Lost in Paradise (Open, Pm Only)

[MsAmative]

This thread is staged approximately five years after the beginning of Ava's and Devon's journey in Slave Training.)

It had been two years since the two of them first arrived here at the resort. When she had been approached by a friend with the idea of creating a resort that catered to the sexual desires of the guests. She had been intrigued. When he further inquired if she would be willing to come on as a fulltime member of staff, she was flattered but underwhelmed. After years of working for herself and only taking clients and cases that appealed to her it seemed like a position that would be more stressful than she cared to deal with. When she eventually agreed to consult and assist with the initial staffing and training Brandon was ecstatic. Staffing was easier than she had ever expected. In the end, their staff became incredibly well-rounded with many salaried employees filling simple job openings, in guest services, and food service to self identified submissives wishing to fulfill their own desires and a mix of slaves purchased by the corporation for their skills or beauty to fill the rest. In the end Ava agreed to oversee the small group of 5 trainers who assisted new staff and trained incoming arrivals. Perhaps Brandon always knew that she would never leave, as her accommodations were ever so slightly larger than the rest..

The resort itself was impeccably designed, and while the large part of the hotel flanked the beach they also offered a variety of other lodgings that spread out along the beach and deep into the jungle. Their small tropical island could provide almost any vacation experience you could want and so much more. The island itself sat alongside a small chain of islands, leaving the only way in and out by boat, or occasionally by plane. The remote location offered extra appeal as you were cut off from any normal communications, as well as an incredible sense of privacy and freedom from the oversight of any governmental agencies.

For most, it was true paradise...

Ava walked briskly down the hallway, silently thankful that her office was located one level beneath the first floor of the staff housing. While it lacked a good view it meant she had one more barrier between her and the hot tropical sun. Even though it had not yet hit noon today the lingering humidity from the rain this morning left the air hot and thick. From the moment she stepped out of her front door she regretted her choice of clothing, but it couldn't be helped. Most days she dressed for comfort, easily fading into the background of the resort (unless you knew what to look for) since 95% of her interactions involved staff her choices were based in functionality in their hot climate and not appearance The megar 5% primarily consisted of guest arrival days where there always seemed to be some sort of issue and sadly she needed to look the part.

Once she reached her desk she wasted no time, carefully sliding off her heels and smoothing out her black linen pencil skirt and the pale pink poplin button down shirt as she sat. As she pulled out the folder listing today's guests and incoming staff her free hand dug through the top right hand drawer of her desk, searching for a pen to pull up her hair with. While her eyes worked their way down the page, she quickly pulled her long dark brown hair into a haphazard bun.

Thankfully most of the list in front of her were guests, and their profiles did not include any information that would indicate any possible issues. There were a few members of staff listed who were returning from leave, leaving her only one name to be concerned about - a new recruit. Ava's interest had certainly been peaked when her application arrived in her inbox, and it was for more reasons than one. It wasn't particularly strange for someone with higher education to apply to become a member of staff, she often found that people were willing to do work they might normally find unappealing if it meant they could explore their sexuality more freely. She very rarely had people asking to join as a way to enhance their education though, and the request for assistance to further their education while on the island intrigued her. Was it genuine interest or something else? Furthermore, this specific recruit mentioned receiving an anonymous card, referring them to the corporation. The board had not informed her of any new hiring tactics, and seemed to have no information for her when she inquired. Was this some white knight who was trying to brighten this young girl's world or just someone who wished to bring the resort more notoriety?


Either way, the shuttle would be arriving shortly and soon at least some of her questions would be answered.

When the employee shuttle boat pulled up to the employee dock, Devon was standing at the end of it waiting. He stood an even six feet tall, and his swimmer's body was easily visible with the white khaki shorts and polo shirt that he wore. The wind was playing with his short black hair, and as the passengers disembarked, his blue eyes scanned over each of them. The first four were naturally the people he'd seen before and expected. He smiled at each of the employees coming back from their leave from the resort, and when he saw the last person come to the edge of the ramp he stepped towards her.

"Good afternoon." Devon said simply as he approached the woman. "Darcia I presume?" As Devon asked his question, he extended his hands towards her. "My name is Devon, and if you'll kindly come this way, I would be happy to escort you to the staff quarters where you'll meet with our staffing coordinator."

With the small bit of formality out of the way, Devon led the way down the dock towards the short path that would lead them towards the staffing quarters. "Did you have any questions that I might be able to answer before we get there?"

 

[SamanthaCa]

The day before her flight, Darcia met with her sponsor at the university. She had first met Dr. Ava Hill early in her first year and Ava took Darcia under her wing, guiding and grooming her through the life of academia. Dr. Hill became more of a mother to her than her own and parting was tearful for both.

Dr. Hill gave her a parting gift and Ava was thrilled to discover it was an iPad Pro.

“Work hard and for goodness sake, play even harder,” she said. “As discussed, send me weekly updates and we will arrange video conference calls when required.”

“Yes, Ma'am,” Darcia replied.

“Dear child. I hope I'm still around when your hair turns grey.”

“I hope you are too.”

The flight was smooth and arrived on schedule, leaving plenty of time for her to make her way to the boat dock. Going through customs was a pain and quite embarrassing as her case was tagged for a spot check.

The two male custom agents laid out all her items, including her Magic Wand. She wondered if they thought it was a microphone, but their boyish grins dashed that hope.

Stepping out of the airport was like stepping into an oven. 'Darcia, I've a feeling we're not in Canada anymore.'

Darcia chatted with the four other people on the boat and was pleased how friendly they were and the assistance they offered. It was a good first impression.

She had to hold onto her sun hat several times and her long blonde hair whipped in the wind. Thankfully, she had chosen a white top or she would have melted in the heat.

She let the four disembark and when she reached the ramp, saw a man that had to be a model. She normally didn't pay attention to men, but it was difficult not to stare.

"Good afternoon." Devon said simply as he approached the woman. "Darcia I presume?"

