I know it has been a long time coming, but my next chapter is ready. I had a few personal matters- a lingering condition and then Covid. I hope to continue the series soon.

Lenore's vague description of her cousin Marge's attitude did not explain much. Did the woman support her cousin through thick or thin or was there no love lost. I knew some families had the attitude "I can screw with my family member all I want but an outsider is not entitled." I had heard the name Dr.Marge bandied around here and at the Hacienda but had never met the woman.
Depending on the context, from all accounts Marge was either the most trustworthy person on the planet or the scariest. I asked Lenore. Once again her answer was not exactly clear. "I trust Marge with anything serious, especially a medical problem. At the same time, Marge is a complete authority figure who, even at my age, would whip my butt if I dared to talk back or disrespect her or my mother. When I acted out as a young teen after my father died, Marge was the one who encouraged my mother to get tough on me. Their idea of tough love was to use a paddle liberally. The paddle was only one of their many disciplinary tools. I think their treatment is one reason my submissive streak is so...well I guess you could say ingrained. "
"She does not seem too keen to protect you." I observed. "From stories you told, Marge would throw you to the wolves."
"Maybe not throw me." Lenore said. "If one of those wolves was hauling me off to her lair against my will, Marge would step in. If I was being led off, she'd stand and watch and even encourage the wolf. When I engaged in any submissive activity in the past, Marge's idea was that it was my nature to engage in any submissive activity and I should live with it and accept the consequences."
"Sounds like a common theme." I observed. "Marge, Lou, Sarah and Wanda all seem to share the same attitude. If Sherrie busts your butt and takes over they think it is on you. " I offered, shaking my head.
"Oh yes! If I let Sherrie take me over, she could stuff a big dildo up my butt on Main street and all four would tell me I accepted Sherrie's dominance so shut up and take it. They'd stand and watch the show." Lenore confirmed.

Christmas was a week away. Derek invited me to bring my girls out to the Hacienda for a celebratory meal the Saturday before. He wanted a little get together with his friends before the holiday. I asked Joanne what she wanted to do. Growing up, Christmas was always an important holiday for her. My wife, Christine always had a few events going on at the University but insisted on our private family celebration. Even after her death, Joanne and I made sure that was the one holiday we spent together.
Now though, she was my slave living amongst a group of other women. Our 'family' was quite a bit larger. We decided to have our own celebratory meal at home on the holiday itself. Sonya, Rene and Carol were all going to spend the day with their families. Joanne was totally on board to start our holiday celebration a week early at the Hacienda.
In keeping with her role as head girl, Sonya insisted on planning and preparing for our group's Christmas meal. This week, she and the other women would bake cookies and pies. I knew better than to interfere. My sole involvement was to tell her to bake a little extra so she, Rene and Carol could take some to their families. They would also prepare a ham for each family.
The next morning, Saturday, Sonya took three of the women, Brenda, Beth and Charlene grocery shopping. I had decided to accept Derek's invitation and as soon as the three got back, I took the girls to the Hacienda. Richard and Marianne asked to be excused to spend the day with some of their friends.
My decision to go was not exactly mine. Lenore insisted I get out of the house and requested I take everybody else with me. Her and Sherrie's absence was not missed. On the way, I heard Joanne whisper to Robin in a not too quiet voice. "I wonder what we are going to find when we get back. Everything normal or Lenore naked and on her knees?" Both girls giggled. I glanced in the rear view mirror. Robin was watching for my reaction, a slight smile on her face. All I could do was shrug.
"I heard you left Lenore and Sherrie home together." Lou commented later. "I guess Lenore figured it was time to settle things." I told her Lenore wanted to make sure nobody was around to interrupt.
"The girls were discussing it earlier." Sarah said. "They were talking about how Lenore ordered Sherrie's pubes plucked last night to soften her up. Some argued it would not help. They were speculating if Lenore was going to presented to the group as your newest slave when you got home, naked and hairless."
I was surprised and asked if they would think that fair to subject Lenore to that humiliation. I thought it a little mean spirited for Sherrie to do that. "Nope, the girls expect it if Lenore submits. Both your girls and ours. Our girls all knew Lenore as another slave girl. Well a free woman acting as a slave with no more rights than one. At home anyway. Lenore never played the free woman role when she went to live with you but if she decides to become a slave girl again, every one of the girls will expect her to embrace the position. And they will treat her as such." Sarah said.
"When Sarah brings Ginger out here to be a slave on occasion, Ginger has to present herself as an uncollared slave to the group. It is kind of a little ritual. It defines her position on a visit. Sometimes she is allowed to be a free woman when she visits but not often." Lou explained. Wanda walked up to join the conversation."Of course you can opt to let Lenore out of it. You can always put your foot down and make a command decision."
"No. If Lenore chooses to submit to Sherrie, I will go along and let her live with the ramifications...ALL of them." I said. The three women smiled their approval.
"Good. " Wanda said. "I've already decided they must be professional in the office. But what they do during their lunch time or before or after work is their business. I'll watch the show."
"Lenore told me you offered to send her to her desk without panties the other day." I said with a slight smile I could not conceal at the image.
"She was whining." Wanda shrugged. "I didn't bother to tell her her butt would have not only been bare but sore. She knew exactly what I meant to do."
"So you do not care if she wins or loses her challenge with Sherrie." I observed
