My girlfriend and I quickly went in an interesting direction with our relationship. She wore the pants, and I didn't. This wasn't something which took much initial evolution, we met through a mutual friend who thought we would be perfect for each other. On our very first date, she said to me, "Some of my friends would say that I'm an acquired taste, but I would argue, that if you can't take me the way I am, then in the long term you are not going to work out." I asked what she meant by that and she said, "I like having a man around. It does feel right. But everyone says that a good relationship is all about meeting in the middle, compromise, and communication." She then flagged the waiter over and said, "Here is an example." She ordered dinner for both of us. She smiled and said, "I don't compromise. To be honest, I like not compromising. I usually don't even know I'm doing it, but when I am it is deliberate. I want what I want and what I don't want I don't put up with."
I told her, "Look, I'm always feeling like I'm dancing around. I've gone on dates where we negotiate some place we both like and then 5 minutes into the movie, park, sporting event or whatever she tells me she doesn't like it but then won't leave for whatever reasons. I hate that."
She smiled at me and said, "I can guarantee that won't happen with me."
For the next few months, our relationship was pretty much exactly this. When she decided I was moving in, I moved in. She went through my place and picked the few things she liked and told me to get rid of the rest." Her place was nicer and her stuff was nicer so this made sense.
While she definitely had been open from the first about how commanding she would be, there was a definite progression happening where she did things like hand me a list of chores and when they were to be done. I liked things clean so none of this was unreasonable. While some people might be unhappy with there being an unfairness to my doing all chores, she had been upfront about it being her way or the highway, so I was happy because it wasn't something unexpected.
My life was fairly simple around her. We had sex which matched her personality. Very much her on top, her show. It happened when and where she wanted. I didn't mind this even a tiny bit. I didn't have to read her moods and there was no undercurrent about my not being romantic. The few times I did go out of my way to be romantic she said, "If I want something I'll take it or buy it." as she threw my flowers in the garbage. Some people might see this as being mean but in her case, it was her wonderful clarity which made me quite happy with this situation.
My life was quite simple in that we were both into exercise so we did this together we both ran, did yoga, and worked out. Our travel was generally limited to nearby places to do one of these exercise things. Both of our ideal "Nights out" was sitting with a book, fucking, or my giving her a long massage. Distance travel wasn't a thing for either of us as we both had extreme travel childhoods as a common background. Neither of us could be certain of how many countries we had both been to before age 10.
I was just cleaning up dinner when she surprised me with a question instead of a command. "Would you mind giving up your finances to me?" I was more startled by it being a question than the question itself and I said as much, "I'm more curious as to why you have to ask?" She got a bit of a faraway look and said, "It's not the money. I've got piles. And, both of us earn more than we need. But well..." She got a faraway look and said, "Well.. It's about control."
I said, "Done. I trust you." There was definitely an emotional sexual aspect because less than 5 minutes later she was riding me hard and when she was extra exuberant she would strangle me with her hands. Normally, this was just enough pressure to make it extra clear as to who was on top, but tonight I was starting to see my vision darken. I put my hands on her wrists but she knocked them away. I just let myself go and I'm fairly certain I came harder than night than ever before. The only way to describe what she was doing was hate-fucking me. Even more, that night she would wake me up jerking me to hardness and ride me some more. On and off it was maybe 6 separate hard fucks.
In the morning I looked at my neck in the mirror and I could count the individual fingers and her thumbs in the bruising on my throat. Both of us could choose to work from home as much as we wanted and today was certainly one of those days. I transferred my bank balance over to her and had my work change the deposit details to her. Of course, she made no mention of how I would get money and I didn't ask.
A month later we were watching a movie when I just asked, "You get off on my not having any money." She looked at me for a bit and said, "Quite a bit." She then looked concerned which wasn't something she did often and I jumped in, "I'm not wanting to change it back. I just was curious."
She seemed quite happy with this and she started stroking me but wasn't going any further. This was a very common situation with her conversations; not just ones where she clearly had an agenda, but sometimes she would just be asking me about work, or even discussing a book we had read. She said, "I've generally been honest with you. But I have actually restrained my controlling side. No boyfriend has even come close to putting up with me to this point." I was breathless but could still sense this was important when I said, "I love your control. I love it so much that I feel guilty. I wonder if you ever want me to push back, to be the man, to be your equal." She stopped stroking me and said, "I would hate if you did those things." She then resumed stroking I said, "How have you been restraining yourself? The money thing?" She said, "I don't know what my limit is for control." I said, "You've got my money, you've got my income. And you've got my heart. I'm not sure what more there could be?"
She said, "Let's say you've had enough. You could walk out that door right now. Go stay at a friend's. Get your work to deposit your money back in your account and you will be back on your own two feet in a month or less."
I said, "Are you proposing some kind of bondage thing?" She said, "While that could be fun. That isn't what I want. I haven't really got a full picture. I just know I love this and I want more."
She then climbed on me and we weren't discussing rational things for the next hour.
The next morning we were lying in bed and I said, "I could quit my job." It took her a few beats to see where I was going and she said, "That would be cool" and that was done. I didn't even waste any time. I wrote an email on my phone to my work saying that life events more important than my work had come up and I was quitting with immediate effect. I handed her the phone and said, "It's for you to press send." She didn't even hesitate and sent it.
I pointed to my dick which was rock hard and said, "I should be freaking out right now but instead I'm about as aroused as possible. She then ran a wet finger along my dick and said, "Guess who literally gushed as they hit send."
This then kicked off a morning of fucking, taking pee and food breaks and fucking hard some more. Around noon she rolled off and went to her work. I just lay there and reflexively got up to work myself when I just laughed. Instead, I kicked off an exercise program which was another notch higher than usual because I now had the time.
I just came in from a run when I found her sitting at the table with a folder. She said, to me, "I've been worrying that we are on an edge. You are the perfect match for me. But I still want more. I'm sort of hoping that this is the point of no return. She then slid the papers over to me. The first one was a very high interest rate loan with a company which was her pet name for me. I said, "I don't understand, are you looking to give me an allowance through loans?" She licked her lips and said, "No, it isn't much money and it is a one-time thing, what I'm looking for is debt bondage. You were saying how you asked if you wanted me to lock you up. Well, this is better. Read it carefully." I then realized this was a form of student loan. This would mean it would never expire, and I would be fucked financially. Even worse it was 30% interest which was the legal limit in our region. I did some mental math and said, this more than doubles every 3 years. This is over 20k but why such a specific number?" She said, "I want you to go to school for me. I want you to take a massage therapist course. Your massages are good, but I want even better."
I thought that this was getting weird in a way which gave me feathers and I said, "When does the course start?" as I signed the loan documents. She smiled and said, "First class is tomorrow at 7 am." She then lifted up a backpack from under the table and said, "Here are all your textbooks and supplies. There is some study material you are supposed to have familiarized yourself with before tomorrow." Ironically, as I studied late into the night she came over and gave me a shoulder rub.
