A Long-Buried Secret from My Youth

I've been married for over thirty years now, and I rarely look back at my life before our union. However, there's this one incident that has lingered in the shadows of my mind since college, something that happened well before I met my wife. It was during a particularly tumultuous summer when we all let loose with less inhibition than usual. I was exploring an intense kink scene with a classmate, a mutual fantasy involving dominance and submission. We were both very careful to ensure it was consensual and safe, but looking back, I realize how far from my current life it was. The memory has always been there, quietly nagging at me, reminding me of choices I made long ago when everything seemed less clear-cut. It's not something I would ever share with anyone close to me, yet the urge to talk about it occasionally feels overwhelming.
