"Marni, Sarah, please take off your clothes. All of them."
Miranda just sat there and looked at us as if she had simply requested that we do her a slight favor and leave our shoes at the door or something; not given us an order to disrobe completely in front of her and her personal assistant.
I could see the shocked look on Marni's face, but the order didn't surprise me at all. I was expecting it. I'd even trimmed my pubic hair for just such an eventuality. But right now, I had a more pressing need.
"Miranda . . . Ms Steele," I said tentatively. "Before we go on, would it be all right if I went to the bathroom? I've needed to go really badly ever since we landed at the airport."
As soon as the words were out of my mouth, I knew I'd made a mistake. Now Miranda had something else that she could use to manipulate me. I cursed under my breath at how stupid I'd been to let her know.
"I'm sorry, dear. This really won't take very long. I'm sure you won't mind waiting just a bit more, as we're almost finished for the night." She might have just as well said, "Hell, no," because that's exactly what I knew she meant.
Then Marni spoke up. "What about Rachel? I guess we have to do this shit for you, but is it necessary for her to see us naked, too?" I was really proud of her asserting herself like that.
"Oh, my," Miranda mocked again. "I see what you mean, dear. That would be uncomfortable for you. Let's see what we can do about that." Then she looked down at her personal assistant and said, "Rachel, please take off your clothes. I think that might make Sarah and Marni feel a little less inhibited."
And without the least bit of hesitation, Rachel stood and began to shed her clothes. Soon the lovely green silk suit was lying in a pool at her feet. I couldn't help but admire her lithe figure, as she stood there in nothing but her light green cami, matching silk thong and thigh high stockings.
In just another moment, she slipped the camisole over her head, revealing her pert breasts and rock hard nipples. As she slipped the tiny thong over her hips, lowered it and stepped out, I couldn't help but notice a large wet spot that seemed to indicate Rachel's keen interest in this interview process.
I also couldn't help but notice that her mound was cleanly shaven and quite delicious looking. I heard Marni whimper softly, apparently at the realization that she and I would be the next to shed our clothes.
For a moment, the only sounds in the room were our breathing and the hum of a far-off ventilation fan. Then Miranda broke the silence. "Rachel, please leave your lovely stockings on. I don't think Marni and Sarah will mind, will you girls?"
I didn't feel the need to even answer, as Rachel returned to her spot at Miranda's feet, apparently not at all fazed by her lack of clothing. Miranda reached down and stroked her hair a few more times, then looked up wordlessly at Marni and me. And we knew it was now our turn.
I decided I might as well make the first move, since my jeans and panties were already down around my knees, and I hoped I could also offer a little encouragement to Marni. So I lifted my wool turtleneck sweater over my head, exposing the new light blue bra I had worn especially for this moment. After wrestling the sweater over my head, I looked down and noticed that one of my nipples had poked its way out of the low-cut bra. And it was hard, very hard.
I saw Marni follow my lead and begin to unbutton her blouse, slowly at first, then faster, as she apparently decided to get it over as soon as possible. Off came the blouse and soon her denim miniskirt. Then she paused, apparently waiting for me to slip out of my tight jeans so we could do the rest together.
It took me a little longer because I had to sit down on the floor to remove my boots before the jeans could come all the way off, and I could feel Miranda's eyes on me as I struggled to free my feet from the boots. Finally, they were offβboth the boots and the jeans, and I looked up to see where Marni was in her part of this little striptease.
"What lovely boots, Sarah." It was Miranda, of course. "Did you wear them just for me, dear?" My face flushed crimson, but I said nothing, refusing to acknowledge that I had done just that. For some strange reason, I felt the need to pull my panties back up, I suppose so I could take them off again with Marni.
Now came the hard part. Almost in unison, Marni and I reached around to unclasp our bras and let them fall to the floor. The hard part wasn't standing there topless, exactly. It was standing there topless with nipples that were hard as rocks, betraying our arousal.
Finally our panties joined the bras with the rest of the clothes on the floor, and Marni and I stood totally naked in front of Miranda Steel and her very personal assistant. Just as I was wondering what would happen next, I found out.
"Sarah, dear, since you were so thoughtful to wear those boots for me, would you please put them back on so we can complete tonight's assignment."
I just looked at her for a moment, trying to read what was going on behind those dark eyes, but her expression never changed. Miranda simply sat there quite still, one leg crossed over the other, stroking Rachel's hair like she was some kind of a pet. And I guess she actually was.
In fact, it occurred to me that Marni and I were her pets, too, but we just hadn't been "tamed" quite yet. Perhaps that's what this was all about.
Giving up trying to decipher Miranda's expression, I sat down on the floor and began to pull the boots on. I found it quite difficult to do without spreading my legs in a most unladylike fashion, particularly given my state of total undress.
I stood back up, noticing that the three inch heels of the boots made me nearly as tall as Marni, who was standing there in her bare feet. In fact, she was standing there in her bare everything, looking quite lovely. Miranda and Rachel seemed to join me in admiration for Marni's voluptuous figure, her magnificent breasts so full and round, all the way down to the little auburn colored landing strip that adorned her mound.
