Dave gleefully drove home, with his left hand on the steering wheel at the 12-o'clock position. His right hand was placed on the inner thigh of Number 14362. Initially, she winced at first; after all it's natural since she was blindfolded and her ears were plugged. Despite how clammy her skin was, he spent the 45-minute commute home slowly stroking her thigh in a pacing motion, from her knee all the way, up her thigh. stopping just before her vagina. She was
his
now, and he wanted to enjoy his latest purchase.
Dave played a men's self-improvement podcast through the car stereo system as he drove. While he enjoyed the content and was a regular listener, this podcast had a secondary purpose; as an insurance policy. Dave wasn't sure about the efficacy of the ear plugs, thus he wanted to provide background noise to ensure that she couldn't detect any environmental cues such as nearby sirens, road work, pedestrian chatter and so on.
Dave pulled into his parking spot at the apartment he lived in. Upon shutting off the engine, he re-buttoned the last three buttons on Number 14362's poncho and removed her ear plugs. He exited the vehicle and went to his hatchback trunk and grabbed the box containing the starter kit and the documentation with one arm and closed the hatch. He then went over to the passenger side door. After unbuckling Number 14362, he guided her up and out of the car just as gently as he did 45 minutes prior. Once she was out of the car and safely standing, he grabbed the end of her chain-leash, car keys still in hand. He hip-checked the passenger door closed and awkwardly pointed his key fob at his car and pushed the button to lock the car.
Dave gave another gentle tug on the leash to signal to Number 14362 that it was time to get moving. Once again, Dave intentionally slowed his gait in order to accommodate her. Upon reaching the four-step staircase at the front door, he wrapped his arm around her and told her when to step upwards. Again, she leaned into his guiding arm, seemingly thankful for the assistance. He repeated this routine moments later as he walked down an indoor flight of stairs. After a few more steps, they arrived at the front door to his apartment.
Dave unlocked his front door and then shimmied his keys back into his pocket and gave the leash one last gentle tug. Number 14362 walked into the unit, as she could notice the flooring underneath her high heels change. Dave closed and locked the apartment door behind them and instructed her to wait right where she was as he placed the box down in his bedroom. He returned to Number 14362 to unbutton all of the buttons on her poncho. After removing the yellow poncho and hanging it up on a wall-mounted coat rack, he then slowly removed her blindfold; he didn't want to painfully flood her eyes with too much light at once.
"Welcome!" Dave started eagerly, "It may not be much, but it's your new home". Number 14362 looked around to survey her surroundings.
"Here, let me give you the grand tour" Dave stated, though he had a quick change to his plan.
"If you promise to be a good girl, and not do anything stupid like get violent, try to run away, or scream, I'll take off your cuffs, heels and gag." Dave offered
"Can you be a good girl and behave?". An enslaved woman can be referred to as a
girl
regardless of her age as society had long removed that social faux pas surrounding that term's use on adult women.
Number 14362 nodded in agreement. Dave then obliged by unbuckling the clasp on her high heels. As soon as she felt the clasps were loose, she gingerly stepped out of the feminine footwear. Dave then neatly put her shoes by the door, so as to not create a tripping hazard. Next Dave removed the ball gag from her mouth and tossed it onto his bed.
Finally, he removed her handcuffs. Number 14362 slowly moved her hands in front of her to rub her wrists;
She must've been wearing this stuff for hours
Dave thought.
"Thank you, Sir" Number 14362 warmly stated.
"You're very welcome, and thank you for being a such a good girl so far" Dave retorted before kissing her on the cheek. "I don't feel like calling you
Number 14362
. What's your actual name?"
"Lauren" the redheaded slave answered.
"Such a pretty name for such a pretty slave girl" Dave kissed her once again as she remained motionless. "Now, about that grand tour".
Dave tugged on her leash and lead her first to the bedroom. Lauren was shocked at how bare it was; nothing more than a large full-sized mattress atop a box spring and plain metal frame, not a head board in sight. Dave's bedroom also had a makeshift desk comprised of an old piece of plywood laying across two half-sized filing cabinets. On the desk was only an alarm clock and a laptop. The desk-in-name-only had an old chair that resembled the one in the finance manager's office. The box Dave was carrying sat in the corner of the room by a secondary door, presumably a clothes closet.
Dave started "This is my" he stopped himself "
our
new bedroom. You'll notice how I don't have a slave crate." Dave pointed out.
Lauren knew it was common practice for owners to force their new acquisitions to sleep in what were essentially large dog crates for the first several weeks in order to
break
their slaves. She was a little relieved when she saw that wasn't the case here. Dave turned to her and looked intently into her eyes
"Here's the deal. You'll sleep in the warm, soft bed with me by default. However, if you start misbehaving, I won't hesitate to buy a crate and you'll sleep in that until you learn to be a good girl again. The bed is yours until you do something stupid to lose it. Got it?"
"Yes Sir" Lauren replied.
"Fantastic" Dave answered. "The desk is off-limits for now". Dave stated bluntly. He tugged on her leash. "It's time to see the kitchen"
After a few steps, she scanned the kitchen. Little more than a wrought-iron patio table with a tempered glass top, two wooden chairs that had clearly seen better days, an old milk crate, and a counter top with the bare essential small appliances. She also mentally noted that the dishwasher looked fairly new.
"Here's the kitchen and dining room area" Dave mentioned. He opened a door to the pantry and to the fridge and freezer to show her the contents.
