Lennonās Promises
Mia dolche stella -Ā
Weāve talked at length about all this; planning for it, preparing for it and solidifying it until it was where we both knew it would succeed. We both know there are things I canāt give you, but that doesnāt mean I canāt promise you other things. So, what I do promise you -Ā Ā
I promise to always keep you, your well-being and your safety above all else. Every decision I make and everything I do will be with those thoughts in mind.
I promise that I will always listen to you: when youāre sad, scared, worried, nervous, happy - any other emotion. Though you might not get what you ultimately want, I will still always listen.Ā
I promise to always protect you from pain, from hurt and from yourself. I will always be one to guide you back when you feel yourself fall away.
I promise to create new memories with you. Not to replace the old ones, but to give you something to add to the ones you already have, ones that will help you carry on.
I promise to be always devoted to you - to always do well by you, and provide everything you will need. To care for you in good and bad, and to help guide and assist you in being the amazing woman you are.
I hope these are found to your satisfactory. I may not be able to give you the kind of relationship most expect, but I can promise to give you everything I can to be sure your life is well satisfied.
Always,Ā
Master Lennon
Noelleās Promises
Sir Lennon, my Master,
The start of this will be simple and almost a given, but you know how hard itās been to give myself to you. I promise to abide by your rules and accept any consequences that follow, as you are the man who I want to place my control with. I promise to follow your lead, as I know you care and only want the best for me. I promise to be open and not hide as I have been known to do, and Iāll remember that youāll be there for me and support as much as necessary. I want this future with you and to be your submissive as long as our lives allow, and am so thankful that you have chosen me to move into this next step in our lives. I feel safe and secure with you, as you do with me, and I promise to show my support with my actions. I know I can be outspoken at times, but I promise that I will do my best to make you proud and represent you in the best light as possible.
As of September 20th, 2016, the mutual claim between Mr. Connor Owen and Mr. Kaleb Owen has been completed.

The Administration congratulates both Mr. Connow Owen and Mr. Kaleb Owen on their accomplishment and encourages their continued success as they stay on at Orenda Estates for the time being with Kaleb coming on-staff as a Lifeguard.
If you wish to pay your well-wishes to the newly official claim partners, various claim completion gifts are available in the Gift Boutique and will be delivered to Owens at their villa.
Congratulations, again to Mr. Connor Owen and Mr. Kaleb Owen. Youāve made us proud.
Master Graham Stroud and Mistress Indira Saraswati
The following are the rules set out by Charlotte Owen, Kaleb Owen, and Connor Owen for their mutual claim. Rules refer to āClaimantā as each rule applies to all parties, who are hereby bound to these rules upon mutual agreement. These rules carry identical consequences, therefore, these consequences shall be stated once and such statement will be made after the list of rules.
Rules
Rule #1: Sexual Relations
The Claimant will have sexual relations only when they choose and may deny advances at any time, which Claimant must respect in turn. Additionally, Claimant will only have sexual relations with their fellow Claimants unless the Claimants are partaking in a group sex situation, or Claimant has requested and received an allowance for sex with someone who isnāt their fellow Claimants.
Rule #2: Respect for Claim
The Claimant must wear their indicator of their claim (i.e. Submissive collar or Dominant cuff) at all times that Claimant is in the public eye, save for dangerous situations that require removal of said indicator. The Claimant must also state that they are in a claim and show respect for their fellow Claimant if questioned about claim status.
Rule #3: BDSM Etiquette
The Claimant will respect Safe, Sane, Consensual etiquette by discussing all BDSM scenes prior to initiation and by creating and using a safe word during BDSM interaction with their fellow Claimants. The Claimant must be willing to both accept and provide aftercare, which includes seeking urgent care for their fellow Claimants in any dire situations that arise.
Rule #4: Communication
The Claimant must be truthful and forthcoming with their fellow Claimants. No matter how ashamed or pained that a Claimant feels about a topic, Claimant will communicate openly and honestly with their fellow Claimants without lying or misguiding the discussion. Additionally, in cases of misunderstanding, Claimants will hear out their fellow Claimants without judgment.
