I awoke the next morning before Matt and managed to quietly slip out of bed without waking him. After using the toilet I padded down the passage on bare feet to the end door. I opened it slowly to avoid any squeaks, switched on the lights and gazed in awe at the dungeon and its equipment.
I remembered the gynecologists examination chair from my first visit and moved over to it, running my fingers over the soft leather, smiling to myself at the memories it evoked. Slowly I moved around the dungeon, touching and feeling the huge array of whips, ropes, leg spreaders and canes all hung neatly around the walls. A recent arrival was a custom-made massage table that had three separate sections that looked to be pneumatically controlled. The sides of the table were equipped with assorted straps and clips. The metal cage complete with a pet's feeding bowl took my eye and I stood running my hands over the cold metal bars wondering how a person could possibly fit in there.
I decided that it was time to show some of my cooking skills to Matt and I moved to the kitchen to prepare a surprise breakfast for him. The refrigerator contained bacon and eggs and it wasn't long before their aroma, along with that of toast and freshly ground coffee filled the neat kitchen.
"Mmmmm that smells good Melissa,"
Matt's voice made me jump as he strode into the room, tying a toweling robe around him and seating himself at the table.
"I hope so Sir," I smiled at him, aware of my nudity and not in least embarrassed, "I hope you slept well Sir."
"Yes I did thank you Melissa, and yourself?"
"I must admit that what you said about needing a 24/7 slave made it difficult for me to get to sleep Sir, were you serious?" I replied, as I dished out the bacon and eggs on two plates and sat down opposite my handsome Master.
Matt half smiled to himself as I set the plates on the table. "Oh yes Melissa I am deadly serious, you have a lot to learn but I'm sure you would be an excellent pupil. Eat now and we will discuss the situation fully after breakfast."
That statement seemed to end the conversation at that point and the rest of the meal was completed in silence. I kept my eyes down most of the time trying to work out what was going on, occasionally glancing up to find Matt's eyes looking straight at me as he ate. When we had finished eating Matt left me to tidy up and wash the dishes while he showered. I wished I could have showered with him but I was left with my increasingly confused thoughts. Matt had been polite to me this morning but the lack of dialogue left me wondering, surely the breakfast I had prepared had pleased him? Unsure of what I should do next I sat down at the table and awaited his return.
"Melissa come into the lounge room," Matt's voice woke me from my reverie and I quickly obeyed his instruction.
Matt, dressed in comfortable slacks and casual shirt, was standing in front on the television, inserting a tape into the VCR.
"Come here Melissa and kneel down in front of the television."
Matt's voice was firm and I quickly obeyed his instructions.
"Hands on your head, keep your back straight and watch the screen," Matt ordered.
"Yes Sir."
I watched the screen flicker to life and my heart sank as I saw the picture on the screen. It was myself in the dungeon earlier this morning and the camera followed me around the room as I made my tour of inspection.
"Did I give you permission to go into the dungeon Melissa?" Matt demanded.
"N'no Sir, you were asleep and I didn't want to wake you, I justβ¦."
"Melissa the only thing you do in this home without my permission is breath, absolutely nothing else, do you understand me?"
"Y'yes Sir I'm sorry," I stuttered in reply, thinking to myself that I should have known better after all the reading I had done over the previous few weeks.
"Sorry is not a word that is used to me Melissa, you will learn and learn the hard way that obedience is absolute. Follow me, on your hands and knees."
I could tell from his tone of voice that Sir was completely serious and I hastily crawled after him in the direction of the dungeon. I knew that if I used the safe word I could stop this immediately but I did not want to stop, deep down inside I was absolutely thrilled at being used in this fashion.
As I crawled into the dungeon Matt was standing beside the steel cage, holding up the front flap.
