Power Versus Submission Ch. 05: Trust

This will make a lot more sense if you've read the previous four chapters! It contains themes all used previously, including some mild non-consent and all characters are 18+. Please be warned if you are likely to be offended and do not enjoy power exchange in a non-consensual context. Power Versus Submission is a continuation of my previous story also published here called Balance of Power.

CHAPTER 5 -- TRUST

The look of surprise on Denny's face as I pushed my front door open for Tahlia to enter was priceless.

She obviously didn't care about me coming home and seeing her on my couch fondling my daughter, half naked, hands down each other's pants making out passionately. In fact I wouldn't be surprised if that was precisely what she wanted me to see. But for Tahlia to see her like that, well, that look of shock and dismay on Denny's face that her leader could see her be so intimate with someone else was something she was not expecting and clearly uncomfortable with.

Thankfully David had already left for his date with Shandi as I too was more than a little shocked at the scene before us, Denny had already demonstrated that she is quite the exhibitionist but I hoped my daughter might have a little more modesty than this!

My bullies try to act equal as a gang but there is a definite pecking order and Denny wouldn't usually do anything without speaking to Tahlia first. It was a weird relationship they shared and as much as Denny had sworn and proven her loyalty to Tahlia in the past she was obviously torn now between her best friend that she adored and would do anything for and her lover with whom she was sharing such passion on my couch.

For Tahlia though this was the perfect opportunity to show Carly that she is boss,

'Fucking hell Den I knew serving me and Flea without us giving you any back had turned you into an absolute fuck slave but I didn't realise how bad it had got. Get off that poor girl for fuck sake, can she even breathe?'

Carly looked up in shock and annoyance at this strange beautiful girl in her house as Denny immediately disentangled their bodies and picked up her blouse from the floor to cover her perfect boobs. I had learned early in my submission Tahlia's method is to immediately create this power imbalance where she calls the shots and it came so naturally to her that my poor darling Carly never stood a chance.

While Carly had led a sheltered life, and if anything I had probably over parented her, she wasn't an immediate submissive pushover like me and she actually helped her own cause by not directing her questions at Denny but instead turning her attention immediately to the girl who had just walked into her loungeroom as if it were hers. Carly made strong eye contact with Tahlia and scowled,

'I can breathe just fine thank you'

As she was speaking she never broke that eye contact with Tahlia but bent over to pick her shirt and held it over her bare breasts,

'So I guess you must be Tahlia then? I can't imagine who else in the world would come home with my Mum and know Denny so intimately. You should have said you were coming then we might have been a little more prepared, hey Den?'

Denny nodded submissively at first. She was still in shock at being caught making out with Carly in a manner that she did not want Tahlia to see before regaining her composure;

'Yeah, what gives Tay? You could have texted me or something?'

Tahlia's expression never changed,

'I could have but I wanted to see for myself how things were coming along between you and Carly.'

As she spoke, Tahlia looked at Carly before walking over to stand above where my daughter sat,

'I really like you Carly. First impressions count for a lot, I know we had those texts on Messenger the other day, but you could have whined to Denny just then and you didn't. Instead you came at me rather than hiding behind Denny, shows me you're not a submissive little push over like your Mother.'

My pussy involuntarily flinched at my name used in such a degrading manner as I noticed Carly roll her eyes at the unwelcome visitor. She wasn't intimidated by Tahlia in any way nor did she know anything of her reputation. To Carly Tahlia was just this rude bitch who had no business in her relationship with Denny.

Tay continued: 'Remember how I wrote about this thing called a balance of power in our texts? Do you remember me saying there is a power imbalance in every relationship we will ever have. I make sure in all my relationships and friendships I retain that power and I always use it. It's the same thing I instructed you to use and take advantage of with your Mother. Which I guess might make you wonder why this balance has anything to do with you?'

