RED SHOES
By JoAnna Michaels
I eased the car into the driveway and shut off the engine. My
hands began to shake again. I glanced at the three small
children, two girls and a boy, playing in the Hanson's front
yard. The little boy, who I vaguely remembered lived two houses
down the street from us, was being chased in erratic circles by
the girls. His delighted shrieks mingled with the late afternoon
cacophony of traffic and barking dogs.
I wondered if Helen would be home yet. I hoped the house would
still be empty. I couldn't stomach the prospect of telling her
my interview, the first in well over a month, had gone poorly.
Another faint hope dashed; I was still unemployed with little
chance of finding work anytime soon.
I continued sitting in the car, trying to find the strength to
step out into the late afternoon sunshine. I felt exhausted. I
had felt almost cheerful this morning before leaving for my
interview with a vice-president of Allied Financial. "Good
luck," Helen had said with the first small smile she had given
me in weeks. On the way into town I had fantasized about getting
the job and having a paycheck again. Things would be different,
I had told myself. Life would get better. Helen would love me
again.
But, now, seven hours later, things were only worse. "Thank you
very much for coming in," Mr. Franks, the Allied VP, had said
with the obligatory dead smile and handshake. "If anything
should change and we have an opening for you I'll certainly be
in touch." I had spent the rest of the day aimlessly driving
around and feeling sorry for myself.
Still paralyzed, I thought about what Helen would do when she
learned I had failed again to find work. As bad as the past year
had been for me it had been good for her. Two promotions at Ryan
Enterprises had almost doubled her salary. Her blend of
executive and computer skills, not to mention her tall redheaded
beauty, had her on the fast-track to a top position at the
company. She had become a favorite of Jack Ryan, the hard-
driving company CEO. She had hinted to me a month before that
she was being groomed to take over the company's entire business
software production division.
I wondered if this would be the final straw for her, if she
would leave me? For several months now we had been having
ferocious arguments followed by days of numbing silence. We
hadn't had sex now in two months. I knew I was mostly to blame.
At first, after losing my job at Chemical, she had been very
supportive. I had been the one sulking, getting drunk three or
four nights a week, picking fights with her for little or no
reason. Slowly, over those first six months I had been out of
work, she had withdrawn from me.
"Really, Joe, what damn good are you?" she had said during our
last fight. "I mean to me? You don't make any money. You don't
do a damn thing around the house except eat, sleep, sulk and
feel sorry for yourself." Her voice had been as hard as frozen
steel. "For what you cost me I could get a maid, a good- looking
young pool boy and a dog and have plenty of money left over."
My cheeks burned with the memory of her words. She was right. I
was useless. I began to cry and then immediately hated myself
for it. The sudden burst of anger gave me the strength to open
the car door. If she was inside, I vowed to myself, at least I'd
take her derision and scorn silently.
The house was empty. I threw off my jacket and tie and headed
toward the kitchen. I wanted a drink. Scotch, Vodka, it didn't
matter; even a beer would do. That son of a bitch from Allied
hadn't given me a fair chance. He'd only glanced at my resume
before starting his brush-off speech. Asshole, I thought. I
hoped he got his in the next corporate layoff.
I was half way to the refrigerator when I saw her note. Lying on
the dining room table next to the small vase of yellow,
artificial flowers, it was written on an oversized pale blue
sheet from one of her legal pads. Even from across the room I
could recognize her looping, precise handwriting.
I froze again. My hands started trembling. I was certain I knew
what message those precise little loops would contain. She
couldn't even tell me she was divorcing me in person. I thought
of all those neat, typed letters I had received from various
companies in response to my mailed resumes. I wondered if
Helen's note, too, began, "we regret to inform you..."
I suddenly felt furious with her. How dare she leave me just
because I was out of work! I'd hire the best damn divorce lawyer
I could find; I'd take her for all she was worth. Hell, I'd even
ask for alimony! Just as suddenly the fire inside me went out
and I began to cry. I loved her. I couldn't live without her. I
vowed to myself I'd do anything, absolutely anything, to
convince her to stay. I'd make up for the last year; I'd quit
being such a self-pitying jerk. As I walked toward the dining
room table I knew it was hopeless. Once Helen made up her mind
there was no changing it. As I reached for the note I began to
think about suicide.
"Joe," it began, "you have two choices. At this point I really
don't care which one you choose. First, you can leave now. If
you choose to leave, I want all of your stuff out of the house
by tomorrow morning. I don't care where you go. Just don't come
back. If you do leave our marriage is over. I won't see you, or
speak to you, again except in court."
My legs suddenly went limp; I felt like iron bands were slowly
constricting my chest. I slumped into a chair, tried to steady
myself, then resumed reading.
"Your second choice is to become utterly and totally submissive
to me without reservation - to do exactly what I tell you to do
at all times. If you choose this second choice, Joe, I warn you
it will not be easy. If you disobey me at any time for any
reason I will kick you out immediately and our marriage will be
over. You will not have a second chance. Frankly, I don't think
you're man enough to try it my way. It's your choice. If you are
willing to submit to me completely on my terms, you will find
your first commands in a note on my bed."
-------------
I felt dizzy. Somehow, her words didn't make any sense to me. I
read the note again and again. Submit? Utterly and totally? What
did she mean? I pushed the note aside and got a beer out of the
refrigerator. To hell with her, I thought as I took the first
cold swallow. Not man enough to try it her way? I snorted and
took another long, deep swig from the bottle. I paced around the
kitchen, trying to summon up enough angry courage to find a
suitcase, pack my clothes and slam the front door behind me.
Beneath my phony anger, however, I could sense a growing surge
of fear.
Where could I go? I didn't have a dime of my own. I shook my
head at how foolish I had been to have insisted, two years ago,
on separate bank accounts. I hardly knew anyone in the city;
we'd only been here three years. My family lived in Sacramento,
almost half a continent away. Images of the solitary homeless
men picking slowly through the dumpsters and shuffling out of
cut-rate liquor stores on South Turner Street heightened my
sense of dread.
Then the reality of what my life would be like without Helen
drove into my heart like a thousand wasps. I dropped the half-
empty bottle into the sink and slumped against the wall.
Memories marched through my mind like departing ghosts: the
royal blue coat she wore and the way she toyed with her hair the
first time we met; that first night of reckless Summer passion
on the pungent forest floor; the clouds of steam produced by her
riotous, joyful laughter the snowy night I proposed.
I went back to the table and read her note again. The dizziness
returned. "Submit." The word burrowed with a whisper into my
mind. "Utterly and completely." I knew I could not live my life
without being with her, being a part of hers. "I warn you it
will not be easy." All I wanted at that moment was to hold her,
hold on to some part of her, forever. "If you are willing to
submit to me completely on my terms..." I could no longer think.
I stood, wiped the tears from my eyes and slowly walked toward
the bedroom.
"Joe, I doubt you will read this, but if you are,
congratulations. There may be hope for us. On the top shelf of
the closet you will find a large box. It contains your new
clothes. You are to strip as soon as you finish this note. It
doesn't matter what you do with the clothes you are wearing now;
you won't be needing them again. Once you are naked open the
box. When you see what is inside you will be tempted to disobey
me. Remember, you must obey or leave. If you remain you must
wear everything in the box. Once you are dressed you are to call
me for further instructions. You may reach me at 555-0901."