Rule #5: Making Decisions
The Claimant will never make major, life-altering decisions for themselves or their fellow Claimants without first seeking their fellow Claimants for guidance and discussion. The Claimant will also remove themselves from situations in which they are being forced to make such a decision. Likewise, Claimant will never force such a decision on their fellow Claimants, and each Claimant has the right to say what happens to their own person and body regardless of their fellow Claimantsā opinions.
Rule #6: Health of Body and Mind
The Claimant must show care for their physical and mental health including daily hygiene and seeking care for illness. Additionally, Claimant must show care for their fellow Claimantsā physical and mental health including tending to their fellow Claimants when their fellow Claimants are ill. Ultimately, Claimant will respect their fellow Claimantsā final wishes and not substitute their own.
Rule #7: Courtesy and Trust
The Claimant will be courteous to their fellow Claimants and other people regardless of another personās designation, including slaves, and regardless of the level of courtesy shown to them by another person. However, Claimant will also make a distinction between courtesy and trust, and only trust other people who have made effort to earn such a level of respect from the Claimant. On a related note, Claimant will only take orders from those that they trust, and only those orders which they feel comfortable performing.
Rule #8: Arguments
The Claimant must make a conscious effort to never end a day with unresolved tension with their fellow Claimants and wonāt allow themselves to sleep until making every logical appeal to settle any grievances with their fellow Claimants. Likewise, Claimants shall recognize when there is tension between Claimants that their fellow Claimants are attempting to end, and they will work with their fellow Claimants to find a stable solution. In the case of an impasse, Claimants wonāt start the following day with an argument, but rather wait until all Claimants are ready to try to resolve the issue and then proceed into a civil discussion.
Rule #9: Happiness
The Claimant will strive to have a positive and carefree attitude about their claim. Though itās not expected that the Claimant will always be happy, the Claimant must not hold grudges against their fellow Claimants. The Claimant will also put their concern for happiness in the following order: their own happiness, their fellow Claimantsā happiness, and then, the happiness of everyone else. Additionally, Claimant will never be negative in public about their claim, but will confide in their fellow Claimants or a trusted third party if they have negative thoughts.
Rule #10: Humility and Forgiveness
The Claimant must accept that they are human and that their fellow Claimants are human, and as humans, mistakes will be made. The Claimant should show humility and not defensiveness as a result of making a mistake or accusation thereof, and in turn, they should be understanding of their fellow Claimantsā positions regardless of who made a mistake. Claimants are not expected to forgive or even forget, but they are expected to work through mistakes that are made by any Claimant. Forgiveness, of course, comes with time and mutual compassion, and therefore, Claimant will make the effort to find common ground with their fellow Claimants to retain the validity of their claim, but they will also not stake their own sanity and health just to stay in the claim when there are mistakes made by their fellow Claimants that they find to be unforgivable.
Consequences
Consequences for breaking a rule, no matter the rule, include:
informing the fellow Claimants of the rule breakage
an ensuing probationary period of five days during which the rule-breaking Claimant must:
compose a letter to their fellow Claimants explaining their actions
give up one item or practice as decided by their fellow Claimants for the length of the probationary period
If the rule-breaking Claimants should break another rule while on probation, they are no longer allowed to share a bed with their fellow Claimants and may only leave the home with their fellow Claimants for an additional five days.
Breaking a third rule within the extended probation period is considered grounds for breaking the claim and requesting annulment if the rule-breaking Claimantās fellow Claimants should so choose. Breaking a third rule will also result in the rule-breaking Claimantās banishment from the home for five days and removal of the claim indicator from all Claimants.
In any of these cases, after the passing of the probationary period and the composition of the letter of explanation in addition to other punishments as listed above for subsequent offenses, the rule-breaking Claimant shall be considered atoned for their behavior and their fellow Claimants shall make note of such penance in writing.
Following atonement and written approval by their fellow Claimants, the rule-breaking Claimant can no longer be scrutinized for their atoned indiscretion.
Amendments
The above rules and consequences are subject to change at the discretion of all Claimants. Amendments and clarifications must be approved by all Claimants before said changes are implemented to the Claim Rules.
