“And I usually am,” I agreed.
“So, if you had reason for an affair, perhaps you really don’t want this relationship with Will?” That sounded reasonable, but it wasn’t true.
“It’s not like that. This wasn’t an affair of the heart. I have no emotional attachment to the other man. I was searching for something.”
“Searching?”
I couldn’t believe what I was saying, but now that I’d started I couldn’t very well stop.
“I contacted an on-line Dom.”
Reggie looked at me shocked. “Whatever for?” It seemed as incredulous to me as it obviously seemed to him.
“I contacted a man who spanks submissive women.”
“Spanks? As in ‘over the knee bare-bottomed paddlings’?”
“Yes. Exactly. There’s quite a little sub-culture of spanking aficionados, and there’s a lot of meetings arranged for the sole purpose of playing out the fantasy.” I didn’t think I should need to explain this, but given the blank nonplused expression on Reggie’s face, I thought I needed to clarify.
“You don’t have to school me in this. I’m aware of the fetish. What surprises me is that you’d feel the need to seek that kind of adventure outside your relationship.”
“It’s kind of strange, isn’t it?” I admitted, embarrassed to say it.
“You mean to tell me that all the fun we at the estate uncovering your myriad of desires was for nothing? You and Will went happily along ignoring the obvious wealth of sexual variety that you love so much?”
“It’s not that bad, but we don’t really get into dominance and submission. And I’m not sure why. But now, what is it? Three years down the road, whatever it’s been, we’re at this horrible impasse.”
“Enough for you to seek an outside master.”
“He was hardly a master, and this isn’t about mastery, exactly. I think it’s a little softer than what you and I got involved with.”
“Perhaps,” he said. He was looking
at me now, much as he had years before on that very fateful day when Will first brought me to him. His eyes had a way of inspecting me, as if he could read every thought I had, could see pictures of all my desires clearly written in the expression on my face. He always made me shiver when he did this, and I was shivering now.
“So, what is this favor?” Reggie said, as he assumed a colder visage, and a haughtier tone of voice. I expected as much, but it was what I would have to endure.
“Before he left, Will told me that the only penance I could pay was with you. He knows how I don’t want to have anything to do with you again. And I guess he sees my return to you as a gift I could give him that might, in time, prove myself again, and in some measure restore his trust.”
“How intriguing. I didn’t realize that you abhor me so much.”
“I don’t think it’s abhor you exactly, in fact, I don’t abhor you at all, I just had enough of our games.” I nervously fidgeted with my hands
“And so he said you could pay for your offenses by coming to me?”
“He didn’t exactly say that in so many words. It was the only thing he suggested that might have the remotest chance of changing his mind.”
“Makes me judge, jury and…implementer?”
“I guess it does.”
“And you don’t even know whether it will bring the two of you back together?”
“No, I don’t. But I’ll do anything to set things straight with him.”
“Seems Alex, that this was the point when you first came to me. I would help you bring out your desires and accept them, then Will could profit from the treatment. You’re telling me that my methods didn’t really work?”
“They worked, I just got scared again.”
