Note from the owners: This story is based on the relationship between me and my slave, Vanilla_Wildrush. we decided to work on this together both as a way to deepen our bond even more and to share some of our experiences. Some of what will appear in this story will be complete truth, while others will be based on ideas we have had, even if we have not decided on if we will do them. We welcome all comments and suggestion, and may even try out any suggestions that are offered. For reader convienence, any thread we add that is based on truth will have a "**" mark at the top of the page. This opening is not based on how our M/S relationship started, but will lead into the stuff we have done. The Fetlife names that the characters use are not (To my knowledge) real accounts. Both Vanilla and myself have Fetlife accounts and are willing to share in private messages.

Griffin and Melody had been dating for nearly six months when they came to an important point in their lives. After a romantic dinner and movie, Griffin had taken Melody back to his place and asked her the question that had been on his mind all day. "Will you move in with me?" Melody happily agreed and within a week the pair were happily living together. For the first few months, everything seemed to be going fine, but something was eating at both of them. They both had a secret, a desire, that they felt ashamed to share with their partner.

How their lives evolved into something even deeper came about on a day that started like any other. Melody had left for work and Griffin was enjoying a day off and working on Melody's laptop to pay a few of their bills. He was just finishing up with the last of them when a notification appeared at the top of his screen.

"Billybong89 is now following you"

Griffin saw that it was a Fetlife notification and clicked on it just a moment before he had a realization. This was Melody's laptop, not his. A familiar website popped up, and Griffin found himself staring at a picture of his girlfriend, stretched out on their bed and wearing the matching red set of bra and panties he had bought her a few weeks ago. He was familiar with the website, but not that Melody, his Melody, was a member. He looked at the account name, SlaveGurl99, and realized he was more shocked than upset. He had been a Fetlife member for years under the name HappyPup13, but had never shared anything about it with Melody. He had tried to share his fetishes with previous girlfriends and had gotten his heart broken more than once. He even had a bag stashed deep in his closet that he hadn't touched since Melody had come into his life.

Feeling somewhat relieved that she may be similar to him, Griffin looked at her personal page and read the details carefully. To his joy, she had listed that she was in a monogamous relationship and not looking for a play partner, but her latest writing did reflect that there was something missing from her life and that she was afraid to tell her partner. Very similar indeed. He wanted to read more of her writings and browse her pictures, but decided not to invade her privacy until later that night. He resolved himself to talk to Melody and see if they could perhaps work on that shared desire that wasn't being fulfilled.

Melody sighed for the tenth time that day. She loved Griffin more than anything, but something had to change. She had promised herself that she would tell him the truth before they ever moved in together, but when he sprung the question on her out of the blue, she could only think of being with the man she loved. After that she just could never find the right time to share her secret with him. It wasn't his fault that she felt unfulfilled. Guys always seemed so excited when she told them her desires, but to them it was just a bit of wild sex and that was it. She needed someone who could live those desires 24/7. She had discovered that Griffin was a bit of a switch in bed, and honestly that worried her that he wouldn't be stable for the kind of lifestyle she needed. She had been let down so many times that she was afraid to even approach the issue again. She was thinking of what to do when her phone buzzed with a message from Griffin.

*I love you no matter what. Something has come to my attention and we really need to talk. I promise it will be ok.*

Fear washed over her. She remembered he had been on her laptop when she left the house. Had he found the file she had hidden deep in a redundant file? She prayed that she was wrong. If Griffin had found the pictures and videos she had saved, he would definitely have questions about why he hadn't seen them and what she was doing with them. She had no intention of hurting him, but she enjoyed showing off her body on Fetlife. She never had any real contact with anyone from the site and she would never cheat on him. She text back that she loved him, but spent the rest of the day worried.

Melody walked into the house and found Griffin sitting at the dining room table, her laptop open and looking like he had a lot on his mind. When he saw her, he spun the laptop to face her. She immediately saw the website and tears began to spill from her eyes.

"Honey I can explain. Please just... give me a chance!"

"Melody... Look at the page."

She was confused for a moment but did as he asked. It took a moment, but realization dawned on her. She wasn't looking at her Fetlife page, instead it was one she had never seen before. The name at the top read HappyPup13, and the picture... was Griffin. He was shirtless in their bathroom, posing as he had in a few of the pictures she had sent him. Her eyes trailed to his information and saw that he was listed as in a monogamous relationship... with SlaveGurl99 (Pending)

"What is this," she asked him wide eyed.

"I haven't been completely honest. Neither have you," He continued with a smile, "But it seems we had some similar interests. I haven't dug through all your pictures and writings. I wanted to save that for when you got here, but I wanted to discuss where we go from here. You wanted a Master and I wanted an Owner. We are both able to switch so the way I see it, we have three options. I become the dom and you become my slave, you become the domme and I become your puppy, or we try to mix the two and go back and forth with the power exchange. This would be a 24/7 thing here, so if you don't feel we can do it, we can take a fourth option and try to forget we've seen each other's secrets and stay a vanilla couple."

"I don't think I can handle being vanilla much longer," she said with a blush.

"Me too honestly. So, what do we do?"
