Learning the Ropes (closed for Marauder13)

[LadyCara]

Jess sat on the floor flipping through the paper, her eyes scanning the jobs pages, most of which were for cleaners or jobs so above her experience that she knew she’d stand no chance.

Here she was, 26 years old, an out of work pa, secretary or whatever label you wanted to put on it, general dogsbody. She’d worked for the same company for six years, only for it to close in the recession and now she was one of many chasing jobs that never materialised.

Jess had watched her savings dwindle and the only reason she hadn’t gone home to live was Jackie had taken her in, something which she was beginning to feel more and more guilty about as the rent and keep she paid her was also getting smaller each time. Jackie said she didn’t mind, especially as she had ‘other income’ and didn’t need it, but all the same, Jess was used to paying her way in life.

Jess and Jackie had spent several evenings discussing Jackie’s other ‘income’. Her master worked away a lot so she mainly saw him at the weekends or when he had time off. Jackie never told Jess who it was, leaving her to surmise it was someone high profile who would be embarrassed if his sexual tendencies were known, hence why, when he wasn’t in town Jackie was allowed to stay in her own place, paid for by him. It wasn’t a grand apartment, but it was comfortable, boasting three bedrooms, a comfortable living room and a kitchen big enough to swing a cat in.

The discussions always left Jess feeling sexually excited, especially when Jackie described the bondage and the pleasure/pain aspect or they looked at pictures on the internet of women tied up, nipple clamped, gagged or with various gadgets being used on them. But Jackie never touched Jess. It was one of the no-nos decreed by her master. Jackie explained that the only reason Jess had been allowed to stay was after he’d set out several conditions and ‘showing Jess the ropes’ was off limits. And so Jess wondered what it would be like to have that kind of sex and what it would be like to have a Master remove the worries of the world away from her.

Throwing the paper away in frustration, Jess sat there in the darkness, the darkness suiting her mood as she contemplated thoughts of her lack of future.

As Jess sat there, she heard a key turning in the lock.

“What are you doing in the dark?” Jackie asked flicking the light switch on, ‘causing Jess to shade her eyes as the glare stabbed at them.

“Thinking.” Jess replied, her voice devoid of emotion.

“Well if it’s your usual funk about life, then I may have a solution for you.”

Jess looked up, hope in her eyes that Jackie may have found or heard of a job for her.

“My Master has an acquaintance who is looking for a live in sub. You always said you wanted to know what it was like and this way you can find out.”

This wasn’t what Jess had been expecting and it took her a moment to adjust her thoughts.

“It would be perfect for you.” Jackie continued “You wouldn’t have to worry about money any more and you’d be looked after.”

“But I don’t want to be looked after.” Jess snapped

“You could give it a try, you never know, you may like being a kept woman.” Jackie responded. “If you don’t like it, then you get out. No Master worth his salt keeps an unwilling sub and my Master wouldn’t associate with any bad Dom’s.”

“No. I’ll find a job, I don’t want to be a slave. Goodnight.” And Jess stormed off the her room.

As she lay in bed, Jess thought the matter over. ‘Not to have to worry about money’, “is the sex really as good as Jackie makes out?’. It was the latter thought that kept coming back to her more than the former. Jess tossed and turned in bed working out the pro’s and con’s, but what she kept coming back to was that it was worth a try under her present circumstances. Maybe she could stick with it until the job market was better, would it really be so bad to be at someone’s beck and call?

In the morning Jess made her way to Jackie’s room.

“When’s the interview?” she asked.

Jackie smiled.

 

[marauder13]

Steven Callum was reading the paper at one of the tables of the Elephant and Wheelbarrow pub as he waited for his 2 o'clock 'lunch' date to arrive. He chose that time because he knew that there wouldn't be very many people in there, if at all, which would make Jessica's task a lot easier.

He chose the pub because it had the old English pub feel to it, right down to a complete staff of expat Englishmen and women complimented by backpackers. All the food and beverages were English fare, much to the amusement of the locals. Nothing more fun than seeing someone ordering a 'Spotted Dick'.

Steven's previous submissive, Julia, had departed fours months prior to take up a once in a lifetime opportunity for her career that would make it possible for her to go just about anywhere afterwards. Unfortunately, the job took her to the other side of the country, and Steven was not going to move. He knew how important it was for her, so, with her best long term interests in mind, he released her so she could pursue that opportunity. Julia remained in touch, and he was extremely pleased to hear she was doing well, and the work was well within her capabilities. Of course, they missed each other, but the tyranny of distance meant they couldn't maintain their previous relationship.

To say he was surprised when Royce contacted him with a lead on a fresh submissive would be an understatement. Steven had not done well without that companionship, and his friends, Dominants and submissives alike, had been keeping their eyes and ears open for him. Steven had no idea they were doing that for him, and he was slightly shocked that they had. It was Royce's own submissive that discovered the woman in question, and had started making the arrangements to have the two meet.

Regardless of the outcome, he was feeling much better. He had taken the time to properly groom himself in readiness, and he was once more in the proper mindset for when Jessica turned up. In addition to the time and place, he had made one other stipulation on the meeting.

"Make sure Jessica is wearing a dark skirt, white blouse and a coloured, light scarf."

Royce had given his permission for Steven to contact Jackie directly for the purpose of making meeting arrangements with Jessica, until they felt confident enough to exchange direct contact details. It had been many years since he had dealt with someone completely new, so he had to remind himself of the procedures of making contact with them, rather than how he would if they were already in the scene.

He wasn't too concerned about how Jessica would look like, but he did wonder how she would react to seeing him. He was tall, well built from exercising enough to keep himself fit. His black hair was touched at the temple with gray, framing a lightly tanned, clean shaven face. Bright blue eyes surveyed the room between reading articles in the paper. He was dressed in a conservative cut suit that complimented his build while telling those with enough knowledge of fashion that he was someone with a substantial degree of wealth.

A couple of minutes before two, he closed the paper, folding it up and placing it on the table. He looked up at the front door of the pub to see a woman walk in. Steven smiled warmly as he waited for his interviewee to join him.

 

[LadyCara]

All the way to the pub Jess's stomach was doing somersaults as she sat in Jackie's car whilst Jackie wove expertly through the traffic. Several times she nearly asked her to turn around, but managed to keep her lips closed.

During the journey thoughts of her future flitted through her head. Would he be a good Master? Would she really like the lifestyle, after all, she had never put herself in another person's hands before? The thoughts both excited her and scared her, she just hoped that she would like what was ahead, that is, if she was accepted.

As instructed Jess wore a dark skirt, it's length being half way between her knee and the top of her leg, her blouse tucked into her waistband and the light blue silk scarf tied loosely around her neck. She wore no stockings and her shoes were sandals with inch high heels. In her hand she held a purse, containing the front door key, a mobile phone, a handkerchief and a debit card. Her underwear was plain and skin coloured.

Jess would never make a catwalk model, she was good looking, but she was no size 0, instead she had curves in all the right places. One of her previous boyfriends had teased her, calling her 'Jessica Rabbit' after the cartoon character in 'Who Killed Roger Rabbit?'. At first it she'd found it funny and even flattering, right up until the carrot jokes started. The boyfriend didn't last long after that.

“Call me if you need a lift afterwards.” Jackie told Jess as Jess got out of the car and then revving the engine, Jackie sped off down the road.

At the entrance Jess took a deep breath, hoping she looked okay. Her brunette hair was in a loose ponytail, held by a clip rather than a band, keeping her hair in place as it fell down her back to just below her shoulders.

“You can do this.” she told herself. ‘sex and money’(or rather lack of)’ whispered inside of her head before she pushed the thought away.

Pushing open the door, Jess entered her eyes scanning the room looking for a man that matched Jackie’s description. Jess saw a suave gentleman smiling at her and hoped she guessed right, that this was the the person she was supposed to meet and she wasn’t about to make a complete fool of herself.

Trying to hide her nervousness she made her way over to him.

“Hello,erm, Sir.” she mentally kicked herself for not asking Jackie, what was she supposed to call him, ‘Master’, ‘Sir’. All Jackie had said was that his name was Simon and that he would let her know his surname all in good time. Jess assumed it was to preserve’s Steven’s anonymity if they didn’t get on. Was she supposed to hold her hand out to shake? Or was she supposed to leave it to him to make any physical contact. Suddenly, Jess felt very unprepared.

Jess gave him a sheepish smile, hoping he would forgive any gaff.

 

[marauder13]

Just like everyone else on Earth, Steven was prone to the first impressions syndrome. When he saw Jessica enter the pub, he was already forming up his opinion of her based on how she interpreted his instructions. Her outfit was nicely conservative, while managing to display what appeared to be her strongest features. Her legs were quite nice to look at, and her figure was nicely shown off by the choice of skirt and top. Her hair was held by in a stylish pony tail and her choice of foot wear was good as well. Just enough elevation to give her calves definition without being obscenely high and risking her health.

She also kept the amount of accessories to a minimum which was also something that appealed to him.

There was the hesitation at the door while she looked for him, then the cautious approach. He could tell she was nervous, which of course was natural for a woman who was new to the culture approaching a man she was contemplating handing herself over to. She reached the edge of the table, and faltered slightly.

“Hello,erm, Sir.”

He smiled warmly to her, standing up and walking around to the other side of the table.

"Hello, Jessica, I'm Steven. Jackie was kind to organise for us to meet today. Please, have a seat." He pulled out the chair, helping Jessica sit down before resuming his seat.

"Thank you for coming along. I am aware that you may be feeling quite nervous. It is natural for someone who is completely new to feel this way. But, please, try and relax. There is no formal interview, no right or wrong answers, only truthful ones."

Steven politely raised his hand, and one of the staff came over. "Could we get a jug of water and two glasses please, for starters." The staff member went off, and quickly returned with the water, pouring it into the glasses for them and departing.

