A planning period

Isabella

I was glad to be alone for a while, all the family stuff is draining at some point. But it was still worth it, I wanted to see them again. My phone buzzed. Could it be master? No, just Amber. Wait, Amber? Why was she calling me? Hesitantly, I picked up.

"Hey, sorry for the call, but can we talk? Are you alone?"

"Sure Amber, what's going on? Is master alright?"

"Holding up well, I think. I wanted to chat because of him. When will you be back? Because I have planned a little surprise for his birthday, but I don't want to ruin any of your plans."

"Well, now you make me feel bad... I hadn't planned anything, I'm not sure when I'll return next Thursday."

"I'm keeping master occupied after 5PM."

"Oh... I had hoped to..."

"Sorry, I just couldn't get it to work any other way."

"It's okay then, Amber. What have you planned?"

"Master hasn't found a new girl for quite some time, so I contacted an old friend of mine..."

"Amber, would you really sell her out like that?"

"I bet she'll enjoy it, don't worry."

"I hope so. You know master, if she's not into it, he won't do anything with her. I wouldn't want you to face his disappointment in you, I know how it is..."

"Thanks for looking out for me, Isabella. Speaking of which, I'm trying to work on that..."

"Oh, any ideas? I hope we can make him feel more comfortable going for us again. I feel like recently he hasn't thought much about me..."

"I feel the same way... I made a first step, though it was largely in self-interest. I had a threesome with master and Klara."

"What's that?"

"You don't know?"

"Amber, I... had been in a very traditional relationship before, you know?"

"Sorry, I forgot. And that's nothing to be ashamed of either, Isabella. We'll all teach you. A threesome is sex with three people."

"Oh, seems silly for me to ask that. The name makes a lot of sense."

"And then people also talk about a foursome, fivesome, and so on."

"I think I get what you mean by that. I only really know a bit about one on one stuff, you know? Regular sex, blowjobs. That's pretty much it."

"I'm sure when more women live with you, master will let his women teach you."

"I'd be happy to learn to please master better. Anyway, what were you trying to do with the threesome?"

"I think master had less contact with me because he was afraid to disturb Klara's and my relationship. So Klara suggested a threesome and..."

"Klara? Has master gone after her?"

"No, Klara noticed my sadness. I think the fact that she suggested it really was what convinced master to go along with the idea."

"Well he is a gentle master, you can't be surprised. I don't know if I can be with him on his birthday, so please be sure to come up with something special. His day should be fun. The other women should be there for the most part, right? Laura is still with her family, but Donna..."

"Yeah and he has invited someone else to the house too. Huh? Hang on, he's calling me. I don't have anything else to talk about right now, give me a call later if you need to. Bye."

"Lucky Amber...", I told myself. Suddenly, the door creaked open. Pam entered. "Everything okay? Do you need my help in the kitchen again."

"Don't play dumb, I listened to your call, Izzy."

"Hrng.... Could you..." I bowed my head in shame "Keep quiet?"

"Izzy, I'm concerned for you. You told us James provides for you but instead you have a 'master'? If you need financial support, you can stay with us. And if you ever find a man again, we can keep Aunt Gilroy's home for you. We don't need the cash for it."

"Pam, I'm fine. I appreciate your help, but... A large reason as to why I'm so happy now is because he helped me get over everything with John... He makes me feel loved and appreciated in a way that I've been needing for years at this point. It's not about the money for me, I'm genuinely happy." Pam hugged me. I think this was the first time since she was a kid that she hugged me. Cousin Pam is about a decade younger than me and was always my favorite of our family to hang out with when we were younger. She recently left her long-term boyfriend Tommy after he spent too much time on social media and went off the political deep end.

"That's exactly why I worry about you, Izzy. You're sad, you're ****, and if you're shown a minimum of love you might fall for someone. I know I'm the closest family member to you, emotionally and distance-wise. It's just a thirty minute drive to your house in Trinton for me."

"Fifteen, James' place is right at the edge of the city where you'd enter Trinton, remember?"

"Right... Either way, if your 'master' whoever he is ever does any harm to you, get out. You seem like you joined a cult, Izzy. We'll have a video call every other day after this, okay? If you don't call me, I'm going to pick you up and we talk to a psychiatrist about this."

"Pam, please just trust me... I'm older and more experienced than you."

"Not with boyfriends, you just said so yourself."

"Ugh... Just trust me, okay? I know what I'm doing. You don't need to get involved."

"Hmph, we'll talk about this on our trip back, okay?"

"If you really need to, but I'd like to keep my sex life private."

She stormed off. I closed the door again and threw a blanket on the bottom slit of the door. Whatever helps. I called Amber back.

"Amber, I... might have fucked up."

"What happened?"

"My cousin was listening in on the phone call..."

"Shit, what does she know now?"

"Well, she didn't hear much more than I was calling him master. But not who he is."

"That's a good start. Anything else?"

"She wanted to have a video call every second day with me to check up on me in case master mistreats me. As if he'd ever do that... And she told me she'd threaten to get me out of there if she was concerned."

"Hmmm... I see two options. Either you manage to convince her to relax, or you make her master's."

"Knowing her... the second option seems necessary."

"No hesitation... You're wonderful, Isabella." Amber smirked.

"It's in master's best interest. What else matters?"

"You're right about that. I hope everything goes well with you two."

