Chapter 17: Consequences

When I dreamed up the ‘beast of burden’ game, I only anticipated us playing it a few times before moving onto something less exhausting. I didn’t realise how enthusiastic Adam, Davy and Sarah would be for the game, although I expect what they really look forward to is the shower and games afterwards. They suggest alterations to the game which I would never have imposed by myself, but I’m happy to allow. Shackles and nudity become features of the game, and each of them tries to complete the task faster than the other two.

Sarah asks permission to have the playroom converted back to a main bedroom so that I can have a room more appropriate for her Domina. What she’s really hinting at is that she’s okay with me inviting Davy to move in with us, although she’s leaving it to me to decide whether Davy and I share the same room. My relationship with Davy has gradually developed beyond the sex games and casual dating into a romantic liaison, so I readily agree to Sarah’s suggestion.

The rocks leave the basement in preparation for relocating the playroom. They now form a rockery in the garden, built by three very contented slaves. The equipment in the playroom gets moved down into the dungeon once an area has been suitably prepared, and the upstairs room converted back to a master bedroom. The bedroom conversion is done to Sarah’s design, and the stone floor and the various metal rings in the floor and ceiling are left in place. The room is beautifully furnished and decorated, befitting the mistress of the house, but it is also my private playroom should I wish to use it as such. I’m impressed that Sarah has such a good understanding of my own desires and fetishes. As a reward I have her join me in my new bedroom one night and we have sex and play bondage games until the early hours of the morning. It’s a new first for me as it is the first time I have slept with another person sharing my bed.

With Sarah’s approval, I invite Davy to move in with me and to start sharing my bed. He has no hesitation in accepting, although it now presents new challenges on how to manage our dual life relationship. Like Adam and I, Davy doesn’t want to immerse himself into a full time dominant-submissive lifestyle. Like Adam, he needs to accommodate the demands of his job, and it means we need to be flexible in our arrangements. Another issue is that Davy is able to take on a dominant role when the need arises. Occasionally there are situations in our games where one of the slaves must take a less submissive role than the other two. Invariably it is Davy who takes on the dominant role, although never to the same extent as me.

Over the following weeks we develop our relationships and our games into realms I never would have thought possible. But it isn’t all plain sailing. Sarah has obviously picked up on Davy’s latent dominant streak and she subconsciously submits to his will. It doesn’t affect how Sarah behaves with me, but she invariably follows Davy’s lead rather than Adam’s when we play games. Adam’s role as my fuck toy only emphasises his low status compared to Davy in our four-way relationship, and by extension, it clearly influences Sarah’s attitude towards both Adam and Davy. I’m not sure how I feel about the situation and I’m not even sure Sarah realises the subtle change in her behaviour.

I’ve passed the stage where I feel it appropriate to ask mum’s advice every time I encounter a problem. I belatedly realise that introducing Davy into our games has unintentionally complicated the established relationship between Sarah and Adam. Davy hasn’t consciously done anything wrong, but even his weak dominant streak is bending Sarah to his will. There’s nothing sexual between Sarah and Davy beyond the erotic nature of our games, so part of me says I should do nothing. But I still have the feeling that I need to make a change of some sort before the good relationship between Adam, Sarah and Davy comes unstuck.

My solution is to appoint Davy as my slave overseer during our games, placing him in the role of being submissive to me, but dominant over Sarah and Adam. To some extent it simply recognises what was already happening. However, I make it a condition of Davy’s privileged position that any punishment earned by Sarah or Adam during a game is also suffered by Davy. This leads to an interesting side game between the three of them. While Sarah and Adam never try to get the other into trouble with me, the same consideration doesn’t apply to the recently promoted Davy.

Game punishments are a relatively new element to our games, and they differ from the weekly confession and consequential punishment administered for breaking our rules. Game punishments are carried out immediately during a game and can be as simple as kissing my feet to something really painful. Sarah and Adam soon create an alliance to ensure Davy doesn’t have too easy a time. The overall effect is to restore the harmony and balance between the three of them.

