"Good evening, Dr. Blackwell. Thank you for agreeing to meet with me."
"Good evening, Mark," replied Richard. "Your offer intrigued me. I had to learn more."
Mark nodded. "I was hoping that the amount would be sufficient to start a dialog. I am not sure what the market price for slaves is so I had to guess. I am certain that I did not overvalue your girl, though. She is worth at least the sum that I offered.
"The value of merchandise is whatever a buyer and seller agree upon," commented Richard. "But I am surprised that the offer came from you."
"I am quite capable of paying the twenty million, Dr. Blackwell, if that is what you mean."
"No," replied Richard. "That is not what I meant. I meant that you have only recently met my girl and can't possibly know her well enough to want to buy her. Plus, she is four years older than you. I would have thought you would find my other girl more to your liking."
Mark nodded in understanding. "If by your other girl you mean Katy, I could consider it. She is another valuable piece of property. I was not aware that you had claimed ownership of her, though."
"What makes you think I have ownership of either one of them?" Richard asked. "Slavery is illegal."
"With Innocence, it was quite clear that you were her owner that night I came for the two girls," responded Mark. "It was less clear about Katy. She likes to play at the slavery game and I assumed she was just playing again. They are both priceless treasures, though. I would be happy to take them both off your hands if you would prefer."
This boy certainly did not lack confidence, thought Richard. Most people his age would be flustered over a conversation like this. Mark seemed very self-assured, though.
"What about the age difference?" asked Richard.
"It is of no importance to me," said Mark in response. "As I mentioned, Innocence is a priceless treasure. She is exquisite. Plus, she is just now moving into her sexual prime."
"I hope that you will not be offended by this, Dr. Blackwell," Mark continued. "But she felt positively heavenly wrapped around my cock that night. I had intended to share both girls with the others but I ended up keeping Innocence in a white collar. I'm surprised that you loan her to others the way you do."
"White collar?" asked Richard with a puzzled look on his face.
"Yes," nodded Mark. "A white collar indicates private stock; look but don't touch. Red signifies that the slave is available to use sexually. Black collar slaves can be fucked and punished."
"I see," nodded Richard. "What color was Katy that night?"
"Red," replied Mark. "Why do you loan out Innocence?"
"I do it because I can and because I wish to," he responded. "Initially, it was part of her conditioning. I suppose it still is for conditioning to some degree. It keeps her aware of her status."
"Plus, I have two girls now," Richard continued. "If I loan out one, I still have the other to service my needs. The other night when you took both to the party was the first time I loaned them both out at the same time." "I see," said Mark. "If you don't mind my asking, how did your needs get handled that night?"
"I have a third girl," said Richard. "I don't own her but she is available to me whenever I wish."
"You have a very rich life, Dr. Blackwell. Now back to my offer. Would you be willing to sell Innocence to me? Or Innocence and Katy?"
Chapter 29
"I have good news, girls," Richard announced. Innocence and Kaitlin were naked and kneeling before him.
He had thought long and hard after his meeting with Mark. After two subsequent meetings with the wealthy boy, they came to an agreement that they both thought was satisfactory. They even memorialized the agreement in a contract although they both recognized that it was not a document that could be enforced in a court of law. They drafted it primarily so that the expectations were clear to both parties.
Mark would have "ownership rights" to both girls for ninety days each year. He could claim both girls at the same time or he could claim them individually. He could claim a girl for ninety consecutive days or he could spread his ownership days out over the year. He could not, however, utilize all of his days on weekends. At least half of each girl's weekends had to be left free.
The partial ownership of Innocence consisted of lifetime rights. For the rest of her life, Mark would have a claim of ninety days per year. His rights over Kaitlin were also lifetime, or until she married. Mark would have to negotiate with Kaitlin's husband if he was to continue having rights over her.
Richard insisted that no modifications be allowed on either girl. Mark was fine with that clause. Both girls were already perfect in his mind. He did ask that he have the right to a small tattoo as his mark of ownership on each girl if he chose to do that at some point in the future. Richard conceded that was fine as long as the tattoo was no larger than a quarter inch square and was placed in a designated spot. They agreed on four acceptable locations: on the lower swell of either breast near the base of the breast, on the back of the girl's neck near the hairline, or on the perineum between her asshole and pussy.
Mark also wanted the ability to install rings in the girls if he chose to in the future. After negotiating this point for quite some time and increasing his offer from three million to five million, they agreed that one ring per girl was acceptable. Either nipple could be pierced or the clit hood could receive a ring.
In exchange for these rights, Mark agreed to pay five million dollars per girl. This money would be placed into an irrevocable trust for each girl to be used as the girl deemed fit. Both males were quite pleased with the bargain that they had struck.
"You both have trust funds now," Richard went on as he gazed down at the two lovelies at his feet. "And each trust fund contains five million dollars."
"Oooooo!!!!" squealed Kaitlin in delight.
Uh oh, thought Innocence. She knew that there must be a catch. Richard did not have that kind of money.
"That's wonderful, Master," Innocence replied. "How did you do that?"
"I sold you," he replied. Both girls gasped in unison. "Well, I didn't exactly sell you. I sold an interest in each of you. Mark now has twenty five percent ownership in each of you."
"But Daddy!" complained Kaitlin. "He's my friend. How could you do that?"
"Because I own you and I can," replied Richard. "And he made me a very good offer."
"How long does his ownership last?" asked Innocence.
"He has lifetime rights, sweetheart," was Richard's response.
Cency's heart sank. Just when she thought that nothing could sink her lower, there always seemed to be a new surprise in store for her. It was one thing to be sold for a day or a week. It was humiliating and she didn't like it. But she had adjusted to it. But this was entirely different. This was forever. A quarter of her future had just been given away.
"Oh," was all that she said in response.
Richard wasn't completely sure how his girls would react to the news. As he continued to gaze down at his two slaves, their reactions were clear. Kaitlin was clearly angry. He wasn't sure why, though. She loved her slavery games. And she had adapted to being his slave very nicely.
He unzipped his pants and pulled out his cock. "Come girl," he said as he continued to look at Kaitlin. He saw her drop her hands to the floor and then reluctantly, but obediently, crawl closer to him. He watched as she leaned forward and wrapped her lips around his semi-hard cock. Her mouth was delightful and he saw his cock stiffening quickly as a result of her ministrations.
