Her body looked slender and soft, with pale white skin. Her age was showing as her flesh looked like that of a middle-aged woman, as did the slight wrinkles on her face and a few grey hairs. Her breasts, which were small handfuls, were sagging enough that not even the bra could hide it. And the fabric on the front part of her bra were specially designed to be completely see-through, showing off the pink color of her nipples. And the front part of her panties were the same way, showing her cleanly shaven crotch and the small slit of her vagina.
The red curtain for the tiny changing room area was pulled open, and Meredith casually stepped inside to be with her new customer. Laura reacted by swiftly moving both hands to cover the see-through area of both her breasts and crotch.
Meredith looked over Laura’s body, and without saying a word, she used her hands to have Laura face the mirror again, while standing directly behind her.
“You look even sexier than I ever could have imagined,” Meredith said with a grin. “Jacob has no idea what he’s in for, or what he’s been missing out on. Don’t you agree?”
“Thank you. But I don’t know how he would react to seeing me like this. I’m old enough to be the mother of some of the women he looks at online,” Laura replied meekly.
Meredith put her hands on each of Laura’s wrists and pulled them away, giving both women a view of her private parts in the mirror.
“Believe me, no man will be able to resist you while you’re dressed like this. Especially a college student who prefers his women to be slutty. And I can assure you that he definitely won’t turn you away. Just imagine the look on his face when he finally realizes that he’ll have his very own slut, like the ones he looks at on the computer or reads about in stories. Only instead of some whore posing in a studio, it’ll be his own elegant and respectable nurse. He’ll have his very own 
slut nurse
.”
Laura gasped at the words she was hearing, while continuing to look at herself in the mirror.
“Do you like hearing that?” Meredith asked. “Does it make you excited that it will happen soon?”
“Yes. It does.”
“Tell me what you like about it.”
Laura took a deep breath, “I want to be submissive to Jacob. Submission has always been a fantasy of mine since I was young. I don’t know why. And I never thought I would ever feel this way about him, but it happened. He’s the perfect man for me. “
“I understand.”
Meredith cupped the left side of Laura’s bra with one hand, and she slid her other hand down Laura’s panties to stick her finger inside her vagina.
“Oh my, you aren’t kidding. You’re dripping wet down there.”
“I’ve never felt anything like this,” Laura stated nervously.
“Have you ever been with another woman before?” the saleswoman asked.
“No…”
She smiled, “Then I suppose I have something else to teach you.”
With that said, Meredith leaned over Laura’s shoulder and began kissing her lips. Her hand freed one of Laura’s breasts from the constraint of the thin bra, and she aggressively pinched and rubbed the large pink nipple between her fingers. Her other hand began furiously rubbing the engorged clitoris with her index finger, and with her other fingers, she rubbed in and out of the dripping wet vagina.
“This feels incredible,” Laura gasped. “Please don’t stop.”
Meredith continued pressing kisses against her customer’s face and her hands continued its work.
She pulled her fingers out and shoved them in Laura’s mouth, making her taste herself. After Laura tasted her own juices, Meredith turned her around so that they were face to face, and then she got on her knees. The saleswoman wasted no time in pressing her lips against her customer’s womanhood to give her a nice tongue lashing. 
“Oh god…I’m going to orgasm at any moment. Please don’t stop…”
Unfortunately for Laura, the woman performing oral sex on her 
did
 stop and she got back to her feet and gave her a kiss on the lips.

“You don’t get to cum yet my dear. I want you to save that for Jacob when you fuck him. But I’m going to leave you with a parting gift. I’m going to tell you EXACTLY what to say to him, and exactly what to do with him. And then I want you report back to me all of the naughty little details.”
Meredith put her lips to Laura’s ear and told her all she needed to know…
***RED LIPSTICK & A BLACK GARTER BELT***
It was the perfect day. 
After a six hour drive across the state of California, Laura was treated to a first hand tour of the outdoors where Jacob spent his free time with the rest of the Geology Club. He showed her all of his academic interests as well as his career goals while they were out in nature. And she was thoroughly impressed with how passionate he was about the subject, and how he was growing up to be a man of his own.
Once they were done, they headed over to his dorm room to rest.
