Exposed

We managed to move back into the house after some work was done. One of the worst weeks we've had the pleaseure to spend in quite sometime. Living cooped up in a one room hotel for a week with nothing to do, noise and an uncomfortable bed made us miserable and missing our home sweet home. So a friend of mine was gracious to come over and help me with our gigantor matress and afterwards over some beers we got to do some catching up. This is one of my oldest and best friends. There's a confidence between him and us since he's one of the few that has know us from before we got together and has witnessed our relationship since then, so Knottygirl dropped a subtle hint as to why she souldn't help muchy with the move, then looking at my, I nodded to her to elaborate and she told him that she had gotten pierced.

He was surprised and couldn't believe it, and at the urging of me, she showed him. He was so surprised and asked why she had doen it, and with a straight face she responded, "Because Master wanted it." He mumbled ok, not quite sure if she was pulling his leg or not. We dropped a few hints that things have changed, but wisely he didn't prod much. He kept shaking his head muttering that he never expected Knottygirl to do something like that. It was so out of place from how he thought of her. This thrilled her as she takes great delight in blowing our friends minds (MINDS people! not other things! Get your thoughts out of the gutter, SHEESH!).

He mentioned that he has discussed with his girlfriend about her getting a belly piercing to no avail. Now armed with this new information he was going to try to talk to her again about it. He said he was gonna tell her about seeing Knottygirls piercings, he said she would get a kick out of it! Hmmmm, I wonder if Knottygirl will be showing her in person?

We also discussed doig Burningman next year. We have another couple that invited us and I figured with this new invite we might have enough people together that we would feel comfrotable going. Up until now, Knottygirl has had ZERO interest in attending. So I was always faced witht he task of attend by myslef if I really wanted to go. Now she's wrangled invites for us. My how things change. She's also interested in learning Belly dancing. I'm all for it! LOL!

Formality?

Knottygirl is recovering fine from her piercings. She is diligently cleaning them morning and evening. Though she still needs heavy painkillers, thanks to the fact that we keep painkillers from other maladies on hand for times like this, I am enthusiastic about her recovery. Personally I thought I would have to stay away from her for a couple of weeks, but the act of getting them pierced for my pleasure and the looks of lust within my eyes as I examine her constantly hard nipples, has made her reconsider! I'm very happy that she did the deed, but more so, I'm happy that she's happy about doing it.

Things have progressed back into the scene for us lately, culminating with the piercing and it leads me to think as to what happens next? Each Master is different, each sub is as well. I've been happy with the progression this year, we've far surpassed where I thought we would be and although we have been busy, that spark in her eyes when I push her and she replies "Yes, Master" reinforces that she hasn't tired of this.

I've read a fabulous story the past week, called "Tired of being a nice guy" that had me absolutely riveted. The characters came alive and a simple story a couple exploring a new lifestyle turned into an epic page-turner(ok screen-scroller!) that left me still thinking about those characters. The question that has crept into my perverted little head of late is slave accepting ceremony. Call it a collaring ceremony, a marking ceremony, whatever, the question bouncing around in my warped mind is do we want one, what does that imply, do we need one, is it too soon? Ok so multiple questions, but a lot tend to bounce around in my head at any given nano-second of time.

The piercing was a momentous moment. Knottygirl waffled between no interest in getting one to wanting one, to no way was he ever getting one, to if Master wants, etc., etc., etc. With the support of friends she went out and got it. She had her reasons, and I'm glad she did it for herself as well as for me, however I do regret a bit that I wasn't there for her when she did it. In the one sense, this was a step for her to really show her friends that our relationship has changed, they are the only ones who know of our blogs and that she has confided in. They supported her and I think she's gained some strength from that.

It got me to thinking whether the two of us need to celebrate a milestone in this relationship dynamic. On the one hand it would cement the relationship, a kind of "no turning back" type of milestone, a commitment to each other to "own" and "be owned". But haven't we already done that with our wedding vows almost ten years ago? And that's what has me thinking. In a few months we will be celebrating our ten year anniversary. That is a milestone.

Now is that something outside of this D/s scene we are enjoying? Would rolling a collaring ceremony cheapen our wedding anniversary? Would it conflict? Or is it a logical progression of our relationship? To me, we are playing. We use the word slave and Master when we remember and when we are turned on. We also use other terms for each other and treat each other like equals. That's ok. I always told her that this would not be something that I would use to get her to do the dishes and scrub the floors.

So am I a true Master? Is Knottygirl a true slave? Again it’s what we make of it. Your definition of Master is different from mine. I find myself questioning if our use of the term is still acceptable between each other.

There are times where I still wait for her to initiate sex. There are times when I want it but don’t initiate it. Then there are times when I do and she might not be into it, but complies, accepting it by saying “Whatever Master wants, or Master can do as he pleases.” Those are times when she is not too into it, but when I check with her to see if she’s ok or into it, she responds like so. In her mind, has she already made that sacrifice? Am I so dense that I’m questioning “ownership” when she has already given it to me? If that’s the case then perhaps I’m not pushing her as much as she wants, or needs?

There is talk, just talk right now of a more permanent mark on her. We have continued the sharpie art for sometime, with her more than willing to take my mark. The piercings has been the most drastic, and I wonder if she will take a tattoo for me…

So I ask again. Has the ceremony been performed and I just haven’t taken things far enough to push her? Or should a discussion of a ceremony be brought up?

PIERCED!

She did it!
Now I can't touch her for a while...she actually threatened me! LOL!

Piercings

Tonight, Knottygirl is getting her nipples pierced. Or so she says! I asked her why she was getting them pierced. Her answer: "Because she wants to." Good answer. Then she added: "Because Master would like it." Another good answer and both in the appropriate order!

She asked if I required anything else, while she was there. Hmmmmm...
At this point no, but after all the temporary markings on her body I have given her, I think Master's Permanent Mark might happen in the future... we'll see if she wimps out on the piercings!

I did request that when she see's me tonight, that she greets me "properly"!

Bondage Bracelet?

Ok I've read a few stories that have this supposed item given to their slaves called somethng like a bondage bracelet. Basically it's two mathing jewellery bracelets with a little built in device that allows the master to take his slaves arms an join the two bracelets together effectively binding the slaves wrists together. The jewellery should be ornamental looking like a bracelet, not like a gothic cuff with hoops and and clips. However I can't find anyplace online that has something like this.


The closest I found was http://www.eternitycollars.com/steelcart.htm
but they don't actually have a locking mechanism... any ideas? Perhaps I'll have to have them custom made...hmmmm maybe a new market here...
