#9 of Jane Doe and The Secret

This story takes place in an alternate timeline to the one in my Swiss Mix stories. In this series, Hans and his father Karl are both Americans, and live in a suburban community. This is from the same series as my story "A Sleepover with Jane".

More secrets are revealed as Melanie has a heart to heart talk with Karl about doing Dominance and Submission roleplay, and also convinces him that it's okay for Hans to wear a Princess costume to the pagan party. Hans gets his costume, complete with high heels and sexy underwear. Melanie takes Karl to a fetish store where her best friend, Mossflower works. Karl finds out that Melanie had a brief lesbian relationship while in college, and what triggered it. They buy their costumes, and the kids get to see Melanie dressed like a Dominatrix for the first time.


The Secret - part 5

By DoggyStyle57 - November 2012

Melanie Kelley and Karl Bernerholdt had just finished a very satisfying lovemaking session after dinner, and were snuggling together, muzzle to muzzle in bed. The pretty tricolor collie girl had been particularly enthusiastic tonight, staying on top of her muscular Bernese Mountain Dog boyfriend and riding him non-stop though three fantastic orgasms for him, and at least half a dozen for her.

"Penny for your thoughts?" she asked. "You seem kinda quiet tonight."

"I was just thinking about the suggestions you made after dinner tonight, for our costumes for the Halloween party," Karl replied. "Or Samhain, or whatever you Wiccan's call it. I'll certainly grant that going as a dominatrix and her male sex slave is very opposite to how you and I act in public, or even when we're in the bedroom in private. But it's so much different that I was wondering how you could be so comfortable with suggesting that we go out in public dressed like that - in front of our kids, even. My only experience with that sort of thing is from reading a few porn stories on the Internet which quite unexpectedly swerved into that sort of sex, and seeing a few DVD's of that sort of stuff on the shelves in the adult shops, but never watching those movies. Honestly, I got rather turned off when what I read started to include things that hurt the 'enslaved' girl. I don't see how jabbing a needle through someone's nipple or dripping hot wax on their genitals is sexy. And that has me rather concerned, when coupled with your offer to 'make it worth my while in the bedroom, while we work out the costume details'. Are you actually into that sort of behavior?"

"OH! Oh NO, Karl, I don't like the idea of being hurt, or of hurting anyone else! I don't even have pierced ears, let alone nipples or other places. There are many very different ways to do fetish roleplay - as many as there are people that like it, I suppose. Yes, I have done some 'Mistress and slave' roleplay in the bedroom before with... just one lover, back while I was still in college. But we never did the sado-masochistic stuff like needles or wax, where you really could hurt someone. The farthest we would ever go with anything painful was to spank the slave with a bare hand, or with a riding crop that had a flat leather flap on the end," Melanie said. "We only experimented with it for a couple of months, and not all the time, even then. But when we did try that fantasy scene, one of us would play the submissive role, and wear a collar and cuffs, and usually get tied up so we couldn't touch or pleasure ourselves. Then the dominant person would slowly stimulate their slave while using them for their own pleasure. In the end, both people have a powerful sexual experience. The submissive one is giving complete trust and control to the dominant one. You sort of give up all guilt and responsibility, and just respond to what happens to you. It's all play-acting and completely consensual. Both of you pick a 'safeword', and if you can't stand what is happening to you, then you just say that word, everything stops in its tracks, and anyone who is bound or collared is set free. It's like the director on a movie set shouting 'CUT!' Regardless of what roles the actors were playing, everyone goes back to normal and the scene ends."

"Still, it sounds like you were really into that. So you played a dominant role over a submissive boyfriend? And you want to do that with me?" He asked. "I'm not a very submissive person. You know that. I'm more of an alpha male. I like being in control of a situation."

"The... person I used to do that with would swap roles with me, so we each took a turn at being in the dominant or the slave role. They preferred the dominant role, just like you probably will. But accepting being on the other end of the leash at least occasionally can teach you a lot about what the other person feels, and how to make them respond more favorably," she replied nervously. "Look, it's really not that big a deal for me, okay? I only suggested that we try a bondage fantasy because it fit the costume party theme, and it really does produce some very incredible sexual responses, when you do it in the bedroom. The... the most powerful orgasm I've ever had in my life happened while I was blindfolded and tied over the end of a bed and getting licked, and I couldn't touch my lover, or myself, or do anything but lie there and ride the waves of pleasure."

