---------------

Reminiscing was something that Roquan rarely did. He tended to be
focused on the present and the future. Dwelling on the past, whether
for good or for ill, was a waste of precious time. Yet he could not
help but let himself be taken back to a point that, all things
considered, was surprising recent despite how much had happened since.

In Roquan's personal bath off from his bed chamber, Amanda sat quietly
near one edge of the pool that surrounded the hot spring. She was being
slowly and methodically bathed by Sirinna. Where it was as much
ceremony as it was hygiene, Sirinna took her time. She washed her
charge with slow, sensuous movements of her hands along Amanda's
glistening body.

As he watched, Roquan remembered Amanda's first time in this spring. It
had been Roquan himself bathing her in preparation for her deflowering.
All new slaves that were virgins upon arriving in Narlass underwent a
deflowering. Many Overlords handled this sometimes delicate act
themselves, and Roquan had been no exception.

He remembered the incredible variety of emotions that Amanda had
experienced: anxiety, fear, defiance, sensuality, desire. They had both
surprised each other that day. Amanda's biggest surprise had been how
much she had enjoyed the act of intercourse itself. Roquan's biggest
surprise had been how much he had been taken with the girl, though he
had refused to admit it at the time.

Now Amanda say placidly in the pool, quiet and still, save for the
movements she made while Sirinna tended to her. Roquan sensed some
resignation in Amanda. On the one hand, this was a good thing. He could
not have her being defiant now, just before being given to Duric. On
the other hand, it was as if something were missing.

On the thought of Duric, Roquan straightened up and folded his arms.
"When you have finished with her, Sirinna, take her to my bed chamber
and wait for me."

"Yes, Master, of course," Sirinna said with a wan smile.

Roquan could tell just from the tone of her voice that Sirinna was
going to miss Amanda terribly. He would deal with it as best he could.
He would no longer berate Sirinna for her feelings. There was no point,
as no punishment in Narlass would stop her from feeling.

Roquan headed out of the room, through his bed chamber, and through the
curtained doorway that led into his outer chamber. He already had the
Farviewing pearl sitting on the hearth of the fireplace, as he had been
about to activate it when he had felt he needed to check on Amanda.

The Overlord stepped forward and waved a hand over the pearl. It began
to glow as he stepped back.

It was not long before the image of a smiling Duric shimmered into
view.

"Good day to you, Lord K'garon," said Roquan formally.

"Good day to you, Overlord!" replied Duric with a wide smile. "I trust
you are nearly ready to send me the young Amanda?"

"I am. However, I have what you may consider an unusual request to make
on her behalf ..."



Sirinna lifted her hands to Amanda's breasts, her fingers cupping
supple flesh that was still shiny and slippery with soap.

"You did that part of me already, Mistress," Amanda said in a somewhat
detached voice.

"Yes, I know I have," Sirinna said quietly with a tiny smile on her
lips. Her fingers curled around Amanda's orbs, squeezing them lightly.

Amanda glanced down, then into Sirinna's eyes as the touch grew more
sensual. "Mistress ..."

"Shh."

Sirinna placed the pads of her thumbs against Amanda's nipples,
flicking at them gently until they began to rise. As they swelled, she
rubbed her thumbs against them more firmly in slow, circular strokes.

Amanda let her breath go as an excited sigh despite herself. She
squirmed a bit as Sirinna's touch aroused her, unsure of her feelings
at the moment. She knew that a short sexual tryst was often part of a
slave bathing ritual, but she was not sure it was at all appropriate
now in her current state of mind.

If it had been anyone else but Sirinna, Amanda might not have
responded. Instead, she felt a quiver pass through her as her body
succumbed of its own accord.

"M-mistress, I'm not sure this is a good idea," Amanda said in a husky
whisper.

"I need to do this, Amanda," Sirinna said, her voice falling to a
whisper. "Don't talk for now. It will make more sense to you in a short
while."

Amanda felt the urge to defy Sirinna and insist on an explanation, but
it passed quickly. She finally just nodded and tried to let herself
enjoy it in mind as well as body.

Amanda moaned softly as Sirinna's fingers swirled faster around her
nipples, sending ripples of pleasure through her. It sparked a tingle
deep in her sex, as if she were being touched there.

When Sirinna had made her first sexual advance on Amanda back on Earth,
Amanda had discovered that her nipples were more sensitive than she had
thought. Now they seemed even more so ever since the Conclave had
ended. Overlord Freya had used an exorbitant amount of a salve that
rendered her nipples hypersensitive during the short time that Freya
had owned her. She sometimes wondered if there had been a lingering
effect. Vanlo had told her it was entirely possible.

One of Sirinna's hands left her breast and slid down her side and
across her belly. She panted lightly in anticipation. Sirinna's hand
disappeared into the soapy water and slipped between Amanda's legs.
Amanda closed her eyes and shivered in pleasure as Sirinna's fingers
pressed lightly into her slit.

"I apologize I can't make you cum right now," Sirinna whispered as her
fingers very slowly massaged Amanda's swollen nub. "I just need your
pussy a little wet."

"Uhhn ... a l-little?" Amanda panted, her eyes half-lidded.

Sirinna smiled. She rubbed Amanda a few more times and then withdrew
her hand, to Amanda's disappointment. "There. We have to do this
quickly now, in case Master Roquan returns."

Amanda finally understood and felt a little foolish for not thinking of
it herself.

Sirinna waded off to the side where she had left the items she needed
for Amanda's bath. She carefully reached into the folds of a towel and
extracted the Farviewing pearl. "Here, spread your knees a little more,
it will make it easier," she said as she returned to Amanda's side.

Amanda nodded quickly and let her knees slide further apart against the
bottom of the spring. "Will this make it a little less uncomfortable,
Mistress?"

