About Me

Vivian stood up and addressed the concubines. “It seems our Julia enjoyed that. Why don’t you all set her free now? I have some things to attend to so I’ll leave her with her sisters for now. Miriam, I’m going to put you in charge of explaining some ground rules and giving our new girl a tour.”

A stunningly beautiful blonde girl with icy blue eyes bowed deeply to the duchess. “It would be my pleasure, Your Grace.”

Vivian turned and walked to the door, her elegant robes flowing behind her as the other girls released Julia from her bonds. Vivian put her hand on a pad on the wall next to the door. There was an audible beep and the door opened. The concubines helped Julia stand up and she looked to see Vivian step through and then turn around to address them.

“I’ll be back soon enough, my pets. Until then, make our new girl feel welcome!”

The door closed and the lock clicked. Julia felt a bit overwhelmed with all that had happened. She stared at the door, trying to collect her thoughts. Her head was practically spinning. Suddenly, Julia was startled by someone snapping their fingers in front of her face.

“Hey there, new girl! Snap out of it!”

Julia instinctively stepped back and looked over to see Miriam standing there.

“Her Grace has given me the task of orienting you so you better pay attention—I don’t like repeating myself.”

Julia felt shocked and just stood there. She noticed the other concubines were dispersing and going their separate ways, leaving just her and Miriam.

“The first thing that you had better realize is that your old life is gone. Whoever you were before, you are now just a toy and your only purpose is to serve the duke and duchess. If you’re a good girl and follow the rules and keep them happy, things will be fine. If you don’t, it will not go well for you.”

Miriam stepped forward into Julia’s space as she spoke and Julia instinctively stepped back. 

“Am I clear?”

Julia nodded slowly. Miriam stepped forward again, this time getting into Julia’s face.

“Am I clear?”

“Crystal”

“Good. Now put on that robe and follow me. Try to keep up—I haven’t got all day.”

Julia picked up the robe at which Miriam had pointed and began to put it on as Miriam turned and started walking away. Julia tried to tie the sash at the same time she was attempting to catch up to Miriam. The click-clack of Miriam’s high heals against the stone floor drew Julia forward.

“You saw the proper way to great Their Graces,” said Miriam as she walked, Julia having caught up. “On your knees, hands behind your back, eyes down. Do not move until given permission.”

Julia tried to listen and absorb every detail as they walked. Having experienced the type of punishment that could be inflicted, she did not want that again. 

“You are not allowed to leave the harem area without an escort. All commands must be followed swiftly and to the letter. Any hesitation or failure to comply will be punished swiftly and severely.”

Miriam led Julia around the harem complex. It was quite massive, probably a whole wing of the palace. There were common areas as well as more private playrooms. The dining area looked as though it could support a large feast. It occurred to Julia that she didn’t even really know how many concubines the duke and duchess had. 

Interestingly, there was a library where Miriam explained that the girls were free to check out books. There also entertainment areas where the girls were allowed to play games or do other things to amuse themselves. 

Miriam led Julia to the dormitory where there were rows of cells down each hallway. Julia didn’t have time to count the number of doors, but there were a lot. Miriam stopped in front of a door and opened it. Inside was a bed and a table and what looked like a closet. A window gave a view of the evening sky, the light of the setting sun reflecting off the buildings of the city.

“This will be your room,” said Miriam as she gestured towards the space. “As you can see, there is no lock on the door. Privacy does not exist here,” she added. Julia looked into the cell and it dawned on her that this might be her home for the foreseeable future.

“I’ll have some food sent up. We’ve already eaten and you’re probably hungry after traveling so long.”

It occurred to Julia that this was the first nice or thoughtful thing that Miriam had said to her. She couldn’t remember the last time she had had anything to eat. With all of the recent stressful events, she hadn’t really had an appetite. 

“Go wash yourself in the bathroom at the end of the hallway. You stink like a slave pen.”

Well, that didn’t last. 

Miriam turned and walked away without another word. Julia watched her go, the click-clack of her heels getting further and further away. Julia walked into her room and sat down on the bed. It was soft and comfortable. The bedclothes appeared to be fine quality. At least she would have a cozy place to sleep. 

Julia took the towel and walked to the end of the hallway. There was a large shower area with elaborately painted tiles. Very beautiful, just like everything in the palace. She disrobed and turned on the water, watching the steam rise as she adjusted the temperature. The warm water felt so relaxing and she lingered under the spray after washing herself, enjoying a moment of relaxation. She dried herself off and returned to her room. 

