OOC: Ok, What I have in mind for this thread, is that my character, Gary will be bought by a domme. As far as what I have planned for the thread, that is completely and totally up to the domme who buys Gary. If you want to be a sadist determined to break him, feel free. Likewise, if you want to be about the only benevolent mistress he has ever had, that is just fine as well. There are very few limits to what I will allow, though a heads up is appreciated when dealing with certain extremes. Please pm me if you are interested in joining, I am on almost daily.

IC: The lights flared brightly, and the man in shackles lifted his head with a sigh. The room he was in was relatively nondescript, just a large circular room with shackles on each wall, and of course the shackles hanging from chains in the center of the large room. The bound man was naked from head to foot and bore signs of sustained abuse all over his body.

At the door meanwhile, Maria, the owner of the establishment in which he was being kept, was leading a small group of chattering people. This man wasn't the only person Maria owned, but each slave had their own dungeon, in case some of the potential buyers wanted a trial run before buying.

The man's name had once been Gary, but as per his contract, his name had been stripped from him. He knew as well as every other slave owned by Maria, what the presence of such a group meant. It meant that today was auction day, and he was on display. As Maria and the group approached him, he turned his head away from them. To most this would seem a sign of respect, but Maria knew different. "Stand firm maggot!" Came the command, accompanied by the sharp snap of a riding crop hitting his chest. Gary put his feet on the floor, instead of hanging as he had been. He stood an impressive six feet six inches, and his bodily was heavily muscled through and through. His cock was similarly large, standing eleven inches long with a two-and-a half inch girth when fully aroused. His head lifted to look Maria square in the eye. "Eyes on the floor!" Followed by another sharp snap to the same spot. His head lowered, despite the fact that he hadn't made a sound or flinched in the least. Maria's guests meanwhile had lined up in front of him. Gary knew that they would be led forward to inspect him and evaluate his worth and potential.

His deep and almost shining blue gaze watched each domme/dom as they moved across the room. That blue gaze lifted to meet the gaze of the domme/dom that stepped forward.

It was not fear that gripped him, only a quiet understanding. His body told the tale that his mouth almost never spoke of. He had old wounds and scars all over his body, most especially on his back, which had been abused especially badly by somebody.

With each domme/dom to pass him, He lifted his gaze once more, sometimes receiving punishment for his seeming insolence. Still, he took it stoically while he waited to see what would happen.

At forty-three Mistress Kat stood looking over her one remaining little worm of a pet. She stood five foot nine in her stiletto thigh high black leather boots, her long red locks dangled down into his face as her long thin fingers with claw-like red nails drug along his bare shoulders as he knelt naked before her. She moved her fingertips along his shoulders as she produced a golden key and unlatched his collar, the lock clicking open as she removed the small padlock and pulled the collar from his neck.

“Go now before I change my mind.” She said as he came to her and asked to be released due to finding a steady live-in girlfriend. He had grown to become her favorite, he was submissive, playful and still had fire in him that needed to be controlled, and she controlled every bit of him, even to the point where he needed to ask her to fuck his girlfriend and cum. She held almost every bit of his inner being within the palm of her hand, that was power and control something she dearly enjoyed.

She watched him leave the dungeon, as she looked around and shook her head needing something new to mold, to play wit to tease and yes to fuck as she pleased.

Arriving at Marie’s a close friend of hers that had a few ‘play toys’ up for sale she shed her leather black trench and stood there among friends, her red hair rested tightly against the back of her head in a bun, her body incased in a tight form fitting latex black cat suit, black gloves to match and her thigh high black boots.

Kat moved about alone, not needing a group to see what was for sale, a few females among the men, cute little toys she thought that could please her just as well as a male but her desire was a man, built and with a bit of fire and a cock to match his temperament.

In one small dungeon area and back out, a few scrawny males shackled to walls in heavy chains just didn’t seem to catch her eye of give her that jolt between her thighs she was seeking. Entering her third dungeon she looked to a blonde male, tall and semi muscular, a bit of a roll in the middle, her brow popped up as she ran a latex finger along his chest lifting his head by the way of his chin, her eyes met his as she looked within them. “You seem to be a possible tasty morsel,” she said with directness in her voice.

He looked to her eyes and she saw nothing that appealed to her. Her hand dropped to between his spread thighs as she groped his sac and shook her head, then turned and walked out.

This truly seemed to be a night of disappointment she thought to herself, Maria normally had good taste in male meat, but it seems she has been picking from the bottom of the barrel. Scarlet heard leather meet flesh once and then twice as Maria’s voice echoed through the dungeon’s cold stone walls. Hearing her refer to one as a maggot, as she saw the small crowd gathered around a male shackled to the wall. She waited till the group moved on as she stood there from across the room and watched him for a brief bit of time.

He was well over six foot, his body was cut and lean. Her eyes dropped to between his legs as she was quite impressed by his size. She could see the marks upon his flesh from the past and the red welts on his chest from the present.

Scarlet felt her internal flame within rage with heat as it burned looking over him; she pictured him before her at her feet on his knees, his lips worshiping her stocking clad feet as he kissed and sucked her toes as she watched, she could feel his breath from across the room being drawn in and released with her own, that’s when she knew that he was the one, he’d be the next to serve her, that was the feeling she needed to feel, the passion and desire within.

Walking over to him she left her eyes move along his tall frame, he towered her easily but she liked that it made her feel even more powerful, her hand raised as she placed her latex finger and thumb to his chin turning his head towards her, “Look at me,” she demanded.

Her free hand moved down his chest, stomach following that fine line of hair as her gloved fingers curled around the base of his cock moving along it slowly adding pressure to her fingertips to see if he responded to her touch.

Her eyes of dark blue focused upon his define features, her fingers moved about the soft head of his cock and then back down as she released his meat and pressed it upwards, her eyes only leaving his for a brief second as her looked to his nice sized sac, impressed with the package.

Her breath warm as it moved over his flesh, her eyes meeting his once more, “You are what I desire.” She whispered to him.
 
Gary stood stoically still as one-by-one, each of the women and men in the small group with Maria approached him. His gaze met each of theirs, though there was no true defiance in his gaze, only mild curiosity. With each new one that approached, Maria dished out the punishment that she was so attuned to handing out. Not a word left his mouth, nor a gasp or cry at the pain. No, long ago had Gary been acclimated to all forms of submission, work, pleasure, and pain.

One-by-one, each member of the group assessed his worth and passed him by. Most telling Maria that his body had sustained too much damage for their tastes. As the group moved on, Gary lowered his head once more. There was not defeat in either his eyes or his posture, only acceptance.

