Saphirra was proving to be more of a challenge than Kailyn had counted on. The girl's appetite for abuse was insatiable, and her constant attention seeking was draining. When Kailyn agreed to accept Saphirra's complete and utter submission she had not been without misgivings. To begin with, Saphirra was stunningly beautiful. The depth of her midnight blue eyes never showed fear, only an instinctive trepidation. She opened herself to Kailyn from the moment they met, possessed of a trust Kailyn found inexplicable so early. Her curves were more alluring under her modest gowns, her locks more tempting in a plain twist, than any woman Kailyn had ever known. She burned to strip her, unleash her hair, and expose her to the room, to posess that unadulterated beauty if only for a few moments.
It was the level of her desire that alerted Kailyn to the potential hazards of accepting Saphirra as her slave. Only after months of intensely pleasurable yet infrequent encounters was Kailyn able to accept the girl's implicit trust. Of course, it was too late by then as she was in love with her.
Today was Saphirra's birthday. Kailyn woke Saphirra early with a kiss.
"Shall I dress for you, Mistress?" Saphirra asked sleepily, curling her warm limbs around Kailyn.
"No, I think not, precious. Bring me my robe and slippers then wait for me in the sunroom."
"Yes, Mistresse," she whispered to Kailyn's neck.
"And Saphirra?"
"Yes?"
"Draw the blinds. Today is your day in the sun."
"Yes, Mistresse."
The great sunroom opened onto an expansive deck beyond a wide arc of french doors and paned windows. Saphirra entered and found a front corner of the room had been prepared with the clawfoot hipbath, full and steaming, scented but without bubbles. The lower end of the tub faced the windows. She drew the velvet curtains, exposing herself to the lake, and felt the sunlight heat her skin. Though warm enough to dissolve her goosebumps from the walk through the chilled house, it was diffuse enough to leave her nipples erect.
The view from the windows slightly obscured the neighbors behind evergreens and showed off instead the many-tiered deck descending to the lawn and rocky beach. She could hear the subtle lapping of the lake against the beach. A light breeze drifted in from a window, caressing the moist lips of her labia, and making her shiver. She was reminded of the new sensation of a smoothly shaved pubis. Every shift of air against her naked skin awakened her lust. Saphirra almost laughed at herself. She was becoming a very naughty girl.
Saphirra sat in the garden chaisse watching the apple blossoms flutter across the lawn. There really wasn't any excuse for lazing the day away like this. Even Kailyn, in her supreme patience, must know by now that there was nothing wrong with Saphirra. But a month of her company, and the strange company of her lovers, was having an odd effect on Saphirra. The two young women were so free with their passion. Saphirra caught their glances at her. They practically taunted her. But why? She wasn't a lesbian--she would have thought that much was obvious from her surgical scar; the reason for her presence there.
"Hi, hon. How ya' feelin'?" Kailyn came up behind Saphirra and squeezed her shoulder.
She might as well get it over with. Turning to face Kailyn, she said, "I'm well, I'm perfect, thanks to you."
Kailyn came around the chaisse and sat down on the end. "No, I just gave you a space where you could relax long enough to heal yourself. You did it."
"Well, it's a beautiful space, so thank you. I love being here. I'll be sad to leave." Sad wasn't quite the perfect word, but Saphirra wasn't sure what she'd miss, exactly.
"Then don't."
"Thank you, Kailyn, you've been more than kind, but I really--"
"It's not charity, Saphirra," Kailyn interrupted harshly. "I'm asking you because I want you here."
"I don't know..." the girl hesitated, "I want to--I don't know what I want--"
"Let me spare you, Saphirra. I know you're a bit confused." Kailyn took Saphirra's hand and looked her in the eyes for an instant before she kissed her lips, long, with a graceful lingering touch. Saphirra's eyes widened; she inhaled sharply at first, but relaxed into the kiss. "I let you see the girls playing, Saphirra. I let you see us nude in the pool. I wanted to see if we'd freak you out. But I don't think we have. There is so much more I want you to be a part of. Do you trust me, Saphirra?"
"Of course. Why would you have taken me in if you didn't have my best interest in mind?"
