One week later, Marie drove up a familiar driveway, parking in front of the large house. Her heart was in her throat, but she leapt out of the car as soon as she could, bounding eagerly up the steps to the front door. She knocked, and then checked her watch, as she waited impatiently.
She'd been about a minute early, and the door opened almost exactly on time, pulled open by a familiar young man in a suit who she now knew as Seven. He bowed to her as she entered, and wordlessly gestured one arm to the welcoming committee.
The entrance hall was large and ornate, with a central staircase, at the top of which stood Katy. Or as Marie was now to refer to her, Mistress. Number One. Her long blonde hair spilled down her back in elegantly styled curls, and she wore a black and white patterned dress which showed off the curves of her body.
"Welcome, Number Six," her voice smooth and reassuring. "I am so glad you decided to join us permanently. Say hello, everyone."
There was a chorus of greetings from everyone else. Numbers Two and Three, who Marie remembered vividly from her last visit, flanked Number One at the top of the stairs. Two was a muscled, dark skinned man with short hair, currently in a well fitting buttoned shirt, with a warm smile on his face. Three was a petite East Asian woman in an elegant red gown. Her expression was unreadable to Marie.
To the side, at the base of the steps, stood two more that Marie had not yet met in person. Four was a tanned man with a sharp face and shoulder length black hair, wearing a suit. He waved cheerfully with one arm, the other wrapped around the shoulders of Number Five. She was pale-skinned redhead, her sleeveless green dress showing off the flower tattoos that covered her entire left arm. She grinned eagerly at Marie, and blew her a quick kiss as the others talked.
"Thank you," Marie said in response to the greetings. "I, I can't believe I'm actually here. I've been thinking about this all week."
One chuckled at this. "Well, it's good to see you're eager. But now you're here, things will run on my schedule, do you understand?"
Marie nodded. "Yes, mistress."
"Excellent. Do not worry, we'll have a full gathering this evening, to welcome you fully, carnally, into our little group. And I want you ready for this. Under no circumstances are you to orgasm from now until when I give you permission. Both yourself, and anyone who helped her will be severely punished otherwise, do I make myself clear?"
Marie joined in the chorus of "Yes, mistress," from everyone.
"And speaking of rules," One continued, "you should be aware of the permanent ones. The hierarchy, obviously, is to be obeyed at all times, except when superseded by my orders. There are two long term standing orders - Three's situation you're already aware of, but to reiterate, she may never refuse anal penetration. And as for Seven, he does have to obey your orders, but neither you nor anyone else may remove his chastity cage unless I give permission. I may create other rules, temporary or otherwise, entirely at my whim, and you will be expected to obey them all perfectly or be punished. Is this clear?"
Marie gulped. "Yes mistress." The nervous feeling inside her increased at the mention of punishment, which only amplified the eagerness she was feeling.
"Very good. For now, Number Five will show you to your room, and explain the duties you will be faced with. Seven, bring up her luggage. Everyone else, make sure you are prepared for this evening in addition to your normal instructions." With that, she turned and walked off, Numbers Two and Three following her.
Five ran forward, and eagerly embraced Marie in a hug. "Oh, it's so good to meet you," she exclaimed before pulling away, tugging Marie by the hand. "Come on, this way!"
Marie followed her through the large house, as Five chattered away. "So firstly, the duties, as Mistress called them. You'll be helping me and Six - well Seven now - in looking after the place, and serving the others. Make the food, keep the place clean, wait on them hand and foot. Don't worry, with three of us now, it'll be easy. And unless you mess up really badly, the punishments are usually quite enjoyable." Five chuckled at that last one. "You'll end up with some other regular duties as well - some of those above us like predictable servicing, if you know what I mean, but you'll have to be told that by them."
Five pushed open a door, and Marie followed her into a room dominated by a large poster bed. Cupboards and shelves dotted the walls, and there was a comfy looking armchair next to a window overlooking the gardens.
"This will be your room," Five said. "You may be visited at any time by anyone outranking you, so you're to keep it clean and tidy. Though if you order Seven to do that for you, no one will complain. It's what I do," she winked conspiratorially.
"Any questions at this stage? It's all quite simple in practice really - just do as you're told and enjoy it," Five finished.
"I don't think so," Marie replied.
"Good. Then strip," Five ordered.
"What?" Marie responded, taken by surprise at the sudden change in tone.
"We've got until evening," Five said. "Just because you can't cum doesn't mean I can't. I'd like to say I'm getting you all eager so you'll please Mistress more later, but the truth is I'm horny now. So strip."
Marie did so, quickly and eagerly, the tension she'd been feeling eager for release. Five sat down in the armchair to watch, and when she'd finished, motioned with her hand in a circle for Marie to spin.
