A trip to New York means many things, but on both occasions that I have been, it has meant a trip to visit Mistress Katya and to present myself as a representative of Mistress Jadis.
On the Thursday evening of my visit, I turned up at the dungeon ready to give an account of myself. I was hoping to wear the harness I had picked up in San Francisco a while back but I couldn't figure out how to get it on. Mistress Katya helped me with that and between the two of us we managed to figure out what really shouldn't be very complicated.
She started off with her much favoured Hello Kitty cane, which was immensely cute, but in these circumstances, the fact that something is cute doesn't mean it can't hurt like nobody's business. It's always hard to tell if on thing hurts more than another, but I can tell you that the after burn on all the strokes I took was long and deep. A stroke would come down hard and it would sting, and a few seconds later a burning sensation would set in.
There was also single tail fun to be had. Mistress Katya loves the singletail (or should I say, the hwhip... it's an inside joke.) So do I for that matter. It looks so much more ferocious that just about anything else. She was right on target with just about every stroke and I wound up with a nice symmetrical pattern on my back.
Of course, as has become traditional by now, she "postmarked" me for return to Mistress Jadis, and I was pierced with 16 needles which let me bleed enough for a large "J" to be written on my back.
Towards the end of our playtime, Mistress Katya told me I would always have a place in New York at her feet whenever I happened to be in town. Hearing her say that Mistress Jadis has made such a good boy and that she is proud to be able to play with me made my heart swell with pride, and sent me on my way satisfied and with the sense that I have something very much worthwhile to offer, a feeling that I don't get to feel as much as I would like.
After my time with Mistress Katya, I had plans to attend Impact, a regular play party in NYC. The irony that I was going to Impact having been pre-impacted was not lost on me.
One of the first people I was introduced to by Elsha, one of my NYC kink friends, was Ms Special K, the girlfriend of the organiser of the night's festivities. She was quite impressed that an Australian had come all the way to Impact, she volunteered to sit on my back whilst I did a few pushups, and we made plans to play a bit later in the evening. I was already in a subbie headspace from my exertions with Mistress Katya and I continued to feel all subbie for the rest of the evening.
After a round of jelly wrestling (in which I did not participate) Ms Special K and I wound up both enjoying a spot of foot worship. She said something very interesting in the process. She said that receiving foot worship made her feel like she was better than me. Now I don't go for female supremacy and I certainly don't believe that I am any less worthy of respect as a human being on accout of being a subbie, but damn it if it didn't turn me on to hear that said!
Later on Elsha also introduced me to Miss Lyss, who it turned out had just had a birthday. Apparently a text was sent to her saying "I've found you a nice Australian subbie to hit for your birthday" or something along those lines. Cool. I was going to be a birthday present for the second time on a trip to New York after giving Mistress Reina a few kicks at my balls on her birthday last year. Perhaps I should change my name to "Birthday Subbie".
Miss Lyss and I didn't properly play that night but there were plenty of opportunities for worship and discussion about what we were both into.
Mistress Katya had e-mailed me before my visit saying she was looking forward to playing with me, because in her view, so many New York subbies were such wimps. Later on Miss Lyss told me that she strongly prefers manly alpha subbies. That night, I managed to give Mistress Katya the non-wimpy outlet she was looking for. My task for Friday night would be to carry myself with dignity and strength in submitting to Miss Lyss.
But that's a story for another day.