"Rather nice of him, wasn't it." Steven took a sip from his glass. "Now, Jessica, I believe that you are a good friend of Jackie, and it is from her that you have gained an interest in seeing what the lifestyle is like. I assume that she has explained the subject thoroughly to you?

"To give you an idea of why I am here. My previous submissive received a golden career opportunity that was too good to pass up. Unfortunately, it required her to move out of state. I had no inclination to relocate, and since it was in her best interests to take up the role, I released her from her service. We are still in touch, and she is doing wonderfully in the job, and it is everything she hoped for. While I was sad to let her go, I was happy for what she was achieving in that move.

"But I found myself somewhat lonely, and my life was missing an important element, namely a submissive. So far, I have yet to find that right person, one who clicks for me. Which is why we are here. To see if there is anything that clicks between us."

He gave her a few moments to let his words settle, and hopefully calm her down. He was a little nervous too, as it had been while since he last took one a raw submissive, but after the initial contact, they were just the same as the rest. There was the time where they adjusted to each other, then slowly discovered what worked for them as a couple and moved towards growing and exploring.

"If you don't mind too much, I have a few questions I'd like to start with. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.

"What is it about being a submissive that is attractive to you? It is not the easiest of practices and there are elements that are scary, painful and even dangerous. What tipped you into taking this step in finding a Dominant?

"How do you think you will feel if I reject you as a submissive and sexual partner?

"Conversely, how do you think you would feel if I accepted you as a submissive and sexual partner?

"Now, as I said before, there is no right or wrong answer. Just answer them honestly, using your own words. Don't try and guess what you think I would like to hear. Plus, take your time."

 

[LadyCara]

“ I assume that she has explained the subject thoroughly to you? “

Jess nodded in response as she inwardly hoped that Jackie had remembered to mention everything, if not, then she’d cross that bridge when she got to it.

Jess was surprised that Steven was so open and gave her information regarding his former sub, which made feel more relaxed with him, though not totally pushing the nervousness away. He was coming across as straight forward and up front, of course it could all be a ruse, she mused, but until he showed her otherwise she allowed herself to be appreciative of the information he was giving and take him at his word. She was also surprised that he wasn’t coming across as domineering. Jackie had told her the sub/dom relationship was a mutual one which had surprised her, but having listened to him talk about his previous sub she was beginning to gain more insight.

"What is it about being a submissive that is attractive to you? It is not the easiest of practices and there are elements that are scary, painful and even dangerous. What tipped you into taking this step in finding a Dominant?

"How do you think you will feel if I reject you as a submissive and sexual partner?

"Conversely, how do you think you would feel if I accepted you as a submissive and sexual partner?

"Now, as I said before, there is no right or wrong answer. Just answer them honestly, using your own words. Don't try and guess what you think I would like to hear. Plus, take your time."

Jess took a moment to organise her thoughts, especially with regards to how much she should tell him. A smile touched the corners of her mouth as Jess remembered what her mother had always told her ‘honestly is the best policy’ and she couldn’t help but wonder what her mum would have thought of her daughter applying it to a meeting with a Dominant.
“It’s hard to really know where to start. All my life, well, since moving out of my parents, i’ve been in charge. Organising my life, doing everything that needed doing. Even as a p.a. for my boss I was always organising meetings and such like. Things have gone out of control lately. Where I worked closed down, jobs hard to come by, it’s just... “ Jess broke the sentence off, emotional pain crossing her face. She didn’t want to have to explain how hard it had been for her to lose her income, her flat, her car and had to be dependent on Jackie giving a roof over her house. Quickly pulling herself together she returned her gaze back to Simon. “It would be good not to have to worry, to let someone else have control.”

“Jackie told me that it could be scary and painful, but the pain made the sexual feelings so much more intense and satisfying. To know that’s out there, I want to explore, I want to know what that’s like. In a way, the pain makes it more desirable, I have no idea of my limits. I’m not sure why, but I want to be pushed to my limits. I also like the idea that i’m not just satisfying my need, but that another person finds me desirable, it turns them on watching me squirm beneath their touch.

“If you rejected me as a submissive and sexual partner then i’d probably go looking for another Dom. As I said, I want to explore what it’s like to feel pleasure and pain and one accentuating the other.

“If you did accept me, then i’d be over the moon, because i’d much rather have a Dom with good recommendations and one that I feel I could trust.” ‘Could trust’ being the operative words, Jess thought as she knew she probably wouldn’t trust him until after their first few sessions, to be able to trust someone on sight was a rarity these days.

Jess looked down at her glass and took a sip of her water wondering if maybe she’d said too much and he’d terminate the interview.

 

[marauder13]

Simon showed her his interest, to a level that was acceptable, while scrutinizing her as she responded to him. He was pleased to see her starting to relax, the initial nervousness dropping away enough to let her open up enough to make the process worthwhile for them both.

Outwardly, she was definitely someone that had physical appeal. She seemed to have a good height weight ratio, and she was nicely curved, and most importantly, Jessica was comfortable in herself. There were none of those subtle signs of trying to obscure her size, or artificially reduce it to make her appear to be something she felt was more appealing. Even discounting her nerves, she was passing enough of his internal checks to warrant at least another, less public meeting.

“It’s hard to really know where to start. All my life, well, since moving out of my parents, I’ve been in charge. Organising my life, doing everything that needed doing. Even as a p.a. for my boss I was always organising meetings and such like. Things have gone out of control lately. Where I worked closed down, jobs hard to come by, it’s just... It would be good not to have to worry, to let someone else have control.”

Steven caught the break in what she was saying, along with the pained expression. She was one who valued her ability to be independent, or at least one who could carry her own weight within the household. If she was acting, it was marvelously done. He disliked those who thought it would be some form of free ride, where he would be a 'sugar daddy' for the submissive. If she was being truthful in her portrayal, she was not looking to him for that kind of assistance, though that was going to be of benefit to her.

“Jackie told me that it could be scary and painful, but the pain made the sexual feelings so much more intense and satisfying. To know that’s out there, I want to explore, I want to know what that’s like. In a way, the pain makes it more desirable, I have no idea of my limits. I’m not sure why, but I want to be pushed to my limits. I also like the idea that I’m not just satisfying my need, but that another person finds me desirable, it turns them on watching me squirm beneath their touch.”

Again, he kept showing his interest, without it being too intense. She was definitely intriguing him in positive ways, and firing his curiosity about her a little more every time she spoke. Her voice was easy on his ears, one that he wouldn't mind listening to. It didn't jar, or irritate as some voices did, nor did she seem to have any vocal habits that could become annoying. A few more check boxes were ticked as she became more and more a likely prospect from his point of view. The question forming in his mind was how he was from hers.

“If you rejected me as a submissive and sexual partner then I’d probably go looking for another Dom. As I said, I want to explore what it’s like to feel pleasure and pain and one accentuating the other.

“If you did accept me, then I’d be over the moon, because I’d much rather have a Dom with good recommendations and one that I feel I could trust.”

The final part was flattery, pure and simple, but he had an ego like any other Dominant, and male, so he smiled broadly and warmly, nodding to Jessica for her compliment. But it was her willingness to take the blow on the chin that finally sealed it for him. Others, while voicing something similar, told a different story with their body language. They wanted to him, not a Dominant. Jessica wanted a Dominant, and he would be an added bonus.

"Thank you, Jessica. There is just one detail I would like to clarify, and then I'm happy to answer any questions you may have of me. You mentioned that you lost your job, and other jobs have been hard to come by. From that, I assume you are currently unemployed. If that is true, and we enter into a living arrangement, I would have you doing household duties as well as those other duties that will be part of core of our agreement. Until you found some employment that suited your skills and temperament.

"Now, do you have any questions you would like to ask of me? I believe it is only fair since I have been asking you questions that you are to be extended the same courtesy. Again, don't feel rushed, nor don't feel that you must ask any questions."

Steven relaxed into his chair, using the quiet time to think of the best venue for the next meeting with Jessica. He was also quickly working out what his 'budget' would be when he asked Royce to borrow Jackie for that meeting.

 

[LadyCara]

“Yes, I am currently unemployed so would be able to do household duties.” Jess hoped she wouldn’t find herself a glorified maid, come housekeeper. She also wondered how big his house was and if she’d end up on her knees scrubbing floors like Cinderella. She didn’t mind housework but if she found that became the focus of her life rather than the sex, then she knew she could always find a way of walking out.

Around them, Jess could hear everyone going about their business and the quirky side of her wondered what people would think if they overheard any of her and Steven’s conversation, but everyone was ignoring everyone else and so she felt free to talk.

"Now, do you have any questions you would like to ask of me? I believe it is only fair since I have been asking you questions that you are to be extended the same courtesy. Again, don't feel rushed, nor don't feel that you must ask any questions."

Steven surprised her when he asked, even though he’d been showing interest in her throughout the interview, she hadn’t been sure if it was her or her physical attributes. Of course she knew her physical attributes probably had a lot to do with it, but she was beginning to think, that maybe, he was seeing her as a person too. It was maybe this more than anything that gave her the courage to ask some questions.

“Would I be a sub 24/7?” she asked then realised she’d better clarify. “What I mean is, say we were in the kitchen could I talk to you about normal things, or would you expect me not to talk until I had your permission?

“Also, I normally visit my folks a couple of times a year, would that still be okay?

“And one last one. To relax I like going on a computer, YouTube, a news site, that kinda thing. Is that okay?”

Jess knew that this guy was going to take over her life if she let him, but she still felt a little uneasy about giving him total control. Is that what subs do? Go ‘here’s my life, take it over’.? She wondered. Jess knew it would be hard losing her independence, but reminding herself of the benefits helped whilst she waited for him to answer her questions.

