My Voyage of Submission, Ch 19 - A Surprise
I was getting ready to go to the mess the next morning when Dr. Sadiq stopped me.
"What did you do to my wife?"
"I didn't do anything to your wife, sir. What's happened to her?"
"Are you saying you didn't tell her to ask me to take complete control of her?"
"No, I'm not saying that. I'm saying I didn't cause her to want to say that. She wanted to say something to you and I told her it might be appropriate to ask in that way."
"Are you saying my wife wants to be a submissive?"
"Yes, and she wants you to be her Dominant."
"Why would she want that?"
"I would say it's in her nature."
"Why would she never say anything about this before?"
"Because she didn't think she could ask based upon your faith and occupation. Doesn't mean she didn't want to before now, but didn't feel she could express it to you."
"Why ask now?"
"I suspect because of her awareness of knowing what you were speaking to me about."
"What was done to those women was criminal."
"Of course it was. You do know some women have rape fantasies, don't you? You've been exposed to this in your education?"
"Yes."
"It doesn't mean women want to be raped. It's a fantasy about not having control, of someone else having control over them, forcing them to do things they don't want to do, or secretly wish they could do. Submission is a similar fantasy. Your wife fantasizes about losing control to someone else. She wants you to take control of her."
"I can't do that."
"Why not?"
"Well, my religion, of course. So much of Dominant/submissive relationships is haram."
"I don't know enough about Islam to say much in regards to your faith and what is allowed and not allowed, but let's say for the moment I do. Since any true D/s relationship is based upon the rules that they make for each other, is there anything prohibiting the two of you from making rules which follow the dictates of the Qur'an? For instance, let's say that it was absolutely forbidden for a husband to strike his wife. I know that isn't true, but let's say it is. Then in your relationship, you would prohibit corporal punishment. Instead of striking her, you would practice orgasm denial instead. Or you could make her stand quietly in a corner. If it were forbidden she wear a collar, you could give her other jewelry or objects which would signify her submission instead. Something which could go under her clothing, like a belly chain or ankle chain. You make up the rules together, so make up rules following the dictates of your faith.
"Any rules you agree on together ensures her safety and the ability to stop anything with which either of you is uncomfortable. She has a safe word. She's not like the involuntary slaves we've freed. She can stop it at any time she wishes. So can you for that matter. It allows both of you to explore fantasies without harm to the other.
"The sex isn't an issue. She's allowed sex with her husband. I don't believe tying or binding is prohibited as long as it's not used for something else which would be forbidden. Keeping her naked in your house isn't forbidden. The very concept of harems is Islamic if I'm not mistaken. Exposing herself outside the house is. Islam, to the best of my knowledge, wishes women to be subservient to their husbands, for the males of the family to be in charge of the family. She merely wants to take this one step further. What did you feel when she knelt at your feet asking you to be her Master?"
He didn't respond, by which I took it to mean he reacted like most males reacted. He got an erection, but was too polite to say so in mixed company.
"Something else which you might want to consider. If there are any things in your marriage which result in marital discord, those things will now be gone. If she's willing to be your submissive, she's turning over to your control all subjects which could be points of contention in your marriage. While most Dominants prefer to use their power to increase the nakedness of their sub, the opposite is also true. If she sometimes wears something which you think is too revealing, you have only to pick out her clothes for her. She should wear what you wish her to wear without argument. If there are certain foods you wish cooked, order them cooked. Household chores which she resists doing, order them done. Your control exists outside of the bedroom as well as in it.
"Let me put it another way, Dr. Sadiq. I came across this in my research into submission, by someone known as Madam Michele. I don't know if she got it somewhere else or made it up. She said, 'Being a submissive has never been about being powerless. It's about a conscious decision to gift that power to the person you deem most worthy of it.' By asking you to be her Master, Felicity has deemed you worthy of relinquishing that power to you. She knows you would never willingly harm her or do something to make her regret giving you that power over her. She's telling you she trusts you to take care of her. I don't believe that's a bad thing in a marital relationship. The only thing you need to determine is what that relationship looks like in order to comply with your faith. Everything else is meaningless. What did you tell her when she asked?"
