Leather Story: Turned Out

This story is based on a man and a woman that I encountered while living in East London and the clothes they wore.


Turned Out

By Tang

Jessica Grant walked across the small square towards the main road.  Being school-time it was pretty quiet with only a few elderly people on the move and the noises of the underground trains in the cutting a short way off coming through clearly.  While she had never dreamed of living in East London, she had had to recognise that, with house prices being so high and her only early on in her legal career, it was all that she could afford, at least if she wanted to avoid a long daily commute back and forth from Essex.

For the moment Jessica was working as a duty solicitor for the local police station, handily located across the road from the courts.  Her firm felt it was best for her to gain experience this way before she moved on to representing paying clients.  She had to admit it had allowed her to get to know people of this district and beyond.  East London had welcomed newcomers down the centuries and so its population was incredibly diverse.  On a typical day she would meet people with heritages from Eastern Europe, Latin America, South Asia and Africa as well as various parts of Britain.  Every shop in her area appeared to be run by people from a different ethnic group from the Sikh off licence to the Jamaican bagel shop.

At first, Jessica had worried that whenever she emerged from her small flat, she would run into people she had represented and might face resentment if she had failed to keep them from being fined or imprisoned.  However, she had only seen a handful of those she had worked with and most appeared to have either quickly forgotten her or had felt she was doing the best she could for their interests in difficult circumstances.  She guessed it would have been tougher if she had chosen actually to be a police officer instead.

Her smart, professional skirt suit; her pulled back hair and the enhancing but subtle make-up she wore, Jessica felt, helped her fade into the background and she guessed for a solicitor that was not a bad skill to have.  Sometimes locals would look at her a little suspiciously as she made her way to the police station or to her office; she did look richer than many of them and her fashion sense was out-of-step with the urban styles everyone favoured around here. However, she was usually less interesting to bother with, than something on their phones or a piece of gossip one of their neighbours had heard.

Soon Jessica was at the police station and was sent through to the interview room.  When she entered there was just a constable stood in the corner and her client, Darius Berkley sat in a chair.  Expecting that she would have to be here when the police officers came back to question him, she took the chair next to Darius.  He was black man of her age, with a neat beard, dressed in baggy silky black gym bottoms, a teeshirt in a dusty blue mottled pattern and sleek black trainers.  A glistening puffa coat in midnight blue hung over the back of his chair; searched already, Jessica was sure.  Jessica could not stop herself looking at the young man’s trousers and jacket.  She had identified before studying for her career that there was something about shiny clothes which distracted her; almost entranced her.  As a result, she kept to matt shades and most of her shoes were suede.  She did worry a little about the day when she would have to represent a prostitute in a tight leather skirt and long vinyl boots.

Jessica always worked hard to keep herself professional around everyone she met.  There was something about this Darius, as there had been earlier in the year with DS Harris, that made that harder than usual.  Jessica was no fan of urban style, but her client managed to pull it off in a sophisticated way; not with his trousers hanging half off his backside or a cap turned backwards as if he was a ten-year old.  Even in the police station there was a nice scent about him and the watch he wore looked expensive; the rubber and steel necklace at his throat was tasteful.

“Good morning, Mr. Berkley.”

“Good morning, Lady Jessica,” Darius responded with a subtle smile and Jessica took it as a compliment rather than him making a joke of her.

“They have very little on me.  There were some wraps of weed in my jacket pocket …” He patted the shiny coat behind him and Jessica tried not to look at it, “inside a plastic bag; zip-lock, but my prints aren’t on that; aren’t on any of the wraps.”

“So you are denying that this cannabis is yours?”

“Of course.  I’d been in the Hurricane Room, Club Lick, Bar 300 – places like that.  It must have been when someone saw the cops, they shoved it in my pocket.”

Jessica could see it was a feasible explanation.  She did wonder if it was true, but knew that unless Darius confessed to doing something illegal, then she had to go with what he said.

“Well, Mr. Berkley …”

“Call me Darius.”

“Not before this is dealt with.”

“But then you will.”  He smiled.

It would not be the first time that a client had hit on her, but perhaps this was the first one who was anywhere near her in age and was not drunk or stoned when he tried it on.  There was something Jessica found she liked about Darius’s confidence, he was unafraid without being cocky and, she felt too, that he would not have done this just to every female lawyer he might have been assigned.  Jessica had never been with a black man and, abruptly, she wondered if she was missing out and that, certainly living in East London, she should take the opportunity to sample a wide palette of men.

Jessica tried to focus.  She would be no use to Darius or anyone else, if, besides being enthralled by his shiny clothes, she kept wondering whether the man she was working for would make a suitable date.  In her mind Jessica envisaged a dull, buff-coloured folder and it helped her calm down.

“Mr Berkley, I cannot promise anything.  However, the charge seems to be based on a lot of assumptions rather than evidence.  They are assuming that, given the amount of cannabis … weed, you were carrying, that you have to be a supplier.  They will try to get you on the quantity of the drug; the way it was packaged and the cash you had.”

“The cash is mine, but these days with double shots coming up to a tenner, a couple of rounds with friends you’re going to get through one hundred, two hundred pounds really quickly.”

Jessica accepted that he had a point.  Though she was not a pub- or night club-goer, even a meal at an Indian restaurant could have eaten deep into this cash, before the wine had been ordered.  The last meal she had attended with the firm had been more than one hundred pounds per head, something she could not have considered ordering unless the company had been paying.

“Did you buy rounds?  Were there friends with you who could speak on your behalf?”

“I saw some now and then, in different places, but I was with a lady …”

“Ah, now would she come forward?”

Darius shook his head.  “If she did, it would probably only be to narc me, even if it was fake.  We argued.”

“About what?”

“She said she didn’t like my clothes; said I should spend more on her, as if I didn’t kit her out nicely anyway – you know sassy, but quality.”

For a moment Jessica thought he was about to suck his teeth in despair, but was pleased when he avoided the stereotype.  There was something about Darius that, at present, she could not quite fathom.  He intrigued her, but she pushed that thought aside: there was too much for her to do to begin analysing her client.

“Do you like my clothes, Jessica?”  He smiled at her.

For a moment Jessica considered whether he was playing with her, then if he was insecure and needed regular acceptance, even esteem, from a woman to feel good about himself and his choices.  However, she dismissed that thought – she already knew he was confident; he needed no-one’s validation.

“Yes, yes, I do.”  Jessica confessed quietly.

She had no idea why she had said that and she blushed across her whole body.  She coughed.

“Sorry, we need to focus.”  Jessica tried to get her grip back on things.  “If we can get the police to accept that they have no evidence that the drugs were not planted on you, then once we remove the possession, you cannot have been supplying.”

“I get you.  Yes, it makes sense.”

“And they’re not going to have anyone turn up saying you supplied them?  Even a friend or this woman?”

“No.”  Darius said confidently.  “You don’t need to worry about that.”

Again, Jessica did not know whether Darius had the right to be so confident, but she guessed that, in her position, she had to go with the line he asked for.

“We’ll get the police back and see if we can get this to go away, Darius.”

He smiled at that.  “I know you can do it, Jeslyn.”

For a moment Jessica was going to correct him, but found that she quite liked the name he had given her and simply smiled back, if a little tentatively.

****

Jessica stepped out from the police station and moments later Darius emerged, now back in the fully glory of his puffa coat.

“You did the trick.”  He smiled broadly.  “Thank you.”

The police had abandoned their charges and Jessica felt proud that she had outlined such a thorough defence at this stage, even if it was only potential, that they realised it would probably be thrown out by the magistrate.

“Just my job.”

“But I didn’t even pay for you,” Darius pointed out.  “Come on, I owe you something, can I buy you a drink? … At least a coffee, if you’re not wanting anything else, Jeslyn.”

Jessica wondered if this was the default setting for Darius and he saw every woman within certain parameters as someone he could potentially date, or, in fact, Jessica imagined, someone he could potentially fuck.  That thought startled her and she considered if it was her own fantasies that were shaping how she viewed this interaction.

“Yes, why not?” Jessica responded.

She felt that if she normalised it, then it would be easier than imagining what might have happened.  Darius had ceased to be her client and, with his case resolved so quickly, she had time before she would be expected at the office.

“I am thinking of hiring you as my solicitor,” Darius offered.

“Are you expecting to be arrested on a frequent basis?”

He laughed at that.  “No, but you can tell your boss, you have been working hard to build up a new connection, okay?”

Jessica smiled at his perception.  She was sure that once they were clear of the police station she would soon find Darius less intriguing.  From recent experiences of men in London, she imagine he would begin rattling on about his car – the BMW that the police had been so fussed about or his apartment in one of the converted warehouses, that Jessica knew she was envious of, or perhaps drunken exploits at the nightclubs he frequented.  Jessica doubted Darius was completely innocent, even of the crime he had just been cleared of, but she found, as they headed to the new coffee shop that had opened nearby, that she did not mind it.  In fact, increasingly, she felt she liked that about him.  Perhaps, she reflected, the men she knew were just too straight up and that made them boring.

****

Jessica realised that Darius had been in no way boring.  He had travelled pretty widely in the Caribbean and South America.  However, it was the fact that he was a good listener to all that she had to say about her life, her career and the future, that meant she found she had no desire to cut the chat short.  They had already got through two large cups of coffee.  Darius looked like he was in no hurry to rush off and Jessica found she had no desire to bring the conversation to an end.  Every time she considered if it was right or wrong; if there was something else she should be doing, she found a frisson; a delight in being mischievous.  Given how long Darius had invested in talking to her, Jessica was increasingly certain that he would ask her out.  As she repeatedly envisaged that scenario, she could see herself doing nothing else than saying ‘yes’.  In fact, in a desire to relieve the tension building in her, Jessica considered asking him first, but then felt, it would not be right, that to make this work, she had to let go of the kind of control she had as a lawyer and let him drive this on.

“Tell me a secret – a secret about yourself.”  Darius said softly.

Jessica hesitated, wondering what the best reply would be, to have Darius think well of her; to add to the good vibe she was feeling.  Though she felt guilty doing so, Jessica was coming to doubt if she could pull away from this.

“I like black leather; black leather clothes.”

Darius looked as attentive as before.  “Nice, yes, you must look good in them; something sleek like that would really suit you.  Would I see you in a club decked out like that?”

Jessica could feel her skin almost burning with embarrassment but the tingle in her body loved that she had made the confession, one she largely kept from herself.  She shook her head.

“It’s too distracting … gets in the way of life; of work.  I don’t know … well, what kind of woman I would be …”

“In tight leather leggings, a leather bustier, nice shiny, soft leather jacket.”  Darius said slowly.  “The aroma, the texture, don’t you want to know what it’s like?  It’s not difficult to get that kind of gear.”

