So I Did This Thing...

Hey there, this is my first time posting here and I'm honestly feeling pretty anxious about it. I've been dating someone for a while now and we recently started exploring some DDLG stuff together. It's kind of funny how things happen when you least expect them to. So, work has been hectic as usual. I'm on the night shift at this hospital, dealing with whatever comes in from 10 PM to 6 AM. It's not exactly glamorous but it pays the bills and keeps me busy enough that I don't think too much about life. But then this guy I've got going on has a side to him that I wasn't expecting. We started off pretty casual, went out for drinks, dinner, regular stuff like that. But he's into some roleplay kinky shit now and it took me by surprise but kinda intrigued too. So we talked about it one night after work over a cup of coffee because who needs sleep anyway? He explained to me how he likes the idea of being my 'little', which I thought was interesting at first, but then I just figured why not? If that's what turns him on, okay, cool. We started out light with some playful stuff online and over texts. But one night after work I decided to do something a bit more serious. It was late, and we'd already been chatting about pushing our limits further. He told me he wanted me to act like the strict disciplinarian parent in this little roleplay of ours. I'm 28 now, so not exactly young anymore but who cares? I went all out that night with an old leather belt (yes, a real one) and some rules and guidelines. He was nervous but also excited when we started. I acted like the strict parent, setting up bedtime routines, curfews, stuff like that. It felt weird at first, but then it clicked. I'll be honest, he did something to really piss me off in this roleplay after a while and my 'discipline' was more intense than we expected. He cried afterwards, which freaked me out, but I think it was because of the intensity of what happened. We talked about it later on when we were both less stressed. I'm still figuring things out here, but this whole DDLG thing is turning out to be a lot more than just a game for us. It's weird how something as random and unexpected as an after-work chat can lead you down this rabbit hole of discovery.
