Prologue:
Liam found himself lying hogtied in the darkness of his aunt’s closet, his wrists bound tightly with a clothesline his aunt had found in her basement, she had wadded up and stuffed one of her large white handkerchiefs into his mouth as a gag. The slight fear and exhilaration he felt in his mind were palpable as he came to terms with his aunt's dominance over him. He had craved this feeling of submission and helplessness for a long time now and experiencing it at the hands of his kind and loving Aunt was a weird feeling for him.
He had usually imagined himself being dominated by an imaginary Girlfriend or an experienced Dominatrix, but never did he think a day would come that his Aunt Sandra would step up and be the one to fulfill his submissive desires. In the dim light, he could barely make out the door of the closet as she had locked him up alone in the darkness. The sudden uncertainty of his desires being fulfilled weighed a little on his heart, yet he couldn't deny the heady mix of submission and vulnerability he currently felt, it was everything he imagined he would feel and more.
The darkness seemed to amplify the sound of his pounding heart, the only noise breaking the silence. Liam's nose was filled with the unmistakable scent of his Aunt’s perfume, an intoxicating reminder of his own helplessness and vulnerability. Whenever he turned right, he felt the scent of fresh leather waft over from his Aunt’s leather boots which she had stored in the closet. Alone in the darkness, Liam experienced both fear and arousal. Despite the fear, he was acutely aware of the coarseness of the rope against his skin and the soft but filling wad stuffed in his mouth, a stark reminder of his voluntary surrender to her control. The now damp wad of her handkerchief made sure he was quiet and didn’t disturb his Aunt turned Mistress’s beauty sleep. She had made ample sure of that with his tight bondage. He lay there thinking back to how a small moment of vulnerability had led to his current situation.

Part 1:
As the summer of 2022 progressed, Liam was on his bed, his mind swirling with conflicting thoughts and emotions. Sunlight streamed through his bedroom window, casting playful shadows as it filtered through the trees outside, dancing with the soft breeze. At 21, he found himself at a pivotal moment, torn between the comforting familiarity of his undergraduate studies in Computer Science and the enticing prospects of entering the job market or pursuing graduate studies. His well-meaning parents had always imposed rigid expectations on him, keeping him firmly anchored to his hometown instead of allowing him to explore the world outside on his own. With strict curfews and the need for permission to attend parties or go on trips with friends, their aspirations loomed over him like a dark cloud, stifling his true self in a path better suited to them than to his own desires.
Growing up, Liam felt the weight of their towering expectations crushing him. In his traditional household, every morning began and ended with lectures on diligence and success, leaving little room for personal expression. His parents, while well-meaning, often projected their dreams onto him. “Your future depends on your grades, and grades depend on your behavior,†they would echo with unyielding sincerity. The pressure mounted like a tidal wave, engulfing him in anxious thoughts of how he was perceived—by his peers, his family, society at large.
Living in the charming city of Lanmire had its perks, yet the routine soon felt suffocating. Having spent his entire life in such a city, which was also home to one of the state's best schools, Liam had never escaped his parents' protective embrace. His days were consumed by classes and a part-time job at a local bookstore, where he often lost himself among the dusty shelves—part sanctuary, part prison. Each book whispered of adventure, of lives lived boldly beyond the confines of his everyday existence.
Liam had experienced a few relationships since high school, but they remained mostly platonic, limited to some hand-holding and kisses—nothing too intense. The lack of privacy at home stifled any further exploration. Consequently, he turned to the internet, indulging his curiosity about relationships and sexuality. His journey began with erotic novels, leading him to videos, yet he often felt unsatisfied by mainstream pornography.
Gradually, he strayed from conventional content, exploring different genres until he discovered BDSM.Stumbling upon a femdom story featuring a teacher who dominated her student was what initially captivated him, awakening a deep sense of satisfaction and intrigue. It struck all the right chords, providing him immense pleasure. This newfound fascination was further ignited by engaging with online communities that discussed BDSM practices, where he began to grasp the vital elements of consent, trust, and emotional connection that underpinned such relationships. Here, he found a sanctuary, a place where he could engage with others about desires that had always felt too taboo to voice. He experienced liberation learning about the intricacies of consent and trust, discovering how profound emotional connections formed the backbone of such relationships. Each interaction on those forums deepened his understanding of his own desires.
It was somewhat ironic that Liam yearned for freedom from his parents yet found himself drawn to the idea of being sexually forced into submission to any domineering woman who would have him. After considerable reflection, he realized there wasn't as much contradiction in his feelings as he initially thought. Through anonymous conversations with like-minded individuals online, he began to understand the roots of his desire for submission. Having grown up with parents and teachers constantly looking out for him and supervising him, he resented that oversight but also appreciated the sense of security it provided. Over time, he had come to realize that he had developed a comfort in letting others make decisions for him, a longing perhaps reinforced by his strict upbringing.
Despite his internal conflict, he knew that to truly explore these desires, he needed to be far from Lanmire and the watchful eyes of his parents. He had attempted to encourage his girlfriends to adopt a more assertive role in their relationships, either by subtly embracing his own submissive tendencies or directly asking them to be bolder and more aggressive. Unfortunately, these efforts rarely led to the transformative experiences he sought; most of his partners were content with a platonic dynamic and were reluctant to stir the waters.
“Liam!†his mother called from the kitchen, her voice echoing through the hallway, pulling him out of his thoughts. “Dinner’s ready. Come help set the table!â€
He sighed, the inviting aroma of spaghetti and garlic bread tempting but overshadowed by the weight of his thoughts. As he shuffled down the corridor, he couldn’t shake the sense of being trapped beneath their watchful eyes. His mother’s love was palpable, yet a part of him longed for something beyond the confines of their expectations.
“Liam, are you even listening?†his father’s voice cut through his reverie as they gathered around the dinner table that evening.
“You need to start thinking about your future. Your grades are very good, so your options are also incredibly diverse, you can either start working at a software firm or decide to pursue higher studies. But you need to make the decision.â€
“Yeah, Dad, I know,†Liam replied, forcing a smile while his heart sank.
“I’m applying to Glenmore Tech.â€
“Glenmore?†His mother’s fork paused mid-air.
“That’s quite a distance from home, it’s even out of our state. Are you sure you’re ready for that?â€
“I think I am.â€
“Well, at least it’s not a complete unknown, your Aunt Sandra lives in Glenmore. I’m sure she could let you stay at her place.â€
Liam had anticipated that his parents would try to make him stay at his aunt’s house instead of the college hostel, but he was determined to leave. Compared to his parents, Aunt Sandra was pretty cool, and he knew he could persuade her to grant him much more freedom. What they failed to understand was that this choice was about more than just his preferred college; it was about seizing an opportunity for freedom. The idea of moving to Glenmore was irresistibly enticing. The thought of escaping Lanmire and living in a place where he could explore to his heart's content ignited a rush of exhilaration.
His friends were just as excited, eager to share stories of their adventures as they prepared to chase their dreams beyond their hometown. “You’re going to love it,†Jake said, playfully nudging him. “Glenmore is the place to be. New people, new experiences—just don’t forget us!â€
“Never,†Liam replied, smiling warmly, fully aware that this was about more than just a change of scenery; it was a chance to forge a new identity, free from his parents' expectations.
With a blend of excitement and anxiety swirling in his chest, Liam began packing his bags. As he stuffed clothes and books into boxes, his heart raced at the thought of independence. The constant hum of family life, once comforting, now felt suffocating as he prepared to leave it all behind. Every item he packed symbolized a step closer to his dreams.
“Just a few more hours,†he murmured to himself while loading the last of his belongings into the old sedan his parents had given him. The familiar streets of Lanmire blurred past as he drove toward the thrilling unknown ahead. It was a long journey; even though his parents had offered to ship the car while he flew to Glenmore, Liam wanted to savor his newfound freedom with a road trip through the state. The drive took him almost a day, including an overnight stop at a motel, before he finally arrived.
As he pulled into the city limits of Glenmore, the vibrant colors of autumn leaves dazzled his vision. He parked outside Aunt Sandra's charming two-story house, which looked inviting in the glow of the setting sun. Warm light poured from the kitchen window, and he could almost taste the familiar scents of her cooking wafting through the air.
Stepping out of the car, he felt a mix of anxiety and hope. This was it—his chance to start anew. Glenmore awaited him as a blank slate where he could discover himself away from the watchful eyes of his parents.Taking a deep breath, he approached the door and rang the bell, his heart pounding in his chest. It was time to step into the unknown, and with it, a thrilling sense of hope swelled within him. The journey was just beginning, and he was ready to embrace whatever lay ahead in this new chapter of his life.