She paused a moment, then kissed him and said, "Karl, I want you to understand that except for that... that one other person, you're the only lover I've ever had who I trusted enough to offer complete control of my body to like that. But we don't have to try that with each other, or even use those particular costume ideas for us for the party, if it would be unpleasant for you. We could do something else for bedroom fantasy play. I could pretend to be a teenaged school girl, and you could be the guy taking my virginity, or, well, whatever fantasies turn you on. I'm a good actress, and I can do all sorts of roles. Or we can just stick with plain vanilla oral and vaginal sex, which has worked fine for us so far."

Karl kissed her gently, and said, "Well, when you put it like that, I guess I can't complain. I'll give it a try, as long as it includes nothing more harmful than spanking. That school girl fantasy sounds rather intriguing as well. I guess around Halloween it will be easier to find something like that at a costume shop, right? Have any ideas where to go? I certainly don't, myself. The few Halloween costume displays I have seen so far didn't have anything remotely sexy."

"Yes. I wouldn't have suggested it if I didn't already know where to go for that stuff. My best friend, Mossflower, has a part time job on the weekends, working at a place that will have just what we need," she told him. "I know Mossy will be on duty there on Sunday morning. She always requests that shift, since she's pagan and doesn't have a Church service to go to on Sundays. Can we go there this Sunday morning and get our costumes? We can leave the kids with my parents."

"I guess that will be all right. What about the kids' costumes though? I mean, really, letting my boy dress like a Princess, in a dress?" Karl said. "I'm not sure I like that idea. It could give people the wrong sort of impression about the boy. I definitely wouldn't want my parents to find out about that, understand?"

"Well, your parents don't even live in this town, so how would they find out, if we don't tell them? Trust me, dear, nobody at that party will care if Hans shows up dressed like a Princess, or if Ryan shows up dressed like a Prince. Most of them don't even know him yet anyway, and will just assume he's another girl child at the party. Honestly, my girl dresses like a boy all the time, even when going to school every day, and I don't worry about her. I think Hans is just trying to understand Ryan better by seeing what it is like to wear the other gender's clothes, that's all. It's not as if he will suddenly stop liking girls! Ryan tells me he's very enthusiastic with her in bed every evening and every morning. I can confirm that they've been using up two or three condoms a night. Believe me, your boy has no issues performing sexually with girls."

"Well, all right," Karl conceded, "as long as my parents never find out."

===

On Saturday morning, Melanie tapped on the door of the kids bedroom and asked, "Ryan, Hans, may I come in? Daddy went out to the store get us some fresh milk and pastries for breakfast. We have some privacy for about an hour."

"Ummm, okay mommy, come in," Ryan said.

Melanie stepped into the room. The kids were pretty much naked on the bed, with Hans wearing a teal colored pair of bikini panties, and eagerly lapping at Ryan's cunny. He was lying atop his girlfriend in 69 position, and from the splatter on Ryan's muzzle as the girl peered at her mom over the boy's rump, he had apparently just finished blowing his load into her mouth.

"Still taking good care of Ryan, I see Hans. Good boy," she said.

"Yes, mama. Hans makes sure I cum at least twice every morning, an' I make him cum at least once," Ryan said. "I just hope daddy... doesn't walk in... on us an' see... see Hans' panties! OH! Arooohooohhh!" The little collie girl howled happily as Hans gave her another orgasm.

"Sounds like you're getting quite good at that, Hans. Don't worry, kids. Karl won't come into your bedroom without knocking, and then waiting for you to confirm that you're both 'decent'. He knows you're likely to be mating, and he's promised to respect your privacy," Melanie sat on the bed beside the kids and told them, "Now, I talked some more with Karl last night, about our scheme for you two to both cross-dress for the Samhain costume party. He's still not particularly thrilled with the idea of you dressing as a girl and going out in public, Hans. But I think I have him convinced that you're doing it to understand Ryan better, since she always cross-dresses as a boy. At any rate, he's allowing us to do it."

