After her punishment, Tracey had been sent back to work in the store. It was mid afternoon, and she would have to work for a few hours before reporting to Michael to see what more he had in mind for her. In the meantime, Michael's best customer, Gwen, who had participated in Tracey's punishment, was still in Michael's office and in no condition to go out in public.
"Please follow me, Gwen," said Michael as he walked over to a side door leading to a flight of stairs. He kept a small apartment over his store, and he often stayed there while in town working late. Over the years he had gotten his wife used to the fact that he would not always be coming home every night to their large house in the suburbs. She was naturally suspicious, but given her nice live style and her own freedom, she did not complain. In fact if she were really honest with herself, she would have to admit that fantasizing about her husband's absences was a bit of a turn on. She herself had spent some pleasurable nights in that apartment.
Gwen was still in a high state of arousal and very aware of her open blouse as she followed Michael up the stairs. He had shown her how he could take charge of a woman, and she was excited by the prospect that she might be next. Too many of her men friends were either cowed by her personality or solicitous of her money.
He unlocked the door at the top of the stairs and led her into a small, but luxurious apartment. The living area had several long, comfortable looking couches, both facing an entertainment center with the largest screen she had ever seen outside of a theater. On one side was a picture window overlooking the city. Across the room was a high counter separating the living room from a small kitchen. The counter was covered with expensive looking leather that made it look more like an elevated bench. A hallway beside the kitchen led to what must be a bedroom, or bedrooms, in the back. Modern paintings decorated every wall, and the entire area was covered with a thick, cream-colored carpet.
Gwen was impressed. "I see that the jewelry business is good," she observed. "I feel overly exposed in such elegant surroundings." Smiling at him coyly, she began to rebutton her open blouse.
"Stop," commanded Michael. "If you button one more button, I will spank you, and much harder than I did Tracey." Michael's tone was very firm, and his eyes held hers. He did not smile. After observing her reaction to Tracey's submission, he knew instinctively that she would be aroused by firm treatment, and he meant to give it to her. The thought of having this attractive, wealthy woman under his control was making him very hard. Surprised that he was no longer the gracious merchant, Gwen felt a little apprehension, but also a rush of excitement, and she dropped her arms to her side. She knew she had already gone too far with this man to pretend.
"Yes sir," she said softly.
Without taking his eyes off of hers, Michael walked over to her and looked down into her upturned face. Slowly he raised his hands and placed them on the bare skin of her sides. From there it was a short distance to the underside of her bra-covered breasts, and he moved over the space with agonizing slowness. When his hands finally closed over her swollen breasts, she leaned back and sucked in her breath.
"Now Gwen, my dear, you must realize that you are in my power," said Michael evenly as he lightly massaged her breasts. "You have abused my sales clerk, who will if instructed by me gladly tell others what happened. It would make a wonderfully titillating story in the local tabloid. But I think your social position would suffer a mortal blow. So now you will just have to let your sexuality take its course and trust that I will keep your secret. Do you understand? "
Michael's threat made her weak in the stomach. Now combined with her sexual excitement was the fear that she had let herself be manipulated by this man into a position of real vulnerability. Her money and social position had always given her power, and she couldn't imagine living without them. Somehow she had to regain her control in this situation. "Now Michael," she said, "it seems to me that we are both in the same position visa vie Miss Tracey. Your jewelry business and your marriage would suffer just as much from a tabloid article."
"Ah, that's where you are wrong," said Michael with a small laugh. "I would advertise a big sale and put Tracey on the cash register and business would boom. And as for my marriage, my wife would probably be turned on by visualizing what happened. Of course she would act like the wronged woman, and her friends would sympathize, and I would have to take her on an expensive vacation, but all would be well. Our marriage has been through a lot worse. "
"Oh, what have I gotten into," cried Gwen, as Michael continued to massage her breasts.
At that point Michael knew he had her. He was constantly amazed at how many women secretly wanted to be forced to submit sexually. Not all of them, of course, but he could usually sense which ones were the best prospects, and he knew how to exploit them for his own pleasure. He had been right about Tracey, and now he would see just how far he could go with Gwen.
