Coongratulations!! Good going too! Got any favourites?

[Alisa]

Well.. The reluctant dom was pretty good. It was interesting, a little sad at parts, sex that makes you take a double take... ;). I had never really thought about a 24/7 Dom/Sub relationship but like I said... Made me take a double take.
