I awoke with the late-morning sun streaming into my windows, my sheets damp with sweat. My body was still tired and sore from the exertions of the previous night, but I felt strangely refreshed. I wondered how I would deal with the consequences of my actions the night before - how I would face the friends who had forced me to kneel at their feet and seen me lick the boots of my mistress - but the light of the new day gave me the optimism that everything would be better. I stretched, running my hands over thighs and belly and breasts, luxuriating in the feel of my body. I knew I had sexual needs whose depths I had never before suspected, but that gave me a curious feeling of pleasure and satisfaction, knowing I could indulge those needs when I chose.
Then my fingers encountered the band of steel locked around my neck, and I remembered that neither Cristina nor Stefan had ever removed my collar. The weight of the inflexible collar, which I had grown so accustomed to the night before, felt strange and frightening in the light of day and the softness of my bed. I put my hands to the collar and tried to pull it open, to no avail. I felt carefully around the outside and inside of the collar for a latch, but found only a narrow seam with a small keyhole next to it. I jumped up and ran to look in the bathroom mirror. To my dismay, I saw that it was securely, immovably locked on me. I made a few efforts to pick the lock with a hairpin, but failed miserably in my attempts. My heart began to race. How could I go out with the symbol of my submission locked about my neck for all to see? What did it mean that they had left the collar on me? Would I ever be free of it? But then I began to calm down. Of course it had been a simple oversight. Cristina had amused herself with treating me as a slave at the club, but she could not possibly want to be bothered with a slave all the time. I would just call her, ask her to come over to unlock the collar, and everything would be as before.
Happy with my self-reassurances, I turned on the water and stepped into the shower. Luxuriating in the hot water, I considered my body in a new light. I had always thought myself pretty, but had never given serious thought to how men - or women - might evaluate my naked body as a source of sexual pleasure. I smiled. It might have been my first time, but I was sure that at least some men had found me of interest as a sexual object. I was still deeply humiliated by Stefan's outright refusal to take advantage of my shamelessly offered charms, but surely few men could have turned down the opportunity I had presented. I supposed I was lucky that he was one of them. I wondered how I would feel now if I had truly been help from behind and brutally, forcibly taken, perhaps over and over, of if I had felt and tasted the seed of multiple men on my tongue.
I turned off the water, toweled myself off, and picked up the phone to call Cristina. Suddenly I was overcome with doubt. What would she say to me? Would she still treat me as her slave and demand my unquestioning obedience? Had she lost all respect for me? Could she only see me as the soft, helpless, willing slut I had played last night?
But there was nothing else to do, short of calling locksmith to pick the lock on my collar. I dialed her number and waited, not breathing. She picked up the phone. "Hallo?"
"Hi, Cristina, this is Jenny."
"Oh, hi, Jenny," she said enthusiastically, "how are you feeling today?"
"Great," I said, not sure how she would take that. "I mean, last night was quite an experience."
"You really seemed to be enjoying yourself," Cristina asked innocently.
I wasn't sure how I should answer that one - I couldn't deny it, but I needed to appear the confident, free-spirited person I tried to be. I settled on "Yes, it was very interesting to play that role. Thanks for letting me try it out."
"You seemed to take to it very naturally," she answered. "Stefan said you took it very seriously."
So she knew. She seemed to be giving me the benefit of the doubt, at least. I decided to drop the subject.
"Anyway, you forgot to give Stefan the key to my collar. Can you come over here and unlock it for me? It's a little embarrassing," I said. Now that was an understatement. Less than a visible sign that actually would not have been terribly remarkable in certain districts of Berlin, it was more a constant reminder of the slave girl who had so comfortably inhabited my body the night before, and who lay just below the surface of my current demeanor.
"Well, I'm terribly busy today, and I don't really have time to come over to your neighborhood," Cristina said. "Why don't you meet me on my way?" she asked. "I'm going to be in Prenzlauer Berg around lunchtime and we can meet at the caf . Say at 1:30."
"OK," I said, not wanting to admit my embarrassment. "I'll see you then."
"Great," she answered. "See you."
