MasukCASSY
The bathroom is luxurious and private. I lock the door and lean against it, trying to catch my breath. My reflection in the mirror is obscene. I look flushed and wrecked. The collar is visible now, I must have been tugging at my neckline without realizing it. I look like I've been fucked, and I have been. Just not in the traditional way. I clean up as best as I can, fix my makeup, and try to make myself look presentable. But the vibrator is still there waiting for the next time Sienna decides to press that button. And the worst part? A small, traitorous part of me that I hate with every fiber of my being… is looking forward to it. --- Lunch is at a restaurant so expensive it doesn't have prices on the menu. The potential investor is a man named Richard Hartley- old money, tech mogul, the kind of person who probably has senators on speed dial. He's charming in that way wealthy people are, all practiced smiles and warmth. "Sienna, always a pleasure," he says, kissing her hand. European affectation. "And who is this lovely creature?" "My assistant, Cassy Beaumont," Sienna says smoothly. "She's shadowing me today." "Beaumont?" His eyes sharpen. "Any relation to Marcus Beaumont?" My stomach drops. "His daughter," Sienna says before I can answer. "But she's made it clear she wants nothing to do with that legacy. Haven't you, darling?" Her hand is in her pocket. "Yes," I say quickly. "Yes, Ma'am." The vibrator pulses just once. Approval… "Smart girl," Hartley says, sitting down. "Your father's fall was quite spectacular. The FBI is still untangling that mess." I wanted to defend him, but he was a fraud and a thief. He destroyed Sienna's father. So I say nothing. Lunch is torture. They discuss investments, portfolios, and opportunities in emerging markets. Sienna is brilliant, she counters every point Hartley makes, turns his own arguments against him, makes him want to invest with her. And through it all, the vibrator torments me. She doesn't make me cum this time. That would be too obvious in public. Instead, she keeps me on edge. Pulsing it just enough to make me squirm, to make focusing on anything else impossible. And Hartley notices. "Are you feeling well, my dear?" he asks during dessert. "You seem... flushed." "I'm fine," I say. "Just a bit warm." "The restaurant does run hot," Sienna agrees. "Perhaps some water? Cassy darling, could you ask the waiter?" It's a test. She wants to see if I can walk. I stand on trembling legs. Make it to the waiter's station, and ask for water. When I return, Sienna and Hartley are laughing about something like old friends, equals, while I'm the pet. The girl who can barely walk because her owner won't stop tormenting her. We finished lunch, Hartley agrees to invest fifty million dollars, like it's pocket change. They shake hands. He kisses Sienna's cheek, nods at me. "Good luck with the training," he says to Sienna. She smiles. "Oh, she's learning quickly." He knows… of course he knows. Everyone in Sienna's world probably knows what she does with the girls she acquires, and no one cares. --- The car ride back is quiet. Sienna is on her phone again and I'm staring out the window, trying to process what just happened. She used me, humiliated me and made me cum in front of strangers, and I let her because I didn't have a choice. "You did well today," Sienna says without looking up. I don't respond. "I'm talking to you, Cassy." "Thank you, Ma'am," I force out. "You're angry." "Yes, Ma'am." "Good." She sets down her phone, looks at me. "Anger means you're still fighting. I like that. Breaking someone who doesn't fight is boring." "Is that what this is to you?" I ask. "Entertainment?" "No." Her expression is serious. "This is justice. This is you understanding what you did to me. What your family did to mine." "I was sixteen-" "So was I." Her voice doesn't rise, but the intensity in it makes me flinch. "I was sixteen when you destroyed me in front of everyone. When you made me a joke. When my father died, you and your family didn't even notice." "I didn't know-" "You didn't care." She leans forward. "That's the difference, Cassy. You could have known. You could have cared. But I was beneath you. My pain was irrelevant." She sits back. "Now you know what that feels like. To be beneath someone. To have your pain be someone else's amusement." We pull up to her building. The driver opens the door. "We're going upstairs," Sienna says. "And then I'm going to fuck you properly. Because you've been very good today, and good girls get rewards." My breath catches. "And after," she continues, stepping out of the car, "you're going to thank me for it." --- The elevator ride up is silent. The vibrator is finally off, she must have turned it off at some point but I can still feel the ghost of it. The penthouse is quiet. Sienna walks to the kitchen, pours herself a drink. I stand by the elevator, unsure what to