Chapter 15

Note: I write this story which is purely a figment of my imagination. All characters are over 18 years of age. This chapter will be written primarily from the point of view of Aimee. All constructive criticism is appreciated and will be responded to unless it is rude and obnoxious. Thank you for your assistance markf52 as editor, this chapter is much tamer than the ones before and after. I hope you enjoy this continuing story as much as I am in writing it.

From the Master’s point of view – Team gets ready to leave for Camp Pendleton

I awoke early the next morning, alone to the noise and smells of breakfast. I couldn’t help but smile and be glad to be a part of life again. As I headed downstairs, I was met by Sonia at the base of the stairs. She hugged and kissed me, then said, “Thank you for letting my Mistress place a collar on me.”

I smiled at her, “Meeting you at the base of the stairs, dressed as you aren’t, is a great way to wake up every morning?”

She smiled and replied, “I’ll have to talk to my Mistress about making it part of my job requirements. I am sure she will always allow me to be available for those services.”

I laughed and said, “I will talk to my number one about scheduling some special alarm clock services.”

Sonia laughed and sighed, “Master, I need to get ready to go and thank you so much for this opportunity.”

I replied, “From what I hear, you are well qualified for this position. All I can ask is that you train hard and be ready if we need for you to act. Please have fun in Oceanside and take care of my number one. Please, do not be shy about sharing your opinions about whom or who we may or may not need. Your Mistress is very good at reading people, but some additional knowledge is always helpful.”

We parted ways, my number one and her team was soon ready to hit the road.

From Aimee’s point of view – Camp Pendleton

We drove up to the main gate at Camp Pendleton, I explained to the security officer, “We have a meeting with the Commander of the Raiders.”

The security officer leaned toward me and looked at my passengers and asked, “Ma’am, I need to know who you are and verify your ID.”

I said, “My name is Aimee Bailey and here is my ID.”

He looked at my ID, then at me again and said, “One moment please.” He made a phone call and I heard him saying, Yes, Sir, yes Sir, yes, Sir, yes, Sir, yes, Sir, and then he finally ended the call. He returned to my car and said, “I have to request an escort to show you the way. Please pull forward, wait in that space, he’ll be here in a moment.”

True to his word, an escort car came up with its lights on and waived for us to follow him. Only I noticed that his hair was a little long to be a man in the Marines.

I turned to Justin and asked, “Is this a large base?”

Justin replied, “One of the Marines biggest as far as land mass is concerned. We’ve actually trained here with the Raiders as the Marines are technically part of the Navy, even though they have their own command structure. We in Special Ops tend to exchange information and strategies from time to time and train together.”

Mary said, “We are here,” just before the escort pulled over and got out of her car. She requested for us to please follow her. Mary stepped out of the car and started to say, “I know where to go.” She surprised us all when she yelled, “Freya, what are you doing here?”

Freya looked over the car and stared at Mary. She said, “I thought you retired because of your injuries, what are you doing here?”

As Mary rushed around the car and enveloped Freya in a hug, Justin said, “Freya was responsible for Mary joining the Seals. She also trained Mary to be a sniper after she became a Seal. Freya is the closest Mary can come to having a sister. She is also one of the best broad scale mission planners the Marines have ever had. But, like Mary, was injured when their transport found a car bomb on the side of the road. She is now the number two person on this base, only reporting to the Base Commander.”

I heard Mary ask, “What is a Colonel doing providing base escort services?”

Freya answered, “I was taking a little break when I heard the General doing his best to berate someone and when he hung up he looked at me and said that there was someone at the front gate that I knew. Why don’t you show them the way to the Raider’s compound. I smiled at the old buzzard and said ok. Now, why are you here out of uniform?”

Mary smiled back, “I am out of uniform because I am no longer in the Navy Seals, and I did retire. We are putting together a security team and are here to interview some separating Marine Raiders to be a part of that team.”

