"Janet in Training" A BDSM Novel by 
sfmaster@worldnet.att.net

Chapter One: Bondage Introductions
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

	Janet Davis had returned from work early from her 
job, as her girlfriend Sally Belmar was going to pay a 
visit.  Janet had known Sally for a long time, and at 
their last meeting, her friend had said that she was 
going to make a special proposal to her.

	That previous evening, the two women had gotten 
drunk together, and Janet had admitted that she had 
been rather dissatisfied with her sex life. Sally had 
listened to her friend's complaint intently, nodding 
with each point that her friend had made.

	Afterwards, Sally said that she would be able to 
offer a suggestion to Janet's sex problem.  However, 
she would first have to talk to a friend of hers.

	Janet waited eagerly in her apartment, finally 
glad when she heard the doorbell ring.  She hit the 
buzzer, and let her friend into the apartment when she 
heard the knock on the door.

	The two women greeted each other warmly.  Janet 
looked over her guest, and admired how she was dressed. 
Sally wore a fur coat, and beneath the coat was a silk 
blouse, a leather skirt, white stockings, and finally a 
pair of black patent leather high heels.

	"Would you like a drink?" asked Janet.

	"Sure, why not," agreed Sally.

	Janet already had planned for this, and a bottle 
of wine had been waiting for Sally's arrival.  Janet 
opened the bottle, and poured two glasses.  She handed 
one glass to Sally and they seated themselves on the 
couch.

	After taking a rather long sip, Sally looked her 
friend over.  She wondered to herself, how would Janet 
take to the suggestion that she was about to make?  
Just how strong was her disappointment with normal sex 
that she had mentioned before?

	"Janet, do you remember what you said at our last 
meeting about sex?" questioned Sally.

	"Yes."

	"Well, I have a possible solution for you.  It's a 
little unusual, so I would like to ask you to hear me 
out."

	"Go ahead," she answered.

	"Well, I know that this is going to sound strange, 
but have you ever heard of bondage?"

	"Bondage?  Just what do you mean by that?"

	"Janet, surely you must know something about it?  
You must have heard something."

	Janet took a long drink and sat back in the sofa.  
She was not sure just what her friend was getting at, 
but she wanted to hear more.

	"Well, I know that it involved people getting tied 
up and dominated by others," Janet answered.

	"You are partially right," Sally observed, "but 
it's really about trust between the dom and the sub, 
and not to exceed another's limits.  You wanted to 
explore something new.  Do you think that you might 
like to engage in this?"

	"Dominated by who?" Janet asked.

	"By a dominatrix or mistress, of course.  A woman 
who knows something about bondage and about what some 
people need," Sally replied.

	Janet poured herself another glass, then drained 
it in one swallow.  She was intrigued by what her 
friend was saying.  She had heard of bondage before, 
but she had never known anyone that engaged in it.

	"You mean that some people need to get tied up?" 
Janet asked.

	"Yes.  And not just some strange people getting 
their jollies either.  Punishment has always been 
linked to both pleasure and sex.  Perhaps that is why 
you have always felt guilty about sex.."

	"I have never felt guilty about sex," Janet stated 
firmly.

	"Really, is that why some of the men you've dated 
have left angrily," Sally probed, "because you wouldn't 
experiment with sex?"

	"This is the craziest idea that I've ever heard.  
Just what are you suggesting anyway?" Janet demanded.

	"Perhaps you should search for another kind of 
sexual fulfillment," Sally answered.

	"Like bondage?" questioned Janet.

	"Yes.  And don't act so surprised.  A lot of 
people have found it perfectly enjoyable.  You might 
too.  To be properly introduced to bondage you would 
need the right person.  You would need a Dom who could 
train you into becoming her slave," Sally answered.

	"A sex slave.  You must be kidding.  Such things 
don't exist in real life," Janet stated.

	"Don't you watch the TV talk shows?  Try it, you 
have nothing to lose.  Your love life hasn't worked out 
very well.  Maybe it's time that you tried something 
different for a change."

	"All right, I'm interested," Janet answered, "But 
where would I find a Mistress?

	"I know a Mistress who trains slaves.  She'll 
train you," Sally answered.

	"Really?" asked Janet.

	"Yes.  But be warned, the stripes on your naked 
body will cost you more than you might ever imagine."

	"Okay, call this Mistress.  Tell her that I would 
like to meet with her.  I'm not agreeing to anything.  
But I would like to know more," said Janet.

	"Sure," answered Sally.

	"Tell me one thing.  Have you ever been in bondage 
yourself?" Janet asked.

	"Yes, that's how I know so much about it.  You 
might find that you like it too," Sally answered.

	"All right," Janet said, "I'll give it a try."

	For the next few weeks Janet had not given a 
thought to bondage.  Work had been too hectic and there 
had been no time to think of sex at all, though she 
longed to meet someone!

	One night, while staying alone in her apartment, 
the phone rang.  In the stillness it shook Janet awake, 
who had been dozing on the couch.

	"Hello," asked Janet.

	"Is this Janet Davis," asked the caller.

	"Yes."

	"You don't know me, but we have a mutual friend, 
Sally Belmar.  She told me that you were interested in 
my services."

	"What's your name?" Janet asked.

	"Surely she must have told you.  My name is Erica 
Riken.  Are you still interested in seeing me?"

	"Yes," Janet answered, "Sally told me a little of 
what you do.  I'd like to know more about it."

	"Good.  I'll handle everything.  I can arrange 
that after work on Friday, you can be picked up and 
driven to my place in Connecticut.  Will that be all 
right?" Erica asked.

	"Sure," Janet answered.

	"Erica, do you want me to bring anything?" asked 
Janet.

	"No. Slaves don't bring anything. Except a desire 
to please their Mistress."

	"Thank you, Mistress," said Janet.

	"Just come up on Friday," said Erica before she 
hung up.

	Janet hung up the phone, her heart pounding.  She 
was excited that she was finally going to meet a 
Mistress!

	For a change, Friday had been a good workday.  
Janet had been able to get out of work early.  Once 
home, she took a quick shower and found that her pussy 
was wet with excitement.  She dressed in a white 
blouse, a plaid skirt, pantyhose, and modest high 
heels.

	At eight the buzzer went off, and a large white 
limo was waiting for her.  The liveried driver held the 
door open for her as Janet seated herself on the 
leather seat.

	The drive to Greenwich, which Janet knew, was one 
of the wealthiest in the NY area did not take too long.  
Finally, they pulled up to a large walled estate where 
the gates had to be opened first.  The car followed a 
long driveway up to the wooden doors.  Once parked, the 
driver got out and opened the door for Janet.

	"What do I do now?" she asked the driver.

	"Just ring the bell, you're expected," he 
answered.

	When Janet did so, the Maid greeted her.  However, 
unlike other Maid's uniforms that she was seen, this 
one was made of black rubber, not satin, and the girl 
was walking on very high heels.

	She took Janet's coat and ushered her into a large 
room off the entrance to the house.  Seated on the 
couch was a woman wearing a sweater and black jeans, 
not what she had been expecting!

	"You must be Janet Davis," her host as she rose 
from the leather couch, "I'm Erica Riken."

	"Pleased to meet you," said Janet.

	There was a moment of silence between the two 
women.  From what she had read, Janet knew that she had 
to act submissive.

	"Have a seat," ordered Erica.

	Janet sat down in silence, and waited for Erica to 
make the next move.

	"I'm pleased that you wanted to come see me," said 
Erica.

	"Yes, Mistress," Janet had decided to try using 
Erica's title.

	"You're not my slave yet, but it's nice to see 
that you understand what might be your position here," 
Erica answered.

	"Thank you, Mistress," Janet replied.

	"Did you think that I was going to rip your 
clothes off?" asked Erica.

	"I didn't know what to expect," Janet answered.

	"You're here to see if you can be trained as a 
slave girl, just like your friend Sally.  I'm going to 
see if you can be a submissive."

	"A slave girl?" asked Janet.

	"Yes," Erica answered.

	There was a moment of silence between them.

	"I have to get to know you.  I just don't take 
anybody.  I want to know why you want to be a slave, 
and if you're capable of being one," Erica stated.

	"I have unsatisfying relationships, and I want to 
try something different. Sally suggested that I become 
a slave to a Mistress."

	"Good enough.  Would like to see how a slave 
performs?" asked Erica.

	"Yes, Mistress," Janet answered.

	Erica pressed a button on her desk, and the doors 
opened and the Maid entered the room.  She walked over 
to the couch where the two women were seated.

	"May I be of service?" she asked.

	"Yes, turn around please," ordered Erica.

	The Maid stood silently as Erica unzipped her 
outfit.  Janet gasped when she saw that the Maid's 
naked body was covered by red stripes.

	"You've been whipped," observed Janet.

	"Speak, Andrea," ordered Erica.

	"I've been bad recently, and Erica has punished 
me," Andrea replied.

	"Are you her slave?" Janet asked.

	"I have belonged to Mistress Erica for some time," 
said Andrea.

	Janet had to have a few moments to assimilate all 
this.  A Mistress and her slave girl in real life!  The 
chance to perhaps be one!

	"I would like to be a slave girl too!" declared 
Janet.

	"Slaves don't want anything," Erica answered, 
"except to please their owners."

	"Yes, Mistress," replied Janet.

	"Andrea, put your uniform on and go into the 
kitchen.  I shall see you later," ordered Erica.

	"Yes, Mistress," quickly answered Andrea as she 
picked up her rubber uniform from the floor.

	"Before you become my slave girl in training, I 
have to set down some conditions.  First you must obey 
me totally.  Next you must not tell anyone, anyone at 
all what you are doing.  You will belong to me totally, 
body and soul.  And I mean it," commanded Erica.

	"Yes, Mistress," Janet answered.

	"You will continue to work.  Too many girls would 
gladly give up working for a living to be kept here in 
bondage.  I don't need those types of girls.  Unless, 
of course, I were to ask you to do so."

	"Yes, Mistress."

	"Before you enter training, I want you to see a 
demonstration," suggested Erica.

	"On me, Mistress?" asked Janet.

	Erica sat back in amusement.

	"You're really anxious to wear my chains, aren't 
you?  No, I have a girl downstairs in the dungeon 
already.  One of my most dedicated little slave girls 
who needs punishment," said Erica.

	"Yes, Mistress," Janet answered.

	"I see you've already learned a little about being 
a slave.  Go to the kitchen and tell Andrea that I want 
you prepared before you enter the dungeon.  She'll know 
what do.  Now go!" commanded Erica.

 	Janet stood up quickly and opened the door that 
Andrea had exited from.  She walked in the large house, 
wondering just where the kitchen was.  She guessed that 
it was in the rear, and entered a kitchen that belonged 
on a magazine cover.  Plus, the place was spotless!

	"Erica told me that I had to prepared for 
something," she said to Andrea who was washing some 
silverware.

	"Please come with me," Andrea answered as she 
wiped her hands on a spotless towel.

	Janet followed Andrea through the house, if house 
was the word.  Mansion was a better term for the place, 
given that it had a stone wall around the estate.  In 
just two rooms, there was expensive artwork and 
antiques.  But the rest of the Mansion was rather 
plainly furnished.

	Finally they came to a small room that looked like 
it was servants quarters.  There was a bed, and Janet 
noticed that there was a ringbolt set into the wall 
next to the bed.  There was a small sink and toilet 
within a few feet of the bed, so if anyone were chained 
there, they would be able to wash and go to the 
bathroom.

	"Please remove your clothes," said Andrea.

	"I thought that I was going to see a 
demonstration."

	"Yes.  But first you must be prepared.  Slave 
girls don't wear clothes, especially slaves in 
training.  Remove all your clothes, please."

	Janet had never undressed in the presence of 
another woman since the locker room at gym in college.  
She had even been embarrassed while trying on clothes 
in a store.

	Janet proceeded to first unzip her skirt, then 
remove her blouse and place it on the bed.  Then she 
removed her bra, shoes and pantyhose.  Finally, she 
pulled her panties off, and stood naked before Andrea.

	"I'm all yours," said Janet.

	"Good.  It will go easier on you if you realize 
that you are nothing to me now.  That you must be 
trained first before you can become one of Erica's 
slaves.  Now turn around.  I don't want you running 
away."

	Janet turned her back on the Maid, unsure of what 
was going to happen next.  Her curiosity was soon 
rewarded when she felt the bite of steel first on one 
wrist, then the other.  It was quite a shock to realize 
that she was wearing handcuffs!  Janet twisted her arms 
to experiment in her first time in some form of 
bondage.

	"Go ahead.  Try all you want.  You'll never get 
out of those cuffs," Andrea stated.

	Andrea pushed Janet to her knees, producing 
another kind of chain.  This one had cuffs at each end, 
but had about two feet of chain between them.  These 
she placed on Janet's ankles, again clicking the 
ratchets shut until they bit upon her flesh.  Janet was 
captive!

	"Now, just one last thing," said Andrea as she 
went into a bedside cabinet and removed a black leather 
object.

	Janet soon discovered that it was a blindfold that 
fit snugly over her eyes.  It cut off all of her vision 
totally.  Naked, bound, and blindfolded, Janet wondered 
what would happen next.

	She felt Andrea's fingers grab her arm and pulled 
until she was again standing.  Then she began to walk 
leading Janet along slowly so that she could take 
hobbled steps.

	Finally they reached their destination.  Janet 
heard machinery and guessed that they were in front of 
an elevator.  She heard the door open and they stepped 
inside.  Then she felt the elevator descend.

	After they came to a stop, Andrea again pulled her 
along.  Then she felt that they were in another room.  
Janet heard nothing except for the wet sounds that 
Andrea's rubber uniform made whenever it moved.  Then 
she felt Andrea unlocking her handcuffs, and raising 
her arms.  Backing Janet to a wall, Janet felt some 
kind of projections there.  Andrea was taking special 
care to maneuver Janet into someplace special.  When 
she felt Andrea release her, Janet held still, not 
certain of what was going to happen next.  She then 
felt a bar close, which confined her neck and wrists.  
Janet was bound to the wall by stocks!  But still she 
couldn't see anything!  She decided to keep silent, as 
she did not know what would get her punished.  At this 
stage probably anything would be sufficient.

	 Janet twisted within her wooden prison, and found 
that the stocks were made of wood.  The holes for her 
head and wrists were lined with fur, so that she would 
not hurt herself while confined.  She pulled her ankle 
chain without effect, and waited for something to 
happen.

	Finally after some time, Janet heard a woman's 
heels click as she walked across the floor.  After 
being in darkness for some time, Janet felt her 
blindfold being removed.  Suddenly there was light!  
She had been expecting a gloomy dungeon.  Instead she 
was in a brightly-lit dungeon with a stone floor and 
walls, with chains hanging from the ceiling and various 
devices on the walls and ceiling.

	What shocked Janet was what she saw in front of 
her.  Before her was a truly beautiful Blonde woman.  
The woman was naked and stretched into the shape of an 
X by her bonds.  Her ankles and wrists were encased in 
leather bracelets, and each was linked to a bar about 
three feet apart.  A chain from the ceiling was 
attached to the wrist bar, which stretched her so that 
her toes strained to reach the floor.  Janet wondered 
why the woman did not cry out.

	The reason was a red rubber ballgag in her mouth, 
and a strap that went around her cheeks and buckled in 
the back.  The woman shifted without result in her 
chains, and a small moan escaped her gag.

	"Well now, are you impressed?" Erica asked.

	Janet turned her head to look at her Mistress, and 
received another shock.  Erica was now dressed in a 
leather outfit that included high-heeled boots, leather 
skirt, plus a matching bra.  It all accentuated the 
fact that Erica was a beautiful woman.

	"Is this what you expected?" asked Erica.

	"Yes Mistress," Janet quickly answered.

	"I would like to introduce you to Tiffany," said 
Erica, "Tiffany has been once of my slave girls for 
quite some time.  Haven't you, dear?"

	All that Tiffany could do was nod her answer.

	"You must realize that to be a slave girl your 
body will belong to me,"
Erica said as they walked over to the suspended 
Tiffany.

	Erica began to caress Tiffany's naked body.  First 
she began by touching the bound woman's shoulders, then 
moving to pinch her underarms, making Tiffany flinch.  
Then she cupped her breasts, kneading her erect 
nipples.  Finally, one hand moved down to her pussy, 
massaging her sex.  This caused Tiffany to flinch 
again, rustling her chains.

	Just for emphasis, Erica circled Tiffany several 
times.

	"You see, as Mistress I have total control over my 
slaves.  Their bodies belong to me.  And women are 
harsher towards one another."

	"Yes Mistress," Janet answered.

	Tiffany remained silent.  Janet did not know what 
would happen next, but her attention was riveted to 
Tiffany's plight.

	"Of course, slave girls are not merely bound and 
gagged.  They are punished also," calmly stated Erica.

	Erica went to the stone wall and took down a 
coiled leather whip that been hanging there.  It was 
long and sinuous, with a thick braided handle.

	"Now Tiffany just loves to be whipped, don't you?" 
questioned Erica.

	Tiffany nodded her head, her eyes wide at the 
sight of Erica handling the whip.

	"Just you watch carefully," said Erica, "and if 
you make a sound there's a ballgag for you also.  Plus 
more punishment for Tiffany."

	Erica circled Tiffany several times, handling the 
whip and cracking it in the air.  Her heels clicked on 
the floor each time she took a step.  Finally she came 
to a stop in front of Tiffany.

	"Tiffany, you've been a bad girl lately.  You 
haven't come to see me lately, and you know how that 
makes me feel.  I wonder why that is?  Are you seeing a 
man perhaps, or another Mistress!" shouted Erica as she 
swung the whip.

	The whip whistled through the air a it contacted 
Tiffany's body, wrapping itself around the bound 
woman's figure, finally coming to rest with a distinct 
crack as the tip impacted her body.  Tiffany jumped 
uselessly again her bonds, straining against them.  
However, it had no effect.  She squealed through her 
gag.

	"Surely that didn't hurt that much," said Erica as 
she swung the whip again.

	Just as before, it swung with deadly effect. This 
time the tip came to rest on Tiffany's right breast.  
She strained against her bonds.

	Erica swung the whip again and again, each time 
coming to rest on another part of Tiffany's naked 
figure.  Squeals of pain came from the bound girl's 
gag, and her body was soon beaded in sweat.  Janet 
watched in awe as long red welts gradually marked the 
girl's body.  Tears ran from Tiffany's eyes as the whip 
impacted time and again on her flesh.  She continued to 
pull with futility at her bonds, her wrists pulling at 
the bracelets that confined them.

	It seemed a fantastic tableau for Janet to 
witness.  Tiffany was a truly beautiful girl, perfectly 
formed.  She had a lovely shape, high breasts, and 
great legs and hips.  Janet wondered what such a lovely 
girl was doing here, chained and being whipped by a 
Mistress.

	Tiffany appeared to be in real pain as the whip 
landed repeatedly on her flesh.  Erica seemed to be 
aiming for Tiffany's pussy.  Each time that happened, 
the bound girl squealed again and again.  Tears ran 
down her cheeks, staining her white flesh.

	"Stop it," Janet cried out, "can't you see she's 
in real pain?  Stop it.  Whip me instead."

	Erica turned towards Janet, fury clearly in her 
eyes and body language.

	"I told you to keep silent.  This first thing a 
slave learns is to keep her mouth shut!  A lesson which 
you have failed to learn."

	Erica replaced the whip on the wall.  Then she 
walked over to Janet, who could not move against her 
bonds.

	"I promised a gag for you too!" she said as she 
removed the gag from her skirt.
  
	 It was a leather strap with a roller buckle, with 
a large red rubber ball for the mouth.

	"Now open wide," ordered Erica.

	Erica then pushed the rubber ball into Janet's 
mouth.  Janet opened her mouth, and she bit down on the 
ball as Erica buckled the strap at the back of her 
neck.

	Janet tried to say something, but the ball 
prevented her from saying anything at all.  About all 
she could manage was "mmmph."  The gag had conquered 
her.

	Erica glared at the disobedient girl.  She shook 
her finger at Janet.

	"And now, just to show you that something you may 
do may cause somebody else pain, I'm going to again 
punish Tiffany for your outburst!"

	Erica then walked over to Tiffany and removed her 
ball gag.  Tiffany's chest heaved as she took several 
deep breaths.

	"Mistress," she asked, "permission to speak?"

	"Permission granted."

	"Thank you for punishing me tonight.  I really 
love it when you punish me.  I love your whip.  Please 
punish me again."

	Erica turned to Janet.  She looked over the bound 
girl with contempt.

	"So you see, Tiffany loves her punishment.  She 
comes here whenever she feels the need.  Or when I want 
her.  And now for her discipline."

	Erica then selected something else from the wall.  
This was a rigid leather wrapped black object, with a 
circular strap, which Erica placed around her wrist and 
a thin handle.  Erica presented the handle to Tiffany, 
who did not need to be told to kiss it, which she did 
several times.

	"This is called a riding crop," Erica stated, 
"it's used on horses, but a better use is on naked 
girls.  Tiffany, I want you to count each stroke as I 
deliver the blow.  You will count each stroke for the 
benefit of Janet here, as I use this crop on you.  
Perhaps Janet will learn from your pain."

	Erica began to flex the riding crop to show just 
how rigid it was.

	"It's a piece of bamboo encased in leather.  Just 
perfect for naked girls."

	Then she struck.  The crop made a sharp sound as 
it struck Tiffany's flesh.

	"One," she cried.

	"That wasn't so bad.  I'll just bet that you 
really want to count quite a lot today," observed 
Erica.

	Two, Three, Four, Five, the numbers came from the 
lips of the bound girl each preceded by the strike of 
the riding crop on the bound girl's flesh.  Janet 
watched in silence at the performance of the Mistress 
and her slave girl.  Tiffany was obviously very trained 
to accept her discipline with such stoic courage.

	"Ten," cried Tiffany, stiffening her body for yet 
another stroke.

	"Fifteen."

	"Twenty," screamed Tiffany.

	Erica continued her punishment of Tiffany, unmoved 
by her slave's cry for mercy.  She continued to inflict 
the crop on Tiffany's body.

	"Twenty-five.  Mercy, Mistress, please Mercy!"

	Erica stopped her thrashing of Tiffany, when the 
number of 25 had been reached.  Her punishment was 
over.

	"That wasn't so bad, now was it?  Surely you can 
take both the whip and the crop in one night?"

	"Yes, Mistress.  Thank you for punishing me."

	Erica again offered the crop's handle to Tiffany, 
who kissed it again and again.  The girl was thankful 
for her bondage and punishment.

	"Andrea," called Erica.

	Andrea appeared, and she was still wearing her 
maid's uniform, except now she had a hobble chain on 
her ankles.

	"Yes, Mistress."

	Erica then whispered something into Andrea's ear.  
Erica watched with approval as Andrea slowly walked 
over to Tiffany's wooden prison.  Then she produced a 
key from her uniform, but not before Erica walked to 
the wall and activated a switch that lowered Tiffany 
the inch or so to the floor.

	In short order Andrea unlocked Tiffany's ankles 
from the bar, and she stood upright.  She did not close 
her legs, even though she must have been in pain from 
being suspended.  Then her wrists were unlocked, and 
Tiffany began to massage them.

	"Thank you Mistress," Tiffany said to Erica.

	"You are welcome, Tiffany.  Now go with Andrea and 
she will get you ready for the night," directed Erica.

	Janet watched as Andrea produced a pair of 
handcuffs.  Tiffany was evidently used to the 
procedure, and she turned her back while the cuffs were 
locked upon her.  All that could be heard was the 
closing of the ratchets as they clicked upon the wrists 
of the naked girl.  Then Andrea pulled from the wall a 
collar and leash.  She proceeded to lock the collar 
around Tiffany's neck.  Pulling on the leash, she led 
Tiffany away into a concealed corridor.

	The two were out of sight when Erica turned to 
face Janet.  Erica was still holding the riding crop, 
which she used to punish Tiffany.  In addition, the 
Erica's exposed body gleamed with sweat, evidence of 
the recent exertion involved in punishing the slave 
girl.

	"Well?" asked Erica.

	Janet remained in her wooden prison, the rubber 
ball gag keeping her from making any response to 
Erica's question.  Janet could not answer her.  Much as 
she had tried to dislodge the gag by any means, her 
efforts in nothing.  The gag was as firmly placed in 
her mouth as when Erica had buckled it in there earlier 
in the evening.

	"Had a good time?  Have you enjoyed yourself?  Saw 
what you came to see?"

	Erica carefully looked Janet over.

	"Now let's see what you thought of the 
performance."

	Erica then casually placed her free hand over 
Janet's sex.  She forced two fingers within her vagina, 
feeling around.  Janet had always been shy and even 
ashamed of her body.  She had never been naked around 
other women, even hiding in the locker rooms at school.  
Now here she was, naked and helpless before another 
woman who treated girls as slaves!

	Erica then withdrew her fingers, and Janet moaned 
through her gag.  The leather-clad woman rubbed her 
fingers with Janet's cum.

	"Your mind may say no, but your body says yes.  
I'll bet that you climaxed several times," Erica 
observed.

	All that Janet could do was whimper.  She had 
never been felt like that before by anyone.  Was that 
what it meant to be a slave?  Having your body 
available at any time for someone to use?

	Erica then reached over to Janet, and unbuckled 
her ball gag.

	"Thank you, Mistress," said Janet when the ball 
was removed from between her lips.

	"That's better.  I hope that you can now 
appreciate your position here.  You are nothing to me 
at present, and deserve my punishment."

	"Yes, Mistress."

	"Do you have any questions?" Erica asked.

	"Mistress, did my outburst hurt Tiffany badly?" 
Janet asked.

	"If Tiffany had her way, she would be punished 
like that every week.  She loves being a slave, and as 
much as I punished her, she wants to be punished more."

	"Will I be whipped, Mistress Erica?" asked Janet

	"Of course.  That will be tomorrow.  You will, 
furthermore, ask and beg me to whip you.  Don't ask 
what kind of torment you will endure.  Now let me 
prepare you here for the night."

	In quick succession, the bar that imprisoned her 
neck and wrists was opened, and Janet was free of the 
wall.  She was turned around and her arms were cuffed 
behind her back again.  Erica did not bother to remove 
the hobble chain from Janet's ankles, so she had to 
lead her slowly.  Janet meanwhile had a new experience 
in being led to an unknown fate.

	Though she was not blindfolded this time, she was 
too scared to note the route where she was going.  She 
saw prison bars.

	It was a jail cell in the basement!  Since she had 
already seen both a dungeon and a girl being whipped, 
nothing would surprise her anymore.

	Erica then opened the cell and pulled her over 
towards the bed.  Hanging from the wall was a collar 
and chain, which was attached to a ringbolt.  She 
locked the collar around Janet's neck.  Erica then 
released Janet's wrists from the handcuffs.

	"The chain allows you a little freedom, and 
there's a hidden toilet.  I don't believe in leaving a 
new girl alone for the night," said Erica as she walked 
outside the cell and locked the door.

	Erica then touched a hidden switch, and one of the 
cell walls began to rise.  Looking through another sets 
of bars she saw Tiffany sitting on a bed, massaging her 
wounds.  She was collared as Janet was, and Janet 
traced the chain to the wall where it was locked.

	Tiffany was secured as was Janet herself.

	"Bye now girls.  Don't make too much noise, or 
else there are ball gags for both of you," laughed 
Erica as she clicked her heels down the corridor

	"Hi, I'm Tiffany," said the girl as she turned 
around.

	"I'm Janet."

	"Are you new here?" Tiffany asked, "I've never 
seen you before."

	Janet tried to walk over to the bars separating 
the two naked chained women, but was frustrated by the 
shortness of the chain.  She did discover a sink and 
toilet set in an alcove.

	"I'm here for the first time.  Was it really that 
bad being whipped by Erica?  Did the riding crop hurt 
you that much?"

	"It's not so bad.  I hated it at first, but I 
don't mind it now.  You will too," Tiffany answered.

	"Do you resent me for having caused you pain?  I'm 
very sorry about that, I guess I should have kept my 
mouth shut."

	"No.  I've been punished many times before and 
harsher too.  Counting is just a game that Erica likes 
to play with her slaves.  When she doesn't, then watch 
out!  That's when she is really out to punish you."

	Janet sighed.  Just a few hours ago, she had been 
totally free.  Now here she was in a prison cell after 
having witnessed another woman's punishment.  Still, 
she had asked to be here.  Tomorrow she knew that no 
matter how she felt, she would ask to be whipped.  
Having gone so far, Janet did not want to chicken out 
now.  Besides if this gorgeous blonde could take it, so 
could she!

	"Does it really hurt a lot to be whipped?  I'm to 
be whipped tomorrow," stated Janet.

	Tiffany massaged the red marks that decorated her 
body.  The red welts were numerous, and traced around 
all of her feminine curves.

	"It does at first.  It violates everything that 
you have ever been trained to think as a girl."

	The thought that she had been naked before not 
just one woman but three gave Janet shivers.  That she 
was now chained and to be punished was almost in the 
realm of the fantastic.

	Abruptly, the lights began to dim.

	"Well, bedtime," said Tiffany, "That's Erica's way 
of saying to wash up and get some sleep.  If we 
don't........."

	There was no need for Tiffany to explain to Janet 
the penalties if they failed to take the hint from 
their Mistress.  Never had Janet felt either so naked 
or so helpless.  She pulled the sheet over herself as 
the climbed into bed.  All she heard was Tiffany's 
breathing plus the occasional sob. Janet settled down 
to her first night as a slave girl.

"Janet in Training" by sfmaster@worldnet.att.net
Chapter Two: Introduction to Discipline

	The next day's beginning could not have been more 
surprising for Janet.  She had slept deeply in her jail 
cell, and so had Tiffany.  Janet had rolled over bed, 
finally coming awake.

	Abruptly she realized where she was and what she 
had seen the previous night.  Janet felt the collar 
around her neck, and the chain leading to the wall.  
Just for emphasis she pulled on the chain which had no 
effect.  There was nothing that a naked girl could do 
against the implacable nature of steel.

	"Good morning," greeted Tiffany as she stretched 
her arms and rubbed her eyes.

	"Are we allowed to talk?" asked Janet.

	"Sure, the lights are on.  From the way we've 
slept, I'd say it was ten, maybe eleven in the morning.  
It's hard to tell when you're locked in a dungeon."

	"What happens now?" 

	"Andrea will come by and release us so we can 
bathe and eat.  I'm starved," answered Tiffany.

	Janet had to take some time to assimilate all 
this.

	"You've been reading too many cheap novels.  We're 
not going to kept in the dungeon all day long," said 
Tiffany.

	As if on cue, Andrea arrived at that moment.  She 
again wore her rubber Maid's uniform, except that 
today's was red instead of black.  Her ankle chains 
from the previous night were gone, and Janet noticed 
that she was wearing a pair of spike heels with a 
leather strap that was locked around her ankles.  She 
held a set of keys, and in no time both Janet and 
Tiffany were freed from their chains.

	The three women then went upstairs in an elevator, 
one clothed in rubber, two naked.  Once upstairs, 
Andrea showed them to the bathroom where both took 
baths and cleaned themselves.  For the first time in 
her life, Janet did not feel self-conscious as she 
attended to herself in the presence of another girl who 
was as naked as her.  Janet and Tiffany each took turns 
soaping the other, and Janet had a close look at the 
marks on Tiffany's skin.  Not only were there fresh 
marks, but older ones as well.

	When asked, Tiffany shrugged off her marks.  She 
had worn them for too long, and the novelty had ceased.

	"When you're marked, you really can't wear any 
revealing clothes, so buy something that will cover up 
well!  Whip marks are a little hard to explain these 
days!" exclaimed Tiffany.

	Once both women were clean and dry, Tiffany knelt 
on the floor.  She motioned for Janet to do the same.  
Tiffany placed her hands behind her head, and spread 
her knees far apart.  Janet copied her every move.

	After a few minutes, Andrea appeared.  She saw 
that both girls were ready, and she unlocked a cabinet.  
From there, she produced a series of leather objects.  
Tiffany's turn came first, and Janet watched as she was 
collared.  Then her wrists and ankles were encased in 
leather bracelets.  Next, Andrea produced a pair of 
leather spike heels that must have been five inches 
tall that she locked on Tiffany's feet.  Finally, while 
Tiffany was standing, she locked a leather belt around 
her waist, then pulled a leather strap between her legs 
and locked it in front with a small padlock.

	Janet did not understand the purpose of the last 
device until she was locked into the same outfit as 
Tiffany.  Once she was wearing a collar and bracelets, 
and the strap pulled between her legs did she realize 
that it was a chastity belt!

	"It's always the new girls that are the most sex 
starved," said Andrea, "That's why you will wear a 
chastity belt.  Can't have you girls getting off during 
training."

	Both girls stood in silence.

	"I don't want to find you touching or kissing.  If 
you do, you'll be wearing a dildo inside that belt, and 
maybe one up your behind also.  So behave, sluts," 
cautioned Andrea.

	Andrea fed them both in the kitchen, and Erica 
seemed to have vanished.  After breakfast, both girls 
helped Andrea do the housework.  They made the beds, 
washed and vacuumed the floors, and did the laundry.  
It was the very picture of domesticity, except that 
Janet was naked and she had to be careful with every 
step while perched on the heels!

	Once lunch was over, Andrea announced a break.  
Tiffany asked if they could go outside, and Andrea 
granted her request.

	Feeling very naked, she trailed behind Tiffany as 
they walked outside in the garden.

	"How can you go outside?" questioned Janet.

	"Would you rather be chained in the dungeon?" 
answered Tiffany.

	"But suppose someone sees us!"

	"Not too likely.  The walls are very high, there 
are no trees nearby that someone might climb, and Erica 
is a very private and wealthy person.  Anyone taking 
her on might be risking their life," replied Tiffany.

	Following Tiffany's lead, Janet stayed on the 
cobbled walk.  She didn't want her heels to sink into 
the soft ground.

	"Tiffany, why are you a slave?  You're drop dead 
gorgeous and could get any man you wanted.  I'd kill 
for good looks like yours?"

	"Beauty," answered Tiffany, "can be a blessing or 
a curse.  The only men I meet in life are selfish 
pricks that think only of themselves.  I even met one 
guy that wanted me to be a prostitute!  I feel relieved 
of responsibility when I'm a slave.  And that's just 
fine with me.  Here, you'll find you have a clear role 
to play.  And you'll enjoy doing it!"

	"Can we go inside?" asked Janet.

	"Why, we just go out here."

	"I've got to find Andrea to let me out of this 
belt.  I've got to go to the bathroom!"

	"Sure," answered Tiffany.

	Once inside the house, both girls were allowed to 
attend to their toilet.  Then they cleaned the Mansion 
some more.

	"I guess this place stays pretty clean," Janet 
observed.

	"It does when you clean it every day and you have 
slave girls eager to do your bidding.  I wonder just 
how many other Mansions in Connecticut have naked 
slaves to clean house," answered Tiffany.

	During the afternoon, Janet had been working with 
Andrea.  She helped the maid with the housework without 
complaint, and she noted that Andrea always had a 
riding crop nearby.  Janet thought that it was to be 
used on her, except that Mistress Erica had not yet 
whipped her first.  Working naked next the Maid was a 
humbling experience, and Janet wondered just what would 
happen next.

	"Mistress Erica wants to see you in the library," 
said Andrea, after glancing at the clock.

	"Thank you," answered Janet.

	In the high heels, Janet had to walk carefully to 
the library.  Even though she had been summoned to see 
Mistress Erica, it was still new to Janet.

	Janet knocked on the door, not certain of what to 
expect.  Why would Erica want to see her now?

	"Come in, Janet," said Erica.

	Janet entered the library.  Erica was seated 
behind her desk and a small table and chair had been 
set up in the library since she had been there in the 
morning.

	"You wanted me, Mistress Erica?" asked Janet.

	"Yes.  Be seated," ordered Erica, "in the chair."

	Not certain of what was happening, Janet seated 
herself before the small table.  On it was a white 
legal pad, and a black ballpoint pen.

	"Do you know why you are here?" Erica questioned.

	"No, Mistress."

	"Good.  It is not enough that you just want to be 
my slave.  I have to find out why, and so do you," said 
Erica.

	Janet remained silent; not understanding what 
Erica was talking about.

	"Just saying that you want to be my slave, or even 
submitting to my whip, is not enough.  I have to 
discover why you want to be a slave.  Therefore, I want 
you to begin to write all of your most intimate 
details.  I have to know your family history, your 
sexual relations, your thoughts about being naked and 
seeing Tiffany whipped.  Everything."

	"Mistress, I don't understand?" Janet asked.

	"I have to know why you want to be a slave.  There 
are important reasons why I have to find out 
psychologically why you want to submit to a Mistress."

	"I can't, Mistress," Janet answered.

	"If you cannot bare your soul to me on paper, then 
you will be unable to do so under my lash.  You will be 
automatically rejected as being unsuitable.  Is that 
what you want?"

	"No, Mistress."

	"Then I shall leave you alone in the library for 
the rest of the afternoon.  When Andrea returns, I 
expect to see several pages about you and your life, 
about why you are here.  If you cannot do this, then 
you will make an unsuitable slave," said Erica as she 
rose from the desk.

	"Mistress, is this for your protection?" asked 
Janet.

	"No, Janet.  It's for your protection so that you 
don't make a serious mistake," Erica answered as she 
closed the library door.

	With the sun's rays warming her skin, Janet picked 
up the pen.  Janet hesitantly began to bare her soul on 
paper as Erica had ordered, and it was the hardest 
thing that she had ever done.     

	After dinner, both girls were left chained in a 
room together.  Their collars were locked to ringbolts 
in the walls, keeping them apart.  The chastity belts 
had been removed, and Janet had felt horny all the time 
that she had been wearing hers.

	"Well at least we're not gagged," observed 
Tiffany, "at least I've got somebody to talk to."

	The door suddenly opened, and Tiffany fell silent.  
Andrea walked though the door, still wearing her red 
rubber Maid outfit.  Janet idly wondered if she would 
ever get to it.

	"Well, ladies.  Erica is waiting.  Now stand!" she 
ordered.

	Both girls quickly got to their feet, but Janet 
stumbled due to her unfamiliarity with the high heels 
that were locked onto her feet.

	Standing silently, Janet watched as Tiffany's 
hands were first locked behind her back.  The collar 
and bracelets that they both wore had numerous rings in 
the shape of a "D", which Janet assumed were used to 
attach them to whatever their Mistress desired.

	Andrea then produced a gag, but of a different 
type.  This was a more elaborate affair than the simple 
one that Janet had seen the day before.  She watched as 
the gag was first buckled at the back of Tiffany's 
neck, and then a chinstrap came next.  Finally, with 
her nose surrounded by two straps that joined at her 
forehead, a single strap was pulled backwards that was 
joined to a buckle from the main straps.

	"It's called a ball gag trainer," said Andrea.

	She next produced the same kind of blindfold that 
Janet had worn the previous night.

	"Your turn, sweetie," said Andrea.

	Janet shivered with anticipation as she opened her 
mouth and the ball was inserted, forcing her jaws 
apart.  She tried to fight the invader, but her wrists 
had already been joined behind her back.  The gag was 
soon in place, and she squirmed when Andrea buckled it 
at the nape of her neck.

	Next, she was blindfolded, as was her companion.  
Then she felt herself being unlocked, and pulled 
towards Tiffany.  She felt Andrea attached a chain to 
her collar, then the additional sounds of chain being 
attached.  Probably to Tiffany's collar.

	Then she felt a tug on her collar chain, and she 
followed.  She guessed that Andrea had chained them 
both together, and was walking them both with Tiffany 
leading.

	Her steps were slow and deliberate, given the 
heels that she wore.  Taking baby steps was essential 
to avoid falling.

	Janet shivered with anticipation as she wondered 
what would happen to her.  Erica said that she herself 
would ask to be whipped.  In fact, she had already done 
so in asking to be punished instead of Tiffany.

	Once in the dungeon, their blindfolds and gags 
were removed and Janet saw Erica again.  Her eyes 
widened when she saw that the woman was dressed 
entirely in a red rubber outfit with a matching pair of 
high heels.  Around her waist was a belt that cinched 
her middle tightly.

	"Well now, girls, ready for another night of fun?" 
Erica demanded.

	Janet did not know what to do.  This was her 
second trip to the dungeon, and she was not sure what 
she was supposed to say.  She looked over at Tiffany, 
who stood in silence.  Unlike Janet, she was not even 
shivering in her chains.  She was evidently quite used 
to being in the power of another woman.

	"Yes, Mistress," Tiffany answered, "please punish 
me harshly."

	Following the lead of her companion in steel, 
Janet decided to venture an answer of some kind.

	"Yes, Mistress, please discipline me for the first 
time so that I may know your whip," said Janet.

	"Good.  I trust that you both will be good little 
slave girls.  Now Janet, come over here," ordered 
Erica.

	Andrea had unlocked her collar from Tiffany's, so 
that Janet was free to walk.  Even if it meant stepping 
carefully in the five-inch heels. She stood in front of 
Mistress Erica with her head bowed, seeing how the red 
rubber Catsuit clung to every curve of her beautiful 
body.

	"Bend down, in fact, get on your knees," Erica 
ordered.

	Janet did as she was instructed.  She knelt in 
silence at the feet of her Mistress.

	"Do you, Janet, agree to accept your training as 
my personal slave?"

	"Yes, Mistress," Janet replied.

	"That you agree to accept whatever form of 
confinement that I may order for you?"

	"Yes, Mistress."

	"And that you accept whatever form of punishment 
that I may decide for you, no matter how painful or 
tormenting?"

	"Yes, Mistress."

	"And that you will accept whoever I may decide to 
yield the whip in my place, should I desire someone 
else to punish you?"

	"Yes, Mistress."

	"And finally that you agree to keep your mouth 
shut about any and all activities that you may engage 
in here, upon penalty of expulsion or worse?"

	"Yes, Mistress."

	"First you may kiss one of my shoes lovingly, for 
you now belong to me," stated Erica.

	Janet did so, kissing the red shoe.  All she saw 
of her Mistress at that point were her two red shoes 
with high heels.

	"Rise then, Janet," commanded Erica.

	Janet rose from her knees, and wondered what would 
happen next.

	"There is now one more that you are going to learn 
as my slave.  Should you ever be punished beyond your 
capacity for pain, you must plead for mercy.  Any 
responsible Mistress will heed your plea.  Do you 
understand?" asked Erica.

	Janet nodded yes in silence.

	"Good, now for your first discipline with me," 
said Erica.

	Janet was led by Erica who pulled on one of the D 
rings on her collar to another dungeon.  This was 
through one of the walls of the first room, which was 
really just a false wall.  This one was similar to the 
other, except that it had a steel cage in one corner.  
Was Janet to be locked in the cage?

	Janet suddenly noticed a metal chain hanging from 
the ceiling.  Erica pulled Janet over to the chain, and 
unlocked the bracelets from behind her back, then to 
the ceiling chain.  Janet realized her position.  Here 
she was, naked and chained in the middle of a dungeon 
with her arms over her head.  Every part of her body 
was exposed!  Last night she had seen Tiffany marked.  
Now it would be her turn.

	"I said yesterday that you would be the one to ask 
me to whip you.  After a while of hanging here, you 
will ask me to whip you when I return."

	Janet was in no discomfort.  Surely the Mistress 
must be joking!"

	"However, it does get more interesting," said 
Erica.

	Erica than walked over to a panel hidden in the 
wall.  She steadily darkened the lights in the room 
until there was nothing left but a bearable gloom.  
Then Janet felt the chain holding her wrists go taut, 
and Janet began to rise from the floor to the point 
where by straining her heels could just reach the 
floor.  Her leather wrist cuffs creaked with the 
strain, and Janet's body was pulled tight.

	"Mistress," cried Janet.

	"Surely you don't hurt that much already now do 
you?" Erica asked.

  	Janet twisted while suspended from the floor, her 
wrists and shoulders bearing all of her weight for the 
first time.

	"Now why don't you hang there for a little while 
since I can't neglect Tiffany.  You can yell, scream, 
howl as much as you want.  I won't gag you just yet, 
not till you've been trained like Tiffany.  After 
you've hung like this for a while you can ask me to 
whip you.  And I'm sure that you'll be grateful for 
it."

	"Thank you, Mistress," said Janet as Erica walked 
away.

	Janet heard the door close, and she was left alone 
in the darkened dungeon.  She twisted slowly around, 
and her feet strained to reach the stone floor.  She 
watched the room go by, seeing all of the devices in 
the gloom.  She knew that they were all designed for 
one purpose: in inflict pain and suffering.

	There was little for Janet to do.  She tried to 
pull herself up so that she could grab the ceiling 
chain, but she lacked the strength to do so.  She could 
make herself turn slowly by trying to reach the floor, 
and that was all.  Janet heard her leather cuffs creak 
from the strain.  Somehow Janet didn't think that they 
would somehow break and set her free.

	Her wrists and shoulders soon began to hurt, and 
all she could do was try and reach the floor.  All that 
did was to stretch her nakedness even further.

	She heard the click of heels.  Was Erica coming 
back to check on the condition of her charge?  If so, 
then Janet would gladly ask to be whipped.  Surely no 
girl could bear to hung like this for a long period of 
time!

	"Mistress Erica asked me to check on you.  Do you 
like being suspended?"
questioned Andrea.

	"Andrea.  Please let me down?" meekly asked Janet.

	"You know I can't do that.  Mistress would cut us 
both to ribbons if I did that.  Besides, you took your 
oath.  You have to learn your new place as a slave 
girl."

	"I guess you're right," Janet answered.

	It still didn't make her plight any easier to 
take.

	"Still, I did come here for a purpose. And I have 
no desire to be whipped on your account."

	Janet wondered just what Andrea had been sent in 
here to do.  There was certainly nothing that Janet 
could do to escape!

	Andrea opened a hidden panel and withdrew a full 
size mirror mounted on wheels.  She pushed it directly 
in front of Janet so she could see just what she looked 
like in her present state.  Janet was startled to see 
herself naked and stretched in the mirror.  Every part 
of her was visible, including her breasts and sex.  She 
realized how open and vulnerable she was to anything 
that might be done to her.

	As if to demonstrate her plight, Andrea stood in 
front on Janet.  She then began at Janet's underarms to 
caress and pinch her skin.  Janet's breasts next 
received the same treatment.  Janet's nipples were soon 
erect from all the attention they were receiving.

	Then Andrea's fingers traced her waist around, and 
felt the ribs through her strained skin.  Finally her 
fingers reached Janet's sex.  Earlier, she had been 
wearing a chastity belt, which had prevented Tiffany 
from doing anything to her sex.  But now she was 
chained in the dungeon, and Erica and Andrea would have 
full use of her!

	Andrea massaged Janet's sex, causing Janet to 
respond.  There was little else that she could do.  
Even though she was pained by her suspension, she still 
felt her heart beat faster as she reacted to Andrea's 
ministrations.  Janet moaned in response as waves of 
pleasure washed over her naked form.

	Janet wondered what must have been happening to 
Tiffany.  Surely her companion must be enduring a 
whipping or worse.  Concerned with her own plight, she 
gasped at the assault of her sex.

	Just before she climaxed, Andrea stood back.  
Janet hung frustrated in her chains.

	"There would be a great penalty for me if I gave 
you an orgasm right now.  I was told to get you to the 
brink of one, then withdraw."

	Andrea then laughed and walked away.  All that 
Janet could do was too look in the mirror and hang 
there, frustrated.

	She did not know how long she had been here.  One 
hour, two perhaps.  Then Andrea walking in and fondling 
her sex like that.  She had never felt so bad in her 
entire life.

	"Having a good time?" asked Erica.

	Janet did not hear or see her Mistress enter.  
Erica was clearly sweating, one of the effects of 
wearing the rubber Catsuit.  She had evidently been 
doing some sort of physical activity.  Janet could only 
guess that Tiffany had been receiving her punishment 
for the night.

	"Please Mistress, whip me, and let me down, 
please!" cried Janet.

	"I don't think that you're ready yet, darling.  
Just a little more, and you'll be in the right state."

     	Erica vanished as quickly as she had 
appeared.  Janet pulled at her wrist cuffs to no avail.  
There was nothing she could do except stare at herself 
in the mirror.

	Suddenly the dungeon itself seemed cold and 
forbidding.  How terrible it was for a bound girl to be 
here, alone for hour after hour.  In one corner sat a 
steel cage, with its door left open.  Janet could 
easily see herself locked inside, naked and lonely.

	Janet had no way of measuring how much time had 
elapsed.  All she knew was that her wrists and 
shoulders hurt terribly.  She wondered how much agony 
she was supposed to endure before her real agony was to 
begin.

	Hanging, she slowly began to cry.  All her life, 
she had been taught that the way to influence a man had 
been to cry.  Except that here, she faced not a man but 
a woman who could easily see through her feminine ways.

	Just when it seemed that Janet was at her 
loneliest, she heard the click of heels approaching.  
She wondered what was going on.  Was she finally going 
to introduced to the whip?

	The lights in the dungeon suddenly went on full.  
What had been dungeon gloom a few seconds earlier was 
now under full illumination.  Janet blinked her eyes to 
restore her vision.

	"Well now," said Erica, "Are you ready to be 
whipped?"

	"Yes, Mistress, please whip me," Janet answered.

	Janet noted that Erica led Tiffany by a leash 
attached to her collar.  Tiffany's hands were bound 
behind her back, and a ball gag again filled her mouth.

	"Since I whipped Tiffany yesterday for you, I 
think it only proper that she should be the audience 
for your punishment," stated Erica.

	Janet looked over Tiffany's chained form.  The 
blonde stood in her condition fitfully, sometimes 
moving slightly.  Tiffany had again been whipped quite 
thoroughly, and new whip marks were clearly evident on 
her shapely body.

	Erica then pulled her captive over to the waiting 
cage. She removed the leash and ball gag, then unlocked 
her arms only to lock them in front again.  Tiffany, 
her chest heaving, was then pushed through the door 
into the cage.  Erica then closed the cage, which 
locked by itself immediately.  Tiffany's fingers 
grasped the bars of the cage.

	Tiffany was now a bound girl locked in a steel 
cage from which there was no escape.  Janet had watched 
her punishment yesterday, and now their roles were 
reversed.

	Having finished with Tiffany, Janet realized that 
the moment of truth for her would soon arrive.  Erica 
would shift her attentions to Janet.

	Erica took a whip that had been hanging from the 
nearest wall, and walked in front of Janet. The mirror 
had been pushed aside to give Erica more freedom to 
work on Janet.

	"Well now, are we ready?" asked Erica.

	"Yes, Mistress."

	"Do you want to be whipped so that I will let you 
down to the floor, or because it will give your 
Mistress pleasure?"

	Janet puzzled over the question.  If she gave a 
wrong answer, perhaps she would suffer some worse 
punishment.  If she answered with a lie, then she would 
again receive some discipline for her reply.  Either 
way, she was going to feel the sting of the lash!

	"Mistress, please whip me for your own pleasure," 
answered Janet.

	"Good.  I hope that you didn't think that you 
would get off easy because you're getting punished.

	"After I whip you, I might let you hang there for 
another hour or two.  Or I might let you down right 
away."

	Janet had been right.  Feminine wiles were of no 
value here.  Tears, pouting, and attitude mattered 
little when you faced a woman holding a whip.

	"I want you to kiss the handle for me," instructed 
Erica.

	Janet did so, willingly.  Her lips left a small 
red outline of lipstick on the leather handle.  Before, 
she had only kissed people.  Now she was embracing the 
instruments of her torment.

	"Mistress?"

	"Yes, Janet."

	"Thank you for the punishment I am about to 
receive, and......"

	Janet screamed when Erica swung the whip for the 
first time, and it wrapped itself around Janet's 
suspended figure.

	"Surely you don't think that by being submissive 
you might escape?  You've only just started your 
training, slave."

	Erica then struck again, the whip curling itself 
around Janet's wracked form.  The tip hit her behind, 
making Janet tense against her bonds.  Her shoulders 
pulled her up a bit, then she relaxed again.

	Janet screamed again and again as the whip struck, 
hurting more each time.  In spite of being in pain, 
Janet soon realized that she was becoming sexually 
excited by her torment.  She had been terribly 
embarrassed the day before when she had realized that 
she had climaxed when she had been Tiffany whipped.

	Now she was the one being punished, and it was 
having the same effect on her.  Erica circled her slave 
deliberately, showing the whip for good effect.

	Janet realized that to ask for mercy would be 
useless.  Tiffany was a trained slave, and the limits 
of her endurance were probably well known to Erica.  
Janet was virgin flesh, meaning she now had to learn 
what it meant to be a slave girl.

	That did not help her as the whip struck her bare 
flesh and hurt terribly.

	Janet confined her responses to cries for help, 
which echoed in the dungeon.

	"Having a good time?" demanded Erica.

	Janet was grateful for the momentary pause in her 
torment.
  
	"Yes, Mistress."

	Erica struck Janet several times more, leaving her 
panting from the exertions.  Sweat was clearly visible 
on her features, from her exertions with the whip.

	"Janet."

	"Yes, Mistress."

	"How much am I hurting you?"

	"More than I have ever been before, Mistress," 
Janet answered.

	"If you had a chance to escape your punishment, 
would you take it?"

	Janet considered the question.  She had borne more 
punishment than she had ever believed possible.  Hung 
by her wrists, sexually aroused, and now whipped, it 
seemed as if the last two days were a nightmare come 
true.

	Yesterday, she had increased Tiffany's punishment 
with her outburst.  If she took the offer of her 
Mistress now, perhaps she or someone else would have to 
pay a price for it.

	"Mistress, please continue and whip me very hard," 
answered Janet.

	Erica was glad that Janet did not take her offer.  
Had she done so, it would have been Tiffany who would 
have taken Janet's place.  Tiffany had been whipped 
enough in the past few days, and Erica knew that she 
had been worked enough.

	"Since you asked so nicely, Janet, I'll oblige 
your request."

	Erica swung the whip again, beginning another 
series of strokes.  Janet tensed against her bonds 
again, screaming when the whip cut her flesh.  Tears 
streaked down her cheeks as cried from the pain.

	Stealing a glance at the cage, she noted that 
Tiffany was right up against the bars.  Each hand 
grasped a bar, and she could see the link that held 
them close together.

	Tiffany knew to keep quiet.  She did not want her 
body whipped again, yet she knew how it must hurt Janet 
for the first time.  Still it was better for Janet to 
receive her punishment than to have it deferred. If 
Janet wanted to be a slave girl, then she would have to 
pay the price for it.

	Erica then delivered a series of accurate stokes 
that landed between Janet's legs and made her squeal.  
Tears were streaming down Janet's cheeks.  In spite of 
the pain, Janet had not called out for mercy.  Erica 
knew that Janet would make a fantastic slave.

	"Janet."

	"Yes, Mistress."

	"You've been a very good girl today.  Now I want 
you to kiss the whip again, and thank me for the 
punishment that you have received."

	Erica offered the whip handle to Janet, who kissed 
it eagerly several times.

	"Mistress, thank you for the punishment I have 
received as your slave girl," said Janet.

	Erica was pleased with Janet.  However, any girl 
at that point would respond that way to escape any 
further correction.

	"Would you like it if I stopped whipping you now?"

	"Whatever my Mistress desires," Janet answered.

	"Good, then I'll just whip you for a little while 
longer."

	Janet was crestfallen.  She thought that by 
kissing the whip, her torment would be at an end.  
Instead she had again done something to merit further 
discipline.

	Erica then directed the whip against Janet's 
breasts and sex, making her scream extra hard.  For 
Janet, it seemed as if she had always hung there and 
always would.

	After the additional strokes, Erica again offered 
the whip handle to Janet.  The hanging girl kissed it 
again and again.

	"Thank you Mistress for the punishment that I have 
received," repeated Janet.

	"Andrea!" called Erica as she coiled the whip and 
hung it on her belt.

	"Yes Mistress," greeted Andrea as she rushed to 
Erica's side.

	"You know what to do."

	Producing a key, Andrea unlocked Tiffany's cage, 
and led the naked girl away.

	Erica let Janet down from her suspension.  Janet 
sighed when her heels touched the floor, and she 
suddenly struggled to maintain her balance.

	"Thank you, Mistress," she cried.

	Tears flooded Janet's eyes as she realized that 
her punishment for the moment was over.

	"You are probably thinking that you are finished 
for today," surmised Erica, "and you are right.  I was 
satisfied by what you wrote for me in the library 
earlier, so I have decided to accept your submission to 
me."

	"Thank you, Mistress," tearfully answered Janet.

	"However you have just begun your training as a 
slave girl," continued Erica,  "you will learn the 
riding crop and the cane, the dildo and the horse.  Do 
you think that you can take all that?"

	"Yes Mistress."

	"I must now repeat the lesson that you must learn 
as a slave girl.  That you can only accept punishment 
up to you're capacity, and no more.  When you cry for 
mercy, your Mistress should stop and not exceed your 
limits.  You must never place yourself at the command 
of a Mistress who will abuse her position.  Do you 
understand?"

	"Yes, Mistress Erica."

	"You merely think that you understand because you 
have been whipped for the first time.  But there may 
come a time when your very life will depend on the 
choice you make.  Remember that!" stated Erica.

	"Yes, Mistress Erica," answered Janet.

	Erica unlocked Janet's cuffs from the ceiling 
chain, and she lowered her arms slowly, her shoulders 
in agony.  She then led the girl back to the cell where 
Janet had spent the night before.  The wall was down, 
so that Janet would not appear to have any company 
tonight.

	"Have a good rest tonight," advised Erica.

	Erica then locked her collar to a chain that ended 
to the ringbolt in the wall.  Janet was again 
imprisoned in the cell.

	Sitting on the double bed, she realized that it 
was not the single she had slept in the night before.  
Janet noticed a long lump under the quilt.  Quickly she 
lifted the covers and was shocked to discover Tiffany 
bound and gagged.  The other slave girl had a collar 
chained to the same ring as Janet herself.  A ball gag 
prevented her from uttering a sound.  Leather straps 
held Tiffany's legs closed, along with one at her 
elbows.

	Janet quickly undid the straps that bound 
Tiffany's arms and legs together.  She freed her wrists 
and ankles from the small snap link that joined the D 
rings together.  Lastly she removed the ball gag, and 
found a small key there, attached to the buckle.

	"What's this for? Asked Janet.

	"Try it," suggested Tiffany.

	The key didn't release the lock that held her to 
the wall, but it did undo the locks that held her feet 
in the high heels.  Janet moaned with relief when the 
heels were finally off, and then she proceeded to 
release Tiffany's from the same shoes.

	"Am I going to be punished for releasing you?" 
asked Janet.

	"No. I'm your company for the night," answered 
Tiffany.

	"Oh Tiffany," cried Janet, "It hurt so much!"

	"It's all right.  You took the whip very well."

	"But I screamed so much!"

	"We all do.  Even behind a ball gag, if we are 
whipped while wearing one.  But you will get used to 
it.  Now let me treat your wounds."

	Tiffany filled a small basin and got a cloth from 
the hidden bathroom.  Janet lay on the bed as Tiffany 
sponged her wounds, soothing the crying girl as she did 
so.

	Janet had been whipped.  She could not believe 
that it had happened to her.  She stole a glance at her 
companion, aware that she had been a slave for quite 
some time.

	"My back must be torn apart," said Janet.

	"Not really, silly," replied Tiffany, "you may 
have felt like your skin was being torn apart.  But 
Erica is a skilled Mistress.  You're barely marked.  
And as much I endured, she never drew blood.  Look, 
I'll show you."

	The basin was made of metal.  After draining it, 
Tiffany held it so that Janet could see her back, which 
she felt had been torn to ribbons.  Instead she saw 
only a few marks.

	That night Janet found solace and comfort in the 
arms of Tiffany.  She had never even considered that 
she might ever be attracted to another woman, and might 
have been repulsed at the thought.  However, having 
been punished and spending the night in a cell with 
someone who had endured the same things made it seem 
normal.

	Tiffany was well used to comforting other girls.  
She embraced Janet, wiping her tears away and assuring 
the frightened girl that she had done very well.

	The two girls sat on the bed, each naked and 
wearing identical collars and bracelets.  Janet 
examined the one around her companion's neck, fingering 
the leather.  She noticed that embossed into the 
leather was Tiffany's name.

	"Yours has your name," observed Janet.

	"I've been here so long that it only seemed right 
to have my own collar and bracelet set," replied 
Tiffany.

	Janet tried to pull hers off, but the leather was 
locked around her throat firmly.

	"There's nothing one can do," Janet stated.

	"Not while we wear these," added Tiffany.

	"I can't believe I'm here.  I must be mad!"

	Tiffany shook her head.  Every slave girl always 
said the same thing at the beginning.  She had also.

	"That's just normal.  But along with the pain 
there will also be pleasure."

	"What sort of pleasure?" asked Janet.

	"Can't you think of something?  Here we are two 
naked girls, chained together by our Mistress in a 
cell.  I'm sure that we can think of something."

	Tiffany slowly began to caress Janet.  She drew 
the other girl towards her, clasping her arms around 
Janet naked form.  Janet reached out eagerly to 
Tiffany, and the rolled on the bed, kissing each other.

	Tiffany tongued her way down to Janet's pussy, and 
she buried herself in her sex.  Janet moaned with 
pleasure as her companion explored her body, sending 
waves of sensation through her entire body.

	Janet was glad for Tiffany.  The girl was a tower 
of strength, able to withstand punishment without 
protest.  She hoped that she would be able to learn 
from her.

	The two women made love together, far into the 
night.  Even after the lights had dimmed, Janet seemed 
insatiable to explore Tiffany's lush naked body.  She 
had never made love to another girl before, and Tiffany 
was a willing teacher.

	She finally closed her eyes late into the evening, 
hearing soft moans from her companion.

"Janet in Training" by sfmaster@worldnet.att.net
Chapter Three: Janet's Double Life

	For the next few months, Janet's life took on a 
strange double existence.  After her first weekend with 
Mistress Erica, she had been given a strange looking 
ring that had a chain around it's entire circumference.  
Janet had slipped the ring on her index finger, where 
Erica had ordered.

	From Monday through Friday she worked at her 
regular job in NY as a secretary.  On Friday night, 
however, when most people were looking forward to a 
normal weekend Janet would be preparing for something 
quite different.  She would shower and clean up, shave 
her legs and eliminate as much body hair as she could.  
No bikini lines for a slave girl!

	She had asked a neighbor to keep an eye out for 
her apartment when she was gone for the weekend.  Her 
neighbors thought that the limo that picked her up 
every Friday might be taking her away to meet a rich 
date.  How surprised they would be to know instead that 
it was instead taking her away for a night in Erica's 
Dungeon!

	Once, while exploring NY on her lunch hour after a 
power failure had cleared her building she heard of a 
strange shoe store near her job that stocked unusual 
shoes.  She almost ran there, and nearly passed the 
place.  It was small but neat.  Displayed inside were 
the same kind of shoes that Mistress Erica had forced 
her to wear as a slave.  She bought a pair that could 
be locked on her ankles (a visit to a hardware store 
for the little locks was next); a pair of calf high 
boots; and finally the clerk showed her a pair of thigh 
high boots as well.  Janet was overjoyed and bought all 
three.  Finally she would be able to get used to 
wearing such high heels at home instead of just for a 
weekend.  It was a good thing that she had never put 
down carpeting on her apartment.  This way she didn't 
have to worry about tripping on the carpet while 
perched on those shoes!

	When the limo finally pulled up on Friday, Janet 
was glad that it had arrived.  She had wondered just 
what might happen if she were to refuse to come to 
Mistress Erica's Mansion.  But instead, every weekend, 
she dutifully entered the limo and entered her double 
life of slavery.

	When it finally arrived at Erica's, Janet knew 
that she was late.  She exited the car and walked 
briskly up the stairs to the door.  Andrea knew when 
she had arrived since the gate had to be opened, and 
she was waiting at the front door.

	"You're late," observed Andrea.

	"There was an accident on the Bridge."

	"You don't want to keep Mistress waiting," said 
Andrea.

	Janet followed Andrea back to what she called the 
"outfit room."  This was where she and Tiffany would 
exchange their clothes for collars, bracelets, and 
heels.  For two days Janet knew that she would be naked 
while in the Mansion and Dungeon.  The only people who 
would be wearing anything would be Erica and Andrea.

	Once there, she saw that Tiffany had preceded her.  
Tiffany was already naked and prepared, kneeling with 
her wrists and ankles locked behind her.  She was 
chained to the ringbolt set in the wall, and inside her 
mouth was a red rubber ball gag.

	"It's all your fault," Andrea said.

	Janet said nothing as she removed her clothes and 
let Andrea examine her.  She kept quiet as Andrea 
probed her underarms and breasts.  Then she was made to 
bend over and Andrea roughly examined her sex.

	"Wet already," commented Andrea, "you're some 
little Bondage Slut."

	In no time at all, she was wearing her collar, 
bracelets, and heels.  Made to kneel on the floor with 
her wrists joined behind her back, she wasn't surprised 
when Andrea produced a ball gag that was soon buckled 
in the back.  Andrea than chained her to the same 
ringbolt as Tiffany, then left the two girls alone.

	There was no way that Janet could communicate with 
Tiffany.  Both girls were bound and gagged, and all 
they could do was to stare at one another and think in 
their imposed solitude.

	After what seemed like an eternity, Andrea 
reappeared.  She quickly placed blindfolds on both 
girls, then unchained them.  She made them stand up, 
and chained their collars together.  Then she led them 
down to the dungeon by pulling on a leash.  Since she 
felt an occasional tug on her collar in both 
directions, Janet guessed that she was in the lead this 
weekend.

	Once they entered the dungeon, both were 
separated.  They were secured to the stone wall, and 
Janet could hear Tiffany's heels as she stamped her 
feet in frustration about what was going to happen 
next.

	Janet shivered in her nakedness.  All week long 
she had debated what to do next.  Should she return to 
being trained, or send the ring back to Erica?  She had 
decided to go back since she had been bored with her 
formally normal existence.

	Abruptly, Janet's blindfold was removed.  She saw 
her Mistress standing before her, dressed this time in 
a black leather corset, stockings, and thigh high 
leather boots.  The corset had pulled her waist in and 
stuck her chest out for a beautiful effect on her 
figure.

	Janet saw that Tiffany was chained as she was to 
the other wall.  She wondered who would be first 
tonight to feel the whip of their Mistress.

	"Ready for tonight, dear?" asked Erica.

	With the ball still in her mouth, Janet did not 
reply except to nod her assent.

	"Pity I can't issue ballgags in the many companies 
I own.  It just might keep the phone bills down," 
observed Erica.

	Erica then reached around Janet's neck and 
unbuckled the ball gag.  Even though Janet had not worn 
it long, she was glad when the hateful object was 
finally removed.

	"Since you're still in training, you know that I'm 
going to hurt you deeply."

	"Yes, Mistress.  Please punish me harshly."

	Erica then traced the outline of Janet's breasts.  
It was quite apparent that she was leading up to 
something!

	"A slave girl can either be punished for something 
she has done, or for nothing at all.  In addition, you 
can be punished for my pleasure alone.  Now, what do 
you want to be punished with?  The whip or the riding 
crop?"

	Janet did not expect the question.  It was an 
interesting dilemma that she had never been asked 
before.  How could she choose the instrument of her 
discipline?

	"Whatever my Mistress desires shall be my method 
of punishment.  Please use whatever will hurt me more 
and make me scream."

	"Good.  I think that we shall use the riding crop 
today.  It can really hurt a naked girl."

	Erica then produced a key from the belt around her 
waist and unlocked Janet's collar chain from the wall.  
She then led Janet over to another section of the 
Dungeon.  Janet did nothing as her wrists were secured 
to a bar hanging from the ceiling, and then her ankles.  
Janet realized that she was bound in the manner that 
she had first seen Tiffany.

	The spreader bars that held her wrists and ankles 
were about three feet in length.  That meant that every 
part of anatomy was exposed and vulnerable to whatever 
the Mistress chose to do.  She shivered with 
anticipation.

	Andrea had unchained Tiffany and had led her away 
to the other Dungeon.  Janet wondered what form of 
torment her companion would undergo tonight.

	Erica stood silently for a few moments, admiring 
the position of her latest slave girl.  She watched the 
skin crawl on her exposed body, wondering what would 
occur next.

	Erica had the riding crop already on her belt.  
She brandished it in front of her helpless captive.  
Had Erica been in the horsey set, the crop would have 
been used on one of them.  Instead, it was far better 
used on naked girls.

	"Are you ready?" asked Erica.

	"Yes, Mistress."

	This time Erica began by striking Janet just once 
with the riding crop.  The crop was a simple piece of 
equipment.  A long slender piece of bamboo was encased 
in leather with a woven leather handle at one end, a 
loop to hold while riding and at the end of the rod a 
small loop of leather.  It would be either the rod or 
the loop at the end that would make contact with the 
slave.

	Janet screamed.  All week she had been wondering 
if being whipped again would somehow hurt less than any 
week since she had been in the Dungeon.  Instead, when 
she again felt the pain when the crop struck on the 
outside of her thigh did she realize that it didn't 
hurt any less then before.

	Mistress Erica worked methodically, placing new 
stripes on Janet's back, behind, legs and breasts.  
Janet heaved and cried out with each impact, straining 
against her bonds.  In no time, she had begun to sweat 
from her exertions.  Erica noticed the droplets running 
down Janet's body.

	"Are you having a good time?" asked Erica.

	"Yes Mistress.  Please continue," Janet cried.

	"But first, I have to see something, darling."

	Erica then placed her right hand over Janet's sex, 
kneading the sex of her captive.  Janet knew that she 
had become excited by her ordeal.  She could feel 
herself submitting to her own body.

	"Well now.  You're quite wet already, aren't you, 
Janet?"

	"Yes Mistress."

	"Do you want me to continue?"

	"Yes, Mistress, please.  I've been looking forward 
to feeling your riding crop all week."

	Janet didn't know what had come into her.  The 
crop had hurt worse than the whip, leaving red welts 
wherever it had struck.  She did not know how many 
strokes she had taken, and she wondered how any girl 
could possibly take so many.  Tiffany had taken twenty-
five.

	Stroke!

	"Yeeoh," Janet cried.

	Erica continued where she had been before, leaving 
further marks on Janet's skin.  She was taking her 
discipline well, and it was only Friday night.

	"Janet, I will offer you a choice.  I have placed 
Tiffany in a rather painful position.  If you take five 
more with the riding crop, I will let you see her.  If 
you take five more, for a total of ten, I will free her 
and you can take her place."

	"Is it very painful, Mistress?" Janet asked.

	"Yes."

	Janet considered her next move carefully, weighing 
the alternatives.  She had to make a novel bargain: ten 
strokes and Tiffany's bondage.  Still, she had caused 
her friend to endure pain on her behalf before, and now 
she wanted to make up for it.

	"Mistress, I accept."

	"Good.  Do you know what part of a girl is the 
most sensitive to punishment?"

	"Her sex, Mistress," Janet answered.

	"Correct, on the inside of her thighs.  And that's 
where I'm going to crop you."

	Erica then struck once, harshly.  The stroke sent 
a jolt of through Janet's body and she screamed 
terribly.

	"Was I right?" asked Erica.

	"Yes, Mistress."

	"Good, then I'll continue."

	Erica then struck again, this time on the other 
leg.  She watched as the crop left a thin red welt 
where it had struck.

	Tearfully, Janet realized that she had made a 
mistake.  How could she bear such agony?  It was one 
thing to be brave about taking another girl's 
punishment.  Quite another to be tormented first with 
the promise of more to come.  She had only taken two 
between her legs, and she wondered if she could take 
any more.

	"Janet, I want you to count each stoke."

	"Three!"

	"That's a good girl."

	"Four!"

	Tears streamed down Janet's face as she counted 
the most painful form of discipline that she had so far 
endured.  She never knew that such erotic agony could 
exist.

	"Five!"

	"Six!"

	Janet struggled in her confinement, every movement 
making her breasts shake.

	"Ten!"

	Finally, the magic number had been reached.  
Janet's thighs hurt terribly from the crop.  She was 
glad that the agony of the crop was over, and fearful 
that another was about to begin.

	"Well now.  You've been such a good little girl," 
Erica observed.

	"Yes, Mistress."

	When it was offered to her, Janet kissed the crop 
promptly and thanked Erica for being her slave and 
being punished.  The last thing that she wanted to be 
punished for was neglecting the rules.

	"Well now, I always honor my promises," said 
Erica.

	Janet was released from the hated bars, and she 
was again standing with her hands locked behind her 
back.  Erica grabbed one of the D rings on her collar, 
and gently pulled her charge along.

	Janet found herself walking to the other Dungeon, 
where Tiffany was now confined.  Janet's thighs hurt 
where the crop had struck, and she couldn't imagine how 
anyone could bear such agony.  She wondered what other 
torments awaited her in her new role as slave.

	When she saw Tiffany, she gasped at the sight of 
her friend.  Janet was sitting on two black slabs that 
had been joined at the top like the letter A.  Tiffany 
sat at the apex, with her entire weight resting upon 
her sex. Her ankle bracelets were locked to chains from 
the thing, and her joined wrists in back were locked to 
a ceiling chain.  She chain was pulled forward, forcing 
Tiffany forward into a truly agonizing posture.

	"Enjoying yourself?" asked Erica.

	"Please Mistress, release me," cried Tiffany.

	"It's been some time since you last went riding 
the horse.  Surely you've forgotten that you preferred 
it to the rack?"

	"No, Mistress," Tiffany tearfully answered, 
"please don't place me on the rack.  It's just too 
painful to bear."

	"As you can see, I've brought Janet here to show 
her just what a slave girl must endure."

	Erica pulled Janet by her collar directly in front 
of Tiffany.  Janet was aghast at how her friend was 
bound.  She began to wonder if seeing her friend was 
worth the additional strokes.  And if taking even more 
to take her place was a good idea.

	"Would you do anything to get off the horse?"

	"Yes, Mistress," Tiffany cried.

	With her sex resting on the apex of the A and her 
shoulders wracked by being pulled taut, she would do 
almost anything to relieve her predicament.

