"Kelly, please respond to Kimberly."
"Kimberly, I accept you, and will love you, as my slave with all the rights and privileges you are granting me. To all present, you shall now be known by your slave name, kimmy, and you will address me as Mistress.
I watched Sam, holding a white, silk pillow, position herself in front of Kelly. On the pillow rested a brass padlock, a key on a chain, and new white collar on which the name, "kimmy," was inlaid in red.
Kelly picked up all three items and put the key and chain around her neck.
Melissa said, "slave kimmy, please kneel on the pillow at the feet of your Mistress, facing her. Sam placed the pillow on the ground. When I was in position, again prompted by Melissa, I said, "I, slave kimmy, kneel before you, Mistress Kelly, and this gathering, naked, as a sign of my total submission to you and request you grant me the privilege of wearing your collar as a symbol of your ownership. I solemnly swear to submit to your will, in mind, body and spirit, and promise to wear your collar proudly for all the days of my life as a sign to whomever we meet on our journey as Mistress and slave."
Kelly replied, "slave kimmy, I place this collar around your neck, as a symbol of my ownership, for you to wear as a sign to whomever we meet on our journey as Mistress and slave."
Kelly buckled the collar on and snapped the padlock shut. I know everyone heard the click of the yoke as it slid in place. That wonderful shudder ran up my spine.
Sam held another white silk pillow before me. A chain leash was coiled on it. Once again, as prompted by Melissa, I picked the leash up, held it out and said, "Mistress Kelly, I offer this leash to you. Please connect it to your collar to be seen by all as a symbol of that which links us together. Use it to guide and lead me along my new journey through life. It is my deepest desire to belong to you and to willingly follow you wherever you choose to take me."
Kelly then said, "slave kimmy, I accept this leash as a symbol of the offering of yourself and give you my promise to carefully guide and lead you safely in my footsteps and through life. You belong to me from this day forward and I will do all within my power to protect and love you as you join me on my journey."
Kelly clipped the leash to the D-ring on the front of my collar and asked, "slave kimmy, to whom do you now belong?"
"I now belong to you, Mistress Kelly."
Prompted by no one, I leaned forward and kissed the toes of Kelly's shoes. She immediately pulled up on the leash until I was standing before her.
Once more Sam held the pillow out. On it was an "O" ring. Unlike the other "O" ring I had worn, this one was gold. I held out my left hand and Kelly slipped it on the third finger and declared, "I, Mistress Kelly, take you kimmy, to be my slave, my lover, and my friend for as long as the sun, the moon and the stars are above us and even longer if I am able."
Sandra was invited to place the handcuffs on my nipples again, since they were her 'sister' gift. She used the bar bells to hold them on.
Mistress Kelly," Melissa continued, " I understand you have a special gift for your slave. You may give it to her now."
"I have changed the plan that we discussed on how I wanted to present this gift. I will need a few minutes to prepare my new plan."
"Please take whatever time you need, Mistress Kelly. This is your ceremony.
Sam placed a small box on the pillow that had held the "O" ring and handed it to Kelly who then turned to me and said, "Turn and face your audience, kimmy." Then she added, "Kneel and rest."
She walked over to Kassandra, knelt on one knee, held the pillow towards her, and asked her to open the box. While I could not see the contents at the time, Kassandra removed a four-sided, rectangular, gold plated pendant and a gold captive ball ring. Kelly later described the pendant. It was 1-1/8 inches long and .15-inch x .15-inch thick. A two-inch long box chain was threaded through a small hole drilled through one end of the pendant. The four facets of the pendant had been engraved with "Mistress Kelly," "slave kimmy," "May 25, 2013," and "Forever together."
I could not hear the whispered conversation that followed, but they later told me what had been discussed.
"It is beautiful, Kelly, but I heard Melissa say it is a gift for your slave. Why are you giving it to me?"
"Because I want you to put it on her for me."
"I think you need to tell me more."
"Did kimmy tell you that I had put two piercings in her vagina?"
"Oh, my gawd, no. That's fantastic. But I didn't notice them, and the way she is now sitting, I don't see any."
"They had to be removed for the ceremony. One was a clitoral piercing with a captive ball ring. I attached an engraved, military style ID tag to it that essentially said she was my property. I had this pendant made to replace the ID tag. You affirmed her desire to be my slave and presented her to me. Attaching this to her clit would be a final act of giving her to me."
"Attach it to her clit? She's my sister, Kelly. I'm not sure I can do that."
