Susan began: "Well I guess you know now. I've known about your nonsense with Ashley all along. What you didn't know is that we are both lovers and we ...ave both decided that we are going to keep you here for our own amusement. From now on your name is "Christine" and you will address us as Mistress Susan and Mistress Ashley. Is this understood?". I obviously couldn't answer. I didn't know what to do."Beginning today, you are going to learn to be a woman and to serve us both just like we were. 'I'm doing this because thieves like youcost me hundreds of pounds a year. But mostly I'm doing it because I can. I'mdoing it because you don't want your husband or your friends know that you'rea common thief.

The light wasn't good but he was certain! "Hito!" he repeated, slightly louder."Shut up man!" Came.
