He silenced her mind with sheer determination and the will to see her at her best, the need for her to see herself as he sees her, because she needs to believe that the safety he gives her is not just physical, but mental as well. The vulnerabilities she shows him feeds his soul and shows him that she truly belongs to him, a battle worthy of the warrior deep inside of him. She fights the silence, she fights the peace he has given her, she fights the submission, and he goes to battle again. He knows she wants the peace, she wants the silence, but the storm in her mind gives her a false sense of being, it's the comfort zone she wishes she didn't have. His armor is wearing thin, but he knows she needs him to help her fight this battle again. He sacrifices himself for her silent mind, not because he has to, but because her submission completes him, and her submission is her true self. He needs to show her that her submission is who she truly is, it's embedded in her soul, it's in her DNA. He battles her demons because her submission creates the weapons needed for him to battle his demons, her submission is the light that makes his demons retreat into the dark, her submission makes his demons hibernate. A dynamic is so much more than two people acting out a scene. Its a battlefield of past traumas, overthinking, and insecurities, it is a choreographed war zone that allowes each other's demons to come out and be dealt with through whatever means necessary so both parties within a dynamic can find their peace deep within their soul. So both parties can allow their mind to rest, to thrive within each other, the Dominant craves the comfort of his submissive and his submissive craves a silent mind by fulfilling the role she was born to fulfill. It's a space of passion, of communication, of mutual respect. It fills voids in each other's souls and mends the broken parts of each other. It is the drug that cures all the things that fight to take away the peace within. It is a war zone filled with doubts that are unfounded, trauma that's been unhealed, confusion that add to the storm with each other. Her peace is his peace, her silent mind is his silent mind. It's a battle zone that each person willingly fights for each other, not because they have to, but because it's what they were born to do, what they were born to be.
