On Becoming Real...

By the 3^rd day of my visit to Terry he had been spanked both by me and another Domme friend of mine, flogged, bound, CBT-ed, put through his paces for obedience training, and collared.

So Friday we took a bit of a break for some vanilla things and to talk a bit about what we had done so far. During that afternoon Terry said “I finally feel real.” I understood what he meant. One’s first real time session has a way of changing your perspective on the world forever. In addition, though I had known how sincere his loyalty and devotion were since we began, there were some out in the wider world who felt the need to cast aspersions because he had not been through any real time ordeals. He took great pride in knowing no one could say that anymore.

Though he had the collar, I felt something more would be nice to commemorate the occasion. I thought about it for a short while. What do you give a bunny who has just become real? A brainwave hit, I made a phone call, and off we went to the book store. I was very lucky, there was only one copy of the book I wanted in all of Cookeville. I sent Terry off to play in the Science Fiction section while I found it and made my purchase. Once the clerk rang it up I wrote a quick inscription on the title page and went to present it to my bunny. He got very excited, and a little misty.

That night we had a very special story time. No pins, no plug. He curled up against my shoulder where he could see the pictures while I read him The Velveteen Rabbit.

The story turned out to be perfect for his transformation, the toy who first becomes real to the one who loves him, the doubt of the other “rabbits”, and then finally a magic lady with red hair and a “wand” that makes the bunny into a real live rabbit.

My bunny cried a little, and I did, too. I kissed his little nose and said goodnight.
