[text] I wouldn’t be telling you if he said no, so obviously he said yes. Yeah, how about we wait until Roselle approves it before we celebrate anything.
TAGGING → Ryan Sterling and Joey Duval [purplejoey]
LOCATION → Ryan’s Room
TIME FRAME → June 12th
GENERAL NOTES → Happy things.
Ryan finished setting up his bedroom, pleased with everything he'd had planned for the night. There was only one more thing he needed, and that was in his kitchen. Well, two more things he needed. "Come here, pet." He called out for Joey, crossing one of the things off his list. "I want you to crawl to my room. On my bed is a new plug for your harness, go put it on." He instructed him to get him out of the way as he pulled the mold out of the freezer and brought it back to his room. As he walked in he looked up to see how his boyfriend was doing.
Joey was sitting on floor by the couch as Butter leaned against him. His puppy now bigger then him and almost making it seem like he wasn't there from certain angles. As his name was called, Joey moved to the bedroom. He took in his instructions and did as he was told. Pulling the harness down, he changed the plug and moaned as it filled him. Now laying as he was told, Joey smiled to his dominant as he was ready for whatever the night brought.
Ryan smiled to see his boyfriend in position and waiting for him. "Such a good boy." He praised, running his fingers through Joey's hair as he looked down at him. "So tonight I thought we'd play a little game, and be impressed with me I made something edible without destroying my kitchen." He added as a joke, as he help up the popsicle mold. "I'm going to handcuff your wrist behind your back. I'm going to put this popsicle across the room, where the key to your handcuffs are frozen inside." He said, pointing to the little area he'd set up in the corner of the room where there was a stand for the popsicle and the floor was covered to keep his room clean. The last thing he needed was Ms. Larson on his ass. "I want you to eat away at the popsicle until you get the key and bring it back to me." He pointed to the opposite side of the popsicle corner where he'd set up a comfy chair. "How does that sound to you, pet?"
Joey pressed into his touch. He loved getting the good boy praise that he earned from his boyfriend/dominant. Listening closely and looking about the room, he licked his lips. He liked the idea a lot, it would be fun and popsicles were nice in the hot weather. "Yes sir. I like the idea alot. I can't wait to start."
Ryan smiled at how interested Joey seemed to be in the idea. "Good." He took the mold and set up the popsicle on one end of the room. Then he made his way back to Joey, grabbing the pair of leather handcuffs off the bed and binding his boyfriend's wrist behind his back. He'd done this a number of times, but he still loved seeing Joey bound, especially when he had to earn the right to get out of them. He kissed the tattoo on Joey's shoulder when he was finished and stood again. "Oh, and there's one more thing." Ryan added, slipping his hand into his pocket to pull out a remote which he switched on, causing the plug in Joey to vibrate. "A little motivation for you." He grinned, running his fingers through Joey's hair. "Now go get that key."
Joey watched where the popsicle was put and moved around a bit. With his hands cuffed, he knew he could still do this. But the sudden feeling in him had his back arching. Always a catch with him, and Joey should have known this was possibly going to happen. Moaning softly, Joey moved from the bed and over to the popsicle. He started to suck on the head of him, working it down as fast as he could.
Ryan watched Joey climb off the bed and make his way over to the popsicle, then made his own way to the chair to settle himself in and watch. From where he sat he had a pretty good view. He could check out his boyfriend's ass while watching him go down on a popsicle. Needless to say, it was a pretty fun sight to see, and he leaned back to enjoy the scene as he waited for his boyfriend to get the key.
Joey sucked down on it more. He wanted that key and wanted to show off as well. He hummed as well, closing his eyes as he sucked on it more. He could feel it getting thinner in his mouth, so Joey bit into the popsicle and chewed it before sucking more. Time starting to past faster he got closer to the key.
Ryan winced a little at the bite. Logically, it had to happen but in the fantasy playing out in his head the whole thing worked a lot better without biting. Crossing his legs, he turned the vibrator up one more setting now that Joey was getting closer to the key. "Come on, baby. I can't wait until you get that key back to me. I have so much planned for you."
