She can't handle it. We're eliding past what I thought of as weeks of vacillating, but I just needed to set up the reasons for Darcy's conflicted attitude.
importantly I don't want to blame Denise for this or make her look like a bad person - she's not, she just isn't able to handle this kink. and i don't think that's unusual, this is a common scenario for many couples where one is kinky and one definitely isn't.
perhaps something will happen down the road. :)
