The slave awaits at home, kneeling in silence: he has no tasks until his mistress returns. Today, there are three dominatrixs, as this is the entrance to the studio where I, Lady Scarlet, work alongside Gea Domina and Cleo Domina. The slave’s duty is to clean our shoes the moment we enter, to prevent dirt from being tracked into other rooms. Gea enters first, wearing towering black leather boots which the slave immediately begins to kiss, before moving on to licking her heels and soles. Cleo enters next, also in black boots, and the slave sets to work while she ignores him, comfortably sending emails from her phone. Finally, I arrive, burdened with a heavy bag which I place on the slave’s back. As he tends to my boots on all fours, I grow impatient with his sweating, fearing he may soil my bag.