Then another person approached him. Her steps were snappy and confident, accented so by the high heels she wore. Gary dwarfed this new woman by well over six inches. She didn't seem to hesitate though. Two fingers trapped his chin and turned his head towards her. “Look at me.” she demanded.

Gary offered up no resistance as she turned his head. His shining blue eyes met her dark blue ones, and she held his gaze, both with her hand on his chin, and the look in her eye.

Her free hand moved down his chest, stomach following that fine line of hair as her gloved fingers curled around the base of his cock moving along it slowly adding pressure. Gary's entire body shuddered from the pleasure that he was so unused to feeling alone. Many time's he'd felt pleasure combined with pain, but it had been a long time since he'd felt pleasure alone. As his body shivered from the sensations she cause, his cock swelled quickly under her touch, becoming rapidly erect for her. Only a gasp came from his mouth though, nothing more.

Silence was his best defense against the sadists who usually bought him, and it was a defense he knew well.

Her fingers moved about the soft head of his cock and then back down as she released his meat and pressed it upwards, her eyes only leaving his for a brief second as her looked to his nice sized sac.

Her breath was warm as it moved over his flesh, her eyes meeting his once more. “You are what I desire.” She whispered to him. Gary held the woman's gaze with his own, a curiosity starting to burn in that intelligent blue gaze. His head nodded slowly, but his eyes never left her. Gary wasn't sure what the woman would make of his silence, thinking it strength or fear, but it was a defense long since perfected, and not so easily discarded.
 
Scarlet wasn’t looking for words to be spoken from his lips, he remained quiet but his body responded quickly, and that was one thing she looked for, she liked a man who’s cock could easily be deceived by the mind of his owner.

She liked how he looked within her eyes instead of down or away, her eyes moved over him again as she released him from her hands stepping to the side as she used her hand to turn him slightly as he moved a hand over her upper back, and then down along his spine, and over his cheeks, he seemed healthy to the eye, the marks caught her attention as her latex fingers caressed over them, the flesh raised like brands placed from a previous owner or owners, which may have meant he was one that was hard to control or very disobedient.

Taking a stand back she cocked her head, raising her hand to her chin as she eyes him up, he was still aroused, as she snickered a bit, he was a decent size for being semi hard, she imagined what he was in length fully aroused.

Turning her back she walked away and resumed looking over the rest, walking in the middle about those dangling on display, her nose wrinkled as she did the same to then as she did him, she sighed softly and stepped from the young slave’s sight.

Her heels tapped as she walked, the sound echoed within the walls of the dungeon, she crooked her finger to a small pale scantly dressed female and spoke quietly with her and the girl nodded and went to get Maria.

Maria smiled as she hugged her old friend up, she nodded and handed her a collar and short leash explaining she knew nothing much about the slave’s past he was given to her to sell. Scarlet took the collar and leash within her hand, she would settle with Maria the following day as she always did in the past.

Their heels sounded as they walked towards him, he could easily overpower Scarlet but she had no fear of him. She reached up and wrapped the collar around his neck, and placed the padlock on and then the leash to the ring and stepped back as Maria handed the key to two other male slaves and watched as they freed him from his binds.

Scarlet stood there for a minute letting him adjust to the collar, letting him move about to stretch his muscles to see is he’ll pull and try to run.

“Thank you Maria I think I can handle it from here my sister.”

“Always a pleasure Scarlet, good luck,” she turned and went back to the other’s leaving Scarlet there along with her new pet.
 
Gary watched the woman before him as she watched him. His eyes studied her, but his face remained impassive. He watched her as she then turned and inspected each male slave in the vicinity in much the same way as she had inspected him. A faint sigh pass Gary's lips as the woman left his sight and walked away. For a brief moment he had hoped she would buy him, or at least try him out, but his head lowered once more as her footsteps faded.

Gary's head perked up again as he heard the footsteps again. He knew by the sound that there were two people now, and even with the second set, he could easily pick out Maria's approach.

Gary lifted his head up as she reached up, making it easier for her to wrap the collar around his neck. she then placed the padlock on and then the leash to the ring and stepped back as Maria handed the key to two other male slaves and watched as they freed him from his binds. Gary lowered his arms back to his sides, nearly flinching from the painful feeling of all the blood rushing back into his arms. He knew not how long it had been since he had been free.

Out of reflex Gary's hands moved to rub first one of his wrists, and then the other. They were raw and red from the shackles that had bound him, one final "gift" from his previous mistress before selling him.


“Thank you Maria I think I can handle it from here my sister.”


“Always a pleasure Scarlet, good luck.” She turned and went back to the others leaving Scarlet there along with him. Gary didn't move from his spot, he didn't bow or kneel. It wouldn't be the first time he had been punished for doing the wrong thing, even in a first encounter. Gary just did as the woman had seemed to prefer. He looked her in the eye, his shining blue gaze meeting her dark blue gaze. There was still curiosity in his eyes, wondering where they would go from here.
 
Scarlet looked over him as he rubbed about his red wrists, looking to his ankles as she took in a breath, she herself never treated even the most incorrigible slave or sub as somebody or someone’s have treated this one.

She turned and tugged lightly upon the leash, as she began to walk among those in the center dangling from shackles, looking one last time to see if anything appealed to her like this one did. Her nose wrinkled as she stopped and dropped her eyes down among another male slave, this one seeming younger than the one on the end of her leash, that didn’t quite meet what she preferred.

The stone hallway was wide and dark, dim small lights lit the long corridor by each door, one on the top left as well as the right, each door led to a ‘play room’ for Master’s or Mistress’s to try out a new pet if they so desired, to Scarlet most did it just to get their rocks off then toss them back and claim they didn’t suit their needs as the bitch held a belly full of cum from the ‘test’.

That was never her style, Scarlet picked hers carefully, if there wasn’t that feeling within, then she would have passed and went home empty handed, there were far too many auctions to attend to find what she wished.

As they neared the main doors she was handed her trench, a tall male slave opened the door as a car pulled up moments later. He stepped out and opened the back door allowing her to slide in first as she tugged the leash for her new toy to follow as she pointed to the seat across from hers.

She watched him duck and slides his naked flesh upon the seat as the door closed quickly behind him. Scarlet said nothing; there was a dead silence between them as she poured herself a drink, light jazz played through the back area of the car as she took a sip of the red wine, and held a bottle of cold water towards him letting him take it or pass it up leaving it up to him as she crossed her legs and sat back taking a deep breath as the night sky grew darker and darker as she could feel a storm getting ready to settle in.
 
