Goddess Aurelia

Nicola was the first to awake on Monday morning. It was still very early, and the sun was barely up. Given the events of the day before and, more importantly, the day yet to come, she had a lot of mixed emotions.

As she rubbed her eyes and looked into the corner of the room, she could see Henrietta staring longingly back at her. Her eyes were bright red, and she had been crying most of the night, but she was still full of hunger and love for her Goddess. She watched her for a few minutes; Henrietta desperately wanted acceptance or attention. Nicola smiled, thinking about how much power she had over this woman.

Eventually, she took pity on her and moved the duvet to one side, exposing her bare feet at the bottom of the bed. Henrietta's eyes widened to saucers as she waited for a signal she could approach. Nicola started wiggling her toes and rubbing her soles together, teasing the poor girl. When Nicola could see she was fit to burst with desperation, she clicked her fingers and pointed to her feet.

Henrietta shot across the room quicker than a greyhound and immersed all her love into Nicola's feet, rubbing, kissing, and licking them without pause. Her feet were still particularly pungent from the day before, making the whole task much more pleasurable for the waitress.

Nicola then turned her attention to me, putting her arm around me and drawing me into her chest. I turned over and embraced Nicola from the side with my leg across her waist. I stirred and looked up to see her staring at me. "Thank you, Nicola," I said.

"For what?" Nicola replied.

"For believing in me enough to know what I said was true last night."

Nicola just smiled and squeezed me tightly to her breast. When I heard the slurping noises coming from below, I sat up slightly and looked down to see Henrietta worshipping Nicola's feet. I lay back down and smiled.

"Want me to order her to do your feet, Chris?"

"I am not sure I would feel too comfortable with that, my love."

Nicola chuckled and said, "Ever the submissive."

I smiled back and kissed her breast.

"Just kidding get licking Henrietta" I ordered pulling her face towards my feet

"Or you can just fuck my brains out here and now?" Nicola added with a smile.

"Now that I can do," I smiled, and I leapt on top of Nicola and made mad, passionate love to her whilst Henrietta sniffed, licked and kissed my feet.

------

When I had finished my shower, I got dressed for work. Fortunately, I had left clothes at Nicola's for such an occasion, and I entered the lounge. Nicola sat at the table with Henrietta underneath her, eating scraps off a plate.

Henrietta had also made me breakfast, which I was pretty surprised about, given that she tried to almost kill me last night. So I sat down and started tucking into my eggs and bacon. As I picked up on some polite conversation with Nicola, it being too early and pre-coffee for anything sophisticated, I felt a tickle on my foot and jumped back.

Looking under the table, Henrietta kissed my foot, which felt all kinds of exciting. I didn't like it, when I hadn't been expecting it but I am sure it was well-meaning, so I let it slide. Henrietta then spoke in a soft, apologetic tone. "I am sorry, Master. I let you both down badly yesterday and just wanted to say it would never happen again. I swear with all my heart."

"Master?" I responded, startled. " now there is a title i could get used to, Nicola. really does have you well trained doesn't she bitch?" I smirked glad to finally be able to flex my muscles again Oh, and as for you never letting me down again I don't believe a word of it Henrietta. you'll have to work a lot harder than this if you expect me to believe that now my arms are tired so I am going to need you to feed me got a problem with that Bitch?

Henrietta smiled back at me, noting my respectful reply. "I am glad to be usefull master it would be an honor to make you one any day you want as long as my Goddess approves."

I then looked at Nicola, who was smiling at me. I smiled back.

"Henrietta has offered to be my permanent domestic servant, cleaning up, preparing food when you are not around, and running errands as I need them. She will keep her waitress job as she insists on paying me for the privilege of working for me. As you don't want to be doing all the grunt work and would rather stick with the saucier side of my dominant nature, that could work out quite well. What do you think, Chris?"

"So it would be a strictly non-sexual relationship then, Nicola?"

"Most definitely, Chris. This is about slavery, not love. I may let her lick and sniff my feet occasionally as a reward, but that's as far as it goes."

"And how about my role as your Slave? Won't that get complicated?" I asked, feeling a little isolated by the proposal.

