I have a slave girl.
My husband bought me one.
They delivered her today.
The doorbell rang. I had to sign a clipboard. She walked inside, eyes downcast.
She came with no instructions.
She wore no clothing.
(Apparently, that costs extra, the cheap bastard.)
She's quite young, medium height, slender, brunette, blue eyes.
Creamy white skin, more northern European than Mediterranean.
Hasn't all her curves, yet, but I can tell she will, eventually.
She knelt in a posture of obedience and awaited my instructions.
"What is your name?"
She looked up at me, frightened, and then looked down, saying nothing.
"So, it's okay if I make you a name?"
She nodded her assent, still looking at the floor at my feet.
Let's leave that a bit, shall we? Can you read and write?
She nodded, yes.
"Okay, slave girl, you're going to have to speak until I tell you to be silent, so answer me, verbally, okay?"
"Yes, ma'am," then, "I can read and write."
"Now, get up off the floor. I'll tell you when to kneel, otherwise, I want you to attend me, standing."
"Yes, ma'am." She stood, eyes downcast.
"There's a book of baby names over by the desk. Go get it and come back."
She walked over, found the book (she can read), and walked back.
"Follow me to the bathroom."
She walked behind me, hesitantly, until we found the hall water closet.
"You can use the bathroom, now, if you need to, or later, anytime. "
"Thank you, ma'am. It was a long ride."
"Very well, close the door while you're using it and when you're finished, return to the parlor."
"Yes, ma'am."
I heard her use the restroom and wash her hands. I went back to the parlor and waited her return. In a few minutes, she came in and stood before me, eyes downcast, again.
"You're going to ruin your posture always looking down. Please adopt a more natural pose. It's okay to look about you. I will speak to you when I want something."
Finally, her head came up and I got to look into her eyes.
"Now, go sit at the desk and read the book I gave you. I want you to select a name and tell me what it is. Take your time, I'm going to wait here for you to finish.
She moved over to the desk and sat. She looked back and me, then turned to study the book.
While she read, I studied her carefully. There were no marks that she'd been beaten or mistreated. She seemsd healthy and clean. She certainly acted intelligent and polite.
She was quite pretty and I looked forward to getting to know her. What to do with her?
My cell rang. It was my husband, "How do you like my gift?"
"Thank you so much. We're getting to know each other."
"Can I pick up something for you on the way home?"
"No, as a matter of fact, I'd like you to sleep out, tonight. I need the time to get to know her better before you come home."
"Sure, if that's what you want. I'll stay at ...."
"Don't bother with the details. Whatever you're going to do, I forgive you."
"Ha! I'll call before I come home tomorrow night."
"Whatever."
I was sure despite my short answers he knew I was pleased with his offering. She was probably quite expensive. He wasn't forgiven, not completely, but it was okay for him to come home.
Eventually.
When I hung up, she was standing before me with the book. Her gaze met mine, thank goodness.
"Well, what did you decide?"
"Miss, with your permission, I'd like to be called 'Evelyn'".
"Well, Evelyn, that is your name. Always remember that you picked it out."
"Yes, ma'am."
"You'll need a last name, too. My mother's maiden name is Humboldt. You'll use that name until I tell you otherwise."
"Evelyn Humboldt, yes, ma'am, thank you very much."
"Now, Evelyn, tell me what you remember of your past."
"I was raised with a number of slave children in a group home. The staff treated us strictly, but kindly. We were trained that we could expect anything once we were sold."
"Come here." She walked over next to my chair.
I ran my hands over her body, which was soft and warm. She was ticklish in the spots you might expect to find that reaction. I spread her cheeks and looked at her bottom. It seemed quite normal.
I had her spread her legs and I inspected her sex. Again, everything appeared normal. I felt inside her and found the maidenhead was intact.
