I could do my usual fussing about Valentine's Day. It's not my favorite holiday. It's a Hallmark holiday - one of many - that pressures us to spend money and makes us feel bad if we don't have a romantic other or don't get the right recognition of the day. But this year - with Sir X … Continue reading Celebrating in Real Life

Prelude Part 5
Amelia felt overwhelmed. Too many people, too much going on. She had begun to feel safe with Josh, but all these people stopping to talk to him, and the undercurrents of conversation that she didn't understand, it all made her anxious. She was trying to smile but her lips felt cold and stiff. If only Sara had been here, … Continue reading Prelude Part 5
Prelude Part 4
The dungeon was in the downtown area, but not the nicest part of town. It had once been a warehouse, converted to offices. The kink community, financed substantially by a few wealthier members, had bought the building and redesigned it. It was considered the premiere dungeon in the region and kinksters came from all over for the events … Continue reading Prelude Part 4
Catching Up
No, this is not the next installment of Amelia's story, but she'll be back. I need to share a bit about what's happening in my real life. Sir X has always been one to research things, often just for the fun of it. Now that he's turned his attention to being my Dom, it is a whole … Continue reading Catching Up
Prelude Part 3 (Formerly And the Beat Goes On…)
Amelia was lost in thought for a moment, just trying to process what was happening. She had done all kinds of reading about BDSM; factual books like The Ethical Slut and novels like Masters of the Castle. But it had all seemed like fantasy. Now she was experiencing a little taste of it. Thrilling and terrifying, she thought. Ok, … Continue reading Prelude Part 3 (Formerly And the Beat Goes On…)
Prelude (Formerly The Beat Goes On, Part 2)
Amelia watched the exuberant young woman hugging Josh from the back, but glanced away when he pushed his chair back and pulled her around and into his lap. The other woman squealed, and Amelia smiled, a bit ruefully. Of course he would be with someone who was young and sexy. Fifty-two years old, Amelia thought, what am … Continue reading Prelude (Formerly The Beat Goes On, Part 2)
And the Beat Goes On…
"No," she said. He looked at her curiously. "No? I didn't ask you anything." She laughed, "But you were about to ask me if you could sit here, weren't you?" The coffee shop was crowded, there weren't any other tables left, and he definitely had the look of someone searching for a seat. "Oh, you're waiting for someone," … Continue reading And the Beat Goes On…
In My Heart
You know, when I am at a loss for words of my own, I turn to quotes. Today, this came up for me: MARY OLIVERto live in this world you must be able to do three things to love what is mortal; to hold it against your bones knowing your own life depends on it; and, when the time comes to let it … Continue reading In My Heart
From My Heart
I can't tell youall how deeply I appreciate your sympathy and support yesterday. So much gratitude for all of you. I am doing ok. Processing in my own way and at my own speed. At the same time, Sir X is zooming full speed ahead to step up into the open Dom space. Which is good, I think. Even … Continue reading From My Heart
