance, worse yet not at all submissive. The not submissive part I could make myself okay with, there was no doubt in my mind that he could have brought me back under control in a second. The pony part was harder to cope with but it also opened up a new train of thought. Most of the men I have been with, not that many in spite of my behavior over the weekend, would have run away screaming if I had acted like that. Probably calling me a nympho and a psycho as the door closed. Sir never considered his masculinity or his dominance challenged and basically just sat back and enjoyed the show.
"Enjoyed the show" opened another can of worms. Any woman will tell you that a man only really looks at you twice, once to make sure that you are f...able and don't have any flaws big enough for their friends to tease about and again when they are deciding if it's time to move on. In between they only really look at your breasts and ass and usually even those only when they are warming up for sex. Sir really looked at me over and over again and even stranger I felt like he really saw me. If you don't understand what that means and what it means to a woman ask one, you will probably be surprised at what you hear. I began crying again. It had hit me like a thunderbolt, a man can fake laughing at your jokes, fake loving you and your kids and your cat, fake finding you beautiful or smart or sexy. They can't fake dozens of lust-filled and love filled stares, some of which came with easily detectable physical reactions. Easily detectable, God how I wanted him inside me again!
I gave it fifteen minutes so that my subconscious had time to point out anything my rational mind was missing. When it was over I texted, "Please tell me some way that I can show you how much I am your slave Sir." I was expecting a request for a naked photo (oh yes, I would have) or an order to masturbate while sitting in the closet or something like that. His reply came so fast that I knew he hadn't thought out some devious strategy.
I read it over and over then I read it over and over then I cried, "Write me a love letter. What's in your heart, not what you think I would like to hear." My roommate has been my friend for years and she knew that I had needed to be left alone with my thoughts up until now.
"Okay, that's at least the third time you have cried today. Go fix your face then we are going to Henry's." Henry's is a neighborhood dive bar where we go sometimes to either celebrate or cheer up. I wondered what to tell Sir until I remembered that I wasn't allowed to lie.
"Sir, your text filled my heart with so much love that it came out as tears. Now my roommate is insisting that we go out for a while. May I write you later?"
"I am glad you live with someone who loves you Love. Enjoy and write to me when time permits. No flirting while you are out though."
The tears came again so it took a while to fix my makeup then we went out and played darts and a retro Ms. Packman game. My roommate knows me well and kept me from thinking about Sir which also kept me from crying the whole time. I got home at 11 which is 30 minutes past my bedtime. When I had my makeup off and my jammies on I sent Sir one last text, "I love you so much that I want you to possess me and do anything to me that brings you pleasure. Long version to follow."
I got back, "I love you so much that I signed up to look after you for the rest of my life. Sleep well and make your first thought of the day, "I am loved."" He didn't say use, or fuck, or own, look after! My eyes were wet again as I went to sleep.
The next day I woke up thinking about Sir but once I was out the door I didn't think about him for more than an occasional moment all morning. I have an intense job with little room for distractions. I broke for lunch at noon and texted Sir, "I want you inside me."
I got back, "Are you busy at 12:02?"
I was past the crying part of being in love but I couldn't help swooning over his since of humor. Having met a few Doms before I would have been impressed that he even had one but the fact that his was actually good and usually modest or self-deprecating was so sexy I could hardly stand it. We traded a few more texts then I ate my salad and went back to work. I have dieted a few times before, probably about 40% of my life, and I have always resented it. Today I was doing it to be more pleasing to Sir and truth be told, to induce him into more sex, and it felt wonderful.
For the next few days we fell into a pattern, a good morning text, a lunch text, a long phone call in the evening and a short call at bedtime. I had begged Sir to believe that I wanted him with every fiber of my being but to let me wait until Friday to serve him again since I didn't think I could work effectively the next day. Thursday at lunch he texted, "Is this close enough to the weekend to fake it?"
My first reply was, "I would like to Sir but..." My second text was, "Fuck it, I'll be there at 7"
