Robert awoke to the sun streaming through the large picture window in Mistress Calista's bedroom. Nell was gone. He remembered, vaguely, that she had kissed him and told him she was leaving the bed, earlier, at dawn. He had returned the kiss and had fallen asleep again. Calista was sitting in a large backed chair, wearing a sheer white negligee with a matching robe. "Good morning, Robert," she said, "I trust you slept well." Robert opened his mouth to speak, but demurred. Calista smiled then said, "You may speak now, Robert."
"Yes, Mistress, I slept very well, thank you."
"You and Nell were magnificent last night," replied Calista sipping at her coffee. "You were splendid with both Willa and Beresford too, Robert. Agnes will be proud and pleased when she sees the tapes."
"Are they still here?" asked Robert, fearful that Beresford may harbor a grudge because of his participation in his session.
"Yes, you will see them at breakfast. Don't concern yourself with either of them. They will be cordial and correct, or I shall blister their asses," laughed Calista. "After all, they are my slaves as well as my clients, and they know that I'll dismiss them from my service, if they cause me any inconvenience."
Robert pulled his naked body to the side of the bed and sat on the edge. "I'm concerned about the guy," said Robert, "he's a pretty big man and he wasn't too happy about last night."
"You've nothing to concern yourself, Robert. Beresford will do nothing, I promise you."
"Nell?"
"She's fine. Right now she's helping prepare our breakfast," Calista told him. "You may take your shower now and come down to the dining room for breakfast. Remember your plane leaves this afternoon and I'm sure you don't want to miss your flight," Calista said as she arose and left the room. Robert checked his body over, before he completely got out of bed. His balls and nipples ached and his ass still bore strap marks and welts. He was sore, but in relatively good shape for all he had endured. He rose and went into the bathroom. Robert shaved, showered, dried himself and placed deodorant under his arms. He combed his hair and walked back in the bedroom to find Edward, waiting for him, with his collar and guide chain in his hand. He sighed submissively and stood still, as Edward fitted the guide chain about his balls and the collar to his neck. Satisfied, Edward pulled gently at the chain around Robert's balls to lead his young charge out of the bedroom, down the grand staircase and into the dining room. Calista sat at the head of the table with Cassandra and Cerces sitting opposite one another at Calista's sides. Willa and Beresford, both fully dressed, sat next to the lesser Mistresses and opposite from each other. Only Robert was still naked. Edward led him to the seat at the end of the table across from Mistress Calista. He stood awaiting instructions and Edward held out the chair, and motioned him to sit down. Robert sat in the chair tenderly, to avoid hurting his sore balls and ass.
"Robert, you have permission to speak, whenever you choose, and participate in the breakfast conversation, dear," Calista told him. Robert realized that he was the only one who was naked, but he put the thought out of his mind. Edward filled his cup with coffee then moved to the other diners to refill their cups. A door behind Calista opened, and Nell entered, carrying a large tray of breakfast foods. She smiled at Robert, but did not speak as she placed a platter on the table containing ham, sausages and bacon. Other foods included a platter of toast, a big bowl of scrambled eggs and a platter of cut fresh fruits. They served themselves from the bounty spread on the table and ate heartily. The conversation was light, with no sign of animosity from either Willa or Beresford. The six of them dined leisurely until each of them had eaten their fill. This feast was the first real food Robert had eaten since his arrival at Calista's mansion. Until this morning he had eaten only gruel, or something akin to meatloaf and boiled potatoes, served to him in bowls on the floor. He was grateful for the chance to eat well again.
