A private little ceremony

On Monday 26th March 2001, in a private "ceremony", I knelt in front of Mistress and we exchanged pledges, making me her slave.

We had already discussed the wordings of our pledges. I'd found one I liked on the internet and modified it for my own use. Tori made up hers from scratch. As such, this ceremony was really just the formalising of a de facto state of affairs between us, but it still hit me emotionally more than I expected.

When I made my pledge I felt my eyes welling up and my throat tightening, and ended up saying the last bit through tears. Afterwards, when Tori said her part, I was so ridged with tension that my hands were locked together and I could not have seperated them, even if I wanted to. This turned out to be fortunate, because when Mistress placed the ear ring in my hand, the palms splayed upwards, locked at the fingers made a nice steady shelf. I stared dumbly at the ear ring she'd placed there (I'd seen it before!) not fully believing that I was here doing this. I imagine it's what people getting married may feel like... "Eek, here I am making this deep and meaningful commitment!"

After Mistress had safely put the earring in the box and placed it aside, we cuddled for a while, and then played. I don't remember too clearly what happened, except it made use of the new rubber ended crop that she'd just bought. Ow... that thing stings!

Mistress, I hereby relinquish the right of ownership over my body and soul, including my bodily functions, to you, Mistress Tori, to be your slave and chattel. As such, I may be put to use and treated in any manner you see fit.

I promise to honor and obey you at all times: and to serve you with honor, dedication and grace.

My body now belongs to you as an object and vessel; to be used in accordance to, and as an instrument of, your will. As such I may at any time and under any circumstances you desire, be made available for use by you or any person as you may see fit.

I will humbly accept any amount of, and any method of, discipline, that does not cause permanent physical or emotional damage that you choose to inflict on me. If I am unable to do so, I will willingly submit to being restrained for this purpose. I accept this willingly and without condition.

If at any time I feel that permanent physical or emotional damage of any kind is being done me, I will communicate this too you in a prompt and respectful manner.

I will surrender my will, spirit, and emotions to your command. I will withhold no part of myself from you.

I will remain loyal to you and will not engage in gossip concerning you or discuss your affairs with others. I belong only to you; and will submit in no manner to any other person(s) without your clear instructions or permission. You alone reign Supreme over me.

Forever striving to make myself worthy of you, I will conduct and present myself at all times so as to make you proud of me.

As your slave, my sole purpose is to serve your needs and desires. It is in this that I find my own fulfillment, and in your pleasure that I find my own happiness.

Mistress. I worship and adore you. To pay homage to you is the greatest privilege that you can bestow on me.

I hear your pledge, and I accept the gift of yourself that you have offered to me. In return, I swear to this:

You have given up your freedom to act, so it is my place to act for you when action is needed. I will stand between you and any who seek to harm you or use you for their own purposes.

You have given up your freedom to choose, so it is my place to ensure that the choices made for you are as right as they can be. I will always have your welfare at the front of my mind when making decisions.

You have given up your freedom of privacy, so it is my place to enforce privacy around us. I will not discuss our affairs with those whom it does not concern, nor will I force you to do so.

You are now mine to cherish, mine to punish.

This earring is a symbol of your status as my beloved slave. Let it be a constant reminder to yourself and to all others that you belong to me.