	"Well now, I've already taken care of that.  I was 
cropping Janet, and I offered her a deal: take a few 
extra strokes to come see you.  Take a few more and 
take your place."

	"No Mistress, please don't put Janet on the horse.  
She has no idea just how painful this can be to a girl, 
resting on her sex."

	"Why don't you two girls talk for a while.  I'll 
be in the next room.  When I come back, I'm sure that 
you two will have come to a decision."

	True to her word, Erica walked away.  She did not 
even secure Janet to something, so she was somewhat 
free.  Even if her wrists were bound behind her back, 
Janet could still walk.

	"Janet, you mustn't do this.  I'm already used to 
it, and you're not.  But you're not ready yet."

	"How do I get ready?  I've just been cropped, and 
I'll be on the thing sooner or later, so why not now?"

	"But it hurts terribly."

	"So did the riding crop.  I took additional 
strokes just to take your place."

	"You don't know the agony you'll be letting 
yourself in for."

	"Look, I have to do this.  I made a bargain with 
Erica.  There's no telling what may happen if I back 
out now."

	"You stupid girl," said Tiffany.

	At that moment, Erica returned as if on cue.

	"Well, have you reached a decision?"

	"Yes, Mistress," answered Janet, "please allow me 
to take Tiffany's place upon the horse."

	"Tiffany, is that your wish also?" asked Erica.

	"Yes, Mistress," Tiffany answered.

	"Good.  I'll fasten Janet for a bit, then you can 
help me place her on the horse."

	Janet's collar was locked to the wall, and she 
watched as Tiffany was slowly released.  First her arms 
were lowered and the bracelets unlocked.  Tiffany 
straightened up, and massaged her hurt wrists.  Then 
her ankle bracelets were released, and she could lower 
her legs to the floor.  Erica helped Tiffany to get off 
the horse.

	"Thank you Mistress," said Tiffany.

	"Now Tiffany, I want you to unlock Janet.  Then I 
want you to help me put her on the horse."

	Erica handed a key to Tiffany, who unlocked her 
collar chain.  Tiffany led Janet over to the horse, and 
unlocked her wrist bracelets.  Janet slowly climbed up 
on the horse, lowering her sex where the two slabs met.  
She took a deep breath when her sex took her weight.

	Erica then secured one leg and then the other.  
Walking behind Janet, she joined her wrists together 
again.  Finally, she attached the ceiling chain.  Next 
she activated something that began to draw Janet's arm 
upwards.

	Janet was cruelly thrust forward as her arms were 
drawn upwards.  As her legs were chained, there was 
nothing for her to do except place her weight upon her 
sex.  Janet gasped in pain.

	"Janet, is your curiosity satisfied?"

	"Yes Mistress."

	"Do you think that you can ride the horse for a 
while?"

	"Yes, Mistress.  Please let me stay on the horse."

	Erica turned towards Tiffany who was free of any 
sort of confinement.

	"Tiffany, hands behind your back," ordered Erica.

	"Yes, Mistress."

	When Tiffany did as she was ordered, Erica locked 
her cuffs together and attached a leash to her collar.

	"Janet, why don't you just stay here for a while 
since I want to entertain Tiffany."

	"Yes, Mistress."

	"I won't even gag you since this is your first 
time on the horse."

	"Thank you, Mistress," gasped Janet.

	Janet watched in pain as Erica led Tiffany away.  
She didn't say any kind of farewell, as it would have 
seemed trite and silly.  She had asked to ride the 
horse, and here she was.

	It did not take long for Janet's shoulders to 
begin to hurt, but she was not ready when her sex began 
to throb also.  By design, Erica had whipped her thighs 
to excite them.  Now they ached, as her pussy had to 
take her entire weight!  Her sex throbbed with a 
regular painful rhythm, making Janet moan on the horse.

	Janet rested upon the horse, sometimes raising her 
head to survey her surroundings.  There was little to 
see in the Dungeon.

	There was nothing so frightening for Janet as 
being alone.  She twisted in her bonds in the hope that 
they would somehow fall away and she would be free of 
the horse.  However, it was all to no avail.

	Bound in that position, she could only draw short 
breaths.  She cried softly in her pained solitude.

	Never again would she ask to take another's 
punishment.  She had learned her lesson that there was 
nothing either noble or altruistic in being 
disciplined.

	For the horse made it seem as if Janet was being 
split in two, with the focal point being upon her sex.  
She never knew that a girl's sex could take something 
like this.  Tears streaked her cheeks as she began to 
cry.  There was nobody here to dry her tears and 
comfort her and that made it seem only worse.  She 
shifted her position again, hurting from the slightest 
movement.  All that she could do was clench her 
fingers, since that was the only movement that didn't 
seem to cause her any pain.

	Janet had not been aware that someone else had 
entered the dungeon, since she did not hear the click 
of any heels on the stone.  She knew she was not alone 
when she felt one of her breasts being fondled.

	"Who's there?" she cried.

	"Just me," said Andrea.

	For the first time she noticed that Andrea was 
without the shoes that were usually locked on her feet.  
Janet still had hers locked on.

	"Andrea, what are you doing here?"

	"Just thought I'd come down for a visit.  See how 
you liked riding the horse."

	"Why it's terrible.  I feel like I'm being split 
in two.  What next can I look forward to?"

	"Why, you could be whipped where you are.  
Sometimes Erica attaches a dildo to the horse, and when 
you sit there it goes all the way into your sex."

	"Has she ever done that to you?"

	"Of course.  I've been her slave for a long time.  
After being trained, then you'll know what it means to 
be a slave girl."

	"Could you release me?"

	"If she knew that I even had the keys to my shoes, 
I'd be punished.  If I would let you down Erica would 
probably put me on the horse for a month, then whip me 
every day for good measure."

	"Do you like being whipped?"

	"Well, you get used to it," replied Andrea, "I 
have to leave now.  I can't risk being discovered here.  
Bye."

	Andrea fled.  Perhaps she had heard Erica 
returning, and it may have been forbidden for Janet to 
have visitors.  Never before had Janet ever felt so 
alone and dejected in her entire life.

	The next sound that Janet heard was the click of 
heels on the stone floor.  Erica walked into view, and 
Janet could see that her bare flesh was covered by a 
sheen of sweat.

	"Well now, having a good time?"

	"Mistress, I hurt terribly.  Please let me down?" 
plead Janet.

	"Only if you tell me if the pain was worth it to 
see Tiffany."

	"Yes, Mistress."

	"Would you like to sit on the horse a little while 
longer, or get a few more strokes with the crop?"

	"Mistress, please take me down from the horse.  
I'll take a few more strokes.  It's just unbearable for 
a girl to have her sex split in two."

	"Good.  I'll take you down off the horse now, and 
I'll give you the strokes immediately in front of 
Tiffany."

	Erica began to release Janet from the agonies of 
the horse.  Janet moaned with pain when she was finally 
standing again in her heels on the stone floor.  She 
would do anything to get off the horse.  Even if it 
meant the riding crop again!

	Erica did not leave her charge free for long.  
Janet's wrists were soon locked behind her back, and 
her collar again leashed her.

	When they entered the first Dungeon, it was 
apparent that the two slaves had traded places.  
Tiffany was now receiving the crop that Janet had 
bargained for the horse.

	There was a similar setup awaiting Janet as Erica 
quickly chained her in the same position as she was 
before.  The bars and chains already stretched Tiffany, 
and fresh marks adorned her skin.  The riding crop was 
hanging from a D ring on her collar, and a red rubber 
ball gag prevented her from making a sound.

	Erica walked over to Tiffany.  She casually took 
the riding crop from her collar, and began to fondle 
the bound girl's breasts.  Tiffany squealed through her 
gag.

	"Well now.  Two girls chained in the Dungeon.  
Tiffany here has taken the crop like a good girl.  And 
since Janet has offered to take the crop again instead 
of the horse, I'm only too happy to oblige," said 
Erica.

	Erica walked over to Janet and offered her the 
crop.  Janet kissed the crop without being ordered to.  
By now, she was getting used to the routine of being a 
slave girl.

	Janet moaned when the crop struck her again.  She 
strained against her bonds but to no avail.

	There was nothing to compare to the pain that the 
riding crop produced.  Janet yelled and screamed, plead 
and moaned as the hated object struck her flesh again 
and again."

	"Please Mistress," she cried, "mercy!"

	"You're still new at this, Janet.  When you've 
been a slave like Tiffany, then you can ask for mercy.  
For now, I have to test your limits."

	Tiffany could do nothing but watch, as Janet had 
to take the riding crop for the second time that night.  
She felt sorry for her companion in slavery.  She knew 
that while Janet was in agony from her torment, she was 
perhaps secretly enjoying it.  She had seen many slave 
girls in all her years of being one.  Tiffany had 
learned to recognize the signs of when a girl 
complained about her ordeal, yet really liked being 
punished.


	"Please stop!" cried Janet.

	"Well now!  Rebellion amongst my slaves?" laughed 
Erica. "I have a perfectly good way to deal with that!"

	Erica produced a ball gag from somewhere, and 
proceeded for force it into Janet's mouth.  Before, 
Janet had accepted the gag willingly.

	"I don't want to gagged!"

	"Silly girl, it doesn't matter what you want," 
replied Erica.

	Erica tried to force the ball into Janet's mouth, 
and Janet resisted by keeping her jaws closed.  Erica 
then pinched Janet's right nipple, making her yelp with 
surprise.  When her mouth was open, the gag was forced 
in and pulled back.  Erica quickly buckled the straps 
in back.

	Janet could do little but moan through the gag.  
In the weeks since she had been a slave, she had not 
yet grown used to the gag as yet.

	She thought that there was never such a perfect 
device.  Unlike what she had seen on TV or in films, 
this gag was really designed to keep a girl quiet.  The 
ball was round, and fit a girl's mouth perfectly.  The 
straps pulled the ball back into her mouth, and all 
Janet could do was to moan.  There was no way that she 
could ever get the thing out of her mouth.

	"There now, enjoy the gag?" asked Erica.

	Erica continued to deliver repeated strokes with 
the riding crop.

	"Now I'm almost done, so hold still while I give 
you a few more strokes to remember," commented Erica.

	The dominant was not exaggerating when she struck 
Janet especially hard.  This caused Janet to heave and 
strain against her bonds, and tears again fell down her 
cheeks.  Janet's flesh burned under the repeated 
impacts of the crop.

	Finally, it was over.  Erica unlocked the gag, 
then offered the crop to Janet.

	"Kiss it, you silly slave girl.  Or would you 
prefer a few more?" asked Erica.

	"No Mistress."

	Janet placed her lips around the crop's handle, 
and proceeded to slowly kiss the hated object.  Just a 
few seconds before, her mouth had been felled with the 
gag. Now she was embracing the instrument of her 
torment.

	"Now then, for being such a bad girl, I might just 
give you over to Andrea for the rest of the night.  She 
has some quite definite ideas on what to do with unruly 
slave girls.  However, I have a better idea."

	Erica then called Andrea over.  They both unlocked 
their respective slaves, Erica leashing Tiffany and 
Andrea taking Janet.  As both were gagged, neither 
could communicate with the other except for stolen 
glances.

	Janet suddenly realized the value of silent films, 
which she had previously despised.  All she could do 
was to look at her companion in slavery and despair 
that they could not talk to one another.

	Erica then whispered something in Andrea's ear.  
The maid nodded her head at the instructions that she 
had been given. She pulled Janet along, and she had no 
alternative but to comply with the pull of the chain.

	The two arrived before a steel door set in the 
wall.  Andrea removed a key from her uniform, and she 
unlocked the mysterious door.  Janet was led inside.

	It was a smaller room, which had against the far 
wall a small door with bars.  The space inside was 
small, like a closet laid on its end.

	"Now hold still," instructed Andrea as she removed 
Janet's gag.

	"Thank you," said Janet as she took several deep 
breaths.

	"You've got to hurry up and use the bathroom 
before I put you in solitary," explained Andrea.

	"That what this room is?" asked Janet.

	Andrea hurriedly unlocked Janet's wrists.  She 
pointed to a toilet set in the wall.

	"Please use it.  If I don't report back within a 
certain amount of time, it'll be my turn on the horse.  
And wash your face, you look terrible."

	Janet did as she was ordered.  She was grateful 
for the chance to pee, as she was ready to burst from 
all the excitement she has undergone while being 
cropped.  She looked at herself in the mirror.  Was the 
naked striped girl that looked back at her really Janet 
Davis, the same one who had felt embarrassed and shy 
about her body?

	Andrea opened the cage, and Janet climbed in.  It 
was lined with stuffed vinyl on five sides, except for 
the door of steel prison bars.

	"Your arms and legs can remain free, but you'll 
have to wear those shoes all night," said Andrea as she 
locked the door behind Janet.

	Janet grabbed the bars and shook them without 
effect.

	"What did I do to get here?" Janet cried.

	"Resisted Erica," answered Andrea, "and for 
wanting to be a slave girl."

	It was the last thing that she heard before Andrea 
turned down the lights and left Janet alone in 
solitary.  The cell was long enough so that Janet could 
stretch out lengthwise.  It was annoying to have to 
wear the heels all night.
	*			*				*		
	*
	"Had a good night?" asked Erica. "It's morning, 
Janet."

	Janet stirred in her prison.  She rolled over in 
her jail, and pulled herself over to the bars.  
Grasping one bar in each hand, she looked eagerly at 
her Mistress.

	"Yes, Mistress.  Thank you for putting me in 
solitary."

	"Perhaps Andrea did not tell you about this 
punishment.  You're to be locked in here all day.  
Don't worry, Andrea will be down with a tray for you a 
little later.  Of course, you won't be let out, so 
you'll be given a bedpan to use.  That's punishment for 
bad slave girls who don't know how to behave."

	Erica walked out of the lit room.  She closed the 
massive door with a bang, and it echoed in the small 
space that held Janet.  All that Janet could do was to 
flail at the bars uselessly.

	Janet wondered what had happened last night to 
Tiffany.  Had she received more punishment?  Had she 
been placed somewhere in a special confinement?  All 
sorts of ideas flooded into Janet's mind.  She had come 
to realize anything was now possible when one was a 
slave girl.

	No matter what she tried to do, avoiding 
punishment had proved to be impossible.  First she was 
harshly whipped, then offered the chance to see 
Tiffany.  She had taken it, at the price of additional 
strokes with the riding crop.  Her agony from riding 
the horse was something that she would not forget for 
some time.  Then she had been whipped later anyway.

	She knew that any attempt at eluding a thrashing 
was useless.  No matter what she could say, there was 
nothing except for the reality of the whip.  Besides, 
Mistress Erica could always silence her cries through 
the use of a gag.

	For Janet, her day in solitary was long and 
boring.  Andrea who passed the tray through a slot in 
the bars fed her.  A bedpan took care of her toilet 
needs.  The room was kept lit, and there was little to 
do except try and sleep.  She supposed that she could 
play with her own sex, but there might be a punishment 
for doing that without permission.

	There was nothing so frustrating as the lack of a 
clock.  Janet had wished for one when she had been on 
the horse.  She had wanted to know her endurance on the 
hideous device.

	Janet decided not to ask Erica.  She guessed that 
her question just might land her on the horse again, on 
a whim of Erica's.

	She longed for a visit from Tiffany, except that 
she was either in confinement or under orders no to.  
Tiffany said that she had been punished many times, and 
that Janet should get used to it.

	From what she had already seen, there were many 
ways of bringing a slave girl to agony.  The devices 
that Erica possessed were meant to be used in the 
training of slave girls, and Erica had the desire to 
use them.  Janet's usual feminine wiles were useless 
here, when confronted by a strong determined Mistress.

	Janet grasped at the bars again, straining her 
hurt muscles against them.  It was a futile gesture, 
and it did little to help her escape solitary.  Her 
plastic and steel prison was rather bearable.  She was 
not forced to maintain a painful position, nor was she 
surround by cold steel.  She remembered seeing Tiffany 
locked in the metal cage, and wondered when it would be 
her turn!

	Andrea appeared outside the bars.  She carried a 
small cup of coffee, which Janet eagerly drank when 
offered.

	"I'll bet that you're lonely just now," observed 
Andrea.

	"There really isn't much that a naked girl can do 
in a cage," Janet answered.

	"You'll get used to it.  I spent many hours in 
there, alone and crying.  You'll find that a slave girl 
can get used to anything."

	"What time is it?" Janet asked.

	"The one item that I was told would get me a 
whipping would be if I told you what time it was.  So 
don't ask again.  You're not waiting for a train.  It's 
not as if you're going anywhere," Andrea observed.

	Andrea vanished as quickly as she had appeared.  
Janet wished for her return, as at least she was some 
company.  Andrea outranked Janet and Tiffany, since she 
outfitted them for their bondage rituals.  Though she 
had never seen Andrea wielding a whip, it was very 
possible that she was allowed to do so.  Janet had 
learned not to find out by provoking her.  Having 
already been both whipped and cropped (she wondered 
what other methods of pain awaited her) she had learned 
not to risk any additional punishment!

	She hoped that the entire day had elapsed when 
Andrea appeared again, this time to unlock her vinyl 
prison.

	"Out," ordered Andrea.

	Janet eagerly jumped out of solitary, and Andrea 
closed the door behind her.

	"Wait," said Andrea.

	Janet was soon confined again, with her wrists 
behind her back and led by Andrea's leash.  The one 
thing that a slave girl was not allowed to feel was 
free.

	She was led out of the Dungeons, the only sound 
being that of her heels clicking on the stone floor.  
At least Janet wasn't gagged yet, but that minor detail 
could change quickly.

	Even though the Dungeon was deserted, Janet 
somehow knew that it was again her turn to be 
disciplined.

	Andrea than pulled her along to the usual bars.  
In no time at all, she was locked again, spread-eagled 
to receive some form of punishment.  She took short 
shallow breaths in anticipation.

	Erica appeared, this time alone.  She was wearing 
another leather outfit, one that exposed her breasts 
and hugged her every curve.

	"Well now.  Had a good night?"

	"Yes, Mistress."

	"Enjoyed your time in solitary?"

	"Yes, Mistress."

	"Good.  Someday in the future, you'll enjoy 
another stay in there all by yourself.  Maybe for a 
whole week?" Erica suggested.

	"Yes, Mistress," meekly answered Janet.  To stay 
in solitary for a night had been restful.  But being 
confined there for a whole week seemed just too much to 
take!

	"Now then, what shall I do with you today?" asked 
Erica.

	"Whatever my Mistress desires," answered Janet.

	"Do you like being punished?"

	"Yes, Mistress."

	"Good.  I'm sure that I can oblige you then.  The 
only question is how.  I can cause great pain in a 
girl, if I so choose.  I can also provide great 
pleasure, also."

	Janet kept silent.  Any answer might just produce 
an unwanted result.

	"I think I know," said Erica.

	Much to her surprise, Janet found herself being 
lowered to the floor again.  She did not know what was 
in store for her, but it might be something new.

	After Janet was released, her hands were cuffed 
behind her back again, with the leash attached to her 
collar.

	"Come over here," ordered Erica.

	Janet was pulled over to the wall, and stood there 
while Erica looked for something in the wall cabinet.

	"There it is," said Erica.

	It was an exact duplicate of the chastity belt 
that she had worn before, except that attached to the 
center strap was a phallic object simulating an erect 
male member.  Janet gasped at the sight of it.  Surely 
Erica was not thinking of using that on her!

	"Ever seen one of these?  It's a dildo, designed 
to keep you occupied for a while."

	"Is that for me, Mistress?" asked Janet.

	"I thought that it might make a nice change from 
the whip.  I was planning on using the dildo next week, 
but you're such a willing slave."

	"Yes, Mistress.  Please use it on me?" asked 
Janet.

	"Good.  Now just stand still and open wide."

	Janet watched with mounting anticipation as Erica 
first buckled the belt around her waist.  She pulled 
the belt tight, and Janet had to exhale in order to 
accommodate it.

	"Here it comes," said Erica, "open wide."

	Janet bent down slightly, opening her legs.  She 
felt as the dildo entered her sex, and she gasped and 
moaned as Erica gently pushed the thing in.  She was 
astonished as it penetrated deeper into her sex, 
moaning the deeper in it went.

	Erica finished her unusual task by buckling the 
strap in at Janet's back.  Janet could now appreciate 
why the belt around her waist had to be so tight.  This 
way there was no chance of her removing it, and it kept 
the phallus in position.

	"Now walk," said Erica, as she released Janet's 
hands.

	Janet began by taking a few hesitant careful 
steps, under Erica's watchful gaze.  She was by now 
used to hobbling around in the high heels.  But having 
the dildo inside her sex kept her in a constant state 
of sexual excitement.

	"Like it?" asked Erica.

	Janet paraded in front of Erica, her cheeks 
flushed and her breaths short and fast.  She knew that 
if she stopped, she might be chastised for it.  Far 
better to do as Erica ordered, rather than being 
whipped again.

	The dildo produced one climax after another and it 
rubbed against her at every step.  Janet knew that she 
was already wet from the dildo, and she had only had it 
inside her for a few minutes.

	"Yes, Mistress.  It's like nothing I've ever had 
before."

	"All the girls say that.  Since you like it so 
much, I'll leave it locked inside you for a while.  
Would you like to come upstairs?"

	"Yes, Mistress, please?" Janet asked.

	After being in the Dungeon, she wanted to see 
something besides stone and steel.

	"It's really late afternoon," said Erica.

	"Thank you, Mistress."

	Janet was blindfolded again, and after a few 
minutes, they were upstairs.  Erica had not cuffed her 
wrists, since it was hard for Janet to maintain her 
balance with the addition of the dildo inside her.

	Erica then released Janet's leash, and Janet found 
herself free inside the house.

	"Andrea is cooking dinner, and Tiffany should be 
around someplace.  If you need something, just find 
either of us," advised Erica.

	"Yes, Mistress."

	For Janet, every step produced a climax.  She had 
once gone into a sex shop and seen the dildos lined up, 
and fantasized what it might be like to use them.  Now 
that she had one inside her, it was quite a new 
experience!

	Janet stood in the library, wondering if she had 
the courage to try a walk outside with the dildo inside 
her.  She heard the click of heels, and saw Tiffany.

	"Hello there," greeted Tiffany. "Enjoy your stay 
in solitary?"

	"At least I wasn't whipped," Janet replied.

	"That will come," said Tiffany.

	Her companion was naked like before, wearing only 
her bracelets and heels.

	"Got something inside you?" asked Tiffany.

	"How can you tell?" said Janet.

	"From the way you're standing, I'd say that 
there's something inside that belt of yours.  Dildo?"

	"Yes."

	"Nothing to be ashamed of.  Before I met Erica, I 
had my own vibrator to keep me company.  Besides, 
there's no secrets between two naked slave girls, are 
there?"

	"No, I guess not."

	Tiffany picked up a glossy magazine from the table 
and sat down on the couch.  Janet hobbled over and 
joined her, trying to sit comfortably with the phallus 
inside her.

	"You'll have a time getting used to it," offered 
Tiffany.

	Janet idly pulled at the leather straps and the 
little padlocks that kept it inside her.  Her nails had 
no effect against the leather and steel of the belt.

	"I feel so aroused," said Janet.

	"I was once in a slave contest where were had 
those belts and we were made to run races and do other 
contests."

	"What did the winner get?" asked Janet.

	"She was awarded to another Mistress for a week."

	"What did the losers get?"

	"Punished, of course."

	"Did you win?" asked Janet.

	"I was the property of Mistress Stephanie for a 
week," answered Tiffany.

	"How was she?" Janet asked.

	"You're not supposed to ask about another 
Mistress," cautioned Tiffany, "there's a punishment for 
that."

	Having the dildo inside Janet made her feel 
intensely aroused.  Idly, she began to touch her 
breasts, finding that her nipples were erect from the 
state of excitement that she was in.

	Janet found that droplets of sweat were running 
down her body.  She felt hot and flushed in her 
condition.

	"I want to walk outside," said Janet.

	"It's a bit chilly.  You'll catch a cold if you go 
outside."

	"Maybe I can wear something," ventured Janet.

	"Silly, slave girls don't wear clothes.  What 
we've got on is all we're going to get," said Tiffany.

	"Tiffany?" asked Janet, "suck my nipples, please?"

	"No. There'll be a terrible penalty if we're 
caught.  And I'd like to avoid any unnecessary stripes 
if I can."

	"I think that we'll be punished anyway.  Please?"

	"No!" Tiffany replied, "look at me!"

	Tiffany displayed her marks, tracing the path of 
them on her skin.  It wasn't worth it giving Janet what 
she wanted, knowing that a penalty awaited her.

	Tiffany wanted to be confined somewhere so that 
Janet couldn't get her into trouble.

	"Bonding together, dears?" questioned Erica as she 
entered the library.

	Both girls looked up from the couch at their 
Mistress.

	"Keeping out of trouble, Tiffany?"

	"Yes, Mistress."

	"Janet, what are you doing?" Erica demanded.

	Janet did not realize that she was still fondling 
her right nipple.

	"Did I say you could do that?" asked Erica.

	"No, Mistress."

	"There will be a punishment for that tonight, 
after dinner.  Since you're becoming such a bondage 
slut."

	"Yes, Mistress," answered Janet.

	"Are you a bondage slut?" asked Erica.

	"Yes, Mistress.  I'm a bondage slut," answered 
Janet.

	"Good.  Just the response that I wanted to hear."

	"Mistress?" asked Janet.

	"Yes, Janet."

	"Can I go to the bathroom?"

	Janet had not asked for years if she could go to 
the bathroom.  Erica accompanied her, and she unlocked 
the dildo portion of the harness, leaving the belt 
locked around her waist.  Once Janet was finished and 
had cleaned herself up, she was soon locked into the 
harness again.

	"Let me show you something," said Erica.

	Janet followed her Mistress into the library.  She 
opened wall panel to reveal a TV set.  She popped a 
tape in the VCR, and Janet saw something that made her 
gasp with astonishment.

	On screen were girls dressed in some kind of 
costume!  They were wearing thigh high boots, a leather 
bodysuit with their hands locked behind their backs, 
and bridles!

	The girls were made to act like horses, and were 
made to pull carts and have races!

	"They're called pony girls," said Erica.

	"It's fantastic, Mistress."

	"I don't do that sort of thing, but Mistress 
Cheryl does.  She has a pony girl camp during the 
summer.  Perhaps I'll send you there for a while if 
you've been bad.  Or good for that matter."

	Dinner was an interesting affair.  Andrea served 
Erica in the main dining room, with both naked girls in 
attendance.  Janet was still wearing her harness, and 
it was agony to wear the dildo in her pussy for so 
long.  Both girls assisted Andrea in serving their 
Mistress, who wore an evening gown, made entirely of 
rubber.  They were taught how to serve, pour wine, 
display themselves, and remove the dishes.

	"One day, I will be entertaining other Dominants," 
said Erica, "and you have to be ready to serve them.  
Naked, of course."

	Janet was extra careful not to drop or spill 
anything.  That was made more difficult by the heels 
and dildo that she wore.  It was a victory that she 
managed to get through the meal with doing anything 
wrong.

	When she was replacing Erica's coffee cup on the 
serving trolley, Erica got up behind her and started to 
massage her behind.

	"You've been a good girl, Janet."

	"Yes, Mistress."

	"You didn't do anything wrong."

	"Thank you, Mistress."

	"I've got something special in mind for you, 
then," said Erica.

	"Thank you, Mistress.  I'm sure it will be 
interesting."

	Later that evening, after Andrea and the two slave 
girls had eaten and rested, it was again time to go to 
the Dungeon.

	Janet stood leashed with her hands cuffed behind 
her back and a ball gag in her mouth, in the Dungeon.  
Her only companion was Erica.

	"I think that the paddle on your behind would be 
suitable?" said Erica. "Don't you?"

	Janet's eyes widened in surprise when she saw that 
Erica was holding a leather paddle in her hands.

	She pulled Janet over to a vinyl covered saw horse 
and first secured her ankles, after having first drawn 
them apart.  Unlocking her wrists, Janet was bent over 
the horse.  Her wrists were secured.

	Her behind was sticking up in the air.  She 
squealed when she felt Erica's hands probing her sex.

	"You must be pretty sore and horny after had that 
dildo in your pussy all day," said Erica, "once I 
sentenced one of my other girls to wear it all day at 
her regular job.  I'm told that she was quite efficient 
that day."

	Janet felt her behind pushed and probed her ass 
cheeks separated, and her flesh kneaded.  She moaned 
from behind her gag.  Then she felt lubricant spread 
into her asshole, and became afraid.

	Erica had put on a pair of rubber surgical gloves, 
and gently inserted her finger with lubricant into 
Janet's asshole.  Janet was really not ready for this, 
so Erica probed gently and did not force her finger 
inside.

	"Calm, dear.  Calm.  Don't get excited, I'm not 
going to hurt you there.  Since your behind is in such 
an excellent position, I just thought that I'd take 
this chance to explore.  They'll be other times when 
I'll use your asshole."

	Janet whimpered from behind the gag.  If it had 
not silenced her, she would have been screaming by now.  
Still, it was more from fright than actual pain.  Erica 
slowly inserted her finger, lubricating Janet's 
asshole, only moving her gloved finger inside when she 
felt that Janet was open and ready for her.

	Even though Janet's asshole had almost clamped 
shut at first, Erica was a talented Mistress.  She 
calmed and soothed Janet, putting her at ease and 
relaxing her so that she could probe her behind.

	"You did very well, Janet," complimented Erica 
when she had completed her examination.

	"Mmmmmmmph," Janet answered from behind her gag.

	Bent over the horse, Janet had gradually relaxed 
while her behind was being probed.  Erica had been 
gentle and soothing, and Janet had soon cooperated with 
having her asshole fingered.  She had been afraid that 
she might be torn open, but instead she had merely been 
frightened of nothing.

	"Now for the paddle," said Erica.

	She displayed the leather paddle to Janet.  It was 
a thick heavy paddle that bent.  Erica showed it to her 
captive.

	"Ready dear?" asked Erica.

	Janet shook her head no as the first blow struck.  
It was a light blow, not the devastating one that she 
had feared.  It stung, and the broad leather had left a 
large footprint where it had struck her behind.

	Erica continued slowly, delivering each blow with 
the precision that she used with the whip.  Janet felt 
the skin of her naked behind heat up slowly with each 
blow, feeling ever more erotic as the paddle impacted 
on her flesh.
 
	"Your skin is turning a lovely shade of red, 
Janet," Erica observed.

	Janet bit down on the gag.  Somehow, the gag gave 
her the dignity to accept her punishment, since she 
might plead and embarrass herself if she was free of 
it.

	First one cheek, then the other felt the sting of 
the paddle.  Erica used slightly stronger strokes, 
which made Janet moan and squirm.  She pulled at her 
bracelets without effect, marveling at the sheer 
practical nature of their keeping a girl utterly 
helpless.

	Bent over, she felt so embarrassed.  Helpless, 
with her behind in the air, she was at Erica's complete 
mercy.

	Having had her asshole already probed made her 
concerned for what might happen next.  When Erica said 
that she was totally owned by her Mistress, Janet 
realized that it was true.

	"I'm finished," said Erica as she replaced the 
paddle on its hook.  She bent down and released Janet's 
ballgag.

	"Thank you, Mistress," said Janet.

	"That's good, dear," answered Erica.

	"May I ask a question, Mistress?" asked Janet.

	"Sure."

	"Where's Tiffany?"

	"Tied up somewhere, I should imagine.  Andrea is 
entertaining her just now."

	"Thank you, Mistress."
	*			*			*			*
	Monday morning found Janet getting ready for work.  
Getting up early to shower, she admired the marks from 
the whip and the crop.  She fingered her pussy and felt 
herself wet from the memory of having the dildo inside 
her.  Her behind was a little tender, but sitting was 
possible.

	How am I going to keep my mind on my work today? 
Janet asked herself, when I'm so sexually charged?

"Janet in Training" by sfmaster@worldnet.att.net
Chapter Four: Slave Girl on Loan

	Time passed as Janet continued to lead her highly 
unusual life.  From Monday through Friday, she worked 
at her job and lived normally.  She worked, shopped, 
did laundry.  She refused the advances on men at her 
job, and stopped socializing with her female friends.  
Gradually, she acquired the nickname of Ice Queen.

	When Friday came, she couldn't wait for the 
arrival of the limo to take her to Mistress Erica for 
her bondage session.  Little could her co-workers 
imagine just what she was doing on her time off.  
Normally, they would all go out for happy hour on 
Friday.  Janet would refuse, since she had to get 
ready.

	Her choice of sexual outlet would have surprised 
them.  She did not mention it to anybody.  Janet kept 
her dark secret well, and nobody suspected just what 
she was really doing with her life.

	While reading an alternative publication, she 
found an ad for a fetish shop.  On a weekday after 
work, she ventured there to find the same sort of 
equipment that had been used on her by Mistress Erica.  
To compliment the high heels that she wore at home, 
Janet purchased a set of collar and bracelets so that 
she could wear them at home and fantasize about 
Mistress Erica.  She saw that the shop also had a dildo 
harness, and she passed on buying it.  But she 
remembered how long she had worn it and what effect it 
produced on her.

	One weekday evening while she was at home the 
phone rang.  She was naked, and wearing her collar and 
bracelets.  She was startled, since she had not been 
expecting anyone to call.

	"Hello?" asked Janet.

	"Janet?  Hello, it's Erica.  Glad I caught you at 
home.  I have to give you some bad news."

	"Mistress, what's wrong?" asked Janet, concern in 
her voice.

	"Nothing bad, except that I have to go out of the 
country on business for a few weeks.  Andrea and I will 
be leaving for Europe tomorrow.  I have some business 
to take care of there."

	"I'm sorry to hear that," Janet answered.

	"I know how disappointed you must feel.  So I've 
arranged for you too see a good friend of mine.  She'll 
take care of you while I'm gone.  Is that all right?" 
asked Erica.

	"Yes, Mistress.  How will I meet her?" Janet 
asked.

	"Don't worry.  She'll contact you."

	"What's her name?" asked Janet.

	"Mistress Stephanie.  You must remember to obey 
her implicitly, since she will report your conduct when 
I return."

	"Yes, Mistress.  I'll be a good slave girl," 
offered Janet.

	"I know you will, Janet.  Bye."

	"Goodbye, Mistress Erica, and I love you," said 
Janet.

	"I know you do."

	Janet was disappointed when she finally hung up 
the phone.  She had been expecting to see Erica as 
usual this weekend, and instead she had been handed 
over to another Mistress.  Still, Tiffany had said that 
she had already been with Stephanie, but did not want 
to talk about her.  Damn!  Why didn't they just 
exchange phone numbers, instead of being anonymous to 
each other!  She really wanted to have Tiffany as a 
friend and confidant, not just fellow slave!

	Her next few days were spent in an aura of 
anticipation.  She jumped on every phone call, tore 
open every letter.  As yet, there had been nothing.

	By Thursday night, she was sure that Stephanie was 
not going to call.  Surely this mysterious person would 
have already called to speak to her new charge.

	Just when Janet had stepped out of the shower 
naked and dripping wet, the phone rang.  She raced over 
to pick it up.

	"Hello, is this Janet?" asked a woman's voice.

	"Yes," said Janet breathlessly.

	"My name is Stephanie Richards.  We've never met, 
but we have a friend in common, Erica.  She asked me if 
I would take care of you while she's away.  Is that 
acceptable to you?"

	"Yes," Janet was so excited that she could barely 
answer.

	"Good.  She told me of your limits, and I have 
agreed.  We shall follow the same procedures every 
weekend, as you do with Erica."

	"Thank you, Mistress."

	"Good.  I'll send a limo tomorrow night.  And 
don't be late, I don't like lateness.  Do you 
understand?"

	"Yes, Mistress."

	"Just be ready," cautioned Stephanie.

	Before Janet could say anything else, she heard 
the received hang up on the other end.  Janet toweled 
herself off, and found that her sex was wet with 
anticipation from talking with Stephanie.

	Friday, she waited outside her door.  Finally, a 
limo pulled up and she got inside.  The driver aimed 
the car towards the parkway.  She watched as the car 
went again to Connecticut, to a town not far from 
Greenwich.  Erica and Stephanie were almost neighbors!  
After a long drive, when it had gotten dark, they 
pulled up in front of a large walled estate.  The car 
entered though a locked gate, and pulled up in front of 
a lit doorway.

	Janet took her coat and purse, and exited the car.  
She walked over to the door, and rang the bell.

	The door was opened not be maid dressed in rubber, 
but by a beautiful woman in her late 30s.

	"Are you Stephanie?" asked Janet.

	"Mistress Stephanie, thank you.  Please come in, 
Janet."

	Stephanie took Janet's coat and placed it in the 
hall closet.  Janet kept her silence, since she was in 
the presence of her new Mistress.

	"Please come into the library.  I was involved in 
something when you arrived."

	"Yes, Mistress."

	Janet followed Stephanie into the library.  It was 
a big room, loaded with bookcases full of books and 
draped over a chair was a Maid's latex uniform, 
complete with stockings and shoes.  Janet kept silent 
when she saw that a naked girl was bound to a leather 
footstool.  Her knees and elbows were roped to the legs 
of the footstool, and she had a full ball gag trainer 
in her mouth.

	"This is Camille, my Maid.  She did not obey my 
command, so I was getting ready to punish her when you 
arrived."

	Camille looked at Janet, her mouth silenced with 
the ball gag.  She was bound to the leather footstool, 
and she was rubbing her naked body against the leather.  
It was quite erotic to see.

	"Camille, stop that!" ordered Stephanie.  "You're 
not bound there to get off sexually.  Wait till I 
finish with Janet here, and then I'll attend to you."

	Camille grunted in reply.

	"Please be seated," directed Stephanie.

	Janet seated herself in a nearby chair.  She 
watched as Stephanie pulled a heavy armchair over, then 
placed her legs over Camille's bound form.  Camille was 
being used as a piece of furniture!

	"Erica tells me you are a slave girl.  Is that 
correct?"

	"Yes, Mistress."

	"How long have you been in training?"

	"Several months."

	"Have you been whipped?"

	"Yes, Mistress", Janet answered.  How strange this 
conversation was!

	"Good.  Erica and I have been friends and 
associates for a long time.  We have shared many things 
over the years, including girls.  I agreed to continue 
your training while she is away, do you understand?"

	"Yes, Mistress."

	"You must realize that you must obey me as you 
would obey her.  Failure will result in a truly painful 
punishment.  Are you prepared to accept the orders of 
another Mistress?"

	"Yes, Mistress.  Else I would not be here 
tonight."

	"Good.  I see that you already know the correct 
forms of address.  I hope that you are well trained, 
since I shall be expecting much from you.  Here is 
something from Mistress Erica.  I think that you'll 
know what to do."

	Stephanie produced a sealed box, which she handed 
to Janet.  Janet tore the tape off, and opened it to 
reveal her collar, bracelets, and shoes.

	"Mistress Stephanie, permission to prepare?" asked 
Janet.

	"Go ahead, Janet," answered Stephanie.

	Janet was by now used to the idea of being naked 
before another woman.  She stood up and began to remove 
her clothes.  She undid her skirt, blouse, shoes, 
garter belt and stockings.  Her bra and panties 
followed next, and she was naked in front of Stephanie.

	"Stand still," ordered Stephanie.

	"Yes, Mistress."

	Stephanie inspected her new charge.  Janet was 
simply lovely, and her body was well striped.

	"Turn around and hold your arms straight up."

	Janet did as she was instructed.

	Camille grunted when Stephanie removed her legs 
from her back.

	"Janet, I want you to bend over," ordered 
Stephanie.

	Janet bent over to touch her toes.  She stood 
still as Stephanie began to feel her back, then 
inserted a hand between her legs.  Stephanie fondled 
her sex quickly, then moved on to her breasts.  Janet 
flinched when her nipples were pulled, but she remained 
silent.

	Stephanie felt Janet's bottom, massaging the 
girl's ass cheeks.  She then reached up with one hand 
for Janet's sex again, making her shiver with her 
touch.  Janet moaned when she felt Stephanie's 
examination of the most private parts of her body.

	"You may stand up now," she commanded.

	Janet stood straight again, under the watchful eye 
of her new Mistress.  She did not look Stephanie 
directly in the eye, since that would be a reason to 
punish her.

	"You can put on your bracelets now," Stephanie 
ordered.

	Usually, Andrea would lock Janet into her bondage.  
However, she was in Stephanie's house now, so she had 
to do that herself.

	Hesitantly, she picked up the collar and locked it 
around her neck.  Then she locked the bracelets around 
her wrists and ankles.  Finally, she locked the high 
heels on her feet.  She locked the small padlocks shut 
after she pulled the metal loop through the leather 
strap.

	"Excellent," commented Stephanie.

	"Thank you, Mistress," said Janet.

	"Before we begin, I want to show you how I treat 
my slaves."

	Stephanie walked over to a cabinet, and after 
opening a drawer she produced a large dildo and a 
riding crop.  She flexed the crop in her hands to show 
its stiffness to Janet.

	"Have you been cropped before?" asked Stephanie.

	"Yes, Mistress."

	"Good.  This will be for Camille."

	Taking the two objects, Stephanie approached the 
bound Camille.  She inserted the dildo within Camille's 
sex, after first lubricating the phallus.  Camille 
grunted when the dildo was placed within the lips of 
her sex, and arched her back to help Stephanie plunge 
it into her sheath.

	Once Stephanie was satisfied that the dildo was 
placed firmly within Camille, she began to pinch the 
bound girl's breasts and ass.  This made her squirm and 
moan from within her ball gag.  Her friction against 
the leather of the footstool was also having an effect 
on the bound girl, as she rubbed against it.

	"Keep that dildo in your pussy," ordered 
Stephanie, "Or you'll get something up your behind!"

	Stephanie then began to slowly caress Camille with 
the riding crop.  At the very end was a small leather 
loop, which she traced over Camille back, behind, 
calves, and feet.

	"There now, Camille," said Stephanie.  "Don't you 
regret breaking that dish?"

	All that Camille could do was to moan.

	Stephanie began to lightly crop Camille, with the 
crop leaving tiny red marks on her naked skin.  The 
Mistress would first place a series of marks on one 
area, then move on to another.  She then began to 
increase the intensity and strength of her strokes, 
making Camille rub against the footstool.

	Janet stood entranced by the scene, watching 
Stephanie discipline her errant slave.  She noticed 
that every now and then, Stephanie would make certain 
that the dildo was still within Camille's pussy.  Janet 
marveled at the control that the girl had!  By now, 
Janet knew that she would have lost all control and 
expelled the phallus from her sex.

	After a series of moderate strokes, Stephanie 
stopped.

	"Enough," said Stephanie.  "We have to take care 
of our guest."

	"Janet, untie Camille.  I'm sure that you can deal 
with a few ropes.  You can remove her dildo and gag.  
She will be helping you next."

	Janet had never untied another girl before.  The 
scene had been so erotic that she felt almost 
hypnotized by what she had been ordered to do.  First 
she hobbled over to Camille, and inserted her hand 
between the bound girl's legs.  She grabbed the dildo, 
and slowly withdrew it from Camille's sex, making the 
girl moan and fidget.  Then she knelt and untied the 
ropes on one footstool leg, then the other.  She then 
stood and walked two steps to Camille's front, then 
knelt again and released her elbows.  She then helped 
Camille to her feet, and unbuckled the gag straps.  
Camille took several deep breaths, her breasts heaving 
in the process.

	"Thank you, Mistress Stephanie," said Camille.

	"This is Janet, Mistress Erica's slave.  Get 
dressed and place her in the Dungeon pending my 
arrival.  I'm going to get dressed."

	"Yes, Mistress."

	Stephanie confidently left the library, closing 
the door behind her.  The lock clicked loudly in the 
room's utter silence.

	Camille dressed quickly.  First was a small silk 
panty, followed by her garter belt and stockings.  Then 
a demi bra that lifted her breasts upwards, and exposed 
her aureole and nipples.  Next, she put on the black 
uniform and zipped it up, without any help from Janet.  
Finally, she put on a set of heels like Janet, which 
she also locked upon her feet.

	"We have to hurry," said Camille.  "I don't want 
to risk another punishment."

	"What do I have to do?" asked Janet.

	"Nothing that you haven't done before," said 
Camille.  "Now be quiet as I get you ready.  Mistress 
Stephanie already instructed me how you were to be 
prepared."

	Janet stood silently, as her wrists were locked 
together in back and a leash attached to her collar.  
Then Camille went to a cabinet and got out a small box.  
She opened it, and Janet glimpsed something metallic 
within.

	"I don't know if you're used to these clamps.  
It'll hurt at first, but you'll learn to live with 
them."

	Camille produced a metal clamp that looked 
menacing, which she moved to place on Janet's nipple.  
Camille had to pinch and tease the nipple to make it 
erect, then she slowly closed the jaws of the clamp 
upon it.  Janet flinched when it was firmly on.

	"You don't want these to fall off.  We'll both get 
punished for that," stated Camille.

	Janet's other nipple was soon adorned like the 
first.  Then she backed away when Camille produced 
another clamp.

	"I've got two for your sex also, then a gag and 
blindfold.  Be glad that I showed these to you first, 
before I gagged you," said Camille.

	"Thank you," answered Janet.

	Janet stood helplessly as Camille gently attached 
the two clamps to her outer pussy lips, feeling their 
pressure as they were set firmly in her pussy.  She 
moaned and shifted her legs.

	"You're handling this quite well," said Camille.  
"My first time I panicked."

	"Thanks," said Janet.

	Then Janet was gagged and blindfolded as usual.  
She accepted the gag reluctantly, since it was usually 
Andrea who performed that task.

	Here she was in an unfamiliar house, at the mercy 
of another Mistress.  She was again bound and helpless, 
and being led away to a new Dungeon.  Then why was she 
so excited by everything that she had so far seen 
tonight?

	She followed Camille in silence, the only sound 
being the clicking of their heels as they walked.  
Camille guided her charge through several corridors, 
none of which had carpeting.  Janet was glad for that 
simple accommodation to slave girls.

	Finally, she heard the hinges to a heavy door 
open.  Walking inside onto the stone floor, she felt 
the roughness as her stiletto heels caught the slight 
variations in its surface.

	Janet felt her hands unlocked then locked again to 
a bar suspended from the ceiling.  Something was then 
activated, and she was soon stretched as the slack in 
the chain was taken up.  Janet then heard Camille's 
heels click as the Maid left the Dungeon, closing the 
door behind her.

	Janet hung there, alone.  Even though it was it 
was futile, Janet tested her chains.  She found that 
the steel was implacable as ever.  She tried to pull at 
the bar that suspended her from the ceiling, to no 
effect.  But what were worse were the clamps on her 
nipples and sex.  Mistress Erica had never used those 
and on her first night with Mistress Stephanie she was 
being subjected to something new and quite painful.  
She wished that Stephanie would soon arrive.

	Janet heard the door open again and there was the 
sound of two people walking.  She heard the door hinges 
squeak their protest upon opening, and she felt a draft 
at her naked back.  Then the door was closed again, and 
she felt the blindfold being removed.

	She blinked her eyes in the sudden light.  As she 
was able to focus again, she saw that Stephanie was now 
wearing a vinyl bra and matching skirt, thigh high 
boots, and shoulder length gloves all in black.  
Camille was dressed as before, except that she was now 
dressed in a latex outfit.

	Stephanie then undid her gag, and Janet was free 
of the ball between her lips.

	"Thank you, Mistress," said Janet.

	"Do you enjoy being chained again?" asked 
Stephanie.

	"Yes, Mistress," quickly answered Janet.

	"Do you like the accommodations?"

	Janet looked over the Dungeon and found that there 
were many more things than she had been before.  
Stocks, a large device in the shape of an X, a rack, 
and numerous places to chain a slave girl were all that 
she could see at first glance.

	"Yes, Mistress."

	"Good.  I'm sure that over time we'll get a chance 
to use these wonderful things together."

	Janet stood silent in her chains.

	"Do you like the clamps?"

	"They have never been used on me before," answered 
Janet.

	"You didn't answer my question slave.  I asked you 
if you liked them, not if they've been used before."

	"I'm sorry Mistress.  I like them a lot," answered 
Janet.

	"Do they hurt?" asked Stephanie.

	"Yes, Mistress."

	"Good.  Perhaps I'll leave them on when I use the 
riding crop for good effect," said Stephanie.  "You do 
like the riding crop, now don't you?"

	"Yes, Mistress."

	"Good.  Camille, hand me the crop."

	At the command of her Mistress, Camille handed 
Mistress Stephanie the riding crop that she had been 
holding all this time.  Stephanie flexed the crop in 
her gloved hands, then offered it to Janet.  Janet 
kissed it, caressing the instrument with her lips as if 
it was a lover.

	Janet wondered when the moment of truth would 
come.  Unlike Erica, Stephanie did not circle Janet.  
She did not make her punishment seem a game, but 
instead took it very seriously.  Her new Mistress stood 
in front of her, flexing the crop in her hands.

	Next, Stephanie stuck with the crop.  It blazed a 
path of clear agony across Janet's loins, making her 
struggle against her bonds.  Still, she did not cry out 
in pain.

	Stephanie began again by laying down a regular 
pattern of stripes on Janet's bottom.  She struck 
harshly with the crop, marking her behind each time.  
Janet's skin striped nicely, leaving a welt each time 
the crop impacted on her female flesh.

	Janet struggled against her chains, pulling then 
in a futile attempt to get away from the harsh riding 
crop that Stephanie used on her naked flesh.  It was 
quite obvious that Stephanie was a determined Mistress, 
as her naked body was pained by the effect of the 
riding crop.  Each time that it struck her body, she 
felt like screaming.  Still, she did not want to 
embarrass herself or her Mistress, and she now wished 
for the dignity of the ball gag.  She was hurting more 
deeply than she ever had before, or had ever dreamed 
possible.  She could now well believe the idea that 
women were crueler to each other than a man could 
possibly be towards a woman.

	Stephanie clearly knew how to hurt a girl, 
selecting each time a different part of her anatomy for 
the crop.  Still, she managed to avoid the clamps that 
pained her nipples and sex.  Janet clenched her 
fingers, digging her nails into her palms.

	In due time, her underarms, breasts, thighs, and 
legs all came under the crop.  Unlike Erica, Stephanie 
did not pause in her punishment of Janet.  She was 
totally devoted to her work.

	Soon tears escaped Janet's eyes, streaking down 
her face.

	The crop was a fearsome method of discipline, with 
each assault upon her body producing terrible pain and 
suffering.  Janet knew that every time it struck, it 
left a painful mark that would take days to heal.

	"Had enough?" asked Stephanie.

	"Yes, Mistress," Janet cried.

	"Good girl, you took the crop very well."

	Stephanie handed the crop back to Camille.

	"Now about those clamps.  Do you want them 
removed?"

	"Yes, Mistress.  Please," plead Janet.

	Stephanie reached out with her gloved hands and 
gently began to remove one nipple clamp.  When it was 
finally removed, Janet was surprised how much it hurt.

	"Owwww," cried Janet.

	Once the three other clamps were removed, Janet 
was a miasma of pain.  Her breasts and sex hurt from 
the clamps and the rest of her hurt from the punishment 
that she had received.

	"Thank you, Mistress," said Janet.

	Stephanie began to pinch Janet's inflamed nipples, 
then moved down to her pussy lips.  She cupped Janet's 
sex, then inserted her finger into Janet's cunt.

	"Ooooooh!" Janet cried.

	"Silence, slave," Stephanie commanded.

	"You're quite a little bondage slut," said 
Stephanie, "and rather wet between your legs."

	"Yes, Mistress."

	"Did you enjoy the riding crop?"

	"Yes, Mistress."

	"Good. Then I'm sure that we'll just get along 
fabulously, my dear.  Now what shall we do next?"

	Janet resigned herself to what promised to be a 
long night of torment.  If there were any other girls 
here that Stephanie would be attending to, she made no 
mention of them.  Janet was the sole girl in the 
Dungeon, and it would be her flesh that would bear all 
of the marks tonight!

	"What ever my Mistress desires," answered Janet.

	Just to increase her discomfort, Stephanie reached 
out again and pinched and twisted Janet's left nipple 
hard.  Janet shrieked in her bonds, amazed that her 
nipple could now be so tender.

	"There now," said Stephanie, "I guess that you're 
in the right mood now."

	"Yes, Mistress," cried Janet.

	"I guess we have to be equal, don't we," said 
Mistress Stephanie.

	She reached out and pinched and twisted Janet's 
right nipple.  Janet reacted the same way that she had 
before.

	"Thank you, Mistress," said Janet.

	"Good girl, I was afraid that you had forgotten 
your manners.  Now then, what shall I do next?"

	Janet said nothing, since she was the one who was 
going to be punished.  With her breasts and sex still 
tender from the clamps she did not want to give 
Mistress Stephanie any more ideas than she already had 
about what to do with her.

	"Camille, give me the whip, please," said 
Stephanie.

	"Yes, Mistress," Camille answered as she quickly 
produced the whip.

	The whip was a long, thin sinuous, piece of 
leather that Janet had learned to dread as a slave 
girl.  It would wrap itself around her, marking her 
skin.

	Stephanie flexed the whip in front of Janet, 
enjoying the distress that it caused on the face of the 
bound girl.  She did not offer the handle for Janet to 
kiss.  Rather, she merely flourished it several times 
before she struck Janet with it.  The thin leather 
wrapped itself around Janet's naked figure.

	Janet flinched under the impact of the whip, 
trying to escape as it wound its way around her.  It 
was to no avail, as Stephanie wanted Janet to know just 
how she could yield the whip.

	The whip was less exact than the crop had been, 
and it sometimes struck those areas that hurt from the 
clamps.  When it struck her nipple, or buried itself 
between her legs, Janet cried out from the impact.

	"Now then.  I see that I've reached your very 
core," said Stephanie.

	Janet chose not to reply, as Stephanie directed a 
stroke that landed on her sex at that moment.  Janet 
finally screamed conscious of the fact that Stephanie 
might enjoy her cries of distress.

	Droplets of sweat ran down Janet's naked bound 
body, running down between her breasts and down her 
legs.  Ever since she had been in the Dungeon, she 
realized that the lights were hot and bright, not 
subdued.  The room was hot, and it was no wonder that 
she was sweating.  Even though her legs had not been 
bound, Janet had managed to keep them open and her sex 
available so far.  By accident, she closed them.

	"Bad girl," said Stephanie.

	"Mistress?" asked Janet.

	"Since you can't keep your legs open, I'll have 
Camille keep them open for you.  Camille, get the 
spreader bar."    
  
	Camille did as she was instructed to and produced 
a spreader bar.  Stephanie bent down and locked it to 
Janet ankle bracelets.

	"There now, that should keep your legs open," said 
Mistress Stephanie.

	"Sorry, Mistress."

	"Such a little transgression, soon it will all be 
forgotten."

	Janet regretted the momentary loss of control.  
One of the first things that she had learned at 
Mistress Erica's hand was that a slave girl must always 
be available to her Mistress.  One her first night with 
another Mistress, she had let her attention wander for 
a moment.

	Stephanie struck out again with the whip, a little 
harder this time than before.  The insidious thing 
wrapped itself around Janet's bust, with the tip coming 
to rest on her pained nipple.

	"Owwww!" cried Janet.

	For the next few minutes, it seemed as if 
Stephanie was deliberately finding those places most 
tender from one punishment or another.  Janet knew that 
any pleading from her would be totally without effect.

	Suddenly, just when it seemed that her torment 
would continue forever, Stephanie suddenly stopped.  
She coiled the whip and offered the handle to Janet, 
who began to kiss it passionately.

	"Thank you, Mistress," said Janet.

	"Enough for one night.  Camille, could you see to 
Janet?  I'll be in the library."

	Stephanie handed the coiled whip to Camille, and 
she made her exit though the Dungeon door.

	"Are you all right?" asked Camille.

	"I'll survive," answered Janet.

	"Let me take you down," said Camille.

	In a few moments, Janet was on her feet again, 
rubbing her hands together and feeling down her legs 
where the crop and whip had left marks.

	"Stephanie likes to make out that she is a tough 
Mistress.  But she knows when to stop and never gets 
carried away before she does any real damage," said 
Camille.

	"What about those clamps?" asked Janet.

	"They didn't really hurt you, did they?"

	"Well, no.  Except that my Mistress doesn't use 
them."

	"You mean hasn't used them.  Every Mistress has 
the same toys and sooner or later gets around to using 
them on her girls.  It just takes time to use 
everything."

	"You sound like you're experienced," observed 
Janet.

	"I've been with Stephanie for four years."

	"As a slave?"

	"No, I was hired as a regular Maid.  But funny 
things happened.  Like even though I had a room, she 
would send me away.  Even pay for a hotel room. I got 
days off when I should have been working.  Finally, one 
night I came back by accident cause I left some clothes 
here, and I found Stephanie in the Dungeon doing a 
scene.  I was so shocked when she explained, and she 
tried to pack me off with a huge bribe.  But I stayed, 
and I asked to be trained after a while.  It just seems 
so normal now."

	Janet was stunned by the explanation that Camille 
had given her.  Somehow she had always thought that her 
way had been the only way.  But to discover that your 
employer was really a Mistress and then come join her!

	"Come on now, I've got to get you ready for bed.  
Time for a bath, you're a mass of sweat," said Camille.

	Janet, minus her high heels was then treated to a 
super hot bath that filled the bathroom with steam.  
The hot water made her welts sting, but she knew that 
was merely temporary and would really help them heal 
faster.

	Camille bathed her luxuriously, filling the tub 
with hot soapy water.  She forced Janet's hands away 
when she tried to wash herself.

	"I'll handle everything, you just sit back and 
relax," said Camille.

	In contrast to the severity of the discipline that 
she had received in the Dungeon, Janet now felt like 
she was being pampered in some salon.  She was given a 
hot bath, and her skin was tended to.  Her hair was 
washed, combed and set.  Her nails were even given a 
trim.  She was then given a massage, before Camille 
said that it was now time for bed.

	"This house doesn't have a cell downstairs for you 
to sleep in, so I'll be locking you in one of the 
bedrooms," said Camille.

	"I feel like I'm at a hotel," answered Janet.

	"Perhaps, but I never heard of a hotel with a 
Dungeon."

	"Not a bad idea, especially for someone who 
doesn't pay their bill," laughed Janet.

	Janet was taken to a bedroom.  Her collar was 
locked to a ring set in the wall, and she was told to 
buzz if she needed anything.  There was a clock on the 
dresser, and Janet was surprised to find that it was 2 
in the morning.  Had she really been in the Dungeon all 
that time?

	"Good night," said Camille as she turned out the 
light.

	"Good night," answered Janet.

	Naked under the covers, Janet tested the chain to 
her collar.  Her hands flew to her breasts and sex, and 
she found that she was still sexually charged as she 
fell into a deep dreamless sleep.
	*			*				*		
	*
	"Wake up, Janet."

	Janet heard Camille's voice through the fog of 
sleep.  She had been sleeping so deeply she had not 
felt the bright sunshine streaming through the window, 
warming her skin.

	"Where?"

	"You're in Mistress Stephanie's house.  Don't you 
remember?"

	"Oh, Mistress Stephanie," groggily answered Janet.

	"Come on now.  Got to get you ready for today.  
First we have to serve breakfast, then clean house.  
Get going, or else you can expect a thrashing.  And I 
don't like getting whipped in the morning!" said 
Camille.

	Serving in Stephanie's house proved little 
different from Erica's.  Both girls cooked and served 
their Mistress breakfast, with Camille wearing a red 
rubber Maid's outfit, stockings, and high heels.  Since 
she was just a slave, all that Janet wore were her high 
heels and bracelets.

	After serving Stephanie, both girls ate quickly in 
the kitchen.

	"Stephanie has her own subtle ways of making sure 
that we earn our punishment.  She's assigned us both 
tasks that we possibly can't finish today, all in order 
to have an excuse to punish us both later."

	"The rack?" asked Janet.

	"Probably.  She can't stripe us too much.  But she 
will find an excuse to use the rack, or that X frame to 
make life uncomfortable for us," said Camille.

	"You said last night that you weren't a slave 
originally.  Why did you stay then, after you had 
discovered just what your employer was up to?"

	"It's a long story.  Let's just say that my 
relationships have always proved to be a disaster.  
There's something different in being Stephanie's slave.  
A sense of belonging that I never felt before.  Even if 
it means getting a few stripes and a dildo up my pussy 
sometimes."

	"I got the impression last night that you rather 
enjoyed your predicament."

	"No more than you enjoyed being whipped last 
night.  Something that I'm rather well acquainted with 
myself," said Camille.

	Just as both girls had finished the breakfast 
dishes, they were both called before Stephanie.

	"In order to help your work today, I've decided 
that a little extra stimulation is in order.  Stand 
straight, and open your legs," ordered Stephanie.

	In quick succession, both girls found themselves 
wearing the familiar dildo harness.  First Janet, who 
winced when the belt was tightened around her waist, 
and then the strap was locked between her legs with the 
rubber phallus within.  Except that this one also had a 
clitoral stimulator that brushed her every time she 
moved!

	Under her Maid's outfit, Camille was relieved of 
the lacey panties that she wore.  The belt was locked 
around her waist, and she gasped when she saw that not 
only was there a rubber phallus, but also a butt plug.  
Stephanie fingered lubricant into her asshole, and drew 
the strap tightly inside Camille.  She gasped when the 
dildo first went inside her sex, then stood stiffly as 
the butt plug slid inside her as well.  Finally the 
strap was locked with a small padlock.

	"There now," said Stephanie.  "I'm sure that will 
help both you girls keep your mind on your work.  Now 
both of you, be off!"

	"Thank you, Mistress," they both said unison.

	Every few steps, indeed every motion, kept Janet 
in a constant state of erotic excitement.  It was 
impossible to stop the orgasms from coming one after 
another.  It was her job to clean silverware, dust, and 
wash floors.  Camille had the more difficult task of 
doing laundry and cleaning windows.

	Still, they both managed to get their tasks done.  
Janet struggled to keep her concentration, even when 
she fantasized herself ripping the belt from around her 
waist.  She wondered if there were any knives sharp 
enough in the kitchen to cut the tough leather of the 
belt.  But she would never do that, since the belt and 
the phallus were both extensions of the collar and 
bracelets that she wore.

	Lunch was a quick affair.  Camille served 
Stephanie, then they ate together.  They were both 
allowed use of the bathroom, then again locked in their 
harnesses.

	Getting into then the second time was easier than 
the first, and both went back to their jobs.

	Crash!  After cleaning a bowl that Janet had left 
on the kitchen countertop, she had by accident knocked 
into it and it fell to the floor.  Janet realized that 
she had done something, after being so careful all day, 
which would merit her a punishment of some kind.

	Damn! Thought Janet.  I'm going to get it now!

	The sound brought both Stephanie and Camille to 
the kitchen.

	"What happened?" asked Stephanie.

	"I broke a bowl, Mistress," said Janet.

	"Yes.  I can see that.  Please clean it up.  There 
will be a special punishment for you this evening," 
said Stephanie.

	Camille remained behind to help Janet clean up.

	"Well, I guess that it would have been one of us," 
said Camille.

	"I'm the new girl," said Janet, "so I'm supposed 
to be punished."

	"Camille!" called Stephanie, "get back to your 
work!  You know what will happen if you don't!"

	"Gotta go," said Camille.

	"Yes," said Janet.

	Janet was dejected and lonely while she cleaned up 
the ness that she had made.  Somehow, she had managed 
to avoid crying.  Even perched on the high heels and 
with the dildo inside her, she cleaned up all traces of 
the glass bowl from the kitchen floor.

	Dinner that Saturday night was strained.  Mistress 
first, slaves second.  Stephanie had not removed their 
harnesses, so the faces of both girls were flushed and 
excited during dinner and cleanup.

	After dinner, Stephanie had removed Janet's 
harness.  Her sex was dripping with her fluids after 
having worn the dildo all day.  Inexplicably, Camille 
was still wearing hers.

	"You know why she removed yours," began Camille 
when they were alone, "because she'll probably want to 
use your behind tonight."

	"I guess so.  At least I'm free for the moment," 
said Janet.

	"And you get to go home, don't you?  There's no 
Mistress around to dominate you seven days a week."

	"True. But I'll tell you a secret.  I bought 
myself a collar, bracelets, and high heels just like 
I'm wearing now at home.  I wear them at night during 
the week.  Maybe next I'll buy a gag and a harness.  
Just to keep myself amused."

	"You're really getting into this, aren't you?" 
asked Camille.

	"I guess I am."

	Janet was now used to the ritual of being gagged 
and blindfolded, her arms restrained behind her back, 
and finally leashed on her way to the dungeon.  
However, Stephanie introduced something new.  Just 
before she was blindfolded, Stephanie produced a 
leather strap that she fastened over Janet's elbows.  
She pulled the strap tight, finally buckling it secure.  
Then Janet lost her sight.

	When she heard a lock click shut, she knew that 
she was in the dungeon again.  She took one cautious 
step after another, and found that her leash was now 
locked onto something.

	Janet resigned herself to wait for whatever 
Mistress Stephanie would have in store for her next.  
In time, Janet's arms began to hurt.  Having her arms 
drawn backward and strapped together was something new, 
and she was not sure that she liked the sensation.

	Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, she 
heard the approach of two pairs of heels.  Without her 
sight, she had become adept at listening, and could 
distinguish when more than one person was walking.  At 
least if they wore high heels on a Dungeon floor!

	Janet blinked when the blindfold was suddenly 
removed.  Her eyes took some time to adjust to the 
bright lights.

	"Lonely, Janet?" asked Stephanie.

	All that Janet could do was stand in mute silence 
as Stephanie taunted her.  She shifted her position, 
and hoped that her elbow strap would be removed.

	"I think that a little light punishment is called 
for first before we move onto more serious things, 
don't you agree?"

	Janet nodded her head in assent.

	"Good.  Camille, get her ready and bent over the 
horse," ordered Stephanie.

	Janet was soon free of her gag, the elbow strap, 
and leash.  She thanked Stephanie, and was next bent 
over the horse, her arms and legs spread wide.  It had 
been the last position that her own Mistress had bound 
her in.

	"Ready, darling?" asked Stephanie.

	Stephanie had worn a simple black rubber bra that 
lifted up her breasts, a matching skirt, and thigh high 
rubber boots.  She flexed the riding crop again in her 
hands.

	"Yes, Mistress.  Please punish me."

	Stephanie began by using the crop's tip to land 
selective blows on Janet's behind.  First one ass cheek 
then another felt the impact of the crop.  The Dungeon 
echoed with each slap of the leather on her flesh.

	With her behind in the air, all Janet could do was 
pull without effect on her chains.  The steel and 
leather bracelets were unyielding, and she sometimes 
grunted each time that she felt the crop strike her 
behind.

	Still, the impacts seemed restrained and 
controlled.  Almost as if Mistress Stephanie was 
holding back for some reason that Janet did not know.  
Still, it was bad enough to have her behind punished.  
She would have a hard time sitting down at work all 
week!

	After twenty strokes, Stephanie halted.

	"Had enough, Janet?" asked Stephanie.

	"Yes, Mistress."

	"Good," said Stephanie as she rubbed Janet's 
behind, "your bottom is nicely red and warm.  I think 
that we'll just go on."

	"Thank you, Mistress."

	Janet stole a glance at Camille, and was surprised 
to see a look of jealously on her face!  After first 
criticizing Janet for being a bondage slave, maybe 
Camille wished that she were the one bent over the 
horse just now!

	Next, Stephanie produced a tube of lubricant and 
began to spread it around Janet's asshole.  Janet 
remained silent, not wishing to provoke the Mistress.

	"Since your pussy had the dildo inside all day, I 
think that we shouldn't let your other hole go 
unattended, hmmm?"

	Janet flinched when she felt a dildo slowly 
inserted into her behind.  She relaxed, remembering 
when her Mistress had calmed her as she used her finger 
to explore Janet's behind.  While she was tight at 
first, she gradually relaxed and the dildo found it's 
way inside her!

	"That's a good girl," said Stephanie.

	"Thank you, Mistress."

	If anyone had told her six months ago that she 
would be cropped and bound over a horse with a dildo up 
her ass, she would have told him or her they were 
crazy.  Instead here she was, calm as day, with the 
dildo stuck in her behind.

	Stephanie spread Janet's ass cheeks, and made sure 
that the dildo had penetrated far within.  Once she was 
satisfied that it was without doing any damage, she 
left it there for a while.

	She reached down and fondled Janet's nipples, 
which were already hard from all the excitement so far.  
She also reached in Janet's sex, and found that Janet's 
sex was wet.

	After what seemed like an eternity, Janet felt the 
dildo removed.  For some reason, Stephanie had donned a 
pair of rubber gloves, and then inspected her asshole 
like it was some medical examination!

	"Good," said Stephanie.

	"Mistress?" asked Janet.

	"Nothing, dear.  Now we shall proceed."

	Janet was then released from the horse, and her 
wrists were again locked behind her back.  She kept 
silent, since she did not want to incur Stephanie's 
anger.

	"Ever been on a rack, Janet?" asked Stephanie.

	"No, Mistress," Janet answered in a tiny voice.

	Janet had an instant dread of the rack.  She 
thought that tonight's special punishment for breaking 
the bowl was what she had just received on the horse.  
But now she was going to be stretched on the rack!  
Something that she had seen in numerous horror films!  
She was terrified of the idea that the thing could be 
used on her.

	Stephanie led Janet over to the rack.  Her wrists 
were released, and she was made to sit up on the 
device.  She then lay down, and spread her arms and 
legs until she was in the shape of an X.  Her cuffs 
were soon attached to bars, leaving her spread-eagled 
and helpless on the device.

	Lying flat on the rack, Janet knew that her 
torment was soon to come.  She had not resisted because 
she was darkly curious about the engine.  She wanted to 
know just what it would be like to be stretched and 
immobile on the thing, even if it would be painful.

	Janet realized that she had become like those 
bored, thrill starved people that did dangerous things 
for kicks.  Except that for her, it was B&D that 
excited her.

	"Ready, Janet?"

	"Yes, Mistress."

	Stephanie ran her left hand over the figure of the 
bound girl, only pausing to pinch her erect nipples and 
knead her wet sex.  The girl took easily to her 
slavery, and was willing to accept punishment eagerly.

	She walked in her high heels over to the head of 
the rack, and gradually pulled the big wheel.  Each 
time the wheel moved, the metal ratchet clicked once.  
This tightened the chain ever so slightly, reducing the 
slack and pulling Janet forward.

	Janet gradually felt the rack tighten it's grip 
upon her, as her hands were slowly pulled forward.  She 
could do nothing except to dig her nails into her 
palms, as the tension on her gradually increased.

	Each click brought new pressure on Janet, as she 
tried in vain to resist the rack.  It was truly 
implacable in nature, and she was helpless in its grip.

	"Well now.  Enjoying yourself, Janet?"

	Janet did not know what to reply.  She had not 
been stretched so far that it was painful just yet.  
But she imagined what the thing could do!

	"Do you know, some of my other girls really love 
the rack?  Why, they don't even regard it as a complete 
visit with me unless they've been stretched as you are 
now."

	"Yes, Mistress."

	"Would you like to know why I have such a thing in 
my house?" asked Stephanie.

	"Yes, Mistress."

	"One of my slaves, a very rich woman, always 
dreamed that she would be stretched on a rack.  She had 
it built, and made a present of it to me.  She was the 
first person that it was used upon," described 
Stephanie. 

	Janet sighed as she tried to adjust herself to the 
rack.  It was implacable in the way it held her, and 
all she could do was rub her bare behind on the 
polished wood surface.

	"You really are liking this, aren't you?" asked 
Stephanie.

	"Yes, Mistress."

	Stephanie paused to caress Janet again.  The rack 
had flattened her female figure somewhat, but Janet 
still responded to the touch of the Mistress's fingers.  
She traced the outlines of Janet's breasts and belly, 
then proceed again down to her sex.  Janet moaned with 
both pain and pleasure at the same time.

	"You know," began Stephanie, "throughout history, 
people have come to love their tormentors."

	"Yes, Mistress."

	"Do you love me?" asked Stephanie.

	"No, Mistress Stephanie.  I love Mistress Erica, 
who owns me."

	"Very good, Janet.  I would hate to think after 
just a couple of days with me, you would be ready to 
leave your true Mistress," said Stephanie.

	Stephanie then slowly resumed tightening the rack, 
and with each click the tension on Janet grew ever 
tighter.  Her entire body felt as if was being 
stretched.

	Looking down at herself, she was horrified to see 
that her chest had become flattened.  However, her 
nipples was hard and erect, and pointed up defiantly at 
the ceiling.

	Just when it seemed that her agony of the rack 
would go on forever, and Stephanie would never stop 
tightening the rack, the Mistress stopped.

	"Had enough?" asked Stephanie.

	"Yes, Mistress."

	"Would you like to be removed from the rack?"

	"Yes, please.  If my Mistress desires it," Janet 
answered.

	Janet was relieved when Stephanie clicked 
something in the rack and the tension on her limbs 
began to ease.  What had been agony for Janet a few 
seconds before had finally ended.

	"Thank you, Mistress!" cried Janet.

	"You're welcome, dear."

	Janet then watched as Stephanie unlocked her 
wrists and ankles from the chains that had held her to 
the rack.  She was free of the thing!

	"You may get up now, Janet.  Camille, help Janet 
to her room.  I think that she's had enough for 
tonight.  Then you may come to my bedroom."

	"Yes, Mistress," answered Camille.

	Stephanie left the Dungeon without saying another 
word.  Janet slowly pulled herself upwards, and sat on 
the wooden instrument.

	"How do you feel?" asked Camille.

	"About seven feet tall," Janet answered.

	"You'll be all right after a hot soak.  You really 
weren't in any danger, you know."

	"Why?" asked Janet, suddenly curious.

	"You should have read those plaques you were 
dusting today.  Stephanie is a full MD, who practiced 
for several years before retiring early."

	"That's why she was so careful with my asshole," 
concluded Janet.

	"Right, now lets get you bathed and ready for 
bed."

	Again Janet was bathed and massaged by Camille, 
who massaged the sore muscles on her back.  It felt 
just so good!

	"Just don't play tennis for a while," advised 
Camille.

