A Kindred Spirit

“Is she sure about this?” Jane asks, for perhaps the third time since Chad, Willow, and Valentina arrived. While the week with Chad and Willow had apparently gone well, Jane is still slightly apprehensive. Valentina may never have integrated into the household the way Jane hoped, but she still cares about her well-being.

“Yes, Mistress.” Alexia says, not bothering to ask again. “I told her we could wait another week, but it’s not necessary. Valentina is happy with her choice.”

“Ok.” Jane says, exhaling slowly. Pressing the button on her phone, she sends the transfer request to Chad.

“Accepted.” Willow says, reaching over to tap the button on Chad’s screen. “Are you still coming to the camp for the preview?”

“Lorraine is going to go with me.” Jane says. “She was stopping by to pick up Edna first.”

“We’ll see you there.” Willow says. “I know Valentina is ready to get going.”

Valentina bends down, hefting the last box of her belongings, before giving them all an impatient look.

“Ok.” Jane says, after a moment’s pause, watching them head out the door.

“This is for the best, Mistress.” Alexia whispers, putting an arm around her. “She would never have been fulfilled here.”

“I know.” Jane says, wiping away a single tear. “Goodbyes are just hard.”

“Except when it’s goodbye to that bitch Lindsey.” Alexia says cheerily. “Besides, this isn’t goodbye. She’ll still be here helping out with the renovations.”

“I know.” Jane says again, leaning her head onto Alexia’s shoulder.

“We’ve still got a while before Lorraine gets here.” Alexia says suggestively.

Jane looks over at her, smiling. “I guess we do.”

Just as they reach the master bedroom, Jane’s phone beeps. “Maybe we don’t.” She says, pulling it out to read the text. “Lorraine just left Edna’s.”

“Damn.” Alexia mutters. “Tonight?”

“Hmm…” Jane mumbles as she thinks. “Yes, I think we can make that work. Tell the girls I’m pushing the schedule back a day.”

“Oh, I’m so relieved you are willing to talk to little Suzie.” Edna rambles as the car pulls out of the driveway. “This business with her husband is just awful. I tried to tell her, before all of this, that she needed to try a little harder. That boy always had a wandering eye, and when that’s the case, you have to work hard to keep them happy at home.”

“It’s not her fault.” Lorraine says firmly. “That ‘boy’ is a piece of shit. He’s not a boy either, he’s almost your age, Jane. I gave his parents a piece of my mind, and they didn’t even defend him. Can you imagine, your wife gets detained, Tom offers to give her back so she doesn’t have to go to the camp, and you say no? It’s despicable.”

“Wait, why didn’t he take her?” Jane asks. “Were they just not getting along?”

“Her idiot husband has been cheating on her every chance he gets, since just after they got married.” Lorraine explains. “He was discreet about it at first, but eventually he got sloppy, and the whole town knew about it. Ever since then, they fight, and then they make up, and then his truck gets spotted outside of someone’s house, and the whole thing starts over again.”

“Why the hell didn’t she leave?” Jane asks incredulously.

“Our family does not do divorce.” Edna says firmly. “For better and for worse. Rich and poorer. She just needed to try harder. Start a family, help settle him down.”

Jane’s face screws up at Edna’s words. “Have kids with a serial cheater who doesn’t care about her?”

“Marriage is serious.” Edna says. “He would have come around eventually.”

“Divorce wasn’t really an option for either of them.” Lorraine explains. “His family likes to think they are important in town, and his parents would have cut him off if he tried to get a divorce. They threatened it every time he embarrassed them, but as long as Suzie stuck around, they didn’t follow through. Now he’s hiding behind the excuse that they aren’t married anymore, because she is detained.”

“I’m not sure…” Jane starts to say. “Wait, is that how that works?”

“I asked Tom, and even he isn’t really sure.” Lorraine admits. “I don’t think anyone has pushed to get that legally defined. I think if they do, that’ll probably be the decision. Concubines have no legal rights, and a marriage is a legal partnership.”

“Ok…” Jane says, mind racing. “You said they fight, and then they make up. What’s the chance she wants to try to make up again?”

“Oh, no dear.” Edna says. “I’ve tried to talk to her, but after the auction last weekend, she is more likely to kill him than make up with him.”

