#2 of Pet Parlor

Claire is frustrated after being passed up for a big promotion that she was, honestly, the best candidate for the job, except for one thing. She wasn't part of the CEO's "boy's club." Walking through the city while trying to find something to help her mental state, she comes across a place called The Pet Parlor, and something tells her that a pet will be just the thing that she needs.


Claire was not having a very good day. For the third time in a row, one of her painfully underqualified male counterparts had been promoted ahead of her, all because they were part of the management's 'boys club,' and she... simply lacked the 'critical qualifications' dangling between her legs for the top management to take her seriously enough to give her the responsibility that pretty much everyone else in the company knew that she deserved.

How many financial fiascos had been the direct result of the incompetent people they'd been advancing, acting more out of bravado than brains. Everyone under her in the company was very sympathetic to her, some insisting that she should quit... or even file discrimination lawsuits. Others were even telling her to just keep her head down, and that everything would be alright.

As much as that kind of an attitude aggravated her, she couldn't be upset at the ones who held those views. She understood what they had been through in order to demoralize them like that. It wasn't their fault that they'd had to take that kind of an outlook in order to survive in a company like this. The place was practically drowning in testosterone.

She was walking along the city streets... mostly to burn off excess energy, but one of her coworkers had said something that was nagging at the back of her mind. One of her friends at the company had suggested that she find something to put her energy into outside of the company. Their reasoning was that if Claire quit, they won, in their own way. They would have broken her, and they wouldn't have her to worry about anymore. The main problem there was that it would then mean the company would start to fail, and that many of the good people there would likely lose their jobs.

But... finding something outside of the company as an outlet for her anger and frustration... something positive to invest herself in... that... sounded so cheesy, but... she really couldn't deny that it sounded like a good idea. As much as that annoyed the hell out of her to admit.

As she walked down the street, her mind was just racing along, not really finding any direction or guidance. She wasn't a cook. She didn't really play any games. She wasn't a crafter. I mean, she could start learning those kinds of things, but... she just wasn't sure. Heck, even gardening didn't really appeal, because even her houseplants didn't tend to survive very long.

Though, as she walked, something caught her eye, and she lost what scattered train of thought she'd been running through. None of it was really amounting to much, but when something in her brain caught the name of a shop out of the corner of her eye, it made her thoughts rather suddenly aligned on the words printed on the window. "Pet Parlor..." she muttered, her eyebrows furrowing.

She needed something to put her energy into... a pet to look after, maybe? Someone that she could love, and who would be happy to see her when she got home from work, maybe? Shit, no, some_thing_. Not some_one_. How'd she gotten that confused? Anyway, a pet... yeah, that felt right as something to help her deal with how shitty her management was.

She didn't even realize that she'd started to smile before she turned to go through the doors to the shop. Her smile grew even bigger when she saw the woman behind the counter. She definitely appreciated her sense of presence as she straightened up and looked into Claire's eyes. Claire felt an odd spark of understanding, but whatever it was... she couldn't put her finger on it. She just knew, somehow, that this woman was someone who would be on the same wavelength as her.

Valencia smiled at Claire and gave a small bow of the head to her. "Welcome to The Pet Parlor. How may I help you today?"

Claire cleared her mind and took a short breath. "Yes... good afternoon... I... think that I need a pet. I've been very frustrated with work, and I need some...thing to put positive energy into." Again, she'd just barely avoided saying someone. Twice now. She didn't need a boyfriend. She had never found boys... appealing.

Valencia's smile grew bigger. "Well, then. You are in just the right place. If you will follow me to the interview room, I will get started evaluating which pet we have that will suit your needs the best."

Claire raised an eyebrow. "Interview room? Isn't it... usually where I just browse through a room with the pets available and pick one out?"

Valencia laughed softly, "Oh, perhaps at some places, but here, we take a significantly more tailored approach. Our goal, above all else, is the best pairing of an owner and pet. We have quite a lot of experience learning what each prospective pet owner needs, and pairing them with the right pet for them. All of our pets are well trained and cared for, and we have a very good grasp of each of their demeanors."

Claire blinked, both eyebrows raising now. "My, my... I... never knew that a pet shop like this existed... but... I suppose that more refined boutiques like this have... been becoming more of a thing, in place of the more... impersonal big-box stores." She shrugged, shaking her head a little, "Lead the way," she said, letting out a gentle breath.

