The Instrument - Chapter Sixteen - My Promise By Big Brother Alan A mini-novel about sexual slavery, humiliation, degradation, redemption and escape "Not all of being a slave is about humiliation and degradation," Kim said. "A lot of it is about learning to trust your master. And learning to obey instantly." I expected her to lead me through some test of my trust like blindfolding me and telling me to fall backwards onto the hard floor only to find that an air mattress had been placed there. What was she getting at? She led me upstairs to her bedroom and then through to her bathroom. "Oh, this is even better," I thought. I would love to pamper her the way I pampered Jessica earlier. "I want you to trust me completely and to do everything I say. First, get into the large tub and lie down." I did. After undressing, she followed and started the shower over our heads. "I don't want you to move a muscle. I'm going to bathe you and I want you to pretend to be paralyzed. You have no control over any of your muscles. Keep your eyes closed." This was odd. What was she planning? Kim began to work me over with various scrubbing fluffs and a variety of liquid soaps. She let the water go down the drain instead of letting the tub fill. It was strange having her struggle to raise my arms and legs to wash me. She even managed to sit me up to scrub my back. Meanwhile I let my limbs be like rubber. She gently washed my ass and my penis and then she did my hair. She shaved my face and she brushed my teeth. She was so loving and tender. She seemed to be really enjoying herself. When all the soap was rinsed away she plugged the drain to let the tub fill. Then she just crouched beside me and we waited. Not a word from her but I could feel her stare even though my eyes were closed. The water filled higher and higher. I was rubber. The warm water reached my chin as the room was filled only with the sound of water spraying into the tub. The water covered my mouth. Still no signal from Kim, though she was beside me still. As the water reached my nose I took a few last deep breaths of air while I still could. One final breath and the water rose over my nose. How long would she expect me to stay under water? I felt her hands pushing me deeper into the bath water. I was running out of air and would have to exhale soon. I began to feel my heartbeat pounding, looking for more air in my empty lungs. I couldn't hold it. I exhaled and just as I did I felt Kim's mouth cover mine and she blew air into my lungs. I exhaled that breath as well and she reached down and gave me another breath. I had never felt Kim's mouth against mine before. It's strange what thoughts go through your mind at times like this. Instead of wondering at this odd exercise of obedience the only thing I could think of was the eroticism of Kim's lips touching mine. We breathed together like this for quite some time. I wasn't about to end it. To me it was more like making out. It was better. Each time her lips touched mine it sent warm tingles down my spine and legs. But I dared not reach my tongue into her mouth. She had said to be like rubber and I wasn't going to disobey her. Eventually I felt the water receding. I felt the splash of the shower hitting me. Kim continued to do my breathing for me. I felt the touch signal for me to open my eyes. I did but she had not yet released me from my rubbery state. She was angelic, hovering above me breathing life into my lungs. Finally, she took my face in her hands and kissed me. A long kiss. Instead of blowing air into my lungs I felt her tongue as it reached for mine. I felt the touch signal to tell me I could move again. I kissed her back and our tongues met. She had me stand while she dried me off - with a towel. How easily pleased by small pleasures I have become. She dried my hair but left it mussed up. She slathered various oils all over my body and led me to her bed where she laid me facedown to give me a body massage. The contrast between these two girls couldn't have been more clearly demonstrated than by today's activities. Jessica was a taker, completely unselfconscious in her demands for service and pleasure. Kim was a giver, who derived great pleasure from giving comfort to others. I felt quite guilty and almost ashamed when I awoke some time later. Kim's body massage had put me to sleep and I don't know how long I lay there. She was beside me reading a book. "Mistress, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to fall asleep." "I'm glad you did," said Kim in a low soft voice. "You needed the rest." I sat up on the edge of the bed. "Can I do anything for you Mistress?" "No. Well, yes. Go to the kitchen and pour two glasses of wine and bring them up. And on your way, knock on Jessica's door to see if she'd like one as well." What's this? I'm being offered a glass of wine? I was flabbergasted. "Slave, you're hesitancy has earned you a punishment. Kiss me right here." At that, she rolled to her side a bit and pointed to her ass. I hungrily rushed to her side and gave her butt cheek a long kiss. With punishment like this I could be a very bad boy. "Now go and do as you were told." I walked down the hall to Jessica's room and lightly knocked. "Yes?" she called. "Mistress, would you like a glass of wine or anything else from the kitchen?" "Open the door, male. I don't like to shout." Jessica was lying nude on her bed reading her book. She had her hair tied up and she had some very sexy reading glasses on - the kind a librarian might wear. God, what a beauty she was. Those glasses made her look delectable. "Mistress, I am asked to see if you'd like a glass of wine," I said as I admired the body of this woman I hated. "No, but come here." I did as I was told. She arose, approached me and slapped me across the face - hard. I didn't budge. "Go," she said. I left, closing her door behind me. I hoped her hand hurt. As I walked downstairs I wondered if this was my time to escape. My ski clothes were still on the chair by the door. I opened the cupboard and retrieved two wine glasses. Both girls were upstairs naked. I could get a head start of at least a few minutes and they wouldn't know which direction I had gone. I loosened the cork on an already opened bottle of red wine. I wouldn't even have to get dressed first. I could just grab my clothes and run, putting them on when I was some distance away. I poured the wine into the first glass. Surely, it wouldn't be that easy. I poured wine into the second glass. Surely they would have sentries or guards from their coven out there waiting for me. I replaced the cork. This whole day must be part of a test for me. I picked up the two glasses. If I run now the coven will surely kill me. I started for the stairs with the glasses in my hands. If I don't run now they will surely kill me. I paused as my foot lifted to meet the first step. I promised Kim. I can't leave because my dare is not over yet. No matter what else happens, I won't break my promise to Kim. I am her slave until tomorrow at noon. I must do as she says and nothing more. I promised. I promised.