 

[marauder13]

Steven was pleased with the way Jessica was answering the questions, and the truth she was showing. He had a feeling that she was not being totally honest, but it was within acceptable limits if she was holding back.

Then came her questions. He was pleased that she felt comfortable enough to ask some. He thought she might not have the courage to do so at that initial meeting, but this was a good sign that she was a good potential fit.

“Would I be a sub 24/7? What I mean is, say we were in the kitchen could I talk to you about normal things, or would you expect me not to talk until I had your permission?

“Also, I normally visit my folks a couple of times a year, would that still be okay?

“And one last one. To relax I like going on a computer, YouTube, a news site, that kinda thing. Is that okay?”

"In answer to your first question, yes, you will be a sub 24/7, seven days a week. Jackie is still a sub even when she is not living in the same residence as her Master, living under the rules they have agreed to. Now, as for the speaking with permission, that will be something that we will discuss when the time comes. But essentially, when you become my submissive, the 'rules' are always in effect, unless I explicitly tell you otherwise.

"Seeing family? Of course. You're not being held hostage, or imprisoned anywhere. I know that there will be emergencies, but in the norm, it will be planned out ahead of time.

"Finally, eventually, you would be able to use those kind of resources, but initially. no. Definitely not in the initial two weeks, which I will explain shortly, and after that, it will be dependent on how well you before certain duties."

He took a drink from his water, letting it seep into his mouth a little before swallowing.

"For me, the initial two weeks are a 'No penalty, No foul' period of the relationship. Either party can decide to pull out and that's it, all over. You can pack and depart without any hard feelings or recriminations. In that time, any glaring issues will arise and we can part easily.

"During this time, access to certain resources, like the internet, are not given due to the effort setting it up properly, plus the time you would have available to enjoy it. In those two weeks, you will be more tired than normal, and the need to relax wouldn't be there.

"After that time, if you desire to leave, then you need to come to me with good reasons. If they are good reasons, then you will be released. However, if they are excuses to get out of doing something that you don't like, or don't want to do, without a good reason, then you wont be released. There have been a few subs that have tried to get out when things got challenging for them rather than face those challenges. When they finally did, they thanked me for being stern. But, I can recognize valid reasons when presented to me.

"Also, some things are required for you to have, other things are privileges that can be earned through your behaviour and completion of tasks and assignments given to you. Those tasks and assignments will help to make you a better submissive, and the reward is an extra incentive to complete them."

Steven observed Jessica again, noting how she reacted to his answers to her questions. There were signs of uneasiness there, but again, that was totally natural for someone in her position and he was not going to hold that against her.

"I want you to know, Jessica, that so far I think you will be a fine submissive for me, even though you have no experience, and I suspect that you have the normal range of doubts and suspicions. But, before we progress any further, there will be one more meeting in a... well somewhat public place, but with a chaperone, one known to you. If that meeting goes well, and we both still feel comfortable with proceeding to becoming Dominant and submissive, at that stage we will arrange for you to move in.

"Any further questions before we have something to eat?"

 

[LadyCara]

As Steven answered her questions, Jessica could feel her heart speed up and her mind began to race, suddenly this was beginning to become all too real, this was it, no longer was it a thought, an idea, this could become her reality. Mixed feelings of doubt and happiness entered her mind. Happiness that she was being accepted and all that she'd heard about being a submissive could be her life and doubt that she could in effect become a slave to this man. Could she really give up so much? As the question entered her mind, she knew, beyond all doubt that, yes, she would try, at least for the two weeks and with the resolve she felt more comfortable with the idea.


As she listened to him, she took another sip of water.

there will be one more meeting in a... well somewhat public place, but with a chaperone, one known to you.

His words took her by surprise and the water suddenly hit te back of her throat and she began to cough.


"Sorry." she apologised when the coughing subsided.


"Can I ask what will happen in the public place?" she asked, turning slightly pale as thoughts of making an exhibition of herself or running naked through a park crossed her mind. The fact that she would have a chaperone somewhat molified her, Jessica wondered if the chaperone would be Jackie, as she was the only submissive that Jess knew well, though Jackie had introduced her to a couple of other submissives. She just hoped it wasn't Beccy. Jess looked at Steven, hoping it wasn't one question too far, as Jackie had informed her that Dom's rarely explain themselves.


After Steven had answered Jess knew she would have no further questions, her mind already full of information she knew she would have to process before their next meeting.

 

[marauder13]

Steven kept observing Jessica as he spoke, gauging her reactions to what he said. He had noted that there were some doubts, and some oddities over some things that he said, and he would come back to them a little later and seek some clarification before the meeting was over.

But his mentioning of the second meeting had her coughing after taking a sip of her water. He was openly concerned at her reaction, even though it was more due to time of the statement than anything else.

"Sorry. Can I ask what will happen in the public place?"

Steven looked a little embarrassed at his slight error in the choice of his words.

"Of course. By a public place, I meant that we would be going somewhere where there would be numerous people about. We would not be, in say a park, or a theatre, or a museum. Our next meeting would be at an event held by the local community. There will be people having public shows of various BDSM activities, and some rather sexual activities, while others will make themselves available to private rooms with the equipment therein to enjoy themselves.

"Now, the chaperone will be Jackie, which I am confident that I can negotiate with her Dominant to permit her to act in that manner for you. Theoretically, it is to safe guard you from myself, but more realistically it is to serve as a guide, mentor and a safety net against others.

"During that event, should you desire to engage in anything with anyone, Jackie will remain with you, and ensure that you are safe. You have the God given right to say No to everyone and anyone, and you can leave at anytime as well."

He gave her a quizzical look. "Did you wonder why this meeting was being held here? It was to help guard your safety. We are meeting in a public place, during daylight hours to maximize your safety. To demonstrate to you that I do have your best interests at heart. I am not going to steal you and lock you away somewhere against your will. I am wanting to be open with you, so you can trust me, as much as I will need to trust you.

"Now, I have one further question for you, but there is one thing I would like to clear up for you. A matter of terminology. In our community, there are submissives and there are slaves. In essence, a Submissive can say no to their dominant, master or mistress, where a slave can't. You will be my submissive. You will have the option of saying no, but I will exercise the right to have you explain why. When you live with me, we will negotiate work loads around the house. Since you will be living there, and not paying rent or board, I will expect you to do your share of the work about the house, like I will. I'm not going to be sitting back relaxing while you do everything, unless that is something that has appeal.

"Now, would I be correct in assuming that you have some reservations about the impact of loosing control over your life by the rules being imposed? That is part of being a submissive under the charge of a Dominant. But the rules are negotiated, and are put there for the submissive's long term benefit. Talk to Jackie about the concept. I'm sure that she will be able to help you a little there.

"Would you care for something to eat now?"

 

[LadyCara]

Jess was relieved that she wouldn't be expected to do anything in 'public' that she didn't want to do and found the tension leaving her as he explained his words to her. If anything, his explaination gave her goosebumps with excitement, afterall, didn't it mean that the sort of things she'd only been reading about, that her drawn her to being a sub, she would actually see for herself, with her own eyes? Also, having Jackie there meant that she would feel safe.

Theoretically, it is to safe guard you from myself

So you must like me and want to do 'wicked' things to me? Jess translated to herself, pleased that her future Master considered that he would need something to stop himself go to far. Though wasn't that what she wanted, to see how far she could be taken. Whatever his reasons, Jess found that she was trusting him as there was nothing coming across as sadistic or even psycho. He was pleaseant company, his voice easy on the ears as well as to look at, nothing to send alarm bells ringing. Jess found she liked Steven, he didn't set her heart fluttering, but neither did he send her running for the door, which was definietly a bonus. Would she still trust him when he was her Dominant, that, she'd find out, but hoped her first impression would stay true.


Jess also had no idea if during the event she'd be brave enough to try anything. She knew she had a good body, but with onlookers? Steven had mentioned private rooms, definietly a possibility especially as Steven was indicating that they would meet again there. The thought of her and Steven in a private room and what could happen there had her body reacting with a slight flush to her skin and she quickly pushed the thought away before her body betrayed her further into what such thoughts did to her.

would I be correct in assuming that you have some reservations about the impact of loosing control over your life by the rules being imposed?

"I'm not sure reservations is the right word. It's just i've been in control most of my life and it just feels odd to let someone take over. I suppose what i'm scared of is losing me, the person I am. Having talked to you, I know that is unlikely, may even add some more facets to me and who I am. Leading my life by someone elses rules is going to feel odd for me at first, but i'm sure i'll get used to it, after all, i'm sure couples must also go through a similar adjustment when they move in together or even marry." and marriage was just another form of a contract 'love, honour and obey/cherish'.


"I'm glad we're having the two week period to see how it goes." Jess smiled her thanks at him, "and as you said, if anything crops up after that, then i'll talk it through with you."


Jess was glad that he'd explained the difference between a sub and a slave as being a slave would have had her climbing the walls, whereas, at least she wasn't expected to do everything.


"Eat sounds good." she smiled at him, her eyes going over the menu. "The chicken pasta sounds good."

 

[marauder13]

Steven was sitting in his study, having a quiet drink before heading to bed. He was going over what happened during the the meeting with Jessica, and the meal they had afterward, reviewing his opinion of her as a prospective submissive.

Physically, there was nothing wrong with her at all. He wasn't too selective about a submissive's physical appearance, as long as she was healthy. It was more of how the woman saw herself in her body; how comfortable she was as she was. Jessica was someone who had no issues with how she looked, and came across as someone who was very comfortable with the body she had grown up with.

Her personality was the key for Steven, and hers was very good for what he looked for. She was intelligent, and had a mind of her own. There was a healthy amount of doubt and caution, but she was still willing to proceed and take the calculated risks involved. She knew enough to have an idea of what to expect, but then she was still a novice and quite open about it as well. He liked that she was polite, and by the time they got to eating, she was at ease enough around him to open up and relax.

