Gone too long

I can tell that my summer has been too busy when I see how long it's been since I posted here. I'm glad school has started back so that I can get some rest!

There have been a couple of interesting developments.

1) The ex-dom actually invited me to dinner when he next passes thru town. Of course, he told me it would be this past Sunday night and, as expected, no call, no message, no dinner. He hasn't changed one bit. To be honest, I'm not interested in pursuing a relationship or anything else. What I really want to do is find out why he has now decided that he wants to see me again, after over 3 years of silence. This should be interesting, if it ever happens. We'll see.

2) I've found a play partner and have glorious bruises! He is someone I've known for years and is part of the local group I'm a part of. He had moved away several years ago and then moved back during the last year. We both began participating in the local group again around the same time last year.

He recently approached me wondering if I would like to learn about rope bondage with him. Neither of us had much experience with it and both of us had expressed a desire to learn more about it. I agreed. I requested some ground rules, including that it wasn't to be a "scene", but just a trial and error session. My role was to be the "crash test dummy". He is waaayyyy younger than me and I know to be very careful to remain emotionally detached. He is a heart-hurt waiting to happen.

The first time was just as I had requested. No clothing was removed. It was strictly a "let's see if this works" type of session. But, it was so nice! He was very careful to maintain the "no sexual content" request. We both enjoyed it so much that we agreed to more the next week.

The next session, we both felt that some clothing must be removed in order to try the ties that we wanted. Eventually, we moved to scenes at local play parties. I have to say it has been absolutely wonderful! Yes, it is "scenes" now, not just "let's learn" sessions.

There seems to be an unexpected connection developing. More than scenes are happening. Lots of long phone calls. Sharing movie and dinners. Driving to find the best location to view the full moon. Meeting at the park for local concerts on summer evenings. And the scenes are unbelievable! And even with the enormous age difference, he seems to want to spend time with me, including at everyday, public venues. It doesn't seem to matter to him that others might wonder at the fact that he is so much younger than me.

There has been no discussion of a formal relationship. We are both contented with just enjoying each other's company and, of course, the playing. Lord have mercy, the playing.... We have a situation that would be very difficult to overcome if we wanted something more formal.

And he thinks I'm beautiful :)
