A Red Dawn

Three stunning redheads were staring right at me.

Damn, Anna-Marie really chose a proper feast for me.

Speaking of which, Anna-Marie was staring at me too. So I guess I should’ve said that four stunning redheads were staring at me.

There was a chilling silence in the air.

It’s like they were waiting for me to introduce myself.

Oh, right.

”Nice! Nice to meet you all! I’m Jack, Jack Dingle. Anna-Marie, did you tell...”

She sighed. ”Girls, Jack here will be monitoring the photo session. He’s the writer for this article. Feel free to ignore him.” Anna-Marie said jokingly.

The models giggled a little bit.

Well, maybe not the best way to start this thing. But that would change.

”Haha, yeah sure. It’s so great to see you guys live in person! Been a big fan of all of you for a long time!”, I lied, but it would help things start off with a better mindset.

Alexa and Bonnie smiled, but Rachel just rolled her eyes. I see, I guess she was the most divalike here. Rachel Meadows, the one in the red leather outfit. She was the oldest one of the group, and the one with most experience. I wonder what kind of jedi mind tricks Anna-Marie used to get her to agree to this shoot?

Oh yeah, none of this was actually Anna-Marie’s idea. No way she would’ve suggested bringing three redheads, her very own colorgroup, to a shoot so... provocative. No, she actually suggested three XXXL-models. She said it would be empowering to see them do such stuff.

No way.

She was trying to rebel by taking advantage of the rules I set out. So, to punish her, I told her that Gretchen and Teresa (our art director) had decided that the group should in fact be three of the sexiest redheads she could find.

Somehow, she believed me.

When she sent pictures and names of these models yesterday, my balls nearly exploded. Different, ****, scenarios began running wild in my mind, and I guess it was now just a matter of how far I could take things in just one day.

This was going to be a real test of my domination abilities.

One of the most important checkpoints was already in the air, and probably had a time limit.

It was the second perk I received on Monday.

-COMMANDING AURA-

It is now possible to bypass the waiting period for new people, and get a better starting point with them. If the user manages to make a humiliating commandment to the subject before or during their first meeting, and the subject successfully obeys, they will be immediately activated in the app. No more waiting time. Also in this method, the starting submission score for the subject will always be 0.

These three were the first brand new people I met since receiving this perk. And I guess this could be considered as the ’first meeting’. When would that ’meeting’ end, by the way? Was there a time limit? Did it end when I left the room? The app was incredibly unspecific about this fact.

Here was the situation, anyway: I needed to make a command they would obey, and soon. Then I would start from zero with all of them. Otherwise, the three would stay greyed out in my app for who knows how long, and when they came online, they could have something crazy like -70 submission scores.

That would seriously slow down my fun.

So. Our first meeting. How to make them obey? Anna-Marie said that she didn’t want me ordering the models. And probably not even speaking to them.

Luckily, I had a plan.

”So, Jack, if you could take a step back, we’ll...” Anna-Marie started.

”Just a moment,” I stopped her. I took out three papers from inside my jacket.

”I had a chat with Gretchen. Now, we know all three of you already have written contracts about this photoshoot, but we decided there needed to be a small addendum. So, if all of you could just put your name on these...”

Anna-Marie grabbed the papers from my hand. She read through the small text fast.

”In case of any injury, no right to sue? What is this, Jack?” The models were a little perplexed too. It was rare to see Anna-Marie this angry. Well, she had every reason to, model contracts were in her job description. I really dropped this on her from nowhere. But it was the only way to do this.

I mainly hoped the legal-sounding text sounded believable. It probably had loopholes and stuff, but that wasn’t the point. It didn’t actually have to be legally binding. The point was just to get them agree.

”Umm, yeah... Well, as you know, this will be photoshoot will be a little... experimental, so we needed to make some changes, for legal safety you know. You girls have nothing to be scared of. Just technical stuff.”

Alexa Knit, the armyshorts-wearing one, grabbed one of the papers. She was a fairly unexperienced model, but her looks were already giving her a meteoric rise. She read through the paper fast.

”I don’t know about this... Maybe I should have my lawyer look through this?”

At this point, all three women were holding copies of the paper. I took out my pen.

”That would be a shame. We can’t shoot until we have all three clearences. You all need to write your signature for it to happen.”

Surprisingly, it was Rachel who scoffed and grabbed the pen out of my hand. I thought she was going fling it right back in my face, but instead she pressed her contract against the wall and wrote down her signature. (RACHEL: +2SP) (+2SP)

It happened. She was already in the positive. My perk was working. I tried to hold in my excitement.

She turned back, and gave the pen back to me. ”Let’s just get this thing going. I got no time for this crap,” she said with a lovely British accent.

Excellent. That motivated little Bonnie Travan to pick up the pen too, and put down her name as well. (BONNIE: +2SP) (+2SP)

Now the last holdout was Alexa. We were all giving her pressuring looks.

”I-I don’t know, I’d still like to check it out with my lawyer...”

”That’s fine, Alexa. It’s completely reasonable,” Anna-Marie said and gave her a supportive tap on her back.

”Yes, it is. We just have to find a replacement,” I butted in.

”What?” Anna-Marie nearly shouted. Alexa looked surprised.

”This shoot is very time-constricted. We have no time to wait. So thank you for coming in, Alexa.”

I was ready to shake her hand, but she decided to grab the pen from my other hand. As I knew she would. She was still a young model starting out. Getting kicked out from a professional shoot like this wouldn’t do good for her reputation.

After a few seconds, I had her name in front of me too. (ALEXA: +4SP) (+4SP) Hmm, her points were different. I guess she found this more humiliating than the others did.

Now we were really ready to start.

Anna-Maria once again asked me to step back, which I did gladly this time. Anna-Marie then lead the three women into the dressing room.

Man, I couldn’t wait to see them in their outfits.