"Saphirra, I've told you before you are very naive. There is a whole world of experiences you've probably never even tried to imagine."
"You make it sound as if I'm a virgin, Kailyn. I've had love affairs. I'm not a child."
"No, but you'd like to be, wouldn't you?" A sly grin began to steal across Kailyn's face. "In a way, you already are."
"What are you getting at?"
"Nevermind. For now, Saphirra, say you'll stay and make me happy. It makes me happy to take care of you, to touch you--" Kailyn's words trailed off as she began kissing Saphirra again, holding her sweet face in her hand.
That began their love affair. Gradually, gently, but with some mischief and suspense, Kailyn showered her life, her secrets, her brand of love on Saphirra, always allowing her an out, with no questions asked and no hard feelings, no finale ultimatums necessary. In other words, she was a tease. She gave Saphirra just a taste of domination, just enough to get her hooked and begging, finally, to be enslaved. It wasn't until she had Saphirra in this state that she let her witness the extent of Lulu and Min's submission. Saphirra swore she wanted nothing more than to be like them, and Kailyn finally consented.
Next to the bath a plush lounge chair with a high back but shallow seat stood with the leg rest elevated, looking rather like (in fact it may have been) an upholstered gyno table. It was fitted with loop and hook restraints. Saphirra hadn't seen either bath or chair since her arrival at Kailyn's modest home a week ago. The Mistresse entered with a smile, gestured for two young women armed with sponges, soaps, and lotions in basins to follow. Saphirra took her cue and stepped into the tub. She uttered a small cry from the shock of the heat on her tile-cooled feet, and Kailyn grinned as she slipped down onto the cushioned window seat in her silk ombre peignoir and mules. Blissfully contemplating Saphirra's glistening thighs in the tub, she tightened her grip on the riding crop in her right hand. As the girls in simple white gauze dresses bathed Saphirra, Kailyn outlined he rules of the day.
"Are you ready to submit yourself today, my lovely slave?"
"Yes, Mistresse. Your will is my own." Soapy hands on her breasts and buttocks were massaging away Saphirra's free will already, sending her into that alternate reality that was becoming so familiar. The Mistresse jumped to her feet and slapped her arm with the crop.
"Legs spread outside the tub, please, slave." She relaxed back onto the bench as quickly as she had risen. "Careful, I've discovered you can be quite demanding in your enslavement. I have a full night planned which I'm hopeful will not only sate your appetite but leave you begging to be released. Until then, however, you will be left alone. You will beg to be touched. You will cry for attention like a babe. At last you will beg to be allowed to touch yourself. But while you are alone, even this is not permitted. Do you understand?"
"Yes, Mistresse," Saphirra whispered and moaned as Kailyn slapped her exposed inner thigh with the crop. When she had been thoroughly cleaned, and water dipped over her hair from a basin, her Mistresse ordered her onto the chair. She took the familiar collar and cuffs from a drawer nearby and cynched them tightly around her neck, wrists, and ankles. Saphirra was then hooked to the chair -- the hooks positioned so that her legs were spread so wide the lips of her pussy opened to reveal the juices dripping from her. Kailyn dipped her finger in for a taste and stepped back to enjoy the view, licking her index finger seductively.
"Today you will not touch yourself unless ordered to do so. You will be bathed and fed. Tonight I will take you to a party in your honor. These guests are not your usual crowd. They will not whip you. They will allow you to speak - but you must keep it sexual. They will not abuse you - I've been very careful to allow your bruises to heal." Saphirra whimpered softly and stared at her mistress tearfully. Kailyn came toward her. With one rough movement the crop handle was up Saphirra's cunt.
"Don't worry, slave. I want to make sure you are properly warmed up for them. I'll take you aside and give you the treatment you deserve - out of their sight."
"Thank you, Mistresse," Saphirra whispered her relief.
"Now I will leave you. You can make as much noise as you like. If you have a legitimate need, however, you will ask politely and the girls will assist you. You may or may not see me again before tonight." Kailyn turned to the handmaidens. "Girls, you have free range to play in her presence. You will not touch her until I give my word."
"Yes, Kailyn."