"Well, it will go in a little more easily. I think that's where you
were having the most problems when we tried it earlier. Your natural
lubrication when you're not aroused was not enough." Sirinna balanced
the pearl on her fingers and pressed it lightly against the entrance to
Amanda's tunnel. "Ready?"

Amanda took a deep breath and nodded.

Sirinna pushed the pearl carefully into Amanda's vagina. It did go in
more easily this time, though it still felt very tight inside her.
Sirinna poked the pearl inside about as far as her second knuckle. She
then held her hand under Amanda's pussy.

Amanda took another breath and applied what Sirinna had taught her. Her
first attempt did not seem to work. When she tried to apply her muscles
to gently squeeze the pearl out of her, her nervousness made them spasm
instead. As slick as her tunnel was, the pearl slipped further inside
her.

Sirinna saw the look of panic on Amanda's face and guessed what had
happened. She placed a hand on Amanda's shoulder and squeezed gently.
"Just relax, Amanda. You're too tense. Just a gentle push is all you
need."

"I-I'm trying. But I think I did something wrong ..."

"No, it's okay. Take a few deep breaths, calm down, and try to nudge it
back out."

Amanda swallowed and nodded. She did as she was told, managing to take
the edge off her anxiety. She tried again. This time she felt her
muscles flex more smoothly, and slowly she nudged the pearl back until
it popped out and into Sirinna's hand. Amanda breathed a sigh of
relief.

Sirinna smiled. "Very good. Think you got it?"

"Got it," Amanda answered. Sirinna carefully reinserted the pearl. When
she was done, Amanda looked up, smiled, and gave her a hug. "Thank you
so much for doing this for me, I couldn't repay you enough for this."

"I get a reward out of this myself, love," Sirinna whispered into
Amanda's ear. "I won't miss you so badly now."

Amanda drew back from the embrace. She could feel the pearl inside her,
pressing against the walls of her tunnel. It was still a little
uncomfortable, but at least now she did not feel sore like she had
earlier after trying this when she was not aroused.

"We're finished with your bath now, if you want to try standing up."

Amanda slowly rose to her feet. She felt the pearl become squeezed a
little more tightly inside her with her legs closed, but it did not
slip. She wondered how long she would have to hold it inside her. Lack
of time dictated that she could not hold it inside her for more than
short periods while she learned the technique.

"I think it will be okay, Mistress," said Amanda.

"Good. Now, step out of the spring and lets get you dried off and your
hair brushed out."

Amanda climbed out of the water and looked back at the spring. Sirinna
draped the towel around her shoulders and began to pat her dry. "I'm
going to miss this place, Sirinna," she said in a very soft voice. "I
don't mean just you."

Sirinna smiled. "This has been your home, Amanda. Master Roquan cared
for you here. It's natural you'd feel that way."

Amanda said nothing in response. That was only part of the answer.
There was something more, but she had trouble finding the words for it.
But she could not let herself dwell on it. If she did, she was sure she
would lose her composure.

No matter what her feelings were, she was determined to get this right.
She didn't care what Lanno had said about her. Perhaps she was
ultimately just playing at the part. But if that were the case, then
she intended to be the best damn actress she could be.

She would at least make others believe she was a good slave, even if
she could not believe it herself.



"Indeed, Roquan!" said Duric with a trace of amusement in his otherwise
surprised tone of voice. "That is a most unusual request to make for a
slave."

"Realize that it is not unusual for a slave to be educated in
particular subjects," Roquan countered calmly. "I have a few slaves
that are able to engage in fairly intelligent conversation."

"Not many, I would bet."

"No, not many. But a few. Some clients specifically request such a
thing."

Duric gave the Overlord a sly smile. "Hmm. I do not seem to recall
asking for such a thing myself."

"No, indeed, you did not," replied Roquan, keeping his gaze and voice
even. "But you did request Amanda specifically. Thus she comes with
everything that makes her Amanda. Unless you believe my skills at slave
training so great that I can turn her intelligence off."

Duric paused for a long moment, then burst out laughing. "Oh, don't
tell me that I finally managed to break the ice with you after all this
time, Roquan? I do believe you came close to cracking a joke."

Roquan gave Duric a polite smile. "Call it as you will. In any case,
you have heard my request. You are within your rights to turn it down."

"But you would prefer I didn't, correct?"

Now it was Roquan's turn to pause. He was unsure as to the best way to
answer that question, mostly because he did not know what his own
feelings were on the matter. He temporized a bit. "I do know that it is
important to her."

Duric raised an eyebrow. "Oh? And you are so concerned about what a
slave desires?"

"I am concerned with the happiness of my slaves, Duric. Any good
Overlord is. A slave that is unhappy does not serve her Master well. A
slave that is happy does. I am given to understand that allowing her to
continue reading her scrolls would make her happy. That would make her
all the more eager to serve you."

Duric appeared to consider this. "You know, I have heard some
fascinating things about Amanda, Roquan."

Roquan was not surprised to hear this, considering how adamant Duric
had been about wanting Amanda. "I will admit that she is a remarkable
girl."

"That is an understatement. Unless what I heard about her having a hand
in saving an Overlord's life was an exaggeration?"

Roquan could not tell whether Duric knew the whole story or not. He was
surprised that Duric had heard even that much. Perhaps he could use
this to his advantage. "That story is true. She helped intervene to
stop an assassination."

From Duric's reaction, it was quite clear that he had not heard this
part. "Assassination? You mean the Overlord in question was about to be
/murdered?/"

"By an agent of the Emperor, yes."

"Great gods! Why have you not told me this sooner?"

"Because it occurred during a Conclave. The Overlords are bound by
unspoken rules of ethics about revealing what goes on during a Conclave
to those outside of Overlord circles."

"I can understand that, Roquan, but something of this magnitude ...!"

"Really, Duric, do you need any more validation of our stand against
the Emperor? Would that have really mattered in light of what Z'haas
did to the conspirators against him? Does it matter in light of how he
is trampling upon the law and our traditions? I would remind you that
you came to me and offered to help. I had no need to convince you
further of the merits of an alliance."

