Three weeks later, Eve came to pick me up from the poledance classes I'd been enrolled in. She watched as I and the other male slaves danced and gyrated, completely on show through the glass-fronted building that housed the academy. Hailey wanted to enter me into some amateur competitions -- I had no hope of winning, but I went along with it happily enough.
Spinning around the pole was the most liberating thing I'd ever done. The first time, in the club, the euphoria was down to the drugs my owners gave me, but in the classes it just came from the feeling of release. I was getting pretty good, flowing between the different positions, throwing myself into it, unlocking all the tension I usually carried in my body. Hailey had had a pole put in her room and I sent her into frenzies of lust with some teasing dances. She spanked me for the tease, but it was all part of the game -- it seemed to bring us closer than we'd been before.
When the class was finished, after a little applause, Eve locked my cock back up and leashed me, leading me along after her into an unfamiliar part of town. We'd partied all over Galos, taking in all kinds of clubs at night and unwinding on its beaches by day. Every so often, Eve took me to an art gallery or a museum, and we discussed what we'd seen over lunch. Hailey mostly went shopping rather than come with us, occasionally renting out a female slave so she could have some girly fun that way.
"Mistress?" I said, worried by the unfamiliar surroundings.
"Yes, slave?"
"May I ask where we are going?"
"You may. It's mandatory for you to have a medical once every six weeks. That's where we're going."
"Thank you, mistress," I said, relieved. I had nightmares where Eve suddenly sold me, and the slave markets were in this area somewhere. It made sense that slave medicals would happen around here too.
Slave medical centres are a little different from your average hospital. Like normal, this one had a large, gleaming white interior with nurses, doctors and porters going about their business. The building covered half the block, with all kinds of services on offer. There were different challenges in keeping different kinds of slaves healthy -- ponyboys and ponygirls needed footcare and muscle building, petmales and petgirls needed careful adjustments of the spine, while service slaves like me could need anything from branding to plastic surgery.
Eve took me to the reception and had them scan my barcode -- we were directed to a general waiting area in the main reception. It looked like I wouldn't need any of the clinic's more specialised services. I could see that none of the doctors were slaves, but a few of the more junior staff were -- men and women both. They wore clean medical uniforms but were collared and wore transparent skirts or trousers. Security guards stood here and there, keeping a wary eye on slaves like me -- patients who might protest if it turned out our appointment was for something unexpected.
Two such patients had been chained to eyebolts in the floor, their legs and arms shackled tight together. The slaveboy and slavegirl were both pale-skinned, with long dark hair and green eyes. They were pleading with their owner -- a temporary one, it seemed -- not to go through with the procedure she had planned for them.
"But mistress, please," said the girl, "I don't want to be a petgirl."
"You've got six weeks left on your contract with me and I'll do as I please with you. You never specified no petplay."
"I just didn't think to, mistress!"
"Nonsense, slavegirl. Your psychological profile is clear -- you'll make a fine puppy."
"I'm a human being!"
"You're a slave. My slave. You're doing this one way or the other, and you're already due a spanking for this show of disobedience. I can make it a whipping, every day for a week, if I have to."
"Please, mistress. Please let me at least be able to talk and use my hands!"
"Who ever heard of a petgirl who could do that? No, I've made up my mind. You'll be mitted and have your vocal cords altered. All temporary of course. No more protests -- slavegirl collar: mute."
The slavegirl suddenly found herself unable to talk, as her collar dampened down all the vibrations she tried to make in her throat. It seemed like the next time she heard her voice, the most she'd be able to do with it was bark or whine. My own contract means I can only serve as a fully 'human' service slave -- I didn't want to end up a petmale or ponyboy. The mistress looked down at the slaveboy she owned and tapped her foot.
"Well, slaveboy," she asked, "will you submit willingly?"
"I ... Do you really think I'll make a good pet, mistress?"
"A most excellent one, slaveboy. I'm going to have them lengthen your tongue, mitt your hands and even implant you a tail. Your knees will be altered so you can't stand and your back will be adjusted, just a little, so you can crawl comfortably."
"It's reversible, though, isn't it mistress?"
"Oh of course silly slaveboy. I'm paying upfront to have it all reversed in six weeks. I'd be breaking the law otherwise. Will you submit?"
"I ... will mistress. Will you still use my tongue as a petmale?"
"That's why I'm having it lengthened, slaveboy. You're going to learn all new things to do with it."
"Oh! Thank you, mistress," he replied, grinning now.
His owner muted him too and came and sat down by Eve. She looked me over with an appraising eye, her gaze lingering on my firm buttocks.
"Nice slave," she said, "had him long?"
"A little over a month," said Eve, "and thank you, he's been well worth what we paid for him."
"We?"
"I own him with my sister, half each. He serves us both."
"Which of you does he submit more to?"
"I don't understand. We both own him."
"Yes, but, they can rarely submit equally to two women, it's a very uncommon trait. Does he favour one of you more than the other, obey more readily one than the other?"
Eve looked thoughtful but went silent; the other mistress decided not to press the issue.
"Why are you turning them into pets, if you don't mind the question?" said Eve.
"I want them to be pets and they belong to me. Their psych profiles say they'll do really well as pets, too. I'm doing them a favour -- they'd never have had the courage to try this without me making them, so now they get a few weeks to test out another way of life. Not everyone is so lucky, you know. And I'll take good care of them, don't you worry."
"I never doubted you would. Funny how you see things differently when you own someone."
"It certainly is."
A nurse appeared and called Eve's name, beckoning us to follow her through into the doctor's office. I crawled after her -- she had me on hands and knees again, and knelt down beside her while the doctor looked over my file.
"Standard slave check up?" she asked.
"Yes, please, and then one other thing," said Eve.
"OK, let's get these kneepads off, the gloves too, and please have your slave stand with his feet on the two red marks on the floor. Good boy, yes, just like that. Hands behind your head. Would you please remove his cage?"
I stood on display with an instant erection the moment the chastity cage was removed. The doctor flicked my hard cock, nodding to herself as my reaction met with what she'd expected. She took a quick medical history from Eve -- had I had any problems, how badly had they punished me, what kinds of wounds might I have suffered, how much stress did they put me under, how often did I go without sleep. Eve found some of the questions hard to answer -- she thought Hailey whipped me too much and kept me out too late.
While they were talking, the nurse took measurements with all kinds of instruments, feeding data back into a pad. She checked my body from head to toe, even looking in my mouth and running a finger around my anus. She presented the pad to the doctor then left the room, her part of the process over with. I carried on standing to attention -- I'd not been ordered otherwise.
"Don't worry about how hard you've been whipping him," said the doctor, "he can take it, and the nanites will heal him right as rain. There's no sign of permanent damage. Brain scan looks normal -- healthy and happy, no trauma. In fact he's in better mental health than his last checkups as a free man. Either he's a natural slave, you're doing something right, or his old life was really awful. Whatever you're doing, it's the right thing. Keep it up."
