This story takes place in the year 2029. America is a very different place. New laws have abolished personal bankruptcies and debtors' prisons have been revived. Janie, our twentysomething heroine, was about to be sentenced to just such a prison when she was tricked into signing up for a pilot program that keeps her in a kind of chemical captivity. Medicine released within her body causes debilitating nausea and other symptoms every 48 hours, unless she is administered a rescue dose of another medicine. The rescue dose is delivered through the ejaculation of the man for whom she will be a personal domestic servant, a latter-day concubine. In this episode, Janie's concubinage takes on a decidedly submissive tone, and no one is more surprised than Janie at how much she enjoys it.

"Janie, I need you to attend my bath."
"Hello. Here's a different angle," I said to myself, even as I felt the humid, hairy cavern between my legs grow suddenly very moist. What does it mean to "attend" a bath? Where I come from, a party is what you attend. Or a concert. Or a college class. Never a bath.
Another text followed hard on the heels of that one: "Wear your collar. Nothing else."
I smiled. So this is what it's come to. In little more than a month, I've gone from an independent-minded working girl, struggling to make her own way in the big city, to an erotic version of one of Pavlov's dogs. The virtual bell rings, and my cunt starts to drip. Go figure.
A word like "cunt" would have seldom entered my mind, in days gone by -- unless it was part of some rest-room graffiti I'd idly read while sitting on the john, balled-up toilet paper in hand, or an insult I'd heard some man mutter under his breath. I always thought it an especially vulgar shard of vocabulary. Now, it was fast become one of my anatomical terms of choice. My master, Richard Balfour, didn't teach me to use it. It seemed to well up from my very being, as my sexual servitude grew deeper.
"Cunt" is a word tailor-made for women like me. Not that I consider myself "a cunt" -- that's a truly demeaning expression I don't think I'll ever get comfortable with -- but it does evoke the image of a body part exquisitely designed, complete with its own efficient lubrication system, for sheathing an erect cock. ("Cock" isn't a word I would have used much in my former life, either, but things do change when your entire body has become the playground of hormones, aphrodisiacs, and God knows what else Halliburton has mixed up, shaken and poured out into that blessed chemical cocktail.)
Without a word, I began to walk towards the cedar closet, the one whose concealed inner door opened into my master's closet.
As I walked, I began to shed my clothing. First, the Hooters t-shirt -- a little joke of Gilpin, the butler, who had helped stock my wardrobe, and was one of the few members of the household staff who knew my work as the boss' gal Friday came "with benefits."
Then, the lacy black bra.
Then, I unsnapped my pair of hip-hugging denim pedal-pushers, stopping for a moment to wiggle my tight little butt out of them. There I let 'em lie, right in the middle of the carpet.
I stepped out of the flip-flops on my feet.
Finally, I hooked two thumbs inside my tighty-whitey panties and, in a practiced gesture, pulled them down to my knees, stepping out of them as well.
By the time I'd done this, I was in front of the closet door. Opening it, I flipped on the light and stepped inside. Reaching up to a high shelf, I found the dog collar and buckled it around my neck. Thus clad -- or unclad -- I felt ready for my session of bath-attendance, whatever that meant.
As I pushed the hanging clothing aside and opened the door into Mr. Balfour's expansive bedroom -- which was more like some grand apartment, entire unto itself -- I saw Himself sitting at the computer desk, talking on his cell phone.
He raised his eyebrows a little, at the sound of the opening door, and glanced up at me for just a moment, before looking down again at his work. He waved his arm in a vague gesture, directing me to his private bathroom.
As I walked away from him towards the bathroom door, I could feel his eyes on my back -- or, my backside, to be more precise. I gave those rounded cheeks of mine a little extra swing, as I leisurely strolled away from him. Nothing too obvious. Just a slight flourish, to distract him from that phone call that was so important, it had intruded on his personal nookie-time.
I knew he was watching, that old horn-dog.
That's OK, I thought to myself. I wasn't ready for him, anyway. Even with its state-of-the-plumber's-art pumps and jets, that huge, marble tub took a fair amount of time to fill.
Which is exactly what I did next: turning on the gold-plated taps, testing the water temperature, selecting something very special from the array of bath-salts bottles and jars arrayed on the shelf, lighting a scented candle or two. A touch-panel on the wall let me choose from a series of music playlists especially chosen -- by Gilpin? By a former wife or lover? By Balfour himself? -- to enhance the Chairman's bathing experience.
I sat my cheeks down on a small bench, my spine erect, both feet flat on the floor, my hands folded in my lap. Like I was perched on a settee at some old-fashioned girls' finishing-school, except for the fact that I was wearing not a stitch of clothing and was sporting a dog-collar around my neck.
I didn't have to wait long. I like to think it was the soft curve of my buttocks, the tight muscles of the back of my thighs, the wiry wisp of pubic hair he could just glimpse, hanging down between them, that had caused his dick to rise, that had enticed him to wrap up his phone call and hustle that athletic, fiftysomething bod of his into the bathroom and fuck me.
If that, was, indeed, what "attending" his bath meant. I would soon find out.
Balfour came in, wearing the white terrycloth bathrobe he favored for everyday use. He was all business. Dropping his robe, he walked over to the tub, flaccid dick swinging from side to side, and stepped in, walking down the sunken steps until he'd immersed himself in the warm, soapy water. He slid over to a place where he could sit back against the side of the tub, resting his head on a folded towel I had placed there for his comfort.
Comfort. That was what I was all about, in this new life of mine. I understand the Japanese used to run brothels for their soldiers in captured territories, during the Second World War. They called the local women they forced to work there "comfort girls." I knew that, if I kept Richard Balfour's personal comfort -- his very personal comfort -- as my first priority, everything would be copacetic. He'd get his rocks off, and I'd get a regular injection of the chemically-enhanced semen I craved, delivered into one bodily orifice or another (it mattered not which, from the standpoint of the high I'd receive, though I had developed a certain fascination, of late, with long, sloppy, leisurely acts of fellatio).
"Is the water temperature to your satisfaction, my Lord?" (I'd started using the "Lord" appellation a few days before, when he and I were alone together, and he hadn't corrected me. I think he secretly liked its old-school subservience.)
"Yes, Janie, you do that so well. You do many things so very well. Things that matter a lot to me." He shot me a little smile.
I smiled back, and felt a flush rise to my cheeks, like some blushing schoolgirl on her first date. Whatever chemicals those were, pumping through my veins, they ramped up the personal bond between Richard and me to no end. They truly made me desire nothing more than to please him.
"Come," he said, beckoning with one finger.
I stepped into the softly-bubbling water, descending the steps. I stumbled a little on the last one, causing my large, natural tits to swing from side to side as I struggled to regain my balance.
They weren't a young, nubile girl's breasts. To be perfectly frank, they sagged a bit, and the right one was a little larger than the left, if you truly scrutinized them. As Richard most certainly had, not long after I'd come into his employ. But he confessed to me, one evening when his faced was buried between my two dear girls, that he preferred them that way.
