He woke cold, wet and shivering; the Team Mistress arrived and he was marched to the citadel with the others. She smiled with pleasure at the discomfort of the slaves through the hood of her shiny full length rubberised rain coat. Though cold and wet, the view of her from the rear as she squeaked along with her short whip in hand, gave him an erection as he imagined her naked beneath it. His fantasy ended when he was put to work. The rocks were difficult in the wet and he soon bruised hands, knees and toes as many slips occurred.
For five days he was worked, like this, and was fed very little by Clara, who had bought another male on the third day. True to her word she made Nilok watch, while the timid male did his best to satisfy the large and dominant woman; he was overcome by the presence of the formidable woman all too early. He showed his naivety by coming far too soon for her; he bucked and gasped involuntarily as he shot his mess, clenched between her enormous thighs.
She thrashed him with a cane, and then dragged him head first into her sweaty sex, nearly smothering him in her anxiety to orgasm. Nilok watched with pity; though the scene aroused him, he was not jealous of the new boy's position. The poor wretch was terrified.
Only slightly sated by a less than satisfactory orgasm, Clara lashed the slave face down on the bed, spread-eagled. She wiped the cane across her sex and left it under his nose; ensuring he knew he would be severely punished for his poor performance when she returned. She said little as she took Nilok to the cage, as the rain hammered down. She noted how weak he'd become, and this gave her great pleasure, compensating for the inefficiencies of the slave who lay whimpering on the bed. She sneered as she tossed the damp blanket at him.
"You won't be the first slave I've buried down by the wall. Good night." He had slumped in the cold and slept fitfully, the same went for the fourth and fifth night; the only thing that kept him going was the thought of a brief sight of Serena again. Though she had seen him in the cage the once, she could not have conceived he would still be there in such conditions, and with little food.
On the sixth morning he awoke sat in a pool of water and wheezed trying to catch his breath. He found he could barely stand. He was dragged up the hill, the others doing their best to support him without being seen to do so. Clara smiled when he was returned in the evening and laughed as he slumped to the floor of the cage.
"Not worth much to anyone now are you?" he did not really hear her, as his head buzzed with pain and he sweated with a temperature. He could only think of seeing her tomorrow. The collar stuck to his neck where sores had wept then congealed; he cursed the stinging sensation as he dozed and started through the night.
When the team arrived in the cold grey morning, he used all his strength to pull himself up by the bars; he knew something was wrong. As the rain lashed through the cage, he found he could not put one foot before the other; his head raged and he could not fully feel his legs. Clara whipped him with the cane as the other wretches stared pitifully at him. He felt a bubbling sensation rising from his ankles, up through his legs and torso. When it reached his neck, he found the wet stone floor coming up to meet him; the world went black.
At the citadel, Serena tried to pay attention to her would-be flautists, but was distracted by the arrival of the team. She looked anxiously for him; where was he? She ventured out at their first break and casually mentioned to the Team Mistress that they seemed to be short today. The Mistress was amazed that she was that observant, and then casually explained that one of them had probably died by now. She laughed as she remarked how she'd left him there, with Clara trying to cane some life back into him. Serena put her head in hands, she was horrified.

He felt the softness and warmth of soft fabric from the tips of his toes along the length of his body, and his head was laid on soft silk; his hand felt a soft bandage round his neck, and his nose was assailed by a sweet delicate scent. He was almost scared to open his eyes; such were his recent experiences he feared he were dead. As he regained his senses a little more and stirred, a soft hand and arm wrapped itself about him at his front, and a soft warm body clasped him from the rear.
"Bella, he's awake, he's going to be alright!" He opened his eyes and looked straight into Serena's. He had truly arrived in heaven; he considered he must be dreaming or dead. He smiled at the apparition and tried to rise, but was still very weak and the women held him firm.
Serena cuddled up to him and kissed him softly, her eyes welling up. She was naked and smelt divine; his feeble body managed a weak erection and she giggled as she felt him grow against her thigh. Bella nuzzled the back of his head and squeezed her soft body and ample breasts into his back, which aided his blood pressure tremendously. A tear ran down Serena's cheek and he licked it away.
"We thought you might die; you were so hot for around 24 hours, and then you were freezing cold, we've been in bed with you for two days." He smiled and squeezed her, almost scared to ask.
"Am I to stay with you?" She broke into a broad smile and engaged him in a long and succulent kiss, teasing him with suspense; she drew back and smiled smugly.
"Yes, I've purchased you. You are my property now and this is one of your new homes..." He used what strength he had and pulled her into another kiss before she could finish; his cock pressed hard against her softness, he was recovering by the minute. She pushed him away gasping and giggling.
"You'll not be ill-treated anymore; I have lots of jobs for to do and your main task will be to keep me safe and warm... and other tasks assisting me in my tutoring." He wondered what she meant by this, as he felt a hand come from behind his waist and caress his cock; Bella leaned over and kissed his cheek, whispering after.
"And you'll please her servants too." Serena gently cupped his balls as Bella continued to gently stroke him.
"You'll need to sleep to aid your recovery, and if you are strong enough tomorrow, I intend that you will get to know your new mistress and her housekeeper more intimately; your tongue is going to be very busy! I can see you're very excited, so we'll help you settle."
Serena picked up a silk napkin from beside the bed and made it ready for Bella's handiwork. He was still very weak, and being mothered by the two attractive women had its own erotic stimulation. He soon shuddered and gratefully spilled his hot cream for Bella, as Serena gently caressed his balls and smiled sweetly as he spoiled the napkin.
Bella kissed him and left the bed to prepare some food for later. Serena took great pleasure in softly wiping him clean, before cuddling close and closing her eyes. He held her tight, as if to ensure she would not disappear into some bad dream before he awoke. He sniffed at her flesh and hair, as she squeezed as close as she could to him.
As Serena held her new property, she could not believe Clara had let her take him for so little when she had boldly knocked on Clara's door and demanded she sell him to her. Clara was more than happy to accept what she'd paid for him herself; she couldn't see him living more than another day or so. She had a girl get Bella and her cart and had him back at her western house in 10 minutes.
Had she been just another hour he might well have never recovered. As soon as he was well enough she would take him to Maidenbower Manor, where he could fully recuperate and where they would have a little ceremony for him, before the small team of servants there.
He was nursed through the day and fed each time he woke, by Serena and the doting Bella, who spoon fed him and was very pleased as he regained his strength.
