Preparing for the fture


Tuesday, 25th April

I went shopping today, mainly to try to take my mind off things. I thought I could do with some new shirts etc for work. I had a call from Mr Allender, the contract for the tenant has been returned signed and the deposit should be with us by the end of the week. I should have felt happy, but I guess this makes it real. The flat is let long term. Although we have a few clauses in the contract which are unusual which give me access and possession quite quickly. I did some gardening and found myself sitting with a tea for some time, brooding. I went into town for some dinner. I was looking forward to going to meditation and seeing Ben. I had done a lot of thinking, but not come to any conclusion. I think it I just have to work on myself every day.

Usually Ben and I have some time together before the meeting starts, this time I could not find him. I asked a few people, they did not know. Just before the start the group leader, B, told me he had a talk with Ben in the afternoon. Ben had gone to have a rest after the meal. He came in later, and in the break disappeared to help make the tea, which he often does. I chatted to some other people, one member cornered me to get a medical opinion. Ben did not come back for the 2nd part. Was he avoiding me? Was he not well? I could not settle. But I decided I had to give him space. He was waiting for me when we finished. He smiled at me and looked well enough. He took my hand and asked after my day. We chatted a bit. I did not want to bring tonight up. I did not want to put pressure onto him.

He mentioned it when we were at home. We usually enjoy another drink together. He told me he had requested a meeting with B in the afternoon. B is a trained counsellor. He had not tried to avoid me, he was just overwhelmed and had taken some time out in another room. School had been tough, it is only 2 months now until their final exam. For most of his classmates it is vital to pass with a good mark.

Normal?


Monday, 24th April

Ben told me he came to the flat yesterday, he thought it would help him to be here and think. He just felt it was cold, lonely and it reminded him of happy times and made him think and worry. He wanted to switch off, so went to the cinema. He saw an animated film. He reckons he got funny looks by some parents. A single man coming to the cinema on a sunday afternoon to watch a movie for kids is either a pervert or a lonely weirdo. He managed to switch off, he had to concentrate to understand Swedish. He talked so much English with Ruth, he needs to get back into Swedish.



I am at the flat, as I want to contemplate our talk – no, fight – yesterday. It is not working. Am I too possessive? Overprotective? Ben mentioned I never talk about old relationships. I might track down my 2 ex-partners and ask them why we did not work out. Ah, I am analysing everything again. I should concentrate on here and now. Ok.

I have decided I want to try to sell the furniture in here, most of it is just about a year old. I could do with a bit of income. So I have made myself useful and have taken pictures of the items and posted them on a website for private sales.

I have also taken pictures of every bondage gear item. My memory on the phone was full and I have downloaded it onto my computer and deleted the photos from the phone. I have contacted our prospective tenant. He said he was interested in some items. I have not heard from him since the viewing. We have sent him the tenancy contract. I would like to get this sorted. I have enough coming up, with going back to work and starting lecturing. It would be nice to have the flat sorted.

Ben and I are trying to be normal, but there is an atmosphere. I think it is me, I am not sure how to behave.

Events overtake us


Sunday, 23rd April

Ben is cleaning the guest room at the moment. I am in the office, catching up.

Ruth called, she has arrived safely at home.

Yesterday turned into quite a session for Ben and me, I made sure we established a Master/slave routine again. During Ruth's visit of course we were a bit slack. I unconsciously touched and kissed Ben more than we usually do. Did I have to prove to Ruth we are a loving couple? I definitely do not have to prove it to Ben, I know he almost prefers not showing our love like that.



I slowly re-introduced Ben to come out of his head space yesterday by lifting the blanket in sections.

I released him from the restraints, the collar, gag and earplugs slowly, over about 10 minutes.

I had changed into my boots and just wore a harness and gloves. Ben likes it when I wear gloves. They are a snug fit and quite thin, so I can do restraints up easily. I can also almost feel his skin and his goosebumps through the fabric. I was aroused; being nude and with an erection was making it even more exciting. I told him to meet me in the playroom when he was ready. I heard him go to the bathroom and then he shuffled into the room. I was on the chair, stroking my hard penis.

He knew instinctively what I wanted. He licked my inner thighs and kissed them, his hands on his back. I had put the knee pads on the floor and he was kneeling on them. He took my balls into his mouth and caressed them. He moved down the perineum and started to rim me. I had cleaned myself out earlier. He looked at me to get approval, I nodded to him to proceed. He took his time, edging me several times. MMMMHH!

After I came he was still caressing me and it was sooo nice. I pulled him up and he climbed on top of me, we kissed and stroked each other for a while. He was getting aroused. I thought about letting him fuck himself, but decided against it. I ordered him to get into position, he was able to choose some restraints. I secured him to the fucking bench. I used my fingers first, his vagina was very wet. He would have enjoyed being fucked there, but I wanted his anus. Finally I was ready and entered him, having lubricated him with his own secretions. I took my time. I wanted him to orgasm, and he needs some time. I know if I had chosen his vagina, he would have come earlier, and it would have not been as nice for me.