She let Valencia lead her back to a very well appointed room, where they could sit in fine armchairs across from one another. She let Claire sit down before bringing refreshments over for the two of them, a number of small cookies and cakes with steaming hot tea, which smelled absolutely divine. Claire thanked Valencia, taking a sip from her cup of tea as the interview began.

Valencia's questions were... unusual ones, but Claire did her best to answer honestly. Something in the woman's eyes told Claire that she could trust her, somehow. It helped that there was never a look of disdain or negative judgment in what Claire said. It was hard for her to wrap her head around just what the questions were getting at... but even so... it just felt nice to talk to someone as... on point as Valencia was.

By the time her cup of tea was done, so were Valencia's questions, and the woman rose to her feet, pouring a fresh cup of the tea for Claire. "Wonderful. Please wait here while I go retrieve the pet that I think will suit you the best," she said warmly, giving Claire another of her little head-bows before she went to the other door to the room on the opposite wall from the one they'd come in through.

Claire just... took the moment to sit back in the chair and breathe. A fine armchair like this was... nice... and the refinement of this parlor... it was giving her food for thought when it came to redecorating her own condo. She could just imagine sitting in a chair like this, with her pet resting in her lap... nestled in against her... She took a deep breath and another sip of her tea when she heard the door to the room click as the handle turned.

She looked up at the door to see Valencia walk back into the room, smiling happily at Claire. Behind her was a young woman, just a few years younger than Claire. She had on a... very cute little red dress, with long, black hair that went down to her shoulder blades and looked... very silky soft. She had a sweet smile on her face, as her glasses framed her deep-blue eyes.

Claire was very confused. She was here for a pet, not a person... but... why was this young woman... causing her heart to beat... faster... and her breathing quicken along with it?

Valencia smiled knowingly, as though this was the reaction that she had been expecting from Claire. She bowed her head gently to Claire, saying, "Claire, this is Kelsey. She is the pet that I have paired you with."

Claire's mouth moved as she stared at Valencia in shock and horror, her heart racing out of her chest as she sat there. "I... wh... misunderst..." she said, trying to wrap her mind around her words. That effort didn't become any easier as Kelsey stepped forward, walking to stand in front of Claire, bowing deeply too her.

Much like it had when she'd been passing in front of the store, her brain went into a power-skid, all of the noise in her head just kind of... shutting up. ""Mistress Valencia is very good at matching pets with the right owners, Miss. I trust that if she has decided that I am the right fit for your needs, that I will be very happy with you."

Claire started being able to find words once more. "Happy with me? That's not the point... I... it's... I can't just... keep a human as a pet... and... but... we've... never met... and... what does having you as a pet mean... I... I treat you like an animal? Play with you, feed you, take you out for walks, and give you treats?"

In her desperation, she looked back at Valencia, trying to make sense of all of this, but as her eyes met the other woman's, that sense of understanding from earlier clicked. "I think you know much better what it all entails than you realize," Valencia said with a deep chuckle, and Claire's mind went back over the interview that she'd just had with the owner of the shop.

There was a look of acute understanding as she traced her way back through the conversation, with many things falling into a new kind of place for her. Her mouth closed as she processed everything that both her head and her heart were saying to her. Her eyes returned to Kelsey, and when their eyes met once more, everything started very quickly making sense.

Valencia smiled and bowed to the two of them... well, more bowed to Claire. "I will let the two of you have a moment to yourselves," she said, her voice warm and gentle. "You can ring me up when the two of you have come to a conclusion." She gave them another bow and slipped back out through the door, leaving the two women alone in the room.

Claire took a deep breath, trying to clear her mind... finding it difficult to think of anything more orderly than how blue Kelsey's eyes were... and how... just absolutely pretty she was. She'd never in her life felt like this for anyone... but there was something about Kelsey that spoke to Claire on a very deep level... deeper than words.

It took a good minute, but Kelsey's smile grew warmer as she saw Claire start to relax. "So... you... want to be a pet? Owned and cared for?"

The girl bowed and nodded her head, "Yes, Miss. I am a submissive, and it is my desire to have a Mistress that I can give love to, and care for every bit as much as she takes care of me," she said... and damn if her voice wasn't as sweet as the rest of her.

