This story is a sequel to The Dutch Master. The narrator, having signed a one month slave contract to Gerd, his Master, finds himself sold to the beautiful red headed lifestyle dominatrix Arianne de Vries. This cruel and sadistic woman now intends to transport him back to The Netherlands on her yacht and make him her houseboy.
"Look boy, let's not make out that I need any sort of pretext to punish you." Arianne de Vries, the beautiful, tall redheaded Dutchwoman was hauling firmly on the leather strap. I felt the pressure increase as she fastened the final buckle that held my bruised and weary body spread across the leather topped punishment bench down in the dungeon beneath the Suffolk farmhouse that Gerd van Thijessen had caught me in the act of burgling just a few nights before. "I enjoy punishing you, it's as simple as that, it gives me a thrill like no other, it's something that I can't really explain." She announced this in quite a matter of fact manner, without a hint of self consciousness. "You have a good, sturdy body and it is capable of taking the punishments that I wish to impose upon you. I have put a proposition to Gerd, and he has accepted my offer, by next week you shall be my property. I fully intend to use you as my houseboy, and to apply the firm discipline that I think you need in your life to keep you on the straight and narrow."
I could not believe what Arianne now told me was going to be my future. We were only a few days into the month's contract that I had signed to serve Gerd and now it appeared that the two of them had put together some kind of deal to transfer me to the ownership of Arianne. "In the next day or so you will be shipped across to my house in The Netherlands. Once there you will serve me in whatever capacity I desire. I won't pretend that it will be an easy life, but it is the one that I have mapped out for you. I really feel that hard work combined with strict discipline is what you need to reform your character, and I intend to do that."
I was stunned at this latest piece of news. Arianne now sat in the chair before me, her beautiful long legs in her elegant black leather stiletto heeled boots crossed as she regarded my recumbent body strapped tightly over the punishment bench, awaiting whatever her devious, sadistic mind had in store for me. I considered this latest twist in the winding road of my future. "But how will you get me into The Netherlands? You don't have my passport."
A knowing smile played on her lips telling me that to a wealthy and resourceful woman this was a mere detail, and one that had already been resolved. "Oh we Dutch are a nation of sailors just like you. My yacht is moored up just along the coast at Southwold. I have been a regular visitor there for several years now so there will be no suspicion. it's barely more than a hundred kilometres across and my house has private moorings. Nobody looks for migrants heading in that direction."
So it appeared that it was now a fait accompli. Arianne continued. "You know of course that Gerd is a people smuggler? He does most of his business with wealthy people from the Middle East. He knew that I was looking for a young man to serve me in a domestic capacity. In fact he called me immediately upon your capture." I cast my mind back to before I had signed the contract. To think that I had the opportunity just to leave and I had not taken it. Then I looked at Arianne again. She was very beautiful and evidently an independently wealthy woman. Neither could I deny that serving her had given me a thrill, just as much it seemed as it had her. The sjambok beating had been the toughest challenge but I had survived it. The ordeal that it had provided had given me a considerable feeling of achievement, although at first I had been reluctant to admit it, submission did not come easily to me. Nevertheless the prospect of my future with this woman both excited and scared me in equal measure. I was forced to admit to myself that I was a little bit in love with the woman who now seemed destined to become my owner. Those fantasies I had entertained of traditional old style slavery were it seemed about to become a reality.
"But I thought Gerd was in the electronics business."
"Ah, yes. That is most a convenient cover isn't it? It means that he constantly has trucks going back and forth between the continent and the UK. Once the people he deals in are in the country it's very easy for his clients to fly their cargo out again. Most of them have private jets. He caters for this part of the market." She waved her hand at the dungeon and it's extensive array of equipment. "Sex slaves, that's what attracts the big money. You should be grateful to me really, you could easily have ended up in the ownership of a wealthy Arab, they are the very worst owners I can assure you." An inscrutable smile played briefly on her cruel lips.
"Anyway, I have a gorgeous thirteen metre ketch, it is moored up just a few kilometres away. She is a lovely boat, all polished brass and wood, built in the nineteen thirties for a wealthy businessman. We will sail in the morning, by tomorrow evening you will be installed as my houseboy. Your duties will be anything that either myself or my P.A. Sapphira asks of you. Gerd has supplied me with one of his special electric shock collars. Once that is fitted I am confident that you won't be wandering off."
Arianne got up from her chair and walked across to the wall rack that held the whips and canes. "I don't think your skin can take much more after receiving the punishment from the sjambok last night. I intend to go easy on you and just use the standard Dragon cane this evening." Once more she made the announcement as if she was doing me a great favour. She swished the cane through the air a few times in readiness for applying the weapon to my body. When it came I could tell that she was very skilfully avoiding the area that had been damaged the previous night by her forty strokes of the sjambok. The Dragon was a serious weapon in it's own right, but by comparison with the sjambok it was a mere toy. This time her aim was directed solely towards the area where the crease of the thighs joins the buttocks. It is an especially sensitive place capable of causing a lot of pain. Unusually I was left ungagged and my cries became louder as the strokes increased in intensity as she got into her rhythm, they seemed to spur her on to greater efforts. I was ordered to count the strokes and to thank my mistress after each batch of ten. I received four batches before being unstrapped from the punishment bench and returned to my cell.
The following morning Arianne brought my breakfast down to the prison cell. After I had eaten she returned and led me upstairs. A large timber crate stood on the floor in the hallway. I was fitted with the usual head harness with it's built in rubber gag and then the full heavy leather hood. Completely blind and guided by her I climbed carefully inside the crate which was then prepared for transport. Although it was quite large the timber packing case would only just accommodate my body, kneeling in a foetal position. I felt my collar being being fixed to a steel hasp in the timber floor of the case beneath me so that my neck was held tightly down My wrists were now secured behind my back inside the leather cuffs attached to the body belt that was part of the leather chest harness. Then the wooden lid was firmly nailed down for transit, the vibration of the nails being hammered in reverberating through my body. Shortly after this I felt the motion of the crate being lifted and carried before being put into what I assumed was a vehicle. The movement continued, an up and down motion told me that we were driving down the lane from Marsh Farm. Then things smoothed out as we reached metalled roads. After a while the movement ceased and once again there was the feeling of the crate being carried. There was a short delay before the low hum of an engine somewhere beneath me and a gentle floating feeling told me that we were now at sea.
