Control: Who Wants It?

"Howe did you get to work?" Amber did not look up and response was barely audible.

"I have a car." Jessica nodded and grabbing her purse she practically dragged Amber through the door locking it behind them.

"Can you drive?" Amber nodded shakily as they reached Jessica's car and both climbed in and Jessica drove them to Amber's car and let her out. Jessica headed home considering all that had happened in the previous hour. Once home Jessica called Mary to explain that she had the rest of the day off.

"I understand that girl seemed to be really fragile. I hope you didn't say anything to hurt her." Jessica gulped softly as she tried to answer her secretary.

"I swear I didn't say anything mean to that little girl." The response was silence and Jessica hoped that Mary wouldn't notice the catch in her throat the word "say". However Mary did not comment on this.

"Fine. See you tomorrow, will that you lady be joining us?" Jessica again hesitated before answering.

"No, I may be looking for a new second assistant, if someone's interested." Mary did not comment as they ended the conversation. Jessica shook her head as she considered what she would do, she had abused an employee for her own pleasure. However she realized that the thought of what she had done was making her wet. Jessica spent the rest of the night struggling between guilt over her feelings and attempting to relieve the result of those feelings.

Wednesday

Jessica arrived about twenty minutes late, her suit a bit rumpled, her makeup poorly applied and her eyes blood shot. Mary looked up from her desk.

"Where have you been missy and...what happened you look like hell?" Jessica barely glanced in her direction before look around almost frantically. Suddenly a cup of coffee was thrust into her hand, Jessica immediately began drinking the coffee heavily. After she had drunk about half of the mug she looked up to realize that the person who had given her the coffee was Amber.

"Is that strong enough Miss Winters?" Amber sounded uncertain, but strangely the usual nervousness was absent. Jessica nodded, feeling herself pale as Amber smiled and Jessica thought she imagined a glint in her eyes. Jessica practically ran into her office and sat at her desk. She put her head in her hands consider how she was going to get through the day, when the door opened. Jessica looked as Amber quietly entered the room.

"Miss Winters, can we talk?" Jessica nodded shakily. "I know you're upset about what happened and I admit I was freaked, at first, but it's okay I actually enjoyed it once I got home and though about it. Miss Winters can I keep working here?" Jessica felt her eyes go wide and her mouth open.

"You actually want to keep working her after what I did, I mean I basically..." She trailed off as she couldn't bring herself to finish the sentence. Amber stepped forward lightly grabbing Jessica's hand, although not consistent Amber was making more eye contact.

"Please, I like working here with you and Mary." Jessica stared into those soft innocent eyes and saw what looked to be sincerity and honest affection.

"Yes, I would like you to keep working here." What Jessica didn't say was that she still wanted Amber and to experience her as she had the night before.

Thursday

Jessica entered her office on time as she had slept better, but still feeling a bit ragged. Amber handed her a mug of coffee and Mary reminded her about the meeting with her prospective client. Jessica nodded although inwardly feeling uncertain about how she was going to face this client while be encouraging that her firm was a good fit.

"Miss Winters, Mary has been telling me about these clients and I...think I can help." There was some hesitation but she seemed more confident than before.

"Thank you, Amber I appreciate that." Jessica went to her office trying to get some work done, but she was far more concerned with the image she would present to the prospective client. After struggling to work and straighten her appearance for some time she looked at the clock to see that the time one thirty-seven meaning that she had only a short time before she had to leave for the meeting as the place was about fifteen minutes away. Taking one last look to determine the state of her appearance, Jessica emerged from her office to see Amber looking over a file with absolute studiousness, a frown of concentration plain on her face. Jessica was slow to speak, but knew she had to speak.

"Amber, it's time to go we have a bit of a drive." Amber carefully closed the file and handed it to Mary and stood up.

"Of course Miss Winters, where is the meeting?"

"A fancy restaurant with a bar, although we will not be drinking as it is still too early, the client may drink as they are from a different time zone." Amber nodded as they walked to Jessica's car.

"What do you want me to do?"