I spent the next couple hours puttering around my apartment, trying unsuccessfully not to think about my upcoming encounter with Cristina. Our relationship had seemed quite normal during the call, except for the scarcely-hidden implications of her casual remarks. Did she think I was a natural slave? What did she think of the fact that I had shamelessly offered my body to Stefan, pleading on my knees like a slut? I imagined her forcing me to strip off my clothes at an outdoor table and kneel at her feet, occupying my tongue with the work of cleaning the dust off her boots. But I knew I had no choice. I would have to confront her at some point.
I decided to dress in as un-slave-like a fashion as possible. I put on jeans, a T-shirt from a 10K I had run a few months before, and a UCLA sweatshirt, wrapped a dark silk scarf as best I could around the steel collar, and pulled my hair back into a ponytail. I wore no makeup at all. Looking in the mirror, apart from the somewhat incongruous silk scarf, I saw a completely normal, well-adjusted college student. Steeling my resolve, I left the apartment and got on the U-bahn for Prenzlauer Berg.
When I got to the caf , Cristina was already seated at an outdoor table, casually sipping a cappuccino and looking over what looked like photographs. As I approached, she put them back in a large envelope, rose, and greeted me with a kiss on the cheek. "Hello, my little slave," she said with a wink and a smile, as if it were all pleasant joke among friends.
"Hello, mistress," I tried to say with the same casual air. She indicated a seat to me and I took it.
"I had a really good time last night," Cristina began. "I trust you did, too?"
I responded with the line I had worked on in the subway on the way over. "Yes, I did. I've always liked trying new things, and this was definitely new. I'm not sure I would do it again, but I'm glad I did it."
"I think you liked it a bit more than that," Cristina said with a knowing smile. "I'm not sure I've ever seen a girl as heated as you were bound to that table. Although that was probably nothing compared to when Stefan took you home." There was silence. Luckily, Cristina changed the subject. "Hey, look at these," she said, pushing the envelope toward me.
I opened it and pulled out a small stack of black-and-white 8x10 photos. I gasped. There I was, wearing the slave's clothing that Cristina had given me to ward, licking the boots of doorman on a public street. Then I was kneeling at the table where Cristina and her friends were happily chatting, my head down, my knees spread. Then I was bent over and bound to that leather table, my body completely exposed to the camera. Then I was seen from the front, my lips wrapped around the whip handle that Cristina was thrusting deep into my mouth.
I looked up. "Where did you get these?" I asked.
"Oh, the guy who runs the club is a friend of mine. He usually has a photographer take a few pictures of the star attractions. You should be happy. He clearly thought you were one of the hottest girls there last night." I couldn't speak, too shocked by the idea that last night's adventure in submission had been recorded for posterity. "You're really quite beautiful as a slave," Cristina said, smiling again. "Much more than in those heavy clothes and silly ponytail."
"What are you going to do with the pictures?" I asked, as a new fantasy rapidly unfolded in my head, in which I was blackmailed into becoming Cristina's personal slave, or perhaps the property of the club itself, constantly available to any of its guests. I had reached the point where I had been tied again to that same table, but now was being used repeatedly by one man after another when Cristina interrupted my horrifying yet fascinating reverie.
"They're for you," she said. "I thought you might want them as ... as a souvenir."
"But what about the negatives?"
"Oh, don't worry about that," Cristina said dismissively. "My friend is extremely discreet. The last thing he wants is a reputation of exploiting the people who pay his cover charges and buy his drinks. If he put those pictures up on the Internet, people would stop going to his parties."
That felt like a rather paltry measure of security to me, but I decided there was little I could do about it. For all I knew, he had a right to take the pictures, as I had freely entered his club dressed the way I did, and had freely engaged in the activities I was now shocked to contemplate in images. "Thanks, I guess," I said. "By the way, " I continued as casually as I could, "did you bring the key for my collar?"
"Yes, I did," she answered, "but there's one favor I'd like to ask in exchange."
"What is it?" I asked, not sure if I wanted to hear the answer.
"I've been invited to a dinner party on Tuesday, and I wanted to know if you would go as my date?"
