A Bonding Experience Pt 10

All the usual disclaimers apply. For this part, I will add one more. There is no sex. I know that might make this a skip for a lot of folks. Someone asked me to continue the story though, so here it is.

A Bonding Experience -- Part 10

Judy loved the holidays. She walked around her house, inspecting it. Everything was neat, clean, uncluttered, and decorated. She was ready.

The last few years, the holidays had felt a bit off. She loved spending this time with her daughter, but the house felt empty with just the two of them.

That wouldn't be the case this year. Thanks to Tomieka, she no longer spent most of her time alone. The girl now lived with her. It seemed strange to replace her husband of fifteen years with a girl her daughter's age, but somehow it felt right.

And soon her daughter would be here, joined by Junko and Keke. Together, they made the most stable family Judy had ever had.

She knew how it looked. She knew how it sounded. She and her daughter's lovers were another mother and daughter. There were significant age gaps. Junko, who was like a second daughter to her now, was also in a relationship with her daughter and Keke. And last but by no means least, Judy and her daughter were totally submissive to their partners. Most people would assume Judy was having some sort of mental health crisis.

That was their loss. If Judy hadn't been open to this, she would have missed out on the greatest thing to happen to her since her daughter was born. She had never known this much happiness, this much satisfaction, or had such a strong feeling of belonging.

Everyone was going to be here for lunch, which they were going to make their main meal for the day. Judy moved to the kitchen to get started. Tomieka was already there, putting together the ingredients and tools they would need.

The young girl turned and kissed Judy. "We have a lot to do."

Judy smiled. "It will be fine. We have plenty of time. This isn't my first rodeo."

Tomieka laughed. "I'm glad one of us knows what they are doing."

"Don't worry, you'll learn quickly. Why don't you go ahead and preheat the oven to 350?" Judy loved the fact that the girl was relying on her for this. She loved having a chance to teach her something.

Time flew by, and before she knew it, her guests arrived. She and Tomieka welcomed them and told them they could wash up. A few minutes later everyone was at the table and commenting on how good everything looked.

"Are you sure my daughter helped with this?" Keke joked.

"She did great. I couldn't have done it without her," Judy answered.

"Well, I'm just happy we have a cook in the family now," the black woman replied. "It looks and smells beautiful, should we see how it tastes?"

Judy smiled. "Yes, but if you don't mind, I wanted to say something first."

"Please do."

"Ok, I don't know how to say this," Judy started. "I just want you all to know how happy I am to have you here. You are all family, and I can't tell you how happy that makes me."

"Alana, I hope you know I have always loved you. You've always been braver and more adventurous than I ever was. I felt bad when your dad and I divorced, but thanks to you I have a new family, an amazing family."

"Junko, I couldn't be happier about my daughter having such an amazing best friend. Sorry if this is weird, but I think of you like a daughter. I always wanted a second child, and I couldn't have asked for a better one. I will ALWAYS be here for you."

"Keke, I can't believe what a strong woman you are. I wish I was half as confident, self-assured, mature, and wise as you are. I dreaded my daughter finding someone and venturing out on her own, but I couldn't be happier that she found you."

"I can't imagine her ... exploring and living this way ... with anyone else. I can see how much you love her. I know you will take good care of her. I know I don't have to worry about her now that she has you in her life."

"And last but certainly not least, Tomieka: I love you. I love you so much. I can't tell you what a surprise you were. You are everything I ever wanted and needed, and you just fell into my lap. I wish you knew how happy you make me. Unfortunately, there are no words for that, but I will dedicate the rest of my life to making you as happy as you make me."

Tomieka turned and kissed Judy. "I love you too," she said when she broke it off.

"Well said," Keke said as she stood up. She moved over to hug Judy. Alana and Junko followed suit.

Everyone was full to bursting. Alana, Junko, and Tomieka were in the other room catching up while Keke helped Judy clean up.

"So, I've been meaning to ask you something," Judy said as she cleared off the table. "I got an odd phone call a few days ago. I know the girls had their little adventure. I'm sorry if I shouldn't ask about it, but I'm going to. It made it sound like something was changing with your relationship, but the way they explained it I couldn't see much of a difference."