Without thinking I began undressing. Even though I was alone I
felt slightly embarrassed removing the last of my clothing. Now
naked, I opened the sliding closet door. The box was black
cardboard. I reached up, slid it off the shelf then carried it
to the bed. It was surprisingly light. For several silent
moments I hesitated before removing the lid. Finally, deciding
that I would wear whatever she had placed inside, I plucked the
box open and stared down at its contents.
A white, sheer slip, a matching set of white panties and
brassiere, a white garter belt and matching white stockings. For
an instant I could not breathe. Remember, you must obey or
leave.
I forced myself to inhale, then slowly lifted the box and dumped
the lingerie onto the bed. I wasn't quite sure what to put on
first. At last I decided on the panties. I fumbled trying to put
them on. The cool, thin material slid easily up my leg.
It took me forever to successfully manage the garter belt and
stockings. Fearful of ripping the delicate material, I inched
each stocking up a leg. The tiny snaps on the garters were as
slippery as now born snakes. When at last I got to the brassiere
I discovered it was heavily padded. Finally, with a sigh of
relief, I pulled the slip down over my head and started for the
telephone on the Helen's bedside table. Just as I was about to
pick up the phone I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror on
the opposite wall. Stunned by my absurd reflection, I had a
sudden and powerful urge to rip everything off and flee the
house. "You will not have a second chance..."
"Helen?" My mouth was as dry as a Summer sidewalk. "It's Joe."
"Are you dressed?" Her voice was crisp and business like.
"Yes, dammit! But, Jesus, Helen, what the -"
"Joe," she cut me off; her voice was harsh. "Listen to me. Do
not speak like that again. Do you understand?"
I swallowed the angry words that had come to mind. "Yes." I
said, feeling totally frightened and bewildered.
"Are you wearing everything?" I said I was. "Good! How does it
feel? Tell me how it feels, Joe."
I didn't know what to say. I was afraid to tell her the truth,
that I felt humiliated. "I don't know," I finally lied.
"Joe, you are lying to me! You must not ever lie to me again."
My cheeks flushed. "Now, Joe, I want you to stand up and look at
yourself in the mirror. Take off the slip so you can see
yourself in just the bra, panties and hose."
I did as Helen ordered. "Tell me who you see in the mirror." Her
voice was softer now.
"I don't understand," I mumbled, eyeing my bizarre reflection.
"I see me, Joe, in..."
"No," Helen said, almost whispering now. Her voice was full of
soft feathers, the way it used to be when we made love. "You
don't see Joe. Joe's gone, darling. You see my JoAnna, my
beautiful little JoAnna, my new maid."
"Helen, I can't --"
"Then leave." Her voice was cold again. I shivered. "I knew you
couldn't do it. Goodbye, Joe."
"No! Helen, wait!" I was shaking, afraid she'd hang up. "I can
do it. Please, don't leave me."
"Who do you see? Look in the mirror and tell who you see."
I stared once more at my reflection. I saw a slender man in his
mid-thirties, about five seven, with short brown hair and pale
legs and arms, wearing a white brassiere, panties and stockings.
"I see JoAnna," I said softly.
"Good," she cooed, the feathers back in her voice. "Very good,
JoAnna!" I trembled. It felt cold in the room. "Now, my darling,
I have a special gift for you, for being so good."
"A gift?" I replied stupidly.
She laughed, that same wonderful laugh I had remembered earlier.
It had been a very long time since I had heard it. "Yes,
sweetie. A very special gift for my new JoAnna!" She told me to
put down the phone and look for a white shoebox in the corner of
the closet. She told me not to open the box until I was back on
the line with her. "Are you ready to see your gift?" she asked
softly when I picked up the phone after retrieving the shoebox.
It was a pair of bright red high heels. The spikes were at least
four inches long. "Put them on," she commanded. I put down the
phone, then forced my feet one at a time into the too-small
shoes. I almost fell when I tried to stand; the shoes were
treacherous. Helen must have heard me grunt when I caught myself
by falling against the wall. "Oh, dear," she laughed, "is JoAnna
having trouble with her new shoes? Don't worry, my pet, you will
get plenty of practice."
I eased myself away from the wall with tiny little steps. I
looked down at my feet. Even in the shadow of the bed the high
heels sparkled. "Now, JoAnna, I want you to listen to me very
carefully." The business tone was back in Helen's voice. "I will
be home in precisely forty minutes. You will make me a vodka
tonic just before I arrive. Have it on the coffee table. I want
you to be on your knees beside the couch, with you head down,
when I come through the door. Be sure and put your slip back on.
When I enter you will not look at me, or speak, until I speak to
you. Do you understand?"
"Yes," I said.
"Oh, JoAnna, there's one more thing." I tensed, wondering what
further humiliation she had in store for me. "When I come home
I won't be alone."
Helen hung up before I could say anything; the dial tone droned
in my ear. Putting down the phone, I slumped slowly down onto
the bed, stunned by her final words. I shivered and clutched the
flimsy slip to my body. Strangely, I did not think about
leaving. The thought never crossed my mind. What I did want to
do was hide. I wanted to find some small dark crevice I could
crawl into to avoid her promised confrontation. I knew that was
hopeless. I looked the clock over her bed. It was 6:40. She
would be home, perhaps with a stranger, at 7:20.
For slightly more than thirty minutes I did not move. I sat
quietly on the edge of her bed, by the phone, my mind not really
focused. The red high heels were pinching my feet; the toes on
my left foot stung. I looked down at my thin legs. Encased in
the delicate, white stockings, they looked different, strange,
as if they did not belong to me at all. The thought passed my
mind that I could not really tell, just by looking, if these
legs were male or female. I rubbed my forehead and cheek with
one hand. Without thinking about it, I let my hand drop to my
chest. The gradual swelling beneath my slip, created by the
padded brassiere, reminded me of the way Helen's breasts felt
when I caressed her through her blouse. I shivered again and
looked at the clock. 7:10.
This couldn't be real, it couldn't really be happening to me. It
had to be a game! Or maybe she was testing me. She'd come
through the door, glance at her waiting drink and at me dressed
in this ridiculous fashion and kneeling beside the couch, and
she would laugh. Then I'd laugh, too, and she'd tell me it was
all some idiotic game she was playing, some silly, offbeat
amusement she'd read about in a magazine. She'd kiss me and we'd
both laugh again and hug and kiss and make a dozen stupid little
jokes. Maybe we'd even make love. For the first time since I
arrived home earlier that afternoon I smiled. 7:15
I pulled myself up off the bed, did my best to plant my feet
securely beneath me, then began hobbling toward the door. I
discovered that if I kept my weight unnaturally forward and took
only very small steps I could walk without turning an ankle or
falling. I headed toward the kitchen. For a moment I panicked;
I couldn't find the tonic water. At last I spied the smallish
bottle on the top shelf of the pantry. I stepped toward it and
my right ankle began to give way as the spike of its matching
shoe skidded out from under me on the slick, tile floor. I
grabbed the pantry door, cursed, and lunged forward and snatched
the bottle off the shelf.