Freya smiled at Mary and looked at Justin, “The two of you are enough protection for anyone up to the President. I think I know this other young lady as someone almost as dangerous as the two of you, especially to asshole junior officers.” Freya looked at Sonia and smiled, “Am I correct in my statement.”

Sonia smiled at Freya, “Yes ma’am, I believe you were on the board of inquiry into something like that. Thank you for recommending to the board to let me separate with an honorable discharge. That allowed me to become a police officer and put me in a position to meet and join this team.”

Freya smiled at Sonia and said, “Just so you know, that junior officer received a dishonorable discharge a couple months after you separated because he was an asshole and wouldn’t listen to his senior NCO’s. He made the mistake of taking on your squad leader in front of witnesses. The NCO was only protecting himself, even though the 2^nd Lieutenant received a broken arm.”

Justine took control, “Freya, we need to go in and do some interviews.”

Freya smiled, “I’m not doing much right now. May I join you for your interviews? By the way, who is your lovely friend and these two young people? They don’t appear to be military.”

Justin smiled, “This is Aimee, our team leader, and these two young people are our computer specialists. Mistress, this is Freya.”

Surprised, Freya looked at Justin, stepped toward me and held out her hand, “It’s nice to meet you. I am amused that Justin called you Mistress, are you two lovers?”

I laughed, “Not yet, we haven’t had the time. Him, Mary and Sonia have only been on my team for a few days. But our lifestyle mandates that I take care of all of their needs. And Freya, I mean that in the broadest sense, both physical and mental.”

Freya’s eyes drilled directly into mine, “I think I know about your lifestyle. Can we discuss it later? I know you have an appointment. Let’s go in and you can meet the Commander.”

Freya led us in and we heard, “Captains, it’s so good to see you again.”

Justin replied, “It’s good to see you again too, Sir.”

Justin said, “Commander, I would like you to meet our lead interviewer, Aimee Bailey. The remainder of her crew is Joe, Jan, you may know Sonia and of course my partner Mary. We also picked up a Colonel during our travels across base. I am sure you know Colonel Freya.”

The Commander laughed and said, “Yes, we have crossed paths a few times.”

Freya smiled at him, “Yes, we have. With these three involved in the interviews, I became curious and invited myself along to see what they are doing here. As you know, I may be separating in the near future myself.”

The Commander laughed and said, “I received this call from an old Navy Seal I used to know, he says that he needs a few good people to put together a security team and he is only looking for the best, I asked him what type of good people he was looking for and he mentioned your two names.” He motioned toward Justin and Mary. “It was then that I realized he didn’t really mean good, he meant great. I have half a dozen or so lined up of my best waiting.” Looking at Justin he asked, “Which one of you is in charge?”

Justin laughed and said, “Sir, as I said, Aimee is in charge.”

I laughed at him and said, “That old ex-Navy Seal is not really that old and I would appreciate the same respect be given to all of my people, not just the ones you know. Now, let’s get started with these interviews.”

The Commander laughed and said, “Right, let’s go, this way to the conference room and I’ll tell you who I have lined up.” He looked over at Sonia and said, “I know you too, don’t I?”

Sonia smiled and replied, “Yes, Sir, I think you do.”

The Commander said, “I think this day just got real interesting.”

We were sitting around the conference table and the Commander looked at the twins, “What is their specialty, they look kind of young.”

Joe looked at me and I said, “Tell him what you and your sister do.”

Joe looked at the Commander and said, “We are in computers, Sir.”

I said, “There probably isn’t a computer system they can’t break into.”

The Commander laughed and said, “Our cryptic system is the best in the world, even my best can’t break into it.”

I smiled and asked, “Would you like a demonstration of what they can do, Sir?”

He pointed at a computer consol and said, “Have a ball.”

Joe looked at Jan and said, “Flip you for it.”

Jan replied, “This one is easy, you should be checking your email in less than a minute.”

Joe, smiling at the Commander, went to the console, fired it up and was checking his email in about 45 seconds.

The Commander sat there with his mouth open and asked, “How did you do that?”

