Dominance

[slippedhalo]

Aria felt eyes upon her and she smiled and nodded slightly at Master Edward and greeted each of his girls. Her eyes fell upon Pearl and she softened her smile, "Hello, my lovely." she said before letting the rest of the introductions commence.

She watched as Jordan was introduced. Yet another surprise, another acquisition made without her by Jonathon. Amber sat there as well, two new jewels in Jonathon's crown and she, the head slave, his oldest companion...She'd not been trusted to choose either of them, to name either of them nor even trusted to advise them properly now, it seemed. Why? she wondered. Was Jonathon displeased with her somehow?

They used to always be able to talk, about anything. Now...Aria wondered what Joanthon's goal was in this. Had she become too complacent here in her spot of false authority? Was she too old, or not as pretty as she used to be? Were her skills in the bedroom waning? What could it be that made him keep wanting more and more girls, less and less of her time, expertise, company? Perhaps, he was trying to get her to leave because he wanted her out and didn't know how to say so. Perhaps this was a slow squeeze, a way to usurp her from her throne...

Aria caught herself biting her lip, staring too closely at the new girls...she dropped her emerald gaze a moment and then recovered her mask of poise and grace. She saw Edward's eyes narrow as he watched and she saw he was looking past Jordan... In her moment of weakness, he'd seen her face. Blushing she smiled wider and tried as best she could to compensate for the momentary slip in her self control.

It had been pure heaven to stand through having her Master apply her sunscreen and as a result Angel had arrived at the picnic in a state

of semi arousal with a faint smile still on her lovely lips. As Master Edward unsnapped her leash angel found herself wishing that he had left

it in place; for it bound her to Him more securely than mere words.

Angel smiled at Aria and knelt in the soft grass and proceeded to watch events unfold with interest.

Wow! Master Johnathan had more girls, how many did he need to satisfy him she wondered, one would think the beautiful Aria would be

enough?

 

[princesssuzanne]

Celeste was a bit surprised when she was told to take off the dress but she did as she was told. She stood not moving as Master applied sunscreen to her ivory skin. When he was done, she followed them hanging back slightly to walk behind Angel. When they arrived at the picnic, he took off their leash. She followed Angel as she knelt on the ground, Celeste knelt to but behind Angel. She was not comfortable being nude, especially in the sunlight, because you could see the fading scars and the scar tissue from the burns that marred her sides.

 

[yeishia]

Angel was happily taking it all in when she realized that her ‘sister’ was sitting behind her. Turning to her she motioned for Celeste to kneel beside her, "Come sit here Celeste,” she insisted, taking her hand and pulling her forward.

As Celeste moved reluctantly to join her, angel gave her friend a long hard look hoping that she was not upset with her. Angel noticed that she had her hands wrapped protectively around her own body, and as the sunshine peeked from behind a tree angel gave an audible gasp, “Oh my goodness what happened to you Celeste?”

Removing her Celeste's arms from around her body angel trailed her fingers over the scars revealed to her. Her violet eyes filling with tears as she bent to place a chaste kiss on Celeste’s lips.”What happened tell me please who hurt you so,” she whispered as she pulled her out of the harmful sunlight.

Angel was shocked! she had been the recipient of violent whippings and beatings many times, but Cedric had most been careful to leave no permanent scars that would lesson the value of his property!

 

[marauder13]

Edward listened to the soft whispers of Angel to Celeste, expressing her concerns over the scars that marred her body. Edward let Angel continue to talk, as it was good that they were definitely helping each other cope to their change in life.

Edward put his left hand down, running his hand over and through Angel's hair. He liked the hair of both his girls, the long and lustrous cascades of hair that helped show off their innate beauty. Edward included some gentle stroking of Angel's chin with the back of his fingers. It was definitely a nice, comforting action that made him feel that he and Angel were starting to get closer to forming a proper relationship.

Aria ... caught herself biting her lip, staring too closely at the new girls...she dropped her emerald gaze a moment and then recovered her mask of poise and grace. She saw Edward's eyes narrow as he watched and she saw he was looking past Jordan... In her moment of weakness, he'd seen her face. Blushing she smiled wider and tried as best she could to compensate for the momentary slip in her self control.

