A story written by my slut to remind us about the nature of the relationship.
**********
The Master had decided a few weeks previously that things had slipped slightly lately. His slut had become lax in her submission to him. It was partly his fault, after all life had been busy, but that didn't excuse her.
So the Master decided that she needed to be retrained, reminded of who and what she was.
He'd been out and bought a new collar and lead for her. It was something they'd never used before, but he felt that this time she needed something different.
He'd also bought a new whip, something that would feel strange against her skin.
Now he was just waiting for the right opportunity to use them.
The time came when they were invited to a party. He decided that everything would go ahead as normal, but that training would begin when they returned home - he wanted the element of surprise.
The party went well. She was her usual self, chatty, flirty and fun and he indulged her, smiling secretly to himself at the thought of what was to come.
Once home, he told her to prepare herself for him. She showered quickly and returned to him naked. She moved towards the bed, but he stopped her with a firm 'kneel'. She hesitated, but did as he demanded.
It was then that she noticed the duvet folded neatly on the floor near the radiator. She looked at him quizically, opened her mouth to question, but was silenced by his firm "Ssssshhhh".
He moved towards her, holding the new collar. She looked at it and shivered.
Her mind worked overtime as she wondered what was happening, as she imagined some new game they'd be playing.
But she was soon to find out it wasn't a game.
The collar was fitted snugly, then the lead added. Giving it a slight tug, he told her to crawl towards her bed for the night. He pointed to the duvet and she gasped in shock. Surely not?
But he wasn't joking. He led her to her bed and fastened the lead to the radiator. Her Master told her to lie down and kissed her goodnight, then he prepared himself for bed, turning out the light without even looking at her.
She lay there too stunned to even think at first. Sleep was a long time coming. What was going on, why was her Master doing this? Somehow instinct told her not to voice her questions. Something told her that her Master wouldn't welcome her disobedience. Finally, with irritation and acceptance, she fell asleep.
Unknown to her, her Master also lay there awake. He listened for her soft movements, almost silent breathing. He wondered what she was thinking. He thought about what he was doing, knowing he was doing the right thing, but missing her in his bed beside him.

The slut was woken by her Master tugging at the lead again. Stiffly she raised herself up into a kneeling position for him. He told her she had two minutes to crawl to the bathroom to pee and clean her teeth, then he pulled at the lead to guide her there.
Still half asleep she did as he asked.
When she'd done, Master clipped her back to the radiator and put down tea and toast for her. He told her she had 10 minutes to eat before it would be removed. Again, blindly she went ahead. Her mind was whirling, what on earth was wrong with him, what was going on?
Master came back and removed her breakfast things before telling her he was going to work for the morning. She groaned her despair when she realized he intended her to stay exactly where she was.
She protested, getting angry at his treatment, but once again he silenced her with a few harsh words.
