NIGHT OUT She helped me out of the limousine. We were on a dark side street in what had to be the red light district. No one was close by, but the lights and noise from the nearby thoroughfare were like a carnival. I fought my handcuffs and made a little frustrated, angry whining noise, but she took me by the pony tail and shook me once firmly, then held me face-first against the car while she unbuckled my gag and unlocked the cuffs. The first thing out of my mouth was "I'm not going to..." at which Cissy shook me again and said "Pet!" in the voice she used when the very next thing I said would get me punished. I stood there trembling and sniffling, rubbing my wrists, while she gave me instructions. "Pet, you are fond of using inappropriate terms to describe the role of a House girl, and it's time you learned the difference firsthand. All I expect of you tonight is to accomplish your task and get back to the House by yourself. If you can do that, you will not be punished, and you will have gained an important new perspective. I know that you think this will be difficult, but you will find that it isn't if you can simply discipline yourself and do as I've told you. A taxi home costs about twenty-five dollars. Once you have the money, get a cab and give the driver the card in your purse. There is nowhere else you can go even if you knew the city. And Pet..." she paused as she was getting back in the car, chillingly beautiful in her boots and furs. "Do NOT make me come find you." The huge limo hissed away and I looked around, frightened by how alone I was and desperately trying to think of a way out of my situation. I looked in the little purse for the first time, not knowing what I was hoping for, and found hardly anything. Lipstick, a compact with powder in one side and mascara and eye shadow in the other but no mirror, a hairbrush, the card with the address of the House and a pack of long menthol cigarettes and a lighter. Not even a quarter for a phone call! For a minute I thought of just trying to hide and wait for morning, but just then a door slammed up the street, away from the lights, and a man's angry, drunken voice yelled something I couldn't catch. Terrified, I hurried toward the thoroughfare, trying to keep my balance on the slick pavement in my five-and-a-half-inch mules. I had trained in them at the House but this was the first time I had ever worn high heels on the street. Halfway to the corner I stopped and looked at myself in a shop window, putting on lipstick and trying to keep my tears from messing up my mascara. The maids had given it an extra effort when they had made me up earlier. I took my hair down and gave it a few quick strokes. Then I got my first good look at my dress. My breath caught and I almost started crying again. It was hopelessly brief. I had popped a nipple out of the scooped neckline while brushing my hair, and it was already erect from the cool breeze. I pulled the stretchy little micro back up over my huge boobs, and the hem rode more than halfway up my ass. On the third try, by putting my purse under my arm and using both hands, I got both my nipples and my bottom covered. I hadn't taken three steps before I could tell by the chill that my cheeks were partly exposed again. At least the tight spandex kept my heavy breasts somewhat under control, but I was totally humiliated to think that people were going to be able to see my vagina if I wasn't really careful the way I moved. Maybe even if I WAS careful. I bit my lower lip, blinking back my tears, and then mentally kicked myself for messing up my lipstick. Back to the shop window and fixed it again. Dammit, Pet, stop sniffling! This was so confusing, so unfair. 'This isn't me,' I kept thinking over and over and over. 'I don't look like this. I don't act like this. I'm not LIKE this!' I hovered around the edge of the lights at the corner, wracking my brain for a way to get the money other than by doing what Cissy meant for me to do. I didn't think I was capable of it. Ever since I had been brought to the House and Cissy had explained to me what a House girl is, I had refused to even consider it. But what were my options? I had nothing to sell, nowhere to go, nobody I could talk to except at the House. For the first time, the House seemed like a refuge to me. Any man I talked to outside would probably try to jump me. I could be abducted, raped, God only knew what. Any woman on this street would see me as foreign competition. I had no ID, so the cops would assume I was a hooker and arrest me, THEN probably try to jump me. I was so frightened. All I wanted was to be back in my room. There, if I was good I wouldn't be punished and I was getting used to my training. The only people I had to please were Cissy and the Instructors. The other girls wouldn't bother me even if they were jealous. They were busy with their own training. Finally I couldn't wait any longer. Someone was going to notice me anyway. There were crowds of men and a few women, cruising between the clubs, topless bars and peep