GALLERY GIRL

Man Feminized by a Woman

A Harborview Story

Clover Cox

CHAPTER 1

Jeanette Aybar was a vibrant art curator at a prestigious gallery called Lumina Art House, but she was also a woman with a secret desire. She loved dominating men. She thrived on power and control, which was part of the reason she’d been so successful at Lumina Art House. When she found the gallery, it was a bit of a dump. They had decent artwork, but their sales were horrendous. She’d taken over the gallery four years ago at the tender age of twenty-four, and now they were in the process of hiring an architect to design a new wing of their gallery. They were taking over the building next door to connect them and expand the gallery so that they could host events. Jeanette already had a few caterers lined up to serve her future clients. She couldn’t wait to see Ernest’s face when he saw what she was going to do with his place.

Her heels wobbled slightly on the cobblestone street as she walked to a cafe around the corner from the gallery to meet with Aaron Frasier. The gallery and cafe were in the historic center of Seahaven, which was a coastal city in the Northeast. It was a small city of one-hundred thousand people with a bustling harbor, quaint fishing vessels, and a few luxury yachts. One of the yachts belonged to the gallery owner Ernest Summers himself.

Jeanette admired Ernest’s love for art, but he was a terrible art gallery owner. He didn’t pick the best pieces to draw in the public, and he didn’t think about how he could expand his gallery beyond showing art and selling a few pieces. Galleries were great, but they were nothing if they didn’t bring people together to celebrate, mingle, and create memories. She didn’t know if architect Aaron Frasier would be able to capture her vision, but he came highly recommended by a friend of Ernest’s, so Jeanette had to interview him. She had decent interviews with a couple other architects, but they didn’t inspire too much confidence. Maybe Jeanette was being too picky, but she wanted to be blown away by the design. She wanted a place that everyone in Seahaven would be talking about. She wanted people coming in droves. She convinced Ernest to give her a sales bonus if she could keep their numbers going up and planned on doing just that.

Jeanette pulled her sunglasses off when she entered the cafe, noticing Aaron right away. She’d stalked him online to find his previous work. What he’d done was impressive, but she wouldn’t be convinced until she talked to him.

She fixed her face as she walked across the room. Aaron was dangerously handsome. He was tall, had wavy chestnut hair, and thoughtful hazel eyes. Jeanette stepped in front of his table. “You must be Aaron Frasier,” Jeanette said and stuck out her free hand. “I’m Jeanette Aybar, the curator at the Lumina Art House.”

Aaron stood to shake her hand, standing a head taller than her. He also had to fix his face as he found Jeanette to be beautiful. She had straight, fiery red hair that hung down past her breasts. Her frame was petite, and her eyes were bright green and piercing. Aaron could tell that she was a woman who meant business, and he was desperate for this job. He was a passionate architect who was driven by a love for blending traditional and modern designs, but lately he’d been stuck working for the design department a fast-food corporation. The work paid handsomely, but Aaron felt it was draining his soul. He quit before he completely lost his mind.

“That’s right. I’m Aaron.”

“Shall we order some coffee?”

“Yes, I told the server that I was waiting for you,” he said.

A gentleman, Jeanette thought to herself as she eyed Aaron more closely. She could tell that he was nervous, which given the stakes of this meeting, she didn’t blame him. Ernest was willing to spend hundreds of thousands on his gallery. He trusted Jeanette’s vision for the space and wanted her to see it through. The historic district of Seahaven was a bustling tourist hotspot, and Ernest thought he had a chance to make Lumina Art House a fixture in the community. A place everyone talked about when they mentioned Seahaven, which was what Jeanette explained to Aaron after they ordered their coffee.

“I won’t be able to make a detailed plan until I see the place and take measurements, but I brought some renders for inspiration based off the vision and photos you shared with me over email.”

“Perfect,” she said. “Let’s see them.”

They sat on the same side of the table as Aaron pointed at his laptop’s screen and shared his vision. Jeanette was entranced by his brilliance within moments. He was far superior to the other architects she’d interviewed, but even more than that, he was captivating. Inspiring. Jeanette had flashes of her doing naughty things to him while he spoke poetically to her.

“I wish I could tell you more, but I won’t be able to finalize any plans until I see the space in person,” said Aaron.

“You’re really willing to move to Seahaven for this job?”

“Yeah, Ernest’s friend Margaret told me that I could stay in her guesthouse if I got the job, so accommodations shouldn’t be a problem.”

“Hmm,” Jeanette said. The boss in her wanted to tell Aaron that he would have to wait to find out if he got the job, but she already knew that she wanted to hire him. None of the other architects came close to presenting a vision as concrete as Aaron’s, so she threw caution to the wind. “Why don’t we go to the gallery now so that I can show you the new building, and you can take measurements?”

“Yeah, sounds good!”

Jeanette paid for their coffees, and then they made their way down the street to the gallery.
