michael awakened later to the feel of his Mistress' strong hands stroking his striped butt. He opened his eyes to see Her sitting on the side of his cot, but otherwise stayed still. He reveled in the soft caresses floating over his butt and thighs. She said softly, "I am quite pleased with you, michael. For a new one, you handled yourself quite well this afternoon," She said, smiling, in that silky voice of Hers.
"Thank you, Mistress," michael replied.
"You have earned a reward. You will be excused from serving this evening. You will sit by My side."
"Thank you, Mistress," michael said gratefully. In truth, he wasn't sure he could move very gracefully and was in fear of spilling something or tripping over his feet.
"Don't worry, dear one. The stiffness doesn't last as long as those beautiful stripes," She said, uncannily knowing his thoughts. "Be sure to soak in the pool before going to bed tonight. That will help. And I'll have jacob apply more ointment."
"Thank you, Mistress," michael said.
She rose gracefully and glided out the door, and jacob came in to announce that it was time to prepare for dinner. michael joined the others in the bathing pool for a quick wash and hurriedly dried off. Back in the dormitory, he and the others prepared themselves. The girls were applying makeup and the men were helping the girls with their hair. michael was fascinated to see that all the men had full erections and wondered how they maintained that state all the time. When the others noticed his rather flaccid state, they all took delight in teasing him and stroking him until he, too, sported an impressive erection. He fell quickly into easy banter with the others until jacob motioned that it was time to leave.
The group chattered softly all the way to the kitchen, where they were met by Cook. Not technically a slave, Cook had been with Mistress for many years, and enjoyed more freedom than most. They all ate a quick snack before helping Cook peel potatoes, chop vegetables, and all the other chores necessary to prepare Mistress' dinner. michael was amazed at the quantity of food being prepared. Appetizers, salads, meats, potatoes, vegetables, and sauces were efficiently produced by Cook and the group of slaves. When all was ready to be served, jacob clapped his hands once to get everyone's attention.
"It's time. Places, everyone," he instructed. While three of the slaves scurried to the dining room, michael was unsure of what to do or where to go.
"Um, jacob?" he asked softly, embarrassed that he, alone, seemed to have no clue of what to do next. jacob took pity on him, though, and instructed him.
"Mistress says you are to sit by Her side tonight. You will be kneeling by Her chair when She arrives. She will tell you what She wants you to do."
"Thanks," said michael, as he hurried to the dining room. He saw the niches were filled again and smiled as pet winked at him before assuming her pose.
He knelt by Mistress' chair and waited with the rest of the group. They didn't have to wait long. She glided in, taking in everyone's position in a glance. She sat and jacob pushed in Her chair. Her hand reached down and stroked michael's hair as She told jacob he could serve.
As each course was brought and replaced with the next, Lady Victoria chatted with jacob and michael. "As you can see, little one, we are much more informal when alone," She told michael. She fed michael tidbits throughout the dinner, but didn't eat much Herself. She and jacob discussed household matters, any infractions that needed to be addressed, as well as extra exemplary behaviors to be considered for rewards. The dinner passed quickly and michael was disappointed to realize that dessert was already being served. He was enjoying the feeling of togetherness with the others and the extra attention bestowed upon him by his Mistress.
All too soon, Mistress rose from Her chair and started towards the door. She looked back at michael and motioned for him to join Her. He followed Her to Her wing of the House, awed by the many fine paintings and sculptures. He barely remembered in time to open Her door and blushed as he realized She had noticed his gaffe. "No punishment this time, dear, but don't let it happen again," She said with a grin.
"Yes, Mistress. I mean, no, Mistress," michael stammered.
