*smiles* yes, I think I'm starting to understand the appeal and it's a wonderful thing, that. You know, I've always struggled with understanding what the domly ones get out of the equation. Yes, there's the rush of knowing that 'my' sub would do anything I ask of him/her, but that couldn't be the whole story. Experiencing the joy and dedication that a sub feeds back to you makes the picture a lot richer, and me feel a lot less guilty about 'taking' so much. That's what it always felt like for me, like I'm taking and taking and trying to find ways to give just a little bit back.

Thank you for sharing, Kate. It's amazing to follow your and Evan's journey. I'm looking forward to the next chapter.
