(These events occur in a world where legalized, non-hereditary slavery is common-place for serious crime, unredeemed debt, or voluntary self-indenture. Eighteen years of age is the minimum for anyone in this world to be enslaved or be involved in slave business operations.
If you object to the basic premises of this story, I recommend that you find something else to read.

(
Theresa Thornton's viewpoint
)
I have the best Daddy in the world. He's smart, loving, handsome, and incredibly successful, and I love him to bits. Since my mom and brother died in the pandemic, we've been even closer than before. But if he had been with me that day at the Longhorn Slave Market in Houston, I could cheerfully have kicked him in the nuts.
OK, so he's overly protective of his sole heiress, even when I'm in Colorado studying Petroleum Engineering (my choice, not his, so that I can work in his oil business when I graduate.) But, come on—I finally found ONE guy who wasn't just trying to get into my panties or my trust fund, and the great William Thornton comes up with this crazy idea to mess up my friendship. Matt was dirt poor but brilliant, kind, funny—just perfect, even if he was an overgrown nerd. (And no, just because he didn't make a pass at me didn't mean that he wasn't interested; I often caught his eyes on me when he thought I wouldn't notice.) Matt had tutored and encouraged me to get through freshman year of school with a great record. So what does Daddy do? Decide that the only way Matt can be around me in future was on a personal services contract, otherwise known as Texas Free In Name Only (FINO). The contract paid all his tuition and a considerable salary, with great opportunities for internships during the rest of our college years, so that he would be by my side the whole time. But, to ensure that I was safe (Ha!), the contract made Matt my de facto slave, at least in private, for the next four years. And Daddy told me that if Matt DIDN'T agree, he would ensure that the poor guy never got near me again. Why slavery, you may ask? My Mom (may she rest in peace) was a slave consort who married my father, creating the love of both of their lives; Daddy therefore considered bondage the best possible insurance that any guy will be completely trustworthy, loyal, helpful—the whole Boy Scout spiel.
Because this wasn't true slavery, we didn't need a court order to classify Matt as an "Extraordinary Talent" slave—in this case, an engineering tutor—which meant he didn't have to be naked and collared
in public
. Still, the Texas FINO statute required that Matt in-process and register at a licensed facility undressed like any other slave or indentured servant, and stay that way when he was in private with me.
So, the day after we finished our freshman year found both of us at the Longhorn Market. Bad enough the poor guy had to strip and kneel in front of me, which must have been humiliating since we'd never been intimate (I didn't say anything, but until that day I didn't realize how LARGE he was down there, if you know what I mean.) But now, as we went through the in-processing, the slave handler (no doubt prompted by dear old Daddy) insisted that I had to install a chastity belt and a butt plug on/in Matt's bound body. Both of us were blushing bright red. I could tell that the handler guiding us, an imposing woman named Florence, had more of the same on the "training schedule" for my study buddy, whose only crimes were being poor and my friend. I got it—I was now Matt's de facto owner and we both needed to internalize the change, but jeez . . .
The slave veterinarian stripped off her gloves, after which Florence and she released Matt from the monster gyno table—but his hands were still cuffed behind his back. The female slave handler, who was as tall as Matt and probably 30 pounds heavier, then walked us to one of the many caged enclosures at the market, where she released the handcuffs and ordered "Display."
Most of the slave block positions, aka Slave Yoga positions, are lewd and revealing, and Display was among the worst, but Matt knew better than to hesitate. On command, he turned away from the wrangler, spread his legs several feet apart, and bent down as far as he could, so that his head was between the knees and his butt was the highest point on his body. Here was a naked young guy, submissively bending over and waving his ass in the face of two fully-clothed young females—I can't imagine how horrible that was for him. And
then
Florence unclipped the rubber strap from the left side of her equipment belt, handed it to me, and stepped back several paces.
