SLAVE MANAGEMENT 101
CHAPTER 9
James decided to order in Pizza for supper. His body felt little, if any, fatigue, but he was mentally and emotionally exhausted. The day had been a grand adventure, but it had also been really stressful at times and James just wanted to relax.
James had studied the pedestrians while looking out the window, and estimated that perhaps a quarter of them were leading naked slaves up and down the sidewalk. As usual, most of the slaves were female, maybe one in ten were male. Everything looked normal. No one on the street tried to touch or harass the slaves, although the females, and some of the males, received long appraising looks. Still, James just didn't want the hassle of managing Emily in a public environment, nor did he want to deal with kenneling her.
So James decided to order delivery and kick back with a movie for the rest of the evening. It would be a treat for Emily, there was no TV in the staff dorm.
James sat in a chair that allowed him to see the TV as well as the Atlantic through the window. Now clean, but with her hair still wet from the shower, Emily walked out of the bathroom and knelt before James, "How may I serve My Lord?"
"Go see if there is anything to drink in the fridge."
"Yes, My Lord." Emily rose gracefully and went to the fridge. Emily bent over with her legs slightly apart and looked in the fridge she'd opened. After a moment Emily stood and turned to face James, "There's water, Mountain Dew, Arizona Sweet Tea and Mackeson Triple Stout in here My Lord."
"Good, bring me a tea." James held out his cup for Emily to take.
"Yes My Lord" Emily took the cup from his hand and went into the bathroom to wash it.
It wasn't long before Emily returned to James carrying a clean cup full of ice tea with the lid and metal straw James had brought along with him. "Is there anything else I can do for My Lord?"
"No Emily, I'm good for now."
There was a knock at the door and someone called out "Room Service". James looked at the door curiously and thought "
I didn't order room service
", stood up and walked to the door. He opened the door to see the lovely naked Linda kneeling with a pizza box held above her head. "Your order, Master."
James took the box from her and asked, "Why are you bringing this up to my room?"
"Delivery people aren't allowed out of the lobby, Master. So we bring whatever you order to the room. That way you don't have to go down to get it. It's part of our service. May I provide some
other
service for you while I'm here, Master?" her tone suggestive.
James could see the mischief in Linda's eyes, but he really was spent. "Not tonight Linda, maybe tomorrow."
Disappointed, Linda simply replied, "Yes, Master".
Once James closed the door, Linda was free to rise and go back to her kennel to await any future tasks, which she did.
James put the Pizza on the coffee table. That's when he realized he had not ordered food for Emily. "
How the hell did I forget that
?" he thought.
There was another knock on the door. James stood and went to open it. This time Cecilia was standing there with transparent plastic food container holding a serving of cut up chicken, and a serving of broccoli. "Good evening, sir. I noticed there wasn't anything for Emily when your order arrived, and since you hadn't left her with us for kenneling, I thought perhaps this might be helpful. It's what our house slaves were fed this evening, we always have a few extra plates for this type of situation. I hope I haven't overstepped my bounds."
As a slave, Emily was as dependent on James for a meal as dog was on its master. She had no way to feed herself and if James didn't provide for her, she would have to go hungry. Again, some masters wouldn't have given it a second thought. And again, James wouldn't let his horses go hungry, why should he let Emily go to bed on an empty stomach.
James took the tray from Cecilia, "Thank you" he grinned. "I kinda forgot to order something for her. I appreciate you bringing this up, I was thinking I'd need to order out again."
"You aren't the first owner to forget a slave's meal, and you certainly won't be the last. We try to be prepared for this type of thing."
"Well, thank you again Cecilia."
Cecilia gave James a business card with a number written on the back in girlish handwriting. With a flirt in her voice, Cecilia said, "This is my cell phone, if you decide you need my assistance with
anything
this evening, feel free to call me. And don't worry about waking me, I'm a bit of a night owl." She squinched her nose and winked at him.
