Completing the Theft
Helen never thought to ask where they were going, but she knew that they weren't headed back to her apartment. A high fence and equally high shrubbery protected the grounds surrounding the house. She sat mouth agape at the size of the house as they parked in front.
Ryan pulled her out of the car and hurried her into the foyer. "Take off your dress and leave it on the stairs, they're waiting for us and I want to show you off." She obeyed him, pulling her dress off over her head and tossing it onto the stairs.
"Ryan, what is going on?" Helen barely managed to utter her question when she found herself standing in a room full of people. She blushed at the suddenness of her entrance. Ryan was pleased by her reaction, and looked forward to embarrassing her in public to see it again.
Helen looked around the room and saw many familiar faces. She was most surprised to see Joshua there, smiling from ear to ear. "You look much better led into a room attached to someone's arm, than being led in on a leash. And such a beautiful blush, it pales in comparison to some of the spankings that I used to give you." He touched her cheek gently this time and turned to Ryan. "You were a worthy adversary in the toy business, but you have bested me in Helen's heart. I had never sought to win it, and that was my mistake, for I have truly lost the gem in my collection."
Ryan smiled and shook Joshua's hand. "You are right, old man, that was your mistake. Mine was underestimating just how much she meant to you."
Helen blushed even more to hear Ryan speak about her this way. She had never been the topic of a conversation before, at least not one held in her presence.
"Now I have her and your company!" Ryan winked at Joshua as he spoke those words.
"Better you than Joy Box! At least you won't ruin Holiday's reputation by marketing junk. And Jason won't be able to get past Helen or me to steal your designs." Helen smiled at Joshua's brag. She knew that what he said was the truth; even though she had no future plans to work for Ryan or Joshua.
Ryan handed Helen a glass of white wine from a passing tray and lifted his own glass into the air. "I would like to propose a toast," he said loudly gathering the attention of the room. "To the future of Holiday Toys and Dalton Images, may it be a long and profitable partnership."
Murmurs of "here, here" swept through the room as everyone sipped to the toast. Helen continued to sip her wine while Joshua and Ryan went on about the fun that they had with Helen. She was surprised that Ryan went to such lengths to draw her into his world. He had wanted her to choose him over Joshua and Jason, to abandon them completely.
She stood quietly by Ryan throughout the evening and gracefully acknowledged each guest as they departed. She had forgotten that she wore only garter belt stockings and heels as she warmly embraced his friends before they left. It wasn't until Joshua grabbed her breasts and pulling them upward and together said, "YOU really should get these nipples pierced!" that she became painfully aware of her nudity and blushed a deep shade of pink.
Ryan took her breasts in his hand from behind her and responded, "She has to marry me first. I want to do them for her on our wedding night." Helen's blush deepened and spread all over her body. Joshua grinned at her and kissed her smartly on the lips. "I really am going to miss whipping you, but I will survive..." He laughed and then taking his coat, he departed.
Ryan spun Helen around and asked, "What do you think of our new house?"
Helen's eyes widened as she looked around at the large foyer and the wide carpeted staircase. "This is ours?" she asked incredulously.
Ryan drew her close and danced her around the foyer. "Every square inch, my lovely, all ours to explore and make love in."
