Acquisition 2/38 (BDSM, NC, WS, VOY, HUM, FF, M+/F) by Headhunter Pam came back to Bess' house that evening after feeding her family and making sure the girls had their homework done. Bill was watching a ball game on the TV when she left her home and crossed the two backyards to Bess'. Pam knocked on the sliding glass doors on Bess' patio and let herself in. She heard Bess in the basement working out on some of her exercise equipment. She called down a hello and walked to the laundry room to do Bess' workout clothes the way she wanted them. After the washing machine was running Pam walked down into the finished basement to see if there was anything else she could do for Bess. Bess was sitting on a weight bench in one corner, lifting a dumbbell with her left arm over and over. When she saw Pam she stopped, dropped the weight, and walked right up into Pam's face. "Are you fixing your mistake from this afternoon?" she growled. Pam was surprised by her neighbor's attitude and with a meek voice replied, "Yes, Bess, I told you I would." "Good! Now sit down on this bench with me Pam. I want to talk to you and I want you to listen carefully." Bess took Pam by the arm and firmly led her to the bench and sat her down. The diminutive Bess remained standing so she would be in a superior position to the much bigger Pam. Bess held her breath for a minute and in measured words she began talking to Pam, her insides were fluttering but she controlled her nervousness. This was it, the beginning of making Pam understand how important she was to Bess and how important Bess was going to be to Pam from now on. Bess started by saying that no matter what, Pam needed to know how much Bess loved her, how special Pam was to her, and how Pam had been her savior over the last two years. She talked about what a wonderful family Pam had and how she wanted Pam to think of her as part of her family, a very special part. Then Bess, using the information she had learned about Pam's personal life and her psyche, began to explain how truly unfulfilled Pam's life was and why. Bess twisted and used all of Pam's hidden fears and self doubts. Doubts planted during her childhood and those that existed today. She ended her talk by saying that she "Bess" hadn't been helping Pam. She knew that Pam needed direction and she hadn't been giving her the direction she needed. That was going to change. Bess would help Pam by taking away all of the self doubts and decisions that were so difficult for her. Bess would be telling her exactly what to do. Wouldn't that be wonderful. No more doubts. Pam would have Bess to answer all of her questions, to take care of all of her self-doubts. Pam could surrender all of those difficult parts of her life to Bess. Bess would help her, guide her and love her. Bess would help her, now she would become Pam's savior. Also Pam would help the lonely Bess to become the person she needed to be. Pam would help her in so many ways and through it all, even the most difficult times, they each would know that the other was truly loved. Bess ended her speech and stroked the hair of the silent Pam. Then she cupped Pam's chin and gently pulled Pam to her feet. Bess placed her arms around Pam's waist and hugged herself to the older and bigger woman. After a few moments with Bess holding her breath, not knowing what would happen, she felt Pam's arms awkwardly wrap around her and she felt a warm drop splash down onto her cheek. Pam was crying, and Bess knew that she had a new world to explore with her neighbor. "Its OK my love," cooed Bess, "I'm here and you never have to worry about anything again. I will help you and we are a team." Bess held her neighbor and nestled her head on Pam's fleshy maternal chest. Holding her like this, Bess realized how out of shape Pam was. She would have to do something about that, but now to begin exerting her will over the wife and mother. "OK! Enough of this Pam," said Bess sharply, "lets go upstairs and I will show you exactly how I want my laundry done." Taking Pam's hand, she led the still dazed woman up to the laundry room. Bess knew that there were a lot of things that they would learn together, and the close human contact of holding Pam had made Bess realize how much she had been missing physical contact with other people. Every day for the next two weeks Bess told Pam when to come to her house. Pam was always on time. She directed Pam in cleaning and cooking. Very close supervision. Even though Pam did a good job with all of the tasks assigned to her, Bess would always find some little part of the chore to correct or have done differently. Pam eagerly did what was asked. When the job was complete Bess would praise Pam and usually gave her a hug, pat on the head or peck on the cheek. Pam slid very easily into the role of Bess' maid and general gopher. Soon Bess began having Pam pick up things at the store for her when she was coming home from work Toward the end of the two weeks Bess began making more demands of Pam. She would call and ask