"Oh he's cute!" That was mistress Amelia's assesment of me as she saw me tending to her mother's gardens.
I did not dare look up. Looking up at the mistress could be considered a punishable offense unless I had been given permission.
"Where is he from? How old is he? What's his name?" She excitedly asked my overseer, lady Freya.
I heard Miss Freya laughing. "He's from the Pacific penal colonies, my lady. Earthling. Around twenty. Your mother purchased him on her last trip three weeks ago on a twenty year lease, isn't that right Chester?"
Miss Freya was an imposing Amazonian, close to seven feet tall. I turned towards her looking up as her brown leather boots came to view, my eyes tracking up to the muscular woman in her blue jeans and khaki shirt. Her face was pretty though obstructed by her big sunglasses and her hair was jet black and kept in a severe bun. In her brown leather gloved hand was a wicked black synthetic switch, the effects of which I was more than familiar with by this point.
"Yes ma'am," I replied, "Chester V, prisoner ID# B2978. I am at the service of the house of Mars." That was what I was expected to reply. The hundred year old terms of defeat allowed Martian colonies to take in upto ninety thousand slaves per year from Earth. Now that the relationship between the planets have thawed, the Earth Coalition now just uses it as a means to flog off prisoners to rich households like this one.
"What did you do to be a prisoner, Chester?" Mistress Amelia questioned. I looked up at miss Freya unsurely.
"Continue your work boy, you are already behind schedule," she scolded me. I nodded, going back to pulling out the weeds.
"I think pickpocketing and vandalism. Nothing too major," I heard miss Freya speak on behalf of me to the mistress.
"He is cute," I heard the mistress speak again, this time I may have blushed a little. She herself was majestic, I remembered when she came home from her class in the red hovercar. Medium length wavy blonde hair and voluptuous, her body quite athletic looking. I clean the gym after she is done and I can attest to her working out quite a lot.
"Fancy the brat?" Miss Freya teased her.
"I do," said Mistress Amelia, getting my heart to flutter. What did that mean? "Has he been spanked yet?"
I almost turned around at the question!
"Of course, plenty of times!" Miss Freya laughed. "He's been with us for three weeks and is fairly lazy and mouthy."
"Aww!" Mistress Amelia cooed which made me blush even more. "Freya, I'd like to be in charge of his punishments from today."
"What?" I turned around in shock, not realising that I dared to look at her. She looked even more beautiful today in a red tight minidress which showed off her long tanned legs. Her eyes were red, the distinguishing characteristic of Martian nobility and she wore dorky glasses which somehow made her look soft, tender.
Soft and tender being two words that would never be used to describe Freya who raised her switch up high. "Impudent brat, who gave you permission to look?"
"Aaahh, I'm sorry mistress!" I raised my hands to...well I guess it was instinctive. The woman terrified me! Her whippings while magnetically cuffed to the beam was excruciating.
"Freya, no," I heard my goddess speak. "I'll deal with him for that."
I turned and planted my head at her feet. "I apologise my lady! Please discipline me as you see fit, my bottom belongs to you." I begged.
"He really *is* cute." I heard her say.
"He's also lazy," lady Freya noted, "Chester was supposed to finish weeding the garden by five and he'd have done only half of it. If you do intend to discipline him... make sure you give him a nice long dose of the strap as well."
I didn't dare move. Her soft hand caressed my wavy black locks and massaged my scalp. "You'll come to my quarters by six sweetheart. Mistress will deal with your naughty behind."
It was unnerving just how playful she was being. If this was Earth before I was caught, I'm sure both of us would be naked in five minutes after words like that. But now...she held all the power, even more than my torturer holding the switch.
"Make sure he's washed and smells nice, Freya." I heard her footsteps go faint as she took her leave. Ten seconds later the familiar swish of the synthetic switch was accompanied by sharp pain across my bottom covered in just the regulation thin white fabric of my pants. Underwear was not permitted and the bottom part of my pants were special Martian velcro which allowed Freya to bare me on a moments notice.
"Ooww!" I squeaked at the lash but waited for her command to get up. "You sly, lucky little bugger. Get up!"
I blinked in surprise at the tone. I looked up at her to see her smiling.
"Ma'am?" I asked unsurely.
"You've got it made!" She laughed. "Three times, boy. Three times she called you 'cute'." Freya affectionately ruffled my hair, a gesture from her which was as alien to me as this planet three weeks ago.
"Umm..what does that mean? Like, does she...expect things?" I asked, realising just how timid I sounded.
"Depends," she chuckled, "Lady Amelia's not the type who is interested in men. Or women for that matter. She's a bit of an enigma." Freya pointed at the weeds. I was still on the clock and I realised my scheduled spanking from the beautiful young mistress would get more intense if i slacked off.
I did notice that Freya wasn't as enthusiastic about striping my backside with the switch as she had been. "It's time brat, not bad," she decided. I did get the hang of the technique by the end.
