I seized on her confusion and quickly tossed her the latex stockings with instructions to put them on. I took more photos as she pulled them up her legs and fastened them to the garters of the bustier. (Mdom/F, mc, huml, bd, rom) *** Prologue: Just a Quiet Burger As I neared the state border I turned off the highway and towards the golden arches of an all night McDonalds. When I'd planned the route the month before this had seemed the best place to stop, food bought from here would still be warm when I parked up to change the plates. I parked towards the back of the lot close to one of the lights. I figured no one would be likely to park close by, I'd taken a lot of trouble to ensure that she was tightly gagged and that she was tied in such a way that she couldn't attract any attention. Still it paid to go to a little extra trouble and it also reduced the chances of some passer by spotting my home made tags. I still felt nervous and unsure, copying a stranger's tags so that you don't have to cruising a neighborhood with out of state plates is smart thinking and pays off when the jobs over and the cops are looking for clues. Yet I couldn't help feeling that this would be the night the idiot got his car stolen or his wife was rushed to hospital and that every cop in the state would be after that license. I was at most twenty minutes from the layover when I could switch mine back, I hoped to stay lucky that long. I got out and pantomimed looking for my wallet so that I could hang around near the trunk. Nothing, not a peep. I have to say that I started to worry, maybe she'd choked or something. She was a smart girl, a college student, she must see her situation, bound and gagged in the trunk of a car being taken who knows where, her best chance is when we stop. Then, just when I was about to panic and open the trunk I heard it, a faint muffled cry, so soft at first I thought it was imagination. I listened and there it was again full of desperation and hope, saying just one thing 'Help me.' Satisfied that she couldn't be heard more than a few feet away I 'found' my wallet and headed towards the doors. She was smart all right, she'd waited until she thought I'd gone before making any noise. A good idea spoiled only by the tiny amount of noise she could make. In some ways I was pleased, she was living up nicely to my expectations. The McDonalds was almost deserted, and was just about to switch to cooking to order. My fellow patrons consisted of a couple of truck drivers and a state trooper. I have to confess that threw me at first, but from conversations between him and the staff it appeared he stopped off here every night after his shift. I ignored him and carried on. I got them to refill my coffee flask for 'later' and took a coke and the quarter pounders they had left as I didn't want to wait around for them to cook my order. The trooper said his good-byes and it was with some relief that I saw him drive away. Once my order was filled I too hit the road nerves on edge but keeping to a nice legal fifty as I headed towards the layover. I ran through all the events of the past few days again to see if there was anything that could tie me, Richard Cody successful thirty-something computer journalist, with Caroline Conway the struggling eighteen year old psych major currently in my trunk... I can't exactly say when the idea of taking a sex slave first came to me. I suppose every man who has ever been lead on by a woman harbors certain fantasies, any guy with a female boss, any guy stood up or embarrassed or humiliated. What I suppose made me different from "any guy" was that I had been provided with the means, both financially and practically to carry out those fantasies and make them real. I could have a woman who couldn't say no, one over which I would have total control. I suppose in reality this started six months ago. At the time I was dating Samantha Prescott, former model and an assistant editor at Vogue. I must confess that I had fallen, she was lovely of course, but she also had an elegance and charm which completely won me over. I suppose I read more into the relationship that she did, certainly I was ready to commit. I was at that time building a house in New England and contemplating the Great American Novel. Then out of the blue she called everything off, the next time I saw her was in a tabloid escorting some baseball star to the Grammies. When she finally answered my calls she as good as told me that I was just a fashion accessory, that literary men had been a feature of the Fall season and that now that Spring was here she and her friends preferred more "physical" escorts. About a month later one of my editors called and suggested that I did a blab piece on computer porn. The newspapers and television were in a feeding frenzy about girlie pics on bulletin boards and S&M on the internet. Apparently a company in San Diego was marketing an S&M Multimedia CD-ROM, and had just won a court battle to allow its distribution. With some reluctance I'd agreed, chiefly because the Samantha thing had caused me to fall behind with my column. A few days later the CD arrived. By then I'd done the few thousand words of condemnation required by my middle class publisher but I thought I'd try it anyway just to get some specific quotes. In the game you play "Dak Forest" a porno film actor. When the costar of his next flick "Nympho Nurses From Hell" is kidnapped by a Colombian drug cartel, Dak has only three days to rescue her and save the movie. The script was poor, the video clips included painful acting and in the course of the game just about every female character ends up bound and gagged either naked or in some kinky outfit. Part way through the game a character is introduced called Samantha Pressman, she is the editor of a fashion magazine who is kidnapped by the cartel and turned into the nymphomaniac sex slave Kitty, who acts as Dak's sidekick from then on. To anyone who knew her the similarities between this character and Sam Prescott where overwhelming, the actress even looked a lot like her. I found myself playing the same section again and again. Sam kneels before Dak and begs him to whip her, spank her, humiliate her. Dak of course refuses, but that and some of Sam's heavier scenes kept me hooked on the CD weeks after my article was printed. I started to ask myself if it was really that difficult to take a woman and make her your sex slave. I had a secluded house with a large basement that I'd originally designed as a computer lab. I had few friends who lived nearby so impromptu visits were unlikely. In addition I had the money and the time to make it work. Suddenly it became clear what I should do. I couldn't take Sam of course, the history of our relationship was too well known. For a wild second I even considered taking 'Kitty' and driving her back from California. In the end I realized that I needed a woman with whom I had no contact, a complete stranger preferably from some distance away so that the police investigation wouldn't get too close to home. I looked at a map and selected a college town about three hundred miles from my home. Colleges mean young female students a good starting point for the selection of a slave... By now I'd reached the turnoff I'd been waiting for. This lead down a tree lined lane into a wooded hollow. I had come across the place by accident whilst scouting out the area a few months before and could hardly believe that I'd found somewhere so perfect. I'd spent a couple of nights here to assure myself that this wasn't the local lovers lane, or the favorite route of poachers. In the end however I had to accept that it was what it appeared to be, a rough dirt road leading to a small wood, and that the place was deserted at night. I drove carefully into the hollow, this wasn't the night to slide into a ditch or have a flat. I assured myself that we were far enough from the road and that no one was watching. Finally I got out, went to the back of the car and opened the trunk. Two large, frightened blue eyes stared back at me over the mass of Ace bandage that covered her lower face. The bandage was tight and her cheeks bulged out over it, in places there was a flash of silver where the bandage failed to cover the duct tape underneath. She made a mewing sound and started to struggle, I carefully checked her bonds. In a sense we were both acting out our roles, she as victim, I as kidnapper, we both knew she couldn't get free. She was dressed in the same outfit she had worn that morning to her Saturday job, a fairly expensive blue blazer and skirt, a white blouse, heels and stockings. I had pulled her long blond hair back into a kind of ponytail and secured it with some rubber bands, it cascaded onto her back like a horse's mane. I had considered removing the blazer before tying her but this power dressing had reminded me of Samantha, so instead I had added to the ensemble. Her ankles where cuffed, good solid black leather bondage cuffs bought from a sex shop in New York, in many ways they matched her pumps and proved I could "Accessorize". At the moment they were fastened together with a padlock and linked by a long leather strap to her wrists. Smaller straps clinched her legs together just above and just below the knees effectively immobilizing them. I had done the same at her elbows but had used duct tape to secure her wrists and hands. Even her fingers where covered in a mass so thick it appeared that she was clutching a bowling ball. As well as securing her hands the mass also stopped another leather strap from biting into her wrists and it was this strap that was also secured to her ankles. After checking everything was secure I removed the strap that formed the hogtie. She groaned with relief and started to straighten her legs. I grabbed her by the arms and pulled her clear, then slung her over my shoulder and carried her round to the open passenger door and placed her inside. Closing the door I entered via the drivers door. For a second we sat looking at each other, then she started to struggle and I went back to the job in hand. "Stop that!" She turned and looked at me, her eyes framing a silent question. "No I'm not going to kill you if you don't force me to. If I'd wanted to kill or rape you I could have done it back in that alley and saved myself a lot of trouble. Now stop struggling, you've been alone in the trunk for the last three hours, if you couldn't get free then what chance do you have with me here?" She stopped and sat watching me with a nervous expression on her face. "Look, I have a proposal to make, we've got a long way to go and things are going to get quite unpleasant for you unless we can come to some arrangement." She continued to listen, her large accusing eyes watching me. "You probably need the john and you must be thirsty. I have a drink for you and some food. For you to eat it I have to remove the gag, you can scream all you want out here and no one will hear you, all you'll do is piss me off, clear?" She looked out of the car window at the quiet secluded woods. "Is that clear!" I snapped. She turned back to me and nodded, her ponytail bobbing behind her. "Ok, I want you to promise that IF I remove the gag, you'll let me replace it again when it's time to go. You'll be quiet, you'll eat the food then we'll head off again." She looked at me incredulously and I began to realize just what expressive eyes she had. "I suggest you think about this, you weren't able to stop me gagging you in the first place, and you won't be able to stop me now, all you'll do is force me to hurt you. Besides cause me trouble now and we simply don't stop until we get were we're going, I know which of us will suffer most." I could see the calculations in her eyes, here was definitely a bad place for her with no chance of rescue. I could see her thinking that the next stop may offer more possibilities and that she shouldn't blow it now. At length she nodded. "So let's check that we're clear on this. The gag comes out, no screaming or carrying on, you eat then you let me gag you again with no trouble?" Again she nodded so I told her to bend down whilst I undid the bandage. Pushing the ponytail away I worked on the knot then I unwound the bandage and dumped it on the floor. She started to protest when I started pulling the duct tape free but at last I removed it and the dense sponge rubber ball that packed her mouth. She licked her dry lips, "Water?" she croaked. I put the straw to her lips and she started to drink greedily. Finally she stopped and looked up at me, "Why are you doing this?" she asked looking at me with those big expression filled eyes. "Shut up," I said, "I didn't say you could talk." "You didn't say I couldn't." "You'll learn," I said and reached for the sponge ball. "No!" She said quickly, "Look I'm sorry. I'll be quiet, promise!" Without a word I held the first burger to her lips and she started to eat. There continued a strange silence until she was finished. I reached back, plucked the toy bag from behind her seat and started to root around inside. At length I found what I wanted and pulled out her collar. Seeing it she started to protest but then she caught my eye and sat meekly as I locked it around her neck. Then I pulled out a leather gag, this time she couldn't stop herself. "What..." "It's your gag." "But I thought..." She nodded towards the sponge ball. "That design is very effective but the adhesive from the tape damages the skin. This is a better long term solution. Now open wide." "But..." "Are you breaking your promise?" "No but..." "Then open up!" She sighed resigned to her fate and opened her mouth to let me put the gag inside, then she bent forward as I secured the straps. The gag had a wide padded leather section that covered her lips and a strap that tightly fastened around her head. I could tell that she'd worked out that the ball in her mouth was a lot smaller that the last one. She made a number of muffled sounds that were much quieter that they should be. I think she thought that I'd overestimated the gag's effectiveness and she could exploit that later. I reached into the bag and got the pump. At first she didn't recognize what it was and it was only when the ball in her mouth started to inflate that she realized the truth. Eyes wide and bulging she started to protest, her whines becoming steadily more muffled as the ball inflated. When I was satisfied that she was gagged as effectively as before I replaced the pump in the bag and withdrew the padded leather blindfold that matched the gag. She spotted this and wanted nothing to do with it she shook her head, struggled and whined as I strapped it in place. I pulled back and she sat there shaking. Deprived of sight she felt even more vulnerable. Her almost covered face, gag and blindfold scanned the car as if waiting for something to happen. I left the car and walked around to the passenger side with the bag. Opening the door I swung her bound legs out and clipped a short length of chain between the D rings of her ankle cuffs. I removed the padlock joining the cuffs and then the two leather straps leaving her legs free but hobbled at the ankles. Then I secured another chain to her collar to act as a leash and pulled her upright. A little unsteadily she followed me to a tree where I secured the leash to a low branch. "I'm going to leave you here while you pee is that clear?" She tried to say something. "The panties?" She nodded, "No problem." She squealed as my knife cut them off. I watched her squat against the tree then returned to the car. In the trunk next to the spare wheel was my license plate, with some relief I removed my clever fakes and replaced the legal ones. I watched while she shivered by the tree. I wasn't concerned, even if she somehow slipped the leash she couldn't get far in a wood blindfolded and hobbled. At length I collected her and returned her to the trunk. I re- secured her legs and hog-tied them back to her wrists. She moaned and struggled back to her role as victim. "Hey sweetheart." Her leather covered face turned towards me. "I'm not a bad guy I know it can be boring in here. I have some entertainment for you." With one quick motion I slipped the vibrator into her pussy and turned it on low. A strangled moan came from behind the gag and she started to struggle as I secured her knees and trapped the buzzing intruder inside her. The moans and groans continued but the hogtie deprived her of the movement necessary to remove it, if of course that was her intention. Her hips moved as much as they could and muffled moans came from behind the gag. Once again I tucked the blankets around her for sound insulation and shut the trunk. In the eerie silence of the woods I could still hear her faint moans. Satisfied that the vibrator, with its long life batteries, would keep her distracted until we returned home I returned to the drivers seat and drank my coffee... Chapter 1: The Selection and Capture of a Slave. It had been fate that delivered her to me. I discovered that a small software house was holding a product demo in the town I'd selected as my hunting ground. A small startup company made up of young graduates, they where based near the university. I was preparing another blab piece on innovation in the computer industry and so had an excuse to go, it seemed like a good opportunity to scout around. I think the company had been surprised when I accepted, I was the only recognized hack that had bothered to attend. In any case they were all over me, I got a private demo and enough disks and promotional material to supply the whole press corps. They were keen young men desperate to make a good impression. One even showed me the local night life and over some beers he told me of the best student hangouts, information which I stored away for later. The next day was to have been the main demo and having seen the package already I had intended to send my apologies and use the time to check out prospective targets. In the end however I elected to turn up for at least the first half hour. They had hired a couple of girls from a local modeling agency to look pretty during the presentation. Neither was exactly what I was looking for but on a whim I hung around until lunch to practice my stalking skills. The girls headed off downtown to a small restaurant where they met with friends. It was here that I first saw her, tall, shapely, blond, Caroline. With a decent makeup job and some reasonable clothes she could have made a good living on the modeling circuit. As it was she had a fairly poor dress sense, which reduced her from stunning to just good looking. I knew then that this was the one I wanted. Not only could I train her as my slave I could eventually mold her into the kind of escort to make the Sam Prescott's of this world seem ordinary. After her meal she said her good-byes and left. Once outside I followed her back to a local department store, here she worked as a cosmetics saleswoman. She seemed to be fairly junior, supplying free makeovers to women brought to the counter by more senior staff. I went to a rival company's stand and made some excuse about needing a last minute birthday gift. The girl was helpful and I managed to keep her distracted enough that I could watch Caroline across the floor. She had a certain intrinsic elegance that shone out despite her dowdy looks. Trade was slow and from the banter I picked up between the other saleswomen it became clear that Caroline was a student working here part time. Realizing I couldn't continue to hang around without attracting attention I purchased enough perfume to keep the girl happy then left and headed off for the rest of the day. I had bought a late model medium sized domestic sedan to use during the abduction. My researches had shown that this was a popular type and color and indeed I saw a number as I drove around. In the end I selected one and followed it to a small car park. Here a guy got out and went into an office building. I noted his plate then headed back to the store in time for closing. I followed from a distance as she left work and headed down a set of back alleys to a place where a small car was parked. I nearly lost her as she drove away but fortunately the traffic slowed her until I could catch up in my car. I followed her to a small apartment building near the university. I had caught her first name in the restaurant and from the bell box I saw that she was Caroline Conway and lived in 23C. ** The next morning she was working in the store as usual, during the night I'd formulated a plan. First I hired a cell phone from a local company that were happy for me to take it for a few days when I claimed mine was damaged. This gave me a local number. I had spent most of the previous evening filling a small notebook with cryptic notes and I put a woman's name on the cover. I had noticed that Caroline carried a small black leather purse with her at all times. I guessed that they may be available from the store where she worked. Another quick 'birthday gift' shopping trip and I had its twin together with a woman's billfold. In the stores toilets I assembled my decoy. I placed about $300 in the wallet and dropped it into the bag, then added some old keys, some change, the notebook, a pen and some of the perfume I'd purchased the day before. I figured it would weigh about right and that she may not immediately realize it wasn't her own purse. I assumed that she would eat lunch in the same place and again fate was with me. I sat on the next table just behind her as she sat and gossiped. I paid for the salad I bought and while the waitress took their order I quickly swapped purses, stuck hers under my coat and left. I explained to the cashier that I was waiting for a friend who hadn't shown and that I was off to find out where he was. Would she hold my table for fifteen minutes until I got back? A large tip ensured she would. I knew I had little time, there was a key and heel place down the block and a hardware store a little beyond that. Out of sight I removed her apartment and car keys and ensured they had no ID. I stopped at the heel bar first, dropped off the car keys and paid for a duplicate set. With the excuse that my lunch break was almost over and I had shopping to do I left them with the promise that the keys would be ready when I returned in five minutes. Then I went to the hardware store where I got the apartment keys done quickly. In their toilets I quickly went through the rest of the purse. I was relieved to see that she had no bottles of medication or cards indicating a serious medical complaint. What she did have was a large number of unpaid bills, and of course a motive to disappear. Collecting both sets of keys I headed back. In all it had taken me ten minutes before I was back in the restaurant. The decoy had worked well, and it was still where I left it. If I couldn't get the purse back to her she would find the decoy and assume some mistake. If she dialed the number on the notebook she would reach the cell phone and I had a plausible story prepared about my absent minded wife and her talent for mislaying her purse. I would then arrange a place for an exchange. I doubted she would be suspicious but I was still relieved that she and her friends ordered coffee and were too distracted to notice when I successfully switched her purse back. I tailed her back to the store to ensure this wasn't a college day, then went to her apartment. I rang the bell first in case there was a room mate or a boyfriend, then went up and scouted things out. I discovered that she was a psych major struggling to meet the demands of the course and of her day job and that she apparently lived alone. She had awful dress sense seeming to choose baggy clothes that hid her figure and colors that didn't suit her. Although this was puzzling her wardrobe did provide me with details of her clothes sizes that would let me order some of the more exotic outfits before I collected her. The absence of a boyfriend and estranged letters from the family assured me she wouldn't be missed for some time. I was almost tempted to wait and take her then, but I didn't want anyone to place me near the scene so instead I decided to wait a month and returned home to prepare... The dungeon was close to finished. I had managed to do most of the work myself and the little extras I'd had to get my contractor to do (like putting water into the small basement room) were easily explained by my love of photography. Before collecting my model I went to New York on a fetish buying spree. Gags, cuffs, whips, chains, harnesses, toys and a reasonable fetish wardrobe started to fill the dungeon. I managed to pick up some reasonable strong secondhand furniture to liven up the place, the only problem now was collecting Caroline. And that wasn't going to be easy. I mapped out her movements as I knew them. Up at seven, out at eight thirty, work by nine, lunch twelve to one. The problem was not what she did but the fact that everyone else did them at the same time. At least a dozen people left her apartment building within fifteen minutes of her every day. I as I looked into it in detail it began to seem that there was not a moment when I could reasonably expect to have her alone long enough to get her and make off unseen. First her apartment was on the third floor of a small student tenement, there was frenetic activity all the time. Though I had keys to the apartment and could easily ambush her there day or night there was no method I could use to get her out of the place unnoticed. I had no doubt that I could take her, but someone was bound to mention the guy with the "drunken girlfriend" or the dude with "the big box" when the police started asking questions. I could wait until the early hours but then the back door leading to the car park would be locked so I'd have to take her through the front doors. I determined that it was never quiet enough for that to work. The apartment's car park was above surface and at the back of the building. Between 7AM and 8PM there was a back exit open to allow access. Unfortunately it was clearly visible from the road and worse it was a short cut to the nearest bar. Therefore an ambush in the car park wasn't on either. On TV of course it's all terribly easy, the heroine leaves her apartment and gets into her car. Suddenly the menacing bulk of the bad guy looms behind her and a gloved hand closes over her mouth. In the next scene she's unconvincingly bound and gagged on her own back seat as the bad guy telephones the hero to arrange a meet. Of course the heroine always drives a big domestic car, if she were wise and had bought a small compact Japanese model like Caroline she would have only needed to worry about midget and contortionist kidnappers. The only real opening was that she left the store slightly later than everyone else. I could in theory jump her in the back alleys leading to her car. Unfortunately *MOST* of them were well used short cuts which was probably why she felt safe using them. The only exception was an alleyway close to the store, here at that time I could expect to have her alone for perhaps fifteen to twenty minutes. Unfortunately the alley was too narrow for a car, it did however lead into an wider alley linking two blocks. This wide alley was quiet enough that I could get perhaps five minutes parked there before I congested traffic but simply put it was too busy for me to leave a car there during the kidnapping. For a while I played with the idea of stashing her in a dumpster while I went for the car, but even with the best gag in the world she'd make too much noise for me to leave her the twenty minutes I needed. I started to wish I knew more about drugs so that I could knock her out, but I knew that unless I was very careful I could kill her. What I needed was a way to overpower her and to make her invisible for perhaps twenty minutes. Then fate again stepped in. During another shopping trip to NYC I made the mistake of taking a short cut through a particular alley. About half way through I became aware of someone by my side, before I could react someone pushed something into my side and it was all over. A cop told me later that it was a stun gun, an electrical device that delivers the victim a debilitating charge. I figure I was out of it for perhaps ten minutes, which had been enough time for the guy to make off with my wallet. The police had got there so fast because a bum sleeping in the alley had flagged them down. I had to confess that I hadn't noticed him, and neither it seemed had my attacker, as the cops caught him at the next block. I slipped the bum a C note for his help before heading off to my destination. I was more careful from then but it got me to thinking. ** Over the next few weeks I practiced my capture technique using an inflatable doll part filled with sand. Counting in my head, I choreographed, handcuffing the wrists, gagging the mouth, securing the legs. When I could bind my unresisting vinyl victim in under three minutes I returned to the Big Apple and hired a woman who advertised as a "Professional Submissive." She made it clear that she wasn't into "rough stuff" but apparently rape fantasies were common to both her male and *FEMALE* customers. We worked out what she called a "scene." She would enter her bedroom as a "tired business executive." I as a passed over rival would jump her, bind and gag her then "punish" her for getting "My promotion." The plot was lame but apparently a popular one with her other customers, she offered several others but all I wanted was to refine my technique on a real struggling body. After the first time I made some changes, she was to make as much noise as possible at all times, she would get a hundred dollar bonus if she kept me from tying her for two minutes and I was allowed to tie her as I wanted. The first couple of occasions she was up by two hundred bucks but after that it became easier to subdue her. I tried out several types of ties and gags looking as much for the type of movement and sounds the victim could make as for the degree of immobilization or silence. Finally I was happy I had found what I wanted so I packed my equipment and started the long drive that would end with Caroline. That Friday I followed her around. I kept fairly clear of the store as it had security cameras and store cops but I attended her regular lunch break. Her two model friends were off to a trade fair in Chicago, bad news it seemed as she needed somewhere to stay for a few days. The landlord was apparently evicting her on Monday and she needed to move that weekend. With a put upon sigh one of the girls offered a spare key to her apartment but made it clear this couldn't be a permanent arrangement. For a second I considered rethinking my risky plan in favor of taking her there but I figured with my luck this apartment would be even worse than the current one. What was clear though was that I needed to move quickly, for some reason and despite the fact that I had intended to kidnap her the next day I felt compelled to move things forward. Trailing her back to the store I slipped off down back alleys to the place where she parked her car. Then I stole it, simple when you have the keys. I'd already been warned about the "bad" side of town so that was were I headed. I parked in a back street and left the car open with the keys inside before making it to a busier street and flagging down a cab. I had been away from the car perhaps five minutes before the cab drove past the back street. By then the car had gone, destined for the chop shop or perhaps a new identity like it's mistress. I was dropped off in the town center and recovered my car from the car park. Next I drove out to her place. The block was as quiet as it got as I walked up the back stairs in my disguise. I was wearing jeans and a hooded track suit top and had a couple of books under one arm. As the "instant student" I went into her apartment unobserved. To my surprise the contents of the rooms had been packed into a number of largish boxes. Only a little food and the pillows and bedding were still out. Good fortune having smiled on me again I started to move the boxes down the back stairs to my car. Several people seemed to be moving at the same time and it became easy to loose myself coming in and out. I ensured that I was relatively unobserved loading the car and hung around in the stairwell to ensure no one saw me enter her apartment. It took perhaps twenty minutes to do the whole thing. I searched afterwards to ensure that nothing valuable was left behind but deliberately left the place untidy. As a final gesture I left the final notice on the table together with enough cash to cover the back rent. I reasoned the super would find it on Monday and assume she'd moved out. I'd put the boxes on the back seat of the car but I put the pillows and comforters in the trunk as added sound insulation. Driving to a secluded spot I got ready for the final assault. Under the track suit top I put on a harness to which were clipped the items I would need quickly. Looking back I wonder why I did this, my "appointment" with Caroline wasn't for some time and the harness was bulky. I reasoned it was best to get used to it so I didn't appear odd when I approached her. I drove back to the town center with the intention of hiding behind the dumpsters in the alley until she left work. Taking a large cardboard box half full of equipment to the alley I quietly moved one of the dumpsters a little to allow a six foot gap between them. I had just unpacked the box when a sob alerted me to someone's approach. Dumb as it was I peered around the dumpster rather than hide immediately. It was her! I couldn't believe it, she was walking down the alley sobbing quietly over an hour too soon! I panicked, there were just too many people around at this time for it to work, the store would be closing in a few minutes and the alley would fill with her fellow workers. The cold realization hit me that I'd overplayed my hand, that after all the planning and expense I'd been just a little too impatient. I couldn't take her now, but if I didn't she would discover her car missing and the things gone from her home. There would be police reports, questions, in essence Caroline Conway would become too noticeable to just disappear. I had failed and beyond that I was mad. Mad with Samantha for starting this thing in the first place, mad at myself for my impatience but above all mad at her, at Caroline, for having the ill manners to be early the one time it really mattered. Then before I knew what I was doing I was standing next to her. "Caroline?" I asked and as she raised her tear-filled eyes to mine I pressed the stun gun into her side and pushed the button. She made an "Uhhug" sound as her contracting diaphragm forced the air from her lungs. A pained and surprised look spread over her face as she started to fall. I directed her on to the open sleeping bag I'd just spread between the dumpsters, I looked down the alley both ways and saw no one, then I proceeded on autopilot. The handcuffs were first, unclipped from my harness and then fastened, one pair on the wrists the other on the ankles. Next came a dense sponge ball apparently designed for people to practice games near glass windows. It was quite unyielding and despite the lack of resistance it took some pushing in. I sealed it there with two quick strips of duct tape, each starting along the jaw line, crossing over her lips and ending on the opposite cheek. Again I checked for people aware that this alley would be at it's busiest in a few minutes. Fortunately I was still safe so I continued to cover her mouth with strip after strip of tape. Then following the plan I strengthened the bonds before she could move again. Four leather straps, two above and bellow the elbows, the same at her knees. I quickly removed the handcuffs from her ankles and from the box pulled out a pair of bondage cuffs already locked together with a padlock. I strapped them on her ankles and she attempted to kick me and made the first sounds since the stun gun was fired. The sound was soft but still wasn't quiet enough, turning her on her side I gathered her hair into a single bunch, holding it with my right hand I used my left to move an elastic band from around the right wrist on to the hair. A couple of quick flips and the hair was bound into a pony tail and kept out of the way of the next stage. I could hear people leaving the shops down the alley. I thought of leaving her like this but she was still too noisy. Quickly and brutally I wound an elastic bandage around her head and over her taped lips. I knew it was really tight but at that moment all that mattered was the effect it had on her cries. Not only were they more muted, they also became lower and more guttural as she had to do more with her throat. I could see shadows moving in the far end of the alley. By now it was too late to escape. I would have to hide and hope that my idea would work. Rolling her on to her stomach I used a spare strap to hog-tie her wrists to her ankles. Satisfied I threw the other end of the sleeping bag over her and zipped it up. After some fumbling it was zipped, because she was near the bottom of the bag it closed over her head. Quickly dumping the other rubbish from the box, I used the top of the sleeping bag to pull her head up and pushed the box down over her upper body. Dumping half a bottle of cheap whiskey and some rubbish on the bag I stood the half bottle strategically next to the wall and slid behind the dumpster. She must have heard them because she tried to struggle and scream as the first people walked by. Of course she was too late, the passers by smelt the strong alcohol, saw the ripped sleeping bag and cardboard box and "saw" a bum not a kidnapped girl. Social conditioning being what it is the more sound she made the more she became invisible to the passers by. Just another street person best ignored lest they tap you for pocket change. I hid and watched, pleased that the plan had worked but still a little disturbed at how faceless society had become. As I crouched there I went through her purse, found a hastily written notice of dismissal from the store and understood the tears. Just before it was quiet enough for me to leave for the car, two of the women from the cosmetics counter where she worked stopped by the dumpsters. I froze convinced they had recognized something that I'd forgotten. In the end however they just lit cigarettes, and gossiped about how "that stupid bitch, Caroline" had pushed her luck too far. Perhaps recognizing the voices she tried to struggle and scream again, one commented that the cops should lock such people away and they flounced off with a self congratulatory waddle. Looking down on her as she sobbed inside the sleeping bag I began to think that I could be doing her a favor and that of all the people she knew only I her kidnapper, her rapist, her MASTER really cared what happened to her. With this in mind I checked the coast was clear and opened the bag. The handcuffs on her wrists were already biting, cutting off her circulation. The extra strain from the hog-tie was making it worse, she must have been in agony. I released the hog-tie and started wrapping duct tape around her wrists, when I had built up enough I removed the handcuffs and continued over her hands. I was able to force her to lace her fingers together with threats of a knife and taped her fingers into a solid mass. The result was that when I reapplied the hog-tie strap it bit into the tape not her wrists. She seemed happy that the pain had stopped so I re-interred her in the sleeping bag and box. Then I piled other rubbish around her and went to get the car. That trip took me twenty minutes and it was with some trepidation that I approached the dumpsters again. I pulled off the box and was relieved to see her gagged face rather than the street cop I'd half expected. She was sobbing, huge tears ran down her face. Quickly I blew her nose and warned her to stop blubbing or risk suffocation. I don't know how many people walked past her as she lay bound and gagged in the alleyway, but the experience of being so helpless yet so close to rescue had filled her with despair. She gave me little trouble as I moved her from the alley into the trunk of my car. I quickly packed the blankets and pillows around her to further muffle her and to minimize the risk she could somehow pound on the metal of the car. Satisfied I quickly cleaned up, dumping most of the stage dressing for my "bum" in the dumpsters. I started to throw the whiskey in too but an impulse stopped me and instead I placed it where only an invisible man would look and left to take my prize to her new home. Chapter 2: An Introduction to Slavery Sitting there sipping the coffee and reviewing the past few weeks I felt the tension slowly drain from my body. I had her. Not only that but as far as I could see I had left no clues other than ones that pointed to her leaving of her own free will. Police don't handle missing persons cases promptly anyway because the majority of people turn up in the first few days. Seen from their point of view we have Caroline Conway, struggling student already being evicted who suddenly looses her job then disappears with all her possessions. Not a good candidate for being a criminal case. I packed everything away and started to put the pieces of her gag into the McDonalds bag along with the wrappers. At length I picked up a piece of tape with traces of her lipstick on it. The color seemed in some way wrong for her and it struck me as being a little odd that someone who made money applying makeup should botch her own so badly. Still this was a mystery I would have plenty of time to investigate at my leisure. Starting the car I left the hollow and headed back to the highway. I was about four hours from home a distance I intended to take in one go. I'd held out the hope of other layovers and chances of rescue to buy her cooperation and I wondered how long it would be before she realized she'd been tricked, assuming that she noticed anything above the persistent throbbing in her crotch. Not that it really mattered of course as she didn't have a chance to complain. The rest of the drive was fairly uneventful, I stopped for gas once at a small self service station. If I had been unlucky I suppose someone could had driven up and heard her, but it was about 2am by now and the cashier and I were the only ones for miles. It was about four when I pulled up outside my house. A stand of trees and a high brick wall shields it from the road so I could remove her without attracting any attention. Again I hobbled her legs, though this time she was more cooperative probably to speed removal of the vibrator that still buzzed inside her. Her thighs were slick with her cum and the sweat told of her exertions. Taking the leash I lead her into the house and down into the basement. I'd left part of it unfinished so that the odd nail or hole wouldn't look out of place. Originally I had planned a large lab under my office but now that section of the basement was hidden behind a swinging bookcase in the corner. For now I locked the leash over an exposed beam and left her there. Racing upstairs I changed into my master's outfit, a cotton shirt, black leather pants, boots and matching gloves, after all my first act would be to dress my slave appropriately and the least I could do was reciprocate. I returned to the basement where she was trying the extent of the leash and screaming behind the gag. Without saying a word I moved the bookcase and stepped beyond. This space had been designed to be fairly large. Originally I had intended to surprise my friends with this room and so had kept it a secret. That was useful now it's purpose had changed as it stopped embarrassing questions.. At the far end I had built a small room with a heavy iron door. Inside was quite spacious, enough room for a double bed, a chair, a table and a chemical toilet. That was her cell the rest of the place could best be described as the dungeon. On one wall I had cemented in a steel latticework that stood out a couple of inches from the wall itself. This provided ample anchoring points for straps and restraints. The other wall had a number of large rings for the same purpose. Near the door was a locked steel cabinet and an old wooded wardrobe. Going to the wardrobe first, I selected an outfit for her to wear from the clothes I kept there. The visit to her apartment had shown me that she was a conservative dresser. This outfit screamed slut and sex and was guaranteed to embarrass her. I had no doubt the kidnapping had rattled her, now I had to keep her hesitant, uncomfortable and unsure as I started to mold her as my slave. Most of the clothes here were off the shelf vinyl, leather and rubber stuff from the sex shops of New York. Being her first night however I went for something special. I'd ordered this ensemble from a specialist shop in LA. Using the measurements I'd taken from her clothes. Their catalog had contained several more specialist creations which I intended to order once I'd broken her in. Next I unlocked the cabinet and removed some restraints, a new gag, a pair of shears and a small riding crop then returned to the main basement. By now she had given up struggling and just stood in the center of the room shifting her weight from foot to foot. I let her stew a little longer as I walked around and surveyed her fine body. Then I walked over and removed first her heels then the cuffs from her ankles. The sudden loss of height made the leash pull tighter at the collar and she whimpered slightly. I reached down, placed the shears against the hem of her skirt and with one movement cut it all the way to her hips. Of course I could have removed the skirt without cutting, but these clothes were her last personal possession, the last vestige of her personal identity. Destroying them was a symbolic act. The skirt was relatively simple, the jacket took more time, the blouse shredded in seconds. By now she was yelling and thrashing around, but the ever present bite of the collar kept her in check. I felt a little guilty cutting off her bra and garter belt, I loved lingerie, but accepted it had to be done. Finally I pulled off her stockings and she stood before me naked but for the bondage, her blindfolded face tracking backwards and forwards waiting for the next attack. Her breasts heaved as she sobbed silently. I looked at the matted triangle of her pubic hair, damp from the vibrator but still too thick for my taste, she had an appointment with a razor tomorrow. Next I moved a small table close enough to her that she could reach it with some effort and placed the outfit on it Then I cut the tape from her wrists and her hands before removing the blindfold. She stood blinking as sight returned. then immediately her hands flew first to the back of her head where the gag was secured then to her neck and the collar. In both cases she found small padlocks making removal impossible. She murmured something then turned to face me. I flexed the crop and smiled. "From now on I will call you slave or cunt, you will call me master or sir. You have no rights, I own you completely, even your body is mine, understand?" Her big blue eyes just stared at me incredulously. "I want an answer slave, DO YOU UNDERSTAND?" This time when there was no answer I slapped her breast with the crop, she jerked to attention. I pulled the crop back as if I was going to strike her face, she held up her arms and cowered. "Understand?" She nodded. "Good, lesson one obey first time every time and you'll avoid punishment. If you don't you'll soon understand what pain really means. Clear?" She nodded, this time the response was much quicker. "You are here as a sex slave, as your master I will use your body as I see fit for my personal pleasure. You will obey me immediately and do the same for any others I designate. If you obey orders and don't try to escape you will avoid punishment, if not the severity of the punishment will increase. I won't kill you unless, you threaten my life or my security but push me too far and I can permanently disfigure you. Understand?" Again the nod, this time however she was looking at the ground so I put the end of the crop under her chin and raised her head so that I could stare into her frightened eyes. I pointed to the clothes on the table with the crop. "Put those on." She looked at them, on top was a shiny black latex bustier, at various points the rubber had been ribbed to provide support making it resemble a space age corset. She turned to me and I could see that she was thinking about it. "Put it on." She continued to just stand, I had brought some handcuffs with me in case she was difficult. I was going to cuff her hands and punish her when suddenly I saw a better solution. I pulled the table back out of her reach and smiled. "We'll see how you feel in the morning." I said and turned towards the stairs. I was halfway up them when I heard her frantic mewing. She had realized that eventually her legs would tire and that she would be choked by the leash. I went back down stairs. "Ready to cooperate?" She looked at the floor, then nodded. I offered her the bustier, but when she reached for it I snatched it back. "First, dance for me." She looked confused. "Obey me first time, every time remember? This is your punishment, I'm going to go easy on you this time. Now dance or I'm off to bed." Slowly she started to gyrate as much as the chain would let her. "Is that the best you can do? Sexy, Slave I want you to dance sexy." I didn't think she was really trying so I applied the crop to the sections that didn't move enough. She yelped a little but after about the first dozen she was doing the best she could. I could tell that the nakedness troubled her. Right now she would rather wear the kinky clothes than stay like this. Most of my blows had been to make her move her hands from breast or crotch, I figured if she wanted to touch them that much I should encourage her. I smiled, "I'm afraid that you've proved you don't deserve this fine outfit. If you want it then you are going to have to earn it piece by piece. Now cup your breasts and offer them to me. A muffled sound came from behind the gag." "First lesson!" I said as I settled back in a chair. She cupped her breasts in her hands and thrust her chest at me while all the time gyrating to some imaginary tune. "Now play with the nipples. When she hesitated I flicked the crop towards her. She sobbed but her hands slid up her breasts and her thumbs flicked the brown nubs which soon hardened before her. I tossed the bustier to her. "Slide it up and down your body." This time she complied quickly, making involuntary crooning sounds as the cold latex touched her hard, sensitive nipples. Finally I'd seen enough. "Ok now put it on." She struggled into it, all the time eyeing the crop fearfully. It fit her better than expected, forming a shiny second skin from just below her nipples to just above her crotch. It was so tight that her navel was clearly visible and her tits were trust up and out making them appear even more prominent. The hard brown nubs of her nipples stood to attention just above the top of the cups and just cried out for attention. I began to regret not bringing some clamps with me. Still there was time for that later. I held up a long black latex glove. "Play with yourself, you don't get it until you're wet." She glanced at the glove then at the stairs. Then, while one hand continued to stroke and fondle her latex covered breast and nipple, the other drifted to her clit where she started to finger herself. I looked at her, the eyes where now glazed and full of silent tears. I tossed her the glove. "Get off with it," I said. She looked up eyes full of both humiliation and confusion. Grabbing the other glove I passed it between my legs then with one hand holding from the front and the other from the rear I slid it backwards and forwards across my crotch. She looked on horrified and I was sure she would die rather than do it. Then slowly with hands shaking she copied my action dragging the slick glove backwards and forwards across her cunt until the surface was wet with her cum. I made her repeat the procedure for the second glove. Her hands were shaking when she slowly pulled the gloves up her arms. I made her continue to play with herself and the tactile stimulation of the smooth latex seemed to seize her. Suddenly she closed her eyes arched her back and started to play in earnest, oblivious to my presence. At first I was tempted to whip her, then I remembered the discomfort she had shown at my seeing her naked. Quietly I slipped back to the dungeon and took a loaded camera from the cabinet. By this time she was so far gone that she didn't realize what I was doing until I already had three shots. She stood there horrified at what she was doing and of the thought that it was captured on film. I seized on her confusion and quickly tossed her the latex stockings with instructions to put them on. I took more photos as she pulled them up her legs and fastened them to the garters of the bustier. Next I passed her one of the five inch stiletto boots. "Fuck yourself with the heel." By now tears of humiliation and frustration were following down her face, she looked at the floor sniffed and brought the heel up to her cunt. "You don't get the other one until I see you cum, understand?" She nodded and started to move the heel in and out. I snapped more photos, she stopped, sobbed and tried to say something. "Keep it up," I said, "We don't have all night." She tried to say something again. I brought the crop down on one of her exposed nipples. She let out a muffled scream. "You'll get one every 30 seconds until I see you cum, now do it cunt or my god I'll make you suffer!" She started in earnest ramming the heel in and out of her hole. True to my word I slapped her when the 30 seconds were up, after that though it was un-necessary. She bucked and moaned her upper thighs and the tops of her stockings now slick with her juices. Finally she shivered and groaned, I just tossed her the other boot. "Put them on." She stood before me a vision in leather and latex, no slut or whore could look more perfect. From the bondage elements of collar and gag, though the sheer kinkiness of the outfit to her juices streaming down her latex clad thighs I surveyed my slave. Behind the shame and humiliation in her tear-filled eyes there still burned a trace of defiance, something I could break over the next few months as I molded her into my creature. "If you had obeyed me first time an hour ago we could both have been in bed by now and you could have saved yourself all this trouble." She nodded, tears still rolling down her face. I tossed her some leather cuffs. "Wrists and ankles, NOW!" She put them on without hesitation all the while looking at me with those big eyes. I stepped behind her and fastened the wrist cuffs together before adding a hobble chain to the ones at her ankles. Then I removed the leash and lead her to the chair next to the small table. Using some of the straps I'd removed earlier I secured her to the chair. She was unresisting, all rebellion temporarily crushed by humiliation and shame. I removed the gag and offered her a drink. She accepted then asked, "Why me?" "Because I wanted you," I said. "But I ha..." I slapped her mouth. She looked at me stunned. "Not *I*," I said, "Only a person can be an *I*. You are not a person, you're an object like any possession. *YOU* don't exist anymore and haven't done since the moment I took you. The only identity you'll have from now on is the one I choose to give you." She looked up, terrified tears welling in her eyes again. "From now on you will refer to yourself as 'slave', understand." That's all you are for the moment, just a thing for my pleasure. I may give you another identity some day but you'll have to earn it first. Say, 'I am a cock sucking slave slut.'" She