	Camille locked Janet's collar to the chain hanging 
from the wall.  Janet was again captive.

	"What happens with you and Stephanie?" asked 
Janet.

	"It depends.  Perhaps she'll crop me a little, or 
I'll service her.  I may get invited into bed, or spend 
the evening chained on the floor at the foot of her 
bed.  It's something different each night."

	Janet became instantly jealous.  She had not yet 
been invited to share her Mistress's bed.  She longed 
for Erica's caress, and wanted to show her Mistress 
what she was now capable of.

	"Bye," said Camille.

	Janet silently cried herself to sleep that night.

Chapter Four Part Two: The Third Weekend

	Janet waited anxiously outside her building for 
the limo to come.  She was so impatient!  She wished 
that she could somehow sprout wings and fly away to 
Mistress Stephanie's house on her own, without having 
to be driven there.

	Last Saturday night, Stephanie had chained Camille 
in her bedroom, and invited Janet to share her bed.  Or 
so she had thought.  First, she had been made to kneel 
at her bedside while Stephanie attended to herself.  
Then, she had finally been asked to tongue Stephanie's 
pussy.

	Janet was certain that she had been doing a good 
job in getting Stephanie aroused (she certainly was) 
when the Mistress had suddenly called a halt.  Janet 
then found her hands locked behind her back and a red 
rubber ball gag tied around her neck.  She was then 
chained to the foot of the bed by her collar, and told 
that if she made a sound she would be made to wear the 
gag all night.

	Janet felt angry at her rejection by the Mistress!  
She knew that she had been doing a good job, and 
instead her reward was to lie chained at her bed all 
night!

	This weekend she was going to be the most 
submissive slave that she could be!  She was going to 
find some way to pierce that coldness that Stephanie 
displayed, and get into her bed.  No matter how jealous 
that made Camille.

	Finally, the limo pulled up and she was on her 
way.  All week she had planned what she was going to do 
to gain Stephanie's attention.  There had to be some 
way that she was going to be noticed, and Janet was 
going to find it!

	On the bridge there was a sudden traffic jam.  
Instead of breezing though (it was after rush hour) 
they sat on the bridge for over an hour as an 
overturned truck was cleared.  Finally they got 
upstate, and Janet looked in horror at the time on her 
watch.

	When they finally pulled up in front of 
Stephanie's house she was fully two hours late!  For 
failing to arrive on time, Janet knew that she would be 
subject to some horrible punishment and all her plans 
were useless.

	Still, she bravely walked up to the door.  Even 
though Stephanie knew that she was here, Janet had to 
ring the bell.  She saw the red lights of the departing 
limo, as it left on the driveway.

	The door was opened by Camille, who was wearing a 
red latex Maid's uniform.  Her waist seemed smaller 
than before, and Janet wondered if she was wearing a 
corset underneath the rubber.

	"You're late," commented Camille.

	"There was an accident on the bridge," said Janet 
as she entered the house.

	"Let me take your coat, and the rest of your 
clothes," directed Camille.

	In the hallway, Janet was divested of her clothes.  
On a table were all of the instruments of her 
confinement.  The collar, bracelets, leash, and ball 
gag all seemed so innocent until a naked slave girl 
wore them.  On the floor were her high heels, which 
Camille locked upon her feet.

	It took a few moments for Janet to once again wear 
her leather devices of slavery.  She stood still as 
Camille locked her wrists behind her back, then buckled 
the gag into her mouth.  Once the leash was attached, 
Janet was totally helpless.

	"Into the library," said Camille.

	Taking small steps behind Camille, whose latex 
outfit rustled whenever she moved Janet followed her 
companion.  Camille knocked before she entered the 
library.

	"Come in," said Stephanie's voice through the 
wooden door.

	Janet obediently followed behind, only to be 
embarrassed because Stephanie was not alone!  With her 
was another woman and they were both seated in front of 
the computer.

	"Ah, yes.  About time that you arrived, Janet," 
said Stephanie.

	"Who's this?" asked the stranger.

	"Not one of mine.  I'm minding her while her 
Mistress is away.  But she should have been here two 
hours ago.  Camille, bring her here, please!" demanded 
Stephanie.

	Camille quickly complied, and handed Janet's leash 
to Stephanie.

	"Now run along," ordered Stephanie.  "Blanca and I 
will amuse ourselves with Janet for a while."

	All that Janet could do was stand in mute 
embarrassment in the presence of the two women.  
Camille left quickly, her heels clicking on the wooden 
floor.

	"May I?" asked Blanca.

	"Go ahead," replied Stephanie.

	Blanca was an attractive woman, in her thirties.  
She had dark skin and an attractive figure.   She was 
wearing a black leather dress that hugged the curves of 
her body, stockings, and moderate black leather heels.  
She pulled her chair back from the computer, and walked 
over to Janet.

	"Now then, what do we have here?" asked Blanca as 
she tugged gently on Janet's leash.

	Janet had no alternative but to step towards 
Blanca as her leash was pulled.

	"Turn around," ordered Blanca.

	Janet turned around, with the only sounds in the 
library being the taps of her heels and the rustle of 
her leash.

	"She's been well used," observed Blanca.

	"What Erica didn't punish, I attended to," dryly 
commented Stephanie.

	"How does she take the whip?"

	"Some resistance, but after a few strokes, she's 
quite willing," Stephanie answered.

	Blanca then reached out and grabbed Janet's right 
breast, squeezing it firmly in her hand.  She tightened 
her grip so strongly that Janet squealed from behind 
her gag.  Then Blanca flicked Janet's nipple with one 
of her fingernails making Janet flinch, even though 
Blanca has still holding firmly onto her breast.

	"She needs additional control," said Blanca.

	"Perhaps with some additional training," observed 
Stephanie.

	Blanca then inspected Janet's sex.

	"Open your legs, slave," ordered Blanca.

	Janet complied, wondering just what her new 
tormentor would do next.

	"She needs to be shaved.  Whenever I train someone 
new, shaving a cunt makes her feel even more naked," 
said Blanca.

	"I'll tell Erica," said Stephanie.

	Blanca had released Janet's breast and was now 
probing her sex by inserting two fingers into her 
sheath and penetrating deeply.

	"She wets easily," observed Blanca.

	"Because she desires a Mistress," said Stephanie, 
"any Mistress."

	Janet shifted when she felt the walls of her sex 
being scraped by Blanca's fingernail.

	"Quiet," ordered Blanca.

	Janet submitted to the examination of her sex, 
staying quiet and in one position.  She knew that if 
she didn't, it would mean a punishment later.  She then 
felt the probing fingers withdraw, and relaxed.

	Blanca then turned Janet around, and she felt her 
back being examined.  Then her ass cheeks were pulled 
apart, and Blanca ordered her to bend over.  Janet felt 
demeaned by the examination that she was being given by 
the stranger, like she was merchandise on display!

	"A tight little hole.  Bet she hasn't been used 
there," said Blanca.

	"No, Erica said to leave her little behind alone.  
Besides, there's enough to do without going up her 
ass," said Stephanie.

	"I wouldn't want to go against Erica's orders.  
Still, not having her pussy shaved and not using her 
behind makes her one privileged little slave," said 
Blanca.

	"I would imagine that Erica will get around to 
those items sooner or later.  She usually does," 
observed Stephanie.

	"Shall we use her?" asked Blanca.

	"Sure.  You're my guest."

	"Here, or in the Dungeon?" questioned Blanca.

	"Here will do fine.  Andrea didn't clean the 
Dungeon from last night, which she will be soundly 
punished for.  I'm sure that we can make Janet feel 
quite uncomfortable here in the library," said 
Stephanie as she turned off the computer and rose from 
her seat.

	Stephanie unlocked a desk drawer, and proceeded to 
remove several items from within including chains, a 
riding crop, clamps, and a dildo and harness.
She pressed a switch on the desk, and part of the 
library wall turned around to reveal ringbolts to which 
someone might be secured.

	"Nice touch," said Blanca.

	"Useful when I don't want to confine someone in 
the Dungeon all the time.  This way I can work here, 
and attend to a slave also," said Stephanie.

	Janet's wrists were released, then locked again to 
the ringbolts above her head.  Then her legs were 
separated and locked also, making her vulnerable to 
what the two Dominants desired of her.  Janet's behind 
was against the polished wooden paneling of the wall, 
and she smelled the furniture polish.

	Blanca then removed the leash from Janet's collar, 
pausing only to pinch Janet's erect nipple.

	"She's quite ready," said Blanca.

	Stephanie handed her guest a riding crop that had 
a flat piece of heavy black leather at the tip, cut 
into a square.

	"Why don't you try this?" suggested Stephanie.

	Blanca bent the crop in her hands to test its 
stiffness, and flicked the leather at the end.

	"Yes, this will do quite nicely," said Blanca.

	Blanca then began by running her hands over 
Janet's spread-eagled form, pausing only to trace the 
outline of her breasts and sex.  Then Janet felt her 
thighs being examined, and Blanca feeling her muscles 
like she was a racehorse!

	Then Blanca started by lightly tapping the crop 
against her own leg, before first using on Janet's 
exposed form.

	The crop landed on Janet's left breast and stung, 
even though the leather distributed the force of the 
stroke over a large area.  Janet stiffened within her 
bondage, glad that the bracelets kept her firmly 
against the wall.

	Blanca did not stop after the first, but instead 
kept striking Janet's figure with the riding crop.  
Each time the leather impacted on Janet, the sound was 
heard in the library.  Janet could only moan from 
behind the ball gag, which had taken away her power of 
speech.

	"She takes the crop well," said Blanca.

	"Yes, I've noticed that too.  Erica must have a 
very good eye for choosing girls.  Just like that other 
one Sally, a natural for the whip."

	Janet's attention suddenly shifted from Blanca to 
Stephanie.  She said Susan!  Did that mean her friend 
Sally Belmar, who had introduced her to Erica, or 
perhaps another girl?

	"Some Doms have all the luck," said Blanca. "The 
last one I tried to train was willing, but 
unsatisfactory.  All she really wanted to do was wear 
latex and look sexy."

	"Well some girls are just fakes pretending that 
they're slave material," said Blanca.

	"While others are the real thing," finished 
Stephanie.

	"Yes, observed Blanca.

	Idly, Janet noticed that Blanca's exertions while 
cropping her had produced a fine sheen of sweat on her 
tormentor's face.  Blanca reached up with her free hand 
and wiped her brow, before delivering yet another 
series of punishing blows on Janet's naked skin.

	"Still, she has yet to be fully trained," said 
Blanca.

	"Once trained, she should wear someone's ring in 
her sex.  But that is for later, and besides, it's 
Erica's decision."

	"Mmmmph!" cried Janet from her gag.

	Blanca reached forward and inserted her finger 
into Janet's sex, and found that she was quite wet.  
She removed her finger, and showed the proof to Janet 
herself.

	"You're quite the bondage slut, you know.  I think 
that you've already passed the point where you may 
never think of sex without bondage, hmmm? Asked Blanca.

	In spite of her best efforts, it was hard not to 
be aroused by her punishment in the library.  She only 
wished that Blanca would do something else, as the crop 
had struck her breasts many times.

	"Enough," said Blanca, pausing.

	"Not quite," said Stephanie, rising from her 
chair.

	Stephanie was dressed in an old shirt, and worn 
blue jeans.  She took the crop from Blanca, and 
proceeded to use it between Janet's legs!

	The strokes were not hard, but each time that the 
leather pad struck Janet's thigh, it was like a small 
bolt of lightning coursed through her.  Try as she 
might, Janet knew that she was driven to climax many 
times by the crop.

	"Mmmmmph!"

	"That's much better," said Stephanie.  "Now she's 
really in the mood."

	"What's next?" Asked Blanca.

	"She's yours, remember," answered Stephanie.

	"How about the footstool?"

	"Good choice.  Girls just love the stool.  
Nothings more erotic than being tied down to the 
footstool, rubbing their breasts against it while I 
thrash their behinds," stated Stephanie.

	In short order, Janet was released from the wall, 
and led, still gagged, over to the footstool.  She 
recalled the first time that she had entered 
Stephanie's house, and seen Camille bound on the stool.  
Now it would be her turn!

	Then she was quickly secured with ropes on her 
elbows and knees.  Just to make certain that they were 
tight, Blanca cinched her bonds by adding an additional 
loop at 90 degrees to the strands that already her 
Janet to the stool's legs.

	"There now, that should hold you," said Blanca.

	Both dominants paused to admire Blanca's 
handiwork, and Stephanie patted Janet's behind gently.

	"Do you have a paddle?" Asked Blanca.

	"Sure," said Stephanie.

	Stephanie produced not only a black leather 
paddle, but also the same dildo that Janet had seen 
used on Camille when she had been bound to the stool.

	"Do you want to test her?" asked Stephanie.

	"Yes.  Though given how wet she is, I doubt that 
she'll be able to hold the dildo inside," said Blanca.

	Blanca took the dildo, and knelt down behind 
Janet's upturned behind.  The Janet winced as she felt 
two fingers open her sex, and the rigid dildo's tip was 
slowly inserted.  She tried to pull away, and bucked as 
the invader slowly entered her sex.  Even though she 
resisted, Blanca had no trouble inserting the phallus 
since Janet was already excited by what she had 
received so far.

	Blanca pushed the dildo inside Janet, until Janet 
was squirming and fighting.  It felt like the dildo was 
splitting her in two before Blanca stopped forcing it 
in.

	"That's good," said Blanca, "now you keep that 
inside while I punish you, or else!"

	Janet's cunt muscles were firmly clamped around 
the phallus, after having had the thing pushed inside 
her.  With her behind sticking up in the air, she knew 
that it would be there that the paddle would be used.

	Crack!

	Janet was unprepared for the first strike of the 
paddle.  She had thought that Blanca would somehow ease 
into using the new instrument, but instead she had 
delivered a truly punishing bow with her first stroke.  
It was only with the greatest effort that she 
maintained control and managed to hold the phallus 
within.

	Blanca then continued to punish first one buttock, 
then the other.  Janet rubbed her bound nakedness 
against that black leather of the stool, and found 
herself only getting further aroused by her efforts.

	"Why didn't you test her with the paddle first?" 
asked Stephanie.

	"Because she's a slave, and should be used to 
punishment by now," answered Blanca.

	Janet knew that her behind must be red by now, and 
she felt her punished skin slowly heat up with every 
impact of the leather paddle.  She bit down on her gag, 
and stifled a cry.

	Blanca paused and wiped her brow.

	"Why don't you get out of that dress?" asked 
Stephanie.

	"Not yet.  The only time I will take this dress 
off will be for bed."

	Blanca reached down between Janet's legs, and made 
sure that the dildo was still firmly inserted in 
Janet's sex.  When she gently shifted the shaft 
slightly, Janet was unable to contain a moan, which was 
the only sound in the library.

	"She certainly has control for one so untrained," 
commented Blanca.

	"Perhaps you should test her further," advised 
Stephanie.

	Both Dominants were suddenly startled by a knock 
on the door.

	"Come in," ordered Stephanie.

	Camille appeared, still in her Maid's outfit.

	"The Dungeon has been cleaned, Mistress," said 
Camille.

	"Good, I'll be down to inspect it later.  Blanca 
will not need you tonight, but perhaps I will, after I 
have inspected your work.  Now go!"

	"Yes, Mistress," Camille answered before 
departing.

	Blanca then continued to punish her behind again, 
heating up the flesh to such a degree that Janet knew 
that she would have a hard time sitting down at work 
all week.  She was sure that her ass was bright red, 
and that the flesh was blistering from the many impacts 
that she had endured.

	"Mmmmmph!" cried Janet.

	Still the paddle struck her flesh, and she began 
to cry.  Would there be no end to this singular form of 
discipline?

	Blanca inspected her work by rubbing her hands 
again Janet's skin.  Janet flinched when she felt how 
cold in comparison Blanca's hands were against her 
heated behind.

	Still, the dildo remained inside!  Janet was sure 
that she would suddenly lose control and it would slip 
out in the excitement.

	"There now girl," soothed Blanca, "almost done."

	Janet wondered if her behind was again going to be 
paddled, but instead felt Blanca's hands reach upwards 
to her breasts.  Then her nipples were fondled and 
pinched, and Janet again squirmed against the leather.

	"Mmmmmph!"

	"Not yet," said Blanca.

	Janet felt herself explode in a series of orgasms 
that came one after another.  She rubbed against the 
leather like a cat in heat, and tried to draw in all 
the air she could through her nose.  She felt like she 
would have passed out.

	Finally, it was over!  She relaxed against the 
leather, and after collecting her wits, realized that 
the dildo was still inside her!

	Blanca then reached between Janet's legs and 
pulled the dildo out, which was glistening with Janet's 
juices.  Janet watched, quite curious, what would 
happen to her next!

	"You have excellent control," pronounced Blanca.

	"Mmmmph!"

	"Would you like me to remove her gag?" asked 
Stephanie.

	"Yes, I think that she's earned it," said Blanca.

	Janet felt Stephanie's fingers pull the leather 
strap from roller buckle and their tension was suddenly 
released.  The ball was removed, and Janet breathed 
deeply.

	"Thank you, Mistress," said Janet between gasps.

	"It's quite late," said Blanca.

	"What do you want next?" asked Stephanie.

	"I'd like to have her for night, if that's all 
right with you," said Blanca.

	"Certainly."

	Janet found herself quickly released from her 
footstool, with the rope straps uncoiled on the floor.  
She was made to coil them up neatly on the desk, placed 
next to the paddle, ball gag, and riding crop.

	Then her hands were locked behind her back, and 
she was pulled along by Blanca inserting a finger 
through a D ring on her collar.

	"Don't forget the key for her shoes," cautioned 
Stephanie, "I don't want my sheets torn."

	"Sorry," answered Blanca.

	Stephanie handed Blanca a set of keys, as if she 
were giving away a set of car keys.

	"Enjoy yourself," said Stephanie.

	Janet was pulled along to a bedroom, and was not 
surprised to see her locked to the foot of a four 
poster bed.  She watched in silence as Blanca zipped 
herself out of the leather dress and placed it on a 
hanger she removed from the closet.  Her tormentor was 
wearing a set of lacy black feminine underwear, and 
stockings with a garter belt.  Soon, she was nude.

	"That's better," said Blanca.

	"You're quite beautiful, Mistress," commented 
Janet.

	"Thank you.  You're quite a good little girl for 
having kept the dildo inside you.  Therefore, I've 
decided to use you for the night."

	"Thank you, Mistress."

	Janet expected that they would both bathe first, 
and Blanca would make Janet serve as her bath girl in 
the process.  Instead, she was quickly unlocked 
including her shoes, and both got between the sheets.  
Her collar to the bedpost locked Janet, which was her 
only method of confinement.

	While Janet had only made love before to Tiffany, 
Blanca quickly devoured her.  The Dominant consumed her 
hurt flesh, bringing Janet again and again to orgasms, 
making her body buck and shake with each climax.

	Then Janet had to service Blanca's cunt, which she 
did to the best of her ability.  Blanca didn't 
complain, only pulling at Janet's hair to force her 
deeper in her willing sex.

	Finally, both were worn out and Janet glanced at 
the clock, which read 3 AM.  She glanced at Blanca, and 
saw that the Dominant was asleep with soft snores 
coming from her body.

	The sheets were damp with their sweat and juices, 
and Janet felt dirty yet fulfilled.  She had finally 
satisfied a Mistress!

	Saturday morning started unusually for Janet.  
Unlike before, Janet and Camille were responsible for 
bathing and dressing both Stephanie and Blanca.  Janet 
used everything that she had been taught both in 
Erica's and Stephanie's house to attend to the Mistress 
and her guest.  She did her duties naked, and wished 
that she could take a quick shower, but had to wait.  
Camille was dressed in a black latex Maid's outfit, 
which was surely uncomfortable to wear in the hot and 
steamy bathroom.

	After both women were cleaned and dressed, they 
went downstairs.  Janet was finally alone with Camille.

	"I'm to give you a quick bath, then you're to be 
dressed in a uniform like mine," said Camille.

	For Janet, a quick bath in reality meant a long 
time soaking in a hot and steamy tub.  The hot water 
both stung and soothed her aching flesh and she again 
felt every stroke of the paddle and whip.

	Camille then took her into one of the bedrooms and 
dressed her in a uniform similar to hers.  She wore a 
rubber panty and bra underneath, plus her usual high 
heels.  She stood still as Camille zipped her into the 
uniform.

	Camille then changed her own uniform that had 
become hot and sweaty with her work.  She gave herself 
a quick birdbath as Janet knelt in the bedroom.

	"Ready?" asked Camille.

	"It's a little strange wearing clothes again," 
said Janet.

	"You'll get used to this, I imagine," laughed 
Camille.

	"My brother was in the wrestling squad in high 
school.  He had a rubber outfit that he used to wear 
just prior to a match so he could quickly lose some 
weight to get an advantage over someone in a lesser 
weight class.  After he quit the squad, I used to wear 
it also," said Janet.

	"Did it make you feel sexy?" asked Camille.

	"Not like this," said Janet, admiring herself in 
the mirror.

	"We're supposed to serve both Mistresses today, 
with you properly dressed so don't make any mistakes!  
I don't want to have to work all day with a dildo 
inside me!  Okay?"

	"Yes, Mistress," answered Janet.

	For that Saturday, Janet worked in her latex 
uniform serving as a Maid.  She again helped Camille 
with all of the housework and cooking.  She didn't say 
anything when they made Stephanie's room up, though she 
could guess what had happened there the previous night 
by the bed's condition.

	She could smell the sweaty sheets and the juices 
on the bed, and knew that Camille and her Mistress had 
been in bed together.  Under the bed, she found a dildo 
and riding crop, and gave them to Camille.

	"Good, I've got to store these away," said 
Camille.

	"You told me that you were hired just as a regular 
Maid. Then why did you stay after........."

	"After I found out about Stephanie's unusual 
interests?  Maybe I was bored, or looking for something 
different.  In any event, I found what I wanted," said 
Camille.

	The two women did all the cooking and cleaning 
together, and Janet found that working in a latex 
uniform made her feel sexy and interesting.  Whenever 
she moved, she loved the rustle of the latex, and the 
way it clung to her figure.  The heat of her body 
generated sweat, which somehow made her feel even more 
excited.  Soon, the uniform had molded itself to her 
figure.

	Remarkably, neither Dominant decided to use either 
slave during the day.  Janet wondered if during the 
week, Stephanie amused herself with Camille.  Thus both 
of them were able to get their work done without any 
interference.

	Finally, Dinner came and Camille cooked and Janet 
served.  She did everything that Camille had told her 
to, and it seemed to go all right.  She managed not to 
spill anything throughout the entire meal.

	When the dining room was cleared both Dominants 
rose and left for the library.

	"Please join us in ten minutes," said Stephanie.

	"Yes, Mistress," answered Camille and Janet in 
unison.

	Janet eyed Camille silently.  What was going to 
happen tonight?  Would she again be subjected to 
something new and different in the Dungeon, or would 
she be punished as before?

	Both slaves entered the library as instructed and 
stood silently awaiting instructions.

	"Camille, I want you to go with Blanca to the 
Dungeon to get ready.  Janet, I want you to stay with 
me for a while," ordered Stephanie.

	After they were left alone, Janet stood in silence 
as she awaited her next command from her Mistress.

	"Janet, come to the desk, please?" asked 
Stephanie, who was seated behind it.

	"Yes, Mistress," answered Janet as she did what 
she was instructed.

	Stephanie removed the instruments of a Dominant.  
The ballgag, riding crop, whip, clips, and cuffs.

	"Tell me, Janet.  Have you ever handled a riding 
crop before?" asked Stephanie.

	"I rode a horse once.  They gave them out, but I 
never had to use it."

	"What happened?"

	"I fell off the horse."

	Stephanie laughed.

	"And are you familiar with any of these objects, 
or have any at home?  Tell me, you're not allowed to 
keep secrets from your Mistress."

	Janet choked.  She had never told Erica that she 
had gone to shops in New York City and purchased cuffs 
and heels that she wore at night.  Would this earn her 
a beating?

	"Since I became a slave to Mistress Erica, I went 
and purchased a set of cuffs and a collar to wear when 
I'm naked at home.  It's comforting, and reminds me of 
Erica," confessed Janet.

	"Good.  I'm sure that Erica will be glad to know 
that you think of her even when you're not in the 
Dungeon," said Stephanie.

	"Thank you, Mistress," answered Janet.

	"Pick up the crop," ordered Stephanie.

	"Mistress?" questioned Janet.

	"Pick up the crop," again ordered Stephanie, "or 
do I have to strike your behind with it?"

	Hesitantly, Janet reached out and grasped the 
leather handle.  She picked up it with her right hand 
grasping the handle.  With her left, she ran her 
fingers over its entire length.

	"You can flex it," said Stephanie, "it won't 
bite."

	Doing as she was told, Janet imitated Stephanie's 
motions with the crop.

	"How long have you been a slave, Janet?" asked 
Stephanie.

	"Five months," Janet answered.

	"During that time, have you ever wondered just 
what it might feel to hold a crop, or to use it on 
someone else?  Answer me and be truthful," questioned 
Stephanie.

	"Yes, Mistress.  I've often thought about how it 
might feel if I used a riding crop," admitted Janet.

	"Would you like to?" asked Stephanie.

	"Mistress!" exclaimed Janet.

	"Come now.  You've enough stripes on your flesh.  
Wouldn't you like to administer some on another slave 
girl?" asked Stephanie.

	Janet was struck speechless.  Sure, she had 
fantasized about it, except that she knew the pain that 
she would be causing if she wielded the crop herself.  
There was no way that she would ever want to inflict 
pain on someone, especially not another slave girl!

	"If you don't reply, there's at least twenty 
strokes for you with my most painful crop," said 
Stephanie.

	"I wouldn't like to whip someone else, Mistress," 
Janet replied cautiously.

	"Would you rather take the punishment yourself, 
then?"

	"What punishment?" asked Janet.

	"Earlier, Camille made a mistake today.  I told 
her that she would get punished for it.  It doesn't 
matter who administers the strokes, just so long as it 
gets done.  I am offering her to you, just for tonight.  
Will you accept my offer, or get double hers?"

	"Mistress?" Janet was unable to decide what to do!

	"Decide, Janet.  Either I punish you severely, or 
you punish Camille.  It's all part of being a slave.  
And I'll tell Erica what a disobedient slave you were, 
especially on your last night with me," cautioned 
Stephanie.

	The words choked in Janet's mouth, not the crop 
again for her!

	"Decide!"

	"Mistress, I'll punish Camille," said Janet in a 
low voice.

	"Speak louder," Stephanie ordered.

	"Mistress, I'll punish Camille," Janet repeated.

	"Good, that wasn't so hard," said Stephanie as she 
rose from behind her desk.

	"Mistress?" asked Janet, not sure what was to 
happen next.

	"Come now, you have to get dressed.  You can't 
dominate someone dressed in a Maid's uniform with 
collar and bracelets," said Stephanie.

	Earlier that day, it had been Camille and Janet 
that had bathed and prepared Stephanie and Blanca.  
Now, the role was somewhat reversed as Janet was 
ushered to a bedroom, and was quickly divested of her 
shoes, collar and bracelets.  Next, the rubber uniform 
came off, and had to be peeled slowly from Janet's 
form.

	Finally came the rubber bra and panties, and Janet 
had a hard time removing them, as they had stuck to her 
skin.

	"I have another set like this," began Stephanie, 
"That have nubs inside the bra cups and crotch to keep 
you excited.  Perhaps you'll get to wear them on your 
next visit.  I often make Camille wear them, just to 
keep her excited all day."

	"Yes, Mistress."

	"Now take a quick shower, and we'll get ready," 
ordered Stephanie.

	Doing as she was told, Janet bathed quickly under 
a hot shower.  She felt like the sweat from the rubber 
was melting off from her.

	When she emerged, Stephanie dried her off, and 
helped with her hair.  She selected a leather skirt, 
bra, thigh high black boots, and long opera gloves, all 
in black leather for Janet.  Putting them on made Janet 
feel very strange, since she was now wearing the 
clothing of a Dominant instead of a slave!

	For herself, Stephanie wore a sleeveless black 
leather Catsuit.  Janet helped Stephanie into it, and 
zipped it up the back.  She wore a pair of five-inch 
heels to compliment the outfit.

	"There now," said Stephanie, "Don't we look better 
than being naked?"

	"Yes, Mistress," said Janet as she admired herself 
in the full-length mirror.

	"Come now," ordered Stephanie.

	"No blindfold, Mistress?" asked Janet.

	"Blindfolds are for slaves," answered Stephanie.

	When they arrived in the Dungeon, Janet was not 
surprised to see just what Stephanie had ordered.  
Camille was chained as Janet usually was.  She was 
naked, and wore a collar and bracelets.  The bracelets 
were locked to spreader bars, which spread-eagled 
Camille into the shape of an X.  She was wearing a 
blindfold and ball gag.

	Blanca had changed into a latex bodysuit and high 
heels, which hugged every curve of her figure.  She 
stood silently, waiting next to her handiwork.

	"Good job, Blanca," complimented Stephanie.

	"Thank you, Stephanie."

	Stephanie had instructed Janet to remain silent 
when they entered the Dungeon.  She pointed to Camille, 
and shook her head up and down, indicating yes.

	Hesitantly, Janet strode over to Camille.  She saw 
how the Maid was now confined and stretched as she had 
normally been.  Janet saw how her breasts stuck out, 
and each rib below the skin was visible.  How Camille 
bore the many stripes of her slavery to Stephanie.

	Stephanie motioned for her to begin.  Janet 
started by gently stroking Camille's breasts, pulling 
at them and pinching her erect nipples.  She then 
traced the furrow between her breasts directly down to 
her sex.  She toyed with her pubic hair, pulling at the 
soft strands.  This made Camille flinch within her 
chains.  Walking around, she gently felt Camille's back 
with her fingers, finally ending there by pulling her 
buttocks apart and seeing her anus.

	Becoming bolder, she circled around to the front.  
She then cupped Camille's sex with one hand, and slowly 
inserted one finger into her furrow.  This made Camille 
stiffen within her chains, and Janet could see the girl 
tense as her digit invaded her.

	"Continue," ordered Stephanie.

	Janet returned to pinching Camille's nipples, 
seeing how excited and flushed she had become from her 
earlier examination.  Camille, like Janet, had been 
well trained to respond to her Mistress.

	Janet then walked to Camille's back and unbuckled 
her blindfold and ball gag.  Camille blinked several 
times to adjust to the bright lights and saw that it 
was Janet who had been fondling her!

	"Mistress?" asked Camille.

	"I've decided that Janet should use you tonight, 
Camille."

	"Yes, Mistress."

	"Good. Proceed, Janet," ordered Stephanie.

	Selecting a riding crop with a broad leather tip, 
she circled Camille.  For the first time, it wasn't 
Janet that was going to receive punishment.  This time, 
she was holding the crop, and she was going to use it.

	She administered her first stroke with a gentle 
slap on Camille's outer thigh.  It produced a barely 
audible thwack in the silence.

	Before Stephanie could order her, Janet slowly and 
with ever increasing force began to strike at that 
exposed parts of Camille's nakedness.  She struck her 
breasts and nipples, making Camille flinch within her 
chains.  Then she stuck at Camille's flat belly, 
leaving a few red marks around her belly button.  Then 
she laid a few between Camille's thighs, slapping the 
crop from one side to another.

	Satisfied, and confident that the crop would not 
explode into flame because a slave was handling it, 
Janet became more adventurous.  She walked around, and 
proceeded to strike at Camille's behind.  She left many 
red marks on the Maid's behind.

	Janet loved the feel and the smell of the leather 
that she was wearing.  It interacted with her own 
sweat, and Janet resolved that she would buy clothing 
like this to wear at home.  She knew that she was 
excited by what she was doing.  Janet knew that she was 
very wet with excitement.

	The day before, she had been tied onto the 
footstool getting cropped with a dildo inside her sex.  
Now she was the Dominant, and it felt very different!

	"You may use what instruments you desire," said 
Stephanie.

	Janet walked over to an open cabinet.  Within, she 
saw a coiled whip, clamps, a dildo, and many other 
things.  She grabbed a handful of clamps, and went back 
to attend to Camille.

	Without saying a word, she placed on clamp on 
Camille's right nipple.  She gradually tightened the 
device until it stayed of it's own accord.  Then she 
applied another to the left nipple.  She then applied 
two more to Camille's outer lips of her sex.

	"Mistress, please," plead Camille.

	"Do you want more?" asked Janet, suddenly.

	"No, Mistress," replied the chain girl.

	Janet pulled at the clamps that she had placed on 
Camille's flesh.  Each time she did so, Camille 
flinched in her chains.  She pulled to get away, but 
the chains were implacable.  What could a naked girl do 
against steel and leather?

	When she went to remove the coiled whip from the 
cabinet, Stephanie told her that since she was not 
trained in it's use, she should remove the clamps 
first.  Doing as she was ordered to, Janet then tested 
the whip by striking out into empty air.

	"Ready for the whip?" asked Janet.

	"Yes, Mistress," Camille answered.

	Janet began again by striking slowly and softly.  
She didn't want to hurt Camille, not really, but she 
did want to show Stephanie that she was serious about 
the whip.  With each stroke, the whip curled itself 
around Camille's naked form.

	Janet saw the marks that she was leaving, and knew 
just how long before they would heal.  Since Camille 
had been a slave for a long time, they were just one of 
many that were already there.

	She struck silently, circling and never striking 
the same place twice.  Her aim was inexperienced, so 
her strokes often landed where she did not expect them 
too.  Still, Camille's sex and breasts often received a 
stroke, making her squeal and moan.

	Janet continued carefully, aware that every move 
she was making was under the observation of both 
Stephanie and Blanca.  She did not use the full force 
of her arm with each stroke, since that would wound 
Camille.  Instead, she cracked the whip with just 
enough force to leave a red mark.

	After what seemed like an eternity, she inspected 
her efforts.  Tears ran down Camille's cheeks, and her 
makeup was streaked.  Her body was covered in red marks 
from Janet's whip and crop.

	Janet then coiled the whip and presented the 
handle to Camille.

	"Kiss it," ordered Janet, "or else they'll be a 
few more."

	"Yes, Mistress," said Camille as she kissed the 
whip handle.

	Janet then inserted her fingers again into 
Camille's sex, and found that she was even more wet 
than before.  Finally, she pinched Camille's nipples 
again before she decided that she was finished.

	"I'm done, slave," Janet said.

	Janet walked back over to Stephanie and handed her 
the whip, handle first.

	"Thank you, Mistress," said Janet.

	"Very good, Janet.  You show promise, no matter 
what side of the whip you're on," said Stephanie.

	Janet felt deep inside her that something had 
changed.  Still, that night she spent the evening alone 
chained in a bedroom.  Her hands had been linked to her 
collar so that she couldn't touch herself.  Janet 
ground her thighs together, wanting release from her 
frustration.  But that had been denied to her by 
Stephanie.

"Janet in Training" by sfmaster@worldnet.att.net
Chapter Five: Return to Erica

Part One: Friday
											
		The following weekend, Janet had her usual 
date with Mistress Erica.  After her time with 
Stephanie, she wondered how she would feel about seeing 
her original Mistress again.  There was no doubt that 
she had an exciting time with Stephanie.  What could 
she say about a three-week period in which she had been 
treated as a slave girl, then given the opportunity to 
dominate another slave girl?  In all of her time so 
far, she had never had such an interesting and painful 
time.

	She rubbed her new marks for days afterwards, 
amazed that the angry red welts could fade.  She 
remembered the pain that she had undergone when they 
were inflicted.

	Even though Stephanie had made no secret of the 
fact that she was a harsh Mistress, Janet had enjoyed 
her stay with her.  Stephanie had taken Janet even 
further into the concept of slavery.  Janet had to 
admit to herself that she found the idea exciting.

	Janet wondered to herself just what further 
torments that Stephanie would be inflicting on Camille 
in the days to come.  Stephanie had said that Camille 
was to be punished for something, and that her 
discipline was not yet complete.  It had been part of 
Stephanie's design to shame Jessica by having Janet 
discipline her.

	She had arrived at the house at the usual time, 
being driven up by limo.  Even before she could ring 
the bell, the front door opened to admit her.

	"Janet, how nice to see you again," welcomed 
Erica.

	Janet entered the house, and handed her coat to 
Andrea, who was standing in the foyer.  She looked at 
the Mistress and her Maid, and suddenly realized that 
nothing had changed between herself and Erica.  It was 
a sharp observation when she thought that even though 
she had been with another Mistress, it was still Erica 
that she belonged to.

	"Mistress, I......."

	"I know just how you feel, Janet.  Come and sit 
down in the library, I know that you probably have a 
lot to tell me."

	The two sat down in the library, with Janet 
looking for a leather covered footstool.  Andrea had 
wheeled in a tray with tea, and stood waiting.  Erica 
motioned for her to serve, and she poured two cups, one 
for Erica and then one for Janet.  Then she stood 
again, silent.  Janet thought that Andrea would be 
standing in attendance as she discussed her time with 
Stephanie.

	"Andrea, please leave us.  You may prepare for the 
evening, and attend to our guest downstairs," ordered 
Erica.

	"Yes, Mistress," answered Andrea, who bowed and 
left.

	They were alone.  Janet had thought carefully all 
week just what she would say to Erica.  Now that they 
were together again, all that she wanted to say had 
been quickly forgotten.

	"Mistress, I.....want to talk to you," began 
Janet.

	"Yes, Janet," answered Erica.

	"Mistress, when I was with Mistress Stephanie, I 
was unfaithful to you.  I said that I loved her and her 
whip, and I liked the way that she was tormenting me," 
Janet replied, her words broken by sobs.

	"Janet, it is not uncommon for a new slave girl to 
be quickly attached to a new and different kind of 
Mistress.  What you have to realize is that what you 
love are the chains that you wear.  And you will like 
being punished, no matter how harsh."

	"Mistress, I was given the opportunity to 
discipline another slave girl," offered Janet.

	"Camille?"

	Janet was not surprised by Erica's answer.  Since 
the two dominants were friends, there were probably no 
secrets between them.

	Janet merely nodded her head in assent.

	"I know about Camille.  I have even dominated her 
myself when Stephanie was out of town.  You should feel 
honored.  Few slave girls get the chance so early to 
punish another slave.  Now you know how it feels to 
dominate another.  Since you are still a new slave, I 
shall have to punish you harshly to beat out any ideas 
you may have that you are now different or special."

	"Yes, Mistress," answered Janet.

	"However, I am far more concerned about what 
Stephanie told me about your little confession.  I want 
to hear everything that you are doing at home.  Now!"

	"Mistress, after becoming your slave girl, I found 
that just being here on the weekends wasn't enough.  I 
work in New York City, so I began to explore.  I found 
a shop that sold high heels like those you lock upon 
me, along with collar and bracelets.  So I bought them, 
and wear them naked around the apartment," Janet 
confessed.

	"Is there anything else you've bought?" Erica 
demanded.

	"No, Mistress," Janet answered.

	"You did this without my orders.  For that, you 
will be severely punished," admonished Erica.

	"Yes, Mistress."

	"And was there anything else you were planning on 
buying?"

	"Yes, Mistress.  I wanted a dildo harness for 
myself, and a latex Maid's uniform," Janet admitted.

	"You haven't earned the privilege of wearing 
clothes yet.  Nor do I want you stimulated except when 
you are here with me.  Do you understand?"

	Erica's voice had suddenly turned cold and 
menacing.  Janet feared that she had angered her 
Mistress, and she knew that she was going to pay a 
terrible price for it!

	"Yes, Mistress.  I will follow all your commands."

	"Though I suppose some of this is my fault, since 
I haven't given you a set of instructions to follow at 
home.  I never thought that you would be such a little 
slut to begin playing at slavery at home," said Erica.

	"Yes, Mistress."

	"That will be remedied later.  For now, strip!" 
commanded Erica.

	Janet had been listening carefully to Erica's 
lecture, and she was totally unprepared for the command 
at the very end.  Suddenly they were no longer sinner 
and confidant, but Mistress and Slave.

	"Strip!" ordered Erica again, displeasure clearly 
evident in her voice.

	Janet quickly got to her feet.  She knew that this 
would occur, and she had planned for it carefully.  She 
had worn a blouse, skirt, stockings, and sensible 
heels.  She unbuttoned her skirt, folding it carefully 
on the chair.  Next came her blouse.  She removed her 
shoes, and the garter belt and stockings came next.  
Finally, she removed her bra and panties, and stood 
silent and naked in front of her Mistress.

	Erica rose slowly, and paced around Janet.  She 
noted that Stephanie had indeed placed new and deeper 
marks on her slave's body.  Placing a finger on one, 
she traced one mark how it followed Janet's curves.

	The only reaction that Janet gave to her 
inspection was to stand stiffly.  Even though her marks 
were still fresh, she did not flinch when Erica felt 
them.

	Erica did not have to be told what her friend had 
used on Janet.  She knew that Stephanie had obeyed her 
instructions, and only the whip and crop had been used.

	"Did you go on the rack?" asked Erica.

	"Yes, Mistress."

	"And how was your time on the rack, dear?"

	"I found the rack to be very unpleasant, 
Mistress," answered Janet.

	"Good.  Then perhaps at a future time, I will hand 
you back to Stephanie so that you may experience the 
rack again.  Would you like that?" asked Erica.

	"I'm sure that Stephanie would enjoy having me 
again, Mistress."

	Erica looked her slave over.  Just a few weeks 
ago, Janet had been new and unmarked.  Now she had 
already felt what a different Mistress was like.

	"Janet, on the table over there is a wooden box.  
I want you to go over there and open, and remove the 
contents and place them on the table."

	Janet did as she was ordered.  In the box she 
found her collar, bracelets, and a ball gag.  They were 
the familiar instruments of her bondage to Erica.

	"I want to collar and bracelet yourself," ordered 
Erica.

	Erica had her measured weeks ago, before she had 
been lent to Stephanie.  Janet picked up the collar, 
and closed it around her neck.  It locked with a 
satisfying click.  Janet then closed one bracelet first 
around one wrist, then another.  Next, her ankles were 
adorned also.

	"There's a pair of shoes under the desk.  You know 
what to do."

	Janet next locked the shoes on her feet, closing 
the little padlocks herself with a satisfying click.  
She stood silent, awaiting further instruction.

	"Now gag yourself, and then I'll lock your 
wrists," instructed Erica.

	Janet picked up the ball gag, and slowly opened 
her mouth.  She had some trouble forcing it in, finally 
adopting a seesaw motion before she got in it properly.  
Drawing the strap through the roller buckle, she was 
able to close the two pieces of leather together.  She 
was now gagged, and by her own hand!

	Erica produced a single link from the desk, and a 
leash.  Janet stood stiffly as her hands were again 
locked behind her back.  For the week, Janet had been 
free.  She had wondered if she would walk back into 
slavery.  However when she had returned to Erica's 
house she realized just how strongly that she was 
attached to her Mistress.  The sight of the instruments 
of her captivity had made her heart beat faster, 
exciting her as she not been since leaving Mistress 
Stephanie.

	"Well, Janet.  I see that you have made your 
decision.  I'm sure that you will enjoy your stay here 
this weekend, no matter how much your flesh may 
protest."

	Janet remained silent, her power of speech 
forbidden by the gag.  She had succeeded in forcing the 
ball in far deeper than she had thought, and now it had 
silenced any replies that she could make.  In addition, 
the strap hurt her cheeks and mouth.

	She could do nothing except stand there and await 
the next move of her Mistress.  Janet did not have to 
wait long for Erica to lock her hands behind her back, 
and attach the leash to her collar.

	"I'm sure that I can give you what you need, 
Janet.  So come along," ordered Erica.

	Erica led her slave through the house, to a 
hallway.  Once there, Erica removed a device from her 
pocket, and pressed a single button.  At once a secret 
door opened, revealing an elevator.  Leading her 
captive inside, Janet could only marvel at the 
construction involved.

	"Excited, Janet?  Asked Erica.

	Janet already felt her heart beating faster, and 
knew that her nipples must be stiff and erect.  As for 
her sex!

	Erica was pleased that Janet had returned to her.  
While she knew that Janet had been attracted to 
Stephanie, she felt that Janet was not really ready for 
her.  Janet still had a lot of training in front of her 
before she could become a really good slave girl.

	Erica led her into one of the Dungeons, which 
Janet noted was unoccupied.  There was no sign of 
either Andrea, or the "guest" that Erica had mentioned.  
There was no doubt in Janet's mind that the unfortunate 
girl was probably in some sort of uncomfortable 
position right now.

	Her collar chain was then attached to a ringbolt 
set in the wall.  Janet tested the link that held her 
wrists together, and found it unyielding.

	"I have to go and change.  But I want you to know 
I do love you, and will be using you shortly.  But 
before I go, I just want to leave you with a reminder 
of things to come."

	With that thinly veiled threat, Erica began to 
fondle Janet's nipples.  Being with Erica again already 
excited Janet.  But now that she was naked and chained 
again, it didn't take much to excite her again.  Erica 
then produced two clamps from her pockets, of the type 
that Stephanie had introduced her to.  In quick 
succession both of her erect nipples received the 
clamp.  Janet indicated her distress by shifting her 
position and moaning from within her gag.

	"Now don't try and knock them off, Janet.  I can 
guarantee that even worse punishment will be waiting 
for you.  How would you like those clamps on your pussy 
lips instead?"

	As she watched her Mistress leave, Janet knew that 
Erica had not just made an idle threat.  Janet knew 
that Erica would not hesitate when it came to punishing 
her.

	There was little that she could do.  She examined 
the Dungeon for any change since she had last been 
here, but she could not find any.  It was the same 
things that she had seen before!

	Interrupting her reverie was Erica, who now strode 
confidently into the Dungeon.  She was wearing a black 
latex bodysuit, pantyhose, and a pair of high heels 
that showed off her long magnificent legs.  It all 
looked like it had been painted on her.

	"Now then, said Erica, "I think that I'm dressed 
for the occasion, and so are you.  I think that we can 
begin now."

	Erica unbuckled Janet's gag.  Janet would much 
rather have preferred to have the awful nipple clamps 
removed first, but she knew that there would be a price 
to pay.

	"Thank you for removing my gag, Mistress," said 
Janet, panting.

	"You're welcome, my dear.  Did you miss my whip 
all that much?"

	"Yes, Mistress."

	"Are you ready to feel it again?"

	"Yes, Mistress.  Please punish me harshly."

	Erica removed a riding crop from the wall.  The 
crop was long and thin, and from experience Janet knew 
that it would be very painful on her exposed flesh.

	Erica toyed with the crop, until Janet saw her 
swing the crop, landing a blow on her leg.  At once, a 
sharp pain shot through her leg.  The stroke had been a 
mild one, and it had not really marked her.  Janet knew 
that it was a foretaste of things to come.

	"Janet, the position you're in is so difficult.  I 
think that a change is in order, don't you?" inquired 
Erica.

	"Yes, Mistress."

	Unlocking her collar chain, Janet was pulled over 
to a single chain that was hanging from the ceiling.  
Her two wrists were unlocked from behind her back, then 
locked in front to the chain.  Erica then went to a 
switch on the wall, and Janet felt her wrists rising as 
the chain rose.  Janet soon found that her feet were 
just barely scraping the floor.

	"Isn't that much better than before?  Now I can 
whip that lovely back and behind of yours," said Erica.

	Erica then removed a leather whip from the wall, 
which was long, black, and sinuous.  Janet knew that 
the whip would hurt her deeply, yet she didn't mind.  
She had come here to be disciplined by her Mistress.  
Now that she had gotten her wish, she knew there was no 
turning back!

	"I think that you could use a few strokes with 
this.  I just know that this will soften you up for the 
evening."

	With that last statement, Erica began to whip 
Janet.  The whip would strike the bound girl, and wind 
its way around her naked body.  Mistress Erica would 
determine just where the tip would land on Janet's 
exposed figure.

	"Thank you, Mistress," cried Janet.

	"Really, and I haven't even started yet.  I can 
just imagine how you'll feel after when I get 
finished!"

	Erica had not removed her nipple clamps, and she 
began to tug at them.  Each time she did, Janet 
flinched.

	"Mistress, please!  Not my nipples!  They hurt, 
please take the clamps off?"

	"Are you telling me what to do?" demanded Erica.

	"No, Mistress," Janet answered contritely.

	Just to be cruel, Erica first removed both clamps 
from Janet's nipples.  The clamps had made them red and 
sore.  Erica sucked at them, continuing to pinch them 
and keep them erect.

	"Just to teach you a lesson, Janet."

	Erica then replaced them when Janet's attention 
was elsewhere.  When she felt the bite of the first 
one, she kicked in reflex.  For the first time since 
she had been a slave girl, her shod foot hit something.  
Her foot had glanced off Erica's leg!  Acting as if 
nothing had happened, Erica proceeded to place the 
other clamp on Janet's other nipple as if nothing had 
happened.

	"There will be a severe punishment for that, 
Janet," said Erica sternly.

	"Mistress, please!  I'm sorry.  I really am, I'll 
do just anything to make up for that.  Please, please, 
I'm so sorry!"

	Holding Janet's breast in her right hand, she 
began to pull on it and the nipple clamp again.  Janet 
did not protest or complain, as she realized that she 
was in enough trouble already.  She wished that Erica 
had locked her ankles to a spreader bar attached to the 
floor, as this would have prevented her from striking 
Erica.

	Erica bent down, and produced a key to the 
padlocks that imprisoned Janet's feet.  She unlocked 
the small padlocks, and removed Janet's shoes.  Each 
foot made an audible pop when it was removed from it's 
leather covering.  Erica's hand explored Janet's feet, 
spreading apart her toes and feeling the bones and 
muscles.  Janet wondered what the purpose of the 
examination was.

	"Since it was your foot that struck me, I think 
that is what deserves to be punished.  Before I move on 
to punish the other parts, of course."

	Erica began to toy with Janet's feet.  Her strong 
hands pulled at her toes, separating them.  Janet felt 
that the attention given them was an omen indicating 
that something truly bad was coming.

	"You know, Janet.  Hanging around like that really 
isn't the best way to punish feet.  I have something 
much better in mind."

	Janet was glad when she was let down, but her 
concern for her flesh grew when she saw what was 
awaiting her.  Janet was released from the ceiling 
chain, only to be led over to a bench where a set of 
stocks awaited.  Her ankles were soon imprisoned 
between bars of think polished wood, and Janet's wrists 
were locked behind her back.  Aware that the stocks had 
made her feet very easy to punish, she knew that the 
moment of truth would soon arrive.

	Erica took several seconds to select the 
instrument of Janet's torment.  Much to Janet's relief, 
it was a riding crop with a broad piece of leather at 
it's tip.  Janet knew that the larger piece of leather 
would serve to blunt the impact of the crop.  She had 
feared that Erica would select a long thin crop that 
would slice apart the tender and unpunished soles of 
her feet.

	Erica offered the handle to Janet, who kissed the 
leather-covered handle.  Her bright red lipstick left 
the imprint of her lips upon the crop.  Erica noticed 
this and smiled.

	"Do you love me or my crop?" asked Erica.

	"Both, Mistress," replied Janet.

	"I think that you should count the strokes, don't 
you?" questioned Erica.

	"Yes, Mistress," answered Janet.

	When the blow was delivered, Janet had been 
fearful that it would be a flesh-shattering stroke.  
Instead, it was a mild slap, with the force evenly 
distributed by the broad piece of leather.

	"One."

	"Two."

	"Three."

	Janet remained in her wooden prison as her 
Mistress gently slapped the soles of Janet's feet with 
the riding crop.  She squirmed and tried to twist her 
feet away from the crop, but she was held fast by the 
stocks.  No wonder that they had been used from 
antiquity to the present day.  It was a fearful engine 
of restraint for a naked slave girl!

	"Ten," cried Janet.

	"That's all," said Erica.

	Erica again offered the crop's handle to Janet, 
who repeated her earlier act of passion for the crop.  
With her hands bound behind her back, and her legs 
restrained in the stocks, she had to bend forward to 
kiss the crop.

	Erica again played with her feet again, and Janet 
was relieved to find that there was no lasting pain 
from her discipline.

	"Thank you, Mistress," said Janet.

	"I'll have Andrea come along and release you soon.  
I want you to get some penance in the stocks first 
before you're released.  I have a much better one where 
you rest upright on your knees while your wrists, head, 
and ankles are all enclosed in wood.  Do you want to 
try that one?" asked Erica.

	"Not just yet, Mistress."

	"Soon, though," said Erica as she left the 
Dungeon.

	Janet was left alone in the Dungeon.  She had seen 
stocks in television and movies, and the only place she 
had ever seen one in real life had been in a museum in 
New England.  She had never imagined that they were 
still used for anything, except maybe movies.  Janet 
sat on the hard wood, since the bench wasn't padded, 
and tried to relieve the pressure on her behind.  She 
felt like the skin on her bottom was glued to the wood.

	Any girl restrained like this for a long time 
would be quite willing to do anything to get out of the 
stocks, thought Janet.  She hoped that Andrea would be 
along soon to release her.

	There wasn't anything for her to do but wait 
patiently for the arrival of the Maid.  Doing penance 
in the stocks was certainly the correct term for she 
was held almost motionless by the wooden embrace.

	Unable to count the passage of time, she sat for 
what seemed like an eternity before she saw Andrea 
appear before her.

	"Hello there," greeted Andrea.

	"You'll forgive me if I don't stand up or shake 
hands," said Janet, "But I'm a little restrained right 
now."

	"How very droll," said Andrea.

	"Thank you."

	"I'm sure that Mistress Erica would be amused by 
your comments, but I'm not.  Besides, I'm to take you 
to see someone."

	"Who?" asked Janet.

	"That would take the mystery out of life.  C'mon 
now, out of the stocks!"

	Janet was glad when Andrea opened the lock and 
pulled the wooden bar upwards.  She swung her legs away 
from their wooden prison, and onto the Dungeon floor.

	"Don't stand just yet," cautioned Andrea.

	Testing her bare feet, Janet was relieved to 
discover that there wasn't even any pain left from 
Erica's mild discipline.

	"Mistress Erica cares for her slaves," said Janet.

	"Yes," replied Andrea.

	"May I stand?" asked Janet.

	"Carefully," cautioned Andrea.

	Gingerly Janet applied pressure to her feet, and 
put her weight upon them.  She gradually stood up, and 
with Andrea at her side, began to walk small steps.

	"I'm fine," said Janet.

	"Just don't go running any marathons," replied 
Andrea.

	"I wasn't planning to.  Not from the Dungeon, 
anyway," answered Janet.

	"Enough small talk," said Andrea, "time to go 
visit the mystery guest."

	With her hands already locked behind her back, 
Andrea attached the leash again to her collar.  Janet 
stood silently as she was again forced to open her 
mouth for the ball gag, and a blindfold soon followed.

	Janet was glad that she was allowed to remain 
barefoot, and was not forced again to wear her high 
heels.  She felt a gentle pull on her leash, and Janet 
followed carefully behind.  She measured each step as 
if she was still wearing her high heels.

	Andrea did not force her to walk faster than Janet 
wanted to, since Andrea had also experienced the same 
punishment.

	Following the gentle pull on her chain, Janet 
walked behind Andrea.  She had no idea where they were 
going, but Janet was wondering just who Erica had been 
talking about.

	When they entered the other Dungeon, Janet was 
stripped of her blindfold and ball gag.  She saw that 
she was again in the presence of her Mistress.

	"Hello, Janet.  Feel better?" asked Erica.

	"Yes, Mistress."

	"Andrea, please leave us," ordered Erica.

	"Yes, Mistress," said Andrea as she departed.

	Janet saw that they were not alone, as there was a 
naked girl hanging from a ceiling chain with them.  Her 
arms and legs were kept apart by spreader bars, and her 
feet were locked into high heels.  Janet did not know 
her identity, as the girl's head was encased in a red 
leather helmet that was laced up in the back.

	Janet was sure that she was a natural blonde by 
seeing her pussy hair.

	"Do you know who she is?" asked Erica.

	"No, Mistress," replied Janet.

	"Look her over, I'm sure that you'll find a way to 
identify her," instructed Erica as she unlocked Janet's 
wrists.

	Doing as she was told, Janet walked over to the 
bound girl. She had already been whipped tonight, and 
her skin bore many whip marks.  Janet heard nothing 
from the girl, and knew that she was gagged.

	It was then that she noticed something shiny 
hanging from one of the girl's pussy lips.  Bending 
down, Janet discovered a small token that was suspended 
from a small chain that was embedded in on of the outer 
lips.

	Taking the token in her hands, Janet saw on one 
side the engraving of a coiled whip and two crossed 
riding crops.  On the other were the words, "Tiffany, 
property of Erica."

	Janet gasped.  It was Tiffany, her best friend in 
chains that Erica had been "entertaining."  From the 
many whip marks, Janet knew that she had been intensely 
punished this evening.  Janet also knew that she was 
very jealous of her friend, because Tiffany had the 
token and she did not.

	"You may take her helmet and gag off, Janet.  I 
wanted to see Tiffany, since she has been so submissive 
since she returned with that medallion.  Would you like 
one also, Janet?"

	"Yes, Mistress," answered Janet.

	Circling Tiffany, Janet found that laces at the 
back secured the helmet.  Tiffany's blonde hair fell 
down her back, which had not escaped the marks of the 
whip.  Janet loosened the laces, and she pulled the 
helmet off of Tiffany's head.  Next she undid the ball 
gag, and held both in her hands.  She then walked in 
front of Tiffany, who was still blinking in the sudden 
light.

	"Thank you, Mistress," declared Tiffany when she 
saw Erica standing in front of her.

	When she saw Janet, her eyes widened, but she did 
not otherwise acknowledge the presence of her friend.

	"Just thought that you might like some company, 
Tiffany.  Janet is here tonight, and I know that you 
two are really very friendly towards each other.  So 
friendly that I have a really smashing idea for just 
the two of you.  Janet, I want you to release her.  You 
two are really going to have some fun together."

	Erica handed her a key that unlocked Tiffany from 
the bars that held her arms and legs.  Tiffany stood 
shakily on her high heels, naked in the presence of 
Erica and Janet.

	"Now then," began Erica, "What I propose is this.  
In my hand, I have a deck of cards.  You will each draw 
one card, and the winner that has high card will get to 
dominate the loser for the evening."

	"But, Mistress, what if I don't want to dominate 
Tiffany?" asked Janet.

	"What a question to ask.  Why I thought that you 
liked to dominate another slave girl?"

	"That was different, she was........."

	"A stranger?  Someone that you barely knew?  
Surely by now you have learned that the girl beneath 
the whip doesn't have a say in who dominates her.  
Either Tiffany will dominate Janet, or vice versa.  
Else you can both be sure that you will both be 
punished in a manner that both of you will never 
forget."

	Janet could see that her protest had no effect on 
Erica.  She realized that nothing that she would say 
would make any difference.

	"Each of you, take a card!" ordered Erica.

	The two naked girls did as they were told.  Each 
walked over to Erica, and removed a card from the deck 
that was opened before them.  There was total silence 
in the Dungeon, and the only sounds that could be heard 
was the hushed breathing of the three occupants of the 
well light chamber.

	"Turn them over," Erica ordered.

	When Janet turned hers over, she saw a ten.  
However, she saw that Tiffany had drawn an ace, which 
she was now displaying to Erica.

	"Well now.  I see that we have a winner.  Looks 
like this is your lucky night, Tiffany.  Not only are 
you wearing my medallion, but you also get to chastise 
Janet also."

	"Thank you, Mistress."

	"Tiffany, you have the use of Janet for tonight."

	"Yes, Mistress," answered Tiffany.

	Janet stood in the dungeon speechless.  Surely 
Tiffany would not agree to punish her?  They had 
expressed both friendship and love towards one another.  
Now she was to be punished by her friend?

	Tiffany wasted no time in securing Janet's wrists 
behind her back.  Erica had left the link on Janet's 
cuff, which made it easy to render Janet helpless.  She 
then found a leather strap, which she secured above 
Janet's elbows, pulling them together.  This had the 
effect of pushing Janet's breasts outward, leaving the 
exposed to whatever cruelties might await them.

	Janet stood in silence as Tiffany confined her 
arms.  She was more surprised when Erica, who then 
motioned for Janet to open her mouth, handed Tiffany a 
ball gag.

	"Open wide," ordered Tiffany.

	Janet realized that she had to put up some 
resistance to Tiffany.  Else Erica would say that it 
was too easy and use it as an excuse to discipline both 
girls again.  So she stood there with her mouth closed, 
shaking her head from side to side in defiance of 
Tiffany's attempt to gag her.

	Tiffany then surprised her by pinching Janet's 
right nipple, first gently, then progressively harder.  
It was a foregone conclusion what when Janet finally 
cried out, Tiffany forced the rubber ball into her 
mouth.  The buckle was firmly secured at the back of 
her neck.

	"Now hold still," commanded Tiffany.

	"Mmmmph," cried Janet.

	Janet's eyes opened in fright as she watched 
Tiffany open the helmet and began to place it over 
Janet's head.  Janet tried to run, but had only been 
pulled back into place by Tiffany.  Now she waited as 
the red leather was pulled and laced over her head.  
There were small breathing holes by her nose, and her 
hearing and vision were cut off.  She next felt herself 
pulled along by Tiffany, until she felt herself her 
collar chain being attached to a chain.  Finding 
herself released from Tiffany's grip, she took a step 
and bumped into the wall.

	Through the helmet she could hear steps and the 
click of heels, but no conversation.  She knew that 
there were others in the room with her, but gave no 
sign about what would happen to her next.

	Finally, she felt herself released from the wall, 
and she was pulled along.  In a short time, her ankles 
were locked apart to a bar.  Then them felt a woman's 
hand cup and massage her open sex, making her moan 
behind her gag.  Then her wrists and elbows were freed 
for a short time, only to be pulled forward and then 
suspended over her head and locked to a chain.  Then 
she felt the chain tighten, and she was lifted off the 
floor.

	Janet knew that she was about to be punished, and 
she shuddered when she felt Tiffany run the strands of 
a coiled whip over her breasts, which were still tender 
from the clamps that had been used before.  Next, she 
felt her sex fondled and roughly used.

	Then the whip struck, making Janet flinch in her 
chains.  Janet bit down hard on the rubber ball, glad 
that she could not see the face of her tormentor.  The 
whip struck again and again, wrapping it's coils around 
Janet's naked figure.

	For whatever reason, after only ten strokes, the 
helmet was suddenly removed.  Blinking in the light, 
Janet did not know what to expect.  When her vision 
cleared, she saw that Tiffany stood in front of her, 
still holding the whip.  Seated nearby in a large white 
wicker chair was Erica.  Janet knew that her punishment 
had not ended but merely begun.

	Tiffany was no longer naked, but instead was 
wearing a vinyl outfit bodysuit like Erica's, and thigh 
high matching boots.  A belt around her waist 
accentuated her figure.  In her right hand was the 
whip, which Janet knew was intended for her.

	"Well, Janet.  You once took a punishment that was 
intended for me.  I guess that you really must love the 
whip, no matter who is yielding it," said Tiffany.

	All that Janet could do was to rattle her chains 
in response.  Tiffany took no notice of Janet, and 
proceeded to strike her with the whip.  Each time the 
whip curled itself around Janet's exposed female shape, 
it seemed to strike some vital area.  All that Janet 
could do was to turn slightly as she bore the whip 
again and again.

	Finally, the gag was removed after what seemed 
like a lifetime of the whip.

	"Thank you, Mistress," cried Janet.

	For her statement, Janet received another stroke 
from Tiffany.

	"Fool," said Tiffany, "Don't thank me so fast for 
your discipline.  The night is still young, and we have 
a lot of ground to cover."

	"Yes, Mistress."

	"Tell me, which do you desire more, the whip or 
the crop, Janet?"

	"I prefer the whip, Mistress," answered Janet.

	"Good.  Then you shall have the crop instead.  
What did Mistress Erica use on you earlier?"

	"The crop, Mistress."

	"Good," said Tiffany as she exchanged one device 
for another.

	Tiffany began to deliver a series of strokes that 
barely marked, but increased slowly in severity.  Janet 
moaned each time that she was struck, but more out of 
fear than for actual pain.

	Tiffany then reached out and inserted her finger 
into Janet's sex.  Janet moaned as the finger probed 
deep into her wet slit.

	"Little bondage slut, aren't you," said Tiffany.

	"Yes, Mistress."

	Tiffany then proceeded to poke the tip of the 
rigid crop against Janet's flesh, making it bend.  
Janet flinched whenever it put pressure on her punished 
form.

	"Why Janet, you really have collected a nice 
series of marks tonight."

	"Yes, Mistress."

	"I believe that I can add a few more."

	Before Janet could respond, she found herself 
being cropped again.  No amount of preparation or 
bravery could prepare her for the pain and anguish that 
the crop produced on her naked body.

	"Mistress, please," plead Janet tearfully, "Please 
stop cropping me?"

	Her pleas and cries produced no effect on Tiffany, 
who continued her determined chastisement of her 
captive.  The crop continued to fall on Janet's skin, 
making her fight her chains but to no effect.  It all 
seemed like some horrible dream that she could not 
escape from.

	"Mercy, Mistress," cried Janet.

	"Mercy," repeated Janet.

	Her plea for mercy had resulted in a temporary 
cessation of her cropping.  Tiffany continued holding 
the crop in her hand.  Tiffany looked over at Erica, 
who signaled something that Janet couldn't see in her 
haze of tears.

	"That's enough for now," said Tiffany.

	Afterwards she had been cleaned up and locked in a 
bedroom by her collar chain. Tiffany then visited and 
used her cruelly during the night.  When she awakened 
the next morning, she found that she was alone.

Part Two: A Strange Warning

	"Wake up," said Andrea.

	Janet stirred uneasily in her bed on Saturday 
morning.  The sun's rays had not yet reached her bed, 
and she preferred to stay in bed, dreaming.  Andrea's 
soft voice brought her back to consciousness.

	"Where am I?" groggily asked Janet.

	"Chained in Mistress Erica's house, that's where.  
Now get up, I have to get you dressed."

	Janet sat up, and suddenly remembered the events 
of the previous night.  She rubbed the new welts on her 
body and pulled at the chain that locked her to the 
wall.

	"That's better," said Andrea.

	Andrea had brought up a tray, on which was a cup 
of juice and coffee.  Janet downed them eagerly, and 
her stomach growled for something else.

	"I'm hungry," said Janet.

	"You'll have to wait.  What a mess!"

	Janet got up from the bed, and realized what a 
mess she had been sleeping in.  The sweaty sheets were 
a disheveled jumble, and stained with her juices and 
Tiffany's.  Her own body felt like it had been ripped 
apart, and she looked at herself in the bedroom mirror.  
At least she had not been confined in a cell all night, 
but had instead enjoyed sleeping in a bed.

	"C'mon now.  I've already drawn a bath," said 
Andrea.

	Janet was unlocked, and led to the steamy 
bathroom.  Her collar and bracelets were removed, 
giving her a brief feeling that she was somehow no 
longer the property of Mistress Erica.

	Until the steamy hot water of the tub hit her 
fresh welts, making her squeal in pain.  She remembered 
how both Erica and Tiffany had imposed their will on 
her.

	"Ouch!" said Janet.

	"You'll feel a lot better after a soak," said 
Andrea, "But we can't take too much time."

	"Thanks."

	"Don't mention it.  Someday, you may be returning 
the favor," Andrea answered.

	Janet luxuriated in the tub, letting the hot water 
unknot her muscles and dissolve the dried sweat and 
secretions away.  She further enjoyed it when Andrea 
washed her hair, and helped dry her off.

	After what seemed like a forbidden period of 
pampering, she was finally clean and dry.  Her hair had 
been dried, combed, and set.  Looking at herself in the 
mirror, Janet realized that she usually paid someone to 
make her hair look this good.  Except that she had paid 
dearly for this, with the stripes on her body.

	Then she locked the familiar heels on her feet, 
with Andrea looking on.  Next came her bracelets, and 
finally the collar.  She was Erica's slave again!

	"Not ready just yet," said Andrea, "Erica has said 
that a little more preparation is in order."

	Janet stood still as rouge was applied to her 
breasts, making them look darker than before.  Then she 
had to open her thighs slightly as Andrea took an 
atomizer and sprayed a scent that stung as it dried on 
her skin.

	"Ouch!" cried Janet.

	"You would feel that a lot more if your pussy was 
shaved," said Andrea.
	Janet stood impassively as her wrists were locked 
behind her once again, and a leash was attached to her 
collar.

	"Where's Tiffany?" asked Janet.

	"I'll tell Mistress Erica that you asked about 
her.  That's none of your concern right now.  Let's 
just saw that she's rather occupied right now," said 
Andrea.

	"With Mistress Erica?" Janet asked.

	"No, and I shouldn't be telling you this, but 
Erica had her taken to Stephanie's this morning.  Seems 
she needs a little extra discipline, and Erica would 
much rather play with you," said Andrea, "And if you 
breath a word I told you, I'll tan your hide at the 
first chance.  After mine gets whipped by Erica, that 
is."

	Janet was disappointed to hear that she would be 
alone.  Ever since she had belonged to Erica, Tiffany 
had always been there to share her pain.  Even had been 
her bed partner.  But now her companion in chains had 
been shipped off to Mistress Stephanie, and she would 
be alone with Mistress Stephanie and Andrea.

	"Time to go," said Andrea.

	Janet had been left downstairs chained in the 
kitchen while Andrea had bathed and dressed Erica.  
When she returned, she noticed that Andrea was wearing 
a new Maid's uniform.

	Then the two of them served Erica breakfast, with 
Andrea in her latex uniform and Janet naked.  During 
the meal, Erica would sometimes reach out and fondle 
Janet's sex, making her shiver with excitement.

	Janet was not distracted by this, and managed to 
maintain her composure.  She did not drop or spill 
anything, and Erica soon took a cup of black coffee to 
the library.

	The two girls quickly cleared the day room, and 
once inside the kitchen they had a quick meal 
themselves.  Janet looked enviously at Andrea's latex 
outfit.

	"What are you looking at?" asked Andrea.

	"When I was at Stephanie's, I was allowed to do 
the housework in your uniform," Janet answered.

	"Until Erica say's you're allowed to, you'll do 
the housework naked," said Andrea.

	Once the kitchen was cleaned, both reported to 
Erica.  The Mistress had prepared a list of chores to 
do, that both attended to quickly.

	Janet did not want to risk a punishment by 
slacking off on the housecleaning.  That would be one 
way that she showed her devotion to her Mistress and 
owner.

	At one point, she was on her knees, bent over 
while trying to clean something that was difficult to 
reach.  She was totally immersed in what she was doing, 
and didn't realize that Erica had joined her until she 
felt her sex fondled.

	Without stopping, and taking no notice of Erica, 
she continued to do her work.  Erica's fingers were 
probing and massaging her sex, bringing her almost to 
orgasm.  It took all of her discipline not to finally 
reach down herself and bring herself to climax.  Had 
she relieved herself that way, she was sure that she 
would have been in trouble.

	"Thank you, Mistress," said Janet.

	"Continue your work," ordered Erica as she left 
Janet alone.

	Janet did the laundry with Andrea, and thought 
just how strange it was to be washing clothes while she 
was naked.  She looked around the laundry room, and saw 
that Andrea was drying several items of latex clothing 
there.  Having worn rubber before, she guessed that it 
was a constant battle to keep it clean! 

	Both girls served Erica lunch and dinner, with 
Andrea garbed in rubber and Janet naked.  With the sun 
streaming through the dining room windows, it seemed 
quite a surrealistic sight with only Erica wearing 
normal clothes.

	The two finished their respective chores, and 
Janet was glad that Erica did not choose to have her 
wear a dildo harness while she worked.  It was erotic 
enough for her to work naked and in the high heels, 
without being sexually stimulated with every movement 
of a phallus inside her.

	Finally, dinner was completed and the dishes 
washed and stored away.  Janet knew that her time was 
coming again in the Dungeon, and she looked forward 
with both anticipation and fear for what was coming 
next.

	After a bath and massage by Andrea, her wrists 
were locked behind her back once more.  Instead of 
being led to the Dungeon, instead she was led to the 
library!

	Erica sat behind her desk, dressed in some form of 
latex outfit.  The tight black latex clung to her 
breasts, and she wore gloves that reached to her 
shoulders.

	"Thank you, Andrea.  That will be all," said 
Erica.

	"Yes, Mistress," said Andrea as she left the 
library.

	In front of one of the chairs was a large paper 
wrapped object.  Janet didn't know what was inside, but 
she guessed that whatever it was, it had some meaning 
for her.

	"You've become quite a slave, Janet," observed 
Erica.

	"Thank you, Mistress," said Janet.

	"It isn't often that I take on a new girl, 
especially one that has had no experience before.  But 
Sally and I have known one another for quite some time, 
and I decided to accept her judgement.  You have turned 
out rather nicely."

	"Thank you, Mistress."

	"Your capacity to accept some rather harsh 
discipline is extraordinary.  While I'm really not sure 
why you're such a good slave, I'm glad to see that you 
accepted Stephanie's discipline as well.  Why are you 
such a good girl, Janet?" questioned Erica.

	"I love you, Mistress," Janet answered.

	"Really.  Is it me you love, or just my whip?" 
demanded Erica.

	"Both, Mistress."

	"Good.  Then perhaps you shall have both tonight.  
Of course that depends on how you prove yourself to me.  
Now then, shall we begin?"

	Erica pushed her chair back from the desk where 
she had been working on some papers.  Upon rising, 
Janet discovered that she had been wearing a black 
latex sleeveless Catsuit.  The latex clung to her every 
curve, and shined in the bright lights of the library.  
She was wearing a pair of high heels similar to the 
ones that Janet had on, except that hers were held on 
with straps.  Not the heavy straps and padlocks that 
Janet wore constantly.

	Erica picked up some kind of large leather object 
that had been draped over a chair.  She approached 
Janet, who stood perched on her high heels.

	"Ever see one of these?" asked Erica, "It's called 
an armbinder."

	"No, Mistress."

	"Then you should have done more looking around 
when you bought your home bondage things.  They're in 
all the shops.  Have you rented any tapes?"

