A Year in the Life of... Chapter 6

Mistress Danni led him down a short flight of steps into the cellar and he reflected on the day he had had as he followed her, his nerves jangling, apprehensive about what was to come. He had slept quite well last night though a couple of times he had rolled onto his back and had been woken suddenly by the pain from his still stinging ass. He had thought deeply on the words Mistress Danni had said as he fell asleep and had come to a resolution. There was no way he could return to his previous life, the consequences at this time were too scary to contemplate. He also had no wish to have Ibrahim mete out any more punishment and so had determined that he would do his best to please his new Mistress. Yes, the path ahead was undoubtedly a strange one but he took her words to heart and decided that he would make the most of the opportunity he had been given though he would privately reserve the right to make choices that were of the most benefit to himself. He would serve her to the best of his ability, but he knew there were boundaries he would not cross and the final decision would be his...at least he hoped that that would be possible.

Ibrahim had woken him at seven and given him instructions to shower and dress, which he'd done quickly; he had no wish to test the big man's tolerance. Breakfast had been a quiet affair and then Ibrahim had shown him the rest of the house which included a library, an observatory and a gym to name but a few of the rooms they visited. Ibrahim had explained that he had access to all of the rooms but Mistress Danni would no doubt have plans for his education. They had partaken of a light lunch in the dining room and then Ibrahim had given him a lesson in etiquette which he found interesting and had applied himself to the task at hand which seemed to please Ibrahim. He found that he liked the way that Ibrahim treated him when he was pleased and determined that it was much nicer than when Ibrahim was displeased and so he would do his best to keep up the trend.
