Sara was thirty-four, and an exceptionally successful businesswoman, holding a senior position in a financial organisation, and, over several years now, having earned a substantial salary.
Right then she was between jobs, having handed in her notice at her existing company, and having been offered a job which promised even higher earnings. However, her current company insisted that she worked out her notice period, not at the office, but in the form of garden leave for her whole notice period of six months. She wasn't quite sure what she would do with herself for all those months.
This morning, Sara went into the local coffee bar, and was happy to see Jessica, who, until about a year ago, had been a junior manager in the firm she had just left, reporting to her. They happily sat together and chatted.
Jessica eagerly explained how she had now built up her own business, which she carried out from her home. However, she pointed out. "I am really busy throughout the whole day, and so, to help me, I employed a full-time live-in maid who looked after the house for me. Unfortunately, she has moved about two hundred miles away, and I am looking for a replacement, which is causing me stress."
Sara asked, "You say she looked after your house? What do you mean?"
Jessica replied, "She did pretty much everything, really. She washed all my clothes, ironed them, and put them away. She cooked me my meals, tidying everything away afterwards. She cleaned the whole house, hoovered, made the beds, and changed them, and was constantly going from room to room making sure that nothing was out of place. If it was, she put it back in its right place. In fact, she did literally whatever I asked her to do, without any question. She worked so hard, but it was so helpful for me. In fact, I can't work anywhere near as hard if I have to do all of those things myself."
Sara wondered if she could fill in whilst Jessica found a new live-in maid. As Sara heard the amount of work that was involved, she still wasn't put off at all. In fact, she replied, "Actually, Jessica, I'm not working for the next six months and I'll be more than happy to step in and do that for you."
Jessica was really surprised as she knew this was very different from the work that Sara was so good at.
Sara saw the surprised look on Jessica's face, and explained, "Only yesterday, I went online to a website where a lady was in a lesbian relationship, actually a marriage, and it was her partner who had a really successful job and earned lots of money. This lady, though, Amber, threw herself into looking after the house, doing all the things that you have just described that your live-in maid did. She explained it was hard work, but so satisfying. Also, maybe even more important, she said that it was stress-free. She described herself as a submissive and her partner as dominant, and explained that her dominant partner told her what to do, and even worked out the household duties schedule, a different one for every day of the week. She loved it."
What Sara didn't explain, was how Amber gave full control to her dominant partner, including making all financial and other decisions. What she also said on her website, very happily, was that she had given her dominant partner full disciplinary control over her, and without doubt, a good hard spanking spoke volumes compared to simply being told off for a poor standard of work.
Sara didn't say it, even though she actually liked the idea of being spanked herself, but thought Jessica might be put off by that.
Instead, Sara added, "I could even see how that would be the case, being hard work but there being no stress, so I would really be up for trying it out and seeing."
Jessica didn't see any reason to say no, because, even if Sara was nowhere near as good as her current maid, it would certainly be better than having no one. She replied, "Well if you are up for it, and, as you say, you won't be working for the next six months,"
Sara really was up for it, and supposed, that as Jessica agreed to take her on, maybe she should tell her about the punishment element, so she explained, "Amber, who carried out the household chores, explained that initially, she was pretty poor at doing them. On the other hand, her dominant partner was far better at it than her, but, she had to do all of the office work and earn all the money. Therefore, what they did, was the dominant partner would inspect the work Amber had done, and where the work fell short of perfection, action was taken. However, it wasn't done by pointing out the errors, but by using punishments as the learning tool. The most common punishment was for the dominant partner to give Amber a long and hard bare-bottomed spanking. Amber said that each spanking took at least ten minutes, but it really did set her mind in the right direction and her standard of work quickly improved. Interestingly, three years on, Amber was still spanked two or three times a week, because it was agreed that her dominant partner would be ultra strict and set the highest of standards. However, Amber admitted that it didn't add to her stress at all, and she still found doing all the household chores hard work but ever so satisfying. In fact, she started the website to encourage others to do the same."
Jessica listened to all of that, wondering whether Sara really was asking to be spanked as a form of training. Why would she want to take on a cleaning job, anyway? Was it because Sara thought she would be bored for the next six months? That could well be the case, Jessica supposed.
Anyway, Jessica thought it would be rather good fun to have her ex-boss as her full-time live-in maid, and spanking her would be a bonus. So, with no particular reason to turn down the offer, Jessica said, "Okay then, Sara. We just need to agree on a salary."