do. "Bedroom," she says without looking at me. "Strip, get on the bed and wait for me." I walk to the bedroom on autopilot. Strip off the dress, the underwear, everything except the collar. I sit on the edge of her bed and wait. She takes her time, when she finally enters, she's removed her blazer. Just the white blouse and slacks. Her hair is still perfect. She sets down her drink on the nightstand and looks at me. "Lie back." I lie back on the silk sheets. She climbs onto the bed and straddles me. Her weight is solid. She looks down at me, "Do you know why I'm doing this?" she asks. "To punish me." "No." She unbuttons her blouse slowly. "I'm doing this because ten years ago, you asked if I really thought someone like you would ever want to kiss someone like me." The blouse falls off, she's wearing a black lace bra. She's so beautiful I must admit. "And I'm going to show you," she continues, "exactly what someone like me does to someone like you." She leans down. Her lips hover over mine. "I'm going to make you beg me to kiss you, Cassy. Beg me to touch you, to let you cum." Her hand slides between my legs. I'm already wet. I hate that I'm already wet for her. "And when you do… when you're sobbing and desperate and completely broken… I might… might… give you what you're begging for." Her fingers slide inside me. I gasp. "But probably not." She fucks me with her fingers. Brings me to the edge, stops… does it again and again. “Uhh… Sienna… please…” "Please what?" "Please let me cum… please, I can't, I need…" "Say it properly." "Ple… please let me cum, Ma'am, please…" She stops, pulls her hand away. "Not yet." I sob in frustration. She does it three more times, brings me so close then stops. By the end, I'm incoherent, crying and begging. "Please… please, I'll do anything, I… I beg you… just let me-" "Kiss me first." I freeze. "You want to cum? Then kiss me. Show me what you were too good to do ten years ago." She leans down. Her lips are right there. All I have to do is close the distance. All I have to do is give her what she wants. I close my eyes, lean up and I kissed her. Her lips are soft. She tastes like whiskey. The kiss is gentle at first, then deeper as she takes control, her tongue sliding into my mouth, claiming me. When she pulls back, we're both breathing hard. "Good girl," she whispers. Then her hand is between my legs again, and this time she doesn't stop. This time she lets me fall apart, lets me cum so hard I scream, my whole body convulsing. I'm still shaking when she climbs off me, fixes her clothes like nothing happened. "Thank me," she says. "Thank you," I whisper. "Thank you, Ma'am." "You're welcome." She picks up her drink. "Now go shower. We're going out tonight." "Where?" She smiles but it doesn't reach her eyes. "You'll see."CASSYThe applause dies down. Lily steps away from the podium with effortless grace."I won't keep you seated all evening," she says with a small smile. "Fashion should be experienced, not lectured about."A ripple of laughter moves through the room."I encourage all of you to explore the gallery. Speak to one another. Ask questions. Most importantly..." She pauses. "Stay curious."With that, the evening officially begins. Almost immediately, groups begin forming around the exhibits.Daisy hooks her arm through mine. "Come on."She practically drags me toward a display of evening gowns.I stop in front of one made entirely from layers of silk organza."How does this even stay together?""The construction is hidden." A voice answers beside me.I turn around. An elderly woman wearing a Parsons faculty badge smiles kindly."The best garments rarely show you how difficult they are to make."I nod slowly. "I like that."She studies me. "First time here?""Is it that obvious?"She laughs. "
CASSYBy the second month of the programme, Parsons begins to feel less intimidating.The whispers don't disappear completely. Some people still remember the leaked article. But they no longer define every room I walk into. Now people stop me to ask about fabrics. It's funny how talent changes conversations."Morning."I look up from my locker. Kevin gives me an awkward wave."Morning.""I tried what you suggested.""The shoulder construction?""Yeah.""Did it work?"He grins. "It actually did.""I told you."He laughs before disappearing into the studio.Daisy bumps my shoulder. "Look at you.""What?""Giving fashion advice like you've worked here for years."I roll my eyes. "I just answered a question.""You underestimate yourself too much.""I prefer realistic expectations.""No." She shakes her head. "You prefer hiding."That one lands. Before I can answer, Madame Laurent walks in."Everyone."Conversations stop immediately."We have a live client brief today."The atmosphere shif