Duric paused a moment and then sighed. "I suppose you are right on that
score. Very well. Amanda may be allowed to continue her studies, so
long as her service to me takes precedence."

"It will, in the same way her training took precedence at the Manor."

Duric slowly smiled. "Perhaps I will engage her in conversation now and
then. I would be curious to see what she is learning of our history. I
am assuming that she is also allowed to have her own opinions?"

Roquan felt that Amanda not having opinions would be like the Great
Ocean not having water. The two were inseparable. "She has been trained
to be judicious in the expression of such."

Duric laughed. "Not exactly something you would pitch to a client as a
selling point, now, would you? No matter. It has only made me all the
more curious about the girl. I eagerly await her." He reached into his
pocket and pulled out a blue pearl that was glowing very brightly, so
much so that it nearly washed out his own image in the Farview. "I see
you nearly have your Portal energized."

Roquan's eyes flicked to the Portal focus Duric held and nodded. "It is
of sufficient power now to be opened to your Palace. She is being
prepared now and will be ready shortly. I will send her through very
soon."

"Excellent, Roquan. If you have no further need for me at the moment
..."

Roquan shook his head.

"Then I bid you good day, Roquan."

"Good day, Lord K'garon."

Duric's image faded from sight. The glow in the Farviewing pearl died.



As Amanda emerged from the bathing room and into Roquan's bed chamber,
she realized the one good thing to come out of all this. She was now
finally rid of her collar.

Even though she had not finished her training, for all intents and
purposes she was a full-fledged slave. As such, she had the privilege
of no longer having to wear the collar, or be escorted everywhere with
her hands bound behind her.

She thought it strange that she felt a degree of freedom in a situation
where she was simply being given to another Master. Even the
arrangement itself seemed odd to her despite the fact that it was how
slavery operated in Oceanus. Slaves were owned only by Overlords, even
when given to a client. In effect, the client "rented" a slave's
services, paying up front for a contract of a given length.

This time the "payment" had not been in platinum, but the theory was
the same.

Sirinna came up from behind Amanda and ran her fingers through Amanda's
long hair to remove any remaining tangles. Her dark hair was lustrous
in the subdued light of the chamber. "Your hair is so much longer than
it was when you started, Amanda," Sirinna said with some admiration in
her voice.

"No one ever told me I should cut it," Amanda said softly. "I figured
that sort of decision was out of my hands anyway."

"Indeed it is, Amanda."

Both Amanda and Sirinna turned at the sound of Roquan's voice from the
doorway.

"It was my decision to let your hair grow," said the Overlord as he
stepped up to Amanda. He placed a hand gently on her head and let it
slide behind her and over her hair. "I prefer longer hair in my slaves,
and yours is quite lovely."

"Thank you, Master," said Amanda dutifully, though she did appreciate
the compliment. And she did like it herself. "Does Lord K'garon enjoy
long hair as well?"

At first Roquan thought to chide her for speaking out of turn when he
remembered that the rule was for Trainees only, and Amanda could not be
considered such any longer. Amanda knew this as well, and it was one of
the reasons why she had asked. She wanted to see if the Overlord would
call her out on it.

Roquan saw it as one last act of subtle defiance. He hoped it would be
the last.

"Yes, he does, which is one of the reasons he enjoys Tanyee so much.
And you will refer to him as 'Master Duric.' That is the proper title
by which a slave should address him."

"Yes, Master, I'm sorry for forgetting." Amanda was sincere in her
apology. It had resulted from nervousness rather than negligence. A bit
of further scroll reading had allowed her to figure out why the odd mix
of titles. In this case, "Master" was the sign of respect to a
superior, while using the more familiar form of address of "Duric"
showed that the slave was intimately tied to her Master.

"It is time, now, Amanda. The Portal is energized sufficiently, and
Lord K'garon has his focusing pearl activated."

Sirinna smiled and eagerly stepped forward, placing her hands on
Amanda's shoulders.

Roquan raised his eyes to Sirinna. "If you wish, I could handle
escorting her."

"No, Master, that won't be necessary," said Sirinna. "It is my duty to
be the one to take her to her Master."

"I know how you feel about this, Sirinna. I am merely saying that I
relieve you of the obligation if you need it."

Sirinna gave Roquan a forlorn look. "I appreciate that, Master. But
this is something I feel I must do. I'm ... very proud of Amanda. I
want the honor of giving her to him myself."

Roquan could still see the carefully controlled emotion in Sirinna's
eyes. This was still going to be hard for her.

His gaze dropped to Amanda, who was looking at him with a mixture of
surprise and admiration. The gesture of kindness and compassion from
Roquan had not been lost on her. It was not something she had expected.
She was starting to realize only now that this was not quite the same
man she had encountered when she had first arrived in Narlass.

Amanda felt Sirinna's hands squeeze her shoulders briefly. She drew in
a slow, deep breath to keep herself composed. She had to shut out of
her mind the fact that she was leaving Sirinna, or she would never get
through this. The constant pressure inside her vagina was a reminder
that she had a means of keeping in touch with her.

If no one discovered the ruse in the first place.

"Amanda, I have spoken with Lord K'garon," said Roquan. "He will allow
you to continue your study of the scrolls."

Amanda felt a small measure of relief upon hearing this. "Master, will
I be able to obtain any more once I have finished with the ones I
have?"

"That I cannot say. You will have to inform your Master of this, and it
will be up to him whether to allow you to procure any more."

"Yes, Master." Amanda knew it would be awhile before she finished the
ones she had, but she was already looking ahead, in case this
arrangement turned out to be more permanent. She felt another tug at
her emotions at this thought, and quelled it quickly.

"It is time to go," Roquan said, a trace of reluctance in his own
voice. "Come along."

