The chimes of his cell phone's alarm woke Dan in the morning. He was confused at first and uncertain as to where he was, but soon realized he was on the couch in their living room. The night's events flooded back to him and he bolted from the couch and ran to the basement. His wife, Kelly, was still down there, strapped into the contraption he had built. He approached her quietly, feeling very guilty about leaving her there all night.
She was either sleeping or passed out, and when he began unstrapping and unlocking her from the bench her body just hung limply. She barely roused as he carried her upstairs to their room. She seemed all right, just extremely tired. He laid her on the bed and covered her with blankets. Her eyes opened briefly but he could tell that she wasn't truly awake. He wished he could stay, but he had to get to work. He hopped in the shower and got dressed before heading out the door.
Dan was worried about Kelly when he first got to work, but as soon as he got into his daily routine the worry faded from his mind. Near the end of the day, Mr. Kendrick called him into his office, and he was reminded again of the state he had left his wife in.
"I just received confirmation of your promotion, Henderson," Mr. Kendrick said as he offered Dan a seat. "You'll be working with others from all around the globe on special projects for various clients. Each of you will be assigned a piece of a program to write and then you'll compile it together when you're all finished. The company has decided that it would be easier instead of relocating the best programmers to one area, to allow them to work from home so that they can work when they need to. Essentially you'll be getting paid to do a job, no matter how long it takes you."
"So some jobs may take a lot of time," Dan stated with a grimace.
"Yes, but I'm sure with your expertise most of them won't be too difficult for you to finish early," Mr. Kendrick assured him. "Don't worry, I'm sure you'll have plenty of free time to spend with that lovely wife of yours," he said with a wink.
Dan squirmed in his seat at the mention of Kelly and decided to broach something that had been bothering him. "Mr. Kendrick, I wanted to make sure that you keep what happened last night just between us. If you can do that I can guarantee that we'd love to have you come over to play with us again."
Mr. Kendrick grinned widely, "I understand completely, Henderson. I wouldn't want last night's activities getting back to my wife any more than you want it getting around, and I don't want to jeopardize a return visit. Your wife is simply amazing, her ass is the tightest I've ever stuck my dick in, and she is the sluttiest whore I've ever met. You are one lucky man."
Dan felt some pride at his boss's praise of Kelly, but was about to correct him about calling her a whore, until he realized that he had traded her sexual favors to secure his promotion, essentially making him a pimp and her a whore. "Thank you, sir, I am very lucky."
Mr. Kendrick allowed Dan to leave work early so he could pack up his desk, and gave him the rest of the week off to set up everything he'd need to work from home. He rushed home in a daze. He couldn't wait to tell Kelly the news. She didn't even know that the possibility of a promotion existed or that she had helped him secure it.
When he got home, Kelly was busy in the kitchen making dinner as if nothing had happened. She was surprised that he was home a little early, but greeted him as she normally would. He did notice that she seemed to be walking a bit gingerly, and instead of her normal tight fitting jeans she wore a pair of sweatpants.
"I'm glad you're home early, dear," Kelly said as she moved about the kitchen. "I wanted to talk to you about some realizations I had last night and this morning."
"Before we talk about that," he said hurriedly, "I have something to tell you that may help explain a few things. I just got a raise and a promotion!"
Kelly turned to truly look at him for the first time since he walked in the door. Her face was hard to read, but she he thought he didn't see anger. "Is that what last night was about? You pimped me out to your boss to get a promotion?"
"Yes," Dan said, trying to sound confident.
"Oh God," Kelly moaned, as she hung her head and her whole body seemed to shudder as she gripped the kitchen counter. Dan ran around the counter and hugged her tight attempting to console her. For a moment he felt terrible, certain that he had ruined his marriage, but then he realized she wasn't hanging her head in shame, or sobbing as he first thought. Her breath was coming hard and as he hugged her she ground her crotch against his leg as she shuddered even more.
"You're not mad," he stated.
"God, no! I've been so horny thinking about last night and waiting for you to come home," she said as she continued to grind against him. "The thought that you used me to get a promotion put me over the edge, baby. I just came when you said that."
Dan smiled as he hugged her. "Good, because I kind of promised Mr. Kensington that we could do it again."
"That's kind of what I wanted to talk to you about," she said.
"Don't tell me you want to stop," he said as he slowly sneaked his hand into the waistband on her sweatpants. She didn't resist and he was pleased to find she wasn't wearing any panties. He ran his hand over her ass and cringed as he felt some of the welts still on her ass. She moaned a little as he found his way lower and began stroking her dripping wet sex.
"No, I don't want to stop," she said as she began to breathe heavily again. "I want it to be that way all the time."
"You want to be restrained and beaten?" he asked, confused. While he enjoyed that sort of thing on occasion, he wasn't sure he wanted to make it an everyday occurrence.
"No, I like that, but that's not what I mean. I want you to control me, I want you to tell me what to do, all the time, not just during sex," she admitted.
"What do you mean? How much control do you want me to have?"
"I want to be your slave, baby," she whispered. "I want you to own me, to treat me like your property." She was getting more excited as she spoke and was coming close to another orgasm.
Dan was excited too. The thought of his beautiful wife doing everything that he asked was highly appealing to him. He pushed three fingers into her snatch and they easily sank in. "What would the limits be?" he asked. "Could I do whatever I wanted to you?"
She shuddered as she came on his hand as it played inside her. "I would only ask for a few assurances. I love you more than anything and would hate to be parted from you, so I would ask that you keep me as yours. You can loan me out, pimp my ass on the streets, let others play with me, whatever strikes your fancy, but I must always belong to you."
"I would never get rid of you, Kelly, I love you too." He meant what he said; he loved her even more now that she was willing to give herself over to him completely. "What else?" he asked.
"I don't want to be permanently disfigured or injured," she said. "You can beat me, cause me pain, whatever you want, just don't do anything that would lead to a hospital stay."
Dan's mind spun with the possibilities. "What about tattoos, piercings...?"
"Yes, whatever you want."
"Why?" Dan asked. "What do you get out of it?"
"Freedom," she responded. "I feel a great amount of stress when I make decisions. Even deciding what's for dinner stresses me out. This morning I realized I was able to enjoy myself last night because I had no choice in what was happening. All I had was the sensation, the experience, and that gave me the freedom to enjoy it without guilt or second-guessing myself over a choice."
