As Jim worked away in the stables dressed only in his socks and trainers he felt alive, liberated. The warm weather had continued and the temperature had reached the low eighties so it was much cooler working like this and the joy, the freedom of not having his penis constrained was pure bliss. What derailed this contented train of thought was the sudden realisation that, under the dual guidance of Miss Worthing and Mrs Johnson he had come to accept this nakedness as normal. Less than a week ago, if you had told him that he would be comfortable working buck naked under the watchful eyes of two such women he would have called you mad.
His freedom, however, was short lived. It was just gone two thirty when he heard Mrs Johnson's car pulling out of the yard and soon afterwards Miss Worthing, who had changed back into her normal outfit of jodhpurs and white blouse, entered the stables, striding down the aisle with a face like thunder. She caught up with Jim at the far end of the stables where he was polishing the brasswork.
"I hope you're satisfied with yourself," she said. "Thanks to you I'm going to spend tomorrow subbing to Michelle Johnson. I don't know what you're looking so smug about, just because you're her little pet puppy dog."
"I'm sorry, Miss Worthing," Jim replied. "I didn't mean..."
"You didn't mean...," Miss Worthing mocked. "I know what you meant. I saw you scampering around after her with your tongue hanging out. You seem to be forgetting that you work for me, young man; that I'm your employer, I'm the boss; I'm the one who gives orders around here. You're mine, not hers and I'm the one that decides what games you play. Is that quite understood?"
"Yes, Miss Worthing. Of course, Miss Worthing," Jim replied, crestfallen. He had, after all, just been following orders when he'd first become Mrs Johnson's 'puppy'.
Well, make sure you don't forget it. Now the girls will be arriving soon so it's about time we got you dressed again. Come along." Miss Worthing led Jim to the tack room where she unlocked the cupboard and got out his boxers and cargo pants. However, before he was allowed to put them on there was the inevitable return of the penis cage. Miss Worthing was none too gentle as she refitted it.
As Miss Worthing stood over him, watching him getting dressed, Jim thought through all she had just said. Could it be that she was jealous? From the start Miss Worthing's cool detachment had been part of the conundrum. He'd never known what it was that guided her treatment of him. With Mrs Johnson it couldn't be clearer; here was a woman who got her kicks from treating him as her puppy dog. For Mrs Johnson the sex was out in the open and, on the very first session, he'd had his face between her thighs. Now, and only now, was it becoming clear that Miss Worthing was not quite so cool and detached as she had seemed; whilst she was far more subtle it seemed she was driven by the same desires. Mrs Johnson, with her up-front manner, had forced the issue and it was now crystal clear that they were no strangers to playing sexual games, games that they enjoyed together, games that might soon involve Jim as well.
Once Jim was dressed again it was but a short time before the evening rush. Soon after three Mrs Johnson re-appeared with Kirsty and her friends and, from then on, Jim was far too busy to think about anything but getting the horses, and their riders, out into the paddocks or returning them to their stalls and settling them back in. Mercifully Amanda and her friends seemed to have taken the day off and Jim had no distractions and was even able to finish quite early. He was just doing his last minute checks, making sure all was in order before leaving for the night when he saw Miss Worthing approaching down the main aisle.
"No girls tonight," she said almost conversationally as she approached.
"No, Miss Worthing," Jim replied.
"That gives your poor backside a night off at least," she laughed. "Amanda has no idea of subtlety, does she?"
"I wouldn't know, Miss Worthing," Jim replied wary of the direction this conversation was going.
"Oh, you know all right; I saw the marks earlier and I've seen enough beaten backsides to be able to spot the marks of a riding crop. But maybe you're the sort that like having his backside leathered. Maybe you're the sort that gets off on pain. After all Amanda showed me quite a pretty little picture of you tugging away at yourself. Is that what turns you on, having your arse whipped?"
"No, Miss Worthing. It's not like that at all," Jim replied.
"Is it not? What is it like? What about Michelle Johnson? Do I gather you get off on being her little puppy dog? You certainly seem to," Miss Worthing went on.
"Yes, Miss Worthing," Jim muttered.
"What was that? Speak up." An edge of steel had entered her voice.
"Yes, Miss Worthing, I like being her puppy," Jim said, louder this time.
"Do you indeed. Why do you think that is?"
"I don't know," Jim replied.
"You don't know," Miss Worthing echoed. "And what about me? We both know you like kissing my boots; the evidence for that is quite clear. Is it the boots or who's wearing them that counts?"
Despite Miss Worthing light, conversational tone, Jim felt that they had arrived at the crux of the question.
"It's... It's a bit of both. I mean, I don't know exactly what it is, I've never felt like this before but there's something about it that... that... that feels right. I like kissing boots but it wouldn't be the same with anyone else."
"It wouldn't be the same with anyone else." Again Miss Worthing echoed Jim's last words as if mulling them over. "What about Mrs Johnson? Don't you get off on kissing her boots, or her feet, at least?"
"That's different, Miss. With Mrs Johnson it's fun; it's a game we play. With you it's serious."
There was a long pause. Miss Worthing just stood, her hand on her hip looking intently at Jim who felt like a bug under a microscope.
"Good answer," she said at last, "good answer. Don't forget to lock up before you leave. Goodnight. See you tomorrow."
She turned on her heel and strode off down the stables leaving the speechless Jim standing there, wondering what had just happened.

The next morning Jim was in a much better mood. He'd had a decent night's sleep and had awoken feeling alive and refreshed. More importantly, whilst he was still quite rightly scared of Amanda and her cruelty, he was far more prepared to deal with whatever Miss Worthing and Mrs Johnson might have in store for him. It was becoming clear that there was a certain 'fit' between him and the two women, that he was, as Mrs Johnson had declared, a 'natural' and, whilst he was apprehensive about what they would put him through he was learning about needs deep within him, needs that could only be met by serving women like them.
Once at the stables he had got the morning routine off pat. He had a quick look round to make sure all was OK before making sure Morning Dew was ready and waiting and giving Miss Worthing's boots a quick polish. Then, as seven o'clock approached he climbed up on the chest, dropped his trousers and boxer shorts and stood, waiting for inspection. Miss Worthing seemed distracted when she arrived and she gave his caged penis only the shortest of checks.
"As you know, thanks to you, I'll be busy for most of the day so I'll be leaving you in charge. Get the horses out in the paddock; it's another fine day and they can have a good run-around. Then sweep round and get everything ready for this afternoon. Understood."
"Of course, Miss Worthing. I'm sorry my behaviour yesterday is causing this inconvenience," Jim replied.
"We'll discuss the 'inconvenience' you caused later. Now come along, time's getting on." Miss Worthing sat down so that Jim could put on her boots and then they went off to fetch Morning Dew.
It said a certain amount for Miss Worthing's flustered state that, when she returned from her ride she sorted out Morning Dew herself instead of handing her over to Jim. She even helped out, taking some of the horses out to the paddocks before disappearing off to the house.
Jim was up in the hayloft when, shortly after nine o'clock he heard Mrs Johnson's BMW X5 pulling into the yard. He glanced out of the window and saw her park up and go directly to the house. A few minutes later he heard the doors to the stables open and two sets of footsteps coming down the aisle. Feeling that discretion was the better part of valour he stayed in the hayloft but, as he was directly above the tack room, he could clearly hear the conversation going on below him.
"Let's see, what shall we take?" Mrs Johnson was in high spirits, evidently looking forward to her day. "There's so much to choose from. Shall we go ponygirl today?"