"Take notes on the important things we discuss, particularly their requirements and just try to look like you have an important role as we are trying to impress them." Amber double checked that her pen had ink as the car pulled out of the parking garage. "I'm sorry if you get the wrong impression Amber, but I hired an assistant before you and he starts Monday." Amber turned to look at her, Jessica didn't know what to make of the look, but tried to focus straight ahead.

"I know, Mary told me and I don't mind, in a couple of months I have to go back to college and I won't have time to be an assistant anyway. I'll still coffee in the morning, but afternoons will be for school." Jessica didn't know whether to be relieved that she would still get her coffee in the morning or to dread the fact that she would still see Amber on a regular basis, the thought was prompting a response and the sight of Amber's legs despite the professional skirt wasn't helping. They continued in silence with Jessica stealing glances at Amber, who was either spreading her legs or crossing them and Jessica could have sworn that Amber was also looking at her as well, but Jessica couldn't be certain. Finally when she felt that she could stand it no longer they arrived at the restaurant. Jessica pulled the car into the practically deserted parking lot and they both got out heading inside. Once they were through the doors Jessica looked around until a waiter approached them, he was in his mid-twenties, but Jessica was too distracted to take much notice.

"Miss Winters?" She nodded. "Follow me Mr. Yi is waiting for you at table seven." They followed him into the back of the dining area to a booth tucked into a corner at which was seated a Chinese man was approximately fifty years of age. He gestured for them to sit opposite and waited for them to be seated before speaking and when he did speak it was in a well-educated voice with only a slight accent.

"Miss Winters, prompt good this bodes well for our business." He spared a quick glance over them, but he swiftly returned to Jessica's face without actually make eye contact. "Well our requirements are quite straightforward, they are detailed in this file, the first page has the important information, specifics on the others." As he said this he slid a folder across the table, Jessica opened it and looked at the first page as the non-alcoholic drinks arrived, the page indicated exactly what was being asked of them and the anticipated payment, five percent higher than their usual fee for the services.

"Yes, Mr. Yi we will have no trouble fulfilling this contract and the offered price is generous." He help his hand signaling her to stop.

"Miss Winters, the prices is precisely what we calculate it should be based upon your firm's reputation and the size of the task. The only question is can we do business?" Jessica only paused briefly considering what was being discussed.

"Yes, Mr. Yi this is acceptable."

"Good, tomorrow morning at ten we will discuss the final details and sign the contract." She could only nod as he settled the bill and walked out. Jessica soon followed with Amber trailing her to the car.

Friday

The next morning Jessica entered the office to meet Amber with her morning coffee, Amber making direct eye contact as she did so.

"How is it Miss Winters?" Jessica looked into Amber's eyes and almost immediately looked away.

"Yes it is wonderful, thank you Amber." Jessica quickly entered her office and began preparing for her meeting with Mr. Yi, after she had been doing so for some time Mary called to tell her that Mr. Yi would be arriving soon. Jessica gathered her paperwork and went to get Amber before heading to the conference room to await Mr. Yi. They didn't have long to wait before Mr. Yi arrived with a younger man following with a briefcase in hand.

"Good we can begin." Mr. Yi sat across from Jessica and she handed him the contract, he glanced over it momentarily before handing it to his assistant who pored over it for several minutes before handing it back and said something which Jessica could only recognize as Chinese, but had no idea what was actually said. Mr. Yi returned his attention to Jessica.

"My assistant reports that the contract is exactly what we require." So saying he signed both copies of the contract and returned them to Jessica, who promptly signed them and turned one over to Mr. Yi. Mr. Yi stood and reached across the table, Jessica stood and accepted the hand briefly before they released.

"We look forward to working with you. Good day." Mr. Yi departed with his assistant following. Jessica returned to her office with Amber following.

"Will there be anything else, Miss Winters?" Amber's voice was eager as she made eye contact with Jessica, who quickly looked away as she spoke.

"No, thank you Amber that was good." Amber smiled softly and turned to leave.

Monday

Jessica entered the office, once again greeted by Amber with coffee. After she had drunk some of it she looked up to see that Michael Porter, her personal assistant, was taking to Mary.

"Miss Winters, Mary tells me that Amber has been filling in form, although Amber insists that this is not a big deal." Jessica signaled him to be quiet as she continued drinking her coffee.