"You care about them, never hesitate to ask" Keke answered. "Anyway, Daiyu called you huh? She probably just wanted to embarrass Alana. She was probably disappointed to find out you already knew what was going on."

"Ah, well I hope I didn't embarrass them. I tried to act normal. I think I did okay."

Keke smiled as she helped load the dishwasher. "I'm sure you were fine. I wouldn't worry about it. I'm surprised at how well you have dealt with all of this. I know it's still new and very different than anything you've ever known."

"It is," Judy answered. "I'm a little surprised it doesn't seem stranger. This shouldn't seem 'normal', but somehow it does. It's probably just because I know they have you to guide and protect them, but the call really didn't bother me. I'm sorry for asking about it."

Keke leaned in and nudged Judy. "I told you to stop that. They are your daughters. You care about them. I'm glad you are asking."

Judy smiled. "Thanks. So everything is good, right? It all went well, and nothing changed?"

"Hm..." Keke began. "Well, the only thing changing is that the girls agreed to serve her when I am unavailable. So if I go out of town, they will go to her. As far as how it went, the girls are not allowed to tell me about anything that happens with Daiyu."

"Honestly, it's none of my business anyway. I don't want the girls worrying about what I would think. That's especially true of Junko. That poor girl is already full of guilt and self-doubt."

"Anyway, even though I don't know what happened, I can tell it went well. Junko can't get enough of the woman. I was a little worried about how Alana would react. She seemed nervous about it, but I think she discovered that she liked it a lot more than she expected to."

Judy hesitated. "How are you feeling about that?"

Keke laughed. "Oh, don't you worry about me. Thank you for thinking of me, but I love the girls. I know they love me as well, especially Alana. I will never judge them for doing what they need to do to be happy. Junko clearly needs this, and what they do with her doesn't affect our relationship."

"Wow," Judy replied. "That is very mature of you. I'm not sure I could feel that way."

"Different people have different relationships. Something like this would be a disaster for you and Tomieka, and that's fine. But if the girls need it, I will support them. And as abrasive as she can be, Daiyu isn't that bad. Oh, she acts like she is, but I wouldn't have sent Junko to her if I didn't trust her."

"That's reassuring," Judy said as she washed off the table. As she dried it she thought again about how lucky the girls were to have Keke.

After an afternoon of playing party games, drinking, and then a dinner of leftovers, the women were comfortably settled in the living room watching Christmas movies and eating popcorn.

Judy and Tomieka were on the loveseat. Judy took the opportunity to take some selfies of her snuggled-up to her young lover and post them to Facebook.

"Wow," Alana said. "You guys are really 'out' now huh?"

The squeeze she felt around her waist made Judy smile. "I am certainly working on it. I mean, we live together now. People are going to figure it out anyway. We aren't open about the nature of our relationship just yet, but I am trying to make sure everyone who knows me knows just how much I love her."

"That's so cute," Alana replied. She turned to Keke. "We should do more of that."

"We should," the older woman smiled.

With that, Alana threw her feet over the end of the couch to give herself room to lay on Keke's lap. She tried to take a selfie but found it difficult to get both her and her lover in the picture. "Hm, could I get a little help?"

Judy laughed and went over to take her daughter's phone. She took a step or two back and took several pictures. Alana adjusted her position several times, Keke tried holding the girl's face with her hand, putting an arm on her shoulder. Judy just kept taking pictures. "Junko, do you want to get in on this?" she asked.

Junko hesitated.

Alana looked at her adopted sister. "Don't worry. I know your parents follow you. I won't post any pictures that would be hard to explain, but you are a part of this family too. Get over here."

Junko put her legs over the other side of the couch and lay in Keke's lap. Judy backed up another step to get everyone in the shot and continued taking pictures as the two girls posed with their Mistress.

Eventually, Alana asked Judy to take pictures of just her and Junko, and then just of the two of them with Tomieka. That gave Junko some pictures she could post that would look like a girl simply having a good time with friends.

The pictures of Alana in her Mistress' lap went straight to her Instagram.

It had been a late night, and as a result, Judy and Tomieka didn't wake up until a bit after 10 am. Thankfully, this was going to be a relaxing day. They threw on comfortable clothes, threw their gifts in the car, and headed to Keke's house.

