"Hi, Princess," said Kelly.
"Oh my gosh!" exclaimed Meredith, pulling away from Alana and using one arm to cradle and hide her breasts while using the other to cover her sex. "I'm so sorry Grace. I don't know what got into me."
"Nonsense," replied Grace as she crossed the room and gave Meredith a kiss on the cheek. "What are you talking about?"
"Naked," stammered Meredith. "I'm naked."
Grace smiled and then stepped in front of Meredith, grasping a wrist and drawing the protecting arms away from the redhead's body. "Of course you are. Quite naked. And quite beautiful."
"Oh god," groaned Meredith although she did not struggle against Grace's grip, a fact that did not go unnoticed by Grace. Meredith glanced at Alana looking for reassurance but only received a shrug in reply.
"There must be something about this house," commented Grace. It always seems to get beautiful women to take off their clothes." This elicited a giggle from Kelly who was seated at the table, observing the interaction.
"I should probably be going," muttered Meredith but she did not make any movement to depart.
"Nonsense," replied Grace. "Don't let us interrupt. We should be leaving if anyone should be. Should we leave?"
"No," replied Meredith softly. "You don't have to go."
"Then we'll stay. I see that you are getting acquainted with our new pet," said Grace.
Meredith's eyes flew wide open and she quickly turned her head in Alana's direction. "They're your owners?"
Alana shrugged her shoulders again and nodded. "Well, actually, Kelly is my owner." Kelly smiled brightly.
"Oh god," was all that Meredith could say. Grace took this opportunity to lower Meredith's arms, placing her hands at her sides. Meredith made no moves to cover herself and just kept them where Grace had put them.
Kelly got up and walked over to Alana, placing the collar around her neck again. "It says Alana Montcliff. Property of Kelly Dodd."
Meredith shook her head in disbelief. "We have one for you too," Grace told Meredith.
"Oh I couldn't. I'm married."
Grace smiled knowingly. "I was too, once. It never stopped me from owning girls. I don't see why it should stop you from being owned. The idea excites you, doesn't it?"
Meredith blushed deeply at the question and averted her eyes downward. Grace tucked a finger under the blushing girl's chin and tilted the head upward to look her in the eyes. "Yes, I can see that it does," observed Grace. "It excites you a lot. You yearn to be my slave. You were born to be my slave."
"I… I… I" stuttered a shocked Meredith.
"Hush, little girl," soothed Grace as she leaned forward to lightly kiss Meredith. "You don't have to answer. I'll make all of your decisions for you."
Meredith fell silent. "It can be our little secret," Grace went on. Or we can bring Ted in on it if you prefer."
"How would we do that?" asked Meredith in a voice just barely above a whisper. This response told Grace that the girl was hooked. She hadn't rebelled. She had simply asked how things would work.
"However it makes the most sense," replied Grace. She reached up and placed a palm over each of Meredith's full, ripe breasts and just rested them there as she continued. "He could be a slave or a Master. I don't know him well enough to know which is best."
"Ted a slave?" asked Meredith.
"Or a Master," nodded Grace. "If he's slave material, then the two of you can be my owned couple. If he's master material, then I can share title of you with him." Grace started moving her hand, letting her palms glide over the silken flesh of Meredith's breasts. Then, she lowered her hands and pulled a collar out of her pocket. She held it to the naked girl's neck and buckled it snugly. "It says Meredith Crandall. Property of Grace Dodd."
"Oh god," said Meredith as she shuddered.
Alana watched in awe as another woman who she had known for only a day had become enslaved right before her eyes. And there had been no resistance, no struggling, no protests. She had no idea that it was so easy to enslave someone.
Alana also felt a little bit of guilt over the whole matter. She realized that she had been used as bait to trap her neighbor. She had been given her commands by her owner and had allowed herself to be used to lure Meredith.
But Meredith did not seem to mind. She seemed to be off in some kind of dream world, so maybe this was something she really wanted. Maybe this was fulfilling one of her deep dark fantasies. Alana did think that the collar looked very erotic against Meredith's pale skin. Maybe she knew how sexy and desirable slavery made her look.
Grace continued as she let her fingers glide along the lower edge of the collar, rubbing along the tender flesh, also. "That was easy, wasn't it?" she asked in a soothing voice. "No fuss. No big decisions to make. I make all of your decisions for you now. I have lifted all of your responsibilities and burdens from your shoulders."
"You only have one decision left to make and then you will be totally free. Do we include Ted?"
"Ted," whispered Meredith.
"You don't have to decide this very instant, little one," said Grace as she attached a leash to the new collar. "Let's just relax for a bit. You can think about it."
Grace led Meredith into Alana's family room since the living room walls were still wet and all of the furniture was covered. Kelly followed with a hand on Alana's bottom, propelling her forward. The two owners sat side by side on the couch. The two slaves knelt on the floor in front of them.
"How does it feel to have a slave sister?" asked Kelly as she leaned forward to lift and hold Alana's breasts. The whole scene seemed surrealistic to Alana. She couldn't even begin to imagine what her new "slave sister" was thinking.
"It feels good, Mistress," Alana replied. Hearing the woman call the teenager 'Mistress' caught Meredith by surprise and she whipped her head around to stare at Alana with wide eyes. "I like Meredith a lot."
The four women remained like this, chatting and getting to know one another better for close to an hour. Each woman on the couch demonstrated their ownership of the women on the floor by frequently fondling breasts, caressing shoulders and kissing. It seemed to have the effect of acclimating Meredith to her new status because, after a while, she stopped blushing and tensing.
Grace talked in generalities about what would be expected of the girls. She had already decided that they would have to be part-time slaves. It would be too disruptive and costly to pluck them completely out of their current lives. And she thought it might be too unwieldy to have two slaves around the house all the time. She remembered how much work the twins had been. And even with the help of Kelly, she thought it would be too much to have two slaves all the time.
Even Kelly was going to be a handful. She was brand new to being an owner of slaves. Grace would have to take some time in training her daughter in the care and feeding of girls like Alana and Meredith. So that added to her decision to make the girls part-time slaves.
She talked about their training. When she discovered that Ted would be out of town for the next week, she announced that she would try to line up some lessons with a master she knew. This caused the two kneeling girls to glance furtively at one another.
"And then there's the question of Ted," she concluded. "You will have to decide if you want him included, pet." At that point, she was rolling the hardened nipples of Meredith back and forth between her fingers.
Meredith simply nodded.
"Yes, Mistress would be an appropriate response," said Grace as she pinched the nipples hard, eliciting a yelp out of Meredith.
"Yes Mistress," replied Meredith quickly, casting her eyes down submissively.
Grace arranged to be invited to dinner the next evening so she could get to know Ted better. She wanted to find out for herself if he was dominant of submissive.
On Sunday night, Grace walked back into her own house to find her daughter watching MTV and Alana kneeling between Kelly's legs with her face buried in her crotch.
"Definitely submissive," announced Grace. "It's still up to Meredith, but if she decides that he joins us, then I'll have my first owned couple."