Sandra opened the door, her tall silhouette framed by the warm glow of morning light. At 45, she was a striking woman with long, dark hair cascading down her back and a gentle confidence that made her presence felt in any room she entered. As Liam’s aunt and the sister of his mother Mary, Sandra was all too familiar with the dynamics of family relationships. She had chosen the path of a single mother after suffering heartbreak in her youth. The one man she had ever truly loved left her when he discovered she was pregnant with their daughter, Lena. Heartache drove her to focus on raising Lena alone, nurturing her with affection and understanding, traits contrasting sharply with the strict upbringing that had shaped her own childhood. Although her parents’ traditional views often included severe discipline and corporal punishment, she made a conscious choice never to replicate that environment with Lena, fostering an atmosphere of support and open communication instead.
Now, as a single mother living alone, Sandra exuded a friendly warmth that made her approachable and beloved in her community. However, the scars of her past still lingered, ever a reminder of the vulnerability that came from trusting others. Romance felt like an antiquated concept, a closed chapter in her life, as she focused on Lena’s future and her owner as an accountant.
When Lena left for college out of state, the silence in the house amplified Sandra's feelings of loneliness. Despite her attractive appearance and friendly nature, she had retreated from dating, wary of emotional entanglements. Thus, she found herself opening her home to Liam, who was seeking an escape from the rigid rules set by his parents. For Sandra, the prospect of having her nephew around felt like fresh air—a way to fill the void left by Lena's absence.
As Sandra opened the door, a wave of warmth washed over Liam. Her familiar presence, framed by the soft light spilling from the foyer, enveloped him in a comforting embrace. She welcomed him inside with the kind of hug that spoke volumes—a mix of affection, excitement, and a hint of reassurance.
“Welcome, Liam!†she beamed, stepping back to look at him. Her bright, expressive eyes searched his face, trying to glean how he felt after his long journey.
“It’s so good to see you! How was the drive?â€
“It was amazing, actually,†he replied, a smile breaking through the remnants of his travel fatigue.
“The scenic route was beautiful. I’m glad I decided to take my time.â€
“Well, you certainly deserve to enjoy it. Now let’s get you settled!†She waved him inside, her energy filling the air like the scent of a homemade meal. As he walked into the living room, he noticed the familiar décor: family pictures on the walls, the brightly colored throw pillows on the couch, and the inviting aroma coming from the kitchen.
“Let me help with your bags,†Sandra said, glancing toward the pile of luggage he had yet to unload. He nodded, grateful for her offer. Together, they carried his things into the hallway, the sounds of zippers and the soft thud of bags breaking the serene quiet of the house.
He led the way upstairs, where the soft hues of paint on the walls and the wooden banister created a cozy atmosphere. "Your room is upstairs to the left!" she exclaimed as they approached the door. Her enthusiasm was contagious.
“Thanks,†he said, pushing the door open to reveal the space—a sanctuary where memories of summer visits and laughter echoed back to him. The bed was made with fresh linens, and the closet and cupboard were cleared for his use.
“It’s all yours. I’ll let you unpack and get settled. I’m making breakfast in a bit—your favorite,†she said playfully, stepping back to give him space.
“Sounds perfect,†he replied, feeling excitement bubbling up inside him. As he started unpacking, the weight of the trip slipped away with each item he placed in the drawers. Clothes folded neatly; books stacked on top of one another—they all seemed to signify a new chapter beginning. The joy of the familiar mixed with anxious anticipation of what the next few days would bring. Liam paused for a moment, standing by the window that overlooked the foliage splashed with vibrant reds and oranges.
“Aunt Sandra?†he called down the stairs.
“Yes?†she answered, her voice filled with curiosity.
“Just wanted to say… it’s really nice to be here. I feel like I can finally breathe,†he admitted, his words laced with sincerity. "It's a relief to get away from everything."
“I feel the same way, Liam. It’s lovely having you here,†she replied, her tone straightforward yet warm.
“I’ve been looking forward to spending time with you. Just remember, you can talk to me about anything. We’re in this together.†He smiled, reassured by her presence. Unpacking became easy when underpinned by the promise of open communication and understanding. Once everything was in its place, he decided to take a moment to collect his thoughts. After a quick wash-up, he heard her call from the kitchen.
“Breakfast is ready!†The smell of pancakes and fresh coffee wafted through the air, and he couldn’t help but feel a rush of excitement. Liam bounded down the stairs, finding her at the table, a spread of delicious food laid out. She looked up, her expression pleased.
“I know you were on the road for a long time, so I wanted to make something special.â€
“You didn’t have to go all out,†he chuckled, taking a seat. “You already welcomed me so warmly!â€
“Oh, but it’s a celebration!†she replied, pouring a generous cup of coffee for him.
“Besides, I like spoiling you a little when I can.â€As they sat together, a comfortable rhythm established itself between them—the light banter, shared laughter, and frankly, the very real and intimate connection they had cultivated over the past months. The conversation flowed from casual topics to more personal reflections as they savored the meal, each bite tasting like a reminder that he had truly escaped the confines of his previous life.
Maybe, just maybe, this new chapter in Glenmore would reveal more than he initially imagined. The sun crested higher in the sky, spilling golden light across the room, and with it, Liam felt something stirring deep within—a mix of hope, freedom, and the faint thrill of uncharted territory ahead.
***
Liam's new life in Glenmore started in the early days of August 2023, marking the beginning of an exciting new chapter of his life. He had convinced his parents and moved in with his aunt to attend the Glenmore Technical University, to pursue his Graduate studies in Computer Science, which was a comprehensive 2 year course with a break in the spring for about 3 months.
Leaving his overbearing parents behind to live with Aunt Sandra felt like a breath of fresh air. It was an opportunity for him to step into a new environment where he could finally feel free. Aunt Sandra was everything his parents weren't—laid-back, understanding, and quick to offer him the freedom he had long desired. Her relaxed approach to life made him feel immediately at ease. She set reasonable boundaries, which allowed him to adapt to this new lifestyle without feeling overwhelmed.
This new living situation felt both thrilling and comforting, giving him the space to grow and explore who he was. The first few months of living under her roof flew by quickly, he spent most of it hanging out with his college friends, going to parties, spending time in study groups, and having overnight stays at the homes of his friends. Each day was filled with experiences he had secretly craved while dealing with the strict rules imposed by his parents. College life provided a wealth of opportunities to socialize and learn, and without the constant pressure from home, he felt more confident and willing to try new things.
He enjoyed the independence that came with managing his own schedule, cooking for himself, and making friends. Liam soon found himself settling into this new rhythm. He was no longer the timid boy his parents had raised; instead, he was becoming a young man ready to take charge of his own life and embrace the opportunities ahead. Living in Glenmore meant he could finally focus on his education and personal growth without the weight of his passive past holding him back.
Yet, amid the joyous exploration of newfound autonomy, there lingered within him certain desires he had never had the chance to fully explore. They were interests that had developed over the course of years and had now become an instinctive desire, the desire to fall in love, to find a woman who loved him but also was willing to indulge him in his fantasies of submission. He had thought that once he achieved a modicum of freedom his desire to submit would go away, replaced by more healthy thoughts, but instead, it had only increased upon reaching Glenmore. He had to face it at this point, he was innately submissive, and he craved the attention and domination of an authoritative woman in his life, especially in the bedroom.
Liam quickly settled into life at Aunt Sandra's home, where he split the chores. While she handled cooking and the bulk of the cleaning, he took on his share of household tasks, feeling more than happy to contribute. However, in those initial weeks, he was largely preoccupied with reveling in his newfound freedom. The weight of his previous constraints had been lifted, and he was eager to explore this uncharted territory of independence.
Aunt Sandra understood his need for space; she knew all too well how his mother’s desire for control and discipline had stifled his spirit. With a gentle touch, she encouraged him to enjoy his time and pursue his interests rather than burdening him with excessive responsibilities. Her empathy allowed a bond to form between them, one built on mutual respect and understanding.
As the months passed, though, something began to shift within Liam. Once the initial excitement faded and routine settled in, he felt a growing urge to contribute more around the house. The driving force behind this change stemmed from several fruitless months of online encounters, where aspirations for a romantic connection—especially one that explored the dom/sub dynamic he longed for—remained unfulfilled. Each interaction left him yearning for a deeper connection, and as time wore on, he started to crave a sense of submission in his everyday life.
This longing began to manifest itself through his chores and tasks around the house. He found solace in the rhythm of the daily routines, the acts of cooking, cleaning, and organizing gradually becoming less of a burden and more of a channel for his inner desires. He discovered a certain satisfaction in the simple act of serving—whether it was preparing dinner for Aunt Sandra or tidying up a cluttered room. It was grounding and fulfilling in ways he hadn't expected.
After about eight months at his aunt’s, he found himself on break from college. His parents had embarked on a vacation cruise, offering to pick him up on their way back. But with semester-ending exams looming, he had politely declined, believing it was better for them to enjoy their time as a couple rather than as parents. This decision provided him with even more space to explore his feelings and curiosities without the weight of parental expectations hovering over him.