"Don't you worry about that. I am going to focus my dominant attention on you all the time. It will just be more sexual, pleasure and punishment focused whilst for her it will be almost all domestic."

Nicola then looked very serious and added, "Anyway, my love, I am still discovering who I am with my dominant side, and I want to protect you from that until I know I can control it."

"I don't need any protection," I replied, feeling my pride dented.

"Then do it for me, please, Chris. Henrietta can take the brunt of my sharpest and nastiest outbursts. She is more prepared for that than you are. You are so important to me. I don't want to destroy what we have. I am not sure I could live with myself if I did."

I looked at Henrietta under the table, looking back at me longingly and with hope in her eyes.

"Why don't we give it a trial and see how we all feel about it after a few weeks?"

"Perfect idea!" Nicola responded, then added, "I presume that's ok with you, Foot Bitch?"

Henrietta licked Nicola's bare feet on the top to signal her joy at the agreement.

Just then, I heard my mobile phone issue a text bleep, so I got up to grab it from my jacket pocket. It was from Allegra.

"Hey Nicola, I just got a text from Allegra at Leading Edge Associates, the woman who interviewed me."

"What does it say, Chris?"

"It says I am going to get an offer today and that she looks forward to working with me in the near future if I accept."

"Which role is it for?" Nicola questioned.

"It doesn't say. But this changes everything, don't you see? We can resign and get the fuck away from Beth and all those crazy bitches like immediately."

"Don't you think you should wait for a contract or something?"

"Given where I am with Beth right now, I think the sooner I am out, the better. She wouldn't text me that news unless it was concrete. That would be unprofessional. I will tell Beth I am leaving today. That's what I have decided. Even if there are issues, we can sort them out together. You are too important to me, Nicola, to stick around that office and Beth any longer," I said, reaching out and holding her hand across the table.

"Well, let me give it some more thought before I jump on that train with you. I am still a little nervous about giving up my pay packet until I have a fallback. I don't want to get in debt and lose my apartment. But the danger of continuing to work there without you does make your suggestion quite appealing."

Henrietta said from under the table, "If I may add, Goddess. I would be happy to work extra shifts to help pay your rent and provide for you in any way I can. Would that please you?"

"Well, that is most thoughtful of you, Foot Bitch. I will consider your offer in line with the other things I need to take on board."

Nicola then got up, went to the side cupboard, and withdrew a key. She then ordered Henrietta to approach her, which she did on her knees. "This is your key, Foot Bitch. You will need it to let yourself in to clean and run my errands. You must always knock, though, in case I am at home with my loved one and don't wish to be surprised, understand?"

Henrietta nodded and kissed Nicola's feet again shortly before she turned and left for her shower. Not long afterwards, we were all set to go and exited together.

Henrietta smiled and gently kissed my feet, "Thank you, master." Then she turned to kiss Nicola's feet one last time and headed off to work. Nicola and I walked in the opposite direction to the office.

---

As we walked to work holding hands, we started discussing some of the issues and options we needed to finalize before we arrived.

"We must have a clear plan before we get there, Nicola. If you are also leaving, we can go in together and give it to Beth, both barrels. However, if you are going to stay, you must not be seen with me like this under any circumstances. It would be dangerous for you if they knew we were in a relationship, especially Beth."

Nicola took some time to reflect on my points before responding, "If the Leading Edge role doesn't pan out, Chris, are you sure we can still make this work if I leave?"

"I am sure we can. We can sell one of our apartments and move into the other together. I will take any job if I have to on an interim basis until we get sorted. I have some savings left, though not much after our shopping trip." I teased.

"I can take that stuff back if I have to, and I could also sell some records if we need quick cash. My collection is worth quite a lot of money now."

I smiled and squeezed her hand. "I would be much happier if you left with me, Nicola. At least then, I know you would be safe."

Nicola then stopped and pulled me to a halt with her hand. She stood before me, kissed me gently and brushed my cheek. "Then it's decided, my love. I will leave with you today."

I gave Nicola a big cuddle and lifted her off the ground in elation. She hugged me back.

After deciding, we picked up the pace and quickly made our way to the office. We arrived a little after 8am.

