				Each of the woman's first day had gone exceedingly well. Mark had recalled the memories of those two days so many times, over the past week, that he had stopped counting. He had given Amber oral sex, knowing she could handle it on the first day. She had wanted him, and the sense he had gotten from her, told him that she needn't be inducted so slowly. <br><br>Vivianna, he had waited with. She was so tender. He feared frightening her with too much so soon. Asking her to undress had almost been enough to cause her to flee. With her over that hurtle, it would be increasingly easy for her to go around naked under his watchful gaze. It was a reality she and Amber would have to be comfortable with. They probably didn't even realize just how often they would be without clothes. <br><br>The week had passed and the time had come for the two to meet each other. The sooner they got acclimated with one another, the better it would be for them both. Mark had called each individually and now awaited their arrival. <br><br>It would be a good day. Mark was optimistic. He couldn't bet with full confidence that nothing would go wrong, but he sensed both of the women would get along - well enough. The fact they both had agreed to being with another woman had been a huge obstacle cleared. <br><br>Mark allowed himself some indulging fantasies of both naked, writhing under his ministrations. He pictured each laying out under the sun by the swimming pond. His mind kept imagining different scenarios that he would make a reality. He knew he was in a unique position to truly be able to make his fantasies come true. Few men could have hoped to have what he had gained. <br>

				After meeting Sir Mark that first day, Amber packed up some of her clothing, woman items she'll need, and other items and moved them into her room at Sir Mark's home. What she didn't have already or needed at both places, she stopped by different stores to purchase them. She spent half the week at Sir Mark's and the other half at her apartment. It took a bit to get used to setting her schedule around when he wanted her but as she said the first day, it wasn't as much as a hassle as it could have been if she worked for someone else instead of herself and renting the room with her other two "coworkers." Today was going to be another interesting day, she was going to meet the other woman. It took this long because of Vivi's schedule or that's what Amber was told.<br><br>During the week, Sir Mark worked with Amber, learning how skilled or not she was in giving hand jobs. This took her a lot longer to get used to doing since she had never given a man a hand job before.<br><br>She learned her lesson about knocking and now she made sure that she knocked on his front door instead of barging into his home. She sort of made it into a game and a way to self punish herself. After she knocked, she removed one piece of clothing and dropped it on the ground so that each time Sir Mark answered the door, Amber was missing a different piece of clothing.<br><br>During the week, she made sure that she brought one or two of her cameras to Sir Mark's home and each day she spent a hour or two wandering the property, snapping pictures of anything that caught her interest. So far she had dozens of images of the gardens, the lands around the outside, animals, and some of the dusk, dawn, or during the day.<br><br>Amber pulled her Wrangler off to the side of the drive, making room for Vivi's vehicle. After she knocked, Amber removed her shirt which left her in a skirt, her sandals, and a blue bra.

				Amber had thus far, due to scheduling, spent the most time with Mark. She had been eager to give herself to him several times during the week. Mark had taken advantage of this and had began her training. <br><br>First he had started with teaching her how to pleasure him using her hand. It was simple, though not his favorite way of gaining sexual gratification. He preferred watching them achieve pleasure then finishing himself off last. However, a hand job was a useful method for simplistic sex and the like. It could be combined with other things. <br><br>He had also punished Amber for her intrusion. She had been bound – hands behind her back with her ankles tied and connected to her wrists by length of rope. Further she was blind-folded and gagged with a ball-gag. Then placed on the floor next to him as he worked. She had not been allowed to speak. Mark had left her there for an hour. <br><br>Part of her training had consisted of learning what a safe-word was. Once she had understood it, she had been made to memorize hers – White Rose. While she had lain on the ground, Mark had kept his ear open for the muffled sound of the safe word. However, it had not been necessary, as her position was not harsh or overly complex, Nor required extreme flexibility. <br><br>Later, she had come up with her own form of 'punishment' which had amused Mark. She would knock, then strip an item of clothing and wait. When he had first seen it, he was a bit surprised. He made note of her initiative and told her he was pleased. <br><br><br>Mark arrived at the door and opened it, seeing her shirt on the ground. Leaning down, he confiscated it, and flopped it over his shoulder. “Come in Amber. Head on up to your room and remove your clothing. There is some see-through lingerie you will wear; it is on the bed. Once you are properly attired, meet me in my study.” Mark kissed her cheek then left her to do as she was told.

				"Yes, Sir Mark," was Amber's short reply after she smiled from his short quick kiss. She didn't waste time and she quickly headed upstairs to her room to find the red see through lingerie laying on the bed. Shucking off what was left of her clothing, since he's been keeping one piece of her clothing when she removed that piece of clothing. So far, Sir Mark had a pant or two, a shirt or two, one of her bras, and one of her panties. Amber quickly dressed in what he laid out and since he didn't offer any instructions about her hair or if she was supposed to put on any cosmetics, she loosed her hair from the clip that held the curls back, letting her hair tumble down her back.<br><br>Just as quickly as she entered, she left the room and met Sir Mark in his study.<br><br>She wondered what he had planned. She still wasn't to thrilled about being gagged with the ball gag but she didn't complain about it when her mouth was free from it. The bindings, on the other hand, those she was really enjoying. She was glad that she worked out, otherwise having her limbs bound like that would be more of a ache then it could have been.

				<div align="center"><strong>Name:</strong> Vivianna Lawson (http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=131094.msg5824390#msg5824390)<br><strong>Location:</strong> Mark's Front Porch<br><strong>Time:</strong> Day 2, afternoon<br><strong>Tagged:</strong> Amber<br><br>(http://i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd315/Kali_83/V62.jpg)</div><br><br>Vivianna had gotten up extra early just to go over everything she'd packed for the millionth time. She'd spent her nights after work the past week, not with friends as usual, but instead shopping for all the supplies she thought she'd need at her Master's house. Master. She had grinned at the thought. The name had gotten much easier to say in her mind.<br><br>She'd gotten out of bed, tried relaxing in the hot shower, obsessively shaved and bathed once again, brushed her teeth, drank a cup of coffee or three, brushed her teeth again... Then, of course, she'd gone over everything she'd packed. It was Friday, and a dress down day at work, but Vivi had still gone through three outfits before selecting her current one (http://i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd315/Kali_83/1-3-1.jpg). It probably wasn't quite appropriate, but she threw on a white cardigan (http://i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd315/Kali_83/2-4.jpg), and forced herself out the door. She wouldn't have left otherwise.<br><br>She'd stuffed her suitcase and cello (http://www.musiciansbuyline.com/images/cello-image.jpg) in her trunk and popped the ton of muffins she'd made the previous night in her back seat. She'd made about twice as much food as she normally made. She couldn't sleep the night before and just kept baking. Master had promised to teach her all she needed to know but she still caught herself opening a new window online to do research on several occasions throughout the week. She'd managed to refrain but that last night, the temptation had been difficult.<br><br>Her anxiety was nearly as high as it was the first meeting and her co-workers could tell. All day she'd been off in her own head day dreaming, or nervously tapping her foot, she'd even been clumsy and nearly spilled the water, trying to change the water can. She couldn't really help it. It felt as though her entire world had changed the moment her Master had accepted her. Colors were brighter, noises were softer, smells were more pungent, tastes were more decadent... She couldn't wait to be back in his arms once more! Feel those rough masculine lips on her own...<br><br>She walked now to her car, a skip in her step. She'd taken off work a couple hours early. It didn't really matter. All the lawyers and assistants were out celebrating happy hourS already. She slid into her Nissan (http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-vovUWdOWU18/TrEhtWj7H6I/AAAAAAAACzs/E9ecVHILMhw/s1600/Nissan-Maxima.jpg) and buckled up, settling down for the long drive ahead of her. She smiled softly to herself the whole way, listening to her favorite soft rock station.<br><br>When she pulled up in Master's driveway, she was almost shocked to see the other car. Then she remembered. A sinking feeling settled in her stomach as she remembered there was to be a second girl. She parked behind the other car and got out, straightening her dress. Her hands began to shake as she pulled her suitcase (http://i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd315/Kali_83/suitcase.jpg) and cello from her trunk. They were the only things she still had left from her old life. Luckily, it rolled. She slammed the trunk and locked the doors, slinging her cello (http://www.jrjuddviolins.com/images/cases/pacific_custom_cello_case.jpg) over her shoulder. Her white pumps (http://i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd315/Kali_83/pumps.jpg) clicked on the ground, in beat with her nerves, as she drug her suitcase behind her. She approached the door, cleared her throat, smoothed her hair and dress, and knocked... lightly on the door.

				<br>Mark was seated at his desk, pen in hand. His study was dark thanks to the wood interior and cherry wooden desk. A green glass hooded lamp was the primary form of lighting for the desk with an overhead light source illuminating the rest of the room. This was one of the most notable places in the house without natural lighting. It had almost a somber feel to it.<br><br>It illuminated Mark in a dramatic, solemn contrast. He didn't seem to welcoming, instead more earthy, sultry in a strong hard way. He seemed more a man that society wanted of men. While Mark had not intentionally made the lighting to do this, he didn't see any reason to change it either. <br><br>As Amber entered, Mark motioned for her to sit on the carpet next to his chair. He ignored her for many moments after he had given her his direction. Once he was finished with whatever he was doing, he stroked her head, running his fingers through her soft hair. She was very beautiful in the lingerie and her subservient position only added to it. <br><br>One thing Mark had introduced Amber too was how to sit patiently and wait for his attention. This she would do where ever he sat. There was several more levels he would teach her, but for now, she was allowed to sit on her butt and the side of her thighs. The other levels would be hold less dignity. <br><br><br>Mark heard a faint knock and looked up. He raised his brow at how quiet it had been. He bade Amber to stay and walked off to the foray. Opening the door he saw Vivianna and smiled, leaning in to kiss her on the cheek. He noted her pack. “Head on up to your room. Deposit the pack, undress, and redress in the see-thru lingerie I have placed on your bed.” <br><br>Mark walked with her to the steps then stopped. “I will wait for you here. Then you will follow me to my study.” His eyes watched her walk up the steps, studying the sway of her luscious ass. Vivianna would be an amazing creature to copulate with. Mark smiled deeply to himself.

