Humble Dryer
It’s raining outside and my mistress complains bitterly to me, as she re-enters her home, that her sneakers are filthy and her socks are damp due to the rainwater. It seems that she blames me for the bad weather and the consequent state of her footwear, and, in law, if a Gynarchy mistress believes that to be the case her slave isheld accountable for such things.
I am, however, forbidden to speak, so I cannot answer her back, either to defend myself or, as I would wish to do, apologise for the murky state of her footwear.
She angrily kicks off her dirty shoes (after I have kissed them) and removes her damp, musty-smelling socks from her feet before shoving the shoes and socks beneath my kneeling nose. She warns me that if her sneakers aren’t pristine clean, and her socks are not fully dried, by the time she is ready to go out again in about an hour, she will have me sorely whipped!
My back is fully bare and exposed behind the wall of her porch and already bears the scars of previous angry whippings by my petulant mistress, so I am very keen not to have the old sores reawakened by fresh whip cuts. I therefore resolve – silently, for remember that I am forbidden to speak even to beg for forgiveness and mercy – to ensure the cleanliness and dryness of my mistress’s discarded footwear. I decide to focus on lickshining her dirty sneakers first as they won’t clean themselves, whereas the rain-dampened socks should, in theory, start to dry out of their own accord, even though my mistress has scrunched them up inside her sneakers. I can always expedite the drying process by breathing heavily on the socks after I have sufficiently lick-cleaned the muddy sneakers.
And so for the next hour I focus on licking dirty sneakers and sniffing, and breathing on, a musty pair of female black socks in a desperate effort to avoid the sting of my mistress’s powerful whip. Do I succeed? And how many lashes should I receive if I fail in my duty to clean the sneakers and dry the socks?
