The clock struck two and Margaret stirred and rose from the bed. Naked, she walked to the mirror and looked at herself dispassionately. A slender body, nice breasts, long brown hair, but she was more interested in looking at her freshly waxed pussy. Very nice, not what she was used to, and so she ran her hand between her legs to feel it. The feel of her smooth lips was like nothing she'd ever felt, and she wanted to do more, but realized that she had an appointment that she was expected to keep, so after one last look, she turned and walked out the door of the bedroom. The big house was very quiet, the servants having been sent away for the rest of the week. No radio, no television, just the sound of the insects and birds, and the ticking of the big clock in the hall downstairs. She walked along the carpeted hallway, feeling very odd being naked there, and just a little fluttery in the stomach, knowing what was to come. The hall was cool, and a little dark. She went down the stairs, pausing at the turn of the landing to look in the mirror there. This time she concentrated more on her hair than anything else, looking at the length and thickness of it and feeling how it tickled her nipples where it hung over her shoulders to the front.
Once down the stairs, she continued down the lower hall, the polished wood a contrast on the soles of her feet after the carpet upstairs. She passed the library, looking in briefly and wondering what it would feel like to sit naked in one of the big leather chairs, but she went on, past the formal dining room. She could already see the big kitchen at the back of the house, with its stone floor and wooden table, and she could see through it too, to the brick courtyard beyond.
As Margaret walked through the door to the outside, her eyes adjusted to the dazzle of the light, and she saw William waiting for her. Master William, as she was learning to call him, waiting patiently, wearing his customary khaki chinos and blue oxford cloth shirt, his blond hair falling in a floppy bang over his eyes. His sleeves were rolled back, also customary, and she saw the sun glint off the blond hairs of his forearms.
When she was in front of him, she inclined her head slightly and said, "Master William."
He looked her up and down, looking especially at her pussy. "You were waxed," he observed, "as I commanded that you be."
"Yes, Master William," answered Margaret.
"And was it painful?"
"It was quite painful," she said, "But it was your will, so it was worth it."
He nodded, pleased, and passed his hand briefly between her legs to check that a good job had been done. Smooth and hairless, and soft. Very nice.
"Now, Margaret," he said, "Put your hands behind your back and turn around."
Margaret turned around and put her hands behind her back, realizing almost instantly her mistake. Biting her lip, she waited for what she knew would come.
"Margaret." William's voice was chiding. "I truly thought you were a smarter slave than that. It was quite an elementary command, I'm surprised that you couldn't get something so simple right." He removed something she couldn't see from the tray, sighed, and said, "I was expecting this come at the end of what we did today, but it seems to be necessary now. Lean over the chair. You may support yourself with your hands."
Margaret did as she was told; leaning over the chair left, of course, her round, ripe ass exposed. She could see now, from the corner of her eye, what William held. It was what she was expecting, a crop. She braced herself, and after what seemed an eternity, they came--six sharp strikes, three on each side. She made no noise and barely flinched, as she had been taught. "Straighten up," William told her.
As she did so, Margaret, emboldened, ventured to speak. "Master William," she said softly, "May I ask for more, on my back this time?"
William was pleased when she asks for more blows, so he said, "Why, yes, dear slave, you may. Today is quite an occasion, I think we could mark it..." lingering on the mark.
He tossed her hair to the front, so that her back was exposed, and after another short pause, repeated the process--three on a side, leaving sharp welts against her white skin. "Face me," he said, and when she has complied, said, "Shall we try it again? Put your hands behind your back and turn around."
This time Margaret got the order right, and William removed one more of the items from the table: a set of handcuffs. He snapped them around her wrists, and stepped back to look at her. Naked in the hot sun, hands cuffed behind her back, pubic hair waxed away to leave her smooth...yes, she was on the way to being as he would like her. The next set of implements were removed from the table, these being a set of screw-on nipple clamps.