"As your date?"
"Well, actually, each person has to bring a slave." The words struck deep into my heart and body. I could feel warmth beginning to simmer between my thighs. "You would just have to act like a slave, just like last night," she continued reassuringly. "Everyone will know you aren't really a slave."
I thought for a moment about what that could mean. Were there really women - and men - who were truly slaves, fully owned, compelled to utter obedience to their masters, open and available to any of their whims or desires? Or did she only mean that there were people who had more experience playing the role of slaves, who perhaps would surrender themselves unconditionally for the span of an evening?
In any case, I could tell from the heat in my belly that I was clearly interested, but I did not want to let on to Cristina the extent of my desire. "Would I have to go completely naked?" I asked, trying to buy time.
"Not if you don't want to," Cristina answered. "I'm sure what you wore last night would be appropriate."
"What kind of service would I have to provide? Would I have to sleep with anyone?"
"That depends on what you want, Jenny," my friend said seriously. She waited. "What do you want?"
"Well ... I might want to in some circumstances" - I could hardly deny that, since she knew all about my attempts to interest Stefan - "but I'm not sure I like the idea of being forced to please anyone who wants me."
"You won't have to do anything you don't want to," Cristina promised. "If you want to call it off, just say so and I'll take you home."
"OK, then, I guess I'll try it. But only because it's you," I said, trying to sound less excited than I was.
Cristina smiled. "I knew you'd agree. You'll have lots of fun."
"Now will you take of this collar?" I reminded her.
"Of course." She got up and stood behind me. "Bend forward and hold your hair out of the way." I obeyed, realizing the submissiveness of this posture, even here at a sidewalk caf table, baring my neck before Cristina. She pulled off the scarf, exposing the steel collar to public view. I felt a bolt click and then the soft breeze on the back of my neck as she lifted the collar away.
"Thank you," I whispered, finally free of that most compelling symbol of my bondage.
"Any time," Cristina answered. "Why don't I just give you the key, so that doesn't happen again," she said. I looked at her, wondering what she meant. "Well, it's your collar now," she explained. "You can take it home and put it on whenever the urge takes you."
The urge? Did she realize the depth of attraction that collar held for me? "Well, ok," I said.
"It's settled, then," Cristina said, gathering up her things. "I'll pick you up at your place on Tuesday around 6:30."
"What should I, uh, wear?" I asked.
"Nothing," she said. Seeing the shock on my face, she said, "No, I don't mean you should go nude. Just don't worry about it. I'll bring you something ... suitable." I wondered if that meant I would be granted more or less modesty than I had enjoyed the night before, when my most feminine secrets had been clearly on view and open to all. I wondered if it were possible to be more naked yet not completely nude. But I would be going to this party as a slave girl. I slave has no control over what, if anything, she is allowed to wear. She must simply abide by her master's will, even if that means displaying her charms openly to all comers. That is the least a slave must expect.
"OK, see you then," I managed to say. Clutching the collar in my hand, I began to retrace my journey to my apartment.
The next few days went by in a blur. I could think about nothing except the party to which I would be going and, I suspected, at which I would be a considerable part of the entertainment. I was afraid to see Cristina or any of the friends who had seen me at the club, for fear of how they might treat me. I found myself constantly wondering what other people, particularly men, thought of me. Did they find me attractive? Would they like to have me kneeling naked at their feet? If I begged them to rape me, would they do so?
When Tuesday came, I felt almost sick with nervous anticipation. Last time Cristina had exposed me in public, virtually naked, forced me to kneel before and lick her feet, bound me bent over a table - in short, had treated me as a slave. What would she demand of me tonight? I assumed she command at least as much, and probably more. I expected I would find myself completely nude before strangers, my charms open and exposed. But would I be compelled to serve them with my body, surrendering the last vestige of my freedom, my soft flesh a mere vessel for their pleasure? And if I were so commanded, would I obey? I spent much of the day trying to decide how I would respond. On the one hand, I was deeply, viscerally attracted to the thought of being used as a helpless sexual plaything, taken casually in multiple ways by strong masters intent only on their own pleasure. On the other hand, I was frightened to fully admit my inner nature to the world, to Cristina, and even to myself. At the time, I thought that it was still possible to turn my back on this new world, to return to the person I had been just a week before; but I sensed that if I truly surrendered my body, I would be crossing an line of significance, searing a mark in my body that would be impossible to erase. Then, I sensed, I would truly be a slave, for there would remain nothing to separate me from that condition of complete bondage and sexual servitude. What I failed to realize was that I was already a slave, that there could be no turning back.
