Secrets in plain sight

Ashley and Anna hurried off to the school building and didn’t slow down until the grunting and catcalls from the football team were out of earshot. Once they passed out of sight between two equipment sheds, Anna suddenly stopped in her tracks. Ashley didn’t want to tug her again, not after what the woman had been through. She tried a gentler touch this time.

“Anna… cut it out, we need to get back before Miss Stonebridge starts wondering where we are.”

“I can't take this anymore, Ashley.” A distraught Anna blurted out.

“You took your punishment, Anna. It’s over now. Miss Stonebridge will be proud. I’ll even say you did it without a fight.” Ashley tried to lift her spirit.

“It’s not just her. When I get home… I think Master Harvey has had it with me.”

“It’s ok, girl. It’s really not that bad. What you did wasn't that bad. Miss Stonebridge will send a report home detailing your punishment and he’ll be satisfied.”

Anna glowered at Ashley. “It’s not the first time.”

Ashley recoiled. “You try to defy your master often?”

Anna nodded demurely.

“Why? I thought you liked the attention of men.”

Anna grimaced. “Dios mío eres una puta estúpida.” She muttered. “Those were friends, Ashley. I liked them. Not these idiots.”

“And you don’t like master Harvey?”

“He tricked me! What do you think? I didn’t choose this life like you!” Anna said, growing angrier at Ashley's seeming inability to understand her predicament.

“Neither did - any of the others!” Ashley huffed. Anna knew she was a voluntary ****, but she didn’t have to know how Ashley had put herself in that position.

“I don’t know what he's going to do this time.”

“You could ask Miss Stonebridge how to make it up to him if you’re worried that he’s displeased. I’m sure she knows what to do. You’ll be alright, I promise.”

“I could be, I have people.” Anna sniffed as she let her guard down and let her feelings pour out.

“See, you have us.”

“No, I have family.”

“I have family too…”

“Real family.” The implications of Anna’s words dug in deep. _Anna’s family would help… Mine… _Ashley pushed the image of her mom cleaning out her old room and practically shoving her and Theo into bed together. Anna saw the sudden look on Ashley’s face and kept going, thinking she was making progress. “If I could only-”

Only what? Ashley thought, predicting where Anna was going with it but too afraid to ask. I can’t listen to this.

Anna looked at Ashley with pleading eyes. “I wouldn’t need long. Just enough to-”

Ashley moved up to Anna in the blink of an eye and put her hand firmly over Anna's mouth to shut her up. Shut up shut up shut up!

“Are you crazy!" She hissed. “You can’t say things like that.” Ashley imagined the ridicule Theodore would be put through if evidence surfaced that his **** knew about the escape of another and dreaded what type of punishment she would have to endure for it. Ashley looked over her shoulder to reaffirm that nobody else was there. “I’m going to remove my hand. Please don’t tell me anything more.”

“Can’t you help me?” Anna asked as soon as her muffle was removed.

“Shhhh! You want to get me in trouble with my master too?”

“Your master loves you, only a fool can’t see that. You won’t be in any trouble with him. Not really. Not like I am with Harvey.”

“You think- What do you expect that I can do, huh? I’m a **** just like you.” Ashley whispered.

“I just need an opening. A quick distraction, just shake that ass of yours or something, anything.”

“Do you even get what you’re asking me to do?!”

“Please Ashley!”

“I can’t!” Ashley shook her head furiously as she backed away.

Anna’s expression darkened. Like a scared animal backed into a corner, she struck out. “I need to get out of here, and I need your help. I…I’ll tell them you’ve been sharing.”

You backstabbing whore. “Sharing what?” Ashley asked, trying to sound as if she didn’t already know what Anna was referring to.

“Your food. I know you’re not allowed to. If you don’t help me I will tell them.”

“What makes you think my master would care if I shared it?” Ashley put on a casual air, hoping it would throw Anna off the scent.

“The taste.” Anna said triumphantly, finding her angle at last. “It’s your master’s cum, the full portion of it was obviously meant for you.”

Theo will find out I have been eating his cum for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Let alone what his mom would do.

Seeing her advantage, Anna pressed even harder. “Maybe I’ll even say you did it because you hate the taste.”

Ashley yanked the leash in her hand so hard it sent the defenseless latina sprawling forward, stopping only when Ashley’s hand shot forth to grip her throat. “You wouldn’t.” she growled through gritted teeth, letting Anna see a side to her that she hadn’t shown before, nor one Ashley even knew she had in her. The veins of her forearms bulged as she squeezed down hard at her neck.

“So I was right.” Anna said as she fought to breathe.

Fuck.

She had played too fast and lost. Ashley let go of Anna who gasped for breath. Ashley quickly scanned the woman’s neck for bruises and saw that there were none. At least I don’t add that to my problems. Ashley sighed. She was defeated before their bout had even begun. What choice did she have? If she told Theo about Anna, then Anna would spill about the food and who knows how Theo might react to that? If Anna got caught, then of course they’d want to know if Ashley had a warning. It had to be done and it had to succeed, while also keeping Ashley out of the limelight.

“What do you want from me?”