I dropped two ice cubes into Helen's drink, slammed the
refrigerator door shut and quickly staggered toward the living
room. I glanced at the numberless clock over the entertainment
center. It looked like I had a minute or two to spare. A
coaster! Damn, I knew she'd kill me if I didn't use a coaster.
She was always nagging me about it. With her drink clutched in
my right hand, I lurched back toward the kitchen. Where were the
damn things? I began jerking drawers open at random. I got lucky
on the third try. I grabbed one of the stacked, blue, plastic
circles then spun around, praying my feet would stay under me.
I zig-zagged back to the living room as fast as I dared.
I dropped the coaster onto the coffee table, then gently
centered the glass on top of it. I knelt down, relieved to be
off my untrustworthy feet, then rested most of my weight against
the upholstered edge of the couch. I was excited. She'd be home
any second now and this lunacy would end.
I heard footsteps outside the door. Remembering her
instructions, I lowered my head. The metallic jangle of her
overstuffed key-chain, followed by the sound of a key sliding
into the lock sent my pulse racing. The whispering squeak of the
opening door stopped my breathing. I sensed more than heard or
saw her moving into the room and toward me.
She crossed the room. She dropped her pocketbook on the dining
room table. The muted sound of paper sliding against paper
suggested she was examining the day's collection of mail. After
a pause that seemed an eternity in length I heard her carpeted
steps again coming toward me.
"Very good, JoAnna," she said from somewhere above me. "I am
pleased with you." I started to raise my head, unsure of what I
wanted to say. "No." Her voice was stronger. "Do not look at me.
Do not speak!" Confused, I dropped my head until my forhead was
resting against the near edge of one of the three cushions on
the couch.
Ice clinked against glass and I guessed she had picked up the
vodka tonic I had made for her. She sat on the edge of the couch
next to me. Her nearness, and the oddly reassuring scent of her
perfume, comforted me. For a full thirty seconds of silence
neither of us moved. At last, she put a hand on the crown of my
head, then slowly caressed my hair.
"This is not a game, JoAnna; I want you to know that." There was
a huskiness in her voice I had never heard before. Her hand slid
down to my neck. "This is very real." Her fingers brushed my
cheek. "Do you understand me, do you believe me?"
I could not think. Fear and confusion mingled within me with an
altogether unexpected calmness. Her fingers gathered in a fold
of my skin, then pinched my cheek until it burned with pain.
"Answer me, darling. Do you understand?"
"Helen - ," I started to reply, lifting my head from the couch.
She pushed my head back down. "I know you are afraid. Of course
you are. It's only natural, I suppose." She began stroking my
hair again. She moved closer to me. "But do you understand what
I want from you now?"
Her touch was hypnotic. I felt myself relax. "Yes." My voice
sounded as if it were coming from someone else.
"You do have a choice, you know," she said quietly. "You can
leave. Do you want to leave, JoAnna? Do you want to be Joe
again?" Her touch was now so light I could barely feel it. "Do
you want to be that sad, pathetic little man so full of
bitterness and self-pity?"
Is that how she saw me, I wondered, is that what she thought I
had become? I shivered. "No," I said in that faraway voice. I
began to cry.
"Good," she cooed. I felt her bend down over me. Now her words
came in a purring, sensual whisper: "I don't ever want you to be
that man again. Not ever. I want you to be JoAnna. I want you in
lace and satin; I want you curled up at my feet. I want you to
please me, to do anything I ask." Her lips brushed against my
ear. "And I want you to live only to please me, for my happiness
to be your only thought." She was silent for several seconds.
"Can you do that, JoAnna? Can you live only for my happiness?"
I was warm. I felt safe with her over me, with her hand running
through my hair. Nothing but her nearness mattered. Tears rolled
down my cheeks. She loved me - after all I had done, after all
the cruel, stupid things I had done to her, she still loved me.
I began to cry harder. I wanted desperately to please her, to do
anything she asked of me. I never wanted this warm intimacy to
end.
"Yes," I sobbed. "Yes, Helen, please let me be JoAnna. Let me be
your JoAnna!"
"It will not be easy," she said. "You will need to learn, to be
trained, to please me." She kissed me again. "Are you willing to
learn?"
"Yes," I answered, my voice hoarse from crying. "I want to
learn. I want to learn so I can always please you and never
disappoint you again."
"Do you promise? You won't disobey me no matter how hard it
becomes for you to do what I command?"
I gently moved closer to her. "Yes, I promise."
"I love you more than I ever have before, darling." Her words
poured over me like warm, pure water. I felt cleansed and more
alive than I had in years. I never wanted this moment to end.
"Not a bad start, Helen." The new voice was deep, slightly
accented yet very feminine. "Get her up so I can have a proper
look at your new maid." I stiffened and tried to twist around to
see who was in the room with us.
"Calm down, JoAnna," Helen purred, "I told you I wouldn't be
alone. "This is my new friend Denise. She's going to help me
train you."
I blushed and began to tremble, suddenly aware of how foolishly
I was dressed, how I would appear to this stranger. My stomach
turned. I felt faint.
"JoAnna," Helen continued, "I want to you stand up now so Denise
can inspect you." She put a hand under my shoulder and pushed.
"Don't disappoint me so soon. Be a good girl for me. Don't you
want to show Denise how pretty you are?"
I rose awkwardly to my feet and turned to face Denise. She was
tall, powerfully built, with short, black hair. Her eyes were a
deep, cold, intelligent blue. She wore a black jacket over a
white blouse and a long, black skirt. Blushing again, I dropped
my head, utterly unable to return this provocative stranger's
frank, level stare.
"Yes, Helen, I do think you might have good material here. There
appears to be a natural submissive streak in her." Denise
stepped toward me. "JoAnna, take off your clothes. All of them.
Now, quickly." Her voice left no room for argument. Still, I was
paralyzed. I made no move to comply.
Denise strode over to me, grabbed me by my neck and pulled me
against her breast with surprising strength. Before I could
react she reached behind me and brought her open palm down hard
on my buttocks. I flinched. The unexpected blow had hurt. "Do
not disobey me!" Denise struck me a second time, then released
me. Reaching down she took hold of the bottom of my slip, then
yanked it quickly over my head. "There," she said, "that should
get you started."
I unfastened my brassiere and dropped it to the floor. "Now the
panties," Denise ordered, stepping back. I reached down and slid
the flimsy garment down my legs, then stepped out of it. I
flushed again and dropped my head, painfully aware I was now
totally exposed to both women. To my horror, I realized I was
becoming sexually aroused.
"He's not that much to look at, granted," Denise said
disapprovingly as she began circling me, "but, still, there is
potential. He'll have to be shaved, of course. Hormone
treatments might help considerably, too." From behind me, she
ran her hand roughly over my buttocks, one finger penetrating my
cheeks and touching my anus. "Firm here, that's nice. You'll
need to spank him frequently, Helen, at least at first." She was
now back in front of me, closer than she had been before. She
reached down and flicked my genitals. "Not much here, as you
said, dear." I bit my lip. "What does he look like fully erect?"
"JoAnna, play with yourself," Helen rose from the couch and
stood beside me. "Show Denise what you look like when you are as
big as you get." I wanted to run from the room. I teetered on my
heels. "JoAnna, dear, don't be shy. Stroke yourself now." I
turned toward Helen. She was smiling. "Be a good girl for me,"
she said, gently taking my hand and guiding to toward my crotch.