"Yay! When do we get our costumes, mom?" Hans asked, rolling off of Ryan and giving Melanie a big hug. "I can't wait to have my very own Princess dress!"

"We'll get your costumes today, after breakfast. Costume Universe has some good-quality kids' Halloween costumes on sale. We'll buy what we need there, as if the Princess outfit was for Ryan and the Prince for you. But you'll swap when we come home to try them on," Melanie replied.

===

After breakfast, Karl politely declined to go with them to buy the kids' costumes, claiming that he really needed to rake the leaves off the lawn one last time before fall weather got so wet that the leaves made a real mess, and then he wanted to run some errands to the hardware store and a few other places, to buy some scary Halloween decorations. Melanie accepted his excuse, though she was pretty sure her boyfriend just didn't want to watch as his son selected a dress to wear. She just kissed him and told him they would be back in a few hours.

Without Karl being with them, Melanie was free to go all-out on Hans' Princess outfit. She got the boy a pretty red Princess dress with tiara from the costume shop, and made several other stops where they also purchased a set of high heeled red shoes to go with it, and red thigh-high stockings, a red bra and matching panties for the boy to wear under it! She also bought several kinds of hair bows and a small makeup kit, so Hans wouldn't need to rummage around in her makeup supplies if Ryan wanted to make him pretty for her.

Ryan's Prince Charming outfit included a floppy flat hat that she could use to hide her hair, and looked like an Italian Renaissance outfit with tights and a bulging codpiece. Melanie also bought Ryan a set of black ballet flats to wear with the tights, and they were pleased to find out that Ryan and Hans wore the same shoe size.

Hans could hardly contain himself when they got back from costume shopping. "Can I try it on now, mom? All of it? Even doing my hair and makeup?" he asked eagerly.

"I guess we can," Melanie said. "Your father probably won't be back for another hour or so."

As Ryan and Melanie dressed Hans up and did his makeup and hair, Melanie commented, "You know Hans, I really do appreciate you including me in making you pretty and girly like this. I really don't mind that Ryan prefers to dress and act as if she was a boy. But I've missed this aspect of having a daughter. Now I can have fun making one of my kids pretty and feminine again!"

When they were done, Hans twirled in front of the dressing mirror, grinning and giggling. "It's perfect! I look just like a real girl! Thanks mommy!" He stumbled a bit because of the high heels, and added, "Oops! Gonna take a while to get used to these shoes."

"Well, why don't you wear them for a while each evening while you're in the bedroom with Ryan, or when your father is out of the house?" Melanie suggested. "That will give you some practice. The trick with heels is to keep your weight on your toes. The heels are really only there to rest your legs when you're standing still."

Hans was still dressed as a Princess when Karl got home. He and Ryan had been practicing dancing in the living room, so Hans could get used to moving in the high heels.

"Oh! Errr, hi daddy!" Hans said, blushing as he saw his father.

"Well, Karl, how do they look?" Melanie asked.

"Ummm. Well... It looks like I still have a son and a daughter, I guess. They just traded places. You're very... pretty, Hans. Now, can someone help me with unloading the Halloween decorations? And I picked up a pirate costume for Hans to wear when he goes trick or treating in the neighborhood on Halloween night. I... suppose the dress is all right for your pagan friends, Melanie. But I'd rather not have the neighbors see him like that."

Hans looked disappointed, but Melanie held up a hand and said, "That's fine, Karl. Ryan can wear the Princess outfit for trick or treating." She winked at the kids, who muttered and agreement and went to their rooms to change back to their normal clothes.

===

The next morning, Melanie left Ryan and Hans with her parents, while she and Karl went on a shopping expedition that was definitely not going to be 'family friendly'.

"The store that Mossflower works at will have just what we need for our outfits for the Samhain masked costume party, dear," she told him, as she drove them to the store in her own little 4-door sedan. "And they will probably have several other fun things that we will want to get for ourselves, or for the kids. It's a pity that we can't take the kids there to choose their own playthings, but we can't."

"A costume shop that doesn't allow kids? That seems a little odd," Karl said.

