    Nolie is happy in her marriage to Joseph, but things have become a bit stale in the bedroom. When Joseph suggests role-playing, Nolie is skeptical at first, but then agrees, expecting an exciting time. What she doesn’t expect is how much she’ll learn about herself and her marriage through the experience.

    “Do you ever get bored with us?”
    Nolie looked up from the newspaper. She was certainly bored with that; same old bad news, same old editorial opinions. But bored with Joseph? “No, of course not. If I was bored, I wouldn’t still be married to you, would I?”
    “You might be. Sometimes people get used to things and just kind of settle in.”
    What had brought this on? Their marriage was fine. They rarely disagreed about anything, and she loved him as much as she had the day they’d walked down the aisle. Only their sex life had gotten a little stale, but that happened to all married couples, didn’t it?
    “Of course I’m settled in,” she said. “That’s what you’re supposed to do when you’re married. Settle in, make a family, have kids if you’re so inclined. Are you bored?”
    “Not bored, exactly.” Joseph sat across from her. “When was the last time we made love?”
    “I don’t know. Last week? You’ve been working overtime, and then I had to do report cards. So yeah, I guess it’s been a while, if that’s your point.”
    “It’s been more than a while if you can’t even remember the last time we did it. That’s what I mean. Our sex life was hot as hell when we were first married, but the last year or so it’s more like an afterthought.”
    He had a point, but they both worked full time and had other responsibilities. Sex wasn’t that important.
    Wait a minute. Sex wasn’t important? All those women’s magazines she read said sex should be one of the things a couple stayed focused on. The way to connect, to keep the intimacy intact. She agreed with the advice when she read it, but apparently she didn’t agree with it in practice. Maybe something did need to change.
    “I miss sex with you,” Joseph said. “I miss lying in bed with you for hours without thinking about work. I miss fucking you so hard you scream. I want those things back.”
    “What do you suggest? We can’t just quit our jobs and fuck all day.”
    “No, but we can do things to spice it up. Make sex more interesting and maybe we’ll make time for it more often. I think making love is something a couple should find time for, don’t you? Instead of just waiting for the time to show up?”
    Exactly what they’d been doing. If time allowed, sometimes they had sex. Sometimes they just slept. But what could they do to spice things up? “Okay, I agree with you. Did you have something in mind?”
    “Role-playing.”
    “Yeah, okay. What are we going to do, go out and buy cute little costumes? Sorry, Joseph, not interested.”
    “It doesn’t have to be costumes. Think about it, Nolie. Isn’t there some fantasy you’d fulfill if you could? Hot little cheerleader with the football coach or something like that?”
    “Hardly. The only thing I ever fantasize about –” She snapped her mouth shut. She’d never dared mention it to him before; should she tell him now? Gathering her courage, she nodded and released a sigh. “Okay. Sometimes when I’m . . . well, when I’m alone, I think about what it would be like to be kidnapped.”
    “Really? Tell me more.”
