The sound of the front door slamming shut roused Octavia from her book. She rose from the sofa and glanced in the direction of the kitchen. Dan was busy making dinner and that could take another hour before it was done. 

Octavia stalked into the hall on her slippers and watched Artemis take her coat and shoes off. "Welcome home, my sweet thrall." She murmured.

Artemis paused to look at her, and then bowed. "Thank you, My Lady."

Octavia moved in to embrace and hug her girlfriend. Her hands crawled up over Artemis' arms to her shoulders, making her shudder and close her eyes. Octavia gently let Artemis' hair down and caressed her neck. Artemis moaned blissfully until the hand in her neck reached a sore spot, then she winced.

"I'm sorry, My Lady. The lab coat chafed me there all day. I've been meaning to ask my boss for one that actually fits."

Octavia stepped back to give Artemis some space. "I was going to ask if you'd like to accompany me to the playroom, but if you're too tired from work…"

She looked at Octavia with an enthusiastic sparkle in her eyes. "If the play is not too physical, I would love to, My Lady."

With a grin, Octavia turned and started walking towards the basement. "No, I had something mostly mental in mind, my sweet thrall." 

Artemis followed her down the steps into the playroom where the lighting and the carpet were soft. At the bottom of the steps, Octavia pulled her in for a kiss and caressed up and down Artemis' arms. Without really thinking about it, Artemis opened up the buttons of her blouse and bared her left shoulder.

"Good girl." Octavia murmured as she guided Artemis towards the corner where the floor was padded with a fuzzy blanket on top of an exercise mat. "Just stand right over here. And go into thrall mode."

Artemis had an immediate reaction to Octavia's words and her tone. Her eyes locked on and she stood still like a statue on the softly padded floor. For a quiet moment, Octavia paused and just observed Artemis. Technically, she was already in a trance, her slumped shoulders, her blank face and the vacant look in her eyes showed as much. Artemis was so skilled at going into trance by years of practice, and so willing to surrender in this moment, Octavia was temporarily awestruck. This beautiful, young woman chose to take time away from her busy life to spend it here as Octavia's thrall.

With a blissful sigh, Octavia stepped forward to touch Artemis' face. "You honour me, my sweet thrall, with the gift of your surrender."

"I am yours, My Lady." Artemis replied in a sedated whisper. The touch on her cheek prompted her to close her eyes and rest her head against Octavia's hand, exposing the left side of her neck.

Octavia stepped in closer to embrace Artemis and started kissing her neck, tenderly at first but when a whimper escaped her lips, Octavia tightened her grip and bit down on the soft skin in the crook of her neck. Artemis' head was heavy in her hand and after a few seconds of this passionate kiss, her knees buckled with a loud moan. Prepared for this eventuality, Octavia guided her to the padded floor without ever breaking off the kiss. She laid Artemis on the blanket and sat on top of her, her face still buried in her neck.

It was such a rush to be allowed to do this to a much bigger person, to be allowed to act in this way. Octavia's heart beat like a drum and it made her all hot and bothered. After another minute or so of kissing and biting her trembling girlfriend's neck, she rolled over and lay down next to her on the blanket.

"There you are, my sweet thrall." Octavia's voice was breathy and raw with lust. "Exactly where you were always meant to be. It really doesn't matter what you get up to during the day, at work or when you are somewhere else. Eventually, you always end up here. Drained and empty. Completely under my thrall."

Artemis shuddered and her eyelids fluttered, showing the white of her eyes underneath. Octavia gently stroked her face as she continued:

"You feed me, my sweet thrall. You sustain me when you surrender to me like this. I draw strength from draining you. You are fulfilling your purpose by feeding me. I want you to know while you are like this, so blissfully helpless and empty, that you can be proud of yourself for being a good thrall. You please me. You make me happy. Cum for me."

Immediately, Artemis craned her neck and her hips shook as her legs clenched together. Moaning in abandon, she shuddered in Octavia's arms.

"Very good, my sweet thrall. Enjoy it. I want you to wallow in this happy feeling. You are so good to me. I love you." She tenderly laid her hand on the crotch of Artemis' pants as she writhed in orgasmic bliss. "You can just wallow in this overwhelming feeling as I keep you safe. It's ok to lose track of time and space in this moment. I don't know how long your orgasm will last. You are safe in my arms and you deserve to be this happy. You've earned it."

Octavia scooted closer to cuddle Artemis and coo sweet nothings in her ear. "Enjoy this feeling as long as you want. I don't think Dan has dinner ready yet…"
