This is the 28th installment of an ongoing story about Michele a and Tim. For sure, it is a disturbing relationship and is in no way intended to describe something healthy or ideal. Emotional sadism is central to it all. If this bothers you, this is not the story for you and I suggest you venture elsewhere.
What makes the story interesting to me is what takes place in the minds of the characters. Withouts words and ideas and the feelings that go with them, it's all just mechanics and honestly, that's not so interesting to me. Simple, pure fucking is a great thing to do. I don't need to read about it. Perhaps when I was verrrrrrrry young, that alone would have intrigued me. Now...yawn. This is a dark, emotional journey. I hope you enjoy it.
The following preface is cut and pasted from installment II. For a more comprehensive understanding of their world, you can venture back to the first installment. Read it or skip it.
This story takes place in a very male dominant society, one which is even more patriarchal than our own. Our hero, Michele, is enchanted by the discovery of her own sexual super power. Poor, lucky Tim, on the other hand comes to realize that he falls under Michels's spell, he does not measure up to societal expectations. These two young people are discovering and becoming as they grow together as a couple.
Psychological conflict and tension are central themes in this saga.

The story has been formatted to meet the publishing requirement of our host and I am hopeful the necessary kinks have been worked out.
A more complete preface can be found at the beginning of the first installment and if you did not read it, it could be helpful to do so. Here are some of the contextual parameters of the fictional world the story takes place within.
* People are legal adults at 18 years of age.
* People usually live to about 2,000 years of age.
* The cultural norm has almost all legal adults living with their family of origin until they turn 200 years old.
* Young people between the ages of 18 and 200 are treated as and referred to as children when they choose to continue living with their parents.
* Young people between the ages of 18 and 200 often behave much as we would expect teenagers to behave here in our world. They are kept in a state of arrested emotional development.
* Young people between the ages of 18 and 200 years customarily consume "blockers" which prevent them from having sexual feelings or impulses.
* Often young people will begin to "date" around 160 yers of age and while they are expected to continue to take their blockers, some will surreptitiously stop taking them while a few will stop responding to them.
* Age and masculinity are revered in this world. Everybody looks up to their elders and few seriously question the patriarchy.
All characters in the story are over 18 years of age.
It is customary for those below the age of 200 to demonstrate their status by wearing clothing which signify to others that they are off limits. They would wear what we would think of as children's clothing. Remember, an 18 year old and a 1,900 year old would look exactly the same age, so children's clothes are very useful for signaling to those over 200 years to abstain from any romantic or sexual pursuit of another who was deemed of an inappropriate age.
Lastly, sex is not technically illegal for people between the ages of 18 and 200 years. It is considered profoundly taboo. Adult-children (18+) do have sex but it is kept very quiet. Some parents punish their children for engaging in this sinful pleasure and adult-children almost never tell-on one another in this regard, even those who might not like one another. Adult children live by a code and violation of said code subjects one to complete ostracization. Almost none experiment until they are well over 160 years old.

Michele just let things be. She went back to school and to her big, exciting life as a celebrity, academic social icon and fiancé to an amazing man and it was a truly great life to go back to.
Krista and Becky went out and got that U-Haul, metaphorically speaking. Becky only needed a few boxes for her clothes. She moved in with Krista, which is to say she kept moving. They were together almost always. Krista spent much of her time in southern California working away with Michele and kept Becky by her side.
Though more often in the south, they did come home often and Krista allowed Becky and Tim to spend time with one another, though intimacy between the two was forbidden by Krista. Krista was very much the controlling hand that Becky lived for. Though she missed intimacy with Tim, she loved the control Krista exerted over her even more. Besides, Becky thought that in time, Krista might allow Becky to be with her brother...or her sister. It would just take a while.
Tim remained at home with Donna.
Tim loved his mother dearly and at times, desperately. Though it was not on the same level it was with Michele, he came to be in love with Donna as well.
The two worked diligently on their relationship and as a consequence, Tim truly and completely accepted that Donna was his actual mother. Her messaging on this was nearly constant. Intellectually he knew otherwise but that mattered not at all to the boy Donna was and would always be his Mommy and he loved her with all his heart.
Yet he was depressed. He wondered if he'd ever get over Michele. He felt listless.
Fortunately for him, Donna was every bit the task master as her daughter and saw to it that Tim remained busy. Though the house was too large to clean himself, he was required to report to Gretchen, the full time housekeeper, Monday through Friday. Gretchen was the overseer to four housekeepers in total of which Tim was one.
He kept part time hours, but was required to answer to Gretchen two to three hours a day, five days a week. He retained his houseboy status the moment he awoke until dinner. If nobody was able to cover the dinner shift, it fell to him. Of course he had plenty of time to himself in the between hours if his commitments were met and Donna was not around. Gretchen arrived at nine every morning and assigned him work for his shift.
Though a recent German immigrant who spoke broken English, she knew well Tim's unusual status in the house. The whole staff knew. She took her time to get comfortable with the unusual situation, but in time, relaxed into her own role and enjoyed giving voice to her naturally dominant and overbearing tendencies.
Though the same age, she loved that she could be hard and condescending to an Poreschean man. It felt both liberating and natural to be herself with no need to self reflect and bite her tongue as would otherwise be expected of a young lady in any other situation.
Gretchen imagined that some in her new community looked down on her because she was an outsider who had yet to master the language. She was a very proud, young woman and the indignity graded on her.
The Lanza home came to represent more than just employment, it encouraged self discovery. Tim helped to somehow balance out the indignity she felt as an outsider.
She relished her position and delighted in lording over the boy even if for only a few hours a day. She was a dominant girl who, without great consideration, idealized and was drawn to, dominant men. Yet as she grew to enjoy her position over Tim, she began to fantasize about using him sexually. Clearly she was sexualizing her sense of workplace power over him and imagined using him as bosses have used underlings since time immemorial.
Gretchen was influenced in full by western culture and could not help but associate the attractive, house maid with sex toy. This perception of her own place, while imagining some others would see her in this light, was part of what grated on her about her position as immigrant maid. Yet the outstanding pay coupled with her position over Tim made it all a great job for the young lady.
In any other home, she'd see Tim as her boss, one of her bosses or at least boss adjacent. In her first short stint as a maid in her new country, she worked for a man who's live-in girlfriend treated Gretchen as though she were Gretchen's boss. The woman was extremely condescending and Gretchen had to muster all her German resolve to hold it all inside. Now she got to lord over the boss's boyfriend and she found it invigorating.
Donna was a keen observer and saw the way Gretchen worked with Tim. Not only did Donna approve of Gretchen's superior attitude with her boy, she liked it. Donna began to subtly encourage it.
At first she did so by commanding Tim in front of Gretchen. This was not really done to encourage the new maid, it was a natural expression of their relationship. People in the home were going to see it. Yet as Donna witnessed how Gretchen always gravitated toward her interactions with Tim, she began to put on a little show. Donna was getting off on the exhibition of her power over Tim.
