I like the build up and pre-history. Looking forward to more.
I love the jumps in time, you did a masterful job showing how the relationships evolved. The scene at the pool was my favorite - just amazing, romantic, and so clever. Jen seems like someone I'd love to hang out with. The rollercoaster explanation helped me understand the attraction to a submissive. Looking forward to more!
I think what I like most about this story so far is the way you've set things up and constructed the characters to absolutely maximize the sense of barely maintained self-control. Both Yoshi and Jen are clearly driven people with tremendous willpower. Because we see how hard they're able to push themselves in their daily lives, we take it for granted that they really have an almost iron self-control, both of them. So when the dom/sub roles cause them both so much difficulty to maintain, it makes the intensity feel far greater than if they were simply ordinary people or prone to self-indulgence. Seeing two individuals capable of so much nonetheless being taken beyond their limits is a hell of a ride.
