Author's Notes: Oh my gawd! This took me all freaking day to write...mostly because I got distracted playing video games and going to the gym. Oops. Anyways, yeah. Let me know what you think like always. This one has some mature stuff ahead kiddos. I warn you now. There is also some depth of insight into Livia's thoughts and why she obeys so thoroughly even when Jocelyn is out of the country and has no way of knowing. Also she's beginning to open up a bit and give some feedback. I was torn about the way to approach this chapter so I hope no one thinks it's too soon or whatever. I wanted to slowly grow this along but I figured we needed some sort of interaction from her other than silence and clinging to Alex which she does and will do abundantly. Anyways, let me know what you think yeah?


Chapter 4

"I don't care what you have to do to get it into line just do it!" Jocelyn's voice was low, her anger clearly coming through as she slammed the phone down in its cradle. Livia could hear her new Mistress' voice the closer Mitsuru drew her to the door. Mitsuru knocked and upon hearing Jocelyn's confirmation to open the door the little redhead pushed it open smiling sweetly at Livia. "Okay on your knees now. Crawl towards her and remember what I said. Never speak a word to her unless she tells you to. Okay?" Mitsuru pushed back a pretty brown lock of hair easing it into place. She'd spent the past two hours bathing and readying Livia for their Mistress' presence. The bruises were fading beautifully the only issue being what they now knew would be a decent scar on the back of Livia's head. Thankfully with her long brown hair it was covered.

Livia bit her lip and nodded. Truthfully she'd not said much to anyone let alone Mitsuru. She would speak softly when spoken to but she was still weary to say more than a few words at a time. She waited until Mitsuru had opened the door to drop to her knees and then lowered herself on her hands. She crawled into the room she jerked and looked fearfully over her shoulder at the now closed door. She turned back and saw Jocelyn sitting at the desk holding the bridge of her nose with her eyes closed. She opened her eyes and lifted her hand smiling when she saw Livia.

"There's my little one. You look very pretty today precious." She rose to her feet coming around the large paper cluttered desk and kneeling down with her arms open. Livia bit her lip and slid forward knowing from just the two weeks she'd been there that Jocelyn wanted to pet her. She nuzzled the soft white hand as the long fingers slid from her cheek and into her hair. Jocelyn ran her fingers over the scar before tangling in the thick brown locks and sliding her fingers through a few times. "Red is a beautiful color on you my Livia. With your dark coloring it's set off beautifully against your skin."

Before she could say anything else the phone rang. She squeezed her eyes closed, "Why don't you go ahead and find Mitsuru. I'm going to have to go to the office today my little one and you won't like it there. I don't like it there." Jocelyn smiled still weaving her fingers through Livia's thick hair.

"Go on. I've got to take this call and likely it will make me very frustrated. You don't need to hear that my precious pet." Jocelyn rose to her feet going to pick up the phone she spoke softly and then put it on hold going to the door and holding it open for Livia to crawl through.

"Olivia? Olivia are you awake? Alex's soft voice woke Livia. She sat up looking over at the blonde for a moment before looking around to make sure she was alone. When she'd assessed that she was indeed alone with the blonde woman she crawled forward towards her. Alex smiled sadly watching the once proud, strong woman she remembered. She knelt down not realizing how similar to Jocelyn she was acting at that moment. Livia smiled as she moved towards her and slid down onto the hard tiled floor the same way she always used to when Jocelyn would come to her in such a fashion. Alex watched stunned at the submissive position Olivia took on as soon as she was kneeling. It seemed to her that every position she put her body in Olivia's body would respond in a more submissive fashion so that she was always the weaker out of the two.

Alex sighed softly, "Elliot is still looking for Jocelyn. She's still in England apparently. They think her mother may have something to do with that."

Livia kept her eyes downturned not speaking until finally she asked softly, "Why do they want to find her?"

Alex gasped shocked when she spoke. "Why haven't you spoken if you could before now?" She asked feeling tears well up in her eyes at Olivia's beautiful voice.

Livia shook her head, "I don't like them. They took me from my home. I was happy. I want to go home."

"Olivia you are home." Alex spoke softly. "Do you not remember anything at all?"

"I remember Elaine, I remember being called Libby and I remember being beaten and tortured and finally sold to my mistress who finally took care of me."

"Olivia you don't need someone else to take care of you. You are the strongest person I know."

"Whoever she is she's not me. I'm sorry."


"What is Mistress like in bed?" She asked Mitsuru as she turned to look at her holding one of the throw pillows from their Mistress' bed. Currently the two were cleaning up Jocelyn's bedroom while she was at the office. It had already been a few months since Livia had come to live at the manor and things were looking so much better than she ever thought possible. Mitsuru smiled as she shifted the lamp to dust underneath it.

