The date with Sam

Tilly found that Sam was truly passionate about art. It was easy to listen to her go on about the various pieces in the gallery because she was just so animated. Tilly found herself taking a very passive role in the date, nodding along to Sam more or less monologuing. She was enjoying herself, somewhat. Truthfully her concern over this date was entirely different from her last one. She just wasn't attracted to Sam. She couldn't be. Right?

If she was being honest with herself she did find Anita attractive. Was she just lying to herself that she was totally straight? Was it all girls or just Anita's personal magnetism? She was so confused. She must have looked distracted because Sam noticed, "Oh...I'm so sorry. Here I am droning on about myself and my work. I've barely let you get a word in edgewise. That's not very nice of me is it?"

"Uh no. It's fine. Really. You seem really passionate about art, it's wonderful."

Sam smiled, "Ya. I am. Hey, so what do you do? You mentioned some modelling work when we were chatting?"

Tilly cringed. Had Taskmaster really told Sam about her work? Wait, this could be her opportunity. Taskmaster wouldn't let her just leave the date, but if she put Sam off, without actually lying...

"Ya. Just an odd job. I did a bondage shoot for Hide & Seek." Tilly blushed as she admitted it.

"Whoa really? Like whips and chains and all that?" Sam asked.

"Ya. They put me through my paces for sure. Naked, cuffed, whipped. A very...interesting experience." Tilly said.

Instead of being repulsed, Sam seemed excited, "That's amazing. I would love to see that. I bet it was totally hot. So is that what you want to do? Be a model?"

Tilly shook her head, "No. I was just **** for money. I haven't had a stable job in a long time. In fact I just did a job where I got paid to masturbate while someone hide and watched me." Tilly said it with a straight face but inside she was burning. That had to do it. No way she stays after that.

"Oh ya I totally get that. When I was in college I worked at a strip club. It was kind of ironic having a lesbian dance for a bunch of horny men, but it paid really well so I kept doing it. When I was trying to get this place off the ground there were a few rough months and I actually went back and worked some more shifts to pay the rent, but it's been a few years now since I've danced."

Wow, would nothing deter this woman? A stripper? Really? Maybe she could pretend to be the one offended. She opened her mouth but Taskmaster's voice shot through her mind, _Do not lie or you will face consequences. _Fuck. She smiled at Sam, "That's cool. I'd never have the confidence to do that."

"Really? I don't know where that bondage shoot went but surely more people would see you naked there than at a club."

"Ya but I can't see them. Actually I spent a lot of it blindfolded and couldn't even see the photographer. But ya. Out of sight, out of mind. You know?" Tilly said.

"Totally. Anyway should we get to dinner? My apartment is on the second floor. I've got it in the oven already." Sam didn't really wait for a response before she set off. Tilly followed and they entered a very nice apartment above the studio. Something smelled delicious.

It actually tasted even better, "Oh my God! Sam! This is amazing!" Tilly said as she finished another mouthful.

Sam blushed, "Really? I'm so glad you like it. It's an old family recipe."

Tilly felt herself loosening up a little as they ate. Probably a result of the wine. Eventually it felt a little less like a date and more like catching up with an old friend. Separated from her gallery Sam was able to give space to let Tilly talk about her interests and for them to have a better back and forth conversation. Their conversation grew more and more animated until Sam accidently knocked over a bottle of red wine, soaking Tilly's dress.

"Oh my God! I am so sorry!" Sam shouted. She grabbed some napkins and started dapping her dress, "Oh no. It was an accident, I swear!"

Tilly looked down at her dress. It may just be ruined. Maybe if she could get the wine out right away, "Uh...do you have anything I could change into?"

Sam nodded, "Ya. You're right. We have to soak that immediately. Go to the bathroom and throw your clothes out of the door and I'll get it on and bring you a change ok?"

Tilly obeyed which is how she found herself standing naked in Sam's bathroom. Why was she totally naked? Her bra and panties were wet too and when she tried to leave them on Taskmaster took over and made her give them up too.

Sam knocked on the door, "I'm here. Crack the door and I'll pass them through."

Tilly did and grabbed the bundle of clothes, "Thanks."

Tilly quickly put it on and looked in the mirror. Without a bra or underwear she felt a little uncomfortable. And she was a little bigger than Sam so the shirt was...well...way too small. Tilly's nipples were clearly visible through the shirt.

Tilly debated asking for something else but figured the Taskmaster would object. She opened the door to a shocked Sam, "Whoa!" Sam's face went flushed, "Um. Wow. You look amazing."

Tilly couldn't help but smile with how flustered Sam looked, "Really? This is better than my dress? I thought I looked pretty good in that."

Sam nodded, "No no. Of course. Really you are just...wow." She looked down at herself, still dressed in a suit, "Uh now I feel like I should change."

Tilly smiled, "Just take off the jacket. Loosen up a little."

Sam did just that and invited Tilly into the living room. She refilled Tilly's wine, with a promise to be more careful this time. They sat on the couch and talked for a while more but eventually Tilly noticed it was completely dark outside. I should go, she thought, don't want to lead her on any more than I already have.

She turned to look at Sam and smiled. She started to open her mouth, about to declare her intention to leave. Sam clearly misread the sign, she suddenly closed her eyes and leaned forward. Tilly froze, unable to meet Sam halfway. Little progress towards goal made, initiating correction. She heard Taskmaster's voice in her head. Suddenly her body took over, closing the gap between them. Suddenly she was kissing Sam and she felt control return to her body. She was about to break it off when Sam's hand cupped the side of Tilly's face. For a moment...it felt so nice. Tilly closed her eyes and leaned into the kiss, entirely of her own volition.