Amanda hesitated when the Overlord turned away from them and had to be
gently nudged by Sirinna to start walking. Despite the lack of a
collar, it was still considered proper for her to lead her Trainer. She
sorely wished they could break with tradition this once. She wanted to
see Sirinna as much as possible before her only contact would be by
illicit Farview.

Yet she dared not be disobedient now. She wanted to give no one an
excuse to punish her. She was determined to show she could play the
part. It was not a matter of making Sirinna proud of her, or Roquan
pleased with her. Instead, she had to satisfy herself, a far worse
critic than either of them.

As they left Roquan's quarters, the Overlord stopped at his desk and
picked up a parcel wrapped in paper and tied with a string. As he
turned with the object in hand, Amanda saw it was her scrolls.

The sun had set only moments ago over the ocean to the west, the glow
from the low-hanging clouds casting a ruddy glow over the Manor. A cool
breeze touched her skin as they turned down the path to the Portal
chamber, but this is not what sent a cold chill through her body that
made her visibly shiver. It was the memory of the last time she went
into this building with Sirinna, intending to confront Yanna, only to
have the girl nearly kill Sirinna and try to take her away through the
Portal.

Sirinna sensed her lover's apprehension and broke with protocol. She
stepped beside Amanda and took her hand, squeezing it tightly. Amanda
was immensely grateful for the gesture, and managed a smile as she
looked to Sirinna.

Amanda felt another twinge of apprehension when she walked into the
Portal chamber itself, though it was mitigated somewhat by the fact
that Roquan was there. By this time, the Portal energies had reached a
crescendo, the column of energy pulsing and emitting a thrumming noise
that made the ground vibrate under their feet.

Roquan glanced at them briefly. Sirinna squeezed Amanda's hand one last
time and took her proper position behind Amanda.

Without saying a word, the Overlord turned back to the Portal device
and gestured with one hand. There was a sound like thunder as the
energies converged at the center, and the Portal opened.

Amanda felt very anxious, not because of what she was about to face on
the other side, but at the prospect of the transport itself. The last
time she had done this was when she came to Narlass in the first place,
and she had blacked out in the middle of the journey. Sirinna had
reassured her that it had been because of her distraught emotional
state and the fact that it was a trans-universe Portal. Simply
traversing the face of Narlass was much less stressful.

Roquan paused, as if examining the Portal for imperfections, even
though he was not skilled in the ways of Magic enough to detect such
things. He finally turned to face the others and stepped to one side.
He leveled his gaze at Amanda.

Amanda looked impassively back.

"I wish you to bring your new Master great pleasure," Roquan intoned.
"And may he treat you well in return."

Amanda said nothing in reply. If it had been a ritual statement, she
had not been told if there had been a reply to it. There must not have
been, for Sirinna urged Amanda forward the very next moment.

Amanda took a deep breath to calm herself. It did little good. Her
heart was pounding and her cunt ached from the pearl buried inside it.
She steeled herself and stepped into the Portal.

For a panicked moment, she was sure she had been sent by herself. In
the brief moment that she made the passage, she could sense nothing
around her except for an incredible feeling of velocity despite that
she remained in mid-stride of a single step. It was both instantaneous
and an eternity at the same time. Before her mind could make a feeble
attempt to understand this, her foot came down softly on a very plush
carpet.

The transition was so sudden that she stumbled a bit, only to feel one
of Sirinna's hands firmly on her shoulder the next moment, steadying
her.

Amanda took a few moments to get her bearings. It felt oddly like the
room had simply changed configuration around her in the space of a
heartbeat rather than her going anywhere. Only the tingle against her
skin of the energies of the still-open Portal behind her convinced her
otherwise.

When she looked up, her eyes fell upon Lord Duric K'garon. She was a
bit taken by his appearance. Having spent so much time around the
Overlords during the Conclave, she had expected that men of influence
such as he would be much older. His youth surprised her.

Yet the next moment she forgot this, for standing just off to his side
and slightly behind him was Tanyee.

From the look of astonishment on her face, it was clear that Duric had
not told her of Amanda's arrival beforehand. Yet soon it was apparent
that it was a pleasant surprise to her, for now she was smiling broadly
as she gazed at her friend.

Amanda could not help but smile slightly in return.

It took another moment for her to remember herself, where she was, and
what was expected of her. Her gaze shifted immediately back to Duric,
who stood with his arms folded across his chest, his heavily
scrutinizing gaze upon her.

Amanda held eye contact as Sirinna gently urged her forward. As she
stepped closer to Duric, she knew at any moment he could reject her
based simply on what he saw in her eyes. Keeping her gaze with his was
also symbolic that she was accepting her life as his slave.

Amanda stopped a few feet from her new Master. When there was no sign
of disapproval, she dropped her gaze and folded her hands demurely
before her, bringing her legs together. This caused her a twinge of
pain in her tunnel, but she ignored it.

Sirinna began to speak. "This is your new slave. Owned by Master Roquan
D'ronstaq, but bound to you and to your bidding. Use her as you see
fit. May she bring you great pleasure. Treat her well."

Amanda had managed not to tremble, but her heart was still pounding in
her chest. She fought to keep her breath steady. It was some relief to
be able to drop to her knees before Duric, as now she could spread her
legs apart and ease the pressure from the pearl. She lay her hands
palm-up against her thighs and bowed her head.

And now she would wait until commanded.

For a long moment, there was silence, save for the humming energies of
the Portal. Something must have happened above her, a silent signal of
some sort, for she sensed and heard Sirinna step forward. Something
rustled softly.

"Ah, these must be the scrolls she is so enamored of," she heard Duric
say. "I would be most interested in seeing what they are myself."

For some reason she did not understand herself, she felt apprehension
at the idea that Duric would examine the scrolls she was reading.

"Thank you and Roquan for bringing her to me. You may go now, I accept
her as my slave."

