A Lord's Appetite

[Anansi]

Ignatius was in a foul mood as he arrived at the manor. Moving had been a chore that he had not desired in the least. Now he stood in the foyer of his new home thoroughly disgusted with the staff as they were. They were a bit too free for his tastes, having previously bought people he awaited his slaves impatiently. They were brand new and to be delivered promptly. His gunmetal watch gleamed in the light of the setting sun as he tossed back his fiery red hair and looked to it. His black eyes narrowed when he saw the time, he despised lateness. His muscular frame bristled with fury within his suit. It hugged him like a second skin showing a body well built through years of training. Eventually he undid his tie and walked inside not content with waiting like a servant himself. Throwing himself across a plush arm chair he growled softly.

Looking about the room opposite the foyer he noted that his furniture had been scuffed in one place by a clumsy mover and it irritated him further. He could have been described as attractive even with his scowl, his square jaw and high cheek bones contrasted slightly with his plump lips and almost effeminate nose. Standing he stalked over to the table with the scratch on the leg and brought his fist down upon it splintering it like matchwood. "Where are they."

 

[Nothing_Is_As_It_Seems]

A strong knock came at the front door. A men stepped into the manner, pulling a young girl behind him with a leash. She was dressed in a very frilly but morbid black and wine red dress. The corset of the dress hugged her curves tightly and made her hips seem wider, giving her a dramatic hourglass figure. The dress was short, it only went a few inches below her waist the fabric clung tight to her thighs. Her long black hair was tied into pigtails that curled like a corkscrew. Around her neck was a choke collar and the Tall man dressed in a suit and mask held her leash. "Master Ignatus, here is your new slave. I apologize for the delay. Your other slaves are bringing in their things." He replied as he walked toward Ignatius and handing him the leash. "I hope you will be pleased with her. As promised she is still a virgin in all the sense, all we have done is broken her mentally." He explained and bowed to Ignatius. He snapped his fingers, a signal for the new slave.

The new slave simply curtsied, bowing her head low. "It is a pleasure to serve you Master..." She said in a small and soft voice. After she straightened up from her curtsy, she stood straight and held her hands in front of her. Her head still bowed and her eyes cast down. Obviously she had been trained well in submission, she would not even look at her master without explicit permission.

 

[Anansi]

"What sort of businessman can't even be punctual?"Ignatius simply snapped in reply before standing. Now with others to compare to it could be seen he was rather tall. His hawkish eyes stared down at the men before he sneered. "Show them to their quarters then." He snapped. "I'll inspect them later." Without ceremony once the girl was done with her curtsey he gripped her chin forcibly and lifted her head to look into her eyes. He then forced his thumb between her teeth and parted them easily. Holding a small flashlight in his other hand he inspected her teeth, seeing that they were not damaged he released her. Strolling around her he sighed softly. "Rather young looking, do you take me for a pedophile?" He asked before his hand shot out. He gripped the chest of her dress and lifted her by it easily before pushing her back and tearing it from her.

Once she was stripped her looked her over again before sudddenly lifting her by her throat and examining her thoroughly including probing the his fingertip into her orifices before he dropped her once more. "She is suitable." He said before he tossed the man a bag that clinked as it landed before him. "You will find more than enough." He said, the others he had previously checked but this had been a somewhat surprise gift. He looked to her briefly before he snapped his fingers. "My room is upstairs at the end of the hall, go and draw me a bath."

 

[Nothing_Is_As_It_Seems]

"I sincerely apologize sir. There was some unexpected traffic on the way here, but again, that is no excuse." The man replied bowing his head with respect. "Yes sir, as you wish." The man watched as Ignatius inspected the girl. This girl had been the best virgin specimen he had to offer, so he hoped that Ignatius would be pleased. The poor girl stayed still and did not make a peep as Ignatius examined her. She didn't resists as he opened her lips nor as he tore her clothes from her body. She stood still and naked in front of him and the business man, not saying a word. Her head and eyes still cats down on the floor as she awaited orders from her new master. "I assure you sir she is of age. Her birth certificates states that she is twenty-one. If you would like we can arrange for an older looking slave." He offered as politely as possible.

As he fingered her orifices, she made no sound. However, it was obvious that it did have some effect on her for she was biting he lip to keep from making noise. She gave a small smile as Ignatius proved his approval. "Thank you very much sir. Please enjoy." As Ignatius snapped, she looked up at him. She nodded at the order. "Yes master, right away." She replied bowing her head before leaving to go to his room. She climbed up the stairs and found his room quickly. As soon as she entered she found the bathroom to her left. She opened the door and found the tub. She began to fill it up with warm water as she waited for it to fill and for her master to return. She was kneeling at the side of the tub as the water began to fill it.

