I expect this story to disappoint you. It features female domination and crossdressing, and not much sex.
Tea has been poured with proper ceremony, each cup customized with sugar, lemon, or milk. Sandwiches on plates of floral china have been set before the ladies, followed by cake cut and delivered. For some of them, sherry has been poured in little cordial glasses.
Jane has just stepped up onto that wide, raised limestone slab beside the door from the sunroom to the original house. Formerly the outside doorstep, the stone provides a fine little speakers' platform.
The uncomfortable part is to begin.
I stand off to the side of the room, still just a bit unsteady on the painful, even higher heels she produced for me to wear for today's tea party. An embroidered white apron covers the full skirt of my tea dress, blue and purple flowers and green leaves over a pink background, I briefly wish I could take a few steps backward and disappear through the sunroom wall into the garden outside the house. I find myself wondering, again, how is it Jane has so many kinky friends willing to do this. These tea parties have come every two or three weeks all through the summer. 12 or 14 women come to each one, totaling well of 100. I swear I've only see three or four women more than once. Beatrice, the only regular, has been at about half of Jane's Saturday tea parties. These women are nearly all of an age they could be expected to have families of their own, but they manage to have an entire Saturday afternoon to participate in these little entertainments.
Jane tells her guests how much she enjoys their company, what pleasure it gives her to spend time with them, how grateful she is for their visit. I've heard her give a speech just like this at every party. Each time she manages to sound like she's never before said it at any party.
My eyes wander downward for a moment, taking in my garnet-colored toenail polish, fully visible in the strappy sandal. My fingernails, on the other hand, have a more demure shade of pink matching my lipstick.
The cadence of Jane's speech changes. I tune back in and raise my head just a few seconds before her elegant hand gestures toward me, her words describing how happy I am to participate in the party as well. They she turns to look at me.
"Nikki, dear, come here, stand beside me."
I go to join her and to face whatever challenge Jane has planned.
When she takes my hand it no doubt looks affectionate, but her grip is her firm, as if to assure I won't flee. Jane goes on and on about how my deportment has improved so much, how I am just such a refined young lady now, how one day soon I'll be introduced to society and begin to make my own way in the world.
"She has such elegant taste in clothing, don't you dear?" The smile to me seems genuine, in the instant she seems truly pleased with what she's accomplished. She does not mention it isn't my taste in clothing. She chooses everything I wear on these weekends, even nail polish and makeup colors. "Give a turn, show the ladies what you are wearing today."
She improvises variations and expects me to follow her lead, but overall the routine is familiar. These parties always end with Jane quite literally showing me to her friends.
I make a model turn on the step, then Jane insists I walk along the room and back. These ladies have seen me from all angles, I've been walking among them for the better part of two hours, making sure they have everything they want, making a little polite conversation, serving and clearing away plates and glasses. Even so, to please Jane, I treat it like a catwalk, striding slowly down, stopping halfway for a turn to the right, then to the left before continuing. At the far end, I am so close to the outside door I could simply dash for it and make my escape, but I stop, pirouette and strike a pose, hip pushed right, for just a few seconds before walking back. As I approach Jane, she is beaming, her hands raised to initiate a polite, quiet little applause. I manage to refrain from smoothing my skirt or otherwise acting self-conscious, keeping my hands at my sides as a model would.
"Perhaps Nikki has a future in modeling," Jane wondered aloud to her guests. "Her refined taste in clothing includes her underclothing. Would you like to see what she's wearing under her dress today?"
Of course they'd like to, as though someone modeling their lingerie happens at every weekend tea party. Perhaps it does for the ones Jane's friends attend. Jane unties my apron and hands it to me, I fold it carefully while she pulls down the zip of my dress. There happens to be a table at the corner of the stone slab where clothing can be set down as it comes off. I set down the apron. By then Jane is ready to slip my dress off my arms, I hold it up until she is ready to lower it so I can step out. Jane lays the dress carefully across the table, stopping to pull the waist straight so the full skirt spreads across two sides of the table.
Today I'm wearing a lovely satin camisole and matching half-slip. The satin is ivory. The camisole has pale pink, dentelle lace covering the bodice. The satin is cut quite low in front, but the lace covers more, preserving the illusion of a demure neckline until one is close up. Jane likes me to wear this camisole under a sheer blouse, the lace showing through having a pretty effect. The half slip has a kick pleat with a vee of the same lace. I am required to make a model turn so both the back and the front of my lingerie is shown. I'm lucky I don't have to walk the room again.
"My dear, are you wearing stockings?" The lady seated closest to the step asks a question easily answered by looking at my nearby leg.
"Yes ma'am, I nearly always wear stockings. It gives my legs a more finished look." It also helps to reduce me to just what I am wearing, instead of being a person.
"Yes, Martina, and you shall have quite a good look, too." I wonder if Jane has suggested things they could say, or if this exercise just comes naturally to these ladies. Jane puts a hand on my shoulder. "Nikki, dear, we're all wondering what you're wearing under that slip."
I lower the half slip to below my knees. I am must move slowly in those high heels, to step daintily out, first one foot, then the other. For me, it is about not falling over. For the audience, it is a slow strip tease so sensuous women can enjoy it. Under the slip I'm wearing French knickers matching the camisole, ivory satin and a lovely triangle of pink lace on the outside hem of the leg openings. It fits around at my waist and hips, but flairs quite a bit to the full legs. The look enhances the illusion of an hourglass figure.
I expect Martina's question has been answered more fully, because the tops of my stockings, and the garter clips holding them up, are now fuly visible below the bottom of the knickers.
"Take a stroll, dear, give everyone a better look."
While I'm making my runway walk, one of the women asks, "Jane, why on earth do you subject her to such things?" Finally, after three months of being treated this way, one of them is sane.
"Ah, Deidre, what better way to learn poise, self-confidence? If you can stay calm in just your lingerie in public, you can stay calm in any situation." As if this is done solely because it benefits me. "And," Jane adds with some amusement in her voice. "From time to time Nicki has been known to get another benefit from this as well."
I complete my walk. Jane does not lead any applause this time. I stand again on the step beside Jane, hands calm at my sides no matter how I am feeling inside.
