The next morning, both Faith and Shannon appeared at my door to walk Maggie. They were in a very good mood. I smiled as I listened to their giggles. Maggie was all ears too. She was ready for her morning walk. She wasn't quite used to Shannon yet, but she loved the attention.
I looked down at her with a mock look of disgust. "You are getting spoiled." But she could have cared less. She was getting all kinds of love from the two girls.
As I watched, I started to wonder about what happened after Faith went home. What did they talk about? I watched the girls walk away with Maggie. Shannon was going to ask me to train her. I was sure of that. But was it because of curiosity or did she truly want it? Was she really interested in our life style? Did she want to become a proper submissive? I had this sense of her becoming a good submissive, but a sassy one too. Damn. Did I really need this? Did I want it? I wanted to make sure that Shannon was going to be committed. But how committed was I? It was clear that Faith wanted this to happen, but did she want it to happen for the right reasons? I believed she did. She loved Shannon. She wanted happiness for her. But wanting and having could be very far apart if my mind was not right for this.
I sat down to read, but I couldn't tear my mind away from this. I had to have a plan on how to proceed. I needed to take this far enough to see if both Shannon and I wanted this and were prepared to take it much further. I already knew that I could not train her in the same way I had trained Faith. But I believed that I might need to test Shannon to see if she was going to do this for the right reasons. And then I started to chuckle. Slow down. She hasn't even asked yet.
After the girls returned with Maggie, they left as Faith usually did and returned home. Within ten minutes, they were entering the patio door, both of them still smiling. I looked at them both and shook my head with a grin. What was I getting myself into?
"Master? " said Faith. "Shannon has something to ask you?"
"Ok. Let's talk in the living room." I led them into the living room and had them sit down.
They were no longer giggling. Faith was smiling, but Shannon was nervous.
Shannon was looking at the floor as she was about to speak. And then she remembered the last time she had spoken to me and looked directly at me. "Master ..."
"Stop right there." I said. " I am not your Master. And you have not earned the right to call me that. If you wish, you may address me as 'Sir'."
Shannon was even more anxious now. She was finding it hard enough to say what she wanted to say without me correcting her.
"Sir. I want to be trained. I want to be a good submissive." She looked over at Faith and then back to me. "I want you to train me."
"Why?" I asked.
Shannon was prepared to answer that question. "Because I see how happy Faith is and I want to feel that happiness. I want to feel the same love, care, and protection that she does. I have not known you long, but it is clear to me that you are special. And I believe you are a man I can trust."
"Are you jealous of Faith?"
"No, but I do envy her. In all our years together as sisters, I have never seen her so happy. I can't help but wonder what it would be like to feel like she does."
I looked at Faith and smiled. She smiled back and mouthed the words "I love you."
I turned back to Shannon. "Faith convinced me that you would make this request. I have been thinking about it ever since. I will teach you what I can. It will be up to you if you absorb what I have to offer you. But be very clear. There will be a parole period. What you ask changes the relationship Faith and I have. It at any time I believe that this training threatens that, this is over. Are we clear?"
"Yes Sir."
"Good. Now tell me what you think a submissive is."
Shannon looked at Faith for a moment and then back at me. "I think what I believed in the past is not right. I used to think that a submissive woman to a dominant man was a floor mat. I believed the man simply ordered her around, made her a slave, including a sexual slave. But I don't see that with you and Faith. I mean I realize that you give her commands and tell her what to do, but you talk to each other as if you were partners in your relationship. You do punish her, but you protect her and care for her. And you love her."
"Very good. I'm pleased to see you have an open mind and that you are willing to change your views. There is one other thing that you did not mention. Did Faith tell you what she did last night?"
"She told me about cumming six or seven times."
Faith quietly giggled and I smiled and shook my head.
Shannon smiled and continued. "But that was all she told me."
"What Faith did after you left was kneel before me naked and re-affirmed what she did months ago. She gave herself to me. She committed her mind, her body, and her spirit and soul to me. She belongs to me. And I cannot take that lightly. She GAVE herself to me. That is the greatest gift anyone can ever give. It is why she calls me Master. When you are given a gift like that, to do anything less than cherish it would be wrong. And I do cherish her."
Faith looked at me again with watery eyes. "And I cherish him. I am his slut, his slave, his lover, his best friend. I will do anything he asks me to do."
I smiled at Faith and then looked back at Shannon. "I am not asking you to do the same. That is not a decision anyone should make without serious thought. And I cannot even tell you if I could accept such an offer if you gave it. But you and I will learn about each other as we do this. I will guide you and care for you. If and when the time comes and you decide to make this offer, I will seriously consider it as I did Faith."
Shannon had been quiet and attentive. She repeated in her mind what she heard me say, but also what Faith had said. The night before, her cunt tingled, but the feeling she had now was different. She felt love in this house and wanted to be a part of it. She wanted to love and be loved. And she wanted to be given a purpose.
She looked at me again and said, "I really want this. I want to learn. And I hope that I don't disappoint you."
"You will not disappoint me as long as your efforts are always focused on learning. You will make mistakes, but that is how you will learn."
Shannon smiled. "Thank you, Sir." She hesitated a moment. "Will I also be your slut and your slave?"
"Good question. Yes, you will. Does that mean I'm going to fuck you the first chance I get? No. In fact, I don't even know when that might happen. Does it mean I will give you commands to obey? Yes, but I will never ask you to do something that puts you in danger. I will not apply pain because I know you are not ready for that. You may never be ready for that. But we will take it one step at a time."
"As your slave, what can I do for you first?"
I thought for moment. And then I smiled. "New rule in the house. You both must be naked while you are here."
Shannon blushed and hesitated. Faith, on the other hand immediately stood up and began removing her clothes. She whispered to Shannon to encourage her. Shannon stood up and slowly began removing her clothes. Faith was soon naked, her clothes draped over the couch. Shannon's blush had turned even more red. She finally stood before me without clothes, but she tried to use her hands to cover her breasts and her cunt. Her clothes lay around her feet.
"Drop your hands, Shannon."
"Yes Sir." She was really struggling with this.
"Shannon, do you know why I requested you to remove your clothes?"
"You want to see my body?" she asked.
"No." I stopped and laughed. "Well, yeah. But my real purpose was to help you learn to be comfortable with your body. You're quite beautiful. You have nothing to be ashamed of and nothing to hide."