Melanie laughed and said, "Well, this isn't a Halloween-type costume shop, dear. It's a store that's open year round, for people who buy lingerie and fetish outfits for kinky adult fun. I haven't had a reason to buy many things there before this, but I know we can get leashes, cuffs, collars, and a leather corset there. Other interesting stuff too. Here it is!"

Karl looked out the window of the car. The shop was named 'Leather Dreams', and was clearly an adults-only shop specializing in fetish clothing. "Why am I not surprised that Mossflower works here? Is she into kinky stuff like this herself?"

Melanie bit her knuckle and said, "Well... she'll do just about anything her current partner finds to be fun. Come on in. No need to pay the meter on Sunday."

===

The store wasn't half as seedy as Karl had feared it would be. But they both had to stop in a small entry room and show their ID to a bored looking, college-aged Terrier girl with multiply pierced nostrils and ears, and then pay a nominal fee and sign a small waiver form that was technically a one-day pass to enter a private club, before she would open an interior door and let them inside. A sign on the interior door warned that nudity was permitted inside, for customers and employees, but that no actual sex or use of sex toys was allowed on the premises.

"The membership fee gets refunded with any purchase," Melanie said as they entered. "That club membership stuff is just to make it legal for people to be nude inside if they want to be, so they can try on the fetish outfits and show them to each other."

Once they were in the store, it was surprisingly large, brightly lit and sensibly laid out, with large, well-stocked sections clearly designated for sex toys, lingerie, fetish wear in several categories, kinky shoes, and a small selection of hardcore porn DVD's and magazines. There were about a dozen other people shopping there, equally mixed, it seemed, between males and females. About half of them were only partially dressed, and were wearing fetish outfits while posing suggestively for each other.

"Some people pay the fee just to come in here and prance around in front of strangers while wearing these outfits," Melanie said, following Karl's gaze to a group in fetish wear nearby. "No one minds, as long as no one has sex in the building."

Mossflower was in the middle of an octagonal central service desk and cashier's area, surrounded by eight glass display cases full of dildos, vibrators, and odd things like handcuffs, collars, and what looked like a set of anal beads sized for an elephant! They must have been at least three inches in diameter, and there were seven of them on a stout rubber-coated cord that ended in a steel pull ring.

The slender redheaded Saluki was topless, and Karl saw now that she had pierced nipples, with small gold chains going from her nipple rings to a ring on the front of a locked leather collar that she was wearing. He couldn't tell if she had anything on below the waist, but it wouldn't have surprised him if she was entirely nude. Beside her was another topless girl in her early 20's, a Samoyed dog with the short, curly hair on her head dyed bright purple, and the rest of her normally white body fur dyed a pale purple.

"Heya Mossy!" Melanie called out, as casually as if she was greeting a fully-dressed friend in a public park. "How are you doing?"

"Tight and firm, baby!" the Saluki girl replied with a giggle, cupping a firm C-cup breast in each hand and jiggling them. "Hey! I see you brought your boyfriend! Heya Karl! Remember me? Welcome to Leather Dreams. What sort of kinks can we turn you on to today, baby?"

"I'm not at all sure," Karl said, still staring at those huge anal beads in disbelief. "This was Melanie's idea. She wants a corset, and, umm, a leash, some cuffs and a collar. They're for your costume party on Samhain, actually."

Mossflower laughed heartily and replied, "Oh, you'd be surprised at how many new customers we get just before Halloween, who insist that what they are buying is 'just for a costume party'. Don't worry, baby, nobody here will judge your fetishes or sexual preferences. 'And harm none, do what ye will' lives proud and strong here. So, are the cuffs and collar for her, or for you, big guy?"

"Ummm, for me, but really, it's... just for the party. I've never done this sort of thing," Karl said.

"Well she has, and I can tell you from personal experience that she's damned good at it, when she wants to be baby," Mossflower said with a wink. "Those Theater Arts majors can really set up an awesome scene. Play along and keep an open mind, and you may have new worlds open for you, Karl. "

"Wait... Melanie? You said you only did that with one person before this, right? SHE was that person? You... and Mossflower... were lovers?" Karl asked finally.