Carly replied immediately,

'I know everything you said about the balance of power Tahlia, and I even experienced it briefly with Mum, but there is no reason why we can't be equals. I don't really believe anyone is better than anyone else. Mum and I are a good example we had a wonderful relationship until last week when I let you talk me into trying this shit with her. I don't know why Mum is the way she is, I don't know why she lets you walk all over her the way it has become apparent that you do, but I don't want that type of relationship with her. She's my Mum and in years to come I want us to be best friends, I'm not a child anymore, I don't need anyone telling me what to do or parenting me but it would be handy to have a friend like Mum with the experience she has helping me through life and sharing her experiences.'

I could feel tears of pride swell to my eyes as Carly spoke. What a wonderful young lady we had raised. I already knew this was all a mistake, my voluntary submission to Tahlia and everything that happened since. David's relationship with Shandi, it was all my fault and Carly's words helped me solidify in my own mind that I just had to find a way to put everything right. Listening to her speak I was that ashamed of myself and who I had let myself become.

This was one of those moments where my brain had full control of my thinking and everything was so clear to me in those moments but while such nobility might be all well and good in my own mind, I had briefly forgotten what an evil manipulative bitch Tahlia could be.

'How lovely of you to think that way Carly.'

Tay turned to Denny,

'Isn't that lovely Den?'

I looked over at Flea still standing in the doorway, she had been as quiet as ever but had this big smile on her face. It was totally opposite to how Den looked, ashen and aghast,

'Please don't do this Tay. For me?'

Tay smiled at Denny,

"Why is that begging my little bitch?'

Tay had said it in good humour but apparently Denny didn't get the joke as she shrunk back a few steps. I had never seen her look unhappy and I could see Tahlia grow as that balance of power fell more and more in her favour. She thrived on this, her body language oozed confidence, and she actually enjoyed the misery she could create. While Denny shrivelled away into the background like a scared little girl Tahlia become more and more confident.

My pride at Carly was very quickly being replaced by fear at the atmosphere Tahlia had created. This wasn't going to end well. By now Carly had slipped her top back on as she sat up before Tahlia,

'Um, can someone please tell me what's happening? Denny? Why are you letting her talk like this?'

Tahlia spoke,

'Denny, do you want to tell the little Princess here what's happening? Or shall I?'

Denny moved forward timidly.

'I'm sorry Carly. I love you, I've never ever felt like this about anyone in my whole life. Except for Tay. I made a pledge to her years ago to always serve her and be loyal to her. But she's not a lesbian I could never be her true girlfriend so I settled for what I thought would be the next best thing to being her Girlfriend. She would let me eat her and I started to hang out with her and Flea and we've become really great friends.'

Carly's expression changed as Denny spoke, she obviously didn't know that Denny had been with Tahlia like that and I could see the betrayal manifest itself first in my daughter's eyes and then her face, as Denny continued to try to explain her situation,

'I know you're not convinced that you're a lesbian either Carly but at least we know you are bisexual. As much as I love Tay, she is straight which I totally respect. But I am a lesbian and I know how you make me feel. I hope and pray and hope and hope that you feel the same way about me as I do you and that you will come out with me as your Girlfriend. But I also know the confusion in trying to work out your own sexuality, well for me it was easy, I've never been interested in boys but I know how confusing it must be for you and I am just so willing to wait for you.'

Carly looked at Denny, eyes full of confusion and regret, before pointing her finger accusingly at Tahlia.

'So does that mean you want to go out with me or be with her?'

'Of course I want to be with you baby'

Denny's voice was certain but then she hesitated,

'It also means Tay is right. There is a balance of power that exists in every relationship. If you want us to be together, then it has to include Tay. Like I would have hoped that being best friends Tahlia might understand what you mean to me, what we mean to each other. But that's a talk I need to have with her more privately, for now she needs to prove her point that there's always a balance.'

'That's total bullshit Den. Why don't you just tell her to fuck off?'

Tahlia actually laughed at my daughter's feisty response,

'Yeah let's try that Den. You want to try that?'

Denny quickly shook her head in response.

'No Tay. You'll have to cut Carly a break, she doesn't know you, the things you've done, the things we've all done together, she doesn't understand. Not yet.'

Tahlia looked over at me and smiled wickedly,

'Well let's give beautiful Carly a little demonstration of what we can do then shall we?'

