June and Henry had been married for six years and it was going on seven now. June was sitting on the recliner thinking when Henry came into the living room. He watched her for several minutes and then said, "June, you are so deep in thought that I don't even think you knew what was going on around you. What are you thinking about that has you so thoughtful?"
"Henry, I have been trying to figure out what to get you for Christmas. We have just about everything that we could want. We go on vacations wherever we want no matter how remote or exclusive. I just can't figure out what I could get for you that would be personal and special?"
"June, I have an idea. We both go over to Literotica and read erotic stories there. In fact, I know that we both read BDSM and fetish stories so since we are on vacation from after Thanksgiving until New Years Day why don't we do this. The first person will have one week to decide what they want to do and then the next week we be theirs to dominate the other person. They would give a present each day on the second week to use however they wish. Then it would be the other person's turn. They would take one week to decide what to do and the following week they would give their gifts and dominate. What do you think?"
"Hmm, that sounds like a very interesting idea but I want some precautions taken. There would be no permanent damage, by which I mean no scars, tattoos or piercings. There would be no underage people involved in the play and no bathroom games. I think it might be a good idea to have safe words also."
"I would agree to that. In fact, I would insist upon the safe words since we aren't experienced in this and wouldn't want any unintentional damage." Reaching into his checkbook, he gave June his Visa card and said, "This is a new card. We will use this to get our 'presents'. Since the card has a two thousand dollar limit, half will be for you to use and half will be for me to use."
"I will need to do some research so that I know what I would want to get. I would want to make this special for the both of us. I am going to put the card on the computer desk. That way we will know where it is when we need it. I will keep a private list so that I know that I don't go over the thousand-dollar limit. I have so many ideas going through my head that I know that this will be a special holiday season. I do have a suggestion though that might make it easier for both of us. The next time we are reading stories at Literotica, why don't we send each other a copy of the links to three stories, which have elements in them that turn us on? When we send the link to the other person list one of two things in the story that turn you on. This will give us assurance that we are doing at least something that you will like."
"I like that suggestion as long as they aren't used verbatim but to trigger ideas on what might work. We would definitely want this to be enjoyable for both of us." The following day, June went to Literotica and pulled a couple of stories from her favorite authors and sent them with the lists that she had suggested. Then she went to some of the BDSM websites that she had found looking for ideas that she could use on Henry that would definitely turn him on and yet be safe. She was glad that she made the suggestion of the lists since there was so much out there and even though she wanted to fulfill some of her dome fantasies, she still wanted to make sure that some of his were filled also.
Henry also decided to send a couple of stories June's way with the list. There was so much written in the stories that he wanted to say, 'Do it exactly this way,' but knew that he would probably have more fun if he let June fill in the blanks with her own fantasies instead of dictating how he wanted everything. "I just hope that she goes far enough." Henry said to himself.
During the following week, many packages started to arrive. June's curiosity started to rise more and more. She knew that any one of these packages might be for her surprise week and although very curious she knew she would enjoy the time better if she waited for Henry to reveal the surprise in his own way. June and Henry both noticed that although their sex was still very vanilla that there was an excitement in the air and a lot of anticipation for what was to come.
The night before June's week was to start, Henry called her to him, "June, I need to make sure that you still want to go through with this experiment."
"Oh, yes, Henry, I still want to do this. It seems to me that we are both more excited than we have been in a long time and I am very curious as to what will happen."
"Okay, I just need to know your safe word then."
"Silly me, I thought I gave it to you already. My safe word is going to be 'Ruben'."
"I want to add one more word for the both of us. This word will allow you to slow things down if things get to be too much. That word is 'Yellow'. Since my time starts in the morning, I have some instructions for you to follow first thing. When you take your shower in the morning, I want you to make sure that you shave yourself entirely. I do not want to find any hair on your body except your head. After your shower, you will find your first present of the day on the bed. I want you to follow the instructions which are with the present exactly." Henry watched June as he gave his instructions and enjoyed seeing the bloom of a blush grow on her cheeks as she realized that she would have to shave her pussy.

Since Henry always woke at least an hour before June got out of bed, he went through his plans while eating breakfast and thinking of alternative plans in case one scenario didn't pan out. He wanted this experiment to work and tried to think of all the things, which could happen. When he was done eating he went to his desk and finished writing the Christmas stocking card for June and got the small decorated box out of his desk drawer. He soon heard June moving around and when he knew that she was in the bathroom, he placed the box and the Christmas stocking card on the bed. He then decided to wait in the den while reading the newspaper. "Good," he thought, "looks like the week has just begun. Let's see how well she can behave."
June took a long leisurely bath in peach-scented bath oils, washed her hair until it was shining and took care of her other daily bathroom routine. At the same time she wondered if the next few weeks would really make a difference in their marriage. "Well, I'm going to do what I can to make things work. Anything would be better than the way things have been." She thought to herself as she went back into the bedroom. She was wondering what she should wear when she saw a small box and a Christmas stocking card. Smiling she opened the card and read the following:
June,
This Christmas stocking is just part of your present for the day. I want you to put on only what you find in the box, get your breakfast and then meet me in the den for your inspection. You will get the second half of your present later today. Hurry now, I expect you in the den in one hour.
