Sue made her way up to her room and stopped short in amazement at what lay waiting for her. Spread out on the bed was a beautiful teal green silk evening gown. She had been used to David providing items for her to wear when she was his slave, but never anything as beautiful and elegant as this! Previous outfits had been designed to show off her assets and afford easy access to whomever she was offered. This gown was completely different! It was beautifully tailored, cut from the finest fabric and obviously hand finished. It must have cost a fortune. A lump formed in her throat at David's generous gift.
She made her way to the en-suite bathroom and turned on the taps to run herself a bath. Choosing a heady, sensuously scented bath oil, she liberally poured it into the steaming hot water. When it reached a suitable depth, Sue turned off the taps and tested the temperature with her elbow. Perfect! Hot enough to soak the tension from her muscles, but not enough to scald. She removed her clothes and pinning her wealth of dark auburn hair on top of her head, she stepped into the welcoming warmth. Sighing, she leaned back and just let the water relax her. She hadn't wanted to admit it in front of David, but she had been nervous about making the transition from slave to mistress, and this new slave was proving to be a tough challenge. It was obvious that she had nothing but contempt for other women and Sue was treading a fine line between being suitably firm and allowing her frustration and irritation to inflict a stronger punishment than was warranted. However, David seemed to be pleased with her performance so far, a fact from which she took great solace.
Finally, feeling relaxed and refreshed Sue ducked her head under the water before selecting a shampoo and massaging it into her hair. She rinsed it out and then smoothed on a rich, thick conditioner, using a comb to work it through her hair. She stepped out of the bath and reached for a soft, fluffy towelling robe. She moved to the wash basin and carefully removed her daytime make-up before smoothing an expensive moisturiser over her face. She moved back to the bath and used the shower attachment to rinse her hair before wrapping it in a towel and padding back into the bedroom.
Sitting down in front of the dressing table, she considered the array of cosmetics in front of her. She knew that the teal gown would perfectly set off her deep auburn hair and emerald eyes and carefully chose colours that would compliment the dress and accentuate her eyes, arguably one of her best features. She blended foundation into a flawless finish before applying a pearlescent highlighter just below her eyebrows. She dusted pale gold powder across her lids, shading towards a deep bronze at the outer corners. A hint of blush brought out her high cheekbones and an application of deep red lipstick completed the look. She dried her hair and put it into a sophisticated chignon. She caught her breath as she noticed a bottle of Shalini perfume standing on the top of the dressing table. She removed the stopper from the bottle of very expensive perfume and inhaled the wonderful blend of ylang ylang, coriander, neroli, sandalwood, musk and vanilla. With trembling fingers she replaced the stopper, tilting the bottle to coat the base before removing it once again and dabbing the precious scent behind her ears, and between her breasts before touching it to the inside of each of her wrists. She then returned to the bed where the beautiful gown lay.
Now that she was close to, she could see other items laid out on the bed. First was a corset of deep green silk and black lace, strapless and with built-in suspenders. Next was a matching pair of high leg briefs and the final touch was a pair of black, gossamer fine stockings. Placed on the floor beneath the dress was a pair of green Manolo Blahnik D'Orsay open toed pumps. One by one she put the items on. The corset fitted her beautifully, giving her a perfect hour glass figure with her breasts lifted and supported. She smoothed the stockings up her legs before attaching them to the suspenders. Finally she lifted the gown from the bed and stepped into it. She turned to the full length mirror and caught her breath at the vision that greeted her. The dress just kissed the top of her shoulders before plunging deeply, revealing a hint of the cleavage so cleverly created by the corset. The dress hugged her curves before flaring out over the hips to fall in shimmering waves to the floor. She slipped her feet into the shoes and feeling like a queen, swept out of the room to join David for dinner.
