Chapter 126.
Kaiya knocked. The door was opened almost immediately by a young woman with an open face, a good figure, brown eyes, and black hair cut in a rather old-fashioned style. She was potentially quite good-looking, but dressed tastelessly in a yellow tube top, a beige off-the-shoulder cardigan, a black leather flared mini-skirt and red ankle boots. To make matters worse she was wearing far too much makeup, which looked as if it might have been applied by a ten-year-old. Despite her rather juvenile appearance, Kaiya thought she must be about her own age, nineteen. She made a mental note to take her in hand if she got the chance. When her gaze alighted on the visitors her eyes widened with delight, and she actually squealed with innocent surprise. Turning her head, she called excitedly back into the house,
“Mum! They’re here! Come an’ see!”
Barbara and Kaiya exchanged glances. Bobby sighed. They heard footsteps approaching.
“Well ask them in then, Chantal.”
Polly Hunniford appeared, and jostled her daughter to one side. Even she was taken aback, and momentarily struck dumb. But she recovered quickly.
“Come in, come in… The girls are just having a drink…”
The “girls” – which is to say Eleanor, Diana Murchison, and Danielle and Tracey from Diana’s party – were arranged around a big dining-table decorated with bottles, glasses, and bowls and packets of snacks. Eleanor gaped, Diana smiled, and the other two looked mildly surprised.
“You didn’t tell us he would have two chaperones,” remarked Danielle, looking the girls up and down. “Never mind…”
Eleanor alone rose to her feet.
“ No, sorry Danielle… Nicole was insistent Bobby should be an ornament and nothing else…”
“Really? How disappointing. However, would you like to introduce us?”
“This is Barbara, this is Kaiya, Miss Bowditch…” began Bobby.
“Eleanor, please, Bobby… Gosh… You look so different… That’s a beautiful…I mean, it suits you so well… I’d never have guessed…”
“Thank you, Eleanor. Polly and Chantal you’ve met, and this is Diana….”
“And you’ll remember Danielle and Tracey from the party, I’m sure…unfortunately Cheryl couldn’t make it today...”
Danielle was looking him straight in the eye. He could hardly forget. But he replied, politely, “Yes, of course… Hi.”
“Oh, Bobby,” said Diana, with a smirk, “I was rather hoping you’d appear in that fetching little number you wore to my party. Never mind. Your companions rather make up for it, anyway. And you have a delightful aura of innocence instead…”
Introductions dispensed with, they were invited to take a seat on the sofa – which they did, Bobby again in the middle – and offered drinks. They chose fruit juices with sparkling water and ice.
“Chantal, would you…?” began Polly. But Chantal was staring, apparently mesmerised, at the girls.
“Chantal!”
“Sorry mum!” And she hurried out into the kitchen.
She quickly returned with the tray of drinks, but still couldn’t take her eyes off them, Kaiya in particular it seemed, and her hand was shaking as she handed her her lime juice.
“Do you like my outfit, Chantal?”
“Y-yes… It’s beautiful… And white leather… I mean, it so unusual, but on you…it looks fantastic!”
“Thank you. We were very lucky. We couldn’t have afforded these, but Bobby’s aunt Nicole… I mean, she knows this place…”
“That Nicole,” remarked Diana. “She seems like a woman with a secret. Bobby? What does she actually do? I never got round to talking to her properly.”
“Oh, my aunt? Well, you know…” He thought quickly, playing for time. “This and that… Er, I believe she’s some sort of investment adviser… I don’t know much about it…sounds pretty boring…”
“Boring but lucrative,” murmured Diana, cattily, under her breath.
“I’m so glad you could come, Bobby,” began Eleanor, sitting down in an armchair. “I mean, you really made Diana’s do for us – isn’t that right, Diana? – and here you are, in yet another gorgeous outfit, and your companions…well…”
“Pity that little girl’s not here,” grinned Tracey. “Do you remember her, Bobby? What was her name now? Milly Mandy, was it?”
“Mélisande,” said Diana.
“Oh, yeah. That’s right. Mayli…whatever. She knew how to keep you in check, didn’t she?”
“So… Are you going to be a good girl today, Bobby?” asked Diana. “Oh, I do hope not!”
And they burst into raucous laughter.
Eleanour seemed to have had a fair amount to drink already, and was beginning, after the initial shock, to gain confidence. She addressed Kaiya.
“Darling, would you mind if I had a look at your outfit?”
“Not at all, madam,” said Kaiya, pleasantly. Indeed, she rose from the sofa and presented herself in front of Eleanor. Her sudden proximity seemed to take Eleanor aback – she flinched, as if fearful Kaiya would draw her whip and strike her. But then, in her white leather shorts and boots, her dark face framed in glossy white latex, she did present a daunting spectacle. Kaiya, an amused smile on her lips, pressed home her advantage.
“Feel the leather, madam. It’s so fine and supple. So comfortable to wear.”
She slid her right leg forward between Eleanor’s knees. The top of her boot came half way up her thigh, leaving only a few inches of smooth brown flesh between it and the turned-up hem of her tight shorts. Eleanor hesitated, but seeing she couldn’t get out of it, touched the leather with trembling fingers. Even her friends at the table craned forward, while Chantal, standing at the end of the sofa, clasped her hands together and compressed her lips. Kaiya resumed her seat.
Their costumes, together with a little advice from Nicole, had bestowed a new confidence on the girls. For the first time they felt truly powerful – more than the fragile power held by any attractive young girl, a sort of inner strength and the confidence to make decisions for themselves. They had already made up their minds that they were going to be dedicated assistants in Nicole’s dungeon, and learn the business. They had discussed it, and realised that unaccompanied, their beauty and youth, which they had previously considered their greatest assets, could also be potential weaknesses. They were already studying with a view to becoming self-employed entrepreneurs, but they now wanted to learn the practical side of the dominatrix business, to enable them to understand how to use men to their own advantage, and to remain impervious to romantic advances. In short, it would grant them power and independence. Even women such as these, twenty years older than them, would have to treat them with respect.
Bobby took advantage of the distraction to touch his nipples, which were throbbing furiously. They felt smooth and slick. Glancing down, he realised the pink lip gloss had rendered them shockingly conspicuous under the thin, translucent mesh of his blouse. But the worst thing was that they were the source of sexual arousal in a way he had never experienced before. The pressure inside his boy-ball had become severe, and though of course the container was quite rigid, nevertheless it could still quiver and twitch, lifting the front of his skirt slightly. Barbara had noticed this, and was regarding the phenomenon with some amusement. Bobby returned her smile with a look of desperate discomfort.
