Bound (H.S)

The one with endless questions

Tonight was the night! He was going to approach Rory about taking his submission to another level. He knew what to expect from her as a dominant and she had some sort of idea of what to expect from him as a submissive.

When they first started dating she had been forthcoming with the fact that she was part of the BDSM scene even if not in the typical way. She didn't force him to become her submissive, but she apparently saw the potential in him before he even knew it was there. Shortly after they began exclusively dating, Louise still teases him about how giddy he got when he finally asked her to be his girlfriend, they had the talk. He remembers it very well.

"I've been doing a little thinking." Harry started. He was nervous, not something he wasn't used to.

"O...kay." Rory said apprehensively.

"I want to give it a try. Being a sub...a submissive...I mean. Your submissive particularly." He managed to stammer out. He wanted to slap himself in the face. What the hell was wrong with him? Who else would he submit to? And what was up with him suddenly not even being able to get a few words out?

Rory blinked at him. She had asked him to think about it but she expected him to take a bit longer.

"You've thought about this?" She needed him to be absolutely certain of what he was saying. He needed to want it for himself, not simply to make her happy or because he thought it's what she wanted from him.

"Yeah. I've never done it before so I ask that you're patient with me, but it's something I want to do."

"Okay. Now you're a new submissive, both to me and in general. Do you have any ideas how you want this to work?" Rory asked. It had been a while since she'd had a new submissive, much less one who's never been a submissive before or one she's been romantically involved with outside of the bedroom. She could take the reigns and tell him what to do and what to expect but she wanted him to feel comfortable with the new dynamic. She'd let him lead the conversation for now.

"I have a list of questions." He said pulling out a folded piece of paper from his pocket.

"Oh wow. Okay." She was surprised, he really had done his research. Harry cleared his throat as he scanned the paper in front of him.

"What do you expect out of me as a submissive?" Harry asked.

"Honesty." Rory answered simply.

"Rory come on." He pleaded. He was nervous enough and he didn't need any short answers from her.

"I mean it. Honesty is key Harry. If we don't have honesty than this won't work. There are constant check-in's and I need you to honestly tell me how you're doing. I also need you to honestly tell me what you want from me."

"Okay," he nodded to himself, "How many past submissives have you had?" He wasn't entirely sure he wanted to know but figured it was better than not knowing.

"3. Only one other was an actual romantic relationship as well."

"You had submissives that you weren't in a relationship with? What?" That was a thing? He had no idea.

"Yes. It was merely an arrangement. No actual sex involved." She clarified.

"Okay. Have you or anyone else had to use a safeword?"

"Yes. Sometimes someone, be it a dominant or a submissive, is okay with something initially but change their mind midway through." She said.

"And that's okay?" He asked. He could feel his nerves melting away as they discussed everything. She never made it awkward or made him feel embarrassed.
