== Chapter 14 ==
The next morning I was once again able to thank Master in person for owning me. As Master's slavegirl I had been taught that these were to be the first words out of my mouth each day as soon as he awoke. Sometimes I woke up before Master and I would just lay there thinking about the journey I'd taken since I'd become his property. Once he started to stir I'd take Master's cock in my mouth or often I'd start by gently licking his balls, his cock or anywhere else I could reach to bring my Owner gently to wakefulness.
If Master was enjoying my attentions he would allow me to continue licking or else he would grab my hair and push my head down onto his cock if he wanted to come in my mouth while he gradually adjusted to the new day. Some mornings he would fuck me, but not always... Naturally it was his preference that determined what happened and I loved never knowing how my day was to begin. I was there to serve him and happy to be used as Master saw fit, so whatever he wanted was the right choice as far as I was concerned.
Regardless of what was required of me I never spoke until I was sure Master was fully awake. Once he was ready to talk to me he'd let me know. Often he'd pull me up to where I could look into his eyes by grabbing one of my nipple rings and gently pulling until I was where he wanted. Then he would smile at me and I'd repeat my mantra. "Thank you for owning me, Master," I'd say as if it was the first time this idea had occurred to me. I loved the little rituals we had and I'd missed being able to thank my Master in this way while I was with Chloe even though I loved being with her. I was happy to be back in the comforting routines with my Master which had become so much a part of who I was.
I was very rarely allowed to sleep in and I had become used to waking up as soon as I felt the slightest stirrings from Master. Often I was already awake beforehand and I very much enjoyed those times as I was able to lay there and think about my place and all that it meant to me be an owned slave. I would play with my piercings and think how fortunate I was to have found what I'd always wanted and needed in Master's service.
It was up to Master how much time we spent in bed together once he was awake. After serving him in whatever way he required I would repeat my mantra, then we might talk or cuddle. It all depended on his mood, but most often I was just told to get out of bed and make some breakfast.
Today I remembered that Master had informed me he was having visitors so as well as making breakfast I also had some tidying up to do. With his permission I scurried off to wash and then went to the kitchen. It was normal in our household for me to be kept naked unless instructed otherwise so it was easy for me to quickly wash and brush my hair and then get right to work.
I loved being kept naked most of the time while I worked around the house as it reminded me constantly of my position as a slave and even mundane tasks like sweeping the floor or cooking breakfast were eroticised by the awareness that I had no right to any clothing (or anything else) unless my Master allowed it. Also being naked I could more easily see or feel the various tattoos and piercings I carried as marks of my slavery. I often caught sight of one of my marks while concentrating on something else and that never failed to give me a little jolt.
Mostly I forgot that I was marked and unless I had time to play with my piercings like I sometimes did while laying in bed in the morning they merged into my daily life so effectively that my slave markings were easily taken for granted. I often thought that I had been marked just as much for my Master's pleasure as to remind me of my status as a slave. The occasions on which the markings had been made were times that stood out in my memory and I often thought lovingly of how it had felt to be given each reminder that I was Master's property, but otherwise I tended to forget they were there.
I'm really not a terribly focused person and tend to go along with the flow most of the time. I like routines and rituals as they give a structure to my existence as while carrying out my household duties my mind tends to wander. When I caught sight of one of my markings it always caught my attention and I suddenly realised that I was not just washing the dishes but I was a naked slavegirl washing her Master's dishes and I was carrying his marks of ownership on my body to remind me of this fact.
The jolt I felt at this realisation meant that that my random meandering thoughts were quickly turned towards the reality of my slavery and it often shocked me a little to know that my situation was not as *normal* as it would appear if not for my nakedness. I would often stand there tembling slightly and the full force of what my situation sometimes brought tears to my eyes. Not tears of grief as I never felt any sense of loss about what had been taken away from me, but rather tears of joy that Master had wanted me and taken me and trained me. I felt I was a very lucky girl and the markings on my naked body are so precious to me.
Of course I would gradually get back to what I was doing and my mind would wander off again, but there was always a certain buzz of arousal in my system for some time afterwards. Often before it entirely dissipated I would have some interaction with Master that got me going again, so frequently my days were spent in a continuous state of low level arousal, only interrupted by the intensity of serving my Master or having to perform some ritual or other.
For example, even if I was busy with some entirely routine task I was trained to get to my knees and bow my head to the floor when Master entered the room, so there was never a moment when I was not very much attuned to the need to instantly demonstrate who and what I was. I loved the feelings that surged through me as I knelt naked at Master's feet and even though I'd done so many hundreds of times before it always gave me enormous pleasure to be reminded of my slavery in this way.
