I have a long-standing fantasy about having a Dom who would manage my behavior so that I do all the things I "should" do for my own good. It used to be exercise and self-care things he would manage, now that I'm more or less where I need to be on that, I'm looking at … Continue reading For the Record, Y’all

Not Too Hot, Not Too Cold…
Tea with Ms. Constance was always a treat, and Delilah thought that today was no exception.

But they didn't have hours today, just a short visit over tea, a good opportunity to get her … Continue reading Not Too Hot, Not Too Cold…
To Please
"To please:" I wrote, very carefully, in my notebook. "to make someone feel happy or satisfied, or to give someone pleasure. I please by being obedient." I sighed. That was the third time I'd written it, and I still had 17 more times to go. In between each repetition, I paused to think about what … Continue reading To Please

Ever since I decided to quit marketing my business and lean into semi-retirement, I've had new business drop into my lap pretty steadily. My plan was to work for the … Continue reading Unbalanced
The Softening
"I don't believe you," he said. He said it gently. It wasn't a challenge, just an observation. I almost smiled, but, "No, it's true," I said. "I'm just not feeling it anymore, I don't think I even am submissive anymore." He nodded, so I knew he was listening. Then thought for a minute, while I … Continue reading The Softening