 

[Anansi]

Ignatius looked at the man once the girl left and shrugged. "She will do just fine." He said before he waved his hand and walked past him. "come." Ignatius made his way down to the slave quarters and examined the other three. He liked to keep his staff rather small. He assigned them duties and uniforms and instructed them on their various tasks. "If you perform well you will earn a wage, once you have earned what I paid for you you will be free to stay in my employ or leave." He simply added to them before he turned and made his way back upstairs. "You may leave." He told the associate who had delivered them to him. He wasn't in the mood to continue looking at the slaver.

Making his way up to his room Ignatius disrobed himself. Usually he'd have a slave do it but he wasn't in the mood to bother with waiting. Strolling into the bathroom he looked to the girl kneeling beside the tub. His massive frame was muscular to the point of almost inhuman definition. Scars ran across his stomach and shoulders. His scars criss crossed in a few places as though he had been slashed with something extremely long and sharp in rapid succession. His member hung between his legs almost to his knees and began to swell slowly as he looked at the girl. Ignoring it he slipped into the bath and slid down relaxing as he ran his fingers through his slowly dampening hair.

Sitting up he sighed. "Well you'll be my personal servant, preparing baths, bringing me my meals, and sleeping the bedroom nearest to mine most nights." He said to her slowly. "Tell me about yourself."

 

[Nothing_Is_As_It_Seems]

The man nodded. "Very well sir." He said as he followed Ignatius to meet the other slaves. They all lined up in front of Ignatius, their uniforms at the moment latex maid suits. Their heads all bowed down with respect and their hand held in front of them. As Ignatius explained to them the terms and conditions of their slavery, they listened intensely and kept their eyes focused on their master. They all nodded and in unison thanked their new master and waited for further commands. As the associate was dismissed, the slaves continued their unpacking. They would wait in the room for further instruction.

As soon as she noticed her new master enter the bathroom, she stood up out of respect and bowed her head. "I have prepared your bath master. I hope it is to you liking." She said in a soft submissive voice. She tried as hard as she could not to draw attention to the fact that she had never seen a man of such build. Although she was curious about all of the scars on his body, she knew better than to ask and kept her mouth shut. She had also noticed his abnormally large member and bit her lip. She had never seen something so large, and she knew that it would get larger when he became aroused.

"Yes master. I understand." She nodded as he explained what her position was. She remained standing next to the tub, her head still bowed. She was taken aback when he asked about herself. This was something she was not expecting. Her head rose up to look at him and she gave a shrug. "Well...I..." She started, not sure how or what to tell him. "My name is....I mean was Abby. Umm, I was a student at the University of Penn State, a senior majoring in website design and a minor in marketing." She spoke slowly, unsure of exactly what he wanted to hear. She didn't want her master to become upset with her so early, or at all. Clearly, he was capable of causing her more than just a little bodily harm.

 

[Anansi]

Ignatius noted her eyes widen when she saw him but she tried to be obedient and look away. He slowly slipped downward into the tub soon after as he looked forward at the far wall. In truth he didn't think she would really need to know much about him to accomplish her duties but he figured maybe it would put her at ease. Reaching up a wet hand he stroked her hair slowly, his fingers running from her hairline to the back of her head. "You seem nervous." He said to her slowly. "Its understandable, seeing as how you're in a new place." He continued before he yawned and tilted his head looking off to one side of the room before he sat up and looked over to her.

"Oh, Upenn, thats a rather good school. I was never much one for schooling, I was a mercenary, made some sound investments and now I'm here." He said with a soft laugh. "I won't lie in saying that it doesn't amuse me of our lots in life." He said slowly before he stroked under her chin. "speak up." He aid as he looked to her. "And don't hesitate, I won't hurt you unless you merit it." He said before he leaned back once more. "Just tell me about yourself, its not hard, how old are you, where were you born, what are you good at." He continued. "Allergies and such, wouldn't want to accidentally kill you."

 

[Nothing_Is_As_It_Seems]

She nodded as he mentioned that she seemed nervous. She was feeling a bit nervous "Yes sir, and you are my first master." She explained, although she knew that he probably expected it from her. As he raised he raised his hand, at first she flinched, but it was replaced with a small smile when she realized that he was not going to strike her. Her body seemed to relax a his finger ran through her hair. It was obvious that she was not used to, nor expecting such gentle treatment, not that she didn't appreciate it.

