The Baseline Assessment
The morning air in the stockroom was thick with a new kind of tension. It was the uncomfortable rustle of stiff new fabric and the squeak of unseasoned dress shoes.
Tara leaned against a shelving unit, her arms crossed over the stark white of her button-down. She’d deliberately left the top two buttons undone, a small, defiant flash of the black lace bra beneath and the smooth skin of her throat. The shirt felt like a costume, but she’d be damned if she’d wear it like a uniform.
Jackie looked like she’d been strapped into a straitjacket. Her blouse was already pulling at the seams across her chest, and she kept tugging at the collar. “I feel like I’m going to a fucking funeral for my sex life,” she grumbled, shifting her weight in the constricting black slacks.
“Language, Jackie,” Amanda whispered, looking nervously toward the door. She was drowning in her own shirt, the sleeves rolled up multiple times. She looked like a child playing dress-up in her mother’s professional clothes.
Mack, for once, looked relatively unbothered. The minimalist uniform suited his detached aesthetic. “It’s just clothes,” he said with a shrug, not looking up from his phone.
The click of heels silenced them. Beth entered, a vision of corporate perfection. Her blond hair was perfectly styled, her glasses spotless. She carried her leather planner like a scepter.
“Good morning,” she said, her eyes doing a quick, assessing sweep. Her gaze lingered for a half-second on Tara’s undone buttons, a faint twitch at the corner of her mouth the only sign of disapproval. “I see everyone is adhering to the new dress code. It presents a cohesive brand image.”
Tara resisted the urge to roll her eyes. Cohesive brand image. She wondered if Beth had ever actually spoken to a real customer.
“Our focus today,” Beth continued, opening her planner, “is on establishing a baseline. In order to provide you with personalized coaching to maximize your potential, I need to understand your current performance metrics.” She launched into a speech filled with jargon—’sales funnel adherence,’ ‘feature articulation,’ ‘conversion efficiency.’ The words were dry, hollow shells that had nothing to do with the intimate, human transactions that actually kept Satin Desires alive.
Tara tuned out the corporate-speak, her mind going back to the strange doodle in the planner. T.B. inside that odd shape. Was this “baseline assessment” just a pretext? A way for Beth to watch her, to study her under the guise of management?
“To that end,” Beth concluded, her voice cutting through Tara’s thoughts, “I will be shadowing each of you throughout the day, observing your customer interactions.” A palpable wave of anxiety swept through the team, affecting even Mack, who finally looked up from his phone.
Beth’s eyes landed squarely on Tara. “Tara, I’ll start with you this morning. I’m keen to see your ‘charismatic’ approach in action.”
The way she said “charismatic” made it sound like a flaw. A challenge.
Tara met her gaze, a slow, deliberate smile spreading across her face. “Of course, Beth. I’d be happy to show you how we build loyalty here.” She emphasized the last word, a direct counter to Beth’s “efficiency.”
Beth’s smile was thin and professional. “Excellent. Let’s begin.”
As Beth turned to lead the way to the sales floor, Jackie let out a low mutter. “This is a bunch of patronizing bullshit.”
Beth stopped dead. She turned slowly, her eyes narrowing behind her glasses. “Jackie. A word.” She didn’t raise her voice, but the command was absolute. She gestured Jackie to the far corner of the stockroom.
Tara watched, her arms still crossed, as Beth spoke to Jackie in a low, sharp tone she couldn’t quite hear. Jackie’s posture went from defiant to defensive, her shoulders slumping slightly. Beth was establishing dominance, and she was starting with the most vocal opponent. Tara felt a fresh surge of irritation, mixed with that strange, unwelcome thrill from the day before. Beth wasn’t just managing; she was asserting control. And Tara knew, with a sudden, deep certainty, that she was next on the list.
The game was officially on.
The Product Knowledge Session The morning dragged on under Beth’s microscope. Tara felt the manager’s presence like a physical weight a few steps behind her as she assisted customers. Every interaction was mentally dissected. Tara forced herself to ignore it, turning on the charm, leaning into her intuitive style. She asked a flustered young woman about texture preferences, not price points. She demonstrated the subtle difference between a flick and a buzz on a demo vibrator against the inside of her own wrist. Each sale was a quiet victory, but the process was exhausting.
Finally, just before the midday lull, Beth clapped her hands together softly. “Team, gather in the intimacy accessories aisle. It’s time for our monthly product review.”
They assembled amidst the displays of silk ropes, leather cuffs, and delicate floggers. Beth stood before them, holding a tablet displaying the spec sheet for the new “Nocturne” line of sensation-play gear. She cleared her throat, her posture rigid.
