“What’s a life-mate? I’ve heard that term, but don’t know what it means.”
“Think of the connection between Mitch and Mistress Lotte. He’s her full-time submissive and ‘main squeeze,’ but also her assistant in running this place, and (by mutual agreement) in some other things she does. But he definitely has a mind of his own. Though he’s submissive to her, I’ve even heard them argue sometimes. In a word, he’s her ‘life-mate,’ and she is his.”
“Life mating is a kind of D/s marriage, developed and promulgated by a famous Domme named Myrna Stiles. Her idea was that many people, especially busy, prosperous people, would like to have a submissive partner and assistant who provides both business (or institutional) and personal services — like a private, personal secretary who gives sexual benefits on the side. At the same time, many junior persons with submissive tendencies would like to fill their lives and further their careers by attaching themselves and serving such a partner. Mistress Stiles built a successful corporation that specialized in putting such people together, and training them for one another — for that version of an ideal, 24/7, D/s relationship. She trained serious subs for full-time service and submission, and potentially dominant clients to handle, utilize and meet the needs of such submissive partners.”
“Sounds very interesting,” I answered, thinking that this sounded something like my parents’ marriage, though who was Dom was not entirely clear. At home, and with me, Mom was clearly the boss while Dad ran a successful business and paid the bills. He thought of himself as the head of that household, but all the decisions mom cared about came out the way she wanted them.
“So that’s what you have in mind for me?” I asked Lisa.
“That’s thinking too far ahead,” she replied. “Eventually I intend to have a partner like that; but I’m no way ready to choose one, and you’re no way ready to commit to such a relationship. I mean to use you for practice as I learn my trade as a Domme. In the process, you will be getting experience as a 24/7 sub with a lot of outside commitments — to Guild School and to Mistress Lotte’s training.”
“Isn’t that a contradiction in terms?” I asked — a 24/7 sub with his own commitments apart from service to his mistress?”
“Not if she graciously gives him leave to meet them,” Lisa answered. “Nor if that freedom has been written in to the basic contract between them. He then serves his mistress in doing whatever else he has to do; and she is entitled to supervise and punish if he neglects his outside duties, or does them poorly.”
“Very well, Miss Lisa,” I said rising from the bed and dropping to my knees before her. I will be proud and honoured to wear your collar on the terms discussed between us.”
“Excellent,” she said. “We’ll do the formalities tomorrow.”
She leaned over and kissed me on the lips. “Now serve me boy! Show me what you’ve learned about pleasing women, and help me go to sleep. Then you can snuggle up and sleep next to me. But you must not snore or disturb me. And you are forbidden to touch yourself or cum.”