"I was shocked and disturbed she would ask me. I was angered and thought it evil she'd even consider such a thing. I rejected the very notion of it."
"I'm sure part of the reason you felt that way is because you immediately thought of other D/s relationships you may be aware of. It doesn't have to be one of those. She's not asking a stranger to take control. She's asking her husband. You would be setting the parameters of your relationship. You would be helping to ensure that relationship did not violate your religious concerns. You seem to be a man of high moral character. Nothing you do has to violate the tenets of your morality. Perhaps you're right and it would be impossible to do under the Qur'an. Is there any reason you couldn't try to establish rules for yourselves which were not haram? Why not consider what those rules would be and see if it's possible for you to accept your wife's submission? She clearly wishes to give it to you."
"You make it sound very enticing."
"It certainly could be. Excuse me, I must eat before the police arrive."
I hoped I'd given him reason to consider Felicity's submission. She seemed like a beautiful woman who would make a delicious slave. A man would be lucky to have such a woman subservient to him.

The Scotland Yard detectives were ferried over at nine. A number of things had already occurred by the time they arrived. In searching the residences of the two men in London, two more slaves had been found, one at each. The other two slaves were not Pakistani. One was another of Mahmoud's victims, the other Chinese. I suppose it's hard to pretend one is a niece and another a ward if neither was from Pakistan. They didn't even speak Urdu fluently, although they spoke smatterings of both English and Urdu, enough to follow the commands of their Masters.
Both of the detectives spoke Urdu because the large Pakistani population in London frequently required a facility in that language, so Doctor Sadiq's translation skills were not required for their statements, but he helped soothe the women as they were questioned. Sahar actually sat in on the questioning because she provided a calming influence on the two. She'd been looking after them since their Masters were arrested, conversing through the iPads. Since she didn't speak Urdu, it wasn't as if she would be overhearing confidential information and they were much calmer with her present. Since Master's cabin offered the most privacy and room, the questioning was being done there.
While her husband was busy, Felicity sought me out.
"What did you say to my husband?" she asked.
"About what?"
"When I spoke to him last night about the topic you and I discussed, he was angry and upset. He refused to have sex with me, turning on his side with his back to me. He seemed to blame you for my 'perverted desires'. He got up early and when he came back to the room, he was insatiable. After climaxing, he even had me suck his cock, which he very seldom allows me to do, then made love again. He was like a changed man from last night. He told me he'd speak to me later about my desire to be his submissive. I can't imagine he could change that much over the course of the night without speaking to someone about it. I thought perhaps it was you since he was so angry and now he's not."
"We did speak this morning early. I just told him your relationship did not have to be like what he assumed a Dominant/submissive relationship was like. Between the two of you, you could set rules and guidelines which would keep you from violating the laws of Islam and the Qur'an."
"Whatever you said worked wonderfully. I feel like we're going to enter a wonderful new part of my marriage and I'm so happy."
"May the blessings of Allah make your marriage stronger and deepen your love for one another."
"Thank you."

Both of the women were questioned for over two hours by the detectives, getting as many details as possible. Master was not present as he didn't speak the language anyway. He asked that they share any details which might help end the human trafficking with Representative Ward, his wife.
When they finished, Dr. Sadiq showed evidence he'd been weeping. The two detectives, more accustomed to hearing about and investigating brutal crimes, hadn't been crying, but they weren't exactly ecstatic either. Sahar hadn't understood what was said, so she looked much as she always did, hard as steel, but not as brittle.
A place had been found for the four slaves with someone who'd look after them until the trial. Master told the detectives they had to be sure whoever tended to them was of the highest moral character because the slaves would likely do whatever they were ordered to do, no holds barred.
"Did you get everything you needed?" Master asked as the Inspectors got ready to leave, the two women accompanied by a female officer who spoke the language.