“Nice place,” she said to him. “It’s a lot cleaner than I had expected from you.”
“Well, I’m used to a clean and cozy environment after living with you all my life,” he smiled.
“I’m glad to hear that. And you still haven’t answered my question from a few days ago,” she said sternly.
“Which is?” 
“Are you dating anyone? You seem really evasive whenever I try asking you about that.”
He paused for a moment. “Well, the answer is no. I guess I was too embarrassed to give you a direct answer.”
“Really? You’re a handsome young man, and I’ve seen plenty of girls around here who I’m sure would love to date you.”
“Thanks. But it’s not that easy. Girls around here prefer dating athletes and jocks. It’s either that or I’m too shy to ask anyone out. Plus I’m really busy with my school work and with my responsibilities to the Geology Club.”
“That’s too bad,” she replied. “You should really be enjoying your youth. I’ll tell you what, why don’t you take a quick shower and get cleaned up, and afterwards, you can take me to a nice restaurant. My treat.”
“Sounds good Laura,” he smiled. “I’ll be done as fast as I can.”
As soon as Jacob closed the bathroom door, Laura quickly undressed, tossing her clothes off in all directions with little regard as to where they landed. She went to her luggage and took out all of the slutty little undergarments and accessories she bought from Meredith the day before, and put them on in front of her bedroom mirror. 
Soon, the once sophisticated & classy woman was transformed into a complete whore. Her bra & panties were skimpy and completely see-through. Her high-heeled stilettos only had a few straps to cover her feet. Her garter belt showcased her hips & thighs at just the right amount. And to top everything off, she applied bright red lipstick to her lips which showed that her tiny mouth was ready for action.
Laura felt her heart pounding and her pulse rise after hearing the shower stop. Jacob was about to exit the bathroom at any minute and discover what she had in store for him.
‘What would he say? How would he react? Oh god, I’m so scared,’
 
she thought to herself, standing there dressed like a whore.
But she didn’t need to think for very long as the door opened and she watched his jaw drop with a look of disbelief over his prim & proper friend’s attire.
“Laura?” he whispered in a state of utter shock.
“Do you like it?” she asked as bold as she could. “I saw the pictures of the women you look at online, and I figured you might be interested in seeing me like that. I’m know I’m much older than they are, but I’m sure I can make it up to you in another way.”
He paused for a moment before asking, “What are you doing? And what do you mean by making it up to me?”
“The woman you look at online can’t take care of you sexually. I can. And if you’re interested, I would be willing to satisfy ALL of your sexual needs, anytime you want me to, as your personal little slut. Does that sound appealing to you, having me as your whore?”
“I…I don’t know what to say,” he stammered.
Laura took a few steps towards him and dropped to her knees.
“You don’t have to say anything Jacob. If you want me to stop, just turn around and I’ll get dressed. We’ll pretend this never happened. But if you want me to suck your cock, all you have to do is take it out and I’ll start sucking.”
She could see it in his eyes that he was struggling with how to react. But his hands told a different story, with his fingers slowly and cautiously beginning to pull the front part of his shorts down. Inch by inch his penis was being revealed to her. Once it was fully freed, it was able to spring forward in it’s almost erect state and it nearly hit her on the face.
It was the moment Laura had been waiting for since her fantasy had begun. She took a good look at her Jacob’s manhood, and in a swift motion, she leaned forward to put it in her mouth to suck. It was everything she imagined it to be. He tasted the way she expected it to. He felt the way she expected it to. But most importantly, sucking her son’s cock gave her mind and body the incredible sensation that she had longed for.
But she wasn’t the only one who was receiving enjoyment out of this. As Laura enthusiastically sucked and bobbed her head back and forth, Jacob moaned and rubbed his hands through her hair. For the first time since she started sucking, Laura looked up and they both made eye contact with his manhood in her mouth. It drove her absolutely wild to see him in pleasure, from her knees, knowing that she was now his personal slut.
She spit his cock out of her mouth and asked, “Do you want to fuck me right now, or do you want to cum in my mouth?”
“I…I want to have sex with you,” he said, still feeling nervous. “It’s been a while since I’ve had sex. I want to fuck you Laura.”