Marie did so, noting the eagerness in Five's eyes as she looked her up and down. "Come here and kiss me," Five said, and Marie bent to do so, feeling hands stroke her all over as their lips touched together.
After a long moment, Marie felt a hand push her head downwards. Five slipped the shoulder straps of both dress and bra off and moved Marie's mouth to her breasts, moaning softly as Marie went to work. Eager and enjoying herself, she began to move a hand between her own legs, only for Five to wordlessly grab her wrist and stop her.
Then the other hand grabbed the back of her hair and pulled her away. "On your knees," Five said, and stood as Marie did so, pulling off the rest of her own clothes. To Marie's surprise, the tatoos continued from her arm onto her torso, the vines and stalks of the flowers melding into stark letters forming crude words. Everyone's Whore was written beneath her breasts, and lower down was simply Fuck Me, with an arrow pointing downwards. The vines extended around, implying there was more on her back, though Marie couldn't see for certain as Five sank back into the armchair, spreading her legs.
"You've been pretty good with your mouth so far," she said. "Let's see if you've really got skill."
She gave no specific order, but what she wanted was clear, and Marie eagerly moved her mouth forwards to taste her. She started slow, letting her tongue run all over, and as Five began to moan, she licked more and more at her clit, enjoying the feeling of service, of pleasing another.
She continued, feeling herself getting more eager, becoming more desperate for pleasure herself. And then, suddenly, there was a male voice. "What are you doing?" it demanded.
Startled, Marie tried to pull away, only to find Five's hands in her hair, and her legs gripping her head. Uncertain, she held there for a bit as she heard Five speak. "Just enjoying the newcomer. I'm sure Mistress would prefer her warmed up for this evening, don't you?"
"You were meant to be explaining her duties. Let her go."
Five did so, and Marie looked behind her to see Number Four standing in the doorway, looking at the two naked women. Marie knelt awkwardly on the floor, and began to try and cover herself up before catching herself.
Four smirked at that. "Well, I suppose there's some benefit to warming her up. But I'll do that. You really should be punished."
Five laughed. "Hypocrite," she said with a grin.
Four raised an eyebrow. "And for that." He reached into a pocket and removed a pouch from which he took a small vibrator. "If you want pleasure so badly, you can have it. Get yourself right to the edge, and then stop. Repeat until I tell you otherwise." He tossed it over to Five in the armchair.
Marie heard the vibrator begin to start as Four strode towards her. She stayed on her knees, uncertain whether she should move as he loomed over her. "Let's see if you're any better with a dick than you are with a pussy," he said, undoing his fly.
He was already erect, and Marie eagerly opened her mouth moving forwards to begin. Despite his words, he gripped her head and shoved it in roughly, giving her little chance to try actively doing anything as he began to fuck her face.
Spit mingled with precum and dripped from her mouth as he continued, giving her no chance to rest. She gasped in air through her nose and clutched his legs with her hands in an attempt to steady herself as she found herself used.
She had no idea how long this continued until she heard a sudden "Stop!" The dick was removed from her mouth as Four stepped away, and she gasped in air.
Standing in front of her was Number Three, an angry frown on her face. "Honestly, you two are pathetic. There's a reason you're not allowed proper authority - you think of nothing but your own physical pleasure. My dear Six, I apologise for their behaviour."
Marie wasn't sure what to say to that. Honestly, she'd been enjoying herself, having looked forward to her submission for a while now.
After a few moments, when it was clear Marie wasn't going to speak, Three continued. "Let's have some proper fun, shall we? You two, set up the cuffs there."
As the other two moved to obey her orders, Three helped Marie to her feet, surprisingly gently. "I didn't expect this from you," Marie admitted, "after my last visit."
Three chuckled softly. "Oh, don't worry. I had to be quick then, as I didn't have long. Now I have you as long as I like. And make no mistake. I will hurt you. And I will enjoy it." She had a wicked grin as she spoke, her tone disconcertingly friendly.
"Come on then," she said, leading Marie forwards. Marie saw the other two had set up cuffs on the end of the four poster bed, using the pillars for where the arms would go.
Gently but firmly, the three of them spread her limbs, adjusting the cuffs until she was spread-eagled. Her legs were wide apart, her arms held high, and she faced away from the bed towards Number Three, unable to escape.
Three moved in, gently stroking Marie's face. "Oh, I'm going to enjoy this."
And then Four moved behind her, raising the back of her dress. "Take all the time you want with that. As you stopped me taking my pleasure with her, I'll fuck your arse as you do so."
Instantly, Three reached behind her, and Four's eyes bulged as she did something to his crotch Marie couldn't see. "I can't refuse you of course," Three purred dangerously, "but if you go through with that, not only will you be cleaning the mess up with your own mouth, but you'll be spending all of tomorrow in the dungeon with me. How does that sound?"
