Abbey soon settled into her new home. She loved the fact that she could walk to work in just a few minutes, which meant that she had less stress and more money because she no longer had to pay rent or her daily fare on a jeepney. Although she worked in a restaurant, Abbey had to buy her own food because staff were not provided with meals while on duty. Again Joe helped Abbey to save money because he made sure that there was always food in the refrigerator for Abbey to cook for him and for her.
However, Joe continued to eat his breakfasts in the restaurant, and he was often joined by a few other older retired western men. Abbey always made a point of making sure that she was their server. She got to know the members of the group quite well. They were from different western countries, but they were all united in having decided to retire to the Philippines, and also in teasing Joe and Abbey about the fact that they were “living together.”
The expression made Abbey blush because although she had had boyfriends in the past, and she was not a virgin, the idea of having a relationship with Joe excited her because it was vaguely taboo. Joe was about twice Abbey’s age, but he was still healthy and fit. He exercised every day, and apart from his legs being a little painful sometimes, he did not seem to have any health problems. That is if it were possible to ignore his farting, which Abbey did not like, but which she had to put up with.
At times, Abbey let her mind fantasize about being dominated by Joe. She did not really feel attracted to him, but she liked the idea of an older man from the West controlling her. Secretly, Abbey was a submissive, but she did not realize that. All she knew was that she would like a man who could control her and be quite firm. A man who was strict and who knew what was best for her.
Nevertheless, Abbey was unable to understand what made her feel like being controlled. She just knew that it felt good and exciting to have such thoughts.
However, she did not have these thoughts too often because she had bigger problems on her mind. Her older niece was ill and had been hospitalized with dengue fever. Abbey’s sister in law was dependent on Abbey for support in her everyday needs, so Abbey knew that it would be impossible for her to pay for the hospital treatment that her niece needed. Although she had more money to spend because of living in Joe’s apartment, Abbey had to find some other way to make money besides what she earned from her job as a waitress.
Then something happened that allowed Abbey to find the money that she needed. As one of her duties, she had to wash Joe’s clothes, and when she was preparing to put his shorts into the washing machine, she carefully checked his pockets in case he had left something in them. On that day, he had indeed left something, and that’s when she discovered a roll of dollars. Abbey could not help but check to see how much there was. She was amazed to discover that there was almost $500 in small bills neatly rolled up.
Abbey had been raised as a Catholic, and she still believed that stealing was wrong, but she also had an obligation to her dead brother’s child. She was tempted to take all the money and run away, but she instantly realized that Joe knew where she worked, so that was not an option.
However, Abbey started to rationalize taking some money from the roll. She started by thinking that Joe had a lot of money because his retirement pension was from his former multinational company. Then she thought that he would not notice if she took some of it because there was so much money in the roll. Finally, she hatched a plan. She would take $300 and leave $200 in the pocket of the shorts and then put the shorts with the money into the washing machine. This would destroy the money, and Joe would not know how much she had taken because there would only be pieces of notes left. Abbey was sure that this would succeed, and she would be able to help her niece.
The plan would probably have succeeded if she had not taken so long to consider all her options. Unfortunately, just as she put the shorts into the washing machine after having taken $300, and while she was still holding the money in her hand, Joe came into the kitchen where the washing machine was located.
As soon as he saw Abbey holding the money, he remembered that he had withdrawn it from his bank earlier in the day, and that he had left it in his pocket.
“Oh, Abbey, thanks for taking my money out of the pocket before you washed my shorts” he said, holding out his hand for her to give him the money.
Abbey had no choice but to hand over the money that she had hoped to steal.
Joe took it and then went back to the living room without counting it.
Abbey stood frozen with fear, unable to believe that Joe would not realize what she had done. She was correct. Joe came back into the kitchen almost immediately.
“Abbey, where is the rest of the money?” he asked.
Abbey’s eyes darted to the washing machine, and Joe understood that his money was now in danger of being “laundered.”
“Abbey!” he shouted. “What have you done?”
With that, he walked swiftly to the washing machine and switched it off.
After a few minutes, when he was able to open the door of the machine, he reached in and took out his shorts. Ignoring the water that was dripping all over the floor, he searched the pockets and found the damp money that remained.
Abbey did not know what to do, say or where to look.

Abbey did not know what to do, say or where to look.