shook her head her self esteem denying this last humiliation.. I brought the crop down hard on her right nipple, she yelped. "Say it!" "NO!" I spun the chair around. Now had access to her uncovered cunt and her legs were strapped to the chair where she couldn't close them. I whipped her exposed pussy. "I am a cock sucking slave slut! Please Master stop!" she screamed then started sobbing. I pushed the ball gag I'd taken from the cabinet between her teeth and fastened the strap. Her brief show of resistance had crumbled, I unfastened her from the chair and lead her into the cell. There I fastened the collar to a steel wire attached to a pulley wheel on the ceiling. The wheel ran on a small track which lead from the bed to the toilet. I kept her hands cuffed behind her but removed the hobble. She lay on the bed sobbing. "Hey cunt," She looked up, "Just something to contemplate, I haven't punished you for your insolence back there. I have something in mind but it will have to wait until morning, you might want to ponder that." I closed the cell door on her muffled cries. Chapter 3: Opening Events I don't think there has been a moment in my life that compares with the realization that I'd got her. My mind was full of possibilities, of the things I'd planed and of my slave. I fell to sleep that night with the image of my slave, bound, gagged and subdued in all her fetish finery burning itself into my brain. I awoke full of life, reveling in my achievement. Although I'd read of many cases of sexual abduction (in fact studied many in preparation for this) no one had achieved what I had done. I had a pretty coed bound and gagged in my basement, kidnapped from a busy alleyway in plain sight of at least a dozen people. I felt like a god, now at last I had a woman who couldn't say no, who wouldn't lead me on and then dump me as Samantha had. I chuckled to myself, for now she was my prisoner but soon I would start to train her as my slave. Slowly over the coming months, using torture, humiliation and sex I would slowly break her, destroying her identity, her self worth and gradually crushing her will until there would be nothing no mater how low or vile that she wouldn't do if I ordered it. I gradually let the megalomania sweep over me savoring every moment... then I pulled myself back into line and started exercising the personal discipline expected of the master of such a beautiful slave. One feature of the house that had been in the design from the beginning was it's audiovisual distribution system. In happier times I'd intended it to allow Sam and I to access cable, satellite or video from any part of the house. It had proved extremely flexible and coupled with hidden camera's from an enhanced security system gave me access to any room in the house. Reaching for a remote I turned on the bedroom monitor and entered the security code that accessed the camera in Caroline's cell. Caroline slept fitfully under the dimmed lights of the room. Her position had changed little since I'd left her. Her hair was tousled though still held it it's makeshift ponytail. A few blonde strands had escaped and lay on her pillow next to the damp patch where she had drooled past the gag. She looked so helpless that I was half tempted to go down and wake her, but I'd been planning this for months and could wait. With remarkable resolve given the circumstances I turned off the monitor, bathed, dressed and went downstairs. In my haste to get Caroline inside last night I'd left the car next to the side door instead of in the garage. Whilst this wasn't a problem (the driveway has a gate) part of me wanted to get the car out of sight as soon as possible. I backed the car into the garage then started to transfer its contents into a small storage room at the back. Most of Caroline's sparse belongings were destined for the bonfire, I'd only taken them to support the idea that she had moved out.. Some things however were more important and as I stacked the boxes for later sorting I came across exactly what I'd been looking for, a small box full of her personal papers. Finishing up I took the box inside and made myself breakfast. The box contained the sorts of things you'd expect, High School diploma, family photo's, letters. The real find for me though were the diaries, about a dozen of them ranging from exercise books to pretty little things with brass colored clasp locks. The collected thoughts of a girl from her early teens to the present, invaluable stuff for her kidnapper. Ultimately these would be the skeleton keys that would allow me to unlock her mind and give me access to the deep personal places I'd have to violate if she was ever really to be my slave. For now however they had a more practical use. The kidnapping itself had gone without a hitch, my "Bum" rouse had allowed me to take her in broad daylight surrounded by people. In addition the loss of her job and apartment had given her a good motive to disappear. For the moment her friends would think she was at home and her family would think she was still at university, it was perfect. Unfortunately it was also temporary. Sooner or latter some friend would try calling her at home or family letters would be returned unanswered. Eventually the alarm would be raised. The police would investigate and it could be that they would find something I'd overlooked. Alternatively they could find a witness who remembered the strange student in Caroline's building on the day she disappeared or someone who could place a man in the alleyway that evening. I needed to buy time for memories to fade or better yet, direct people's attention away from that area all together. In short I needed letters, cheery postcards sent to favored relatives, excited jottings to friends all in saying the same thing. "I'm alive, free and happy living in another state." I had no doubt I could get her cooperation, apart from physical torture I controlled all aspects of her life from food and drink to when and if she went to the toilet. Eventually when she'd been conditioned to obey that would be unnecessary, but for now I needed information. I needed a source from which I could verify birthdays and the existence of relatives. Whilst I intended for her letters to appear self absorbed and mention as little as possible that could be verified, missing a favorite aunts birthday could give the family a clue that something was wrong. Yet I had to be able to check her writings so that she could not pass a distress message in the letters. The diaries would be my verification. I started sorting through the books wondering how difficult it would be to break the spines and scan them into a database. Then suddenly I came across something odd. One of the pretty notebooks with the brass clasps had been forced. At first I assumed she'd lost the key though this didn't make much sense as the locks are principally decorative and a key from any of the earlier diaries would fit. Then I noticed that some of the pages had been torn out. The book covered summer of three years ago around the time of her fifteenth birthday. I decided to look into this later, for now however I divided my time between eating breakfast, reading her mail and watching "Caroline TV". Her bound form was just as tempting as ever. She thrashed around on the bed in a feeble attempt to wiggle free. Then she spent about twenty minutes rubbing her mouth against the edge of the bed trying to work the gag free. Finally, realizing that escape was futile she lay back down and sobbed. Looking down I found I was hard again. Summoning up my self control I managed to go to my study and knock off a quick thousand words on "Power PC vs. Pentium" for my New York publisher. In breaks for inspiration I continued through her mail and made a startling discovery. Caroline was the daughter of the REVEREND Charles Conway and his wife Judith. Quickly I paged through the photo albums until I found what I wanted. The family portrait was not inspiring, an older dour looking man, the picture of a bible bashing Baptist stood next to his younger dowdy, once pretty wife. He looked fierce and unbending, Judith looked down, the perfect picture of subservience. One of the reverend's eyes seemed fixed on the girls Caroline and her younger sister Anna, who stood with military stiffness before him. Now Caroline's drab taste in clothes began to make sense. Suddenly I could also see a way to get her to write me those letters. It would require some planning so I shelved it for now but the thought of it clawed at my mind and in the end I could resist no longer. I quickly finishing up the article, hurried to the kitchen and made her a light breakfast of cereal and coffee then took it down to the dungeon. In one corner of the room was a large heavy wooden kitchen table I had bought at a garage sale. It had looked like the kind of thing grandma Walton used to bake pies on. For my needs numerous D rings were attached to the frame, legs and top giving it a more sinister purpose. For now however I needed it to be just a table. Pulling it into the center of the room I cleared the top of bondage paraphernalia then added an old wooden chair to which I had also added straps.. Pausing I realized that this would be a good time to test the most impressive addition I'd made to the chair. Putting breakfast on the table I went to the locked cabinet and removed some extra pieces one of which I bolted to the chair the other I pocketed. Then I went to awaken the slave. She was lying much as I'd last seen her still bound and gagged, still in the latex outfit. My erection returned as I unfastened the wire from the collar, hobbled her and lead her whining and struggling into the dungeon. When we reached the chair she stopped struggling and stared in astonishment. From the center of the seat a long polished wooden phallus emerged making the chair look like it had an erection. She turned to look at me, eyes wide, head starting to shake. She tried to say something, mouth chewing helplessly on the ball. I pushed her towards the chair, she attempted to resist. Needless to say I won, five inch stilettos being hard enough to walk in let alone anything else. Hobbled, she couldn't even brace herself and soon she was hovering over the wooden cock. "It's lubricated," I said, "And it's not that thick. It's going to hurt less than the punishment you've just earned yourself." She continued to struggle, I really hadn't expected anything else, but when penetration by the wooden rapist was inevitable she relaxed and allowed me to settle her on it. Reaching into my pocket I produced its twin and waved it in front of her eyes. "Guess where this one goes slave." She looked at me beseechingly, knowing that she was helpless and silently begging for mercy. I crouched down and started to strap her ankles to the chair legs. It was a tough fight as she struggled to keep her legs closed. But she was in an impossible position and once her legs where strapped open I found it surprisingly easy to slide the dildo inside. The back of the phallus had a large bolt fastened to it and after burying the 7 inches of wood in the girl I pushed the bolt through a hole in the chair seat and fastened a nut to the other side. There was a small wrench velcroed to the bottom of the seat which I used to tighten the nut before pocketing it. Caroline and the chair were now effectively bolted together, there was no way she could stand or walk and without a wrench and a lot of time no way she could get free. Now, with her legs strapped open the wooden intruder was obvious but I could see that hidden beneath a full skirt it would be difficult to see anything amiss. I thought of the other chair I had upstairs, the one with the nice finish and just the mountings for the dildos. Dressed in regular clothes and bolted to the chair I could take photo's of Caroline with no obvious restraints. I smiled, the family could expect a few pictures with her letters. Returning to my slave I chained her collar to the table, freed her hands and pulled the gag from her mouth. Rather than remove it completely I let it hang around her neck like a strange fetish necklace, a constant reminder that I could enforce her silence at any time. She picked up the coffee and drank greedily, I topped up the cup. She drained that also, then as I moved the cereal towards her she spoke. "Sir..." "I prefer Master," I said with a smile. "Err, Master... Erm please let me go... I promise I won't tell anyone about this. I want to go home, please." I suppose that my sadistic side had free reign at that moment because instead of telling her to shut up and eat her cereal I decided to play with her. "You must realize, Cunt, that taking you wasn't a whim. I've invested quite a lot of time and money in this affair. To return you now would put me at a lot of risk even if I could trust you not to run to the police. What could you offer me in return?" She swallowed nervously, calling her 'Cunt' like that had rattled her self confidence. "I...I could suck you..." The look on my face must have told her this wasn't enough for in a whisper she added, "Or we could do it... If you want." "I'm sorry," I said, "Where you offering sex?" She nodded, speechless. "In that case I want you to say, you can FUCK me Master, If you want." "You can... fuck me Master. If you want." "Louder!" "YOU CAN FUCK ME MASTER, IF YOU WANT!" "Much better. Tempting as your offer is, the reality of your situation is that I could tie you to this table in five minutes and fuck your brains out whether you liked it or not. I could do the same tomorrow and the next day and the next. You can't bargain with what you don't own, and your body, together with the rest of you is now mine." She looked dejected then she started jabbering. Telling me I would be caught and punished and she wished I was dead and... In the end only the threat of the gag got her to shut up and eat. When she'd finished I hobbled her again and unbolted her from the chair. As I helped her up off the shit covered phallus I was reminded of something. "Did you use the John?" She looked at me speechless. "The chemical toilet, did you use it?" She nodded. "Good 'cos that's the last chance you'll have for a while." I took her to the wall and chained her to the grid work whilst I collected a few things from the cabinet. First thing I did when I got back was try to gag her again. The gag was not strictly necessary as the room was soundproofed but it helped reinforce her helplessness and a knew she didn't like it. The ball gag was decorative but not very effective so leaving it where it was I held a padded gag against her mouth. This type of gag has a very large soft rubber mouthpiece fastened to a padded leather section that is strapped over the mouth. It was, I suppose a non inflatable version of the gag I'd fitted her with the night before. This time however she closed her mouth firmly and refused to open it. I smiled. "You must really like to be punished," I said, "It's going to take me most of the day just to work off what you've earned so far." Her eyes widened. "Oh yes you're going to be punished for last night, you didn't think I'd forgotten did you?" I could tell by the look in her eyes that *SHE* had forgotten." "Open up like a good girl and I'll forgive you this time. This is pointless anyway, the room is soundproofed so even without the gag you are just as helpless." She shook her head defiantly, I could see that a lesson was in order. Going to the cabinet I retrieved a posture collar and a roll of duct tape. Removing the ball gag from her neck I fitted the posture collar firmly in place. Of course she resisted but the ponytail made an excellent handhold and after five minutes her old collar was replaced by a high stiff one that stopped her turning her head. A couple of straps between the grid work and the collar and she was fastened to the wall facing me. Slowly, deliberately, I stuck strip after strip of tape over her closed lips. I think she thought I was trying to gag her a different way because she just stood there smugly. She seemed a little amused when I went into her cell and returned moments later with a strip of toilet paper. One thing was certain however she wasn't laughing when I shoved a small ball of toilet paper up each nostril and sealed it there with tape. She started to cry out and thrash as much as she could. I just added tape if a leak appeared in her mouth covering and waited. All the activity burnt the air in her lungs quickly and before long she stopped thrashing, face red, eye's bulging as she strained against the bonds, lungs screaming for the oxygen I'd denied them. "Perhaps I should gag you this way instead," I suggested, watching as wild panic and desperation consumed her. Then suddenly I reached out and in one move tore the tape mask from her lower face. She let out an explosive breath and with mouth wide open drew in her first lung full of life giving air. I gagged her, shoving the mouthpiece into her wide, open mouth just as she finished that first breath. It was large enough to stay put without the straps so next I removed the tape and paper from her nose. Then I tightened the gag. I think she was just happy to breath as I had no further trouble. I held one of the toilet paper balls in front of her wide eyes.. "This is a lesson. You are helpless, so helpless I can take your life with toilet paper if I wanted to. First time, *EVERY* time slave, this is not optional. Next time you try to stop me gagging you the tape stays on twice as long, keep it up and I may decide that you aren't worth the trouble and leave it on, understand??" She nodded. That settled I continued with the preparations. I replaced the hobble with a spreader bar forcing her legs open into a wide triangle. I could tell that she didn't like being this exposed, but experience was starting to teach her that resistance could offer worse things than just pain. I left her wrists cuffed together but added straps to her upper arms that also helped to pull her shoulders back and push her tits out. To help this along even further I threaded a rope from her elbow straps to her wrists then from there through a D ring in the center of the spreader bar. Pulling on it pulled her arms down, arched her back and thrust the tits out further. Releasing her from the wall I dragged her under a ring to which I attached her collar. Next came the butt plug. She looked at me puzzled as I approached her with it then as I pushed it's greased surface inside her ass she squirmed and made small noises behind the gag. I started to unwind the wires attached to it, before packing her cunt with a large metal studded rubber dildo with similar attachments. I fastened the wires to a small metal box which I clipped to the spreader bar, covered twat and ass with a pair of snap on leather panties and I was almost set. I finally got to do something I'd looked forward to since I'd seen her nice tits. The nipple clamps had a small length of chain between them and must have looked like jewelry because she didn't start struggling until I clipped the first one on. Even then there was little she could do her body being forced into a tight stiff pose by the strict bondage. I clipped the second one on the other nipple then freed the rope fastened to her wrists and pulled until she was bent back as far as I thought she could stand. Then I tied the rope to the nip clamp's chain. Now any attempt to lean forward would drag on the chain which in turn would pull on the clamps, these were the type that bit harder as pressure increased. She moaned and tried to say something looking at me with large accusing eyes, still that I could fix. I fitted her with the padded blindfold I'd used on her the night before. The posture collar stopped any of the struggling nonsense this time and when I was finished only her nose was not covered by shiny black leather. Next I attached a couple of small arms from the box to the wrist rope where it went through the spreader bar. Then I attached two cables from the box to the wall, one AC power the other to the building Ethernet. Caroline started to twitch as the dildo and butt plus started their low frequency vibration. As she squirmed she pulled on the rope attached to her nipples and slowly tortured herself. I looked at her as she winced and writhed, vision in leather and latex. The butt of the dildo was pushed tight, straining against the leather panties looking for all the world like a small cylindrical dick. As I watched it began to move as her cunt muscles squeezed it out and the tight panties forced it back in. I knew that the vibration though stimulating was not enough to bring her off instead she would have to stand there in a state of sexual frustration until I chose to release her. However being a considerate sort I'd arranged a small distraction. "Slave," She ignored me trapped in her private world. "Slave," I slapped her right nipple with the crop which got her attention. "Frustrating isn't it?" Of course she had no way of answering, the posture collar stopped all head movement and gag and blindfold dealt with everything else. "The good news is that the vibrator will go faster the further forward you lean. She lent forward a little and sure enough the pitch of the vibrator increased, of course the clamps did painful things to her nipples. She leaned back and suddenly when crazy struggling and screaming in pain. "Lean forward!" I commanded. she seemed in too much pain to notice me so I grabbed her shoulders and pulled forward. Immediately the pressure on the nipples increased and she tried to struggle more. I held her there and the pain subsided. "That was the bad news, periodically a small electrical shock will be administered to your cunt and anus. To switch it off you need to lean forward and hold the pose for five seconds. Every time the shock comes it will have a higher intensity and will take longer to shut off." Again she tried to say something. I continued, "Just before the shock you will hear my voice giving you an instruction. Obey it and the shock will be avoided. fail and you know what happens." I looked behind me at the camera that would let me watch all this from the comfort of my office then prepared to leave. Reaching up I released her hair from the pony tail and let the blond locks cascade around her shoulders. Finally I fitted her with a pair of light headphones which I attached to the AV. grid. She twitched and leaned forward obviously too late to stop the shock. I stood silently for a few minutes watching her move the little she could in response to my computer generated instructions. The moans issuing from behind her gag showed me that she had discovered the other benefit of obedience, the sudden high speed burst from the vibrators that came when she reacted immediately. The rewards were short so that she wouldn't be able to cum but in her painful position these flashes of pleasure would be very welcome. She started to obey the commands with increasing enthusiasm and I noticed that her cunt was already juicing up again. I watched for a few more minutes then left to watch "television". The rest of the morning I worked, easily clearing the backlog that had built up during my preparation for the kidnapping. On the TV I watched as Caroline continued to thrash around. A window on my PC monitor showed the current score. Shocked twelve times she was currently on her 150th order and getting tired. I smiled, Caroline would have spotted immediately that I was using an aversive conditioning technique. As a method of brainwashing it was slow and primitive but it was also effective. As a Psych major Caroline probably understood that her brain was being conditioned to obey my voice. She may even have noticed that the headphones, gag, gloves and blindfold had enforced a kind of sensory deprivation and that the insistent buzz of the vibrator was robbing her of the ability to focus. However just as you can shoot a ballistics expert, her skills could not protect her against this application of her science. The persistent computer continued to pound orders into the primitive areas of her brain offering pleasure for compliance and pain for disobedience. I imagined the horror, to understand exactly what was being done to her mind, to realize that in a few weeks her will would be broken and she would obey me like a dog eager to get my approval. Perhaps some part of her mind realizing what was happening but powerless to resist. Another rush of megalomania and then I shut down the program and went downstairs. She stood, legs trembling. I could tell that she wanted to slump down but the tether at her collar prevented it. Her latex stockings were again coated in her juices her body covered in sweat. I freed her ankles first holding her steady as she moved her legs for the first time in several hours. Next I disconnected everything, though I left the vibrator and butt plugs in their respective holes. Finally I freed her neck and fastened a leash to the collar. Taking the spreader bar along I lead her up from the dungeon and into the house. This is not as risky as it sounds, I have an excellent security system that warns me of any visitors and a gate ensures that they can only reach the house if I want them to. I sat her on a kitchen chair and gave her water. She said nothing but "Thank you Master" at the end all fight temporarily gone. In fact she seemed so submissive that my hard on returned and this time would not be denied. I decided to do something about it. With the gag still hanging from her neck I took her to the living room where I replaced the spreader and used the remaining ropes to secure her wrists to it. This resulted in a kind of hog-tie which left her kneeling before me as I sat in my chair. Unfastening my leather pants I pulled my hard dick free then pulled her head towards it. "I'm giving you the honor of blowing me slave, do it well and you will be excused punishment for the rest of the afternoon." I did consider telling her what would happen to her if she bit me, but I thought that could give her idea's. I had a ring gag for just this occasion but it was downstairs in the cabinet so I watched with some trepidation as her mouth engulfed me. I was intending to give her demerits based on lousy technique. Sam gave great head and I had come to expect a lot from my partner. It soon became apparent though as the tip of her tongue played lightly over the engorged head that Caroline was a virtuoso on the skin flute. I gasped, struck dumb as she sucked on my balls, next she deep throated me quickly and easily with no hint of gagging. I looked down at her blindfolded face, mouth around my dick a dribble of my precum on her chin and the only thought on my mind was that I was glad she couldn't see the stupid grin on my face. Somehow through the haze of rapidly mounting pleasure I remembered what I'd planned to do during this occasion. Hands trembling I reached for the remote control unit on the table beside me. I still don't know how I found the right button (she was licking the length of my dick like a lollipop at the time), yet I managed to push it. Then I sat back enraptured whilst somewhere in the bowels of the house a computer executed it's program. Ten seconds later the phone rang. We both stiffened I through release of anticipation, she in shock. Her mouth was still around my dick so using one hand to hold her head in place I answered the phone. The voice on the other end was that of the house management computer telling me the internal temperature, the selections on the VCR, the states of the lights, but for Caroline's benefit I pretended it was a friend a few miles down the road wanting to visit. "Sure Bob come on over," I said aware of the faint noises coming from my dick gagged slave, "But give me a few minutes ok, I was just playing with a new toy and need a few minutes to tidy up." I hung up, pleased she hadn't decided to bite me. It had been a risk without the ring gag but a small one. I figured the gag incident would stop her from trying anything too extreme for a while. I grabbed the side of her head, actively fucking her face for the first time. She wasn't stupid, she took this as a signal I wanted to finish, stopped teasing and instead started sucking hard and bobbing backwards and forwards in a strong persistent rhythm. I could hear the tiny metal clanking noises that the nipple clamps chain made as it struck the tight leather of the bustier. I felt I would die in ecstasy and wondered if Caroline would be rescued with me gone. My hazy mind was full of the headlines "Noted writer dies in kinky sex session, girlfriend unable to free herself dies of exposure." Then suddenly I exploded in her mouth. "Swallow every drop slave, every mark on the carpet is one on your hide." She needed no extra encouragement swallowing the cum with a terrified look on her face. I took hold of the gag around her neck and pushed the rubber mouthpiece against her lips. "Open wide slave, we have guests coming and it's time to make sure that you stay good and quiet!" She hesitated, but only for a second until she remembered the repercussions. The gag lesson was one that had been well learned. I strapped the gag tightly ensuring that she could make only the slightest of noises, then I dragged her across the room and behind a large couch. The spreader bar hog-tie arrangement was strict enough, but to avoid her rubbing her crotch against the floor I turned her on her back so that her heels and shoulders formed a tripod arrangement with her knees and pussy thrust high in the air. She moaned slightly at the uncomfortable position but hey, she's the slave. Still I did feel a little guilty after she gave such good head so I ran quickly to my office and got a little battery box for the dildo and butt plug. A few second to connect everything and she was buzzing away again. I'd set the device to a level that I thought was close to her orgasm point; it was possible she could get lucky and cum but restricted as she was I doubted it. "My friend is coming here slave," I said with maximum malice, "If he even suspects that you are here I'll make you suffer." Retrieving the remote I sat in a chair where I could see her clearly, then I punched in some numbers and waited. The house has an excellent surround sound system, over fifty compact speakers in discrete places in all the main rooms. Sam had contacts in the music industry and we had talked about hosting private concerts once we were married. With this in mind I had extended the system installing a number of mikes and a multitrack recorder so that I could record the events for later enjoyment. When Sam had dumped me the system had languished and the only use I'd made of it was during an impromptu game of "blindman's buff" I'd hosted during the house warming party. Still the success of that trick had inspired me to use it to test Caroline. Across the room came the sound of the door opening. "Ah Bob," My disembodied voice said, "What can I do for you?" "Sorry to trouble you Dick, but the portable printer I have seems to be broken." Bob Cummings was perhaps my closest neighbor and one of those people who are destined to be victims of technology. When he had discovered that I was a computer columnist he had immediately assumed that I would provide free technical support for his every problem. I had recorded this incident a few weeks before when his inkjet had run out of ink ("Oh, you mean I need to refill it??"). Since then I'd spent a couple of weekends making sure that it would sound like a real live event to someone on the floor in Caroline's position. The test was clear, she had been ordered not to draw attention to herself, yet as far as she knew a total stranger had just walked into the room. I watched her as the conversation turned to printers and refills. She moved occasionally, mainly thrusting her crotch in the air, but it was unclear if her intention was to get off or get free. In either case she made no obvious sounds. I began to wonder if she had discovered the deception, but I couldn't see how. The floors were concrete ensuring no conduction of footfalls and the sound quality was excellent. I sat and watched her as she made small movements behind the couch. This was not the thrashing and screaming I'd expected at this point but by now the voices could be heard only faintly from one of the other rooms. Several minutes passed then the conversation reentered the room from my study with Bob asking about the list price of my desktop printer ("I guess you don't know huh? I mean you journo's get given this kind of thing...") Phantom Bob was leaving, if she thought that there was any possibly of rescue she would have to make the move soon. I held my breath, waiting for the faint muffled scream the sudden thrashing of limbs but it didn't come. The posture collar made head movement impossible but with the little leg movement she had left she had turned on her side to face the departing sound. Yet despite the fact that "Phantom Bob" and I held a conversation just in front of the couch behind which she was hidden and she must have known that her gagged screams would carry at least that far; she made no attempt to alert him to her presence. Phantom Bob left and the recording ended. I went over to her and removed the hog-tie and spreader. I didn't bother to hobble her as high heeled boots are difficult enough to walk in. Attaching the leash I lead her downstairs. I removed the posture collar and replaced it with her usual one, removed the blindfold, then I removed the dildo and butt plug along with the leather panties. She was as expected very wet, and the slight moans that accompanied removal of the dildo seemed to confirm that she had still been denied an orgasm. I removed the pad gag and replaced the ballgag around her neck. "Very good slave. As a reward for your obedience I will leave you ungagged for the rest of the morning as long as you don't speak, understand?" She nodded her agreement. Then I took her back to her cell fastened her hands in front of her, with a chain to a ring on her collar ensuring that her crotch was out of reach. Then I refastened her collar to the wire and told her to get some sleep. She settled down happily, glad that the gag was still around her neck and not in her mouth. It was about twelve when I took her from the cell and back into the dungeon. She started to ask questions so I regagged her, she gave me a betrayed look but didn't kick up a fuss when I lead her to the table. I did have some trouble when I strapped her down so I upped the pressure. "Well, well, well, Cunt. So this is a demonstration of the of your obedience to your MASTER. All you are doing is making your punishment far worse." She stopped struggling and looked at me with big frightened eyes, I continued to tighten straps. I stood back and surveyed my handiwork. Her gloved hands where cuffed above her head, her collar fastened to the table. I had fastened her waist to the frame of the table with a wide leather belt and had cuffed her ankles to the two table legs. She was spread and vulnerable, her pussy on the very edge of the table and at the perfect height for sex. She must have realized this because she continued to struggle as best she could as I went over to the basement room. There I collected a towel and a basin I had brought from upstairs. Coming back to the table I put the basin down next to her and reached inside. The gag barely muffled her scream when I opened the straight razor in front of her. It was a family heirloom left to me by some great uncle. He had apparently taken it with him in his journeys around the world but I suspected that he had never taken it where I was about to. Gently I used the warm water to dampen the bush of fine brown hair between her legs. She stiffened beginning to see what I had in mind, I could see her pondering it. A minute ago she had been convinced she was about to be raped, now she faced this which was in many ways worse. I started to soap her crotch, being careful not to touch the bustier or the latex stockings. By the time I had brought the blade near to her helpless body she had decided that she wanted no part of it and started to squirm as best she could. Holding the razor up menacingly I smiled. "I'd stop that if I were you, this isn't the kind of place I'd like a nick." I played the light reflecting from the blade across her face. She froze, eyes firmly closed, breathing in short bursts, as still as a statue as I shaved her pussy. I didn't completely denude the area, I left a small oval patch just above her clit for decorative purposes. I had to confess that I'd done a good job as I ran my fingers over her smooth soft flesh. She groaned a little and I was suddenly aware of my almost painful hard on. Reaching down I opened her cunt lips and lowered by face onto her exposed clit. It would appear that the shave had been stimulating to her also, for the little nub was already engorged. Gently my tongue touched it, she heaved in a huge gasping breath, her hips straining against the imprisoning belt. I licked and a muffled groan issued from her gagged lips. I started in earnest, each lick, nibble or suck accompanied by a gasp groan or murmur from the far side of the table. I thrust my tongue deep in to her, savoring her salty flavor mixed with the smell of the soap and listening to her muffled whinnies as she went wild. I paused and looked up, fingering her with my gloved hand as I watched her, tear- filled eyes closed, hard thrusting nipples, mouth straining against the ball. I smiled, my slave on the brink of orgasm. She noticed the drop in sensation and looked up. "Want me to fuck you Slave?" She shook her head defiantly, I just fingered a little faster. One set of her lips slid helplessly over the rubber ball, the others over my leather fingers. Her breathing and moans came in staccato bursts and I knew she was close, so I stopped. She squealed something and tried to trust her hips up against my hand. Helpless, so close to cumming but unable to stimulate herself that extra little bit, she thrashed against her bonds. "I'll only ask once more Slave. Do you want to be fucked?" Her eyes were full of the terrible internal conflict, she so desperately wanted to cum but the humiliation of her position, to have to beg her rapist to fuck her... I helped her out, I turned away. She gave a muffled squeal and strained against the bonds, gloved hands and booted ankles tugging in futile desperation, the fire in her crotch burning away the last of her self respect. I turned, "Well Slave?" She closed her eyes, and nodded. In seconds I was in her, my shaft buried in her warm tight hole. As I thrust her pussy started spasming, drawing me further inside, her passion expressed as little gagged screams her body straining all the time. Under any circumstances she would have been a good fuck, but combined with her complete helplessness she turned me on more than any woman in my life. All thoughts of Samantha were swept away as we came together, her muffled scream filled the air as I pumped my load into her. I pulled out and cleaned us both up with the towel I'd brought to dry her. She seemed quiet so I leaned over and removed her gag. There was silence for a few minutes as I rehobbled her legs and prepared to unstrap her from the table. At last she spoke, "You raped me!" "WE had sex," I corrected, "Rape implies lack of consent, YOU asked me to fuck you twice and that nod wasn't my imagination either." "I'm your prisoner, you would have done it to me anyway." I smiled, "Be very careful what you say Cunt or you could make life hard for yourself. Truth is that you wanted it so bad you begged for it, and now that it's over you are horrified that you actually got off on it so suddenly you are the poor victim again." She was silent deep in thought as I eased her off the table and fastened her hands behind her. I reached for the gag. "Please don't," She smiled at me, a warm deep smile that convinced me that I had chosen the right girl. "Please Master, I thought we could talk for a while, if you explain what you want..." "Humm, obviously you paid more attention to your psych lectures than your grades suggest." She went pale. She swallowed nervously. "Who are you?" She asked, "I never said I was a psych major." I smiled, happy at her discomfort. "I am your master," I said. "I told you once before you are not a random choice. If you were then the police would probably be looking for you now. As it is I moved you out of your apartment, and left your back rent so that Mr. Philips will be happy that you're gone and won't ask any questions." I stepped back so she could see me counting things off on my fingers. "Lets see, I disposed of your car, YOU successfully got yourself fired, Alice and Brenda are at that trade show in Chicago and your mother complains that you never write regularly. Nobody knows you are gone, no one will even notice that you are missing. Even assuming that anyone reports you missing the police will think you left yourself. There will be no rescue because no one cares that you're gone." I saw her eyes fill with tears, "Lets face facts here, Caroline Conway was an easy victim, but she doesn't exist anymore, all that's left is a slave who doesn't know when to shut up." "Please," She said her voice full of desperation, "You don't have to gag me again. I hate it, I can't swallow properly and it hurts. This place must be sound proof or you wouldn't have risked leaving me ungagged earlier. You don't have to do it I'll be quiet I promise." I smiled. "You misunderstand Cunt, you are gagged because I want you gagged. You're right about the room being soundproofed, but the real point here is that I own you. Whether you are, awake or asleep, hot or cold, noisy or silent *I* decide. If you want to talk to me, that is a privilege you earn through your obedience, not a right. Property doesn't have rights slave I suggest you remember that." I looked at the despair in her eyes as I pushed the bright red ball between her teeth. Reaching behind her head I tightened the strap. "Later today you'll get a chance to show your obedience slave, If you follow orders you'll have a few hours ungagged, we'll talk then." My gloved thumb traced the line of her lips as they formed an O around the ball. "There, that's MUCH better. Trust me slave in a few years you'll feel uncomfortable when you're NOT wearing a gag." My finger caught the single silent tear that ran down her cheek, she sobbed as the full impact of her situation hit home. "Get use to the idea slave, it isn't as bad as it first appears." I lead her back to her cell, attached the wire to her collar and left her sobbing on the bed. Chapter 4: "A Timetable for Domination" I went back upstairs and made myself a coffee, thinking of my slave, of the plans I had made and of "Phantom Bob." As the scent of warm Java spread about the kitchen I sat and reviewed the days events. Months ago, when a real living and breathing Caroline was just a wet dream, I had planned out the first few days with my new slave. I had foreseen her fear, her anger and her attempts to escape. I had planned for each in turn molding her reactions and my responses into a mental document I called (with a typical writer's flare) "A Timetable for Domination." It started with the preparation for the kidnapping ebbed and flowed through the snatch and the training and the bondage and the sex to a scene that was painted so vividly in my mind's eye that it seemed almost real. Slave and I would enter a fashionable New York night club (dressed in tasteful fetish wear naturally). I would spy Samantha at the bar and signaling Slave to come close (she always walks two steps behind as a sign of respect for her master) I instruct her to seduce Sam by any means possible. Slave (she hasn't answered to Caroline in so long she doesn't even recognize the name) smiles and happily complies, this is far from the worse thing I've ever asked her to do and the thought of disobeying never crosses her carefully conditioned mind. Later I would reveal myself to Sam forcing her to do unspeakable humiliating things less I publish the photos of her lesbian fling. The circle would be complete, capturing Caroline to enact my revenge on Sam. Then using her to get that revenge. But of course that was fantasy and reality wasn't proving to be that simple. In my mental timetable things were certain and secure her reactions easy to envisage. First would be denial, a refusal to face up to the kidnapping and her new position as my sex slave. This sort of thing wasn't supposed to happen to her! This happened to bad girls who talked to strangers or accepted candy, or hitchhiked. She had avoided everything that her mother had warned her about and yet she was still bound and gagged, chained up in a guy's basement and forced to do... things. I'd figured this attitude would probably persist for a few days then I expected her to redouble her attempts at escape. Then slowly would come acceptance and a listless despair. Finally under the strict domination and conditioning she would adapt and begin to accept her new life as my slave. I firmly expecting to be able to take her on our fated club date inside of two years. Yet the "Phantom Bob incident had worried me. I wasn't stupid I'd always realized that there would be a degree of variation in my plans once there was a real woman in the equation but I'd been surprised at how little trouble she's given me overall. She'd been kidnapped less than twenty four hours, I'd expected more of a fight until she accepted the hopelessness of her situation. That acceptance was the first step towards truly breaking her. I'd wanted it to be long and slow so that when it came the despair would be that much greater. Yet whenever I pushed her she seemed to back down and like a reed in the wind without resistance I couldn't break her. I'd expected her to try and signal "Bob" had thrilled with the thoughts of despair that would grip her when she failed and above all had looked forward to punishing her disobedience. The dirty scheme that had been festering in the back of my mind since I read her mail that morning had started to pull together ideas and plans that I'd reserved for later. The whole thing was just so obvious, so perfectly simple and yet inescapable that I just had to do it, but for it to work I needed an excuse to punish her. Over the past few months I'd read a lot of bondage fiction. Every time I stopped off in New York for dungeon supplies I'd included a magazine or two and a few videos for "research" purposes. One of the real dumb things that these stories tend to say is that there is always a reason to punish the slave. "The slave is always guilty," is a favorite line, written by a guy whose closest link with slavery is the pittance he pays his models. In truth you should never punish the slave for nothing, you are trying to impress your values on her, they must always be consistent. Obedience means reward, even if the reward is something she had as a right in her former life like spending time ungagged. Disobedience means punishment, you can always substitute a lesser punishment than the one you threaten and you can offer the possibility of redemption or reduction in exchange for some service but in general if she's bad she's punished. The secret (if there is one) is to treat the slave as you would a dog. Tell her she's a clever slave when she obeys and always do something in recognition. Punish or withhold something when she's bad, but only when she's bad. There are guys who beat their dogs constantly, this results in nervous anxious dogs. Then there are guy's who beat their women constantly and they have nervous anxious women. Strangely it's rare for either dog or woman to run away from such people, I still haven't figured out why. In my case I needed an excuse to punish Caroline, any excuse would have done but for whatever reason I needed her to know that *SHE* was responsible. This could be no arbitrary action of mine she must have done something to deserve it. It's a strangely human failing that someone is more likely to do something they wouldn't ordinarily do in order to make amends rather than to do you a favor. Right now I needed her apprehensive and willing to please if my new plan was to work. I flicked on the video camera and watched as she lay on the bed. I was again immediately hard and as I sat and drank the warm dark liquid I got more and more excited until in the end I was forced to shut down the monitor and think of other things, like photography. One of the fringe benefits of living with an editor at Vogue is your access to models, designers and photographers. One of the few people I met through Sam who I really liked was a talented fashion photographer called Andy Pearson. Most people probably haven't even heard of him but if you have ever glanced at the cover of a fashion magazine while waiting in line at the checkout chances are you've seen his work. Andy is a guy's guy, a big brash New Zealander who came to New York via the far east and a large chunk of Europe. He is also one of that growing club of Sam's cast offs. In fact it was he who helped me pick up the pieces after the wedding was canceled. I really don't know how I could have managed without his help and in the process he became my best friend. If Andy is a great guy he's a brilliant photographer. With seeming ease he juggles the twenty or so variables necessary to make a good photo, great. His pictures make his models beautiful and show off the clothes to maximum effect. A classic "Pearson" has a spontaneity about it that makes a carefully posed piece look like the kind of shot you would take of your girlfriend on an outing (well it *would* be if you were a top photographer, and she was a supermodel). What he does he does so well that at least one magazine calls the cover photo, which is of course the most important in any issue, the "Pearson shot". I've seen him coax fantastic poses out of young girls just starting in the business then slap down a "difficult" supermodel in successive breaths. He moves, molds and commands women in a way that few BDSM doms could even hope to match. In the way friends do we started to take interest in each others work. Through him my interest in photography expanded. I have always prided myself that I am a good photographer, and as my friends have married I have had enough invites "suggesting" that I might bring a camera to confirm this. Andy however transformed that. He has a love for the technology of photography and as time went on I taught him how to use computers and he taught me the tricks of the pro's. The fusion of our skills produced something that little bit different and was exactly what I would need if my plan was to succeed. For my plan needed photos, some the cheery snapshots to send to the Conway's, some more hardcore. Some would have to look *very* professional, some like they were taken by a talentless hack. With all the complexity for a second I considered giving Andy a call and asking his advice. Trouble was that he loved this kind of stuff and if he could I just knew he would invite himself over. So in the end I consulted the local yellow pages and found a list of photo suppliers in the nearest town. I would have to use what he taught me and just wing the rest. I ate a light lunch, one of those pizza bag things that I'd bought with the idea of eating cold on the road. Needless to say it was disappointing but I suppose it hit the spot. I checked on Caroline, who was still sobbing on the bed, then locked up and went to the garage. Inside was a large Chevy van that I'd bought because my main car, a 1958 Triumph TR2, doesn't have much carrying space. The van was a sort of half conversion, it was carpeted and had a couple of captain's chairs but with the exception of a largish bench seat on one side everything was removable for maximum cargo capacity. I backed out, careful to miss both the roadster and the big old car I'd used for the kidnapping. I looked upon it with some regret, it was a large powerful land boat that had been a pleasure to drive but my safety came first. I had already made arrangements to scrap the car and intended to watch it being crushed so that I was sure that the evidence was destroyed. For now I locked up the garage and headed for town. The first two photography stores I tried were closed, New England not being as good for Sunday shoppers as some places. The next had nothing that I needed and I was starting to regret not calling around first. However eventually, late in the afternoon, I found somewhere that could supply at least my basic needs. I spent about two hundred dollars mainly on film and paper and got a referral to another shop which catered to the local pro photographic circuit. The rest would have to wait until tomorrow though I had a hunch that I would have plenty of time. A quick detour to one of those DIY warehouses got me all the other things I needed. I arrived home with some apprehension half expecting a police car in the drive. Of course it wasn't there, the house was undisturbed and a quick check on my guest confirmed that she was ok and was even managing an afternoon nap. I put on another pot of coffee and started in earnest. I refrigerated the film and prepped a camera then took off downstairs to ready the "studio". I worked most of the afternoon putting up shower curtains and dustsheets to disguise the dungeon walls and cover the furniture. I set up lights and placed a camera on a tripod in preparation. Finally at about 7PM I was ready for my model. She awoke as I came into the room and said something behind the gag. I freed her from the wire, and checked her bonds, giving her time to get frustrated before removing the muzzle. She wanted to know what was going on, why I'd left her, what would happen next. I was starting to wish I could keep her gagged but the plan required that she should be able to speak so without answering anything I took her back into the dungeon. She blinked as we stepped through the doors, the lights in her room automatically dim to a level that lets the surveillance cameras work but allows her to sleep. Stepping from that twilight into the glare of the photofloods caught her off balance. "Master, what's all this for?" "For you slave," I answered innocently, "We're going to take a few pictures." I watched her swallow, her eyes panned around the room to the small table I'd set up near the camera. I'd put an array of vibrators, dildos and floggers out for her inspection, it didn't take a genius to figure out what kind of pictures these were to be. "No," She said, "I can't." "*I* slave? I thought we had this discussion last night," I said starting to up the pressure. She paused, her brain going through the mental gymnastics necessary to convert the sentence into a more acceptable form, when she finally spoke I had to admit she'd done a pretty good job. "Master, your slave, she really can't... Please." "*MY* slave can and will do what I order her to," I said deliberately pouring as much menace as I could into my voice. "She's a slut whore, she likes doing slut whore kinds of things. Right now all this whore wants to do is jam this dildo up her crack while I take pictures. Isn't that true slut?" Her eyes filled with tears, "Please..." I pulled her close and stuck two fingers in her cunt, with her hands still cuffed behind her there was little she could do. "Isn't that true!" She nodded wordlessly, my other hand started to massage one of her latex covered tits and was surprised to find the nipple already hard. "Why don't you say it slut." "Your slave..." "NO!" I shouted, "Say this whore." "The..the..this whore..." "...Wants to jam this rubber fuck toy up her crack until she cums." "Wha..." "...Wants to do this 'cos she's a cheap painted slut. Who needs to fuck. Anything will do as long as there's a tool inside her." She stood there, mouth working silently, tears once again in full flow. I continued to massage cunt and tit. "Does that feel good slave," I asked watching the confusion on her face, "You know why don't you? It's because