"Damn it."
Bent forward slightly so that she could see herself in her dresser's mirror, a pouty frown on her face, Trisha tried again to get the headpiece that would finish off her costume settled just right. She wanted her hair to be styled perfectly but still conceal the headpiece so that only the cat ear's would be visible and every time she got it in just the right place it would slip.
"Damn it," she said again just under her breath as her frustration grew.
It was Halloween and she was going to be late for the costume party she was attending if she didn't get moving soon. Everything had to be perfect though or there wasn't any point in going at all. The entire "in crowd" was going to be there, including the hunky guy she had her eye on just now, and it would be social suicide if she were anything less than a goddess when she walked in the door.
She had picked out a black cat costume to wear which included some very high heels, a black body suit with a tail attached to the butt that hung all the way down to her ankles, and that annoying headpiece with the cat ears. She had decided against a mask since the whole point was to get the guy she was after to notice how pretty she was and so she'd just colored the tip of her nose black and drawn three lines on each cheek for whiskers. The costume was completed by a little collar around her neck that was hung with a little bell.
"Damn it!" she muttered as the headpiece slipped out of place again.
The body suit had presented her with a problem. She had gotten one that would fit her like it had been spray painted on in order to show off her perfect figure, but she was dismayed to discover that it fit her so tightly that she could plainly see the outline of her underwear through it! It would have been humiliating to go out in public like that, but it was easily fixed by wearing nothing but her birthday suit underneath it.
This presented her with some new problems however. The suit was uncomfortable and hot and she was already getting a little sweaty inside it, but the real problem was that now instead of showing off her underwear she was showing off her . . . assets. Looking at herself in the mirror, she could clearly see the puffy nipples that tipped each firm breast and she was already getting a cameltoe and a wedgie.
Advertising everything she had to offer would certainly win her that guy's attention, but the eighteen year old doubted she would even be able to get out of the house dressed like this if her mother noticed. Her only hope was to slip out quickly, preferably while her mom was distracted.
The sound of the ringing doorbell shook her out of her thoughts suddenly, startling her just enough to make her jump and dislodging the headpiece just as she had gotten it perfectly settled. Another group of children must be on the porch begging for candy.
"Damn it!" she snarled a little louder than she'd intended as she went back to struggling with her headpiece.
She didn't have to worry about her father or her little brother catching sight of her thankfully. Dad was taking Billy around the neighborhood trick or treating tonight and she had heard them leave just a few minutes ago. Her Mom was staying home to man the door and handle whatever little monsters showed up though and so remained an obstacle.
Finally satisfied with the positioning of her headpiece and getting it quickly pinned so that it wouldn't go anywhere, Trisha took a deep breath and looked herself over in the mirror critically to make sure she looked absolutely perfect. Only when she was satisfied did she turn and head out the door.
The trick now was to get out of the house without her mother getting a good look at her and throwing a puritanical fit.
Peeking into the living room, she found her mother right where she had expected her to be. The older woman was seated on the couch with a big bowel of candy in easy reach, watching television as she waited for the next group of monsters to turn up on the doorstep. Taking a few deep breaths to prepare herself, Trisha launched herself into the room.
She had to get through the room quickly so that her mother didn't have the chance to get a good look at her and so she walked across the room as quickly as she could without actually running. She spoke so quickly and breathlessly that it was hard to distinguish individual words, "I'mleavingforthepartynow,Mom.Seeyoulater."
"Freeze, Trisha." Her mother Constance's voice was deep and powerful and brought the girl to an immediate stop right in front of the door.
Since she was facing the door and knew her mother couldn't see her face, Trisha allowed herself a small grimace before pasting on an expression of casual curiosity and turning to face the older woman. She was hoping to pretend that she had no idea what her mother's problem might be, but her voice betrayed her as she whined more than a little defensively, "What?"
Constance rose to her feet, scowling at the girl and putting her hands on her hips. "You are not going to any party like that, young lady."
Trisha looked down at her herself blankly as if she couldn't see what it was that had set her mother off. "Why not? What's wrong with this?"
"Oh?" Her mother didn't seem to like that answer and marched right over to grab hold of her by the wrist and literally drag the protesting Trisha back through the house to the master bedroom. "Let me show you exactly what's wrong with it!" The girl really had no choice but to follow, teetering so much on those high heels that she very nearly went down more than once.
Behind them at that exact moment there was a knock on the door and the sound of what must have been a sizable group of kids waiting on the front porch for some candy. They were ignored and after only one more try moved on to another house where they hoped their luck would be better.
Trisha found herself standing in front of the full-length mirror in her parent's bedroom when Constance finally released her and she was able to get her feet back under her. She started to look down, certain that her mother must have bruised her wrist by manhandling her like that, but the other woman came up behind her and reached around with one hand to grab her by the throat firmly enough to keep her head up but not to choke her.
"Just look at yourself, Trisha! My, God. You might as well be naked as wear that thing!"
Trisha was just a little startled to be treated so roughly by her own mother, but that would be nothing compared to how shocked she would be about what Constance did next. Trisha was so stunned that she couldn't make herself move a muscle when her mother's other hand found the zipper that ran up the back of her body suit and started to pull it down slowly.
Seeing her mother's face in the mirror, Trisha almost didn't recognize the woman. There was an expression on her face that she had never seen on anybody in her entire life and it scared her just a little. The zipper had been pulled all the way down to just above her butt and the attached tail by then, but still the girl did not move. She just stared into the mirror in fascination as if she were watching a TV show or movie instead of seeing something that was happening to her in real-life.
The gust of cool air that blew down her back as the clammy, clinging body suit was opened was an undeniable relief, though.
It was kind of difficult to pull down the top of Trisha's body suit one handed since it clung so tightly to the girl's flesh, but her mother would tug down one side and then the other until she had exposed her daughter's shoulders, her chest, and then her firm breasts. Having her own mother undress her finally shook the girl out of her near paralysis and she started to squirm, but the older woman's hand on her throat tightened just enough to discourage that.
"See?" Constance purred, her voice husky and her breath hot on the girl's ear. Reaching around Trisha, her mother ran a slow, caressing hand over the girl's breasts which made her nipples nice and hard. "You can see just as much when you're topless as you could when you were wearing that silly outfit."