Cat was observing all this. She wondered if anyone had noticed her post virginal face, or if they even cared. She told herself that it had to happen one day, and now it had she would use it. She thought back to her school days when one of her friends had lost her virginity. How she had told her that if she surrendered to an older man he would feel protective towards her. Jonathan obviously did as he had comforted her after her nightmare.

Yet she felt uneasy about Aria. She wanted to eventually remove her, but she had feelings for her. Feelings she felt rattled when she caught her looking at the other girls. She accidently on purpose allowed her right breast to brush against aria’s upper arm and she kept it there.

 

[yeishia]

Edward put his left hand down, running his hand over and through Angel's hair.

Angel herself was calmed by the movement of His fingers through her hair, they gave her the strength to try and help her 'sister' even though her mind was still in turmoil. As He stroked her chin with His fingers she gently kissed them as they passed her lips.

“Celeste that will never happen to you here I am certain of it, please do not feel you have to hide your scars they are beautiful and as

you heal they will fade,“ she told her earnestly. “Open your heart and please enjoy this picnic with us, your Master and your

angel…”

 

[princesssuzanne]

Celeste nodded her head as she heard Angel's soothing words but they didn't matter. The reminders were there and some scars run deeper.

 

[slippedhalo]

Aria felt Cat against her and she turned her head to focus on her new acquisition, "My dear Cat, how are you feeling now?" she asked in soft dulcit tones as she caressed the breast touching her, then the cheek of the lovely young female at her side. Caring for her girls was a good distraction from worrying over Jonathon's...was that what this house was becoming? Hers' and His'? she wondered.

 

[yeishia]

Angel realized that even though Celeste nodded there would be no confidences shared here at the Picnic time enough for that when they got home. Kissing her forehead she reassured her, “Celeste stay here and try to relax let Angel take care of your needs I will bring you food and drink.

Gracefully standing she moved in closer to her Master, lightly touching his wrist to indicate her need to speak with Him. When he nodded His ascent she moved closer still and took a steadying breath before she voiced her request in a voice that was for His ears alone, “Master my ‘sister’ is in distress, her scars, her pain, they shock me so......why scars, I do not understand? Would it be possible for this girl to fetch her dress please, so that she may enjoy this picnic?” Lifting her violet eyes to His, hers filled with unshed tears. “If it is Your will?“, she whispered.

Stepping back a little she respectfully awaited His response.

Stepping back a little she respectfully awaited His response.

"Celeste had a lover who was cruel to her, and left those scars upon her. He had no real love for her. That is part of the reason she is here. To escape her past and move on." He looked to Angel, and smiled before he kissed her cheek gently. "You are a good 'sister' to Celeste. But she will remain as she is. She will learn to embrace her scars, and love them as a sign of how strong she is to have endured their cause. For them to become the badges of courage that they are. We need to help her face her fears, and better them, not hide and run from them.

"Just like you, Angel. We will help you face your fears and better them too. It will make you a far better woman, and in turn, far more pleasing to me." He kissed her cheek again, while casually running his hand over her back.

 

[YoungLisa]

Aria felt Cat against her and she turned her head to focus on her new acquisition, "My dear Cat, how are you feeling now?" she asked in soft dulcit tones as she caressed the breast touching her, then the cheek of the lovely young female at her side. Caring for her girls was a good distraction from worrying over Jonathon's...was that what this house was becoming? Hers' and His'? she wondered.

Cat felt herself purring as Aria caressed her breast. She felt a little sore deep inside after the events of the previous night, but she was a woman now and needed to act like one. "I'm OK" she replied, "just a little twinge down there" (she motioned towards her pussy area). Nothing a hot saline bath won't fix.

She pressed further to allow Aria greater access to her breast. "Seems I had a special birthday after all." She winked at Aria. Then spying the other new girls she just threw in "Seems I might have competition" she looked firmly at Aria hoping she might blush again.

 

[yeishia]

Looking at her Master and worrying her bottom lip angel confessed, “Cedric whipped this one but her never left scars that would devalue his property.” Edward looked to Angel, and smiled before he kissed her cheek gently. Angel touched her fingertips to the place where His lips had left their imprint searching His face as He continued to tell her that Celeste will remain as she is.