Glancing in the mirror, and seeing Jane’s confusion, Lorraine chimes in. “Everyone, even his parents, have been trying to get him to do the right thing. He finally showed up at the auction last Friday, and so Tom put Suzie up first. A few of us went around before the bidding, to make sure no one else bid on her, and we all thought she was finally going home. When we told Suzie, she was so relieved. Then the little cocksucker just sat there, and didn’t bid on her. To make things worse, he bought three other girls, including one he’d been screwing around with behind Suzie’s back.”

“Jesus Christ! She has every right to be pissed.” Jane says. “Between hanging her out to dry, and buying his girlfriend instead, she has to be done with him.”

“Language!” Edna scolds, much to Jane’s annoyance. “Both of you.”

“Anyhow, the point is, you don’t have to worry about her wanting him back.” Lorraine says. “I’ve been to see her several times this week, and she’s always either completely depressed or fuming mad.”

“I bet.” Jane says, looking out the window at the view as they turn onto a curvy road to begin the rapid ascent to the camp.

*****

“This isn’t quite what I expected.” Jane says quietly to Lorraine as they lagged a bit behind Edna. “Cheryl said the camp was in a prison.”

Ahead of them is a small building, beyond which is a series of buildings that almost look like single story dorms, or those little hotels from the fifties and sixties that used to be in every town that had seasonal tourism. The total lack of a fence, with the only visible security being a small guard shack on the road up the mountain, is what Jane finds the most surprising.

“It was a prison.” Lorraine explains. “It was never the ‘razor wire and guards prepared to shoot the inmates’ kind of prison you see in movies. This was for minimum security prisoners, who didn’t have really long sentences.”

“So, it was Camp Cupcake…” Jane says.

“Basically.” Lorraine shrugs. “It was never made for as many women as we had in here, but given the short notice, Tom didn’t have a ton of options. I know he’ll be glad to see this place shut down again.”

When they reach the double doors of the small administrative building, they approach the reception window, where Edna is already engaging with the woman behind the glass.

“Suzie Ward to reception, Suzie Ward to reception!” The receptionist called into an old-fashioned PA system, before nodding towards the chairs behind them.

As Edna moves to take her seat, Lorraine approaches, having a short conversation with the receptionist, before waving Jane to a seat next to Edna. At Jane’s inquiring look, she explains quietly. “I’m trying to arrange a bidder for her. Her husband passed away last year, and she didn’t have any obvious choices…”

“Oh, God.” Jane gasps. “That’s terrible.”

“It is, but the good news is that I think I’ve found someone for her.” Lorraine whispers. “He’s a widower, and his allotment is only one. I think they’ll be good for each other.”

“What?” Edna asks, looking over at Lorraine. “I can’t hear you.”

“Nothing, dear.” Lorraine says loudly, before turning to stare off into space. Jane pulls out her phone, checking on things at home while they wait.

A few minutes later, Jane shoves her phone in her pocket as the door leading into the camp opens rather aggressively, admitting a clearly very angry woman in her mid-twenties. Her tanned skin is flushed red, long dark hair trailing after her as she marches into the room. Jane takes a moment to admire her trim figure, before the woman comes to a stop in front of Lorraine.

“He’s letting that bitch wear my clothes!” She screeches. “That little pigfucker! I should have cut off his balls years ago!”

Jane smiles involuntarily, recognizing a kindred spirit in the fiery woman.

“Suzie, Honey, you are making a spectacle.” Edna begins. “The Lord gives us trials, and we women must bear them with grace and dignity.”

“Fuck the Lord!” Suzie yells, leading to gasps from every person in the building, except Jane, who is doing her best not to cackle.

“Suzie.” Lorraine attempts to intervene. “You shouldn’t say that.”

Edna stands shakily, clearly still in shock. “I’m going to wait in the car.” She mutters, before shuffling towards the door.

When the door closes behind her, Jane can’t help herself. “I thought poor Edna might have a stroke right here.” She says, doing her best to keep a straight face.

As the angry gaze fixes upon her, Jane adds, failing to keep the jocularity from her voice. “I agree with you. It does sound like he would be less trouble without his balls.”

