Cheryl and I had just returned to my apartment after a long afternoon of shopping, and once we had some cool drinks in our hands, we each flopped out on the sofa, our shoes off, our feet propped up on the coffee table, our legs spread in rather unladylike poses.
"Bryan would love this view of us, you know."
I laughed softly. "Looking straight up our miniskirts. Yeah, most guys would probably kill to have such a view."
"Yeah. Reminds me of an anime Bryan and I saw once. I think it was called Colorful, if I remember right, about the things guys do to see women naked or at least see their underwear."
"Sounds like a prof I had once in grad school."
"Ugh."
"Yeah. That's the reason that the female half of the student population in the class always sat as far away from him as possible, so the male half would sit between him and us and block his views up our skirts when he was sitting at the desk."
"Ugh."
"Yeah."
"Was he at least easy on the eyes?"
"Absolutely not! Even worse: He was almost always at least tipsy, if not actually full-out drunk. He was literally just marking time until retirement."
"Ouch. The worst kind of prof."
"Yeah."
We drank in silence for a while before Cheryl put her hand on my thigh. That was nothing uncommon for us, especially given that we had been both roommates and intimate partners in college, so I did not think too much about it.
"I miss being with you," she said softly.
"I know. I feel the same." I was surprised that my voice was quieter than hers, but the softness both sounded and felt just right. As I shifted my Diet Coke to my left hand, I wondered if Cheryl was trying to restart what we had shared so often in college, even though she had Bryan to take care of her needs. But I placed my free hand on hers nonetheless, hoping that perhaps something more than a tender touch would result from this, but knowing deep inside that I definitely did not want to get between my best friend and her boyfriend.
"But I know you though," Cheryl noted. "You wouldn't do anything unless you were certain that Bryan and I would be okay with it."
"Absolutely," I confirmed. "I don't want to wreck what you two have going for you."
"Yeah, well... I have an idea."
"Oh? What's that?" She definitely had my attention.
Cheryl's hand moved from beneath mine to slip over the curve of my inner thigh, dangerously close to the miniskirt - closer than would be acceptable if we were not in private. "You know quite well that I switch, but Bryan's never seen me submit to anyone. He's curious what I'm like when I'm submissive."
I immediately saw the plan, even before my best friend explained it to me. Given that Bryan was submissive to her, she would restrain him somehow and force him to watch while I dominated her. I could even do whatever I wanted with him, but other than perhaps giving him a blowjob, I could not take him inside me ("That's reserved for me!" she noted quite emphatically).
"What about my limits with you?" I asked.
She smiled, her bright eyes narrowing. "No toilet play, no knives, no fire, and nothing up my ass. Same as before."

The anticipated day arrived. I was rather nervous about it, primarily because it had been such a long time since I had done anything with Cheryl beyond briefly holding hands or sharing a longer-than-acceptable hug. Even though she was my best friend, even though I saw her nearly every day at work, even though we had maintained a chasteness between us in the three years since she and Bryan had begun dating, I still wanted her. I still wanted to taste her. I still wanted to eat her and feel her thighs clamping my head in place. I still wanted to lock a collar around her neck and lead her through the apartment as she crawled, naked and prickling with clothespins. I still wanted to chain her to the bolt in the ceiling, leaving her entire body exposed to me as I whipped her with greater and greater force. I still wanted to have her bound to the bedposts, unable to touch herself while the vibrators kept her just shy of the edge of climax well beyond the point at which she started to beg tearfully for just one orgasm. I still wanted to choke her as she masturbated me and hoped that she would not pass out before she could make me cum.
I still wanted Cheryl to kneel before me, her body reddened and aching, her chest heaving, her hair disheveled, her face dripping with sweat and tears, her thighs wet with her lust, and looking wearily up at me with her soft voice saying once again between her hard breaths: "Thank you, Mistress."
Simply thinking about Cheryl in such a position had made me perpetually wet for a week. Seeing her almost every day was difficult, because I kept wanting to grab her by the hair, force her to her knees, and do naughty things to her in the office while our colleagues and visiting clients all watched with awe.
I knew that Cheryl had also been eagerly anticipating the day's "main event." When I arrived and hugged my best friend, she whispered into my ear, "I'm so horny for you, Mistress."
I said nothing, instead simply kissing her cheek and leaving my imprint upon her pale flesh. Cheryl was already marked as mine, even though Bryan was standing nearby. He and I soon hugged as well, but that hug did not convey such a long and intimate history.
The switch was already wearing next to nothing: a shiny red bra with a frilly black fringe along the tops and bottoms of the cups, presumably a matching panty, and a black miniskirt held together by ribbons tied at each hip. Her heels were lower than what she would wear at the office, but they still gave her height a nice lift. A black scrunchy held her hair back in a ponytail so that the ends of her hair brushed across her shoulder blades.
For his part, Bryan looked rather tasty. He was shirtless, with his long black pants practically molded to him and making it clear that he wore nothing beneath them. He was already somewhat erect, which made me wonder what he and Cheryl had been doing before my arrival.
I made a mental note to ask Cheryl about that later.
Like a good gentleman, Bryan offered his girlfriend his arm, and they quickly disappeared into the bedroom, closing the door behind them. Cheryl wanted to surprise me with how she had him restrained, which was fine, as that gave me the time to change into the clothes I had brought with me.
After ensuring the blinds had been closed in both the living room and the dining room, I set down my duffel bag and began to undress. Eventually, I was ready: black pasties with golden tassels, a crotchless black panty, and a golden miniskirt which was more than transparent enough to show the barely-there covering underneath. I had just put on the black heels when the bedroom door opened.
"Oh my..." Cheryl breathed appreciatively.
"I could say the same about you," I responded with a smile. "Let's go see your handiwork."
She had definitely done a good job. One of the sturdy hard wood dining room chairs had been brought into the bedroom and placed in the corner by the window, the thick closed blinds preventing anyone outside from seeing him. Several red ropes had been used to secure him at the wrists, elbows, ankles, waist, and across the chest; two other ropes were wrapped around his thighs and used to pull them apart in an awkward display. He was blindfolded with a gag filling his mouth, and knowing about his fantasy of sucking some other guy while Cheryl watched, I presumed it was a penis gag. Bryan's pants had been unzipped, with a slickened erection pointing toward the ceiling, indicating that the switch had been sucking him shortly beforehand.
