From that point on, Karen felt like she was in a dream. When she stood up her eyes briefly met those of the bartender, a middle-aged blonde whose expression was professionally neutral. Then she looked around the bar, momentarily paranoid that one of her co-workers might have seen what just transpired. But the bar was almost empty, and none of the few faces looked familiar.
It was quiet in the lobby, too, as she made her way to the elevator. For a moment she couldn't remember the room number she'd been given, and felt both disappointment and a touch of relief. But then it popped into her head and she pressed the appropriate button. As she waited for the elevator she took stock of herself. Her heart was racing, but in an excited way, not a panicky one; she felt a peculiar but pleasant tingle between her legs; and a downward glance confirmed that her nipples were clearly visible through her blouse.
Stepping into the elevator, Karen studied herself in the mirror opposite. She looked good, she thought. She had nice hair and a pretty face, and she kept herself in good physical shape. Her outfit — beige blouse and dark blue skirt — showed off her curves without being overly suggestive. And sure, maybe she was just your average Midwestern wife and mother; but her she was on her way to an assignation with two mysterious women. She smiled at herself in the mirror.
At the door of the suite Karen almost lost her nerve. She could turn around now and go back to her room, and her life would carry on just as it was. Once she stepped through that door, things might never be the same. But wasn't that what she wanted? She took a deep breath and rapped her knuckles on the door.
A few seconds later it swung open and Alexis White appeared. Her hair was down but otherwise she looked just as she had before: stern but serene, formidable but feminine. In that moment Karen's last iota of resistance crumbled; she was going ahead with this, whatever it turned out to be.
Without a word Miss White took Karen by the hand and together they walked to the living room of the suite, where Jodie was kneeling on the floor, naked except for her collar. Karen took her whole body in at a glance: the firm, rounded breasts; the stiff pink nipples; the triangle of dark brown pubic curls. Suddenly it all seemed real in a way it hadn't before. Karen's breath became constricted and uncertain, but at the same time she was turned on in a way that felt entirely new; she felt a powerful surge of raw, animal lust that took her by surprise.
Jodie wasn't wearing her glasses, so anything more than a few feet away was a blur. But even as Karen came closer, Jodie purposely didn't look up. She was perfectly content in her submissive pose, happy to be used in whatever way Miss White wanted to use her.
Miss White sat Karen down and pressed a glass into her hand. Karen accepted it gratefully and took a big drink to calm her nerves, feeling suddenly self-conscious in this unfamiliar setting. Miss White sat down a few feet away and there was a long, charged moment where no one said or did anything. Soft music was playing, and in the dimness of the room the lights of the city felt very close. Though she'd been told she wouldn't have to do anything, Karen wondered if something was expected of her.
But then Miss White nodded to Jodie, who stood and crossed to where Karen was sitting. Next thing she knew Karen had a naked girl sitting in her lap. Jodie wrapped an arm around Karen's neck and Karen breathed in the younger woman's sweet, fresh, yet musky odor, along with traces of soap and baby powder and just a hint of what she recognized as the scent of female arousal.
Jodie leaned down and pressed her soft lips against Karen's. This was a new experience for Karen, a firm but tender kiss with no hint of stubble or roughness. For the first time Karen began to get a sense of the possibilities inherent in this new experience. Without really realizing she was doing it, she reached one hand out to cup Jodie's breast while the other slid down the younger woman's flank. Now they were kissing deeply, passionately; one of Karen's hands squeezed Jodie's nipple between two fingers as the other squeezed the soft flesh of her rear end.
Miss White looked on happily, sipping her wine and drinking in every little detail. Karen was moaning softly as Jodie kissed her ear, then licked and nibbled down her neck. Jodie's legs were slightly agape and Miss White could see that her pussy was glistening wet; most likely she was dripping juice on Karen's skirt. The thought of it brought a depraved smile to Miss White's face.