Pam to run to the store for her late in the evening, or do some laundry late at night when Pam should have been getting to sleep. Pam responded and Bess gave her more and more positive reinforcement. Even to the point of buying little gifts for Pam. Items like a new book carrier, scented soap or a nice dried flower arrangement. She would give these items to Pam after telling her to do something that required some effort on Pam's part. She would also hug and hold Pam while she told her what a good job she had done. Pam fell into this role easily and found her time with Bess as relaxing and enjoyable. She felt needed and good about herself when she was with Bess. She knew exactly what to do with Bess there were no self doubts. It was nice to have a time when she didn't have to be running a classroom or a family. Even though she worked hard for Bess is was a mindless comforting activity that made her feel good, especially when she was praised. When Bess complained that Pam hadn't done something right, she tried her hardest to do it perfectly the next time. She wanted Bess' approval. Bess had Pam tell her about activities of her daughters and Bill. Bess would tell Pam what a good job she was doing with them, but occasionally she would tell Pam to handle some family event a little differently. Later Bess would ask if Pam handled it like she told her. Pam always said she did what Bess suggested. Soon Pam was asking Bess how she should handle some little event at home or at school. Bess always told her firmly what she should do. Having these little instructions from Bess made Pam feel better and Bess could tell that not having to make a decision was easier for Pam. One Sunday, Bess had Pam skip church to mop her kitchen floors. Bess told Pam that she had gotten her a little gift that would give the two women more time together. Pam smiled with pleasure at Bess, who was sitting in a chair drinking coffee while Pam finished scrubbing the floor on her knees. "Oh! Bess, what did you get me?" "Let's go down stairs to the basement gym and I'll show you," replied Bess pulling Pam from her knees and leading the docile housewife to the basement. A gaily wrapped box was soon unwrapped and a leotard workout suit was displayed. "Pam, you never get any exercise except chasing after kids and taking care of your family and ... me. You know how important exercise and a healthy body are to me. I want us to work out some together. I can help you get into shape. You know that exercise will make you feel great and give you a lot more energy. So I am going to set up a routine for you. It will be so much fun. Now don't thank me, its the least I can do for you. I will work very hard to help you, you know." Pam was speechless, she had never been into exercise, but admired her friends fitness. She had a doubt for a minute but when her friend smiled up at her, she just accepted the idea, "I guess you're right, Ok, what do I do? Help me do this Bess." "Oh, I will. First lets try on your exercise outfit. Strip off your dress and try it on." A shy Pam was unsure. "Oh! come on," reacted Bess, "Pam you've seen me in only my panties. Of course unlike you my little breasts don't need a bra. I'm built like a 12 year old boy. Let's see if it fits. I took the size from the height weight scale. You're 5'8", right? So the ideal weight is 125 lb. for a 5"8" tall, 30 to 40 year old woman." Not waiting for Pam, Bess began unbuttoning Pam's dress. "Ok, you stand still. I'll do this," said Bess with authority. Pam finally began to move, but Bess growled, "You just stand still. Like you agreed Pam I am taking charge of exercise for you. It's for your own good." Pam slipped easily into following her friends orders. Soon her dress was off. Pam stood in white cotton panties and bra with white socks and sneakers on her feet. "Oh my Pam this won't fit you. You must weigh more than 125 pounds, you really do need exercise and a diet. At least the fat on you is layered, not cottage cheese cellulite. How much do you weigh?" An embarrassed Pam said, "145 pounds." She was blushing under the critical eye of her friend. "Well let's make sure." Bess led Pam over to a scale in the corner and pushed her on it. Pam tried to get off the scale but Bess said, "Stay there." Soon both women were looking down at the scale's dial. It read 150 pounds. Bess grabbed Pam's arm hard and pulled her roughly off the scale. "I am doing all this work for you and you lie to me Pam. You know how important health and fitness is to me, you must never, never lie to me. Understand!" Bess saw Pam's eyes well up, " I... I... I'm sorry." "Pam you never have to be embarrassed about your body with me. I am going to help you do what I say and we will have you in great shape, but since it will be such hard work for me I expect you to do exactly what I say." Pam simply nodded her head in shame. "I didn't hear you Pam." "Yes Bess, I'll do just what you say." "Good! now let's set some goals for you." Bess pulled out a large piece of construction