From the ending of chapter 36:
Kassie looked at me and said, "I love you, too, kitten. Your transformation is amazing." Then she asked, "Kelly, do you mind if I remove my clothes while I help kitten?"
"Kassandra, nudity is always acceptable in my house. You never have to ask. Yesterday you asked to see the playroom. I said you couldn't just see it. You would have to experience it. Are you ready to experience our playroom?"
"Yes, but I must admit, with a lot of trepidation, not knowing what that experience will entail."
"You will probably feel more trepidation when you see what is waiting for you in there, Kassandra. I will be in the den, probably reading the paper when you two are finished here."
An hour later Kassie and I knelt before Kelly in the den.

Without even glancing at us, Kelly continued reading the paper for several minutes while we knelt before her waiting. I had explained the proper position to Kassie: legs spread shoulder width, toes touching, body erect, and hands clasped behind the back. Finally, Kelly lowered the paper, glanced at us and said, "You may rest," then she raised the paper and started reading again.
Kassie, not sure what she should do, looked at me so she could follow my lead. I sat back on my legs, while continuing to hold my back straight, and moved my hands to rest on the top of my legs, palms facing up. I can't speak for Kassie, but I felt wonderful performing this submissive act for my Mistress in front of my sister. Many may not understand my feelings, but each day I am an obsequious and fawning slave to Kelly increases my love for her. While one side of that love is obviously sexual, I also feel I have found my soul mate. I am so pleased that Kassie could be here to see the relationship Kelly and I have. It is much more difficult to discuss and understand such a relationship through a phone call. I now know Kassie is happy for me. Someday I hope my brother will be also. Next to Kelly, they are the most important people in my life.
Time moves slowly when one is doing nothing. Kelly glanced at us again and said, "Kassandra, you are fidgeting. When you are kneeling in my presence, you will remain still." I chuckled to myself thinking that she wouldn't be around long enough to learn everything she needs to know. I was careful not to grin, however. In this situation that would get me into trouble. I was sorry my sister would have to fly home Monday night.
Kelly finally folded the newspaper carefully and laid it on the sofa beside her. "Kassandra, I know why my pet is kneeling before me, but why are you also kneeling?"
"Ah...because I thought that's what you wanted?"
"And, pray tell, what made you think that?"
"Well, when I said I was feeling some trepidation over experiencing your playroom, you said that I would feel more trepidation when I see it. kitten, had told me that one might consider your playroom to be a miniature dungeon."
"I know you are a very intelligent person, Kassandra. How would you define the word, 'experience?' "
"Sort of personally encountering or undergoing something."
"Yes. I felt your fear would be increased because I suspect you have never seen the kind of equipment that might be in a playroom like mine. I know kimmy has already told you that I take her there to satisfy her need for sensuous pain, for erotic play and when she needs to be disciplined. I also suspect that is the real reason you want to see it." Kassie confirmed Kelly's statement. "I felt that you might be alarmed when you first saw my equipment, knowing that kimmy has been in there several times."
"My original plan for your experience was the 'encountering' part of your definition, not the 'undergoing' part. I was going to demonstrate, with kimmy, some of the things she and I do in our playroom, and maybe have you assist me." By now I should have known Kelly well enough to realize what her plan was, yet I, too, fell for it. I was the lure and Kassie was the fish. Kelly had just set her hook and was reeling in her catch. "However, now that you are offering yourself to me, in such a beautiful, supplicant manner, I am forced to change my strategy."
"kimmy, please get your old collar. I believe it is still in the top of the closet."
"May I stand to go get it, Mistress."
"No, you may not until you get to the closet, of course. Return on your hands and knees. Don't forget the lock."
I crawled back holding the buckle of the collar in my teeth. To make it easier, I had hooked the hasp of the lock through the D-ring but did not close it. "Kassandra, do you remember how kimmy presented and asked for my collar?"
"I did, Kelly."
"Mistake number one, but I will forgive it since I haven't explained the rules to you. You will now address me as Miss Kelly or Ma'am."
"May I change my mind about visiting your playroom, Kelly... I mean Ma'am?"
"No, you may not. You have presented yourself before me in a submissive manner. I expect you to continue as my submissive. Of course, you may embarrass yourself in front of your sister and throw in the towel."
I saw a little tremor move over Kassie and wondered what her reaction will be as Kelly's plan for her progresses. I was watching Kassie instead of looking directly at Kelly but knew that is what my mistress wanted. It is another of the little nuances I picked up while being her slave 24/7.