She was not expecting Ignatius to tell her anything about himself. So it came as a surprise as he did. However, she listened intently with a smile and nodded. "That is very interesting master." She replied when he paused, her smile growing a little. She blushed as he stroked her chin and nodded at his request. She bit her lip at the mention of punishment, wondering what exactly would merit it. However, she focused mainly on the questions he asked and waited until he finished before she began to answer, speaking up as he requested her to. "Well, I am twenty one, I was born in Pittsburgh, and raised in New York City, Cleavland, and Raleigh. My parents moved a lot. I guess I am good at computers and writing. My mother had always told me that I give great massages too, but i wouldn't really know." She gave a giggle as he mentioned allergies and not wanting to accidentally killer. "I don't have any that I know of, so you shouldn't have to worry about that." She smiled and bowed her head again. "Is there anything else you would like to know master?" It seemed that she was beginning to relax a lot more, but remained obedient.

 

[Anansi]

He stroked his fingers through her hair repeatedly as one might a favored pet without actually looking at her. He listened as he looked off into the distance before he looked to the end of the tub. He sighed as he thought on a time where he had to listen to others, now he had enough money that he was free from it for the rest of his life and now he had people who'd obey his every whim.

"Hhmm twenty one and a virgin, have you not had a boyfriend or lover?" He asked her slowly as he settled deeper into the tub his hand withdrawing from her as he slowly sank downward relaxing after the stress of his day. "I was born in New York City." He said before he sighed. "Then moved all over the world, foster families, training facilities...I guess I was more an assassin than a mercenary." He said as he tilted his head and sat up. "Hhmm I see, give me a massage then." He said to her as he leaned forward then shifted up making space behind himself in the large tub.

 

[Nothing_Is_As_It_Seems]

Again the question ran through her mind, what was he being so affectionate and kind? This was not she had been trained to deal with. But for once since she had been kidnapped, she was feeling safe again, and she loved that feeling. She liked the way his fingers ran through her hair, but she wondered why he decided to look away as he did so. Perhaps, she thought, that the life he had aspired fir was not as enjoyable as he thought it was. Did he regret anything? Or did he just feel alone?

She shook her head. "I mean I have, I just, I didn't trust them enough." She replied, watching has his body sank deeper into the water. Her smile faded a little as he took his hand back, but she knew that he must have had a really stressful day. "I loved New York. Though I only lived there for a year." Although his job did shock her, he honestly didn't seem like one that killed for no reason. She couldn't imagine, at least from what she knew of him now, that he could be a dangerous person, even if the scars said otherwise. "I have always wanted to travel the world." She smiled at Ignatius, attempting to cheer him up.

As he requested a massaged she nodded, happy to do anything to see his smile. "Of course master!" She said as she got into the tub behind Ignatius. She placed her hands on his strong shoulders and began to massage his shoulders and neck. She concentrated most of the pressure where her palms were, kneeding the muscles in his shoulders and back. Her fingers moved in a more comforting manner, as if caressing the muscles. Her thumbs worked the muscles at the base of his neck, trying to ease the massive tension there. "How am I doing master?" She asked with a smile

 

[Anansi]

He zoned in and out on occasion but he always listened to hear picking apart words and rolling them over in his mind. He noted every flinch and movement he could feel or see out of the corner of his eye before he finally turned and looked to her. "I'm rather happy to have you hear, you will be the closest to me." He said to her simply before he sighed. He'd remembered growing up a slave himself, but it had afforded him an education of sorts.

"I see." He said slowly before he sighed. "I loved that city too, actually you were blindfolded as you were delivered but we aren't too far away." He said to her with a soft sigh. "Just a few miles upstate." He added to then he stroked along her jawline. "We'll take occasional daytrips there." He said to her with a slight smirk before once again looking forward. "There will be lots of traveling, I do have odds and ends from my past life to tie up." He added before he smirked to her. "you'll be coming with me of course, I'll have the rush put on your papers in the morning, they should have taken pictures and your passport will be fabricated within a week or so.

He groaned softly, her relatively weak hands eventually began to loosed the marble hard muscles of his shoulders and neck. Slowly he was able to relax and he leaned back into her massage groaning pleasantly. "Mmm very good." He said as his body eventually went lax and he leaned his head somewhat forward. "you're doing quite well." He said to her before he reached back. "I think I'll send you out for a bit of training in fact." He said to her. "Oh and by the way, if you work off your price, you're free to leave, I'll even give you a bit of money to help you on your way." He added between his pleased groans.

 

[Nothing_Is_As_It_Seems]

Her face lit up and she blushed slightly as Ignatius said he was happy to have her here. It seemed a little strange to her that now that she thought about it, she liked being here as well. Yes, she may be a servent, but she wasn't being beaten. In fact, she was being talked to as if she was more like a companion. It had been a long time since she had even really spoken to anyone on a level like this. Mostly at school she kept to herself and rarely talked to her roommate if ever."I am happy to be here too sir." She replied with a sweet smile. This didn't seem like such a bad situation after all.

