Chapter 27: Graduation

It was like no graduation ever seen in the town. Everyone was very conscious of the fact that the students were setting forth to create a new world order. The media had flocked to the town. There wasn't a room to be had within 15 miles. They had to move graduation to the football field and set up extra bleachers. To be sure the weather was warm enough, they delayed it for three weeks. It was good because competition for proper dress had become fierce. The girls started vying with each other to see who could capture the most male stares and before long, the mothers got into the spirit of it too.

Sidney Burns had decided to have a graduation queen chosen just as they had one at the prom. As the inter-generational rivalry heated up, he was forced to add one for the mothers as well. The men would decide for them although no man could vote for his own wife. The boys would choose from the girls and again, no one could vote for his own slave.

There were a small number of people, both students and parents who refused to participate. They were called "contras" and thought of as slightly odd. They were determined to reverse the change and go back to a traditional approach to morality. Surprisingly, instead of boycotting the event, they came to look down on those who were there. They thought that the pressure would be more effective that way.

After much discussion, Paul had chosen the girls' outfits. After he had talked to Mr. Burns, he had decided that a formal ceremony of his own was in order. The girls belonged to him and he wanted them to feel that to their core. He had told Jennifer to have both of them dressed as erotically as possible and let them decide what that was. He had also added that Betty was to be bound completely for him so that when he got home, she could have the rest of her punishment.

Later he told Mr. Burns what he had done and how afterward, both girls were crying, not from pain but from a feeling of being treasured and valued. It had impressed the principal and he had decided that would be the theme for the graduation.

Jennifer was dressed in a black leather body harness and a very short black leather skirt. She wore black high boots with five inch heels that accentuated her long, graceful legs. Her breasts were left bare. She had her long hair tied back in a pony tail with a red ribbon. For emphasis, she carried a riding crop. She almost looked like a Domme but he demeanor was so gentle and so subservient to Paul that her status was clear. He had spent weeks teaching her to swivel her hips when she walked so that she undulated in a way that would catch any male eye.

For contrast, blonde Betty was dressed in a cupless white teddie with a white garter-belt, white stockings and white pumps with five inch stiletto heels. She wore her hair in twin tails, one on each side, tied with pink ribbons. She, too, had been trained to walk with an exaggerated wriggle. The combination was devastating. Just to put them in a suitable frame of mind, Paul had them kneel before him and told them to properly beg to remain his slaves.

Betty began, "Master, I was nothing before you came into my life. I was selfish and self serving. I had no direction and was heading fast for a dead end life. You brought me purpose and awakened the reason I am here. You taught me self-discipline and the wonders of being slave. I beg you, please keep me. You are the very breath in my soul that feeds my being." Betty fell from her kneeling position and began to cry openly on his boots.

Paul reached down, grabbing her hair and bringing her face upwards; he wiped at her tears with his other hand. "We began this journey together and have both learned and grown in it together. I accept the responsibilities of ownership. I will care for you and teach you each day that which you need to be complete. Betty, I take you as my property. From this moment in time you are slave to Master Paul."

He turned to Jennifer and said "Bring me the paddle." He sat on the edge of the bed and, having Betty lie across his lap, gave her a sound spanking. By the time it was done she was crying again.

"Kneel slave." He commanded. Betty knelt with her legs spread wide, eyes downward and hands behind her back. He walked over to the dresser and brought back a small black case.

Betty held her breath as the cold leather wrapped around her throat and the buckle was fastened.

"Betty, I collar you as my property. This collar is my symbol and is to never be removed, unless I do so." With that Paul took her hand and brought her up into his arms. He looked into her eyes and smiled. Betty was crying again.

Now it was Jennifer's turn. "Kneel," Paul ordered. She immediately knelt. The skirt rode up on her thighs revealing her bare pussy. She rested back on her heels, thrusting her small, firm breasts out. Her eyes gleamed with unshed tears as she awaited her Master.

"You are first girl and will remain so at my pleasure. Beg me properly to keep you as my slave."

Jennifer immediately bent to lick and kiss Paul's boots. "Please Master, this worthless slave desperately implores you to keep it. This slave loves you Master. This slave will do anything at all for your pleasure. Though she is unworthy of a Master like you, she humbly asks that you keep her anyway. She begs for your collar."

"Very well," said Paul. He reached into the box once again and drew out yet another strip of leather which he fastened about Jennifer's throat. "Jennifer, I collar you as my property. This collar is my symbol and is to never be removed, unless I do so. Now put your head down and stick your ass up."

When she had done so, Paul handed Betty the paddle and told her to let Jennifer know that she was only First Girl at his pleasure. Betty smiled broadly and went to work on her sister slave with gusto. Soon Jennifer was wriggling and vainly trying to avoid the swats of the leather paddle which rained down on her. At last, Paul told Betty, "That's enough." A bit reluctantly, Betty stopped and handed him the paddle.

"Strip for me slave."

Jennifer had been trained and knew what to do. Slowly, acting shy as she knew Paul liked, she removed the costume, sensuously and teasing as much as possible. Once she was naked she started to lay face-down over Paul's lap but he stopped her. "Let me check you." He put a finger in her pussy and found her very wet. "I see my slave approves of her status," he said approvingly. Then he took her over his lap and began to spank her again with his hand.

As her bottom reddened, Jennifer began to again kick and squirm but Paul kept on going. Finally he let her up and told the two girls, "You have both been good and deserve a reward. Betty, take off everything."

Just as Jennifer had done, Betty put on an excellent and erotic strip tease as she took off her teddie. She started to take off her stockings and garter belt as well but Paul stopped her. He had the naked Jennifer put one on as well. Then he told her to put her boots back on. Paul handed Jennifer back her crop and told her to just give Betty a taste to make sure both of them knew who was in charge. Betty's mouth formed a moue but she cooperated.

Paul put on matching wrist cuffs and ankle cuffs on each girl, taking his time in fondling them and swatting their bottoms with his hand. Then he led them into the other room where he had told them their graduation present was. They looked and saw a strange contraption hanging from the ceiling. It looked pretty much like a trapeze with two sets of cuffs hanging from the ends of the pole. There were chains in an inverted V shape coming up to a single central chain which was attached to the ceiling. A large device of some sort was covered with a sheet.

Paul pointed to the stuff proudly. "This is for you.

"Wait here for a minute, I forgot something. Do not look under the sheet."

The girls clung together and looked at each other. The look was one of concern. Although Paul was a good Master, the contraption looked ominous.

"What do you think is under there Betty?"

"I don't know. Do you think it's some sort of punishment machine?"

"No. After all, he said it's a present. Why would he give us a punishment machine?"