At this, the expression on Suzie’s face slackens, nearly morphing into a smile for a moment, before transitioning into a frown. “Who are you?”

“Suzie, this is Jane.” Lorraine cuts in. “She has a spot open in her house, and we thought she might be a good fit for you. I’m going to go check on Edna, why don’t you two get acquainted?”

With this, Lorraine stands, quickly exiting the building.

“Is there somewhere we can talk?” Jane asks, looking around the room. “This isn’t exactly private.”

Suzie nods tersely, before moving towards the door she so recently slammed open.

Walking a bit faster than Jane can, Suzie builds a bit of a lead before stopping to look back.

“Sorry, I’m not twenty anymore.” Jane says.

“There’s a picnic table over there.” Suzie says, nodding towards a cluster of trees away from the buildings.

“That’ll work.” Jane says, walking alongside Suzie, who slows down enough to maintain her position.

“I’m sorry about back there.” Suzie flushes.

“About the pigfucker?” Jane asks with a laugh. “Or fucking the Lord?”

“Both, I guess.” Suzie says grudgingly. “I’m not normally like this, but I’ve taken just about all of the shit I can take, and Edna…”

“I get it.” Jane says. “Being told to be a good girl when the whole world is falling apart is definitely not helpful.”

“It’s not!” Suzie exclaims. “It’s not fucking helpful at all.”

“Well…” Jane says, taking a seat as they reach the picnic table. “I can’t promise to never tell you to be good, but I won’t get upset if you want to fantasize about castrating your ex. It’s not like I’ve never done it.”

“Ooh.” Suzie says, leaning forward conspiratorially. “Do tell.”

“There is a lot of time for that later.” Jane says. “I don’t want to keep Edna and Lorraine waiting too long. They told me about your situation, but I want to hear about it from you. Not just the stuff from today, but where it started going wrong.”

Suzie sighs, leaning back. After taking a moment to think, she begins. “It never really went right. When the pigfucker took an interest in me, my family was thrilled. He’s an only child, and his parents are kind of loaded. I put up with things I shouldn’t have, from the very beginning. I didn’t want to disappoint my family…”

“Family expectations can be hard.” Jane agrees.

“Everyone told me that marriage would make things better, but it only made it worse. I ended up spending twelve hours a day working at his family’s business, doing his job for him, while he fucked around. Every time I left, even for a few days, things started to fall apart. Employees would call me constantly, paychecks wouldn’t go out, his parents would blow up my phone, and then they’d have my family start on me…” Suzie explains.

“What did you do at the business?” Jane asks.

“Fucking everything, it felt like.” Suzie says. “HR, payroll, ordering, making basically any major decision. Occasionally he would come in, and then I’d have to unfuck everything he touched.”

“One of my girls has a small business, she makes clothes, leather goods, that kind of thing.” Jane says. “And we are eventually going to start growing food, and raising some livestock. I’ve got a few other ideas, but I don’t have the time or knowledge to plan them out. I’ve got someone trying to learn the finance side of things, but it’s not her strength, and frankly, she’d be happy to hand it off. Is that something you could help with?”

“Sure.” Suzie says. “Whatever you have going has to be simpler than what I was doing. Dealing with employees, while you have incompetent ownership trying to screw things up constantly, was the biggest problem. It doesn’t sound like that will be an issue with you?”

“No.” Jane says. “We plan to keep it all inside of the family, and I don’t need you to handle the other girls, so HR and payroll won’t be something you need to worry about. We mainly need help with the books. I’m fairly good with finances, but I’ve never run a business, and I don’t have time to learn right now. I need detailed info on what we are spending, what we are bringing in, and then help figuring out how to optimize that.”

“I can do that.” Suzie says. “That’s the easy part of the job.”

“Then I should tell you about me, my hubby, and our other girls, so you can decide if you want me to buy you tomorrow. In fact, the main reason I wanted to talk to you was because you know one of my girls.”

“Who?” Suzie asks.

“Megan.” Jane replies.

“Ugh.” Suzie grunts, face wrinkling up in disgust. “Is she still in that awful fake blonde phase? I can’t stand that shit.”

“We had it dyed back.” Jane says. “We didn’t care for the fake color, or the attitude that came with it. I understand you two used to be close?”