"You mean she hasn't slept with you?" Mitsuru asked arching a brow not that she was truly shocked but more that she was a bit jealous of all the attention Livia got from Jocelyn. She used to be the one that was pampered and loved on the way Livia now was. Of course she understood that the poor thing needed it god knows she'd never received even half the punishments Livia had obviously endured.

Livia looked down frowning as she clutched the pillow a little tighter. She was still quite timid if even though she was a bit more comfortable in Jocelyn's presence at least. "No. Is that bad? Am I not good enough to share her bed?" She asked in a small voice.

Mitsuru frowned, "It's not that Livia. I'm sure it's not. You're very beautiful. Trust me we all see it and we all know Mistress does too. She probably just doesn't want you to feel uncomfortable. She wants you to trust her and know that she'll take care of you."

"You didn't answer my question. What is she like in bed?" Livia's voice was still small as she watched Mitsuru set the lamp down and then reach over to help her fix the bedding.

Mitsuru shook her head, "She's not gentle but she won't hurt you. She likes it a bit wild but it's nothing you won't be able to handle. She'll do what she needs to make you want it as much as she does. She always does it with me."

"She sleeps with you?"

"She did until you came here. She hasn't sent for me since the first night you slept in her bed." Mitsuru's voice sounded a bit bitter even to herself. She blinked tears out of her pretty almond shaped brown eyes though she'd never admit it to Livia it really did hurt to know that she wasn't the center of Jocelyn's attention. She was used to it even though she knew that made her sound like a brat.

Livia sighed using her hands to flatten out the slight wrinkles in the beautiful silver and black comforter. "I'm sorry."

"You didn't do it." Mitsuru's voice was a bit snippy as she reached up and pushed the tears forcefully from her eyes.

Livia nodded and they continued their work in silence.


Jocelyn was laying face down on the bed when Livia crawled into the room. She quietly settled on the floor knowing she wasn't to get on the furniture without permission. She had washed up and gotten dressed in the peach tank top and panties she wore to bed. Jocelyn twisted seeming to sense the eyes on her and smiled when she saw her little pet. "All ready for bed?" She asked sitting up and moving to stand up. "I suppose I should get ready as well."

She pulled the expensive suit off leaving her in nothing but a bra and panties. Livia couldn't help but eye her Mistress' pale flesh as she pulled her golden hair down from the bun she'd had it up in held up with a stylized pair of chopsticks.

Jocelyn turned setting the chopsticks on the night stand and caught sight of Livia's dark eyes watching her rather hungrily. She blinked and cocked her head slightly not at all surprised by the look. She'd been waiting for it ever since the first night she'd brought Livia to her bed to sleep. She smiled and stepped towards her pet watching her face closely to make sure she didn't flinch at her quick movement. When Livia appeared to be all right she knelt down and pressed her lips gently to her forehead. "Do you like the way I look little one? You're staring at me like a starving man would a prime cut of meat." She pointed out laughing softly when Livia blushed brightly and looked down obviously embarrassed.

"There's no need to be embarrassed little one." She waited until Livia looked up at her before she continued. "I look at you like that a lot." Livia's eyes widened which cause Jocelyn's smile to widen.

Livia watched intently swallowing a bit nervously when her Mistress leaned down and carefully captured her lips in a deep possessive kiss that wasn't gentle but wasn't rough either. Rather it made Livia feel protected and very safe. It was something she found herself enjoying more than she ever thought she would or should. She let out a soft whimper when she felt like she couldn't breathe anymore and Jocelyn straightened up.

"Get on the bed little one. I'll be right back. Lay down in the center with your head on my pillow." She commanded easily and Livia felt a shiver run through her before she obeyed as willingly as she always had. She slid onto the bed careful not to wrinkle up the work she and Mitsuru had done earlier in the day. Jocelyn returned when she was settled and set something down on the bed near her head but Livia didn't turn to face it figuring her Mistress would be angry with her for not trusting her.

Jocelyn slid onto the bed climbing easily over her pet and settling mostly on top of her though she kept her weight balanced on her knees which she pressed on either side of Livia's closed thighs. Brown eyes met bright green and she smiled seeing the trust reflected there. She slid a hand up gently stroking Livia's soft brown locks from her face pleased to see none of the scars she was afraid she would have from the torture she'd endured from the slavers. She gently slid her hand to her lips caressing the full bottom lip before sliding over her cheeks, chin, eyebrows and then back to her lips. They were so soft and pliant, a naturally pretty pouty expression always taking over. Livia willingly laid there enduring the intense study her Mistress seemed to be doing.

