Ben and Cassie had been lovers before Cassie moved abroad. They had been young but the relationship had been very strong until then. Cassie had got married abroad but had recently moved back into the area. She had thought about contacting Ben but felt it would be going behind her husband's back. Their marriage was good but she had never forgotten the intense attraction that she and Ben had enjoyed or the submissiveness that Ben had always brought out in her. She had tried so hard to replicate the submissiveness with her husband but it had just not worked for either of them.
When their eyes met in the pub they both felt the electricity instantly. They both immediately left their groups of friends and moved to the bar to talk. On certain levels it was as if the previous seven years had not happened. They discussed what they had been doing but also found themselves reminiscing about their time together. Ben said he would like to meet up, as he wanted to put a proposal to Cassie. She was very reluctant but he persuaded her that he would put no pressure on her to do anything she did not want to. They agreed to meet in a restaurant of his choosing the following Wednesday evening when she was due to be out with the girls.
She felt like a schoolgirl preparing for a date. She felt guilty but was frightened at how excited she was. By the time she walked into the restaurant her heart rate was up and her mouth was dry. They made small talk until they had ordered their food and their drinks had been delivered. With her heart in her mouth she asked him.
"You said you wanted to put a proposal to me. I am nervous to ask, as you know I am married and do not wish to do anything to hurt that."
"I do not wish to damage your marriage. I am not looking for our relationship to be anything other than sexual."
"How would having a sexual relationship with you not damage my marriage?"
"Let me finish and try and explain before you answer. You said that you missed being submissive and that it was putting a strain on your marriage. If you fulfilled your submissive needs with me it might well help your marriage. I would not ask for any romantic involvement in fact in my experience it makes a sub/dom relationship more difficult. I propose that we meet occasionally and that you are totally submissive. If at any time you want to stop you only have to say. I will promise that I will stop immediately and will leave your life completely."
"My god that is a lot to take in, in one go. If anybody else said what you just did I would slap him or her hard. When you say it I just want to melt and do whatever you ask. I cannot possibly agree to letting you dominating me."
