We are climbing the stairwell to the Master's Suite. It is time for my favorite of rituals. My sister slaves don't appreciate Worship as I do. I am First Among Equals so there is a certain expectation that I would be exuberant about it. They are always jockeying for favor with Him. Even when they are being punished or disciplined, they curry Master's favor.
Master is wise though and sees through their petulant pretenses. I know they look on me as the unlovely one; my body heavier, my age older, my bosom slightly fallen. Yet I have served Master all these years and He has always found my devotion to Him to be, not only heartfelt, but exuberant. Worship is my time to express my love for Him beyond obedience.
"He hasn't been with any of us for over a week," they youngest sister slave says.
"I thought He might take me yesterday, but He just took a cane to my fanny," her sister slave added. I try not to let a smile cross my face, my red hair falling over my eyes as we climb the stairs.
We take turns at Worship. This week is my time. While my sister slaves will be in the room to attend to Master's needs if necessary, they will not be able to interfere or meddle in my time. We arrive at the threshold of the Master's Suite. It is nearly time. The girls start to knock but I stop them, still in authority over them.
"Be still, there now," I chide the one raising her hand, slapping it with my own. She pulls it back with a face of surprise. It amazes me when they are taken aback when I still correct them for things they already know.
"I'm sorry Sister," she whispers aware of our proximity to Master. I soften my expression but still remain firm.
"Five swats before bed tonight. Remind me."
"Yes Sister." I turn back to the door and wait until I hear the first chime of the nineteenth hour come from downstairs. I knock immediately upon it registering on my ears.
"Come." Master's voice is rich like chocolate to my ears and I open the double doors and usher the sisters in. They are wearing their evening dresses that fit closely to their younger, lithe bodies. Master has just emerged from bathing and is wearing his long robe. I am wearing my gauze-like nightgown. In the low light of the candles, Master can make out the silhouette of my nakedness beneath. The girls immediately without having to ask begin their tasking for the evening: turning down the bed, preparing His wine goblet, closing the windows.
I take my position kneeling in front of the high back, cushioned, chair that is positioned throne-like on a small pedestal, in the sitting room of the Master Suite. Beyond is the fantasy land of His bed chamber where my fondest memories and most exquisite fantasies lie.
Master is no longer a young man. Perhaps that is why the young slaves still maintain a petulance about them that would make me uncomfortable. Now in His late forties, I have noticed that His libido while still rugged and virile, doesn't have that seemingly insatiable nature it once had when I was first enslaved by Him. How vividly I remember how every one of my holes could expect to be filled with his staff on a daily basis at times. There is a sadness in the ways of time, even as I have watched it turn my once voluptuous frame into one of settled girth.
As the girls move off to do chores, Master comes and stands over me, juxtaposing Himself between the chair and I. I lower my gaze respectfully. I feel his hand, warm, large caress my cheek.
"Hello precious girl," His voice sings to me. I let my gaze rise affectionately now that I have been recognized. His face, wise and full of compassion, looks on me thoughtfully. I smile at His obvious affection for me.
"What brings you to my parlor?" His rhetorical question is playful and unnecessary.
"This fat one seeks the privilege of Worshipping your totem tonight." I see his face frown slightly.
"Do you think I feel you are too fat?" The question takes me by surprise.
"Master, I am fat."
"Have I ever made that an issue for you?"
"No, Master. You have never made me feel anything but lovely in Your sight." It was true. His gaze was always amorous and desirous despite my weight.
"I will hear no more of this."
