EXTRACT FOR
Welcoming Submission
(Crimson Rose)

Her new uniform clinging to her like a second skin, Ashley got out of her car, smoothed out her dress and then walked towards the enormous manor where her training would take place. It was a quarter to three so she was a little early, but something told her no one would mind. As she stepped between white columns she saw several plaques hanging on either side of the tall, heavy wooden double doors. The one catching her eye stated: All activities beyond this point are video monitored. Great! She thought as a soft sigh escaped her lips. Videos of me being trained in submission. Just what I need to be plastered all over the internet. Resisting the urge to turn around and walk away, she raised her right hand and knocked. A moment later the left door was pulled open and she found herself staring at a stunning raven-haired woman in her late twenties wear identical clothing to her own but in purple.

?Welcome to Brentwood Manor, may I help you??

?Um, I?m here to see Connie,? Ashley stammered.

?You?re dressed as a student but I don?t recall seeing you here before. Can I ask your name??

?Ashley.?

?Nice to meet you Ashley, I?m Paige. If you?ll follow me I?ll take you to Mistress Connie?s office.?

?Thank you.?

?I know orientation for the new class isn?t until tomorrow, but you really should remember to respect their titles as once you?re enrolled you?ll be disciplined for refusing or forgetting.?

?Understood,? Ashley said as her wide eyes darted around the most luxuriously decorated living room she had ever been in. ?So, how long have you been here? Are you a student as well??

?I?ve been here for seven years and no, I?m not a student. I passed all of my training courses long ago and now work and live here as one of Mistress Vivian?s maids.?

?Oh. Did you go through the extended program??

?I did. Is that what you?re signed up for??

?Apparently.?

?Apparently? You don?t know what you?re signed up for??

?Honestly, no, no I do not. That?s part of the reason I?m here today.?

?I?m confused.?

?That makes two of us.?

?I mean, I don?t understand how you filled out an application and all the requisite forms and not know what you signed up for. There?s an entire section on it that?s pretty hard to miss.?

?I seem to have missed a lot. Long story short, I got a package earlier containing this outfit and a flash drive with a video welcoming me to the program. I was confused, looked it up and discovered that I had somehow signed up for an account, filled everything out and have hundreds of pictures on a profile I never knew existed until today and I don?t remember doing any of it.?

?Um, okay, that?s weird. How could you not remember signing up for a bdsm training course? If you don?t mind me asking.?
