Mistress Maria
Mistress Maria likes to personally supervise her slave whilst he is down on his knees in the dirt and working hard on her homestead. As you can see, she is a great believer in the power and efficacy of the whip to instil hard work and obedience in a slave, and her brown leather bullwhip is thus never far from her side – or from her slave’s back!
Likewise, she is a firm believer in having her slave show respect towards her by kissing her feet. She particularly likes to make him kiss the cross-themed buckle motif on her flat, ballet-flat shoe, as she is a religious woman and the buckle is a reminder to him of her piety. At the same time, the skull and crossbone motifs on her ballet flats are a reminder to the slave of the danger she poses towards him, having absolute power and authority over him.
Furthermore, the design of the ballet flats means that whenever his menial mouth is paying humble homage to her ballet-flat buckles, his eyes are forced to observe at extremely close quarters the smoothness and softness of her dainty, feminine foot, whilst his nose is inevitably caught up in the aroma from her bare toe cleavage – an area of her foot which she reckons to be the sweatiest and therefore the smelliest (she’s not wrong!). Oh how humbling for the slave!
She also rejoices in the fact that her long, mistressly dress prohibits the slave from staring at her shapely, female leg. The fool must focus entirely on her dainty, outstretched foot in the mud, and can be under no illusions that she is his mistress, not his friend. However much he might yearn to touch her soft, feminine footskin with his lips (for it would be his only humble contact with female flesh) she knows he dare not, as the aforementioned whip looms over him ready to strike at a moment’s notice!
And so, when she is satisfied that he has shown sufficient slavish respect and adoration for her ballet-flat shoes, she orders him back to work with his trowel, digging her garden and licking his dry and parched lips in a vain attempt to retain the taste of her superior shoedirt in his inferior mouth. Work, the whip and kissing feet are the summation of his miserable and painful existence. And rightly so.