"I wonder if she knew that the meal did more to tell me about her than the interview."

While they ate, they talked about little things. Current affairs, what kinds of businesses she worked for. He told her about his work as a consultant, working as a project manager for government departments and large corporations, mainly getting the projects planned out for an in house manager to take over while training them on better planning techniques. The conversation wandered, as they tend to do, covering topics of interest to them both. This allowed Steven to gather quite an insight into Jessica that left him feeling more pleased with her as a choice.

He stayed with her at the table, until her lift arrived to get her, and he left fifteen minutes after that. All in all, a very productive day for him.

He put his drink down, picked up the phone and called Royce.

"Hello, Royce. I need to negotiate some of Jackie's time to Chaperone Jessica."

~||~​

Jackie bounded through the door to her apartment three days after Jessica's meeting with Mr Callum. She had so wanted to grill Jess over it in the car on the way home, but she wanted to do that when they were not distracted by driving or other noises. But before she could do that, she had been given a task by her Master, and it was one that she was dearly looking forward to.

"Jess!" She closed the door behind her, and went looking for her house mate. She found her sitting in the lounge room, Jackie smiling at the thought of what was coming up. "There you are. Come on, we're going shopping, you and I. We need to get ourselves the right outfits for out night out with Mister Callum. He asked my Master, who gave his permission, to have me be your Chaperone on your first night out to an Event.

"But, from what I have heard of Mister Callum, I wont be keeping you safe from him. But, it's a kind of tradition, and I think he wants to do the right thing."

Jackie clapped her hands. "Come on. Let's get this all over and done with."

Jackie made sure that she parked somewhere that was not too close to the store she was heading for, as half the fun was getting Jessica in there in the first place. She had remained tight lipped on the way to the car, focused on driving and was dodging the questions as they made their way to the store.

Which is why Jackie suddenly hooked her arm in Jessica's and hauled her through the front door of the 'Bras and Things' store. The two of them came to a halt in the middle of the lingerie store, waiting for one of the staff members to come over.

"Can I help you at all?"

The woman was in her mid thirties, and projected an air of calm as she looked at Jackie and Jess.

"Yes," Jackie replied. "We both need matching sets of a bra, panties, suspenders, stockings and shoes with two inch heels. Mine in all black, my friend's in all white. Oh, and the panties. No thongs. Something that covers the rear nicely thanks."

 

[LadyCara]

Jess sat in front of the mirror, her brush running over her hair as she replayed the day in her head, or more precisely THE meeting.

She liked what she saw in Steven, easy on the eyes, a voice that didn’t grate and he seemed genuinely interested in her, not just as a future sub but also as a person. There had been nothing about him that had her running for the door or repulsing her in any way. Jess wasn’t stupid and knew that that could all change when they were totally alone together, but he came across as the sort of guy she’d be willing to give this a go with.

Before the meeting Jess hadn’t been sure what to expect, maybe a man with a brusque manner, or even one who would start giving her instructions, but after the interview she knew that he was a man who had good organisational skills and could compartmentalize, which was probably in some part due to his job as a project manager and that he had to juggle several different things at once. He was obviously good with people. but at the same time, Jess had no doubt that he often took the lead.

Jess had enjoyed talking to him, she wasn’t quite up with him with regards current affairs, but she knew enough to keep up with him and several times concurred with his viewpoint. She’d been surprised that he wanted to know about her job, but had found talking about it easier than she’d expected as he was familiar with company set ups.

All in all, Jess had come away from the initial meeting happier about her decision to go down the route of being a sub and that Steven would be ideal as a Master as he came across as a genuinely nice guy.

Later that evening, Jess repeated some of what had transpired between her and Steven, including the fact Jackie would be acting as chaperone. Jess had then tried to get some details from Jackie about ‘the event’, but Jackie told her that she would have to wait and see as she didn’t want to set any pre-conceived ideas in her head, which Jess found very frustrating, but there was nothing she could do more information out of her.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Three days later, Jackie had come in very excited and dragged Jess off to one of the more uptown lingerie stores and so the next step to becoming a sub got another step closer.

"We both need matching sets of a bra, panties, suspenders, stockings and shoes with two inch heels. Mine in all black, my friend's in all white. Oh, and the panties. No thongs. Something that covers the rear nicely thanks."

Jess wasn’t sure whether to laugh, look embarrassed or run for the exit, but with Jackie’s arm firmly linked in hers, there was no way she could escape, so Jess did what she always did in situations, which was go with the flow and joined in with Jackie choosing underwear and shoes that would literally send any male within 50 yards of them crazy.

“Jackie, any idea what i’m supposed to wear over the pretty underwear?” Jess asked as they exited the shop.

“If he wants anything in particular, he’ll let you know, or send it over.” Jackie told her , having mentally noted her friends measurements in the shop.

As the day of the next meeting grew nearer, Jess knew she should be scared or worried, instead she found herself looking forward to it with eager anticipation.

 

[marauder13]

The day of the event, a gentleman in a dark suit knocked on the door of the Jackie's apartment. Jackie, smiling the entire way to the door, opened it and greeted the man on the other side.

"Miss Jacqueline?"

"Yes."

"These are for you." He handed her two large boxes, nodded to her, and departed. She bumped the door closed and looked at the top box. There was a simple plain card that said "Jessica" on it.

"Jess! You've got a delivery." Jackie took them through to the dining table, placing them down carefully. She moved Jess' box out of the way, and saw the other box had a card on it with "Jackie" on it. "Oh, I wonder what's in it."

Jackie opened her box to find a black leather jacket, and a black silk collar with a metallic clip and a 'D' ring attached as well. She carefully picked up the collar, fitting it around her neck, and clicked it together. The fit was perfect; not to tight and not too loose. She could feel it against her neck but it was not constricting in anyway. She lifted out the jacket, noting that it was not too heavy. When she put it on, it came to just above her knees and made her look quite appealing when she looked in the mirror.

"Hey sweetie, come take a look at this. I'm sure my Master is going to love this when I turn up to see him next." She turned to look at Jess, striking a pose to best show off the effects of the jacket and collar. "I'm going to put safe money on the fact that you'll open yours to find white ones of both for you. I guess this answers the question of what we'll be wearing over those pretties we got."

~||~​

Steven got himself ready for the night's event. He showered, shaved carefully to make sure that his face was smooth and more importantly, not nicked at all. He dressed himself in the midnight black three piece suite, white, pleated shirt, black tie, socks and shoes. He combed his hair just right, and made sure that all his accessories were gathered in the one place while he settled himself into the proper mindset for the night.

"Tonight, I am introducing a novice, potential submissive to the local community, as well as letting her witness first hand what she can possibly experience herself. She will be in no danger from myself, she may wish to engage in any activities, but only with myself, and with Jackie present. She is under no obligations to do anything while there, and may request to leave at anytime, and we will depart."

He stood before the mirror, giving himself one final perusal before he went out to collect the two women he would be escorting to the event. Everything was perfect. There was no doubting that he was a dominant dressed as he was, even when he removed his jacket. He was a stern, commanding Dom, but one who cared for those under his care. But what separated him from most of his contemporaries was that he wanted his submissive to enjoy whatever he did with them, because that was where he got his joy. When they were having a great deal of fun, then he was guaranteed of a great time as well, which ultimately was what he was after.

He walked down to the Limousine that had only arrived two minutes before he got to the front door. He had with him a small velvet bag that contained the last of the essential accessories for the night, and those would only be needed once they arrived at their destination. The driver bowed to Steven as he opened the rear door. Steven thanked the man, sitting himself down.

Once the vehicle was in motion, Steven settled the initial bout of nerves that struck. It was expected, since he was going to meet with a prospective submissive for the first time in the community sense, as well as it being a raw novice. It only took a minute to bring the emotions under control and for him to reach that calm he needed for when they met. It seemed like another minute passed and the Limousine pulled up outside Jackie's apartment.

Steven got out, and made his way up to the door of the apartment where the two submissives lived. Rolling his shoulders a little, he knocked politely, taking a step back so he was not crowding the front door when it opened, and waited to see who opened the door for him, and how they looked for the night ahead.

 

[LadyCara]

Jess heard Jackie call from the other room, ‘Jess! You've got a delivery.’. Surprised, Jess left her room to find out what it could be as she hadn’t been expecting anything.

Jess entered the living area to find Jackie trying on a black jacket that came to just above her knees. Jess also noted the way it was feminine, accentuating the curves rather than hiding them. In fact Jackie looked sexy in it.

Eagerly, Jess moved over to her box and found that Jackie was correct, her was identical, though in white. Jess moved her hands over the jacket, loving the feel of the softness of the leather. Taking it out, she let her hand run over it, enjoying the simple yet elegant design, even the zip hidden from view so as to not spoil the effect.

Taking it out Jess slipped it on, surprised to find it was a perfect fit. It wasn’t hard to guess how her future Master had found out and she avoided giving Jackie a pointed look.

“Try on the collar.” Jackie demanded handing her a white silk one.

Taking it, Jess fingered the ‘D’ ring and a shiver of anticipation ran through her at the thought of what it could be used for. Her fingers shook slightly and she had trouble doing the clasp, but managed to do it up after several tries. Jess let her finger run over the collar. It felt strange and yet comforting at the same time, the material warming to her skin temperature, almost as though it became a part of of her, which in some ways it would, or at least part of her future.

“Hot.” Jackie complimented her.

It was with reluctance that Jess took off the jacket, so she could prepare for the evening.

Jackie took Jess to a beauty salon, where they both had ‘the works’, fuse of the steam room, bath, facials, nails, waxing and hair. When they came out Jess knew they both looked more stunning than usual. The only part that had marred was that Jackie had paid for it all, a fact that made Jess feel guilty, but Jackie had swept her protestations and thanks away telling her it would be worth it to see the look on Jess’s future Master’s face when he saw her.