Promises
Kaleb Owen, I claim you and Iāve placed a mutually selected collar upon you to signify that after nearly three years together, we are capable of upholding a claim for the rest of our lives. We have been through such trials, but no one need know the months of pain and uncertainty that accompanied this relationship, because today we are smiling and today we are confident, and today, is the day that we will remember most when we look back to everything that led us to be together and having faith in one another.
The rules of our claim will undoubtedly change as our relationship matures beyond the love that defines our current passions and we grow to care for certain aspects more than we did as we wrote and agreed upon ten pillars of solidarity. However, I dare say that the promises we make to each other will never be something to alter and always something to cherish as their vagueness becomes perfectly clear in the years to come.
Foremost, I promise to find confidence in myself, confidence that I know youāve held for me and Iāve yet to uncover. My humility and awareness will always be my oxymoron, my crippling strengths, and yet, they will keep my confidence from becoming arrogance. Always, I will look to your pride in me as fulfillment and indication of improvement, because you will always be my barometer of self-worth.
I promise to continue to be more than āthe Dominantā of this claim. Our designated roles have been such an integral part of our lives, but they are paperwork and should not delegate the ebb and flow of this relationship. Thereāll be gray areas, many of which we know already, and Iāll eventually learn to not let this unfilled circle on my wrist stop me from bending in times of need.
I promise to learn to think of our relationship before I think of others and I promise to be a parent like the ones I so admire. Even as I make these promises, we both know what a struggle for me they have been and will be. As a broken person who has made countless mistakes, again and again, there has become a hindrance to my ability to be selfish in times when such greed is needed. However, I know that this would be a tragic trait to have as a parent and I vow to fight off the selflessness and the guilt I feel for putting myself and my loved ones first. You should and do matter more to me than anyone else, and I will make that a priority and our children will know they are loved more than anything.
Finally, I promise to open up to you about my lingering insecurities as well as my bolstered pride for myself, you, and our claim. My bouts of silence have never been something Iāve considered a goodness about myself, and the strain they can put on us have become woefully apparent over time, but not once have you become harsh or anything but supportive in my times of doubt. Therefore, I will learn to share and I will learn not be afraid, and I will learn that a little smugness about our accomplishments can be all the cement we need to complete a foundation.
These promises are the vows I make to you, Kaleb, and though these vows are for all to see and hear, these vows are made for our claim and our understanding alone. These vows are mere indication to scratch the surface of my devotion to our claim and future as not all promises can be put into words to be typed or stated. Some promises are meant to be felt through connection and understanding, and those vows will also gain clarity over time as we grow to be a family and a loving home of our shared aspirations. Weāll succeed in more than love and for that, I am proud to make you mine.
As of July 6th, 2016, the mutual claim between Mr. Alexander Pyrrim and Miss Sage Aubri has been completed. The official documentation has been filed and they have received their government-issued claim certificate. Their portraits are scheduled to be added to the completed claims board within the month.
The Administration congratulates both Mr. Alexander Pyrrim and Miss Sage Aubri on their accomplishment and encourages their continued success as they stay on at Orenda Estates for the time being with Sage coming on-staff as a Librarian Assistant.
If you wish to pay your well-wishes to the newly official claim partners, various claim completion gifts are available in the Gift Boutique and will be delivered to Mr. Pyrrim and Miss Aubri at their villa.
Congratulations, again to Mr. Pyrrim and Miss Aubri. Youāve made us proud.
Master Graham Stroud and Mistress Indira Saraswati
Aftercare with X has always been amazing, even from the beginning. Ā It always includes a lot of cuddling and praise, and usually accompanied by a bath together. Ā There are few things that make me feel closer to him than coming out of subspace from a scene and having him there to comfort and take care of me. Ā Iāve never felt as if he does too much or too little, or that thereās anything that he could honestly improve on. Ā Itās perfect and everything that I need, and considering all the care and affection he has always showed for me, even before we were together, I canāt ever see it degrading over time. Ā If anything, if it were even possible, itād even get better. Ā Iāve experienced drop in the past (though itās been months since Iāve experienced it, and it was never due to lack of aftercare), so I know how important aftercare is, as does he. Ā Every care to avoid it is always made and I have every confidence that it always will be.