"Can you, just for a moment assume kimmy is not your sister?"
"Yes, I can make that assumption. I love that you call her kimmy, by the way."
"In front of you is a naked woman kneeling in what is known as her rest position. You can see her shaved vagina. I own that woman. She is my slave. She has given her life and her body to me. Do you consider her to be sexy?"
"Oh, I definitely do?"
"Have you ever seen her naked before?"
"I have, but definitely not like this."
"Does her naked condition excite you."
"Yes." Her reply was somewhat husky.
"If you were closer, I can guarantee that you would see that her nether lips are engorged with blood and wet. She is sexually excited."
"Did you find it to be sensuous to lead that same naked woman to her collaring?"
"Yes, I did."
"kimmy's ears are not pierced. They will be in the near future. However, if they were and I asked you to attach this pendant to her ear, would you do it?"
"Definitely."
"The only difference between her ear and her clit is that her clit is a sexual organ. Consider attaching this pendant to her clit to be an act of love, not a sexual act; an act love between two sisters.
"Kassandra, you honored your sister by presenting her to me for her collaring. Please honor her once again, by attaching this pendant to her clit. That will indicate, to her, your ultimate love for her and your recognition that she is still your sister and, at the same time, my slave.
"Even more important, performing this act of love, for me and on my behalf, is an affirmation that you have my solemn promise that you will always have access to your sister.
"I know you can do it, and feel that, deep down, you want to."
"May I ask a couple questions before I give you an answer."
"Please, ask as many as you need to."
"May I say something to her when I do."
"Kassandra, you may say anything to her that you want, and I do not need to know, in advance, what that might be."
"May I also give her a hug and a kiss afterwards."
"She is your sister, Kassandra. Blood is thicker than water. I will never take that privilege away from you or her."
"May I call her kitten instead of kimmy."
"Kassandra, again, she is your sister. By extension, you are now part of my family. That gives you special privileges. You may use any name you desire. Anyone else must call her kimmy as long as she is wearing my collar."
"Thank you, Kelly. You are as wonderful and gracious just as she said you are. It will be my privilege to attach this pendant for you."
"No, thank you, Kassandra."
"Just for the record, should I be calling you Mistress Kelly, too."
"No, Kassandra. I am your sister's mistress, not yours. I prefer that you just call me Kelly."
I watched as Kassie stood and walked towards me. Kelly sat on the chair Kassie had occupied. When she was in front of me, Kelly said, "Stand and present, Kimmy." As soon as I intertwined my fingers behind my head, Kelly said, "Spread!" I moved my feet farther apart.
Kassie looked at me, grinned, and said, "Damn, kitten, I am truly impressed. I wish you had been this trained when you were a teenager."
She raised the pendant so I could see it. "Your mistress had this pendant engraved as your collaring gift and asked me to present it to you." She showed me the inscriptions. When I said I wasn't wearing my contacts, she read the wordings to me. "She also gave me the honor of attaching it to your body. It is a replacement for your ID tag, so you know where it is going. Do you mind?"
"My mistresses wish is my desire, Kassie."
"You answered my question as her slave, kitten. I want to know if it bothers you that your big sister is going to attach this pendant to your clit. I need you to answer as my sister."
"Oh, Kassie. No, it does not bother me. I love you so much. It gives me comfort and joy to know you are willing to do this for me and for my Mistress. I will remember this moment forever."
Kassie knelt, grasped my clit between her fingers and pulled. I know she heard and felt my reaction as the sensual feeling swept through my body. She located the piercing, slipped the captive ball ring through and slipped the pendant chain over the ring.
"kitten, I am attaching Mistress Kelly's gift to your body to indicate that I, your sister, approve of your decision to dedicate your life to her as her slave." She slipped the captive ball in place to complete the attachment. "I do this out of my everlasting love for you."
I knew I would always be able to feel its presence as it dangled from my clit. When I am upright, it will swing as I walk. When I sit, it will rest against my vagina. Kassie stood, took a step back and said, "Damn, that is more beautiful than I thought it would be, kitten. I am almost jealous that you are the one wearing it."
She then moved in and started to hug me. It was a little awkward, since I had to hold my 'stand and present' position. Thankfully, Kelly said, "You may return your sister's affections, kimmy."
I lowered my arms and pulled her into a tight hug. Her arms tightened around me. Tears of joy and love started to form in our eyes. "Thank you! Thank you! Thank you, Kassie. I will never forget what you have done for me today."