Those words sent a shiver down her spine.
She stood and pulled her panties off, leaving her in just a see-through bra, a garter belt, and her expensive pair of stilettos. She then took his hand and lead him to his desk, and with one swing of her arm, she tossed his school papers and books to the floor. Sure, she could have fucked him in his bed, but that would be too romantic. She wanted this to be nasty. So she sat down on his desk, bare assed, and spread her legs open for him.
“You have no idea how long I’ve wanted to do this,” she told him in a sexually depraved voice. “Now come over here and fuck me the way I need to be fucked.”
Jacob pulled off his t-shirt and got completely naked for her. He then pressed the head of his throbbing hard on against her slit, as she wrapped her arms and legs around him. And with one push, he was able to slid right in the soaking wet canal.
“Do you like what you’re feeling right now?” she asked, looking in his eyes.
“I do,” he moaned. “I’ve always wanted my own slut.”
His thrusts and breathing became harder and harder.
“Your own slut huh? Well now you have one. I bet you love doing this to your nurse and making her your little whore.”
He stopped fucking her for a moment and said, “I’ve also secretly wanted this. My friends used to tell me how you look like one of those 
‘secret slut’
 
soccer moms and I used to tell them they were crazy. They’re going to be 
so
 
jealous once they find out about this.”
He continued fucking her, harder this time. Those words from him struck an emotional chord.
“Oh…Your friends were right about me then,” she panted. “I 
am
 
a secret slut soccer mom. It took me so long to realize that. And I’ll even fuck your friends if you want me too.”
His thrusts became harder and rougher. 
“Oh god! You’re such a fucking whore! You’re such a fucking slut! I’m about to cum! I’m going to cum!” 
She suddenly pushed him off and she dropped to her knees. Her hands immediately went to work, furiously stroking him with the head of his cock pointed directly towards her open mouth. His pent up cock erupted and sprayed its shooting load directly between her lips and onto her eager tongue. 
She took him inside her mouth and sucked him off while stroking him. All she wanted was to taste his cum for the very first time. But when she realized she was tasting her vaginal fluids along with his cum, all she had to do was reach down and rub herself in order to have an explosive orgasm of her own- and she did just that. She continued sucking him off while fingering her clit, and she violently came all over his dorm room floor.
After squeezing every last drop out of him, she looked him straight in the eyes and swallowed, making a loud *gulp* sound before sticking her tongue out again.
“All gone,” she said proudly after swallowing his cum. “You taste better than my husband did.”
“God…that was fucking incredible. I can’t believe that just happened.”
She gave him a wink and a grin. “Well believe it, because you can expect this to happen a lot more often. And since we’re on your campus, I’d love to 
‘meet’
 
Ms. Goodwin and some of your new friends. And if you’d like, I’d love to meet with some of your other professors to see if I can help give you extra credit.”
“What have I created?” he replied jokingly.
She smiled, “You’ve created a real woman. But don’t worry, being your personal little slut will always be my first priority. Believe me.”
***EPILOGUE*** 
Laura’s secret fantasy had finally come true.
She became Jacob’s personal little slut. Anything he wanted, she gave him. When he to visit, she would greet at the door with nothing but sexy lingerie with garters, nylon stockings, and high heels- the way a good slut should.
When she couldn’t wait for him to come home, she would make the long drive and visit him in his dorm wearing a trench coat. But of course underneath was a tiny miniskirt and a low cut blouse. She absolutely loved being his cum depository in his dorm room. And she had no problem with fucking his roommate or his friends while she was there either. She even made sure that he ended the semester with straight A’s after visiting each of his professors for a private meeting (both men and women).
And Laura’s first lesbian experience certainly wasn’t her last. She returned to the lingerie shop regularly for new outfits, and would tell Meredith of her latest sexual exploits with her young master while the saleswoman would eat her pussy. And afterwards she would get on her knees to orally return the favor. After all, how else was Laura supposed to show her appreciation?
The End

Training The Neighbourhood Slut

Meredith’s eyes were fixated on the woman walking through the door of her lingerie shop. It was another typical client that she was used to seeing; a middle aged woman, business oriented, proper in every way, and slightly nervous. 
