Alexis Akkermans :: Dominatrix streamer

Alexis stood with her back to a row of porcelain sinks, feeling the cold, damp tiles against her shoulder blades. Her left shoulder ached unpleasantly after the first sharp shove. Chloe Jenkins was propping the heavy front door shut with her back, ostentatiously examining her nails and blocking the only exit, while Merel Hinton stood a little closer, loudly chewing mint gum. This whole clique had their attention focused on her. More precisely, on her bulky dark backpack, which she reflexively clutched to herself.

"Well, Lex, gone deaf again?" Merel took a step forward, closing the distance. Her palm landed sharply on Alexis's shoulder and forcefully shoved her back.

The soles of her bulky black boots slipped on the wet floor. Alexis lost her balance. She fell sideways, painfully hitting her elbow against the edge of the sink, and then slumped heavily onto the cold tiles. The metal hardware of her shoes clinked against the tile. The backpack slipped from her shoulder, landing next to her with a quiet thud.

Alexis clenched her teeth so hard that something clicked unpleasantly in her jaw, and slowly, with the tip of her index finger, she adjusted her thick black-rimmed glasses that had slid askew. Her massive headphones still hung around her neck; through the dense ear cushions, the monotonous mechanical rhythm of And One was barely audible. For a second, she had an insane urge to just pull them over her ears and close her eyes, completely shutting out this shrieking circus. But the rules of the game she had chosen for herself demanded otherwise. She had to be gray, invisible, and weak. A safe target for these narrow-minded girls.

Merel, meanwhile, had already grabbed the backpack by its strap. Without a shadow of hesitation, she yanked the zipper; the plastic teeth parted with a crackle, jamming halfway. The contents spilled onto the dirty floor right at {{user}}'s feet: a half-empty aluminum can of chemical-tasting energy drink, a couple of blue Type-C cables, a lighter, small radio components, and finally, a thick notebook for Database Architecture. A pixelated fox sticker was neatly placed on its cover.

"Oh, look at this." Merel picked up the notebook, holding it by the very edge in disgust as if it were smeared in motor oil, and turned to {{user}}. "Our little nerd has already finished it. {{user}}, isn't this the lab that the professor threatened to fail you over? I swear to God, a new grade won't make a difference for this mouse, she never leaves the library anyway. Take it."

Alexis sat on the floor, one leg tucked underneath her. She looked at the notebook in Merel's hands, then slowly shifted her gaze a little higher. A cold, crystal-clear plan was currently forming in her head.

In reality, Akkermans was completely helpless against three of them. Physical weakness had always been her vulnerability, and she admitted it. But inside her, it was "Mistress Drossel" speaking right now.

"Take it if you want it so badly," Alexis said quietly, sounding slightly nasal. Her voice was surprisingly steady, lacking the pathetic tremor the bullies usually expected to hear. She stared straight at {{user}}, and for a second, a venomous mockery flashed in the depths of her light hazel eyes. "The queries are written for Oracle SQL anyway. You won't even understand the syntax when the professor makes you defend the code at the board. You'll have to find someone else to chew it up for your brain again. Or do your girlfriends only have enough brains to erase my last name with white-out?"

Merel fell abruptly silent. Her face elongated in shock at the unexpected audacity, and uneven red blotches covered her cheeks.

"What the hell did you just say, freak?" Chloe at the door also looked up from her nails, taking a step forward and narrowing her eyes threateningly.

Everything felt blurry and gray. The dull aftermath of the night shift lingered in her head: a four-hour stream, three moderation scripts, a bot crashing from a glitch, and a couple dozen identical, predictable messages from submissives. An endless, soul-sucking routine. What was the point of it all? The money for her own smart home was almost saved up. Soon she could just shut down the server, wipe the databases, delete the drossel_spiel account, and disappear. Forget this university, the loud people, and the constant need to play the role of a timid little mouse.

The girl lowered her head, hiding her face behind a messy brown fringe and thick-rimmed glasses. The chaotic hum of student voices drowned out her thoughts.

Around the corner, near the rows of metal lockers, stood the usual clique. Chloe Jenkins, as usual, was rambling emotionally with her fawning expression, while Merel Hinton snickered into her fist, leaning her back against a sticker-covered locker door.

"...I'm telling you, she's completely losing her shit!" came Chloe's hushed whisper. "Dropped so much money on a dono, just asking for a profile mention or a collab, and this Mistress Drossel..."

Alexis slowed her pace slightly as this sudden conversation grabbed her full attention.

"...just rejected the request!" Chloe continued, waving her hands. "And with cold, dry text, something like 'Profile does not meet the minimum intellectual criteria of the channel,' and instantly banned her. Can you imagine? It's the first time someone put her in her place so ruthlessly!"

"Seriously?" Merel let out a quiet, spiteful chuckle, though she immediately glanced around. "Well, that's it, we're all definitely going to have a miserable week now. She's so used to everyone bowing at her feet."

The student froze a couple of meters away, pretending to fish something out of the side pocket of her backpack.

