Boom

The pain rushes in and it forces my arms to lift my body off the ground, my feet tied wide and barely touching the floor.

She wants to hear me growl and I know I’m almost there. It’s not something I can just turn on though, it’s a place she needs to take me to. Playing in public makes it harder and easier to go there. Harder because I know others are watching but easier because I know the neighbors won’t hear. It’s a wash really and it doesn’t matter because I don’t have a choice.

Again and again she hits me and I’m at the point where time stops and all there is is pain My head feels warm and I don’t think this pain will ever stop and I’m not sure if I want it do.

There’s nothing for me to think about when she takes me here, my brain stops thinking of five thousand things at once like it usually does, it stops thinking entirely and I just exist.

For a moment she’s gone and changes implements. It gives me time to catch my breath. I wonder if anyone is watching us and I catch a glimpse of a guy out of my left eye, I turn my head away from him and she continues.

For a brief moment she stops everything to kiss me. It’s such a dramatic change from the passion of the pain to something more physically carnal. Then she goes back to beating me. I can feel a tear welling up. It’s not the pain but the dramatic change between the kiss and the pain and back to a kiss again. I don’t know how to process it and I can feel myself whimper.

I’m close to breaking completely and she stops. She strokes my back and it burns. She lets me down and I fall to the floor on my knees in front of her. She stands and holds my head close to her. I feel the warmth of her legs and I love her so much.

Must See: A Cleansing and Healing Ritual With Eric Pride

I’ve mentioned Eric Pride’s classes and workshops in the past, I really can’t say enough good stuff about the guy or the workshops he runs. Eric was instrumental in helping me get acclimated to the NYC scene and frankly I wouldn’t be in a successful D/s relationship had I not been lucky enough to meet him. So once again I wanted to give you a head’s up on another great workshop with Eric coming up December 9th.

The workshop was first offered as a weekend series throughout October last year in New York City. It was well-attended and received great reviews by Time Out New York (click for article) and workshop participants:
“Within the same week of attending the class with my partner, I noticed many of our issues resolving in a non-confrontational manner…”
“After a very informative class, right at the end Sir Stephen made a final comment that was very insightful for me dealing with my “relationship status”. It was something I had been struggling to find the words for, but his knowledgeable point of view and real life practices made things fall into place.”
“I changed my weekend plans just so I could attend the next lecture!”

Masks

We had planned to go to the event a week or so beforehand, but this time she said there would be a bit of a twist.  She wanted us to wear masks the entire time and not be our usual social selves.  Between the two of us we know a decent number of people at public events so we usually spend a majority of the time socializing rather than playing.

This time was going to be different.  This time she only wanted to play.

We hopped off the subway and when we were about a block away we slipped our masks on.  Both masks covered our faces enough that it would be nearly impossible to tell who we were less you knew our eyes and lips terribly well.

A few people looked, trying to scope us out as we walked through to the back.  One close friend of ours recognized us right away but She put her finger to her lips and with a wink the friend knew that we weren’t there to visit. Maybe they recognized one of the items she was wearing– or as I suspect they might have recognized the glint in her eyes.

We found a spot next to the dance floor. Most events in New York take place in bars that have been temporarily converted to a kinky space.  You’ll see a spanking bench in the middle of a dance floor, a St Andrews cross next to the bar and other varieties of kinky equipment here and there, but, for the most part- it’s still a bar. We were there for only a few minutes when she motioned for me to climb over her knee before proceeding to give me the single longest spanking of my life.

Two relentless hours shifting rhythmically between stinging open palms and brutal paddles.  Most of the time was spent over her knee, but now and then she’d force me to wobbly feet, bracing me against the bench or the wall-whichever position of supplication currently amused her most.

It was never ending.  People milled around us was in awe, murmuring their appreciation while a few people approached to offer her fresh glasses of ice water (maybe they were worried she’d get thirsty and stop– or maybe they were hoping they could be next on the receiving end of her hand). At times it would get so intense that my knees would buckle and I’d fall to the floor.  She’d give me a few minutes to recover but it wouldn’t be long before she’d put me back in whatever position she wanted me in.

By the end I was incoherent, drooling, and raw.  She held me until I was able to stand up and limp out the door.  I checked the time and it had been over two hours since we arrived. Two long hours getting my ass beat. Only a few minutes had been spent doing anything but.

She was a machine and my ass was tender for days afterwards.

The next day a friend emailed me asking me why we didn’t go to the party.   I told her we were too busy.

Maybe we’ll bring out the masks again someday soon.
