I stepped into the kitchen where the same 3 guys from earlier were hard at work.
"Glad to have you on board full time," Scott said while tossing me an apron.
I quickly put it on, it was the closest thing to clothing I had worn since I had signed the contract this morning.
"Glad to be here," I said shyly.
"I see you're already down to 41 seconds and your ass is redder than this tomato!" Scott said, holding up a plump hothouse. "Tough first day?"
"Not all bad," I said with a smile. "I lost 4 for my tardiness, traded away 5 for a show, and lost 10 while earning this," I said as I gestured to my red ass.
"That's alright I lost 36 my first day. Although your day is not quite over, I wish you the best in not beating my number," he said as he returned to filleting a salmon.
Tonight's menu was a salmon and shrimp seafood pairing with russet potatoes and roasted vegetables followed by home-made tiaramisu. Scott seemed to be the leader of the kitchen and directed me to begin chopping some fresh vegetables. I was glad to take direction that was not enforceable by whips.
Dinner service proceeded much as lunch had but this time I was spared table service. The women had either grown bored of me already or were sympathetic after the performance on the deck earlier. After delivering dinner and pouring a few glasses of Chardonnay I was granted leave along with the others. This time two other guys who I had not gotten to know yet stayed on for dinner service.
In our dining room I learned that Scott was the veteran of the kitchen staff and had been in the program for nearly 7 months. Another guy, Jason, was the senior most of the farm crew and was "graduating" at the end of month.
"I'll either be cut loose and sent home with my original belongings like nothing ever happened or if one of the Misses wants they can take me as their permanent sub to live happily ever after off in the real world," Jason explained.
I determined this was what the "100% placement rate" referred to in the original post.
"I'm a bit nervous about it. Hopefully she'll take me on but she's a cruel one. She's gotten me down under 10 seconds a few months and I think she takes pleasure in denying me," Jason said half laughing half sighing.
The bell rang and we attended to clean up. The kitchen staff stayed behind to wash up as the farm workers headed back to their quarters. I guess that was their right after being in the hot sun all day.
After dinner Miss Laurenen came into the kitchen. The sight of her made my heart beat speed up.
"Hi, my subby, dinner was lovely. After dinner you are officially off shift although that does not mean you can ignore mine or any of the Women's orders if we have need of you. Why don't you take some time to settle into your quarters? Freshen up, we have one last surprise in store for your first day."
She said this last sentence flirtatiously and with a light smack on my ass. Although it was light and playful it stung with intensity. I hadn't quite recovered from Mistress Jessica's earlier punishment.
Scott offered to show me to our quarters since we were roommates. His previous roommate had graduated the month before.
Our housing was in one of the sheds off the back of the main house. Like the shed where I had my cage fitted earlier, the structure was surprisingly finished on the inside. It was no Ritz Carlton but it was comfortable enough. It reminded me of a dorm room with two narrow beds, 2 desks, a small tv, and a bathroom. Maybe more of a jail cell upon further thought.
To my relief there was a single set of shorts and t-shirt laid out on my bed. Apparently while alone in our quarters we were permitted to be clothed. I was glad for it. Although Scott was a nice guy it would be awkward to be naked together 100% of the time.
I jumped in the shower and once again collected my thoughts. I had my doubts before coming and certainly had my doubts throughout the day. Did I really think I could keep up with this for a whole year? What if I had no time or was unable to cum during my scheduled release? I could not imagine how pent up I would be after another month and a half. If I failed then and had to wait another month I probably wouldn't survive.
Even if I survived what then? A life in chastity? I thought to myself that if that life involved Lauren it wouldn't be all that bad.
After my shower I decided to rely on the trusty vet Scott and inquire how he had managed to survive 7 months.
"To tell you the truth of it I think half of the guys who get accepted don't even show up. Another quarter who actually do don't make it past the contract signing. After that the majority of guys end up bailing out at some point during the first day due to the shock of it all or sometime during the first two weeks when their desire to get off overtakes their desire to serve that brought them here in the first place."
He paused and sighed, "Guess I've just got the right kind of discipline. You're still here so I'd say you're ahead of the curve."
Suddenly the voice of Mistress Madeline rang out in our room, "Sub James report to the main house immediately. You have one minute."
There must have been some sort of intercom system I hadn't noticed.
"We're never out of their reach," Scott said jokingly. "Better get moving or they'll probably deduct any seconds you are late."
I hurried out the door in a panic but Scott called out to stop me. "You're gonna want to take those off or that'll likely be a deduction too," he said as he gestured towards my shorts that I had put on moments before my summons. "Sorry, shoulda pointed that out to you sooner. I'm so used to the rules that sometimes I forget how foreign they are. Get moving man or you'll be late."
In a frenzy I stripped off my shorts and was back to my required naked state. I hurried towards the house, stepped through the door, and immediately kneeled. I knew I was probably late due to my screw up.
"1 minute and 14 seconds. Tsk tsk. You've not even been here 24 hours and you're already under 30 seconds," Mistress Madeline said with cruel pleasure.
I nearly crumbled when I saw my number immediately dropped from 41 to 27. Even after a month and a half caged I wasn't sure that would be enough time. And that was if I managed to keep it all. I didn't have such a hot track record so far.
"To celebrate you surviving your first day we are going to have some fun playing a little game," Mistress Madeline said in a teasing tone. "You may even have an opportunity to earn some precious time back."
I had a feeling that we had very different ideas of fun but the prospect of earning time back was a welcome one.
After catching my breath I realized that all of the Women had changed into evening wear. Some of their outfits were quite revealing, causing my cock to stiffen in its confines. Miss Lauren immediately caught my eye. She was wearing a black silk top and a cheetah print thong. She looked stunning. Many of the others were dressed similarly or even more scantily.
