Know when to fold 'em

Might I suggest a game of cards? How about a game that includes 4 implements, an eager bottom, and a playful Dom?

Folks, I played "Round Robin" and it broke me. Broke me. Me, the girl who doesn't cry (okay, once...but I was drunk).

Here's how you play:

1. The top or Dom chooses 4 implements (with or without the sub's approval). In my case? The belt, a paddle, a hairbrush and...a crop. Not my choice, mind you;

2. The sub or bottom chooses two cards from a deck (minus Aces and jokers). Each card is face value or Jack is 11, Queen is 12, and King is 13. The kicker is that pesky 2 card. It DOUBLES the other card. So the highest one can achieve is 26;

3. Rotate through the implements, delivering the number of swats as determined by the cards;

4. Continue until the deck is gone.

We skipped part 4.

We did not continue until the deck was gone. What happened to our valiant heroine? Well, friends, she drew a 2 and a King (26) for the crop. The thought of 26 with a crop on an already well-spanked bottom was enough to drive me to tears.

Have I told you that I don't cry? I don't. Like hardly ever (except that one time).

But there they were: tears springing to my eyes, a tremble in my lips, and a sincere desire to call a halt. Which I didn't do. I didn't say, "let's stop." I didn't use my safeword. He just knew.

And for that I am thankful.

Lest you think I have a softie Dom, you must know that I still got the belt. Hard. And then he strung me up by my toes.

Kidding.
