Ch 3 - The Result At long last the polls had closed and now all that remained was for the results to be declared. City Hall's main conference room was packed with candidates, their partners, friends, party activists and, inevitably, representatives of the press. Despite the fatigue of campaigning – felt by all the candidates and their loved ones – there was...
Lauren reluctantly signed her name to the contract, then handed me the pen and looked completely dejected. "You've won." she said. "I have a lot of bills to cover, and you've beaten me." "Miss Newell," I replied, "it isn't my job to beat you; only to keep you in your place." "I don't know if I can do this!" Lauren burst out. "You must," I answered, "or e...
Beverly paced and fidgeted outside the Board Room. Her insides churned with a frenzy unlike her normally self-assured behavior. She knew that in a few minutes her presentation would make or break her career, and sink or save the stodgy bank that employed her. Freedom First bank faced disaster, like so many others these days. Beverly saw a way out and it dro...
I am counting the days until I win the lottery. Any day now, I will hit the lottery. "What's the number? Does anyone know what the lottery number was last night?" I've been playing the same loser lottery number now for more than 25 years, ever since the stupid thing started. Over the years, I've won a few dozen free bets, I won $10.00 a few times, and, onc...
She stood at the front entrance of an old industrial brick warehouse, having been converted to posh flats in a now gentrified former slum. A small bulb lit the door and intercom. Behind her, darkness engulfed the visitor parking lot, occasionally lit amber by a few dim street lamps. Beyond, an empty sidewalk and wharf looked over the bay. It had rained, leav...
Chapter 9: Lacie's Almost "I don't understand." Lacie said. "What does this have to do with me? I mean, obviously, I want to help, and I will if I can, but I don't see where I fit into all of this." Master and Bridget shared a look. Claire slid away from Master and crawled over to sit at the head of the big bed next to Lacie, wrapping one arm around Lacie'...
I spent my first year and a half working in the outfit working as an enforcer in Tony T's loan sharking operation. Then one cold, windy, day in December Tony T called me down to his office and gave me my first big solo assignment. Tony handed me a photograph of a thin, pale, Asian man in his mid-fifties who had an angular face and slick backed black hair th...
I love the idea of being totally subjugated by a strong dominant man; Graham who I work with is just such a man! In my fantasies he has me totally obedient to him despite me being already in a relationship, and he controls my every action. I love the idea of Graham insisting I refer to myself in a demeaning babyish way as 'ickle Allie Atkins' when I am usual...
My humiliation was sublime as the jeering women clapped my approach to the caning bench, my cock rigid as I was led like a lamb to the slaughter by Myrna, her elegant mature form shimmering in the full-length black silk cloak; the erotic shape of her womanly buttocks teasing my eyes in the silk as she strode with magnificent deliberation. I was ordered to th...
8 A Palpable Hit The lighting faded as a spotlight appeared at the far end of the room. Rosemary Kingdom stepped into the glare. "Ladies and gentlemen, on behalf of Mr and Mrs Hummings and Hummings Enterprises, I hope that you are enjoying your evening here with us in Highview Mansion. We would like to end the formal part of the evening with a display fro...