Standing in front of the mirror in her white clothes, collar and high heels, Jess knew she had never looked so good. At the salon they’d put some makeup on her, but she was glad they hadn’t caked it on, just enough to highlight her features, but without going overboard.

Jackie had been looking out of the window when she saw the black limousine pull up.

“He’s here.” she yelled in Jess’s direction.

Giving herself a last once over, Jess moved quickly to the front door and was there just as Steven knocked.

The sound brought back her nerves. Would she enjoy this evening? Was she cut out to be a submissive? Did she really want this?

Taking a deep breath and wishing the butterflies in her stomach would go away, Jess plastered a smile on her face and opened the door to him.

“Hi.” she said, her voice sounding shy and then remembered her manners. “Would you like to come in for a drink or shall we go?” Jess didn’t really expect Steven to want a drink, but somehow him knocking and her going ‘we’re ready, lets go’ without at least giving him the option seemed wrong. Jess could almost feel Jackie rolling her eyes behind her at her words.

 

[marauder13]

When the door opened, the small doubts and nerves Steven had vanished with the vision that greeted him on the other side. Wearing the jacket he had purchased for her, she looked gorgeous. Her hair had been styled, and he detected fine work of an experience make up artist. His eyes flickered down, noticing her legs encased in white stockings ending in a stylish pair of white shoes that elevated her legs just enough to give them the definition he so admired.

“Hi. Would you like to come in for a drink or shall we go?”

She sounded so differently to when they last met, and he pointedly ignored Jacqueline's eye roll. He noticed that she was properly attired as well, but her air of confidence was evident from across the room.

"Good evening, Jessica. Jacqueline. I shall come in for a moment before we depart." He walked in with all the confidence that a Dominant possessed, which was not far from what he had normally as a part of his day to day activities. He came to a stop in the middle of the room, taking a good look at Jacki, who stood straighter under his scrutiny. She returned his broadening smile, and approached at his gentle beckoning.

"You are looking stunning, Jacqueline. Are you ready to fulfill the function as given by your Master for this evening?" He lifted her hand, kissing the backs of he fingers lightly.

"Yes, Sir. I have been instructed to obey your orders, as a visiting Dominant, while performing the duties of chaperone for Jessica."

"Good. That is exactly what he informed me he would be instructing you." Steven turned to look at Jessica, his smile warm and friendly. "Jessica, just to clarify a few important points. While we are there, you will be viewed as a submissive under my charge and protection. Therefore, within reason, you will be required to obey my commands when they are given. I will not be commanding you to take part in any activities, or to perform anything that you would not do in an open public place. If there is something that you would like to try, you can ask. If I believe it is safe enough for you to participate in, then I will allow it, and Jacqueline will accompany you to ensure your safety in the immediate vicinity.

"Now, at anytime, if you wish to depart, all you need do is ask, and we shall leave, returning you here. You will not suffer any negative fallout from that, though we will both talk to you about why you wanted to leave.

"Finally, the safety, and well being of the both of you is my paramount concern for tonight. If I have any doubts, I will remove you both and bring you back here. I am very confident that I will not have to do that, as those invited to these events are well versed in what is expected of them."

Steven indicated for Jacki to head towards the door. "If you have any further questions, please ask them in the limousine. The driver is separated from the rest of us, and wont be able to hear what we are saying unless the intercom is active."

Steven led the two women down to the waiting vehicle, where the driver waited at the door. He nodded politely to everyone as they entered. Steven waited and entered last, sitting opposite the lovelies he was taking.

As the Limo pulled out, Steven turned his attention to Jessica. "Do you have any questions at this time, Jessica?"

 

[LadyCara]

Jess could see that Steven was pleased with the way she looked from the way his eyes had travelled over her, even though he hadn’t commented anything to her, though he had told Jackie that she looked ‘stunning’. Was that because he was to become her dom and he would expect her to always look good, or would she be expected to know what he was thinking? Yet again, she was reminded of the minefield she was entering, but reminded herself everyone had to start somewhere.

The Steven who entered the room confused her. The man in the pub had been talkative, normal almost, yet the dom in front of her was commanding, expecting everything to be ordered. Jess wondered whether she would see both or if the more she saw of him the more she would see the dom rather than the man. Jess knew it wasn’t the kind of question she could ask, more the wait and see kind of thing. The thought of being commanded sent a butterfly flying through her, reminding her of why she was travelling this path, why she wanted this.

Jess watched as Steven moved over to Jackie and took her hand, kissing her fingers and as Jess watched she wondered what it would feel like to have his lips on her as he had been so delicate and gentle. A thought she quickly pushed away trying to keep her mind on the matter in hand and so listened to what he was saying to Jackie and then he turned to her.

within reason, you will be required to obey my commands when they are given. I will not be commanding you to take part in any activities, or to perform anything that you would not do in an open public place. If there is something that you would like to try, you can ask. If I believe it is safe enough for you to participate in, then I will allow it, and Jacqueline will accompany you to ensure your safety in the immediate vicinity.

Jess could feel her heartbeat quicken at the thought of obeying his commands, or of participation, the fact that Steven had told her she could only take part in ones he deemed safe had been reassuring, plus Jackie as her chaperone, all pointed to her being kept safe and not finding herself suddenly out of her depth. Jess couldn’t help feeling nervous, but she was thankful for the safety measures Steven had implemented.

Jess followed Jackie and Steven to the limousine. She briefly wondered if it was his or borrowed for the evening. Though she knew some things about him, she didn’t know if he lived in a house, a mansion or went around in chauffeur driven cars. One thing she did know, was that he was well off, or reasonably so, as their jackets had been good quality.

"Do you have any questions at this time, Jessica?"[?QUOTE]

Jess knew she should have had a thousand of them, but they’d all run away, leaving one.

“Whilst we’re there, what should I call you as I am to all intents and purposes your sub? Sir? Master?”

Jess could feel the car pull onto the main highway and guessed that the place they were going to was out of town, which made sense as having this kind of event wouldn’t be possible in a hotel that anyone could walk into and Jess had to suppress a smile as the image of a doddery old couple walking into a hotel foyer to find themselves surrounded by whips and leather entered her head. Also on the outside of town were the grandeur mansions, the ones that dated back to when horses were the norm for transport, so she wondered if maybe they were heading to one of those.

As they drove Jess wished she could see out and watch the passing scenery, but all she saw was the dark of night and car lights passing them by.

 

[marauder13]

Steven had to calm his heart a little at the knowledge that he was going to an event with arguably two of the more stunning women likely to arrive. Even if Jacqueline was spoken for, by the agreement reached between her Dominant and himself, he knew that he could be sexually active with her if he chose to. The option had been extended in the past, and had yet to be exercised. Jacqueline was interested in being 'under his lash' as she referred to it, but Steven never had an occasion where he was willing to see how she was.

Jessica, on the other hand, if she was to let him know in no uncertain terms she was willing to indulge in any sexual activities with him, he would not even let a negative response form in his mind. He was looking forward to seeing her removed the jacket like a teenager looking forward to seeing his first girlfriend's underwear. While his demeanor was calm and controlled, his eyes told a slightly different story. He checked Jacqueline occasionally during the drive, as well as the passing scenery, but the remainder of the time he was looking over Jessica, taking in every detail he could. It wasn't a cold blooded analysis either, he was looking at her as a man who was very interested in the woman he was looking at. There was a touch of lust in the gaze, but there was a protectiveness, possessiveness and concern as well.

“Whilst we’re there, what should I call you as I am to all intents and purposes your sub? Sir? Master?”

He looked Jessica in the eye, as if he was trying to pin her to the spot where she was sitting. He smiled warmly towards her.

"You will address me as Sir. Master is for a person in a different style of relationship to what we will have. But, as you learn more about this lifestyle and the options available, that may be something we may agree to in the future. But for now, Sir is the correct title. If you are addressed by any other male dominant, you will also address them as Sir, and any women as Ma'am. Fellow submissives will be introduced by a dominant, or by Jacqueline in her role as chaperone, and you will address them by the name given."

Steven remained quite for the remainder of the drive to the Waterforde estate, the hosts of the event for the night. They had converted one of the older secondary buildings into a place dedicated to the safe pursuit of their chosen style of relaxation and play. The limousine slowed down behind two other similar vehicles to pull into the estate. Two security guards checked the number plates of the cars, waving them through. All the vehicles drove up the main driveway toward the main manor house, but turned off to the left side of the building, circling around to the rear, and going further into the property before slowing outside their ultimate destination.

The first vehicle allowed a man dressed in all leather clothing to exit the limo, followed by a woman wearing a deep red, long coat that stopped at her ankles, showing that she was wearing leather boots that went up above her ankles. Her hair was a rich auburn colour that stopped half way down her back. As she followed, she kept her head down, as though she was looking at her feet.

The second vehicle let out a petite Asian woman in a black corset and tight knee length skirt with a split up to her hip. She wore knee high black leather boots with high heels. Her midnight hair was cut short, no lower than her shoulders. In one hand she held a riding crop, and her other hand held a chain wrapped around it. She impatiently waited for the massive African man to almost squeeze himself out of the back door. He wore only a loin cloth of pure white, which stood out brightly against his deeply dark skin. He towered over her, almost weight three times what she would have. He trunk like arms were behind his back and when they moved away from the car a little, they could see his arms were manacled together. With a hard strike from the crop, he dropped to his knees, and kissed her boot. She spoke to him, and he nodded, kissing her boot again. When he stood, he was clearly aroused as she led him inside.

"Looks like Jess isn't the only new one tonight."

"No, Jacqueline, it wouldn't appear that way. But it does remind me." He reached into his left hand jacket pocket, and pulled out a black handled leash. He leaned forward towards Jacki, who presented her neck for him. With a touch of formality and a great deal of care, Steven attached the leash to her collar. Jacki sat back, Steven seeing the lack of tension in her as she settled back into the seat.