Despite their size difference and the leash in Ashley’s hand, it was obvious who controlled the relationship now. Anna stood taller, more confident than she’d looked in the time that Ashley had known her. She rubbed her neck and considered her next move. As if to test this new dynamic, Anna slapped Ashley full across the face. When Ashley didn’t respond in kind, Anna knew she had her.

“First you’re going to play nice, no more dragging me around like a perro.”

“Fine.”

“As for the rest… Be ready. I will give you a signal when it's time. Make it big, give me as much of a head start as you can. We’re in this together now, if I don’t get away it will be your ass on the line as well.”

Why do these things always happen to me?

“I thought we were already in this together, Anna. Like sisters.” Ashley made one last attempt to appeal to their forged bond, but Anna was no longer having it.

“I want out of this family. Now move that gringa ass back to class and make sure to volunteer to take the blame for being late.”

With the threat of having to take the fall hanging over her, Ashley barely managed to find the courage to open the door to the classroom once they returned. Its handle felt heavy in her hands from the weight of uncertainty as she pulled it ajar. Danielle’s bubbly giggling came streaming out into the corridor through the crack. Her playful laughter told Ashley that they must have missed something undoubtedly sexual, it was the only thing that could get their little bimbo friend fired up like that. Convinced that she and Anna at least weren’t about to interrupt in the middle of an ongoing reprimand, she drew the door all the way open and moved inside as quietly as her stiletto pumps would allow, hoping not to interrupt Ms. Stonebridge’s lecture and draw unnecessary attention to their return.

Ashley’s hopes faltered immediately after the door closed behind them. “Anna, Ashley! I have been hired to teach you girls how to be pleasing as slaves! I didn’t think I’d have to also teach you how to tell time!”

“Sorry professora.” Anna answered before Ashley could utter a word of explanation and cast her a side eye glare that said all that it needed. The cruel twist of fate that saw Ashley under the thumb of another **** reared its ugly head in plaguing her existence. She saw no other choice than to go along with Anna’s instructions to not risk her secret coming out.

“We went straight back after the coach was done with Anna, miss.” Ashley tried to reassure Anita who didn’t look convinced. “Just we- I, took a short detour, miss.”

“And your reasoning behind that being?”

Because someone here doesn't want to play ball anymore. But I can’t tell her that. I can’t say we met Theo, he’s in class. We wanted to avoid Principal Brown and his exploring hands? No, she will bring that up with him. If he wasn’t wandering around she would know we lied and that would mean real trouble.

“Rebecca, miss. An old classmate.” Ashley said. She had to think of something fast that couldn’t be so easily disputed. Anna dug her nails into Ashley’s leg where Stonebridge couldn’t see. She thinks it's not enough. “I… didn’t want her to see me as a ****!” Anna let go, apparently satisfied.

Anita, however, was decidedly not satisfied. “I hope you aren’t telling me that you are ashamed of being your master’s ****, Ashley.”

“Of course not, miss!”

“That’s good, because tonight you are going to prepare a ten minute presentation on why you love being Master Theodore’s ****, to be handed in to me in the morning and then presented to your old classmates at a time I can arrange.”

Ashley gulped.

Anita turned her attention to Anna. “As for you, Anna. I trust your lesson has sunk in.”

Not in, but down.

“Si, miss.” Anna said demurely, putting on the innocent face of the uncertain immigrant worker which Ashley now knew to be a mask of lies and deceit, and she felt foolish for ever believing it. What could the others be hiding?

“I have been asked that your home duties be prioritized above school tasks. While I tried to argue for the importance of following the curriculum, in the end I must adhere to a master’s wishes. The rest of you take what we just went through and practice on it at home, that’s your homework for today.”

“Yay! Daddy can’t say no if it’s homework, can he?” Danielle looked around for reassurance.

Ashley could only guess what they had missed. She wasn’t sure if she was glad that she didn’t receive the same homework as the other girls, or saddened that she wouldn’t be able to make Theodore happy by showing him the value of his tuition money. Ashley didn’t even think of it as her money any more.

There was a knock on the door, then it opened without respectfully waiting for the courtesy of a response. “Knock knock in the slut factory.” Principal Brown chuckled as he entered, swinging the five leashes for the girls in his hand.

Ugh. Ashley’s eyes rolled out of annoyance. His recent behavior that showcased his true colors made it all the harder to hold back against the disgust she felt about him. If it wasn’t for the fact that it would come back on Theodore, she would call him out for the creep he was. Or at least she fantasized about doing it even if she wouldn’t actually do it. She knew she couldn’t, she was a **** now and it wasn’t her place to complain. Least of all about her success in enticing men, which was her purpose in life. He doesn't need to do this part every day himself, he could hire someone else to do it. Given the look on his face, it was obviously his favorite duty, so that was a dead hope.

“Ladies, you know the drill by now, line up.” Anita ordered.

Their principal ceremoniously clipped the leash onto each of the girl’s collar, except for Tatiana’s which magnetically locked itself in place when it got near. His eyes glittered with excitement when the added symbol of their status was placed upon each of the girls. Ashley’s brief foray as a domme, lording over Anna already felt like it was a million years in the past as she was led off once again by this pervert.