shows, laughing and carousing. I gave my dress a last hopeless adjustment and started up the street to the right, staying close to the wall. I didn't get far before the catcalls and whistles started, and at that moment it came to me that I was making it worse by trying to hide. Mademoiselle Marienne, the Posture Instructor, had talked about it a million times. Her cold, intense tone came back to me. "Carriage is a projection of self-image, young ladies. Show the world that you are weak and insignificant, and you will be treated disrespectfully. Show the world that you are special and impressive, and the world will beg to please you." I made myself try, and as my months of posture training took over I held my head higher, boobs thrust out and back arched. To my surprise, my dress fit better this way. I gave the hem a little twitch and it stayed down as long as I kept my chin up and my shoulders back. It even covered most of my butt. I started handling my heels better and took short, balanced steps, knees straight, a bit pigeon toed like a runway model. Right away the noise slacked off; the watchers buzzed among themselves instead of making rude noises. By the time I got to the end of the block, I was almost strutting. In the street lights I could see that my dress was a shiny emerald green, setting off my coppery red hair. For the first time in my life I got a real gut-level taste of being an attractive girl, a sexy girl that people WANTED. It was humiliating and shameful and wild and powerful. But it wasn't getting me any closer to home. I ducked into the quietest bar I could see close by, a dingy little place with a curtain instead of a door. It was very dark inside and smelled like a dirty carpet soaked for years in beer. I tried not to make a big entrance and still keep my posture, but I got noticed anyway. The men in the booths buzzed. I headed straight for the refuge of the ladies' room, and touched up my makeup in the cracked mirror. I needed to pee, but couldn't make myself use the filthy toilet. I would just have to wait. Lipstick perfect again and so nervous I was getting hiccups, I ventured back out into the barroom. There weren't many people inside and they were mostly in the shadowy booths. The bartender was a fat, bald man right out of a movie. I minced over to the bar, chose the stool second to the very end, and froze as I realized I had two problems. One, I had no money for a drink even if I knew what to order, and two, I could think of no way to get up on that bar stool, even with my long legs, without showing the entire establishment my pussy. I had to do something, do it right away, and do it gracefully. Heart pounding, I put my purse on the bar and made it up as I went along. It turned out to be a kind of slither, knees tight together, one hand on the stool and one hand keeping my boobs in my dress. It worked all right considering how bad it might have been, but when I was settled I realized I was sitting on the leather of the stool, not the fabric of my dress, and if I could have looked past my bosom I would have seen my cute little shaved pussy exposed to the whole world. I crossed my legs, quick. With problem number two behind me, problem number one was looming. The barkeep was on his way. I had to stall him until I could think. Reflexively I picked up my purse and opened it, not looking his way, and he hesitated halfway down the bar. Once I had my purse open there was only one option. Never having smoked in my life, I started right then. The pack was full but already opened. A good thing because I would not have known how. I watched myself in the bar mirror, trying to look nonchalant and elegant as I lit my first cigarette, put my lighter away and blew smoke at the ceiling. It tasted awful but had an immediate calming effect. I marveled. Had Cissy, somehow, known I would have to do this? He was on his way again and I didn't really have any better plan than before. It crossed my mind wildly that I should tell him the truth, that I didn't have any money at all and could use a drink anyway, but before he arrived a voice on the other side of me said, "Um... Hi." It was a serviceman, a sailor I guess, young and not terribly good looking, with an embarrassed but determined look. He had been sitting with a couple of similar guys when I came in but I had barely noticed in my rush for the washroom. Now he had obviously decided to say something to me, but when I turned to him, relieved to be rescued from the bartender, he seemed to get stuck. His buddies in the booth snickered. "Hi," I said helpfully in my best contralto. What on earth was wrong with him? Then it hit me that he was frozen by my looks, confronted by an exceptionally beautiful girl. No, I corrected, confronted by an exceptionally sexy girl. I watched him try twice, and he could NOT take his eyes away from my cleavage. An incredibly devilish feeling swept me. He tried to tear his eyes away again. I arched my back just a little bit. He failed. I blew more smoke at the ceiling. The bartender was waiting and I