Lady Davina

Chapter 15

After 'aftercare', Davina retrieved my clothes from her playroom and my boxers from the bathroom. I quickly dressed and she put on a pair lounge pants and a t-shirt before we walked to the kitchen.

She already had the chicken cooked so she was just preparing the rice, asparagus and herbs.

"What are you making?" I asked.

"Chicken risotto with spring vegetables," she replied.

I watched as she cooked the risotto and vegetables, she re-heated the chicken. As she busied herself at the stove I set the table for us.

Once I had the table set and she had plated the food, she got the wine, I had Declin purchased, from the fridge.

"Would you like a glass?" she asked.

"I'm not too fussy on alcohol but I'd like to try a bit."

She got two wine glasses and poured a little bit of wine for me in one glass and handed it to me. I took a sip.

"Do you like it?" she asked.

"Its not bad."

I took a bite of the food she cooked and it was really good.

"This is delicious."

"Thank you."

We ate our food in silence. Normally we have something to talk about. I decided to break the ice.

"I have a personal question to ask you."

"You can ask but it doesn't mean I'll answer it."

I went ahead and asked anyways, "Why are you into BDSM?"

"It makes me feel empowered," was all she said.

"I feel as if there is more to it than that."

"Maybe..."

I decided to try a different approach.

"I'll tell you something about me if I get a little information from you."

"I'll think about it."

I took a sip of wine before I made a confession.

"I dated someone for year when I was 15...at least I thought we were dating. We hung out a lot, we kissed, we cuddled, we talked a lot about what we wanted in life, etc. We pretty much did everything together, except for sex, she wanted to wait. I finally told her how I felt and her response to that was she only liked me as a friend. After that I pretty much shut down when it came to females. And you pretty much know the rest due to how I treated three of NY-Buzz employees."

Davina did something surprising, she reached out and held my hand.

"Since you have just bared your heart then I guess its only fair I tell you something. BDSM does make me feel empowered but the real reason I am involved in it is because I was a victim of abuse. I was in an abusive relationship. I ended things when he beat me so severely that he practically left me for dead in the house we shared. I didn't want a man to have that control over me like he had done. Being subjected to those beatings I lost my voice. Whipping men when they are my submissives is a way I can take back everything that I lost in that relationship. I know that might not make any sense to you but it does to me."

She flinched as I quickly pulled away from her hand. She must have thought she scared me away, but she didn't. I got up from my chair and walked over to her, pulled her up and hugged her tightly.

"He had no right to lay a hand on you. Please tell me your pressed charges and he is in jail?"

"I did and yes," she said quietly.

I held her for a while before she pulled away, but I pulled her right back into my arms. I kissed her forehead before finally letting her go.

"I have one more thing to confess," she said.

"What's that?"

"Davina Jordan isn't my real name."

"What is it?"

"Davina is my middle name, Jordan is my mother's maiden name before she married my father. My real name is Naomi Brooks."

"I'm guessing there is a reason why you changed your name?"

"Yes, after the guilty verdict when he was being hauled away he vowed if he ever got out of prison he would find me and kill me. Before you say anything, he took my dignity away from me I wasn't going to let him take anything else from me if I went into witness protection program. I thought it was better if I changed my name altogether."

"Does he know what your full name was?"

"No he does not know that Davina was my middle name nor dose he know of my mother's maiden name."

We finished eating and after we were cleaning up we watched a bit of TV. She asked if I was interested in staying over and I surprised myself when my response was an instant "Yes."

She shut off the TV and took my hand and led me to her bedroom where we undressed to get ready for bed.

I laid on my back while Davina was laying on her side. After a while I placed my arm around her waist and said, "You were brave for pressing charges and leaving him. You are so beautiful and didn't deserve to be treated the way he treated you. Any man would be lucky to have you, I know I'm lucky even though I'm just a submissive."

She turned around to faced me and gave me a quick kiss on my lips.

"Thank you for saying that."

"I meant every word."

She snuggled in closer to me and we fell asleep as I kept her close to my side.

Do you think this is a turning point for Davina and Cooper?
