Businesswoman to Maid Ch. 01

Sara was thirty-four, and an exceptionally successful businesswoman, holding a senior position in a financial organisation, and, over several years now, having earned a substantial salary.

Right then she was between jobs, having handed in her notice at her existing company, and having been offered a job which promised even higher earnings. However, her current company insisted that she worked out her notice period, not at the office, but in the form of garden leave for her whole notice period of six months. She wasn't quite sure what she would do with herself for all those months.

This morning, Sara went into the local coffee bar, and was happy to see Jessica, who, until about a year ago, had been a junior manager in the firm she had just left, reporting to her. They happily sat together and chatted.

Jessica eagerly explained how she had now built up her own business, which she carried out from her home. However, she pointed out. "I am really busy throughout the whole day, and so, to help me, I employed a full-time live-in maid who looked after the house for me. Unfortunately, she has moved about two hundred miles away, and I am looking for a replacement, which is causing me stress."

Sara asked, "You say she looked after your house? What do you mean?"

Jessica replied, "She did pretty much everything, really. She washed all my clothes, ironed them, and put them away. She cooked me my meals, tidying everything away afterwards. She cleaned the whole house, hoovered, made the beds, and changed them, and was constantly going from room to room making sure that nothing was out of place. If it was, she put it back in its right place. In fact, she did literally whatever I asked her to do, without any question. She worked so hard, but it was so helpful for me. In fact, I can't work anywhere near as hard if I have to do all of those things myself."

Sara wondered if she could fill in whilst Jessica found a new live-in maid. As Sara heard the amount of work that was involved, she still wasn't put off at all. In fact, she replied, "Actually, Jessica, I'm not working for the next six months and I'll be more than happy to step in and do that for you."

Jessica was really surprised as she knew this was very different from the work that Sara was so good at.

Sara saw the surprised look on Jessica's face, and explained, "Only yesterday, I went online to a website where a lady was in a lesbian relationship, actually a marriage, and it was her partner who had a really successful job and earned lots of money. This lady, though, Amber, threw herself into looking after the house, doing all the things that you have just described that your live-in maid did. She explained it was hard work, but so satisfying. Also, maybe even more important, she said that it was stress-free. She described herself as a submissive and her partner as dominant, and explained that her dominant partner told her what to do, and even worked out the household duties schedule, a different one for every day of the week. She loved it."

What Sara didn't explain, was how Amber gave full control to her dominant partner, including making all financial and other decisions. What she also said on her website, very happily, was that she had given her dominant partner full disciplinary control over her, and without doubt, a good hard spanking spoke volumes compared to simply being told off for a poor standard of work.

Sara didn't say it, even though she actually liked the idea of being spanked herself, but thought Jessica might be put off by that.

Instead, Sara added, "I could even see how that would be the case, being hard work but there being no stress, so I would really be up for trying it out and seeing."

Jessica didn't see any reason to say no, because, even if Sara was nowhere near as good as her current maid, it would certainly be better than having no one. She replied, "Well if you are up for it, and, as you say, you won't be working for the next six months,"

Sara really was up for it, and supposed, that as Jessica agreed to take her on, maybe she should tell her about the punishment element, so she explained, "Amber, who carried out the household chores, explained that initially, she was pretty poor at doing them. On the other hand, her dominant partner was far better at it than her, but, she had to do all of the office work and earn all the money. Therefore, what they did, was the dominant partner would inspect the work Amber had done, and where the work fell short of perfection, action was taken. However, it wasn't done by pointing out the errors, but by using punishments as the learning tool. The most common punishment was for the dominant partner to give Amber a long and hard bare-bottomed spanking. Amber said that each spanking took at least ten minutes, but it really did set her mind in the right direction and her standard of work quickly improved. Interestingly, three years on, Amber was still spanked two or three times a week, because it was agreed that her dominant partner would be ultra strict and set the highest of standards. However, Amber admitted that it didn't add to her stress at all, and she still found doing all the household chores hard work but ever so satisfying. In fact, she started the website to encourage others to do the same."

