Obviously, Ted had passed his final exam. Grace made a mental note to get some feedback from Gretchen. And she made another mental note to figure out a way to own the Norse Goddess. She too wanted the blonde mistress as a slave.
Grace focused Ted back on his two days of slavery. "We know that there were some things that you did not like. Were there any things that you did like?"
Ted thought for a moment. "Well that massage that I told you about was one thing. It was torment, but it was delicious torment."
Grace nodded in understanding. "Go on."
"I didn't mind being displayed on that cross at dinner. I didn't like what happened after dinner, but it was kind of thrilling to be on display and having people look at me. And I was erect the entire time," he said proudly.
"I'm sure you were," smiled Grace. "So let's review. As a slave, you learned that you liked some things and you found some things repulsive. You have been given some knowledge and some skills that are designed to make you a better master. How will you use that?"
"It made me understand limits," he responded. "Each person has their own limits. For me it was cocks attached to other men. For each girl, I have to find their limits. I can test a limit and sometimes even stretch it a little. But I can't violate it."
"Good boy," Grace smiled brightly. "You have learned a valuable lesson. There's hope for you yet. Now you need to think about what you will tell the girls."
Chapter 15: A New World Order
"Well, what's a few cocks among friends?" joked Ted at dinner that night. Meredith's eyes were wide open in amazement as he told the story of kneeling in the circle of masters. Grace had allowed Meredith to kneel beside her husband in case any tender loving care needed to be administered, although she didn't disclose her reason to either the master or the slave.
Meredith remained silent but she was truly amazed. Ted was the most homophobic, bigoted, closed-minded person in the world when it came to gay sex. And yet she had just heard him describe in a light-hearted way how he had sucked six cocks.
Alana was serving this evening. And Grace had Kelly stand beside her instead of kneeling. As Ted related his experiences, Grace used her fingers to stroke and probe Kelly's sex. Occasionally, she would raise a glistening finger and either rub it around a stiff nipple or have her daughter lick it clean. She hoped that this wanton and lewd act would help Ted realize that anything is possible. And she hoped that it would help him relax enough to be able to tell his story. It seemed to be working.
It turned out that Ted was a hunter during the weekly event instead of being one of the hunted. He seemed to be as enthusiastic about the event as his wife had been. And being reminded of the event caused Meredith to slip beneath the table and place her palms on his thighs. "May I pleasure you, Master?" she asked.
Ted gave his consent and then went on to describe his hunting prowess and how he had deftly stalked his prey. And then he described his first kill. Alana bit her lower lip to try to maintain her composure but Kelly burst out in laughter.
"I had this sweet young thing dead in my sights. She was beautiful as she ran across the field and I was leading her perfectly. And then, just as I pulled the trigger, she fell and I shot this guy. It was disgusting!"
"But I kept hunting. I never found her again but I found her sister. And I bagged her. So after the dinner, I took them back with me. I let him use his mouth to get me hard and then I fucked her silly. Then I had her use her mouth to get me hard and I fucked him silly."
"Wow!" was all that Meredith could think as she slipped her lips up and down her husband's cock as he sat at the table. "Maybe I underestimated him."
Dinner was completed and Grace sent the girls into the kitchen to clean up. She invited Ted into the living room where they sat together in the couch. She leaned over and kissed his cheek. "Well done, Master Edward. I think that the girls will respond nicely to you now."
Chapter 16: Business Opportunity
Another month went by in the happy harem. Each of the girls was content and each of the owners was very happy with their property. On the weekends, the girls toiled away on Alana's house and were getting close to finishing the easy work on the inside. They knew that there was more work on the outside and wondered how they would handle that. They had become accustomed to working naked but they knew that the other neighbors would probably object to that when they worked in the flower beds.
During the week, the girls pursued their own separate interests. Alana designed buildings. Meredith had taken up a new interest in organizing charity events. And Ted had convinced Kelly to go to college, so she spent most days in class or studying.
In the evenings, however, they were all naked and beautiful slavegirls who existed purely for the enjoyment of Grace and Ted. They prepared and served dinner together. They entertained their owners with either a dance or some sexual performance each evening. And they warmed the beds of their owners. Everything was perfect in everyone's mind.
On an evening when Ted, or Master Edward as he had become known as, wanted Kelly and Meredith. Grace agreed and took Alana to bed, although they slept in Alana's new master suite, complete with a huge master bath and a king-size bed.
As Alana laid cuddled up against her Mistress, Grace laid out an idea. "Pet, I received a call today from Master Charles. He was looking for help in designing a new event hall and he wanted to know if I knew of anyone who could help. Mind you, I never told him that you were an architect. So it's fine if you say no."
"What is he looking for in the new hall, Mistress?" she asked.
"I don't know, little one. Maybe that's something you should ask him yourself."
"Yes, Mistress," she replied and then she resumed her licking of her mistress' sex.
Alana was quickly becoming Grace's favorite. All of the girls were beautiful, pleasing and obedient. But Alana somehow had an elegance about her. She carried herself proudly even when she may feel embarrassment or humiliation. She truly was Grace's slave princess.
She had to hide he favoritism from the girls, however. She was worried about Meredith. Meredith was the oldest of the slaves, although only a year older than Alana. She was beautiful by anyone's standards and, since the girls' visit to the ranch, Grace had received more offers to buy Meredith than either of the other two. But she was afraid that Meredith might somehow start to feel inferior if she knew of Grace's affection for Alana, especially because of Ted's interest in the other girls. Grace attributed Ted's behavior to the "green pastures syndrome." Ted and Meredith had been married for several years and, all of a sudden, two beautiful women were dropped into his lap; literally. She made a mental note to talk to Ted. Perhaps he should spend more time alone with his wife.
Kelly had adjusted very nicely to the change from being a mistress to being a slave. In fact, she seemed even freer in her new role. Even though she had been reluctant and even pouty at the ranch, she had turned out to be the most carefree and adventurous of the trio. She certainly was the most energetic, which sometimes earned her punishments.
Kelly was the one who kept reminding Grace that they still needed to be registered. And she was the only one who was excited when she learned that the branding iron had arrived. She was disappointed, however, when she learned that the mark was to be placed on her bottom. She had wanted it to be more prominent and Grace was convinced that she would have worn the little lopsided heart emblem in the middle of her forehead if she had been left to decide.