“We need to help her face her fears, and better them, not hide and run from them.” Could angel really help Celeste do that when she had spent her own life isolated from her own...

"Just like you, Angel. We will help you face your fears and better them too.. Could this man.. this Master help her move forward... could she really ever become the woman he wanted her to be?

He kissed her cheek again and she felt the intoxicating motion of His hand on her skin as it traveled down her back soothing her emotions. In that moment standing in His powerful aura she almost believed that she could....

Smiling slightly, ”This one,” angel straightened her small shoulders standing taller, “I will of course trust Your judgment as it seem that I possess very little of my own”

She longed to reach up and touch His face instead she offered. “It would be my pleasure if you would allow me to serve you some refreshments when you are ready Master?”

 

[marauder13]

Smiling slightly, ”This one,” angel straightened her small shoulders standing taller, “I will of course trust Your judgment as it seem that I possess very little of my own”

"Angel, your previous Master wasted so much of what you have to offer. There is a reason why I choose to 'buy' you, Angel. While you are well versed in the ways of using your body to bring sexual pleasure, there is more to pleasing someone that just that. You have much untapped intelligence, Angel. An intelligent woman is by far more pleasing. She can use her imagination to make things different enough to be novel... new... exciting.

"Plus, with more education, more exposure to new ideas, comes more confidence, which is also very useful when trying to please someone. Not to mention that there are many other activities that can be done that are equally enjoyable. Merely having you and Celeste here with me brings me pleasure. I also like to feel your body as I am now. I find it comforting. I find you, and Celeste both to be comforting to me."

Edward turned to look directly into Angel's eyes. "And if what Tyron has informed me of is also correct, your old Master never brought you to orgasm. That is one cruelty I will not subject you to. Because, once you know what brings yourself pleasure, you can please others more. I will discover how to make you reach your heights of pleasure. Because I like my women to know that I appreciate and love them, and that is one of the best ways of doing it."

Edward's hand continued it's lazy tracing of Angel's back, moving between her shoulders and her buttocks. He used the tips of his fingers only, and enjoyed the feel of Angel's hair on the back of his hand. He also listened to the soft tinkling of her bells as she moved from his touch. Her next reward, he thought to himself, will be to wear her other bells.

“It would be my pleasure if you would allow me to serve you some refreshments when you are ready Master?”

Edward noticed the slight twitch of her hand, as if she stopped herself from doing something.

"I would enjoy that, Angel. But you will have to bring enough food for yourself as well. I will not see you go hungry simply because you want to help me eat.

"Angel, was there something you were going to do just then? If so, what were you thinking of doing?"

 

[yeishia]

Angel listened carefully to what her Master was saying, she listened with intent to learn although some of what he was saying was as yet incomprehensible to her, he would teach her would he not? She can use her imagination to make things different enough to be novel... new... exciting,…. angel found herself wanting such imagination…

"And if what Tyron has informed me of is also correct, your old Master never brought you to orgasm Turning slightly pink angel lowered her eyes unused to such an imitate conversation with her Master, with anyone. How could he have known that?

His next words, I will discover how to make you reach your heights of pleasure. Because I like my women to know that I appreciate and love them and that is one of the best ways of doing it." made her positively squirm with embarrassment and confusion, giving her butterflies deep within her belly.

She could feel the lazy tracing of his fingers along her spine and the tickle left behind as her hair touched her own skin in the wake of his traveling fingers. These new almost subtle sensations were causing her to feel as if she were melting from the inside out.

Almost from afar she heard his next words. "Angel, was there something you were going to do just then? If so, what were you thinking of doing?"

Looking up at him not having time to pull her senses back together she answered truthfully and from her heart, “I wanted to reach out and touch your cheek, too feel your skin under my hands. I wanted to trace the plains of your face, I wanted to close my eyes and memorize it’s every contour just in case... you disappeared….”

Stuttering slightly in her confusion she stopped speaking, covered her face with her hands and stared at Him like a frightened child from behind their cover.....

 

[marauder13]

Angel seemed startled by the question Edward put to her. She took a moment or two to gather her thoughts before she responded.