	"No, Mistress," Janet answered.

	"Too bad.  I'd have thought that you would have 
been jerking off to at least one tape by now.  Still, 
I'll send you some.  Just to keep you busy when you're 
not here."

	"Thank you, Mistress."

	Erica unlocked the straps and opened a zipper.  
The thing opened along its entire length, and Janet 
gasped when she figured out just how the armbinder was 
supposed to be used!

	"Just stand still," directed Erica.

	Janet stood impassively as Erica made certain that 
her arms were palm to palm.  She slipped the armbinder 
on, and after making sure that the thing was straight, 
slowly began to zip it up.  Janet felt her arms being 
drawn together as the leather closed.  When the zipper 
had gone all the way up, Erica then closed a strap with 
a roller buckle above her elbows.  Janet knew that 
there was no way that a girl could ever escape the grip 
of the armbinder!

	Next, straps that had been unused were drawn on 
both sides of her neck over her shoulders.  Roller 
buckles on the binder secured them also.  The total 
effect was to pull her arms together, pitch Janet 
slightly forward, and make her chest stick out 
shamefully.

	"Would you like to see yourself in the mirror?" 
asked Erica.

	"Yes, Mistress," choked Janet.

	Erica led her charge over to a full-length mirror.  
Janet looked at herself, and saw how the armbinder was 
constructed.  The thing covered her from elbows to 
hands, and the straps crisscrossed over her shoulders.  
It was quite attractive, even sexy.  But any girl 
confined in such a thing was totally helpless and 
vulnerable!

	Erica then began to pinch and play with Janet's 
erect nipples.  Janet loved the feel of latex as Erica 
first pinched, and then pulled at her nipples.  Her 
breath grew short and she knew that she was being 
quickly aroused and excited!

	"Don't you dare cum before I say so," said Erica.

	"Yes, Mistress," Janet answered.

	Even though she agreed to Erica's demand, Janet 
knew that she was already wet with excitement.  She 
loved the touch of Erica, even though the leather 
prison pained her arms!

	When Erica had satisfied herself that Janet was 
ready, she pulled her slave girl over to the desk.  
There she produced a box, from which she removed two 
metal clips.  These were soon fastened on Janet's 
nipples!

	But Erica didn't stop there!  She roughly fondled 
Janet's sex, and found that she was indeed wet.  She 
then produced two more clips that were attached to 
Janet's outer lips.

	Janet moaned as she felt the clips applied, and 
knew that Stephanie must have told Erica just how she 
had reacted when they had been used on her before!

	"Enjoying yourself, Janet?" asked Erica.

	"Yes, Mistress."

	"Good.  I thought that I should use the library 
instead of the Dungeon tonight.  I think that a little 
change of scene is called for," said Erica.

	"Yes, Mistress."

	Erica then inserted a rubber-covered finger into 
Janet's ripe sex.  Janet immediately moaned with 
pleasure, then nearly lost her balance as Erica 
proceeded to thrust her finger in and out of her sex.

	"My, we are horny tonight," said Erica, "I guess 
that Sally unleashed a real minx when she suggested 
that you try a Mistress."

	Janet opened her legs wider to accommodate Erica's 
probing fingers.  Standing helpless with her arms 
imprisoned by leather and having her Mistress stimulate 
her was incredible!

	Just when it seemed that her breaths were short 
and she was on the verge of an incredible climax, Erica 
suddenly withdrew and left Janet panting with 
frustration and desire.

	"Mistress?" cried Janet.

	"I told you that you weren't allowed to cum yet," 
said Erica, "First I have to redden your behind first."

	Erica then produced a leather paddle that looked 
dark and menacing.  The thick leather was black, and 
shined in the light.  Erica offered the handle to 
Janet, who kissed it as she had the riding crop last 
night.

	With one hand, Erica steadied Janet by holding 
onto the armbinder.  Janet did not need any 
encouragement to lean forward and pitch her behind up 
into the air as far as she was able.  She knew that her 
posture was just perfect for the paddle's use on her 
behind!

	Thwack!  The hard paddle impacted on Janet's 
behind, and for a moment Janet had to struggle to keep 
her balance.  With Erica's iron grip on her armbinder, 
Janet remained steady.

	"Thank you, Mistress," said Janet.

	The paddle struck again and again, each time 
impacting upon a different part of her behind.  After a 
few strokes, Janet began to feel the cheeks of her ass 
begin to heat up.  Once Erica knew that the paddle was 
having the desired effect, she stopped to massage to 
hurt areas of Janet's behind.

	Having the cool rubber clad fingers of the 
Mistress only made Janet that much more hotter and 
excited that she had been before.  Her heart thundered 
in her chest, and she felt as if she would soon pass 
out!

	Soon, Erica resumed her discipline, with the only 
sounds in the library being the thwack of the paddle 
and Janet's soft moans and breaths.

	"You're quite good," said Erica as she landed a 
vicious blow on Janet's behind.

	"Thank you, Mistress," cried Janet.

	The number of blows was without count, and Janet 
was sure that her behind was the color of bright red 
when Erica suddenly stopped.  She offered the handle to 
Janet, who kissed the woven leather.

	"Thank you, Mistress," gasped Janet.

	"Couldn't have you cum just yet, Janet," said 
Erica, "Besides I'm sure that you'll be thinking of me 
every time that you sit down for the next week."

	"Yes, Mistress."

	Erica had made it quite clear to Janet that 
whatever she did, she would not hurt Janet enough that 
she would have to miss work.  In addition, she had 
provided her with the name of nearby doctor that she 
could use for free and no questions asked.  It would 
have been quite difficult to explain why she was 
covered in red welts and her ass red to a doctor at an 
HMO!

	In spite of all that she had undergone so far, 
Erica had not yet let Janet climax.  No matter how 
close she had come to orgasm, the Mistress knew at the 
exact point of when to stop before Janet would climax 
with pleasure.

	"Would you like to see your behind in the mirror?" 
asked Erica.

	"Yes, Mistress."

	Janet was led over again, and held sideways to the 
mirror.  Her body was covered in sweat from the 
discipline, and she was already getting used to the 
binder.  However, she knew that her arms would hurt 
terribly when they were released!

	But it was her behind that was hurting her now!  
The paddle had done it's work well, leaving her 
buttocks a bright shade of red!  Janet knew that she 
was going to have a hard time next week doing even the 
simplest things, and did not relish the thought of 
sitting down at her desk.

	"Thank you, Mistress," said Janet.

	Janet saw the bright clamp attached to her nipple, 
and Erica turned her forward so that she could see all 
the others.  This jewelry, Janet thought, was 
definitely not for sale in the department stores!

	"Time to unwrap your present," said Erica.

	Erica then removed her armbinder.  First came the 
shoulder straps, and next the strap above her elbows 
was loosened.  When the leather was unzipped, Janet 
moaned as her arms were slowly freed of their leather 
prison.  Erica then unlocked her wrists, and Janet 
could rub her arms to restore feeling.

	"Take some time to recover," said Erica, "You have 
to get used to the armbinder before you can wear it for 
some time."

	"Thank you, Mistress," said Janet, thankful for 
the respite that she was enjoying.

	Erica did not make any moves to remove her clips, 
and Janet did not dare make any move to either.  They 
stayed, painfully grasping her flesh on the most 
private parts of a girl!

	"Would you like a glass of water?" asked Erica.

	"Yes, Mistress.  Thank you."

	Erica indicated a pitcher and glasses on the desk.  
Unsteadily, Janet walked over to the desk, and licked 
her lips over taking a drink.

	"Would you like one also, Mistress?" asked Janet.

	"Yes, slave," answered Erica.

	Janet felt happy that she had passed a test.  Had 
she poured herself a drink without asking Erica first, 
she would have been liable for a punishment.  By asking 
Erica if she wanted one also, she had placed her 
Mistress's wants above her own, showing her true place 
as her slave girl.

	Janet poured one glass, then walked over to Erica.  
She placed it on a nearby table and bowed.  She watched 
as Erica drank her glass and rubbed her lips with her 
rubber gloves.

	"Thank you, Janet."

	Once Janet had returned the glass to the desk was 
she able to pour a glass for herself.  She drank it 
slowly, taking small sips.  She did not want to down it 
all at once, or drink too slowly.  When she finished, 
she replaced it on the tray.

	"Thank you, Mistress," said Janet.

	Erica walked over to the chair by her computer.  
She sat down, and crossed her magnificent latex clad 
legs.  She looked truly stunning in the Catsuit, and 
Janet could not help but be attracted to her.

	"Janet, stand in front of me," ordered Erica.

	Janet did as she was told, quickly.  She stood in 
silence.

	"Kneel, and lick my shoes," ordered Erica.

	Someday, Janet knew that this command would come.  
She knelt before Erica, and proceeded to bend down to 
the floor.  With her hands and knees supporting her, 
Janet then proceeded to start to lick at Erica's shoes.  
Much to her surprise, she found that the surface was 
coated in matching latex.  She licked at the rubber, 
becoming gradually accustomed to her task.  Within a 
few moments, she was running her tongue over the rubber 
as if she had been doing this all along.

	First Erica let Janet do her right shoe, then her 
left.  She sat back and let Janet service her shoes, 
knowing that this action further increased Janet's 
desire for her.

	"Janet," said Erica softly, "Look at me."

	"Yes, Mistress."

	Stopping what she was doing, Janet looked up from 
her task.  She saw her Mistress, clad in black shiny 
latex.  The Catsuit displayed every part of her figure, 
and clung to her like a second skin.  Which indeed it 
was.

	"What do you see, Janet?" asked Erica.

	"My Mistress Erica," Janet answered.

	"Thank you.  I just want to take this chance to 
tell you something important.  One day, you and Tiffany 
shall both be tested."

	"I don't understand Mistress," said Janet.

	"Do not discuss this with Tiffany, or anyone else.  
That is all I shall say in this matter."

	"Yes, Mistress."

	"Good.  Then I want you to stand up, and open the 
package.  It's a gift to me," said Erica.

	Doing as she was told, Janet rose and bowed to 
Erica.

	"Thank you for letting me clean your shoes," said 
Janet.

	"You're welcome Janet.  Now do as I told you."

	"Yes, Mistress."

	Janet clicked her heels as she walked over to the 
package, which had red ribbon and a red bow on top.  
She undid the ribbon, and tore away at the fancy paper.  
She gasped at what was inside!

	Wrapped carefully was an exact duplicate of the 
large black leather footstool that she had seen both 
Camille and herself punished on!

	"It's a gift from Stephanie.  She told me how much 
you like the footstool, she made one a gift to me," 
said Erica.

	Janet was folding the wrapping paper and ribbon.  
Erica indicated a wastebasket into which Janet should 
throw the wrappings.

	"Thank you, Mistress," said Janet.

	Erica then reached into her desk, and produced 
four coils of rope, plus a ballgag.  Janet stood still, 
awaiting Erica's next command.

	"Janet, come here," directed Erica.

	Janet walked over to the desk, and stood silently 
in front of her Mistress.

	"I think that you've worn those clips long 
enough," said Erica.

	"Yes, Mistress," said Janet.

	When they were removed one by one, Janet moaned in 
pain.  While they had produced a constant distress all 
the time that she had worn them, when they were finally 
removed it hurt even more!

	"Ooooh" cried Janet.

	"It's all right, Janet," said Erica, "Take a 
little time to relax."

	"May I touch myself, Mistress?" asked Janet.

	"Yes, but just a little to sooth yourself.  If you 
climax yourself before I'm ready they'll be something 
coming that you'll regret."

	"Yes, Mistress."

	Janet massaged her hurt sore nipples, which 
throbbed from the lengthy time that she had worn the 
clips.  But it was her sex that she had to be most 
careful of.  Wearing the armbinder and having her 
behind paddled still tremendously excited her.  Now she 
felt like she was full of erotic energy, and waiting 
for some kind of release!

	"That's enough," commanded Erica.

	"Thank you, Mistress."

	Erica indicated the footstool, and Janet promptly 
lay down on the soft black leather.  The stool was 
padded quite well, and she did not sink into something 
soft.  Instead it was firmly padded, and took her 
weight quite well.  She waited patiently as Erica soon 
secured her elbows and knees to the footstool's legs, 
making her prisoner once more.

	Then the ballgag was placed at Janet's mouth, and 
she opened it obediently with having to be directed by 
Erica.  The rubber ball went in, and Janet's teeth 
grasped onto the round object.  She then felt the 
roller buckle close at the back of her neck.

	Erica then stood back and admired her handiwork.  
Janet proceeded to rub her naked skin against the 
sensual feel of the leather.  She was also aroused by 
the scent of the new leather, and ground her sex 
against the sensual surface.

	"Stop that," ordered Erica, "I don't want you 
satisfying yourself yet."

	Janet stopped immediately, but could not reply 
with the gag in her mouth.

	Erica began to caress Janet's shoulders, and her 
back.  Her fingers danced on Janet's back, imparting 
erotic electricity that Janet had been wishing for all 
night.  Reaching underneath her, Erica then began to 
pinch her nipples, which had become erect and hard 
again.

	"I see that you're quite ready," said Erica.

	Without even checking if Janet was wet, Erica then 
produced a dildo, which she showed to her captive.  
Then she walked to Janet's rear, and Janet obliged her 
Mistress by raising her behind.  This made her sex 
easier to access for the phallus.

	Janet moaned with pleasure when she felt the dildo 
enter her sex.  It was finally a relief to have the 
thing penetrate and enter her.  Erica pushed the thing 
in gently at first, gradually thrusting it in and out.  
With each thrust and withdrawal, it seemed like waves 
and waves of energy were released in Janet's sex.

	"Stephanie was right," said Erica, "You do enjoy 
the footstool.  I guess that I'll have to try it on 
Andrea this week."

	"Mmmmmph," said Janet.

	When the dildo was finally pushed inside her, 
Janet knew that her real test was just beginning.  Just 
as Stephanie had before, this was going to be a test to 
see just how long Janet could keep the phallus in her 
sex.

	"There now, why don't I just leave you like that 
for a minute?" said Erica.

	Janet placed her entire concentration between her 
legs.  While her muscles were firmly clamped on the 
dildo now, she feared that if she suddenly lost 
concentration it would slip out.  She guessed that she 
was very wet, and excited by everything that Erica had 
done to her tonight.

	Erica then produced a riding crop, this time with 
a broad leather tip.  Janet knew the effect that this 
would have on her.

	"Since I've punished your behind quite enough all 
ready, I'll have to do something else to finish the 
evening," said Erica.

	Janet looked with fear at the crop.  Still, it was 
when Erica began to fondle her behind did Janet really 
fear that she would lose the phallus.

	"Should you lose the dildo, your punishment will 
be rather severe," said Erica.

	Erica then began to gently slap her with the crop.  
With it's broad tip, the force of the blow was well 
divided.  Still, it stung each time it landed.  Erica 
avoided striking her behind, not to inflict any further 
damages.  Still, the crop landed on her back, shoulders 
and on the inside of her thighs.  Janet squirmed in an 
attempt to get away from the impacts of the leather.

	"Mmmmmph!" cried Janet.

	After her severe punishment earlier, this was much 
milder.  But having been deeply aroused by her prior 
discipline, it was hard to keep the concentration on 
her sex.

	Suddenly, Janet came again and again.  She 
couldn't control her cunt muscles, which climaxed by 
themselves.  The sexual tension that had been building 
all night had released itself in an explosive orgasm.  
Finally, she felt the dildo slip slowly out of her sex, 
and she heard it bounce to the ground!

	Janet felt like crying out loud: No!  She had 
wanted to impress her Mistress with a demonstration of 
her control.  Janet had managed to control herself with 
Stephanie, and she knew that Stephanie had described 
her performance to Erica.

	In spite of the punishment that her behind had 
already endured, when the dildo slipped out, Erica 
began to slash at her bottom.  Janet squealed in pain 
as the crop struck at her behind again and again.

	"Bad slave!" cried Erica, "You could control 
yourself with Stephanie, you little slut, but not with 
me.  Just for that, you're going to be well used 
tonight!"

	Erica retrieved the dildo from the floor and 
placed it on her desk.  She pushed a button on a 
control panel, and sat down in her chair.  Janet did 
not know what would happen next, and feared for the 
rest of the evening.

	"Come in," said Erica when there was a knock at 
the door.

	"Yes, Mistress," said Andrea.

	"I want you to take this worthless slave and chain 
her at the foot of my bed.  I'll be along later," Erica 
ordered.

	"Yes, Mistress," Andrea replied.

	Erica then quickly rose from her seat, and strode 
forcefully out of the library.  Janet watched her 
leave, with tears in her eyes.  For she had 
disappointed Erica, who she had wanted to impress 
instead.

	Andrea wasted no time as she undid the coils of 
rope around her elbows and knees.  Janet was then 
helped to her feet, and stood perched on the high 
heels.  How she wished that she could rip the gag from 
her mouth and apologize to Erica.  But that would only 
make it worse, as her body had betrayed her.

	Janet stood impassively as her wrists were again 
locked behind her back.  Without even the blindfold or 
the leash, Andrea pushed her along to Erica's bedroom.

	For a woman of such wealth and power, Erica's 
bedroom was simple and plain.  There was a four poster 
bed, bare floors, and some furniture.  Janet was pushed 
down onto the floor and her collar was locked to a 
ringbolt set in the wall.  Andrea then closed the door 
swiftly behind her.

	Janet started to cry.  She had wanted everything 
to go perfectly but instead it had all gone so wrong!  
At least Erica had not ordered her into a cell for the 
evening or solitary again.  Still, spending the night 
bound and gagged at the foot of Erica's bed was going 
to an exercise in frustration.  So close, and so far!

	After what seemed an eternity, the bathroom door 
opened.  Erica emerged, wearing a terry bathrobe and 
slippers.

	"Well now, I see that at least one of my girls can 
obey instructions," said Erica.

	Erica then proceeded to comb and dry her hair.  
Janet would have expected Andrea to come and help her, 
but instead they were alone.  Janet watched as Erica 
brushed her long black hair, and used a hair dryer.  It 
all seemed so ordinary, except that Janet was bound on 
the floor.

	"After wearing rubber, all I can look forward to 
is having a hot bath.  Perhaps I should lock you in a 
rubber suit all day, chained, just to make you feel 
uncomfortable," said Erica.

	"Mmmmmph," replied Janet.

	"But that's for the future.  For now, I've got 
something else in mind."

	Erica then unlocked Janet's collar from the 
ringbolt and pulled her on top of the bed.  Still 
gagged, Janet grunted as she was laid face down on the 
bed.  Then her wrists were unlocked briefly, before 
Erica locked them to chains from the bedposts.  Next 
her legs were opened when her ankles were locked to 
chains from the foot posts.  Janet was naked, gagged, 
and spread-eagled on her Mistress's bed!

	"There now, that's better," said Erica.

	Erica then stood up and removed her terry robe.  
For the first time, Janet saw that her Mistress was a 
beautiful woman.  She had fully developed breasts, a 
flat stomach, firm hips, and a lovely bush between her 
legs.

	Had Janet not been gagged, she would have pleaded 
forgiveness for her earlier transgression.  Instead she 
just had to watch what was going to happen next.

	Erica then went to her dresser, and removed a 
broad leather harness similar to the dildo harness that 
Janet had worn before.  Her Mistress wrapped a broad 
leather strap around her waist, cinching it tight.  
Then she drew a strap between her legs, which she 
buckled in front.  The harness that Erica wore had one 
main difference from Janet's: a large dildo projected 
outwards.

	"Now I'm ready," said Erica.

	Erica turned the lights down, but not out, before 
she joined Janet on the bed.  Erica proceeded to begin 
to kiss Janet on her shoulders, then start on her 
breasts and stomach.

	Janet longed to reach out and return Erica's 
affection.  Instead, her chains and gag frustrated her!

	Finally, Erica buried her head between Janet's 
legs, and her tongue reached between sex.  Janet 
experienced wave after wave of orgasm as Erica released 
the sexual tension inside her.  She moaned and squealed 
on the bed, bouncing on the bed against the bonds that 
held her.

	"Usually a slave is supposed to serve her Mistress 
first," said Erica, "But I guess you'll have to serve 
me later."

	Erica then mounted Janet, thrusting the shaft that 
she wore between Janet's legs.  Janet bucked and moaned 
as she felt the dildo impale her.  She loved the clean 
scent of her Mistress as she ground her hips against 
Janet's, each time pushing the shaft deeper inside her.

	Having the gag seemed to make her orgasms even 
more intense as she came again and again.  She felt her 
sweat mingle with Erica's, as she was pounded into the 
mattress.

	After what seemed forever, Erica stood up and 
removed her harness.  Then she released Janet, only to 
chain her at the foot of her bed.  Finally, she removed 
Janet's ballgag.

	"Thank you, Mistress," gasped Janet.

	"You're welcome, Janet."

	Erica turned the lights completely off, and got 
under the covers nude.  In time, Janet heard soft 
snores from the bed.  Soon she dropped off too, while 
wondering just what her harsh punishment for losing the 
dildo was going to be?

Part Three: Sunday

	When Sunday began, Erica showered and dressed 
herself.  Janet expected that Andrea would join them, 
but she was puzzled at her absence.  Once Erica had 
dressed in a top, jeans, and shoes, she unlocked Janet.  
She pulled Janet to her feet, and marched her down the 
hall.

	"Now you get punished," said Erica.

	Andrea was waiting in another bathroom.  Janet was 
unlocked, and her collar and bracelets were removed.  
Then she was bathed, and her hair dried.  Finally, she 
was made to sit on the toilet with some kind of special 
seat to elevate her slightly higher.

	Andrea then prepared a cup of shaving cream, and 
Janet guessed what was going to happen next.  The cream 
was liberally applied to her pubic hair, and Andrea 
then produced an old fashioned straight razor.

	"Don't move," said Andrea.

	With her legs open wide, Janet sat still while her 
sex was shaved.  Andrea was quite skilled with the 
razor, and not once were the sensitive tissues of 
Janet's sex nicked or cut.  Finally, when she was 
finished, Andrea produced a powder puff to sooth the 
shaved skin.

	"I feel naked," said Janet.

	"That's the idea," answered Andrea, "Now I'm 
supposed to show you to Erica before you get dressed.  
Your car is coming soon, because Erica is entertaining 
some people.  So you have to leave early.  Understand?"

	"Yes, Andrea," said Janet.

	Janet was then paraded before Erica, who fondled 
Janet's naked sex.  After approving the job that Andrea 
had done, she was dressed just in time for the car to 
arrive.

	Sitting in the back of the limo, she turned around 
to look at the shrinking mansion in the rear window, 
tears in her eyes.

	"Why couldn't I be a better slave?" she asked 
herself, digging her nails into her palms, tears 
running down her cheeks.

"Janet in Training" by sfmaster@worldnet.att.net
Chapter Six: Role Reversal
	
	When the limo left her in front of Erica's house 
one weekend, Janet was eagerly looking forward to 
seeing Erica.  Over the past few weeks, Erica had been 
placing her in more stringent and difficult bondage 
positions.  In addition, the Mistress had been 
punishing her in many more different ways.  Janet had 
learned the cat and the flogger, and had been able to 
stand many more strokes than she had before.

	She was pleased that Erica had also decided to use 
her in the bedroom as well, and she had to learn rather 
quickly how to satisfy her Mistress.  Failure meant a 
stay in the Dungeon, plus additional punishments.

	So when the limo departed, Janet hurried up the 
stairs.  She was hoping that her stay this weekend 
would be a repeat of last week's.  That had been both a 
pleasurable and painful experience at the same time, 
and Janet hoped that this weekend would be more of the 
same.

	When the door opened, Andrea was standing inside 
as usual.  It was rare that Mistress Erica would open 
the door of her own house.  Why should she when she had 
a slave for a Maid?

	"Come in," greeted Andrea.

	"Thank you," said Janet as she handed Erica's Maid 
her coat.

	"I'm to take you to the library," said Andrea.

	"Is that where Erica is now?" asked Janet.

	"No.  Please come," directed Andrea.

	Janet was crestfallen. Where was her Mistress?  
She hurried behind Andrea.  The library was empty, 
without Erica.  Janet was disappointed by Erica's 
absence. 

	"There's a letter on the desk," directed Andrea.

	"Oh," answered Janet.

	Janet picked up the envelope that Andrea had 
mentioned.  It was made of a rich fine heavy paper, not 
like modern paper that made to go through a printer at 
work.  No, this was paper that someone might use for 
something special.   On the front was written Janet's 
name in a simple script, and the envelope flap had an 
ER embossed in the heavy paper.  It was also sealed by 
a glob of red sealing wax, into which was pressed the 
letters ER inside a crest.

	Janet slowly opened it, and found a single sheet 
of paper inside.  She read:
	Dear Janet,
	Sorry, but I was called away suddenly on urgent 
business.  Since you were looking forward to seeing me 
so much, I decided on a special treat for you.  
Tonight, Friday, Andrea will have her use of you.  
Tomorrow, Saturday, you shall have the use of Andrea.  
Please be creative and imaginative, both of you!  I 
shall expect a full report, and discipline meted out 
for improper conduct.
										Love,
										Erica 
Riken

	"Andrea, I'm yours," said Janet.

	Andrea read the letter in silence when it was 
offered to her.  Janet wondered if she knew the 
contents even before, and if her companion was merely 
playacting.

	"You certainly are.  Now, what should I do with 
you?"

	Janet knew better than to respond to a question 
like that.  She had always feared that one day Andrea 
might get her chance to dominate her, and now Erica 
had given her to her Maid!

	"Better not stay silent too long, Janet," 
cautioned Andrea.

	"I could take off my clothes, Mistress Andrea," 
said Janet.

	"What a nice idea.  You know, Janet, some girls 
don't train as easily as 
You did.  They pout and protest, thinking that will get 
them some attention.  What they forget is that none of 
that behavior works when you face a Dominant."

	Janet could only nod her head in agreement.

	"I'd say that you were one of the best slave girls 
that Erica has had for quite some time.  You really 
love the whip, don't you."

	"Yes, Andrea."

	"Mistress Andrea.  And that will cost you tonight, 
my dear.  But don't strip here, downstairs is better."

	"Yes, Mistress Andrea."

	"Now go downstairs and get ready, and I'll be 
along in a minute.  The Dungeon's already open, and you 
know what to do."

	Janet knew that there were two ways that she could 
use to go to the Dungeon.  One was the hidden elevator, 
and the other was a set of concealed stairs.  The 
doorway was left open, and Janet descended to the 
Dungeon.  True to Andrea's word, on a table were her 
collar, bracelets, and shoes.

	Janet was by now used to the routine.  She 
stripped quickly, and paused to look at herself in the 
full-length mirror.  She saw her naked body, with the 
stripes as evidence of her slavery to Erica.  But it 
was her sex that fascinated her.  Ever since Erica had 
ordered her cunt shaved several weeks ago, it was an 
additional reminder of her slavery to Erica.  When the 
cotton or silk of her panties rubbed up against her 
bare lips during the day, it only served to remind her 
that her Mistress had ordered her pussy shaved.

	Nor was it allowed to grow back.  For every 
weekend afterwards, Andrea had the duty of again 
shaving her cunt to make sure that it wouldn't grow 
back.  For the first few weeks, Janet had wanted to 
protest and resist.  But she had never said anything.  
Now it was an accepted part of the routine of her 
visits, just like removing her clothes and being placed 
in bondage.

	Janet placed the collar around her neck first, 
brushing her hair away.  Then the bracelets went on her 
ankles and wrists.  She then bent down and locked the 
shoes onto her feet, snapping shut the little padlocks 
that would imprison her feet.  Next, she held her mouth 
open to accept the ballgag, and closed the roller 
buckle at the back of her neck.

	Janet took one final look at herself in the 
mirror, proud of her life as a slave girl.  She walked 
carefully in her high heels, and tried to figure out 
just where Andrea would want her to restrain herself 
before her entrance.

	She walked among the devices of slavery, her heart 
pounding with the memory of how everything had been 
steadily used on her.  Janet looked for some obvious 
way of locking herself to something before Andrea would 
arrive.  But there seemed to be nothing!  It looked as 
if Andrea had searched the Dungeon, and removed every 
obvious way that Janet could confine herself easily!

	Taking a deep breath with her nose, Janet wished 
that she did not have to wear the ballgag.  She felt 
like sighing, since she should have confined herself by 
now!

	Janet wondered if Andrea had known of Erica's 
plans, and this was some devilish trick made especially 
for her!

	"Well Janet, I see that you know how to take 
orders," commented Andrea on her entrance.

	All that Janet could do was nod her agreement 
behind her ballgag.  Whoever had thought of the gag 
must have designed it for girls, as the silence it 
imposed was near total.

	"I'm sure," said Andrea as she grabbed a D ring on 
Janet's collar, "that we are going to have a nice time 
tonight.  Do you know that I have been waiting to 
punish you ever since the first time I saw you?  And 
now I have my wish."

	"Mmmmph," commented Janet.

	"Now then, what shall I do with you?" asked 
Andrea.

	In no time at all, Janet again found herself 
stretched into the shape of an X.  Her wrists and 
ankles had been attached to spreader bars, and she was 
slightly suspended so that her heels barely touched the 
floor.

	Andrea was wearing a leather bra and skirt, with a 
pair of thigh high boots completed her outfit.  A 
studded collar adorned her neck; it's shiny parts 
catching the light.

	"Like my outfit?  Pity I can't dress this way all 
the time, but Erica is the Mistress of the house, after 
all."

	Andrea stepped behind her and removed the gag from 
Janet's mouth.  Janet breather deeply in relief when 
the rubber ball was gone.  However, Janet noted that 
Andrea had buckled the gag around her neck, so it would 
not be far when it would be needed again.

	Janet reacted with fear when Andrea removed a 
slender riding crop from the wall.  She watched with 
apprehension as Andrea flexed the crop with her two 
hands, finally striking it against the side of one of 
her leather boots.

	"You know, Janet," Andrea began, "I've been 
waiting for this for a long time.  Ever since that 
first day when you were here, and I pinched those 
nipples of yours and fondled your sex.  All the times I 
brought you down here for training by Erica made me 
very jealous."

	"Yes, Mistress Andrea," Janet answered.

	"I was really astonished at the way you took to 
training.  I had originally thought that you were no 
more than a fake that would run after her first time 
but you proved me wrong."

	"Yes, Mistress."

	"All I could do in the past was to feel your 
breasts and sex.  But now, I've got you just where I 
want you."

	Janet could only nod her head in reply.

	"I'm sure that the two of us can have a really 
fine time tonight, darling."

	Janet had expected to be struck with the crop at 
that moment, but instead Andrea merely clicked her 
heels in walking closer to her.  She was not really 
surprised when she felt her naked sex being probed by 
Andrea.  In spite of her bound position, Janet found 
herself responding to Andrea's efforts.

	"Tell me Janet, what do you prefer?  The whip, or 
my touch?"

	"What, Mistress?" Janet asked.

	"You weren't paying attention, now were you?  You 
were just getting off," accused Andrea.

	"Yes, I mean no, Mistress.  I mean........."

	"I know what you mean.  It's very dangerous to let 
your attention wander when the woman controlling you is 
holding a crop, don't you agree?"

	"Yes, Mistress."

	"Now, what shall I do with you?  You're a bad 
girl."

	"Whatever you please, Mistress."

	"Now be a good slave girl and kiss the crop that 
you like so much, and ask me to punish you harshly with 
it."

	When the crop was offered to her, Janet kissed the 
handle several times.  She pretended that it was Erica 
holding the crop, not Andrea.

	"Mistress Andrea, please punish me with your 
riding for being a bad slave girl."

	For her request, Janet received a stroke to her 
behind.  The crop's slash left a stripe of pure agony 
on her naked rear.  Janet strained against her bonds, 
making the chains rustle in response.

	Andrea began to circle her captive, striking Janet 
occasionally with the crop.  Janet had expected Andrea 
to strike her repeatedly, but instead the Dominant had 
decided on a pattern of random stripes on Janet's bound 
figure.  The strokes touched every part of her exposed 
female form, placing stripes wherever the crop finally 
landed.  All that Janet could do was to wait in her 
chains for the next stroke.  Andrea, unlike the other 
Dominants that Janet had experienced, was in no hurry 
to punish.  Rather, she seemed content to take her 
time.  Each stroke with the crop was carefully aimed, 
and delivered with deadly accuracy.

	"Well now," commented Andrea, "do you think that 
after all these months of waiting, I would rush?  No, I 
prefer something a little slower.  Once we finish, I 
think that you'll find that I punish girls rather 
effectively!"

	"Yes, Mistress," Janet answered.

	"I believe that a slave girl should be punished 
slowly, like a work of art.  There's nothing like 
erotic anticipation to heighten the senses."

	Janet nodded her head in assent.

	"I'm so glad that you agree.  Why, this is one 
night that we both shall remember," said Andrea.

	Andrea next hung up the crop and removed the whip 
from the wall.  She ran the thin leather through her 
hands, feeling the well-oiled leather flex and bend.  
Andrea was responsible for the upkeep of Erica's 
Dungeon.  It had taken her some time, and many 
punishments, before she had learned the care and upkeep 
of Erica's things.  For each time that she had made a 
mistake, Erica had made certain to use that very 
instrument on her that night.

	Janet tensed herself against the whip, screaming 
each time it hit a spot made tender by the crop.  
Andrea took her time with her captive, making each 
stoke count.

	"Well now, Janet.  Having a good time?"

	"Yes, Mistress.  Please punish me."

	"Now let's see just how you are doing," said 
Andrea.

	Janet watched in silence as Andrea reached out and 
pulled and pinched at her erect nipples.  She moaned in 
response since she was already aroused.  Then Andrea 
reached down and inserted her finger into Janet's sex.

	"Wet, aren't we?" commented Andrea.

	"Yes, Mistress."

	"You're such a bondage slut, you know," said 
Andrea.

	Janet's whipping continued.  Andrea knew just how 
to place the cruel thong so that it would produce the 
most agony for her naked thrall.  She twisted in her 
bonds, unable to escape from the awful agony that the 
Mistress inflicted upon her exposed flesh.

	"Tell me, Janet.  If Erica or some other Mistress 
were to offer you the chance at being their permanent 
live in slave, would you take them up on it?  Would you 
quit you job in exchange for wearing a Maid's outfit 
and being at their beck and call 24 hours a day?" asked 
Andrea.

	"Yes, Mistress," Janet answered, "I would gladly 
give up my freedom for the life of a slave girl."

	Janet did not know why Andrea had forced the 
admission out of her regarding slavery.  Perhaps Andrea 
was jealous that Janet could resume her normal life, 
while Andrea's life was quite different.

	"I know that the idea secretly thrills you.  
Perhaps when you take your vacation, Erica will oblige 
you by keeping you here for two weeks.  You would like 
that, wouldn't you?"

	"Yes, Mistress.  I would like that very much."

	"Except that what you want doesn't count.  All 
that matters is what Erica wants.  For that statement, 
we shall continue."

	"Yes, Mistress," Janet answered fitfully.

	Again, Janet expected to be gagged.  Instead, 
Andrea produced a pair of nipple clamps from inside her 
leather bra.

	"Rather a good place to store these," said Andrea.

	Janet winced as they were applied to her erect 
nipples, excited by her nakedness and discipline.

	"Janet, you really have become a good girl.  You 
have become used to the clamps, aren't you?"

	"Yes, Mistress," Janet answered.

	Hanging up the whip, Andrea then selected the cat.  
It was composed of a solid leather wrapped handle, with 
several thin strands of leather that ended in a small 
leather knot.  Having already experienced the cat, 
Janet knew and feared its effect.

	"We'll continue with the cat," said Andrea.

	Andrea displayed the cat to Janet, who shivered 
with fright inside her chains.  There was nothing that 
she could say or do to stop Andrea from having her way 
with her!

	"Yes, Mistress," answered Janet.

	Andrea proceeded to strike her with the cat.  Each 
strand left it's imprint on Janet's figure, with the 
knot leaving a red welt.  In spite of her best efforts, 
Janet soon found that she was crying.  Not out of pain, 
but rather out of joy.  She was aroused and excited by 
everything that had happened to her tonight, and she 
loved being disciplined by Andrea.

	It was true what she had heard from Mistress 
Erica.  She enjoyed being a slave girl, no matter who 
kept her in chains and yielded the whip!

	The cat left several marks where the whip and crop 
merely left one.  It felt as if her entire body was on 
fire, and sweat poured from her and ran down her naked 
and exposed form.  Instead of a quick series of 
punishment like Blanca had administered, this was a 
slow form of erotic agony that threatened to consume 
her.

	"Mistress," cried Janet, "The cat hurts!"

	"I know, Janet.  Not much longer now, until I'm 
satisfied."

	Pulling at her bonds in a futile effort to escape, 
all that Janet could to was to strain her already tired 
muscles.   The stress of being suspended and punished 
was becoming too much for Janet to bear.  Tears 
continued to escape her eyes, and she had no way of 
drying them.

	After one final vicious stoke with the cat between 
her legs and onto her shaven pussy, Andrea stopped.

	"Thank you, Mistress," cried Janet.

	Janet was offered the cat, and she proceeded to 
kiss the handle like it was the lips of a cherished 
lover.  She could only wonder about the new marks that 
Andrea had just inflicted upon her, and what they 
looked like.

	"Ready for something else?" asked Andrea.

	"Whatever my Mistress desires," replied Janet.

	Janet soon found herself lowered to the floor, and 
she gasped when her strained form buckled when her legs 
wouldn't take her weight.  Andrea quickly released her 
from the spreader bars, and led Janet to the wooden 
horse that she had been bound and bent over on.

	"Stand here for a while," ordered Andrea.

	"Yes, Mistress.  Thank you, Mistress," gasped 
Janet.

	Quickly, Janet recovered from her ordeal.  She 
took a few trail steps, and found that she had regained 
the use of her legs.  It seemed like such a grand 
erotic tableau with her naked in the Dungeon and at the 
mercy of a Mistress!

	"Feel better?" asked Andrea.

	"Yes, Mistress," Janet quickly answered.

	"Good."

	Naked, all that Janet could do was to keep her 
hands at her sides.  She had learned from hard 
experience that she must always leave her breasts and 
sex exposed, so that they would be available for 
whatever the Mistress would desire.

	"You certainly have been well trained," 
complimented Andrea.

	Janet had a moment to silently reflect to herself 
that all of the taunts that Andrea had hurled at her 
were essentially true.  In the time since she had 
consented to become a slave girl, she had done things 
that she would never have done before.  Naked before 
other women, bound and chained, and finally whipped on 
a regular basis.  Janet Davis was definitely not the 
same girl as the one several months ago that had 
disrobed in front of Mistress Erica and consented to 
slavery.  Now she eagerly accepted her role and looked 
forward to each encounter with her owner.

	"Janet, come over here," commanded Andrea.

	Janet did as she was ordered.  Andrea grabbed her 
wrists, and pulled and then locked them behind her 
back.  Next, she felt the gag being unbuckled, and she 
opened her mouth wide in anticipation of having the 
ball once again in her mouth.  Janet was not 
disappointed, and she suffered in silence as the ball 
entered her mouth and was secured in back.  Janet was 
once again bound and helpless, and her heart beat 
swiftly in her chest in expectancy over what might 
befall her next.

	"There now," said Andrea, "all tied up and no 
place to.  We're not finished just yet."

	Janet felt like squealing when Andrea finally 
removed her nipple clamps.  Both her nipples were red 
and raw from having worn them for so long.  Whenever 
the cat's strands had struck them, Janet had winced in 
agony but had kept from showing Andrea just how it had 
made her feel.

	"Come along now," commanded Andrea after she had 
attached a leash to Janet's collar.

	The two walked in silence through the well-lit 
corridors of Erica's Dungeon, Janet wondering just how 
big the place below ground really was.  When they had 
been chained together one evening, Tiffany had told 
Janet that this sub-basement had originally been a 
disused fallout shelter from the fifties.  It was a 
perfect location for a Dominant's Dungeon, and Erica 
had evidently spent a lot of money down here.

	When they arrived in another room, Janet was 
disappointed to see that all it contained was a wooden 
box in the center.  It was about five feet long and two 
wide and only appeared to be a few inches high.  Janet 
could not possibly imagine just what the thing was for!

	After she was pulled closer, its purpose became 
quite apparent to Janet.  She had been a slave girl 
long enough to recognize how a new device could be used 
on a girl.  At the bars on the edges of the box were 
circular holes meant to imprison wrists and ankles.  On 
one side was a hinge, the other a hasp lock.  It was a 
variation on the usual set of stocks, except this was 
lying flat on the floor.  It would force a girl to rest 
on her hands and heels, and expose her bottom to what a 
Mistress would desire!

	"Now don't give me any trouble, and it won't hurt 
too much," advised Andrea.

	Andrea opened one side, and Janet hesitantly 
placed her ankles in the half circles of wood.  Andrea 
closed the bar and locked a padlock into the hasp.  
Immobility was the purpose of the stocks, and they 
performed their goal well with a naked girl inside 
them.  Janet's leash was then removed, and her wrists 
were drawn into their wooden prison.  When the padlock 
was closed, Janet found that she was truly a prisoner 
again.

	"Have to get something.  Be right back, don't run 
away," happily said Andrea.

	With her wrists and ankles restrained in the 
stocks and her behind up in the air, Janet knew that 
Andrea had made a joke at her expense.  She had 
demonstrated her submission to Erica, Stephanie, 
Blanca, Tiffany and now Andrea.  Even if Janet wore the 
key to the padlocks around her neck, there was no way 
that she could open the locks with her hands imprisoned 
by the wood.

	Janet had not counted the number of strokes that 
Andrea had inflicted, but even though they had hurt 
severely, Janet guessed that they far below what Erica 
would have done.  Perhaps Andrea knew that if she hurt 
Janet too much, she herself would have felt Erica's 
wrath.  So it was one of the more mild nights that she 
had been a slave girl.  Locked in the stocks, she 
wondered what would happen next!

	"Have a nice wait?" asked Andrea on her return.

	"Mmmmph!" cried Janet.

	Her eyes widened when she saw that Andrea was 
wearing the same dildo harness that Erica had used on 
her before.  Andrea had removed her leather clothing 
except for her boots and collar, and her breasts were 
free.  Around her waist was the leather belt, and 
protruding from the harness was a large phallus.

	Before, Janet had taken it from the front.  Bound 
in the stocks, she was now going to take it from the 
rear.

	"Now just so you don't think that I'm being 
cruel," said Andrea as she produced a tube of lubricant 
and spread some on the shaft.

	Janet soon saw that Andrea was standing behind 
her, by looking backwards through her imprisoned arms 
and legs.  Andrea ran the tip of the phallus around 
Janet's behind, making sure to brush the thing against 
her ass cheeks.  In a moment of panic, Janet was sure 
that it would be her anus that would be entered.  
However, the thing was guided down and further between 
her legs.

	Janet soon felt the capable hands of Andrea reach 
out and were placed firmly on Janet's hips.  Andrea's 
fingers dug into Janet's flesh, holding Janet firmly in 
place as Andrea maneuvered the dildo towards it's 
objective.  Before her slavery, Janet had only had sex 
on her back.  Any other position she had considered was 
somehow improper.

	She flinched when she sensed the dildo enter her 
sex, and moaned from within the gag.  Andrea was 
experienced, and she held onto Janet to steady her as 
the dildo was pushed deeper into her sex.  Soon, Andrea 
was sliding the phallus back and forth, performing 
intercourse with the phallus.

	"Mmmmmph!" cried Janet.

	"You must really be having a good time," commented 
Andrea.

	Strange as it was, it was better than being 
whipped, thought Janet.  Even though it was now her sex 
that was being violated, it was infinitely better than 
being punished again.

	Janet also wondered why her sexual climaxes always 
seemed more intense when she was gagged.  In all of her 
prior sexual experiences, she had never felt anything 
like what she was having now.

	She reacted to Andrea's thrusts by trying to match 
her thrusts.  There was no escape, and Janet found that 
she enjoyed being used in this manner.

	"You're really getting off on this, aren't you?" 
asked Andrea.

	The dildo continued to drive itself deep within 
Janet's sex, and she felt like she was ready to climax.

	"You can't climax before you're allowed," 
commanded Andrea, "else there will be quite a 
punishment for that.  Do you understand?"

	Janet restrained herself, trying to control her 
arousal.  She had embarrassed herself when she had 
slipped with Erica, and her reward was to have her 
pussy shaven and bare.  She did not want to fail again!

	Her long hair had fallen nearly to the floor, and 
she was sweating from her sexual exertions.  Her skin 
tickled as she felt the beads of sweat form, then run 
down her naked and exposed form.

	The strokes of the phallus seemed endless, and 
Janet wondered just how long she could contain herself 
before she experienced a shattering climax.  It felt 
like her entire body was a bow ready to be released.

	"Now!" said Andrea.

	When the climax came, Janet felt as if her sex had 
exploded in a shower of sensation.  The multiple 
orgasms sent shudders throughout her entire body.  She 
could only moan through her gag, being denied the use 
of her mouth.  Janet stole a glance at Andrea, who was 
obviously excited by her exertions also.  Her naked 
body glistened with sweat, with a fine sheen on her 
body.

	"You are really a little slut," began Andrea, 
"liking yourself used in this manner.  I have seen many 
women since I have been with Erica changed from frigid 
cunts to slaves that enjoyed themselves.  But you 
seemed to like slavery from the start.  You may not 
always be a slave girl.  But I can tell you one 
observation: you will look back on this period of your 
sex life as the most exciting time that you will ever 
have.  You will find sex with men boring and shallow in 
comparison to being chained and whipped, or being able 
to discipline another slave like yourself."

	Janet did not know why Andrea had chosen to 
lecture her at that moment.  She was still recovering 
from the massive orgasms that had coursed through her 
body, and she felt dizzy with excitement.  The rubber 
ball was still held firmly within her mouth by the 
leather strap, and she was unable to respond.

	"Let me take your gag out," said Andrea.

	True to her work, Andrea walked around and 
unbuckled the gag strap.  When the ball was removed, 
Janet took several deep breaths.

	"Thank you, Mistress," panted Janet.

	"The bad thing about the stocks you are bound in 
is that they are rather limiting.  I think that I'll 
release you for your next ordeal."

	Janet was thankful when she watched Andrea unlock 
the two steel padlocks that held her within the stocks.  
Andrea released Janet's wrists and ankles from within 
their wooden prisons.  Janet was glad to stand again 
after having been bent over while her sex was being 
used.

	"Thank you for releasing me, Mistress," said Janet 
as she stood before Andrea and massaged her wrists.

	She stole a glance at herself in the mirror.  
Naked, her flesh bore the marks that she had received 
that night.  Her cheeks and makeup were tear stained, 
and her hair was a mess.  But somehow that didn't 
matter, as she was happy to be here with Andrea.

	Janet recalled that she was in love with Mistress 
Erica.  But when she had been loaned to Mistress 
Stephanie, Stephanie had observed that Janet desired to 
be used by any woman.

	"Hands behind your back," ordered Andrea.

	It was by now quite normal for Janet to have her 
hands locked behind her back, rendering her helpless.  
She often wondered why her ankles weren't hobbled by 
chain, except that the five-inch heels already imposed 
a disciple upon her that make every step a cautious 
exercise.

	"Do you enjoy wearing cuffs?" asked Andrea.

	"Yes, Mistress," answered Janet.

	Attaching a leash to Janet's collar, Andrea led 
Janet out through the dungeons back to the elevator.  
She paused to unlock the harness around her waist, 
leaving the harness near the instruments that she had 
used tonight.

	"I have to clean them before Erica returns, or it 
will be my hide that gets whipped," stated Andrea.

	"Yes, Mistress."

	"Now for your final task of the night," said 
Andrea.

	Janet was blindfolded, cutting off her sight.  
Andrea led her to the elevator, and they ascended 
upstairs.  Gently pulled along, she felt Andrea leading 
her somewhere.  They walked for a brief period, before 
they entered a room.  Janet felt her leash being 
attached to something, before she was made to kneel 
down.

	When her blindfold was removed again, she saw that 
she was in one of the bedrooms.  She was chained to a 
ringbolt set in the wall, and Andrea was seated on the 
bed, wearing nothing but the collar and boots.

	She opened her legs to invite Janet within.

	"Service me, Janet, or else it will be the riding 
crop," said Andrea.

	Janet walked on her knees over to Andrea, and 
began to slowly make love to her.  With her hands 
locked behind her back, all she could use was her 
tongue, lips, and teeth.  When she had spent the night 
with Blanca, the Dominant had taught her how to use her 
mouth to service a woman.  When she had showed 
hesitancy or inexperience, Janet had been rewarded with 
multiple strokes on her thighs.

	Janet thought that she was moderately experienced 
in giving another woman pleasure, and soon Andrea was 
aroused and shaking from Janet's efforts.  Janet bit 
and tugged at her outer lips, then tongued her clit 
again and again.  She stole a glance at Andrea, and saw 
that she was flushed with excitement and passion.

	Andrea grabbed Janet's head and pulled it deeper 
between her legs, moaning all the time.  Breathing 
though her nose, Janet continued to service Andrea.  
Finally her efforts were rewarded when Andrea let loose 
in a shuddering climax that shook the bad.  Her 
leather-clad legs surrounded Janet, and the combined 
aroma of Andrea's wet sex and leather almost 
overwhelmed Janet into stopping.

	Andrea shuddered again and again, each climax 
bringing her waves of pleasure.  She rocked back and 
forth, holding her prisoner tightly between her legs.

	When the last climax ended, she drew Janet up and 
unlocked her wrists.  Andrea then removed her boots, 
unzipping them from thigh to heel.  She folded them on 
the floor.

	They shared a drink from a pitcher on the 
nightstand, and then Andrea invited Janet into the bed 
beside her.

	"Now then, shall we begin again?" asked Andrea.

	Janet did not know when they finished because 
Andrea had been inexhaustible and she was totally 
spent.  All Janet remembered was that she finally 
passed out sometime during the late night.

Part Two: Saturday

	The next morning, Janet was released.  Her leash 
was unlocked first, followed by her collar and 
bracelets.  Andrea had unlocked her shoes before they 
had gone to bed the previous evening, so they lay 
scattered on the bedroom floor.

	"Why did you honor Erica's instructions?" asked 
Janet after her bracelets had been removed.

	"Because I would pay a terrible price if I 
disobeyed," answered Andrea.

	"What now?"

	"I'm your slave today," said Andrea.

	"So let's start with a bath," ordered Janet.

	"Yes, Mistress."

	Janet was then bathed and massaged, and her hurt 
skin tended to.  Lying naked on a massage table (did 
Erica have everything in the house) she enjoyed having 
Andrea pamper her.  Afterwards, she had dressed in a 
terry robe and slippers while Andrea had cleaned 
herself and dressed herself in latex uniform.

	Going through Andrea's room, she discovered a 
chastity belt and ordered her to wear it under her 
uniform.  She made certain that Andrea locked her shoes 
upon her feet, and closed the padlocks herself.

	Then she was treated to a large breakfast, which 
Erica had probably planned for her all along.  Janet 
felt like she was Mistress of the house.  Finally, 
after her third cup of black coffee and finishing the 
Times, she wondered just what else to do.

	"Andrea?" called Janet.

	"Yes, Mistress," replied Andrea.

	"What do I do about getting dressed?  I only have 
the clothes I wore yesterday.  I can't stay in a robe 
all day.  I never did that at home all day either."

	"Please come with me," said Andrea.

	Janet was directed into one of the bedrooms.  
Inside the closet was a collection of clothes of 
varying sizes, enough for several girls.  Janet 
selected silk underwear, stockings and a black garter 
belt.  She finished off her outfit with a silk blouse 
and a red leather skirt.  Finally, she chose a pair of 
red leather pumps that were only normal height, which 
did not get locked onto her feet.

	Andrea prepared her hair, setting it with combing 
and a blast of hairspray.  When she was done, Janet 
admired herself in the bedroom mirror.

	She smoothed her skirt down with her hands when 
she stood up, and was happy for her appearance.

	"I wish that I had known you when I was dating," 
said Janet, "I've never looked this good before."

	"Thank you, Mistress.  If I may be excused, I have 
the chores to do," said Andrea.

	"Yes, of course, you are dismissed," ordered 
Janet.

	Having done the chores in both Erica's and 
Stephanie's house, she knew the penalty her Maid would 
face if they were neglected.  So she decided to let 
Andrea do her work in peace.  Besides, she would have 
the full use of her this evening, so there was no rush.

	It seemed strange, walking through the mansion 
wearing clothes and sensible heels, and imagining that 
she was the Mistress of the house.  She found the house 
well appointed but not excessive.  There was none of 
the gaudy extravagance Erica had told Janet that she 
despised in her house, and the Mistress had indeed 
lived up to her words.

	True, there were the antiques and paintings.  But 
they were displayed in an unassuming fashion, with no 
clue as to their true worth.

	Except that in this house, all of the rooms had 
ringbolts set in the walls at numerous locations.  
Janet wondered just what she had told the contracts why 
she needed them, and what she told her "normal" guests 
what they were for.

	Janet speculated on what some guests might have 
thought of the rings, and if they knew that they were 
used to keep slave girls chained beside this Mistress's 
bed and available for use.

	To pass the time, Janet found that Erica had a 
large and wonderful library.  She discovered that Erica 
also had a large collection of Adult materials, and 
passed the time watching a couple of Bondage tapes.  As 
an experiment, she also tried to watch a straight sex 
video, but found it boring by comparison.

	"Once you've been in the Dungeon," she said aloud. 
"Everything else seems dull by comparison."

	There were also plenty of catalogs for bondage 
gear and fetish equipment, and Janet wasted no time in 
copying down some phone numbers and addresses.  Since 
she had already admitted to her Mistress that she 
dressed up at home, Janet was eager to add to her 
collection.

	On a whim, she decided to explore Erica's bedroom.  
Since she was Mistress of the house for a day, she 
thought that would give her the right to look in 
Erica's closet.  She wanted to see just what clothes 
Erica possessed!

	With Andrea doing the laundry, she went into 
Erica's room.  It was unlocked, and Janet didn't know 
if she was being taped or not.  Still, all she did was 
to open Erica's walk in closet (she had lived in 
apartments smaller than that closet).

	She gasped when she saw the contents.  Not did it 
contain the usual career clothing that a working woman 
would have (suits, dresses, and evening gowns) plus 
jeans and tops, heels and old sweatshirts and sneakers.  
Taking up a good portion of the closet was a section 
that contained clothing that would have raised eyebrows 
in the working world.

	Outfits of leather, rubber, and PVC.  Catsuits, 
bodysuits, and dresses.  Latex stockings, and footwear 
of many varieties.  She picked up some of the high 
heels and boots, and wondered fantasized how many girls 
had been made to lick them.

	"Mistress," said Andrea.

	"Andrea, you startled me," said Janet, as she 
nearly dropped the boot that she had been handling.

	"Sorry, I was here to put something away."

	"Continue."

	"Thank you, Andrea.  I won't be punished for 
looking in here, will I?" asked Janet.

	"Unless you steal or damage something, no.  But 
there's plenty of fetish clothing you can use later 
tonight, so you won't have to use something of Erica's.  
She might get a little disturbed about that, Mistress."

	Janet knew that Andrea was speaking the truth.  
She put the boot down, and retreated to the library.  
Then she got her coat, and took a walk outside.  The 
entire estate was enclosed and walled off, and she 
noted that there were no trees that were allowed to 
over the wall.  The top of the wall was covered in 
something, but Janet couldn't see it properly.  Janet 
guessed that there were electronic alarms all over the 
place.  Erica would certainly not be getting any 
unannounced visitors!

	For lunch, Janet was again treated to a meal that 
was simply wonderful.  After she finished her chicken 
marsala, she felt like taking a nap.  Instead, she 
curled up with a novel in the library.

	Like a magnet, the Dungeon exerted a strange pull 
on her.  At odd moments, she imagined herself 
downstairs again.  She daydreamed that she was bound 
and chained at Erica's mercy.

	She napped and dreamed, and was not certain what 
was the dream.  Was she still in the Dungeon, or was 
she upstairs being Mistress for a day?

	Getting up afterwards, she passed Andrea in the 
hall.

	"Mistress?" asked Andrea.

	"Yes, Andrea."

	"Could you let me out of the belt?  I have to go 
to the bathroom, Mistress."

	"Of course," answered Janet.

	When she had selected the belt in the morning, 
Janet had made sure that she had kept the key in her 
blouse pocket.  She was amazed that Andrea had managed 
to hold herself for that long, as Janet would have been 
asking for relief hours before.

	Janet unlocked Andrea and let her go.  When she 
was finished, Janet wanted to see just what it meant to 
have someone available to her.

	Before she locked Andrea into the belt again, she 
made her remove her uniform.  Andrea's breasts hung 
naked and free, since she did not wear a bra under the 
tight latex.

	Janet pinched and fondled them, with Andrea 
handcuffed to a bedpost.  She had asked Andrea where 
she might find a few things, and she had done so 
without question.

	Andrea's nipples soon grew hard and her breathing 
short.  Janet stimulated her, and found that her sex 
was wet in response to her actions.

	"Have you ever had your cunt shaved?" asked Janet.

	"Yes, Mistress.  Many times."

	Just as a test, she fingered Andrea's sex, and 
found her already wet with desire.

	"It seems that I'm not the only slut around here," 
said Janet.

	"No, Mistress.  I'm Erica's bondage slut."

	Janet had selected a riding crop and delivered 
several sharp strokes to Andrea's behind.  She watched 
with approval as it left red stripes on her buttocks 
and made Andrea moan with pain or pleasure.

	Then Janet released her, locked the chastity belt 
around her waist, and ordered her to get dressed.  
Janet left the bedroom, and was pleased at her modest 
actions.  She wondered how a Maid's agency would react 
if a job description for this house would pass through 
their office!

	Dinner was a grand affair, complete with Candles, 
a rich beef stew, and red wine.  For the occasion, 
Janet had changed out of her day clothes and chose a 
black evening dress made entirely of black latex.  
Andrea had helped her into it, and zipped her up in the 
back.

	Janet remembered how she'd been used as a naked 
serving girl, and it was rather different to be served 
on the other side of the table.  After finishing her 
dessert, which had been a big piece of German chocolate 
cake, she adjourned to the library for a brandy.

	Walking through the library, Janet enjoyed the 
tight feel of the latex, and the sensual way it clung 
to her figure.  She loved it squishiness and it's 
sound, and wondered why she had never wanted to have 
anything like it before.
She carried a brandy snifter, and the carafe sat on the 
library desk.

	Janet remembered when she and Camille had served 
the two Mistresses, and how friendly they seemed.  She 
fantasized that one-day she would be a Mistress, and 
enjoy the company of others of similar rank.  And to 
enjoy the attention of slaves to her every whim!

	However, it was lonely passing the time.  
Television watching seemed dull, and watching a tape 
only whet her appetite for when she would have the 
chance to dominate Andrea.

	Janet longed for another Mistress in the house, 
and wished that Erica had provided a surrogate for 
herself.  It was agonizing watching the clock turn so 
slowly!

	Later in the evening, Andrea undressed her.  Janet 
chose something simple: a black bodysuit, thigh high 
boots, and opera length gloves.  She chose to wear PVC, 
because it seemed different and she had never worn 
anything with the fabric before.

	Since there were just the two of them, Janet had 
Andrea remove all her clothes.  Janet removed her 
chastity belt also, since she wanted to outfit Andrea 
the way that she was usually prepared.

	Janet locked the collar and bracelets on Andrea, 
then locked her hands together.  She attached a leash 
to her collar, and secured that to the bedpost.  
Finally, she placed a blindfold over her eyes, cutting 
off Andrea's vision.  Going though the large collection 
of toys that Erica possessed, Janet found something 
different than the usual ballgag.

	This was a gag that had a molded phallus of thick 
rubber.  It had a breathing hole running though it, and 
closed by means of a roller buckle in the back.

	"Open wide," ordered Janet.

	Andrea did so, and Janet inserted the penis gag.  
Andrea's lips and teeth surrounded the object, and 
Janet pulled it tight.  She buckled it at the back of 
Andrea's neck.

	Just as a test, Janet started to pinch Andrea's 
exposed nipples.  She twisted the left harshly, as she 
wanted Andrea to make a response to her actions.

	"Mmmmmph!" cried Andrea.

	"Good girl," said Janet.

	Janet admired her handiwork, and looked at the two 
of them in the bedroom mirror.  Could she really be a 
Mistress?  She knew what she was already excited, and 
the night had not yet begun.

	Janet left Andrea locked and helpless in the 
bedroom.  She wanted to do a little more exploring, and 
she didn't want Andrea to spoil her fun.  There was 
nothing that she could while bound and helpless.

	Janet then proceeded to search through the house, 
even if she didn't know just what she had been looking 
for.  With Andrea safely chained in a bedroom, she knew 
that this would be her only chance to search 
undisturbed.  But she still believed that she was 
somehow being monitored.  Probably even by Erica, since 
this entire weekend was too good to be true.

	Then she had it.  Everyone acquires detritus in 
life.  Papers, old stuff that they get attached to and 
don't want to throw out.  Either Erica had it stored 
somewhere, or she lived a really clean life.

	Suddenly that summer she spent cleaning out houses 
for estate sales and the weird things that she had 
discovered didn't seem like such a waste after all.

	She hurried back the bedroom; half expecting to 
see an empty leash attached to the bedpost.  Instead, 
Andrea was still seated naked on the bed just where 
Janet had left her.

	"Well, now," said Janet, "it seems that we have a 
date together, don't we?"

	"Mmmmmph!" 

	"My exact words, too," said Janet.

	Janet unlocked Andrea and pulled her to her feet.  
They went in the elevator down to the Dungeon, and she 
knew that she was going to have some fun today after 
all.

	Andrea came along willingly, not that any girl in 
her position could offer any real resistance.  Moving 
along when her leash was pulled, she had been in this 
position many times before.  Now that she belonged to 
Janet for tonight, it was going to be interesting to 
see just what would happen.

	Janet looked over all the interesting things in 
the Dungeon.  Earlier, she had settled on what she 
would do to Andrea.  Now the only question was, would 
she be able to go through with it?

	Against the Dungeon wall was something that Erica 
had not placed her on.  It was a big X frame with 
plenty of straps to hold some girl in place.  It could 
also turn completely around, leaving a girl upside 
down.

	Janet pulled Andrea along to the X frame.  She 
unlocked her leash and wrist cuffs, then backed her 
onto the device.  Janet had to make her step up and 
backwards at the same time, since the thing was already 
about a foot off the Dungeon floor.

	When Andrea resisted, Janet proceeded to pinch her 
right nipple until Andrea squealed.  Then her defiance 
ceased, and Janet had no trouble placing her in the 
thing.

	There were rings to attach to her bracelets, and a 
series of straps to hold her in place.  In a short 
time, Andrea was quite helpless.  Janet then removed 
her blindfold and ballgag.

	"Better now?" asked Janet.

	"Yes, Mistress," answered Andrea.

	"Now then," said Janet, "I think that the riding 
crop will do for a start."

	"Yes, Mistress," said Andrea.

	Janet selected the same crop that Andrea had used 
on her the previous evening.  It had a broad leather 
pad, one that would strike with a satisfying sound, yet 
distribute the force of the impact over a wide area.  
It was a good thing to start with.

	Janet flexed the riding crop in her gloved hands.  
She knew full well that Andrea was responsible for it's 
upkeep, but she had to demonstrate that she knew how to 
handle it.

	"Kiss the crop," ordered Janet.

	When it was offered, Andrea did so without 
hesitation.  Her cheeks still bore the imprint of the 
heavy penis gag that she had worn for quite some time.

	"You may count the strokes, Andrea," ordered 
Janet.

	"One!" cried Andrea.

	Janet had started on the same nipple that she had 
just pinched, knowing full well that it was already 
sensitive.  The crop left a large and satisfying red 
mark on Andrea's aureole.

	"Two!"

	Janet struck Andrea inside her underarm, since the 
skin there was sensitive since girls had to shave 
there.

	"Five!" cried Andrea.

	The fifth stroke landed on the flat of her 
stomach.

	"Eight!"

	"Ten!" cried Andrea, panting from the crop.

	"There now, I see that you're finally in the 
mood," said Janet, "what do you have to say?"

	"Thank you, Mistress," replied Andrea.

	"Good.  Now we'll proceed."

	With the crop's pad, Janet began to strike the 
inside of Andrea's thighs.

	"Twelve!"

	Before, Janet had struck many parts of Andrea's 
figure.  Now she was limiting herself to Andrea's sex 
and her thighs.  Andrea squirmed and tried to pull 
away, but she was held fast by the bracelets and 
straps.

	"Eighteen!" cried Andrea, tears streaming down her 
cheeks.

	The strokes weren't very hard, but they did 
produce an excellent sound.  Rather by striking Andrea 
in the same places time after time, she was causing her 
slave girl real distress.

	"Twenty!  Mistress, please, no more between my 
legs," cried Andrea.

	"Kiss the crop," ordered Janet.

	Once Andrea did as she was ordered, Janet began 
again.  This time by striking at Andrea's breasts her 
underarms, and stomach.  Andrea counted each one, 
panting and on the verge of tears.

	"Thirty!"

	"That's enough for now," said Janet. "Let's see 
just how good a slave girl you really are."

	Janet fingered Andrea's sex and found that she was 
wet.  Since Janet had been between her legs last night, 
she knew that Andrea was insatiable.

	Unlocking the X frame, she slowly turned the bound 
girl in a complete 360 degree turn.  The bracelets held 
her fast to the frame, and the straps also held her in 
place.

	After two turns, she again locked Andrea in the 
upright position.  Andrea seemed no worse for wear 
after having been turned upside down twice, but Janet 
didn't want to take any chances.  She decided that the 
X frame was a good thing for show, but not very 
practical to use.

	"Thank you, Mistress," cried Andrea.

	Janet then selected the same cat that Andrea had 
also used on her, but she suddenly decided that there 
had to be a better way of confining her charge.

	She unlocked Andrea from the X frame, and decided 
that simplest was best.  So Andrea was soon bound with 
her hands hanging together from the ceiling chain, and 
a spreader bar to keep her legs apart.  Andrea was much 
more accessible that way.

	"Do you enjoy being a slave, Andrea?" asked Janet.

	"Yes, Mistress," answered Andrea.

	"Good, then I shall try my absolute best to make 
you feel uncomfortable tonight.  You'd like that, 
wouldn't you?"

	"Yes, Mistress."

	Janet circled her bound captive, and chose 
Andrea's bottom.  She lashed out, and the cat struck 
with deadly effect.  Each leather tipped strand left a 
thin red welt when it sliced though Andrea's flesh.

	"Owwww!" cried Andrea.

	Janet had told Andrea that she was freed from 
counting each stroke, and her charge moaned and cried 
with every impact.  While Andrea had been restrained in 
the use of punishment the previous night, Janet had 
decided that since she had been so nice today by not 
interfering with Andrea's work she was now free to 
place her in as much distress as possible.

	"Owww!"

	Janet steadily increased the severity of each 
stroke until she matched that of Erica's.  She could 
see that Andrea was steadily heating up, as droplets of 
her sweat began to trickle down her reddened flesh.

	The cat was a vicious instrument of torment.  No 
wonder the flogger, with softer strands was the 
preferred instrument.  However, Janet wanted to make 
her impression on Andrea.  It was highly likely that 
one day Janet would feel Andrea's lash again.  But 
Janet knew that it would be a long time, if ever before 
she would get the chance to discipline Andrea again!

	Once Janet was satisfied that Andrea was in real 
pain again, she offered the handle to her lips.  
Andrea, without having to be told, quickly began to 
kiss the handle.

	"What do you have to say?" asked Janet.

	"Thank you, Mistress," cried Andrea.

	"You have a nice situation here.  Living with 
Mistress Erica, preparing all of her girls for use, 
occasionally having the use of a girl.  I think that 
it's right for a change for you to be on the business 
end of the whip.  Don't you agree?"

	"Yes, Mistress," cried Andrea.

	Satisfying as the cat had been, it was now time 
for something else.  In a cabinet, she found the same 
clamps that Stephanie had introduced her to.  She 
displayed them to Andrea.

	"Perhaps we should make this more interesting," 
said Janet.

	"No!" cried Andrea, "not on my nipples!"

	"Where else?" asked Janet.

	It took no time for the hated clips to adorn 
Andrea's nipples and pussy lips.  Janet wondered just 
why Andrea, who was Erica's maid, didn't wear a 
medallion like Tiffany?  After all, since she was her 
Maid and presumably her number one slave, it would have 
seemed only natural.  Instead there was no mark or 
medallion, and Janet placed the clips on her pussy 
lips.  Andrea thrashed and moaned, and Janet pulled at 
a few of her pussy hairs.

	Under the PVC outfit that she wore, and under her 
panties, she remembered that her sex was totally bare.  
Just before she would leave the next morning, Janet 
would again be shaved to prevent her pubic hair from 
growing back.  She hoped that when Andrea shaved her, 
she would not try to exact revenge for her current 
ordeal.

	Once the clips were, Janet decided that it was 
time to caress and fondle Andrea.  She pulled at her 
breasts and behind, and felt her ribs through her 
stretched skin.  The respite from being whipped seemed 
to fortify Andrea, as her body ceased quivering from 
the punishment that Janet had delivered.

	Janet removed a coiled leather whip.  She had 
always wanted to see the whip wrap itself around 
Andrea's figure.

	"No, Mistress," cried Andrea, "not the whip, too!"

	"You're here to please your Mistress, aren't you?   
Well, you can please me by taking the whip."

	Hanging by her chains, Andrea dejectedly waited 
the whip to fall.  When it began to strike her naked 
and exposed body, she shrieked at Janet's continued 
punishment.

	"Mistress, please," cried Andrea, "no more.  I'm 
yours, please!"

	"Good, good.  Just a little more now," soothed 
Janet.

	After a few more strokes, Andrea began to sob.  
Janet reached between her legs and found that Andrea 
was sopping wet and ready to climax.

	"Mercy, Mistress!" cried Andrea.  "Mercy!"

	Janet stopped and offered the whip's handle to 
Andrea.  She kissed it like a passionate lover, not 
like an instrument of torment.

	"Enough, Andrea?" asked.

	"Thank you, Mistress," said Andrea, "Thank you for 
punishing me."

	"You're welcome, Andrea.  Now let's see just what 
else we can do together," said Janet.

	Janet let Andrea down, but did not remove her 
clips.  She wanted Andrea to wear them until they were 
together in the bedroom shortly.  She locked Andrea's 
wrists together and attached the leash to her collar.  
Janet did not bother to either blindfold or gag her, 
since it was her house that she served it.

	Instead, she led Andrea by her collar chain 
upstairs to the same bedroom where she had been used 
the previous night.  Once there, she brandished a crop 
that had placed there before and flexed it again and 
again.

	"You're not going to give me any trouble, are 
you?" asked Janet.

	"No, Mistress."

	Janet took off all of her PVC garments and neatly 
folded them on a chair.  She loved their feel, and 
wondered if they were easier to care for than either 
leather or rubber.  That was another question that 
would have to be answered in the future.

	"Come here," ordered Janet.

	Andrea had been standing in the bedroom, waiting 
for Janet's order.  Now she walked over to Janet and 
the naked dominant and slave stood facing one another.

	Janet removed her clips, and Andrea moaned when 
each one was taken off her.  Andrea looked visibly 
relieved that her ordeal was over.

	"Well now.  I guess that it's time to see if you 
can please your Mistress in other ways," said Janet. 
"Now get between my legs.  I want to see what you can 
do!"

	With her wrists locked behind her back, Andrea 
knelt on the floor and placed her mouth between Janet's 
legs.  Having been a slave for many years, she knew how 
to please her Mistress.  In no time, she had Janet 
moaning with pleasure.

	Janet spurred her on with light taps from the 
riding crop on her shoulders, and Andrea ignored them 
to concentrate on her sex instead.  Once Janet had 
climaxed, Janet locked her collar chain to the ringbolt 
set in the wall and turned out the lights.

	Janet used her all night until they both were worn 
out, and she was satisfied when she finally fell 
asleep.
	*				*				*	
	*
	The next morning, Janet sat rock still as her sex 
was again shaven.  She was worried that Andrea might 
nick or cut her, but nothing happened.  Janet knew that 
if Andrea somehow damaged her, it would be Erica who 
Andrea would have to face.  And Janet knew that Andrea 
did not want to incur Erica's wrath.

"Janet in Training" by sfmaster@worldnet.att.net
Chapter Seven: A Terrible Phone Call

	Janet Davis turned uneasily in her bed, as she had 
not been able to get any sleep at all that night.  It 
was not the traffic or anything in particular that was 
keeping her awake.  Rather, it was just a feeling that 
something was wrong.  She had tried everything to get 
to sleep, even taking a pill.  But nothing had worked, 
and the digital clock by her bed mocked her as it 
recorded the passing of time.

	It had already been one weekend since she had last 
seen Mistress Erica and Andrea.  Janet had suddenly 
realized just how much she missed being a slave by the 
absence of her normal weekend routine.  Instead of the 
limo to Greenwich and the sexual thrill of submission, 
she had merely spent the time alone in her apartment.  
Her friends had long since abandoned the idea of asking 
her for a Saturday night out.  None of them had any 
idea just what she had been doing for the last year.  
They had either assumed (As any girl might) that she 
already had a lover, or that she was just not 
interested in socializing with them.  Janet wondered 
how they might react if they knew that she spent her 
time in naked submission to another woman.

	The usual phone call had not come earlier in the 
week, leaving her disappointed and frustrated.  In 
desperation, she had gone to a local video store and 
rented two fetish films.  The boxes had pictures of 
bound naked girls, and Janet glanced at the 
description.  When she handed her choices to the 
salesclerk, the girl showed a little surprise.  Janet 
walked out of the store, her selections wrapped in a 
plastic bag.

	All that watching them that night had done was to 
increase her desire to see Mistress Erica.   She 
stripped off her clothing and instead watched the tapes 
naked wearing only her collar and bracelets.  Her 
nipples became erect and her heart beat faster.  She 
could not keep her fingers away from her shaven sex, 
her fingers following the fine tracery of lines across 
her skin.  The marks that bonded her to Mistress Erica!

