The blow would leave me lying on the ground with a sore jaw and blurred vision. Life had been too good to be realistic. Happiness had wiped away the constant anxiety, my companion ever since the beginning of our therapy. For the first time, I couldn't ask for more. The challenge of a job I was passionate about and a relationship with the woman of my dreams made me feel powerful. Confident. Anything was possible. My imagination was drawing brave future plans. Lina was at the center of them, like a strong, bright flame, which kindled my passion and made me strive for more. The thought of being with someone other than my passionate tigress was meaningless. I had no doubt my boss was the perfect submissive for me even though our relationship was so new. The memory of Lina rising above her pain and distress, offering herself in spite of everything I put her through still gave me chills. She deserved the best and I longed for her to see herself through my eyes and realize how special her surrender was.