With his parents away, Liam felt a renewed motivation to help out around the house. He embraced the role of caretaker enthusiastically, going the extra mile to surprise Aunt Sandra with little gestures, such as preparing her favorite meals or tackling chores she typically managed alone. Each task became a way for him to channel the submission he had been craving, translating his desires into acts of service that strengthened their bond.
Little by little, as he immersed himself in household dynamics, he began to experience a kind of contentment he had never known. The feeling of contributing, of being valued, provided a remarkable balance to his life that all the online escapades had failed to deliver. This new approach to his daily routine created a sense of fulfillment, allowing him to balance his independence with a newfound appreciation for the simple joys of responsibility and connection.
During a typical week, Liam balances his college classes and personal life with Aunt Sandra's moral support. He starts each weekday with early morning classes at the technical university, returning home in the evening, where Aunt Sandra usually prepares dinner. Although she isn't familiar with the specifics of his studies, she provides a warm, encouraging presence, listening to his excitement about projects and offering advice when he hesitates over decisions, creating a supportive environment for him.
On study nights, they sit at the dining table, with Sandra working on her own tasks while Liam reviews his notes. Their collaborative yet independent atmosphere fosters connection, even if she doesn't delve deeply into his academic material. Each weekend brings a mix of exploration and relaxation, with trips to local festivals and Saturday game nights that emphasize their bond. Sunday afternoons are often devoted to lighthearted movies and conversations reflecting on life, solidifying a relationship rooted not just in shared interests but in understanding and emotional support as Liam navigates his college journey.
The weekends were pretty normal, there were exceptions of course. His Aunt was pretty interested in his life and tried to make sure he lived the best life possible for him. She would reminisce about old days and also try to pry information about his dating life every now and then—for example, one time when she brought up Role-playing games.
***
The living room buzzed with the comfortable hum of a typical family evening. The warm glow of the table lamp illuminated Liam and Aunt Sandra as they began to clean up the remnants of their dinner. Laughter still echoed in the corners from the light-hearted banter they’d shared over the meal. As they finished putting away dishes, Sandra caught a glimpse of nostalgia and decided to share a little piece of her past.
“You know,†she began, her voice a mix of warmth and playfulness, “I used to play role-playing games back in the day. Your mom and I would team up with a few friends, and we’d get lost in worlds of adventure. We had quite the imagination!â€
“Really?†Liam replied, intrigued.
“What games did you play?â€
“Oh, the classics! Dungeons & Dragons, of course. We’d spend hours crafting characters, rolling dice, and going on epic quests. It was so much fun!†There was a glimmer in her eyes as she reminisced about the thrill of those shared adventures.
“I can’t imagine you as a wizard or something,†Liam teased, poking fun at the image of his aunt in fantasy garb.
“Did you ever cast any crazy spells?†Sandra laughed, shaking her head.
“Well, you might be surprised! But speaking of role-playing—have you ever thought about trying it yourself?†She watched him closely, eyebrow arched with playful curiosity.
Liam paused, a flicker of color rising to his cheeks. “Um, not exactly that type of role-playing,†he stammered, his thoughts shifting unexpectedly to the more adult-oriented scenarios involving dominance and submission he had been involved in online. Images of his previous online Dom/sub roleplays crossed his mind, but he quickly cleared those thoughts away.
“Oh?†Sandra's interest piqued, her teasing tone shifting slightly. “What type are you talking about then?†He glanced at her, feeling a flustered heat. “You know, just… general stuff. Not anything too serious.†The blush deepened on his cheeks, a clear tell that made Sandra’s curiosity flare even more.
“You mean to tell me you’ve been getting a little… naughty?†she said, leaning forward with a playful glint in her eyes.
“Are you saying there’s some role-play involved with your girlfriends?â€
Liam rubbed the back of his neck, trying to find words to deflect but only managing a vague answer, “Uh, I mean… maybe? It’s just something I’ve seen... online and stuff.â€
The moment felt charged, and the mixture of embarrassment and intrigue danced between them.
“Hmm, online, you say? Sounds like you’ve been exploring,†she teased, sounding both amused and genuinely curious. Her tone danced between teasing affection and a shared secret, drawing out the layers of their relationship that were slowly shifting.
“It’s all just hypothetical, I’m not admitting to anything,†he replied, wishing the floor would open up and swallow him. “Nothing serious. Just… thoughts, you know?â€
“Thoughts that spark your interest, perhaps?†she pressed, an impish smile surfacing.
“Just remember, exploring new ideas is a part of growing up! I mean, if it involves costumes and adventures, who wouldn’t want to dive in?â€
“What’s next? You’re gonna encourage me to write a fantasy novel or something?†Liam laughed nervously, trying to bring some levity back into the conversation, but he could sense her genuine interest in his thoughts.
“Well, wouldn’t that be entertaining? A tale of your adventures with your ‘gorgeous’ girlfriends—complete with heroes and damsels in distress?†Sandra continued to tease, and with every word, Liam felt his pulse quicken.
“Gorgeous? Okay, now you’re just exaggerating,†he replied, his embarrassment only growing. His mind raced with the idea of how his aunt might envision his escapades, which only made him feel more flustered and ever more aware of the subtle shift happening in their relationship. What would his Aunt think if she knew he related more with the damsel in distress than the hero?
“You’ll have to let me know if you decide to try anything adventurous,†she added with a wink, “though I can’t promise I won’t embarrass you with a few stories of my own role-playing past. Just remember,†she said with a mock-serious tone, “if you go down that road, I want the juicy details!â€
Liam chuckled, a mixture of mortification and amusement bubbling within him. “I’ll keep that in mind,†he replied, grateful for her light-heartedness.
***
During another such weekend, Liam and Aunt Sandra lounged on the couch, the soft glow of the television flickering shadows across the room. The movie—an exploration of student-teacher dynamics—drew them into an intense scene where a student, brimming with youthful bravado, defiantly clashed with his teacher.
“I don’t need your help, Mr. Harris!†the student yelled, his voice brimming with indignation that only someone sheltered by a lack of experience could muster.
“You’re just trying to control me!â€
“And you think refusing to listen is a better solution? This project isn’t about doing whatever you want,†Mr. Harris replied, his patience visibly wearing thin.
“All you care about is following the rules! It’s not always about rules; it’s about passion!†the student shot back, his tone increasingly petulant.
Liam snorted softly, shifting in his seat. He could see the folly in the student’s argument, recalling his own moments of immaturity where he had dug his heels in, refusing to let go of pride, just like this stubborn kid. The tension on the screen resonated with him, reminding him of the struggles he faced with authority figures in his own life, especially his parents. They had always demanded the best of him but had little patience for the hesitations that came with youth. Suddenly, the conversation in the room shifted as Sandra turned toward him, a playful glint in her eyes.
“You know, Liam,†she teased, nudging him lightly, “the best way to learn is to be silent and obey those who are older and more experienced than you—say someone like me.
â€The jest in her voice hit him like a jolt. He laughed lightly but felt something deeper click within him. The idea of submission, of surrendering to someone he trusted, swirled around his mind like autumn leaves caught in a gentle breeze.
His thoughts drifted to high school, a poignant memory flooding back of when he volunteered at the local community center. He had felt overwhelmed yet fulfilled, a sense of purpose blossoming within him as he helped others. It had been in that role of service that he first understood the beauty of stepping aside for others.
‘What if… What if I told Aunt Sandra about my submissive desires? Seeking submission to Aunt Sandra could offer me what I’m looking for. She’s someone I trust to care for me. At least I don’t think she would judge me or push me away... I think.’
But just as quickly as the thought arrived, apprehension ensued. What if she doesn’t understand? What if she tells my parents? Liam felt a cold knot form in his stomach. What if she thinks I’m some kind of freak? Fear gripped him tighter. Or worse: what if she believed he was crazy and needed help? It was a risk that felt too great, too frightening to confront.
The internal arguments played out as they always did when he contemplated sharing this part of himself. He understood that people generally sought control and recognition, not submission. Everyone wanted to soar, to strive for excellence. He wanted that too. Yet, there was a longing within him for a different path. He didn’t desire to be trampled upon by random people; rather, he wished to submit to a few who would treat him with genuine care.
He craved the relief that came from letting go of burdens and choices, a yearning deeply rooted in the constraints imposed by his overbearing upbringing. That pattern of pressure and expectation had subtly shaped his attraction to BDSM and submission. The sexual aspect was not at the forefront—it was more about feeling safe enough to relinquish control to someone deserving.
Yet, with that inclination came the familiar avalanche of concerns. What if she dismisses him? What if this conversation destroyed their relationship?
