“I-I'm sorry about that. I got a little...carried away.” Kati apologised, looking embarrassed.

She felt rather ashamed after tormenting the other dragon's paws, having licked and tickled her until she cried, but the other dragon's face showed that she shouldn't have been ashamed at all. Isabelle, a large, fairly intimidating-looking purple dragoness when not trapped in bondage, was giving her a cute, blushing smile, looking quite happy considering she was being tortured two minutes ago. She spoke up using her very soft, pleasant voice.

“Oh no...please, don't apologise. No one has ever teased me like that before...” she said, her cheeks growing redder.

“Um..is that a good thing?” Kati replied.

“Oh yes! I've been living here for just over two years now and that was one of the best sessions I've ever had! I was surprised that the mistress said you were a newbie, you certainly seem to have experience using that mouth of yours...” Isabelle's facial expression was growing more flirtatious. “Come with me, I can walk you to the reception area so you can find out where you'll be staying!”

Kati followed Isabelle out of the room, thankful that she hadn't made a fool of herself by giving in to her urges. The corridors of the building were much fancier than the individual rooms. Whereas the rooms seemed to be bland and hard-floored, the corridors were decorated with posh-looking wallpaper and a variety of ornaments, with the floor covered in a velvet carpet that felt lovely beneath her soft paws. Kati spoke up, trying to keep the conversation going.

“They certainly seem to put more effort into these areas rather than the rooms...”

“Don't let that room we were just in fool you. The living quarters are always well-kept and comfortable, cleaned every day! These areas we are walking past now are the Play Rooms.”

“Play Rooms?” Kati questioned.

“Well, they are usually the Play Rooms, sometimes they are Punishment Rooms and on rare occasions they are Ordeal Rooms. They are the three different levels of session you could have, but you'll pick up all that stuff after you've lived here for a few days. You've just taken part in a Punishment session, even if you were on the other end, and I assume your initiation was a Play session.”

“OK then what exactly is a...”

“Oh! Hey! We're already at reception!” Isabelle interrupted, shouting at an elderly-looking dragon receptionist. “Ozi, this dragoness here is new, she needs to get her room keys!” 

“Oh aye, I've been told to look oot for a new lass, I'll go an' grab em for ye.” replied the receptionist, Ozi. Kati had never heard a dragon with a Scottish accent before, she barely had any idea of what he was saying. As Ozi left the area to fetch the keys, Isabelle grabbed a small leaflet from the reception desk and handed it to Kati.

“You'd better read this, Kati. It's the official Claw House Behaviour Contract. The rules, basically.”

Kati looked at the leaflet, which was laid out in a simple list format on plain white paper.
“CLAW HOUSE BEHAVIOUR CONTRACT

All dragons residing at Claw House must abide by a behaviour contract laid out by the Masters and Mistresses of the House. The behaviour contract is in place to ensure that you are acting in the way that is required by the House. As you are being given free accommodation and meals paid for by the Masters and Mistresses, a violation of the behaviour contract is taken very seriously and the Masters and Mistresses reserve the right to enact an appropriate form of corporal punishment on any dragon or dragoness found to be in breach of the contract. This is at the discretion of the respective Master or Mistress.

Of course, Claw House also places rules upon it's staff. We are a house for dragons with paw fetishes. This means that you surrender your lower extremities, both your fore-paws and your hind-paws, to your respective Master or Mistress. It is your paws/feet that will be the recipient of any form of Play, Punishment or Ordeal. If your Master or Mistress touches any other part of your body, this is a violation of the Staff Code and you have the right to report them to the head DRAGON of the House, Sir Alun.

The following acts are considered violations of your Behaviour Contract, and are seperated into four different levels of severity.

LEVEL 1 VIOLATIONS:
-Using inappropriate language in the vicinity of your Master or Mistress.
-Not maintaining an appropriate level of personal hygiene.
-Failing to report to your Master or Mistress once.
-Any accidental damage or vandalism to Claw House property.

Level 1 Violations will be punished via both a verbal and written warning from your Master or Mistress. If the same violation is performed twice, you will be upgraded to a Level 2.

