So - There's been this thing that I've been doing since my birthday, which I was meant to have stopped. That's smoking. I was given a week to smoke all that I wanted before my birthday due to a whole bunch of stress that I was going through, and after that, while I knew I shouldn't, I kept doing it.
I was asked on many an occasion if I was smoking more than my allowance of one a day, on each I answered no. I would smoke; brush my teeth, use mints, Listerine, perfume, anything that I could get my hands on so that he wouldn't know that I was smoking more than I was meant to. It got to the point where I knew I was going to be in trouble, and just couldn't bring myself to confess. I’d already lied once.
So now my problems are twofold - a) I'm smoking more than one a day and b) I lied when I was asked about it. There's a c), and that is that I didn't write down what I had done that would be worthy of punishment into my book (I have a pink notebook that I carry with me, to write things that I think he should know, it's a nice constant reminder that he is always with me, and God knows, I should have used it).
Last night, my Dom (I'm aloud to call him that now, I think, because he said that while I wasn't collared I was his sub anyway) confronted me, I lied to him again, but for some reason, I knew that he knew. I'm not a great liar at the best of times, and to be honest, part of me just wanted him to know, wanted it out in the open, no matter what that meant I would have to go through to redeem myself.
Now, this was all well and good at the time. He didn't get mad, though I knew he was disappointed, which was far worse. We sat on the couch (we had company) and all I could think of was that he wouldn't love me anymore. That I had blown it, not so much by smoking, but more so by being dishonest. Our relationship is based on total honesty. We have both admitted our deepest and darkest secrets to each other, and my lie was unnecessary, and disrespectful. I kept it together for about two hours, before I started crying, in front of our friend (who was asleep, thank God). He turned the TV off, told our friend that we were going to bed, and we went to my room. I couldn't even bring myself to get my clothes off for bed, I just sat with my legs crossed on the bed sobbing that I was sorry.
He wasn't cruel to me, at all. We sat, and we talked about what I had done, but he didn't raise his voice, or tell me that he didn't love me anymore. We talked about what my punishment would be -
1. I was to write in my book about what our love meant to me, and where I saw our relationship going, and how that was effected by dishonesty
2. I was to blog about what I had done, and how he handled things
3. I was to not smoke for a week starting Monday
4. Every time I wanted a smoke during that week, I was to make myself cum. is it at work, at home, where ever. I was to take my vibrator, and spare batteries with me.
5. I was to write the things that I had done, that deserved reprimand into my book (smoking (disobeying an order), being dishonest, and not noting the former two in my book).
I was surprised, though I had clearly disappointed him, he held me close to him while I sobbed and we talked. I cried my eyes out, he stroked my hair. He kissed my forehead. He told me that he loved me. He told me that he would not stop loving me over something like this, and that he would probably not stop loving me ever. I had expected that he would not want me near. I had expected that he would not want to talk to me. I had expected that he would hurt me.
I talked to him about all the times that I had wanted to be honest with him. I told him about how scared I was that he would reject me because I wasn't perfect. I told him about how I hated hiding the secret, and how I knew that what I was doing was harming our bond. I explained that it felt like it just got so big, that I couldn't broach the subject.
He told me he had known since my birthday. He told me that each time I had lied, he had known. It reminded me of something that my Dad once said to me. He said that I would get in trouble for doing something wrong, but I would get in much more trouble if I didn't be honest, and admit to what I had done. Usually I follow the example set for me by my Dad, but my desire to be well behaved, and looked upon fondly by my Dom, who is oh so important to me, mistakenly, led me achieve the exact opposite of my intentions.
So this is actually phase two of my redemption (I call it that, because it is that more so than a punishment) - He is making me do these things so that I realise exactally what was wrong with what I did. It's like he didn't need to make me feel sorry by punishing me, because he already knew how honestly, totally, sorry I was. How I just wanted things to be right, and how the thought that he wasn’t proud of me was eating me from the inside out. I will never forget his kindness, his understanding, his openness to my feelings. I remember he told me that he didn’t need to forgive me, because he had done that long ago. Those words still make me want to cry, the same tears that I cried when he said them last night. Tears of happiness. Tears, from the feeling of being totally loved, even though I’m not perfect. Tears from the feeling that I don’t need to be perfect, I’m not expected to be perfect, and that I am going to be loved by someone so very important to me anyway.
I’m relieved, as I said. I’m glad that I don’t have the secret anymore. I’m glad that now I can start to make things better. I’m glad that he was still there for me, that he didn’t walk away because things got messy. I’m blessed.
And then he let me make him cum. And he made me cum. And while we didn't have sex, I feel like we made love. And my back is covered in bite marks from the last two weekends, and today, they mean more to me than normal.
I just want everyone to know that my darling wife and I celebrated our 34th wedding anniversary yesterday, they have been the best year's of my life and I pray that our dear God will bless us with health and age to do another 34. together.... read entire post
