To the Good and Noble Prince Escalus, we respectfully request your consent to enter into a Claim and in so doing doing, we gratefully submit the following:
Name of Dominant: Cade Webster (Montague)
Name of submissive(s): Dr. Andrew Capulet
Rules of our Claim:
1. When they are at home alone, or expect to be alone, Andrew will be naked. Cade will therefore answer the door so Andrew may dress, and if Andrew is home alone but expecting Cade, he will put on a robe before answering.
2. Safeword {Hippocrates} and stoplight colors are respected at all times. Safeword and/or red is an immediate stop, yellow is a discussion, green is continue.
3. Honesty is expected from both parties at all times, even if it is to say he would prefer not to discuss a particular matter. However, communication is also important.
4. When in public, Andrew will pay attention to Cade listening for the agreed upon warning {using his full name including his middle name} that his temper might be getting the better of him, and Cade will center Andrew back in the moment and bring him back under control.
5. Andrew will take some basic cooking lessons, first with Cade, and then outside the home if he wishes. Otherwise, on nights when it is Andrew’s turn to cook, Andrew is responsible for the take out. Cade will handle weekend cooking, long weekends and holidays included.
6. Andrew will be responsible for most of the household cleaning chores. Cade will clean the kitchen.
7. Any changes in regular daily routines, eg, meeting a friend for drinks after work, will be communicated to the other, via call or text.
8. All important decisions; financial, family, future, home related, will be made together, as a partnership, including discussion and respecting each other’s views if different.
9. If Andrew feels like his needs are not being met sexually, he will tell Cade and they will discuss how to address those needs.
10. Cade and Andrew will both treat one another with respect, regardless of the situation, always mindful of how they would want to be treated themselves.
Consequences (what are the consequences of breaking the rules):
If either party breaks one of the above rules, there will be a punishment that fits the crime. No limits will be broken in fulfilling a punishment, and rules still apply in punishment situations. In the case of Cade breaking one of the rules, Andrew will suggest a reparation, which Cade has the ability to alter as the Dominant.
In cases of Andrew’s temper, or work habits getting out of control, Cade will used the agreed upon signal, bind him with the nearest available usable material, remove him from the situation, etc. until things are back under control.
Other punishments include Andrew kneeling silently for Cade while they both reflect on the situation, without eye contact, for an amount of time to be determined by Cade, spankings, which may also be given for other reasons, but it will always be clear if the spankings are for punishment, always requiring counting, or for enjoyment. If the rule being broken, or the way it is broken is sexually related, Cade may chose to inflict a punishment of denying Andrew sexual release for a pre-determined and appropriate period of time.
Punishments and rules alike will be an ongoing discussion between both parties as the relationship grows and changes with time, age, and circumstance.