Liam turned to Sandra again, his heart pounding as he sought the right moment, the right words. She looked so relaxed, her attention on the film, her face soft in the glow of the screen, blissfully unaware of the storm of thoughts swirling within him.
“Aunt Sandra,†he murmured, the gravity of his suppressed revelation weighing heavily on his tongue, “can I talk to you about something really personal?â€
She shifted her focus to him, her expression shifting from amusement to gentle encouragement.
“Of course, Liam. Whatever it is, you can tell me. I’m here for you.†Her warmth and openness coaxed a flicker of courage from him, yet as he opened his mouth, doubt washed over him. The words teetered on the edge of his lips, momentarily dancing in the air, but the familiar fear snagged his resolve.
Instead, he forced a smile, his heart heavy. “I… uh… I’ll tell you later. Thanks for listening.†He tried to mask the disappointment with a casual shrug, turning his gaze back to the movie, grappling with the turmoil he had chosen to mask with silence.
The flickers of the film flickered along the periphery of his consciousness, but his thoughts remained preoccupied—chained to what he had almost confessed, lingering on the idea of surrender, of trust, and the potential for a deeper connection he longed to explore.
But most other days were pretty normal until the fated day, the day that would change both of their lives forever. It all started with a regular night involving cooking and doing chores around the house.
***
It had been close to 8 months since Liam had moved in with his Aunt, It was May of 2023, and he had completed two semesters and was taking a two-month vacation. He had tried to pursue his desires secretly in Glenmore by trying to connect with a dominant woman online, but it never really clicked. Either they were not interested in a brand new submissive who might just be curious or were intent on squeezing money out of him in the name of BDSM sessions.
In his past relationships, Liam had done some experimenting, but his partners had consistently missed the mark. Some were hesitant, unwilling to tread the waters of his deeper desires, while others showered him with affection in ways that were juvenile.
His thoughts rattled around as he watched Aunt Sandra bustling in the kitchen, her presence radiating warmth and familiarity. Liam was a bit distracted but he pushed the swirling thoughts aside, anchoring himself in the mundane ebb and flow of their tasks.
“Let me do those, Aunt Sandra,†he offered with a confident smile, eager to lighten her load.
“In moments like these, you really ought to take advantage of your capable nephew.â€
She chuckled, the sound rich and heartening. “Thank you, dear! It’s kind of you to offer, but I’m not that old yet. I can manage.â€
Liam nodded, stepping in to help with the dishes, feeling their rhythm together as they continued in a comfortable silence. As they worked, he instinctively took on the more tedious tasks, wiping down counters and organizing the utensils without being asked.
“You know,†Aunt Sandra began, glancing at him with a thoughtful expression, “you really don’t have to do everything. You’re always so eager to help; I sometimes wonder if you even know how to say no.â€
A light blush crept onto his cheeks, but he shrugged, offering a teasing smile. “Maybe I just like making things easier for you.â€
Her eyes sparkled with a mix of affection and curiosity. “Well, it’s sweet, but it’s also a bit worrying. You should enjoy your own time too, you know.â€
“Yeah, but I’d much rather see you relaxed than hustle about.†Aunt Sandra raised an eyebrow, observing him closely.
“You do realize that being too accommodating can lead to being taken advantage of, right? Also, not every girl will appreciate your willingness to take on everything either, girls these days seem to find it patronizing.â€
Her comment lingered in the air, tinged with a seriousness that caught him off guard.
“I guess... I could see how both of those things could happen.â€
“Yes,†she pressed gently, her hand coming to rest on his shoulder, “and sometimes it’s okay to want to be a little more... in control of what you do for others.â€
“I just like helping you,†he murmured, a bit too defensively.
“Helping is one thing. Wanting to serve is something different,†she noted, her tone now laced with genuine concern.
Liam swallowed hard, his pulse quickening. Before he could reign in his thoughts, he found himself saying, “I wouldn’t mind serving you in any way you need...â€
The room fell silent, the weight of his words hanging between them. Aunt Sandra’s eyes widened slightly, searching his face for clarity. “Serving... how, exactly?â€
Caught off guard by his revelation, Liam hesitated, his mind racing. “Uh, I mean like... I don’t mind if it means more chores or... well, you know...†He trailed off, heat flooding his face, the implications harshly echoing within him.
“What do you really mean, honey?†she asked softly, a blend of concern and intrigue was visible on her features.
Panic surged, battling against a compelling urge to divulge his feelings. “I dunno... I just... there’s something about it...†His tongue felt heavy as the tension shifted, loosening words that had stayed tucked away for far too long.
“I think I might... like being guided by you, someone who is more… mature and in charge.†Aunt Sandra leaned closer, her brow furrowing in thought. “You want me to... guide you? Wait, I think you’ve tried to bring something like this up before, haven’t you? Guide you in what way?â€
Liam’s heart raced as an unexpected thrill surged within him, spurred on by her inquisitive gaze. “Maybe...†he hesitated, fear battling with the excitement of honesty. “Maybe I want to be told what to do.â€
Her expression shifted from concern to a mix of surprise and curiosity sparking in her eyes. “You mean you want me to take charge, literally?â€
“I don’t know,†he stammered, “but it feels right. Like... I’d want to follow your lead.â€
Aunt Sandra’s interest deepened. “Can you tell me what that looks like for you?â€
“I just... feel like I’d be okay with doing whatever you said,†he whispered, the remnants of his composure faltering under her intense gaze.“Doing whatever I said?†she echoed, her voice now a whisper of curiosity and something else—something more personal.
“Yeah,†Liam confessed. “It’s like... I wouldn’t mind being your... servant in a way.â€
The word slipped from his lips before he could stop it. Silence enveloped them as Aunt Sandra’s eyes widened in astonishment.
“My servant?†she repeated slowly, taking a moment to process his confession.
“Why would you ever want that?â€
“I dunno...†he admitted, his cheeks burning with the weight of his words.
“I like being bossed around by women, I guess. It's... freeing?â€
With a tentative softness, Aunt Sandra squeezed his hand lightly, her voice taking on a serious tone.
“What does that mean to you, exactly?â€
“I want to do what you say. To please you,†he said, his voice quivering. He couldn’t believe he had just confessed that to his very own aunt, He had held his desires in for a long time now, and with his Aunt slowly prying them out he could barely keep them in.
Her gaze remained locked on his, a blend of surprise and an unexpected seriousness illuminating her expression.
“Tell me more.â€
Liam exhaled, diving into the depths of his long-held feelings, the barriers beginning to crumble under the warmth of her inquiry. “It’s the idea of being... directed. Just that sense of surrender...â€
“Of surrender?†Aunt Sandra murmured, her eyes deepened with recognition, maybe she had started to realize what Laim was into but still prompted him to share more to confirm.
"I don't know how to say it..." Liam stuttered nervously.
"Tell me," Aunt Sandra gently squeezed his hand, her voice taking on a tone of steel that made Liam's knees wobble.
“Yes,†he whispered, feeling both pressured and thrilled.
“Being... kind of like… your slave…â€A slight gasp escaped her, an involuntary reaction to the weight of his admission hanging in the space between them. She slowly started pacing around the room, it was one of her little quirks, she liked to pace around the house when she was deeply in thought or was on the phone discussing business. Liam looked on nervously, hesitant to say anything more. She soon looked up after a minute or so and took his hand in hers.
“... This is truly what you want?â€Liam nodded slowly, heart pounding as the reality of his confession washed over them both.
The grip of her hand around his tightened instinctively as if she were anchoring herself to a familiar reality against the unexpected tide of his confession. Her expression shifted to one of deep curiosity intertwined with concern.
“I think I have an idea about what you are talking about but, can you tell me exactly what being a slave means to you?â€
Liam shifted nervously, the implications of his choice of words crashing down upon him.
“I dunno,†he admitted, his voice faltering slightly, “like I have to obey all of your orders. Be punished if I mess up or disobey. I need to make your life easy?â€
The air hung thick with tension as Aunt Sandra fell silent, her mind racing to comprehend the depths of his yearning. “What else?†she prompted gently, her tone coaxing him to continue.
In that moment of vulnerability, he found himself going further than he intended. The cat was out of the bag anyway, might as well go all the way.
“Maybe I’ll be tied up and gagged when I’m not being useful to you...†The suggestion hung awkwardly between them, laced with unspoken implications.
Sandra inhaled sharply, her gaze locking onto his as the realities of his desires began to unfold. “I think being a slave means giving up your freedom—the freedom to speak, to do what you like, to live how you want. You hand it over to someone else and acknowledge them as your superior, your… owner. You start living life to make them happy. Is that what you want?â€
“Yes,†Liam whispered, the weight of his words hanging somberly in the air.“
This is all a lot for me to process…†Aunt Sandra murmured, her brow furrowing as the enormity of his confession settled into her thoughts.
