I want to tell you a story, and it's all true except for the parts I made up.
I have a friend named Lucy. And Lucy is a bit of a tease. Actually, that's an understatement. Lucy is the queen of all teases. If there was a goddess of teasing they'd just put up statues of Lucy in her temple and call it good. She teases like fish swim and birds fly. Effortlessly. Naturally. Gracefully. And watching her at work is magical, but don't tell her I said so. She'd like it too much.
She also has a girlfriend who she calls Mouse. A sweet, submissive little thing you'd never guess was into anything kinky at all. I wasn't there when Lucy met Mouse, but she told me the story. And Lucy tells stories for only one reason.
Because. She. Wants. To. Tease. The. Fuck. Out. Of. Someone.
She called me on my lunch break at work. And the second I saw her name appear on my phone I should've turned my phone off, and then smashed it with a hammer, and then dropped the remaining fragments into a volcano. I didn't, of course, because I'm a glutton for punishment, and Lucy knows it, the tease. So I answered.
"Hello," I said.
"Hell-loooo sweetness!" Lucy said, sounding entirely too cheerful and happy. "Is now a bad time?"
"Little bit," I say, knowing she knows the answer. "I'm on lunch. Due back in forty minutes or so."
"Oh, then it's the perfect time," she exclaims, delightedly. "Because what I want to do is tease the fuck out of you when you can't do anything about it!"
"I hate you," I say, trying not to show anything on my face. The lunch area isn't crowded, but there are enough people around that I have to stay at least a little professional.
"Oh, darling," Lucy says, clearly happy at the response, "you say the sweetest things. Now let's get started. I want to tell you about my sub. She's the sweetest, kindest, politest little thing you'd ever hope to meet, and if you did meet her you'd think she was the most prudish variety of vanilla ever. And the truth is she's the single kinkiest little thing that ever walked the face of this earth. Purely submissive, too, and she loves it. And when she really wants to be dominated, do you know what she does? She doesn't act out, she doesn't disobey, she doesn't pretend to be a brat. She just gets sweeter and more polite and sweeter and more polite and sweeter and more polite until she'd make a courtesy teacher barf rainbows. And the more desperately sweet and polite she gets the more she's saying one little thing: Fuck. My. Brains. Out. And. Don't. Stop."
"Um," I say, swallowing hard, glancing desperately around the lunchroom. Nobody in particular has noticed my blush yet, which is amazing because it's so bright it's probably visible from space. A coworker happens to catch my gaze, waves happily at me, then goes back to her lunch.
"And she's kinky," Lucy continues gleefully. "She likes to be tied up and she likes to be spanked and she likes to be punished and she likes to be gagged and she likes toys used everywhere. Creative punishments. Even worse pleasures. Teasing her senseless. She likes it when I do that. Especially if I spank her first. Or throughout. And she will never, ever, ever complain or say something rude. I've never even heard her swear. One time I told her I was going to spank her until she said 'fuck' and my hand wore out before it happened. That's okay, though. I'm pretty sure she enjoyed it. Especially with the vibrator making her cum over and over and over again. I'd have broken down and begged for mercy but all she did was get more and more polite and sweet. I'd have sworn bloody blue murder and she was just purring like a kitten. Well, when she wasn't busy cumming."
"Erk," I say, crossing my legs, trying desperately not to look like I'm trying to hide an erection, which is hard since that's exactly what I'm trying to do.
"I'm a lucky, lucky girl," Lucy giggles. "Because there's some nights when I just want to make someone cum over and over again until they lose their damn mind. And I'd like to tell you a story about a night like that. Or would hearing that story be...inappropriate?"
"Have you ever not been inappropriate?" I ask, looking around, debating about leaving the lunchroom but it would look strange and, anyway, walking would be a bit of an issue right now.
"Only by accident," Lucy says. "But don't worry if it's been a little blush-worthy so far. It's about to get much, much worse!"
"Oh no," I say, looking down, trying not to meet anyone's gaze.
"Oh yesssssss," Lucy says. "Because it's not a proper story if it doesn't make someone blush. Mouse certainly blushes. That's what I call her. Mouse, I mean. Her real name is Chastity, and when you give a girl a name like that and then raise her to be completely repressed you wind up creating a sexual volcano just waiting to go off. And I want to tell you how I met my sweet little Mouse."
I pull out some paperwork, make a show of studying it intently just to try to avoid meeting my coworkers' gaze, hoping I'm pulling off a passable imitation of a man studying on his lunch break, knowing that I'm failing.
"There was this little theater," Lucy says, "that would show really campy and mildly sexy movies every Tuesday night. Rocky Horror Picture Show, that kind of thing. Nothing too explicit, nothing too scandalous, just campy fun. And those nights started getting known for people going dressed up in very light bondage gear. Nothing outrageous, no ball gags, no assless chaps, just...the kinds of things you could wear on the street but that'd be just a little risque. Lots of leather, lots of piercings, lots of cleavage on full display. And also those nights started getting known to the local churches. They didn't denounce them or anything, it'd just look too silly to come down on late-night showings of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert, but some of the more daring members of those places would show up. And they'd tell themselves it was a test of faith or something or other, but you know what? A lot of them came because they liked it. They were into camp and into bondage and into sex and they couldn't actually be into those things openly and so they'd tell themselves they were here to save souls. And some of them would try in the afterparties in the theater restaurant, and some of them would let themselves be corrupted for a night or two and then run right back to church on Sunday and confess. It was all cheerful, harmless fun, and both sides were a little in on it."
"I went," Lucy continues, "because I like campy movies and I like dressing up and I like teasing and I had friends who liked to go and it was fun to see them all dressed up, but I never really looked for love there. Who wants to fall into bed with someone who's going to be ashamed in the morning? I want to fall into bed with someone who's going to wake me up with her head between my legs and her fingers doing inventive things to my body and who already has me tied to the bed. I don't want to corrupt an innocent, I want to find someone corrupted and have a mutual corruption contest. But Mouse...was different. Mouse was special."
