I was on all fours, my hands and knees resting on a thick fur rug which spread beneath me over a stone altar, in a marble columned temple. Silver cuffs on my wrists and ankles secured me there, the attachment rings passing through slits in the rug. Flaming torches burned in iron brackets on the walls, the walls themselves decorated with frescoes depicting human men and women in every kind of sexual congress with demonic creatures, some recognisably humanoid, others like the mythical beasts of human legend. A pair of female legs approached; I looked up to see Gynestar, clad in a transparent body suit which was completely open at the crotch, approaching the altar from directly in front of me. She looked at me wistfully, bending to kiss my lips softly; I could see tears shining in her eyes as she stroked my cheek slowly.
"Oh Linzi, what have I DONE?" the She-demon said, sounding like she meant it.
Her fingers then stroked my back, down from my shoulders towards my bottom, my back arching reflexively to lift my pussy for her. Her long fingernails caressed and pinched my already swollen pussy lips tenderly as I felt the tip of her cockhead push gently but insistently at the tight little entrance to my bottom. I arched my back more deeply still, moaning as her plum breached the resistance of my bumhole to slide inside me; she now pinched and rubbed my nubbin as her cock drove deep into my bottom while her hot tears splashed on my lower back...
My eyes opened to pitch blackness. I had been dreaming of erotic encounters all night, but my dream of Gynestar was so vivid and detailed, it felt as if I had actually been in the temple with her. My skin still tingled where her tears had landed on me. My disorientation faded as I heard the cellar door open, the light from the corridor outside barely lifting the pitch blackness of my prison. The room was now suddenly illuminated to near painful brightness as powerful overhead lights were now switched on, making me squeeze my eyes tightly shut until I dared to cautiously open them again to allow them to adjust. The cage door behind me was opened and I heard Trainer's voice order me to come out. I shuffled backwards until I was kneeling on the floor in front of the cage, which I could now see was completely covered in black rubber matting. The leather tongue of a riding crop cracked hard against my bottom, making me gasp in pain, before Trainer spoke.
"As soon as your body is out of your cage, you assume the basic cuffed pose, slave girl!" he snarled.
The crop whipped down cruelly on my bottom again before I could comply.
"Better." he said. "Now, turn and face me, slut."
I did as ordered as quickly as I could. Trainer then tapped and flicked the crop at various points on my body, making me arch my back more strongly and position my hands in a more supplicatory position, my fingertips and thumbs bunched so my hands resembled small animal paws rather than human hands.
"You will often be cuffed, slave, so get used to holding this pose for long periods." he said. "Now, I am going to remove the chain from your wrist rings. The moment the last link slips from the neck ring on your collar, you will assume the uncuffed pose, which is the one you were in on when you knelt on the ottoman last night. Tell the Master that you understand, slut."
"Yes, Master, the slut understands." I replied.
"Very good." he said. "Most new slaves get that wrong the first time, by not referring to themselves as what the Master called them."
He proceeded to release the chain from both of my wrist rings before pulling it through the collar ring quickly. At the moment the last link passed through, I sat back on my heels and spread my knees wide apart, folding my arms quickly behind my back.
"Very good." he complimented, again correcting my pose with taps of the crop until my breasts were lifted proudly. "I don't teach basic slave knowledge more than once, girl." he continued. "Any fault I find in the basic poses, or any of the other basic knowledge I impart, will be painful for you." he explained, flicking the nearest of my nipples so hard with the crop that I gasped aloud. "Tell the Master that you understand, girl."
"Yes Master, the girl understands." I replied.
Without further acknowledgement, he then ordered me to heel as he walked across the room to a low table; I followed on all fours and stopped at the table's edge, immediately resuming the basic uncuffed position. I still received a vicious flick to my left nipple from the crop; I arched my back more deeply, lifting my breasts higher as required. Trainer then set a small tray on the table in front of me before lifting the cover off to reveal a tiny bowl of thin oatmeal and a plate filled with chunks of fruit.
"You have five minutes to eat, slut, after which you will be back in basic uncuffed." he said.
"Yes Master, the slut understands." I replied.
"Excellent." he said, "You learn quickly, girl."
He moved away as I began to lap up the watery oatmeal with my tongue.
"You may use your hands." he called over his shoulder, as he busied himself with the room equipment.
"Yes, Master, thank you, Master." I replied, to which he gave no answer. Less than five minutes later, I was back in the pose as ordered, my breasts lifted and offered properly this time.
"Come here, slave girl!" he snapped.
Once I had reached the wall where Trainer was standing, he ordered me to stand and extend my arms; heavy chains were now attached to my wrist rings. He pressed a button on a control box on the wall and the chains began to retract into the ceiling above. I was pulled closer and closer to the rough surface of the cellar wall until my nipples were pressed against it, then my arms were pulled upwards until I was supporting my entire body on the tips of my toes; I groaned at the strain on my wrists whenever my feet tired of holding my body up, then again as my cuffs bit into the skin of my wrists and my shoulders strained, forcing me back onto my tiptoes again. Trainer watched me struggle, smiling at my discomfort, occasionally flicking the crop against my sweet spots to coax me back up onto my straining toes. At last, when he had evidently decided that I could no longer maintain either position in any sort of comfort, tortuously counterpoised between the strain on my wrists and arms and the pain in my toes, he stripped off my pussy harness slowly, wiping the rubber outer sheath clean with sterile wipes before peeling the tight pouch from my sex lips, which I could actually feel spreading apart, opening almost like a flower now that they had been released from their leather prison, the prolonged arousal and pressure seemed to have stretched them, made them fuller, plumper and heavier. He finally spoke again as he uncinched my belly strap to leave my lower body fully naked:
"Your normal daily training routine will consist of physical exercise and instruction in slave poses before breakfast." He said. "Then you will spend the morning learning how to use your body to provide the maximum pleasure of which it is capable. Your afternoons will involve developing and expanding your capacity to endure suffering, which in your Trainer's opinion is by far the most important aspect of your training. A girl who can provide a Master with a deep reservoir of endurance for him to explore, test and enjoy is the best sort of slave. Tell the Master that the slut understands."
Despite the discomfort I was now experiencing, a shiver of apprehension ran through my body as I considered his words.
"Yes Master, the slut understands." I replied, a note of fear in my voice as I focused my gaze on the rough-hewn cellar wall in front of me.
"I hear that fear in your voice, girl", he now said "and that is why I am administering your first lesson in suffering at the very start of your training. The sooner you cease to fear pain and welcome it instead, the sooner you will become the kind of slave I require you to be."
He waited a moment, which was obviously a moment too long, for the shaft of the crop now traced a line of fire across my bottom as he struck me a sharp blow with it.
"Tell the Master that the slut understands." he commanded, a slight tone of impatience in his voice.