They entered Her suite and michael saw jasmine and pet kneeling on the floor at the foot of Her bed. She walked to them and softly stroked their heads. michael stood watching as jasmine helped her Mistress change into a pair of silk lounging palazzo pants of royal blue, a beautiful flowing multi-hued silk tunic and blue mules. Lady Victoria lightly kissed jasmine on the cheek, thanked her and bid her a good night. After jasmine left, Lady Victoria went to Her cream-colored silk brocade chaise and gracefully reclined. A slight hand movement brought pet to Her side, and a look from Her was all it took for michael to join pet on the floor. They both knelt and Mistress' look was proud as she gazed at two of her favorite slaves.
"michael, dear, look at pet and tell Me what you see," ordered Mistress.
"Yes, Mistress. I see a young, um, cute, slave," said michael, not at all sure that his answer was what his Mistress was seeking.
"pet, My dear, what do you see when you look at michael?" asked Mistress.
"Mistress, I see a 30-something man, well-built, muscular, with a large cock," answered pet, smiling at michael.
"michael, don't you think pet's skin is radiant? Her perky breasts just the right size for her? Her sparkling eyes enticing?" prompted Mistress.
"Certainly, Mistress," michael answered, more confused than ever.
"I would like to see you touch pet. Explore her. Feel how soft and smooth her skin is," said Mistress.
michael was mystified at his Mistress' command, but nevertheless reached out a tentative hand and softly stroked pet's cheek, letting his hand caress her slender neck, down her shoulder and well-toned arm. His other hand reached out to mirror the first. Lady Victoria watched as pet closed her eyes and softly moaned. While michael continued his exploration, Lady Victoria spoke.
"You see, michael, pet has been trained as My personal playtoy. She craves being touched. She is the most sexual of all My slaves, now. She wasn't always like that, were you, pet?"
"No, Mistress," murmured pet, thoroughly enjoying michael's hands on her body.
Lady Victoria reached out and lightly pinched one of pet's nipples, immediately turning it into a small, hard pebble. "You may use your mouth, too, michael," She hinted. michael's mouth replaced his Mistress' hand on pet's nipple, sucking lightly. pet's moans were a little louder with this added sensation.
"Feel how wet she becomes with a little stroking," Lady Victoria directed michael. As his hand traveled up pet's silky thigh, he could feel the heat radiating from pet's pussy. His hand found its target and he felt her hard little clitoris, playing with it briefly before sliding backwards into her liquid heat.
"Now, michael, taste pet's juices on your hand. Doesn't she taste marvelous?" asked Lady Victoria as michael did Her bidding.
"Yes, Mistress, she does," said michael.
"pet, it's your turn. Just remember that michael is not allowed to come. Short of that, see how quickly you can get him to the brink of release," said Mistress.
pet quickly took the opportunity to stroke his cheek with one hand while her other went to play with his hard cock. pet laughed and said, "Mistress, I don't think that would take too much more!" To michael's embarrassment, his Mistress laughed and agreed.
Lady Victoria took a book from the small lamp table and started reading, idly stroking either pet's or michael's head. The two started making a game of it. If She was stroking michael's head, pet would move closer and put her head under the Mistress' hand. michael would retaliate by pinching pet's nipple and when she jumped back, he moved into her place. This of course, led to pet grabbing michael's cock and when he closed his eyes and moaned, she moved her head back in position to receive Mistress' hand.
One thing led to another and before they knew it, they were giggling like children, tickling and pinching and laughing. Lady Victoria took it all in, happy that these two were quickly becoming friends. She saw out of the corner of Her eye michael pin pet to the floor. All motion stopped as he realized what he was doing.
"Go ahead, michael," said Mistress. "I know that you want to, and pete has earned a reward. Go ahead and fuck her. You have My permission. But you must use a dildo. Your cock is Mine. And don't forget that you are not to cum!"
pet grinned and flipped over so her ass was in the air. "I like it doggy style," she said, wiggling that cute little butt in his face. He looked at that butt, looked at their Mistress watching them, and wondered if he really should do it.
Lady Victoria seemed to understand his dilemma. "michael, I don't say things I don't mean. Do not make Me repeat Myself."
"Yes, Mistress," he said, then asked, "Um, is it okay to...um...well..."
