The Pledge Mistress Ch. 01

Lisa understood that there would be some underlying tension between herself and her new boss, because both women had strong personalities. They also had similar sexual tastes, which Lisa suspected was the real reason Burnside wanted her as her assistant. There was a hidden meaning in Burnside's statement "I think we know each other and have a good idea what we can expect from each other". She trusted Lisa because both women enjoyed erotic discipline.

There were two more significant details that stood out about that morning's meeting. First, Burnside had not objected to Lisa's clothing, or lack of it, in her office. The professor understood that while she had a certain style and image she wanted to put forward to the world, her student had a very different self-image that she wanted to put forward. Burnside went for the austere and serious in her personal appearance, while Lisa went for showing off her body. Burnside might have said something had the younger woman's exhibitionism not been genuine, but in Lisa's case that was simply part of who she was.

The other issue was Burnside's warning about what would happen if Lisa "screwed up". Although her new boss had not openly said it, she knew very well what Burnside meant. If Lisa ever made any mistake as the professor's assistant she faced physical punishment. She knew that with certainty, already having endured a session with Burnside's leather switch back in February. She wondered if it would be possible to make it through several years of working under the professor without getting punished at least once...five or six years of assisting Dr. Burnside and not making a single mistake...

Ha! Not very likely.
