The Doctor's Oversight

I'm a doctor in my late thirties who loves exploring different aspects of Dominance and submission with my partner. We have established rules to maintain the framework of our relationship, and one such rule is about punctuality for our sessions, I am expected to be ready at the agreed time without fail. However, there was this one instance when everything seemed to spiral out of control. It happened a few weeks ago. My little had been waiting eagerly for me to start our session as usual. Instead of being in her room dressed and prepared as instructed, she found me still in my office, going through some important documents that needed attention right away. She was disappointed and felt let down by this oversight on my part. It wasn't just a casual tardiness; it was a clear breach of the respect we have for each other's boundaries. That day, I broke one of our cardinal rules, being prompt and present in spirit as well as body when called upon to fulfill our roleplay dynamics. The guilt and remorse over this small but significant lapse has lingered with me ever since. It was more than just missing a deadline or forgetting an appointment; it went against the core trust we've built within our dynamic. It's not about the physical acts or sexual elements of our relationship, but about these emotional connections and commitments to each other’s expectations that make this lifestyle meaningful for us.
