(This story was inspired by a request as well as another story I read on this site and liked. The names have been changed to protect the innocent.)
(This is a prequel to Part 1)
We all think about doing it, parking in a handicapped spot while we run in and do a quick errand. What could it hurt? Well, if the few spots are now filled up, it means someone with a disability has to park in a standard spot and hoof it to the store. Come on now, if they drive a car, how bad off can they possibly be?
Celeste Rhodes ran into the Manx Emporium for a quick errand. Things didn't work out that way as she remembered one or two other things she needed to get. Tate O'Connor had to use both an oxygen tank and a wheelchair, but he was determined to live his life on his own terms until the bitter end. That end came while he was rolling down the parking lot at the Manx Emporium when a harried mother with two kids in the car backed out of her spot a bit too fast and hit Tate, fatally injuring the frail man.
Celeste Rhodes saw the whole thing because Tate almost made it to her Handicapped spot she had taken. The Mother got out and started screaming for help. All Celeste could see was a law suit by the man's family. She got into her car quickly and sped away. She wasn't alone in witnessing the tragedy. The woman who had been in the next checkout line at the Manx Emporium was right behind Celeste. She found Celeste's reaction to be very interesting. That woman put her bags down and pulled out her phone. She snapped a quick picture as Celeste pulled away.
As Margret Lassiter drove home, she thought about what she'd witnessed. Had the woman done something wrong? Maybe wrong but she certainly acted guilty, and was most certainly vulnerable to legal action. She didn't worry much about it. A morning search of the local paper told her the man had died in the hospital from injuries suffered. Death made everything much more interesting indeed.
Now she had to find out who the woman was. She walked around her cubicle hell at was her humdrum workplace, running down the list of people who could help her, and would help her. She singled out Walt the IT guy. Getting Walt to confess he could get the information she needed was easy. The price was not so easy, but one night of stale, awkward sex would give her access to the goddess she'd seen running away. The Goddess had a name -- Celeste Rhodes - and a phone number and address. Convincing Walt that they were not 'ready to take it to the next level' was even easier. Unwanted sexual advances in the workplace could do that.
Celeste Rhodes was on face book and mentioned in the news. She had a store that sold custom upholstery. Her husband was an ad executive with what seemed to be a successful firm. Margret rode by their house and was suitably impressed. It was way beyond her price range. Margret took a chance and picked up their mail to see what she could find out. She dumped the junk mail back in the box but kept the bills. She did this for three days, burning through a few hours of comp-time each day. On day three she was rewarded. The Rhodes's were running a huge credit card debt. They may not be underwater, but the family ship wasn't in good shape.
Now that Margret knew Celeste was vulnerable, she had to decide what to do about it and what she thought she could get away with. Margret decided the first step was to find out if Celeste would play ball. Margret felt shivers go down her spin as the phone rang.
"Celeste Rhodes," the sultry voice answered.
"Hello, Ms. Rhodes, I wonder if you remember what happened last week in front of the Manx Emporium." Margret heard the sharp intake of breath.
"I'm not sure I know what you are talking about," Celeste responded nervously.
"Oh, in that case you won't mind me sharing the picture I took of you leaving the handicapped spot as Mr. O'Connor was dying. I'm sure his family would be very interested."
"Wait ... no ... he died?"
"Yes, he died at the hospital from his wounds. Maybe if you hadn't sped away from the scene, the outcome would have been different."
"Oh God ... I didn't know. I'm sorry, please believe me," Celeste pleaded.
"I was going to hand the information over to the police and let them handle the matter, but on second thought I was wondering if we could reach an accommodation."
"What do you want?" she asked nervously.
"For starters, how about a show of good faith."
"What is it?" Celeste asked.
"At twelve thirty tomorrow, go back to the Manx Emporium and by a single red silk rose and place it at the spot Mr. O'Connor died.
"What if I'm seen?" the fear creeping into her voice.
"That is a chance you will have to take," Margret commanded. She could feel Celeste faltering.
"Okay, I'll do it," Celeste agreed. "Will this be it?"
"No, this is a show of good faith on your part. I need to know you are committed to undoing the wrong you've done. At any time you choose, you can receive the judgment you have coming."
"How do I know you are acting in good faith?" Celeste asked.
"You don't. If I chose to punish you, you get punished. Whether this is private, between us, or in the public arena is up to you."
"Are you ... are you going to hurt me?" Celeste questioned fearfully. Margret had to be careful now. Running to her husband this early in the game could throw everything out of whack.
"No," Margret assured her. At least she didn't plan to do the beautiful woman any permanent harm, so that wasn't a lie.
"What happens next?"
"Let's take one step at a time, shall we?" Margret said.
Margret took the pictures of Celeste placing the rose down. The woman looked fearful, but not terrified. Margret needed that fear. Margret was thrilled with the sense of control she held over another person. She was already imaging the next phone call to Celeste.
"Celeste," Margret said the next day right about closing time for Celeste's store.
"Hello," Celeste sounded dejected.
"You did very well yesterday. I really believe we can resolve this to our mutual satisfaction."
"Thank you, but what do you mean?" Celeste asked. Margret had her a bit confused.
"Here is what I want you to do next. Tomorrow I want you to wear the skimpiest, sexiest underwear that your husband adores. If you don't pick out the right pair, I'll know," Margret lied. "If you don't do this, you know what happens."
"But ... why do you ... I mean, you are a woman," Celeste stammered.
"Yes, I am a woman. Now I want you to go to the lingerie section at Manx, go into the changing room, take out the camera you will find stuck under the seat and take several pictures of yourself in the full length mirror. Take them from different angles, so I can appreciate how beautiful you really are."
"I ... okay, I'll do it," Celeste said defeated.
"And smile; you have a very nice smile and I want to see it. Can you do that?"
"Yes," Celeste agreed softly.
Margret kept looking over Celeste in her beige lacy panties and bra on her computer. The panties were not quite a thong, but they made her ass look even more enticing. The bra was clasped in the front and barely contained her D-sized breasts. If anything it made them look even larger. Fortunately Celeste had shown great skill as a photographer, capturing several alluring angles. Margret couldn't help feeling wet and had to go into her dresser drawer to find her favorite dildo. She came in record time.
"Celeste, you have made me very happy," Margret began the next day.
"Does that mean we are done?" Celeste hoped.
"No, but you have earned a bit of forbearance. I want a tape of you masturbating. I was going to have you do it somewhere public, but I now think that would be cruel," Margret lied again. At this point in the game, there was no chance that Celeste would do that.
"Where ... what," Celeste sighed. "Where do you want me to do it?"
"Do it in your bedroom. If you don't have a camcorder, get one. Set it up so I can get a good angle. Prop yourself up so that I can see your expression as you do it. Take your time and get into it, or I will make you do this again."