"A... Mistress?" Claire asked after a moment, raising her eyebrow at Kelsey, a lopsided smile on her face. "Isn't that usually a... sexual thing?" She paused for a moment, her eyes moving over Kelsey's body. She cursed inwardly as she... had to acknowledge that she legitimately found Kelsey... attractive. "I suppose that if that is the case... you would need to find me attractive," she said, not asking so much as probing.

Her heart melted as she saw the blush spreading across Kelsey's face while the young woman's eyes looked down at her feet. "I... do find you attractive, miss..." she said, fidgeting... just... so... cutely... "Very attractive..."

Claire needed a moment to get control of herself once more. "Mmm... I see. I suppose you are... pretty..." she said, though her tone belied just how much more there was under that statement. "But... if there is to be a sexual component to our relationship... I suppose I would need to... get a little bit of a better look at you. Take off your dress," she said, not... exactly meaning to take on quite that commanding of a tone, but it just... kind of came out that way.

Kelsey couldn't help but let out a sharp little gasp as her eyes snapped back up to look into Claire's eyes before she nodded her head softly and swallowed slowly. "Yes, Miss," she said, and even Claire's untrained ear could hear the extra weight behind that title. She wanted to call Claire Mistress, but was holding herself back from it until Claire actually claimed her. How she understood that was beyond Claire, but she didn't let any of that show.

For the moment, she simply sat back in her chair, her body language completely relaxed as she watched Kelsey start to undress for her. Her heart fluttered as she watched the lovely dress sliding off of the young woman, revealing her... fucking adorable lace underwear, which... suited her... criminally well. Kelsey neatly folded the clothes on the other armchair before she stood in front of Claire once more. "Does this please you, Miss?"

Claire took a moment to take in Kelsey's body, feeling herself... getting quite wet as she sat there in the armchair. She would definitely need an armchair like this at home for this pet. "Mmm... I suppose it does..." she said imperiously, "Though, I don't believe that I directed you to leave anything on at all. Please. Correct that."

Kelsey gasped softly and her breathing quickened as she bowed her head. "My apologies, Miss," she said before she started to remove her bra and panties. She was... very pleasantly tone, with firm breasts and her backside would be... dangerous for Claire... in the best way possible.

The woman in the chair felt a sense of pressure and tension rising in her. Some kind of energy building within her body. Still, if there was one thing that her job had taught her, it was how to maintain her composure under all circumstances. She nodded her head in approval. "Very well... yes, this pleases me. But I will need... to get a better feel for you. Come. Sit in my lap, so I can see how that feels. After all, if I am to be your Mistress, I will want you to sit in my lap quite often. I do hope that isn't a problem for you."

Kelsey blushed hotly, shaking her head, "It isn't a problem for me at all, Miss," she said as she came and sat in Claire's lap, sitting side-saddle for her, with both legs hanging over Claire's right leg. She was so... poised as she did this... Valencia hadn't lied when she said that the pets here were well trained. As she sat there, she was looking into Claire's eyes with such... intense need that it was difficult for the woman to not simply grab hold of Kelsey and start having her way with her right then and there.

She smiled warmly and looked the girl over, shifting a little to "get a feel for her weight in her lap" like this before she nodded in approval. "Yes, you are quite comfortable in my lap. Now, I just need to know how it feels to kiss you," she said, not waiting for Kelsey to respond before she simply leaned in and kissed Kelsey full on the lips, one hand coming up to hold the back of the young woman's head.

She felt the girl gasp and tense for just a moment before she melted into the kiss, returning it eagerly as she nestled down into the embrace of... who she was certain would be her Mistress. Claire, for her part, brought her other hand to hold Kelsey's side gently while her tongue pressed into the girl's mouth. She... almost managed to hold back the moan of pleasure as she tasted Kelsey's kiss for the first time, her heart just completely melting at how this all felt.

She held the kiss for a long moment, and when she broke it, her eyes were filled with love as she looked into Kelsey's eyes. "Please stand up, pet. I would like to take my clothes off as well," she said, feeling that tension in her body continuing to build, kindling into a fire within her heart.

Kelsey's eyes went wide as she called her pet like that, her breathing quickening as she nodded her head and said, "Yes, Mistress," before carefully standing up, stepping back to let Claire have room to easily get to her feet. She stood up with an unexpected sense of grace, even as her senses felt absolutely on fire. She took a moment to straighten herself before she started to undress.