Writing our rules was a bit difficult, because X and I have never really had a standard D/s relationship anywhere outside of the bedroom. Ā Weāve always been equals and partners and our rules reflect that. Ā To me, our promises mean more - rigidity has never been either of our strong suits and the promises come from the heart. Ā I donāt believe many punishments will result from our rules, and I definitely donāt believe any promises will ever be broken because I do believe in the sincerity of them. Ā Weāve had a long, hard road to get here, to be able to put these words and emotions down onto paper. Ā They mean more than anything. Ā As far as our documentation and relevance to the future - I believe they all will have relevance. Ā Communication is important daily, and working together as our rules speak of. Ā Theyāre things to be followed daily, and I have no doubt that we both will.
I have always felt nothing but safe with X. Ā Heās always taken care of me from day one and shown me nothing but patience and understanding. Ā Even the one or two verbal spats weāve had, itās usually sprung from misunderstanding or miscommunication, and no lines were ever crossed in those times that it happened. Ā No aggression, both physically or verbally, has ever occurred without consent. Ā X takes care of me, and I him. Ā Heās always respected my limits and I his, and neither ever felt obligated to do anything. Ā And in the times Iāve had to safeword, Iāve never felt guilty, or been made to feel guilty for it. Ā My state of mind has always been at the forefront of Xās concern. Ā No punishments have ever been earned in our relationship, and I know that X would never punish me for using one, ever.
There are times that I do hesitate to talk to X about things, but itās my own issues, not his. Ā And itās something that weāre working on together, for me to know that the concerns I have arenāt selfish to voice, that his priority is in me and if Iām concerned, he has no issues talking to me about them. Ā As far as anyone other than my partner, I have many. Ā Namely my brother, Hawthorn, and my best friend, Wes. Ā I donāt foresee any sort of break in our claim, but if there was one, I know Iād still have love and support behind it and that I wouldnāt be alone.
As of July 5th, 2016, Mr. Alexander Pyrrim and Miss Sage Aubriās mutual claim pending review has been approved. They are now considered to be in a claim pending completion, which residents normally refer to as a āclaim.ā Their names have been added to the list of Pending Claims and they will remain there until said claim pending completion is either broken or Miss Aubri completes the claim via exam or reaching a level of 4,000 points.
Furthermore, Miss Sage Aubri is now assigned to Mr. Alexander Pyrrimās villa for housing. Mr. Alexander Pyrrim is also charged with all punishments and demonstrations involving Miss Sage Aubri, and Mr. Pyrrim is considered responsible for Miss Aubriās behavior while they continue to reside here at Orenda Estates.
The Administration congratulates both Mr. Alexander Pyrrim and Miss Sage Aubri on their accomplishment and encourages their continued success in their claim pending completion. We hope to see you do us proud and complete your claim in a timely manner.
Good luck.
Mistress Indira Saraswati and Master Graham Stroud
Below are the agreed upon rules between the two proposed claimants, Alexander āXā Pyrrim and Sage Louise Aubri. Ā Both will be referred to as the claimants within this document as they both acknowledge each other to be equals within the relationship despite the designations that each carry.
1. Ā Outside Relations
Both claimants are allowed sexual relations outside of the claim, however both parties consent to discussion between them prior to said relations occurring. Ā Likewise, any pursuance of a relationship outside of the claim will be discussed between all parties.
2. Ā Communication
Both claimants will be open and honest with each other in regards to needs and wants as well as any potential issues that may arise in the future. Ā Information and feelings will be discussed frequently and openly, regardless of hesitance or guilt that either claimant may carry in doing so.
3. Ā Health
Both claimants will do their best to take care of their health both mentally and physically and will submit to doctorās care upon insistence of the other.
4. Ā Symbols of the Claim
Both claimants own something that is symbolic to the claim and will wear them when they would like. Ā However, the custom gear with the Dominantās signature mark will only be used upon the submissive unless agreed upon beforehand.
5. Ā Decision-Making
Both claimants acknowledge that the other has every right and ability to make their own decisions, however any decisions that may affect the other will be discussed first to come to a mutual decision that is acceptable by both parties.
