"The easiest way to subdue someone is to have control of them from behind," Bayley advised Raquel. She was going to talk the potential Moment of Bliss rookie through her training booking, which was going to involve dominating and pleasuring Alexa.

"Turn around," Raquel instructed Alexa, who was sitting facing her on the bed.

"I'm not going to help you out," Alexa said defiantly, now in client mode. The client wanted to be dominated, not to make things easy.

"Fine," Raquel said, realising it was time to get a bit rough. She had a big strength and size advantage over Alexa, so she had no trouble in grabbing and forcing her down into a lying position on her front on the bed.

"Good, now pin her down and silence her," Bayley said.

Raquel was already doing exactly that. She lay on Alexa's back, making sure not to crush the air out of her but applying enough pressure to pin her in place.

"Get the fuck mmmpph!" Alexa yelled as Raquel clamped one of her leather gloved hands over her mouth.

Raquel made sure the hand gag was tight, not wanting Alexa to be able to wriggle free, or of course to be able to talk.

"Mmmmm! Mmmmm!" Alexa shouted, wriggling pathetically. She managed to get a hand up to Raquel's, and started trying to pull it off her mouth. Raquel was much too strong for that, but the struggle was enjoyable for both of them.

"Good," Bayley said approvingly, standing and watching on from the bottom of the bed. "Keep her like that. Let her struggle and tire herself. Let her keep trying to call out and use up her air. She'll be easier to control soon."

Great advise, worded perfectly, Alexa thought. Although she was playing a turned on client right now with her accomplished acting skills, and although in truth she was turned on somewhat because she did like being dominated by a woman, especially Clementine, Alexa also had her business brain in gear. This was a trainee at work, and Alexa had to assess her performance. That was the entire point of the exercise.

Raquel's unique height, build and strength were certainly an advantage in this kind of scenario, Alexa thought. There would potentially be a lot of domination bookings to come. Lying there, Alexa felt totally smothered by the big hand covering her mouth and most of her nose, the leather smell filling her nostrils. Being forced into submitting was where the sexual excitement came from. She had no choice but to stop trying to move or talk, and to put all of her effort into getting what air she could in through her nose.

"Mmmm," she sighed quietly, conveying that she could was compliant now, and could hardly breathe.

"She's totally under your control now," Bayley said. "Always be on the lookout for a 'safe word' in these moments. But also do not let up. That ruins the pleasure for most clients. This is the domination they want."

"Okay," Raquel said, trying her best to learn and to do a good job. If she could manage to please the boss, that had to be a good thing.

"You're going to want to tie her up," Bayley advised.

"I'm going to gag her first. She's spoken for the last time tonight."

"Mmm," Alexa gasped. As the boss, she was pleased. Learning how to talk like that was also important for Raquel. Clients would enjoy it.

"And how are you going to do that?" Bayley asked. "You left your things on the floor."

"Damn it," Raquel said.

Bayley already had the plastic bag in hand. She put it on the bed next to Raquel. "Here. But remember, you need to keep your stuff close by. Now, how are you going to gag her?"

"I bought something especially for that," Raquel said, moving the bag closer to her with her free hand. "When I had my booking with her, Alexa covered my mouth with some kind of medical plaster. It stuck real tight. Worked perfectly."

"Yes, I've used it myself. And I've been on the receiving end. It's very effective and it never comes off. A stroke of genius by Alexa to use it."

Lying there still pinned down and smothered, Alexa wasn't sure she deserved praise quite that effusive. She waited to see where Raquel was taking the conversation.

"Well, I couldn't find any of the stuff Alexa used," Raquel said. "That beige, kind of skin colour stuff. But I did find some different medical tape. It's called microfoam tape. I'm hoping it will work just as well. Let's find out."

Alexa was able to see the roll as Raquel took it out of the bag it. It was white, and about as wide as the aforementioned medical plaster.

Bayley was back in advise mode. "You're going to have to take your hand away from her mouth to get the tape off the roll. So be quick about it. You don't want to give her much of a chance to cry out."

"Oh, she won't cry out," Raquel assured her. "Because if she does, I'll put all of my weight down on top of her and crush the air out of her. We don't want that do we, Alexa?"

"Mmm mmm," Alexa mumbled, managing to shake her head slightly. Again, she was impressed by Raquel's performance. This was what domination was all about.

Raquel removed her hand from Alexa's mouth, allowing her to gratefully breathe. Within seconds a long strip of the microfoam tape was torn from the roll. She unceremoniously slapped it over Alexa's mouth and pressed it down tight with her hand, making sure it sealed properly. She then smoothed the ends down on Alexa's cheeks.

"Well done," Alexa tried to say, mostly for the purpose of testing the gag. It proved as effective as Raquel's hand had been. She could feel that this new tape had contoured around her mouth, properly sealing it up. It probably looked great, she imagined, deciding to buy some herself to try on a future booking. Or even better, on Clementine.

"Now that's hot," Bayley said, moving closer to the top end of the bed and looking down at Alexa. "I think that stuff is going to become standard for all of us at Moment of Bliss. What are you going to tie her up with?"

"I bought some quite expensive duct tape. Avoided the cheap stuff because I doubt it would be strong enough."

Bayley nodded. "Good move. So, you pretty much always want to tie people's hands behind their back. Think about now, for example. With her hands tied in front of her, Alexa could still peel that tape off her mouth."

