RELUCTANT PRESS

"This is a contract stating the terms. and conditions of your servitude to me in exchange for the money. Initial above the amounts where indicated, and sign it at the bottom."

"Without reading it, I initialed the four amounts and signed it.

He and Jacky signed as witnesses.

Then, he handed me a third document.

"This is a power of attorney that will give me complete control of all your legal affairs until four years from today. Initial it here and here and sign it there."

I initialed and signed as instructed; they witnessed my signature, and I watched as Mr. Devon put all the papers into his briefcase.

"Well, now, it's done!" he said happily. "It's now 8:30 in the morning. Four years from today at 8:30 A.M., you will be your own person again, but for now, you are all mine! From now on, you must learn to have no will of your own. You will take no initiative and simply do as you are told. I have big plans for you, my little sissy slave, but first, I want to lay out some ground rules. You must learn not to speak unless you are told to or when answering a direct question. You will address me as 'Master' for the time being and you will address Ms. Brown as 'Mistress,' as she will be taking part in the training I wish you to have. Is all this understood?"

"Yes, Master."

"Very good," he ageed. "You will have some adjusting to do when you learn what I have planned and I'll give you every chance, but I'll send you straight to prison at the first sign of disobedience or rebellion. Is that understood as well?" "Yes, Master."

"Fine," said my new Master. "Now, I have a lot I have to accomplish today, so I'll leave you in your Mistress's capable hands. Do you have today's agenda all worked out, Jacky?"