She had never thought of herself as a particularly... beautiful woman, though that was much more because she'd never been... overly sexually or romantically inclined. Still, when she started removing her clothes, Kelsey was completely enraptured. She had a powerful build across her shoulders and hips, with just the right narrowing of the waist to accentuate those features. Her breasts were heavy D-cups, which stood proudly on her chest.

Her legs were... well muscled. Claire had long ago determined to do as much of her travel by walking as she could manage, so her thighs were powerful, without much fat to them, and her full backside was... beautifully toned. Kelsey couldn't help but whimper softly as Claire got down to only her panties left to remove.

For her part, Claire was... enjoying the girl's reaction to her body far more than she would have expectd to, and when it was time to take her panties off, she paused for a heartbeat before she started sliding them off of her body.

Both girls were surprised by what came next, though Claire was significantly more surprised than Kelsey was. When she removed her panties, she found... a dick beneath them. A rather... substantial dick, if her understanding was correct. She rather doubted that many of the would-be alpha males in the company possessed. She paused, taking a moment to take the sudden addition to her figure in.

"Hmm... that wasn't there this morning..." she said, looking up at Kelsey for a moment, "I take it that this isn't a problem?" Even before the words had left her mouth, though, she could see that... it wasn't a problem at all. Part of her wondered about that Valencia, and what assets she might possess. Either way... she now had a cock... and a sweet little pet who visibly wanted nothing more than to have it buried inside of herself.

What kind of a monster would she be not to oblige her?

She smiled wryly at Kelsey, licking her lips slowly as she took a deep breath. "Well... if that is the case..." she said, her eyes sweeping across the room. She saw a very generous couch, which only brightened her smile. She walked over to it and sat down on the velvety surface, sitting with her legs parted a bit, which only felt natural, given her new equipment. She beckoned for Kelsey to come toward her, looking up into her pet's eyes with a wicked grin, which only seemed to excite her. "I will need to feel you sitting in my lap again... this time... facing me..." she said with a deep laugh.

Kelsey was panting, and Claire could see that she was quite wet as the girl nodded her head sweetly. "Yes, Mistress..." she said as she climbed onto Claire's lap, her legs on either side of her Mistress' legs, looking down at the powerful cock that was so suddenly now there. What was even more exciting was the way that it was growing harder, swelling and growing... right there... just so close to her...

She couldn't help but bring her hips forward, rubbing her pussy against the underside of Claire's cock as she sat there, feeling the warmth and weight of it against her mound, making her whimper and moan so sweetly for her Mistress. Oh, it was driving Claire absolutely nuts hearing the sounds that she was making, and she couldn't help but bring her hands to grip the little sub's hips, just enjoying the feel of them in her hands before she lifted her up and brought her to the tip of her cock.

Kelsey whimpered sweetly, looking into Claire's eyes with just... so much need and love. Claire leaned in and kissed the little submissive deeply... no, her little submissive. That was right. She held her there for a moment before she brought her down onto her cock, gasping sharply into the kiss at the new sensation of pleasure. Somewhere in her mind, she understood that she was hooked on the feel of Kelsey's pussy wrapped around her shaft like that. That was really all there was to that. But in the here and now, she wasn't thinking at that kind of level... all that mattered was how wonderful her lovey was.

It took a moment for her brain to kick over once more, and she started bouncing Kelsey on her cock, breathing in deeply as she just... needed this... mating. It made no sense to her how much and how badly she needed this, but there it was. She'd never felt like this for anyone before, but she quite clearly understood that she would never quite be the same again. Especially not as she felt Kelsey helping move herself on her cock the way she was.

Claire may not have... really any experience with sex like this, but she was very grateful to Valencia that Kelsey was well-versed in what to do. She just knew the need to thrust her hips up against the sweet girl, working her massive shaft deeper and deeper into her body with each stroke, until she felt Kelsey's lips wrapped around the base of her cock.

That only spurred her on, drawing a deep growl of need from her as she brought one hand up to hold Kelsey from behind as she leaned the little slut back. She was completely awed by how delicious her breasts looked, and she could not resist even for a moment longer leaning in to start kissing and licking her perky mounds, sucking her nipple into her mouth to ravish with her tongue as the growl in her chest only grew stronger.