“Good afternoon,” she replied. “No, I'm Dr. Livingstone.”

Darcia smiled, “You must be Henry Stanley.”

She thought she saw a twinkle in the man's eye, but found him hard to read.

“Sorry, my attempt at humour.”

She took the offered hand in hers, feeling a firm, businesslike grip.

Darcia followed Devon down the dock and saw a path up ahead.

"Did you have any questions that I might be able to answer before we get there?"

“Yes. Where is the nearest bathroom?”

Devon turned to her and she wondered why she chose a profession that dealt with people, when at times she felt so uncomfortable around them.

 

[LucianDevine]

Devon didn't fully understand the joke that Darcia made, but he did know that it was a joke. So he still offered up a smile and a slight incline of his head. Her answer to his following question wasn't exactly what he expected, but he replied quickly all the same.

"The nearest is in the building we are going to. So it won't be long at all." Devon said simply as he led Darcia to the main staff building. He and Ava didn't reside in the staff building like the others, but Ava did still have an office in it for things that required more formality.

When the pair reached the building, Devon stepped ahead of Darcia and opened it, holding it for her. "The ladies room is just up ahead on the right." Devon said, gesturing with his hand as he let the door close behind him. As she headed that way, he headed in the same direction. He walked a bit past the restrooms, though, and casually leaned against the wall as he patiently waited for her to reappear. As he waited, his hand lifted up to absentmindedly trace the stainless steel byzantine chain that served as his collar, as well as the small steel cat bell that hung from it.

Devon sort of spaced out as he waited for Darcia, his hand continuing to glide along the steel around his neck. His head snapped up when he heard her exit the restroom, and he found himself genuinely wondering how much time had passed, or more specifically, how long he'd been lost in his own head.

"Right this way if you please." Devon said as he stepped away from the wall to lead her further down the hallway until they reached an elevator. He pushed the button, and after a brief pause, the doors opened for them. Devon stepped aside, letting Darcia enter the elevator first before he followed her and pushed the button for the lowest floor. When the elevator sounded off once more, Devon stepped out first, leading the way down the white hallway. There were doors on either side of the hallway at regular intervals, but they were all closed. He made no mention of what was in them, but rather led them straight past until they eventually turned left at a T intersection. It would be noted at this time that Devon altered his stride, now ensuring that the cat bell around his neck bounced against his collarbone with every step. There had been no need to do so before, with nobody around, but it was something that he'd long-since gotten accustomed to doing, especially when he walked down this hallway that would lead them towards Ava's office. The door was open and waiting for them, and Devon led the way into it without hesitation.

"Miss Darcia Bellerose is here to see you." Devon said as he watched his mistress rise to her feet and walked around the desk to approach Darica. As she did, he took a couple of steps side-ways, giving the pair a bit of room while he observed silently.

 

[MsAmative]

Ava fanned herself as she watched the shuttle slowly pull into the employee dock, and as she watched their newest arrival disembark she couldn't help but wonder what her first impression was. Was she excited to be here? Nervous? Soon she would find out. In the meantime she tidied her desk, simply looking to kill time as they made their way through the building. By the time they had made their way down the elevator her desk was clear of excess paperwork, except for Darcia's file of course. She had no need to tidy any further as she had purposefully kept her office warm, but sparse. To make up for the lack of windows on this level the walls had been painted a pale turquoise which contrasted nicely with the grey reclaimed wood that was used to create her L-shaped desk and the bookshelf that spanned the length of the wall behind her. With her desire for order, her desk was fairly empty. Other than the necessary monitors, only a few tropical plants and succulents invaded the empty space.

As she heard the soft tinkling of Devon's bell reverberate down the hallway she let her hair back down, letting the pen fall carelessly on the desk as she ran her fingers through the twisted locks and retrieved her shoes. Thankfully even with this humidity her hair was her saving grace, it was always sleek and straight no matter how she might have wished otherwise. She waited until they both appeared in her doorway to stand, glancing quickly over their new arrival as she took a few steps around her desk.

"Welcome Darcia" Ava said with a smile as she offered her hand to the charming blonde. "I am glad to see you made it here in one piece. I am Ava Thompson, I am the staffing and training coordinator here at the Paradise Resort. Please have a seat" Ava added, gesturing to one of the plush armchairs that flanked her desk as she stepped back behind and sat down.

"Before we go over anything, did you have any questions or concerns?"

 

[SamanthaCa]

At times Darcia thought that chivalry was dead and she was pleased that Devon was such a gentleman to open the door for her.

“Thank you, Devon,” she said.

Darcia had overheard people at the airport say how important it was to stay hydrated and she had taken that too heart. However, a bladder can only hold so much and the bouncy ride on the boat didn't help. In the ladies room, she wondered why Devon was wearing a chain. The pattern was lovely, but the cat bell was extremely odd.

As she opened the door, she noticed Devon running his hand along the chain. He had a look of peace and well-being and it was quite obvious the chain was dear to him.

“Sorry to keep you waiting.”

Darcia again was struck by the courtesy afforded her as Devon ushered her into the elevator.

“You sure know how to make a person feel special. Thank you,” she said.

The white hallway was pristine and she counted the number of doors, wondering what was behind them. Darcia heard the sound of a bell and turned her head to determine where the sound was coming from. It quickly dawned on her that the sound corresponded to Devon's slight change of pace. Apparently, it was a signal that their destination was close at hand.

Although Devon strode into the office, Darcia waited at the doorway, hands at her sides and her head tilted ever so slightly to the side.

She heard Devon say her name, but it was muffled as her focus drifted to the colour of the walls. Turquoise was her favourite colour and it seemed as if she was scuba diving in pristine tropical waters. The bookshelf caught her eye and she wondered how many books there were and what they were about.

But what captured her attention most and held it, was the lady behind the desk. Darcia adored books, but they vanished in the background as the lady moved with the elegance of a panther.

