I was most reluctant to rouse the two sleeping beauties on my bed, but I felt I had to. There was much I needed to discuss with Tansy for a start. Fortunately, she was the first to open her eyes and I motioned to be quiet and pointed to her and then to the veranda. Without another word I went back out. It would be good to put off talking with mum for a while.
Sat back in the fresh air I started to reflect on everything that had happened. I had big decisions to make, the easiest of which was whether to take the job or not. Let's face it, I would be a fool not to. Ideally it would be with Tansy following me around training to follow in my footsteps. The second, and more difficult decision was what to do with mum. That would require more thought.
I was interrupted in my thoughts by Tansy appearing at the door, a concerned look on her face. She still wore the pink strap-on that I had given her and told her to use on mum but was still naked apart from that. I gazed in awe and joy at the sight of her pretty little pert breasts glistening in the sunshine.
"I think its time to take that off, Tansy," I told her, "And then come and join me. I have things to discuss."
Slowly she unbuckled herself from the straps and lowered the plug-in down her legs and stepped out of it. She still looked worried as she took the chair opposite me.
"Is everything okay, Miss Laura?" she asked a bit nervously.
"Everything is fine, Tansy. I didn't see everything that happened in there, but I heard most of it, and what I heard pleased me. I'm proud of you, Tansy."
I watched as her face turned from worried and nervous to relieved and smiling.
"It's just," I continued, "while you were busy... inside, I had a visitor... err... someone I think you know, a Miss Margo?"
Her eyebrows went to the sky when she heard the name mentioned.
"I believe she is your manager and the one who hired your services."
"She is, Miss, and I owe her a great deal for this job."
"She too was impressed by the noises coming from inside the cabin. But that is by the by. The reason she came here was to offer me a job."
"That's wonderful, Miss. Does that mean you'll be staying longer?"
"Yes... if... I decide to accept her offer. She wants me to train some of her girls to be pets for some of the guests. I said I would accept but on one condition."
I hesitated to build up the tension. Tansy was leaning forward desperate to hear more.
"I said I would agree if, and only if, I could have you to train as a pet owner. To work beside me, and not under me. I think you would fit the roll perfectly. What do you say?"
"Oh, Miss, I'm not sure I'm worthy."
"Well, I am, especially after what I witnessed and, more importantly, heard of the goings on earlier I am persuaded and convinced. However,... two things that must change with you." She again looked concerned. "First, you are now my equal and so you must address me only as Laura and ditch the Miss. You, on the other hand will always be addressed as Miss Tansy by those we are training. Okay?"
"Err... yes... err... Laura."
"Secondly, as a trainer of pets and of owners, I would expect you to be covered at all times. It's what brought me to the attention of Miss Margo. So, I expect the same of you, but... nice as your uniform and very safe bikini is, what is needed is something a little, shall we say sexier, a little skimpier. Do you have anything suitable? If not I'm sure Miss Margo will cover the expense at the shop."
"Oh, Miss... sorry, Laura I shall try my best to find something."
"We have a meeting with Margo tomorrow morning, so I expect it sorted by then. I'm sure you will be invited to attend. But now, I am going to sit for a while by the pool and think up plans for the next few weeks."
"And I must go and visit Miss Margo, and then the shop."
"I suggest you get back in uniform then."
She blushed and dashed back into the cabin. It seems she had forgotten that she was naked, on the veranda, in full view of any passing guest. I was sure that, over the next few weeks she would become more aware of herself in her surroundings. At least, I hoped she would.
I spent the rest of the day under a sunshade at the pool. Most of the time I pretended to be sleeping to avoid any disturbance, but the fact was I spent all afternoon thinking and planning. By the end I had decided finally what to do about mum. She was an ideal holiday companion, but the truth was that I was now no longer on holiday. I tried to feel sad but could honestly only manage relief. I would send her home. I had brought her on an unforgettable holiday, unthinkable a few months ago and she ought to be happy about that. Now it was back to her rainy and not quite so warm home. I was sure she had friends who would console her as well as be jealous of her for where she had been. But I now had work to do and more important things to concentrate on.
On the way back to the cabin I dropped off at the hotel on the odd chance that Margo would still be there, but she had already left for the day. However, a very pretty young girl, her secretary or assistant I'm not sure of her title, gave me a message. Tomorrow I would be meeting three of the staff who had volunteered to train as pets. I was also given a plastic card that allowed me to buy, within reason, anything I might need, so I decided to head for the shop. I bought a few items I thought I might need for the morrow. Generally, pets are not a very expensive thing to keep. At home it is mostly their lodging and food, neither of which would be a problem here. I did buy a new riding crop as one in the hands of an owner always conveys an air of authority. I know I already had one in my special case of toys back at the cabin, but I thought I deserved a treat. This new one was tipped by a pair of supple leather tongues that made a lovely noise when used. I charged that to my account and not to the hotel plastic I used for the other items.
Back at the cabin I tried to explain the change in my circumstance to mum and, as I had feared she got upset and started crying and pleading, both of which I detest so I simply stated that my mind had been made up and that she would be leaving tomorrow. I almost didn't take her for dinner but in the end relented once she promised to stop making such a fuss. I had a lovely dinner and made sure mum got her favourites in the pet room. I had forgotten to have lunch, so I was starving. When we got back to the cabin, I made mum sleep on the floor as punishment for her previous behaviour and because I needed a good night's sleep to be ready for the morning. When I woke it was early and I got up and showered.
I decided to wear my yellow bikini for the meeting. It was very slightly less daring than the red one but only just. I wanted to make the best impression on both Miss Margo but also on the three prospective trainees.
I nudged mum awake with my foot and told her I was about to leave for the meeting. I had arranged for her to get the ferry over to the mainland and she should be sure to catch it. I had her booked on flights that would take her home so gave her tickets I had printed out ready. I felt mean and cruel just sending her off like that, but I now had more important responsibilities to concern me. I walked out of the door without a backward glance.
I arrived at the main building just before my due time and made my way to Miss Margo's office. Her pretty secretary welcomed me with a strange deference and asked me to go straight in. I knocked on the door and then opened it. Margo was sitting behind her desk, and she looked up and waved me in with a beaming smile.
