The Voice would call on an irregular basis, just out of the blue. She would know his voice after the first word, which was usually, "Darling", in his loveable British accent. They would talk as time allowed and slowly learned a bit more about each other with each conversation.
One day, out of curiosity, she asked him what was sold at The Manacle Store- the odd name had stuck with her. When he told her what was sold at The Manacle Store, at first she was taken aback. In later conversation she began to express curiosity about why he patronized the store, what he bought and what he did with the items and with who he did "those" things.
Over time, their conversations would eventually turn to the topic of sex. For Jackie, before her husband passed, sex was a rarely discussed topic, especially with a total stranger. Now she was free to explore. She chose to discuss it with The Voice. It was safer with him because of their completely anonymous relationship.
When they discussed the issue, she would quietly sit at her desk, her high back chair turned away from clients in the reception area, attentively listening to him tell tales of his sexual adventures. She in turn would whisper into the mouth piece of her head set, so the clients could not hear her, and imagine her words winding into his ear as she told him her deepest darkest sexual curiosities, fantasies and secrets, things which nobody else in the world knew. Jackie enjoyed how her sexual tension was built out of anonymous and free unfettered discussion of a taboo subject. She did not physically want him, she only wanted to fantasize with him. He never discouraged the discussion and even seemed to egg her on when she turned the conversation to the topic.
The more they talked, the greater her sexual curiosity grew. She was being seduced by his sordid tales and infected with the notion of personally experiencing similar behavior. More and more she found she could resist less and less. It was around that time that she and Amanda started their relationship. She had opened up enough to The Voice to express her desire to explore her sexuality and who she really was. She had told him about Amanda, about Amanda's games and wicked little habits. He told her he could help. She was a bit concerned by his offer. She did not want him to intrude and interfere with her relationship with Amanda. For now it was 'hers'. With his encouragement she pursued her affair with Amanda. He told her how to tease and seduce Amanda. When to deny her and when to provide to her. When Amanda wanted discipline, he taught her how to administer it. When Jackie decided to deny Amanda's request for physical punishment, The Voice assured Jackie that she could withhold it and not loose Amanda. He assured Jackie that she could dictate the terms and methods of punishment, and that they need not be physical- he had his methods too, and he though they would be just as or even more effective, and, to Jackie's liking.
He began to realize, based on her growing curiosity, that he could enlist her to assist him in his causes. She reluctantly agreed to participate. He vowed her to secrecy in his endeavors and pledged his expertise in helping her with hers. He made it very clear that her participation would be risquΓ© and promised her it would be entertaining and intriguing. He told her she could opt out if and whenever she wished. She would be an ancillary participant in his quests and would be permitted to voyage into his world, to explore her desires, collaterally learn his techniques and use them to her benefit in her own dealings with Amanda.
At first it started with the packages. He would send a package- the courier would tell her it was from "Alec". The day after, he would send someone to pick it up. They- either a man, a woman or a combination of some sort- would come to Jackie's office during the day at an unscheduled time, enter the office, approach her reception desk and declare they had come to retrieve a package for Alec. For Jackie, her fears and risk were in the time of the pickup and whether Amanda or a waiting client would stumble on her illicit activity.
Before she could release the package, the recipient would need to expose themselves to Jackie in the reception area. To Jackie's right was a door to Amanda's office. The Voice told Jackie the exposure could not be quick- it had to last at least ten seconds, an otherwise long silent tension. The people never knew how long Jackie would make them stand before her. It was always long enough for Jackie to peruse their bodies and they to risk being seen by others. Nobody knew if anyone was going to walk out of Amanda's office into the view of full frontal nudity. If caught, Jackie could feign innocence and victimization. The flasher could not.
Jackie was to determine if they had satisfied all conditions. She was The Voice's guardian in that respect. If Jackie was not satisfied, she would make them expose themselves again. Sometimes she would tell them to leave the office and come back in ten minutes knowing the reception area would be fuller with waiting patients and the flasher's risk of getting caught greater. She might have them flash her and then tell them to take a seat in the reception area amongst the others. Make them wait ten, twenty, maybe thirty minutes and then beckon them to her again, all the while watching them squirm under the pressure of sitting next to the others in the reception area, wondering if the others knew what they had just done and if they were going to scrutinize them if they were required to do again for Jackie. Sometimes she made them come back just to have them do it again, solely for her pleasure even though they had satisfied her the first time. They all knew she would be reporting back to The Voice. They also knew they had to return to him package in hand. They knew they were at her mercy.
They usually came completely naked under a trench coat. It was easier for the women- a pair of shoes and it looked like they were wearing a short dress beneath the coat. The more reluctant ones wore some article of clothing beneath the coat. For them she would have them leave and only return if naked per The Voice's instructions. Sometimes the women came in lingerie- stocking and garters- perhaps thinking they were to flash a man. She would overlook the transgression. A well hung man once came with a bow tie on his sex. She though it crafty and let it slide. A very brazen one once came with small bells tied to his sex. He got noticed by the people in the reception area as he marched in jingling. He was so 'cocky' he apparently did not care about the quizzical attention.
She enjoyed perusing their bodies, observing their curves and shapes- the size of a man's sex, whether it was erect or limp, or, the women and their nipples- small, large or erect, or, how they manicured their pubic hair- short cropped, completely shaven, bushy, etc. Her view was a cornucopia of diversity. What most tempted her was how close she was and the fact that she could reach out and lightly touch them with her long red finger nail, run it through their pubic hair, maybe along the under side of a cock tip and gently bob it up and down in a teasing fashion, maybe graze a woman's shaven and exposed lips or have her lean forward and flick or twist her nipple. Maybe whisper some salacious teasing words....
Once Jackie was satisfied, she gave them the box. All were required to open it in her presence. Always, the box contained a pair of silver handcuffs. None knew in advance what the box held. They would usually held it close to their chest, shielding it from the view of the others, their eyes shifting while their hands fumbled to opened the plain small brown cardboard box. A nervously shake of the cuffs before Jackie, and for all other to see, usually got them permission to leave. Occasionally, the randy ones would give Jackie an extra little flash and a sly smile as they turned to leave.
