Chapter 5
Roberta's training starts
"She's planning something I just know it. Every time we're alone Sandy's on that computer, until he comes in, then she switches the screen to the business accounts. If he gets close she asks him some mundane question which he runs from. He hates to even look at the accounts let alone check up on her," Melanie explained.
"Maybe she's planning to escape but that doesn't mean she'll take us too," Roberta pointed out to her friend.
"She couldn't just leave you to be sold to some stranger and I'd be sent back to that awful man," Melanie complained.
"Are you sure about that? How can someone be a slave these days! Surely you could have just walked out and reported him," Roberta said. The skepticism was still there but less definite.
"OK! We can't walk away from here, across the desert, but if we worked for some guy in a big house we could get away surely," she said in exasperation.
"You don't know what its like," Melanie snorted.
"What was it like then?" Roberta asked, trying to get her to talk.
"I'd rather forget about it," Melanie said, once more. She looked away not wanting to recall the images of such a painful memory.
"If we don't get out of here I'd like to at least go to the same place as you. I assume you're going back to the same place?" Roberta asked.
"You don't understand, of course I'm going back to that man, he owns me, I'm his slave," Melanie said, through gritted teeth. "You won't be asked where you want to go, you'll be sent to whoever pays the highest price," Melanie told her angrily. "We are slaves and you had better get that into your head or you'll have a hard time of it," she warned her.
"Help me out then, tell me what its like," Roberta sighed. She looked around the barn wondering if it might be preferable living in a comfortable house, even if it meant submitting to a so-called master. It would be uncomfortable sleeping in a barn, in a stall, on a bed of straw. The thin old blanket didn't hold back the prickly straw enough or keep out the cold.
Melanie looked at her friend seeing the look of wretchedness that was so unlike her and relented. She was always full of fun and this look of misery was too much to bear. She decided to tell her what had happened since they played around packing ready to move into the new apartment.
She intended to convince her friend it was possible to become a slave and that's exactly what they had become. They were slaves and the sooner she realized it the easier it would be to withstand the training.
"It was a big expensive house, richly decorated in a Roman style. He must have had a thing about ancient Rome. Anyway, I just had to do as I was told it is as simple as that. It was at a party that I got into trouble and was sent here to be trained. All the slaves were dressed in brief outfits showing off their bits. Yes, me too, in front of about twelve men and their slaves," Melanie recounted.
"Of course I didn't want to, I just had to wear what I was given, that's what slaves do," she explained. "When first there I gave in because I was drugged, but later the oppressive atmosphere of the place pushed me into just going along with it," Melanie said, trying to excuse her behavior but still feeling pathetic for giving in so easily.
"The master expected me to obey him and I just went along with the other slaves. You know, when in Rome!" Melanie tried to make light of it.
"A large muscular man strode in, dressed as a gladiator or Roman soldier or something; he was a part of the entertainment. As he strode around the room he recounted an epic battle with a big loud voice throwing in bawdy remarks. He goosed or even spanked the slaves as he toured the room which I decided to avoid."
"My master was away somewhere so to keep out of the way I squat at another mans feet, hoping to be missed out."
"Yes, I suppose he was well built and handsome in a rugged sort of way. He stopped behind me and goosed me like some of the other slaves. Unlike the others I pushed away from the man in front of me trying to get up ready to give the stranger a telling off," Melanie shivered at the memory.
"He must have realized I was a novice and didn't know how to behave like a disciplined slave. The other slaves just kissed the head of his cock, or pretended to depending on their master's wishes," Melanie said.
"You're joking! These women were dressed as slaves and actually kissed a strangers cock at a party?" Roberta laughed, in embarrassment.
"Not all of them. Some masters ordered them to pretend. He only stopped for a moment at each one, all the time blaring out the story. Anyway, before I could make a fuss he grabbed my hips and thrust in. In my pussy of course! I didn't have a chance to do anything I was still bent over trying to get up. Of course I didn't enjoy it!" she complained at another of Roberta's interruptions.
"Everyone was watching and cheering as though my being fucked were a part of the show. I wasn't ready for him either," Melanie suddenly cut off, reddening with embarrassment.
"So who were you ready for?" Roberta chuckled. She prodded her friend's shoulder with a hard finger, "Come on you can tell me," she goaded.
"This nice guy, I was leaning on his knees. Don't be so crude, I wasn't doing anything naughty to him. Because I wasn't his slave that's why! I know, I can't help referring to myself as a slave but after that experience and the training here, well, you'll find out," Melanie sighed.
"He wasn't my master so of course I wouldn't have blown him, as you so crudely put it," Melanie said, in a far away voice, then shrugged her shoulders.
"You mean you would blow a man's cock just because you're told he's your master?" Roberta asked her friend. She looked at her with eyes wide in astonishment. She knew this woman had refused to blow a steady boyfriend. Melanie just didn't like it and wouldn't do it.
"I've been practicing," she said, and lifted her head with pride, before realizing what she had admitted.
All Roberta could do was flap a pair of open lips in astonishment, unable to produce a word.
"I haven't told you the worst bit yet! I'd been talking to this nice man, didn't ask his name, getting on fine with him. When the Roman entertainer thrust in I was pushed into his lap. The nice guy watched, with a look of surprise turning to amusement, while I was being fucked by that nasty stranger. His piercing blue eyes held mine so I couldn't close them or look away. I couldn't say a damn thing either. What could I say, 'do you mind if I brace myself on your knees while this complete stranger fucks me', Melanie angrily spat.
She calmed herself and continued. "I tried to keep my head from nodding in rhythm with the man's powerful thrusts. It was terrible, the most humiliating moment of my life. A man I wanted to get to know, that might have helped me escape and he was watching me being taken by a stranger."
"I felt like a stupid bitch on heat pounced on by a stray dog. I remember now, I gripped his knees real tight when that stranger shot his load into me. I must have cum too for I slumped across his knees. Hell! No wonder my master was so angry," Melanie giggled.
"Next day my master sent me here to be trained," she said.
Roberta managed to close her mouth and shook her head to clear it. This was certainly not the virtuous young woman she had shared an apartment with for two years. The giggle sounded as though it might rise to hysteria so she interrupted with another question.
"What happened to you here?" Roberta asked. The anxiety in her voice surprised her. A little shiver shook her naked body. The sun was going down and it was getting cold but it was a touch of fear that shook her.
"We get up early so best get some rest. If I know you you'll fight him all the way so save your strength, get some rest. Shush! You aren't me so he'll use a different tactic on you. He fits the method to the slave," Melanie said, trying to avoid telling her.
Melanie didn't want to frighten her friend or reveal how degrading the training had been. Since her friend had turned up she had become aware of how much she had given in to it and how debased her behavior had become. It had been easier to accept out here with no-one to compare with or anyone to judge her.
"Here, let's snuggle up, to keep warm," she offered. Roberta looked as though she might refuse the close contact, as they were both naked except for a leather harness. She quickly relented. It was easy to see they both needed the closeness as a comfort, their only comfort for the foreseeable future.
Next day, just before dawn, Sandy woke the two girls with a shake of their shoulders. They were like spoons in a draw and had been all night, only waking just long enough to turn in unison. Melanie pulled Roberta up onto her feet for she found it particularly hard getting up so early and wasn't used to such rough conditions.
"You're kidding me right?" Roberta asked when she was led to a metal grid set into concrete in the middle of the barn. Melanie held onto Roberta's shoulders as the young woman tried to position her ass over the hole.