LEVEL 2 VIOLATIONS:
-Bullying or threatening any other resident or staff member of the House.
-Stealing property from any other resident or staff member of the House.
-Being found in living quarters of the opposite gender.
-Being found on House grounds performing any sexual/fetish acts, including those involving paws/feet, outside of private living quarters or Play Rooms.
-Deliberately damaging/vandalising Claw House property.

Level 2 Violations will require a Punishment Session, to be carried out by your respective Master or Mistress, or any dragon or dragoness they choose to assist. This should be between 30 minutes to an hour in length and using extreme or extended forms of the torture techniques that have been found to be effective to that resident in Play Sessions.

LEVEL 3 VIOLATIONS:
-Physically attacking any other resident or staff member of the House in a way that leaves physical marks and has not been consented to during private play.
-If a physical fight occurs between two residents and it is proved that one resident was provoked by the other, the dragon or dragoness who provoked the fight will be performing a Level 3 Violation, but the other participant will be downgraded to a Level 2.
-Threatening any other resident or staff member of the House in a way that is a direct threat to the safety of their lives.

Level 3 Violations will require a Level 3 Ordeal. This will last exactly 12 hours to be carried out by Sir Alun.

LEVEL 4 VIOLATIONS:
- Sexually assaulting any other resident or staff member of the House.
- Permanently injuring or traumatising any other resident or staff member of the House.

Level 4 Violations will require a Level 4 Ordeal, lasting a minimum of 24 hours with the exact length at the discretion of Sir Alun.

Any actions which are deemed to be even more serious than a Level 4 Violation mean that you, as a resident, surrender your right to a good quality of life and will be kept for an undetermined amount of time as a torture slave of Sir Alun and your respective Master or Mistress. Please note that this has never had to happen in the history of Claw House and a full investigation and hearing will be carried out before this decision is made in the event that it does happen.

If you have any queries, talk to Ozi at Reception.

Yours,

Sir Alun
Head of Claw House”

“Don't worry about that too much, in the two years I've been here I've never seen a Level 4 happen and a Level 3 has only happened once.” Isabelle said, trying to re-assure Kati who was looking more worried as she read onwards.

“What did that dragon do?”

“You mean the Level 3, oh, she got into a massive fight in the dining area. Serious, claws-out type of stuff and it got pretty messy.”

“And was she the one who clearly provoked it?”

“Um...yeah...well, she kinda called the other dragon a cunt.”

“It was you, wasn't it?” Kati asked, noticing that Isabelle's facial expressions were giving it away.

“...Yeah...”

“What the hell do they do to you in whatever an Ordeal is?”

“Stuff that they know will break you. Stuff that you have shown an aversion to in play or punishment sessions, it usually involves a lot of foot pain. Have you ever had your feet whipped, pricked and electrocuted for 12 hours straight?”

“Uh...no.”

“Don't, it fucking hurts. And don't say it fucking hurts either cause thats a Level 1.”

The conversation was cut short by the receptionist returning with a key.

“A' hope you two lasses are friendly, cause you're livin' wae each other. New lass is in Room 03-F.”
Kati couldn't understand a word but Isabelle immediately had a huge grin on her face.

“Wow, what a coincidence! You're my new roommate, Kati!”

Kati was quite relieved to hear this, as she had grown quite fond of Isabelle from the 30 minutes they have spent with each other.

“Cool! At least I won't be living with a complete stranger!”

“Yayyyy!” Isabelle said excitedly “You go and make yourself comfy, it's on the third floor on your left. I'll go to the canteen and get us both something to eat, it's on me!”

Kati travelled up to the third floor using the elevator and found Room 03-F pretty quickly. Upon opening the door, she was surprised about how spacious the place was. Two double-sized beds were on opposite corners of the room, with a work desk containing what was presumably Isabelle's laptop . The wallpaper was the same as in the corridors, but the carpet was a lot rougher on her feet. Kati jumped straight on her bed and cuddled her fresh bedsheets, getting used to where she would be sleeping for the future. It only felt like a couple of minutes before Isabelle arrived with some hot food on plates in tow.