Jessica shuddered: this was too much.  “No,” she said feebly, “I can’t imagine what I’d be like; but I’m sure I would have crossed a line.”

“You’re not worried about blurred lines, you’re worried you’d wipe the line out entirely; make the ‘other side’ become the only side.”

Jessica imagined for a moment this was a question; then that somehow Darius understood her better than she did herself.  Maybe he had met women like her before or some similar; she remembered the woman he had been at the club with and Jessica considered how she might have been dressed – the thought of that woman zipped into a tight black leather dress, strutting on high heels, was too easy to envisage.

Abruptly Jessica stood, having broken the dam, all the worries about what she was doing talking to this man and how she was neglecting her job came flooding into her mind.  She told herself off for letting her thoughts become so messed up in this way and that, if she could be put in a spin by just some mildly flirtatious conversation, she was being immature and instead she should get out and have some proper sex.

“Thank you … Darius.”  Jessica could not bring herself to return to using ‘Mr. Berkley’.  “Thank you for the coffee … and the chat.”

“I think you needed it; I think you need … want to talk some more.”

“But I can’t,” Jessica realised she was pleading rather than dismissing his comment.  “Anyway, you’ve not told me one of your secrets.”  She was sure he had many.

“I own a weed farm in Essex.”  Darius said simply.

“Okay.”

Jessica guessed he had a right to confess that if he wanted.  She doubted she would ever be called to aid him again and, she excused herself, as long as he was not being charged with owning that farm, she could accept his line of defence at face value.  Jessica felt there was so much she wanted to say, but now she was up and with his confession as an encouragement for action, she collected her bag and left the café.  Even outside it took some time to calm herself down and Jessica wondered what she might do to keep Darius out of her dreams, let alone her fantasies.  She knew that he was a threat to this life she had constructed, but what worried her most was that she was almost willing to become the kind of woman he could so easily make her into.

****

There was a buzz from the door and from the window, Jessica could see a delivery man with a number of packages.  She was not expecting anything and imagined he had got the wrong address.  She went down to the small hallway; she prided herself on having a flat, which, at least in part, had two floors.  The man smiled as she opened the door, clearly pleased that he would not have to take all the packages back to his van.  Jessica took one the size of a shoe box and saw that it did have her name and address on; as did the other.  The labelling showed that they had come from an online clothing retailer and she worried that she had somehow sleepwalked into making orders.  Perhaps someone had hacked her account, but if they had, they were the loser as everything had ended up at her place.  Jessica knew she would have to check what was going on, but guessed that while it might be a palaver it would be easy to send it all back; she was on good terms with the Sarganas who ran the tiny post office nearby.

Soon Jessica had signed the delivery man’s electronic pad and carried the boxes up to her living room.  She opened the box she had first handled and inside found a pair of patent leather ankle boots with a pretty high but chunky heel; silver slip buckles down the side.  As she opened the next and smelt the aroma of leather, Jessica quivered, uncertain whether to continue or to hold back.  She found she could not resist and in quick succession had pulled out a pair of high-waisted leather trousers; a smart cropped leather jacket and a plain black leather teeshirt, not something she had really been conscious of existing.  There was even a leather choker.  The leather was soft and smooth to touch.  Perhaps if it had been brittle cheap stuff she could have been more dismissive of it all.  Yet, it would seem a crime to throw all of this away; to dump it into a charity shop.  The question was then whether she had the strength to pack it all up and send it back.

Jessica’s pulse throbbed as she looked at the clothes, loving the shine of them and trying to hold back from the thought that so easily she could put these on and walk out of her flat.  What kind of woman would that make her?  She had some idea of how she would be perceived.  However, she knew that the thrill of these things was already a lot to cope with.  Beyond that she knew they had to have come from Darius.  She was not surprised at that, but did recognise it suggested he was making the next move in this game.  Clearly, a coffee with her was not enough.

Maybe, Jessica tried to reassure herself, this was simply a generous ‘thank you’ for what she had done to help him and by today he had moved on to some other woman who took his fancy.  However, she felt sure he wanted to see Jessica – his Jeslyn – in this outfit.  Jessica pondered what might follow on from than that and was concerned that any further steps would be decided by Darius with herself too weak, too enthralled perhaps, to resist them.  Even now Jessica was uncertain whether she would want to resist and considered what the outcome would be if did she simply yielded to Darius’s designs for her.

Unsettled with all that the packages had released in her, Jessica quickly put on a plain coat and shoes, left the flat and began tramping across East London until she was weary. Then she fell into a café and had a cheap, if filling, lunch.  She then took to the tube and went to see some movie at random, anything to distract her from the potential of taking the path to being Darius’s leather-clad lover.

****

During the week, Jessica had managed to throw herself into her work more than usual.  Even then, she kept spooking herself, thinking that the woman who passed her in the leather jacket or the shiny leggings, was the alternate version of herself who had put on what Darius had sent her; had allowed her life to be taken down a different track.  Jessica kept on asserting that she had no need to make herself; allow herself, to be dependent on a man, but could not chant away the thought that it was something seductive.  She knew many men were arrogant bastards, who expected women to dress and behave just as they chose, she met too many of them in her job.  Now, however, Jessica realised she could see a different perspective, what was it to yield such control; to allow, even to ask the man to make you into what he wanted sexually?  Was it the ultimate abasement or was it allowing yourself to be crafted into a precious jewel, not one taken for granted, but one that was admired; desired?

With the weekend, Jessica padded around the flat in her fluffy dressing gown, trying to pretend to herself that she could hold back indefinitely from going down to the coats cupboard where the leatherwear had been stashed.  Of course, having breakfasted, she found herself slipping on the laciest black underwear she possessed, the items she kept for the rare occasions when she thought she might stand a chance with a man, or even when she just felt like saying that she could be that kind of woman anyway.  It simply added to the sense that she had no choice but to slide into the leathers and almost automatically she found herself stood in her hallway pulling on the tight leather trousers and then the teeshirt.  For a moment she thought they were too tight, but as they warmed, they yielded. Even then, Jessica was a little alarmed to see her nipples hard in the leather, realising just how her body had been waiting for this.  Then she was into the cropped jacket and soon, with short black stockings on, the boots followed.  Jessica found herself strutting around her flat, looking in the mirror at herself.  Then lifting her hair and closing the leather choker around her neck.  Why that made all the difference, she did not know, but she was buzzing with a thrill, loving the sound, the smell of these clothes, let alone how they embraced her body.

Jessica realised there were no pockets in the jacket or trousers and shuddered at that recognition.  These were for a woman who would have a handbag, but the sense that everything else was carried for her by her man.  ‘Her man’.  Jessica tried the phrase in her head.  Did that man necessarily have to be Darius?  If he was her man, did that mean she would be ‘his woman’?  That sense of ownership appeared to grow with each passing minute.  Jessica knew that dressed this way, she was signalling that she was offering herself to Darius.

Though qualms flickered in the back of her mind, Jessica soon found herself having put on the gloves that came with the outfit, lounging on the sofa, legs splayed, fingering her wet and hot pussy, teasing her so hard nipples through their leather coating.  The orgasm hit her like a wave and Jessica’s head shook, her body throbbed.  Was she locking her arousal on to Darius?  If she could bring herself off so well just in the clothes he had sent; imagining his body, what would it be like for real?

Now Jessica found she was giving no thought to alternative paths, rather thinking what Darius would want her most to look like; how she could appear that way so that she was perfect for when, as she was certain would happen, he would reappear in her life to check what she had become, and, she hoped dearly, that he would take her into his world. To ensure that, Jessica knew she had to communicate fully that she could be his woman; would look the way he wanted. Almost automatically she was searching for the kind of beauty salon that could ensure she looked perfect and then was phoning for an appointment, unable to stop herself going all the way.

****

Jessica kept looking at herself reflected in the glass partition to the back of the taxi, wondering if she would regret what she had done.  Her hair had been dyed black with bronze highlights.  It was a lot shorter than before, fixed in a swept-across style and with pointy bangs at the side of her face.  Light caught the small gem that now sat on the side of her nose and even the glisten of the pale pink lipstick she had put on.  Her eyes were shaded in colours that matched her hair; her eyelashes teased out to unfamiliar lengths.  She guessed she looked more like many of the women she encountered in her job, but she felt that, above all, she appeared to be an adult, a woman in control of herself, her sexiness and loving the feedback it gave her.  That sense was quickly augmented by the thought which piqued her arousal even further than striding around in the tight leathers, that she had been led into this by a man; a ‘bad boy’.  Jessica found herself quivering when she recalled Darius’s features and even more when she thought how she could put up no defence to whatever he wanted if he met her now; altered to his tastes and those tastes seared into Jessica herself.

As Jessica stepped from the taxi and paid the driver from the new lace and zipped handbag she carried; she saw a new BMW parked a short way along.  She found herself sauntering towards it, more familiar now with the high heels she walked on and the way that the leather held her body so firmly.  She had given up any resistance to Darius, that was apparent and she found she was delighted that he was here to collect her; to gather her in; to make what she had been unable to avoid envisaging, turn into reality.  Jessica knew that there was no way that she could pass many more hours without having sex with this man.

As Jessica slipped into the passenger seat, Darius lent across and slid a hand between her leathered thighs and she trusted that he felt her heat down there.  They locked for a kiss as if they had long been lovers rather than this being the first time.  Jessica loved the feel of his tongue in her mouth and pursued it. Her pleasure grew as she recognised that everything she was doing was not simply letting him into her, but taking herself deeper into his world, so far, she was now realising, that she would be unable to escape.

The car powered away.  Once Jessica might have concerned herself being in a speeding car, but now she realised that having accepted what Darius had offered, she could not pick and choose amongst his many traits.  She realised as they rushed though the city that anyway, she imagined no-one she knew would recognise her.  Somehow, she had become a very different woman, not simply in appearance, but also, she understood, in how she viewed the world.  As they pulled into a parking space in front of an expensive looking block of flats, Jessica realised that this was no date; there would be no preliminaries.  Her man knew what she needed and it meshed with what he simply wanted.

Darius climbed out of the car, came round to Jessica’s side and opened the door. She swung out her leather-clad legs and found she was stepping proudly from the car. Dimly she wondered whether these sensations had come from. However, they were so strong in her and made her feel so good, that any question about them was quickly swept away. As she walked beside Darius to the entrance, she was conscious of people looking at her and she found herself glancing around, feeling more satisfaction that she was being seen looking so good and with Darius beside her.  Soon they were at the front door of a flat, looking plush but discreet. Darius lent in and kissed Jessica’s lips. She yielded to it then found she enjoyed it. She could not remember when last a man had treated her as something precious and guessed that was why she was finding it so good to feel. 