Jan laughed and said, “He doesn’t know, he turns on a computer, sees what he has to do and does it.”

The Commander said, “I have a pair of technicians that are set to be separated the end of next week, would you like to interview them now? They are expert field operatives with extreme abilities in regards to computers.”

I looked at Joe and Jan and asked, “What do you think?”

Jan smiled and said, “It never hurts to talk to someone. Let’s meet them and see what they know.” I was thinking, “If Joe and Jan know these two, they aren’t showing their cards.”

The Commander said, “I love it, a person in command who lets their experts do their job. Ma’am, I could use someone like you on my staff.”

I laughed as I replied, “Sir, you can’t afford me. Let’s get this started.”

The Commander stepped out and returned with what looked like twins. He saw our expressions and said, “Yes, they are twins like you.” He motioned toward Joe and Jan.

I motioned the twins into the chairs next to me and I started to ask my questions. When I was done, I turned all the technical stuff over to the twins and saw that they were really getting along well.

From their discussions, I could tell that these two along with my twins could make an unstoppable team. I asked the Commander, “Sir, I have some sensitive questions to ask, could you step out for a couple of minutes so I can address a couple of items with the four of them?”

He looked at Freya as he left the room. I turned toward her and said, “You are about to learn everything about our lifestyle. Please let me discuss it with them and then you may ask all the questions you can come up with.”

Freya looked at my three security specialists. Receiving only smiles in return, she nodded her head.

I looked across the table and like my twins, they were male and female. I decided to take a chance and open them up a little.

I asked, “What are your names?”

She replied, “We are Mitchell and Michelle Chang.”

I thought to myself, “Why do parents do this to their kids, naming twins so close to the same name.” I then said, “I believe that you two are exactly what we are looking for. One small item still needs to be discussed. Our team needs you to be able to fit into our lifestyle.”

Mitchell looked at Joe and Jan and asked, “Lifestyle?”

I took a breath, exhaled as I said, “My teams here are my submissives and I am their Mistress. We all report to our Master or more importantly my Master.”

I looked at Joe and Jan and said, “Please show the twins your collars. Colonel, you should probably look at it too.”

When they read Property of Aimee Bailey, Michelle said, “Wait a minute, we aren’t becoming anyone’s property.”

The twins laughed and Jan said, “It is more symbolism than anything else. We aren’t anyone’s slaves or anything like that.”

Michelle smiled, “This, I’ve got to hear more about.”

Jan looked at me and asked, “Would you like to take this Mistress?”

I smiled, “Ok Jan, where do I start with a newbie.”

Mitchell laughed, “We may not be in the lifestyle, but we have studied it a little. We just never met anyone who is actually living it.”

I took a deep breath, exhaled and said, “Living it may be a stretch at this point. You see the collars on everyone’s neck?”

The twins nodded in the affirmative.

I said, “I placed them there last night at our collaring ceremony. We just started putting this team together and they are the first five recruits. Justin and Mary are Navy Seals recruited in San Diego on Monday and they joined us at our house last night. Sonia is ex-military and a police officer. She was a Special Operations Field Commander before she separated from the military. Sonia, along with Joe and Jan were part of an operation you probably heard about on the news yesterday. The twins, Joe and Jan, are the children of a close friend of mine who were in hiding from her husband and their father because he became involved with a group, though unlike ours, practiced the more extreme areas of BDSM. That includes slavery and extreme forms of erotic pain and torture. My friend went into hiding because he tried to make slaves of her and their children. We offered her a safe haven pending resolution of their divorce and restraining order.”

“It turns out they found where they were hiding and followed them to our home and were gathering their troops to take them back. Our two resident Seals showed up and Justin noticed the house was under surveillance. We authorized him to take Mary and capture the two behind our home. They accomplished this without being noticed and brought them in.”

“When they saw Morgan, the twin’s mother, one of them went berserk and started yelling that they were going to get her and put her and her two worthless kids where they belonged as slaves to her husband and his Master.”

