In this part, I try to tell the story from Sheila's POV. Same characters, just narrated by Sheila.
---------------------------------------
I was sitting in the break room looking at my banking app. Too many bills. Not enough money. I loved what I did as a massage therapist, but you would never get rich at it. Tim walked in and he saw the disgusted look on my face.
"What's up?" he asked.
"Usual. Broke."
"Ugh. Sorry."
I laughed.
"I could really use another of those parties we went to," I said.
Tim didn't reply and I looked at him. He was obviously thinking about saying something. I raised an eyebrow.
"Well.......if you're serious."
I started to say I was just joking, but the two grand I got at the party had helped a lot. Could I do that again? I had thought it was a once in a lifetime experience. Someone else walked into the break room and we couldn't continue. We each had clients anyway. I thought about it while I worked. It was kind of fun, if you didn't mind watching your BFF get fucked in a set of stocks, and the money really helped. I hung around after my last client till Tim was done and suggested we get coffee. Once we were seated and had our drinks, I jumped into it.
"Is there a party coming up?" I asked.
"There is an auction. I don't know if I can get us in. Do you want me to try?"
"What's an auction?"
"I got to work at one as a server. Drinks and things. I didn't get to play. But it is very discreet and high end."
"But what is the auction part?"
"Rich people come and buy entertainment. Dommes and subs go on the auction block and people bid for what is on offer. Sometimes it's a session from a domme or a session to punish a slave. Sometimes it is to watch a scene put on by a top and bottom."
"I definitely don't want to be played with. Or play with anyone else," I said.
Tim nodded.
"Yeah, I agree. We could offer a scene. You could be the Domina and you could dominate me for someone's entertainment. I know there are people who just want to watch."
I thought for a long time. Last time I just led Tim on a leash and we watched others play. This would be more.
"I am so tempted. I could use the money, but I don't know if I could pull off be a dominatrix. I don't know anything about it. Just what I saw at the party."
"If you want me to try, I'll contact some people and see if we can get an invite. I was thinking of going as a server again anyway. If we can get invited to the auction, we could come up with a list of things you could do. You could just have a preplanned scenario to offer."
"I can't believe I am thinking about being my bestie's dominatrix," I said.
"Life is weird," Tim said laughing.
"Ok. Let's try," I said.
I got a text from Tim two days later.
'we are in. next Saturday'
I gulped a little. I had said yes, but I half expected it not to happen.
'okay. Great. What next?' I texted.
'we should get together and decide what you can do.'
We were both off on Saturdays so I would go to Tim's house and we would go over all his toys. I took a selection of clothes from my closet. I didn't have anything specific for this, but I took anything that was black and hot. Tim let me in and offered me iced tea. He could tell I was nervous. He was too.
"Well. We should figure out what we want to do since we are committed," Tim said.
I nodded.
"I think if we should do something like at the last party. You dress up as the Top and keep me leashed and collared for the cocktail party. Then for the auction we offer a one or two hour scene. We can go over the toys that I have and pick what you feel comfortable with."
"Cocktail party?" I asked.
"Yep. The first part is just social. You'll have to circulate and socialize. Let people get to know you or ask questions about what you are offering at the auction."
"Oh my god. I don't know if I could do that. I thought I could do the auction, but I can't pull off being a Pro Dominatrix like that."
"You don't have to. Just be yourself. Have fun."
"And you circulate with me?"
"If you want. You can have me help serve or keep me with you. Whatever you want. You're the boss, remember."
"I'm definitely keeping you with me. What are you going to be wearing?"
"Same as last time. Collar, cage and leash."
"Let's look at the toys," I said.
We went into Tim's dining room. His table was covered in things. Some were obvious, like paddles. Others weren't. Tim told me what each thing was and how to use it. We decided on taking mainly sensation toys. Floggers, paddles, clothes pins, Wartenburg wheels, et cetera.
