I was relaxed, happy, I hadn't made a mistake. This was not intimidating at all. He had managed to make me feel completely safe and comfortable after only a few minutes. I smiled at Him as I sat down to remove my shoes and socks. I was very aware of His almost casual perusal. It had been a long drive in the middle of the hot Texas summer. I wished nothing more than to relax a few minutes and jump into a nice refreshing bath.
     His softly spoken words lifting me out of my thoughts as He said... "Do you want to relax a bit before your bath." I smiled both impressed and amused that He had read my thoughts so clearly. I nodded that I did indeed wish to relax a few minutes before jumping into the tub. We sat quietly talking, my mind in a hundred different places as I wondered what this long weekend would bring.
     He motioned me to come to sit beside Him. I did not hesitate, there was no reason to. He was in control of the situation, there was no doubt in His mind or my own. I sat beside Him and looked up into His eyes. For long minutes He did nothing more than look into my eyes. His manner so sure, so relaxed as He said, "There is something that has to be said before we go on." I listened intently, not at all sure what He was referring to.  "Do you belong to Me?" He asked softly. At my nod He continued with an almost imperceptible nod. "Good, then know that you do indeed belong to Me, you will do as I say without question. You have only two choices, the first one being it is your choice to enter this relationship. The second one being if you choose to end it. I ask one last time is this what you want?"
     I smiled brilliantly, there was no doubt in my mind that it was indeed what I wanted. I answered clearly without reservation, "Yes Sir, it is what I want." A slight smile curved His sensuous lips. "Good, then it's time for your bath. Go on now get cleaned up and we shall go out for dinner."
I felt almost giddy, it was so easy to give myself to Him. What I felt was free, as strange as that may sound I felt more free than I had in many years.
     I stood up flashing Him another smile, He swatted me gently with a soft chuckle. "Take your time and enjoy your bath little one." I nodded happily as I strolled into the bathroom feeling i was about to learn the meaning of my existence. I'm sure He heard me laugh softly to myself at my own flight of fancy. I did not feel any need to hide my feelings. Not from me, and I don't think I could have hidden them from Him even if I had wanted to.
     I laid back in the warm bath thinking. While I was relaxed and secure, the anticipation of what was to come had my tummy doing flip flops. I have heard submissives say how they get butterflies in their tummies from their Dom. Not me, gosh no, I had eagles soaring!
     He had laughed softly at one time when I told Him about my eagles. It was when we were talking about me coming to meet Him. He had smiled and said, "Yes, and those eagles will deliver you straight to My door." Know what? He was right as usual.
The journey continues....
