Scarlett began to untangle herself as water cascaded around while I came down from the high of one of the most explosive orgasms of my life. I turned to face Scarlett and felt like pinching myself at how such a stunning woman was my bound slave as she smiled back at me.
"If only my trainers could see me now...you have no idea how many punishments I had before they were able to teach me to do that," Scarlett chuckled to herself sardonically.
I cringed at her comment as I stepped out from under the water reaching out to take her hand.
"Oh Scarlett, that blew my mind but I don't want you to bring back terrible memories of your training just to pleasure me."
"No, no, Master, I wanted to do that. It's not like you forced me and I shared in your pleasure...my trainers were bastards but they knew what they were doing?"
I did agree but I didn't really know how to respond so instead picked up the soap as she gave me an inquisitive look while I reached towards her.
"Master, you really shouldn't...," Scarlett began but I cut her off by taking her shoulder and turning her around and then proceeding to lather the soap all over her body. She was initially tense but as I focused on kneading her neck and back she began to moan in appreciation. I was hesitant to touch her folds but she took the opportunity to direct my soap covered hands between her legs as she guided my touch as I sought to return her gift to me. Our play only ended when the water came to an abrupt end which prompted Scarlett to jump out of the tub, dripping water everywhere, to grab the fluffy towels I'd left nearby.
She first wrapped herself before bringing one over to me and proceeding to rub me dry as I stepped out of the tub. If it hadn't been for my recent orgasm, I'm not sure I could have withstood her naughty touches as she paid far too much attention to my crotch. I offered to reciprocate but she just smiled pointing at her soaked hair and I realised that I was quite out of my depth.
"I'll need some time to get this all wrapped properly," she told me.
I made my way back into the bedroom and found some fresh clothes to wear. I wanted to see if Scarlett had anything appropriate to wear to meet Emily so decided to see if I could find anything in her chest while she was busy. As I dug through piles of neatly stacked clothes I soon uncovered a folder evidently secreted away. I took what I presumed to be her Slave file over to the bed and opened it out looking to see if I could find anything about her background. I skimmed over her meticulously detailed training history planning on returning to that before I found what seemed to be a personal file but was shocked immediately by the details of Slave IK-55094 right at the top of the page.
***
Name: Natalia Sevastra
Age: 20
Birthplace: Vladisberg, Ikania
***
I felt shock and betrayal at the realization that Scarlett or 'Natalia' had clearly been lying to me. As I grew increasing worried about just who I had bound to me I knew I needed to confront her to find out the truth. Worrying that she would feel my worry I began to examine my wrist band and realizing that it had no obvious controls used my magic to probe it. I soon found a sense of the controls I'd used before and in no time switched off the connection between us with nothing more than a thought.
A few moments later Scarlett popped her head around the door apprehensively dressed in a silk robe with her hair still damp and dropping down her back.
"Master, what's wrong? I can't sense you anymore," she asked quietly.
I'd placed myself in an armchair and looked straight at her as she came into the room.
"Come here, remove your robe and kneel before me," I ordered formally.
A look of worry flittered across her face as she rushed to comply. In no time she had stripped to just the thong she'd been wearing earlier and placed herself before me.
"Master, is everything ok?" she asked again nervously with her hands holding her elbows behind her back and her breasts distracting me once more.
I switched to Ikanian, "Would you care to explain to me why you lied about who you are, Natalia?"
She looked at me a little bemused before hearing the name at the end of the sentence, as she did so her face changed from a nervous to a fearful expression.
"Please Master, it's not what you think, my name is Scarlett!" she replied in Volantian.
"Please don't lie to me," I whispered forcefully as I felt my heart lurch from her duplicity.
"What am I supposed to believe, your file says you are for Ikania but you don't seem to understand Ikanian but speak Ravian like a native," I stated more calmly in Ravian.
She looked shocked at my perfect Ravian as tears came to her eyes.