“We got it all on video and put it in the Chief of Police’s hands. Ultimately, we brought in all six and held them for the police. I gave you this long winded explanation because I want you to understand the capabilities we will have. Sonia actually recruited us. She was passed over for the SWAT team she applied for. In my opinion, their loss is our gain. Sonia was a captain in the Green Berets and has led tactical operations in both Afghanistan and Iraq. She had an eye-opening experience finding out about our lifestyle by walking in on me performing some stress relief for one of my girls, her and my Master kind of joined in.”

I looked at Sonia who was smiling, “I believe she is very happy to be with us. Now back to our lifestyle. What do you know about the phrase anything, anywhere, and anytime?”

Michelle answered, “Since we are discussing your lifestyle, you could ask someone to do anything you want them to do, anywhere you want them to do it, and anytime you want them to do it. Does this pertain to only sex or is it a blanket statement?”

I smiled at Michelle and said, “I would say it’s pretty much a blanket statement. If you wear a collar of mine, or anyone else’s for that matter, they become responsible for you. It is their responsibility to make sure your life is fulfilling, happy, and that you are cared for. On the flip side you must give your complete trust in them. You need to accept that everything they request of you is in your best interest or that of the organization. They should push you outside of your comfort zone and make you uncomfortable from time to time. You cannot grow if you maintain the status quo.”

“I am going to give you an example right now. Since sex is one way to keep each other satisfied, how would you like to take Joe and Jan back to your quarters for an in depth interview between the sheets?”

I looked at Joe and Jan and asked, “Would you like Mitchell and Michelle to take you to their quarters for a more intimate interview?”

Jan’s eyes went wide as she said, “Mistress, are you asking me to make love to that hunk of a man over there as part of the job?”

I smiled, “Yes I am.”

Jan replied, “When do we start?” Jan looked across at Mitchell as she stood and said, “That is unless you aren’t interested in spending a little intimate time with me.”

Mitchell was breathing hard and mouthed something under his breath. Jan asked, “What did he say?”

Michelle laughed, “He said, I am still a virgin, to clarify, so am I. But like you said, let’s do this.”

Jan stated for both her and Joe, “We don’t have much experience either and may as well be virgins.”

Michelle almost jumped across the table at Joe and said, “What are we waiting for? Our quarters are just across the street.”

As they were leaving I stated, “Please use protection, we don’t need any surprises.”

Mitchell laughed and said, “We’ve got it covered.” The two sets of twins disappeared.

I said, “That was easier than I thought, I hope it goes well.” To the ceiling I said, “Commander, can you hear me.”

A minute later he entered the conference room. He looked at me and said, “You’ve got one hell of a recruiting plan.”

I gave him one of those I don’t know what you are talking about looks and turned toward Freya. I asked, “Are you still with us or did we make you uncomfortable? I can answer any questions you may have.”

Freya appeared to be nervous, but said, “I must say I am a little surprised, but I am still with you, what’s next?”

The Commander looked at Freya, then me and laughed, “If what you said is true, you gave the pitch to the right two. They are here in the Marines because they need the regimentation to survive. Great kids, if I can call 23-year-olds, kids. They were raised by very strict parents with very conservative beliefs. They are much better now, but if what you said regarding dominant and submissive they will survive well in your organization. I hope it goes well for them.”

The Commander looked at me and asked, “What else do you need?”

I said that Mary was a pretty good sniper and small arms specialist, Justin is a pretty good security planner and combat training officer, and Sonia is a pretty decent field combat commander.”

The Commander gasped and stated, as he motioned around the room, “Aimee, you are talking about Justin Roberts, Mary Archer, and Sonia Howe? You know, the three legends you brought with you.”

I asked, “Sir, how do you know them?”

He smiled and said, “I have met them all, but know them mostly by reputation.”

The Commander asked me, “Did you really hire three legends in the US Military?”

I laughed and said, “I hired Justin and Mary, Sonia asked to join our team.”

The Commander asked, “If you could arrange a training session, it would be worth losing my best computer geeks?”

