I was coming home after a long day's work. As I'm driving through the usual traffic getting out of the city, I started to think on many things in my life, some good, some not so much. I had moved back to my home town after almost 20 years, (during those, I had only visited twice) to help take care of my elderly mother and my special needs sisters. My wife, or ex-wife I might say, swore to never come back (even though she's also from here and has family) couldn't understand or handle the fact that my life and the Universe did not revolve around her. I finally had enough and left, a few weeks later I was served with the divorce papers, I didn't sign them, maybe a little bit of spite, and also the fact that she was also suing for sole custody of our son, as expected. I spoke with my lawyer and counter sued for a joint custody, stating that I was the only one with a job and could provide for his needs.
I was basically sitting in the car feeling a little pissed and with a bit of self pity. This was not a good state of mind to be driving in, since it was a bit distracting. I finally managed to make it home, made sure that mom was feeling better, and my sisters were settled in for the night. Once everything was set, I poured myself 2 fingers of my favorite scotch over ice, loosened my tie and sat down on the couch to watch the TV. The usual talking heads were ranting about this and that, telling everyone how the previous administration had almost destroyed the country and how long it would take to recover. The usual partisan politics that have always come and gone.
I felt my phone vibrate in my pocket saying I had gotten a text. At first I thought it was Samantha, my soon to be ex, so I ignored it. A few minutes later it buzzed again, with a sigh I pulled it out of my pocket and saw who it was, Alex, I smiled and texted back. She had been a very good friend over the years and had more or less kept in touch; but it wasn't until recently that we had talked a bit more frequently. We were really good friends since we met in our early twenties, and now in our forties we found that we were a lot more compatible than we had realized back in the day.
I thought back to those times when we would hang out together, sometimes just listening to music, talking nonsense; and yes, we did hook up a few times with some hot make out sessions, but never really crossed the line to become friends with benefits or lovers. With all the shit that was going on in my personal life, I felt that talking to her eased my stress a bit, and lightened my mood a lot. As we talked, there was something in the back of my mind, seeing the way she typed her responses that had me thinking a few ungentlemanly things. Back in the day during one of our make out sessions I decided to test a theory I had about her, I had just come out of the shower and saw her standing in the doorway of my room; I'd had an Alpha mentality since the age of sixteen and well, never really had a chance to explore that side of my personality until in out twenties.
During those make out sessions in my room, there was one that stood out. I had come up behind her and with a lack of subtlety I spun her around to face me, grabbed the back of her head and kissed her hard, when I broke the kiss, I pulled her into the room and practically ripped her blouse and bra off (to this day, I'm still surprised that her clothes didn't tear or shred with the force I used to remove them). I could see the fear in her eyes, but also the excitement, she had a nervous smile on her lips and a heated flush of arousal on her skin. I was desperately trying to control myself since I knew that both of us were not prepared to take our relationship to the next level; we had the mutual attraction, but we were not really ready to go all the way. I know it sounds weird that two people in their twenties would not jump into bed and rut like animals when they had the chance, but I figured a while back that sex could also destroy a great relationship, so I pretty much kept it to heavy petting, making out and the only skin to skin contact was above the waist. (I know, a lot of you are saying "what a loser" but believe me, a bit of chivalry at the right time can open a lot of future opportunities). Her reaction confirmed what I had suspected, she was a submissive by nature, even though she had always carried herself as a strong, independent woman.
We continued seeing each other and hanging out until I found a job that took me overseas for a few years, during that time we kinda lost contact for a few years. It wasn't until about ten years ago that through Social Media we kinda found each other again. By this time I was married and had a son but we kept on talking and just a bit of our usual flirting, then the flirting got a bit more serious, (I know, it's cheating, but Samantha wasn't really fulfilling her duties as a wife either), we kept on talking, flirting, and exchanging pics and videos. At one point we got caught by Samantha, we orchestrated a bad breakup, but continued to chat when ever possible.
During our chats we were exploring the D/s aspect of our relationship and letting my Alpha mentality come forward, I could see she was really getting into it, and actually enjoyed this form of play. We kept on exploring our fantasies like that, it was a form of outlet for me, since my wife had been pretty much browbeating me and manipulating every situation into her advantage. Until finally I couldn't take it any more, I packed my things, grabbed my passport and went home, that was 3 months ago.
It took some time, but thanks to my old high school contacts, some college and a few business friends, I managed to find a decent job with semi regular hours. It helped that I also had a few properties that I took charge of from my parents and was getting an average market rent from and that made all the difference with my mother's and sisters' finances. It turn out that the family members that were "taking care" of them were also under renting the properties and keeping close to half of the money for themselves. I was feeling a bit less stressed over the situation that I had found when I came back home. I made plans to meet up with Alex over the weekend turned off the TV and went to bed.
