The city square of Femtopia pulsed with raw, unapologetic energy on Dominance Day. The cobblestone streets, worn smooth by centuries of determined strides, shimmered under the midday sun, reflecting the towering statues of warrior queens and matriarchs who glared down with stone-cold authority. Their marble eyes seemed to approve of the spectacle unfolding below: a parade of women, resplendent in their power, strutting with elaborate strap-ons gleaming at their hips, each a symbol of unyielding control. Behind them, men in frilly aprons and tight chastity cages shuffled along, heads bowed, hands trembling as they carried trays of sparkling wine or fanned their mistresses with oversized feather fans. The air buzzed with the sharp clack of stiletto heels, the jingle of metal cages, and the occasional bark of a command slicing through the festive hum.
At the forefront of the parade marched Mistress Vira, commander of the city guard, a woman whose very presence demanded submission. She was a vision of dominance—six feet of sculpted muscle and razor-sharp wit, her crimson leather corset hugging her curves like a second skin, her black boots polished to a mirror sheen. The strap-on at her waist was a work of art, adorned with silver studs that caught the light with every authoritative step. Her dark hair cascaded over her shoulders in waves, and her piercing green eyes scanned the crowd, daring anyone to meet her gaze without flinching. She reveled in the power of this day, her day, where every man in Femtopia was reminded of his place—beneath her heel.
Trailing just behind her, struggling to keep pace, was Lino, her personal houseboy. The poor thing was a walking disaster, all gangly limbs and nervous energy, his frilly pink apron tied crookedly over a threadbare shirt. His chastity cage clinked softly with every step, a humiliating reminder of his status, and his hands shook as he balanced a tray of crystal flutes filled with sparkling wine. His mousy brown hair stuck to his forehead with sweat, and his eyes darted around, desperate to avoid any misstep that might draw Vira’s wrath. But of course, with Lino, missteps were inevitable.
“Keep up, pet,” Vira called over her shoulder, her voice a sultry purr laced with mockery. “Or do I need to leash you tighter? Honestly, you shuffle slower than a crippled mule. My grandmother could outpace you, and she’s been dead for a decade.”
Lino’s cheeks flushed a deep crimson, his gaze dropping to the cobblestones. “Y-yes, Mistress Vira. I’m trying, I swear. The tray—it’s heavier than it looks.”
Vira stopped abruptly, spinning on her heel to face him, her hands planted on her hips. The crowd around them slowed, eager for a show, their murmurs of amusement rippling through the square. “Heavier than it looks?” she repeated, arching a perfectly sculpted brow. “What, are you saying I overwork you, little mouse? Shall I carry it myself, then? Or perhaps I should pour the wine down your pathetic throat and see if that gives you some strength?”
The onlookers chuckled, a few women in the crowd catcalling with gleeful malice. “Give him a taste, Vira!” one shouted. “Maybe it’ll stiffen his spine—if not something else!”
Lino’s face burned hotter, his hands trembling so badly that the flutes on the tray clinked together. “N-no, Mistress, I didn’t mean— I can manage, I promise. Please, let me—”
“Oh, hush,” Vira cut him off, stepping closer until she towered over him, her shadow engulfing his slight frame. She tilted his chin up with a single gloved finger, forcing him to meet her gaze. “Look at you, quivering like a leaf in a storm. Do you know what real men were like, Lino? Back before we fixed this world? My father, rest his soul, would’ve wept to see a sniveling pet like you calling yourself a man. He’d have wrestled bears with his bare hands, not whimpered over a tray of wine.”
“I-I’m sorry, Mistress,” Lino stammered, his voice barely a whisper. “I’ll do better. I’ll be better.”
Vira’s lips curled into a wicked smile, her eyes glinting with cruel delight. “Oh, you’ll try, won’t you? But trying isn’t enough, pet. I demand perfection. And when you fail me…” She let the threat hang in the air, her gaze flicking to the crowd, who were now openly grinning, waiting for the inevitable.
As if on cue, disaster struck. Lino took a nervous step forward, desperate to prove himself, and his foot caught on an uneven cobblestone. The tray tipped, the flutes sliding in slow motion before crashing to the ground in a symphony of shattered glass and splashing wine. The golden liquid pooled around Vira’s boots, a few errant drops daring to speckle the polished leather. A collective gasp rose from the crowd, followed by a wave of laughter that echoed off the statues above.