“How may I help you?” the saleswoman asked with a welcoming smile and charm. “I don’t believe I’ve seen you here before. My name is Meredith.”
The woman extended her hand for a handshake, and they greeted each other warmly.
“I’m new here,” she smiled back. “My name is Sara. A friend of mine recommended this place to me. Here name is Laura, does that ring a bell to you?”
“What kind of shop owner would I be if I didn’t remember my customers? Of course that name rings a bell. She’s one of my favorite clients.”
“Oh, well that’s comforting to know,” she replied.
Meredith smiled, “So what can I do for you today?”
“Um…well…I need to know if you’re discreet first. I don’t want any of my person information getting around or else my reputation would be ruined. I hope you understand.”
“Sara, I opened this shop for women like you. It’s really a passion of mine. So you can believe me when I tell you that whatever is said around here will remain our secret. But first, why don’t you tell me a little bit about yourself to start things off?”
“Well, my name is Sara, obviously. I’ve recently turned 44 and I’m currently the marketing director for a large tech company. And I live at home alone. I need something for…well let’s just say there’s someone in the neighbourhood I need to impress”
“That’s what you’re here for right?”
Sara reached inside her purse and handed the saleswoman a picture of him. “His name is Tom. He’s 19 and he currently attends college. He’s majoring in law and he enjoys playing sports.”
“He’s very handsome,” Meredith said with a smile.
“Thank you,” she replied. “He’s a wonderful young man. He gets good grades in school, always stays out of trouble, and he likes to spend what little free time he has doing charity work for the community.”
“Does he have a girlfriend?”
“No. Not at the moment.”
Meredith raised an eyebrow, “That’s too bad. A wonderful person such as him deserves to have his needs taken care of regularly- his sexual needs that is. Maybe you can do that for him? Don’t you think he deserves that?”
“I fantasize about that sometimes, but he’s my neighbour’s son,” she meekly replied. “Do you think that’s wrong?”
“Absolutely not,” Meredith boldly stated. “If it’s okay for men to fantasize about secretaries, nurses, and college cheerleaders, then women should be able to have fantasies of their own. It’s only fair.”
“You do have a point. I’ve never thought about it like that.”
“There’s a lot you need to learn. And there’s a lot I can to teach you,” the saleswoman replied. “That is of course if you’re interested…”
Sara paused. “I…I am. What do you specialize in anyway?”
“I sell erotic lingerie and undergarments for women,” Meredith casually stated.
“I can see that. But what do you 
really
 specialize in. I just want a straightforward answer so that there’s no confusion between us.”
The saleswoman raised her eyebrows and smiled, “I help women like you fuck their dream guys. Is that straightforward enough?”
Sara was immediately taken aback by the saleswoman’s blunt choice of words. It was what she wanted to hear when she came to the shop, but actually hearing it phrased like that came as a shock to her.
Meredith winked at her new customer, “So, now that we’ve got that settled, shall we get started?”
“…I…I’m interested, but I don’t know how he’d react to me just offering him sex. I’ve seen him glance at me when he thinks I’m not looking. I
think
 he might be interested, but…”
“Does he have a penis?” 
Sara looked confused, “Of course, he’s a…”
“Has he gone through puberty?”
Sara looked puzzled, “Yes, he’s 19.”
“Then you don’t need to worry if he’ll turn you down or not,” Meredith said. “He’s a young male with a penis; boys don’t just grow up jerking off while looking at the wall. They think about women. And since you’re a beautiful lady who knows how to flaunt it, it’s only natural that he thinks about you. You’ve said yourself that you’ve seen his eyes wander in your direction.”
“Well…you make a great point. I guess I can’t argue with that.”
“Trust me, Freud would agree. Freud’s sexual theory is taught by every psychology professor in the country- so who are we to argue with that?”
Sara held back a slight laughter, “You know, it’s funny you should mention him because I used to think that was such bs. But as it turns out, I was the one full of it all along.”
“Like I said, you’ve got a lot to learn,” the saleswoman replied with a mischievous look. “But you were right about one thing, you can’t just go up to him and offer him your sexual services- that would be fairly distasteful, especially from a woman of your stature. What you need is a plan.”