finally let my new friend off the hook. "I can't think of what to order," I purred. Purred, also for the first time in my life. "What do you think?" From that point on, it was pretty easy for a while. I had a glass and a whole bottle of pretty inexpensive champagne in front of me, a benefactor on the next stool who seemed so overawed that he didn't even try to put his hand on my leg, and for the first time that night I had some options. Paul wasn't much of a conversationalist and whenever I didn't want to answer a question, I could turn to give him a little deeper view between my boobs and he would forget what he'd asked. I was learning fast. I found out a couple of typical things about his life story, and I had my third glass of champagne, my second cigarette, and I even made a quick foray to the ladies' room and back ( to do my lipstick again, I was getting kind of obsessive about it ), complete with a repeat performance of getting up on my barstool. Paul might have seen the barest flash of my pussy before I got my legs crossed. I thought of asking him to loan me twenty-five dollars, but I just couldn't bring the conversation around to it. Visions of Cissy and what she expected me to do tonight, where that twenty-five dollars was supposed to come from, kept going through my mind. She was going to ask me about it and I had learned that I positively couldn't lie to her. She would punish me herself, this time, if I didn't do what I was supposed to, and I had good reason to fear her punishments although they never physically harmed me. So I talked to Paul, whom I had decided was kind of nice, and had another glass of champagne, and then I began to notice something disturbing. I was getting wet. By now my barstool had wiggled over a few inches somehow and my thigh was up against Paul's, and I was getting wet. Since I had come to the House that had never happened unless Cissy made it happen, which she could do any time in any of a hundred ways. But it had never just happened. Now my naked sex was right against the leather of my barstool and without meaning to I was rubbing it when I moved, and I was feeling it, getting slippery without any really direct stimulation. In the back of my mind, crazy confusion began to form. Again and again I thought, "But this can't be happening. I'm being forced to do this. I don't want to do it!" And further back in my mind, hidden in a kind of secret place, a little voice whispered, "Or do you?" Finally, the situation resolved itself the only way it really could. I was going to lose my chance. I had unintentionally pushed a breast up against Paul's arm a couple of times and I'd had a couple more glasses of champagne and my nipples were getting very obviously hard. In fact, my boobs themselves felt swollen and kind of hot, almost itchy. I just took a deep breath and leaned over and told him in a whisper what I wanted to do with him and how much it was going to cost. He seemed just a little taken aback, but he had the money and what could he really say? I had another cigarette and another glass of champagne, and he went and had a word with his awestruck friends and then we left together. I was noticeably tipsy and he helped me down off my sex-partner barstool and escorted me out the back door to the parking lot. The decision made and my new hormones raging, I was feeling fey and wild. As we walked I took his arm. He put his hand in the small of my back, I moved it down to my ass and settled it there firmly. It kind of helped keep my dress down. I almost as tall as he was, in my mules, and he had to take very slow steps so I could keep up. I was walking pigeon-toed again, and switching my ass back and forth a bit without even meaning to. When we got to his car (it was a big pickup truck) I didn't even let him unlock it. I gently pushed him back against the door and put my boobs up against his chest and bit him on the ear. He gasped. His jacket was over his shoulder, and I took it from him and dropped it to the ground at his feet and started kissing him. He seemed totally entranced, his eyes might even have been closed. I shoved my bosom hard up against him again and slid down the length of him to my knees. My mouth was at the level of his belt buckle and I clicked my teeth against it gently, teasing him. He had taken his wallet out of his pocket, and I took it out of his hand. Barely remembering what I was supposed to be doing, I took out twenty-five dollars and put it in my purse, then put my purse on the ground beside me. I reached around behind him and put his wallet in his back pocket, then opened his belt buckle and his pants, dimly remembering to be careful not to break a nail. The physical reality of his penis stopped me for a moment. I kept thinking that I didn't want this, I didn't know how to do it, and if I did it I would be somehow changed forever. But my little voice, the whispering one, argued that I DID want it, I had to learn sometime, and I was already changed forever. That last part, anyway, was certainly true. I kissed Paul's cock, stroking