September 17
"Hi, Mrs. Walker. My mom said that you wanted to interview me," dark-haired, leggy eighteen year old Samantha Barker said, as she stood at the perfume researcher's front door.
"Hello, Samantha. Welcome, and please come in," Mary Walker said, standing aside to allow the cute eighteen year old brunette to enter. The older woman was wearing a synthetic silk dress that swirled nicely around her knees as she walked. "Oh, and it's Miz or Miss, but really I prefer Mary."
"I was kinda confused at first. I thought that you'd want me to come in to the building where my dad's office is..."
Samantha's guileless look gave Mary a small pang in her heart - not of regret at deceiving Samantha, but rather a thrill of excitement at the opportunity to corrupt the young girl. The first stage of her change had been completed by her mother - now the job would be finished.
"Yes, well, I must apologize. This isn't just an interview tonight..." Mary looked sheepish.
"It's not?" Samantha asked.
"No," Mary said, and laughed. "I wanted to get your thoughts on several fragrances we're looking at, and, to be honest, I try to work from home when I can. It's just easier for me, and I find that interviews go, uh, better."
"Oh...that makes sense," Samantha said. She followed Mary into the living room of her chic apartment.
"That's a lovely blouse, Samantha," Mary said, taking the cotton fabric of the short sleeve between thumb and forefinger. "If you don't mind my saying so, it shows your body off very nicely."
"Thank you," Samantha replied, her cheeks coloring slightly. She was disconcerted, as usual, at being complimented - some people just aren't good at it, but even more so to find that she found the idea of Ms. Walker commenting on her body...well, interesting.
"I think your dress is lovely," the cute teen added.
"Would you like some water?" Mary asked. "I'd offer you something stronger, but I find that water helps the testers keep the fragrances straight in their heads."
"Oh, sure," Samantha replied.
At Mary's nod, Samantha sat on one side of a linen color fabric-covered loveseat, patting down her knee-length denim skirt to straighten it out. Modest girls do that.
The short-haired blonde woman returned with the teen's glass of water and ice, then left and returned with a battered leather case that she set on the coffee table in front of the girl.
"I don't want to overload your senses," Mary said "- at least not your olfactory sense." She giggled.
Thinking that must be some kind of perfume researcher joke, Samantha laughed politely.
"I've got five samples for you, and as you smell each one, I'd appreciate the first thought that comes into your head, okay?"
"Sure," Samantha said.
Mary dabbed a piece of blotting paper with an eye dropper from the first small bottle, and then held it up to Samantha's nose. "Tell me what you think," she reminded the girl.
"Oh, that's the perfume my mom sprayed me with the other night. I love it. It seems, I don't know, kind of fresh but also kind of...sexy." She looked at Mary in some confusion. "Although I'm really not an expert on sexy!"
"I understand," Mary said. "But I know what you mean, here-"
Mary sat down on the loveseat next to the girl, and brought her face to Samantha's. At first, the girl thought that the attractive older woman was going to kiss her, and was momentarily frozen in confusion, then realized that Mary wanted the girl to smell her throat, which she did.
As she sniffed, the temptation to kiss the woman's throat was almost overwhelming, but Samantha fought it off.
"Where did that come from?" Samantha wondered.
Pulling back, Mary looked into Samantha's eyes, her blue eyes seeming soft and warm to the girl.
"See, I wear it now too, even though it hasn't yet come out," the woman's eyes lingered on Samantha's, and then she patted the girl's hand.
"Well, let's try the others, shall we?" Mary said, in a more business-like manner, putting the first sample away.
"What do you call that first one?" Samantha asked. "I might want to buy it."
"Oh, that one's called 'Suddenly I C'," Mary answered.
"Oh, my!" Samantha exclaimed. "That's the name I gave to my dad for one of the fragrances - well, 'Suddenly' anyway. But that's cute, it sounds just like that song that came out when I was a little girl!"
"Yeah, funny you should mention the song, we'll be using it in our ad campaign. The lyrics sound like a girl discovering a whole new world that she never knew existed. It works on a number of levels."
Samantha felt that she had to correct her previous statement. "Well, I say that I gave it to my dad, but really, my mom thought of it and told me to suggest it to my dad. When he got so excited about it, I kinda liked taking the credit."
"Well, that will be our little secret - and your mom's, okay?" Mary said, and then impulsively leaned forward and this time she did kiss Samantha softly, on her cheek.
When she pulled away, she saw that Samantha's eyes were closed, and her breathing was slightly ragged. She leaned in again, and kissed Samantha's cheek again, her lips lingering this time, her breath humid and warm on the young girl's smooth and soft skin. Samantha made no objection to feeling the woman's lips on her, no effort to pull away.
The woman finally pulled away after lingering in contact with the teenager for long seconds, and looked into Samantha's brown eyes. The girl's eyes were now open and on hers, soft and slightly unfocused, then her eyes dropped to the woman's lips, full and red with lipstick, seemingly transfixed by the symbolic representation of a woman's genital charms so close to her own mouth.
"Your lips," the girl murmured, as she raised her eyes again to Mary's.
The woman chuckled. "It's my lipstick, it's called 'Seduction." Then she brought her lips to Samantha's, gently pressing them against the young girl's, their mouths meeting like the collision of continents, heat and moisture of the older woman's breath mingling with the teen girl's, bold tongue reaching out for shy, and by its touching making the shy bolder, the two dancing together joyfully.
Samantha felt her center of consciousness moving, from her eyes to her lips. Every sensation she felt stemmed from the pressure and motion between her and Mary at those two points, female lips, as well as the stroking and caresses of Mary's tongue on hers. Mary's mouth on hers became the only reality that she knew, as the woman and girl tenderly, then passionately, kissed, swapping saliva, breath and ultimately, emotions and passion.
Samantha felt a strong stirring in what she thought was the pit of her stomach, and then realized it was in fact her tender, tiny, pink clitoris. The shock of that realization snapped her out of her embrace with Mary.
"No...no, I can't, I..." She didn't know what she should say. She knew that she was enjoying the feel of Mary's mouth against hers, of being excited by another woman - and of exciting another woman. But she knew that it was supposed to be wrong. Reluctantly, she pulled away from Mary.
Mary didn't appear at all ruffled.
"A woman's perfume, her lipstick, how she tilts her head - these are all things that we use to seduce our man. That's why I think you'll be perfect for the perfume industry - you understand how our product fits into that formula..."
"You mean, that...that kiss...you were just showing me how, um, makeup and such has appeal to people?" Samantha was grasping at any straw she could find, in hopes that Mary wouldn't think that she was some kind of lesbian pervert.
