Chapter 5

Natalie knows she has just restlessly dozed off when the feel of her Daddy’s hands removing the restraints from around her wrists immediately awakens her. “There is a palette on the floor, baby girl,” Jared says to her, “Go and get what rest you can it will be a long day.” Yes, Daddy,” Nat quickly responds. She follows him away from the cross and a the bed they part ways. Jared climbs into the king size and she goes to the mat, blanket and pillow at the foot of the bed. As she is preparing to lay down she sneaks a glance at the clock on the nightstand which reads 3:05 a.m. She then quickly lays down pulls the blanket over her and quickly falls into a tired slumber.

Adam’s alarm clock goes off at 6 a.m. He reaches over and hits the off button. He goes and brushes his teeth, puts on his swim trunks and walks out of the cottage over to the pool house. The access to the pool house is one of the perks he enjoys working as Jared’s assistant and right hand man. Reaching the pool house he punches in his access code on the keypad and pulls the door open when the green light flashes. He turns to his right and hits the lights. He takes a deep breath as he enjoys the smell of chlorine in the morning. Jared had an Olympic size pool installed here shortly after he purchased the property. The pool is kept heated year round and Adam walks over to a shower stall, gets wet, walks over to the pool and dives in. He surfaces and begins swimming the length of the pool. He completes 20 laps then jumps out of the pool and grabs a towel from the towel rack. He dries himself off and walks back to the cottage. After a shower he sets out to the main house. He enters the kitchen and immediately smells the aroma of fresh biscuits, sausage, grits and scrambled eggs. Helena hears him enter and immediately sits the baking sheet on the counter and curtseys to Adam. “Good Morning, Master Adam,” she says in her melodic voice. He enjoys the sound of her voice. She is originally from the Caribbean and though trained as a domestic by Jared he never saw a need to have her lose her accent via voice coaching/training. Submissives that he trained that were from the deep south or from France all had to lose their accents. “Everything smells wonderful, has Jared spoken with you yet?” he asked. “No, Sir – he has not – is there something wrong with the menu, Sir?” she hesitantly asks. “No, Helena , everything is fine, We are doing training today so you will not be needed to do as much today as you normally do – you will have some free time.” “Yes, Sir,” Helena quickly answers.

Jordan ’s alarm goes off at 6:15 a.m. He hits the snooze button and the alarm goes off again in 10 minutes. He threw the covers off of himself and gets out of bed to see Natalie kneeling at the appropriate place at the entrance to the bathroom. He walks over to her. “Good Morning, baby girl,” he says. He steps into the bathroom already filled with steam from the shower. Natalie follows behind him. The shower door is open so he steps in and when Natalie goes to step in behind him with the soap and washcloth he tells her he will wash himself this morning. “Yes, Daddy,” she says. She hands him the washcloth and soap to him and backs away closing the shower door. She goes to the sink and reaches into the vanity for his electric razor and shaving cream which she sits out on the vanity counter. She then removes two Dixie cups from the dispenser and puts water in one and mouthwash in the other. She then puts toothpaste on his toothbrush and lays it on the counter as well. Taking a towel off the towel rack she kneels at the shower door to await Jared’s exit. Jared knows he has thrown Nat off-balance by not having her bathe him and he also knows she is going to be more off-balance as the day progresses. Jared exits the shower and Nat immediately rises from her position and begins drying him off. “That is all for now, Nat,” Jared states. “You seem to be remembering your lessons well this morning, but as that was not the case last night, I decided that perhaps you need re-training. You are to go to the green suite. Shower and put on your training uniform. Today is Saturday so the uniform color is?” “Blue, Daddy,” Nat responds quickly. “That is correct. For your training period you will call me Sir unless otherwise specified you must earn the right to call me Daddy again. It is now 6:50 . You are to report to Vicky’s room by 7:30 .” “Yes, Sir,’ Natalie quickly states. She curtseys to him and quickly backs out the door. She shuts the bedroom door and takes a moment to lean against the wall. She takes a deep calming breath and wonders when she stepped into the twilight zone. She takes another deep cleansing breath. Then hurries down the hall to the green suite.

Jared finishes dressing and walks over to the sitting area and switches the switch that turns on the surveillance screens. He looks in Vicky’s room and sees that she is still sleeping. He looks and sees Nat just entering the green suite. He thinks to himself that took longer than it should have and makes a mental note to see what can be done so that orders are followed more quickly. He then turns on the mic to Vicky’s Room. “Rise and Shine, Slave,” he says in a booming voice. He watches as Vicky jumps then opens her eyes rubbing them and looking a bit disoriented. “You have 30 minutes to shower and get dressed. So up and at them and don’t forget the shoes.” He watches as Vicky mouths yes, Sir and jumps out of the bed. She almost falls down the stairs as she had forgotten they were there. He checks on the kitchen and see Helena is there talking to Adam. He then finishes dressing and leaves the room rubbing his hands together this is going to be an interesting day he thinks.