Jessica listened to all of that, wondering whether Sara really was asking to be spanked as a form of training. Why would she want to take on a cleaning job, anyway? Was it because Sara thought she would be bored for the next six months? That could well be the case, Jessica supposed.

Anyway, Jessica thought it would be rather good fun to have her ex-boss as her full-time live-in maid, and spanking her would be a bonus. So, with no particular reason to turn down the offer, Jessica said, "Okay then, Sara. We just need to agree on a salary."

Sara replied, "I don't need a salary, Jessica."

Jessica was happy enough with that, but did point out, "It will seem strange with you working for me, bearing in mind that I used to work for you."

Sara replied, "Sure, but then I want to see what it is like to be a maid. I want to do everything that a live-in maid would do. That must include being totally obedient, and respectful. I think the way we can do that, is that I will never speak first, and if I want to speak to you, I will stand silently with my hands in front of me and will only look at the floor, until you speak to me. Also, I will only address you as, 'mistress,' and you only refer to me as, 'maid,' or 'girl.' Anything other than all of that, should earn me a severe bare-bottom spanking, each and every time. In fact, you should give me no second chances. That goes for my standard of work as well as my attitude. Believe me, mistress, I really do want to throw myself into being your live-in maid so I can experience the stress-free life, where all I have to do is do whatever you tell me to do. It will be so refreshing for me, not to have to make any decisions, but just work very hard. Of course, I am used to working very hard, but also to making all of the decisions. This would be such a lovely change for me, and I can do it for six months."

Jessica liked the fact that Sara would be as submissive as her current maid, but then asked with a smile, "What about your clothes, maid? Yours are really expensive."

Sara replied, "I will buy some very simple clothes. In fact, I will buy the same set of clothes to wear every single day, maybe even a maid's uniform. I will not wear my jewellery, nor makeup, and my hair will be tied back in a bun, so everything about me will tell you that I am of a far lower status than you. I would want you to feel confident about the fact that you are in charge of me, totally, without any question, and, should I question one thing, or even delay obeying you for just a second or two, then that will earn me another spanking every single time. My aim will not to be spanked, but I have no doubt that, in your position of superiority, you will be spanking me on a very regular basis."

Jessica was very surprised at the way that Sara was encouraging her to spank her. So she asked, "So, you don't want to be paid, but you do want to be spanked. Is that right, maid?"

Sara replied, "Well, mistress, I don't need the money, but for some years have had a wish to be spanked. Here, the spankings would have a serious part to play. I know that I will need my shortcomings pointed out to me, certainly initially, and I think that having a seriously stinging bottom, and then the threat of another seriously stinging bottom hanging over me, is what would help me. Just as Amber explained on her website. Obviously, I wouldn't want someone who worked for me to give me a regular bare bottom spanking, but, mistress, I will be working for you, and I don't want you wasting your time pointing things out to me, when a bare bottom spanking will, I am sure, be far more effective. I don't think it will add to my stress, mistress. Actually, it will reduce my stress, because, I will know that I will have earned every single spanking and so it will be in my control, because, mistress, all I will have to do is my job properly. That's why, mistress, it would reduce my stress, and let me focus on doing my job properly, making your life as easy as possible, so we both gain."

Jessica could still only see benefits to having Sara come and live with her, and do whatever she can do of the housekeeping chores. She knew her current maid had set out a comprehensive list of daily duties, obviously several duplicated every single day, and others to be carried out every few days or every week. She knew that she would give those to Sara to follow. Spanking Sara would be like a coffee break as well, so not a burden on her.

Having agreed that Sara would become Jessica's full-time live-in maid, they both left the coffee bar immediately went to one of the cheap clothes shops. They picked out a dark grey short sleeved T-shirt, with shorts of a matching colour, a cheap bra and knickers were also available. It was agreed that Sara would purchase seven sets of exactly the same clothes, so she could wear one every single day, so look the same every single day.