Julia lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling as the last light of day turned to night outside. She heard a knock at her door. She rose and opened it. Outside stood a beautiful girl with dark brown hair and eyes. Her skin was more olive than Julia’s pale complexion. She wore a sheer robe covering her lingerie. She carried a tray that held some bread and fruit and cheese as well as a bottle and a glass.

“Hi there!” she said brightly. “I’m Daniella and I brought some food for you. Can I come in?” 

Julia was disarmed by her pretty smile and cheerful demeanor. “Sure,” she replied stepping back to allow Daniella to enter. She set the tray down on the bed.

“Please eat,” said Daniella as motioned towards the tray. “May I stay and talk with you?”

This was the first time that anyone had asked Julia permission for anything. “Yes, please do,” she replied. Daniella closed the door and then sat down on the bed beside the tray. Julia sat down and began eating.

“I arrived here not that long ago myself. You must have so many questions! Feel free to ask me anything you like.”

Julia pondered as she chewed on some grapes and then a piece of bread. The bread was fresh and quite tasty, crusty on the outside and soft in the middle. The Kolosian food appeared to be excellent.

“So, what’s it like here?”

“We actually have a pretty good life. Yes, we’re slaves and we can’t leave but we actually have lots of time to ourselves and all our needs are met. It can be quite of fun playing games and things with the other girls. It can really be like a sisterhood. Of course there can be drama as well…”

Daniella smiled and snickered when she said that. Julia chuckled as well. It felt good to laugh.

“At the end of the day, we have good food to eat, a warm bed to sleep in and a roof over our heads. There are lots of people across the galaxy that wouldn’t able to say that.”

Julia pondered this as Daniella continued.

“The most important thing is to cater to our Master and Mistress. Duke Marcus is a man so he’s not that complicated and pretty straightforward to deal with. Duchess Vivian can be a bit more…mercurial. They can be really creative in the ways that they reward and punish us. They like to give us little challenges and competitions to keep things interesting. Winners get rewarded and losers get punished.”

“Right…” said Julia as she mulled things over. “So what’s with that Miriam girl?”

“Oh, her.” Daniella smiled and snickered as she rolled her eyes and shook her head. “She’s something else. She a slave like us of course, but she’s been here a while and she’s Their Grace’s favorite concubine. She knows it and she’ll make sure you know it too. She’s kind of like the unofficial leader and enforcer around here even though we’re all technically equal.”

Daniella lowered her voice and placed her hand beside her mouth. “It’s an open secret that she sometimes dominates Lady Vivian because the duke likes to watch. There’s even a rumor that she sometimes dominates the duke himself, although I doubt that. I wonder who started that rumor—probably Miriam!”

Julia was taken aback and made a face as she chewed her food. That seemed so absurd and yet there seemed to be no reason to make such a thing up.

“Do they ever…hurt you?” asked Julia softly. 

“Yeah…” said Daniella as she looked away. “The duke and especially the duchess enjoy binding and torturing us sometimes. It’s usually not that bad. Although I have had Lady Vivian whip me pretty hard. Never any permanent damage though. If you submit and do what they ask it’s usually pretty tolerable. I would recommend never hesitating or disobeying though.”

“I can imagine,” replied Julia.

“So…do you like…girls?”

Julia hesitated a moment and then nodded. Daniella smiled and seemed relieved. 

“That’s good. It will make things easier. Their Graces often like us to be…intimate with each other while they watch. All of the concubines here are perfectly free to have sex with one another at any time, actually. Our Master and Mistress actually encourage it. Fraternization with the guards is forbidden but…it happens.”

Julia turned her head and stared out of the window. She could see the stars twinkle in the night sky. How many worlds were out there? She didn’t even know. How many slaves lived on the planets that circled those distant suns? 

“Well, you should probably get some sleep,” said Daniella as Julia turned back to face her. “I’m sure that you’re tired after all that you’ve been through.

“Thank you for being kind to me,” said Julia as she reached out and touched Daniella’s hand, looking into her dark brown eyes. Daniella smiled and looked away. Julia could see her cheeks flush with emotion. 

