Dominance

Celeste climbed off His lap and sat next to his feet. Watching Angel she didn't know what she should do. She reached out and brushed her fingers against the back of her hand. She had not meant to hurt her and she was so sorry. She placed her hands in her lap and stared back at her hands. She would not do that again; no matter how mad anyone got with her. This girl was to be a friend and sister through this. She would not hurt her again.

a little time warp....

[OOC: this is quick settling up before the game that Halo has initiated for Johnathon and Edward.]

"Angel, sit up and look at me." He wait for his command to be complied with. "Angel, you will do as I tell you. When this game has been completed, I will instruct you on your duties properly. I have been deeply saddened by how you have responded so far, Angel. I had higher expectations of you. Celeste, a woman new to this lifestyle, is more advanced in it that you are right now.

"These are your instructions, Angel. You will remain at the right hand side of Celeste at all times during this game, unless I explicitly tell you otherwise. You will answer any questions put to you by anyone who asks you a question.

"Do you understand me, Angel?"

 

[yeishia]

"Yes Sir! angel whispered..

She had failed her Master.

What was golf she woundered?

 

[marauder13]

slipping back into the proper timeline...

Edward noticed that Angel was starting to get sunburned, as was Celeste. Edward walked over to the golf bag, removing a tube of sunscreen. He slowly, and sensually applied the cream to the exposed areas of Angel, then on Celeste.

Johnathon and his family arrived as Edward finished protecting his women from the sun. He smiled when Johnathon approached.

"Are you ready for your defeat, Old Boy? I have brought my part of the wager, it is sitting in the case over there, so it doesn't get damaged at all. Though, you wont get to enjoy it this day. I am feeling full of good fortune today, now that my two lucky charms have shown up."

 

[yeishia]

Unused to being outdoors at all angel, was starting to very get pink. Protecting his property her Master applied sunscreen. As he applied the cream to her body angel was determined not to react to the sensuous motion of his fingers, instead she concentrated on Johnathon.

Protective of her own Master, she thought he was both arrogant and cold, and hoped that she would never have to pleasure Him.

 

[princesssuzanne]

Celeste stared at her hands as He applied sunscreen to her almost red skin. She didn't want to show a reaction and tried her hardest not too. She was stronger than that. She continued to stare at her hands. "When was the game going to being?" she thought to herself.

Aria felt Pearl's presence beside her, knowing her lover was pressing against her with need for a reason. It was a silent message, Pearl was worried about being forgotten in the shuffle. Aria squeezed her hand gently and looked to her with a soft smile, just for a moment, just enough to remind her, Don't worry, my Pearl. You'll always be mine.

 

[YoungLisa]

Cat, was not only surprised by Amber's swift departure, she felt it had 'pissed on her bonfire' to use one of her native British expressions. What would she do now? She was convinced Aria saw Amber as a threat and was hoping to exploit it.

Then she heard those eight words:

Don't worry, my Pearl. You'll always be mine.

Her eyes lit up, it was true, Aria did 'bat for both teams'.

"Patience Meleena" she thought to herself. "Play along, let them call you 'Cat' if they want to. You'll have the last laugh girl."

 

[chronicle_tenko]

The first hole went well enough, Edwards longer drive, putting him on the green in less strokes, and Johnathon's superb control and putting keeping them even. Par each. "Oh don't worry I brought my share of the wager as well, and I'm looking forward to owning it myself, so I'm glad it's on the island."

Johnathon stopped Edward from his drive on the second hole. "But about our other arrangement, I can clearly see the reason now why you came to me. beautiful yes but control is a little lacking and you do need a good house mother, for a brief time until you can find yourself your own matron I think that you could use Pearl to keep your house in order." The words were said clearly, and loud enough that all could hear the intention, he knew it would be unpopular but it was in the open now, he was planning on sending Pearl to Edward to keep his house in Line. He had of course wanted to talk to the woman about it, offering her a position, but in the same light, he did not want to offer her freedom yet. She was still his.