“I need some time to think. We’ll discuss this tomorrow evening.â€

Prologue:
Liam found himself lying hogtied in the darkness of his aunt’s closet, his wrists bound tightly with a clothesline his aunt had found in her basement, she had wadded up and stuffed one of her large white handkerchiefs into his mouth as a gag. The slight fear and exhilaration he felt in his mind were palpable as he came to terms with his aunt's dominance over him. He had craved this feeling of submission and helplessness for a long time now and experiencing it at the hands of his kind and loving Aunt was a weird feeling for him.
He had usually imagined himself being dominated by an imaginary Girlfriend or an experienced Dominatrix, but never did he think a day would come that his Aunt Sandra would step up and be the one to fulfill his submissive desires. In the dim light, he could barely make out the door of the closet as she had locked him up alone in the darkness. The sudden uncertainty of his desires being fulfilled weighed a little on his heart, yet he couldn't deny the heady mix of submission and vulnerability he currently felt, it was everything he imagined he would feel and more.
The darkness seemed to amplify the sound of his pounding heart, the only noise breaking the silence. Liam's nose was filled with the unmistakable scent of his Aunt’s perfume, an intoxicating reminder of his own helplessness and vulnerability. Whenever he turned right, he felt the scent of fresh leather waft over from his Aunt’s leather boots which she had stored in the closet. Alone in the darkness, Liam experienced both fear and arousal. Despite the fear, he was acutely aware of the coarseness of the rope against his skin and the soft but filling wad stuffed in his mouth, a stark reminder of his voluntary surrender to her control. The now damp wad of her handkerchief made sure he was quiet and didn’t disturb his Aunt turned Mistress’s beauty sleep. She had made ample sure of that with his tight bondage. He lay there thinking back to how a small moment of vulnerability had led to his current situation.
***
Part 1:
As the summer of 2022 progressed, Liam was on his bed, his mind swirling with conflicting thoughts and emotions. Sunlight streamed through his bedroom window, casting playful shadows as it filtered through the trees outside, dancing with the soft breeze. At 21, he found himself at a pivotal moment, torn between the comforting familiarity of his undergraduate studies in Computer Science and the enticing prospects of entering the job market or pursuing graduate studies. His well-meaning parents had always imposed rigid expectations on him, keeping him firmly anchored to his hometown instead of allowing him to explore the world outside on his own. With strict curfews and the need for permission to attend parties or go on trips with friends, their aspirations loomed over him like a dark cloud, stifling his true self in a path better suited to them than to his own desires.
Growing up, Liam felt the weight of their towering expectations crushing him. In his traditional household, every morning began and ended with lectures on diligence and success, leaving little room for personal expression. His parents, while well-meaning, often projected their dreams onto him. “Your future depends on your grades, and grades depend on your behavior,†they would echo with unyielding sincerity. The pressure mounted like a tidal wave, engulfing him in anxious thoughts of how he was perceived—by his peers, his family, society at large.
Living in the charming city of Lanmire had its perks, yet the routine soon felt suffocating. Having spent his entire life in such a city, which was also home to one of the state's best schools, Liam had never escaped his parents' protective embrace. His days were consumed by classes and a part-time job at a local bookstore, where he often lost himself among the dusty shelves—part sanctuary, part prison. Each book whispered of adventure, of lives lived boldly beyond the confines of his everyday existence.
Liam had experienced a few relationships since high school, but they remained mostly platonic, limited to some hand-holding and kisses—nothing too intense. The lack of privacy at home stifled any further exploration. Consequently, he turned to the internet, indulging his curiosity about relationships and sexuality. His journey began with erotic novels, leading him to videos, yet he often felt unsatisfied by mainstream pornography.
Gradually, he strayed from conventional content, exploring different genres until he discovered BDSM.Stumbling upon a femdom story featuring a teacher who dominated her student was what initially captivated him, awakening a deep sense of satisfaction and intrigue. It struck all the right chords, providing him immense pleasure. This newfound fascination was further ignited by engaging with online communities that discussed BDSM practices, where he began to grasp the vital elements of consent, trust, and emotional connection that underpinned such relationships. Here, he found a sanctuary, a place where he could engage with others about desires that had always felt too taboo to voice. He experienced liberation learning about the intricacies of consent and trust, discovering how profound emotional connections formed the backbone of such relationships. Each interaction on those forums deepened his understanding of his own desires.
It was somewhat ironic that Liam yearned for freedom from his parents yet found himself drawn to the idea of being sexually forced into submission to any domineering woman who would have him. After considerable reflection, he realized there wasn't as much contradiction in his feelings as he initially thought. Through anonymous conversations with like-minded individuals online, he began to understand the roots of his desire for submission. Having grown up with parents and teachers constantly looking out for him and supervising him, he resented that oversight but also appreciated the sense of security it provided. Over time, he had come to realize that he had developed a comfort in letting others make decisions for him, a longing perhaps reinforced by his strict upbringing.
Despite his internal conflict, he knew that to truly explore these desires, he needed to be far from Lanmire and the watchful eyes of his parents. He had attempted to encourage his girlfriends to adopt a more assertive role in their relationships, either by subtly embracing his own submissive tendencies or directly asking them to be bolder and more aggressive. Unfortunately, these efforts rarely led to the transformative experiences he sought; most of his partners were content with a platonic dynamic and were reluctant to stir the waters.
“Liam!†his mother called from the kitchen, her voice echoing through the hallway, pulling him out of his thoughts. “Dinner’s ready. Come help set the table!â€
He sighed, the inviting aroma of spaghetti and garlic bread tempting but overshadowed by the weight of his thoughts. As he shuffled down the corridor, he couldn’t shake the sense of being trapped beneath their watchful eyes. His mother’s love was palpable, yet a part of him longed for something beyond the confines of their expectations.
“Liam, are you even listening?†his father’s voice cut through his reverie as they gathered around the dinner table that evening.
“You need to start thinking about your future. Your grades are very good, so your options are also incredibly diverse, you can either start working at a software firm or decide to pursue higher studies. But you need to make the decision.â€
“Yeah, Dad, I know,†Liam replied, forcing a smile while his heart sank.
“I’m applying to Glenmore Tech.â€
“Glenmore?†His mother’s fork paused mid-air.
“That’s quite a distance from home, it’s even out of our state. Are you sure you’re ready for that?â€
“I think I am.â€
“Well, at least it’s not a complete unknown, your Aunt Sandra lives in Glenmore. I’m sure she could let you stay at her place.â€
Liam had anticipated that his parents would try to make him stay at his aunt’s house instead of the college hostel, but he was determined to leave. Compared to his parents, Aunt Sandra was pretty cool, and he knew he could persuade her to grant him much more freedom. What they failed to understand was that this choice was about more than just his preferred college; it was about seizing an opportunity for freedom. The idea of moving to Glenmore was irresistibly enticing. The thought of escaping Lanmire and living in a place where he could explore to his heart's content ignited a rush of exhilaration.
His friends were just as excited, eager to share stories of their adventures as they prepared to chase their dreams beyond their hometown. “You’re going to love it,†Jake said, playfully nudging him. “Glenmore is the place to be. New people, new experiences—just don’t forget us!â€
“Never,†Liam replied, smiling warmly, fully aware that this was about more than just a change of scenery; it was a chance to forge a new identity, free from his parents' expectations.
With a blend of excitement and anxiety swirling in his chest, Liam began packing his bags. As he stuffed clothes and books into boxes, his heart raced at the thought of independence. The constant hum of family life, once comforting, now felt suffocating as he prepared to leave it all behind. Every item he packed symbolized a step closer to his dreams.
“Just a few more hours,†he murmured to himself while loading the last of his belongings into the old sedan his parents had given him. The familiar streets of Lanmire blurred past as he drove toward the thrilling unknown ahead. It was a long journey; even though his parents had offered to ship the car while he flew to Glenmore, Liam wanted to savor his newfound freedom with a road trip through the state. The drive took him almost a day, including an overnight stop at a motel, before he finally arrived.
As he pulled into the city limits of Glenmore, the vibrant colors of autumn leaves dazzled his vision. He parked outside Aunt Sandra's charming two-story house, which looked inviting in the glow of the setting sun. Warm light poured from the kitchen window, and he could almost taste the familiar scents of her cooking wafting through the air.
Stepping out of the car, he felt a mix of anxiety and hope. This was it—his chance to start anew. Glenmore awaited him as a blank slate where he could discover himself away from the watchful eyes of his parents.Taking a deep breath, he approached the door and rang the bell, his heart pounding in his chest. It was time to step into the unknown, and with it, a thrilling sense of hope swelled within him. The journey was just beginning, and he was ready to embrace whatever lay ahead in this new chapter of his life.