Gary watched the woman turn from him, and the moment he felt the pressure on the leash he moved to follow. He made sure to always be at least a few steps behind to avoid stepping on her feet.

It felt weird for Gary, to be walking down the center aisle past so many others in a situation so like himself. He felt sorry for them and inwardly wondered what had brought them to their individual fates. Gary stopped when the woman did, holding his breath as she studied another male, smaller and younger than himself. It wasn't until she started moving again that he let out that breath.

As they neared the main doors she was handed her trenchcoat, a tall male slave opened the door as a car pulled up moments later. He stepped out and opened the back door allowing her to slide in first as she tugged the leash for her new toy to follow as she pointed to the seat across from hers. Gary blushed slightly at her gesture for him to take a seat. It had been years since he'd sat in a chair or on a couch or seat.

Gary shivered a little, becoming aware once more of the fact that he was naked. He ducked his head and sat down in the seat she had gestured to. Already this encounter had started off very different from all of his past sellings.

The woman said nothing; there was a dead silence between them as she poured herself a drink, light jazz played through the back area of the car as she took a sip of the red wine, and held a bottle of cold water towards him. Gary looked long and hard at that bottle before finally deciding. Almost tentatively he reached out his hand and grasped it, his fingers barely brushing hers before she released it. Gary bowed his head in gratitude for the water. Gary tried to think as optimistically as he could, but things rarely ended up as good as he hoped. It was for that reason that he didn't thank the woman properly for the gift of water.

Gary turned his head to look out the window the night sky was dark, the breeze brisk, and the temperature cold. Gary shivered again, but said nothing, simply taking a few long gulps of the water. The silence would have seemed unbearable to some, but Gary showed nothing of the sort, the only difference that would be noted was the way his eyes kept darting from the window to his new owner. He wandered about her, and it showed in his eyes.
 
Scarlet felt his hand take the bottles water from it as she caught his shiver, she reached up and turned the heat on and let the warmth fill the car, she leaned her head back and just let the new slave settle himself in, she felt back and would have offered her trench but knew it wouldn’t have even covered a portion of his body.

Her eyes closed as she relaxed letting the jazz sooth her soul, it was a tough day for her, her business was booming, not enough help, everyone was demanding something for nothing, she lost her best toy, and honestly understood why, and couldn’t blame him as he found his soul mate, something that she never did.

The driver pressed the button as the gates to the estate opened before they even arrived before them, no need to stop as he pulled through them and watched as they closed behind the car as he pulled up the long semi brightly lit drive.

He stopped the car before the big modern mansion, getting out he opened the opposite door first and offered her a hand and helped her out, she nodded and tugged the leash as she waited for him to remove himself from the car and then proceeded to walk around and up the front steps where she was greeted by an older female dressed in a plain maids uniform.

“Evening Mistress Scarlet,” she said as the Madam of the manor nodded and walked by leading her slave behind her, the housekeeper eyed the man up as she closed the door, he was far from the first to enter naked and she was sure he’d not be the last.

“June, please see that a room is made for him” Scarlet said as she headed up the marble steps with him behind her.

“Yes Mistress,” she replied and rushed off as Scarlet led him up the curved wide stone staircase.

Scarlet still didn’t address her new slave; she kept the leash tight letting no slack fall between them. She turned and walked down a long hallway, turning to the right she opened a door and turned on the light, entering she released his leash and left him follow by choice as she took a seat behind a huge mahogany desk.

Hitting the numbers on the phone as she picked the receiver up she listened to her voice mail allowing him freedom to see what he does as she returns and few calls. Her eyes glanced to him now and then as she watched June appear at the doorway.

June waited till Scarlet was done and spoke.

“Mistress the room is ready now.”

“Thank you June, you’re dismissed for the evening, please get some sleep, you’re looking tired this night.”

“Yes Ma’am,” she said and scurried off.

Scarlet scribbled down a few notes and then moved from behind he desk to her bedroom two doors down, grabbing his leash handle from against his chest as she did.

She led him into her bedroom, spacious with a huge adjoining bathroom in which both were decorated in various shades of pinks and floral patterns, showing a very feminine side. The leather handle to his leash slipped from her latex covered tips, as she sat down on her high king sized bed and began to remove her boots, the gloves and then the cat suit as she stood before him naked.

Reaching up her fingers felt for the twin combs that held up her long hair, removing them it tumbled down her chest and back, she never once looked to him as she knew he was watching her from time to time.

Reaching out she lifted the red silk long rode from the tall post at the end of her bed and slipped it on and tied it tightly as she walked over to him, taking the handle to the leash once again within her fingers and led him to a set of double doors, opening them she revealed a decent sized bedroom and bathroom, Scarlet led him into the room and turned as she held the key to his lock in her free hand as she walked behind him, stood upon her tip toes and unlocked the lock with a click and removed the collar from about his neck as she placed it on a hook aside the door.
 
Gary watched as the woman reached up and turned the heat on and let the warmth fill the car. He sighed at the warmth and let himself relax a bit more into the seat. Gary was surprised at her caring, though he appreciated it all the same.

Gary heard the sounds of the gates opening, and he turned his head to look at them as the car drove by. The driveway was long and semi-brightly lit.

The car stopped before a big modern mansion, The driver got out and opened the opposite door first and offered her a hand and helped her out, she nodded and tugged the leash as she waited for him to remove himself from the car and then proceeded to walk around and up the front steps where she was greeted by an older female dressed in a plain maids uniform.

Gary was made aware once more of the fact that he was naked where they were not. This was made especially clear as he noticed the other woman eyed him up and down.

“Evening Mistress Scarlet,” she said as the Madam of the manor nodded and walked by leading her slave behind her, the housekeeper eyed the man up as she closed the door.

“June, please see that a room is made for him”
Scarlet said as she headed up the marble steps with him behind her.

“Yes Mistress,” she replied and rushed off as Scarlet led him up the curved wide stone staircase.

Gary marveled at those words the whole way up the stairs. His own room? God how long had it been since he'd had that luxury?

Scarlet still didn’t address her new slave; she kept the leash tight letting no slack fall between them. Gary followed quickly, already understanding why she let no slack into the leash. She turned and walked down a long hallway, turning to the right she opened a door and turned on the light, entering she released his leash and left him follow by choice as she took a seat behind a huge mahogany desk.

Gary was almost at a loss of what to do as Mistress Scarlet picked up the phone and made a few calls. In the end he drifted over to the bookcase against the far wall. He didn't dare touch, but his eyes scanned the shelves.

