The Vassal Academy Ch. 29

Dominique shook her head. "I would give little weight to any suggestions you had for my people, and I assumed you would do the same for yours."

Christina nodded. "During our discussions, he indicated that he wasn't really trying to be nosy, but was trying to be involved in all aspects of the training that was supposed to be going on."

Devon appeared non-committal and allowed Dominique to answer. "The line between the two is sometimes rather thin, and might be missed in his zeal to perform his task."

Christina stood and started for the door. "I thought he'd gotten that line from you. I've about decided to keep him. Perhaps he's learned something too." She stepped outside the door and turned to her right, towards the guest wing.

Dominique turned and found Devon smiling at her. "Oh shut up."

"Yes Boss." Devon said piously.

"So when can you be back up and running here?"

"Five days, perhaps six." Devon said.

"That long?"

"It's more than the furniture, it's giving the slaves some reward. We are giving them all a spin on the table, two a day, over the next couple days." Devon explained.

"When can I expect you in town?" Dominique asked.

"Tonight, if you think it's best."

Dominique shrugged. "It may be, they want you Devon, you're the Master's Master."

Devon raised his hands helplessly. "What can I say, I'm in demand." He grinned at the expression on her face. Then he got serious and started to tap his finger on the desk. "I've been working while they were here too."

"I know, it wasn't easy to train them." Dominique let a bit of exasperation show in her voice.

"Not on them, on Sarah Miller." Devon said. "I've been thinking about her, and I think I have a suggestion."

"OK, let me hear it." Dominique said all business again.

"I want to meet with her, to talk to her, an interview of sorts."

"You want her to come here?" Dominique asked.

Devon shook his head. "I also want to look around some other cities. See what they have regarding BDSM clubs. Houston is a big money city too boss."

"When the oil price is up." Dominique said chidingly.

Devon nodded his agreement with that. "Too much instability in the market, but there are a couple clubs there I'd like to see. The documents we got from the Executive Club show them as sister organizations, with guest membership privileges that go with our cards."

"How long would you be gone?"

"Three days, probably not more."

Dominique considered for a moment. "Jeannette? Or Diane?"

"Jeannette." Devon said.

"A vacation, on my dime?" Dominique asked with a touch of humor in her voice.

Devon shook his head. "I'll spring for it. It would also be good to give Ann a longer period of managing this place, with a couple trainee's to boot."

Dominique shrugged. "You want the time, you got it. I'll split the cost with you."

Devon nodded his acceptance, and then they rose to head in to breakfast.

After Breakfast, there was a last sweep for any personal items being left behind, and while this was going on Kristy walked to Devon's office. She knocked on his door.

"Kristy? Is everything OK?" Devon asked.

"Yes Master Devon." Kristy said as she entered. "I just wanted to thank you, all of you, for everything."

Devon smiled at her. "You are certainly welcome." Devon stood and came around his desk, and took her hand to shake it. "Welcome to our world, I think you'll find you enjoy it."

"It's scary." Kristy admitted.

"It's also fun, and rewarding." Devon said.

Kristy nodded. "Yeah, anyway, I just wanted to thank you."

"See you again sometime." Devon said as she turned for the door.

Kristy hesitated. "Elaine wants to come back, I'm not sure if I do."

"You're not sure of much right now, in time, you'll become more comfortable with your desires, and then, you'll know if you want to." Devon explained.

Kristy turned and walked to him, and then kissed him on the cheek. She smiled and said. "Thanks again Master."

Devon escorted her to Admin, and she walked to join the other actors who were now gathering to board the busses.

All the Actors took a moment to shake hands, and t hank the trainers for their time and efforts, and then they departed. Elaine hung back and looked around at the central area. She said. "I bet I don't recognize this place when I return."

"You will, it will feel more like it should then." Devon answered.

Elaine nodded and turned to go.

The two vans pulled out of the drive loaded with luggage and with actors who were laughing at the ability to escape the torture castle as they were jokingly calling it.

Devon turned to his staff. "OK, time to get to our kind of work now."

"Thank God." Geneva said seriously.

Chuckles followed this announcement as the staff turned to get to work. "Jeannette, don't forget about Josh's room. I'd like that set up in the next ten days or so."

"Yes Master." Jeannette answered as she started to issue instructions.

They had a lot of work to get ready to return to the real training.

The playacting time was over, it was time for true slavery again, Academy style.