She was happy, nay, excited to hear just how close they were to the city. Even more so that Ignatius told her that she would be going on trips there, and all over. Her cheeks flushed again as his fingers traced her jaw line. "That explains a lot." She replied as to why they had taken her picture, but sh thought for a moment. Hadn't they also said that they would be changing her name? She was still not sure of what it was and wondered if Ignatius knew. Of course he would, wouldn't he? "Master, they mentioned changing my name..." She began, not sure if it was okay to ask such a question. "Do you happen to know what it was changed to sir?" She asked in the most respectful way. After all, it would be difficult to answer to her master if she didn't know what he would be calling her by.

"Thank you very much master." She replied as he groaned with pleasure. When the muscles in his shoulder and neck finally relaxed, her hands moved down to focus on his upper back. She nodded as he mentioned training. "That sounds like it would be very interesting." She offered with a smile as he looked back. She was surprised by his offer of freedom. She knew of course that a slave always had to work off their worth, but she had not been informed that one could become free after doing so. What they had explained to her in her training was that once you were a slave, you always would be, and nothing more. That was how they broke you emotionally. However, she didn't know how long it would take to work off her debt, perhaps she would end up enjoying her work. "Thank you very much master. You are very kind and generous." She simply and sweetly replied, not really sure of how to respond to the offer of freedom.

 

[Anansi]

He noted the look on her face and smiled back to her. It was good to see enthusiasm. So many slaves that had been brought in the past took weeks to realize that he was a fair and decent man. He had paid far more for her than for the others, 21 and a virgin made her a rare comoddity indeed but she had been worth it.

"I honestly haven't the faintest, they usually find a girl who's recently died, pay the family to keep the death covered up. She'll be about your height and build but they will change the picture, if anyone notices the name it'll just be an odd coincidence." He said to her slowly. "It allows for it all to be done rather quickly. We will be traveling quite a bit and as such its necessary for us to have these things done with alacrity." He finished before he added in an almost impossibly nonchalant way. "Have you ever killed someone before? I mean either murder or self defense.?" He asked before continuing. "For that matter, can you use a fire arm?" He looked off into the distance before he sighed. "I'll have to get you trained in those too if not, just in case." He added with a slight yawn.

"You'll accrue worth as you do skill, as such the more you learn the higher your wage. We'll start you at say, a thousand a week." He began as he rolled his neck slowly and arched his back as he hands went lower. "The massage training will up it to fifteen hundred, fire arm and martial arts to three thousand." He said with a low groan as her hands continued. "Once you're free you can stay with me, or leave, your choice." He said to her before he twisted about. Years of yoga had made his body rather flexible once properly loosened. He looked to her and sighed. "your family
won't be able to sell you again once I free you." He added before he gave a slight groan. "ITs not me being generous, its me being fair."

 

[Nothing_Is_As_It_Seems]

It didn't take her long at all to figure out that Ignatius was kind and fair. Not to mention, quite handsome charming. She was glad that he seemed to appreciate her company and that he was so reasonable and gentle. She remembered that during training, they had warned her of her new master to beat her, or even kill her, for no reason other than he could. This didn't seem like Ignatius at all, and she was thankful of that. Although while she had been trained, she did get over most of her clumsiness, she still would trip over her self every so often, or other minor things like knock herself in the face with her own hand. She hoped that this would effect what he thought about her.

She nodded with understanding as he explained. It all made a lot of sense, the procedures very logical. "So is there anything that you will be calling me by Sir?" She asked curiously. She understood the logistics of everything and that everything needed to be done so quickly. "I take it that I will be traveling by your side at all times?" Her smile widening at the mention of extensive travel. As she had told Ignatius, traveling was something that she always wanted to do, but never had the chance. Now that she had been sold to him, she did. She was taken by surprise at his next question. "N-no, I haven't killed anyone...." She thought for a moment when he asked if she had used a firearm. "May father took me hunting when I was younger, and I've used a hand gun in a shooting range before. Does that count?" She asked. "Although, its been a few years." She admitted shyly.

Her eyes widened as he named what she was being payed per week, just starting out. None of the jobs she had ever had before ever measured up to that. She was surprised at how fast the numbers would rise once she took training for massages, firearm training, and martial arts. "Th-thank you." She replied as her hands moved on to his lower back. "If you would like me to try anything, just asked Master." She smiled, allowing all the talk of money and training to hang in th air. "Well I am very glad that I have such a fair and just Master. Its better than what they had told me during training." She told him honestly, mumbling the last sentence, not really wanting to remember what happened there. "Regardless of whether is is fair or generous, I still really appreciate it master." She thanked him, rubbing his lower back, kneading out the final knots.

