Chapter 11

When the cage door closed and Mr. Smith walked off

without even saying 'good night', Alex cried for a

while. Then, mentally shaking herself, she got a grip

and forced herself to stop feeling sorry for herself.

She wondered if those other girls had cried in here

when they were left alone or after they had displeased

Mr. Smith. Silly, of course they had. But she

wouldn't cry over such a silly thing. She would just

have to try harder to please Mr. Smith. She wasn't

sure what had gone wrong tonight, but she would try

hard not to do it again. Whatever it was.

She had some thinking to do, anyway. Those boxes in

the storage room, the ones with the documents. She

hadn't thought anything of them at first, but the names

on the files had haunted her and drawn her to look

through them with more care. Each file had contracts,

releases and other legal papers as well as notarized

Powers of Attorney. She knew what those were. Cathy,

her best friend in high school, and she had worked in

the office of the town clerk. Actually, her friend had

the job and got paid. Alex just shared it with her and

took her place for a couple of months when Cathy had to

leave town for a while to have her baby. That way she

had the job when she came back. Alex was glad to help.

But these were the same kinds of documents they handled

there at the courthouse. Estate stuff. Guardianship

and Wills. As boring as most people think these things

are, she had been fascinated by them, especially after

a big local scandal involving a race horse had been in

all the papers. She had asked a thousand questions to

anyone who would stop by her desk to flirt with her.

At first the lawyers and judges had been amused and

given her short answers, trying to be cute. But she

kept asking and the questions got harder and soon, one

or two of the adults had taken her seriously. They had

spent time with her and she had learned and asked even

more questions. If she hadn't gotten married right

after high school, she had wanted to go on to the

community college and then Law School. But Harold had

changed all that.

Still, she knew what a lot of those papers were. And

in the back of each file were the personal ID cards.

Driver's license, Social Security Cards. Some had

passports and credit cards. Thinking about it, she

wondered why Mr. Smith had them. Didn't the girls need

them anymore? She couldn't think of any reason she

would give up her driver's license. It puzzled her for

a long time and she fell asleep, her first night as a

pet.

She awoke in a cold sweat. She knew why. If she

hadn't been shackled to the floor she probably would

have bolted out the door of the club and never looked

back. But the list of names on the bottom of the shelf

stared at her. The same names in the files. They were

daring her to stay. Challenging her to join them. To

please him, their Master. It was what she wanted.

As the long night passed into morning, she found she

had resolved to play the game to the end. She knew it

could be dangerous. She would probably end up like

them, the other names on the list. But with her

marriage over she had nothing to look forward to from

Harold. In the last few weeks, she had seen too much

to ever just go back to the farm.

She had seen a different side of herself now. She

liked how she felt when she was with Mr. Smith. She

knew she needed it, too, a strong hand that let her be

free, to be herself. She knew she needed to feel like

she had that night again, to be so overcome with

emotions that even a brutal whipping on her pussy by a

maniac would send her into the abyss. Most of all,

Alex knew she needed to be owned by him. To be allowed

to call him 'Master.'

It wasn't just for those selfish reasons, though. Alex

knew that Mr. Smith was probably going to mess with her

head, and selfish reasons weren't going to be strong

enough to keep her on course. But they could. She

could do it for them. For the names on the bottom of

the shelf. And for Petunia.

Alvin came and freed her in the morning. His eyes

searched hers as he worked on her wrists, rubbing them

and then her arms to stimulate the circulation. She

almost said something to him, but his brusque manner

made her hesitate. She liked him but she didn't know

which side he was on. He had been nice to her, but so

had Mr. Smith, for the most part.

Alex started to stand up, but he shook his head and got

her to her hands and knees. He fastened and locked on

her collar and leash and led her to the breakfast area.

Her bowl was ready. On the floor.

She looked up at him and gave him a wry grin. For an

instant, he grinned back, then went deadpan. She

started to reach for the bowl to pick it up but he

slapped her hands away and handcuffed them behind her

back. So that's the way it was going to be. Well, shy

hadn't had a pet pig named Petunia to have pig eating

contests with for nothing!

She ate her breakfast with gusto, her face deep in the

bowl. She belched loudly as she sat back up, her face

a schmeer of eggs, jam and mush. She tried licking as

much as she could, but her tongue wasn't designed for

that.

"Alex! What do you think you are doing?" Mr. Smith

had come in while she was finishing her breakfast.

