Chapter 10 - Sunday morning

When the lights turned on the next morning Maddie slowly surfaced to wakefulness. She tried to get up and came upon the limitations of her chains. The failures and successes of the previous day came flooding back to her. She stretched her hands above her head and waited with her memories.

Eventually Stephanie came in with large bundle of fabric and unchained Maddie’s hands.

“It’s Sunday. No breakfast until after Mass.” Stephanie explained. “Here’s your dress for church. I’ll be back to get you in about half an hour. Let me take your cuffs off so you can have a shower.”

Maddie’s shoulders were stiff from spending the night in chains, but a good warm shower and some stretching exercises restored her. She brushed out her hair wondering if it actually looked ok, and went to get the dress.

She was not surprised that it was blue. It was a long form fitting a-line dress made of soft stretch velour. The bodice was a scoop neck and the skirt flared at the hips before falling to her ankles. She pulled it over her head. There were no closures, no pockets. It was more robe than dress. Stephanie came back in. She was wearing the same dress only hers was black with a red ribbon trimming the hem, sleeves and bodice.

“You look lovely Maddie. These dresses are very comfortable aren’t they? And the style seems to suit you quite well. Sometimes it’s nice to get out of the tight lacings.”

“I take it no undies?” Maddie asked.

“Of course not!” Stephanie was laughing. “Here let me get your cuffs back on. You will need these shoes too.” Stephanie locked her cuffs back on. The wide sleeves of the dress pulled down to cover the wrist cuffs quite effectively as the length of the skirt covered her ankle cuffs as well. Maddie loved the cozy feeling as she slipped her feet into fur-lined moccasins.

“Ok, come along.” Stephanie took Maddie’s wrists and clipped them together. “When the Retreat ladies go out in public, we always clip their wrists.” Stephanie explained.

She led Maddie down the stairs to the sitting room where they had eaten dinner the night before. Elaine was already there. She was wearing the same dress predictably in the emerald green that so enhanced her colouring. Her wrists were also clipped together. She smiled at Maddie and Maddie smiled back remembering the closeness they had felt the night before. A few minutes later Claire arrived with Susan in her red dress.

“Good morning Ladies! As this is Sunday and you are all good devout Catholic women,” the twinkle in Claire’s eyes belied her words. The ladies exchanged wry grins. “Yes. Well, we will be going to Mass anyway. Here are your disciplines for this morning. You will be taken by your husbands. You will keep your eyes lowered and your lips parted. You will keep silent except for the proper responses and prayers I am sure you all know by heart. Your wrists will stay locked for the whole morning. This’ll keep your mind on your new status. I suggest you use this opportunity to practice opening your spirit and attuning to your husband. You will find prayer helpful. Any questions?”

Susan looked a little perplexed. “How are we supposed to cross ourselves with our hands locked? And won’t the priest notice when we take the Eucharist?”

Claire smiled. “The priest is completely familiar with our Manor as we often bring Retreat participants to Mass in the village. As for blessing yourself, be discrete and do your best! But it is a bit chill this morning, so your cloaks will be required.”

Stephanie entered the room carrying the cloaks. Each in the ladies colours, they were thrown over their shoulders, and done up at the neck. Their hoods were pulled up over their hair covering them from head to toe. Maddie felt a bit like a woman from Saudi Arabia in this get up.

“Ok, let’s go!” Claire led the way out to the stables.

Maddie thought for a minute they were going to go in a horse-drawn carriage until they got to the minibus. The men were there and Ian looked magnificent. Maddie felt a burst of pride as she took her place at his side. He smiled at her as he helped her into the bus. When everyone was settled they left for the village.

The village church was like hundreds of others built around the turn of the century. It was stone with large stained glass windows and a huge pipe organ in the back. The economic effect of having the Manor close by was evident in the richness of the furnishings. The altar was beautifully ornate, covered in richly embroidered cloths and glittering vessels. The padded pews were carved with lilies and roses intertwined in what looked like the yin yang symbol that pervaded the decorations at the Manor. The whole place sparkled with candlelight and smelled of a century of prayer and incense.