“Mistress the room is ready now.”

“Thank you June, you’re dismissed for the evening, please get some sleep, you’re looking tired this night.”

“Yes Ma’am,” she said and scurried off.

She led him into her bedroom, spacious with a huge adjoining bathroom in which both were decorated in various shades of pinks and floral patterns, showing a very feminine side. The leather handle to his leash slipped from her latex covered tips, as she sat down on her high king sized bed and began to remove her boots, the gloves and then the cat suit as she stood before him naked.

All the while Mistress Scarlet undressed, Gary's eyes studied her. She was older than he, but that didn't detract from her appearance at all. She was beautiful in her entirety, especially when she let her hair fall out of the bun. Gary almost gasped at the way it cascaded down her chest and back. His cock swelled a little as he watched her, not fully erect, but enough to cause him some slight duress.

Reaching out she lifted the red silk long rode from the tall post at the end of her bed and slipped it on and tied it tightly as she walked over to him, taking the handle to the leash once again within her fingers and led him to a set of double doors, opening them she revealed a decent sized bedroom and bathroom, Scarlet led him into the room and turned as she held the key to his lock in her free hand as she walked behind him, stood upon her tip toes and unlocked the lock with a click and removed the collar from about his neck as she placed it on a hook aside the door.

Gary was almost lost when Mistress Scarlet unlocked and removed his collar. He didn't know what to do or where to go in this room that was now his. Of it's own volition, Gary drifted over to the bed. It wasn't nearly so large and impressive as Mistress Scarlet's, but it was his, and that was more than he'd had in a long time. Gary turned back to her, one hand still resting on the neatly pressed sheets.

Gary opened his mouth to speak, but seemed to think better of it. He closed it, still holding Mistress Scarlet's gaze with his own. What was one to say when freed from a life of slavery in a dungeon and taken to a lavish house and given a room? Gary couldn't form the words with his mouth, but the question was fairly obvious in his eyes. They asked, 'What now?'.
 
Scarlet leaned against the door frame leading into what was now his bedroom, her eyes never left his form as she stood there without saying a word, watching him move towards the bed and settle his hand upon the crisp clean sheets as he turned his head and looked to her as she watched a few strands drop forth over his forehead.

Turning about she watched June bring up a tray with a sandwich and beverage upon it and a pile of chips, Scarlet nodded to her, “Thank you June, retire soon.”

“Yes Ma’am,” she responded as she placed the tray on the table before the window and looked to the new male.

Scarlet turned and walked away as she retired for the night, shedding her robe as she crawled naked between the sheets, pulling them up over her body till they settled at her mid drift.

June pulled the duel doors closed to the adjacent bedroom, letting Scarlet in the darkness as she closed her eyes and fell asleep.

~ ~ ~​

June looked him over as she placed her hands on her hips, seeing the marks left from pervious owners. “You must be hungry, come eat. Mistress would be upset if you didn’t.” she said looking to him as she sized him up.

Walking around she opened the door to the bathroom, shower and shave in here, fresh linens on the closet shelf. ‘Morrow we get you clothing to wear around as Mistress prefers very little but covered.” June said as she moved to the door to the room.

“I will be back in the morning to get the tray and show you around.” Her hand moved to the knob and began to turn it slowly as she looked back over her shoulder and looked directly within his eyes, “She’s good people your choice to stay or go, she won’t hold you by chains, think wisely.” June said as she walked out the single door to the room into the hallway and down to her own room, to retire for the night.
 
Gary wondered inwardly as they watched each other, which one of them would speak first. The appearance of June however, shattered the silence once more.

June carried a tray with a sandwich and beverage upon it and a pile of chips, Scarlet nodded to her, “Thank you June, retire soon.”

“Yes Ma’am,” she responded as she placed the tray on the table before the window and looked at him.

Scarlet turned and walked away as she retired for the night. June pulled the duel doors closed to the adjacent bedroom.

June looked him over as she placed her hands on her hips, seeing the marks left from previous owners. “You must be hungry, come eat. Mistress would be upset if you didn’t.” she said looking to him as she sized him up.

Gary nodded, his stomach also agreeing with a low rumble. He walked slowly towards the window as June walked towards the door opposite the one that led to Scarlet's.

Gary took a seat in the chair, but turned it a bit so he could watch June. One hand scooped up the sandwich, while the other grabbed a couple of chips. He ate quietly as June spoke.

Walking around she opened the door to the bathroom, "Shower and shave in here, fresh linens on the closet shelf. ‘Morrow we get you clothing to wear around as Mistress prefers very little but covered.” June said as she moved to the door to the room.

“I will be back in the morning to get the tray and show you around.” Her hand moved to the knob and began to turn it slowly as she looked back over her shoulder and looked directly within his eyes, “She’s good people your choice to stay or go, she won’t hold you by chains, think wisely.” June said as she walked out the single door to the room into the hallway and down to her own room, to retire for the night.

Gary ate in silence, thinking over June's words. Already so much about Scarlet was different as compared to every other mistress he had had. He was sitting on a chair in a room deemed his own eating a sandwich while preparing to lay in his bed. It all seemed too good to be true.

When he finished his sandwich, Gary moved once more to the bed, pulling back the covers and tentatively crawling between the sheets. He almost expected Scarlet to burst through the door, whip in hand, to punish him for his insolence. No such reprisal came however, and he soon lay comfortably between the sheets, his head resting on one of the many pillows.

Gary slept soon after settling into the bed, but unfortunately, his night didn't end as well as it had begun. What was normally the appearance of control soon was thrashing on the bed, caught in the throes of a nightmare.

His arms were over his head, wrists together, locked in imaginary shackles. His head thrashed from side to side. Gary's body glistened with sweat as his back and body arched with each imaginary blow that was struck in the visions only he could see. Gary screamed a word, just one word, over and over again. That word was hope.
 
Scarlet never required much sleep, she woke and went into her office and began to work on a business proposal, her mind never stopped turning, as she crunched numbers trying to save her cost of materials and such, her head lifted as she heard the yelling coming from her slave’s room.

Getting from behind her desk she walked down the hallway and opened the door, the hall light shined upon him as she watched him, the way his arms were above his head, as she noticed the shackle formation seeing it many times in her dungeon ad others. She watched him thrash upon his bed, his flesh glistened with sweat as he called out a word, it took her a few times till she was able to understand it, and assumed it was a name of either a previous Mistress or a girl.

Walking into the room she carefully tapped him upon the shoulder and waited till he woke from her touch and once he did she turned and walked out closing the door behind her, no words said, she just left and went back to her work with a soft sigh.