“Yeah, I was basically her big sister for a while, until she went to college.” Suzie says. “It’s like her personality shifted overnight. Everything I taught her was just gone, and she became a blonde bimbo. She came back home wearing a pink dress… pink… She hates pink, she was a fucking barrel racer for God’s sake, not a city girl who is afraid of dirt.”

“I’m guessing she didn’t take too well to you questioning her about that?” Jane asks.

“I never got the chance.” Suzie says. “She started avoiding me. That was around the time I got married. I really could have used a friend, and she just ghosted me.”

“We’ve had some issues with her off and on since she arrived with us.” Jane explains. “We thought we had them fixed, but they’ve popped back up, and I was hoping you might be able to help.”

Suzie sighs loudly. “What did she do now?”

*****

When Jane walks out of the main door of the camp, she’s greeted by Lorraine, who drops her cigarette, before rubbing it out with her shoe. “How’d it go?” She asks.

“Really well.” Jane says with a smile. “I think she’s a good fit for us.”

“I’ll have Tom put her up early tomorrow.” Lorraine says.

“Thanks.” Jane says. “How’s Edna?”

“Scandalized?” Lorraine laughs quietly, not wanting Edna to hear. “You ready to head back?”

Jane nods, opening the back driver side door, and climbing in.

“I apologize for Suzie.” Edna says loudly when Jane begins buckling her seat belt. “She’s normally a sweet girl. Those other women must be a bad influence on her. Lorraine, are they doing church services here on Sundays? These people need Jesus.”

“The pastors are taking turns coming up on Sunday afternoon.” Lorraine says, having gotten into the car, and begun the drive back to town. “Maybe you should mention it on Sunday, and see if they can do something mid-week.”

“Isn’t the camp closing in a few weeks?” Jane asks. “There are only three auctions left, aren’t there?”

“Oh…” Edna says. “That’s true. Are you getting Suzie tomorrow?”

“Yes.” Jane says, carefully phrasing her next words so as not to offend Edna. “I think she’ll be fine, she just needs some time to get past that awful husband of hers.”

“She needs Jesus.” Edna insists. “I’ll make sure to save a pew for you on Sunday, so she can start getting right with God.”

“Oh, Thanks…” Jane mutters, desperately trying to think of a way out of this without causing rumors in town.

“Oh, Edna.” Lorraine says, sensing the dilemma. “I don’t think the Wolfe’s are Baptists. But I’m sure Jane will make sure Suzie’s soul is well taken care of.”

Craning her neck, Edna looks back suspiciously. “You aren’t Methodists, are you? I’ve heard all sorts of things about Methodists. I heard they allow women to be preachers. And even allow the gays to attend service. It’s just awful.”

“No, we aren’t Methodists.” Jane says honestly, desperately hoping they weren’t about to run through the faults of every Protestant denomination, and wondering if she could invent a plausible sounding one to claim to belong to.

“Did Suzie calm down a bit once you got to talking?” Lorraine asks, clearly trying to rescue Jane again.

“Oh, she did.” Jane says in relief. “The poor thing was just overwrought. I think getting her out of that camp will help tremendously. She was telling me about her work. It sounds like she is going to be a big help at home.”

*****

“Did you want to ride with me tomorrow night?” Lorraine asks as the car pulls up at the house.

“I’ll take my car.” Jane responds. “I want to get home before Robert gets suspicious, so as soon as I win the bid, I plan to be on my way.”

“Thank you, dear.” Edna says, having calmed down a bit on the drive back. “If she gives you any problems, just let me know. She was always such a good girl growing up…”

“I’m sure she will be fine.” Jane says, closing the door before Edna can rope her back into the conversation. Waving at the pair in the car, she quickly mounts the steps to get inside.

“How did it go, Mistress?” Alexia asks quietly.

Glancing at the closed door of Robert’s office, Jane motions for Alexia to move to the sitting area. When they arrive, Jane responds quietly. “Get Lucia and Amber, and have them meet me…” Taking a moment to think of where they could all speak without being overheard, she continues. “At the front door, I guess. We can talk outside.”

Alexia nods, vanishing up the stairs. Jane wanders over to Robert’s office, knocking on the door before slipping inside. “How is work going?” Jane asks when she is sure Robert isn’t in a meeting.