At the time, I told myself that I would not let masters have complete sway over my body, that I would protect my last and most intimate assets from their attentions. But I could not be sure that I would comply with that decision.
A few minutes after 6:30, just when I was beginning to wonder if Cristina found me sufficiently pleasing, I heard a knock on the door. I opened it, and there she was, wearing an elegant black dress and high heels. "Hi, Cristina," I started to say when she interrupted me.
"Shouldn't you be on your knees, slut?" she said coldly.
I swallowed my excuses and lowered myself to my knees. I spread them widely, even though I was wearing jeans. I looked up at my mistress, already feeling the now-familiar stirring between my legs. "Yes, mistress," I said. "I'm sorry, mistress."
She brushed her hand in through my hair. "That's ok, Jenny," she said. "You have a lot to learn, but you show great potential." I wondered what she meant by that. "Well, my car's waiting, so let's get you dressed and let's get out of here."
She opened her bag and pulled out two bands of dark blue cloth. "This one goes around your breasts, and the other goes around your hips," she said matter-of-factly. "You tuck the loose end in back." I looked at the cloth. At least it was opaque this time, I thought. "You can use the bathroom," she said, smiling.
I rose to my feet, took the clothes, and went into the bathroom. Well, I should have known it would be something like this. I took off my clothes and looked in the mirror. There was really nothing there that hadn't been on display to hundreds of people last week. I wondered how long it would be before those full breasts and soft hips would again be exposed to view. I wondered if this evening's dinner guests would find them satisfactory. I hope they would.
Each band of cloth was long enough to wrap around my body almost twice. The one for my hips was about six inches wide, allowing me to cover the area from the tops of my hip bones down to a couple inches below my crotch. I started it at my left hip, and wrapped it in front of my body twice before tucking it as tightly as I could in back. I simple tug, I knew, and it would be around my ankles, baring my charms to view. I wrapped the top, which was only about four inches wide, around my breasts twice and, after a bit of a struggle, managed to tuck it in as well. I looked at myself again in the mirror. Most of my breasts were visible above and below the cloth, their curves clearly delineated. My hips were more or less covered, but I knew if I were to bend over that my modesty would be entirely compromised. Just as last time, my garment was open at the bottom; there was not even the flimsiest shield of cloth to stand between me and a master's predations. I supposed that was as it should be. A slave girl should always be open and available for use.
I walked out of the bathroom, stopped in front of Cristina, and knelt as she had taught me, my knees widely spread, my breasts lifted up and forward for her inspection. I lifted my eyes to her, hoping for a favorable reception. She looked down at me and smiled.
"You look marvelous, my dear. Any man who sees you will be tempted to tear off your clothes and take you on the spot."
I shuddered, thinking about how dangerous it would be to be a beautiful slave. In my ordinary life I could usually protect myself from the demands of men who might desire my body. As a slave, however, I would be at risk of forcible usage by any man or woman who cared to possess me. I would simply have to comply with his or her wishes, fully and submissively.
"Down on all fours," Cristina ordered, pulling her riding crop from her belt for emphasis. Terrified, wondering what I had done, I lowered myself to hands and knees, my hair falling over my face. "Now, crawl away from me to the other side of the room and turn around." I did so, my breasts swaying gently under me. I turned and faced her. "Now get down on your belly and clasp your hands behind your back." I obeyed, my breasts now pressed against the hard floor, my head lifted off the ground to see her. "Very good," Cristina said. "Now crawl back to me on your belly and kiss my feet." Why was she doing this to me? What was she putting me through my paces like a trained animal? Tears in my eyes, I began to inch across the floor on my belly. "Hurry up, slut!" she shouted, and snapped the crop in the air. I redoubled my efforts, squirming towards my mistress's feet, utterly humiliated. When I reached her, I began licking and kissing frantically at her shoes, hoping through sufficient passion to convince her of my sincere obedience. I felt the end of the crop tracing lazy circles across my back and moaned softly.