“Alright. The Nocturne collection. Key features: premium materials, vegan leather alternatives, and a focus on ... sensory awakening.” She read the words flatly, as if announcing the features of a new line of hiking boots. “This feather tickler, for example, is constructed with ethically sourced ostrich plumes. It retails for forty-nine ninety-five.”
The team stood in awkward silence. Amanda stared at her shoes. Mack looked bored. Jackie’s expression was a mask of barely contained scorn.
Tara watched, a slow smile touching her lips. This was painfully inept.
Beth moved on, holding up a small, soft flogger. “The ‘Whisper’ flogger. Twenty-four individual suede strands. It’s designed for ... impact play.” She stumbled over the term, a faint blush visible on her neck. She gave the flogger an awkward, tentative little swing in the air. It was a technical demonstration, devoid of any understanding of the sensuality or the power dynamics it represented.
Jackie couldn’t hold back a snort. “Yeah, you’re gonna want to put a bit more wrist into it than that, boss. Otherwise, it’s just ... dusting.”
Beth’s head snapped up, her eyes flashing with irritation behind her glasses. The blush deepened. “I’m demonstrating the product’s basic function, Jackie.”
Seeing Beth’s floundering, Tara saw her opening. The frustration of the morning, the memory of the hidden doodle, it all coalesced into a need to seize control of this moment.
“It’s not just about the function,” Tara said, her voice calm but carrying. She stepped forward, gently taking the flogger from Beth’s hand. Their fingers brushed for a moment, and a tiny jolt passed between them. Beth recoiled slightly.
Tara turned to face the team, holding the flogger with a natural grace. “It’s about the sensation. The ‘Whisper’ isn’t for impact, not really. It’s for caressing.” She demonstrated, sweeping the strands lightly across her own forearm. “It’s about the sound, the whisper of the suede against the skin. It’s about building anticipation.” She made eye contact with Amanda, then Jackie, drawing them in. “You use it before you ever touch a heavier implement. It’s about trust. Your partner has to trust you to read their reactions, to know when a whisper is enough, and when they’re ready for something ... more.”
She then picked up the feather tickler. “And this ... it’s not just a feather. It’s for exploration. For teasing. It’s about making every nerve ending come alive before you even think about the main event.” She glided the feathers along her own neck, a deliberate, sensual gesture that was the complete opposite of Beth’s clinical description. Amanda’s eyes were wide, but she was leaning in, captivated. Even Mack looked intrigued.
Tara had completely commandeered the session. She spoke about aftercare, about the importance of communication and checking in. She transformed the awkward corporate meeting into a masterclass in intimacy. The entire team was engaged, watching her with respect.
Beth stood to the side, utterly marginalized. Her knuckles were white where she gripped her tablet. She was being shown up, publicly and utterly, in the one area she was supposed to be the authority. The humiliation burned in her chest, a hot, sharp emotion that warred with something else—a reluctant, furious admiration for Tara’s effortless command of the room. She began scribbling notes on her tablet, her jaw clenched. The notes weren’t about the products anymore. They were about Tara: Undermines authority. Disrupts planned agenda. Charismatic, but insubordinate.
The session ended with the staff dispersing, chatting animatedly about the products. Tara placed the flogger back on its display, turning to face Beth. She offered a polite, neutral smile. “Just trying to help everyone understand the nuances, Beth.”
Beth’s returning smile was a tight, bloodless line. “Your ... passion for the subject is noted, Tara.” She adjusted her glasses, a nervous tic Tara was starting to recognize. “We’ll discuss the deviation from the planned agenda later.”
But as Beth turned away, Tara saw it—a flash of something raw in her eyes before the professional mask slammed back down. It wasn’t just anger. It was hunger. And Tara knew, with a thrill of victory and a shiver of apprehension, that she had just thrown down a gauntlet that went far beyond a simple product demonstration.
A Furtive Investigation The charged silence after the product review stretched thin. Beth had retreated to her office, the door shut firmly. Tara felt a mix of triumph and a gnawing anxiety. She had won the battle, but the war felt more dangerous than ever.
For the next hour, she worked with a forced calm, her mind racing. The doodle. The initials. Beth’s intense, conflicted reaction. She needed more information. She needed to see that planner again.
Her first opportunity seemed to arise when Beth emerged from her office and moved onto the sales floor, her hands empty—no planner. Tara watched her approach Amanda, who was nervously rearranging a display of silicone dildos.
“Amanda,” Beth said, her voice cooler than it had been with Tara. “Your product knowledge session begins next week. I expect you to be prepared.”
Amanda jumped slightly, fumbling with a large, veined replica. “Y-yes, Beth. Of course.”
“See that you are. I’ll be assessing your technical recall.” Beth’s gaze was unwavering, and Amanda seemed to shrink under it. Tara felt a pang of sympathy for the shy woman. Beth’s management style was a blunt instrument.
