<strong>Tanya</strong><br/><br/>Tanya had been well-trained, and she knew everything that Austin expected from her. It had become routine, and she never considered leaving him or telling anyone who might disapprove. Only Paul--and now Cindy--knew the extent of Austin's control over her. He enjoyed the relationship a great deal, and she did at first as well. She still cared for him and liked the sex, but her body and self-esteem were taking their toll on her mind. She found herself envying Cindy as they kissed, cuddled and had a more soft master and slave relationship. The sounds she heard from their room was mainly moans of pleasure...whereas they would likely hear screams and crying from hers.<br/><br/>Either way, she had no intention of letting Austin down right now. Her arms and neck were bruised from last night, and had sore places all over. She also had welts on her back and ass that were deep and red...and they'd broken the skin. She was fixing dinner when she heard the door open. Leaving the ingredients be for now, she rushed into the foyer and immediately dropped to her knees. She was wearing a pretty sundress with no bra or panties, and the sundress was plenty revealing. Her red curls were loose, and they tumbled around her face as she greeted her Master.<br/><br/>"Welcome home, Master."<br/><br/>His hand on her chin made her eyes meet his, and she answered automatically.<br/><br/>"I'm your slut, Sir."<br/><br/>Then he asked about his brother, and she took a moment to think.<br/><br/>"I believe he's working on the computer in his office. And yes, Sir. It will only be a moment."<br/><br/>Giving a small smile, she waited until he was gone before rising and making her way back to the kitchen. She quickly fixed his drink the way she knew he liked it, and then finished putting the dinner in the oven quickly. Carrying the drink out to the pool, she set it on a table and then knelt on the ground by his usual chair. She did love Austin...truly she did, but she winced a bit as her chronically bruised and scraped knees fell to their normal position.
