The Tokyo of our Love was wrecked by the Godzilla of Ego.
He wanted me to hit him with a wooden spoon.
I sat at my monitor and cursed myself for answering an instant message.
Imagining the scene, heating the skin on his back with a spatula while he wept bittersweet tears I was too scared to lean in and taste. The scent of lysol and leather in my nice clean kitchen. I could make him keep his eyes closed while I consulted the manual for scared dominatrices. "Don't look at me! Eyes down! Or feel the sting of my... cheese grater?"
He was cute, I wanted to taste his eyes with mine, breathe in the olive color of his skin. But at what cost?
Dragging him by the collar, would we get thrown out of the ShopRite? "No pets! You are scaring the children!"
The Tokyo of our Love was saved by the Mothra of Second Chances...

My Guardian Angel pulled up in a black Jaguar. "Toujours pari sur Noir..." he smiled and the car chuckled warmly under the hood.
"Where to, Kitten?" his skin glowed like the sky.
"Tokyo, Papito, I'm a big believer in second chances."

Hahaha, I absolutely love this! It's light, and humorous, yet holds the wonderful dark images of domination. Dare I say, a 'cute' read, with excellent word choice. Love the imagery and similes.
Doubt is a nasty little fucker. Tends to take away the chance to do something you really really really want to do. But good thing there's seconds, lol.
That cheese grater bit damn near killed me, lol! I always tell my pet that if he doesn't clean the cheese grater properly, I'll use it on his cojones,
. Would never do that, but it's always sparkling, 
. Anywho, I ramble. Love love this. Hope to see more like it.
Always a fan, and friend,
~S.