There were so many questions to be asked but not the time to do so, she wanted him to settle in and when he felt comfortable enough to speak he’d speak, she wasn’t about to force him. She wasn’t the one to be broken, he was.

Scarlet checked her planner, a meeting at 7AM sharp with overseas business men, and lunch with Maria to take care of the cost for her slave, as always they met the next day and talked about events coming up, and idly chatter about this and that. She rubbed her eyes and held her head within her hands feeling a headache coming on. That was about the time her previous slave would walk in and tend to her needs, whatever her whim was he would do with no questions asked.

How she missed him, he was more than a slave, a friend, lover, everything, she hated to treat those in that position like mere meat, that’s not in her eyes the way it was to be, no need to beat and burn another or even to humiliate unless needed and there were times it was and there were times such things deemed to be humiliation and really wasn’t.
 
Gary's body thrashed of it's own accord, his mind lost in the throes of his nightmare. Then he felt something, a brief something that barely penetrated the dream. More and more though he felt it, and finally Scarlet's touch finally broke him from the nightmare. He knew then what it had been, and he likewise knew what she had seen and heard. It was for that reason that Gary stared after her as she left, astonished that she hadn't said a word or even punished him for disturbing her.

Gary didn't get back to sleep that night, afraid that his mind would once more lose itself to the nightmare he had so often. As it was, he just lay there, between the soft sheets, basking in the comfort he was so rarely allotted.

When June arrived to take his tray, he rose to his feet, uncaring about his nudity in her presence. She had already seen him naked. There wasn't much point to hiding it now.

June showed Gary around the house, pointing out things of notice, where he could and couldn't go. He was impressed with the sheer size of the house. All through the tour, Gary's mind churned with thoughts of Scarlet. He knew now why she hadn't spoken yet. She was going to wait for him to speak, force him to bend before she did. It was understandable of course, just weird. Most mistresses he had been sold to had either tired of his silence early and resold him, or tried to beat his silence out of him.

When it came time for lunch, June led him to the door of the dining room, where he had been informed, that Scarlet and Maria were eating and talking. June left him there, telling him he could enter when he was ready. She then left him there, standing in the pair of jeans they had picked out for him.

Gary lingered there, just outside that door. It took every ounce of his will to finally lift his hand and push the swinging door open. The heads of both ladies turned towards him as he entered. Gary desperately wanted to run, but it wouldn't do any good. He moved to stand beside the table, with a mistress on each side of him. For the first time since his arrival, Gary bowed his head and spoke. "Permission to speak mistress?" His voice was soft, but not weak. It was like everything else about him, strong in appearance, but gentle in it's own way.
 
Scarlet dressed in a tight form fitting business suit, the skirt hugged her hips black in color to match the short waist jacket, the crisp freshly ironed and starched white low cut blouse tucked in showing her breasts as the almost poured from the top. Her legs were covered with a sheer black stocking with a tight lacy top that went mid thigh, on her feet were a black stiletto pump, she sighed as she sat in the meeting ruling with an iron hand as she spoke to those men about her.

She couldn’t wait till it was over, she hated talking money if she wasn’t making it which wasn’t the issue at hand, it was more starting a new line in her overseas operation taking a chance with a local European designer that really didn’t do much for her but turn her off, but the other’s thought he would prove himself with a fall line he had designed.

Scarlet didn’t; cave on her decision, she told the men she wanted to see the protos first and she would decide from there, and with that she concluded the meeting and had her driver take her home.

Once home she slipped from her suit and into a short dark green leisure dress, that felt soft against her flesh, she stripped herself of her thigh highs and exchanged her black heels for green to match her dress, she placed her hair up tight on the back of her head and headed down to the lanai looking out over the lush green grass, as she smiled seeing the table being set for the luncheon.

Stepping back into the house she walked over to the bar, stepping behind it she poured herself a glass of red wine and settled back outside to just relax. Her legs crossed as she looked around, the crystal clear water of the pool looked inviting, later she thought.

Maria was shone to the lanai where she and Scarlet enjoyed a peaceful lunch and caught out on politics of the ‘inner’ circle, they discussed the new slave, and talked about how they hadn’t spoke one word since she bought him, just ignoring him to break him.

“Girl you’re to nice to these bitch boys, you need to reign with a harder hand, or you’re going to end up just like you did with this last one you released.” Maria said as she shook her head.

“Maria, you like that heavy hand, I don’t, I remember back when I served henrys and then Dale, how I was much more eager to serve one that showed me kindness, I would have walked over hot coals if he asked. I learned a lot from him verses Henry who took it as far as abusing me, I’m sorry no Dominate needs to teach like he did. It’s where we are completely different my sister.” She responded as they changed the subject knowing that was one area they always bumped heads in.

Neither female turned their heads around when the door opened, hearing it and more ignoring it thinking is was just the help to clear the table. Scarlet caught her new slave from the corner of her eye as she watched as Maria turned her head letting her eyes roam his body.

Scarlet stared forth as she stood between them she could see his head bow as she heard his voice for the first time; she broke him of his silence as she then spoke, “Permission granted, Speak slave,” she said with a direct stern voice never turning to look at him, wanting to keep that upper hand.
 
“Permission granted, Speak slave,”

Gary heard the tone in Scarlet's voice, and where many might have flinched at it, he took it stoically and in stride like he always did. His response was immediate.

"I wanted to apologize for my disturbance earlier. That's something I can't control, much as I wish I could. Likewise I wanted to offer myself up to you and your questions. I know that Mistress Maria wasn't told anything about me when I was sold. Anything you would know of me is yours to ask."

Gary kept his head bowed, much as he wished he could look Scarlet or Maria in the eye at that very moment. He had just spoken about the longest string of words he had spoken in the past five years. It was his turn to put himself out there, unknowing what she might say, do, or ask.
 
Scarlet reached and curled her fingers around her wine glass taking a sip as she watched the breeze blow through the high grass at the far part of her yard, the decorative plumes blowing to and from on their long thin stems.

From the corner of her eye she watched as he bowed his head, and sighed softly after licking her red painted lips tasting the wine. She also noted he was groomed as she would have liked, he’ll need to get on June for that, he should have been bathed, hair trimmed and shaven before even approaching her.

She listened to him speak for the first time, he broke down as she heard the soft tone of his voice almost expecting a deep tone, but it wasn’t, she enjoyed hearing him though she wasn’t ready to crack yet.