They drove back to Sara's house, where she changed out of her expensive clothes and put on a set of her maid's clothes, after having removed her make-up and taken off all of the jewellery. She even cleaned off the nail varnish on her fingers and toes. Not needing anything else, Sara left her car at her house, and was driven by Jessica to her house.

Once in the house, Jessica showed Sara around the house. Sara felt she was already getting into the role as she continued to address her new boss lady only as, 'mistress,' and was very happy when her mistress referred to her as, 'maid,' or 'girl.'

As Jessica showed her new maid around the house, she made a point of showing her maid where her bedroom was. It was on the ground floor in an annexe, but was very small with a shower room attached. Jessica could see that her new maid wanted to say something about the bedroom, but forced herself to stay silent. That was a good sign, Jessica thought.,

When Jessica showed Sara her own ensuite bedroom, Sara saw a wooden-backed hairbrush on the dressing table. Jessica was now used to the idea of spanking Sara, and could see the benefit of using the hairbrush which would sting the maids bottom but not sting her own hand.

Jessica saw Sara look at the hairbrush, and said, "I will be using that hairbrush whenever you need to be spanked. Don't expect to enjoy it for one second."

After that, as they passed the second bedroom, Jessica said, "That will be the punishment bedroom, girl."

Jessica realised that she was now really up for being in boss lady mode, and knew that she was actually looking forward to giving her new maid her first spanking.

Jessica also realised that Sara was avoiding eye contact as much as she could. She was standing still, with her hands clasped in front of her, looking at the floor, and whilst it might be role-play, Jessica did think that Sara was taking it very seriously.

To get things going, Jessica gave Sara the household chores schedule, and could see Sara was very quickly studying it,

Jessica told Sara, "You'll see the work schedule for today. You will have some catching up to do, but I need to now get on with my work, so you get going with yours, girl."

Sara was still looking at the floor as she replied, "Yes, mistress, immediately."

As Jessica went off to her office, Sara again studied the work schedule, and could see that she should already by now have changed the mistress's bed, and washed the bed clothes. She knew that her mistress had given her a very detailed tour around the house, and so she knew exactly where the bed linen was, and the washing machine and tumble dryer, with instructions on how to use both. Therefore, she set about immediately going to her mistress's bedroom, stripped and remade the bed, making sure that everything was in place, and then took the dirty bedclothes down to the utility room and put them in the washing machine.

Next on the schedule was cleaning both bathrooms. She could see that made sense rather than hoovering, as that would minimise any noise that might affect her mistress working. So, knowing where all the cleaning materials were, Sara set about cleaning both bathrooms. She quickly found doing this work hard, but equally could see how she didn't have to think about anything. Hard work was all that she had to deal with. Even as she was working so hard cleaning both bathrooms, she knew that she was actually enjoying herself. Not in a fun way, perhaps, but certainly in a stress-free way.

Next on the schedule was the need to ask her mistress what she wanted for lunch. Sara went and stood in the doorway to her mistresses office, her hands clasped in front of her, looking at the floor, and waited for her mistress to acknowledge her. It actually took several minutes, but she saw that as her mistresses control over her.

Jessica knew that the maid was standing in her doorway and deliberately ignored her. She was even listening out for the slightest of coughs that the maid might have been made intentionally to get her attention. She was pleased that none of that happened. Eventually, she did look up and saw her maid, and asked. "Yes, girl?"

Sara continued to look at the floor as she replied, "It is time for me to make your lunch, mistress."

Jessica told her maid what to make, and then said, "I will eat my lunch here at my desk. You will eat yours in the kitchen. Understood, maid?"

Sara immediately replied, "Yes, mistress."