“Slow.” Robert says. “Meetings most of the day, and none of them really involve me. I think they just invite me because having more people there makes them feel more important.”

“I’m sorry.” Jane says, coming closer to sit in his lap. “How would you like some special stress relief tonight? I’ve got an idea I think you’ll love.”

“That sounds nice. I had to turn the girls away again today. The stupid camera on policy for the meetings is a real bummer.” Robert admits.

“The camera can’t see under the desk.” Jane points out.

“No, but it can see my face.” Robert laughs. “I think we both know that wouldn’t work.”

“True.” Jane laughs. “Just wait until after dinner. I’m going to go get your surprise ready.”

Robert smiles wanly, pulling her in for a kiss.

When Jane closes the door behind her, she finds her girls waiting for her. Heading out the door, she walks towards the newly occupied goat pasture, glancing around to make sure no one else is outside, before turning to face them.

“The interview went well. I plan to bring her home tomorrow.” Jane says. “After speaking with her, I think she could be a big help to you, Amber. I’d like to put her under you, but you already have four girls, and Alexia and Lucia only have three. Well, two for Alexia now that Valentina has moved on. You also have Isabel to keep an eye on. It doesn’t make sense for you to have five people to keep up with, and Alexia to only have two. The point is, we need to shuffle assignments again.”

Taking a moment to survey the faces of her three most trusted girls, Jane continues. “I’m open to ideas about who to move around. Do any of you have a preference on a girl you think fits better under you, or that you have now that you aren’t getting along with?”

“I’m happy with my group.” Lucia says. “Kendra keeps to herself, and Mei is Mei, but I’ve got a handle on it.”

“No complaints here, Mistress.” Alexia adds.

When Jane looks at Amber, she flushes slightly. “Mistress, Megan can be a bit of a handful, but I can handle her.”

“Suzie should help with that.” Jane says. “I want to keep them together, and Layne as well.”

“Do you want me to take them?” Alexia offers.

“Amber?” Jane asks, looking at her. “You can either have those three, or Taylor, Emily, Jia, and Reyna.”

A conflicted look passes across her face, before she speaks up. “I can take either group, Mistress.”

“Good. This isn’t permanent.” Jane reminds them. “We can always adjust again. In fact, I’m fairly certain we will.”

“Yes, Mistress.” Amber says, bowing her head.

“Lucia, can you make dinner tonight?” Jane asks.

“That was the plan.” Lucia says. “It’s my night to cook.”

“Excellent.” Jane says. “Alexia, get Mei and bring her to my room. I’ll be there shortly.”

When Alexia turns to go back to the house, Jane smiles and nods at Lucia, who follows her cousin. When they are out of earshot, Jane looks at Amber. “This isn’t meant to be a punishment. You are more familiar with Megan than Alexia is, and you have some level of rapport. I trust you more than anyone to keep an eye on Megan when Suzie shows up. If Suzie pushes her too hard, I’ll need you to step in.”

“Yes, Mistress.” Amber says. “Thank you for your confidence in me.”

“One more thing.” Jane says, taking half a step to close the gap between them. “I’m going to need someone to fill in for Lucia when she gets further along, and probably for a few months after the baby is born. I had planned to bump Mei into that spot, but with everything that has happened lately, there is no chance I would trust her to supervise other girls. I need someone else who can step up and keep things moving in the right direction. Maybe Suzie can be that person. If not, I need another name.”

“Mistress…” Amber says hesitantly. “You mentioned Suzie being a help to me, but also her filling in for Lucia.”

“I mentioned needing someone to fill in for Lucia.” Jane says. “I was actually thinking that Suzie might be able to hold down your position temporarily, and you might cover for Lucia. If Suzie doesn’t have the right temperament to supervise, I’ll probably need to leave you where you are, and find someone else to handle Lucia’s duties.”

“Mistress, I don’t really know anything about cooking.” Amber admits. “I believe I would disappoint everyone in that role.”

“Mei would handle the cooking.” Jane says. “You could help with prep, cleanup, ordering, you know… all of the other stuff Lucia does that isn’t cooking, and most importantly, keep an eye on Mei so we don’t have any more incidents. I can ask Alexia, and have you cover her duties, but I would rather not move everyone at once.”

