A quick disclaimer before I start. I’m in a bit of a philosophical mood. One of those moods where I’m contemplating the meaning of my life and how it is and should be. Consider yourself warned.
So, I realized this afternoon that I am totally out of control. And I love it! You may be sitting at your computer and thinking, “What? She’s out of control? How on earth can that be a good thing?” Let me explain. As all our readers know, Beau and I are in a domestic discipline relationship. This has been quite the week for us. This is my second spanking in a week, and I think that’s a first. Probably most of you have already read the blogs from just a couple of days ago. If you haven’t, they really would be good background for this one.
Just a quick note for those of you who either haven’t read or who have slept since then.
On Tuesday, Beau spanked me for trying to get out of reminders. I might add, I did that successfully. The bratty, playful side of me is almost proud, but the logical, rational part of me, sees how it can become so damaging. I basically, no I did lie to him to get out of them. We’ve talked about it, (In case you haven’t noticed, we do that a lot!) and have come to the conclusion that it was just a communication breakdown. Beau and I pride ourselves on having good communication. And we usually do. I think initially he was afraid that I didn’t trust him enough to just let him know that I just emotionally couldn’t handle it those days. It was all around Christmas time, which is by far the hardest time of year for me. He would have understood, and I know that now. Like I told him, it’s not that I don’t trust him, it’s that sometimes I forget that I can.
Well, at the end of that spanking, and let me tell you, it hurt, I thought everything was just fine. But it wasn’t. I honestly don’t remember if I blogged about this earlier or not. If I have, just listen to me again and humor me. We left my house that night for me to take Beau to school. We were going to grab some dinner first and then head over there. That’s what we did. Well, on the way from the restaurant to the school, I took a wrong turn, didn’t have my GPS and had no clue where to go to get back on track. So instead of just asking Beau whether or not he knew, I went into total bitch mode. Sorry for the language, I try to refrain on here, but there is absolutely no other word for it. And for those of you who don’t know, the reason why Beau may not always know his way around though he’s lived here his entire life is because he doesn’t drive. It just went downhill all the way to the campus. I finally managed to settle down and the rest of the night went okay.
Later that night and the next day, he and I talked about what had happened and tried to figure it out. We finally did. The spanking, though it had hurt, wasn’t enough. It had no lasting effect, physically or psychologically. I always know afterwards if it was enough or not, but it isn’t immediate. It usually isn’t until a few hours later. I don’t know what about it wasn’t enough. Maybe there’s more of a connection between the physical and psychological aspect (for me anyway) than I thought. Whatever it is, I wish there was a way to know if it was enough right then.
There were definitely some different aspects with the spanking this time. The basics were longer, harder, and he had me pull my pants down for part of it. Which honestly, is a big step for us. So he says it was a spanking on my panties. I say it may as well have been bare :P He certainly seemed to favor the non-covered areas. And by that point, I was squirmy and probably more non-covered that covered. I usually go into more detail about the physical aspects of the spanking and what Beau did, but since we changed some things up, and I honestly couldn’t tell you what all he differently, I’m going to leave it to Beau to describe the actual spanking. It just isn’t where my heart is tonight.
The big thing for me, is today’s spanking was just enough. It wasn’t too much or too little. It was exactly what I needed at that moment. I don’t know how he knew that or if it was luck. Maybe he can enlighten us all with his response. I do know that when it was over, even though my bottom was sore and hot and bruised, I felt totally at peace. Still no tears, and I’ve come to a place that I’m okay with that. Just because I don’t cry doesn’t mean the spanking wasn’t effective. I didn’t shed the first tear today, but I know that this spanking was effective. It brought about that closeness I always feel when I’m with him and he’s firmly the one in charge. I don’t have a clue why that is. I suppose it’s like my little niece says when we ask her why she’s so pretty or smart-it’s how God made me. Maybe that’s how I can know it’s enough. I can just ask if I have that peaceful feeling. I don’t know how to let him in on that I need more if I ever do. I’m not asking for it! LOL.Like I said earlier, I don’t know how Beau knew it was time to stop. But I did notice what I think was a tone of relief when he said we were done. Again, something else for you to enlighten us on dear Beau!
So after the spanking, we went out to eat and were driving to a basketball game about an hour and a half away. Umm, Can I say OUCH?! A nearly two-hour car ride was not a good idea. Nor was sitting in a hard chair at the game and riding back home. I couldn’t wait to get out of that car!! When we were getting out of the car, I was joking around and talking about how happy I was that I had survived my first real winter (so far) without busting my tail on the ice. I told him I hoped I hadn’t jinxed it by saying that because if I had fallen on my tail tonight, I probably would have cried because my butt was still sore. He just kind of smirked and asked, “Does it make you think I’m mean or sadistic if I say I’m happy about that?”
All of a sudden, I was as serious as serious could be. I told him no, obviously. And I didn’t say much then, but nothing could be further from the truth. Beau loves me and I love him. He spanks me yes, and it hurts, sometimes worse than others. But in no way does that make me think that he enjoys inflicting pain on me. I honestly think it’s just the opposite. Hopefully he doesn’t mind me sharing, but we both rather enjoy playful little spankings. However, I don’t think either of us enjoy the spankings like the one I got today. I know I don’t. They hurt. And on some level, they’re embarrassing. But I wouldn’t trade the effects of these spankings for anything. When it’s enough, I feel so much more at peace, more in love, more submissive, more secure. In short, my world is right. I know that everything will be okay because Beau is the one in control. Well, other than God, of course. That’s what I mean when I say I’m out of control. In those moments, I know there is no need for me to struggle to maintain control. It isn’t my job.
One final note, then I’ll close. Beau is implementing a “zero tolerance” policy. I’m sorry honey, I know you don’t like that terminology, but try as I might, I can’t come up with anything else. Basically what he means by that, is that no deviation from the rules is going to be allowed. No excuses. I don’t know how long this will go on. I don’t think he intends for it to go forever. Amazingly enough, I’m not worried about how long it will be. I trust him. He knows me and he’ll know when it’s time to back off. I honestly feel good about this. I hate when my mouth and attitude get the best of me like they did the other night. It scares me. It makes me wonder if I’m going to cause the relationship to break down. So in reality, I’m glad he’s taking this approach. This is something we both feel needs to be gotten under control. We’ve been working on it for a while with no real success so we’re moving to the next step in the plan. Stay tuned to see how it all turns out.
So even though I’m bruised and sitting gently, I’m happy. I don’t know why I feel the need to say this and I doubt anyone reading would think this, but the last thing I want anyone to think is that I’m abused. I’m a well-spanked and well-adjusted woman. I’m out of control. Beau is in control. And I love it! I’ve never felt better in my life!
