Six Masters Island - De Lucia's Slaves by Candace Smith

Brian asked, incredulously.
    Richard looked him straight in the eye.   “Courtney,” he assured him.
    “Richard, let’s see what’s happening at the end of the first training session.   You may want to consider a pre-sell on her,” Dawson tossed out, and he received the reaction he had predicted from his brothers and sister.
    “What?” Sienna exclaimed.   The two brothers’ mouths fell open, as well.
    “In case no one is paying attention, we’re not getting any younger.   We still have heirs we need to produce and get trained into the business.   Sienna, you already said you aren’t interested,” Dawson reminded her.
    “No, I most certainly have no interest in swelling up with a baby… but, I won’t mind teaching my little nieces,” she smiled.
    “I’m just throwing that out there, Richard, so you won’t be fighting the decision because of us.   If she is really adapting that well, it might be worth taking you off rotation for the others so that you can spend the year acclimating her to the estate after you’ve trained her.   Things are already messed up slightly with the pre-sell on Andrea.”   Dawson thought of Courtney’s pixie appearance, and decided she was a good fit for his brother.
    “Well, there’s no way I’m pre-selling Isabelle.   She is so syrupy phony I’m spending my time just trying to get an honest reaction from her,” Brian stated.   “If you all end up keeping yours through the year, I can probably use the time to try to turn her around.”
    “I understand from Devon she has a real aversion to pain,” Richard commented.
    “What she has is an aversion to authority.   You heard her.   She thinks she should be a Mistress, because she has absolutely no idea what it is… only that it’s someone in charge.   I already know what I’m going to do with her… and it is way out of the box for us.”
    “I think you’re enjoying this little challenge, Brian,” Sienna commented.
    “You bet your pony, I am,” he chuckled.
    It was Courtney’s turn for a trip to Adela, and Richard was more nervous than she was.   Her big blue eyes took in the room, and she thought about Fallon and Andrea.   The eyes swam and she looked up at him.   “Are you going to bald my head, Master?”
    Richard stroked the silky blonde tresses and chuckled.   “No, Courtney, it will be more like Fallon.   Andrea’s being specialty trained.   You know that.”
    “Yes, Master Richard.”   Courtney walked towards the table.   “Does it hurt?   Will the doctor knock me out, like you did on the plane?”
    “No, we don’t knock you out, and yes, it does hurt a bit,” he admitted.
    “Not too bad, kind of like the stuff we do?”
    Those big blue eyes… “A lot like that.   If you behave, I have something special for you.”   Richard fished the box out of his pocket, and opened it to show her small gold rings with a chain pooled in the middle.”
    Courtney thought for a moment, and climbed up on the table.   “Okay, they’re smaller than Fallon’s, so maybe it won’t be too bad.”   She looked over towards him and held out her hand, and Richard handed her the box and she picked up the rings to study them.   “You’ll be here with me, right, Master?”
    “I’ll be here… and you’re going to behave.”
    “Yes, Master Richard.”
    The door opened and Adela walked in.   “So, this is your little fairy.”
    Courtney smiled at her, and Adela was stunned.   The woman was a perfect miniature beauty.   “Good god, Richard,” Adela whispered.
    “Yes, well, I guess you can see my problem.”
    Courtney overheard him, and her insecurity re-surfaced and the eyes filled, immediately causing Adela’s panties to soak.   “Is there something wrong with me, Master Richard?”   Courtney began to shake, and wondered what the doctor was going to have to do to fix her.
    “No, Courtney,” Richard said in exasperation.   “Lie down and do as Mistress Adela tells