She stepped into the room as the lady walked towards her and was struck by the warmth of her smile and the purr of her voice. Darcia took the offered hand and for some reason, was reluctant to let it go.

Darcia moved to one of the armchairs, noticing the items on the desk and their position. Ava Thompson was neat, practical, organized and disciplined. Frills didn't impress her, but working smart with no wasted effort did.

“It is such a pleasure to be here and I'm thrilled that I was chosen,” she said.

She sat close to the edge of the chair's seat, maintaining a posture that her mother had drilled into her from childhood.

“Thank you for sending Devon to greet me,” and she looked over to him with a smile and whispered a thank you.

“I do have several questions...

Is there anyplace on the compound or on the island that is dangerous, or that I'm not allowed to go?
Would I have access to all the guests?
I need to keep in contact with my sponsor in Canada. I understood there was internet access, but wasn't certain, and if there is access, is there a limit on the access?
If a person wanted to leave the island, could they and has anybody been forced to leave for inappropriate behaviour?; and
Are there any transgenders on the island?”

Darcia paused, crossed her legs and felt the first sign of a blush appear.

“Aside from the academic,” she paused and took a deep breath. “I have a personal interest in the area of Domination and submission. I don't have any real life experience with that, but have studied it extensively. Do you have any suggestions to help me with that? Oh, sorry ... one more question – how should I address you?”

 

[MsAmative]

As the two women got through the pleasantries she couldn't help but perceive the reluctance that the young woman had after taking her hand. What she couldn't quite determine was if it was because of genuine interest or just nervousness. As she watched Darcia take a seat she started to lean towards nervous, her position screaming of politeness and formality, making her seem more closed off than her application had made her appear on paper. She couldn't help but chuckle silently as Darcia verbally thanked her for Devon's escort before silently nodding as she started to ask her first few questions.

"I do have several questions...

Is there anyplace on the compound or on the island that is dangerous, or that I'm not allowed to go?
Would I have access to all the guests?
I need to keep in contact with my sponsor in Canada. I understood there was internet access, but wasn't certain, and if there is access, is there a limit on the access?
If a person wanted to leave the island, could they and has anybody been forced to leave for inappropriate behaviour?; and
Are there any transgenders on the island?”

"There aren't any truly dangerous areas on the island, as long as you exercise the same cautions you would anywhere and make sure to swim between the flags on our beaches you will be just fine. This level is not one you will generally have access to unless invited. The rest of the island is basically up for you to explore, within reason, please remember that you are a staff member and you do have to respect guest privacy and that you cannot partake of paid guest's services without purchasing them yourself. You will certainly have access to guests, we do not forbid interactions between our staff and guests... but we do expect all members of staff to be respectful as your behavior is a reflection upon the resort." Ava commented as she leaned back into her chair. She paused for a short moment, having to reflect on how to handle her more complicated question.

"Formally speaking we do not offer internet access here at the resort, to guests or staff. We have a private local area network and local phone access throughout the resort, but traditional mail is really the only way our residents or guest can contact the outside world. As you know we do offer an emergency line as a way that outsiders can contact us if we need to provide information to someone in case of emergency... but that is something only our emergency staff and our small IT staff has access to." Ava stopped, not only to give time for this information to sink in but to question if this was really an offer she truly wanted to make. "My office is the only other link to the outside world, I can consider allowing you some limited access to be able to contact your sponsor on a semi-regular basis. I would need you to understand that this be something you would not be able to discuss with other members or staff or guests. I will have to speak with our network department and see what I can arrange, as I would not be able leave you alone in my office for privacy reasons." She paused carefully, waiting to see if there would be any significant response to what she had tactfully offered.

"Our employees and contracted members of staff are welcome to leave at any time, although for obvious reasons transportation may not be immediately available. Now have we ever asked someone to leave? Of course. I have escorted several guests and members of staff off the island over the years. While we strive to provide an open place for our guests to relax and explore they are still held to certain standards. No matter how exclusive of a guest they are everyone is required to treat out staff with respect and understand the meaning of consent. While it is rare, I have no qualms about removing someone who cannot understand the concept. Similarly, we have also relieved staff members of their duty if they cannot perform their duties as requested or if they have purposefully disrespected a guest with no provocation. I like the give people an opportunity to explore, for their own personal education... regardless of their income, but we are still a business."

Ava had to chuckle when she thought back on her other question. "Yes Darcia, just like the normal population we do have various people on the island who identify at various places in the gender spectrum."


“Aside from the academic,” she paused and took a deep breath. “I have a personal interest in the area of Domination and submission. I don't have any real life experience with that, but have studied it extensively. Do you have any suggestions to help me with that? Oh, sorry ... one more question – how should I address you?”


"First of all, you may address me by my first name if you'd like. For the most part we are rather informal here, so you do not need to refer to me as Miss Thompson, and most certainly not as Doctor Thompson." Ava said with a chuckle which helped hide her own personal enjoyment for the rest of Darcia's thoughts. "As for any interests you might wish to explore we do offer a variety of classes that are offered for both staff and guests. Depending on how much interest we have in a particular topic, we may have a staff only session otherwise we will often have staff and guests intermingle. After taking the basic course you will have the option to attend our advanced version. As a staff member, I would most likely be the trainer assigned. You are welcome to take as many courses as you'd like, and I will fit them into your normal work schedule. All of this is explained in a bit more detail in the employee handbook you'll find upstairs in your room which lists the all of your options.

I noticed that you indicated limited sexual experience on your secondary application. Other than your personal interests in power exchange, did you have any goals for your stay here?"

 

[SamanthaCa]

Darcia was pleased to hear that there were no dangerous parts of the island. She had recently seen the latest King Kong movie and all of the Jurassic Park movies and meeting up with a T Rex was not on her agenda. Darcia had also seen a Jaws movie and wondered if the sharks were aware of the beach flags.

As Ava leaned back in her chair, Darcia did the same. Her initial touch of apprehension was replaced, after a deep breath, with a calmer manner.