She didn't move when she felt the woman shift on top of her but she certainly responded in a welcome fashion when warm lips touched hers. She willingly parted her lips for the tongue allowing her Mistress full access to her mouth and not fighting with her thorough explanation. Though it would seem just by her lack of movement she didn't enjoy it but her eyes were squeezed tightly closed and she let out a few whimpers and sighs of pleasure that were captured in the lips of the woman beginning to explore her so thoroughly.

Jocelyn kept up the steady exploration as she began to ease her hands down Livia's body caressing her skin through her tank top, sliding her fingers along the warm skin of her shoulders and triceps getting her used to being touched. Livia for her part was in heaven or at least as close to it as she thought she could be. She'd never been touched as far as she could remember in such a wonderfully gentle yet possessive fashion. She had liked the feeling of belonging to someone who would protect and cherish her but now she was starting to understand that those feelings were paling in comparison to the feeling of belonging with every fiber of her being to the blonde woman above her.

When Jocelyn pulled away Livia whimpered out loud opening her eyes and pouting her kiss swollen lips. Jocelyn laughed at the sweet expression and open lust present in Livia's eyes. "Do you trust me little one?" She asked.

Livia nodded immediately knowing she truly did in that moment. Jocelyn smiled and carefully lifted what she'd gotten before, a beautiful red silk scarf. She allowed Livia to look at it for a moment before sliding her hands underneath Livia's wrists. She brought them together and ever so gently used the scarf to bind them one over the other. The entire time she listened closely for any sign of fear or discomfort but when she got none she looked up into Livia's pretty face to make sure the olive skinned beauty was all right. Though she noticed Livia was biting her bottom lip she didn't seem uncomfortable with the idea of being bound. Jocelyn gently lifted her hands and pressed soft kisses along the backs and fingers showing Livia how much she cherished the gift she was giving her. Livia for her part relaxed totally at the kisses realizing Jocelyn was going to take care of her even now.

Jocelyn lifted her hands above her head using the discrete metal rings on the headboard to bind Livia's wrists in position. She slid her hands along her arms and down to her shoulders and clavicles giving Livia ample time to get used to the position she'd put her in. Even though she would often do much worse things in bed to Mitsuru, well at least as far as non-kinky people went, she knew her sweet timid little Livia couldn't handle that. It was best to start very slow and work their way up to it and if they couldn't get to that point she would find a way to get what she needed from what Livia could handle.

Livia glanced up at her hands wondering if she would get in trouble for testing her bonds. She chewed her lip in a nervous gesture Jocelyn found incredibly endearing. "Go ahead little one. You can test it. It's tight but you can get out of it if you get too scared. I promise. And I'll release you if you don't think you can handle it." She added.

Livia nodded and immediately tested the bindings. She could indeed get out if she tried hard enough and because it was silk it wouldn't hurt her at all to do so. She looked back at her Mistress adoringly realizing how well taken care of she actually was. Jocelyn knew she'd be afraid, nervous but still willing to try and she had seen to it that though it would test Livia's trust to be tied up she could still get free and have no damage done to her wrists to do so. She smiled softly finally fully relaxing as her Mistress continued to caress her never once letting Livia lack her touch.

Jocelyn slid down slightly pressing her lips to Livia's lips then her chin and then down to her neck. She didn't nip at the flesh as she would've been tempted to do to mark her as hers. She'd yet to collar Livia something she wanted to do but knew Livia wasn't ready to accept just yet but perhaps if tonight was a success she would look into having one made for her. Livia immediately tilted her head back offering her neck up easily to Jocelyn as the woman began to touch and kiss her. It wasn't necessarily the touch of a lover but it wasn't unwelcome. More with each kiss Livia truly felt owned, possessed by a woman who had owned her since the day she'd bought her.

Livia bit her lip to keep quiet as her Mistress eased her tank top up and began to feast on her breasts. She arched her back her eyes closing as she felt Jocelyn's lips close around her nipple and began to suck and twist it ever so gently with her teeth and tongue. She felt Jocelyn's thigh ease between her own and willing parted her legs allowing full access to her already soaked panties and core. Jocelyn pulled away smiling as she slid both hands up pinching and rolling Livia's dusky brown nipples. Livia let out a soft cry and Jocelyn smiled. "That's a good girl. Just let me take control. Don't fight me, give yourself over to me." She encouraged seeing Livia was allowing her body to respond in whatever fashion it would to the touch.

