Whenever I come to the end of a book I feel great joy.
And a touch of sadness.
Another journey has ended.
The characters who have shadowed my days and whispered their dark secrets as I sleep, will soon be memories. Their naughty adventures and scandalous behavior will be exposed; their antics and debauched lives made public.
And the inevitable reviews will be left.
I have learned to live with them. The good and the bad. Elizabeth (from Elizabeth’s Education) was lately referred to as “depraved”. Good Heavens. Depraved? Perhaps she is – or I am.
And a reviewer wrote of The Billionaire’s Daughter (which has been wonderfully successful) “I couldn’t wait for it to end,” and thought my Hero, Dante, was mean.
Ah well. Elizabeth’s story was also called magical, and Dante has been referred to as A Dream Dominant.
We each have a different perspective, a different history, a different moral compass. What is depraved for one is deliciously decadent for another.
When I view some of the images online proclaimed as Dominance and submission, I am appalled.
But just as often I am entranced, mesmerized by the beauty the camera has caught, the submissive kneeling, the contentment and love apparent.
So it is in our personal relationships – especially D/s. There is much that encompasses the compatibility of two like minded souls. It can be a frustrating, difficult, nail biting search, but when there is the ‘Click’ – the ‘Really?’ moment, when the heart beats a little faster at the mere promise – and the butterflies threaten to break from their cocoon – we sigh and smile.
Ours is a different path – but when I think back to my blog about the Nature Of Things – the balance we all seek – perhaps we are the normal ones. While our relationships may appear to be more complicated, there is simplicity in the complication. With a compatible partner the power struggles are non-existent – there is clarity – roles are clearly defined.
And – the sex is – well —!!!
Depending upon the day it is a blessing or a curse. Today it is a blessing.
Wonderful post. I for one though Elizabeth was entrancing and her Sir…..well, I wouldn’t send him away. I loved the way The Billionaire’s Daughter was put in her place and then treasured. Yes, I have been book stalking you 🙂
You just made my November. Thank you! Stalkers like you are most welcome!
Book stalking. Love it. I have book stalked. This is a beautiful post. One day I will be able to offer more on the topic. It is like nothing else I have felt in my life and I know there is so much deeper one can go, just with the physical aspect and what not.
This is a Book Stalker Friendly Blog. 🙂
I thought I had been in love a couple of times, and then I met a true blue Dominant. Nothing even came close. I wrote a blog some time back about the fine lines between being in love, being in lust and the question that still lingers. Was it really love, or what is that his prowess was such that I fell in love with that. Matters not. What matters is I must have it again. I do hope you will be fortunate enough to walk down that path.
Me too. It’s a journey right?
A journey with long pauses, but no end.
I read something interesting in another bloggers’ blog–Miss Constantine I think is her name. Nothing in life is wasted. Everything gets you to where you are at now and where you are going. You must pass through every stage of it. And I agree, the journey never ends. Even after we die, the journey goes on.
One must learn to live without regret and treasure each day. Each experience is a lesson – I keep wondering when school will be out, but of course we will be in life’s classroom until – well – until we’re not. And who knows what comes after.
If you have read any of my previous blogs you may recall my feelings about having lived in Merry Olde England, and how I feel I am writing a diary whenever I pen novels from that time. It’s what inspired Deja Vu. But yes – life to far too precious to waste, or to consider any moment, wasted.
I went to hit the link to your blog and hit the unfollow button by accident.
Previous blogs or previous posts?
I will check out Deja Vu. Do you not still live in England? I have a soft spot in my heart for the UK. I like it there. I felt at home when I went there, until I had to talk. lol
Maybe you could send me a link? (thank you)
Sent link and more info to your email.
Thank you. I am on my way to class, but I will check it out later tonight.
Thank you
