Authors Note: It maybe a bit odd that I am posting a slave story under romance, but I think this fits more under this category versus non-consent. I had a few other writers read the story and they all agreed that this is the correct category.
Thanks to Harga, Giftling, Vintage_DM, Bumbling_Fool and Gamblnluck for their invaluable feedback.
This one was inspired by
https://literotica.com/s/mail-order-sex-slave-ch-01
written by kinkbugs. The idea that a drunk buys a slave. It takes place in Gamblnluck's Slave Camp universe but doesn't overlap with any characters or locations. Thanks to Gamblnluck for his approval to write stories in his universe. Other authors have written in a similar space, but I liked the package that Gamblnluck put together.
For those who aren't familiar with his stories, he constructed a universe in which, in a nutshell, people who commit crimes become Judicial Slaves as the government was tired of paying for people to be in prison. Slaves have few rights and can be used however the owner wishes. There are limits on abuse of slaves which, if overstepped, could cause an owner to be given a judicial slave sentence and become a slave themselves.

Chapter 1 -- A funny thing happened on the way back from the lottery office.
I tried to roll out of bed. "What a hangover." I spoke out to no one.
My name is Fred Jones. I am 42, and if the dictionary had a picture of a slightly overweight average guy, my picture would be under the definition. I had dated a bit, but never really clicked with anyone. Maybe I am too picky or untrusting. Both my parents divorced multiple times, so perhaps their situations are in my head a little bit. I work in the accounting department of a local insurance company. It isn't an exciting job, but it pays well, and it allowed me to buy my 2-bedroom condo which is just a year or so from being paid off.
The exciting thing is that a group of us won money in the lottery and were out celebrating last night, which is why I have such a hangover. I pull myself out of bed to go to the attached bathroom to relieve myself and take something for my pounding brain.
I pick up my phone and see a bunch of text messages from my lottery friends. I read a few. The theme of all the messages is similar to the general question "How is she?"
"What the hell?"
I work my way to the kitchen and walk by the second bedroom. I set it up, so my mom and her current husband had a place to stay when they visited. Strange, the door is closed.
I open the door to see that someone is asleep on the bed. I go to check them and notice that it is a naked woman. I run out of the room.
I stand in the hall breathing heavily. I try to think about what the hell happened last night.
"Coffee, I need coffee and I need to think." I first quietly close the bedroom door. I need to get my head straight before she wakes up.
I start the coffee machine and drop some frozen waffles in the toaster. I then try to piece the previous night together.
That week we had gone to the lottery office and claimed the winning ticket. We each netted about 20K from the win which they directly deposited in our accounts. It wasn't enough to quit our jobs, so we waited till Friday to celebrate. We all went out for dinner and then to a bar for drinks.
My waffles were ready, so I started to eat them.
Let's see, we did something else, what was it? Next door to the bar something was happening that we decided to check out. What was it? Oh shit. There was a slave market happening in the event space of the bar.
I jumped out of the chair and ran back to the bedroom. She was starting to stir when I saw it. She has a slave collar. Shit. Did I buy a slave?
I got my phone and checked my bank balance. Shit! There was a payment of 10K made late last night.
Oh no, what the hell did I do? I also spotted a Slave Owner app on my phone. It wasn't there before. I opened it. It showed that I owned one slave. A Cheryl Thompson aged 38. Well, at least I bought someone in my age range.
I heard some movement and then the door opened a crack and a woman's voice said, "Hello, do you have any clothes?"
"Uh, Cheryl is it?"
She responded "Yes."
"Give me a minute."
I ran to my bedroom and found a sweatshirt and sweatpants. Probably too big, but at least something for her to wear. I thought "I wonder how long it has been since she showered." My parents had owned a few slaves when they owned a farm. I had gotten a Slave Ownership license at that time. I remember helping them when they bought some of them and sometimes the slaves hadn't been able to clean themselves for days. I grabbed a bathrobe and a towel as well for her.
I knocked on the door and asked, "Do you want to have a shower?"
She replied. "That would be marvelous." I opened the door a crack and handed her the clothing, bathrobe, and towel. I saw two hands grab the bundle and I closed the door.
"You can shower in the bathroom here in the hall. My mother stored some shampoo and body wash under the sink for when she stayed. You can use that."
The door opened. She was wearing the bathrobe. I got my first look at her. She is about 5'3", so about 8 inches shorter than me. Dirty blond hair. She looked haggard but she probably has been through the ringer the last few days. She isn't bad-looking. She is the same as me, average with a few extra pounds from what I could tell.
I stammered, "I'll let you have your shower, and after I will make you breakfast, and then maybe.....you could....help me kind of fill in some blanks from last night?"
She smiled, kissed me on the cheek, and said, "Yeah, you were pretty out of it last night. I was surprised they allowed the sale, but then I was kind of the last of the inventory, so they probably were happy to sell me."
I just looked flabbergasted, and she disappeared into the bathroom.
Shortly, I heard the shower start and with nothing else to do, I finished my breakfast and called one of my lottery friends. I needed to find out what the hell happened last night.
Jim answered his phone. "Hey lucky guy, how is she?"
"Jim, What the hell happened last night? I woke up this morning and found out that I bought a slave?"
I heard laughter from the other end of the phone. "We kind of thought that maybe you had one too many drinks last night. What do you remember?"
