-
- The room is stark, a montage of blacks and browns and warm colors and
- warm scents of sex and love and passion. Light sifts in through the
- high windows and scatters across the floor; shadows fall and ripple
- like leaves. Patches of sunlight warm my skin.
-
- She stands before me , beautiful and strong.
- I kneel before her, bound, with my head high.
-
- She caresses my hair and I lean into it, nuzzling her. Then she slips
- the blindfold over my head and tightens it.
-
- And she whispers to me, casting a spell over me. I sink into it, into
- her power, surrendering to it, giving in as my gift of trust. As
- her gift of trust, she accepts this.
-
- Her voice is slow, simple, but with undertones of seduction and
- danger; it slips into my mind like the soft underbelly of a tarantula
- in my hand.

-
- Shhh. Relax. Relax into it.
-
- Inhale deeply. Hold it for a moment, then exhale and feel all the
- tension go with it. Again. Inhale. Hold it. And exhale.
-
- There now. I bet that feels better. Mmm? Good. Very good.
-
- You see? Resisting it will no no good for either of us, really. I'm
- gonna take you to a space you can't find alone. I'm gonna lead you
- out of the here and now and into a timeless place without a place
- inside of both our heads. Both our heads because we're gonna build it
- together, you and me. I'm gonna lead you in and follow you in and
- we'll leave time and space and here and now behind and we're gonna
- just live the moment and each moment will be our time and space and
- here and now.
-
- There are choices in this life. All our lives are choices one after
- the other and again and over and continually. But we can't fight our
- choices. We have to accept each choice into our souls and make it a
- part of us. We have to live each choice. To live it, we have to make
- these choices and submit to each choice. You have chosen this.
- Submit to your choice and let it wash over you like the baptismal
- waters. Let it bear you up ad carry you along. Live the experience.
- Live the moment.
-
- I have submitted, too. I have chosen to lead you into this place and
- follow you into the space we are making. We are magic and we are
- creating magic.
-
- We are creating magic and building ritual space and in this space you
- will be sacrificed and reborn and I will be sacrificed and reborn on
- the altar of our choices and our submission to our choices.
-
- I am taking you to a place you cannot reach without me. I will lead
- you in and follow you in to a place I cannot reach without you. We
- are building it together and with each moment we make it larger and
- stronger until the power of our magic and our choices and the power of
- us as two who are one carries us off like a roaring current in a river
- spiriting us over the rapids and thru the land our souls inhabit ...
- to soar free, bound together.
-
- To do this, you have to give me something of yourself, but I give you
- something of myself in return and together we become one and travel to
- the place we are going.
-
- Together we become the magic and the moment.
-
- And so we begin.

- In the room I can hear the sound of leather sliding on itself and metal
- clattering softly. In my darkness, I wait. Expectant.