"Belching, Sir. And trying to clean my face, Sir."

"Don't get smart with me. I don't want to hear

anything like that from you again."

She didn't see Alvin pleading silently to keep quiet.

She probably would have ignored him even if she had.

"Then don't feed me like a pig, Sir. Pigs belch

because they eat from a trough. Have you ever heard a

hog let one loose, Sir? You can--"

"ENOUGH, bitch! You are NOT an animal and you aren't

on your precious farm anymore. I expect you to act

appropriately!" Mr. Smith was out of his chair and

towering over her, his fists and teeth clenched. Alex

had no time to react, he moved so fast. Thundering

over her, he turned without touching her, tossed his

napkin, still tucked in his belt, on the table and

stormed out, grabbing his coffee and a piece of toast

as he left.

Alex grinned stupidly over at Alvin, who stood there

petrified, trembling at Mr. D's anger, his large eyes

two white circles in a mask of black fear. If Mr. D

had struck at her just now, Alvin would not have

stopped him. He couldn't have. Not yet.

He had seen him in just such a rage, about 18 months

ago. The girl had made a mistake, spilled his coffee

or something, then made a small joke. Mr. D had

flipped out. Alvin had left as Mr. D was beating her

with his fists. He couldn't stop him and he couldn't

watch. The girl had been helpless to defend herself,

cuffed, just like Miss Alex. He had never seen the

girl again and Mr. D had never mentioned it.

Alex, watching as Alvin laboriously got his breathing

back under control, slowly grasped that she might have

made a serious misjudgment in sassing back to Mr. Smith

right then. She would have to watch herself. She was

making too many mistakes because she didn't know the

playing field or the players. That would have to

change.

Without a word Alvin spread a damp towel on the floor

for her to wipe her face on. She did so with relish,

refusing to be humiliated by the beastly act. It

wasn't until he had had her crawl into the bathroom on

just her knees that he had said anything to her. She

wasn't sure she had heard correctly, but if she had,

she was lucky Mr. Smith had stormed out instead of

beating her up.

He had made her pee and poop in front of him. With her

arms bound behind her, she couldn't clean herself. The

giant lifted her up, gently, and set her down on a

bidet. While the toilet flushed and the water was

gurgling up cleansing her privates, Alvin had leaned

next to her ear, trying to reach the knobs behind her.

"Please be careful, Miss Alex. He beat his last pet to

death for sassing him, like he was about to hit you

this morning. Watch what you say. To him and to me,

too. He's listening and he's watching us," he had

whispered quickly. At least, that's what she thought

she heard him say. He did seem honestly frightened.

So she went along with him, for now.

Alvin had her crawl to the elevator on her knees and

took her up to the club level. It was the first time

she had been off the apartment level since Mr. Smith

had taken her shopping. That seemed like such a long

time ago.

Just before the doors opened onto the club level, Alvin

let her stand up and uncuffed her. Stepping off the

elevator, Mr. Smith was waiting for them. He was

holding her latex panties and bra. He handed them to

her.

She still felt a little cocky, so she grinned widely at

him as she fitted the thick crotch piece in place,

making sure he saw her contented sigh as the knob

settled against her asshole. She also fitted her

nipples into the iris clamps. Then she presented

herself for his inspection.

Mr. Smith just rolled his eyes at her childish

enthusiasm, but he did give a grudging smile. At even

that small sign of recognition, Alex giggled and hugged

him like a little schoolgirl. She felt his hands

slowly go around her and give her an answering hug, if

grudgingly. She let loose of his firm body reluctantly

as those wonderful hands pried her off of him. On

impulse, she took one of his hands and kissed his palm

as she sank to her knees obediently by his feet.

Her head bowed, she couldn't see Damon's face. Or the

total disbelief on Alvin's. Damon stared down at her

for a long moment, then at his palm. He fought to

control his breath. None of his pets had adored him

like this one, yet he couldn't understand her. She was

out of control, everything was out of order. He needed

to get back into control. This silly little farm girl
never let him get his balance. He tried to convince

himself that what she had just done meant nothing.

Nothing. Everything. Fuck!

He had to get away, get back in control. Of her and of

himself. He couldn't understand why he was upset with

her. All she had done was find a bug that had gone

undetected for years and innocently, ignorant of what

it was, told him about it. All she had done was

everything he had asked of her. And then some. All

she had done was adore him.

