My Unexpected Kink Confession as Mommy in Retail

I've been working at this retail job for a couple of years now. I never thought that being someone's disciplinary figure would fit my life, but here we are. One of our regular customers, let’s call him Alex, often comes into the shop and talks to me about everything from books to life advice. Over time, he started sharing more personal stuff, like how he struggles with adult responsibilities and feels lost at times. This is where it gets tricky. I realized I enjoyed guiding him towards better choices, almost as if I was filling a maternal role in his life but with an adult twist. We agreed on some ground rules for this dynamic, which involved me enforcing boundaries and encouraging Alex to be more responsible. It’s strange how much I enjoy being Mommy, but it’s clear that this arrangement helps him feel grounded and accountable. This isn’t just about discipline or power play; there’s a genuine care component here that I’m still trying to understand in the context of our dynamic.