Darcia liked the idea that communication was limited to the island. Her phone was becoming more like a ball and chain with endless texts from staff and students. It would be a welcome change, even though she thought there may be some withdrawal pains.

"Thank you so much for your offer of Internet access and for the trust your offer shows in me. I promise to never break that trust."

A sadness flashed, for a moment, in Darcia's eyes as she remembered a trust that a friend had broken and a trust that she had inadvertently broken.

When Darcia and her sponsor spoke about communication, neither thought about limited access and she thought for a moment.

"I don't want you to go to any trouble, Snail Mail will be perfectly fine. I just may need it on the occasion that written correspondence is just not sufficient. I promise it would be very limited and you could join us, if you wish.". She paused, looking up in thought. "I should also change my emergency number from my mom to my sponsor and if you would like to contact my sponsor for any reason, you are more than welcome."

Darcia's face lit when Ava said... "Doctor Thompson."

"Are you a medical doctor, or what field did you study?" she asked with keen interest.

-------

A sudden burst of butterflies danced in her tummy when, for staff members, Ava said she would most likely be the trainer. Lessons from Ava would be informative and the thought of hands-on training drew a mischievous grin from her lips.

Darcia peered over her shoulder, catching another glimpse of Devon and turned back to Ava with a look of revelation.

"Are you and Devon partners or is there something more?" She asked slowly, while thinking the chain around his neck was more than a fashion statement.

-----

"I'm glad you mentioned an employee handbook. I'm sure there is a ton of information and it will, no doubt, answer some questions that I haven't thought of."

She leaned forward and her voice caught a level of excitement. "The first is to complete my time requirements for certification and complete a case for presentation upon my return to Canada. The subjects of my case presentation would be transgenders and transsexuals."

Darcia paused to try and read Ava and to let her interject if need be.

"I have more than a passing interest in BDSM and am curious about the dynamics between a dominant and a submissive and if those traits are biological, social or sexual and to what degree. It wouldn't be a scientific study, but is of interest to me and possibly others."

She quickly turned to Devon and back, wishing this was a private conversation between her and Ava, but then decided that if Ava trusted him, she could as well.

Her body had become more relaxed and she became quite at ease. "My 'sister' was born in a male body and is going through hormone treatment. She has not decided if she will complete the process. This has come at quite an expense ... Our father has all but disowned her and mother is barely tolerant." She paused to compose herself.

"I've been the 'good' girl with high expectations. Taking the right courses, having the right friends and socializing in the proper circles. I think I've lost who I really am.

In books, I empathize with the submissive and can't put myself in, or understand the dominant role."

She took another deep breath. "And it isn't just about sex, there must be a deeper level. Biologically, I think males were intended to have the dominant gene and females the submissive gene. But of course, nothing is pure black and white, so not all males are dominant and not all females are submissive."

Darcia knew she was rambling, but continued. "And what happens when transgender is thrown into the mix. Is there a genetic relationship between transgenders, sexual attraction and domination or submission. Plus, there must be people that are just D/s sexually and can turn on and off that part of their personality. I need clarity on who I really am."

She looked down and then up to Ava. "I think I should have stopped talking five minutes ago. Sorry."

Darcia moved back into a comfortable position and locked her eyes with Ava. "Also, I should have mentioned earlier ... You're gorgeous and your hair, I so wish mine was like yours."

She smiled, wondering what it would be like to feel Ava's lips on hers.

 

[MsAmative]

Ava was far from surprised when Darcia's face lit up before feverishly asking what type of degree she actually held. It seemed more and more apparent that their newest "guest" was very securely stuck in "work mode". She could only hope that the young lady in front of her would truly come around, because she'd hate to cut her trip short.

"Yes, I would be considered a medical doctor... at least by most of the world" Ava replied with a wink. "My focus was in family practice and psychiatry, although my role here is a bit different than what my fellowship set me up for." She looked away towards Devon as she considered the second question. "As for my relationship to Devon, I'll let him expand on that a bit more as he escorts you to your living quarters. We are partners, but not in the traditional sense."

Ava let her gaze wander back to the curious young woman who sat before her, running her hand absentmindedly through her hair as she contemplated the barrage of questions and thoughts that were put before her. Her interests were certainly peaked as Darcia leaned forwards, the excitement in her body language was clear, but it was somewhat dashed as the girl once again referred back to her studies. As she babbled on it at least became somewhat clearer that it may have almost become a cover for her inexperience.


"Thank you for the compliment dear." Ava said softly, letting a slight blush come across her face as she pulled a piece of her dark hair behind her ear.


"You've made some interesting points today Ms. Bellerose, which I think would lead to an interesting discussion for a later date... but I am glad that you decided to share them in the moment. I think it's more important that we discuss something more immediately pressing though. The request on your application to have the opportunity to study and intern here at the resort intrigued me, and while unusual - it is something I would be willing to make happen for the right individual. I do want to remind you however this position is meant for personal growth. You've spent a lot of time discussing your career objectives today, and while that does show me a lot about you, it doesn't quite answer my question."

Ava scooted her chair closer towards and desk and leaned forwards in her chair slightly, resting her elbows on the desk. "Is there a reason you have talked in a roundabout way when asked about your sexual experience in our application and in front of me today?" she asked, her tone slow and careful. "Or, do you simply have none to reference?"

 

[SamanthaCa]

Darcia enjoyed Ava's blush and felt a slight warmth glow over her cheeks. Ava moving her hair seemed more of a habit than a need and Darcia delighted in the graceful way you had done it.

Moving your chair and placing your elbows on the desk, hinted that this welcome interview was soon to be over and hadn't gone well. To her university and sponsor, this was a work and career developing opportunity, but to her it masked her primary reason for coming to the island.

She took a few moments to drop her mask of academia that she hid behind and a warm smile crossed her lips.

