“I’m nice to all my clients even when I’m beating the shit out of them. Nice means treating someone how they want to be treated. Tonight you want to be treated with gentleness. Next time maybe you want to be treated with pain. Sounds nice, right?”
Sheridan smiled. “I might not say no.”
“Good. Now lie down on your back and breathe. Breathe slowly and deeply. I’m going to put my hands on your legs, but that’s it. I won’t touch any other part of you without warning you first.”
Sheridan obeyed but not without tentativeness. Every line of her body vibrated with fear as she rolled onto her back and slowly stretched out her legs. The Mistress decided to let the fear work in her favor. Adrenaline rushes made for beautiful orgasms. Adrenaline... The Mistress had a thought.
“Sheridan...” The Mistress placed her hands on Sheridan’s thighs right above her knees. “Were you scared when you were with Rex?”
“No. Yes.” She laughed as The Mistress began to rub her thighs. “Scared isn’t the right word. But he was older than me. I was...intimidated maybe. Rex was definitely intimidating. Strong, silent type. Sexy. Smart. I could never quite believe it was happening even when he was inside me.”
“With your most recent boyfriend, did you ever feel scared or intimidated?”
Sheridan shook her head as The Mistress made slow, easy strokes with her hand up and down the girl’s thin legs.
“Not a bit. Brett was so nice, goofy, a very sweet guy. Like a big kid.”
“And you let him fuck you?” The Mistress asked with mock horror.
“I feel like I should apologize to you, Mistress.”
“No. No need,” she sighed. “The damage is already done. No wonder you couldn’t orgasm. Must have been like letting your brother try to fuck you. No sexual tension equals no orgasm especially for a woman like you.”
“A woman like me? What am I?”
“You’re a sub. No doubt in my mind.”
The Mistress continued to caress Sheridan’s bare legs. The girl wasn’t more than five feet tall, but half of that was leg.
“Like a submissive?”
“Exactly like that. You need to be dominated to feel sexual, yes? Intimidated? Overpowered? Maybe even a little scared?”
“Yes...yes, definitely. That’s exactly it. Nothing Brett did made me feel anything. I thought I loved him because I liked him so much.”
“Liking can get in the way of lusting a lot of the times. Some of my best orgasms have come from men I wanted to beat into unconsciousness. You know, after they were done fucking me.”
“It would be nice to be with someone who makes me feel like it’s, I don’t know...”
“Like it’s an honor to be with him? Like you’re his personal sexual property? Like you exist just to spread your legs for him whenever he orders you to?”
“That, Mistress.”
“I know the feeling. Trust me.”
“I kind of...I sort of feel that with you. Kingsley said you weren’t taking any new clients. Too busy. Too in demand. But you made an exception for me.”
“Of course I did. I saw you.”
Sheridan blushed. The Mistress slid her hands between Sheridan’s thighs and gently pressed them apart. They opened easily for her. Good. Tension helped with an orgasm. Terror didn’t.
“I’ve topped royalty,” The Mistress said, wanting to remind her new client just how lucky she was to be in her capable hands. “Real royalty with bodyguards standing right outside the door the entire time. Rock stars. Politicians. Millionaires. Billionaires. I could name them and you’d faint from shock that they were in the scene. That’s how important I am. That’s how busy I am. But Kingsley told me about you. I watched an interview you did. The reporter asked you if you had a boyfriend. I’ve never seen a sadder, faker smile in my life, Little Miss.”
“I like that,” Sheridan confessed as The Mistress caressed the sensitive skin of her inner thighs.
“Like that I’ve topped rich and famous people? Richer and more famous than you? Or liked that I watched your interview?”
Sheridan shook her head.
“I liked that you called me Little Miss.”
Once again, The Mistress was seized with a nearly unconquerable urge to kiss the girl. But she restrained herself. Just barely.
“Glad you like it. That’s what I’ll call you from now on—my Little Miss. Now my Little Miss needs to take a deep breath. I’m going to start touching more of you—arms, stomach, hips and breasts, in that order.”
“Yes, Mistress.” Sheridan nodded her nervous little head and The Mistress moved in closer between Sheridan’s open thighs.
First, as promised, she started with Sheridan’s arms at the wrists and stroked upward to her shoulders with dancing fingertips. Delicate shivers passed through Sheridan’s body at the lightness of the touch.
Second, she brought her hands down Sheridan’s arms to her wrists, again pressed tight to her sides and crossed over to the girl’s trembling stomach. The Mistress laid her hand flat under her rib cage and felt the muscles flutter underneath.
Third she tickled Sheridan’s narrow girlish hips with her thumbs, tracing the bones.
“You need to eat more, Little Miss.”
“I eat all the time, Mistress. I promise. I just can’t gain weight. I’m going to look fourteen forever.”
“There are worse fates—working for Kingsley, for starters.”
Sheridan gave a little giggle.
“I like him. Is he really that bad?”
“Terrible. It’s impossible to get any work done with him around talking French at you and being all suave and seductive. Sometimes I fuck him just to shut him up.”
“Poor you, Mistress.”
“Tell me about it.”
As Sheridan dissolved again into laughter, The Mistress slid her hands upward and covered the girl’s breasts with both hands.
Then the laughter stopped.
The Mistress smiled. Just the reaction she wanted.
At first, The Mistress did nothing but let the heat of her hands seep into Sheridan’s body through her breasts. Under her palms, she felt Sheridan’s nipples harden.
“You have beautiful breasts, Little Miss. Perfectly shaped. Beautiful nipples the color of pink roses.”