Darius kept his mouth close to Jessica’s ear. “One night, stay with me one night, my Jeslyn and I can promise you that I will turn you out so good that you’ll never want to leave,” he whispered softly.

Jessica had heard of men – and women – able to do that. She guessed that if Darius was as good at sex as he was promising, then she would be a fool to miss out. Soon they were inside. The furniture and furnishings of the flat were as sophisticated as the exterior had promised. However, for now, they walked past the bedroom with a large iron-framed bed covered perhaps unsurprising with black leather sheets. Jessica knew that such existed but until now had never envisaged slipping beneath them, let alone being fucked among them.  The living room had a large black leather sofa and matching armchairs, otherwise the furnishings were shiny black and chrome. A black fake-fur rug dominated the floor and as she sat down on the sofa, Jessica’s boot heels sunk into it telling her that this would be a good alternate venue for sex. The rich aroma of leather, the reflections from so many surfaces simply reinforced the vibe that this place was amplifying into Jessica.

Jessica wondered distantly how everything had become about sex. Perhaps, in large part, it was how she had dressed herself or effectively been dressed. Of course, Darius had wanted her for sex, but perhaps there was more than that and he was gaining pleasure already just from her having become a sexual creature. He had brought her to the top of that slide but she, Jessica realised now, had willingly got on it. She guessed she should not be surprised to find now that she had slid far down it and there seemed to be no way back, even if she had sought one. Jessica recognised then, that it was not simply the anticipation of being fucked by Darius which was making her so hot, but the acceptance that she had allowed herself, indeed had actively chosen, to become the kind of woman Darius would want to fuck.

As Darius came over with a glass of chilled champagne, Jessica realised that she had been oblivious to what he had been doing. Instead, her mind had been focused purely on sex and herself as a sexual being. There was a bloom of worry that she would not be able to get back from that and concentrate on anything else. However, the mindset she had slipped so easily into quickly suppressed any such concerns, telling her instead that she needed nothing else and anyway surely it was so much better just to have sex utterly dominating her thoughts. It was good to be sexy not just on the outside, something she had no doubt now was the truth, but inside too.

Jessica sipped the champagne as Darius came and sat beside her. She was unresisting as he reached out and ran his hands around her choker, then down her front to cup her nearest breast through the leather; its nipple was prominent despite the weight on it. His fingers continued to go back between her thighs as if intent on reminding her just how sexy she was.  As his fingers rubbed up and down over her pussy lips, Jessica felt herself melting, knowing that she was hot and wet, loving how she lacked the ability to resist Darius; loving how much of a whore she felt herself to have become.

Jessica downed her champagne and put the empty glass on the floor. She slipped off her jacket, knowing that not only would she wear it again, but that from now on these were now precisely her kind of clothes. The sense that she had been a lawyer, had had a career, seemed very alien to Jessica now. She had the sense that, if she managed to satisfy Darius, by morning she would find that someone had resigned her position for her and even if they had not, she would find it hard to work after having slept with – fucked – a dealer. However, that recognition brought back the delicious sense that she had gone right down the slide and nothing could take her back from being this one hot bitch, hungry to feed her libido. It was Jessica who lent into Darius this time and pushed her lips against his and her tongue into his mouth. One of his hands grasped the opposite breast while the other cupped her bum in its tight leather.

Darius broke after some time but Jessica felt even more aroused than before. He rose and she knew he wanted to take this to the bedroom. She unzipped her boots and by the time she had caught up to him, had slid her leather teeshirt off. The silk bra below quickly followed and her breasts stood excited. Then she was easing off the tight leather trousers and by the time she was at the bed, its sheets thrown back by Darius, the thong and short stockings had gone. Jessica padded on in just her choker. Darius was already naked and his large cock stood proud as he lay back on the leather undersheet. Jessica knew some men had such large cocks but had never envisaged one going into her. Now, however, she knew she really needed it to go as deep as possible. On the fringes of her mind, Jessica realised that she was already beginning to be turned out. Steadily the sense that she would do anything to have this cock in her; would be anything its owner wanted, was asserting itself in her mind.

Jessica clambered aboard the bed and knelt either side of Darius’s muscular legs. She was here to give herself to him, to serve him in the way he wanted. Jessica knew it was up to her to deliver herself entirely to this man. She raised up and shuffled towards his cock, rubbing its big, dark, hard head up and down her soaked pussy lips. Then slowly she lowered her slick pussy over it, sliding down it, easing herself, gently but fully, in being addicted to this cock; to this man. In the next few minutes, Jessica rose and fell, rose and fell, the sensation building higher and higher in her until she was grunting, with her head thrown back, her eyes closed as all her senses became focused just on what the cock was doing to her. Then Darius jerked and sprayed his spunk deep into Jessica. Of course, he had entered her unshielded and Jessica knew there was a good chance that she would be turned into one of his baby mothers. She found that, rather than resist that, she welcomed her chance to prove to him precisely what she could be in his service. 

Jessica’s turning out; the consummation of her becoming ‘his woman’ sent her spiralling off into orgasm until she toppled away from Darius and lay shuddering with the electricity of what she had done. Eventually sleep came but it was to a different woman to the one Jessica had woken as that morning. She was now owned.

****

On a chair at the foot of the bed were more black leather clothes – a bustier and matching miniskirt both with zips up the front and a pair of patent ankle boots with a spiked heel. Something told Jessica she should ignore these, in fact get out of the flat and right away from Darius. However, as she glanced over at his sleeping form, she felt that ache once more to be on him, to have him inside her. As she tried to deny it, Jessica realised she could not. Slowly she accepted that she had become completely addicted to his body and how it used hers.

The dressing table had numerous cosmetics and new jewellery. Jessica was not certain if they were meant of her or if Darius brought other women here. However, she realised quickly that if that was the case, she did not care. As long as she got access to his body, she was not jealous of anyone else enjoying him too. Sitting down at the dressing table, Jessica checked her make-up and made sure it looked as good as when she had left the salon. She knew from now on, rather than putting on the most minimal of lipstick and mascara, she would be spending time on getting her make-up perfect each morning and evening.

Looking among the jewellery, some still in packets, Jessica imagined that soon her ears would be adored with numerous rings and chains; there would be a monroe in face and a stud through her navel. She was that kind of woman and she would have that kind of ornamentation, somehow she knew there was no long anything to do to stop it. She replaced the earrings she wore with large hoops then stood up to get into the leather clothes.  As she zipped her excited breasts into the bustier and then put on the leather skirt smaller than any she would have worn before, Jessica – Jeslyn as she had been metamorphosed into - realised she had been turned out. As she put on the boots, she acknowledged there was nothing now she could do to get away from wanting Darius’s dick in her and as a result, nothing she could do to stop her being the perfect woman for him – utterly sexy and submissive; his beautiful possession.

Jeslyn looked at herself in the full-length mirrors of the wardrobe and felt pleased that she was just as Darius, the master of all things in her life, would want. She turned back, hungry to be rewarded by being fucked just like this. She lent on the footboard of the bed, her cleavage on show to him. It was no surprise that the thought of her breasts being augmented to be large, tight smooth-skinned orbs came into her head and found a place there.

“Darius,” Jeslyn called softly.

He came awake, but seeing that his wonderful cock was already partially aroused, Jeslyn, wondered if he had been faking and in fact had been watching her prepare. Did he understand that in those moments, the final step had been taken; Jessica had become Jeslyn for real and locked to him by inescapable bonds? He said nothing, but simply stood, letting the sheet fall away from him and his long, broad cock rise back up. He came round behind Jeslyn and grasped her hips. His cock slid beneath the short leather and stroked across her pussy lips. One hand rested on her back, keeping her pinned down to the footboard of the bed so that even if she had wanted to rise from this submissive position, Jeslyn could not have done. She wiggled her tightly held bum provocatively and thrust her pussy down on the head of Darius’s cock as best she could. The sensation of begging with her body to have him back inside of her, sent a moan coming out from Jeslyn lips. Once she would have been embarrassed, but that was before she had become this sexual thing, unashamed of what she was and what she wanted; needed.

In response, Darius thrust his cock right into Jeslyn up to the hilt and she let out a shrill grunt and panted. Every push in, brought a shriek from Jeslyn as if she had been taken further and had morphed into a wordless creature, shrill in her response to the sex she was enjoying. Jeslyn looked down to her excited breasts held in the tight leather then back over her shoulder to the crest of her bum in its skirt, knowing that whenever she wore these clothes again she could not help feel echoes of what was happening to her in them now. She looked at Darius’s strong body connected to her by his wonderful cock. His eyes were closed but his mouth was open with sharp breaths coming out as he clearly was sparking with the pleasure of all of this. Then he came and Jeslyn was held in place as his cock juddered inside her. The fingers of his free hand came up to tease at her erect throbbing clit but the first contact was enough to turn Jeslyn into a shuddering howling rider of her man’s cock. Finally, Darius withdrew and Jeslyn stood straight. Her man closed to kiss her and she chased his tongue around as he held her bum tight and toyed with her nipples. Then he stepped back.

“You can stay here. This place is yours,” Darius said simply.

Jeslyn realised that he was giving her this flat and everything in it. She understood that today had been about testing her and she had passed.  Now she moved on to the next stage of becoming a ‘kept woman’ and this flat was where she would be kept.  That sense of being owned swept across Jeslyn with a frisson.  In that moment, she felt as if she had stepped into somewhere that she could never come back from.  Rather than reduce her excitement it heightened it as she acknowledged her life was now all about sex.  It meant she had been made that sexy creature and there was nothing she could ever do to reverse that.  She giggled as she welcomed that fact deep inside her.

Darius pulled open the mirrored wardrobe to show a range of clothes and boots, most in leather, but some in vinyl and latex. Jeslyn tried to push the thought of pulling on a shiny latex dress or thigh-length leather boots away from being the latest of her urges, but knew that soon that desire would come and quickly it would be part of her reality.

‘I am getting a drink,’ Darius said and headed towards the living room.