Melanie blushed when Mossflower casually outed her kinky side, and blushed further when Karl demanded an explanation. "Umm, yeah? We, well, tried a few things with each other while we were both in college, that's all. I told you most of the boys wouldn't hang around once they knew I had a kid, right? Well, Mossy didn't care. And Mossy, please don't joke about sex with my boyfriend. Karl and I are getting handfasted at Yule, but we haven't had much time yet to, well, share our most intimate secrets, okay?"

"Yeah, she was pretty hot, baby," Mossflower said, "But don't you worry. All kidding aside, I promise you that I won't ever try to steal her back from you. Given a choice, she'll pick a guy every time over a girl, and I can dig that groove. And believe me, if she's even thinking of handfasting with you, she won't cat around with anyone else, male or female, unless you ask her to do a threesome with someone you both like. Announcing you've made handfasting plans also puts both of you strictly off-limits for me, unless you both ask, loud and clear, for me to join the two of you in bed. Same goes for most Pagans, baby. And hey, please don't hold it against her if the two of us had a little fun together, okay? Be mad at me, if ya gotta blame someone. I was a pushy, dominant bitch in college, and I caught her on the rebound after a particularly nice-seeming guy dumped her, right before Christmas last year. I plied her with margaritas to numb the pain, and then took her home to comfort her, in my own way. It took me a month to put her back together emotionally, and another two months after that for her to trust a guy enough to date one. Once she got back on the straight path though, I let her go, and no hard feelings. She's still one of my best-ever friends. But she's the kind of girl who would never be happy with a steady diet of eating tacos, you know? She needs a good meaty sausage on a regular basis!" She laughed at her own jokes, while Karl stared at her.

"Karl? What she means is, I found out with her that I'm bisexual, but I definitely prefer males. Mossy is bisexual too, but prefers girls. But Karl, the only lover I want now is you. Please believe me?" Melanie pleaded. "Karl? I know your parents are homophobic, but y-you aren't going start to hate me just because you know now that I had sex with a girl a few times, are you?"

Karl took a deep breath, and then said, "No, I don't hate you, Melanie, nor do I hold any grudge against you, Miss Mossflower. It's all right. I just... hadn't expected anything like that at all as part of your history. My parents wouldn't be at all pleased to know that about you, that's true. But I... suppose I would be a hypocrite to hold it against you myself that you've had a lesbian lover, when I've enjoyed porn occasionally that had lesbians in it. Let it go. Miss Mossflower, can you help us make those purchases?"

"Call me Mossy, please. All my close friends call me Mossy, and I hope you will too, Karl. My best friend's boyfriend ought to be my friend too, right?" she replied.

"Thank you for being open minded, dear! Let's shop for my stuff first, Karl," Melanie said happily, giving him a big hug. "I'll even wear my new outfit while we shop for your stuff. Mossy? Can you help me to select a corset for a Dominatrix look?"

"They're over here, babe," Mossy said, picking up a cloth tape measure and then coming out from behind the counter. Karl noted that the Mossy was also nude below the waist, and had a doubly-pierced clitoral hood, decorated with a pair of gold rings. "Full torso, or under bust? And do you want one with steel boning that will really make your waist smaller, or an elastic one that just gives the look?"

Melanie looked at her tummy, and said, "Hummm. Steel boned, black leather, with exposed breasts and underwires. Not a really tight one, since I'm not used to a corset, and I plan to wear it all evening at the party. But I wouldn't mind eliminating an inch or so from my waist. And I'll want a leather bra and a leather thong panty to go with it."

Karl watched as Mossy measured Melanie and they selected the pieces for her outfit. Then Melanie took them to the dressing rooms to change. It took her a while to get the outfit on, because Mossy needed to help her with the corset lacing So Karl turned slowly in place and looked around the rest of the store while he waited. The purple Samoyed girl was smiling at him and licking her muzzle suggestively when he turned to face the counter, and from where he was standing he could see that she was also fully nude. But then another customer came in, and the Samoyed got busy helping them.

"Well, what do you think, Karl?" Melanie asked from behind him.

Karl turned, and stared, slack-jawed at his girlfriend.