"Ava. Expectations are so high for me that I need this year to learn who I really am. School has always been easy for me, I train hard and do well in sports and I've dated boys that my parents like more than I do."

She didn't blush, nor did she appear nervous, in fact she showed a relaxed confidence that she displayed in private, but seldom in public.

"I am a virgin. I've masturbated my boyfriends and had oral sex with my last boyfriend. They've all touched my breasts and my last boyfriend was allowed to rub me. My pants were unzipped and my panties stayed up."

She looked over to Devon and he seemed as relaxed as she now felt.

"I didn't want to go further with my boyfriends because I didn't know what they were really after from me. Last year, I rented a house with another girl and we quickly became attracted to each other. She, to a degree was dominant and I confirmed what I had thought, that I was ... am submissive."

She shifted slightly. "After her final semester, she left for a job and I buried myself in my studies."

Darcia brushed a wisp of hair away from her. "With her, I was blindfolded, tied and spanked and I want to experience that again, but at a much deeper level with an experienced dominant. I also want to go further and be trained as a puppy girl and to be humiliated."

There, she had finally said what she had been thinking.

"I also want to please and be pleased sexually by your guests, both males and females and if acceptable to Devon," and she turned towards him. "I would like him to teach me how to please a man orally."

She hoped she had not gone too far. "And, I thought I had lit the room when I walked in, but it is you who did so. May I ask what I could do for you and what it is you may desire from me?"

 

[MsAmative]

There was a moment of surprise that undoubtedly crossed Ava's face as Darcia smiled and finally revealed what she wanted all along. Even though she had only know her for mere minutes there was a part of Ava that was genuinely proud of her for the confidence that she was able to show while revealing the unfiltered truth. She wished she could have been surprised at what Darcia shared, but for the most part it was what she expected. She did have to wonder how her and her roommate inevitably ended up in that scenario, but she would find out soon enough.

Ava let her hand slide, slowly bringing her right hand up to her mouth in a half hearted attempt to hide her grin as Darcia turned and politely asked to use Devon for her own desires. She had been worried this young woman would be boring.. Ultimately she was happy for the slight cover her hand gave her, because she couldn't help but chuckle slightly as Darcia seemed to genuinely want to know what she could do to please her.

"Be yourself, be vocal about what you want when you speak with me... or us for that matter. Let yourself live in the moment for a while and worry about your career later. It will still be here in a few months and I am sure you can find something to tell your sponsor about. Perhaps all the classes you will take?" Ava said with a grin.

"I have an appointment I need to get to. Why don't you let Devon give you a tour of the building and show you to your quarters." she finished, nodding to Devon as she did so.

 

[SamanthaCa]

Darcia stood, a warm smile forming. "Ava, thank you for giving me the opportunity to meet with you so quickly. I'm not very good with people when I first meet them, but your uniqueness made me comfortable enough to reveal a part of me that I sometimes don't even admit to myself."

She reached into her handbag, took out her IPad and phone and placed it on the chair she had just vacated.

"I don't think I will need these for the next few months, at least, and perhaps I can leave them in your care."

Darcia offered her hand to shake and when she grasped yours she brought her other hand up and rubbed the top of your hand with the tips of her fingers.

"I only know little on how to please a man ... but I hope that very shortly I can show how I can please you."

Reluctantly, she let Ava's hand slip away.

 

[LucianDevine]

The conversation between Ava and Darcia was certainly an interesting one. There were naturally parts of it that he had expected, and other bits that he hadn't expected. He remained still and calm throughout the entirety of it, though, his face only really changing and reacting to Darcia's suggestion that he personally help show her how to please a man orally. She had high aspirations for a virgin, but that was admirable in it's own way. Even as he listened to the rest of the conversation between the two of them, it was impossible for his mind to not linger on the things that she'd suggested.

When Darcia finally let Ava's hand slip free of her own, Devon finally stepped forward and moved towards the door. He opened it and stepped aside, letting Darcia step through it first before he turned back towards Ava. He stepped towards her and bent down to whisper something into her ear. He waited only long enough for her near-silent response before he nodded his head and turned back towards the doorway. He gave Ava a final nod before he left the room and closed the door behind him.

"Alright then Ms. Bellerose, if you would be so kind as to follow me, I will happily give you a quick tour of the building and show you to your room." With that said, Devon started walking back down the path they'd come, but it would be noted that he did not stop to explain what was behind all of he closed doors that they passed. "As Ava briefly explained, this is not normally a floor that people have access to. You will almost certainly be briefed on it, just not at this time."

When the pair reached the elevator, Devon once again allowed Darcia to enter first before he followed her and pushed the button that would take them back to the lobby. It was a short walk from the lobby to the cafeteria. He held open the door for her to look inside as he spoke. "This is naturally the cafeteria." Devon started simply as the doors opened to reveal something similar to a school lunch room. "It's basically self-serve buffet style, and is open all day and night. If you would like, we can stop and talk here if you would like something to eat, or I could have something brought up to your room if you would prefer to talk in private. Either way, though, you are welcome to ask any questions you may have, and I will gladly answer them to the best of my abilities."

 

[SamanthaCa]

Darcia's walk from Ava's office was visibly more relaxed than her walk to the office. She thanked Devon in the elevator and the cafeteria looked similar to the one at school.

"I'm famished," she said. "I would like to eat here."

She took a tray and walked down the line of food, picking some of the seafood and pasta salads. "Everything looks delicious," she said to Devon.

She picked a table and sat at a chair that afforded her a view of the exit/entrance.

"Ava is lovely, I can tell you think highly of her as well. Could you tell me a bit about her ... what are her interests, what is her favourite color, does she like chocolate and does she have a favourite flower?"

She looked at Devon. "Would it be too personal to ask about the chain you wear and the significance of the cat bell. I've never seen one like it."

She stood. "Could I get you a drink or something?"

Darcia pulled the handle on the chocolate milk machine, took a big sip and then refilled the glass.

"What is your favourite color?" she asked. "Mine is purple."