"Amber is not qualified to be my personal assistant, however if you both stay long enough she may gain that position when you move up in the company." Having made this statement she quickly moved to her office to start the day hoping that this would mean that things would return to some semblance of normality. The day progressed much as the days before the past week and Jessica was beginning to feel that she was more herself than she had in a week. Michael was still settling in and there was the new account to deal with, but nonetheless she remained busy until suddenly there was a knock at her door. Jessica was momentarily startled at the sudden interruption, but soon recovered.

"Yes?" Jessica noted that it was almost time for the office to close. Amber entered the office slowly, but quickly made eye contact with Jessica.

"Miss Winters, I don't wish to presume, but this account was a big deal and Mary says we usually celebrate such big accounts. She is a bit worried that you didn't want to celebrate on Friday." Jessica considered this carefully before nodding.

"Yes, you're right, in fact as the workday is coming to an end, I think we should celebrate today. Do you have any plans tonight?" Amber smiled shaking her head. "Good I know a place that is quiet and not too upmarket." Amber brightened but hesitated before answering.

"Could you meet me at my dorm? I would like to change and I need to get some clothes that I need to take to the laundromat." Jessica nodded as she realized that she would also like to change and this way they would not have to return to the office for Amber's car. She nodded and Amber left as she began to collect herself to leave. Jessica informed Mary that the work day was ending a few minutes early and that she and Amber would be celebrating after all.

"That's good Missy, I thought you were turning into a sweet little girl and that would be bad for both of us." Mary smiled as she collected herself. Jessica drove home and changed into a modest but still fashionable dress that she felt conveyed that this was an important celebration and nothing more. Once she was dressed and touched up her makeup she left for Amber's dorm. Once she arrived at the large building that served as the dorm where Amber lived while attending classes at the local college. After she stopped in front she called Amber to tell her to come out. When Amber emerged moments later in a short dress with nails painted a deep, in other words she was read for a date, Jessica was quite shocked.

"Amber, why are you dressed for a date?" Amber smiled and winked as she got into the car.

"No, just a celebration. This isn't what I wear for a date." As she drove away Jessica shook her head.

"When I was your age, I would only wear something like that to meet a boy that I really liked and I wanted the date to go somewhere. What did your roommate say when you left wearing that?" Amber laughed softly.

"She asked how you were and what kind of 'equipment' you're packing." She laughed again. "She seems to think you must be very well hung. I hinted that wasn't what it was about, but I don't think she understood that you're a woman. I believe she assumes I spend my time under my male boss' desk." She smiled cheekily making Jessica feel uncomfortable. They drove in silence as Jessica tried to concentrate on the road and not on the feeling that she was losing control, of herself and the situation. However even scarier than losing control was that she was beginning to like the loss of control, it was making her feel good. At las they reached the restaurant and got out, proceeding to the doors. Once inside Jessica indicated that they had a reservation and were led to a table. After they were seated they considered the menu. Jessica considered carefully before ordering some red wine. Jessica made a few attempts at conversation, but she didn't really know what to say. When the food arrived Jessica was somewhat surprised to see Amber eating a full dish without seeming to rush or even disguise how much she was actually eating, but rather she was merely enjoying it.

"Amber, are you enjoying it?" Jessica asked with some surprise.

"Oh, yes Miss Winters, I'm not afraid about gaining weight. Thanks to you." Jessica stared uncertain of how to respond. Jessica finished her meal and decided to continue with desert, which consisted of chocolate cake with a scoop of chocolate ice cream, Amber however stuck with just the ice cream. As the evening progressed Jessica noted that Amber was drinking each glass rather completely and was not on to her fifth. Jessica was becoming increasingly concerned for her employee.

"Amber if you're done, we should go." Amber's response was slurred and difficult to understand, but it sounded something like "Let's go, dear, I can't wait." Jessica didn't want to think about what was being said and quickly settled the bill, before leading an unsteady Amber to the door. As Jessica pulled out of the parking lot she first considered dropping of Amber at her dorm, but one look at Amber, who was giggling and muttering to herself, told her that she would be better off taking her home, although this filled her with dread. However if she was being honest with herself it was also exciting as well. As she got out to help Amber, she remembered that Amber had mentioned wanting to do laundry and grabbed the bag that she assumed held Amber's clothes. Once in the apartment she decided to just run the laundry herself in her own washer and dryer. After Amber was seated in the living room Jessica was about to leave to take care of the laundry when Amber's hand grabbed hers.

