Katherine 'Kat' Swift

Katherine 'Kat' Swift
Aged 30
Kat's red heels clicked briskly along the pavement, her bright red hair a flaming banner that cascaded down her back and swayed above her ass as she walked. Her iPhone was blaring Nine Inch Nails into her ears, giving her walk the kind of rhythm and purpose that made it a joy to watch. A workman she passed almost drilled through his foot while rubbernecking as she went by. Kat however, was oblivious.
As a senior finance broker a lot of shit landed on her desk that could not be delegated. Keeping her rather hot-headed young male subordinates in line was a full time job in itself, while coordinating the admin girls was like herding cats. She could feel the tension ebb from her as her heels hit the pavement and vowed not to give another thought to the major deal she was working on until Monday morning. When she got home she was going to have a long hot bath and a big glass of wine, before heading out to meet some friends at a local club. Katherine was single, having split from her ex a few months ago. Richard was a barrister and at one point they had talked seriously about moving in together but he wanted a family and Katherine was too dedicated to her career. She had no affinity with or desire for children and at thirty, was content with her choices. She got to spend her leisure time partying or travelling, still had a slim, firm figure, and didn’t spend her life martyring herself to a husband and kids. She realised as she strode to the underground station that it had been seven months since she got laid, perhaps her longest dry spell yet. With broadband and an array of sex toys, the time alone hadn’t even been onerous. It bothered Kat though, that she was so content with her self reliance.
In truth, she had been chatting with a few guys but it was online rather than face to face. She had reconciled with her submissive and masochistic urges and when she met a new guy, it had to be a dominant one. She had so much responsibility at work that the urge to lay it all down and submit was a potent one. Kat knew however that such a man would have to be her equal or superior in all things, dominating from true strength of character rather than making her the whipping bitch for his own insecurities. Such men were apparently rarer than hen’s teeth though and recently she had all but given up hope that such a specimen of manhood even existed. All Katherine knew was that after a lifetime of lacklustre disappointments with modern metrosexuals, she was not prepared to settle for less than her perfect nemesis.
She hustled into the tube station, forced to stand in her tall heels until she fought her way to the sliding doors at her stop. Katherine exited the train and was swept along with the tide of human traffic on auto-pilot. At street level it was a short walk to her smart little terraced town house where she would dock her iPhone for some more chilled out music and run hot water into her claw-footed Victorian bathrub. There was an M&S lasagne indoors with her name on it and as it was the weekend she might go mad and crack open a tub of Ben & Jerrys for dessert. She had plenty of time to get ready before she headed out at 9 o’clock to meet her friends. They were going to load up with a few drinks and then hit a local nightclub.

Katherine Swift had been born to parents who belonged to a sectarian Christian faith that believed the world was about to end. Devout to the point of madness, they believed the world to be in the last days described in the book of Revelation. They confidently expected Armageddon to ensue and for God to smite the wicked on a global scale.
Mr and Mrs Swift home schooled their daughter, in collaboration with some local moms of the same faith. They sought to instil in their daughter the same strict religious values that they strove for themselves. Somehow though, around the time Kat started going through puberty, Mr and Mrs Swift lost their way. They worried constantly about her burgeoning hormones and how she would cope with the various temptations that life would present. Katherine socialised exclusively with people who belonged to her parents' church. When she naturally became curious about the world beyond their congregation, they branded her wilful and wayward. They caught her reading library books which they had not supplied and became anxious about what worldly nonsense she was exposing herself to. Their punishments escalated as she grew older and her curiosity about the world increased. Soon Mr and Mrs Swift had lost sight of what constituted suitable chastisement. They viewed their hormonal, slightly rebellious daughter as inherently wicked.
In time, their extreme measures to force their daughter back onto a 'righteous' path lead to injuries that required them to distance themselves even from their church. In the end it was the intervention of a neighbour calling in social services that saw Katherine removed from her home. Aged thirteen and with zero experience of secular society, Kat found herself in a children's home and attending a local comprehensive.
Kat had nothing in common with her disaffected, kids home peers. As a petite and underdeveloped child she was a natural target for bullies. Many a child would have become utterly demoralised and given up trying to study altogether but Katherine Swift was not most children. She grasped in a way the other couldn't that education was her ticket out of her current personal hell.
Like most older and troubled children, Kat had no hope of being fostered into a family. She found she got all the praise and encouragement she needed however, from academic success. If there was a test or competition of any kind, she aced it. Her determination to study became obsessive and the library became her sanctuary. She arrived as soon as it opened and studied, read or volunteered there until they kicked her out each evening. Kat was way behind her classmates in some subjects because she hadn't covered the same curriculum but maths she had a fluid grasp of and there was a security in working with numbers that she just didn't get from classes like history and geography. As she grew older she leaned more heavily towards maths, sciences and business.
She graduated with a first class degree in Business and Finance and was promptly snapped up by Miller and Whitlock, a prestigious finance broking firm that worked exclusively with corporate property acquisitions. While her fellow junior associates worked hard and played hard, her quiet determination soon got her noticed for all the right reasons. Katherine even went to assertiveness classes, in order to start putting herself forward as a man would do without getting perceived as bitchy. Her hard work and fluid grasp of business finance meant that she soon outclassed her colleagues and she moved up the corporate ladder with ruthless efficiency.
Now she was thirty and already a department head, commanding 5 senior brokers, 20 brokers and some thirty associates and administrative staff. She had a plush corner office overlooking a rare bit of London greenery. It boasted an antique desk in walnut and two low slung sofas and a coffee table as a private meeting space. By all accounts Katherine Swift had really made something of herself but the truth was that rather than opting to go into a male dominated arena like finance through choice, she simply didn't know how to do anything else.
In its way, her life now was as austere as her childhood had been. She still had knee-jerk guilt when it came to materialism and adult relationships, even though she had long since ceased believing in God. Katherine was on a very generous salary now, with commission and bonuses added to that but though she lived comfortably, she spent very little of what she earned. Her money was out in the business sector, breeding even more money but she wouldn't spend that either. She told herself she had all manner of plans for the cash but she had done nothing of note with it since buying and furnishing her house.

Kat reached her street and began rummaging in her bag for her keys as she walked. Trent Reznor was crooning seductively into her ears about hurt. Katherine turned through her wrought iron front gate and climbed the worn stone steps to her front door.
