1 In the lair of Seductress
"You have such a lovely house, Sabrina," Mandy commented as she entered the front door the next morning.
"Why, thank you! Come in."
Sabrina was wearing a semi-transparent camisole and underneath a tiny bikini. For her 40 or so years, her body was athletic and youthful. At the same time, she had an aura of elegance and mystique that was uncommon.
"Come with me, we shall sit out the sunroom," Sabrina said. "Oh, and did you bring the little gift that I gave to you yesterday?"
"Umm, yes. Although, I don't understand," she pauses and made a bewildered facial expression. "Why did you give me a dog collar?"
"Oh don't worry about that now," Sabrina dismissed any further conversation of the topic.
Mandy didn't want to push the issue.
At this moment, Sabrina took Mandy's hand and led her to the back. This openness made Mandy uneasy. However, she could not deny that she was attracted to Sabrina and was elated with her touch. She tried to convince herself otherwise. But, it was hardly worth denying that she was physically attracted to everything about Sabrina - and this perplexed her.
For a moment, Mandy observed Sabrina as she turned around. From behind, she saw that Sabrina's micro bikini made her look naked. The bikini bottom consisted of a thin transparent chord that ran up the crevice of her ass making the lips of her vagina completely visible. As she walked, the chord would slip in and out of her sensual folds.
They entered into the sunroom that overlooked the garden and pool area in the back of the house. The room was large with glass french doors on all sides that opened to the patio. High vault ceiling made of mahogany wood formed a central arch, from which a modern steel chandelier hung from its apex. With walls that were almost entirely glass, the patio seemed like part of the sunroom. It was covered with a lush garden of tropical plants and trees. The sensation inside was like being in the middle of a tropical forest. The pool was elevated from the patio. Other parts of the garden had multiple levels allowing for an intricate system of running waterfalls, that added to the aural immersion of a natural rain forest.
The decoration of the sunroom was minimalistic and modern with beige sofas. Nonetheless, it had an African leitmotif, consisting of many large exotic animal statues around the room that evoked the sensation of a safari. There was a large central carpet and vases reminiscent of ancient magical mysticisms.
"What beautiful sculptures," Mandy commented. "And I love the sculpture of the lion."
She was referring to the life-size sculpture of a lion off to the left corner of the room. It seemed to be carved from a block of rich dark wood, but its features had remarkable detail and portrayed an animal that was both docile and of refined wisdom.
"Oh, these are my loyal subjects," Sabrina answered with a frown. "I love them. They make me feel so safe." She paused and then continued oddly, "I obtained them several years ago on safari."
Sabrina sat elegantly on the sofa. Mandy sat next to her. In front of them was a glass coffee table that had been set up with tea, biscuits, and a bouquet of flowers. She poured tea into the two gold-rimmed china teacups.
"Would you like sugar?" she asked Mandy.
"Yes, please."
"Here, please try these biscuits as well. I made them this morning," while placing a few biscuits on the plate next to her.
Mandy tried one of the biscuits. It had the same unique taste as the pastry from the previous day.
"So Mandy, tell me about yourself. Are you working?"
"Well, I am actually working on my doctoral thesis in computer science, so I can work from home."
"Oh, that is interesting. I am terrible with new technologies," she said. "And your husband?"
"Ryan. Oh yes, Ryan. We have just married a few months ago. He just got a job close to here. That is why we bought this house," Mandy said slightly bashful but with an innocent smile.
"How about you?" Mandy asks.
"Well, I am a writer," Sabrina says. "My real name is Kirka. Well, it is a strange name, but it is from my Croatian grandmother. But everybody always called me Sabrina," she smiled and put her tea down on the table. "Do you know who Kirka was?" she asked
"Why no."
"In Greek mythology, she was a Seductress, a sorceress that made secret potions."
"Oh my! How interesting! It is so cool to have a name with such an interesting past. What type of potions did she make?"
"She made potions that would charm people - enchant them with her beauty - or she would turn her enemies into wild animals and exotic beasts."
Mandy was transfixed by what Sabrina was telling her.
"Is this why you have all these exotic animal sculptures here?" Mandy asked jokingly.
Sabrina looked at her and frowned, but did not answer her.
"She was known to change those who resisted her sexual advances into monsters. Circe, as she is known from the Latin translations or Kirka in ancient Greek and Croatian - was also considered the archetype of the predatory female. Some say she was a sorceress that conjured the supernatural. They say that she made aphrodisiacs from her own body fluids that would enhance or mold the sexuality of her victims to her lurid will."
"Wow! That is so cool!! I wouldn't like her to use a secret potion on me," Mandy giggled quite unsuspectingly.
"Yes, well we shall see," Sabrina said facetiously with a sardonic grin.
"So, is that what you write about? Sorcery and witchcraft? I love stories about witches."
"Well...no," she pauses. "I write erotic stories. Mostly stories about bi-curious women and lesbian sex. But, I also write about femdom, bondage, and other fetishes. Things that I fantasize about and that turn me on sexually," replied Sabrina.
Sabrina placed her hand on Mandy's bare leg and looked into her eyes. Mandy flushed. She didn't know what was coming over her, but she had a deep desire to be kissed by Sabrina. Maybe it was all this insinuating talk of sex, but she noticed her body was aroused. She tried to dismiss her desires and not give in. Besides, this was crazy, she was married. She was not a lesbian. But, at the same time, she was so attracted to Sabrina.
"That sounds...," she said, as she searched for words fighting the distraction of Sabrina's hand moving up her leg, "Interesting".
Sabrina lets out a giggle and said, "Yeah, that's one way to say it, silly."
Her hand moved up and under the hem of Mandy's short sundress, and over her panty covered crotch.