For some moments, Jeslyn tried to think of something other than being taken once more by Darius but nothing would come. He had adeptly made her utterly addicted to his cock and she knew she would do anything to get more of it. The wardrobe held many really, really sexy clothes of the kind she had never worn, but now she ached to be in. Hurriedly she took down a red strapless latex dress and found out a pair of red vinyl platform soled thigh boots. She was quickly out of her leathers, tossing the bustier and skirt aside. The interior of the dress was covered in talc and she realised there were things she had to learn about getting into such clothes. She carefully scrunched it up and then pulled it over her head and down to the top of her breasts.  Her body felt a thrill as she pulled the cool latex down her body, knowing that this had just become her favourite material. In a couple of minutes, she had tugged it into place rendering her breasts and bum, slick hemispheres of red. The latex was taut across her body and between her thighs.

Sitting down, Jeslyn worked to encase her legs in the incredibly long boots. As she zipped one leg and then the other into the glossy red, she thought she might come just doing that. With them in place, Jeslyn stood and walked up and down becoming accustomed to the kind of boots that she knew now would be common for her to wear.  For Jeslyn, underwear was now the perfect outerwear and fetish clothing would be her day clothes. She was a kept, turned out woman and everything about her would demonstrate that forever more.  Jeslyn sat at her dressing table and drawing on all the advice on sexy make-up she had pretended to ignore, worked on her features.  In the following minutes she had wing-lined her eyes and applied smoky eyelids, put on a shimmery naked lipstick and gold contoured her face to give it that look almost as if she was a walking mannequin.  The reflected woman bore no relation to Jessica Grant, this was the highly sexual Jeslyn and there could be no doubt about it.

Now she rose and strutted in her boots loving how at once they made her feel empowered but whorish, noting how they altered her walk and the movement of her bum beneath its highly polished skin-tight latex. She yearned to be walking in public like this, oblivious to those around her as she was focused purely on pleasing Darius. She stepped into the living room, her legs splayed apart. Almost casually she slipped a finger beneath the edge of her dress and pulled it up to expose her pussy. She slipped the finger in and the pulling it from her juicy sex brought it to her mouth where she sucked on it like a cylindrical lolly.

Darius killed the television in that moment and his cock rose hard. Seeing it extend to its full length, Jeslyn felt hollow, a sensation that only her man’s meat could fill her. However, for now, she resisted those urges, knowing she had to do something else, to show her gratitude for all that he had done for her.  In a few steps, Jeslyn was at Darius’s feet and lowered herself to the rug.  She grasped his cock as best she could in her hand, then her tongue flicked out to lap at its head.  In that moment, Jeslyn saw her in the future, her lips enhanced to make this work even better; a stud riding in her tongue.  For now, though, as she eased her pursed lips over Darius’s cock, felt his guiding hand cup the back of her head and him emit a long sigh of satisfaction, Jeslyn knew she was doing very well with all that she had; everything that belonged entirely now to her man.


THE END.

Leather Story: Back in Black

This story was inspired by a woman I encountered when travelling on the London underground railway in May 2004. It has proven to be the most successful erotic story I have written. Since being posted on Literotica in June 2004 it has been accessed on over 45,000 occasions. I do not know if it stems from the fact that it was based on a real person in real locations. Feedback suggests people have welcomed its authenticity. I even had an email from a woman called Geraldine from London whose husband was called Peter, though she did not say if she now behaved or dressed this way, though in my response, I encouraged her at least to try out such an outfit. It may be due to the comparative lack of stories featuring mature women compared to those in their 20s and 30s. Anyway, whatever the reason this has been a surprisingly popular story and I often wonder if the woman who inspired it has ever read it.

Back in Black

Geraldine Hopkins walked slowly along the platform of the Leicester Square underground station looking up at the indicator board for a train to take her home to her flat in Kentish Town. She saw she had a ten-minute wait, which was not bad. It was not yet eleven, and the platform, though busy, was not packed and a lot of people were still heading up the escalators to the delights of the West End of London rather than going home. Geraldine glanced around, noticing a few people looking at her: a couple of men and a woman seem to be interested in what she was wearing. Though she had made great strides today, Geraldine was still a little self-conscious of how she appeared and took a few steps along the platform, feeling even more aware of the leathers she wore than before.

The way she had dressed had all been part of her marking a change. She knew the outfit she wore was not that rare for a woman of her age, early forties, it was usually when a woman reached that age that she could afford to dress like this. Younger women preferred the distressed denims anyway. Though it might be acceptable, Geraldine did feel such an outfit did say something about the woman who dressed like that and how she saw herself. Trying to avoid anyone's gaze she looked down at herself, the smooth black leather boots had a heel, but nothing too outrageous.

The black leather jacket, unfussy, collarless, stretching to just above her waist was common enough for women of all ages in London these days. Maybe it was combining it with the trousers that made the difference. The black leather trousers were snug without being skin-tight. She liked the lack of pockets that would have confused things and how the leather smoothly skimmed her bum, its size and shape she was particularly proud of, the result of sensible eating and exercise. The outfit was completed by a white ribbed top, that again gently showed off her assets without over-emphasising them.

Geraldine had put on jewellery for today's trip out, a couple of necklaces and a few of her rings, though markedly there was not one on the third finger of her left hand. That had been bare since that night three-and-a-half years ago when Peter's adultery had been confirmed to her. She supposed it had made a change for him to run off with the boss, rather than the secretary, and maybe she had to update her views on how the world worked. Partly that had been what today had been about. Today was the second anniversary of the divorce coming through, and, unlike last year she had not sat at her home drinking herself silly, poring over old photos and memories. This year she had had a fun day out.

It had been a pity that Ally was out of town on holiday. Her best friend's marriage was still going strong. However, Geraldine had been determined to have a good time even if on her own and maybe she would not have been so bold with her outfit if Ally had been along. Geraldine had done some shopping, a few indulgences: some jewellery, a nice silk camisole and then tea in an expensive store before a good musical and a tasty Chinese dinner in Soho. Planning it all she had felt courageous and brought together the nice leathers she had assembled on bored weekends over the year. She had never worn them altogether except in front of the mirror and it had been with butterflies in her stomach that she had slipped on the jacket and closed her front door behind her. She had walked briskly to the underground station worried she would run into one of her neighbours, convinced she had become a fallen woman.

They were only clothes after all, Geraldine told herself, but then again were not clothes a reflection of the person in them? That thought gave Geraldine the tingle that had returned a couple of times through the day. The way the soft smooth leather slid over itself, between her arm and body as she reached for something; between her thighs as she walked; the sound of her heels distinct on the tarmac; the rich aroma; the gentle creak as she moved. There was something about leather than no other material had. Beyond that, though, Geraldine knew this outfit was aksi making a statement.

The material may have sexual overtones, but it was tough too. This may be a woman whose bum was comfortably held by shiny leather, but this was a woman too who would strut up to you and speak directly, an independent woman you would not mess with, whether she wanted to see a particular ring, a table in a restaurant or a seat in the theatre. Geraldine loved all those things that she felt her clothes said about her, so unlike the demure woman she had been with Peter. She thought of those shapeless skirts he liked, those blouses that made her look a decade older, and his whole attitude, making her the obedient, compliant wife whilst he lusted after his thrusting (in both senses of the word, no doubt), power-suited boss.

"Can I just say something?" The question came from a man standing just a couple of steps away on the platform.

Geraldine looked up, suddenly her confidence fading. Her mind buzzed with possible scenarios. Was he talking to her? Was he some wino, so common on the underground, about to launch into a bid to beg money? Geraldine looked at him, smiling, the approach she felt would cover any possible outcome.

The man took her look as a 'yes'. "Can I just say, your outfit looks really cool."

"Thank you, thanks, that's nice." Geraldine flushed suddenly and looked away, her eyes fixed firmly on the rails in front of her. As she felt the blush go from her cheeks she looked back, curiosity burning inside her too strongly for her not to do so.

The man was taller than average, probably around six foot exactly. Geraldine was tallish for a woman and so was only five or six inches shorter. The man was probably five or six years younger than her. She wondered what had led him to make the comment. Like herself, he wore glasses. Geraldine's were totally rimless and gave her face a luminance, enhancing the blue eye-shadow her lids wore. His were more rectangular, only framed along the top, giving him a look that mixed seriousness with a relaxed attitude. Geraldine was glad for an instant that he was no tramp and did not appear a psycho. He wore a black moleskin jacket, a blue pullover and beige trousers, all pretty relaxed, reasonably stylish, not down-at-heel, not ostentatious either. Geraldine glanced at his face, quite long, but filling out as he aged. His hair was short, cut close to the scalp, but again in a fashionable way without the hint of the military or some institution.

"Sorry, don't you like compliments?" The man asked.

Geraldine stuttered for a moment. She had guessed his first question had come from some drunken whim, but now he spoke again he seemed sober enough, focused on her, rather than what was running through his mind.

"Erm, I'm not used to them." Geraldine answered honestly.

"That's a surprise, you deserve them." The man answered, his confidence growing, he turned from the standard platform posture of facing the tracks to facing her.

Geraldine wondered at the man's motives. Was he just playing with her to pass the time? Was he trying to chat her up? Was he about to suggest she join some cult or invest in some company? Was he actually a psycho who cruised the underground looking for victims? Countering that, Geraldine felt flattered. Her plan seemed to have worked, how she had dressed herself seemed to be giving out some signals that she was a single woman, not keen on remaining like that for too long.

"Oh." Geraldine replied, her mind void of a more elaborate response.

"Sorry, I should get out of this habit."

"What habit?"

"Striking up conversations with women on public transport."

"Right."

"When I saw you, it was sort of automatic."

"Automatic? Why?" With every sentence they exchanged Geraldine was worried he would ruin it with his sales pitch or something scary.

"I like to see women dressed in leather, I like to encourage them."

"So it's not me that you're interested in, just my clothes?" Geraldine asked, a little irritated.

"No." The man replied quickly. "A sexy woman looks sexy, but in my view leathers just add that finishing touch." He paused. "If I'd walked up and said 'Do you mind if I say how sexy you look?', you'd have run down the platform shouting for the police."

"Point taken." Geraldine said, smiling, sure there was another compliment in the man's explanation. "So, this is something you do most Saturdays? Standing around on the underground complimenting women in leathers?"

"No." This time the man seemed a little more hesitant. "This is the first time."

"Why this time? How much have you had to drink?"

"Nothing. I'm going up to Finchley to collect my car, then it's up the M1 back to Buckinghamshire."

"I see. What were you doing in London?" Geraldine felt she had taken the initiative.

"To buy some presents, to see a movie, it makes a difference on the big screen. I hate Buckinghamshire, I used to live in London, I prefer it down here." he gabbled out his answer, but then took a breath. "Anyway, the women down here are sexier." He looked across at her to see her response

Geraldine nervously brushed her fair, shoulder length hair back from her face. This man was certainly candid, but something about the way he spoke seemed right. She was at a loss what to say next, and fortunately the train arrived and she could focus on getting on board. Geraldine turned right, heading to where she could see a free seat at the end of the carriage. She tried to stop herself looking around to see where the man had gone.