6. Ā Home
Both claimants will share a home together as their primary residence in a mutually agreed upon location pursuant to rule five. Ā They will both work together to maintain the home, the Dominant in cooking activities and the submissive in cleaning and organization.
7. Ā Limits and Consent
Both claimants will respect the othersā hard and soft limits within scenes and respect the need for consent with each. Ā A claim does not take away the ability to consent and both claimants will respect the othersā sexual wishes in that regard.
8. Ā Possessions and Money
Both claimants will respect and share their belongings and funds. Ā Any major purchases would fall under rule five and require mutual discussion beforehand.
9. Ā Future Plans
Both claimants will seek out legal, gainful employment as they wish, with support from the other. Ā Focus will be made on what makes the other happy, again with any major decisions adherent to rule five.
10. Ā Discipline and Consequences
Discipline and consequences will be discussed and agreed upon between both claimants before each occurrence. Ā Punishments may include spankings, orgasm denial, or menial work. Ā At no point will loss of contact or a silent treatment be deemed an acceptable punishment pursuant to rule two.
Sageās Promises to X
My Xander -
This is a bit of a daunting task, isnāt it? Ā How am I supposed to put into a letter just how much you mean to me, all the things I want to promise you for our lives together? Ā I donāt know. Ā Youāve always been the one with the words. Ā And Iāve had the heart thatās too big, that cares too much.
And maybe thatās part of what it comes down to. Ā For so long, I was so scared that some part of me was broken, or wrong, that no one could love me the way I wanted them to. Ā That no one could have a heart big enough for mine, could know all the ugly and weird little pieces of me and still want me, still love me. Ā And somewhere between an odd names club and frosting fights, I found all of that in you and more.
Youāve always shown me nothing but patience and kindness even before we came together. Ā And since then ā¦ youāve shown me even more. Ā Acceptance, encouragement without pushing, strength when it felt like I had none. Ā You took care of me when I needed it the most, helped me through it all. Ā I know the last few months have been difficult for both of us, but if I took away anything from it, itās certainty. Ā Iāve never been more certain of anything. Ā If we could come out of recent history as strong as we are and still as in love, if not more ā¦ I donāt think thereās anything that life can throw at us that we canāt survive.
I know so much is up in the air about where we go after Orenda, and what our future holds. Ā But I know I can promise you some things.
I promise to always support you without judgement or hesitation. Ā I promise to do my best to take care of you, and let you take care of me. Ā I promise to be honest, and to do my best, and always be by your side. Ā And above all, I promise to always love you. Ā No matter what happens, what else comes our way, I promise to always and forever be your passerotta.
I love you,
Sage
Xās Promises to Sage
I.
I always believed myself a broken thing. Something nobody wanted or deserved thrust upon them, a stray deserving of only pitiful words and forlorn looks. I know now that no matter how broken I was, how useful I was to them as that broken thing there were always parts of me that I held onto, slivers of light that maybe I couldnāt see myself. I promise to let my guard down for you. Iām no longer a wolf heading a pack, but perhaps a domesticated dog. A protector still, my teeth not blunted at all but hidden away, and while I paced and whined about my cage at first, so long as I have somewhere to lay my head, and that somewhere is with you, then I will come to accept the domesticity.
II.
I see things that are not there, explosions and fire, and cars tipped over in the midst of riots, broken bones and battered frames and screamed desires for revolution. I know you know when I fade back into the thoughts of the one I once was, of the Ace and his hopes and dreams. I promise to cling to what Iāve got now, and continue to seek help for who I was before. The pieces were never so broken or black and white, and I know they never will be, but I know that for the good of myself, and us, that I must first care for myself, and leave the fire that scarred me behind.
III.
I come from a world leagues different from your own, but I want nothing more than for you to feel safe and comfortable in it. Our languages may have been different, my own english learned through only necessity, and your italian picked up through life by my side. I promise to show you the place I used to know, before I came from fire and hate I came from one of trust and affection. I promise you patience, and a chance to see the world by my side, because while I know settling down is on the horizon and my younger days are fast fading, that you deserve the adventure you so longed for growing up.
IV.