Sandra opened the door, her tall silhouette framed by the warm glow of morning light. At 45, she was a striking woman with long, dark hair cascading down her back and a gentle confidence that made her presence felt in any room she entered. As Liam’s aunt and the sister of his mother Mary, Sandra was all too familiar with the dynamics of family relationships. She had chosen the path of a single mother after suffering heartbreak in her youth. The one man she had ever truly loved left her when he discovered she was pregnant with their daughter, Lena. Heartache drove her to focus on raising Lena alone, nurturing her with affection and understanding, traits contrasting sharply with the strict upbringing that had shaped her own childhood. Although her parents’ traditional views often included severe discipline and corporal punishment, she made a conscious choice never to replicate that environment with Lena, fostering an atmosphere of support and open communication instead.
Now, as a single mother living alone, Sandra exuded a friendly warmth that made her approachable and beloved in her community. However, the scars of her past still lingered, ever a reminder of the vulnerability that came from trusting others. Romance felt like an antiquated concept, a closed chapter in her life, as she focused on Lena’s future and her owner as an accountant.
When Lena left for college out of state, the silence in the house amplified Sandra's feelings of loneliness. Despite her attractive appearance and friendly nature, she had retreated from dating, wary of emotional entanglements. Thus, she found herself opening her home to Liam, who was seeking an escape from the rigid rules set by his parents. For Sandra, the prospect of having her nephew around felt like fresh air—a way to fill the void left by Lena's absence.
As Sandra opened the door, a wave of warmth washed over Liam. Her familiar presence, framed by the soft light spilling from the foyer, enveloped him in a comforting embrace. She welcomed him inside with the kind of hug that spoke volumes—a mix of affection, excitement, and a hint of reassurance.
“Welcome, Liam!†she beamed, stepping back to look at him. Her bright, expressive eyes searched his face, trying to glean how he felt after his long journey.
“It’s so good to see you! How was the drive?â€
“It was amazing, actually,†he replied, a smile breaking through the remnants of his travel fatigue.
“The scenic route was beautiful. I’m glad I decided to take my time.â€
“Well, you certainly deserve to enjoy it. Now let’s get you settled!†She waved him inside, her energy filling the air like the scent of a homemade meal. As he walked into the living room, he noticed the familiar décor: family pictures on the walls, the brightly colored throw pillows on the couch, and the inviting aroma coming from the kitchen.
“Let me help with your bags,†Sandra said, glancing toward the pile of luggage he had yet to unload. He nodded, grateful for her offer. Together, they carried his things into the hallway, the sounds of zippers and the soft thud of bags breaking the serene quiet of the house.
He led the way upstairs, where the soft hues of paint on the walls and the wooden banister created a cozy atmosphere. "Your room is upstairs to the left!" she exclaimed as they approached the door. Her enthusiasm was contagious.
“Thanks,†he said, pushing the door open to reveal the space—a sanctuary where memories of summer visits and laughter echoed back to him. The bed was made with fresh linens, and the closet and cupboard were cleared for his use.
“It’s all yours. I’ll let you unpack and get settled. I’m making breakfast in a bit—your favorite,†she said playfully, stepping back to give him space.
“Sounds perfect,†he replied, feeling excitement bubbling up inside him. As he started unpacking, the weight of the trip slipped away with each item he placed in the drawers. Clothes folded neatly; books stacked on top of one another—they all seemed to signify a new chapter beginning. The joy of the familiar mixed with anxious anticipation of what the next few days would bring. Liam paused for a moment, standing by the window that overlooked the foliage splashed with vibrant reds and oranges.
“Aunt Sandra?†he called down the stairs.
“Yes?†she answered, her voice filled with curiosity.
“Just wanted to say… it’s really nice to be here. I feel like I can finally breathe,†he admitted, his words laced with sincerity. "It's a relief to get away from everything."
“I feel the same way, Liam. It’s lovely having you here,†she replied, her tone straightforward yet warm.
“I’ve been looking forward to spending time with you. Just remember, you can talk to me about anything. We’re in this together.†He smiled, reassured by her presence. Unpacking became easy when underpinned by the promise of open communication and understanding. Once everything was in its place, he decided to take a moment to collect his thoughts. After a quick wash-up, he heard her call from the kitchen.
“Breakfast is ready!†The smell of pancakes and fresh coffee wafted through the air, and he couldn’t help but feel a rush of excitement. Liam bounded down the stairs, finding her at the table, a spread of delicious food laid out. She looked up, her expression pleased.
“I know you were on the road for a long time, so I wanted to make something special.â€
“You didn’t have to go all out,†he chuckled, taking a seat. “You already welcomed me so warmly!â€
“Oh, but it’s a celebration!†she replied, pouring a generous cup of coffee for him.
“Besides, I like spoiling you a little when I can.â€As they sat together, a comfortable rhythm established itself between them—the light banter, shared laughter, and frankly, the very real and intimate connection they had cultivated over the past months. The conversation flowed from casual topics to more personal reflections as they savored the meal, each bite tasting like a reminder that he had truly escaped the confines of his previous life.
Maybe, just maybe, this new chapter in Glenmore would reveal more than he initially imagined. The sun crested higher in the sky, spilling golden light across the room, and with it, Liam felt something stirring deep within—a mix of hope, freedom, and the faint thrill of uncharted territory ahead.
***
Liam's new life in Glenmore started in the early days of August 2023, marking the beginning of an exciting new chapter of his life. He had convinced his parents and moved in with his aunt to attend the Glenmore Technical University, to pursue his Graduate studies in Computer Science, which was a comprehensive 2 year course with a break in the spring for about 3 months.
Leaving his overbearing parents behind to live with Aunt Sandra felt like a breath of fresh air. It was an opportunity for him to step into a new environment where he could finally feel free. Aunt Sandra was everything his parents weren't—laid-back, understanding, and quick to offer him the freedom he had long desired. Her relaxed approach to life made him feel immediately at ease. She set reasonable boundaries, which allowed him to adapt to this new lifestyle without feeling overwhelmed.
This new living situation felt both thrilling and comforting, giving him the space to grow and explore who he was. The first few months of living under her roof flew by quickly, he spent most of it hanging out with his college friends, going to parties, spending time in study groups, and having overnight stays at the homes of his friends. Each day was filled with experiences he had secretly craved while dealing with the strict rules imposed by his parents. College life provided a wealth of opportunities to socialize and learn, and without the constant pressure from home, he felt more confident and willing to try new things.
He enjoyed the independence that came with managing his own schedule, cooking for himself, and making friends. Liam soon found himself settling into this new rhythm. He was no longer the timid boy his parents had raised; instead, he was becoming a young man ready to take charge of his own life and embrace the opportunities ahead. Living in Glenmore meant he could finally focus on his education and personal growth without the weight of his passive past holding him back.
Yet, amid the joyous exploration of newfound autonomy, there lingered within him certain desires he had never had the chance to fully explore. They were interests that had developed over the course of years and had now become an instinctive desire, the desire to fall in love, to find a woman who loved him but also was willing to indulge him in his fantasies of submission. He had thought that once he achieved a modicum of freedom his desire to submit would go away, replaced by more healthy thoughts, but instead, it had only increased upon reaching Glenmore. He had to face it at this point, he was innately submissive, and he craved the attention and domination of an authoritative woman in his life, especially in the bedroom.
Liam quickly settled into life at Aunt Sandra's home, where he split the chores. While she handled cooking and the bulk of the cleaning, he took on his share of household tasks, feeling more than happy to contribute. However, in those initial weeks, he was largely preoccupied with reveling in his newfound freedom. The weight of his previous constraints had been lifted, and he was eager to explore this uncharted territory of independence.
Aunt Sandra understood his need for space; she knew all too well how his mother’s desire for control and discipline had stifled his spirit. With a gentle touch, she encouraged him to enjoy his time and pursue his interests rather than burdening him with excessive responsibilities. Her empathy allowed a bond to form between them, one built on mutual respect and understanding.
As the months passed, though, something began to shift within Liam. Once the initial excitement faded and routine settled in, he felt a growing urge to contribute more around the house. The driving force behind this change stemmed from several fruitless months of online encounters, where aspirations for a romantic connection—especially one that explored the dom/sub dynamic he longed for—remained unfulfilled. Each interaction left him yearning for a deeper connection, and as time wore on, he started to crave a sense of submission in his everyday life.
This longing began to manifest itself through his chores and tasks around the house. He found solace in the rhythm of the daily routines, the acts of cooking, cleaning, and organizing gradually becoming less of a burden and more of a channel for his inner desires. He discovered a certain satisfaction in the simple act of serving—whether it was preparing dinner for Aunt Sandra or tidying up a cluttered room. It was grounding and fulfilling in ways he hadn't expected.
After about eight months at his aunt’s, he found himself on break from college. His parents had embarked on a vacation cruise, offering to pick him up on their way back. But with semester-ending exams looming, he had politely declined, believing it was better for them to enjoy their time as a couple rather than as parents. This decision provided him with even more space to explore his feelings and curiosities without the weight of parental expectations hovering over him.
