This chapter is a part of my husband's Life as a Sub series. It is written by me, Ruth, and describes my intimate and D/s relationship with my Aunt Claire and her husband Bob.

Ruth
Days after the last party, Jim asked me to add more detail about my early days of college, from when I first confided in Aunt Claire, to how both she and Bob eventually persuaded me to play with them.
My sexual development started when I experimented when out camping with a couple of friends. It was during a festival at Stonehenge, where I shared a tent with a couple of girlfriends, while those of my friends who had boyfriends had their own tents. You have to remember, it was a time when drinking and drugs was all part of the festival experience and the smell of cannabis permeated the air around the tents and was openly used. And then of course, there was the very familiar sounds of loud but unseen sex in the tents during the nights.
I assured Jim that I didn't actually do anything that I would have been ashamed of, but, my mum had found out about what had happened, and was a little worried about things, in her opinion, progressing in the wrong direction, especially when I was about to start college.
So, when I started college, Mum encouraged me to contact her close friend who lived just down the road from the campus. I knew her as Aunt Claire, because she had always been a regular visitor to our house as I grew up. Bob on the other hand, was just someone who I knew to be only as, well, Bob, Aunt Claire's husband. I had only seen him round our house a couple of times with Aunt Claire apparently because of his job. He was an officer in the merchant navy but he had really weird working hours. Sometimes he worked nights and so he was asleep during the day, other times he was on day sailings....... well you get the picture.
If you have read the previous Life as a sub chapters by Jim, you will know of mine and Aunt Claire's relationship. Aunt Claire had started it all, by being the person I could turn to when it came to any personal or college problems. The number of visits and meetings increased, and in what seemed like a short period of time, and I really did have confidence in her and thought of her as a really close friend, just as I suspect, mum had wanted.
Bob was away quite a lot, and Aunt Claire, despite having her own job and other friends, was lonely when on her own. She confided in me when I visited, and as friends do, we eventually got talking about her more personal feelings. We often talked about Aunt Claire's relationship with Bob, and how she tried to keep a sex life around Bob's work hours, but it was very difficult. Aunt Claire wanted to keep her man happy, but he was always tired or made her feel like he didn't have the time. At this time, there was never any hint that they were already swingers. It was never ever mentioned, and I had no clue it was happening.
Over the months, I got to think that this was a normal Aunt -- Niece relationship, and thought nothing was strange about it. Aunt Claire was always asking me what I was getting up to at college, any boyfriends and just anything that would get us talking and enjoying each other's company.
Jim wasn't fully in my life at this time. I had just joined the college a year after Jim. My interests didn't have us cross paths for a while, but one day during early morning swimming training, I showed up and, well, he got more and more interested in me, and I did in him.
Anyway, to get to this part of the story, I told Jim about my first real intimate encounter with Aunt Claire. It was one weekend, when I was invited for Sunday lunch. Aunt Claire told me that Bob would be home from his night sailings at six and would go straight to bed, so lunch would be around two o'clock. She said that I could come around as early as nine if I wanted, to help her.
Now before I continue, Jim asked me to include and write this as part of his Life as a sub chapters. I didn't think that was a good idea because it was his sub story, and this chapter would just be another filler. He thought that it was an integral part of how I fitted in, so, after a little bit of encouragement, I decided to write it.

Me and my Aunt Claire - Pt 1
I felt sorry for Aunt Claire. She was in a difficult position. She wanted to go back to work, but if she wasn't home when Bob was, they would never see each other. She had friends of course, some of them even came around to her house occasionally for a chat, but I think that it was my visits that she enjoyed the most.
We had really clicked and I felt that Aunt Claire was someone who didn't mind hearing all my problems and of course, anything else I cared to tell her. She was more than a friend, I thought of her as one of my real aunts.
And this is where Jim wants me to tell you about my first very close sexual encounter with Aunt Claire and how I got more than interested in a fetish lifestyle.
It started when I was invited for a Sunday roast lunch. As usual, I wanted to look nice, so I dressed up and I even took a bottle of wine with me because Aunt Claire had told me that we were going to have a drink or two before the meal. Well, I wasn't as knowledgeable about drinks as Bob was, so I went for a red wine that my friends and I drank a lot. I even had a glass or two from an opened bottle as I got ready.
When it was time to go, I got a taxi to Bob and Claire's house. I knew I was wearing just the right short dress because when I got out of the taxi and walked up the path, I glanced around the garden and noticed the driver was still parked up leering at me. Yes, it felt creepy but I figured it was also a compliment so I gave him a wave, after which he quickly drove off.
At the front door, I was about to press the doorbell button, but I hadn't even raised my hand when the door opened. Aunt Claire was stood there in a lovely flowing blue and yellow patterned kaftan. I smiled, waved the bottle of wine and was just about to speak when she put her finger to her lips as a sign to tell me to be quiet. Instead, we kissed cheeks.
"Bob's upstairs asleep." She whispered into my ear, her perfume scent filled my nose and her warm hand lingered on my arm. "Close the door quietly please."
I stepped into the hallway and closed the door, then sat on the bench and took my shoes off. I got up and followed Aunt Claire as she sidled silently, bare footed towards the kitchen. I caught up with her and as we entered the kitchen, I saw a two saucepans on the stove, and there in the oven, cooking nicely was what looked like a tinfoil covered something in a large baking tray.
She waved her hand for me to sit down at the small round breakfast table, then waved an empty glass at me as I looked at the bottles of Gin and Tonic Water in the centre of the table.
"Join me?" She grinned.
Aunt Claire didn't wait for my answer as she opened the fridge and twisted out a couple of ice cubes from one of the many trays. She returned to the table and put the glass next to a half filled one, then proceeded to add half a glass of gin, topped up with a dash of tonic water. I looked at her and frowned. She giggled and added a bit more tonic then sat down opposite me. It was obvious that Aunt Claire had started early and was already a little bit tipsy.
"Cheers." She said tapping her glass against mine. "Cheers." I replied picking up the glass and sipping the drink.