"I have a question about the credits. How do they work?"

She shifted slightly in her chair and placed her fork beside her plate. A blush crept over her cheeks and she lowered her voice, "I did mean what I said ... about learning oral from you. Do you think that is something you would like to do?"

"I'm not quite sure on how to ask this question. It's about interaction with guests and staff. Off the island, people may date several times before they engage physically and here, I suspect, the process is sped up. How is that done?"

"One last question. Do you know where I go tomorrow and what I would be doing?"

 

[LucianDevine]

Devon wasn't at all surprised that Darcia was hungry. He'd taken the same trips that she had on several occasions. He gladly walked with her as she picked up a tray and picked out the things that she wanted before heading over to a table. He sat down across from her and silently observed her as she ate.

The barrage of questions that Darcia fired off caught Devon a little off guard, but in reality they really shouldn't have. She'd done something similar with Ava just a couple minutes ago. He chuckled softly, thought for a couple of seconds, and opened his mouth to reply.

"As in normal interests? She likes to read, loves nature and misses gardening. Sexually? A bit of everything really. Her favorite color is pink, she hates chocolate or sweets really and her favorite flower is alstromeria, but she enjoys pretty much anything other than roses."

"The chain is a gift from Ava." Devon started simply, lifting his hand to trace along it. "I came to her about five years ago, and though the first few days were...shall we say...difficult, she was still patient with me. Our past is a complicated one for sure, but it ended up with her presenting me this chain, her collar. It marks me as hers, and with her being the main authority on the island, it means that I answer only to her. The bell was added more as a functional joke of sorts at first. I have a very soft step, and I've startled people on more than one occasion. The bell helps announce my approach and presence to help avoid that."

Darcia's offer to get him something to drink was touching, and Devon smiled as he shook his head. "No thanks Darcia, I am good, and my favorite color is royal blue. I don't mind sky blue, but I like a deeper and richer color."

Devon took a quick breath before answering Darcia's next question. "Credits are basically treated like a normal salary anywhere else. They are "deposited" in your island account every friday, and they are treated like cash on the island. Want to go shopping? Have a meal at one of the restaurants? A drink at the bar? You use your credits just like you would cash. Basically you can purchase anything a guest would. Granted, you can use cash if you've brought it, but you do not have to."

The sudden change in Darcia's posture did not escape Devon's notice, and the blush that came to her cheeks before her comment and question was adorable. "Yes Darcia." Devon started softly as he met her gaze and held it. "If that is something that you are truly interested in, I would be honored to help you." He let his words linger there before finally forcing himself to blink and focus enough to answer her next question.

"As far as interactions between guest and staff or other guest, It really depends on what you personally want. There are certainly people here that have no issue exploring things with others immediately. There are others who like to build trust first. Neither is wrong, you simply communicate those expectations with others. If you want to go slow and build a rapport, tell them you want to spend time getting to know them. If they aren't okay with that move on. Unless you truly decide to become a CES you never have to interact sexually with a guest unless you wish to."

Darcia's final question was an understandable and expected one, and Devon responded to it quickly enough.

"You'd report to Ava in the morning, and she'd go over what you'd be doing for your first day. Usually she'll have someone shadow a couple positions for the first several weeks, let you get a feel for how things work and what your options are. There is a lot of training involved if you really want to become a CES and you usually work part time in another position during training, most often in guest services or concierge. I don't specifically know who you would be shadowing or what department, she hasn't mentioned it."

"Should we continue with our tour then?" Devon asked with a smile when Darcia was done eating. He pushed himself slowly away from the table and rose to his feet. He once again gestured for her to walk beside him as he escorted her out the door they'd come in.

"This building has a few amenities that are available to every member of the staff. "Devon said as he led Darcia down one of the hallways. "It has a gym, a pool, a sauna, and access to a staff only beach." Devon showed Darcia where each of the first three things were located, with the outdoor pool on the backside of the building being the last of the three. There was a short path on the other side of the pool that led away from the building, and it was that path that Devon escorted Darcia down.

"This beach is reserved for staff members and their guests only." Devon said as he walked slowly across the sands towards the water. "Its a good place to come for a break whenever you feel like you might be losing yourself as you tend to the needs and desires of the guests." Devon let his words hang in the air as he simply looked out over the water and listened to the soft crashing of the waves, wondering what Darcia was thinking just then.

 

[SamanthaCa]

Darcia was impressed with the pool and the gym, both of which she knew she would spend time in. A sauna had never appealed to her, thinking sweat should be a result of activity and not sitting in a small overheated room.

She enjoyed the stroll down the path and Devon's company. He was relaxed, yet everything he said and every movement was precise and measured. She felt a certain bond begin to form and that in many ways, they may be quite similar.

"Do you ever feel like you may be losing yourself?"

She kicked off her shoes and walked to where the sand was wet. "I love the color of the water and could listen to the sound all day and night."

She took Devon's hand. "C'mon, let's walk along the water."

"I think you have to find yourself before you can lose yourself. You're fortunate if you know who you are." They walked slowly. "I would like to become a Customer Experience Specialist and perhaps you could tell me a little more about it. It may be a high goal for me, but one I'm prepared to work my hardest for."

"I don't know who gave me the card that led me here, but for now I will believe it was my fairy grandmother. It feels I was destined to be here. Do you believe in destiny?"

Darcia wasn't sure how far the staff only beach went for, so she turned and walked back with Devon, the way they came.

It seemed as if the water was inviting her in and she stopped, unbuttoned and slipped off her top. She was wearing a black lace bra and when she lowered her skirt she wore a matching pair of panties.

She unfastened her bra and dropped it to the sand. "Will you join me?" and she turned, ran and dove under the water.

 

[LucianDevine]

Darcia's first question was certainly a fair one. He opened his mouth to respond, but the next two comments she made, along with her kicking off her shoes distracted him from that. He smiled at her as he kicked off his own shoes, and he reached down to take off his socks before he let her take his other hand and lead him closer to the water.