"Thank you, Sir." Jacki almost purred.

Steven reached into his right hand jacket pocket, and pulled out a white handled leash that was the same as Jacki's, bar the colour. He leaned forward toward Jessica. When he attached the leash to her collar, he made absolutely certain he didn't make contact with her skin as he did.

"Neither of you will have to wear these all night, but initially, it will inform people who you are with, and who's permission they will need to seek before doing anything... beyond social norms."

Their limo pulled up, and the footman opened the door for them. Steven stepped out, pausing and waiting for the ladies to make their way out. As they did, he moved further away from the door as the leash's slack allowed. Once everyone was out, he thanked the footman, and walked into the building where the event was taking place.

Inside was a well appointed waiting area, where the previous two couples were standing. The auburn haired woman was removing her coat. Underneath she was wearing an emerald green corset that hugged her curves well, a similarly coloured thong. Suspenders hung down form the corset, holding up hose of a much lighter shade of green and they disappeared into tight boots that covered her calves halfway up her shins.

Steven turned to look at Jacki, and she was already untying her belt, and starting to open her jacket.

"Jessica, you will follow Jacqueline's lead, and remove your coat. You will not be needing it while we are inside."

 

[LadyCara]

Jessica found travelling in the car peaceful, none of them spoke much except the occasional comment from Jackie when they passed s person's house or a landmark that she thought Jess may be interested in.

‘Sir’, must remember to call him ‘Sir’, Jess repeated to herself after Steven had explained to her what she must call him and why. Jess wondered if she would ever learn all the different variations and their separate meanings, or if she would mess up and embarrass him? She really hoped not.

A couple of times during the journey Jess glanced quickly in Steven’s direction and saw the way he was eyeing her. She thought she detected a touch of lust in his gaze and something else she couldn’t quite fathom. Normally with such a look she’d be trying to distance herself from that person, but for some reason instead she found that she didn’t mind, liked it even. Was it because she was getting used to the idea of this man being her dom, or that she found she liked him? Afterall, he didn’t scare her though she’d yet to see his domineering side or having him bark orders at her.

The whole journey from, her first step of talking to Jackie about being a sub to now had been one of mixed feelings and emotions. Was she doing the right thing? Would she like being a sub? and yet other times she knew this was the right path and her decision to become a sub felt right. So many questions in her own mind, but thing she knew, after this evening she would know for sure if this was right for her.

Jessica felt the car swing into a driveway and saw the smart uniformed security guards wave them through, so she knew Steven had been here before, or was known to them. Either side of the tarmaced drive, lights lit the the way, but unfortunately also had the effect of obscuring what lay beyond the mowed grass that ribboned alongside it. Jessica felt as if she wanted to press her nose to the window, or crane her neck round to see all that she could out of the car window, but a sense of expected behaviour kept her still, though the child inside her wanted to see as much as possible as excitement of going to a new place bubbled inside her.

It was with interest that Jessica saw the occupants of the surrounding cars exited their vehicles, noting the way the woman in the first car kept her head bowed and wondered if she should do the same thing? At least she had one advantage to the sub/slave in the second car, in that she had Jackie to show her how to go on in company and also Steven didn’t carry a crop around with him.

When the car halted, Jess watched Steven put a black leash on Jackie and the way she looked pleased. Jess kept still whilst Steven attached the white leash to her, hearing a click as tit was attached and felt a sense of security. Here was this man proclaiming she was his and therefore off to limits to others without going through him. Jess also knew it meant she trusted him, or at least beginning to.

A liveried footman opened the door and Jess got out getting her first look of where they were.

Further back down the drive Jess could see a large house in a colonial style with verandahs encircling it. In the dark it looked pale against the darkness of the night. The building they entered was brickwork and had possibly once been a stables, but had been extended upwards and outwards, making the original function difficult to determine. There were a few windows, but they were few and far between, no doubt to ensure that what happened within, stayed within, offering privacy to it’s occupants

Inside Jess could see that the owners had money. Everything was tastefully though sparingly furnished, presumably so that the space would be uncluttered and turned to a myriad of uses.

"Jessica, you will follow Jacqueline's lead, and remove your coat. You will not be needing it while we are inside."

Jess had been feeling calm up until that moment. She briefly contemplated asking if she could keep it on for a while longer, but knew that wasn’t really an option having noted it was more of an order than a request. Jess’s hands fumbled a couple of times undoing the belt, but she managed to do it, opening her jacket gently and then sliding it off her shoulders, revealing her body and new underwear. She was glad that she’d been to the beauty parlour and there was no unsightly hair showing, having had all her body hair removed, except for the hair on her head.

Out of nowhere a maid came and took her’s and Jackie’s jackets, leaving as silently as she’d come.

Jess saw the way the other occupants of the room cast their eyes over her and found her eyes looking at the floor so she wouldn’t have to meet their gaze even if it had been no more than curiosity on their part.

Unconsciously, Jess found that she had moved closer to Jackie and her eyes moved from the floor to Jackie’s face.

“You have a good body, if you’ve got it, flaunt it.” Jackie told her quietly a glint in her eye.

“Just not used to being out in my underwear.” Jess replied, causing a soft laugh from Jackie.

“You’ll be fine.” she replied.

 

[marauder13]

'I need to send a thank you note to the tailor for his excellent work on this suit. I pity anyone trying to discern my state of arousal this evening by looking alone.'

Steven casually looked over the two submissives that were at the end of his leashes. He took a deep breath to help calm himself down. It wasn't the first time he had seen Jacqueline in such a state on undress. He had the pleasure of seeing her completely naked in the past, and she was a very attractive woman. Her choice of lingerie accentuated her figure perfectly, and he knew she was going to be the centre of some significant attention.

However, Steven took his time taking in Jessica in her choice of 'evening wear'. He blinked slowly twice as he let his gaze roam over her. To his eyes, she was fantastic, easily eclipsing the more experienced submissive. Just the right amount of coverage, along with some rather decorative work for some delicious teasing. Steven wondered briefly how much input Jacqueline and the sales assistant had in Jessica's design choice. He was hoping very little, or that Jessica was taken note of what was being chosen. As with Jacqueline, Jessica's apparel made what she had been gifted with much more appealing to the eye.

Steven smiled momentarily as Jessica cast her gaze to the floor, not from any submissive training, but rather from plain embarrassment going by the rest of her body language. He also noted how she closed on her friend for support.

“You have a good body, if you’ve got it, flaunt it.”

“Just not used to being out in my underwear.”

“You’ll be fine.”

"Jacqueline," Steven's voice was low in volume, but lost none of its other qualities. "Jessica doesn't have a good body. She has a magnificent body." His free hand reached out, gently cupping her chin and with a soft, yet irresistible force, raised her head until she was facing forward.

"Don't cast your face down, Jessica. Jacqueline will do the same. You are both beautiful women. Be proud of yourselves. Not just of your beauty, but also of your courage. How many people would boldly walk about such a gathering, clad so delightfully?" He leaned forward, taking Jessica's lips in a soft, tender and slightly chaste kiss. "You have honoured me greatly by agreeing to attend this event, Jessica."

Steven looked to Jacqueline, a question clear in his expression. The other sub looked at her friend, moving only her eyes, then returned them to her 'Sir'. She bowed her head to him, answering his question.

"Good." Steven's smile was broad, warm and inviting. He led the two women off to one side of the small room, while the other two couples entered the main entertaining area. He looked at Jessica, relaxing himself in the hope she would pick up his change in stance and relax a little herself, even if all subconsciously.

"Jessica, I am very pleased to tell you that I have decided to accept you as my submissive, if you still find the arrangement to be to your liking. The main reason for this outing was to see if you would actually go through with the command given. Some potential submissives have reached here, and decided that they could not do it. Now that you are here, I am confident that what you will experience will not make you change the base decision."

He let go of their leashes, and wrapped Jessica in his arms. He held her for a few moments, kissing her cheek as he let go of her. He retrieved the leashes, and proceeded to lead them to the door that separated them from the main activities.

"Mister Callum, a pleasure to see you again, Sir." The man who greeted them was in his early fifties from appearances, and was dressed as the typical butler. To Steven, whenever he heard the word, Ronald's image came to mind.

"Ronald, a pleasure to see you too. Are our hosts in?"

"Indeed they are, Sir. They are doing the normal meet and greet before the festivities commence in earnest." He turned to Jacqueline, bowing his head respectfully, which Jacki smiled to him in reply, giving him a little wave. When he turned to Jessica, he bowed exactly as he had to Jacki, then looked back at Steven. "A novice, Sir?"

"Yes, a novice."

"It must be a night for it, as the young lady will make the eighth that has passed through tonight. Standard rules of the hosts apply, Sir. Please proceed and enjoy your evening. Ladies."

The passed through the door, into a small, quiet hallway barely ten feet in length. But when they passed out the other side, the full sounds of an active social gathering, along with background music, filled the rather expansive room. The atmosphere was jovial, friendly and rather welcoming. Several people nodded to Steven and his companions as they moved further into the room. Both Steven and Jacki responded to people they knew without slowing down.

People of all descriptions mingled through the room. Most of the women were provocatively dressed like Jacki and Jess, but there were a few men in a low amount of clothing as well. The clothing varied dramatically from almost formal attire like Steven, to leather and a couple of vinyl wearing people.

"Steven, glad you could make it, darling." Samantha Trellcott approached him, pausing to curtsey before him, extending her hand to him. He took it, graced her fingers with a light kiss, which made the middle aged woman blush bright red. "I can't for the life of me think why I do that when you greet me that way."

"Perhaps you feel that I should be kissing somewhere else?"

