Chapter 8: Complete Submission
Maya felt bored doing the work. Samantha was not sitting at her side. She moved to another desk on Monday after that infamous video incident, nearly a month ago. The desk was right in front of Joe. She said that she felt uncomfortable with Joe behind her back and she wanted to keep an eye on him. That was good but the problem was that there was no fun in playing with her shoe. Whenever Joe moved his head slightly, Samantha looked at him. That meant he couldn't look at her feet with Samantha in the room. 'What a horrible predicament I'm in?' she thought, 'I have a foot boy who couldn't admire my feet.' She had a slave in the same room but couldn't use him. 'Of course, he doesn't think of himself as a slave. But he will,' she thought. That was the real hell. She was using him at her home for a month, now. She hadn't rewarded him yet. At first, she wanted to do it for a couple of days. But she noticed something wonderful, he worked harder each day. He was saying sorry a lot. She enjoyed him trying to please her. That was when she realized he was working hard because he was sorry, and wanted to impress her. So, she didn't give any other reward. She felt like she woke up to watch him struggle to please her each day.
But now she was playing with her shoes because Samantha went for a bathroom break. It was not a real shoe play as she was wearing ankle boots. She crossed her feet at her ankles, rubbing her boots against each other, and tapping a boot to the ground in a beat. She looked sideways toward Joe, he hadn't lost his concentration from her boots.
'Today, straight to my place,' she sent a text to him. She heard him shuffle, and the sound of a chair moving back. In a moment, Joe was next to her chair, kneeling of course. 'What was this idiot thinking? What if Sam walks in?' she thought.
"What?" she snapped looking down at him.
"I'm sorry, mistress. I have something I need to ask you," he said.
"What is it?" she asked.
"I walk to the office, you know. I don't have a car here. So, I wanted to know how to go to your house after the office."
"What, you couldn't think of another way?" He seemed to struggle with that thought. But his cheeks distracted her. 'Oh! Those cheeks,' she thought. She wanted to slap him so badly. Everything inside of her urged her to do that, 'Slap him, he wouldn't care. It would be his honor,' that part seemed to say. But she didn't want to slap him, saying he didn't do anything wrong. She had searched for opportunities to slap him, nothing was significant to punish him. When he didn't answer her question, she asked it again, "What?"
"Thinking is not for slaves. That's why I wanted to ask you what you want me to do," he blurted. When she said that, it was an accident. She liked it when he quoted it back to her. But now it seems it was ingrained in him. She hadn't intended it like this, but this is what she wanted. She wanted him to leave every decision about them to her. The misquote wasn't what caught her attention, the usage of the word 'slave' did.
'So, he does think of himself as a slave. Oh, this is wonderful.' She thought. She just had to be careful to make him a never disobeying plaything.
"Mistress?" he said.
"Okay, you said it. Leave the thinking to me. You concentrate on how to be a good servant" she snapped, 'Can I slap him,' she thought. If an owner can't slap a slave, then who can? He literally agreed he was her slave. 'Just slap him already,' She turned her chair to face him.
SLAP
He took her hand, kissed it, and said, "Thank you, mistress."
She increased the amount of pleasure in him. She wanted to Surge his happiness too. It left a foul taste in her mouth every time she wanted to do an emotional manipulation. She got carried away last time and it was very bad. She had mostly played with Fear and an overdose of it left the subject, paranoid even of his own shadow. She also knew that the overdose of sadness lead to depression. But happiness, she didn't know what would happen with over Surging of happiness. That was why she was reluctant to use emotional manipulation.
'I made him like this. So, I can always make another plaything. If something goes bad with Joe, I could discard him and get another one.' she thought.
Just as when she thought about it, she remembered her conversation with Joe, all those days ago. He had told her about his previous fascinations linked with feet. She then realized a fatal flaw in her original plan. She never could have brought him to this level with only her pleasure influxes. Because his brain, at least in the beginning, would have tracked back to the origin of the fetish. If the origin of the fetish was her feet, he might've suspected that she had something to do with it. Once a thought comes to the brain, it would very difficult to get rid of. So, she finally decided not to overuse the emotional manipulation on him. It was always best not to touch the emotions unless you want to destroy them to the core. If she wanted to play with emotions, she could always get someone to perform tests on them once Joe was in her complete control. 'What did he always say? Ah, Complete Submission.'
He looked into her eyes with confusion. He also looked sad. She looked into his mind and didn't know everything about what she saw. But she could tell what was happening now, Joe's mind was fighting to say something. She believed it was between still present rational part of his mind and pleasure clouded part. She felt she wouldn't hear his thought if she increased the pleasure. So, she slowly reduced the pleasure and soothed the happiness to a lower level. The conflict in his mind was over. The rational part won. He said meekly, "Have I done anything wrong, mistress?" 'He wanted to question me? Yes, his words are polite but his intention isn't,' she thought 'Aw, He looks cute when he is sad.' She wanted to slap him again.
"Nothing. Your cheeks look good in red," she put her hand on his cheek and rubbed, "So, I wanted to make you beautiful."
He seemed happy and unsatisfied at the same time. She wanted to ask him about that. That's when he turned his face to show her the other cheek and said, "Does my mistress want to make my other cheek look good?"
She smiled at his willingness to please. 'If he is behaving like this now, just imagine what you can do when he is your complete control,' she thought.
SLAP
Now, he looked satisfied. He took her hand and kissed it. "Thank you, mistress." She slapped him again on the other cheek and wanted to continue to slap more. 'Mat,' her thoughts interrupted her. She banished those thoughts because she didn't have the time or energy to think about the similarities between him and Joe.
So, she ordered, "Now, go." He felt dejected. He stood up and walked to his desk. "Hey," he turned to face her, "Today is your reward day," she said. His face radiated with hope. She wanted to tease him.
"What would you say," she said, "if I said that your reward was those slaps?"
His face didn't change, "I am happy that I pleased you. Thank you, mistress." He looked proud. 'He is not lying. He believes that.' She was impressed. She wanted to forgive him for questioning her action. But forgiving was not how you teach good manners. With reluctance, she agreed that she liked him this way too. Being happy. 'No, no. Being happy for impressing me.'
"That was not your reward. It awaits you at home," she said. He thanked her and walked away.
