My Dear Readers,
Disclaimer:
What I write is fiction/fantasy/fairy tales for adults. None of my characters are real, no one was injured during the production of my stories and just like on T.V., they all get up when the scene is over, have a beer, remove the makeup and go home, ready to return in the next chapter, all the boo boos healed.
Votes and comments are as always gratefully received. E-mail will get a personnel response if you remember to leave me a return e-mail address.
Enjoy.

Chapter nine: September Morning
I am sitting in a cold drafty barn, my butt freezing on the thin layer of straw barely covering the rough hewn boards that make up the floor. At least I'm dressed in a winter coat; the girl hanging from the rafters in a small iron cage is naked except for the dirt, excrement and other filth that covers her shivering body. A portable gas heater is pointed at the cage and is probably heating the bars to an uncomfortable degree, but only on one side, the rest of the cage is open to the cold blasts of air that swirl through the old structure. It is only the first week of September and while the days get into the eighties at night the temperature plummets below fifty. Fall is here and winter is not far behind.
I can't see her face due to the rough hemp bag tied over her head but I can remember her smile and the way her eyes would light up when she was up to some mischief. I remember her tanned and toned body glistening with oil and water as she rose from the pool, wet hair flung back and dripping, a mermaid or the Lady of the Lake. Unlike my younger sister who was the bane of my young existence, Christine was the keeper of secrets, the soft touch when I needed another quarter, the wise one that could help me with my homework or who would spend time watching those dumb monster flicks with me when no one else in the family could stand them.
We would laugh at Benny Hill or be in groused in the adventures of the Highlander and she would be the one to plead with our father to watch the last fifteen minutes promising immediate tooth brushing and bed with no further stalling. Please Dad!
She was the babysitter and the one in charge of us younger siblings and could always make us behave with a joke and laughter rather than fear and intimidation.
She was the one that got me out of a lot of trouble growing up and now she was the one in trouble and I didn't know if I could help. She had been one of a very elite group of women who were entrusted and trained to be the power behind the thrones of some of the worlds most powerful people and she let a momentary lapse of judgment ruin six years investment in her training and forcing the school to not only return her very high contract payment but also make restitution not only in monetary form but in favors owed, which were called in to hush up and mitigate the charges against some very powerful people. Charges that would never have seen the light of day had not my sister screwed up.
The Firm is the group of wealthy families that runs an international organization, some of which is legal and upstanding and upfront business, some of which is not so legal and not so upstanding and some that are down right forbidden and could bring down nations if discovered. They run the Institute that Christine was a graduate from and they use and have an agreement with my Grandfathers farm, part of which is to punish certain employees that have caused problems. It was their way of exacting payment for sins against The Firm.
Someone had to pay and that someone was Christine. My fear was that the cost would be her life. That was a cost I wasn't willing to pay.
I stood up slowly, painfully aware of my stiff muscles and headed for the big house and my father and grandfather. On the way I stopped and issued orders to the two trainers I passed, and then I walked into the house. My mother and sister slave my grand mother were kneeling beside their husbands and masters, neither wore any clothes and it was clear I was going to interrupt a quiet evening of television.
"You two, out." I ordered. They both looked up at their masters but when no orders to the contrary were forthcoming stood and left the room. I closed the door behind them and went over to the remaining chair and sat.
Several minutes of silence passed before I spoke up and they waited patiently. "Her death is unacceptable. Punishment, yes, deservedly so but I refuse to watch her die for something so stupid." I said quietly. "We have several millions in the bank and much more invested in both this farm and our lifestyle. Buying off her contract will be expensive; I understand that. It may severely dent our reserves but we can afford it!"
My father spoke up. "It will damage our standing in the international community and will cost us a lot of future business if we go against the firm."
"I have thought of that and may be able to negotiate a solution that will pacify everyone." I looked at my two mentors and began my pitch. "Here's my plan......"
Several tense days of negotiations followed that long night of discussions and arguments with my seniors, but in the end they had given over the farm to me to run and I was the one who would be responsible for what followed.
They also left it up to me to make the deal with The Firm and the Institute and that was a whole nother type of battle. I returned to the farm bloody by unbowed two weeks later.
After briefing my Grandfather and my Father, I returned to my house and the spare bedroom where my older sister had been cared for and nursed back to some semblance of health.
She lay on the bed, chained by one ankle to a bedpost, still pale and thin but looking much better than the last time I had seen her. I closed the door and pulled up a chair next to the bed.
Christine looked up at me afraid of what I was going to say, afraid that I had come back to pronounce that the firm wanted her tortured to death. I spent several minutes just looking at her scared and thin body.
"You are to remain a slave, the rest of your life. All that you owned or were owed is to be forfeit and used as restitution. You are confined to this farm. Period. You are not allowed to speak to anyone outside the family. Any failure to comply will bring an automatic death sentence and the family will have to pay a fine that will ruin us." I paused. "Or you can choose death. You have 24 hours to decide." I stood and walked out.
My younger sister, who is my personnel slave waited in the kitchen of our home, naked, kneeling with hot coffee ready to be poured. She knows I always like a cup to settle down and for the last year and a half always had fresh coffee waiting. I sat and drained half a cup whilst running my fingers through her beautiful dark hair. It soothes me.
I spent the rest of the morning doing the mundane paperwork that every business seems to generate. There was a knock on my office door around one o'clock, I looked up as my mother dressed in her usual corset stockings and heels brought in a covered tray and laid it on my desk before kneeling at my side. I lifted the covers to find my favorite lunch foods laid out. A salad with blue cheese dressing, a homemade hamburger on a sourdough toasted bun with bacon and cheese and a plate of onion rings steaming hot, there was even a ice cold container of home made ice cream shake. Suddenly I realized I hadn't eaten since before the plane trip back home and I was starving.
I tore into the food, barely remembering to feed bites to my mother as she knelt beside me and for twenty minutes I blissfully pigged out.
"That was great! Thanks, Mom. I'd forgotten too eat this morning. (Truthfully I had not had much appetite since finding out about Christine's predicament.)
My Mother recently retired from running her own temporary agency and had moved to the farm with Dad when he retired to take over the family business. He had only agreed to run the farm until I finished college and could assume the responsibility which I now had and which was weighing heavily on my every thought.
Mom moved over between my legs and unzipped my pants.
I leaned back in my chair and watched as my Mother began to kiss and lick my rapidly hardening cock. She was my boyhood fantasies come true, half naked, dressed in her sexy outfit and worshipping my cock. My Mother, My slave.
