"You're early!" Aimee said as she pulled the door open. She wasn't fully dressed yet, but Aimee wasn't particularly bothered about Joanna seeing her in nothing but her bra and panties. They'd been dating for three months now, plenty of time to lose any lingering body-shyness, and Aimee certainly knew that Joan didn't mind. To put it mildly.
"I wanted to surprise you," Joanna said, stepping inside and letting the door close behind her. She sounded amazingly calm, under the circumstances, and Aimee had a thought for just a moment that she was going to get away without any consequences for the little game she'd played with her girlfriend a few hours earlier.
Joanna pulled a single red rose from behind her back and handed it to Aimee. "Surprise," she said with a tiny smirk on her face. It was a smirk that told Aimee that consequences were definitely coming, even if she didn't yet know exactly when or how. It was also a smirk that told Aimee that Joanna knew perfectly well what kind of consequences Aimee was hoping to provoke, and that she had every intention of making sure that Aimee got more than she bargained for.
Aimee gulped a little, wondering if she might have gotten in over her head just a bit. "Thank you," she said cautiously, waiting for the other shoe to drop, "but we haven't even finished talking about where we want to have dinner, and-"
"Oh, there's a lot of things we haven't finished talking about," Joanna said, doffing her coat and tossing it onto the easy chair. "For instance, we haven't finished talking about this afternoon. And a few things that a very naughty girl said to me while I was at work and couldn't properly respond."
"Oh, that?" Aimee felt her grip on the rose tighten, suddenly very grateful that the stem had no thorns. "I thought you might have forgotten about that already."
Joanna smiled a dangerous smile and sat down in the chair. "Did you really? And which particular part did you think that I might have forgotten? The part where you texted me and said you hadn't even gotten dressed yet? Or perhaps the bit where you said you were, and I quote, 'bored and hazy as fuck' and teasing yourself through your panties?"
Aimee put the rose up to her face, hoping vainly that Joanna might mistake her blush for protective coloration. "I just thought you might, um...be curious. About what I was up to."
Joanna quirked an eyebrow. "So your messages were purely informative, then. Like a weather report. You were just letting me know about...localized tropical conditions in your immediate vicinity...and it wasn't at all an attempt to get me all hot and bothered in a situation where you knew perfectly well that I wouldn't be able to do anything about it."
Aimee squirmed just a little, feeling slightly exposed in her underwear. It wasn't that she wasn't enjoying this-she had, after all, spent a considerable amount of her day hoping to evoke exactly this kind of 'revenge' on Joanna's part. But she'd expected to be having this conversation out at dinner, where she could play the innocent without having a damp patch on her Supergirl panties (right over the shield, too) giving the lie to everything she said.
She took a deep breath, savoring the sweet scent of the flower as she did so, and said, "Well, I wouldn't go quite that far...but I did just think you might enjoy hearing about what I was doing. I certainly didn't have any kind of, of nefarious intent." She struggled to keep a straight face at the words 'nefarious intent', but luckily the rose hid the little twitch at the corner of her lips.
Joanna just kept smiling that same calm, friendly, unbelievably sinister smile and said, "So when I said that you sounded like a bratty little girl who was looking for a punishment, that was totally unexpected to you? A bolt from the blue on a clear day?" Aimee could tell that Joanna was enjoying this-her nipples were tenting the little black dress she wore like the room was about twenty degrees colder than the thermostat indicated-but worryingly, she sounded like she had that arousal under perfect control.
Aimee paused for a moment to collect her thoughts, pretending to take another sniff of the rose's sweet perfume before she continued. "Well, I...it was a bit of a surprise, yes. It caught me off-guard, you see. I'm sure that's why I responded the way I did. I just, um...wasn't thinking clearly." She didn't feel like she was thinking very clearly now, either-the heat in her pussy was absolutely scorching, and she already felt a delicious haze of arousal fogging up her mind-but she knew better than to let Joanna know about that right now.
Joanna leaned back in the chair and put one leg up, drawing Aimee's attention to the way her skirt revealed her thighs and concealed...Aimee's mouth watered and her breathing quickened. "So when you said that you didn't think I 'had the nerve' to punish you properly, it was an accident. A little slip of the tongue. Not to be taken seriously."
"Just, um...yes, tongue." Aimee felt the words tumble out of her mouth, thick and clumsy on her lips. She knew Joanna was doing something to her, something beyond simply teasing her with possible punishments yet to come, but she couldn't think of what. Her mind was simply too foggy, too thick with sweet floral mist swirling into her lungs and drifting up into her brain and swamping her thoughts with deep, soft, rosy clouds. She gasped for breath, suddenly aware that all she was doing was inhaling more of that same scent. "I just, I...oh fuck, can't think..."
"Remember the roses, Aimee?" Joanna asked. The coaxing, hypnotic purr in her voice seemed to thicken the fog in Aimee's mind, but at the same time it made some things so much clearer to her. There were things hidden in the mist, things that Aimee only remembered when she breathed in the sweet scent of her favorite flower and let her waking mind relax. It felt so good to let her waking mind forget, and it felt so good to let the memories send her even deeper into Joanna's flowertrance.
"I remember," she said, sitting down heavily on the thick carpet as her legs suddenly decided it wasn't worth the effort of supporting her anymore. Her body splayed out loosely on the floor, feeling impossibly heavy as the scent of the roses filled her mind. There weren't always real roses, she remembered. Mistress didn't need real roses to send Aimee into the flowertrance, just like real roses never sent Aimee into the fog without Mistress's permission. But when Mistress gave her a real rose, it always felt so powerful. Overpowering. Aimee was already so deep...
