Celia shivered in response to that touch. She met Mistress' eyes in the mirror and heard the words and her heart leapt again. She giggled. "Your slut..." She repeated. Mistress moved aside and Celia steeled herself for the battle to come, knowing she must do this alone.<br/><br/><em>Slut. HER slut, She loves me. <span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 10pt;">She...</span> She loves me with all that she is!<span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 8pt;">You...</span> She LOVES me! <span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 6pt;">Loo...</span> SHE! LOVES! ME! <span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 4pt;">Path</span> I'm HER slut, and she Loves me with All that she is. <span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 2pt;">Noooooo....</span>YES!</em><br/><br/>Celia smiled and looked into her own eyes in the mirror, calmly and steadily and without shame for the first time in fifteen years.<em>I am not pathetic, I am not useless, I am a successful teacher, I am good at what I do. I have a Mistress who beats me to tears and I love it, she hurts me and I want her to, she is my Mistress and I am her slut, I love her with all that I am and she loves me the same way.</em>Nothing. No answering recriminations. Celia smiled and turned to face Mistress.<br/><br/>"I am not pathetic, I am not useless, I am a successful teacher, I am good at what I do. I have a Mistress who beats me to tears and I love it, you hurt me and I want you to, you are my Mistress and I am your slut, I love you with all that I am and you love me the same way. She is gone!" She beamed a huge smile at Mistress. "It's quiet in my head. You have no idea how wonderful that feels!" She knelt at Mistress' feet and kissed her shoes.