“Yes, Mistress.” Amber nods.

“You don’t have to decide now.” Jane reassures her. “I’ll give you time to get to know Suzie, and then we can make a decision.”

*****

When Jane enters her bedroom, she is unsurprised to see Lucia standing next to Alexia, just behind a kneeling Mei.

“Thank you.” Jane says, not closing the door behind her. “I’ve got it from here. Why don’t the two of you start telling the girls about the new assignments?”

“Mistress.” Alexia says, after glancing at Lucia. “We would like to stay.”

“I’m sure you would.” Jane says firmly. “But I am going to speak to Mei alone, and you are going to do what I’ve asked.”

“Yes, Mistress.” Alexia nods, following Lucia out the door after another moment of hesitation.

After closing the door behind them, Jane turns to Mei.

“When you first joined us, I had high hopes for you.” Jane says. “I thought you would eventually be one of my lead girls, probably taking over the kitchen completely, and freeing Lucia up to do something else. Now she is pregnant, and I really need someone who will be able to step up and take on those duties in the coming months… And you are simply too unreliable to be that woman.”

“I’m so sorry, Domina.” Mei says quietly. Her voice is almost emotionless, her features a mask as she stares at the floor in front of her.

Ignoring the apology, Jane continues. “I really, really wanted to hurt you when I found out what you did. In that moment, I wanted nothing more than to get my crop, and beat your ass until you couldn’t sit for weeks. I don’t know if I could have stopped myself if Robert wasn’t in the picture. But he is, and he cares about you, so I didn’t allow myself to touch you.”

Mei flinches at the words, before relaxing slightly as Jane continues.

“I trusted you, and you betrayed me. I don’t usually give second chances when that happens.” Jane says. “The other girls tell me you’ve done everything that’s been asked of you. They have no complaints at all, so far. I, however, have noticed a problem.”

Jane pauses, waiting a full minute, until Mei looks up at her expectantly.

“Robert is avoiding you.” Jane explains. “That clearly is hurting you, which should make me happy. He’s choosing me over you, which does make me happy. Has he pulled you into his office once since this began?”

“No, Domina.” Mei says quietly, the barest hint of emotion entering her voice.

“And that’s where the problem lies.” Jane says, to Mei’s surprise. “No one was in his office this morning. Or the morning before. He’s been burying himself in work, and turning them away. Why do you think he is doing that?”

“Because of me.” Mei says mournfully.

Jane listens, inspecting the words and her tone for any hint of satisfaction or happiness. When she decides that none were present, she continues. “Because of you. Because when he thinks of someone under his desk, he thinks of you. And that makes him sad. And then he starts worrying about you, wondering how you are doing. Wondering if you are pissed at him for not taking your side. Wondering if you still care about him as much as he still cares about you. Then he really starts overthinking things, and it all spirals. If this continues, I’m going to have to tell the other girls to stop going into his office.”

Jane sees Mei’s eyes begin to water as she absorbs this information.

“I can’t let this continue.” Jane says. “When I started all of this, it was to make him happy, and now it’s doing the opposite.”

“Are you sending me away, Domina?” Mei asks, voice and lip quivering as she tries to control herself.

“No.” Jane says. “That wouldn’t solve anything. This is the last time I’m going to ask you this question. Do you actually want to be our sub? Before you answer, keep two things in mind. The first is that you can remain here and not be our sub. Many of the other girls aren’t into BDSM. The second is that if you say yes, you are consenting to me punishing and rewarding you like a sub. I’m not as angry with you as I was, and I no longer wish to hurt you. That means I now trust myself to redden that ass of yours, and not lose control of myself while doing so.”

“Domina.” Mei begins, pausing for a moment before looking up at Jane. “I’ll take the punishment; I want to be your sub. I want to be more than just that. I want to fix things with you. I really am very, very sorry.”

“Good.” Jane says more softly, closing the distance between them, and pulling Mei’s head against her affectionately. “I want that too.”