Melanie was wearing a tight black corset that definitely seemed to give her more of an hourglass figure. The corset exposed and pushed up her breasts, emphasizing them, but she had on a red leather bra that covered all but her nipples, and the bra had thin velcro strips around the nipple holes for matching leather nipple caps that she held in one hand. The red leather thong she was wearing was so small that her white-furred labia came around the thin thong strap on both sides below the tiny triangle of red leather that only barely covered her clitoris and the upper half of her pubic mound. She wasn't wearing anything else at all.

"Wow... That's some outfit! But I think for the party you'll need a thong that covers more of you. That one's vagina floss!" Karl said.

"He's right babe, though I love the way that looks on you," Mossflower agreed. "You gonna get matching boots? That outfit just screams for some over the knee black leather and 'fuck-me' high heel boots."

Melanie attached the nipple caps and slipped off the thong, right there, trying on another red leather one that covered her better. "How about this one then? And yes, the boots are next, Mossy."

"Better," Karl said. "I... wouldn't mind you in the other thong if it was just us, in the bedroom, but not in front of the kids."

"Okay, I'll get both!" Melanie said with a grin.

She bought a pair of black high-heeled boots that came to above her knees and put them on, giving Karl a bag that held her street clothes. Then she bought a small riding crop, and a leather belt with several rings on it, and added those to her outfit, with the crop threaded through one of the rings. She also got a red leather half-mask, since the party was for masked costumes, but she didn't wear it.

"Okay, I think this will do for me, for the party. What do you think of these schoolgirl outfits, Karl? Should I get one for bedroom playtime too? I can play a pretty sexy schoolgirl." She was pointing to several racks of pleated plaid miniskirts in various colors, and cropped-waist white shirts. A mannequin near the display racks showed the full ensemble.

"Ahhh, sure. I guess we could do that too," Karl said, his cock twitching and stiffening in its sheath.

She selected a school girl uniform with a red plaid pleated skirt, white bare-midriff blouse, red knee socks, and black Mary Jane shoes, and after trying on the outfit over the bra and corset and taking the boots off to try the shoes, she handed the schoolgirl outfit to Karl to hold.

"Leashes, collars and cuffs, next," Melanie said. "For both of us. If he's willing to wear a collar for me, I'm willing to swap places and do it for him."

Mossy took them to a display rack and said, "Since you're both not that heavily into bondage, I'll suggest our deluxe beginner sets here. They're nice leather, and they can be locked, but see this place where it looks like the locking buckle is securely stitched in place? There's Velcro under it, for a quick release. No fumbling for keys if someone panics and wants to be set free quickly."

They picked a red set of a matching collar, leash and cuffs for Melanie, and a black set for Karl, trying on several of them until they found the right sizes for each of them. All of the items, including the leashes, had locking rings for padlocks to lock them with, and larger rings on the cuffs and collars that Melanie explained were for attaching other ropes, locks or chains. She also bought a spool of silver metal chain, four hanks of red silk rope, and a bag of two dozen black-painted locks that all used the same keys.

"You have some diagonal cutters in your tool bag at home, don't you, Karl? It's cheaper to buy the chain by the spool, and cut it to whatever lengths we need," Melanie explained.

"Ummm, yes," he replied, trying to imagine how the chain would end up being used.

Mossy then helped Karl to select a suitable leather pouch thong for himself. "Take off the pants, babe. You can do it right here. No need to be shy," she said.

"Oh, all right," Karl said, handing their shopping bags to Melanie and stripping off his shoes, socks, pants and shorts right there in the middle of the store. The purple Samoyed girl at the counter gave him an appreciative wolf-whistle and a thumbs-up gesture.

"Ohhh! You're gonna need the larger size pouch yourself, babe! That's quite a nice sheath and balls you have there. No wonder Melanie here wants you so bad!" Mossy said, as she selected a different thong and handed it him. "There, that looks fantastic on that muscular bod of yours. Now, how about a nice strappy body harness for you, eh? Something with several rings for attaching ropes and locks and chains? Works for either the slave or Master, for a guy, and you'd look so hot that way." She pointed to another mannequin with the outfit she was suggesting.

