Part 4
"Somewhere" turns out to be out of the city, thank God. You drive us across the GWB and then head south on 95 toward the Meadowlands, with the speakers blaring a custom playlist you've put together--"When I Rule the World" by LIZ, "Dictator" by REI AMI, "SIMP" by Lil Mariko, and a couple dozen other songs carefully curated to put me in my place. It's a Wednesday night--which is a good thing, because it means there are no football games. I can totally see you bringing me to a game and buying sideline tickets to be sure we end up on the cameras, the mood you're in today. But we pass the Meadowlands and I exhale.
"I was thinking about the Lombardi service area," you say at last, turning down the music. I can't tell if you're serious or not. "But that might be a bit much, even for you, Slutty. You've never shown the slightest interest in sucking a real cock, more's the pity. I'd love to see you do that for me one day."
I swallow hard. That would be a red line. Of course, I thought being taken out on a date dressed in women's clothing and made up like a juggalo was a red line, too. Apparently it's not.
You glance at me. "Ah, well. A girl can dream. Maybe one day."
Instead, you turn the music back up and we turn onto Route 17 and drive for a while. You tap your fingers on The Disciplinarian's controller as TIMMS' "Tamagotchi" comes on ("don'tcha love a bitch in power?"), and then you lower the volume again as you look over at me again, a devilish smile tugging at the corners of your mouth. "So yeah, I wanted to see you suck a cock, but I know I'll never get that. But then I thought, 'You know what? I still know a way to get a big ol' chunk of meat into Slutty's McSlutface.'"
We pull into a parking lot for a single large concrete building. At first, all I see are the crenellations lining the top of its walls, but then I see the sign and I wince. "So come on, Slutty," you say encouragingly. "Girls' night out. Let's go watch some handsome men show us their wood."
On one hand, this is going to be awful. On the other, it's absolutely impossible that I know anyone here. You've chosen the spot well. And I've come this far, it's not like I'm going to back out now. Even if I really, really want to. "Yes, Mistress," I say, closing my eyes and summoning the strength to open the door. 3, 2... and I'm out.
The parking lot is half-full, with dozens of people still getting out of their cars. In these first few moments, no one seems to have seen me. I hope that stays the case all night, but I can't see how it could. I open your door for you and give you a hand out. "Why, thank you, pet," you say sweetly.
And then you're past me and on your way toward the door. "Twenty feet, remember," you call as you pass me. *Fuck*. I'd forgotten. I hasten to catch up.
We have a moment before we catch up to the others near the door. Still, no one seems to have seen me. "You're going to protect me, right?" I ask nervously. "If things get weird?"
You smile up at me. Your lips are still perfect, red and glossy, and your teeth are bright white behind them. Your eyes glimmer wickedly. "Now, Slutty, dear," you say, and let out the sweetest little laugh. "Why would I ever want to do that?"
I stand there, mouth open, flushed and flustered, as you make your way to the small crowd at the door. *Twenty feet*. Holy hell. What the fuck have I gotten myself into?
Three seconds, four. You're 15 feet away now. I think about running for the car. Running for the swamp. But the little test shock you gave me back in the shop hurt so badly. I'll be on the ground if it lasts for more than a second or two. And I don't even know what you turned it up to when you were playing with the controller in the car. I try to remember the sound, how many clicks I heard. I don't remember.
I can't risk it. I run after you, bolting toward the door. A pudgy middle-aged guy in a too-short, too wide green dress, leg hair everywhere, gray chest hair through the drooping chest area, cock bouncing under the dress, disastrous makeup. Running for the door.
People are laughing. My face is burning. But I have no choice. I catch up to you.
"Good decision," you say with a smile, and tap the controller. "Smart girl."
"Fuck you," I say, under my breath. "Damn you to Hell for this."
You laugh with the crowd. "Hell is where all the interesting people go, darling. Why would I want to go anywhere else? Now come on, I paid a lot for our seats and I don't want to miss a thing."
You take my hand and lead me past the door, flashing your phone at the ticket taker to show the QR code. "Two," you say. "Myself and Ms. McSlutface."
The ticket taker, a teen boy dressed in blue and white checks, cracks up. "Nice name."
