Copyright (c) 2019 by Fugue
Lisa Dawes was a businesswoman that always kept very firm control of her business, and of her life. That's why her adult stepchildren were so bewildered when her newest partner Richard could get her to do ... well, just about any damned thing for him.

-------------------
My mother, Lisa Dawes, was a fairly successful businesswoman.
We weren't rich or anything, though we weren't poor, either. She worked her way up through the company, an advertising business, until she soon ran it.
She adopted me when I was born, just like she'd adopted my stepsister, Lydia, two years earlier.
For Lisa, having children may have initially been the whole "Angelina Jolie" thing - accessorize your outfit with a designer child. The definition of "successful businesswoman" included children, with husband optional. And Mom was nothing if not determined to be successful.
But however we started, we grew to be a real family. Mom made sure we had everything we needed for school, including loving support. When she was 14, Lydia helped her little brother as I was struggling with History in school. And when I was 15, I got my ass kicked one time by three guys that had been bothering Lydia. They were all two years older than me, but I'll tell you what: I did enough damage to them that they never harassed Lydia again. Ever. And when each of us graduated high school, Mom was there, beaming.
I love my mom and sister, just like they love me. And THAT'S the definition of "family."
Mom never married. And she never kept a boyfriend too long. I always imagined that she just ... had them service her, and then discarded them before they started thinking they had a claim to anything. That's the sort of no-nonsense approach Mom took toward everything in life.
Mom was ... imminently practical. And definitely pretty. My stepsister Lydia was pretty too, but more in a "cute" way. And, sure, Lisa would use her looks to her advantage when it behooved her. Underneath it all, she was a practical businesswoman, and she used the tools she had available - especially when I was younger and she was still climbing her way up the ladder at the company.
Every bit of that changed when she started dating Richard.
I was 19. Lydia and I were both still living at home, going to community college.
And Mom ... started acting very unusual ...
Richard and Lisa took Lydia and me out to a restaurant to celebrate their third week dating.
Richard - get this! - had the obtuseness to say to the waitress, "And the lady will have a salad and the shrimp plate." With Lisa sitting right there beside him. He just freaking ... ordered FOR her. With her right there, perfectly able to order for herself. Normally that would earn him a castrating lecture and sudden severance of any relationship. He'd be on his ass on the street, never again worth a second thought from Lisa Dawes.
Instead, Mom just quietly said, "Thank you, dear." Her eyes not even coming up in fury from the table. She just ... softly thanked him.
My eyes flicked to Lydia, who was looking back, wide-eyed, at me. Where was the sudden explosion? The harsh death of all Richard's hopes and dreams? The grinding of his testicles to paste between the mortar of his own stupidity and the pestle of Lisa's stiletto heel?
To say that that was "subdued" for Mom was an understatement. It crossed my mind to ask later if he was ex-CIA, with access to those interrogation drugs that lower people's willpower or something ...
I exaggerate a little, but ... wow ...
"I don't trust him! That's not the Lisa I'VE known all my life," Lydia led with when she poked her head into my room later that night.
She walked over and sat on the corner of my bed to share notes on Mom's date. "Since when does Mom let ANY man order her meals for her? Order ANYTHING for her?"
"Maybe," I tried, "maybe she's 'fallen in love' or something." Love makes people do stupid things, right?
"Doug, this is MOM. Lisa loves US. But no MAN is going to push his way in." She gave a bitter chuckle, "Let alone start running HER life!"
"It wasn't her life. I was just dinner," I felt obliged to point out.
"I still don't trust him," she said as she stood back up. "I hope she drops him soon."
I shrugged, and she wandered back to her room.
But Mom did not drop Richard. He hung around. And lasted longer than any of Lisa's other boyfriends.
And it wasn't just him ordering her dinner for her. Lisa seemed almost ... submissive toward him.
Mom was never a "huggy" person, but Richard was always holding and grabbing and feeling Lisa up.
Liberties he took right in front of Lydia and me. Liberties that pissed Lydia off to no end.
"Goddammit, Richard, you are a PIG!" she snapped at him as his hand moved rhythmically underneath Mom's skirt. Lisa was sitting in his lap, her arms around his neck. And she kept sighing as her eyelids drooped down, a smile spreading on her face, over and over again.
