The System
Timothy McGee sat in his car outside his boss's house. He didn't usually dither about things. Once he'd made a decision, he confidently followed through. But this was, by far, the biggest decision of his life, and he was holding on to the pre-change time he had because this change...was huge.
He was almost thirty. He was unabashedly a sub. And that meant that legally, he had to be collared before midnight on his thirtieth birthday. It didn't matter that laws were changing. It didn't matter that the Supreme Court might overturn Taylor vs Thompson. He was a federal agent and if he wanted to remain so, he had to follow the letter of the law.
He'd spent the last month contemplating every Dom he knew and now he was sitting in front of the home of only one he thought he could be collared by and be satisfied in both his home life and his professional one. He craved a strong Dom who would take care of him at home, who would allow him to exist in subspace and service a master he trusted and loved. But he also wanted to stay an agent. He'd worked too hard to give up being a field agent. That thought got him moving. This was his one chance to have it all.
Out of the car. Lock the vehicle. Up the sidewalk, the steps. Knock on the door, because as a sub in this position, it would set a bad precedent to walk in, even though he'd done it before. The door opened, and McGee could see from the feet he kept his eyes trained upon in subservience that it was the man he'd hoped would answer standing before him. He dropped to his knees and lowered his forehead to the threshold. Then he waited.
His future hung in the moment, and his shoulders finally relaxed. The decision was out of his hands.
"I accept provisionally for one year. We'll register it tomorrow. Go home," Gibbs ordered.
And Tim obeyed.
A/N Based in a Xanthe-esque verse, per a request from someone who wishes to remain anonymous, this is an explicit BDSM story about Tim becoming Gibbs's sub. I'm posting future chapters on AO3 (archiveofourown dot org) and AFF (adult dash fanfiction dot org). Follow me on Twitter for announcements on what's getting posted when and where, #fanficupdate. I'll also put into on my profile here.
