The Virtue of Patience

Chapter 6: A Gift from a Gambler

By the third day, Patience was completely compliant with KC's demands. The girl may have been seething beneath the surface, but she quickly learned to obey and to hide any signs of anger. And she never offered any resistance.

By the third week, she had learned the routine enough to avoid most punishments. Birdie had been sold to a rich European and the mistresses eventually stopped taking out their anger on the new slave.

Jan and Jean had given Patience her sex lessons. Despite being repulsed by the idea at first, she had become accustomed to it and was now servicing mistresses whenever they felt the need. After awhile, she even grew to enjoy it. It gave her a sense of power to be able to work another woman into a frenzy. And Patience knew that it was her tongue that determined when the other woman would reach her climax.

Patience had just finished servicing KC. The mistress was leaning back in her chair as she recovered with her fingers idly combing through her pet's luxurious blonde mane. Patience was kneeling between her mistress' spread legs with her cheek resting on one thigh and her lips still pressed to KC's slick sex.

"I have a present for you today, pet," the mistress announced. Patience wasn't sure if this was good news or bad and she remained silent as she had learned. "I have some new jewelry for you." KC then fastened Patience's wrists together behind her back, as was frequently the custom when she took her pet out. Slaves generally had their hands bound, either in front or behind their backs, when they were outside the home. The only exception tended to be when they had duties that required the use of their hands. When they were inside KC's home, however, Patience was usually left unbound unless she was being punished or KC just wanted her bound for entertainment.

The two women crossed the village green where Patience had suffered so many indignations during the first few days. Today, thankfully, there were no naked bodies bound or impaled and all of the evil devices were empty.

Patience felt a chill snake down her spine as they entered Elke's house. This woman had a reputation for cruelty and, even though Patience had not experienced it first hand, she had heard enough stories to believe them to be true. The tall Nordic woman was wearing only a loin cloth when she greeted the two women at the door.

"Welcome, KC," she said giving the mistress a hug and a kiss. "And welcome to you too, little one," she went on, cupping Patience's breasts and giving her a kiss. Patience was always amazed at the sight of Mistress Elke. She had never known that beauty and strength could coexist so perfectly in a body. She knew that Elke could probably toss her across the room if she wanted. But Elke was also very beautiful, with a perfectly sculpted form.

"Let me get my things," the tall blonde said as she disappeared into another room. She reappeared moments later carrying a small leather case. "Do you want her fastened down?" asked Elke. "Or maybe blindfolded?"

"I don't think so," replied KC as she removed the cuffs. "I want her to enjoy the full experience. She knows that she will be punished if she raises a stink."

"I prefer it that way too," smiled Elke as she set the case down and opened it. "Now just hop up here and kneel like a good girl for me." Patience obediently crawled onto the padded table and knelt, crossing her wrists behind her back and thrusting her chest forward.

Elke stepped closer and reached out, feeling each breast one at a time. She manipulated and plumped them. Then she bounced each in her palm before grasping the nipples and rolling them back and forth. Patience watched as the woman did whatever she wanted to with her lovely mounds.

"Are you sure about the nipples?" asked Elke. "I could use a larger one and place it farther back."

"I know how you like that look," responded KC. "But just the nipples for today." Patience was not sure about what they were talking about but she was starting to get a pretty good idea. And she didn't like the sounds of it at all.

Elke reached over to the case and picked up a bottle with clear liquid and a dish. She poured some of the liquid into the dish and then placed a long needle into the dish, confirming Patience's suspicions and fears. Her nipples were about to be pierced!

The next fifteen minutes were almost surreal to Patience. Any normal person would have gotten up and run away. There was nothing constraining the girl and she could have done that. At least she could have tried. Instead, she watched as her left nipple was daubed with alcohol to disinfect it. Then, as the needle came closer and closer, it was as if the worlds had gone into slow motion. She felt KC's hand stroking her back to calm her as the shiny needle moved toward its target.

Elke enjoyed this kind of treat. Long ago, she had discovered that she enjoyed inflicting pain on others and she wanted this moment to last. She could have quickly pushed the needle through, but she wanted to savor the experience.

Patience watched in disbelief as the tip of the needle tented her sensitive nipple inward. The point was actually at her areola at the base of the nipple and the slave felt the pain increasing as the skin was dented more and more. Suddenly, the flesh gave way and the needle sank into the tender flesh. Patience felt its progress as she watched more and more of the needle disappear into her body. Finally, she saw the flesh on the other side bulging out slightly and, moments later, the tip of the needle reappeared.

Patience held still throughout the ordeal and only once let out a soft whimper. Elke moved efficiently after that. The needle was replaced with a large gold ring. It was over an inch in diameter and was much larger than the nipple rings that she had seen in college. It could have been larger, however. She had seen one girl on the island with hoops that must have been four or five inches in diameter through her nipples. Once the ring had been sealed shut, Elke proceeded to the second nipple. Again, she moved agonizingly slowly during the piercing to maximize the pain that she inflicted but then moved quickly to set the ring.

When Elke was finished, KC stepped in front of Patience, lifting the girl's breasts in her hands and kissing each ringed nipple. "Magnificent," said the mistress. "But I have something that will make them even more beautiful." With that, she clipped two gemstones to the rings, letting them dangle beneath the nipples. Then she helped Patience off the table and to the full-length mirror.

"Thank you, Mistress," said Patience as she looked at the gemstones. They were beautiful amethysts and each was cut into a teardrop shape. They swayed seductively with each breath that the girl took and sparkled in the daylight streaming through the window.

"You have Luke to thank for those," smiled KC. "His new master sent me those last week. Apparently, they were the first ones he mined in his new life."

For the first time since her arrival, Patience sobbed as memories of her ex-boyfriend flooded back to her and visions of him spending the rest of his days in a South American mine flickered before her eyes.