Sara replied, "I don't need a salary, Jessica."
Jessica was happy enough with that, but did point out, "It will seem strange with you working for me, bearing in mind that I used to work for you."
Sara replied, "Sure, but then I want to see what it is like to be a maid. I want to do everything that a live-in maid would do. That must include being totally obedient, and respectful. I think the way we can do that, is that I will never speak first, and if I want to speak to you, I will stand silently with my hands in front of me and will only look at the floor, until you speak to me. Also, I will only address you as, 'mistress,' and you only refer to me as, 'maid,' or 'girl.' Anything other than all of that, should earn me a severe bare-bottom spanking, each and every time. In fact, you should give me no second chances. That goes for my standard of work as well as my attitude. Believe me, mistress, I really do want to throw myself into being your live-in maid so I can experience the stress-free life, where all I have to do is do whatever you tell me to do. It will be so refreshing for me, not to have to make any decisions, but just work very hard. Of course, I am used to working very hard, but also to making all of the decisions. This would be such a lovely change for me, and I can do it for six months."
Jessica liked the fact that Sara would be as submissive as her current maid, but then asked with a smile, "What about your clothes, maid? Yours are really expensive."
Sara replied, "I will buy some very simple clothes. In fact, I will buy the same set of clothes to wear every single day, maybe even a maid's uniform. I will not wear my jewellery, nor makeup, and my hair will be tied back in a bun, so everything about me will tell you that I am of a far lower status than you. I would want you to feel confident about the fact that you are in charge of me, totally, without any question, and, should I question one thing, or even delay obeying you for just a second or two, then that will earn me another spanking every single time. My aim will not to be spanked, but I have no doubt that, in your position of superiority, you will be spanking me on a very regular basis."
Jessica was very surprised at the way that Sara was encouraging her to spank her. So she asked, "So, you don't want to be paid, but you do want to be spanked. Is that right, maid?"
Sara replied, "Well, mistress, I don't need the money, but for some years have had a wish to be spanked. Here, the spankings would have a serious part to play. I know that I will need my shortcomings pointed out to me, certainly initially, and I think that having a seriously stinging bottom, and then the threat of another seriously stinging bottom hanging over me, is what would help me. Just as Amber explained on her website. Obviously, I wouldn't want someone who worked for me to give me a regular bare bottom spanking, but, mistress, I will be working for you, and I don't want you wasting your time pointing things out to me, when a bare bottom spanking will, I am sure, be far more effective. I don't think it will add to my stress, mistress. Actually, it will reduce my stress, because, I will know that I will have earned every single spanking and so it will be in my control, because, mistress, all I will have to do is my job properly. That's why, mistress, it would reduce my stress, and let me focus on doing my job properly, making your life as easy as possible, so we both gain."
Jessica could still only see benefits to having Sara come and live with her, and do whatever she can do of the housekeeping chores. She knew her current maid had set out a comprehensive list of daily duties, obviously several duplicated every single day, and others to be carried out every few days or every week. She knew that she would give those to Sara to follow. Spanking Sara would be like a coffee break as well, so not a burden on her.
Having agreed that Sara would become Jessica's full-time live-in maid, they both left the coffee bar immediately went to one of the cheap clothes shops. They picked out a dark grey short sleeved T-shirt, with shorts of a matching colour, a cheap bra and knickers were also available. It was agreed that Sara would purchase seven sets of exactly the same clothes, so she could wear one every single day, so look the same every single day.
They drove back to Sara's house, where she changed out of her expensive clothes and put on a set of her maid's clothes, after having removed her make-up and taken off all of the jewellery. She even cleaned off the nail varnish on her fingers and toes. Not needing anything else, Sara left her car at her house, and was driven by Jessica to her house.
Once in the house, Jessica showed Sara around the house. Sara felt she was already getting into the role as she continued to address her new boss lady only as, 'mistress,' and was very happy when her mistress referred to her as, 'maid,' or 'girl.'
As Jessica showed her new maid around the house, she made a point of showing her maid where her bedroom was. It was on the ground floor in an annexe, but was very small with a shower room attached. Jessica could see that her new maid wanted to say something about the bedroom, but forced herself to stay silent. That was a good sign, Jessica thought.,
When Jessica showed Sara her own ensuite bedroom, Sara saw a wooden-backed hairbrush on the dressing table. Jessica was now used to the idea of spanking Sara, and could see the benefit of using the hairbrush which would sting the maids bottom but not sting her own hand.