Amanda's heart lurched. She held her breath for a moment as there was
movement behind her, a pause, and then a resounding boom. And then
silence.

For just a moment, Amanda trembled. She felt as if she had been
abandoned to her fate by Sirinna. She quelled that feeling very
quickly. Sirinna was simply doing what she was required to do. She had
to keep reminding herself of that.

At the same time, it was hard to comprehend that she was separated from
Sirinna now. Portal transport was still alien to her. Her normal
sensibilities insisted that Sirinna could only be as far as the next
room.

Amanda heard a rustling noise, and then the unmistakable sound of a
scroll being unrolled. After a pause, she finally heard Duric speak.
"Well, well, Amanda. It's my understanding that you are quite the
fascinating young slave."

Amanda said nothing and remained still. She had not been asked a direct
question or given a command. It was proper to do nothing until she
received either.

The scroll rolled back up again. "I have heard many things about you. I
should let you know that I will have some rather high expectations of
you."

Amanda took a very slow, deep breath to steady herself. She was a
little worried now. What had he heard about her? Was he referring just
to her sexual prowess? Surely he knew she not yet fully trained? She
was burning with the desire to tell him this last point, but she had to
remain silent. She could not dare to break with protocol now.

"I have agreed to a request made on your behalf by your Overlord,"
Duric continued as he tucked the scroll back within the bundle. "To
allow you to continue your study of these scrolls. I will do as he
requested, but only after you have proven yourself to me in other
ways."

Amanda was disappointed. She was hoping she would be able to get back
to them as soon as that evening or the next. Yet she realized she
should be glad that she was going to have the chance at all.

"Tanyee," said Duric.

"Yes, Master?"

Amanda had not heard Tanyee's voice in some time, but she had not
forgotten it. She found it a comfort. It was at least something
familiar to her.

"As you have seniority of the two of you, I am placing Amanda in your
charge when I am not present. Now, this is important, Tanyee: Whenever
you are alone with Amanda, you are to keep her aroused. Do not make her
cum unless I order it, however."

"Yes, Master," Tanyee responded eagerly. Amanda had to remind herself
that the eagerness was simply born out of a desire to please, rather
than any anticipation of "torturing" Amanda sexually. Amanda doubted
Tanyee would see it that way anyway. "Master, do you know if she has
completed her muscle control training?"

"Ah, I do not know. Amanda, answer Tanyee's question."

Amanda was grateful for the chance to speak. "I had started that
training, Master, though I had not finished it. I have developed some
skill in that area, however."

At the thought of this, one of her muscles twitched and a momentary
pain twinged in her vagina. The pearl was growing increasingly
uncomfortable inside her. She realized with some apprehension that if
she was made to cum now, it would likely hurt rather badly.

"Feel free to test her on that a bit, Tanyee, in your efforts to keep
her aroused," said Duric. "And you have free use of the salves I have
in the bath if you wish to make use of them."

Amanda was already dreading this time with her new Master. On the more
intense days of her slave training, when it seemed like she had been
kept in a constant state of sexual excitement for a single morning, it
had been a very draining experience for her, emotionally as well as
physically.

Also, she had hoped to have some quiet time with Tanyee, just to talk
to her about things other than sex. She knew that Tanyee's range of
conversation was more limited, but she had a secret hope that perhaps
she could tell Tanyee some of what she had learned in her reading of
the scrolls. She had tried that with Sirinna a few times, but Sirinna's
interest had been no more than polite. Amanda assumed it was simply a
lack of desire to learn, rather than an inability.

"Raise your head, Amanda."

Amanda lifted her eyes to her Master, though otherwise remained as she
was.

Duric appeared to give her a look that was partially scrutinizing and
partially fascinated. Amanda was not sure how to interpret it. A small
smile touched his lips. His commands to her thus far had been delivered
firmly but not unkindly. It was similar to the way the Overlords had
addressed her, but in their case it had been accompanied by a cool
sense of detachment. She didn't feel that here.

"An important rule for you, Amanda," said Duric. "Whenever you are in
my presence, and I have not commanded you, you will pleasure yourself
slowly. As always, never let yourself cum without my say."

"Yes, Master," Amanda replied dutifully. She reached a hand between her
legs, using the excuse to spread her knees apart more and try to
relieve the pressure in her cunt. She placed a finger lightly on her
womanhood and teased it. She was nervous enough that she was rather
dry. She used very gentle touches until she felt a growing slickness in
her folds. She dipped her finger down to her tunnel and drew her
wetness over her nub as it swelled with renewed arousal.

Amanda shivered as the touch became more pleasurable. It even seemed to
relieve the pressure a bit. Encouraged, she deepened her strokes,
uttering a soft, breathy moan.

Duric stepped forward and cupped a hand gently under Amanda's chin. As
he drew close, her eyes flicked down to his crotch, where his manhood
expanded under his clothing. She traced the bulging outline with her
gaze before raising her eyes to his again.

"You are quite pretty, Amanda. Very pretty and very tempting. How old
are you?"

"About fifteen, Master," replied Amanda, her voice a little strained as
her fingers squished inside her now wet slit.

"Tanyee had been the youngest girl I had ever had in my bed. At least
until now."

Amanda sensed the growing desire and lust in Duric's voice. Even as
anxious as it made her, it also sent a shudder of anticipation through
her. So much so that she nearly forgot about the pearl still nestled in
her tunnel.

Amanda forced herself to speak, her voice quavering despite her
attempts to keep it steady. "Master, m-may I please be allowed to use
the sanitary first?"

Duric paused, and for a horrible moment Amanda thought she would be
refused. Instead, he chuckled and said, "I thought Roquan would have
had you take care of that before you left."

"Yes, Master, but ... I'm a little nervous ..."

"Nervous?"

"You are my first client, Master. I am concerned about pleasing you
properly."