I began to masturbate. Both women watched without speaking.
After several minutes I felt myself finally begin to swell in my
half-closed fist. I shut my eyes. "Good girl," Helen murmured,
stroking my shoulder. "Do you want her to come?"
"Certainly not!" Denise slapped my hand away and replaced it
with one of hers. She twisted my penis painfully, then squeezed
it. "Yes, clearly a deficiency," she announced. "But, then," she
continued to Helen, "not something you'll need to concern
yourself with from now on." Denise released me then ordered me
back onto my knees. "How's her tongue?"
"Fair," Helen said, "but Joe was never very fond of oral sex.
He'd only do it to me if it was a special occasion, like my
birthday." She laughed. "And I always had to act so incredibly
grateful."
"Do you mind if I see for myself?" Helen asked.
"Oh, of course not!" Helen giggled. "I'd like to watch!"
"Just watch?" Denise smiled at my wife.
I couldn't believe the conversation the two women were having.
They were talking about me as if I were not present. I wasn't
even certain I understood what they were saying. Denise reached
behind herself and released the clasp of her skirt, then stepped
neatly out of it. She was not wearing underwear. Her pubic hair
was dark, thick and bushy. Handing her skirt to Helen, she sat
on the couch and lewdly spread her legs.
"JoAnna, show Denise how well you can lick," Helen gently pushed
me toward the space between Denise's legs. "Make me proud,
sweetie."
Numbly, I crawled toward Denise. When I was close enough she
reached out, took me by the back of the neck and roughly pulled
my face into her crotch. Her odor was strong and oily. I thought
for an instant I would gag. "Come on," Denise growled, "get that
tongue going!" I pushed my face deeper into her crotch. My
tongue found her labia beneath the forest of public hair. I
began to lick the moist crevice. "Faster, harder, deeper," she
said, now grinding my head into her with both her hands.
"Not bad," I heard Denise say to Helen, "but there is
considerably room for improvement." Her hands grasped the back
of my skull again. "Higher," she ordered, forcing my head to the
desired position. "Hmm, yes, that's better."
I sensed Helen moving toward us. The couch sagged slightly;
Helen was now sitting beside Denise. I glanced up. My wife was
stroking Denise's neck with the tip of her fingers. "Are you
going to come?" Helen asked in her husky voice. The women were
now exchanging light kisses. I saw Helen's hand slide down and
cup one of Denise's breasts.
"Do you want me to?" Helen was unbuttoning the other woman's
blouse. "Oh, yes, Helen, darling; that feels quite nice."
Denise's legs opened wider; her pelvis pushed against my lips.
"What wicked little teeth you have, darling; I adore the way you
bite my nipples."
"I want you to come, Denise; I want JoAnna and me to make you
come." Denise began softly whimpering. Helen reached down and
stroked my hair and the side of my face. I could hear her
sucking the other woman's nipple. Ignoring the growing ache in
my jaw, I pushed deeper into Denise's crotch. I wanted her to
come. I wanted to make her come because Helen desired it.
Suddenly bringing this stranger to orgasm was the only thing
that mattered to me.
Helen's hand slid down my face, then forced its way between my
lips and Denise's labia. "You're so wet," she murmured. Helen's
fingers began to dance across her lover's clitoris. "Come,
darling. Please...."
Denise shuddered. "Oh, God, yes! Damn! Yes!" She gripped my head
again and smashed my face hard against her mound over and over.
I grunted from the sudden pain. Helen laughed that marvelous,
feathery laugh I loved so much. I laughed, too, proud that,
together, we had made Denise explode.
Buttoning up her blouse, Denise scowled down at me. "You are
entirely too pleased with yourself, JoAnna." Turning to Helen,
she continued, "your maid must be properly spanked right this
minute. Do you have a paddle?" Helen said she didn't. "What can
we use?" Denise mused, looking around the room. "We need
something that will inflict enough pain to teach her a lesson."
"One of her shoes?" Helen asked.
Denise smiled. "Of course. How fitting." She ordered me to give
her one of my red high heels. My hand began to shake, but I
managed to pluck my right shoe off, then hand it to her. "Yes,"
she said, turning the high heel over in her hand. "Here, Helen,
I think you should give JoAnna her first taste of pain, don't
you?"
The women forced me over the edge of the couch. My face was
pushed down into the soft cushion. "You should be grateful to
Denise," Helen said quietly as she gently rubbed the shoe's soul
over my naked ass. "I was simply going to kick you out, divorce
you. She talked me out of it. She convinced me I should give you
a chance to become submissive, to be JoAnna." The first blow
struck without warning. The pain, while bearable, forced the air
out of my lungs. "Aren't you glad I listened to Denise?" The
second blow, considerably harder than the first, landed on my
right buttock. I tried to squirm away. Denise grabbed my leg and
held it firmly in place. "Oh, God, I love this! Look how red
she's getting!" By the fifth blow I was crying.
I felt a hand slide against my inner thigh, then snake under me
and grasp my penis. I squirmed again. Helen continued striking
me with my shoe. The hand stroked me, slipping over the tip of
my member; I could feel myself edging toward orgasm. Which
woman's hand was it, I wondered? The uncertainty made the
experience all the more arousing. The pain from Helen's blows
blended with the sexual heat surging through my groin. I could
no longer think. I could only feel. I had never been so sexually
excited in my life. Simultaneously with Helen's final assault I
exploded with a scream into the couch, then almost fainted.
"Yes," I heard Denise say softly, "definitely; she has
potential." I smiled to myself. I knew Helen was proud of me.
The thought I had pleased her made me happier than I had been in
years. "Remember, Helen," Denise continued as she rearranged her
clothing, "she'll need to be spanked every day. I'll bring you
a proper paddle Sunday." Denise put her skirt back on, the women
embraced. Denise started toward the door. "If she continues to
do well we'll introduce him to Ryan next week. I can't wait to
see her on her knees at his feet."
-------------------
As I gently placed the last of the clean, bone-white dinner
plates into its place in the cluttered cabinet to the right of
the sink I glanced at the kitchen clock. 5:30 p.m.; Mistress
would be home in less than an hour. Ignoring the itch beneath my
garter belt, I bent over and closed the dishwasher door. Despite
a week of practice I still felt unsteady on my four inch heels
and grasped the edge of the counter for support. Straightening
up, I surveyed the now spotless kitchen as I smoothed down my
short black skirt. Mistress, I hoped, would be pleased.
Everything was now done. I smiled to myself, then walked across
the now spotless kitchen floor and the freshly vacuumed dining
room carpet to the dark wood, glass topped table. With a
triumphant flourish, I used a red magic marker to cross through
the last of the fifteen instructions she'd written out for me
this morning on a sheet of blue note paper.
Snapping the red plastic cover back on the oversized pen, I
slumped down into the nearest chair. My feet were killing me. I
looked down at my legs. My slender, shaved legs were encased in
dark nylon; the red high heels dangling from my toes still
seemed impossibly small for my feet. I was thankful once
Mistress arrived I would spend most of the evening on my knees
or bound to the bed.
