Shannon Éclair stepped out onto Garfield Blvd grateful that her work day was finally over. She had been working for Michael's Advertising for almost 3 years now and her supervisor had recommended her for a budget managing position because not only was she good with numbers but she had a knack for keeping things in budget. She had been excited to prove just what she could do, and she enjoyed the challenge of coming up with an advertising campaign all on her own.
Now however she was leaving that meeting/interview with a sour taste in her mouth, she had worked her ass off on that presentation and was able to get everything they wanted and even stayed under budget by $500. But did the board care? NO they were more concerned that she was just 26 years old. One of the old farts even mentioned that she looked like she should still be in high school. She was even more irate that the Executive Director Xavier Depointe had the nerve to look down on her when he himself was only 34.
He had said nothing during her time on the conference room, and she had noticed the way he looked at her, with detestation, what had she ever done to him? Oh well, at least he didn't actually verbalize his dislike of her in front of the others. She had to work tonight at
Le Donjon
so she take her frustration out on some men later, and that thought made her smile.
7pm Shannon walked into
Le Donjon
; clocking in at the front desk, Holly the receptionist informed her that she had 2 half hour appointments and 2 hour appointments, and the first was in the process of checking in. She thanked Holly and told her to escort him back to her lair when he was ready.
She had an easy night, her clients were mostly lightweights, especially her last appointment. He came in 15 minutes, he couldn't even last the whole hour. "What is wrong with the men now days?" she asked in dismay. She was fixing to wrap up and leave when someone knocked on her door.
"Come in," Shannon called.
"Hey Fox, I need a huge favor, please tell me you are free and don't mind another client." Holly begged as she walked through the door.
"I'm free, my last client jizzed 15 minutes into his one hour session." Shannon informed her.
With an amused look Holly asked, "Wow they don't make men like they use to do they?" They both laughed. "Well I have a problem I hope you can help me with, We over booked Ginger, not sure how, but she is already an hour behind and we have a yummy looking gentleman who is demanding to get in now, or he will pull his platinum membership. Look I know you are tired, but I want you to consider this, with what he is paying you will get a good commotion check, this man is gorgeous, and kind of being an asshole so I would love for you to teach him a lesson. "
"Okay, give me 5 minutes, and bring him back. I need to put my outfit back on" Shannon said. Holly knew Shannon couldn't turn down extra money.
"Awesome! I knew I could depend on the fox." Holly squealed and rushed from the room. With an eye roll Shannon walked over to her closet to put on her blue corset bodysuit, glued her mask back in place, and headed to sit on her throne to greet her next guest.
She had just gotten comfortable when there was a knock on the door and Holly entered with her next client. Shannon's breath caught in her throat and her body momentarily tensed up when she saw his face. His tall 6'3 frame filled the door way as he stepped into her lair. She looked him over slowly, his sandy brown hair had a modern yet sexy spike to it, and his body was tan and very well toned. His arms looked like they could either hurt someone or make a girl feel very safe and secure. She pulled her gaze back up to his face and noticed that his soft brown eyes had locked on to her in a cold stare, and for a moment she was afraid he might recognize her.
"Mr. Depointe, this is Countess Vanessa Fox, she will be your dominatrix tonight. Countess this is Xavier Depointe and his safe word is apple." Holly announced before exiting.
Xavier studied his new mistress up and down for a moment then started, "You're not Ginger," with some what of a snarl.
"How very astute of you slave, now strip for me." Shannon had dropped her good girl persona and stepped right into the roll of The Fox,
Le Donjon's
most fierce Madame.
Xavier didn't move, he just stared at her and crossed his arms in defiance. Shannon cocked an eyebrow, smiled, and thought, I'm going to enjoy this so much that I need to send Holly a Thank you gift.
Without warning Shannon flicked her whip and it slashed into Xavier's arm leaving a very red and angry whelp. "Don't you dare come into my kingdom and deify me. The next time I tell you to do something, you will fucking do it, or the next spot my whip will kiss, will be on that pretty face of yours, NOW STRIP." Shannon yelled out her demand with such authority he flinched.
Xavier started removing all his clothes and discarded them in a pile off to the side, he still had a look of defiance in his eyes, but he obeyed. "That is a good little puppy. Now come and kneel at the foot of my throne, I would like to have a foot stool." Shannon said mockingly.
She smiled as she watched him crawl up the steps and kneel in front of her, every muscle in his shoulders and back flexed with each movement and a little flurry of excitement rushed through her. "Oh such a good boy," She purred at him as she placed her stilettos over his back and stretched her body out. "My, my you are a pretty thing aren't you? Now tell your Countess why you have come to me for punishment today?"
Xavier remained quite and stared straight ahead, when Shannon got impatient she dug the 6in heel of her shoe in between two of his ribs, "Answer me when I talk to you boy." Shannon demanded raising her voice.
Xavier sucked in a shallow breath no doubt due to the sharp pain his side was experiencing and replied, "I had impure thoughts about one of my employees today."
