Chapter 7: Preparing Protection

Monica and Cari had just arrived at the penthouse moments before Raini, Harmony, and Tia returned. The shocked look both had was priceless, then Monica said almost as a question, you added another woman to our group.

I introduced Tia and gave her background before continuing to explain what Tia’s role was.

When I finished Tia began to explain what her thoughts and ideas on protection were. I was totally impressed and it appeared all the females also agreed with her. Tia was suggesting all of us to include me begin training in a form or martial arts that focuses on a group defense with everyone protecting themselves and each other. This would be perfect for our group.

It mainly focused on pairs working together but overall, it was a group-based style of fighting.

This fighting style was very similar to what my race used, and I was able to assist in correcting technique and follow through. Tia asked to spar with me after a couple of days, curious as to how proficient I really was. After about four or five minutes we stopped calling it a draw. The four females were all shocked at the speed and power we demonstrated in our sparring.

It was at this point that Tia made the statement, “I am not sure how to ask or if I should be asking but I can’t help noticing each of you are wearing a BDSM collar with the O-ring which makes it obvious that is what it is. Do I have to wear one?”

All the females were stunned silent, I took a moment then said, “If you recognize the collar for what it is then you know what wearing one means, CORRECT”

Tia took almost a minute before she realized I had meant that as a question to her and was waiting for her answer. When she did, she quickly apologized and said that she does know what the collar means and just wanted to know if she would have to submit to me as part of the job requirements.

Monica spoke at this point saying that NONE of them were required to submit to me as part of a job requirement. YES, most of them have responsibilities that benefit the group, but none are or were required to submit to their collar in any other manner than what the collar represents and that their submission was based on their individual desire to submit to me.

I then said that if she were interested in joining our group in that manner, she needed to discuss it with all the females alone and if they all agreed to her joining the group I would accept her. They all had to agree as a whole. I would have NO influence on the matter at all!

Monica said they would discuss this further later this evening. We finished the training for the day and got ready for dinner. After dinner, the females all went out to a coffee shop to talk amongst themselves and decide. Tia stated that she was unsure if it was what she wanted but couldn’t help but feel jealous of just how happy and well cared for they all looked and acted.

When they returned, I was asked if she could be allowed a trial period before making her decision. I said that her job did not require her to submit to me. She could ask to submit anytime she felt was right if that was truly what she wished and if all of the rest of you are in agreement as well.

The was the last I heard about Tia submitting to me.

The renovations were completed, and we moved back into our home. Cari moved in with Monica mostly because they spent all their time in the master bedroom with me. That allowed Tia to move into Cari’s old room.

My study/office was turned into a practice room with padded walls and mat, which took three days to complete, mostly due to having the padding installed once measurements were taken and the mats were made to size. Surprisingly, the room was just the right size to conduct training. Having the pool and jacuzzi after a workout was perfect.

All this training and concern was proven to be needed after two months of training. Although the females were not very proficient, they were knowledgeable and skilled enough to assist in preventing harm or worse from occurring.

We all were out having a late lunch early diner when several males approached Tia, Cari, and Raini. I had gone to the bar for another round of drinks. Monica and Harmony had gone to the ladies’ room. The males were obviously drunk and overly confident to the point of being arrogant and would not take NO and Not Interested answers to their repeated requests for the two to join them. When Tia intervened explaining that she was there to protect the females and advised the now four drunk males to depart and leave the females alone. They just laughed and invited her to join them saying she would have fun and enjoy their company.

At this point, the drunks were so arrogant they each grabbed one of the females arm and attempted to pull them to their feet and force them to come with the drunks, each had grabbed an arm with each of their hands putting the three females between all four of them.