 

[Anansi]

He shifted and twisted in the tub slightly as he reached back to stroke along her cheek and shoulder before he laughed softly. "You seem to be taking this all rather in stride. I've had other slaves freak out at the concept of freedom, many of them take it for weakness and try to run soon after." He said to her slowly before he sighed and shifted a lock of her hair behind her ears. "I've never had one in such a personal capacity before but, I got tired of always having to shut myself off from the rest at night, and you seem like a nice young lady, had you not been so subservient I wouldn't be doing this now." He said as he stroked his hand along her jawline with his fingers stroking gently at it.
"I'd rather not give you multiple names an end up confusing you, so lets see what happens dear." He said to her slowly with a soft smile following it. "Your life that you lived before, well its behind you now, new name, new..well everything." He said to her. "No, sometimes you will travel on your own once you've built enough rapport with clients and I'm sure I can trust you. Sometimes I will send you off to do errands while I am busy, usually simple things, you're a clever girl, I'm sure they won't be a problem for you." He said to her with a soft smile and another stroke of her cheek. "Mmm I see, well the issue with that is in this line of work you'll have to learn to use them. I'll trust that you already know not to turn upon me, believe me forgive the expression, but you would be most certainly biting the hand that feeds you. A hand that could just as easily strangle you." He pondered on what she said before he nodded. "At least you are not wholly unfamiliar with the concept so we can start that training relatively soon.

He groaned as she rubbed out the final knots of his back before he yawned. "Its fine, you won't actually see the money in any case, but periodically if you wish you can check on it. You'll find an account password on your pillow. You'll be allowed internet access but what you do and who you contact will be monitored." He said to her slowly before he turned to look at her. "Welcome to your new life." He said before he stood turning as he did so. His member was right before her but he ignored that and looked over. "Get a towel and dry me off."

 

[Nothing_Is_As_It_Seems]

She smiled as he caressed her cheek and shoulder. She liked his smile and how happy he seemed right now. She shrugged as he mentioned how well she was taking all of this. "Master, you haven't given me a reason to freak out or run away." She replied simply in truthfully. She was really surprised to hear that she was his first personal slave, or one that was to be close to him. Her cheeks turned a bright red as he called her a 'nice young lady' and continued to caress her face in what seemed like a very affectionate manner. "I am glad you think so highly of me master." She replied, her voice a little softer than before.

She nodded in agreement at his decision, it was nice that he was thinking of her. And the fact that he called her dear made her feel special. "I understand master." She replied as he told her that this was the beginning of her new life. She nodded as he enlightened her with more information on what her job would be. "I have no problem with that Master. And I know better than to bite the hand that feeds me Sir. Especially if the hand belongs to such a nice gentleman." She pulled her hands away when the last of the knots melted away. She was glad to do anything he wish and was eager to complete the training that he had discussed and it showed on her face. Now that she was relaxed, her personality began to shine through. She was a person who was very eager to please and took criticism well. However, they seem to thrive off of positive encouragement, as if in the past she was deprived of affection and positive reinforcement.

"Thank you master, but at the moment I don't think I will be checking. I trust you." She said as she climbed out of the tub and fetched a large and fluffy towel. She had seen his member out of the corner of her eye, but pushed the thought out of her mind. It wouldn't be proper for her to gawk, even if it wasn't her master, it would be rude. She stood outside the tub and held up the towel, ready to begin drying him as soon as he exited the tub. She looked toward him, but kept her gaze on his face, respecting his nudeness.

 

[Anansi]

He enjoyed her honesty and forthright nature. It came off as genuine, most slaves were trained to lie to the point it became annoying. They were nothing but agreements and sunshine, she however came off without the cloying sweetness to her words so many of the others had. "Well you've earned my trust for the moment, I mean really for all knew you could have taken any number of things and hidden them in the bathroom in the time it took me to get up here." He said to her with a smirk remembering a time when he'd killed for a client using a radio and a tub to make it seem an accident.

He looked to her and smirked before he nodded in agreement with her understanding. "Good, I try to avoid punishment, but when I do they are severe..and permanent." He said before slowly running his fingers along her lips. "I trust you'd not bite my hand in any way shape or form..it'd be a shame for you to lose such pretty teeth." He added his face still smiling in stark contrast with his message. "Ah a gentleman, I try to be..I try to be." He said with a slow slight nod. It was new to him this whole thing of having slaves, he'd only had three before and never so close. He looked her over and was surprised at her lack of shyness about her nudity or her proximity to his body other than her avoidance of looking at his body.