Lino froze, his eyes wide with horror, his mouth opening and closing like a fish out of water. “M-Mistress, I—I didn’t mean to— I’m so sorry—”
Vira’s laughter cut through his babbling, sharp and biting, like the crack of a whip. “Oh, Lino,” she drawled, crossing her arms over her chest. “You absolute catastrophe. Did you think today was the day to ruin my boots? Or were you just so eager to kneel at my feet that you couldn’t wait for my command?”
The crowd roared with laughter, women pointing and jeering as Lino dropped to his knees, frantically trying to gather the broken glass with trembling hands. “I’ll clean it, Mistress! I’ll fix it, I swear! Please, don’t—”
“Don’t what?” Vira interrupted, her tone dripping with faux sweetness. She crouched down, her face inches from his, her voice lowering to a dangerous whisper that still carried to the eager onlookers. “Don’t punish you? Don’t remind everyone here what a useless little worm you are? Oh, pet, you’ve earned this. Stand up. Now.”
Lino obeyed instantly, scrambling to his feet, his apron now stained with wine and his hands scratched from the glass. Vira rose as well, her movements graceful and predatory, circling him like a lioness toying with her prey. “Turn around,” she ordered, snapping her fingers. “Face the crowd. Let them see the face of failure.”
He did as she commanded, his head bowed, his shoulders hunched as the crowd’s laughter washed over him. Vira stepped behind him, her hand resting possessively on his shoulder, her nails digging in just enough to make him wince. “Ladies of Femtopia,” she called out, her voice ringing with authority, “behold my pet, Lino, the clumsiest creature to ever crawl at a woman’s feet. Shall we show him mercy?”
“No!” came the resounding cry, accompanied by cheers and whistles. A woman in the front row, her own strap-on adorned with glittering jewels, shouted, “Make him squirm, Vira! Teach him his place!”
Vira’s grin widened, and she leaned down to murmur in Lino’s ear, her breath hot against his skin. “Hear that, pet? They want a show. And I’m nothing if not generous.” She straightened, addressing the crowd again. “For his crime of staining my boots and wasting good wine, I sentence Lino to a public apology. On his knees, where he belongs. And then… a little reminder of who owns him.”
Lino’s knees buckled as he sank back to the ground, his voice shaking as he muttered, “I’m sorry, Mistress Vira. I’m sorry to all of you. I’ve failed, and I deserve your scorn.”
“Louder!” Vira barked, nudging him with the toe of her boot. “Let the statues hear you, pet. Let the queens above know how pathetic you are.”
“I’m sorry!” he cried, his voice cracking. “I’ve failed Mistress Vira and all of Femtopia! I’m unworthy, I’m clumsy, I’m nothing!”
The crowd cheered, some women clapping, others shouting encouragements for harsher punishment. Vira raised a hand for silence, her expression one of mock pity as she looked down at Lino. “Poor thing,” she sighed, though her eyes sparkled with amusement. “You really are nothing, aren’t you? But don’t worry, pet. I’ll make something of you yet. Stand up. Turn around. And bend over.”
Lino’s eyes widened, a fresh wave of humiliation washing over him, but he obeyed, his movements jerky and reluctant. The crowd hooted as Vira produced a small riding crop from her belt, twirling it with a flourish. “Just a little reminder,” she purred, loud enough for all to hear, “of who holds the reins. Count them out, pet. Five should do it. And thank me after each one.”
The first strike landed with a sharp crack, and Lino yelped, his voice trembling as he stammered, “One! Th-thank you, Mistress Vira!”
By the fifth, his face was flushed with shame and exertion, his voice a broken whisper as he choked out, “Five… thank you, Mistress Vira.” The crowd erupted in applause, and Vira stepped back, tucking the crop away with a satisfied smirk.
“Up, pet,” she commanded, and Lino staggered to his feet, avoiding her gaze. She tilted his chin up once more, her touch deceptively gentle. “You’ve entertained us well today, Lino. But don’t think this is the end of your penance. I’ve got a special task for you later, something to really test that fragile little spirit of yours. Understood?”
“Y-yes, Mistress,” he mumbled, his voice thick with dread and curiosity.
Vira chuckled, low and dangerous, before turning back to the parade, her stride as confident as ever. “Come along, pet. We’ve got a city to rule. And you’ve got a long day of groveling ahead.”
As the crowd dispersed, their laughter still echoing in Lino’s ears, he followed behind her, his heart pounding with a mix of fear and anticipation. Whatever “special task” Mistress Vira had in mind, he knew it would be anything but kind. And yet, beneath the humiliation, a tiny, traitorous part of him burned to find out.