paper and thumbtacked it to the wall. On it she wrote in big letters "Pam's Goals By The End Of School." Under it she made a row for the 12 weeks until school ended. Then she made columns for "Weight, Bust, Waist, Hips." Finally at the bottom she put a box labeled "Calories per day." "OK lets see what we have to work with Pam. Stand still." Bess filled in the box of week one under weight "150". Under the weight box of week 12 she wrote 125. Bess then grabbed a measuring tape and wrapped it around Pam's soft middle. The tape read 30 inches. Bess wrote that under waist week one. "Damn Pam," Bess scolded, "how could you let yourself go, you make me embarrassed to be seen with you as much as I'm into fitness. Now I know why you lied. I think a waist goal of 26 inches is reasonable. After all you have had two kids so a perfect 24 is unrealistic." Next came the hips. Week one was measured as 40 inches the goal became 37 and a smirk about having to "work your ass off" was made by Bess. Finally Bess simply said, "Take off your bra Pam." Pam hesitated and blushed. She hadn't been naked in front of anyone but her husband for years. "Now, Pam, you little baby, I'm not kidding." Pam slowly reached back, But Bess impatiently reached first and almost tore the bra from Pam's body. She should get used to me stripping her, thought Bess. Pam blushed and held her hands over her breasts. Bess looked at the label of the bra. It read 36-C. On the chart she wrote 36-C in Bust Week One box, then looking at Pam wrote 36-D on the last week. "This is the only part of your body that is even close Pam. Let me explain. Stop hiding your tits and I'll help you understand." Bess slapped Pam's hands away from her chest. Pam winced at the slap and of the use of the crude word "tits". "Look how they sag. I know not working out and nursing two babies can hurt. But there is a lot that can be done to shape you up. Part of your exercise routine will be weight and muscle training. These hangers can be firmed way up. But that will increase muscle mass in your chest and your tits will stand out firm and proud. That, with the extra muscle, will increase your cup size." Bess pulled off her shirt to expose her breasts. They were no bigger than some men's, topped with small pink nipples. "If I didn't lift weights I wouldn't even have this little bit of boob. Wow, Pam, were your nipples always that ugly brown color?" Staring at her neighbors little muscular torso Pam replied, "No they used to be pink like yours, but for some reason they discolored when I nursed the girls." "Well we need to get to work, lets have a stretching routine today so when we start for real tomorrow your muscles won't be so sore." Bess walked up to her friend and hugged her hard. She reveled in the touch of skin against skin. While she didn't think she was gay Bess enjoyed being enveloped by the fleshy folds of her friend's arms. "God, it has been so long," she thought to herself. Pam was surprised to be holding a half naked Bess, but somehow it seemed natural and she knew that everything would be all right. Bess had tossed Pam's bra onto the floor. Rather than make a scene Pam followed Bess through a strenuous stretching routine on a plastic mat on the floor. Soon Pam was breathing hard and sweat began to appear on her body and run between her boobs. Bess wasn't even breathing hard, but she was watching the sway and bounce of her friends breasts. Pam's white cotton panties became wet with sweat and while not transparent, a brown pubic hair shadow appeared on the white material. Bess thought, "If I can get her in shape she will have a very sexy body." After 15 minutes of stretching Bess said, "OK, we had better get a shower." Not wanting to push Pam too far, Bess continued, "You are really sweating so you go first." Bess picked up Pam's discarded dress and bra and her own shirt. She led her neighbor up to the second floor, to the master bathroom. It was wonderful leading Pam around with her only wearing panties. And she herself was naked to the waist. Pam had wanted to put her clothes back on, but Bess had picked them up. So she shyly allowed herself to be led up the stairs. It felt funny and a little exciting to be walking around almost naked in Bess' house. She even felt a not unpleasant shiver run through her body as if she were being a naughty little girl. Bess led Pam into the bathroom, looked at her for a moment then left. Bess left the door open and busied herself in the adjoining bedroom stealing glances into the bathroom. She saw her neighbor start the shower, sit on the commode to pull off her sneakers and socks and then stand and peel off her sweat soaked panties. While Pam was behind the curtain showering, Bess entered the bathroom and grabbed the discarded panties. She took them to the laundry and tossed them in the hamper. Back in the bathroom Pam was finishing her quick shower and looking for a towel. Bess entered carrying a large plush terry cloth towel. "Here let me help, you are probably a little sore." She