At work the next day, Peter couldn't get his thoughts together to focus on his tasks. He kept glancing at Cindy's grayed out name on the internal messenger service. He spent most of the day by the window of his office, staring out, his thoughts winding and weaving, terminating again and again in the same knotted images that he could not push past. Once, he had dreamed of being a poet, and now this is what he faced: only emptiness, and the distant, receding image of Cindy.
In the late afternoon, he received a text message from Master. It said: "Be at my apartment at 10 tomorrow morning. It is building 7, apt 0601. Make sure that you are clean shaven." That evening, Peter shaved his body thoroughly. Then he practiced the dance Laura had taught him. He regretted that he had not practiced it before now, as there was much of it that he could not remember, and he could not remember all of the numbered poses that Steve had shown him. He didn't know what to expect of tomorrow, but he knew that it would be a disaster if Laura and Steve were there, and if he was asked to perform Laura's dance in front of Cindy. Again, he had a hard time sleeping, as he was full of nerves.
He arrived outside the door of Brian's apartment at 9:45 the next morning. He waited in the stairwell, and then rapped the door at exactly 10:00. He stepped back against the opposite wall, hands behind his back. He could hear that someone was looking at him through the peephole, and then the door opened and Cindy stood looking at him, her expression blank and cold.
"Good morning, Cindy."
"Good morning, come in," she said without warmth. She stepped back from the door to let him enter, and then closed the door behind him.
He smiled at her softly, hoping for a glimmer of recognition from her eyes, but there was none. Her expression was totally closed to him. She was always warm and charming with all people: he had never seen her look this way at anyone. Then, with a searing wave of loss in his heart, he realized that she was not looking at him as a person, but as a slave.
She handed him a piece of paper, and said "Brian give you this. These are your jobs for today." She was dressed casually, in her reading glasses, leggings, slippers and a long T-shirt, probably Brian's. Even such clothes though, could not hide her perfect figure, and Peter felt his cock begin to waken and rise at the nearness of her presence.
Cindy walked through the apartment, and he followed her. She opened a door and said, "You change in here, and start the jobs on your list. Brian be back later." Her voice was business like. She stood holding the door of a small room open. When he hesitated, she raised one eyebrow and said "OK?" with some impatience.
"Thank you Cindy," he said as he entered the room. She said nothing, and closed the door behind him.
The maid's outfit he had worn at Laura's apartment was on the bed, along with the bottle of oil, and an envelope on which "faggot" was written by hand. He presumed the envelope was for him and he opened it. Inside was a Viagra tablet, and a note which said "take this now." He took the Viagra tablet, and then spread oil generously over his body. He put on the white garter, and then rolled the stockings up his smooth legs and connected the dangling straps from the garter belt to the stocking tops. He pulled on the skimpy, white silk panties. He pulled the maid's outfit over his head, and down over as much of his ass as he could. He fixed the blonde bob wig on his head. He looked over his list of chores. He would have to hand wash socks and underwear, wash the dishes, mop the floor, vacuum, clean countertops and dust.
He decided to wash the dishes first. He passed through the living room on his way to the kitchen. Cindy was seated at the dining table reading a book. He did not dare to glance at her as he passed, and he did not know if she looked at him or not. He washed the dishes, dried them and put them away. As he was scrubbing the kitchen counters, he heard Cindy's phone ring, and she answered it. He heard her speaking to someone in her charming and bubbly voice, but she was speaking in Chinese, and he could not make out what she was saying. His cock began to swell beneath his panties in response to the music of her voice.
Suddenly he heard her call out loudly and harshly: "Peter!" He put down the dishrag and hurried in to her.
She stayed seated at the dining room table, and held out the phone toward him. "Brian want speak to you."
He approached her, took the phone and said, "Good morning, master."
"Are you kneeling?"
"No Master, sorry Master. I am kneeling now." Peter knelt down in front of Cindy, who remained seated at the dining table, one foot crossed over her shin. He admired the swelling, chalky whiteness of her calf. He glanced up at her gazing down at him through her librarian glasses, her lip curled in scorn. How he loved her! She was perfect! His cock was fully erect, and leaking pre cum. The tiny white panties only cupped his balls. His mouth was dry, and he felt as if his cock might shoot spontaneously, without a touch. There was a crazy, deep, nostalgic weight of lust in his belly, which reminded him of the feeling he had had when he was twelve years old, and had only just discovered masturbation.
"After I ask you to give the phone back to Cindy, I want you to go to the drawer beneath the TV, take out what you find there, and put it on the coffee table. Then, I want you to stand in the middle of the room, with your back to the sofa and your face to the TV. Slip off your maid's outfit, so that you are wearing only stockings, garters belt and panties. Kneel down, pull the front of your panties down under your balls. Then start stroking your cock, and don't stop stroking it until I tell you to stop. Do you understand?"
"Yes Master. I understand."
"Let me speak with Cindy now."
"Yes Master."
Cindy was looking down at her book, feigning indifference. Peter held the phone toward her and said "Brian wants to speak with you Cindy."
She glanced at him from behind her librarian glasses, still giving no sign of recognition, took the phone, looked again away from Peter and began to speak with Brian.
