Ah, the upstairs maid. She was changing the linen and making the bed. Did any of his staff ever sleep, I wondered as I went back to drying my hair. Rummaging in the cabinets I came across a hair dryer and used it until my hair was dry.

Naturally I was nude. And naturally my clothing was in the bedroom, but after the events of last night I sure didn't have any qualms about parading nude before the servants. Especially Charles and Betsy.

"Good morning, miss," they almost said simultaneously at my entry.

"Muumm good morning to you two, too. Tell me, does anyone ever sleep around here?"

"Only what our bodies require, miss."

That came from Charles as I began to look for my clothes. I was sure I left them on the suede chair, but they weren't there.

"May I help you, miss?"

"Yes, ah Betsy, have you seen my clothes? I'm sure I left them here, but as you can see they're gone."

"Yes, miss. I took them to the laundry while you were in the shower."

"But what am I to wear in the interim?"

"Oh ahhmum, I had assumed that Master Jason had informed you."

"Informed me of what?"

For some reason Betsy hesitated in answering as she turned to Charles.

"Mr. Jason has decreed that you are to remain nude while in residence, miss."

"Nude?"

"Yes, miss."

"Really?"

"Yes, miss. I am quite sure of his instructions on the matter, but if you doubt my word I could have him tell you."

I... ahh well no, I don't doubt your word. It's just that... You're sure?"

"Positive, miss."

Nude while in residence, huh? Well, I can't say that it was all that surprising. After all it was no secret that Jason was quite determined that I become an exhibitionist. Hell, our first date informed me of that possibility.

But nude?

"Am I restricted to this room, then?"

"Oh, no, miss. Mr. Jason also informed me that you are to partake of breakfast in the dinning room. He wished to you join him as soon as you finished your shower."

Dinning room? While naked?

Well, as I said, it shouldn't come as a surprise.

"Where ahh where is the dinning room, Charles?"

"Betsy will show you the way, miss."

Right, I thought, as I remembered her words of the previous night. Males dominate, while females are the submissive. Naturally she would be the one delegated that task.

Casting one more look at my colorful body, I shrugged. "Well, I ahh guess I'm ready, Betsy. Lead away."

"Yes, miss."

She turned and headed out of the room as I, with a bit of trepidation, followed in her wake.

"Ah Betsy, ahh has ahh this happened before?"

"A nude guest, you mean, miss?"

"Yea, a nude guest."

"No, miss, not to my knowledge."

"Oh, ahh and what do make of that fact? I mean, why me?"

"I'm sure I couldn't say, miss. But if I were to hazard a guess, I'd have to say that Master Jason has some very special plans in store for you. Not only for today, but for the future, too, miss."

"Special plans? What kind of special plans?"

Having reached the top of the stairway, Betsy stopped and turned to face me as she spoke.

"It is pure speculation on my part, miss, but my guess is that Master Jason plans for you to be here. Permanent like, miss, and by requesting that you attend breakfast in your current marked and nude state, he is announcing it to the rest of the staff."

"You really think so?"

"Oh, yes, miss. What else could it mean?"

I didn't know, but her words did make me smile.

I was still smiling as I passed two other servants as we made our way to the dinning room. The other maid blushed and turned away. Not so the man. He practically leered.

And me?

Well, to be utterly truthful, I threw back my shoulders and did a bit of-strutting. I suddenly felt very happy. What if Betsy's words proved to be true?

Entering the dinning room, Jason stood like the perfect gentleman as I walked toward him. His eyes made a quick inventory of my body and he smiled.

I smiled back. Who wouldn't when subjected to that kind of a smile by the guy that did so many things, not only to my body, but to my mind, too.

It was at that precise moment in time that I realized that I loved him, and that thought made me stop in my tracks.

"Is something wrong, Kate? Suddenly you look, ahh, well, different."

"I ahh am different."

"Really. And what happened to make you different in one step? It couldn't have been my orders about your mode of undress. You surely accepted that before ever arriving."

"Mode of undress? Oh, ahh no. As you said, I accepted that before my arrival."

"So?"

"So what?"

"So what caused the sudden change in your looks. You look like it was something of vital importance."

"Oh, it is vitally important."

"Good. Care to share it with me?"

"I... I just realized a startling revelation."

"And that was?"

I could tell that he was starting to get a bit irritated by my mixed up words and actions.

"I just realized that... that I love you. Silly, isn't it." I rambled, "Standing nude and quite well marked by last night's activities, I suddenly realize that I love you as I walk in a dinning room."

A quick glance around provided other facts too. "A dinning room that contains three other people staring at me like I'm the biggest fool on earth. Really quite amazing, isn't it? I mean when one considers all the various implications."

The first part of my disjointed speech made him smile. The second caused him to cast one quick glance at his servants. Their expressions instantly changed to utter acceptance of my state of undress and bodily marks.

The one man, whom I assumed was some sort of footman or such, with the utmost ease pulled out a chair which I knew was meant for me, as the two females hastily set food on the table with downcast eyes as I approached the chair.

Somehow I knew that I'd never be able to reproduce the look Jason gave them. Nor would they react the same if I did, especially the man. Not after Betsy's words about the staff last night. But I did take my seat as he pushed my chair in for me.

Taking the seat at the head of the table, Jason reached for my hand resting on the table top and held it in his.

"You're sure? About the love, I mean?"

He looked so serious. I couldn't help but become serious, too, as I answered. "Yes. I'm quite sure. I do love you."

Personally I'm not sure why I hadn't known it earlier. Like our first night together. Even then I couldn't deny him anything. I still couldn't, as far as that goes.

"God, what a way to start a day. Being told that I'm loved. I'll have to give that statement some very serious thought. But, first, let's eat." Turning to one of the maids, he said, "You may serve us now."

"Yes, sir."

The food was set before us and I must confess that I wasn't the most diligent of eaters. It was not my custom to eat in the buff. Especially not with others in attendance. And not in my physicals condition either. But I did manage to consume my share of the offered food as Jason ate hardily as he talked away.

"So, how are you feeling today? Not too sore, I hope."

"I've been better, but no complaints."

"Good. We still have the remainder of your purchases to contend with, haven't we? And as we have an early start on the day, it should be a fun filled one. Let's see," he said as he rested his chin on his hand, "we used six out of twelve dildos. The two canes and of course the harness. That still leaves a good variety for today's use. And then there are the things that I already had. So, tell me, Kate, what did you think of Betsy's jewelry?"

Jewelry? What jewelry? I couldn't recall her wearing any.
