Though this story focuses on a person's path to full sexual freedom, it has very strong elements of non-consent (the bad kind), with overtones of threatened incest. If any of these offend you, it is probably best that you find another yarn.
Payment In Kind
Chapter One: Installment Number Five
I heard the front door of my law office open and close. The clock said 5;35 p.m.--not quite quitting time. I registered the brief animated conversation between my secretary Penny, and Delta Ann Rucker, my former client. I hustled to complete the last paragraph on the brief, I had due tomorrow. Penny's excited East Texas twang contrasted nicely with Delta's liquid contralto. Laughter rippled forth from the front room, more evidence that both women genuinely enjoyed one another's company. I closed the file and the program and sent the brief to Penny to proof. It was all over anyway. The moment Dell walked in any prospect of doing serious work went out the window.
"I'm taking Winnie to little league," Penny yelled.
"Fine, see you tomorrow," I yelled back. I'd hired Penny years ago out of college primarily because she was perky and very friendly on the eyes. Golden blonde, with elfin looks and an athletic figure, she'd won me over with a smile. What an idiot! I had quite accidentally hired the best legal secretary and office manager in the history of legal secretaries and office managers. There was not a single detail that escaped her. She had seen me through the death of my wife Dorothy from cancer and helped pick me up off the floor, both figuratively and, on occasion, literally. She had a job with me for life.
Penny knew to smoothly disappear when Dell showed up. I had never said anything. Dell certainly hadn't either. Penny just knew her continued presence wouldn't be appreciated in the way a lineman knows not to get too close to the transmission wire. Way too much crackling energy. Though she had been a client for some time, Dell was not coming to my office for legal advice. Dell was coming to make an installment payment on her bill--an in-kind payment.
My cock began to swell, and an anticipatory ache spread through my crotch. Dell's stiletto pumps called out
click, click, click, clack,
as she slowly down the hallway towards the back of the building and my office. My mind oscillated from sexual fantasy to useless inanities. I envisioned her hips swaying back and forth as she walked away from me, marveling in my mind's eye at the strength and firmness of those fine orbs, just as I had when I stole peeks at them the first time I 'd met her. These prurient thoughts were chased by
I'd heard that tip of a stiletto exerts more pressure than an elephant's foot
,
or was it an alligator's tooth?
I'll never understand my own mind, much less others'.
I looked at my hands as they hovered over the keyboard. They trembled, of course. They always did when Ms. Rucker came around.
"Good afternoon Mr. Betts," Dell said as she stood in the door to my office. "I'm here to make another payment on my bill." Dell did not owe me a penny--never had. This "installment fee" thing she had dreamt up was completely imaginary, a construct of Dell's mind that I was at first too perplexed to fully understand, then just too plain grateful to refuse.
"Have a seat on the couch," I said curtly, not bothering to look away from my computer screen. The persona that I put on during these recent sessions with Dell felt so odd and out of whack. I was not completely certain where Dell and I stood. I either loved her, or at least lusted for her with a constant and caring obsession that was very akin to love. She had come to occupy my thoughts both day and night. Though her own feelings were doubtless still mired in a haze of uncertainty caused by a seventeen-year long hellish marriage, Dell seemed to reciprocate. And despite the strong feelings we had for one another, we never quite took a typical approach to love and sex. Dell liked...no, "liked" was far too mild a word--demanded that we execute her unusual fantasy of a desperate deal and the control it evoked to feel comfortable laying with me.
I was, by nature, a boy scout, I always had been. My folks raised me to get up on time, make my bed, do my chores, be kind to my pets, take responsibility when I screwed up, and to expect the same in others--even if I didn't get it. But this bombshell of a woman had come into my life with her own story, twisted though it was. I had come to appreciate how different her history was from mine and to relate to her on her terms. So, I suppressed my urge to hug her tight and stayed in role.
She was magnificent, as always, so stunning that I had to consciously override my institutionally panicked disbelief that she had voluntarily chosen to be with me. She was tall, at least 5' 10," maybe more, with hair so silky black that it looked blue. Her skin had an olive tint, perhaps from a long-distant gypsy background. Her eyes were dark brown and wide set above high cheek bones and a heart-shaped jaw line. Her lips were full, and sensuous. Just a gorgeous woman.
Today she wore her work uniform, except that it was not her real work uniform. It was special outfit she'd created just for me, made of typical uniform material, but tailored to be extraordinarily tight, emphasizing the enormity of her chest, the dramatic narrowing of her waist and flowering of her hips. The top three buttons of the uniform were undone, exposing nearly a third of her gorgeous breasts. Penny had seen that. No wonder she bugged out. The skirt was so short that had Dell not kept her legs crossed, she would have shamelessly flashed her pussy just by sitting up normally.
"I suppose you feel you deserve to cum today?" I challenged.
"Sir, I've come to make the fifth payment on my bill. That's all that matters. Eight sessions...that was our agreement. I keep my word," she concluded.
Total myth
I thought, and yet she acted as if ours was a contract chiseled in granite.
"Don't lie to me Dell," I answered, "I've told you before how important it is for a client to be completely honest and open with her lawyer."
"I was hoping so sir," she replied after a pause. "I've been good, and I've been completely faithful and...it has been almost a month since I was permitted the last one."
"You think you have been good?" I asked.
"Yes," Dell replied anxiously.
I shook my head in mock disbelief. "Tell me Dell, did I see you in the parking lot of the grocery just two days ago having a conversation with Bill George?"
Dell lowered her eyes to her feet and flattened the top of her skirt anxiously with her hands.
"It didn't mean anything," she said looking up. "He's in our church. He was going in and I was going out right past him. It would have been awkward if I hadn't talked to him."
"But you did much more than say hello, didn't you?" I asked. "You actively flirted with him Dell. You were preening for him like a high school freshman girl. Anyone could see it, and I certainly did." Dell said nothing but continued to stare at her skirt. Privately, Dell had always felt that Bill George was insanely handsome, a little cross between Tom Selleck and the Marlboro Man, so the questions struck a guilty chord in her, as if a private shame had been plucked out of her head and left to wriggle on the floor for all to see.
"You concede, don't you, that your inability to exercise control over your sex drive has dealt you a severe injury in the past, don't you?"
"Yes, sir."
"You agree that you must learn to exercise greater self-control over your sex, do you not?" I asked.
"I do," Dell responded.
"How am I supposed to teach you self-control if you are unwilling to exercise any?" I chided gently.
"I don't know, sir," she replied.
"You do know what the good Deacon wants don't you Dell? You must know that. He'll smile at you and chat cordially about church and this and that, but if the circumstances permitted him to do so without any negative consequences, he would breed you just like one of those heifers he is so proud of. He has a big spread. He could take you to some back corner of his place and you know what he'd do don't you?" I asked.
"No Sir," she responded.
"Ha! I scoffed. You know damned good and well what he'd do. He'd rip your top off whether you liked it or not, probably because he knew you'd like it, then he'd bend you over the tailgate of his truck or maybe a bale of hay, yank your panties down and strum you with that cock of his until you were a humping defenseless mess."