She wasn't aware of the fact that the teeth gripping Kelsey's nipple were getting sharper and more pointed, nor that the fingertips of the hand gripping her hip were starting to grow claws. Kelsey was acutely aware of the changes though, and it drew a delighted cry of pleasure from the young woman as she took it as a cue that she could let her true self out, as well. Red scales spread quickly across her body as she looked down and felt a rush of delight to see silver scales starting to spread over Claire's form as well.

Claire's face grew out into a long muzzle, her hands and feet becoming taloned claws, which made Kelsey's own claws seem dainty by comparison. Claire felt an uncomfortable pressure at her backside and didn't even think about what to do about it. No, she simply twisted the two of them there on the couch to lay Kelsey down against the cushions while she positioned herself above the girl, growling darkly as she could finally use her already powerful legs to really fuck the piss out of Kelsey.

The smaller dragoness let out a sound of surprise and delight as she was flipped like that, but there was no protest to the sound. No, she simply wrapped her legs around her Mistress' waist and began to thrust up against her. The pressure she'd felt sitting on the couch was released, and a long, powerful, scaled tail practically erupted from her back, along with a pair of powerful wings, which were a sharp contrast to Kelsey's smaller... almost more ornamental wings.

As her transformation completed itself, she simply could not hold back for a moment longer. She moved her mouth away from her pet's breasts and clamped it down tightly on her throat, gripping her firmly as she roared in pleasure as she came, driving herself deep inside of Kelsey as she filled her to the absolute brim with her first load of hot cum. There was enough in that load to cause Kelsey's belly to bulge outward just a little bit, which only made her pet's own orgasm even more intense as she sang out her own pleasure, writhing beneath her Mistress.

It was quite a long moment before Claire's brain began to actually function once more, her eyes wide, and still a little frenzied as she realized that she had her pet's throat clamped in her jaws. She carefully released Kelsey's neck, drawing her head back as she looked down at the beautiful little dragoness beneath her. She was taking a moment to process it all, but as she extended her tongue to lick her lips, she realized that Kelsey wasn't the only one who had changed.

She turned her head to look down at herself, seeing her now scale-clad body. She lifted one of her hands to examine the powerful claws that she now bore, and when she felt her tail move, she turned her head to look over her shoulder at her new appendage. Appendages, as it turned out, and she flexed her wings slowly. As she worked through everything in her mind, a smile spread across her face, and there was a clear look of satisfaction on it.

"Well... shit..." she said with a little laugh and a smirk, shaking her head as she brought her hand down to caress Kelsey's head sweetly, looking down at her girl with nothing but love in her eyes. "I suppose that I'll have to admit to Valencia that she was right, after all..." she said with a chuckle before she leaned down to kiss Kelsey softly on the lips.

She didn't really want to pull out of her pet, so she carefully held her as she shifted back around so that she was the one lying on the couch, with Kelsey laying against her. Had she gotten bigger? Perhaps a little bit... but the way that Kelsey's head rested right on her breasts like that was... perfect. She couldn't have been happier as her little dragoness curled in against her.

She just breathed deeply, closing her eyes as her hand moved up to trail through Kelsey's hair, enjoying the silky softness of it. As the two of them lay there, just lazily loving on one another, the door to the room opened, and a red panda walked into the room, wearing the same outfit that Valencia had been wearing when she'd left.

Claire smirked at the panda and shook her head, chuckling softly as she murmured, "Fuck you, smartass." There was no anger in the sentiment... but... it really was well deserved, ultimately.

Valencia laughed as she came over to sit back in her armchair. "Mmm, so. I take it that there is no problem?"

Claire chuckled and shook her head. "No. No problem at all. So... she's mine? There's no... paperwork or fees, or anything like that?"

Valencia shook her head, chuckling softly. "No, nothing like that. At most... I'll need to go over how to change back to a human appearance before you leave... and you'll be welcome to browse through our toy collection to see what you would like to buy to bring home with you, but... we don't really dwell too much on formalities, here."

Claire lay her head back on the throw pillow, closing her eyes and breathing deeply for a moment. "Good."


Jack had taken a long vacation after he'd finished promoting the people he felt he needed to run the company while he was away. He'd then turned off his work phone, and... even after he was back state-side, he hadn't turned it back on just yet. He considered that a perk of being the CEO of his company.