Geraldine sat down. Initially resting her black handbag on her lap, but then putting it down by her feet. She realised she was trying to distract herself from the excitement she was feeling. She recognised the fact that the man's interest had thrilled her. As she straightened up from putting her bag on the floor her eyes connected with his. He was sat opposite and smiled quite sweetly at her.

Geraldine could not stop herself blushing again and gave a brief, and she hoped, dismissive, smile back again. She had been told that men got the message these days, a smile was a put-down, showing clearly that the woman was not interested. Was she interested? What would happen if she was? Geraldine had no idea what to do. She looked back at the man for a clue. There was the smile again, and Geraldine felt strangely reassured. Without noticing she brushed her hands across her neck as if it were tired and then rested her palms on her leather covered thighs. The feel beneath her fingers of the soft, smooth leather, warmed by her body heat, felt so good. Suddenly she felt guilty, had she not been sending out a signal by dressing like this? Was not the act of dressing from head to toe in butter-smooth black leather itself some sort of sign? She dismissed that, it was only a sign that she was a fashionable, independent woman, pleased with her body, and determined to get what she wanted and only what she wanted.

"I'm Andy." The man said, clearly keen to get the conversation started again.

"Geri." Geraldine replied, intentionally using the name Peter had loathed.

"Nice." The man laughed, and that seemed to show Geraldine that he clearly hoped this would go further, but did not know how to advance it. It was up to her now.

The train was momentarily noisy as passengers got on and off at Euston. Geraldine knew the stops very well, but nervously glanced up at the map above the seats opposite counting down the stations to Kentish Town.

"Have you lived in London long?"

"Since I was a student. Tottenham, Hammersmith..."

"Now Kentish Town." Andy said as if emphasising the point that the time was passing quickly, heading towards the moment when they would have to make a decision. He then seemed irritated with himself for cutting her off, and slumped back as if defeated.

Geraldine knew Andy was hesitant, not daring to believe anything much could come of a chance encounter. Geraldine also knew she had to make a decision. She looked Andy over again. He was clean, he was polite, no paunch hung above his belt, and she was sure that under that shirt was some firm flesh. She chided herself, she should not think like that, not measure the man up like a meat in the butcher's. Why not? She had to be honest, she was thinking of the potential for sexual pleasure, weighing it up against the potential for danger. Yet did that not give it a little more edge? Had she not partly made the decision this morning when she had eased her shower-clean legs into the leather trousers, slipped on the top which was not loose, but clung, stepped into the boots with the heel, and selected the jacket that matched rather than contrasted the leather of the trousers? Had she not been saying she was a woman in control, one who had sexual tastes, one who could choose? That was the rub, what did she choose?

Mornington Crescent. No-one got on, no-one got off. She looked back over at Andy. His smile had faded, he looked serene, reading the advertisements above her head. It seemed clear that he had given up hope of this going anywhere. She could see him thinking 'nice, sexy woman, had a brief chat with her, certainly would have liked to get to know her better, to bed her, but that's life, it's all too hesitant these days' or something like that. Geraldine wondered if he would fantasise about what might have happened. That shook her. Would she fantasise about what might have happened as she lay back in her bed later tonight? More accurately would she fantasise about what she could have let, no, made, happen? For a moment Geraldine told herself it could just be a cup of coffee, a quiet chat back at her flat, but knew that was foolish. He would be polite if that was all that he got, Geraldine knew that. She was savvy enough to recognise a 'new man' at a hundred paces. What Geraldine was focusing on now, was would that be all she would settle for? She almost felt like shouting out to the carriage: 'what do I want?'.

The train stopped at Camden Town, with large numbers of teenagers milling around the platform whilst others from this train pushed in amongst them, seeking out the excitement the bars and venues of the district offered. Now the carriage was quieter. Geraldine looked over, Andy's eyes were closed, as if he were meditating, or she hoped, as if he were fixing her image in his mind. She looked to the left of him where her image was reflected in the train window. She saw a sexy woman dressed in black leather, her hair, her make-up, stylish, maybe a little provocative. She did not see Geraldine Hopkins, but a woman knowing the evening was pretty young and that sex was on offer if she wanted it, for the taking, on her terms. As the train pulled out of Camden Town, Geraldine stood up, smoothing out the leather around her thighs and bum, straightening the matching jacket. She walked to stand by the door, but slowly, teasingly, looked back to Andy. His eyes were still closed and that irritated her, the least he could be doing was looking at her, trying to persuade her a little more. She wondered if she had been wrong to think well of him.

The train stopped at Kentish Town and the door opened with its heavy sigh. Andy's eyes flicked open. He looked across at where Geraldine had sat, an expression of acceptance mixed with disappointment on his face.

Were men idiots? Geraldine asked herself as she looked firmly at him, over her shoulder. Knowing she had only seconds she leapt forward and grabbed Andy's right hand, almost pulling him physically through the door. As they staggered on to the platform, the train door closed and the electric engines' moan began rising again and in moments the train was gone.

Geraldine could feel her heart racing. As yet the reality of what she had done had not penetrated her mind. She needed to keep up momentum and still with Andy's hand in her grasp she wrapped her arms around him and pulled him in tight, her mouth hungry, kissing across his cheek until their lips locked and Geraldine eased her tongue between unresisting teeth. At the taste of him, she knew she had made the right decision.

Geraldine loved the sensation of pushing her body against Andy's, the snug sensation multiplied, by the pressure of his chest against her breasts as he breathed. For a moment, Geraldine fancied stripping him down here, she could feel his cock pushing hard against his trousers as her hand on his back pressed him against her. She gasped as he gripped her buttocks in his hands, lifting her up into him, bringing the leather harder against her flesh.

Whilst Geraldine was enjoying the instant, snatched nature of what was happening, a desire was growing within her for more. She knew she had to have Andy strip her from her clothes and lick her naked body. She broke from the kiss and almost pulled him along the platform. Geraldine was clearly leading the way. The ticket barriers were open and they were soon out in the street heading towards Geraldine's flat. She stopped at the end of her road, to refresh the taste she had of Andy's tongue on her own. As they came nearer to the flat, not speaking, Geraldine could feel a deeper heat building within her that she recognised as a true arousal, this was going to be more than a snog when the pub had closed. She realised that, after so many years without sex with another, she was lusting after this man, he was more than suitable to be Mr. Right Now.

Geraldine tried to calm herself as she fumbled in her handbag for her keys. She did not want to put Andy off by appearing nervous, though she was as eager as a teenager to be closing hard with him. The door opened and the two of them staggered into the hallway. In seconds Geraldine was pressed against the wall, her smooth leather skidding up it as Andy drove in hard, his hands groping, stroking wherever they could. Geraldine let herself rise and hooked her legs behind him, crossing her booted feet. She loved the way her black leather sheathed legs stretched to entrap him. Andy stumbled but carried her successfully through into the living room, and with a delicacy lowered her onto the couch. Yet, Geraldine would not let him go, pulling him on to her with hands and legs, almost mewing in pleasure as his body slid easily across the leather, through the circle of her legs so that his weight rested comfortably on her. Immediately his lips and tongue probed around Geraldine's neck giving her the most delightful of shivers.

Geraldine began tearing at his jacket, then plunged her fingers under his pullover to let them roam on his warm, firm body. It felt so good to have impassioned skin in her grasp, all these sensations she had fantasised of in the past few years, felt so much better in reality. Andy fumbled to get his top off, but Geraldine tore it from him, so glad he had worn something practical that gave her quick access not like the boring buttoned and collared shirts Peter had favoured. Geraldine impatiently snatched at his belt and pulled it free, and as he rained kisses on her face and neck, Geraldine had his chinos half off.

A thought came into Geraldine's mind. This experience had to be savoured. Her initial hunger was sated, and she knew she had Andy for the night. With little grunts and prodding from her legs she pushed him off the couch and into a standing position, with his trousers round his ankles. Geraldine looked at his expression, worried it would be disgruntled, but it seemed more curious, even eager, to find out what Geraldine did next.

"Finish it off." Geraldine commanded breathlessly.

To Geraldine's satisfaction Andy got the message and within moments had shed his shoes and socks, disentangled himself from his trousers and removed his underpants. Geraldine sat there, running her eyes over his naked body, lingering on his erect member, looking forward to feeling it inside her. Geraldine stretched out one black shiny leg and with the toe of her boot prompted Andy to turn slowly, as she admired his shapely bum.

"Keep turning." Geraldine ordered and Andy obeyed slowly.

Geraldine realised how hot she felt, but was reluctant to shed her leather. She slipped off her jacket, then quickly tugged the top over her head to reveal the crimson silk bra below. She slipped the jacket back on, loving the cool feel of it against her bare arms, and the similar, tantalising sensation of her necklaces riding on her bare cleavage.

Geraldine stood and walked slowly, accentuating her steps as if she was a horse at a dressage exercise, placing the toe of her booted foot on the floor then following with her weight on to its heel. Andy became impatient and lunged forward, quickly running his hands beneath the jacket to release Geraldine's bra and, as it fell to the floor, latching his tongue on to a hard nipple, his hand rolling the other between his fingers. Geraldine threw back her head in delight, speech was difficult, and after initial embarrassment she let her words be replaced by moans of pleasure as Andy sensitively, but with strength, sought out her pleasure centres. He lowered himself to his knees and quickly unzipped Geraldine's trousers. Reaching his fingers inside her found her silk panties dark with her juice. His fingers pulled the thin silk aside allowing his tongue long strokes across Geraldine's mound. Geraldine gasped, she was panting, wondering when the sensations would stop, but then his moist tongue connected with Geraldine's erect, starving clitoris and she felt a charge emanate from her sex, rocking her body.

Geraldine staggered back and sat down on the couch with a bump, but Andy was not discouraged and crawled on his knees to her so he could continue his work. Geraldine swung one leg over his right shoulder then the other over his left, again loving the sight of her perfectly leather clad legs pulling this man into her sex. That was the last rational thought Geraldine had as Andy's head nudged up her leathered crotch, skimming easily across the shiny material until his tongue was again in place, running round the lips of her sodden pussy, returning savagely to her clitoris, pushing Geraldine further and further. She was now nothing more than a creature of sweat, of leather, of wordless sounds, of sexual juices, of pleasure. Then the final piece slipped into place as Geraldine let herself live for the instant, unconcerned with anything except what she was experiencing. Her head disappeared into white light, waves of sensation sweeping up her body, centred on her pussy, her clit, but shooting out throughout every fibre of herself.

