[gentle504]

Ok here's one for yall.

A young man works for a company the has predominately female higher ups. He is on a fast track in his field and his goal is stay career focus. With a promotion coming up he works twice as hard to earn it which catches the attention of the company president. The president sees that he can do great things not only for the company but life as well but as she looks deeper into him she finds herself falling for him. When he gets the promotion she soon realizes that his career focus attitude causes him to become less of the man she fell for. Having seen what becomes of people who were like that she decides to stop him. She seduces him into a relationship. As he begins to be himself around her but also she realizes that both of them have a bread winning attitude which clashes all the time. After one particular argument he's ready to call it quits. It's then she realizes that she can't go on without him. As she thinks of their relationship and everything they've done and shared with each other a plan begins to form in her head on how to get him. Calling him one day to meet up on the premise of apologizing and letting him know that things won't be differnt at work. When he gets there she drugs him and take him somewhere far away. After getting to the location and waking him up she reveals her plan to make him submit to her and become a stay home dad.

The ways could very on how she breaks his will.

Also here are a few things about the characters

*The female is a woman who wants a family but doesn't want to give up her career.

*The male isn't a submissive or dominate he's just a go getter wanting the best.

You've got a unique plot going; there are few that really catch my attention these days, so kudos.

Can you give me a bit of clarity on a few topics, though? So his drive toward that promotion catches her attention and ultimately makes her attracted to him, but when he finally advances, that same drive is a turnoff for her? I'm puzzled by that. What am I missing?

And then to kick him back a notch, she figures hooking up with the guy will divert his efforts he would have put into advancing his career into her? As in she'd like to shape him into being a "lifemate" than this career-centric professional superstar he's turning into?

Like most compelling stories, this is about a power struggle between individuals and I like that. Add that with some dubiously motivated intentions as you have and it could be a really good tale. The end, I'll be honest, isn't what I anticipated when I first started reading, but it does fit with the dark colouring of the story.

She is attracted to him for his career focus at first but as she gets to know him both outside and inside the job she sees the potential of being career driven and also a stay at home husband. The main reason why she wants him is because he fits her perfectly and she would rather change him to fit her needs than the other way around.

So their attitudes "clash all the time" and she has to drug him to get him somewhere, but they are perfect fit?
Maybe I am tired of "clashing attitudes" in my life, but I dont see the above scenario as something attractive.

I dont understand why would a man sincerely focused on his career be even remotely interested in staying at home? Is he so madly in love with her (and if he is why would she have to drug him in first place)? Does he have some hidden desires deep inside he is not aware of? What would make him not just knock her senseless after waking up and happily go back to his life?

And in the end, if he fits her so perfectly, why would she want to change him into someone completely different?

 

[gentle504]

Hmmm good point. I guess since she saw both sides of and liked them she could some how merge them. As to him waking up and knocking her out maybe he's hesitant because of their past or as you said he has the desire and isn't aware of it yet

Maybe the guy actually really wants the quiet family life, but can't admit that to himself because he is so wrapped up in what society/family/friends say the man's role should be. For example, he's trying to please an overbearing and emotionally unavailable father. The woman sees that his whole macho, competitive, win at all costs mentality is just a facade. She loves him for the sensitive, caring person she glimpses underneath, but knows she will have to break through the facade if their relationship can work...

 

[gentle504]

Yes! That could work.