With his parents away, Liam felt a renewed motivation to help out around the house. He embraced the role of caretaker enthusiastically, going the extra mile to surprise Aunt Sandra with little gestures, such as preparing her favorite meals or tackling chores she typically managed alone. Each task became a way for him to channel the submission he had been craving, translating his desires into acts of service that strengthened their bond.
Little by little, as he immersed himself in household dynamics, he began to experience a kind of contentment he had never known. The feeling of contributing, of being valued, provided a remarkable balance to his life that all the online escapades had failed to deliver. This new approach to his daily routine created a sense of fulfillment, allowing him to balance his independence with a newfound appreciation for the simple joys of responsibility and connection.
During a typical week, Liam balances his college classes and personal life with Aunt Sandra's moral support. He starts each weekday with early morning classes at the technical university, returning home in the evening, where Aunt Sandra usually prepares dinner. Although she isn't familiar with the specifics of his studies, she provides a warm, encouraging presence, listening to his excitement about projects and offering advice when he hesitates over decisions, creating a supportive environment for him.
On study nights, they sit at the dining table, with Sandra working on her own tasks while Liam reviews his notes. Their collaborative yet independent atmosphere fosters connection, even if she doesn't delve deeply into his academic material. Each weekend brings a mix of exploration and relaxation, with trips to local festivals and Saturday game nights that emphasize their bond. Sunday afternoons are often devoted to lighthearted movies and conversations reflecting on life, solidifying a relationship rooted not just in shared interests but in understanding and emotional support as Liam navigates his college journey.
The weekends were pretty normal, there were exceptions of course. His Aunt was pretty interested in his life and tried to make sure he lived the best life possible for him. She would reminisce about old days and also try to pry information about his dating life every now and then—for example, one time when she brought up Role-playing games.
***
The living room buzzed with the comfortable hum of a typical family evening. The warm glow of the table lamp illuminated Liam and Aunt Sandra as they began to clean up the remnants of their dinner. Laughter still echoed in the corners from the light-hearted banter they’d shared over the meal. As they finished putting away dishes, Sandra caught a glimpse of nostalgia and decided to share a little piece of her past.
“You know,†she began, her voice a mix of warmth and playfulness, “I used to play role-playing games back in the day. Your mom and I would team up with a few friends, and we’d get lost in worlds of adventure. We had quite the imagination!â€
“Really?†Liam replied, intrigued.
“What games did you play?â€
“Oh, the classics! Dungeons & Dragons, of course. We’d spend hours crafting characters, rolling dice, and going on epic quests. It was so much fun!†There was a glimmer in her eyes as she reminisced about the thrill of those shared adventures.
“I can’t imagine you as a wizard or something,†Liam teased, poking fun at the image of his aunt in fantasy garb.
“Did you ever cast any crazy spells?†Sandra laughed, shaking her head.
“Well, you might be surprised! But speaking of role-playing—have you ever thought about trying it yourself?†She watched him closely, eyebrow arched with playful curiosity.
Liam paused, a flicker of color rising to his cheeks. “Um, not exactly that type of role-playing,†he stammered, his thoughts shifting unexpectedly to the more adult-oriented scenarios involving dominance and submission he had been involved in online. Images of his previous online Dom/sub roleplays crossed his mind, but he quickly cleared those thoughts away.
“Oh?†Sandra's interest piqued, her teasing tone shifting slightly. “What type are you talking about then?†He glanced at her, feeling a flustered heat. “You know, just… general stuff. Not anything too serious.†The blush deepened on his cheeks, a clear tell that made Sandra’s curiosity flare even more.
“You mean to tell me you’ve been getting a little… naughty?†she said, leaning forward with a playful glint in her eyes.
“Are you saying there’s some role-play involved with your girlfriends?â€
Liam rubbed the back of his neck, trying to find words to deflect but only managing a vague answer, “Uh, I mean… maybe? It’s just something I’ve seen... online and stuff.â€
The moment felt charged, and the mixture of embarrassment and intrigue danced between them.
“Hmm, online, you say? Sounds like you’ve been exploring,†she teased, sounding both amused and genuinely curious. Her tone danced between teasing affection and a shared secret, drawing out the layers of their relationship that were slowly shifting.
“It’s all just hypothetical, I’m not admitting to anything,†he replied, wishing the floor would open up and swallow him. “Nothing serious. Just… thoughts, you know?â€
“Thoughts that spark your interest, perhaps?†she pressed, an impish smile surfacing.
“Just remember, exploring new ideas is a part of growing up! I mean, if it involves costumes and adventures, who wouldn’t want to dive in?â€
“What’s next? You’re gonna encourage me to write a fantasy novel or something?†Liam laughed nervously, trying to bring some levity back into the conversation, but he could sense her genuine interest in his thoughts.
“Well, wouldn’t that be entertaining? A tale of your adventures with your ‘gorgeous’ girlfriends—complete with heroes and damsels in distress?†Sandra continued to tease, and with every word, Liam felt his pulse quicken.
“Gorgeous? Okay, now you’re just exaggerating,†he replied, his embarrassment only growing. His mind raced with the idea of how his aunt might envision his escapades, which only made him feel more flustered and ever more aware of the subtle shift happening in their relationship. What would his Aunt think if she knew he related more with the damsel in distress than the hero?
“You’ll have to let me know if you decide to try anything adventurous,†she added with a wink, “though I can’t promise I won’t embarrass you with a few stories of my own role-playing past. Just remember,†she said with a mock-serious tone, “if you go down that road, I want the juicy details!â€
Liam chuckled, a mixture of mortification and amusement bubbling within him. “I’ll keep that in mind,†he replied, grateful for her light-heartedness.

During another such weekend, Liam and Aunt Sandra lounged on the couch, the soft glow of the television flickering shadows across the room. The movie—an exploration of student-teacher dynamics—drew them into an intense scene where a student, brimming with youthful bravado, defiantly clashed with his teacher.
“I don’t need your help, Mr. Harris!†the student yelled, his voice brimming with indignation that only someone sheltered by a lack of experience could muster.
“You’re just trying to control me!â€
“And you think refusing to listen is a better solution? This project isn’t about doing whatever you want,†Mr. Harris replied, his patience visibly wearing thin.
“All you care about is following the rules! It’s not always about rules; it’s about passion!†the student shot back, his tone increasingly petulant.
Liam snorted softly, shifting in his seat. He could see the folly in the student’s argument, recalling his own moments of immaturity where he had dug his heels in, refusing to let go of pride, just like this stubborn kid. The tension on the screen resonated with him, reminding him of the struggles he faced with authority figures in his own life, especially his parents. They had always demanded the best of him but had little patience for the hesitations that came with youth. Suddenly, the conversation in the room shifted as Sandra turned toward him, a playful glint in her eyes.
“You know, Liam,†she teased, nudging him lightly, “the best way to learn is to be silent and obey those who are older and more experienced than you—say someone like me.
â€The jest in her voice hit him like a jolt. He laughed lightly but felt something deeper click within him. The idea of submission, of surrendering to someone he trusted, swirled around his mind like autumn leaves caught in a gentle breeze.
His thoughts drifted to high school, a poignant memory flooding back of when he volunteered at the local community center. He had felt overwhelmed yet fulfilled, a sense of purpose blossoming within him as he helped others. It had been in that role of service that he first understood the beauty of stepping aside for others.
‘What if… What if I told Aunt Sandra about my submissive desires? Seeking submission to Aunt Sandra could offer me what I’m looking for. She’s someone I trust to care for me. At least I don’t think she would judge me or push me away... I think.’
But just as quickly as the thought arrived, apprehension ensued. What if she doesn’t understand? What if she tells my parents? Liam felt a cold knot form in his stomach. What if she thinks I’m some kind of freak? Fear gripped him tighter. Or worse: what if she believed he was crazy and needed help? It was a risk that felt too great, too frightening to confront.
The internal arguments played out as they always did when he contemplated sharing this part of himself. He understood that people generally sought control and recognition, not submission. Everyone wanted to soar, to strive for excellence. He wanted that too. Yet, there was a longing within him for a different path. He didn’t desire to be trampled upon by random people; rather, he wished to submit to a few who would treat him with genuine care.
He craved the relief that came from letting go of burdens and choices, a yearning deeply rooted in the constraints imposed by his overbearing upbringing. That pattern of pressure and expectation had subtly shaped his attraction to BDSM and submission. The sexual aspect was not at the forefront—it was more about feeling safe enough to relinquish control to someone deserving.
Yet, with that inclination came the familiar avalanche of concerns. What if she dismisses him? What if this conversation destroyed their relationship?