Even Lydia's outburst wasn't enough to disrupt Mom's happy sighs at however Richard's hand was entertaining her under her skirt. "Lydia, go to your room," she commanded sternly, the contented smile not even dropping from her face. Lydia stormed off.
Me? I just found it bizarre that he brought out the ... "cuddly" in Mom. I hadn't even known she could DO "cuddly" ...
One night, about 10:00, I was doing homework in my room when I heard Richard call from Mom's bedroom, "Doug? Hey, come in here for a moment, please? I could use a hand."
It normally takes no effort to talk me into taking a break from homework. So, "Yeah, what can I help with?" I wandered over to Mom's bedroom. "What did you- YIPES!"
Mom had her- her breasts were out- just ... in the open where-
I mean, she was stripped down to her panties, her breasts just bared, blushing furiously as she sat on the bed, her eyes cast down and leftward to in no way meet my eyes. Her right wrist was loosely tied with a silk scarf to the bedframe. And her left hand was extended toward me, a second silk scarf dangling from her grasp.
"I- I- we- whuh-?!"
Richard - in just a pair of underwear! - chuckled. "Yeah, my little snookum likes her kink," he said. About Mom. About very nearly naked Mom. About very nearly tied naked to the bedframe ... Mom ...
He gave another chuckle. "Hey, could you tie her other wrist to the frame over there for her?"
What-?! The-?!
"Mom? You- you WANT this?" I asked, bewildered a little numb.
Several moments of thick, hot, humid silence hemmed and hawed from one leg to the other, REALLY uncomfortably ...
"If not, I can-"
"I DO want this, Doug," she blurted. Then shivered slightly. "I- I ... NEED this." Eyes steadfastly never moving anywhere near me. "PLEASE, though- please don't mention this to Lydia. PLEASE."
"I ... won't. Trust me, I won't."
I ... loosely tied Mom's wrist ... to the bedpost. For ... whatever reason that she ... wanted it ... It was loose. If she wanted to, she could definitely pull free from it.
No, it would light a fuse in Lydia, if I told her about THIS - Lisa topless, LETTING HERSELF be tied to the bedframe?! Lydia would EXPLODE over that. No way was I going to-
"Thanks, Doug," Richard smiled, "We've got it from here."
I was excused, and ... wandered back to my room. To ... sit on the bed.
Wow ...
Although ... Lydia somehow DID catch them too. Or maybe Richard let them be caught.
She stormed into my room like an indignant walrus. Her body was still cute, that is, but her emotions were flopping about like a humphing, indignant walrus.
"He had her in there, Doug," she raged, "TIED TO THE BED! Topless!" She walrussed slightly to the left to shake her fists in impotent rage, then walrussed back, full-on to me. "Mom- just- LET HERSELF- be TIED to the bed!" A little walrus to the right, Fists of Rage again, then back full-on. "She just LET this man- bind her up, HELPLESS!"
I just agreed with Lydia that it was outrageous. That Richard was a pig. That Mom NEVER behaved like this. Never mentioning to her that I ... had helped tie one hand up myself ...
Things got really stormy for a few weeks then. Lydia demanded that Richard go, that he get the HELL out of ALL our lives.
Richard calmly explained that he and Lisa were in love with each other. Mom cooed and nuzzled Richard's neck. As his hand faintly moved rhythmically beneath her skirt.
Fireworks ensued.
"What a PIG!" Lydia raged in my room. "But she WON'T LISTEN TO ME! Mom is- so much- BETTER than him! How can she- STOOP to-
"How can she STAND for him to-"
Lydia LOATHED Richard.
And ... I got the feeling she'd be moving out soon. That made me sad, but ... NO WAY was she going to stay in the same house as "that man!"
Lydia did grow closer to her boyfriend, Greg, over the next few weeks, as Lisa's doting on Richard drove Lydia further away from her family.
Lydia was cute, and much softer than Mom, but she DID have Mom's steel in her when she needed it, as Greg found out. His kitten began issuing commands, and soon he'd proposed, and they set a date, and Greg found himself married and rescuing Lydia from her home life of hell of late.
Still, Mom partially upstaged the bride, with the risquοΏ½ little red dress she wore for Richard to the wedding. A number of people paid more attention to the hot minx in red than to the plainer bride in the long white dress.
Lydia and her husband moved into their own apartment.
At least she was free now. Richard couldn't infuriate her anymore with his perverse ways with Mom.