Samantha got even redder as she tried to look at his face and failed. She was attired as a tavern wench, with a little less authentic support for her chest built in. Apart from that, everything else he could see was close to authentic.

"Did Edward ever tell you about our arrangement?" With only Samantha's widening eyes as her answer, Steven continued. "Should anything befall him and renders him incapable of fulfilling his role, he has written instructions that I am to act as your guardian until such time as a new Dominant is found for you."

"And the man is not making it up either." Steven turned to view Samantha's husband approaching. Like Steven, he was dressed conservatively in a suit. Unlike his wife, Edward was almost twice his wife's age, but still showed a vitality that almost shone. "I know he'll do the right thing for you, and not abuse the privilege either."

The two men shook hands. "Hello, Jacki. You keeping Steven on the straight and narrow tonight?"

"No, Sir. I am chaperoning Jessica this evening."

Edward's bright blue eyes took in Jess in what seemed a moment. "Good evening, Jessica. I hope that you find tonight to be entertaining as well as a little educational. You're in safe hands tonight with both of them.

"Now, go and get something to drink, and a little nibbly or two. We've got fifteen minutes before it all starts." Edward clapped Steven on the shoulder, slapped his wife on her bum as he moved on to talk to some of the other guests.

"Jessica, there is nothing alcoholic on offer tonight. Everyone here is fully sober and will remain that way. Let's wander over and see what the Tellcott's have laid out for us this time."

 

[LadyCara]

"Jessica doesn't have a good body. She has a magnificent body."

Steven's words took Jess by surprise and she found herself looking at him to check he wasn't joking. Jess knew she had a good body, but very rarely had anyone told her outside of passion, making the compliment come across as all the more sincere. She was glad that Steven found her attractive and wasn't afraid or full of himself to tell her. If anything, the matter of fact comment endeared him to her all the more.

Jess was glad that she wouldn't have to go around with eyes downcast or acting like a third class citizen grovelling to her master, though that may come later, her quirky sense of humour told her, even though she knew it not to be true, nothing about Steven indicated that he wanted someone he thought beneath him.

She hadn't expected the kiss, to find his lips gently against hers, but he pulled back before she could properly respond. The fact she was going to respond felt somehow right.

Jess followed Steven to the small room wondering why they hadn't followed the others through the main set of doors. She knew the main area was beyond it by the sound that came through, though that was soon muted when the doors closed behind them.

What Jess hadn't expected was for Steven to tell her that he was accepting her as his new submissive, how could he be so sure about her when she wasn't sure about herself. But then, wasn't this what this whole experience was about, finding out? And then his words slowly sank in and she found herself smiling, she was going to be a sub, she was going to find out how truly gratifying it would be to give yourself totally to a man, this was what she wanted, to know true pleasure.

Jess couldn't help but return the embrace though it was very brief and wouldn't have minded if it had been elongated.

She let Steven lead her by the leash. It was long enough that she wasn't tripping into him, but short enough that she and Jackie kept close to him.

Jess didn't know where to look, her eyes looking and taking in the dress and demeanour of those around her. Jackie and Steven nodded to several acquaintances, so Jess guessed this social gathering happened with a regular frequency. If it wasn't for the way people were dressed this could have been at any grand occasion.

Jess saw a woman in a wenches outfit approach and couldn't help but over hear the exchange, which she found very educational and wondered if, maybe in the future, Steven would put her in a clause if anything were to happen to him.

The woman's husband was known to Jackie as well and she responded to his comments with a 'thank you'.

Jess followed Steven as he lead her over to a laden table full of appetisers, dainty sandwiches and desserts.

"Orange juice." she asked the waiter after he'd looked first at Steven, then he asked her what beverage she would like.

Jess wondered if she should check with Steven first, but guessed that as he'd lead her to the table it would be alright to help herself and so selected a few of the smaller nibbles wanting to try a wide selection and also not wanting to experience what was to come later on a full stomach.

Jess waited patiently for Steven to make his selection before taking her first taste of the contents of her plate.

"Delicious." she told him as the flavours burst into her mouth.

 

[marauder13]

Steven took a drink from the passing waiter, selecting one of the glasses filled with Lemonade. He looked about the room, noting those who were present, and recalling their favoured kinks and demonstrations. He sorted out in his minds eye which ones he would bring Jess over watch, and what favours he could call on to allow his little party to watch some of the normally private affairs.

As he normally did at such events, he checked on his submissives. He had no particular worries or concerns about them, but it was a long established habit and one he was not willing to change anytime soon. Upon looking at Jessica, he recalled her reactions to his more intimate contact with her.

When he kissed Jessica, he felt the surprise followed by the willingness to engage as he was pulling away. He liked that she felt that his kiss was worthy of responding to. He felt a small glow of pride as he came to understand that she felt he was worthy of kissing.

The hug was something even better from his perspective. Nothing surpassed the feel of a woman's body pressed against his. He loved the feel of the planes and curves, the mixture of soft and firm flesh that molded itself against him. Women also smelt so much nicer than men, in his opinion, and he would never fail to enjoy their subtle play on his olfactory senses.

He felt his fingers itch to explore her body, even while it remained clad as it was. Sometimes, the feel of the lace guarding the skin beneath only added to the overall enjoyment and sensation. She looked good in the white, but he thought something a little darker would suit her more. Ivory sprang to mind as he turned his gaze away. His mind's eye easily adjusting the colour for her reference.

The music faded, and the voices followed soon after.

"Once again, Masters and Mistresses, submissives and slaves, Ladies and Gentlemen, thank you for coming along to our little gathering. Tonight, we have no fewer than eight novices with us tonight. As is the rule of this household, all novices are clad in white. You will do nothing with them unless you have permission from those who brought them, save speak to them. They are here to learn, experience and generally get a better feel for what happens within the lifestyle.

"We have rooms set aside for those who wish to entertain openly, as well as those that seek some privacy when they are with someone. All doors have no locks. However, if you want privacy, close the door. If the room is empty, or the people within don't mind an audience, then the door will be left open.

"Above all, have fun. Enjoy what is on offer, make friends and get up to all kinds of naughtiness if the mood and desire strikes. Now, go forth and enjoy."

A sedate cheer and light applause greeted the end of Edward's speech, making his smile lit up even more as the party goers started to move around. Steven watched established couples start moving to the hallway that led to the rooms, while others mingled and a few split up seeking out others.

"Steven!" He turned to see Edward approaching. "I wanted to tell you, as one of my trusted friends, that there is a little place out the back that you can use if you like. There is a natural pool of warm water near a rock face. It is very well covered, naturally, as well as being secluded. During the evening, it stays a lovely temperature and well suited for enjoy the company of a submissive."

"Speaking from experience?"

"Damn straight I am. This time of year, I fuck the daylights out of Samantha down there than I do in our bed or play room. We love it out there." He leaned closer and dropped his voice a little so it didn't carry. "Plus, I know that you will properly respect the place. Somethings there are just so, and we'd like them to remain that way. Now, I'm not telling you that you have to go out there, but the option is there if you want to make use of it. The lads know who is allowed to stray, and who's not."

"Edward, I am honoured that you think of me highly enough to use such a place." Steven held up a hand to stop the older gent from speaking. "My plan was to let Jessica see whatever is open for public viewing, so she has some more ideas of what people do together for their enjoyment. Plus, I know one or two couples here that may be willing to have a private viewing, if not some low level participation."

"Of course, Steven. I understand and sorry if I came across being a little too pushy. I'm just excited about the spot, and I know it would be a place you would find quite comforting and enjoyable too."

"I'll keep it in mind. Now, I have a feeling since Brad and Selene are both here, out first public event will be almost ready to start."

"Yes, we wouldn't want to make Selene unhappy now, would we?"

"No, of course not. Why would we miss such a delightful rear end when she is so enthusiastic about showing it off?"

"Indeed, it's even more delightful when it's glowing red too."

"Ladies, if you would follow me." Steven said turning his head to look at his companions for the night. He gave Jessica a warm, reassuring smile before turning back to lead them to the first of the night's entertainments.

 

[LadyCara]

Whilst Jess nibbled at some of the delicacies and sipped at her drink she allowed her eyes to wonder around the room trying to take everything in. Clothes varied from bright, almost garish clothes to those who wore nothing but black, she also noted that some were almost totally covered up, to those like her and Jackie who were clad in nothing more than pretty underwear. She was also surprised by the party atmosphere, showing that people were here to enjoy themselves, though to be honest, she wasn't sure what she had been expecting. Even the submissives and slaves, appeared relaxed, even those fawning over their mistress. All in all, there was nothing about the gathering that put Jessica on edge or even make her wonder if this was a mistake.

"Is it always like this?" she asked Jackie quietly.

"It gets better." Jackie replied with a glint in her eye and a grin on her face.

It wasn't long before the music faded and as if on cue, the murmur of the crowd also quietened in a kind of expectation and all eyes turned toward the man who began to speak..

"Once again, Masters and Mistresses, submissive and slaves, Ladies and Gentlemen, thank you for coming along to our little gathering. Tonight, we have no fewer than eight novices with us tonight. As is the rule of this household, all novices are clad in white. You will do nothing with them unless you have permission from those who brought them, save speak to them. They are here to learn, experience and generally get a better feel for what happens within the lifestyle.

'Ah, that explains why she was wearing white and not Jackie', Jess thought glad the mystery of the different colour outfits was solved. Jess was also pleased with regards the 'will do nothing with them' part of the speech. In a way it made life easier that those around her knew she was a novice, as she wouldn't have to worry if she said or did something she shouldn't, though Jess sincerely hoped that Jackie would stop her from making such mistakes, one of the advantages of having a chaperon along who knew you.

Jess joined in the clapping at the end just so she wouldn't look out of place, or people got the wrong idea about her. With the end of the speech people began to move away or mingle and Jess moved closer to Steven wondering where or what they'd do first for her initial introduction. As she moved closer she heard a man call out Steven's name and looked to see a man,Edward, come closer.

