I never liked who I was, and not only that, I hated how I couldn't do anything about it. Since I was younger something inside of me had always been turned on by a dominant man that could make me submit to things I normally wouldn't do. A man that took control of a situation, made it his own and left me completely weak and helpless; vulnerable, some might say. A guy that could do with me what he pleased and yet I would be unable to resist him simply because he knew how to control me, and I find that overwhelmingly appealing. Most people would think that something is wrong with me solely because my desires are different from anything they have felt or thought about before, and for the longest time I did think something was wrong with me.
As I got older I was introduced to lit erotica and I found that I wasn't alone online when it came to the things I preferred sexually. I could escape in stories and let myself go, something I could never do in reality. My fantasies could take place in my mind and in my sleep without me worrying about scaring someone away, and not worrying about any repercussions. And still, your imagination can only take you so far, sooner or later you start yearning for the real thing. It seemed that no matter how hard I tried I could not find a man that would dominant me or at least make me feel the way I did when I read the stories, and I realized that I could never be truly happy and fulfilled until my needs were met.

Mike has been my friend for years and I've always confided in him because I knew he wouldn't judge me and I didn't have to worry about my personal business being spread around. I've always been attracted to him and him to me, but we could never seem to make it work. When I'm ready, he isn't and when he's ready, i'm not; it was just a vicious circle. So when we broke-up last February I told him we were done, that we weren't going to keep doing this to ourselves and we hadn't spoken since, until about a week ago.
My boyfriend and I had just broken up, so naturally I was upset, but I also knew it was coming because we weren't seeing each other enough and we were growing apart. Oddly enough, that night Mike e-mailed me asking if we could get together soon and catch up, I agreed.