"You may desist, slave," Cristina said. I tried to look up at her. "Kneel as you were before." I obeyed. She pressed her crop to my lips and I kissed it fervently. "That was a test of your obedience and docility," she said. She paused. "You passed with flying colors. You clearly have the makings of a truly submissive slave." I blushed deeply. Not only had I obeyed her least command instantly, but in the process I had actually become aroused. Just crawling across the floor, licking my mistress's shoes, and kissing her whip had left me weak with desire. I wondered if Cristina could sense my piteous state.
Cristina reached down and snapped the end of a chain leash on the ring on my collar. "Now we're ready to go," she said. She picked up my keys from the kitchen counter and led the way out of the apartment, locking the door behind her. I followed her down the stairs and out the door to her waiting car. Groups of people turned and stared as the collared and leashed slave girl followed her mistress into the limousine, her scanty clothing hardly concealing the delights of her body. Instead of sitting on the seat, I instinctively knelt before my mistress, my knees spread, awaiting her command. She smiled. I expected her to draw my head toward her and command me to serve her. Now was the moment when I would begin to pay the ultimate price of my slavery, when I would begin learn how to satisfy my mistress's every pleasure. But instead, she reached down to adjust my clothes, revealing even more of my breasts and hips, accentuating my figure even further. "Yes, you make a wonderful slave," she said softly, her hands caressing my naked flanks. "It will be a pleasure to finally take you." My heart fluttered in anticipation.
Eventually the car stopped. The driver opened the door and Cristina stepped out, her slave trailing behind. We were in the large, circular driveway of what looked like late-nineteenth-century mansion. Cristina turned to me. "Remember, you are a slave here. If anyone says anything to you, you obey immediately. Anything less will be punished." She paused. "If anything goes beyond your limits, let me know and I'll take you home. OK?"
"Yes, mistress," I said.
Satisfied, she walked up the steps to the front door. I followed, my heart beating furiously. What lay beyond that door?
Cristina rang the doorbell and the door opened almost instantly. Inside was a young, beautiful, red-haired woman, wearing a low-cut, short-skirted, black sheath dress - and a metal collar. I felt a lump in my throat. Was she truly a slave, or was she just playing a role? Was there a difference? She knelt gracefully, her knees widely spread, lowered her head to the floor before Cristina, and straightened up again. "Thank you for coming, mistress," she said. "My master asks you to join him in the library."
"Thank you, Sonja," Cristina said. "Can you take this slut and make her useful?" she said, indicating me. "Her name is Jenny, and she has almost no experience. You may treat her as you would your own slave." I began to feel afraid. With Cristina I felt some reassurance, but I had no idea what this woman might demand from me. Of course, being given or loaned to another master is something a slave girl must be prepared for and accept. It is part of what it means to be a slave.
"Of course, mistress," the kneeling slave said - with what I thought was a hint of a smile. "I'll take care of her as if she were my own."
Cristina turned to me and said, "Remember to obey her - and anyone else - immediately and absolutely. You only exist to serve and please them."
"Yes, mistress," I said, and she handed my leash to Sonja and walked away through the archway to our left.
Sonja stood up gracefully and gave me a hard look. "Why aren't you kneeling, slut?" she said.
I began to stammer a reply, swallowed it, and knelt in front of her submissively. After a moment's hesitation, I opened my knees widely, adopting the position that now seemed so natural to me. Hoping to appease her, I pulled back my shoulders and thrust my breasts up and forward. I hoped she liked what she saw.