Duric let his hand drop and gestured for her to rise. Amanda suppressed
a wince as her vagina twinged again. Her fingers kept stroking her
slit, making her breath a light pant as she gazed at Duric with
slightly pleading eyes.

"Very admirable, Amanda. We shall see. Tanyee, show her to the sanitary
and escort her back here when she is done."

"Yes, Master." Tanyee smiled at Amanda as she stepped forward, taking
Amanda's arm.

Amanda gave Tanyee a look of gratitude and let herself be led away from
Duric's presence and through a curtained doorway to the side of the
bed. They emerged into a smaller but elegant bedroom. The floor was
covered in the same thick carpeting as Duric's bedchamber had been, and
the bed was festooned in soft furs. Lovely tapestries of pastel-shaded
landscapes were hung from the walls, though the detail was hard to see
in the subdued light.

"This will be your room that you will share with me, Amanda," Tanyee
said as she led Amanda across the room. The excitement in her voice was
evident, so much so that she dared to say in a very soft voice,
"Amanda, I am so happy to see you again. I never knew Master Duric had
asked for you."

Amanda gave Tanyee a bit of a forlorn smile. "It was a bit of a
surprise to me as well, Tanyee. Maybe I can tell you more about it
later."

Tanyee simply nodded and showed Amanda to another curtained doorway on
the other side of the room. She gestured to it and stood off to the
side,

Amanda quickly slipped inside. She headed over to the sanitary pot and
pretended to make use of it. She did not think that Tanyee could see
her, but she did not want to take any chances.

Amanda's first attempts to get her muscles to push the pearl to her
opening were unsuccessful, as they had tensed in her anxiety. With some
difficulty she quelled her rising panic and forced herself to take a
few deep breaths. She tried again, and this time she thought she had
felt something, but it was hard to tell. Everything was aching so badly
now she could barely feel the pearl anymore.

She gave it another push. The previous attempt had indeed dislodged it,
for now the pearl squirted out of her slick tunnel so fast that she
almost did not have her hand under her fast enough to catch it.

Amanda was left with a terrible ache in her cunt, but she was too
elated to care. Yet now she was faced with the problem of what to do
with the pearl.

The room was rather tiny, consisting of only the chamber pot, a small
sink, and a large pitcher of fresh water. Like any sanitary, spells
insured that waste from the pot and the sink would be transported to a
sanitary field, and fresh water transported in to top off the pitcher.
There were no need for fixtures or pipes, so there were no enclosures
to conveniently hide anything. The floor was dressed stone and mortar,
the walls plain wood panel.

Amanda's eyes scanned the floor. She finally spotted something just
under the sink.

She stood up from the pot. The ache was receding, but slowly. She
dropped to her hands and knees before the sink. Under it and off to the
side was a spot where the mortar was cracked and crumbling. She dug at
it with her fingers until she worked a chunk loose. It looked like the
pearl would just barely fit.

Amanda stood and poured some water from the pitcher over the pearl to
wash it off before crouching under the sink again. She worked the pearl
into the space and then back out again a few times until enough of the
remaining mortar had crumbled to allow it to drop in more easily.

She picked up the pieces of mortar she had removed and dumped them in
the pot. She looked back at her handiwork. She was not completely
satisfied with it. Someone with a good eye would spot it. She hoped
that only her and Tanyee made use of this particular sanitary. She did
not think Tanyee would spot it, or care about investigating it even if
she had.

Amanda washed her hands at the sink. She looked back at the pot and the
bits of mortar had already been transported away. She smiled as she
felt a small sense of accomplishment. /At least Yanna had been good for
something,/ Amanda thought.

Amanda emerged from the sanitary, Tanyee waiting for her. "Amanda, I
just wanted to tell you that you have nothing to be nervous about," she
said as she took Amanda's hand. "Master Duric is a very good Master.
He's always treated me well."

Amanda simply nodded. She had a feeling that Tanyee's standards were
different than her own.

Tanyee led her back into the main bed chamber. She could still feel a
ghost of the pressure the pearl had placed on her, though now it did
not change as she moved. She was still afraid that this was going to be
unpleasant.

When she arrived back in the chamber, her eyes beheld the now naked
form of her new Master. He was not nearly as broad in the shoulder as
Roquan, but he was very fit. Amanda even found him somewhat attractive.

Her gaze alighted briefly on his manhood. It stood at about half-mast,
but at the sight of Amanda, it grew steadily hard and erect until it
was pulsing with his heartbeat. With a gesture, he drew Amanda towards
him.

As Amanda approached, his hand sought out her thighs, sliding between
them smoothly as she stepped forward. One of his strong, thick fingers
slid into her folds and firmly rubbed her womanhood with quick,
flicking strokes of his fingertip.

Amanda shivered and slid her feet apart, her pussy still wet from
earlier. Her breathing again became a pant as he made her pleasure rise
quickly. She caught herself and applied her muscles. There was a twinge
of pain from the residual soreness caused by the pearl, but she
suppressed any reaction to it.

Duric deepened his strokes, continuing until Amanda was moaning softly.
She trembled as her body tried to rise to the point of orgasm, but she
held herself back despite the discomfort.

Duric finally withdrew his hand. "On your knees, Amanda."

Panting heavily, Amanda dropped to her knees before him.

"Tanyee, pleasure her as she attends to me."

Tanyee dropped to her knees behind Amanda. Her hand came up between
Amanda's thighs and reached up into Amanda's pussy, fingers sinking
into the quivering folds and moving with deep, broad strokes.

Amanda uttered a small whimper as she tightened her muscles again,
ignoring the pain that accompanied it. She leaned forward and took
Duric's manhood into her mouth.

"Slowly now, Amanda," Duric said, laying his hand gently on Amanda's
head. "Just get me excited rather than make me climax."