Maddie was entranced by the beautiful sound coming from the choir loft. She had always loved church music and this choir was exceptional. She felt a lovely warm peace settle over her. Ian had an arm around her waist as they followed Master Stephen and Lady Claire into the church. The whole entourage from the manor filled almost half the church. Maddie thought everyone must have been there. She recognized the staff from lunch yesterday along with the serving girls. Only the cook was missing. Her stomach growled at the thought. It seemed like a long time since dinner last night. She dipped in a slight genuflection before sliding into the pew beside Ian and kneeling in prayer.

The priest was an ancient man with a large potbelly and a florid complexion, but a magnificent voice. As he sang the opening prayers, Maddie felt the sound of his voice enter her being and sooth her soul. She was acutely aware of her husband sitting next to her. She licked her lips. Keeping them parted was an interesting discipline. With her eyes lowered and her mouth open, she was finding herself reaching out with her feelings.

The Stable Master did the Old Testament reading. Maddie let the melodic sound of his Scottish voice wash over her. Someone in the choir sang the psalm and then a woman from the village got up to read from the New Testament. Maddie had half expected the readings to concentrate on the virtues of submission, but they were the regular readings set for the week. The Alleluia Gospel acclamation was magnificent though. The priest kept his homily to a minimum discussing the responsibilities of parenthood.

When it came time for the Eucharist Master Stephen and Lady Claire went up to serve along with another couple from the village. Madelyn followed Ian up to the altar. Maddie found herself in front of Master Stephen and her brain seemed to shut off. She dropped to her knees and raised her face to him. He held up the host and said “Body of Christ”. Maddie felt the familiar bloom of power in her belly that seemed to come from being close to Master Stephen. She closed her eyes and opened her mouth. He placed the small wafer on her tongue. She bowed her head and felt the power rise through her. Crossing herself (with both her hands) she said “amen” then moved on.

Maddie accepted the cup from Lady Claire. Having her wrists clipped together wasn’t as much of a problem as she thought it might be. The wine tingled on her lips and warmed her already burning belly. She returned to her place and knelt again. Maddie was a fountain of fire pulsing in time with the beautiful music that filled the church. She could feel the essence of the divine in her belly. Some small part of her observed that this priest did pretty good magic. Either that or she was in such an altered state of consciousness she was experiencing Mass properly for the very first time.

By the time Mass was done, Maddie was completely open. She felt like she was living with her skin off. Her perception had expanded so much she was aware of her connection to everyone in the church. She followed Ian out of the church and back to the bus.


Back at the manor, Ian watched as the staff quickly melted away leaving only the retreat participants with Stephen and Claire in the main hall. Ian kept one hand protectively around Maddie's waist, and pulled her hood back from her face. He thought she was as beautiful now as she had ever been in all the years he had known her. With her eyes lowered and her lips parted there was a serene and peaceful look on her face. He was just about to kiss her when Stephen addressed the group.

“Now gentlemen we will leave the ladies briefly with Claire and go get ready for breakfast. Not to worry, your wives will be with us shortly, but for now, if you would follow me please?”

Ian gave Maddie a quick kiss on the forehead then followed Stephen to the south wing of the Manor. They passed a sitting room and then through a pair of glass doors into a huge plant filled glass conservatory. Ian hadn’t seen this from outside as the main approach to the building was on the north side so this came as a complete surprise. The walls were easily two stories high, and the weak fall sunshine was enough to make the room cozy and warm. The air smelled of dirt and growing things. Justin’s girl Kim was moving around the plants with one of the other staff, giving direction on plant care. When she saw Stephen and the men enter she immediately stopped what she was doing and dropped to her knees. Stephen ignored her as he moved past into the middle of the room where there was a small grouping of chairs and a buffet table.

“Breakfast will be served shortly, but before the ladies get here, you will need to learn a few things. Dominance and control require responsibility. We have discussed this before and we will again. But for now, you will get to practice not only accepting service, but also taking responsibility. Yesterday your wives learned a few basic postures and serving protocols. You need to know what they are and how they should be performed so you can maintain discipline when you get home. You will also need to know the hand signals your wives have been taught. You can of course change these later to suit yourselves. But I would suggest you do not dispense with them altogether. A submissive woman needs structure and discipline to feel secure otherwise she will think you are neglecting her. Now we will need a demonstration model. Kim?” Stephen clapped his hands and Kim quickly appeared, sinking to her knees.

