"Cute cat."
I swivel in my desk chair and smile at the new summer intern, Sandra something. She's pretty for a college kid, wavy auburn hair, freckled face. Were she not 20 years younger and barely an adult, I would have taken in her full lips, ample breasts, slender waist and nice ass. I keep my eyes on hers as she slides into the visitor chair.
"You're staying late? I didn't think interns got overtime."
She smiles and crosses one leg over the other, showing a bit of thigh, suddenly looking much more sophisticated than the twenty something girl she is. She smiles and glances at the picture of my cat on my shelf over my monitor. "What's her name?"
I follow her eyes to Yogi's picture and when I look back at her she's looking at me in a way that stirs something that's been sleeping for far too long. As well as stirring something in my pants. It's a predator's look, sharp eyes boring into mine, daring me to look away. Seeing me and showing intense interest.
I clear my throat, uncomfortable and turned on and hating myself for feeling the first twinges of submission, of yielding to a dominant. Jesus Christ, she's just a kid. I feel myself getting red and avert my eyes, trying to stay focused on the mundane and not what's unfolding after hours here at my desk. "Um, her is a he. His name is Yogi." I glance up at her for just a moment and have to look away. She's just too intense.
"Sandra, I have to get going, it's late -- "
"I know who you are."
"What?"
She gets out of the visitor's chair and comes around my desk to lean against the side, so close to me that her thigh brushes my leg. She looks down at me and seems to wait for me to continue. Demanding me to speak. The silence stretches out and I try to lean back, give us a little space, but she moves with me until I'm leaning all the way back in my chair and she's got her hand my thigh and is leaning in close.
"Toran. Forty three. Male. Switch Leaning Towards Sub. Location Antarctica. Member since 2014."
I go cold and my heart misses a beat. But I don't say anything, can't say anything. She's described my profile on Fet. My alter personality, the me that never connected with my wife and can't be outed unless I want to lose everything.
"How..." I leave the word hanging, aware it's an admission that I shouldn't have made.
"Yogi. You used that picture as your profile picture. Probably sure that it's safer than using your face or, God forbid, a dick pic. Because no one would ever know that Yogi is your cat, the real you or at least the vanilla you. Unless they saw his picture at work." She reaches out and puts a hand on my chest. It's warm and soft and possessive. I'm silent, churning inside. Like the Seinfeld episode, the two worlds can't collide. I'm not one of those 'liberated' guys who have permission from their wives to go play out their dark fantasies with others to satisfy what's lacking at home. I'm expected to be normal, do normal things, want normal things, fuck like a normal man, have a normal life and provide for a normal family. Except I'm not normal, at least Toran isn't normal. That's why Toran is kept locked up in a cage deep inside me, only to be let free on Fet. Normal me has no place for Toran here at work. Normal me doesn't even have a place with a young woman co-worker half my age.
I'm sure she reads all this on my face because she leans even closer, close enough for me to smell her lavender perfume and mint on her breath. Close enough to kiss those full, red lips. Her eyes bore into mine and she whispers, "I own you."
And then she's slipped from the desk and into my lap and her lips find mine. Her mouth attacks mine, her tongue diving in and claiming me. One hand wraps around the back of my neck and the other reaches down and grabs my dick and balls through my pants, squeezing to the point of pain. I feel her full breasts against my chest and she rubs against me never breaking the kiss. The beginnings of a protest is lost in the feeling of being touched sexually for the first time in many years. The early part of my marriage had a few steamy moments but after my wife tried to be my Mistress and found it lacking for her and then realized that's what I had to have, sex became a dreary routine that eventually stopped altogether. I'm not prepared for the onslaught from this pretty young woman.
She gives my dick and balls one last painful squeeze, eliciting a moan from deep in my throat that gets swallowed by her mouth on mine, and she pulls away, regarding me intently. Both hands find my cheeks and she holds my head firmly, gazing into my eyes. "I've read your stories on Fet. I know who you are, your darkest fantasies, your secrets, your longings." She kisses me again, more than a quick peck as her lips linger on mine for a moment. Then she pulls away and slaps me hard and I can tell by the sudden feral look in her eyes that she liked doing it. "I know what you want. And it turns me on."