Jess was close enough she was able to eaves drop on their conversation and thought it was kind and thoughtful of Edward to make available to them a place he usually kept private or only for those he trusted and Steven was obvioulsy one of his close friends.. It was also probably a place they could go if Jess found the proceedings a bit too much to handle, a reassurance that she hadn't realised she needed, she doubted she'd freak out, but it was good to know there was somewhere in the building she could go with Steven and Jackie to either talk things through or, well she wasn't sure about the or, but it could be interesting.

Jess listened as the conversation moved onto Selene and Brad and the fact she liked getting a red backside. Spanking was one of the things she was unsure about. Yes it was supposed to be pleasurable, but it sounded uncomfortable to Jess. But Jess didn't like to prejudge things, or at least try not to, so she followed Steven hoping she'd enjoy the public exhibition.

As they neared the spectators Jess glanced at Jackie who had a look of anticipation on her face.

"Does your Master spank you?" she asked her.

"What happens with my Master stays between me and my Master." But the look on her face gave Jess all the reply she needed.

They stood slightly to one side, where they would have an unobstructed view of the proceedings and Jess felt nerves mixed with anticipation, her arms loosely crossed in response.

Jess gave Steven a quick brief smile, just to let him know she was okay, before returning her eyes to the couple who were now taking centre stage.

 

[marauder13]

Brad was a fellow of middle years, with all the physical signs of that stage of life. His once decent build was more padded than it had been in his younger years. His hairline was advancing back up his head and his face showed signs of a life lived.

Selene, however, was just a year younger than Brad, but she was still radiant. Her youthful features were accented by her maturity, adding another layer to allure. Her hair was a rich walnut that flowed freely to between her shoulder blades. Her figure was slight lopsided; her bust was small, but still firm, pert and a good handful while her hips were broad, flaring wide below an average waist.

Both were dressed casually as if going for a walk to a local park. Brad smiled as people greeted them politely and warmly. Selene squatted and spoke to a few people close to the front of the stage, sharing a rich laugh. When she stood, the two shared a look that was unmistakeable. They were deeply attracted to each other, and there was a bond there that could almost be touched. Brad lifted his face slightly, and Selene dipped hers before turning her back to the crowd.

Steven felt the anticipation rise in the crowd about them. He knew that a majority were regular spectators of this little show, enjoying it almost as much as those performing. It came as no surprise when Selene hooked the top of her skirt, Easily guiding off her hips and down her legs. As she did, she bent at the waist, showing that her legs were crossed, though few eyes went that low. Selene's best feature was her well presented rear. Tight, firm and ample enough, there was little anyone could fault with it.

"Still looking good, luv."

Selene moved her head to one side, smiling at the man who spoke. "Henry, flattery will not get you any further than you are now."

"Stating a fact, luv, not trying anything else."

Her face darkened slightly and she smiled. She stood up, stepping out of the pooled fabric and walking over to where Brad was sitting in readiness. Selene straddled the leg nearest to the front of the stage, resting herself on the other leg, languidly hanging off the limb like a Leopard in a tree.

"Good evening everyone, in particular the new comers. We'd like to show you how much fun can be had when a little spanking is done." His hand dropped to Selene's rear, gently caressing it. Selene's eyes drifted closed and her lips parted slightly as his hand moved over her. "For some people, like Selene, spanking itself can be a sexual experience, enough to bring her to climax. In most cases, it is something that adds a little spice to the over all event."

Brad's hand had been draped over Selene's generous curves while he had been speaking. When his prepared speech came to and end, he commenced rubbing and caressing her rear, eliciting soft moans of pleasure from her.

He then launched into a long demonstration of spanking, explaining why he did what he did, and how other people desired different applications of power and placement. Brad varied the strength of the blows, as well as the timing and placement as the demonstration continued. It didn't take long before Selene was making it clear to everyone that she was enjoying Brad's actions, and his smile spoke volumes about how he felt about her reactions.

Steven found himself intrigued with the skill of Brad when it came to his work on Selene. At one point, Steven saw her starting to grind on Brad's leg, which in turn made him slow his strikes, even pausing for her to stay still. But it was the way he was in tune with her, tailoring his actions to get the desired effect. If he was readying it correctly, Steven thought Brad was keeping Selene on a boil throughout the session. His thoughts naturally went to Jessica, and if that was something that was of any interest to her. Some gut feeling told him it would not be a standalone activity, but part of a greater interaction between them. Of course, her derriere was definitely one suited for some handiwork.

It also took no hard work for him to tell that Jacqueline would have given anything to be in Selene's place. He paused for a moment, remembering what he was permitted to do with Jacqueline while she was in his care, and such activities were allowed, within the limits he was planning on going. He looked back at the stage, a smile gracing his face was he filed away another little activity for the three of them to enjoy that night.

The demonstration came to an end, much to Selene's disappointment as she was lifted off his lap. One look from him silenced her complaints while she stood naked from the waist down before the assembled audience, as though they were not even present.

"Now, for those amongst the crowd who are interested in spanking someone for any length of time, the key is to take some pauses to let your hand recover a little. Of course, the more you do it, the more conditioned your hand will get as well as finding out how best to give the best results without doing to much damage to yourself in the process."

Brad turned and looked at Selene again, who's eyes were locked on his from the moment she stood. Brad flicked his head to one side, and Selene skipped off the stage like a little girl. The audience politely applauded, Brad bowed, and made a successful attempt to depart without looking like he was running after Selene.

Steven turned to look at Jacqueline, while keep Jessica in the corner of his eye. He thanked himself for his control, because Jacqueline was looking extremely sexy in her aroused state, and Steven could have sent her to a quiet room to take her there and then.

"I think that was an interesting little demonstration, don't you think, Jacqueline?" His only response was a slow nod while her focus remained on the stage area. "Of course, spanking for its own sake is not something that appeals to me, but make it a part of something else, I think it could be fun. What did you think about what you saw, Jessica?"

While she pondered her response, Steven took up their leashes, and slowly guided them deeper into the building, moving towards some of the rooms that had been set up for specific, open displays of interest to the party goers.

 

[LadyCara]

Jess didn’t know what to expect for the exhibition. would there be paddles involved, or just the use of the hand, or something even more painful? Spanking was one of those areas that sounded painful, very painful and yet there must be something in it as so many couples indulged in it. And so Jess stood there, hoping to learn why.

Jess watched to see a man and woman enter and assumed they were the Brad and Selene mentioned earlier.She was surprised that both casually dressed, for some reason she’d expected the woman to be in underwear, like herself and Jackie, or to be at least wearing something revealing, or naked even, but they were dressed and nothing about them indicated self consciousness or embarrassment.

Jess could tell that the couple was well liked, by the banter and talk that greeted them and yet there was also an undercurrent of anticipation, indicating that they had done this before. Jess couldn’t help but wonder if Steven would ever expect her to perform in front of a crowd, sometime in the future? The thought was scary and yet, well, Jess couldn’t define the ‘yet’.

Between the two Jess could tell there was affection and wondered if it had always been like that and how long had they been together? Jess glanced in Steven’s direction wondering if they would still be together in a year or two and would he look at her, or she at him, in the same way the Brad and Selene were exchanging looks.

On the ‘stage area’ Brad pulled up a chair and sat on it, and it wasn't very long before Selene moved over to him, bending over his leg.

Jess was fascinated by the skill Brad used, explaining what he was doing as he went and beneath his hand Selene was obviously enjoying it. Jess thought she was going to cum several times, but each time Brad slowed his hand or changed his rhythm preventing her orgasm.

The noise of the woman and the view of her rear vibrating beneath the slap of his hand was making Jess damp between her legs, something she hadn’t thought possible, that such a spectacle could have an effect on her.

Jess wondered what it would be like to have Steven spanking her, but she doubted she’d come with no other stimuli, maybe a vibrator or as the forerunner to something more. The something more was a very intriguing thought.

She found it was different to reading about spanking to actually watching it. It always sounded somewhat impersonal on paper, but infront of her was proof that this wasn’t so. Brad was definitely in tune with Selene and her reactions and that her body responses wasn’t indifferent to him by the way his other hand stroked her back or hair when it wasn’t waving around in the air to make a point.

Jess glanced over to Jackie and could see that the spectacle was having an effect on her, by the way her breathing had deepened and her breasts were more erect and wondered if that was how she looked when she was aroused? Jess had never thought about touching another woman, at least, not in a sexual way, but she was beginning to see the appeal, but knew she’d probably never find out

Jess returned her gaze to the spectacle in front of her.

Selene was by now very aroused, her hips grinding down on Brad’s leg and Jess was surprised that still he didn’t let her come. All too soon for Selenes liking the demonstration came to an end, but Jess could tell that they were planning on finishing somewhere more private, either that, or Selene would end up one frustrated kettle of fish.

A gentle round of applause showed the couple that their demonstration was appreciated, though near her a gentleman moaned about the fact he didn’t see Selene orgasm and was reminded by his companion that it was their prerogative and he for one would watch Selene being spanked anytime.

"Of course, spanking for its own sake is not something that appeals to me, but make it a part of something else, I think it could be fun. What did you think about what you saw, Jessica?"

“Spanking is not something i’d be averse to trying, but yes, definitely as part of something more. Selene certainly enjoyed it, but I doubt I’d enjoy it so much as a stand alone.”

I found the demonstration interesting. I must admit, I didn’t realise that it required so much skill, or that there were so many techniques.”

“Spanking is a very interesting experience.” Jackie grinned, “especially when you have a skilled practitioner.” And Jess guessed she was referring to her master.

Steven took their leashes and Jess and Jackie allowed him to lead them deeper into the building and Jess found she was looking forward to the next demonstration.
