Gradually as the time passed by, my hubby was much more open to discussing things. Although he is the one who brought the topic out in the open, he has been more shy talking about it, then I expected. We kept our vanilla relationship at maximum, mixing it nicely with the FLR lifestyle, for about a year. Since we trust each other completely, and since we smoothly managed to implement FLR and its associated kinks, I decided we should find a way to increase the intensity of my dominance and his submission. And on one Friday night, while at the dinner table of our favorite restaurant, having our meals of choice, I asked him, in almost ignorant manner, would he wish to intensify our Dom-sub relationship. We often had some lite conversations about the topic, never one really intense. So he answered with a simple yes. Casually I continued about the topic, asking more questions such as...are you ready for a full time servitude, etc...? And whatever I asked him, his replies were affirmative. We both love single malts, so we kept a bottle of The Balvenie for several years, waiting for the right ocassion to open it. I told my husband that evening was that very special evening. With that his face changed and he knew I was serious about something. To be continued... Anne
