I don't really know how long I stood there bawling. It could have been three minutes or it could have been ten. It couldn't have been any longer because I was still standing in the same spot about ten feet from my front door. I had been lost in a sea of misery and panic.
I tried to convince myself Rachael was bluffing. She would not, could not, ruin me. Kathy would be pissed at her for being so cruel. But how could I be sure? Could I risk calling her buff? I thought back to earlier. She had talked to me in the same nice reasonable tone the whole time, only once raising her voice. It was the voice of assured power. She was confident of her position. I felt like a girl falling into rapids and about to be swept over the waterfall.
My mind scanned through everything she'd said at light speed. She'd mentioned that the video showing my punishment session did not reveal my face until the very end "by design."
Had she planned this all out that long ago? Surely not. No, she told me several times she had made the decision to take control of me, as she put it, on her own as a result of my ghosting her. How that disrespect had "pissed her off".
I cursed myself for ignoring her. But I knew it was not just ignoring her. I had deliberately avoided her because I was too ashamed to face her. Even when we met with Kathy Friday night to explain about the accident I had avoided talking to her directly as much as possible. And yet I had thought about her constantly since.
I had masturbated seemingly continuously at home reliving the events of last Thursday when she'd spanked me and totally dominated me.
I'd even fingered myself a bit when I changed from jeans to those satin sleeping shorts upon my return from my meeting with Kathy. I'd fantasized I had blurted a confession to driving impaired and despite having already been punished, Kathy had spanked me to tears over her lap. Then she'd fingered me until I orgasmed before she let me up only to tell me I owed her and demanded I lick her pussy until she was satisfied.
My fantasies for the whole weekend varied along a similar theme: Kathy punishing me and then using me as a sex toy. I could not help myself. I was so hot, I masturbated continually. My nipples and clit were still tender when I went to work this morning. The same feelings overwhelmed me upon my return home as soon as I'd stripped out of my work clothes and donned the skimpy satin shorts. Despite what I'd told Rachael, I had not stopped to shower. I'd quickly removed my makeup and set to work fingering myself.
But now I was not aroused. I was panicked. I saw myself ruined. I had to do something. I grabbed my cell and phoned Rachael. She did not answer. I got an immediate dial tone. She had refused my call. I texted her "Please don't" it said. A long thirty seconds passed before she answered. It was a meme of Tom the cartoon cat shrugging.
How could she go from "Good, you stood up for yourself" to this? I began shaking. I sent another text. "Please" She must have expected I'd beg because she answered almost immediately- 'tick tock'.
I wondered how many of the seven people she selected would even open an email from a stranger.Or download the video. And out of those how many would recognize me? It all depended what Rachael wrote in the title and body of the message.
If she said this is somebody you know well, then I know a few of my friends who would open it immediately. Sarah from work would for sure and she might recognize me from behind. We are not close friends but party together and go to the same gym where she has seen me nude in the locker room many times. Sarah has no filter or inhibitions and openly screws around with both men and women. She was a slut but not an airhead.
She would not think twice about calling me out in the office and teasing in front of everybody. If she gave it much thought, she might even do it deliberately hoping I'd resign and she'd get my position. I'd always considered her as one of those who would do most anything to succeed, even sleeping her way to the top of the heap.
I had no option. I had to go see Kathy. I paused. Do I follow Rachael's instructions about not cleaning up or changing clothes? Fuck it. If I've gone this far I might as well go all the way. I wiped away my freshest tears so I could see my phone. "On my way". I got almost to their yard when my phone chimed 'two minutes'. I sprinted.
I hit the doorbell three times and started knocking frantically. It felt like an eternity before the porch light came on and then a pause while somebody peeked through the peephole. Kathy opened the door. She was wearing a thigh length nightgown.
She took one look at me, pulled me inside and exclaimed, "My God, Naomi what happened to you? What's wrong? Are you okay?" We were in a small foyer that opened into her living room.
I took a breath and exclaimed all in a rush, "You have to stop her. She will ruin me. No time. I'm sorry." I looked past and saw Rachael enter the living room from the hallway on the other side. I just pointed.
Kathy spun around and asked Rachael if she knew what was going on. "Yeah. Seems Naomi here made a decision." She had a wide smile on her face.
Kathy lead to me her kitchen table asking me if I needed something to drink. I shook my head. My panic over, fresh tears coursed down my face. I dreaded what was coming. "You look like Hell, girl!" Kathy said as she looked me over. My bottom half was concealed by the table.