I said, “Well Commander, since you know my team, do you have anyone who is up to their caliber or who they can train up to work with them? If you do, maybe we can arrange for one of those training operations.”

The Commander was still beside himself when he asked, “How did you hire all of them? Every government agency is looking to bring them into their fold.”

Sonia told him, “Look at our collars.”

He did and each one said, Property of Aimee Bailey. He looked at all three and asked, “Did each one of you choose to wear those collars?”

Each one replied, “Yes, Sir.”

He asked, “Why did you ask to wear it?”

Sonia replied, “There is something about Aimee that makes you want to serve her.”

Justin said, “This woman, my Mistress, saw into our souls and was able to gain our trust fast. We’ll walk through the gates of hell and drag the devil to her feet. And then watch her win him over too.”

Mary laughed and said, “Amen.”

I was getting embarrassed, so I asked my three, “What do we need to complete our team?” Sonia said, “I could use a few good ground people, maybe with some mechanical experience. My strength is as a field commander, I will need someone to command and train.”

I smiled, “Ok Commander, here is what we need. A trained sniper and weapons specialist that Mary can train and collar, we need a security and combat fighting specialist that Justin can train and maybe help him plan. Then for Sonia, to go along with what Mary and Justin have, some troopers to train up to her standards. Just so you know we have two 17-year-olds that are three weeks from their 18^th birthdays and are already experts in disguise and incursion. I am not sure where they will fit in, but I believe they will.”

The Commander asked, “Where did they learn that?”

I replied, “It was a game they started playing as very young kids to stay out of their parent’s way. Then they studied and learned from their own experiences. From what I am told, they can introduce themselves to you, walk away and return in less than a minute and you will not know they are next to you or who they are. My twins tell me that they have been breaking into secure buildings and giving themselves away as they leave since they were in elementary school. They were caught accidently by a security guard coming out of a restroom who grabbed one and the other refused to leave. The police are trying to pin a number of break-ins on them and even their top face recognition software cannot link pictures of them to the crimes.”

“Their parents have decided to let them stay in jail until they turn 18 and will disown them when they get out. We have the father telling them that on video and my Master will be waiting Monday morning to try and get them released into his custody. At that time we will have a security force that is second to none with a young force to train.”

I pinned a stunned Commander with my eyes and asked, “Do you have anyone that you think will fit into our plans and our lifestyle. It takes both or they will be of no use to us.”

Freya looked at the Commander and said, “I believe you have a recon team of three that are separating soon. Maybe they could be what Sonia is looking for.”

The Commander looked at Freya, then me, “I might have a team, but you will have to sell them on the lifestyle thing.”

I requested, “Commander bring them out and we will split up by specialty.” I also said, “Please don’t try and dump your troubles off on us because I can smell them a mile away. They tried it earlier this week in San Diego and by the time I was done with them they begged their Commander to return them to the brig.”

Justin laughed and said, “Sir, she isn’t kidding, they really requested to be returned to the brig right in front of us. Commander, I can’t tell you how she does it, but whenever I talk to her, I have to tell her my deepest darkest secrets and I am happy about it. She can see into your soul and when she is done you feel like a better man for it. If you are brave enough, give her a try.”

The Commander said, “I probably should stay away from her because my wife can be a little jealous.” We all laughed as he said, “These next three may not be exactly what you are looking for because they are not twins, they are triplets. And, just so you know, they only enlisted because they were given a choice, the Marines or jail. They sent them to me so they could work together. After basic training they were split up into different specialties and spread out around the country for their job training. All of them were washing out because, and I quote the base psychologist for each of them, ‘they couldn’t function without each other.’ The first week they were here, I could see how well they interacted, almost like they were in each other’s heads. After a couple of years of being with me and very intense training, they are my best scout and recon team. My number two isn’t even close.”

The Commander continued, “Justin, just so you know, I have heard about you guys and what you are putting together. I am very impressed with the fact that when your Mistress wants someone, she gets them. Your local Chief of Police’s wife and my wife are very good friends and have been so since college and they still talk almost daily. Don’t push these kids and they will be putty in your hands.”

