After a bite or two she looked over at me and said, "Not too bad. Nothing fancy but I did not give you any guidance there, so no foul. You learn more about my tastes as we go on. You will need to be a good cook because I like to eat and it has to be tasty."
We ate in silence as Mildred finished her sandwich. When she finished, I stood and picking up her plate said, "Will there be anything else Mistress?"
"Yes," she answered, "you can cut out that mistress crap. This is not some fantasy and I am not your mistress. You can keep calling me Mildred until I tell you otherwise. Now sit back down and let's have a chat. By chat, I mean, I am going to talk and you are going to listen."
I sat and listened.
" I told you that I may not be as nice as you think. Let me expand on that. If your ass had not been in such bad shape when I caught you that first time, I had a dildo in my saddle bag and I was looking very forward to using it on you. I would have been a lot more gentle than Annie was but when I was done with you, you would have know what it was like to be fucked by a superior woman. I have always been that way. I like control. Back before I came here I went out with a few men and some were even into me pegging their asses. Most of the time it was just sweaty exercise for me but every once in awhile I would get a guy who was reluctant and who I had to sweet talk or coerce into bending over for me. The feeling of power during those moments, when I had some guy's nervous and virgin ass to pound, left me dripping wet."
"When I was a kid, I was big for my age. Not exactly fat but stocky, taller than average and really good at sports. I played field hockey in the summer and ice hockey in the winter with baseball and basketball in between. Even played on a guys team until I found out that guys who I checked into the boards on Saturday afternoons never wanted to ask me out on Friday nights. High school was a lonely time for me but my abilities got me a scholarship to college where I decided to become a nurse."
"I always have liked running things. When I am in charge I know that I can make good decisions and when people do things my way, things tend to work out. I guess this was why my dates in college were usually one time things. Most guys are used to running the show and think women can't handle the big decisions. My social life was lousy and I was desperate for some companionship when I stumbled onto feminist group on campus. I found out that there were a lot of other women who felt the same way as I did. They were a liberated bunch and taught me that a woman's pleasure should always come first, foremost and often. If the guy got off, that was a bonus for him and not my worry. It was a whole new way of looking at sex that fit right in with my take charge mind set. I found that sitting on some guys face, pounding his ass or holding his head up under my skirt were my preferred ways of having a relationship."
Mildred paused for a moment to take a long slip of her wine. I decided this gave me an opening to ask her something. "So, is that why you came here? To be in charge?"
"No, I never heard of this place until much later and that is not why I came. After college I completed the steps to become a nurse and took a lot of additional training to move up to a position of authority. I loved working in the emergency room. It was an adrenaline rush with all the trauma and need for quick, decisive decisions. Doctors were sometimes a pain but I stood my ground and took no shit from them. I had the reputation of being a tough bitch but one who was nearly always right."
"Working in the E.R. I got to see a lot of abused women and it really pissed me off. The worst ones were the ones who came in on the arm of their abusers and who would swear that they fell down the stairs or something stupid. Most were lost causes even when I got them alone for a talk. Then I met Phyllis. You know Phyllis, she's the one who accompanied you on the last part of your trip here. She and I are two of the leading citizens of the republic and both here since the early days. Phyllis is the reason I found this place and how I came to be here."
"I saw Phyllis come into the ER twice before I had the chance to cover her case on her third visit. She had a monster for a husband. A real bad ass bastard who beat her, broke her bones and knocked out her teeth. When I tried to talk her into going to the police she just cried and shook, refusing to do anything to the slob. She said he would kill her if she reported him and if she had him locked up, he had friends who would be happy to kill her for him. He was a well connected gangster and there was nowhere she could hide from him. She was beat up so bad that I was able to admit her and get her into a protected ward where he could not see or visit her, or so I thought"
"I remembered one of my feminist friends mentioning this place she heard about where men were nearly never allowed and women ran things. I thought she was fantasizing at the time but for the heck of it I gave her a call and told her about Phyllis. She said she would get back to me. Two days later I got a phone call and some instructions."
"Before I could do anything else, her bastard husband managed to use some connections to get her released. He even hired a private nurse to take care of her. As they wheeled her out she looked at me with tears in her eyes and whispered, 'help me!'"
"I knew the nursing agency that her husband had hired. The nurse that was with Phyllis had worked with me a year ago and we were sort of friends. I bribed her to call in sick and offered to take her place. It took a bit of time to do this as I had to juggle my regular job and sign up with her agency to get on the list. Fortunately, private nurses are in great demand and they never asked any questions other than to see my professional qualifications. There were no other spare nurses hanging around so when my friend called in sick, I got the call to stand in."
"Phyllis pretended not to know me when I arrived at the house and her shit ball of a husband never gave me a second look. Getting Phyllis out was easy after I settled in. After the old bastard had sucked back most of a bottle of whiskey and went to sleep, I gave him an overdose of Hydromorphone and he was off to to the land of nod followed by a sharp drop to the gates of hell. I got Phyllis out of the house and onto the exit route I had been given before the son of a bitch's body was cold. Together we went to New Zealand and were met at the airport much like you were. My nurse friend showed up two days later to find her patient missing and the shit bag starting to bloat. For me it was a one way trip. I have never had any desire to go back to the mainland. That was about twenty years ago. Phyllis and I have been citizens of the Aurora Republic longer than most. We are also two of the most respected and in my case, feared. But you don't need to worry, I'm really quite kind hearted."
"Now, no more chit chat. I'd like you to tidy up the kitchen, get something nice out for dinner and make sure my bathroom is clean. The laundry basket is full and needs to be done and I know you know how to work the washer. We don't use a dryer but there is a clothes line outside and things dry quickly here. These will be your regular duties for now along with making sure the house is clean. I work at the hospital five days out of the week. I expect breakfast at 7, dinner at 6. I'll let you know if I need a lunch. There are plenty of groceries for now and I will go over shopping with you when we need more. These will be be your duties for the next week or so until I feel you are ready for more. Do as you are told and do it well and we will get along just fine. Your clue that you are healed will likely be my latex dick knocking on your ass."
To be continued.