you're a whore, you like being used by men don't you?" Still silence. "You wanted to know why I took you? It's because the first time I saw you I thought, now there goes one hot little slut I'll bet she fucks like a train." My hands continued but this wasn't a gentle teasing, this was an all out degrading grope. I pulled her close while burying more of my gloved fingers in her wet pussy. "I noticed the way you suck whore. You may be a parson's daughter but you ain't no choir girl. Now tell me, did you get that good playing nurse with the local farm boys or did you have an evening job I didn't know about?" I watched her intently, there still wasn't the reaction I'd expected, she cried, she whimpered but she didn't fight back. I needed a method to push this further but I couldn't think of a suitable way. "Say it!" I hissed, "Tell me that you are a cheap slut." "I-I'm a chea..." "This whore!!" "This whore..." "Sexy slave, say it sexy! I want you to pant in out like a bitch in heat! I want you to sound like the filthy little tart you really are." I grabbed a huge black rubber dildo from the table and waved it in front of her startled eyes. "Beg me for it slave! Nice and sexy I want you to tell me what a worthless whore you are, and how you'll do anything to have this up your crack." She started, stammering to fit all I'd wanted into the sentence, tears in full flow. Disappointed I decided to let her finish and snap a few photo's for the collection in any case. Now her eye's were adjusted to the light she had started to scan the dungeon. Most was covered with dust cloths to hide it's true nature all except for one corner which I'd been deliberately set dressing so it looked more like dungeons in TV shows. By that I mean that I'd fastened bits and pieces of bondage paraphernalia to the grid work on the wall. There were leather masks, gags, hoods, cuffs and harnesses all strapped to the wall in a hap hazard fashion. Caroline's eyes flickered from one to the other deducing each time what they were used for and realizing with certainty that they had been bought to use on her. Finally her eyes had rested on one harness arrangement that I'd bought on the spur of the moment just before I'd gone to pick her up. I must confess to always liking the idea of girl on girl action. One of the contingency's that had worked it's way into the "timetable" prior to the kidnapping had been the idea of the capture being discovered by another girl, perhaps a coworker, and my having to overpower and take her too so that she couldn't identify me. It was in truth a fantasy, a wet dream, I cared too much for life and liberty to have risked a casual discovery. Yet the fantasy had been so strong that I'd even taken along an extra cuff and gag set just in case. It had also caused me to buy this item on impulse. The owner of the sex shop had called it a "Lezbo Harness", simply this is a very long dildo fastened to a pair of strap on leather panties. One half of the dildo goes in one girl and she uses the second half to fuck a friend and all the rocking back and forth brings them both off. Lot's of people wouldn't recognize one if they saw it, but the strange look on Caroline's face told me she knew exactly what it was. I didn't know what the story was but I could tell she didn't like it. Her concentration was broken and she stammered to a halt. And in that second I had an inspiration. "Pathetic slave," I said forcing my face close to hers, " I hope your sister is better." "M-my sister?" "Yes, Anna isn't it?" I asked coolly, "Quite a well developed girl for sixteen. She's obviously a little whore as well. When I found out about her I got to thinking what a wonderful matched set you two would make. Anna looks like a goer, I bought that harness today so that I could see just how you two would do together. You know sisterly love and all that" She looked stunned, shaken, I pressed my advantage. "I know where she lives, know where she goes to school. Being a farm girl you must know just how quiet the country is, how many lonely places she must walk through every day. Compared to you she'll be easy. Were you comfortable in my trunk? She's got further to travel than you have so if you have any suggestions on how we can make her more comfortable do speak up." Caroline went white, I continued to fondle her. "Just imagine how ironic it will be that the first your parents will know about your disappearance is when they try to tell you that I've kidnapped your sister." I smiled and made a dismissive gesture, "You know I think you're right, we'll hold off on these photos until Anna gets here." I snapped my fingers (not easy when you're wearing gloves), "I know, we'll send a couple of prints to your mother, a memento to console her in this time of loss!" By now I was in a really evil frame of mind. "How about the two of you bound and gagged to the wall... Better yet she's bound and gagged and you are eating out her pussy... NO! of course, she's bound and gagged wearing the harness, you're kneeling bound and gagged in front of her and she's reaming your ass out!" I leered at her, "Has to be one for the album. Eh slave?" By now her tears where in full flow and through the hand I had buried in her pussy I felt her body tremble. "NO!" She screamed and kicked me knocking herself off balance and teetering on the tall stiletto heels. She would have fallen but for the hand I had inside her. Sure it was painful, but the hobble was still in place and so the kick was no real power. She caught her breath almost immediately, a look of horror spreading across her face as she realized the enormity of what she'd just done. She now knew that I could be brutal if pushed and that look told me that she'd remembered the incident with the gag that morning. "Please... I'... this whore... is sorry." She must have seen the anger in my eyes. "Please master... this whor..re will obey. Please don't hurt me!" I dragged her towards the cell, she hesitated, her position was helpless, she couldn't resist and if she tried she risked further punishment. Yet part of her mind told her hat if she was lead back to that cell she would have no way to defuse the situation. She sort of half fought as I returned her to the cell and reattached the wire to her collar. She begged, pleaded and wept as I filled a plastic beaker with water and brought it over. She was in full panic offering herself, any photo I wanted, anything at all, because she said she'd remembered that the penalty for attacking me was disfigurement and the incident with the gag this morning had convinced her that I would carry through. Now it was my turn to be shocked. My mind flashed back through everything I had told her about Rule 1 and the cost of disobedience. I could remember telling her something about threatening my safety but by that I'd meant trying to escape or seriously hurt me. Knocks and kicks I'd expected in the early days which was one of the reasons for the hobble. Somehow in her terror she'd misunderstood. She was heading towards hysteria and I almost considered correcting her but then she was rapidly approaching the frame of mind I would need for the plan. In the end I got her to drink then offered the ball to her. She wanted to talk, to plicate while there was still time but she also knew the penalty for refusing the gag. Terrified she opened her mouth and I gagged her fastening the strap a little tighter than was strictly necessary to reinforce my "anger". The moment I let go she rubbed her gagged mouth against my arm, making little noises, begging wordlessly for it's removal. I rechecked her bonds and made to leave she continued to whine, eyes huge, imploring. I looked down on her, "Sleep slave," I said, "Don't worry about the punishment, it will come soon enough." Then without looking back, I left securing the door behind me; and breathing a huge sigh of relief. It had taken a lot of effort but finally I had her where I needed her. Alone in her cell her mind was already magnifying her crime and it's imagined punishments. By tomorrow she would be ready. I worked on until about ten, mainly doing preparatory desktop publishing work upstairs. Like all writers I've built up a hoard of unused material against the day when tight schedules or the dreaded writers block would leave me without copy. The kidnapping had been in the planning stages for several months and during that time I'd been collecting idea's and information in a similar way. I had a collection of things I'd intended to send to the Conways to make them believe Caroline was elsewhere. One of these, a holdout I'd only intended to use if they seemed to be going to the police, now had a more cunning use that would hopefully ensure that they would never know their daughter was missing. Finishing up I visited the cell before going to bed. The cameras were well hidden and there was some benefit in making her believe that I needed to check on her personally . The tight gag was giving her trouble so after giving her another drink (during which she was warned not to speak), I refastened it in a loose hap hazard kind of way. Again she rubbed her mouth against me and again I refused to ungag her and talk. I left and went to bed. ** Next morning I was up bright and early. A quick camera check showed her asleep in her cell. During the night she'd managed to work the gag off, not a difficult task as the ball can be rolled over the lower jaw even when the strap is quite tight. Tutting to myself I collected the post and answered my Email. I headed down to the dungeon. I'd done a lot of preparation work already, it's transformation into an impromptu photographic studio was almost completed and with the exception of some more equipment my primary need was for a little attitude adjustment for my principle model. I paused to collect some things from the cabinet and to lower one of the pulleys attached to the ceiling. I'd intended this rig to be used for a really big punishment and had everything necessary to suspend my slave several feet above the ground. For now however all I needed to do was keep her uncomfortable. She woke with a start as I entered the room. "What's the meaning of this slave?" "Meaning?" She was obviously a little slow in the mornings. I waved the ball under her nose. "I left you gagged slave, I expect to find you gagged when I return is that clear?" She nodded silently. "I left it loose last night so that you could sleep easier and you repay my kindness like this!" "It hurt..." "I know lots of other things that hurt slave," I said menacingly, "As you'll discover later." "Master please, I didn't mean to kick you!" "I'd thought it over last night and I *WAS* thinking of giving you a break..." "Oh yes, please master." "Then I find you've disobeyed me again." She looked downhearted. I was generally pleased, she was starting to call me master with none of the self- conscious hesitation that had troubled her the day before. For the time being I was letting up on her use of *I* but when *MASTER* became totally natural to her I would insist that she call herself *SLAVE* to emphasize our relative positions and the name Caroline would begin to be wiped from her mind. For the time being I gave her a drink then freed her hands. "Loose the top," I said. For a second or two she seemed confused. Then realizing, she slipped her way out of the tight latex bustier, letting her breasts swing free. She was about to remove the latex stockings but I stopped her. Instead I had her tighten the little draw strings in the tops that held them up without the garters. I think she was in a dilemma, happy to be out of the sweaty rubber she had worn for nearly two days but apprehensive that her torso was now naked. I had her use the toilet then fastened her hands, gagged her and lead her into the dungeon. I'd left a pile of straps and rods on the table and the look on her face told me that she didn't know what they were. The look of fear told me that she didn't want to find out. Amongst the pile the only obvious things were the snap on leather panties, butt plug and vibrator. Remembering the day before she gave me no trouble, spreading her legs when asked, in return I paid more attention to her pussy than was strictly necessary to lubricate the vibrator. A couple of snaps later and the tight leather panties held both intruders firmly in place. The vibration levels where set high enough to keep her occupied but not quite enough for her to get off. Still she had started an involuntary squirming by the time I got to the next item. For this I laid her on the floor then started by tying one of her ankles to one of the rods that formed the strange apparatus. I think at first she thought it was a standard spreader bar despite its length. She only started to see the truth when I tied the other end along her opposing thigh rather than the ankle. I roped the end to her leg just below the knee then used another line to tie the ankles together. It's complicated to explain but in essence I had tied her in the standard "kneeling to propose" stance. One high heeled boot was planted flat on the ground, leg rising vertically to the knee which was bent. Along the thigh of this leg a rod was tied and its far end attached to the other ankle. The other leg rested on its knee unbound until the ankle was tied to the rod. A cord between vertical ankle and horizontal ankle held her legs in a rigid triangle. She realized immediately that this was very uncomfortable and tried to struggle into a better position but of course there wasn't one. I removed collar and gag, she knew better than complain guessing that this was one of the punishments I'd promised. I gathered her hair back into a ponytail to keep it out of the way then started fitting her with a head harness. First up was the gag, a large dense sponge ball attached to a strap. She gave me no trouble, opening up as it approached. I stuffed the rubber into her open mouth then tightened the chin strap, this ball wasn't slipping out. It took a while to fit everything but when finished a nest of straps covered her head in such a way as to hold the ball in her mouth and then clamp her jaw closed around it. As an experiment I seized one of her nipples and squeezed hard, almost no sound emerged from behind the straps though her tear filled eyes where full of pain. The harness was obviously too complicated to fit quickly but if I ever needed to transport her any distance this would keep her quiet enough to hide almost anywhere. In addition to the gag the harness had several mountings for other things like additional blindfolds, but two large buckles at the back were designed for attaching to a special posture collar. The collar was fitted to a rod which in turn snapped into the rod used to secure the legs. Fastening harness to collar, and collar to rod held the head firmly in place and meant that any tension in the head harness was transmitted directly to the rods and not the wearer. This was needed because the harness had a suspension loop on the top of the head. I attached this to the pulley in the ceiling then pulled everything tight. As an afterthought I used some spare cord to tie her wrists and elbows to the vertical rod then stood back and viewed my handiwork. She rested fitfully, all her weight on one high heeled foot and one knee, tied into a rigid triangle. Her gloved arms were pulled back along the supporting rod, dragging shoulders back and thrusting naked breasts outwards. It was a tight uncomfortable position but very little complaint could emerge from her well packed mouth. In fact as she stood there and the little beads of sweat broke out across her exposed skin the most prominent sound came from the vibrator, pressed hard against the taught leather panties and using them as a sounding board. The bondage seemed to have robbed her even of control of her internal muscles, for despite the dribble of juices that had started down her leg and the tiny almost negligible thrusting of her pelvis, the vibrator did none of the ins and outs of the day before. I left her like that for a few minutes then added the blindfold and a pair of earplugs. Alone in her sensory deprivation with only the pain for company I left her to contemplate the cost of disobedience. I busied myself cleaning the cell and changing the toilet, once I paused briefly and ran my gloved palm over the hard nub of one of her erect nipples. I thought I heard a sigh, though her gag was so tight that seems unlikely, in any case her fingers flexed briefly in response, that being the only movement she could make. For a while I just sat and watched her as the droplets of sweat rolled over the uncovered portion of her torso. I became aware of the tiny gasps and moans that escaped her mouth, sound that would have been screams and groans but for the gag. For I was in no doubt that she was in agony, the human body is designed to move and we twist and turn even in sleep, to be held so rigidly in one position starts out uncomfortable and rapidly becomes torture. Almost all of her weight was on one heel and one knee, her shoulders pulled painfully back. Deaf and dumb, blind and bound her only active senses where filled by pain. I paused a moment, then went upstairs and called the photography shop I'd been referred to the day before, placing an order for immediate pickup. Then I started into breakfast. Usually I'm a cereal man, the day is too short to waste cooking breakfast, but on this occasion I started into a full spread including pancakes and syrup. As I poured a fresh coffee I was for some reason reminded of the "Phantom Bob" episode of the day before. Puzzled I walked over to the large couch and pulled it away from the wall. Here was the spot where Caroline had laid during the recording, her position marked by the tiny depressions made by her stiletto heels in the new carpet. Out of curiosity I put down the cup, picked up the remote and lay as she had. I punched in the code and closed my eyes using only the sound and feel as a guide. The recording was perfect, I lay there until the toast started to burn but could find not one thing wrong. I got up even more confused yet the truth was the truth, she had been given a chance to escape but had decided to obey me, her kidnapper, her rapist instead. I made breakfast, eggs, sausage, bacon, toast with pancakes and syrup and a new mug of coffee. Putting everything on a tray I headed down to the dungeon. I knew that she could smell the food, though of course she could give no physical indication in her current condition. I busied myself preparing table and chair then went over to her. It had been about an hour since I'd left her but it was clear that it had been long enough. I released the pulley then freed her legs but left her hands bound to the vertical rod and the head harness in place. I helped her up, it took a couple of minutes before she could stand unaided, then I led her to the table. Still staggering a little and of course still blindfolded she needed my help for support and guidance her naked torso pressed against mine, and suddenly I was hard again. When we reached the table I sat down first dragging her on to my lap careful to avoid the trailing bar. I looked at her. The harness framed her pretty face with black leather with only the gag and blindfold intruding on her features. Her mouth was clamped firmly around the ball, lips wide, frozen in silent exclamation, her stifled tears flowed behind the mask of the blindfold and ran down the contours of her cheek. Gently I reached up and unsnapped the blindfold from it's fastenings, she blinked as sight was restored and her red eyes fought to focus. "Glad you could join me slave," I said courteously. The collar prevented head movement so she bent over slightly to see the contents of the tray. She said something too faint and muffled to make out but then her stomach growled so loud it shocked us both. I reached up and massaged an exposed breast, she tried to pull back but was too restricted. In the end she just sat stiffly to attention as I ran my gloved hand over her breasts across her tight stomach and down between her legs. The vibrator was still hard at it and I could feel her ass wiggle in unison with the butt plug so I left them in place and instead massaged the inside of her thigh. Only the subtle change in her breathing betrayed what was going on inside her bound body. Satisfied I started into breakfast. I think I'd managed my third mouthful by the time she realized the gag was staying in and that none of the meal was for her. Still tightly bound and gagged there was little she could do but sit and watch as I wolfed it down. I deliberately ignored her small movements, her only other option was to kick me and that is what had got her into this mess in the first place. Frustrated she watched me eat until only the pancakes were left. I waved a fork full across her face just to get her reaction. I deliberately didn't finish but instead turned to her. "Didn't think I'd forgotten did you slave?" She of course had no way to answer. I picked up the little jug of syrup and very slowly dribbled some on to her exposed breasts. It was cold, she jumped a little, but in the end she had two little streams of brown running down her chest and over the hard brown buds of her nipples. I started to lick it off. At first I think she was outraged to be denied food then used as a plate. Yet as I pressed on she became visibly aroused, closing her eyes and arching her back even more than it was already. She was panting and just a little flushed when I got the last drop. She was so distracted I don't think she saw the blindfold in my hand until it was snapped in place. I lead her back to the rest of the apparatus and started to reapply it, I think she was tempted to struggle but realized it was useless. In five minutes she was back on one leg and the torture began afresh. I went back upstairs then headed to town for my supplies. I made a significant purchase, enough to get the attention of the manager. We chatted and I fed him a line about being a keen amateur wanting to branch out into the pro circuit. As I suspected he had connections with several local modeling agencies and he kept small portfolios so that photographers could choose their models. I went through the books picking models that could pass for Caroline at varying distances and noting their details. One girl in particular caught my eye, her name was Vicky and with the exception of her hair color she matched Caroline in build and looks. I took careful notes then collected my supplies and returned home. Chapter 5: "The Pearson Shot" Caroline was unsurprisingly exactly where I'd left her. She had been in the same position for nearly ninety minutes and was obviously suffering. I released her legs and then carried her back to the cell. Once there I stripped off the boots and stockings and gently massaged her legs until I was sure she was ok. She was still gagged with the harness and her arms were still tied to the rod. I went and collected some cotton rope and a few other things from the cabinet. On returning I replaced the boots locking them back in place with the simple fixings attached to the zippers. The stockings I left off because to be honest they badly needed cleaning. I liked Caroline's naked body but gloves and high heels make a lot of sense as a slave uniform. For starters they stop the bonds chafing wrists and ankles and thus make the slave more comfortable. Both are additional bonds; high heels make an excellent hobble and the gloves reduce the finger's tactile sense and dexterity which is always useful. In addition the gloves also mean that you don't need to worry about your slave leaving fingerprints lying around. If for example I was burgled and the police dusted for prints I wouldn't have to explain why those of a missing coed were in my house. And of course they look sexy. I used the cord to tie Caroline's legs together making tight cuffs of rope around her ankles and above and below her knees. In all cases I clinched the cord tightly to ensure she couldn't move. Next after warnings about talking I removed the harness and replaced her collar. She wiggled a bit as I removed the earplugs but then waited patiently as I released her wrists. She looked up with large doe eyes, the image of a disgraced sheepdog. I threw her a large sponge ball. "Gag yourself." She picked up the ball and looked at it doubtfully. "You removed the last one without permission, from now on you're responsible for being gagged. You'll put it in and you'll ensure it stays there! You have thirty seconds or you have another punishment session." Argument was useless and she'd been ordered to keep quiet. She paused for only a second then did something she had never done in her life before, with hands trembling she started to cram the hard sponge ball into her mouth. It proved to be quite a struggle as the ball was the largest I had. Finally however it was firmly in place a large phosphorescent yellow mass completely filling her mouth. I wondered for a moment if the people at Nerf had ever thought of marketing their product for this use then I casually tossed her a long length of white cotton cloth. "Tie it in place, good and tight." With my encouragement she placed the cloth band between her teeth and pulled it tight. I got her to tighten it until her cheeks bulged over the white cotton band and the horrid yellow ball was completely covered then I had her knot it firmly behind her head. Finally I tied her gloved arms as I had her legs and stood back to admire the view. Call me old fashioned but there is something about a girl tied with rope that always reminds me of Saturday morning serials. Modern restraints are good, I couldn't hope to keep Caroline as secure as I do without them, but they lack a certain spontaneity. In the old serials the young heroine would stumble on the villain's plan and end up tied with rope and gagged with a handkerchief struggling on the floor. Rope and cloth are common, you could imagine the villain digging some up on the spur of the moment but ballgags, cuffs and the like aren't the sorts of things you find just lying about. So Caroline lay struggling like the Republic heroines of a bygone age, the difference being that "King of the Rocket Men" was not about to save her. Rather than fasten the wire to her collar I decided to try another device. I stroked her exposed breasts listening to the renewed moans from behind her gag. When each nipple was good and hard I fastened a little clamp on it and tightened it with a small hex wrench. Once in place the clamp could only be removed with the tool. A chain was attached to the clamps and this I fastened to the bed frame. She watched silently the message clear, to keep her nipples intact she would have to lie quietly on the bed. "These are only temporary," I said reassuringly as I wiggled the chain. "They'll do until I can have you pierced." Her eye's flashed open in shock and a startled sound erupted from her gagged mouth. "Well, I told you the consequences of attacking me," I said, "I'm thinking of a little gold ring for each nipple and maybe one for your nose." She shook her head and made muffled sounds. For the first time since she got here she really struggled against her bonds, but the ropes held firm. I ignored her but reached down between her legs. "Maybe a couple down here," I said slipping my hand inside the panties. She looked horrified at the prospect. I smiled sweetly and cranked the vibrator up a notch. "Have fun!" I said and left bolting the door behind me. By now I was sure she was almost ready, she was tired, hungry and very frightened. Further she knew that she needed to get back in my good books as soon as she could if she was to avoid mutilation. I let her stew a while longer and prepared a light meal. As I ate I went through the list of models I'd compiled. There was quite some variety ranging from obvious professionals to girls who only worked part time for the local agencies spending their days serving behind shop counters or in restaurants. Vicky, the girl I'd initially selected, had been in what the manager had called his "Blue book" which was apparently for girls who didn't go through an agency. I had mixed feelings about this, on the one hand I wanted as little record of our relationship as possible but at the same time I needed her to be professional. Too much time can be wasted with an inexperienced model. In the end I risked it and gave her a call. I got her machine meaning she probably had a day job so I left the barest details and asked that she call me back. Then I pressed on with the plan. I found Caroline's makeup box amongst the things I'd taken from her apartment. For a girl who sold makeup she had a surprisingly limited range. Fortunately Samantha had left a lot of things behind when she moved out. An assistant editor at Vogue must receive a lot of free makeup samples because even the small box she had forgotten was packed to the brim with lipsticks, blushers and eye makeup. Sam had also left behind one of the dresses I'd bought her, a black silky evening dress whose only crime was not coming from a major designer. I moved them downstairs to the dungeon and added some things from the wardrobe. Recovering the leather blindfold and the crop I returned to the cell and removed the nipple clamps and the bindings for her legs. Her nips were still red and engorged and obviously very sensitive. I pulled her body over mine and placed one hand on her breast as I removed the panties. I ran my hand over her nipple and made some comment about silver being perhaps a better match for her complexion. She lay helpless in my arms weakly shaking her head and attempted to speak, her eyes large and frightened. I looked down at her. "Your choice," I said, "The nipples or the photo's." A look of relief spread across her face. "You must realize slave that in order to account for your actions yesterday there will be a penalty to pay. We will be taking a lot more photo's than we would have had you behaved and they will be a lot more explicit." She looked at the floor for a second weighing up her alternatives then she looked up and nodded eagerly. "You must follow my orders exactly, quickly and the best you can understand?" Again the nod. "If I feel that you aren't giving me what I want then the deals off." She nodded again. " IF I tell you to smile while fucking a pig, you'll smile big and bright as if you really enjoy it or tomorrow we fit you for a little extra jewelry, understand?" Her eyes had bulged a little at the mention of a pig, but she still nodded with vigorous energy. After removing vibrator and buttplug I replaced the cloth with her usual ballgag. I did it myself as I didn't want to untie her but I made it clear that I would still hold her responsible for presence of the gag then I fastened a leash to her collar. Reaching down I fitted the hobble on her ankles and covered her large questioning eyes with the blindfold. Then I led her upstairs. Once in the house I took her up to a bathroom on the second floor where I removed the blindfold, boots and hobble and helped her into the bath. Near the shower head was a D ring set in the ceiling nominally used to hold up a shower rack. With the rack removed the true purpose was apparent and I locked her leash to it. She watched as I started to undress, getting her first real look at my naked body. I'm not a big man, certainly not by porn film standards but I'd been ignoring this erection for the better part of two days. Now with the proximity of her helpless naked body it came back with a vengeance. Her eyes bulged as it slapped against my leg, I tried desperately to imaging people gutting fish (an old trick my father told me to rapidly get out of the mood). Then I stepped in behind her. For the first time in out relationship she was wearing more than I was though I think the irony of this was lost on her. I turned on the water letting it play over her head and down the flanks of her body. The light here was better than in the dungeon and I could clearly make out last summers bikini line. Almost as expected she wasn't radical in her choice of swimwear and there were large areas that had never seen sunlight. I left her for a moment letting the water do its work. Then I picked up a bottle of shampoo and started to massage it into her thick mane of blond hair. My fingers worked into her scalp in gentle smooth caresses. Years ago when I was a student there had been a barbers shop just off campus called Al's. Al had started the place back in '46 when he'd finally been let out of the army. For thirty years Al's had 2 barbers chairs and 4 seats in the waiting room and in all that time he'd never been overcrowded. Then in the summer of '78 he'd taken on a girl called Maria to wash hair for him. Maria was some relative from a distant part of Al's huge Italian family wanting a little vacation money. She also knew the secret of washing hair. She did it slow in gentle sweeps punctuated by heavy washing, massaging the scalp with long strong sensitive fingers. For the first time in thirty years Al's had to take bookings, with his usual style Al bowed to the inevitable and bought another chair in the waiting room. Maria proved very popular with the male students and was invited to all the best campus parties for the rest of the year. And Caroline, bound and gagged in my bathroom was now benefiting from Maria's legacy, eyes closed, she moaned softly, as I shampooed her hair. We rinsed, rewashed and conditioned, and I began to feel the tension leaching from my slaves body. Right now her captivity was forgotten, lost in a primal grooming ritual that was already hardening her nipples. Then I moved on to the rest of her, spreading fragrant shower gel on my hands and massaging it into her soft flesh. Her small noises and the pattern of her breathing told me of her enjoyment as I soaped her firm pert breasts. She had been encased in sweaty rubber for the last few days and before that was the trip here in my trunk now she was enjoying the sensation of being clean again. I pulled her closer letting my hands follow the trim contours of her athletic body. Suddenly I felt her gloved hand slide over my cock and balls. I stiffened, thinking this was an attack but instead her strong latex covered fingers started to play up and down my shaft. I'd clinched her wrists so tightly that her hands were effectively one unit. If she was playing with the head she was limited to the shaft for the other hand but closer to the base she teased my balls with deft flicks of her gloved fingertips. In response my hands moved down into the silky smooth folds of her womanhood, feeling the heat building there. She looked up at me with those large doe like, need filled eyes, making little noises behind her gag, rubbing her wet slippery body against mine. Begging for release, begging for. But from the back of my mind came a little voice telling me that she was playing me for a sap, thinking she could buy me off with a body I already owned. Soon other voices chimed in reminding me that she'd had something throbbing away in her holes for the best part of a day. Sure she's horny, it said, and we can USE than. So I pushed her away and continued to rub her down all the while trying to imagine people gutting fish. As slowly and erotically as I could I dried her and powdered her naked body. Styling her hair more difficult but in the end I had her rich golden hair pinned up high on her head in the elegant slightly conservative look that I needed. All this time she gave me no trouble and even when I replaced the boots, hobble and blindfold she seemed content to let me manage her. It was clear she was taking our deal really seriously and didn't want to risk screwing it up. I lead her back to the dungeon and locked the iron door behind me, before attaching the collar to a ceiling ring near the table and removing everything but the collar. I slapped the crop on the table top next to a small pile of leather clothing. "Put them on slut." "Yes Master." She was meek, enthusiastic and willing to please, in fact willing to do anything but face the alternative. The outfit consisted of a soft leather strapless corset and matching briefs, a pair of normal patent high heeled pumps, a pair of silk stockings and a pair of black leather opera gloves. She seemed almost happy as she put them on. She had intended to finish with the gloves but I stopped her, hobbled her ankles and chained the collar to the table. Next I brought out the makeup. "Ok slave make yourself pretty." She looked confused, "But Master these aren't my colors..." "They are now. Do it slave or maybe a flogging will persuade you?" She started, a little hesitantly at first and I had to point out what colors to use, but in the end she looked radiant confirming everything I had seen in her that first day. I had her put on the gloves, she frowned a little when she discovered that the top three inches seemed stiff but when I tapped the crop she speedily put them on. I had to remove the collar before I helped her into the black evening gown. She was obviously confused wondering just why I would want to dress her in this way. Her ankles where still fastened to the chair but with the collar gone this was the closest she'd been to freedom since I took her. I started to change that. First up were the cuffs, thin silver bands about an inch and a half wide that looked just like the kind of bracelets some women wear over long gloves on social occasions. These however were the product of a fetish jeweler in San Francisco, once closed a special tool was needed to remove them. In addition each had a tiny D ring set into the underside, though small they could support a persons full weight. For the time being I fastened them with a cable tie. Next I squeezed the tops of the gloves and felt them ratchet down until they were tightly gripping her upper arms. Each had a small black D ring in it that I joined with a thin black wire effectively pinning her arms to her side. I added a thin black choker, again from a distance a fashion accessory but hiding a thin leather collar, the silver clasp really a small strong padlock. I freed her wrists then refastened them with more wire. Finally she spoke, "You're tying me so that no one can tell from a distance." Her voice was flat and calm like someone discussing a science experiment. I was unfastening her ankles from the chair, "Very good slave," I said. "No gag?" She asked raising an eyebrow. "I don't think it would go with the ensemble, do you?" I handed her a small black leather clutch purse, it was difficult to hold with her hands bound like that but somehow we managed. I positioned her in front of a black drape and took my first shots. She looked poised and elegant, a young professional woman on her way to a show or to a fancy party. She could have been a lawyer, a doctor or a young executive. In fact she was a slave her bonds invisible to a casual observer. I felt the strange little thrill of knowing something others don't. The bonds though elaborate were never really intended to be used in this way. I've always liked the idea of secret bondage in public places. In a year or so when Caroline was fully my slave I intended to use them to have bondage sex in a box at the Metropolitan Opera. For now they were just to remind her of her status as my slave . When I felt she had started to relax a little I moved her in front of one of the covered walls and used a thin black wire to secure the back of her collar to a strategic ring. Then I freed her arms, took a couple more shots then reached back and picked out a bottle of Champaign. This was part of a case Sam and I had picked up in Paris during the fall fashion shows last year. I had intended to use it for the toast at our wedding. Now I would use it to Christen my slave. I uncorked the bottle (never pop it, that would be vulgar) then handed her a Champagne flute. I started to fill her glass. "Master, what is this for?" "For you slave," I said, "To celebrate your capture." I could tell that this wasn't a celebration she was keen on. "I can't," she said. "Nonsense, this is your Capture Day party. You get it only once a year like your birthday. Play your cards right and in future years you'll even get presents" She seemed surprised by the mention of presents but the idea that it was an annual event rammed home the fact that her captivity was permanent. "But Master I don't drink." "Yes you do," I said lightly. "I don't..." she began. "Slave you really don't get it do you?" I said, "You drink, smoke pot, molest little children and fuck animals. You'll do what I say, when I say it. What Caroline Conway did or didn't do is of no interest to me or my slave. Now drink up." She drank. I had her smile as seductively as possible as she brought the glass to her lips. Click! Had her tongue the glass suggestively her bright red lips framing the action. Click! I had her down two glasses of the Champaign in rapid succession knowing that it would hit her empty stomach and head straight into her bloodstream. I had her fling her skirt around a little, taking a couple of fast shots while I waited for the alcohol to take effect. Not drunk but with her inhibitions starting to be suppressed she was ready to go further. I took a couple more, of her holding the purse, of her presenting the back of a gloved hand to the camera. Then I gave her a second glass. Caroline holding a glass to her breast, eyes large, suggestive, she offers the other to the camera. Click! I took a couple more then offered her the bottle. Caroline refilling a glass. Click!. From then on I made her go steady, as I didn't want her sick or unconscious. Her pupils were large and she'd giggle and tell me how nice I was compared with some of the maniacs she'd heard of. She even asked if she got to choose what her Capture Day presents were. Realizing she had no real tolerance for alcohol and was rapidly getting very drunk I said nothing and just kept taking photos. Caroline, high heeled foot up high on a table pulling back the skirt to reveal her stocking tops. Click. I told her to loose the dress which she managed surprisingly quickly. I gave her back the glass and took another of her holding it to her leather covered breast as a companion piece to the earlier shot. Adjusting the lights I pulled away and took a long shot. Caroline stood as I told her, with one leg slightly bent, patent heels shown to maximum effect, then the long majestic line of her silken legs. The stockings, a designer pair with a monogrammed patterned top, ended in garters about four inches below her crotch. From then on up it was all black leather. The briefs, a tiny black triangle which would have barely covered the thatch of her crotch hair (if she'd had any), were so tight that you could easily make out the outline of her pussy lips in their shiny surface. Yet these were nothing compared with the corset. Tight and black it hugged her body like a second skin from the bottom where it's garters held up the stockings to the top where it's soft underwired cups shoved her breasts up but barely covered her nipples. The slick black gloves flowed up her arms, leather fingers caressing a wine glass with obvious suggestions. Black gloved hand raising the glass to those fabulous cherry lips. Click! A fetish goddess in all her finery, her orientation ill defined, which is how I wanted it. I took another couple of quick snaps then tossed her a crop. Suddenly she was a leather Dom. I had her flex the crop and look menacing, had her slap it against her hand, along her thigh. Then I had her ditch it and threw her a ballgag, taking a whole series of her gagging her own sweet mouth. I was pleased to see that the lipstick I'd chosen matched the color of the ball exactly. More shots of her handcuffing herself and she was suddenly a leather-clad slave girl. I had her kneel and look up beseechingly feeling all the time the heat in my crotch. Keeping her hands cuffed I removed the gag, adjusted the tripod down to her level and undid my fly. My erection almost slapped her in the face. I had her give it a sexy, hungry look then use her talented mouth on it while the motor wind kept the shots coming. Suddenly I exploded into her mouth. Somehow in the ecstasy I'd managed to pull out freezing my erect cock, her rapt face and the small trickle of cum down the side of her mouth forever on film. I gave her the last of the Champagne to wash it down then freed her hands. I could tell she was very hot so I decided to do something about it. I pressed the top of the empty bottle against the tight leather panties and wiggled it back and forth a little. She looked at me doe eyed, the idea of what I wanted invading her drunken mind. She shook her head silently. "Fair enough slave," I said, "But in ten minutes you'll be tied in that cell and in no position to do anything about this." I rubbed her damp pussy through the leather pants, she gasped. She looked at me, I nodded at a mat on the floor. In the end her needs overcame her, she lay, tore off the panties and started; first fingering and then at my insistence using the neck of the bottle. I wondered what Sam would think of our wedding wine being used like this, but it was only a passing thought. I kept taking photo's and suggesting combinations all the time wishing I had a video camera. At length I stopped her, she resisted a little and pouted. "You promised!" "Don't worry slave," I said rolling her onto her stomach so that I could strap her hands together, "I'll see to you personally!" Did I detect a little shiver of anticipation? In any case she gave me no more trouble as I bound her arms and replaced the ballgag and hobble. She seemed a little confused when after snapping some shots of her standing I came over and released her hair from the pins that held it up. It cascaded in rich golden blond curls around her shoulders and its wonderful aroma flew up to greet me. If the change of hairstyle confused her it was nothing compared to what happened next. Over her face but under her hair I fastened a soft leather mask. It took some adjustment but once in place the effect was outstanding. The mask covered her face from the hairline to her cheeks in a smooth expanse of black leather leaving only the area around her mouth and her large expressive eyes uncovered. Framed by the canopy of her blond hair and matching the rest of her leather ensemble it transformed Caroline into a sexy bondage mystery model. She seemed a little surprised but gave me no trouble as we reproduced some of the earlier shots with a small handheld camera. I finished off with one of Caroline on her back, the wine bottle cruelly inserted in her sopping pussy. Then as I promised I took her, pounding away at her soft flesh, driving deeper into her hot pussy to the accompaniment of her husky moans and the squeak of leather. Unlike last time she was desperate and almost willing. There was no suggestion of a struggle and I knew this time she would not argue, in as much as a slave can consent to anything this was consensual. Sam had always liked to be on top claiming that it gave her more sensation. I didn't like it that much but it did seem to do something for her. Now I changed our relative positions lying on my back and positioning her on top. Her arms were bound but she had strong legs and arching her back she came down on me again and again screaming into the gag with every thrust. I knew I was close but she had been a good girl who though she didn't know it yet had just delivered her sweet ass into my hands. I felt I owed her something. So the images of fish gutting returned holding off my final explosion just a little longer, allowing her to cum in a climax so violent that her bonds struggled to contained it, and her gag barely muffled it. When we had finished she tried to say something behind the gag then almost immediately fell fast asleep as if only the sexual frustration had kept her conscious. I gently removed the gag and replaced her own collar. Then I carried her sleeping form back to the cell and reattached the wire. She looked so content as she lay there newly washed blond hair framing her masked face that something gripped me and I found myself kissing those soft lips in a moment of weakness that could only be the wine. The warm after sex glow consumed me and suddenly I wanted to sleep. Yet somehow I managed to fight it because I had to know how the photo's had come out. Brewing up enough coffee to keep half of Colombia awake I started in the darkroom. The pictures were good. Most had been posed to match the desktop publishing work I'd already done and as a result to my critical eye lacked a certain spontaneity. These I left to dry as I worked on the other prints. Part way through I stopped and went upstairs for more coffee and to microwave a snack. Whilst I was waiting I scanned one of the masked Caroline photo's. Part one of the plan went into effect. Firing up the computer I used a free trial account from a well known commercial service to telnet a university computer in Scotland. I then used a bug in the old copy of VMS it ran to give me super-user privileges. The machine was one of the primary internet routers for northern Europe and it proved easy to fake a message that would appear to come from Caroline's university account. I posted the picture to an internet sex group via an anonymous server. Next I sent a covering message telling those interested that my name was Elizabeth (Caroline's middle name) and my interests included kinky clothes and bondage. I was new to the internet I said, and wasn't sure if this would work but if it did more would follow. I also hinted that Elizabeth would be willing to pose for money and had photosets for sale. It took a while to clean up the various security logs and shut down but it was worth it. Anyone looking into Caroline's disappearance would have to conclude that she was really desperate for money and would do almost anything to get it. It was early the next morning before I found what I wanted. The photo at first sight looked like any of the others I'd taken. Caroline looked out at me, her eyes filled with a mixture of despair and great need. A silent solitary tear streamed down her smooth cheek towards her stoppered mouth which almost blended perfectly with its color coordinated ballgag. Her full, shiny, red lips wrapped around the ball and the black leather strap cut into the corners of her mouth. She had been bent at such an angle that her nipples peeped slightly over the soft leather cups and the straps binding her arms helplessly behind her were just visible. I looked at the eyes again and saw the beginnings of an acceptance of her fate. This I knew was the one. It would never grace the cover of Vogue and would remain forever on the wall of the dungeon, but though unseen it's quality and life marked it apart. There could be no doubt, this was the Pearson Shot. Chapter 6: "Paper Chains" When the alarm went off the next morning I felt compelled to get "medieval with it's ass". Yesterday had been too long, my physical and mental exertions with Caroline too intense (and the wine too potent) for me to get up just yet. So I drifted in that strange twilight between sleep and reality and started to dream... I woke with a start, cold but sweating. Scared, confused, I had the weird feeling that I'd just had a bad dream,. Since childhood I'd been unable to remember my dreams, even the nightmares. I racked my brain but it was gone, leaving a creepy feeling behind. My shaking hand found the remote and turned on the TV. I punched up Caroline's cell my half conscious mind afraid of what I might find there. Much to my relief she was as I had left her. She was still dressed in the leather lingerie, still masked with her hands strapped behind her. I watch uneasily, looking for an indication that something might be wrong but she slept deeply even snoring a little and after a few minutes I accepted that she was OK. I did a quick personal audit. I was thirsty, the taste in my mouth and the suggestion of a headache convinced me that I'd had far too much wine. I stumbled to the bathroom and stuck my head under the cold tap for a full minute. After the first thirty seconds I even remembered to turn it on. I've never been an excessive drinker, I am what is best described as a "depressed drunk" beyond a certain point I'm no longer having fun. Still I'd never had the shakes before, and though I could rationalize the incident as a combination of bad booze and bad conscience it had left me with an uneasy feeling that I was missing something important. I popped an aspirin and a couple of vitamin pills. Before taking a particularly long shower. I dressed and though still a little woolly remembered to get Caroline's pills from the bathroom before heading downstairs. I wrapped the pills in tissue paper and placed them in my pocket. Then I padded into the kitchen and started making breakfast. While I was waiting for the coffee I punched up Caroline's cell again. She lay on her side, her mouth slightly open and she was drooling a little as she slept. It looked as if I wasn't the only one who would wake up with a headache. I watched her as she slept. Just last week she had been struggling to make enough money to save her apartment. Now she was dressed like a whore, tied up in some guy's basement. I wondered what her dreams were like? One thing was clear, the "honeymoon" was over, the breaking of Caroline was about to begin. So far it had been a promising start. After three days of captivity Caroline seemed to be adjusting well. I was especially pleased with her obedience. Not only was she less trouble than I expected but it seemed to take a lot to make her disobey me. She was learning very fast, her use of the words MASTER and SLAVE was far beyond what I expected at this stage and the adjusting of her sentences to avoid the personal pronoun was well underway. As a cock slut she was exceptional, and though I could take no credit for her technique I was more than happy with her obedience and enthusiasm. Now I needed to push things further, towards my goal of a completely submissive and obedient slave. Although I wanted to accelerate matters, I wouldn't take things too fast. I still needed to watch her despair as I robbed her of her identity and destroyed her independence. The first part of the great game was now ready. The first step was to destroy that one tiny flicker of hope, the possibility of rescue and to make things even better she would help me! Sipping my first coffee of the day and with breakfast well underway I headed downstairs. Slipping into the darkroom I recovered the photos. I'd had rather more wine than I'd intended and though I hadn't been drunk I was a little concerned that I'd processed the films before I had a clear head. I'd half expected to find everything ruined but in fact I'd done a pretty good job. Photos of Caroline hung from all of my drying lines. Caroline as young professional on her night out, Caroline as slut, Caroline as sexy mistress, Caroline as leather slave... I selected the best ones then went back upstairs. A quick look at the cell showed her still asleep so after checking the progress of the toast I went to my office. Probably the best part of computer journalism is the access to new and interesting equipment. Manufacturers are well aware that the endorsement of a well known columnist can boost sales significantly. One of my editors has eight computers at home only one of which he actually paid for (and that was at a substantial discount). Over the years my stated interest in graphics had resulted in a variety of equipment, most of it state of the art at the time. My current scanner is on long term loan from a major Japanese company. A 48bit color drum scanner with a clever sheetfeed mechanism and a ten thousand dollar price tag. It was intended for publishing and photo process houses but it was also perfect for my needs. I loaded the pictures into the sheetfeed and setup the computer to dump each successive scan into a working directory on my network. I hit start