Joey looked back to him, moaning as the remote was turned up. He wiggled his ass and worked ever more faster. Sucking down more, Joey felt the cold metal. He tugged at it until it was free. Smiling as it hung out of his mouth, he slowly scurried to Ryan and held the key up to him.
Ryan smirked as Joey wiggled his ass, leaning back as he waited for his boyfriend to come back to him. "Good boy." He praised as the other held the kay up to him. He took it back and ran his fingers through Joey's hair. "Now, would you like me to let you out of your bonds? If you do, you're going to have to ask me politely. You know I like good manners."
Joey smiled even more as Ryan took the key from his lips. Leaning into his thigh, Joey nuzzled him there. "Please sir, will you take off my bonds? I want to be a good boy for my sir even more and touch him if that brings him pleasure."
Ryan smiled as he continued to pet Joey's head and turned off the vibrator. "Such a good boy, this is why you always bring me pleasure." He noted, as he motioned for Joey to turn around so he could unlock the cuffs. He worked on undoing to leather bonds from Joey's wrist, the soft click of a lock being heard just before he pulled each cuff from his wrist. Then he slid his hands down to Joey's, giving his a quick squeeze before letting go. There was rustling for a second, then, "You know what's interesting about this key?" He prompted, standing up so he was facing Joey. "It opens more than one lock." From behind his back he pulled out a black box with a silver keyhole that he'd hidden behind the cushions of his chair. "Would you like to have the honors of opening it?" He asked, handing the key back to Joey as he held the box out in front of him.
Joey smiled to him. "I've always liked to being yours and your good boy." he turned back around, feeling the cuffs come off. Joey was back looking at him, smiling softly. As Ryan spoke of the key, Joey looked at him confused at first. He wasn't sure where this was going. What else could it unlocked. Now faced with a fancy box and the key given back, Joey was scared at first. "Yes sir, I'd like that." He studied the box then slowly put the key in. Hearing a click as it unlocked, he waited to see what was inside.
Ryan couldn't help the huge grin spreading across his face as Joey finally unlocked the box. His heart was racing in his chest, but not out of nervousness, instead it was excitement. It was a thrill, one that he used to get from sneaking out at night to do insane things. Now he was feeling it again for a completely different reason, and it never felt more right. "Joey, since I've met you everything in my life has only gotten better. I love you, and I know you're someone I need to be by my side, always." Ryan lifted the lid of the box to reveal the shiny new collar inside, custom made from the best quality material and engraved with Ryan's own initials. "Will you be my submissive?"
Joey felt his heart racing. What was in the box. His eyes were on Ryan's once more when he spoke. The way he spoke had Joey holding his breath. But then the box was opened and he gasped. The collar was what he always dreamed of having and now it was there. Looking back to those brown eyes that had entered his soul and never left, Joey felt a tear fall. 'I love you too, sir. Yes, of course I'll be your submissive."
Ryan didn't even know he was holding his breath waiting for Joey's response. "I'm really glad you said that." He couldn't imagine Joey not being his. Taking the collar out of the box he secured it around Joey's neck, snugly fit where he hoped it would always belong. Well, until Ryan purchased new collars for him, for special occasions and gifts and the like, but this, this would always be special. "You're mine, baby." He told Joey, pulling the other up to his feet and wrapping his arms around him to kiss him.
Joey gasped again as the collar locked on his neck. He smiled and was quick to be on his feet and then into Ryan's lap. Kissing him back, Joey nodded. "Officially...well once Roselle says yes." He laughed. "I'm so happy right now." Words whispered as his forehead sit against Ryan's.
Ryan held Joey close, smiling back at him with the biggest grin. Roselle still had to approve it, but once she did Joey would be his forever. His claim. That was something he could really get used to. "I'm happy too." He repeated, closing the space between them again to capture Joey's lips in another kiss.
TAGGING → Ryan Sterling and Joey Duval [purplejoey]
LOCATION → Carnival
TIME FRAME → May 16th?
GENERAL NOTES → Carnival things and fun stuff, idk this is old.
Joey walked between the food stand and games with his hand in Ryan's. The week so far and gone well, not like they were expecting it not to, but still it was going well. They had both finished their time at the kissing booth, it all seeming to go over well. Both having kissed their share of classmates. Now it was late afternoon and both boy's were hungry. "I am craving a corndog and fries. What is making your mouth drool sir?"