When they arrived, Keke and her two slaves were lounging in their pajamas. They fed Judy and Tomieka a quick breakfast and then gathered around the tree and began opening presents.

Judy hadn't known her daughter would be living with Keke when she started buying gifts, so there were quite a few for her. She had scrambled to find just as many for Junko. The girl was far from home, and it felt wrong to favor her old daughter over her new one.

Most of those gifts were clothes, books, and movies. The first meaningful gift to be opened was one from Alana to Keke. The older black woman carefully unwrapped the small box. She opened it and pulled out a beautiful heart-shaped sapphire. "Thank you. It's beautiful," she said as she hugged her submissive.

Alana looked bashful. "Well, I know you like blue. I wanted to get a bigger one, but I'm a poor college student so it's all I could do to scrap together enough for a half carrot."

Keke laughed. "Don't be ridiculous. It's too much. You didn't have to get me anything. You already gave me the greatest gift you could give me. Just having you here with me is more than enough."

"No, I had to get you this," Alana insisted. "I know you say that it's too soon for a lot of things, and I respect that. But I wanted you to know that you have my heart."

Alana looked down. "I know it's a bit cheesy, but this seemed like a good idea. I have given my heart to you. You can do what you will with it, but it will always be yours."

"I will guard it with my life." Keke held the sapphire tightly as she leaned over to kiss Alana. "I am touched. You are the best submissive I have ever had. It's not that I want to give you a chance to get away. You're just so young. You're at an age where a lot is changing. I am trying to be responsible and not let you do something you will regret."

"I would marry you on the spot if you asked, and I know I would never regret it. I understand where you are coming from though," Alana said. "...and I love you for it."

Keke was silent for several seconds. "I will make a deal with you. For New Years, we can continue moving towards being more of an official couple like you want. And I suppose I could let you sign a contract promising to be mine until you graduate. Once you are done with school you can decide if you want to keep things as they are or make things official. If you haven't gotten tired of me by then, we can start planning a wedding."

"I'll take that deal!" Alana exclaimed.

Tomieka laughed. "Did you two just get engaged?"

"I wouldn't go that far," Keke answered. "We just made an appointment to see if we want to get engaged."

A short time later, Junko gave her gift to Keke. The poor girl looked horribly self-conscious as she did so. Keke opened the box to find a well-loved-looking stuffed dolphin.

Junko looked up briefly to confirm Keke had pulled it from the box before looking down again. "This is Tenshi. I got her when I was less than a year old. We grew up together. I know it's silly, but she is probably my most cherished possession. I mean, I was so attached I brought her to college with me."

Keke raised the girls eyes to meet hers and kissed her. "I am honored."

"I know you will take good care of her," Junko said. "I know I will never have what you and Alana do, but I wanted you to know that you own me every bit as much as you own her. I didn't think you would want all my junk, but I wanted to give you something to show that everything I have is yours."

Keke reached out and put a hand on the girl's shoulder. "Just because I met Alana first doesn't mean I love her more."

Alana hugged her friend. "I love you, Junko. I don't want to lose you any more than I want to lose Keke. I love having a slave sister. I didn't mean to exclude you earlier. I'm sorry if I did. I just know that you can't make things public. I'm fortunate that my family accepts this."

Judy suddenly found herself coughing. Everyone looked at her.

"What is it?" Alana asked.

"Nothing, sorry. I swallowed wrong. Please, don't let me interrupt this."

Tomieka, who knew why she had choked on her drink, chucked.

Alana gave Tomieka and Judy a look, but continued. "Anyway, I need you in my life, Junko. And I am not trying to be Keke's favorite. I know she has more than enough love for both of us."

"I certainly do," Keke confirmed.

"I know. I know." Junko said. "I just still feel awful for this thing with Daiyu. I agreed to stay with her because I didn't want to let her down or hurt her feelings, but she wasn't wrong about me. I really am addicted. I don't know what's wrong with me. I would stop seeing her if you asked me to though, because I really do love you and Alana."

"Junko..." began a concerned-sounding Keke. "There is absolutely nothing wrong with you. This is all very new to you. I know you have a lot of guilt. That's common. But there really is nothing to feel guilty for. I love you just the way you are. I care about you. I want you to be happy."