				Amber paused in the entrance to the study, taking in the wooden paneling and the cherry desk. She has seen the room a few times over the past few days but this room still was so different from the other rooms in the house. It was darker, the lighting wasn't natural and it was supplied by the lamp on the desk and the overhead fixtures.<br><br>Her eyes took in Sir Mark, trying to pierce the gloom and shadows where he sat. He seemed like a noble even more when he was in this room because of how the room was designed and how his features were hidden due to the lighting.<br><br>She folded her legs under her, resting on her thighs and keeping her hands in a prayer position in front of her. Each time she felt his hand reach down and stroke her hair, Amber's body straightened and arched like a cat's body does when someone was petted across the cat's back. The kneeling position was the position she was still in when the sound of the light knock could be heard inside the study.<br><br>Amber sighed once Sir Mark had left, being left in the room by herself. She wanted to meet this woman but instead she was told to stay here, for now. When, and if, Sir Mark returned he would see Amber staring forward, trying to catch a peek of the other woman that agreed to submit to Sir Mark. Amber's expression of disappointment of being left behind that she felt earlier had been wiped away long before Sir Mark returned.

There he was! Her Master! She almost squealed in glee! And then he leaned in to kiss her cheek. She inhaled deeply of that ever pleasant scent and could immediately feel the moisture pool between her legs.<br><br>She could feel herself deflate slightly at his quick dismissal of her. She'd never been a very strong person and was terrible at masking her emotions. She tried her best, though. Smile still plastered to her face, she managed to straighten her shoulders and hold her head up high. She walked past him, immediately doing what she was told. She didn't speak. He hasn't asked her to. She found it odd that she automatically felt the need to wait to be commanded to speak.<br><br>Her suitcase was immensely heavy, not to mention the weight of the cello, and she wasn't exactly the strongest of women. Her face flushed a bright red, hoping to God that he nor the other woman saw just how hard she was struggling not to drop things. When she finally made it to the top stair, she turned and rolled her way to where Master claimed to be her room. Luckily she didn't see a single person along the way.<br><br>Shoulders still held high, she shut the door. Suitcase and cello plopped to the ground as she collapsed on the bed. Whew! Hopefully that would count as her first workout. She grinned to herself. She felt something slick and lacy on the comforter beneath her. She managed to roll her ass off the bed and looked down. Her eyes bulged. Master had already seen her completely naked but the other woman hadn't even seen her, period. And she hadn't seen the other woman. Was she skinnier than her? Were her breasts more proportioned than her? Was she prettier than her? Oh please don't be prettier than me!<br><br>Master hadn't told her to unpack her clothes, so he must want her to hurry right back down. Vivi frowned but rushed to the bathroom. She fanned herself and blotted her face with a nearby towel. She took off her cardigan and unzipped her dress, letting it fall to the floor. She wasn't sure where to put her clothes so she folded them and put them on the bed. It was a little quirk of hers, folding her dirty clothes. What was the point, really? She placed her shoes in a corner and was thankful for the pedicure she'd gotten earlier in the week. It was sandal season, after all. She slipped on the lingerie and made her way back to the bathroom. She fixed her hair and checked the light bit of make up she generally wore. Then she paused, really studying herself. Her large breasts stretched the lingerie to its limit but the rest fit her like a glove. This was it. This would be her first night at this man's house. This man that was now her Master. And with another woman. What would she have to do with this other woman? How would it make her feel to see this other woman with her Master? The thought made a jealous blush appear on her face. Her anxiety was creeping up and trying to take over again. Well she wouldn't let it!<br><br>She marched right out of her room and down the hall but by the time she got to the stairs, she was creeping along on her bare feet. By the time she reached the bottom and made it to his study, she was nothing more than a pair of dark eyes peeking around the corner. Her breath caught in her throat at the sight of the other woman kneeling beside her Master's desk. Holy hell, she was gorgeous! Oh Vivi could just die and sink into the floor! Of course she was skinnier, more fit, and her breasts far more proportionate. And the lingerie he had picked for her... A bold red! She could feel her cheeks quickly turning the shade of said lingerie.

				So, that was the other woman huh? Amber thought from where she was kneeling on the floor with her legs tucked under her. She peered straight ahead, looking at the doorway and the woman that peeked around the corner. Amber could see light greenish lingerie that the woman was wearing. Sir Mark probably picked that out for her, much like what he picked out and left for her in her room. Hmm, the other woman seemed to be a bit shy or not as self confident. If that was true, Amber could find ways to use that to her advantage, at least for a little while. They were practically strangers and both wanted Sir Mark's attention, so the knowledge that the other woman was shy or hesitant could be very interesting indeed.<br><br>From what else Amber could see, it looked like the woman had bigger breasts then hers and more curves, sending a wave of jealousy through her that she didn't show to Sir Mark or whats her name. It wouldn't do to show her jealousy before everyone actually met. Such straight hair and so brown or black, depending on the lighting. Now that was something that she could be really jealous of and envy. Nothing she tried over the years would keep her hair straight, so she gave up and let it curl the way it wanted. Some days she hated her curls but on other days, they were fun to twist around her finger or fingers.<br><br>A slight smile curved Amber's mouth as she thought about how it would be fun to sneak up on this woman when she was asleep and start touching her or sucking on her nipples, waking her with surprise as she felt someone "invade" her sleep. Or maybe curl up next to her and use the woman's breasts as a pillow. Either way, Amber thought that she might have to try one or both of those ideas soon but only on a night when Sir Mark gave them some freedom. Amber had much more knowledge on how to make a woman moan and wiggle then she did pleasuring a man. Sir Mark was the first man she's been with after all and he has been teaching her ways to use her hands to bring him to orgasm. Still Amber waited for Sir Mark to enter her for the first time and it still made her a bit frightened, it wasn't the same as being fucked by a sex toy.<br><br>Huh, so the frightened bunny could blush. Was it an act or was it a real reaction? Ah, it would be something to find out as they interacted more and more. With that last thought, Amber shut her eyes and counted from ten to one, trying to quell her thoughts. She normally would have started to work on a puzzle from one of her books that she left upstairs but now there was no such distraction and her mind was constantly thinking and processing. Slowly, she opened her eyes again and stared straight ahead, waiting to see if the skittish woman would actually stop peeking around the corner or step inside before Sir Mark forced her into the room.

				<br>Mark had stood in place, patiently, at the bottom of the stairs. When he saw the cute, shy Vivi come creeping along, he smiled at her behavior. She was obviously fighting to control herself. In time she would calm and become more comfortable with her new life.<br><br>Mark watched as her breasts bobbed up and down – free to 'roam the air' without constraint of a bra. As she got closer, he realized how much he had underestimated their size. The top was stretched nearly to its limit. He would have to get her looser tops. <br><br>He liked it, however. The way the material stretched around and behind the luscious flesh. It helped to showcase her round mounds. Once she made it to the bottom, Mark took her hand and lead her to his study. “You look beautiful,” he commented, giving her a pleasant smile. <br><br>The short distance to the study was spanned quickly. As Vivianna peered into the door, Mark watched for a moment, the reactions between the two felines. He had already imagined their reactions. Jealousy, the most obvious. They both wanted him. Secondly, body difference. Women were never pleased with themselves, wanting another woman's body. It appeared only natural, but Mark wasn't so convinced.<br><br>Mark would be firm in teaching them to be pleased with themselves and would be sure to squash ugly jealousy. He disliked jealousy as well. For now, however, both seemed reserved and unwilling to do or say much. Mark pulled Vivianna into the room and told Vivianna to sit on her legs, the same as Amber. The two were several feet apart. <br><br>Their master stood between them, but not in direct line of sight. “Amber, this is Vivianna. Vivianna, this is Amber.” He then waited for both to acknowledge the simple introduction. <br><br>For several moments Mark's mind got away from him as he imagined the two women in the grip of love making. Vivianna's breasts mashed against Amber's. Amber on top, riding Vivi for all she was worth. So much more flooded through his mind. Mark blinked in rapid succession until the thoughts had cleared. He refocused on the girls, waiting to see if they would react more.

