The Darker Side Of The Moon - Book 4 of the Black Moon series - Chapter 1: Crushed Future

(Tuesday 26 March 2014)

"Gary!!! Seriously..." I beg with an imploring expression, but his scowling only gets worse.

"Kneel, I said!" he barks again and I almost flinch because I know I am not doing this the right way. I mean... I know the rules and I shouldn't be talking back to him. I know there are much easier ways to get what I want! I have been in this lifestyle for almost five years now, and with Gary for long enough to know that things don't work like this with him. Gary is probably one of the strictest Doms at the club and at the same time, once you have gotten to know him and his soft spots, it is so easy to make him yield. "This is the last time I repeat it, Pet. KNEEL! NOW!"

This time, I drop to my knees, part them shoulders width, rest my hands palms down on my thighs and lower my head in submission. I am in for a good spanking, I know that, but I don't really mind. It's not like I don't like to feel his hands slapping my buttocks. I don't have a huge tolerance for pain, especially when I don't want it, but a spanking is alright. And anyway, it's not meant to bring me pleasure.

What worries me a little more is that I may have pissed him enough to reject my request, even after I have been punished and forgiven; that would be annoying. For a long moment, he remains standing in front of me, as silent as a stone and leaving me no other choice than to contemplate his shoes on the old wooden floor of my living room. I know he likes this. He likes to let the tension build with uncomfortable anticipation before a punishment, and I often wonder if he doesn't have sadistic tendencies; not physical ones, but mental ones. But I also know who he learned this from...

"Look up and recite!" he orders firmly after at least ten minutes of utter silence. He doesn't need to say more. I know where I failed and what he is expecting, and thank God, the lecture shouldn't last for very long. I raise my head until our brown eyes meet, imploring chocolate on stern cocoa. Damn! It's a long shot...

"Article three, subsection two. The Submissive agrees to bring honor and respect toward his Dominant at all times. Sulking, defiance and talking back are strictly forbidden. The Submissive is allowed to express his opinions and requests as long as this is performed respectfully," I declaim without hesitation and avoiding nonchalance.

"Did you fulfill this duty, Pet?"

"No, Master, and I sincerely apologize. I know I should have remained calm and respectful, and I'm sorry I messed up. I should have contained my eagerness. I am ready to face the consequences and to take my punishment as I should. I promise to do better next time, Master," I reply with honesty and determination.

"Good boy. Stand up," he then instructs, and once I am in the right position, head lowered, he keeps silent for another moment, adding to the tension. "In position, now."

Once again, he doesn't need to say more than this and I obediently bend over the back of the couch like I am supposed to. Since we are at my place tonight, there is obviously no playroom or accessories, but it doesn't mean the lifestyle rules don't apply and Gary will always find ways to achieve his goals on his dominance. At least, I will slip through the paddle and only endure the palm of his hand this time, although it doesn't mean I am not going to feel it dearly. As a matter of fact, Gary slowly tugs down my boxer briefs to my ankles and pulls on my hips until my butt is fully exposed.

Gary and I form a special couple.

Every couple is special in their own way, but we evolve in the BDSM lifestyle. Gary is a Dominant and I am his Submissive. This means I surrender control to him, in various ways, and he provides me with the necessary guidance to become a better man. For that matter, he has set up rules that I must follow. Should I breech, I get punished. Of course, this is all consensual, we are not in an abusive relationship. The physical punishment is used to drill a lecture into the Sub's head after he has made a mistake and to correct his behavior. I trust Gary to know what is best for me, that's what it is about.
