Moving In
Jane was pleased to be wearing a dress with a hem almost to the knees. The gratitude she felt toward Mark for letting her wear it, was misplaced. He was just an adolescent, yet it was taken for granted that he chose her clothing, even deciding if she could wear underwear. It was a sign of how downtrodden she had become, where everything she now did was under his supervision.
'I like your hair up, it shows off your neck,' Mark commented.
'Thank you, sir,' she replied, and smiled at him. He was nervous since his mother had arrived home, and so was she. Two days of being at his beck and call, pandering to his whims, had her automatically thinking of herself as his personal maid.
His mother walked into the lounge having returned from a two day business trip. She looked pleased with herself, as it had resulted in a lucrative contract. Jane had been hoping for a god result, so the harridan would go easy on her. She wanted to get home to check everything was in order, yet needed this controlling woman's permission.
She also wanted to phone her daughter, to check up on her, to make sure she was alright at college. There was no way Louise would guess her virtuous mother had been screwing her ex-boyfriend. It hadn't always been him taking her, for she had ended up willingly consorted with him. She enjoyed his attention, and the great sex. Never before had she let herself go so completely.
'You seem to have got on well together,' Margaret said, with a sly smile on her face.
'We did,' he smiled back at his mother.
'Maid, fetch me a drink, you know what I want,' Margaret ordered. She noticed Mark was bothered by something.
'I need a drink after those long boring meetings,' she explained, to no-one in particular.
'You should let me tell her what to do,' he petulantly said.
'Why?' Margaret asked. Noticing Jane return to his side, an awkward thought crossed her mind.
'You gave her to me, before you left,' he explained. He was trying to be casual, as though it were a foregone conclusion, not open to discussion.
'Just to look after while I was away. That's all. She's my maid, not your sexy plaything,' she forcefully spoke.
Whatever silly notions he had, would need to be squashed right now. She had plans for the stupid woman. Besides, she didn't want her son to form a crush on a thirty-four year old woman, that was just too ridiculous.
'She is now,' he pouted. He couldn't help reverting to a demanding teenager in front of his mom.
'She belongs to me. There's no way I'm giving her to you. You're not capable of looking after her properly,' she pointed out.
'I can look after her. I know what she wants,' he leered.
'What about the daughter? There's also meetings she goes to, and a house to look after. A woman has physical and personal things to attend to. Are you going to be involved in the messy things of life. Are you going to keep track of where she's supposed to be, and what she's to do once there?' Margaret asked, pointing a finger at Jane.
He was over eighteen and could make up his own mind without her interference. The idea of making up his own mind gave him an idea.
'What do you think, maid?' he asked. Asking on the spur of the moment might not have been such a good idea.
Jane had been listening to them arguing over her, as though she were nothing more than a family pet. What was next, a collar and leash? Would they argue over who's turn it was to clean out her cage? That's how it felt in this house. As if she were in a cage, with the bars tightening around her with every wicked thing she complied with. Her actions were becoming more salubrious as the will to resist faded.
What was she to do? Over the last two days he controlled every move she made. Of course he enjoyed teasing, and sexually working up a mature adult. He was exploring and developing, just playing with her. It was terribly damning that she too enjoyed the naughty games. Being his plaything, letting him experiment on her, was demeaning. She was a mature woman with a daughter. It was immoral for her to give in to him.
Margaret was right. If she was to be subject to one of them, it was a woman who would look after her properly. Margaret would use her, but keep her on a longer leash. She would understand that there were things in life that had to be taken care of, besides a young man's carnal needs. Again the feeling of being a pet hung heavily upon her. The decision had to be made.
With head hung low, she traipsed over to Margaret and stood demurely beside her. She couldn't look at Mark, not wanting to see the disappointment, or acknowledge the anger emanating from across the room. Thankfully he quickly stormed off to his room.
'So, maid. You enjoyed yourself, with my son?' Margaret innocently asked.
'Yes, ma'am, thank you ma'am,' Jane responded without thinking.
The woman gave her a knowing look and Jane blushed brightly from acknowledging the awful truth.
'He's nearly half your age!' Margret said, in mock surprise. 'I wonder what our righteous neighbours would say, if they knew you were screwing my son?' she said, sounding genuinely curious, as though considering the idea.
During the pause all was quiet, as even Mark had switched off the loud protest music playing in his room. Jane sunk further into the mire, even though it was obvious the woman was merely mocking her, with no intention of telling anyone. Of course Margaret wouldn't tell anyone. Breaking the hold over her victim would spoil the fun.
'Get me that drink, maid,' Margaret sighed. It was time to relax now the confrontation with Mark was over. 'Unpack my bags, and wash the clothes. Not these,' Margaret referred to the shopping bags parked beside the chair.
They were gifts bought after a lucrative business meeting. Something for herself, Mark, and the maid.
Returning to the lounge, Jane was pleased to see her boss was relaxed. 'Would you like something to eat, ma'am,' Jane asked.
'Another drink will suffice. Too many business lunches,' she said.
Margaret smiled at the woman. Mark had completed his tasks unexpectedly well. Her whole bearing revealed acceptance of the maid role. She looked humble, and ready to obey. The transformation started from the moment the morning after pill had been taken. It was a stark symbol of her fall from grace. It wasn't just the threat of blackmail keeping her under the thumb. She seemed to be a natural, and just needed a push to take the first step in being a submissive.
'Any side effects from the morning after pill?' Margaret asked
'No, ma'am,' Jane answered, with a reddening face.
