Chapter 8: Becoming Sammi
As the weeks rolled by, Sammi discovered more deeply just how beautifully natural it felt to surrender fully to Cath. Every moment spent in Cath's arms was thrillingly right, and Sammi adored how effortlessly Cath took the lead, confidently guiding her through a newfound intimacy that fulfilled her in ways she'd never imagined.
Yet, despite this bliss, a persistent question lingered, whispering softly in moments of quiet reflection: Is this who she had always been meant to become? It felt so deeply right—but so unfamiliar, so far from what she’d expected her life to be.
On a crisp autumn afternoon, Sammi found herself sitting cross-legged on their bed, staring thoughtfully out the window. Her mind drifted back over her past—her childhood as Sam, the awkward teenage years, and her adult life, struggling silently to fit into a mold of masculinity that had never truly belonged to her.
Why had it always felt uncomfortable, almost painful, to try and be "man enough"? And why did she only now feel liberated, safe, and fulfilled as a woman—a woman who joyfully surrendered herself in love, entirely and willingly?
She barely noticed when Cath quietly entered the bedroom, her gentle presence filling the room with warmth. Cath approached softly, kneeling on the bed behind Sammi, wrapping strong, comforting arms around her waist.
"Deep thoughts again?" Cath whispered affectionately, pressing a tender kiss against Sammi’s shoulder.
Sammi leaned into the embrace, smiling softly. "Can't seem to help it these days."
Cath’s voice was soothing, patient. "Want to share what's on your mind?"
Sammi hesitated briefly, then sighed deeply, turning to look into Cath’s gentle eyes. "I keep thinking about who I was. Who society expected me to be, as Sam. It never made sense—being a 'man,' being tough, dominant, in control. I always felt… like I was wearing a costume."
Cath nodded patiently, waiting quietly for her to continue.
Sammi smiled shyly, looking down at their entwined fingers. "But as Sammi, with you, it's all so clear. Being yours, letting go, feeling safe being vulnerable… it’s perfect. But I was never prepared for this. Society didn’t give me any clues, no roadmap to becoming myself."
Cath brushed a gentle thumb across Sammi’s knuckles, her voice tender yet firm. "But here you are, Sammi. You found your own way. That’s incredibly brave."
Sammi laughed softly, shaking her head. "Brave? Sometimes I feel more confused than brave. Happy—but still trying to make sense of everything. Especially how easily I’ve embraced being…"
Cath raised an eyebrow playfully. "Being a total bottom?"
Sammi blushed deeply, nodding shyly, but laughing softly. "Exactly. Being with you feels incredible. And I love how strong and protective you are. It’s just… society never said it was okay to be this way, especially as someone who lived as a guy. What if I'm still doing something wrong?"
Cath cupped Sammi’s face lovingly, gently guiding her gaze upward to meet hers. Her voice was steady, sincere. "You're not doing anything wrong. There’s no rulebook for how we love, Sammy, or for who we become. Being a bottom doesn’t make you weak or wrong—it makes you strong enough to trust me fully. It means you're brave enough to embrace exactly who you are."
Sammi’s eyes filled with grateful tears, heart swelling with love and relief. "You always know exactly what to say."
Cath smiled softly, gently brushing tears from Sammi’s cheeks. "That’s because I know you. And who you are—who you truly are—is beautiful, Sammy. You’ve always been you; you just needed space and safety to discover it."
Sammi sighed deeply, leaning gratefully into Cath’s embrace, finally feeling peace settle deep within her soul. "So this was always my journey?"
Cath kissed her forehead gently, murmuring softly, "I think so. And I'm honored to walk beside you every step of the way."
As Sammi nestled comfortably into Cath’s embrace, warmth, love, and certainty filled her heart. Yes, her path had been winding and confusing, but every step had led her precisely to this moment—safe, loved, and fully herself.
For now, with Cath beside her, she knew she’d found exactly where she belonged.
