"Yes, I'm very sorry, but I've got influenza," Leonard said. "I can't come into work today."

"But it's April?" the girl on the phone said.

"Uhm… well I've got a fever. Maybe it's something else."

"You don't sound sick."

"I'm going through a tunnel. Can't hear you. Krrgh-"

He quickly hung up the phone.

He'd have to fix that later. But there were more important things to be fixed right now.

It had been a week now. A rough week. Penny had taken full control of their sex life. She decided when and how they had sex.

They usually started with him giving her a massage or going down on her. Sometimes both. He had gotten very skilled at using his tongue and fingers to get her off.

If he was very lucky, they would move on to penetrative sex, although usually she decided that him licking her to a couple orgasms was enough and she called it a night.

If he got his cock inside, she was usually on top. She spent lots of times grinding her clit on him, which probably felt great for her but didn't do much for him. Sometimes she would pick up her vibrator and use it on her clit while he fucked her (at the exact speed and depth she told him to of course).

He would often be required to use the blue strapon on her. She would comment on how big it was and how great it felt in her pussy. How it never came without permission and stayed hard for as long as she liked.

It wasn't like he didn't orgasm at all though. When she was in the mood and he was being good, she would allow him to masturbate for her. He wasn't allowed to cum right away though. She would often let him wait and beg and then cum when she commanded it. That way, she was trying to train him into only coming on command.

She assured him that things would go a lot easier once he was trained properly. Once he got his cock under control, they could get rid of the dildo and he could fuck her a lot more. But right now, they couldn't because he had no control over his cock.

She would spend lots of time hugging and reassuring him. This was all new for her too. But didn't they feel much closer?

Leonard sighed. He did feel very close to her. But still. Was this really what he wanted?

No! It wasn't. People had been walking over him all his life. He was done rolling over. It was time to take charge.

He always believed that he was lucky to have Penny. That just seeing her naked was a gift. But it wasn't. He deserved more. He deserved to have her on her knees, servicing him however he wanted to. After all, he was the next stage in evolution, wasn't he? A human with superior intellect. It was only right for her to submit to him.

It was time to get to work.

…

Leonard leaned back. Alright. This time it would work. The new video he made was much more specific about what he wanted.

You want to be submissive. Being dominated in the bedroom turns you on. You want to give up control. Obeying feels good. You've always felt this way but you never dared to admit it to yourself.

She wouldn't notice. The subliminal images were too quick to see. And this time, there was no way out of them. They were very explicit.

Maybe he should check just in case though? He couldn't screw up this time. If she found out, he was dead. He had to be absolutely certain there was no way for her to detect the images.

He put on his headphones and pressed play. On his laptop, the modified anime played.

Hm. So far so good. There was no way to tell that the hidden images were there.

Maybe a little longer, just in case.

He kept watching. Actually, the story wasn't bad. He could kinda get into this.

Just a little… longer…

So good.

…

"Leonard? Leonard?"

"Huh?" Leonard woke up. "Wha- huh?"

"Did you forget about our date?"

"Date?"

He looked at Penny. She had clearly gone through a lot of trouble. She had put up her hair in an elegant bun and put on makeup. Her nails were painted immaculately. She was wearing a sexy black dress that really showed off her chest. It looked brand new. And just as a finishing touch, she wore a necklace with the logo of the Rebel Alliance from Star Wars.

"You forgot?" she asked.

"No, no. I just… I was watching…" Oh no.

"Oh. Is that the anime I asked you to get for me?"

"Yes," he quickly latched on. "I was checking if the quality was alright and I got distracted. I'll get changed."

She smiled. "So you like it, huh?"

"Not half-bad."

He quickly went to the bathroom, freshened up a little and then put on a suit.

When he was done, he found her waiting for him.

"You look good," she commented.

"So do you."

Thanks.

She leaned in and kissed him.

"Hm. No heels?" he asked.

"Just for you."

"Thanks."

"You know what day it is today, right?" he asked.

"Uhm… Friday?"

"It's been a week. You're getting your reward tonight."

"Oh."

"I've been thinking. How about we change our agreement a little?"

"Oh." His shoulders dropped.

"No, no. Not like that. In fact, I think you deserve more." She moved closer to him.

"More?"

"How about for tonight, I am all yours?" she suggested. "I will do anything you ask me to. I'm not gonna complain about anything. But in… twelve hours, you go back to being my good boy, okay? I'll try to go easier on you next week. I got a little carried away this week."

"Are you serious?"

"Yes. Here, I'll prove it to you."

She reached beneath her dress and pulled down her panties. She held them out for him. They were red and decorated with lace.

Slowly, Leonard reached up to accept them.

"I won't be needing those, will I?" Penny winked.

"I guess not."

"Alright. So what do you want to do? We have reservations, but it's up to you. You want me to… give you a little dessert first?"

