Author's Note:
This story is part of a longer series, but a brief recap is provided below for those newer to the series. This story explores the duality of a woman who freely switches between a dominant and a submissive persona depending on whom she is with. If the idea of a woman dominating a man (first half of this story) or a man dominating a woman (second half of this story) is bothersome to you, then maybe you should not proceed any further.

Part 9: A Tale of Two Kims
Kim Barnes, the CEO of Geneco, sat in a conference room at the head of a long oak table with the company's senior leadership gathered around as they reviewed the company's performance. As usual, Kim was the only woman in a room filled with men, but she held her head high and confidently pushed her chest forward. At 5'5" and 125 pounds, she was the most diminutive person in the room, but she maintained a strong executive presence that commanded the room's attention.
Her VP of Operations, Ted Gaines, cowered at the far end of the table. He was sweating profusely and clearly straining to hold himself together. Ever since Kim confronted him last week about his workplace affair with Marcia, a manager in his chain of command, he had purposefully avoided Kim and otherwise walked on pins and needles when he couldn't. She had saved his job but humiliated him in the process. He was a proud man, and Kim had deliberately destroyed his confidence and established her dominance over him in the process.
"Ted, are you presenting the slides for our manufacturing updates?" she asked in a condescending tone.
Ted struggled to pull himself together and sit up in his chair.
"Yes," he mumbled
Kim flashed him a sly grin as she discreetly held her phone under the table and adjusted the settings on the remote-controlled vibrating butt plug she had ordered Ted to wear. He squirmed in his seat, trying not to belie his discomfort. She thought back fondly to a few weeks ago when her own Master, Nick, forced her to wear a similar device during a corporate Board of Directors meeting. At the time, she felt fear and terror, and she struggled to hold herself together the entire meeting. Her behavior was so odd, she came within a razor's edge of being publicly ruined. In retrospect, however, the audacity of the stunt sent chills down her spine, and she found herself addicted to the thrill of having her deviancy discovered.
Now she found herself on the other end of the equation. Ted was a proud man, and he was clearly just trying to hold himself together.
Kim scrutinized the tables and graphs displayed on the large screen.
"Why are your manufacturing number lagging? You didn't hit any of your targets," she stated coldly.
"I - I'm sorry," Ted replied, stumbling over his words. "We encountered problems out of our control. Two of our production lines were down for two weeks each because of equipment issues."
"Are those the two production lines where the control modules failed after you decided you didn't have enough time to upgrade them during the last shutdown?" Kim snapped back.
She took note how all the men in the room drew back at her sharp rebuke to Ted. Ted himself, squirmed uncomfortably in his chair. Kim pondered how much of his discomfort was attributable to her verbal dress down and how much was because of the butt plug, although, she decided it ultimately didn't matter.
"There's a town hall this week. I'm presenting this information to the whole company. We might have to cut personal bonuses this year for all the employees because of the lost revenue. Get our maintenance and engineering departments to do a health assessment of all our critical production equipment. Make sure we don't have any similar blind spots. I don't want to hear any excuses again. Do I make myself clear?"
"Yes, ma'am," Ted meekly replied, feeling miserable and humiliated.
*****
A few hours later, Ted stood in the doorway to Kim's office, his face clearly agitated, but he had just received an IM from her asking him to come over, and he dutifully obeyed.
"Go ahead and close the door," Kim said, not even looking up from her computer.
Ted reluctantly followed her instruction, knowing that disobedience would only further incite her wrath. He was becoming fed up with being her bitch, however, and his frustration was almost boiling over.
"You humiliated me this morning," he complained, throwing his hands in the air. "That was uncalled for. I can't keep doing this."
"You can't or you won't?" Kim shot back, barely lifting her eyes from the screen.
"What's the point to all this? What are you trying to prove?" he cried out. "You've had your fun and games, but this is sick. Sadistic. You want to teach me a lesson, then fine. Yeah, I cheated on my wife. Yeah, I broke the company rules. It was dumb. I know that. But I've learned my lesson. Besides, who do you think you are? Acting all high and mighty as if you're doing me a favor. At first, I even thought you were protecting me or teaching me a lesson in some perverse way, but no. You're taking advantage of my situation, taking advantage of me. And I'm not putting up with it anymore. It's not worth it. I still have my pride, my dignity. I'm done with this. I won't be disrespected, and I'm done being your bitch!" Ted emphatically insisted.
"Are you done whining and complaining yet?" Kim asked impatiently. "First off, I never said I was better than you. I'm just smart enough to keep my personal issues out of the workplace. And secondly, you're right; I am taking advantage of you because I'm also smart enough to take advantage of situations. Welcome to reality. It's a cutthroat world. So, you have a vulnerability, and I'm exploiting it."
"Fuck you, Kim."
"Oh, you wish. You admitted before that you would've jumped at the chance to be with me, didn't you?"
Ted stood defiantly in front of Kim, puffing his chest out and daring her to continue belittling him.
"Look at you," Kim taunted him. "Trying to figure out if this is some trick. Am I playing mind games with you? Am I testing you to see if you really are reformed, the God-fearing family man you pretended to be for so long? Or maybe there's a chance you could actually fuck me. You'd hate to pass up that opportunity, wouldn't you, Teddy boy?"
Ted stood speechless, unable to make sense of it all.
"Cat got your tongue?" Kim asked with a menacing laugh. "You say you're fed up, but that's just you lashing out emotionally, isn't it? Your Benz. Your house in Beachwood. Your wife, Sharon. Your kids. Your sterling reputation as a church elder. As a corporate VP. Would you really risk all that?"
"That's blackmail," Ted fired back.
"Correction. That's your sad, sad state of affairs. Now this is how it's going to go down. You've got a choice, and it's your choice to make, Ted, but choose wisely." Kim pushed her chair back from her desk and stood up. Even in heels, she was still almost 6 inches shorter than Ted, but he took a step back at the threat she posed to him. "You can walk out that door, but your indiscretions come to light," she informed him.
"If I walk out that door, I can report you to HR, and I'll take you down with me," he warned her.
Kim smiled menacingly. "That's a calculated risk I'm willing to take. Besides, it'll be 'he said, she said,' and what if the 'she said' consisted of you sexually harassing me the same way you came on to Marcia."
Ted just shook his head in disbelief. Kim used to be his most trusted professional colleague, and now she was unrecognizable to him, his friend replaced by a conniving, manipulative devil.
"You wouldn't dare," he said, aghast in horror.
"Wouldn't I? Do you really want to try me? You already know what I'm capable of. But go ahead and walk out that door. Give up your cushy life."
"And if I don't walk out that door?"
Kim eyed the clock on her wall.
"Lily Banner will be here in 5 minutes. I'm mentoring her. You're going to strip naked, throw your clothes in the closet over there," Kim said as the nodded to the side.
