[Hello kittens! Chapter nine already?! Thanks so much for all your comments and messages so far -- those of you who've already read RAMTBB might spot some familiar territory in this chapter --- Enjoy! EG x]
==================================================
Polite notice: this, is chapter *nine* of an eleven-chapter novella.
Personally? I think the chapters are infinitely more enjoyable read in order, but of course I'm not going to police how you enjoy your smut!
(It's also a prequel to the first story I shared -- it works as a standalone story too, but parts of this chapter will be more meaningful if you've already read Rules are Made to be Broken.)
Too busy to catch up? Here's where we're at:
Jessica, is coming to the end of her week of training to be a submissive call girl. Tonight, her teacher, Mr Swift, is taking her back to the BDSM club they visited in Chapter 6, and everything she's learned so far will be put to the test...
==================================================
Anna swipes through the photos on her phone, showing me what she thinks is almost definitely going to be the site for her new bakery and coffee shop.
'It's a little more expensive than I'd like, but the location is perfect, and the kitchen is a dream!' she gushes brightly.
'It looks brilliant.' I tell her, 'And I can pay you my rent next week rather than at the end of the month if that helps at all?' I add, thinking about the £5000 coming my way if I can pull off tonight. Which I am absolutely determined to do.
'Oh no, it's fine silly. I've got the budget for it; just means I'll have a little less wiggle room for a while.' She shrugs and I stifle a giggle, thinking of how little wiggle room I had last night when I was bound at Mr Swift's mercy.
'How are you suddenly rich enough to be paying rent early, anyway? Did you get your job back at the bar?' she asks absently, still swiping through her phone.
'Um, no.' I reply, panicking a little. 'I've found something else. Well, hopefully. I've got an interview later. I don't want to say too much yet, in case I jinx it.' I add vaguely. Luckily, Anna is too distracted with her own big plans to notice my awkward squirming.

'Jessica, hi!' Citrine greets me warmly, 'Good to see you again.' She smiles, putting her coffee on the table and sitting down opposite me as though we're old friends catching up, and we weren't both practically naked the last and only time we met.
'You too!' I reply, matching her tone as I take in her scrubs and casual pony tail. She's still beautiful, but almost unrecognisable as the girl with the clamped and bejewelled nipples I met a couple of nights ago. 'Thanks again for asking Crystal to give me your number -- and for agreeing to meet me.' I add gratefully.
'No problem at all, we precious jewels need to stick together.' She whispers with a wink, 'Well, potential precious jewels.' She adds with a shrug. I notice the ID lanyard around her neck,
'Carly?' I say nodding to it and she smiles,
'You didn't think Citrine was my real name, surely?' she laughs lightly, 'It's one of Crystal's rules -- each girl goes by a gemstone inspired pseudonym, for privacy reasons.'
'Oh! Well, that makes more sense. I thought maybe your parents were French or something.' I blush, feeling a bit silly.
'No, nothing so exotic!' she smiles, 'So, how can I help?' she asks, taking a sip of her drink.
'Well, it's less about the job itself, more the logistics if I take it.' I start. 'Do your friends and family know that you do, what you do?' I ask and she immediately shakes her head.
'God no! Nobody does. If I told my mum, she'd be horrified. She'd shout and cry and beg me to stop, then I'd probably lie & keep doing it anyway. I don't plan on working for Crystal forever, so I figure, where's the point in hurting her for no reason?' She replies and I nod,
'That's what I thought. So how do you handle it -- like, how does your mum think you pay your rent?' I ask
'She thinks I'm temping in a call centre.' Carly shrugs, looking slightly guilty. 'I mean, part of my course includes shifts at the hospital, which she does know about, but she also knows the pay is minimal. I invented the call centre gig as a cover story for why I'm never short of cash. It's boring enough that she doesn't ask questions.' She reasons and I nod 'So, if you're trying to figure out logistics, I guess you must be pretty sure you're going to take the job?' she asks, smiling kindly.
'Hopefully.' I say, 'So long as I get through tonight and Crystal actually offers me one.' I tell her, twirling a ringlet of hair around my forefinger nervously.
'Ah, back to the club for mini practice bookings?' she asks and I nod. 'I remember those. I was so freaked out beforehand, I was sure I was gonna bail.' She tells me honestly.
'What stopped you?' I ask, hoping for inspiration.
'Blind determination and pretending I was someone else.' She says plainly, I narrow my eyes at her, not understanding. 'I was a bit of a wannabe drama kid at high school -- so I went into those mini bookings like I was just playing a part in a movie. It was enough to get me over the threshold, then my natural inclination to submit kicked in and it was all over before I knew it.' She shrugs again, smiling. 'Of course, the thought of the money helped too!' she adds and we both giggle.
On my way back home, after Carly and I have said our goodbyes, I pass an antique bookshop and notice a sign in the window:
Vacancy: Shop assistant needed. Competitive salary, flexible hours.
No experience needed, but a love of literature is essential.
I smile as I step inside the little shop, hoping that I might have just found myself a perfect cover story.

Later that night, the car comes to a stop in the underground carpark and I feel my stomach fill with butterflies. Mr Swift takes my cuffed wrists in his hands and makes me look him in the eye.
'Are you ready to go inside, Jessica?' he asks calmly.
I take a deep breath and nod, looking down at the cuffs on my wrists -- free from any red ribbon -- showing that tonight, I don't belong exclusively to Mr Swift.
Another flutter spreads between my legs, and it has nothing to do with how nervous I am. I look back up into his dark eyes and reply,
'Yes, Master.'
Inside, memories of the last time I was here rush through my mind like a movie-montage. I glance at the table where the two business men had sat with their naked collared blondes at their feet. It's now occupied by a tall, broad shouldered blonde man wearing a casual blue suit, his white shirt open at the neck. To his right, stands a blonde girl about my height, with her arms bound tightly behind her back, there are white ropes bound around her wrists, and above her elbows too. Her eyes are closed gently and I notice the man is absently fingering her bald pussy while he watches a petite redhead on stage being mercilessly flogged by a bare-chested Dominant.
'Jessica, Come.' Mr Swift's voice brings me back to reality as he tugs gently on my cuffs and leads me to a table where I recognise a familiar face. Mr Swift takes a seat and I drop to my knees on the velvet floor cushion beside him without having to be asked.
'Good evening, Vincent.' Mr Swift greets his friend amiably
'Very good indeed, Oliver.' I hear him reply. I quickly realise that the floor cushion opposite me, where Citrine was kneeling the last time I was here, is empty. Pieces start falling into place and my heart starts to beat a little faster.
I keep my eyes cast down, concentrating on my hands, resting lightly on my bare thighs. Tonight's dress is a strapless bandeau style, in black satin with a zip all the way down the front. It's even shorter than the one I wore on my first visit here, and even when I'm standing, the curves of where my ass meets my thighs are clearly on display. At least there's no cut-out exposing my ass this time, although the jewelled base butt plug is firmly in place again.
'Jessica,' Mr Swift's voice pulls me out of my reverie and I quickly look up to him, awaiting his instructions. 'Mr Salter would like you to accompany him to a private room.' He tells me simply.
