They had a private bath off of their bedroom and they showered, one at a time, thankful to wash off the oil that had been rubbed into their flesh and the artificial coloring that had been applied to various parts of their bodies. Tempest walked out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around her body to find a naked Elke lying on top of the bed.
"Something tells me that towel will be the most clothing you will wear for a long time," said Elke.
Tempest sat down on the edge of the bed. "This can't really be happening to us. This is a nightmare!"
Elke scooted closer and placed her palm on Tempest's back, rubbing softly to try to comfort her friend. "I agree it's a nightmare. But it's happening. As much as I hate to say it, we are just someone's property now; complete with serial numbers. I'm 0912CF."
Tempest let out a little sob. She had been trying to act so brave but the reality of the situation was finally striking her like a tsunami. "I'm 0914CF," she whimpered between sobs.
Elke sat up and scooted behind Tempest with a leg on either side of her and pulled her friend back until Tempest's back rested against her breasts. "Go ahead and cry, love. Get it out of your system. It will make you feel better."
Tempest continued to sob and Elke wrapped her arms around her, holding her and swaying her gently back and forth. Eventually the sobs died down and then ended and they just sat together silently for several minutes.
"Aren't you scared?" asked Tempest.
"I'm terrified," responded Elke. "This whole ordeal has been absolutely horrifying."
"You don't seem all that terrified," said Tempest.
"Well, I'm less terrified than I was earlier. I feel better with you. I'm sure the others must still be frightened to death." Tempest nodded and sniffled.
"And it's a little less terrifying because you know the person who bought us. That might make things a little better for us."
Again, Tempest nodded and sniffled.
"And I think that it's probably a little easier for me to make the adjustment than the rest of you."
"What do you mean?" asked Tempest, turning her head to look at Elke.
"Well," started Elke, "for one thing, I'm bisexual."
Tempest opened her eyes wide in surprise. "I never knew that. Whey didn't you tell me?"
"I never told any of you. I didn't want to scare you off. And I didn't want to risk our relationship."
"We wouldn't have been scared off," said Tempest. "You should have told us."
"Maybe," said Elke. "Anyways, tomorrow will be easier for me than for you. And for another thing, being a slave is less horrible for me than for the rest of you, probably. For years, I have had fantasies about being a slavegirl, or at least a submissive. Now I'll get to live out that fantasy whether I want to or not."
"Wow!" breathed Tempest. "I never would have guessed that. Have you ever done anything like that?"
"I've only played at it," said Elke. "And it was not very fulfilling. There was too much hesitancy. And both parties knew it could be stopped at any moment by either party. It didn't come close to my fantasies."
"I guess this is a bit closer," offered Tempest.
"Much closer," agreed Elke. "The serial number was new. And I never would have dreamed up that gag, although it was ingenious. But all of the rest of it could have come right out of the script for one of my dreams."
"Wow," repeated Tempest, unable to come up with anything more intelligent.
Elke scooted back and laid back down on the bed. She grabbed Tempest's wrist and tugged. "Come lie with me."
Tempest let herself be pulled down onto the bed and then she scooted around until they lay on their sides, facing one another.
Elke leaned forward and kissed Tempest on the lips, causing Tempest to tense. "Relax, love. You will have to do that and a lot more in the morning."
Tempest nodded slowly and did not resist at all when Elke kissed her a second time, feeling the blonde beauty's tongue licking back and forth across her lips. She tensed again as she felt Elke's fingers at the knot that held her towel in place but did not protest or resist as Elke opened it. She felt her friend scooting forward and then felt the warm soft breasts pressing against her own.
"You have no idea how long I have wanted to do this," said Elke. She ran her hand down Tempest's side and enjoyed the feel of her friend cuddling with her.
"You should have told us," repeated Tempest.
"Now I have," replied Elke. The blonde reached around and pulled Tempest closer, letting her tongue snake into Tempest's mouth. The raven haired slavegirl parted her lips and let out a soft whimper as she surrendered to Elke's tongue. "There is at least one good thing that is coming out of being a slave. I am holding the most beautiful woman in the world naked in my arms."
"Oh, El," whispered Tempest as she pressed her body tightly to Elke's. "Hold me. Hold me tight. I'm so scared."
Elke hugged Tempest and then let one hand roam down her back and down to the beautiful bottom cheeks which she squeezed lovingly. She had been planning on trying to get Tempest to make love tonight so that it was not new and shocking tomorrow but she decided against it. Tempest needed comforting right now.
