Mark walked into the main lobby of the government building and after a brief wait presented himself, and his request to start a business, explained his situation as a free male. After a brief internal consultation operated by an AI, he was told to wait. After a surprisingly brief wait he was told to head to a room on the third floor where an authorized agent would hear his case. He proceeded to the indicated room, and knocked on the door.
Vivian stood up from her desk as she heard a knock on the door. Her heels clicking as she stopped at the door. She wore a metallic jacket with a black undershirt. Along with black pants, her blonde wavy hair rested on her shoulder. Opening the door she gazed at Mark with her bright green eyes smiling widely.
"Hello you must be Mark. Come in and have a seat."
Mark entered and took a seat. He wore dark sweatpants, running shoes. and a t-shirt covered in odd custom symbols, white on dark green. His hair was dark and well trimmed, though his face showed signs of stubble.
Vivian closed the door once Mark entered, she walked over sitting at the desk she pulled up her chair, tucking it in. Her breasts slightly bouncing as she did so.
"I've been told you are here to make a request if I'm not mistaken. My name is Vivian and I will be the agent to hear your case."
Vivian's bright green eyes gazed at Mark as she spoke in a calm tone.
"Yes, I'd like to start a business. I work well with AIs and would like to start a network of assistants and voluntary information brokers that the AIs I design run. I would run it from home, or from anywhere. I need permission to make the business official, and to have a "home". I can't because I'm single. You know the law."
Mark hoped that this would be a simple formality. She had access to his record, he assumed.
Vivian opened a case file with his name on it. Looking through it she scoffed.
"Let me get this straight you are single, and want to open a business. Mark is it? What are the benefits of having a business?"
Vivian remained calm glancing at the file then to Mark and back.
"Yes, my name is Mark. Well, it's really the only way I can get financial independence. I can't own the home I live in, or any other, and I need a business in order to do anything, really. So yeah, there are a lot of benefits."
Mark did seem a bit bitter at the general helplessness of his own situation. His file notes that, while he has a spotless legal record, that he is also on record as objecting to state policies, rejecting potential owners, and enjoying femdom erotica in private, none of which was illegal, and the latter being actively encouraged.
"I see. Those are great benefits."
Vivian glanced at his record, along with his interests.
"This seems plausible your record is spotless which is good. Though I see you don't agree with your situation along with state policies. Why don't we discuss that, it's obvious you put yourself in this situation being that you are still single."
"Yeah, that always gets brought up. I disagree with the policy of enslaving males, which I know, is obviously self-serving. I have friends who are slaves and they are happy with it. Their mistresses tolerate me, I'm even friends with some of them. I've been on dates. I've simply never met a woman I trusted enough to hand over the reigns to her. I could say more, but I know I'm being watched. It's probably already there."
Mark nodded at the file Vivian held.
Vivian smirked listening to Mark.
"I see, so you just haven't found the proper woman. You disagree with enslavement yet you enjoy femdom erotica during your personal time. What would you do if you find the right woman?"
"Talk with her of course, get to know her better, have my AIs get me a second opinion of her. I'm sure you know that guys don't think straight once we get a woman in our heads. That's one of the reasons your slave programs work so well. As far as femdom goes, it's a fun fantasy, not a good state policy. I can trust a video to not actually control my life, if you know what I mean."
Mark smirked and leaned back.
"Of course, there's the part where you'll say that having a woman control my life is exactly what I need, right?"
It's clearly not the first time he's had a conversation like this.
"Well if there is consent then it's not entirely controlling his life. Though the program can be very effective. You can trust a video yet not a woman. That is very interesting, men tend to not think straight thanks to a woman."
Vivian smirked as she spoke.
"What would you want a woman you trust to do with your trust?"
Mark, nods, understanding the logic of the question. Dates had asked him exactly that.
"The kind of trust I'm looking for is complicated, which is why I haven't found it yet, I assume. I know that if I get into a relationship with a woman, she'll enslave me, mind and body. It's state policy. There are a bunch of different ways that can happen, but the end result is the same. Her will over mine, always. I think I could trust a woman with that if I felt she understood and respected my will enough to not step on it, to guide it where I would guide it. Which runs exactly counter to the point of the policy in the first place. Ladies know best, and men need them to control their lives, that men's will always gets them into trouble, when left to itself."
"I see, trust needs to go both ways. You like the idea of being consumed by a woman. Yet you want to wait for the right woman who you completely trust. Slaves can be very happy especially if their Mistress respects them. As a woman with many slaves under my belt I know that there is no relationship of trust without respect. There is a mutual benefit. My slaves enjoy being consumed mind and body by me. And I enjoy giving pleasure to my slaves. Of course I am a large advocate for free will where my slaves can beg all they want for me to dominate them. I do see the perks of being single no one to report to, being independent. Though being single you don't get satisfied when you are all pent up. You need a woman to consume your entire body and mind. Woman were meant to capture the cocks of men with their labia. While their breasts are symbols of their superiority and the power they have over men."
Mark nods. He's heard all the theories before.
"I know about our biological design. I consider myself a 'conscientious objector'. I don't think it's right what we're doing as a society, regardless how much I personally might enjoy it, if I could find the right woman. I like to think I can passively defy feminine power by refusing to be controlled. I can look at my body and tell that I'm designed to be controlled, but like you said, trust goes both ways. I don't want to live a life of blissful mindlessness. I want to think, to act, and I don't think I could live with being controlled from beneath like many women do where they let their slaves feel like they're in control. I'm not old fashioned like that."
"Being old fashioned isn't bad, our society has given men's bodies a way to be pleasured by superior women. So if you saw a dominant woman giving you an enticing offer you would passively turn her down? Wouldn't your primal desires have something to say? I find it boring to have someone completely mindless, to the point a man is a puppet, I want to hear the moans, the begging, feel that last thread of resistance before I break it. The look of adoration mixed with desperation is addictive to say the least. Wouldn't you want a tight pussy to engulf your cock?"
Vivian was casually having a conversation with Mark, trying to see if any of her words would cause a reaction.
"I have turned down offers before that made me hard just hearing them,"
agrees Mark, nodding solemnly.
"Pleasure alone isn't enough. I value my freedom too much, and a Mistress I could trust with it... just hasn't happened yet. As for the pussy... of course. It's what I'm made for, after all. I can imagine what it might feel like, though I've never actually felt one before. How does it feel for you? How does it feel to capture a cock between your legs, and watch the eyes of a man as you play with his will?"
Vivian's smirk widens thinking about her pussy enveloping a cock.
"It feels incredible, the way my pussy tightens around a cock as it engulfs it. His will crumbles at that point. While he succumbs to my superiority. What does it mean to you to trust someone? Actions, words?"
