Sunday 20th December, King's Jaguar
It's a beautiful crisp December mid afternoon as I take the drive in my Jaguar on the M27 for the quick 30 minute drive. The time gives me the luxury to pause and think. Since the start of the lecturing and together with the Ring research and the concern with the 'Tarsis' situation and in effect the 'black mail' threat it has been far from easy to think clearly.
The thinking takes me back to my early exploration into BDSM and this was before I became an academic and became intensely curious about ancient civilisations and ancient Egypt in particular.
My mind then leaps forward to the actual BDSM relationship I was involved with for over three years before it ended. Deeply personal it had in a way scarred me although it was correct and proper for it to have ended when it did.
As I approach Southampton and dial in the route to the Pilgrim Inn in Hythe road I am thinking about much more about the last year and the visit to the historic dig and feeling closer to discovering the object of my obsession for all those years. I also think about that time last year when on three or maybe four occasions I first saw Michelle and on seeing her that first time I had the image of 'Queen Clarissa' in mind and renewed thoughts of finding a suitable sub.
As I pulled up to the hotel car park I take a look at the two cards that were left for me last night. One from Sophie which had the words 'You make me wet' and one from Michelle with the words 'I want you inside me' and with Michelle the details of the time and venue with the cryptic message 'Legs and Doll would like to offer Tongue one of his kinky wishes on a plate as an early Christmas present and suitably gift wrapped for you. Love slave Michelle.'
The Ring of Domination presented me with the opportunity to fulfil the BDSM desire but whilst research with Sophie had been necessary I still remember that initial first conversation with Michelle where the ring's powers were still very much unexplored or understood the initial few instructions for her to accept the statue, return to the record room and remove her bra had all been followed.
But her first sexual submission with her mouth and my statement 'So the ring is not needed right?' was made when I had not been wearing the ring. The desire to have her submit willingly rather than via the will of the Ring at the time was more important. More so the following day in my flat where again I was wearing the Triskelion BDSM ring.
There was an idea that a symbol was needed to represent this brand of sexuality and lifestyle. As well, the symbol needed to be a bit mysterious. When worn, it could not attract a great deal of attention from "vanilla observers". It did have to be easily recognized by those who knew what it was. In the end, Steve Quagmyr, created an emblem reminiscent of the yin-yang design.
As a Taoist myself this has a strong appeal for me.The choice of design was influenced by a description of the ring that "O" was given in the novel "The Story of O". The ring as described in the book " . . . bore a three-spoked wheel . . . with each spoke spiralling back upon itself . . ."
Once again the Ring of Domination is safely back at my flat locked in the safe. Slave Michelle is already under the signed contract but that does not apply to Sophie. She has however been subject to the influence of the ring just the once and again with her full submission being her own choice after I had taken the ring off.
I know my slave still has a lot to learn but she is a first class student. Her friend is willing to help with the kink as much as I think she enjoys the sex, or at least sex with me, and now as I understood it Mike too. As I walk to the entrance the gravel drive, hearing the stones crunch under my foot I wonder if Sophie had mentioned to Mike what her plans were. It would have been Veronica anyway who would have agreed for both girls to have the day off. It was Sunday after all.

I go to the reception and ask for the letter that I was told would be waiting for me.
"Here you are Professor King, enjoy your short stay with us."
The receptionist was a pretty Asian girl. It was starting to become more common for Asian and Oriental employees to staff front of house roles in the hospitality industry. With my mind as ever on the ring I was curious for a second of which particular gem stone would activate for Asian or Oriental women and of course Afro Caribbean as well. Taking the joint ownership of the pub afforded me the opportunity to come into contact with many more people and in particular not connected necessary with the University. In the new year the University would become the focus for the recruitment but the plan was to have Simone primarily involved in the training but I knew I would need to rely on the ring to make the suitable submissive candidates properly trained and prepared for the 'NO LIMITS' game.
I tap the letter against my hand. I like attention to detail. I can see the girls do to. I open the letter and there is a hotel room key card and a post it note attached. Room 69! Nice. I head towards the lifts.
