Costume contest

When Sandra gets back her desk there is a small package on it. She opens it up and there is a narrow leather collar with a single D-ring sewn on to it and a note. "Every kitty should have a collar. Put it on now." The thrill of the mysterious package and the commanding wording of the note gave her a thrill today, when normally it would repulse her.

Sandra looks around, but doesn't see anyone watching her. She pulls out the collar and buckles it around her neck and squirms in her seat. Soon her phone buzzes and she sees a text from Chris. She opens the message and sees an image of a bulge in the pair of pants he is wearing today. "Told you I would be working hard all day." She forwards the message to her husband with, "Someone else seems to really like my costume."

Sandra replies back to Chris, "Good thing you didn't send that through the work IM system. Now I'm just trying to decide if that is just a tease, or a prelude." She pauses before hitting send, as she knows this will change their dynamic even more. Wondering how, or if he would reply, she presses send. She waits a few minutes for a reply. When she gets none she focuses on her work.

At noon all forty-eight of them go to the break room for pizza, beer and the costume contest. Frank passes in front of each of them, saying their names and naming the costume. When he gets to Sandra the young guy from IT who had hidden himself in the back shouted loudly, "The top and skirt aren't cannon." A lot of people laugh and Sandra made a mental note to go visit him later.

Frank then started the voting my walking behind each person, placing his hand above their head and the employees cheered their approval. While he was behind her she felt his hand gently cup her butt. Sandra tried not to react and wondered if he did that to Jackie, the receptionist who was in a Super girl costume that was more revealing than Sandra's. Jackie got the $50 gift card prize for favorite costume.

As they were mingling and eating Chris comes over and tells her that a bunch of them are going to go to the bar for a couple drinks after work and wondered if she wanted to come along.

"I would love to! Are spouses invited?"

"Sure." Sandra could hear a bit of disappointment in his voice.

Frank chips in, "That sounds like a great idea. How about we all leave at 4:00? I'll buy the first two rounds." He then makes the announcement that the office will be closing a little early and for those that wanted they would meet at the bar and that he was buying the first two rounds.
