Author's note: This story may appear to contain non-consent and blackmail elements in the beginning but is essentially a tale of a Rubenesque dominant woman drawing a closeted submissive man out of his shell and helping him embrace this side of his sexuality through her love.

You stand from the chair with a tired moan and stretch your rigid muscles after a long day spent at the desk. I watch your eyes as they blink away the sleepy spell that had threatened to overcome you mere minutes ago. But I know you better than that. I know you are not the person to leave your task at hand unfinished, such a perfectionist you are.
Look at that tightly bound tie! It is Friday night, a long holiday weekend ahead of us. There is barely anyone left at the office and you still observe the dress code, why? Would it be such a sin to loosen that knot, just a little bit. Or is it perhaps that you enjoy the feel of the silk around your neck, keeping you in check, a constant reminder of where you are, what you are?
I have been wondering for a long time now, lurking around you, gathering all the small signs and I am still not sure. Are you growing aware of your needs, of the amazing potential of your heart? Or still only indulging in what you believe to be a world of forbidden fantasy, a dream of guilty pleasures bought in sleazy motel rooms by people you equally despise, envy and admire?
I am not sure yet. I doubt if you know. But by the end of this weekend we shall both see, my love.

You chat with Janice from accounting while the elevator descends into the parking lot. Your eyes that looked so very tired a few minutes ago sparkle with interest, shifting to the curve of her cleavage from her flirting smile. Her engagement ring barely shows as she throws back her hair, twirling a golden lock around her finger with each giggle. She is the type of woman you go after. The type of woman that keeps hurting you over and over again.
My cell goes off as the elevator stops at the bottom of the office building. Max keeps it short and sweet, as always.
"Set. Enjoy your weekend." he hangs up before I have a chance to thank him. Good old Max, he knows I won't be ungrateful anyway.
I walk to my car and catch a glimpse of his red pick up driving off; make another phone call, the girls will survive a Friday night without me. I take my time, never quite letting you out of the corner of my eye, watch you reluctantly say good night to the cool blond. Her fiancΓ© is there to pick her up. I can almost hear your heart dropping from the other end of the parking lot, standing there on your own, quietly praying for the moment to pass while they share an intimate welcome kiss. His passion is possessive, a blatant show for the Friday night office guy with the dark tie. Watch the assault of her lips closely, don't turn away, don't squirm in discomfort, he puts it on just for you. For you and everyone else to see that Janice is taken. The dazed expression on her face, the silent whisper that is only for his ears to hear confirms that even to you. Taken. Happily.
"Let's get out of here babe." Even you must hear the triumphant rumble in his voice.
I get in my car and watch in the mirror as you do the same. I listen intently as you try to start the engine, once, twice. It dies every time. You get out of the silver Ford with a frustrated frown on your handsome face, open the hood and look inside. I admire your bottom as it sways back and forth in the dark suit pants. You look so conservative, so orderly, even from behind. Five minutes pass before you start searching for your cell phone.
It is in my pocket, dear. Old habits rise easily in crowded elevators. I hope you don't mind.
I allow you one more round of crawling into your car and searching again under the seats before pulling up next to you in the almost empty parking lot.
"Hello. Is there a problem?" I ask with a friendly smile.
You get out of the car, studying my face with an odd expression. Somewhat familiar, isn't it? But you can't quite place the chubby girl with the wire framed glasses in her blue little Fiat.
"I guess, my car broke down and I can't find my cell phone." you admit finally with a tired sigh. It has been a long week, you had been working hard, it has softened your reserve somewhat. I had chosen wisely.
"Well, I don't know much about cars, but you are welcome to borrow my cell."
I fumble with my purse, giving you time to mumble how it is not necessary, how you really don't mean to impose and finally to thank me as I hand it over to you through the window.
The little "Goodbye" sign appears as soon as you push the first button to dial. It is my spare one. I had to keep it from recharging for over four days to get it this close to complete dying. Judging by the devastated and guilty expression on your face it was well worth the patience.
"I'm sorry, seems everything I touch today breaks down."
I smile. You are so adorable when embarrassed. Too bad you are so damn good at your job, always on guard, always up to date, rarely late for a meeting. I would have enjoyed to see a lot more of that slight blush gracing your cheeks over the last year.
"Oh, don't worry. It was already beeping its last breath when I got the call in the elevator before. I guess the most I can offer to help you out is a ride. Where are you headed?"
It takes surprisingly little convincing to get you into my car. What is a favor among colleagues after all? That much you have worked out already, I can see it in your eyes.
The small talk flows easily while we drive south east. No plans for Friday night? You truly deserve a break. I watch you rub your face and cover a yawn with your hands quite unsuccessfully.
"Not an everyday compliment." I counter with a teasing smile.
You mumble sorry again, some excuse about a long week with a tired smile.
We aren't even in my world yet but I can feel the power already shifting. Do you notice the handsome and successful lawyer turning suddenly shy? It is not you at the wheel, is it? Not you in control of the car, the situation.
I know you long for this feeling, I have read your confessions so many times. In every dirty story you placed online. Each of them tells of your desire, your need to give up control, to feel owned and drawn under a magnificent woman's spell. To be bent to her will without question, be her servant, her stud, her fucktoy to take whenever it pleases her, however it pleases her. Just to please her. To make her smile. To feel the peace only giving yourself completely can provide, only her praise and satisfaction can nurture.
I know of your desire and also of the fear. The powerful fear and guilt eating you alive. It robs your sleep, your energy, your peace of mind. I know it won't be easy but I can't let you suffer any longer, my love. Not without my heart breaking for your pain. The time has come to learn to let go of the pain, to shed the guilt and face the fear. I will help you, don't worry, I will be right here with you, all along by your side.
Does it bother you that you still can't place me? Still so very proud, so proper, so reluctant to simply ask. You will learn to ask soon though, my handsome pet, to ask nicely and to beg. To beg as if your life depended on it. Soon, very soon, my love.
"Are you sure this was the right exit?"
"Of course. I just need to stop by and deliver a package to help out a dear friend. It is right on the way and won't take long."
Can you doubt the words of a smiling woman? No matter how mousy she may seem. Can soft brown eyes like mine lie, hiding from the world yet barely concealed by those wire framed glasses.
I can feel my heart pounding as we turn into my street. A few more moments and the deed is complete. Last moment to back out, last chance to escape consequences that might follow. Sexual assault, harassment, abduction, headlines of the obsessed computer geek kidnapping and raping her male colleague, prison sentence ... they all run through my mind as I pull into the drive way.
"The package is on the backseat. Could you get it for me, please?" I ask sweetly.
There is no time to reconsider, you lean into the back. It is now or never.
"I can't see it. Are you sure ... what ... I ..."
The smell of chloroform in the car makes me dizzy, your shoulder rests as a limp burden against mine. I pull down the window, my pulse racing, my mind floating in the heady cloud of success. I take a deep breath to clear my head, now is not the time to celebrate, not yet.
I tie the soaked rag securely to your face. Finally some good use for that ugly tie.
The garage door opens then closes automatically behind us and we disappear from the eyes of the world. A different reality awaits us. Three blissful days of adventure and discovery. A three-day odyssey for you to accept and start to embrace who you truly are.
Three short days for me to make you mine.

I watch you quietly from a dark corner while the effect of the drug starts to wear off. You stir with a moan on the bed, the chain attached to your leather cuffs rustling with a melody of its own as you struggle for orientation. Stripping you while unconscious had been a challenge and I almost regret not removing more of your clothes when your tight nipples become outlined against the soft cotton wife-beater. The chilly air of the basement taunts them with a teasing caress as you struggle to return to me again.