As her breathing slowed and Geraldine's body returned to some kind of normality, she felt an eagerness. Part of her said she should be grateful, part of her that she should not retain the favour, but the side of her which was now a sexual predator, had had its appetite whetted and its desire to feast some more became dominant. Geraldine unhooked her legs and lent forward pushing Andy back to standing. Slowly she stretched herself in a deliberately feline gesture then stood, thrusting Andy with her hands against the wall. His cock was hard, glistening in the low light. Geraldine raised herself on tiptoes and with after a few moments of jostling impaled herself on his rock hard flesh. It slid so easily into her loose, juicy pussy and Geraldine began shifting, rocking, to get the best sensations from it. Geraldine kissed Andy's sweat covered body, trailing her tongue over him, pulling herself back if she felt he was becoming too aroused, then thrusting again when he was calmed, slapping her leather covered body against him as she came in hard once again so that his knob could dig deep within her.

"Please, please." Andy's voice came weakly, and Geraldine knew what she wanted, but she stepped away, leaving him resting against the wall. He was hesitant, but then as he reached for his cock with his hands, Geraldine yelped at him.

"No!" She screeched; she was the one in control.

Geraldine stepped closer and guided Andy's fingers to massage her pussy lips, to stroke at her clitoris for the few moments it took her to become ready. Then she eased herself back on to Andy's flesh, taking only seconds for the sensation of his cock inside her and his body pressed hard against her aroused nipples for her to explode once more. Her coming triggered Andy's and Geraldine felt she was draining him of life as he slumped, seemingly sucked dry by what Geraldine had done to him.

Geraldine stepped back, so highly aroused not just by the sex she had had, but the realisation that she stood here clad in black like a mistress with Andy before her as her naked toy. She retreated to the sofa and lounged back. Wearily Andy watched her. Geraldine ran her hands over herself, smoothing the leather of her trousers, blemished by Andy's spunk. Smiling, she gestured him over to her and pointed to one patch of sperm. He hesitated but got the message and slowly licked the leather clean. Geraldine pointed out another and Andy went to work. Delighted, Geraldine knew she was building towards yet another great orgasm. It had certainly been an excellent Saturday.


Epilogue
The underground train was busy as Geri stepped on board. She was dressed in a new outfit, a cropped maroon leather jacket sat over the suede bustiere which hugged her shapely breasts. It matched the maroon leather pencil skirt which ran sleek and tight to her knee. Geri loved the smooth taut single sheet of leather stretched tightly across her thighs and ran her fingers delicately over it. Sensuous stockings emerged from beneath the leather but soon disappeared into the sharp-heeled, knee-high boots she wore. Catching her reflection in glass of the train, Geri smiled. Close by was a tall man, probably in his late forties, thick, long blond hair tied back from his face, his body encased in black biker leathers. Geri set him as her target and shifted at each stop until she was hanging from the rail faced towards him, the expanse of maroon leather skirt just inches from his lips. As the train jerked, starting away from a station, Geri let herself be thrown forward. She shuddered with pleasure as she felt the man's hand steady her waist and with her free hand she entrapped it there, pinned between her fingers and the smooth leather she loved so much.

A little surprised, the man looked up, and as his eyes locked on Geri's she slowly ran her tongue over her russet-painted lips. She could see her flat was going to have another first-time visitor tonight.

THE END.

Leather Story: New Leathers, New Lovers

This story was very much inspired by people and events that I witnessed while living in London in the late 1990s/early 2000s. The character of Jenny came from a woman I met in a pub in East London who was doing a degree in her late 20s. The leatherwear shop was inspired by those that you found in large numbers along Oxford Street and Carnaby Street back in those days, most of which have gone now. The bar was inspired by places around Soho Square. Ironically the character I named Mac turns over to be very similar to the doctor of that name in the series 'Green Wing' who also rode a motorbike.


New Leathers, New Lovers


“Jenny, it’s over.” Paul said, now sounding irritated.

“What? Where did this come from?”

“You must have noticed things between us have changed.”

Jenny shook her head indignantly.

“That’s the problem you see nothing beyond your own concerns. You don’t see what I need.”

“What do you need? We have good times.”

“What do you mean? We hardly talk, you’re always typing away on that computer every chance you get. We’re not close any more.”

“What’s this about? Sex?”

Paul hesitated. “To some extent, yes.”

Jenny looked away, gazing carelessly at a magazine on the table. She did not know what to say.

“When we first met you looked good, you dressed sexily, you had an energy. Now that’s gone.”

“Things are tiring, life is tiring, work...”

“Yes, the job, the course, the novel. Am I fourth or fifth on that list? Look what it has done to you. Have you looked in the mirror recently? Look at what you’re wearing.”

Jenny looked down at herself. From the rather battered slippers passed the long loose brown skirt to the baggy sweater she had had for years. They were comfortable, they were what she wore.

“It is a Saturday night and you look ready to slump down with a cup of cocoa.”

Jenny looked over at Paul. He did look ready to go out to a night club, a trendy short sleeved shirt, the shiny dark grey trousers, the chunky shoes, his hair combed up. She was the younger of the two by a couple of years, but even she had to admit it did look like an aunt and her nephew arguing.

“I’m going out. There’s nothing more to say now. We’ll talk more tomorrow.” Paul walked into the hall and picked up the new long leather jacket he had bought. He glanced back at Jenny as if her some chance.

“There’s someone else isn’t there?” Jenny snapped at him. His changed manner, the new jacket had told her.

Paul glanced back but said nothing. He went out through the front door. The fact he did not slam it irritated Jenny, as if he was no longer interested in wasting his anger on her.


Jenny was beginning to wonder why she had come into town. Part of her thought it was better than sitting at home wallowing in self-pity or getting too drunk. Part of her knew it was because she wanted to see who Paul was with. If he was with John or Andy or any of the other mates he had, she could go home happy. She walked through the shopping centre gazing from the gloomy street lit by orange lights into the brightly lit pubs and bars. They were busy but she was certain she would be able to see him. She heard the sound of girls giggling behind her. She stepped aside imagining them to be teenagers. The group of four walked passed her, dressed in bright foil dresses and long boots. As they did she could see they were not teenagers, they were her age, late twenties. Among them she saw Karen who Jenny knew from the college and she must be five years older than that. She watched them as they hurried up the street laughing and joking, throwing out saucy comments to a group of lads on the other side of the road. They were having fun, they were enjoying their bodies, not trying to be stick-thin supermodels, but proud in what they had.

Jenny stopped in front of a bar, one she and Paul had used to go to. The interior had been changed, but as she looked in she still recognised a couple of the staff behind the bar. Then she saw him. A feeling ran through Jenny as if she had been punched in the stomach. Paul was there with Andy and Gill, his girlfriend. He was standing holding a bottle of beer in one hand, laughing. It was only as she looked harder that she saw Paul’s arm was wrapped around a woman. Jenny pressed closer to the window taking in all the details. She had expected some blonde bimbo ten years younger than herself but this woman was her own age. Her hair was a very dark brown, stretching beyond her shoulders. Not too different to Jenny’s, but it looked fine and smooth, well tended not a mass of knots like her own generally was after a night of re-working the latest chapter. Her face was made up, not tarty but sophisticated. She probably looked as blotchy as Jenny in the mornings, but this was not a cold morning, it was an evening out and her look fitted.

The woman wore a tight silk blouse. Her breasts were average but were enhanced by the silk which clung to them and the bra she wore below. From the glances Jenny caught between the blouse’s buttons she at first thought it was silk, but then realised it was leather. It must be the softest leather ever. Jenny had no doubt the women had leather knickers to match. Paul’s hand was cupped around her bum which wore tight shiny leather trousers. The way they rippled as the woman moved showed they were real leather, not some fake plastic. She looked both comfortable and yet sexy. Jenny had never really thought the two went together, but this evening she could see a woman who had combined them successfully.

Jenny did not know what to do now. She felt drained. She had found the answer that she had expected. She felt some kind of relief but this was edged with anger at Paul, that he could not admit there was this other woman. Something told Jenny to storm into the bar, to slap him across the face and pour his beer all over him, but that was juvenile, she would come off looking worse. It would be better to go in calmly, as if she had just stumbled across him on her way home, then embarrass him in front of his friends, in front of the whole bar. She turned back to look at him again. The woman’s hand was stroking up his back, smoothing the leather of his new jacket. He responded and turned to kiss her, a long lingering kiss. They were the lovers, not herself and Paul, they had never looked like that in public, she had always been too self-conscious. This woman was unashamed, proud to be with Paul, Jenny knew she would not succeed in embarrassing her. She told herself it was best to go home.

Jenny looked through the window for the last time, now feeling bemused by it all. Then she saw that Paul and the others with him had gone. Urgently she looked up and down the inside but could not see them in the crowd. She could not let them run into her out here. Andy and Gill knew her well and for them to see her would be too much, but to meet Paul with his new woman would be total humiliation. Jenny turned to walk away up the street. Then Andy and Gill came out of through the door. Paul followed on after them. Jenny shrunk into the shadows, praying she would not be seen, but unable to look away. Paul hesitated at the door. “Lucy, you’re coming?” He asked.

Jenny heard the voice before Lucy stepped through the door into the street light.

“I was just getting my jacket.”

Lucy came on to the pavement. She was easing on a cropped black leather jacket as she did. It matched her tight trousers in its shine. Paul wrapped his arm around her, hugging her shiny smooth bum as they carried on up the street. The high-heels of Lucy’s ankle boots clicked as she walked away. Jenny stood transfixed. The woman was at once so confident and so sexy. The light caught the shiny leather as she walked. It rippled and caressed her with every step.

Jenny was flushed, somehow embarrassed seeing the woman. She felt inadequate, knowing she did not have a fraction of Lucy’s attitude, not an ounce of her sexiness. Then she felt a jealousy, a hunger, wishing it was her strutting away instead of Lucy. To be dressed like that and embraced by Paul, the thought made her tingle. Nervously she followed, somehow feeling that if she stayed in sight some of the magic would rub off on herself. In moments the couple had crossed the road. They were heading towards a new night club. Jenny followed and joined the queue three or four people back. She just caught glimpses of Lucy, laughing, whispering in Paul’s ear, no doubt about her plans for him later.

Then they were gone from sight, passed through into the nightclub. Jenny was nervous, she was uncertain what she would do. The idea that she should confront Paul returned. She would tell him that she could be everything that Lucy was if he came back to her.

“Sorry love, I can’t let you in.” The bouncer’s words snapped Jenny out of her thoughts.