and the machine sprang to life weaving the invisible chains that would tie Caroline to me forever. I took breakfast in my office surrounded by the material from Caroline's box. For now I set the diaries aside and concentrated on her recent mail and the letters she'd stuck to her refrigerator door. Almost immediately I got a real find, an unposted begging letter home to mommy. No real news just brief and to the point "wire money or I'll be evicted." The writing was very neat especially considering the difficulty of the subject. As a hunch I sifted through the box looking for the pad and envelopes that matched the letter. Opening the pad I found I'd hit pay dirt. Caroline seemed to work by writing a rough draft first then copying the final version out neatly. She left the originals in the pad, giving me names addresses and a basic understanding of her writing style. Just then I saw a slight movement on the monitor. I realized she would be awake soon. I'd been deliberately keeping her hungry since the kicking incident, still she'd been a good girl in the photo session last night so I figured I owed her breakfast. Returning to the kitchen I started into making a smaller version of what I'd just eaten all the time watching the monitor. The food was almost finished when I started to see the first real signs of life from my slave. I went to the closet and pulled out a couple of those Styrofoam coolers you get at gas stations. I've often wondered why it is that no matter how much you spend on a cooler you always forget it when you really need one. I must have five or six of the disposable kind which I keep sitting around "just in case" and yet I always forget them too. However for once they were proving useful as I loaded foil covered plates into them. I made a flask of strong, sweet coffee then headed into the dungeon. The room was still decked out as a photographic studio. Drapes covered the furniture and the rings and other restraining points on the walls were covered by blue shower curtains. Soon I'd have to rip it all down but first... I poured some sweet coffee from the thermos into a plastic cup and headed for the cell. Caroline was awake and trying to swing her legs over the end of the bed. Her groans told me that the hangover was just starting. I put the cup down and helped her upright. "Feeling a little fragile?" I asked. "Urggg," She said, which seemed quite apt at the time. I put the coffee cup to her lips and she drank greedily. I stopped short of letting her finish it all and set the cup aside. With some effort, as her legs were a little unsteady, I helped her over to the toilet. On the way we passed the mirror (not glass obviously) that I'd screwed to the wall. She caught sight of her masked reflection and paused for a moment as if mesmerized. I looked but could not see what fascinated her, in the end a slap on her bare buttocks persuaded her to hurry along. There is a certain humiliation value associated with watching someone use the toilet. She squatted over the pan really wanting me to go away. I just smiled sweetly and watched what she was doing with great intensity. Worse was to come as she couldn't clean herself with her hands still bound. Though ungagged she had some difficulty asking for my help. While she figured it out I retrieved the coffee and took the pills out of my pocket. I didn't let her see them until they were under her nose. "Take these." "W...what are they?" "What are they MASTER!" I corrected, "In answer to your question, they are aspirin for the headache." She seemed unconvinced. "Look slave if I wanted to poison or drug you I could do it anytime. Now, do you want them or not?" She opened her mouth and I popped them inside using the remainder of the coffee to wash them down. It was only a little lie, one was an aspirin, the other was a contraceptive pill, one of which would form part of her daily diet from now on. Then while she was still thinking how to ask, I stripped off a glove, bent her over and cleaned her up. She blushed as we reentered the "studio", memories of last night still obviously fresh in her mind. I had her sit on one of the covered tables as I replaced her shoes with her usual high heeled boots. A butterfly vibrator held in place by a pair of snap on panties (to wake her up a little quicker) and she was almost ready to start the day. I pulled her head forward so that I could get at the buckle of the leather mask and found her strangely resistive. "Please master..." "You like the mask slave?" She nodded and looked down avoiding my eyes. "Why slave?" I asked genuinely puzzled. She remained silent kicking her heels against the leg of the table like a shy schoolgirl. "Answer slave!" I said pressing on her crotch and increasing the butterfly's stimulation of her bare clit. She gasped and shuddered a little. "Please master... It makes me...feel sexy." She seem embarrassed I was sure that there was a blush hiding behind that mask. "Not good enough slave, but I'll do you a deal. You can keep it IF you can give me a good psychological analysis of why you need it." Her shocked eyes peered out from behind the soft leather. "Well slave? You were a psych major, you should be able to give me a good technical answer." Her eyes filled with conflicting emotions, her mouth worked silently. She wasn't an accomplished liar, I'm sure I would have come up with some bullshit in her position and it was obvious that the anonymity the mask offered some attraction to her, perhaps a way that Caroline the reverend's daughter could distance herself from the slut I was turning her into. Yet I also felt, as I watched the struggle behind those pretty blue eyes, that this was an ancient demon she was fighting, not one that had surfaced in the past few days, traumatic as they were. In the end she didn't speak so I removed the mask and pulled her over to a chair. I retrieved some rope and a collection of other bondage bits from the cabinet and returned. quickly retying her wrists and body to the chair frame. I increased the number of ropes until I had what I needed. Caroline the Republic heroine was back, though in far kinkier underwear than was usual in the thirties. Bound to a chair in the villains hideout she struggles against her tight bonds. Of course some things had to go. Her collar and the remaining bondage jewelry was replaced by a simple costume necklace and earring set that were more in period. Reloading the camera and quickly positioning the lights I started to snap away. The first couple of shots I had her smile at the camera as I took her from several different angles. She looked great. Her blond hair fell on her naked shoulders and framed her face. Her arms were visible, bound to her sides by rope wrapped tightly around her body and the back of the chair. Her wrists were bound with cord to the chair's underframe leaving her gloved hands in plain view. One set of ropes pushed her tits up firmly against the cups of the leather corset. Her long legs had to be pulled back quite a way so that I could tie her booted ankles to the legs of the chair. This exposed the creamy white surface of her uncovered thighs framed as they were by the stocking tops and leather garters. This also seemed to push the butterfly harder into her clit for after a few minutes her eyes rolled back and she groaned loudly. I gagged her, brain and heart in bitter conflict. I had originally intended to just tie a cloth loosely over her mouth in the unconvincing way seen in many films. Yet my master's pride couldn't bear the idea of a photo of a slave of mine with such an obvious fake. So in the end I compromised. I stuffed a sponge ball into her mouth and duct taped it firmly in place. I used the white tape (I have every color) and after tying the cloth tightly over the tape it was impossible to see. I took my shots. Caroline still looked like a Republic heroine, gagged in a stupid movie way but when I looked at the photos I would know that she had been firmly silenced up to my usual standards. Next I untied her from the chair and removed the boots. I tied her arms and legs as I had the day before, clinched rope around ankles and knees with a matching set for wrist and elbows. I wrapped some more rope above and bellow her leather covered tits to bind her arms behind her before removing the gag. I'd found before that kneeling she was at a perfect height to service my engorged cock which was by now pressing painfully against my leather pants. Without saying a word I unzipped my fly and shoved my dick into her face. In three days Caroline had already accepted her role as my cockslut, no other commands were necessary. She licked and sucked, teased and tormented as I started knotting the length of cloth. When I seized her head she finished me off, deepthroating and sucking with the same wonderful mind numbing intensity she had shown the first time. One thing seemed clear, one day I had to find the guy who taught her this trick and thank him personally. I came and came, noticing in a strange detached way that she swallowed every drop. Sam, though she gave great head, would always spit it out afterwards which had left me feeling dirty and awkward. Caroline swallowed it greedily and I realized that my cum was the closest thing Caroline had to a meal in the past few days. Pushing her head back I forced the knotted part of the cloth into her open mouth using the tail ends to tie it tightly in place. Then I ordered her to smile, hard with her mouth gagged so tightly but not impossible. I took smiling shots of her kneeling and sitting down then I had her struggle in as many differing positions as I could think of. I finished off the film with her screaming into the gag, her face contorted and mouth straining against the cloth muzzle. She was left panting on the floor, I waited until she had recovered her breath and then picked her up and took her to the table. I sat her down and she waited quietly, bound legs tucked gracefully under the seat of the chair while I unpacked the food. I sat her on my knee as I had the day before but this time I pulled the gag from her mouth and started to feed her by hand as you would a favorite pet. This was probably not lost on her, but by now she was so hungry that she would accept even this indignity. We finished with pancakes and syrup which she seemed to really enjoy After the pancakes I had her lick the syrup from my gloved fingers Then I picked up the gag and forced the knots back behind her teeth, before tightening the knot behind her head. She gave me her "Bambi in the headlights" look and chewed on the gag as she tried to say something. I smiled then pulled her tits free of the restraining leather. As before I spread a little syrup in her nipples and began to lick and suck it off. She moaned and more muffled sound emerged from her gagged mouth though it was unclear if she wanted me to stop or wanted more. Her nips however had no doubts, standing out hard and firm as my tongue danced over them. It was time to up the stimulation a little so I started to press the butterfly against her clit feeling her body stiffen and tremble. More unintelligible sounds erupted and she started to rub her gagged mouth against me as she had done the day before. Without breaking my rhythm I reached up and pulled the knot free. For a few seconds she just gasped and then she panted out, "Please!" I stopped and looked up, her face was flushed, her breath came in sort pants. She was attempting to avoid my gaze but I brought my fingers to her chin and eased her head back until her eyes met mine. "Please what," I asked, "Please stop, please continue, what?" She didn't say anything. Every other time I'd fucked her she'd been gagged and all I'd ever heard was her muffled cries. This time I meant to know if they were of agony or ecstasy. Her eyes were full of doubt and some strange kind of fear but above all need. That need shone out from behind those embarrassed blue eyes and finally her mouth echoed them "P-Please fuck me master! ... The... this whore needs to be fucked!" I smiled, now I had my answer but I intended to play a while longer. I bent down and licked again, enough to ensure she was kept on the brink but no more. "Please master..." "Want to cum slave?" She nodded silently, I pressed the butterfly a little harder smiling at her startled gasp. "Well slave if you want it you're going to have to do something for me." She glanced down at my crotch, it was obvious from her expression that she felt she'd done enough already, that the blow job was payment for bringing her off. I just smiled. The idea had formed in an instant. If she wanted this orgasm, and I could tell that she did, I wanted something personal in exchange. I wanted her first sexual encounter to be described in graphic and lurid detail. I would link that first time, good bad or indifferent, with her begging her kidnapper to fuck her. This was an act of violation as real as anything physical I could do to her. My mouth watered with anticipation. "I'm going to ask you a few questions slave. Answer them for me and I'll see you right." She looked into my eyes. By now she was panting she was so close, she just nodded and looked away. "How old were you when you had your first fuck." She hesitated, I had no way to verify her answers but I was betting that she would have difficulty lying effectively while she was this turned on. I began to stroke her, upping the general tactile stimulus while keeping her erogenous zones as they were. My hand moved quickly over the leather of her panties and came to rest on the inside of her thigh which I gently caressed. "S-sixteen," she panted. I let my hand stray a little closer to the buzzing butterfly. "Did you have an orgasm?" She shook her head and moaned. Right now all she wanted to do was cum. Still this was interesting information. She was almost nineteen now, so the next question was obvious. "How many orgasms have you had slave, approximately?" To be honest I really didn't want to know the answer. I suppose I saw this as just another embarrassing question, a stepping stone before I forced from her the story of her first clumsy fling with some farm boy. So when she answered it came as quite a shock. "F-four or five," She gasped. That was low, I'd expected at least a dozen in nearly three years and there was always masturbation. "How many did you have before you came here?" The question popped out without me thinking about it. I had also started to unconsciously fondle her again and she was now very close. "Twice..." She shuddered as she said it, drawing her breath in explosive bursts. "Who was your first," I demanded realizing that I didn't have a lot of time. She stammered, gasped and trembled. "You will tell me slave!" She didn't answer so I reduced the stimulus. She felt the wave of the orgasm dying. "Please..." "I need an answer cunt," I said viciously. "No answer and I know a horny little slut who's going to be very disappointed." Her hips moved up suddenly as she tried to brush her crotch against my departing fingers. She whimpered and pleaded but the orgasm died. I made it clear that all I needed was a name. In her position I would have lied but she just sat there and cried. In the end I got fed up of the noise and gagged her, refastened her collar and went to the wardrobe. As much I liked Caroline in strict bondage, I had always known that I couldn't keep her like that forever. She would need at least some freedom of movement if she was to stay healthy. This left me with a problem not so much of security (locked in a soundproof cell she was equally helpless bound or not) but of ownership. She was mine, mind and body. Bound as she had been the past few days Caroline hadn't really had much chance to fuck herself. Now I intended to enforce my ownership of her sex with leather and steel. Chastity belts are usually large clumsy things with huge menacing locks and countless straps. Part of this is for effect, like having a large heavy door, and part of it is the "one size fits all" mentality of the ready to wear suit. By contrast Caroline's device was made to measure. It essence it was really a pair of heavy gauge leather panties that was fastened to the waist with a narrow leather belt. The sections of leather near the base of the hips had been modified so that a drawstring would pull them tight around the wearer's thighs in a similar way to plastic diapers. A formed plastic section rested on the hips and made a dome over the wearer's pubic area so that the victim could not bring herself off by rubbing the panties against herself. As an extra touch the designer had covered the plastic former with the same leather as the rest of the pants and had added an indentation that suggested pussy lips. Once on they looked like a large pair of leather briefs pulled tight over a woman's hole. The victim however could not gain access to her clit for stimulation and as an added bonus a thin brush attached to the indent on the inside would prove maddening as it teased the clit just enough to keep the victim frustrated. There was a stiff matching corset which of course denighed access to the breasts. Once on it looked like a soft corset with the woman's nips pressed hard against the leather but as with the pants the "nipples" were parts of a plastic former used to isolate the breasts. I fastened her collar to one of the vertical chains and had her strip to her gloves and heels. I had to slap her with the crop a few times as her hands drifted downwards. She removed the butterfly like she was loosing an old friend. I was tightening the second drawstring when she realized what was going on but by then it was too late. The belt snapped firmly in place around her waist and it was over. I left her for a few moments watching her deft leather covered fingers as they probed poked and shoved but it was to no avail. She soon found that she could not move the former and the drawstrings at her thighs prevented her from working her fingers between the plastic and her body. I decided that the design was quite successful though it was still obvious that the former was not her real mound. Still now that I had her I could make the necessary measurements to get even tighter ones made. The designer had even provided instructions for making casts of the necessary areas. By now Caroline had realized that it was futile. She gave a strangled, frustrated moan behind her gag, stamped her booted foot and then turned to look at me accusingly. "When you are prepared to tell me what I want to know I'll see that you'll be all right." Surprisingly she gave me no trouble with the corset and once it was locked in place and it's garters attached to her stockings I stepped back and looked at her. In truth she looked not much different that she had before, she was still the leather angel of my fantasies. Yet I had now taken ownership of her tits and cunt. She was a sexless neuter without me and any sexual pleasure she would feel from now on would be by my command. While she was mourning I threw her the cuffs. "Put them on slave," I said, "It's time to put you away." She complied, what else could she do? I also had her change the cloth for a leather pad gag to match the outfit. Then I attached her right wrist to the belt of the chastity pants but kept her left hand free. I took her to the cell and refastened her collar, hobbled her legs and locked the gag in place. Her left hand still rubbed mournfully at the smooth carapace covering her crotch so I decided to give it something to do. I went to the cupboard and removed some books before returning to the cell. I threw one to her. It was a spiral bound group of papers I had culled from the internet and extensively edited. I called it the "Slaves Handbook" and it detailed general concepts and the duties of a slave. On the cover were the words, "This material will be tested and wrong answers punished." She saw this and looked doe eyed at me. "I expect you to know all of it, understand?" She nodded. "If you have time read this." I threw her a copy of "The Joy of Sex". She tried to say something. "Read it! You are a sex slave now. All I want you for, all you need to be good at is in these two books. Your life is in these pages so read them real carefully. Otherwise I may have to replace you." I stuck enough menace in those words to convince her just what replacement would mean. I closed the door and heard the faint sound of something impacting against it. I made a mental note for later then went upstairs. When I returned to my office the scanner had almost finished. A series of messages in the window of my graphics workstation indicated that the first few pictures had been analyzed. I pulled up the first, a picture of Caroline standing demurely in her evening gown, and started to work. Graphic manipulation is hard and time consuming even with the best conventional software. Fortunately over the past year and with Andy's suggestions I'd been helping to develop a revolutionary program. Raytracing in the technique used in computer graphics to make computer generated images appear real by adding highlights, shading and shadows to an object as if it was really 3D. Inside a computer program you position your computer generated objects and a set of virtual lights. The computer then works out how the object will look to a virtual camera, where the shading and shadows and reflections will be. Once all of this is worked out the image is generated sometimes with unbelievable realism. What my program did was the same in reverse, given an image it works out the positions characteristics and relative magnitudes of the light sources that lit the original object. This lighting map can then be applied to another image, overriding the lighting conditions that were present when it was recorded. This allows multiple images to be assembled and appear to be lit by the same sources. In this case I removed the background of the dustsheets from behind Caroline and transplanted her to another background that I'd already scanned and analyzed. Then the computer went to work, matching the lighting of Caroline's picture with that of the new background. It added shadows, highlights and reflections to both parts until it appeared that she belonged in the other picture. The technique isn't perfect, the composite image still needs a lot of manual adjustment to appear totally realistic and I didn't have the time for that now. Fortunately even the simple run through looks wonderfully effective and that was all I needed. Caroline stood on a damp, well lit street after nightfall. She smiled at the camera, the streetlights glinting from her jewelry and her heels reflecting in the puddles on the sidewalk. I worked all afternoon assembling images and pasting them into a document I'd prepared earlier. I rolled between computers on my office chair checking first one, then the other, then Caroline with mechanical precision. When I'd left she had initially thrown the books at the door in a sudden act of renewed spirit. Finally though after trying desperately to get at her covered crotch, boredom overtook her and she started to read. Every couple of hours I looked in on her, partly so that she could drink but mainly because the chastity pants stopped her from going to the toilet without my help. Around five the last document finished printing and I was ready. I put my work into a folder along with other papers, collected a snack from the kitchen and headed downstairs. After setting up the table I freed her and lead her into the dungeon. I fastened collar to table, and strapped ankles and butt to the chair. Then I removed her gloves, this was one time I wanted fingerprints. Finally I removed the gag, but as always I left it dangling around her neck. "I thought we should talk," I said sitting across the table from her. I pushed over a diet coke, "I know you have questions about your new life here and I really haven't given you any answers." She gulped down a huge swallow of coke, which seemed to restore her confidence. "Who are you? Why have you brought me here?" She asked her voice high and anxious. I rolled my eyes, back over the same old ground. "I am your MASTER, I have selected you to be my sex slave. Your principle job is to obey me completely and to give sexual pleasure to me and to any others I indicate. I've told you this before." I knew what the next question was so I cut her off. "As to why I chose you, that is my concern." "Now that we have covered all your old questions AGAIN, is there anything else you want to ask?" "How long do you intend to keep me here?" "Until you bore me. Then I'll replace you with a new girl." A frightened look spread over her face. "You aren't the first," I lied, "And you are certainly not the last. The longer you please me, the longer you stay alive and the longer your replacement keeps her liberty." "How long?" She asked her eyes large and frightened. "The current record is five years," I said smoothly, "But she was exceptionally obedient. Those who refuse training usually don't last a month." I could see her absorbing the information. "In the end I grew quite attached to her, when the time came I sold her to a friend rather than do anything unpleasant." I smiled at her, "There is always a place for a good obedient slave, the difficult ones bring the inevitable on themselves." I looked into her eyes, "I wonder what type you'll be?" "Please master..." her questions were now ended. All the horrors that had been forming in her mind as she lay, bound and alone in her cell had now be confirmed. What more was there to say? "Now I have a question for you slave," I said noting the renewed tension in her shoulder muscles. "A couple of days ago when my friend Bob came over and I hid you behind the couch, why didn't you try to scream to him?" "I was gagged..." "But you must have realized that he could still hear you that close by." She swallowed. "He was in on it with you," she cried, "You had plenty of time to move me away I figured you wouldn't risk him finding me if he didn't already know. You wanted me to disobey you so you could punish me!" It was a good reasoned argument. With all the ease I'd had until now I'd forgotten that I was dealing with a college undergraduate and not a simple farm girl. She was bright all right but I was better. An evil thought came to me. "You were half right slave," I said, "Bob wouldn't have freed you but he isn't part of all this. You see I told old Bob that my latest girlfriend is kinky, into bondage and the like, just in case he discovered your presence. If you had screamed I'd have just introduced you to him and let him go on his way. He'd think it odd but he wouldn't think that you were being held against your will." I smiled as a sudden look of realization spread across her face. I could even guess what she was thinking. If "Bob" had seen her then maybe he would have recognized her from a missing persons report. "Phantom Bob" had just sporned a "Phantom Opportunity" for rescue that she had failed to take. I waited until the look of despair had started to subside. "Don't knock yourself," I smiled, "You didn't know and besides no one knows you're missing so he wouldn't have recognized you anyway." "Someone will know," She said looking me defiantly in the face, that look of hope in her eye. "Sooner or later I will be reported missing and..." "And nothing," I cut in. "Thousands of people go missing every year, far more than can be put down to foul play. There are people running from the law, from creditors, bad marriages. That's the beauty of a country this size, it's easy to get lost in. Most missing people turn up in the first few weeks, the police probably won't look at your case for a month. Then I'm sure that there are a lot of college and bank loans outstanding, a lot of moneys owed?" I could see from her face that there were. "The police don't look for people who want to go missing and the evidence is that you ran away." The light in her eyes still shone a little. Now it was time to extinguish it for good. "All we have to do to make sure is give them a good reason for you to leave town. I have one right here." I opened the folder, took out her pen, paper and envelopes and a piece of laser-printed paper. "This is the text of a letter I will send to your mother. You will copy it onto the writing paper EXACTLY as it is written. I have enough samples of your hand writing to recognize if you try anything stupid." I watched as she read the text. It was simple and workmanlike in Caroline's usual style and said that she had been offered a summer job in a private psychiatric clinic near Seattle. The job as a nursing assistant was really nothing more than a glorified Candy-striper, but her professors had agreed that the experience could count towards her final end of year grades. With this in mind she would be leaving immediately now that exams were over. She would forward her address once her new employer had assigned her accommodation. "Well what are you waiting for?" She shook her head and read the text again. It was a plausible explanation for her leaving town. Styles, pet names and general writing mannerisms were all hers, once it was copied by her own hand onto her own stationary it would appear perfectly normal. She knew as well as I did that once her parents received this the hunt would be over. Eventually the alarm would be raised, but they would start looking in the wrong place and by then the trail would be long cold. I watched while she pondered it. "All I need is a plausible explanation for why you disappeared," I said. "This one is the best because it seems most natural, but a girl in your position, owing money and with unsympathetic parents can have lots of reasons to disappear." I tossed her a large white business envelope. She caught it and looked at it blankly. I watched as her eyes scanned it, they darted quickly over the return address, someone in an unfamiliar sounding street in Seattle. Her reaction was more pronounced however when she saw where the package was going. It was addressed to her but the address was her parent's house in Iowa. With trembling fingers she opened it. The package contained four pages pinned together. The top sheet was a piece of good quality company headed note paper bearing a stylized almost art deco logo of a beautiful woman bringing a wine glass to her lips, underneath in a tasteful script font were the words "Cachet Escorts." The company's office was the same unfamiliar address as on the envelope which I knew to be in a half empty office block in a rundown suburb of Seattle. I was proud of the letter and I watched as her eye's widened in horror. It was dated a few days before the kidnapping and read. _____________________________ My Dear Caroline, I wish to thank you for your dedication over the last few weeks, it could not have been easy to fit our interviews and photo sessions into your busy schedule. I trust your preparations for the move to Seattle are well advanced. I can only say again that you will not regret your decision. Washington is a very beautiful state and Seattle can offer a host of entertainment for a young lady such as yourself. However, I must admit to feeling a little uncomfortable about your proposed Seattle address. Although your friend is right in saying that the neighborhood has low cost accommodation, it is the kind of area a girl cannot walk alone in safety. If you contact our offices we can provide a list of clean low cost hotels that you would find much more suitable. If money is a problem I am sure we could arrange a small advance until you have found your feet. I have enclosed a copy of the information we keep on file. Please check it, correct if necessary, sign and date the bottom, and return it as soon as you can. I have also included draft copies of your pages from our various directories. These are the results of your photo sessions and the information you provided. Although we foresee no problems it is our policy to allow our girls to check and if necessary modify their entry before we have the final copy printed. Rest assured that the directories do not leave our offices, although we sometimes provide a copy of a new girl's entry to our regular clients upon request. We have also included your entry from our special services directory. Again I must complement you on your decision to try this area. As we discussed the work is varied and well rewarded. The gentlemen who have these special needs are amongst our most generous patrons and a few of our girls have removed themselves from our general roster to concentrate on these clients exclusively. The photographs used in these pages are by necessity more explicit. Some of our girls in the past have expressed doubts over their entry's but now agree that we where right in our decision. The special directory never leaves the offices and is only shown to special trusted clients. I will say again that these are only draft copies for your approval. The quality of the final printed versions will be much better. Finally when we last spoke you were still unsure if you wanted to use the name Elizabeth. As you can see our draft pages are currently using this name. If you wish to change it, please do let us know as soon as possible. We reserve the right to approve the professional name of all of our young ladies. It is our policy that each of our girls chooses a unique name on a first come first served basis. This is to avoid confusion and reassure our clients that they will get the right girl if they ask for her by name. In addition we discourage the use of names too close to the girl's real name as it can cause embarrassment. For example in your case we would discourage the use of "Carol" or "Carolyn" but names such as "Catherine" or "Carrie" would be fine. Please contact me the moment you arrive in town and we can arrange to have lunch and discuss your plans. I remain as ever yours. Brenda Evans. _____________________________ It didn't take a genius to realize that Cachet was a high class call girl agency. I had first come across them a couple of years before when some of their girls worked a party organized by a well known software company. Their girls were hand picked to be courteous, sophisticated and well read but it was no secret that for the right amount they could be persuaded to stay the night. I knew a lot of men who used their services when in Seattle and while not being a client myself I had heard enough by word of mouth to know how they operated. One indiscreet client had once given me a girl's file entry with the recommendation that I try her. I had used this as a model for Caroline's entry. Cachet was now out of business, it's offices raided amongst great scandal a few months before. I had no doubt that there would be at least another two or three 'Cachets' by now hoping to pull in the defunct agencies clientele, so my fake would probably be written off as a short lived imitator. By now Caroline was scanning the second sheet. It was a supposedly the agencies private file entry giving age, height, weight, interests, address and next of kin. Not too different from the personnel file any company would keep. "Look at the addresses," I said with some pride. Under her name was her parents address, under her parents names as next of kin was her college address. "It's what laymen call a computer error," I said, "In the industry we call it garbage in, garbage out. You see when the thing was transferred from paper an unfortunate substitution took place which means that the agency 'accidentally' sent this to your parents house. When they can't find you they will of course open it and..." She had found the 'and'. The first page seemed innocent enough. It was Caroline's entry in the agencies directory. Most of the sheet contained pictures of Caroline in her evening gown. The first was a picture of Caroline on the street a departing limo in the background. Second picture, a smiling Caroline offers a gloved hand to the camera, hotel bedroom background. The rest of the pictures were in much the same vein. Caroline handling and drinking Champagne and looking suggestive. The text hinted that after a night at the opera 'Elizabeth' may be persuaded stay a little longer. Sheet two was very different. Supposedly from the 'special directory' it showed 'Elizabeth' in her full leather finery. The first shot was just of her standing with her high heeled foot on a stool showing off her leather panties pulled tight over her crotch, hands on hips, smiling. There was a corresponding "Elizabeth drinks Champagne" shot then a three frame sequence of a smiling 'Elizabeth' gagging and handcuffing herself. The final shot was of the dominant 'Elizabeth' flexing a riding crop and looking stern. The text was also more explicit talking of 'Elizabeth's' wish to make her client happy no matter what his 'special needs' may be. Caroline looked up in horror, "NO please..." "I'm posting one of these off tomorrow," I said pointing to the large envelope and the letter pad. "It really doesn't matter to me which they receive. Either would explain why you would disappear and either will draw attention away from the idea of a kidnapping. It's really up to you. Your parents are never going to see you again. Question is, how do you want them to remember you, as their little girl or as an evil little slut selling her body for money?" Caroline started to weep. I could see the despair in her eyes. I slapped the crop on the table, "Choose!" With a trembling hand she picked up the pen and started to write. I rejected her first attempt because the writing was too unsteady, the next two because of spelling errors. Number four was perfect but I rejected it anyway and warned her not to give me any more trouble. I yelled and threatened punishment and in the end got her into the frame of mind I needed. She wrote the letter, addressed the envelope and even licked the stamp to provide comprehensive forensic evidence. I then placed the letter in a ziplock and handed her the second item. When she started to read it I slammed the crop down in front of her. "Slaves obey, they don't need to understand," I said viscously. So she started, writing postcards, signing documents, filling in forms in her own name and a variety of aliases. As each was finished it went into a separate ziplock. She seemed bewildered and I never gave her time to think things through. Were a document wasn't unique I would often venomously reject the first one she did just to keep her off balance. When she signed and dated a complex legal document near the end she wasn't even aware that she had just signed her freedom way. I finished up with her signing a couple of checks. Then I produced a tape recorder and a few sheets of paper. "This is a script," I said pushing the paper over to her, "You will say the words exactly as written, understand." She nodded and did fairly well on the first couple of messages, but then when she started on one obviously meant for her parents she started to sob uncontrollably In the end it took a lot of threats before I had the performance I needed. "You did well," I said as I reached over and shoved the gag back into her sobbing mouth. "I'll forgive you for the temper tantrum this morning. Tell me slave, are you still horny?" Still sobbing she nodded her head. "Good. I have to put you away for a while because I have to finish upstairs," I gently stroked her thigh. "Afterwards though I'll reward you." I had her replace the gloves with a clean latex pair and replace the cuffs. I strapped her arms behind her and freed her from the chair. I pulled her close to me felling the hardness of the chastity corset as it pressed into my chest. The light of hope was gone from the tear filled eyes that stared at me over the gag. "I am your master slave, and now your training begins." Chapter 7: "Sleepwalking on Bourbon Street" "Putting Caroline away" proved to be the hardest thing I'd done so far. She was hot and had been denied an orgasm for too long already. I could smell the musky aroma of her damp cunt even through the confines of the chastity briefs. She continued to look at me pleadingly as I lead her towards the cell and when I stopped to pull back the bolts, she rubbed her leather covered crotch up and down my leg invitingly. As the briefs transmitted no sensation to her covered cunt I can only assume that it was for my benefit. In any case it was working! It took every ounce of willpower in me not to take her then and there. Instead I somehow forced her inside and fastened her to the wire. She made a little moaning sound behind the gag as I turned to leave. "Soon enough sweetheart," I managed to say though my head was pounding, "We'll see to that real soon." I spent about an hour checking the papers she'd signed. Most were trivial, notes to institutions informing them of address changes, postcards to friends. Some were more important, a note to the police about her stolen car, the transfer of her bank account to Seattle. Although many and varied the one thing that they had in common was that they formed what an investigator would call an "audit trail." It wasn't perfect but it was the best I could do. The big problem was that I couldn't do anything that involved her turning up in person. Things like applying for a Washington state drivers license would need a woman to stand in line for a couple of hours. Of course in fiction it is easy, the evil organization of white slavers have entire departments dedicated to erasing "volunteers" past lives. Female accomplices are ten a penny, all officials can be blackmailed or bribed. Reality though was less perfect, still I was happy with what I had achieved. There was now a large body of evidence which pointed to her having moved to a run down suburb of Seattle. The area was well known as a red light district. The sort of place a pretty young thing could disappear without trace. Once I was finished I placed a call to one of my editors. Just how badly did he need the latest news on the new Windows release? Obviously enough to pay for a flight to Seattle, an extra couple of calls to sign up for a Microsoft seminar and it was done. A legitimate reason to go to the north west and spread my little seeds. Still it left me with a couple of days to get ready, so I busied myself with a couple of minor articles whilst watching Caroline get steadily more frustrated. After a while I found myself just watching the screen and daydreaming. One image that had always appealed to me was of the slave girl as lapdog. Something like a harem slave sitting patiently at her master's feet ready to serve his every whim. I'd had a little leather outfit made for just that purpose; a small pushup bra that left the nipples free for clamps matched with a tight pair of side laced bikini briefs that barely covered anything. A leather bondage belt was connected to a number of strong thin chains which in turn were fastened to wrists and ankles by small gilded metal cuffs. A matching metal collar and leash completed the bondage elements though a metal and leather gag could be added if necessary. I looked at my watch, it was about an hour before the late screening of the X Files. How nice it would be, I mused, to watch the show with a slave at my feet ready to serve me if the need arose. If she was good I may allow her to sleep chained to the foot of my bed. The image was so appealing I found myself hard again. With some regrets I turned off the monitor and reasserted my self control. Then I started to make preparations. First up was a shower. I'd only washed Caroline the night before but the kind of things we did involved a lot of sweat and other excretions. I remembered her musky odor, by now she'd need to shower again. To save time I laid out the slave girl outfit in one of the upstairs bedrooms. Next came suitable music. I'm basically a Rock man, the Stones, Kiss, and Rush are my music of choice, but while we were together I'd done the "New Man" thing and pretended to like Sam's music. Sam was into classical, or at least so she claimed, but I've always had the suspicion that this was more for show than anything. I've noticed that models like to appear cultured, I suspect that it's an attempt to dump the bimbo image they get in the tabloids. She had bought a "Three Tenors" style disk of great operatic love songs that she used to play during sex. I smiled, if Caroline was as hot as I believed then the shower could prove interesting. I put the CD into the machine then went to collect the slave. When I entered she seemed awfully keen, probably because she thought I'd come to fuck her and end the frustration.. I let her keep thinking this while I removed the cuffs and strapped her arms behind her. Then I unlocked the chastity outfit. By now she was all aglow and opened her legs expectantly. For a girl three days into a kidnapping to be so keen to be fucked by her captor is perhaps a little odd. Yet Caroline seemed to have had very little sexual pleasure before I took her, and had been in a constant state of sexual frustration since. I looked into her eyes, saw the hunger and knew then that she was starting to become addicted. A few more frustrating weeks in the chastity outfit, unable to relieve herself and with her only pleasure coming when I decided and she would be broken. For now I just smiled as she thrust her pussy towards me and mewed behind the gag. "Not yet slave," I said gently stroking her breast and finding the nipple hard and erect, "I don't fuck smelly bitches. You need a bath first." I could tell that wasn't what she needed NOW, but she bowed her head in acknowledgment. Naked but for gloves, boots and gag she waited patiently while I attached the leash and strapped on the blindfold. I didn't bother with a hobble so it proved a quick and easy journey to the upstairs bathroom. Once again I removed the boots and blindfold but kept her gloved and gagged. Then I padlocked the leash to the ring before stripping off myself. I punched a button on my remote control and the hidden speakers started the buildup to a classic operatic aria. Then the tenor joined in his voice full of passion and heartbreaking emotion. I started small, deftly shampooing her hair as I had the night before, listening as she moaned with pleasure. All through this she was happy, no one in her situation would turn down a bath. After suitable warnings I unstrapped the gag so that I could remove all the old makeup from her face. She looked at me as I gently stroked her cheek. "Please..." She whispered the edge of desperation in her voice. An idea came to me and I drew her naked body close feeling her hard nipples dig into my chest. "Soon," I said. She didn't fuss when I put the gag back. She seemed strangely subdued, both horny and melancholy. Time had come to warm her up. My roving hand moved on, gently stroking and caressing her helpless body. I cleaned parts in a random order, teasing her with my touch, listening as she moaned and caught her breath. Finally my hand drifted down, finding her pussy warm and very damp as I gently cleaned it. There was the suggestion of a fine stubble on her pubis and I wondered about the possibility of home electrolysis. I was careful that as I cleaned her pussy of the days accumulated juices I didn't up the sensation to a level she could find useful. She moaned in frustration as the heat in her crotch increased. I unfastened her elbows and started washing her back. She made a little mewing sound and as my hands slid forwards to caress her breasts and their erect nipples, hers drifted down to gently brush against my balls and the insides of my thighs. The message seemed clear, I wasn't the only one who could tease. I let my hand hover round her abdomen then slide back to the silken folds between her legs. I was rewarded by the slick touch of her latex covered fingers on the head of my cock. Then we traded, finger on nub for thumb on head. It seemed like masturbation by proxy but it was also a big turn on. I soaped her down using handfuls of shower gel to make her body wet and slippery. She started to slide her body against mine making sure that the outside of her thigh slid up and down my steadily mounting erection. I gasped and started to caress her, one hand cupped her breast while the other slid down to finger her hot cunt. I started to nibble her neck between the gag strap and her shoulder. She moaned then arched her back, fingers straining against the single imprisoning strap. I gasped as she started to work on my balls and thighs, carefully avoiding the shaft, denying me an orgasm as long as I denied hers. Above it all the tenor sang of loves lost and hearts broken in a mounting crescendo of emotion. Through it all I dimly wondered how long we could stay like that, how far we could push it while still keeping the other from release. Part of my mind had decided to take her right then and there against the shower wall, I even upped the pace a little, listening to her excited yelps as she came closer and closer to the edge. Then dimly I became aware of something else in the environment, something noisy, insistent, something cutting through even the vibrant music. It was the phone, I suppose it was to be expected after all we were in the shower. Part of my brain said leave it, let the machines pick it up, but they didn't and the ringing continued as insistent as ever. It says a lot about the power a ringing phone has over us that I got out of the shower. Caroline gave a little scream and when I looked at her she tried to say something. Too well gagged to be intelligible she shook her head, thrust her shaved cunt towards me and wiggled her hips. It was an invitation good in any language but the little dictator kept ringing. In the end I threw on a robe and squelched off to the handset in the upstairs hall. I mean, there I was about to have sex with a beautiful, naked and helpless girl, I could have let it ring until the guy at the other end got the message and rang off. Yet I didn't; I didn't because I am an idiot. The idiot picked up the phone. "Hello?" There was a pause on the other end of the line then a hesitant female voice asked, "Mr. Thomas?" I was about to yell no, tell the stupid bitch she had the wrong number and slam down the phone, then I suddenly remembered that I'd used the name Thomas when I'd left the message for Vicky the photographic model. "Yes that's right, is that Vicky?" I asked as calmly as any guy could with a raging hard-on. She stammered out a yes, though it was hard to hear over the operatic background music. I realized that I'd left the remote behind. "Thought I remembered your voice from the answering machine, " I lied. "Look I'm sorry for the noise, can't reach the stereo from here.." "I was w-wondering if you still needed a model. I realize it's been a couple of days since you called but I've been away..." She seemed apologetic, weak and unsure. "No I still need a model," I said wanting this over as soon as possible. She seemed relieved but even in my ardor alarm bells were already starting to ring. "Vicky, sorry to ask this luv," I said switching into classic Pearson, "But you do seem a little nervous. Do you have much experience?" At first she tried to bluff it out. Then her confidence failed and she twittered on for a while. I really didn't have time for this but the explanation she blurted out I gathered that the camera shop where I had found her name did portrait and ID pictures. The photographer had persuaded her to try modeling and had suggested that she leave her number. I was her first call. To be honest I was tempted to turn her down, but she looked so much like Caroline and there was so much I could do with her unwitting help. So patiently I spun her a line. I was an amateur trying to make a break into the pro circuit. I would need a model at various times and various places to take shots for my portfolio. She must be willing to appear in a variety of shots, in various outfits and perhaps nude. The nature of the work would be experimental as I would be trying out different films and effects. Some of it wouldn't make sense. I would pay her by the hour, irrespective of the number of shots or what they entailed but I promised that I would give her copies of some shots for her private use. She seemed pleased and a little surprised, to be honest she wasn't a great looker, though like Caroline she was probably better after a makeover, and I think it did her ego good to know she could be paid for her looks. Her gratitude bubbled out, I was waiting to politely end the call and get back to my hot slave when suddenly I got a weird creepy feeling, a kind of sixth sense warning of danger. To this day I don't know what it was, though I suppose I could have heard something subconsciously. I managed to tell Vicky that I had another call and I had just hit the hold button when the screaming started. The closed bathroom door was at one end of the corridor, the phone at the other I have no doubt that some land speed records were broken in the next few seconds as I raced towards the noise. Caroline was cutting loose but good. I bounced open the door to find her half out of the shower one hand holding the still attached leash to stop it pulling tight as she lent forward, the other hand questing for the door latch. The situation had come close to a complete disaster. The strap that bound her wrists was lying in the shower, the ballgag was pulled down around her neck, only the presence of the padlocked collar and leash had stopped her from getting completely free. How had it happened so fast? I'd kept her bound for the last few days without her budging a single bond. One thing was clear I needed to reassert control fast! Surprisingly she stopped screaming the moment I entered the room. "Please," she said. I said nothing just grabbed wrists and turned her to face the wall. She struggled and it proved hard to hold her, the gloves seemed, if anything, slicker than usual. Turning her to face me again I raised my hand to slap her face. She whimpered and cringed and the fight left her. Leaving her for the moment I reached down for the discarded strap. It was then I noticed the large blob of blue gel in the bottom of the shower. Retrieving the strap I examined the gloves as she held them up to protect her face and body. Then I realized what a complacent fool I'd been. I had become so used to her being so cooperative that I'd started to cut corners. Locked in the cell she had worn tight leather cuffs, but these were expensive and the finish easily damaged by water so before the shower I had swapped them for two basic leather straps, one at the wrists one at the elbows. When I had started to wash her back I'd removed the elbow strap to allow for access. Then things had become more heated so I hadn't put it back. When the phone rang I'd just left, closing the door behind me so that her little gagged noises wouldn't be heard. In short I had left her alone, unobserved and with only one strap holding her. She had managed to squeeze shower gel on to her latex gloves near the wrist and use the lubrication to work her hands free. The collar, gag and leash were all padlocked but she had managed to roll the gag out of her mouth and scream to alert the caller at the other end of the line. The hairs on the back of my neck prickled, I had come within seconds of being caught. Silently I gathered her wrists turned her towards the wall and restrapped her arms at wrist and elbow. She didn't resist seeming more than happy that I hadn't hit her. After the arms were done I used the shower to clean the gel off of her body and gloves thought to be honest I doubted she could slip her hands free with her elbows clinched. Next I released the leash and forced her down onto the shower-mat. Using the belts from the bathrobes I bound her legs together and hog-tied her wrists to her ankles. Then I went to the medicine cabinet and got some sticky plaster, a bandage and few pads of cotton. First I replaced the ballgag fastening it tighter than I ever had before pulling the ball further into her mouth. She complained, it probably hurt like hell, but I didn't care. Next I forced the pads