He had yelled at her. He had almost struck her in a

rage this morning. Yes, of course that's what pets

were for, but she wasn't ready yet. He hadn't taken

everything from her yet. Besides, the plan wasn't in

place. Not yet, but she was already so much more

totally devoted to him than any of the others had been.

He needed to get away from this bewitching vixen, catch

his breath.

Patting her on the head, then leaning down and kissing

her softly on the cheek he told her he would see her in

a couple of days. Alvin would work with her, but she

was to stay in her old apartment. He would call her

when to come back.

She beamed up at him and wished him a successful trip

and a speedy return. She rubbed her cheek suggestively

over his crotch, letting him know wordlessly that she

would be waiting for him when he returned. He broke

out in a sweat thinking of her soft mouth -- Stop!

She stayed where she was as Damon and Alvin walked to

the front of the club. He gave his club manager his

list of strange instructions, but didn't tell him why.

Let the SOB figure it out on his own. He had no doubt

that if there had been one bug planted, there were

others. It would also be a good test of Alvin's

loyalty. The bug from downstairs had been in his

office. If he had been doing it, he would have

arranged a backup or a replacement by now. He thought

about the painful effect the transmitting devices had

on Alex. He was almost sorry for her. Almost.

The limo was waiting to take him to the airport. He

had been called to give an account of The Dungeon's P&L

statement to the Board. His expenditures had been a

bit higher than normal this last quarter. So had his

profits, but to this Board that was never a

justification to spend more than necessary. He tried

not to think about Harold's and Marcy's accumulating

expenses that were already fucking up this quarter. If

that insurance money didn't come in within the next 90

days or so, he was going to have to hide those costs in

the operating expenses, and he hated to do that. It

screwed up the averages.

He wasn't going to tell the Board about the insurance

scam until the money was in his hands. It was safer

that way. Better for them to be surprised and pleased

when it came in, than disappointed and pissed if it

didn't. Not that it wasn't a sure thing. He didn't

deal with anything else.

Still, he wasn't worried about the meeting tomorrow.

He ran the top club in the syndicate and he had for

years. He had earned a little latitude. He wondered

how he was going to get them to spring for the added

security measures he was going to install. He was now

convinced they were necessary, but how could he explain

his sudden about-face without admitting the security of

his own club had been breached. Then again, the

bastards probably already knew.

He'd suspected for a long time that Alvin was reporting

to them. He hadn't had proof that anyone was bugging

him until last night, and it was actually a sign of

their respect for him that they spied on him. Either

that, or it was a competing club wanting to steal his

secrets. Thank God his telephone line was scrambled

and secure. Regardless, they'd let him squirm a

little, but he'd get the money for the security

measures.

***

"Shit, Miss Alex, what's wrong with you?" boomed the

deep voice above her.

They had been walking around the bar for three hours,

just like Mr. D had told him to. Taking a break they

were sitting silent at the bar, sipping Cokes, when he

had said something and she had collapsed, flopping

around on the floor. Alvin was now crouched over the

thrashing figure, concern in his voice and his posture.

He just needed to know which way to strike out and he

would try to save her from her torment.

"Quiet. Please," she whispered.

"No, it's OK, here. He can't hear us here," he said in

normal voice.

Alex continued to thrash around and finally managed to

put her finger over his lips. He seemed to understand

she needed silence and slowly she was able to get

herself under control. She crawled away from the bar

area until she was a good twenty feet away. This

little bugger was even stronger than the one

downstairs.

Alex stripped off the latex panties to Alvin's amused

gaze. She stuck her tongue out at him. It wasn't as

if he hadn't seen it all before. He'd just have to

deal with it. The pain on her inflamed and unfulfilled

cunt was just too intense to keep them on. She would

leave the bra on and grit her teeth while they found

this new transmitter.

Walking back to Alvin bare-assed she giggled at his

expression. Maybe she ought to let him wear the

panties and see how he reacted when she shouted in the

transmitter. That made her giggle louder and she

detected the first stinging pains on her breasts that

indicated the chip was active.

Using the same technique she had worked out yesterday

in the storeroom, she sang a nonsensical nursery rhyme

as she quartered the bar, triangulating the source of

the stimulus. What she did was mark the floor with a

match torn from a matchbook, laid down by her toes

where she first felt the tingles. Then she would move

away and try from a different approach. It was simple,

once you figured it out.