"Wear it for me, Karl?" Melanie asked pleadingly. "I'm getting wet just thinking of you in that outfit!"

"I suppose. But how are we going to get to the party, dressed in these getups?" Karl asked, as he took off his shirt and handed it to Melanie.

"We also sell some nice plain cloth robes," Mossy said. "Covers anything that matters. They're in the corner, by the bathroom, see?"

When Karl had found a harness that fit and put it on, Melanie offered him two masks. One was a simple half-mask like hers, but in black leather. The other was a much more complex fitted hood that could cover his entire head and muzzle, with zippered covers that could expose or cover his eyes, his mouth, or his entire muzzle, and could be locked on at the neck. "Which one, dear? Or can we get both for you?" she asked.

"Not that hood! Sorry Melanie. That would be way too claustrophobic for me, especially with the openings fastened shut. I'll have to draw the line on that one," he said.

"No? Okay, it's your choice," she replied, handing the hood back to Mossy to replace on the rack.

They got matching midnight blue, thigh-length robes for each of them as cover-ups, and then Karl said, "Isn't that enough? We must have over five hundred bucks worth of kinky stuff here already."

"Just about. You go get dressed again, and then go to the DVD rack and find us a few DVD's that show people doing Master/slave or Dominatrix/male slave roles, okay? I want to pick out a few new sex toys, and some lingerie for Ryan and myself."

While Karl was busy, Melanie quickly went to the sex toy area and selected a strap-on harness with both inward and outward facing canine dildos, three vibrating butt plugs, two ball gags, two blindfolds, and two g-spot vibrators, adding those to the stuff she was buying. Then went to the lingerie area and selected two identical baby-doll nighties in a silky, transparent red material, with red satin bras and crotchless red satin panties, all trimmed with scarlet lace - one set in her size, and one set that Ryan could share with Hans.

Mossflower had most of the purchases rung up and bagged by the time Karl got back to the cash register at the central counter. He handed her the harness and leather thong that he had been wearing, and then said to Melanie, "Okay, I'll pay the bill while you get changed."

"By the way, in addition to you getting your 'membership fees' back, I used my employee discount card for you and gave you twenty percent off. Call it an early handfasting gift, from me." Mossflower said.

Melanie was still wearing the dominatrix corset, bra, thong and boots. She had already taken the belt and crop off and given them to Mossflower to add to the bags, and had put her short black skirt on over the outfit. She grinned at him and said, "Actually, I think I'll wear the rest of this home. With my skirt on, it covers me as much as my street clothes. And I want to get used to wearing this corset and these boots. It's been over half a year since the last time I wore a real corset, and that one was Mossy's and never really fit me all that well."

"All right, if you insist," Karl said, looking skyward as if appealing for divine aid. "I guess the kids and your parents will see you in that when we go to the party anyway. Let's go."

===

When they got back to the duplex, Karl went next door to get the kids from Ryan's grandparents. Melanie took their new purchases upstairs, left two bags in the kids' bedroom, and left the rest in the bedroom that she now shared with Karl. She took off her skirt and admired her black and red dominatrix outfit in the dressing mirror, before going back to her family.

Hans, Ryan and Karl were all in the living room when she got downstairs.

"Wow! That's a really wild outfit, mom!" Ryan said. "Is that what you're gonna wear to the Samhain costume party?"

Hans just stared at Miss Melanie, as if she'd just stepped out of the TV screen while he was watching a porno movie.

"Pretty much. It has a belt and some accessories that I left upstairs," she said. "I left a bag of things for the two of you in your room. I'll get together with you two later and explain how some of it is used."

"Thanks mom!" Ryan said. "When do we get to see daddy's costume?"

"Later!" Karl answered rapidly. He still wasn't that sure about parading around in front of his girlfriend's ten year old daughter in such a sexually revealing costume. Or in front of his own son, for that matter! "I... need to get used to wearing it in private, first."

"Daddy is embarrassed, dear," Melanie said. "He's not used to near nudity like we are. Give him some time to get comfortable with the idea. Have you two had dinner yet?"

"No, mama," Hans replied, finally finding his voice, but still staring at Melanie.