I glanced down at her Helen's list again, admiring her graceful,
precise handwriting. These innocuous deep blue words, orders to
clean both bathrooms, vacuum, scrub the kitchen floor, and
similar chores, reminded me of the note she had left for me
seven days earlier. Those words, also on pale blue paper, had
changed my life in the most stunning way. Her note had given me
a stark choice: submit to her, be utterly at her command, or
leave.
Half out of fear of losing her, half out of love, I had elected
to stay. She had first stripped me naked, forced me to wear
women's clothes, then taken my very identity. I was no longer
Joe, her unemployed, bitter husband who drank too much. I was no
longer the frightened man in his mid-thirties who was fast
losing his dream of a meaningful career yet bitterly resented
his wife's business success. Now, a week later, sitting here at
the immaculate dining room table in a short, black maid's dress,
in stockings, a garter belt, in pale blue panties and brassiere,
in high heels, I was simply JoAnna. Helen's JoAnna. Helen's
slave JoAnna.
The first few days had been extremely difficult. Helen had been
unyielding. The morning after my initiation I had discovered all
of my male clothing gone from the closet and dressers, replaced
by skirts and blouses, dresses and lingerie. When I had
protested, Helen had slapped my face then ordered me to leave.
I had fallen to her feet, begging forgiveness. "Will you be
JoAnna forever and always?" she had asked. Numbly I had nodded.
That evening she punished me for my rebellion. After I cleared
away the dinner plates she had ordered me to the bedroom. After
binding me securely face down on our bed with white cotton rope
she said, "you have been very bad today, JoAnna." Her voice was
light as feathers. "Very bad. I want you to lie here and think
about your naughtiness." She reached down and pulled my hair
hard enough to bring pain. She released me, then her hand slid
down my back. "When I return I will have to spank you for your
little scene this morning." She pulled my short skirt up until
it was bunched around my waist. "But first I will want you to
tell me how bad you've been. I want you to tell me how much you
deserve to be punished." She gently eased my pink panties down
my legs. Lightly caressing my bare bottom she added, "Do you
understand me, JoAnna?"
"Yes, Mistress." Her hand was now sliding slowly down between my
parted thighs. Her finger nails slid over my balls. I jerked and
tried vainly to pull my legs together. Mistress laughed, her
hand now cupping my testicles. She began to squeeze.
"Are you mine, JoAnna?"
"Yes, Mistress," I sighed, acutely aware of my vulnerability. I
was completely, utterly, at her mercy. I knew she could do
anything with me she desired.
"Absolutely mine?" Her hand increased the pressure on my
scrotum.
"Yes, Mistress," I grunted. I tensed, waiting for the increase
in pain I was sure was only an instant away.
"Raise yourself for me, JoAnna." I struggled to lift my pelvis
and stomach off the bed. Her hand moved forward, finding my
penis. She laughed. "What a little slut you are!" I buried my
reddening face in the bedspread, embarrassed by both my erection
and her discovery of it. Her fingers toyed with me for an
instant and then were gone. "If you're very good, JoAnna - if
you take your spanking like a good little girl, maybe I'll let
you come for me." Before I could respond to her she was gone.
I spent the next hour hurtling from emotion to emotion. First
came shame. What sort of perverted degenerate had I become? How
could I let this happen to me? What flaw did I have that
explained this? What forgotten, sick event in my childhood had
led to this moment? I was thirty-five years old. I had two
college degrees. Once, before the word "downsizing" had entered
my vocabulary, I had managed more than three hundred employees
for a large bank. I had played football, basketball, in high
school, even spent two years in college ROTC. Now, after all
that, I was tied to this bed, in women's clothes, in panties,
and letting my wife turn my into her slave.
I imagined my parents, my sister, my old high school friends, my
former business colleagues seeing my like this, seeing me
humiliated, dressed like a woman, groveling at my wife's feet.
I cringed at their sniggering, their snide jokes, their cruel,
dismissive laughter.
Next came fear. Perhaps Helen had gone mad. What might she do to
me? What if she came back with a knife? I shuddered at the awful
possibilities. I tested the strength of the rope holding me to
the bed frame, wondering if I was strong enough to escape. What
did she have in store for me? What might she do in the next
days, the next weeks or months?
Anger. She couldn't do this to me! How dare she! I wouldn't let
her take away my manhood. When she returned to the bedroom I'd
end this silly game. I'd find a job - a better job than hers! If
she didn't like that then, yes, I'd leave. I'd show her. I could
manage just fine without her!
Pity. But I couldn't. Without her I was nothing. Without her I
was dead. No, worse than dead. At least the dead feel no pain.
I imagined myself in a homeless shelter, hugging a too-small,
threadbare coat around my bony shoulders and coughing until I
vomited blood. I couldn't leave. I wouldn't. I was nothing
without her. Better to be her slave, to endure anything she put
me through, be anything she wanted, than that awful nothingness.
Exhausted, I closed my eyes and made an effort to clear my mind.
As the tumult of tangled emotions ebbed my breathing slowed, my
arms and legs relaxed. I began to wonder how much longer it
would be before Helen returned. I thought about the spanking she
had promised. Another emotion, one I had suppressed before,
began to fill me. I remembered how I had felt last night, with
Helen and her friend Denise. Almost against my will I recalled
the sweet peace I had felt as they had held me over the couch
and spanked me with one of my red high heels. My penis began to
stir again. I tried to summon up my anger again to use as a
shield against this growing feeling.
It hit me with overwhelming power. I wanted this. It was that
simple. I wanted it. Helen had not forced me to be her slave.
She had not compelled me to grovel at her feet, to display
myself in lingerie to a total stranger, to submit myself to pain
and humiliation at that stranger's hands. I wanted it. Once my
veneer of masculinity was stripped away along with my suit and
tie, I craved being abjectly submissive. I was JoAnna. Maybe I
had always been JoAnna. Maybe it was Joe who was the imperfect,
frightened deception.
"Have you been bad, JoAnna?" Mistress was back beside me. Her
voice was gentle, sweetly pure.
"Yes, Mistress," I answered, relieved we were about to finally
begin. "I have been very, very bad."
"Are you ready for your punishment?" Her hand touched my naked,
waiting flesh.
"Yes, Mistress." I couldn't wait for it to begin, to feel the
welcome, purifying pain. "Please spank me like I deserve,
Mistress."
She made me count the blows. Each one freed another little part
of me. Each jolt of pain snapped another of the links chaining
me to the past, to Joe. Each blow against my reddening flesh
brought me closer to Helen, and closer to JoAnna.
By the time I reached "twenty-five" in my counting I was crying.
Hot tears filled my eyes, rolled down my cheeks and sank into
the soft bedspread. Joe, what little was left of him, was now
being erased. Now I was becoming JoAnna. I began to feel
lighter, smaller. I could sense my body changing shape. At
"fifty" I was JoAnna. JoAnna, with breasts heavy against the
bed, with long, flowing hair resting on her slim, trembling
back. JoAnna, her long, slender, beautiful legs parting, her
vagina filling with wetness. At "sixty" I cried out. Joe's voice
was gone. My voice was now girlish, breathy, pure. My laughter
sounded like wonderful music.