Ryan whistled to himself as he walked along with Joey, smiling as they walked along looking at games. It was a good time thus far, both with their trial claim and enjoying the carnival. Looking down at his boyfriend at the question, he had to cock an eyebrow. "Really, babe? Everything. You know me, I'm always down for everything. Corndogs and fries sound pretty epic though, let's go." He agreed, tugging his boyfriend's hand to lead him to the right booth.
Joey laughed. "I know I know but I wanted to ask and see what you're just dying to have. I mean we could eat it all but then we'd gain a bunch of weight then we'd...nevermind." A smile covered his cheeks as followed him to the booth. Once they had the food in their hands, Joey took a big bite of the corndog as he winked to Ryan. "I've had a lot of practice." Explaining after he swallowed the bite.
Ryan laughed at his boyfriend's teasing, adding a slight roll of his eyes as they grabbed their food. He paid for it of course, but he paid for everything between them without a second thought. That's how it was though, and he liked being able to take care of his boyfriend this way. Licking his lips, he looked at his food eagerly ready to take a bite when he watched his boyfriend down his corndog. The sound that escaped his mouth was a cross between a sputter and a laugh but he couldn't help himself. "Hot." He grinned, taking a bite out of his own corndog. "You'll have to practice more when we get back to our room."
Joey chuckled at the sound that Ryan made, winking once more. "Oh I think I can manage that sir." He was just enjoying the day so much so far and really, it was such a nice day too. As they walked and ate, Joey found himself glancing at the rides and the booths. "Ry would you win me a stuffed animal like all the boyfriend's do in those cheesy teen movies? Please Ryan!"
Ryan leaned into Joey with a smile. "And here I thought I was your sir." Though obviously that notion was a bit lost as Joey got into the whole atmosphere of the fair. "You know all these games are rigged anyway, right?" He asked, though even as he did he knew he'd give in just given the look on Joey's face. "Alright, which one do you want? I'll see what I can do for you." He said, winding up his throwing arm for effect.
Joey pouted some, then smiled as Ryan gave into him. Having the big eyes he had did come in handy for him. Walking through, Joey stopped at the balloon pop stand. "This one. I want to see your aim plus they have a giant purple teddy bear. And even if its rigged, I know you can beat it baby."
Ryan made a 'pfft I so got this face' because he totally did. "Babe, I have incredible aim. One of the many things you'll learn about me." He grinned, tooting his own horn a bit before going up to the booth in question. He paid and got situated before casting a glance over at his boyfriend. "Come here, babe. I need my good luck charm." He grinned, before turning his attention to the game and setting up his aim. Then the starting buzzard went off and it was so on.
Joey giggled as he walked over to him. "Good luck charm huh? But if you're that good at this why would you need luck baby?" He had to tease him, this was just how they worked. They care about each other, Joey loving him but not saying it much anymore because it felt pointless when it was only said by him, but they would always tease the other. With the buzzard starting, Joey started to cheer him on.
Ryan grinned. "Because I like to have all the odds on my side. It's how you win." The game was quick, and Ryan was laser focused on filling his balloon first. He forgot about everything else before the loud POP! rang out loud, on his station of course. He grinned, looking over at his boyfriend and leaning in to give him a kiss. "And that's how it's done."
Joey nodded to him. He couldn't believe how fast and good Ryan was at this. Joey would have to keep this in mind for another time. As Ryan won, he cheered and kissed him back."Hmm I see that. I'm proud of you." Stealing another kiss from his lip.
Ryan smiled after their small stolen kissed. The attendant coughed to get his attention again so he could pick his prize, and he picked the giant purple teddy bear for Joey. He took it from the man with a thanks, slipping him an extra tip out of kindness before handing the bear to Joey with a grin. "What do you think, babe?"
Joey smiled to him, taking the bear and hugging it tight to his chest. It was almost as big as Joey. "I think I love this bear and we should go on rides now." Kissing him once more before taking his hand and pulling him over to the line for the scrambler. Joey cuddled to his side as they waited in line.