				Amber smiled lightly, seeing the skittish bunny led into the room by Sir Mark. The woman looked so frightened and Amber was right, Sir Mark had to give her a nudge to stop peeking around the door. Amber's blue eyes peered at Vivi after Vivi folded her legs under her in the same position that Amber held. Amber thought that the skittish bunny wasn't used to much exercise or holding submissive positions.<br><br>Now that she could see the woman clearly, Amber gazed back at Vivi with interest and she felt her stomach quiver at how beautiful the woman was. Typical for a man, he misjudged Vivi's breast size and the top stretched over her breasts, putting them on display because of how tight the top was. She started to imagine a scene with Sir Mark inside of Vivi while Amber sucked on Vivi's breasts until they had the timid woman wiggling from the sensations of their love making.<br><br>"Hi, Vivi," Amber said after the introductions were given and she didn't wait to long to answer, knowing that Sir Mark was standing near them while he waited for them to acknowledge that he introduced them to each other. Amber fell silent after that short greeting, feeling awkward and not being sure what else to say.&nbsp;

She basked in the glow only until they had made it to the door. She now peeked inside and was subsequently pulled in. She was ashamed that he'd had to nudge her. She should have entered immediately, head held high and proud to be his slave. This only added to the warm blush already playing on her cheeks.<br><br>She walked to face the other woman and gently bent to her knees in front of her, as she was instructed by her Master. The hard floor was abrasive to her soft unblemished knees, but she sat up straight, the curve in her back exaggerated almost excruciatingly. She placed her hands lightly on her legs and stared at the floor as he introduced them. She looked up from under long lashes and the other woman was the first to respond. An angelic voice that matched her body issued forth. A whole new blush beckoned Vivi's cheeks. The woman was even more beautiful up close. Her fingers itched to reach out and stroke Amber's soft curls. Amber. A name to match the sensual image of flowing honey that came to mind as Vivi stared at this girl.<br><br>Vivi. The woman had already shortened her name like they were long lost friends. Vivi wasn't sure how she felt about that but didn't want to make waves with her. Especially not in front of her Master. Their Master, she had to correct her mind. Vivianna wasn't sure if she was supposed to shake Amber's hand, so she opted to keep them in her lap for the time being.<br><br>"Hello, Amber," she returned the greeting in a simple similar fashion. She offered a soft smile. Much like the overwhelming handsomeness of Master, Amber's beauty enchanted Vivi as well. She quickly lowered her eyes to the floor once more.

				Amber watched Vivi, seeing how much the skittish creature looked down. Vivi did it so many times that Amber was pretty sure it wasn't an act and the poor woman was such a hesitant or skittish bunny. It made Amber want to reach over and comfort the poor woman but she kept her position, she wasn't told to move. She remembered how the feeling of the floor under her legs felt and she winced a little at what Vivi must be feeling, kneeling like this next to Sir Mark, especially if the woman wasn't used to kneeling on the wooden floor.<br><br>Amber noticed the tightening of Vivi's expression and body language when Amber greeted her, using a short version of Vivi's name. Seeing those signals made Amber wonder what she said or did that caused Vivi to react that way. Since the rabbit didn't say anything, Amber noted it and she planned to ask about it later.<br><br>"Hi again, Vivianna," Amber greeted a second time, keeping her answer short until she knew what Sir Mark wanted from them. Were they allowed to talk to each other? Did he want them to sit here in silence? Were they allowed to even look at each other? What were they supposed to DO?!

				Mark watched as both greeted each demurely. There was little excitement nor energy involved. Vivianna's head drooped, her eyes only gave eye contact for brief moments. She was just as shy with Amber as she was Mark. He took note of this. <em>That will need to change... or perhaps</em>, he thought, <em>it might be fun</em>. He would have to think on it. If it was to be taken advantage of, he would need to do so before it wore off. Eventually she would lose that shy timidness. <br><br>For now, however, it was to be expected. This wasn't exactly a comfortable environment, not yet anyways. They would become more comfortable later. Time would sooth their tenuous nerves and calm the mind. Their bodies would relax and their behavior would begin to flow like sweet dripping honey. <br><br>“Now that you know each others names, follow me and you can get to know each other a little bit.” Mark extended his hands, one to each of them, and helped them rise from the floor. He then led them from his study and down the hall into another small room. It had a large couch in the center, with several bookcases of old hard cover books lining the walls. Mark liked to recline on the couch, at times, while reading. In this case, however, it would suit the three of them perfectly. <br><br>"This is my personal reading room. We might be in here together at times. However, if I am in here alone, be sure to gently knock before coming in. I don't like being interrupted while I read." He looked at both, waiting for their reply before continuing. <br><br>He motioned them to the black cloth couch, and had them seat themselves. The material was very soft and breathable. The room had a lot of light, unlike his study, as Mark preferred to read in a bright room; it was a lot less straining on the eyes to boot. <br><br>Mark placed Vivianna on his right and Amber on his left; placing an arm over their shoulders. Once comfortable, Mark began the Q&amp;A. “Amber, tell Vivianna about yourself. First off, what do you do for work?” He looked to Amber, then Vivianna, his hand gently pushing for the shy woman to look over him to Amber.

				Amber took his hand and rose to her feet with his help, heading to where he wanted to take Vivianna and her. "I understand, Sir Mark. Don't enter this room without knocking," she answered, hearing about his words about this room. She sure learned her mistake about entering anywhere that was his without knocking but she was going to keep doing her self-punishment until next week.<br><br>She sat down on the couch, relaxing a little since it was more comfortable then the floor but she didn't relax to much, just enough to be happy. Amber's gaze turned to the right, looking at Sir Mark and Vivianna. Even though she was resting on the couch, she pulled her feet up off the floor and tucked them under her.<br><br>She started off by answering his question, giving her an opening to start talking. "I work with two others. I'm give massages, one of the others does the same, and the other is a chiropractor. We all pay for our building together, sharing the space and sharing the cost of the place. So, that's about it for what I do for a living. <br><br>"As for some hobbies or interests, I'm addicted to reading and I'll read anything but sometimes I get fixated on a topic or subject and it becomes an obsession until I find a new topic or subject. The last time that happened, I spent over a month learning how to speak a new language. I wasn't fluent in it by the time I was done but I could at least speak it without sounding like a fool. <br><br>"I'm majorly addicted to any type of puzzles or games, they help me battle my compulsive disorder and they distract my mind. Cards game are great when there's someone else to play with but Solitaire works when I'm by myself, if I'm not working on a puzzle book or doing a jigsaw puzzle or any other puzzle or game that caught my interest. <br><br>"I hate cooking because I burn everything but once I spent a week trying to cook but the firemen finally told me that if they were called again they were going to stop responding. So now I eat a lot of take out or I make sure I have fresh fruit and vegetables, which I don't have to cook to eat. The only real concern I always have to watch out for is my allergy to dairy, I react so badly to dairy that it could kill me because my throat swells, which stops me from being able to breath.<br><br>"I love taking photos and I always have a camera around somewhere, and there's one up in my room here already and I've gotten a few nice photos of Sir Mark's gardens, or the animals and plants that are nearby. I don't really do much else beyond those hobbies. <br><br>"I've always been introverted, so I've kept to myself most of the time and found ways to amuse myself without worrying about what others think or how they feel about what I enjoy doing. I think that's what has helped me be so self assured but then again, others tell me that I can be a bit bossy, pushy, or rude because they feel that self assurance causes them to be uncomfortable.<br><br>"For musical tastes, I adore classical, instrumental, or anything that is soothing. Anything else tends to give me a headache, especially if the music is loud or piercing.<br>&nbsp;<br>"My parents are still alive and together and I talk to both of them every week. I have no siblings or other family except for my parents. I've told both of them that I've formed a new relationship with someone, but I didn't go into to much details. They don't need to know what I've agreed to here but they can tell that it's made me happy and they were a happy that I'm not alone after breaking up with my last girlfriend.<br><br>"Yes, I've only dated two different woman. So, being here with Sir Mark is different for me and it's going to take some time to get used to being with a man. While I was with them, it didn't dawn on me that I was submissive but thinking back on those relationships, I did tend to let them take the lead so to speak or we came to agreements after discussing what we wanted to do, if we going out to different venues, etc. But I willing to learn what Sir Mark wants instead of discussing everything and so far I can't complain, agreeing to be here has been interesting and Sir Mark has been patient with me. <br><br>"I don't know if I have a lot of fetishes or what else I like that is sexual. I do know that having my neck stimulated really sets me off and the back of my knees. Beyond those two places, the obvious places that all woman have also get me turned on. I've always fantasized about being taken captive and my captor had his or her way with me. Yea, many woman like those bodice rippers where the heroine is taken captive by a pirate, or a evil warlord, or someone like that.<br><br>"Oh yea, I have a pet ferret named Betsy, but right now my parents are taking care of her because I haven't gotten around to asking if Sir Mark wanted animals running around his home. I guess that's everything."

