...A Moment's Weakness...

I've been playing Mommy to my submissive for a while now. We have our dynamic all set up and it works beautifully, keeping us both happy and satisfied. But there was one day when everything fell apart for just a second... I had to punish him severely after he made a mistake that threatened our relationship. As I brought out the paddle, his tears and broken sobs cut through me like a knife. It felt so wrong, yet it was necessary. Afterward, we both sat in silence, trying to put the pieces back together. How do you keep trust when you've been pushed this far?...
