Kajira Calista, thank you for the response to my question.
And Catalina, thank you for the extended discussion as well.
*********
I have read at least 50 Literotica stories in the BDSM category. [ This is what happens to certain women in vanilla marriages. LOL! ]
But yours is the very first story I have read where the Dom makes a mistake, and admits it.
I realize, of course, that the Literotica stories are primarily supposed to be fantasies. But even so, I find fantasies where the characters are portrayed as believable human beings to be soooo much more appealing than the alternative.
The standard script for most stories is: Dom meets girl and instantly knows exactly what to do, how to manipulate her perfectly, how far to go, etc. The girl may fail or exhibit shortcomings, but never the Dom.
Perhaps the point is to create a mythical character ("Super Dom") - that every guy would like to be, and every girl would like to belong to.
But personally, I wish that more writers experienced in the lifestyle would write stories that portray the Doms as actual human beings.
It tells me a lot about your sense of security and self-worth that you would write this chapter.
Secure, truly self-confident people (whether Doms, or anybody else) acknowledge that they are capable of making mistakes - and admit it when they do.
Congratulations. I am very, very impressed.

Your comment has me grinning ear to ear. It reminds me of feedback that I sent to an author after reading one of his stories here at Lit. (He knows who he is, and if he reads this again, I hope it makes him smile!) Here's what I wrote:catalina_francisco said:He is my number one focus, the most important part of my life, but he is not a God, he is not magical (well sometimes he is ), and at times for various reasons I am not going to be ther perfect slave we both desire, nor is he going to always be 100% the perfect Master...we are human.