"JoAnna, I'm so proud of you." Mistress' face was beside mine.
Her red hair covered my cheek. She kissed my ear, my chin, my
mouth. I tried to kiss her back but I was too slow; she was
gone.
She untied me, then turned me over. As I watched she stripped
off her dress and panties. She moved to the head of the bed,
then crawled onto my chest, putting her folded legs on either
side of my neck. Grasping the headboard, she pulled herself
forward until the damp warmth of her crotch covered my face. Her
smell, a heavy, earthy aroma, filled my nostrils.
"Make me come, JoAnna," she ordered. "Make me come and I'll give
you a nice surprise."
I bent my head forward, obediently probing for her vagina with
my tongue.
"Yes," she cooed when my tongue made contact with her flesh,
"that's nice! Yes!" Pleased, I pushed harder into her and
quickened my pace. She shuddered, then leaned forward and pulled
my head deeper into the warm, dark space between her thighs.
"Good, JoAnna!"
The sound of my name, my real name, sent tiny bursts of
happiness through me. My arms were imprisoned beneath her but I
was able to move them just enough to caress her smooth, bare
ankles. My jaw began to ache. I ignored it. I wanted to please
her, to make her come. That was all that mattered to me in the
world.
My lips and tongue raced across her vulva and clitoris. She
dropped a hand into my hair, her finger nails digging painfully
into my scalp. After another minute, Helen shuddered suddenly,
her knees squeezed my cheeks. "Oh, yes, JoAnna! I'm coming! I'm
coming!"
Helen's other hand released the headboard. Pulling slightly away
from my face, she arched away from me, then reached behind her.
I shivered; she was touching me, stroking me. Finger nails
grazed my flesh. I knew I was on the brink of orgasm.
"Come for me, JoAnna." Mistress smiled down at me. "Come for me
now."
I cried out. My immediate, if involuntary, obedience made Helen
laugh. "Good girl! Yes, fill my hand, JoAnna."
As my last spasm died, Mistress slid down until her pelvis was
over mine. She bent over me until our faces were only inches
apart. "Here," she whispered, presenting her hand to my lips.
"Lick my hand clean." When I hesitated for an instant she
slapped me with the other hand. "Eat this, JoAnna. Eat this
nasty, little mess you've made on my fingers."
I opened my mouth. Mistress smeared my sperm across my lips and
tongue. The taste was hot, bitter, salty.
"That's a good girl. " She held her palm flat against my lips.
"Get every last drop, darling."
When at last I was done Helen snuggled against me. She gently
stroked my sticky lips and cheeks. "Did you like tasting sperm,
JoAnna?" Her voice was light, full of feathers.
I wanted to make her happy. I realized I would do anything for
her happiness. Anything at all. "Yes," I said, then blushed.
"Good," she replied. Her hand slid down to my throat. "Will you
do it again for me, darling?"
"Yes," I smiled back at her.
"Any time I want?"
I snuggled against her, burying my head in my soft breast. "Yes,
Mistress."
"Do you promise, JoAnna?"
I nodded, my face pressed against the warmth of her body.
"Even if it isn't yours?"
II
The memory of the impact of Helen's words startled me out of my
late afternoon reverie. I glanced again at the kitchen clock; it
was now approaching six; I barely had time to honor the last of
Mistress' instructions before she was due to arrive home. After
neatly folding Helen's list in two, I placed it and the magic
marker on the kitchen counter, then headed toward the bedroom.
In what was becoming a ritual for me I stripped, dropped my
soiled clothes into the hamper filling with tomorrow's laundry,
then stepped into the shower.
The hot, drenching spray relaxed my tired muscles. After a idle
moment or two I spent fifteen minutes shaving my legs, arms and
underarms. Mistress liked my skin smooth, clean and hairless and
I did as thorough a job as possible with the twin-bladed razor.
Reluctantly abandoning the luxurious warmth of the shower, I
dried, powdered and lightly perfumed my body.
When I was finished I spent a moment pondering my pale pink
reflection in the mirror covering the wall above the counter and
sink. The image in the glass shattered my pretensions of truly
being female. However slender, hairless and smooth this creature
in the glass might be, he was still decidedly male. I turned
away, eager to put on my panties, brassiere, stockings, heels,
garter belt and pale blue slip. Once I was dressed I returned to
the bathroom and confronted my reflection again. The padded bra,
satiny slip and smooth stockings gave my body a pleasing
feminine appearance. I frowned, my short hair and naked,
masculine face completely destroyed the illusion existing below
my neck.
At precisely 6:21 I centered Helen's vodka tonic on a coaster on
the coffee table. Kneeling beside the couch, my face toward the
door, I began my wait for my Mistress. Unlike that night a week
before, tonight I was at peace. The fear, the confusion, I had
felt seven nights before were now only a fading memory. This was
where I wanted to be: waiting for Mistress, waiting for her
commands.
After the revelation which had come with that first punishment,
I had been happier than I had been in years. Cleaning,
vacuuming, washing clothes and dishes, seemed a luxury. Being
responsible only to Helen, needing only to please her, to
obediently do her bidding, was a simple and easy joy. I even
looked forward to the spankings, which came at least once each
evening. Perhaps the only stricture I had found difficult was
her command that I not touch my penis without her permission.
Even this was only truly hard when she would pull my head into
the dark intersection of her naked thighs. After that first
night, when she had forced me to eat my own sperm, she had not
touched me, not allowed me an orgasm. Though frustrated, I
struggled to accept this enforced celibacy as a part of my
training.
She was home. I could hear her closing the garage door. My body
stiffened beneath my slip in anticipation. Her key invaded the
lock. The door swung open. I dropped my head and closed my eyes,
folding my hands in my lap. As she had each evening, Mistress
ignored me. She walked into the kitchen, then the dining room.
As I waited the soft sound of her shoes on the carpet faded; she
was headed toward the bedroom. A moment or two later I heard her
return.
"JoAnna," Helen called softly.
"Yes, Mistress." I did not raise my head or open my eyes.
"You may look at me."
As always her beauty took my breath away. Her long, red hair
complimented the near navy color of her tailored business suit.
The twin, soft curves of her hips, waist and breasts tantalized
me. I had a sudden urge to crawl to her and hug and kiss her
slim ankles. She gave me the barest hint of a smile. I blushed
and dropped my head.
"JoAnna, I am very pleased with your work. The house is
spotless."
"Thank you, Mistress." My eyes moistened. It was the first time
she had given me any praise for my housework.
"You deserve a reward. I have brought you a gift." She strolled
to the couch, then sat beside where I knelt. Stroking my cheek
idly, she said, "you can have it after dinner." She picked up
her drink, my signal to leave and begin preparing her meal.
-----------------
"Come with me," Helen said after I had cleared away the soiled
dinner plates. She led me to her bedroom. A large, round white
box lay on the dark bedspread. "You may open it, JoAnna."
Inside the box I found a glorious wig of medium length
honey-colored, curly hair. I bit my lip, fighting back tears.
"Oh, Mistress! Thank you!" Taking my hand, she pulled me into
the bathroom, then pushed me down into the small chair facing
the mirror. Together, under the bright mirror lights, we fitted
the wig over my short brown hair. "What do you think, JoAnna?"
