It was seven o’clock in the morning when Ann was woken up by the lousy snore coming out of her best friend’s mouth that was wide open. She rubbed her eyes till she could clearly see before she stood up and crawled out of the bed. She went to the kitchen and grabbed a cup from the cabinet before filling it with water after turning on the tap. She turned it off and gulped in the water at once and dropped the cup on the counter.
She walked to the table at the edge of the room and took her seat. She has promised Silver that she would accept the doctor offer but she needs to know what she’s getting herself into. She opened her laptop that was on the table and turned it on. She scrolled to the google app and tapped on the search tab.
“Submissive”. She typed before she clicked on search and waited patiently for the response to pop out, which it did.
“Ready to conform to the authority or will of others; meekly obedient or passive”. She read but still found it hard to understand, so she scrolled and tapped on the photos. The moment it opened, her jaw dropped open; seeing pictures of naked women, teens in handcuffs. Their hands were behind their back, while their knees were on the floor. Their necks were chained as if they were like some sort of an animal. And then, she saw a man standing in front of them, holding the chain that was bond to their neck with a flogger.
She quickly closed the laptop. She was horrified that she didn’t know she had been holding her breath for so long. She released her lung and breath for air. She chuckled,” That’s impossible, no, no,no,no”. Ann said, trying hard not to believe what she had seen.
She opened the laptop again and quickly tapped ‘all’ so she could read further.
“To be submissive is to obey or yield to someone else. When you are submissive, you submit to someone else will, which literally, you put your own desires lower than theirs. You can see this in the Latin root of submit, submittere, which is formed by sub- “under” + mittere “send, put.” She reads.
"Definitions of submissive”. She whispered quietly as she came across another definition and read through. They almost sound the same.
“What does it mean to sign a submissive contract”. She typed and tapped for answers.
“Lifestyle submissive have sets of rules between themselves and their partners which govern their relationship. It might be small things such as calling your partner a term like ‘sir’ or ‘master’, it could be doing domestic labor, or it could involve spending large amounts of time naked in a cage”. She read and she almost choked on her own breath. She began to cough while caressing her neck which woke Silver up from sleep.
“What are you doing up this early and naked”. Silver yawned and stretched when her gaze met with Ann.
“You gotta see this Silver ''. Ann said as she carried the laptop from the table and strode to the bed. She placed it in front of Silver so she could see. “Look at this''. She showed her the picture she had seen previously. “This is what that fucking doctor wants to do to me, no wonder he said he can’t touch me till I sign the contract”. She recalled and Silver rolled her eyes as if she was uninterested in the discussion.
