Clothes make the Woman

As of tomorrow (November 13), Erotica By Request will be a year old. We're within striking distance of 20,000 views. Please, crash the servers and help us reach that point in the next 30 or so hours!

I know I haven't been posting all that much this month; my alter ego has been working on a novel for Nanowrimo. He's about 60% done, and when he finishes, he'll give me back the content control for our creative energies, and I'll post more stuff here. In the meantime, please bear with the lull. And enjoy days like today, where inspiration comes on hot and heavy.

I have had a wonderful experience lately. Someone I wrote a story for offered to write one for me. It has so far been a fantastic thing. So good that I wanted to write her another tale. Which is where that inspiration for today comes from.

The Costume Party


            Lisa takes a deep breath, or as deep as she can, when the doorbell rings. Moment of truth, more or less. “Come on in,” she says. “It’s open.”

            She hears him come in and close the door behind him. “You ready to go?” he asks.

            “I’m in costume,” she says. “I wanted to know what you think of it.”

            There’s a pause. “Well?” he asks. “Come on out and show me.”

            She takes a tentative step, then another, glad the carpet still muffles the sounds. Another deep breath. She glances at the mirror and checks her makeup, barely able to look any lower and actually see the costume. What if he doesn’t like it? What if he laughs? What if he just thinks she’s wearing it for the party?

            She forces a smile onto her face and pushes open the door. A few steps into the room, her heels clicking against the wood floor, and he turns to see her.

            He’s dressed up, in a nice black suit with a white shirt and black tie. He has sunglasses on; Reservoir Dogs. Technically, that fits the theme of the party, and is simple enough that he could be seen in public like that.

            His eyes start low, drawn by the sound of her heels. She can practically feel his gaze as it slides up the six inch heel, the thick platform at her toe, the tight leather of the boot. She watches him as his gaze drifts up over the buckle at her ankle, then up a few inches to the next buckle a few inches higher, then the third strap and buckle, the fourth, the fifth, and then the long lines of leather up and over her knee. He smiles at the last two sets of buckles and then seems to trace the hexing pattern of her fishnets for the brief couple of inches before it disappears into the leather pencil skirt.

            He goes past the belt, complete with the metal loops, the toys hooked into place, and starts riding his view up her corset. The breath catches in her chest, which is just as well; breathing in this thing isn’t easy.

            “What do you think?” she asks, wanting to wring her hands together but knowing that would ruin the illusion.

            “Wow,” he says. He clears his throat. “That’s, um.” He smiles. “That’s a lot of leather.”

            “Too much?”

            He shakes his head. “It’s one hell of a costume,” he says. “Is that a collar?”

            Lisa smile at him. He isn’t really asking; it’s pretty clear that the leather strap around her neck is collar, and that the spikes sticking out around it are sharp and look dangerous. “You like it?” she asks.

            He glances down at himself, possibly to see if his erection is obvious. Possibly just to not look at her. “It doesn’t exactly go with my costume,” he says. “But yeah, it’s okay. I guess.”

            She smiles at the sound of his voice, at the way he wipes sweat from his brow, at the way he shifts his feet a little bit. “You guess?” she asks.

            “Well, can you pull it off?”

            She frowns and puts her hands on her hips. She taps a long, sharp fingernail against the leather of her skirt. “You don’t think I’m pulling it off?”

            “No,” he says, verbally back peddling. “No, it’s not that. You look good. I mean you look fantastic.” He takes a second to look her up and down again, his eyes going from the tip of her boots all the way up to the tight ponytail over the black mask covering half her face. “Really,” he swallows. “Amazing.”

            “So then why did you ask?”

            “I meant, can you play the character?” He rubs the back of his neck, pulls off his sunglasses. “Part of the fun is actually playing the character for your costume. Can you pull that off?”

            She reaches into the loop at her side and draws out a long riding crop. She swishes it through the air a few times, then slaps it against her gloved palm. “I think I can manage,” she says, putting on her best sadist smile.

            He purses his lips, considering. “I’m not so sure,” he says.

            She adjusts her stance, feet spread wide, angry look on her face. “You don’t think I could?”

            He shrugs.

            “I should kick your ass for saying that.”

            His face breaks into a smile for just half a second before he manages to cover it up with a cough. “Nah,” he says, shaking his head. “I’m not buying it.”

            Lisa stands up a bit straighter and looks down at him, even though she barely reaches his height even with the huge heels. “I’m not asking you to buy it,” she says, her voice so low it’s almost a growl. “I’m telling you that I can do it.”

            His face twitches, but he doesn’t respond.

            She points down at the floor in front of her. “I’ll show you,” she says. “Get on your fucking knees.”

            He holds his hands up in mock surrender. “Ooh,” he says, “scary dominatrix is giving me an order.”

            She takes a step towards him, and he doesn’t catch himself fast enough to stop from taking a step backwards. She smiles, her lips curling with a mixture of impatience, humor, and a tiny hint of disgust.

            “Is that all it is?” she asks, her voice now lush with tease. “Big scary dominatrix?”

            He shrugs. “If the shoe fits.”

            She moves her foot a little, and smiles as his eyes dart a little too fast down to the movement. “It does fit,” she says. “You want to check?”

            “What?”

            “Get down on your knees,” she says, half commanding and half curious. “Kneel in front of me and feel for yourself whether or not they fit.”

            He smiles, his face turning a little red. “You serious?”

            “Deadly,” she says, her voice back to the low growl.

            He laughs, but it’s a forced laugh. Though his face remains impassive, Lisa is sure she can see the relief in his eyes as he sinks to his knees in front of her. He reaches forward and puts a tentative hand on her foot. It shakes a little right before he touches the leather.

            “These are nice,” he says.

            She taps him on the head with the crop. “Silence,” she says.