"Don't worry, my dear. As long as you obey me, I will be discreet. And I know you will enjoy it". With that, he took her erect nipples between his fingers and thumbs and pinched her through her bra.
"Ummmm," moaned Gwen. "I guess I don't have any choice. "
"Correct. Now come over here." Michael took her hand and led her over to the counter in front of the kitchen. "Sit on that stool and keep your hands in your lap."
Gwen sat on the padded stool and folded her hands in her lap. Michael smiled at her and rotated the stool until she faced counter with her legs under it. Then he went around to the kitchen side and sat on a stool facing her.
"You will see that you are sitting on a special stool, " explained Michael." By moving this lever, I can raise it or lower it to just the right height for my purposes."
He moved a lever under the counter and the stool went slowly down. He had pushed her in against the counter so that as the stool was lowered, her bra-covered breasts gradually rested on the leather counter top. When he saw her breasts reach the counter, he stopped the motion, and then lowered the stool a little more so that her large tits rested on the top of the counter. Her blouse still hung open, and as her tits were pushed up by the counter, it fell to the sides, leaving her breasts pushing up and out like melons in a basket.
"You see, with my special stool and soft counter top, your bra is no longer needed," Michael said with a smile.
With the index finger of his right hand Michael began to tease the flesh around her cleavage and probe down under bra, while with his other hand he lifted her chin so that her lips were level with his. Leaning forward slightly he licked his tongue over her lips and pushed his finger deeper into her cleavage. Then he kissed her and began working her mouth open with his tongue. . Gwen moved forward to meet him, and felt her breasts pushed up by the soft counter against his hand. She was getting more and more excited by the way this man was manipulating her mind and body.
He pulled back from her lips and locked his eyes onto hers as he reached behind her and undid the clasp on her bra. The pressure from her breasts in their unnatural position caused the bra to almost jump off of her mounds as the clasp was released. Only the straps over her shoulders held the material over her chest. Michael, still looking into her eyes, reached under the counter and came up with a pair of scissors. With agonizing slowness, he cut the shoulder straps and pulled the bra completely away from her body. Now her bare breasts were laid out on the leather counter before him.
"Oh my," she breathed, "that feels so good, and so sexy. "
"Yes," he smiled, "nice big breasts like yours need to be held up and displayed properly. But I am not finished yet."
Moving behind her, Michael reached around her body and began pulling a leather strap that was installed on a roller hidden under the counter top. He quickly drew the strap around her back and put the end through a bracket attached to the side of the counter. When he pulled on the free end, the strap closed around her back and pulled her up against the counter, with the bracket automatically locking the strap in place in the middle of her back. She was effectively tied to the counter.
"Oh Michael," she exclaimed, " I couldn't move if I wanted to." Then, turning her head to look at him, she added, "not that I want to."
"Only one more thing," he said with a slightly evil grin, "you must have your hands secured as well."
In her bound position she was helpless to resist as he grasped her wrists and pulled her arms behind her. Taking a wide silk ribbon from his pocket, he quickly wrapped it around and between her wrists, and then tied the end together.
"Now I am ready to begin enjoying you, my dear," he said as he walked back to the other side of the counter, facing her. "You do realize that I can do what I want to these delicious-looking fruits?"
The expression in his eyes made Gwen apprehensive for the first time since she had come into his office a few hours before. Now she was truly helpless, and he seemed to hardening in his attitude toward her. No longer were they partners in playing a sexual game. He had taken charge, and she didn't know where it was going to lead. On the other hand, it was terribly exciting. The sexual desire and tension she was feeling was incredible.
He began by pulling up a stool and sitting opposite her. Her large breasts lay before him, with the lower flesh compressed and the extended nipples resting just on top of the leather surface. Gently he ran his finger tips over the top surfaces, probing lightly to test the firmness.
"Ah....," she sighed, "if you only knew how sensitive they are."
