The Surrender Chronicles - More Than Alex Expected

Chapter 1: Revealing Desires

The moon cast a soft, ethereal glow upon the cityscape as Alex Thompson nervously paced the room, his mind consumed by a desire he had long kept hidden. The air hung heavy with anticipation as he prepared to reveal his deepest secret to his wife, Olivia. With every step, the creak of the floorboards echoed through the spacious bedroom that they shared, heightening his apprehension. Alex longed for something more in his marriage and tonight he will let Olivia know the truth.

Olivia, entered into the room wearing her silk teddy, the one that always made his heart race. She couldn't help but notice the look of unease on his face, "What's wrong, sweetheart?" she asked.

Alex looked at his wife, "Olivia, there's something I've been hiding from you, for a long time." His heart raced with every word he spoke, "I've been wanting to share this part of myself with you, but I was scared. I love you so much and I hope you'll still feel the same."

Alex lowered his head and began to pace back and forth in the room.

"Alex, will you stop pacing and come over here?"

He turned to look at Olivia, who was standing on the other side of the room, and his heart skipped a beat. His eyes trailed along the delicate features of her beautiful face and the graceful curves of her slender body. She was so amazingly attractive and she was his wife. But he yearned for more.

"Are you going to tell me or not?"

"Olivia, as you know I have 20 people under my command at the office, I've managed to lead them to become a very successful group. And when I come home, I have you to take care of everything here at home. I'm the man who is always in charge."

"Ok, Alex, but I don't understand where you're going with this. What's the big secret?"

Alex's heart was beating rapidly and he could hear it in his ears. He sat down on the bed, "I'm not used to asking for anything Olivia, because everyone gives me what I want."

Olivia walked over and sat down next to him, "Honey, I'm getting worried, you can tell me. Please, just tell me.

Alex's hands were trembling, "I'm not used to anyone saying no, I'm the one in control." He paused for a moment, trying to steady his nerves, "What I'm trying to say, is that I don't like being in control, all the time."

Olivia was puzzled, "So, what are you saying?"

Alex couldn't believe how hard this was, he was never at a loss for words, but tonight he was.

"Alex?"

"Olivia, sometimes I wish someone else would be in control, even just for a little while."

Olivia had an inquisitive look, "Like what, honey?"

"I wish I could be... submissive." Alex felt the words rush out and now there was no turning back.

Olivia smiled and then giggled a little.

Alex looked down at the floor, "See, I told you that you wouldn't understand. Forget it, it's not important."

Olivia was still giggling, "Honey, I do understand. It's no big deal, a lot of men are submissive."

Alex stood up, "It is a big deal! I'm not a lot of men, and I'm not supposed to be submissive. Men are not submissive, and besides, I'm the man in our relationship. I'm supposed to be the one who's in control. That's the way it's always been."

Olivia walked over to him and placed her arms around him, "Honey, it's OK to want to be submissive." She smiled and looked deep into his eyes, "Do you trust me?"

Alex hesitated, "Yes, of course I do."

"OK, if you trust me, then why don't you just give me a few days to figure this out. I promise, I will take care of everything. Would you like that?"

A smile broke across Alex's face, "Yes, I would."

Olivia kissed him and smiled, "I will take care of everything."

For the first time since entering the room, Alex's mind was free from anxiety and fear. He went to sleep that night dreaming about the possibilities that lay ahead.
