Most original storyline in a long time! Well written, too. Congratulations!
Especially at the end. Why the confusion? She's committed. It's over. This mess is done.
A common erotic myth is the forceful executive, publicly Alpha Bull, stereotype who is suppose to secretly crave being tied up and spanked by a corset-armoured , crop-wielding dominatrix.
Butt in reality? The very few men I ever met, who would ever admit to such a fetish, tended to be third or fourth ranking (from the top) lower-middle-management sad sacks. Whose actual jobs were as retail store or fast-food managers Perpetually redundant drones in the American corporate hierarchy.
What I like about this story, how it seems to be developing, is that the characters seem true to themselves. Theo and Jen just seem to be ordinary people who are developing a not-so-unique way of spicing up their love-life, without corrupting their relationship.
I do not know where Quince intends to take this clever storyline, I hypothesize that Theo and Jen could enjoy a vanilla version of cosplay with a vanilla twist of kink.
Oh this is so deep, but so well thought out, sounds like a real life has been put on paper here.
The level of craft is amazing. Dialogue so believable without contrivance. Deep humor and, even more important, affection for the characters. Consistent in all of the stories. Why I come back again and again. Wish you had more. FCox
