Shift Work Kink...

I've always felt an odd pull towards the night shift at work. The quiet hours after midnight are when I feel most alive and free to think outside my usual box. Last week, while on a particularly long stretch of nights, I got this idea: what if work was a kind of play? It wasn't sexual per se, but it felt like a turn-on all the same. There's something about wearing the badge that sets up a different dynamic between me and others, especially my partner who isn't in on this particular fantasy. I started to imagine scenarios where I had more authority or control over situations at work, not just as a night-shift worker but also as someone who could step into a dominant role in other contexts. This sparked an interest in D/s dynamics... which led me to wonder how it might translate into my relationship with my partner. So here's the thing, I confide this to you because I'm unsure if I should bring this up with her or just let it simmer as a personal fantasy. Is exploring D/s elements at home when we're both adults okay, even if only one of us has any interest in such play? It seems like an odd tangent from my usual work life but... am I the only one who sees the connection?