"I don't get that feeling anymore Darcia..." Devon started softly. "I did lose myself once, though, in high school. I was a swimmer back then, a really good one. I made the varsity team as a freshman, and my coaches knew that I was a sure lock for an athletic scholarship to college, and maybe even the Olympics. Swimming was all I knew through my junior year...until I hurt my shoulder. It happened during the last competition of the year...I got caught up in he competition, and pushed myself too hard..." Devon let his words trail off for a bit as the pair walked along the beach, the wet sand crunching beneath their feet as the water splashed around their ankles. "I spent that entire summer in a haze of sorts. Even when my shoulder healed, it wasn't one-hundred percent, and no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't get back to where I was. When it came time for tryouts that next year...I couldn't do it." Devon paused there and just listened to the waves for a bit before continuing. My senior year in high school was when I found myself. I took every opportunity to get out of the house that I could. I never really tried to force the issue when it came to girls and sex. I just sort of...I don't know...went with the flow...and took it from there. I always found myself asking what they wanted, and found genuine joy and pleasure in giving them what they wanted, be it just a friend, a casual fuck buddy...or even just a one night booty call..."

"But anyway, enough about me..." Devon said with a chuckle."When it comes to our CES team, it's all about covering as wide a range of interests as possible. We have every one of them fill out a questionnaire when they apply for it, more or less stating what their sexual interests are, likes, kinks, dislikes, and limits, that sort of thing. We like for each of them to have at least six likes or kinks, but more is always a plus. We do that so that whenever a guest asks for something niche or specific, we have somebody on hand who is familiar with it and interested in it as well. That way, both parties get enjoyment out of the interaction."

Darcia's next comment and question made Devon smile. "I do believe in destiny. It's impossible to say whether or not I would be here right now if not for that injury, but I find that I would rather be thankful for what happened rather than constantly wishing things had been different. If not for that injury that turned my life and future upside down, I might never have met Ava and been the happiest I've ever been."

When Darcia suddenly stopped walking, Devon turned back to her, a curious look on his face as he watched her unbutton her top and toss it to the beach. When her skirt followed the same flight path as her top, Devon chuckled once more, knowing now what she intended to do. The part that he didn't expect, though, was when she unhooked her bra, tossed it towards the rest of her clothes and dove in. He waited for her to come back up before he took the sleeve of his shirt in one hand and pulled his shirt up and off with one quick motion, revealing his toned upper body. He tossed it near her clothes before pushing his shorts down and sending them in the same direction leaving him in just his tight gray boxer briefs. He hadn't been swimming competitively for over five years, but he'd at least kept his swimmer's body in shape. He waded in after Darcia, and when the water was up tohis waist, he dove in, relishing the feel of the water as it swallowed him up. He took several long strokes forward before flipping to his back and paddling back towards her, a smile on his face when he finally met her gaze once more.

 

[SamanthaCa]

The water caressed her skin at the perfect temperature and it was nice to rid herself of her bra. It was a necessary evil that she went without as much as possible. She splashed water as Devon floated nearby.

"I'm sorry to hear about your shoulder. I try to have the philosophy that there are no setbacks in life, just challenges that are there to make us better. Sometimes that is easier said than done."

She glided towards Devon and then turned onto her back, their shoulders touching. "I was in a car accident years ago and my friend lost his leg. I didn't even end up with a little more than a scratch. He had his moments of sadness, but mostly he was an inspiration."

Darcia rolled away and went under the water, swimming until her breath gave way. Devon was looking for her and she went underwater and swam until she came up behind him with a spray of water. "Maybe we can race in the pool sometime. maybe place a little wager," she said with a grin.

"Oh...oh dear. I was going to ask you something, but if you belong to Ava I have to ask her."

 

[LucianDevine]

The small splash of water as he backstroked near Darcia made Devon laugh. He was glad that she was able to relax, even though it was her first day here. He listened to her words as she eventually moved to swim on her back beside him with their shoulders touching. "Yes, we all have our moments, but I just try to go day to day and let the future work itself out in it's own time."

When Darcia disappeared underwater, Devon let his feet touch the ground and looked around wondering where she was going to surface. He did get a little worried after about thirty seconds or so, and was actually about to go down and look for her before he heard her pop up behind him. "A wager huh? And what did you have in mind?" Devon asked with a coy smile as he looked back at her over his shoulder.

Darcia's last statement was as curious as it was understandable. He turned to face her properly. "I freely admit that I belong to Ava and that she is my mistress, and your consideration is appreciated. I assure you, however, that I have her confidence and trust. If you have a question, you are more than welcome to ask me directly. That being said, while it is impossible for me to not be curious about your question, you are also more than welcome to wait until she is present to ask it."

As he spoke, Devon let his upper body sink back into the water while still meeting Darcia's gaze. It was true that she was topless, but he still wanted to be respectful.

 

[SamanthaCa]

"A wager huh? And what did you have in mind?"

Darcia laughed, a laugh that came deep from her belly. Growing up, her 'friends' said her laugh embarrassed them and although she tried to curtail it, it was a part of her. One day one of her students came up to her and said he joined her class for two reasons ... the care she showed her students and her laugh which made his day. This pleased her and reminded her of how cruel people can be.

"Wellllll," she said with a smile. "If I win, in the cafeteria, you will feed me strawberries dipped in chocolate." She paused. "Not that I will, but in the off chance I lose, what would you have in mind?"

"If you have a question, you are more than welcome to ask me directly."

The fun look she wore turned serious, but she kept her eyes locked to yours. "As a potential CES, remaining a virgin doesn't seem practical. I feel at ease with you and thought you would be an excellent choice for my first time. We could have brunch together and then hike around the island, perhaps finding a pool of water for a swim. We could bring wine, cheese and bread and have a late afternoon picnic. Then, under the shade of the trees, we could......you know.....do it."