----

I was surprised Beth hadn't fired a nasty text at me, given I wasn't in the office for 8 o'clock sharp. When we entered the office, it looked like we were the first there. It was only as we approached Beth's office that we could see the light was on and hear voices coming from inside.

After conferring with Nicola, we decided to speak to Beth together and get it out of the way before anyone else arrived. We could then get the hell out of dodge soon after. As such, we approached the door, and I knocked.

The voices inside continued for about another five minutes before the door opened. As we went to walk in, Yuki came rushing out in a stream of tears, looking utterly distraught. I was tempted to ask her if she was okay, but she ran past me so quickly that I never had the chance. I looked at Nicola, who said, "Let's go in and get this done. I am feeling sick with worry now."

As we entered the office, Beth was in her customary position at her desk with her shoes on top. She looked calm and relaxed, dressed in a black designer dress with red trim on the armless shoulders and bottom where it met her knees. She had on a pair of red designer shoes that I had bought her and red pantyhose contrasting with the black. She looked both smart and formidable. Her aura and confidence flooded the atmosphere, creating a claustrophobic and daunting feeling in the room.

She looked directly at us as we entered, her eyes narrowed and introspective like she was still in deep thought and picking us apart. Once we were in the centre of the room, Nicola and I stopped, and I addressed Beth. "We would like to discuss something important with you, Beth. Unfortunately, it cannot wait."

"Well, if it isn't the happy couple," Beth said sarcastically. "And you are presuming to call me Beth. You must be full of confidence and self-assuredness to make such a bold opening statement whilst facing me."

Beth was already playing power games, which caused me to stutter. Beth smirked, seeing she already had me reeling, and it was only when Nicola stepped in we continued. "It's to do with our roles here, Beth."

"Ahh, now the little traitorous bitch speaks. Having gone behind my back and stolen my Slave, you have the nerve to come into my office and request my attention?" Beth hissed.

Nicola was now also thrown off course. Beth was making this very difficult, sensing what we were up to and what we were about to say. I took over from Nicola, "We have come to tell you we are resigning with immediate effect, Beth. There is nothing you can say to change our minds. We are fully committed to this decision. We just ask that you let us go and don't try to stop us."

Beth started laughing, which confused us both. "Young love, so blind, so optimistic, SO FUCKING STUPID!"

Beth picked up some papers from her desk and threw them on the floor beneath us. We both looked down at them, not quite knowing what was happening. "Well fucking read them then, you idiots!"

I bent down, picked up several papers, and put them back in order. When I got to a headed letter with red writing, I started reading through it. As I went through the details, I started referencing the other documents. I was utterly mortified by what I was reading.

Seeing the look on my face, Nicola said, "What's wrong, Chris?"

I looked at Beth and said, "This is a bunch of horseshit. There is no way you can make this stick."

Now very concerned, Nicola repeated her question, "Chris, please tell me what is happening."

Beth started laughing again, looking at my face sink in the realisation that what she had was watertight and damning. "It's a legal declaration that the company will begin proceedings against you for embezzlement, fraud and bringing the business into disrepute," I replied as the words hollowed me out.

"What? That can't be true, Chris. I have never done anything wrong like that in my life." Nicola's voice was quivering with the seriousness of the accusations.

"There are bank statements here showing the transfer of funds and details of an offshore bank account opened in your name. There are also citations linking your accounts to dirty money laundering. It looks bad, Nicola," I said, barely able to look her in the eyes.

"Well, it's all fucking lies, Chris!" Nicola screamed, clamouring for the documents to validate what I had said.

"I know," I said with a heavy heart, realising Beth had Nicola over a barrel.

Beth then uncrossed her feet and re-crossed them the other way on the desk, "You see, being me has several upsides. My power and reach extend well beyond the walls of this two-bit business. I have significant influence in the finance and legal sectors here in London. If I need something to happen, then it does. My finance team has assured me that all the transactions are fully auditable and traceable to Nicola to a sufficient legal standard. Similarly, I have had a legal team assemble that folder in preparation for a prosecution order. They have both assured me that the charges will stick with 100% certainty."

Nicola and I were staring blankly at Beth in shock. Nicola now had tears rolling down her cheeks, fearful of what Beth's wrath could do to her life.