She walked in silence, struggling a bit with her inner emotions. She was so shy right now that she wished she could run up the stairs and hide under the bed. Or maybe in her car while it was driving on the way home... She kept her eyes fixed to the ground as she walked. However, she was a bit ashamed of her shyness, not wanting her timidity to give an edge to be taken advantage of. She tried in vain to hold her head high and her shoulders back, as she'd been taught at finishing school, in hopes of looking a bit more confidant.<br><br>"Yes, Master," her voice barely above a whisper as she answered his command to not disturb without first knocking. She settled on the couch next to her Master, on her knees with her hands resting in her lap. A similar position to the one she'd held in his office. With a little coaxing, Vivi's eyes eventually made it up to the woman sitting opposite her.<br><br>Vivi listened while the woman talked. She had to admit that she did love the sound of Amber's voice. She was glad to hear that Amber enjoyed reading and relaxed slightly, hearing right off the bat that they had something in common. Vivi frowned a bit as the woman talked about her lack of cooking skills, but perked up, almost grinning at the comment about music. Then she heard the bit about Amber's past girlfriends. So this woman was already bisexual in nature. Was Vivi bisexual? She wasn't even certain she was sexual! That was a lie. One look at her Master and parts deep inside of her let her know just how sexual she really was. However, she'd never even thought about being with a woman before.<br><br>She stared a bit more at the woman as she listed her fantasies. Sure, she found Amber attractive. But who wouldn't? Such an incredibly beautiful woman... Nibbling that soft creamy neck or licking the back of those sculpted knees, Amber's body writhing in pleasure... Goodness! Where had that thought come from? Vivi's cheeks burned as she now stared a hole through the couch cushion in front of her.<br><br>She waited a few moments after Amber spoke. She wanted to make sure she was completely finished. She also didn't know if she had permission to respond. It just seemed like the right thing to do to wait for permission to speak... Once again this struck her as such an odd but natural notion. Finally, her Master had to prod her to answer the woman that had just spilled her life at Vivi's feet.<br><br>"I-I like to read too," Vivi began softly. Well how's that for a first impression? Now Amber probably thinks you're a helmet short of special! Quick! Say something else! Something not stupid... Vivi cleared her throat before trying again.<br><br>"I also play the cello and sing," this time her voice was slightly louder. "You mentioned liking music. Maybe I could play for you sometime? Oh! And I could cook for you as well! Cooking is one of my passions!" Now she was getting a bit excited but stopped suddenly and mentally scolded herself for presuming that her Master wouldn't mind her cooking in his glorious kitchen. She flinched and stole a glance at his face. She continued, her voice a bit softer.<br><br>"As for work, I'm a secretary at a small law firm. And I like to volunteer on the weekends as often as I can." She looked down at her hands, the fingers entwining and fiddling. She wasn't sure what else to say. Her feet were starting to become slightly numb from falling asleep. The thought of walking and then collapsing suddenly horrified her and she shifted her position a bit to the side, hoping to relax her legs a bit.<br><br>"If I have any free time left after that, I really enjoy just being outside. I love to hike and just be around nature. I'm not sure what else to say." Vivi looked up with large brown eyes at her Master, hoping he was satisfied with her answers.

				It was a little enduring and cute, seeing how much Sir Mark had to prod the skittish bunny to even speak up and start to give some details about herself. Amber tried to stop her grin, seeing Vivianna stammer out that she liked to read but Amber couldn't control her amusement. She found Vivianna's actions just so.... entertaining.<br><br>She listened though, letting the woman speak and not interrupting. She was afraid if she did interrupt, Vivianna wouldn't continue the conversation. She could see the passion that Vivi had towards cooking and her music and it looked like Vivi really enjoyed those things. When Vivi fell silent, Amber flicked her eyes towards Sir Mark, not being sure if she should ask some questions but he did tell them to talk, so.... if he had a problem with what she was about to do, he could stop her.<br><br>"What types of books do like to read?" Amber asked, trying to get the bunny to answer. "And it would be wonderful if you wanted to cook for me. It would be better then the take out that I'm used to eating. Having you play or sing would be just as wonderful. If your singing is as good as your voice, I think it would be fantastic to hear. Where do you volunteer and what do you do there?" Amber knew enough not to ask to much about what went on at the law firm, it wasn't really her business and she understood the rules that are set up about not asking about clients, cases, and stuff like that.&nbsp; &nbsp;

				<br>The exchanging was going smoothly, aside from Mark having had to prod Vivianna to speak up. He had given her a warm smile; full of comforting command. Most people felt comfortable in the capable hands of another who knew how to get things done. Mark exuded that feeling. Neither of them would feel like Mark didn't know what he was doing. Quite to the contrary. <br><br>Amber's bit of Q&amp;A was straight forward and Mark hoped it might create a quick bond between them. He didn't want them bickering. If they got along from the beginning, all the better. It would foster a quicker adaption to their new lives – instead of either dreading the thought of seeing each other. He wanted them to be friends. The thought of them giggling and playing together, was a wonderful thought.<br><br>As far as he was concerned, he could tell already that both were heavily infatuated with him. They swooned and all but moaned under his influence. In time he would strengthen that feeling, making it true and less vulnerable to degradation. <br><br>For now, he kept quiet, and waited to see if Vivianna would need another prod to get her to answer Amber's questions.

She'd built her new life around not letting other people's opinion matter to her. And yet, it did. A small part of her stomach actually did a delighted flip hearing Amber's compliments. Maybe it wasn't all an act and Amber really did want to get to know her. Thoughts of being friends with this woman entered her head, thoughts she hadn't entertained before now. And why hadn't she entertained them? This woman had done nothing to her. She didn't threaten her relationship with her Master, either, for he had been clear that he had chosen both of them. And it didn't matter what Vivi thought of herself compared to the other girl; it only mattered what Master thought. There was no need to be jealous.<br><br>While she still couldn't completely shake the threatened or jealousy feelings, this new idea made her feel slightly better. While her back still stayed rigid, maintaining that delicious curve, her shoulders relaxed a bit. She brought her big brown eyes back to Ambers, such a beautiful blue! Vivi was afraid she might drown in them. The red of her lingerie only enhanced the brightness of her eyes and the beauty of her golden skin. Oh, she wanted to reach out and stroke that golden skin to see if it felt as soft as it looked. But she wouldn't dare make a move without Master telling her to. She wouldn't be bold enough to do it on her own anyway. Instead, Vivi just listened while Amber asked her questions.<br><br>"Thank you for the compliments," Vivi began. A genuine smile appeared on her face. She was used to working very hard for not much effort or praise. It's one of the reasons she had so many friends and volunteered so often. Her efforts didn't usually go so unnoticed in either of those situations.<br><br>"Well I do love fantasy books. They are a great escape from reality. And I've recently developed a taste for crime mystery novels while working in the office," Vivi broke off to grin a moment. The lawyers she worked for didn't handle cases as intricate as the ones she read about but they liked to act as though they did. It made for a particularly humorous day in the office after she'd been up all night reading one of her crime novels. She liked to play theme music in her head as she watched her coworkers walk around with such supreme airs of importance. This is the thought she recollected now.<br><br>"As for volunteering, I work a few places. I volunteer in various soup kitchens every Sunday. I alternate Saturdays with Home for the Innocents and the Shelter for Abused Women. I also participate in various clothing drives and whenever the Habitat for Humanity has a job in our area." Vivi couldn't help but felt guilty for skipping her volunteering this weekend but she just couldn't go one more day without seeing this man again. Maybe she could make up for it during the week next week. Maybe she could volunteer a few nights. Yes, that's what she would do.<br><br>"What do you like to read?" In a ridiculously bold move, Vivi actually asked a question of the other woman without waiting for permission. She bit her bottom lip and flinched, looking up at her Master. When he didn't scold her, she relaxed a bit. "What kind of games do you like? I don't know a thing about cards. Maybe you could teach me?" Vivi looked up with a hopeful smile. "Oh, and I'd love to see your pictures as well!"<br><br>She wanted to ask about the other woman's relationships with the women but Vivi didn't feel comfortable enough to ask that, yet. She'd had a gay best friend but she didn't know very many bisexual women or lesbians. Or if she did, she was oblivious. Then again, Vivi had a knack for being oblivious to things.

				Amber continued to sit with her legs tucked under her, shifting softly from time to time when she started to feel pins and needles to help keep her blood flowing and her muscles from tightening up further. She couldn't help but watch Sir Mark as he sat quietly, letting Vivianna and her talk and ask questions and her gaze shifted away from Sir Mark each time Vivianna started to answer again and Amber gave the woman her full attention. She figured if she didn't, it would look like she was ignoring the skittish woman and it would be rude if she looked like she was ignoring Vivianna. Of course, she wasn't interested in ignoring Vivianna anyway, she was enjoying how Vivianna's movements made the tight top she wear shift or push against her large breasts or show off her nipples. It was getting harder and harder to ignore how much Amber wanted to explore those breasts, she always found those more of an interest then any other parts of a woman's body. <br><br><em>"Gods</em>," Amber thought, watching Vivianna relax her shoulders and keep her back rigid. <em>"If she keeps doing that, this is going to be a test of my self control!"</em><br><br>"I have a large collection of fantasy. A lot of it is urban fantasy but I have dozens of traditional fantasy. I collect a lot because as I said, I get obsessed and have days or weeks when I read the same types of books until I switch to a knew obsession. Mysteries though... those I hardly read because I tend to know how the story is going to go by the time the first or second chapters, and then it's hard for me to finish them because they tend to end the way I expected. My favorites though, if I had to pick. I'd say science, psychology, anything to do with new knowledge about our bodies, genes, and stuff like that. It's things most people wouldn't read for pleasure but it helps me in my job and it helps me understand people. History is another passion, because I feel that what happened in the past effects our present and our future. Really though, I'll read anything and sometimes my fits of obsession takes me to strange areas."<br><br>Amber was amazed, hearing at how much time Vivianna spent volunteering and how active she was over the weekend. It told her that Vivianna seemed to have a warm heart and that Vivianna tried to help make things better for people. Maybe she needed to feel that way after working for the law firm all week? That had to be a place that wasn't interested in trying to help people to much. If you can't pay, you don't get a lawyer. It wasn't like Vivianna worked for the government lawyers or the like. At least, Amber didn't think so.<br><br>"That's amazing!" Amber answered, her tone filled with surprise. "I can hear the passion you have for volunteering and it's a noble thing to do."<br><br>"My favorite card games are poker and euchre. Well, besides the many version of solitaire. I think I fell in love with games when my parents bought me my first children's version of Old Maid. Mahjong is another of my favorites and I had a old client send me a set of the tile game from China. All the tiles are made out of ivory and they are hand painted. Monopoly and Scrabble are two of my favorite boards games and I'm a killer Scrabble player. I'd gladly teach you, if you want me to. I don't mind showing my pictures either. I tend to think they're not any good but then, I only take them for my pleasure and no one else, so does it matter if they are not professional?" <br><br>"You're welcome, Bunny." Amber winced, realizing to late that she said the nick name she had been mentally calling Vivianna. "Oh fuck. I'm sorry, you're just so skittish and I keep thinking of you as a frightened bunny."