“What?”

“I can’t let you in.” The bouncer was firm but patient. He nodded to another couple of women who stepped past him. He moved to the side guiding Jenny away from the queue.

“Why? I’ve got the money.”

“That’s not the problem. You’re not dressed right.” He nodded to the women just going in with their spangly string-strap tops and tight jeans. “You have to be wearing something at least like that.”

Jenny did not argue, she knew it was true. “Okay.” She spoke quietly, but the bouncer had already turned his attention to the next clutch of customers. The excitement of seeing Paul and Lucy had faded. They were out of her sight and she could not conjure up any images of what they were doing. Suddenly she felt very tired and foolish standing on the street with all these people around. Slowly she began retracing her steps home.


Jenny walked slowly up the road back home from the station. Her boss was a sympathetic soul and had given her the afternoon off, even encouraged her to book a beauty session in town. Her argument was retail therapy worked every time and a session with a beautician could make a new woman of you. It had been days since Jenny had seen Paul, though from the fact his clothes and other items had gone from the house she guessed he had been back when she was at work. Jenny thought him a coward. What she wanted was not retail therapy but the final argument, to drag the answers out of him, to find out where Lucy had come from and to insult and condemn her.

As Jenny turned into her road she froze. There was a car outside her house. Then Paul emerged carrying a box. Without thinking, Jenny began walking faster, looking intently, making sure it was indeed Paul. As she got closer she noticed what he wore, his new leather jacket was now matched by baggy leather trousers, no doubt Lucy’s influence. Then the woman herself emerged. She had some kind of holdall. She was dressed from head to toe in burgundy, burgundy leather at that - a long length jacket, looser trousers than the night in the bar but ones that still showed her shapely body and kitten-heeled boots to match. As they set what they were carrying down by the car, the couple stopped to kiss. Lucy pulled him close locking him in place with her thigh wrapped around his bum.

“Paul!” Jenny said with force, but not shouting. She cleared the short distance to him in moments.

“Jenny.” He seemed really surprised. “I thought you’d be at work.” Paul’s arm stayed around Lucy’s back, holding her close as if to defend her.

“No.” Jenny said. Now the initial assault was over she did not know what to say. She glanced over to Lucy. She noticed that beneath the jacket she wore just a black leather waistcoat, and nothing below.

“You’d like that, Paul,” Jenny said accusingly, “just a row of popper buttons and you can be touching her skin.”

“Yes, I like that, I like it a lot. Lucy does too.”

Lucy said nothing but slowly nodded.

“Lucy and I are lovers, how we dress, how we respond to each other is part of that.” Paul continued. “When I tried to come close to you, I did not see a woman even aware of being a sexual creature. I faced having to grapple through the shelves of the local charity shop to reach you, uncertain what I would find beneath it all. With Lucy I see a woman who is confident, proud of her sex, pleased to be with me. Even you can see that.”

Jenny was speechless. She looked down at her work clothes, dated but smart. She was angry that she had nothing to dispute Paul’s argument.

“Jenny,” Paul’s voice was softer now, “I was not going to try to intrude if you wanted to shut me out. You were telling me we were no longer close by throwing yourself into your work. It took Lucy to show me the signals I had been missing.”

Jenny was tired. She turned into her pathway. “Okay.” She said softly. She turned back at the door and watched for a few moments as the couple loaded the car. Even as Lucy did something as mundane as put a box into the boot, she gave off her signals, Jenny watched the leather of her trousers tighten as she bent and release as she stood. In moments she was in a car and moments later than that Paul and her were gone.

Jenny glanced at her watch, she had to hurry if she was going to get to town inside. She threw aside all the thoughts that had been running through her mind and concentrated on a quick lunch and changing to go out.


“There you are madam.”

Jenny looked down at the neatly manicured nails, now painted silver. She had to admit they did look good. She glanced into the mirror at the make-up on her face. She looked serious, but more energised. She ran her tongue along her shiny dark red lips, blew herself a kiss and laughed. Her boss would be pleased, if no-one else. Then she told herself that was being too hard. She was actually enjoying the pampering, it had been what she needed. With all the herbal tea and kind words from the beauticians, however false, she did feel comforted and all thought of Paul had gone from her mind. She began thinking instead of buying some clothes or going for afternoon tea.

“The final touch.” The hairdresser said proudly. Jenny again tried to place her accent, uncertain whether she was Dutch or Scandinavian.

The covers came off to reveal Jenny’s new hairstyle. She almost jerked back with surprise. She knew it would be shorter by far than she had had it, but what surprised her was rather than the auburn colouring she had expected, it was a rich blonde.

“That’s the E3 colour?” Jenny asked slowly, remembering back to the chart of colours she had perused when she came in.

“Yes, A3, as you asked. Doesn’t it look great, very strong and dynamic.”

“Yes, it’s great.” Jenny turned her head a little. The colour accentuated the short length. The boss would be surprised when Jenny arrived looking like a power-dressing film exec.

“Lovely, I like the effect.” Jenny said, not wanting to hurt the woman’s feelings. The hairdresser brightened with the positive comments. Jenny kept looking. Well, if this was the post-Paul Jenny, this was her. She paid and tucked her clutch of products into her black leather handbag, the one she had not used for ages.

Jenny left the salon. She wandered through the department store in a bit of a daze, surprised every time she caught sight of herself in a mirror. She did not recognise the blonde, short-haired woman with the smooth make-up. She drifted aimlessly through the clothing sections, with half a mind to buy an outfit to go with the new haircut. That made her brighten a bit. No-one was paying attention to her, she did not stick out the way she had feared. She had no idea what she wanted, but everything looked too suited to teenagers or grannies. As Jenny lifted a few things from the hangers she again felt people were looking her, mentally telling her she was unsuited for what she had picked. She put the stuff back, she was not going to find anything in a busy place like this. Jenny walked out of the shop into the street letting herself go with the flow of the crowd. She thought about what Paul had said and began thinking about what he would like her to wear. She agreed she had probably not cared as much as she had, and just tossed on what was comfortable with little thought for her appearance or what made her feel good to wear. How Lucy dressed was no doubt how he would like to have seen her.

Lucy! Suddenly through the crowd Jenny was sure she had seen her. The burgundy leather was distinctive enough and the woman she saw had the same long dark hair. Jenny hurried to catch up, not certain what she do if she found her. Jenny dodged through the crowd on the pavement, it seemed to be getting busier. Lucy was still in sight waiting to go over at the next crossing. Jenny could gain on her. Then instead of crossing there Lucy turned right and went over the main road as the green man on that crossing appeared. Jenny slipped between the shoppers, trying not to knock into anyone as she did. Somehow Lucy seemed to have got ahead again. Then Jenny just caught a glance as she turned into a shop. In moments Jenny was there. Like many of the shops in the area it was on two levels. Upstairs sold jeans and teeshirts, then at the head of the stairs to the basement level stood two mannequins dressed in long leather jackets.

There was no sign of Lucy upstairs so Jenny headed to the staircase. As she walked down the steps she left the noise of the street behind. Below was an Aladdin’s cave. It was a large space with leather jackets and trousers at one end, a wide assortment of boots at the other and odd items of clubbing gear between. The air was heavy with the drowsy scent of leather. Jenny reached the foot of the staircase and looked around, there was no sign of Lucy. She began to turn to leave.

“Can I help? Are you looking for something special?”

Jenny turned back to see a small Asian man appearing from a stock room. She felt embarrassed, but warmed to the man’s tone. Here with no other customers she felt there was no rush.

“Erm, er, yes.” She said walking into the centre of the shop. “A jacket.”

“Yes, good. We have a whole range, the best prices. Three-quarter length?” The man asked with the experience of years in the trade. He crossed to the hangers between the full-length ladies coats and the shorter jackets.

Seeing the black leather the image of Lucy coming out of the bar with Paul flashed into her mind. “No, something shorter. Erm, cropped, what’s that style?”

“Ah, yes, a bolero jacket.” The shopkeeper moved along to the shorter jackets and pulled down one in black leather.

“Yes, that’s it.” Jenny replied, forgetting this was some sort of pretence. “A bolero, but a bit shinier.” It did not quite match the image in her mind.

“Ah, you want glazed leather. Very popular.” The man lifted down a similar jacket, but the shine on it was what Jenny had had in her mind’s eye.

“That’s it, great.”

The shopkeeper walked over with the jacket draped across his hands so she could see it. He hesitated and Jenny realised he was waiting for her to try it on. Quickly she pulled off her wool jacket and laid it on the padded bench. The man walked around her as she slid her arms into the jacket. In moments it was on her. It felt comfortable and looked good. She walked to the mirror admiring it. It made her look more alive. She twisted round so she could see the back. She ran her hands over the seat of her jeans, still visible below the short length of the jacket.

“You’d like some matching trousers?” It was a woman’s voice. Jenny looked round to see her coming from the storeroom. The assistant could have been the shopkeeper’s daughter. She did not wait for Jenny’s reply but lifted down a glazed pair of leather trousers.

The shopkeeper muttered something Jenny did not understand and the assistant swapped them for a pair without back pockets. She held them by the waist and turned them back and forth so Jenny could see how smooth the line was. She walked over to hold them against Jenny’s waist. Jenny glanced down imagining her legs covered in the shiny leather.

Jenny felt she had to say something. “Do you have these, but a little tighter?”

“Ah, you want skin-tight, yes, we have them in the glazed.” The assistant nodded her understanding and lifted down a slimmer pair.

“I’ll try them on.”

The assistant pulled aside the curtain to the small changing cubicle and hung the trousers from the hook inside. Jenny hurried in. She hurried to take off her faded jeans. Then she took the trousers almost quivering. As she put one foot and then the other into the trouser legs she worried they would be too small, but as the leather slid up her calves, past her knees and over her thighs it seemed to shape to her. The steel buttons drew the trousers tight around her. Jenny stepped from the cubicle feeling excited. She could not take her fingers off the smooth leather but kept stroking it. She crossed to the mirror oblivious of the others. It was if the skin of her legs had become glossy black. She looked at how the leather rippled as she moved but came back to its perfect smoothness reflecting the light. Jenny knew she had to have them. She again turned her back to the mirror. This was the image she had seen of Lucy. Now she could see herself walking away from the bar like that, she was the sexy one.

“How about boots?” Jenny looked down. The court shoes she wore looked wrong with the trousers.

The shopkeeper smiled broadly and walked to the other end of the shop, indicating the range they had from heavy clompy boots for goths to thigh-length PVC ones.

“No ankle boots, I have some of them. Something a bit longer, something with a heel.”

