The Stranger from the Forum Taught Me to Obey

My name is Marisol, I’m forty-one years old, and I’m one of those women who go unnoticed at the supermarket. I live in a small apartment on the outskirts, married to a truck driver who spends more time on the road than at home, and I’m the mother of a teenage daughter who barely lifts her head from her phone when I speak to her. My days are a repeated sequence: ironing shirts, heating dinner, washing dishes, watching the afternoon soap opera so the silence doesn’t feel quite so heavy.

What nobody knows is that I have a secret. At night, when the house is asleep and the only sound is the hum of the refrigerator, I open my laptop and write. Raw, unfiltered erotic stories. Scenes of dripping pussies and hard cocks that I could never recount aloud. Women tied up with their legs spread, men ordering where to put their mouths, skin marked by slaps, cum splashing and mouths swallowing it. I publish them on an anonymous forum under the pseudonym “VoiceInTheShadow.” Knowing there are guys jerking off while reading me, that there are women with two fingers buried in their pussies to the rhythm of my sentences, gives me something my daytime life hasn’t offered me in years.

One early morning, after uploading a story about a woman surrendering to a stranger in a hotel room—a scene in which she sucked his cock on her knees while he pulled her hair and fucked her mouth until he came on her tongue—I received a private message. It was signed by someone named Octavio.

“Your latest story kept me awake. You described control and surrender with a precision only someone who has lived it could have. I have lived it. I’m a widower, I’m fifty-eight, and I’d like to talk to you. Do you dare?”

It took me twenty minutes to answer. My heart hammered against my chest as if I’d been caught doing something. I wrote back: “Yes. Tell me.”

We began talking every night. Octavio was a retired architect, widowed for seven years. His wife had been his submissive for nearly three decades. He told me about it without shame, with a serenity that made the subject sound more intimate than offensive. “It isn’t violence. It’s trust taken to the limit. The submissive is the one who’s really in charge. She’s the one who decides how far, and therefore where we go.” He described rituals to me: the weight of a silk rope around the wrists, the cold of leather brushing against skin, the breath held before the first slap on naked buttocks, the open mouth waiting for the cock that was going to fuck it.

I read him with my hand between my thighs. With two fingers buried to the knuckle in my pussy and my thumb pressed against my clitoris, biting my lip so I wouldn’t moan. My husband snored in the next room, unaware that his wife was coming silently while thinking about a stranger. Octavio never asked me for compromising pictures. He asked for the palm of my open hand, the nape of my neck when I moved my hair aside, my bare feet on the wooden floor. Details. Small tests of obedience that didn’t seem like obedience.

Until one Thursday, after three months of messages, he wrote:

“Tomorrow I’ll be in the city. There’s a small hotel, the Atrio, on Mendoza Street. I’ll reserve a room in your name. Come up at five. You don’t need to say anything when you arrive. If you don’t want to come, don’t. But if you do come, you already know what’s going to happen.”

I spent the night wide awake. I put my hand inside my panties three times and came just as many, and still I couldn’t sleep. In the morning I told my daughter I had a sewing class, left dinner prepared, and walked out of the house with trembling legs and already-wet panties. I wore a straight skirt down to my knees, a pearl-gray blouse, and a pair of sheer stockings I’d kept for years without ever wearing. In my purse, a brush, lipstick, and an envelope filled with cash so there would be no trace on my card.

***

The Atrio was one of those old hotels with creaking wooden floors. I asked at reception for room 304. The girl handed me the key without looking at me twice. I went up in a narrow elevator that smelled of wax. In front of the door, I stood for a long minute with my hand raised. Then I knocked.

Octavio opened the door wearing a white shirt with the sleeves rolled up and dark trousers. He was taller than I had imagined. His hair was short and gray, and a neatly trimmed beard framed pale eyes that didn’t smile at me, but didn’t intimidate me either. He smelled of cologne with an undertone of cold tobacco.

“Come in, Marisol,” he said, stepping aside.

I entered. The room had a large bed, a leather armchair beside the window, and, on the table, a tray with a bottle of water and two glasses. Nothing spectacular. Nothing that looked like the setting of a story.

“Sit down,” he instructed, indicating the armchair.

I sat. He remained standing, leaning against the dresser.

“Did you have anything to drink before coming?”

“A coffee,” I said.

“Good. I want you awake.”

He poured water into both glasses. He handed me one. I took a sip. My hand trembled just enough to make the water dance inside the glass.

“We’re going to talk first,” he continued. “Nothing happens here that you don’t want. If at any point you say ‘red,’ we stop. I don’t argue, negotiate, or insist. Is that clear?”

“Yes.”

“I want to hear the whole word. Repeat it.”

“Red.”

“Good. Have you done this before?”

“No.”

“Have you imagined it?”

“Hundreds of times.”

He smiled for the first time. A brief, almost private smile.

“Then let’s begin with something resembling what you’ve imagined.”