				A laugh burst out from Mark's lips as Amber blurted out the nickname; then in rapid fire succession, proceeded to try and explain her blunder. Mark couldn't help but grin at her mistake. If Vivianna was displeased, Mark would have some 'fun' with Amber. If Vivianna was okay with it, Mark would still have some 'fun'. The thought only made his grin deepen. <br><br>Part of him would never admit it, but he wanted either of them to mess up. Punishment was fun. Of course his kind of punishment would be vanilla compared to the hardcore bdsm freaks. Regardless, it wouldn't be exactly fun for the girls. They would certainly know what it was and why they were getting it. Then again, depending on the infraction and his mood, they might get a little pleasure out of it. <br><br>"Bunny? Hmm," Mark pretended to think about it, toying with Amber. His fingers tapped rhythmically upon her shoulder. He wanted her to squirm and his demeanor shifted accordingly. "Vivianna dear, what do you think? Demeaning? Affectionate? A simple mistake on her part?" While Mark reserved final judgement for himself, he was obviously allowing Vivianna some input on the matter. His eyes told Vivianna to think on it and to not let her kindness pass it off. If it offended her, he wanted her to be strong enough to say so.

She quickly closed it and looked down as Amber stammered to explain herself. Vivi's face was now a deep mauve color and it was spreading to her chest. She was mortified! Well? This is exactly what she is talking about! This very damn behavior, V!<br><br>Her Master laughed. LAUGHED! She wanted to crawl in a hole and die! She couldn't look at either of them right now. And then he was speaking to her.<br><br>Vivi visibly shrank from the situation and stared, once more slack jawed, between both of them. What was going on? Was Amber actually going to be punished? Oh no! Because of her? You can't! She wanted to shout. She opened her mouth to defend the girl, but caught Master's eyes. He wanted her to be honest and the thought of lying to him made her feel physically sick. She put a hand to her stomach while she mulled over the situation. She clearly needed to think a bit more on this before she answered.<br><br>What exactly <em>were</em> her feelings on the nickname? Why had she had that particular reaction? She wanted so badly to make a good impression. In the moment she'd felt that Amber was making fun of her, judging her the way her parents had so often, the way a boss or zealous church member does. But had she really? They had just been connecting and people that connect don't immediately insult each other. Right? No, but they <em>do</em> joke with each other. Maybe it was a joke? So now she was the butt of a joke?<br><br>Wait, what was she doing? She was getting ready to sentence someone to punishment for being judgmental when it took judging on her part to come to such a conclusion. How hypocritical was that? No, this girl with the beautiful hair that Vivi wanted desperately to run fingers through, deserved more than that. The blush had been fading from Vivi's chest and now it was leaving her face. A soft pinkness remained. She stared up at her Master and answered him honestly.<br><br>"Well I <em>am</em> skittish. If the shoe fits..." She managed a soft grin. "I don't think she meant it to be offensive so, therefore, I am not offended. I appreciate you asking my opinion, Master." Those large brown eyes shifted back to her hands in her lap, his own eyes were far too intense to hold.

				<div align="center">(http://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/1/11/AmberCropped.jpg)</div><br>Now you've done it, Amber thought as she watched Vivi's mouth drop open and a blush spread through Vivi's face and chest. First you enter someone's house without being invited and now you called someone you just met a name that could be insulting. Way to make an impression. <br><br>Her wince turned into a deeper wince when Sir Mark burst out in laughter and as Amber watched Vivi's reaction, or at least the ones that Vivi's body was showing. The girl's thoughts must be all over the place, and it showed a little as Vivi looked away or shrank away or finally looked back at Sir Mark.<br><br>Amber looked away, feeling Sir Mark's fingers on her shoulder, tapping a beat. A soft sigh pushed out of her mouth, knowing that she was probably going to be in trouble for sure now. This time it couldn't be something that he would let her get away with, the two woman had to get along or at least seemed to and now her actions has gotten her in trouble again.<br><br>She waited, wondering what was going to happen and then.... Vivi answered in a way that made Amber look at Vivi in surprise and amazement. Vivi was letting it go? Seriously? Huh, it seems Vivi has more courage than she was showing towards Sir Mark. Once V looked down at her hands, turning her brown eyes away, Amber could think again instead of falling into those wide brown eyes. Amber's blue eyes turned to Sir Mark, waiting for his answer since he had the last word and with her serious gaze, she showed that she was willing to take any punishment even if Vivi said she wasn't offended and that Amber shouldn't be punished.<br><br>The only sound that came from Amber, at least until she knew where this was going to go, was the slither of her hair over her back and the red top as she looked back and forth at Sir Mark and Vivi. Sure, she was mortified but Amber was committed to trying to make this work and she would apologize if that's what she needed to do, or, again, she was do anything to fix this error.

				The long silent breach bridging the gap between his eyes and her reaction, was full of emotion and tell-tale signs. Vivianna had almost passed off the situation as he had thought she would. Her personality was too kind and shy; people like that rarely defended themselves. Part of why he wanted her to think it through, was to help her grow and become a stronger more confident woman. Not every situation could be so easily forgiven. Sometimes action or punishment was necessary to wholly resolve an issue properly and healthily. <br><br>Mark knew women well enough to know that if Vivianna hadn't thought it through, that the comment might have festered and grown into a grudge not easily mended. By squelching it now, Mark hoped to set the situation right. <br><br>Vivianna's answer was different than he had expected. She managed a little witty self deprecating remark and that was that. Mark was silent for a moment longer, then nodded to her. "Very well. I shall not hear of you holding a grudge in the future," he said warning Vivianna, "or it will be you who is in trouble."<br><br>His gaze then shifted to Amber. "Best pick your nicknames a little more carefully next time." Mark's tone was neutral, with a hint of a smile. Something in his gaze and demeanor, however, told Amber that he was not through with her yet. She might have been imagining it, but maybe not. She didn't know Mark very well.

Struggled! And she struggled because of Vivi. What she'd said to Vivi and her Master's reaction to that comment. Something about that warmed Vivi's heart and threatened to bring tears to her eyes. Vivi's friends were wonderful and kind-hearted people but something she'd realized over her years living on her own is that people don't normally tend to give much weight to the things they say. Even when they apologize, they either don't really understand what they've done wrong or they just want to get the original fight out of the way. Amber seemed truly sorry, and over something as trivial as a nickname.<br><br>Before she could stop herself, Vivi reached for Amber's hand. It was a bold move, very uncharacteristic for her, but much like the move she'd made that first day with her Master. She felt this overpowering need to touch this other woman in some sort of comforting way. When skin made contact with skin, Vivi's heart skipped a beat and her stomach did somersaults. The creamy smoothness of that sun kissed hand was such a promise for more that Vivi was momentarily lost rubbing her thumb in a small comforting circle over the back of Amber's hand.<br><br>That's about the time she realized she'd touched the girl without permission from either of them. Vivi's eyes widened and a gasp escaped her lips. She quickly withdrew her hand and winced, shutting her eyes tightly.<br><br>"I'm sorry. I just meant to comfort her..."

If she didn't know better Amber though that maybe the gesture might have led to something more or that Vivi was flirting with her. However, so far Amber only thought Vivi was trying to be comforting and if the gesture was more than that, Amber would be surprised. Amber's hand was soft because of all the oils that have seeped into her skin from doing massages, making her skin softer than most people's.<br><br>A soft sigh came from her when Vivi pulled back. The feeling of having something and then it being taken away made her a bit sad, which was why she sighed. She looked at Vivi and gave the other woman a weak smile in gratitude, both for the gesture, the strength to actually overcome her fears and touch Amber, and for Vivi's words to Sir Mark.

				Both girls had done things without much thought put behind the actions. Neither action was severe, although Amber's nickname could have had lingering consequences. Mark realized from these two situations, that he would need to lay down some ground rules. He had hoped for a more natural flowing style, but their newness to this lifestyle made that ideal less than perfect for the time being. <br><br>Mark gave Vivianna a calming smile then looked to Amber. “You both may touch and interact without my permission. Unless I say so, you may assume it is permissible. I want you two to grow in a relationship just as I expect of you with me. This lifestyle will not work unless you both are comfortable with each other. If this does not happen, inevitably, one of you will leave no matter how much you like me.”<br><br>His strong arms pulled them in a little closer. “It is good to ask me questions about things. However, I do want this relationship to be natural. Things happen. Don't automatically assume you did wrong. I will let you know if you did something. I also expect both of you, “ Mark gave Vivianna an extra long look, “to let each other know if you don't like something.”<br><br>“Do understand that punishment may be due if either of you breach one of my rules.” Mark did not sugar coat it. It would be an important part of his style of mastering them. As far as he knew, it was an integral part in bdsm itself. <br><br>“Do you understand all I have said?” His blue eyes gazed to each in turn, expecting a verbal or somatic confirmation. <br><br>

The weight of her Master's arm, oh so secure, pulling her closer. Vivi just wanted to sink into him. She wanted to roll around in his comfort and warmth. She closed her eyes and breathed deeply. At first she could just smell her Master's masculine musk, but a deeper breath brought about something sweeter and more feminine. She felt the warmth and then the pricks against her skin, that electricity that comes from intensity. Vivi felt the touch of Amber's hand. That warm soft hand. Vivi's sex and been pulsating slowly since she'd slipped on the lingerie, but now it increased to more of a thrum.

