Inger's Ankles I laughed. Very unprofessional of me, I admit, being his EAP counselor and all but ---damn him--- ankles? Please. Toes? I've heard of. Feet? Yes. Legs, ass and tits? Yes, yes and yes. But ankles? Sorry. It seems she somehow gained control of his mind by enslaving him to her ankles. Not that she ever said anything overtly. No. This was all unspoken. Done on the QT. Hush. Hush. Subliminal mind control. That sort of thing. Okay. What to do? My first course of action seemed clear: humor him. Sure, Proctor was a raving loon but you have to understand I had procedures to follow. I was part of a bureaucracy. Unless he came in waving a gun, threatening to shoot someone, I had to look into things. File reports. Make detailed observations. Even with waving a gun there were forms to fill out and have him sign before I could call a cop. The whole thing was ridiculous and totally whacked, but that was my job. Can you see why I was so stressed out? And so I watched... and I waited. Proctor was right about one thing: Inger had beautiful legs. Really top notch. Long wonderful gams like you see on models. Okay. But what about her ankles? And what was thing with ankles anyway? I mean any guy with a set of eyeballs could see Inger's legs were grand. So why didn't I have a ton of leg lunatics bugging me about her? Proctor had the answer. MIMIS---Male Infant Mind Imprint Syndrome. That's why they call 'em ankle biters. They crawl around down there with the only significant human in their lives having her ankle right in your face. I suppose that was true. I had a flash memory of being under the card table while mother's bridge club was in session. All those finely turned out society women decked out in heels and stockings and I under there just listening to their talk, gossiping in clipped tones---not understanding a damn thing--- and staring at their ankles. Such fine bones. Such perfect geometry. The hard roundness of the white porcelain bone jutting out from under the slim taper of the lower leg. Some would kick off their heels and let me gnaw, teething, on a juicy big toe while fixing my eyes on the wonder of that beautiful bend: the ankle. So there was a bit of a revelation in what Proctor said. He had a shred of reason on his side--- however meager. I was determined look further into the situation. I stalked after Inger. Well, not stalked, of course. I observed, shall we say. Inger pulled her beautiful hair back into a Swedish bun. Like white gold spun into a perfect braid. I looked at it for some time hypnotized. Was it yellow? No. White? Yes. No. Yellow, yes yellow. Faintly. No, white ---platinum. She turned and caught me looking. Her manner was severe. Her expression was empty, cold. No, hot. No.... "Can I help you, sir?" she asked. Such sarcasm! Sir? Totally uncalled for. "I'd like to sit in on a meeting or two this morning and observe." I told her. "Spy?" She asked directly. "Observe." I insisted. Her eyes narrowed at my rudeness. Bristling with distrust and contempt. She stepped closer to me and uttered, "Observe. Very well then. Observe you shall. But not in the open. I refuse to let my people see me subjected to... observation as you say. The meeting is about to begin. Crouch under the podium. Hurry." I was happy to comply. This made the whole thing very scientific. Unobtrusive. "Smooth the kink of my stockings." She told me as she stood over me behind the podium. Right at her ankle her stocking bunched slightly. I ran my hand over the wonder of her tapering lower leg. She was a statue come to life. I felt the warm alabaster of her ankle and nearly peed my pants with bliss. I had a vision of my childhood, my infancy under the card table. I was transported back in time with my adult libido intact. Inger started the meeting. Staying behind the podium at all times except to make a point. Then she would stick an ankle off to the side. Showing herself in all her glory. Without changing expression or being demonstrative in any way she simply changed her tone in concert with a subtle pantomime of her ankle. At several times during the meeting there were questions from the group. If a woman asked Inger would answer. If a man asked she would say, "I talk, you listen. This isn't a Q & A session. You are here to learn from me. I tell you what I want done and you do it. Is that clear?" all the while exposing an ankle to the fellow. Flexing it. Holding a certain way. Pulling back on her shoe so that her toe pointed straight up, ankle closed, in a perfect nonverbal punctuation of finality. Proctor was right. She knew exactly what she was doing. The Nordic wench. This austere Viking Amazon concentrated all her icy emotion in the lower depths of her leg. Her white hot ankles. When released properly the passion they held exploded in the loins of her victims. Completely free of any bodily contact. Now every night after work hours Proctor and I kneel at her feet beating our meat in profane prayer to the angular beauty of our twin Goddesses: Inger's ankles.