Jared enters the kitchen and Helena immediately curtseys to him. “Good morning, Adam and Helena.” “Hey, Jared” “Good morning, Master Jared” “Well, Adam – the plan for today is first a test for Nat. She will serve breakfast this morning with Vicky watching. Vicky will stand and observe and then it will be Vicky’s turn to serve during lunch. I need you to work with Nat on the mistakes she made during breakfast and review etiquette training with her. Then we will have them both workout for an hour. I will take Vicky and go over rules, etiquette, training schedule, etc. Lunch will be at 12:30 where Vicky will be primary with Nat as backup. We will combine the training after lunch and Vicky will be able to see a supposedly trained slave in action. Dinner will be at 7. I will have Nat serve dinner without Vicky as I have dinner guests coming and I think we would have done enough with Vicky for the day by that time. She will have the opportunity to have dinner in her room. I want you to oversee her evening workout and if she has been cooperative you can give her tv privileges. Once she is settled in her suite and it is locked if you want to join us please do but know that you are off duty at that point.” Jared then turns to Helena . “ Helena you will have a fairly easy day today just prepare the meals so the girls are able to serve them on time. As long as the meals are done the rest of the time is yours to do with as you wish. Additionally, I have noted some latent dominant tendencies in you and I know earlier in the year you requested to be considered for my dominant training program. I am considering you so perhaps some of your free time today can be used to begin reading The Loving Dominant. There are copies of the book in the library. So you may take a copy and keep it. I am waiving your fee for the program in lieu of you still being my cook. As of this moment you may address both Adam and I by our given names as equals. Helena smiled and thanked Jared. Jared walked over to her and pulls a key ring from his pocket. Grasping the silver key he unlocks and removes the silver collar from around her neck. He then reaches into his pocket and pulls out a jewelers box. He hands it to Helena . He says to her in this box is a bracelet that all my Domina trainees are required to wear. Helena opens the box and inside is a gold and diamond tennis bracelet. “Thank you, Jared. I am honored that you have accepted me in the program and I very much look forward to learning from you.,” Helena says in her melodic voice. “Don’t thank me yet,” Jared states, “the program is almost as consuming as my slave training program,” Jared says with a smile. “Well, I need to go and get the slaves – I will bring them in and introduce you to them shortly. And by the way, I know that you and Nat are friends so you may want to join the party this evening.” Helena thanks Jared and says she will. They hear the doorbell ring. “Well, that should be Curtis and Elizabeth. Adam will you get the door and entertain them until breakfast is served?” “Sure, Jared – Curtis and Elizabeth? You aren’t cutting them any slack this morning are you?” Jared smiles at Adam and says “Let the training begin.” Jared then leaves the kitchen and takes the back staircase up to the rooms. Adam begins to leave to go to the door and turns to Helena and says that since you are just starting your new training and our guests remember you as a slave you may want to avoid the dining room this morning. “Thanks for the heads up, Adam. I will do that.” Helena says with a smile. They hear the doorbell chime again and Adam leaves to go get the door.

Jared arrives at Vicky’s door and opens it. He is not surprised to see Nat kneeling at attention. Her back is straight, eyes are lowered, ankles are crossed and hands are behind her back with her left hand in her right hand. He is somewhat surprised to find Vicky sitting on the bed glaring at Nat. “Is there a problem, Vicky?” Jared states his tone voicing his displeasure. Vicky stops glaring at Nat and says, “No, Sir. There is no problem at all.” “If that is true, Vicky, and there is no problem why is Nat the only slave in this room in the appropriate position?” “Well, Sir as I told Nat I really did not see a point in kneeling forever when we did not know what time you were coming” Jared takes a deep breath and walks over to the cabinet in the corner, punches in his key code and removes the training crop. This crop is very thin and looks fragile but it has a noticeable sting when applied. It leaves nice thin welts that last a few days. He walks back over to where Vicky is sitting on the bed and he points the crop to the empty space beside Nat and says to Vicky “Go over there right now and kneel the way Nat is kneeling” Vicky jumps up and begins walking over there and giving Nat another glare she kneels and mimics Nat’s position. Jared walks over to stand in front of them. “I have guests downstairs who are here for breakfast. Nat you will serve breakfast this morning. Vicky you will watch Nat and will pay careful attention to what she does because you will serve lunch. And Vicky? Just so you know what I have in my hand right now is called the corrector and it does most of my correcting for me. I do not have the time to punish you for your insolence right now because my guests have been waiting long enough but I have not forgotten and you will be punished. Now both of you will follow me into the kitchen where I will introduce you to my cook. After that, you will come out and be introduced to my guests. Vicky since you do not seem to have common sense enough to do so without being told you will take your cue from Nat. Copy how she greets my guests and do the same. You will only speak when spoken to. Is that understood?” “Yes, Sir,” Vicky quickly responds. “Nat do you understand what is expected of you?” “Yes, Daddy,” Nat quickly responds. “How quickly they forget. What did you call me?” Jared asks his voice deceptively low. Nat’s eyes stretch wide, “ I-I-I-I meant Sir – the other just came out without my thinking, Sir. Please accept my apology,” Nat stammers. “Right-hand, now, “ Jared orders. Nat immediately holds out her right-hand and Jared strikes it 3 times in quick succession with the crop. She winces and takes a sobbing breath but does not move an inch. “Perhaps that will help you remember that simple three letter word,” Jared states. “Yes, Sir. Thank you, Sir, “Natalie responds. Her hand is still extended palm up as she has not yet received permission to lower her hand. Vicky quickly glances at Nat’s palm and is surprised to see that the skin is not broken but sees three nicely placed welts. Vicky shudders to think that could be her hand. She sincerely hopes Nat is left-handed because if not she cannot imagine her serving using that hand. “You may resume your former position, Nat” Jared says. Nat quickly returns her hand behind her back. “Ok, let’s go,” Jared says.
