Origins

I was on Fetlife when Sir collared me, and I talked about it there, but I don’t think I’ve ever told the story here.

One night, Sir was on his way out (night shift or something) and I was sitting at my computer. Sub Brother was across the room on the couch, watching a movie. Sir came up behind me and looped a piece of leather lace (like a leather boot lace) around my neck and tied it. It wasn’t tight, but there wasn’t enough slack to easily pull it off over my head.

He leaned close to me and said, “Don’t take it off.” Then he left – with both me and Sub Brother staring after him with our mouths open.

I looked at Sub Brother with huge question face. He looked at me with, “I don’t know!” face. I spent the next hour debating with Sub Brother and Fetlife friends what this meant… was I collared? Was he going to take it off? What did this mean? We hadn’t talked about collaring. Was he seriously going to collar me with a boot lace??? Was it going to shrink and strangle me if I took a shower? What if he didn’t take it off before morning? What was I supposed to tell people? How would I shower?

It was a bizarre and weirdly anxious night.

Sir came home late – we were still up. I asked him if he was going to take it off for bed, and he told me no. So I slept in it. I slept in a strangely half-conscious state, aware of the feeling of the lace against my skin all night.

The next day he took me for a drive and parked in a parking lot and asked how I felt about the lace. Then he bought me my collar and collared me (for real) once we had a long talk about it and I said that it was something I wanted and we talked about our contract. The lace was his way of… well… partly being sadistic because he liked making me squirm, but more, he wanted me to think about in a real way what it would mean and feel like to be collared and not knowing either way… I guess… what his intentions were, I’d have a clear picture of whether I wanted the collar to be real… or… if I would realize I didn’t want it after all.

That was 2014. We had a year contract. 🙂 I still wear his collar. Our contract is now… open-ended. Sir insists on leaving it open to revision if my circumstances should change. Most of the time I… would be willing to renew for an extended period, but he has laid down that condition. He thought for a while I might meet a nice straight guy someday.

Isn’t he just adorable and naive…

Last night, Sir was going out to have drinks with a friend who was in town. Before he left, he tied a leather boot lace around Sub Brother’s neck…

😀

They’re upstairs talking, now. It’s been 24 hours with the bootlace…
