Friday night in the pub as usual.
The seven friends were sitting at their usual table. There were two couples, two single women and another man on his own. Conversation turned to weird stuff they had seen on TV. Mark told about a show he had watched about S and M relationships. He had been particularly amused by two ladies who each talked about having a male slave. One of the ladies had her husband doing all the housework. She kept him in a cage in the garage when she didn't need him and fed him on table scraps and dog food. She had two boy friends, one of whom was around the house most of the time.They were all really abusive to the husband, with frequent slaps and kicks and it looked like a whip was involved as well, but that may have been for the benefit of the TV camera,
The other woman seemed to have a normal relationship with her husband but there was a man who she called "the slave". He came round on demand and did whatever she wanted him to do, sometimes it was just to make them a cup of coffee, other times it was to clean the house, do laundry or wash up the dishes. The slave did all the shopping and it looked like he paid for everything he bought. A whip was definitely involved if she wasn't happy with his work or just because she felt like it.
Alice pricked her ears up at this. "Oh I could do with one of those, I hate house work and my house is always a mess. I can't see Joe doing any housework mind you, let alone putting up with me having a boyfriend, not that I would want anyone else anyway. Joe doesn't seem to mind the mess, he is more interested in food and sex so as long as I keep coming up with both, he is happy".
Alice was tall and slim with long legs and toned glutes. She dressed to show off her assets. And to keep Joe interested.
"Sarah! You are a domestic goddess and your house is always perfect. I know Mark does a lot as well but still. I really do wish mine was like that but I just never seem to be able to make any impression on the chaos. Now if I had a cleaning lady or something I am sure it would be a great help but we really can't afford that. But someone who came in whenever I needed and did it all for free, now I could go for that. I don't care if it's a woman or a bloke as long as they do the job and dont cost me anything. Where do you find these "slaves"? There.must be quite a few of them about if they get a TV show all about them"
"Does anyone know how this slave thing works? You really mean the slave person has to do whatever they are told just like that. No questions, no arguments, just do it! And I don't have to pay them! What if I had a slave and they had been slaving away, Haha Slaving away! Anyway they had been doing stuff for me all day and they had just gone home and I was sitting watching TV and wanted a glass of wine but couldn't be arsed to go and get one?"
" You just get the slave to come back and get your wine and then bugger off again!"
" And if I feel peckish at 3 am on a cold night?"
" Same. You get the slave to come round and make you a snack and then get out! And probably get angry because it took too long!"