Ryan laughed as Joey hugged the bear, thinking they looked like quite the pair, and shook his head in amusement as he wrapped and arm around Joey to continue walking with him. "Wait, wait, wait." Ryan started as Joey dragged him by the hand. "Are you actually bolunteering to go on a ride with me? I thought you were afraid of them."
Joey looked up to him. "Well this one isn't a roller coaster. Those I don't do. I don't do heights except to kiss you but yeah, no heights." He shook his head to him. The line moved fast so they were on the ride quicker then thought. Strapped in, Joey held Ryan's hand with the bear safely in the seat with them.
Ryan "So you'll do heights to kiss me?" He asked, because obviously that would be the only thing he locked in on. He knew Joey was talking about the ferris wheel though, but that was sweet and he'd have to make a note to visit that at the end of the night so they could have one of those corny romantic moments that he always heard about in romcoms. Ryan was amused by the bear next to them, but squeezed Joey's hand anyway. "I'll be right here." He reassured his boyfriend as the ride started to move.
Joey rolled his eyes. "I meant by how much taller you are then me. Not about the rides but the Ferris wheel is okay. Its slow...okay maybe I just don't do coasters." Smiling to him, Joey held his hand tight as the ride started. He was laughing as they moved around and around, making them be thrown into each other's sides. As the ride ended, Joey climbed out with a smile on his face. "That was fun!"
Ryan laughed as the ride ended, having been thrown about a suitable amount for his taste. He was still dying to go on the roller coaster though. "That was a lot of fun." He agreed, taking the bear out of the seat and handing it back to Joey. "So." He started, taking Joey's hand as they walked off the ride. "What does a guy have to do to convince you to try one coaster with me. Just a little one, with no loops, promise." He tried, giving Joey his best smile.
Joey smiled back and shook his head. "You can't. I hate roller coasters with a passion...." He hated letting his boyfriend down like this but he had always had a fear of them and it wasn't just going to poof any time soon.
Ryan let out a fake sigh, but was smiling again a moment later. "Fine, no roller coasters. Maybe I can track down Jeff and make him ride with me." He decided, eyes deviously seeking out his twin for a moment before turning his attention back to Joey. "You're lucky I love you so much." He told him, planting a kiss on his cheek before looking up at the cotton candy stand. "Oooh cotton candy."
Joey could only laugh as Ryan looked around for the boy he was twinned to. So caught up in the moment, it took a bit for the words to process. Now Joey stood there with his jaw dropped. He was froze really for a moment before following after him. "Ryan, what did you just say?"
Ryan was trying to decide if he wanted the pink cotton candy or the blue one. You know what, mixed was probably the best bet. Looking down at his boyfriend he pointed at the cotton candy stand. "I said oooh cotton candy. I'm thinking we'll get a mixed one so we can have a bit of both. Can you really tell the difference between the two flavors though?" Oh well, may as well go for it, this was their last carnival before graduation.
Joey stomped his foot and rubbed his brow. "Ryan Michael, you know thats not what I meant! And mixed is good, yeah." Crossing his arms around the bear, Joey just stared up to him. "You can't say that for the first time ever and then move on like its nothing..."
Ryan raised a brow at Joey, forgetting all about the cotton candy to give the other his full attention. "It's not nothing." Ryan said, pulling the bear down so he could look Joey in the eye. "Joseph Duval," He started, since he'd gotten full named too. "I'm in love with you. I have been for a while, I should have said it sooner." He ran his fingers through Joey's hair before sliding them around his head and pulling Joey in for a kiss.
Joey looked to him through his lashes, not even picking his head up as Ryan spoke. When he said his name though, he lifted his head some as he blushed and smiled. Leaning in to kiss him back, Joey smiled against his lips. "I love you too...god I've wanted to say that for a while." Giggling and kissing him once more.
Ryan chuckled at that. "But you told me you loved me ages ago." He paused for a second, eyes cast downwards. "Sorry it took me so long to get with the program. Told you I'm not the best at this stuff. But you've got me now, and you're mine. You always will be." He was going to make sure of that.
Joey chuckled. "I meant saying the too part. Saying it back to you...finally." He caught his eyes and held his cheek there. "I told you, I'd wait forever for you to say it. I just stopped because I felt like I was pressuring you some to say it, still felt it though." Stealing a kiss that was soft and loving from him, "Good because I am yours. Nothing will change that."
