- How many sales this morning?
- Seven. It's not much compared to the female merchandise, but it's still something.
- This is pathetic. Why are we wasting time with this vermin? We should put them on a cart and let the boys from the mines pick them up. At least we'd have more room for the females.
- We've already talked about it. It's better to have a stand for male slaves, even if they don't sell much. We'll still make a little more money on top of the discount we give the boys from the mines. Besides, women sell so fast that we don't have any storage problems.
Still hanging from the beam, I listen to the Mistresses speak. My muscles are on fire after a whole morning spent exposed on stage. I've only been lucky enough to be untied three times since my arrival... Three times I prostrated myself at the feet of the women who came to buy some fresh meat. The first let me lick her feet before choosing another slave... The second palmed me a little before leaving me on the floor... The third paid a tip for the right to spank me, just for fun.
At my side, the slaves come and go. The Mistress ties them up, slaps their asses, then a customer comes along, slaps their asses, chooses one, and the slave is branded on the ass. And I'm left hanging from the beam, my ass serving only to entertain the spectators. The Superior Mistress approaches me, having arrived a short while ago to take stock of the merchandise. I shudder as I feel her cruel gaze settle on my bare skin. Her whip is harder than the badines used to train us, her whip leaves permanent marks that make us unmarketable, her whip condemns us to end our lives in hell.
- Is this the one nobody wants?
- Yes, I've tried to get him to roll around on the floor to impress the customers, but it's no use.I hesitate to take him back to his cell. He's been hogging a spot since this morning and we've got a lot of specimens to get rid of.
The Superior Mistress grabs me by the hair.
- Keep your eyes down, filthy worm. You're lucky, I'd have left a whore like you to rot in the galley that carried you from the East Seas.
The Superior Mistress turns to her partner.
- That's right, he's a cocksucker from the East too?
