Chapter 5: You Can't Expect Me to Wear That...

Continued from chapter 4:

Mireyah lingers in the doorway for a moment, biting her lower lip as she looks up at me from beneath her lashes.

"I'll be thinking of you and our arrangement all day," she says. "At six o'clock sharp, I'll come to you—either as a maid, or as a lawyer. Either to dominate, or to be dominated."

She pauses, her dark eyes glinting with something new.

"I've got all day to make up my mind."

She rises onto her toes and presses a quick, soft kiss to my lips. Her mouth is warm and tender against mine.

"See you at six, Ero," she murmurs.

Her lips linger for one breath, two, and then she pulls away. She takes a slow, steadying breath, squares her shoulders, and steps into the hallway.

"Until six, then," she calls softly, her dark eyes smoldering with something that wasn't there when she first walked through this door this morning. "I'll be counting the minutes."

She throws one last look over her shoulder, and then she's gone—the soft squeak of her cart wheels fading down the corridor, the door swinging shut behind her.

The day passes quickly. I get some work done, exercise, shower, and wait for 6 PM to arrive.

What will Mireyah decide? Will she return a meek maid, ready to submit to me? Or will she return as an avenging angel, dressed for her future law career, ready to put me in a maid outfit and make me experience the humiliation I inflicted on her?

Six o'clock arrives before I can prepare myself for it. Three sharp knocks sound at the door. I open it. Mireyah stands before me, transformed. Gone is the demure maid uniform, replaced by a silky satin blouse and a tailored pencil skirt that hugs her curves. Her dark hair is pulled back into a sleek chignon, not a strand out of place. Dark-rimmed glasses perch on her nose, giving her an air of intellectual authority. In her hand, she carries a sleek leather briefcase.

"Good evening, Mr. Apostasia," she greets me coolly, her tone all business. "I hope I haven't kept you waiting."

Without waiting for an invitation, Mireyah strides past me into the room, her heels clicking authoritatively against the floor. She sets her briefcase down on the desk and turns to face me, a small, enigmatic smile playing about her lips. I try to maintain my composure. I put Mireyah through quite a bit this morning, and it's clear she has chosen to reverse the roles and get her payback.

Mireyah levels me with a stern look, her dark eyes glinting with mischief and determination behind her glasses. She slowly circles me, appraising me like a predator eyeing its prey.

"It seems, Mr. Apostasia, that you took rather inappropriate liberties with one of your employees this morning," she states crisply, her voice leaving no room for argument. "Such behavior is not only highly unprofessional, but could be considered grounds for legal action."

She stops in front of me, tilting her chin up imperiously.

"However, I am feeling generous," she continues. "I propose a little arrangement. One that will allow us to settle this matter privately, without involving HR or the authorities."

Mireyah reaches into her briefcase and pulls out a folded garment—a frilly, black satin maid costume, complete with fishnet stockings and garters. She holds it up, letting it unfold before me.

Oh no. I had forgotten about the maid costume entirely.

"Mireyah, please, no," I protest, my voice wavering. "You can't expect me to wear that, right?"

Mireyah arches an eyebrow, her smile turning wicked.

"Oh, but I can, and I do expect you to wear it," she purrs, dangling the skimpy maid outfit teasingly in front of me. "After all, turnabout is fair play, wouldn't you agree?"

She takes a step closer, invading my personal space. Her presence is suddenly commanding, her authority absolute.

She takes a deep breath, collecting herself, and continues.

"You had no qualms about putting me in a compromising position this morning, using me for your own pleasure," she says, her voice low and measured. "Now it's my turn to see how you like being objectified and humiliated."

Mireyah presses the costume into my hands, her fingers brushing against mine deliberately. "Unless, of course, you'd prefer I march down to the front desk right now and file a formal complaint?" she asks, her tone carrying a hint of amusement. "I'm sure the other guests would love to hear about their esteemed bar owner's predatory behavior towards young, innocent maids."

The threat is clear, wrapped in silk and delivered with a smile. I have no choice.

"Now, hold still," Mireyah says, moving toward me with purposeful grace. "I'm going to undress you and prepare you for what is sure to be quite the humiliating—and probably painful—ordeal for you this evening."

Mireyah's eyes flash with triumph as she sees the resignation settling over my face. She knows she has me exactly where she wants me. With deft fingers, she begins to methodically remove my clothing, savoring each inch of skin revealed as my defenses fall away.

"That's it, just relax and let me take control," she croons, her voice low and seductive even as her actions remain clinical and precise. "Tonight, you're mine to do with as I please."