            “Sorry.”

            She lifts her foot a little, letting him caress the leather with his hands. Then she puts her foot back down and slips the crop under his head, lifting his chin and looking down at him with a sneer. “So do they fit?” she asks.

            “Yes,” he says, his voice a little weak.

            Lisa goes for broke. “Yes what?” she demands.

            He swallows. “Yes mistress,” he says.

            She laughs a little and takes a step back.

            “I like the sound of that,” she says. He gets up to his feet, surreptitiously adjusting his pants as he does, then blushes when he realizes that she saw him do it.

            He clears his throat again. “Our costumes still don’t match,” he says.

            “I got one for you, if you want,” she says.

            “Really?” there’s that hint of eagerness in his voice again.

            “I’ll give it to you,” she says, “If you get back on your knees and ask me for it.”

            He doesn’t protest this time, just settles back onto his knees and looks up at her. “Please let me have the other costume, mistress.”

            She considers, bites her lip a little bit. “Doesn’t sound sincere,” she says.

            He clasps his hands in front of him and assumes a begging posture. “Please oh please?” he says.

            She frowns and slaps at his hands with the crop. “Now you’re just being disrespectful.”

            “You going to punish me?”

            She laughs. “There’s a bit too much eagerness in that question,” she says. “Are you sure we’re just playing a part?”

            He blushes again, but doesn’t answer.

            “Tell you what,” she says, stepping towards him again. “I’ll forgive you and let you have your costume.” He smiles and starts getting up. She slaps the crop down on his shoulder and pushes him back to his knees. “If you prove that you’re really sorry.”

            “How do I do that?”

            She wriggles her foot. “Kiss my boots,” she says. “Go on. They’re clean; I just took them out of the box a little while ago.” It was about five hours ago, actually; Lisa had been walking around in them all day, loving the feel of the leather and the confidence that came with walking in them. “Just a peck on each toe. Then I’ll know that you really feel bad.”

            He doesn’t argue, doesn’t resist even a little bit. He just bends down, his eyes darting once to hers, his face locked in a forced mask suggesting that he isn’t taking it seriously, and presses his lips quickly against her right toe.

            He looks up at her, and she smiles down at him, not even trying to hide how much she enjoyed that. He has a brief moment where he seems to be unsure if she is making fun of him or not. Then he leans back down and presses his lips against her left foot, this time pressing much harder and lingering a little bit against the leather, long enough for him to inhale the scent.

            He doesn’t stand up, just settles back on his knees. “So,” he says after the silence has stretched out a little. “How about my costume?”

            Lisa reaches down to her belt and unhooks the collar resting there. She tosses it on the floor in front of him.

            “I can’t wear that,” he says. “Everyone will laugh at me.”

            She nods and turns around, grabbing a bag from the nearby table. She rummages inside and pulls out a small bundle of something black. She tosses it to his feet.

            He picks it up, spreading out the leather mask. He unsnaps the detachable blind fold, unzips the mouth, then unzips the back of it. He slips it over his head and zips it up, then buckles on the collar.

            “Is that the whole thing?” he asks, his face a mass of leather.

            She smiles at him. “Yes,” she says.

            “So are we ready to go?”

            She frowns. “You planning on wearing two costumes?”

            He looks down at his suit. “I can’t just go naked,” he says.

            “That’s the costume,” she insists. “You want to go as my slave, you wear the uniform I choose.” She pulls a leash out of the bag, loops the handle around one of the loops in her belt, then hooks the leash to his collar. “So take the rest of it off.”

            “I can’t go to the party naked,” he says.

            She shrugs.

            He takes off his jacked and starts unbuttoning his shirt, pulling the tie off and tossing it aside. “There has to be more,” he says, looking at the bag.

            “There is,” she says.

            He tosses his shirt aside and starts undoing his pants. Without being told, after he kicks off his shoes he slides his pants and boxers off without getting up from his knees. He pulls off the socks and looks up at her, shivering a little, though clearly not from the cold.

            Her eyes linger on his erection, and Lisa smiles.

            “So where’s the rest of it?” he asks, his voice much meeker than before.

            She reaches into the bag and pulls out four leather cuffs, each with a ring hanging off it. She tosses them at him, then crumbles the bag and tosses it onto the table.

            “That’s it,” she says.

            He puts the cuffs on his ankles and on his wrists. He looks up at her. “I can’t,” he says. “I can’t go in public like this.”

            She shrugs. “We could skip the party if you want.”

            “Then,” he swallows. “Then what would be the point?”

            She smiles. “Well,” she says, “We have the costumes on. Want to play the roles?”

            “For, um. For how long?”

            She puts her hands on her hips again. “How long do you want to play?”

            She can’t see his face, but his whole body flushes red.

            Lisa laughs at him. “Not just tonight, huh?” he shakes his head. “You want to keep playing?” He nods, no longer really able to speak. “For how long? A day? A weekend?”

            He swallows and looks up at her, then looks away, unable to maintain eye contact. He whispers something, all force long gone from his words.

            She laughs again, though without the mocking tone. “Did you just say what I think you said?” she asks. She bends down as best the boots and corset will allow her, spreading her legs wide enough for him to be able to see just how aroused she is. “It’s okay,” she says. “Just say it again.” She reaches out and rubs his leather face. “Say it one more time, just a little louder.”

            He swallows again and nods.

            “How long do you want to play?” she asks.

            “Forever,” he says, still barely loud enough to be heard.

            She smiles and leans forward, pressing her lips to his and kissing him hard. “I was really hoping you’d say that,” she says. Then she reaches forward and zips his mouth shut.

            Lisa stands and takes a few step away from him. The chain of the leash goes taught and pulls him off balance, then down on all fours. She looks over her shoulder at him with a wicked smile.

            “Let’s get started,” she says.