She lowered her eyes and took a deep breath. "Keeping my virginity hasn't always been easy and at times I've imagined that my virginity was taken, but not by my choice. That way, the choice would be taken from me. Rape is evil, but if a guest and a staff 'know' its not rape ..."

Darcia looked back up to you. "An optimist sees the glass as half full and the pessimist sees the glass as half empty. Perhaps Ava would understand this more than you, but how can it be so difficult to decide on whether to give the gift of virginity or have it taken?"

She slipped under the water and when Devon turned, he saw her hip deep in water, walking to the shore.

 

[LucianDevine]

"Hmm, I'll have to think about what I would want as a prize for winning and get back to you later on that." Devon said with a calm confidence.

The conversation took a turn towards serious when Darcia put a voice to the thoughts that she'd hinted at before. He was silent as she spoke, not wanting her to reconsider her willingness to talk to him. The first part was understandable, and likely easier for her as she was able to hold his gaze through the entirety of it. The second part of what she had to say is the part that worried him, and that worry started from the moment she lowered her gaze from his. He could see that she was torn, and he felt a strong desire to approach her and hold her, knowing his difficult this conversation likely was for her to have.

Before Devon got a chance to act on his thoughts, though, Darcia dipped under the water, and once again left him wondering where she would surface. When she eventually did, she was hip deep in the water and walking towards the shore. He hesitated for only a moment before running after her as fast as he could through the water.

"Darcia wait..." Devon started as he dared to reach out and put his hand on her shoulder to try and stop her without using any true force.

"It's impossible for me to understand what you have gone through and are feeling right now. So I won't insult you by pretending that I do." Devon's hand moved from her shoulder to gently grip her hand, hoping that he wasn't overstepping in the process. "I think that spending an afternoon like that with you sounds great, and I am honored that you would think of me that way. Devon hesitated for a couple seconds before giving her hand a gentle squeeze and finally releasing it, hoping that the ease she'd mentioned with him before hadn't been completely broken.

 

[SamanthaCa]

Darcia wasn't angry or upset and hoped Devon would follow her to the shore. She felt his touch on her shoulder and it was nice and friendly. His touch along her arm sent a warm shiver through her and she joined her fingers with his.

"I'm fine ... really I am," she said. "It just hit me a bit admitting to you that I've had rape fantasies. I hardly know you and in one day I've asked you to teach me oral, make love to me for the first time and that I have rape fantasies."

Darcia laughed. "And I'm not embarrassed to go topless. My partner was raised in a nudist family and we lived together ... sans clothing."

She felt the light squeeze of his hand and was going to squeeze his back, but he released her hand too quickly.

Her fingers moved and touched his and their fingers and hand joined once again. "I'm so happy that you would be honored to be my first. I imagine it to be a romantic day, filled with fun and playful teasing, ending with us making love."

Just as the last word left her lips, all the color drained from her face. "Oh my God. You belong to Ava and I've been talking about romance and love. We couldn't possibly do this without Ava's blessing."

Her breathing quickened. "What if she thinks I'm trying to steal you. If she's the jealous type I could become shark food."

She turned facing you. "This is all new to me. Am I being silly?"

 

[LucianDevine]

When Darcia started to talk again, explaining herself and her worries, Devon simply let her do it. "I am not here to judge, Darcia." Devon said softly at last. "And even if I was, everything you've talked about is perfectly natural, especially for this place. There is nothing wrong for wanting to see your desires fulfilled.

The part about Darcia's nudist partner and the way they'd lived together answered one of the questions that Devon hadn't had time to ask yet, and even if he had tried, her next flurry of words would have cut him off. He saw her genuine concern at her words and desires, but despite that, he couldn't help the full-bellied laugh that slipped from him.

"No, you are not being silly." Devon started at last as he reached to take Darcia's other hand as well. "My mistress is not the jealous type, and even if she was, all that she would ask of me is that I share..." Devon let his final words trail off with a coy smile as he gave both of her hands a gentle squeeze, wanting to further reassure her.

 

[SamanthaCa]

Darcia began to laugh when he laughed and her laugh was unreserved and brought tears to her eyes.

"Forget shark food," she said trying to contain her laughter. "She would probably throw me in the dungeon and have me flogged." She paused, "However, that might be a punishment I would enjoy."

"My mistress is not the jealous type, and even if she was, all that she would ask of me is that I share..."

"Share..." Darcia said letting the word trail off. She tried in vain to hide the smile that crossed her lips. With a naughty grin she asked, "Does Ava like strawberries...without the chocolate?"

Devon's gentle squeeze did reassure her and added to the playfulness of the moment. She squeezed back and slowly pressed her body to his. Her breasts felt the chest of a man who had pride in his body and her hips, without conscious thought, pressed to him as well.

She licked her lips as her eyes met his. Her eyes became feline looking and she raised her arms, letting her hands paw at his shoulders, looking like a cat playing with a toy. In a hushed breath she asked, "Do you think it's time for my first lesson?"

 

[LucianDevine]

Darcia laughing along with him brought a smile to Devon's lips when the two finally stoppled laughing. He was glad that she had managed to get past the negative thoughts that had so quickly effected the otherwise pleasant moment they'd been sharing.

Devon listened to Darcia's question as he felt her squeeze his hand and step closer to him. The feel of her breasts against his chest pulled a soft sigh from him, and the feel of her hip pressing against him caused his cock to stir within his briefs. He looked down at her as she licked her lips and lifted her hands to paw at his shoulders, his own hands moving subconsciously to the slight swell of her hips.

Darcia's question sent a sea of images swirling through Devon's head as his cock quickly started to harden at what she was clearly implying.

"As tempting as that is Darcia..." Devon started as his hands pulled her a bit tighter against him. "I do think that a shower is in order first, unless of course, you enjoy the taste of salt water?"

Devon left his words hanging in the small bit of space between them, still holding her close while also giving her the freedom to decide if she truly wanted to do this here and now or not.
