Iron clothes

You resign yourself to the task at hand: taking a few shirts from the laundry pile, you plug in the iron, take it up and start ironing them one by one.

The shirts are huge, far too big for you. You feel like a small child attending to a giant's house chores. The trousers are even worse.

What's more, just doing this - women's work - is pushing buttons for you. You find yourself imagining what you look like - a beautiful girl, naked, ironing shirts for a man. A man's fantasy made real. Except that you are the fantasy.

It's obvious Mr. Markley doesn't really need his laundry done - in fact, judging by the difference in quality between the shirts you've just done and the other pressed ones hanging on the wall, he usually uses a professional service. He'll probably take the ones you're doing now and drop them off somewhere to be redone.

Nevertheless, you try to do your best with your ironing. For one thing, you don't want to be punished for doing a horrible job. For another...well, it's kind of a turn on. He's making you do women's work...and that makes you feel sexy.

Strange.

A little while later Mr. Markley returns to inspect your work. He turns a shirt on its hangar, examines a sleeve.

“The pants are fine. The shirt collars need to be redone, but we'll save those for next time. Follow me.”

You follow him back through the kitchen, then into a small room lined with books. There's one leather chair, which he sits down in. “Please stand here where I can look at you, Janet.”

You obey, standing almost within arm's reach of Mr. Markley, your bare feet almost touching the insides of his dress shoes.

“Now,” Mr. Markley says as he shakes loose a cigarette from a pack. “We're going to have a little interview. I want you to answer my questions truthfully.” He lights up, inhales, then blows smoke in your general direction.

“Okay. Let's start with basics. You are a rather short term, spur of the moment arrival here. I'd like to understand your motives for enrolling. I'm going to ask you questions, please answer with a number between 1 and 10, where 10 is high.”

“How strong would you rate your desire to be female prior to your arrival here, on a scale of 1 to 10, where 10 is high?”