between her lips in front of the ball until her mouth was fully packed and used the sticky plaster to hold it in place. A nice tight Ace bandage wrapped tightly over the top and she was gagged as well as I could manage at the moment. It was important that Vicky heard from me as soon as possible so with Caroline rolling on the bathroom floor in plain sight I went back to the phone. "Sorry Vicky love, you have no idea how some people carry on." I said looking at Caroline. My slave quaked and tried to say something. Vicky seemed pleased that I hadn't hung up on her and we made plans for the next day. All the time I was aware of Caroline struggling a few yards away. The gag proved very effective and her desperate screams became muffled moans easily drowned out by Domingo in full voice. Vicky never once commented on any sounds (though I had a good explanation ready if she did.) I signed off and walked back towards my slave. "She didn't hear a thing, I put her on hold just before you started screaming." Caroline looked up in despair. By then she already realized that she'd failed. After all I'd made her listen helplessly as I completed the call but now was the worse prospect. Now came the punishment. I released her feet and helped her up using a towel to dry her. I was perhaps a little rougher than I strictly needed to be. She stood to attention doing nothing that would anger me further. Then the music seemed to seize her. I don't think she knew Italian and there was nothing in her tape collection that suggested that she was a big opera fan. Perhaps something in the man's mournful song to his lost love reminded her of a freedom denied. In any case she started to sob, though I missed it at first, the gag muffled all sound and the water dripping from her hair washed away her tears. In the end it was the gentile quaking of her shoulders that gave it away. I turned her around and looked into her eyes. I'd expected to see anger, sorrow, something I could understand but whatever demons she had were playing games behind those pretty blue eyes, and all I could see was pain, deeper and older than I expected. She didn't struggle when I replaced the boots and hobbled her, she must have realized that she'd blown it and there seemed no point in compounding things. I got dressed with her chained to the top of the stairs the phone just out of reach. Strangely her escape attempt had made the erection worse. I don't know if it was the danger of discovery or just the excitement of the chase. I really wished I could set that talented mouth to work but I wanted her to wear the uncomfortable gag a little longer. I checked the building security logs while I dressed. During the 30 Seconds or so of her screaming there were no intruders, there wasn't even a car passing the end of the drive. Satisfied I blindfolded her and led her back to the dungeon. Once there I chained her to one of the overhead rings and prepared her for punishment. Modern bondage photography is good, but the scenes seem far too posed, the women either too perfect of too ordinary. Over the past few months while "researching" the kidnapping I'd come across a number of photo's from the 1950's taken by artists like Irvin Klaw and John Willie. I suppose part of the attraction had been the concentration on fetish wear especially the high heels, though the fact that the models tended to be "resting" 1950's B movie actresses probably brought back memories of my beloved Republic serials. In any case two things from these photo's had influenced my plans for Caroline. The first was the pony girl rig that was sitting in the room behind my garage along with Caroline's few belongings. I'd finally found a place in Arizona that made the things and had one shipped to New England in a crate marked "Cycle spares." This would have to wait until Caroline had been "broken" of course but the other idea, that of posture training would get an unexpected early trial. The corset came first. All the previous fetish "corsets" she had worn had really been tight leather tops capable of pulling in and pushing up a little but without the facility for tight lacing. Of course Caroline didn't understand the difference, the corset I now brought to her seemed perhaps only a little more old fashioned than previous ones. Certainly she didn't resist, stepping into it when ordered and holding still while it was pulled up her body. I left it loose for now and instead replaced her usual collar for a high leather posture collar. This involved releasing her from the leash but she gave no trouble, probably deciding to get it over with rather that risk greater punishment. New collar in place and leash again secured I removed the damp latex gloves and replaced them with an elegant leather pair that came to just above her elbows. Next came the return of the leather cuffs which I used to fasten her wrists to the ring at the back of her collar effectively fastening her hands behind her neck. She tugged on the gagstrap giving me a big eyed helpless look. In the end I relented and removed the gag. She paused for a while wiggling her jaw and waiting for the numbness to wear off. "I'm sorry Master, I didn't mean it." "Liar!" I said. Whatever she had been expecting this wasn't it, she floundered for a while so I decided to help her. "What did you do and why are you being punished?" I asked. She looked down, the collar stopped her from bowing her head. "I screamed and tried to let someone know that I was here," She said. "Which means you did what. Why are you being punished?" She swallowed, "For trying to escape." I made a deliberate effort to look amazed, "Is THAT what you think. That you're to be punished for trying to escape?" She looked up eyes wide. "Isn't it?" She asked weakly. "Oh no!" I said, "The escape is a perfectly normal reaction, I was stupid enough to give you the opportunity, you were resourceful enough to take it. I have no problem with the escape attempt in fact I think it was very well done. I can't blame you for giving it a try it was my fault leaving you like that." I wandered off towards the cupboard and returned with some balls, a pad gag, some tape and length of kitchen roll. She looked confused, "Then why?" "You removed your gag without permission." She glanced down at the kitchen roll in my hand, her face suddenly filled with horror and at that moment she went hysterical. "No Master, oh please no! I'll do anything, oh please, oh God NO!" I tore a piece of the paper off and brought it up to her nose. I could tell she wanted to move her head but the collar made that impossible. She cringed and whimpered as I placed it to her nose. "Blow," I said, "Really hard I want it good and clear." We spent about a minute blowing her nose, by the end of which she had almost stopped shaking. The thing about a good lesson is that you never need to repeat it. For emphasis I loosely fastened the leather pad gag around her neck, though I had no intention of gagging her right now it paid to remind her that speech was a privilege *I* controlled. I held one of the balls up so that she could see it. "Know what this is slave?" She looked intensely at the small metal sphere for a few moments. A few inches wide it had a little string attached to it. At the end of the string was a tag not too different from the ones found on teabags. For a second she hesitated then said, "Is it a Ben Wa ball?" Now it was my turn to look surprised. "Very good slave," I said, "We are full of surprises today! Now can you explain exactly HOW you know that?" She blushed, "Brenda, a friend showed me one once." "Ever use one?" She went to shake her head but couldn't. "No." "But you know what they are for." Again I think she would have liked to just indicate in the end she answered very quietly, "Yes." "Good," I said, "That will save us some time. Now spread your legs." She complied being in no position to do otherwise. Her cunt wasn't quite as juicy as usual and it took a few minutes of gentle play before she was damp enough to allow the first ball in. I pushed in the second and left her standing there with the two little tags dangling from between her pussy lips. I tore off a strip of tape and stuck it firmly over her cunt repeating the process until a little white PVC triangle covered her crotch completely. I unhitched her and walked her over to the table. I could tell that the devilish little balls were already at work by her expression as I helped her on to the table. I locked the leash in place then had her move forward so that she was perched on the edge. I discarded her old boots and reached down. A pair of real silk stockings came first. The classic pattern with the seam at the back and the dark band at the top, they were pulled up to her thigh and left there. I spent some time straightening the seams while she watched in silence. Boots came next. Since I had brought her here Caroline had usually worn a set of high heeled boots. These were ladies fashion boots in leather, PVC or patent leather. Though styles varied they were all fairly tight fitting, came to just below the knee and had a 2 1/2 to 3 inch heel. In fact these boots had been bought from regular shoe stores and differed from those seen on any high street only in having been modified so they could be locked in place. These and a $15 a pair set of latex gloves formed the core of a slave outfit and was cheap and expendable. The boots I now prepared to put on her feet were very different. Made from the finest leather they were stiff enough not to crease or wrinkle but soft enough to mold themselves to the leg like a second skin. Finely patterned and hand made they carried a five inch stiletto heel. Like their high street cousins they came up to the knee but these needed no modification being held in place by the intricate lacing up their front. These boots were definitely not expendable and cost almost four hundred dollars a pair. Once the lacing was finished I got her to stand all be it rather unsteadily. With heels in place she was now almost as tall as I was; still it made it easier to attach the stockings to the garters of the corset. Next I lead her over to a post in the center of the room and attached her cuffs to it. Seizing the laces of the corset I rammed my knee into her back and pulled. Up 'till this point I think she'd had trouble figuring out what the punishment was. Now she knew. She gave an huff sound and gasped as the cords had their way with her figure. There was a limit to what both of us could stand and when I tied her off her waist was down to a respectable 19 inches. The effect on her figure was startling. Caroline would never have the "hourglass" figure of those '50's starlets, she simply wasn't built enough up top but the corset maximized her assets to a really quite rewarding extent. Of course she couldn't breath but that seemed minor for the moment. I helped her up and on to her feet, and she nearly fainted. In the end I found I had to let the corset out an inch if I wanted her to stand. With the wind literally out of her sails it proved easy to pull her arms behind her and cuff them in place. I ran a small length of chain through her collar and fastened a wrist at each end effectively chaining her hands in a kind of hammer lock behind her back with her arms crossed. This had the additional effect that it forced her shoulder back and improved her posture. I retrieved a flogger and unchained her collar. "Tell me slave, what is the minimum punishment for attempting to escape." She looked at the flogger, "But you said you wouldn..." "I didn't say that you would be punished I was just checking that you had read the book." She swallowed. "A pussy whipping," she said nervously. "How many lashes?" "Twenty, with ten extra each repeat offense." "Tell me slave have you ever been pussy whipped?" The answer was predictable, "N-no." I lashed out with the flogger catching her firmly between the legs. She was surprised, and had no time to dodge. She let out a little scream then doubled over in pain as far as the bondage would allow. "That was one," I said, "Given purely as an example of what you can expect if you attempt anything that stupid again." "Understand?" She was breathing heavily and still doubled over. "UNDERSTAND?" "Y-yes." "Yes what?" "Yes master." "What is the punishment for removing your gag without permission." "The tape..." "Louder" "The Tape," She sobbed. "Tell me slave have I whipped your pussy twenty times?" "N-no" "And the tape, have I used that?" "NO." "Then shouldn't you thank me for not punishing you?" She paused, "Thank you Master." "Good girl. Now thank me for whipping your pussy." "Th-thank you for whipping my pussy Master." By now she had straightened up. "What won't this cunt do." "Th-this cunt won't try to escape, this cunt won't remove her gag without permission." "Very good slave," I said, "Now walk to the wall and back." What I'd had in mind was the sexy slink of a high heeled seductress, what I got was more of a waddle. Small steps are necessary with heels that high, but the way she walked looked as if she was picking her way through a field of shit. I stopped her. "Slave you may find it better if you wiggle your ass more." The idea of the Ben Wa balls had been to encourage her to swing her hips. She tried increasing the pelvic movement and the sudden flush on her face told me that she was getting the point. The problem now was that her whole body moved from side to side in an exaggerated movement that looked like someone wading. I tried to get her to stop but the movement always returned. In the end I decided to enforce what I needed. Going to the cabinet I retrieved some nipple clamps. As I approached she took a step backwards. "Please Master, they hurt." "I know." I started to fold down the soft leather cups of the corset to expose her small brown nips. The Ben Wa balls had done their job well and the nipples were hard and erect and just ready for clamping. She knew she was helpless, there was no way she could avoid the inevitable pain. Resigned she closed her eyes and held her breath as I fastened the first clamp on her right nipple. She gave a little yelp and took an involuntary step backwards I just held tight on the chain using it as a short nipple leash. She squealed then stepped forward again. "Good slave," I said encouragingly as I clamped her left nipple. Each clamp was separate, and made up of three parts. The clamp itself was of a devilish design which bit harder as it was pulled and fastened to that was a short length of chain with a small weight at the end. Any large movement would set the weight swinging increasing the bite of the clamp and torturing the soft nipple flesh. Realizing this she refused to move and it took a couple of quick slaps of her butt with the flogger to get her moving. Still the improvement was dramatic. The constant bite of the clamps actively discouraged upper body movement while the throbbing balls buried deep in her cunt rewarded hip movement. Within a few minutes these competing influences found balance and she started to walk as I'd intended, hips slinking, body almost still, the characteristic strut of the high heeled slut! By the time she had done her third lap she was starting to get the hang of things. She still wobbled a little and I'd had to catch her a few times when she'd mistimed a step but as her confidence grew she accepted my direction more readily. As a reward I removed the clamps and was pleased to see that she didn't return to her old ways. Still some problems persisted. She seemed self conscious about strutting in front of me and it was this rather than any lack of ability that seemed to be holding her back. We took a rest, I helped her sit on the table to take the pressure off her feet and gave her a drink. During those few minutes an idea started to form. She was hot having been denied most of the day, if I could harness that I could banish some of her self consciousness. What I needed was something sexy, something dangerous, the breaking of a taboo or two. The Reverend Conway didn't look like a liberal, one taboo struck me straight away. I helped her back up. "Close your eyes." She looked at me doubtfully. "Look," I said, "this is your choice we can do this with a blindfold if you want." "But what if I fall." "Then I'll catch you," I said, "Now close them." She did and I moved in close so that I could speak softly into her ear. Using the remote I selected a disk on the CD machine upstairs. The opera was gone replaced by smooth sound of classic Jazz. "Imagine," I said, "A hot summers evening in New Orleans. You stand outside a seedy Jazz club in the French Quarter, sweat in your hair, your heart in your throat." I rubbed my hands slowly over the soft leather cups feeling the suggestion of the hard nipples underneath. "A drunk stands by the door, his face old and leathery but his eyes sparkle as he looks at you, a pretty white girl in a tight leather dress. Your heart beats harder, what if you are seen by someone who knows you? Seen, painted like a whore dressed like a slut in a borrowed dress. What would happen to you if the word got back to your father?" I heard her ragged panting and knew that it was working, her eyelids flickered like someone almost asleep. "Better to be inside," I hissed, "Better that than be caught out on the street." She took a few hesitant steps forward, I matched the movement. "Your heels click on the sidewalk, slut heels, painful heels but your friend Brenda who lent you the outfit says they make you look sexy, desirable. Your heart is pounding, you feel your pussy warm as it starts to juice up in your excitement. You push open the door. You stand in the doorway of the bar, the music pauses but only for an instant. This bar has seen white sluts before, will do again. Your eyes scan the room looking for him, the one for whom you've taken this risk. Your eyes fall on black face after black face as they look at you, your heart pounds harder. Your mother told you what can happen to a white girl in a place like this and here you are, dressed as a cheap slut, begging for it." She moaned and twisted her body to one side as if she were looking for someone. I could hardly believe how suggestible she was. This would make her conditioning so much easier. For now I continued with the fantasy. "Suddenly you see him, his colorful shirt so different from the overalls he wore this morning when he was clearing your garden. He stands by the bar, holding a trumpet in his strong brown fingers waiting to go on. He looks up and sees you, his warm brown eyes drinking you in. The heat in your pussy increases, your breath becomes ragged. Then you see her, the half-caste girl handing him a drink. Her legs are strong and oh so long, her tight white dress clings to her body like a second skin. Brown ringlets frame such a beautiful face, but her eyes look at you with contempt. "Just another white whore, and you know it's true, that you came here like a painted slut for a night of forbidden passion with him. Now she has him by the arm, sliding her thigh up his leg, looking at you daring you to compete with her. You have to cross that floor, cross it in a way that will make him want you, make him fuck you, end the torment." Then she started walking, the slow sleek, seductive walk of a sexy woman on the prowl. Her hips quaked and I could imagine what that was doing to the Ben Wa balls in that hot pussy. Yet though it all her upper body stayed erect and regal as she slinked forward. I'd got what I wanted I had intended to end it there, but she looked so intense striding purposefully forward with her eyes closed that I felt the need to go on. I slipped in front of her and caught her in my arms. "Hey baby, what are you doin' here?" "I had to come, please don't send me away." I slid my hand over her leather flank, she responded by moving her leg up stroking my thigh with hers. "You are one sexy bitch." I ran my fingers along her thigh ending by tracing the outline of her pussy lips through the tape on her snatch. She gasped and trembled a little. "Man you're hot," I kissed her, "Hey babe I keep a room here, maybe me an' you?" She moaned which I took to mean yes so I lead her back towards the cell. Once there I caressed her, using the opportunity to loosen the corset. Opening my pants I pulled her to me, seized the tape that gagged her hot snatch and tore it free. She gave a little gasp, I think I was right about the stubble, then the drawstrings came tight and the Ben Wa balls popped out. By now she was quaking and I was very hard. I lay down positioning her on top and she trust down, her hot damp hole enveloping my shaft in one velvet swallow. Then she clamped down hot and tight on my throbbing cock. With her hands still hammer-locked behind her I was forced to steady her hips as she moved slowly up and down. She moved faster and faster and as her passion built so did her volume. Up until now she had always been gagged when I fucked her and as her sharp animal cries increased I was tempted to reach up and shove the pad gag into her mouth. Of course to do so would need much more willpower than I could have mustered right then. Pleasure flooded my brain and from the wild look on her face I'd say most of her higher brain functions were paralyzed too. So we rutted and screamed like two wild animals until finally I exploded and she came, the two event's separated by less than a heartbeat. Without her hands to hold her up she collapsed on top of me exhausted. We panted together for a second or so my cock still deep inside her. Then she looked up at me a tear in her eye and said, "Oh Josh, I'm so sorry." For a second I was confused, thinking she was talking to me. Then I realized. "Who's Josh?" I asked softly. "He was my boyfriend." "Was?" "He's dead." "I'm sorry," And I genuinely was. She seemed a little uncomfortable and managed to move over to one side, I slipped out. "What happened?" "Hunting accident," She said and I felt her shiver. "If you want to talk about it..." She went to shake her head but of course that was impossible so in the end she whispered "No, thank you Master." I felt overjoyed, she had used the word "Master" totally naturally as if she had accepted the situation. I decided to test this further. "Who are you?" I asked brushing my hands over her leather flanks and down over her ass. "I am your slave," She whispered. "Louder." "I am... your slave." "Who am I?" I asked, my voice warm and kind like a parent helping a child prepare for a pop quiz. "You are my master," She replied, no hesitation or hint of self consciousness. "What are you?" "I am a s-sex slave. I use my body to give pleasure to my master or any others he commands." I felt my throat tighten, I knew the next question held part of the answers I sought. It was a question I had never answered. "Why did I choose you?" She looked down, "Because I am a victim," she said. Chapter 8: Stories of Death Then she started to cry, her body shaking, the tears flowing like rain. I held her, tried to do what I could to calm her down, but it was no good. I admit I felt a little guilty thinking that the stress of the kidnapping was finally coming out. I pulled her close feeling the warm smoothness of the leather corset against my skin. She started to mumble something and as I listened I gradually came to realize that this had nothing to do with the kidnapping or with me. I understand grief through bitter experience. It is a slow subtle poison. If you try to bury it or run from it then the loneliness and pain get a power over your life and they start to eat away at your soul. I loved my grandfather, he had been a strong generous man always willing to help a neighbor or a grandson prone to trouble. In our community he had held a special place, never elected to any office, never qualified in any profession yet somehow always the one people turned to in times of crisis. He was if anything the perfect human being, a strong man who didn't pick on the weak, a proud man always willing to admit when he was wrong. During the long hot Indiana summers of my boyhood we had walked and talked and fished, all the things boys and grandfathers are supposed to do together. Then in my senior year at High School he died, no illness, no warning just one day I came home from school and found my mother crying in the kitchen. The shock and the grief hit her all at once and she was never quite the same again. As for me? Well one of the constants in my life was missing and the pain was worse than anything my young mind could imagine. Then I did a foolish thing. My parents had always treated me as an adult and I was graduating High School at the age of fifteen. So I tricked myself into thinking that I was an adult and bottled the grief inside so as not to upset my mother any further. I played the dutiful son and buried my feelings so deep that when it was all over and I wanted to cry I found I couldn't. That feeling stayed bottled up eating away at my guts every day for eight long years. Then late one night as I lay alone in a hotel room in San Francisco all that burst to the surface and I cried all night. I don't know what had happened after Josh died but I know that Caroline hadn't dealt with it. She'd buried that grief as I had and it had lurked in the back of her mind. Now it had picked it's time and place finding that moment of weakness as it had in that dark hotel room in San Francisco. I held her shaking body encouraged her to scream into the privacy of the soundproofed room and waited for the storm to pass. She spoke a little between the sobs and with some gentle encouragement I persuaded her to tell me their story. She had known Josh Petersson all her life. The Petersson's were a local farming family who had lived in this backwoods part of Iowa since great grandfather Olof came from Scandinavia in the eighteen nineties. They lived close enough to the Reverend Conway and his family to be considered neighbors. They shared barbecues in the summer, exchanged gifts in the winter, attended the good Reverend's church and involved themselves in local fund raising. Josh was three years older than Caroline and had voted himself the title of honorary big brother. She had grown up with him always about but never really saw him as anything but a friend. Then when she was fourteen he had asked her out on a date. It seemed to have come without warning and I got the feeling that she had accepted almost by reflex. Almost accidentally she had fallen into the relationship, then deliberately she fell in love. Knowing that her father would not approve, she had kept their romance a secret. Over that summer they had seen each other more and more, meeting in private, lying to friends trying to keep the truth away from the tell tales and gossips common to all small towns. As she was underage they had agreed to limit themselves to oral sex and heavy petting until her sixteenth birthday. For six months they had done what kids do and I think these were the happiest weeks of her young life. Then Josh started to busy himself on some project. He was unavailable most weekends and would not tell her why. She became jealous, and started to think he had another girl. When she finally confronted him he'd just laughed and asked her to meet him at a small empty cottage on his father's land. His family called it "Patrick's House" and his grandfather had built it for his parents when they were first married. She had been there before of course, it was one of the few places were they had any privacy. This time she went with some trepidation thinking that perhaps he wanted to break up. Instead he surprised her with an engagement ring on a silver chain she could wear it around her neck and a promise of marriage. Then they walked through the empty rooms looking at the work he'd done to make it their home and planned their new life together. It had started to rain so they couldn't leave immediately. The moment had seemed so perfect that she took him by the hand and led him upstairs and they made love for the first time one week before her fifteenth birthday. It took a lot of coaxing to get her to tell me about his death. I knew from experience that it was necessary, that if she didn't get it in the open it would continue to haunt her. It was painful and she cried like a child as she went through his last day. They'd had a fight, he'd wanted to formally ask her father. She had said no. Angry words were said then he'd stormed off. He'd apparently gone hunting, something he did quiet often when he needed to think, when he didn't return this family sent out search parties. They had found him at the bottom of a dirt bank in a lonely wood. She told me how he had slipped and fell shooting himself in the process then bleed to death unable to climb out again. At that moment she broke down completely, it took another hour before she was cried out. I held her until the end encouraging her to let it go providing the physical comfort a person needs at that time. When she finished she was weak and emotionally drained. I took off the posture collar and replaced it with the usual one. I had intended to remove the corset and boots but right now she needed to sleep. I attached the wire and freed her hands. Then I gently dried her face and brushed her hair aside. "Thank you," She said. "What for?" "For listening." I smiled. "Comes with the territory," I said, "If you can't talk to your master who can you talk to?" I pantomimed looking around the room for some other person and discovering only myself there. She smiled, and I knew she was going to be all right. I turned to leave but at the door on impulse I stopped and looked back. "Who are you?" I asked gently. "A slave for your pleasure, Master." I looked into her large blue eyes. Tomorrow when she'd had chance to recover it may be different but at that one vulnerable moment I think she really believed what she was saying, at that moment she really was my slave. The night was still relatively young so I busied myself preparing my laptop for the trip. About twelve I made a hot drink and settled into my favorite chair. A quick check on Caroline showed her asleep, a calm almost radiant look on her face. It looked as if the release of all than angst had done her some good. It really had been a roller coaster ride tonight and as I sipped my cocoa I went back through the events to look for a trigger. There was the sex of course. This time it had seemed much stronger than before. I'd been overwhelmed by the power of it all. Tonight she'd been somehow sexier, more vibrant than on previous occasions. I tried to find a reason why, when we'd had sex before she had seemed to enjoy it and I knew for a fact that she'd orgasmed so what was so different this time? I knew that if I kept her excited long enough she would throw away her inhibitions when we finally fucked. In fact when the time came she was now an enthusiastic partner. I may have been keeping her here against her will, but there could no longer be any doubts that the sex was consensual. Of course I didn't kid myself. I kept Caroline tied and frustrated for most of the day, by the time we fucked she was desperate, her body crying out for relief. When I offer to fuck her of course she co-operates as she would with a vibrator or a wine bottle. I could see that from Caroline's point of view sex with me was just a way to for a girl to masturbate with her hands tied. Then I remembered the little "I'm sorry Josh" line she'd said. Did she feel unfaithful to his memory? I could force her to have sex, I could even make her body betray her so that she enjoyed it but I couldn't make her invest any emotion in it. Was that the answer? Had sex meant something more than pleasure to her this time? Had the guilt of that discovery burst the dam wall of all that pent up grief? I didn't know and felt not for the first time that a degree in psychology would be more useful right now. Then I remembered Caroline's textbooks still sitting in the back room of my garage awaiting the furnace. Perhaps the answer was in there? I decided to rescue them and find out. Now though it was time for bed so I started the dishwasher and headed upstairs. I settled down and for the first time that I could remember I had a dream. It started in the parlor of my father's hardware store. I think I was about ten and it was one of those timeless Indiana summers that I remembered so fondly. Long hot dusty days with school a distant memory, and the smell of the corn fields on the breeze. Then a sudden cut and I was out in the street chasing after Grandpa trying not to drag the fishing pole he gave me in the dirt, wanting him to slow down; but never wanting to admit I was too young to keep up. We sat fishing and talked as we had so long ago, and though part of me knew he was dead, I was filled again by the joy of his presence. I could have stayed there forever, but for some reason he sent me back to the house to pick up some fruit we'd forgotten. As I headed back towards the path something drifted into my view. Caroline floated above. She was naked but for a large number of thin leather straps, each about the width of a boot lace that bound her legs together and her arms at her sides. I paused for a moment, shocked to see her in such an idyllic place. I noticed that the straps were very tight, her hands and feet were blue and bloated. One strap ran up through her shaved pussy and disappeared between her cunt lips. This seemed so tight that it almost cut her in two. A seemingly endless flow of blood trickled down her exposed thigh. She was looking at me, big blue eyes above the wide padded strap that gagged her. Much to my surprise there was none of the accusing looks she normally gave me. Instead she had a rather pained expression, eyes slightly puffy like she had wept for a long time. I found myself opening the big knife my grandfather had given me and I nervously stepped forward. Bringing the knife to the crotch strap I cut the thin leather lace above her pussy and started to pull it from between her cunt lips. Much to my surprise it refused to budge. I pulled harder and was shocked when a large ball of the leather cord popped out of her hole. Almost immediately she started to thrash and moan behind her gag and I realized she was orgasming. More blood poured down her body as the straps literally cut her limbs. I felt frightened but somehow stepped forward. Her rapid motion caused her to slip from my grasp and a found her drifting off in the wind like a bizarre fetish balloon. I followed but whenever I approached she just seemed to drift further and further away... In the end I started running but just as I caught up with her she squealed and rolled herself into a ball... I closed in, making comforting noises and after quite a struggle managed to undo the buckle on the gag strap. However as I pulled it from her face I became aware of the blood encrusted on it. I looked down and cringed for beneath the gag her lips had been sown together with stitch after stitch of the foul leather cord. ** I woke with a start. Was this the dream that I'd had the night before? All I knew was that I was shaking. It took me almost an hour to calm down and start to think rationally of the images in my mind. I felt sure of one thing, the dream was somehow significant; my subconscious was trying to alert me to something. I thought at first it was guilt, but Caroline's bonds had been horrific, the sick work of a sadist and though I may be many things I wasn't that. I admit that I'm a control freak and that I use pain to get that control but I don't revel in it and I don't use it for its own sake. So what did it mean? A quick video check found her still asleep. It was dawn and I didn't feel like sleeping again so I put on a pot of coffee and went into my office. There underneath one of my computer tables was the box of important papers I'd taken from Caroline's apartment. I should have moved it into the dungeon some time ago; there is little point hiding the slave and leaving boxes of her stuff just lying around. For now though I just reached into the box and pulled out the picture album. I spent about half an hour going through it I knew what I wanted should be there. I carefully picked though page after page of Christmas's, birthdays, and Thanksgivings with no luck. In the end I found it tucked away in a little wallet like thing inside the back cover. It was a picture of Josh and Caroline. Of course he looked young, he'd died when he was seventeen, a tall friendly looking boy his Scandinavian heritage evident in this lanky frame and dirty blonde hair. He looked nice but dull. The standard all American kid, not smart enough to be a nerd not athletic enough to be a jock. The kind of kid who somehow just makes it through life. Except this one hadn't. She looked young and very happy, caught in that spontaneous moment that was either reality or Pearson. For I while I tried to imagine what their life together would have been like if he'd survived. One thing seemed clear Caroline wouldn't have been an unwilling guest in my basement. I could almost see her dragging a dusty faced blonde daughter around that cottage in Iowa, with perhaps another child on the way. Even when times were tough I got the feeling they would be happy. Josh Petersson and Caroline Conway; a future that didn't happen. Time to make breakfast. I figured she'd have quite an appetite when she awoke so I started into a more lavish spread than normal. Soon I'd have to start controlling her calorie intake and arrange for some exercise or the enforced inactivity would start to have its effects on her waistline. For now I indulged her with a meal designed as much to comfort as to feed. By seven it was ready and I went downstairs to collect her. She blinked in surprise as I woke her. Up until then I'd waited until she was awake before fetching her. Her face was still red and tearstained so after she had used the toilet I freed her hands and had her wash up. The rest was almost a ritual. I refastened her hands, attached the leash and led her to the table. Once there she sat on my lap while I fed her by hand. I'd found that I liked feeding her, like having a gag always dangling about her neck it was a constant reminder who was in charge, who had the power in this relationship. I was pleased to see her eating well and I could feel her strength returning. This time I dispensed with the syrup trick, I needed this outfit in good condition for the next posture session. So after fastening the collar to an overhead wire I released her and told her to strip. She did in an almost mechanical way and I could see there was something on her mind. I admit to having something planned too and as she wiggled out of the leather I was positioning the photofloods to point at one of the restraintless walls. She watched silently as I retrieved some clothes from the wardrobe. Walking over I threw them on the table. "Put these on, everything but the gloves." She complied quickly and I stood back to admire the result. The outfit was not that much different from what she had worn on her first night. A shiny black latex halter top came first. The rubber was ribbed to give it a corset like effect. It hugged her upper body pushing her tits up and out in a pleasing way while leaving her stomach bare. Next came a matching black latex garter belt, I'd removed the elastic so it was really only being used as a sash to cover the area between her hips and her shaved pubis. The latex boots which came to the top of her creamy thighs were little more than thigh high latex stockings with five inch heels attached, they tied at the top and hugged her legs like a second skin. At this point I had her stop and apply makeup as directed. The last time I'd been concerned with her having a natural look so her makeup had been underplayed. Now I wanted the young vamp look, lot's of makeup but applied in a way that still left her looking young and fresh. I selected a baby doll pink lipstick and blusher combination and waited for her to apply it. "More photos?" She asked. "Yep, Slave's gotta earn her keep." I could tell she wanted to say something but she seemed to change her mind and instead did what I asked. I brushed her hair back into a ponytail. Much as I liked it long I could tell that she was going to have to have it bobbed. Truth was that long hair was hard to keep looking good without regular styling, something I couldn't do easily myself. I figured I'd keep it like this for a couple of weeks and then I'd have to do something about it. She finished up with a long pair of latex gloves which she pulled up her arms as I finished prepping the camera. Now there was only one thing left to do. With my fingers mentally crossed I put a pair of earrings and a choker on the table and removed the collar. Caroline was now completely free for the first time since I took her. She seemed a little shocked and I noticed her glance fleetingly at the dungeon door. "It's locked," I said while I fiddled with the tripod. "You'd need a torch to cut through it. Now put on the jewellery and stand over by the wall." She dragged her eyes away from the door and started to put on the earrings. Remembering the lessons from yesterday she attempted to slink over to the wall. However it became obvious that she missed the ankle support of the leather boots and twice she almost fell. Eventually she made it to the wall and stood awaiting instructions. First I had her stand with her legs slightly crossed, hands on hips, pouting slightly. The shot was nice, immediately establishing her as a young rubber slut. As I'd hoped the crossing of her legs had forced her thighs hard together and the latex boots, gloved hands and garter belt formed a black latex frame for the triangle of her shaved cunt. Her breasts strained against the rubber in a most appealing way and the look on her face just screamed fuck me. I knew immediately that this first shot was a "Pearson" and it seemed like a good omen for the rest of the session. Next up I had her face the wall then press herself against it like a criminal being frisked. I took a shot but the composition lacked something. I had her spread her legs more and I tried another. Still not quite right so I had her turn her upper body slightly so that I could see her face in profile. This worked much better so after repositioning her hands and head I took the final shot. To my mind this picture looks like a raid on a brothel. A young slut is thrown against the wall still dressed in her fetish-wear, her long mane of blond hair almost down to her bare behind. She half turns towards the young rookie cop left to guard her and makes her proposition. If he looks the other way and lets her escape she'll be so grateful. She only does this to pay her way through college, her mother would die if she knew. If he lets her go she'll meet him later and show her gratitude... For the next shot I had her lie down her hot ass stuck up towards the camera. I took a number of different shots with her looking back over her ass towards the camera. I tried a number of different expressions from surprise though lust to fear. The shot that finally worked for me was one were I had her twist her body slightly towards the camera and prop her head up with her gloved hand. The clothes, the pose, the look all tell you this is a hot cunt just looking for a fucking and the picture wasn't lying. Looking into Caroline's eyes I could see that the sexual addiction I'd tried so hard to establish was finally taking hold. She was wanting it bad which gave me an idea. I had her stand and using the remote I programmed a track into the sound system. "Now slave we are going to try something freeform. I want you to interpret the music for me just do whatever you feel." She looked unsure so remembering my experience from last night I suggested that she closed her eyes. "Ok slave I want you to imagine this. You are still a student, and have one day to get enough money to pay your rent or you loose the apartment. One of your friends has told you of a club she works at when times are tough. She says that they always need dancers and that a girl willing to work at it can make some good money. You asked the owner but he thinks you are too dowdy and plain. You beg you are so desperate and in the end he gives you a trial; if you get a good response from his customers he'll give you the job." I could see her trembling, one latex covered hand had made it's way down to her crotch and she was already rubbing the slick palm against her hot lips. Encouraged I continued. "You look through the wardrobe, they have all sorts of things, nurses and cops uniforms, bathing suits but realizing that you have to make a good impression you pick the riskiest outfit you can find. It's slick black rubber and it clings to your body like a second skin. You can feel its touch, smell the scent of hot rubber mixed with the sweat of all the other girls who have worn it. Can you feel it slave?" "Yes," She whispered. Her other hand had found her tits and a finger was doing an orbit of the bump made by one of her erect nipples. She was breathing heavily and I could tell she was almost ready. "You're standing in the wings waiting to go on. There are about thirty men in tonight most of them middle aged business men. You see your friend dancing naked at one guy's table a bundle of greenbacks clutched in one hand. She thrusts a tit almost in his face and he's going crazy 'cos he isn't allowed to touch. Now it's your turn, the manager passes you as he goes on to make the announcement. He nods and makes encouraging noises. You feel nervous as you step out feeling all those eyes on you. You stand ready knowing that your future rests on the next ten minutes." I punched the play button and the hidden speakers hummed into life. There was a throbbing opening base rift and the song exploded into the room. I'd chosen was the Divinyls track "I Touch Myself" to start with and a couple of their others in case she kept going. The music seized her immediately and she started to gyrate, touching herself as she felt the need. I had a post in the room that I used for bondage purposes and I started to wish that is was nearer. Caroline would have made a hell of a pole dancer, she was sexy, seductive and even with her eyes closed she looked as if she enjoyed it. I adjusted the lights so that they shone directly at her, she would be unable to see past them. "Open your eyes sweetheart," I said. When she did I continued. "The lights blind you but you know that beyond the glare, thirty guys are watching you. You can feel their eyes on your skin, undressing you even further. They all want you, you can feel their lust coming over you in waves. Feel thirty imaginary pairs of hands caressing your body, on your tits, on your ass, brushing your cunt." She trashed around pouting seductively for the imaginary audience caught up completely in her role. At times she was unsteady and natural talent had to make up for her lack of technique but at that moment she was a sex goddess and deep inside she knew it. I watched captivated as she strutted the floor pausing to pose suggestively or to touch herself again. Then I suddenly realized that in my excitement I hadn't taken any shots. I quickly started taking a series of her roving hands drifting between tits and cunt. She arched her back eyes once again closed one hand drifted up and released her hair which tumbled around her shoulders. A quick quarter turn of her head and she flicked it out so that the golden strands now covered her tits as well. Then as I watched both hands drifted backwards towards the straps that held the halter in place. It had been designed for easy removal, always a consideration when the wearer is intended to be bound. She found the release and it dropped away from her shoulders. One arm kept it clutched to her body and then she started to move it rubbing it's silky smoothness over her tits and belly. She arched her back teasing the imaginary audience with a suggestion of breast all the time getting the tactile stimulation from rubbing the latex against her hot body. Finally she tossed it aside leaving her erect nipples free to be played with. I focused in for a close-up as she took both nipples between thumb and forefinger and gently rolled them, then she flicked her head back and moaned. Again she arched her back and one hand returned to her dripping box. Using the two outer fingers to spread the lips she started to tickle her clit. She slipped a finger inside, then two by now the moans were rapidly becoming squeals. Two more quick photos, one a close-up of her finger fucking herself the other showing her enraptured face so her identity was in no doubt and I found myself out of film. I could account for less than half of the 36 frames. Still I knew I had some hot shots and I looked forward to seeing what else I'd taken. Looking at her I could tell that she was close and I had already decided that for the time being she should only cum by my hand. I didn't like being a party pooper but it couldn't be helped. I pulled a pair of handcuffs from my pocket and quietly came up behind her. Not that being quiet was necessary the music was loud and she was too far gone to care. I took the hand that was playing with her nipples first, she didn't resist I don't think she even noticed as I closed the cuff around it. Pulling it down behind her I grabbed the other wrist. Now she resisted, she was so close she would have killed at that moment. Still I was stronger and in a better position so after a brief struggle I managed to cuff the other wrist in place. She moaned and started to rub her thighs together. When that didn't work she turned and started rubbing her cunt against the thigh of my leather pants, I twisted her around. I had intended to deny her an orgasm and keep her wanting it for the rest of the day but she had danced so well I decided to give her a break. I twisted her to face me, pulling her close until I felt one erect nipple embed itself in my chest. Grabbing a handful of hair I twisted her head until she was looking into my eyes. Then very deliberately I slowly finger fucked her with my free hand. One finger tickled her clit as I thrust another as deep as I could inside her. She clamped down squeezing the finger tightly. Leaving my thumb to work on the nub I thrust two more fingers inside and was rewarded by a gasp as she trust her hips towards me. Then I slowly brought her off, listening to her cries as the decibel level rose. All the time I was watching her emotions though the lust glazed windows of her eyes. First came need mixed with a little embarrassment. As she came closer the need started to take over completely and her cunt started to clamp down even harder on my leather covered fingers. Next came a look of rapture which coincided with the spasm my fingers felt deep inside her. Then she gave a look of fulfillment, a deep sigh and then she smiled in a dreamy way. For a second there was something new and something totally unexpected. For an instant before she broke my gaze there was something that just possibly could be love. I brought my gloved hand up to her mouth and had her suck the fingers clean. This took longer than I'd thought and her little tongue movements were deliberately suggestive. It also seemed that she liked the smell of pussy juice and leather which is useful when you are trying to make a girl into a leather slut. I lead her back to the table and replaced the collar fastening it again to one of the chains over the table. I freed her hands and for a moment considered retrieving the halter. In the end I left her topless and busied myself tidying up the dungeon. She sat on the edge of the table licking the juices from her fingers deep in thought. In the end I had to know. "Ok out with it Slave." "Sorry Master?" "The little speech you're composing right now, I want to hear it." She took a deep breath, "My college tuition, it's a scholarship." I must have looked surprised, certainly that wasn't what I'd expected her to say. It seemed as relevant to what had just happened as the gross national product of Guam. "So?" I asked. "If I let it lapse then I won't get another opportunity. I know you intend to keep me for some time, perhaps for years but sooner or later you'll get tired of me and let me go. I want a future Master, I want an education." "So?" I must have sounded really stupid but the conversation was so incredible I was lost for words. She took another deep breath then said the rest in one breathless sentence so as not to give me chance to interrupt. "If you let me go back I'll be your slave. I won't tell anyone about what happened. Please! During term time I'll be available any time you call and I will happily return here during any breaks or holidays. After I graduate you can keep me here as long as you want, I won't try to escape, I'll do anything you want." I looked into her eyes, there was a look of sincerity there that told me she was serious. I should have told her were to get off straight away but the evil part of my mind decided to play. "Lets discuss this further," I said. "For the sake of argument lets say I was disposed to agree to this. When you say anything I want what do you mean?" "Anything," She said flatly, "Anything at all." I stood suddenly, she flinched, stood and stepped back as far as the tether would allow. Perhaps she though I was about to hit her. "Suppose I want piercings," I said remembering her reaction last time. "Perhaps a little silver ring here and here." I touched her nipples which became erect almost immediately. She breathed in quickly but despite being unbound she made no attempt to stop me. "Perhaps one or two down here as well." My finger lightly brushed her pussy lips. She gasped, though it was unclear if this was in response to the words or the touch. "If that's what you want." She said eyes blazing. "How about a brand?" I asked innocently, "Something to mark you as mine, let those horny college boy's know that they are messing with someone else's property." I could feel her stiffen. "How about here," I said indicating a spot just above her right nipple. A bra or regular dress would hide it, but itsy bitsy bikini's or dresses with radical necklines would be out. She swallowed, "Fine..." Now I was intrigued I wanted to know just how far she would go. "How about a baby," I said, "A son to carry on the family name. You'd have to sign over complete custody rights to me of course..." She nodded accepting even that and I realized then that she was serious. I was stunned, never in all my plans had I envisioned this. I was so surprised that I continued almost on auto pilot. She said, "What if it's a girl?" "Huh? Then we try again," I said off hand. "And the child?" I was starting to get irritated, I needed to think so my dark side furnished a viscous answer. "I'm not interested in girls. I'll take a boy child. If it's a girl you can look after it yourself, I don't want to be stuck with your bastards." It was a lie of course, as children girls are far more interesting than boys. You can have an intelligent if somewhat bizarre conversation with a little girl from the age of three or four. A boy of that age is barely articulate. If at some time in the future my slave were to give me a daughter the little tyke would have no trouble twisting me around her little finger. My answer was through irritation and I really didn't expect what happened next. The effect on her was like a physical blow. She gave a little wailing sound then she attempted to roll herself into a ball. Her legs started to collapse under her and she fell like a stone. Under normal situations it would be dramatic but she was chained to the ceiling at the neck and the chain was short. I moved forward but being preoccupied I wasn't fast enough. There came a twang as the chain pulled tight followed almost instantly by a sharp crack sound and my heart leapt to my throat. Chapter 9: Meeting Maggie And strangely enough it was my geekyness that saved her. I'm a geek, a fact I freely admit that to anyone who would want to listen. I'm the guy who actually buys things from