Sophie's New Policy

Sophie reached out. As soon as her skin made contact with the metal of the crown, she felt a sort of connection in her mind. It was hard to describe except to say that she felt like she was being listened to. But it also had the uncomfortable feeling that the thing listening to her wasn't remotely human. She felt its presence in the air around her. A sense of age and power which didn't actually belong to her, but was merely borrowed from something else.

"Crown," She said. Instantly, the connection grew stronger. Whatever it was, she'd caught its attention. "From now on, the following rules are in effect."

She took a deep breath. She'd been thinking about this for a while now. Going back and forth over what she wanted to do. It would be all too easy to get carried away by the power of the thing. The thought made her tingle all over, especially her womanhood. She felt the heat flow to her face, realising just how aroused she was right then.

"From now on, legally, whenever a shop assistant makes a mistake serving a customer, that customer is allowed to demand repayment in the form of punishment to be heaped upon the assistant who failed them. These punishments are normally things like extra hours at work, or being made to apologise but for female assistants, the punishments can be sexual in nature."

She shuddered, the idea made her blood run faster. Her pulse beat in her head. Sophie licked her lips, not sure whether it was terror or sheer exhilaration which drove her forward now.

"Assistants are allowed to quit rather than go through with the punishment, but if they want to keep their job they have to do whatever they were told. Daniel's Grocers in particular has a policy that all such punishments must be sexual in nature."

Her skin felt hot. Her heart was beating fast. Sophie's hands pressed against the fabric of her shirt, curling around the outline of her breasts. She could feel a steady pulse of need between her legs.

"Additionally, video footage taken during such a punishment by any party is legally allowed to be shared and viewed by anyone over the age of majority."

Sophie cut off a low moan that started in the back of her throat. As she finished speaking, the crown seemed to realise that she was done. Its metal surface became warmer for a moment or two, and she wondered if there was something wrong with that. But it didn't become hot enough to be painful, and a moment later, it returned to normal. Sophie felt a ping of disappointment. Had it worked? Had it not? She didn't know. How were you supposed to tell?

Well, she supposed she could look it up and see for herself, but that would ruin the fun and the excitement. Sophie could feel it tingling inside of her, making her want to go to work more than she ever had before. It would be hours before that, however. She would have to do her best to kill time in some other way.

Considering how aroused she was, she knew just what that other way might be, and it was very tempting but...

No. Not yet. She didn't want to ruin things by burning herself out before anything started. Instead, she resolved to have a shower. The water was hot and comfortable against her skin, and she took her time to really enjoy it. Steam curled about her legs, and wafted above her head. She ran the trailing current of water over her body, teasing herself with its constant drumming. Then, when it was over, she stepped out and looked at herself in the mirror.

She was, quite naturally, soaked to the skin. Sophie was a tanned young woman. Given her love of exhibitionism, she tended to strip off whenever she got the chance. Usually during the summer, she'd wear the flimsiest things she could get away with. If you'd asked any of her friends whether she was shy about her body, they would have laughed at you but the truth was that she was shy. She'd never pushed herself beyond the point of no return. She'd never taken off her top or her bottoms in any situation where there wasn't a social reason to do so. She'd never shown any part of herself to strangers, and even her closest friends had simply seen her in swim wear at the most.

So she was tanned, a bit on the tall side as such things went. She had short cut blond hair with dark highlights, and blue eyes. Sophie was fit. She liked to run and did it as often as she could with her busy schedule. Her legs were long and toned, and she sometimes secretly enjoyed it when people stopped to look at them as she ran. She had fantasies where she was made to go running naked, or where she somehow managed to forget her shorts before she went. During those times, she would-

No. Sophie caught herself before she could delve too far into her fantasy. She'd decided against that for now, and she didn't have much time now anyway. It was nearly time to go to work. She just had enough time left to grab some food and throw on her uniform. A short cut skirt and a button-up blouse worn over a dark bra and followed up by a jacket.

It was time to go to work.