“Have a good night and I’ll see you tomorrow,” said Daniella as she picked up the tray and walked through the door. She turned back and gave one last glance and smile to Julia before closing it behind her. 

Julia sat on the bed for a while and then slipped out of her robe. She pulled down the covers and climbed under them feeling the soft fabric against her smooth skin. She reached over to the bedside table and clicked off the light. 

As she lay alone the dark she couldn’t stop thinking about the dark-haired girl that had just been so nice to her and how beautiful she was. Julia closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep with thoughts of Daniella.

***

The next day arrived and after bathing, Julia put on her robe and walked to the common areas and the dining area. There was food available and many of the other girls were eating, chatting or simply lounging about. 

Julia didn’t see Daniella but she did recognize Miriam talking to some other girls. Julia wasn’t close enough to overhear what she was saying but she saw Miriam smile and the other girls did as well. Perhaps Miriam wasn’t a total bitch after all. Miriam noticed Julia and walked over to her. 

“Good morning, sunshine!” she said in a surprisingly pleasant tone. “Grab something to eat and them we have some things to do.”

As Julia sat and ate many of the other girls came by and introduced themselves to her. They were all polite but some perhaps a bit more stand-offish than others. All of the concubines appeared to be in their twenties. Julia got the feeling that while the other girls seemed nice enough, they were very clearly sizing her up.

Julia wondered around the grounds of the harem area. She saw girls watching shows on large screens. Sporting events, musical performances, as well as other things. One screen was turned to a news channel and she stopped to watch for a while. All the talking heads kept saying was how bad House Devon was and how great House Kolos was.

In the gaming area several girls were playing cards. Most of the concubines would smile and nod at Julia if they noticed her as she passed. 

There was a vast area of outdoor gardens filled with beautiful and exotic plants and flowers. Footpaths wound through it for leisurely strolls, punctuated by benches and fountains. All surrounded by high walls of course.

She stopped in the library and perused the stacks. There was actually a rather large collection. The books were arranged by subject and a great variety were represented. 

“Hey, there! How did you sleep?” asked Daniella. Julia’s heart fluttered with excitement when she saw her. She smiled warmly.

“Quite well actually. And you?”

“Good! Miriam is looking for you. Probably shouldn’t keep her waiting.”

Daniella offered her hand. Julia once again felt a rush of excitement as she took it. Daniella led her back to one of the common areas. It felt really good to be holding Daniella’s slim fingers. 

When they found Miriam she took Julia over to a private room where a tailor measured her body and her feet. Miriam explained that Julia would need to pick out lingerie to wear to make such sure she was as attractive as possible for the duke and duchess. 

Miriam had brought some cosmetics and she and Daniella took Julia to one of the ornate bathrooms. They taught her how to apply them in the understated way that Their Graces liked. Julia was proud of herself that she was able to do a nice smokey eye. Some lightly colored lipstick and a little bit of blush made her feel pretty.

Daniella and Julia went back to the common area and started looking through a lingerie catalog. Julia was having such a good time talking to Daniella and looking at all the beautiful pieces and the models wearing them that she briefly forgot she was a sex slave. Miriam arrived a while later and reminded her of that. 

“Lord Marcus has sent for you,” she said plainly. She was carrying a heavy leather collar and a set of leather cuffs. “You are to be naked and bound, per his instructions.”

Julia looked at Miriam and then at Daniella. Daniella smiled and nodded as she stood up. “It will be okay,” she said as she gently touched Julia’s shoulder. She thought she detected just a hint of fear on Daniella’s face as she slowly stood up. 

Julia hesitated a moment and Miriam loudly cleared her throat. It was now obvious that she expected Julia to strip naked right in the middle of the common area in front of everyone. As Julia removed her robe and handed it to Daniella, she realized that this was actually probably a pretty common occurrence around here. 

Miriam stepped forward and buckled the leather collar around Julia’s neck. She attached a strap to the collar that ran down her back. Miriam buckled the cuffs onto Julia’s wrists and then pulled her hands behind her back, attaching the cuffs to the strap, one above the other. She tightened the strap, pulling Julia’s arms up the the center of her back. Her arms were now completely immobilized. Next came the ankle cuffs. Finally Miriam clipped a leather leash to the “D” ring on Julia’s collar. 

Miriam stepped forward and gave a tug on the leash. Julia looked back at Daniella as she was pulled forward. She stood motionless, an inscrutable expression on her face. Julia stumbled forward behind Miriam as she was led away.