Once the girl was bound by her wrists, Amber would start to explore that curvy body by touching every inch of it until Vivi was moaning.<br><br><em>Where did that come from?

				Vivianna was braving the 'tumultuous' waters that was Mark. It brought a grin to his face. He looked down to the timid girl and stroked her shoulder softly. There would be time later for tales of his life. Since he was the boss, he could withhold things about himself. Nothing about this situation would be entirely fair. They both had probably figured that out by now, at least partially. <br><br>"For now, that remains to myself." <br><br>Amber then made a nice suggestion. Mark nodded in agreement. "Why don't you two pretty ladies go and get to know one another better. I'll come up in awhile to check on you both." Mark stood and held out both of his hands to the young women. He gave each hand a kiss then waited for them to leave. His eyes bathed in their tightly clad figures as they walked away - giving their sauntering asses a lingering stare. <br><br>Mark proceeded to his study and sat down, adjusting himself, then reached over for the holo-phone. It had the capability for audio and or visual. It had long ago repleaced digital phones. While many people still liked the anonymity of older style audio phones, many people preferred to see who they were talking too. For this particular chat, Mark decided on both. He tapped in the numbers on the floating blue-green holo pad, and waited. A man appeared on the projection and smiled. <em>"Hello Mark."</em><br><br>"David." Mark greeted. David noticed a slight smirk Mark hadn't hid. <br><em>"Something to tell us? Hey Emily, come here. Mark on the holo."</em> After a moment, a beautiful young woman appeared before Mark as she walked into the sensors range. She had red hair and green eyes. Her hair color complimented David's dark brown hair nicely. <br><em>"Hello Mark."</em><br>"Emily. Yes, I do have something. My ad was successful." Before Mark could say more, both of them grinned. Emily almost giggled.<br><em>"Two pets. How delightful. I can't wait to meet them!"</em> The image of David nodding in agreement to what Emily had said, blurred slightly as the projector adjusted for interference. Mark chuckled a little at their reactions.<em> "So when can we come?"</em> Asked Emily.<br>"Later. I have some ideas for you both first."<br><br>

She wondered what Vivi must be thinking after politely being told that asking questions about Sir Mark wasn't allowed at this time. The poor woman, all she wanted was some information or to try to ask some things to get closer to this guy who was still a stranger to them even though Amber has been with him for a week longer then Vivi.<br><br>"Alright, Sir Mark," Amber answered, taking his hand and allowing him to pull her to her feet. She bent down, kissing the back of his hand like she was in the presence of royalty and it reinforced her thoughts of how much she kept thinking of him as a knight or someone that was noble. Amber reached over, taking Vivi's hand and leading her out of the room once Vivi had gotten to her feet and gave Sir Mark's hand the kiss that he seemed to want.<br><br>"So, Bunny," Amber said as they walked away, heading up to Vivi's room or at least the wing that they were given as "theirs." "Tell me, what drove you to answer his ad? I'm curious but if you don't want to tell me, that's alright and I won't be offended." Amber had learned her lesson about barging into places and she waited for Vivi to invite her into V's room.<br><br>"Let's get your stuff put away and than we'll get to know each other more without being so nervous around each other since we can relax a bit because Sir Mark isn't here."

As Amber leaned over and stared up at her, the sound of Master's voice was the only thing that kept her grounded... Master's voice! Vivi blinked and looked up at him. He'd denied her request to ask more about his life and she suddenly felt very ashamed for having asked something so personal of this man she now worshiped. She blinked again and looked down. That is, until he gave a kiss to her hand. Oh how she wanted to take those lips with her own. There were many things she wanted to do to his body with her lips... A slight blush sprouted on her cheeks.<br><br>She watched as Amber knelt in front of him and kissed his hand. Was she supposed to do that? Scrambling to copy Amber's actions, assuming it was protocol, Vivi got down on her knees on the floor. She looked up at the man before her. She took his hand into her and lightly pressed her plump lips against the back of his hand, lingering slightly longer than necessary.<br><br>With her hand in Ambers, she followed the beauty from the room, with a glance or two back at her Master. As they walked and Amber asked her question, V could feel the blush spreading on her cheeks. This was a question she'd wrestled with quite a bit herself. Why <em>had</em> she answered this ad? Vivi swallowed and cleared her throat, taking a deep breath, trying to figure out how to answer.<br><br>"I really don't know," V said at last. "To be honest I was a bit disgusted at first," she glanced at the other woman, "no offense." She bit her lower lip. "I'm starting to think that maybe disgust is the normal human go to response for things they don't understand and have been taught to dislike. I'm pretty sure my parents would be appalled right now." The corner of Vivi's mouth twitched in amusement at the thought. "I believe curiosity drove me here more than anything. But need kept me here." Her cheeks were on fire right now but it felt pretty good to be able to talk about this with someone else. She just hadn't felt comfortable sharing this experience with her friends at home. As of this morning, they thought she was home sick in bed. Since she'd left her parents home, Vivianna had vowed to never lie again and not five years later and she'd told a pretty big whopper this morning. She'd let it slide, feeling it had been imperative.<br><br>She walked on into her room, not bothering to invite Amber in. She just assumed Amber would follow. She continued talking to her as she walked to her suitcase and unfastened it. "Why, exactly, did you respond to the ad?" She took a few clothes out and turned to put them away. Seeing Amber at the door, she stopped. "Oh! Please come in. You're welcome here any time." V gave a warm smile that would light up the darkest of rooms. Being away from her Master did seem to relax her a bit.

				<div align="center">(http://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/1/11/AmberCropped.jpg)</div><br>"Disgusted?" Amber asked as they walked together, "and do not worry, I'm not insulted." She listened, hearing Bunny talk about how her parents would be appalled and that curiosity brought Bunny here and how need kept her from leaving. Amber thought about her own reasons for answering the ad as she heard V's answer, plus she thought about how different her own parents are. She had already talked to them about what she had decided and they seemed fine with her decision, as long as she was safe and wasn't going to be hurt. Besides, how bad could she shock them again? That had already happened the first time she introduced Gwen to them as her girlfriend. This time they were teasing her that she had decided to explore a relationship with a man.<br><br>"I don't know what to say about hearing that your parents would be appalled at being here with Sir Mark and me. I can't relate to having parents that aren't supportive. Sure, I've shocked mine a time or two but they've always been supportive of my decisions and we love each other very much. Every week I look forward to calling them up on the holo and talking with them as they fill me in on what they did during the week and me doing the same about my week."<br><br>"Thank you," Amber answered. She couldn't help but smile back at V, seeing the woman's wide welcoming smile and that V was a little more at ease. "It's your room and I was respecting your privacy but I'm happy that I'm welcome here anytime. The same rule is for my room, you're invited there anytime. Why did I answer the ad? Much like you, I wanted to satisfy my curiosity and the way it was worded drew me, making me want to answer and see what it would be like to be a submissive for a male. I realize now that I had that role with my two girlfriends and now I get to be that for Sir Mark."<br><br>Amber thought about the relationships that were being formed in this house and between the three of them. Should she say anything to Bunny about how she was feeling like she was taking the mediator role between Bunny and Sir Mark? Or that she so wanted to teach V what it's like to be with a woman who was interested in dominating her the same way that Sir Mark was doing to them? Would it be to much for Bunny? Having two people control her? Of course, Amber's interest was mostly in only dominating V in the bedroom, she didn't have any interest in displacing Sir Mark's influence over them, which means that he was the one that runs their day to day affairs.<br><br>"Is there anything I can help put away? Just tell me what you want my help with and where to put them and I'm your girl. I admit though, this is the first serious relationship that I've been in where I'm aware that I'm a submissive. It took me meeting Sir Mark to realize that I was submitting to my girlfriends even if they weren't into kinky things. What I'm saying is that Sir Mark has made me realize that I like to submit to people, it's just part of my personality."

A bit of longing passed through her as Amber spoke of her relationship with her parents. How she wanted to have parents that were that supportive! Instead of expressing that longing, however, she'd sucked it up and invited Amber into her room. Her smile lasted through Amber's invitation, even brightened. And then she mentioned serving "Sir Mark." The jealousy washed over her in a wave. She could serve him just fine on her own! She didn't need any help. And what kind of name was that anyway, Sir Mark?<br><br>The smile faded from her lips and her eyes bulged. She mentally slapped herself. What is wrong with me? This woman is a genuine sweetheart... with a hell of a fantastic body! She bit her lower lip and whirled around to hang up the clothes in her arm as she continued to listen to Amber speak. She went back and forth from suitcase (http://i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd315/Kali_83/suitcase.jpg) to closet as she listened. This woman had been nothing but nice to her. And oh but she could still feel the warmth of that soft hand on top of her own. She wanted that hand back. She wanted that hand placed on other parts of her body, rubbing, caressing, up and down... And the blush was back.<br><br>Oh! She was talking to her. Asking her questions! What had she said? Amber had realized submission was just part of her personality. A laugh caught in Vivi's throat as she turned to look at Amber, her eyes full of sparkle.<br><br>"Oh I don't have a submissive personality at all..." V shook her head and held up the three finger girl scout salute. "Honest." She maintained composure for all of four seconds before cracking a wide grin.<br><br>"If you wouldn't mind grabbing that small bag there with my sheet music in it, I'd like to set up my cello in the study." Vivi lugged the cello case (http://www.jrjuddviolins.com/images/cases/pacific_custom_cello_case.jpg) off the ground and headed for the study.

