Rob van Ersatz, the internationally acclaimed young artist, was just returning from his early morning jogging session. The garage door was wide open so he took the opportunity to run in past his Aston Martin and take the side door into his large house.
He kept running up the winding stair case, two steps at a time, and into his bathroom. After a quick shower he threw on his bath robe and, after a piece of toast and a yoghurt in the kitchen, helped down with black coffee, he strolled into his studio.
It was a large room with a huge north light on one side. Around the base of the walls were scattered canvases, sketch books and various paintings, some finished and some hardly started.
Rob, almost hesitantly, approached the heavy mahogany easel in the centre of the studio. His boyish face looked serious as he looked at the large oil painting on it and sighed. It was a painting he'd been commissioned to do for an oil prince in Saudi Arabia. He'd met the prince at an art exhibition in London and, as they shared a common taste in paintings they had become quite good friends.
The picture was a life size painting of a nude woman in oils. It certainly looked like a woman and her skin tones were faultless as she languidly stood on the patio of a blue pool with palm trees in the distance. But the prince had specifically wanted a painting of a fully sexually aroused woman to hang in his bedroom.
Rob looked at his work and wondered why it was not quite right. It was not convincing. True the woman's shaved labia were open wide and there was the suggestion of a trickle of gleaming juice emerging from her vagina. Her upturned breasts were firm and her nipples stood out hard against her pink skin. Her mouth was open and her tongue was just visible in the corner.
Yes, it had all the elements the prince would want, but it did not convice Rob, and he knew that if it didn't look right to him it would not look right to the prince either. He'd used three of his best models for the painting. The breasts of Anthea, the hips of Catherine and the legs and pussy of Miranda. He'd used all their best bits, but it just didn't gel. Although only 27, Rob was very aware of his reputation as a painter of the human form and knew he must do something about this painting.
He idly took up a paint brush and started tapping on the easel shelf when his reverie was rudely interrupted by the chimes of his door bell. He went over to the studio door, pressed a button and spoke into a microphone, "Yes, who is it?"
A hesitant female voice answered, "Er... It's Katie. You told me to come at eight o'clock."
Rob glanced quickly at his Rolex. It was 7.45a.m. Of course, his slave girl was due to call and she was early. He spoke into the microphone again. "OK. I'll open the door. Just come into the hall. I'll be down right away." He pressed another button. There was a buzz as he opened the door.
He realised he would not have time to get dressed so he pulled the belt of his bath robe tightly around him and went down the stairs into the hall.
The woman standing in the hall had her back to him as she looked at the Greek prints lining the walls. As he descended the stairs silently in bare feet she was unaware of his approach. She didn't turn around so he had plenty of chance to look at her. She was dressed in a pink pleated skirt that came almost to her knees with a white off-the-shoulder peasant blouse. She wore black high-heeled shoes which showed off a very attractive pair of legs.
"Hello Katie!" said Rob breezily as he advanced towards her holding out his hand. She spun round and her shoulder-length blond hair flared out to catch the slanting morning light from a nearby window. She smiled nervously as she shook his proffered hand.
"I...I'm just a bit early. I hope that's alright."
"Of course." Rob looked directly at her. She had smooth skin, enhanced by her perfect make-up, and her bright red lipstick gave her mouth an attractive sensuous look. His eyes dropped to her blouse and he could see she had large, firm breasts surmounted by firm nipples that quite clearly penetrated the soft cotton material of her blouse. It was clear that she was naked underneath.
He took her by the elbow and steered her in the direction of two luxurious leather armchairs. "Have a seat," he said.
Rob's eyes never left her face. "So you are to be my slave girl."
She returned his gaze steadily. "Yes. I'm to be your slave girl." She spoke with some determination in her voice.