Aria felt Pearl tense at her side. She only turned her head slightly as she whispered, "Nothing's been decided yet, precious...and if it happens it will only be for a short time, I'm sure. Master Jonathan loves you as much as I do." she almost cooed, "Pearl, baby don't cry. Be strong for your Mistress."

[yeishia]

Angel listened half heartedly to the conversation between Master Edward and Master Jonathon, for she was finding that golf was proving to be dreary and boring, until…

“beautiful yes but control is a little lacking’”

Was he talking about her?

angel knew in her heart that he was correct. Since coming here she had found that the more laise-faire environment, frightened and confused her.

In all the years with Cerdic, she had never once, no matter what the circumstance, she lost control.

She glanced at Pearl, who was gazing ominously at her and celeste, clearly unhappy at the turn of events.

“for a brief time until you can find yourself your own matron I think that you could use Pearl to keep your house in order."

House in order?.... angel would welcome that. Pearl would replace Cedric; there would be order in her life again.

Angel decided that she would resume the daily mental exercises she had neglected since Cedric’s death, she would clear her mind, keep her focus, squash down her fears and keep an emotional distance form this new life, and the potential heartbreak that seemed linked to it.

She would fail no more! then maybe her new Master would be proud of her.

Satisfied at the turn of events, angel relaxed, pretending to watch their game, her tired mind a million miles away........

 

[slippedhalo]

Mistress Aria rubbed her hand slowly along Cat's back as they feigned interest in the golf game. She murmured to the girl, "Someday you'll see how discipline and self control are true gifts once we learn to use them. See how Pearl is now the essence of calm on the outside, and faithfully accepting whatever her fate may be despite her wish to remain in our house? She understands that her duty comes above all else, especially above her own wants and desires...and someday this ability to postpone gratification will help her succeed in any other area of her life she decides to use it in, be it business, finances, romance, work relations, study...Cat, the thing you need to learn is the thing Pearl understands quite well. It would behoove you to pay attention to a slave such as her. You could learn a great deal from her selfless example."

 

[princesssuzanne]

"But about our other arrangement, I can clearly see the reason now why you came to me. beautiful yes but control is a little lacking and you do need a good house mother, for a brief time until you can find yourself your own matron I think that you could use Pearl to keep your house in order."

Celeste looked up and stared at the men. "They are bringing someone in to boss us around" she thought to herself "I thought that is what the Master was going to do." She then noticed the one of the women staring at them as if they were dogs. She did not like her and would stay as far away from her as possible. She did not want some other woman bossing her around; she had enough of that crap with her mother.

Celeste began to hang back from the group going slower than they were at each hole. She did not want to hear anymore from them. She was not liking this arrangement.

 

[yeishia]

Damned if you do and damned if you don't...

Celeste began to hang back from the group going slower than they were at each hole.

angel was automatically keeping pace to Celeste's right, as she had been instructed by her Master.

Locked inside her own mind she failed to notice that they were lagging behind....

 

[marauder13]

The next three holes were par for both of them, but the fifth hole Johnathon managed an eagle to Edward's birdie.

As they moved to the sixth tee, Edward continued the earlier discussion.

"Thank you for your offer of Pearl to act as an interim House Mother. I shall only keep her for the absolute minimum time necessary, as I would like to keep the disturbance to your family to a minimum. I doubt that I need to explain to you that I shall care for her as if one of my own while she resides with my family.

"Since you are making such a generous offer, is there anything I should be aware of? Are there any limitations that have been placed on her that I should enforce during her stay with us?"

Edward's tee shot was almost perfect, he hadn't compensated enough for the breeze.

"By the way, old boy, I managed to find a bottle of the Cognac that you savour so much. Pity that you will have to wait a little longer before you can enjoy it."

 

[YoungLisa]

Mistress Aria rubbed her hand slowly along Cat's back as they feigned interest in the golf game. She murmured to the girl, "Someday you'll see how discipline and self control are true gifts once we learn to use them. See how Pearl is now the essence of calm on the outside, and faithfully accepting whatever her fate may be despite her wish to remain in our house? She understands that her duty comes above all else, especially above her own wants and desires...and someday this ability to postpone gratification will help her succeed in any other area of her life she decides to use it in, be it business, finances, romance, work relations, study...Cat, the thing you need to learn is the thing Pearl understands quite well. It would behoove you to pay attention to a slave such as her. You could learn a great deal from her selfless example."

