Author's note:
A Soft(er) Female Domination story: the wife unexpectedly takes control and the husband loves every second of it. No whips, no chains. There is some pain, but nothing extreme and it was very much appreciated by the recipient.
This story started when a Lit friend asked for a sample of how storytelling can be done from a male sub perspective. I usually do not turn the tables, so it was fun for me to try. And then the story took over and insisted on being written.
Thank you, S., for the inspiration!
And a huge thank you goes to my editors: Todger, thank you for fixing all the stupid little things that I can't see. Nick, thank you for the big picture perspective, I really appreciate it.

Part 1
"Relax and wait for me."
It was a Friday before a long weekend, nobody was doing much of work, so the boss let us go home early. I called my wife to let her know I will be three hours earlier than expected, but she did not answer. The plan was for her to pick up the kids from school, me come back from work, load the car, and off we go to the lake house she rented for the weekend. A lot of splashing, a lot of biking, maybe a campfire in the evening. Regular summer fun.
When I got home, the house was empty. Everything was packed in the minivan and ready to go, but nobody in sight. Did she already leave for the kids? No, way too early. Then where was she, I wondered.
I tried her number one more time and again got no answer. But a minute later came a text:
"Honey, I know you are home. Could you please do something for me? I left... you will see what I left; it is on the bed in our bedroom. Love, J."
This was strange. She'd never been so cryptic before. Curious, I rushed upstairs.
There was a red envelope on the bed, bright against the white bedding. No name on it, but I assumed it was for me. The note read:
"Darling, for a long time now I wanted us to play a game. But something always came up — kids, work, friends, you name it. When you called today that we had an extra three hours, I thought this was the perfect time to do it.
So, here are the rules:
- Take off your jacket but keep the rest of your work clothes on.
- Look under the bed, there is a box there. Take it out.
- In the box there is a pair of leather handcuffs. Put these on.
- Also on the floor you will see a long cord, it goes all the way to the middle of the bed and is attached to the middle leg there.
- Lie on your back ACROSS the bed, put your phone next to you. Type in "I am done", but don't send it to me yet.
- Tie one end of the cord to the loop on the right handcuff.
- Press the send button on the phone.
- Reach back, take the other end of the rope, thread it through the loop on your left cuff.
- Reach under the pillow. You will find a small lock there.
- There is a loop on the end of the rope. Do you see it? Put the lock through the loop and around the main rope.
- Click the lock.
- Relax and wait for me.
Love you, J."
This was the craziest thing ever! My wife wanted me handcuffed and secured to the bed! The blood rushed to my head, the world was spinning. How! How was this possible?! I was asking her for years for something like this and now it was really happening?! Unexpected short work day or not, she must have planned it beforehand — handcuffs were not something that we just happened to have at the house.
My heart was racing, as if I just finished a marathon.
Breathe. In and out, in and out. Ok, better.
I took my jacket off, put it in the closet, and looked under the bed. Sure enough, there was a small box and a rope, secured around the central leg of the bed.
Take out the cuffs and put them on
. Easier said than done. Do I put them ON my shirt cuffs? No, this did not look right. OK, I rolled up the sleeves, and tried again. Yes, this looked better. The left one went on without a glitch, but I had to struggle with the right one for a bit — getting the buckle closed with just your left hand is not that easy.
Done. I looked at myself in the mirror — black dress pants, white shirt, heavy black leather cuffs. I liked the look. And the feel! Never thought that just getting these on could get me so hard. In the mirror the pants looked visibly too tight for me, even though they fit just right in the morning.
What was the next item on the list? The rope and the phone. I typed the message, threw the phone on the bed, and lay down on my back. Just lying there like that, with my arms over my head, while I still could bring them down, got my heart racing again. What did she have in mind?
One end attached. Lock... should be somewhere under the pillow, OK, here it was — the smallest and the lightest padlock I have ever seen.
Put it through the loop.
STOP! This was wrong! If I locked it then, how was I supposed to send her a text? Right, that is why she said first send, then lock.
Ugh! Nice save. I took the lock out of the loop, sent the text, and put the lock back in. All that was left now was to click it shut. Why were my hands shaking and my palms all sweaty? I could hardly hold the darn thing. And why did it feel like the scariest thing I have ever done in my life?
Don't panic, think!
What was the worst case scenario? She wouldn't get my text, so I would be left helpless on the bed. For how long? Maybe she'd stop by the house on her way to pick up the kids, which would be in about two hours, probably sooner. If she goes directly to the school, it would be more like three hours, and all of them would come home together. Still, she'd probably be the first one to come to our bedroom, because she'd need to change.
So, worst comes to worst, I'd have to spend three hours on my own bed, with my hands over my head. Not too bad, I could just take a nap. And with that comforting thought I pushed the shackle in.
Two sounds merged into one — the click of the padlock and the sound of the door, opening downstairs. She was home.
I closed my eyes, trying to concentrate on the tiniest of the sounds coming from below. Muffled thud of her bag, as she put it on the side table by the door. Jingle of the keys, as she hung them on the key hook. Her soft steps on the creaking floors of the old house — she must have taken her shoes off. Water — she must have been thirsty and poured herself a glass.
Then everything got completely quiet, I could not hear a thing.
Panicked, I open my eyes. She was right there, leaning on the doorframe, looking at me, watching. I have never seen her dressed like this, she looked absolutely stunning!
Black stiletto pumps added at least four inches to her lean frame. Her legs in black stockings went on and on forever. A black corset cinched her waist and pushed her full breasts up. And to finish it all, she was wearing a matching set of see through black lace bra and panties.
I could not breathe. This was my wife?! Mother of my two kids? The girl I met almost 20 years ago?! Not a model, not a pornstar, not even a dancer, but a regular woman who turned no heads rushing through the supermarket to get everything ready for dinner. How did she manage to transform herself into this sex Goddess? Or more like how did I fail to see what was in front of me all these years? Not a shy girl, not an exhausted woman, but an everyman's dream.
But something did change and when I got my eyes up to her face, I realized what that change was. While there was a hurricane going through my mind, she was standing completely still, calmly and confidently looking at me. Confidence, that was the change! That was the magic that lifted her way above my wildest dreams. She, who never even liked to have sex with the lights on, was standing in the sun filled bedroom wearing an outfit right from a porn shoot and it felt right! It felt like this was how things were supposed to be.
I did not know where this newfound confidence came from, but I sure did not want to question it.
"Breathe, baby."
Her voice was soft, as always, but there was a command lurking not too deep underneath all that softness. With a start I realized that I did need to breathe — from the moment I saw her, I neither breathed, nor blinked, afraid that she might disappear as a dream.
"Jenny..."
"It's OK, baby, don't speak, don't think. Just be."
She slowly crossed the room to stand right behind my head.
"Are you comfortable?"
"Yes..."
I was searching for a word to address her. Just "Jenny" did not sound right. Miss? Mistress? Goddess? What do you call your wife at a moment like that??? And then it occurred to me — why not just ask her?
"How... how should I call you?"
The question did not surprise her at all, she was also aware that this was not our usual life.
"Let's try Ms. J, shall we?"
"Of course, Ms. J, we shall", I smiled at her.
She did not answer my smile and it made me nervous again. Why did my mood depend so much on her? I always cared how she felt, but this was different. It was as if she was transmitting emotions right into my head, no words needed, no contact either. One look at her contemplating expression and I was in no mood for any jokes.
She leaned down and kissed me. This upside down kiss felt both wonderful and a bit off, like everything else that day. I felt her tongue asking for entry. She never,
never
did this before! The moment I separated my lips, she wasn't asking anymore, she was taking what was always rightfully hers.