She eased her hands down caressing Livia's flat abdomen and down to her panties. She traced her fingers over the wet cloth and then slid a finger gently in between her flesh and cloth caressing her wet warmth but not going where she knew Livia would want her to touch just yet. She wanted her sweet pet to be fully adjusted to being touched by her before she took it further. Livia's hips bucked as she tried to get the fingers were she wanted them to go reacting instinctively.

Jocelyn slowly eased the fabric from Livia's body leaving her mostly exposed since she'd pushed Livia's shirt up to expose her breasts. She slid a hand up cupping the warm mound and playing tenderly with a nipple before she allowed her other hand to dip into Livia's wetness playing with her swollen lips and hard clit for just a moment. "Livia don't fight it. Let it happen little one. Let your body react instinctively like you did earlier. Don't fight your reactions." Jocelyn encouraged even as she slowly swirled her index finger along Livia's slit and finally slid it into the first knuckle. Livia cried out at the contact thrashing slightly before forcing her body to still. Jocelyn sighed and eased her finger from Livia's body. "Livia don't fight me pet. Let me do as I wish with you. That's my right. You belong to me. But since it upsets you to be touched in that way we'll do something else." She promised indulgently seeing Livia's upset eyes.

She gently teased her fingers over her clit massaging the hard flesh and squeezing it in between two fingers giving Livia's system shock after shock of pleasure. It didn't take long for Livia to come from the skilled touch. She didn't even touch herself at night let alone anyone else like she knew some of the others around the manor did while they were doing chores. She'd seen it happen and though Mitsuru said Jocelyn didn't approve of it she didn't punish them for it either. She'd refused to seek pleasure anywhere else though as soon as she'd heard that. She wanted her Mistress to approve of everything she did and she would carry herself accordingly. When she'd told Mitsuru that the pretty redhead had smiled and nodded, "Yes that's exactly how you should be. I'm that way too but we have a special bond with Mistress that they don't have." She had said with her nose slightly upturned.

Now looking back Livia was glad she'd not sought pleasure elsewhere, it made this all the more sweet for her. When she finally eased back to earth from heaven she blinked and watched as her Mistress now on her side beside her continued to play with the sticky wetness between her legs carefully avoiding her clit to give her a break. She bit her lip her breathing still heavy as she watched the touches continue. Finally to either her disappointment or relief she wasn't quite sure which one to feel her Mistress pulled her hand away.

Jocelyn waited until Livia was looking at her to do what she wished. She held out her hand smiling softly when Livia immediately began to lick her own essence off the long white digits cleaning her Mistress' hand of every trace of her release.

"That's a good girl." She praised before reaching up and gently untying Livia's hands. She rubbed at her wrists once she felt her fingers were clean helping blood back into Livia's hands and then sliding her fingers along the sore muscles of her arms helping to relief the tension there. Livia allowed her arms to be lowered and placed at her side before her Mistress gently pulled the tank top back down. "It's time for bed little one. Go ahead and get in your place. I'll be right back precious." Jocelyn rose to her feet and Livia waited until the door to the bathroom closed to slide down to the foot of the bed where she slept every night. Though she secretly wished Jocelyn would hold her for a bit she understood that she'd received enough affection tonight and it was time to rest.

When Jocelyn returned changed into her short nightgown with her hair braided she walked over to Livia and leaned down pressing her lips to hers. "You were very good tonight my pet. I'm very pleased with you. You did very well." She praised and smiled when she saw Livia puff up a bit with pride and happiness at such praise. She stroked her hair for a few moments. "Just rest now my little one. I've got to get up early tomorrow and go to the office so I want you to sleep late and enjoy lounging in bed for a bit before you get up. I know you get up when I do and start your chores but there's no need for that tomorrow."

Jocelyn slipped up onto the bed crawling to her place in the center before slipping under the blankets and reaching out to turn off the lamp which had given the room a soft warm glow while she'd touched Livia. The room went black as Livia watched her Mistress slip down and get comfortable with her eyes closed she wasn't sure if Jocelyn was asleep or not but she appeared to be. She laid awake a bit longer just studying her Mistress' beautiful features in the soft pale glow the moon cast through a crack in the thick curtains. She was certainly very lucky to call such a beautiful woman her Mistress she thought feeling pride swell in her chest. Her Mistress was kind and strong and loving and attentive to her every need. Certainly there was no other Mistress more fitting of her dedication than this one. At least that was what she thought at that moment.


Author's Ending Notes: Uh...yeah...sorry the smut wasn't A/O but you know I sort of figured I had to show Jocelyn's hold over Olivia before I got to that. It's smutty and all that. Didn't really intend it to go that way but my muse had other thoughts. Fucking pervert that she is. Anyways let me know what you think yeah?
