Melissa offers little in response; I reassure her that I will help if she needs it and return to my room. Seems like wasted time; the girl is weak and will likely be a slave soon enough anyway.

After changing into more comfortable clothing, I wander down the back stairs to Slave Quarters... looking for a special person. Calling the male slaves out, I look for what I need. Those under 18 are dismissed; I have no need for children or the inexperienced. I further sort by those born here, the latest of many generations; these are the ones I wish. Finally, picking a strong one, I require him to follow. Searching through the women slaves takes less time; this is just for a playmate. A sweet, slight blonde caught my eye, and also accompanied me to my quarters.

I instructed the girl. "Ellen, please draw me a hot bath. The top drawer left of my trunk will have small blue packets of salts to add for fragrance and stimulation." As she busied herself, I had the male, "Derek", talk to me about the island and the castle. We chatted for a while about the tunnels while I withdrew a few items from my stash. Derek and Ellen both got touched with the catalyst, then got a whiff of yet another concoction. They would be in a wonderfully responsive state now, and open to permanent suggestion. I took care of it quickly; both would now be what amounted to my 'minions', working exclusively for me unless otherwise released.

The truly decadent bathing facilities allowed both to join me in the tub, and I then discussed their personal lives; neither was committed to a partner which would simplify matters for all. At least, for the while... until I had the choices of slaves. I thought Luisa might be a delightful ladies' maid. And Michael? Well perhaps a few weeks hanging by his thumbs. I giggled at the thought, very much un-Marigay of me.

Derek turned out to be quite "well-hung"; his pleasuring of me was delightful! Ellen turned out to enjoy only women, which just left more of Derek for me. We were playing for a while when someone came to the door; Ellen jumped out and dried herself as she answered. It was Melissa, looking for some answers. I invited her into my tub, to relax and get in some recreation.