I know I disappoint your mother, but in some ways she deserves to be disappointed, that her little girl is in league with a rebel with rage in his eyes and a crazy filmmaking family that canāt wait to take her in for their own. I promise to be the family she never could be, I promise to give you the family that she never could be. Weāll never make your motherās mistakes, and wherever life takes us, I promise never to make my fatherās. Children are not their parentsā property, and in that, you are not mine. This is not a trade of ownership but a motion for a new partnership. I promise you family and safety for your dreams and choices where there was none before.
V.
I know weāre broken people. For all my fire and hate Iām still a scared child deep down, I carry scars I canāt shake off with a snappy comment or a burst of rage. Iām inexperienced in many things that come with being a part of the society I for so long thought never wanted a part of me, and you carry similar ones for existing within it. I promise to never compromise what I believe, that weāre equal in the face of life and death and that under my care you will never be just a submissive. Youāre my confidant, my best friend, and the first person to tell me you believed in me and genuinely meant it, and for that, Iāve grown better. You and I are broken people. But together we make something different and whole, the pieces fit together in a different, comfortable way, and I want nothing more than to keep it that way. My final promise to you Sage Aubri is that be it on an island with a Dog, in Italy with my family, or perhaps somewhere totally new with a family of our own, That Iāll be your Xander. I donāt think I need to be an X anymore.

Mistress Aryn OāKeefe, Master Graham Stroud, Mistress Indira Saraswati
Just said goodnight to Rose at her door. It feels very very strange to watch that door close and know that weāre not going to climb into the same bed tonight. Iām going for a walk on the beach. Clear my head for bed.
May 18
This isnāt so bad. Thereās something kind of romantic about kissing her at her door and letting her go, knowing that itās only temporary.
Canāt sleep. This is ridiculous. Itāsā¦ well technically itās May 19 now. Maybe I should put this in tomorrowās stupid entry for this stupid exercise in stupidity. What does this prove anyway. That we can be not together? I thought the point of a claim was proving that we could be together. Stupid.
May 19
Hope tonight is better. Ā Skyping with Dahlia tonight. She always helps me figure things out.
I think I get it now. If I canāt be apart from Rose and still maintain the same feelings of contentment and ease than really the claim isnāt healthyā¦ isnāt based on something real. You know you guys should hire my sister. She understands things or maybe she just understands me.
May 20
Iām feeling more at ease tonight. This is ok. This is truly ok.
May 21
Going out with a friend tonight. I hope that Rose is also taking time with her friends. I know that with Baby gone it has been so hard for her. I can understand now why itās important for a couple not to be so dependent and focused on just each other. She needs to have friends who love and support and with whom she has deep ties. We both need that.
May 22
I do miss waking up to her in my arms.
May 23
Just one more day. I donāt want to count my damn chickens, but I think you guys are going to approve this claim. Youāre going to give us the green light and then Iām going to marry that girl and make a life with her. And I know it wonāt be perfect and I know it wonāt always be like it is here where we can insulate ourselves together. And thatās ok, thatās good, because thatās life and the life I want is with her ā the good, the sad, the rough, the ecstatic, and yeah, even the boring day to day ā I want it with Rose Morgan.Ā

Rose Morganās Promises to Everlasting Thompson
I promise to always be honest and open with you and never hold back from telling you how I truly feel. Youāve shown me the importance of expressing my emotions instead of bottling them up and Iāve become a healthier and happier person because of that and you.
I promise to never feel ashamed or embarrassed when discussing my sexual interest with you. You have taught me that itās perfectly normal to be curious about different things and youāve never judge me about my interests. Iāve grown more confident in my own skin and that is thanks to you.
I promise to never talk badly about my body. Being comfortable with my scars has been a long journey for me. Youāve been holding my hand and staying close to my side through that Journey, building my confidence and acceptance with my body. I feel beautiful now and thatās a feeling I never knew before you.
I promise to always find ways to show you how much I love you. Whether it be words or actions, you will always know that you are loved. I never want you to doubt my love or loyalty to you. This isnāt my way of trying to prove myself. I find myself every day wanting to show how much you mean to me and I see myself still wanting to do that when weāre old and gray.
I promise to love you with all my heart, treat you as my equal and support you through thick and thin. There is a beautiful balance to our relationship that I would never in a million years change. There is no struggle for control or power. There is nothing but love and respect. My devotion to you is endless. Iāll love you until I take my last breath.