Mistress' reflection smiled down at me. "Do you like my gift?"
I stared, enchanted by my reflection. The soft curls resting on
my pale shoulders were lovely; they glowed and sparkled in the
bright light. Gently I swayed my head from side to side,
fascinated by the way my new locks flowed with the movement.
Tentatively, I touched the soft hair framing my face, then
gingerly pushed it back and away from my neck. Mistress laughed,
clearly recognizing that I was rapidly falling in love with my
altered reflection.
"Thank you, Mistress," I whispered.
"You look very pretty, JoAnna." Mistresses caressed the back of
my neck. "I want you to look pretty, darling, to please the
company we have coming tomorrow night."
I stared at her face in the glass. Company? I shivered. "Is
Denise coming back?" I asked, knowing I was being impertinent.
Helen's smile faded. "Yes, darling, Denise will be here." She
slapped me lightly on the cheek. "Now no more questions. Replace
your wig carefully in the box, then go fetch the ropes for me
and position yourself on the bed. I can't wait to feel your
tongue inside me."
That night she rode my face hard; her hands gripped the back of
my skull and pushed me so far into her crotch that I could
barely breathe. By the time she reached orgasm my tongue and
jaws were numb. Exhausted, I fell asleep even before Mistress
untied me.
The next morning the brevity of Helen's note surprised me. Other
than cleaning the master bathroom, vacuuming the living room
carpet and dusting the furniture I had no other chores. I was
instructed, however, to bathe and shave myself especially
carefully and well. In another break from what had been our
mundane routine, I was to put on my clean maid's dress after I
bathing rather than a slip. The pale blue note also informed me
Mistress would be arriving home from work much earlier than
normal, at four if all went well at the office.
I rushed through my housework and then regretted my haste. With
nothing to do I could not keep myself from anxiously wondering
what the evening might bring. Would Denise still approve of me?
Would I once again find myself between her thighs, my face
buried in her overgrown pubic hair? The thought of once again
submitting to the tall, dark haired woman excited me and, for a
moment, I thought about disobeying Mistress and masturbating to
relieve my anxiety. Ashamed by this rebellious thought, I forced
myself to lie face down on the bed and pretended I was tied
spreadeagle.
"JoAnna," Mistress said as she struggled the door with two large
grocery bags at ten minutes to five, "get up off your knees. I'm
late and we have a lot to do." Leaving her freshly poured drink
untouched, she stalked to the kitchen, beckoning me to follow.
"We'll need three of everything - glasses, coasters, salad
plates, forks, spoons, knives." I stood behind her, stunned.
Three? I wondered if I was included in the number. If I was not,
then Denise was not going to be our only guest. "Be sure they
match, darling. I'm going to shower and dress."
When Mistress returned to the kitchen half an hour late I was
stunned by her transformation. She wore a white, low cut,
swirling dress that looked both soft and sexy, a wide black
belt, pearls and white, four inch heels. She also wore more
makeup than I could remember her wearing in years.
"Do I look nice, JoAnna?" Mistress grinned at me. "Denise
insisted I buy this dress. I thought it wasn't right for me,
but," she turned in a circle, the skirt flying around her calves
and thighs, "it does make me feel wonderfully wanton."
I couldn't speak and I couldn't pull my eyes away from her half
exposed breasts. I wanted to rush to her, to hold her. I wanted
to make love to her as we had in the early days of our
courtship. I suddenly realized how ridiculous, how effeminate,
I looked. For the first time since that night of my first
punishment I felt confused about who I was, who I should be. I
lowered my head. My cheeks burned; my eyes filled with tears.
"What's the matter, JoAnna?" Mistress stood next to me. She
stroked my hair. "What has my little girl, my little sweetie, so
upset?"
"You just look so beautiful, Mistress," I mumbled, hoping she
would not guess the truth. At the same instant I wanted her to
know how I yearned for her and for her to respond to my desire.
As her JoAnna, as her slave, I was powerless to take her into my
arms.
"Silly girl," she murmured. "We can't have you all weepy now.
It's going to be an exciting and busy night." She laughed and
kissed my cheek. I fought the impulse to grab her and kiss her
on the mouth. "I know what will cheer you up; let's go do your
makeup!"
Slightly more than half an hour later I sat staring in open
mouthed amazement at my reflection in the bathroom mirror. The
image in the glass was now, to my eye, at least, entirely
female. My eyebrows were a thin dark line, my eyelids a delicate
shade of blue, my lashes long and dark, my cheeks a smooth pink.
My lips were no longer thin and pink. Now they were full and
luscious red. The face beneath my honey colored hair was the
face of a lovely young woman.
I struggled to reconcile the entirely feminine image in the
mirror with the feelings boiling inside me. I glanced at Helen's
reflection. The inward sweep of her dress to her waist tortured
me. I wanted to hold her there. I wanted her to melt in my arms.
I looked back at myself, at JoAnna. Currents of resentment began
to flow through me. The docile girl staring back at me from the
mirror seemed to mock my frustration.
"JoAnna?" Helen's voice was sharp.
I dropped my head, both ashamed and proud of my rebellious
thoughts. "Yes, Mistress."
"I want you to listen to me very carefully. You are to serve our
guests tonight in any way they desire. Do you understand?"
I didn't immediately answer her. I was confused. What did she
mean?
"You do not need my permission. You will treat any demand that
a guest makes to be my order." When I still did not reply
Mistress gripped my neck and pulled my face around to hers. "Do
you understand?" Her voice was harsh, menacing. A tiny spark of
anger flickered in my stomach. "Answer me, slut! Do you
understand?"
Her eyes bored into mine. "Or would you rather leave?" Her voice
was deadly calm. I dropped my head.
"Yes, Mistress, I understand."
"Stand up, JoAnna. Bend over the counter and lift your skirt."
Mutely, I obeyed. "Tonight is very important to me. I want you
on your best behavior. Maybe this will serve as a reminder to be
a good girl." Her blows were hard, unmercifully hard. Despite my
rebellious resolve not to, I began to cry and whimper after the
first thirty seconds. When she was finished, Helen spun me
around. "Now look what you've done, you stupid thing; you've
ruined your makeup." She pushed me back into the chair and spent
another fifteen minutes repairing the havoc my tears had
wrecked.
-------------------
At 8:10 the door bell rang.
"Open the door, JoAnna. Smile for our first guest." My hand
began to shake as I walked across the living room carpet toward
the front door. My stomach was full of briars. I swallowed, then
quickly pulled the door toward me.
It was Denise. She smiled at me then pushed past me and into the
room. "Helen, darling, you look magnificent! Stunning! Give me
a kiss!"
The women embraced. As I watched from beside the door Denise
cupped one of Helen's breasts. I dropped my head, not wanting to
see someone else touching my wife in such an intimate way.
"I'm so excited," Mistress laughed, still hugging the other
woman. "You don't know how glad I am that you'll be here." The
women kissed. "It's all I could think about for the last three
days."
"I wouldn't miss it for the world, Helen." At last releasing
Helen, Denise turned to me.
"Is that really you, JoAnna?" Her frank gaze was disconcerting.
"What a difference a week makes." She motioned for me to turn
around. Reluctantly I obeyed. "Nice! Helen, you've done superbly
with her. She looks just like a girl. You should be proud."