Her reply surprised me, "Please kiss me, kitten. Your mistress said it was OK."
What started as a kiss of sisterly love, turned passionate when I pushed my tongue through her lips and into her mouth. Rather than reject my advances, Kassie moaned, hugged me tighter, if that were possible, and sucked my tongue deeper into her mouth to begin a dance with her oral muscle.
We, eventually, pulled apart. Kassie stared at me for a few seconds, said, "Wow!" turned and sat down.
I didn't realize that Kelly was standing beside me until I heard Melissa say, "slave kimmy, I understand you have something for your mistress."
"Yes, I do, ma'am."
"Sam, may I have the large box, please?"
Sam handed it to me, and I gave it to Kelly. It contained an engraved brass plaque. Mistress, I wanted you to have something for your office that would be a continual reminder of the night we met at Lisa's Hideaway. I remembered these words from when I read Great Expectations and knew they would be perfect for today and for us. Only you, I, and our friends will know their true meaning to us. I read the inscription to our audience.
"Pause you who read this and think for a moment of the long chain of iron or gold, of thorns or flowers, that would never have bound you, but for the formation of the first link on one memorable day."
― Charles Dickens, Great Expectations
Everyone applauded when I finished.
"Oh, my sweet slave. The wording is above and beyond a perfect description of us. The 'one memorable day' was Friday, May 3. The 'formation of the first link' started when you walked into Lisa's wearing white ankle socks and ended when Allyson brought you to my table. Without that first link on that memorable day, you would not be bound to me today. It is as if Mr. Dickens wrote that just for us.
I have the perfect place for this on the wall in my office. I will see it every time I look up from my desk."
My darling Mistress, if you look at the back, you will see that you can pull out a section to form a stand. That way you will be able to sit it on your desk and be able to see it without looking up."
Kelly smiled and tried to sound angry, "Little one, you are getting bolder in conversation with your mistress. Continued repartee like that could earn you a spanking."
"Thank you for the warning, My Mistress," I replied, grinning.
"I do have a second gift for you My Mistress." Sam handed me a small jewelry box. I gave it to Kelly.
It contained a charm in the shape of a girl's head. One side was engraved with "Kimmy", the symbol of a heart, and "Kelly." The other side was engraved "Kelly", the symbol of a heart, and 'Kimmy."
"I wanted to put 'slave kimmy' on it, Mistress, but I thought you might have a hard time explaining that if you wore it in public. This way you can say that Kimmy is a niece or some other relative. I hope you forgive me for putting the letter 'K' in capital letters rather than properly in small letters."
"kimmy, my dear, there is nothing to forgive. You were very astute in deciding how to disguise this. Would you please put it around my neck?"
After I finished, Melissa said, "You may now kiss your slave, Kelly." It, too, was a toe-curling kiss.
I barely heard Melissa saying, "Members of the Venus Coterie, it is my distinct pleasure to present our newest Mistress and her slave; Kelly and kimmy. Refreshments will be served in the parlor momentarily.
We, along with Sam and Kassie remained in the garden so some final pictures could be taken. I had been oblivious to the female photographer who had been taking pictures of the ceremony ever since Sam and I arrived at the garden. She was the same photographer that photographed us at the Abby. As I later discovered, I had even missed her taking pictures of Sam's branding. They became part of our album.
Kelly explained that she wanted a separate album for us to remember this event; "Similar to a wedding album," I thought. Kelly even insisted that photos of just Kassie and I had to be included as well as ones the three of us. I was, of course, naked in most, but was permitted to wear my gown in some. I was surprised that Kassie did not mind being included in the ones where I was naked. When we were almost finished, Kelly attached the leash to my collar again. More photos were taken including it.
"Our guests are waiting for us in the house, kimmy. Shall we join them? "
"Kassandra, would you like to hold my pet's leash."
"It would be my pleasure, Kelly."
I took Kelly's arm when she held it out for me. Then Kassie, on my other side, held out her arm. So, arm in arm, in arm, we walked to the house, Kassie still held my leash. Sam followed, carrying the gown I had worn. I assumed I would not be wearing any clothes anytime soon.
"Kimberly, I accept you, and will love you, as my slave with all the rights and privileges you are granting me. To all present, you shall now be known by your slave name, kimmy, and you will address me as Mistress.
I watched Sam, holding a white, silk pillow, position herself in front of Kelly. On the pillow rested a brass padlock, a key on a chain, and new white collar on which the name, "kimmy," was inlaid in red.
