I met Jordan years ago when she was just starting to explore the local fetish club scene. We shared an interesting and intense co-bottoming experience in which we were restrained face-to-face and beset by two dommes (actually, I was beset by two separate dommes while she was beset by another -- there was a lot of besetting that night). She eventually disappeared from the club scene only to reappear in my life years later at TES Fest. Bo, of Sovereign House fame, was very excited about some young girl he'd just met and thought was very cool so he had to introduce her to the family. Color me surprised when it turned out to be Jordan. We fell into a very easy rapport and now she's part of the family and collared by Skye. The world just keeps getting smaller.

Jordan is smart, strong, witty, sweet, and brave and I like her very much. So when she told Michele that she would love to start shooting with her, and that she would love to do rope on my site, I was thrilled and honored by the trust she showed in me. She'd done small bondage performances with Skye but this was the first time she was specifically doing rope to be featured on a Web site. Like I said: she's brave.

This set is actually the realization -- projected onto her -- of something that I've always wanted someone to do to me: suspension beneath the air conditioning units on the roof of the Body Archive

I was a little nervous about tying her because Skye was sitting in the wings watching. True, Skye was one of the people who encouraged my first rope topping scene, but she's also one of my rope tops and I wanted to honor all the play she and I have had and show her how much I'd learned from her. I wanted to share a fun and intense rope experience with Jordan. I didn't want to look bad. More importantly, I didn't want my rope to look or feel bad! I think I didn't have to worry so much. Skye's presence turned out to be supportive and uplifting and Jordan got into the spirit of fun and adventure that I was trying to express.

This set wasn't about me topping Jordan, or usurping Skye's authority over her. This was about me sharing my love of rope and and my particular love of connection with a friend who was open to both. Hopefully we'll be able to share more rope adventures soon.
