"Yes, sir, that sounds nice," Leigh responds. Alex and Leigh look at their menus, and when Sabrina picks hers up, Leigh snatches it away. Sabrina sits quietly with her hands in her lap, idly fiddling with her jeans. Leigh asks Alex permission to get roast chicken, and she grants it. Soon the server arrives and asks for their orders.

"I'll have the steak," Alex says, "medium rare, with a side of squash."

"I'd like the roast chicken," Leigh says, "with mixed vegetables." Then she points to Sabrina. "And she'd like plain noodles."

Alex smiles. "And glasses house red for the two of us," she adds, pointing to herself and Leigh, "and water for her," pointing to Sabrina.

When the waiter walks away, Sabrina keeps her eyes down on the table, and Alex and Leigh strike up a nice conversation, pointedly ignoring the table's third occupant. Leigh tells her more about her long relationship with Chris, making sure not to leave out the details of Sabrina's disruptive role in that relationship.

In turn, Alex tells her a little about how she became a domme, from her early sexual relationships with men, to her exploration with women and dissatisfaction with how skittish and hesitant the latter could be. "Once I consciously decided to take control," she says, "things started getting way better."

"I still fuck men occasionally," Alex adds, "but it's mostly women now. Always with this power dynamic."

Leigh nods. "If things continue like they're going so far, I think submission will be a pretty major part of my future sexual relationships too."

"And will you be giving up men?"

"No sir," Leigh says, then with an impish smile: "not if you don't want me to."

Alex laughs. "Good girl."

Their food arrives and they dig in, glancing occasionally at Sabrina as she picks at her bland meal. "Eat," Leigh commands eventually. "You'll need your strength if you're going to serve me all week."

"Yes mistress," Sabrina whispers with plenty of bitterness in her voice. Leigh reaches over and smacks her thigh, causing the girl to wince.

"Show me respect," Leigh growls. "That's why you're in this mess."

Alex makes no secret of her amusement but stays out of it, content to watch. As the meal winds down, she turns to Leigh and asks, "so, my pet, what do you want to do with your new servant?"

Leigh ponders. "Well, first of all, I think she has more apologizing to do, as well as an explanation. And then, we'll see."

Sabrina looks scared and confused as Leigh turns to her. Her new mistress tells her what she's going to say to her friends at the other table, and then, after Alex pays the bill, they all get up and walk over together.

Sabrina keeps her head down but, incredibly, does as she's told. It is amazing what power Alex seems to have over her. Leigh considers the possibility that she doesn't really want to know how that happened. Leigh decides Sabrina is taking too long to get started, and pulls on the girl's t-shirt to prod her. Sabrina clears her throat and gets the table's attention.

They all turn to look, their confusion from the earlier interaction renewed. "I wanted to apologize for being a cunt to you all," Sabrina starts. "I can be really mean sometimes, and super selfish. I promise I'll be better. For now, I'm in Leigh's service this week making up for the terrible way I've treated her." She leans over and places a slip of paper on the table. "Here is her number. If you think of ways I can serve you this week as penance, just text her and she'll try to make it happen."

Her script over, Sabrina retreats, and Leigh waves and smiles at the stunned table as they leave. Once outside, Alex takes Leigh's arm and says, "so, how would you like to inaugurate your servant, my little slut?"