If Cat wasn't gaged she would have purred. She looked at Aria and listened to her words re Pearl. She tried to signal with her eyes that she understood. Maybe Pearl going would leave a vacum in Aria's life.

She didn't understand why or how two women would want each other but she knew it happened a lot in the institution. Cat remembered her father's words about French food "Don't knock it until you have tried it". Maybe this applied to Aria.

Cat smiled with her eyes and followed the golf players ensuring Edward always had the right iron. But she also kept her eye on Aria ensuring she knew she was being watched and admired. "Who knows where this might lead?" She thought to herself. "The ends could well justify the means."

 

[princesssuzanne]

Celeste watched the group of people in front of her as she slowed down. She was aware of Angel beside her, so she didn't fall too far behind. She just wanted peace and quiet. There were too many people and she didn't like some of them. She just wanted to go back to the house and be by herself. Oh how she wanted to be by herself.

 

[slippedhalo]

Aria wasn't sure but she thought she felt a subtle shift in Cat's posture, the girl was leaning more toward her touch now instead of cringing or trying to avoid it. And, the expression on her pretty, gagged face told her something, Cat was perhaps finding a place here after all. The look of admiration on her face as she watched Aria was heartwarming to her. Aria smoothed Cat's hair and smiled at her, kissing her cheek lightly she whispered into her ear, "Perhaps we can get Master to let your gag out a little early. After the game is finished I shall ask him."

 

[chronicle_tenko]

Edward's question posed an interesting thought to Johnathon. yes he did have some restrictions. his contracts and Edwards were mostly the same with a few noted exceptions. One of course being that all sexual contact on Johnathon's property was and must be consensual.

"She is not to be used by you or any member of your house or staff, unless she allows it. It is her ability to decline just like any of my house has. There is no Rape here." Johnathon's hands shook just slightly as he spoke and he badly flubbed his next drive, falling almost 50 yards short of where he should be lying. "And she has earned a wardrobe it is hers personally and her property, she is to e allowed to keep it though if you require her naked she understands how clothing is a privilege, and finally she is to stay my property for this time at your home, while she may wear your ring if she chooses she is still under my employ."

Johnathon finished that hole with a bogey destroying his lead as they reached the seventh green, a particular twisted Dog Leg. "As for the Cognac I brought the snifters, Personal goblets of Napoleon's generals. However you'll have to wait before you get to use them, since I intend on winning this round."

Aria's words to Cat tickled his attention. He never ended such a training early, no matter how much they tried to trick him, though perhaps he'd allow her to eat. It was only fair after all.

 

[marauder13]

Edward listened to the restrictions Johnathon had concerning his family.

"She is not to be used by you or any member of your house or staff, unless she allows it. It is her ability to decline just like any of my house has. There is no Rape here."

Edward gave Johnathon a look bordering on being insulted. "Johnathon, I have lived by a similar rule for the past ten years now. Even if I didn't, I would respect it since Pearl is a member of your family. I am also aware that she will remain a member of your family for the duration of her stay at my house.

"As for her wardrobe, there may be need to negotiate certain elements of it, but on general principle, that is not an issue."

By the time the two had reached the 13th hole, they had each taken the lead, lost it and had drawn even again.

"I think that case I have will be remaining safely locked, Old Boy. I think you're getting just a little too cocky, even for you. If I do manage to win, I think my two lucky charms will have a sip by way of thanks."

Was it working? Cat looked at Aria and tried to smile with her eyes and as she played with her hair she made an effort to respond with her head.

But why did she find her kiss so gentle? Why did she feel just a little excited?

 

[slippedhalo]

Aria continued to caress Cat, enjoying the feel of a new body to explore. Seeing that despite herself, the girl was responding. She would be very fun in the bedroom once she was trained well.