"That's better, slut," she said. "Follow me and we'll put you to work. But don't rise from your knees - a slut like you looks better on all fours." I padded along behind her on hands and knees as she led the way through the opulently arrayed dining room and into the kitchen, wondering what kind of "work" awaited me. If Sonja really was a slave and compelled to serve her master's pleasure all day, would she not seize the opportunity to abuse a slave girl of her own? So it was with some surprise that I found myself set to menial kitchen tasks - peeling vegetables, slicing bread, cleaning dishes. As Sonja ordered me about, I found myself, surprisingly, becoming mildly aroused. So slavery was not just about being stripped naked, thrown to the ground, and raped as I had fantasized - it was also about cooking and cleaning, attending to every wish a master might have.
Twice more the doorbell rang. Each time Sonja answered the door and came back with another exquisite, scantily dressed woman, collared, presumably another slave girl. One, a tall, statuesque blonde wearing a translucent white minidress, was named Eva; the other, a half-Asian with black hair and deep green eyes, wearing a black lace bra and panties, was named Melissa. I was introduced as Jenny, the "new American slut." As Cristina had warned me, I addressed them as Mistress, which seemed to amuse them.
They seemed to know each other well, and chatted as they worked in the kitchen. I could not make out everything they were saying, but the more I listened, the more certain I was that they truly lived as slaves, as they discussed their masters and the services they rendered to them, seemingly proud of the indignities they were forced to endure.
At a pause in the conversation, I turned to Sonja and said, "Mistress, may I ask a question?"
"Go ahead, slut," she answered.
"Are you all really ... slaves?" I managed to say.
"Yes, of course we are," said Sonja. "As are you, no doubt."
"I mean, do you really belong to masters, all the time, and do you do whatever they ask?"
"Well, we don't do everything they ask, but generally we keep them happy enough," she answered. "But I thought Cristina said you were her slave."
"I'm not really her slave ... at least not all the time," I said. "Only sometimes."
"You're not really a slave, then?" Eva asked. "You dress like that and wear a collar for fun?"
"Um ... it's sort of like that," I said.
Sonja laughed. "You're a slave girl, all right, if I've ever seen one. I saw the way you spread your knees before me." She put her hands on my shoulders and pushed down, guiding me to my knees. I opened them once again. "Now bend down and get your lovely mouth to work licking my feet," she said. Numbly, I obeyed, secretly thrilled to be lavishing my attentions on the feet of a lowly slave girl. I could hear the other women laughing. "Later we'll find out how good she really is," I heard Sonja saying to them.
"OK, slut, you can stop now," Sonja said. I knelt back on my heels and looked up at her, my knees still widely spread. "Get back to work." I obeyed silently, wondering what kind of girl I really was. Was there really anything that separated me from these three enslaved beauties, so at ease in their collars? I expected I would soon find out.
At dinner there were three men and Cristina. It was our job to serve dinner, to wait on our masters, to attend their every need or desire. When not engaged in serving, I followed the example of the other girls and knelt on the floor to the left of Cristina's chair, my knees open and my back straight as I had been taught. Occasionally she would ask me for more water or wine, which I would fetch from the sideboard and pour for her. From time to time she would give me morsels of food, which I would eat either from her fork or in her hand, not allowed the use of my hands. She fed me as one would feed an animal. The dinner conversation went quickly and, while I could not understand much of it, I could make out a number of subjects - politics, Berlin opera houses, the quality of the wine, and ... slaves. The men were openly discussing the qualities of their slaves, even to the nature of the intimate services they were capable of performing. A slave was clearly permitted not even a shred of privacy. Then, with shock, I realized Cristina was talking about me - about the time at the part when Claudette had tested my arousal, and about my offering my body to Stefan when he took me home that night. I lowered my head, mortified. Then they all knew how wantonly I had begged to be used, and as a slave. Surely they would demand at least that from me tonight.