Miriam explained as they walked that they were headed to gymnasium that was connected to the harem area. The concubines were expected to use it regularly so that they would remain attractive for their Master and Mistress. The duke liked to use the space for his sparring practice, which was what he was doing now. 

"Violence makes men excited and that often leads to an increase in other appetites," explained Miriam. "There's a reason that the brothels are always at their most full after a day of gladiatorial games in the colosseum. The duke often likes to be serviced after a sparring session."

After they had walked down the hallway a bit and were out of sight of the other girls Miriam stopped. She turned and grabbed Julia by the throat, pushing her against the wall with surprising strength. Her icy blue eyes bored into Julia's.

"Never forget that I'm the head girl here," she snarled. "If you do as I say we'll get along fine. But, if you cross me, I'll make you regret it."

Miriam's other hand cupped Julia's pussy. Julia gasped as Miriam roughly shoved her finger in. "The duke and duchess like to watch the new beta girls get passed around by us alpha girls. I'm going to make you my bitch. I hope you like getting tied up and eating pussy. If not you better start because you're going to be doing a lot of that very shortly."

Miriam removed her finger from Julia's slit and grabbed her nipple. Miriam's eyes narrowed and she grinned evilly as she twisted hard, causing Julia to wince. She released Julia's nipple and throat and then started down the hallway again, jerking Julia's leash and making her stumble forward. Julia's heart was beating fast and she could feel herself shaking. 

Shortly they made it to some large doors. Miriam pushed them open to reveal a large space. On one side were racks of weights and sporting goods. The other side was an open area with a  large mat in the center. Racks of weapons lined the walls of that side.

Standing in the center of the mat was Duke Marcus. He carried a sword in his right hand. Three guards dressed similarly and also carrying swords circled him. He pressed a button on his belt and a glittering force-field sprang up around his body. The guards did the same.

Miriam led Julia to a bench near the edge of the mat and they sat down. "Kuprash!" yelled Marcus in Kolosian as he raised his sword. The guards raised theirs and then they rushed at the duke. There was a flurry of motion as they all attacked him. The duke moved with lightning speed--dodging, parrying, counter-attacking. He was poetry in motion as he blocked, slashed and thrusted. 

It was clear that the guards were not holding back but try as they might, they could not land a solid blow on Marcus. He dodged and twisted so the blades slid off the force field that flashed whenever a blade made contact. The guards were not so lucky. Again and again he scored direct hits with his blade, each time a guard grunting in pain even as the force field flashed.

After a few minutes of this, Marcus knocked a guard's blade aside with his own and planted a huge straight kick to the guard's midsection. The man fell backwards and hit the mat, dropping his sword and doubling over, holding his belly. The other guard was on his knees holding his ribs and the third held his hand to his face where blood ran from his nose. 

"Gobro tay. Masgarat dobo kinassa longras pondar," said the duke in Kolosian as he helped his men up and patted them on the shoulder. They slowly put their swords away and left. Marcus sheathed his sword and set it on the rack. When he pressed a button on his belt the glistening force field around his body disappeared. He turned and walked towards the girls. Miriam helped Julia to her knees and then knelt herself, eyes downcast. 

"You may rise."

Miriam stood up and then helped Julia to her feet.

"Truly an impressive display, Your Grace," said Miriam as the duke removed his shirt, revealing his muscled chest and arms. His shoulders were broad and short fur covered his chest. Looking at his fine physique, his short brown hair, his dark brown eyes and his chiseled jaw, Julia was impressed with how handsome he was. She felt something stir in her loins.

Marcus came up to Miriam and brought his face to hers in a deep kiss. His arm wrapped around her waist and he bent her back slightly. Julia could hear her softly sigh. She started to feel moist between her thighs.

Marcus broke the kiss and turned to Julia. "What do we have here?"

His gaze was like a big cat eyeing it's prey. Julia felt herself blush and a warm sensation washed over her. 

"She is very beautiful, isn't she?" he said as he turned to Miriam.

"Hmmmm," was her response. Marcus smiled knowingly, having detected just a hint of jealousy.

"'Takpar echen margas' is the motto of House Kolos. It means 'might makes right'," he explained. "That's why we train so hard. Power is the most important thing in the universe. He who has power decides what's moral."

