"So do you actually kill zombies with that button?" I asked the cashier. "Or just wear it when you're killing them?"
I had stopped off in the local bookstore to see if anything new was out and while in the store I had seen a display of "zombie" signs and gotten a kick out of most of them.
As I neared the counter, the cashier asked if she could help me. I walked up to the counter, glanced at the nametag on the top of her apron as I did, and said, "Sure..." and called her by name. That kind of took her aback until it occurred to her she was wearing the nametag and she looked down at it, then at me and flashed a little "duh" grin.
She was around five and a half feet tall, had short reddish-brown hair framing her face like curtains. Cute and healthy in that country girl way with what looked to be a decent figure – as far as I could tell behind the counter and the apron.
As I was trying to check out her tits behind the apron I noticed the "This is my zombie killing button" on the other side of the apron and that prompted the question.
She said if she had to, she was pretty sure she COULD kill a zombie with the button.
I glanced over at the display of signs and said, "Yeah, it's good to be prepared, 'cuz ya just never know."
She had been ringing up the transaction as we spoke and she told me how much I owed. I gave her both bills and coins and she closed out the purchase.
She said, "I know. I just bought a small horse farm a ways out from town, so I should be safe out there."
She gave me my change and I realized she hadn't added the coins when she rang it up and still owed me another dollar, so I pointed it out.
She had to call the manager, so we stood for a few minutes while she apologized for the error.
The manager (a woman about my age) walked behind the counter, did her thing with the register, handed the cashier a portion of a receipt after it printed, told her to sign it when she had the chance and to go ahead and give me my additional change.
As the manager turned to leave, she paused, made eye contact with at me and asked, "Should I take her out back and have her flogged?" The cashier twitched as if she had gotten a static shock.
My first thought was
Wow! Maybe you need to spend a little less time browsing THAT particular section of books.
I smiled and said, "Nah, that's OK. Anybody can make a mistake." As I turned to leave, I saw the cashier's shoulders slump, but it occurred to me that that looked more like disappointment than relief, so I turned back.
"But then again...," I said to the manager before she could turn completely away, "While it's true that anybody can make a mistake, I think sometimes people are quick to complain about the negatives and too slow to praise the positives. I think this young lady deserves a reward for her service."
I continued, "So if I HAD agreed to have her flogged, would you have actually taken her 'out back' or just taken her to the back of the store?"
The cashier dropped her head a little and her hair swung forward to partially hide her face.
The manager looked in my eyes as if searching for something then said, "Well, I'm not really sure. No one's ever taken me up on that offer before. What do you think?"
I paused for a minute while watching the cashier, then said, "Well, she definitely deserves a reward for her 'great' service. But I don't think she gave 'outstanding' service. So I don't think she deserves the added humiliation of being flogged 'out back', where anyone could just happen by and see her bare ass being flogged right out there in public in broad daylight."
The girl dropped her head a little lower and I caught a glimpse of a flush coming over her neck and cheeks.
"And, while she deserves a reward, it occurs to me that you shouldn't have to pull another employee off the sales floor or abandon your job yourself. Want me to take her in back and take care of that for you?" Aha! Even though her head was down, I was able to catch just the barest glimpse of a smile from the girl.
The manager smiled at me, then looked at the girl and said, "Well, she IS one of my better employees, and I've gotten some good feedback from other customers, too. So, yeah, if you're willing to, go ahead."
I looked across at the girl and asked, "Have you been a good girl?"
She nodded slightly.
"Well then, since you've been a good girl and deserve a reward, why don't you take your name tag and that 'zombie killing' button off and leave them out here. Since I believe you ARE capable of killing a zombie with the one, I'm pretty sure you'd be able to do the same or worse with the other. I'd rather not find out if I'm right if you change your mind."
I turned back to the manager as the girl removed both buttons and set them on the counter with trembling hands.
"Would you happen to have a flogger in the back?" I asked.
She shook her head with a rueful smile. "Like I said," she said, "No one's ever taken me up on that offer before, so, sadly, no."
"No problem, I'm sure we'll make do," I said, then turned back to the girl and said, "Step to the end of the counter, stop, then turn around and put your hands behind your back." I watched as she did and got confirmation of what I had suspected. When she had put her hands behind her back she had crossed her arms at the wrists with her hands slightly open. I let my voice drop in pitch and volume as I stepped quietly up behind her, "Oooh, you ARE a good girl."
I leaned even closer in and rumbled, "You'll have to lead the way since I don't know where we're going. But take your time. I want you to think about what's going to happen when we get there."
As she walked away, I noticed her hair was actually brown with red streaks in it and, while she had the shorter part framing her face, she had the rest pulled back in a pony-tail that fell about half-way down her back. I watched the sway of her knee-length denim skirt and considered what might be going on under there. I also noticed the cowboy boots she was wearing.
Only somebody really into horses would wear cowboy boots at a job in a bookstore that had her on her feet all shift,
I thought.
She led me to a door marked "Employees Only", opened it and stepped inside. I stepped in myself and took a quick look around. There wasn't much back there, just a table and a few chairs. When I saw the table and where it was located, it gave me a really interesting idea.
"Step around behind the table and face me."
Once she was there I said, "Center yourself on the table but stay a few inches away from it."
"Take your apron off, fold it up and place on the edge of the table." She did as she was told.
"Place your hands on the table, palms down."
"Slide your hands forward until your forearms are flat on the table."
I stepped to the end of the table, leaned down so my own forearms were on it and got close up to her ear. I let my voice rumble a little as I asked, "Are you sure you want to do this?"
She nodded.
"You realize if that door opens, there's a very good chance that someone might see you like this?"
She shivered and nodded.
"And you're sure you still want to continue?"
She nodded.
"Do you know what a 'safe word' is?"
She nodded.
"Do you have one?"
She shook her head slowly.
"No matter. You won't be needing one anyway."
She stayed there, perfectly still. Well, still, except for the way she was breathing - that strange combination of long, slow, deep breaths that still made it seem like she was panting with excitement. I could see her whole body trembling now. Excitement? Anxiety? Desire? Fear?
"Would it be easier if you close your eyes?" I asked.
She nodded.
"Tough," I said. "You need to keep your eyes open and on that door, thinking about who might be there if it opens and what they might see."
I stepped around behind her, reached out and slowly placed my hand on the small of her back. She twitched a little then arched her back up against my hand.
I eased to her left side facing away from the door, barely made contact between my left hip and her left butt cheek and she pushed back to rub against me. "Whoa. Easy there, girl." I said.
I put my left hand on her butt cheek and she twitched again. I slowly slid my hand down her butt cheek, then down her thigh, across the sensitive skin on the back of her knee and to the inside of her calf. "Lift." I said as I pulled a little. She bent her leg at the knee and I slipped the boot off her foot.
I moved to the other side and slowly repeated the actions. The little minx tried to rub up against me again. That got her a "No!" and a small swat on the ass.
"Let's see what we have here," I said as I grabbed a chair by the back and placed it behind her. I sat down behind her and leaned forward a little.