	While she was glad that the next day was Saturday, 
she hoped that she would find something to pass the 
time.  It was going to be a lonely weekend without 
going to Erica's, and she missed Erica and her lash.  
Janet wondered why Erica had not simply sent her to 
Stephanie's for the weekend, as she had done before.  
Instead, Janet was left alone for the weekend.

	The sudden electronic buzz of the phone startled 
Janet.  The clock said 5 AM, and who could be calling 
her at this hour?

	"Hello?" she asked as she picked up the receiver.

	"Janet?" asked the caller.

	"Tiffany?" asked Janet.

	The voice sounded like Tiffany, but how could that 
be?  They were forbidden to trade numbers, let alone 
last names.  No, they were just property in the 
Dungeon.  So how could Tiffany have located her?

	"Janet, I have some bad news for you.  I just got 
a call from Erica's lawyer.  There's been a terrible 
accident!  Erica and Andrea were both killed in a plane 
accident in Mexico."

	"Tiffany, you must be joking," said Janet.

	"Look, I'm serious.  The lawyer will be calling 
you too.  She gave me your number so that I could call 
you first to break the news."

	When the realization that the news of Mistress 
Erica's death might just be true, Janet went cold 
inside.  From the time that she had been a slave girl, 
she had been prevented from getting to know Tiffany in 
any way.  It was hard to trade phone number when your 
mouth was filled by a ballgag, or when being chained in 
a Dungeon.  It was only because of a tragedy that 
Tiffany might get Janet's number at all.

	"Janet, are you still there?" asked Tiffany.

	"Yes, I'm just choked up, that's all.  I just 
can't believe it."

	"I know, I had the same feeling.  Let me get off 
the line, so the lawyer can call you.  Here is my 
number so you can call me tomorrow.  So that we can get 
together, OK?"

	Grabbing a pen, Janet wrote down her full name and 
number.  In turn, she gave Tiffany hers.  The two of 
them, who had shared so much before, could now finally 
share their names together!

	Her head spun with the news that Erica might be 
gone, that she would no longer be a slave girl to the 
Mistress that had introduced her to slavery.  What 
would her life be composed of now?  Would she be free?  
She fingered the ring on her index finger, with the 
incised links of chain on its surface.

	In a few moments, the phone rang.

	"Hello?" asked Janet.

	"Is this Janet Davis?" asked a female voice that 
sounded vaguely familiar.

	"Yes," trembled Janet.

	"My name is Blanca Sanchez, Erica Riken's lawyer.  
I'm calling to notify you of a tragedy, since Erica 
requested that if anything were ever to happen to her, 
you and Tiffany Gray are to be contacted."

	"Thank you," stuttered Janet.

	"I'll call with the funeral arrangements.  You and 
Tiffany will be inheriting Erica's estate, by the way.  
So you have to come to my office in Manhattan."

	"What about her family?" asked Janet.

	"She had no family or relatives.  That is why you 
and Tiffany have inherited the estate, but there are 
some conditions that will be explained to you, else you 
forfeit your rights.  But that can be explained later."

	Janet took down the lawyer's name and number, and 
was assured that she could be contacted day and night 
if needed.

	"Thank you," said Janet. "Do I know you?  Your 
voice sounds very familiar, Blanca."

	"It should.  Last time we met, you called me 
Mistress Blanca and we met at Mistress Stephanie's 
House.  You took my stripes very well."

	Janet was speechless, the next words caught in her 
throat.

	"Are you still on the line, Miss Davis?" 
questioned Blanca.

	"Yes," answered Janet.

	"Don't be fearful, I'm not going to discipline you 
for improper address!  I'm calling to fulfill my legal 
duties to the estate of Erica, my friend and client.  
So don't be afraid!"

	"Yes, Blanca," answered Janet.

	"Good.  I shall call you soon with the funeral 
details, and when we must meet to talk about the 
estate."

	"Thank you," said Janet.

	"Good bye, Janet," said Blanca.

	"Bye," said Janet as she put the phone down.

	Shock after shock!  Tiffany calling her with the 
news, then Blanca calls also!  Then finding out that 
Blanca was both a Mistress and Erica's lawyer, and that 
she and Tiffany were going to inherit the estate!

	Even though it was summer and the apartment was 
over eighty, Janet felt cold and lonely that night.  
She fingered her collar and bracelets, and curled up in 
a ball under the cold sweaty sheets.  Was she really 
free?

	The next day, Janet slept late.  It wasn't until a 
truck backfired that she finally woke up, and found 
that it was Ten AM.  She unlocked her bracelets and 
collar, dressed and made coffee.  She read the paper 
dejectedly, not caring about its contents.  All she saw 
was the ring on her index finger.

	Next to the phone were the numbers that she had 
written down before dawn.  She had somehow wanted to 
believe that it was all a dream, and that none of it 
had happened.  But instead, the numbers mocked her.

	Buzz!

	When she heard the phone, she somehow hoped that 
it might be the lawyer calling her to say that it had 
all been a horrible mistake.

	"Hello?" asked Janet.

	"Janet, its Tiffany.  How are you feeling?"

	"Lousy."

	"Look, I was calling to say let's get together.  
Tonight for dinner," Tiffany suggested.

	"I don't really feel like eating out," Janet 
answered.

	"No, I'll cook.  We'll eat, talk, and split a 
bottle of wine.  Besides, misery loves company.  So 
don't be alone," said Tiffany.

	"Really, I don't think so," said Janet.

	"Please, Janet!  What else do you have to do 
tonight besides cry?  I don't want to be alone either, 
so join me.   I promise I won't poison you, my cooking 
isn't that bad."

	"All right," Janet answered, "where do you live?"

	Janet found that Tiffany lived not far from her in 
a rented house just over the border in Nassau.  For a 
long time she had considered selling her car, since she 
had previously only used it on weekends.  Now she 
backed it out of her parking space, leaving her 
neighbors to wonder why she didn't go away by limo the 
previous evening.

	Tiffany lived a suburb like Janet's except that 
she rented the lower floor of a two family house.  She 
parked in the large driveway behind Tiffany's blue car, 
and Tiffany was waiting for her at the door.

	"Did you find my directions easy?" asked Tiffany.

	"Sure," said Janet as she entered the apartment.

	The house was small, and Tiffany had a small 
foyer, closet, living room, kitchen, and bedroom.  The 
rooms were OK, but small.

	"I also have the use of the backyard.  My landlord 
has a BBQ, so I cook outside."

	"Nice.  I can't do that at my apartment," said 
Janet.

	"How about a drink?" 

	"Wine OK?"

	"Fine."

	Tiffany had prepared for her guest, and she opened 
a bottle of white wine and poured two glasses.  They 
sat down in the living room, an awkward silence between 
them.

	"Well," said Tiffany after taking a sip of her 
drink, "what now?"

	"About what?  Erica's gone."

	"We're free!" said Tiffany.

	"No," answered Janet sipping from her glass, 
"we'll never be free."

	"What do you mean by that?" questioned Tiffany.

	"The things we've done and seen, the marks on our 
bodies.  Your ring and my shaved sex are reminders of 
the life we led as slaves.  The Dominants and Slaves 
we've met.  No, we're not free."

	"You have a sense of the dramatic," said Tiffany.

	"No.  Erica would not let us off from being slaves 
so easily, and I have a feeling that she had something 
planned for after her death."

	"We'll go to the funeral, see what the lawyer has 
to say.  And then go on from there," said Tiffany.

	At that moment a bell went off in the kitchen, 
cutting off further conversation.  Tiffany jumped up, 
and walked into the kitchen.

	"Chicken's ready," called Tiffany, holding an oven 
mitt.

	Much to her surprise, going to Tiffany's did 
improve her spirit.  Instead of eating alone at her 
apartment, Janet enjoyed going out and being with 
someone else.  It was strange to be eating during the 
weekend wearing clothes, as she was usually naked.

	Tiffany had prepared a nice dinner of baked 
chicken, potatoes, a vegetable, and cake.  She was a 
good host, and Janet enjoyed the company.  After 
eating, they took their coffee and cake outside.

	"That was very nice," complimented Janet.

	"Thank you.  I hate eating alone."

	"Ever live with a guy?" asked Janet.

	"Sure.  They all treated me like a dumb blonde, 
and they all ended up cheating on me."

	"How did you......?"

	"Become a slave?  I met some girl at a party who 
showed me her whip marks, I got introduced around, and 
I met someone.  She wasn't a very good Dominant, but I 
eventually found Erica.  Made my life more exciting.  
You?"

	"I got bored, and a friend introduced me."

	"At least you didn't take up something dangerous.  
Like skydiving," laughed Tiffany.

	Janet chuckled.  It was the first she felt good in 
days, since she had not seen Erica in two weeks.  
Tiffany had lifted her morose spirits.

	"Do you want to see a movie?  Go dancing?" asked 
Tiffany.

	"I haven't done any of those things for a long 
time," answered Janet.

	"Neither have I.  For at least three years, now.  
God, I wouldn't know where to go," said Tiffany.

	When Janet had arrived, there wasn't a cloud in 
the sky.  Now the sky boiled, and the wind was picking 
up.

	"Was there any rain forecast?" asked Janet.

	"Probably a summer thunderstorm.  Did you close 
your car window?"

	"No," said Janet, rising from her chair.

	They both ran to the driveway and Janet rolled up 
her window just in time to hear the first peal of 
thunder.  Then the sky broke, and it was like a solid 
wall of water coming down.

	"Wow!" yelled Tiffany.

	They both made a dash for the back door.  Even 
though the rain had only lasted for seconds, they were 
both soaking wet by the time they got inside.  Both 
took deep breaths and looked at each other, and saw 
that their clothes were plastered to each other.

	"Better get out of these clothes," said Tiffany.

	"I didn't bring anything," answered Janet.

	"You didn't need anything at Erica's, did you?  I 
think I can find something for you to wear," replied 
Tiffany.

	The two girls went to the bedroom, and Tiffany 
took all her clothes off.  She was soaked all the way 
down to the skin, and her underwear stuck to her.  
Tiffany removed her bra and panties, and grabbed a 
towel from the bathroom.  She toweled herself dry, then 
went into the bathroom to dry her hair.

	"What are you waiting for, a cold?" asked Tiffany.

	Janet stripped, and dried herself off also.  She 
joined Tiffany, who passed her dryer and brush to her.  
She looked in the mirror, and saw a familiar sight: the 
two of them naked.  Except that they were not wearing 
collars, or any of the usual implements.

	Going into the bathroom, Tiffany hung their wet 
clothes on hangers to dry.  Their clothes were soaked, 
and would need the whole night to dry.

	Crash!  Janet had knocked into a box, and had sent 
plastic pieces flying all over Tiffany's closet as she 
searched for something to wear.

	"Are you all right?" asked Tiffany.

	"Just knocked something over," answered Janet.

	"Damn, I told my nephews not to put Conquest in 
the closet," stated Tiffany, "I keep the game so that 
they have something to play when my sister visits."

	The two naked girls bent down on the floor and 
sort the cards and plastic pieces of the war game.

	"You really made a mess," observed Tiffany.

	"If this was Erica's house, I would have been 
punished," laughed Janet.

	"Do you play?" asked Tiffany.

	"My brother taught me, and I learned on my own.  
Don't play me though, I'm a killer.  When I finished 
college, nobody would play me in the dorm or the 
student center," proudly boasted Janet.

	"Really," answered Tiffany, a smile on her face.

	When Janet was buttoning a shirt, Tiffany reached 
over and kissed her. 
Suddenly all of Janet's desires for the last two weeks 
boiled over.  She grabbed Tiffany, and they fell on the 
bed.

	"A little early, isn't it?" asked Tiffany.

	"Who cares?"

	"Then use me, Janet," said Tiffany, "hard."

	When they got under the covers, Janet obliged her 
companion.  Since there was no clock facing the bed, 
she never knew just how long they went at it before 
they fell asleep.  But the sky was long dark and the 
traffic ceased long before they did.
	*				*			*		
	*
	Erica's and Andrea's funeral was held two days 
later.  There were no coffins, and Janet did not 
recognize anyone except for Blanca, Stephanie, and 
Camille.  After the service, which was thankfully 
short, Blanca walked over to them.

	"Good morning," said Blanca.

	"Hello, Blanca," replied Janet.

	"I see that you both are here to honor Erica."

	"Yes," they answered in unison.

	"I want you to meet me in my office tomorrow at 
9," said Blanca, as she handed Janet and Tiffany her 
business card.

	"Why?" asked Tiffany.

	"There's the will to take care of."

	"Can't you tell us about it now?" asked Janet.

	"Nine AM tomorrow.  Sharp!" she commanded.

	Janet almost answered "Yes, Mistress," but caught 
herself in time.  Blanca had turned on her heels and 
was walking out of the church before Janet could 
formulate a reply.  Tiffany had gone off to talk with 
Stephanie, leaving her alone.

	The next morning, they took the train to 
Manhattan.  The subway was crowded with all the 
commuters going to work.

	"Are you going to work after this?" asked Tiffany.

	"Depends on how I feel," answered Janet.

	"Me, too."

	Blanca Sanchez was a junior partner at a 
prestigious law firm.  The lobby was covered in marble 
that made every step of their heels click and echo, 
reminding Janet of Erica's Dungeon.  They were ushered 
into Blanca's office, which was richly furnished.  The 
furniture was oak, and the carpet deep.  They both sat 
down in leather stuffed chairs.

	She closed the door, and pressed her intercom, 
"Georgie, no calls please."

	"Yes, Blanca."

	"There now," said Blanca, "a little peace."

	"You wanted to see us," said Janet.

	"Yes," answered Blanca, who opened a manila 
folder.

	Janet and Tiffany waited for Blanca to begin.  
They had quite a lot of patience, since they had 
learned by waiting chained in the Dungeon.

	"I have been Erica's lawyer and friend for years, 
and so it is up to me to execute her will.  You two are 
the beneficiaries of the estate, the care of which has 
been entrusted to me.  You will receive the estate in 
stages over the next year, when you prove that you are 
capable of handling it."

	Janet stole a glance at Tiffany, who looked bored 
and stared out the window at Manhattan below.  Didn't 
she care, thought Janet?

	"You will inherit her house, cars, clothes and 
books.  Including her Dungeon, of course, and you are 
expected to create your own House."

	"That's what I've been waiting for," said Tiffany, 
before she resumed staring out the window.

	"I will help you pay all of the taxes and bills, 
and show you how to run a mansion like Erica's, which 
is not like anything that you have done before.  I'm 
going to be giving you a large file to each of you 
containing multiple documents that Erica wanted you to 
have.  I want you to read everything," said Blanca.

	Suddenly Janet recalled one of her last visits, 
and remembered Erica's strange remarks.  That she would 
be tested in some way.  She looked at Tiffany, since 
she knew that Erica must have given her the same 
warning.  Instead, Tiffany's attention had wandered.  
She was staring out the window.

	"Can I have a list of how much money we'll get?" 
asked Tiffany.

	"Yes.  But before you join the ranks of the idle 
rich, you'll be on an allowance to prove that you're 
financially responsible," said Blanca.

	"Sounds like we've traded one Mistress for 
another," said Tiffany.

	"If you want to see it that way," answered Blanca.

	"Is there anything else?" asked Tiffany.

 	Blanca then handed out pens and a series of legal 
papers.

	"Start signing at the X marks," said Tiffany. "We 
have quite a bit of legal ground to cover."

	"What about my job?" asked Janet.

	"Call your employer and tell them you have to take 
the week off.  We're going to very busy for the next 
week."

	"Yes, Blanca," said Janet.

	The morning was spent signing papers and forms.  
In the afternoon, after lunch, a car was called to take 
them to Erica's house.  They rode in a black limo, just 
like the one that would take Janet each weekend.  The 
ride was very different during the day, and she only 
recognized the road signs on the way up.

	"At least you weren't blindfolded in transit," 
said Blanca, "so you already know the way."

	"Yes."

	When they pulled up at the gate, Blanca produced a 
key, which opened it.   Then they drove up the familiar 
driveway up to the door.  Dead leaves scattered out of 
the way.

	They left the limo, and Blanca told the driver to 
return in a few hours.  Then they walked up the steps, 
and Janet expected that Andrea would be waiting for 
them.  Instead, yellow tape sealed the door, which 
Blanca removed and balled up.  She opened the door, and 
quickly went to the alarm panel to shut it off.

	"There now," she said, "that's better."

	"I expect to see Erica any minute," said Janet.

	"Not too likely.  Come, we have a lot of ground to 
cover.  Everything from the alarm to the water cut off 
valves.  Running an estate is a job all by itself, and 
you've got it!"

	The next few hours, with some breaks, dealt with 
the physical aspects of the house and grounds.  Janet 
set off the alarm twice and Tiffany once.

	"Just don't make a habit out of that," cautioned 
Blanca.

	When they were finished, they descended to the 
Dungeon.  Everything was cleaned and polished, just 
waiting for the Mistress of the House to return.  Their 
heels clicked on the stone floor.

	"This is yours too.  Just use it wisely.  Not too 
many houses around here have Dungeons in their 
basements, but I have heard some stories over the 
years.  This area is all old Yankee money, so don't be 
surprised if they ignore you completely.  This isn't 
like living in an apartment complex," Blanca cautioned.

 	They both nodded.

	"I don't want you causing any legal trouble, so 
you have got to be very careful in training new slaves.  
You have to learn your new position first, so you can 
contact some of the other Dominants you have may have 
served.  I know that Stephanie is willing to help, so 
I'll give you her number.  Got that?" said Blanca as 
she walked among the Dungeon and picked up a riding 
crop, flexing it in her hand.

	"Yes, Mistress," answered Tiffany, and Janet 
merely nodded.

	"You two have to learn your new positions, and 
that means more than just being at the other end of the 
riding crop," Blanca flicked the crop, striking a 
leather padded bench that Janet remembered being tied 
to.

	"Yes," answered.

	"I wish I could have used this last week on my 
opponent in court.  That little bitch dug up something 
on my client that made him and me look completely 
foolish.  But I told that bastard to tell me everything 
and he lied to me also about the case.  He deserved a 
touch of the crop also.  Oh well.  I'll still collect 
my fee anyway.  And I'll keep an eye out for that cunt 
in the future," lectured Blanca.

	"What next?" asked Janet.

	"Back to the city.  You move in tomorrow," said 
Blanca quite coldly.

	"Tomorrow?" questioned Tiffany.

	"Well I did say to take the week off, now didn't 
I?" said Blanca.
	*			*				*		
	*
	Back in Janet's small apartment, they were washing 
up after dinner.  The meal had been a restrained affair 
as they were both in shock.  They had picked up 
something on the way home, after having been driven to 
Queens in the same limo that had taken them to Erica's 
house.

	"Well," said Tiffany, "pinch me."

	Feeling suddenly playful, Janet reached inside 
Tiffany's blouse and under her bra.  She pinched and 
twisted her nipple, which was hard and erect.

	"Owww," cried Tiffany.

	"Well you did want me to pinch you," said Janet.

	"I just can't believe it."

	"My boss isn't going to be too thrilled about me 
taking the week off," said Janet.

	"Screw him," said Tiffany.

	"Can't.  He's gay," Janet answered.

	They both laughed together and embraced.  Janet 
tried to feel Tiffany's medallion inside her sex, but 
couldn't beneath the fabric of her dress.

	"Shall we?" asked Tiffany.

	"Why not," answered Janet.

	Afterwards, Janet reflected that she didn't have a 
Maid handy to change the bed.

	The next day, they each helped each other pack the 
first things they would need.  Blanca arrived to help, 
and they were just about ready when the truck and limo 
arrived.  The drive through afternoon traffic was a 
horror, and when they arrived it was past 6 PM.  Their 
stuff was unloaded, and they were left alone with 
Blanca.

	"My car, I left it in Queens!" gasped Janet.

	"There's a Toyota and a BMW in the garage that are 
in the estate's name, and yours to use.  Just don't 
wreck them, please," cautioned Blanca.

	"I still can't believe it," said Janet.

	"Learn fast," said Blanca, before she left by 
limo.

	"God damn," said Tiffany. "What do we do now?"

	Blanca had made sure that the kitchen had been 
stocked in advance in with the basics.  They had a 
simple dinner of salad, hot dogs, and baked beans.

	"Andrea was quite a cook," said Janet.

	"I remember once she told me she went to school 
for that."

	Tiffany picked up a hot dog with a fork and they 
both looked at it.

	"Had a guy once with a dong about that length," 
said Tiffany.

	"What happened?"

	"He was about as hard too," laughed Tiffany as she 
took a bite.

	"Hardly the elegant meal that I expected my first 
night here," observed Tiffany.

	"Perhaps we could light candles," said Janet.

	"And drip the wax on each other!"

	"Now that's a thought!" said Janet.

	They walked the grounds and used each other till 
dawn, when they finally fell asleep in each other's 
arms, drunk with their new position in life!

	The next day, Stephanie arrived for a lunchtime 
visit.  Janet cleaned the downstairs (which had already 
been immaculate anyway) and Tiffany cooked.

	She was dressed in a conservative blue business 
suit, with modest heels.  It was strange to see her 
without Camille in attendance.

	They talked, and she reminisced about Erica.

	"Erica was a good friend, and a good Mistress.  
You two should be honored that you knew her."

	"Yes, I'm sure that I will be carrying her marks 
for some time," said Tiffany.

	"Well, the first place to start is a Maid.  Here," 
she said, passing a photo from her purse.

	The photo showed a girl in the late twenties 
dressed in a rubber Maid's outfit.

	"Her name's Tina North.  She's been a slave for 
quite a while, and now is ready to serve in a 
household.  I think that she'll be a valuable asset to 
your House."

	"How should we treat her?" asked Janet.

	"With kindness and discipline, never exceeding her 
limits," cautioned Stephanie.

	"Yes," Janet answered.

	"Good, I'll have her report here tomorrow.  I'll 
bring her myself.  You are expected to make a list of 
chores for her to do, a schedule for work, days off, 
and so on.  I'll help you with that," offered 
Stephanie.

	"Thank you," said Janet.

	"I think that I can do without the advice," said 
Tiffany.

	Janet looked at her lover in surprise.  If there 
was one thing that she had learned in life, was never 
to refuse advice when offered!  Especially when they 
were navigating in a minefield like this one!

	"Why did you insult Stephanie?" asked Janet after 
their guest had left.

	"Because she hurt me last time, and I never liked 
her anyway," pouted Tiffany.

	"Just don't do it again," advised Janet.

	Tiffany left in a huff for the Dungeons to sulk.
	*			*				*		
	*
	Dinner that night was a restrained affair with 
neither of them talking much.  Janet had broiled some 
steaks, and it may as well have been cardboard for the 
lack of enjoyment that dinner brought.

	They cleaned up in silence, and Janet decided that 
they wouldn't sleep together.  She had picked out 
another bedroom, and had turned the covers.  She had 
even selected an adult novel to read before bed.

	When she was undressing for bed, the door suddenly 
burst open.  Naked, she was startled when Tiffany broke 
in.  In her hands she was carrying a pair of gleaming 
steel handcuffs, a collar, and a ballgag.

	Tiffany struck Janet, and they fell to the bed, 
wrestling!  Suddenly, Janet was back in her high school 
years, her brother in wrestling with the damn rubber 
suit (was that why she was attracted to rubber now?) 
pouncing on her.  Over time, she picked up the moves 
and learned to fight him off.  One day, when she was 
nearly mugged in NY, she had fought someone off, 
scaring her to death.

	"Tiffany, stop!" yelled Janet.

	Because Tiffany had been carrying too many things 
in her hands, she had not been able to get a proper 
grip on Janet.  The things she brought scattered, and 
Janet was able to force Tiffany onto her chest with her 
arms wrenched behind her back.  Janet saw the handcuffs 
on the bed, picked them up and locked Tiffany's hands 
behind her back.  They were both panting from the 
fight.

	"What do you think you were doing?" gasped Janet.

	Tiffany didn't reply, but instead remained silent.

	"Well?"

	Janet turned her companion over, and saw that 
Tiffany was dressed in just her bra and panties, plus a 
pair of shoes.  She picked up the collar and ballgag, 
and displayed them to Tiffany.

	"So these were for me.  Had you asked, I just 
might have worn them.  Even gone down the Dungeon for a 
little fun.  But not like this," said Janet.

	"I'm Mistress here," said Tiffany.

	"Really.  You had better start acting like it, not 
like some insolent slave who doesn't know her place.  
In fact, I think that we shall go to the Dungeon 
tonight.  But you're going to be the one that feels the 
lash," said Janet.

	"No!" cried Tiffany.

	In short order, Tiffany wore the collar and 
ballgag.  With her arms behind her back, Tiffany was 
helpless.

	Janet then found a chain in the nightstand (very 
convenient) and locked Tiffany to the ringbolt set in 
the wall, making her kneel on the wooden floor.

	"Got to get dressed," said Janet.

	Grabbing her discarded pair of panties, she 
slipped then on and padded barefoot to Erica's bedroom.  
Strangely enough, they had not spent the night there, 
but had instead used another room.

	Going inside, she rushed to the closet.  Weeks 
before, when she had been Mistress for a night, she had 
looked through Erica's extensive wardrobe.  Janet had 
been pleased to discover that she and Erica were the 
same size, so she could wear her clothes.

	But now, rushing to find something to wear in the 
Dungeon, she suddenly stopped her mad dash.  There were 
things missing!

	"What the?" questioned Janet.

	There were empty places were she had looked at an 
admired what must have been specially made clothes.  
Both normal and fetish wear.  Still only wearing 
panties, she went into Erica's drawers.

	Any woman's wardrobe would contain her underwear, 
makeup supplies, and plenty of it.  But either Erica 
didn't have very much, or a good part of it was 
missing.  It was as if what was left was meant to cover 
what was missing.  And why was all her underwear new?  
Surely she didn't just wear something once and throw it 
away?  Erica's house, for all her wealth, was quite 
plain and she had displayed disdain for the trappings 
of wealth.  So where were her used things?

	She was going to question Blanca about it at the 
first chance she got!  But as she dressed in a leather 
bra, skirt, and boots she still got that nagging 
feeling that something wasn't quite right.  A woman 
dead by accident doesn't just remove her favorite 
clothes beforehand, nor have only new underwear in her 
drawer.

	Janet was going to have to search the whole house, 
and fire up that computer.  Her skin crawled with the 
suspicion that something was going on.  And she was 
going to get to the bottom of it.

	But first she had to attend to Tiffany's bottom, 
and her anger at her friend's action resurfaced.

	"Bitch," said Janet aloud, "Bitch!"

	 When she returned to her bedroom, Tiffany was 
still there, bound naked on the floor.  Janet pulled 
her collar chain, making her rise to her feet.  It had 
been a long time since she and Andrea had reversed 
roles, and now she was the Mistress of the house.  
Provided she fulfilled Erica's conditions, of course.

	Janet wasted no time and pinched Tiffany's nipple, 
making her squeal behind her gag.  Then she pinched 
Tiffany's clit making her jump in response.

	"Now that we've established who is in charge 
here," said Janet "It's time to go down to the 
Dungeon."

	Janet didn't make Tiffany wear the usual high 
heels.  Instead, she removed the ones that she had on.  
After releasing her collar chain, she attached a leash.  
She had found a blindfold, which she quickly used to 
cut off Tiffany's vision.

	Even though they both knew the way to the Dungeon 
by heart, Janet wanted to preserve the ritual of 
blindfolding the slave during the trip to the Dungeon.  
Tiffany obediently followed Janet as they walked to the 
hidden elevator downstairs.

	In a few minutes, they were in the Dungeon.  
Evidently, Tiffany had been here before, as the lights 
and heat were already on.  Tiffany had planned well, 
except that it was she that would be feeling the whip!

	"Thanks for getting everything ready, Tiffany," 
said Janet, "Since I don't have a Maid yet."

	Janet didn't waste any time, nor did she want to 
do anything fancy.  She placed cuffs on Tiffany's 
wrists and ankles, replacing the articles of slavery 
that Janet had grown used to in serving Erica.

	Then she pulled Tiffany to the center of the room, 
where a chain was hanging from the ceiling.  She 
unlocked her handcuffs, and then locked the leather 
cuffs above Tiffany's head.  Locating a spreader bar, 
she opened Tiffany's legs and locked it to the D rings.

	Tiffany stood, totally helpless and exposed.  
Janet found the control and took up the slack on the 
ceiling chain, forcing Tiffany to stand straight and 
erect.

	"That's better," said Janet.

	Even though they had made love ever since Erica's 
death, Janet couldn't pass up the chance to pinch and 
roughly fondle Tiffany's bound form.  It was one thing 
to make passionate love together in bed.  It was quite 
something else to roughly examine Tiffany's naked body 
prior to discipline.

	Even though she planned to use the whip, Janet got 
a riding crop.  She used the tip as a probe to trace 
Tiffany's curves, and to insert between her breasts and 
legs.  She pushed the tip between her sex, making 
Tiffany moan.

	Janet then removed her blindfold and gag, and 
Tiffany panted from the rough examination that she had 
just undergone.

	"Thank you, Mistress," panted Tiffany.

	"You're welcome, slave."

	"You have a choice Tiffany.  Either the whip, or 
the crop."

	"The whip, Mistress," said Tiffany.

	"For once, we agree on something."

	Janet replaced the crop with a long coiled sinuous 
whip.  She felt the fresh oil on her fingertips, since 
she had chosen not to wear gloves this evening.

	"Please," plead Tiffany, "don't whip me?"

	"Perhaps you should have thought of that before 
you tried to restrain me.  Were you so certain that you 
could overpower me?  I'm full of surprises," said 
Janet.

	"No, Janet, no!"

	"Mistress Janet to you," said Janet.

	"Mistress Janet, please, no!"

	"What's so different about being whipped by me 
instead of Erica.  After all, you love the whip.  
Regardless of who's yielding it."

	"Yes, Mistress."

	"So kiss the handle like a good girl before I put 
that gag back," said Janet.

	Tiffany reached her lips forward and kissed the 
handle.  At first, she hesitated.  But then, Janet was 
pleased to see that she was showing the same enthusiasm 
as she had displayed for Mistress Erica.

	"That's good," said Janet.

	"Thank you, Mistress," said Tiffany.

	"Good.  Then we can begin."

	Janet stood back, cracking the whip to get its 
proper feel.  She loved the way it moved, and the sound 
it made.  Then she struck!

	"Owwww!" cried Tiffany.

	Janet struck again, not caring to have the strokes 
counted.  She could do without theatre tonight, only 
wanting to have Tiffany display her submission to her.

	"Owwww!"

	"Owwww!"

	Janet delivered each stroke with only a moderate 
degree of force.  She wanted the whip to coil itself 
around Tiffany's curves, then the tip would smack into 
her naked flesh.

	Janet did not really want to hurt Tiffany, or 
break her skin.  What she did want was to make Tiffany 
understand that she had gotten off to a bad start, and 
the Janet was now in charge!

	"Owwww!"

	"Janet, please stop," cried Tiffany.

	"What's wrong, Tiffany?  Lost your desire to 
please your Mistress?"

	"It hurts!"

	"So did Mistress Erica, but you loved her whip.  
Just as you will come to love mine," said Janet.

	"Owwww!"

	Janet began to concentrate on her upper body.  She 
wanted the whip to strike Tiffany's breasts, which it 
did.  Once her breasts were covered by multiple red 
marks, she paused.

	"Thank you, Mistress," said Tiffany.

	"I'm not done yet," answered Janet.

	Giving Tiffany a chance to rest, Janet looked 
around the Dungeon.  Again, things were missing that 
she painfully remembered.  Whips, crops, and other 
things.  Not that there wasn't enough left here to 
restrain a whole group of girls.

	"What the hell?" asked Janet to herself.

	"Mistress?" asked Tiffany.

	"Sorry to neglect you, Tiffany.  I was just 
surveying the Dungeon.  Every home should have one 
downstairs, don't you think?"

	"Mistress please!"

	Janet then uncoiled the whip, and displayed it to 
Tiffany.

	"Shall we start again?" Janet asked.

	This time, she concentrated on Tiffany's sex and 
behind.  The tip would bury itself between Tiffany's 
opened legs, making her shake and rattle her chains.  
Tears flowed onto her cheeks, and her makeup ran 
leaving lines of color.

	But it was her behind that was turning colors!  
With each stroke, she would leave another red mark on 
her bottom.  Since Tiffany had not been whipped for 
some time, the new ones stood out.

	"Owwww!" cried Tiffany.

	"Stop, please stop, Mistress Janet!" cried 
Tiffany.

	Taking no notice of her pleas, Janet continued to 
punish her.  Without remorse or anger, even though she 
had boiling earlier, Janet restrained her strokes.  She 
did not want Tiffany to plead mercy, for then she would 
have to stop.  Instead, she wanted to make Tiffany feel 
quite uncomfortable for what she had done.

	When Janet was satisfied that the whip had done 
its job, she ceased.

	"Thank your Mistress," said Janet.

	Tiffany appeared to hesitate, and Janet pretended 
to utilize the whip again.

	"Thank you, Mistress for the punishment that I 
have received.  I was a very bad girl before, and it 
will never happen again," said Tiffany.

	"Good.  Now a little something else, and then I 
can lock you away for the night."

	Janet selected a lightweight flogger.  It wouldn't 
mark, but it would aggravate the earlier ones that 
Janet had already inflicted.  The broad strands 
impacted on Tiffany's skin, making her moan and thrash.  
Janet enjoyed seeing her reacting in this way and make 
sure that she used it on all the right places.

	"Now then," said Janet, standing before a tearful 
Tiffany, "all done now."

	"Thank you, Mistress."

	Janet locked Tiffany in one of the upstairs 
bedrooms, next to Erica's master bedroom.  She had 
moved there after dominating Tiffany.  Once Tiffany had 
been cleaned up, Janet locked her to the ringbolt in 
the wall.

	"Now don't give me any trouble," said Janet.

	"Yes, Mistress."

	After getting out of her leather gear, Janet 
discovered that she could use a quick shower.  The 
enjoyed the hot streams, soaping her breasts and sex.  
She dried herself off, then blow dried her hair.  Once 
she was done, she retrieved the novel that she had 
wanted to read earlier.

	Janet checked once more on Tiffany, then got under 
the covers naked.  She fingered the ring on her index 
finger, wondering if she should continue to wear it.  
Janet dropped off to sleep, feeling satisfied.
	*			*			*			*
	The next day, Mistress Stephanie Richards drove 
up.  In the passenger seat was the girl that Stephanie 
recommended.  Janet opened the door for the two of 
them.  Since it was quite warm, they didn't have coats 
on.  Stephanie wore a dress, and so did Tina.

	"Please come in," greeted Janet.

	"Thank you," said Stephanie, "Tina this is Janet 
Davis, the Mistress I told you about."

	"Pleased to meet you, Mistress Janet."

	"But where is Mistress Tiffany?" asked Stephanie.

	"In the library," answered Janet.

	After closing the door, the three made their way 
to the Library.  When they entered, Stephanie saw 
Tiffany seated in a chair.  Around her neck was a slave 
collar, but otherwise she was dressed normally in a 
blouse and skirt.

	"Tina, this is Mistress Tiffany, who also is 
Mistress in this house," said Stephanie as she 
introduced Janet's companion.

	"Mistress Tiffany, pleased to meet you," said 
Tina.

	"Please sit down," directed Janet.

	Having made the introductions, Janet asked Tina 
some personal questions.  Who she had trained under, 
who she had served, and so on.  Tina even displayed her 
recent whip marks on her breasts and behind.

	"Good, good," said Janet.

	Tina also told of her skills in the upkeep of the 
house.  This was all part of the contract between 
Mistress and Submissive that had to be established 
first, before Tina would formally serve in the House.

	Once that was done, Stephanie declared herself a 
witness.  Tiffany rose and walked out the door, and 
closed the library door behind her.

	"What happened?" asked Stephanie.

	"Tina, could you please open the library door and 
leave us for a few minutes," directed Janet.

	"Certainly, Mistress Janet," answered Tina.

	After Tina had left, Stephanie faced Janet.

	"Well?"

	"We had a difference of opinion yesterday.  
Tiffany burst into my bedroom last night, with cuffs, a 
collar, and a gag.  She wanted to restrain me, but I 
won the fight and punished her instead."

	"Shocking," said Stephanie.

	"Her punishment is to wear the collar for two 
days, and she gets locked up every night."

	"Adequate," said Stephanie, "and fair."

	"Thank you, Mistress."

	"Take care of Tina, she will make a good maid and 
slave.  Her things are in the car, just a couple of 
suitcases."

	"Thank you, Mistress Stephanie."

	Once Tina had brought her things into the Maid's 
room, she let the girl unpack in peace.  She was sure 
that the pretty brunette would fit into Andrea's 
things, so there would be no need to buy a new wardrobe 
for her.

	Suddenly Janet realized the immense 
responsibilities that came with being a Mistress of her 
own House!  It was much simpler to be a slave in the 
Dungeon!

Chapter Eight: The Competition

Part One: A New Life

	Janet Davis sat her desk at her job in Manhattan.  
It had been a two weeks since Erica's death and a week 
since she had returned to work.  Chewing on a pencil, 
her mind kept returning to the events of the past two 
weeks.  She had returned to work to partially continue 
her familiar life.  Tiffany, however, had quit her job 
immediately.

	So Janet arose each morning and took a different 
train into the city, resuming her job as a secretary.  
While there was some gossip about her weeklong absence, 
it really didn't matter.  In the year that she had 
become Erica's slave, she had ceased socializing with 
her co-workers.

	Management hadn't said anything, since Blanca had 
sent them a hell of a letter explaining why she needed 
the time off.  So Janet resumed her job of typing voice 
mail, answering the phone, and going on errands.

	After the quiet of Greenwich, Janet enjoyed the 
noise again of Manhattan.  Janet even planned to go 
downtown to the fetish shops after work and look 
around.  Even though what she now owned could probably 
stock a store all by itself.

	"Janet, could I see you please?" asked her boss, 
Dave.

	"Sure," Janet answered.

	She followed Dave into the Vice-President's 
office, Richard.  He was seated behind his desk, a file 
of papers in front of him.  Janet seated herself in one 
chair, Dave the other.

	"Janet, I'm very sorry to have to do this," began 
Richard, "but I have to lay you off."

	"What?" said Janet, shocked. 

	"It's not related to your job performance, or your 
unscheduled absence last week.  It's just that every 
department has to cut back, and I'm afraid that you 
have to be the one in ours," said Richard.

	While he talked about her severance package, and 
the fact that she would have no trouble finding a job, 
Janet thought what if they only knew what had happened 
to her last week.

	While Tiffany thought it was madness to return to 
work, Janet wanted to hold on to something of her 
former life.  Instead, barely one-week back, she was 
being shown the door.  Meaning she would be spending 
all of her time in Greenwich.

	"Janet?" asked Dave, "are you all right?"

	"Sorry, I was just drifting," answered Janet.

	"You can clean out your desk, and we'll send you 
all the papers at home.  I understand that you moved to 
Connecticut," said Dave.

	"Yes, last week."

	"But weren't you busy with that legal thing?" 
asked Dave.

	"This was arranged long before," Janet lied.

	Cleaning out her desk, Janet realized that there 
was very little she either wanted to keep or save.  
Still, she cleaned out her personal things, and put 
them in a box.  Since she did not want to carry that on 
the train, she asked that it be sent to her new address 
in Greenwich.  She said a few tearful good-byes just 
for effect, then left.  In her purse was her cardkey, 
which she resolved to keep as a souvenir.

	She walked around the city, looking at all the 
office buildings.  Janet realized that an important 
part of her life was now over, and that she would never 
be working here again.  Unless she used Erica's money 
to buy a company, and then be a boss herself.  What a 
thought!

	It wasn't until she was riding home on the train, 
sipping a soda, when she remembered that she hadn't 
told anyone that she was now living in Connecticut.  
Nobody knew that she had taken Metro-North, not the 
subway to work.

	So how did Dave know that she was living in 
Connecticut?  Her blood suddenly ran cold; just what 
was going on?  The same questions that she had asked 
when she had moved into Erica's house returned.

	Driving back to the estate, Janet resolved that 
now that she had the time, she was going to tear 
everything apart in the house.  She was going to search 
everything, no matter how long it took.

	"Mistress, is there something wrong?" asked Tina 
when she walked in the foyer.

	"It's all right Tina," said Janet.

	Tina took her light jacket and hung it in the hall 
closet, waiting for Janet's next command.

	"I got laid off," said Janet.

	"I would imagine that Mistress is very angry," 
answered Tina.

	"Yes, but not about that.  About......Something 
else.  I'll be in the library, thinking."

	"Yes, Mistress.  If I may continue with the 
housework?" asked Tina.

	"Of course," said Janet.

	When she entered the library, Janet poured a small 
glass of sherry, and twirled it around before taking a 
swallow.  Then she seated herself behind Erica's desk 
to think, instead of one of the leather stuffed chairs.

	Janet looked at the black leather clad footstool, 
that Stephanie had given Erica as a gift.  She 
remembered when she had been bound to the footstool and 
used, and the pain and pleasure that it had brought 
her.

	All right, Janet, she thought, what next?  After 
they had moved in, both Tiffany and Janet had searched 
the house.  Blanca had sent them each a pile of 
paperwork to read, and Janet had placed hers on Erica's 
desk.  

	Tiffany was still angry with her after her attempt 
to Dominate Janet failed.  So she had taken some money, 
packed a suitcase, and said that she was going on 
vacation for an indefinite time.  So Janet had the 
house to herself, alone except for Tina.

	In all her life, Janet had never expected that she 
would have been served by a live in Maid who provided 
extra services since she was also a slave.  After 
Stephanie had dropped her off, Tiffany immediately 
wanted to place her in the Dungeon and show her that 
she was a Mistress.  Janet had refused, arguing that 
they had to learn more about her.  This had further 
enraged Tiffany, giving her a second excuse to leave.

	So Janet had been with her Maid for over a week, 
and had read the file that Stephanie had left with her.  
Tina North was 27, a trained Maid and Cook, who had 
been trained in larger households.  She was now going 
to progress onto running this house, and had been 
destined to serve under Andrea before serving a 
Mistress by herself.

	Erica's death had changed that, and Stephanie had 
arranged for her to start serving by herself.  So this 
was a double test for both the new Mistresses and Tina 
as well.

	Janet was surprised to find that Tina was an 
excellent cook, and it was a good thing that the 
mansion had a small room filled with exercise 
equipment.  If she kept on eating like this, she 
wouldn't be able to fit into anything!

	In addition, with Tiffany absent, she was able to 
explore Tina as a slave.  She didn't want to start with 
a harsh Dungeon episode leaving Tina with red welts all 
over her body, since Stephanie had told her to go 
slowly.

	Instead, she had first asked Tina to strip in 
front of her, and inspected her firm naked body.  
Another day, when Tina had made a minor mistake, Janet 
had merely given her five light strokes with the riding 
crop.

	Every couple of days, she would impose a mild form 
of discipline upon her.  Nothing too severe or harsh, 
nothing that would draw blood or would otherwise cause 
injury.

	In just two weeks, she had noted that Tina had 
become attracted to her.  She had not used her 
sexually, though she longed to do so.  She first wanted 
to establish herself as a Mistress, not as her lover.

	Janet was startled when there was a knock on the 
library door.

	"Enter," said Janet.

	"Would Mistress Janet like some lunch?" asked Tina 
after she had entered.

	Janet realized that she had eaten nothing since 
breakfast.  A soda on the way back and a drink on an 
empty stomach left her feeling hungry.

	"Yes," said Janet, "something light."

	Janet looked at her watch and found that it was 
just 2 PM.  Had so much already happened today?

	"Yes, Mistress," said Tina before exiting.

	Ten minutes later, Tina had prepared a small 
salad, a turkey sandwich, a piece of cake from last 
night's dinner, and a pot of coffee.  She placed the 
tray down on the desk before Janet, and opened a napkin 
to place on Janet's lap.

	"Thank you, Tina," said Janet, "this is very 
nice."

	"Yes, Mistress," answered Tina before she bowed 
and closed the door behind her.

	Janet ate alone and in silence, determined not to 
turn the TV on.  Erica had stocked the library with too 
many diversions, and Janet wanted to be alone.  The 
lunch was quite enough, and Janet lingered over the 
cake and coffee.

	"Okay, Mistress," Janet said to herself, "what 
now?"

	She eyed the package that Blanca had given to both 
Janet and Tiffany. They had both gotten one with their 
names on it, and Tiffany had taken hers with her. It 
was a package wrapped in heavy paper, and sealed with 
heavy tape.

	Janet picked up hers and found a pair of scissors 
in the desk drawer.  She cut the tape and paper, and 
found even more layers.  Whoever had sealed it meant to 
ensure that it would only be opened by someone 
determined, and that nobody could ever reseal it again 
either.

	So Janet soon had filled a nearby wastebasket with 
the wrappings.  Inside was what looked like over 500 
sheets of paper, unbound.  There was no table of 
contents, and a quick scan revealed all sorts of 
subjects: slaves, money, other Mistresses, 
instructions.

	"Why would Erica do that?" asked Janet aloud.

	Erica had been a neatness freak, and Janet had 
learned from Andrea just how to clean a house properly.  
So why should she provide a book of instructions in an 
unorganized fashion?

	Janet heard a knock on the door, and it was Tina 
again.

	"Mistress, I'd like to remove the tray," said 
Tina.

	"Yes, thank you," answered Janet.

	"Is there anything else I can do?" asked Tina.

	"Yes, another pot of coffee would be nice," said 
Janet.

	"To drink while reading?" asked Tina.

	"No.  Homework," said Janet.

	Janet found a three-hole puncher, some empty 
loose-leaf binders, and paper in the library.  She 
started reading, punching holes, placing dividers 
between documents, and writing down their subject on a 
piece of paper and a tab for the binder.

	The sun's rays lengthened along with the day.  
Janet would occasionally pause to watch the dust dance 
in the sun's light.

	Some were short, only a few pages.  Others were 
pages long, dealing with her life and proper conduct as 
a Mistress.  There was no organization or direction.  
One dealt with the purchase and history of the cars in 
the garage.  The next dealt with a totally unrelated 
subject.

	Janet was fascinated by the procedures by which a 
girl was introduced to slavery.  First was an extensive 
interview process, to make sure that the subject was 
suitable.  Then a set training schedule to see that the 
girl could handle the rigors of slavery.  Finally, a 
code of conduct between Mistress and slave, that the 
Mistress would respect the slave's limits.

	Tears came from Janet's eyes as she remembered how 
Erica had gradually trained her, and Stephanie had 
respected Erica's instructions.  Janet decided that she 
would abide by the instructions from Erica and from her 
own personal experience in being a slave.  

	Janet rubbed her eyes.  Surely, in this 
disorganized mess, there was something important that 
Erica had wanted her to know.

	Getting up from the desk, her mind numbed by the 
sheer amount of detail and documents, Janet had grown 
bored.  It was homework all right, but with a 
vengeance.  Surely she didn't have to plough through 
all of the documents, did she?

	But Janet seated herself again at the desk.  The 
warning from Erica that she would be tested, and 
Tiffany's absence, made this an ideal time to go over 
the whole thing.  With Tiffany around, there would be 
no way she could work in peace.

	Near the end, just when her patience was about to 
run out, Janet found it.  There were two pieces of 
paper deliberately stuck together with a drop of glue, 
so that it looked they were one.

	The first was a paper detailing a list of good 
restaurants that Erica liked in London, and some places 
to stay.

	But when Janet gently separated the second page, 
and read it, her blood ran cold.

	The estate was not really theirs, at least yet.  
Blanca would have them under supervision for a year, 
and they would have to demonstrate that they were 
capable of running the estate.

	But the most horrifying part of it was a contest 
of some kind.  Both had been awarded a substantial 
amount of stock, to do with as they pleased.  Janet 
looked over the names of the portfolio and the amounts 
and gasped.  It was more money than she had ever had 
imagined in her life!

	They both had to manage their portfolio accounts, 
and could buy or sell stocks.  They could withdraw 
money, but not add it.  Once withdrawn, the money was 
gone.

	After a year, whoever had the most in her account 
would own the entire estate.  The loser would be left 
with nothing, and be the property and slave of the 
victor!

	Janet felt like crying when Tina knocked to 
announce Dinner.  Putting the paper down, she 
remembered that Blanca had made certain that they 
couldn't tamper with each other's package without the 
other knowing about it.

	She had discovered the test that Erica had warned 
her about.  They would each live like Queens for a 
year, and then whoever had managed their account better 
would own the loser.  With a shock, she realized that 
Blanca had been rather evasive about the source of 
their living expenses.  It was quite possible that the 
money Tiffany had just withdrawn had come not from her 
allowance but from her brokerage account!

	Tiffany was in effect spending away her chance to 
be Mistress and Owner.  Janet would have to lie and be 
deceitful towards her partner, so that she would never 
know the truth about the source and consequences about 
their inheritance.

	Dinner that evening was a grim affair.  Janet 
should have enjoyed the rich beef stew that Tina had 
prepared, but she barely ate anything.  She nibbled and 
picked at her food, feeling it taste like sawdust.  
After Tina had served cake and coffee, she stood 
waiting by the table for Janet's next command.

	"Will the Mistress be needing me after I clean 
up?" asked Tina.

	For over a week since Tiffany had left, Janet had 
answered no.  She had left Tina in peace for the night, 
and she knew that the girl had spent her nights reading 
or watching TV.  Though she was really on call 24 hours 
a day, Janet wanted her to have some time for herself.

	"Yes," Janet answered.

	Janet instructed Tina that she would not be needed 
until 9 PM.  She wanted Tina to clean the kitchen and 
rest up before the night's activities.  Since it was 
summer, Janet opened the library doors and stepped 
outside.  It was still warm and the sun was up, so 
Janet let the sun warm her flesh.  Had she really 
walked here naked last year with Tiffany?

	Janet then proceeded to take a long walk around 
the estate.  It seemed incredible that someone could 
own so much property and place a wall around it!  She 
had been told by Tina when the gardeners had come last 
week to cut the lawn and do the other yard work.  The 
next time, Janet herself would watch them.

	The grounds were simply beautiful, and the flower 
garden was just as she remembered.  Having spent all 
day with the documents, she was glad to be outside.  
This day, the sky was truly clear.  There wasn't a 
cloud in sight, and Janet hoped that there would be 
another thunderstorm to remind her of Erica's death.

	Having completed a circuit of the house, Janet 
looked at her watch and decided that it was too late to 
go for a walk outside the grounds.  She had walked 
around the area once, and had seen large estates, some 
with horses in stables and yards ringed by split rails.

	She wondered if any of her neighbors knew about 
Erica, and her passing.  Since she had moved in, they 
had not had a single visitor.  Blanca had told them to 
be private, and she had instructed them that if someone 
got too nosy, she would "handle it."  Whatever that 
meant.

	Whatever Erica had devised, thought Janet, Blanca 
was definitely in on it.  The only question was whose 
side was she on?

	Janet remembered Blanca standing over her as she 
was bound to the footstool, being cropped again and 
again.  Then having a dildo inserted into her sex, 
being thrust back and forth.

	Janet's breath grew short, and her heart beat 
faster.  She realized that tonight she would be the one 
holding the crop, instead of someone else.

	Ever since she had punished Tiffany, Janet had 
been reluctant in using the whip.  Tiffany's attack had 
left her gun-shy, and a little scared of her new 
position.  Which was why she had taken it easy with 
Tina.

	By following Stephanie's advice, she had formed a 
bond with Tina.  Her companion had wanted to be cruel 
and vicious with her.  Instead, Janet realized that she 
had to let Tina get used to them and the household.  So 
she had stopped Tiffany, and had only occasionally 
cropped Tina.

	Abuse was not the way to go with a slave, new or 
otherwise!

	Janet walked inside, astonished to see that it was 
past 8.  Twilight was falling, and night would soon be 
here.

	She locked the library doors, and went into her 
bedroom.  Since there were only the two of them, Janet 
would have to dress herself for her session with Tina.   
Normally, it would be part of the ritual for Tina to 
help her Mistress dress.  But since they were alone, 
Janet had to do that herself.

	Finally stripped of her office clothes, which she 
would never have to wear again, Janet realized that a 
quick shower was in order.  She stepped under a 
stinging hot shower that washed away the city's dirt 
and the fatigue she felt after going over all that 
paperwork.

	She dried and toweled herself off, drying her hair 
with a dryer she had brought from home.  Finally ready, 
she opened Erica's closet and stepped inside naked.  
Not wanting to wear something confining like a Catsuit 
all night, she chose a simple leather bra and skirt.  
She had found an ingenious pair of hosiery in Erica's 
drawers that had it's own garter belt for her waist.  
This way, her sex would be easily available for action.

	Janet first pulled on the stockings, then wrapped 
the skirt around her waist.  Then she put on her bra, 
inhaling the wonderful scent of the leather.  She last 
selected a pair of calf high matching boots with the 
usual five-inch heels.  Janet admired herself in the 
full-length mirror.

	"I do a pretty good job myself," said Janet to 
herself.

	Glancing at the clock, she saw that it was past 9 
already, and Tina would be waiting in the library.  
Since she was the slave, Janet expected her to be naked 
and kneeling on the floor.

	Janet walked outside her bedroom and made her way 
to the library, her heart thundering with each step.  
She loved the sound that her heels made as they clicked 
on the wooden floor!

	Finally, she entered the library.  In the center 
of the room, on a small circular carpet knelt Tina.  
She was naked, wearing nothing at all.  Her head was 
bowed, and her hands rested on her knees, which were 
spread apart.  Her long hair was bound behind her head 
in a ponytail, giving Janet an easier time with gags 
and other implements.

	Janet walked around her Maid, inspecting her and 
saying nothing.  Her eyes followed the curves of her 
white skin, and noted the swell of her breasts.  Tina's 
back was decorated with the stripes of the crop, both 
past and present.  Her behind rested on the heels of 
her feet, and Janet saw her pubic bush and mound 
between her legs.

	"Have you been waiting long, my dear?" asked 
Janet.

	"No, Mistress.  I await your pleasure," replied 
Tina.

	Janet stood in front of her, her heart beating 
quickly.  She wanted this moment to last forever, and 
all thoughts of Tiffany and Blanca were erased from her 
mind.

	"Do you accept my discipline, slave Tina?"

	"Yes, Mistress Janet."

	"Then reach over and kiss my boot," commanded 
Janet.

	Tina bent over, and with her hands still on her 
knees, began to kiss the toe of Janet's shining black 
leather boot.  Her lips caressed the leather, leaving 
small bits of red lipstick behind on the black surface.  
She kissed it like it was a lover or companion.

	"Enough."

	Tina quickly assumed her former pose, with her 
head up and her hands still on her knees.

	"Hands behind your head," directed Janet.

	With her hands now in the ordered position, Tina's 
breasts slightly stuck out.  Janet could see the 
beautiful curves or her beasts, the red of her aureole 
and her erect nipples.

	"In the future, I want your aureole redder, so use 
some rouge on them."

	"Yes, Mistress," answered Tina.

	Since this was their first real scene, Tina was 
shivering with nervous excitement.  Janet observed her, 
and wished that she could read her thoughts right now.

	Opening a familiar desk drawer, Janet removed a 
black leather collar.  She then produced bracelets for 
Tina's wrists and ankles.  Walking back to Tina, she 
displayed the things in her hands.

	"Are you familiar with these?" asked Janet.

	"Yes, Mistress," answered Tina.

	"I shall place the collar around your neck and the 
bracelets around your wrists, but you must do your 
ankles.  Understand?" ordered Janet.

	"Yes, Mistress."

	Tina knelt silently as the collar was firmly 
locked around her neck, the lock making a small click 
when it closed.  Tina then held out her hands, and 
Janet locked similar bracelets around her wrists.  
Janet dropped the remaining two leather objects on the 
carpet, and Tina waited for her command.

	"You may proceed," ordered Janet. "Then resume the 
same position, with your hands behind your head."

	"Yes, Mistress."

	Tina did as she was ordered, locking the bracelets 
on her ankles.  In the silence of the library, Janet 
could hear the tiny clicks of the lock.  Tina quickly 
got on her knees, and placed her hands behind her head 
again.  She knelt in silence.

	"That's excellent," said Janet.

	"Thank you, Mistress," replied Tina.

	Janet inspected her again, wishing that this 
moment could last forever.  Just the two of them, 
Mistress and slave girl together.

	"Rise," ordered Janet.

	Tina did so, remaining silent.

	In one section of the library, there were two 
white pillars.  Janet had discovered ringbolts embedded 
in them, and had attached chains.  She led Tina over to 
them, and locked her wrists to their ends.

	Producing a riding crop from the desk, she circled 
her bound and helpless Maid.  Janet flexed the riding 
crop in her hands, feeling the stiffness of the bamboo 
underneath the leather.

	"Again, do you accept my discipline?" demanded 
Janet.

	"Yes, Mistress."

	"Then you must choose a safeword, Tina."

	"Mercy, Mistress Janet."

	Janet placed the crop's small looped tip between 
Tina's breasts, the tip brushing against her white 
silky globes.

	"Ready yourself," advised Janet.

	Janet than walked to her back, and slashed at 
Tina's exposed behind.  This was the first time that 
she had used the full force of her arm on Tina, and the 
crop slashed through the air and left a stripe on 
Tina's bottom.

	 Tina did not cry out, nor flinch when the next 
stroke or even the next several were delivered to her.  
Janet watched, as the fresh marks appeared on Tina's 
stretched form, her work evident upon the canvas of her 
slave's naked flesh.

	After Janet had delivered a series of exactly ten 
strokes on Tina's behind and back, she ceased her 
efforts.  She walked around to Tina's front, and the 
girl hung from her chains.

	"Thank you, Mistress," panted Tina.

	"You're welcome.  Kiss the crop," ordered Janet.

	Just as she had kissed Janet's boot before, now 
Tina willingly kissed the riding crop that had been the 
instrument of her torment.  Her lips circled around the 
leather, her tongue darting over the woven stands of 
the handle.

	Janet reached out with her hand, and placed her 
hand against Tina's cropped behind.  The skin was warm 
from the beating, and she ran her hand down Tina's back 
and played with Tina's behind.

	Tina had chosen to wear a brand of alluring 
perfume that Janet liked very much.  Even though Tina 
was now sweating from the discipline that she had just 
received, Janet could still detect the fragrance.

	Janet stood back and again flexed the crop, 
signaling that it was time to begin again.  Inside her 
leather bra, she felt her own nipples brush against the 
leather that contained them.  Which only served to 
excite her more.

	The next few strokes were delivered again Tina's 
breasts.  Janet held the true force of her arm back, so 
the impact of the rod was muted.  Still, Tina held her 
voice back and endured what must have been agony with 
only muted sounds.

	Janet saw that tears had formed at the edges of 
Tina's eyes.  She stopped after ten modest strokes, 
carefully executing each one.  Tina's breasts bobbed 
with each impact, and she tried to withdraw 
instinctively as each stroke landed.  But Janet saw 
that her efforts were to no avail when each stoke 
landed on her breasts again and again. 

	When Janet again ceased, Tina hung from her 
chains.  Her feet were standing firmly on the floor, 
and Janet had decided not to chain them to the pillars 
also.  That would be for next time.

	"Thank you, Mistress," cried Tina.

	Reaching forward, Janet's left hand entered Tina's 
sex.   Passing though her pubic hair, she felt Tina's 
labia, and how wet her sheath had become.  Janet gently 
pushed her two fingers inside, making Tina moan with 
desire.

	"Oooooh!"

	"Very good, Tina.  You took my crop nicely," said 
Janet.

	"Yes, Mistress," said Tina.

	Enjoying the nature of the moment, Janet did not 
want to ruin it by lashing out again with the crop.  
Ever since Tina had arrived, she had approached the 
question of her submission carefully.  She had never 
struck Tina in anger, nor to harm.  Instead, she wanted 
to imitate the same manner that Erica had used with 
her, never pushing her beyond her limits.

 	Pushing upwards against her sex made Tina stand on 
her toes as Janet's fingers reached deep within her 
sex.  Tina grasped the gleaming steel chains that held 
her to the posts in an effort to rise.

	"Mistress!" cried Tina.

	"Did I say you could cum yet? Hold yourself back, 
or there will be a terrible punishment," cautioned 
Janet.

	Even though her sex was being stimulated, Tina 
managed to hold herself back from orgasm.  Finally 
properly serving her Mistress, she yearned for release, 
but did not dare do so.

	When she was finally satisfied that Tina was truly 
ready, Janet dug her nails against Tina's love canal.

	"Now," said Janet.

	Tina began to twist and moan against her bonds.  
She was impaled on Janet's fingers, which brushed again 
the walls of her sex and felt her clit again and again.  
Tina climaxed again and again, her sex wrapped around 
Janet's fingers.

	When it was finally over, she took several deep 
breaths and slumped against her bonds.  Realizing her 
omission, she quickly turned her face down to Janet's 
leather clad body.

	"Thank you, Mistress," said Tina.

	"You're welcome," answered Janet.

	Janet had withdrawn her fingers from Tina's sex, 
and she rubbed her thumb, index, and forefingers 
together.

	"You're quite wet," observed Janet.

	"Thank you, Mistress," replied Tina.

	"What shall we do next?" questioned Janet.

	While Janet had thought that very little time had 
elapsed, the erotic nature of the moment had stretched 
to hours.  The clock was past midnight, and the sky was 
black.

	"Whatever my Mistress desires," answered Tina.

	Janet released Tina's wrists from the chains, and 
indicated that it was all right for her lower them to 
her waist.  Janet loved the way Tina's breasts stuck 
out, and her skin strained again her ribcage.  She had 
run her fingers through the shaved skin of Tina's 
underarms, determined that they would one day be 
cropped also.

	"Come here," ordered Janet.

	Tina followed her to a large wooden chair that 
Janet had found in another room.  Janet seated herself 
on the chair, the leather rustling as it rearranged 
itself to her new position.

	"Over my knee," directed Janet.

	Tina lay on Janet's knees, her behind up in the 
air.  The one thing that Erica had never done to Janet 
was to spank her with her bare hand.  Janet had acutely 
missed this bond, for all Erica had used were the 
implements of the Dungeon.

	But Janet was determined to change that with her 
slave.  She spanked Tina, carefully avoiding those 
spots where her crop had already left red marks.  Since 
she had been careful about administering only a certain 
number of strokes, that left a considerable area where 
her hand could now impact.

	Janet spanked Tina again and again, enjoying the 
feeling of her naked body resting on her knees.  A few 
times she had to order Tina to keep her bottom up, in 
order that the spanking could continue properly.

	Once Janet was satisfied that Tina's bottom was 
properly red, she ceased her actions.

	"Thank your Mistress, slave," said Janet.

	"Thank you, Mistress," cried Tina.

	"Stand up, then kneel again," ordered Janet.

	Tina did as she was ordered.  She favored her 
behind when it rested on the soles of her feet.  Janet 
observed her silently, considering what should she do 
next.  Take her to the Dungeon and whip her soundly?  
Take her to bed and make her service her Mistress?  The 
possibilities seemed endless at the moment.

	"Would you like to make love to your Mistress?" 
asked Janet.

	Janet had waited for months to make love to Erica, 
and had instead been used by Stephanie first.  But 
then, she was a new girl in training.  In contrast, 
Tina was already experienced when she had arrived.  And 
they had been under the same roof already for two 
weeks, with Tina receiving discipline occasionally.  So 
the circumstances were not the same.

	"Yes, Mistress."

	Janet led her not to her bedroom, but to another.  
She let Tina undress her, then lay naked upon the 
covers.  Tina was still adorned with her leather 
bracelets.

	"Please me," said Janet.

	Tina started by kissing Janet's erect nipples, 
made sweaty and erect by her leather bra.  She licked 
the furrow between Janet's breasts, tasting the salty 
sweat that had dried on her skin.  Her roving tongue 
gradually made it's way down to Janet's own sex and she 
buried her tongue between Janet's sex.  Janet moaned 
with pleasure as she was aroused and then quickly 
brought to climax by Tina.  Who was well trained and 
experienced, far more than Janet had ever been.

	Janet bucked and moaned, then finally exploded in 
orgasm after orgasm as her own sexual energy was 
released by the Tina's efforts.

	Finally, after they were both exhausted, Janet 
locked Tina's collar to a chain that was hanging from a 
ringbolt.  They both slept at the same time.
	*			*			*			*
	Janet breathed a sigh of relief when the last 
document was classified, holed, and placed in the 
loose-leaf binder.  She had stopped when Tina had 
announced Dinner the night before, when she had found 
the dread document telling of the test that she must 
undergo.

	But the night's activities had brightened her 
spirits.  In the morning, she had released Tina, and 
they had bathed together.  Janet dressed herself, and 
went downstairs to the kitchen while Tina was still 
getting ready.  She sipped juice while Tina prepared 
the rest of her breakfast, a western omelet that tasted 
wonderful.

	Afterwards, she had adjourned back to the library 
with a cup and a pitcher of black coffee.  She sipped 
at her coffee while reading the final papers, 
remembering the events of the previous night.

	Pleased with herself, Janet finally felt like she 
was a real Mistress, not just an amateur.  She had felt 
like a fake ever since she had found that she had 
inherited Erica's estate, and last night had finally 
proved what she might be capable of.

	It wasn't necessary to be mean or cruel to a 
slave, merely to test their limits.  While she was sure 
that she had gone nowhere near what Tina was capable 
of, it was a good first night that she would long savor 
and remember.

	There was nothing in the rest of the package of 
consequence.  Janet got up from the desk and decided to 
walk around.  Outside, the rest of the world had gone 
to work.  Inside, Janet was now in her own world, one 
that she was determined to keep for herself.

	Instead of wearing a blouse and skirt, she was 
wearing an old shirt, torn jeans, and a pair of open 
toed sandals.  She opened the library doors, and 
inhaled the country air.  Walking outside briefly, she 
watched a plane off in the distance.

	"What next?" Janet asked herself.

	Seating herself at the desk again, she remembered 
that she had wanted to go through it.  Unlike every 
other drawer that she had opened in the house, these 
finally contained some disorganized contents.  There 
were the financial records of the house, all bills, 
paid and unpaid, organized neatly.  Janet doubted that 
all of Erica's correspondence was here, but she went 
through all of it.

	When she went to replace one of the hanging 
folders that fit into the desk drawer, Janet saw an 
envelope bearing a familiar logo at the bottom of the 
desk drawer.  Janet bent down and grabbed the envelope.

	It was from her company and addressed to Erica!  
The postmark said it had been mailed three months ago, 
but it was empty.  Nothing inside!

	"Damn!" Janet cursed.

	Draining her coffee cup and finding the pitcher 
empty, she had a sudden inspiration.  If Erica owned 
stock in some companies, why not others?

	She picked up the phone, and this time she was 
calling Blanca.

	After speaking to her secretary, Janet got lucky 
since Blanca was just back from court.

	"Janet, nice to talk to you.  How can I help?"

	"I just finished going over that package you gave 
me," Janet told Blanca.

	"Good.  Do you understand its contents?"

	"Yes."

	"Then you know what you have to do, then.  Is 
there anything else?"

	"Yes.  I'd like you to fax me a complete listing 
of Erica's stock holdings?" asked Janet.

	"Why?"

	"I'm looking for something, so please do it."

	"No, you're not to have access to that for another 
year," refused Blanca, "Besides, you can't do anything 
with it."

	"I don't want to sell any of it, I just want to 
look for something."

	"What?" asked Blanca.

	"To see if she held stock in my old company, where 
I just got laid off from yesterday," explained Janet.

	"Why?"

	"Curiosity, that's all."

	"Again, no.  I refuse."

	Janet had once dated a stockbroker, and she had 
listened to him talk endlessly about the market.  After 
a while, though, she picked up some of the language.

	"Blanca, if she's a shareholder of record, that 
will be public knowledge.  I may have to call 
shareholder services myself and I'll do it.  It will 
only take me a little time to find out, so don't make 
it more difficult for me.  I know how to find this 
information, damn it!"

	She heard Blanca breathe a sigh at the other end 
of the phone, as she considered just what to do next.

	"All right.  Yes, Erica was a stockholder in your 
old company.  What does that have to do with anything?" 
asked Blanca.

	"Now it's my turn to refuse to answer," said 
Janet.

	"You're learning," said Blanca, before Janet heard 
the connection severed.

	Janet wished she could have some more coffee now, 
hot and black.  She felt a small measure of 
satisfaction that she had gotten something out of 
Blanca.  Janet fingered the envelope.

	It wasn't too much of a leap of imagination to 
believe that Erica had arranged to have Janet fired 
from her company shortly after her death.  Janet 
resolved to continue searching until she found the 
letter itself.  Or something from Erica asking that she 
is to be fired on a certain date.

	"A small victory," said Janet, "is better than 
none at all."

	Whenever Janet had been out of work in the past, 
she had managed to fill her time with reading and soap 
operas.  Now, as Mistress of an estate, she found all 
she could do was to explore the mansion and watch Tina 
at her chores.

	After rising, she had freed Tina of her bracelets.  
They had bathed and dressed, and Janet had ordered Tina 
to wear a red rubber Maid's outfit for the day.  Janet 
loved the way it clung to her figure, and the wet sound 
it made whenever Tina moved.

	Janet looked over the list of her stock portfolio, 
and decided that now was the time to start learning.  
Her portfolio was to be exclusively controlled by a 
broker here in Greenwich, so she called him for an 
appointment.  Dressing again in a smart looking 
business suit, she went to his office.

	The terms were quite strict.  He was not allowed 
to give any recommendations or advice, only to execute 
buy or sell orders.  He was to report to Blanca with 
all of her trades, and to keep her informed.

	Janet thought it would be quite a revelation to 
him if her knew the true purpose of his strict orders.  
The winner would become a Mistress and the loser her 
slave. She left his office with his card in her purse, 
and bought a Journal at the first newsstand.

	"Demon of Wall Street," she said to herself.

	For the day at least, life was good.
	*			*			*			*
	Some days later, while Janet was dozing in the 
library, she heard a knock on the door.

	"Yes," said Janet.

	"Mistress Tiffany has come home," said Tina after 
she opened the door.

	Janet got to her feet, just in time to see an 
airport limo arrive at the front door.  The driver 
opened the door for Tiffany, and got her bags out of 
the trunk.  Tiffany paid the driver, and faced Janet.

	"Hello," greeted Tiffany.

	"Have a good trip?" asked Janet.

	Tiffany ran over and wrapped her arms around 
Janet, and they kissed awkwardly.

	"I'm sorry I was such a fool," said Tiffany. "Can 
you ever forgive me?"

	"Sure," Janet answered.

	Tina had already taken Tiffany's bags inside, and 
the two Dominants entered the house together.

	"Hey!" said Tiffany, "it's a workday.  What are 
you doing here?"

	"I got fired," said Janet, glumly.

	"That's too bad," answered Tiffany.

	"Let's go in the library, and then you can tell me 
all about your trip," suggested Janet.

	After telling Tina that they would like some 
sodas, they went into the library.  Tiffany flopped 
down into one of the big leather chairs, and sank down 
into the cushion.

	"Where did you go?" asked Janet.

	"Hawaii, Malibu, Baja.  Every beach I ever wanted 
to," answered Tiffany.

	"You certainly have a nice tan," said Janet.

	"All over, too.  Let's just say that I wasn't 
wearing any clothing."

	"What about your medallion?" Janet asked.

	"I had the medallion removed, but not the ring.  
After all, I'm no longer Erica's slave," replied 
Tiffany.

	"Andrea's no longer here to shave my pussy, so I 
guess that I'll let it grow back," Janet offered.

	"It looks better that way anyway.  What have you 
been doing?" asked Tiffany.

	"Keeping the home fires burning, learning what it 
takes to run a place like this."

	"You always were the level headed one, Janet.  Did 
you read all that stuff Erica left for us?"

	"Yes, very boring," answered Janet.

	"Quite.  I lost interest going through that 
stuff," answered Tiffany.

	The next day, Janet chanced upon Tina emptying the 
wastebasket from Tiffany's bedroom.  Inside was a 
week's worth of the Journal.

	Damn! Thought Janet.
	*		*			*			*

Part Two: Encounter with Evil

	After her second trip into Greenwich to meet the 
broker, Janet decided that now was a good time to walk 
around.  Janet looked over the list and merely nodded, 
holding the computer printout like it was about to bite 
her.  She put the list into her purse, and decided to 
stroll around for a while.

	Walking outside in the summer air, she passed by 
an electronics shop and ventured inside.  Janet picked 
up a cell phone and played with it.

	"Would you like to purchase it?" asked the 
salesgirl.

	"Yes," smiled Janet in response.

	It was her first purchase as Mistress of the 
House.  She bought a mid-priced model, and a calling 
plan.  It was so light, Janet wondered if she knew that 
it would really be in her purse.  It was also just an 
impulse purchase, something to justify her trip to go 
into Greenwich.

	"It's great," said the girl, "perfect for an 
emergency."

	"I don't plan on having one," answered Janet.

	"Nobody does.  Until you need it to save your 
life."

	Janet slipped her purchase into her purse, and was 
reminded to charge it up fully on its base every night.  
She decided that placing it on the nightstand next to 
her bed would be a good spot for it.

	When she arrived home, Janet programmed in 
Stephanie's number first, then left it to charge for an 
entire day.

	"Would you like to go somewhere tomorrow?" asked 
Tiffany over dinner.

	"Where?"

	"I've met a new Mistress named Lauren Singer.  
She's invited us to a party at one of her friend's 
houses," offered Tiffany.

	"Can't say that I ever heard Erica talk about a 
Mistress Lauren," commented Janet.

	"That's because her horizons were a little 
limited.  Want to come?"

	"Sure.  When?"

	"Tomorrow at 10.  Don't worry, I'll drive," said 
Tiffany.

	"Okay," smiled Janet.

	The next evening, Tiffany and Janet set out 
together.  Janet had worn a PVC outfit that had been 
Erica's, and Tiffany had decided on a leather dress.  
Since it was cool, they each wore a jacket.

	Tiffany drove, and Janet wondered just how and 
when she had met this new Mistress.  Erica had been one 
of the most highly regarded Dominants, and surely knew 
everyone.  Except that Janet had not found any mention 
of Lauren in Erica's records, and was puzzled by the 
omission.