Everlasting Thompsonās Promises to Rose Morgan
I promise to keep you safe. The world is a dangerous place, full of those who wreck and break without thought or care. Never again will one of those broken people cause you harm in any way. I promise to keep our family safe always.
I promiseĀ to trust you in all things. I will never doubt or minimize the things you confide in me.
I promise to a partner in all decisions we encounter in our lives. We will be a team as we go through this life. I know that I am stronger with you than I could ever be I on my own.
I promise to never forget that you are a smart, strong, sexy woman. I promise that I will never let the day to day, the year to year erode the passion I feel for you right now.
I promise to support your dreams whatever they are and however they change. Those dreams are as dear to my heart as my own.

I thought it would be easier? I think. I didnāt think it would be easy, exactly, but not this hard. I never realized how assertive I am. How much leeway I have in my relationship with Damien. Not until now when Iāve given away all of my control to him.
Iāve never felt so vulnerable before. Soā¦ at a loss. I woke up and went to make breakfast and had to stop myself. These were decisions I could no longer make on my own. I had to sit and wait for Damien to wake up, because I didnāt have permission to do so. To receive my orders, my expectations for the day. What to make, the chores I had to do. They were all my normal routines anyway, minus work and studying and practicing. But everything else was the sameā¦ yet it wasnāt at the same time.
And we werenāt intimate. Iām not sure how I feel about that. Weāre about to go to bed now. Weāve been living by our claim rules, like weāre already claimed. So weāll be talking, though I feel a little off about it. Like how to be honest while still giving complete control to him. Maybe it will be easier tomorrow?
Day 2: February 13, 2016
It was a bit easier today. It took some time yesterday, but I had felt like I was on the edge of something. Maybe thatās why I felt so on edge yesterday. On the edge of subspace, but not quite there. I was there today. I donāt understand it. How today was so different. Nothing really changed.
Well, I guess except I knew more of what to expect. Instead of getting right up, I instead snuggled in Damienās arms until he woke up. He kissed me, and oh how nice that had felt. I only notice now as Iāve kinda come out of sub space before bed to write thisā¦ I think I woke up, essentially, in sub space. Or sunk into it while waiting for Damien to wake up. It was strange andā¦ so freeing? In a different way than normal. All I had to do was wait for what Damien wanted of me. I think this was what Brandon had been talking about when we had talked about TPE.
The kissing is nice, but I want more. How do I get more without Masterās permission?
Day 3: February 14, 2016
After writing yesterday I did something. I posted a picture of myself in lingerie. A suggestive picture, knowing Master would see. It was very bold of me, tempting Master like that. I did it without asking, but Master like it so much he urged me to post more. So I did, I posted another. And I will post more in the future. The look he gave me when he came and saw me in lingerie, all dressed up for himā¦ I didnāt have permission to do it, but I was so lonely. I wanted Master to do more than just kiss me. Didnāt Master still desired me?
He does. Today was so good. I felt so special and loved. He took such good care of me. I love him, my Master. And he loves me. Iāve never been more sure of it. We just had some bumps along the way. But thatās alright. We explored something new together. I trust him completely, and this proved just how valid my trust in him is. Heād never do anything to hurt me. He will always take care of me. Always.
Damien Blackās Entries
Day 1: February 12, 2016
Iām not sure how to feel about having total control of someone. Literally having everything they do in my hands. But, I love Aran and I know that in order to do this, I not only need him to know he can trust me, but that I can trust myself as well.
Weāre going to take this slow, and weāre going to do it together. Thatās what matters. For now, weāll start with chores, keep to our normal routine, and talk at the end of the day.
Aran seems a little different. I hope heās alright. Iāll make sure to let him know, that no matter how this all goes, Iām still me. Iām still Damien.
Day 2: February 13, 2016
Aran seems better today. I woke up to him curled up against my chest and in my arms. I made sure to give him all the kisses. We can do this. We are doing this. I want him to know that no matter what, Iām here. This is different, but in the long run, I do think it will strengthen us as a couple. I love him so much.
