Chapter One
Grace was thirsty ... and horny.
She'd heard about a lesbian bar in the pricier part of town. She might not exactly "fit in" there, since she was dressed in her habitual sleeveless black shirt and tattered black jeans. Her jet black spiky hair and pierced eyebrows might engender a few scowls in such an establishment. But she didn't care. If you're a butch lesbian, you may as well act the part, was her philosophy. At 21 years of age, Grace had the hormones of youth surging through her and felt she had it all under control and knew her role and place in life.
As she entered, many sets of eyes flicked in her direction. They scanned her hair, piercings and outfit, and couldn't help but note the tattoo on her arm depicting two interlocking symbols of Venus done in a quite creative style. She was proud of that tattoo. It was her marker on her territory. As her boots clumped across the hardwood floor of the bar, the eyes left her, dismissively and disapprovingly.
As Grace's eyes adjusted to the subdued lighting, she saw lots of couples and small groups of women, drinking and chatting. She recognized "All the Girls Love Alice" by Elton John being played on the bar's sound system. All of the women seemed dressed up, several notches higher than Grace's getup, which made Grace's entrance that much more obvious. But being butch, Grace wasn't fazed one bit. She looked for a place to sit.
Most, if not all, of the tables were occupied. But the stools at the bar were empty. Empty, except for one lone woman, sitting there at the end, completely poised. The woman had shown no sign of noticing Grace's arrival. She sipped her white wine. Even that act of sipping her drink looked elegant. Grace looked more carefully at the impeccably dressed female.
In the bar lights, it wasn't possible to discern the woman's hair color. It could've been dirty blonde, or brunette, or auburn. But it looked like shining silk, perfectly straight strands cascading to the level of the woman's shoulders. Her dress could've been satin or silk, and it had a slit up one side high enough to show the woman's bare hip, revealing the fact that she obviously wore no panties. The slit had fallen open, allowing the entire length of one long, extremely shapely leg to be in full view. This was a woman Grace would love to take home.
Brashly, Grace plodded over to sit on the stool next to the enchanting female. Speaking to the bartender, she barked, "I'll have a boilermaker." She ignored the slight wince the woman behind the bar made, hearing this order.
When the beer mug and the shot of whiskey were placed before her, Grace dropped the shot into the beer glass, and quickly chugged it down. If there were mutterings of dismay from the tables behind her, Grace appeared to be oblivious to them. She wiped some foam off her lips with her forearm and tried to think how to break the ice. A curious, but fascinating scent wafted into her nostrils.
Turning to the woman, Grace tried to make what she considered small talk. "That's a nice scent you're wearing, lady. What perfume is it?"
The woman looked Grace fully in the face for the first time. Her eyes were dark pools that were mesmerizing. She took her time responding. During that time, Grace felt like her very soul was being scanned and probed by those eyes. She'd never felt anything like this before. Unthinking, Grace actually leaned slightly toward the woman, as if hanging on her answer.
Finally, the perfect ruby lips below those compelling eyes curved into a restrained smile, parted, and the woman spoke. In a haunting, melodious tone, she answered, "I'm wearing no perfume at all."
Grace gulped. "No perfume?" she thought. "That scent is just her? It makes me want to ... well, not just her scent. Everything about her -- hair, eyes, mannerisms, voice, style -- was so compelling. And she radiated such an aura of control. As if nothing startled or shook her." As these thoughts raced through Grace's mind, she noticed something out of the corner of her eye. A woman at one of the tables was subtly signaling her to come over.
"Excuse me," Grace said, as she stood up. The woman made no comment and appeared uninterested in Grace's sudden exit, sipping her wine. Grace went over to see what the gesturing woman wanted.
"Yes?" said Grace when she was close enough to converse.
"I wanted to warn you, whoever you are. That's Mistress Helene you're trying to talk with over there. You're way out of your league. She'll chew you up into little pieces and spit you out," the woman conveyed,
sotto voce
.
"Oh?" Grace retorted. "We'll see about that." She headed back to the bar.
Behind her back, the woman who tried to warn her rolled her eyes and said to her companion, "Ah, the confidence of youth. Haven't I always told you that youth is wasted on the young?" Her companion giggled politely. They both intermittently glanced at the bar to witness Grace going down in flames.
Grace reclaimed the bar stool next to the serene personification of femininity. Turning to the woman again, she said, "Sorry if we got off on the wrong foot somehow. My name is Grace." She stuck out her hand invitingly.
The woman looked alternatively amused and disdainful, eyeing Grace up and down. She made no movement to take Grace's hand. Those oh so desirable lips of hers parted once again and she spoke. "If you wish to have a conversation with me, girl, you will address me by my proper title, which is Mistress Helene. And you will do so while kneeling humbly at my feet. Is that understood?" The words were delivered with power, but also with perfect control, as if the woman didn't care one way or the other how Grace would react to them.
Something primal was triggered in Grace's core, as those words rang in her ears. Something she'd never suspected even existed. She felt her knees folding, bending, as if compelled to do so. More than anything else in the world at that moment, she actually wanted to kneel as she was told. She craved the approval of this woman. She had no idea why, but she had to have it, just like she had to breathe. Come to think of it, she wasn't breathing, since her body was busy trying to decide what to do. She drew a shuddering breath and slowly sank to her knees at the woman's feet.
Grace's heart was now pounding in her chest. She was kneeling as if praying to her new Goddess. She didn't understand why she was doing it. She was a butch. She controlled the action. It was part of her DNA. Yet was it? Self-doubt was flooding through Grace's mind. Somehow this felt right, worshiping her Mistress.
The women at the adjoining table were now snickering, seeing Grace on her knees in front of Mistress Helene. The woman who warned Grace guffawed, "See, it only took 15 seconds and that arrogant punk is on her knees."
Mistress Helene extended her foot in front of Grace. Her foot was encased in a Jimmy Choo open toe high heel sandal, and each of her toes bore an immaculate bright red nail polish.
"Worship my foot and I'll consider taking you home."
The voice, though soft, was commanding. An unseen force made Grace bend her head forward slowly, again breathing in that intoxicating scent, as she lowered her lips to that beckoning foot. Grace no longer felt like her body was hers to control, that somehow this bewitching woman had seized it from her with her casual indifference.
"Mistress," Grace uttered, but she thought someone else had said it. She lifted up her Mistress's foot, first licking the sole of the shoe, and then sucking on the heel.
"Very good, Grace."
