In Tatters

I knelt at His feet in the utter mess I’d made. My struggle to succeed was stark. No one had ever seen me so disheveled…in such embarrassing circumstances. As He cleaned me up for the second time two minutes, I looked up to meet His steady gaze and tried to gauge his reaction. Disgust at another disastrous, completely unimpressive act of service? Frustrated at my inability to get it together? Sadistically amused at another ridiculous unglamorous predicament I’d once again found myself in? I knew he was taking in every fucking minute detail of the wreck before Him and squirreling it away in the vault of His mind, but what did He feel? His stoic expression offered me no hint. Without comment He stood firm in front of me. Fuckin unwavering. He hadn’t walked away. He hadn’t stepped back. I swear He may have even leaned in. As soon as I’d semi-collected myself, I began my third attempt even as I tried in vain to push the remaining proof of my ineptitude out of view, hoping it would simply

Tell Me "No"

Floggers, crops, whips, rope...heady, sexy, yummy toys of kink.  The showmanship, the Pain, the obvious position of Power and Authority to submission are tangible, bold opportunities to share intimate experiences with one another, especially those in D/s dynamics.  Yet, often a simple, reasonable, deftly placed "No" lands much deeper and last much longer than a night's pretty bruises or vicious lashes.  In fact an occasional denial (preferably accompanied with a why) is essential to a healthy Power Exchange relationship.

A "No" in a sea of "Yes" demonstrates that He listens.

A "No" because He wants that Privilege with me shows He still desires me.

A "No" draws a Boundary that reassures me.

A "No" to keep me safe reminds me how much He values His property.

A "No" to make me uncomfortable allows me to please and amuse His Sadism.

A "No" once again establishes His Control.

A "No" gives me the chance to obey and serve my Owner.

A "No" may piss me off, but my submission to His Will reinforces His Authority in my life.

A "No" is a slight tug on my collar that reminds me I'm Owned and who Leads.

I don't want to be cushioned from being denied something.  I want to relish the moment and fully understand the weight behind it.  Let it leave its mark firmly on my mind and heart.  His "No" is an intimate opportunity to bring us closer and reinforce our Power Exchange like nothing else.