Ryan smiled at that, pleased that Joey was happy and they were both finally in the place that they needed to be. Free and loved. "Thank you for waiting. I don't think you understand how much that meant to me, but thank you." This was pretty perfect if you asked him. He gave Joey one last kiss before pulling away. "Come on." He said, squeezing Joey's hand. "How about that cotton candy?"
Joey smiled. "Well no more waiting now." He commented as he took Ryan's hand as well. "Yes. Cotton candy. I think we should get both because why not?" He shrugged. "We're young and healthy...plus sugar rushes are fun." His brow wiggling as he stepped up with him to the counter.
Ryan laughed at Joey's comment before stepping to the front of the line and paying for some cotton candy. When their transaction was done he lead Joey away from the booth with a giant stick of cotton candy in tow. "Here babe, have some." He said, holding the stick out to his boyfriend. See, he had self control. He only bought one. Or he was saving room for funnel cakes, he'd never tell. "Okay, so what's next on the agenda?"
Joey took a bite of the cotton candy as he smiled with it sticking out of his mouth. "I was thinking..." he sighed some, shaking his head. "Damn you're lucky I love you. I'll try that coaster with no loops thing I think...yeah. I'll try it."
Ryan nearly dropped his cotton candy. "Really?!" The biggest grin spread across his face and he took Joey's hand to run towards the coaster, not wanting the other to change his mind. "You're the best, you know that?" He said when they were finally in line, Ryan still smiling like an idiot. It was just a baby coaster, but he knew this was a huge thing for Joey and he was stoked.
Joey nodded, laughing and trying not to fall as he was tugged toward the ride. Just looking at it had his stomach in knots but he was going to try this. Relationships were about compromise and he'd do this for Ryan as Ryan did things for him. "I know I'm the best but you can keep telling me...or show me." Winking as he hid his nerves.
Ryan laughed at that. "I promise I'll always show you." He reassured his boyfriend, leaning in to give him a chaste kiss as he wrapped his arms around him. then, leaning in to speak into his ear. "And I'll repay you with the dirty version of that later." He winked as he pulled back, then looked at the ride operator as he opened the gate to let them get into their seats. "You sure about this, babe?" He asked, wanting to give joey that final out if he needed it.
Joey kissed him back, smirking and nodding to him. "Now that I can get behind and love to hear." He whispered to him as he stayed close. The gate was open and it was now or never. Joey didn't respond to him, just stepped onto the ride and tucked his teddy between his legs as he took Ryan's hand with a weak smile.
Ryan nodded, following Joey to the seat and squeezing in next to him. "You'll be fine, babe. And I'll be here the whole time." He reassured his boyfriend, holding his hand and giving it a squeeze as their belts were locked into place and they started to move. "My best advice, just close your eyes and scream." Weird thing to say, but actually pretty solid for a coaster, especially when you weren't a fan of them. They reached the top and then it was a sharp pull downward as they were off.
Joey nodded. He had his eyes open though, hearing the click as they got higher and higher. Suddenly it all stopped and they were going down. He closed his eyes then, holding his mouth shut. He didn't scream, didn't make a noise, just held on tight and waited for it to end.
Ryan enjoyed the ride, it wasn't as fact paced or crazy as he usually enjoyed, but it was pleasantly fun. Looking at the boy next to him he could see Joey would probably disagree. As the ride slowed to a stop he nudged his boyfriend. "It's over, babe. You survived." He tried, hoping his boyfriend wouldn't puke or cry or any other variation of that. "You okay?"
Joey felt the ride slow. he opened his eyes, looking to Ryan when he spoke. he only nodded at first, scared of what he's say. once they were away from it some, Joey looked up to him. "Sorry..I tried to be strong and brave for you but I failed."
Ryan shook his head. "Don't say that. You went on the ride, that's pretty strong and brave if you ask me." He reassured him, giving him a hug and kissing the top of his head. He readjusted Joey's bear in his arm and took his boyfriend's hand. "Come on, you did something I wanted, let's go do something you want."
