Falling in his Arms

It was her way of saying “Yes.” And it was totally hers. I mean, she’s original, daring, and loves to challenge herself. And this included all that. Moreover, she’s also kink, like me. Therefore, it was unavoidable that such an important moment of our relationship had a touch of it. You know, the whole thing about kneeling and saying some corny quotes is too vanilla for us, boring, ordinary vanilla. That’s why she designed all this “falling in his arms” performance.

It happened like this. One day, she called me to cancel our date for that night. That day, I received an email about a warehouse that might interest me. Just to give you the context: I’m a supplies manager and I was looking for a warehouse near our current facilities. So, I went there and, before I knew, the owner of the warehouse leaves me alone right in the middle of the building. The lights go off, and I’m thinking: “I’m gonna get robbed or worse”.

After a few seconds, the light come back, and I hear my girlfriend’s voice in the warehouse’s speakers. She‘s saying how much she loves me and how long she has dreamed of this moment. Then, something comes down from the ceiling. It’s like a giant ball of yarn. And I wonder if a big cat is going to come inside the warehouse. My girlfriend’s voice on the recording she’s about to prove just how much she’s willing to trust me her life. She asks me to get ready. 

Then, the ball of ropes begins to open, and I can see my girlfriend inside. She looks at me and I know she’s going to fall, and she trusts me to catch her. I focus on grabbing her and preventing her from getting hurt. Finally, she falls right into my arms and kisses me.

I’m trembling. Then, I sight with relief. But I’m the happiest man in the world. Because she’s “falling in his arms”.

This is my Shibari story.
