Chapter 7 Female Led Destiny
The next day was Monday. I couldn't wait to see Bodhi at work. I took one of his chastity keys out of the safe in my bedroom closet. I put it on the same silver necklace I was wearing in his domination session.
As I was eating breakfast at my kitchen table I was thinking about Bodhi's key hanging between my breasts. It would be Bodhi's and my secret. The silver necklace was visible but it disappeared into my shirt. I was sure Bodhi would notice it and know what was just out of sight.
When it came time to clean up my dishes I thought of Benjamin. He was the one who kept my house clean. To me he was a horny male maid who did whatever I told him. Mainly because he was infatuated with me but in no small part because there was a lock in his pants. Now I technically had three locked males.
Benjamin really was a great guy with a good heart. He had done a lot of work around my house, both menial housekeeping and helping me create my personal dungeon. I had the newly locked Jared. I decided I could begin to transfer Benjamin's maid work over to him. Even better, I could have Benjamin train him. Benjamin would enjoy that.
Finally there was my Bodhi. Handsome, healthy body, excellent career, but with a bit too much of a mind of his own. He definitely had some alpha male tendencies. That's not all bad. I mean what girl wants to be with a man who's a pushover. Controlling passive beta men was easy, even mundane. Having control of a man like Bodhi seemed very exciting.
I just had to make sure he deferred to my judgment and behaved like a gentleman. The fact that I was now his key holder should make all the difference. He obviously knew I was a dominant woman. I needed to show him I could lead him.
Then I thought about Grace. She had been lonely for a long time. She was lacking in intimacy. To her, Benjamin was something special.
I decided to invite Benjamin and Grace over together. Technically Grace was my pet as well, not a slave like Benjamin. I wanted to see Grace and Benjamin together to evaluate their relationship. Of course we had all been together at my house before but I didn't notice any chemistry between them. Maybe I simply hadn't been looking. Sunday afternoon would be perfect.
A short time later as I pulled into my parking spot at the hospital Bodhi texted me, "May I buy you a coffee in the cafeteria?"
I replied, "Sure. See you in a few."
Bodhi arrived at the cafeteria the same time I did. There were quite a few people around. He smiled and said, "Good morning Miss..." He saw the necklace around my neck and then looked back at my eyes. "Stanton."
I smiled sweetly and said, "Good morning Dr. Bradford."
He walked with me to the barista. She said, "What can I get for you?"
He glanced my way and said, "Small hazelnut black in a to-go cup?"
I said, "Let's go large."
He turned to the barista and said, "I'll take two large hazelnuts to-go, black."
As we waited he turned to me and said, "I like your necklace."
I smiled and said, "Thank you. I don't usually wear jewelry but I have a new pendant that's very important." I reached up and touched Bodhi's key through my shirt.
The barista said, "Here you go. That'll be $4.50."
Bodhi gave her a five and said, "Keep the change."
He turned to me and said, "Can we sit for a minute?"
I said, "Sure."
I followed him out of the cafeteria to the atrium and he motioned to a bench. He said, "How's this?"
I sat down and said, "It's great."
He sat as well, turned toward me and smiled. I looked at him and said, "What?"
He said, "Sorry Laura I just. I mean last weekend was phenomenal. Oh and I hope I'm not out of line asking Alexis to give you..." Bodhi glanced around.
I put my hand on my chest and said, "Your key?"
He nodded and said, "Right. I mean now that I think about it I feel that I should have asked if you would accept it."
I smiled and said, "Don't worry about that. I'm happy to have it. I'll take good care of it."
Bodhi said, "Good... great. So next question. This Saturday evening I'm attending a dinner party and I would be honored if you would join me. Doctor Lancaster is having a get together to celebrate his wife's fiftieth birthday."
I nodded and said, "Yes Bodhi, I would love to. So uh, what would I wear to a doctor's wife's fiftieth birthday party?"
Bodhi said, "Well it's going to be on the fancy side. He has hired a chef who will be serving fillet mignon and lobster."