Without looking to him she spoke to him for the first time since the dungeon when they met, “I’m sure June showed you the bathroom, and told you were fresh linens were, I expect you to use what you have and return to your room and take care of your grooming, and I want a trimmed male not bald, not wild hair all over…anywhere. I expect next time you come forth to me that you’re well groomed is this understood? If so …dismissed.” Scarlet said.
 
“I’m sure June showed you the bathroom, and told you were fresh linens were, I expect you to use what you have and return to your room and take care of your grooming, and I want a trimmed male not bald, not wild hair all over…anywhere. I expect next time you come forth to me that you’re well groomed is this understood? If so …dismissed.”

"Yes mistress." Came the response. It wasn't annoyed or aggravated as many might have been. His voice was calm and accepting. He had dealt with this his entire life, he was more than used to it.

Gary turned and left. His footfalls were silent, and only the swinging door marked his passing. He returned to his room and moved to his bathroom. Gary stripped down in front of the mirror, examining himself. He was a little bit more lean than he would have liked, caused by his extended stay in Maria's dungeon, but other than that he looked good. His chest and arms were strong, not the veiny appearance caused from steroid abuse, but smooth all over except for the scars. His shoulders were broad, and the rest of his body was wiry and perfect. When his mistress-at-the-time allowed, Gary enjoyed both a weight room and a pool, to keep his body strong and fit.

With a final nod and a soft sigh, Gary turned from the mirror, trying not to notice the many scars on his own back as he turned. He grabbed a towel from the cupboard and hung it up inside the shower. He turned on the water, adjusted it's temperature, and finally pulled up on the knob and let the shower wash over him. He sighed softly at it's warmth.

Gary knew better to linger however. He quickly double washed his washed his hair, scooped up the soap, and thoroughly washed his entire body. Only when all traces of the sweat were gone did he finally stop and turn off the water. Next up came the trim, a task that would have unnerved most men. Still, Gary was used to this as well. Some had wanted him shaved all over, and others just the trim like Scarlet preferred. It took him some time to find everything that he needed, but when it was all said and doe, the hair on his head was dry and shining, his arms, legs, and underarms shaved, as was the hair on his stomach. Lastly, came the hair on his testicles and groin. He took his time there, as many would expect. When he was finished, his newly bared balls shown in the light.

When he was finished with as much of the grooming as he could do alone, Gary redressed and went to find June. When he found her, he employed her help in trimming the hair on his head. When all was said and done, and Gary approached Scarlet once more, his hair was cut shorter, into a bit of a bowl cut, and the hair on his neck shaved to a one. His hair was short, but enough for a person to fist their hand in, something June had tested many times to be sure.

when Gary next passed through the door where Maria and Scarlet were still chatting, his head was bowed from the moment he passed through the door. He moved to where he had been before, beside the table. "Ready for inspection mistress." He said in that same soft voice.
 
Scarlet took care of the money transaction for her new ‘pet’, watching as the woman recounted it at Scarlet’s request. She watched as her fiend and sister Domme placed it safely away, watching as she took her cut though first, a smart woman always does when dealing with a man in exchange.

“You like him don’t you? You always had a thing for the under dog types, those that we call strays.”

Scarlet snickered and drank the last swallow of wine in her glass savoring the flavor as she swallowed it and placed the glass down, “Look at all those I’ve had over the years Maria, most were what you have called strays, and how many ever left me down? Only a few, and those well, I knew from the start we’re not to my liking, mere gifts from other, or won possessions. There is something about him that I like that makes a burning within me, rare finds.”

“Rare finds Sister? More like damaged goods, toss a ways, one’s that you use and toss back to the next on the block.” Maria responded.

“Well then I guess it’s lucky I bought him then, saving him from the clutches of those like to speak of, like Abigail that leads with a hard hand, needs to give pain and not pleasure. She hates males, so why does she bother? Power and control, the wrong kind. Look at June, abused and beaten to a pulp and now, a beauty that serves well, always compliments about her. I think you see my point.”

“You have a point and with that point I need to go, I have my own to tend to today, a restless one that need a firm hand.” She stated just as the door opened again turning her head with a raised brow.

“He cleans up well it seems. Perhaps a gem in the rough.” She said as she stood up and looked him over. “Be well Sister we shall see you Friday evening, ladies night at my home, I do hope you attend.” With that said she walked towards the doors, taking a glance as the boy and walked out.

Scarlet turned and looked him over as he shadowed her, his hair was washed and trimmed, his face cleanly shaven, his body tight, little on the thin side but that was easily fixed with hot meals.

“Step back slave,” she said in a direct tone and walked as he did as told.

Scarlet walked around him, her soft fingertips moved along his freshly cleaned flesh, her nails drug lightly leaving no marks behind as she touched him for the first time. Stopping before him she undid his pants, her fingertips tugged the zipper as she parted them open and felt his trimmed pubic area, “very nice,” she said as she tug the jeans down to mid thigh and looked him over more intently.

Her hand slipped between his thighs as she cupped his weighted sac, feeling the smoothness of his fleshy pouch, “You did well, impressive.” Her fingers curled around the base of his shaft as she moved her hand along him, just feeling him as her fingers toyed with the head of his meat as she leaned in letting him take in her scent as she whispered to his ear, “when did slave last cum?”

As she waited the answer she gripped his pole tighter in her fingers, as she stroked him.
 
“He cleans up well it seems. Perhaps a gem in the rough.” Maria of course, always direct and to the point. She stood up and looked him over. “Be well Sister we shall see you Friday evening, ladies night at my home, I do hope you attend.” With that said she walked towards the doors.

Gary didn't turn back to her, knowing better than to make such a mistake.

“Step back slave,” She said in a direct tone and walked as he did as told.

Scarlet walked around him, her soft fingertips moved along his freshly cleaned flesh, her nails drug lightly leaving no marks behind as she touched him for the first time. Stopping before him she undid his pants, her fingertips tugged the zipper as she parted them open and felt his trimmed pubic area, “Very nice.” she said as she tug the jeans down to mid thigh and looked him over more intently.

All through the inspection thus far, Gary said nothing, and didn't move as she did as she wished, touching where she pleased, and disrobing him at her leisure.

Her hand slipped between his thighs as she cupped his weighted sac, feeling the smoothness of his fleshy pouch, “You did well, impressive.” There was no stopping the soft moan that came from Gary's lips as Scarlet cupped his newly bared balls in her soft and perfect hand. Her fingers curled around the base of his shaft as she moved her hand along him, just feeling him as her fingers toyed with the head of his meat as she leaned in letting him take in her scent as she whispered to his ear, “when did slave last cum?”

