CEO Slut: Business Proposal
"I can't get the other night out of my head," Lily said into the phone. "As shocking as it was seeing you tied up and so helpless, I was turned on by it. I've never seen you so weak and vulnerable before. It's really got me thinking."
"We all have different sides to ourselves," Kim explained on the other end of the line. "Oftentimes, there's a public face we wear, but there's another side to us. A side that our pride., our egos, our fears, don't want to acknowledge. Yet, it's like a monster that needs to be fed. If you ignore it, you do so at your own peril."
It was Sunday morning, the day after Lily had visited Kim Barnes in her own home Kim was the CEO of Geneco where Lily worked, and was Lily was shocked to witness Kim in full submission to her Master. She struggled with the image of the powerful CEO tied up and naked, her body at the mercy of another. Lily had long admired Kim, and she aspired to be just like her. Whereas Lily was naturally shy and reserved, Kim was always strong and authoritative in the workplace. Lily was initially repulsed seeing Kim in such a weakened state, and her first instinct was to reconsider her high esteem for Kim, but Kim was able to convince her that understanding humility was necessary to understand strength. Given Kim's indisputable professional success, Lily was willing to give her the benefit of the doubt, even if she didn't fully understand the method behind the madness.
Before agreeing to continue following in Kim's footsteps, Lily made sure of one crucial detail ahead of time. Lily was much more attracted to women than men, and she had no interest in becoming another slave, even if by proxy, to Kim's Master, Nick Donovan. She agreed to follow Kim's teachings, but she made sure that Nick would not interfere in her relationship with Kim, and both Kim and Nick assured her that Nick would not interfere.
"So where does that leave me?" Lily replied. "What is my next lesson? What is the next skill I need to work on?"
"You are a curious case," Kim answered. "You are ambitious. You long to be a strong woman, and yet your nature is timid and weak. You aspire to be an alpha personality, yet in the process, you have subjugated yourself to me. Do you realize what a walking contradiction you are?"
"But that's why I came to you. Because I want to be strong like you."
"What is that one thing about you that you hide from the world? What are your deepest, darkest desires?" Kim asked over the phone line.
"Is that really necessary?" Lily protested.
"Of course. There can be no secrets between us. You have already seen mine. You know that I am really a submissive. I am trusting you with my secret. We have a special relationship, and if you want me to be able to help you, then you need to fully trust me, as well."
Lily closed her eyes and carefully considered her options before answering. "I like women," she finally revealed. "But you already knew that about me. The truth is, I enjoy sex, although I'm scared to admit it. Until recently, I've been more asexual than anything else, although I prefer women to men.
"In order to grow, you have to confront your fears," Kim explained. "You have to embrace your secret desires. You're a sexual woman. There's no shame in that. Why should you hide it?
"Because I can't act that way in the corporate world," Lily countered. "You, of all people, should know that."
