THE CORPORATE LADDER GOES BOTH WAYS 50: EPILOGUE

Now Desirée lived with Vanessa in her downtown apartment, her bedroom done up in a sugary, Catholic-girl style. Yet on many nights, she found herself in Vanessa’s bed where, despite her unwavering faith, she took the Lord’s name in vain again and again during long, lesbian makeout sessions as Vanessa’s submissive whore.

"Aw, Desirée, wet again? And you’re wearing one of your microskirts… such a poor choice. It’s amazing how easily you lubricate, my Southern belle."

"Lawd, Jesus, have mercy… I cain’t stop… I just cain’t…"

Desirée dressed like a whore, and was fucked like a whore. She wasn't in the streets anymore, but old habits died hard.

Recently, she had even more reason to praise Vanessa, as the director had enrolled her in SteelTech’s renowned S.L.U.T. program. Vanessa, with input from slut-fashion advisor Elise, had decided Desirée was perfect for a jazz-house fashion aesthetic.

Her attire included a corset, booties, strands of pearls draped around her neck, and intense eyeshadow and makeup inspired by the Roaring Twenties. Her afro hair had been reimagined in a retro cut and given extra volume. Large hoop earrings dangled from her lobes, accompanied by stacks of jingling bracelets on her wrists, a feathered headband, and the hotpants Vanessa loved her in—a reminder of her street days. A "NEWBIE" chain belt hung from the waistband beside a small cross pendant, a nod to her faith amid the debauchery.

"Look at you, cher," Vanessa said, admiring Desirée in her new getup during a fitting session. "A wannabe jazz-house doll. Those hotpants hug your ass right. Hard to forget where you come from, no?"


(To my dear patrons,

Just a little scheduling note for this week: today’s publication will be the only one, because it’s a long, beautiful epilogue that I really wanted to let stand on its own. It’s extra tender, extra wordy, and ties a bow around this arc in a way I hope you’ll savor. Thank you, as always, for your patience, support, and for reading every step of the way.)

Enjoyyy! 💋Xoxo💋
