That afternoon, Kara called me into my room where she had laid out ten pairs of panties of different colors.
I looked at them and then back at her. She explained calmly, "Michelle, I bought you these as a gift, a symbol of the new self I think you need to become." She paused to gauge my reaction. "I want you to wear these, as a sign of your acceptance of living as a new, transformed self, of living under my rules. Can you do that sweetie?"
My face was red with both embarrassment and arousal. I met her eyes and nodded slowly.
"Good girl."
I looked back down at the panties, somewhat reluctantly. She put a hand on my shoulder and said, "Listen, there's probably a part of your brain that is telling you to run, telling you to escape the things I'm doing to you, the things I'm going to make your do."
I gulped audibly as she continued.
"But there's another part of your brain that wants this. That feels the pleasure of submitting to me, of living in the shadow of my power, of enjoying being small and weak. That's the pleasure you feel when you look at me, when you think of how much I've grown, and how much you haven't. When you think of my height and my muscles and my confidence and a little part of you shivers inside. That's the part I want to help grow, Michelle. Do you understand?"
"Yes, yes, Kara." I said weakly.
"I've read the stories you keep going back to, Michelle. The stories of a wife overpowering a husband in bed -- fucking him like he's the girl, of a sister stronger than a brother -- taking over the household, or a fit, muscular female CEO with her weak, male secretary -- the one where she marries him and fucks him with a strapon on their honeymoon. You love those, don't you?"
My face was red and I averted my gaze, "I ... I don't know Kara. It's just fantasy. I don't know if I really want that."
She smiled and placed her thumb under my chin, raising it to look at her eyes. Her gaze cut through me and I felt both weak in my knees and a growing erection.
"Exactly. You don't know. So let me see how it feels when we explore that together. Let's see what kinds of submission works for you, and how much you like being my agreeable, submissive girl roomie."
"Putting on these panties will be an important symbol for you to agree that you'll be guided by me. I think we can both acknowledge that manhood hasn't really worked out for you, has it? You're kind of directionless, adrift, and, to be honest, just too weak."
She wrapped one of her powerful hands around my thin arms and squeezed it firmly. "I think you're definitely the girlier one in the house sweetie." She continued, "And when I took your computer away and gave you instructions on how to live, it improved your life, didn't it?"
I nodded silently.
"You need more of that sweetie. More of my firm hand directing you." She continued, "It will be so good for you, Michelle. To have me guide you, to help you turn your life around. You'll learn to look to me for guidance and direction."
"So go ahead, put your panties on." As she said this she released my arm.
"Now?" I asked.
"Yes, now."
"Can I have some privacy at least?"
She furrowed her brow at me, "No. This is an important moment for both of us, of you accepting my rules, and I'm going to be here for it. Now, do as I say." She spoke firmly and directly.
I slowly slid off my pants, and then my boxers. I tried to turn my body away from her but she grabbed my shoulder with a strong arm and turned me around, "Don't you hide from me!" and she looked down at my penis dangling between my legs.
"Well you're not all girl... you have a nice cock, Michelle. You shouldn't be shy about it."
Something about being naked in front of Kara and appraised by by her was turning me on
"Now, get dressed."
I reached for a pair of pink panties closest to me and pulled them up my legs. I reached for my pants before she stopped me.
"Hold on. Let me see you." I turned towards her. "Please spin around."
I did as she instructed and saw she was smiling at me. "Very good. You're already learning to follow my instructions. I also wondered which color you would pick -- pink tells me that you really are a girl underneath all of the male exterior. That you're trying to subtly not just accept, but love, your new girlie self."
I replied, "Well I didn't really have a choice did I?"
"You always have a choice. But you're obedient, Michelle. In your heart, I just know you want a strong woman to tell you what to do. And so when I command, you obey. Isn't that right?"
I didn't reply.
"I said, Isn't that right Michelle?"
"Yes, Kara."
