Thirteen Weeks Ago
Layla Meridith was highly upset. This was the type of upset that left an individual unable to speak, rational thoughts few and far between. The type of upset that demands the satisfaction of revenge. She paced back and forth in her study, the fireplace crackling, a half empty bottle of chardonnay and a completely empty crystal flute sat on her African Blackwood desk, largely ignored at this point. She was hardly able to believe the gumption, the audacity, Jaren Mathewson had to possess in order to ask her the questions he did. The fact that each question made her believe that Jaren knew far more than he let on. That wasn't necessarily a bad thing. However, if he knew of her proclivity to certain activities, something would have to be done. Her submissive groaned in wanton lust, chained and kneeling beside her desk, ignored save for a quick, yet fairly brutal, strike from her riding crop. She continued to pace, trying to decide what to do. The whole Dominant/submissive thing wasn't considered a bad thing by people as a whole, especially if kept within closed doors. Hell, everyone had a little bit of kink within them. The issue is when the mayor of a large city is a sadistic Dominatrix whose appetite for dealing out pain and drawing blood sometimes bordered on the maniacal.
Her submissive, her husband, one Francis Orthington, lay writhing on the floor, chains clinking together, dragging across the wood paneling, drool pooling around his knees, dripping from the ball gag shoved in his mouth. She didn't pay him much mind, something he got off on. He loved the pain that his mistress delivered day after day, but what really truly got his motor running was the indifference she seemed to have when looking at him. As if he weren't actually there.
With a quick backhand, Layla smacked Francis across the face with her crop, the leather strap at the end slashing through the air like a bolt. Francis cried out, falling back, his chains preventing him from getting back to his knees. It mattered not, though. Layla was still deep in thought.
Layla then sat on her desk, crossing her legs, her black latex thigh highs glinting in the light of the fire. She filled her glass with wine, trying to decide whether or not to take Jaren up on his dinner invitation. On one hand, he might try to blackmail her for whatever nefarious schemes he had planned. Of course, if he did try that particular route, it'd be especially satisfying telling him to fuck off. She had no doubt that her lifestyle could hurt her chances in the upcoming election, but she was a Domme through and through. If she couldn't be mayor and enjoy the lifestyle she had chosen in her very limited spare time, she would rather resign.
Decision made, Layla drained the glass, stood up, and sashayed over to Francis who lay whimpering on the floor where she left him. The wine left her buzzed and horny. She needed release and she was going to get it.
