I followed her along the corridor and down the stairs. My mind was still buzzing with the thrill of what had just happened. My hand still tingled from the feel of the flogger sweeping through the air and hitting tender flesh and my ears were still occupied with the muffled cries and sobs. I felt alive and that I should not, and I knew it was wrong, but I was filled with new and exciting sensations. As I walked down the stairs, I was mesmerised by Eliza's shapely figure in front of me. That skin-tight leotard displayed all her charms. The way it was cut very narrow at the hip accentuated her bottom, so pale in contrast to the pitch black of the fabric. And the way that nakedness stretched across her thighs before disappearing into those menacing boots. I was sure I could smell and taste the arousal wafting from her as she walked in front of me.
I followed her into the kitchen where she carefully selected a bottle from a wine rack. She rummaged in a drawer before passing it to me along with a corkscrew.
"Can you open that while I find the glasses."
After pouring us two drinks she sat down in the oak carver chair at the head of the table and breathed a huge sigh. She girlishly fanned her face with her hand and then coyly looked at me and giggled.
"I can't deny it, but that little session got me going. I'm a bit sweaty and damp," she said, squirming a little in her chair and tugging at the crotch of her leotard. "She's such a sexy little thing, don't you think so?"
I nodded but in truth I could only concentrate on her. She was sitting in a most unladylike manner with her legs splayed and a damp patch showing between her thighs. It was hypnotic and provocative, and I had to force myself to look away. It wasn't helped by the fact that the vee at the front of her outfit seemed to have spread even wider and her breasts, small though they were, threatened to fall out at any moment. I was sure I could see a hint of darker areole and it seemed to be her nipples that were the last thing that held her leotard in place. As sexy and cute as Sylvia had looked tied to the bed, I only had thoughts for Eliza. Thoughts and hopes. But they were hopes that were soon to be dashed upon the rocks.
"I have to admit ..." she started, seemingly to have summoned up the courage to make her confession, "I find her very desirable."
She stopped and stared at me directly, letting it sink in. There seemed to be an unspoken hope that I would understand. I dumbly tried to make sense of her words.
"Usually I try to remain professional," she went on, "but there is something about young Sylvia that gets my juices flowing. They often come to me as unbroken horses and I turn them into docile animals. But she is different somehow. I know I am going to regret breaking her in. I shall enjoy the process but not the result."
"Is that how you see them ... your 'clients' ... as horses needing breaking in?"
"It's a crude metaphor but it will do. Usually I do so dispassionately. Of course, I use them for my pleasure while they are here but that is all it is. Then I pass them on to their new futures. Either back to their parents or occasionally partners who decide what to do or, as in the case of Jane, on to bigger and better things. But this little slut is different somehow."
"Different in what way?" I asked only vaguely paying attention. During her speech, my eye had been taken by a small movement and I glanced down to find that she was softly stroking her pussy through her leotard.
"That compliance that you witnessed yesterday evening. With her it is still only a temporary mask. Usually by this time I have reached past that stage and we are ready to move on with proper training, but with her the fire still burns within her, which has surprised me. In many ways I admire her spirit, her fire, her refusal to give in." She sat back, sighed, and then took a large mouthful of wine.
"I am enjoying being serviced by her. She is unpractised and inexpert, as are most girls when they first come to me. Unlike them, however, I don't get the same feeling of reluctance. Certainly, there is no horror or repugnance so often shown by girls who are being asked, or expected, to orally stimulate a woman. Often for the first time. Sylvia seems to be getting a taste for it. She is certainly improving with every tongue stroke."
I tried not to look shocked at what she said and to keep a straight face with an adult and liberal expression. In my head I was only getting disappointment. My dick had started to stir but its progress ground to a halt. Calm down, I told myself. She's a lesbian so what? I have to be ok with that. Besides there seemed to be a plentiful supply of cunt on offer.
She looked at me and seemed to detect my sorrow. Her hand stopped massaging her pussy and reached out and touched my knee. My heightened senses could smell the musky odour of her pussy from her fingers.
