Chapter 8 - A New Dawn
Danielle barged into the room with Tara, both carrying a TV-sized cardboard box bumping into walls giggling all the way. Reaching the living room, they collapsed on the floor, laughing.
Curious about whatâs in the box, I asked them. Danielle reached inside, pulling something bubble wrapped in a plastic bag, throwing it at me. Catching it, I started to unpack then pulled out a titanium collar of exquisite craftsmanship. It felt a little heavy but extremely thin, the fine mesh fabric almost invisible to an eye. At the front was a fashionable triangle pointing down in a V-shape with a nearly invisible round plug that could be unscrewed and pulled out. A titanium D-ring could be put in its place. At the back were several vertical joining bars in various sizing, which could be independently removed to fit the collar perfectly around the neck with no gaps. I caught a tool looking like large pliers that Danielle threw me to see how it worked; it was ingenious.
The tool was designed in such a way that you would put the collar inside it at the place where it joined, then pressing on the tool, a uniquely shaped pin would push the joint down and detach a segment of a collar. The tool simultaneously served as a key. Without it, the collar could not be removed, and since it was made out of titanium, some really heavy-duty equipment would have to be brought in to force it open, which would likely injure, possibly kill the person wearing it.
Laughing at me, she said that Iâd have to get many more slaves now as the minimum order was ten thousand pieces. This was one box of many. She reached inside the box and showed me another piece. That was another example of fantastic craftmanship a little anklet chain made of titanium and a gold accent on chain links locking with a small heart like pendant with engraved coat of arms of the Duke of Warwick. I was a bit confused, then she took a folder and opened it carefully. Inside was a letter of appointment. I didnât just inherit stuff but also the title from my great uncle. There it was in plain English, Sir Charles Bailey, The Duke of Warwick, with all royal seals on the document. She bowed to me with mock gravity and said, âmy lordâ I waved my hand in mock solemnity, saying, âthatâll be allâ, and we laughed.
Finally, she turned her back to me, lifting her hair, showing me a tattoo on the back of her neck. Just below the hairline were two lions holding the shield with my coat of arms. I was hugely impressed and kissed her neck.
I wanted to think, so I took Danielle for a walk while the girls descended on the box, checking it out. When I told her to get the choker, I did it on a whim because the idea turned me on, and it still did, but many things have changed since.
