Charlotte had asked if we could stop at the Slave Shop on the way to my house. I was totally agreeable. There was no time like the present to buy a few needed supplies.
The manager recognized me as soon as I entered and addressed me by name. "Ahh, Bas Landry! Good to see you, again. It has been a while. Your head girl has been in a few times. What can I do for you today?"
"This is Charlotte Applegate. She just acquired a couple slaves and needs chargers for their collars. Plus I think she wants to take a look at some of your disciplinary tools. I need a few things myself. Another chastity belt, and some slave cleanout for sure." I said. Lana's expression of horror was amusing. She must be familiar with slave cleanout or maybe she was worried about my intentions for the chastity belt. "Do you sell hair growth inhibitor or do I need to get that from a salon?" Lana's whimper was audible.
She began nervously twirling the ends of her long locks. Both Lana Geri kept their hair about the level of their nipples in front and the bottom of their shoulder blades in back. Her hair was every bit as lush and thick as her daughter's. I suspected part was due to genetics and part dietary supplements and special hair products. But the hair on their heads was obviously extremely important to both women.
The clerk said, "I have some very effective hair inhibitor that rivals that sold anywhere. I have not tried it myself, but reports say it makes the skin siky smooth for about five months. If the chastity belt is for this slave, I can help fitting it." Lana squirmed and could not quite control another whimper when he grinned.
"No. I just put my last available one into use and I need a standby." I answered. "I'll call home to see if we need anything else this trip while you help Charlotte." I stepped away to tell Lenore where we were and an estimate of when we'd be home to give her some time to prepare.
Charlotte had already decided to buy a pair of chastity belts, slave cleanout with a full slave enema kit which meant bigger nozzles, and hair growth inhibitor like me. She was examining paddles and trying to decide whether she preferred the three or four inch width. The lengths were the same. I told her I had the four inch one and I could not see much difference.
"Emma!" the man called. "Come over here!" A short, slightly chubby slave girl leaned her broom against a display and quickly trotted over. "Emma here is on loan from one of my customers. She is being punished for disrespect. Her punishment is to model my punishment and control tools. Her owner hopes the humiliation and discomfort she endures will improve her attitude."
The girl saw the paddles in Charlotte's hand and began to beg. "Please Mr. Bergeron! Those paddles really hurt!" Bergeron told her that was the point. "Only two hits, okay? I've been a good girl. I do everything you tell me to do."
"Emma, you know I told you not to beg or try to talk you way out of it. Now drop your pants, bend over and put your forearms on the seat of that chair like you did before." With a half smile, Bergeron said, "Charlotte, if you will, try each paddle out on her ample backside. Give her a couple stingers with each one. Have you ever swung a paddle like this?" Charlotte shook her head. "Then let me demonstrate." Emma was already sobbing and whimpering in anticipation.
Bergeron demonstrated how to raise the paddle behind and above and as the paddle is swung towards its target, to twist the body for maximum power. He did not hit Emma. He handed the paddle to Charlotte who swung it twice in slow motion. "Now apply it. A paddle like this will be very effective even with your broken arm. Don't worry about the girl. She might not agree but no real damage will be done to her bottom. It will hurt but she deserves it."
Charlotte applied her lessons well. The paddle made a report like a pistol shot. Emma screamed. Her thighs and butt jiggled as she danced in place without standing up. Bergeron beckoned Charlotte to do it again. She did. "Now look at the girl's bottom. Only two swats, and see how red the skin is where you stuck? But no skin is broken. Her butt is burning, I'm sure. Do you want to try it again, or compare it with the other paddle?"
"No I think this four inch wide one will do the job quite nicely." Charlotte reported with a smile. Cindy and Becky shifted their gaze between Emma's bare and now very red bottom and Charlotte. They looked at each other and shuddered.
Bergeron showed her a couple models of collar chargers. Charlotte added them to her growing pile. We finally paid for our purchases and left. I would have liked to ask Charlotte how she felt but it would have been a little inappropriate to tease her especially in front of her girls. She was obviously excited and I surmised already envisioning using the paddle on one or both of her slave girls. I could tell she felt her power.
Charlotte followed me up my drive and parked next to me. My normal parking space was occupied by a car I did not recognize. I had never designated a parking spot but the girls always left the one closest to the front door open for me.
The owner of the vehicle was soon identified when Lenore came out of the house accompanied by her mother and cousin, Marge. I greeted the women and both gave me a hug.
Charlotte had already opened her trunk and pointed at two large plastic trash bags. She ordered Cindy and Becky to take them inside. She did not say a word about what the bags contained but nodded at me. She went inside the house with Lenore followed by her two slaves.
Paige waited for the others to go inside before addressing Lana, who shifted her weight nervously. "Hello, Lana. It is very nice to see you again." Paige said in soft, polite voice. " And I mean that sincerely. It is VERY NICE to see you standing there collared like the slave bitch you now are!" she continued, dropping every semblance of courtesy.
She stepped forward and slapped Lana hard across the face. "That is just a down payment of what I intend for you for what you planned to do to my daughter. I heard all about your plans to video Lenore serving you while on the auxiliary. You are damn lucky Bas hates the Krewe's garden parties. I'd love to take you to one on a leash."
Lana stared back semi-defiantly but not daring to say a word. The tears involuntarily streaming down her face spoke for her. She was frustrated she had to accept the rebuke from a woman she felt beneath her as all women around her were inferior as she'd stated before. I could almost see the wheels turning. She would love to pay Paige back for that slap.
I could tell Marge noticed Lana's expression as well. Her raised eyebrow at me spoke volumes. I shrugged and smiled slightly.
"Let's go inside and you can meet the rest of the family, Lana. I know you barely gave them a second glance the other day," I said. "This is going to be your home for the foreseeable future."
Geri went nuts when Lana followed me inside. She did not notice the collar at first. "Mom!" she screamed and ran across the room to embrace her mother. "Where have you been?" she yelled, and almost revealed she and her mother had been communicating when she saw the shiny metal collar emcompassing Lana's neck. She stopped short. "You got enslaved? What did you do? Oh my God! What will we do now?" She embraced her mother and cried.
