“Right.” Faith had forgotten about it. “What do you need me to do?”
“First, I need you to go to my bedroom. I’ll wait. ”
The other end of the line fell silent. Faith headed to Eve’s bedroom. Even with Eve’s permission, she felt an anxious thrill going into her boss’s room.
“I’m in your bedroom,” Faith said.
“I should let you know, there’s a camera in the room,” Eve said. “Hidden in the alarm clock.”
Faith looked at the small clock on the nightstand. It looked like a regular alarm clock. She wouldn’t have known it was a camera if Eve hadn’t told her. Had it been in the room when Faith went into Eve’s closet that day? Had Eve watched Faith snoop through her clothes?
Eve read Faith’s mind. “I got it after an incident with a nosy babysitter, but I could never bring myself to use it. Spying on the help just seems wrong. But before I left for my trip I thought of a much more creative use for my nannycam.”
Before Faith could ask what she meant, Eve gave her another command.
“Go into the closet and look to your left.”
Faith entered Eve’s walk-in closet. Hanging from a velvet coat hanger by the door was a baby doll chemise. It was made of sheer white fabric that was so fine and light it was almost transparent.
“Do you see it?” Eve asked.
“Yes,” Faith said. “What do you want me to do?”
“Put it on.”
“Now? Why?”
“Because my parents have taken the twins out for the evening. Right now, I’m all alone in the house, with nothing to do,” Eve said. “I need some entertainment. You’re going to put on a show for me. ”
It all clicked in Faith’s mind. The camera. The lingerie. Warmth crept up her body. This was not the kind of task she expected to be doing for Eve this evening. Faith certainly wasn’t complaining. Since the other night, when she and Eve had resolved to keep everything between them a secret, they’d barely had a moment alone. An illicit kiss here and there was all they’d been able to manage. Those fleeting kisses had only made Faith want Eve so much more.
She peered out at the room, her eyes falling on the hidden camera on the nightstand. “You’re watching me?”
“Not yet,” Eve said. “I want you to get ready first. Then the fun will begin.”
Faith smiled. “What kind of fun?”
“So many questions.” Faith could almost hear Eve shaking her head through the phone. “I told you you’d have to show me that you can submit to me. That you can obey my instructions. That you can surrender control. That is, if you still want that.”
“Yes,” Faith said. “I do.”
“Then you’re going to do exactly as I say. Now, put on the lingerie. And nothing else.”
Faith put down the phone and slipped out of her jeans and t-shirt. When she was down to her panties, she took the chemise off the hanger. The delicate fabric was weightless in her hands. It was extremely short, and it didn’t come with a pair of panties.
Heat rose through her. She stripped off her panties and slipped into the chemise, then turned to look at herself in the full-length mirror. The chemise only fell a few inches past her hipbones, barely enough to cover her. Through the sheer fabric, she could see the outlines of her nipples and the triangle of neatly trimmed hair at the apex of her thighs. Eve would be able to see everything.
Here goes nothing.
“I’m done,” Faith said.
“Go back into the bedroom and put the camera at the end of the bed,” Eve said. “Put your phone on speaker while you’re at it.”
Faith did as she was told. “Are you watching now?”
“Not yet. There are a few more things I need you to do first. Do you see the drawers under the bed?”
“Yes.” The king-sized bed had several drawers built into the frame underneath the mattress for storage. Up close, Faith could see that they had locks on them.
