This is the 9th installment of an ongoing story about Michele a and Tim. For sure, it is a disturbing relationship and is in no way intended to describe something healthy or ideal. Emotional sadism is central to it all. If this bothers you, this is not the story for you and I suggest you venture elsewhere.
What makes the story interesting to me is what takes place in the minds of the characters. Withouts words and ideas and the feelings that go with them, it's all just mechanics and honestly, that's not so interesting to me. Simple, pure fucking is a great thing to do. I don't need to read about it. Perhaps when I was verrrrrrrry young, that alone would have intrigued me. Now...yawn. This is a dark, emotional journey. I hope you enjoy it.
The following preface is cut and pasted from installment II. For a more comprehensive understanding of their world, you can venture back to the first installment. Read it or skip it.
This story takes place in a very male dominant society, one which is even more patriarchal than our own. Our hero, Michele, is enchanted by the discovery of her own sexual super power. Poor, lucky Tim, on the other hand comes to realize that he falls under Michels's spell, he does not measure up to societal expectations. These two young people are discovering and becoming as they grow together as a couple.
Psychological conflict and tension are central themes in this saga.

The story has been formatted to meet the publishing requirement of our host and I am hopeful the necessary kinks have been worked out.
A more complete preface can be found at the beginning of the first installment and if you did not read it, it could be helpful to do so. Here are some of the contextual parameters of the fictional world the story takes place within.
* People are legal adults at 18 years of age.
* People usually live to about 2,000 years of age.
* The cultural norm has almost all legal adults living with their family of origin until they turn 200 years old.
* Young people between the ages of 18 and 200 are treated as and referred to as children when they choose to continue living with their parents.
* Young people between the ages of 18 and 200 often behave much as we would expect teenagers to behave here in our world. They are kept in a state of arrested emotional development.
* Young people between the ages of 18 and 200 years customarily consume "blockers" which prevent them from having sexual feelings or impulses.
* Often young people will begin to "date" around 160 yers of age and while they are expected to continue to take their blockers, some will surreptitiously stop taking them while a few will stop responding to them.
* Age and masculinity are revered in this world. Everybody looks up to their elders and few seriously question the patriarchy.
All characters in the story are over 18 years of age.
It is customary for those below the age of 200 to demonstrate their status by wearing clothing which signify to others that they are off limits. They would wear what we would think of as children's clothing. Remember, an 18 year old and a 1,900 year old would look exactly the same age, so children's clothes are very useful for signaling to those over 200 years to abstain from any romantic or sexual pursuit of another who was deemed of an inappropriate age.
Lastly, sex is not technically illegal for people between the ages of 18 and 200 years. It is considered profoundly taboo. Adult-children (18+) do have sex but it is kept very quiet. Some parents punish their children for engaging in this sinful pleasure and adult-children almost never tell-on one another in this regard, even those who might not like one another. Adult children live by a code and violation of said code subjects one to complete ostracization. Almost none experiment until they are well over 160 years old.
Tim was unsettled by another issue. He'd be damned if he was going to be in a relationship with someone who could just choose, independently, to be with other people.
At least that's what he'd told himself before sitting down with Becky.
Who allows something like that?
Tiffany had done that to him and it was so wrong! Allowing it was unthinkable. So he did not think about it...mostly...at least he did not think about it everyday.

Michele came to realize that what she and Tim shared was in many ways a throw back to an earlier time. This reminded her of what life had been like prior to women getting the right to vote. It reminded her of a time before women had any real right to independence within a marriage. It was a classic or idealized husband/wife relationship from the 1950s. The only difference was it was the woman who was in charge of her man; Mother knew best after all.
Krista explained that with the women's liberation movement there emerged a new ideal, an ideal of "equality." Most progressive at least thought of it sometimes as an aspirational "goal." Most did not take it very seriously.
And even for the few who took it seriously, the problem was that equality was hard to define and for some, they were not comfortable in this dynamic.
Many men continued to dominate the household.
Women did this too, but when they did, it usually was not overt dominance. Rather, it was a subtle, gentle leadership that was often never recognized or held up to the light of day.
Of real significance was the fact that Her dominance often did not exist in the bedroom. Either it was male centered sex or more likely they had little sex that was more often than not, unsatisfying for the otherwise would-be alpha female.
In the bedroom, Michele wanted and expected the classic, well behaved, submissive and servile lover, male or female, husband or wife. And there was never a moment's doubt or confusion about who was master of this sacred realm.
Michele reigned supreme and was more than comfortable with Michele centered sex. As long as Tim fulfilled this basic and in Michele's mind, totally reasonable expectation, they enjoyed the fullness of a loving relationship.
And like many of those husbands Michele had her girl on the side. It was not exactly a secret, and Michele did not hide from it, but neither did they talk much about it. There were times when Michele was out of the house, whereabouts unknown.
"I'll be home late."
This comment always put him on edge. Countless women felt the same insecurity and resentment when he claimed, "I'll be home late, I have a meeting."
Other times, Tim was expected to be out of the house for several hours and was given no explanation as to why.
When he did ask what was going on, she brow beat him into letting it go. "...god, mind your own business!" If that did not work, he was given quite the hot bottom.
Tim learned the hard way not to ask questions and to hold it all inside.
Michele so appreciated the freedom to choose another lover. Yes, it drove Tim crazy, but she did not feel badly about that at all. First of all, she was secure in her decision to keep Tim as her primary, subordinate partner and Love. Michele loved Tim.
She was clear that this was the best possible choice.
With the understanding that Michele valued her relationship with Tim and had no intention of leaving him, she and Krista reasoned it was only fair that Michele enjoy someone on the side, since it was only a bit of extra fun. Since it was nothing serious, it was not only fair that she keep Tim but the two agreed that she owed him no explanation or justification and to live unapologetically.
She so valued the freedom to be with another that she knew it was best for the relationship. Tim was her lover and her confidant, but her ability to be with Becky kept her from feeling trapped or cooped up.
With this freedom, she knew she would not grow to resent Tim.
Briefly, she wondered where this freedom might take her in the future.
That he had the same freedom of choice Michele had was not even considered and had Krista brought it up, the two would have laughed at the joke. Tim was well kept beneath her, right where he belonged. She smiled contentedly.
Michele spoke to Krista often about having a happy, healthy and loving relationship, yet indulging in behavior that challenged Tim and kept their relationship exciting. One thing Krista suggested was to encourage or require Tim to engage in lots of "manly" activities, such as karate and mt. biking.
Michele found it was much more fun when Tim got to stretch his legs as a man and really let him get out from under Michele's skirt. In this way, she got to bring him back into submission in a way that kept it all fresh.