Gary was quivery all over, her hands touching skin that hadn't been bared in years. As she waited the answer she gripped his pole tighter in her fingers, as she stroked him. For anybody else, the pleasure after such a stint as his might have made him speechless, but without missing a beat, Gary responded, "Almost four months mistress."

Gary had felt a surge through his cock when Scarlet had first touched his balls, and another when her hand first touched the sensitive head of his cock. He was firming rapidly under her expert touch, becoming erect for her. He let out little gasps as her fingers brushed over the sensitive tip of his cock, though he didn't move, didn't resist, and never flinched.
 
She felt his cock harden slowly to her touch, “Its been quite some time then slave, quite impressed that you have not in such a lengthy time most men would be aching to cum, the pain in their balls, the needing that release.” As she spoke her fingers loosened up as she moved him through her hand. He fingers trailed along his muscular arm, and down to his hand, she moved her eyes over him slowly as she stayed on his meat with her hand.

The tips of her nails moved to his hip from there she trailed along his side admiring his physical build. Stepping behind him she looked over his back as her fingers and thumb massaged the tip, pushing him more and more. He stood there before her letting her touch him as she pleased and didn’t move but one muscle as Scarlet was sure that was uncontrollable at this point for him.

Her fingers curled back around his shaft as she slide her hand down, so smooth against his rigid shaft, she massaged the base as her hand moved to his back moving it up slowly and across his shoulder blades and back down as she stroked him slow and steadily. Her other hand caressed his firm cheeks, giving a nice little smack to onto right and then a grip with her small hand, “Nice and firm.” She said as her hand moved to his sac from behind as she grabbed it and massaged it feeling the weight, letting both hand work him as she breathed upon his back, hot lingering breaths.

Not giving up upon him she looked over the scars, and sighed softly, enjoying the feel of his thickness growing in her hand, as well as the nice full sac in the other. “Slave these marks where did they come from?” she asked as her body pressed to his, her breasts to his back as she manipulated him with her hands, adding a faster pace to hear his breaths change as he stood there for her.

“I’m sure by now you know I don’t believe in treating one badly, unless deserved. My help were all once my slaves, and in a way they still are in many ways, yet they walk freely through my home, June will tell you, she’ll never leave her Mistress, ask her the story behind her arrival here, almost like yours in a sense.”
 
“Its been quite some time then slave, quite impressed that you have not in such a lengthy time most men would be aching to cum, the pain in their balls, the needing that release.” As she spoke her fingers loosened up as she moved him through her hand.

The sensations were near indescribable. Her one hand so soft, probing all over, and her other hand stroking his cock so fully, squeezing and stroking.

“Slave these marks where did they come from?” She asked as her body pressed to his, her breasts to his back as she manipulated him with her hands. Gary moaned, but for a couple reasons. One was the heightened pace of her hands on his cock and balls, both squeezing a bit while one stroked. He also moaned because of the thoughts rolling through his head. He remembered how he had gotten them, but he the memories were far from pleasant.

“I’m sure by now you know I don’t believe in treating one badly, unless deserved. My help were all once my slaves, and in a way they still are in many ways, yet they walk freely through my home, June will tell you, she’ll never leave her Mistress, ask her the story behind her arrival here, almost like yours in a sense.”

Gary's breath was coming faster and faster, the pleasure threatening to cloud his reason, and disorientate him. When at last he could take it no more, Gary lowered his hands to covering Scarlet's where they rested on his body. He held them still, knowing he was practically inviting inviting punishment upon himself.

"My former mistress gave me these scars. She teased me and played with me much as you are now mistress. My hands were bound, and hers roamed free, teasing me for hours. She hovered so close it was unbearable. I made a mistake then. I was blind-folded, but I knew where she was. I lost control for one brief moment and I begged her for release, but in that moment of lust and passion, I spoke her name and leaned forward, stealing a kiss from her lips." Gary's head bowed, unable to look Scarlet in the eye.

"She whipped me with the harshest lash she had. I took it for as long as I could and then longer, trying to please her with my submission to her punishment. When she did not stop, I used my safe word. She ignored me and kept punishing me. She broke me. I screamed and begged and she did not stop. She ignored my screams. She ignored our safe word. I do not know when she finally stopped. When I regained consciousness, I was in the hospital."

Gary knew he had told Scarlet enough, but he couldn't stop himself from explaining what she had already heard. "My safe word, was hope."
 
Scarlet listened to how his breaths changed as her hands worked him, as he spoke, no pleased with his comparison to his former Mistress, that was one thing she didn’t care for and if anything pissed her off it was that. She watched his head drop as he spoke, answering her question as she shook her head.

“Remove your hands from mine slave,” she said with firmness. “Don’t ever stop me unless told, is this understood? I give you freedom to roam my home, which is now yours as well, I bought you and you are my possession to do with as I please. That is your first mistake and will be your last slave.”

Scarlet gripped his sac harder from behind, her fingers squeezed till the fleshy pouch pushed from around her small hand. “I shall do with you as I please.”

Pulling her hands from him feeling his slip from upon hers she walked before him and stood there, his size was a turn on compared to hers but when it came to discipline that no longer came to mind, nor did she fear him as she pressed herself to him, looking directly into his eyes, her face tight as her breath washed over his, “When I command you jump, when I touch you, you will not, and I mean will NOT stop me. Dismissed to your room now.” She barked as she stepped away and walked into the house and disappeared from his view.

Scarlet pressed upon the button and watched the false door slip aside as she walked down the gray stone steps, the stairwell lit dimly as that was the way she liked, it added the ambiance of her private sanction, her play area.

Reaching she touched another button and light lit up the large stone room, she walked through it hearing her heels sound upon the cold floor, looking around to the various pieces of furniture and toys lined along the walls, she inhaled and exhaled slowly.

She loathed those slaves that had no fight, and she knew he had it in him, and he just proved it when he spoke about his marks. She felt good in an odd way that he at least spoke the truth to her instead of bullshitting her with some story. The feistiness meant fire in their sexual appetite and ways, something she loved, that beast within as she herself had one just the same, and liked to be matched there.

It was getting later in the afternoon, she knew he needed some sort of punishment to get her point across, she sat within her handmade ‘throne’ as high back cherry wood chair that was carved with intricate patterns, and a lush cushion for her tight ass, to the left was a kneeling pillow for her most prized possession to kneel for all to see.

Looking over to it she sighed softly and hoped that this new pet would prove to be worthy enough to kneel at her left, the side closest to her heart. After supper she would punish him, she looked over the collars upon the wall, she liked them for more decoration but for him till she felt him out and he settled he needed more, till then she would leave him stew and think about what he had did, till he realized she was his Mistress, and she did as pleased to him, no matter how mild or how harsh.
 