Turning back to me, Denise said, "get me a drink, JoAnna.
Bourbon and water."
I turned to Helen. "Yes," she said, "bring me a drink, too,
JoAnna. Make it a double."
As I scurried to the kitchen, relieved to be free from the tall
brunette's eyes, the two women continued to discuss me.
"Is she obedient?" Denise asked.
"Yes," Helen answered. "I had a bit of trouble with her the
first day, actually. I followed your advice and she's been the
perfect little lamb ever since."
"I suppose tonight will be a major test."
I couldn't hear Helen's answer because I was running water for
Denise's drink.
"Well," I heard Denise say, "you have to be firm. If she won't
accept, you have only one option. Still, if you show her she has
no choice..."
I returned to the living room, a glass in each hand. The women
were now sitting on the couch.
"Come here, pet," Denise said as I handed her the drink. "Kneel
beside me." I did as she instructed. The dark haired woman
patted me on the head. "Do you love your Mistress, JoAnna?"
I blinked, then answered yes.
"Do you remember the promises you have made to her?"
I nodded, not trusting my voice.
"What were those promises?" She cupped my chin, forcing me to
look at her.
"To be hers completely," I said weakly, glancing at Helen. My
wife was staring at me, her face an inscrutable mask.
"What does that mean, JoAnna?" Denise's voice was even and soft.
Her grip tightened. "What does it mean that you are Helen's?"
I tried to clear my throat. Why was she asking me these
questions? "That I will do anything she desires; that I belong
to her."
"Are you her slave?"
I bit my lip. "Yes," I finally said.
"Now, this minute? Are you Helen's property, her slave? Will you
obey her completely - right now?" Denise leaned toward me. Her
large, dark eyes hunted mine. My pulse quickened. My stomach
knotted. I could not escape her. "Tell me if you are."
"Yes," I said, the word escaping my lips like a fleeing thief.
"I am Helen's slave. Her property."
"This very instant, JoAnna?" She released her hold on me.
"Yes, " I whispered, dropping my head again. "This very
instant."
Denise instructed me to stand, to lift my skirt and pull my
panties down. I did so, my face burning but my rebellion spent.
She told me to touch my penis, to hold it out away from my body.
"Make yourself hard," she said. "Play with yourself but do not
come." After a slight pause, she added, "look at me while you do
it."
I obeyed. Her eyes held me as securely as Helen's ropes. I felt
myself rise and stiffen. Just as I began to feel the prickly
heat the signaled orgasm was approaching Denise ordered me to
stop. She stood and stepped toward me.
"JoAnna, your tiny little dick cannot satisfy your Mistress." My
cheeks flamed; I remembered what Helen had said seven days
earlier, during Denise's last visit, that my lovemaking had
never satisfied her. "Look at the little thing. As hard as it
can get and it's still no bigger than one of my fingers!" She
reached down and roughly gripped my penis. "You know what I'm
saying is true, don't you, JoAnna?"
"Yes," I said, feeling suddenly defeated, overwhelmed.
"That's why she made you into JoAnna, into her slave maid, isn't
it? You do know that, don't you?"
"Yes." I fought the tears invading my lower eyelids.
She twisted my cock painfully then pushed it down and back
between my thighs. "Close your legs, JoAnna." I obeyed and
Denise stepped back. "You see, Helen? See how she really looks
like a girl now?"
"She does!" Helen laughed.
Denise turned back to me. "Do you want your Mistress to be
happy, JoAnna? You wouldn't want her to be miserable, would
you?"
"Of course not," I answered, confused by this new line of
questioning.
"Good, JoAnna." Denise smiled at me, then glanced back at Helen.
"Sometimes your Mistress needs more than your tongue to make her
happy. Sometimes she will need a big, beautiful cock. A cock
that can thrust deep inside her and make her come again and
again. A cock much bigger than yours."
I couldn't breathe. I felt like I would shatter into a million
pieces if I so much as moved at all.
"Isn't that right, Helen?" Denise's eyes did not leave mine.
"Helen, tell your slave what you need, what you want."
I wanted to look at Helen, but I couldn't tear my eyes from
Denise's face. Helen stood up, then walked slowly toward me.
Denise stepped aside; now Helen stood in front of me, a sad
smile on her face.
"JoAnna, I love you. You've made me very happy this past week.
You can never know what a thrill I feel when you are on your
knees before me." She leaned forward, her lips brushed my
cheeks. "But I am going to take a lover."
The tears now overflowed. Mistress touched the tiny river
winding down my left cheek. "I am going to take a lover and you
are going to watch."
Denise was now beside me, too. "Because your Mistress loves you
so much, JoAnna, she is going to share her lover with you." The
two women were now almost hugging me, Denise on my left, Helen
on my right. "She wants you to share her joy." A hand forced its
way between my thighs. "You will see Helen take her lover's huge
cock in her mouth and in her cunt." Fingers brushed the rigid
flesh of my penis.
"I want you to be there, darling," Helen murmured in my ear, "to
see his cock stretch me open, plunge into me." One of the women
was now slowly pumping my penis. "I want you to hear me scream
his name, beg him to take me again and again." Another hand was
caressing my balls.
"Imagine it, JoAnna," Denise whispered, kissing my ear. "Imagine
your Mistress' beautiful legs on his shoulders as he drives that
huge, gorgeous cock into her. Imagine her kissing her lover a
thousand times. Can you see it?" Now I was on the brink of
coming. The hand pumping me withdrew. I moaned. "Can you see it,
JoAnna? Can you see him, all sweaty, driving into her, fucking
your wife, your Mistress? See his dark cock slip out of her cunt
and then drive back in?" The hand returned, but only for an
agonizing instant. I shivered. The women pressed in closer to
me.
"Darling, I want you to see me when I come." Two sets of nails
slid painfully up my thighs. "I want you to see my shake, see my
breasts darken, my nipples harden like tiny stones." Two hands
squeezed my balls. "I want you to hear me scream his name. See
his beautiful, wet, spent cock finally pull out of me." Fingers
gripped my penis, squeezed until I felt intoxicating pain. "I
want you to see the last pulse of his sperm strike my belly."
Denise leaned into me, biting my ear. "I want you to watch me
coat my fingers with that sperm, then watch me lick them clean."
Helen dug her nails deep into my thigh.
"Don't you want your Mistress to be happy?" Denise pulled my
head around until our faces were only inches apart. "Don't you?"
"Yes." The answer sprang from my lips before I could stop it.
"Will you watch me?" Helen's voice was light as feathers. "Will
you?"
"Yes," I whispered, turning to face her and replaying in my mind
the wanton images the women had conjured for me. "Yes." My legs
were trembling. I felt dizzy, faint. I feared I would fall.
"I love you so much, darling," Helen kissed me softly on the
lips. I clung to her with what little strength I still
possessed. "You have made me wonderfully happy."
Ten minutes later the doorbell rang again.

Helen shivered slightly, then turned and looked at me. "JoAnna,
please answer the door." I was kneeling at her feet. Paralyzed
by fear and exhaustion, I did not respond. "JoAnna!" Helen's
voice was sharper now. She reached down and slapped my left
cheek.