Sara went back down to the kitchen and made lunch, enough for both of them. She took her mistresses lunch on a tray up to her in her office. She did stand in the doorway, once again obediently waiting to be told to come in, and this time it happened within seconds.

Once the tray was put down on her mistresses desk, Jessica didn't bother looking up but just said as she looked at some of her papers, "Come back in fifteen minutes, maid."

Sara replied, "Yes, mistress," before leaving her mistress's office and going back downstairs. Even as she went downstairs, she couldn't believe how happy she felt, still just doing what she was told by her mistress and following the schedule of household chores. There really was no stress for her.

That continued to be the case as Sara followed the schedule of household chores, making afternoon tea for her mistress, doing more chores, and then making dinner. Sara knew she still found it very hard work, particularly all of the cleaning she did throughout the afternoon, but still felt no stress.

It was when Sara was serving dinner, that she made her first real mistake. Whilst most of the day had gone pretty much to schedule, both Jessica and Sara knew they needed to get one thing out of the way sooner rather than later. That was for Jessica to give Sara her first spanking.

The mistake was a simple one. Jessica asked for an orange juice with her supper, and Sara had forgotten to bring it up. Jessica said very sternly, "Go and get me my orange juice, girl. After you have had your supper and cleared it away, we will both be going to the punishment bedroom, where you will get undressed, and you can expect a really hard bare-bottomed spanking."

Sara immediately said, "Yes, mistress, sorry, mistress."

Sara brought the orange juice to her mistress very quickly, and then went back down to the kitchen to have her supper. She knew she was hungry because of all the hard work, so did eat everything, but couldn't get out of their mind the fact that she was about to have her first-ever spanking. She still saw that as very much part of her life as a live-in maid, though. It obviously wasn't for every maid, but she saw it as an important element for her to show her mistress that she was subject to her mistress's full authority over her. As much as she was concerned about the spanking, she just hoped it would be the really hard spanking that she hoped it would be.

As Jessica was eating her supper, she was telling herself that, as her maid had made such a strong point about being spanked, it must be right to make sure this was a really hard spanking, just as every spanking needed to be a really hard one. She convinced herself that was the case, and knew that it would set the right tone for the next six months.

As soon as Sara had collected the dirty plates from her mistress, taking them back to the kitchen, washing them up as well as her own, and putting everything away, she immediately went back upstairs into the bedroom that she knew was identified as the punishment bedroom. As soon as she walked in, she saw on the dressing table the wooden-backed hairbrush that she had seen on her mistresses dressing table. She knew that meant that her mistress was really up for giving her a hard spanking.

Sara immediately got undressed, and just thought it was right that, as she waited for her mistress, she stood facing a wall, pressing her nose against the wall, putting her hands on her head, and waiting. She actually found it good thinking time, but wasn't surprised about that.

When Jessica walked into the punishment bedroom, she was pleased to see Sara facing the wall with her hands on her head, already fully naked so her bare bottom was on show. This was so different from when Sara was her boss lady, but the rules were changed, and, clearly, Sara was fully up for that.

So, Jessica went and sat on the dressing table chair, making sure that the hairbrush was within easy reach, and ordered, "Right, maid, come here and get across my lap."

Sara really had no concerns about doing as she was told, even knowing the pain that she was most likely going to suffer. She simply wanted to obey her mistress, and knew it was her own fault that she had forgotten the orange juice. Therefore, knowing that spanking was the consequence that she would have to suffer, actually wanted to, she quickly went and stood by her mistress, and then bent down across her lap.

Sara did find the position humiliating, her hands on the floor, her face inches from the floor, her mistresses bare upside-down legs inches from her face as well. She gasped when she felt her mistresses hand rubbing her bottom in circles, and then gasped again as the first spank landed on her bottom. After that, those spanks continued, one after the other, and she knew they were on alternate bottom cheeks. She could only imagine how red her bottom was going to be by the end, and that was even before her mistress used the hairbrush on her bare bottom.

