Grandfather was reasonable in his unreason--he reluctantly allowed us to attend our first semester of college (thus allowing me to keep my spot on the cheerleading squad) before we took a supposed "gap year" in collars. So, there we both were, seven months after high school graduation, being checked into the slave market on a Sunday afternoon in December. (The thought that our family owned the Longhorn made it even more humiliating.) In return for the one-semester delay, Grandfather had deliberately chosen the worst time of the week for us: no new slave grading or auctions would occur until Monday late morning, and in the meantime Sean and I would be just two naked "sluts" (the colloquial term for slaves) at the mercy of the weekend (and therefore probably least supervised, least professional) slave wranglers for whatever games they wanted to play. Good thing I had an IUD and had already lost my hymen...
At least it was warmer when we got inside the lobby, where a semi-circle of check-in stations stood, most of them unmanned at this hour on a weekend. But the humiliation of being naked, collared, bound livestock was reinforced when she led us up to the one active podium and ordered us to "Kneel, slave spread." Normally, that position meant not only widespread thighs but also fingers interlocked behind our heads--but with our hands still bound behind our backs, all we could do was kneel with our backs very straight, which in my case meant thrusting out my D-cup boobs even more. I have always been proud of them as they attracted the attention--and often the admiration--of almost every male who saw me since age 14, including the house slaves. I had even had to strap a household slave who was so mesmerized by my breasts that he didn't hear me give him an order. It felt very different for me to be the one wearing the collar, especially because, without a bra, my girls wobbled everywhere as I moved. In this instance I swear they didn't stop bobbling until 10 seconds after I knelt. Not only that, but the cold weather ensured that my nipples remained at full alert.
Another small mercy was that the person behind the podium was female--I knew that lots of guys were going to look at and probably play with my "girls," especially during the next two days, so I was glad to delay that experience for another few seconds. But this African American woman was intimidating in her own right, and not just because we were nude on our knees and she was looming over us, dressed as a slave wrangler--jeans, boots, and "Long Horn" logo T-shirt, plus an equipment belt festooned with various menacing objects including a taser, quirt, and handcuffs. The slave quirts that I had seen and used on others for years suddenly seemed much more frightening. Not that she would need these weapons with me--I was bound and besides, she was huge. Not an ounce of fat on her, but just BIG. She towered over Mistress Belle, and was probably taller than Sean even if he hadn't been on his knees looking up, his half-erect dick hanging out where she could easily kick it. The woman--whose nametag read "Florence"--was well-muscled and her body--well, let's just say that her chest was larger than mine, although proportionate to her form. Not surprisingly, she exuded self-confidence and control as she grinned down at us:
"Well, what do we have here? A matched pair of fresh-caught slaves?" she inquired in amused voice. Her eyes swept past my breasts (and erect nipples) and came to rest on Sean's cock. "Lookin' good, sweetie," she remarked, winking and obviously ogling that prick (I assure you I had NEVER wanted to see my brother's package, especially when it was erect--eeuuhh--but I had to admit it looked bigger than the two guys I had sucked off since turning 18.) Wordlessly, Mistress Belle handed "Florence" the notarized powers of attorney that authorized her to sell us into slavery--with minimal restrictions such as "No foreign travel"--for the next 365 days.
Florence glanced through them, then looked hard at our temporary mistress. "I've seen things like this before--did these two screw up big time, or what?" Belle didn't answer, but her face seemed to agree with the comment.
The Black wrangler fiddled around with some electronics, apparently scanning the documents into PDFs, and then returned them to Mistress Belle. She must have pushed a button to summon help, because a moment later two wranglers came through the double doors behind her. One was a Caucasian copy, almost a photographic negative, of Florence, a tall, smiling, pink-skinned woman wearing a nametag that read "Willow"; she headed towards Sean and replaced the dog collar with a heavier one that I knew must be the battery-powered shock collar used by most slave markets--as if they needed more control over us!
I only registered that later on, because my heart was sinking through the floor when I recognized the six-foot, surprisingly-weedy looking guy behind "Florence." Jerry had been in my high school class until a few months ago--a studious type with whom I'd had little interaction. I hadn't insulted him so much as ignored him, focusing instead on better looking (but dumber) guys who majored in sports rather than academics. Damn! Going to a slave market 40 miles from home, I had hoped that my brother and I could get through the ordeal of processing--which was bad enough even when conducted by strangers--without meeting anyone we knew. Just my luck to fall into the hands of the class nerd! He HAD to recognize me, I thought, even naked on my knees, but he just gave a little smile while he changed out my collar and substituted leather manacles for the zip-tie. I was shaking and humiliated (not to mention aroused for some reason, warm wetness between my thighs), and only barely registered the standard warning he was reciting:
"... the collar you are wearing can deliver a powerful and extremely painful electric shock if you attempt to leave this building without permission. Additionally, all Long Horn employees are authorized to use any means deemed necessary to compel you to comply with all orders given to you, and those means include electrical shock and whipping. If you follow my instructions you will not be hurt. Do you understand?"
I was glad to remember (who knew that a high school class could be useful?) that slaves weren't supposed to look at masters' faces without specific instructions, so instead I stared at the floor, nodded my head, and loudly announced "Yes, Master" when he asked that final question. A moment later, he had ordered me to stand and then guided me through the swinging doors. I was acutely aware of his warm hand gripping my left buttock, his fingers deep inside my crack and brushing against my cringing anus. This was going to be even worse than I had thought--so why were my damn nipples still sticking out? I won't even talk about the dampness and tension between my legs at the thought of this suddenly-powerful guy being in total control of my bare, bound body.
I could hear Sean walking behind us as we all headed to the "Veterinary" station, where I got restrained on my back in a Frankenstein version of an OB/GYN's table--there was an indentation for my bound hands, plus the dreaded stirrups (with Velcro straps attached) holding my legs up high and FAARRR apart. The guy who examined me wore a lab coat, but his nametag did not say anything about being a physician--guess that wasn't necessary on the weekend, when sales weren't imminent. Which didn't stop this wannabee slave veterinarian--probably an EMT--from fishing around inside me with the traditional cold speculum as well as his fingers. (Why did my damn birth canal get excited and self-lubricate?) At least he knew enough to recognize that I had an IUD; I had been prepared to protest (not that it would have done any good) if he tried to give me the birth control implant that slaves usually received. He did take some blood and proclaimed me free of known STDs (Duuh), which didn't guarantee that I might not end up getting one as a slave. One more thought to terrify me.
After that came the next stage to dread--getting a slave identification number (SIN) tattooed inside my lower lip. Again, the person doing the tattooing looked very young but at least it didn't hurt too much--a quick spray of anaesthetic, then a humming machine that felt like a thousand pinpricks, another spray of antibiotic, and I was done.
By this time I had almost--not quite--become accustomed to Jerry-the-nerd squeezing and goosing my butt, an act that even yesterday would have earned him a slap and an arrest for sexual assault. Now he was getting PAID to do something that hundreds of guys in my high school had dreamed about (I hate to sound arrogant, but Sean had told me that at least twice he'd decked guys for expressing a desire to grab my ass!) I decided that the best thing for me to do was pretend I couldn't feel it or at least didn't notice it--any kind of wiggle or protest was likely to get me even more fondling, not to mention increasing the chance that he recognized me. Besides, it felt kinda good to be controlled like that.
