A Slave's Place
The obedient, personal footslave kneels silently and unobtrusively by his pretty mistress’s feet staring dutifully at her short, white sock whilst she converses with her fellow-female laundry customer – even though the other young woman is wearing an equally pretty pair of (black) socks.
He knows his place.
He is also glad his mistress’s socks aren’t in the wash, as it means he will get to sniff them and mouthwash them later.
