Collars and Ink [Edit: Idea Taken, thank you!]

Edit: Taken! Someone has already expressed interest & I'm in talks. But thank you to the folks who reached out!

Antony Graves didn't look like a submissive. That was because he wasn't. Not really. But a girlfriend who dabbled in BDSM with him years ago challenged him and said: "If you really want to be a better Dominant, you should consider experimenting being a submissive. It will help you understand your subs so much better."

He dismissed that out of hand. He was successful enough with women, and he didn't exactly feel a need to broaden his horizons. But there was something there that did sort of bother him: the idea that maybe he didn't understand his subs as well as he thought. That maybe there was more he could be doing.

He put that thought aside for awhile.

He had bigger things to deal with: running his tattoo shop, saving up for his ideal motorcycle, and putting his niece and nephew through college as a favor to his brother. Antony  wasn't exactly a model citizen either--he had a bit of an arrest record thanks to some illicit drag racing. Antony loved his muscle cars; he bought his first in his mid20s after an insane amount of saving up. He got himself a '69 Dodge Charger Daytona that was cherry red and as vibrant as the day was long. If he was being honest, though, the Charger hadn't been his first choice--a '70 Chevy Chevelle had been, but someone had snaked that deal out from under him, so now Antony had a Charger.

He reconnected with the old girlfriend in his 30s, the one who told him how to be a better Dom years ago. Except she wasn't a sub any more. Not really.

She was a professional sex worker and Dominatrix. She asked him if he wanted to hook back up...under the condition that he wasn't going to be the Dom any longer. Or if he was allowed to be, it would be because she felt like switching--something entirely at her behest. If at all.

Antony was taken aback by her boldness; she was different than he remembered. They went for a ride in his Charger to talk it out. At the end of the night, he didn't exactly agree, but he did agree he wanted to be friends...

The next day, she texted him one more time, saying: Last chance to change your mind. I'll be gentle, I swear. 

Antony's curiosity got the better of him and he texted back one word: Okay.




This roleplay is one I've been thinking about for a bit. Anyways, I'd play Antony. I've left a tiny amount of info on the Dominatrix, but I didn't want to mention too much about her--not even a name or appearance--because I didn't want to dictate how a co-writer might write her! The image I used in this thread is what I imagine Antony would look like though! So anyways, what I'm looking for with this story:

- A slow posting rate. Work has had me very busy, so I can't post very quickly. I also prefer not to have a minimum post length requirement; I'm the sort of person who likes to write what 'fits' in a given scene and not worry too much about length.
- Just a good character-driven romance with Antony being kept on his toes trying to understand how to be a submissive when he genuinely doesn't get it. I don't know what the story/smut ratio would really be; I think it just depends on the character personalities and how high these characters' sex drives would be.
- A tale that revolves around two people changing up who they used to be. Antony is a man's man, and submitting would be hard for him. As for your character, it's my hope that being a Domme professionally changed her into someone for whom sexual confidence and control is empowering in everyday life and seeing how it changes her old relationships, etc.
- Light kinks. Collaring (definitely something I want to include early), mild restraints, a bit of teasing/humiliation but nothing over the top. Spanking or smacking with a crop. Leather outfits would be fun! Maybe a gag, but I suspect Antony wouldn't go for one of those right away. (Also I feel the characters should actively have a discussion on safe words during the story since poor Antony's only ever done stuff from the Dom side of things rather than the sub side; he probably would need reminded that he can stop things if he gets uncomfortable)
- If the Dominatrix ever "submits," its a bit of a fake submission to reward Antony for doing something right as a submissive himself, I would imagine. But a little bit of 'switching' can happen, provided it makes sense during a specific scene in the story.
- Special: If Antony and the Dominatrix really do hit it off and fall in love, he might tattoo himself something special just for her. I've always wanted to interplay tattoos into a BDSM story, and I feel like making Antony a tattoo artist by trade lets that happen in a sensible way.
- Special: I am fine if the Domme is a transwoman, pre or post transition. The Domme being a ciswoman is of course also still welcome. Both are equally interesting to me.
- Story is a light, modern, BDSM freeform tale with light femdom elements. 
- I may be willing to include more than just the lighter end of BDSM but I think I'd want to talk about what that would entail first.
- I do not care what the gender of my co-writer is, provided they are willing to write the Dominatrix.
- Please read my O/Os for more info! PM me if interested in this tale!
