John looked down at the contract in front of him. Ever since the Sexual Reform Act had been passed five years ago, consensual slavery within a BDSM relationship had become legal. It was possible to draw up contracts - temporary or permanent - that legally bound someone to their Master, within certain bounds. The slave could obviously not be mistreated, and the Master would have full responsibility for his or her health and well-being. Within those bounds, the Master had great authority and power, however.
John had been in a relationship with Jennifer for almost three years. They had started out as a normal couple, but quickly realized that they wanted something different. He wanted to be in control, she wanted to relinquish control to him. Over the last years they had tested out several forms of slave contracts, but only for shorter periods of time - the longest had been a month - but now, they felt ready to make it permanent. Jennifer would move in with him and become his full-time slave. There was just one last catch. Jennifer wanted him to know how she felt. She wanted him to experience life from her point of view, under her thumb, just for one weekend, to better understand her.
And that was where they were now. With the PSI implants both had, they would be able to do just that. Once the deal was signed, John would become Jennifer, and Jennifer John. The contract would be processed by their implants, which would link and transfer their conciousnesses between their bodies. This wasn't really that big of a deal. John had done such transfers several times before. What was a big deal, however, was that they would not transfer the full personality. Normally, doing such swaps, the majority of what constituted a person would be transferred. This time, that would not be the case. John would remember being John, but he would feel like Jennifer. He would have access to her memories, at least partially. He would have her emotional responses, her likes and dislikes... her sexuality. And she would have his. He would be getting the full Jennifer experience this weekend, he knew that.
John looked back down at the contract, skimming it a final time. "From the moment of signing until the midnight Sunday, John Forest and Jennifer Stanton will, through the use of their PSI implants, transfer their conciousness to each others bodies. John will take on the identity, rigths, responsibilities and obligations of Jennifer, and vice versa." Following that was a number of technical details on how the implants should handle this exchange. "The parties will, after the exchange, have until 1200 Friday to adjust. At 1200 Friday, the temporary slave contract (appendix A) appended will kick in, and for the duration of this contract, Jennifer (formerly John) will be bound to John (formerly Jennifer) as per the points in this contract. The objective of this exchange is for the parties to experience the relationship from each others points of view, in preparation for a permanent slave contract binding Jennifer to John (appendix B). Once both parties have agreed that this contract is fulfilled to their satisfaction, the permanent slave contract will be legally binding, and full administrator privileges over Jennifers PSI implant will be transferred to John."
John read that last line with a grin. Not only had Jennifer finally agreed to a permanent slave contract, she had agreed to relinquish control of her PSI implant to him. This would give him even more control and power over her than he had ever had before. Excited at the thought, he decided to sign. Seconds later, he felt himself slip away. In a few moments, he knew, he would wake up over in Jennifers studio apartment downtown. For the next three and a half days, that was who he would be.
