Note #1: This scenario will be written from both the Domme side and the sub side. The Dominant side is titled "The Long Night (Domme)." I suggest choosing one or the other to read first based on your sexual preferences. Each version focuses on the thoughts and emotions of the Domme/submissive as the night progresses.
Note #2: In this case, the Domme is considered a "soft" Domme. As you read this version, I hope you see why.

The Long Night (sub): Chapter 1

I couldn't believe it was finally happening.
The sun was setting as I drove. The sky was tinted with reds, yellows, oranges, and purples. I reveled in the color as much as I could, letting it calm me. The miles were ticking away. Only ten more miles before the exit. I was in unfamiliar territory, but it felt liberating. Everything about this trip felt liberating. Being out in the country after being stifled in the city for so long made me feel like a huge weight was lifted from my shoulders.
I enjoyed my job as a copy editor, but the hours were insane. My boss was constantly on my case about deadlines, and as soon as one was met another project landed on my desk. Being the perfectionist that I am (which was a great thing for a copy editor), I spent far more time at work reading and editing than anyone else in at the publishing house. Unfortunately, that also meant my boss spent much more time throwing sexual innuendos at me than he did at any other employee. Luckily, I did manage to keep up my running over my lunch break so my body could handle the stress. My mind was another story. There was always a nagging feeling that I was missing out on something big, something life-altering.
One of the projects tossed onto my desk was a very raunchy novel by a new author. My boss wanted me to read it through and see if it was worth the time it would take to work with the author on revisions. He even crudely suggested we "act out" some of the scenes to see if the author wrote them in a realistic way. God, that man was a piece of work. If I could find another editing job in the city I would, but right now editors were a dime a dozen and I was lucky to have a job at all.
Lord knows I didn't want to "act out" anything with that creep, but my sex life had been dormant since college. My only partner was my own hand. I didn't like watching porn as it never could take me over the edge. Words did more, but I didn't have much time to read. At least now I could read and hopefully take the edge off at the same time if this author was any good. As it turned out, the plotline involved BDSM, which I knew very little about since my entire sex life was vanilla. In fact, I'd never heard of some of the things the author wrote about, and many of the terms she used were words I never heard before. I decided that to do my job well, I'd better learn more about the dark side of sex.
I looked up terms the author used, such as "switch," "aftercare," "munch," and "collaring." This last one intrigued me. I thought at first it was connected to bondage, but found it was much more intense and meaningful. The book I was editing had three chapters dedicated to collaring listed in the table of contents - one on the "consideration" collar, one on the "training" collar, and one on the "formal" collar. The author gave a general sense of what these different collars meant through the plotline of the story, but I still wasn't quite clear.
That's when I found Literotica.
On Lit, I found a series of short stories that included a lot of the terms the author used. As I read the series (editing in my head, of courses), I started feeling warm... no, hot. I went to the bathroom. My cheeks were flushed, and my hands were shaking. Then I finally traced the feeling. I'd been so entrenched in the editing portion of my brain that I hadn't noticed just how wet I'd gotten while reading. I took off my jeans and panties and sat on the toilet. My gosh! My panties were soaked, and my jeans had a large dark spot in the crotch. What was happening to me? I masturbated fairly often, but I'd never been soaked like this.
I bookmarked the series, then decided to check out the forums. Not only could I read about the topics the author mentioned in the book, but I could also ask questions. At first, I was hesitant to post and just tried to find the answers I needed in the posts. But just like the author's description, what I found wasn't quite enough to clear up the distinctions for me. I also wondered why anyone would wear a collar on a regular basis in the first place - those were just for dogs and cats, weren't they?
I decided to post my questions.
Forgive my naivetΓ©, but I have a few questions. Keep in mind I'm a totally vanilla person, so all of this is totally out of my realm of imagination. I'm just trying to understand these things for a project at work.
Well, that last part got some interesting reactions. Suddenly there were so many people interested in what I did for a living.
Can someone explain the different levels of collars? Consideration, training, and formal?
After a couple of days I had a few answers. One man explained that they were similar to a promise ring, an engagement ring, and the wedding ring. But then another said it was much more involved than that but that was a fair enough distinction for a "vanilla" like me. I followed up a week later, after reading the chapter on the consideration collaring.
Ok thank you all. So how serious is the consideration phase? I just read something that was almost ritualistic about it. This sounds really intriguing to me and I'd like to learn about this lifestyle.
I added this last part hoping that I would get more information that would help as I edited future chapters. I didn't expect the flood of private messages.
I'll teach you all about being a good girl and earning that collar. Now get on your knees and suck on a banana like you would suck My cock, slut. I want video.
I've very well acquainted with the collaring process and have collared several slaves. I'd be happy to consider adding you to My harem if you behave like a well-trained pet.
If that's intriguing, you're really just a dirty cumslut disguising yourself as a normal person. I'd whip that normal attitude right out of you and make you a proper cumbucket.
On and on they went. I'd stirred up the kinky hornet's nest. The messages kept coming for several days.
Then one day, there was another message mixed in with the others.
"Forgive me if I'm intruding as I'm not what you're searching for. I'm a female Domme, but I just wanted to reach out and make sure you weren't being harassed too much here. If you'd like to talk sometime, let me know."
A female dominant? After reading the book, the stories, the posts, and the messages I'd received, I couldn't quite imagine a man submitting to a woman. I decided to find stories that had to do with male submission, and I was surprised to find hundreds. Many had "sissy" in the title, and that just didn't sound appealing at all. After reading a few about women dominating men, I decided that really wasn't stimulating to me in the least. I read more of the book... and more of the story series I had bookmarked. Every time I read that series, I ended up changing my panties afterward. I felt dirty, but also more stimulated than I'd ever been in my life. I found myself wanting to sneak out to the bathroom at work and get off.
Eventually, I decided that maybe that mystery woman could be of help. She was pleasant in her message, unlike all the other perverts. For some reason I felt no trepidation at all writing back to her.
"I wondered if I would get any interest here, but it seems I've found the dark side of this site. Thank God I didn't give any identifying information out; I've honestly been looking over my shoulder everywhere I go worried I'd get attacked or something."