Joe stood gazing sternly at Abbey whose face was now scarlet with shame at her scheme having been discovered.
“What were you trying to do? Did you think you would get away with stealing my money?” Joe asked angrily.
Abbey was too ashamed to answer, but just stood meekly with her head bowed.
Joe did not ask Abbey any more questions, but instead he left the kitchen and went into the living room.
Slowly, Abbey realized that Joe had not ordered her to leave his apartment, and that perhaps he would not make her homeless in spite of what she had done. However, she knew that she had to apologize to the man who had been so kind to her and who had helped her by allowing her to live rent free and to save most of her salary. She knew that she had to apologize and try to make Joe believe how sorry she was about trying to steal his money.
So, taking a deep breath, she opened the kitchen door and went into the living room. Joe was sitting on the sofa and watching some basketball on TV as if nothing had happened. Slowly, Abbey crossed the room and spoke to him hesitantly.
“Joe” she said in a low voice.
“Mnmm?” he queried almost as if nothing had happened.
“Joe, I’m sorry. I don’t know what I was thinking…” Abbey’s voice trailed off as Joe continued to stare at the TV.
“Don’t worry about it. I’m not mad at you” Joe replied.
Then he pointed to the floor beside where he was sitting, and Abbey gratefully sat at his feet. She started to rub his legs as she usually did, but this time she had a sudden thought about how she could show Joe how sorry she was about her behaviour.
She bent down awkwardly and kissed Joe’s bare foot.
Then she looked up and said, “I’m sorry, really sorry. Let me show you how sorry I am.”
And as an act of penance, she bent down again and kissed his other foot. Now Abbey realized that she was actually living part of her fantasy even though Joe had not ordered her to kiss his feet. Nevertheless, she felt hot at the dirty act that she was doing. Joe said nothing, but he stretched his legs out, showing the soles of his feet, and Abbey saw this as a sign that he wanted her to kiss them. She did that and then she started to lick his feet thoroughly, intent on cleaning them completely.
As she did this, Joe reached his hand to rest on Abbey’s head and stroked her hair. Not a word was said by either of them as Abbey worked diligently on her self-appointed task of cleaning Joe’s feet. As Joe did not protest, Abbey decided that she would make sure that there was no dirt between his toes, and she poked her tongue delicately into the tight spaces between each pair of toes. Joe sighed, and Abbey’s heart beat faster when she realized that he was letting her know that she was pleasing him.
The pair sat like this, with Abbey continuing to lick Joe’s feet and occasionally sucking his toes, until Joe grunted and patted Abbey’s head.
“That’s enough girl” he said finally.
And Abbey reluctantly stopped. However, she was happy that she had partially fulfilled one of her fantasies, and she believed that she would have the opportunity to repeat what had just happened in the future.
What Abbey did not think about was to ask Joe why he had forgiven her, and how he wanted to punish her.
The answer that Joe would have given her if she had asked was that he had always wondered what it would be like to find a woman who he could treat as a slave, and he realized that he had power over Abbey because of her clumsy attempt to steal his money, so he did not see any reason to throw her out of his apartment.
Instead, now that Abbey had shown him her submissive side by licking and kissing his feet, his mind began to consider what else he could make this young woman do.
Because underneath his veneer of respectability, Joe was a pervert, with dark desires of his own.
The future was beginning to look interesting for both of them.
That night, Abbey did not sleep well. The events of the day kept running through her mind, and especially Joe’s reaction to her attempted theft, and her subsequent act of atonement by licking his feet. This last recollection was what excited Abbey most, as she wallowed in the feelings of humiliation, degradation and worthlessness that her actions had aroused.
Abbey knew that she needed to keep Joe happy so that he would not throw her out of his apartment. She needed money for her family, but losing her place to live would cause misery to her nieces as well as to herself. Abbey determined that she would do anything in order for that not to happen.
She was unsure how Joe would treat her when she saw him in the morning, but what she did not anticipate was his greeting to her when they met in the living room.
“Tell me, Abbey” said Joe. “Why did you try to steal my money? Why did you not ask me for it? And why do you need it?”
Abbey was embarrassed on hearing Joe’s questions, but she was even more embarrassed at Joe’s gentle tone when he asked his questions.
“I..I…that is…it’s my nieces…” Abbey could not continue, and she covered her face with her hands.
As she stood shielding her sad face from Joe’s gaze, she suddenly felt him patting her shoulder while he spoke softly to her.