No, he'd been gone for a month, and he was... at best reluctantly returning to the office, planning to turn his phone on somewhat ceremoniously when he was back at his desk. When he came back in, he didn't really pay much attention to the staff, though he did... notice some degree of surprise from them when they saw him. That was curious. He did his best to avoid the view of the other private offices of the various managers and executives, not wanting them to bother him before he was ready to admit defeat and return to work.

He was grateful to get to his office without running into anyone until he opened the door. When he did, he stopped short as he saw someone sitting behind the desk... in his chair. What was more, it was that... bitch that he'd categorically refused to promote before his vacation. She looked mildly surprised to see him, while his face was immediately filled with rage. "You! Karen, or... whatever your name was... what are you doing sitting in my chair?" He demanded, puffing himself up as he stormed across the room to her.

Her eyebrows raised, showing no fear of him as he approached. "Oh. No. I'm not sitting in your chair. I'm sitting in my chair. And it is Claire, by the way. Anyway, the Board of Directors has been trying to reach you for quite some time now, but no one has been able to reach you." There had been a number of calls from people he knew at the company on his personal phone, but he had ignored them all, and none of them had known his personal email address. "While you were gone, they came to the decision that the company needed a bit of reorganization after a number of ventures fell through in your absence. It seems that a number of the people who were promoted were not up to the task."

A vein started to pop on his forehead as he stared daggers at her. "That's impossible. The board would never do anything like that," he fumed, his hand reaching into his bag to pull out his work phone, powering it back on for the first time in a month. He pulled up his emails and started scrolling through them from the bottom up. There were increasingly frantic pleas for help from his hand-picked managers, followed by apologetic reports of failure and resignation letters. The last of the emails was a letter from the board of directors, stripping him of his position as CEO of the company a week earlier, and since then... no one had bothered to reach out to him.

Claire... was not particularly upset as she watched him collapse like a poorly made souffle, the color draining from his face. She at least had the personal restraint not to look smug at his collapse, as much as she was setting off a small fireworks display within her mind. He looked up at her in disbelief, his heart in the pit of his stomach as he stared blankly at her.

"You are, of course, still an employee. You simply are no longer the CEO. We've found a reasonable place for you in lower management, which shouldn't be too terribly taxing for you. I've decided to show some compassion for you, seeing as you were so overwhelmed by the rigors of work that you felt the need to go so completely off of the grid the way you did. So, I'm sure that you will find the position much better suited to your capacity. I am pleased to be able to inform you that the losses that caused the resignations have quite been made up for, and the company is posting record profits," Claire said with a warm smile, which was like an ice-cold dagger to his heart.

His mouth worked for a moment, and he needed to breathe and do his best to compose himself. "Yes. Ahem," he said, clearing his throat as he looked completely shell-shocked. "I... think that... in light of what has happened, I will... make my way to my new office... to get settled in," he said, his voice very meek. He needed to read his emails and process what he had just learned.

Claire smiled at him and bowed her head graciously. "Thank you. I appreciate your understanding," she said as he left. Only once the door was closed did she let herself grin from ear to ear before her phone rang. The caller ID made her smile even more brightly, and she answered the phone. "Hey, lovey. How is the house coming along?"

Kelsey cheerfully said, "It is doing very well, Mistress. The designers that Valencia put us in touch with are doing a great job. I can't wait until it is ready for us to move into, so you can finally see it!" Claire had finally been able to buy an actual house, which would suit her needs much better than her condo... though, she would hold onto that so that she would have a crash pad inside the city when her new job required longer days at the office.

"Wonderful. I can't wait to see it... and I can't wait to see you tonight. I've got something... pretty funny to tell you when I do. I love you, pet. I'll see you tonight," she said, hanging up the phone and sitting back in her executive chair. She fielded a number of emails from clients and other managers, but after an hour or so, an email caught her attention.

Jack had emailed her, it seemed. She opened it up and read the formal letter of resignation. She quickly typed up a reply, thanking him for his service, and wishing him the best in life, and fired it off before she just let out a long breath and took a moment to celebrate quietly before she wrote an email to the other members of the executive and management teams, informing them of Jack's resignation.

With that done, she was just grinning from ear to ear, licking her draconic lips as she chuckled and said, "And I've got the biggest balls of them all..."