Ian thought Kim to be amazingly graceful. Perhaps this was why Stephen chose her to demonstrate. Stephen had her show the men the various postures, gestures and service techniques the women had been taught, explaining the purposes and advantages of each. Ian was amazed at the depth of detail that went into them. There was symbolism in every movement. Why the girl will use the left rather than right hand here, the meaning of the exact tilt of the chin there. Ian felt he should be taking notes. His stomach was growling and there was too much information. Not only that half way through the kitchen staff started to set out breakfast. There were fragrant dishes of eggs, sausages and bacon, toast, fruit, coffee, pastries... There was even champagne. Andrew wandered over to the table and snuck a sausage.

Stephen suddenly burst out laughing. “I can see that you are all thinking with your stomachs. Never fear we will go over this again this afternoon. But for now, here, try this.” Stephen showed the men the few hand signals they would need for breakfast. The signal calling the girl to attention, the one allowing her to eat, the one for her to fetch more of whatever and a couple of more Ian tucked away for future reference.

Their timing was good. The women entered with Claire. They were still dressed in their long robes, but their cloaks had been removed and the moccasins changed for heels. Their wrists were still clipped together. Ian caught Maddie’s eye as she moved to his side. He winked at her and tried out the ‘come here’ hand signal. He was rewarded by a brilliant smile as she knelt beside him. Ian thought she was going to have a challenging time serving him with a long dress, heels and her wrists clipped together, but the thought of her struggling was strangely arousing.

Claire took her place kneeling at Stephen’s feet as he addressed the group. “Your wives probably already know what you would like for breakfast, but you are in control here. Command as you will.” He turned to Claire “I’ll have some champagne, orange juice and the croissants.” Claire acknowledged and went to fetch Stephen’s breakfast.

Ian turned to Madelyn and whispered to her. “How are you doing, love?”

Madelyn looked radiant in her lovely blue dress. “Just fine Sir. Magnificent actually.”

“Good. I, however, am famished so you had better fetch my breakfast. What are you waiting for?” Ian gave her the signal.

Ian watched as Madelyn tipped herself back on her heels and rose in one movement to her feet. She first brought him his coffee. Then in an elaborate and time consuming process served him the rest of his breakfast. Ian accepted each cup and plate from her hands and started to eat.

When she finished bringing everything he needed, she returned to his side and knelt on the floor. Ian bit into a piece of toast and heard Maddie’s stomach growl.

“Haven’t you eaten, Maddie?”

“No Sir. We were told we would only eat what you feed us.” Maddie kept her eyes lowered. Ian felt a small bloom of frustration. Stephen should have told us we were to feed them. Then he smiled at himself. This was an exercise for the men to be aware of their wives needs and to provide for them. Ian held the toast out to her. His breath caught as she leaned forward and bit into it.

He picked up a strawberry took a bite and then holding it by the stem fed the rest to Maddie. Then he took a sausage from his plate and held it out. Maddie took it into her mouth and licked it slowly before delicately biting it off.

Breakfast continued. When they ran out of food, Ian sent Maddie back for more. Then he would feed her. She never took the food in her hands but simply opened her mouth and accepted what he put there. Ian took a bit of champagne mixed with orange juice in his mouth and leaned over and kissed his wife. She lifted up to meet him as he passed the drink into her mouth.

Ian slowed down, savouring the food and the experience. The world reduced to this moment. She would serve him and he would feed her. The balance was perfect.

Ian and Maddie were still luxuriating in their breakfast when Stephen got up. “There are no lessons for any of you for the rest of the morning. We will reconvene this afternoon. Enjoy yourselves.” With that Stephen and Claire left the conservatory.

They were in no hurry, but as they now had free time together, Ian was not going to waste it here. He fed her another strawberry and finished off a pastry.

“Fill the glass please.” He handed Madelyn the champagne glass and she went to obey. Ian readjusted his trousers and got to his feet. When Maddie returned with the wine, he took the glass and put his arm around her leading her out of the conservatory and back to his room.


It had been a day and a half since Maddie had entered this room the last time, thirty-six hours and an eternity of experience. She looked around the room with new eyes.

Ian locked the door and put his champagne glass down on the coffee table. He came over to her and unclipped her wrists, examining her cuffs.

“Do you wear these all the time?” Ian asked.