“It’s ok, just tell me the truth” he said quietly.
Abbey could hardly believe that Joe was treating her so nicely after what she had tried to do. But his manner and his obvious wish to know the circumstances behind her attempted crime gave her courage to tell him about her troubles. So, she removed her hands from her face and started to tell Joe what lay behind her wrongful act.
Finally, she finished explaining why she had done what Joe had discovered, and she waited for his judgment. But instead of judgment or punishment, Joe took Abbey’s right hand with his left hand, and reaching into his pocket with his free hand, he laid a large number of dollar bills on the palm of her open right hand.
“You really should have asked me” he said. “But now you can use this money to help your family.”
Abbey could not believe what Joe had just said. She was sure that he would snatch the money away to punish her, but he did not. He just closed her hand around the money and turned away.
Abbey was overcome with emotion, and she burst into tears at Joe’s generous act. The man she had tried to rob was willing to help her and her family who he did not even know.
Joe half turned around at the sound of Abbey crying, and reassured her that everything was all right between them. Then he turned back as if he was going to leave the room.
Abbey was so grateful at hearing Joe’s kind words, and at his extremely generous treatment of her that she sank to her knees and, clutching his legs, she buried her face against the back of his shorts.
That was when she received a huge blast of fetid air in her nose as Joe let loose one of his enormous and malodorous farts.
That fart was yet another sign of what was in store for Abbey, if only she could see the future. For Joe had plans for her, plans that were twisted and perverted, and that would see her sink lower and lower into the depths of depravity, humiliation and servitude.
But all that was in the future.
Abbey’s immediate concern was to send the money to her sister-in-law and also to make sure that she was not late for work. So, she apologized to Joe yet again and rose to her feet. Then she quickly went to her room and started to dress for work.
The uniform for servers at Chow King was a red polo shirt and grey pants. Abbey dressed quickly and as she left the apartment she looked for Joe, but he was not in the living room, so she let herself out and walked quickly to work. There, she was soon immersed in the routine of the day, and she almost forgot about what had happened the night before and that morning. Almost, but not quite.
Joe came in as usual at about 9 am and joined his group of expat friends. Abbey went to ask him for his order and he gave it without any indication that something out of the ordinary had occurred between the two of them. Joe and his friends sat eating, drinking coffee and chatting for about an hour and then they all left. Abbey gratefully pocketed the tip that they left.
The morning continued as usual for Abbey, and when her shift ended at 6 pm, she rushed to the nearest Western Union office and sent money to her sister-in-law, although she kept $20 for herself. Then she made her way home to the apartment she shared with Joe.
The apartment was quiet when she opened the door, without the usual sound of the tv which led Abbey to think that Joe was not at home. She needed a shower after her long day at work and also after rushing through the sticky heat of the streets of Makati.
In her bedroom, she quickly stripped off her uniform and stepped out to go to the shower. As she assumed that Joe was not at home, she was wearing only her bra and panties to go to the bathroom. However, when she walked into the living room which she had to enter to get to the bathroom she was startled to see Joe coming out of his bedroom.
It was too late for her to go back, so she modestly crossed her arms across her boobs and tried to appear as if there was nothing unusual about the way she was dressed. Joe simply glanced at her casually as she walked to the bathroom. Abbey sighed with relief as she reached the bathroom door, but that is when she heard Joe speak.
“Abbey” Joe said in a quiet voice. “Don’t think that I have forgotten what you tried to do. You will have to be punished for attempting to steal my money.”
Abbey jumped in surprise on hearing Joe’s voice behind her.
“I…I…yes sir, I’m …. I really am sorry” Abbey was ashamed and embarrassed that Joe had seen her half undressed.
“I understand, sir” she finally managed to reply to what Joe had said.
Joe was delighted that he had caught Abbey wearing only her underwear because it gave him the opportunity to start to put his depraved plans in motion.
“The first thing” he said “is that in this apartment you are not allowed to wear more than you are wearing now. I mean that you will always be dressed in bra and panties when you are home, even if I am not here. Do you understand?”
Abbey could only nod her head in agreement as she stood frozen with her back turned to Joe.
“Turn around,” Joe ordered.
Hesitantly, Abbey turned around to face Joe. She was still clutching her boobs as she did so.
“Stop that!” Joe ordered abruptly.
