"Honey, I'm home."
My heart stopped. I had not expected Gina for another hour, and I hadn't finished my list of chores. The biting sarcasm of Gina's cheery sitcom greeting sunk in and my heart jump-started with an explosion of shame. I looked up from the kitchen sink. Gina stood motionless at the entry door in her ankle length fur, hand on hip, glaring, askance. Her beauty struck me to stone. Inexplicable guilt seared my heart, fear froze my will, and lust clotted my throat.
"Well?" She raised a hand as if to accept something from me. What did she want? What did my beautiful tyrant want? With a nasty laugh, she grudgingly conceded to my stupidity, "Look you lazy, uncouth, bumpkin, don't you know enough to help a lady with her coat?"
I managed an arid mumble, "Yes mam. I'm sorry." I grabbed a towel to dry my hands and turned to go to her. In my rush to wait on Gina, my hip struck the corner of the kitchen counter. Pain flashed, balance faltered, and I crashed to the floor into a heap of fresh hurts. A wave of worry washed over the pile of aches. I had again failed my Gina; I was ridiculous, incompetent. How would she punish her stumbling, bungling slave? Would she detest me yet more, or would this ludicrous new humiliation simply amuse her?
I had been tripping and slipping all day from a chain Gina had attached between my ankles before she left in the morning, but this was the first time I had actually fallen. Gina had been all smiles and cheer as she locked the chain in place, "Oh don't be such a baby. This is just for fun; it's just a little game. You like playing games with me, right honey? I want to think of my sweet, loving honeybunch chained up at home right where I want him. Chains are just the perfect symbol of security, restraint, and obedient love. You will play my game; you will wear my chain, won't you? Please, sweetie pie, honey face, sugar tongue?" Her jeering grin transformed into an exultant, arrogant sneer. "Knell."
Games, Gina's games...fear and desire had tumbled my mind, and I silently begged, "Yes dear, I will play your games, I love your games, and I'll take any chance for you. Toss the die; toss me. Or is this chess? I'll be your pawn my Queen. Take me; sacrifice me. Your games are such delicious pain. Make me ache for you; use me. Let me be your toy, your game piece, your fool. Play with me. Spoil me. Please dear, instruct me on the rules of your new game." My eyes had brimmed with tears as I looked up into the cruel beauty of Gina's mocking face. I pleaded in a shattered whisper, "Yes dear. Anything."
Still earlier as I had handed Gina her morning coffee, she curtly ordered me to get dressed. "Put on a dark suit and a blue tie." I had thought she was taking me out. I scurried off to fit myself to meet the world. My spirit shed the humiliating grunge of weeks of house imprisonment crawling at Gina's feet. The suit and tie were clean and crisp; confidence righted itself. Gina approved, "You look good all polished up." However, when I walked Gina to the door, I was once again disappointed, again played for a fool. "Oh sweetie I sorry but you can't come with me."
"No. Today you will be doing more housework for me." Gina laid down the rules of her new game as she locked a short chain my between ankles. "I want you to wear your business suit and a tie just like when you had a real job. Its today's work uniform, with your chain and this nice, pink, frilly apron. Isn't it pretty? Do you like the little red hearts? See honey, aren't I thoughtful? I got these presents just for you, a chain to remind you of my love and an apron so you don't mess up that nice suit of yours.
"When I'm out today I will be thinking of you, my boy hobbling around cleaning the house all dressed up like he still was a hot shot business man—my big, powerful man in his suit and tie—and a pink apron. And so what if you have a chain locked to your ankles? You're not going anywhere, right? Wear the chain for me today. It will remind you of me all day, it will remind you to show restraint and to stay on task. It will remind you to love me.
"There, your chain is nice and tight with just enough play so that you can get about to do all the chores on your list. I will keep your key on a chain around my neck, just like a schoolgirl going steady. It will remind me of you all day. Good boy. Now stand up and walk about. Oh, it is so sweet the way you stumble about with your feet hobbled together like that. You're such a sight. I wish I could show you and your frilly apron to all the guys at your office. But you were fired, so I guess you can't go back."
Gina grabbed my crotch gripping the traitorous erection swelling in my suit pants and jutting against the pink apron. "Such a big hard cock. You love being pushed around; don't you slut? Don't you dare touch this nasty thing until I say so. You must finish your chores to my satisfaction first. Start with the bathroom. Your list."
Gina stuck a scrap of paper listing my chores into my mouth, gave me a vicious little smile, and left for the day. Oh my kinky, freaky little girl, what would she think of next?
The chain did remind me of Gina all day—each time I stumbled and each time it rattled as I crawled about on my knees scrubbing the floor. The apron did nothing more than humiliate me. My suit was ruined. But so what? I didn't have a job any longer—at least no job other than trying to keep Gina happy.
Now my Gina was back, and I had fallen to the floor. From my knees, I looked up to adore her. She stood in the doorway looking down on me with amused contempt. Gina radiated a dark elegance illuminating the profound gloom of her presence, highlighting her detached, superior distain for me, and, it seemed, just about everything. I was enthralled.
What I felt for Gina might have been mistaken for love; her control over me mistook for a magic spell. But what I felt had nothing to do with the repetitious topic of phony love songs, and Gina's control was too real to be hocus-pocus. My passion was a mystery, and Gina's power was a black flame illuminating a blacker night.
Gina was slim, petite, an enchanting wisp of loveliness. However, her frail seeming feline grace was but an ornamental sheath. Within lay steely strength, a sword forged in the fires of desire burning in hearts of the countless men enflamed by her beauty. Gina repeatedly quenched the scorching, scarlet steel in icy rejection, tempering the blade. The hammering of the lust incessantly called to her beauty wrought the blade, and heartbreak honed the cutting edge. Gina's beauty was almost too true to be real.
