Reposting as promised, This blog tale comes By request from one who read and enjoyed the Christmas Tale, now comes my first attempt at a Thanksgiving tale .. and I have high hopes this will also become my future now... hope you all enjoy it (slightly edited) ....
As she awoke that late November morning, she gently rolled over to silence the alarm clock, and his scent was still there on his side of the bed, his pillow still warm from where he had laid with her through the night. She reflected back on this first year together with her Dom. She recalled how before him, she had felt her life was so together, so complete, she had accomplished so much. What she knew now, that had escaped her then, was how finding each other would so radically change her heart, and life.
So on this first Thanksgiving Eve together, she had come to a life altering decision.. she was going to take a chance on something her heart had locked away forever, but forever held no meaning to her now. As he walked toward the front door, he was taken aback... for she was knelt by the door, but not in her normal Nadu position to bid him “hurry home”, as they had vowed to never say “goodbye”, unless it was to be final. As he approached however, her hands slowly raised together, presenting an envelope to him. On the outside was simply written “Sir, please go to work, and open only in private, and alone”. She was trembling as the tears found their way out of her red swollen eyes and ran down her cheeks when he grasped the envelope.
His mind was racing with a thousand possibilities of what could be inside. Could this be the end? Am I to lose her? Is there something so terribly wrong it cannot be repaired? Has her heart led her to another? Has she taken ill? Try as he might, the morning commute was totally overshadowed by that envelope, and what it may contain, sealed now by her tears. Never in his life had so few minutes taken so many years to pass by. By the time he got to his office, he was trembling in fear, his mind racing through the possibilities. As he literally ran into his his office, he left instructions not to be interrupted for any reason. He closed and locked the door behind him, and stared blankly at the envelope for a few moments before finally finding the courage to open it, it read ….
To Sir,
This world that I walked in, I wandered alone,
and had long since surrendered, A Dom called my own.
So I took all my love, and deep darkest fears,
And will to submit, all buried for years.
I had searched from my True Dom, for far way too long,
and was forced to consider, my life all alone.
For despite all my efforts, my search was in vain,
And I just could not face it, so hollow, such pain.
I feared that a True Dom, so seldom and rare
At least one I wanted, for whom I could care,
To walk thru this life with, and give my heart to,
would never be found, until there was you.
You offered your friendship, not making demands,
you took time to know me, at times held my hand.
Our lives slowly banded, our hearts and our souls,
And never you've faltered, My Sir.... in control.
So today I give thanks, to God and to you,
For finding my dreams, and making them true.
I’ve just one request, as this note I requit,
To you heart and soul now, I eternally submit.
He was unaware at the time. But those tears, the ones that fell from her eyes as he left that morning, he had taken with him, and they now found their way down his cheek. He checked his schedule for the day, and it was booked solid. Then, in the notes he saw “set her hairdresser appt 11:00. He told his secretary to clear the days schedule, and after that, to take this Thanksgiving eve off as well, with pay, and close the office for him, as he could not be delayed.
As she opened the door, hands overrun with groceries for their Thanksgiving dinner, she gasped in disbelief at the sight before her. The groceries fell to the ground, unnoticed by either of them. There, in the entryway, was her Dom, in the middle of the work day, kneeling before her on a single knee, head deeply bowed, and arms outstretched, presenting an envelope, taped to a slender golden package. On the outside of the envelope was written “My reply, please open immediately” It read:..
My love,
I too wandered this life, and did so alone,
And likewise surrendered, a sub of my own.
I’d spoke with so many, but none quite a fit,
I felt so defeated, and ready to quit.
I felt that my true sub, gentle and fair,
would forever evade me, then I found you there.
You were unlike all others, and so out of my reach,
your beauty abounded, had taken my speech.
First let me thank you, for becoming my friend,
I’m eternally grateful, for the time that you’d spend,
just talking and laughing, and letting me know,
that my heart had a small chance, that love just might grow.
From your first touch upon me, so soft and so sweet,
I was instantly taken, for you my heart beats.
And all that I am, or may still yet become,
I owe to you only, you are now my "one".
And so now time finds us, together at last,
Our hearts beat as one now, our fears in the past.
And when I was certain, I could ask for no more,
this gift that you offer, brings me to the floor.
Never in my life, in my wildest dreams,
could I ever imagine, a gift so extreme.
I humbly accept now, this offer you make,
This collar I offer, if you would but take….
Nobody knows for sure what happened after that, but what is known is that the groceries remained on the doorstep for the entire Thanksgiving weekend, and when she left to go shopping Monday morning, she wore a golden necklace that she would never again be seen without, but yet when they were seen together, the light shining from inside them both made it very difficult to see.
And.. if you ever asked either "What are you thankful for this Holiday Season?", you could almost make out an aura of extreme power surrounding them both as their eyes were instinctively drawn to each other, yet no answer would ever be given, why would it need to be ....
