"Who am I to look a gift horse in the mouth," replied Benjamin with a smile. "No pun intended. Of course you may ask her. But I have just two cautions for you. First, don't be disappointed if she says no. She is a free woman until we claim her and she may choose to remain free until that time. And second, you should make it clear that, if she decides to join you, then she is adding to her time of slavery. She should understand that she will be a slave just like you and that those days will not act as replacements for the days that she has already committed to. Do you still think that she will join you?"
"I don't know Master," replied Laura. "But thank you for allowing me to ask her."
Laura's question and demeanor and innocence left Benjamin totally disarmed. He was extremely aroused by Laura. Laura's naivete only enhanced his arousal. And the thought of having Rose as his slave for additional days had his cock threatening to tear through his pants. But Laura's innocence left him in a quandary. He wanted to ravish his slavegirl but was afraid that he might be angering the gods if he did.
It would almost be like taking a saint.
The next morning, Laura told Rose about her conversation with Benjamin.
She had expected a quick rejection and some equally quick punishment.
What she got instead was, "What the Hell. Sounds like fun."
"But he wanted me to be sure that you understood that you would be a total slave to he and Diana. I don't think that it will be a game or anything."
"No problem," replied Rose. "I think I'm starting to like this side of things. Of course, I plan on going back to the top side. But this is a fun vacation. At least it is as long as nobody calls me baby doll."
Laura called Benjamin later that day, but he was not at home. She described the conversation that she had had with Rose and, by nightfall, both girls were naked at the feet of Benjamin and Diana. They spent the evening being taught posture and poise and grace by Diana and being fucked once each by Benjamin. It appeared that having two slavegirls in the house was doing wonders for his libido.
There were several summonses for Laura and, each time, she brought Rose. Each girl focused intently on her lessons and each grew more accomplished with each class. Benjamin continued to want to sample their wares each evening that they were in his home, and occasionally Diana wanted a taste of pleasure also. But each night, they were bedded down together so that they could sleep or do whatever slavegirls do on their own time.
During one of Maggie's visits to Rose's house, she brought along an unexpected guest. Afterwards, both Rose and Laura decided that the guy must have been gay. He was just too too affected. But the visit had been pretty embarrassing and unsettling. Maggie had strolled into the house unannounced and the "swisher" had followed quickly behind her. Maggie announced that this was a fitting and ordered the two girls to strip, which caused the girls to start giggling furiously since they were already naked.
Maggie stopped her imperial approach at that point and then had her cohort take over. He told them that he was tailoring some harnesses for them for the day of the feast. One at a time, each of the naked giggling girls had strips of leather wrapped around them while the tailor marked things and jotted down notes. Eventually, Maggie led her friend back out the front door and the two naked slavegirls fell to the floor together laughing for all they were worth.
Equus was two days away and Laura and Rose reported to the Holcomb household. Their tack was fitted and adjusted. They were run and groomed. Their diet was strictly prescribed and monitored. In short, they were being prepared as show animals would be.
On the night before they were to leave for the event, however, they were allowed to join Benjamin and Diana in the living room before dinner. And they were told that they would be able to have a normal meal, "since it might be the last opportunity that you have to eat meat for the next week," explained Diana. "I think that you will be eating a lot of oats and carrots and apples for a few days."
It wasn't exactly a normal meal, however. It turned out that Jim had also been invited to dinner. Laura wasn't sure if she should be embarrassed or upset. But she knew that she was not happy to see him there, or to have him see her there.
The Holcomb's normal servants took care of the meal, allowing the two slaves to kneel at their owners' feet. Rose knelt beside Diana. Laura knelt between Benjamin and her husband. Diana and Benjamin fed their two slaves from their own plates, adding to the humiliation of the two naked girls.
After dinner, everyone retired to the living room where the servants provided after-dinner drinks. Again, the two girls knelt at their owners' feet. After awhile, Benjamin spoke.
"The girls will be pretty busy for the next week. I suggest that we satisfy them now. Which one would you like, Jim?"
Jim was confused by the question and took awhile to answer. "I'll start with Laura," was his clumsy response. She was furious at this lame answer. She would have preferred to hear him say something like "Laura is the only one for me." But instead, she found herself being declared to be an appetizer. Each girl ended up being impaled. And then the two men traded and each was impaled again. Diana took advantage of available feminine tongues and also enjoyed the evening.
Chapter 8: Equus
Rose and Laura were given another surprise the next morning. In fact, the entire day would turn out to be a series of surprises. The first one was discovered when they woke up. They had gone to bed wrapped in each other's arms like lovers. They awakened, however, to find their wrists bound behind their backs. At least they were each facing one another so that they could kiss each other good morning.
They were not released, although they were fed breakfast by their two owners. Fortunately, Benjamin and Diana were capable feeders and only a few crumbs landed on the naked breasts of the two captives.
The second surprise came in the form of their transportation. Laura had known that they would be pony girls for the weekend. She hadn't realized, however, how far some people would take this concept. When she and Rose were led outside, they were quickly ushered into a horse trailer and fastened securely inside so that neither would fall or become injured.
"Guess we're really ponies," said Laura as she rolled her eyes.
"Guess so. I just hope that they ease up on the oats."
"They're feeding you oats?!?!" asked a shocked Laura.
"Wait!!!" exclaimed Rose. "What are they feeding you?"
"Pretty much whatever I want," grinned Laura as she leaned across and kissed Rose on the tip of her nose.
"Bitch!"
After a jostling ride in the trailer, they arrived at the destination.
Benjamin opened the door by letting down the ramp and then turned the two girls over to a man who was given instructions to prepare them for the parade. Leashes were attached to their collars after they were unfastened from their bindings in the trailer and they were led off by their new keeper.
"Where are we going?" asked Rose. This was met by a sudden stop and a swift strike with the man's crop. Without saying a word, he started walking again, tugging the two girls behind him. Neither Rose nor Laura said another word.
They entered a barn-like structure, but it was unlike any barn that the girls had ever seen or read about. Along one wall was a row of stalls, like one would expect in any barn. But that is where the comparison ended. On the other wall was a row of vanity seats, complete with mirrors and cosmetics. In the middle of the barn was a hot-tub with several girls lounging and giggling. To Laura, it appeared more like a harem than a barn.