With Davy now available to cater for my sexual needs, I slowly reduce the number of times I use Adam as my fuck toy. I don’t stop entirely as it has become an expected feature of my relationship with Sarah. She is still fully immersed in her slave lifestyle and Sarah isn’t faking her arousal when she witnesses me using Adam as a fuck toy. Being made to share Adam with me seems to reinforce our relationship in her mind. As time goes on I realise that Adam and Sarah share a ‘friends with benefits’ type of relationship, and that there’s nothing deeper developing between them. Consequently I don’t ease back my control or my own sexual demands on them both. Neither of them ever shows any sign of jealousy or resentment when I do something sexual with the other slave. Davy is aware on my sexual demands on Sarah and Adam, but I try to avoid any potential jealousy by only having Adam fuck me when Davy isn’t around. I’m not sure if it’s a necessary precaution since Davy gets aroused when he sees Sarah and I using vibrators or strap-on cocks on each other, and none of us keep Adam’s role as my fuck toy a secret.

I abandon the requirement for Sarah and Adam to text me before having an orgasm. It was fun doing that for a while, but it was becoming tedious. Instead I require them to throw a pair of dice and obey whatever the results table dictates. It would be easy to cheat and the process is based on trust, but so was the previous regime. For all I know they don’t bother with the dice at all. They do however continue to confess failures to hold back an orgasm when expected to do so. Of course they may be confessing to fictitious events simply so that I can punish the miscreant. Despite Adam’s earlier problems with restraining his orgasm, thankfully a problem my training regime has now cured, Sarah is the one who seems to have the most failures. But then she is also the one who enjoys being punished the most.

I still control Sarah’s and Adam’s lives in other ways as well, although they may not fully realise it. By my orders, neither of them spends time using social media, nor do they use electronic devices other than for work. I don’t impose the same rules on Davy as he never uses social media, and he only uses electronic devices sparingly.

Just as we start to feel happy that we have adjusted our lifestyle to suit all the competing demands on our time, a spanner gets thrown in the works. Davy has three sisters, the older two of whom I met in the restaurant when Sarah first introduced me to Davy. His youngest sister, Penny, has recently returned home from college and during the family celebrations for her 19^th birthday managed to drop a bombshell on her parents by confessing that she’s a lesbian. Apparently there’s no immediate prospect of a reconciliation between Penny and her parents, so now she needs somewhere to else stay for an indefinite period. When Davy mentions his family troubles to Sarah, she promptly suggests inviting Penny to use the room I once occupied.

While I have no objection to us renting the room to Penny, I’m concerned about the effect of having someone living in the house who isn’t part of our shared lifestyle. Davy agrees with me, but suggests that we should at least all meet with Penny before dismissing the idea. Since there’s nothing to lose in meeting with Penny, so I agree.

Davy brings Penny to our house the following Saturday lunchtime. I immediately wonder if Davy has briefed Penny about our lifestyle despite his promise not to do so. Either way, it’s a strange coincidence that she’s dressed in a sexy yellow vinyl minidress and matching boots. I turn to Sarah to enquire if Penny’s dress is one of Sarah’s creations, but Sarah indicates that it isn’t one of hers. Penny must already have owned the dress before Davy invited her to meet us. Does this mean that she’s a potential addition to our little group? I suspect Davy knows more about his sister’s fetishes than he’s letting on. Anyway, I see no harm in exploring the possibility of expanding our group.

“Did Davy mention that Sarah designs and produces clothing like the dress you are wearing?” I ask as an icebreaker.

“Yes, he told me on the way here,” replies Penny. “I must have a look at your products sometime, Sarah.”

“I can show you some of the outfits Sarah has made for me, if you like,” I add.

“Really? I’d like that,” replies Penny.

“Well, why don’t I leave you talking to Sarah and Adam for a few minutes while I go and put one on.”

I don’t wait for a reply and I promptly head to Davy’s and my room to put on one of Sarah’s creations. I return to the living room a few minutes later to find Sarah showing off her collar to Penny. If Penny was still uncertain about the nature of our collective relationship, then seeing me in my Domina’s outfit dispels any doubt.