opened the towel wide and wrapped it around the naked Pam. She helped dry the housewife, then she pulled off her own clothes and stood naked in front of Pam for the first time. "Why Pam you're blushing, that's cute." Then, before Pam could react, Bess hugged her tightly, both women completely naked. Bess whispered, "I love having you here with me," and then she jumped into the shower and pulled the curtain. Leaving a still damp and somewhat confused Pam standing motionless. When Bess exited the shower she asked Pam, who was standing in the bedroom still wrapped in a towel to help dry her. Pam did with stiff motions. "Bess, Bill and the kids will be home from church. I need to go make them lunch. I'll come back later to do some laundry OK." "OK, Pam. By the way your panties were so sweaty you can't put them back on so I put them in the hamper. You can wash them later. You could never fit into a pair of mine, so I guess you will have to run home without a pair on." Bess noticed an uncertain look from Pam. "Goodness it's only 100 feet and you will have your dress on. It's not like you are flashing the neighborhood." Pam got dressed and left, but the coolness of her exposed genitals under her dress felt funny and like before, a bit naughty. "Bess was so much fun and such a good friend," Pam thought to herself as she entered her back door. **** Over the next two weeks the exercise and weight training routine took Pam to Bess' house Monday, Wednesday and Friday evenings and Sunday afternoons. Also, Bess had written a strict diet for Pam to follow. It became hard for Pam to keep her special diet and the rest of the family meals straight so Bess began planning the entire Henderson family meals for Pam. Bill and the girls didn't know it, but their neighbor had taken control of not only their wife and mother but also many aspects of their life. On the first day of Pam's exercise workout she had arrived at Bess' house in an old sweat shirt and sweat pants. Seeing how her student was dressed, Bess immediately told Pam to strip to her panties because she needed to see how her muscles moved and reacted to the exercises. To make Pam feel more accepting of this Bess also stripped. The two women went through a 1 and 1/2 hour routine of lifting weights, stretching and even jogging on a treadmill. Bess particularly enjoyed watching Pam's buttocks and breasts bounce and jiggle as she jogged. Bess was very patient with Pam, showing her the correct form and process on each of the several exercise stations set up in her basement. Finally, as before the two women would walk to the upstairs bathroom and take a shower. They would help dry each other afterwards. Pam would usually return home without her sweat dampened panties. On other days Pam would spend some extra time at Bess', doing the cleaning and laundry. On the first night of the second week of private exercise class Pam entered the basement to find Bess already hard at work on a weight bench. To her surprise Bess was completely naked. Her skinny body was laying backwards, feet on the floor while she lifted a weight in each hand. The position completely exposed her vagina to the surprised Pam. Bess looked up and ordered, "get out of those things and get started on your stretching." Pam removed her clothes but standing in her panties next to the floor mat she was unsure what to do. She glanced over at Bess who was looking at her hard. Bess flicked her eyes from Pam's panties to the pile of her other clothes. It became evident to Pam what was expected. They had seen each other naked in the shower, so Pam simply shrugged her shoulders and slipped her panties down her legs. As Pam began her stretching exercises on the mat, some of which left her very exposed, Bess walked over and began correcting some flaws in Pam's efforts. "I have shown you these exercises for a week. I expect you to do them right. You know Pam I have been too easy on you. We will never make your goals unless we do this perfectly. I am not going to let you fail at this like you have failed at so many other things. I have loved you, given you gifts and spent a lot of my time helping you. Maybe you are one of those people who responds to negative reinforcement rather than positive. So from now on during out workouts I am going to use the "stick" rather than the "carrot". Maybe that will get you motivated to do this right. OK! You have stretched enough. Move to the leg curl machine." The leg curl bench required that Pam lay on her stomach and hook her legs under a weighted bar. By curling your legs up the machine exercised calves, hamstrings and buttocks. Pam put the proper weight on the bar and began doing the exercise. "I've told you to keep you thighs pressed to the bench for maximum benefit of the exercise. This will help you remember." Pam heard a loud smack and immediately felt a sharp pain on her ass. Pam shrieked and spun on the bench looking towards the movement . Bess looked down at her with a smug smile. She stood naked, her breath ragged