Part ThreeâHouse Rules
Morning came early for Wendy, as it turned out. I had a business meeting downtown at nine, and I wanted to be sure that Wendy understood the rules before I left, otherwise sheâd find herself right back in the restraints in no time. I didnât really want that. Sure, I got off on it. Almost any straight male would, and so would a lot of women out there, whether anyone cared to admit it or not. But I wasnât really running an S/M house here, unless it was specifically requested, of course.
No, Iâd paid a lot of money for Wendy, and I was hoping to bring her around to my way of thinking a little more gently. After all, if Iâd wanted a cheap piece of ass to use up and throw away, I could have had it for the price of some crack or heroin, and an hour or two cruising the streets in a big city. No, abuse for its own sake was not my game, and I wanted to be sure Wendy didnât earn any more of it while I was gone for the day.
So at seven oâclock, showered, shaved, and dressed in yet another of my impeccable Armani suits, I entered the bathroom of the Rose suite. Wendy was still hanging there, of course. Iâm not sure if she was dozing or unconscious. Either way, she was unaware of me as I released the cuffs on her ankles. She didnât react until I wrapped the thick bath sheet Iâd picked up around her torso. I felt her tense up as I wrapped my arm around her waist firmly from behind, to support her as I released the restraints holding her arms above her head.
I spoke into her ear. âWendy, just relax. Iâm going to release you, and Iâm going to carry you into the next room and put you on the bed, because I donât think youâll be able to walk. Then Iâm going to explain the house rules to you so that you wonât get into any trouble while Iâm gone today.â I was as gentle as possible. Not only was Wendy valuable merchandise, but I figured that after Juanaâs unfortunate (but necessary) brutality, a little bit of my âgood copâ persona would go a very, very long way with Wendy.
I settled Wendy on the bed, where she immediately curled into a semi-fetal position on her side. She wasnât crying, which was a good sign, or maybe she was just dehydrated. I hit the intercom toggle. âBrian, send breakfast to the Rose suite around noon. Lots of liquids, nothing too heavy. Our new girl hasnât eaten or had anything to drink since yesterday sometime.â I didnât wait for an answer. There was always someone manning the kitchen between five am and midnight or so.
Instead I settled myself in a chair next to the king size bed, which was a feminine-looking, net-canopied affair, complete with rose silk duvet and gold brocade throw pillows. Every woman who used this room came to love it. Wendy hadnât even noticed it yet, which was surprising to me. Usually poor girls had quite a hunger for material objects, and I was hoping Wendyâs lack of interest didnât mean she was one of those religious freaks who disdained all the worldly comforts. All things considered, it was a distinct possibility, although I wasnât too worried. Iâve always loved a challenge, which is why Iâm so successful.
âWendy, are you listening? If you are, I want you to tell me why you think youâre here. You can speak freely without any fear of punishment.â I needed to know just what level of innocence I was dealing with. She took her time to answer, sneaking looks at me beneath those long brown lashes. I was startled all over again by the bright turquoise of her eyes.
Finally she answered. âI think you must be my punishment from God. I didnât want to get married. I wanted to go to college. So God has punished me by making me into a slave. Iâll probably have to be some sort of harlot. Iâll go to hell and itâs my own fault for not honoring my father and for rebelling against his wishes.â
This was an interesting viewpoint, but at least she had a firm grasp of the essential facts. It was more than Iâd expected. And she wasnât hysterical, although maybe she was just too tired to manage it. âThatâs correct, in a way. Although I hope in time youâll come to see that this is not a punishment from God. But youâre right that Iâve bought you to be one of my âharlots,â although I would like you to use the term âladiesâ instead. There is no shame in prostitution, although you may have trouble accepting that right now. And although I expect you to pay back the money I spend on you, once thatâs done you may go free.â
âIf you do well here, you may even be able to attend college classes during the day, even before you have paid me back. In fact, I require it, once I am sure I can trust you. You see, I have no serious interest in ignorant slaves, nor do my friends who spend their nights here. We prefer cultured, intelligent women who love every aspect of sexuality just as much as we do ourselves, and who fuck us completely willingly.â Wendy flinched at the profanity, but sheâd get used to it soon enough. After what sheâd just been through, I was surprised she had even reacted. Clearly, she was very sensitive. But I figured Iâd forge ahead while I had her attention.
âThatâs the broad overview. Now, down to the specifics. It is possible to run away from here. Itâs been done. But itâs no use going to the local police. In fact, theyâre regular guests here, and if they pick you up, theyâll return you to me. They certainly wonât be filing any charges against me. The best you can hope for, if you leave, is to end up in a shelter, on Welfare. I hope you wonât try it. Itâs really quite pleasant here, especially compared to that life.â
âAs far as day-to-day existence for you right now, I want you to understand two things. First of all, any disobedience will be severely punished, as you have already learned. Secondly, you will more or less set your own pace in your sexual education, which I will personally oversee. Nobody will ask you to do anything that you havenât already done with me, nor will they help you experiment without my permission. They know I have a taste for being the first, you see. And I trust everyone here completely. So you are safe sexually until you choose to try something, with me.â
âHowever, there will be no attempt to shield you from reality. You may expect to see, hear, and smell sex all around you, at any moment of the day, as you go through your duties. Even in the kitchen, which is where youâll be assigned to work during your training period. Everyone works here, you see. Especially if theyâre not contributing to the actual business, all my ladies are expected to assist with the housekeeping. So even if nobody touches you, you will be learning every moment what is expected of you.â