*****

“Are you ready to proceed?” Jane asks, her gaze fixed on Mei, who is tied to the bed, ass up, face down. The red heart shaped gem on the end of a plug glimmers from between her cheeks, which quiver slightly, betraying her nervousness about what comes next. Jane notes the line of moisture running down Mei’s thighs with satisfaction, revealing that her nervousness is not all based in fear.

“Yes… Domina.” Mei says, the quaking of her voice matching the vibration of the rest of her body.

“Do you remember your instructions?” Alexia asks, from her position just behind Jane, who is flexing her crop in anticipation.

“I will count the strikes.” Mei says. “If I do not, I will be punished further. I will not yell or scream or curse.”

“Excellent.” Jane says, laying the crop gently on Mei’s cheeks. “Alexia, remove the plug.”

Alexia steps forward, wiggling the plug free, before setting it to the side. When she is clear, Jane pulls her arm back, before bringing it forward with a surprising amount of force.

“Ugh!” Mei grunts, both in surprise and in pain. After a moment, she remembers her duty. “One, Domina. Thank you.”

When Jane is satisfied that Mei’s ass is sufficiently red, but not yet purple, she steps forward, letting her fingers dangle to lightly stroke the now very warm surface of Mei’s cheeks. Mei flinches, but manages not to pull away. Moving around the bound form of her newly chastised submissive, she tilts Mei’s chin up to look at her. Finding she has to bend slightly to make eye contact, she observes the tear tracks going down her cheeks.

“You did well.” Jane says with a smile.

“Thank you, Domina.” Mei squeaks, as she feels Alexia begin to rub lotion onto her ass. “And I am sorry.”

“I know you are.” Jane says, reaching down to cradle her cheek, before wiping away the tear track on it. “And you are welcome. I quite enjoyed it. I can’t remember the last time I got to use it.”

“I do.” Alexia says, wincing as she remembers the punishment she took the day before Mei joined the house.

“That was the last time?” Jane asks incredulously. “It seems I’ve taught you to behave too well. Remind me to try to find a pain slut next time we are adding someone to the house.”

“I will, Mistress.” Alexia agrees, stepping back from Mei’s ass, and wiping her lotion covered hands together to get the excess off.

“Mei, would you like a moment to compose yourself before I bring in Robert?” Jane asks. “There will be no tears when he is here.”

Mei wipes her face on the bed covers, before looking up at Jane again. “I’m ok, Domina.”

Jane reaches down, turning her face to make sure no evidence of the tears remained. “Alexia, go get him.”

*****

“Master, we are ready for you.” Alexia whispers in his ear as he sits on the couch, watching a nature program with Lucia in his arms.

Robert nods, leaning down to kiss Lucia’s brow. “I love you, my sweet girl. Have a great night.”

“Enjoy your surprise.” Lucia says, not knowing much about it, except that it involves Mei. “I’m headed to bed.”

Robert follows Alexia, entering the bedroom to find Jane near the foot of the bed. When Alexia closes the door behind them, Jane steps aside. “Surprise!”

Robert winces in spite of himself at the mottled collection of red marks he sees on the small ass on his bed. Moving around Jane, he kneels next to the bed, certain for the first time that it is Mei on the bed. The smile on her face reassures him, but still he reaches out, touching her face gently. “Are you ok?”

“I’m great, Master.” Mei says, still smiling broadly. “My Domina has already done the spanking, will you fuck my ass now?”

Robert glances over at Jane, who smiles. “I never intended to keep you from her entirely. You both need this. Just remember, don’t do anything that could get her pregnant.”

Robert nods, before looking back at Mei. Seeing her nod, he stands, walking around the bed. Reaching forward, he lightly touches her pussy, pulling his hand back to see it is absolutely coated in her wetness.

“She’s ready for you.” Jane says. “But… You could make her wait for a few more minutes.”

Raising his eyes, Robert turns to look at his wife. “I could.”

Nodding to Alexia, Jane lifts her arms, allowing Alexia to begin stripping her. When she finishes, she climbs on the bed next to Mei. Alexia kneels behind her, lapping at her Mistress’ pussy for a moment, before knee-walking over to Robert. Undoing his pants, she leans in, taking his already hard dick into her mouth.

“Mmm…” Robert groans, enjoying the feeling of her warm, wet mouth.

“Master…” Mei whines.

