Chapter 1 - The Training of a Young Male
"Come in young man" my new landlady greeted me at the door to her house in North London, "let me look at you properly."
I stood awkwardly in her sitting room as she walked around me and then finally sat down, still studying me intently. I had not expected this, but then I had not really known what to expect. The student lodgings bureau had given me the contact and I'd never searched for accommodation before so I accepted this minute examination.
"You seem clean and respectable enough. How old are you young man?" she asked.
"Eighteen." I replied simply.
"Now, if you are to have lodgings here, I should like that we start off on the right foot please. I only like nice polite young men as my lodgers. I am Mrs Jackson and I like my young men to call me by that name. Do you think you can do that?"
"Yes Mrs Jackson."
"Now try answering my question properly and tell me exactly how old you are and how tall you are as well please." she interrogated.
"I'm eighteen and one month Mrs Jackson" I stammered and for good measure as I was so taken aback added her name a second time, "and five foot seven inches tall Mrs Jackson."
"Good lad. Just a man then, good. You may now sit." she gestured me at last with a slight smile for the first time.
And so started my residence with Mrs Jackson, my new landlady as she proceeded to tell me the rules of her house. That I would return from my studies at six each evening and no later and that I would not be late for meals. She showed me to my room which was neat and tidy but told me that I would only be allowed my books and enough clothes to fill the small wardrobe and no other possessions. As I'd been used to a regimented life as a schoolboy and I had very few clothes and no real possessions anyway, I had no idea that these terms were in any way unusual.
"You unpack now, and tidily mind!" she told me, "then as it is nearly meal time, come downstairs as quickly as you can."
"Yes Mrs Jackson." I complied.
The meal was adequate but basic. Mrs Jackson did not eat with me but left me to eat at the kitchen table while she took her meal in her dining room. Afterwards she called me through.
"As you have no studies yet, I can't have you idle. Take my plate please and clear away. Then wash up and put everything away. You can take your time and find out for yourself where everything goes, then when you have done, bring me through a cup of tea here please. Weak and milky with one sugar."
"Yes Mrs Jackson." I nodded.
When I brought her the tea, she was watching TV but she switched it off and gestured to me to put it down beside her armchair. Sipping it, she studied me again as she had on my arrival.
"Young men that stay here have to obey my rules," she explained, "I only take one young male at a time and I am very particular. You seem nicely built, perhaps a bit underdeveloped. What is your weight?"
"I'm about ten stone Mrs Jackson."
"Yes, a little slight, but no bad thing. Shall we work on your development do you think? Would you like that?"
"I suppose Mrs Jackson."
"What do you mean suppose!" she smiled, "you will study to improve your brain, why not exercise to develop your physique?"
"Yes Mrs Jackson."
"Now, that is the nicest thing you can ever say to me. Don't forget that will you. Try it again." she laughed.
"Yes Mrs Jackson." I smiled too.
The next day I went to the University for the first time and although some of my new friends seemed keen to get together and stay on in the student union, I left and returned to Mrs Jackson and this set the pattern for the week with me washing up and preparing her tea. Each evening a little questioning, but now I had studies and so was sent to my room each evening. That is until Friday night when Mrs Jackson told me that there was no need to study as I had the whole weekend in front of me.
"But I have arranged to meet up with some friends tomorrow." I explained.
Mrs Jackson looked darkly at me.
"You have arranged to meet friends, Mrs Jackson!" she snapped at me.
"Sorry Mrs Jackson, I forgot."
"Yes, and you forgot that you should ask me if you want to meet your friends," she said. "you are my responsibility while you live here and you ask my permission."
"I'm sorry Mrs Jackson, I didn't realise."
I still had no idea that this was unusual, that she was just my landlady and I could come and go as I pleased. I was still thinking as if I was living at home.
"Who are these friends? Are there any girls?" she questioned.
I told her that it was just four of us and we were all male students. She told me that I could go but gave me instructions on my return. Then she returned to her theme.
"You can still study over the weekend, but I want to show you this. Follow me please young man."
I was led to a room I'd not seen before. Plain white walls and a tiled floor it contained some items of gymnasium equipment; a rowing machine and an exercise bicycle. There were various hooks on the wall too and one in the ceiling but the purpose of these was not immediately obvious. The leather whip hanging by the door was obvious though.
"This is the room where I exercise my young males," she smiled archly and laughing added, "to keep them in good condition."
I've not described Mrs Jackson until now, but perhaps I should do so now as the surroundings seem to enhance her, to make her stand out more. She was probably in her early thirties, with medium length dark hair, lovely blue eyes and now I could see, with a startlingly shapely figure.
I felt myself stiffen slightly and she spotted it immediately.
"Good boy," she breathed at me, "you like it in here don't you? I thought you would."
She stroked the back of my neck as she said this, sending a shiver up my spine. My penis erected completely, there was no hiding this from her.
"Yes, you do like it. I hoped you would from the day you arrived here. Most males can be trained to it, but I could see you would be naturally susceptible to domination by the female of our species." she chuckled at her formal phraseology.
The back of her hand brushed my fly as she spoke, causing my penis to jerk.
"A new young and powerful virile male in my power," she spoke softly and seductively, "are you ready to move onwards to the next level now my darling K?"
She used my name for the first time.
"Say, 'Yes Mistress Rachel', if you are ready. That is my name for you now slave." she instructed.
"Yes Mistress Rachel." I croaked, my throat dry with excitement.
"Well then, please your new Mistress by showing her your naked body. I want to see my new possession."
I hesitated as to how to react.
"Strip! Now, immediately!" she snapped at me, slapping my ass. An unmistakeable order.
I fumbled at by shirt buttons.