"Please Master, I can explain," she replied desperately in lyrical Ravian, "you heard me speaking with Laura earlier didn't you?"
"Of course, I did, we've committed our lives to each other and now I find out that everything you told me so far has been a lie. What else are you keeping from me?"
She burst into tears as she tried to stand to reach for me but I stood and walked back from her as she reached out desperately before dropping back down.
"Please Master," she cried out switching back to my native tongue, "my real name is Scarlett I didn't lie to you."
"How can I trust that, who are you? Where are you from?" I asked feeling increasingly hurt.
"Master, I am your slave, it doesn't matter who I was, please it will change everything."
I began to grow frustrated again but Scarlett seemed to have decided to take a different tact as she crawled towards me flirtatiously. She smiled up at me as she ran her hand over my crotch and taking a grip of my cock.
"What are you doing?" I asked her as shivers went up my back.
"I'm serving my Master," she replied seductively.
"No, you are doing what you did earlier and trying to distract me," I replied before I took hold of her wrists holding her hands away from my crotch.
"Please Master, just let me be your Slave," she replied as she pulled against my grip.
My frustration got the better of me as I jumped up and pulled her hands behind her back securing them with the concubine cuffs.
She looked up at me innocently as she pulled against her restraints.
"Scarlett, one way or another you are going to tell me the truth. Are you originally from Ravia?"
She looked at me pleadingly but stayed silent.
I felt a wave of guilt rush over me at her look of innocent fear and how I had been treating her and felt my anger deflate instantly.
I sat back down feeling defeated, "Scarlett if you won't tell me then I can't force you. But I need some time alone to think things through, I'll get Laura to take you down to the ship's slave quarters."
"Nooo," she wailed, "please don't send me away, if anyone finds out they'll kill me, that's why I can't tell you."
I was shocked at what she said, "Why would anyone want to kill you?"
"I can't say. It's safer if you don't know."
"Scarlett, we are in this together, we're bonded now but I need you to trust me, I need you to tell me the truth, I want to hear your story," I said as I moved compassionately towards her bound and slumped form drawing her up into a hug.
As I did so she moved under my arm and against my side.
"Please Master, I'm scared. I need to feel you. Please let me feel you again," she whispered into my chest.
I complied with her request and took the opportunity to open up the link both ways as I she noticeably relaxed as she began to feel me again. I felt her fear and concern through the bond and drew her in tighter. I took the opportunity with her so close to lift her damp hair off her neck to reveal the back of the collar as well as her slave tattoo's which matched those on her forearm as well.
"How is it that your tattooed ID matches to the name Natalia?"
She stayed silent just looking at me with heartbroken innocence so I took her by the arm and led her over to the bed where I peeled back the covers and she moved past me to climb in awkwardly and gave me a vulnerable look until I'd joined her. Once I'd settled and propped myself against the headboard, she slid up next to me and snuggled up against my chest.
I reached along the open connection and felt her growing fear. I started stroking her hair as I wrapped my arm around her.
"Calm down, I'm here, I've got you, you don't need to be so scared. Do you want me to release your wrists?"
She didn't respond but eventually began to settle snuggling against my chest and I was surprised to find a sense of calm come from her.
"So tell me, who are you really?" I then asked as tenderly as I could.
"I am Scarlett, but I've been hiding as Natalia for seven years Master," she quietly said, "You are the first person I told my real name to since I was tattooed. I gave up trying to pretend after I was black listed, but my name was Scarlett before I became a slave."
"So, you were once free? Why did you need to hide? How did you become a slave?" I rushed out.
"Please Master, knowing will make things more complicated."
"Scarlett...," I replied giving her a slightly exasperated look.
She gave a little sigh before starting, "I am from Ravia and was captured after the capital fell during the Ravian War for ransom. We were supposed to be returned after the peace terms were agreed but the King decided to punish our families by keeping some of the girls as trophy slaves," she explained with a strained voice.
I stayed quiet, troubled by the barbaric practices of my own Uncle.
