Katherine's hands shook slightly as she reached for her phone, discreetly checking the clock. "I still have an hour left," she thought to herself as anxiety tightened her stomach.
"MOOOOOM!" One of her daughters shouted from downstairs.
Trying her hardest to hide the uncertainty in her voice, Katherine shouted back, "What, honey?"
"Dad says he wants to talk to you!"
She sighed, thinking about the awful timing. "Alright, honey, I'm on my way!" she called out as she stood and began her descent down the stairs.
"Hey, Mom," greeted her first daughter, Jennifer. Katherine could only differentiate the twins because Jennifer dressed more daringly, while Jessica adopted a more conservative style. Otherwise, both were slender young women with jet-black hair and striking green eyes, just like their mother.
"Hey, honey. Where's your sister?" Jennifer pointed further into the kitchen. Katherine walked to Jessica and held out her hand, into which Jessica placed the phone. "Hello?"
"Hey, honey, I'm sorry, but it looks like I'll be stuck in New Jersey for the next week."
She sighed. "Alright, I understand. That's fine. You should come home after that, though. You missed the girls' 18th birthday last week."
"I know, I'll be home after that. Don't worry." Katherine finished her conversation with her husband and handed the phone back to Jessica.
"Where are you going this morning, Mom?" her daughter asked.
Katherine glanced down at her outfit for the day. "Oh, I'm meeting up with a friend from work today for a while. Nothing to worry about."
Jessica walked past her, reaching down to pet the black and tan furry lump lying on the ground. As she scratched the Doberman's head, its face popped up, looking happily into Jessica's eyes, elated with the affection. "Alright then, have fun, Mom."
The mother-now-turned-slave finished getting ready and worked up the courage to finally make her way towards the mall.
*******
Katherine approached the entrance of the mall, her eyes scanning the surroundings in search of Matthew--or was it Matt? Perhaps Sir? She wasn't sure how to address him anymore. Despite the uncertainty, a sense of dignity and a desire to maintain control lingered within her. She contemplated whether he could genuinely force her to use titles like "Sir" in public. "He couldn't really make me call him Sir or something else ridiculous like that in the open, could he?" she pondered to herself.
Suddenly, her mind flashed to videos she'd watched in private before: men walking women on leashes referring to them as 'Master'.
A rush of warmth spread through Katherine's body, and for a moment, she entertained the thought, "Would he want to be called Master?" Quickly, she snapped back to reality, realizing what she was daydreaming about and scolding herself. "This isn't some porn; this is my life, and my reputation on the line. I'm only doing this to keep things under wraps. I just need time to find something on him, and I'll get myself out of this mess."
Just as she regained focus, the woman spotted him ahead. She quickly checked her watch, and noted it was 10:58--perfect, early with time to spare. She walked up to him, her eyes fixed on the phone he was holding as he was checking his watch.
"Hello, Matthew."
His eyes snapped up from the watch to hers angrily. "Matthew?" he exclaimed, offended, and as if expecting her to correct herself before lowering his arm.
With a renewed confidence after a night's sleep and letting the adrenaline subside, Kathleen bet that he wasn't willing to maintain his cruel behavior for long, having likely exhausted it the day before.
"Yes, Matthew. What, do you want me to call you Matt or something?"
His eyes grew cold as he stared at her for a long moment before reaching for his phone and holding it in front of her.
"See that? It was already written. I was ready to press send at 11 am on the dot if you didn't show up. But, you followed directions, so I didn't. Do you understand how this works now?" he said, almost patronizingly. Kathleen looked at him with a renewed fear as she read the HR lead's name at the top of the email draft.
"Now you think because I didn't send it, you have some type of power over me? That you suddenly are in control again? I thought I was giving you an opportunity, but it seems like you still want to be that same person you were in the office, so..." He trailed off, his back turning to her, signaling he was about to hit send.
"Wait! Shit. I'm sorry--Sir," the word Sir feeling foreign on her tongue. He turned his head slightly to the side, eyeing her.
"I didn't agree to this just to deal with a brat. Remember, you begged me for this." Kathleen's brow furrowed with concern as she grasped his arm.
"Wait, no, I meant it! I'm sorry, I wasn't trying to..." She whimpered, looking away for a moment, thinking back to her earlier thoughts. She looked back up at him with a sincere face and tone, asking, "Master, I'm very sorry, and I shouldn't have been so rude. Will you please give me another chance?"
Matt sighed, putting his phone away and looking at her with a continued unimpressed demeanor. "Looks like after our shopping trip we will need to establish some rules, won't we?"
She eagerly nodded her head in agreement. "Yes, Master!" she said in a hushed tone, looking around to ensure no one could hear her. He smirked before turning to walk further into the mall, seemingly knowing exactly where he wanted to go without even looking back as he was confident the pathetic woman would follow him. He knew she'd obey; she just needed a little reminder of her position in this arrangement.