"I… uhm…"

What did he want?

He wanted her to blow him, right? He wanted her to get on her knees and choke on his cock. And then-

Wait a second. Was this a test?

It had to be. Yes. It was a trick. She was gonna take revenge the next week for whatever he did now.

"Go ahead," she urged him. "Tell me what you want."

"Let's go to the restaurant first," he said. "I'm hungry."

"Alright. As you wish… Sir."

He put the panties in the pocket of his jacket and followed her outside.

They went to the restaurant. Penny was driving.

His thoughts began to drift. Did he really want to-

No. No, no, no. Damnit. Watching that stupid video must have influenced him.

Fuck.

He just hoped it would wear off eventually. Maybe after a couple hours, he'd be himself again? Maybe these submissive feelings would go away?

Leonard relaxed a little when they entered the restaurant. Not a lot could happen here since they were in public. Even if their table was quite private.

…

"Are you okay?" she asked. "You look a little off."

"I'm fine."

"Do you even know that you just ordered?"

"Sure, it's uhm…"

"Spaghetti," she said.

"What's wrong with that?"

"He asked if you wanted cheese and you said 'yeah, sure'."

"Oh. Uhm… well I didn't want to offend him. I'll just take the cheese off when it gets here."

"Leonard," Penny spoke. "You need to talk to me. We have to talk to each other. Especially now."

"I…" Leonard reached into his pocket. He could feel her panties.

How could he explain this to her? Did he even understand it himself?

"If you want to end all of this, that's… we can talk about it."

"I do."

"I was afraid you would say that. I went too far didn't I?"

"No," Leonard clarified. "I want to end my reward time."

She frowned. "But… why?"

"I don't like it."

"But you deserve it," she insisted.

"I came without your permission."

"That was just one time," she said. "And I already punished you for that. Hard."

"Penny, I… I'm not submitting to you because I want a reward or because I'm scared that you'll leave me or punish me or anything like that. I…" he looked around, but no one was looking at them and they were all too far to eavesdrop. "I want this," he whispered. As he said it, he realised it was true.

"Are you sure?"

"Yes. That's why. That's exactly why."

"I don't get it."

"Before, I was never sure. I was never sure if you were satisfied with me."

"Leonard I-"

"It makes me feel good," he continued. "Knowing that you are satisfied with me makes me feel good. I like pleasing you. Maybe at first it was out of fear, but now it's out of love. I love you, why is it weird that I want to please you? But before, I could never stop worrying about whether I was doing okay or not. But now I know for sure. If I wasn't doing okay, you wouldn't hesitate to correct me. So I don't worry anymore and I can focus on pleasing you."

"Hm. So you don't want any like… blowjobs or anything?"

"Not like this. Not once every week or as a reward or a chore. If you want to do it that's okay, but don't feel obligated to do it for me. Just do it whenever you feel like it."

"I don't think that will be very often."

"That's fine with me. Don't feel pressured to do it for me. Just do whatever you want, because that is also what I want. And if you never want to give them again then… I understand."

Penny hesitated. She wanted him to be happy too. But…

Wait.

She smiled. "You know, I think I know what the problem is."

"You do?"

"You're watching too much porn."

"I… what?"

"Yes. You've watched so much porn that you have gotten this idea of what a blowjob is supposed to look like. Me on my knees and you fucking my face."

"I…" He felt a blush creep up. How could she talk so openly about this in public?

"I think we should start doing it my way."

"Hm. So what does that look like?" he asked.

"Oh well. Maybe you'll be tied up and blindfolded? Maybe I'll hire a hooker to do it for me. We'll see."

"That sounds fun," he said.

Don't get hard. Don't get hard.

Their conversation was briefly interrupted by the waiter giving them their drinks. Leonard did his best to avoid eye contact.

Penny waited until he was out of earshot.

"Alright," she said. "If this is really what you want, let's do it." She lifted her glass. "To us?"

"To us."

They clinked glasses. Both of them drank deep.

"Leonard?" she asked.

"Yes?"

"You still have my panties."

"Oh. I'm sorry. Do you want-"

"I need to go to the restroom. Meet me in five minutes."

Leonard swallowed hard. This was getting interesting.

Penny got up and went to the ladies room. He waited for a few minutes. It was hard to control himself. He couldn't get hard right now. That would be tough to hide in these pants.

Focusing on his breath helped him remain calm. His cock remained mostly soft.

Eventually, the time was up. He got up too and went to the restroom. It was right around the corner.

Leonard hesitantly knocked on the door labeled 'women'.

"Penny?"

She opened the door. "Come in, quickly."

He entered.

"I'm really not supposed to-"

"Shh." Penny kissed him, hard. Then, she grabbed his tie and pulled him into a stall. She locked the door behind her. She leaned against the wall and put her hands on his shoulders.

