I wish I could write and publish the entire story over a period of time because most of it is almost ready for publication. Much would depend on the response of the readers and my own interest in seeing it through. It would be unfair if I did not express my indebtedness to John but for whom this would never have been possible.

How it began...
Sarah came highly recommended to John Williams, CEO of a large and reputed company. Her interview was a revelation, not only was she highly qualified and competent, she was extremely attractive. Yet, behind the mask of confidence that she was showing, there was shyness. This piqued John's interest, especially with what was firmly locked away in his cellar.
All went well for the first month as she coped well with how the business was set up. But, on Monday of the fifth week, he got a phone call reporting car problems and Sarah's inability to attend office. When it happened again on Tuesday, John's patience was tried to its limit.
To stop it in its tracks and set in motion his own plans for her, John offered Sarah accommodation within his home. He didn't want to let her go unless he had to. She was an excellent worker, and John was pleased when she accepted this offer and had decided to move in.
There was something about her, something in that interview, which had also kindled John's interest then. He was pleased he'd secretly filmed the interview, which he usually did for 'future reference material'. Her movements, her veiled attempts at confidence, her blushing for no apparent reason came to John's mind when Sarah had decided to stay at his place. A desire to secretly see it again, and in the privacy of his home, made him sit back and rewind the recording of that interview. As the film rolled, John found that she was indeed extremely shy with a sense of submissiveness about her that covered a very sexually desirable body. There was a growing hardness in his loins as he watched and, even when it ended, he found an uncontrolled interest in Sarah's impending stay.

In Sarah's words...
I was ecstatic when I bagged the post of Research Secretary to the middle aged Chief Executive of a renowned pharmaceutical company. Frankly, despite my qualifications, my lack of experience stood against me among more versatile candidates. To add to it, my shyness hindered my interviews. I lost count of the number of jobs that had slipped out of my hands as I became more and more conscious of my shyness. For someone who had completed her academic pursuits, I was desperate for a job which seemed as elusive as a mirage.
Recommended by the father of a close friend of mine, I had appeared for my interview for this job. Wild goose bumps continued to plague me as I sat in front of this CEO, certain that I would fail again. However, there was a way in his approach that soothed my nerves somewhat and, after a while, it was possible to respond to his questions calmly. There was only one thing of discomfiture in that long interview and that was the manner in which his eyes roamed over me. But, after the initial reservations, I took it as a normal curiosity of an employer sizing up his would-be recruit.
So it was that I was absorbed in the pay rolls of this company but, among its disadvantages, I had to leave my parents and hometown and relocate to a reasonable accommodation in the rather distant outskirts of the city of my employment.
The first month was just fine and I simply thought that patience has its rewards. Or else, how could I have ever got this great job when earlier I had failed to come out successful. My boss, I felt, was wonderful. A bit domineering perhaps, but one couldn't ask for everything. And, I had to admit, he looked fit and fine at his age.
It was probably in the fifth or sixth week, I think, that events took a turn - whether it was for the good or bad, only time would tell. We had an extremely busy work schedule coming up from Monday and my CEO had warned me that it would be a high pressure week. Unfortunately, I had some car problems and I missed office. The snags continued the next day as well. On both the days I rang and told my boss. Even if he was cross, he didn't show it in excess. But, when I turned up on Wednesday, one of the first things that he suggested was that I move in to his mansion where communication would not be a problem and I would be 'more than available' (that's the phrase he used) for the greater part of the twentyfour hours at the service of the company. Something in his eyes told me not to refuse the offer if I considered staying employed and I didn't. I moved in the next day.
I had brought along just two light cases, packing them with some decent clothing and other essentials from my wardrobe. I didn't inform the landlady that I was leaving her apartment for good, merely informing her that I had a small official trip to undertake and that I would be back by the weekend. My intention was that if I had settled down nicely in the accommodation being provided by the CEO and boss, Mr. John Williams, I would return and vacate the present apartment. Or else, if it was otherwise than to my liking, I would just return as if my tour was concluded.
Mr. Williams was most happy to receive me and acted more like a gracious host than a boss when he helped me with the cases that were in my hand. When I wanted to carry them myself, he protested seriously and I trudged along behind him. When we reached my allotted room he quickly left, telling me something about getting 'acquainted' with my surroundings and that he would meet me at the terrace in an hour. I thanked him as I shut the door, relieved at being alone for a while. Frankly, I had been a bit tense from the moment I had walked into the mansion and more than surprised that he was attending to me himself instead of delegating it to any of his house staff, none of whom seemed immediately visible. As he ushered me into my room he looked at me and said that he had arranged tea on the terrace, for an hour later. Having said that, he turned and left.
I was accommodated in a room that I found to be spacious. It had the warmth and snugness that I found to my liking. The pictures and paintings adorning the walls spoke of the man's taste. The furniture was carefully chosen and the curtains on the windows were just what a woman would look for. In the centre of the room was a queen-size upholstered poster bed, luxuriantly draped with the finest linen and I admired the man's taste once again. The walls were moderately decorated with built-in cupboards spread over the entire wall on one side. A large mirror looked down on to the bed from the opposite wall, the purpose for which seemed mischievous to me. A space on another wall housed an inbuilt dressing table, large enough to hold a shop-full of cosmetics. I was thrilled to see all the cosmetics that filled the dressing table and wondered, how on earth any man could be so very informed on these finer requirements of a woman.
I rummaged through the drawers to the cupboards to find the top one empty which I guessed were for me to put my clothes in. But, when I started to open the remaining drawers of the cupboards, I gasped in surprise as I saw what this man had selected and stored. Here was an entire array of women's underclothing - from lacy exotic bra and thong sets plus matching g-strings to sheer babydolls and the flimsiest nighties; from black leather shoes and pumps to knee high boots, all with at least 5 inch heels or more, And in one of the topmost drawers, a pair of steel handcuffs and a black leather collar beside which lay an equally intimidating black leash. I couldn't help but read what was written on the collar in metallic letters - I AM A SLUT.
I stood mesmerized watching these items that lay inside the wardrobe and the drawers. My hands literally went to my mouth, thanking my stars that Mr. Williams was not present at this moment. I would have never had the courage to face him with all these openly lying in front of me. But, I quickly realized that if there was anyone who had equipped this room with such erotic and sexy items, it had to be Mr. Williams alone. He was the master of this house and it was he who had made arrangements for my stay in this very room. Oh my god! How could I ever face him on the terrace in a short while from now? I looked back at the handcuffs and the collar once again. The engraved words stood out haughtily, almost hypnotizing me.
I quickly closed the cupboard and, having washed and changed into a soft summer dress and lingerie that I had brought along with me, slowly walked out on to the terrace. Mr. Williams was waiting for me but the moment I faced him I started blushing profusely. He knows I have seen his choices, I thought to myself. He stood up, waiting for me to take a chair, before sitting down himself.
''l hope the room is to your liking Sarah, l took the liberty of purchasing you some items as well. l hope you are pleased with them'', I heard Mr. Williams saying, which only aggravated the flush in my face.
My shyness engulfed me. I simply nodded my head, wondering how he would take my response. Fortunately, his cellphone started ringing and he was kept busy for a while, much to my relief.
