James had spent the remainder of the week challenging himself about whether or not to take the job. Who was he kidding? He was more excited about this job, than if his former boss rang him up, offering him his old job, a Β£100k pay rise at half the hours! This had benefits way beyond the odd magnum over lunch on a Friday.
Having gathered all this belongs, he set off to the new chapter in his life. What would it bring? Who knew, other than Michelle, but suffice to say James life would change forever. Whilst he was only moving around 30 miles outside of London, it felt like he was moving to another country.
James drove to Michelle's house with his clothes and personal possessions. As he had only just got back from travelling, this did not amount to much. James dressed casually in jeans and trainers and of course the pink panties given to him by Michelle at the interview which she insisted he wore. James found the house without needing to refer to the map again and parked on the drive. He had a nervous excitement about what might unfold and the keys to the car shook in his slightly trembling hand.
Michelle answered the door and opened it slowly adding to the suspense. To James it seemed like an eternity. She stood there wearing a tight white blouse and a black pencil skirt. Very sexy, but with a slight business look. Her hair was swept off her face, so that it was clear. Michelle had quite pretty features: soft face, dark eyes and matching dark hair. She wasn't slim and clearly revelled in her curvy form.
"Good morning Ma'am." James said pleasingly.
"So you are here James and on time. A good start" there was a slight pause. James stood unsure what to do next. "Don't you know how to greet a lady?" putting out her hand out to James.
James leaned forward to shake it. But straight away she pulled it back "No. Kiss it." She scolded James. James became flustered but took Michelle's hand again and kissed it softly. Her skin smelt of body lotion and was really soft to James lips. She certainly was a woman that took great care with her appearance.
"So, are you ready James? Ready to start?" Michelle said with a smirk.
"Yes Ma'am. I can't wait."
"Well leave your belongings there. Enter and follow me."
"Yes Ma'am." James left his bags by the front door porch and entered the house following Michelle. James followed the same path to the kitchen, as he did last week.
"Tea, James." James thought she was asking if he fancied a cup, but she wasn't.
"I'd love one Ma'am - I'll make it."
"Not for you! That wasn't a question. Just for me. You can have yours later."
"Yes Ma'am."
Michelle sat at the breakfast bar opposite to where the kettle was situated and where James started to make the cup of tea. She sat on a high stool with her legs crossed. James did all I could to avoid looking at her legs and concentrated on making the tea. Even though he managed to avoid looking at her legs, it meant that James also had to make sure he didn't stare at her rather plentiful cleavage that was teasingly on display. No matter how hard he tried to avert his eyes from her legs and cleavage, it was virtually impossible.
"Focus on me, not on my body!!" Luckily for James she laughed rather than get cross about it.
"How do you like your tea, Ma'am?"
"Milky, no sugar."
"Ok Ma'am."
James handed Michelle her tea; hoping, praying it was up to her exact requirements. He didn't know whether to stand or sit and stood awkwardly awaiting his next instruction.
"Now James, I have printed off a rota of chores for you to do. I will take you through the house and the rest of the property and we can discuss your chores as we go." James took the list from Michelle and scanned his eye over it, whilst at the same time listening to what Michelle had to say. James knew that it would not be wise to miss anything vital.
"Are you a good cook James?"
"Yes, I love cooking."
"That's good. You will be responsible for all the cooking. Sometimes I dine out but I will let you know. There will be a menu for you to follow and provisions will be delivered on a weekly basis."
"I don't need to go and buy them?"
"Not generally. But there will be times when the menu has to be changed or extra items will be needed at short notice. So in which case, you will need to do the shopping on those occasions."
"The Kitchen will be kept spotless at all times. I will always be checking on you, be sure of that. The times I wish to take my meals are at the top of the menu. Make sure you are punctual."
