Time passes, as time does we text about this and that inconsequential things life and other chit chat
Then I confess I miss you you say you miss me too your virtual return is immanent can we pick up once more from where you left? you ask me to please, please say yes how can I refuse? that's not something I can do not when the one who asks is you
Yet something in me has changed my inner subby needs to emerge the one who made that clear stands in the wings, cajoling and when your return is delayed, I succumb
Then, when you arrive it's no contest I'm yours, there's no doubt you offer me your Dominance too that's something you feel you can do it'll suit you better than subbing I have doubts this is the best path for you at least, until you've learned to let go but I can't be the hand to guide you at least not now, not at this point of my own journey
And though I know you can't really be mine still my need for you outweighs all these things only with you can my heart have wings and I accept on these terms I'd accept on any terms at all because life without you is unthinkable
We build castles that are too large or too small we build pubs and houses that aren't castles at all then you find one the right size with rooms to explore I furnish it when you're not there hang art on the walls and more
Though I call you 'Mistress' we carry on as before until the day when suddenly that word means more
Out of the blue my kiss is refused no explanation, no warning the rules have changed I'm hurt and confused the pain goes deep and I'm rebuked I blink back the tears and slowly adjust this isn't unwelcome, just too sudden but we get through then both surrender to lust
That night the emotions flood as do the tears something beyond sub drop seizes me there's the fear that from now on the protocol will rule that spontaneity is gone that the ease of communication is broken that too much will now remain unspoken the initial hurt of your rejection of my kiss returns deep down inside it burns
I have to explain that a gradual path would have caused less pain that negotiation and consent are needed at each step but you hear criticism and ingratitude that I'm rejecting your gift when what I wanted all along was to build something that was ours not to have another's form of control adopted and replicated by you that it was always about loving you for you not so much about needing you to be a particular way but you're not hearing and you say we won't try that again it turns out to have been the last time we made even virtual love
Once again the gaps grow the distances expand your appearances are further apart I feel the need to say something to tell you I feel I'm expected to give out more and more while getting less and less in return that something needs to change
But when I see you next you steal those very words from my mouth and turn them against your other half who constantly asks more from you but offers less to meet your needs (those same needs I'd give anything, have already given so much, to meet)
But I bite my tongue reflect on the irony and offer you more offer you sympathy try to make it better because I love you
After that, things move faster her body clock is ticking down she needs to feel new life grow within but this is a step beyond for you not a thing you're ready for you move out yet it's several days before you tell me this
I'm hurt again that you didn't immediately turn to me yet this is the seed of realisation that we won't ever be though the seed doesn't yet take root for a while yet, hope remains
Then you say you're broken you stand at the crossroads say you know which way to turn say you know your relationship isn't right and must end
I weep for your pain yet am filled with hope that soon it'll be resolved that at last I'll hold you and call you mine
Later I learn that even as you tell me this you tell another that you know you must return yet are tempted by the attention of another I wonder if this temptress is chocolate valentine Argus woman or yet another so far unmentioned
When next we talk you have returned to her yet have made your position clear by staying out all night and my heart sinks it matters not who or what entertained or sustained you through that night but that once again you hadn't turned to me
I try to make these feelings known we argue and neither of us can do this any more...
This is the third part of my 'After Midnight Suite.