“And what exactly would that plan be?” she asked.
“For starters, you need a 
reason
 for either him to come on to you, or for you to come on to him. Since we’re in a lingerie shop, we should obviously start with that. I’ll see to it that you wear some of our higher-end items for him,” the saleswoman said in a caring manner.
“I’d appreciate that. I’ve always found lingerie and undergarments to be very appealing, but I’ve never had the courage to actually step inside of a store like this and purchase any.”
Meredith put her hand on Sara’s shoulder and led her around the room. “Well consider this your lucky day. I also have the perfect plan for what you need. Do you date often? Judging by your career and appearance, I’d say that you’re too busy working to spend time with men, and that you’re quite pent up sexually. No offense.”
“None taken,” she replied. “And you would be right about that. Since I got promoted a few years ago, my love life has really suffered. Either I’m too busy to date, or the men I do have time to date are intimated by a woman who makes more money then them. So, here I am, a single woman.”
“I hear that all too often. It’s the price of success that many women have to endure. But you’re in luck. Because when I get done with you, you’ll have your own slave to fulfill of all of your sexual needs, and you’ll be taking care of his. I just wish more working women would understand the benefits of a fucktoy.”
Sara blushed, “
Fucktoy
. Now there’s a word that I never thought I would hear about myself. But at the same time, I’m excited about all of the new possibilities.” 
“As you should,” the saleswoman said proudly. “I love an open minded woman. Now let’s get started. I have some 
special items
 in mind for you.”
Meredith’s hands sifted through the assorted array of bras hanging on the rack. She finally picked out the one she was looking for and showed it off.
“I want you to wear this all day in the office, you know, to build up your arousal. Then later, at home, I want you to just bowl over to his house to ask Tom for his opinion on some of your other outfits. Tell him it’s for a date. Change your top in front of him, and once he sees this sexy bra on you, well, let’s just say that it’s a great conversation starter to get things going. It never fails. Believe it.”
“That sounds so…so…bad,” Sara said of the saleswoman’s plan. “And I mean that in a good way. I’m getting excited just thinking about it.”
Meredith grinned, “Then it’s working already. But first, we need to make sure that this bra is the right size and has the right 
look
 for you. Now get undressed and try it on.”
“Right here? Now?” she asked curiously in the middle of the store.
“I don’t see why not. The light in the changing room is a little dim at the moment, so you can see yourself better out here.”
“But…what if someone walks in?” she asked nervously.
“You don’t have to worry about that. I don’t get many customers during work hour if you know what I mean. Most of my clients are business oriented women who are busy during this time. Trust me, we’ll be fine doing this here.”
Sara took a deep breath. “Okay…fine…”
She took off her jacket and placed it on a nearby rack. She looked Meredith directly in her eyes while she unbuttoned her blouse to reveal her tanned and toned figure. And after another deep breath, Sara reached back and undid her bra and placed it on top of her other clothes, revealing her flawless breasts with large pink nipples standing out. She had a bikini tan line from all the sun bathing she did at home, where her breasts were pale white in comparison to the rest of her upper body.
“You have such great tits,” the saleswoman said with admiration. “Do you mind if I touch them?”
“At this point, you already know more secrets about me than my own mother does. Why not?”
The saleswoman put down the bra and reached out to cup the breasts of the topless woman standing before her. Her hands gently squeezed and massaged the breasts on all corners.
“They’re so soft and firm,” Meredith noted as she continued giving a massage. “Tell me, how did this start between you and him? When did you start fantasizing about him?”
Sara took a deep breath and began to reminisce. “Well, it began over a year ago actually. I came out of the shower with just a towel on, and my bedroom door was open when he coincidently walked by the window. He gave me a look which I never saw from him before, or 
any
 other man for that matter. He quickly walked away when I caught him, but I never forgot that moment. It felt nice being desired like that after so long. I had never felt so beautiful. I knew it was wrong on my part, but I couldn’t help myself from wearing less around the house to tease him a little and see his reaction, and when I turned my head away, I knew he would 
look
 at me. It wasn’t a normal look either. It was the look of a young man who wanted to screw me. I found that to be absolutely thrilling, and I’ve been fantasizing about that ever since.”