Jessica knew that she had decided to make sure that this was an increasingly hard spanking. As hard as those first spanks were, she knew that she made the spanks harder and harder as she went along, actually enjoying how each of her maid's bottom cheeks surrendered to her hand, flattening under it, then bouncing back just as the other bottom cheek was spanked. She also noticed how her maid stayed in position all the time, doing nothing other than gasping and a little bit of squirming around on her lap. This spanking was clearly what her maid wanted, and it encouraged Jessica to spank even harder.

Sara also knew it was what she wanted. She thoroughly enjoyed her day so far, working through the list of chores, doing everything that she was told without question and immediately, and knew that all that was missing was her first spanking. She hadn't forgotten the orange juice on purpose, and it was a genuine error on her part. However, she was pleased that it had happened and that the spanking was happening, even though she was finding it harder and harder to cope with a now stinging bottom. She knew that her mistress was only using her hand so far, and was dreading when the hairbrush was used on her bottom, but still wanted that to happen.

Even with the pain, Sara loved the fact that she was being spanked by her mistress who used to report to her at the office. Not just that, but her mistress was younger than herself as well. That was two reasons to relish the submission she was offering up to her mistress. Sara realised she didn't miss being the one in control and the one making all of the decisions. That was two more good reasons to be enjoying her life as a full-time live-in maid. She even started to think about whether she should make the transition from senior manager to live-in maid on a more permanent basis, or even an absolutely permanent basis. Would she be happy with that, she asked herself? That was more difficult to answer, as it wasn't within her control. Would her mistress be happy with that, she wondered?

Sara then smiled to herself. wondering whether she was mad to think of herself transitioning to being a full-time live-in maid. After all, this was still the first day.

Sara stopped thinking about transitioning as soon as her mistress started to spank her with the hairbrush. The pain was greater than she had even imagined it would be, and she knew tears were quickly filling her eyes and then dribbling down her face. However, she still managed to stay in position and just took every single spank.

Once the spanking was over, Sara realised her mistress didn't scold her, but just said, "You have five minutes to recover, get dressed, and then get on with your work."

Sara replied, "Yes, mistress," and that was what she did.

Sara worked increasingly hard, and more so the following morning because her bottom still stung from the spanking. She was so pleased that it did, because that would be exactly the incentive she wanted. In fact, even more than she had expected.

Within just a few days, Sara happily got up in the morning and looked at the schedule to tell her what her workload was today. She then did every bit of that work, as well as anything and everything that her mistress told her to do. She was always exhausted by the end of the day, but so happy as she easily and quickly fell asleep, even if she had suffered another spanking earlier in the day. Her stinging bottom helped her go to sleep, telling herself she wouldn't earn a spanking tomorrow, but wasn't worried if she did. All that was important was that she served her mistress to the best of her ability, working harder than when she was a senior manager, but without the stress.

Sara settled in well, loving her low status. Every time Sara passed a mirror and was alone, she looked at herself, and loved how she looked. She loved the dreary colour of her clothes as well as the fact that she had no makeup. She knew that no one could mistake her right then for the really successful businesswoman that she was, and felt very at home knowing that the real benefit for her was simply that there was no stress. Until today, she hadn't realised just how stressful her job was. Now she did, and wondered if she would question which job was better for her. Being a full-time live-in maid or a successful exceptionally well-paid businesswoman?

Sara didn't stop questioning whether she preferred being a maid to being the senior manager. As a maid, she would be managed rather than managing others. She couldn't question anything anymore, but making decisions was so stressful. Which was better, for her, she kept wondering. She knew, even now, though, that the answer wasn't clear cut. However, she could easily see herself as a long-term maid, and didn't write that off at all.

After all, she knew all about analysing pros and cons, and, she knew decisions of a long-time nature must not be made on anything less than clear-cut, but, she was well into thinking that being a maid could end up as the clear-cut answer for her.