I was more or less hiding on the other side of the room as Tahlia tried to exhibit her control. Meanwhile Flea was standing in a spot where she could record the whole thing on her video phone as Tahlia called me over to stand in front of Carly.

I knew I couldn't deny Tay and that this was going to look terrible in front of Carly but my pussy also knew I was about to be humiliated and potentially degraded beyond my wildest fantasies. When I hesitated a moment Tahlia even whistled me over like I was an actual dog, 'here girl' she called, tapping her thigh.

'There's my good puppy. Are you going to be a good dog for your Master tonight? Get undressed, right now, fucking dogs don't wear clothes. I want Carly to see you naked on your knees at my feet while we continue this discussion, you know the consequences if you challenge me.'

I couldn't even look at Carly, her words were still ringing in my ears about wanting a normal relationship with me. I was so damn proud of her sticking up for us against Tahlia and my brain was screaming at me to stand up to her as well. Together as a family we could withstand this bully. Carly had just shown me how she could. I am older than her, the adult in all this, I should have the responsibility and sense of authority over these girls. They were guests in my home!

Instead though I didn't even bother answering, I just peeled off my top and jeans like a good girl. I had been defeated when I signed that contract and now instead of facing the consequences of my actions I was going to humiliate and degrade myself in front of my own daughter. I blinked back tears, my gut burned with anxiety while my pussy positively melted with desire as I left my clothes crumpled there right beside my bare feet on the floor.

I lifted my bra and then slid down my undies before kneeling at Tay's perfect feet. I think Carly was a bit shocked to see this, like I know she suspected there was something between us and that I was submissive to Tahlia but I don't think she ever expected me to be as docile as this.

'I can see in your eyes Carly that you are confused. Why would your Mum do that? Well the first thing is despite what she says, what she tells you, and what you might think, she actually wants to. Her pussy will be a sopping mess right now being forced to kneel at my feet before her very own daughter. I'm sure she has fantasised about this for a very long time. I know I have talked her through long masturbation sessions about this very thing. I know how hot it makes her. I know how badly she likes to be humiliated and follow my instructions. Why don't you tell her how hot all this make you my little bitch?'

I couldn't dispute any of it, my brain might have thought differently but right now, right now while it was actually happening, only a few hours after I had been made to lick all those girls in that toilet stall and been edged to the point of insanity at the car park, Tay was right. I looked up apologetically at my own daughter but she didn't want to catch my eye such was her shame at how easily I submitted.

'I'm so sorry Carly. I know you feel let down by me right now. But I simply can't stop myself. My brain is screaming obscenities at me telling me to stop, yet there is another part of me that just can't stop myself obeying her. I've read a lot about what's happening to me. You know me Carly, I have a thirst for knowledge and I have learnt a lot about domination and submission and why I can't stop this. There has been a word created for it too. Asthenolagnia. I don't know if it's a word made up by the kink community or an actual medical term but it is a diagnosis as an arousal at weakness or being bullied, humiliated and degraded. Please believe me though Carly, I am fighting this, and I want us to have the same relationship you do... you're not like me Carly and it's only Tahlia that makes me feel this way...'

'I own your Mum Carly' Tay interjected. 'Officially own her.'

Carly was quick to respond,

'That's bullshit, Mum might get off on sick shit like this. So might you. I don't care, you can't just own another person. If Mum wanted to she could just stand up right now and get dressed and kick you and your big friend over there right out of our house.'

Tahlia laughed at that.

'You better set your daughter straight puppy otherwise I might need to call our employers and make for some extra arrangements.'

I looked up kneeling before my daughter who was still sitting on the couch with tears in my eyes,

'I'm so sorry Carly, I've let down our whole family. Tahlia is in charge and there's nothing I can do to stop her doing anything she wants with me. I actually signed a contract and recently got our lawyer to look them over. I didn't properly understand what I was signing but that doesn't change a thing. I chose this path, yes there have been days and times like right now where I regret my choice but Tay makes me feel things I've never felt before.

It's like an addiction, I know it's wrong, don't worry I fight with myself every single day wishing I wasn't like this but I've chosen to embrace her, embrace the rules she sets for me, and the wonderful ways she can make me feel as well as the wonderful things she does for me. With the contract I signed Tahlia has made it so I can't back out.