Still, it was interesting to watch the smiles or the blush or the other ways that Vivi might or might not be aware of as she reacted to what she was hearing or thinking.<br><br>Amber's soft laugh was amused as she peered at Vivi with a expression of humor at Vivi's joke about not being submissive. "Truly? I'm not so sure about that. Honest," she answered back, changing her tone to match Vivi's and to show that she was amused and being humorous.<br><br>"Sure, I can do that." She grabbed the case of sheet music that was pointed out to her, following Vivi towards the study. Amber watched, making sure that Vivi didn't trip or harm herself as she carried the heavy instrument case. If it looked like Vivi was going to have a problem, Amber was close enough to try to catch either Vivi or the case. "Would you play for me once you're set up?"

At Amber's question, V's heart skipped a beat and then soared! This beautiful woman wanted to hear <em>her</em> play! Oh yes yes yes was her answer! She was glad she walked in front of Amber so the glowing grin would remain unnoticed. However, that extra bounce in her step might likely give her away.<br><br>"I would be delighted to, M'am!" M'am? Vivianna furrowed her brow. What was up with that? "Amber," she corrected herself, hoping the indiscretion had gone unnoticed. Or better yet, be written off as a friendly quip?<br><br>Upon entering the study, V went quickly to work setting up her cello (http://www.musiciansbuyline.com/images/cello-image.jpg). It took her mere minutes to have it positioned correctly in its stand. She motioned for Amber to have a seat as she, herself, sat behind the cello. She wrapped her legs around the big instrument and took a moment to relish in the feel of the soft polished wood against her bare thighs. Why had she never thought to play in the nude before? Her sex already began a low vibration in excitement and she extended herself a bit further than normal in her seat so that she might brush up against the stand. That simple contact sent shivers up her spine.<br><br>Vivianna closed her eyes and took a couple deep breaths. She let everything float away as she sat, one with her cello. Her bow raised, a mere extension of her arm, she brushed the strings to begin. From the core of her being, she played one of her favorite pieces. Bach's "Prelude." She immediately felt the vibrations hum through her being and touch her core. She rocked as she played, swaying to the music, her eyes ever closed. This song always consumed her on a much deeper level. The sweet tendrils of music caressed her soul with a much more mournful note than was probably ever intended. It felt as though there was just something missing, something off, something making it melancholy before the rainbow. It felt so much like her own life. Maybe her life <em>had</em> been a prelude. A bittersweet prelude to the completeness fast approaching.<br><br>A single tear slid down her cheek as she finished. She took a deep breath, savoring the silence, a moment before opening her eyes. She looked to Amber, signifying she was finished, and awaited the lovely woman's response.<br><br><div align="center">[HQ] Yo-Yo Ma Plays Prelude of Bach's Cello Suite No.1 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wKEgAn7bLgk#)</div>

"Ma'am," Amber repeated after she stopped walking for a moment, overcome with surprise. "I guess I'm not the only one who has come up with new names for all of us or who is using honorifics." Amber figured that Vivi might be blushing from that statement, so she let the subject drop but she didn't forget to talk to Bunny about the slip of tongue at a later time.<br><br>Amber handed over the case of sheet music and sat down in the chair that Vivi indicated. Amber folded her hands in front of her waist and stretched out her legs while she rested the back of her head on the top of the chair. She looked completely relaxed and that was how she was feeling, at least right now. She watched as Vivi become entranced with the music, and maybe a bit more. Amber saw that Vivi closed her eyes as she played and the woman's breathing changed to a slower beat that matched the speed that she played, and Vivi's body moved with the music. It was so exotic to watch and Amber barely held herself from moving from the chair and ending the private session.<br><br>"Beautiful," Amber answered as Vivi opened her eyes and found Amber resting on the floor almost right in front of Vivi. Amber had been silent as she stood and moved to where she was sitting with her legs crossed. Was she talking about the music? The woman in front of her? Or both? "I wonder, what sounds of music would you make if I played you like you play your cello? I also wonder if you would want to find out?"

				With the click of the phone, Mark decided he would check on his little kittens. They were cute and timid just like a curious tiny ball of fur. His lips curled at the comparison his mind had summoned from the mists that was the brains thought process. It never ceased to amaze him. The mind was a mysterious thing. He wondered if its numerous mysteries would ever be fully explored and understood. <br><br>As he neared the staircase, the sound of music drifted down. The melody was beautiful. He smiled. It was a cello; Vivianna was playing. This was pleasant but surprising. He hadn't pegged Vivianna as being confident enough to have the courage to play so soon. Obviously it was something she enjoyed deeply and enough to have the courage. <br><br>Ascending the stairs was quiet as the music masked his steps. He approached the room the two resided in and leaned against the wall and peered in. He decided not to disturb them and instead observe their interactions. He enjoyed just watching. Mark had experimented in his past with a strip club. It was mildly erotic but not really his style. He had always imagined a striptease being for him and not for a crowd or for money. When Vivianna and Amber did it, it would be for him. They would enjoy it as well.<br><br>After the beautiful music ended, Mark continued to be quiet. Amber's bold comment made Mark smile. He wondered how long it would take one of them to come onto the other. Now, would Vivianna accept the come on? Mark honestly hoped so. While he could understand if Vivianna didn't, he certainly wanted to watch the show. Voyeurism was just so damn hot.

They <em>were</em> both sitting around in barely there lingerie. But somehow she was startled. Was it because she didn't believe this woman would actually want her? Vivi's cheeks pinkened. She didn't know how to respond to Amber's question. Instead, she followed her own desires and reached a hand out to caress Amber's silky smooth cheek. A soft smile of delight played about her lips as she studied Amber's eyes for any sign of pleasure or displeasure.

Amber waited to see what Vivi would do or what decision the woman was going to make about what Amber had asked her. Amber's blue eyes focused on Vivi, holding steady even though Amber wanted to take in all of Vivi's curves or lick the bare skin that peeked out from the clothing that Vivi was barely staying inside of.<br><br>Keeping the same steady gaze, Amber watched Vivi reach out and touch Amber's cheek. The touch of Vivi's fingers brought a much weaker red to Amber's cheeks, mostly because of the heat and desire that Amber was feeling and how much she wanted to show Vivi what it would be like to be with a woman that was already starting to have feelings of friendship with the woman that has replied to Sir Mark's ad. <br><br>Amber reached up and cupped her hand around Vivi's before Amber's fingers started to glide over the back of Vivi's hand and along Vivi's forearm. "I take it that my question about if you want me to play you has been answered, yes?" Amber's other hand reached up and clasped Vivi's other hand, slowly pulling Vivi out of the chair and lying Vivi along and on top of Amber. "Touch me, Bunny. I love being touched and after you have your fill of touching me is when I'll return the pleasure and touch you until you make your own special music."&nbsp;

Part of her, the part raised by the Christian values of her parents, screamed at the wrongness of this situation. But every other part of her, her brain, her heart screamed for her to continue, especially the pulsating that had begun down below. And on the way down, the pulsating won out.<br><br>Her knees hit the floor and a tiny gasp was emitted from her lips as she looked down upon the woman beneath her. Amber's dark curls framed the beautiful sun kissed skin of her face. All of that was framed by the dark red carpet, accentuating Amber's features ever more dramatically. Vivi was momentarily breathless at the beauty of this other woman and all thoughts of her Master were lost for the time being.<br><br>Without even thinking, she reached out with a shaky hand and trailed her finger tips down the other woman starting from her cheek, then her neck, the side of her breast - a perfect size for her hand, thumb brushing her nipple beneath the bright red fabric, down the luscious curve where abdomen met hip. She wasn't sure what to do with this beautiful creature. She wanted Vivi to touch her, but how? What if she crossed a boundary? Were there boundaries? Vivi's questions were getting in the way.<br><br>She looked once more at the Goddess below her and suddenly the questions vanished. What was left was the burning need to explore. The need was so great that it overwhelmed any fears that Vivi had. She leaned over Amber, her soft dark brown hair brushing against Amber, as she took those plush lips with her own plump ones in a fiery kiss more passionate than she'd ever experienced. She was hungry and need consumed her. The intensity of Vivi's eyes blazed with desire as she raised up and attempted to pull the lingerie from Amber's body.

