"I still love Conner, but I love him for what he is, not who he is, know what I mean?" Siobhan tried to explain. "But he has become a means to an end for me and I suspect I have become the same thing for him."
"Don't get me wrong, I like having my own slut. He is reliable and consistent. Whenever I feel like it, for as long as I want, he's there. And he likes being a sex slave. He craves it. There is really no down side to this arrangement, unless of course you're shooting for an egalitarian relationship. Then you'd be shit outta luck." Siobhan glanced at Anna, wondering if she caught the implication.
Anna tucked her chin and mimicked a studious look over imaginary glasses. "In that case I can tell you from personal experience of the tragic variety, that equality and sex with men does not exist in the same environment."
"After years of painstaking unofficial research I have come to the conclusion that female dominated sex, in female-led relationships are best for everyone. By 'best' I mean safest for women and the most intense sex there is for men. Well, once they are properly trained of course," Anna grinned.
"Why do you think Conner got interested in femdom sex to begin with? Because it's several levels above the best vanilla sex he's ever had, of course. But you can't pretend that you and Conner are partners anymore, that's ridiculous." Anna raised an eyebrow to indicate how absurd she thought the idea of sexual equality was.
"Yeah, well to be honest with you Anna. I wouldn't want to trade sex with Conner for a partnership with him. Great sex IS the most important part of the partnership anyway, if you ask me. The problem is, the truth is out. I can't ignore the fact that I'm more interested in a having a sex slave than a partner. So how do we resolve that?" Siobhan looked at Anna the way she used to look at Conner. Anna and Shiv smiled at one another, acknowledging the connection.
Not uncommonly, the student had fallen in love with her teacher. Anna had become an essential part of how Shiv made plans. She consulted with Anna the way she once shared things with Conner. Anna had all but replaced Conner in Siobhan's mind, except in one area and that was about to change.
Typically Anna was never interested in taking on a lover and a student in the same person. But Shiv was an exception. She was more important to Anna than anyone had been for a long time. Anna was very aware that she was spending more time with Siobhan than her minor training issues with Conner warranted. Siobhan seemed to look for reasons to be alone with her too. If it wasn't love, it was the next best thing. Maybe she could use Shiv's epiphany that Conner was a means to an end to her advantage. Really, to both of their advantages. Time to call her girlfriend's bluff.
"Well Shiv, there is a way to fix it all if you're willing to stretch your imagination a little. I spoke with Dana earlier. She and her friends are interested in reserving Conner weekly. They are prepared to rent him from you on a continuous basis for an obscene amount of money." Anna leaned against her friend and whispered in her ear.
Siobhan stood in shocked silence. "You're kidding me! How much?"
"$5,000.00 a crack. Your sub, one night a week. That'll work out to about six to eight hours of actual fucking, unless someone sleeps over and gets horny early in the morning. Bet Conner never made that much per hour before," Anna grinned.
Siobhan nodded thoughtfully. "And he will be naked, doing whatever sexually perverted thing they tell him to do. In fact from what I understand, he will not have any choice in how they use him." Shiv understood perfectly.
"With that kind of money I could start over. Go somewhere and be someone else," Siobhan mused out loud. She met Anna's gaze. "Maybe I need some company on that trip."
"Anna, can I trust you to keep an eye out for me? I know you won't intervene but make sure no one hurts him, ok?"
"Of course. I'll have your back if anything gets out of hand. But remember, I may just want to do a little spanking of my own." Anna grinned. "He's been a bad boy for being such a depraved slut."
"Wow! I might never have to work again. I certainly wouldn't have to put up with any macho bullshit from male employers anymore." Siobhan leaned in provocatively against Anna. "Might even find time to explore a very anti-macho relationship a little further." Her crotch pressed against Anna's thigh. She put her arm around Anna's shoulders and whispered in her ear.
"So, do you want to watch me dominate him for you, in front of your friends?" Anna felt herself responding to Shiv's intimate, compelling presence in a way she had seldom experienced with apprentices before. Her breathing became shallow and rapid. Her chest felt flushed and her pussy tingled. Shiv squeezed Anna's thigh before she took a step back. Her face was flushed, her eyes were bright. She looked like she was a little high.
If she's acting she's doing a great job, Anna thought. No, she was actually getting turned on by the thought of seeing her husband put to use. And maybe by being close to her Anna.
"Remember that five grand it isn't as much money to them as it is to you Shiv. These are women with more dough than they know what to do with. But it's more than enough to launch you on a new trajectory, toward a resolution of your own making. And I can guess what you're thinking." Anna leaned toward Siobhan conspiratorially.
"Understand that Conner belongs to you. Take him with you and use him for what he has become, or don't. But don't feel trapped in a relationship with him. I know a young woman who, I am certain, would love to take over his training if you choose to cut yourself free of that situation. You know Conner doesn't really have a choice anymore and I think he prefers it that way."
"When?" Siobhan heard herself say. "When will the weekly entertainment start?"
"This weekend. I guess. I'll call Dana to confirm." Anna smoothed Shiv's hair, stroking the sensuous auburn mane gently. Then Anna cupped Siobhan's face in her hands kissed her lightly on the lips.
"Is it worth it?" Siobhan asked.
