A powerful hand came down and gripped the young slavewoman's slender wrist as she filed into the slaves' dining quarters.
"You're Lucilla?' The young woman nodded nervously. "The lady Mircella told me to bring you downstairs. Come."
Downstairs! Lucilla had been a slave in the household for only a week, after she was captured in her remote seaside village by raiders. Shortly after her arrival, the other slaves had mentioned Downstairs as a place to be most wary of. The household administered very strict discipline; already she had seen one severe and one medium-to-severe public punishment.
The slaves in question - one an attractive, personable young woman from the near East - had been whipped a number of times across their bare buttocks for what seemed like very minor offences, so that thick weals sprung on the soft flesh as the slaves begged hopelessly for mercy. Their sobs and pleadings only seemed to fan the enthusiasm of the whippers. For the next three days both victims had stood to eat their meals, hanging their heads when addressed. All the slaves had reason to fear the lower levels of the household, where penalties seemed without exception severe.
Despite her qualms, Lucilla was obliged to hasten alongside her captor, a towering, heavily muscled guard. Down the stairs, along a dark stone corridor, through into a large cell. Lucilla's fascinated gaze took in a number of wooden implements, each with its own set of rings, as well as a rack of whips and crops. She waited obediently, her eyes lowered, her bare feet feeling the cool stone of the floor.
"Undress." This was not a surprise. Though she was not aware of having committed any offence, the household had slaves strip naked before a chastisement. Additionally, they were required to remain uncovered for some time in the slaves' dining hall, standing on a block with their hands clasped behind their necks, their stripes visible to all. The Masters deemed this to be a useful salutary lesson for all the slaves.
Unable to refrain from cringing slightly, though she feared this might invite her captor's cruelty, Lucilla stood nude and motionless before the hulking guard. She made a pretty sight, with her auburn hair, sweet face, and shapely figure. Her buttocks were beautifully rounded, though not overly large, and her breasts small and pert. Her pale skin possessed a lovely sheen, and her eyes and mouth were large and beautifully shaped. Her vaginal lips were visible behind a screen of fine light hair.
"Mistress says I can have you suck me." This was not a great surprise. Already she had knelt and sucked off two household members: first, the steward, a senior slave who explained her obligation, and instructed her on technique.
"First kiss it. Then run your tongue from the base to just below the tip. Then open your mouth and use your tongue and lips to suck it. Make sure your teeth don't touch it. When I come, do not stop; make sure you swallow every drop, then lick it clean."
Lucilla had followed his instructions and swallowed the hot spurts with only a little choking. Two days later she had been obliged to service a guard, and this time she drank it down easily. The guard was pleased and gave her a small silver coin. Slaves must obey; if there was a reward for good performance, so much the better.
Falling to her knees, she saw the guard's erect phallus in front of her face. It was thick and hard, uncut and seemed to pulse with vigor. She gripped in her slender hands and fondled the shaft. It pulsed under her fingers and a clear liquid oozed from the tip.
She kissed it as she manipulated it, then ran her tongue around the head. Parting her lips, she took in the wide organ and began to suck it carefully, fluttering her tongue along its rigid length and enjoying the sensations of control and submission. The guard responded enthusiastically to her careful attentions, groaning with pleasure. In less than a minute, her newly skilled sucking brought him to a climax. His hot come spurted inside her mouth and she swallowed the liquid quickly.
"Now you must be put in position." He grasped her arms and directed her towards a wooden assemblage on the stone flags. "Feet in holes."
Worried but obedient, she stepped into the two wooden circles bolted to the floor. The guard twisted screws, and her ankles were gripped firmly within the wooden shackle. She was obliged to balance carefully, the shackles were spaced well apart, so that her legs were spread. She felt helpless, unable to move her legs, and a cold fear spread through her.
"Please...what have I done to be punished?"
"Mistress says."
Gripping her wrists, he buckled them behind her back, Fastening the bound wrists to a chain from the ceiling, he shortened it so that she was obliged to lean forward, her arms pinioned and raised behind her. A cool breeze blew on her now exposed private parts. She looked nervously behind herself, and began to plead.
Instead the soldier gripped her delicate nose tightly. When she opened her mouth to breathe, he thrust his strong fingers inside and pushed her jaws painfully apart.
Forcing them open to their maximum, he thrust a hollow wooden gag inside. She could breathe freely, but her mouth was stretched wide and she could only utter unintelligible sounds. She could not exert enough pressure to expel the gag. She was arched forward, her tender bottom protruding, her arms bound and raised behind her, her legs and lower lips spread. Her spit dribbled out of her opened mouth. She looked mutely and apprehensively back at the door. Down the passage sounded young woman's voices.
The two well dressed young ladies looked somewhat alike; dusky features, full lips, dark liquid eyes and curvaceous figures. Lucilla knew them; it was the lady Mircella, daughter of the household, and her favorite slavewoman, a Greek girl named Psyche. Both were about eighteen, clad in matching garb; though Mircella's superiority was evident in her elegant, expensive jewelry. They chatted gaily as they came through the door in a cloud of rare perfume.
"Good, Garth, you have prepared her as I ordered. Did she suck you? Did she do a good job? She's pretty isn't she? Psyche and I have been looking forward to this all day. Now go out, but be there if I call you."
The guard nodded obediently and withdrew. The two moved closer to their bound prey, and examined her closely.
"Her breasts are pretty." Small strong fingers squeezed first one breast, then the other, rolling Lucilla's nipples so that they grew erect. The sensation was not unpleasant. She gasped as a slender hand reached under her from behind and caressed her vaginal slit. "Oh, she's wet. We are going to have fun playing with her." The caressing of her vaginal entrance intensified, and two fingers slipped inside and began an insistent fondling. Lucilla writhed sensuously despite her fear; her lubrication was evident in the slippery sounds coming from below.
"Move over, Psyche. I want to feel her little asshole. It's so pretty and small; pink! I don't think there has been anything inside it yet; certainly not a thick hard cock."
With this, she slid her finger deep in the bound girl's anus, so that Lucilla squirmed and tried to lift herself off the intruding digit. However, Mircilla easily stayed inside her, indeed adding first one, and then two fingers to stretch the young woman's secret passage painfully. Lucilla writhed as her tender rectum was invaded; it was both painful and humiliating. She was entirely at her mistress's mercy, however, immovably secured at her wrists and ankles and split helplessly open.
Psyche stood behind her mistress, pressing herself against Mircilla's shapely buttocks. Lucilla observed that the favorite had reached up under Mircilla's silk dress and was caressing her. The breath of all three, fondled and fondling, began to come faster.
"Psyche, make sure the door is bolted. Let's prepare ourselves."
