The morning after the sorority graduation party, Jane had spoken briefly to Stacy about all that had happened between us. Obviously, there was more to discuss than a quick chat between the two might allow, and post-party duties (and some lingering hangovers) had forced the two of them to schedule a proper meeting a day later at Jane's house.
And so the three of us were now at Jane's place, sitting down in her living room, discussing the precarious topic at hand ; me.
I was sitting nervously on the couch, upright and rigid on the centre cushion. Across from me, Jane and Stacy were both seated on separate sofa chairs that Jane had pulled out from their usual place at the sides of the couch so that the two women could sit facing each other.
Jane was dressed nicely, wearing a dark blue, strapless summer dress that seemed just flirty enough to keep everyone in the room's eyes on her. Her hair was done up smartly, her dark bangs falling laser-straight across the tops of her eyes, and she'd even donned her jewellery; something she usually only did when she went into the office. Stacy, on the other hand, looked ready to attend a presidential gala. She was wearing a sparkly black dress, split up the side to reveal a long, smooth flash of leg. Her hair was wavy, tumbling playfully over her shoulders... and her pristine makeup looked professionally done. Both women looked gorgeous and commanding. If you didn't know any better, you might think they were engaged in some sort of high-stakes diplomatic event.
I suppose, to an extent, they were.
"This is a lot to take in..." Stacy shifted in her seat, running her hands down her hips to smooth the sides of her sheik dress. "Yes," Jane answered, a sly grin on her lips as she cocked an eye towards the former receptionist, "But I wanted you to know the full story... in case that little schemer over there tried to leave anything out the other night."
Both women turned their gazes towards me. Finally! I'd been sitting here for almost an hour while the two women had discussed the intimate details of my personal and professional life, yet all the while they'd had barely even acknowledged that I was in the room! Actually, come to think of it, I don't think I'd even said a word since Stacy had arrived at Jane's house!
Suddenly though, I felt even more uncomfortable with the two women staring at me than I had whilst I'd been ignored. Jane had deliberately ensured I was dressed as ostentatious as possible for this occasion. Instead of mirroring the smart, classy attire that the two women had donned, I was wearing a bimbo-tight white tank top that did nothing but announce to the room that I wasn't wearing a bra. The cheap tank top cut off at the midriff, ensuring plenty of bare skin was showing above the cheap, pink, tight mini skirt that clung two sizes too tight to my hips. Naturally, I wasn't wearing underwear, though a pair of garters strapped around my thighs held up a humiliating set of fishnet stockings that ended just above my high heel stiletto shoes. I could feel the couch cushion on my bare ass, and it made me feel cheap and slutty, no doubt exactly as Jane had intended.
If that wasn't enough, my leather collar hung from my neck ; the metal "BITCH" pendant proudly displayed against my bare collarbone.
The fact was that this was HARDLY a conversation between three people. Our respective outfits more than revealed who was in important here - and who was not.
"Cass told me most of the story. Almost everything you've told me matches, word for word," Stacy spoke directly to Jane, ignoring me, "She left out some of the more... embarrassing details... but I suppose that's understandable." Jane pursed her lips, and gave a quick shake of her head. "Unfortunately, it's not understandable at all," Jane said, "Cassy was given strict instructions to be completely honest with you. She knows that she was not supposed to leave anything out - including details she might feel paint her in a negative light!"
I felt my ass sink deeper into the cushion beneath me, and my cheeks flushed red at the condescending tone in Jane's voice. After I'd succumbed to my urges and slept with Stacy at the party, I'd been obligated to reveal the truth about my relationship with Jane in all of its sordid detail. Despite Jane's implication to the contrary, I really HAD done my best to tell Stacy everything! Hadn't I?
Jane was being so unfair! She was setting out to humiliate me as much as possible. First, there was this outfit... and then she'd ORDERED me not to speak when Stacy arrived. She'd forced me to remain silent as she'd recounted - in explicit, uncensored detail - the story of how she'd caught wind of my illicit deeds at Illuminate Media and used her knowledge of them to subdue me into what she'd referred to as her 'Trained Fuck-Pet'. She'd cut NOTHING out, referring to me as her "bitch" and "play toy" in front of Stacy without hesitation. She'd retold the story of how she'd first fucked me in the office, and how I'd tried to resist her at first, and how I'd come crawling back, begging for her to take me back- The way Jane described me, I sounded like I was simply over the moon to be her subby little pet! She made it sound like my mind absolutely CRAVED her training - like I was becoming nothing more than a empty headed bimbo!
Surely, Stacy saw through this absurdity! Stacy was smart - much smarter than I'd once given her credit for! Plus, Stacy had feelings for me! She'd confessed as much during the night we'd hooked up!
I was confident she'd bring some sanity back into my situation.
"I'm not all that surprised she got herself into this situation, honestly," Jane said, once more speaking to Stacy about me as if I wasn't present in the room, "When I'd first started at Illuminate, I'd gotten the feeling that her big-brains and business savvy were a cover for something much deeper. I've reviewed her professional work ; it's horribly obvious she's barely fit to sign her own name, let alone crunch numbers in a professional setting!" I blushed red, annoyed at the insults pouring from Jane's mouth. At least Stacy wouldn't let THIS stand. She had respected me when I had been her boss - I was sure of it!
But Stacy's response did not fill me with confidence. "When Cassandra was my boss, the interns and I used to call her the Business-Bimbo behind her back," Stacy laughed, "I swear, half of our job was editing her reports and polishing her crummy quarterly filings. She'd make us make sure she looked good, and we did, but it was obvious there wasn't much going on in her head." I grit my teeth, shocked and hurt by Stacy's words. How DARE she chastise me like this, especially after the wonderful night we'd spent together! Was she out of her mind, or was she simply placating Jane?!
"As for the OTHER stuff," Stacy said, biting her lip at the thought of some of the more depraved behaviour I'd partaken in, "I have to say - I've also always suspected there was quite the little slut under those power-suits...." My mouth nearly fell open.
Was - was Stacy actually accepting what Jane was telling her?