Joey nodded to him. He sighed softly and held his hand. "I really want to go on the ferris wheel but its to early so I don't know what else." Looking around some more, he finally found something to do. "Let go on that." Pointing to knock off version of the tunnel of love.
Ryan nodded. "When it gets dark we'll definitely go on the ferris wheel. It'll be corny as hell, but I know you want that kiss at the top of the ferris wheel and I do too. Just do me a favor and never tell Jeff." He didn't need his brother giving him hell for being as corny as him. Looking at where Joey was pointing, he let out a small resigned sigh. You really couldn't get more cliche than that. "Alright babe, let's go." He said, pulling Joey along with him. Cliche, yes, excuse to get close to his boyfriend, also yes.
Joey grinned even more to Ryan. The ferris wheel would be fun but the fact that he got him to say yes to the knock off tunnel was awesome. The line didn't take long to get thru and soon they were in their boat. As Joey cuddled up to him, he nibbled on Ryan's jaw lightly. "My boyfriend." he whispered.
Ryan settled into the little boat for two, pulling Joey in close because if he was going to be on this ride he was going to take full advantage of it. While sweet things were all around them all he could focus on was the feeling of his boyfriend's mouth on him. "That's right." He whispered back, pressing kisses down Joey's neck. "And you're all mine."
[text] Joey’s not convinced when I tell him I’m getting fat because my pants don’t fit like they used to. We used to have the same waist, so if I show him your pants don’t fit me then he’ll have to believe me.
What are you guys going to do there? And yes, I will make sure our paths cross , for sure. I won’t know anyone over there except Sir, so I’ll need some visitors.
I don’t know, whatever we want. Explore, party, see the sights, meet the people, in Joey’s case, go to class. What about you? Good, it’ll be nice to see a familiar face over there. Definitely make sure that happens.
I wouldn’t blame you. I’m pretty sure if there weren’t punishments involved, most of the school would be skipping classes and spending afternoons napping on the lawn.
Too true, especially with the weather getting warmer. I can’t imagine what this place would be like if we weren’t severely punished for skipping classes. How have you been spending your afternoons then?
You don’t really get much out of being traditional anyway. Except maybe some burgers, but you could grill those any time weather permitting. Might as well go for what you’re jonesing for.
Our exam consisted of transporting a moderately heavy box to the museum by 6pm. Along the way we were accosted by three men who threatened us with the intention of taking our box, something neither of us were willing to give up very easily. In order to protect what we were tasked with delivering we evaded the men, who gave chase, but were eventually lost due to some clever maneuvering. Luckily we were able to deliver the box in time, which although in retrospect wasn't the true point of the exam, did turn out to be a point of pride for us.
Walking into this exam neither of us knew what to expect, but in coming out of it we've learned several things about each other and about ourselves, both in small personal ways to a broader scope. Here are a few of our key learnings.
First and foremost was trust. Both of us are lucky in that we already had a relationship with each other going into this exam. That provided us with a basis of trust and respect for each other before ever facing any sort of controversy. However, we discovered that it's easy to trust someone in relatively safe day to day to day life. It's another matter entirely when you find yourself in a dangerous predicament in an unpredictable circumstance. Often in our relationship we have to trust each other to communicate openly so that our scenes are always safe and consensual, and so we can personally grow together. It's always been a vital part of our dynamic together, but we found it even more critical during the exam.
Joey, as the submissive, is used to putting his trust in his Dominant in order to hand over control of his mind and body. However, these instances have always been a very personal one on one experience between the both of us. In that car with three large men threatening us, the trust given was even greater. Ryan had no control over the three men, and could not control the degree to which things would escalate. I had to trust that he would still make the right call regardless of the things that were out of his control. Even when what he did seemed risky, I had to trust that he was looking out for our best interest and wouldn't do something that would put our lives in danger.
Ryan, as a Dominant, is used to being in control over an entire situation. When we play out scenes, I have full control over what happens, and can stop it at any time if I think things have gone too far. There wasn't any stopping this. It was a matter of life or death that didn't contain an off switch. Of course that meant I had to trust Joey, to look after our box and to follow my commands to the letter. More than that I had to trust myself and my instinct to be right. I didn't believe the men would truly hurt us and in the end they didn't. I understand logic and reasoning, but there's something intuitive in dealing with people that I had to understand.
