How It All Began


I met Wolfman nearly 2 years ago through mutual friends. We hit it off immediately, but as luck would have it, we were both in relationships with other people. Whenever our paths would cross we would chat; sharing thoughts, feelings, and ideas we both usually kept to ourselves. Over time, our other relationships fell apart. Three months ago, Wolfman called me and our courtship ensued.


It was a romantic, magical time. Emotions both of us had suppressed bubbled to the surface. Things progressed quickly and within a month of our first official date, Wolfman and I got married in a small private ceremony. It was everything I wanted my wedding to be - outside under the stars. Our souls found each other and came together surrounded by the universe.


Wolfman, my modern day cowboy, is a jack of all trades who currently pays the mortgage and puts food on the table by driving a truck. I should say, he drives an 22-wheeler and is on the road for days, sometimes weeks, at a time. I am a technical writer working out of my home. During that first week after our wedding, when Wolfman was on the road, I felt lost and abandoned. Through the long, lonely nights, I devised a plan to be able to spend much more time with my Wolf.


Following our passionate reunion, snuggled in Wolf's arms, I asked, "Wouldn't you like to have company on the road?" "I don't know, I have never minded being alone. Why do you ask, Darling?" "How about if I come with you on your next trip? I could work on the laptop when I need to and we could spend more time together." I smiled coyly at Wolfman as my fingers traces circles through the hair on his chest.


"Charlie, I am working when on the road. You may get bored." "No, I promise, I won't." I leaned over and placed a lingering kiss on Wolf's lips. He thought about it for a long time and said, "We will try it on my next trip. But, Charlie, I am the boss in the truck cab. What I say goes. If you come, you have to obey whatever I tell you to do or pay the consequences."


I thought about it for a few seconds and decided being ordered about here and there was a small price to pay for the fun I knew I would have with my Wolf. Anything was better than the days of loneliless I had just lived through and I figured I could get around Wolfman when I wanted to. Then I had another delightful thought. "It's a deal but I am the boss of the house. When we are home, what I say goes and if you don't listen to me you will pay the consequences." Wolfman chuckled and agreed.
