What He Takes
He takes my wrists and pins them above my head.
He takes my ass over and over, knowing I wince with the soreness of so much use.
He takes my throat in his hand, and he watches my eyes as he squeezes.
He takes my waist and shifts me to the inside of the sidewalk to keep me safe.
He takes my tears. He takes the ones he makes with his hands or his paddle, and he takes the ones that come from outside us. They are all his.
He takes my chin in his hand as he fills my little mouth.
He takes my hand in his as we dance, twirling me around the living room.
He takes my desire and shows me how desperate I can become. He pushes a little more and then a little more, until the need is so overwhelming that I can’t form words.
He takes my dog for long walks, because her needs are also my needs.
He takes my hair in his fist, forcing my eyes to watch his as his hand strikes my face.
He takes my questions and considers them carefully—what he likes, what he needs, what he thinks is best for me and for us.
He takes my needs as his own.
He takes my fears and joys and successes, too.
He takes time out of his day to say he’s thinking of me. To send pictures. To make me smile.
He takes care of me.
He takes little pieces of me and makes them his. More and more every day.
And I give.
I give.
Lot of people don’t get what they mean when they say “the Sub has the power.” (Case in point: ask a Sub who doesn’t have a partner or who’s Dom isn’t very interested just how “powerful” they feel.)
Nor do they always understand what’s meant by “gift” when they say “Submission is a gift.”
But everyone should understand what’s meant when someone says a kink relationship is still a relationship!
And the real secret to power-exchange-kink relationships? Yes, the Sub gives. And the Dom also gives! A Sub can only give as much as their Dom gives. And vice versa.
Just can’t say how lovely @cherishedproperty post is. That’s just a beautiful piece of writing.