Kneeling by my mistress's chair, dinner seemed to drag on interminably. All I could think about was what indignities I would suffer once the meal had ended. At one point, one of the men at the table made a brief motion to Melissa, kneeling at his left. To my shock, she immediately crawled under the table and positioned herself in front his seat, kneeling between his legs. Although my view was obstructed, her soft moans helped me imagine only too clearly the service she was rendering to him. He continued to eat, drink, and converse normally - except for one moment when he leaned back, closed his eyes, and sighed deeply. A few seconds later Melissa emerged from under the table and resumed her position next to his chair, smiling and licking her lips. He put his hand in her hair and petted her casually. All my fantasies about sexual slavery had not prepared me for what I had just witnessed. I realized that we slaves seated around the table were no more than the food and drink arrayed atop it - objects available to serve the pleasures and desires of the masters seated at the table. Making use of a slave was no more significant than drinking a glass of wine. And I was one of those slaves.
When dinner was over, we cleared the table. Melissa and I washed the dishes while Sonja and Eva served coffee and desserts to the masters in the living room. When we finished with the dishes and joined the others, the masters were beginning to play a game of poker, their slave once again kneeling at their feet, expectant and available. Sonja explained the rules to me. Each person had individually marked chips. When one player had accumulated a certain number of another player's chips, he could "cash them in" for a service ... to be rendered by the other player's slave. The number of chips returned would depend on the service demanded.
"What kinds of services?" I whispered.
She smiled at me. "Oh, anything ... it could range from a little lap dance, to being thrown over a table and raped by everyone in the room. It just depends on how badly your master loses," she laughed.
I knew Cristina had given me a way out if things got too rough for me, but I hoped I wouldn't have to use it.
The hands went quickly, as they were playing a form of the game I knew as "guts" - two cards, no draw, only one round of bidding. And as chips changed hand, debts started to be collected. Eva was kneeling under the table, sucking one man's toes; Sonja did a brief striptease and resumed her position next to her master's chair, nude save for her collar; and then it was my turn.
"Has she ever kissed another woman?" I heard a man asking.
Cristina looked at me. "No, mistress," I whispered.
The next thing I knew, I was locked in a kiss with Melissa, her tongue exploring every corner of my mouth, her hands running possessively over my breasts, back, and hips. When she finally released me from her embrace, my heart was pounding, my mind racing. I had never experienced a kiss like that - so deeply sensual, so passionate, so demanding. And Melissa was only another slave ... I was afraid to find out what it would be like to be kissed by a master.
"How was she?" I heard the same man ask.
Melissa looked straight at me. "Hot and wet," she said, smiling. "I think she wants more." Everyone at the table laughed, masters and slaves alike. I lowered my head, blushing.
Cristina seemed to be playing recklessly, staying in almost every hand even with poor cards. I wondered if she was consciously trying to test my limits tonight. "I'd like to see her naked," another man said the next time. Cristina looked at me, her eyebrow raised. I nodded my head numbly.
"Well, get on with it," Cristina ordered. I rose to my feet, stood as straight as I could, untucked the cloth behind my back, and let it drop to the floor. I stood bare-chested before a room full of virtual strangers. My eyes still on the floor, I reached behind my hips and unwrapped my final veil. I hesitated and looked at Cristina. Her eyes were hard. I lowered my head and dropped the cloth to the floor. Now I wore nothing more than my collar, a naked slave at the mercy of her masters. Conscious of their gazes on me, I sucked in my stomach, pulled back my shoulders, and pushed my chest forward. I hoped they liked the naked body they saw before them. No doubt they were speculating about what uses they would put it to later that evening.
"Turn around slowly, my dear," Cristina said. I obeyed, displayed like any decorative object. "Put your hands in your hair. Spread your legs. Bend over and grasp your ankles. Now get down on all fours. Crawl all the way around the table." I obeyed her every command, tears in my eyes at the humiliation. I could feel my breasts swaying beneath me as I circumnavigated the table. My hair was falling about my face, thankfully preventing me from seeing the expressions on their faces. "On your back. Split your legs and grasp your ankles." Now I was completely exposed to them, and as a slave, unable even to close my legs together. I could hear them discussing the details of my figure and anatomy. Most of what I heard was complimentary, but some was directed at my shortcomings, which were clearly apparent in the company of Sonja, Eva, and Melissa.
"OK, you can kneel here again," I heard Cristina say. I dutifully crawled back to my position and knelt as I had been taught. Now kneeling nude, I was even more conscious of the symbolism of this position, my charms brazenly exposed to view.