I needed the bathroom, and stopped to get a drink. I half released Ben and gave him a drink. After being strapped to the bench and being in the cage, he needed to stretch. He was sweaty, and looked quite tired. We got changed into clothes and I ordered him to rest on the sofa while I prepared dinner. He had a look through the paper, but I knew his ability to concentrate on reading it had gone. He was not very hungry and we sat over dinner for quite some time while he slowly ate. It is my rule that he has to finish what I put on his plate. He cleared up after dinner. I found us a programme to watch on tv and we quite enjoyed it. By 9pm he was struggling to stay awake. I know, 9pm! I suggested we go to my bed and we cuddle up. He fell asleep quite quickly. I felt like a parent watching the child sleep. I found a film to watch and came to bed late. Ben woke up and I decided to be Master and sent him to his bed. I was actually quite tired too and looked forward to stretching out.

This morning we had our usual routine. Ben had waited for me and we had a shower together. We had a nice, long breakfast with home made pastries. It was sunny, with rain forecast for later, so I decided to mow the lawn. A couple of our leylandi have not survived the winter. They are on the side where we will have our new neighbours, quite far down towards the lake. My gardener is coming next week anyway to cut them, so I will ask his advice what to do with the gap.

Our neighbours have dropped us a plan with a blueprint for the building, with “artists drawing” and everything. Very considerate. It is going to be huge glass box. Should be interesting.



I have had a comment about the frame I described that we used on the bed. The reader reckons on an unstable surface like a mattress it is not very comfortable, for the slave and the dominant. Well, of course Arne considered this when he had this piece of equipment made! I do not think he bought anything off the peg. In his day he did not have the internet and everything was a bit more complicated. One had to subscribe to magazines which came in brown envelopes with the mail, or knew people. That is why he started the club. There was nothing like it before. And there is nothing like it since, not here in Stockholm. Good for us, I guess. It means we get enough business.

I had the numbers from Martin from the Easter weekend. Kristoffer said they had a few people come down during the day and were disappointed to find the place closed, they would have used the outside. But we were not set up for it. Most people – I guess – would have expected hot drinks and maybe cakes. We do not cater for that. To be honest, in the summer we could probably attract the families, but we would strictly have to keep them outside. That means toilet facilities and everything. Definitely not this year. Maybe not ever. Yes, we still do our family day, but that is for members.



It is much later in the evening. Earlier today the slave came to see me with a cup of tea and requested he needed to tell me something. I was kind of expecting a revelation about something. All the talks with Ruth must have brought up some memories or plans. It turned into a long situation. I am still trying to figure out how it all happened and how we go forward from this. I think it is too fresh to write about it, although it might help me to get my thoughts in order. Here goes:

The slave confessed to me that back in December when he first came he had remembered in a dream why he reacts so strongly to puppies and rubber. He had decided then not to tell me the reason and now wanted to tell me this. He felt guilty for keeping a secret from me. When I asked him what the reason/dream was, he was quiet for a while and then rushed to the bathroom, where he was sick. I left him to it. He was rinsing his mouth when I came in. I enquired what had made him sick, he said he does not know, he thinks it has something to do with the memory. He wanted some fresh air and went into the garden. I made some peppermint tea and joined him. We sat on the terrace and I had to bring it up again. I wanted to know more. He was uncomfortable. He asked why did I always need to analyse everything. He had been through it all week with Ruth, and he was tired of it. He cannot remember what causes him to dislike puppies and rubber. His mind has locked that information away again after that time in december. I was not sure why he had come to me with his confession then. What was he trying to tell me? He explained, that I know so much about him. His problems, his family, his anxiety. Ben hardly knows anything about me, my past, ex-boyfriends, what shaped me. When he asked, I would usually answer, but not elaborate. I pondered that, and yes, I am not very forthcoming with stuff. So, he had decided to keep this information from me, it was a very personal experience and I just have to accept his aversion and live with it. He has no desire to explore it or do therapy. He just wanted me to know that he had kept it from me and now he thought it was not right that he knew he kept something from me. ??? I was confused. I kept probing. He got quite angry. He said I sometimes treat him too much like a child, or someone stupid. Ouch. He immediately retracted, said he likes being submissive, and sometimes likes to hand over and be like a child. But we had to find the balance.

We were both quiet for a while. My mind was still coming back to the first question. Why not tell me, and tell me now. He had remembered something which had a huge effect on his life, and now he cannot remember it. So why tell me at all?

He got up: I would like to go for a walk. I thought it was a good idea. He said: no, I would like to go on my own. I realised he was asking for permission. I asked him to make sure he had his phone and it was charged. I got a look. Ah, I treated him like a child again.