"Mmm hmm," Alexa agreed, approving of Bayley's advice again.

"Shut up, Alexa," Raquel said.

As if I've got much choice, Alexa thought as Raquel pulled her arms behind her back.

"Little tip for you," Bayley said. "Cross her wrists over each other before you tape them. Makes it even less likely that she'll be able to break free."

Raquel took that advice without comment. Alexa was able to see her remove a roll of silver duct tape from the bag. She soon heard the first few inches being pulled from the roll, then felt Raquel positon her wrists, crossed over each other. Alexa decided to struggle, to see how Raquel fared with having to be rough with her.

As soon as Alexa moved her wrists, Raquel pressed her weight down, crushing the breath out of her as she had threated.

"Mmmm," Alexa gasped, going still again.

"Don't do that, chica. Not a good idea," Raquel said. She grabbed Alexa's wrists again, forced them behind her back and crossed them over, then wrapped them in tape, winding it around several times. It was tight, maybe a little too tight. Alexa made a mental note to caution Raquel on that. Most clients liked to be restrained with as little discomfort as possible.

"Good," Bayley said. "Now, are you going to tie her ankles? Are you going to strip her first?"

"I'm going to tie her ankles right now," Raquel said, remembering what the booking form had said. She climbed off Alexa, which Alexa found to be a relief.

"Okay. But obviously you're not going to be able to pleasure her without undressing her."

"Yes, I'm aware," Raquel said, sounding like Bayley's advice was becoming a bit irritating.

Alexa felt and heard her ankles being tied tightly together with the duct tape. She couldn't help thinking of Clementine again, who absolutely loved using duct tape on her. Alexa imagined how turned on she would have been right now if it was her wife who had her tied up and gagged like this. It made her want to get home as soon as possible.

"That's you taken care of," Raquel said, now standing at the side of the bed, looming over Alexa.

"Mmpph," Alexa sighed, looking up at the tall, muscular woman, who in that moment looked incredibly powerful and totally in charge. Yes, clients would definitely pay for that.

"What was requested on the booking form?" Bayley prompted Raquel as everything had come to a halt for a moment. "I assume she asked for more than being tied up."

Raquel turned to look at Alexa and a wolfish smile slowly appeared on her face. "She did actually. The next thing is for me to tie you up too."

Okay, you're a good actress too, Alexa thought as she watched on with genuine excitement. Bondage was always a turn on for her, on herself or other women. She'd do it with men too for bookings, but that didn't arouse her personally. She knew that Bayley had a thing about being gagged. That had been the basis of the booking where they had first met. She could consider what was about to happen a perk of the job, Alexa figured.

Bayley reacted quickly to the surprise, with no intention of making it easy on Raquel. "Oh no, I don't think so," she said, heading for the door.

Raquel moved much faster, grabbing Bayley around the waist with one arm and clamping her other hand over her mouth.

"Mmmmm! Gmmmt omf mmm!" Bayley yelled into the hand, flailing pathetically as Raquel dragged her over to the bed with ease.

Raquel had Bayley lying face down on the bed in moments, and climbed astride her as she had been with Alexa before. Alexa had turned her head to face that way, and was now eye to eye with Bayley, less than a foot apart. Bayley's eyes were wide with sexual excitement and she was still trying to talk behind the gloved hand over her mouth.

"Mmmmm," Alexa moaned, now feeling turned on herself.

"Are you going to make me subdue you like I did with her? Or are you going to let me tie you up?" Raquel demanded of Bayley.

Bayley lay there compliantly, totally still and totally silent.

"Good," was Raquel's verdict. "I'm going to take my hand away now. Don't make a sound or I'll crush you."

The instruction was obeyed to the letter. Bayley offered no resistance as Raquel gagged her with the microfoam tape and bound her up with the duct tape.

"Hmmp mm," Bayley pleaded pathetically to Alexa when the bondage was complete.

It was another turn on for Alexa. Fortunately, or maybe unfortunately, for Bayley, she was about to oblige. Alexa awkwardly manoeuvred herself into a sitting position and looked at Raquel, who seemed bemused.

"And what do you think you're doing?"

"Mmmm," Alexa said softly, motioning downwards with her eyes in a way that she hoped conveyed that she wanted the gag to be taken off.

Raquel got the message. "Are you okay?" she asked, slowly peeling the sticky tape away from Alexa's cheek and mouth so as not to hurt her.

Once her mouth was uncovered, Alexa gratefully took in a few breaths. She noticed Bayley lying there, still having not moved, probably enjoying her helpless situation.

"I've seen enough, Raquel," Alexa said. "You played your part very well. I'm going to offer you a probationary period with A Moment of Bliss."

"Really?" Raquel cried in excitement. "That's amazing! Thank you so much!"

"You're welcome," Alexa said with one of her best smiles. "We'll talk about it in more detail. First, untie me."

"Of course," Raquel said, immediately moving to work on the tape that was binding Alexa's wrists. "What shall we do about Bayley?"

Alexa looked down at Bayley and their eyes met. "Oh, I think we can leave her here while we talk business," she took pleasure in saying.


A/N: Alexa has another recruit, bringing her one step closer to the semi-retirement she's looking for. But she has three women with a lot of similarities. She has no blonde on the roster, and no black woman either. Who would you like to see as potential recruits? Obviously suggestions need to be people who haven't been used in the story clients.