***

He asked me to stand up and undress. No hurry. No theatrical gestures. I obeyed him with clumsy fingers. My blouse fell first, then my skirt. I was left standing before him in my bra and stockings, while the afternoon light slanted through a gap in the curtain and illuminated half my body.

“The stockings stay,” he said. “Nothing else.”

I unclasped my bra. My tits, which my husband had barely looked at for years, swung free. My nipples hardened like stones before he even touched them, just from imagining it. Then I put my hands to my panties and pulled them down over my thighs, letting them fall to the floor. They were soaked, so wet they stuck to my pussy lips as I pulled them off. Octavio looked at the dark stain on the cotton without saying anything, but the corner of his mouth moved slightly.

“Turn around. Slowly. I want to see all of you.”

I turned. I felt his eyes traveling over my ass, the curve of my back, the dark bush between my legs when I faced him again. I didn’t cover myself with my hands. I didn’t dare.

Octavio came closer. He didn’t kiss me. He ran two fingers slowly along the curve of my neck, as if measuring me. He moved down over my collarbone, circled one breast without touching the nipple, traced the side of my waist, and stopped at my hip. Then he lowered his hand and ran one fingertip along the slit of my pussy, from top to bottom, barely brushing it. When he lifted his finger, it was shining. He held it in front of my mouth.

“Lick it.”

I opened my lips and took it. I tasted like myself, like salt and hunger. I licked it all the way to the base, looking into his eyes.

“Good girl. Lie on your back on the bed. Arms over your head.”

I did as he asked. The stockings brushed against the cotton sheet. I felt the cold air on my naked skin and, beneath it, a heat I didn’t know how to handle.

He took two burgundy silk ropes from a travel bag. He tied my wrists one at a time, with knots that were soft but firm. He tested the tension by slipping a finger between the rope and my skin.

“Is it too tight?”

“No.”

“If it gets too tight at any point, tell me.”

I nodded.

He sat on the edge of the bed and watched me for a long while without touching me. I could feel my breathing growing faster and faster. He ran a hand over my thigh, above the stocking, up to the edge where the skin became bare again. There he stopped.

“Tell me what you’ve written this week.”

“Now?”

“Now.”

I stammered through the beginning of a story. I spoke of a woman offering herself to a stranger at a train station. As I talked, his hand moved upward. When I reached the moment when the stranger lifted her dress on the platform and put two fingers in her pussy in front of the travelers, Octavio’s fingers slipped between my lips and found the wetness I’d been building up since I left the hotel door.

“Keep telling it,” he said, beginning to move them in slow circles over my clitoris.

I couldn’t. The words stopped halfway out. He lowered his fingers, plunged them knuckle-deep into my pussy, and began fucking me slowly, pulling them out gleaming and pushing them back in. With his thumb he rubbed my clitoris at the same time. The sounds of my wet pussy were obscene; they could be heard throughout the room.

“Listen,” he said. “Listen to how wet you are. How long have you been like this?”

“Since… since I left home.”

“Good girl.”

He brought me to the edge twice and stopped just before I came, each time. He pulled out his fingers and ran them over my nipples, my lips, my neck, marking me with my own juices.

“When you come,” he said, “it will be when I decide. Not before.”

I tried. I really tried. I squeezed my legs together, bit my lower lip, held my breath. He spread my knees with his free hand and continued. He lowered his head, and without warning I felt his hot tongue land squarely on my clitoris. I howled, making a sound I didn’t recognize as my own. He licked me slowly, in circles, then sucked my swollen bud between his lips. He plunged two fingers into me again while he sucked, searching for something inside with his fingertip, and found it.

“Look at me,” he ordered, lifting his glistening face toward mine.

I looked at him. His mouth and beard dripped with me. His eyes never left mine.

“Now.”

He plunged his tongue between my legs again, and I came in his mouth while looking at him. It was long, filthy, much louder than I expected. A tremor ran up and down my back, my hips pushing against his face, the rope biting into my wrist. He didn’t stop until I stopped shaking, and when he lifted his head, he wiped the back of his hand across his mouth without taking his eyes off me.

***

Afterward he untied one hand so I could drink. He held the glass for me. He wiped the sweat from my neck with a cotton handkerchief.

“How are you?”

“Here.”

“Good.”

He tied me up again. This time he undressed. His body was that of a man who took care of himself without obsessing over it: broad shoulders, an old scar along his side, a tan line where a watch had once been. And between his legs, his cock was already erect, thick, its tip shining with pre-cum. He didn’t describe it with grandiose words, and he didn’t need to. It was flesh, presence, a real weight on the mattress, and a hard cock that was going to enter me.

“Before anything else,” he said, “I want to see you work that mouth.”

He released both my hands. He stood beside the bed. I slid down until I was kneeling on the floor in front of him, my stockings wrinkling around my thighs. I gripped his cock with one hand—it was heavy, throbbing—and ran my tongue along its entire length, from his balls to the glans. He placed a hand on the back of my neck, not squeezing, guiding me.

