A quick author's note for anyone that liked the first part of this story: Sorry the next instalment took so long. It ended up being harder to write than anticipated. But the ball is rolling again and by the time this finds its way onto the site I should be nearly finished the third chapter. There might be later follow ups but I want to draw a line for now and write something else.
Enjoy!

When Callum got back into the bedroom, pizzas in hand, Fatima was on her laptop. She put it to one side and regarded him with some small surprise. She was still dressed in her bra and knickers, and he was pleasantly surprised to realise that despite having finished, the sight of her still had the power to excite him.
"You were gone a while," she said. She tried to sound impassive, but there was an eager little tone in her voice that indicated she was happy he'd opted to stay.
"There was a bit of a queue," he lied, handing her the larger pizza. She took it off him without a flicker of gratitude and opened it, the hunger evident in her eyes.
"Don't tell me that," she said, focusing her gaze on him once it drifted away from her food. "I'd much rather hear about the massive dilemma you went through in making the choice. Maybe that you even got on a bus before having a last-second change of heart and pulling the emergency door brackets."
"Well, I didn't get on a bus," he said, "but you're right. I stood outside, torn, and trying to work it all out."
"Good," she said, her eyes having a slightly sinister twinkle to then. "I'd hate for you to enter into this lightly. You realise what you signed up to right?" The ominous twinkly eyes now burned into his. "From now on, you belong to me. I don't know if you were picturing us as one of those couples that occasionally practices BDSM in the bedroom but that's not on the plate."
"I know," he said. He found himself clouded by the same doubts that had plagued him outside. In less than an hour he'd made a decision that would change everything about his life. Or at least his student life. But he realised he couldn't back out now, not really: if he did, he would spend the next morning racked with a fierce regret, the type only felt by men who have thrown away fortunes in stupid investments. Then he would be right round to Fatima's place, grovelling pathetically for a second chance, only to have the door slammed in his face.
"Free will is a fucking distant memory to you from now" she said. "You'll live here with me. You can keep going to uni and have some semblance of a social life but you're at my beck and call. I text you, you come running. I don't care if you're in a lecture or what. Never refuse, never disagree, never question. Get on board with all that, and I'll take you places you never dreamed of." She grabbed the pizza. "Okay, I can't wait anymore. I'm starving."
Callum nodded, at once realising the extent of his own hunger. He opened his pizza box and felt the heat escaping the cardboard. He was about to reach for a slice when Fatima spoke again, holding her pizza just below her lips.
"What are you doing?" she demanded sharply.
"I was just about to eat," he said, slightly startled.
"Firstly, you don't eat without my okaying it," she said. "Secondly, we don't eat at the same time. Equals eat together. Are you my equal, Callum?"
"No," he said. "But I'm really hungry, and..."
"I don't care," she said firmly. You can eat once I'm done. In the meantime, I want to be comfortable as I eat." She swung her feet over to him. "Rub my feet."
Casting a small, despairing look at his pizza, he set it to one side and dropped to a kneeling position. She thrust her left foot at him and he took it in hand, suppressing the rumbling of his stomach. Her foot was still divine. His saliva had barely taken any of the sweatiness away, and he felt perspiration, as well as the subtle hint of some moisturiser, rub off onto his hand.
Fatima ate her pizza contentedly, looking down at him. His eyes met hers and she broke into a sneer. He could tell why: with one look, the exchange of power was complete. She held every card and his willpower had been reduced to nothingness. After regarding him for a moment, she spoke.
"Did I give you permission to look up?" she asked, firmly but playfully. "Look down. In fact, look at my body. You like my body, don't you?"
"I love it," he said, diverting his gaze. Her body was intoxicating. He admired her large, shapely breasts beneath the bra, her luscious hips and her curves.
"Happy to hear, because you're going to be using your tongue on all of it," she said. After this, she lapsed into silence, devouring the pizza. He dutifully massaged and kneaded her toes, soles and ankles. Fatima treated him to an occasional murmur of pleasure but otherwise ate in silence. When she was done, she lay back, content. Callum kept massaging her feet.
"No, stop," she said. "You can eat." He put her foot down gently and reached for the pizza. She studied him with curiosity as he ate, not saying a word. After swallowing a slice he opened his mouth to make some form of conversation but she warned him off with a single glare. The two sat in silence while he finished his meal.
"There we go," she said. "Lucky boy. Now...we've got some business to attend to." She handed him the laptop she'd just discarded. It was open on a Word document. Callum began to read - then drew back, slightly horrified.
"Jesus," he said, staring at a page full of pure, vitriolic hate. The author was truly warped, their hatred of Muslims having rendered them a monstrous human being. "Is this shit you get sent? Cause this is right fucking out of order."