"Down," she whispered.

Leonard got on his knees. Without her asking him to, he put his head below her dress and got to work.

"Do it fast," Penny urged him.

She didn't have to tell him. The fear of getting caught was more than enough motivation.

Luckily, he was quite the expert at oral by now. He knew exactly what she liked. Plus, she was already pretty wet before his tongue was delving into her pussy.

"Fuck."

She began to grind against him.

His cock strained in his pants. Somehow, the knowledge that he wasn't gonna use it here made him even more horny.

He would brag to his friends about how amazing Penny was. He would tell them they had sex in the restroom of a restaurant. But they wouldn't know that 'sex' involved him getting on his knees and getting her off. They wouldn't know that she was the only one who came.

Maybe Penny would tell the truth to her girlfriends though? All of them would be jealous of what a good boyfriend he-

Penny tapped him on his shoulder.

A warning. Leonard quickly pulled up her dress so nothing got on it. He put his hands on her hips so he could keep her upright. Then, he closed his eyes and redoubled his tongue efforts.

A couple seconds later, her body shivered. A copious amount of juices squirted out of her, all over his face. He continued to lick her as she came down from her orgasm.

"Wow," she whispered. "You okay?"

"Thank you," Leonard said. "That was amazing."

"Sorry about the mess."

"Don't be."

"Let me help you."

She took some toilet paper and crouched down in front of him. Together, they cleaned off his glasses, face and tie as best as possible.

"We should get back," Leonard said. "Before anyone comes in."

"One moment." She rose again. "Put my panties back on."

She held out one of her long legs.

Leonard looked up at her. Fuck. She was so dominant.

He took out her panties. It was easy to tell what the front was since it had a little bow on it.

He held out the correct hole so she could step in.

Penny didn't move though.

"Put them on," she repeated firmly.

"Uhum, yes, Mistress."

Carefully, he pulled them along her foot and up her ankles.

She held out the other foot so he could repeat the motion.

Then, still on his knees, he pulled up the panties all the way up her legs. When they were in place, he placed a soft kiss on her crotch.

"Good boy."

He just smiled at her.

"Next time, I think I'll have you hand me your boxers before we leave."

"Whatever you want, Mistress."

"Indeed. Now get back to the table."

He nodded.

Leonard got up and went out of the stall.

A good thing no one had entered while they were busy.

He hurried out of the girl's restroom. Outside, he took a moment to adjust his cock so his hard-on wasn't too obvious. Then, he went back to their table.

No one spared him a second glance. His jacket was still a little wet with her juices, but it was black so it was hardly noticeable. And they were too far away from him to smell her juices on him.

About ten minutes later, Penny returned too.

"So how was work today?" she asked casually.

"Uhm… I… I didn't go to work."

"Really?"

"I needed some time to think," he said. Which was more or less true.

"Which you couldn't do at work?"

"Well I shouldn't. Ideally you want to train yourself so you only work at work. If I was using my office for other things, it would be harder to focus on other days."

"So no sex in your office then?" she asked.

"Well… that's not really my decision, is it?"

"True. But you're not forbidden from asking."

"Really?"

"Of course. Look, Leonard, just because I'm… I'm dominant doesn't mean you can't ask for anything anymore. I want to have… normal sex too."

"Normal?"

"I don't know, vanilla?"

"Yeah, I think that's the technically correct term."

"Do you remember when we… had that conversation?" she asked. "Before our… well not technically our first time but-"

"The Bedroom Rules for Penny?"

"Yes, that one," she said. "I've been thinking. How about we write them down? Together? And we'll update them whenever necessary."

"So you mean… something like this?"

Leonard pulled out a folded note from his breast pocket and handed it to her.

She opened it up.

"Are you serious?" she asked, incredulous.

"Look, it was just to-"

"No it's great. We can start from here. Let's begin by updating this title. You've got a pen?"

"Always." He handed her a pen.

She added something to the title. Then, she handed him the note back.

Now it read: Bedroom Rules for Penny's Pleasure.

"Not that it won't be fun for you or anything," she said. "But just so we get our priorities straight."
"Looks good."

"They are coming. We'll finish that later."

Leonard quickly folded the note. Right on time, because the waiter arrived with their food. He made a little bow and left them alone.

"Great," Penny said. "I'm starving."

She dove right in.

Leonard just watched her.

After a couple seconds, she realised he wasn't eating.

"Everything okay?" she asked.

"Yeah. Everything is perfect." He picked up his fork.

"Leonard."

"Yeah?"

"The cheese."

"Oh. Right."

She smiled. "Here, let me."

Penny reached over and scooped up the cheese from his plate to hers. She was careful to get it all.

"Thanks," he said.

"My pleasure."

Yeah, he smiled to himself.

Her pleasure.
