14. Blackmail and Milking
Wednesday Evening
Leila was near the end of her shift, and she was in a good mood from a combination of post-orgasmic hormones and the unusually generous tips she was getting, when Tina called her into the office with a stern look. Nervously fidgeting, the bunny girl hopped into the office and took the proffered chair. Tina came around and seated herself on the front of the desk with her arms crossed under her generous chest. Looking down at her employee she said, "We need to talk about what you and Maddie were doing in the washroom just before your shift."
Blushing and mortified, Leila gazed up at Tina with her eyes wide, unable to think of anything to say. Her mouth opened and closed a few times but no sound emerged. Tina waited a little longer to see if the bunny girl would say anything then continued with, "Look, I'm not that much older than you, I haven't forgotten what it's like to be young and horny. And whatever you two have going on, I know it must be pretty new, so you're still probably in that 'can't keep your hands off each other' phase of the relationship. Now, it's none of my business who you want to fuck, but in the future you're gonna have to do it somewhere else. Another rendezvous in the bathroom and you're both fired, understood?"
Leila nodded vigorously, looking terrified. Tina got a different look in her eyes and leaned forward, saying quietly, "Now, you still need to be punished for the previous violation. So does Maddie. Since you're both working Friday night, I'll be having you both stay late to clean up. You'll be paid the normal rate for the time, but if either of you refuse you're both fired. You'll pass on the message, yes?" Still unable to speak from her fear, Leila nodded meekly and looked down at her feet.
Seeming pleased with the way the conversation was going, Tina walked back behind the desk and said, "There's one last thing we need to cover, and that's your ass. Your pussy, too, for that matter." Shocked at the vulgarity, Leila looked up at Tina's smirking face. "This is a restaurant and we can't afford to have any possible health code violations. You're not legally obligated to wear anything under normal circumstances, including many uniform requirements, but there are exceptions for personal protective equipment and for food service staff. We've let it slide up until now, but I've ordered you a new uniform that will conform to sanitary requirements. They should arrive tomorrow and I will expect you to be wearing one on each shift from here on out."
Tina passed Leila a tablet with a picture loaded on it of a woman modeling a mesh bodysuit. It left nothing to the imagination; although technically dressed, the woman's pubic hair and nipples were completely visible. Flabbergasted and appalled, Leila finally found her voice to protest, "But... I'd be basically naked!"
Tina scoffed and said, "So, people will see those giant tits of yours, big deal! You walk around here every day with your ass hanging out and your furry little muff on display! It's not sanitary! That's your new uniform and if you don't agree to it you can just not come back!"
Leila wanted to cry. She'd been raised to be a good girl, a modest girl, the kind of girl who didn't expose her breasts in public. It was hard enough to get people to look her in the face even with the slightly form-fitting blouse she had on now. She was on the point of refusing and looking for another job when Tina played her final card. "Oh, and if you don't agree, Maddie is gone, too. Can't play favorites when you both were fucking each other at work." Horrified and guilty, Leila finally caved and agreed, nodding and whimpering. "Excellent," said Tina, "Now get back to work and try not to get your cunt fur in anyone's food. And don't forget, you and Maddie, staying late Friday night." Leila scampered away as fast as she could.
Wednesday Night
Cassie was already in bed when Maddie got back from her class. It was only once a week but it was three hours, and like many of the other students Maddie often stayed later to use the studio after the life models were done posing. She'd been slacking off all week between the family stuff and the new girlfriend and all the other remote-controlled sex shenanigans, so it was almost eleven before she got back to her apartment. Thinking Leila would be home soon she sent her a sweet and sexy message, but her girlfriend hadn't replied by the time Maddie had finished her nightly rituals and gotten ready for bed. She was slightly concerned, but they were going to get together tomorrow morning anyway so she tried to not let it bother her.
Checking the remote again, which had become compulsive behavior for her at this point, she saw that it was up to 73%, suggesting that it was recharging at six points per hour since she had zapped her boss. That pretty much confirmed to Maddie that the rate was tied to the number of affected targets, although there must be some kind of time limit or something for how long that lasted since she knew the remote had been used in the past.
Maddie debated on whether or not to target one of their neighbors to use up some of the charge; it would hit maximum sometime in the wee hours of Thursday morning at this rate, and none of the current targets would be off their cool-downs until Cassie was available again Thursday evening. She hated the idea of wasting the potential energy, anticipating that third-level traits would probably cost even more than the 50 points of the second level ones, assuming the traits went that high at all. But she barely knew her neighbors and didn't know how easy it would be to monitor them, which reduced the appeal of zapping them. She thought about zapping her ex-boyfriend, who worked at a music store nearby, mostly just because she hadn't targeted a male yet and was curious what might happen.
Just after she turned out the lights Leila finally replied with a simple, 'Call me.' Worried, Maddie did so immediately. When her girlfriend answered her voice was flat and grim and rushed. "Tina found out. She saw us go into the washroom. Or come out. Maybe both. Not sure. Said she wouldn't fire us if we stayed late Friday. If either of us say no she says we're both gone."