"Mizz Thornton, I gather you're friends with this boy." I nodded. "So, this is going to be hard for you, but one of the things you both need to learn is that the owner can AND WILL punish the slave as necessary. So, please, just bend your arm back and whack him a good one, right across the buttocks."
I hesitated, but finally decided to get it over with, since Matt was stuck in that position and dreading what was to come. I didn't really want to hurt him, but knew I had to put some zip into my arm to satisfy the "instructor." The strap made a horrible sound as it crossed the fleshy part of Matt's muscular behind, leaving a slightly red line. He grunted softly but held his position.
"That's almost strong enough, Ma'am—give him another one, a little harder." Whap! This time the sound was even worse, and the mark redder. I REALLY didn't like this, and Matt, who remained completely silent, must have been miserable.
"OK, not bad for the first time. Present, slave." Said the handler. Matt immediately turned back to face us and interlocked his fingers behind his head. His look of relief mirrored my own feelings.
"I know you didn't want to do that, Ma'am, but now BOTH of you know that you'll do it if you have to. Please, have a seat," she said, gesturing towards a cot bolted to the floor, where she and I both sat. "There are other ways to punish a slave, of course—you could just strap him down in his cage and leave him in "time out" for a while, but while he's restrained he can't do any work for you. Sometimes, the best thing to do is just whack him or spank him and get it over with. Just like paddling a puppy, he'll get the idea that you didn't like what he did, and avoid that behavior in future."
*****
Florence continued in the same conversational, friendly tone. "And like a puppy, he needs to learn that you can make him happy as easily as hurting him. Carrot and stick." Her voice shifted back to a command tone. "Slave, step around to your Mistress's left side and bend over her lap, face down." Just like that, Matt and I were in close bodily contact, with his bare rear end displayed across my lap. The metallic chastity cage pressed into my left thigh. As he shifted his legs to get balanced without leaning too much on me, I caught sight of the butt plug still lodged in his anus.
At Flo's urging, I gently rubbed his butt. I was trying to reduce the sting I had inflicted a minute before, but I couldn't help noticing how soft his skin felt. I must have said something to that effect under my breath because the handler responded as if I had asked a question.
"Yeah, there are some good ol' boys with skin like leather, but most men you meet have butts that are baby soft, just like women's, even though the drawers they wear are a lot rougher than panties. The difference, of course, is that guys are ALWAYS trying to feel OUR butts but they shy like crazy if anyone touches THEIR asses. See the way he's flinching?" I nodded. "So, tell us, Boy, why are guys so worried about getting touched back there?"
After a brief hesitation, Matt's muffled voice replied something to the effect of it feeling "gay."
"Gay? How can this be gay?" Florence's hand joined mine in softly rubbing all over his posterior. "I mean, you're a guy, and here you have your owner, a beautiful woman, and ANOTHER free woman playing with your naked body. That's got to be about as UN-gay as you can get, right?"
Florence chuckled, but somehow she sounded friendly rather than evil. "What you really mean, of course, is that you boys are afraid that someone will put something up your butts, right? Oh, wait—your Mistress already did that, didn't she?" She mouthed at me "wiggle it a little," so I very gently played with the plug. Matt grunted at the sensation.
"How does that feel, Boy?" The handler inquired. "Weird" was the reply.
"It's weird but not unpleasant, right?" When he didn't reply, she tapped the plug again. "No, Mistress, just weird."
She finally removed her hand and sat back. "OK, guys, I'm sorry if that made you uncomfortable. I'm trying to show you a couple of things about your new relationship. First of all, Matt—is that your name? You seem like a smart boy, so tell me, who owns your ass?"
His response was immediate, if sheepish—he really didn't want any more playing back there. "Mistress Theresa owns my ass." Flo and I giggled.
"I TOLD you he was smart!" she continued. "Ma'am, I highly recommend that you put him across your lap like this at least once a week to remind him who's in charge. If he's bad, you may have to spank him, but if he behaves himself, well, this is a way of giving him a little bit of a reward and bringing you together, 'K?"