"15 years is the conservative estimate, Nicola. Do you think you can wait that long, Chris?" Beth laughed again.

I wanted to kill Beth but knew I stood no chance and that it would only make matters worse. "What does this mean then, Beth?"

"Well, for a start, it means STOP FUCKING CALLING ME BETH!" she screamed.

"What does it mean, please, goddess?" I repeated, feeling the next fifteen minutes would be as painful as any in my life before and probably to come.

"It means whatever the fuck I want it to mean, bitches!"

"Now go and get my breakfast, Slave. You are fucking 30 minutes late already, and I am not discussing this further until I have had my coffee."

I looked at Nicola, who nodded back at me. I started to lead Nicola by the hand before Beth called out, "Just you, Slave. Nicola and I have things to discuss."

"Just go, Chris," Nicola said solemnly.

I ran as quickly as possible to the French patisserie to return and support Nicola. I was heavily out of breath when I got back. As I walked in, I stopped in shock and started feeling sick. As I looked across the room, Beth had her stockinged feet resting on Nicola's face, down below her chair. Nicola was rubbing the areas of Beth's feet that were overhanging her face.

"We had a little talk while you were gone, Slave. Nicola begged to be my personal Slave in exchange for putting the prosecution order on ice, which, after some thought and begging, of course, I agreed to. You see, I had a vacant position, as my last Slave was an ungrateful disrespectful fucker who I needed to replace. I promised my new bitch that with enough love, devotion and suffering under me, I would eventually grow weary of her and set her free. How long that will be exactly, we will just have to wait and see." Beth then chuckled to herself before looking down at Nicola.

"Pretty stinky under there, isn't it, Foot Bitch? Well, don't worry; in a couple more days, when I have really got some serious stink in them, today will seem like a walk through a rose garden. You will soon grow accustomed to them even if you hate feet at the moment. In fact, my old Slave used to shoot his load doing exactly what you are doing. Ironic, eh?" Beth cooed.

I dropped the breakfast on Beth's desk, got on my knees and kissed her feet, which sat on Nicola's face. They did, indeed, smell pretty bad.

"Get the fuck away from me, you miserable wanker. I don't want you anywhere near me. That honour is for my Slave and my Slave alone. Now fuck off!" Beth then kicked me hard in the chest, sending me across the floor and winding me.

After a few minutes of recovering, I got back to my knees and pleaded, "Please, Goddess, take me as your Slave. Let Nicola go. I will do anything you want."

"Oh, that ship sailed long ago, Wimp. I have a nice shiny new slave now, and I am not about to trade her in for a fucking disgusting piece of shit like you!"

"Adding to that, this Slave is duty-bound, so I can be much nastier, more brutal and a lot less tolerant with her than with you. You were a fucking coward. I am sure she will have a lot more resolve than you, and even if she doesn't, tough fucking luck for her!" Beth then laughed like an evil queen parodying Nicola's predicament.

"And what of me, Beth?" I said.

"Ah, yes, you. I wondered when you would get around to asking me that. It didn't take long for you to doom your little bitch here to life under my feet and then return to thoughts of your own miserable existence, did it?"

Beth then leant down and pressed her feet firmly into Nicola's face before saying, "Your lover seems to have lost interest in your plight, Slave. He obviously agrees with me that you belong under my feet. He is more worried about himself now."

"Actually, I am not. I have another job and plan to use all my money to bring you down and free Nicola by any means necessary."

"Another job, eh? You have been busy," Beth said sarcastically, then looked down at Nicola. "Did you hear that, Slave? Your lover is going to leave you here alone with me. He's like a rat on a sinking ship. You really need to choose your men more wisely in the future."

"You know what. Fuck you, Beth. I love Nicola. She is perfect, kind and beautiful. You are an ugly, horrible, sadistic bitch. I will find some way to get around this nasty spider's web you have spun, and then I will bring you down. I am going to start by joining one of your competitors. When I have helped them beat you in enough bids, you will lose your job, which will be the beginning of the end for you."

Beth was angry now and pressing down hard on Nicola's face, making her scream in pain. "You are going to do all that? Do you really think you have anything like the resources to challenge me? And this job you talk about sounds quite grand. Tell me a little about it."
