five --
I acknowledge the purity of your candor and thank you for it, but I am deeply shocked and dismayed at your behavior. You have adhered to the letter of our contract but have shredded the spirit of it. In your relations with the sub Celeste, you've shown sadly little loyalty to me and displayed exceptionally poor judgement. Domination is a delicate art and, even at its most fleshly, a careful intellectual and emotional balancing act. You have shown not only little talent for those nuances, but a reckless disregard for them.
It was, it is now obvious to me, a huge error to declare you a domme in training.
I must consider next steps. More soon.
With grave disappointment and anger,
Mistress Diana

Dear Diana,
It was so nice to hear from you but I'm sorry it was under such unfortunate circumstances. I should have kept a closer eye on her. I had no idea things had gotten so out of hand, or Richard and I would have either stepped in or at least promptly informed you of what was going on.
We agreed with you, on looking over her contract, that no changes were needed at this point. Whether they will be once she gets home -- well, that will be up to you, of course. Because you are a valued and regular client, the unused days of her stay here will be reimbursed to your account.
We used the master key to enter her room around 1 a.m. and pulled her out of bed.
"What the fuck?" she said.
We handed your note to her and allowed her to check on her tablet that it was a printout of one that had been sent directly to her only an hour or so before.
"It should be clear then, Five," Richard explained, "that you're to do exactly as we say as we are acting on behalf of your mistress."
"I'm not Five to you. I'm Mistress Sharon," she protested, too used to her Ranch status after only a few short days."
I slapped her. "No longer, slave. You have been here under the generosity of your mistress, our client."
"I'm your client," she said indignantly.
I slapped her again, this time on the other cheek. "No, you fool, you're not. Your little domme charade with a sub or two doesn't make you a domme and it doesn't pay the crazy bills around here, believe me. This has been a domme vacation as a gift from your mistress. I supposed she didn't tell you because she wanted you to be able to luxuriate in the delusion that you were a true dominatrix. We weren't helping you train in flogging, bondage, electricity, and so on out of altruism, you moron, we were paid by the hour for that, as we were for your little equestrian fantasy with Celeste the other day."
"I didn't know," she stammered.
"That's because you don't know shit. Take off your nightgown and put your hands behind your back."
"No, this is crazy. This is my room."
"Not any more, darling," said Richard. "Your mistress stopped paying for it as of midnight. Take off the gown or I'll rip it off."
She stood sullenly, not moving a muscle. I grabbed her arms behind her head and Richard, as promised, ripped the delicate gown top to bottom. I threw her arms down and pulled the gown over her arms to the ground. She was in something of a state of shock I think, standing there naked, her lower lip trembling, as Richard attached a collar and leash and I leather-cuffed her hands behind her.
"Shhh," Richard said. "It's the middle of the night and we wouldn't want to wake the other subs."
We led her downstairs to B1 and down the hall.
"What room are you taking me to?" she asked miserably.
"No bunks available," Richard whispered. "But we have some space in the storage closet."
There we'd placed an unused cage, not large enough to sit up in quite but large enough to curl up in on your side if you weren't too tall, and lucky for Five she isn't. I threw a ratty old blanket in there too.
