No one knew all of Shelley.
Shelley was a self-described "good girl with a dark side". She kept it well-hidden, just like she kept other facets of her personality compartmentalized.
She had little real-life experience exploring her dark side, but she discovered a deep, sensual need to do so. What she really longed for was a guy who accepted all of the unique parts of her personality. It seemed like she'd meet a guy who was a great date, but he wasn't interested in exploring anything other than straight sex. Or, she'd meet a guy who liked to explore the kinkier side of his sexuality, but he wasn't the type she could bring around her friends.
She ventured into various online dating sites. Her friends insisted she try match.com, and eharmony, but it seemed like the profiles were pretty much the same. No one really caught her interest. So she explored more. There were more extreme fetish sites, and swinger's sites, but she didn't find what she was searching for.
She'd gotten several interesting responses from a site that was simply a place to meet up. Some were from guys who promised instant romance, long walks on the beach, and wine. Others were more direct; expecting her to become submissive to them, like an "online dom".
Then she saw Jason's profile. It was brief but well-written. Just one photo. He seemed intelligent, so she emailed him a short note.
She was excited when he responded back. The usual banter; such as 'how has your luck been on here'; 'what are you looking for'. They exchanged quite a few messages, and then it led to texts. Lots of texts, playful in nature. The hint of sexual undertones. Texts led to phone calls.
Shelley was impressed. Jason could easily converse about his job, his family, and his interests. She shared some things with him, and they found some common ground.
Soon their phone conversations became more playful, and more sexual. They both played off each other well, and it wasn't long before the sexual conversations went on late into the night. They shared fantasies ... teasing about what they would do with the other. They found each other to be creative and clever, and most of the time the conversations led to explicit verbal foreplay, mutual touching, and intense orgasms.
Wow, Shelley thought. This is awesome, and we haven't even met, kissed or touched yet.
She began to feel free to share very intimate details. How she had often fantasized about meeting another woman for some female fun. Perhaps a threesome at some point. What really turned her on and what she ached for with a partner.
Jason did the same, describing both a dominant personality and the things he wanted to do to Shelley; and a more submissive side, wanting to be bound, teased, and to cede control..
They both led busy lives, in which they bore the responsibilities of demanding jobs, households, families. But they found a deep need to share intimate thoughts with each other.
Still, they connected only through texts and phone calls. Bringing each other pleasure this way was great, but she wanted to take it a step further.