"Karl? Can you get dinner started?" Melanie asked. "I'd like to show the kids what I bought for them."

"Sure. I'll get some pasta going," he replied.

When Melanie got the kids to their room, she locked the door and said, "Now, as far as your dad knows, most of this is for Ryan, or for you to use on Ryan, all right, Hans? But some of it is really more for you. I think you'll like these things, but I'm not sure. I'll explain about them and you can decide if you want them or not. I can return anything you don't try to use."

"Yes ma'am," Hans said. His tail started wagging as he asked, "So... you got me some more girly stuff?"

"Very girly, yes. I don't think Ryan would wear this outfit unless I threatened to withhold her allowance, but I bet you'll love it," Melanie said, as she rummaged around in one bag and pulled out the baby-doll night gown set.

Hans' eyes lit up when he saw the silky, transparent red material, the red satin bra and the crotchless red satin panties. "Wow! For me? Really? Mom, you're the best! Can I try them on now?"

"Go ahead dear," Melanie replied. "Oh, and I got myself a matching set. Should be fun once we get your father used to seeing you in things like that, and used to you having sex with Ryan in the same room with Karl and I. Now, this one is for my little tomboy," she said, handing Ryan the strap-on harness with the inward and outward facing canine dildos.

"Oh wow! That looks... really strange, mommy. What's it for?" Ryan asked.

"You wear the harness like you would wear panties. It's adjustable enough to fit either you or me. This inner dildo goes inside your vagina. The outer one sticks out as if you were a boy, and had a real cock. You can also detach the outer one to be able to put your clothes on while the inner one is still held inside you by the harness," Melanie said. "I have a set just like this, but I haven't used it since I was in college. There's lubricating gel in the bathroom, next to the large box of strawberry flavored condoms. Make sure you use that lube, if you use it to fuck Hans' butt, or if he tries to fuck your butt with his cock."

"You mean, she could wear that, and fuck my butt as if she was a boy?" Hans asked, now naked and slipping on the crotchless panties. "Cool! How did you know I'd like getting my butt fucked?"

"A lucky guess. Figured if you liked looking like a girl, you might like being fucked as if you were a girl," Melanie said. She moved over to Hans and helped him to adjust the crotchless panties so his sheath and balls extended through the lace-edged slot in the seam of the garment. "There, that fits you fine. And the crotchless slot goes far enough up in back for your butt hole to be exposed. Now, you can also wear those with your cock under the front panel above the crotch slit. If you're careful how you arrange your balls, nothing will hang out through the slit to show that you're a boy from behind. You'll still have a large lump in front, but that can't be helped. Put the bra and nightie on too, dear."

She waited for him to put the rest on, and then said, "You're very cute in that nightgown, Hans! You'd be adorable if we did your hair up nicely."

"Thank you, mama. But I guess I better get dressed again for dinner time, right? Can I leave the bra an' panties on under my clothes?" Hans asked.

"Yes dear, you can," Melanie replied. She showed them the rest of the things in the bag, which consisted of two vibrating butt plugs, a ball gag, a blindfold, and a g-spot vibrator. "These are also for you to share. You might want to have me with you when you try to use these. Any questions?"

"Mama? Do you really think daddy will let Hans and I have sex with each other while you two are in the room and doin' it with each other? Will he let us watch you two having sex?" Ryan asked.

"Not right away, but I think he will agree to that eventually, children. If he does, I'll let you know right away, okay?" Melanie said.

That night, Melanie asked Karl to wait in the living room before they headed for bed, and said, "Wait here, until you hear me ring a bell. When you step through our bedroom door, you'll be my Master, and I'll be your passionate slave girl. Do anything you want with me then, unless I say my safeword, 'rainbows', okay? And don't ask politely! Order me to do it, no matter how frightened or reluctant I act! Remember, it's all play acting unless I say 'rainbows'. What safeword do you want to use?"

"Umm, would 'Garlic' do? I wouldn't say that accidentally, and it makes me think of something being too overpowering to stand," Karl said uncertainly.

"Sounds perfect!" she said. "So, wait here until I call you, and then we'll have fun."
