A New Match.
Tuesday
I was kind of hoping you would message me first.
8:03 p.m. H:
I was working.
8:03 p.m. B:
I should have been too. But there wasn’t a lot for me to do today.
8:04 p.m. B:
That makes it sound like I have a bad work ethic. But it’s my business.
8:05 p.m. B:
That sounds worse actually…
8:06 p.m. B:
Sorry, little nervous, I guess.
9:20 p.m. H:
Are you new?
9:21 p.m. B:
Yeah, actually. You’re my first match.
9:22 p.m. H:
You’ve just had the tour, then?
9:23 p.m. B:
Sort of. I left right after I filled out the paperwork. Too much newness for one day. You know?
9:25 p.m. H:
I suppose.
9:25 p.m. B:
Have you been a member for long?
9:27 p.m. H:
A few months.
9:28 p.m. B:
So, you’re kind of new too.
9:29 p.m. H:
Kind of.
9:30 p.m. B:
Do you like it?
Wednesday
1:05 a.m. H:
What are you looking for?
6:31 a.m. B:
Hell of a question to wake up to.
6:31 a.m. B:
Let me get a coffee in me and I’ll let you know anything you want.
6:52 a.m. B:
One coffee down. Starting to feel human.
7:15 a.m. B:
I’m looking to explore a side of myself that I haven’t had the opportunity to yet.
Past partners always just had certain… expectations of me.
I tried to live up to them, but it never felt genuine.
Like I was putting on an act. I wanted to try kink clubs, but I was worried about my reputation or personal business being monitored and shared with the public.
And I didn’t really have the time or energy to focus on it anyway.
But recently my circumstances changed, and well, now I guess I have the time.
My friend told me about The Veil and so here I am.
8:20 a.m. B:
Maybe that was oversharing.
9:14 a.m. B:
In simple terms, I want to explore being submissive. I want you to take the lead. I want you to have expectations of me based on our wants and desires and not appearances or reputations. Does that make sense?
11:22 a.m. B:
Did you mean like certain kinks?
11:40 a.m. B:
I would say I’m down to try anything at least once, but after reading some of the questions on the signup form, I think maybe not anything.
11:41 a.m. B:
But most things. Until I find what I like, if you’re willing to try being with someone who’s not that experienced in BDSM stuff.
8:05 p.m. H:
Your past partners expected you not to be submissive because you’re tall and muscular?
8:06 p.m. B:
I thought this was supposed to be anonymous.
8:07 p.m. H:
It is. I don’t know who you are, but I wasn’t vague in my preferences, so I have a general idea of what you look like, since we matched.
8:07 p.m. H:
And it makes sense. I’m intrigued by you, B. I’d like to see if we’re compatible. We can discuss what you’re interested in trying and go from there.
8:08 p.m. B:
Oh, that makes sense. So, you really put your type as big submissive men?
8:09 p.m. H:
Something like that. What did you put in yours?
8:10 p.m. B:
I left that section blank.
Thursday
12:57 a.m. H:
Why?
6:32 a.m. B:
Because it doesn’t matter to me what you look like. I don’t care about gender or appearance as much as finding a connection that works.
7:25 a.m. B:
If you did want to tell me any details, though [eyes emoji]
7:40 a.m. B:
I really don’t mind what you look like. I’m just trying to form a mental image of you.
8:02 p.m. H:
What if I’m not what you expect?
9:13 p.m. B:
Sorry, dinner with my ma. Just got home. I’m guessing you usually finish work at 8?
9:13 p.m. B:
I don’t expect you to look like anything.
9:23 p.m. H:
Have you been with a man before?
9:24 p.m. B:
Are you asking because you are a man?
9:25 p.m. H:
I thought you didn’t care.
9:25 p.m. B:
I don’t.
9:27 p.m. B:
I just want to know if I should refer to you as Sir or Madam.
9:29 p.m. H:
Sir.
9:30 p.m. B:
Yes, Sir.
9:56 p.m. H:
Tell me what you want to try.
10:00 p.m. B:
I want to try being told what to do. Clear rules. Clear expectations. I don’t want to do anything public yet, maybe not ever. Just something private for us.
10:05 p.m. B:
I’ve spent a lot of my life being in control of myself and others. But lately I feel aimless. I need control and order, but I want it to come from someone else.
10:07 p.m. B:
Was that too intense? Sorry.
10:34 p.m. H:
I can give that to you.
10:35 p.m. B:
When?
10:37 p.m. H:
Tomorrow night.
10:38 p.m. B:
Yes, Sir.
10:40 p.m. H:
I have one condition. Completely non-negotiable.
10:40 p.m. B:
What is it?
10:41 p.m. H:
You have to be blindfolded before I get there. And you can’t take it off until after I leave.
10:42 p.m. B:
For every time or just this one?
10:43 p.m. H:
Every time.
10:45 p.m. B:
Yes, Sir.
10:47 p.m. H:
Are you looking for something sexual or purely kink?
10:48 p.m. B:
Either. Both?
10:49 p.m. H:
Preferences?
10:50 p.m. B:
I’m vers.
10:51 p.m. H:
Toys?
10:51 p.m. B:
Yes please.
10:53 p.m. H:
Do you have a safe word?
10:54 p.m. B:
I was thinking we could use the traffic light system?
10:55 p.m. H:
Good.
10:56 p.m. B:
I’m looking forward to it.
Friday
6:32 a.m. B:
What time should I get there?
6:47 a.m. H:
11:30. A Shadow will take you to a private room. The blindfold will be on the bed, along with something else for you to use.
6:49 a.m. B:
What should I wear?
6:52 a.m. H:
It doesn’t matter. You’ll take it off as soon as you get to the private room. Use what you find on the bed, and then be naked and kneeling on the rug, hands on your thighs. Don’t move from there. Don’t take the blindfold off.
6:53 a.m. B:
Yes, Sir.
6:54 a.m. H:
And B?
6:54 a.m. B:
Yes?
6:55 a.m. H:
You’re not to touch yourself while you wait for me.
6:55 a.m. B:
Yes, Sir.
11:25 p.m. B:
About to head in. I guess I won’t have my phone inside, but I’ll see you shortly [blushing smile emoji]
