Tammy always seemed to be left out. In school she was always the last one to be picked in kickball, never asked to dances, and did not go to her senior prom. It was not that she was ugly, no indeed, Tammy was quite ordinary looking. While she was a few pounds' overweight, it did not show until she was in a bathing suit or nude. No, Tammy's problem was simple, she lacked self confidence. This lack of confidence coupled with her plain looks meant she spent her nights at home while others went out, even with the few friends that she had. None of them kept in touch with her after graduation, though.
Paul, her brother, on the other hand was the all-American boy. He was on the football team, always had a girlfriend, and popular. However, he never let the power of being on top of the class go to his head. He always stuck up for others even against his team mates. Between his skills on and off the field he received a full ride through college for playing football. Even so, when he graduated, he turned down going pro to work in the family plumbing supply store just as he had always said he would.
Even though Paul was her brother and five years older, Tammy always thought of him as a friend first and family second. Instead of going to their parents with her problems, she would run to Paul's room and cry on his shoulder. Like a friend he would hold her and stroke her back speaking words that calmed her without it turning sexual. Even when he went off to college, she would still call him late at night and spend hours on the phone with him.
When she graduated high school, Tammy went to the local college to become an accountant. While Paul had a real choice, she was expected come home and work in the family store once she finished school. So it was no surprise that in those years that Tammy found she enjoyed playing bondage games. It all started when she was thrown in with her soon to be best friend, Betty, during her first semester.
Betty was a rebel, while the Goth scene had yet to hit the main stream; she was the first student to wander around wearing black with black nail polish. She also had her nose, tongue, and ears pierced. At first sight the pair disgusted and avoided each other. However, over the course of the first semester, they found themselves left alone while others were invited to parties. It was this being ignored that drove Betty and Tammy together. They found that underneath everything, the pair was alike. The only difference was how they coped.
It was Betty who first suggested for her and Tammy to take Tia Chi as the physical education requirement. Even though it was Betty's idea, Tammy found an inner peace from the class. Once it was over she continued to take the upper levels and found something she enjoyed. While it did not make her thin, it did get her into shape and gain confidence. It was not until that class that the roles that the pair played changed. Before, Betty would suggest something to do and Tammy would follow along like a puppy. However, as the class and her training continued, Tammy took charge of her own life and became the person who would decided what they would do.
The change was not dramatic, it happened over time and nether realized it had happened until the night that Betty took her out to a private club for her twenty first birthday. The club was a fetish and bondage bar that was having an open house for nonmembers.
Sitting in a booth, drinking rum and cokes, Betty and Tammy watched in fascination at the antics. Though Betty talked a good game, in reality she had never walked on the wild side of life. Thus it was Betty who after about a half an hour said, "Come on Tammy, let's go."
Tammy looked at her friend in surprise. She found the heavy smell of latex and leather intoxicating and watching various people being bound and punished excited her. "No, let's stay a bit more and watch."
Betty started to get up and said, "You can stay if you want girlfriend, but I'm going."
Tammy grabbed Betty's hand and looking her in the eye said softly, "No, you are staying here."
Betty felt a tingle run up her arm and broke eye contact first. Sitting down she said, "As you wish Tammy."
Both girls realized something in their friendship had changed; Tammy was coming into her own. After a while Tammy stood up with Betty following and wandered around. They found a man giving a lecture on the proper way to use the lash. When he called for volunteers she looked at Betty and smiled. The thought of the two of them, hanging side by side, while being the center of attention, sent throbs of pleasure through Tammy. When she caught Betty's eye the throbs faded. Betty looked at her with fear in her eyes, turned and fled from the club.
When Tammy caught up with her, Betty was hugging herself and shivering outside. Pulling her friend close she said, "Lets go home." Throughout the cab ride Betty clung to her and did not speak. Even once they were back in their dorm room; Betty did not speak or move for herself. It was Tammy who undressed her and tucked her into her bed. Finally, she said as she tucked the blanket around Betty's shoulders, "Talk to me baby."
Betty looked up at her and said, "My secret's out." She bit her lip as she continued, "Never really did anything and seeing that it was time to live on the edge for real I panicked." She pulled the blanket up over her head, and said with her voice muffled, "I'm sorry Tam Tam."
Tammy smiled and pulled the blanked down uncovering Betty, "That's ok baby." She stroked the tears away from her friend's eyes and continued, "Your secret's safe with me." Standing up Tammy got undressed and crawled into her own bed. Turning off the light she said, "Good night baby."
By the next day everything seemed back to normal with Betty. After spending all week dwelling on the club Tammy decided that she had to go back and experience it for herself. Thus it was Friday when she brought up the subject with Betty. Betty's reaction was a vehement "NO!" Instead of fighting or forcing her to come along, Tammy went alone.
The experience was everything she had hoped it would be. As a free slave she wandered around and offered herself to the first master she found. After sizing her up and talking to her he strung her up and over the next three hours played with her body. It was only then that he brought her to a mind blowing orgasm. There was only one fly in the ointment. When the night was over, he tried commanding her to leave with him. Tammy had school to finish and this was just a weekend entertainment for her.
When she got back to the dorm room, Betty was there waiting for her. She proudly showed off her body as she talked about what had happened during the night. When she got to the point of where the man wanted her to go home with him Betty spoke up, "No this is why it's wrong. What if he forced you to go with him? I would never be able to find you."
"Well you could always come with me," Tammy replied.
"No, as I already said, I am not going back." Betty replied.
Over the next several weeks, Tammy would go back. Each week she picked a different master or mistress to dominate her. Some were nice, some were sadistic. Some talked crap about her when she was not there. However, each night she found that she loved being the center of someone's world. There was one dominate female who always sat in a booth and never joined in the whippings or bondage games. Always there were several submissive males and females kneeling before her and waiting for her to command them.
Not seeing anyone she was attracted to, Tammy walked confidently over to the woman and kneeled before her. She rested her head on the floor for a moment before looking up. She saw that the woman was inspecting her and after a minute she looked away as if to dismiss Tammy from her presence. Tammy felt as if she had been slapped.
However, she stayed kneeling before the woman instead of getting up and walking away. Throughout the evening different dominates would walk up and with a nod from the woman take a submissive away. But, no one came to take Tammy away to play with. The once glorious feeling about being top of the world turned and curdled in her stomach like so much bad milk.
After an hour of kneeling before the woman Tammy heard her say, "Everyone leave us," while staring at Tammy. "Sit here beside me," The woman commanded once the pair was alone.
Tammy felt a quiver of excitement, she had never been invited to sit with a mistress and this must have meant she was in for a treat. As she sat down she looked at the woman in wonder. This close, the feeling of power radiated off the dominate woman like heat waves. "Why are you here child?" the woman asked in a surprisingly soft and gentle voice.
"I wish to submit," Tammy replied not able to return the woman's look.
The woman's gloved fingers took Tammy's chin and lifted it. Looking into her eyes she said, "No you don't, you wish to play at submission while being a dom." Before Tammy could do more than shake her head the woman continued, "I have watched you Tammy. Every night I have sent the best to tame you, to make you a good slave girl for a master or mistress." She looked out over the club before continuing softly, "I have failed." She looked back at Tammy and said, "For the first time, I have failed."
Tammy was dumbfounded, not only did she hear that she was being set up to be turned into a true slave. But the woman admitted that she failed. "I can try harder, please give me a chance mistress," she said just as softly as the woman.
The woman shook her head and said, "No Tammy. Go home and find yourself. Find what you really are."
