CrossroadsMk2 Posted June 1 Author Report Posted June 1 1 vote for business women Hi LHunt, thanks for voting. Whichever ends up winning, I'll be going for a new money / old money dynamic. Women who were excluded from high society because they didn't go to the right school or have the right surname, sick of being looked down on and now able to take their frustrations out on a member of the aristocracy. And Lara, because of her posh upbringing, will feel that serving them is beneath her, which will add to her humiliation. Quote
Guest setV Posted June 6 Report Posted June 6 Cross, great to see you are back. New chapter was excellent, love what you are building towards! My vote is for business women. I don’t think you have explored that dynamic in your other stories so it will keep things fresh. Will this be the start of Lara’s realization of what she has become or will she still be in the normalization bubble? Either way looking forward to the next chapter. Quote
CrossroadsMk2 Posted June 6 Author Report Posted June 6 Thanks for the vote SetV. No realisation yet - Lara's like a college kid on spring break, stuck in a fog of sexual gratification that she has convinced herself will not have lasting consequences for her life. 2 votes for business women. Quote
Guest Ibex Posted June 6 Report Posted June 6 Hey Crossroads, it was great to read a new chapter from you again! Looking forward to what comes next. I also vote for business women. Question, is Sarah planning to eventually get Lara to marry her or are her goals slightly different? Quote
CrossroadsMk2 Posted June 7 Author Report Posted June 7 (edited) Hi Ibex, thanks for the vote. The plan for the final chapter will be a "12-months later" chapter, showing Lara's life a year out from the end of her slave contract. It will probably show Lara and Sarah engaged but not married yet. Lara will have tried to go her own way, but she's too addicted to the excitement and drama that Sarah brings into her life (basically setting Sarah up as Lara's bad boy ex - she's knows it's an unhealthy relationship, but she keeps going back to it). 3 votes for business women. I think we have a winner. Edited June 7 by CrossroadsMk2 Quote
Guest ABigFan Posted Sunday at 07:23 PM Report Posted Sunday at 07:23 PM Hello Cross, I thoroughly enjoyed the latest chapter. I am afraid to say it, but it seems that the bigger pause between chapters you take the better the writting Loved the introduction of BigDaddy character. I thought you would save him for Bliss story but inclusion here was perfect. Loved the dynamic between them, Lara sub, then her taking control, his anger and frustration and later on he again taking control only for Lara to finish on top of it all. What a rollercoaster of emotions and power dynamics! I love the idea of business woman. Hoping they will be in some nice pants, jackets and elegant high heels. Looking forward to next chapter. Quote
CrossroadsMk2 Posted Monday at 09:13 PM Author Report Posted Monday at 09:13 PM (edited) Hi ABigFan, glad you enjoyed the last chapter. The plan for the business women is that they will be enjoying a session at a luxury country club or day spa - pedicures, manicures etc and then Lara comes in to provide foot massages and happy endings - so I'm planning a relaxing bathrobe and champagne sort of setting for the business women (they work hard and deserve to treat themselves), rather than a boardroom with suits and high heels. Plus I feel like a boardroom would be more indicative of female executives, rather than business women. Edited Monday at 11:59 PM by CrossroadsMk2 Quote
Guest Lara Crass Posted Tuesday at 01:49 AM Report Posted Tuesday at 01:49 AM Is there any plan to have Lara experience a real horse or other beasts? And/or get beast themed tattoos? Quote
CrossroadsMk2 Posted Tuesday at 10:33 AM Author Report Posted Tuesday at 10:33 AM Hi Lara Crass - not in this story. There will be a dog and pony show for Lara in Tomb Raider Bliss, but nothing like that planned for Voluntary Enslavement. Quote
Guest ABigFan Posted Wednesday at 09:51 AM Report Posted Wednesday at 09:51 AM Hello Cross, I understand what you mean and like the idea, just wanted to say that in that kind of setting, spa with bathrobes, there is no difference whether they are business woman or football wifes… Looking forward how it will turn out!

CrossroadsMk2 Posted Wednesday at 09:20 PM Author Report Posted Wednesday at 09:20 PM (edited) Hi ABigFan, I see what you mean. I think the issue I have is I can't think of a scenario where a group of "business women" are going to be having a meeting. Aside from a social setting, those sort of boardroom settings would be reserved for lawyers and executives. You're hardly going to have a woman who owns a chain of nail salons sitting down for a meeting with one who runs a PR firm, another who's a Real Estate Agent, another who owns several restaurants. Maybe individual meetings, but you wouldn't get all of them together at once unless it was purely social - hence the luxury day spa - they're there to get their manicures and pedicures, and then Lara gives them a foot massage and happy ending. If you guys want something in business suits, I think it would need to be an executive-style meeting. In which case, I'd do the spa scene with the footballer's wives and socialites / influencers, and then do a second scene in a boardroom. For the spa, I'd make it more personal by making one of the participants the young gold-digging fiance of Lara's Uncle Errol, who tried to steal her Title and inheritance when Lara's father died by claiming she was born out of wedlock. That'll open the door to some family fun later on. Or I could go younger and have her twin younger cousins who hate her be present (in this case Uncle Errol's wife would need to be older to make the ages work, so the girls can be 18). For the second scene, I'd make it a business meeting between Jacqueline Natla (another of Lara's enemies) and a lesbian Chinese CEO with a sadistic foot fetish, where Lara is the gift to celebrate their new joint venture. I'd probably save the footing (foot-fisting?) for this scene (sadistic Asian female with small feet). Probably also some female personal assistants present to film some trophy videos and participate (but only under the orders of their demanding femdom bosses). Let me know whether you guys prefer the above idea, or stick with the business women in the day spa idea. Edited Thursday at 07:14 PM by CrossroadsMk2 Fleshing out ideas Quote
Guest ABigFan Posted Thursday at 08:28 PM Report Posted Thursday at 08:28 PM Hello Cross, I think idea with business women in business suits in exucitve style meeting would be interesting to consider. Quote
CrossroadsMk2 Posted Thursday at 09:19 PM Author Report Posted Thursday at 09:19 PM Hi ABigFan, thanks for the comment. I'm leaning that way, but I'll wait for any more opinions and then get writing. Quote