the gadget catalogues you find on airplanes. Lot's of things that I own have computers in them even ones that don't really need them. It's hardly surprising then that when I came to build a dream house it was a "smart building". I could talk at length about optical packet busses and redundant control but is enough to say that one machine is dedicated to the security aspects of keeping a slave. Suicide was one unpleasantness that I'd been forced to consider. Some people don't react well to being locked up. Taking their own life is sometimes preferable and any prison warder can tell of ingenious suicides even when the inmate was being closely watched. When Caroline collapsed she had enough slack chain to fall perhaps 3 feet before it became taught. At the very least that could hurt as the collar pulled tight, at worst she could break her neck. The moment the mounting point came under load a strain gauge registered the sudden impulse and this was sent to the computer. Now the computer understands the difference between static and impulse loading, it will let much more than Caroline's weight be applied to the chain but not suddenly. In the instant she fell at a speed far faster that any human could react the machine determined she was in danger and fired an explosive bolt severing the mounting at the ceiling. She lay on the floor winded and too surprised to do anything as the chain landed on her. When my heart started beating again I reached down and helped her up. With a strength I didn't know I had I lifted her as if she was a rag doll. "What the fuck is the matter with you!" I almost screamed, "Are you trying to kill yourself." "You...you said..." "What the fuck does that mater!!" I shook her. For the first time I came within a heartbeat of hitting her. She started to cry. "About the baby being a GIRL." She said as if the answer was somehow self evident. I put her on the table, my anger started to subside. In the background part of my mind continued to analyze what I'd discovered. The conclusion was that I'd kidnapped a mad woman. It wasn't good but it did calm me down. "A joke," I said, "That's all. If I'd realized there was lemming blood in your family I'd have been more careful." "So it's a joke?" "We need to discuss this, " I said, "But not now." I pushed her back against the table and locked the chain to one of the tables mountings. I wanted her secure before I proceeded any further. "Now take the gloves off." As she started to comply I went over to the cupboard and started to root around inside. She was finished by the time I returned. She eyed the new contraptions with some dread, she couldn't tell how upset I was and she didn't know if this was some new torture device. It took the treat of the crop to get her to place her hands behind her back and hold steady while I pulled the single sleeve up her arms. When it reached the top I buckled the top strap and replaced her collar with the posture collar already attached to the sleeve. Next came five minutes of tightening numerous straps. When I finished I stepped back to admire my handiwork. Houdini once said that straight jackets were easy to overcome once you realized that they were designed to hold crazy people. This creation from a fetish supplier in England made no such mistakes, made from black leather with buckles everywhere it left no room for escape. She was still struggling with it when I went to phase 2. First, I again placed her hair in a ponytail. Then I reached for a nest of straps on the table. She didn't know what most of it was for but she could guess were the rubber ball was going. "Please?" "Open!" I commanded in no mood to be messed around. She hesitated but not for long and I pushed the large rubber ball firmly into her mouth. For some reason they call this a ball gag trainer, despite the fact that it is considerably better designed than a ball gag. As well as the usual ball and strap there is a harness that attaches to the strap then runs either side of the victims nose to buckle at the back of the head. A second strap passes under the chin to force the jaw tightly closed around the ball. It is very effective and has the added advantage that once locked in place it can't be worked free even if the victim has the use of her hands. Yesterdays fiasco would not happen again. Once everything was strapped and locked I decided to keep her entertained and distracted. I showed her what I had in mind, a vibrator and harness just as inescapable as the rest of the bondage. It had an added twist, a block of tiny rubber fingers that fastened over the clit and which the designers claimed increased the stimulation without improving the chances of achieving orgasm. This seemed like a good time to test it out. There was a bit of a struggle getting it locked in place but when it was finished the harness looked just like a tight pair of latex panties. The only exception was the speed control knob which jutted out between her legs. Reaching down I set her to simmer, and listened to the small moans that escaped from behind the gag. The head harness had a number of additional components which I'd put in my pocket I quickly retrieved the blindfold section and fastened it over her eyes using the snap fasteners provided. She just stood and shivered as I completed my preparations. She didn't resist as I fastened a pair of leg irons to her booted ankles. I looked down and started to breath again, she'd been made safe. I didn't know what all that was about but I was sure that there was no way she could hurt herself now. I took her back to the cell, she started to whimper and tried to say something. The trainer had been modified so that I didn't need to remove it to get at the ball. I gently unlocked a small padlock, undid a couple of buckles and popped the ball free. "Please," She said, "I'm sorry I didn't mean..." "You have one minute to furnish an explanation, or you are on punishment Slave." "Please, I can't." "Who are you?" I demanded. "A s-slave Master." "What do slaves do?" "Give pleasure to my Master and all others he designates." Which was true but not what I wanted her to say. "What is rule number one." "Obey first time, every time." "And if a slave doesn't." Her lip trembled, "She is punished." "So I'm giving you a direct order, I want you to tell me what this is about right now!" She paused, even with her eyes and most of her face covered I could see a conflict underway. At last she said, "It was what you said about a baby girl." I smiled, though of course she couldn't see it. "What of it Slave," I said, "As Master that is my right!" It was the wrong thing to say. She started crying again. I tried to get though but is was no good. In the end I attached the wire and left her sobbing on the bed. I now knew absolutely that there was something wrong. Her reactions hadn't been right from the beginning. Her sudden mood swings, her lack of backbone and now this. I had a number of theories most of which revolved around major mental illness. One thing was certain I was going to need expert help. I made two calls. First I called Vicky at work. I explained that a last minute personal problem had come up and that I'd have to postpone things for a week. She seemed disappointed until I offered to pay her for the cancelled session and take her to lunch to discuss future plans. Next I called an old college friend, much to my relief she had most of the afternoon off so I arranged to meet her at a bar we both knew. I made my preparations, gave Caroline a drink and helped her to the toilet. She was silent though out and I said as little as possible. Then satisfied that she would be all right for the next few hours I left. Vicky worked as a Dental Hygienist in a section of town that didn't have many good restaurants. I'd arranged to meet her outside the front of her building then go to a little bistro I knew. As she walked towards the car I knew I'd made a good choice. She was almost exactly Caroline's height and build. Instead of Caroline's mane of golden blond hair she had a short mousy bob and they didn't look much alike in the face, but all in all I was satisfied. Any of the outfits I had bought should fit with little difficulty and most importantly in a blond wig and wearing Caroline's clothes they would be indistinguishable in long shot. Once we were at the restaurant I showed her my portfolio, shot's I'd taken with Andy Pearson using some of his models. I had a few photo's taken in Paris last year; Sam, Jean Paul and me, the two of us chatting with Claudia. I'm not usually a name dropper but this was the girl's first modeling job and I felt the need to convince her that I wasn't some random freak. I paid her and apologized again then we ordered. She had a pleasing if somewhat dull personality and tended to limit conversations to subjects she felt comfortable with. For the first part of the meal the subject of teeth made up a large part of the discussion. Then I lucked out and discovered she had a liking for motorcycles. This was more up my alley and the second half of the meal was more entertaining. I said my goodbyes, promised to call and headed for Boston. Mike's is one of the hidden gems of Boston night life. Those who know it call it the real "Cheers" a quiet unassuming Irish American bar with a loyal clientele which doesn't feel the need to advertize or cash in on the tourist trade. The regulars keep it their little secret and to be accepted there feels as much a privilege as being a member of some exclusive gentlemen's club. Mike's draws most of it's regulars from the academic staff of the local universities. No one knows how that came about but I suspect that it is far enough away from any of the colleges to be outside undergraduate stagger range. This allows the professors chance to meet, talk and drink without the risk of student interruption. I arrived early and bought the first round planting myself in my usual booth and waited. A number of regulars passed and a few stopped to chat and the business of Mike's flowed around me. I was part way through the Globe crossword when a damp figure noisily shook her umbrella next to me. I glanced up, "Hello Maggie, is it raining?" "No," She said, "I just like carrying wet umbrellas about. For a supposedly intelligent man Richard Cody you do say some of the most stupid things." She pointed at the pint of Guinness on the table, "Is that mine?" When I nodded she drank it at a surprising speed. The waitress had already seen that coming and was heading in for the next round. "Same again?" I asked. "Hell no. If you asked me to drop everything and head on over it means you've got yourself a problem and that being the case I'm on a professional rate." She smiled at the waitress. Tell George I'll have a brandy and ginger ale, and I want VSOP non of that cheap rubbish. Mr. Cody here tells me he's a paper millionaire lets see if we can't make him spend some of it shall we." I'd met Margaret O'Hanks during my postgraduate research. She was a short slim redhead with wonderful green eyes and a pushy personality. I can't remember exactly how we met but I think our attraction was based on common need; I needed a friend and she needed a TV set. I could virtually guarantee that three minutes before the start of "Saturday Night Live" there would be a knock at the door and she would just walk in sit down and watch it as if she owned the place. She had also been my first gay friend and we spent many happy hours cruising the bars for chicks. It hadn't done my ego any good that she seemed better at picking up women than I was. For a time we had shared a house forming an unlikely threesome with a tall, willowy, bisexual blonde called Kathy. Three in a bed sessions had been quite common though Maggie and I only ever did it together once which had been enough to persuade her that penile sex was over rated. She was a keen if sometimes viscous practical joker, and being her friend was no protection. Some of her exploits had become legends yet surprisingly she had been asked to stay on after graduation and had been there ever since. She was now a well respected researcher in experimental clinical psychology. As always she had guessed right, I needed advice. She hung up her coat and deposited the umbrella in the stand making it back to the booth about the same time the drink did. "Keep an eye this way dear and keep them coming," She said to the waitress who sensing a large tip in the air started to orbit a discrete distance from our table. Maggie took a sip and then looked up and smiled. "So Cody how's the love life, finally got over the Ice Queen." "Her name is Samantha." "I know what her name is," She said sharply. "And I also know that you're well rid of her. Jumped up little bitch. Some women are made too beautiful for their own or anyone else's good." "You're only saying that because she turned you down!" "She was tempted boy! Little miss smarty pants likes the boys all right but she's got an itch in her pants only another woman can scratch." I smiled, this was an old argument one, we'd started almost twenty years ago and it was still going strong. It was Maggie's contention that everyone was bisexual, that screaming hetros and gays were just extremes being 90% plus in one direction or the other. She believed that it was only social taboo that stopped people experimenting and realizing the truth. Of course she was willing to help any girl who wanted to see if this was true, but that she claimed did not invalidate the point. I felt it was time to change the subject. "Talking about itches how's things with you?" A strange mixture of emotions played across her face, "I'm thinking of becoming a nun." "Why?" "Hey, I've been celibate for almost nine months. If I'm going to do without then I may as well get the recognition for it." She spat it out with a bitterness I'd never seen before. "Cheers," She downed the drink and as if by magic the waitress appeared. "Same again." "Look," I said feeling uncomfortable, "If this is a bad time..." "No, look I'm just a little pissed off right now." She gave a deep sigh. "Last Christmas there was a bit of a scandal, girl claimed a professor offered to fix her grades for sex. Now just about everyone knew she was lying, the guy she accused was more interested in this years star quarterback for one thing but the Provost's office sent around a memo about fraternization. Well you know." "And you're taking it seriously?" She scowled again, "It hasn't really stopped anyone. I don't think anyone really trades grades but there are a lot of smart young women attending college these days. If you're getting close to a girl, especially if she's gifted and you want to give her extra help. Well you know." She took another sip, "Current Provost doesn't like me. Oh he'll turn a blind eye while some of this male friends play around but you can bet that if I so much as look at a girl." I nodded. "And it's so unfair," She continued, "I'm interested, she's interested and I know that if I see her some stoolie will blow the whistle so fast I won't even have time to take my pantyhose off." She sat and moped for a while I could tell she was twisted up inside. I started to wish that I'd kept in contact more, but after Sam dumped me I was too preoccupied and the past few months had been full of preparations for the kidnapping. Eventually she looked up and smiled "Anyway what about you." I was tempted to forget about it, but that would leave me with a dysfunctional and potentially suicidal slave. So I let another round come by before I started into my story. I couldn't tell her the complete truth of course, Maggie was ok but I couldn't really start with "There is this girl I kidnapped..." So instead I told her the story I had concocted in the car on the way up. I said that I'd met a girl called Elizabeth at a college party. That we'd been attracted and started dating, I said that she liked bondage sex and rough trade that we had been going steady except that she had these little incidents. I recounted the stories as close to how they happened as possible omitting only the non consensual nature of her imprisonment and the existence of the dungeon. Maggie listened without saying anything but I noticed the occasional flicker of interest most of which coincided with details of the bondage. "You think she's crazy." It was a statement and her green eyes watched intensely. "I think it's a possibility," I said, "If I hadn't made such a bad job of tying off that rope she could have hung herself." "I'd really need to see her, do a full interview." She paused, " Look I have a little practice outside the university she could go there." I shook my head, "If she even suspects that I've spoken to a psychiatrist she'd walk, I'm sure. She's a very private person if she won't tell me, then god knows how she'd react to you." She sipped her drink and in a quiet voice said, "Was she abused as a child." I frowned. "I don't think so. Her father was a minister," I said hoping I hadn't given enough way that could link Caroline with "Elizabeth". "That doesn't mean anything. Nine times out of ten families involved in incest look perfectly respectable from outside. It doesn't even have to be a family member just someone with perceived authority over the child. One thing to me seems telling, the girl has difficulty attaining orgasm except when forced." I scratched my head, I didn't see that but then I wasn't the professional. She glanced out of the window. It had stopped raining and was already quite dark. A young woman was crossing the street dragging her seven or eight year old daughter with her. For a moment I thought of Caroline's imaginary dusty faced daughter. "Look at that child," Maggie said, "Assume that you wanted to have sex with her." I pulled a face. "Look just concentrate on the practicalities. She is smaller and weaker than you, something a lot of pedophiles find particularly attractive. She has no chance of stopping you but when you're done there is a problem; what if she tells. "You could bribe her, but that may not work, you could kill her but that's even worse. Threats are much better and the best yet is to suggest to the child that they have done something wrong. You see if you threaten to kill her or her parents that may work, but even a child knows that you can't watch her all the time. Sooner or later they'll feel safe enough to talk. Now what if you tell her that she was responsible, that she was the one that caused it and that if she is found out she will be the one punished? Then she is never safe. The trusted adult that she may otherwise talk to becomes a potential enemy. The rapist and the child share a secret, one which the child believes is her fault. She believes that any adult discovering the truth will punish her." "I still don't see." I said, "Sorry if I seem a little slow but what does this have to do with orgasms." "Ever have performance anxiety Dick?" She smiled when she saw my face. "Men's sexual wiring is fairly straight forward, stimulus, erection ejaculation. Yet despite that a bit of emotional stress and the whole thing shuts down. Women are far more connected emotionally far more susceptible to emotional shutdown. Suppose that little girl grows up, she thinks sex is dirty, evil and her fault. All the stress and trauma get transferred to the act whenever she has sex she associates it with that trauma and she shuts down. "Now you perform a highly symbolic mock rape one were she is told that she is nothing, a slave with no choice, no responsibility. Do you see if she is forced she has no responsibility. If you then demand orgasm as part of the ritual not only is part of the opposing stimulus removed you are adding extra incentive through threat of punishment." "Seems somewhat unlikely," I said, "And it doesn't explain the recent incident." "Has she had an abortion?" "Hell I don't know, it's not something that comes up in conversation. She's a bible belter, I doubt she could find a clinic that hadn't been burnt down." "Exactly! To me that clinches it. Suppose he got her pregnant, he knows the baby means discovery so he wants her to get rid of it. She's been told all her life that abortion is evil so she resists. So he threatens her, there is still a lot of stigma associated with being an unmarried mother in some places, she's probably seen what happened to other girls. So he tells her that her life is over if she keeps the baby, tells her about the pointed fingers, the accusing looks." The waitress swung in with yet another round. "I need to see her Richard. If I'm even a little right about what's going on here she needs at least counseling, possibly therapy." "I don't think she's ready for that. What could I do for her, perhaps if I could start the process then she may realize she has a problem." She shook her head, "You know my feelings about amateur psychotherapy. You're likely to do more harm than good. What you need to do is get her to acknowledge the problem then find someone willing to take her case. My offer still stands and you get the added benefit that I can't hit on her if she's a patient." I felt the need to extricate myself from the conversation. "What else are you doing these days, at college." She took the hint, "The physiology of social responsibility. We have the use of an MRI. I'm trying to find what makes Mother Teressa different from Ted Bundy." "Oh," I said starting to wish that I hadn't changed the subject. "What we discovered is quite interesting. Sociopaths tend to be very intelligent, fastidious beyond belief and have real difficulty dealing with people. Bit like you in fact." "Thanks," I said, "Now you must excuse me I haven't killed someone for over an hour." She rolled her eyes, "We also discovered that under an MRI they have certain abnormal characteristics, a general change in brain morphology. The surprising thing is that this abnormality is shared by 10 to 20% of our sample usually the more intelligent ones, yet serial killers represent less than one percent of the general population." "Great," I said, "And I didn't feel secure before." "What it means is that the structure of your brain has less impact on what you do than the conditioning it receives through life. The Manson family for instance. When we ran tests on Charlie we found that he was far gone, but other members even those who committed murder would be considered normal according to the scan. It's almost as if they somehow became an extension of Manson, playing out his madness." I started to get interested. "How is that?" "It's not that uncommon actually, over time people can become totally dependant on one another even to the point where a person is basically just an extension of someone else. They continue to function as individuals but act in concert with another to the point were that persons wants and desires become more important than their own. The so called Stockholm Syndrome is a minor manifestation. I wrote a paper on it last year something you would know if you bothered to look me up now and then." The hint of bitterness had returned and I was confused. We had only ever really been close friends, given her sexual preference that was all that we could have been. Yet she sounded like a neglected lover. "Well I have to go," I said, "Got a trip to Seattle day after tomorrow and I still need to pack." "Wait," She said and I recognized the look of need in her eyes. "Maggie? I didn't think?" "Desperate times," She smiled weakly, "I have an itch. Don't worry I won't hold it against you if the answers no." "But why now?" "What I said, about the child and the guilt. It wasn't entirely from clinical experience." She must have seen my shocked face. "It was my uncle, both my parents worked and he was a postman. After work he used to collect me from school and I'd stay with him until my father came home. I always felt that was why I preferred to do it with women, no bad associations. I can't even masturbate properly." "Oh god!" I said and I was genuinely sorry. She smiled weakly, "Nine months..." "What do you want?" "Do what you do with her," She begged, "I think it can work. It removes the responsibility, the feeling of guilt." "I can't," I said as the dark side of my brain screamed YES. "Please, just this once. I won't blame you either way." I looked into her eyes. "Have you done this before?" She shook her head and my mind went into turmoil. She was almost begging and it would answer some of the fantasies I'd had since college. On the other hand I stood every chance of blowing things with my oldest friend. "If I agree there are a few ground rules. First you must call me Master and yourself This Slut. Second for the next three hours you are mine, you have no right to question any of my decisions. You will obey first time every time. If you don't think you can do that walk away. She looked up. I could tell it was a struggle, if there was anyone I knew with a dominant personality it was her. To go to being a sub was the most dramatic change I could think of. She looked up, "Master, this slut is ready." "Go into the bathroom and remove your panties and hose. Put them in your bag." She blushed but stood and headed for the ladies. I whistled the waitress over and settled the bill. She came out of the toilet so red that several people enquired if she was all right. To look you couldn't tell that she wore no panties but she knew and she walked very carefully again causing comments from the others. I pulled her over, "What are you doing?" "Please I..." "This slut!" I hissed "Please, the... this slut doesn't want them to see..." "They won't if you move normally. You just bought your first punishment, if you don't put your head up and strut out of here like a slave slut should we'll make that two." Then we left, as ordered she took long strides with her head back and when she found that her long skirt still hid everything she started to relax and enjoy things. She'd taken a taxi to get here so we wandered up the rapidly drying streets towards my car. I think she thought we were off to her apartment but I had other plans. The sex shop was not one of my usual haunts, the ones in New York carried a better stock, but I'd made a point of finding it in case I had any special needs. This one had a female cashier which was not as unusual as you might think, sex shops obey the same economic laws as your local deli. The cashier looked up from her paper as we entered but was smart enough not to comment. My principle interest was restraints, I didn't carry any with me in case the car was stopped. However that night I was feeling especially generous so I browsed the female apparel section. The choice wasn't that good mostly cheaply put together PVC and rubber items at over inflated prices. Fortunately Maggie was relatively small and I found a nice leather corselet that had obviously been overlooked. I couldn't find matching gloves and boots but cheap PVC pairs would do for now. I handed her my choice and nodded towards the changing rooms. She blushed and started to open her mouth to say something but catching my eye she stopped and did as she was told. While she was gone I took a pair of handcuffs, a ball gag, a blindfold, a collar, some cuffs and a pair of nipple clamps. I had them put rapidly into a plain bag so that she couldn't see what I'd bought. I glanced back towards the changing room and saw a gloved hand reach out through the curtain and beckon. Smiling I asked the cashier for another bag which I stuffed in my pocket. Pulling aside the curtain I glanced inside. The change was astonishing, it seemed that the leather loved her body, flowing over her torso like fine black paint. Her nipples were already very hard and pushed uncomfortably through the peepholes cut into the cups. Down by her crotch traces of pubic hair showed around the point were the corselet passed between her legs. I also noticed the zipper that passed between her legs allowing easy access without the need to remove the whole thing. All in all I was quite taken with the design and decided to have something similar made for Caroline. The boots and gloves were a bit of a disappointment, but if Maggie took to this look I could always get her a decent set for next Christmas. "Well Master what do you think?" The thrill was starting to get to her and she was more like the fun loving kid I first knew. I scratched my head as if undecided. In truth I'd already paid for everything but I had something in mind. "Don't know," I said, "Why don't you show the cashier?" She looked shocked. "No I couldn't!" "Why not?" I asked, "She doesn't know you and you'll never meet again. Besides if she likes it you may have found someone who will scratch that itch a bit more regularly." Her nipples had hardened some more and I knew it was only a few minutes before her brain did what her body already wanted. "Strut slave, remember you are your Masters slut. Do it with pride." She started to walk towards the cashier slinking along with no difficulty. Maggie had always loved high heels and had quite a few years practice on poor Caroline. There were no accidents, no tottering, she just oozed towards the desk while behind her I pulled out the bag and got busy. She was a big hit with the cashier as I walked towards the counter they were already exchanging numbers. "She likes it," Maggie said with some glee, "Are you going to buy it?" "Already have, " I said and passed over her jacket. Then she realized what was in the other bag. I followed her gaze, "Yep we're wearing it out." Her face was filled with horror. I had given her a short leather jacket, her overcoat, and purse were with the rest of her clothes in the bag. Before she had time to think I picked up the bag of restraints and headed for the door. It took a while for her to catch up I was walking deliberately fast and running in high heeled thigh boots isn't easy even for an expert. "You...You.." I smiled, "I knew you couldn't take it," I said, "So you want to give up." Maggie never gave up. It was her creed, she would never admit that she couldn't cut it. I knew that she was fuming but in the end all she said was, "You are walking too fast Master!" I smiled and slowed down. We'd parked a fair distance away and the walk was quite interesting. She managed to fasten the jacket over her erect nipples but is was obvious from her breathing that they were rubbing on the lining. A faint odor told me that she was now truly damp. At the street corner two working girls stood and touted for custom. Hearing the click of heels on concrete they turned. Maggie was quite a sight, The jacket hid most of the outfit down to the waist but her shiny gloved hands gave some hint of what was underneath. The leather covered crotch was a bit of a give away too as were the vinyl thigh boots. They made the obvious conclusion that Maggie was intruding on their territory. If she had been alone they would probably have taken it from her hide but I was either a customer or her pimp and whore etiquette meant that nothing would happen now. Maggie could sense the hostility and started to fall back. "Hey mister, she with you?" "Yep," I said stopping at the corner to allow her to catch up." "How much she charge you?" The shorter one asked. Maggie was close enough now to hear the conversation. I turned towards her. "A C note wasn't it love?" She was lost for words, the short whore wasn't. "Hang on I know her." Maggie winced, the thought of anyone she knew seeing her like this was unbearable. "Hey Red didn't the doctor tell you not to go out again until the infection cleared up!" The taller one got the idea and ran with it. "That's right Red you have to finish all the tablets." Maggie was too horrified to speak. "I'd leave her alone if I was you, she's got the clap. Now both me and Trudy are clean and we'll even take you at the same rate." I turned to her looking shocked, "Is this true?" I could see she wanted to die. "N-no please." It was time to put her out of her misery. "Sorry ladies but the police doctor assures me that my partner here is free from all diseases." Now it was their turn to wince. The small one swore. "You lucked out girls, we're not Vice and we're too tired to work out jurisdiction. I turned to Maggie. "If we let them off we can get back sooner. What do you think?" Maggie had pulled herself up to her full height and was smiling, she gave the girls a reasonable imitation of a thousand yard stare. "I should run you in buy rights," She said sounding unsure, "But then there's the paperwork." Feeling uncomfortable and afraid Maggie would change her mind they moved on taking the occasional glance back at us until we were out of sight. She felt better when we got in the car. "Can I ask for a time-out here." "What's the matter Slave can't cut it." "I can cut it. All I want is a 2 minute time-out. "Ok," I said. "But we add the two minutes on at the end." "Is this how you treat this Elizabeth girl?" "Nope, it's the way I treat you?" "Why?" "Well for a start there's my twenty first birthday party when you left me naked and handcuffed to that tree. What was it you said, something like if you can't torture your friends who can you torture? " She turned white, "God I forgot all about that." I turned and smiled, "I didn't." "That was different, it was a joke!" "It was snowing." "Not when we started. Do you mean that you've been saving that for all these years" "Revenge is a dish best served cold," I said with the biggest smile I could manage. Then some of the tension broke and she started laughing. "God I feel like I'm eighteen again. Were we nuts or what?" "Still are!" I said, "You only grow old if you want to. End of time-out!" We stopped of at a seven eleven on the way back to buy some general supplies. I felt sure that the cashier should have figured out what I was doing, buying duct tape, clothes line and the like. He didn't seem to think it odd or pass comment, probably relieved I wasn't trying to rob him. I got back to find her rubbing her crotch. "Naughty slave," I said and reached for the restraints bag. I'd already tried the key in the handcuffs and added them to my key ring so all I needed to do was feel for the metal object. I made her lean forward and before she knew what was happening I'd cuffed her hands behind her. The smell of hot cunt still filled the car and she squirmed occasionally looking to get a bit more sensation. We drove to her apartment complex, she didn't have a car but she did have a space in the basement car park. I used her key and headed down. Once there I relented a little and fastened the overcoat about her shoulders. Of course it couldn't do anything about the fuck me heels but it hid most of the outfit and the handcuffs. Her apartment was near to the elevator so I decided to take one last risk. While we waited in the empty car park I went through the bags and collected a few items. "Open wide." "What?" "I'm going to gag you," I said sweetly. A look of horror suddenly spread over her face. "Oh god not here. These are my neighbors!" She saw the look in my eye and opened her mouth. I shoved her panties firmly inside, of course she was no stranger to pussy juice so they probably tasted familiar. I few strips of duct tape later and she was effectively gagged. I was pleased with the result but it was a little obvious. As Maggie was a consensual partner it was not quite as critical as if I was transporting Caroline, if we were caught we would be embarrassed but non of us would go to jail. Still I wanted to give her the thrill with minimal actual risk. So I took a head scarf I'd bought at the convenience store and tied it around her head. I deliberately tied it a little forward so that it concealed the gag from the side. If someone looked her square in the face they could see it easily but I had no intention of giving them that opportunity. The elevator arrived, mercifully empty and we went to the back. There I had her turn towards the side wall allowing the scarf to hide the gag more completely. The elevator went up slowly. I gradually became aware of the smell of hot pussy; for all her protests this was obviously a turn on for her. Maggie lived on the fourth floor and we had both hoped that the lift would stay empty but at the first floor the door opened and a middle aged couple got on. I thought I heard a little gagged squeal and I thought they must have heard it too. Worse the hot pussy smell was very obvious in such a small space. Any second I expected a comment so trying to head it off I went into my planned routine. Of course unlike a real captive Maggie had no intention of drawing attention to herself so she was already facing the wall and looking down at the floor. I stepped between her and the couple and started to continue an imaginary conversation, a long involved discussion on the Boston Tea Party that I'd had to memories for school. As planned the couple phased us out and we could have been painted pink for all they cared. They got off at the next floor. The one risk now was that there was someone waiting for the elevator on four. Not only was there little chance of us getting off unnoticed but the chances of someone recognizing her were greater. She realized this and rubbed her taped mouth against my arm in a very Caroline gesture. I pulled her forward so that she was near the controls and positioned myself in front of her. Her eye's were wild she made a few gagged noises obviously wishing to be ungagged. "Trust me?" She closed her eyes for a second then nodded. "Good girl." The events were having a great effect on my erection and secret bondage in public had always been one of my fantasies. I imagined the other couple going back to their apartment and continuing there lives never realizing that the girl in the elevator was a prisoner. "Now when the lift stops go between me and the right wall. I will move with you. If there is someone in the corridor turn to face the wall and act upset." It turned out to be unnecessary as four was empty. I played around finding the right key for a while feeling her panic mount. Finally I got her inside. The smell of hot cunt was now overpowering. I took off scarf, overcoat and handcuffs. She reached for the gag but a quick slap on her hand stopped her. "Not yet!" I handed her the shaving supplies I'd bought and pointed at her crotch. "I'm sure you know the routine now loose it. Leave a little for decoration but the rest goes." While she headed for the bathroom I started to prepare the bedroom. I tied a couple of lengths of cord to the legs at the bottom of her bed and waited. She came out with the crotch zip open to show her nude cunt I passed her the cuffs. "Wrists and ankles, now!" She complied and I rewarded her by removing the gag. "Ok Slave, dildos and vibrators, where?" She pointed at the bedside cabinet. There was an impressive collection and I had no trouble finding a nice powerful little friend to keep her company. I made her turn and fastened her cuffed wrists together with a short length of cord. Then I introduced her cunt to the vibrator and pulled the zipper up to lock it in place. Her hips started to quake and while she was distracted I pushed the ball gag into her mouth and fastened it tightly. She complained but there was little she could do. "Dance slave," I said, "Do a good job and I'll release you." She danced, not as well as Caroline but then I doubt she had the same imagination. Towards the end she moved her body against mine her eyes sparkling when she saw the size of my erection. I took her to the bed and used the cords to spread her legs. I chose now to show her the nipple clamps. This she didn't like as much but with her erect nipples still poking through the peepholes she had little protection. I applied the blindfold and felt her body tremble as her helplessness increased. I knew that she wasn't very good at the old skin flute so I didn't bother to ungag her. Instead I removed the vibrator from her damp box. Sam had demanded oral sex and had taken the time to school her various beau's on the correct technique. I know that I probably wasn't going to be as good as some of Maggie's partners, ownership promotes a certain understanding, but the little noises from behind the gag told me that she appreciated it. I teased, deliberately denying her completion, she groaned. A gentle tug on the nipple clamps every now and then kept her interested and when I knew she was ready I stopped. I reached up and removed the nipple clamps. Then momentarily freeing her legs I tied her ankle cuffs to her thighs using large hanks of cord. When I'd finished she was helpless and unable to protect her naked cunt. I smiled "Well Slave time has come to fuck your worthless cunt. It's no good resisting because you're helpless. Struggle slave and see! " She did, it was futile. I'd practiced on Caroline were escape meant prison, Maggie had patiently let me tie her up. "Scream slave. Perhaps the neighbors might hear." This had worried me. Not knowing how thin the walls were I had the roll of tape nearby in case the gag needed supplementing. It didn't, even when I encouraged her to really let rip there was nothing that could attract attention. "Guess not," I said and slowly removed my clothes letting the bound girl shiver in anticipation. I pulled her over and as with Caroline positioned her on top. Her bound legs would mean that I'd have to do most of the trusting and that would make it slow but the feeling of complete helplessness was what we were after and she was. "I'm going to rape you now," I said "I'm going to force you to cum you little whore if you like it or not. And if you don't cum this time perhaps a pussy whipping will persuade you." I felt her tremble. Then I started and as the excitement built I taunted her. Telling her to scream, that it made no difference because the gag kept her silent, that the bonds stopped her struggles. That I had made her helpless and I was in charge and that I decided her pussy should be fucked and that I wanted her to cum for me or she would be punished. Each time I emphasized the *I* hammering the message home that she was helpless that it was my will and my responsibility. I felt the heat rising as those nine long months came bubbling to the surface and heard the gagged screams as she came again and again. Afterwards she made me a light snack and a drink. She seemed quiet, subdued and quite happy. She told me that it had been all that she'd wanted, and the first time she had ever orgasmed with a man. The cashier from the sex shop was apparently a sub in search of a mistress, and Maggie thought that she might give it a try now that she knew the ropes so to speak. She was happy and I felt relieved, the entire event practical jokes and all seemed to have strengthened our friendship. Maggie hinted that she might want to try this again and an evil thought came into my head, after all I'd always liked the idea of two girls in bondage. So with that happy thought I departed back to the house and Caroline. It was nearly midnight when I returned to the house. A quick video check found that she was well and still as tightly bound as I left her. I made two coffees and headed down. She moaned and attempted to move when I entered. Helping her up I removed the blindfold then waited as she greedily downed the coffee. Then she looked at me with those large expression filled blue eyes. I smiled, "Slave, we have got to talk." Chapter 10: "Patriarch Games" I helped her up. She seemed apprehensive. I suppose I couldn't blame her -- we had hardly parted on the best of terms. Her eye makeup was smeared and I could tell she'd been crying again. I looked into her eyes and she tried to look away. The posture collar made that impossible and I grabbed her chin and forced her to look at me. As I looked into those need-filled eyes, I knew that I'd succeeded, that over a period of just a few days I'd made Caroline Conway -- the preacher's daughter, the good little girl -- hopelessly addicted to sex. She thrust her hips against me again and moaned. She was ungagged and perfectly capable of asking for what she wanted, but these were animal needs and she begged as any animal in heat would. There was more in that look, a silent capitulation that told me that she was all set for another back down. If there was ever a time when she was disposed to talk, this was it. I led her to the toilet and removed the vibrator. She sat, embarrassed as before to have me watching her. I looked at her damp box, no surprise there. She was the juiciest female I'd ever known. She squirmed a little but did her business and afterwards I cleaned her up, finishing by pushing the vibrator back inside and upping the setting slightly. Subconsciously, she thrust her latex covered twat in my direction and her eyes asked a silent question. Just last week she had been a struggling student living in a tiny apartment. Now she stood next to me, a fetish queen begging a man to fuck her, almost a nymphomaniac, and very nearly a slave. The thought amused me. I smiled, caressing her naked breast for a moment to ensure that her nipples had some attention too, then led her into the dungeon. I forced her onto the bondage chair (without dildos) and started to strap her in. I paused, letting my touch linger, as I fastened her ankles to the legs. She was hot and ready so I reached down to her throbbing crotch and as she gasped, begging soundlessly for more, removed the vibrator. She cried out in frustration, horny but denied. I just smiled. That would make things easier. "Ok. I've calmed down a little and I want to hear what you have to say." "Please..." "Want to cum, slave?" "Oh...yes." "Then you won't have any problem telling me what it's all about." She looked up hopefully, "What, about my offer?" "No, not about your offer." "Please Master, I will do any..." "Enough!" She fell silent, sensing my annoyance. I reached down and forced her to look at me. Best get this over with. I smiled. "Ok, so you want to talk about your *offer*. So let's deal with that first, shall we?" I wanted to make sure that she realized the permanency of her position. It would perhaps persuade her to tell me what I needed to know. "It is my intention to keep you forever, but assuming that I did tire of you, what makes you think you would be released? How do you know there isn't a shallow grave in your future?" She shuddered and for an instant a look of fear crossed her face, but then she tried to shake her head. Finding that impossible she licked her lips. "I don't think you could do that," she said quietly. There was perhaps a little flicker of doubt behind those blue eyes, but she did her best to sound sure. I laughed. "What do you base that on?" I asked. "And I hope that isn't a psychological opinion. I wouldn't bet my life on it, not with your grades!" "No," she said, her voice almost a whisper. "Then what?" "A slave must know her Master's mind," she said. "I don't, not completely, but I do know that rules are important to you. I don't think you'd kill me for no reason, I realized that yesterday." I was beginning to see. "You thought I was going to kill you?" She looked up, "I thought that it was likely," she admitted. "I thought I'd have a couple of weeks, a month at most. I tried not to provoke you, not to attempt to escape unless I knew it was going to work... yesterday, when I tried to escape, I thought you would kill me for sure, but you didn't. Then I realized that you were serious about keeping me as a slave and that I had a future to plan for." She looked at me with those big blue eyes, pleading. "My offer is good," she said. "I'll willingly be your slave, do anything in return, the piercing, the brand, even a baby if that's what you want." I smiled again, as I understood. "What you're offering is to be my girlfriend," I said. "Well, it may surprise you to learn that I can get a girl with no trouble whatsoever. If not from love then form the fact that I am a very wealthy man." I brought my hand up and stroked her cheek, again. She didn't try to stop me. "If I'd wanted, I could have bought your pretty little ass," I said. "You could deny it but think; how much did you owe? If I'd have come to you and offered say a thousand dollars for one night would you have really turned it down?" The look on her face told me she didn't know. "We could go on," I said. "How much would the piercing cost me, or the brand, or the baby? Probably a lot less than it's already cost me to bring you here. You remember the outfit you wore last night. Those boots were probably the most expensive footwear you've ever had, that corset alone cost more than half your wardrobe. Taking a slave is a very expensive hobby but it's worth it because in return I get something I could never buy -- complete control of your life. If I decide to throw you out in ten years and you are forced to make your way in the world with no education, that's my choice. I could just as easily sell you to a brothel in Mexico, that's my choice too. That's what ownership buys me." She'd looked upset, almost terrified when I mentioned the brothel. I smiled as I explained, "Caroline Conway doesn't have a future to plan for, slave. She died in that alleyway. My slave has a long and interesting future ahead of her once she accepts her situation and starts looking forward instead of looking back." She was silent, fidgeting nervously like a schoolgirl in front of the principal and perhaps sulking a little. "Now, slave, what I want to know is why you almost hung yourself today." She said nothing. I thought back to Maggie. "Did you have an abortion?" She looked shocked, scandalized. "No. I..." "Then what? Why such a dramatic reaction?" Still nothing. "Slave," I said as kindly as I could, "Ownership means responsibility. You are my slave, I am your Master. I want to help you, and you must need that help otherwise you wouldn't have done something so melodramatic. Now tell me!" I could tell she wanted to but something deep and old was fighting me for her soul. "Tell me!" Still nothing. Then I remembered what Maggie had said, that she may have been threatened punishment if she told. Well, two could play at that game. I allowed the vicious quality to creep into my voice. "I don't have all day, Slut!" "I'm sorry Master." "That is nowhere near good enough," I said coldly. "What is rule one?" "Obey first time, every time." She said without hesitation. "Or?" "Be punished," she whispered. "And this is the creed you live by, the rules you say I always keep." "Yes." It was almost a gasp. "Well then, I have given you a direct order. You are that far away from a major punishment, Slave. That close. You are going to tell me all about whatever it is that's going on here and I mean *now*." I slammed the crop against the table. She started crying. "Please, I can't," she moaned. "A pussy whipping then? Twenty lashes?" She stiffened. One had been painful enough, twenty must have seemed unimaginable. "Please!" "Do I hear thirty?" "No!" "Thirty from the dumb bitch tied to the chair!" I said like a mock auctioneer. "Please!" I could tell she didn't want to say it whatever it was. Coercion was obviously needed and I had to sell her on the idea that major pain would result from a refusal. In an instant my decision was made. I brought the crop down hard on her unprotected nipple and yelled, "Sold!" She screamed and cried but still said nothing. I waited a few moments, then shook my head. "I see. A pussy whipping it is then!" I said with a trace of disappointment in my voice. "No, please!" she screamed. It was agony for her, torn between wanting to obey me and the fear or embarrassment holding her back. I stood and turned towards the cabinet. I'd deliberately left it open so that the floggers hung on the back of the door were visible to her. Of course I knew that these were designed for sexual play, and at worst they could deliver only mild pain and discomfort. But God, they looked marvelous. I heard the gasp as I went towards them. "I-I... I'm a bastard!" I stopped. Not the sort of thing you expect a lady to say, especially about herself. It took me a moment to realize that she meant it literally. Thinking about it, I kicked myself for not spotting it sooner. Caroline's parents' wedding date had been one of the first things I'd checked, as it wouldn't have done for the dutiful daughter to miss such an important anniversary. The date popped into my head and I realized immediately that it was wrong. Or rather, that it didn't match up with Caroline's age. In my defense, a lot of my married friends have cohabited for a while and I no longer tend to directly link married time with length of relationship. The Reverend Conway did not strike me as the cohab type. A quick calculation told me that Caroline was almost eighteen months old when the happy event happened. Then my words came back to me: "...if it's a girl, you can look after it yourself. I don't want to be stuck with your bastards." "You're illegitimate," I said with some relief, remembering the horror stories told by Maggie. Part of me thought she had overreacted; after all, huge numbers of kids are born out of wedlock these days. Then I remembered she hadn't grown up in the real world but in the weird twilight zone that was small town middle America. I could imagine the comments, the knowing looks, the gossip -- and then, another part of the puzzle fell into place. "The Reverend Conway isn't your real father, is he?" I said softly. "He married your mother after you were born." "Yes," Her face flushed with shame. She looked like a heroine from a Victorian melodrama, the foundling child born from sin. I couldn't even begin to imagine the Reverend's motive for marrying a single mother, but knowing the Bible Belt I felt sure he could find some way to sell it to his loyal congregation. "So who is your real father?" She tried to shake her head. "I don't know." She started to cry and my concerns returned. So she was a bastard, but even in darkest Iowa it didn't constitute this much grief. Then I remembered her reaction to my words, the begging letter home to her mother. Mother. "So the good reverend isn't your father. So what?" She said nothing. I took a risk. "He still scares you that much?" She looked at me in surprise, obviously disturbed now. "Y-you know?" "Tell me!" She wobbled her head, sobbing. It was so clear. I don't know why I didn't spot it sooner. I turned to her, making a sweeping gesture with my hand. "All this, all the histrionics," I demanded. "It's all about your father, isn't it?" A look came across her face, a strange mixture of fear and relief. If Maggie was right, Caroline had carried a dark secret with her for many years, afraid to tell anyone because she thought they would hate her. Part of her mind wanted so desperately to tell, to free herself from the guilt. Confession is a powerful aid to conditioning someone; it builds trust because inside we all have something to hide. It's hardly surprising that it is used extensively as part of the brainwashing process. I nodded to myself. "I want you to tell me all about it. Everything, understand?" "No, please--" "Not the right answer!" I said. "Slave, there is nothing you can tell me that can shock me in any way. It's not possible for me to think any less of you than I do at the moment. Make no mistake -- you will tell me, sooner or later. I have a lot of interesting and painful ways to make you tell me. Speak now before I have to whip it out of you, and you may buy a little of my respect." She looked up at that. "Respect?" Her voice was quiet but emotional. "Winning her Master's respect is the only thing that should matter to a slave," I said. "It's the only way she'll ever be anything more than an object." "Please." "What's the matter, afraid I'll spread it around? What do you think I'd say?" I slipped into a fake Texas drawl. "Hey, Bob, old buddy old pal. You'll never guess what I found out -- Caroline, the kidnapped girl I have locked in my basement? Hell, I found out she fucks farm animals." That caused her to smile a little, but there was still the fear in her eyes. "No matter what you did, I'm not likely to throw you out," I continued. "You might as well tell me. Now." "He said he'd..." She