These snippets of conversation are fairly close to the reality. wild had been chatting now for couple of months and no, we hadn't met yet, but then she needed to feel comfortable, needed to arrange a time, a baby-sitter, be sure that bf was well and truly xboxed in a long running gaming session...and I needed to be free too. Although divorced, you could say that there was baggage, in the nicest possible way. One of my offspring lived with me, though they worked, so organising around that routine was also a further challenge. The conversation of feeling that wild could trust enough, was where we left off in part 6. She's told me that she wants owning and that she made a list of desires, and further more that the post in the morning, could well include a collar and leash, that she wanted to buy. And, at the weekend, she had permission to meet up with her clubbing mates. Menial tasks out of the way, I made a coffee, sat in the garden and enjoyed the peace and quiet of this part of the lake district. Well, nearly lake district! Technically this was Cumbria, just outside the national park; historically Lancashire North of the Sands, until 1974. The mobile pinged. Glancing, the phrase 'picture message' blinked. The massages were easier to read on a tablet and went inside and found it. Within moments I'd logged in to the messaging app. New message; 2 picture messages. I opened them. The girl, who had lacked confidence a few month ago, was kneeling on the floor, and from the angle of the image, was probably holding her phone quite high up and to her side. What I saw in detail, was her slender nakedness, hair draped back over her shoulders; the long black tresses just resting on the point where her buttocks curved gently away from her lower spine. Her head was lifted so that I had full profile view of the deep leather collar encircling her neck; leash dangling from its quick release clip on its front "D" ring. She stared straight ahead. The second image was slightly more contrived. She was still knelt, phone held high from in front of her and as one hand held the phone, the other had hold of the loose end of the leash and was held, as though offering it. Was there ever a sign of saying 'take me, please', as this? My comments praised her for her composure, her pose, the creation of subservience. Yes, if she wished to go further, the postures would be even more submissive. But for now, this was one huge step forward and she admitted feeling incredibly nervous. Her hard thinking was paying dividends. She most definitely was receiving admiration, attention and she was my focus. "Sir, Your property has been reading again and finding things that rung true in its mind, Sir. Sir, this what it found is like the difference between the arse hole of a bf...and You, Sir. Sir, can Your property share this with You, if it pleases You, Sir?" I said that I'd be very happy to read what she'd found, if she felt that she wanted to share it. 'New picture message' blinked again. "The difference between a Dom and a Prick: A Dom understands that submission is a gift. A Prick thinks that submission is a weakness. A Dom understands that Dominance is a gift. A Prick thinks that Dominance is a right. A Dom takes pride in his girl, because he knows she is of value. A Prick takes pride in owning a girl, because he knows he deserves it. A Dom tells his girl how proud he is of her when she does well, because he knows how hard she has worked. A Prick congratulates himself for his training techniques, when his girl does well. A Dom sets clear, achievable, consistent expectations. A Prick sets arbitrary rules and changes them when he sees fit. A Dom gives reasonable punishments, intended to improve his girl, or her behaviour, or their relationship. A Prick gives unreasonable punishment because he enjoys it. A Dom rewards his girl for pushing herself past her previous limits. A Prick tells his girl "That's not good enough, let's move on to the next level." A Dom understands that the balance of D/s is ongoing work, needing constant tending from both sides. A Prick thinks that the work is done once the girl first accepts the collar. A Dom understands that a submissive might be smart, capable, strong, but chooses to give her power, her decisions and worries to her Sir because it allows her to be free. A Prick thinks that a submissive must be stupid and weak and unable to make decisions or think for herself, and he devalues her intelligence and self-will. A Dom understands that his girl's time, possessions, faithfulness and love are hers to give and should be asked for. A Prick assumes that anything his girl has belongs to him, simply because she is his girl, even though it has not been negotiated. A Dom is able to say "I'm sorry." A Prick never thinks that there is anything he needs to be sorry for. A Dom earns respect from those around him because he shows respect to others when it is due. A Prick demands respect from those around him by denying it to anybody else. A Dom earns love by giving it. A Prick demands love by withholding it. A Dom is somebody who makes a Prick mistake, grows from it, and does better next time. A Prick is somebody who thinks that he can never make a mistake, and never needs to grow. " What could I say? What had she been through with this other guy? I asked. "Sir, it's like the 'prick' is a mixture of the bf and that other picture collector, Sir. Sir, Your property really likes the contrast Sir. Sir, this sub asks if it can be excused, if it pleases You Sir. Sir, there's kids stuff to do Sir. Sir mum is downstairs looking after them, while Your property dashed up to do the images for you, Sir. Sir it doesn't want to take the collar off, Sir. Sir it feels so right for it. " I bade her farewell for now, and thanked her again for sharing the incredibly revealing images, and the writing she'd found. She wanted to share all this, with me and I respected her for her openness.