"Wait Miss Winters, don't go." Jessica turned to look and what she saw was not what she expected, Amber didn't look nearly as drunk as she had before.

"Amber while we're in my apartment and off the clock I think it would be okay if you called me Jessica." Amber smiled pulling Jessica to her, who put the bag down and sat next to the younger woman. Amber didn't speak, but pulled Jessica's face to hers for a kiss. Jessica was shocked, but didn't pull away, rather she allowed Amber to deepen the kiss. They had been kissing for some time and Jessica's body was starting to react when Amber broke the kiss, her face flushed.

"Please Miss...Jessica can we go further?" Jessica nodded too turned on to resist. "Good, I'll be waiting." Amber grabbed her bag and walked to bedroom, leaving Jessica unsure of what to do next. Soon she pulled herself together and began shedding her clothing on the way to the bathroom. She was naked as she entered, she washed off the little makeup that she had on which had become somewhat smeared from the kiss. When she entered the bedroom Amber was naked sitting on the edge of the bed, lightly tugging on her nipples with her right hand and softly moving the other between her legs. Amber stopped and smiled at Jessica, gesturing for her to join her on the bed. Jessica climbed onto the bed and was about to return to kissing Amber when she was stopped by a hand from Amber who directed her to lie down. As soon as Jessica was leaning against the headrest Amber continued kissing her, soon she was so lost in the kiss that she was only aware of the burning need between her legs. However she heard a click and Amber broke the kiss. Jessica was about to ask why, when she realized that her hands were cuffed to the headrest, the cuffs were black and so comfortable that she hadn't noticed them before. Jessica turned to look at Amber who was smiling, not looking the least bit drunk.

"Amber, what's going on?" Amber laughted.

"How many glasses do you think I drank, four, five maybe? Actually I only had two, it looked like more because I kept only partially drinking each one and refilling it when you weren't looking. As a result you saw me only drinking from a full glass. Oh, I was telling the truth I did enjoy sex with you, but I didn't like the fact that it was all about you and I didn't get anything out of it. Then over the weekend I realized something, if we're going to do this, then it will be me calling the shots." Jessica thought about how the idea of losing control made her feel, but a lifetime of being the one whom others listened to would not give in so easily.

"No, Amber let me go right now, this is over I'm driving you home." Amber's smile only deepened as she shook her head. She hopped off the bed and pulled out her bag that she had hidden underneath the bed.

"Jessica I...no I think when we're alone I will call you Jessie and you will call me...mistress, yes definitely mistress." Jessica opened her mouth to respond when she realized that something was being shoved into her mouth and straps fixed behind her head. With a start she realized that it was a ball gag, while she had never used one herself, she had been to a sex shop or two in her adult life. "No, Jessie you will only speak if I allow it. Do you understand?" Jessica shook her head and tried to speak anyway.

Amber produced a blindfold from the bag and put it on Jessica. Then Amber began stroking between Jessica's legs. Jessica felt her juices flowing as she began to feel herself building to orgasm. However just as she neared release Amber stopped. Jessica moaned at being denied release. "Does Jessie want her pussy rubbed until she cums?" Jessica tried to yell through the gag, but stopped when Amber pulled and twisted her nipples. Finally Jessica nodded whimpering. "Good, when I unsnap the cuffs I am only going to adjust them and you will not try to get away, right?" Amber twisted a nipple to emphasize this last word. Jessica only hesitated a moment before nodding. Amber opened one of the cuffs and directed Jessica to turn over, head down ass up. It was uncomfortable, but Jessica did as directed, hoping that Amber wouldn't notice how wet she was. Amber however began lightly petting her pussy. "You're so wet, is Jessie turned on by submitting?" Jessica groaned and tried to nod, now blushing deeply. Amber smacked Jessica's ass, Jessica groaned into the gag.