"As you continue down this road you will learn more about what you want and don't want. If you want to see Daiyu, I want you to do it. If you want to stop, then stop. If you want me to try to be more like her, I can try to do that from time to time. But you are perfect just the way you are. Please don't think otherwise."

There was a tear running down Junko's cheek. "Thank you, Mistress. I love you just the way you are too. I don't want you to do anything differently. I'm just grateful to be here with you, and I want you to know that I would stop seeing her if you asked me to."

"Thank you," Keke answered. "That means a lot. But also remember you promised to always be honest with me. And I hope you know I will always support you. So answer me truthfully, do you enjoy your time with her?"

Junko looked at the ground. "I do."

Keke took the girl's chin and raised her head. "Stop that." The woman didn't sound angry, but she did sound forceful. "You don't need to apologize for your feelings, ever. Everyone here loves and accepts you."

Judy, Tomieka, and Alana all agreed.

"Okay, I think it's my turn," Keke said. She grabbed a pair of large boxes from under the tree and handed one to each of her submissives.

Alana tore into the package. Junko opened it slowly and carefully as if she was going to reuse the wrapping paper.

Upon finally getting into the box, the girls found yet more boxes. Alana was the first to open one of the smaller boxes and pulled out a shiny blue and purple metal ring. She inspected it and found two points where it appeared to hinge.

"That is an eternity ankle cuff," Keke said. "I can lock it around your ankle and it will stay there until I take it off. It should be fairly comfortable, but it won't be appropriate in every situation. I don't know that running with it would be overly comfortable. We will have to see."

"I love it," Alana said as she leaned in to kiss her Mistress.

Junko opened her first box to find a small gold-colored chain that looked very much like a necklace, but smaller. The two ends were held together by a hook-shaped like the infinity sign.

"That is an anklet," Keke said. "Something to remind you that you belong to me. It should be far more comfortable when you are going to be active. If you are wearing socks you shouldn't feel a thing."

"Thank you, Mistress," Junko said. "May I put I on?"

"Of course," Keke answered with a smile. "When you are done, open the red box."

Junko put on the anklet and opened the small red box to find a metal ring just like Alana had received, only hers was gold colored. "I'm yours, aren't I?" she asked. "This isn't just pity or putting up with me because I'm Alana's friend."

"Stand up," Keke ordered. When Junko complied the older woman wrapped her in an almost motherly embrace. "You are very much mine, and I'm quite lucky that you are. I would never give this to someone unless they meant a great deal to me."

"I wasn't looking for a second submissive. As a dominant, I thought it would be amazing, but it never seemed fair to have more than one. It seemed like someone would get shortchanged. I still worry about that. But I seem to have fallen into my dream situation, two amazing girls that I would do anything for."

"The colors on these don't mean anything. We needed a way to tell them apart, and I thought these colors suited you. I love you both. Please never think otherwise."

"Thank you," answered Junko. She looked uncomfortable, but that wasn't unusual.

"I know you do," Alana chimed in. "I'm glad you do. Now, should I open the one with the snowman paper?"

Keke nodded. Alana opened it to find an ankle chain just like Junko had received. It also had the infinity hook but was silver.

Alana put it on and moved on to a box with shiny silver paper. It contained several bracelets. They were all metal and in various colors. There was silver, gold, black, blue, and prismatic. They were beautiful. On the outside, they were just smooth metal. But on the underside they had engraving.

"Owned", one said simply. "Keke's good girl", said another. "Keke's devoted slave", "Enjoy the Journey", and "Proud to Serve," said the others.

"That should give you a few you can wear anywhere with no worry, and a few you might not want to take off and show to strangers," Keke laughed.

Junko opened hers to find very similar bracelets but in different colors.

"Those are all lovely," Judy said. "I suddenly feel insecure about my gifts."

"I loved your gifts," said Alana. "But what happened earlier? Are you sure you are okay with this?"

Tomieka laughed.

Judy looked embarrassed. "I'm sorry about that. It was just the comment about your family accepting this. I love you girls and I will always support you, but uh ... I got some texts from your dad last night. I wouldn't say your entire family accepts it. He didn't like the pictures I posted, and he REALLY didn't like yours."