CASSYThe room falls completely silent. My heartbeat pounds against my ribs. Madame Laurent doesn't answer immediately. Instead, she looks at me."Cassy Beaumont."I freeze.Lily's eyes finally leave the mannequin and settle on me. They're assessing. Like she's trying to understand the person behind the garment."So you're Cassy." Her voice is surprisingly gentle."Yes, ma'am."She nods once. "Tell me why you designed the shoulders this way."My throat suddenly feels tight. "The client profile described a woman in a position of authority."Lily doesn't interrupt."So I wanted the silhouette to speak before she did."I step closer to the mannequin."The shoulders are structured because confidence should be visible before words are spoken."A few students glance at one another as I continue."The waist is softer because power doesn't have to erase femininity."Silence.Lily studies the garment again. "And the colour?""I wanted something timeless.""Why?""Because confidence shouldn't d
CASSYMy eyes race across the first few lines. Then a tear slips down my cheek before I can stop it."I got in!"I throw myself at Sienna before I even realize what I'm doing. She catches me instinctively. She wraps one arm around my waist."I never doubted you."I pull back just enough to look at her."You did.""I doubted Parsons."A smile tugs at her lips."Not you."I shake my head, laughing through my tears. Then I kiss her before I know it.The next morning, I arrive at Parsons feeling different. Like I deserve to be here.Daisy spots me the moment I walk into the studio."Why are you smiling like that?"I hand her my phone. She reads the email.Then screams."You got in!"Half the studio turns to look at us."I knew it!"She throws her arms around me."I actually knew it!""I was terrified.""I wasn't.""You weren't?""No." She pulls back."You work too hard not to belong here."The words settle somewhere deep inside me. Belong. Maybe… I finally do.Madame Laurent enters precise
CASSY"Again." Madame Laurent doesn't even look up from the file in her hand.I suppress a sigh. This is the sixth time I've redraped the same piece of fabric.I undo every pin and start over.Beside me, Daisy whispers, "If she says 'again' one more time, I'm going to cry.""You said that yesterday.""I meant it yesterday too."I laugh under my breath.Madame Laurent's head snaps up. "If you're done entertaining yourselves..."The entire room goes quiet."...perhaps you can entertain me with decent work."Daisy mouths, We're dead.An hour later, Madame Laurent makes another round. She stops at my mannequin. Her fingers smooth over the shoulder line.She checks the waist. The hem. Then she walks away. No correction. No criticism.I blink. "Daisy...""What?""She didn't say anything."Daisy's eyes widen. "...Cass.""What?""I think that meas you're safe.."By lunch, everyone is exhausted. I collapse into my usual seat. Daisy drops beside me."I have news.""You sound excited.""I am."S
CASSYMy alarm rings at six. For the first time in months, I don't hit snooze.I throw the blanket aside, get dressed, and tie my hair into a loose ponytail before heading downstairs.The penthouse is quiet. I make myself toast and coffee. Halfway through breakfast, I hear footsteps.Sienna. She pauses when she sees me."You're awake.""I have class.""Hm."She walks toward the coffee machine. "You've been leaving earlier.""I have to."Another hum.That's becoming her favorite response these days.I finish eating and stand. "I'm leaving.""So early?""I want extra studio time."She nods once. "Fine."I wait. Usually she'd remind me to answer my phone. To text when I arrive and let the driver stay close.Today… nothing."Bye.""Have a good day."I blink. "...You too."By the time I arrive at Parsons, Daisy is already waiting outside. "There you are.""Were you waiting long?""Five minutes.""You could've gone inside.""I could have." She links her arm through mine. "But then I'd have
CASSYSienna's office is in Tribeca, in a building that's made of glass. The car ride over is torture. Not because of traffic or the silence, but because I can feel the vibrator nestled against me. Silent now, but there… a constant reminder that at any moment, with the press of a button, Sienna can
CASSYThe girl whose father died because of mine.The girl I humiliated in front of everyone when we were sixteen.She's holding a glass of whiskey, watching me with eyes that are empty of everything except satisfaction."Hello, Cassy," she says, her voice like silk over razors. "Surprise."I can't
The nightgown barely covers me. I catch sight of myself in the mirror, collared like a pet, wearing barely anything, my eyes red from crying. I've been through alot, I don't recognize the girl staring back. I walk back into the bedroom. Sienna is lying in bed, scrolling through her phone. She looks
CASSY"Hatred." She says it simply, like she's commenting on the weather. "Hatred is remarkably clarifying. It focuses the mind. Gives you purpose."We stop at a door."This is my bedroom," she says, opening it.The room is enormous. King-sized bed with black silk sheets. More floor-to-ceiling wind