"Yes," she said, an air of sadness in her voice, "I'm a lesbian. Sorry, if you were expecting more but I'm sure Sylvia can more than make up for that. As well as who knows who else in the future."
"Its fine," I told her trying to be sincere with my smile, "this is a professional relationship so to speak, and besides ... after last night I can't really complain, can I?"
"Speaking of which, we should release her fairly soon. I'm sure she's had long enough to contemplate the error of her ways, at least for a while before she decides to be rebellious again."
"A little quiet time-out is always helpful," I volunteered.
"Exactly. I have more training planned for her and I'm hoping you can assist me again."
I perked up at the prospect. "I'd be delighted. What did you have in mind?"
"I have to move on to penetrative sex. Previously I have done this myself using dildos or a strap-on but with your help it can be more authentic. In other words, I want you to fuck her. It certainly will not be her first time; I have the feeling that she gave herself freely in her previous life. Eventually I will need to test all three of her holes and I think she may be a little more reluctant with the final one."
"She certainly knows how to use the first," I commented, and a smile spread across my face at the memory of last night."
"I think we can take that as a certainty," she replied grinning. "You will probably find her cunt equally as ready, but we shall see. It is her anus that I am not certain about. I intend to start her off with a series of plugs, each larger than the last, until she is ready to take a full-sized cock. This may take several days but we shall see. I intend to start her on the smallest tonight. It isn't large but it is enough that you may feel it while fucking her."
"It's not something I'm new to," I assured her, "an ex had a liking for plugs and I was happy to go along. She would never let me fuck her there though," I added sadly.
I had become used to her use of down-to-earth language and it had stopped coming as a surprise. Since that seemed to be the norm, I had decided to join in.
"A word or two about attitude," she said, suddenly turning very serious, "I have learnt from past experience that gentleness should only be used as a reward and that a hard indifference works well to start with. I thought you did very well yesterday, and your attitude was just about right. This needs to continue for the next phase of her training. She can only enjoy her moments of kindness as a contrast to moments of toughness. I'm asking you to be quite hard and forceful with her. Do you understand?"
I nodded to show that I did and I thought back to last night when I had held her head far longer than she was comfortable with and how I had tried to push her beyond her limits. I could not deny that I had enjoyed that feeling of power.
"In that case I think its time to release her. Will you do the honours? You will find her collar on the chest of drawers and the leash will either be attached or lying next to it. Make sure she is wearing both before you release her wrists and ankles. If she starts playing up, I'm sure you'll know what to do. The crop will be next to the collar should you need it."
She paused to make sure I was paying attention and absorbing her instructions before she went on.
"Take her into the room next door. This is a second guest bedroom, and it is cleaner and tidier than her current one. The mattress in that one is old and badly stained as you might have noticed. As those stains have been left by previous occupants, I see no reason why I should replace it. When you take her into the new bedroom tell her to stand by the bed and assume position one. She should know what this means by now. It was the pose that she took in the cellar. Hands behind her head and feet spread wide, eyes on the floor. I will join you shortly when I have finished this excellent wine."
As I walked out and up the stairs, I felt that I bore a new weight of responsibility. It felt almost like a promotion. It certainly felt that I had gained a lot of Eliza's trust. I was determined not to let her down. Already my shorts were beginning to bulge at the prospect of what might happen.
To calm down before I went into the room where Sylvia was being held, I looked into the other guest bedroom. It was an altogether much nicer and brighter room, mostly dominated by a large bed similar in age and fashion to the one on which Sylvia was tied. The bed had a simple crisp white sheet covering the mattress but no other bedding. I wondered how long it would remain in such a pristine condition. Leaving the door open I went out and down to Sylvia's room. When I opened the door, her eyes jumped open with alarm but seeing only me she relaxed a little.
"Time to get you ready for your next session."
Her calmness drained away and nervousness took over. I found the collar and leash as well as the crop where Eliza had said they would be, and I picked them all up and went to stand looking down at the helpless girl. I remembered Eliza's words about being hard and I felt it was my duty to follow her advice. I dropped the leash and the crop on the bed beside Sylvia, making sure she saw each one clearly, then I held up the collar.
"Time to get you dressed," I taunted.