it gently. I was just a little afraid of it. It got bigger. I stroked harder. I tasted. Then I licked. His moans encouraged me. I tasted again. Then, heart thumping and breathing hard, I took it in my mouth. It was pretty big for me, for a first time. I slid it in as deep as I comfortably could, then slid it out and licked some more. A warmth was growing deep in my belly, down near my crotch, and my nipples were so hard. This time when I slid it in, I slid it in a little DEEPER than I comfortably could, and I started to move my head in regular strokes. Somewhere during the next few minutes, I started moaning with him and truly sucking. I forgot everything except what I was learning at that moment. I had one hand around the base of Paul's dick and somehow got my other hand down between my legs. My massive boobs had come out of my ridiculous little dress and were pressing against his thighs, stimulating me even more. My incredible new body took over and didn't need my brain at all. Everything I tried seemed to work perfectly. Part way through, I learned how I could get the full length of his cock down my throat for a second if I didn't breathe. When Paul finally exploded, I had my hand on his ass, my nose in his pubic hair and my lower lip against his balls and I felt his climax like it was happening inside my own body, which it sort of was. We convulsed together, he groaning and I unable to make a sound. In a way, despite everything Cissy had done with me, I had never been so penetrated, so soundly fucked. Paul recovered slowly, gasping, and so did I. I had actually come, fingering myself, right after he had. He asked for my number, still tongue-tied as he watched me try to get my tits back in my dress. I didn't have a number to give him. I said I might see him again in this part of town, but I wasn't sure. It occurred to me that I could tell him I needed a place to stay. But I would have had to tell him some reason why, and I couldn't tell him about the House or who I was, and I wasn't thinking straight enough to make up good lies. Anyway, being a sailor he probably didn't have a place for me to stay. In the end, letting him go felt right. He drove away and I breathed a deep sigh, trying to sort out all these new feelings. Paul seemed so different from men I had known in my previous life, but my little voice said that what was different was me. I WAS different, I had changed, whether just now or gradually, over time, I couldn't really tell. I turned to the car parked next to me and looked at my reflection in the window. Who was that strange, seductive girl? I wondered incongruously if they had any more of these little dresses at the House, maybe black? Cissy had had the maids tie me to my dressing rack to get me into this one, it was the only way to make me hold still enough. Now I realized that I wanted to try on some others. Why did I want that? I wondered how I'd look with my hair piled up like Shelly, a girl in class everyone thought was really lovely, or with my makeup different. Cissy had given me a little shiny purple thong bikini a few weeks ago when I'd sort of accidentally been good, and I'd petulantly thrown it in a drawer and refused to wear it. She said since it was a gift, I didn't have to wear it if I didn't want to. Tomorrow, if I could, I was going to see if it fit. New feelings were washing through me faster than I could keep up. I thought of Cissy again and now, when I wanted so badly to be back at the House, it came to me how she always took care of me, and I realized for the first time how it hurt her too when I fucked up and she had to punish me. It being past midnight, and being alone in a parking lot in the worst part of town, I stopped philosophizing. I got my heels on and straightened my dress and my hair. I had lost most of my lipstick and I redid it in the side mirror of a car. My foundation and eye shadow still looked pretty good. I kept to the shadows until I got around to the thoroughfare. But when I stepped onto the sidewalk I lifted my chin and my boobs high, and walked like I'd been trained to. Instead of going to the curb and waiting for a cab, I walked up the sidewalk hunting for one. I lit a cigarette without stopping, casual as if I'd been doing it for years, and blew smoke at the sky. People stared, I stared back. When a taxi came down the boulevard, I stepped to the curb and stopped it with my boobs. I just put my hands on my hips, pulled my elbows back and held them out where the driver could see them and brakes squealed. As I swiveled my long, long legs into the back seat, I wondered whether I could go to a police station or something, tell the story of my kidnap and try to go back to my former life. I wondered, but only for a second. Fingering the first twenty-five dollars I ever made doing something I really wanted to do, I handed the goggle-eyed driver Cissy's address card and blew smoke out the open window. ***** In episode 5, the House suddenly seems different to Pet. Can it really have changed so much, or is it Pet who's different?