“I wanted to reach out and touch your cheek, too feel your skin under my hands. I wanted to trace the plains of your face, I wanted to close my eyes and memorize it’s every contour just in case... you disappeared….”

He watched her as she buried her face behind her hands, peering between her fingers like a small child would if frightened. Edward almost laughed at her display, but he kept the smile. His free hand reached out, and gently lowered her hands from her face.

"I have no plans on disappearing, Angel. But the thought of you running you fingers over my face, to feel it and explore in has some very strong appeal. Particularly if it is something you really would like to do. When we sit down before eating, you may do that Angel. I would love to," he released her hands, and reached up to brush the side of her face with the tips of his fingers, "feel your touch, caressing my face." He let his fingers trail down her cheek, until they crossed her soft lips, brushing them delicately before breaking contact with her.

All the while, his other hand continued its movement upon her back.

 

[slippedhalo]

Cat felt herself purring as Aria caressed her breast. She felt a little sore deep inside after the events of the previous night, but she was a woman now and needed to act like one. "I'm OK" she replied, "just a little twinge down there" (she motioned towards her pussy area). Nothing a hot saline bath won't fix.

She pressed further to allow Aria greater access to her breast. "Seems I had a special birthday after all." She winked at Aria. Then spying the other new girls she just threw in "Seems I might have competition" she looked firmly at Aria hoping she might blush again.

Aria kissed Cat's erect nipple, tugging at it gently between her front teeth with a teasing expression in her emerald eyes before letting it go and kissing Cat on the mouth. She then whispered, "There is no competition in our Master's house, my Cat. There's me, and there's the rest of you girls. That's all. We don't rank each other." she lied convincingly. Then, she turned her attention back to the picnic and ensured the girls all knew their parts in preparations.

Once the food and drink were spread out the party became a little more informal and the girls were allowed to mingle a little more. Aria made it her business to address Amber first, "Amber. I have to admit I was pleased to see you return." she said in a falsely cheerful tone, hugging the other redhead and then speeding off to address Jordan before Amber could even reply.

"Jordan, is it?" Aria asked as she touched the girl's shoulder and the young beauty turned to look at her. "We barely got a chance to meet this morning. But, I will have you know I am the head slave in this house. You will address me as Mistress Aria. Have you any questions or concerns regarding our living arrangement and how this life applies to you?"

She watched out of the corner of her eye, it appeared Edward was watching her again and she smiled her friendliest smile to him over Jordan's shoulder, thinking, Shit...he did see my face earlier.

 

[yeishia]

His free hand reached out, and gently lowered her hands from her face. Angel read amusement in his eyes and was reassured "I have no plans on disappearing, Angel caused her to begin to smile and by the time he had finished His sentence promising to allow her to touch His face, you may do that Angel. I would love to,” her whole face had lit up , and it was as if the a sun godess had emerged from behind the clouds........

He reached up and Angel could feel the glide of His fingertips along the side of her face, “feel your touch, caressing my face." feel His touch caressing her face; until they passed across her soft lips where she briefly stole a soft kiss barely felt, freely given.

Part of angel wanted to break contact and run off to fetch His food... most of her wanted to stay within the circle of his arms enjoying the play of His fingers along her spine.

Angel didn’t feel quite like the woman he so craved but she did feel like a beloved pet safe and secure…..

For an instant she rested her head on His shoulder and whispered , “Thank you my Master”

 

[marauder13]

With the food being laid out, and the guests were invited to dine, Edward had Angel go and get food for them both, while he permitted Celeste to get food for herself. He watched Celeste move slowly through the other people at the picnic getting her food and water, then walking back quickly to join Edward. Angel returned with a plate loaded with food for them both.

"Angel, feed yourself a little first," Edward said as he watched Aria moving around, talking to some of Johnathon's other girls. He watched her talk to the redhead... Amber, then before the other girl could say a word, Aria was off to speak to the new girl, Jordan. Her behaviour was definitely out of the ordinary. What he remembered of her, she was rattled by something. And when she was talking to the newcomer, she looked back at him, and gave him a smile he knew was a cover.

He turned his attention back to Angel, and the food she was presenting him. He enjoyed the various means she gave the food to him. He suspected that she tried a few different things that she hadn't tried before. Edward managed to surprise Angel by giving her a grape when they kissed.

