Despite his best intentions Harry had to work on Thursday, though not a full day. He sent me a text in the afternoon saying, "Your 3 o'clock has just left the building." Uh, oh! I know what that means!
Friday night, Harry decided I needed "help" to get a good night's sleep in preparation for a busy day on Saturday. Saturday night was "Just because."
It wasn't until Monday that we got to pull up the imaginary drawbridge to keep the rest of the world at bay. We'd had a pleasant but tiring day with relatives the previous day, so we slept late and had a leisurely breakfast. Harry was up and dressed first. As I made my way to the bathroom he told me to give him a shout when I had showered and not to bother putting on clothes. I did as I was told and what followed was the longest, most sensual, spanking I have ever had. When Harry patted me to let me know we were done, I couldn't move straight away. My bottom was red and stinging but I was overcome with a feeling of calm and contentment that lasted all day.
Harry cooked a superb dinner that evening (rare fillet of beef with a red wine, cream and mushroom sauce, sautéed potatoes, and red peppers roasted with baby plum tomatoes, in case you're interested!). As he ushered me to my seat, he asked how my bottom was and I replied that it was still a tiny bit tender but I wasn't complaining. He had a quizzical look on his face as we raised our glasses in a "bottoms up!" toast and I said, "No, I don't know how it works, it just does!" He said he'd accepted that a long time ago, he was just wondering if I'd ever want to stop. If he spanked me every day for a month, would I be over it? I'd certainly be glad the month was done and dusted but I'm sure I wouldn't want to go back to life before ttwd, it's part of who I am. Fortunately, Harry wouldn't want to go back either; he loves the changes this dynamic has wrought as much as I do.
He's not working tomorrow. After he kissed me goodbye this morning, he said he'd see me at 5 o'clock. Uh, oh! I know what that means!

Oh Rosie, that sounds like the perfect weekend to me. How lovely.

Yes, it was a great weekend. Sorry yours was so bad, Jan. I hope you're a lot better now.
DeleteLove, Rosie xx
Rosie,
ReplyDeleteYou had me at "drawbridge"....... I love that term as you already know! The lovely dinner sounds wonderful, but more so the delicious spanking. Those are the very best kind. I am going to propose a drawbridge weekend to Jack. It is a term we will use again and again.
Meredith
I'm sure Jack will be delighted with a drawbridge weekend. Enjoy every minute.

Sounds as if you two had a lovely time, Rosie. I also love the picture 'drawbridge' evokes. Hope you're able to pull the drawbridge up at 5 o'clock. ;)
ReplyDeleteHugs and blessings...Cat
We didn't pull up the drawbridge but Harry made sure the curtains and windows were closed!
DeleteRosie xx
You are having entirely too much fun and I'm jealous as all get out.
ReplyDeleteNot really, happy for you.
It was an exceptional week, I don't usually have that much fun!
DeleteRosie xx
Oh absolutely bone meltingly Delish!
ReplyDeleteI'm going to add you on my roll today! I can't believe I missed some posts! I'm terrible!
Minelle, I wish I'd thought of the bone melting description, it was exactly how I felt but the right words were elusive. Thanks for adding me to your blog roll, I'm honoured.

Oh...what a wonderful weekend...I love the term drawbridge and its meaning. I love those special kind of spankings.
ReplyDeletehugs abby
That spanking was the first of its kind, Abby, but I hope it won't be the last, it was certainly special.

Rosie sounds like a wonderful weekend and the drawbridge, excellent. Hope you get the drawbridge up more often for one of those delicious spankings. Wonderful how TTWD works with all of us.
ReplyDeletehugs Lindy
It was a lovely weekend, Harry had been working so hard and we needed some "us" time. One of the great things about ttwd is that we all make it work for us in our own different ways.
DeleteRosie xx
Sounds just the perfect weekend and dinner delicious. Happy for you both.
ReplyDeleteLove,

Thanks, Ronnie, it was just about as perfect as it could be.
DeleteRosie xx
This all sounds delightful, may every weekend be as satisfying as this one!
ReplyDeleteNow I need a 'drawbridge weekend'!!! Thanks for sharing Rosie.
It would be great if every weekend could be like that, though maybe it would lose the special feel. I highly recommend a drawbridge weekend; we usually only manage a day but that is good for reconnecting too.

Rosie: I am so glad that Meredith provided the link to this post as I enjoyed reading it very much. I love the unexpected spankings that can occur because our Men instinctively know it is just what is needed. Some are better than others but the one you describe that left you with an utter feeling of calmness and contentment are the best. I have long since given up on the "why" these work for me, I am just glad that hubby understands that they do and always seems to know when they are needed the most. I have not heard of the term drawbridge day or weekend,but sounds like something I would want to try someday even with our busy schedules!!
ReplyDeleteDrawbridge day came about a few years ago, when Harry and I were invited out to lunch on a day we had set aside for ourselves. I declined, saying we'd had a hard week and planned to pull up the drawbridge and spend the day together; no one in, no one out. I've used the expression ever since.
DeleteI hope your Sir is better now and you've got over your hiccup.
Rosie
Oh, a drawbridge weekend - I love how you put that! Good Lord, we need one of those!! Perhaps when the kids are actually adults? Lol. I think we need to find a way before then.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you had a lovely drawbridge weekend!