For a moment, Amanda thought Duric would suddenly curl his fingers into
her hair and guide her as Lanno might. Instead, he softly stroked her
hair. Amanda concentrated as hard as she could and used very slow,
sensuous movements on his cock. She knew exactly what Duric wanted.
"Tease rather than satisfy," as Sirinna had referred to this technique.

Despite her attempts to control herself, little moans and whimpers
issued from her nose, and she trembled constantly as Tanyee stroked her
as relentlessly as Duric had moments ago. The ache in her cunt grew
worse the more she flexed her muscles to hold herself off from orgasm.

Amanda was intent on keeping herself focused. What she was doing for
Duric was one of her better talents. She wanted him to know that. She
was finally rewarded with the distinct sound of a satisfied groan from
Duric when she tilted her head back and swirled her tongue against the
most sensitive spot for a few moments. She slowly took him back inside,
letting her lips slide forward until nearly all of him was inside her
mouth. She paused, then worked her head back and forth a bit, letting
him stay deeply inside while his cock stroked against her tongue.

Duric's hand appeared on her shoulder and gently nudged her back.

Amanda relented, but slowly, performing one last sensuous stroke
against him as he slipped out of her mouth. Amanda could hear him
breathing hard.

Amanda was panting as well, though she struggled to keep her composure
and against the urge to writhe against Tanyee's touch. Her pussy was
straining badly at the edge, her cunt hurting.

"Tanyee, that's enough for now," Duric announced, his voice a bit
breathy and strained. "Stand up, Amanda."

Tanyee withdrew her hand. Amanda paused for a moment to compose herself
before she complied with the order.

"Tanyee did a rather nice job keeping you excited and aroused. I
believe some reward is in order for her. Tanyee, lie down on my bed
with your legs spread."

Tanyee smiled and did as she was told without question or hesitation.
Amanda watched her. Everything Tanyee did seemed to be done with an
attitude of someone that really enjoyed what she was doing, no matter
what was asked of her. Tanyee had known of Amanda's reluctance before,
but Amanda had not been a slave at that point. It was acceptable for
her to be hesitant. Amanda worried that Tanyee would pick up on the
fact that she was not as happy about her position as Tanyee was.

"Amanda."

Amanda blinked back out of her thoughts and gave Duric a sheepish look.

"Pleasure Tanyee with your mouth, Amanda. And when you do, remain on
your knees."

Amanda paused a moment, not understanding at first how she could do
this until she remembered that night with Lanno. Her eyes widened a
touch and she felt a nervous shiver pass through her body. As she
turned away to comply, her heart started to pound in fear. She silently
cursed Lanno for doing this to her, for making her fear a situation
that was anything like her nights with him.

Amanda climbed onto the bed and crawled towards Tanyee. When she had
positioned herself between Tanyee's legs, there was only just enough
room on the bed for her knees. She even had to pull them in a bit,
which had the effect of thrusting her ass outward more.

She leaned forward, closing her eyes as she drew close to Tanyee's
folds. The smell of Tanyee's arousal, familiar to her even after they
had been separated for so long, came to her rather strongly. She heard
Tanyee sigh in anticipation.

Amanda spread her hands along the inside of Tanyee's thighs. Tanyee
responded with a quiver through her body, her pussy glistening. Amanda
dipped her head down and slid her tongue up and down Tanyee's slit,
eliciting a soft moan of pleasure from her.

She felt Duric's hands upon her hips. She managed to suppress a flinch
at the touch, but her heart thundered and her body trembled despite her
attempts to stop it. His hands slid over her ass, and she expected to
feel the sting of him slapping her, but he massaged them instead.
Amanda grew a little less apprehensive.

One of Duric's hands slipped down between her legs and nudged at her
thighs. She slid her knees a bit further apart, and then shuddered and
uttered a low whimper when his fingers squished in her folds again.

Amanda licked faster at Tanyee, trying to maintain her concentration.
Tanyee panted, lying completely submissive on the bed with her head
lolled to one side.

Duric's hands squeezed her hips and held them tightly. Her breath
quickened as he drew forward and she felt the first touch of his
manhood at her folds. Her fingers curled slightly into Tanyee's thighs
as Duric penetrated her.

Amanda uttered a ragged sigh against Tanyee's pussy as she felt her
cunt twinge again when his cock slipped past the point where she had
had the pearl. It was not as bad as she had thought it would be, as
some of the pain was overwhelmed by the other more pleasurable
sensations that accompanied his entry.

And they /were/ pleasant. When he began thrusting, it was slow and
steady at first. In her already heightened state of stimulation, even
at that angle the stroke of his cock against her was enough to spark
her pleasure rising again.

Her fear of a repeat of Lanno was fading, but the leftover pain from
the pearl was still there and got a little worse as the pace increased.
Amanda tried to ignore it. She focused as much as she could on Tanyee's
pleasure. She pressed her lips to Tanyee's sex and sucked at Tanyee's
womanhood, licking hard at it with her tongue at the same time. Tanyee
moaned deeply and shuddered, breathing hard as if gasping for breath.
Her body trembled, and Amanda knew that Tanyee was holding herself back
from orgasm.

Amanda soon was in the same position, having to tense her muscles
against it as Duric's body slapped against her rear with each
increasingly harder thrust into her. She moaned half in pain, half in
pleasure. She dearly hoped now she had not done herself some injury.
She did not want to have to request a Healer, or her ruse might be
discovered.

The problem was something that neither Amanda nor Sirinna could have
foreseen. Yanna's training in using her sex muscles had also involved
techniques to relax her vagina so it could accommodate the pearl
better. Sirinna did now know about the technique, so she had not been
able to teach it to Amanda.

Suddenly Amanda heard Duric's breathless voice. "When I cum ... you may
both do so as well ..."

Duric pounded into Amanda, and in response, Amanda lashed at Tanyee's
womanhood. Suddenly Duric shuddered and uttered a loud groan, his cock
burying itself inside Amanda. She felt him throbbing inside her, each
pulse bring another twinge against the sore spot inside her.