“What a beautiful story,” Meredith replied. “I never get tired of hearing about how women come to realize these things, and how they come to accept it. I only wish that more women would be as brave as you.”
The saleswoman let go of Sara’s breasts and picked up the bra for her to wear. Sara raised her arms, and Meredith skillfully slid the straps through each arm, wrapped the bra around her chest, and clasped in behind her back. When it was on, Meredith stood behind Sara and they both marveled at the simple transformation in front of a large mirror.
“So what do you think?”
“It’s…It’s a see-through bra,” Sara noted, with her pink nipples on full display through the thin fabric.
“I know. Does that bother you?”
“No. I was just a little taken aback, that’s all. He’s going to be seeing me naked anyway right? But it just looks a little…”
“Slutty?”
“Yeah, it does look slutty,” Sara replied. “And that’s another thing I never thought I’d ever say about myself because I’ve always been raised to be a proud feminist.”
“If it makes you feel any better, lust has nothing to do with political affiliation or ideology,” she replied with a grin. “You would be surprised to know what kind of women walk through my doors on a regular basis.”
“Well, if a woman like me would be standing here like this, then I wouldn’t be surprised by who else might be interested in the same taboo.”
“Now you’re getting it,” Meredith winked, “soon, you’ll be the perfect 
slut
for your him, just like the rest of us. And you’ll love it.”
“A 
slut
?” Sara inquired.
“A 
slutr
. You know, a middle-aged soccer mom, single, classy, prim & proper. She’s lonely and has a romantic nature, until she eventually realizes that a young guy is the only man for her because of the special  bond they share. At which point, after a long process of self-deliberation, she finally takes the leap to seduce him and fuck him like crazy for years to come, submitting to him sexually for whatever his heart desires. 
That
 is a ‘slut’. Am I wrong in characterizing you in that way?”
“Well…I guess I am a ‘slut’ if that’s how you want to phrase it. I mean I’m not yet, but obviously the way that we’re headed, it’s bound to happen. I guess you can call me a slut in-training.”
Meredith raised an eyebrow, “Hmmm…‘in-training’ would be the right way to put it. But of course you wouldn’t fully be his slut until you cross the final boundary- a boundary which goes beyond simply have sexual intercourse.”
“Which is?” she asked.
“You’ll know once you get there. But until then, that’s a real high-end piece of undergarment you’re wearing, but since I like you so much, I’ll give it to you for free, just this once.”
“You’ve already done more than enough for me with all of your advice and support. I’d like to pay full price. Thank you for the kind offer though.”
“Well, then maybe we can compromise somehow,” Meredith smiled.
“What do you do you mean?” Sara asked.
“I insist on giving you the item for free, and you insist on paying full price. Maybe we can compromise somewhere. And maybe that compromise can come in the form of a 
gift
 which you can bring to me when the time is right, assuming everything goes as planned with you and Tom.”
“Sure, I suppose. And what exactly would this 
gift
 be?”
Meredith leaned forward and whispered something in Sara’s ear, and when she heard it, Sara couldn’t help but blush.
***SARA’S SEDUCTION***
A few days had passed, and Sara was walking home with shopping bags.
“Hey Sara,” he said as he glanced at her, with his attention still on the sports game. “Just got back from shopping huh?”
She held up her shopping bag and smiled, “Yep. I swung by mall after I was able to leave work early. Speaking of which, would you mind helping me out for a moment? I’d really appreciate a male’s perspective on some of these new outfits that I’ve just bought. I’ve got a date tomorrow and I really wanted a second opinion while I’m the mood to play dress up.”
Tom’s eyes lit up. “You’ve got a date tomorrow? That’s great news! I mean, you’ve been single for so long and I was really starting to get worried about you being lonely and all that.”
“Which is why I want to put in the extra effort to look my best,” she added. “And I think it’s important to have the right outfit, don’t you? It will only take a few minutes of your time. I just want your opinion on how I look with the different shirts I bought.”
“In that case, I’d love to help,” he said, hiding his enthusiasm. 
***
She told him that she needed a moment to freshen up before she could model for him. And when the time came, he headed up the stairs and towards her bedroom as expected.