closed her eyes, the tears gleaming on her cheeks. "You're afraid he'll hurt you!" She would have nodded but the posture collar prevented it. "Yes," she whispered. I laughed harshly. "You've been kidnapped, taken countless miles away, locked in a hidden room behind a door a tank couldn't get though, and you're still afraid he'll punish you?" "Yes." "Well, he won't," I said, leaning down until I was almost nose to nose with her. "Because to get you he has to come through me, and I'm the scariest thing in heaven or hell that bastard will ever meet." She looked at me with those doe eyes. She wanted so much to believe. "I am your Master, slave," I said, in the purr of a jungle cat. All sleek and powerful and razor-tipped, something that could kill in an eye blink. "You are my property and I defend my property. No matter what." I released her, then, sitting down and pulling her onto my lap. She curled up like a frightened little girl. I held her close, letting her feel the warmth of my body, the tangible physical contact. Remembering what Maggie had said, I gently brushed her breast in a deliberately calming sensation, especially for someone as needful as she was at that moment. "Tell me everything," I said. "No one will punish you for what happened." She looked up at me. It was so close to the surface. "Tell me," I whispered. "I can free you from the guilt." For a while she cried, but I knew it would be soon so I punched a button on the remote. Somewhere upstairs the sound system started recording. She had begun speaking like a child, using simple grammatical sentences like a five or six year old. As the story progressed, her use of language improved, almost as if she'd been hypnotically regressed. Or perhaps she had rehearsed it in her mind for all those years, waiting for that trusted adult that had never arrived to save her from the hell that was her home. In any case, it took several hours for her to get through it. She would periodically break down and I would have to comfort her before she went on. She recounted it slowly, and at my insistence she had described everything in a vivid, almost grotesque detail. When she had finally calmed down, I retrieved a bottle of whisky from the cellar and we drank ourselves into a minor stupor. This time she hadn't argued, as grateful for the liquor as I was. Then I had taken her back to the cell and reattached the wire. She just looked up at me, and I felt the need to hold her. She was stiff and tense, and I knew she could never sleep like this. I started to caress her, rekindling the burning need buried deep inside her womb, feeling her body relax, finally accepting absolution and the freedom from guilt. Then I very gently parted her legs and started to lick and tease her pussy, feeling the warmth, the need sweep across her, obliterating all other concerns. I concentrated on her clit, building the sensation still further, listening as she lost control and her screams of lust filled the room. Then, when I judged the moment was right, I stopped and shifted so that I could gently play with her nipples, listening as the volume of her cries increased still further. I prolonged the moment, kept her on the edge for minute after minute, knowing that to her it was an eternity of sweet agony, a torture far more intense than any pain. I found myself thinking of Maggie and her moment earlier that night, had it been this intense for her? Did I really care? Then I slipped my cock into her warm hole and fucked her slowly, feeling her tightness drawing me in, enveloping me completely. For the first time, I was aiming to give her maximum enjoyment, matching my stroke to her needs and feeling her body strain against the bonds as she crawled over the edge. Then she came again and again, a bursting chain of climaxes, as if all those orgasms her guilt had denied her had finally found release. Slowly, finally, she smiled and almost instantly fell asleep. I paused to loosen some of the straps and relieve the pressure on her arms. She looked like an angel, fine wisps of blond hair framing her beautiful face. She seemed calm, with that strange look of peace in her face that you only associate with children. It was as if all those terrible years had just slipped away and she was a little girl once more, enjoying the deep sleep of a renewed innocence. I was not so lucky. At first I had been enthused by my new power. I knew that the demons of her past were the only obstacle to my total control of her, and went to bed in hog heaven; I had tied up and fucked two beautiful women today, and perhaps Vicky would be number three. I remembered the embarrassment of Maggie in her hooker outfit, those huge begging eyes above her gag as we had traveled up in the lift. I heard Caroline's screams as she came again and again, remembered the sweet taste of her pussy, the look in her eyes that told me she was nearly mine. I had drifted off feeling drunk and very satisfied. It didn't last. I awoke around three with the unpleasant feeling that I'd just had another bad dream and a pounding headache. It had taken two Advil, three cups of coffee and almost two hours of Animaniacs before I felt I could sleep without nightmares. The next morning I woke early. The suggestion of a headache still lurked in the back of my skull so more tablets and coffee were in order. A quick check showed her still asleep, so I cleaned myself up and trudged into my office. I unpacked her little box, quickly sorting the diaries and pictures from the rest of her life. Then I replayed the recording, editing out the pauses and the worst of the anguished cries. Over the next few hours I systematically took her story and turned it into a continuous monologue, telling a harrowing story of her life. I played it a few times to get a feel for it, then used the pictures in the albums and those little locked diaries to add in those little details she had missed. She had begun with a simple statement. "Momma didn't really want me. She never told me so, but I know. I guess I was an accident. It's kind of weird to think about it like that, but it's true. It almost sounds like a movie of the week -- a cheerleader and some high school kid got together in the back seat of one of those big old cars, took their clothes off, and...well, you know. Momma said they had used protection despite her being Catholic, but God had punished her anyway and she got me. "I used to think that I could remember the days... before, but Momma says that isn't possible. My first real memory is of him throwing me to my mother and ordering her to make me stop crying. If she couldn't, he hit her. Somehow, I understood even then that the only way to stop him hurting her was to do as he said. That was the first time he told me not to tell the neighbors or anyone outside our house about what he did to Momma. He said he would hurt her even worse if I did." I looked at her first school photographs, of the sullen blond- haired girl at the back of rows and rows of smiling children. "I didn't understand that we were different until my first day at school. Momma took me to the gate and waved to me as I went inside. The other mothers waited around for a while. They stood there talking, exchanging favorite stories about their children -- normal stuff. But Momma went straight back to make his breakfast. If she had stayed like the other mothers, he'd have gone hungry for a few minutes. Then he'd beat her. That's when I started to understand. The other kids told me that their parents married because they fell in love. I guess I thought mine had, too. And maybe, if they fell out of love, that maybe it was my fault. As I started getting older, though, I realized that she had been young and pretty with a daughter and no husband. Momma was -- I don't know. Vulnerable, I guess. Vulnerable, and weak, and she couldn't stand the gossip and the pointed fingers. So when he offered to make her respectable, she took it even though he demanded her soul in return. You know, she actually told me once that even though she knew he was cruel, she thought she could change him. But he was the one who destroyed her." I looked at the family portrait again. At that stern look, at the way Judith looked down in subservience. "She wasn't really human anymore, the way she'd do anything he said. She...God. She degraded herself on demand. He'd make her do horrible things. I could never understand why -- I didn't know about what it was like for a single woman with a daughter. He held that over her head. Every so often, he would get so mad and threaten to throw us out, tell everybody that Momma was a ten-cent whore who would sleep with anyone. She would cry and beg, and throw herself at his mercy. He never did it, of course -- it was just a way of exercising his power. But she couldn't take that risk." I plucked out a picture taken on someone's backyard. Pretty little girls in light summer dresses, smiling, laughing all except the blond, freckled Caroline. "When I was six, he started...he... he started getting interested in me. Before that, he just used to call me "the Bastard" when we where at home and hit me if I got in the way. But all of a sudden he started to be nice, almost like other fathers. I could tell Momma was scared, but I didn't know why. She kept trying to make sure we were never alone together, but he started to beat her more and more. Then one day he went out to visit a sick parishioner, some old woman who didn't get a lot of visitors. He kept complaining that she'd almost talk his ear off, but he had to go visit her. After he left, Momma said we would play a game. She gave me a suitcase and said we would pretend to pack for a vacation and would see how fast we could get ready. I pretended we were going to Hawaii, and I packed all my bathing suits so that I could be a mermaid when we got there. We almost made it. We were on the stairs when he came home. I remember his face, and his eyes -- they scared me so much. He ran upstairs and grabbed me, then he told Momma to get upstairs into the attic. I could tell she was scared -- she kept looking at me, then at him. Looking back on it, I now know that he was standing by the rail on purpose. If she put up any sort of a fight, he would have thrown me over. He could always claim later on that it was an accident -- kids love sliding down banisters, she must have overbalanced, slipped. I can still feel his hand holding my arm, almost crushing it, and how Momma slowly put the suitcases down and walked up the stairs to the attic. He sent me to my room, and then I heard his steps on the attic stairs. I didn't see Momma again for nearly two months." I listened on a ghostly chill spreading through my body, the almost primeval feeling of being in the presence of pure evil. I stopped the recording and made myself a drink. Then I spun on. "After Momma went up to the attic, he found a lady to come in and do the housekeeping. The Peterssons took Anna -- he told them that Momma had gone on retreat, and he needed help with the baby. They were happy to help out -- I mean, this was Reverend Conway, right? The nicest man in town. Of course they'd take Anna. He kept telling everyone about Momma's retreat, how she was trying to find some spiritual strength and get some rest from caring for two small girls. It was summertime then, and since school was out I'd stay in the house all day long. I remember people would stop by and ask him questions about the socials, or talk to him about church business. Sometimes I went up to the attic, when I knew he was talking to someone, and I'd tap on the door. Once, I thought I could hear something moving inside. But nobody ever answered. Then, one day, I came in from playing in the back yard. He was in the kitchen, doing something at the sink. I don't know why I did it, but I went up to the attic. The door was open, just a little bit, and I stepped inside. I remember how dark it was, with just a tiny bit of light coming in from the dirty windows. At first, I couldn't see anything, and I thought maybe he let Momma come back downstairs. Then I heard the noise. And I turned around. She...oh, Momma. She was hanging from one of the roof beams. He had tied her arms behind her with thin cord, the kind that you used for baling hay. It was wrapped tight around her arms, from elbows to wrists, and the skin was bulging purple at each end. It couldn't have been used just to tie her -- it was there to punish. One leg was trussed up tightly against her body, forcing her to balance on the other leg. On that foot, she was wearing the highest heeled shoe I had ever seen -- I didn't understand how she could even stand up in it. Then I saw the rope above her. It was tied to her elbows, yanking her arms back at this horrible, hurtful angle. She had to stand there like that, her arms almost pulled out of their sockets from the rope tied to the beam. She wobbled a little, and I saw all these red marks and welts across her back, like somebody had been whipping her. Him. He had been whipping her. I must've made some sound, then, because she turned around, and I saw my Momma's face. I almost didn't recognize her -- she was gagged with this filthy rag, and her eyes were huge. They stared at me, and she tried to say something. I took a step forward... she didn't want me to come any closer. She tried to stop me, and she lost her balance. She made the most horrible noise, then, as she fell and her whole weight came down on her arms. I could have sworn I heard a crack as they jerked back in the air. She screamed behind the rag and wiggled, wriggling until she could get her foot under her again. It was horrible. She finally managed to get her balance back and stood there, staring at me. And I stared back. The only place that wasn't bruised or welted or hurt in some way was her face. Somehow, I knew she wanted me to run away and hide. I did. God help me, I did. And I almost knocked him over on my way down the stairs -- he was coming back up for more. The bastard grabbed me and clapped a hand over my mouth, then picked me up and carried me into his bedroom. He threw me onto their bed and shoved a handkerchief into my mouth, tying it there with one of Momma's summer scarves. I couldn't stop him. I tried, but he was bigger than me, and so strong. He tied my wrists behind my back, then tied them to my pony tail, jerking my head back. I read about it later on -- it's called a hammer lock. Then he started tying up my legs and all I could think was oh no, oh no, not like Momma, please God not like Momma. He would have, too -- he would've carried me upstairs and hung me up next her, I know it. But the doorbell rang right then. He swore at me and dragged me to the closet. He stood me on a clothes hamper as he tied my neck to the clothes rail. Then he told me what would happen if I moved. He said I'd fall over because I couldn't use my legs, and I'd hang myself. I'd hang myself and die. That if I wanted to live I should stay still and quiet. Then he closed the closet door. I heard the key turn in the lock, and his footsteps go upstairs. The attic door slammed shut, then he went downstairs and answered the front door. I don't know how long I stood there. I could feel my legs getting numb from the ropes, and I stared into the darkness, praying for him to come back soon because I didn't want to die. I started crying, and I almost choked under the gag as my nose got stuffy. Then I heard steps on the staircase, and a lady's voice. I screamed, then, as loud as I could. All I heard was this muted sound, like a bird cry. I kept screaming, and she walked right past the closet. I kept screaming, and she never even heard me. She used the toilet because I heard it flushing, then she went back downstairs. Finally, the door slammed, and I heard him coming back upstairs for me. He opened the door and untied the rope, then took me down off the hamper. He was...nice. I don't know why. He started untying all the ropes, rubbing my legs when they cramped. He said it was all just a bad dream, and that everything was all right. I knew it wasn't, but I thought he'd hurt me again if I said so, so I didn't." Her father was kind to her for the next three days, playing and laughing with her, to the point were she almost believed that that terrible sight upstairs was only a nightmare. On the fourth day he introduced her to the game. "It started with syrup. He liked good maple syrup, not the stuff that you got from the store but real maple syrup from Vermont. He'd pour a few drops onto his finger, then tell me to pretend that I was a kitten and lick them off. So I did. It was fun, and the syrup tasted good. I never got candy because he didn't believe in it, so something like the syrup was a special treat. Then he told me that if I was a good girl and did all my chores, he'd give me another lick of syrup. I'd clean up my room, and take out the garbage, and put the papers in the bin on the porch, and he'd pour more maple syrup onto his fingers and I'd lick it off. Like a kitten. "Then, one evening, he took me into his bedroom. He said we were going to play a new game with the maple syrup. He took off his pants and got into bed, and told me to get in with him. I didn't want to look at him -- it was all funny and hairy between his legs, and there was this thing hanging there. He took the maple syrup and poured a little bit onto his thing, and told me to lick it off. It was just a game, he said. So I did." I remembered the embarrassed look she gave me. Gradually the amount of syrup was reduced and poor technique discouraged by frequent beatings. By the time Judith "returned," quiet and broken, her daughter was an accomplished cock sucker. For the next ten years, her warm mouth would service her father at least twice a week. As Maggie had predicted, Charles moved the blame for this abuse to his daughter, telling her that she was evil and that she and her mother would be punished if anyone found out. He got his broken and submissive wife to support him and the frightened child never told. I fast forwarded, moving through ten years of systematic and frequent abuse in a matter of moments. "Sometimes, it seemed like Momma was about to stand up to him again. Then he'd take her back up into the attic for a few days, or a week. She'd come back downstairs, quiet and moving carefully. You could never actually see anything wrong with her -- he was too smart for that. He made sure all the welts and bruises could be covered by her dress. When I got old enough, he'd make me sleep in his bed during these times. He'd make me suck him, and swallow afterwards, and he'd push his thing into my ass even though it hurt horribly. "But he wouldn't actually fuck me -- he said it wouldn't do for the reverend's daughter not to be a virgin. Then he'd laugh and tell me he was saving that for when I was older. He did other things to me, too, things he'd read about in books, and sometimes, I-I... don't know. Sometimes it felt... but he told me only bad girls liked that sort of thing. If I liked it, I was a slut, I was evil and worthless. Just like my Momma. He never did any of this to Anna, though. Anna was his angel, pure and sweet and born in holy wedlock. I was a bastard , I deserved everything I got but Anna was a 'good girl.' She knew it, and she made my life a living hell with it. If she broke something, or tore her dress, or lost her homework, she blamed it on me. And he would take me up to his bedroom and beat me while Momma and Anna waited downstairs. When I came back down, she'd be sitting there in the living room, smiling at me. She got worse as she got older. When I was about twelve, I started hearing the girls at school talk about sex. One of them, an older girl, said it was supposed to be fun, and there was a way that you could have fun all by yourself. What you had to do was find this little nub between your legs and rub it gently. I didn't believe them at first -- it sounded stupid. Sex wasn't fun, sex hurt. But one time, when I was taking a bath, I decided to look for the nub. It was kind of hard, but eventually I found it and rubbed it like they said. At first, nothing happened, but then I started to get this funny feeling down low in my stomach, all warm and tingly. Kind of like, sometimes, what happened when... you know. I kept on trying it in the bathroom, and sometimes in bed. One time, it felt like fireworks were going off down there, it felt so good. That was my first orgasm, I suppose. And that was when Anna walked in and caught me. I was in bed, under the covers, but she knew something was wrong and started chanting, "I'm gonna tell Daaaddy, I'm gonna tell Daaaaady." She ran out before I could stop her, and a few minutes later I heard him coming up the stairs. He opened the door and stood there, staring at me. I couldn't move, couldn't even breathe, I was so afraid. He closed the door and walked over to the bed, grabbing the covers and ripping them off me. It happened so fast. He grabbed my legs and yanked them apart, staring down between them, then said that I was a wicked, sinful girl and would burn in Hell from what I just did. He took one arm and one leg and flipped me over, onto my stomach, then pulled up my nightgown. I hid my eyes in the crook of my arm and waited. I heard the hissing noise before I felt it. It was a wire hanger, just like in the movie 'Mommie Dearest.' And they hurt like fire, thin lines of fire all up and down my back, my ass, my legs. I started crying, then I started screaming. He stopped just long enough to stuff a handkerchief in my mouth, tying it with a pair of panties, then kept whipping me with the hanger. He spread my legs and started whipping my thighs, then whipped me once right between my legs. I screamed and fainted. When I woke up, I was tied spread-eagle to the bed. He left me there like that all night as punishment, and Anna laughed at me from the doorway. I had to sleep on my stomach for two weeks. I never touched myself down there again, until... until you. This went on...God, for years, until I got into high school. Then, about six months before my fifteenth birthday, I met Josh Petersson. That isn't exactly right -- I mean, the Petersson's had lived in the town all my life. Our families hung out together. I just never paid very much attention to Josh before -- I mean, he was just some boy in the neighborhood. But in my sophomore year we both entered projects in the science fair. He had the table next to mine and we started talking. We started to study together sometimes in the school library. Since the Petersson farm was out of town he always offered to walk me home after school. Our house was on the edge of town you see, near the church. That's when it started. He was so sweet and funny, and I loved listening to him tell about his family's trips to the Grand Canyon or what he wanted to do when he got older. He'd tease me, trying to make me laugh, and I started to feel safe with him. Somehow, we started holding hands on the way home, and then I let him kiss me. It was nothing like...him. Josh was sweet, and innocent, and it felt so wonderful when he put his arms around me. He asked me to be his girlfriend, and I said yes. Oh, God. Now, I wish I had said no. But I didn't care then. I was so happy that Josh liked me -- it was something all my own, something pure and good. On the other hand, I was terrified that... he... would find out, from Anna or one of my friends. I told Josh that we had to keep it secret -- I made up some lie about reverends' daughters not being allowed to date until they were sixteen. He believed me and promised he wouldn't tell a soul. We kept it up like that for months. Sometimes, I'd manage to sneak away and meet him at this little house on his parent's property. He called it Patrick's house, and said that it would be his someday. We'd wander through it, pretending that we were married and living there, and it was the happiest time of my life. Then, the day before my fifteenth birthday, Josh said that he had a surprise for me and I was supposed to meet him at Patrick's house in the afternoon. I told Momma that I had to stay after school and help one of the teachers mark papers. I don't think she really believed me, but she let me go anyway -- it sounded reasonable, and would keep him happy. After school, I ran to Patrick's house, dodging showers feeling somehow alive. Josh was waiting for me inside, and swept me into his arms the minute I came through the door. We just stood like that for a minute, the two of us safe against the world, as he kissed my hair and told me that I was beautiful, wonderful, that he loved me so much. I looked up at him, and saw the love in his eyes. I knew, then, that he was the only one I wanted to spend my life with. He led me up the dark, narrow stairs, to one of the little bedrooms. There, he had set up a checkered red cloth on the floor with this gorgeous little picnic lunch -- he even managed to filch a bottle of wine from his dad's basement. We sat down, and he insisted on serving me my fried chicken and salad and cookies. It was all part of the service, he said, laughing. My first glass of wine was in one of those little plastic wineglasses, like you can get in the grocery store. It was the best meal I ever had, and I leaned over to kiss him afterwards, as a thank you. I'm not quite sure how it happened. I don't remember a lot of it -- I thought later on that maybe I was blanking on some of it, because of what he did to me. We lay down on the blanket, in a square of sunlight that came streaming through one of the windows. It was a funny day, sunlight and showers, like the world couldn't make up its mind. I do remember watching the dust motes dance in the sunlight, like golden bubbles in the wine. I remember I was happy, and I remember Josh kissing me, and telling me that he loved me. I must have helped him take off my dress -- I don't see how he could've gotten it off in one piece, otherwise. He kept kissing me all over, telling me I was beautiful, so white and smooth, like ivory. He...we...made love, I guess. It wasn't just sex, like with him. It was love, and Josh cried out my name at the end. I lay there, under him, and felt the love coming out of him, and tried to ignore the voices in my head telling me I was dirty, a whore. I couldn't be -- someone like Josh wouldn't love a whore. He held me afterwards, and told me not to worry -- he wanted to marry me, and if I got pregnant he'd just marry me that much sooner. He even brought out this little box, covered in velvet, and gave it to me. It contained a thin gold band, his great-grandmother's wedding ring, he said. It would do until he could afford a real engagement ring -- then he stopped, and looked at me. Will you marry me, Caroline, he asked. I said yes, and started crying. That's...that's when it started to go wrong. Josh wanted to talk to him and get his permission to marry me. I told him he couldn't -- my father would never agree. He insisted that this was something he had to do, that he was proud of his love for me and didn't want to hide it anymore. We fought about it, and finally I stood up and grabbed my dress, crying. I told him that if he really loved me he would listen to me and not say anything to my father. I was so scared -- for me, for him. Somehow, I knew what would happen if anyone tried to take me away from the Conway house. I ran out of there, buttoning my dress and crying. I could hear Josh calling my name, but I just kept going -- I couldn't think, I was so confused and scared. The next day, I had my birthday party. He had allowed me to invite some of the kids from school, but Josh didn't come. I kept checking the door, hoping that he would forgive me and come anyway. I wanted to see him so badly. But he never showed up. The party was nice, I guess. I had a cake, and candles, and presents from everybody. I couldn't really enjoy it, though, I was so worried about Josh. I didn't really notice as all the guests started leaving, until the house was quiet again. Just us four. Anna wound up going to sleep early -- I think she was mad that I was the center of attention for once, and she couldn't do a thing about it. Maybe an hour later, he took me by the shoulders and said that he had a special present to give me. I still remember that smile, and Momma sitting at the kitchen table, not daring to look up. He took me upstairs, to their bedroom, and told me to pull my shorts down and unbutton my shirt. I thought we were going to do what we'd always done, but he pushed me on the bed and told me to stay on my back this time. I closed my eyes, and prayed to God to let me die. I heard the zipper, then the rustle of cloth as he took his pants off. The bedsprings creaked as he climbed on. He... he... oh, he got on top of me, and I could feel it between my legs, poking me. Then he pushed it in, hard. He...I know now, he must have been trying to break my maidenhead. Josh had been so careful, so gentle. All he wanted to do was hurt me. His face...changed. I could see it, see the realization that there was nothing in his way. I wasn't a virgin anymore. He leaned back, staring at me, then took his full weight on one hand and slapped me hard with the other one. "You WHORE!" he screamed, right into my face. "You filthy whore! You've been fucked before! You let someone fuck you!" He kept slapping me, knocking my head from side to side with the blows. I tried not to make a sound, but soon I started screaming. I couldn't help it. He pushed himself up, then, and grabbed me by the hair, dragging me off the bed and opening the door so that he could throw me into the hallway. My head slammed into the wall opposite, and I shut up, breathless from the pain. I thought he was going to kill me, somehow I got enough of my breath back and flung myself down the stairs. I still don't know how I managed it but I kept my balance and somehow realized I had to get to the door -- to Josh. He screamed something and started down after me and I started towards the door knowing he wouldn't reach me in time. Then suddenly someone grabbed me by the hair, I spun around willing to fight to get away. If it had been Anna I would have smashed that smug face into the wall... It was my mother. I couldn't believe it, and I don't think she wanted to. She was broken you see, at the time I couldn't imagine why she would side with him, didn't fully understand the fear and the pain... Then he clamped his hand over my mouth and told her to get a rope. She did, like a zombie and held me as he tied me up. He gagged me with a knotted towel then he pulled and pushed me upstairs. I looked down at her as she stood there and part of me knew he'd won, knew what he'd do next. He'd tied my ankles but it was proving too hard to move me like that so he pushed me over and retied them as a hobble. I tried to kick but I knew it was useless. Snarling, he grabbed me by the hair again and forced me to stand up, then pushed me -- Pushed me -- Towards the attic stairs. He took me up to the attic, just like he had taken Momma almost ten years before. And he retied me, with my arms roped to a beam in the ceiling so high that I had to stand on my tiptoes, then he spread my legs and tied each foot to old, rusted eyebolts in the floor so that I was stretched even further. I read later on that people could suffocate in that position, that it was the way people died when they were crucified. I could hardly breathe, and my face hurt so badly as he grabbed my cheeks, and pulled the gag tighter. I could feel my lips puffing up, the blood making them sting in the hot, stuffy air. He cut my clothes off, shredded them with a craft knife, and I thought he was going to cut me for sure. But he just stood there, examining me like I was a piece of sculpture. And nodded, as he took a bullwhip off a hook on the wall. He said I had sinned against my God and my religion, but most importantly I had sinned against him. I had denied him what belonged to him by marriage, and was now lower than anything that crawled in the dirt. I had to be punished. I couldn't move as he walked behind me. I could only wait, and breathe, and hope to die. I heard the sound first. Then I felt the burst of fire across my back. It was the worst, most intense pain I had ever felt, worse that his slaps, worse than the pain when he pushed into me. I screamed into my gag, arching my back, trying to move away from the pain. He whipped me again, and again. He told me later on that he had whipped me 40 times, one more than Jesus because I was a worthless slut. I didn't know -- I fainted after the sixth lash. When I woke up, all I could feel was the pain. All up and down my back, my ass, my legs. I blinked, trying to breathe through my stuffed nose. And I saw him sitting on a chair in front of me. He straddled the chair with an elbow propped on the back, chin on fist. Just staring at me. When he saw that I was awake, he smiled at me, and asked me who had fucked me first. I don't know how I did it, but I shook my head. He said, very gently, that God would only forgive me when I told him who had defiled me. But I wouldn't. Afterwards, I found out that I had spent two weeks up there. Two weeks in that hot, filthy attic, while he...experimented on me. He had all these books and magazines, things that he bought mail-order from special companies in the city, from farm supply stores, from all kinds of places. And he tried them out, one by one, on me, always asking me to tell him who had fucked me first. He tied my legs to a board and forced my feet down until they were pointed, then strapped them down and left me there while my calf muscles cramped in agony. He smeared Ben-Gay on a huge dildo and shoved it up my ass. He told me about female circumcision, and said he was gonna cut off my pussy lips and clit and sew up my pussy so that I'd never enjoy sex again. In between, he beat me and whipped me, just for the fun of it. I held out until... he had installed a workbench up there, some kind of heavy-duty wooden table. He strapped me to it. He forced my legs into these homemade stirrups, spreading them wide so that he could get at my pussy. He'd been at it a lot, pushing dildos and other things into me, fucking me over and over, fisting me until I thought I would die from the pain. But nothing he had done was as bad as this. I-I... didn't like needles. I didn't like the idea of things being stuck into me, being broken off so that I couldn't get at them. He found that out when he started sticking pins through my nipples, and ...he had this little board, made of thin wood and shaped like a butterfly with an oval hole in the middle. He called it his butterfly board. I thought it was because of the shape until... until he put it between my legs and pushed it up against me, hard. Then he pulled my pussy lips through the hole. He pulled and stretched them until I could feel the wood scraping against my clit, the insides of my thighs. Then he held up the pin. And I screamed. I screamed and screamed, and he pushed that pin through my pussy lip, pinning it to the board. I couldn't stand it, couldn't stand the feeling. And he kept doing it, stretching the lips until they were completely pulled through the hole and he could pin them to the board like a butterfly. I...went crazy, I guess. I thrashed my head from side to side and cried and begged underneath that gag, and all I could feel were those pins opening me up, stretching me wide. Then he held up another pin, and touched my clit. He was going to push it through my clit, he said, and rip it through unless I told him what he wanted to know. I could feel myself snap. I couldn't stand it anymore. I made these animal noises and nodded as hard as I could, trying to make him come up and take the gag off so that I could tell him, tell him all about Josh. When he did take the gag off, I started babbling, saying that Josh loved me, he wanted to marry me, I would never tell anyone about this, oh please please... He smiled down at me, and brushed the hair out of my eyes. He said that I had finally pleased God. Then he pushed the gag back in my mouth. And he went down and pushed the pin through my clit. And he left me there like that, for the rest of the day, screaming. I finally stopped screaming, I don't know when. I just drifted, blind in the dusty darkness. He would always find me, always make me do whatever he wanted, always hurt me. He enjoyed pain, enjoyed watching it in other people. I...gave up. There was nothing I could do. And that's when I heard the doorbell. Even up there, I could just hear the voices at the door, and I recognized Josh's voice. He had come for me, after all, but it was too late. I tried to warn him tell him where I was but I was gagged. The voices faded, and I fell into the darkness. Sometime later, I felt an aching, gnawing pain and woke up. He was standing at the foot of the table, pulling the pins out and pushing my lips back through the hole. He told me that Josh had come and asked for my hand in marriage. I said I needed time to consider the offer, he chuckled, and asked Josh to come back in two days. He unstrapped me from the table and helped me sit up. It hurt to close my legs, both from the muscle strain and from the damage to my pussy lips, but I managed it. Then he put a little padded bed desk on my lap, with a piece of my notepaper, and pushed a pen into my hand. I was to write down exactly what he said -- I was to tell Josh to meet me in the woods, where he usually went hunting, tomorrow at three o'clock. I wrote the words automatically, my mind blank, and I signed it at the bottom. Then he pushed me back onto the table, strapped me carefully into place, and covered me with a blanket. I stayed up there for another five days, doing whatever he wanted when he came to see me. When I finally came down, I found out about Josh. He had gone hunting, his mother said between sobs in our front parlor, and must have slipped near a gully. Josh's body had been found at the bottom of it, half his side blown away in the shotgun blast. His funeral had been the day before. She sniffled and said she understood why I couldn't come, being as sick as I had been. I shouldn't feel bad about it -- Josh would understand, too. Then I remembered the note and realized that my weakness had killed him, that if I had resisted he could still be alive. I sat there, silently watching as he held Mrs. Petersson's hand and patted it. Then he turned his head and smiled at me. And I knew I would never get away." I stopped the tape again, the sick feeling returning to my stomach. After this it all made sense, her actions, the way she always backed down and those looks of fear always out of all proportion to what I was doing to her. And above all there was that question, "Why me?" Any kidnap victim may think it but they usually refocus on the more basic questions of survival. In Caroline's case? Well to be tormented by one maniac was bad enough but by two unrelated individuals? I could see what she was thinking, did she attract them in some way. I scratched my head remembering back to my first sight of her. I was sure I'd been attracted to her amazing good looks but was that true? Could I have instead reacted subconsciously to some quirk, some submissive body language that marked her as a victim? Was it important? I looked again at Conway's picture. He was a large stocky man with thin graying hair and a thick curly beard. In his middle to late fifties I thought and more than a match for a terrified girl and her mother. Then I thought of tall, lanky, naive, Josh --he hadn't really stood much of a chance either. I looked at myself in the mirror. My father's strong Irish temper had already brought a flush to my face and once again I thanked my kind gentle grandfather for contributing his strong Russian genes through my mother. Heavy, agile and resilient I knew *He* would have a harder time with me. Even then I knew that there would have to be a reckoning, that a slave can have only one master. He was a sadist, but Maggie said I was a closet sociopath, and I was infinitely patient. When we met it would be at a time and place of my choosing and I knew I would take great delight in crushing him. It was almost time to wake Caroline I started towards the door when the phone rang. Puzzled I answered it but with the exception of a few booming noises there seemed to be no one there. I was preparing coffee when it rang again. "Hello?" "Huuumph." "I'm sorry?" "Oomph Hee!" "Sorry?" "Ummph!" More insistent this time and my brain suddenly clicked. "Maggie? Is that you?" "Mmmmm!" "Don't tell me, you decided to try self bondage and now you can't get free?" There was an embarrassed silence. "Mmmmph" "Ok, I'll be there in two hours. Ummmphhhh!!!!! I'm sorry that's the best I can do. I don't live in Boston remember! If you like I can call the fire department for you?" "Nnnnmmm!" "Was that no? Grunt once for yes twice for no." "Mmmm...Mmmmm!" "Ok about two hours then, try to sit quietly until I get there." Nine in the morning and already a freaky day. I looked at Conway again, at those cold dead fish eyes and shuddered. Then I headed off to see my slave. Chapter 11: "French Lessons" I wandered into the kitchen thinking again of Maggie's predicament. She'd always been impulsive, liable to go off and do strange things for no good reason. This wouldn't be the first time I'd been forced to bail her out when things got out of hand. An image of her bound and gagged flittered through my mind and I was suddenly and unexpectedly hard. Wow! On one level I realized it was wrong; here was a long time friend in an embarrassing and potentially dangerous situation. I shouldn't be getting off on it but it was such a turn on I simply couldn't help myself. I could imagine her lying there, wrists raw from her frantic struggles, body coated in sweat. At first she would have been too embarrassed to call for help - - after all she wouldn't want the neighbors to find her like this. But as she tired and that knot of fear grew in her gut, she would have abandoned any thought for her dignity. After all, survival is of primary importance. I suppose she would have tried screaming first, but the gag was so tight I'd had problems hearing her close to a phone. Then as her neighbors started to leave for work and she could hear them passing her door, I could imagine her desperate attempts to attract their attention -- the thrashing about, the gagged screams too quiet to be heard, then finally that desperate, frantic phone call. The drama of it appealed to me. The reality, the danger, it was like our little adventure of last night. There had been something, perhaps her look of humiliation in the slut outfit, or the risk of discovery in the elevator, that had given the experience more of a kick. Whatever it was, it seemed to be missing from my relationship with Caroline. Don't get me wrong; nothing in my life compared with the immense thrill of the kidnapping. The first time I'd raped Caroline as she lay there bound and helpless --- when I'd felt her struggles, heard her gagged moans I'd been in ecstasy, but after that it had started to become a little tame. I still got a huge kick out of just having her. She was young, sexy, beautiful and completely in my power. I was in control freak heaven. I could degrade her anyway I liked; I was the one with the Power. It was the ultimate geek's fantasy. I had a pretty blonde cheerleader tied up in my basement. Yet strangely enough, bondage sex with my real prisoner did not seem as real as my little act with Maggie. I think it's lack of spontaneity. Although I keep Caroline bound and gagged most of the time, it's mainly for show. She spends her days locked behind an armored door in a sound-proof room; escape is impossible and the bonds are overkill. I thought again of Maggie lying helplessly in her room. In her case the bonds were real, the cuffs constrained her, the gag stole her voice and any chance of rescue. And that rescue is so tantalizingly close. I looked at my watch. Two hours I'd told Maggie. Two hours if I'd been ready in my car. Two hours if I did eighty all the way and dodged the state troopers. Two hours if I didn't have a slave to feed. She would understand my lateness, I was sure. Then a strange thought struck me. Suppose I was killed in a car accident on my way to save Maggie? I realized immediately that both girls would be doomed. Maggie would eventually be found when the police searched her apartment, but Caroline? Caroline would die of starvation alone and helpless and the chances were her body would never be found. Strangely, I found the thought thrilling; to think that two other human beings were so dependent on me that they would die if I did. What a feeling of Power! Caroline... To be honest, I couldn't think about Caroline without feeling a little numb. I can't really say that I was emotionally drained; I am by nature and training an analytical person, and emotion doesn't come easily to me. But the horrors of that attic room continued to haunt me as I started the coffee and began to prepare breakfast. I forced myself to analyze the situation in depth, going backwards and forwards over a tale that seemed more and more incredible. Last night when she had first told me the story, I had believed her completely. But now in the cold light of day I started to doubt. I suppose I didn't want to believe that a father could do this to his own daughter, and instead I started to wonder if this was some elaborate hoax. At first I couldn't see a motive for such a flagrant lie. Then the cynical part of my brain found a reason - - to somehow shame me into freeing her. Of course, that must be it! I could almost imagine her lying there alone in the dark, concocting a story loaded with all the abhorrent images her psych training had taught her. She was just trying to manipulate me, trying to escape. Happy to find an explanation, I started to pick holes in her story. One thing hit me immediately; surely such torture as she had described would leave scars, huge horrible scars like in the movies. No scars meant no torture, which meant she was playing me for a sucker! Suddenly I felt very angry. I wanted to go down there and introduce her to the lash, help put that added bit of realism into her story... Then I wondered just why the lying bitch should have a breakfast when poor Maggie was all alone and helpless. Alone and helpless...Then, an evil thought struck me. My old accomplice Fate had once again delivered me a wonderful opportunity, if I chose to take it. Of course it would be expensive, but as I'd pointed out to Caroline taking a slave was far from cheap. As the plan started to form, a gut-level thrill went through me, and I started putting together a list of things I'd need. I was tempted to forget about Caroline and let the bitch fend for herself, but in the end I relented and decided to make her a health drink for breakfast. After all, I did want to put her on a diet and I'd already decided to give her low residue foods while I was away in Seattle. The image of a helpless Maggie flashed through the window of my mind. Yes, it would be worth it. My hand shook as I took some Gatorade and a box of protein powder and loaded up the blender. For my plan to work I needed to get to Boston *fast*. Fortunately, I knew a way. All I needed to do was make a few phone calls and find something for Caroline to do this morning. The calls were the easy part. Traveling as much as I do has a few advantages, one of which is that lots of hotel chains and car rental agencies see you as a valued customer. They're more than willing to provide an extra service for you, rather than lose you to a more compliant competitor. Fifteen minutes later and everything was ready. Now all that was left was Caroline. I went downstairs with the protein shake and a flask of coffee. I paused at the table and retrieved some new clothes and restraints. Then I crumbled a contraceptive pill into her coffee cup and topped it up. So far she hadn't noticed anything wrong, and soon I'd start ordering her to take it, adding her reproductive ability (or inability, as it were) to the things under my obvious control. She was still asleep when I went inside. I was tempted to shake her awake and have it out with her right then, but common sense finally fought through. Instead of waking her, I put the cup on the dresser and bent down to examine her naked crotch. I had been right about the stubble -- she would need a shave soon -- but of more interest to me were her pussy lips. Very gently, so as not to disturb her, I examined the folds. Even in the dim light, I could see a series of irregular pockmarked scars about a sixteenth of an inch from the edge. As I looked closely at the tiny pits, I felt my stomach turn. Any doubts I still had evaporated as those scars, so exactly like the ones from a hypodermic, told me that the "butterfly board" was real. Gently I examined the other side, noticing the corresponding marks that showed how the needle had gone right through the delicate membranes. Above me, she moaned, her tongue darting quickly across her other lips. There was already the suggestion of moisture in her cunt from my handling of her pussy lips, and her nipples had started to harden again. Then I realized what agony it must have been for her; to be this sensitive and for him to do *that.