I began to look around slowly, trying to focus on anything to help keep my mind off the trembling, shivering body. My owner's house was always kept on the cold side, and my naked, thin, and hairless body wasn't doing me any favors. Admittedly, anticipation, fear, and nervousness were likely contributing to the chill making its way up my spine, as well. I did my best to remain still, in spite of this, as my owner demanded discipline and obedience at all times. Being in this position, on my knees with my back straight and my arms bound behind my lower back was more than uncomfortable however, and I constantly felt the urge to roll into a ball and warm myself. The cold steel handcuffs keeping my wrists bound chafed and chilled, most likely hand-selected to make me suffer further.
Almost a contrast to my cold suffering, my owner's bedroom seemed almost warm and inviting. Her large canopy bed was covered in a beautiful red silk comforter, meticulously kept made and clean by me, her personal slave attendant. The ornate curtains covering her windows were closed, and the overhead light relatively dim, giving the room a cozy and warm feel. A large flowing dress hung near the bed, and with luck I would have the honor of helping her into it later, assuming I did not find myself locked in the cage in the corner for disappointing her.
My mind slowly returned to my situation, however, and my nervousness became worse. I looked up and to my left, taking in the long chain locked on a hook about four feet above me, hung next to the door to the large master bathroom. On the other end, the chain connected to a tight pink, and also locked, collar around my neck. While the handcuffs physically bound me, the chain almost served as a symbol of my slavery. Before entering the bathroom, my owner had nonchalantly dragged me over here and locked my chain to this hook, like one would lock a dog's leash to a post before entering a store or restaurant. I blushed thinking about this, humiliated and realizing how truly low I was.
My thoughts were interrupted suddenly by the sound of flowing water, and then heavy footsteps on the tile in the bathroom behind the door. It swung open, and my owner, my Mistress, emerged. She was still wearing her nightgown, her large pear-shaped body visible through the relatively clear fabric. She was a large woman, a Goddess in my eyes, and her very presence controlled the room as she entered. She turned to face me, and I, as trained, averted my eyes from her gaze and looked down at the floor before speaking.
"Good morning, Mistress. How might this humble slave serve you?" I asked, speaking as meekly as possible.
