There they were, finally. The things we had been waiting for and talking about for exactly 1 year. New Year's Eve, followed by New Year's Day. Lots of parties, noises, and celebrations, and for most people, a reminder of what happened since the last time the calendar struck one particular midnight.
All of it was fun, but for I and my filthy slut ButterfliesAndCuffs it was an extra special occasion: that night, the traditional 10-second countdown leading to the dropping down of the big round bouncy thingy (more on in a moment) was even more significant because January 1st was not only New Year's Day - it was also the anniversary of the day we said the words; we made the commitment. The day we decided that we were ready for a full dynamic together.
We didn't spend this NYE as we did a year ago, at our homes in front of our webcams talking and playing. This time we spanked in the New Year at our dungeon with several new friends we've made there. She was the most beautiful thing in the entire building, she always is, in every room we're ever in. I had her bent over a spanking bench with her ass and pussy exposed for all to see as I smacked her in time with the music, and of course, harder and harder for every second of the final countdown to zero hour, which I made her shout out "10 - 9 - 8 - 7..."
Now, the dropping bouncy thingy part of the story: one of the guys at the dungeon (a very enthusiastic, suitably round, NYE Ball shaped fellow) was covered in glitter, tied up, and hoisted above the stage. The Times Square celebration was broadcast on a large flat screen on the wall, and when the clock showed 00:00:00 he was slowly lowered to the stage to the cheers of everyone in attendance.
So we spent the eve of our anniversary, at our club with our weirdo friends. The actual day, in fact most of the weekend, was just the two of us at home alone, much of it in bed as you might expect, except for a couple of delicious meals my perfect sub cooked for us. We talked about some of the amazing milestones we passed along the way: Our first sight of each other. Our first embrace at the airport. Our first night together. How 6 months ago I packed up and moved so we could be even closer. Our first actual "date" (a movie in a movie theater.) The first gifts we ever gave each other as D and s. Me meeting her closest friends. Her meeting my closest family member. Me finally getting to play a few original piano pieces for her. Learning from her, and then joining in her passion - raising and releasing butterflies. Introducing each other to new music and movies.
Many, many other major events in our lives together, most importantly, meeting her daughter. I desperately wanted to make a good impression on her - and we hit it off immediately! Geez, imagine a big tough guy like me being afraid of a sweet little doll like her. Plus she thinks that we are "weird, in a good way" so what better endorsement?
We're not close to being done. We are still goofy and crazy and loving and unpredictable. We have made plans, set dates, even bought tickets for a couple things later this year. Friends and relatives are already planning visits in a couple months. A (platonic) double-date type of thing to D.C. with a couple we are friends with from our dungeon. And a wild Vegas trip we keep talking about taking with a good friend and her Dom.
And speaking of friends there are 2 that we could not end our first year together without mentioning because they have been our biggest supporters, and because they seemingly knew that my dearest sub and I would end up together even before we did. 2 friends who we still talk to weekly, sometimes daily. To SSR - forever thank you for all the ridiculously long, insanely nonsensical, hysterical phone calls, even though I usually barely get a word in the entire time. And endless thank yous to Banféinní for all the... everything. And for having us over. We can't imagine any part of the last year, or the next, without you both.
New Year's weekend was wonderful. My treasured slut ButterfliesAndCuffs is irreplaceable. I wouldn't trade or change last year for anything, and the next is going to be even better.