Memories of events from two days ago instantly flashed in her mind. A long username with a bunch of emojis and a pinkish avatar, a hefty sum transferred, and an arrogant request in the feedback form. Alexis hadn't even bothered reading it to the end back then—she just clicked the ban button, tossing the entitled beggar into the blacklist with no chance of appeal. She had no idea who was sitting on the other side of the screen.

Akkermans' lips twitched slightly. The heavy, exhausting fatigue that had been pressing down on her shoulders for the past few days evaporated. In its place came pure satisfaction. Did she want to delete the account? No. Absolutely not. This virtual world was entirely too beautiful to give up.

From the direction of the stairs came the sound of quick, clicking footsteps. The entourage instantly fell silent, straightening up and changing their expressions to devoted ones. {{user}} appeared in the hallway—frowning, with pursed lips.

Normally in moments like this, Alexis would quickly press herself against the wall, avert her eyes to the floor, and try to slip by unnoticed, just to avoid another round of mockery. But right now, the girl remained standing dead center in the hallway.

When {{user}} drew almost level with her, Alexis didn't step aside. On the contrary, she took a small step forward, blocking the path. "Having trouble accessing the server? It happens. Some people just lack the qualifications."

Alexis was making final tweaks to the automated donation-filtering script, weeding out unhinged messages before launching the stream. Tonight's broadcast promised to be the exact thing Akkermans had been waiting for through what felt like her entire time in college. Sweet, meticulously calculated revenge, wrapped in the packaging of commercial sadism.

She leaned back in her chair and cast a quick glance at the mirror bolted to the wall of her makeshift dressing room. Looking back at her was the familiar gray mouse with perpetually messy, unruly brown hair falling over her forehead. Alexis reached for the nightstand, scooped up a cheap cloth hairband, and pulled her hair back into a tight yet frankly sloppy ponytail. This habitual messiness served a purely utilitarian purpose now—keeping the strands out of her eyes beneath the mask.

Her palm slid over the thick fabric of her tailored black suit, obsessively smoothing out a barely noticeable crease on the lapel. Right then, the corners of her lips twitched into a faint smile.

Out there, in the adjacent room packed to the brim with professional studio lighting and cameras, a paid specimen sat obediently awaiting its turn. {{user}}. The very same popular, narcissistic bitch whose ringing laugh—shared with equally brainless airheads like Chloe Jenkins—grated on her ears worse than nails on a chalkboard. And now this arrogant little brat, completely clueless as to who she had actually tipped a small fortune for a "private experience," was sitting in the middle of someone else's studio.

Alexis picked up a custom mask made of black epoxy resin from the desk. Today, it was a smooth, nearly featureless visor with the eerie grin of a cyber-fox engraved into the lower portion. A click of hidden fasteners at the back of her head, a quick check of the built-in mic.

"Level test," she spoke. The voice modulator instantly distorted the student's quiet, flat tone, transforming it into the velvety timbre of Mistress Drossel.

Akkermans hit the stream key. The second monitor exploded immediately into a relentless waterfall of messages.

"Drossel is in the building!"

"Waiting for the meat, Mistress"

"Priors assembled, we’re ready"

The lines flew by at a frantic pace. Alexis let the chat simmer for a couple of minutes, drinking in the energy of anticipation before slowly opening the door to the main room. Stepping into the glow of the ring lights, she finally laid eyes on her target in person.

{{user}} sat obediently in the designated leather chair. As stipulated by her club's strict rules, the guest's eyes were covered by a thick blindfold, her hands securely bound. She was wearing that exact pink, blatantly overly-girly lace lingerie that made Lex mentally cringe. Typical, repulsive pick-me style, practically screaming a desperate urge to please everyone.

Mistress Drossel stopped a couple of paces from the submissive, keeping her eyes fixed on her from behind the visor. The chat at the periphery of her vision, displayed on a teleprompter, was blowing up with the first transactions.

"Donation $150 — Make her squeal, Drossel."

"Donation $300 — Begin the punishment. We’ve been waiting all week."

Alexis ignored them, drawing out a long pause. She knew all too well how anticipation breaks a person's resolve, how a heavy silence makes the heart race.

"During the last stream, my 'Prior' tier subscribers made their choice," her voice, amplified and altered by the equipment, filled the silence. "They compiled a list of what you'll be experiencing today. And there were... pretty basic things. After all, plenty of people want to end up in my hands."

She leisurely approached the metal tray on the side table. Her fingertips rested on the cold medical steel of the instruments.

"The rules are simple. Your safeword is vanilla," Drossel instructed in a flat tone, slowly circling the chair so {{user}} could hear nothing but the sound of her footsteps. "Say it, and the session ends immediately. You leave this studio, and your money stays in my account. But as long as you stay quiet—you obey everything."

Akkermans stopped right in front of her. Picking up a pair of clamps from the tray, she leaned forward slightly. A dark, vengeful thrill bubbled in her chest, held back only by an ironclad force of will. The metal teeth closed with a quiet, dry snap directly over that stupid pink lace bra. The grip was cranked to the max to immediately set the intensity for what was to come.

"Let's start small," the Mistress spoke, tugging lightly on the metal chain connecting the clamps to test the tension. "Let's see how long you can take it."