and she held a Ping-Pong paddle in her hand. "Lie back down and do the set right this time." Bess pushed Pam back down on the bench. "Start again" After the third pull on the bar another hard swat fell onto the tender ass of the naked housewife. Pam finally got through the exercise with only two more hits. Bess pulled her to a bench press exercise station. Here Pam was lying on her back and she was relieved that her bottom was now out of range of Bess' paddle. The exercise worked her arms and chest. No blows fell but when she had finished Bess said, "yours arms were not held straight enough and you didn't lower the bar all the way to your nipples. Get up and bend over the bench so I can help you to do it right next time. " Pam got up and with tears in her eyes begged, "Please no, Bess. It hurts, I'll do better." Bess pushed her down so she hung over the narrow bench, her ass high in the air. "This is to help you Pam. From now on if I tell you to 'assume the position" this is how I want you, understand?" "Yes, but please... " SMACK, SMACK, SMACK, SMACK Pam was crying openly. "OK, up, and quit your bawling. Lets go do the leg lift exercise." During the rest of the workout Pam was paddled 10 more times. The worst was at the end, when she was jogging naked on the treadmill and Bess paddled her several times to speed up. By the end of the workout Pam's ass was a bright pink and Bess reveled in the power of disciplining her older neighbor. "Ok Pam, let's see how we have done. Its time to fill in our goal chart." Pam was weighed and measured. She had lost 5 pounds during the week. There was no difference in her hips or bust measurement, but she had lost almost an inch on her waist measurement. "Not bad Pam, but it will go slower from now on. There is always a big weight loss at the beginning of a diet and exercise routine." "Now lets go upstairs and shower. Upstairs there is no paddle. It stays down here to help motivate you." Tonight the two women walked through the house completely naked. Bess led the still quietly sobbing Pam into the kitchen and poured her a glass of ice water. "Here my pet, you need to replenish your fluid." Pam drank the water greedily. The two women stood in the dark kitchen naked until Pam regained control of herself. Then Bess led her to the shower and for the first time she got in with Pam. Under the hot needle spray Bess held Pam tenderly. Then helped the sore Pam by scrubbing her back and legs. When she was done she turned away from Pam and said, "Love, wash my back." And Pam did without saying a word. The soft human touch felt wonderful to Bess as Pam ran her soapy fingers in circles on the thin and wiry back. The two women dried each other gently and Pam prepared to leave. Bess picked up Pam's clothes. She handed her friend her shoes and her dress. The panties and bra Pam had worn were tossed by Bess into the bathroom with the wet towels. Since Pam had been naked during the workout her undergarments were clean and dry. "Pam wear only the dress tonight, enjoy the feel of your improving body, enjoy the feel of freedom." In a daze Pam walked home. Her breasts swaying unrestrained under the bodice of her dress, the cool night hair tickling her pubes. Bess watched her from the window and smiled. **** The next day was to prove to be a watershed in Pam's and Bess' relationship. A troubled Pam went over to her neighbor's house after school to do some chores for Bess. It was not a workout day. While she was doing some laundry that included several sets of her own white cotton panties, Bess came into the laundry room. "Bess...," Pam began, unsure of herself, " I... I'm not sure... not sure about..." "Stop right there, Pam," replied Bess, sensing that she might loose control of Pam. That couldn't happen. Pam had become the central figure in her life, she had to completely dominate her. She couldn't lose her or she would be truly alone. "I understand your confusion and apprehension, Pam. Let me help you understand better. Let me explain why you need me, need us." Without giving Pam a chance to voice her feelings Bess imposed herself on the unfulfilled middle-aged housewife once again. Bess explained that Pam had never been "just Pam." She had at first been her parent's child. Then, for a brief period, a college student controlled by schedules, assignments and professors. Then a wife and finally a mother. Bess went on to explain that all of Pam's relationships were not Pam's choice, but relationships controlled by the labels child, student, wife and mother. For the first time Pam was having a relationship with another person, a friend, that had nothing to do with what was expected of her. A relationship just for her own fulfillment, of her own choosing. It was understandable that it was happening now at her age. Her parents were dead, her husband was well established and her children were getting old enough to be OK without her for large blocks of time. If she hadn't gotten married right out of college, Pam would have been her own person