Author's Note: This is one of several short stories in a series called "The Island." All stories take place in the same secret island resort, where women come to serve as sex slaves for a year, under the control of a man known only as "Sir."
All characters are over 18. All places, characters, and stories are completely fictional. Sexual slavery and human trafficking are real, serious problems, and rape and kidnapping are illegal.

The girl stared at me from across the room, blue eyes wide with fear and confusion, blond hair damp with sweat. This first moment, this first meeting, told me a lot about how the year would go. Was she paralyzed by her fear, or motivated? Was she in awe of me, or did she hate me? Would she do anything to please me, or would she fight me at every turn?
"Come in, Emily. Let me see you." My opening line, honed over years of use, with dozens of girls, delivered in an even, unemotional tone. Not meant to frighten, only to invite, to greet.
The girl took several steps forward but stopped short of my desk. Interesting.
Andrew's report ranked her squarely as "mediocre." She'd done everything she was told, but it had taken more coercion than I would have liked. Andrew was frustrated, but not overly so. His comments suggested he was more annoyed with the field agents than with the girl. He indicated that they had not properly prepared her. It was possible. The Midwest agents tended toward lenient. I'd have to have a talk with them before their next assignment.
I waited, gave her a chance to continue forward without prompting. I focused on my screen, rereading her profile, apparently paying her little mind. Emily, Minneapolis, 23 years old, 5'4", 114 pounds, 32B, three partners, limited experience.
It would be quite cold in Minneapolis at this time of year. Arriving on the Island must have been a shock just for the change in temperature.
She took another several steps toward me after just a few seconds of hesitation. Good girl. I smiled at her, pleased.
I gazed openly at her now. Beautiful girl. But then, they all were. Her breasts were perky, with large, pink nipples. She was quite pale, the skin of her stomach nearly translucent, unblemished. Even her pubic hair was light, though darker than the hair on her head. Muscular legs. I glanced at her profile. Track and field in school. Excellent.
Her hands twitched. The girls knew by this point not to bother covering themselves, but most still wanted to.
"Why did you refuse to masturbate on the plane?" I asked.
She swallowed, trembled. I'd caught her off guard. "I - I didn't," she protested.
I leaned back in my chair, adopting a casual pose, hands behind my head. "You were whipped, and then my agent had to put the vibrator in you before you took over. I consider that refusing." I'd enjoyed the video, actually. She'd squirmed under the crop, breasts going from white to red. Bradley had chosen a big vibrator.
Her cheeks reddened, and she opened her mouth to argue. I raised an eyebrow. That was usually enough. She closed her mouth.
"Andrew says you resisted every order. Is there some part of 'do what you're told' that's difficult for you to understand?"
"N - No."
"No, Sir," I corrected.
"Uh. No, Sir."
"Good. My men on the plane went easy on you. I will not be so lenient."
One tear. Only one. She was braver than I expected.
"Yes, Sir," she said.
"Good. Now, have a seat."
She sat in a chair on the other side of my desk, hands between tightly clenched thighs. A familiar pose.
I straightened, rested my forearms on the edge of the desk, leaned forward. Every motion had to be perfectly controlled, planned. The girls would read into anything I did. They would analyze my posture, search my face for clues. "Now, Emily, I have here your sexual history. We have quite a bit of work to do. Clients have many different preferences and desires, and you will fulfill them all. You will spend the next week or two here with me, undergoing intensive training. When your training is complete, you will be available for hire by clients. I will explain exactly how everything works shortly. The most important thing for you to remember is this: I pride myself on providing an environment in which my girls are compliant and willing. If you cannot live up to that standard, you will be punished. If after punishment, you still cannot live up to that standard, you risk being sent home. If you are sent home, you will receive no compensation. Do you understand?" It was best to dive right in, while they were still reeling, wondering what I was going to do.
She hesitated just long enough that I thought I might have to repeat myself. Then, finally, "Yes, Sir." Quiet but clear. We were making progress.
"Andrew told you about the hormone shots, correct?"
She was startled by the change of direction. Keep them guessing.
"Um, yes, Sir?"
"We'll start with that. Then you will be punished for your disobedience."
She'd been waiting for that. I watched her eyes dart around the room, wondering how and where I would punish her, wondering how much it would hurt. I took the injection supplies from my desk drawer, letting my words sink in.
The shot was the easy part. She hardly flinched. "Good," I said. Praise was important. "You'll have a shot every three months and take a pregnancy test every six weeks. Now, follow me." With more cooperative girls, I allowed more conversation, but with this one, I'd need to strike while she was still processing everything.
I started toward the training room without looking at her. I was interested to see whether she would come without prompting. I didn't quite have a read on her yet. I would soon.
Shuffling footsteps behind me. Excellent. I opened the door to the training room and stepped aside, letting her have a first glimpse. She halted just inside, gazing around in bewilderment and fear, eyes lingering on the suspension hook, the frame, the benches. Still so much fear. But she was inside. I moved up behind her and shut the door.