Sunday 20th December 1998, Southampton Pilgrim Inn am
"Hi Simone, wow what a fabulous venue, the rate was very reasonable too."
"I am pleased you like it! Having been running events for the Firehouse these passed few years I have a lot of good contacts. It's handy though it was the Sunday as they get very busy at this time of year with all the Christmas parties. Let's get a drink at the bar. I have about an hour to spare but I have bought some equipment I can use to get you prepared. I assume the arrangements are clear with your *ahem* guest. I don't want to mention names."
"Simone, you can take a picture of us. 'Doll' and 'Legs'. She's Doll and I am Legs."
"Let's see. Oh that's perfect, look Doll?"
Michelle was dressed in a black sleeveless dress showing her cleavage. She was wearing a black slim choker and various silver bangles on her left wrist and her red silk scarf.
Sophie was dressed in a white sleeveless dress with a pink graffiti pattern. She was wearing her silver and pink matching watch on her left wrist as an accessory.
"So as I discussed on the phone Simone with the Professor, we did want to give him a bit of a surprise. Michelle and I joked about a mΓ©nage a trois. But it seems it is one of the Professor's kinks anyway. But as it's intended to be an early Christmas present for him, can you kindly gift wrap us for him, roped, tied and gagged. We can play his kidnapped students so he can have his wicked way with us. You can leave us on the bed waiting."
The conversation continued over drinks with plans for Christmas and what the new year would bring. Simone checked her watch.
"I need to watch my time girls. Let's go up to the bedroom and I can get you ready. The ropes will take a bit of time. I am also planning to gag you with silver tape. I don't know exactly what the Professor's plans are but you will be totally at his mercy."
"I think that's the idea." Sophie giggled. We headed for the room.
Simone waits for us to strip naked and we put our dresses away in the hotel wardrobe. Because she explained she will tie our wrists we have to take off our wrist accessories. She notices the red silk scarf on Michelle's left wrist.
"You can leave the choker on Michelle. It's very sexy by the way! I need to leave this silk scarf on too don't I?" She smiled at Michelle.
"I will put these in this desk drawer. For goodness sake do not forget about them will you when you are ready to leave." We both nodded yes.
"This is a fabulous room. One of their best."
"Okay I will bind your ankles first. Restraints can be pretty sexy. You ankles will be pretty much hooked together so difficult to move about, I will tie your hands behind your back next. You both have fabulous bodies, as a Domme I love the female form, all curves. My beautiful sub Kelley has a great body like yours. Are you girls lesbians by the way?"
I looked at Michelle.
"No, we're not."
"Your Master might expect at least you to explore I imagine, of course I am sure he will let you know. The secret is to try and guess his mind. Expect him once he gives you some liberty from your bonds to be creative and inventive, especially you Michelle as you are the slave right?"
"Yes!".
"He has chosen well I think, but you have to get to know him well. Really well! Just remember the words in your slave contract. Try your best to live up to them."
I think Simone was particularly hinting at something but she would not elaborate. As if reading our mind she spoke softly, almost to herself.
"He has that intensity! Even after these few days since the early hours of Wednesday I can still feel his touch. The touch when I so badly wanted to cry out but could not." She ran her hands absentmindedly down her body and seemed to shiver.
Simone had finished tying our wrists together.
"Okay the only thing now is to apply the tape gag. But before that ..."
She came over to the right side of the bed where Michelle was lying and reached down and took her by the hair and pulled her up and bent to kiss her pushing her tongue into her mouth. With hands tied Michelle was powerless to resist but seemed to kiss and tongue back. After about five minutes she let Michelle rest on the bed and tore off a strip of wide silver duct tape. She taped it over Michelle's mouth as she looked up at her.
"That was nice!" She then walked around to my side of the bed.
"I've never snogged another brunette." As she taped my mouth she said.
"My sub is a blond like you Sophie. She is a great kisser too." She winked.
"Okay girls I will leave now. You are ready for Professor King. Have fun!"
And with that she left and closed the door that locked behind her.
