My master and I used to lay in bed together (naked) and talk together. We would list each other's best characteristics. It was nice because at that moment it was not about sex or control. It was about two individuals who understood and cared for each other.
You know, this struck me as especially beautiful, Misato, since most of the other experiences you shared were so...harsh. It was a real eye opener to help me understand why you stayed in that relationship. What a wonderful thing...

nastywolf - glad you enjoy the thread! I get the same feeling when I read the posts here. *smiles*