“Open. All the way.”

I opened my mouth and he pushed his cock all the way in. The tip brushed my throat and I gagged for a second, but I didn’t pull away. I began sucking him, moving my head up and down and helping myself with my hand. He set the pace with his palm on the back of my neck. Saliva began streaming down my chin, falling onto my tits.

“That’s it. Look at me while you eat my cock.”

I lifted my eyes without taking him out of my mouth. I saw his jaw tense, his lips pressed together, his heavy breathing. He pulled his cock out himself, ran the glistening head over my cheeks and lips, marking my face with his saliva and mine. Then he made me open again and pushed it back in, this time fucking my mouth at a slow pace until my eyes began to water without it hurting.

“Enough,” he said hoarsely, pulling his cock out. A strand of saliva hung from my lower lip to its tip. “Up. To the bed.”

I lay down again. He tied my wrists above my head once more. He put on a condom slowly. I watched him do it. That small gesture brought back the feeling that I was in something cared for, not something lost.

He opened my legs and positioned himself between them. He rubbed the head of his cock along the slit of my pussy, up and down, rubbing it against my clitoris until I moaned and begged for it. Then he entered me in a single thrust that cut off my breath and arched my back off the bed. I’d spent years accustomed to hurried sex, almost something requested out of habit. This was something else. He held my hips with both hands and set a slow, deep rhythm that forced me to feel every inch entering and leaving me. Every thrust ended with his balls slapping against my ass.

“Tell me what you want,” he said without speeding up. “In words.”

“Harder.”

“Harder what?”

“Fuck me harder. Please.”

“Good girl.”

He sped up. His hips began pounding against me with a wet, carnal sound that filled the room. The bed creaked. I pulled against the ropes without realizing it, my tits bouncing with every thrust. He lowered his head and caught one nipple between his teeth, tugging lightly. Then he slapped me once, twice, three times along the curve of my breast. The slaps didn’t hurt the way I had imagined. They burned and lingered warm, and each one made my pussy squeeze around his cock.

“Turn around,” he said, pulling out abruptly. The emptiness made me moan.

He untied one hand so I could turn over. I ended up on all fours, my ass raised toward him and my wrists crossed behind my back, tied again by him with the same silk rope. I felt his hand spreading my buttocks, then the head of his cock at my entrance again, getting wet against me. He thrust his cock back into me from behind, all the way in.

“Ah… fuck,” I gasped into the pillow.

“That mouth,” he said with a low laugh. “Keep going.”

“Fuck me. Fuck my pussy. Please.”

He pounded into me hard, gripping my hips and pulling me backward to drive himself deeper. With one hand he moved my hair aside and wound it around his fist, holding it like a bridle. He forced me to lift my face from the mattress. His other hand moved down and his fingers found my clitoris again, rubbing it in circles to the rhythm of his thrusts.

“Ask for it,” he said.

“Please.”

“Ask properly.”

“Please, let me come.”

“Come on my cock.”

I did, screaming into the arm folded beneath my face. I came with my pussy squeezing his cock in spasms, soaking it, while he kept fucking me without slowing down, prolonging my orgasm until my knees began to shake. He came shortly afterward, with a low groan and his hands digging into my hips, thrusting a few more times while already empty, his forehead resting between my shoulder blades and a sound in his throat that seemed like long-postponed relief.

He stayed inside me for a few seconds, breathing against my back. When he pulled out, I felt a thread of moisture run down my inner thigh.

***

He untied me slowly. He massaged my wrists, shoulders, and hips. He placed a robe over my shoulders and sat me in the armchair. He brought me more water. For a while he simply looked at me.

“Do you want to come next Thursday?”

It took me a while to answer. Not because I was unsure. Because I knew the answer would change my life.

“Yes.”

“We won’t always do this. Sometimes we’ll talk. Sometimes we’ll read. Sometimes I’ll ask you for things smaller than this, and other times for things bigger. You decide each time.”

“And the stories?”

“You’ll keep writing the stories,” he said. “For your forum. For yourself. I don’t want you to stop. I only want, every now and then, to be one of them.”

I began laughing without knowing why. Then I began crying, and he didn’t move from where he was. He waited. He returned my clothes when I was ready. When I pulled my panties back on, I could still feel his semen and my orgasm mixed together, trickling inside my stockings.

I went down the stairs instead of taking the elevator. When I got home, my daughter asked whether it had rained because my hair looked different. I told her yes, a little.

That night, late, with my husband snoring beside me again, I opened my laptop. I still had red marks from the rope around my wrists, and my pussy ached in a way I no longer remembered. I wrote a new story. I wrote about a woman tied face down, her face buried in a pillow, while a man fucked her pussy from behind and called her a good girl. I uploaded it to the forum. I didn’t tell Octavio about him. There was no need. He would read it, as always, and between the lines he would know that the woman surrendering to a stranger in a small room was the two of us.

And Thursdays, from then on, stopped being just another day.
