My featured "Happily Ever After" post is about "Master's Submission", another Quickie from Ellora's Cave. Dylan and Bethany are in a committed Dominant/submissive relationship, and Dylan decides to shake up their relationship a bit, and it all ends well.

Blurb: When Bethany finds her Master’s note, she expects it to contain the usual set of instructions telling her how to prepare for their Friday evening play session. But her Master asks for the unexpected—he wants her to be his Domme. Bethany is terrified at the prospect, but she doesn’t want to disappoint Master. She’ll need to tap into her inner dominatrix if she’s to give her newly submissive lover what he needs.


Excerpt:

I stood by the bedside table, where Master had left his instructions on a  piece of red paper he’d transformed into an origami swan. Beautiful. A shame to  unfold it, really. Every Friday night, he left me prep work for the scene he wanted to act out when he returned from the office.

Sometimes he made simple requests, asking me to answer the door dressed only in my leather collar and crotchless panties, and then kneel at his feet after he entered. Or he gave me more detailed instructions, where I had to cook a three-course meal, light candles, make up the bed in satin sheets and lay out the various crops and floggers in a straight line on the mahogany desk by the window. Master loved scenarios involving costume play, especially when I wore my  corseted Victorian gown, and he tied me to the bed, ravishing me while I begged  to be set free. Other times I draped myself in filmy veils and posed as a harem  girl, shimmying my hips in an improvised belly dance. When I finished removing  the veils, dropping them one by one at his feet, he played the sultan and  demanded sexual favors.

I held the paper swan to my nose, inhaling its scent. His scent. I caught the faint hint of musky cologne, Fetiche, which I bought for his birthday. One fold at a time, I straightened the paper, tingling in anticipation. What did he desire this evening? Bondage? Spanking? A session with the flogger that ended in  a frenzy of fucking? Warmth spread through my pussy as multiple possibilities  spun inside my mind. Closing my eyes, I pressed the paper against my lips.

When Master wrote his notes, the pen left indentations in the paper. The precisely looped Ds and bold Ys reflected his assertive personality.

Dearest Bethany,

Tonight, your task is to be my Domme. Do what you like with me.

Your humble servant,

Dylan

What? Domme him? I didn’t have a clue how to be a Domme. I’d always been his submissive. We’d been together five years and for that entire time, I’d acted as  his willing servant, surrendering to him, pleasing him. The roles suited us to  perfection. My previous relationships were the same. I’d always been with a Dom,  and never, ever considered any other role for myself. Being a sub fulfilled  me.

I read the note a second time. He signed it Dylan, his real name. All the other messages had been signed Master.

What do I do? What do I do?

Loved the excerpt from Master's Submission, especially the little details: the origami swan, signing with his real name, the handwriting reflecting his personality...just sucked me in.