I said, "Ooh yum."
He smiled and continued, "I'll be in a suit and tie."
I thought for a moment and said, "I'll have to go get a new little black dress."
His face lit up with an idea, "Hey, I'll take you shopping one night this week. We can get you a new dress, shoes, purse, whatever you need."
I smiled at him and said, "Bodhi you don't have to do that."
He moved closer and looked into my eyes and said, "No, I know. I want to. How about Wednesday night? We can go shopping and then grab a bite to eat."
I said, "Okay you talked me into it."
Bodhi had become the consummate gentleman. He was giving me more attention at work but not in an obvious or inappropriate way. His personality changes did not only apply to me. His bedside manner had improved and his relationship with the entire staff was better than ever.
On Wednesday morning I happened to be working alongside Linda. She nudged me and said, "So... you're going to Dr. Lancaster's party with Dr. Bradford."
I gave her a surprised look and said, "Well yes... how did you know."
Linda smiled and said, "Dr. Bradford has mentioned it. He's obviously smitten with you."
I was speechless and I felt my face flush. Her eyes opened wide as she said, "You're smitten too aren't you?"
I stammered, "Uh well... I uh... We've only been out twice. I mean it's going well but... so you heard him mention the dinner party?"
Linda said, "Yep. Dr. Lancaster's wife Elise is turning fifty."
I said, "Have you met her?"
Linda said, "Years ago. It was at the hospital Christmas party. She was a model when she and Dave met. She gave it up to be a wife and stay at home mother."
I said, "Good for her."
Linda said, "I have to go but you and I are having lunch Monday. I want to hear all about the party."
I smiled and said, "If we have time..."
As she walked away she said, "We'll make time."
That evening I hurried home after work. Bodhi was picking me up at 5:30. I had my clothes laid out. I wore a medium length black skirt and pullover top with some simple pumps. I skipped the bra for two reasons. First, because I was looking for a backless dress and wouldn't need one. Second, because I wanted to tease Bodhi.
He was right on time. I greeted him at my front door. He said, "Are you ready?"
I said, "Let's go."
As we pulled out of the driveway Bodhi said, "Okay so... question."
I said, "Yes?"
He said, "Where do we get a dress?"
I laughed and said, "Well, unless you want to spend a thousand dollars we should head to Prairie View Mall."
Bodhi said, "Got it. So you need a dress, purse, shoes... lingerie?"
I put my hand on Bodhi's thigh and said, "Down boy. All I really need is a dress."
He chuckled and said, "A guy can dream."
I kept my hand on Bodhi's thigh as he drove. It was a technique I had used on guys in the past to keep them "at attention" so to speak. Since Bodhi was in chastity I was sure it was an effective way to keep him focused on me.
At the mall I tried on seven different dresses at three different stores before I found one I liked. By that time it was already eight o'clock. Bodhi said, "Where would you like to go for dinner?"
I said, "Well, I have lots of shoes and I have to pick a pair to go with my new dress. How about we pick up Tai takeout and go back to my place. Then after we eat I can model my shoes for you and you can pick a pair."
Bodhi enthusiastically said, "Perfect. Let's go."
At my house I got us some black tea to go with our food. After we finished eating I said , "You may put our dishes in the sink."
It was a small test. Bodhi quickly stood and began clearing the table. He passed with flying colors. He said, "Do you want me to wash the dishes?"
I said, "No we can leave them for the maid." The truth was I didn't want to waste any more time. I was horny and I wanted to play.
Bodhi looked my way and said, "You have a maid?"
I said, "No... well actually I do but he typically only cleans on Saturdays or Sundays."
Bodhi stopped and said, "Wait... he?"
I cocked my head to the side and said, "Uh yeah. It's complicated. We'll get into that later."
I turned and walked out of the kitchen and said, "Follow me to the shoes."
Bodhi followed me to the walk in closet in my bedroom. I turned on the light and said, "Hold out your arms."