"Its not really a matter of trusting me, its more a matter of if you feel your services are properly valued and to handle investments and such." He said to her slowly before he looked down at the water she trailed along the floor and shrugged. He saw her glance briefly and smirked before stepping back as she approached. "Its ok, you can look, you'll be seeing it often enough." He said to her with a soft smirk. "Believe me its not really something I'm ashamed of."

 

[Nothing_Is_As_It_Seems]

She smiled as Ignatius told her that she had earned his trust for the moment. Although, she looked very confused when he said that she could have hidden any number of things in the bathroom that she could use to injure or kill him. The smirk confused her even more. "I'm not sure I would have known what to take or hide anyway Master. I do not yet know my way around here yet, and for all I know, you could have hidden security cameras." She replied, although in truth, non of those ideas had even crossed her mind.

Her smile faded away as he spoke of punishment, her body shivering for a moment as he spoke of loosing her teeth. The thought of punishment scared her to and the threat to loose her teeth didn't very much help, even if he was smiling while he spoke of it. She tried her best to push those thoughts out of her mind, knowing that the more she thought about it, the more likely she was to make a mistake, albeit a silly or clumsy one, but a mistake no less. She didn't notice that he was surprised by he lack of shyness about her own nakedness. The truth was that she is comfortable in her own skin. She did not think of herself as perhaps the thinnest, nor the hottest girl on the world, but she felt that she looked decent. Besides, Ignatius didn't seem to mind her body either since he had torn her clothes right off her body.

"Alright then sir. But still, I doubt I will check it very often. I don't feel that its not my place to argue with you about the values of my services. As for investments and the like, I have no idea how to handle those things." She replied, feeling a bit embarrassed of that fact. She was only twenty-one after all, still in college, investments were one of the last things on her mind. She noticed Ignatius look at the trail of water. "I'm sorry Master. I will be sure to clean that up as soon as you are dry." She promised as she moved her gaze from the floor to him. She blushed deeply as he told her to look. She knew exactly what Ignatius was talking about. "I-its not that I don't want to look Master. Its that I didn't want you to think that I was gawking." She said as she bit her lip." She couldn't help but smirk at his last remark. "Well there is certainly nothing to be ashamed of Sir." She replied, allowing her eyes to wander and gaze for a few short moments. "Shall I begin drying you off master?" She asked, her eyes moving back up to look into his as she took another step forward.

 

[Anansi]

He chuckled softly at her answer, it was honest almost to a fault. She admitted not that she'd never hurt him but that she'd have not known how to acquire something with which to hurt him. The absurdity of hearing her say it aloud eventually made him shake his head before he stroked her cheek. "Aww you're just so cute." He said before moving his hand up to ruffle her hair as one might an amusing pet. "There are cameras here and there, but none in the bathrooms, everyone deserves their moments of privacy, denying a human being the privacy of the bathroom is just barbaric." He said slowly before he sighed happily.

He looked to her and tilted his head as he examined her face. He could see emotions playing across it as the concept of punishment sank in and eventually fade. Stepping closer to her he grinned. "Don't worry, it would have to be something rather offensive in order to merit such a punishment. I'm sure you won't do anything meriting above the occasional spanking." He said teasingly before he added. "You're also allowed to wear clothing when not in the house, or when we have company, in fact best you at least put on outer clothes unless the place is locked down." He said to her with a snicker. "Underwear is optional but seeing as how I haven't bought any for you that would come out of your own pocket in expenses."

"Oh no, its not a matter of arguments or even trust, its a matter of your own self worth. To always know you have value and are working towards that value. As for investments, well in my will, if I were to die by say, an accident, or through no fault of any of the slaves in this house, you'd all be freed." He said letting the words hang in the air briefly. "Your earnings would also be a kind of back up for such an event or simply to live when you leave. I mean do you really want to leave this place with nothing, if you chose to leave that is." He said to her with a slow nod. He looked her over as she looked at him and slowly his member began to stiffen but not to full erection as he looked to the towel. "Yes, you may dry me, and then yourself." He replied before stepping out of the tub toward her.

She blushed deeply as he shook his head and called her cute. She wasn't sure if he was making fun of her or not, but he was laughing, so maybe it was a good thing. She smiled and giggled softly as he ruffled her hair. She really liked how affectionate Ignatius was with her. "Well I appreciate that Master, thank you." She said happy to hear that she didn't have to worry about him, or anyone really, watching her while she was in the bathroom. Not that she would do anything that would need to be monitored.