I looked at the Commander, then over to Sonia and said, “I believe this may be what you are looking for. Think you can handle it, or them?”

Sonia said, “Bring them in, Sir.” Sonia asked the Commander, “Sir, do they have any other specialties and why were they given the choice of the Marines or jail?”

The Commander laughed, “Their other specialty is automotive mechanics. Though that really doesn’t tell their full story, if it has a motor, they can fix it so it purrs like a kitten. They were arrested when they worked at a chop shop in East LA. The judge saw that they weren’t the problem and gave them the Marines as an out and they jumped on it.”

Sonia asked, “Why didn’t the Marines stick them in a motor pool somewhere?”

The Commander shook his head, “Because sometimes we Marines are a little pig headed. We figured we’d give them something else to keep them out of trouble.”

Sonia smiled, “Commander, let me have them, we’ll see where this goes and what they think about what we have to offer them.”

They were brought in and the Commander introduced them. “This is Diego, Juan, and Maria Gomez.” He then introduced us. We talked to them for almost an hour with Sonia taking the lead, Justin and Mary also asked a few questions. As their questions were starting to cover old ground I looked from one triplet to the next. I had been quiet throughout most of the questioning.

As I spoke, all eyes turned to me. I looked from one triplet to the others, and then said, “I have some very personal questions for you. It will not, and I repeat, will not determine whether or not we offer you a job. Your qualifications are impeccable and we have heard nothing but good things about you since we arrived here. And, now it is time to broach the tough questions and they will probably make you uncomfortable. But, I expect truthful answers from each of you.” I paused and stated, “I can deal with emotions, but lies give me headaches, I can only deal with the truth. I have been called a human lie detector and so far I feel pretty good about today, don’t mess it up.”

I looked at them individually and each replied, “Yes ma’am.”

I took a deep breath and asked, “Are you sexually active with each other?

Everyone in the room gasped, but I just smiled.

The triplets looked at each other and nodded. I said, “Thank you, any other answer would have been unacceptable to me, because it is written all over your faces and your body language speaks volumes.”

The triplets let out their breath and smiled back at me. Like their deepest, darkest secret was finally out.

I asked, “Who is the most dominant of the three of you?”

Diego and Juan both looked at Maria, Juan said, “She is, when she wants it or asks for anything, we have to perform or she will go out and find someone else.”

I laughed out loud, “I know exactly how she feels.”

My team was quiet and looking at her with their mouths open.

I continued with my next question, “How much do you know about the dominant/submissive relationship?”

Maria answered, “The dominant speaks and the submissive listens and does as they are told.”

I smiled at Maria, “In some instances, yes.” I asked Maria, “Who is your dominant?”

Diego and Juan replied in stereo, “No one dominates Maria.”

Maria smiled at her brothers, “My squad leader. I cannot tell him no, anything he wants I give him.” For the first time, her brothers were visibly upset.

I held up my hand to the brothers in a calming motion and asked Maria, “Do you know why?”

Maria looked at the table and said, “No, I can’t say no to him.”

I asked Maria, “Would you like to know why?”

Maria looked at me as a tear ran down her cheek and said, “Yes, please tell me why.”

I looked at Maria, “I believe that you are what we call a switch. Dominant in most areas of your life, but you still have a deep down desire to be submissive to someone or something. Your squad leader brings you balance in some way and this is not a negative thing.”

The brothers looked at me and Diego said, “It has always been like this. One person, only one person, can tell her what to do and it is never one of us. There is always one, who told her, then she told us and it got done. That is how we were arrested, the boss of the chop shop wanted a specific car and we were directed through Maria to get it for him. It was in a high security garage and rarely driven, but we had to get it for him and as we were about to get away with it building security was on us like white on rice. A month later we were in basic training.”

I smiled, “Ok guys, this one is for you. When Maria shows interest in a man, how do you feel?”