I made sure to kiss him throughout the day. I want him to know that heās still mine. I want him to know that this hasnāt changed anything. Heās my submissive and I will always want and desire him.
Day 3: February 14, 2016
I had been thinking how to show Aran that I want him, without making it a command, and then he began posting the lingerie photos. I told him to post more and he did and then I found him dressed in said lingerie, waiting for me. I have never wanted him more.
I did everything in my power to show him how much I need and desire him. He seemed to enjoy himself. I love him so much. I think this was a good test of our relationship and maybe itāll be something weāll explore some more, but for now, Iām just glad to proceed with our relationship.
The Claimant will only have sexual relations with the other Claimant. Unless there is such a time when both wish to pursue a Double Claim with a third party, at which point both Claimants must be in agreement.

Damienās Promises
Dear Aran,
I honestly never thought I would find someone. I thought I was destined to go to the blocks, and I had accepted that. You found me when I was in a place, where I thought no one could honestly over me and accept me the way I am. I was making my way to the blocks, acting like I didnāt care, and you saved me. You became my best, after that fateful day on the cruise. We just instantly clicked, and I have always just wanted to be around you. You make me feel like a better man, and for that, I am grateful. Iām so happy you came into my life and I canāt wait to continue our lives together.
Love,
Damien
Promises
I promise to always express how Iām feeling. With you, I feel safe being able to let my emotions show themselves and that itās not something that I should be ashamed of. I can feel with you, and I want to keep it that way not only for myself, but for you. I want to show you that I trust you with my heart.
I promise to always be there for you, no matter what. We will make it through all the rough patches in our lives as a team and I will always remain at your side and support you and help you achieve what it is you want from life.
I promise to always speak up and speak my mind, even if we disagree. I will also also listen to you, when you speak up. Itās healthy to have differing opinions, and I donāt expect either one of us to be perfect. When we do disagree, we will either compromise or agree to disagree.
I promise to take care of you for the rest of our days. For as much as you take care of me, I want you to know you will be taken care of as well. When youāre sick, I will be there. When youāre sad, I will be there. I will always protect and care for you, no matter what.
I promise to support you in any ventures you may have and also venture myself. I want us both to follow our dreams and do so as a team. You are my partner and I want to experience everything life has to offer with you by my side.
Aranās Promises
Damien. This is my love letter to you, not just my promises. I could think of no other way to do this than in a way I could be speaking directly to you. So here it is.
I donāt think I will ever forget that night we first met. I was smoking on the deck of the cruise ship, and here came this sexy as hell man all done up with tattoosā¦ But as sexy as you are, it was our conversation that has stuck with me more. Or, rather, the complete honesty.
Itās been a prevailing theme in our friendship, and into our relationship. Remember when you took me to your special place? That waterfall? I think thatās when I really started to fall for you. The things you said, your humor, the way you looked when you smiled, and the first time you ever really let me hang on you. And all the times since then.
I donāt think you knew how lost I was, or how it was you who saved me. You made me feel alive again. Even when it wasnāt perfect, when I was angry and upset, and we had to learn in our own way just how important honesty was to each other. But then perfect relationships are shit. I wouldnāt want one. Even if I had to hurt and watch you from afar, wanting you so badly that I didnāt know what to do with myself. It was worth it. Waiting until that moment when you confessed to meā¦ and I knew it wasnāt just some spur of the moment thing. You had put thought into it, and you wanted it. You confessed to me sickly, pale and weak, with my hair all poofy and wild from sleeping on it. And you told me you loved me and wanted to be with me. Wanted me to move in.
And now, here we are. Claiming. Starting a future together. A family, with our beautiful furbabies, and I love them all. But most importantly, I love you.
And so I, Aran Foley, hereby list all my promises to you.
I promise to love you until my dying breath. Even if our claim should - God, I hope not - break, I will always love you. You are my first true love, and that will never change.
I promise to cherish my time with you. The good and the bad. Every moment with you will always be precious and important.
I promise to look at no other Dominant to fill my needs but you, for you are the only Dominant I need and want.
I promise that as always I will be honest.
And for one of the most important promises. I promise that I will forever and always be here, as your best friend. No matter what may come. That will never change.
