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
âAs I said, you may proceed at your own pace with your training. But itâs only fair to make you aware of the consequences of moving too slowly. Let me explain our financial system here, to you. You are expected to pay back what I paid for you, which was $4,600. You also pay for your room, board, clothing and supplies. Housekeeping work is rewarded at $10 an hour, which seems like a good wage until you realize that your daily bill in a luxurious establishment like this comes to $250 a day. So you see, if youâre not fucking, youâre sinking further and further into debt.â
Wendy looked terrified now. She was sitting up, back against the headboard, and she was listening intently to every word. She didnât seem confused. That was good. Maybe there was a mind under all that religious nonsense. We were almost done with the nitty-gritty details, and I was glad to see I wasnât going to have to repeat myself. I find just explaining it all to be tedious enough.
âNow, if you are fucking, or at least learning, the reality isnât nearly so grim. Even training is paid handsomely, as I have a definite taste for innocent virgins like you. Your first fuck is worth $1000. The first time you come when I fuck you, Iâll credit $2000 towards your account. Your first decent blowjob is another $1000, as is the first time I watch you fuck another woman to orgasm. And when you let me fuck your ass, itâs $3000. There are other, more specialized things that you may also earn bonuses for, if you find you enjoy them during training. Weâll discuss those as they come up.â
âAfter your training, youâll service whoever wants you, to the tune of $500 a night credited to your account.â Never mind what I charge, thatâs how much of it goes to the girls. âSo if you learn quickly and work hard, you can leave here in as little as a month. Although, let me explain that it all has to be completely willing. If youâre not enjoying it, it doesnât count. So if you do manage to get out of debt in a month, youâll be a naturally talented little whore, and I seriously doubt youâll even want to leave.â
I had one more thing to point out, just to put it into perspective for Wendy. âI want you to consider, Wendy, that you would do all these things for a husband, Mormon or not. And a man like your father would have chosen for you, a man like that wouldnât necessarily care about your pleasure. He certainly would not take any precaution to keep you from having baby after baby, year after year, until you were so worn out that all you wanted to do was to crawl into a ditch and die. I think you know that, donât you? Once you can get over your religious objections, I am sure youâll thank me for bringing you here. Now, do you have any questions? You may ask anything you wish.â
âWhat if I never feel ready to do all these sexual things at all? Do I have to stay here forever? I could never pay you back at $10 an hour. I already owe you $4,850 just for today. My beliefs tell me I must honor my obligation, because my father gave me to you. I will try to obey you as I would a husband. But I believe that to do these things, without marriage, is a sin. I donât know if I can do it. Will I be a slave here until I die?â
Wendy was smart. Good. âNo, if you truly are unable to bring yourself to do any of this, after a month, weâll move you to quarters in the attic, and drop your bill down to $40 a day. But youâll be doing heavy housekeeping work, 10 hours a day, six days a week, and you wonât be living in luxury, in fact it will be quite the contrary, although youâll get a dollar raise every six months. So it will be possible, that way, to pay off your indebtedness eventually.â
âHowever, Wendy, I want you to withold judgement about what you believe you can and canât do, for a few days. Help Brian in the kitchen, watch, and learn. For this month, it is expected that you will sleep until noon. Please be in the kitchen helping Brian by 1pm. There is a nightgown in the closet, along with some clothes. You are expected to wear whatever I tell you to, and obey any non-sexual command given to you by anyone in the house.â