She was relived to hear that she wouldn't be punished harshly for little mistakes. Although, she still was not very fond of spankings, but it was better then getting her lights knocked out. Her smile returned, now no longer worrying unnecessarily about punishment. She nodded as he explained the clothing rules. "Alright master. And going without underwear is not a problem for me. I suppose the clothes are already in my room?" She asked. She tilted her head to the side, wondering what he was laughing about. "Is something funny Sir?" She asked curiously.

"Alright, I think I understand now sir." She replied. Her smile turned to a frown as he spoke about death. "You are very intelligent to have come up with such a well thought out plan for yourself and your staff." Her cheeks blushed a little brighter as she notice his cock stiffen and grow larger, she had never seen anything so...magnificent. As he stepped out of the tub, she began to towel him off. Standing on her tip toes, she began with his massive shoulders and back, and worked her way down. She made sure that he skin was dry to the touch before she moved on to the next part of his body. After she finished his shoulders and back, she moved to his left arm, then his right, and then to his chest. She hesitated for a moment as she approached his pelvis area, but continued to dray off every part of him, making sure to be very gentle. Then she moved to his ass and then toweled off his legs and feet last, making sure to get between every toe. "Master, can you bend down so I may reach your head and neck?"

"Aww what a lovely shade of pink." He cooed to her in relation to her blush. He then stroked his fingers along her jawline down to her neck then up to her chin to tilt her face up to look at his. "No thanks necessary, perform to the best of your duties, do well and you will be rewarded." He said simply. He wasn't a cruel man, he was if anything someone who was wholly reasonable in his expectations and demands.

"Its quite amusing that underwear is the least of your concerns yet the only thing you'd have to actually buy yourself." He said before he shook his head slowly. "In any case, yes, there are a few outfits in your room, some are quite revealing but I'd say you have the body for them." He mused as he ran his fingers down between her breasts and along her stomach his head cocking to one side. He had a look of contemplation as he looked down over her. "Hhhmm now to decide on a brand or a collar." He mused to himself biting his lower lip in thought. "Then again I suppose if you did leave a brand would be rather permanent, however if you were say kidnapped it would allow for easy identification." He added his fingers now trailing freely along her body as he considered the possibilities.


"Good, I do like a clever girl." He said before he stroked his fingers through her hair before he smiled to her and leaned this way and that for her to dry him. "Why thank you but really its just simple business. I treat my slaves as property, as such it must be maintained, defended, and taken care of properly in the event of my demise." He said without the slightest hint of worry in his voice. His member stiffened further as she dried it, now it jutted out slightly before he smiled. Kneeling before her so she could reach he leaned in and softly kisses along he stomach in a rather affectionate way. Picking up a nearby towel he began to dry off her feet taking the same care that she did him.

She giggled once more and hid her face behind her hands for a moment as he commented on her blush. Her smile brightening as his fingers touched the smooth skin of her face. Her eyes shining as they looked up into his. She had an overwhelming feeling to press her lips to his fingers, but ignored it. She simply nodded as his reply to her thanks. Already feeling herself warming up to him as a person, not only as a master. He was a reasonable and nice man, and the more he spoke, the warm she wanted to be closer to him.

She shrugged. "Mama always said its good to let you pussycat breath." She answered with a smile. Her cheeks blushed bright once more as his hands explored her body. "I am happy that my body is to your liking." She said as her eyes watched his fingers run down her body. She listened closely as he thought aloud about what he was going to adorn her with. A brand did not sound very pleasant and he had a point that if she was kidnapped a collar wouldn't do much. "Perhaps I could suggest a compromise Sir?" She suggested with a smile. "Although I love the idea of a collar Master, you are right that it would not help much if I was kidnapped." She said, thinking out loud herself. "And branding, as I have heard, hurts like the dickens. What would you think about me being marked with a custom tattoo Master?" She suggested. She didn't make a move to stop Ignatius from touching her body, in fact, she enjoyed his fingers trailing so softly along her skin. "The tattoo would be much less conspicuous, so if someone were to kidnap me, they would think nothing of it. And I could still wear a collar if you wish." She offered, hoping that he wouldn't mind that she spoke rather freely.

She seemed to beam with happiness as he called her pleasure and played with her hair. She noticed that his member became more aroused as she dried it but kept her mouth shut. She began to dry his hair first, putting the towel over his hair and ruffling it under it. Then she moved down to his neck and face, patting gently until the skin was dry. She looked down curiously as he began to kiss her stomach in a tender way. She simply smiled and a happy sigh left her lips, enjoying the feeling of his lips upon her. "All done master." She replied as she removed the towel from his body. She looked down once more as she felt him drying off her feet. "Sir what are you doing?" She asked curiously. "I can dry myself." A little guilt in the sweet tone of her voice. Wasn't she the one supposed to be serving him.

