The journey continues

Have had a really good couple of weeks. Some legal matters have been finalized (yay for being legally unmarried, finally!) and preparations are underway to move into a new house with my girl. It will be nice to just have a home to go to, rather than spending time going between two different places.

Have had some good progress on the return of power exchange to our relationship. We have had 4 nights of D/s in the last two weeks, and bits of it are seeping over even into the days we aren't "officially" doing it. It feels good to be back to feeling more like myself. And the interactions feel more "normal" than a traditional relationship. It always feels a bit like we are trying to force it if we are actively trying to make sure there is no power dynamic going on in our decision making and discussions of mundane items.

Been smoking more cigars, which is nice, but I keep thinking I should slow it down a little bit. It is an expensive habit and feels almost too indulgent. Not a lot of kink going on, but we have done a bit of rough body stuff. (And hair pulling, choking and biting are always a part of our love life.) Discovered a fondness for kicking in my girl. Gets her very wet. My leather shoes have a very nice lustre to them the day after they have been tongue washed following a good round of cunt-kicking. :)

Going Away to Find your Home

Took a nice little trip this weekend. Lots of time in the car, lot of time when it was really just us. Great re-connecting. We didn't even have to be talking a lot of the time. Just knowing she was there, I could reach out and squeeze her hand or stroke her thigh. We both really needed this with all of the dynamic issues we had and the thoughts of if/when it could or would be started up again.

Just us. A couple having fun. No kids, no real demands. Sleep in, cuddle, watch TV (or not). Go for a wander in a wonderful city. Enjoy finds of good food, good drink, good smoke and some good kink. Our connectedness had improved over the last couple weeks, but it wasn't until the weekend was drawing to a close, and really some today, that we both (or I at least) realized how far it still hadn't. This weekend really brought that level up.

It was good to have a nice kinky demo with a relaxed atmosphere away from people who knew us (and thought they knew our kinks well). No expectations, no reputations to live up to. Just enjoying a great presentation, smiling, laughing and getting kinky with a group where many people had no ideas of experience levels or what they had ever done (or hadn't). And the demo. Rough play. MMM. There is nothing I find more enjoyable than some hands on rough play. Except maybe rope, but that is very hands on and intimate as well.

There is just something about feeling exactly how their body is responding under your slap, hold, punch, or poke. The minute adjustments, increases in frequency or force. Completely energized (and a bit frustrated...goddamn that was a lot of foreplay with a very long delay before consummation) and put us both in a very happy space.

Hopefully riding this wave for a good long while. :)
