changing the power dynamic

A few days passed without Sarah mentioning the coin, so Tom didn't press the issue. The next Friday evening they sat down to a very nice meal Sarah prepared. Tom wondered a little why she went to such an effort, but thought maybe she was just in a good mood after the de-aging from the coin.

They enjoyed the meal with some wine and light conversation. As they were finishing up, Sarah poured them both another glass of wine and sighed. "Tom, I've come to a decision."

"A decision? About the coin?" Tom asked, finally clueing in as to the nature of the extravagant meal.

"Yes, the coin. I want to do something and it's important to me that you're okay with it," she stated.

"Sarah, you know I'm up for anything," Tom responded truthfully but with some hesitation, unsure what she was leading up to.

"The coin is amazing and I do appreciate what you've done to me. But that amount of power - well, it doesn't feel right. You changed me without my permission. You have all the power, the control over me now. I don't like how it makes me feel," she explained. "I love you, you know that," she said, reaching across the table to hold his hand. "But before I can be comfortable doing much more with the coin, I need to feel in control again. So I want ... I need the next wish to give me that. To put me in a position of power over you for change."

Tom looked stunned. He was completely taken aback, not having considered this at all from Sarah's point of you.

"Just temporarily," she hastened to add. "But I need to be in charge for awhile, understand?"

He nodded slowly, thinking how he might feel in her place, knowing that she could change him body and mind without his permission. He shuddered - but from a sense of excitement as much as uneasiness. 'Maybe giving her some kind of control could actually be fun..." he thought, questioning if perhaps a part of him was turned on by the idea.

"So what do you want to do?" he asked with interest.