“They get taken off so I can wash. I guess they don’t want the leather getting wet. The die would probably run.”

“How does it feel?”

“It’s interesting. The extra weight keeps my mind focussed on here and now. Are we going to use this time to discuss my restraints, or had you something else in mind when you brought me here?”

Maddie felt a shift in the power in the room. Her comment was something that the old Madelyn would have said, snarky and sarcastic. Ian usually demurred to her when she was like that. Evidently he had changed as well.

“We will discuss what interests me, Madelyn. And restraining you interests me a great deal.” He grabbed the dress and pulled it over her head, and then he turned her around and clipped her wrists together behind her back. Maddie’s belly started to burn. She wanted to feel his hands on her body.

“That’s better, now let’s see what you have learned.” Ian gave Maddie the hand signal and she obediently dropped to her knees. As she was naked the position was even more exhilarating. With her knees spread her cunt was wide open. She had learned this posture with her hands free, but with them clipped behind her back it left her breasts exceptionally vulnerable. She watched her husband carefully. He was different now and she didn’t know what to expect. He gave her the signal for eye’s down and she lowered her eyes. Her breathing deepened.

She heard the zipper of his pants followed by the sounds of clothing being dropped to the floor. He was behind her; he ran his hands up her arms and she felt shivers up her spine. He grabbed her hair and slowly tilted her head backwards forcing her to arch her back exposing her throat and lifting her breasts. His free hand stroked her chin and down her neck. She opened her mouth feeling the passion rising in her. His fingers continued in their downward journey. He knew all her sensitive spots; that bit just at the base of her throat, then the valley between her breasts. Maddie’s cunt contracted and her breathing became more ragged. Then he pinched her nipple. Gently at first, then getting harder as he pulled her breast upwards, his other hand still in her hair. She felt the wetness between her thighs. A whimper escaped her open lips. He brought his mouth close to her ear.

“You are mine, Madelyn Joan Standish. All mine. I will take you and use you and keep you. Do you understand me?”

Madelyn did understand. Right from the base of her spine to the top of her head, she understood. She felt his power extend to her, filling her. ‘Oh my God!’ she thought. ‘He can do this too!’

“Yes Sir. I understand.” Madelyn breathed.

“Good girl.” Ian kept hold of her hair as he moved in front of her. He took her head in both hands and pulled her face onto his cock. She quickly opened her mouth and took in as much as she could. She was being swept along by the sensations. It was as if Ian was a completely altered man, but one who knew her intimately. She sucked and licked using her tongue to push the head of his cock gently up against her teeth. Suddenly he pulled her off and let go of her. She swayed with the loss of support, falling face down on the soft rug. He did not help her up.

“I see your ass still shows the marks from yesterday.” He massaged her cheeks and spread her thighs wide, probing and stroking. Maddie felt completely open, physically and spiritually. He dug his fingernails into her flesh and ran them down the backs of her thighs. Her toes curled and she squirmed under his hands.

“Oh no you don’t. Stay still.” Ian pinned her onto the floor. She could feel his cock between her legs. She desperately wanted him inside her, but he had control, and she was swept up in him. His hands were on her back now. Gripping her firmly by the waist, he pulled her hips up. She held as still as she could, her face on the carpet, her ass raised and exposed. Ian ran his fingertips up the inside of her thighs to her cunt. The passion was rising so fast in her she cried out when he touched her clit.

“Hmm, are you ready for me? Are you wet enough?” He dipped a finger into her folds and drew out a line of wetness up around her ass.

“Yes, it seems you are.”

He grabbed her by the hips again and thrust his cock deep into her cunt. She cried out as her passion threatened to explode right there. Ian pumped hard into her. Maddie’s hands strained against her cuffs, each thrust pushing her face into the carpet and forcing her ever higher. She was moaning now, thrashing in his grip. She felt totally overwhelmed. She let go and her climax released. She rode her orgasm until Ian’s strong fingers gripped her waist painfully and his final drive marked his release.

He collapsed on top of her catching his breath. Maddie lay under him loving the weight of his body on her. Rolling off he unclipped her wrists and tenderly took her into his arms. Maddie snuggled closer into his embrace. That was the most intense sexual experience they had had for years! Oh my, and this is only Sunday morning!
