"I would use electrolysis and have it permanently removed. But that's just me," Rose went on. Then she placed two fingers together and easily shoved them into Laura's sex, eliciting a gasp from the naked girl.
"Is she always this wet?" asked Rose, holding her glistening fingers up for Benjamin and Diana to see.
"Always," replied Benjamin. "She is always ready. She always tells us how humiliated she is, but it seems to agree with her."
Rose held her hand to her lips and licked her fingers clean. "Mmmmm. So sweet. So perfect. I really must have her. I will double my offer."
Laura listened intently but felt a shudder rush through her body causing her breasts to jiggle slightly. She wondered what the original offer was and then chastised herself for even thinking about things like that."
"Sorry, Rose," replied Diana. "The answer is still no. As Benjamin has already said, she is just too precious to us. And even for two million the answer is no."
Laura gasped. Rose had offered to buy her for two million dollars? She didn't know whether to be proud that she could elicit such a value or indignant that her neighbor had offered money to own her."
"But we might lease her to you from time to time," said Benjamin, causing Laura's heart to sink. "It would have to be under the terms of the original slavery. But it might work out. Diana and I have been talking about spending some time in Europe . And we can't be having our slave idling all that time. Yes, it might work out."
Laura stood in shock as she heard the three other people in the room discussing her as if she were simply a piece of furniture or a dog that needed sitting while the owners were away. "First they talk about selling me," she thought indignantly. "Now they are going to lease me?" She felt like screaming but only clenched her fingers more tightly behind her neck. She knew that screaming would result in a punishment and she had learned that she wanted to avoid that, if at all possible.
"Leasing," said Rose, as if pondering the possibilities. "Yes, that might work. In fact, that's pure genius. It's the best of both worlds. We both get to enjoy her. We both get to keep our own schedules. It's almost like slaves on a time-share."
Diana laughed at Rose's description of the possible solution. "Yes, almost like a time-share. What do you think about that solution, pet?"
Laura looked incredulously at Diana, biting her lower lip to hold back the outrage that she felt. "I don't know what to think, Mistress," was all that she felt safe saying in reply.
"It's been so long since I've had a slavegirl," Rose went on. "This will be good."
"Why has it been so long?" asked Benjamin. "Surely you have the wherewithal to own one."
Rose sighed. "The wherewithal, yes. The desire, yes. Unfortunately, I have lost touch with the community. It wasn't until Mother invited me to join the club a couple of months ago that I have gotten back involved. And it takes time to find the right slavegirl."
"How many have you owned?" asked Diana. Laura listened intently to the conversation with a mixture of curiosity and revulsion. These people were talking about the ownership of other human beings and Laura still had not gotten used to the concept.
"Only two. Mother gave me the first one when I was thirteen. I kept her for five years until it was time to leave for college and then we sold her. I couldn't show up at the dorm with a slave, could I?"
"No, I suppose not," replied Diana. "What about the other one."
"She was really my favorite. And I didn't even have to pay for her. I just claimed her. She was a sorority sister at college and I sort of seduced her into slavery. But once I owned her, she was a very dedicated slavegirl. She even stayed with me through graduate school. But when her father died, I released her so she could take care of her mother." Rose sighed. "I still see her occasionally, but it's difficult when the ownership rights are changed."
"I guess I've just been waiting for the right girl since then," she sighed again and glanced at Laura, causing Laura to fidget uncomfortably.
"And you think that our Laura is the right girl?" asked Benjamin.
"I think that she could be," replied Rose. "She's truly magnificent. And she is new to all of this, which makes her easy to train. And she still hasn't gotten used to being a slave. That causes all sorts of delicious humiliation."
"I see," replied Benjamin. "Well, the agreement is that we can have her one day a week and one week in the Summer. With our busy schedule, we haven't been able to take full advantage of all of her commitments. And this Summer looks to be very full for us also."
Laura did not like the direction of this conversation. She wasn't sure how it would end, but she was positive that she would not like the conclusion. On top of that, her arms were growing tired. She had been standing, on display, for a long time with her hands behind her neck. She could feel the strain on her shoulders and could feel her arms growing weary.
"Perhaps you could have her for a day or two. Sort of a test spin, if you know what I mean," Benjamin announced. Laura just groaned and closed her eyes to try to shut out the latest indignity.
"It only seems fair since you seem so intent on owning her," he went on. "You have offered a lot of money for her and, while we have no intention on selling our pet, you should at least have a chance to take her for a spin to make sure that you are really that interested in her."
"Oh my," exclaimed Rose. "That is very generous of you. Are you certain?" she looked from Benjamin to Diana who simply nodded.
"Yes, dear," I think that could be arranged. "There might be a cost, however."
"That's not a problem," said Rose confidently. "Just name your price."
"You," replied Diana.
"You want me to name the price?" asked Rose.
"No dear," smiled Diana. "You are the price."
"Oh," said Rose quietly. "Oh my. I'm not sure that I fully understand."
"It's really quite simple," interjected Benjamin. "We are willing to give you our Laura for seven of her twenty-four hour commitments to us. In exchange, we want you to be our slavegirl for a one-week period later this Summer."
"You two are really incorrigible!" said Rose. "I'm sure that you two had this all planned out from the start." She laughed and then threw her head back. "Might be fun. I've never been on the receiving end. What and where?"
"Well, the what would be that you would become Laura's slave sister for the week. We have been invited to participate in the Equus Equestrian Fair this Summer and we thought that you would make a lovely ponygirl along with Laura. You are both about the same size and build. I think that you would make a beautiful pair pulling a cart for the races. And of course, there would be other events that we might enter you in."
Laura had originally been shocked at the offer made by Benjamin and Diana. It was still inconceivable that she could be auctioned off or loaned or sold or leased to another. Then her feelings turned more hopeful as she heard the details, knowing full well that Rose would never agree to enslave herself. But a glance in Rose's direction told her that Rose was seriously considering the offer, and that sent dread flowing through Laura's veins.
"Why not?" Rose suddenly said. "Never tried it from the bottom. It would be a nice education for when I finally acquire a slavegirl of my own." Laura simply groaned. "Will Mom be there?" Rose finally asked.
"I'm sure she will be," replied Diana. "She always makes time on her schedule for the Equus."
"Well this is going to be hard to live down. Promise me that you won't loan me to her. It would be too embarrassing to be pulling her cart."
"We make no promises about anything," said Benjamin, "other than we give you seven days with Laura and you give us seven days. Beyond that, you are a slave to do with as we choose."