Impeccably clad in a superbly tailored tuxedo, David stood as Sue entered the dining room. The ribbon strip running down the outside of his trousers emphasised the long, muscled legs and the single breasted jacket subtly complimented his upper body physique. A green silk bow tie nestled at the throat of his Egyptian cotton dress shirt and highlighted his strong jaw. His eyes gleamed appreciatively as he took in the elegant woman standing before him. Striding towards her he took her hand in his and bowed over it before turning it over and dropping a light kiss onto her palm. Drawing her arm through his, he escorted her to the table before drawing out a chair and courteously seating her.
A shiver had run through her from the heat of the kiss David had placed on her palm. The sheer sensuousness of the gesture left her feeling weak at the knees and she was grateful for the support of her chair.
David entered the kitchen and retrieved their appetizers of beluga caviar. He set Sue's plate in front of her and retrieved a bottle of Kistler Vineyard Chardonnay from where it rested in it's floor standing ice bucket. Expertly removing the cork, he poured the pale yellow liquid into their glasses. Seating himself opposite, he raised his glass to Sue in a silent toast.
"May I say you're looking exquisite this evening," he said, his rich voice caressing her with its warmth.
"If I am, it is all due to your amazing gift!" Sue replied.
"Not at all, my dear," David gently contradicted. The outfit merely highlights the true beauty of the person wearing it.
Sue blushed with pleasure and bent her head to concentrate on the food set in front of her. They dined in silence for a while, savouring the combination of the dark pearls of caviar, together with the light crispness of the wine. Sue made to rise and clear the plates but was forestalled by a gesture from David. He collected the plates and removed them to the kitchen where he had left a bottle of Grgich Hills 2000 Zinfandel to breathe. He brought it back to the table where Sue was seated and poured the deep purple wine. He returned to the kitchen and retrieved two silver covered platters containing their entrees. Placing Sue's before her, he lifted the cover to reveal a beautifully prepared dish of venison, served with a damson and juniper sauce and selection of vegetables. The aroma rising from her plate set Sue's mouth watering. Never before had she been served such a sophisticated meal and her eyes were shining as she raised them to smile up at David. He waited until they had finished their entreés before returning to the subject of Kristy.
"So my dear, how do you think our slave is responding to her training?" he asked.
Sue took her time answering, mulling over everything that had happened since Friday evening and the responses of the new slave. Finally she gave her opinion.
"I think it is going to take some time to train her completely," she said slowly. "She seems to have a great deal of arrogance and absolutely refuses to see that her attitude towards others is completely unacceptable. In particular, her attitude towards women leaves a lot to be desired."
David nodded without interrupting, allowing Sue to continue expressing her thoughts.
"I think, however, that we may have reached a milestone today," she mused. "When her blindfold was removed in the bathroom she was genuinely shocked and distressed by what she saw in the mirror. I think that image is everything with this woman, and the sight of herself in that condition has opened a major crack in her defences. She was far more compliant and submissive afterwards."
"I thought that might be the case" David agreed. "I've been watching her at work for quite some time and she seems overly concerned with material possessions and craves attention and acknowledgement for everything she does. I think this afternoon's combination of punishment, being ignored and made to listen to someone else enjoying attention, together with the physical mess her appearance presents is the key to changing her attitude."
Sue nodded in agreement. "So do you have an idea what question she may ask you this evening, if allowed?"
"Knowing her, I think the first thing she will want to ask is why we picked her," David said. "As you have observed, she doesn't feel as if there is anything wrong with the way she treats people and will not be able to comprehend that this was the reason she was chosen. I think we should explain, in detail and using as many examples as possible, just exactly why we believe her manners need to be corrected."
This time, as David made to rise from the table, Sue moved quicker and cleared the plates, taking them back into the kitchen. David appeared in the doorway. "Dessert is in the fridge," he advised.
Opening the door, Sue retrieved two dishes of panacotta and took them through to the dining room. David followed with a bottle of Domaine Carneros 2003 Le Rêve Blanc de Blanc, which he proceeded to open, pouring the sparkling wine into a pair of crystal champagne flutes.