I came back upstairs, but could not settle. So I went for a walk. Ben had said he was going to go towards town. My walk took me to Stine and Torben. They were working in their front garden and invited me in for coffee. Of course they asked about our week with Ruth and I was able to talk about my current upset. They sided with Ben. I just had to accept it. Everything.

So that is what I am trying to do. I am still curious what the dream was. I have always been curious to know what caused his aversion.

It was getting late, Ben had been gone for about 3 hours. I checked to see where his mobile is. The service could not detect it. So I checked his chip. It had a last location of Mariatorget, a huge square in Sodermalm with a lot of shops, bars and a big cinema and theatre complex. That was 90 minutes ago. I told myself he is ok, he is an adult. When he came home I confessed I had checked on him. He had been to the cinema, so of course he had switched the phone off. We were not impressed with the GPS chip. Should it have detected him inside the building? Or does it in general not work to pinpoint locations? I might contact the Schloss to clarify that.

We had a good evening together. We did not talk again about that issue. For him, I think, the topic is finished. It will take me a while longer. He has quite a pragmatic view of life. What will happen will happen. Your life is pretty mapped out, events happen for a reason to shape our life.



He has been in his room writing his journal for quite a while. Maybe the topic is not finished. I am sure we will get back to it this week. Or at least talk about our relationship. We have touched on that and not brought that to an end. This was a real fight. A relationship defining fight. Oh, I need to finish this. I am getting myself into twists here. I just hope I can sleep and banish all these worries.


Back to the 2 of us


Saturday, 22nd April

We took Ruth to the airport this morning. I am writing at our little breakfast table today, looking at the rain in the garden. We have moved the cage into the living room. Ben wanted some time. I did not want him alone in the playroom, so we have put a blanket over the cage. This is a new one. I quite like it. Knowing he is here, but unable to see him. I took his collar off and have exchanged it for a wide leather one. He has mitts on and is locked in restraints which are fitted to the cage. And he is gagged and has earmuffs on. He can still hear a little. Isolated. I keep quiet. I can hear him sometimes moving. He can most likely hear me or sense my movement. It gives me a new sense of power. I have to be careful not to abuse it. I have given him a drink about 30 minutes ago. Time for some more.



The last 2 days have been quite intense for Ben. I have read what he has posted about it in his blog, you will have to read it if you want to know. I was surprised by Ruth. We went to the club on Thursday evening. We did not stay very long. She had wanted to see it, but was clearly uncomfort-able. The punters were surprised to see me and Ben on another night than M/S.

When I came home on Friday, Ruth and Ben were lying on her bed. They looked well in tune. Ruth had been packing and they had talked. Goodness, they had made peace talks at the UN look easy!

For Ben a lot of questions have been answered, for Ruth it means she has to define her life anew. That's kind of what she said.

Her and I were talking late on Thursday, she had asked me how I got into bondage, what it did for me, etc. I think it was the first time I had such a frank talk about our lifestyle with a muggle.

We are back!!


Wednesday, 19th April

I had a meeting with HR and my department manager to discuss me working part time whilst lecturing. We have agreed on a schedule, but I did not want to say definitely yes without talking to Ben and thinking about it a bit longer.

Ben and Ruth were cooking when I came home. They had been to Upsalla today. Luckily we have had nice weather all week.

After dinner I asked to have some time with Ben. Ruth wanted to read her book anyway. They had mentioned they had “meaningful talks” again on the train and were all talked out anyway. Ben awaited me in the playroom, kneeling, but that was not what I had in mind. I just wanted to chat about my meeting and to sound out how he was. He was quite tired from their trip and talked out. Of course he encouraged me to go ahead with what I had planned with my manager. He mentioned he would like to find something else to do to keep him busy after the summer. He will not have classes any more. There might be an option to do more shifts at the Centre, or he might want to find a class.

We had a bath together and then Ben got ready for bed.

Our bath was nice. It was good to be quite intimate. We have been kissing and touching, better – I have. Was it to make a point to Ruth? She feels uncomfortable with it. Knowing we had privacy in the bathroom, we could both relax. We just enjoyed being us. Ruth was in the kitchen when I came to make some tea. Ben came to say good night. He is sleeping in his room as we both need a good sleep. Ruth wanted to talk to me. She thanked me for having her, she said she now understands Ben

much better. Not only because they talked so much about the past, but she experienced Stockholm, me and she got to know the person he is now. I am glad them two were able to work things out. At least 2 people in our extended families are happy.

Well, I think writing about this tonight has helped me settle my thoughts. I better go to bed myself, operations tomorrow.

Holiday

I am taking a little holiday as I have not written Ben's part from now yet.
Maybe a week or so.


Thanks.