“Food's up! I got us some meatballs in gravy! Normally they do chips with them aswell but they must have run out, sorry...” Isabelle placed the plate on the end of Kati's bed before sitting herself down and beginning to eat.

“That's fine, thanks. This room is a lot bigger than I thought it would be, are they all like this?”

“Yeah! Every resident is treated equal here so we all get the same living quarters, there's enough room in here to have some friends round for a games night!” Isabelle replied with meatballs in her mouth.

“Do you have many friends here?”

“Well...1 or 2 other dragonesses. There are a few boys I'm friendly with too but we aren't allowed in each others rooms so I just to chat to them during lunch. You'll most likely get your first play session tomorrow and you can meet plenty of new people if you are in a group session. Of course, myself, I prefer solo sessions, a bit of one-to-one time with my mistress.”

“I sure hope so, I met two really great dragonesses during my initiation, I'd love to chat with them again!” Kati replied. Isabelle looked like she was about to respond but something else caught her eye at the end of Kati's bed.

“Um...are you going to eat your food, Kati?”

“Huh..oh! Yeah! Sure, I forgot I had food, I'm just so nervous I'm not really that hungry!”

“Well, you might want to lift your foot out of it then.”

Kati was confused but then noticed that her left foot was coming into contact with something slimy, before looking down and saw that she had accidentally pushed it into her plate of food. Several of the meatballs had been squished under her sole and the warm, sticky gravy rose up between her toes. She curled her toes a few times, feeling the gooey substance squirt and bubble between them, before lifting her foot out of it.
“Whoops. I didn't even notice!” Kati said before beginning to blush. “...kinda feels good.”

“Keep your foot up, I'll get that for you!” Isabelle said before getting up off her own bed, going over and grabbing Kati's ankle.

“Really, you don't have to do that! I can clean it myself!” Kati shouted.

“You gave my feet a good licking back in the punishment room. Common courtesy means I should serve you back, and what better time to do it than when they come with a tasty side order!” Isabelle replied and didn't leave a single moment for Kati to respond before putting her mouth over the arches of Kati's foot.

She began to lick and slurp at the middle of Kati's sole, lapping up the warm gravy, although something about her ecstatic moaning told Kati that it wasn't the gravy she was enjoying the most. Her mouth travelled all over the sticky, scaly sole, always both sucking and licking at the same time  across her arches, heels and toes. Kati simply stayed silent and savoured the feeling of both the gooey gravy and the wet tongue stimulating her sole. It only took about three minutes for all of the gravy to disappear from the foot, but Isabelle did not look one bit like she was ready to stop licking.

“I dunno about you, but I'm still hungry!” She said, briefly taking her mouth away from Kati's hind-paw.

“Well, you can have my plate if you wa..w...woah! Hey!” Kati's response was cut short as she felt Isabelle grab both her ankles, push her feet together, and force them into the plate of food. Kati began to moan involuntarily at the warm, gooey feeling as both of her feet were pushed into the plate, forcing all of the warm gravy to squelch around , all six of her toes becoming coated by the gravy rising up between them. Almost all of the meatballs had been squished into a mess of pulped meat that almost felt like they were massaging Kati's soles as they were flattened underneath them. Isabelle used her claw-tips to stop Kati's toes from wiggling in the gravy and pushing them deeper into it, with the substance rising so far up her small, petite toes that it began to spill over, coating the tops of them in gravy also.

“Squishing my scaly feet into some nice, sticky, gooey stuff is one of my favourite sensations.” said Isabelle, “But it's nothing compared to having that stuff licked off.”

Isabelle kept putting pressure on her toes as she began to passionately lick the tops of her feet for about a minute, before lifting her feet out of the plate and not leaving a seconds' hesitation before maniacally sucking and licking all over her messy paws. The sensation was so comforting to Kati that she was beginning to fall asleep, and her feet were coated so heavily in food that it would be a long time before Isabelle stopped.

“Mmm...oh..that feels nice. your tongue is smooth, Isabelle.” she said softly.

Isabelle was quite busy with her licking, but took time between licks to reassure Kati.

“We've got the rest of the night free...we can have our own play session...your feet are all mine.”