Abbey immediately stopped turning around and wondered what Joe would say next.
“Take your hands away from there” Joe ordered. “I don’t want to see you trying to hide from me in future. Do you understand?”
Abbey nodded and slowly let her hands drop to her side.
“Now turn to face me”
Abbey obeyed but she blushed as she saw how Joe eyed her body up and down like a piece of meat that he was looking at in the butcher’s shop.
“Hmmm,” he said. “Not bad. This is all you are allowed to wear in future unless I tell you otherwise. Understood?”
Abbey nodded her agreement, afraid to open her mouth to question Joe’s demands. She knew that at any moment, he could throw her out on the street and she would be homeless and she would probably lose her job also. The harm that this would cause to her sister-in-law and her nieces was more than Abbey could bear to think about, so she did what Joe had ordered.
“When you come home from work, you will immediately take off your uniform and wash it. You will keep your bra and panties on. When the uniform is dry, you will iron it. Next morning you will wear it again. But between the time you enter this apartment and the time you leave to go to work, you will not wear anything except a bra and panties.”
“This is an order” Joe said quietly. “If you disobey and do not do what I tell you to do, I will punish you severely. Understood?”
Abbey nodded hopelessly. She shivered as she thought of all the nasty things that Joe might insist that she do. However, her shiver was half delight as well as half curiosity at what might happen next.
That fart was yet another sign of what was in store for Abbey, if only she could see the future. For Joe had plans for her, plans that were twisted and perverted, and that would see her sink lower and lower into the depths of depravity, humiliation and servitude.

Joe simply glanced at her casually as she walked to the bathroom. Abbey sighed with relief as she reached the bathroom door, but that is when she heard Joe speak.
For the next few days Abbey was very careful to obey Joe’s orders. As soon as she came home from work, she went to her room, took off her uniform, and clad only in bra and panties, she went to the kitchen to wash and dry her uniform. At first, she felt very self-conscious about going about her tasks of washing, cooking and cleaning while semi-nude. However, the feeling passed quite quickly, and before long Abbey was almost unaware of only wearing underwear even while Joe was at home.
But Joe was very aware of how Abbey looked in her bra and panties.
She looked good in his eyes, but he planned to make her look even sexier by buying her underwear himself.
Abbey was unaware of what Joe was planning as she became comfortable with wearing very little in the apartment.
One thing that did not change was Abbey sitting at Joe’s feet and rubbing his legs. Joe was happy to see that Abbey did not need him to tell her to assume this position of subservience at his feet. However, in spite of her previous act of contrition when she licked his feet, Abbey did not voluntarily repeat her act of abasement.
Joe soon changed that.
“Abbey, when you are sitting at my feet, you also have to lick them and clean between my toes” Joe said, after Abbey had been rubbing his legs for about 15 minutes.
Abbey was ashamed that Joe had to remind her about her duty, and she immediately lifted his right leg so that his foot was level with her mouth. Lowering her mouth to Joe’s dusty foot, Abbey began to lick and suck his toes, cleaning off all the grime from the street. Although Joe was a clean person, walking the streets of Makati in sandals was enough to make his feet require cleaning when he returned home. Joe was aware of this and usually made sure that he washed his feet using the toilet hand spray as soon as he came home. However, now that he had started to bend Abbey to his will, he had decided that he would make her clean his dusty and sweaty feet with her tongue.
And Abbey assiduously bent to the task that Joe had assigned to her, grateful that he was not going to throw her out on the street. When she had finished with Joe’s right foot, having carefully explored between his toes, Abbey repeated the task on his left foot. However, to do so she had to shift her position from sitting on Joe’s right side to kneeling in front of him.
This was why when she had finally completed the nasty job of licking the dirt from the street off Joe’s feet, Abbey found herself kneeling like a worshiper in front of her God. At least that was the thought that flashed into Abbey’s mind as she realized where she was and what her position was.
And she felt a thrill run through her body as she held on to that thought.
“Abbey” Joe said in a quiet voice. “Don’t think that I have forgotten what you tried to do. You will have to be punished for attempting to steal my money.”
Abbey jumped in surprise on hearing Joe’s voice behind her.
“I…I…yes sir, I’m …. I really am sorry” Abbey was ashamed and embarrassed that Joe had seen her half undressed.
“I understand, sir” she finally managed to reply to what Joe had said.
