She glided into Her room, where pet and alice were kneeling, awaiting their Mistress. "alice, inspection," She commanded. alice immediately stood at attention, legs spread shoulder-width apart, back straight, chest thrust out, head held high with eyes downcast, hands behind her head. "Beautiful," Lady Victoria murmured. She made a minor adjustment in alice's posture, then slowly walked around her. Lady Victoria's hands, which had caused such agony a short time ago, now were soft as velvet as they stroked the angry red welts.
"Bend over," She ordered. alice, of course, quickly complied. Lady Victoria's fingers slid down alice's butt, noting with approval that pet had applied the special ointment after bathing alice. The Mistress fingered the sore orifice. "You will come to love the pain, little one," She said, "almost as much as I love inflicting it."
alice doubted the truth in that but wisely responded with "Yes, Mistress."
Lady Victoria chuckled knowingly. alice blushed, but otherwise showed no change in her expression. "You are learning quickly," She praised.
"Thank you, Mistress," alice glowed.
alice watched as pet helped Mistress prepare for bed, removing the caftan and hanging it in Mistress' huge closet.

Mistress leaned over to whisper in alice's ear, "While you are here, little one, you are Mine." She then lightly kissed alice's soft lips. Her tongue lightly stroked alice's closed mouth. Her hand glided down alice's cheek, neck, throat, collar bone, then finally down to alice's supple breast, circling the nipple with Her long fingernail until alice whimpered and moved closer.
Lady Victoria asked alice, "Have you ever pleasured your Mistress before?"
Blushing, alice replied softly, "No, Mistress."
"But you have wanted to, have you not?" She asked.
"Yes, Mistress, but..."
