*Day 2: Planning
"Hey Dean, once you get the kitchen cleaned up, come meet me in the office?"
"Sure Sir," Dean replied, a layer of nerves clear in his voice.
"Hey, baby, it's okay," He comforted, going behind Dean and wrapping him in a hug from behind. "I know this is going to be a hard conversation to have, but know that whatever we discuss, I am always here to help and support you and nothing you do or say could ever make me abandon you. Understand?"
Dean gave a shaky nod. "I understand Chris, I trust you."
"Good boy. I will see you in a few minutes."
*In the office
"Hi sir," dean greeted as he walked in and took a seat across from Chris.
"hello my wonderful pet," he smiled. "Now, I have a few ideas about how I want the scene to go and I will share those momentarily, but first, have you given any thought on how it should go?"
"well, you asked me yesterday if I wanted more sexual or physical torment. As much as I would love this to feel good, at least for a while, I think it needs to be more physical."
"Why is that?" Chris asked, although he was sure he already knew.
"Because you want me to get past what he did, and it was all physical. I was rarely allowed any sexual pleasure with him, that's why I never have a problem holding off for you when we play because a few minutes is nothing compared to the weeks he would make me hold out. Physically though, we both know I can take pain, but your body can only take so much."
"I had a feeling that would be your answer. Though I didn't know about the sexual side, I understand where you're coming from. Do you have any ideas on how the scene should go, or do you want me to decide that? I will keep it mostly physical if that's what you need, I don't have any problem with that."
"I don't know Chris, sir," he glanced up, knowing Chris didn't mind being called by his real name but typically in these situations, these discussions, it was Sir or Master.
"It's okay Dean. I know this is hard, so just do whatever is comfortable. No punishments will come from this discussion."
"Okay, umm. I am tempted to say you should do the same scene he did. I know you will be more careful and not go to the extent he did, because then I am really facing my fears. But I worry that it will be a flashback and I don't know if I would even think to safeword…" he started to panic.
"Dean… Dean, love… look at me," he did. "Good boy. I think you were about to have another flashback." He nodded. "That answers your next request, I will not do the same scene. I may decide to use a flogger or cane or bondage or even a hogtie, but I will not do exactly as he did."
"Thank you, sir."
"you're welcome pet. Now do you have any true ideas or suggestions for the scene or anything you absolutely do not want me to do. I know we have your hard limits, but things like flogging you are okay with typically. Do you want to make anything a hard limit just for this one scene? Anything at all."
"No sir keep my normal limits. Maybe you could use something besides a cane though? Maybe a belt or paddle? I'm not against the cane entirely, just since that was the majority of my punishment from him, maybe you should use something else, or even just use the cane for a brief time, but please don't make it the focus."
"I understand Dean. I will keep that in mind. Anything else?"
"no sir, just please be careful of my back if you put me in the same position… I trust you and I know you won't put me in danger, but just to ease my mind."
"Never, Dean. I was going to do one position at a time. I don't think it's a good idea to suspend you in a hogtie, not for this scene. Maybe others in the future, but I don't want to do anything to cause a flashback."
"thank you, Chris. I don't have any other ideas. I want to leave the rest up to you, if that's okay? I think I need the elements of suspense and surprise."
"Yes, of course. I think this conversation is done then. Let's continue our day as normal and I will think out a scene. Tomorrow we will have the scene and hopefully put your fears to rest."
"Yes sir. I love you."
"I love you too, always!" Chris moved over to sit on dean's lap to lean in for a slow, loving kiss. "you feel so good baby! Why don't you go make a grocery list for us, so we can get out of the house for a bit. We can go out to lunch then grocery shopping and have a relaxing afternoon."
"that sounds wonderful. Umm Sir, what about my chores. Not that I mind, but I really haven't done them in 2 days and I don't want to be in trouble for not saying something. I definitely take movies and shopping and relaxing over chores any day, just so you know."
"See, that's why you're my good boy. No chores. This is a relaxing week for us. Sure, I want you to cook and clean up and do the laundry before we hit the road next week, but I don't want you to stress over it. If something doesn't get done this week, outside of food and laundry, don't worry about it. Now, go make the grocery list and think of a few lunch options. I will be down in a few minutes. Oh, Dean,"
"Yes?"
"Tonight, once we get back from the store, I want to start the stricter protocol, not because you did anything wrong but because I want to help you get into the right mindset."
"Sir yes sir!" he saluted, walking out the door. Chris couldn't help but laugh! While Dean went to do that, Chris was busy quickly writing out ideas for their big scene. What implements to use. What type of bondage. Blindfolded or not. Any sexual components or purely physical.
After about 15 minutes, Dean yelled up that he was done with the list and that he knew the perfect place to eat. Chris put his own list away and went off to join Dean for the afternoon.
The two decided to go to Happy Joe's pizza to enjoy the best taco pizza ever!
As lunch went on and they went to the store, Chris started slipping in small orders, things that seem normal to the outsider looking in. Can I have another drink. Help throw the trash away. Let me drive. Then, go get milk while I get the bread. Push the cart. Load the cart while I pay… This was just to ease into the stricter protocol so that it wasn't like flipping a light switch playful to strict in a matter of seconds.
In the car, heading home from the grocery store. "Dean, when we get back to the house I will help you take in the groceries, but you will put them away. When you are done, I want you to come find me in the living room."
"yes Master."
*in the living room
"master," Dean spoke gently as he entered the room. "I'm finished."
"good boy. Come kneel in front of me, facing me." Yes Master. "you will remain on the floor tonight, either sitting or kneeling near me. The only exception is dinner. I will repeat that this is not a punishment, this is just because I want you to focus on relaxing and letting yourself go to your submissive side so that tomorrow can go as smoothly as possible."
"Yes Master, I understand,"