He laughed softly as she blushed and moved her hands away from her face before gently grasping them with his own. "Oh, getting shy on me now?" He asked her playfully before he leaned in closer his lips now close to hers as he smiled and touched the tip of his nose to hers. "Its not a big deal dear, you don't have to be shy, you're quite attractive, I'd say they sold you to me at far below what you were worth." He added before he leaned back slightly so as not to embarrass her further. He had to admit he had started previously in a sour mood but her demeanor had lifted it quite readily.

"Oh and breath it shall." He added with a slight nod before he trailed his hands around to her backside and shook his head. "Well dear, a tattoo can be easily modified, or if need be removed. A brand, well it would have to be surgically removed and that sort of surgery would require a surgeon if it were to be done without leaving a mark thus allowing me to find you far easier. A tattoo on the other hand could have other things incorporated into the design and even who knows the very ink copied." He said slowly before he tilted his head. "However I could..." He thought on it briefly before he shook his head. "In any case I'm sure we will cross that bridge when we come to it." He added before he laughed. "Dear, professional slavers often have squads that steal slaves for other clients, believe me they'd notice a tattoo, hhmm or I could just do the simple thing and have you fitted with a chip." He mused. "One deep deep inside of you." he added before he tapped his fingertip slowly at her stomach.



He ran the towel slowly along her body and tested the dryness of her skin with his lips planting slow sumptuous kisses following the path. His member jutted before him like a thick club now as he dried her before he looked up. Once he was dry he laughed at her statement. "Are you telling me how to enjoy what is mine?" He asked with a slight pinch of her backside as a reminder. He stood eventually before he leaned in and pressed his lips to hers, his hands wrapped around her waist and slipped down to grasp her backside. He lifted her into the kiss, his tongue running slowly along her lower lip and his hardened heated member trapped between their bodies as he pulled her to himself.

She felt her heart begin to race as he took her hands and held them. She bit her lip and shook her head. She felt a shiver run up her spine as his face moved closer to hers. Her smile still there, but it sounded as if she was breathing just a little faster then before. "Thank you master." She replied softly as he complimented her. Her heart seemed to sink a little as he pulled away, however, she still felt quite elated. She noticed that Ignatius' mood had greatly improved from earlier. Hopefully it was because of her.

She simply giggled as he returned her witty comment with his own. The shivers returned as she felt his hands trail to her ass, but she listened to him intently as he explained the problem with her idea. Yes, she was a bit disappointed that it wouldn't work as she thought, but then again, she knew very little about matters like this. "Oh, I guess I have a lot to learn about this lifestyle then." She replied, admitting that he did know best. She raised her eyebrows at the mention of a chip. "You mean like the ones they put into animals? With GPS and encoded information?" She asked curiously. That didn't seem so bad, even if she had to get it surgically implanted.

She watched as the towel slid down her body and absorbed the water still on her skin. The kisses left her only wanting hi to touch her more, but she thought it wasn't her place to ask. So she simply watched, her eyes growing as his member grew more. "No, never master. I was just curious...since you had told me to dry myself." She replied innocently with a small squeal as he pinched her rump. She was shocked by the kiss to her lips, not expecting her master to do so. The towel that she had dried him with fell from her hands to the floor. This was something that she wanted more of for sure. As he lifted her by her curvy backside, her hands reached for his strong shoulders, not wanting to fall. A soft moan escaped her lips into the kiss as it became more heated. Her tongue shyly snaked from between her lips to lick as his bottom lip in return.

He gently held her hands in his own and slowly lifted them up to his lips kissing them playfully before he released them to let her back to her duties. He felt rather pleased with how things were going so far. From the vents he could already smell evidence of the kitchen staff hard at work. They would soon have dinner and then afterwards maybe he'd introduce them all to each other.

He laughed before he leaned in and nipped at the side of her neck. His hands on her backside squeezed softly before he laughed gently. "Dear, don't frown like that, you've not been a part of this lifestyle you couldn't have known." He said before he nodded. "Yes but with a far more powerful tracer within it. Also I'd have to acquire your medical records...so you will be making a call to your previous doctor to have them delivered to a P.O. Box, I can already assure you that if you try to run it won't end well." He said before patting her arm. "Usually its a tiny thing that's inserted deep into the body, its kind of like a big needle they used to do it.

He ssmirked and kissed slowly along before he laughed. "I said you could, I never said you had to dear. By no means did I imply I would not be the one drying you." He added before he kissed slowly along her lips before he lifted her to kiss under her throat. "Mmm so, do you want me?" He asked her slowly. "I can see your skin flush, and feel your heat, so your body does..but do you?" He asked slowly before he lowered her to the ground and leaned in close his eyes looking to hers and awaiting her answer.
