Chapter 13

The doctor smiled and said, “Fine, remember that you are a strong woman, Cassie and you’re reclaiming your life.” She turned and smiled at me, her eyes seeming to strip away my flesh to peer into my soul. “John, you have no idea how much your support means to your mother.” She nodded to Mom to begin again. “You were speaking of whether or not you came to love Darren Jones.”

Mom licked her lips and again said, “I suppose it was love ... maybe not the love a wife has for her husband, at least not exactly.” Mom’s brow wrinkled as she concentrated on the right words. “Maybe it was that type of love, but with more layers ... more complicated. In some ways, maybe Joseph is right. I was like a bitch in heat -- a dog that would do anything to please her master.”

“You’re talking about taking pleasure from being submissive to him?” asked Doctor Deschane.

Mom shivered and said. “Yes. I’ve always been sort of submissive ... raised that way to be subservient to my husband and I never minded that, but...” Again, her eyes got a little dreamy as she paused to consider her experiences. “But, Darren showed me how more satisfying it was when he made being sexually submissive a part of my life. I never dreamed how much a person could get pleasure from giving pleasure to someone else. My god, I had orgasms just from sucking his cock!” Mom’s face turned redder as she gave me a sidelong glance to see how I reacted and her hand squeezed mine tightly.
