Lana was lying in bed with a pillow under her head and a blanket covering her body when she woke up. It was early morning, and Luke was nowhere to be seen. She got up slowly and walked into the bathroom. The mirror above the sink reflected her face at her, but it seemed like someone else entirely. Her eyes were wide open, and there was no doubt that she had just experienced something extraordinary. She smiled at herself, but it did not reach her eyes. She walked into the shower and turned on the water. The hot steam filled the bathroom as she stood under the liquid stream for several minutes without moving. She wrapped herself in a towel when she got out and walked back into the bedroom. She pulled out the clothes in her overnight bag, a simple blouse, jeans, undergarments, and sneakers. She looked at herself in the mirror again as she brushed her long blonde hair. Her eyes were still wide open, but this time she could feel a sense of calmness coming over her body. It was as if something had changed inside her overnight; something had broken free of its cage and started roaming freely through her mind. She felt she was in control again instead of fighting against herself. She felt like a new person who could finally start living and stop hiding from her life. "This is how I'll explain it to my husband," she thought. She would tell him she had been feeling trapped for a long time. She felt like the walls were closing around her and would live the rest of her life in misery if she didn't change things. She didn't want that for herself or him. They both deserved to be happy and exploring this side of her would bring her happiness.
Just before leaving, Lana gathered all her belongings and looked back at the room where Luke opened her eyes to her new life. She took a deep breath and left the room, closing the door behind her. She didn't know what would happen next but knew she was ready for it.
She arrived at her house at 5:45 AM and found her husband waiting for her. His demeanor was calm, relaxed, and collected, as usual.
"Hey honey, I'm home!" Lana greeted him cheerfully.
"Hi babe, you're looking great! You must have had a fun night," he replied, kissing her cheek.
"Yeah, we had a lot of fun. I hope you don't mind me telling you about it. I have a lot to say." Lana said.
"Yes, of course. Baby, you know I want you to be happy." Rick responded.
They sat down together and ate breakfast. Lana told him about meeting Luke, her submissive nature, and finally realizing what she had been struggling with all her life. She described to Rick how Luke helped her see the light at the end of the tunnel. Everything came pouring out of her, and they talked for hours. When they finally stopped talking, it was midday. Both of them were exhausted. Neither knew what their future would hold, but they agreed to try to move forward with Lana becoming Luke's submissive. At least temporarily. Their marriage was their highest priority, and they decided that if Lana's exploration into BDSM ever began to be at odds with their relationship, she would stop. If either party decided the arrangement was not working, they would discuss it immediately. The rules were laid out clearly between them.
As far as Rick was concerned, this was a temporary solution that might lead to a permanent situation. He was okay with whatever decision Lana made because he trusted her implicitly. As much as Rick hated to admit it, he needed to let go. He had tried everything else and hoped this was the answer.
After dinner, Rick and Lana watched TV. Lana sat quietly and reflected on all of the changes happening within her. She felt excited yet nervous about starting her journey into submission. Lana had no idea where it would take her, but she was willing to follow wherever it led her. She called Luke but was unable to reach him. She left a message asking Luke to call her back. After hanging up the phone, she curled up in Rick's lap and fell asleep watching television. She slept peacefully, dreaming of Luke fucking her brains out.
The following day, Lana woke up and went to the bathroom. She took a long shower, letting the hot water run down her body. She felt so relaxed and happy; she started singing at the top of her lungs. Rick came in with coffee for her and smiled when he saw her singing in the shower.
"Good morning, baby," he said, handing her the coffee cup.
"Morning," Lana said with a smile. She took a sip of her coffee and then reached out for Rick. She grabbed his shirt and pulled him close to her, kissing him passionately on the lips. Rick kissed back passionately as he ran his fingers through Lana's wet hair. The two of them stood there kissing for several minutes before breaking apart.
"I love you," Lana said to Rick.
"I love you too," Rick replied with a smile. He took her coffee out of her hand and set it down on the counter next to him, then reached behind Lana's neck and pulled her closer. The two of them kissed passionately again as they returned to the bedroom.
Rick threw Lana down onto the bed. She giggled as he climbed over her, kissing her neck and shoulders. They rolled around for several minutes, enjoying each other's company, until Rick sat up and pulled off his shirt. Lana grinned and rolled over to sit on the edge of the bed. She unbuttoned Rick's pants, then pulled them off along with his underwear. They stood there naked, smiling at each other. Lana wrapped her arms around his neck as they kissed passionately for several minutes before breaking apart again. Rick reached down and picked Lana up, throwing her onto the bed. He climbed on top of her, laughing as she giggled and wrapped her legs around his waist. They kissed again, and Rick slowly pushed inside of her. They both moaned at the feeling. He started moving slowly, his hands on either side of Lana's head as he leaned down to kiss her neck.
