Finally. I had just gotten home from work, taken a shower and smoked a bowl, as is my end of day ritual. I poked my head into the office to say hi to my wife as she finished working from home, then walked back into the living room. I turned on Youtube on the TV and sat down in my chair to let my mind wander for a while. A workweek in construction is never easy on the body, but this week had been a lot more physical than usual, constantly being asked to move our workspaces back and forth across the jobsite. Friday afternoon was finally upon me, and I could really use the long weekend to zone out and recover.
It was at that moment I noticed my wife bringing her arms over my head, then pressing a leather collar to the front of my neck. Immediately I was under her spell. I mean, not literally, but that's the way we agreed to play our games. All right, then, no rest for the weary. I bent my head forward so she could bring the length of the collar into the buckle, and felt it gently tighten around my neck. She hooked her index finger into the ring on the front and tugged without saying a word. I stood up and followed her into our bedroom.
"Sit on the edge of the bed," she said in a commanding but playful tone. I began to obey.
"Wait! Get naked first." I chuckled to myself as I took off my shirt, then removed my socks, then shorts, then underwear. Only the collar was left on me, or so I thought.
"Your wedding ring too."
"What? Why?" She had never asked that before.
"Because right now you're not my husband, you're my slave." Holy shit! This was a new turn of events. We had played these games before, usually taking turns dominating the other; but I had always felt like when it was her turn to top me, instead of prioritizing her own desires, she would be more concerned with making sure she never went too far with me. This always felt a little awkward for me, because the fun for me was in being used by her for her own amusement.
In front of me, however, was a woman who clearly had different plans, both for the evening and for how this version of our game would play out from now on. I took my ring off and gave it to her. She looked at me with a loving smile, through her long black hair she had just straightened, her cheeks seeming to become rosy as she spoke. Wearing a nice shirt and yoga pants, she had mastered the art of looking professional for virtual clients while also feeling perfectly comfortable in the house.
"Good boy. Now sit on the edge of the bed." I sat down, almost too impatient to see where this was going. "Reach your hands forward," and I swung my arms up in an entranced fashion. She wrapped a padded cuff around the left wrist, then did the right as my left hand stayed reaching out. "Bring your arms down and place your hands behind your back." I obeyed her, and as she brought the rings on the cuffs together, I heard a *click*. Not the click of a carabiner clip, that I could undo myself if I needed to, but a heavy duty click of a padlock being locked, and felt a key pulled out of its hole. I really am her slave tonight.