The shopkeeper returned with a couple of pairs. Jenny sat down and tried them. At first rising from the floor as she wore them felt strange, but soon it was less of a novelty. Jenny tugged up the third pair of boots and rose on the heels. She was getting used to the extra inches. These stopped at the knee. She walked to the mirror and stood, twisting them back and forth to catch the light. She walked back over to the bench. The assistant was setting down a new longer box on the floor.

“I think these are what you are looking for. We are selling more of them than ever. Customers like the length.”

Jenny watched as the woman took the black shiny leather boots from the box. She was already shedding the others. She had seen some this long appearing even in high street stores, but they were still not very common. She pulled one then the other on. They slid smoothly over her leather trousers. The were the perfect size and widened as they stretched beyond the knee. Her thighs, with the smooth leather drawn tight over them, were still visible but the rest of her legs were encased in the boots. She strode to the mirror, feeling that in these she could do anything.

Jenny glanced back at the assistant. “Yes, you’re right. I’ll take these.”

The assistant gestured to his daughter and handed something else to her. Jenny was curious what it was.

“How about a bustiere to finish off the look?” The woman suggested. She held a broad band of black leather.

Jenny felt a thrill run through her as she saw it. The idea of the leather caressing her breasts as it already hugged her bum excited her. The shopkeeper had read her precisely, he knew she was changing before his eyes.

Jenny took the bustiere between her fingers and felt the smooth leather. The assistant let it slide into Jenny’s hands and then pulled back the curtain of the small changing cubicle then closed it behind her. Jenny was breathless as she slipped off the jacket. She hung it quickly on the hook, knowing she would soon be putting it back on. Her fingers struggled to unbutton her plain blouse fast enough. Then it was off, followed quickly by her bra. Jenny glanced for an instant at herself, naked to the waist and leathered below. In the quiet of the shop she could hear every soft creak of her trousers and her boots as she moved. That thought excited Jenny - her tight leather trousers and her long leather boots. She wrapped the bustiere around her and zipped it up. Jenny gasped as the leather pulled tightly against her midriff and her breasts, pushing them up, proud in the shiny leather. The sensation was exhilarating. She grabbed for the leather jacket and pulled it up her bare arms into place.

Jenny emerged from the cubicle like a butterfly from a cocoon. The shopkeeper hurried to clip the sales tags from her clothes, he knew there was no way she could leave without buying them. Jenny stepped forward to the full-length mirror. She did not recognise the blonde leather-clad woman who stood before her. She turned to the side and ran her fingers over the shiny leather that coated her thighs. Her backside was a smooth hemisphere, pert and counterbalanced by the orbs of her breasts. Every tiny movement, every breath she took created small ripples, and the comforting sound of the leather she wore.

Jenny collected her small handbag and slung it over shoulder. She realised how many leather items she had had without realising, this bag, her gloves, now all seemed part of the whole. She handed over her credit card to the shopkeeper. As he handed back the receipt Jenny shuddered as she realised the clothes were no longer things she was trying on in the shop, they were her own. The assistant gave her a carrier bag with her old clothes neatly folded inside. They now seemed so mundane, part of Jenny’s former life.

“See you again.” The shopkeeper called as Jenny walked to the stairs.

“No doubt.” She glanced back with a smile and strode briskly up the stairs towards the street.

Jenny stepped out on the pavement and for an instant she felt she had just woken from a dream. She took a few paces to get out of the way of the press of shoppers. She retrieved her gloves from her handbag and slipped them on. She then walked away, feeling flushed all over, nervous and self-conscious of how she looked to others. She was aware of how differently the clothes she now wore made her move. The heels of her boots made her walk with a strut, and she felt her bum swaying sexily with every step. Part of her wanted to slip into some department store and change back into her old clothes, but she told herself she had come this far, she had made a real change. She somehow felt protected, the leather was not like feeble cotton or wool, it shaped to her, it would not tear or get wet. As she felt it shielding her, holding her whole body in comfort, her confidence grew. Jenny lifted her head and walked with assurance. She would see women dressed in leathers, not a totally rare sight in London, and would smile as if they were part of the same secret club. She smiled too as she knew that if Paul saw her now he would not be able to take his eyes off her.

Jenny stopped for a moment wondering what to do next. She realised she had been walking aimlessly along the street. She felt she had to explore her new existence a little more. It was fine to strut around in public, but how would people respond to her one-to-one. She glanced down the side roads off the busy street. She was looking for a bar, something quiet but trendy. Jenny would never have gone for a drink at this time of day, but that was the old her. She caught sight of a bar that described itself as a ‘rendezvous bar’. She laughed to herself that a rendezvous was what she was looking for. A good encounter dressed like this would confirm to her she had made the right decision. She turned down the road. Before she did she shoved the carrier bag into a waste bin. She wanted to be seen as a woman who always dressed like this, not some housewife out for a treat. Jenny walked to the bar, delighting how the sound of her heels clicking could be heard in the quieter street. She glanced in through the window and her mind flashed back to the Saturday before. She felt a little contemptuous of that timid Jenny standing outside the bar in town. The place looked decent, comfortable fittings and a mixture of customers, business types and smart shoppers, no sleazy looking nerds.

Minutes later Jenny was carrying her glass of wine over to the stripped pine table. She eased into the deep brown leather sofa. She could see herself reflected faintly in the glass. She turned her chest back and forth to see how the light caught the line of her breasts. She had tucked her gloves into her jacket pocket and gently stroked her fingers up and down the smooth leather of her thighs. She felt strong and confident.

“Hello, could I sit here?”

Jenny looked up suddenly, startled by the man’s voice. She tried to speak, but coughed. “Erm, yes, yes, be my guest.”

As he put the glass on the table and lowered himself into the armchair beside it, Jenny ran her eyes over him. She guessed he was around thirty. He had long fairish hair held back at the nape of his neck. He wore a long loose black leather jacket and matching leather jeans. The large white shirt suggested to Jenny that he was an artist. She felt excited, sure that he had been attracted to talk to her by the leather she wore. For the first time she realised that seeing her dressed this way people would make assumptions about what sort of woman she was. She knew from seeing Lucy that she would give out the air of someone confident and sophisticated, she had to avoid ruining the image.

“Are you waiting for someone?” He asked.

“No-one in particular.” Jenny liked how that sounded, she was enjoying this role.

“Been shopping?”

“Just looking.” She smiled, trying to make it sound flirtatious.

Jenny looked him over again. He seemed less confident than when he had come across. Now she worried she was too much for him, but she was determined not to let him go. She ran her eyes over him, wondering what it would be like to caress and kiss him dressed as they were, their leather stroking across each other’s.

“You can call me Tamzin.” Jenny said. She did not look like Jenny, she certainly was not going to behave like Jenny.

“My friends call me Mac.”

Jenny reached forward to shake his hand, with mock formality, she was keen to get a little closer, clean to initiate some contact.

“Mac.” She repeated the name and sipped at her drink. “And what do you do?”

“Computers, music.”

“Which, computers or music?”

“Both. I remix and edit. The main office is round here. I just delivered them the finished session for today.”

“Sounds interesting. You’ve got the rest of the day off?”

Mac nodded. “Sure.” He seemed more at ease. Jenny moved a few inches closer. “How about you Tamzin? What are you doing for the rest of the day?”

“Getting to know you better.” Jenny giggled. She was finding it hard to hold back from grabbing this man and running her hands over his leathered body. She felt she had to resist, not to do what her body was hungry to do. Yet, deep within her she felt she could not miss the opportunity. He would expect it from a woman who looked the way she did. She did not appear some timid mousy woman, she appeared one with confidence, confidence to dress the way she wanted, to be so obviously sexy.

“So what do you do for fun?”

Jenny felt she was winning. He was interested, he was relaxing, he was interested in Tamzin, in herself. Jenny’s body felt empowered, she felt strong, she realised she felt happy.

“I write.” It was the truth. “A novel.”

“Oh, I like writing too,” Mac said as he leant forward. His lips were only a couple of inches from her skin. His voice fell into seductive soft tones, “erotic verse on my lovers’ bodies.” He whispered into Jenny’s ear.

Jenny felt more confident, somehow her leather gave her that. She felt if she stood and wrapped herself around Mac their clothes would merge bringing them impossibly close together. The schoolgirl giggle had gone. Boldly Jenny fixed her eyes on Mac’s and ran her tongue slowly across her glossed lips as if she were a cat licking cream.

“Here, these are some samples.” Mac leant back and pulled a small leather bound notebook from inside his jacket. As Jenny took it could feel the heat of his body still coming from the leather of the book. She flicked through the poems, they were short but intense. She tingled first at what the words said, then at imagining them being delicately written across her body.

Mac moved on to the sofa beside her, the leather of their thighs touching.. His hand cupped hers that held the book. The other rested on her leathered thigh. Jenny took it and gently guided it across the smooth surface, her skin tingling with the gentle pressure reminding her how she was dressed. Then their mouths came together. Jenny shuddered as if current had run through her. She could smell Mac, smell her leather, smell his, all mingling in her nostrils. She gasped a breath and then locked again, feeling his hands cup her smooth backside as she clutched at his back.

Mac sat back, unable to stop grinning. “You’re not a woman to beat around the bush.”

Jenny smiled. “No, when I see something that looks tasty, I like to taste.” In the back of her mind a voice was asking what she thought she was doing, but the rest of her knew precisely. She ran her finger along her lip, then sipped more of her drink.

“Would you like an early dinner?” Mac asked, still sitting close to her.

“Certainly, I’ve nothing planned.” She stood, delighting in her body as she rose on the heels.

Mac scrambled to his feet. He hurried to open the door for her and they stepped out on to the street. “My car’s parked just down there.” He gestured to the blue sports car.

“I thought you’d have a motorbike.”

“I do, for weekends, but you’d have to get a different set of leathers to ride that.”

“I look forward to selecting them. For now I assume these’ll do for riding you.”

Mac answered with a kiss. “You are sinful.”

Jenny just laughed. Mac opened the car door and Jenny got in, her leathers slid easily across the seat. In moments Mac was beside her. He reached over to strap the seatbelt across her. Jenny wriggled with pleasure as his head rested on her breasts for an instant. As he sat in his own seat with his hand stroking her thigh Jenny glowed inside, knowing he could not keep his hands off her.

“You keep your hands on the gear stick.” Jenny said as she reached over and began stroking the leather that covered his thigh.

“Where to?”

“Brighton.” Jenny replied.

As the car started Jenny was tempted to look back, but knew it was not worth the effort. She looked over at Mac and then at the road ahead.