"I'm just worried about how master will react... I doubt she'd be willing."

"Yeah... That's a problem for future us to figure out."

"Seems so. Sorry for wasting your time, Amber. I'm sure master's call was more important."

"It's okay, this was important too. Bye."

"Bye."

Amber

Amber: "Sorry, where were we? Important call. You called me over to plan your harem and suggested..."

James: "Cutting off certain parts of the house. Currently, all of those who I own have to be nude in the house, but if everything besides the living room was cordoned off... Do you think you can build a wall here in the hallway, Em?"

Emily: "Let me see... Judging by how narrow the hallway is, all I really need is a doorframe, I think. This would leave the living room and a bathroom available for guests while your women are in their own quarters. However... hmmm..."

James: "What is it, Em?"

Emily: "See, I was thinking about the Laura's bedroom, that I currently use as a guest, kind of. If you want a guest bedroom, you could... The only place to build the door makes it so... well..." Emily pointed at the blueprint, deep in thought. "The guest room would be where you don't what it to be, near your women. However, I was thinking about this wall here" Em pointed at the backside of the living room. "I should be able to get a door in here. And once we build a wall into the other entrance of the room, you should even be able to have guests over without worry. The guest room would be connected to the living room only, while the cordoned off women's quarters could have their own rules."

James: "Sorry about the noises last time..."

Emily: "You weren't alone." Em glared at me.

Amber: "C-Could we be heard? Sorry."

Emily: "Yes, the doors aren't great at insulating sound. That's why the hallway door should be a modern one, to contain any sounds from entering the living room."

James: "Good idea... How much would that cost, if I may ask?"

Emily: "Well for a good friend like you I'll only charge 200 bucks."

James: "That's... way too cheap, Em." Master was right. Was that her trait kicking in?

Emily: "I have the door and door frame already, an intern did one recently as practice. That's the easiest part. And well the rest is just material costs. I should be able to recycle the current door, door frame, and a portion of the wall."

James: "Em, I can't rip you off like that. How about you give me a reasonable price and I pay you in the new year?"

Emily: "Sure, that'll be 500 bucks then, minimum. If there's a pipe or cables in the wall, the costs will go up."

James: "Fair enough." Emily went straight to the door.

Amber: "Wait, where are you going?"

Emily: "Getting some equipment and the door itself. I want to start tomorrow." With a confident smile she waved us goodbye and drove off.

"She's certainly eager, master."

"Seems so, although I think she's more so bored. I don't quite know what to do with her."

"Is fucking her silly not an option?"

"Not interested."

"Damn... You have restraint I can only dream of, master."

"Anyway, while she is away, there's something else I want your opinion on. See, she is going to stay here for the rest of the year, but she wants us to pretend to be a couple even more than normal. As in, not just words but also actions."

"And?"

"Well for one I'm not interested. I also fear her being a bit paranoid, you know?"

"Does she think she's being watched?"

"She said nothing of the sort but..." Seems like she's trying on her own to get master to like her to no avail. I want to push master into the right direction with her.

"Maybe she genuinely likes you now? I know a ton of people who could tell me how loving and caring you can be, master."

"That's not it... Yesterday we talked about how thankful she was for everything I did for her and how she wants to help me. She even made these. She paid for the engraving. Keys for Christine, Donna, herself, Laura, and then mom's key got the I. You can tell it isn't new."

"Still, that's pretty cool."

"Next time we copy keys for more women, give her your key, if you happen to catch wind. Let her ask for 'A+K' on the key or something. Just so we know every key's owner in the future, you know?"

"Awww that's a sweet idea to have our key have our initials."

"Speaking of Klara, any answer?"

"Still thinking. You're more eager than I thought, master."

"Just concerned for her well-being. I'm as disinterested in her as before your suggestion. She's yours."

"Thank you master, but never forget... you're always welcome over at our place. If you feel horny anytime soon and don't care about Emily, just come over. Fuck me alone or with Klara, as long as she has time I doubt she'd mind honestly. I have to use a strap-on with her now thanks to you, master. Uhm, unless you wanna use me, I'd leave now."

"I have to call someone. Have you checked the app yet?"

"No, why?"

"Met a new woman. She's from the company but she seems interested in my brother. I feel like I should let him know." Fuck, my plan might not work out as brilliantly as I had hoped. What was the novelty in a new woman after over two weeks if he just met this... Ophelia person. Smoking hot though, I like nerdy girls sometimes and IT girls always get freaky.

"Seems like a good idea. I guess you have women to spare. Just subjugate her and tell her to love your brother and you should be set."

"I'm surprised you didn't tell me to go after her."

"I don't know, seems a bit rude, right?"

"Amber, be honest." Fuck. I need to come up with a truth that lets me get away with not telling everything.

"I... don't wanna. It's a secret. Like the ones you kept from me. I'll tell you in a bit, okay?"

"Ugh, okay... I guess I was too hard on you with those, huh? Should have told you earlier."

Aaaaah, I feel so bad for master. Surprises suck, I have to come up with a believable excuse and strategy around his commands and the only reason why I can endure the pain of disobedience is because I know he'll enjoy the gift. "By the way master, about the interview... It'll be audio-recorded here. After that we can stay or go to Klara's and my place I don't mind."

"Thanks for letting me know, Amber. Love you." He grabbed my ass and kissed me! I love him so much... I wish we could go further but I had some plans too.
