The car quit; it just quit. No warning, no evil noises under the hood. No, nothing so civilized as that, it just quit! Vanessa stormed and whacked the steering wheel, only hurting her hand.
"Shit, shit, shit!" she said to the close, warm southern darkness, "BMW's are not supposed to just quit! I mean come one!"
But then another thought flashed through her head: "Maybe nobody ever told BMW's that."
There was a giggle in that but she realized that this was not a time for giggles. Here she was on the way home; she decided to take this damn 'short cut' on the back roads and her flashy German car just quit.
She sat and thought for a moment. Then she remembered that she'd just past a bar a little bit back. It looked like the kind of bar that would be called a 'road house.' She also remembered that as she passed the bar she was really tempted to stop for a drink.
She'd had a fairly long day but the business that brought her out this way was settled satisfactorily, and it would be a short day tomorrow. (That had caused her to smile and say to herself:
"It shows that heaven smiles on women lawyers!")
At least she hoped that was the case.
She struggled to bring herself back to her situation, and that caused her to focus once more on the 'road house'.
"Do I really want to go in there?" she asked herself. "You might not have any kind of choice, babe," came the answer from the sensible part of her mind immediately.
"A road house," she mused, "That sounds so interesting."
The twinge about having a drink there came back in force. She knew she needed to be careful about those thoughts. She didn't want to lose herself in them, and begin to act out.
Frequently Vanessa had assaults of what she privately called her 'dirty thoughts'. It always involved her in the same kind of situation.
She leaned back in the seat for a moment and let the tension flow out of her. She let her thoughts go there. In that area her 'dirty thoughts' she was always 'nessa' the 'nigger' slut. (She would allow herself even to use offensive language like that, when in her 'subservient' moods.)
The scenario changed usually subtly but there was a sameness that carried her thoughts along. The fantasies were usually ones where she, respected lawyer, got to give in to her slut side. She wallowed in those thoughts, when she allowed herself. She was used. She had a mouth for cock sucking, a throat to have pricks rammed down into it, an asshole for raping, and a pussy that was simply available.
They were powerful thoughts and at times overwhelming but she tried to only give in to them, when she was alone and could play with herself, while engaging them.
She shook herself out of this, when she discovered her hands had run up under her skirt and were already rubbing the silky nylon material that covered her pussy hair.
"No,no," she said out loud now, for emphasis, "Enough of that crap. We're in kind of trouble here, and the only sensible thing to do is to go to that road house back there."
("Oh, yes," she thought suddenly, "It was that word, that phrase, 'road house', that produced the sexy, dark picture and lead her thoughts into her 'dirty' area.")
She shook her head but then there was one last defiant thought:
"Maybe I'll go in there and dance in just my panties and thigh highs!" she giggled out loud at that.
She was being bad but she liked to toy with these kinds of thoughts, and she dearly loved the word 'panties'. It would set her off more surely than a word like 'road house', even though that as certainly appealing.
It made her think of panties, of feeling them as she pulled them on or pushed them down over her hips and ass. It made her think of the softness of them, of the sweet soft clingingness of them. It made her think of pulling them off and holding them to her nose to sniff the wetness of them. For she knew that her panties were wet now!)
"Shit!" she exploded then. "Get your fucking mind on business, girl," she chided herself, and pushed 'nessa' away so that she could deal with this.
She slapped the steering wheel again, exploding into "Fucking BMW!" one last time as she got out and began walking back to the bar. (She consciously refused to use the other word for the place. She just wasn't going there mentally at all.)
She approached the place with a bit of trepidation, and no little amount of anxiety. She reminded herself that this was, after all, the rural south. The place had mostly pickup trucks and could well be dangerous.
She bucked herself up then by reminding herself that she was a lawyer and could take care of herself. (And 'nessa' was safely stored for a hot meeting later at her house.)
She pushed her shoulders back and entered the bar.
Immediately a loud voice rang out: "Nigger alert!"
Instantly the bar tender, a huge man with a beard, produced a baseball bat from under the bar and banged it down on the surface of the bar, getting everyone's attention.
"None of that trashy shit in here! Stow it or get out!"
No one said a word for a moment or two, and then the level of conversation went back to what it had been.
Vanessa walked to the bar, realizing that all eyes were on her.
"Let them look!" she said to herself, as much to give herself courage as any other reason.
She knew that she looked good. Her skirt was just above her knees, and was fashionably tight. She had left her suit jacket in the car due to the warmth of the evening, and had simply forgotten to put it on. Her blouse was nylon with a small ruffle in front. If you looked really hard, you could see her soft lace bra beneath the nylon camisole that she wore.
As Vanessa approached the bar tender, she was kind of sorry that she hadn't remembered to put her suit coat back on. But what was done was done.
"Excuse me," she said to the big man behind the bar. "My car just stopped up the road a little way,and I couldn't get any signal on my cell phone. Can you maybe help me?"
"Sorry for your trouble, missy," he said to her, then he thought a moment.
Vanessa was immediately aware of him calling her 'missy'. She actually struggled then to decide if she like it or not. The word almost seemed like a caress given to a servant. But then she stopped and wouldn't let her mind go there.
"Well, Jimmy Tate is in the back room; he's the local mechanic and you might talk to him about it."
"How do I get there?" she wanted to know.
"Just follow me," he said with a smile.
As they walked he asked her about what brought her to this part of the country.
She mentioned that she was a lawyer from the city and was there to settle the Dabny estate.
"Lady lawyer, huh?" he said with a smile.
Vanessa caught herself shivering. But said to herself severely:
"No, I just won't go there."
She was determined to keep 'nessa' at bay, no matter how much her alter ego wished to come out and play.
The bartender led her to a door at the rear of the bar and opened the door for her. She thanked him and walked into the back room.
"Tate," the bartender called out; "Woman here to see you. Lady lawyer."
There were a few calls of "Woo, Woo, Woo!"
And at least one voice in the group said, almost ominously: "Black lady lawyer."