* I wasn't surprised that she'd told him about Josh -- in a similar situation, I'd have done anything to stop the pain. I felt a momentary flash of guilt for having doubted her, so I reached over and gently stroked her cheek. She woke slowly, smiling as she attempted to stretch then found that she couldn't. For an instant she seemed puzzled, then she remembered. Her eyes flickered open. I smiled at her. "Time to wake up, lazy bones." Surprisingly, she smiled back. "Hi Master." "Not yet, but the day is still young," I said flippantly, and slapped her bottom. I helped her up and we went through the coffee and toilet ritual. She seemed happy; our first therapy session together appeared to have relaxed her. I knew that she hadn't told me everything, though. Her story had stopped soon after Josh's death, with three whole years of horror left. One thing I did find out last night was that the Reverend Conway could pack a lot of suffering into a year. The thing I most wanted to know was how she'd escaped. Had she run away? Did that explain her destitute condition and lack of letters home? I needed to know before I posted something out of character to her family and gave the game away. Still, that could wait. She seemed much better than last night and I started to feel happier with the idea of leaving her alone for a while. I led her into the dungeon and removed the posture collar from her neck, replacing her old collar. After I chained her to the table I removed the rest of the single sleeve and smiled again. "Ok, get naked!" She didn't hesitate, stripping off the remaining latex in moments. I circled her body, admiring her slim athletic build and small but perfect breasts. I had come to appreciate just what a find she was and I could understand why any man would kill to keep her. I tossed her some leather cuffs which she put on without comment. To put on the ankle cuffs, she put one foot at a time on the bondage chair and bent over, and I took the opportunity to look at her back carefully. The lines were faint, so faint that I wasn't surprised I had missed them. These were not the vivid scars so beloved of Hollywood, and I suspected that Conway had been very careful to ensure that all tell-tale wounds healed properly. Yet faint as they, were the scars were there. It was more support for her story. By now she was waiting expectantly, so I handed her the shake. "What's this?" she asked, looking at the concoction with some distaste. "Breakfast," I said. "Michael Jordan's secret recipe. Denis would *kill* to know what's in it." She looked blank. "Not a big basketball fan then?" I asked. Again getting no reply I went for the less subtle approach. "Just drink it, slave. It's all the meal you're getting this morning." "Why? Have I upset you in some way?" she asked, almost fearfully. "Because if I did I'm sorry..." "No, it's just healthier than the cooked breakfast. Now drink the fucking shake!" She chugged it down. I got the feeling that she was trying to avoid any confrontation, which suited me fine. Most of the last few days had revolved around her, a situation that couldn't continue if I wanted to keep working. Now was the obvious time to acquaint her with the lowliness of her new position; that as a slave, she was just a possession like any other and had only a limited influence on my life. Once the shake was finished I clipped her wrists to her collar and began to dress her. First up came a black leather bondage belt. This was about three or four inches wide with rings equally spaced around it. It had buckles on the front and a small catch, and after tightening it firmly about her narrow waist I locked it in place with a padlock. She didn't struggle or even comment -- cuffs, gags and chains were a part of her life now, and I think she'd started to accept that. Once the belt was locked in place I helped her on to the table and used cord and straps to tie her down. As before, I strapped her with her legs parted and her pussy exposed. I wished I had the time to shave her twat again but I had a lot to do and the clock was ticking. Once Caroline was secure I reached over and took a packet from the table. The packet took some opening as it was designed to keep its contents sterile. After a struggle I finally got it open and was able to remove the catheter. This was a small hollow tube surrounded by an inflatable surgical balloon. I looked for a reaction but it was obvious she didn't recognize it. She was still wearing the training harness, so after a little thought I reached over and pushed the ball against those cherry lips. She opened immediately and I pushed the gag in, loosely fastening it just enough to hold it in place. Then, using a small jar of lube, I greased the end of the catheter and parted her pussy lips. Her clit had already started to swell and as I gently pushed it out of the way her whole body trembled. Very carefully, I placed the catheter against her urethra and pushed. A muffled squeal erupted from the far end of the table, and her hips quaked as her body fought against the imprisoning bonds. The thin tube slid home into her bladder, and I slowly inflated the balloon the small amount needed to seal it in place. Then I removed the pump and waited for her to calm down. Needless to say this took a while, but eventually she was ready for the next stage. I call the device a McGuffin. It's a small oval piece of latex a little bigger than a woman's labia. One side is plain, and the other is studded with electrodes and small piezo-electric buzzers. This particular one had been designed for use with the catheter and had a small hole between the cluster of electrodes for the clit and those for the rest of the pussy. Sliding it down the tube, I gently moved it into best contact. At the other end of the table the moans started again. Once it was in position, I sealed it in place using surgical tape, then released Caroline. She stood a little uncertainly; it must be odd for a woman to suddenly find a pipe between her legs, and she struggled a bit more than usual as I covered the arrangement with a special pair of spandex pants. I used a locking belt to fasten the pants in place then started to apply electrodes to her breasts. She struggled and moaned into the gag as I stuck a couple of other McGuffins on top if each nipple. I finished up with an spandex athletic bra just like those in the shops except modified to lock in place. Then I removed the gag. "What are you doing...Master?" "Careful, slave. You almost bought yourself a punishment!" Her eyes were wide. "Isn't this a punishment?" I laughed and kissed her forehead. "Why, have you done anything wrong?" She thought for a while. "Not as far as I know." "Then why should I punish you?" It seemed straightforward to me, but then Conway had never needed a reason to punish her. I smiled. "I have to go somewhere and I need to keep you busy while I'm gone. Trust me, all will be revealed!" She squirmed. "That thing...it's uncomfortable." "Yep, it is." I pushed her back onto the table and locked a pair of shoes with sensible heels on her dainty little feet. Realizing she wasn't going to get any sympathy, she pouted for a while, then seemed to realize that she was ungagged and could talk. She looked up. "Master?" she asked softly. I stopped for a moment. "Yes slave?" "Can we talk about your mother?" I was puzzled but willing to play along. "I suppose so." "Do...do you love your mother?" That caught me by surprise. To be honest, my mother was a bit of a bitch. While my father was tending the store, she'd ruled our household like a petty tyrant. When it had become clear that I was... different... she had pushed me towards greater and greater academic achievement. If for some reason I didn't jump a grade or score better than anyone else on a test, she wanted to know why. Thinking back on it, if it hadn't been for my grandfather's gentle but firm insistence on letting me have some free time to myself, I don't believe I would have had a childhood at all. It was my belief that most of my problems with women had come from her; my desire for sexual dominance, my status as a power freak, was a subconscious backlash against her total domination of my childhood. "Of course I love her," I said, and it was true. After all, you'd have to be really screwed up not to love your mother. She gulped a bit. "If something...bad was going to happen to her, something you could prevent, you'd do it, right?" I attached the leash to her collar and led her over to part of the dungeon near the cell. "Yes," I said. Caroline seemed to prefer straight answers. The floodgates opened. "Please, you have to let me go or he'll kill her," she begged. "He'll kill my mother?" Needless to say, I was shocked. "NO! He'll kill my mother!" she wailed. I stopped. "When did we start talking about your mother?" I said, sounding confused. In the back of my mind I could imagine the laugh track, like this was some weird sitcom. In my head I could almost hear the intro -- 'New this fall, the hilarious new show "Master and Slave," coming soon on NBC! Richard Cody, successful author, kidnaps a girl and keeps her in his basement -- you'll be rolling with laughter as he tries to keep this fact secret from friends and family, often with hilarious results!' "Perhaps if you start again," I said smoothly. "Who's going to kill who and why?" She took a deep, halting breath. "Momma wanted me to go to college, but at first my father wouldn't let me," she said. "Then she talked him around, but he said he was going to call me every week. If I ran away or if he found out I'd told anyone, he'd kill her and then himself--" "How could he find out?" I asked, annoyed. "That's stupid, he can't be keeping track of you all the time." She shook her head. "He has friends in the police, lodge buddies, he says they'd warn him if the police started getting interested in him. He'll do it, I know he will!" So she hadn't escaped him. She was still as much his prisoner now as she had been in that attic. Conway still had her on a tight leash; only the nature of the chain and its length were different. While I could believe that he had contacts in local law enforcement and even see how they might tip him off, there was no way he could have everything covered. Then I looked at Caroline and saw the fear in those blue eyes, and I realized it didn't have to make sense as long as *SHE* believed it. Still, I was intrigued enough to want to know more. "So he let you leave town on the understanding that he was to know where you are and that you were to keep quiet about the things he did," I said. She nodded and looked down. I reached over and forced her to look at me. "What if he were to order you back?" She sniffed. "I had to come at once." "He specifically told you that?" She nodded again. "He said that if I disobeyed, it would be Momma who was punished because it was her idea." Somehow I didn't think he would limit the punishment to just the mother. So he'd let Caroline go. Suddenly, the alarm bells in the back of my mind were on overload. One thing I'd learned was that he did nothing without a reason, and I knew for sure was that whatever that reason was, it hadn't been to please his slave wife. No, if Charles Conway had allowed Caroline out of town then he had something in mind and from experience it wasn't going to be pleasant. Conway's plans tended to be pretty straight-forward. He didn't mislead or bluff; instead, he relied on using his position in the local community to best effect. I was sure that had the Conways not been the family of the local minister, someone would have spotted the abuse long before now. But then, as Caroline had said, who would suspect the nicest man in town? Hell, even I'd thought she was lying. I guess people just don't want to believe something like that. I analyzed the problem. I could see no obvious benefit for getting her out of town, but then I didn't have all the data he did. However I knew there was a reason and it would be obvious from Conway's point of view. Then something else popped into my head. "Hey, wait a minute! If he's told you that he intends to call you back, then what was that 'offer' of yours?" "My offer was good." "Bullshit! If he called you back to Iowa, how could you have been my slave here? You lied, you little bitch." She flushed. "I don't think he'll call. I've been away almost eight months and I've been able to avoid going home even during vacations. He hasn't said anything. I'm almost free." I shook my head. "No you're not. He's just played out the line a little, that's all. He has every intention of reeling you back." A look of fear crossed her face. "Oh no. I mean, he wouldn't..." "He would," I said harshly. "My guess is he was going to do it soon, otherwise he'd have given you some more money." "I don't see..." "You're on a scholarship, right?" She nodded. "What is it, a hundred percent of tuition costs?" She nodded again, a worried look spreading across her face. "And he pays for your rent, food and things. I mean, he gives you money for that." "Yes," she whispered. "Let me tell you what's happened and you correct me if I'm wrong. He's never really given you enough to live on, so it's always been a struggle. He's said something about working your way through college builds character. He hasn't worried when your grades have suffered as a result. Recently, he's sent you even less money, and he's been making noises about coming for a visit." By now the look of alarm had turned almost to panic. "Next month. But how..." "I'm afraid it's obvious. He's coming to get you to take you back," I said. Her face filled with horror. "Back..." "Probably straight back to the attic, so that he can purge you of any independent thoughts." "NO!" she shrieked. "Please God, NO! I've left, I'm independent. Never again! Oh, God, never again!" "You never left," I said sadly. "He wanted you out of the way for some reason. He never had any intention of letting you finish that course." I continued to lead her gently towards the far corner of the dungeon. "You see, if you fail or he brings you back, the tuition fee will be wasted but he doesn't care because he's not paying it. The maintenance fee is something he *does* pay, which is why he's keeping it as cheap as possible. That's why he never gave you enough money, and he hasn't sent you any more because he knows you won't be needing it. Besides, he figures you may fear the attic more than what he'll do to Momma, so the less money you have, the less chance there is that you'll run." The tears streamed down her face. "No!" she screamed, "you're just saying that so you don't have to let me go! He couldn't...*I can't!*" I looked her in the eye. "Slave, I don't have to let you go. Even if he was intending to flay your mother alive, it's no skin off my nose." I winced at the subconscious pun. "What I mean is, I'm the only one who has no problem being honest with you because I *know* what you're going to do." "And that is?" "Exactly what *I* tell you," I said. She looked down deep in misery. By now we had come to the far corner and a couple of items which were covered by dust sheets. Still sniffing, she looked at them with some trepidation, probably thinking they were some arcane torture device. And in fact she was right, as she saw when I pulled the sheet aside. I'd seen this thing on a late night infomercial about a year ago. It was an exercise machine that looked like a cross between a bicycle and a rowing machine. You sit on it and while your legs turn some pedals your arms pull the handles towards you. I used it successfully until I moved into the house and had access to a dedicated multigym, at which point I moved the machine down here. Of course, I had to modify it for its use as a slave trainer. First, I welded extra cross members to the frame, to strengthen it and make sure it couldn't collapse. Then I added some mounting points for restraints. Finally I attached some accelerometers and tension gauges so that the computer could monitor its use. She looked stunned. "I said you needed exercise," I said cheerfully. "Please no! We need to talk about Momma...I need to talk." "I'm sorry, but I don't have time. Now do what you're told or I'll find something even more uncomfortable to keep you occupied." She lowered her head and sobbed once, then nodded. I removed the gag trainer and helped her on to the machine. I fastened her right wrist to a small length of chain attached to the handles. I needed to leave one hand free for drinking, so I made sure it wasn't her 'good' one. Finally she spoke. "Why did he let me go if he was going to bring me back?" "He has a reason," I said. "The fact that we can't figure it out doesn't mean it doesn't exist." "But my Momma said--" "She said what she wanted to believe, or what *he* wanted her to believe. Ask yourself this: how could she persuade him to do anything not in his own interest? Can she withdraw sex? Can she go away? Can she even have a fight with him?" "I never thought...I mean, I was just so happy to be leaving." By now I'd fastened the bondage belt to chains coming from the seat so that she couldn't stand up. Then as she sat thinking, I used small chains to secure her feet and ankle cuffs to the pedals. Once she was strapped down I started with the rest. I attached a small box to the back of the bondage belt. This had a number of wires which I connected to the electrodes on her body and to the McGuffins. She sobbed a little. "I'll never get away, ever." "You are away," I said lightly, "and you're never going back." She looked at me, her eyes full of a curious mixture of hope and fear. "But my Momma?" "I have an idea," I said. "But it will require your complete co-operation." "Anything," she said. "You said that before and didn't mean it." "To save my Momma, anything!" she said firmly. "Good girl," I said, smiling. Always praise the slave when she does well. I put a sweat band on her left wrist and showed her the small table with the water containers on it, then made the final connections. I fastened a small hose to the end of the catheter that poked through the pants. This ended in a bucket behind the machine. I got her to pee and confirmed that there were no leaks and that the amber liquid flowed easily into the container. Finally, it was time for the final piece. I showed her the light weight VR helmet before I put it on her so that she wasn't too frightened. I'd modified the basic unit quite a bit to ensure that it couldn't be removed or tampered with, but in essence it is similar in design to the ones Sega sells. The only real technical difference was that it uses a flat CRT rather that an LCD module. After I told her what it was for, she seemed happy for me to strap it on her. The helmet would display a crude VR environment for her to cycle through. The virtual course was divided into sections. If she made the sections on time, the McGuffins would reward her with a little sexual stimulation. Failure meant a shock. At random intervals she would hear my voice giving her some new instructions. Obedience meant reward, and she figured out what happened if she disobeyed. Happy that she was set, I kissed her cheek for luck and started the program. Once she was started, I looked at my watch and cursed. My schedule was slipping. Locking the dungeon door behind me I ran upstairs. First up was the utility room and the pile of dirty clothes from the last week. Rooting around, I finally found the sweats I'd worn during the kidnapping. As I hoped they smelt of old sweat and dirt, with perhaps a hint of Caroline's perfume. There was still a ski mask in the pocket which I'd intended to wear. I thought again of how I rushed out and took her. I must have been insane. I opened one of the closets and got out a huge duffel bag. When I'd been working through the kidnapping I'd toyed with the idea of carrying Caroline out of her apartment block in this. I'd come to the conclusion that it could work but would look so unusual that it was bound to be remembered. So the idea was discarded, but I'd kept the bag. In went the sweats, some sneakers and a couple of rolls of duct tape. Charging through into the kitchen I added some Saran wrap and a small pile of Ace bandages. Last stop was my office. I found the DAT recorder straight away but couldn't find a blank tape. Searching my desk drawers, I finally found one and as an unexpected bonus a bottle of a cheap and very nasty aftershave someone had bought me one Christmas. Everything went into the bag. As a final thought I threw in my Powerbook and portable printer. As I didn't have time to change out of my master's outfit of shirt and leather pants, I pulled on my favorite leather flying jacket so that at least my clothes matched. Still cursing the clock, I charged to the back of the house and waited by the back door. By now Caroline would be part through the first section. Soon she would be getting her first taste of the obedience test. Not being a cruel man I'd decided to help her out. Every time my voice gave her an order the helmet would briefly flash the word "OBEY," driving the command subliminally into her subconscious mind. She was so suggestible, I was certain she would make a good subject. By the time I came home her mind would be a little closer to being mine. I was still thrilling at the thought of it when the helicopter landed on the back lawn. I grabbed the duffel bag, locked the door and ran out. I climbed in. "Mr. Cody?" the pilot asked. The guy looked like the chopper pilots you see on TV -- short haircut, aviator shades, baseball cap and a huge pair of headphones. "Yes," I bawled, trying desperately to be heard. He offered his hand. "Bob Wilson -- I'll be your pilot today." He showed me how to fasten the harness. I put on the headset he gave me and was relieved when the wall of sound subsided. "I was told you want to go to Boston?" "Yes, a panic business meeting. I need to get there ASAP." "Understood, Mr. Cody. ASAP is the only way we work around here." Bob seemed a pleasant enough fellow. I got the feeling that perhaps some of his customers weren't that comfortable flying, as he had this patter worked out where he gave a running commentary on everything he was doing. He kept cracking jokes and making light of the fact that we were shooting cross country at better than 100 miles an hour. For the most part I let him talk while mentally building up checklists of things to do. I was so distracted that it seemed like no time before we were setting down at a small private airfield just outside Boston. Thanking Bob and giving him a generous tip for his speed, I started across the grass towards the control tower. Nearby a pretty brown haired girl stood near the driver's side door of a Chevy mini van. Her blue blazer and sensible gray skirt identified her as a representative of a well known rental agency. I was looking at the grass for most of the time in order to shield my head from the wash of the departing helicopter, and when I looked up I got a shock. For an instant I thought the girl was gagged; it seemed that a large red ball had been pulled between her teeth. As I got closer I realized it was just imagination. She smiled and stepped forward, offering her hand. "Mr. Cody. I must say you know how to make a spectacular entrance." I looked her over. She was perhaps three or four years older than Caroline, with large, almost luminous gray eyes. She wore her hair in a business-like shoulder- length bob. Her makeup was conservative, except perhaps for her lipstick which was a shocking red. Suddenly I realized what had just happened -- the color was the same as the one Caroline used, one I'd deliberately picked to match the red of her ballgag. Mental association, or something more? In that split second I checked out her ring hand, the state of her shoes and her name badge. Her name was Penny Jackson, she was single and quite junior in the company, which was probably why she was delivering cars to the middle of nowhere. "I'm afraid I'm in a bit of a hurry, Penny," I said warmly. "Do you have the agreement?" "Oh yes, sorry." She smiled again and I watched as her pupils dilated slightly. Penny was young and easily impressed. I was probably the closest thing to a celebrity she'd ever met, and if I was interested I was sure I could score quite easily. We went though the formalities with little difficulty, since membership has its privileges and a platinum card speaks very loudly. I offered her a lift back to Boston but with some regret she pointed to another car parked nearby with a bored looking young man behind the wheel. Still, I took her business card so that I could arrange pickup later, then I threw the duffel bag in the back and headed for town. On the way in I daydreamed; pretty little Penny bound, gagged and struggling. Penny and Caroline, girl to girl. Of course any thoughts I had of adding her to my little harem were just a fantasy, although the thought of a brunette to round out my collection was quite tempting. With some difficulty I refocused on Maggie. It was now over an hour since I received the call, but my two hour estimate had been very optimistic, something Maggie would have realized. Bottom line was that I could now reach her apartment long before she was expecting me. Now was time to finalize the plan. The core idea of the plan was fairly simple: Maggie is bound and helpless in her apartment waiting the two or more hours it will take for Richard Cody, her trusted friend, to speed to her rescue from the backwoods of darkest New England. However, before he gets there she has an unexpected visitor in the form of a sneak thief who happens upon her as he's turning over her apartment. There she is, helpless and in a sexually provocative position with a complete stranger. Well, not exactly a complete stranger. The reason I'd rushed to Boston was so that I could play the intruder. Maggie was fairly smart and being a practical joker herself she was likely to smell a setup. I was hoping that the 'stranger' arriving so early -- long before I could be expected to show up -- would sell it to her. Unfortunately I was likely to blow the plan the moment I opened my mouth. I'm fairly good at accents but the basic tone of my voice remains the same. I experimented with different voices as I fought the traffic but it was still no good. Then I had a revelation. If I were a foreigner, then I might stand a better chance of pulling it off. Broken English with a scattering of foreign words and expressions might just disguise my voice enough. In addition, it gave me a good excuse not to say that much in English. I speak six languages, four fairly fluently. The obvious choice was Spanish but I knew that Maggie spoke it too and could probably spot my accent. Russian would be good, especially with all the news coverage the Russian Mafia have been getting lately. The problem was, Maggie knew I spoke Russian. In the end I settled on French; internally it made more sense anyway, what with Quebec only a few miles to the north. I would be a French Canadian burglar, down in Boston to pull a few jobs before heading north again. I practiced the accent, trying hard to lower my voice a little. In my mind he started to form, taking on more and more substance as I worked out a back story. I stopped and wondered if she deserved it, but the twenty-first birthday thing had only been one of the awful practical jokes she'd pulled on me and payback was long overdue. I checked into a mid-priced motel about three blocks from Maggie's apartment building. I had a reservation so things went relatively smoothly. I shot the guy on the desk a line about needing a quiet place to work in and a large tip got me a room in the next block with no neighbors. With time now a factor, I went inside and got set up. For the most part this involved getting changed into the sweats I'd brought, slapping on some of the aftershave and recording a couple of things on the DAT machine. I placed a call to Maggie's department at the university and told them that she had a bad headache and wouldn't be in today. They accepted it easily, since her job was pure research with few teaching commitments. I unloaded the things I wouldn't need from the duffel bag and set off. I had a copy of Maggie's key, an arrangement that dated from the time I lived in Boston. I don't know if she even remembered giving it to me but it would make things a lot easier. Like the night before, I entered the basement car park and found Maggie's space. Then I hoisted the duffel bag over my shoulder and headed to the lift. The trip up was uneventful and this time there were no interruptions apart from the hideous muzac they seemed to play during the day. I reached Maggie's floor without disturbance and was relieved to find that the corridor outside her apartment was empty. Pausing outside, I deliberately fumbled with the lock for a few minutes. I can actually pick locks, a skill I learned at MIT, but it took some time and though I wanted to give the impression I was breaking in, I didn't want to chance her neighbors calling the cops. Finally, I inserted the key in the lock and waited. I had the ski mask in my pocket and I could have put it on, but again knowing my luck someone would come past right then. I took a deep breath. If Maggie had decided to tie herself in the living room then all this trouble and expense would be for nothing. Gently, I opened the door and went inside. The room was dark as the drapes were still drawn, and it took a few minutes for my eyes to adjust. By the dim light of the one working lamp, I could see that the room was pretty much as I'd left it last night. Maggie wasn't there. Taking the DAT machine from my pocket I quickly rewound the tape, deliberately making noise as I circled the room. When the tape was rewound and I was sure that any occupant of the apartment had heard me, I pushed play and set the machine on the coffee table. A shaft of light shone from beneath the bedroom door. As I drew closer, I could hear faint movement inside. I took another deep breath, pulled on the ski mask and quietly opened the door. Maggie lay on the bed. When she heard the door open, she made a supreme effort to sit up. She was dressed in the hooker outfit I'd bought her, all shiny leather and PVC. As she managed to face the door , I realized that the ski mask was unnecessary. Her eyes were covered with the light padded blindfold I'd bought. Her mouth chewed on the ballgag, and she groaned and thrust her crotch up into the air, making suggestive little mewing noises. Then I realized that she had no way to measure time. To her it must have seemed like several hours since the call. She obviously thought it was me and her waving hips were a clear invitation. As I got closer I admired her handiwork. She had used a good part of the cord I'd bought to tie her ankles to a broom handle as an improvised spreader bar. Her wrists were pinioned behind her back, I assumed with the handcuffs. A small length of yellow cable came through a gap at her zipped crotch and ended in a small battery box. "Hummmph," she moaned. "Merde!" I knew immediately that I'd hit the right tone perfectly. Maggie stiffened. As I'd intended, she was surprised by the response. The first part of convincing her I was a stranger had begun. I muttered a few things in French about who had done this and what was going on. Getting no indication of comprehension, I felt it was safe to come closer. Hearing me, she started struggling in earnest but it was obvious she wasn't going anywhere. For my imaginary stranger, the French Canadian burglar, there was only one question: "Etes-vous seule?" I demanded. "Hummphh...UM Iee Eeee." "Pardon?" "Hummm." "Oui...le baillon! Errr, Mademoiselle...you must promise. No noise, oui?" She paused, then nodded so I reached behind her head and released the strap. As with Caroline, I left it dangling around her neck. "Water," she croaked, so I poured a glass from the jug by her bedside and held it to her lips. She drank greedily for a few seconds, then started sniffing near my sleeve. The smell of sweat and cheap cologne hung in the air. This was not a Cody smell, and yet another part of my deception was established. I put the glass down and we waited a while, the room quiet but for the insistent sound of the off hook telephone. Reaching down, I picked it up from the floor and replaced the handset, then noisily placed the phone back on the bedside table. She jumped and 'looked' around nervously. I felt she was starting to buy my act. "Please can you untie me?" she asked, twisting her shoulders around so as to get her bound hands as close to me as possible. I could see I'd been right about the handcuffs. I could also see what a struggle she'd had. The once glossy surface of the PVC gloves near her wrist had been worn away. In fact, the cheap gloves had been what had kept her prisoner; they had slipped during her struggles but only enough to stop any chance of her working her wrists free of the cuffs. "C'est...it is impossible, handcuffs. No key, eh?" "The key is on the bed somewhere." I looked and after a while I found it under a pillow. She seemed to sense this because she thrust her arms towards me. I reached down to the cuffs -- and closed them an extra click. "What are you doing?" Her voice had that edge of panic that I liked. "My job," I said off handedly and reached for the gag. "No please...who are you?" At last, the question I'd been waiting for. "How you say -- le cambrioleur?" "I'm sorry?" "Le burglar...? My gloved hand covered her mouth just as she was about to scream. A faint shriek came out and she struggled wildly but her position was hopeless. I grabbed the ball and started to bring it up to her mouth; a gagged Maggie could ask no questions and so reduce the amount of talking *I* needed to do. Sensing I was about to silence her again she started struggling and shaking her head. For my own reasons I would need to work on the gag soon anyway so I decided that "le cambrioleur" should have a change of heart. "Mademoiselle, please." She stopped struggling. "I will leave...le baillon?" I tugged at the strap until she realized what I was trying to say. "The gag?" "Oui. No baillon if you quiet until I am gone." She understood and nodded. I removed the gag from around her neck and pocketed it. Then I started to noisily search the rooms. Maggie didn't have much, almost all her unspectacular pay went towards the future purchase of her dream house. In addition she was a bit of an intellectual elitist and shunned such items as a TV. Consequently, her apartment had little a burglar would find interesting. But I stayed in character and searched the place methodically while she struggled on the bed. Two things I did check was the availability of Saran Wrap in the kitchen and that she had bandages in the bathroom cabinet. I had brought my own, but I didn't want to give the game away by using something unusual that she knew wasn't in the house. "Please," she called. "I need the toilet?" That was good because I needed her to go anyway, so with much gallic swearing I undid the spreader. I found the rope looser than I expected -- she was probably only minutes away from freeing her legs. I gathered up the loose cord and tied it to the leather collar she wore and using it as a leash guided her to the bathroom. I reached between her legs and opened the zipper and was rewarded by the smell of hot pussy. Removing the vibrator, I noted the dampness of her crotch. She turned a bright beet root color from the embarrassment but the sight of her erect nipples as they pushed through the peepholes in the leather cups gave the game away. The little slut was getting turned on! Like Caroline, she seemed to get quite uncomfortable having me watch while she peed, but in the end she had to put up with it. Then I dried her and led her back to the bedroom. "Please, you should leave now, my boyfriend will be back soon." I grunted. "This boyfriend, he tie you?" She turned red again. "Yes, it's a sex game, you know? He only stepped out for some cigarettes. He'll be back soon." I let the sentence hang in the air a while as if I was considering it. "Non, you lie. If boyfriend tie, *he* would have key." "But--" I placed a gloved finger to her lips. "Shussh!" I took her head and forced her to nod and then shake. "Just this, eh?" She nodded. "Magnetoscope, stereo?" She shook her head. "You have jewels? A safe?" She shook her head again. I went through her purse checking credit and cash cards. "The cards, tell me the numbers!" She stiffened. I knew one of these was the dream house account and contained almost all the money she had made in her life. I had the feeling that she wouldn't give me that without a fight. Pursing her lip, she shook her head. "C'est la vie!" I said and stuffed the gag back into her mouth. She complained, but there was little she could do. She fought a little when I removed the thigh high boots and tied her ankles to the bed, but the blindfold kept her from seeing just what I had planned. I went to the linen closet and removed what I needed. At the first touch of the feather duster against the bare soles of her feet she gave a strange little gurgling sound. Soon the room was full of muffled laughter. She thrashed around as much as the bonds allowed and the first tears started to creep from behind the blindfold. I was glad she'd used the toilet because by now I was sure she'd lost all body control. I'd left the zipper open and gradually started moving the duster up her legs, against her thigh, her pussy lips. She went crazy in a strange flux between being tickled and turned on. Her gagged voice begged for mercy but I was relentless, working her over until all the fight had been laughed out of her. The duster danced over her body, driving her more and more wild, pushing her way beyond any reasonable limit. Then when she was almost completely out of her mind I stopped. "Enough?" I asked. She nodded weakly. I removed the gag and asked for the PIN numbers and the amounts in the accounts. She seemed drained and strangely submissive. I noted the information for later. The figures for her main account were not that impressive; she always transferring any excess to the house account. However the dream house account was different. I couldn't tell if she was lying but the amount seemed about right. I made a point of whistling when she gave the balance. While she was weak I asked other questions like where she worked and how much she could take out of the accounts in a week. I think she was too far gone to see where this was heading and gave fairly truthful answers. While this was going on I was wrapping an Ace bandage around the ball of the gag making it larger. In the back of my mind a counter that had started when I entered her apartment was counting down. Then the knock came. We both jumped, but in my case it was to clamp a hand over her mouth. Then from outside the room my voice said, "Maggie? Are you all right?" She stiffened, then started to struggle in earnest, trying to throw me off. I clamped my hand harder over her mouth as she continued to scream. Then the voice continued. "Maggie, listen, I need to find the super and get him to open the door. I'll try and keep him out of there but there may be nothing I can do -- is that all right?" She screamed into my hand. "Look, I can't hear you. I'll be fifteen, twenty minutes tops, okay?" That had sold it to her. I think half of her suspected it was a joke and that I was the Frenchman. To some extent she had played along. Now, thanks to the recording on the DAT player, she had heard me outside and suddenly in her mind she was alone and helpless with a stranger. She struggled as I forced the enlarged gag into her mouth and pulled the strap tight. The bandage covered ball was a real mouth filler and her screams were reduced to almost nothing. She must have realized this because she stopped screaming at once and just lay there trembling. I went to the duffel bag and got out more bandages, the duct tape and the plastic wrap. Looking at the small pile of discarded cord I suddenly had an idea. Quickly I fashioned a device I'd learned about in books. When I tied the cord around her waist she didn't seem to notice, being more concerned with chewing the ball. Even when I pulled one end between her legs she didn't understand. Still, she would find out more in a second. Taking the roll of Saran Wrap I went to work. She struggled as I wound the Saran Wrap around her legs. As I wanted to be able to bend her knees I carefully left them unwrapped but continued with her thighs. Then I rolled her over and did the same with her arms pulling her shoulders back and thrusting her breasts out in the process. Her struggles became weaker as she had less and less to work with. When I went over the Saran Wrap with the duct tape she became even more helpless. As I used the tape to secure the tops of her arms to her torso, the fight left her. She just lay there as I hog-tied her, though she showed some interest when I took the rope between her legs and secured part of it to her wrists. As a crotch rope this was a masterpiece. Two parallel cords held apart by a massive knot ran either side of the pussy holding the lips open and exposing the clit. A third rope passed between them, deliberately passing tightly through the pussy and bringing several rough knots in contact with her nub. It was this rope that was bound to her wrists and it took her no time to realize that she could vary the pressure and move the knots over her sensitive bud with the little hand movement she had left. However, she also found out how frustrating it was; while almost any movement brought some stimulation, getting enough to make a real difference would take a lot of effort. Still, her 'struggles' again became quite animated and the smell of hot pussy started to fill the room. We both knew that a line had been crossed. This was the first overtly sexual thing the "Burglar" had done. Before now he had been content to keep her quiet while her searched for valuables, now he was making it clear that he had found something of value between her legs. Maggie shivered and moaned, though it was hard to tell if this were fear or anticipation. I stroked her cheek. "You like, Mademoiselle?" She shook her head defiantly. I looked down and saw her hard little nipples where they poked through the peepholes. They told another story. I brushed a hand over her exposed clit, felt the moisture and heard a muffled gasp. "You little flower says different, eh?" She turned away. As she wasn't saying much I didn't feel too bad strengthening the gag a little. As I'd done with Caroline I covered the lower part of Maggie's face entirely with duct tape, criss crossing her mouth and sealing the ball in place. Then I wound a tight bandage over the top, squeezing her cheeks in and reducing her moans to whispers. The tweaked nipple test showed that she was effectively muzzled and the partial mummification had robbed her of her ability to move. Opening the duffel bag up on the bed next to her, I rolled her inside. Then she suddenly realized what I had in mind. She screamed but I could barely hear it even this close and her struggles only succeeded in rubbing that frustrating crotch strap against her exposed pussy. Even as I was pulling the bag closed around her I could tell that she was more intent with getting off than getting free. I put the slut boots into the bag, together with some of her more slutty street clothes and a little makeup. After all, Maggie would need something to wear later . Besides, it helped make the bag appear less body shaped. "Mademoiselle, ecoute! We will leave now before your friend returns. You will be my guest for a few days only." I took the knife I'd used to cut the saran wrap and teased her neck with the point. She stiffened and the cold steel touched her skin. I moved the knife away. "Trouble me and I have a knife, comprendre?" She nodded and I zipped the bag closed. She was quite heavy and I was glad I didn't have to carry her any distance. Throwing her over my shoulder I went out into the living room. Quickly pocketing the DAT I went over to the door and opened it a crack. The corridor outside her apartment seemed quiet enough. I was so caught up with the thrill of it all that for a moment I forgot I was wearing the ski mask. I snatched it off and stuck it in my pocket then, trying to move a loosely as possible so as to disguise the weight of the bag, I ambled towards the elevator. It seemed to take forever to arrive and even before the doors opened I could hear the voices inside. Maggie had heard them too because I could hear the gagged moans close to my ear. It was a 50/50 chance which way they would turn on leaving the elevator but there were fewer apartments to the left so I quickly darted to that side and waited, my heart in my throat as Maggie continued to squirm behind me. The door opened, and they turned right, two guys dressed like they were back from jogging. Before the doors closed I'd dashed inside. I doubt they even knew I was there. I held my breath as we neared the lobby. Some elevators automatically stop and open at the lobby even if they haven't been called. The last thing I wanted was for the doors to open and there be a dozen people waiting, especially as right now I had the biggest hard-on in my life. Fortunately, that didn't happen and the elevator continued to the basement car park. Maggie was struggling as much as she could and trying desperately to scream, but her cries were ineffective. I doubt they could have been heard more that a few feet away. Still, her weak struggles did shift some of her weight and made her difficult to hold. I staggered over to the mini van and used the famous self-opening side door to get the struggling bundle into the back seat. I strapped her down with a couple of lap belts, then pushed the seat as far forward as I could. Climbing inside I moved the driver's seat hard back, trapping Maggie in a small padded box formed from the seats. The van had tinted windows so no one could see in through the sides, and arrangement of the seats hid her from oncoming traffic. I was careful in positioning the bag; when opened, it would be easy to see her face, and tits and cunt were strategically close to the gap between the front seats for easy access. In fact, when we were out of the garage I felt comfortable enough to open the bag and look at my captive. I was relieved to see she was breathing normally, and though most of her face was covered the little moans she made told me of her appreciation of the crotch strap. Though I had a room a few blocks away I decided to give Maggie an adventure and plotted a route that would take me out of the city via the Tobin Bridge. After the bridge, Highway 1 heads north and I suppose it could be an eccentric way of heading for the Canadian border. The important thing was that it had toll booths and Maggie would hear the sound and know we were leaving town. I think there was construction because there were jams on the approach to the bridge and I had to keep stopping. Still, I had Maggie's compliant if not necessarily willing body to play with as I waited. I stroked and teased listening to the little sounds that she was making and smelling the perfume of her hot pussy. For a few blocks I played tag with a little red open top with an out of state license plate reading MISS T. I don't know if this was a pun on Misty or if she was some beauty pageant winner but the car's owner was a real looker and knew it. She was in her early twenties, with fluffy blonde hair, dark glasses and an attitude that needed serious adjustment. I accidentally blocked her way at an intersection and at the next block she deliberately cut me up. Five minutes later we were parked side by side and she looked over at me like I was dirt. I smiled and she tossed her head back again making it clear she didn't want my company. I had my hand down between the front seats playing with Maggie's nipples and listening to her muffled protests. My hand drifted down and played with the crotch strap, Maggie moaned some more, but despite the window being open Miss T heard nothing. She continued to pretend to ignore me while I thrilled with the knowledge that she would never know I had a helpless girl bound and gagged on my back seat. At the lights she squealed away, gaining perhaps a car length on me for her trouble. I smiled, thinking just how easily it could be Maggie in the little sports car and Miss T on my back seat. Finally we reached the bridge. The tolls are automated so there was little chance of detection, and soon I was the other side of the river. I did a large circle using Highway 28, imagining Maggie's despair and desperation mounting with every mile. I zipped up the duffel bag and stopped at a gas station to get some chocolate. The place was quiet but there were enough people around for Maggie to hear and try to contact. Needless to say, no one noticed anything wrong. I headed back towards Boston with the biggest hard-on in history, and a helpless captive ready to satisfy it. The traffic was better on the way back in and in no time I was at the motel. I zipped up Maggie's bag in case a passerby looked through the driver's window, and opened the door to the room. I spent a moment drawing the drapes against inquisitive eyes then brought Maggie inside. She was in quite a state. Her body was covered in sweat, hair plastered down to her skull. Her erect nipples were poking through the peepholes in the corselet and seemed a little red. I could only assume that she had been using the rough fabric of the bag to maximum effect. Needless to say her clit was engorged. I had almost expected friction burns but apparently there was more than enough lubrication. As I eased her out of the bag, she started floundering about like a fish out of water. For a moment I thought that she was struggling to escape but then I realized the truth, she was trying for an orgasm. I sat and watched the valiant struggle. She came close on a number of occasions but finally she fell back, exhausted and frustrated. I smiled, thinking how strange it was that reality so closely followed art. I had got the design of the crotch strap from a trashy bondage novel about a white slaver. After capture he fits one to all of his 'recruits' in order to prevent escape. The idea was that any attempt to struggle causes sexual stimulation which distracts the victim, causing them to fail to get free. Though Maggie could not possibly get free the strap was having a similar effect. She would struggle and build up her level of excitement, but only being able to nose breathe she was unable to get off before oxygen debt forced her to stop. She panted and shivered. Ready if not exactly willing, she waited for her kidnapper to take her. I smiled. She would have to wait a little longer. Using the knife I cut her legs free. Instead of the kicking I'd expected, she pushed down, thrusting her shaved crotch upwards. The little slut was begging for it, but I would not oblige just yet. I improvised a modified hogtie using tape and cord. First I taped both ankles together with each foot against the opposite calf. This forced her legs open into a rigid triangle with knees horizontal and out of the way. It left her pussy exposed and gave her no way to protect it. Then I bound the ankles to the wrists, making her body rigid and reducing her movement to virtually nothing. She moaned and struggled but could do nothing more. Satisfied that she was under control, I removed the gag. As expected she wanted water first so I placed the glass to her lips and let her drink just enough to take the edge off her thirst. Then I turned her so that her head was over the side of the bed and undid my fly. She knew what was coming and lay quietly while I explained the penalty for biting. As it turned out I needn't have worried. The gag had strained her jaw muscles to the point where I doubt she could bite anyway. Needless to say, it wasn't the worlds greatest blow job. I did consider punishing her for bad technique but there seemed little point since she was physically unable to do better. Finally I came, though it was more through my efforts than hers. I forced her to swallow, then moved her into the center of the bed. I spent a few minutes stripping the sodden bandage off the ball gag while she worked on putting her jaw in order. We both finished about the same time, and I pushed the ball against her lips. "Please no," she begged. "Oui," I said. "I must go to le Banque." "Bank? Please no! That's all I have!" Her voice was panicked. "That is all right, mademoiselle, it is all I need!" "Please," she said thrusting her chest outwards. "I have other things I could offer..." I laughed, a gravelly, hearty sound that surprised even me. "Do not worry, mademoiselle, I will taste those fruits on my return." She struggled but the result was a foregone conclusion. I tightened the gag strap and left her alone in the dim motel room. I didn't go far, just out to the car to use my mobile phone. First, I called my accountant who I hoped could help with the problem of Caroline's mother. We talked hypothetically about a couple of ideas I'd had and he confirmed what I needed to know. Now I knew that my plan stood a chance, I called around and talked to a number of other friends to arrange meetings. Finally I called a fine Deli I knew and ordered the makings for dinner. It was then I made the mistake. I'd been eating a bar of the chocolate while I made the calls and finished up quite thirsty. As it was too early to arrive back at the room, I decided to go in search of the Coke machine that motels always have. The first machine I found was broken so I went further afield... As I walked back towards my block with my 3 cans of coke and some ice, a movement caught my eye. She was young, very young -- sixteen, maybe seventeen at most, dressed in the brown uniform of a maid. In her arms she carried a huge pile of towels almost as tall as she was, in her hand was a key and she was heading for my room. She ignored my shouts and as she got closer to my door I realized I had no option. Bursting into a sprint I closed on her. I was lucky -- fumbling with the towels, she dropped the key. But for that, she would have been in the room long before I reached her. As it was, I made it just as she opened the door. Perhaps I should have been an actor -- despite the danger, I stayed in character. "Mademoiselle, what are you doing?" I demanded, pointing to the 'do not disturb' sign I'd hung on the door. I was acutely aware that Maggie was just feet away and could probably be heard easily with the door open. The girl looked at the sign, and for the first time I noticed her olive skin and those dark brown eyes. "Perdon," she said. "No hablo ingles!" A moan emerged through the open doorway and the little Spanish girl moved forward curiously. Quickly and as gently as I could, I reached forward and closed the door. I could still hear faint sounds from inside, but the gag was good enough to prevent Maggie from drawing too much attention. I knew she could probably hear us clearly and I knew she could speak Spanish so in the worse accent I could manage I asked, "Habla usted frances?" "Oui," she said with a smile. Immediately there was a bond between us. We were both foreigners now. "Tres bien!" I smiled. "Mademoiselle. Je suis fatigue. Je ne voudrais pas ma chambre a ete faite." I tapped the 'do not disturb' sign for good measure. She blushed. "Excusez-moi Monsieur." Then she hurried away. Relieved, I opened the door. A Spanish girl who spoke French but no English? I wished I'd had the time to know more. Of course, a real desperado would probably have pushed her inside and tied her up as well. Still, I'd dealt with it in a way consistent with my character, and I was sure Maggie was none the wiser. Putting down the supplies I removed the gag. "You lie!" I accused. "The number was no good!" "Please no. I told you the truth." "The card, it has gone." "The machine ate my card?" Her voice was a strange mixture of panic and relief. "Oui! I have lost one day. I have nothing! Comprendez- vous?" "Yes, but what can I do?" I waited a while as if he was weighing up his options. Then I reached over and pushed the gag firmly into her mouth. Fumbling for the phone, I made a number of calls to my house and talked to the answering machine. For Maggie's benefit, I made out that I was talking to someone at the other end. The first ten calls were entirely in French and after the first Maggie gave up trying to alert the person at the other end of the phone and waited patiently. Then I sprang the eleventh on her. "Bonjour, John. Comment ca va? Bien. Listen I have something special. Non, a woman. Oui la prostitute... how you say, a hooker?" Maggie raised an muffled objection but I ignored her. "The bitch ripped me off... stole my money... oui... non I caught her. She is my guest...oui. I need to get my money back before I go 'ome to Quebec...exactement! I think the same... oui... anything you like for two hundred dollars. Oui? Tres bien! A tout a l'heure... oui! Au revoire." Maggie moaned and struggled as I made the next four calls in English. Each was approximately the same. I claimed she was a hooker that had stolen money from me and offered to sell her ass for two hundred bucks in order to make my money back. Each call varied a little and I gradually filled in the details, assuring one party that she would be blindfolded or telling another she was an accomplished liar. The setup was obvious -- sometime later tonight Maggie was going to be gang-banged by fifteen guys at two hundred dollars a head. She would be bound and blindfolded, gagged for much of the time but even when she could speak she would be unable to persuade them to stop. I noisily flicked through the pages of a book. "Fifteen men a night? That is three thousand. In a week..." Maggie moaned, in a week she would have fucked over a hundred guys. "Do not worry Mademoiselle, we will 'ave the money soon, non?" Her nipples were hard, her pussy damp. Maggie could only orgasm with a man when forced and soon fifteen guys were going to have their way with her. She'd be fucked, sucked, groped and I'd made it clear that she could be used in anyway those men wanted. I watched the crotch rope as it rubbed against her clit. This gag allowed a little mouth breathing so she got a little closer before she exhausted herself. I made an excuse about needing to go to buy condoms so that my friends wouldn't catch something from her slut cunt. I offered to get her a drink before I left and she nodded. I expected her to beg to be released when I ungagged her. I thought she'd threaten and whine. But instead she surprised me. "For God's sake," she moaned. "Fuck me, Cody!" "Mademoiselle, I am..." "Cut the French crap, Cody, and just fuck me, okay? Do what you like, whip me, degrade me but for God sake let me cum!" I paused while I thought what to do next. My original plan still had about ten more minutes left to run. "Cody, please... fuck my pussy, you bastard. If you want to, then use me like a whore, just be quick..." In the end I gagged her just to end the obscenities. Then, still in character, I mounted her. I told her she would be my whore, that the fifteen guys would use all of her holes, would fuck her beyond exhaustion, would cum all over her body. I told her she would be powerless, bound and gagged, unable to stop them as they took what they wanted, unable to stop them from degrading her and making her lower than the cheapest whore. Then I told her that she'd like it, or at least she'd pretend to because that way they would stop beating her and that would mean she could get some sleep. Before the next fifteen guys arrived... All through this she struggled and screamed and fought and when I finally cut the crotch rope and entered her she was more than ready. The hogtie was a masterpiece, giving her no way to stop my penetration, making her more powerless, less guilty. I still believe she orgasmed fifteen times, once for each imaginary rapist, for each imaginary violation. Even gagged she made more noise than I would have liked and I only hoped the little Spanish girl wasn't in the next room. Finally spent, I collapsed on her and there we stayed 'till I we recovered our strength. Then I removed her gag and blindfold. She blinked and smiled. "Hi, Cody." "Okay. When did you know?" "Know what?" "That it was me?" "I've always known," she said, a little bemused. "But I wore sweats and--" She smiled. "It was very good, Cody. Wonderful, in fact. You were so convincing I almost thought it was real on a couple of occasions. In fact, if you hadn't worn the cologne I gave you last Christmas, I could have panicked and really thought it was real. Very subtle clue by the way -- a masterstroke!" I was suddenly very glad that I hadn't said the aftershave was cheap and nasty. She continued, "Coming early was good, too. In fact you almost caught me out. If you hadn't done that key fumbling thing outside the door, you'd have caught me in the living room. As it was, I didn't really get chance to tie my ankles properly." "Whoa, wait a minute. You mean you only tied yourself up when I arrived?" "Of course. What kind of idiot do you take me for? You don't really think I'd be stupid enough to tie myself up and not be able to get loose." "But the gloves?" "Nice touch, I thought. Well, you kept saying they were cheap and nasty and I agree. I was planning to get better ones so I could afford to sacrifice these." "So this whole thing was a setup?" I demanded. "You weren't really tied up at all?" The silly cunt grinned at me. "Nope. I just woke up with an itch this morning and I knew you were too busy to come if I asked, so- -" "You incredible bitch!" "The one and only." I stared at her. Then it was my turn to grin. "Okay. So I'm a sucker and I bought it. Now you'll have to do something for me." "No, I don't," she pouted. "You got off on it, too, big time. I never realized what a power freak you are. If I didn't lean in the other direction I might even fight this Elizabeth chick for you!" "Flattery will get you nowhere," I said. "And you do owe me - *big time.*" She rolled her eyes. "Fine. So what do you want?" "You, to be my slave for one evening of my choosing. No limits, no veto, nothing. You do what I say, fuck what I say and the only acceptable answer is "yes, master." Understand?" She pouted again. "Why should I agree to this?" "Two reasons," I said. "One, you'll get off on it big time. And two, you say no and I push this gag back into your lying little mouth and leave you here for the maid to find." She thought for a while. "Okay. But only for *one* evening." "Agreed," I said and started to free her. Already my mind was working on the plans to fulfill my deepest fantasy; to have both my slaves helpless and available at the same time.