then. Because of the choices she had made in her early life this was the first opportunity for Pam to be herself. After all, didn't she enjoy and look forward to their time together? Didn't her friend Bess give her freedom from all of the decisions and labels and expectations that had been pushing for Pam's entire life? Pam saw the sense of it. It was true, she was free for the first time. Bess hugged Pam and thought to herself, "I hit the nail on the head except for the part about me. Very stupid, Pam. I am just another in a long line of controls on your life. I give you the illusion of freedom, but I am the most controlling of all." Bess smiled and breathed relief, the danger was adverted and Pam was drawn in even tighter. When the chores were over Pam was sent off to pick up her girls and do some family shopping, from a list that Bess had prepared for her. As she went out the door Bess said, "Pam, I'll see you tomorrow, and I am going to have a wonderful surprise for you. You are so wonderful." Then Bess added in an authority filled voice, "Make sure you are on time." The next evening, after a very normal day for Pam, she headed across the yards to Bess'. She left her family, telling them that she was visiting her friend and having an exercise work out. Bill and the girls were not surprised. In fact, they were happy for the wife and mother. Pam had never had many friends and Bill was glad that Pam was getting out. They were aware of the diet and exercise, and were glad. Unwittingly they encouraged Pam, not knowing the real extent of the abnormal relationship between the two women. Bess was waiting for Pam when she arrived. "Right on time Pam, I'm glad you follow instructions so well. Now for my big surprise. Come upstairs before our work out and I'll so you." Bess led Pam up the stairs, but rather than going to the master bedroom Bess directed Pam to the door of what was a spare room. Pam knew that when Bess' husband had left her he had taken some furniture. The spare bedroom furniture was some that he had taken. Pam knew that the room had been empty and unused over the past two years. On the door was a beautiful hand painted sign. It read "Pam's Private Room". "Pam you need a place just for you. I don't need this room so I'm giving it to you. Its empty now, but we will have so much fun decorating it. You will be able to get away from everything in here. This room can be your refuge. You can do or be anyone you wish in this room and nobody will care. There are no rules for you in here." Pam hugged Bess, "Oh, this is wonderful Bess, I can just get away from it all in here." "Yes, and other things." Pam had not picked up on the double meaning of Bess' words. After looking at the empty bedroom Bess said, "Time for our work out." As the two women walked together Bess noticed some wet footprints from Pam's shoes on the floor. She spun and looked at Pam. "This house is kept spotless, you know that. From now on we will take our shoes off at the door. Go take your shoes off and leave them at the back door where you come in." Pam dutifully complied then rushed to catch up to Bess who was already almost in the basement. Once in the basement exercise room Bess stripped off all her clothes and handed them to Pam. "Hang these up in the closet love, you can hang yours up in there as well." Then she dropped to a mat and began stretching out her wiry muscles. She watched Pam disrobe and when her completely naked and vulnerable neighbor started back to the mat Bess said, "Pam, pick up the paddle on that table over there, and bring it with you." The nude 37 year old was worked hard and the paddle was used often. When it was over both women were bathed in sweat; Pam from her hardest workout yet, Bess from the erotic experience of slapping the voluptuous ass of her innocent neighbor with the paddle and on two occasions her bare hand. The women showered together and when Bess rubbed a soapy wash cloth over Pam's reddened ass she winced in pain. After they toweled dry Bess said, "lay on my bed for a second Pam, I need to take care of something. Pam laid down and Bess leaned over her and squirted some cooling lotion onto the fleshy buttocks. With her strong fingers Bess rubbed and massaged the cream into the prominent orbs of ass flesh. The cooling effect of the lotion caused Pam to give an involuntary sigh. Bess took her time and rubbed the ass, lower back and thighs of Pam. She reveled in the feel of the yielding soft skin bulging between her strong fingers. At one point she felt Pam give an involuntary shudder. Then Pam was off for home. Bess gave her the several pairs of white cotton panties she had left over the past few days. Pam thanked Bess and pulled on her dress. She didn't bother to put on any of the undergarments. Bess smiled at her and whispered, "Bravo, love" Pam slipped on her shoes at the back door and ran across the backyards to her home. "My energy level is up. This diet and exercise stuff really works," Pam thought as she slipped into her own home.
