A Party of Only The Strictest Obedience
Dinner is Served Promptly at Eight
We were inside now. I had enjoyed the sunset, kneeling at my Master's feet outside, and everyone had then filed in, as it got dark. My hands and knees were cleaned in the mud-room as guests were sat at the dining room table. When Master judged me as presentable, I was led in. Those shiny hard wood floors really made me appreciate the money Master had spent on these special kneepads.
I kept my eyes to the floor like a good little bitch as Master walked me into the dining room. Conversation stopped again as I felt everyone's eyes on me. I couldn't see much of course, but I'd helped set the long table for over twenty places earlier, before Master arrived to collar and leash me. So I knew that most everyone was seated around it now. I heard some murmuring as Master led me around the table and past it to the side of the room. They were wondering where I was going to sit. Well, I certainly knew the answer to that question as I was led onto a padded gray kitchen floor mat.
"Stop", my Master commanded, and I stopped with my hands and knees on the mat, facing the wall, back by the kitchen door. I heard Carole's voice as she came out from the kitchen.
"We found these old mats that we don't use anymore. I thought they would give her knees some relief?"
"They're perfect, Carole. Thank you" my Master said.
"Do you think we need an extra sheet or towel down there? In case of mess?" Carole asked.
"There will be no mess" my Master replied. "My bitch knows the better than that."
"Oh-hhh" exclaimed Carole, sounding a little turned on now. "I would almost like to see a little mess now."
Meaning that kinky Carole wanted to see me punished. "Well, no matter then. I've got her bowls. I'll bring them out."
I heard the clatter of Carole's shoes as she went back into the kitchen and came out again. She bent down and placed a black double dog bowl in front of me.
"I trust this will be ok? I had to borrow it from a neighbor, but I cleaned it thoroughly."
"It'll do just fine", answered my Master. "Thank you for accommodating her special needs. It wouldn't do for her to think she can eat from a plate at the table."
"Oh, I should say not", Carole replied.
They were right, of course. I heard Carole wander back into the kitchen as my Master gave me my last commands before dinner.
"Stay. No drooling."
With that, he unclipped my leash and left me there on my hands and knees staring down at the double-dog bowl beneath me. The mat made it easier. I stayed there in position, listening to all the ambient sounds of conversation as everyone prepared for dinner, while in deep concentration. Ball-gags are funny things. It takes a supreme amount of effort not to drool when one fills your mouth, especially with your face looking down at the floor. But I hadn't gone through training for a solid year for nothing. I knew that my Master would inspect the dog dish beneath me before I was allowed to eat dinner. And if he found just the tiniest bit of drool in it, I would be punished. So I concentrated very hard on controlling my saliva.
As I knelt there, staring at that dog bowl and sort of listening to the sounds around me, my mind wandered. I thought back through that year of training:
...Of being trained to crawl on a leash to my Master's specifications. Back and forth, back and forth...Crawl, heel, stop...Crawl, heel, stop...
...To the shock collar I was obliged to wear during my probation period.
...To all the sex. I love being an eager fuck-pig for my Master. I dream of being fucked by him, and never want him to get tired of using my holes.
...To the seemingly endless rounds of punishment for even the slightest of infractions. It might just be a quick corrective slap to the face, or maybe a long session with the strap, cane, flogger or belt to teach me a real lesson. He favored the strap. It gave him the sound and feel of leather against flesh, along with a nice healthy thwack. The belt was my favorite. The sound of it going through the belt loops of his pants as he pulled it out did something indescribable to me.
...And to all those orgasms I missed. I am allowed to cum on Friday nights if I have behaved myself during the week. I missed so many of those during our first months together, until it finally clicked in for me on how to be his slave. But I still miss the occasional week, and it is an excruciating feeling when I do. After all, if I've misbehaved enough to lose my orgasm, than that means I also need to be punished, and that just turns me on even more. It's a vicious circle that my Master is happy to take full advantage of. Believe me, I am motivated like no other to be his good little bitch.
As I was musing on all this while keeping myself from drooling, the sounds of dinner coming closer swirled around me. Footsteps in and out of the kitchen, the clatter of serving trays, bowls, plates and cutlery, the flow of easy conversation as more drinks were poured...
Then felt a shadow over me, and Carole bent down with a plate of food in her hand.
"Like this?" I heard her ask. Then I heard my Master say "yes" from the table.
The plate was artfully arranged with tender beef medallions all cut up into bite-sized portions, potatoes au gratin and asparagus. It looked like a picture from a gourmet magazine. Carol then used a knife to push it all down into my food bowl, smushing it all together. Then she filled the other bowl up with water.
I still had my gag in.
I stared down at that smushed-together food while the sounds of everyone tucking into their meals reverberated around me. It looked downright ugly compared to how it had been on the plate...but I still wanted it. I was hungry. Very, very hungry.
My universe contracted into something very small during these moments. It was just the food in the dish below me, and the drool in my mouth I fought so hard to control. This was a supreme test that my Master liked to inflict upon me. One little drop, and that food would be taken away. I would go hungry for the night.
I felt like I knew how a dog felt.
The intense concentration made my hearing exceptionally acute during these episodes of torture. I swear I could pick out my Master putting his knife and fork down on his plate and pushing his chair back through the sound of everyone talking and eating. Sure enough, those footsteps I thought I heard came around the table towards me. Then he was kneeling beside me. He inspected my food and water first, looking for the glistening sign of saliva.
There was none.
Then he ran his palm over my ball-gag and inspected that. Nice and dry, because no drool had escaped my lips. I don't want to sound conceited or anything, but I had been damn good tonight.
"Good pet", my Master said as he patted my head. Then he unstrapped my ball-gag, and pulled it out of my mouth. This was the single hardest part of the ordeal. I had to really work to keep from letting a mess of saliva drop out with that ball-gag. It was difficult, but I'd had a lot of practice over the past year, and I prided myself on my ability here.
Master then stood up. All I could see were his Oxfords next to my bowl. I waited like a good little bitch for my command.
"Eat."
With that, Master headed back to the table as I was finally able to get at that food. I'd just taken my first bite when I heard another familiar voice address my Master.
"Could I possibly be of assistance?" There was that unmistakable British accent again.
"I'm sorry, what...?", my Master replied.
"Help her, I want to help her."
"Oh. Well, that's very kind of you, but she doesn't really need any help. She's very well trained."
"Oh, I can see that, and I can see that you've done a superb job..."
Boy, was this saucy Brit laying it on thick.
"...But I just want to get down there, and have a little fun. Surely, that would be ok?"
I heard the silence of my Master weighing the options of this very strange request.
"Well, I don't see how that could do any..."