Liam turned to Sandra again, his heart pounding as he sought the right moment, the right words. She looked so relaxed, her attention on the film, her face soft in the glow of the screen, blissfully unaware of the storm of thoughts swirling within him.
“Aunt Sandra,†he murmured, the gravity of his suppressed revelation weighing heavily on his tongue, “can I talk to you about something really personal?â€
She shifted her focus to him, her expression shifting from amusement to gentle encouragement.
“Of course, Liam. Whatever it is, you can tell me. I’m here for you.†Her warmth and openness coaxed a flicker of courage from him, yet as he opened his mouth, doubt washed over him. The words teetered on the edge of his lips, momentarily dancing in the air, but the familiar fear snagged his resolve.
Instead, he forced a smile, his heart heavy. “I… uh… I’ll tell you later. Thanks for listening.†He tried to mask the disappointment with a casual shrug, turning his gaze back to the movie, grappling with the turmoil he had chosen to mask with silence.
The flickers of the film flickered along the periphery of his consciousness, but his thoughts remained preoccupied—chained to what he had almost confessed, lingering on the idea of surrender, of trust, and the potential for a deeper connection he longed to explore.
But most other days were pretty normal until the fated day, the day that would change both of their lives forever. It all started with a regular night involving cooking and doing chores around the house.
***
It had been close to 8 months since Liam had moved in with his Aunt, It was May of 2023, and he had completed two semesters and was taking a two-month vacation. He had tried to pursue his desires secretly in Glenmore by trying to connect with a dominant woman online, but it never really clicked. Either they were not interested in a brand new submissive who might just be curious or were intent on squeezing money out of him in the name of BDSM sessions.
In his past relationships, Liam had done some experimenting, but his partners had consistently missed the mark. Some were hesitant, unwilling to tread the waters of his deeper desires, while others showered him with affection in ways that were juvenile.
His thoughts rattled around as he watched Aunt Sandra bustling in the kitchen, her presence radiating warmth and familiarity. Liam was a bit distracted but he pushed the swirling thoughts aside, anchoring himself in the mundane ebb and flow of their tasks.
“Let me do those, Aunt Sandra,†he offered with a confident smile, eager to lighten her load.
“In moments like these, you really ought to take advantage of your capable nephew.â€
She chuckled, the sound rich and heartening. “Thank you, dear! It’s kind of you to offer, but I’m not that old yet. I can manage.â€
Liam nodded, stepping in to help with the dishes, feeling their rhythm together as they continued in a comfortable silence. As they worked, he instinctively took on the more tedious tasks, wiping down counters and organizing the utensils without being asked.
“You know,†Aunt Sandra began, glancing at him with a thoughtful expression, “you really don’t have to do everything. You’re always so eager to help; I sometimes wonder if you even know how to say no.â€
A light blush crept onto his cheeks, but he shrugged, offering a teasing smile. “Maybe I just like making things easier for you.â€
Her eyes sparkled with a mix of affection and curiosity. “Well, it’s sweet, but it’s also a bit worrying. You should enjoy your own time too, you know.â€
“Yeah, but I’d much rather see you relaxed than hustle about.†Aunt Sandra raised an eyebrow, observing him closely.
“You do realize that being too accommodating can lead to being taken advantage of, right? Also, not every girl will appreciate your willingness to take on everything either, girls these days seem to find it patronizing.â€
Her comment lingered in the air, tinged with a seriousness that caught him off guard.
“I guess... I could see how both of those things could happen.â€
“Yes,†she pressed gently, her hand coming to rest on his shoulder, “and sometimes it’s okay to want to be a little more... in control of what you do for others.â€
“I just like helping you,†he murmured, a bit too defensively.
“Helping is one thing. Wanting to serve is something different,†she noted, her tone now laced with genuine concern.
Liam swallowed hard, his pulse quickening. Before he could reign in his thoughts, he found himself saying, “I wouldn’t mind serving you in any way you need...â€
The room fell silent, the weight of his words hanging between them. Aunt Sandra’s eyes widened slightly, searching his face for clarity. “Serving... how, exactly?â€
Caught off guard by his revelation, Liam hesitated, his mind racing. “Uh, I mean like... I don’t mind if it means more chores or... well, you know...†He trailed off, heat flooding his face, the implications harshly echoing within him.
“What do you really mean, honey?†she asked softly, a blend of concern and intrigue was visible on her features.
Panic surged, battling against a compelling urge to divulge his feelings. “I dunno... I just... there’s something about it...†His tongue felt heavy as the tension shifted, loosening words that had stayed tucked away for far too long.
“I think I might... like being guided by you, someone who is more… mature and in charge.†Aunt Sandra leaned closer, her brow furrowing in thought. “You want me to... guide you? Wait, I think you’ve tried to bring something like this up before, haven’t you? Guide you in what way?â€
Liam’s heart raced as an unexpected thrill surged within him, spurred on by her inquisitive gaze. “Maybe...†he hesitated, fear battling with the excitement of honesty. “Maybe I want to be told what to do.â€
Her expression shifted from concern to a mix of surprise and curiosity sparking in her eyes. “You mean you want me to take charge, literally?â€
“I don’t know,†he stammered, “but it feels right. Like... I’d want to follow your lead.â€
Aunt Sandra’s interest deepened. “Can you tell me what that looks like for you?â€
“I just... feel like I’d be okay with doing whatever you said,†he whispered, the remnants of his composure faltering under her intense gaze.“Doing whatever I said?†she echoed, her voice now a whisper of curiosity and something else—something more personal.
“Yeah,†Liam confessed. “It’s like... I wouldn’t mind being your... servant in a way.â€
The word slipped from his lips before he could stop it. Silence enveloped them as Aunt Sandra’s eyes widened in astonishment.
“My servant?†she repeated slowly, taking a moment to process his confession.
“Why would you ever want that?â€
“I dunno...†he admitted, his cheeks burning with the weight of his words.
“I like being bossed around by women, I guess. It's... freeing?â€
With a tentative softness, Aunt Sandra squeezed his hand lightly, her voice taking on a serious tone.
“What does that mean to you, exactly?â€
“I want to do what you say. To please you,†he said, his voice quivering. He couldn’t believe he had just confessed that to his very own aunt, He had held his desires in for a long time now, and with his Aunt slowly prying them out he could barely keep them in.
Her gaze remained locked on his, a blend of surprise and an unexpected seriousness illuminating her expression.
“Tell me more.â€
Liam exhaled, diving into the depths of his long-held feelings, the barriers beginning to crumble under the warmth of her inquiry. “It’s the idea of being... directed. Just that sense of surrender...â€
“Of surrender?†Aunt Sandra murmured, her eyes deepened with recognition, maybe she had started to realize what Laim was into but still prompted him to share more to confirm.
"I don't know how to say it..." Liam stuttered nervously.
"Tell me," Aunt Sandra gently squeezed his hand, her voice taking on a tone of steel that made Liam's knees wobble.
“Yes,†he whispered, feeling both pressured and thrilled.
“Being... kind of like… your slave…â€A slight gasp escaped her, an involuntary reaction to the weight of his admission hanging in the space between them. She slowly started pacing around the room, it was one of her little quirks, she liked to pace around the house when she was deeply in thought or was on the phone discussing business. Liam looked on nervously, hesitant to say anything more. She soon looked up after a minute or so and took his hand in hers.
“... This is truly what you want?â€Liam nodded slowly, heart pounding as the reality of his confession washed over them both.
The grip of her hand around his tightened instinctively as if she were anchoring herself to a familiar reality against the unexpected tide of his confession. Her expression shifted to one of deep curiosity intertwined with concern.
“I think I have an idea about what you are talking about but, can you tell me exactly what being a slave means to you?â€
Liam shifted nervously, the implications of his choice of words crashing down upon him.
“I dunno,†he admitted, his voice faltering slightly, “like I have to obey all of your orders. Be punished if I mess up or disobey. I need to make your life easy?â€
The air hung thick with tension as Aunt Sandra fell silent, her mind racing to comprehend the depths of his yearning. “What else?†she prompted gently, her tone coaxing him to continue.
In that moment of vulnerability, he found himself going further than he intended. The cat was out of the bag anyway, might as well go all the way.
“Maybe I’ll be tied up and gagged when I’m not being useful to you...†The suggestion hung awkwardly between them, laced with unspoken implications.
Sandra inhaled sharply, her gaze locking onto his as the realities of his desires began to unfold. “I think being a slave means giving up your freedom—the freedom to speak, to do what you like, to live how you want. You hand it over to someone else and acknowledge them as your superior, your… owner. You start living life to make them happy. Is that what you want?â€
“Yes,†Liam whispered, the weight of his words hanging somberly in the air.“
This is all a lot for me to process…†Aunt Sandra murmured, her brow furrowing as the enormity of his confession settled into her thoughts.
“I need some time to think. We’ll discuss this tomorrow evening.â€