She kept pace behind him and wondered about their purpose here. She dressed professionally, always in jackets, skirts, hosiery, and heels. What did he have in mind?
He began browsing through rows of clothing, grabbing a few pieces and handing them to her to carry. As she inspected the selections, she noticed bustier tops a size too small, garter belts, and bright colors. She recoiled in horror at the choices, but reassured herself, "Okay, this is fine. He probably just wants me to wear these for him. Just go along with it," she thought to herself.
After a few more moments and several sections later, Matt turned to her. "Alright, let's get you in a fitting room." He shouted to the nearby associate, a young girl who looked to be around 19 or 20. "Excuse me, miss!" The girl happily bounced over to them and opened a fitting room for Katherine. Matt sorted through the selections and handed them to her in groups. "Try these on together. When you're done, come out and show me." He watched her nervous hand reach out and accept the outfits he'd chosen before disappearing into the fitting room.
Matt stood outside the fitting room curtain until he heard it rustling as she pulled it back. He looked her over as she wore black stockings, a black skirt that hit mid-thigh and hugged her hips, and a white, sheer button-up top that was a size too small, hugging every curve tightly. He smirked as he reached up and unbuttoned the top three buttons of the blouse, revealing her ample cleavage. She looked down and then back up at him with a small blush. Unbeknownst to Matt, as he unbuttoned her shirt, she felt a small thrill run through her body that confused her. It was as if she wanted him to expose her, even if she knew it was wrong.
She patiently waited as he evaluated her for a long moment. "Turn around," he commanded. She did as asked. "Alright. Set that aside, we're getting it. Next one."
She let out a sigh she'd been holding in as she entered the fitting room. The next outfit he'd picked out was something much more out of her comfort zone. A high-waist, soft pink skirt that hit mid-thigh. White hosiery with a matching white garter belt. A knitted white long-sleeve V-neck ribbed crop top.
After a much longer wait, she finally peeked out from behind the curtain to Matt. He looked at her with a cocked brow, "Well, get out here already."
"I'd... rather not... can you just peek in?"
Matt scoffed. "Absolutely not. Besides, how are you going to wear these to the office if you can't even step out of the fitting room?"
Fear flooded her body. "To WORK?!"
Matt chuckled and looked at her amused. "Where else?"
Her face dropped. "Matt - fuck - Master, I can't wear this to work. There's no way!"
"Why not? You were so eager to be a slut on display when you took those photos. Whether I out you for taking them, or you dress like this, I think the office deserves to know exactly who you are. Don't you think?"
Katherine squirmed behind the curtain, not wanting to upset Matt, but struggling with this concept. "Master, I truly cannot-"
"Okay." Matt cut her off and spoke the singular word calmly, smiling ear to ear before allowing a short pause and continuing. "That's fine, you don't have to. I'll just go with my original plan then."
Katherine panicked once again. "No! No, no wait! Don't go, please. Fine. I'll do as you say."
Matt stared at her, still grinning. "Just remember. You begged for this. I haven't made you do anything here."
Katherine slowly brought back the curtain and stepped out, head lowered.
Matt let out a low whistle. "Now that will get the guys talking at lunch break. Hmmm....wait here." She watched him walk off before quickly returning with a male associate who didn't look much older than 20. "Here, what do you think of her outfit?" Her face blushed deep red as the man evaluated her figure.
"I think for the fit, she could go up a size; it'll make the proportions more flattering. But...I think it..." his eyes landed on her bosom "is a very nice outfit on you, ma'am."
She felt like she wanted to disappear into the earth, be sucked into a void and never be seen again. But she couldn't help squirming as she felt her cunt heat up at the attention.
It was something she had felt during those photo shoots that she never thought she would feel again.
Matt looked at her and smirked. "You're right. She does need to lose a few pounds to fit into them properly. Thank you." The associate walked away still stealing glances on his way back.
Matt strode up to Katherine backing her slightly into the fitting room intimidatingly. "I saw you. You can't even try and tell me you're not loving this you slut."
Katherine sputtered "N-no! I'm not!"
Matt lowered his hand and pushed it under her skirt to feel for her panties, deftly moving them aside and swiping across her now slick cunt with two fingers. The woman froze solid as he did this, shocked by his forwardness. He held the slick fingers up in front of her. "Then why are you dripping as if you're more turned on than you've ever been? Hmm?"
Her face blushed again as she stared at his fingers coated in her own wet slick. He moved them closer to her face pointing them at her mouth. "Now clean up your disgusting mess." She stared at them for a long moment, not wanting to. She'd never tasted pussy before, not even her own, and the idea revolted her. She looked up at him with pleading eyes.
"Now."
