Author's Note
Risk Versus Reward is a prequel to Girl Friday and focuses on the story of Karin, the 'H.R. Lady' who provided Charlotte's rather unique interview experience when she was hired. You do not need to read Girl Friday to understand what's going on in Risk Versus Reward. But if you enjoy this story, Girl Friday should most definitely be on your reading list.
In the last chapter, Karin and Desi had decided to take it easy after their rough night at the hands of a pair of mysterious masked visitors. They ended up having a lesson in body painting with the lovely and flowy Miss Smith, and lunch in the garden with their favorite lab-coat assistant Elena. Elena provides some insight that may help Karin and Desi their masked visitors. Karin has her hopes pinned on a certain domme, but how will she hold up to the image Karin has built up in her head?
I hope you enjoy Karin's continuing story.

Chapter 11: What's New Pussy Cat?
Cats have a good life, at least I've always thought so. I mean way back in Egyptian times they were practically worshiped as deities, and the Egyptians weren't the only ones either. The Chinese had Li Shou, the cat god who protected farmers' crops, and in Poland, Ovinnik watched over domestic animals and chased away evil spirits -- and as a result the cats were well taken care of. I could totally go for that. Hell a couple weeks ago I got to stick my face in Elena's pussy after Desi painted me up like a kitty, so the idea obviously has some merit.
Yep, it's the kitty-cat life for me alright. Chase off a few evil spirits and suddenly you're sitting on a pedestal, enjoying the good life. So it really shouldn't be surprising to anyone that I decided to put on a cat ear headband and stick a matching tail up my butt for the first day of my internship. See, the main reason for my internship was to show myself off to potential dominants and really, who can say no to a cute little kitten?
The fact that outside of the ears and the furry butt-plug tail I wore nothing else but a smile seemed to fit right in with the dress code of the place, though I knew that when I applied. Figuring out who's who is easy in a place like this. The dominants were sitting at the bar or at one of the tables, either alone or in groups depending on their mood, and always fully clothed. These women in tailored suits and designer dresses, they were the ones here sizing up the dating pool. And the naked young women providing drinks and entertainment -- sometimes quiet conversation, sometimes something a little more physical -- we were sizing up the dating pool too.
I wanted to find the woman who would appreciate the way I could chase off her demons with a little wine, or a nice warm bath, or a well-timed orgasm -- just the way that submissive girl had done in the orientation video. If I could do that, I'd be destined to live like a goddess. Granted a goddess with furry ears and a tail held in with a butt plug, but a goddess nonetheless. So I took my job very seriously. When these women asked me to fetch a glass of wine I did it, and when they asked me to sit on their laps for a little conversation I did that too, even when that conversation involved a fair amount of groping -- especially when it involved a fair amount of groping.
I quickly found that I really enjoyed all the attention I received and looked forward to my evenings in the club with fondness. I even got to see Desi occasionally when our schedules overlapped, and those nights were always ripe for a good time. Word of our adventurous and playful nature had spread beyond the confines of The Academy proper and we were often sought out as a couple to put on a performance either on stage or in one of the more private rooms in the back that were reserved for faculty and VIPs. I always looked forward to those performances, because I figured that's where I'd have the best chance of meeting up with my own goddess, Miss Spiced Latte. Plus Desi had absolutely the best hands.
Unfortunately spending a lot of time at the club also meant that I really only saw Elena for waxing treatments and the occasional lunchtime rendezvous in the garden. But every time we were together it seemed like she made sure there was a happy ending involved -- every time with one notable exception. That was the visit to the spa when I held Desi's hand and watched Elena take what looked to me like the biggest, scariest piercing needle I've ever seen and push it straight through Desi's left nipple. Desi didn't look to thrilled about it as the needle was going in, and she nearly broke my fingers squeezing me so tight, but in the end she did say that she was glad she did it and even happier that it was Elena with the needle and not somebody else. She even kissed Elena on the cheek and then thanked me for coming along once she recovered enough to stand on her own two feet again.
After the horror show was over I asked Desi what made her decide to put a hole through her womanly flesh, because I had been advised that I wasn't allowed to play with it or suck on it or do anything else fun with it until it was healed and I wanted to know who it was that had the nerve to take away half of my usual evening entertainment.
"I'll give you three guesses and the first two don't count," Desi said in a sarcastic little tone that I could only forgive because I knew she was struggling with what probably amounted to a great deal of discomfort.
"The P.E. teacher from hell, Miss Nguyen?"
Desi nodded.
I rolled my eyes. "But all she ever does is torment you, Des. You really want to invite more of that?"
"It's just a mask she puts on. At home Betty is just the sweetest woman you could ever imagine. I think all she wants to do is feed me. Oh, that and fuck me 'til I can't see straight."
"At home? Jeez, you've been to her lair, Des?" I couldn't stop myself from rolling my eyes again. "And since when are you two on a first name basis anyway?"
"Relax will you? It's not like I'm moving in with her, it was just dinner." Desi had this sort of dreamy look in her eyes. "Betty makes the best bÑnh xèo I've ever tasted in my life."
"You're getting your nipple run through and risking a life of incontinence, and for what? A dinner of Vietnamese crepes? What's for dessert, squat thrusts on her strap-on?"
"Really good Vietnamese crepes, Karin." That dreamy look in Desi's eyes was getting worse by the minute. And she totally ignored my squat-thrust jab.
I had a feeling that Desi's newfound love of dinner crepes was just barely concealed subtext for her real craving, which I was beginning to understand as a big heaping helping of Mistress Nguyen's dildo in her ass. And that ring in Desi's nipple, I wouldn't be at all surprised to find out that too was a gift from the sadistic P.E. teacher, the Academy equivalent of giving a class ring to your best girl.
God, I hope the she-devil had the courtesy to sterilize it after she ripped it out of the tender flesh of her last conquest.
I was only slightly jealous. I was the cute little kitty cat, I was the one that these ladies were supposed to be dying to take home.
