She was awoken the next morning by the door opening. She had slept deeply and felt refreshed, although when she moved, she winced as the welts caused by the whipping stung. She tried to get up, but her legs felt like jelly and her whole body ached. She sat back down on the bed with a thump, then slid to her knees with her hands behind her head. Even though her body reflected the ordeal of the previous evening, her responses were becoming ingrained.
Sue walked through the door and smiled at her.
"Come along, Kristy" she said. "Lets get you to the bathroom."
As Kristy wearily leaned forward, Sue put a hand under her shoulder.
"Not today, Kristy," she said softly. "Today you may walk to the bathroom."
She supported her as Kristy got to her feet and then led her into the bathroom, where the shower was already running, with steam rising. Sue guided her into the shower and watched as Kristy let the hot water revive her senses. She noticed that the enema bag was already filled & hanging in the shower. She quickly bent over and inserted the nozzle into her back passage, wincing a little as the abused muscles protested. She let the water flow in and then gasped in surprise as a cooling & numbing sensation flooded her passage. Something had been added to the water and it was providing blessed relief! Kristy shyly glanced at her Mistress and noticed a slight smile playing around her lips.
"Thank you, Mistress," she said, true gratitude plain to hear in her voice.
"Kristy, you need to realise that what we do is not intended to maim you or make you any less of a person" Sue told her. "You were a truly appalling person when I first saw you, but your Master saw your potential. He believes in you and your ability to transform yourself into a truly complete & sensual woman. He also recognised your deeply buried need to be submissive, and we have been working to bring this to the fore." Sue paused and looked searchingly at Kristy. "Tell me truly, and take your time to think about this, Kristy," she said, "can you honestly say that since you have come under your Master's influence, you have not experienced fulfilment that is deeper and more powerful than anything you have previously enjoyed?"
The question shocked Kristy. Before she had been thinking of her situation as nothing but slavery and punishment for the mere gratification of those holding power over her. However, Sue's question had opened up a whole new range of possibilities and she stood, rooted to the spot as she carefully examined both what had happened to her and her feelings. After some time had passed, she was reluctantly forced to admit that her previous life had been full of restrictions that she had placed upon herself. She had dictated the terms of a very narrow range of behaviour, both inside and out of the bedroom and was beginning to see how much she had denied herself in the process. Despite being forced into submission, she had to acknowledge that since that first evening on the island, she had experienced better and more powerful orgasms that she had ever felt before. She was also more in tune with her body's needs and demands. She raised eyes full of wonder to her Mistress.
"I can't deny it, Mistress," she said.
"So can we now count on your whole hearted participation in your transformation?" Sue asked.
Kristy hesitated. She was scared of the punishments dealt out and a tiny part of her still rebelled at her captivity.
"What are you going to do to me?" she asked in a small voice?
"We shall continue as we started," Sue replied. "We will mould you into a beautiful, elegant woman, full of grace, both physical and mental. A woman completely in touch with her own feelings and her body's desires."
Kristy paused and looked down at the floor as she took all of this in. She also realised with a shock, that her Mistress was calling her by her real name, and not addressing her as 'slave'! A potent indication that her situation was changing! Eventually she raised her head and looked steadily at her Mistress.
"Yes, Mistress," she said, quietly but firmly. "I will cooperate with you fully."
She was rewarded with a genuine smile as Sue walked towards the shower. She lifted a towel from the rail and held it out to Kristy.
"Here," she said gently. "Dry yourself off. You have a long day ahead of you."
As a measure of trust, Sue left Kristy alone in the bathroom and went to see that breakfast was laid out for them both in a small, intimate dining room. She returned to find that Kristy had dried her hair and was automatically putting it into a tight braid.
"That won't be necessary today, Kristy," she said, smiling at her.
When Kristy let her hands fall to her side, Sue picked up the unfinished braid and loosened it, relieving the tension that was already starting to build at Kristy's scalp. Then she deftly plaited the remaining length and tied it off. Kristy still had a high braid, but it was nowhere near as painful as those previously imposed upon her.
Sue led the naked woman to the dining room and indicated that she should sit at the table. Dishes had been laid out and there was a selection of fresh fruit as well as two bowls of muesli, one for each woman. There was also fresh yoghurt and honey on hand, together with a steaming pot of ginseng & ginger tea.
When Kristy held back, Sue smiled once more.
"Eat, Kristy," she said. You have a long and hard day ahead of you!"
Kristy needed no further prompting and took several succulent slices of peach, plum and melon, adding them to her muesli before coating everything with a generous dollop of yoghurt. As she tucked into her meal, Sue outlined her day.
"We have set a schedule for you to follow each day this week," she told Kristy. "In the mornings you will have 1 hour in the gym with a personal trainer. You will follow this with 1 hour in the pool. You will then be allowed to sunbathe until 1 hour before lunch. You will receive a massage to keep your muscles & skin as smooth as possible. Lunch will consist of a carefully balanced protein shake. You will be working hard so we don't want to overload your stomach!" she explained. "After lunch you will be allowed an hour's free time to read. A selection of books has been placed in your room for this purpose. You will then have your deportment lessons. I warn you, these will be extremely demanding," Sue said. "We have found that the most effective way of teaching and of swift absorption by the student is by the means of discipline."
Kristy winced as she remembered what form the 'discipline' would take!
"After deportment, you will be allowed to rest until dinner," Sue continued. "You will be expected to serve at table. It is very important that you learn the correct way to serve your Master. After dinner, we will retire to the study, where you will receive further training & instruction. Your last session each day will consist of any punishment you have incurred together with body conditioning."
Kristy was a little overawed at the sheer intensity of the programme. She suddenly realised that a lot of time and effort was being put into her.
Sue poured tea for them both and when Kristy grimaced at the taste, she added a little honey to her cup to sweeten it.
"Drink, Kristy" she advised. "This tea will give your body energy for the day ahead."
Kristy dutifully drank the hot tea, relieved that the honey smoothed the sharp taste somewhat. When they had both finished, Sue rose from the table and told Kristy to follow her back to the bedroom.
