He'd Been Polite...But Also Flirtatious

You stopped the story there, noting that you’d never actually heard of this message, or this man, before. It stands to reason that she should have mentioned this to you. Your wife was quick to agree, of course. She apologized for never talking to you about him. At the time her reasoning had been that you hadn’t seemed much interested in talking about her BDSM explorations. It was a charge you couldn’t deny. Whatsmore, it’s not like she’d crossed any major lines with him. They’d just…talked.{if Meek = true}

(Meek) She’d hardly finished apologizing before you repeatedly insisted that she had nothing to apologize for. You had given your consent for her to explore the website. You hadn’t exactly told her that she couldn’t speak to anyone.{endif}

The one thing that had bothered her was how flirtatious he was with her, especially at first. She’d silenced that pretty fast though. Once she told him she was in a monogamous marriage, he quickly apologized and returned to a more “proper” conversational posture.{if Female = true}

Though, your wife did note, to your annoyance, when he learned that she was married to another woman, he’d regained some of his boldness. Men never seemed to respect your claim to her the way they might if you were of the same bold sex. He’d also asked about you, if you were a sub too. Your wife was always quick to insist you were too vanilla to even think about such things.{endif}

Ultimately, while he’d never outright propositioned a BDSM relationship with her, it didn’t mean that he wasn’t interested in her. He joked sometimes about how he’d treat her if she was his submissive. A clear sign of fascination and perhaps a test to see how she’d respond.

The more she talked, the more you understood their dynamic. He’d taken the role of educator and Kaori would come to him with questions about her latest curiosity. It was almost like he was a teacher and she was his student. As a result, he might sometimes talk down to her, but never quite to the point of impropriety.

Such a dynamic was just natural for Kaori. When faced with a man in a position of experience and authority, she defaulted to a submissive disposition on instinct.