“Remove your hands from mine slave,” she said with firmness. “Don’t ever stop me unless told, is this understood? I give you freedom to roam my home, which is now yours as well, I bought you and you are my possession to do with as I please. That is your first mistake and will be your last slave.”

Scarlet gripped his sac harder from behind, her fingers squeezed till the fleshy pouch pushed from around her small hand. “I shall do with you as I please.”


Gary recognized Scarlet's response, and the tone in her voice. As quickly as her voice turned hard and cold, his lips closed. Silence was his protection, his one shield. His hands moved as ordered. For all his strength, it was not in him to defy his mistress. In truth he needed her, needed her to command his actions and his pleasures. It had always been that way for him. He had been house-schooled from the start, sheltered from all outside influence. From the moment he turned ten, he had been a servant, fifteen marked his transition to a submissive, to any friend of his parents. Twenty marked the final transition to slave. There had always been a woman to command him, and he couldn't live without it, couldn't exist without it.

Without a fight, he pulled his hands away from hers as she pulled hers away from him. She walked before him and stood there pressing herself to him, looking directly into his eyes, her face tight as her breath washed over his, “When I command you jump, when I touch you, you will not, and I mean will NOT stop me. Dismissed to your room now.” She barked as she stepped away and walked into the house and disappeared from his view. Gary had nodded to her before she turned, but it didn't matter in the end.

Gary pulled up his pants and walked through the door, moving silently towards his room. When he arrived there, Gary was torn on where to sit. The bed would feel weird, and the chair similarly so. In the end he opened the door to his balcony and stood there, resting against the railing. There was no hate in his eyes, no anger or regret. He knew what he was, what he had always been. There was only acceptance in his shining blue eyes.
 
June walked up to his room, knocking on the door to let him know she was entering, Scarlet was a private person in home and she respected other’s just the same as everyone needed their own space. She looked him over and shook her head. “You will learn in the long run, we all do.”

Placing the tray down on the table she lifted the lid and let him smell the scent of the roast, “Don’t anger her, it isn’t a pretty sight when you do, not smart to push the luck when it’s been handed to you, so young and sometimes so stupid. Eat, I shall be back for the tray in thirty minutes, then I will show you where you are to be after that.”

June walked out the door, her head hung low as she shook it back and forth, “one day you will see,” she said as she walked out and down the hallway to serve her Mistress supper.

Setting the table she watched as Scarlet appeared as the door slid open, “Feeding him now Mistress. He’s just a boy Ma’am, so young and dumb he doesn’t know the ways yet, fire in his blood and anger, best be careful.”

June poured her a glass of wine as she watched Scarlet take her seat, crossing her long legs, “June, those marks sadden me, they remind me of the day I found you so long ago. I don’t wish a puppy on a leash, a servant yes, a boot licking slave no. I like that fire he has, the feistiness within him; he trusts no one and I cannot blame him. You been there, I’ve been there my own brand proves that. Its forever a memory, never to fade every time I see it, my stomach turns.”

“Maybe I was wrong for buying him, I don’t know.” She said as she took a bite and chewed it slowly pushing the rest around her plate.

“No, No you know better, you pick carefully for reasons, look at me,” she said with a chuckle.

June always made Scarlet feel better, she was one slave she never regretted buying. She watched as she scurried back into the kitchen and then heard her go up the steps.

June knocked again and entered his room, “its time,” she said and collected the tray, “follow me.”

When she returned back down the steps Mistress Scarlet was gone, she gathered the plate and headed into the kitchen with the slave at her heels, turning she exited and pressed the button watching the door side across and motioned him through it. She stopped at the stone landing just on the other side of the door and looked him over.

“Down the steps, just follow them they do spiral and there may or may not be light at the end, so walk cautiously.”

June stepped away and closed the door, letting him find his way down the dimly lit stairwell.

In the meantime, Scarlet shed her earlier clothing and dressed in a tight red and black waist clinching corset with her firm breasts exposed, a pair of cheeky type latex shorts to match, a spiked dog collar, and six inch spiked heels, her hair long hair was down and she sat in the middle of the dungeon, legs crossed with her red leather pump dangling from her bare toes.

Once she stood up he would be able to see the thin red latex belt around her waist with an assortment of bondage tools dangling down. The goodies included handcuffs, a slapper and a short cat-o-nine tail plus others various items. In her hand was a four foot long braided riding crop. She turned the lights out so it was pitch dark and waited his arrival.
 
Gary heard a knock on his door. He turned to it when it opened and was surprised to see June. She carried a tray of food. She looked him over and shook her head. “You will learn in the long run, we all do.”

Placing the tray down on the table she lifted the lid and let him smell the scent of the roast, “Don’t anger her, it isn’t a pretty sight when you do, not smart to push the luck when it’s been handed to you, so young and sometimes so stupid. Eat, I shall be back for the tray in thirty minutes, then I will show you where you are to be after that.”

Gary nodded and watched June leave he room. If only it were as simple as that. He knew he was lucky, but it didn't change what he had experienced before, so very many times before. He didn't hate her...couldn't hate her. He just didn't know if he could fully open up to her, or anybody else for that matter.

Reluctantly Gary sat down and ate, knowing he would likely need his strength for later. His thoughts however kept him from fully enjoying the meal.

June knocked again and entered his room, “its time,” She said and collected the tray, “follow me.” With a reserved sigh, Gary rose to his feet and followed after her.

June gathered the plate off the table and headed into the kitchen with Gary moving silently at her heels, turning she exited and pressed the button watching the door side across and motioned him through it. She stopped at the stone landing just on the other side of the door and looked him over.

“Down the steps, just follow them they do spiral and there may or may not be light at the end, so walk cautiously.”

Gary nodded slowly. He had a feeling he knew what was down those steps, and what awaited him, but that didn't change what he had to do. He moved onto the steps and listened to the door as it closed behind him. The stairs were dimly lit, but he could see well enough. He had had a lot of practice after all, seeing in a poorly lighted dungeon.

Slowly, with one hand on the wall, Gary walked down the steps. He felt for the next step each time with his foot, ensuring that he didn't trip or fall. When the wall slipped away from his hand, and his foot felt only smooth concrete, Gary knew he was here. It was pitch dark, but he knew she was there. She was there somewhere. With one last reserved sigh of acceptance, Gary moved forward, closing his eyes and feeling with his foot to make sure he didn't run into anything.