"Ok Ma'am. I love cooking. I'm looking forward to this." So far Michelle was keeping the exchanges quite formal, as if James was starting employment in a normal work atmosphere. She did this to make James falsely believe that he was more employee than the slave. For now. Michelle finished her cup of tea and handed it to James to wash.
"I've had better cups of tea." she remarked dismissively. "Right. Let's move on." James followed, too scared to disagree. "Ahhh. Before we go upstairs, there is something I need to show you." Michelle opened a door next to the kitchen. It was a utility room, with a washing machine, tumble dryer and associated cleaning products. "You will do my washing when needed. You must hand wash all my underwear. I want you to keep them nice for me. I don't want my silk ruined."
"Yes Ma'am." James noticed a basket full of underwear. Some very sexy, some more day to day wear.
"This is my dining room. You will set the table for all meals except breakfast at the weekend, which you will bring to me in bed."
"Yes Ma'am." James felt he was responding like a robot, but quite enjoyed it nonetheless.
Michelle then walked towards the foot of the stairs and went to put her hand on the cupboard door. But under her breath, but loud enough for James to hear, she said "I think I will leave that for later." She obviously said this deliberately, as immediately James mind was racing as to what was in that cupboard. Maybe it lead somewhere? But he said nothing.
"This is my lounge." Entering a long room with very big windows which let in a lot of light. Decorated subtlety with a traditional feel but maintaining in a modern feel.
"It's a very nice house, Ma'am." James commented.
Big leather settees, classy ornaments and actually spotless. There were also a few very arty type paintings on the wall. At first glance they appeared to be of courting couples.
"Nice art collection, Ma'am." James continued to praise.
Upon closer inspection they were actually pictures of men worshipping women, in a very erotic way.
"They please me" Michelle said, with a cheeky grin and a small laugh escaped her lips. James kept looking back at them, fascinated by what he saw. The pictures added a further layer of mystery and attraction to Michelle. "Your daily chores for the living room and the hallway are on your rota."
"It seems straightforward so far Ma'am."
As they left the living room, they came to the foot of the stairs by the front door. Underneath the stairs was a doorway, which Michelle pointed to. "This is my private study. I will let you know when I want you to carry out chores in there for me. Otherwise you will never open that door. Do you understand me?"
"Yes Ma'am" James replied nervously. Crikey - what was in there?
"You are not to enter without specific permission from me only, do you understand?"
"Yes. I understand Ma'am"
We then started to climb the stairs. James followed behind her and couldn't help but admire her calf's, underneath her black tights. Michelle felt his gaze and loved the fact that James could probably now see the tops of her stockings. The stairs ended on a large open landing. The first room was Michelle's.
"This is my room." Michelle announced. It was huge. Michelle's bed was in the centre of the room and it was fairly minimalistic and like the living room, spotless. The bed was a four poster bed, very opulent covered in beautiful white sheets. On the far side of the bedroom, was an open doorway leading to Michelle's en-suite bathroom. In keeping with the rest of the house, it was immaculate. Large shower and bath, and all the usual mod cons. "Wow - it's lovely Ma'am."
The rest of the floor had three other guest rooms, served by a general bathroom. There was also a spare room, which, unlike the rest of the house was full of boxes and spare clothes. James had not noticed a further flight of stairs, at the end of the hallway. It lead to a single room and Michelle took James into it. The room was a small bedroom within the loft space of the house, with a sky light. It was the smallest bedroom in the house, very functional with a single bed, a bedside table, plain lamp and a single wardrobe. There was also a small toilet and shower cubicle in a room just off it. It was not far removed from a prison cell.
"This is your room James. I know you men don't like too many frills. So you can have a nice plain functional room. This isn't a hotel, after all."
"Yes Ma'am I think I will be happy here."
Michelle then opened the wardrobe. "As you can see there are a few outfits, in particular underwear, that you're not familiar with. Generally you can wear what you like, however there will be occasions when I want you to wear, or not wear, what I tell you. You can bring up your own clothes later."
