Chapter 3
Thursday. Preparations

Having unlocked the door of the pen, the steward orders Toby and his fellow slaves out into the passageway and commands then to line up four abreast in front of him. Then, he instructs his two assistants to unfasten the slaves' wrists and to remove their gags.

Free of these restrictions, the four slaves exercise their arms and jaws in an effort to relieve their cramped muscles. The steward waits patiently before speaking.

"Let me tell you what is to happen to you," he says not unkindly - for after all, he is a slave like them - albeit a "privileged" one. "First we will give you food and water and then get you ready".

"Get us ready for what?" Toby asks.

"Why, for your inspections, of course".

"What inspections? What's going to happen to us?"

"I thought that would be obvious to you. Look! Your master has sent you here to be sold and my master has arranged for some of his special clients to come and inspect you before you go to auction on Saturday. You two..." the steward points to Toby and the black-haired slave, "...have clients coming to examine you today. If you're lucky you might be sold privately. At least that will save you the distress of mounting the auction block."

"I'm sure my master will realise his mistake and take me home soon". Toby replies hopefully.

"I wouldn't count on it, friend". The steward offers. "Last evening, I overheard my master talking on the phone about you, to one of his clients. It sounds as if your master is in need of urgent cash. The prices he'd hoped to get for these three," indicating the three younger slaves, "isn't enough for his purposes and he's decided to sell you to make up the shortfall" Toby's spirits sink at the steward's words. "My advice to you is to forget your old master and to concentrate on pleasing the buyers who are coming to inspect you today and tomorrow. Anyway my job is to make sure that you are made presentable for them. But first let's get you all fed and watered."

Hungrily, the four slaves devour their ration of two slave biscuits each, and the steward instructs his assistants to "Give them an extra one each. They have a long day ahead of them and they'll need all their energy."

With their stomachs still rumbling, the four slaves gratefully eat the extra ration of food and follow it up by thirstily gulping down the water they are given.

Now fed and watered the four slaves are herded through a door into an adjacent room where there are two more naked, attendant slaves waiting for them. It is a room unlike any that Toby has seen before. Its walls and floor are lined with tiles that had once been pristine white. Now however, they are a dingy, grey-white colour and streaked with rust. Running down the centre of the floor is a rank-smelling, open drain and adjacent to this, a number of open drop toilets set into the floor.

Along one wall are several wooden benches, trestles and chairs; their purpose is lost on the four slaves. Adjacent to the drop toilets are water taps and hoses. Toby instantly recognises the enema nozzles attached to the ends of the hoses. He is no stranger to these and had used one very similar as he prepared himself for his master's bed. And, hanging from the ceiling is an assortment of chains and manacles.

The whole room has a stagnant, putrid smell and an overall filthy appearance. It is the preparation room where slaves are made ready either for display or for sale. Tomorrow, it will be much used as the new slaves from the north are prepared for auction the next day.

Today, however, it is Toby and his three fellow slaves who are to be made ready.

The steward, aided by his two assistants, orders the four slaves to squat over the drop toilets and empty their bladders and bowels. This mortifies Toby who has always enjoyed a degree of privacy because of his relationship to his master. Now he finds himself reduced to the same level as the three young slaves and joins them in a very public surrounding, for the emptying of his bladder and the voiding of his bowels. Toby is overcome with embarrassment. Uninhibited by any such embarrassment, the three young slaves quickly finish and leap to their feet. Toby is now aware that all eyes are turned on him as he pisses and strains unsuccessfully to empty his bowels.

"Can't you shit? Your nerves got you, have they?" The steward asks Toby. "Never mind, we'll flush it out of you. Let's have you up on your feet. QUICKLY NOW!"

His face, red with shame, Toby stands and waits for the steward's instructions.

Now the four slaves are once more lined up, alongside each other, and the steward begins an examination of them. He instructs his assistants to remove the leather bindings from around the genitals of the three younger slaves and, when this is done, their cocks and balls are teased out so that they hang loose.

Moving down the line, he runs his hands down the fronts of the three young slaves before turning them around and examining their backs. Finally satisfied, he instructs his assistants. "These three", he tells them, "don't require too much attention. They were prepared for the master's evaluation yesterday. They're to keep their body hair; that way, their new masters will have the option to keep them 'as is' or to shave them smooth. Just shave their faces and make sure there aren't any stray hairs on their ball sacks or around their holes. Then flush them out, shower them, buff them, and lubricate them. And fit each of them with a "display ring".