				<div align="center">(http://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/1/11/AmberCropped.jpg)</div><br>Amber felt Bunny tense as Amber started to pull the skittish girl out of the chair. Amber's hands stilled over Vivi's hands and she looked at Vivi, allowing the girl to have a few moments to process what Amber was doing or allowing Vivi to pull away if that was what she needed to do. Amber wasn't ready to push Vivi into something that V wasn't ready for, plus they really belonged to Sir Mark now and neither of them could forget that they were his and anything that happened between the two women was because of Sir Mark and their agreements with him.<br><br>Amber's hands held onto V's forearm and hand, guiding Vivi forward once it looked like Bunny had gotten past her fright or whatever had made her tense. A small quick smile formed on Amber's lips but she grew concerned when she heard V gasp as the girl's knees hit the carpet. "Sorry, sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you," Amber quickly said, even if she hadn't hurt the girl but if she did, she wanted V to know that it wasn't on purpose.<br><br>Her eyes moved with V's movements, following the path that V's fingers reached out and started to touch. Amber couldn't stop the soft gasp that escaped her at feeling V's touch on her neck and that gasp was followed with a stronger one as she watched Vivi's hand cup Amber's breast. All of a sudden Amber thought that something had clicked in Bunny's thoughts since Vivi actually looked down at Amber without really acting so skittish or frightened.<br><br>Before Amber could say or do anything, Vivi leaned over and the feel of Vivi's brown hair swishing over the skin that wasn't covered by the revealing lingerie felt so good. Amber's gasp cut off before she could finish it as Vivi's lips were pressed to hers in a passionate kiss that took Amber by surprise. Still, she was pleased since Vivi took the initiative to kiss her.<br><br>Amber reached up and dug her hand into Vivi's hair while Amber's other hand sneaked under the tight top and rubbed over Vivi's back. As Amber did her own touching, she showed Vivi that she desired Vivi and that the kiss was welcome. Amber's lips greeted Vivi's with the same passion but from time to time, Amber kissed the sides of Vivi's neck in the same places that Vivi touched.<br><br>She wasn't going to push the poor skittish girl to far, there would be plenty of time for that as they learned more about what Sir Mark wanted from them and as they learned more about the roles the two of them had with each other. Plus, Amber was working out a plan to introducing Bunny to the pleasures that women could give to each other.<br><br>When they needed to take a break from the kisses, Amber released the grip she had on Vivi's hair and instead her hand ran up and down Vivi's hair from base to crown while Amber kept up the movement of her hand over Vivi's back. "You can touch me anywhere but I'm not sure if we should remove our clothes since we might not have Sir Mark's permission."

She looked mortified at the presumptuous nature of the idea that Amber wouldn't mind being stripped. What had she been thinking? That's just it! She <em>hadn't</em> been thinking! She'd just wanted. Wanted to view this woman in all her purist glory. Wanted to feel that silky soft flesh between her fingers, against her own naked flesh. Wanted to taste every inch of that gorgeous body. <br><br>But Amber was right, she had to think of her Master's wants first. She'd never experienced such hunger before. Ever since that day in her Master's garden, when he'd told her to bare herself to him and had accepted her fully as his own, she'd been seeing the world in a completely different light. Oddly she felt more free being owned by her Master than she did living inside her own head. Free to see. Free to feel. Free to enjoy. She was only now understanding this realization. It hit her with such a rush! She was free to experience things! And if she screwed up, her Master would catch her. He'd punish her. He'd take care of her. She was safe and secure here.<br><br>Vivi looked down at the woman below her and merely nodded, an odd but absolutely serene smile splayed on her face. She touched Amber's face even more gently this time. A look of wonder spread across Vivi's face. She ran her fingertips over the surface of the other woman's lingerie, thumbs playing with the hard beaded nipples beneath. For the first time during this encounter, Vivi let herself feel her own body's reactions. The wetness that had pooled around her core, the hardness of her own nipples against the beige cloth, the goosebumps left from the trail of Amber's sweet kisses. It was all so glorious.<br><br>Down Vivi's fingertips trailed. Down, down Amber's soft body, caressing and lingering on every nook and crevice. Was Amber as wet as she was? Curious and very eager, though still timid enough to be gentle, Vivi's fingers inched toward Amber's sex, finding and stroking it.

				<div align="center">(http://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/1/11/AmberCropped.jpg)</div><br>Amber released a quick sigh of relief, she hadn't upset Bunny with her words that they should stay clothed until they were sure that Sir Mark wouldn't punish them for removing what he told them to wear. If they were alone, she would have let V peel the clothing from her but they had to think about their agreements and who they belonged to. <br><br>She returned V's smile with a wide happy one of her own, showing that she was glad that her words hadn't caused the woman to back off or become upset. Amber shivered a little from the touch against her face and she ran her hands through V's hair or over V's back as Bunny lay on top of her. Amber smiled again, seeing the wonder that crossed Vivi's face. Rising her head up from the floor from time to time, Amber kissed at the skin that was close to her, tasting Vivi's skin. Stretching downward, Amber softly touched Vivi's lower back and explored what was under the beige cloth that covered Vivi's ass.<br><br>Amber shivered again, feeling V's fingers start to move lower. They touched her stomach, making her nipples push even further against her top as they beaded and throbbed from all the touch. Then she felt V's fingers moving towards Amber's sex. Amber shivered longer and softly moaned, knowing that her sex had been growing wet even while she watched V play the cello and now, she probably had a wet spot on the panties that she dressed in when Sir Mark laid them out on the bed.<br><br>It wouldn't take long for her to have an orgasm if V started touching her down there. Sir Mark hadn't told them that they couldn't have sex with each other, so Amber didn't say a word about what was happening, plus she wanted to watch Vivi's reactions as Bunny's touch made Amber feel so good and brought her such pleasure. Maybe it would help Bunny gain some strength, knowing that Amber wanted such beautiful woman to give her a release.<br><br>"Good Bunny, keep touching me. Explore me. I'm yours to play with," Amber said, letting her head drop back to the floor and stroking her hands up and down V's back, through V's hair, or touching V's shoulders, face, neck, breasts, or other parts of her upper body.

Vivi shivered atop Amber, the kisses and touch of her hands sending little electric jolts up Vivi's spine.<br><br>As she stroked those lower lips, she could feel the wetness pooled there. V yearned to taste that wetness. It was curious that she'd never thought about that before. She brought her fingers to her lips and licked. She'd been staring into Amber's eyes but now her eyes fluttered close, as if she'd just tasted chocolate for the first time. It was salty, yet sweet, and she wanted more.<br><br>She resisted the urge to rip Amber's panties from her body. Instead, the formally shy girl slowly reached a hand inside those brilliantly red panties. At first she just massaged the mound on top, making sure this was alright with Amber. She did tell her to explore. Then slowly she crept toward the slit between Amber's legs. She began to stroke the outer lips with her fingers, barely grazing the inner folds, trying to build Amber up. She played with Amber's nipples with the other hand, rubbing and flicking them. Slowly she added the third finger, rubbing over top of Amber's clit, stroking it gently at first, feathery caresses.<br><br>After a few moments, Vivi's third finger found Amber's opening and plunged inside. It was warm and velvety and Vivi let out a moan of pleasure. She repositioned her hand so that she could rub Amber's clit with her thumb, yet still pump in and out of her with her fingers.

Watching Vivi reach down to wet her fingers and lick the wetness from her fingers almost made Amber have her release. She found what Vivi was doing so erotic and it had been awhile since she had sex or even been with a woman. Now she had the best of both worlds, a man and woman that wanted her.<br><br>Amber wasn't stopping Vivi from exploring and when she noticed Bunny looking at her for permission to continue, Amber smiled at her and said in a soft tone, "Go ahead. Explore me."<br><br>For awhile that was all Amber could say as she felt V's hand reach down further and start to touch her folds or touch her breasts, causing the red clothing to become more of a hindrance but she wondered if Sir Mark would be mad at them if he found them without clothing? Amber shivered below Vivi when Bunny flicked at Amber's nipples and Amber gasped in pleasure.<br><br>Vivi's finger touched Amber's clit, bringing a louder gasp from her and a deeper shiver as her hands tightened in Vivi's hair or stilled over the skin that Amber was touching. Amber shivered even more when V positioned her hand over Amber's clit and three of V's fingers sunk into her. Now Amber couldn't hold back and it didn't take long before she softly cried out in release from how much V was exploring and touching her.

Vivi's plump hips began rocking with pumping of her fingers and Amber's shivers.<br><br>When Amber came, Vivi moaned deeply in her throat, working her fingers inside the other woman. The velvety walls contracting around her fingers and coating her in the other woman's cum sent Vivi to whole new levels of arousal. Her body was thrust forward and propped up only by a hand near Amber's head. She withdrew her hand from Amber's sex and very slowly licked each finger clean. That same salty and sweetness was emphasized, but now there was a hint of spice added. Vivi's eyes closed and she leaned her head back in delight. When she opened her eyes, she was staring directly into Amber's eyes and grinning as if she'd just been the one to release instead of the other woman.

She moaned some more as V's fingers touched her or continued to heighten Amber's arousal and how much she was enjoying having such a beautiful woman laying on top of her. Plus Amber was thrilled that V felt less restrained and that V seemed to be not as self conscious about what the two of them were doing with each other.<br><br>Hearing V moan, Amber matched the sound with another of her own. Seeing V licked her fingers clean of Amber's wetness almost brought on another orgasm and added to how aroused Amber was already. She turned her head, for a few moments, and licked at the arm and wrist that was planted next to her head, tasting V's skin and learning how soft it was. She gazed back up at V as Bunny opened her eyes and returned V's grin with a well satisfied smile of her own.<br><br>"Maybe I was wrong.... it looks like you managed to play me instead of me playing you," Amber teased, her tone playful so that she didn't frighten Bunny. "You did well though," she added, giving the woman a compliment to show that she was serious and that she was very happy that Bunny seemed to stretch her boundaries or that V overcame some of her worries.
