Thomas Dean: Presentation
Staring up at the dazzling spires of Mugglin Manor's great house, strangely I felt assured that I was home. Returned here naked, one among a dozen naked females, heads shorn, hands secured behind their backs, shipped from the Institute to labor in the fields of the Manor. I'd say I was nothing special, just another slave with the right to obey. Except, unlike the others with stubble topped scalps, I managed to keep collar length hair. I smirked, "everything's for sale at the right price."
On arrival at Mugglin Manor, Charlie the Estate agent swiped the bar code on my right butt cheek just under the hip. "Freida," he announced, "age 34."
I deliberately interrupted the agent, "Been gone three months and you've already forgotten me?"
"Freida, if you didn't have special cargo aboard, I'd order a paddling," Charlie mocked me when he requested my permission to continue reading my bar code, "beginning a renegotiated 3rd indenture, selected for special cargo, special conditions permission to live off manor in off season, allowed to sleep off manor during the growing season. Recorded special conditions..."
Upon my return to Mugglin Manor, standing bare foot and naked on the Manor's drive, I didn't feel especially special as I had on departure.
Taking off from my farmhouse for the Institute three months earlier when snow was on the ground, I paused to glance toward spires of the Manor in the distance. Estate Agent Charlie, appropriately in costume as my chauffer, replete with the dark suit and tie which contrasted nicely with his faded blond hair, questioned solicitously, "Is your husband OK with this?"
Looking toward the spires in the distance, I smiled. I couldn't help feeling special. If I succeeded, I might own that Manor, where 14 years ago, I arrived a naked slave.
Charlie commented on my tan preserved through the harsh winter months. "Nice contrast with your new white collared blouse and black suit jacket, still with store creases. A chemical spray?" Charlie suggested.
"A farmgirl," I took a deep breath, "doesn't spend money on an artificial tan when a tan can be had outdoors for free," I forced a pained smile as I pointed to the sun.
"In the altogether in the cold and the snow?" Suspicion entered Charlie's voice.
"Makes the lovin' afterwards inside, much wilder," came my repartee.
Opening the door of the Master's waiting limousine, Charlie complimented my appearance. "My instructions were to dress my best. Did you expect a farmgirl's ensemble: Clean dungarees and a new sweatshirt with fresh underwear on underneath or the Manor slaves' attire blessed with nothing more than the black boots you issue onboarding naked slaves at the beginning of the season?"
"I might prefer that," Charlie, removed his cap to climb into the driver's seat, "I admire your bare butt and boobs bouncing through the gardens."
During the trip to the Institute, the ride in the limousine was so smooth that I barely felt the chug holes that pitted the country road. Charlie, my Estate Agent, attempted some small talk -- about my hair. "How did you get exempted from the Estate's rule that indentured slaves scalps were reduced to stubble?"
"And you?" I questioned, "You keep a nice shock of faded blond hair a top?"
"Professional caste!" came Charlie's firm reply.
"Life from today for many is regulated by the Indenture. It's an agreement which binds you to a Master," I smiled, "My indenture allows me to keep neat, short, collar length hair."
"Working the fields naked -- no shirt, no collar; how do you know if your hair is too long?" Charlie chided me.
"If our Master commands," I laughed, "but he's too busy watching my bouncy boobs or focusing on the V shaped landing strip, pointed at my love port," With a smirk, I added, "He's the Master but he's only a Man."
I was tempted to tease Charlie on that point. Many lords of the manor preferred geldings to avoid unplanned impregnations of female slaves. There was no reason to give insult.
On arrival at the back side, servant's entrance to the Institute's glass and steel tower, Charlie escorted me through lines of wild haired, ungroomed naked slaves with blank stares. "Still in shock. The victims of the free labor market!" Charlie exclaimed. "Yet, they clung to their rights. Where did that lead? The price of freedom is forced repossession for failure to pay debts secured by their persons," thundered the comment as he brought me to the entrance.
"Most unfortunate," was my prosaic remark.
"How many indentures in your current berth at Mugglin Manor," Charlie quizzed me, "have passed since you were taken, stripped bare, secured with cable ties around your wrists and crammed in transit with other captives?"
