I played with Lydia for the final time last night. Unless she’s going to retire in the manner of a 70’s rockstar, with endless comeback tours, I’m going to have to adapt to life without her.
Our sessions are usually intense, but this last one was particularly so. Layering sensations is traditionally a big part of our play. Last night in the space of about 30 seconds I was screaming in pain, struggling for oxygen, moaning in orgasm, laughing in relief and crying at the finality of it. Being sweaty, sticky and teary makes for an interesting post session clean up.
She has left me with a lot of memories. I remember her look of concentration when trying to get a needle in just the right place. I remember her professionalism. In hundreds of sessions she was always on time, always prepared and never ever cut corners. I remember her gleeful sadism. She could always channel her inner child playground bully to magical effect. I remember her imagination. Elaborate bondage or interesting predicaments were often the result of ideas she’d dreamed up days earlier. I remember her creativity and the great dynamic we shared. Most of all I remember her laughter. We laughed often together, but the commonest reason for her was my growling or snarling at some particularly sadistic thing she’d done. I might scream or moan in the really intense parts, but it was afterwards, in the quieter moments, that a pinch or a squeeze could trigger a growl from me and a happy laugh from her. I’ll miss that most of all.
Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to curl up on the couch with several stiff drinks and binge watch Buffy Season 2. I feel in the mood for some teenage angst and heartbreak featuring vampires. I’ll leave you with an image of Lydia very much as I remember her. That’s obviously not me with her in the photograph, but it does show her smile and the kind of play we so often enjoyed together.
WHAAAAAAA! paltego! This post made me wanna cry…!
Lydia sounds like a FANTASTIC A+ domme and she is super beautiful to boot. I remember watching her scenes with Euro on Meninpain.com. The dungeon setting was cheesy shit (don’t wanna be critical, had nothing to do with her, just sayin), but she owned it. I was very impressed with her presence. She has an aura, and a tremendous sense of confidence that even comes through on screen.
(Euro was great, too, as usual.)
Regarding your growl, laughter, etc: I’m sure you know this, but all Tops want to know they are having an impact, and I know your expressions delighted her and inspired her to higher heights with you.
lots of love and support for paltego and Lydia.
Thanks Miss Margo. I was pretty sad writing it, but life goes on. I’m happy that I had the chance to play with her as much as I did.
It’s a shame she didn’t shoot more for kink.com. I never really like the settings or outfits they used, but it was fun to watch her at work from a different perspective!

Hi
I’ve been reading your blog for quite a while. Too bad about Lydia, a while back I was a client of hers and always enjoyed my time with her.
I can recommend Mistress Matisse if your are looking for another Mistress. She is also a “gleeful sadist”
Dave
Thanks for thoughts and dropping by to comment. Glad you also had a chance to play with Lydia.
I’d love to play with Mistress Matisse, but unfortunately she’s not taking on any new clients. When I found out Lydia was retiring I even asked her to put in a word for me with Matisse, but no dice. From what I’ve read of her I think we’d have fun together, so that’s a shame.

That’s too bad, I guess I can put in a good word the next time I see her.
Dave
Thanks! I’d appreciate a good word 🙂

I spoke with Mistress Matisse. Give her a ring and tell her Dave mentioned you. Also get Lydia to vouch for you.
Have fun.
Thanks Dave! I’ll give her a shout. I’ve been taking a bit of a break from play after my last session with Lydia, but I’ll start getting the kinky itch again soon no doubt!
