"While you're here, we'll be setting up some ground rules," Colin said to his new 'slave' after settling into a comfortable sitting position. "Rule number one: you will call me master."
Save for an almost undetectable snort, Ria's glare did not waver.
Colin raised his eyebrows, and unknown to Ria, his hand was quickly approaching her leg.
By the time she felt his touch near her ankle, she flailed out, but was too late to stop her unnaturally strong 'enslaver' from clutching it and digging his thumb into a sensitive part, making her exclaim more out of surprise than in pain.
"Am I clear?" Colin grunted through gritted teeth.
Ria nodded, tears welling up in her eyes, and forced herself to say, "Y-yes."
"Yes, what?" Colin hissed, tightening his grip, and Ria howled. It took her an excruciating moment to murmur between sobs, "Yes...mas...ter."
"That's better," Colin let go of her ankle, and Ria resisted the urge to massage the paining areas. She wasn't sure he would take to it kindly. "Now," he continued, "rule number 2, you will obey my orders without question. Am I clear?"
Colin waited for a reply, but when none came, he growled and his hand flew out. Beyond frightened, Ria exclaimed, curling into a ball to protect herself, "Yes, master!!"
His hand stopped an inch from her wrist before it was withdrawn by its owner.
"Rule number three, you will speak only when asked to, and when spoken to, I expect an answer."
"Yes...master."
"Rule four...forget about rule four for now. Stand up."
Ria stood up slowly, but immediately faltered and toppled over as her leg screamed foul protests. She gasped and lay on her side, stunned.
Colin shook his head, muttered something that sounded like, "if only her ego had let her listen to me," and began to massage the area as gently as he could.
Ria stared at him with disbelief. Only moments ago he had been commanding her and attempting to torture her. Yet here he was now, trying to mend the results of his actions...
She could not understand him.
"You're in no shape to start your work today...whatever. Take a day off."
Ria sat up straight and looked at Colin thankfully, but he seemed not to notice.
'What a fate. I hoped for someone to take me away so that I wouldn't have to write my examinations...and this is what I end up in.'
---------
Ria decided to be awake before Colin came to check on her in order to avoid being rapped again.
She still ended up receiving a sharp welcome slap on her other cheek, and she swore she heard something crack.
"Morning, sunshine," Colin muttered as Ria's eyelids flickered while she adjusted to the unusually bright room.
"Good...morning," Ria mumbled in reply, barely able to open her eyes after getting used to the darkness in the room. Candles, she decided, were not very effective ways of lighting up a place.
"Good morning what?"
Ria sighed inwardly, remembering the conditions of her new life, and replied with a little more energy in order to sound enthusiastic and ensure a good day, "Good morning, master."
She almost choked on the last word.
Colin nodded. "I like to see people full of energy when they wake up in the daylight. Except that there's no daylight here, but even so..."
Ria agreed silently.
"Not that it matters at the moment," he continued. "I think you'll be glad to know you're finally getting out of this room."
Her eyes opened wide for a moment, but went back when he continued with a chuckle, "Not out of this place, though."
Ria stood up, realizing at the back of her mind that her ankle didn't pain anymore, and allowed herself to be led outside by Colin.
The first impression that struck her was 'white'.
Then, other colors began coming into view.
"Welcome to your new home," Colin murmured, and Ria wondered if she had somehow been married to the person who had decided to enslave her for god-knows-what reason.
She immediately discounted the thought.
Ria decided to digest as much as she could of her surroundings before nodding. She knew she wouldn't take it all in one go, and besides, there'd be enough time to explore later. She had a feeling that she wouldn't be leaving this place.
As her eyes wandered, she noticed a door with chains on it. Colin seemed to grasp her curiosity and said, "That's where I keep most of my torture instruments," with a wide grin on his face. Ria shuddered visibly and Colin continued, his smile not reducing in size, "Don't worry, I won't be using them on you."
He stopped, then added in a softer tone along with a grin mixed with tons of slyness and, Ria assumed, a hint of lewdness, "Not yet, anyway."
They continued down the passageway, Colin pointing out each and every room. After they had finished, Colin gestured towards a sofa at the center of the floor and Ria sat down as stiffly as she could.
Colin made himself comfortable on another sofa before starting, "I suppose you're wondering what you're doing here. I've answered that question, but only vaguely, and I suppose you need a full description. I'd also like to know more about you, so that I can get you used to your place."
Ria nodded, even though she was afraid of what she might be subjected to.
"Let's start. I gave you my name, but you never told me yours."
"Ria," she replied silently.
"Ria...a nice name indeed. Of course, I will be using the word 'slave' more, but don't take offence: the name really suits you."
Ria nodded silently in response.
"Now, for the fun part. Though these questions may be fun only for me and may prove awkward and beyond embarrassing," Colin said and paused, both for a breath and to brace himself for the deluge of expressions that would come from the pretty teenage girl sitting opposite to him, before continuing. "Are you a virgin?"
Ria looked at Colin with an expression of incredulity before replying, "Yes...master."
She realized that in her shock she had almost forgotten the honorific that had been imposed on her speaking.
"Hmm..." Colin said thoughtfully. He liked that he wasn't the only one and allowed himself to take solace in the fact that there was another person in his room who had never fucked or been fucked before, despite having faced sexual arousal an endless number of times.