That easily brings us into the next thing we learned, responsibility and protecting what's yours. Between the two of us, Joey has always been the most responsible. Not to say Ryan isn't, but being class vice-president on top of commitments to soccer and art club, and social and personal obligations prove that he's able to adequately balance his responsibilities while still being able to provide each of them the level of commitment and care they deserve. Ryan, on the other hand, hasn't taken on as much but still dedicates care and time to what he has. That being said, as the events of the exam unfolded, we both had to step up and take responsibility in ways we weren't the most familiar with.
Ryan, as the Dominant, naturally took charge of the situation, which was common for me. Even more so, I had to take care of my submissive, again something I know how to do quite well, just never in this manner. Normally, when I read my submissive to see how he is coping, I look for signs of physical and emotional distress, then think of ways to alleviate it. In this situation I knew he was distressed due to fear and anxiety built around what was happening. I had to focus on keeping him calm and safe, however in trying to keep him safe I had to divide my attention instead of focusing it entirely on him as I was used to. I was focused on the road, the car, the men following us, and the package we were delivering, all of which were vital to me at the time. None more so than the submissive in my passenger seat. There was nothing more precious to me in that moment than my submissive and it was that sense of responsibility and protection over him that motivated me as I prioritized and multitasked during our escape.
Joey, as the submissive, had to take a step back and focus on what Ryan could not. In this situation, my focus was on protecting the box as Ryan maneuvered us through a maze of streets and highways. It was also on keeping myself in check, focusing on staying calm and composed so that I would be a help and not a deterrent to my Dominant. Despite being afraid of what was happening, I stepped up so that I could stay calm, protect the package, and help my Dominant navigate the streets as we escaped the men chasing us. Instead of spreading myself thin to manage many things, it was about focus, drawing myself in so that I could be the most useful.
Finally, we both also learned about communication and obedience. As mentioned earlier, we both do a fair share of communicating with each other. This communication has usually been in the form of free and open discussion, something we both sit down and talk through so that we can understand each other fully. However, we learned that not all communication is that easy. In the midst of a fast paced crisis like the one we were facing, we didn't have time to sit and talk through a plan. Everything happened in quick succession, which gave us little time to talk to each other. While this does go back to trust, as he had to trust the other to do the right thing and stay calm, it did not mean there was no effort put forth to get to that place.
Ryan, as the Dominant, had to take control of the situation and trust in Joey, but I also had to communicate with him. This went beyond giving him orders, which I did issue to keep both of us on task during a high pressure situation. This also meant calming him down, listening to him when he had something to say, and explaining to him what I needed him to do. All of this having to be done quickly and effectively due to our precarious situation. It meant choosing my words carefully, expressing myself clearly and doing so in a limited amount of time while remaining calm and collected myself so as not to startle my submissive or lose control of the situation. It was a task that required I think on my feet, but also was contingent on the understanding Joey and I already have with each other. As mentioned before, we're lucky in that we know each other and are used to speaking with each other. It made it easier to communicate in a tricky situation without getting caught in misunderstandings which would have been critically detrimental in the situation.
Joey, as the submissive, had to practice obedience. Tying hand in hand with trust and responsibility over myself, I also had to be incredibly obedient for my Dominant. That meant following orders without question, but also listening to everything Ryan said and anticipating what he would need. It meant paying attention to my Dominant carefully and being able to read his verbal and physical cues and act accordingly to what he wanted. No more, no less, because while I couldn't read his mind I had to trust he knew what he was doing and follow him to the letter. While of course this was scary, it was something I knew I could do and did do, never once doubting my Dominant or myself, and rightfully so.
Overall, the experience was frightening and stressful, but in the end we managed to grow together as a couple, improve upon our skills as a Dominant and a submissive, and accomplish something that we both feel proud we were able to get through. It was an unusual but not at all unrewarding experience.
The name’s Sebastian Smythe, Dominant. I’ll only say this once. Mind your manners if you know what’s good for you. Repercussions will be waiting for those who don’t and I guarantee they won’t be pretty.