	They arrived at the house of a modest estate over 
the border in New York.  Tiffany parked the car, and 
they entered together.

	Inside, some women that Janet had never met before 
warmly welcomed Tiffany.  She waited in silence as they 
embraced and kissed.

	"I'd like to introduce Janet," said Tiffany.

	"Pleased to meet you," said Janet.

	"I'm Tanya," said one, "would you like a drink?"

	"Sure."

	"Let's go the bar," suggested Tanya.

	Tanya was an attractive woman, thin tanned and 
muscular.  Janet could see the muscles that rippled 
beneath her skin.

	"Have you ever been to one of Lauren's parties?" 
asked Tanya.

	"No," Janet answered.

	"Then you're in for a treat.  Lauren just doesn't 
invite just anyone. You have to be one of the special 
people.  Drink?"

	They had finally arrived at the bar.  Behind the 
bar was a naked slave, wearing a collar that attached 
her to the wooden bar.  Janet noted that she wouldn't 
be leaving her post until released, and there was a 
riding crop hanging from the front of the bar.

	"In case you're not satisfied, you can give the 
bartender a few strokes.  Or even if you are satisfied, 
and want to have some fun," smiled Tanya.

	"Whiskey sour," ordered Janet.

	The slave quickly mixed the drink, and placed it 
on a coaster before Janet.  Janet picked it up and took 
a sip.

	"A little too sweet for me," observed Janet.

	Before Janet could say that she would drink it 
anyway, Tanya grabbed the riding crop and administered 
a few quick slashing strokes to the naked girl.  Janet 
noted how she cowered, and that her skin already bore 
the marks of several such punishments.

	"I'm sorry, Mistress," cried the girl.

	The girl mixed another drink, and offered that to 
Janet.  The second one was tart and not that sweet, the 
way that Janet preferred.

	"Thank you," said Janet.

	"You're welcome, Mistress," thanked the girl.

	"Did you have to do that?" Janet asked as they 
walked away.

	"Why not?  She's there for our use," commented 
Tanya.

	"But not for something so petty as a bad drink.  
It certainly didn't merit several harsh strokes like 
that," pointed out Janet.

	"What kind of Mistress are you?  The slaves are 
here for our enjoyment and use," answered Tanya.

	Janet chose not to respond, only to thank her 
companion and politely walk away.  Janet stayed out of 
everyone's way, only engaging in small talk with a few 
of the other Mistresses when asked.

	Instead, she hung back to observe.  She seated 
herself in a large leather chair, and watched as the 
other Mistresses displayed how they treated their 
slaves.  It was nothing unusual to see a girl led in by 
a leash, totally naked.  But Janet was offended by the 
almost casual and capricious way that the slaves were 
treated and showed signs of abuse.  Often, they were 
made to cower in fear with the threat of a severe 
punishment if they did not obey quickly.

	Janet was glad when she heard her cell phone buzz 
and she had to excuse herself to find somewhere private 
to talk.

	"Stephanie?" Janet asked when she was outside, 
"can you hear me?"

	"Janet, where are you?  I'm sorry, I was out all 
day and I didn't know you called till I got home just 
now."

	"I'm with Tiffany at a party."

	"Really.  Who's the host?" asked Stephanie.

	"A Mistress Lauren, I haven't met her yet."

	"Don't.  Just leave," advised Stephanie.

	"That would be rude," said Janet.

	"You don't want to have anything to do with her," 
cautioned Stephanie, "trust me, please?"

	"Janet, so that's where you are!" said Tiffany.

	"Have to go," Janet said into the phone.

	"Janet, please!  Listen to me," plead Stephanie, 
as Janet cut the connection.

	"Who was that?" asked Tiffany.

	"Just calling a friend," said Janet, "what's 
next?"

	"The entertainment.  I've been looking for you.  I 
want to introduce you to our host, Lauren," offered 
Tiffany.

	"I'm looking forward to it."

	Janet was soon shaking hands with her hostess, who 
Tiffany had introduced.

	"I've been wanting to meet you for a long time," 
said Lauren, "ever since Tiffany told me about you."

	"She's never told me about you," replied Janet.

	"Let's just say that I travel in different circles 
than the ones that you're used to.  Shall we go down to 
the Dungeon, since everyone else went there while you 
were outside."

	"Sure."

	Janet followed Tiffany and Lauren down to the 
Dungeon.  Smaller than the one under Erica's house it 
still had enough space for all the usual things that a 
Mistress would want.

	It was obvious that the entertainment had gotten 
started without Janet.  The other guests had begun by 
punishing two naked girls already, and numerous stripes 
and welts already covered their bodies.

	Tanya pressed a crop into Janet's hand, which she 
took and did not use.  Instead, Janet played with the 
crop, bending it with her hands.

	"Why don't you use one of the girls?" asked 
Tiffany.

	"Thank you," said Janet.

	Suddenly, all eyes were on Janet as she walked 
over towards the spot where one of the slaves was 
hanging from a ceiling chain.  Janet noted that the 
girl was attired in a collar and bracelets, and a 
spreader bar opened her ankles.

	Janet looked the girl in the eye.

	"What's your name?" asked Janet.

	"Audrey, Mistress." 

	"Do you accept my discipline?" demanded Janet.

	"Yes, Mistress."

	Since she did not know either how much the girl 
had been used before, or what she had been trained to 
endure, Janet only administered several light strokes 
with the crop.  Then she felt the girl's breasts and 
sex, making her moan.

	When she was finished, she was surprised to find 
Lauren standing behind her.

	"Surely you can do better than that?" asked 
Lauren.

	"What do you mean?" asked Janet.

	"I'm sure that you've been punished harsher than 
that, haven't you?" questioned Lauren.

	"Yes.  But I don't know how she's been trained," 
pointed out Janet.

	"That doesn't matter here," said Lauren.

	"It always matters," corrected Janet.

	"Who was your trainer?" demanded Lauren.

	"Mistress Erica," said Janet.

	"Erica was a sentimental fool," said Lauren.

	"I disagree."

	"Then let me demonstrate," said Lauren.

	Janet handed the crop to Lauren, who soon replaced 
it with a whip instead.  Janet then seated herself on a 
chair that was near a small bar, with the same girl 
chained to it.

	"Do you submit?" asked Lauren.

	"Yes, Mistress," cried Audrey.

	"Now you shall know what it feels like to have a 
truly severe Mistress!"

	Lauren began her punishment with a series of hard 
strokes that left the girl panting from the pain.  It 
didn't take long for a series of ugly red welts to 
appear on her body.

	"Why doesn't she call for mercy?" Janet asked the 
bartender, softly.

	"Because she knows that it will not be heeded," 
said the girl, "were you really trained by Mistress 
Erica?"

	"Yes, I was her slave," Janet answered.

	"Then you served a better Mistress than any here," 
she quietly replied.

	When the whip curled itself around her body, 
Audrey hung limply from her chains.  Lauren continued 
to strike her without pause or mercy, and ignored the 
moans from the girl.

	"Stop it," said Janet to Tanya, since Tiffany had 
disappeared.

	"Why?"

	"Because Audrey's been used enough," Janet 
protested.

	"Lauren's not finished yet," replied Tanya.

	"Lauren may not be done, but I am," said Janet.

	Janet rose to her feet and walked out of the 
Dungeon.  She had asked the address before they went to 
the house, and called a cab from her cell phone.  She 
felt sick and disgusted by what she had seen.  But it 
was the look of pure venom on Lauren's face when Janet 
had taken her exit that Janet remembered most as she 
left the party.

"Janet in Training" by sfmaster@worldnet.att.net
Chapter Nine: The Ordeal

	Janet looked outside her bedroom window at the 
dark winter sky.  She had been sleeping in Erica's 
bedroom now for months, and fortunately Tiffany had not 
made an issue of it.  But it still felt strange 
sleeping in Erica's bed, wearing her clothes, and 
living her life.  It had been six months since her 
death last summer, and the time had gone by quickly.

	She rose from bed, and decided not to go through 
the ritual of having Tina bathe and dress her.  It was 
a nice luxury, to be sure.  And she often enjoyed it.  
But not everyday, and she wasn't a child that had to be 
pampered at her every move.

	Janet stretched, and jumped in the hot shower.  
She washed off the sweat that had been generated when 
she and Tiffany had dominated a new girl named Denise 
Powell who had been in Erica's records.  Janet had 
decided that she didn't want to intrude on Tiffany's 
scene, and had politely excused herself halfway 
through.  She could have continued with Tina, but had 
decided to read for the rest of the night.  Besides, 
she had already decided to use Tina tomorrow night.  
Janet had brought a riding crop, and straps to tie Tina 
to her bed.  She was going to have a wonderful evening 
planned.

	She soaped her breasts and belly, glad that she 
was using the exercise room.  Tina had gone to school 
for cooking, and Janet wondered if she was qualified to 
be a chef.  Had she not exercised, Janet was worried 
that she would have gained weight.  Still, she had 
asked Tina to lay off the rich food and adjusted the 
menus accordingly.  Gluttons didn't fit into skintight 
rubberwear.

	After the shower awakened her, she dressed in a 
plaid shirt and old jeans.  She pulled her legs into a 
pair of boots, and tucked her cuffs inside.  Janet 
would be going into town today to the broker, and she 
had to prepare.

	In the six months that they had been living 
together as two Dominants under one roof, there was one 
thing that they never discussed: Erica's contest.

	They shared in the training and discipline of 
slaves, even slept together on occasion.  They shared 
the most intimate details that two women could have 
under one roof.  But still, they could not discuss the 
Sword of Damocles that hung above them.

	Janet had never made any mention of it, nor about 
what she was doing.  She had memorized the brokers 
number, then burned his card.  Then she had rented a 
bank safety deposit box in town where she kept her 
notes.  She never kept her notes at home, nor discussed 
them in any way.

	Tiffany was far different.  She left copies of 
financial newspapers at home, with stocks clearly 
circled.  Her notes were sometimes found lying around, 
and she made little effort to conceal what she was 
doing.  Janet didn't know if she really owned the 
stocks, of course.

	After dressing, she went downstairs.  The kitchen 
was empty, and Janet guessed that Tiffany had asked 
Tina to help her bathe and dress.  So Janet got her 
juice from the fridge, and started the water for fresh 
coffee.

	If Janet wanted to be independent, Tiffany wanted 
to be pampered.  She would frequently use Tina as her 
bath girl in the morning, making her rise very early.  
If she made a mistake, Tina would be sure to receive a 
few strokes with the crop that Tiffany kept in her 
room.

	Still, Tina did not complain.  She had 
demonstrated her ability to serve both as a domestic 
and more.  They both used her as their assistant in the 
Dungeon, and as sex slave at night.  Janet sometimes 
wondered if Tiffany was careless, however.

	Tina ran into the kitchen, her heels clicking on 
the tiles.  Worry was clearly visible on her face.

	"Mistress Janet, I'm sorry to be late," Tina 
apologized.

	"It's all right," said Janet.

	"I was being used by Mistress Tiffany."

	"I know.  Tell me, does Tiffany interfere in your 
work in keeping the house?  Then punish you if you have 
failed to clean or do something?" questioned Janet.

	"Yes, Mistress."

	"Thank you, Tina.  I had no idea.  I'll take up 
the matter with Tiffany, and she will not interfere 
with your work again."

	"Thank you, Mistress," answered Tiffany.

	Breakfast was a loud affair, with Tiffany eager to 
explain how she had disciplined and used Denise.  Janet 
listened to her, hearing the details like Tiffany had 
just bought a coat at a department store.  She wondered 
if Tiffany had really read all of the documents that 
Erica had left them.  Or had just managed to find the 
one on the stock market contest and ignore the rest.

	She certainly hadn't read the parts on training 
and using slave girls.  Janet had spent day after day, 
reading and rereading, constantly asking questions of 
Stephanie.  Since Janet had befriended Stephanie, 
Tiffany had instead turned for advice to Mistress 
Lauren Singer.  Mistress Lauren evidently hadn't read 
those rules either, and Stephanie was strangely silent 
about her.

	Like two prizefighters in the ring, Janet thought, 
they both had their respective corners and advisors.  
After breakfast, she went to the library, and turned on 
the radio to get the weather report. Snow was forecast, 
and she wanted to drive into town to see the broker.

	Tiffany would use the phone to contact her broker, 
and Erica certainly wouldn't have them use the same 
person, or even the same firm.  But Janet didn't dare 
use the phone.  Instead, Janet followed her ritual of 
driving into town.  Then she used the public library 
(she had given the library a generous donation during a 
fundraising drive) then went to the broker, and 
returned home.  Her excuse was that she was going 
shopping, and she had to purchase something to justify 
her trips.

	 Living in Connecticut during winter was quite 
different than in Queens.  Greenwich was full of hills, 
not flat like Queens, so driving was challenge even 
during good weather.  Small winding roads, slower 
speeds, and frequent hills all made the place a 
nightmare to drive through.  Janet had learned caution 
when after a brief rainstorm she had hit the brakes and 
slid through an intersection.  So she drove nice and 
slow.

	Snow was forecast, but only in the evening.  Good, 
that would give her the chance to go to Greenwich and 
do her business with the broker.  Janet now had to 
decide what coat to wear today.

	Looking at her watch, she saw that it was near 
opening time for the library. It would be nice to have 
a day out.  However, she wondered if it was better to 
confront Tiffany about her treatment of Tina first, or 
leave it for later in the day.

	Her decision was made for her when she heard the 
front door close with a bang.  That meant that Tiffany 
was off somewhere, and gone for the day.

	At least that decision had been postponed for now.  
Since Tiffany had made friends with Mistress Lauren, 
she had certainly changed, and for the worse.  Lauren 
expressed the view that she was lord over her slaves, 
and treated them badly.  She definitely was glad that 
her first Mistress had been Erica, and not Lauren.  It 
was one thing to serve and be properly disciplined.  It 
was another to be carelessly treated by a selfish and 
intolerant Mistress.  Janet shivered at the life that 
her slaves must lead!

	Finishing her coffee, Janet turned the radio off.  
Only to see large white snowflakes start drifting down 
onto the ground, sticking right as they landed.

	"Just a great day," said Janet aloud, "I have to 
see the broker, I have to talk with Tiffany, and it has 
to snow.  What else will the gods throw at me today?"

	"Mistress?" asked Tina, "I heard you speaking.  
Were you calling me?"

	"No, Tina.  Just talking to myself, thank you.  
You may proceed with your work."

	"Thank you, Mistress," Tina answered as she closed 
the library doors.

	Janet did not look where she was going until she 
walked right into Erica's computer, almost toppling 
over the minitower.

	"Damn!" shouted Janet, after stubbing her toe on 
the computer's desk.

	She seated herself on the chair, and pulled her 
boot off, massaging her aching toe.  It throbbed, and 
she was considering calling Tina to get an icepack for 
her.  Suddenly, her eyes turned to feral slits as she 
looked at the computer setup.

	"Holy cow, what a fool I've been," said Janet to 
herself.

	Janet stared at the computer like it was an alien 
artifact.  In the six months since they had inherited 
the estate, neither of them had touched the computer.  
Tiffany, after leaving her job, had said that she had 
never wanted to use one again.  Janet had just been too 
busy, and even though she was in the library 
constantly, she had never thought to turn it on either.

	All of the memories of Erica working on the 
computer flooded back to her.  Whenever she had 
arrived, Erica could usually be found at the machine.  
Janet wondered just how much she worked at the machine 
when the other household duties were taken care of.

	Her hand was reaching for the on switch when she 
stopped herself.  She suddenly remembered that once at 
her firm files had been deleted by accident.  So they 
had taken the machine to a data retrieval service that 
had recovered them.  If Janet had turned on the 
machine, they would likely have been lost!

	Since Erica had covered her other clues, why not 
this one?  Assuming that Erica had deleted the files, 
they would still be on the hard drive.  She opened the 
desk drawer for the local phone books, her throbbing 
foot totally forgotten.

	"Eureka!" Janet shouted.

	Not only was there a data retrieval service here 
in Greenwich, they were connected to the firm that her 
company had used in Manhattan!  She picked up the 
phone, and asked their hours.

	Janet pulled her boot on again, and pulled the 
computer desk away from the wall.  Fortunately, the 
cables were few and easy.  She carried the computer 
into the kitchen, and wrapped it in plastic bags.

	Pulling her coat around herself, she exited the 
house.  The drive into Greenwich was already slow, and 
she passed an accident.  Finally, she pulled in front 
of her destination.

	"Can I help you?" asked the woman at the front 
desk.

	"Yes, I called earlier.  I need something 
retrieved from this machine," answered Janet.

	"Fill out this form, and I'll have someone take 
care of you," said the woman as she passed Janet a 
clipboard, form, and pen.

	Janet raced through the form just in time for a 
white-coated man to enter the waiting area.

	"Hi, I'm Carl.  Sharon tells me you need something 
found?"

	"Hello, I'm Janet Davis.  Yes, I need something 
from this machine, and I'm afraid that I may erase it 
by accident."

	"Step this way, please," indicated Carl.

	Janet followed him to a clean area, where computer 
lay open their internal contents open to view.  He sat 
down at a bench, and motioned for Janet to put the 
machine down and take a seat.

	"Would you like to leave it here?" he asked.

	Janet had taken two new crisp hundred-dollar bills 
and had them hidden in her hand.  This was something 
she needed now, and couldn't wait.

	"The information I need is of a pressing nature, 
and must be extracted immediately for business reasons.  
I'm prepared to wait," answered Janet.

	"No problem, I can do this right away," he said.

	Janet watched in silence as he opened the box up, 
and disconnected the disk drive, only to reconnect it 
to another computer on his desk.  Then he turned his 
machine on and fed power to only the disk drive on 
Erica's computer.  He fiddled around with his keyboard 
for a moment, and Janet watched as file names scrolled 
on the screen.

	"What are you looking for?" Carl asked.

	"Any files that were deleted just before the 
computer was last used six months ago," answered Janet.

	He typed in a few more commands, then sat back in 
his chair.

	"There's just one, a letter."

	"Print it, please," asked Janet.

	The printer at the counter buzzed to life, and 
Janet walked over and removed it.  She felt like 
screaming when she read the contents.

Dear Richard,
	As per our earlier discussion, Secretary Janet 
Davis is to be dismissed for whatever reason 
immediately after she returns to work.

										Erica 
Riken

	"Thank you," Janet stuttered when she looked up 
from the paper.

	"By the way, had you turned it on, that would have 
been deleted," cautioned Carl.

	Janet paid for the service in cash, and handed 
Carl the bills that she had kept folded in her hand.

	"That's not necessary," he said.

	"Make a car payment with it.  Or buy the whole 
office a good lunch on me.   I don't want any 
solicitations in the mail from you for computer 
services.  So keep me off your mailing list. That's 
what the extra payment is for," said Janet.

	Once back in the car, with the computer at her 
side, Janet felt like pounding the steering wheel.  Had 
Erica and Andrea really died when their plane went down 
in the rugged mountains of Mexico?  No bodies, or the 
plane, had ever been found.

	Instead, now Janet knew that she was a puppet on a 
string.  Everything that happened had been arranged 
months in advance.  Erica's death, the will, the 
contest.  Everything.  Except knowing that changed 
nothing.  There was still the stock market, and the 
possibility that she might become Tiffany's slave.

	Janet wiped the tears from her eyes before setting 
out for the library.  She placed the printed letter in 
her safety deposit box before going home as her last 
stop that day.  The dark gray winter sky, with snow 
falling, was a perfect match for her mood right now.
											
			*				*			
	*		*
	Dinner was over, and they were both lingering at 
the table over coffee and dessert.

	"Janet," began Tiffany, "I've noticed that you've 
been very moody lately."

	"Yes, I guess so," Janet answered.

	"Well, I think that you should use that little 
girl I've been training, Denise."

	"You've already used Denise twice this week," said 
Janet.

	"Yes, but she loves it so."

	"You should really give her a break.  If you use 
her too often, she'll never want to serve you," 
cautioned Janet.

	"I disagree.  The harder you use a girl, the more 
she'll want to serve."

	"Where did you hear that from.  Lauren?"

	"Yes.  Her girls are very well behaved," stated 
Tiffany.

	"I'm sure they are, and terrified to boot.  Erica 
never used you quite so harshly," parried Janet.

	"She had me pierced," pouted Tiffany.

	"Which you thought of as a mark of love, which was 
what you told me," said Janet.

	"Maybe you're right about that.  But still, we're 
on top now, and should act like it.  So instead of 
entertaining Denise tonight, how about going to 
Lauren's?  She's going to have a little party tonight, 
and we're invited," Tiffany offered.

	"No thanks."

	"I never said anything when you took me to 
Stephanie's, did I?  You can at least be polite by 
going to see one of my friends, too," criticized 
Tiffany.

	Janet realized that Tiffany was correct.  Holding 
her emotions in check, she breathed deeply and took the 
last swallow of coffee before answering.

	"All right.  I'll go.  What's on the agenda?"

	"Just a little party game," answered Tiffany.

	Janet chose to wear a white linen blouse and a 
plaid skirt.  When she waited for Tiffany, she wondered 
just what her companion had decided.  Janet bit her lip 
when she saw that Tiffany had picked a skintight red 
rubber dress, and matching shoes.

	"Won't you be a little cold in that?"

	"We're going to someone's house, not out to a 
nightclub," Tiffany pointed out.

	"And rubber is a little fragile also.  It's one 
thing to wear it at home.  Something else to wear it 
outside," cautioned Janet.

	"Will you cut it out," said Tiffany. "We have to 
go now, or we'll be late.  So let's go."

	"Who's driving?"

	"You are."

	With the sky totally black and the roads slippery, 
Janet decided to take the Toyota.  Tiffany wanted her 
to drive the BMW, but Janet talked her out of it.  She 
preferred to use the FWD sedan, rather than the sporty 
BMW.  Tiffany was mollified by the idea that they might 
go out and splurge on a SUV.  It seemed that the 
prospect of spending money always managed to impress 
Tiffany.

	Janet however, had a simpler idea for dealing with 
bad weather: don't drive.

	The trip was long and slow, with Tiffany always 
urging her to go faster.  Janet kept her mouth shut, 
determined to get them there in one piece.  Learning to 
drive here had been a bitch, and it had taken her a 
long time, but they finally arrived.

	Mistress Lauren Singer lived well outside 
Greenwich, in an estate that had once been part of a 
large farm.  Gradually, the surrounding land had been 
sold off, leaving only the house, which had been 
surrounded with a wall also.  Janet drove up the 
driveway, and pressed a button on a post where a 
speaker was located.  The gate opened, and she drove up 
to the house.

	When they parked and exited the car, the door was 
opened and a Maid was waiting for them.  Janet noted 
that the Maid was wearing a black silk outfit, high 
heels, and a kerchief on her head.  She was also 
wearing a collar and bracelets on her wrists.

	"Good evening," greeted the Maid, "you are 
expected."

	"Thank you," answered Tiffany.

	Janet followed her companion into the house.  The 
Maid took their coats, and ushered them into the dining 
room.

	Mistress Lauren Singer was in her late thirties, 
slim and good looking.  Janet thought that at one time 
she might have been a model, but that had not been the 
case.

	"Good evening, Tiffany.  Nice to see you again, 
and you've brought Janet," greeted Lauren.

	"I came along for the ride," said Janet.

	"What a liar," said Tiffany, "she insisted on 
driving."

	"Really.  Are you a good driver?" asked Lauren.

	"Yes," Janet answered, "it all depends on who's in 
control."

	"Let me introduce you to our other guests," Lauren 
took Janet's hand, and they walked over to the dining 
room table.  Seated were two other women, none of whom 
Janet recognized.

	"This is Carla and Rene," introduced Lauren, "this 
is Janet Davis, who lives with Tiffany."

	"Nice to meet you," said Carla, "why don't you sit 
down?"

	"Thank you," said Janet as she pulled up a chair.

	"Drink?" asked Carla.

	"Thank you, is there any white wine?"

	"Sabrina?" called Carla.

	The Maid walked quickly to the dining room table, 
and stood at attention before the seated women.

	"Janet here wasn't served properly," said Carla.

	"Would you like a drink, Mistress?" asked Sabrina.

	"Yes, some white wine would do," said Janet.

	"Yes, Mistress."

	Sabrina walked quickly to the bar, and poured a 
slender glass of white wine.  She walked back, and 
placed it on the wooden table with a coaster.

	"Your wine, Mistress," said Sabrina as she bowed.

	"Thank you, Sabrina," replied Janet.

	As Sabrina walked away, Janet speculated on whom 
among her two companions would use this little omission 
for an excuse to punish Sabrina.  Lauren had not taken 
the bait from the small insult that Janet had used, but 
Janet still suspected that her host would somehow use 
it against her later.

	'God, I wish Stephanie was here,' thought Janet.

	In the last six months, it had been Stephanie who 
had taught her all about being a Mistress.  Weeks 
before, Janet was at a party where had seen Lauren 
mistreat a slave girl past her breaking point.  Janet 
wondered if she was going to do it again.

	"Have you dominated many girls?" asked Rene.

	"A few.  I'm still feeling my way around," Janet 
answered.

	"Lauren has showed me the proper way to deal with 
my girls," said Carla.

	"Really?" asked Janet.

	"She's going to provide a demonstration here 
tonight," said Rene, "so don't spoil the fun for our 
new guest, Carla, by spilling the beans too early."

	Janet took a sip of her drink, and decided to hold 
her tongue.  There was a structure here, a hierarchy of 
Dominance.  And it was Lauren who was holding court in 
her house, like an African hyena out on the plains.  
Stephanie had made it quite plain to Janet that she 
disapproved of Lauren and her methods.

	"Are we ready, ladies?" asked Lauren as she 
approached the dining room table.

	"Yes," answered Helen, "but for what?"

	"First, the prize.  Sabrina!" called Lauren.

	Sabrina led a naked chained slave girl by a leash.  
The girl was completely naked, wearing only a collar, 
bracelets on her wrists and ankles, and a ball gag.  
Her wrists were joined behind her back, and a leather 
strap was closed above her elbows drawing her arms 
together.

	"This is Myra, who belongs to Rene.  She's been a 
bad little girl lately, and so Rene and I have decided 
that she's going to be the evening's prize in a little 
contest."

	"Really," said Janet as Tiffany seated herself 
next to her.

	Janet looked Myra over, and saw that she had been 
well whipped.  Stripes, new and old, traced their way 
over her naked body.  The girl held herself well, 
though the elbow strap must have hurt.  Janet wondered 
what she must have been thinking, with her mouth filled 
with the rubber ball.

	"Janet, since you're new here, I'll let you do the 
honors.  Could you go to the china closet and remove 
the game from the upper drawer?" asked Lauren.

	"Certainly," said Janet.

	Doing as she was told, Janet walked over to the 
china closet and opened the top drawer.  Inside was a 
wrapped rectangular object that she carried back to the 
table.  Janet placed it in front of her as she again 
seated herself, waiting for further instructions.

	"You may open it, Janet," directed Lauren.

	Janet pulled off the wrapping paper, and revealed 
a game from her childhood, Conquest.  She pulled off 
the paper, and folded it neatly.  Janet then placed it 
in the center of the table, so that all of Lauren's 
guests were facing it.

	"You're all familiar with Conquest, I hope?" asked 
Lauren.

	"Haven't played that in years," said Rene.

	"Me too," added Carla.

	Around the table, each guest admitted that they 
had played the game at one time or another.  Finally, 
everyone looked at Janet.

	"I used to play, but that was years ago," admitted 
Janet.

	When her brother hadn't been trying to beat the 
crap out of her bodily, he had been doing so on the 
board game.  They had played Conquest constantly 
throughout childhood all the way to college.  Finally, 
tired of being beat, she had read some books on war, 
learned her mistakes, and started beating him.  By the 
time she reached college, she was unbeatable.  Macho 
male guys in the student center would find that she was 
a tough customer who they couldn't defeat.

	"Well then, let's begin.  The winner will have the 
use of Myra here tonight.  All of us get to watch down 
in my playroom," said Lauren.

	Janet opened the box, and unfolded the board onto 
the table.  All of the players chose their color 
armies, and the nation cards were distributed.  The 
armies were counted out, and placed on the board.  They 
rolled the dice to set the order of play, and the four 
women engaged in War to conquer the world.  With the 
prize being Myra, who had been led away by Sabrina.

	Janet hung back, playing conservatively, letting 
the others battle it out.  She attacked gradually, 
gaining new countries at first, continents next.  Her 
color, red, that she had always used, gradually took 
over more and more of the Earth's surface.

	In desperation, two of her opponents joined 
together to stop her.  But with one brilliant move 
after another, she first smashed one opponent, then 
another.

	One by one, the others were eliminated. Their 
armies were removed from the board, and they became her 
audience.  Finally, she faced Rene, but it was all 
over.  Rene was left with just South America, and she 
conceded defeat.

	"Well," said Lauren, "you certainly have a poker 
face."

	"Thank you," said Janet.

	"Do you conquer the world on a regular basis?" 
asked Lauren.

	"Not since college.  But I haven't forgotten how."

	"Had I known that we had such a good player in our 
midst, I would have chosen something else," said 
Lauren.

	"This was quite nice," said Janet as she began to 
put away the game, "perhaps we should play again 
sometime."

	"Not against you," replied Carla, "you're quite a 
vicious player."

	"This is war, remember," said Janet, "the winner 
dominates the loser."

	"Bravo," cheered Rene, "and now you get the use of 
Myra."

	The four players and Lauren stood up from the 
table.  Lauren insisted on showing them through the 
house, pointing out the gifts that her affluent slaves 
had given her over the years.

	"Would you like to get dressed in something more 
fitting, Janet?  I'm sure that I can find something in 
leather that would fit.  I have such a large wardrobe, 
after all," offered Lauren.

	"Thank you," said Janet, accepting her offer.

	"You can go into my bedroom.  My slave Sabrina is 
busy now, so you'll have to get dressed yourself."

	"It's all right, I can manage," answered Janet.

	Having seen the bedroom already, Janet went by 
herself.  Lauren had went back to finish giving the 
rest of her guests the tour of the house.

	Janet opened Lauren's closet, which she had only 
glimpsed before, and walked inside.  Looking every bit 
as stocked as Erica's, Janet knew that she wouldn't 
have any problem finding something to wear.

	Twenty minutes later, she was dressed in a simple 
black leather bra, skirt, stockings, and high heels.  
Janet admired herself in the mirror, and was glad that 
they were nearly were the same size.  

	Walking carefully on the rug, Janet made her way 
downstairs.  All the doors to the Dungeon had been left 
open, so that she would have no trouble finding her way 
there.

	When she arrived in the Dungeon, she found Lauren, 
Tiffany, Rene, and Carla seated on whicker chairs 
shaped like thrones.  Sabrina was standing next to a 
bar cart, and two of the guests were holding glasses.

	But at the center of the room was Myra!  She was 
hanging from the ceiling by her wrists, which had been 
joined together.  Her legs were held open by a spreader 
bar that was locked to her ankle bracelets.  Her feet 
could barely touch the floor, so she swayed somewhat.  
Her body was strained, and Janet could see the ribs 
below her skin.

	Myra still wore the ballgag in her mouth, and 
Janet proceeded to walk around her.  Janet had not 
gotten a close look at her before, and she was 
distressed to find that the girl had just been recently 
used.  Fresh red stripes already decorated her flesh, 
and Janet wondered if she should be used again quite so 
soon.

	Walking back to her audience, she bowed, then 
stood in front of Rene.

	"May I have the use of your property?" asked 
Janet.

	"Of course.  You may use whatever means you 
desire," said Rene.

	Janet walked back over to Myra.  Her fingertips 
touched the girl's trembling skin, feeling the new 
welts as she traced their paths on her skin.  She could 
almost smell the fear that this girl radiated, bound in 
her prison of steel and leather.

	Janet slowly unbuckled the ballgag, and it had 
been tightened so that when removed the ball almost 
popped out of Myra's mouth and the strap left it's 
cruel imprint on the corners of her mouth.

	"Thank you, Mistress Janet," panted Myra.

	Janet continued inspecting the bound girl, and 
realizing that she had already been severely used 
already, would not impose a harsh discipline upon her.  
It seemed strange to her that Myra had been chosen, 
since her capacity for more punishment was already 
quite limited.  Janet saw a flogger with broad strands 
hanging nearby, and decided to use that.

	"Why so conservative, Janet?" asked Lauren.

	"Mistress?" 

	"Janet, she's yours to use.  Surely you can find 
something better than that flogger," advised Lauren.

	Lauren rose from her chair, walked over, and found 
a cat.  Made of many strands like the flogger, except 
that the tips of each one ended in a knot.  Janet knew 
that this would mark Myra and hurt with each stroke.

	"I'll try the whip, instead," chose Janet.

	"Good choice," said Lauren, handing her a slender 
coiled whip.

	"Do you, Myra, accept my discipline?" asked Janet, 
standing in front of her captive.

	"Yes, Mistress," said Myra.

	"Than kiss the handle, and thank me for what you 
are about to receive," ordered Janet.

	Myra did as she was instructed, and thanked Janet.  
Janet walked around her once more, trying to decide 
where she could use the whip on virgin flesh.  But Myra 
had already been used before.

	Janet lashed out, and the whip coiled itself 
around Myra's thighs.  The tip came to rest between her 
legs, making her flinch.

	"Thank you, Mistress," cried Myra.

	"No need to count," said Janet.

	Janet struck again and again, watching as her new 
strokes were made evident on Myra's body.  Her flesh 
gradually became red and warm, and Janet could almost 
feel the heat emanating from her punished figure.

	The whip landed again and again, and Janet would 
pause between sets of ten stokes.  She wanted to 
carefully gauge the effect of her discipline, and did 
not want to exceed Myra's capacity.

	"Are you a good girl, Myra?" asked Janet.

	"Yes, Mistress," answered Myra.

	"Let's see now," said Janet.

	Pausing in her use of Myra, Janet then proceeded 
to pinch Myra's nipples, then bite them slightly with 
her teeth, making her squeal with both pain and 
delight.  Then her hands rubbed the warm and punished 
flesh of Myra's bottom, separating the ass cheeks to 
glimpse the entry to her behind.

	Then Janet invaded her sex with just her index 
finger, and found that Myra was wet and excited by her 
ordeal.  Janet ordered her not to cum, but then 
proceeded to do everything possible to climax her.  
Myra held fast, but Janet noted the Goosebumps on her 
flesh.

	"Mistress, no," cried Myra.

	"Silence, slut," ordered Janet.

	Her audience sat in rapt attention, only breaking 
their interest when they signaled to Sabrina for a 
drink.  Janet did not do anything extra for them that 
she might have done in her own Dungeon.

	"Oh, oh!" cried Myra.

	"Don't cum!" cautioned Janet.

	In spite of her orders, Myra rocked in her chains 
as the massive orgasm overtook her.  She moaned and 
bucked, and the steel links reverberated in response.

	"Bad girl," said Janet.

	Janet again picked up the whip, delivering stroke 
after stroke that would wrap itself cruelly around 
Myra's body.  Each time, the tip would come to rest on 
her back or behind.  But it between her breasts and 
legs that Janet would aim the most strokes, making Myra 
cry and moan within her chains.

	Tears ran down Myra's cheeks as the whipping 
continued, streaking her makeup.  Janet continued her 
routine of ten strokes, then a pause to let the girl 
rest.  Janet was amazed that she could take so much, 
given that she had been already used rather recently.

	"Mercy, Mistress," cried Myra, suddenly, having 
reached her limit.

	"What was that, slave?" asked Janet as she paused 
before another stroke.

	"Mercy, Mistress," plead Myra.

	"Kiss my whip and thank your Mistress," ordered 
Janet.

	Myra did as she was told, and soon Janet was 
standing in front of her female audience.

	"The slave Myra has been soundly punished, and I 
thank..."

	"What do you think that you're doing?" asked 
Lauren, anger in her voice.

	"Slave Myra has called for mercy, and I accept her 
plea," correctly answered Janet.

	"Not in my house," said Lauren as she rose from 
her chair.

	Lauren was carrying a riding crop in her left 
hand, and she advanced towards Myra.  Myra shook her 
chains in fear.

	Lauren was about to deliver a stroke when Janet 
caught her arm and held it.  All eyes were upon her.

	"The girl has been soundly used.  The 
entertainment is done for this evening," said Janet.

	"It has not.  You're not in your House, Janet, nor 
Stephanie's.  My rules apply here, and I say that we're 
not done with Myra just yet.  Perhaps a few strokes of 
the cane will bring her around."

	"No!" replied Janet, "you gave her to me for the 
night.  Since she is mine, I say that her discipline is 
over.  By every rule of conduct," said Janet.

	"Not here, bitch," said Lauren.

	"I repeat, Myra has called for mercy and her 
discipline is over," said Janet.

	"Then if you will not let me punish her again, 
then you can take it in her place.  Surely the great 
Mistress Janet is capable of accepting discipline in 
place of a lowly slave," insulted Lauren.

	Suddenly time seemed to stop, and the entire 
universe revolved around Janet and the Dungeon.  Just a 
few days before, she had used Tina in hers, and even 
though she had placed the girl in real distress, Tina 
had not been punished like Myra had been now.

	Janet looked at Myra's wracked form, and realized 
that the girl had been correct in calling Mercy, and 
should not be whipped any more.  Could Janet take her 
place, for a girl that she didn't even own?  Once 
before, at the very beginning of her training with 
Erica, she had taken Tiffany's discipline.  Janet had 
vowed never to do so again.  But this was very 
different!

	Janet had fantasized that she would one day ask 
her friend Stephanie to do a scene with her, so that 
she might know again the feel of the lash.  But to let 
Lauren be her tormentor, who Stephanie had warned her 
so much about!

	"Well, Mistress Janet, do you accept?" demanded 
Lauren, holding her crop.

	"Yes.  Yes, I'll do it.  Because you're such a 
bitch," insulted Janet.

	Lauren went to strike Janet with her hand, but 
held back.

	"Why should I strike you when I can use the whip 
instead?" asked Lauren. "Now strip!  Sabrina, attend 
me, please," ordered the Mistress.

	Janet coiled her whip and placed it on a table 
where she had removed it.  She watched as Lauren 
ordered Sabrina to let Myra down from her imprisonment, 
then Janet slowly removed her few articles of clothing.  
She placed those on the table next to the whips and 
other articles of the Dungeon.

	Soon, she was naked and bare.  She shivered, even 
though the Dungeon was quite warm.  She walked slowly, 
her eyes downcast, towards Lauren.  The Mistress was 
standing next to Sabrina, who was helping Myra.

	Janet sank to her knees in front of Lauren.  She 
kept her legs open, so that she was available for 
whatever the Mistress might desire of her.  It had been 
months since any woman had used the whip on her, and 
Janet longed for Erica.

	"That's better.  Janet, do you accept discipline 
in place of Myra, property of Rene?" asked Lauren.

	"Yes, Mistress."

	Janet felt the sting of a riding crop across her 
back.

	"Yes, Mistress Lauren," cried Janet.

	"That's better.  Sabrina; outfit her in collar and 
bracelets.  We'll see what this poseur is really made 
of," ordered Lauren.

	Janet sat silently as a collar was measured and 
locked around her neck.  Her wrists and ankles were 
soon locked in steel and leather, and she was finally 
attired like that of a slave one again.

	Lauren had changed into a leather dress, and her 
guests, including Tiffany, still sat in their chairs.  
Before, it had Myra who had been the entertainment.  
Now it would be Janet's turn.

	"Up, slave," ordered Lauren.

	Janet watched as Sabrina had led Myra away, 
hopefully to get cleaned up and rested.  The girl 
needed some relief from her torment, not any additional 
punishment!

	Janet stood impassively as her wrists were locked 
above her head.  Sabrina had returned, and it was her 
job to secure Janet's ankles to a spreader bar.  Soon, 
Janet found herself in the same position as Myra 
before.

	"I think that the only instrument to use is the 
one that was used on Myra," observed Lauren.

	Lauren procured the whip, snapping it in the air 
for all to see.  The whip cracked with deadly effect 
like a gunshot in the Dungeon.

	"Are you ready, slave?" asked Lauren.

	"Yes, Mistress Lauren.  Please discipline me in 
place of Myra?" asked Janet.

	"Kiss the handle," bluntly ordered Lauren, ice in 
her voice.

	Janet did as she was ordered.  She tensed as 
Lauren coiled the whip, afraid for herself in a way 
that she had never been with either Erica or Stephanie.

	"Owwww!" cried Janet.

	"Owwww!" 

	"Owwww!"

	The slender black leather whip, supple and 
sinuous, was cracked like a gunshot.  It wrapped itself 
around Janet the tip coming to rest with a force that 
Janet had forgotten.

	"Now Janet, we'll just see who's the better 
Mistress, or slave.  You said earlier about someone 
being in control.  Now that's me in control over you.  
As it should be.  Enjoy your punishment, slave."

	"Owwww!"

	"Owwww!"

	No matter how many times the whip wrapped itself 
her, Janet refused to either cry for mercy or to 
acknowledge Lauren's will over her.  She flinched and 
pulled in her stomach every time the whip landed there 
or between her legs.  Lauren wanted to mark her skin, 
and used the thin whip with deadly effectiveness again 
and again.

	Janet felt her skin slowly heat up as the blood 
flowed to the surface in an attempt to cool off her 
overheated body.  Her sweat ran down her armpits and 
between her breasts, and down her exposed flanks.

	"Owwww!"

	"Owwww!" 

	"Owwww!"

	Janet counted another series of ten strokes, her 
pained shoulders and wrists bearing her weight as she 
swung from the ceiling.  It seemed as if the universe 
had shrunk to just two people, just Lauren and herself.  
There was nothing else except for the universe of pain 
as the whip landed once again.

	She knew that tears were now flowing, and she 
could taste their saltiness as they sometimes ran into 
her mouth.  Janet had never been brought this far, 
either by Erica or Stephanie.

	"Had enough, slave?" asked Lauren.

	"No, Mistress Lauren," answered Janet.

	"Good.  Then I'll see what else I have in my 
toybox."

	Janet was glad for the temporary respite.  Even 
though she knew that Lauren was going to use something 
else on her, even a few seconds without the whip was 
precious.

	Lauren returned with a riding crop with a special 
broad tip.  She flexed it with her fingers, showing its 
stiffness.

	"Ready?" asked Lauren.

	"Yes, Mistress Lauren."

	Lauren first struck at her tender breasts, making 
Janet cry out.  Then she used it on her behind, making 
her recoil in pain.  But Janet knew that Lauren was 
only warming up, that she was pacing Janet's ability to 
absorb the lash.

	"Kiss the crop," ordered Lauren.

	"Thank you, Mistress Lauren," repeated Janet as 
obeyed Lauren's orders.

	The final use of the crop was between Janet's 
legs, on the inside of her thighs.  Janet moaned and 
strained as the crop was struck from side to side like 
a metronome between her legs.  Sometimes, the crop 
would strike her sex, making her cry out even more.  
But Janet held her plea for mercy, digging her nails 
into her moist palms.

	"You are quite remarkable," said Lauren, "for 
someone who hasn't been trained by me.  Therefore, I 
shall put you to the final test.  I shall whip you 
again until I draw blood."

	Janet's head rose in shock, just in time for 
Lauren to force a ballgag between her lips and buckle 
it tight.

	"Mmmmmph," cried Janet.

	"The time that you could have called for mercy is 
over," said Lauren, "now you shall feel the full force 
of my lash."

	Suddenly, Janet remembered the warning that 
Mistress Erica had given her over one year ago when she 
had been disciplined for the first time as a new slave.  
That she should never submit to a Mistress who did not 
recognize the concept of a safeword.  Even though her 
body was already warmed up by the harsh punishment that 
she had already received, her blood suddenly ran cold 
in her veins from fear.

	When the whip struck again, it was like an 
explosive force going off onto her skin.  Waves and 
waves of pain shot through her entire body, and it 
didn't matter where the whip landed.  Each stroke was 
like a crack of doom against her naked flesh.

	But it was her back where the whip expended its 
full force.  Janet vainly tried to avoid the whip as it 
struck her back repeatedly.  Finally the universe 
blacked out, as she fell into a bottomless pit of 
darkness.
	*		*			*			*	
	*
	"Mistress Janet?"

	The tender voice was one that Janet didn't 
recognize.  It was calling her name, or was it?

	"Mistress Janet, please wake up?"

	"Where am I?" groggily asked Janet.

	She was lying naked face down on a bed, and two 
women were attending to her back, which she couldn't 
feel.

	"You're in Lauren's house, remember.  You took the 
punishment in my place, remember?  I'm Myra," said the 
girl.

	"Myra," repeated Janet.

	The name brought back the memory of the early 
evening, a game, Rene's slave.

	"Owwww!" cried Janet, when feeling suddenly 
returned to her back.

	"I've stopped the bleeding, but only temporarily," 
said Sabrina, "but she has to see a doctor before those 
wounds open up again."

	"Bring my purse," cried Janet still dazed from the 
punishment she had endured.

	One of the girls brought Janet her purse, and she 
removed the cell phone, spots dancing before her eyes.  
Janet punched in the memory number for Stephanie, then 
was glad when she heard a familiar voice on the other 
end.

	"Janet?" asked Stephanie.

	"Stephanie, bring your doctors bag to my house 
right away, and anything else that you can carry."

	"What's happened?"

	"I've been badly hurt," cried Janet.

	"What!"

	"Can't talk now, see you soon," Janet answered as 
she cut the connection.

	Janet stood up, and the two girls helped her put 
her panties and shoes on, leaving off her bra.  Janet 
felt the presence of bandages and tape on her back.   
They then helped to button her blouse, and skirt.  

	"Where's Tiffany?" asked Janet.

	"Gone.  They're all gone.  You have to drive 
yourself home," said Myra.

	Janet felt like she would pass out, but the two 
slaves held her.  Lauren's slaves.  They helped her 
outside, and got the keys from her purse.  Dawn was 
breaking.  Had she really been there the entire night?  
The cold air suddenly made her alert and awake, at 
least temporarily.

	When she was seated behind the wheel, Myra opened 
the window before closing the door.  She looked at the 
pained Mistress.

	"Mistress Janet, thank you for accepting my 
punishment.  You're a different sort of Mistress than 
Lauren and her friends, and I'd love to be your slave."

	"Thank you," chattered Janet.

	"Just make it home, please?"

	Janet started the car, put it in drive, and swung 
around the fountain.  The gate opened, and she drove 
out into the cold and deserted streets.  Dazed, 
confused, on the verge of blacking out several times, 
it seemed like the drive took several hours.

	Once she even passed an accident scene, complete 
with ambulance and EMTs.  Janet wished that she could 
pull over.

	Finally, she saw the gates to her house.  She 
punched the button, and the gates opened.  She followed 
the driveway to the door, and turned the ignition off.  
Her head swimming, she walked up the steps, her 
consciousness fading in and out.

	The door opened, and the bright lights dazzled 
Janet as she went inside her own house.  What was the 
name of the person now before her?

	"Mistress Janet?" asked the girl, "let me take 
your coat."

	When her coat was removed, it peeled away from the 
back of her blouse with a liquid sound as the fabrics 
separated.  Looking sideways at the mirror in the 
foyer, she saw that the back of her blouse was soaked 
through with her own red blood. 

	"Stephanie!" cried Tina, "Stephanie!"

	Janet fell into the abyss, her head swaying and 
the welcoming darkness swallowing her.
	*			*			*			*	
	*
	"Janet?" asked a soothing voice, "Janet?"

	"Mommy?"

	"What's wrong?" asked a female voice.

	"Mommy, it hurts," cried Janet.

	"She's delirious, with a fever at 105.  If it 
doesn't break soon, we'll have to take her to the 
hospital. Tina, hold her hand.  Janet needs to feel 
that there's someone nearby who cares for her right 
now," said another voice.

	Tina pulled a chair to the bedside and after 
seating herself, she held Janet's right hand.

	"Why is she asking for her mother?"

	"That's the first person that someone will ask for 
when very sick or horribly injured.  You should have 
heard the adults crying for their mother in the trauma 
ward I interned in."

	"Mommy?" asked Janet.  

	"No, it's Stephanie.  Remember?"

	Janet climbed slowly back to consciousness.  She 
was in a bedroom, and there were three women present.  
She didn't know any of them.

	"Who are you?" asked Janet.

	"Your friend, Stephanie.  Don't you remember that 
you called me?  This is Camille, and your Maid, Tina.  
Do you know us?"

	Janet searched her mind, yes.  The names came back 
now.  Their faces were familiar.  A cup and straw were 
passed to her, and she drank a few sips before going 
back to sleep.

	Light.  Again, Janet opened her eyes, and saw 
three people standing over her.  Janet wavered in and 
out of consciousness, her vision blurred and out of 
focus.

	"Janet?"
	
	"Yes.  Do you remember the last time we spoke?"

	"No. Thirsty."

	The cup was passed to her again, and she heard the 
others talking.  Something about fever and delirium, 
before she fell asleep once more.

	Light.  When she opened her eyes again, things in 
the room resolved themselves.  She identified the bed 
she was lying on, a mirror, a dresser that was covered 
in bottles, and things attached to her.  The regular 
rhythm of a heart monitor and the tubes of an IV were 
her constant companions.

	"Stephanie," called Janet.

	"Janet, you're back, the fever broke!" said 
Stephanie, tears in her eyes.

	Janet saw Stephanie standing over her, with Tina, 
her eyes streaked with tears, sitting on a chair next 
to her bedside.  Tina was holding her hand, stroking it 
like it was a lover's.

	"Tina?" asked Janet.

	"She's been here ever since you got home, at your 
side," said Stephanie.

	"Thank you, Tina," Janet said weakly.

	"What happened?" asked Stephanie.

	"Party at Lauren's.  I was punishing Myra, one of 
Lauren's girls, I think.  She asked for mercy, Lauren 
wanted to continue.  I took her place.  She used me 
badly, said that I would call for mercy.  I never did.  
She wanted me to bleed.  I drove home, and that's all I 
remember."

	"Why did you go?  She hated Erica, and me.  She's 
taken over Tiffany, who popped in here once or twice to 
see you before leaving.  I should kill them both," said 
Stephanie.

	"Thirsty."

	Janet was passed a cup, and she sipped at the 
straw.

	"How bad?"

	"You were delirious for days, with a high fever. I 
was afraid that I was going to lose you, you might have 
died.  You lost a lot of blood, but you'll be all 
right.  I had this equipment brought over, and called 
in a few favors," said Stephanie.

	"I asked to be punished.  There isn't anything 
that we can do to Lauren," said Janet.

	"Why didn't you call me first?" asked Stephanie.

	"Don't remember."

	"Don't tax yourself.  Let's get some broth into 
you, and then more sleep.  That's the best thing for 
you," said Stephanie.

	After a cup of beef broth, Janet again slept.  She 
dreamt of the lash, and the crop.  Several times she 
awakened to see Stephanie standing over her.  Then she 
fell asleep again.

	First the heart monitor was removed, then the IV 
tubes.  Janet realized that she had been lying on the 
bed clothed in a hospital gown, face down.  Her back 
was covered in an entire bandage, which was changed 
twice daily.  Either Camille or Tina would be with her 
constantly, holding her hand.

	Then she was stood up and made to walk.  Soon, she 
was eating simple foods from a tray, but she still 
slept on her stomach.  A few times, Tiffany would 
visit, but Janet pretended to be sleeping.

	"Stephanie?" asked Janet.

	"Yes?"

	"Why did you quit being a doctor?" asked Janet.

	"Because I blame doctors for killing the two most 
important people in my life.  My brother, and my 
husband.  I retired, but I still keep certified.  Even 
do some charity work.  But I'll never practice again."

	Janet again slept.

	The loud voices came from next door, and Janet 
could make out the words.

	"Lauren nearly killed her.  What were you doing?"

	"She accepted to take Myra's place.  She knew what 
kind of person Lauren is."

	"What was she doing there?"

	"There was a party.  I took her.  She should have 
refused."

	"This is all your doing, Tiffany.  I never knew 
that you were capable of such evil, but since you 
associate with Lauren, I'm not surprised."

	Darkness returned to Janet as she again slept.

	Janet walked out of the bedroom, a victory.  A 
physical therapist was called in, and Janet's muscles 
were exercised.  Gradually, she recovered.

	One day, Janet pretended to sleep on the bed.  She 
was on her stomach as usual, and she could be left 
alone for brief periods.  Tina had resumed her duties, 
and Tiffany would be absent as long as Stephanie was 
caring for Janet.

	"Aren't you forgetting something, Mistress?" asked 
Camille.

	"What's that?"

	"Janet's state of mind," bluntly stated Camille.

	"Don't exceed your authority," angrily replied 
Stephanie, "and forget that you're my Maid."

	"Maid and Nurse, you mean.  Just because you sewed 
up Janet's back doesn't mean that her mind will be 
healed also."

	"I should strike you for that, Camille," Stephanie 
answered.

	"Unless you're a psychologist also, I suggest that 
you call one in."

	"Are you now a doctor also?" asked Stephanie.

	"No.  You may have repaired her bodily wounds.  
But the experience of being nearly whipped to death by 
Lauren will leave wounds in her psyche."

	"You're an insolent, insulting little slave today, 
Camille.  Unfortunately, you're also right," sighed 
Stephanie, "I just hope that Janet can recover."

	Janet closed her hands into fists, her fingers 
tightly clenched together.  Her nails dug into her 
palms, leaving red marks with their imprints.  Even 
though she had been pretending to sleep, tears formed 
in her eyes and wet the pillow.  

	'Why do I want to die?' Janet cried silently to 
herself.
	*		*			*			*		
	*
	The days after her nightmare encounter with 
Mistress Lauren stretched into weeks.  Stephanie 
attended to Janet, and the bandages on her back got 
steadily smaller as her flesh slowly healed from being 
damaged by the whip.

	"Janet," began Stephanie, "I'm sorry."

	"About what?" asked Janet.

	"Your back.  I thought that it would heal, but it 
didn't.  You're going to be scarred by what Lauren did 
to you.  I tried everything that I could.  But the skin 
was too heavily damaged.  Perhaps I should have taken 
you to the hospital after all."

	"And what would have happened when the police 
would have started asking questions?  Explain that I 
was the entertainment at a little S&M party?  No doctor 
would have remained silent about my injuries after 
you'd have brought me in.  My life as a Mistress would 
have been over."

	"Then look at yourself," said Stephanie.

	Janet rose from the bed and stood in front of the 
bedroom mirror, while Stephanie undid the ties at the 
back of Janet's gown.  It fell to the floor, and 
Stephanie held a mirror near Janet's back so she could 
see.  Janet saw the reflection of her own back in the 
large mirror.

	Where once Janet's back was smooth and pretty, now 
the skin was an angry red color.  The flesh was torn 
and uneven and had not healed properly.  Anyone who saw 
her back would know that she had been abused horribly 
in some manner.

	"Thank you, Stephanie," said Janet, her voice 
breaking with tension.

	Stephanie caught Janet as she fell to the bed, 
naked and sobbing.  She held and soothed her friend, 
encouraging her to cry out all of her feelings.

	"There now," said Stephanie. "It's all right.  I'm 
here."

	"It hurt so much! The pain!"

	Tears fell from her eyes and ran down her cheeks 
as the memory of what had happened to her replayed 
itself in her mind.  Every stroke of the whip had been 
like a gunshot exploding against her back, and she felt 
as her skin broke and blood dripped down her naked 
skin.  She had actually felt her own blood seep between 
her buttocks and run down her legs.

	"Cry it out Janet," soothed Stephanie, "don't 
repress your feelings.  I'll always be here for you."

	"It didn't stop!  It just went on and on!" Janet 
sobbed, her body wracked by emotions long repressed.

	Stephanie held Janet tightly in her arms, rocking 
Janet as if she were a child.

	"It's all right to cry.  No Mistress or slave 
should have had to endure what you did, that isn't what 
being a Mistress is about.  We're not here to kill or 
maim."

	"I wanted to die!" cried Janet.

	"It's all right, Janet.  Everything's all right, 
now," soothed Stephanie as she clutched Janet tightly 
to herself, as Janet continued to cry.

	The memory of what she had undergone replayed 
itself in her mind.  Janet remembered each stroke of 
the whip as it struck her back.  Her skin breaking and 
bleeding, the liquid sound the whip made each time it 
struck the slick surface that her back had become.  The 
tears that fell from her eyes as the pain became 
steadily unbearable.  Desperately she tried to scream 
and plead for mercy, but the rubber ball buckled 
between her lips blocked her cries.  Finally, the 
welcoming darkness that she hoped was death, which 
would release her from the pain, and the leering face 
of Mistress Lauren.

	"I wanted to die!" repeated Janet, tears streaming 
down her cheeks.

	"It's all over now, Janet," said Stephanie as she 
clutched Janet tightly to herself.

	Janet curled up in Stephanie's arms, tears flowing 
from her eyes.  She cried for hours, and Stephanie held 
onto Janet, not moving, for most of the day.
	*			*			*			*
	Janet walked with Stephanie through the Dungeon.  
She looked at the chains, the whips, and the other 
things.  She placed a collar around her neck, but 
didn't lock it shut.  Janet shivered when she saw the 
whip.

	"There is a big difference between discipline and 
being stopped with a safeword, and outright sadism 
which is what Lauren practices.  Just remember than 
Erica never treated you or anyone else like that."

	"Yes, I remember."

	"Do you want to be a Mistress again?"

	"Yes," said Janet firmly, "yes."

	"That's your destiny, you know.  That's why Erica 
gave you her estate and her property.  You can start 
with Tina, your slave.  Or me, if you'd like."

	"Thanks," said Janet, as she held a riding crop in 
her hands.   
	*				*			*		
	*
	Janet stood in the Dungeon, wearing a simple 
leather bra, skirt, and shoes.  Tina was bound over a 
horse, her behind sticking up in the air.  Stephanie, 
wearing a leather dress, was also in the room, 
watching.

	Janet selected a leather paddle, and approached 
Tina.  She displayed the instrument to Tina, who kissed 
it when offered.

	The first sounds of the paddle echoed through the 
Dungeon as Janet started to discipline Tina with ever 
more firm strokes.  Her arm picked up a rhythm as the 
paddle impacted on Tina's upraised bottom.

	But Janet imagined that it was Tiffany, not Tina 
that was being paddled.  Janet knew that Tiffany was 
spending the day with Lauren, and that made her blood 
boil with anger.  During Janet's slow recovery, Tiffany 
had been steadily spending more time with Lauren.  
Janet suspected that whatever feelings they shared 
together were now past, and Tiffany was now truly her 
rival.

	Briefly, she paused.  Stephanie came rushing over 
to her side.

	"Is anything wrong?" asked Stephanie.

	"Yes.  How's the stock market?"

	"What?" asked Stephanie, puzzled by her friend's 
question.

"Janet in Training" by sfmaster@worldnet.att.net
Chapter Ten: The Recovery

	It had been months since Janet had traveled to New 
York.  For someone who had grown up in NY and spent 
their entire life in the shadows of Manhattan's 
skyscrapers, Janet missed the city greatly.  But now, 
on board the Metro-North train, she wondered if coming 
into the city had been a good idea after all.

	In her purse were the things that she had 
collected.  That Erica owned stock in her former 
employer's company.  The empty envelope that Janet had 
found from her employer to Erica.  The letter that she 
had found in Erica's computer directing them to fire 
Janet upon her return to work.  Most important of all 
was the document outlining the contest for Erica's 
legacy between Janet and Tiffany.

	Janet had planned to confront Blanca with all of 
this, and question whether or not Mistress Erica and 
Andrea were indeed dead from the plane crash.  But 
Janet realized that it didn't matter after all.  
Accusing Blanca wouldn't produce Erica, nor change 
anything.

	Dramatic confrontations like that happened in the 
movies, not in reality.  When the train pulled to a 
stop, she walked outside in the spring weather and 
hailed a cab.  Once inside, she gave the directions to 
Blanca's office.  Janet sat back against the seat, and 
thought how wonderful it was that the skin on her back 
no longer hurt.

	It had been a nightmarish last three months, as 
she recovered from the severe beating that she had 
received at the hands of Mistress Lauren.  Janet only 
remembered fragments of what had occurred, and they had 
been horrifying.  Punishing a girl beyond her 
endurance.  Then taking her place and being whipped 
until Janet's back was covered in blood.  The ride 
home, and collapsing into fever and delirium.  Finally, 
her long recovery assisted by Stephanie, Camille, and 
Tina.

	Janet's back bore the scars from the terrible 
punishment that it had received.  Stephanie had taken 
her to a plastic surgeon that said that they could be 
easily fixed, and did not question their origin.

	"No, Stephanie.  I'm not going to have my back 
operated on," Janet said in the car as they drove away 
from the doctor's office.

	"But why?" asked Stephanie. "It's a terrible 
reminder of what happened."

	"That's exactly why I want to keep those scars.  
To remind me of Lauren, and the monster that Tiffany 
has become by associating with her," answered Janet.

	"You're crazy."

	"Perhaps.  Those scars are the stigmata of 
Lauren's evil and will always remind me of the 
responsibility that we have in our position as 
Dominants.  That's why I want to keep them," said 
Janet.

	When the cab pulled in front of Blanca's office, 
Janet realized that she was even more scared than the 
day Erica had died.  She paid the driver, and went 
inside.  God, it had been so long!  Squeezing inside an 
elevator, she realized just how long it had been since 
she had last been inside one.

	The receptionist was the same, and Janet was soon 
ushered into Blanca's office.  She sat down, and waited 
a few minutes for her attorney to join her.

	"Good morning," greeted Blanca, "sorry I'm a 
little late."

	"That's fine," said Janet. "I'm a little dazed at 
being back in the city again."

	"Coffee?"

	"Black."

	After removing her coat, Blanca sat down and 
punched a button on her intercom.

	"Georgie, please get us two black coffees," said 
Blanca.

	Georgie appeared, and Janet noticed that she was 
an attractive secretary in her late twenties.  She wore 
a conservative business suit, and placed the tray down 
on Blanca's desk.

	"Thanks, Georgie.  Please see that we're not 
disturbed," ordered Blanca.

	Once Georgie had closed the doors, Janet had a 
burning question to ask.

	"Is she one of yours?" asked Janet.

	"No.  It's a little too messy to have a slave at 
work.  She's getting married, I think.  But you didn't 
come all the way from Greenwich to ask me about that, 
now did you?" questioned Blanca.

	"No.  Ever since Erica's death, I've had the 
feeling that this entire scene has been arranged.  And 
you're in on it."

	"Really," said Blanca as she sat back in her 
leather chair.

	"Here," said Janet, as she handed over the paper 
detailing the contest, the envelope, and the printed 
letter.

	"Nice collection," said Blanca.

	"Erica was a little careless with her computer.  
Just because you think you've deleted something doesn't 
mean it's really gone until it's written over.  Why 
would Erica want me fired from my job unless she wanted 
me to concentrate on something else?  Like her little 
contest?"

	"Circumstantial evidence that wouldn't hold up in 
a court of law.  Erica wanted you to enjoy your new 
life.  Shouldn't you be down on Wall Street instead of 
here?  That's where your future is going to be decided, 
not here with me.  Besides, you've lost a lot of time, 
didn't you?"

	"How did you hear about that?" demanded Janet.

	"I have my sources.  It isn't every day that a 
novice Mistress makes a fool of Lauren and takes 
whatever punishment she can mete out," answered Blanca.

	"You forget that I could have passed out going 
home and killed myself.  If it hadn't been for 
Stephanie."

	"Yes, Stephanie.  So you're here for the fourth 
quarter, like football.  Like I said, you better get to 
Wall Street.  That is, if you don't want to end up in 
Tiffany's Dungeon with Lauren holding the whip.  Did 
you hear the news this morning?" asked Blanca.

	"No, why?" asked Janet.

	"Because the market sank over four hundred points 
at the opening, or don't you follow the financial 
news?" asked Blanca.

	"Oh, god," answered Janet.

	Janet left Blanca's office in a daze, after 
stuffing her evidence back into her purse.  Inside the 
lobby of her building was an electronic board, courtesy 
of a financial firm.  Janet stood in front, watching 
the financial bad news scroll across the computer 
screen.  Some of the stocks mentioned were the exact 
ones that she had holdings in.

	It had taken her three precious months of recovery 
to get the strength to come into NY and see Blanca.  
Blanca had taken only seconds to destroy her.  Janet 
walked, stunned, out of the building into the spring 
weather.  Since it had rained heavily the night before, 
the city smelled clean.

	Janet had originally decided that she would use 
the day for some fun.  After seeing Blanca, she had 
planned to go into the fetish shops downtown.  Now she 
felt like going home.  But why?  To sulk and get more 
depressed?  Janet hailed a cab, and directed the driver 
to the Village.

	Walking around the Village was always a treat, and 
Janet wished that she could have lived here.  Instead, 
she had always played tourist.  She walked the steps 
down to a fetish shop, and pressed the buzzer.  The 
door opened, and she went inside.

	The wonderful smell of the new leather and rubber 
excited her, and reminded Janet of her closet.  Erica's 
closet.   She looked at all the new garments, and 
decided to try on a new black rubber dress.  She went 
into the changing room and soon wore the new dress, 
which clung to her every curve.  Even though Erica had 
a similar dress in the closet, Janet resolved to buy it 
anyway.  She stepped outside to see herself in the 
full-length mirror.

	When the clerk went to compliment her on her 
choice, the girl gasped when she saw the scars on her 
back.  Janet saw her reflection in the mirror.

	"It's all right," said Janet, as she faced the 
girl.

	"They're horrible.  They must have hurt terribly," 
she said.

	"They did.  My back was opened up by a vicious 
Mistress who doesn't believe in safewords," said Janet.

	"Do you belong to her?"

	"No.  I'm a Mistress in my own house."

	"But why?"

	"To prevent her from further punishing a girl that 
had called for mercy, that's why."

	The girl looked shocked and surprised.  Janet 
wondered if she would always have to explain and relive 
her horrible experience.  She bought the dress, and was 
preparing to leave when the clerk buzzed another 
customer inside.

	"Janet?"

	Janet turned around, looking at the source of the 
voice.

	"Sally?"

	Janet dropped her bag, and embraced her friend.  
They kissed, and hugged.  It had been months since they 
had seen one another.

	"How are you doing?" asked Sally.

	"Fine."

	"How would you like to go to lunch?  I'm meeting a 
friend for sushi, and I'm sure you'd like her."

	"Okay," said Janet.

	They walked outside, enjoying the sounds of 
Manhattan.  Even though it was a workday, the city was 
still full of attractive women, all nicely dressed.

	"How do you like replacing Erica?" suddenly asked 
Sally.

	"Fine.  I'm still learning my way around.  How 
come you haven't called me?"

	"I thought that you'd be too busy," answered 
Sally.

	"You're the one who introduced me to this 
lifestyle, remember?  I never thought that I'd be first 
slave, then Mistress, so soon," confided Janet.

	"That's true.  And I'm just a lowly slave," said 
Sally, softly.

	The restaurant was entered through a long 
passageway, and Sally found that her friend Melissa was 
already there.  She was seated in the bar waiting, 
having sake.  She embraced Sally, and they all sat down 
together.

	"I'd like to introduce my friend Janet," said 
Sally.

	"Janet, the one that I've heard so much about?" 
asked Melissa.

	"Yes, unless Sally has another friend with my 
name," answered Janet.

	"Pleased to meet you," she said, holding her hand 
out.  Janet took it, and shook her hand in return.

	"Did Sally introduce me?" asked Melissa.

	"No, not before now," answered Janet, before she 
took another sip of sake.

	"I'm her Mistress," said Melissa.

	"Oh," politely answered Janet, the truth dawning 
on her.

	They had lunch of sake, sushi, and fried tempura.  
The restaurant was mostly empty, so they had the place 
mostly to themselves.  Seated in a corner, they were 
able to have some privacy, which allowed them to 
discuss some rather personal matters.

	"I understand that you've inherited Erica Riken's 
estate?" asked Melissa.

	"Yes."

	"She was one of the best Doms, ever."

	"I know, I trained under her," answered Janet.

	"Really, Dom or Sub?"

	"Sub.  I was her slave for a year.  But I'm 
Mistress now."

	"Great.  And you just met Sally here, shopping?"

	"Yes.  Thought I'd come into the city for a little 
shopping, and I found this rubber dress," said Janet.

	"Nice.  I had told Sally here to meet me for 
lunch, and then we'd go shopping for a few toys also.  
But perhaps you'd be interested in something else," 
offered Sally.

	"Go ahead," said Janet, eating the last of her 
tempura.

	"My friend Tyler has a loft not far from here, 
with her complete collection of toys.  We could do a 
little scene together, and we've already got Sally 
here.  Isn't that right?" asked Melissa of Sally.

	"Yes, Mistress," answered Sally.

	"When was the last time we did a scene?" asked 
Melissa.

	"Last week, Mistress."

	"Then I'd say that we're overdue, hmm?"

	"Yes, Mistress."

	"Interested, Janet?"

	While doing a scene was the last thing that Janet 
had wanted to do. The visit to the fetish shops and 
lunch had brightened her spirits.  Erica's mansion may 
have been a Dungeon for her girls, but it was also a 
prison for her Mistress as well.

	"Why not?" said Janet.

	The three of them piled into a cab after lunch, 
for the short ride to Melissa's friend's place.  After 
paying for the cab, they walked outside an old factory 
building until they found the door.  Melissa hit the 
buzzer, and they were admitted.  The elevator was new, 
indeed the whole building was no longer a factory but 
an attractive place to live.

	Tyler opened the door, an attractive girl with 
black hair, and a slim figure.  She had been working 
out on exercise equipment, and was wearing a sports 
bra, and exercise shorts, plus sneakers.

	"Pleased to meet you," greeted Tyler, extending 
her hand.

	"Mutual," said Janet.

	Janet followed her host to the living room.  The 
place had been laid out like a regular apartment, not 
like the open spaces in lofts when artists fist got 
them in the 60s.  Space was at a premium in Manhattan.

	"Can I offer you a soda, or iced tea?"

	"Tea," said Melissa, as she sat down at the couch.

	"Be right back," said Tyler.

	Janet walked around the living room, looking at 
the paintings and artwork.  She had never once asked 
what the things in Erica's place were worth.  It had 
simply never occurred to her to ask Blanca.  After 
having been destroyed by Blanca in just a few minutes, 
she wasn't eager to see her again.  Except that in 
three months would be the anniversary of Erica's death 
and the conclusion of her contest that would decide who 
was Mistress.

	Tyler reappeared with a tray, which she placed on 
the table.  There was a pitcher full of iced tea, and 
four glasses filled with ice.  She poured and filled 
each one.

	Janet seated herself amongst her three female 
companions, and sipped her drink.  She looked at all 
three, and realized that they weren't part of her world 
in Connecticut.  No, this was Manhattan, and a 
different scene than the one she had inherited.

	"Melissa says that you're a Dom," said Tyler.

	"Yes.  I've been lucky, I inherited Erica Riken's 
estate."

	"She came into the city a few times.  Quite 
impressive," commented Melissa.

	"I introduced her," said Sally.

	"Pity you didn't introduce her to me," said 
Melissa.

	"I didn't know you then."

	"Then what?"

	"Then, Mistress," answered Sally.

	"Better, Sally.  Perhaps a few more strokes with 
the whip, and you'll finally get it right.  Correct, 
Janet?"

	"Yes," answered Janet.

	"Now then, what shall we do?" asked Melissa.

	"Whatever Mistress desires," answered Tyler.

	"Since Janet is our guest here, perhaps you should 
show her your marks," ordered Melissa.

	"Yes, Mistress," answered Tyler.

	Tyler stood up from her seat, and unlaced her 
sneakers.  Then she removed her socks, and peeled off 
her sports bra, and shorts.  They lay in a pile on the 
floor.  She stood naked, her eyes bowed before her 
Mistress.

	Her body was tight and muscular.  Janet saw the 
hard muscles ripple beneath her skin, and knew that she 
was one tough girl.  However, her skin also bore the 
marks of a slave, and Janet could see the marks of the 
whip and crop.  Also, both of her nipples were pierced 
with small golden rings.

	"May I?" asked Janet.

	"Of course," answered Melissa.

	Janet felt Tyler's shoulders, breasts, and belly.  
She ordered the girl to raise her arms, and felt below 
her armpits.  Then she ordered her to bend over a 
table, and spread her ass to look at her anus.  
Finally, she fondled and penetrated her sex, making her 
moan with excitement.

	"Silence, slave," ordered Janet.

	Tyler remained silent for the rest of her 
examination.  Janet felt energized by the sudden turn 
of events.  Just a couple of hours before, she had been 
down in the dumps.  Now here she was, in control of 
someone else's slave.  It felt good again, and her 
heart beat strongly.

	"Would you like to use her?" asked Melissa.

	"Yes, thank you?" answered Janet.

	"I'm sure that you can manage without a Dungeon, 
can't you?" questioned Melissa.

	"I think I can manage."

	"Good.  There are two bedrooms here.  You can be 
alone with Tyler, and I'll use Sally here.  She's such 
an insolent little slut lately."

	"Thank you," said Janet.

	"Ask Tyler where I keep my little collection.  I'm 
sure that the two of you have a lot to discuss," said 
Melissa as she led Sally to one of the bedrooms, and 
closed the door.

	Janet was suddenly alone with Tyler, who was still 
bent over a table.  Tyler remained silent, as her 
temporary Mistress had not asked her a question.

	"Tyler, where are Mistress Melissa's toys?" asked 
Janet.

	"In the bottom of the china cabinet, Mistress," 
answered Tyler.

	Janet walked over to the trendy looking china 
cabinet, and when she opened the bottom drawer, she 
found a nice little collection.  There were handcuffs, 
bracelets, two riding crops, some gags, and a small 
whip and flogger.  Not a bad little collection!

	Janet grabbed a few objects, and led Tyler to the 
other bedroom.  She could hear slaps and cries from 
behind the other door, and guessed that her friend 
Sally was being spanked.

	The second bedroom was sparsely furnished.  A four 
post bed, chest of drawers, some chairs, and some 
plants.

