By the time the ladies rejoined us, the Doctor and I had gathered about 20 of our staff in the lounge. Fred, the staff gofer, had laid out a nice buffet and selection of drinks.

Fred was interesting: he served here without pay, a long-time customer of one of our Dommes who was given the chance to serve her full time once he retired. That came early; he was the relative of some guy named "Buffett", I think, and had lots and lots of money. Mistress Frannie allowed Fred the boon, and he was limited in costume to wearing a pair of house-slippers and wrist-and-ankle cuffs. Being that he was 5'5" tall and only weighed about 120 pounds, he looked rather silly, she thought. It didn't seem to bother Fred much; he served as kitchen slave, cleaned all the artistes' rooms, helped clean the second floor between customers, and in general took care of a bunch of details which otherwise would have fallen through the cracks.

Our staff always welcomed kindred spirits, folks who were not judgmental or critical of other lifestyles. This was appropriate, as we had just about every lifestyle that existed. Some were dominant, some submissive, some switch, some just neutral. We had guys, gals, and a couple who we were not certain about. Those who had gathered for the welcome party were a blend of all, wearing what they happened to be wearing at the moment.

Stella and Grace entered the lounge, and I introduced them to the crowd. Grace took to her knees at once, adopting "kneeling present" position; after a second or two, Stella followed suit. I was pleased to see that she had taken the time to do her hair and makeup carefully, and, again, was not self-conscious about her nudity in a room full of more-or-less clothed people. Her erect nipples and the drop of nectar dripping from her carefully waxed cunt-lips proved she was excited. I touched Grace's head which told her to rise, and took both women's hands to help them to vertical.

"Grace, join the family and enjoy your meal. Stella, come with me." I took her to my chair, and sat down. "Get me a selection of the buffet, a glass of wine to match your selections, and return."
