Brats and Rats
Mikaela watched through the crystal-clear window as her father peeled out of the expansive driveway in his new Porshe. The 'boner mobile', as she referred to it. Everybody in the house knew he was off to fuck his little sidepiece, but they were all too polite to say anything. Hypocrites, the lot of them. God forbid news got out to the public about his dalliances, because that would tank her mother's ratings. And who'd vote for a prissy, holier-than-thou woman who couldn't even keep her own house in order? God, she hated it here.
"Breakfast is ready, Miss Mikaela," the nasal voice of Lilith, the head maid, called from the other side of the room. It was like she was actively pinching her own nose to get it to sound like that. "Your mother asks that you join her."
It was bad enough that they had to lean into this whole 'rich and famous' image that her mother was cultivating, but fucking maids and butlers? This shit was unreal. Mikaela had preferred it when they were just a normal family. But no. Mom had to go and find Jesus and run for mayor. Not that she even gave a shit about religion. She only wanted it for the clout.
"Yeah, yeah. I'll be down in a bit."
"She asks that you dress nicely, and not, as your mother put it, like trailer trash. The photographer is setting up for some candid shots."
"Oh, my bad, guess I'll lose the thong and miniskirt. Wouldn't want him to pop a boner while I flash my cooch at him."
Lilith's heavy sigh brought a smile to Mikaela's face. It was one of the only things that brought her any joy these days; frustrating everyone's perfect little plans. But, if she didn't want to get an earful, then she'd have to at least pretend to acquiesce.
Mikaela stripped the loose tank top with her favorite band logo off and dropped it on the carpeted floor, kicking it under the bed just so that Lilith would have to fish it out later. She unclipped her bra, letting her perky C's hang freely and tossing the bra onto the dresser. She shimmied out of her booty shorts, grinning as she managed to kick them up onto the bed post. The panties followed, sadly missing the post but still landing on the messy bed.
The doors to the wardrobe swung open, two massive mirrors on either door reflecting Mikaela's naked form as she cocked her hip and evaluated the dresses with disdain. Rows of 'proper' clothing lined the racks, with 'appropriate' skirts and 'skank-free' options available. It was like a forty-year-old virgin had picked out what a teen should wear to church.
Mikaela's eyes lit up as she spied some new additions. Apparently, someone hadn't gotten the memo that Mikaela was all too happy to mangle clothes into something that bordered inappropriate. She brushed her wavy brown hair over her shoulder, auburn eyes glimmering with mischief.

"Try to keep the garden in view of the shots," Alice said as she fluffed her hair for the picture, smoothing out a few errant strands of her wavy hazel locks. "We spent good money on the landscaping, I want it all in there."
"Of course, madam mayor. It's a lovely backdrop for us. I think that'll really give you a softer vibe that the suburban voters like."
This photographer was much more agreeable than the last. When the last one hadn't been complaining about lighting, he'd very obviously been checking out her tits like she was a stripper for his amusement. It was a fine line to walk, conservative enough for church, but daring enough to look relatable. Just the slightest swell of her creamy bosom in her buttoned shirt, the fine thread of powerful yet feminine.
That photographer had been a little perv, and Mikaela's interest in his constant erection also hadn't gone unnoticed. This one was far better. He might also be gay, considering he didn't even spare her tits a single glance.
For whatever reason, that rankled Alice. She puffed up her chest and arched her back just a bit more, while gazing through the window onto the perfectly manicured lawn, daintily sipping her coffee. Refined and striking, yet sensuous and elegant. A woman in power.
"Beautiful. Hold the cup down just a bit. Perfect."
After several more minutes of posing, Lilith descended the French stairs, a slight disapproving strain around her eyes.
"Madam, Miss Mikaela is arriving."
Alice kept the groan to herself, only imaging what the little skank was going to come down in this time. Just before she'd had to fire the last photographer, Mikaela had paraded around in stripper heels and a WAP shirt that hung down to her butt-cheeks. Nothing underneath, of course. That girl just wasn't made for high society.
"Oooh, very chic," the photographer commented as Mikaela descended into view. "Reminds me of the Girodani line from last fall. So daring."
Definitely gay.
Mikaela seemed to delight in taking heavy steps down the stairs, each impact causing her obviously braless tits to jiggle beneath the sundress top. What made it all the more obvious, though, was the leather corset she had fastened, which only highlighted how her tits shook freely. She had obviously been at her wardrobe with scissors again, as a slit that ran the length of her hem ended high on her hip, showing off that she wore nothing underneath.
"Well mother, just as you asked, I am here, and dressed nicely," Mikaela said with a flourish, bowing deeply and giving everyone in the room a glance down her heavy cleavage.
Alice had practiced her smile for hours, so hiding that her skank of a daughter was irritating her wasn't a problem.
"And you look lovely, dear. Come, sit here and take some photos."

It had been worth it to see her mother's fake smile shudder for just a moment, the edges of her lips twitching in obvious anger. But she couldn't be improper, not in front of 'the help'. So, all her mother could do was stew while Mikaela flaunted her goods for the photographer. Shame the old one was gone, he'd have been pitching a tent the whole shoot.
Well, it had been worth it at the time, but now that it was all over and no one was around, her mother didn't have to hide behind the mask anymore.
"One hour! Was that so much to ask for? One hour for you not to dress like a whore!" Her mother was really getting going, her cheeks flushed with anger. It was hard to keep the smirk off Mikaela's face. "You laze around here all day, do absolutely nothing of value, and all I ask is that you sometimes show up and not fuck everything up!"
"I thought you didn't want me in the public eye anymore, mother," Mikaela said with a sweet voice that belied the venom beneath.
"Don't you even start with me!" Her mother's finger stabbed at her like a knife. "Do you know how many of your exploits I've had to bury? I have reporters up my ass about everything you do. You are a God damn liability!"
Mikaela gasped in mock shock, fanning herself with her hand. "Mother! How could you use the lord's name in vain? What would the congregation think?"
That did it. It was like she could see the steam blasting from her mother's scrunched face. Surprisingly, and perhaps disappointingly, nothing was hurled at her this time.
"Fuck the congregation and fuck you!"
If only she had a video camera. This was gold.
"Is there anything else, mother? You know I do so love to stand here while you scream at me. It's not like I have anything else I'm allowed to do."
"I should have shipped you abroad," her mother spat. "At least then you wouldn't be able to fuck up the election cycle. Again."
"Oh, we both know that's not true," Mikaela chuckled. "Those colleges aren't very good at keeping people like me quiet. And I can get into so much trouble unsupervised."
"Don't. Remind. Me." If looks could kill, her mother would be gutting her right now. Real Dexter level shit, with tarps all around the room. "Get the hell out of here. And don't even think about leaving the house. I have enough problems without another fuck-up running around out there."
"Oh? Where did father go off to?" Mikaela said sweetly.