"Scrubbed, scented, and shipped for cash sale to auction," I quipped, "Everything is for sale if the price is right."
My illusion of being someone special did not survive my arrival at the Institute for very long. Led by Charlie to the dispensary, I was turned over to a grey bloused security officer. The rigid scowl on her pasty white face was complimented by the freshly starched brouse and sharply creased black trousers. Grabbing me by my arm and placing me in a cell, the officer, name tagged Chloe, properly shined short blond ponytail wagging, barked the command, "Strip, slave."
At that command Charlie, brave Estate Agent he was, ducked out of the room.
"Hey Charlie," I called after him, "where you going? I thought you were mesmerized by the enchantment of my bouncing boobs. A wiggle of my butt should send you into ecstasy."
"Never mind him," yelled Chloe, "Everything off your shiny bronzed skin. You're here to assessed for suitability to upload special cargo. That's why you get examined here instead of being hosed down for examination on the loading dock."
As I handed my new skirt, blouse and heels through the bars for inspection by security, I warned the security officer to be careful. "Chloe darling," I dared address her by name, "Those clothes set me back quite a bit."
"File a claim," growled the officer as she dismissed my complaint. The officer, adding "I need the stockings and underwear too," ordered me to go through an inspection, "face right, arms in the air, face left, face me, lift your boobs, squat and cough, turn around, bend over." When I presented my bare butt, guard Chloe gasped, "My God even your butt is bronzed."
"We work the fields all summer in the natural state," I replied, "the only protection from the sun we have is the natural one. Join me sometime. There's a certain liberation in shedding that uniform like it was a second skin -- suddenly, Chloe, the burden of being in charge evaporates and you're like everybody else -- and there's an excitement in the chill when the breeze blows through your docking port and the gusts billow up your -- crack."
"Never mind, spread your cheeks. Good!" Chloe though stunned for a second admiring my full body tan was more interested in appraising her booty, the clothing I had shed. "Nice find with my leave coming up, next week," she declared.
"You could use some time out of uniform," I quipped.
Too busy admiring my confiscated clothing, Chloe ignored my jives.
A dazzling sparkle appeared in her eyes as she held the clothes in front of her.
"Strip down with me, Chloe. Let's enjoy a restful sunbath together," I suggested, "Then you can try the outfit on. I think you'll look cute wearing it especially with skin freshly burnt."
A look of fear spread across her face. Scurrying off with my suit, Chloe rationalized her action, "If selected for special cargo, that tobasco - tongued bitch of a field slave won't need these clothes."
I chuckled. Was the guard more covetous of my ensemble or afraid of being caught out of uniform and reduced to my level? So much for the pursuit of equality through Social nudity at the Institute.
Breezing in some hours later, Dr Amy, with her belly bulged so much she couldn't button her lab coat, apologized, "I had to confer with Dr Crenshaw in his pool complex. To enter his gym and be received by him on an equal plane, on the level, there's a certain rigmarole," she giggled, "a ritual of sorts. Sometimes if you get the right guard, you get tickled. Sorry about the delay. I was caught in a pickle."
"Where would I be going dressed like this?" I chided Dr Amy.
"That's the spirit," Dr Amy declared cheerfully, "I'm to usher you into the secret precincts of the Institute's pool complex, but first your physical.
I hid a chuckle behind a smile when Dr Amy's swollen belly presented difficulties stretching to lay hands on my body strapped to the examining table. As she administered an examination, she read her chart aloud, "Indentured at age 18, permission to marry granted," Dr Amy's eyes widened, "six months into first indenture, reproductive rights assigned to your husband. Five live births over 14 years, all born free of your indenture."
"My old man and I timed it well," I smirked. "all deliveries occurred in the off season."
"Now age 34, two years into your third indenture," Dr Amy continued, "proposed as a candidate to carry a child for Dr Crenshaw who seeks to combine brawn and brains. Lives off the Manor in off season." Clearing her throat, Dr Amy asked, "The big question is not how does your husband feel about this project, but how did you ever get permission to use your husband's last name?"