Yes, I can tell Tahlia to leave our home right now and she probably would but there would be a price for me to pay, I suspect for us all to pay knowing Tay's contacts. In that respect she does actually own me. But it's okay. That's the thing with domination and submission, Tahlia can protect me from the things I've signed for and as my owner she is teaching me to trust her and to trust in the decisions she makes for me. Up until now this was never ever going to involve you or Dad and I begged Tahlia to leave you out of it, to leave my family alone but if Tay wants to be here then I can't stop her. I have neither the will nor the courage to do so.'

Tahlia leant down and looked Carly right in the eye,

'Look Carly I like you, I like you a lot. I like the fact that you're willing to challenge me. I can respect that. Perhaps we got off on the wrong foot. You're clearly nothing like your Mum down here (Tay tussled my hair as she spoke) so let us call this a misunderstanding and all be friends yeah. If you're a nice good docile girl for me and do what you're told I promise not to stop Denny from being your Girlfriend.'

Now if that were me I'd be willing to take that compromise. But Carly is turning out to be nothing like me. I could see the anger and confusion in her face as she stood up and pushed her way to her bedroom, tears welled in her eyes, and my heart pumped faster and faster as I could see how upset she had become.

'Fine!' she screamed. So loud even the neighbours might hear her.

'Denny, we're done. I thought you loved me. I love you and you're going to choose her over me? That's fine. I don't care what you do to Mum, she is clearly a lost cause. You've got no power over me Tahlia. You can have Denny if you think you can use her as some sort of bargaining chip to make me fall under your stupid spell. I won't. Denny and I are through.'

Carly burst into tears as she forcefully pushed past Tay and ran into her bedroom slamming the door so hard behind her the walls shook. I can't tell you how desperately I wanted to fly in after her to console her but how could I? Naked. And after everything that had just been said.

Tahlia though was unmoved. Had she no compassion? If I didn't realise that by now I never would. She looked across at Flea still taping the whole scene on her phone by my front door,

'Hey Flea take Denny with you and go settle her down please. Just to stop her crying and stuff, Den you are not to say a word to her yet. Not until I've smoothed things over. Let Flea handle it. I can see what she means to you and I hate seeing my girl unhappy, I won't let her leave you, not because of me, I can see what she means to you.'

They both took off down the hallway, I looked down behind them as Denny timidly knocked on Carly's door before Flea simply opened it and strode in without invitation. Denny followed her in fighting back tears. I'd never seen Den so rattled and unhappy and I couldn't help but think Tahlia had made a mistake in asserting her authority in that way. Perhaps she had underestimated how much they truly meant to each other?

Tahlia sat down on the couch where Carly had just been right in front of me. She kicked off her flip flops and presented her bare sweaty soles to me. I knew immediately what to do, starting off with a relaxing massage, before using my tongue to help refresh my 'lovers' as Tay referred to her feet now.

'Shit Robbie. Who would have thought your daughter would be so feisty when she has a toe rag like you for a Mother? I don't know what has happened to Den, that girl has always worshipped me, I never even considered she might actually want to hook up with someone else. I might have fucked that up.'

I looked up at Tay while I rubbed her tired feet,

'If they are in love Tay, and it looks like they think they are, then it's normal to see such emotion. I so badly wish I could go in there with Carly and console her...'

Tahlia laughed and smiled down at me.

'Yet here's my little puppy rubbing my feet like a good bitch while your daughter is breaking her heart. Especially after all the nice things she said about you being her equal and friends for life. I wonder if she knows it's my picture in your purse now and not hers. That I'm your new daughter.'

Tahlia unbuttoned her jeans and gently started masturbating right in front of me on my couch before getting her phone out to send a text.

'Let's play a game Mummy. I am texting Flea to say under no circumstances is Carly to leave that room. They can stay there until her and Denny have sorted out their little lovers tiff. Flea is going to moderate while they talk it through. Fuck 'em I'll give the lovers a chance to sort out their own little tiff before I go in. Go and get your phone, let's message Carly while we wait, I might even get to cum if you're mean enough to her.'