	Janet sat on the bed, and motioned for Tyler to 
kneel on the floor.

	"Legs apart," ordered Janet.

	"Yes, Mistress," answered Tyler.

	"Since we're not in my Dungeon, we have to be a 
little creative.  So I want you to lay yourself on the 
dresser, face down."

	"Yes, Mistress," answered Tyler.

	Tyler did as she was instructed, pushing the 
things on the dresser's top into a drawer.  Back in the 
same position that she had been before, Janet had an 
excellent view of her behind.

	Janet undid her skirt and blouse, folding them on 
a chair.  She was wearing a pair of black silk bra and 
panties, and she liked they way she looked in the 
mirror.

	"Ready, slave?" asked Janet.

	"Yes, Mistress," answered Tyler.

	Janet rewarded Tyler's reply with a swift stroke 
of the thin riding crop across her ass cheeks.  Tyler 
jerked, and moaned when the thin instrument left a thin 
red line on her behind.

	"Enjoy that?" asked Janet.

	"Yes, Mistress."

	Janet struck again, with the same force that she 
had used before.  Since she did not know when the girl 
had been last used, or how much discipline that she was 
used to, Janet punished her quite mildly.  Plus, she 
belonged to another Mistress, and did not want to 
damage her property.

	When Tyler had cried out, Janet moderated her 
strokes, making sure that she was heating up her bottom 
with a steady series of blows.  Tyler was making sounds 
indicating that she was ready to cum, not those of a 
girl in pain.  Janet guessed that she was quite 
familiar with the riding crop.

	"Enough for now," said Janet, pleased that her 
first efforts with Tyler had gone quite well.

	Janet looked at herself in the bedroom mirror, 
holding the riding crop.  Then she turned slightly, and 
saw her back in profile.  Time suddenly reversed 
itself, and she was back in Lauren's Dungeon, a ballgag 
in her mouth, the whip constantly striking her back 
like a thunderclap.

	"Mistress Janet, is there anything wrong?" asked 
Tyler.

	"Why?" questioned Janet.

	"You froze for a minute, oh!"  

	When she had turned, Tyler had seen the marks on 
her back.  The uneven skin where it had not healed 
properly.

	"How horrible," said Tyler.

	"Yes, Tyler, kneel on the floor, legs apart," 
ordered Janet.

	In the months since her recovery, the only girl 
that Janet had used was Tina.  Janet hadn't used anyone 
else, since she didn't want to expose herself to 
another woman.  Tina had never said anything, but had 
remained silent about her marks.

	Janet wondered if there had ever been a situation 
before where a slave had felt sympathy for a Mistress.

	"For speaking out of turn, I'm going to crop those 
lovely breasts of yours.  Then a few strokes to your 
back."

	"Yes, Mistress."

	Janet did as she had said, first delivered a 
series of delicate strokes that left tiny marks on 
Tyler's breasts, making them shake with each impact.  
Then she concluded by leaving a few marks on Tyler's 
back.

	"There now," said Janet, "had a good time?"

	"Yes, Mistress," answered Tyler.

	Janet stripped off her remaining clothing and sat 
down on the bed, bare.  Still holding the riding crop, 
she opened her legs.

	"Satisfy me, slave.  Or I'll use the crop again," 
ordered Janet.

	Tyler complied immediately, her eager tongue and 
lips soon making Janet respond with pleasure.  Janet 
forgot all her troubles as the expert slave at her feet 
brought her waves and waves of sensation, making her 
cum time after time.

	Janet became red and flushed with excitement as 
she felt the waves of orgasm flood through her body.  
She watched herself in the mirror as she bucked with 
every climax and orgasm.

	Just to continue the pleasure, she began to 
lightly tap Tyler on the back.  This made the girl try 
ever harder to bring her to orgasm again.  Tyler was 
certainly an expert mouth girl!

	"In bed, slave!"

	Janet drew Tyler up into her arms, and they got 
between the covers.  Even though the sun was streaming 
through the windows and Janet could hear the sounds of 
traffic below, all she cared about was using this how 
little slave girl!

	She grabbed and lusted after her hungrily, taking 
possession of her body again and again.  Janet forgot 
then pain that she continued to endure, and used Tyler 
completely.

	Tyler responded, matching her lustful thrusts.  
They ground their hips together, and Janet moaned when 
she felt her nipples sucked and teased.  Janet did the 
same to Tyler, and her tongue darted through Tyler's 
golden nipple rings.

	After what seemed like hours, Janet lay satisfied 
on her back.  All the cares in the world were gone.  At 
least for a little while.

	"Thank you, Mistress," said Tyler, "for using me 
so well."

	"You're welcome Tyler.  And thank you, too."

	"May I ask Mistress a question?"

	"Go ahead," said Janet.

	"Your back, how did you get those marks?"

	Twice in one day now, another woman had seen her 
marks, and was reacting to it.  It seemed as if the 
scars Janet bore were both internal and external.

	"Has a Mistress ever punished you past your 
safeword?" asked Janet.

	"No, Mistress, never," answered Tyler.

	"Make certain that you are never a slave to one 
who does," cautioned Janet.

	"Yes, Mistress," replied Tyler.
	*			*				*		
	*
	Janet rubbed her eyes and wished that she had a 
drink in front of her.  The public library was a great 
place to work, but lacked the freedom to open a can of 
soda.

	The damage to her portfolio was serious, but not 
catastrophic.  Fortunately, the market had stopped its 
slide and stabilized after a few anxious days.  Janet 
looked at the value of her portfolio and hoped that 
Tiffany had suffered a loss also.

	It had been a few days since she had returned from 
New York City.  What had seemed like a disaster had 
instead turned into something memorable.  Running into 
Sally like that, meeting Melissa and her slave Tyler.  
She had exchanged numbers with Melissa and had promised 
to see her again soon.

	After making a few decisions to buy some new 
stocks now that the market was down, she hoped that her 
new purchases would go up in value.  She wondered just 
what her former stockbroker boyfriend was up to now.  
Probably married with two kids in the suburbs.

	Janet tore up her notes, and was left only with 
her new purchases.  That she would give to the broker.  
It was so warm that she didn't need a coat.  Since 
Tiffany had taken the BMW, Janet was left with the 
Toyota.  She drove to the broker, had her ten minutes 
with him, went to the bank, and realized that she was 
free for the day.

	In all her time in Greenwich, Janet had never gone 
to the beach.  After inheriting Erica's house last 
summer, she had planned to go to the beach.  But 
instead, life had been far too busy with her assuming 
the life of a Mistress.

	But now it was spring, and Janet suddenly wanted 
to walk and hear the ocean.  She looked at her map, and 
found that she was in for some complicated driving.  
Still, she had her beach pass (which was something that 
Blanca had gotten for her), and was determined to see 
the ocean.

	Todd's Point was a tiny beach compared to what she 
had been used to.  Restricted to Greenwich residents, 
Janet had to show her pass.  Even though the season 
still hadn't started, the place was still hard to get 
into.

	Walking in her sneakers, Janet enjoyed the sound 
of the surf and the smell of the ocean.  Getting a 
drink from the one small concession shack, she sat down 
on a wooden bench, and played with the sand.

	"It's nice not to have any cares for once," she 
said aloud.

	She watched a few hardy souls swimming in what 
must have been freezing water.  After her city trip, 
Janet knew that swimming, even with a full suit, was 
clearly out.  People would see and talk about the whip 
marks, even if they did not know their origin.  It was 
not yet time to have her back fixed, thought Janet.

	"A penny for your thoughts," said a familiar voice 
behind her.

	"Stephanie!" cried Janet.

	Janet jumped up, and hugged her friend.  She was 
glad when Stephanie hugged back, and they sat down 
together.

	"But how?  You're not a Greenwich resident?" asked 
Janet.

	"Oh, let's just saw that one of the local female 
politicians happens to be my slave, so I have some 
pull.  Anyway, I'm glad to see that you're here.  That 
house has become a prison for you," stated Stephanie.

	"You're right.  I really should get out more," 
said Janet.

	"But I've got something of interest to put you 
back in the Dungeon.  Tell me, how many slaves have you 
had in the last year?"

	"Tina, and the one in New York.  Plus a couple of 
others that I got out of Erica's books," Janet 
answered.

	"Not too many, then," stated Stephanie.

	"This year has been a disaster for me.  I've spent 
the last three months healing after my encounter with 
Lauren.  Tina still tells me that I have trouble 
sleeping, and I believe her," said Janet.

	"Then let me give you a good gift.  How would you 
like the chance to develop a new slave girl, entirely 
from scratch?" offered Stephanie.

	"You must be joking," said Janet.

	"No, I'm too busy right now to develop someone 
new."

	"Liar."

	"Perhaps.  But it's time that you started with 
someone new.  Eventually, you'll have your own little 
stable of willing slaves, like every Mistress.  Nobody 
can blame you for anything after what you've been 
through.  Interested?"

	Could she really turn down an opportunity like 
that?  Somehow, Janet wasn't able to call Erica's 
slaves like Tiffany.  She wondered if she really was a 
Mistress at heart.

	"Yes.  I'll take her off your hands," said Janet.

	"Good!  Here's her name, address, phone, and 
photo," said Stephanie as she dug a photo out of her 
purse.

	Janet looked over the picture.  It showed a well-
dressed woman in her early thirties, pretty and well 
built.  Janet wondered why such a good-looking girl 
would want to serve a Mistress, rather than have a 
normal relationship?

	"Jessica Danvers," read Janet from the pictures 
back, "That name sounds familiar."

	"It's old money.  Very old money.  Satisfy her 
desires, and you'll be quite well rewarded," advised 
Stephanie.

	"Why me?" asked Janet.

	"Her ancestors were putting people into stocks and 
whipped them during the witch trials in colonial times.  
Now one of their descendants wants to serve a Dominant 
Mistress.  I can't think of one better than you, after 
your recent experience."

	"Thanks."

	"Look.  You won't go too far with her, and she'll 
appreciate that.  Just like the way you started slowly 
with Tina has paid off, Jessica will react the same 
way.  If she were to start with Lauren, she'd never 
want to see a Mistress again.  Now I probably couldn't 
pry Tina from you with a crowbar, because she loves 
you."

	"All right, you've convinced me.  I'll call her," 
said Janet.

	"You've got to follow the ritual.  Have a limo 
pick her up, be mysterious.  Show off Tina in a latex 
outfit, and her marks.  Everything that you can do to 
intrigue her.  That way, she'll get fascinated and want 
to serve a Mistress."

	"Just like Erica did?" asked Janet.

	"Yes, just like Erica.  It's time you started 
doing what you've learned from Erica and myself," 
ordered Stephanie.

	"Yes, Mistress," said Janet.

	"What!" demanded Stephanie.

	"Yes, Mistress Stephanie."

	"That's better," answered Stephanie, "now get to 
work."

	Janet stared at the ocean with new confidence, and 
suddenly looked forward to the future.  It didn't look 
all that bad, for now!
	*			*			*			*
	Janet was terrified before she made the call.  
Stephanie had phoned earlier, saying that she had 
phoned Jessica and told her that she was unavailable 
and it would be Mistress Janet who would supervise her 
training.  It had been one thing to call one of Erica's 
former slaves.  It was quite something else to cold 
call a stranger, and sound like a confident Mistress.  
Janet wished that she had Erica's voice and ability.

	"Hello, is this Jessica Danvers?" asked Janet.

	"Speaking," said a female voice.

	Janet looked at the picture she was holding, and 
tried to connect the voice to that photo.

	"This is Mistress Janet Davis.  Mistress Stephanie 
referred you to me.  Is that correct?"

	"Yes, Janet."

	"Mistress Janet, to you.  I understand that you 
have a special need that has to be fulfilled.  Is that 
correct?" demanded Janet.

	"Yes, Mistress Janet."

	"Good.  Then we understand each other.  I have an 
opening this Friday night.  You will be available to 
me.  Is that understood?"

	"I had something planned, Mistress Janet," 
answered Jessica.

	"Cancel it.  Immediately.  That is, if you're not 
really serious."

	"No, Mistress Janet."

	"Good.  I'll send a limo to your house, or 
anywhere you wish to be picked up.  Give me the 
location.  Now!"

	When Janet hung up the receiver, she was shaking 
like a leaf.  She remembered the chill she felt 
whenever Erica would call her to make her weekly 
appointments.  Now it was Janet who was the Mistress, 
and someone else the slave!

	Janet walked over to the bar and poured herself a 
small cream sherry.  She twirled the glass around a few 
times, watching the heavy liquid in the glass.  Janet 
took a few sips of the sherry, enjoying the warm glow 
it produced as it went down to her stomach.

	Friday was two days away!
	*			*			*			*
	Jessica Danvers did not wish to be picked up at 
her estate.  Even though her walled estate was in 
reality not far from Janet's, she had instead chosen a 
site several miles away to be collected.

	While Janet had been able to see where she had 
been going, Janet now decided that she was going to do 
something different in her role as a Mistress.  She had 
bought a pair of modern high tech sunglasses that 
curved and touched a person's face.  Then she had 
blacked out the interior, so that the wearer couldn't 
see anything.

	Janet had instructed the driver to tell his 
passenger that she had to wear the glasses and secure 
them with an elastic strap to maintain the Mistresses 
identity.  If she refused, Jessica would not be brought 
to Janet's house.  Stephanie had referred the driver to 
her, and Janet thought that he had driven her to 
Erica's house last year, but didn't question him.

	When the limo began to pull into the driveway 
after the gate had opened, Janet had gone from 
frightened to calm.

	'All right, Mistress Janet,' she thought to 
herself, 'Time to start acting like one.'

	She had instructed Tina to dress in her rubber 
Maid's outfit, with no underwear.  She wanted Tina to 
be available for use quickly, should the need arise.  
Janet smoothed her own leather dress down, and looked 
at herself in the mirror one more time.  Then she sat 
down in Erica's chair, and heard the house door open 
and muted voices.

	Tina had been ordered to go outside and help the 
sightless visitor into the house, where her glasses 
would be removed in the library.  Janet waited, nervous 
as hell for the most important moment in her new life.

	Finally, there was a knock on the door, and the 
whole universe shrank to just one room.

	"Enter," commanded Janet.

	Tina, who opened the door for her and remained 
inside the library after she had closed the door, led 
in Janet Danvers.  The woman was wearing her glasses as 
instructed, and couldn't see a thing.  There was an 
awkward moment of silence before she spoke softly.

	"Mistress Janet, this is Jessica Danvers," said 
Tina.

	"Please remove her glasses," ordered Janet.

	"Yes, Mistress."

	Tina reached over and grasped Jessica's glasses, 
pulling them off over her head.  Jessica blinked in the 
sudden light, her eyes focusing on the Mistress seated 
in front of her.

	"Good evening.  My name is Mistress Janet," she 
said, introducing herself, you may either address me as 
Mistress Janet, or just Mistress.  Do you understand?"

	"Yes, Mistress," answered Jessica, hesitation in 
her voice, "I am Jessica Danvers."

	"Good.  Jessica, you may have a seat."

	"Thank you....Mistress Janet," answered Jessica, 
her voice wavering with uncertainty as she seated 
herself in one of the leather chairs.

	"What were you expecting?" asked Janet.

	"I'm not sure," answered Jessica.

	"Not sure about what, and you really must call me 
Mistress," said Janet.

	"It's not what I expected, Mistress."

	"Do you think that I'd drag you to the Dungeon and 
tear your clothes off?    You must be able to prove 
your submission to me."

	"I don't understand, Mistress Janet."

	"Perhaps you would like to see my Maid.  Come 
here, Tina."

	Tina quickly walked over and stood in front of her 
Mistress.  The black rubber had clung tightly to her 
naked body underneath, and her every curve could be 
seen.  Her erect nipples were clearly visible on her 
breasts.  Janet knew that Tina was also excited to be 
displayed in this manner in front of a complete 
stranger.

	"Tina, state your position in this House."

	"I belong to Mistress Janet both as Maid and 
Slave."

	"Thank you Tina.  Would you like proof of that, 
Jessica?"

	"Yes, Mistress Janet."

	Janet arose from her chair, and walked over to 
Tina.  Using her two hands, she held onto Tina's collar 
with one and unzipped the latex outfit with the other.  
It fell to the floor, and Tina was naked and on 
display.

	"Step out of your, outfit, slave," ordered Janet.

	Tina lifted her feet, and picked up her uniform, 
which she folded and placed on a chair.  Jessica gasped 
at the sight of the naked girl in front of her.

	"As you can see, my slave is entirely truthful.  
Turn around, Tina."

	Tina did as she was ordered, displaying her body 
and marks for their guest.  The surprise on her face 
was clearly evident.

	"Tell Jessica how you got those marks, Tina."

	"Mistress Janet disciplined me in the Dungeon, 
using a whip and riding crop."

	"Tell her why," ordered Janet.

	"I had disobeyed Mistress Janet's orders."

	"Why else can you be punished?" asked Janet.

	"Because my Mistress desires it," answered Tina.

	"You see, here is one of my slaves.  Do you think 
that you can be one?"

	Jessica was speechless, and Janet could see the 
conflicting emotions and indecision that was evident on 
her face.  She was both horrified and attracted at the 
same time by the sight of a Mistress and her slave 
girl.

	"Answer me, Jessica," ordered Janet.

	"I would like to try," answered Jessica slowly.

	"Before you fully agree, I think that you should 
closely examine Tina.  Look at the many marks on her 
flesh, and consider whether you could endure such a 
thing."

	"Yes, Mistress Janet," answered Jessica entranced 
by the entire scene.

	Jessica slowly rose, and walked the few steps 
towards Tina.  She slowly circled her, her eyes tracing 
the many red welts that adorned Tina's figure.  Jessica 
was clearly fascinated by what she was seeing.

	"You can touch her, if you'd like," offered Janet, 
"she won't melt."

	"Thank you, Mistress Janet," quickly answered 
Jessica.

	Jessica reached out her hand, almost like she was 
about to touch a live wire.  Her fingers explored 
Tina's marks, tracing their paths.  Tina stood rock 
still, not moving a muscle.

	"Tina is standing at attention right now.  Do you 
think that you could learn to stand so correctly when 
your body is being examined?" demanded Janet.

	"No, Mistress Janet."

	"Then that is one of the many skills that you 
shall have to learn in order to be my slave," stated 
Janet.

	"Would you like to see a demonstration?" asked 
Janet.

	"Of what?" nervously answered Jessica.

	"Just how submissive one of my slaves can be," 
said Janet.

	"Yes.........Yes," stuttered Jessica.

	"Then sit down and don't interfere.  If you say or 
do anything, there will be a punishment for you."

	"Yes, Mistress Janet."

	"And one other thing.  Take your clothes off," 
casually ordered Janet.

	"My clothes?"

	"You forgot to address me as Mistress.  This isn't 
a garden party, you're not among polite society now.  
If you want to be a slave, the first lesson that you 
learn is that slaves don't wear clothing.  Just be glad 
that you won't be bound, as I was my first time.  So 
strip!" ordered Janet.

	For Janet, this was indeed the moment of truth.  
Whether or not she could order a women new to 
submission to obey her orders would establish if she 
was indeed a Dominant or not.

	Reluctantly, Jessica unzipped her skirt and folded 
it on a chair.   Then she unbuttoned her blouse, and 
removed her modest heels.  Her bra came next, followed 
by her pantyhose, and panties.  Soon, she was standing 
naked in front of Janet, her face blushing with shame.

	"Let me see what you look like," directed Janet, 
"turn around slowly."

	Jessica did as she was ordered, and displayed her 
nakedness to Janet.  She was blushing and ashamed, and 
clearly embarrassed.

	"Is this the first time that you have shown 
yourself to another woman?" asked Janet.

	"Yes, Mistress Janet," Jessica answered in a 
halting voice.

	"There's nothing to be ashamed of.  In this house, 
my slaves have no need of clothes, except those that I 
order.  You're quite beautiful, you know."

	"Yes, Mistress."

	"In time, you shall have no problem showing 
yourself to other women, once you've been trained," 
said Janet.

	"Yes, Mistress," repeated Jessica.

	"Now I want you to kneel on the carpet over 
there," pointed Janet to a small circular rug that she 
had brought in just for tonight, "with your legs open 
so that your sex is open and available, your hands on 
your knees, and your mouth shut."

	"Yes, Mistress Janet."

	Her body shaking, Jessica gingerly walked over to 
the rug, lowered herself to the floor, and did as she 
was instructed.  Once kneeling, she looked directly at 
Janet.

	"You must never look directly at you Mistress, or 
close your legs.  I shall tell you this only once," 
cautioned Janet.

	"Yes, Mistress Janet," Jessica answered.

	"Good.  Now be quiet and watch," ordered Janet, 
"Tina, get four ropes, and the riding crop, plus the 
ballgag."

	"Yes, Mistress Janet," responded Tina.

	Tina walked, naked, over to a cabinet and got the 
items that Janet had asked for.  Since she had already 
used Tina quite harshly recently, she only wanted to 
provide a mild demonstration for Jessica.

	Tina presented them to Janet by lying the items at 
Janet's feet, then kneeling nearby herself.  She was in 
the same position as Jessica, naked and silent.

	"Very good, Tina.  Now I want you to lay down on 
the black leather footstool, and remain silent," 
ordered Janet.

	Rather than provide a demonstration immediately in 
the Dungeon, Janet instead merely wanted to whet 
Jessica's curiosity by showing a mild punishment here 
in the library first.  Time enough for the Dungeon 
later!

	Tina picked herself up and was soon in the 
position that Janet had ordered.  Janet realized that 
in the entire time that she had been a Mistress, she 
had not yet used the footstool that Erica had gotten as 
a gift from Stephanie.  So Tina would be the first!

	Her breasts were compressed by the weight of her 
body onto the soft black leather, and her sex was in 
shadow.  Her shapely behind stuck out nicely, just 
perfect for using the riding crop on.

	Janet uncoiled the ropes that Tina had procured, 
and proceeded to tie Tina to the footstool.  She first 
would tie a small knot onto the wood of each leg, 
pulling it tight.  Then she would wind the cord first 
around Tina's arms, then legs.  Finally, she tied a 
couple of loops at 90 degrees to the rest of the loops, 
cinching the rope and Tina's limbs tightly to the 
stool's legs.

	Try as she might, there was no way that Tina could 
loosen herself from the footstool.  Her naked body was 
bound to the leather-clad cushion, and she could only 
wait for what would happen next!

	Janet walked the few steps to her desk, and 
removed a broad leather paddle.  She displayed the 
paddle to Jessica, whose eyes widened at the sight of 
the instrument. Then she showed it to Tina, who 
displayed no reaction.

	"Kiss the paddle," ordered Janet.

	Tina did so, willingly, and Jessica watched her 
every move with great interest and fascination.

	Janet than walked around to Tina's upraised 
behind, and began by delivering firm but gentle strokes 
to her bottom.  Every time the paddle impacted on her 
buttocks, the flesh bounced with the impact.  In 
addition, Tina ground her bound naked body against the 
black leather, which excited her even more.  Tina 
moaned with each impact of the paddle, her cries being 
the only sound in the library.

	Janet then stole a look at Jessica.  The woman was 
fascinated and embarrassed at the same time.  She 
continued to blush, and her facial cheeks were a bright 
red.  But she kept her hands on her knees as ordered.

	"Jessica?" asked Janet.

	"Yes, Mistress."

	"Would you like to feel Tina's skin after it has 
been punished?" questioned Janet.

	"Yes, Mistress."

	"Then you may come over here and feel Tina's 
behind, which I have warmed with the paddle."

	"Yes, Mistress."

	Jessica rose slowly to her feet, and stretched an 
uncertain hand out towards Tina's upraised bottom.   
The flesh was bright red from the impacts of the 
paddle, and Jessica gingerly placed her hand on Tina's 
right ass cheek.

	"It's warm, Mistress," observed Jessica.

	"Yes.  And would you like to have your behind 
warmed with the paddle?" asked Janet.

	"Yes, Mistress," quickly answered Jessica, 
excitement present in her voice.

	"You may assume the position on the rug again, 
Jessica, and remain silent as before.  Except this 
time, place your hands behind your head."

	"Yes, Mistress," answered Jessica as she followed 
Janet's orders fully.

	Janet reached under Tina, and pinched her nipples, 
making her moan with excitement.  Then she began to 
play with her sex, inserting her fingers in and out, 
simulating intercourse.  She reached inside and played 
with Tina's clit, making her moan with desire.

	"Jessica, I want you to understand that when 
you're my slave, I own you totally.  I decide what 
clothes you wear, if any.  I will use the whip or the 
crop, and keep you soundly disciplined.  I shall decide 
what pain or pleasure you may endure, but I shall never 
push you past your limits.  Do you understand?" asked 
Janet.

	"No, Mistress.  But I would like to learn to 
please you."

	"Very good, for starters.  But the first time you 
feel that you feel the lash may be quite different," 
lectured Janet.

	"I think that I can learn, Mistress," said 
Jessica.

	"I'm sure that you will," said Janet.

	Janet now removed a large dildo from the desk, 
which she had kept hidden from view until now.  She 
displayed it to Jessica, whose eyes widened at the 
sight of the shaft.  Janet began to thrust it in and 
out of Tina's pussy, making her rub against the leather 
footstool, arousing her even more.  Tina moaned and 
bucked against the rope strands that bound her to the 
footstool, her cries of pleasure filling the library.

	"Please Mistress," cried Tina, "let me cum!"

	"Not yet, Tina.  I want you to control yourself, 
especially since we have an audience today," said 
Janet.

	"Oh, oh!" cried Tina.

	"Let me take her place," begged Jessica, "please!"

	"For interrupting me, slave, you shall wear the 
ballgag," angrily yelled Janet.

	Leaving the shaft inside Tina, Janet picked up the 
ballgag and approached Jessica.  She held the straps 
with her hands, with the red rubber ball between them.

	"Open your mouth, fool," directed Janet, "and 
place your hands on your knees again."

	When Jessica opened her mouth, she suddenly had 
the rubber ball forced inside.  Janet pulled the 
leather straps around her head, and buckled the gag at 
the nape of her neck.  Jessica was totally silenced.

	"Keep your hands behind your head, and you shall 
pay seriously if you remove that gag, or interrupt me 
again," said Janet with fury in her voice.

	Jessica nodded her acceptance, and averted her 
eyes from Mistress Janet, who now resumed her 
activities with Tina.  Taking up where she had left 
off, she resumed thrusting with the shaft, making Tina 
moan with greater and greater excitement.

	Janet decided that Tina was finally ready, and at 
the peak of erotic excitement.  She reached forward, 
and reached to pinch at Tina's nipple again.

	"Now, slave, cum!"

	Tina exploded in a cascade of orgasms, her body 
releasing all of the erotic excitement of her bondage, 
paddling, and now the thrusting of the phallus.  She 
bucked and moaned, thrusting her naked skin against the 
leather of the stool, exciting her even more.

	Once she had spent herself, Tina lay exhausted on 
the leather, panting.  Janet looked at her with pride, 
happy that she had performed in front of another 
person.

	"Thank you, Mistress," gasped Tina.

	"You're welcome, Tina."

	Janet stole a glance at Jessica, who was 
transfixed at what she had seen.  Jessica knelt on the 
carpet, her hands behind her head and the rubber ball 
fixed within her mouth.  Janet finally felt 
satisfaction in her own House!

	Janet untied Tina, and ordered her to stand up.  
Tina rose, and awaited the next instruction of her 
Mistress.

	"Tina, get dressed and take this new slave to the 
bedroom we selected earlier.  Let her do her toilet, 
and then lock her into only a collar and chain, and 
attach that to the ringbolt on the wall.  You may 
remove her gag after I have left the library, and only 
then," ordered Janet.

	"Yes, Mistress."

	"Jessica, tonight you shall spend the night in a 
bedroom, though you shall be locked to the wall.  
Tomorrow, you shall see the Dungeon and feel my lash, 
and spend the night in a cell.  Nod if you accept the 
start of your slavery," said Janet.

	Jessica nodded yes, her eyes hypnotized by Janet's 
words.

	"I shall see you tomorrow, Jessica.  And you had 
better be prepared to clean house naked with my Maid.  
Understand?  Tomorrow will be your first day as a new 
slave."

	Janet walked quickly out of the library, and shut 
the door behind her.  She wanted to make sure that the 
Dungeon was clean and ready for use tomorrow, while 
Tina was attending to their new slave.  Jessica was 
hooked and excited!
	*			*			*			*
	The next day, Janet could barely contain herself 
as she gave Tina her orders for the day.  Tiffany had 
vanished, leaving Janet the sole Mistress of the house.

	While she usually gave Tina her orders just once a 
week, and they had already gone over Saturday's 
schedule earlier, she had decided that Jessica should 
see how she was Mistress of her House.  Tina and 
Jessica both stood in attendance, with Jessica naked, 
as Janet described their chores for the day.  Janet 
reflected when she had been in Jessica's place, and now 
she was the Mistress.

	After Stephanie had given Janet the information 
about her prospect, Janet had driven to the public 
library and quietly researched everything that she 
could about Jessica Danvers.  Jessica was a wealthy 
woman who had inherited a large fortune, then made it 
grow through a series of brilliant investments into an 
even bigger fortune.  Janet looked at the society 
columns and saw Jessica at charity events, concerts, 
and the other haunts of the wealthy.

	It was therefore quite disconcerting to see the 
same person naked, dusting the furniture with Tina 
directing her every activity.  Janet ordered Tina only 
to scold her charge if she made a mistake, and next 
week she could use the crop to discipline Jessica.  
That would be after Janet had disciplined her first!

	Tina and Jessica had both been ordered to serve 
breakfast, lunch, and dinner to Janet.  Sometimes, 
Janet would drop ceremony, and eat lunch with Tina 
alone in the kitchen.  But now it was necessary for 
Jessica to learn the proper respect for her Mistress.

	Janet sat at Erica's desk, waiting.  In front of 
the desk was a small table and chair.  Upon the table 
was a white lined legal pad and ballpoint pen.  Jessica 
sat in the chair, directly facing Janet.

	"I don't understand, Mistress?" asked Jessica.

	"Before you can be my slave, I have to know why.  
I do this for your own protection, so that you do not 
make a terrible mistake."

	"Why, Mistress?"

	"If you do not write down the reasons why you want 
to be my slave, and the paper remains blank, then you 
have failed your first test.  Any slave can take the 
lash, but I have to know why," stressed Janet.

	Jessica remained silent, and did not answer.

	"I shall leave now, and you shall have the library 
to yourself.  If you have not written a lengthy piece 
on why you want to be my slave, then you will be 
unsuitable," said Janet as she rose from the desk.

	As Janet walked out of the library, she wondered 
if she had the same puzzled expression on her face when 
Erica had made the same demand on her, so long ago. 

	Finally, it was evening, and the spring sky had 
darkened to night.  It was time for Jessica to 
experience her first time in the Dungeon!

	Tina had been ordered to collar and bracelet 
Jessica in one of the bedrooms, then blindfold and gag 
her before taking her to the Dungeon.  Janet wanted her 
new slave to be dripping with anticipation before her 
first discipline.

	When Jessica had been led into the Dungeon, it was 
late at night.  But Janet had turned the lights up, 
making them almost blinding when Tina removed Jessica's 
blindfold.  Jessica shook her head, as the lights 
dazzled her when her blindfold was removed.

	She was made to kneel, her bracelets locked behind 
her back.  Then Tina removed her ballgag, and Janet 
entered the Dungeon.

	"Did you have a good day, slave?" asked Janet.

	"Yes, Mistress," answered Jessica.

	"Are you prepared to accept my discipline?" asked 
Janet.

	"Yes, Mistress."

	"Good.  But there are things that you must swear 
to me first.  Do you, Jessica Danvers, accept my 
discipline of your own free will?"

	"Yes, Mistress."

	"Without coercion or duress?"

	"Yes, Mistress."

	"That you will faithfully obey the orders of your 
Mistress?"

	"Yes, Mistress."

	"And that you will no longer have the freedom of 
your own body, which shall belong to me, totally."

	"Yes, Mistress Janet."

	"Choose your safeword," ordered Janet.

	"Mercy, Mistress," answered Jessica.

	"Then you are ready to be whipped.  I found your 
explanation suitable, but brief.  From now on, you 
shall be required to write more in the future.  Tina, 
you know what to do," said Janet.

	Jessica Danvers, socialite, was soon hanging from 
the ceiling chain naked, her wrists and ankles held 
apart by spreader bars.  Her body was held in the shape 
of an X, and every part of her figure was available for 
Janet to use.

	Janet had decided to wear a stunning black leather 
catsuit that she had not worn in a while.  It hugged 
every part of her body, and she loved the smell and 
feel of the leather as it totally enclosed her.

	She selected a thin leather whip that would sting 
but not mark.  Janet wanted Jessica to return next week 
for more of the discipline that she secretly craved.  
She did not want to hurt her the first time, as that 
would discourage her from returning in the future.

	"I say again, do you accept my discipline?" asked 
Janet.

	"Yes, Mistress Janet," answered Jessica.

	"Then kiss the whip and thank your Mistress for 
the discipline that you are about to receive," ordered 
Janet.

	Jessica did as she was ordered to, and kissed the 
whip.  Her body tensed against the bonds that held her, 
and she thanked Janet for her punishment.

	Janet stood back, and swung the whip.  It 
encircled Jessica's body, and she jerked when the tip 
impacted on her behind.  She squealed in pain, from the 
shock of the first stroke.

	Janet did not believe in hurrying Jessica's first 
punishment.  Instead of beating her brutally, she paced 
the intervals of each stroke so that the anticipation 
of each stroke had the same effect as the whip itself.

	Jessica moaned and cried within her bonds, her 
nails digging into her palms every time the whip landed 
on her flesh.  She cried, but did not ask for Janet to 
cease her whipping.

	Janet stopped, and looked at her sweat stained 
captive.  

	"Are you all right, slave?" asked Janet.

	"Yes, Mistress.  Thank you, Mistress," answered 
Jessica.

	Janet reached out and pinched Jessica's erect 
nipple.  This made her further moan in agony.  Then she 
reached down, and invaded Jessica's sex.  Her canal was 
wet with excitement, her juices making her slick 
inside.  While she was clearly ready for a dildo, Janet 
decided that would be for another weekend.  She wanted 
Jessica to come back for more.

	"Kiss the whip," ordered Janet, "I'm finished with 
you tonight."

	"No, mistress, no!" cried Jessica.

	"There will be plenty of other times, slave.  Are 
you disobeying your Mistress already, on your first 
night in the Dungeon?"

	"I'm sorry, Mistress.  I'll do whatever you say," 
sobbed Jessica.

	"Since you have been whipped for the first time, 
there is something that I must now tell you.  If you 
are ever punished to your limit, then you must plead 
for mercy, and any good Mistress will stop.  However, 
you must never place yourself at the mercy of a 
Mistress who will not heed your plea, ever," cautioned 
Janet.

	"I understand, Mistress," said Jessica.

	"No you don't," said Janet softly, tears in her 
eyes as she turned on her heels and left the Dungeon.

	Janet ordered that Jessica be chained in the 
downstairs cell, with her hands locked to her collar so 
that she couldn't stimulate herself to relieve the 
sexual tension that the discipline had generated in 
her.  Tina reported that she had moaned all night, 
frustrated by her bondage.

	The next day, Jessica was bathed and clothed by 
Tina.  On her way out, she bowed before Janet, and 
swore that she would return.  Her glasses were placed 
on her again, so that she would not know the location 
of Janet's House, and she was driven off the Estate.

	'I think that I've got an eager slave,' thought 
Janet to herself.
	*			*			*			*
	The next Wednesday, Janet and Stephanie went out 
together for a night out.  Tiffany had returned, and 
announced that she was going to entertain her slave 
Denise, who Janet thought had been used too harshly.

	Janet and Stephanie first went shopping in a local 
mall, trying on clothes together in the expensive 
department stores like a couple of teenage girls.  
Janet managed to avoid trying on something that would 
show the marks on her back, so she felt safe.

	Then they went out for dinner to an expensive 
restaurant, and she let Stephanie do the ordering for 
what was a memorable meal.  Afterwards, they went to 
the movies, and enjoyed a foreign film that was all the 
rage.

	"What a night," said Janet, as she pointed the car 
home.

	"Sure you don't want to go out for another drink?" 
asked Stephanie.

	"We've already been to every watering hole in the 
area," replied Janet.

	"Lush."

	"Drunken Dominant," mocked Janet.

	After Janet had parked the car in front of her 
house, they went inside.

	"Tina," called Janet, "Tina?"

	"Where is she?" asked Stephanie, as she stowed 
their jackets in the hall closet.

	"She would never have gone to bed if we went out," 
said Janet.

	"Yes, that's very unusual for someone so devoted," 
said Stephanie.

	Walking upstairs, they found Tiffany, asleep on 
her own bed, a bottle of bourbon open on her night 
table. 

	"Tiffany," Janet said gently, waking her up, 
"Tiffany."

	"Huh?" dumbly answered Tiffany, "what time is it?"

	"Two.  Where's Tina?  She isn't in her room."

	"Oh, shit.  Denise didn't come, so I used Tina.  I 
left her in the cell, in a straitjacket and ballgag."

	"What!" thundered Janet, "when did you leave her?"

	"Maybe nine, ten."

	"Oh, god," cried Janet.

	Janet raced out of Tiffany's bedroom, almost 
knocking into Stephanie.  She pointed downstairs, and 
they both ran down the stairs and through the open door 
down below to the Dungeon.

	In the cell where Janet had spent her first night 
in captivity, Tina was laced into a leather 
straitjacket.  Her mouth was filled by a ballgag, and 
her ankles were chained together.

	Janet pulled the key from the wall, tears in her 
eyes as she opened the cell lock.  Once inside, Janet 
released the straps from her ballgag, and Tina took 
short rasping breaths.

	"I knew you'd come, Mistress," weakly said Tina 
before she passed out in Janet's arms.
		*			*			*		
	*
	"She'll be all right," said Stephanie as she 
stowed away her medical bag.

	"Thank god," cried Janet, "I should never have 
left her with Tiffany."

	"You know, according to the rules, she could leave 
you," cautioned Stephanie.

	"Yes."

	"But before she slept, she told me she wouldn't.  
She's attached to you, Janet."

	"I'll spend the night next to her in the chair, to 
make sure that she'll be all right," said Janet.

	"Tina stayed by your side for days until the fever 
broke," stated Stephanie.

	"That's why I have to stay with her," said Janet.

	"Guess I'll call Camille and tell her not to wait 
up.  Got a spare bedroom?" asked Stephanie.
		*			*			*		
	*
	The next day, Janet cooked breakfast for Tina, and 
delivered it to her bedroom on a tray.  Tina was quite 
surprised to be served by her Mistress.

	"Tina, you have the day off," began Janet, "and 
Stephanie has arranged a doctor appointment for you 
later today.  I want you to have a complete examination 
in an office with the right equipment.  Camille will be 
by to pick you up soon.  Just to make sure that you are 
all right before you resume your duties."

	"But, Mistress Janet.  I feel perfectly all right, 
really," answered Tina.

	"Are you disobeying your Mistress?  A great wrong 
was done to you last night.  Tiffany placed you in a 
straitjacket with a ballgag then left you alone for 
hours.  I want to make sure that you will be all right.  
I owe you that much."

	"Thank you, Mistress."

	"You stayed at my side when I was recovering from 
the beating I took at the hands of Mistress Lauren, and 
I saw tears in your eyes when I regained consciousness 
after the fever broke.  Thank you, and thank you for 
staying with me.  And I'll make sure that Tiffany will 
never touch you again, ever.  I'd kill her first, 
myself," angrily lectured Janet.

	"Thank you, Mistress Janet."

	Janet watched from her bedroom window as Camille 
helped Tina into Stephanie's car, and drove her away.  
Good. That left only Stephanie and Tiffany in the 
house, and Stephanie had said that she would "take 
care" of Tiffany, prior to being brought into the 
library to speak to Janet.

	Janet swallowed, glad that Stephanie had spent the 
night.  If she had not been there, Janet might have 
hurt or harmed Tiffany in anger.  No, this was a 
decision that had to be reached coldly and calmly, not 
through anger and emotion.

	'Erica, what would you do now?' Janet asked 
silently to herself.

	She couldn't banish Tiffany from the house without 
forfeiting her own rights to Erica's estate.  That had 
been made clear in Erica's papers.  No, Tiffany would 
still have the right to live here for the next three 
months, and do the household accounts.  Not that she 
had shown any real interest in running the estate.

	In less than 90 days, they would both be called to 
Blanca's office in New York City and learn who would be 
the Mistress and who would be the slave.  Janet dug her 
nails into her palms, wondering just how the fates 
would treat them both.

	She looked at her watch, and went down to the 
library.  Janet sat behind Erica's desk, not yet 
feeling that it was hers.  Janet waited for Tiffany and 
Stephanie, hoping that she had made the correct 
decision.

	The door opened, and Stephanie brought Tiffany in.  
She was naked, and wearing a collar, and bracelets on 
her wrists and ankles.  Her wrists were joined at her 
back, and a ballgag filled her mouth.  Stephanie had 
her on a leash, and Tiffany followed obediently behind 
her.  Tiffany was led to the rug, and Stephanie made 
her kneel before removing her gag.

	"Thank you, Mistress Stephanie," said Tiffany when 
her gag was removed.

	Janet noted that there were several fresh stripes 
on Tiffany's behind and thighs, so her friend had made 
sure that there was a physical reminder of her mistake.

	"Tiffany, why?" demanded Janet.

	"I was just careless last night.  Denise didn't 
come, so I used Tina."

	"And nearly killed her," bluntly stated Janet.

	Tiffany didn't reply to Janet's statement.

	"Ever since we inherited the estate, you've acted 
strangely.  On our first night, you wanted to force me 
into bondage, and I fought you off.  Then you did 
nothing when Mistress Lauren nearly killed me.  Now, 
you nearly harmed Tina," catalogued Janet.

	Tiffany remained silent throughout Janet's speech, 
biting her lip.

	"In accordance with Erica's request, you have the 
right to continue living here until the codicil is 
read.  We shall live together, but you shall take no 
actions against either Tina or myself.  You can do the 
accounts with me, not that you have shown any interest 
in that subject lately.  You can train and discipline 
your own slaves, but you are not allowed to touch any 
of mine," lectured Janet.

	"Is there anything else?" asked Tiffany.

	"Yes.  If you ever lay a hand on Tina again, I 
swear I'll kill you."

	"Thank you, Mistress Janet," mocked Tiffany.

	"It's more than you deserve," said Stephanie, "if 
you were a slave, you'd have been packed off by now."

	"I may be locked in leather and steel right now, 
but I'm still Mistress in this house," said Tiffany, 
"which will soon be mine."

	"Stephanie, take her away and lock her in the cell 
for the rest of the day.  I don't want to see her free 
and about just now," directed Janet.

	When the library door was closed and Janet was 
alone in the library, it was Tiffany's final words that 
endlessly repeated themselves in her mind.  Even though 
her friend Stephanie was with her, Janet had never felt 
so alone in her entire life.  Was she really equal to 
the challenge that Erica had given her?

"Janet in Training" by sfmaster@worldnet.att.net
Chapter Eleven: Janet Ascending

	Spring was giving way to summer, and the heat had 
begun to increase as the days got longer.  Winter coats 
were shed for lighter spring ones, then finally for 
jackets and even going without.  The heavy clothing of 
winter was gradually being replaced as the seasons 
changed, and Janet watched as the trendy women of 
Greenwich wore the newest fashions that season.

	But not Janet, who would wear either a full blouse 
or dress, in order to conceal the scars on her back.  
Unlike the scarlet letter of colonial times, Janet wore 
hers on her back, and it was marked into her skin.  
Janet could only wonder about the reaction that she 
would cause if she were to wear a tank top or something 
else that exposed her back into a public place.

	Going to the broker that day in Greenwich had been 
good.  The market was up, and all of her new picks had 
increased in value.  She looked over the latest copies 
of the printed report in his office, and marked some 
for sale that weren't doing well, and new ones to buy.  
There was a calendar hung on his wall, from some resort 
in the Caribbean.  Janet stared at the picture of a 
couple in bathing suits on a sailboat.

	"Why don't you go on a trip there," suggested the 
broker, "you look like you could use a vacation."

	"No thanks," Janet answered, "too busy."

	If the prospect of wearing a top that exposed her 
back in Greenwich was an impossibility, she could only 
imagine what the reaction might be if she wore a bikini 
to a beach.  Or a regular suit.  Even though the marks 
on her thighs and bottom had faded, Janet was clearly 
marked, both internally and externally.

	"All work and no play," said the broker, "makes 
one pretty stale."

	"Have to work at this," confided Janet, "I have a 
reason."

	"Whatever it is, it must be important," he said as 
Janet passed him her latest decisions.

	"You don't know how important," said Janet, "or 
the stakes involved."

	"Well, good luck.  Whatever the hell you're 
involved in," he said.

	"Thanks," said Janet as she rose from her chair, 
folded the reports into her briefcase, and pulled on 
her jacket.

	"Why are you still wearing something so heavy?" he 
asked.

	"Thin blood," said Janet on the way out.

	It was a hot day, and Janet could feel that her 
blouse was already plastered on her back by sweat.  How 
she longed to rid herself of the jacket, and wear 
something light and sexy.  Instead, she felt like a 
Victorian walking around, her body fully clothed and 
invisible.

	After she had stowed away the reports in her safe 
deposit box, Janet decided that it would be nice to 
walk around.  She looked in the rich stores on the main 
street in Greenwich, and the outside temperature 
increased as the day wore on.  It was going to be a hot 
early summer, and the fashions this year were going to 
show a lot of skin.

	"Janet?"

	Janet turned around when she heard the unfamiliar 
voice at her back.  There was a girl standing there, a 
pretty brunette.  Janet looked her over, and undressed 
her with her eyes, wondering if she was someone's 
slave.

	"Do I know you?" asked Janet.

	"You took Lauren's continued punishment in my 
place in her house months ago," she said softly so that 
nobody else could hear, "my name is Myra."

	"Oh," answered Janet, recognition dawning in her 
mind.

	"I'm Rene's slave, but Lauren is free to use me 
whenever she desires.  Which is quite often," stated 
Myra.

	"Let's walk," suggested Janet.

	"Okay," answered Myra.

	Janet continued her journey through Greenwich, 
with Myra at her side, about half a pace behind her.

	"How are you doing?" asked Janet.

	"Rene and Lauren are harsh with their slaves.  You 
already know that.  I get beaten horribly on a regular 
basis."

	"I'm sorry, but there's nothing that I can do," 
said Janet, "I've already felt Lauren's whip."

	"I asked if I could be your slave.  Do you 
remember?" asked Myra.

	"Yes.  I was lucky to make it home, and I was 
feverish and delirious for days.  I nearly died," 
grimly stated Janet.

	"You infuriated Lauren by taking her punishment 
and surviving.  She hates you, and your former owner, 
Erica."

	"I know," answered Janet.

	"Please buy me and make me your slave, before she 
goes too far with me also," plead Myra, tears in her 
eyes.

	Janet thought carefully before she answered.

	"I can't, not yet.  I'm sorry, Myra.  I'm involved 
in something that Erica has devised.  Right now, I'm as 
much of a slave as you are," said Janet.

	"Is that why Tiffany is always reading the 
financial papers, calling a broker and buying stocks 
like mad?" asked Myra.

	"Yes," cautiously answered Janet.

	"She was boasting to Lauren yesterday that her 
total was over a million.  Does that mean anything to 
you?" asked Myra.

	"Yes," answered Janet, "yes it does.  Thank you."

	"Mistress Janet, please!  Buy me," begged Myra.

	"It's not yet time, Myra.  Please!" responded 
Janet.

	"Yes, Mistress Janet.  Whatever happens, good 
luck," said Myra, disappointment clearly evident in her 
voice.

	It took all of Janet's control to avoid breaking 
down as she walked back to her car and away from Myra.  
The slave had taken an awful chance in talking to her, 
and if her information was correct, then Janet was in 
real trouble.  They had both started out with a million 
dollars in stock.  In the months since, with the market 
up and down, Janet had finally reached back to her 
starting figure.

	But if Tiffany were ahead, the tyranny of the 
calendar would be ticking away the days until the end 
of her freedom.  Her threat to place Janet in the 
Dungeon was not an idle one.

	Janet shed tears in her car, worrying about the 
future and what it might bring.

	"Lunch, Mistress?" asked Tina when she returned 
home.

	"Something light, Tina.  I really don't feel like 
eating."

	"Yes, Mistress Janet."

	"Is Tiffany home, has she eaten?" asked Janet.

	"Yes, Mistress, to both questions," answered Tina.

	"Thank you, Tina."

	Tina set a tray before her containing a salad, a 
cold soda, and a piece of cake.  Janet doubted that she 
could get any of it down, but she resolved to try.  
Janet had never suffered from any of the problems of 
eating that beset other women, but her stomach was now 
tied in knots at the information that she had obtained.

	Janet ate alone in the library, reading a book 
from the vast collection that Erica had created.  How 
had her owner managed to get such a library when she 
had been so busy in the Dungeon?

	"Hi there," said Tiffany, as she seated herself on 
the leather couch.

	"Greetings," politely answered Janet.

	"I'm having a good day.  Want to go out?" offered 
Tiffany.

	"No thanks," refused Janet, "we've already done 
that."

	"Are you afraid that I'd take you to Lauren's 
again?" asked Tiffany.

	"The thought had crossed my mind," politely 
answered Janet.

	"Just out for a drive, that's all," answered 
Tiffany.

	"I'd like to rest for a while.  My slave Jessica 
is coming over tonight, so I'd like to use the Dungeon 
this evening.  Okay?" asked Janet.

	"Sure, I'm going out tonight anyway, after I go 
shopping.  I'm picking up a diamond necklace today in 
town, costing plenty," boasted Tiffany.

	"Really, how lucky of you," said Janet.

	"Let's just say that I made some money lately, and 
now I want to spend it on myself.  Want to see a 
picture?" offered Tiffany.

	"Sure."

	Tiffany unfolded a picture that she had been 
carrying around in her shirt pocket from the Times.  It 
was a diamond necklace, all right, with a price in five 
figures.

	"Just make sure you keep it safe," said Janet, 
"you wouldn't want someone to steal it from you."

	"Yeah," said Tiffany when she departed the 
library.

	Tiffany could not have hurt Janet more than if she 
had stabbed Janet with a knife.  First, the news from 
Myra and now Tiffany was spending a lot of money on a 
necklace.  What had seemed like such a good day in the 
morning was becoming a disaster in the afternoon.

	Leaving the tray in the library, she walked up to 
her bedroom, shed her shoes, and looked forward to a 
few hours of blissful sleep.  Before her session with 
Jessica, who was her devoted slave and submissive. 

	Janet lay down on the bed and loosened her blouse 
and skirt. At least the bedroom was a pleasant 
temperature.  Not too hot or too cold, she thought.

	When the alarm clock finally went off at 5 PM, it 
was a relief to awaken.  Janet swung her legs off the 
bed, and realized that she was covered in sweat.  Her 
clothes were soaked, as if she had been outside on an 
August day.

	"Damn!" cried Janet, "shower time."

	Janet stripped off her clothes, after having told 
Tina to keep her dinner waiting for a while.  She 
turned the shower up to hot, and jumped under the 
steaming water, letting the stinging water wash away 
her sweat and the sour odor of her perspiration.  
Soaping herself, she allowed herself the luxury of 
stimulating herself orgasm in the shower.  Which was 
something that she had ordered Jessica not to do.

	Her fingers massaged her sex, and her pussy hair, 
which had regrown since Andrea was no longer shaving 
it.  Tiffany had removed Erica's medallion, but not the 
labia ring that it had been attached to.

	She considered if she should order that Jessica 
should be shaved also as a measure of her submission to 
Janet.  When suddenly something clicked, and Janet 
froze, dropping the soap bar onto the bathtub's floor.

	"Idiot!" cried Janet, "Idiot!"

	Just because the rules said that they couldn't 
seek advice from the brokers that they had to deal 
with, didn't mean that they couldn't get it elsewhere.  
Lauren was probably advising Tiffany, since Myra had 
told her what she had seen in Lauren's house.

	Janet had been working by herself, alone and 
terrified while investing in the market.  When someone 
else could have helped her.  Like another broker, or 
Jessica.

	Jessica!  Here she had one of the wealthiest women 
in the country as one of her slaves, and she hadn't 
made the proper use of her.  Sure, Jessica had shown 
that she would lick her boots and pussy, and perform 
housework and endure the whip.  But would she serve as 
her advisor?

	Janet had learned at Erica's feet that the purpose 
of a slave was to serve her Mistress, no matter what 
the demand or circumstance.  Erica and later Stephanie 
had used her in many ways, but never intellectually.  
Perhaps it was time to start.

	Stephanie had once taken Janet to a party where 
the guests were all Dominatrices and their slaves.  She 
had met a wealthy woman who owned her own business, who 
had told her that her slave was also her girl Friday.  
Blanca may not have wanted to use a slave in her law 
office, but that didn't mean others would have the same 
prohibition.

	Quickly Janet got out of the shower, glad for the 
hot water that had reinvigorated her.  She toweled 
herself off, her skin still sweating from the sauna 
like conditions of the shower that she had just taken.  
After drying herself, Janet dressed in a blouse, jeans, 
and a pair of high heels.  

	'Not an elegant way to dress for dinner,' Janet 
thought, 'but I'll dress in something more fitting 
before Jessica arrives.'

	While she had barely been able to choke down 
lunch, she attacked the broiled scallops like she had 
not eaten for a week.  She drank sparingly of the white 
wine, since she had to keep a clear head with Jessica.  
Tiffany had consumed too much bourbon, and had fallen 
asleep with Tina locked in the cell.  Janet would do no 
such thing, and only drank the wine to enhance the 
meal, not to get drunk.

	Tina watched her Mistress eat, and smiled when she 
saw how Janet ate with pleasure.  Janet observed her, 
but kept silent about her idea for using Jessica.

	Sitting at the table, Janet pondered what she was 
going to do with Jessica.  In the several weeks that 
she had been training her as a slave, Jessica had been 
steadily brought along one step at a time.  She had 
been divested of her clothes, and forced to work 
alongside a Maid.  She had been punished with ever 
increasing severity with the whip and crop.  Jessica 
had also been ordered to contain herself, only being 
allowed to release herself upon Janet's orders.

	The result was that Jessica was slowly being 
turned into a slave. With Janet holding her strings as 
her puppeteer.  Question was, had she been brought far 
enough along to serve in this new capacity?

	Janet would find out tonight and order Tina out of 
the Dungeon at the crucial time.  She didn't want Tina 
to find out about this, not yet.  Not even Stephanie 
should know.

	"Thank you, Tina, that was an excellent dinner," 
complimented Janet.

	"Thank you, Mistress," Tina replied.

	"Is Tiffany gone?"

	"She left when you were in the shower, Mistress."

	"Excellent. Jessica will be here at 9 PM, so I'll 
dress myself before then.  The usual setup," ordered 
Janet.

	"Yes, Mistress," answered Tina as she collected 
the dishes.

	Just like the first evening when Jessica had 
arrived for her introduction to bondage, Janet was 
nervous as hell.  She had left Tina alone to dress in 
her latex uniform, so that she could be shown of to 
Jessica.  Meanwhile, Janet had to dress herself in her 
leather outfit, and she was shaking like a leaf.

	"Goddamn, Janet," she said aloud in front of her 
mirror, "a Mistress is supposed to be supremely 
confidant and a goddess.  Instead, you're shaking like 
a leaf.  So calm down!"

	Janet had decided on something simple, given the 
sudden heat of spring.  She wore a black leather 
bodysuit over a pair of pantyhose, plus simple pair of 
knee high boots.  Admiring herself in the mirror, she 
loved the way the bodysuit hugged all her curves.

	She had tried wearing her leather catsuit around 
the house recently, and discovered that it was already 
too warm to do so.  When she finally took it off, it 
was time for it to be cleaned.  Janet had not even 
bothered to wear her rubber catsuit, remembering the 
wrestling suit she had inherited from her brother.

	She would get by the summer by wearing things that 
would let her skin breath, at least partially.  Janet 
heard a car crunch on the gravel outside, and looked at 
the clock.  It was already 9 PM, and her charge was 
arriving now!

	Janet walked carefully from her bedroom and 
downstairs to the library.  Janet passed Tina in the 
hall, as she was going outside to collect Jessica from 
the limo.  It was a good thing that there was no 
carpeting anywhere in the mansion.  Walking in stiletto 
heels was dangerous enough already, and the sharp heels 
would eventually destroy the carpet anyway.

	She took one last look at herself in the library 
mirror, admiring her long legs. Then she seated herself 
in the large leather chair and waited for the night's 
activities to begin.

	Tina brought in Jessica, and through the open 
window Janet could hear the gravel crunch as the car 
pulled away.  Jessica was wearing a simple white 
blouse, skirt, and heels as Janet had ordered when she 
departed last Sunday.  If she had followed Janet's 
orders to the letter, then she would be wearing nothing 
underneath.

	"Remove her sunglasses, Tina," ordered Janet.

	"Yes, Mistress."

	When the glasses were removed, Jessica blinked her 
eyes in the sudden light.  She remained silent until 
her Mistress deigned to speak to her.

	"Good evening, Jessica.  I trust that you are 
eager to see your Mistress this weekend," said Janet.

	"Yes, Mistress Janet," answered Jessica.

	"Then remove your clothes and let me see if you 
have obeyed your instructions that I gave you on 
Sunday," ordered Janet.

	Jessica began by unbuttoning the sleeves on her 
blouse, then unzipping her skirt.  Janet nodded in 
approval when she saw that Jessica had indeed followed 
her orders, and wore no underwear.  Instead, her female 
figure was well striped by the accumulation of several 
weeks of Janet's discipline.

	"Very nice, Jessica.  In future, I may order you 
to wear something of mine on yourself permanently.  To 
remind you that I am your Mistress," described Janet.

	"May I ask Mistress a question?"

	"Go ahead," answered Janet.

	"What would you have me wear?" asked Jessica.

	"A locked chain around your waist, to start.  
Something that you couldn't remove yourself.  Then 
perhaps your labia might be pierced to contain a 
medallion proving your slavery to me.  You could even 
be tattooed or branded as a final mark of ownership.  
Would you like to do something like that?" asked Janet.

	"I don't know, Mistress.  I'm still pretty 
scared," truthfully answered Jessica.

	"Thank you for your honest answer, Jessica.  
Slaves aren't allowed to lie to their Mistress.  Tina, 
outfit her in collar, bracelets, blindfold, and 
ballgag," ordered Janet.

	Jessica stood silently as Tina placed the 
instruments of bondage upon her, standing stiffly and 
offering her limbs as the leather and steel enclosed 
them.  Janet watched quietly as her Maid took control 
of the situation, expertly confining Jessica into 
slavery.  Janet decided that next week Jessica would 
not even see her Mistress upon entering the house.  
Much as Erica had done with Janet by handing her over 
to Andrea upon entering her house.

	When Tina was done, she locked Jessica's wrists 
behind her back.  Then she made her kneel onto the 
small carpet, and a leash was attached to her collar.  
Tina then got a blindfold and ballgag from the desk, 
and in a few seconds Jessica was rendered without sight 
or speech.

	Janet noted that Jessica had eagerly opened her 
mouth when the gag was presented to her.  She had 
opened her mouth without hesitation and her lips 
enclosed the red rubber ball.  Jessica had gone from 
being reluctant about the gag to eager in just a few 
weeks.  She wondered just how much more eager she would 
become in the future.

	Tina had been ordered to take Jessica immediately 
to the Dungeon, then to be locked by her collar chain 
to the wall.  Then she was supposed to wait for Janet 
to arrive after a period of time, so that Jessica would 
be mad with anticipation to see her Mistress.

	Once Jessica had been led away, Janet relaxed.  
Tiffany was away, and Janet hoped that she wouldn't be 
interfering any time soon.  The only problem was that 
if she knew the identity of Janet's newest slave, which 
might cause problems later.

	The sudden electronic ring of the phone 
interrupted her thoughts.

	"Hello?" asked Janet.

	"Janet, hi, its Tiffany."

	"What's up?"

	"I'm calling to say that I'll be back on Monday.  
I'm going away with Lauren for a trip," stated Tiffany.

	"Thanks for calling," said Janet.

	"Bye," said Tiffany, and the connection were 
severed.

	Janet clutched the phone, convinced that finally 
the fates were on her side.  Her new slave, the market 
up and now Tiffany absent from the house.

	"My luck has to turn sometime," said Janet to 
herself.

	Janet let a full half-hour elapse, sure that this 
would be enough time to drive Jessica mad with desire 
for her Mistress.  She loved hearing the sounds that 
her heels made as they clicked on the wooden floor as 
she made her way to the Dungeon.  The sounds echoed 
through the huge house, like the sounds of a metronome.

	Jessica was kneeling on a piece of carpet, her 
collar chained to the wall.  She remained bound in the 
same way as she had been in the library.  Janet walked 
to a chair that looked like a throne, and sat down.  
She motioned for Tina to unlock Jessica and bring her 
over to Janet.

	Tina complied, all without saying a word.  Soon, 
Jessica was naked, bound, and kneeling before her 
Mistress.  Since she was blindfolded, she didn't know 
who was in front of her.

	Janet stood up, and placed her thumb and 
forefinger under Jessica's chin.  She made Jessica 
gradually raise her head, since it had been downcast 
towards the floor.  Then Janet began to play with 
Jessica's erect nipples, sometimes pinching them 
between her fingers.

	This had the effect of making Jessica moan from 
behind her gag.  Just to make her slave feel more 
helpless, Janet continued to pull and fondle her 
slave's breasts.  In time, Jessica became fully 
aroused.

	Since she had already been a slave for several 
weeks, she knew to keep her legs opened and her sex 
available.  Once, she had forgotten, and Janet had 
quickly and severely punished her with several stokes 
of the riding crop on her thighs.  This had left 
several red welts that had lasted a long time, and 
proved a good reminder in her training.

	Janet reached between Jessica's legs to her wet 
pussy, and began to fondle her sex.  Jessica moaned 
even more, and Janet pinched her clit just once.  This 
provoked a reaction whereby her entire body shook with 
desire.

	Janet knew that her training of this slave had 
been entirely successful.  Jessica Danvers may have 
been a wealthy society woman, but inside she was a 
slave to her desires, one of which was to be subject to 
a Mistress.

	Janet removed her blindfold, but not her ballgag.  
Jessica blinked in the sudden light, as Janet's Dungeon 
was kept well lit.  Dark Dungeons were for gothic 
novels in her opinion.

	"Good evening, slave.  I take it that you have 
been eagerly awaiting the pleasure of your Mistress," 
said Janet.

	Jessica nodded her head yes in reply, the rubber 
ball silencing her replies.

	"Perfect.  I can see by your body's reaction that 
you are ready to serve me."

	Jessica nodded again.

	"Excellent."

	"Thank you, Mistress," gasped Jessica when her 
ballgag was removed.

	"You're welcome, Jessica.  Now we can begin.  
Something with the paddle, first.  Just to soften you 
up and get you in the proper frame of mind," suggested 
Janet.

	Jessica was then locked over a leather-padded 
sawhorse.  Her ankles were secured by the D rings on 
her bracelets and locked to the legs on one side.  Then 
her torso was bent over the apex of the horse, and her 
wrist cuffs were similarly locked on the other side.

	The girl was quite vulnerable and exposed to what 
her Mistress would desire for her use and discipline.  
Her hair had been gathered into a ponytail at Janet's 
direction so that it would not interfere in any way.  
Janet did not want Jessica's view to be blocked, nor 
did she want Jessica to inhale her loose hair.  So she 
has told Tina to bind it up before Jessica had been 
placed on the horse.

	"Ready, slave?" asked Janet.

	"Yes, Mistress," meekly replied Jessica.

	Janet had a leather paddle in her hand, onto which 
she had sprinkled a few drops of water.  This had 
softened the leather, and would produce a nice sound 
when it impacted on Jessica's bottom.

	"Have you forgotten?" angrily demanded Janet.

	"Thank you, Mistress, for what I am about to 
receive," quickly answered Jessica.

	Jessica's reward was the first stroke with the 
paddle.  Janet had delivered a strong stinging blow 
that landed with a satisfying thwack on Jessica's 
behind.  Janet noted with approval how her buttocks 
shook with the impact, making them bounce up and down.

	"One," cried Jessica.

	Janet delivered another stroke, this time to 
another part of Jessica's behind.  It landed with less 
force than the first, but still reddened the slave's 
skin.

	"Two!"

	The third was placed right on the area between her 
ass cheeks leading up to her anus.  Janet knew that 
every time that Jessica would be sitting down for the 
next few days, she would be forced to think of her 
Mistress.

	"Three!"

	"Four."

	Janet only wanted to deliver enough strokes to 
make Jessica's behind red and sore, so that Jessica 
would have a reminder of the punishment that she had 
undergone.  Since this was the first time that Jessica 
had been bound over the horse, Janet had finally 
satisfied Jessica's curiosity about what the horse was 
used for.

	"Ten!" cried Jessica, the beginning of tears in 
her eyes.

	Janet felt Jessica's reddened behind.  The skin 
was warmed to the touch, and Janet knew that she had 
accomplished her goal without punishing Jessica too 
much.  Ten strokes with the paddle and a red behind 
were enough to introduce Jessica to the horse for 
today.

	"Thank you, Mistress," sobbed Jessica when no 
further strokes with the paddle were forthcoming.

	Next time, Janet would use her hand instead of the 
paddle.  This little change, from using an instrument 
to her own flesh, would show Jessica a certain intimacy 
with her Mistress that the impersonal leather did not 
possess.

	Janet did not have to explore Jessica's sex to 
know that she was already wet and excited.  She knew 
that even before they had started for the night.  No, 
Janet now had to make Jessica become ever more 
stimulated before she would be allowed to cum.

	"Tina, release her please," ordered Janet.

	When Jessica had been released from the horse, she 
stood in silence directly in front of Janet.  Janet had 
not ordered her to be placed into another form of 
bondage, but merely was waiting to direct her slave 
with a new and confusing order.

	"Jessica!" said Janet sharply.

	"Yes, Mistress," she quickly answered.

	"Since you have already been my slave for a fairly 
long period of time, in my opinion you are now ready to 
select your own punishment," said Janet.

	"Mistress?" asked a puzzled Jessica.

	"You may go to the cabinet and select the 
instrument that I will use on you next.  Just don't 
take all evening."

	Confused and baffled from Janet's latest order, 
Jessica walked uncertainly over to the open cabinet 
where the instruments of the Dungeon were located.  
Inside were all of the things that were meant to be 
used on a slave girl, at the choice of her Mistress.

	It was therefore quite strange that Janet would 
give her slave the choice of what would be used on her 
next.  It was quite a painful decision for a slave girl 
to have to make.

	Jessica would pick up and handle the whip, riding 
crop, flogger, and other instruments.  All of which 
Janet had used on her in the preceding weeks, as 
Jessica descended deeper and deeper into slavery.

	She finally chose a long sinuous black leather 
whip, one that had been used on her many times before.  
Janet had told Tina earlier to make certain that all of 
the instruments were to be cleaned and oiled for 
tonight, else Tina would have to endure a special 
ordeal.  Tina had obeyed, and all of the leather things 
within had been polished and shined under the lights.

	Jessica then removed the whip, walked slowly over 
to Janet, and knelt before her, presenting Janet with 
the thing that she had chosen.

	"Thank you, Jessica.  I'm that that I can make 
your choice of the whip worthwhile," said Janet.

	"Yes, Mistress," answered Jessica as Janet removed 
the coiled whip from her hands.

	"Tina, chain Jessica up from the ceiling by her 
wrists and lock her ankles with a spreader bar," 
ordered Janet, "I want her completely vulnerable to 
me."

	"Yes, Mistress."

	Janet sat down in her chair, and waited for Tina 
to complete her directed task.  She felt the whips 
surface on her fingers, enjoying the sensual experience 
of the oiled leather.  Tina had done an excellent job 
with the whip, and it was truly in excellent condition.  
Perhaps Tina would be its next target soon!

	Janet was in no hurry.  In comparison to Tiffany, 
who rushed through her discipline with her slaves, 
Janet knew that the longer the expectation, the greater 
the climax that the slave would experience upon 
release.  Which would please both slave and Mistress, 
and keep the slave coming back for more!

	Jessica was restrained from the ceiling with her 
wrist bracelets locked together, and her legs kept 
apart by the spreader bar.  She was totally exposed to 
whatever cruelties that her Mistress would desire to 
inflict upon her.

	Mistress Janet rose slowly from her chair, her 
long beautiful legs encased in black hose.  The skin 
from her waist to her feet was covered by the sheer 
weave, and showed every muscle of her lovely legs.  
Seeing herself in the mirror, Janet resolved that she 
wouldn't wear boots again so often.  Janet decided that 
she would display her legs from now on!

	The Mistress coiled the whip with her two hands 
and presented the handle of woven leather to Jessica's 
red lips.  Jessica kissed the handle without having 
been ordered to, since she already knew what Janet 
expected of her.

	"Thank you, Mistress, for the punishment that I am 
about to receive," said Jessica, as she restrained a 
sob.

	"You're welcome, slave."

	Janet uncoiled the whip, and delivered a mild 
stroke that curled around Jessica's exposed body.  The 
tip landed with a moderate impact, and when it struck 
Jessica's breast, she shook her head from side to side, 
trying to deny the emotions and feelings that the whip 
generated within her.

	"Thank you, Mistress!" cried Jessica.

	When Janet had been whipped for the first time, 
she had protested that nice girls didn't get whipped.  
True, Erica had pointed out.  Slave girls got whipped, 
and that was what Jessica had become by now.  Horrified 
and attracted by the discipline that she was now 
receiving from her Mistress.

	The whip struck again, with the tip landing 
between Jessica's breasts.  Jessica's reaction was to 
moan and cry.

	"Don't you want to count the strokes?" asked 
Janet.

	"No, Mistress," cried Jessica.

	"Would you rather be gagged?"

	"Yes, Mistress," Jessica begged.

	Deciding that it would be more personal if she 
gagged Jessica herself, Janet got the gag from Tina.  
She walked over to Jessica, and presented the object to 
her slave.

	"Is this what you want?" asked Janet.

	"Yes, Mistress."

	"Then you shall have it, slave," said Janet.

	Jessica opened her mouth, and Janet pushed the red 
rubber ball inside, drawing the straps around to the 
back of the neck.  Jessica bowed her head to assist 
Janet as the buckle was drawn tight and closed, with 
her bound hair nicely out of the way.  The rubber ball 
was deep inside her mouth, and Jessica would never be 
able to displace it.

	Janet had told Jessica the previous week that the 
pain and the pleasure of being whipped would be 
intensified if she wore the ballgag.  Jessica had 
remembered what her Mistress had told her, and desired 
the experience.

	Her discipline continued with a slow, steady 
series of strokes.  Janet wanted to insure that 
Jessica's entire skin would slowly heat up under the 
repeated impacts of the whip.  She was striking her 
charge with impacts barely hard enough to mark, but she 
knew that Jessica was experiencing both agony and 
ecstasy at the same time.

	Janet kept the pace of her strokes, pausing after 
every series of ten had been properly delivered.  She 
watched as Jessica's skin was slowly marked with a thin 
tracery of fine lines from the whip.

	"Enjoying yourself?" asked Janet.

	"Mmmmph!" answered Jessica.

	Janet decided to stop, and check on what she had 
accomplished.  Jessica's skin was warm to the touch, 
with an almost electric excitement pulsating through 
her body.  Jessica's nipples were fully erect and her 
sex was completely wet from her discipline.  The gag 
was having the effect of preventing her from begging 
for her punishment to stop.

	"Jessica, since you can't plead for mercy with the 
gag in your mouth, I'm going to give you a coin.  I 
want you to hold this in your fingers.  If the pain 
gets too intense, or I hurt you too much, I want you to 
release the coin.  Understand?"

	Jessica nodded her understanding, and Janet placed 
a dollar-sized casino token between the thumb and 
fingers of Jessica's left hand.  Jessica held the coin 
tightly, not wanting to release it by accident.

	With the gag still between Jessica's teeth, Janet 
then proceeded with her discipline.  As before, she 
began slowly.  Jessica's skin had not really cooled 
down, and she was charged like an erotic battery that 
her Mistress was in control of.  Janet would decide 
when she would discharge this particular battery!

	Janet delivered the next series of strokes with a 
little more force than the previous ones.  The marks on 
Jessica's body were more pronounced, and would last 
longer.  Surely Jessica knew that if her body were to 
be whipped longer, her marks would remain for quite 
some time.

	"Jessica," said Janet, "look at yourself in the 
mirror!  Are you sure that you want me to continue 
marking you with the whip!" demanded Janet.

	Jessica nodded her head yes in response to her 
Mistresses demand.

	"I hope that you're not planning on going on a 
cruise or swimming then, because your whip marks will 
be a little hard to explain," stated Janet.

	Jessica repeated nodding her head yes.

	"Then we shall continue, slave," said Janet 
coldly.

	Janet wondered just how Jessica must have been 
coping with her tribulation.  Jessica was still fairly 
new, yet she was now proving to Janet that she was 
capable of great endurance in accepting the whip from 
her Mistress.

	'Damn it,' thought Janet, 'drop the coin!'

	Janet suddenly placed herself back in Lauren's 
house, helpless as she was whipped into 
unconsciousness.  The room swayed and distorted, even 
though it was brightly lit.  She saw Lauren's leering 
sadistic face, then Sabrina and Myra.

	'Myra,' thought Janet, 'where are you now?'

	'Buy me please?' begged Myra, 'please?'

	Janet's nightmare was suddenly ended when she 
heard the sound of the coin dropping to the floor and 
giving off a sharp ring when it struck the stone floor.

	"Very good," said Janet as she struggled to regain 
her composure.

	Janet stopped her use of the whip, and realized 
that during the entire flashback to her ordeal with 
Lauren she had continued to whip Jessica like a robot.  
It had only been the sound of the coin falling that had 
stopped her from continuing to whip Jessica past her 
endurance.

