Chapter 17: Introduced to Mistress

“Come with me, Slave Laura,” says a voice I wasn’t expecting to hear.

Mistress Claudia! She’s the mistress who lost a small fortune to Mistress Matilda and me when she bet against me at the Dominas-Kongress. I strongly suspect that I’m her least favourite submissive in the network of doms and subs in which we circulate. Why is she here? I quickly put on my clothing while she lowers the ladder into my cell.

I climb up to the gallery above and Mistress Claudia unlocks the device on the rail so that I can leave the cavern. Mistress Claudia is obviously familiar with this place as she is able to tell me when to change my chain’s runner from one rail to another at junctions. At one point I meet a female ‘slave’ coming the other way and we perform the usual routine with our chain runners to pass each other.

I haven’t seen this ‘slave’ before, so she is presumably another guest of the cavern I’ve just left. I squeeze around her on the outside, holding my chain high so that she can duck underneath. I jolt in surprise as she runs her hands over my tits as she passes me. I stifle my alarm since I don’t want to alert Mistress Claudia. I’m unsure whether this is accepted behaviour, and I don’t want to get another ‘slave’ in trouble if I can avoid it.

Our journey ends in a small room. The rail holding my chain drops to the floor, forcing me to stoop. Mistress Claudia signals for me to sit on a large cushion on the floor, while she sits on a couch facing me. I obey since trying to do anything else would be pointless.

“Slave Laura,” begins Mistress Claudia. “Mistress Hildebrand has agreed that my dungeons are more appropriate than her comfortable villa for your training. Before leaving England, you signed and agreement to submit to whatever regime Mistress Hildebrand imposed on you, including allowing others to fuck you. She has assigned that agreement to me. Therefore you will submit to my regime in every respect. Do you understand? Do you have any questions?”

“I understand, Mistress,” I reply, feeling nervous about this change. “Is Mistress Matilda aware of this new arrangement?”

“She does not need to be informed. Let me be clear. You cost me a lot of money at the Dominas-Kongress and I intend to recoup my losses. You will be trained in accordance with the agreement you signed, but under my supervision. Please me, and in two weeks time you will be on a flight back to Foxglove Hall ready to challenge Slave Michelle at the next Dominas-Kongress. Displease me, and you will discover that there are places in the east where pretty young sex slaves can disappear forever. So what’s it to be? Are you going to be obedient or rebellious?”

“If I don’t return home on time then people will come looking for me,” I retort.

“ ... Mistress,” I add belatedly.

“The dominatrices in our circle have an understanding. The police are never involved in our dealings. We settle our differences in our own way. Slaves like you are commodities to be used as we see fit. I’m sure Mistress Matilda will have gone through the terms of the agreement you signed. Is that not so?”

“Umm ... yes, Mistress,” I concede, now realising the full scope of the agreement I signed. “But my sister will certainly call the police.”

“No, I don’t think she will. I have your phone. Your messages to your sister make interesting reading. You have done an excellent job at calming her concerns about your desire to live in thrall to another. I think we can easily convince her that your disappearance is your own choice. To some extent it will be. All I require from you is your obedience and submission. Only if you choose to rebel does any of this become an issue. So I repeat my question ... are you going to be obedient or rebellious?”

“Mistress Matilda prohibits me from using any form of contraception. She promised that only women will be fucking me. Will you honour that promise?”

“No. It doesn’t suit my plans for you. If you become pregnant, then Lady Matilda must accept responsibility for imposing such an antiquated rule. Now, I repeat my question: are you going to be compliant to my regime or not?”

It occurs to me that it would suit Mistress Claudia’s designs for me to return to Foxglove Hall and discover that I’m pregnant just before the next Dominas-Kongress. That would place Mistress Matilda in a difficult situation. She made it clear that I would be dismissed immediately should I become pregnant. My predecessor suffered that same fate only weeks before I was employed.

Unfortunately, I don’t see how I have any option but to agree to Mistress Claudia’s terms. The maids at Foxglove Hall take the risk of pregnancy each time Master Arthur fucks them, but so far his ‘withdrawal method’ has worked. I can only try to ensure the same happens here.