Rick moved faster, thrusting harder into Lana as she clung to him. He kept kissing her neck while he fucked her hard. Suddenly, Lana cried out and arched her back, pushing her hips upward against him. She screamed out loud, gripping tightly to Rick's forearms. Lana tensed, biting her lower lip and shutting her eyes. She held it briefly before releasing an intense moan that shook her body. Lana shivered uncontrollably, moaning softly as Rick continued to fuck her. Finally, after several seconds, she could feel Rick's cock pulse as a moan escaped his lips, his cum spurting deep inside of her. Rick's pace slowed, and he gently caressed Lana's sides.
Lana lifted her head to look at him. "Wow, that was incredible," she whispered.
"I think we both needed that." Rick chuckled.
Lana laughed nervously and nodded her head. "Me too."
The two of them lay there for several minutes catching their breath. Lana scooted closer to Rick and snuggled up against his chest. She closed her eyes, basking in the warmth radiating from him. She couldn't believe how wonderful it felt to be in his arms.
"So, are you ready?" Rick asked, running his fingertips across her arm.
"Ready? For what?" Lana questioned sleepily.
"Are you ready to meet Luke again? Have you spoken with him?" Rick prodded.
"No...no, I haven't. But yes, I am ready." Lana answered with excitement.
"Well, why don't you get dressed, and I'll make breakfast. Then we can go shopping. Sound good?" Rick suggested.
"Sounds perfect. Thank you, sweetie." Lana said happily.
Lana only took a few minutes to dress and leave the bedroom. She put on a pair of black leggings and a pink t-shirt. She tied her hair in a ponytail and slipped on tennis shoes. She carried a large purse slung over her shoulder as she walked downstairs. Lana met Rick in the kitchen, and they sat to eat breakfast.
"You know, I've never really understood the whole 'submission' thing," Rick admitted as they finished eating.
"Why do you say that?" Lana asked curiously.
"Because I always figured that if you were truly submissive, you'd submit to anything your partner asks. Like, even if something makes you uncomfortable or unhappy, you should accept and deal with it." Rick explained.
"That's exactly right. That's what being submissive means to me. It doesn't mean I'm weak or stupid. I just understand myself better now than I used to," Lana replied confidently.
"It sounds like you learned more about yourself that night," Rick observed.
Lana shrugged her shoulders. "Maybe I did. Maybe I just realized I wasn't living my true life before."
"What does that mean?" Rick asked.
"For most of my adult years, I was afraid of trying new things. Afraid of taking chances and stepping outside of my comfort zone." Lana paused momentarily, thinking about all the times she had avoided certain situations because she feared failure and rejection. "Now, I'm doing what feels natural for me. What comes naturally to me," she added.
Rick nodded his head. "I guess you're right."
"Do you want me to tell you about that night?" Lana asked hesitantly.
Rick hesitated for a minute, wondering whether he wanted to hear all the details of her sexual experience with Luke. He didn't know Luke or know what kind of man he was.
"Is it graphic?" he asked cautiously.
Lana looked at him and smiled. "Not very. Just a little bit. And besides, it's part of our history now. We need to talk about it sometime soon."
"Okay, sure..." Rick replied reluctantly. He sighed heavily, knowing full well what he agreed to. "Let's finish eating first, okay?" he offered.
Lana smiled and nodded her head. After they finished breakfast, Lana left the table and walked to the sink to rinse their plates. Once done washing dishes, Lana dried her hands and turned to face Rick. She bent down and kissed him on the lips before sitting down again.
"All right, here goes nothing," she giggled.

Later that day, Lana attempted to call Luke again and was able to reach him this time.
"Hello, Sir," Lana spoke over her cell phone. "I called because I would like to meet with you again."
"Hello, young lady," Luke replied. "I didn't expect to hear from you again. I thought our arrangement was for one time only?"
"After our session, I came to many realizations, and I hoped we could discuss you taking me on as your submissive. I've discussed this with my husband and have his support." Lana explained.
"You're asking me to take you on as my submissive?" Luke asked incredulously. "How do you envision that working?"
"I was hoping we could discuss that as well."
"When were you hoping to discuss this?" Luke asked.
