Hmm, I guess it's my turn to tell the story. Turn-about is fair play indeed!
Letting my boy tap into his slightly darker side was... actually hotter than I expected. That's part of what's interesting about it - and him in general, really - he is a cutie but fundamentally a submissive soul. Brings me tea and food whenever I want, and always looks after my needs, often to his own detriment more than he'd ever want to admit. I need him to look after himself more, I guess, and part of that is about letting him let out the parts of his nature that he's ashamed of and would prefer to pretend he doesn't have.
So being a bit cheeky and encouraging him to tie me up was a safety valve of sorts - for him. For me, it was just fun to watch - there's something about his expression when he's plotting something devious.
But I can also see from the last few days that opening that door has not been a simple one. He's known for a long time that he's submissive through-and-through, to the point where it's part of his identity. Opening the door a crack to suggest otherwise needed to happen, but it wasn't going to be easy for him. He's been more moody and more introverted the last few days, always a sign that he's having some internal trouble, more than just the usual work nonsense.
I guess it's time I helped him reconcile that - that just because I let him stray outside the usual boundaries of our situation, that it doesn't redefine who he is, and that it doesn't redefine who I am, and most importantly it doesn't redefine who we are as a couple. The fact we'll have fun with this is just a nice by-product. And if I play it right, I get my submissive lover to reclaim who he is, whilst being comfortable with this extra part of him that will be fun for me. Even a dominant girl doesn't want to have to do all the hard work.
I arranged to have a Friday working from home, so that I'd have time to prepare before he got home from work, and a little time to mess with him beforehand, and a weekend to look after him afterward.
About an hour before he left work, I texted him, "So what's a girl got to do to get in trouble around here?" I figured this was playful, prodding at the slightly open wound in a bratty way, and indicated that I was up for some fun this weekend.
With that, I packed up the work laptop and began to prepare for the evening's entertainment: a submissive re-learning his place.
First things first, wardrobe. I know he has fashion fetishes, things he'd like me to wear and, honestly, I usually don't. Why would I, as a dominant, have my creative choices and what sets my mood dictated to me by my submissive? That was something I had encountered with previous subs, that they had fashion choices they wanted, as though they couldn't otherwise be dominated unless that was going on - and to me, that didn't seem very dominating.
But today, it seemed like that was needed, so I fished out the dark, almost navy, blue satin shirt, a hot pink tie, leather skirt and knee-high boots. Never been much of a fan of shirts - they never seem to sit right, but a couple of safety pins artfully concealed later, and all is well. I needed to quickly skim a tutorial or two on tying a tie, but I got it to sit how I wanted, and how I know he liked it. Just as a flourish, I added a pair of his cufflinks to the cuffs, a detail he'd notice, and be reminded that he is mine. (At least, that's the intent. He is his own person, after all, and ownership is given, not taken.)
Toys, I'd need a few, but they could wait. I could mess with him a bit when he got here, like getting things out of the toybox that I had no intention of using.
But first I needed to spread a towel out on the bed, one of the big ones that - much as I'd never really indicated - I'd bought specifically for this purpose. Who needs a 2m square beach towel when living in a town with a pebble beach? Answer, me, because it covers the whole bed and I had a feeling tonight might get messy.
And I wrote a note, pinned it to the bedroom door. "When you arrive home, you are to remove all your clothes, place them in a tidy pile by the door, knock three times, then turn around." It's not the best wording, but I know full well that being simple, direct and clear is more useful to him when he's in a funk than any amount of clever wording and puzzling that I might do just to mess with him.
And with that, I shut the bedroom door, sat on the corner of the bed, checked the tie was tied straight one more time, adjusted my hair, and waited for him to come home.
I didn't have long to wait - looks like he had left work promptly and walked home without staying a bit later as he sometimes does. I took that to be a good sign.
I heard him putting his laptop bag down in the hallway, the clatter of keys being put to one side, dull thuds as boots came off, shuffling into the bathroom. His usual routine - also a good sign.
Then I had that moment - when you can 'hear the silence' as it were, where the absence of a sound is a sound in itself, and where anything could happen. This was the make-or-break moment for the evening, possibly the weekend, and being honest I'm not sure I'd have coped well if he'd decided he didn't want to deal with having fun.
But I heard some shuffling noises, then the sound of knuckles rapping on wood. Once. Twice. Thrice. Showtime.
I opened the door, and there he stood, naked, facing away from me. Just this man, naked, the things I wanted to do to him. The things I wanted him to do with me. Fairly sure he could smell my scent. At least, I hoped he could.
I stepped behind him, the not-so-high heels of my boots clicking on the wooden floor. I'm normally taller than him anyway, the heels just adding a couple of inches to that.
He's a little tense, hunching those shoulders just a little. Maybe I should help that. Hands on his shoulders, thumbs in the area by the shoulder blade, I gently dig in and work the muscles.
"Now, then, little one. Can't have you all tense when I want to have fun with you." He's just about to turn his head, but I interrupt. "Nuh, no looking at me."
I take his wrists, hold them behind his back, and lean in to seductively murmur in his ear. "You've been a bad boy, I can't let you go having ideas above your place, now, can I?" He knows fine that this isn't really a transgression, that we're now entering a place where his misdemeanours such as they are will be punished, but that the misdemeanour in question is irrelevant and in this particular case was instigated by me - he's more than clever enough to know that I'm pushing his kink rather than actually giving him a hard time about anything actually bad.
But in the moment, the intellectualisation doesn't matter. It's just the pretence of the thing and in the moment, he will suffer for it, he will release his inner tensions through sexual expiation - at least in his mind - and very likely, come very hard afterwards. Which is exactly what I want. I want him to associate him having kinky fun times 'sadisting' me as something that he will be 'punished' for later, thus giving him the mental space to have fun with it and not demonise himself for doing so.
And if that isn't fair play turnabout, I have no idea what is.
I take a step back. "Turn around."
He does so, and I watch his gaze start at my feet and work upwards. I've long known that he habitually looks towards the floor in general (that submissive streak at work), but in this case I'm intentionally using it against him, with my boots being the least intimidating part of the outfit, rising up with the rest of me.
I follow his gaze - and his building erection - up from my boots to my skirt, to the shirt and tie combination. He often frets about this, about it being weird, but actually looking online it's really quite common. Hot pink with almost-navy blue is a bit rarer but it's a colour combination that's pretty striking and seems to have an effect. I think the fact that I'm not a fan probably helps it be incredible when I do do it.