“Quiet.” Jane says, shuffling slightly closer. Reaching over, she pulls Mei’s face towards hers, kissing her deeply.

“Fuck.” Robert whispers, pulling himself free of Alexia. Taking a few steps to close the gap between himself and Jane, he plunges inside of her in one thrust, causing her to gasp into Mei’s mouth. As he thrusts, he feels hair brush his thighs, as Alexia sneaks between his legs to attempt to join him in pleasuring Jane.

Jane grunts, closing her eyes and pushing back against Robert. A few minutes later, she tenses, moaning loudly, and then slumping forward. As she slides off his dick, Robert steps back, careful not to trip over Alexia, who is moving forward to join Jane on the bed.

Moving over to Mei, he reaches out, touching her red ass for the first time, pulling it down a bit, before slapping his dick against her crack.

“Are you ready now?” He asks.

“Please!” Mei says. “Fuck my ass!”

Robert positions himself, rubbing his head against her tight hole, before grabbing her hips, pushing forward. After a few failed attempts, he manages to gain entry, stopping when he is about halfway in. Giving her a moment to adjust, he begins moving again, pulling out a bit before inching forward, slowly going further and further, until he is balls deep.

“Master.” Mei moans, wiggling her ass against him, enjoying the mix of pain and pleasure it brings her.

Robert enjoys this for a moment, before pulling back to begin pounding her in earnest. Jane has flipped over on the bed, caressing Alexia as she watches Robert pound Mei’s tight ass. Reaching into the pile of pillows at the top of the bed, she pulls out a toy she stashed there, turning it on before reaching down to apply it to Alexia.

Robert is so absorbed in Mei’s ass that he doesn’t even notice this, until he hears Alexia begin moaning, and then thrashing on the bed, as she reaches orgasm.

“Domina!” Mei exclaims. “May I cum?”

Turning away from Alexia to look at Mei, she thinks for a moment. Smiling, she scoots closer, still holding the toy. Reaching under Mei, she applies the still buzzing toy, rubbing it around, but not letting it make consistent contact with her clit.

“Please!” Mei begs. “Please, Domina!”

Grinning diabolically, Jane stops the toy, pushing it against the younger woman’s clit as hard as she can.

“Domina!” Mei moans. “Please!”

“Jane, stop torturing the poor girl.” Robert says quietly.

“When Robert cums, you can cum.” Jane tells her. “Not before.”

“Please, Master!” Mei begs. “Cum for me. Fill my ass with your cum.”

Jane keeps the toy in place, even as Mei pulls unsuccessfully at her bonds in an attempt to escape it. Mei groans, pushing her head into the covers as she attempts to stop her impending orgasm.

“Fuck!” Robert roars, gripping Mei’s hips more tightly than he means to as he pulls her back against him, finally filling her with his cum.

“Ugh!” Mei groans into the covers, making a sound Jane finds vaguely amusing, as she finally climaxes.

When Robert regains control of himself, he gingerly pushes himself off Mei’s ass, which is now redder than ever. Sliding out of her, he reaches down, undoing the knots connecting her feet to her legs, before moving up to free the rest of her. Glancing over at Jane, he jerks his chin towards the bound girl. Jane reluctantly begins untying the wrist nearest to her.

“You don’t want to leave her tied up a bit longer?” Jane asks hopefully. “She’s quite ornamental. Festive even, with the red ass. Maybe I should do this again at Christmas, and hang her from the tree?”

“There is no way a Christmas tree would support anyone’s weight.” Robert says, his tone making his lack of amusement clear. “Not even Mei.”

“Oh, fine.” Jane says. “Take away all of my fun.”

“You could wrap her up and put her under the tree.” Alexia suggests, cuddling closer to Jane. “You could leave her ass sticking out, and use green paper.”

“Why the hell are we talking about Christmas?” Robert asks as he gets the final knot loose, freeing Mei. She falls flat on the bed, clearly exhausted. “It’s April.”

“There is nothing wrong with thinking ahead.” Jane insists.

Sitting next to Mei on the bed, Robert pulls her head onto his lap. “You doing ok?” He asks quietly, gently stroking her face.

Mei nods, reaching up to hold his hand to her face. Opening her eyes, she smiles wearily at him. “I missed you.”
