When I think back on my experiences as a slave one thing sticks out in my mind. There were, of course, many things that went through my head during those first few years. But it is the fear that brings me back. Absolute, mind numbing fear. The kind of fear one feels when they are faced with a precipice and they know that there is no longer a way back. The only way is down. It is that step that is the hardest thing, that first step. That fear has never left me completely and I doubt it ever will.
I hope it doesn't because it feeds me, it gives me a demon to fight. This fear has been transformed over the years by the tender (and not so tender) ministrations of my Master. It has helped to bring forth an emotion that had always been with me but I had never acknowledged: Desire. At first it was simply the desire to experience sex. But my Master saw it for what it truly was: a desire for debasement, debauchery, and darkness. A desire to become soiled, raunchy, naughty. To become everything that I had been taught not to be: a slave.
Being a slave isn't simply a session of dominance and submission to me. It is a lifestyle. It is something I had always wanted but had pushed away because of societies conditioning. And all the while I had wondered why I was unhappy. Without a Master I felt like something was missing from myself. Finding my Master changed all that.
My Master is everything to me. He is a disciplinarian, a boyfriend, a lover and a confidant. He knows me better than I know myself, and I like it that way. Even when I feel the sting of a whip against my tender flesh I know that he loves me. The soreness that remains reminds me of the lesson and I grow stronger with the knowledge he gives me.
Pain is a wonderful teacher. It comes in many guises and can be fleeting or last for days. Physical pain is like a bolt of lightening against a pitch-dark sky. For a brief moment it sears like fire, then only a burning echo remains to remind you of the flash. Whether it is a spanking, a whipping, or the exquisite pleasure of a butt plug, pain is always present. I grew accustomed to this form of teaching quickly, and I grew to enjoy things I never thought possible. Bondage was like a playground for me, a wonderland of sensations that I had always been taught were anathema. The pull of ropes against my clit, my breasts bound to attention while my ass filled with a plug while a ball gag stretched my mouth. These feelings and more taught me so much about myself, about my desires and my limits. Through these methods my Master taught me that I had no limits. I could do anything as long as it was with him. As I grew bolder and more trusting he taught me how to expand my boundaries and to cross the line of fear that always held me back.