Julia looked at him, almost transfixed by his appearance and charisma. In that moment she felt as though she would willingly do anything for this man. 

"Do you know why I am the Duke of Kolos?" he asked. Julia slowly shook her head.  

"My father, the previous duke, was killed by Duke Lawrence Devon and his forces. I will not rest until every Devonian is killed or enslaved. One day I will kill his whelp of a son, Eric, and force his father to eat his entrails until I slash his throat and watch the light leave his eyes."

Julia found herself breathing heavily. Her desire was leaking out of her. She was his slave, naked and bound before him, but in that moment she wanted nothing more than for him to take her.

Marcus moved to Julia and reached out to gently cup her breast. She felt her heartbeat quicken as he fondled it. He moved in and kissed her neck, his hand sliding down her belly past her mound and his his fingers sliding between her thighs to touch her folds. She felt the goosebumps rise on her skin as his warm breath touched her neck. 

“The purpose of your mouth is to suck my cock and swallow my cum,” he whispered in her ear. “Eating and speaking are incidental.”

He stepped back and pushed down his pants, revealing his large cock that was already a bit turgid. He tossed his pants aside and sat down on a large leather bench in front of Julia and Miriam, spreading his legs apart, presenting himself. 

"It is an honor and a privilege to suck the cock of the duke," said Miriam. “You are to do your best to make him deposit his seed in your mouth. You may not spill a drop as it is the most precious substance in the world to you. You will always swallow every last bit but never without permission. Now, kneel and ask the duke if he will allow you privilege of fellating him."

Miriam helped Julia kneel and she crawled on her knees to between Marcus's legs. 

"May I please suck your cock and swallow your cum, Your Grace?"

"Yes you may."

Julia leaned down, her head moving to his groin. She opened her mouth and slowly took him inside it. She gently sucked and started to slowly move her head back and forth, feeling the head slide across her soft, warm tongue. Her saliva coated Marcus's cock as her head bobbed. She looked up and saw him looking down at her, his eyes glazed with pleasure.

"May I lick your balls, Your Grace?" asked Miriam.

"Yes you may." 

She dropped to her knees and her tongue lapped across the smooth skin of his freshly shaved scrotum. She took one of his balls into her mouth and gently sucked on it, then did the same to the other. Julia continued to fellate him. 

Julia felt her throat muscles relax and Marcus's cock slide into her throat as she moved her head back and forth. She took a deep breath and pushed her head forward, feeling his cock slide deep into her esophagus. Her nose touched the skin of his belly as she heard him moan with pleasure.

Miriam’s hands moved to the back of Julia’s head and pressed down, keeping her from pulling back. Julia began to feel hungry for air as the cock remained deep in her throat as Miriam’s hands pushed down. She gagged slightly and a slight feeling of panic rushed through her. Just as she felt as it was too much Miriam’s hands released her head. 

Julia pulled back and took in a big gasp of air. Before she could do anything else Miriam’s hands grabbed her head and slammed her back on Marcus’s cock. The head of it once again slid deep into her throat and her nose was pressed against him. The seconds ticked by as she felt Miriam’s hands hold her head down, the pressure unrelenting. She pulled against the leather cuffs pinning her arms behind her back. Her eyes started to well up as her lungs began to scream or air. She could feel herself start to choke and just as she thought that she might black out Miriam released her.

Her eyes watering, she continued to suck and bob her head up and down. Julia could hear his breathing start to quicken and she knew he must be close. She tried to suck as hard and fast as she could, letting him fuck her face. 

Then she heard him grunt and felt his cock pulsate as he shot blobs of semen into her mouth. She wasn't prepared for how much there was and a little bit dribbled out of her mouth down her chin and some hit the floor. Miriam gasped and then threw herself on the floor to lick up the drop of cum. Julia reflexively swallowed and then began to panic as she realized what she had done. 

Miriam then grabbed Julia's face and licked the semen off of her chin. She turned to Marcus, opening her mouth and displaying the bit of cum that coated her tongue.

"You may swallow," said Marcus which Miriam promptly did, showing him her empty mouth. 

"So you wasted some of my cum and you swallowed without permission," said Marcus in a stern voice as he stood up and looked down at Julia. She was paralyzed with fear. She wanted to beg forgiveness but the words would not come out.

"Take her to the dungeon," said the duke to Miriam. An evil smile stretched across Miriam's face.