After he had been fed enough to sate his hunger, Edward stood up. "Angel, please remain here with Celeste, and feel free to socialize with the other girls. There is something I need to attend too." He wandered over to where Aria was eating, still looking out of sorts. He knelt down beside where she was sitting.

"Aria, may I have a word with you? In private?"

 

[slippedhalo]

"Aria, may I have a word with you? In private?"

The voice behind her caught her by surprise and Aria startled. She looked over her shoulder to see Edward kneeling nearly at her side. Her gaze went to where Jonathon was being fed by Cat and Jordan. Amber was meeting Edward's girls who were being introduced to her by Pearl. They all seemed well occupied. Aria turned back to Edward and nodded, "Yes, of course you may...I mustn't go too far, though...In case I am needed." she said, rising with a hand up from him and letting him lead off to the nearby stables.

 

[marauder13]

Edward was slightly surprised that Aria jumped a little when she spoke to her. She looked around briefly, before responding to him, "Yes, of course you may...I mustn't go too far, though...In case I am needed." He stood, and extended a hand to her, helping her to stand. Even flustered, she still held her grace.

Edward kept Aria's hand in his as they wandered off towards the stable. He didn't expect her to keep her hand there, and he was pleased that she did. Edward looked back to see what his girls were doing, and noticed Pearl looking in their direction, but took no further notice of her, not seeing the narrowing of Pearl's eyes as the couple left her sight.

They arrived in the coolness of stables, with the distinctive odours of hay, horse and leather. Edward maneuvered Aria against one of the walls, and stood a few paces away from her. Aria held her face down slightly, some of her rich auburn locks obscuring her face.

"I hope my arrival on the island hasn't caused this reaction in you? I haven't seen you this off your game in years." Without thinking, Edward stepped closer and brushed some of the hair from her face. "What's wrong?"

 

[slippedhalo]

Aria was uncomfortable with this whole scenario...His hand against her skin felt too familiar. She hadn't even realized she had let him hold her hand on the way there until they had already arrived to the seclusion of the stables and he'd dropped it. Everything about him was too comfortable and too familiar and given her recent inner uproar she thought it was the last thing she needed. So, when he moved to brush a strand of hair from her face and she felt the urge well up inside to lean her face on that hand she fought it by slapping the hand away and murmuring, "Eddie, don't do that."

 

[marauder13]

Aria's hand slapped his hand away from her face. "Eddie, don't do that." His eyes narrowed momentarily at the act of defiance, more so from the use of that name. A name that only one other person had ever been able to say to him.

"Why not Mary-Alice? You can't accept my help anymore?" He cupped her chin and lifted her face so she would look at him. "Or can't you stand my touch anymore?"

 

[slippedhalo]

Aria's hand slapped his hand away from her face. "Eddie, don't do that." His eyes narrowed momentarily at the act of defiance, more so from the use of that name. A name that only one other person had ever been able to say to him.

"Why not Mary-Alice? You can't accept my help anymore?" He cupped her chin and lifted her face so she would look at him. "Or can't you stand my touch anymore?"

Her eyes widened and she moved to squirm away from his grasp, "That's not my name anymore...and...I don't belong to you anymore either...Sir."

Her eyes flared as she spat out the term of respect, cutting off her familiarity with Edward as best she could manage. Walking a few paces away, she faced the opposite wall as she added, "...I...just find things a little...daunting around here lately. So many changes so quickly..."

 

[marauder13]

Aria moved herself away from his hand, putting more distance between them. "That's not my name anymore...and...I don't belong to you anymore either...Sir."

"If that is the case, Aria, then why did you address me by that name? If Mary-Alice is not your name anymore, then you had best address me by my proper name," he snapped back. "You are correct, Aria, you don't belong to me anymore. That's my loss and Johnathon's gain."

"...I...just find things a little...daunting around here lately. So many changes so quickly..."

"You? Finding something daunting? I've seen you at the picnic. You're not daunted. Right here and now, I can feel it. I know what's wrong, Aria. This is the same feeling you had about six years ago, isn't it? You've got doubts about Johnathon."