Amanda's pussy strained for a painful moment before it let go. She
uttered a short cry as she started to throb, each pulse like Duric's in
that it brought both pleasure and pain to her. Fortunately for her
there was more of the former than the latter, her moans less anguished
than they had been before. They were nearly drowned out by Tanyee's
cries as she released, her hips bucking as her orgasm swept over her.
She gasped and moaned as Amanda made the effort to lick gently at her
womanhood and prolong her pleasure as much as possible.

Duric withdrew from Amanda, panting lightly, leaving a dull but deep
ache in Amanda's tunnel. Amanda remained where she was and panted for
breath as her orgasm faded. She felt a gentle touch on her head. She
looked up and saw Tanyee smiling down at her. Amanda managed a weak
smile in return. Suddenly, concern flickered across Tanyee's eyes.

Before Amanda could react to this, Duric gave Amanda a light slap on
her ass. "On your feet, both of you."

The two slaves climbed out of bed and soon stood side by side in front
of their Master. To Amanda's surprise, he was smiling at her.

"I do hope Tanyee does not become jealous of my attentions towards
you," said Duric. "Though I daresay she enjoyed your pleasure."

He looked up at Tanyee, and Tanyee smiled brightly in return. "Yes,
Master, she was very good. She always was back at the Manor."

Amanda blushed faintly at this praise. Duric cupped her chin and made
her look up at him again.

"Fifteen. So young. Even with your training and your experience, you
seem so innocent." He grinned. "I really find that very exciting."

Had this been before she became a slave, Amanda might have found this a
rather perverted thing to say. Now it did not seem to provoke any such
reaction at all.

His hand dropped and he turned away. "As much as I would love to spend
the whole night with my new acquisition, I have affairs of state to
attend to. You will have to see to each other's pleasure until I
return."

Amanda's eyes flicked to the scrolls, which lay on a dresser near the
door. When Duric went over to the dresser to fetch some fresh clothes
for himself, he made no notice of them.

Amanda wanted to ask him if she could read her scrolls, but Tanyee was
already tugging at Amanda's arm. Reluctantly, she turned away and
headed into her new home with Tanyee.

"I've so much wanted to be with you again, Amanda," Tanyee said in a
soft voice as they stepped through the curtain. "I really enjoyed the
intimate moments we had back at the Manor."

Amanda stopped them at the bed. She glanced towards the curtain, where
she still could hear Duric moving around. She lowered her voice to a
whisper. "Tanyee, is there any way I can just rest for a little while?"

"Master Duric wanted us to pleasure each other until he returned,
Amanda," said Tanyee. She paused and cocked her head. "Is something the
matter?"

Amanda paused, then shook her head.

"Are you sure? It looked like you were distressed over something a
little while ago."

"I-I'm just a little tired, that's all."

"It looked like you were in pain."

Amanda blinked and stared in surprise.

"Was that it?" asked Tanyee urgently, squeezing Amanda's hand.

/Gods, can she read me that easily?/ Amanda thought. She wondered if it
were possible to keep anything secret from Tanyee, let alone the pearl.

She heard a noise from outside, like a door closing. She waited and
heard nothing but silence from the main bed chamber. She looked back to
Tanyee and sighed. "Just a little bit. It's nothing."

"Did you strain yourself when you were trying to hold back your
orgasm?"

"Um ... yes, something like that," Amanda said quickly. She was hoping
she could get away with that, as it was not too far from the truth.

"Is it in your pussy, or is it deeper than that?"

"Just in my pussy. I'm sure it's nothing. I ..."

Tanyee smiled. "Here, lie down on the bed, Amanda."

Amanda sighed, wondering if Tanyee had simply dismissed her concern and
was about to set upon her to fulfill Duric's last order to them.
Instead, she opened a small drawer on a night table next to the bed and
took out a small, corked vial filled with a blue-green gel. Amanda
looked at it curiously as she lay down.

"How far inside your pussy does it hurt?" Tanyee asked, sitting on the
edge of the bed and popping the cork from the vial.

"Kind of far in. About halfway."

Tanyee considered for a moment, then got up again and returned to the
drawer. From it she produced a tapering, phallic-shaped object. "Here,
I'll use this."

"What's that, Tanyee?" Amanda asked, gesturing to the vial.

Tanyee sat back down on the bed. "When I first came here, I was a
little too eager to please. I strained my muscles a few times, but only
right near my pussy. The Healer gave me this for it. I haven't had to
use it for some time, but it's still good. I think I have enough here
for you."

"Wait, are you sure it's okay for you to do this? I don't want to get
you into trouble."

Tanyee smiled as she slathered the gel on the surface of the dildo-like
object. "I think Master Duric would not mind. He would appreciate not
having to take you to the Healer. Here, spread your legs for me."

Amanda nodded and quickly did as Tanyee asked.

Tanyee pressed the tip of the dildo against Amanda's slit and pressed.
As it started to penetrate Amanda's tunnel, she gasped as she realized
that it was much thicker than it looked. The slickness of the gel made
it slide in easily, but it still felt very tight.

When it reached the spot that was sore, her pain flared. But the next
moment, the pain abruptly faded. As more of the object was worked into
her, the pain all but disappeared, leaving only a very small lingering
ache.

"Oh, /thank/ you, Tanyee!" Amanda gushed with relief.

Tanyee smiled. She started to pull the dildo out, then slid it back in
again. She worked it in a steady rhythm back and forth.

"Uhhn ... i-is this part of the treatment?" Amanda moaned.

"No, but we are supposed to pleasure each other."

Amanda gave Tanyee a genuine smile. Her act of kindness had made
Amanda's first day more bearable. As she had hoped, she had managed to
re-forge the bond of friendship she had enjoyed with Tanyee in those
days back at the Manor.

She felt she was going to need every little bit of help she could
muster to get her through this.
