CHAPTER 12: BDSM ORDEAL -- PART A
We had been driving for about half an hour, ending at an over-the-top mansion within an exclusive gated community to the North of the city. We made good time by avoiding the city on county and state roads. As Mr. W opened my door to assist me from the car, the cape I wore opened up to the single clasp at my neck. The cape and my high heels were the only items I wore. Mr. W looked at me as I took his hand, my body completely on display to him. This in itself would not be new to us, he is very familiar with my body and I am very comfortable giving it to him ... completely and without reservation. What is different, however, is that he is delivering me to this home, and the couple inside, for the weekend. And ... my only possessions for the weekend are what I currently am wearing.
All this started earlier in the week when Mr. W and I met with the Board of Directors to discuss the various products I had developed secretly at my lab on the estate. Normally, the Board rarely gets even marginally involved with the specifics of our products. They are concerned with profitability, reaction from the shareholders, market analysts, and future growth potential for the company. In many ways, these new products touched on several of those areas of interest. The sexual nature of the new products I've developed are well outside the company's previous scope and markets. That was what drove Mr. W's interest in gaining the Board's consent and acceptance.
I presented the various new products with detailed review of problems they solved or remedied or the physical enhancements possible. The information was very specific and graphic. Mr. W wanted nothing held back. My presentation included definition of each issue, the development process, testing, and the effectiveness of each product. I included recipient testimonials and before/after photographic evidence. The Board was not privy to who the recipients were while being established as confidential, but included were pictures of Mr. W, Robert and James' enlargements, my tits, and my nipples and clitoral changes. It was quite weird to reference these while knowing who they belonged to.
I was completely professional in my presentation and appearance, wearing a smart, conservative business suit. Mr. W has tried hard to keep separate my company/professional image and the life we are privately engaged in. That was about to be sacrificed, though it was not known to us at the time.
After my presentation, fielding numerous questions, some indicating possible individual interest, Mr. W presented his ideas for taking the products forward to market. His preference was directly to market using the strength of our company's position and recognition. Alternatively, we could partner with another company, but that would cost valuable profit potential.
He approached me the following day and I could see something wasn't right. We sat for coffee in the kitchen. I was wearing a sheer baby-doll with the mandatory heels on my feet. As I returned to the table with refills, he commented that it somehow doesn't feel right to discuss this with me dressed like that. We sat at our customary locations so I could easily reach across the corner to put my hand over his to reassure him that viewing my body didn't preclude us having a serious discussion.
He went on to explain his concern following the Board meeting. There may be some of the Board reluctant to take the company down the path he suggested for these products. Their concern was over a potential that these products could negatively affect the perception of the company across other products. He made an informal survey of the eight members and found the predictable five who would follow his lead on most anything. Of the other three, there was one member who seemed to already hold sway over the other two. Mr. W has the votes to proceed but wants a unanimous approval.
The potential problem would come from Mr. Harrison, a member of the Board for many years and has gained some strength there among a few members. He has learned, from information he has obtained confidentially, that Harrison and his wife practice BDSM within a very confidential group of couples. Their enjoyment is similar to swinging with soft BDSM practices mixing in as the primary 'slave' subjects being their wives.
He told me he didn't want this discussion to be taken by me as something I felt I had to do because of my role with him. He said their practices involve some pain by whipping, caning, wax, clamps, bondage and such, but not to the point of marking, breaking skin, or lasting bruising. He reminded me their wives are their normal subjects and they are not particularly submissive women. Some events have a swap where the wife is 'used' by another man; other events might have a single wife subjected to the use by the rest of the group with the other women using humiliation, cunt sucking, slapping, and use of dildos. Every now and then, a different woman is brought in for their play. The woman has always been a prostitute but that seems to take the fun out of it for them.
I asked how he knew so much about a private and confidential group and he confided that one of the other couples owed him for help he gave in some refinancing. It got him a lot of information.
I queried how this involved me, though I had begun to suspect. Though he hadn't wanted my role at the estate to affect my feelings, his eyes did wander over my body, some of which was seen through sheer cloth, but most naked. The baby-doll, held by a single tie below the tits, gaped at the bottom as I sat, my thighs slightly parted. My tits and nipples were visible under the material, my cunt clearly exposed. He smiled after moments of gazing.
He told me Harrison got to where he is by being wise about people and having his own information. Suffice it to say he guessed about me. He wasn't sure, but he did guess that some of those pictures were of me. It may have been reinforced by a comment from Marjorie about my appearance in the office that day. At any rate, Harrison proposed a way to get a unanimous approval from the Board. Mr. W confided to me that he misplayed the situation. He was upset that someone on his own Board would play a power struggle move and not over what was really better for the company but just for the game. And that's what Harrison was doing. He didn't even deny it. So, Mr. W had played the card ... hinted at what he knew. Harrison didn't even flinch. He almost seemed ready for it as if he expected it to come into play at some point. Maybe he even knew about the other couple's indebtedness to Mr. W. Regardless, Harrison calmly reinforced that leaking a scandal around him would be a scandal for the company.