She slaps my other cheek, hard. "You want a Mistress. Need a Mistress." A caresses my stinging cheeks, afinger traces my lips, the nail digging in enough to make me wince. "I want a slave. Not a boy who thinks it's all about him. I want a man. I want a man who understands what it means to surrender to me. A man who knows this isn't just a little game to play and get laid. I want a man to beg me, to grovel at my feet, to take the pain I give him, to crawl into my cage and know that I own him, that he's mine. Forever."
She kisses me again, slow and tender, a hand rubbing my chest, flicking a nipple through my shirt. The moment stretches and I'm able to start thinking again, start processing her words, painfully aware that I've never been more aroused in my life. She disengages enough to whisper in my ear, her breath warm and sensual. "I've sent an address to your Fet account. Friday night at 8. Be there or HR gets an anonymous complaint of sexual impropriety on your part and your wife gets copies of everything you've uploaded to Fet."
She climbs off me and straightens her blouse and starts to leave. Giving me a sideway glance she stops, voice soft in the quiet, deserted office. "Fet says you fantasize about being forced to submit. Consider yourself forced." And with that she's gone.
I sit, stunned. The entire encounter takes maybe ten minutes. The line between my life before and the unknown life ahead of me is ten minutes. It's many moments before I can even move or stop staring at the empty space she's just occupied. Numbly, I pull out my phone and log into Fet. There's an unread IM. My breath catches when I see it's from an account named Toran's_Goddess. I open the message. "You know you want this. I want this. Do as I say, surrender to me, and everything will be fine. We'll both enjoy it. I don't bite that hard. Yet. Respond with a 'Yes Mistress, understood' and I won't have to do nasty things to your vanilla life. With love, your Goddess." Followed by an address just outside of town.
I toss the phone onto my desk where it lands on the now insignificant work I'd thought was important enough to keep me late. What the living fuck? I can't do this. Yes, this is my wildest fantasy. Yes, she's hot as fuck and if I let my beast out of its cage it will immediately and without thought or hesitation submit to this young, beautiful woman. Goddess, I correct myself. It's insane. There's no way I can do this.
I realize I'm stroking my hard dick through my pants and stop, disgusted. Looking around the normal vanilla office, the normal vanilla life I've built for myself, the pains I've taken to keep the beast caged deep inside, I have a thought that almost stops my breath. This is the real cage. This normal life. These office walls are the bars, my wife who doesn't see me for who I really am is my vanilla Mistress, my future as a normal man is my sentence. This is my cage.
I pick up the phone and log back into Fet. I find the message and reply. "Yes Mistress, understood."
In the days that follow, Toran's_Goddess sends me only one more IM, a request to make dinner reservations for 8:30 at St. James Envoy, the most luxurious restaurant in town. I'm confused. She wants me to take her to dinner? I've never been to St. James, although I've written about it in my stories on Fet. Research from the internet and talking with co-workers who have sprung for the high-priced dinner there gives me enough material to write my fantasies about wining and dining Mistresses and slaves as a prelude to the dark and depraved, if I'm being honest, sessions that follow. Every good dark BDSM story starts with an appetizer at St. James. The irony of her demand isn't lost on me.
I make the reservations and craft a story about an office party that my boss has planned and knowing my wife hates company functions I'm guaranteed a night alone and without questions. In the meantime, I think. Back and forth between whether I should do this or not, and whether I should like this or not. The beast is straining at the bars of his cage, excited for the dark potential of finally getting to experience for real what I've fed him all these years in tales and stories. I can't say that I'm not excited, in a nervous way. It's like dreaming for years about sky diving, imagining the leap, the free fall, the full understanding that once started, there is no reprieve until the end. But a part of me dreads the finality of taking that first step into free fall. Will my parachute open and save me from a horrible crash? Do I even have a parachute?