	Before the evening had started, Janet had decided 
that she would torment her slave three times tonight 
before letting her finally cum in a rush of orgasms.  
But since Jessica had already undergone so much 
discipline already, and she was quite clearly ready, 
now was the time to let her release.

	"Tina, take her down and place our guest in the 
special chair.  Don't remove her gag just yet," Janet 
ordered.

	Jessica was placed on a special wooden chair, with 
a hole in the center.  It was on a special platform 
that was elevated over a foot off the floor.  Her 
wrists were locked behind her back, and her ankles were 
locked to the chair's legs.  Under the hot lights, 
Janet saw that her slave had taken a large amount of 
strokes.  Her skin was covered with the whip marks that 
she would carry for some time.

	It was now time to release the battery that Janet 
had been charging all night!

	Janet walked over to the cabinet and chose a 
modest sized white vibrator.  While the sex shops were 
full of monster dildos, they were only for show.  Using 
this on Jessica would make her slave eager to have one, 
once she had been wracked by orgasm after orgasm!

	"Ever use one of these?" asked Janet as she 
displayed the vibrator to her bound captive.

	Jessica shook her head from side to side, saying 
no.

	"Good.  Then I'm sure that you'll enjoy it, 
slave."

	Janet flicked the switch on, and felt the gentle 
buzzing of the vibrator.  She knew that since Jessica 
was now fully excited by her punishments, Jessica would 
experience a massive series of orgasms.

	Reaching under the chair, she pushed the white 
vibrator up through the hole inside Jessica's sex.  
Janet had to bend down to get under the seat so that 
she would have the leverage to insert the vibrator 
deeper inside Jessica.

	Once Janet had pushed it inside, Jessica instantly 
began to buck and moan.  Janet did not even have to 
thrust the shaft in and out, as Jessica would raise and 
lower herself onto the vibrator.  With Jessica already 
primed, the slave was quite ready and eager for 
release.

	Janet had found the chair in a storeroom, and had 
guessed instantly what it could be used for.  She had 
been disappointed that Erica had not used it on her!

	"Now!" ordered Janet as Jessica impaled herself on 
the plastic shaft.

	Jessica's body was wracked with pleasure as the 
waves of orgasms flooded over her, making her moan and 
cry from behind her gag.  She bit onto the rubber, and 
it's presence in her mouth helped to make the climaxes 
even more intense, since the power of speech had been 
removed from her!

	Janet thrust the vibrator again and again, each 
time making sure that her slave experienced one orgasm 
after another, until they began to come fewer and 
fewer.  Janet wanted her to be exhausted and to spend 
herself completely before she was released from the 
chair.

	Janet and the vibrator were unwinding all of the 
pent-up energy that Jessica had been keeping.  Finally, 
Jessica slumped in fatigue after she had climaxed again 
and again.  It was finally time, since Jessica had 
experienced the release that she had come to a Mistress 
for.

	"Tina, release her.  Jessica, I want you on the 
carpet, knees apart," ordered Janet.

	"Yes, Mistress," said Tina.

	Still gagged, Jessica kneeled on the carpet in 
front of the throne like chair.  Not certain about her 
hands, she placed them on her knees, awaiting further 
instructions from Janet.

	"Tina, could you leave us, please?" asked Janet.

	"Mistress?" asked Tina, surprise on her face.

	Every time that Tina had assisted Janet, she had 
been there the entire time, from beginning to end.  Now 
she was being asked to leave, and she couldn't 
understand why.

	"Tina!  Don't make me have to repeat an order 
again!" angrily said Janet.

	"Yes, Mistress," answered Tina, who turned on her 
heels and left the Dungeon. 

	'Tina I'm sorry I had to do that,' thought Janet, 
'but I'll explain after this is all over.'

	Janet stood up from her chair and walked over to 
Jessica, who knelt awaiting the next move of her 
Mistress.  Janet unbuckled the ballgag, and held it in 
her hands, wrapping the leather strap around her 
fingers.  The ball was wet with Jessica's drool, and 
glistened in the Dungeon's bright lights.

	"Thank you, Mistress," panted Jessica.

	"You're welcome, slave.  Did you enjoy your 
discipline tonight?"

	"Yes Mistress."

	"You know, you won't be able to go swimming in a 
public place with your skin like that," stated Janet.

	"I own a small island in the Caribbean where I 
vacation privately, usually without clothing anyway.  
Perhaps you would care to join me?" asked Jessica.

	"Thank you.  Your offer is most kind," Janet 
replied.

	"I could even have a small Dungeon built to 
satisfy your needs," offered Jessica.

	"I can dominate you without a Dungeon, just as I 
did with a girl recently in Manhattan.  One doesn't 
always need a Dungeon in the basement, you know.  Just 
a skilled Mistress."

	"Yes, Mistress Janet," answered Jessica.

	"In two of your last responses, you failed to 
address me with my proper title of Mistress.  Was that 
a deliberate omission, or just an accident?" asked 
Janet.

	"An accident, Mistress Janet, please!  Don't 
punish me again," plead Jessica.

	Janet knew that Jessica's skin and loins were on 
fire, and she was now ready for the request that she 
would make of her.

	"Slave Jessica," Janet began, "I know that you are 
one of the most prominent people in Greenwich.  You are 
in the society columns, and are from one of the oldest 
families in the nation."

	"You forgot to say that I am also one of the 
richest people in the area, Mistress.  Do you want 
something financial from me?" asked Jessica.

	"Beyond the gift that you agreed upon with 
Mistress Stephanie, no.  I have a quite different 
problem that I require help with."

	"I don't understand, Mistress?" answered Jessica, 
puzzlement in her voice.

	"I posses a certain financial account containing 
stocks the value of which must increased by a certain 
date, otherwise consequences of which would be 
disastrous to me personally.  Since you are an expert 
in the field of finance, I require the assistance of my 
slave to help me.  Will you do so?" asked Janet.

	Jessica was silent for a few moments before 
responding.

	"Why can't you merely add money to the account, 
Mistress?" asked Jessica.

	"For reasons that I cannot discuss, I can only 
withdraw, not add, money.  I have withdrawn nothing so 
far," said Janet.

	Suddenly the photograph of the diamond necklace 
that Tiffany had purchased came into her mind.  Tiffany 
must have been quite certain of her victory to cash in 
some of her gains to buy something like that.  She 
certainly could not afford it on the allowance that 
they were granted each month by Blanca and the will!

	"I think I understand, Mistress."

	"Will you help me?" asked Janet, who resisted the 
temptation to get down on her knees and prostrate 
herself in front of her slave.

	"Yes, Mistress.  I will serve as your advisor in 
whatever capacity you will need me," Jessica answered.

	"Thank you.  Can we meet at the Stone Bank in 
Greenwich at 10 AM Monday to begin?  I have my records 
stored there," said Janet.

	"Not at home, Mistress?" asked Jessica.

	"For reasons I cannot discuss, I can't keep my 
records at home," stated Janet, "and you must not tell 
anyone about this!  Not your family or friends, or even 
Tina.  It must be a secret between us," implored Janet.

	"Yes, Mistress," answered Jessica, "I shall serve 
you in any way that I can.  You said that you owned me 
totally, and you do.  Forever."

	'I hope so,' thought Janet, 'I hope you're right.'
	*		*		*			*		
	*
	Janet led Jessica to her bedroom, since it was now 
time for the slave to satisfy her Mistress.  Since 
Jessica had been a slave, Janet had edged her ever 
closer to the idea that one day she would have to 
service her Mistress.

	Janet angrily remembered that she had served 
Stephanie and not Erica first, when she had been loaned 
to the other Mistress during her training period.  She 
had longed to satisfy her Mistress, but that had been 
denied her, perhaps by design.  In her own training of 
new slaves, Janet had decided that they would serve her 
first!

	Leading Jessica up from the Dungeon by a leash, 
with Jessica's hands locked behind her, Janet was angry 
to find that Tina was not standing outside the door 
waiting for her.  Could she have been that mad?  Janet 
resisted the temptation to go and find her, since Tina 
was probably in her servant's room.  She had to 
continue with Jessica, since this would further bond 
her slave to her.

	Next week, when they would be in the house without 
Jessica present, Janet would punish Tina for her 
insolent behavior.  Janet would make certain that Tina 
would not misbehave again.  Even if she was not allowed 
to know what was really going on.

	"Come along, Jessica," said Janet as she pulled 
the girl along by her leash.

	When they arrived upstairs, Janet immediately 
unlocked the leash from Jessica's collar.  She then 
unlocked Jessica's wrists from behind her back, freeing 
her hands.

	"Use the bathroom and clean yourself," directed 
Janet to an empty bedroom, "make yourself ready for 
your Mistress."

	While Jessica cleaned herself in the bedroom next 
to Janet's, Janet entered her own.  She had expected 
that Tina would have cleaned Jessica up and prepared 
her.  Instead, Jessica had to do so herself.  This was 
no way for a slave to see another behave!

	After Jessica had indicated that she was ready, 
Janet led her into her bedroom and indicated that she 
should kneel on the floor.  Janet then locked her 
collar to a chain connected to the ringbolt set in the 
wall.

	Janet then placed her foot on a chair and first 
removed one of her high-heeled shoes, then the other.  
The she unzipped the leather bodysuit, and gently 
pulled the leather off, since it had conformed to the 
contours of her body.  Now standing only in her sheer 
pantyhose, she stripped them off slowly.  

	Janet went into the bathroom, and freshened 
herself.  She still had a faint aroma of the leather 
that she had worn for so long, and it clung to her like 
a perfume.

	Emerging naked, she removed a riding crop from the 
dresser drawer, and sat down on the side where she had 
chained Jessica.  Janet opened her legs, and held the 
crop in her two hands.

	"Service me, Jessica," ordered Janet, "or the crop 
awaits."

	Jessica promptly buried her face between Janet's 
legs, and Janet responded by opening her legs even more 
to accommodate the slave's ministrations.  Janet was 
surprised how eagerly Jessica meant to please her, as 
her labia and clit were sucked and tongued by Jessica.

	Janet tried to contain herself, but she was happy 
about everything, except for Tina's sulk, that had 
happened tonight.  She had enlisted her slave as an 
ally, and had whipped her into a sexual frenzy.  Now 
she was enjoying the fruits of her labors as her 
devoted slave was satisfying her in return!

	Janet moaned with pleasure as she first orgasm hit 
her, wondering just how Jessica had learned to satisfy 
another woman like that.  She had not asked her about 
her sexual experiences, which was something that she 
was supposed to do before it got this far with a slave.

	It was evident that Jessica was already 
experienced in this matter, and needed no additional 
training in how to satisfy her Mistress!  Janet cried 
with pleasure as she dragged her slave into her bed, 
and attacked her all night.  The next day, the sheets 
were a mess!
	*			*			*			*	
	The weather was warm outside the Stone Bank as 
Janet drove up in her Toyota.  She had worn a blouse 
with long sleeves and a denim skirt, plus a pair of 
normal high heels.  She looked at her watch and 
fretted.  Would Jessica really show up?  Janet wished 
she had a cigarette, but she had quit years ago.

	Jessica Danvers shortly drove up in a new blue 
Lincoln.  She was dressed in a smart business suit, and 
carried a purse and a briefcase.

	"Good morning," greeted Janet.

	"Good morning, Mistress," greeted Jessica.

	"Thank you for coming," said Janet.

	"I'm your devoted slave," said Jessica, "now can 
we begin?"

	"Yes, of course."

	They entered the bank and the safe deposit area.  
Janet withdrew her box, and they repaired to the little 
locked alcove to examine its contents.

	"Here's the current holdings," said Janet as she 
passed the list to Jessica.

	"Thank you, Mistress," said Jessica softly.

	Jessica looked at the list, reading over the 
individual stocks and the amounts that Janet possessed 
and their monetary value at the date of the latest 
statement.

	"This must be increased by a certain date.  Is 
that correct?" asked Jessica, "Mistress?"

	"Yes.  But I can't tell you why."

	"How long do you have left, Mistress?"

	"Less than three months," said Janet.

	"Then we'll just have to find better stocks for 
you to buy, that's all, Mistress," said Jessica, "I 
noticed an investment counter outside.  Mind if I get 
us some help?"

	"Go ahead," ordered Janet.

	Jessica opened the folding door, and motioned for 
the clerk.  She asked for the person at the counter to 
join them immediately.  The clerk made a call, and the 
person from the investment counter virtually ran to see 
them.

	"I need a complete price history on this portfolio 
of every stock for the last ten years, plus P/E ratios 
and any corporate news, good or bad, in the last year," 
ordered Jessica.

	"When would you like this?" asked the woman.

	"Yesterday," stated Jessica.

	The woman almost ran away from them to get back to 
her counter, the list firmly clutched in her hand.

	"You didn't tell her your name," said Janet.

	"I don't have to.  In Greenwich, everyone already 
knows me, Mistress."

	Janet realized that she may have held the power of 
the whip in her House, but here Jessica held the power 
of the purse.

	In minutes, the woman returned with a stack of 
laser printouts that were still warm to the touch.  
Jessica grabbed them, and opened a cellular phone from 
her purse.

	"Time to get to work, Mistress," said Jessica as 
she punched in some numbers.

	In all, they spent almost an hour in the bank 
together.  Nobody bothered them in the cubicle, and 
twice Jessica asked to use the bank's phone.  Janet was 
amazed that they let her make two long distance calls 
without protest.

	When they finally left, Janet had a list of stocks 
to buy and sell, and a great feeling of confidence for 
the first time since this nightmare had begun.

	"I'm impressed at the way they treated you there.  
Nobody asked your name, and you had the run of the 
bank's services.  Your name must really carry a lot of 
weight in Greenwich," said Janet.

	"More than that, Mistress," began Jessica, "did I 
mention that I was the largest stockholder in Stone 
bank?"

	Janet had to calm herself down before she drove to 
her broker with the new list.  Jessica was a type A 
driven personality, a ruthless businesswoman who 
controlled vast wealth.  Yet she found sexual 
fulfillment by submitting herself to a Mistress that 
kept her naked and in chains, doing the work of a 
domestic!
	*			*				*

	Tiffany and Janet sat together in the library, 
with Tiffany poring over Erica's book of slaves.  She 
leafed through the pages, seeing each girl's file and 
other information.

	"It's just a pity that we didn't find it sooner," 
said Tiffany.

	"Erica was rather clever about the way she hid it.  
You would think that she deliberately wanted us to wait 
nearly a year before we discovered it," ventured Janet.

	"There you go again.  Anyway, now that we've 
finally got the book, I'm going to see if I can find if 
any of these will serve me," said Tiffany.

	"You mean us, don't you," added Janet.

	"Not for long."

	"Whatever happened to that girl you were using, 
Denise?" asked Janet.

	"She couldn't stand up the rigors of being a 
slave," answered Tiffany.

	"Perhaps you were treating her too harshly at 
first," criticized Janet.

	"Bitch."

	"Thanks, Tiffany.  That's the nicest thing that 
anyone's said to me lately.  I'm going for a walk 
outside.  Please tell me if Lauren is coming over so I 
can hide the silverware.  Bye."

	Janet walked outside the library, closing the 
outside door before Tiffany, already angry, could throw 
something.  There was something different about her 
now, and the earlier confidence and arrogance had 
vanished.  Instead, she acted impatiently and often 
impulsively.  Just to annoy her, Janet had taken to 
watching the nightly financial news after the market 
closed.

	The garden was about the only restful place on the 
estate.  With an angry Tiffany and a jealous Tina, 
Janet felt pressured from all sides.  At least there 
was no pressure from Jessica and Stephanie.  Jessica 
had proven to be both a joy as a slave and an efficient 
financial advisor.  Her portfolio had grown, and 
everything was doing well.

	But at the same time, Tina had steadily grown 
jealous of the attention that Janet had been showing 
towards Jessica.  From that day when she had been asked 
to leave the Dungeon so that Janet could discuss her 
needs in private with Jessica, Tina had become 
progressively harder to handle.

	Walking in the garden made her realize that she 
had been neglecting Tina, when the girl actually wanted 
was both the attention and the lash of her Mistress.  
She had seen the look of envy on Tina's face towards 
Jessica when they were forced to work together in the 
house.

	Janet did not have anything planned for tonight.  
An earlier engagement had collapsed, leaving her with 
an opening for this evening.

	"Well, Tina, you wanted the attention of your 
Mistress," she said aloud to herself, "you've got it."

	Janet remembered an old saying that her parents 
had taught her: be careful what you wish for, you might 
get it!

	Dinner that night was a cold affair, at least in 
the beginning.  Tiffany and Janet had dined together, 
and much to Janet's surprise, suddenly took an active 
interest in the running of the House.  It was actually 
nice to talk to Stephanie, just like old times before 
Erica's legacy had actually divided them.

	Janet wondered what reason if any to use when she 
would drag Tina down to the Dungeon.  What Tina 
required was something more that just a few strokes 
with the riding crop.  No, this demanded something a 
little more intense that would serve to remind Tina 
that she belonged to Janet and would have to obey her 
orders.

	When Tina rolled in a trolley containing coffee 
and cake into the library Janet knew that it was now 
time to start the action with her maid.

	Tiffany was seated in a chair, idly using the 
remote control to flip through the channels on the 
television.

	"Come here, Tina," ordered Janet.

	"Yes, Mistress," replied Tina.

	Tina stood in silence in front of Janet, awaiting 
her next command.

	"Raise your uniform," coldly ordered Janet.

	Tina pulled the hem of her uniform upwards, to 
expose her bare behind.  Janet noticed that she did not 
have any recent marks on her.  Had she really been 
neglecting Tina that much?  No wonder Tina was feeling 
jealous!

	"Over my knee," ordered Janet.

	Tiffany had lost interest in the television, 
preferring to watch as Janet prepared to discipline 
Tina.  She clicked the remote off, and decided to stay.  
Since Tina was off limits to her, that was all she 
could do.

	Tina lay on Janet's knees, her upraised naked pink 
bottom ready for punishment.  Janet loved the feeling 
of power and control that she had over Tina, and she 
was sorry that she had been neglecting her.  Janet 
resolved that once this was all over, she would devote 
more time to Tina.  Providing that she was the victor, 
of course.

	"Would you like a paddle or crop?" asked Tiffany.

	"No thank you, Tiffany.  The flat of my hand will 
be quite sufficient," answered Janet.

	Janet began to spank Tina with a steady series of 
blows that made her bottom bounce with every impact.  
She wanted this spanking to merely be a prelude for 
later events in the evening.

	Tina's behind soon became red, and this immensely 
aroused Janet.  Janet felt the heat of Tina's punished 
skin as she continued the spanking.  Janet knew that 
the spanking had immensely aroused Tina, but she only 
wanted to take it so far.

	"Thank you, Mistress," cried Tina when Janet 
ceased suddenly.

	"You may get up now, and serve us coffee," ordered 
Janet.

	Tina stood up from Janet's knees, and pulled down 
the hem of her rubber outfit.  The she proceeded to 
serve both Janet and Tiffany as if nothing had 
happened.

	Janet noted that Tina seemed a little more 
attentive, a little more eager to please than she had 
been in several weeks.  She resolved to keep a crop 
nearby to give Tina the occasional stroke to remind her 
of her place in the House.

	"Had some fun?" asked Tiffany.

	"I believe that I've been neglecting her lately.  
That will change," said Janet.

	"Good," agreed Tiffany.

	When Tina had finished doing the dishes, she was 
startled to find Janet waiting silently behind her.

	"Mistress!" cried Tina, "I didn't know you were 
there."

	"Perhaps you should be more attentive next time," 
answered Janet.

	"Yes, Mistress."

	"I want to see you downstairs in the Dungeon 
tonight at 9 PM, naked and waiting for me on the 
carpet.  Do you understand?"

	"Yes, Mistress," replied Tina.

	"You've been a bad girl lately, and don't think I 
haven't noticed.  It's time that I started to correct 
your behavior," stated Janet.

	"Thank you, Mistress," Tina answered.

	"Good," said Janet as she departed.

	Janet decided to wear the rubber dress that she 
had bought on her city trip, months ago.  Janet pulled 
it on, and zipped herself up in the mirror.  True, it 
would be hot and sweaty inside.  But that would only 
make her more driven to put Tina in her place.

	"You look very nice," offered Tiffany.

	"Thank you," replied Janet, "are you going out 
tonight?"

	"No, I was planning on staying in.  I see that 
you're already dressed for the evening."

	"Yes."

	"I won't join you in the Dungeon.  After all, 
two's company, and three's a crowd," said Tiffany.

	"Thank you," answered Janet.

	"Have a nice time," said Tiffany, "I'm going to 
have a bath."

	"Enjoy yourself," replied Tiffany as she walked 
towards her own bedroom.

	Janet could not contain her desire by the time 
that she entered the Dungeon.  On the small circular 
carpet was Tina, naked and kneeling.  Her hands rested 
on her opened knees, and Janet could see that Tina had 
been expecting her.

	"Good evening, Tina," greeted Janet.

	"Good evening, Mistress," said Tina in return.

	"I've been very disappointed in you lately, Tina.  
Ever since Jessica has come into this house, you've 
been jealous of her.  Though to your credit, you 
haven't abused your privilege with her by unnecessarily 
using the crop.  That has to stop, and stop now!"

	"Yes, Mistress Janet."

	Because of that, I'm going to have to give you a 
little punishment that you'll never forget, so that 
you'll remember that you are one of my slaves also."

	"Yes, Mistress, please?"

	"Please what?" asked Janet.

	"Punish me, Mistress."

	"I want you to collar and bracelet yourself, since 
by the time we leave here, your skin is going to be 
covered in stripes."

	Tina rose and opened the cabinet where she had 
stored the things that Janet had mentioned.  In a few 
moments, she had locked then upon herself, as Janet had 
ordered, and was again kneeling on the carpet.

	"Hold out your hands," Janet ordered.

	Tina did so, and Janet locked the wrist cuffs 
together.  Then she pulled Tina to her feet, over to 
the waiting horse.  This was a different one than the 
padded one that she usually used.  This one was quite 
sturdy, made of solid wood in the shape of an A.  In 
the center, sticking up from the polished dark wood, 
was a rubber dildo.

	"I want you to climb up onto the horse, and you 
know where to place the dildo," ordered Janet.

	Tina did as she was instructed, throwing her leg 
over the wooden surface while she climbed up onto the 
horse.  Her entire weight would be resting on her sex, 
which would be impaled by the dildo.  Tina raised 
herself up, then slowly lowered herself upon the erect 
shaft.  She moaned when it entered her sex, while she 
seated herself on the horse.

	"That's good, Tina," said Janet.

	Janet locked Tina's wrists together behind her 
back, then locked her ankles to chains on either side 
of the horse.  Then she unlocked Tina's wrists in 
front, then locked them again behind her back to a 
ceiling chain that hung nearby.  The chain was 
connected to a motor in the ceiling, so that when Janet 
activated it, Tina was slowly pitched forward.  This 
increased the weight on her sex, pushing the dildo 
deeper within her.

	"Ooooh!" Tina cried.

	Janet then removed a crop from the cabinet, 
flexing it with her two hands.

	"Thank you, Mistress," said Tina

	"Thank me afterwards, when your skin is red and 
pained," cautioned Janet.

	Janet began to strike Tina with the crop, the 
small tip at its end leaving a small red mark wherever 
it landed.  Tina, held fast on the horse, could only 
moan whenever the crop struck her.

	She next struck at the outside of Tina's legs at 
first.  Then she gradually moved upwards, striking 
Tina's breasts.  Each stoke left a red mark, and made 
her breasts bounce a little, and Janet found that very 
attractive.

	Bound as she was, Janet did not want to strike 
Tina so hard that she might lose her balance.  Rather 
Janet wanted Tina to remain on the horse, with her sex 
invaded by the dildo.

	Janet did not have to check if Tina was wet.  That 
was obvious by the way she moaned when the crop struck 
her flesh.  Tina was now being properly punished for 
the first time in months, and Janet realized the 
mistakes that she had made!

	"Enough," stated Janet, once she was satisfied 
that Tina was now ready for her next ordeal.

	Janet placed the crop under her arm as she 
unlocked Tina from the horse.  Perhaps she should have 
used the horse last, rather than as the first item of 
punishment.  Regardless, when Tina dismounted the 
horse, her flesh was already marked nicely.

	The dildo was wet, and reflected the Dungeon 
lights.  Janet had prepared for this, and had brought a 
small basin of water and a wash cloth with her.

	"Tina, clean yourself, but you are not allowed to 
cum!" ordered Janet.

	"Yes, Mistress, ohhhh!" cried Tina when she placed 
her hand into the water.

	As a further vexation, Janet had filled the basin 
with ice cubes and water, so that it was quite cold.  
Janet knew that this would put out the fires in Tina's 
loins quite fast!

	Tina cleaned herself without protest, and Janet 
roughly inspected her to make certain that she had done 
a good job.  Her cunt was clean of her juices, and the 
skin was cold to the touch.  Tina moaned when the warm 
fingers of her Mistress probed her sex.

	"Very good, slave," said Janet approvingly.

	"Thank you, Mistress."

	"And now the whip," stated Janet.

	Tina stood unemotionally as Janet secured her 
wrists and ankles to spreader bars that would make her 
vulnerable to discipline.  Her bare feet were standing 
on the stone floor, as Janet had not ordered her to 
wear shoes this evening.

	"I do love you," said Janet.

	"Yes, Mistress," answered Tina.

	Then Janet struck with the whip, stroke after 
stroke landing on Tina's already punished skin.  Janet 
did not even try to direct the whip, letting it fall 
wherever it would.  Instead, she wanted it to leave 
stripe after stripe on Tina's figure.

	The whip wrapped itself around Tina's curves, and 
Janet remembered that she had not whipped Tina so hard 
for quite some time.  Just for effect, she cracked the 
whip against empty air, like some western movie.  But 
she would always return to using the whip on Tina, 
making her moan and cry within her bonds.

	"Thank you, Mistress," cried Tina when Janet 
temporarily stopped.

	"You're welcome," said Janet.

	Janet removed a small metal box from the cabinet.  
She walked over to Tina, and opened the box for her 
slave to see inside.  Tina moaned when she saw the 
contents.

	"Clamps," said Janet.

	Janet first applied one to Tina's right nipple, 
making her moan.  When the other was fixed onto her, 
Tina moaned again.  Janet then applied two more, onto 
the outer lips of her sex.  Tina reacted violently, 
shaking her chains in protest.

	To further test her, Janet then inserted two of 
her fingers inside Tina's slit.  The girl was wet 
again, just like she had been on the horse!

	"You're a real bondage slut," said Janet.

	"Yes, Mistress," agreed Tina, "I'm a bondage 
slut."

	"What do sluts like you deserve?" asked Janet.

	"To be whipped, Mistress," cried Tina in response.

	"Very well," said Janet as she again picked up the 
whip.

	The experience of being whipped while the clips 
upon her breasts and sex drove Tina to even greater 
heights of agony.  Every time that the whip struck her 
flesh, Tina moaned with both agony and ecstasy at the 
same time.

	Janet continued, carefully counting the strokes, 
never hitting hard enough to break the skin.  Pausing 
to touch Tina's skin, she found that the whip warmed 
her slave's skin.  Janet carefully counted each series 
of strokes, wondering when Tina would use up her 
capacity to absorb discipline.

	Tina would long carry reminders of this night on 
her skin and hopefully in her soul, thought Janet.

	Just before Janet was going to stop anyway, Tina 
suddenly cried out.

	"Mercy, Mistress, please, mercy!" sobbed Tina.

	Tears ran down Tina's cheeks, streaking her 
makeup.  Her body was thoroughly covered by a fine 
tracery of welts that the whip had left behind.

	"Very good, Tina.  Now you may kiss the whip," 
ordered Janet.

	"Thank you, Mistress," said Tina as she carried 
out Janet's orders.  Her lips embraced the whip handle 
as even as tears continued to flow from the corners of 
her eyes.

	"I don't want to have any further trouble with 
you, nor do I want you to be jealous of Jessica.  Do 
you understand?  Or I shall be forced to use more 
extreme measures," threatened Janet.

	"Yes, Mistress," cried Tina.

	Janet then took Tina upstairs, and let her clean 
herself properly.  Then she took her into her bedroom, 
and used her violently for the rest of the night.  
There was a riding crop on the night table, and Janet 
did not hesitate to use it whenever she felt that Tina 
was not being wholly attentive to her.

	Finally, she fell into a satisfied sleep, with her 
slave girl on the bed next to her, her collar chained 
to the wall as usual.
	*			*			*			*
	"The most recent choices have done well, 
Mistress," said Jessica.

	From the small safe deposit cubicle, Janet and 
Jessica had moved to the banks meeting room.  On the 
table was a pot of hot coffee and croissants, and the 
papers were organized into neat rows.

	Janet rubbed her eyes, hoping that she was ahead 
of Tiffany.  There wasn't much time left, just two 
weeks till the anniversary of Erica's death.

	"Thank you, Jessica.  This just has to run its 
course," said Janet.

	"Yes, Mistress," answered Jessica.

	"Could I be left alone here for a while before we, 
before I," Janet corrected herself, "deliver the final 
orders to the broker."

	"Yes, Mistress," answered Jessica as she left her 
seat and closed the door behind her.

	Janet fled into the bathroom, and closed the door 
behind her, just in time for a torrent of tears.

	"Why, Erica, why?" cried Janet to herself.

"Janet in Training" by sfmaster@worldnet.att.net
Chapter Twelve: Two Days till Doom

	"When was the last time you slept?" demanded 
Stephanie.

	Janet sat behind Erica's desk, large circles under 
her eyes.  She had called Stephanie over, and now she 
couldn't remember the reason.

	"I don't know," answered Janet.

	"Tina!" called Stephanie, "Tina!"

	"Yes, Mistress Stephanie," answered Tina when she 
almost ran into the library.

	"When was the last time that Mistress Janet 
slept?" Stephanie asked Tina.

	"Three or four days ago, Mistress," answered Tina.

	"Is this Mistress Tiffany's doing?"

	"No, Mistress Janet had kept herself awake with 
coffee and pills."

	The television was tuned to the financial channel, 
and Janet sat, watching the numbers go by on the 
screen's bottom.  Her eyes had long since ceased to 
react to anything that flashed across the screen, and 
she looked tired and exhausted.

	"Has she had any stimulants in the last eight 
hours?" asked Stephanie.

	"No, Mistress," answered Tina.

	"Good."  

	Stephanie had ceased to carry her medical bag with 
her over the years since she had stopped practicing, 
but ever since the two incidents at Janet's house, she 
now would always take it with her.  She walked over to 
her bag, removed a hypodermic needle and a vial of 
liquid.  Janet watched her dumbly from her chair, not 
comprehending what Stephanie was doing.

	"Is Mistress Tiffany around?" asked Stephanie.

	"No, Mistress.  She will return tomorrow morning," 
answered Tina.

	"What are you watching, Janet?" asked Stephanie.

	"Doomsday."

	Stephanie suddenly swabbed Janet's skin with an 
alcohol patch and then injected her with the needle.  
Janet was so weak, she didn't even attempt to resist.

	"What the?" asked Janet.

	"Nighty night," answered Stephanie.

	Janet was swallowed up by a sudden tide of 
darkness, and peace for the first time in days.  Her 
head slumped to the desk, and the world receded from 
view.
	*			*			*			*
	"Good evening," greeted Stephanie.

	Janet looked outside her bedroom window, and saw 
that it was night.  The summer crickets were making a 
racket, and the smells of summer came from the open 
window.

	"How did I get here?" asked Janet.

	"What you needed was sleep," said Stephanie, "so I 
knocked you out for a few hours.  Do you feel better?"

	"Yes, thank you."

	Janet rubbed her eyes, and saw the contents of her 
purse lying on the dresser, next to the binder where 
she had catalogued all of Erica's documents, one year 
ago!  Including the cell phone that had saved her life 
six months earlier.

	"You know, don't you?" accused Janet.

	"Yes.  After we took you upstairs, I went through 
your purse and I found these papers," indicated 
Stephanie.

	"I must have forgotten to remove them when I saw 
Blanca three months ago," said Janet.

	"Then I found Erica's little book in the desk.  
Very interesting reading.  I never knew that Erica 
could be so devious," stated Stephanie.

	"In two days," began Janet, "a limo will arrive in 
the morning to take Tiffany and I to Blanca's office.  
She will read the codicil to Erica's will, which will 
say that the winner of the stock market contest will 
inherit Erica's estate.  Which will include the loser, 
who will become the victor's slave."

	"Why didn't you tell me?" demanded Stephanie, "now 
that I know what all of this has really been about?  
God, from the very first night when Tiffany tried to 
place you in the Dungeon to Lauren's nearly killing 
you.  I'm amazed that you haven't broken under the 
strain until now."

	"Maybe I finally did," answered Janet, "Tina?"

	"Yes, Mistress."

	"Could you get me a drink, please?" asked Janet, 
stirring under the sheets.

	"Yes, Mistress."

	"Icewater, Tina," ordered Stephanie, "no 
stimulants of any kind."

	Janet drank her glass and sat up in bed, propped 
up by two pillows.  Her mind was clear, her body 
partially rested.

	"Leave us, Tina," ordered Janet.

	"Mistress, please, I want to stay with you," 
begged Tina.

	"Does she know?" demanded Janet.

	"I didn't read all of those papers myself," 
Stephanie answered.

	Janet exhaled, and tried to decide what to do 
next.

	"All right, Tina, stay.  Because now Stephanie and 
I have to discuss your future, not mine," said Janet.

	"Janet?" cried Tina, "what do you mean?"

	"If Tiffany wins tomorrow, then not only will I 
become her slave, but you will be also.  Tiffany 
associates with Mistress Lauren, who believes that the 
only way to get total obedience from her slaves is to 
punish them past their breaking point.  You saw what 
she did to my back."

	"Yes, Mistress."

	"One of her slaves, a girl named Myra met me in 
Greenwich, and told me that Tiffany was being advised 
by Lauren, and that she was ahead.  Myra begged me to 
buy her, crying in public.  That's when I asked Jessica 
to help me as an investment advisor, and not just a 
slave.  She's been doing so for the last three months."

	"Is that why you ordered me out of the Dungeon, 
Mistress?" asked Tina.

	"Yes."

	"I'm sorry.  I didn't know, I was just jealous," 
cried Tina.

	"If I lose, and I don't really know who may be 
ahead, then you'll be Tiffany's slave.  I can't let you 
become the property of a dangerous and cruel Mistress 
like what Tiffany has become.  I can accept my own 
bondage, but not yours.  Therefore, I release you Tina, 
long before your contract to me expires," calmly 
explained Janet. 

	"No," cried Tina, "I want to stay with you always, 
no matter what."

	"No, you stupid fool.  I release you and all your 
obligations to me.  If you won't leave, Tina, then I 
give you to Stephanie.  She will be a far better 
Mistress to you than Tiffany or Lauren," ordered Janet.

	"Yes, Mistress," tearfully answered Tina.

 	"Tonight, both you and Stephanie must leave, so 
that I can spend tomorrow alone with Tiffany.  Just as 
we started one year ago.  The next day we shall go to 
New York, and then we shall know who will be the 
Mistress in this house," lectured Janet.

	"You've become a far better Mistress than Erica 
could ever have imagined," answered Stephanie.

	"That's just exactly why I have to release Tina.  
You don't deserve a Mistress like Tiffany, and 
especially Lauren," said Janet.

	"I don't want to leave you, Mistress," cried Tina.

	"You saw what happened to my back, and the scars 
that I still have?  Do you want to be a slave to a 
Mistress that can inflict that kind of punishment, 
Tina?  I don't think so.  So go, both of you.  I came 
into this thing alone, and that's the way I'll have to 
face it in thirty-six hours," said Janet.

	"You shouldn't be here alone with Tiffany," 
cautioned Stephanie.

	"Why?  She wouldn't hurt me now.  She's just a few 
hours from possibly getting exactly what she wants, 
namely the House and me.  If she did something now, it 
would endanger that chance.  Everything is now out of 
our control, and in the hands of the gods," added 
Janet.

	Stephanie and Tina both sat on Janet's bed, 
staring at her.

	"Now go, damn it!  Both of you!  One year ago, 
Tiffany and I started in Erica's house alone, and 
that's the way we're going to finish.  Whatever happens 
in Blanca's office is our respective fate."

	"If you win, Mistress Janet, I'll be back," said 
Tina, tears in her eyes.

	"Keep your fingers crossed, both of you," ordered 
Janet, "because hope is the only thing that I've got 
left."

	After they had both departed, Janet allowed 
herself a single small sherry.  She tried to relax on 
an easy chair back in the library, wishing that she had 
not sent Stephanie and Tina away after all.

	On the footstool was the newspaper, which she had 
not read for days, even though Tina faithfully put it 
on her desk each morning.  Janet opened it, hoping that 
it would get her mind off her situation.  A red 
advertising insert fell out, and Janet had to pick it 
up from the floor.  On the cover was a sale of board 
games, including Conquest.

	"Oh, god!" screamed Janet, her voice echoing 
through the house.

	Suddenly, everything returned in a flash of 
memories.  Erica's death, Janet with Tiffany in her 
apartment.  Knocking over Conquest in the closet, then 
Janet bragging how good a player she was when they 
picked up all the pieces off the floor.  Six months 
later at Lauren's house, her little "game" of Conquest 
to decide who would use the slave.

	Myra, already used past her safeword.  Lauren 
wanting to continue, and Janet taking Myra's place.  
Whipped nearly to death, then the horrible drive home, 
and the painful recovery.

	"I was set up," sobbed Janet in the empty house, 
"Tiffany wanted me to die, with Lauren's help."

	Her night was mostly sleepless, filled with 
nightmares of death and suffering.
	*			*			*			* 

	Janet spent most of the next day waiting for 
Tiffany.  Incredibly, her companion did not return 
until shortly before dinner.

	"Greetings," said Janet as Tiffany entered the 
foyer.

	"Hello.  Where's Tina?"

	"Gone.  You can put your jacket in the closet 
yourself," directed Janet.

	"Where is she?" asked Tiffany as she hung her 
jacket in the closet. 

	"I released her from my service, and gave her to 
Stephanie," Janet answered.

	"Why did you do that?" asked Tiffany.

	They were both interrupted by the sound of a bell 
from the kitchen.

	"Dinner is served," said Janet.

	It wasn't until they were both seated at the table 
before a roast beef that they could continue talking.  
Tiffany had helped Janet bring everything to the table, 
and did not question her further until the dinner was 
on the table.

	"Why such a grand meal?" asked Tiffany as she 
sipped at a red wine.

	"Last meal, and all that," answered Janet, "one 
year ago, you called me to your apartment and cooked 
dinner after Erica's death.  Now it's my turn."

	"Thank you," said Tiffany as she speared a piece 
of meat and placed it into her mouth.

	"I thought that we should have one final dinner, 
together alone by ourselves.  I hope that you haven't 
asked someone to join you here tonight," said Janet.

	"No.  I wasn't sure just what I'd find here, so I 
came alone," Tiffany answered.

	"Good."

	"Why did you send Tina away?" asked Tiffany.

	"Because I didn't want her to fall into your hands 
or Lauren's, that's why.  She doesn't deserve to have a 
cruel Mistress like you've become," stated Janet.

	"I'm sorry.  I'm sorry for everything, from that 
first night we inherited the estate to today."

	"Tiffany, we have to take responsibility for our 
actions.  Your being sorry doesn't absolve you from the 
scars on my back or placing Tina in danger either.  
That's what being a Mistress is all about, not just 
using slaves for our own sexual gratification," 
lectured Janet.

	"I guess you're right," Tiffany answered.

	"No, you know I'm right," said Janet, "now let's 
finish eating, do the dishes, and get some sleep.  I'm 
exhausted, and I want to have a clear head tomorrow."

	Somehow, Janet had expected that Tiffany would 
join her in her bedroom that evening.  Instead, she 
remained alone, listening to the sounds of the night.  
She placed her arm behind her back, feeling the scars 
that Lauren had placed there.  In her dreams, she 
wondered if others would soon join them.

	The next morning, Janet took a hot steaming 
shower, almost at sauna temperature.  She had seen home 
saunas, and had whistled at the price.  Janet resolved 
that if she should win, she would spend the five 
figures and have one installed in the house.

	The hot water washed away the fatigue, and made 
her sweat away the tensions that had developed in her 
body for several weeks.  Finally, she knew that this 
little respite had to end, so she stopped the water, 
and exited the tub.  She toweled herself off, and 
decided that now wasn't the time to give her an orgasm.  
No, it was time to be serious.

	After her shower, Janet walked to the bedroom to 
dry herself off.  When she removed the short terry 
kimono robe, she saw the scars on her back reflected in 
the mirror.  The stigmata of her encounter with Lauren.  
It seemed incredible that she had been nearly been 
whipped to death and survived the nightmare.

	Janet dressed, and chose a conservative business 
suit, one that she had worn to work before.  She set 
her hair, wishing that she had Tina's help this 
morning.  Still, she had done it all of her life before 
she had a servant, so why should she become a helpless 
fool now?

	When she entered the kitchen, Janet was surprised 
to find that Tiffany had chosen to wear a suit also, 
except that Janet's was blue and Tiffany's was black.  
They looked alike.

	"I ordered out for croissants," said Tiffany, "I 
didn't think that a heavy breakfast would be such a 
good idea."

	"Thanks."

	They ate a simple breakfast of juice, black coffee 
and croissants in the kitchen, like two high powered 
female executives on the go.  They both stared at the 
clock, watching the time tick away towards 9 AM.

	Tiffany stowed the dishes in the sink, just before 
the limo arrived.  They both carried leather briefcases 
and Janet reflected that hers had been a gift from her 
firm for good service.  She looked at the battered 
black leather as she placed hers by her feet.

	They were driven into the city on time, after rush 
hour had ended.  The large Cadillac had been expanded 
to contain a TV and bar, and could seat several on 
leather upholstery.  Instead, it was used just to 
transport the two women to Blanca's office.

	"Thank you," said Janet as the exited the limo.

	"I've been told to wait to take you back to 
Connecticut," said the female chauffeur.

	"Thank you," said Tiffany, also.

	They rode the elevator up in silence, and were 
ushered in Blanca's office, each taking a seat.  Blanca 
hadn't arrived yet, though it was already 10 AM.  Janet 
fidgeted uneasily in her seat, the tension building up 
her.

	"Good morning, ladies," greeted Blanca when she 
entered her office.

	"Good morning," both Janet and Tiffany said in 
unison.

	"Coffee?"

	They both nodded.

	"Three black coffees, please," ordered Blanca 
after she pressed the intercom switch.

	Her secretary shortly dropped off a tray 
containing three cups, and placed in on Blanca's desk.  
Janet now noted a wedding ring on the third finger of 
her left hand.

	"Georgie, please make sure that we're not 
disturbed, period.  Short of one of the senior partners 
calling, I'd like to be left alone with these two 
clients," Blanca ordered.

	She then departed, closing the door behind her.  
The atmosphere in the room was electric, and both Janet 
and Tiffany were seated like statues.  Blanca passed 
around the coffee cups, and took a seat in her leather 
chair.

	"I've known Erica Riken a long time," began 
Blanca, "as a good friend, a Dominant, and a client.  
She wanted to test how two of her best slaves would 
react if they were to inherit her estate, so she had 
planned to just give it to you anyway and start a new 
life."

	"However, she had the foresight to make up a will 
doing the same thing if she should suddenly die by 
accident.  Sadly, that was what happened when her plane 
went down in Mexico, killing her and Andrea."

	Blanca then removed four envelopes from her 
briefcase, displaying them to her two clients.

	"This is the codicil to Erica's will, and three 
identical statements from the brokers you were ordered 
to use.  Even I don't know the contents, as Erica had 
instructed the information to be collected and sealed 
before I picked up the envelopes this morning.  Which 
is why I'm late."

	Blanca tore open one of the envelopes, and 
proceeded to read its contents:

	"I, Erica Riken, being of sound mind and body, do 
reaffirm the conditions that I specified in document 
423 for a competition between my heirs Janet Davis and 
Tiffany Gray.  Whoever has the greater value in their 
portfolio shall be the sole inheritor of my estate, and 
all my possessions.  Signed Erica Riken."

	"Would you like to see it?" asked Blanca.

	"No, that won't be necessary," said Janet softly, 
"please proceed."

	Blanca then handed out identical manila envelopes 
to both Tiffany and Janet, and all three occupants of 
the office sat, staring at each other.

	Tiffany tore open hers, and that was the signal 
for Blanca and Janet to open theirs.  Inside were two 
reports, with a cover sheet, and a complete listing of 
their portfolio, containing every transaction that they 
had made over the previous year.  All three leafed 
through the reports, finally coming to the last page.

	"No!" cried Tiffany, "No!  I was ahead.  Far 
ahead!"

	"You were," said Blanca, "Except that you got 
greedy.  You wanted to extend your lead, perhaps to 
show off how good you were.  But those futures 
contracts you bought two weeks ago put you under when 
they went bad, placing you just five thousand dollars 
behind Janet."

	"No," sobbed Tiffany.

	"I therefore award the entire estate, and one 
slave, Tiffany Gray to Mistress Janet Davis, who has 
fulfilled the conditions as specified by the late Erica 
Riken," said Blanca.

	Janet relaxed in her chair, the months of tension 
and pain finally leaving her.  She sighed, happy that 
the Sword of Damocles that hung above her had been 
lifted, by a chance occurrence.

	"Do you have a bathroom?" asked Tiffany.

	Blanca pointed to a door, and Tiffany ran inside.  
They could both hear the sounds of retching from 
within.

	"That doesn't happen often in a lawyer's office," 
pointed out Blanca, "only with the big cases."

	"Thank you, Blanca," said Janet.

	"Do you want to retain me as your lawyer?" asked 
Blanca.

	"Of course," said Janet, "that will be perfectly 
satisfactory."

	Once Tiffany had finished, she returned to her 
chair in silence.  Her eyes were downcast, her makeup 
smudged.

	"If that's everything, I do have a busy caseload 
today," said Blanca.

	"Thank you," said Janet as she stowed away the 
papers in her briefcase.

	Janet rose and shook Blanca's hand.

	"Come, slave," Janet said to Tiffany, "time to go 
home."

	During the ride back, Janet read the reports, 
finding that Tiffany indeed had been doing better all 
along.  It was only after that she had started to use 
Jessica for her advisor did her portfolio improve for 
the better.

	Tiffany sat in stunned silence, a dazed expression 
on her face, her body wracked by occasional spasms of 
tension.

	When the limo exited the parkway, Janet asked the 
driver to stop off someplace else before they reached 
home.  Tiffany was surprised to hear Janet order them 
to go to Lauren's House!

	Entering by the gate, the limo pulled up in front 
of the door.  Janet ordered Tiffany out, and they 
walked up the stairs.  Janet told Tiffany that she 
wanted her to walk in front of Janet.

	"Tiffany," greeted Lauren, "what a surprise."

	"Yes, Lauren."

	"I see that you've brought Janet.  I told you that 
you'd win, and now Janet is your slave to use.  Good, 
I'm sure that she can hardly wait to continue where I 
left off before," taunted Lauren.

	"But I didn't win," cried Tiffany, "Janet did.  By 
just five thousand dollars, thanks to that gamble you 
told me to take!"

	"It's all here in black and white," said Janet, "I 
won, and Tiffany here belongs to me, not the other way 
round."

	"Tiffany, I'm sorry," said Lauren.

	"I should slap you for what you did to me," said 
Janet, "but I'm not going to give you the satisfaction.  
I just hope that you will learn how to properly use a 
slave girl, not just beat them into submission.  Come, 
Tiffany."

	In the car, Tiffany turned around and watched as 
Lauren's estate receded in the rear view mirror.  There 
were tears falling from her cheeks.

	When they arrived back at Erica's, now Janet's 
House, Janet threw her case on the library floor.  She 
felt like she could fly!  But there were other things 
to do, first.

	"Tiffany," ordered Janet.

	"Yes, Mistress," quickly answered Tiffany.

	"I want you naked, wearing nothing but collar, 
bracelets, and high heels.  Use the set that Erica had 
made for you, with your name on the leather collar," 
Janet ordered.

	"Yes, Mistress."

	"Then I want you to report back here.  And I want 
that little trinket that you bought for yourself, that 
expensive diamond necklace.  I have a particular use in 
mind for it," ordered Janet.

	While Tiffany was preparing herself, Janet called 
Stephanie on the cell phone, and she was overjoyed to 
hear the news.  Stephanie offered to drive over 
instantly, but Janet turned her down.

	"Give me about three hours," said Janet, "there's 
a chore that I have to perform first."

	When Tiffany had returned to the library, she was 
outfitted as Janet had ordered, and she was carrying 
the necklace also.  Tiffany still looked dazed and 
shocked, not knowing what would be expected of her 
next.

	"How much is that necklace worth?" demanded Janet.

	"Fifty thousand dollars," answered Tiffany.

	"Had you not purchased the necklace, you still 
would have won," stated Janet.

	"Yes, Mistress."

	"I'm not ready yet to take you downstairs to the 
Dungeon and whip you till you call for mercy.  But I 
will start here," said Janet, "now get on the 
footstool, slave."

	Tiffany did as she was ordered, and lay quietly as 
Janet secured her elbows and knees to the footstool.  
She cinched the coils tight with two strands that went 
between Tiffany's limbs and the wood.  Tiffany was now 
bound quite effectively to the footstool.

	After placing a ballgag in Tiffany's mouth, Janet 
made sure to roughly fondle Tiffany.  Janet pinched and 
pulled at Tiffany's breasts, and then fingered her sex.  
Tiffany squealed under Janet's harsh attentions.  Janet 
had not used her since the time when she had nearly 
killed Tina.

	"I hope that you can get used to the idea that I 
am now the Mistress in this House," said Janet, 
"because I shall be a far better Mistress to you than 
either you or Lauren would have been to me."

	Tiffany merely grunted, her words muted by the 
ballgag.  Janet saw the look of fear in her eyes that 
were directed at her.

	"In my time as a Mistress, I have always let the 
slave have her choice of safeword.  That was something 
I learned from Erica.  However, I must choose for you, 
given our paths to this point.  Your safeword shall be 
mercy, since that was denied me when your friend Lauren 
nearly whipped me to death almost six months ago.  You 
will be spared the agony and suffering that that I 
endured.  Remember that every time I use you," coldly 
lectured Janet to her bound captive.

	Even though she was still wearing the business 
suit, Janet placed the necklace around her neck and 
closed the clasp.  Janet admired herself in the mirror.

	"Looks nice, Tiffany.  Pity it had such a huge 
cost," said Janet, "but I've never really had an 
interest in such things.  Frankly, it still looks 
better on you."

	Janet removed the necklace and placed it around 
Tiffany's neck.  The image of her, naked and bound to 
the footstool, a leather collar around her neck while 
wearing an expensive diamond necklace, was one of the 
strangest that Janet could have ever devised!

	"Tiffany, since you still wear the ring through 
your labia, I've decided that I'll make a similar 
medallion to the one Erica made for you.  Except that 
it will read Tiffany, property of Mistress Janet.  Just 
so that you will remember who your Mistress is."

	"Mmmmmph!" grunted Tiffany in response.

	"I'm now going to begin to punish you with the gag 
in your mouth, so that you will not have a chance to 
plead for mercy.  I hope that will give you a small 
example of how I felt when Lauren was whipping me and I 
was unable to plead for mercy, and my life."

	Janet began, not with a paddle or crop, but just 
with her naked hand.  After all, she had all the time 
in the world.
	*			*			*			*
	Three hours later, Stephanie arrived with Tina.  
Janet had finished with Tiffany, and had locked her in 
the cell downstairs.  Tiffany had taken her punishment 
well, and her behind was a deep shade of red and the 
flesh was very warm to the touch.  Halfway through, 
Janet had removed her ballgag and given her the 
opportunity to plead for mercy.  Instead, Tiffany had 
stoically taken her first session with Janet as her new 
Mistress quite well.  It was evident that she would 
have trouble accepting her new position as Janet's 
slave, and Janet would have to deal with that problem 
later.

	It was a joyful reunion, unlike their parting just 
two days earlier.  Stephanie folded her arms around 
Janet, and they danced together, planting kisses on 
each other.  Tina had knelt in front of Janet, tears in 
her eyes.

	"I'm so happy for you Mistress," cried Tina, "I 
said that I'd be back."

	"Thank you.  Both of you," tearfully answered 
Janet.

	Janet dragged them inside, and they split a bottle 
of wine that had been in the refrigerator.  A year's 
worth of tension was slowly being released.  It didn't 
matter that Tina was a slave, and Janet poured a glass 
for her and directed her to sit in a chair, not kneel 
on the floor.  Janet remembered waking up from the 
fever, and the first person she had seen was Tina, 
tears in her eyes.

	"Just to bring you two back to reality, just 
remember that Tina is my slave," stated Stephanie, "but 
I'm sure that we can come to some kind of arrangement." 

	"I think that will be the first order of business 
in my proper position as Mistress of this House," 
answered Janet.

	Janet related the story of how they had gone to 
New York City, and Janet had won.  Then she told of 
their trip to Lauren's, and Janet was pleased in 
describing the look of defeat on Lauren's face.  
Finally, she told of her punishment of Tiffany, who was 
now locked downstairs in the cell.

	"A good day," observed Stephanie.

	"No, Mistress Stephanie.  An excellent day!" said 
Tina, a smile across her face.

	"Thank you.  Both of you," Janet answered, tears 
of joy in her eyes.

	After Stephanie had departed, and Tina had been 
restored to Janet, they went downstairs to the cell.  
Tiffany was resting, and she quickly rose to her feet 
when she saw her Mistress outside the cell door.

	"Kneel slave," ordered Janet as she unlocked the 
cell door.

	Tiffany knelt, and Janet and Tina entered the 
cell.  Tiffany waited her hands on her opened knees.

	"Tina, this slave is for your use in maintaining 
the house.  You may train and use her as you see fit, 
but never abuse her or allow your use of her to 
interfere with your chores.  Do you understand?" asked 
Janet.

	"Yes, Mistress," Tina answered.

	"Good.  Tiffany, do you understand also your 
position here, or do I have to beat that into you?" 
demanded Janet.

	"No, Mistress," tearfully answered Tiffany, "I'll 
obey Tina's orders as I do yours."

	"Good.  Then maybe you've finally learned 
something," said Janet.

	Janet lay alone in bed, still amazed at the day's 
events.  It still seemed like a miracle that she had 
won, that she was Mistress and Tiffany her slave.  In 
spite of knowing about the plot between Lauren and 
Tiffany, Janet had held her tongue.  Even though she 
had confronted Lauren, or when she had Tiffany at her 
mercy, Janet had remained silent.

	Nor had she told Stephanie or Tina, holding 
herself quiet, instead letting the joy of the moment 
overtake the deadly knowledge of what she knew.

	'I'm going to have to keep Tiffany constantly 
chained, or in the cell,' thought Janet, 'until I can 
exchange her for Myra.'

	Returning from a trip to the bathroom Janet found 
Tina kneeling naked at her bedside on the wooden floor.

	"May I join you, Mistress?" asked Tina, her hands 
behind her head, her body on display.

	"Yes, Tina.  And thank you," answered Janet. 
	*			*			*			* 
	Weeks later, Janet was attending to some paperwork 
when Stephanie had been invited over.  When her friend 
entered the library, Janet rose and kissed her.

	"Good afternoon," said Janet.

	"Thank you," Stephanie answered.

	"You said over the phone that you had something 
for me?" asked Janet.

	"Yes, a letter from a Mistress Monique in 
California."

	"Who's she?" asked Janet.

	"I've met her once," said Stephanie, "very 
mysterious woman.  She is on the East Coast, and will 
see you tomorrow.  Sent me this letter to give to you."

	Janet was passed the envelope, which was a very 
expensive piece of stationery.  Her name was on the 
front, and a large M was the monogram on the envelope 
flap.  In addition, there was a wax seal with her 
initial also.

	"Quite mysterious," agreed Janet, who placed the 
envelope on her desk.

	"How is it running the house?" asked Stephanie.

	"Fine.  I just still can't believe it," Janet 
answered.

	"Drinks, Mistress?" asked Tina as she pushed a 
tray into the library.

	"Yes, Tina, thank you," answered Janet, "can we be 
alone?"

	"Yes, Mistress," said Tina before she closed the 
library doors.

	"Sometimes I can't get rid of her," stated Janet, 
"and if I punish her, she only comes back for more."

	"Such problems," agreed Stephanie.

	Even though Janet had won the estate, she had 
still given Tina to Stephanie.  So Tina was still 
Stephanie's property.  So Janet had "leased" her back, 
until her term of contract with Stephanie was over in 
six months.  Tina was required once every two weeks to 
spend a day with Stephanie, and Janet noted that she 
came back with a few new stripes every time.  After six 
months, Tina would again wholly belong to Janet.

	"There's a favor that I have to ask you.  Could 
you train Tiffany for a while?" 

	"Sure, but why?" asked Stephanie.

	"Because she already dislikes you, and I would 
like to get her out of the house for a while.  It would 
be a great favor to me.  I want you to take her this 
afternoon, please?" asked Janet.

	"Certainly, but how severe do you want me to treat 
her?"

	"Make her uncomfortable, and be sure that she is 
wearing that necklace at all times," specified Janet.

	"Why, its worth a fortune," observed Stephanie.

	"True.  It's just another reminder to Tiffany 
about the price of her folly," said Janet.

	What nobody else knew was that the necklace that 
Tiffany was wearing was a fake.  The real one was in 
Janet's safe deposit box at the Stone bank in 
Greenwich.  Janet had had one specially made up, and 
had substituted them one day.  So the object around 
Tiffany's neck was a fraud, of little value!

	Janet watched Stephanie drive away later, with 
Tiffany cuffed in the front passenger seat next to her.  
It was going to be nice to be alone with Tina for a 
while.  The letter from Monique had been forgotten 
until well after dinner.  She was just about to open 
it, when the phone rang.

	"Hello?" asked Janet.

	"This is Monique.  Have you read my letter?"

	"I'm just opening it now."

	Dear Mistress Janet,
Let me introduce myself.  I am Monique, from 
California.  I have been requested to deliver a special 
package to you tonight.
								M

	"I've just read it," said Janet.

	"Good, I'll be over in ten minutes," said Monique.

	When Monique arrived, she was in a large black 
limousine.  The driver was female, and she helped her 
passenger to remove a bound woman from the back seat of 
the car.

	The woman was harshly bound, and totally helpless.  
Her head was encased in a red discipline helmet that 
was laced up in the back.  Her chest was bound into a 
corset, that pulled her waist tightly in.  Her wrists 
and ankles were braceleted, with her wrists locked 
together and a hobble chain linking her ankles.

	"Greetings, I am Monique," said her guest.

	"Please come inside," said Janet.

	"Sorry, but I cannot stay.  I shall return within 
three days, when I shall pick her up again.  You may 
have the use of her during that time."

	"Thank you," said Janet, as she watched the limo 
quickly depart.

	How mysterious!  Janet walked the bound woman 
inside, and conducted her into the library.  Monique 
had handed her an envelope, with some papers saying 
that the slave's name was Alana Peters.

	Janet, after reading the papers, stood up and 
removed the discipline helmet, after unlacing it from 
the rear.  She pulled the helmet off from the front, 
and a rubber phallus gag with an air hole was removed 
from the slave's mouth.

	"Mistress Erica!" cried Janet.

	"Janet.  How good to see you," said Erica.

	Janet sank to her knees in front of Erica, 
sobbing.

	"There now, Janet.  I'm not really dressed for the 
way you're treating me, so stand up.  You're the 
Mistress, now," said Erica.

	Janet unlocked Erica's wrists, and removed the 
hobble chain.  Still wearing the corset, Janet invited 
her to sit behind the desk, but Erica declined.

	"That's your desk now, not mine.  I'm just your 
guest here, your slave.  I was happy to hear that you'd 
won, not Tiffany, who would have made a bad Mistress."

	"I could have lost!  I nearly did, if Tiffany 
hadn't gambled on a futures contract.  You were a cruel 
Mistress in devising something like this," said Janet.

	"Fate itself can be a capricious and cruel 
Mistress.  Remember that!  You and Tiffany were locked 
in a great struggle, and you prevailed.  Where is she, 
by the way?"

	"Stephanie is training her," answered Janet, "I 
felt it would be better for her to be trained by 
someone else, not me."

	"Good, I only wanted to see you anyway."

	"Isn't faking your death a crime?" asked Janet.

	"It is provided fraud is committed.  There was no 
large life insurance policy on me, there were clearly 
designated heirs, and taxes were paid."

	"But you gave me your estate?" protested Janet.

	"Did you really think that this was my entire 
estate?" laughed Erica, "no, Erica Riken was just one 
identity of mine.  And Alana isn't my real name, 
either.  Fact is, you'll never know just who I really 
am.  That's why I kept such a low profile, even if I 
was rich.  And you should too."

	"What are you doing now?" asked Janet.

	Erica held up her left hand, and on her third 
finger was a simple gold wedding band.

	"Married?  You're married?  You left this life to 
get hitched?" questioned Janet.

	"It was time to start something new.  My husband 
knows of my former life, and he doesn't care.  And 
that's all I'll say about it.  Which brings me to the 
purpose of my visit.  You may use me for three days, 
and then return me to Mistress Monique.  In any way you 
wish, for I'll be your slave."

	"I don't know what to say," answered Janet.

	"Say yes, and use me, Janet.  As you would any 
other slave girl.  Just refer to me as Alana, not 
Erica.  And I don't want to be seen by Tiffany, either.  
I'm still dead as far as she's concerned."

	"Yes, Mistress."

	"You are the Mistress now, Janet.  Always remember 
that, and never forget what I have taught you."

	Janet used Alana for the three days that were 
given her.  The only other person who saw her was Tina, 
who had never met Erica before her death.  Janet 
whipped her harshly in the Dungeon, making her scream 
and beg for mercy.  In the evenings, she would take 
Alana to her bed, and use her there also, a dildo and a 
crop at her side.

	The first night that Janet had used Alana, Janet 
used her former Mistress harshly.  She made certain 
that her whip would leave red marks on her skin, and 
that she would scream out her submission.

	That night, in her bedroom, Janet relentlessly 
continued her punishment of Alana, using the riding 
crop on her back over and over.

	"Mercy, Mistress Janet, mercy," Alana plead.

	"No!" said Janet, madness possessing her to 
continue cropping Alana.

	In spite of Alana's plea for mercy, a strange 
madness possessed Janet to continue using the crop on 
the slave's back, delivering stroke after stroke.  
Finally, flecks of blood appeared on Alana's back as 
the skin was broken, and the crop's tip was colored 
red.

	"Mercy," cried Alana, "mercy!"

	"No!" screamed Janet tears falling from her eyes. 

	"Show me your back, Mistress Janet!  Or are you 
Mistress Lauren?" demanded Erica, her voice and persona 
changing.

	"No!  I'm not Lauren!" cried Janet.

	"Then why are you behaving like Lauren?"

	Janet fell to the floor, sobbing as she dropped 
the riding crop.  She covered her eyes with her hands 
trying to contain the tears.  Erica's mention of Lauren 
reopened the memory of her suffering months before.

	"Before you strike my back again, show me yours!" 
ordered Erica.

	Janet tearfully unzipped the PVC top that she was 
wearing, which exposed her arms, but covered the rest 
of her upper body.  She dropped it to the floor, and 
continued kneeling before Erica, who had managed to 
stand up after her beating.

	"You knew," cried Janet, "you knew all along."

	"Yes."

	"Why didn't you ask me in the library?" asked 
Janet.

	"Because it had to come in it's own way.  Because 
you had to beat me and refuse my call for mercy while 
you striped my back.  Yes, I heard about what Lauren 
did to you.  How you took the punishment of a slave who 
had been used beyond her breaking point, and paid a 
terrible price for it.  I was very proud when I heard 
about a new Mistress who observed all the rules, acted 
wisely and coolly.  I knew that you had learned 
everything that I had taught you," said Erica.

	"Why does Lauren hate you so?" sobbed Janet.

	"We were both slaves together, then became 
Dominants at the same time.  There was always something 
vicious and evil about her, and when she advanced to 
Mistress, she forgot the responsibility that we hold," 
answered Erica.

	"No!  There's more, tell me all of it!" Janet 
demanded.

	"Lauren discovered an excellent slave, one that 
wanted to be trained and serve a Mistress.  But she 
abused her, and punished her severely.  I rescued the 
girl, and made her my slave instead."

	"Tiffany?" asked Janet.

	"No, Stephanie."

	"Stephanie?" Janet repeated, dumbfounded.

	"Yes.  That's why she hates you, Stephanie, and 
myself.  She was always angry that I took Stephanie 
from her, and probably one day vowed revenge.  
Stephanie was a superb slave who learned quickly, and 
who had excellent qualities.  She advanced from slave 
to Mistress in just a few years," Erica recalled.

	"Why did Lauren want to kill me?" sobbed Janet.

	"To Lauren, you represented me," continued Erica.  
"That was why when you surrendered to her, Lauren 
finally had her chance to punish me, with you as my 
surrogate.   You never knew that when you took that 
slave's punishment in her place.  What was her name?"

	"Myra."

	"Then you must do all you can to free her from 
Lauren's grasp," directed Erica.

	"She also met me later in Greenwich.  She told me 
that Lauren was advising Tiffany, and that Tiffany was 
ahead in the stock market," answered Janet.

	"You have to free her, Janet."

	"Yes," sobbed Janet, "I swear I will, Erica."

	"I know you will, Janet," answered Erica.

	"Why, Erica?  Why did I have to go through such 
hell?" questioned Janet.

	"As my newest and last slave," Erica began. "I 
felt that you had as much right to my legacy as one of 
my older ones. Tiffany has been one of my slaves for a 
long time.  But I had no idea that she was probably 
serving Lauren, my enemy, as well."

	"Erica, Tiffany and Lauren were conspiring 
together from the very beginning after your death.  The 
night after you died, I went to Tiffany's apartment.  I 
knocked over a game, Conquest, in her closet.  I 
boasted how good I was.  Six months later, at Lauren's, 
we played Conquest, and I won easily.  I was set up, 
since Myra had already been used.  When I met Lauren 
before, she knew that I disapproved of her methods, and 
I would be forced into taking Myra's place."

	"Then you must trade or sell Tiffany to Lauren in 
exchange for Myra."

	"I have to.  I certainly can't keep Tiffany in my 
House," agreed Janet.

	"I could not have imagined that you would have had 
to face Lauren," said Erica, "she must have made you 
suffer horribly on my account."

	"I wanted to die," bluntly stated Janet.

	"But you survived, Janet.  There are many 
responsibilities that you will have as Mistress, both 
good and bad.  You will be holding a person's very life 
in your hands, and you will be responsible for it."

	"That was what I told Tiffany the night before the 
codicil was read," Janet answered.

	"Then you have learned what your role as a 
Mistress is really about, not just providing yourself 
with sexual satisfaction."

	"But why the contest, Erica?"

	"I had to find some way of testing the two of you, 
something that you could not control.  Something that 
would test you to your very limits of endurance.  But I 
never thought that you would be tested almost to the 
brink of death.  I'm sorry Janet, but the life of a 
Mistress isn't always going to be a happy one.  You 
learned harder and faster, than any slave or Mistress 
ever had to.  You will make a fine Mistress, Janet.  
You have learned everything that I taught you, and 
deserve to inherit my legacy."

	Janet buried her face in her hands and sobbed, 
tears flowing from her eyes, droplets running down her 
hands and cheeks.

	"Thank you, Erica.  I'll always remember you," 
sobbed Janet.

	"I know you will, Janet.  I know you will," 
answered Erica. 

	When Monique came to pick up Alana, Janet watched 
the limo pull away, then ran to the library to cry.  It 
took her an hour to regain her composure, as she had an 
appointment with Stephanie that afternoon.

	After lunch, she drove the BMW to Stephanie's 
House.  She saw that Camille was exercising Tiffany 
outside.

	"You wanted to see me?" asked Stephanie.

	"Alone, and in the library," said Janet.

	"Sure."

	Before they seated themselves, Stephanie had 
gotten them a glass of white wine.  Janet enjoyed the 
aroma in her glass.

	"You don't want Tiffany back yet, do you?" asked 
Stephanie.

	"No, that's not why I came here."

	"What about that package that Monique brought 
over?" questioned Stephanie.

	"Just a slave that needed some additional 
training, that's all.  But I have two more serious 
matters to discuss."

	"Go ahead," said Stephanie, taking a sip of her 
drink.

	"I want to buy Myra from Rene and Lauren.  I owe 
her that much for telling me about Lauren and Tiffany, 
and trade her for Tiffany."

	"Risky.  If Lauren finds out that's it you that 
wants Myra, she won't sell and Myra will be horribly 
punished.  We'll have to find a Mistress who will help 
us and disguise her real reasons for buying Myra.  What 
else?"

	"I also want to go back to that plastic surgeon 
you brought me to and get my back fixed.  It's time 
now, and I no longer have to wear the stigmata of my 
beating by Lauren."

	Janet sat back in her leather chair, enjoying the 
feel on her bare legs.  Finally, after her year of 
trial, her test and ordeal was over.  It was time to 
properly begin her life as a Mistress, just as she had 
been trained.

Epilogue

	Janet relaxed behind her desk in the library, 
warming her fingers on the steaming mug of coffee that 
she was holding.  She watched, as the snow outside the 
windows became progressively heavier.  Having just 
returned from two weeks in the Bahamas, Janet had 
managed to arrive home the day before a blizzard 
struck.

	Tina had awakened her, and they had shared a nice 
breakfast together.  Then Tina had to attend to her 
chores, and Janet to assume her role as Mistress of the 
House.  Afterwards, Janet had adjourned to the library 
to work on the mail and other paperwork required in 
running the estate.

	Janet had taken her coffee mug and a thermos 
pitcher of black coffee with her.  Running her estate 
was lengthy work, and would require plenty of coffee to 
keep her going.

	The radio was droning quietly about the forecast 
that at least thirty inches of snow were coming, and 
Connecticut was going to be snowed in.  It was a good 
thing that Janet always took a couple of days to rest 
after a trip before resuming her normal schedule.  
There was nothing on her calendar except for dinner 
with Stephanie, which would have to be canceled.

	Glancing outside, she saw that the snow was 
already drifting onto the library windows.  It was 
inches deep by now, and the storm was just getting 
started.  So Janet knew that she was going to be house 
bound for a few days.

	"Damn!" said Janet aloud to herself.

	She had marked the date in red ink, and Janet 
suddenly realized why.  It was the third anniversary of 
the day she had been nearly fatally whipped by Mistress 
Lauren, in her revenge against Erica.  She had wanted 
the anniversary each year to be marked by a private 
dinner with Stephanie, to thank her for saving Janet's 
life.

	Even though it had been two years, Janet had never 
told Stephanie about Erica's secret or how Lauren and 
Tiffany had plotted to kill her.  There were some 
things that were better kept quiet, which was something 
else that she had learned from Erica.  Though they 
often shared a bed together, and Janet longed to 
confess to someone about what she knew, Janet still 
stayed silent.

	Janet wondered what would have happened to her 
life if it had snowed on that night and she and Tiffany 
had not gone to Lauren's party.  Would events have 
turned out differently?  Would Tiffany now be sitting 
in the chair, and Janet in the Dungeon?  Or was the 
agony that Janet suffered necessary for her to win 
Erica's competition between them?
 
	Her back had been fixed, and the physical scars 
removed.  It had been a painful process, but nothing 
like the agony she had suffered when inflicted by 
Lauren.  She remembered how she had wanted to scream 
and plead for mercy, but Lauren had buckled a ballgag 
in her mouth.  Then Janet had been whipped severely, 
far beyond just drawing blood.  Janet knew that she 
would have begged Lauren for her life, but that had 
been denied her by the gag.

	Janet was now a successful Mistress, with plenty 
of eager and willing slaves to please her.  She had 
learned from both Erica and Stephanie, and was regarded 
as a superb Dominatrix and her advice sought by others. 

	It had taken Janet and Stephanie six months to 
create a scheme to trade Tiffany for Myra, which had 
succeeded.  Now, Myra was one of Janet's most devoted 
slaves, and would do anything for her.  Meanwhile, 
Janet wondered just what sort of miserable life that 
Tiffany must be leading as Lauren's slave.  Would she 
someday meet Tiffany somewhere, begging for Janet to 
buy her?

	Finally, Janet started on the mail.  She sorted 
through the bills, ads, and organized it into neat 
piles.  However, there was a standard business envelope 
with no return address on it.  It had been printed on 
an ink-jet printer, with her name and address.

	Janet opened the envelope, and unfolded a single 
sheet of paper, which also contained a newspaper 
article about a fatal car accident.  Janet didn't 
recognize the name of the victim.

	But tears did come when she read the letter:

	Dear Janet,
	I trust that you are well, and things are working 
well for you in your life as a Mistress.
	I'm writing to inform you of Erica's death in a 
traffic accident, which happened a few days ago.  
Enclosed you will find an article about her death.  
After Erica and I "died" in the plane crash, I started 
a new life also, as a Mistress in my own right.  Erica 
did not want me to contact you, feeling that you had to 
establish your own life.  I am happy to hear that you 
have done a good job of it.
	Erica always loved you, deeply.

									
	Andrea

	Below her name, Andrea had written a phone number, 
as an afterthought.  Janet decided that she would call 
later in the day.  Andrea was no longer bound by 
Erica's orders, nor was Janet.

	During her brief three-day visit two years 
earlier, Erica had been alone in the library.  In a 
book of Japanese poetry, she had outlined a poem in 
red, then placed a bookmark on the page.  Janet had 
stumbled across it months later, on the first 
anniversary of her beating by Lauren.

	Janet read:
	
	You only live twice:
	Once when you are born,
	And once when you look death in the face.1

	Janet had seen death in Lauren's face, and she 
would always remember it.  But why did Erica have to 
die, and not Lauren?  Fate was unfair, just as Erica 
had said it would be.

	Watching the snow pile itself into silent drifts, 
it seemed a peaceful and fitting day to learn that 
Erica was really gone.  Janet reflected on the events 
that led her to this point quietly, before she resumed 
her duties as Mistress of her Estate.

Training"