Eva was made to dance nude to an apparently Arabic melody before the group, her hips and belly swaying sensuously to the music, expressing her complete submission and availability, promising unlimited depths of pleasure. Melissa gave one man a lap dance, nude, caressing his body passionately with her thighs and breasts.
But Cristina kept losing. The man who had first made me kiss Melissa held her chips. "I think we should give her what Melissa said she wants." He paused. "I want Melissa to pleasure our new guest with her mouth."
"Well, Jenny, what do you think?" Cristina asked. This was something I had never anticipated. I had expected to be the one kneeling on the floor, putting my lips and tongue to their most appropriate use - not to have a lovely slave serving my pleasure. Perhaps this didn't count as being raped, since I was the one benefiting - or perhaps it was just that I had become so aroused already that I desperately wanted some form of release.
"Yes, mistress," I said. "I'm willing."
I was laid down on my back over a glass coffee table, my wrists bound above my head to the far legs of the table. Melissa knelt between my legs. "I'd like to shave the slut first," she said, a wicked gleam in her eye. And so, bound over a table, in full view of all assembled, my most private regions were shaved completely bare, leaving me more naked than I had thought possible. And then I felt Melissa's mouth on me, alternately soft and hard, slow and fast, cool and hot, bringing me to a state of piteous arousal but never giving my body the release it needed. "Please ... please ..." I whimpered after a few minutes, no longer caring what anyone thought. I heard laughter and voices, sounding distant as though at the far end of a long tunnel.
"Look at the slut. Watch how the arches her back and thrusts her hips out."
"This is a new slave, Cristina?"
"Where did you find her?"
Then Melissa withdrew, leaving me to my humiliating arousal. So this was one of the ways that a slave could please her masters - entertaining them with her helpless, captive arousal, only to be cruelly frustrated. Whether I was satisfied or not mattered not to them. My wrists were released from their bonds, and I returned on all fours to my post next to Cristina's chair, sobbing quietly. I knew already that pleasuring myself would be grounds for punishment. I could only kneel mutely and hope that the next master to claim my services would use me in such a way as to permit my own satisfaction.
The stakes were increasing and the end of the game nearing. One man amassed large numbers of each person's chips and announced a special hand to determine which slave he would claim next. In preparation, all four slaves knelt with our heads to the floor, our hands clasped behind our heads, in position to await the outcome. We heard the cards being dealt and played to determine which of us would be raped. I alternately prayed and dreaded that I would be chosen, torn between my shreds of dignity and my body's desperate yearning for release. I heard the man rise from his chair and come around behind us. My body was wet in anticipation, ready to be penetrated and used. But instead, it was Eva who was the subject of his attentions. Not yet released from my position, I listened to her moans and cries as she ultimately yielded. I was thankful that I had not been forced to so clearly demonstrate my helplessness and submission. But at the same time, I was incredibly envious of her rape.
Fortunately or unfortunately for me, Cristina's luck seemed to turn. Sonja was commanded to take up her place under the table, serving each master in turn while they continued to play. Melissa was thrown on her back over the coffee table and forcibly used by one of the men, she also yielding to his powerful thrusts. I then saw her rise from the table, kneel before her rapist, and clean him with her mouth.
And then the party was breaking up, the masters having satiated themselves with the slave flesh available to them. Cristina indicated that I should dress myself. I looked at her, pleading with my eyes. Was I not to be raped? Could she not see my overwhelming need? But clearly she could see how aroused I was. It was her decision, as my mistress, that I would not be satisfied.
I rearranged the bands of cloth about my breasts and hips. Cristina reattached the leash to my collar and, having said her good-byes, led me out the door and back to her limousine.
Without being asked, I knelt before her and removed the cloth from my body, stripping myself naked before my mistress. "Mistress, your slave begs to please you," I pleaded, tears running down my cheeks. "Please let me demonstrate my submission. Use me any way you want."
Cristina smiled down at me. "Not now, my dear," she said. "There will be plenty of that later."