Facing Toby he tells his assistants.

"This one is to get the full body works. The master wants him totally smooth. So starting at the top and working down, crop his hair back to a proper slave haircut, make sure his face is clean shaven and remove all the hair from his chest, belly, arms and legs. And there's to be no hair left in his armpits, around his genitals or between the cheeks of his buttocks".

"Please don't do that," Toby pleads.

"It's not my choice. I have my orders from my master. As I said he wants you totally smooth for your inspections and I'm instructed to remove all your body hair."

"Why?" Toby asks.

"Why? That way, you'll present better to the master's clients."

With an easy practise born of experience, the assistant slaves eagerly set to work in carrying out the steward's orders. Of their many duties this is one they perform with the most enthusiasm; for here they have unfettered access to the bodies of the slaves they are "processing". Under the guise of preparing the four slaves for inspection, their hands are free to roam over the bodies of their charges. Already they are sporting massive erections in anticipation.

They begin by administering enemas to the four slaves. Eagerly, the nozzles are inserted into the resisting anuses and the taps turned on. Then, the four slaves are made to squat over a toilet and expel the contents of their bowels. This process is repeated as the steward watches each slave's "expulsion" until he is satisfied that all the slaves are "running clean." Once satisfied, he gives the order to continue.

After the face of each of the slave is shaved, Toby is separated from his companions and forced to his knees. His eyes fill with tears as his long, curly hair is roughly cut to a proper slave crop. Now, he is introduced to the "furnishings" he noticed on first entering the room.

He is made to lie, full length and on his back, on one of the trestles whilst his body hair is removed. The assistants work quickly under the watchful eye of the steward who directs their efforts. Toby winces as the razors move over his chest and belly and remove the hair from his armpits. Special attention is then given to the thick bush in which his genitals nestle. Firstly, this is cut back close to the skin and then smoothly shaven. He flinches as he feels the cold steel of the razor sliding down the shaft of his cock. He holds his breath as his dick is lifted up and held out of the way as his balls are attended to. Then it is the turn of his arms and legs. Finally he is ordered into a kneeling position and to spread his legs. Now he suffers the indignity of having the hair removed from his arse-crack and from around his hole. Now finished, the assistants stand back as the steward begins an examination of Toby's shaven body testing it for smoothness and looking for any stray hairs.

Toby blushes as his buttocks are prised apart and a finger slowly moves up and down his cleft. The ever-vigilant steward manages to find one or two wayward hairs which are quickly removed by one of the admonished assistants. Toby is ordered off of the table and to stand at "display" with his hands held behind his head. Expertly, the steward runs his hands over the freshly shaven body and declares his satisfaction.

"You look really good. The master will be pleased. Nothing is hidden from the buyers, which is as he wants you when you are displayed."

Toby for his part, feels this nakedness like no other that he has experienced. As a slave he is used to enforced nudity; in fact, if he is truthful he has always enjoyed his nakedness. This was especially so when in the presence of his owner. He knew that Andy always enjoyed looking at his body and he took pride in his master's appreciation of him. Whenever he was aware that his master was looking, Toby would surreptiously flex his muscles and pose his body in ways that he knew gave Andy pleasure. Now, without his body hair, his body isn't just naked; it is denuded. Slowly tears of humiliation trickle down his face.

The attendants now hustle the four slaves under the showers and gleefully begin to wash them. The slaves feel soapy hands gliding over their bodies and exploring their most intimate and private places. As Toby's genitals and arse are lovingly soaped and caressed he feels his cock stirring into a full erection. The attendant washing him is delighted and draws the steward's attention to his hard-on.

"That's quite a show you're putting on," the steward laughingly tells Toby. "If you do that when the master's clients inspect you, I doubt that you'll make it to the auction block."

Once out of the showers, the four slaves are quickly dried and rubbed down with an herbal, body lotion to disguise any body odours. Finally, they are made to bend at the waist and their holes are "lubed".

The steward tells them. "You'll appreciate that once the clients start shoving their fingers up you."

Quickly the four slaves are fitted with brass "display" rings that force their genitals into prominence. Toby is acutely aware that his cock is now resting on top of his balls and that if feels heavier than usual. Looking down he is surprised at how large they all look without the surrounding hair.

The steward instructs two of his assistants to return the blond slaves to their pen "as the master hasn't managed to schedule a viewing for them." The other two assistants are instructed to fasten Toby's and the black-haired slave's wrists to the back of their collars and to take them to the display rooms.