Alvin sat silent, watching her with interest. He

didn't know what she was doing, but he recognized a

triangulation search pattern when he saw one. After

watching her mark three spots, he had already figured

out where the point of focus was. Miss Alex marked two

more spots on the floor. She was either new at this or

very careful.

Alex reached for a glass from the bar and carefully

placed it in the estimated center of the five points

she had marked. Her chest throbbed with pain, but she

fought through it. She looked puzzled. There was

nothing there where something was supposed to be.

Underneath the bar was just empty space, not even the

big bucket of ice was there now. She ran her hand over

the bottom of the solid wood bar. It was smooth and

natural. She looked at Alvin.

An enlightened smile flashed across her face as she

continued to look up, past his face, and up the hanging

shelf above the bar. There were recessed lamps in the

bottom, one directly above the glass. With as squeal

of triumph she hopped up on the bar and pulled the

fixture loose from the hole it was set into. Grinning

proudly, she plucked the tiny transmitter from where it

was taped and laid it on the bar. She replaced the

fixture and looked expectantly at Alvin.

She didn't know what to expect from him, but horror

wouldn't have been high on the list. He just sat

there, staring at the little silicon chip. Thankfully,

he was silent.

Making a snap decision, Alvin reached past her and

grabbed one of the bar aprons. He quickly bundled it

around Miss Alex, covering her nakedness, though she

was still showing a lot of leg and ass. He headed for

the door of the club and hustled her outside and down

to a small neighborhood diner a block further down past

the club. She hadn't even known it was there.

Alvin was silent, thinking furiously. He was trying to

recall all of the conversations he had had within fifty

feet of that light fixture. He had swept the place

himself several times and had never found that bug. It

was one of the few places inside the club he had

thought Mr. D couldn't hear. The bug wasn't the latest

technology, so he had to assume that it had been there

for a long time. It would be too easy to make the

mistake that someone had bought it cheap and recently.

The people he dealt with didn't buy cheap. Neither did

he.

Then, the more he thought about it, the more he guessed

Mr. D didn't know about the bug, either. Maybe, just

maybe this would save his neck. If Mr. D thought there

was a rogue third party or even the Feds, and he could

convince him by showing him everything, just maybe he

could get out of this alive. He eyed the girl across

the table from him. He had a sudden hunch.

"Miss Alex, I'm sorry about grabbing you so hard."

"That's OK. What's for lunch? I'm starved!"

She grinned up at him. Being an interracial couple,

and her practically naked besides, they were causing

quite a stir in the little diner. She didn't think he

even noticed the stares of the blue collar men
surrounding them.

"Huh? Oh." He turned to the man behind the counter.

"Hey, Louie! Two specials and two strawberry shakes,"

he called out.

"Comin' up," came the answer.

Being friends with Louie was apparently the key here,

as the lunch crowd grinned knowingly and turned back to

their sports pages and lotto picks, leaving the new

pair alone.

"Miss Alex," he started.

"What's the special, Alvin?"

He glared at her. "How the Hell should I know? I've

never been in here before."

"Well, then how do you know Louie?"

Rolling his eyes, he pointed at a spot above his heart

and waggled his finger back and forth. Looking as the

man behind the counter and squinting, she could just

make out his nametag, which proclaimed him "Louie."

"Oh."

"May I talk now?"

"Are you going to ask me what happened yesterday and

last night with Mr. Smith and me?"

"Should I? I'd hate to pry into anything too

personal."

"Yes." She ignored his sarcasm.

He growled at her in exasperation and she giggled.

"Miss Alex, what happened last night? Please tell me

the whole story. I promise not to interrupt." He gave

her a sweeping gesture, as if she now held the floor.

He ended by cupping his chin in his hand, the picture
of rapt attention.

She stuck her tongue out at him for being a spoilsport.

She was having fun teasing him. Then, in a

surprisingly concise and serious manner, she summarized

the events of the previous day, only leaving out the

part about the names and the documents in the box. He

listened intently, keeping his promise not to break in

with questions. When she was done, he just stared at

her.

She realized they were both in the same predicament.

Could they trust the other? She hadn't really told him

anything he wouldn't have figured out eventually. But

she didn't know which side he was on either. He was

probably wondering what the Hell she was up to, as

well. Even she wasn't sure of that herself half the

time.

They were still eyeing each other speculatively when

Louie dropped the huge plates with the specials in

front of them. It turned out the special was the most

expensive item on the menu and at full price. It was a

private joke among the regulars. Regardless of the

practical joke, the food was not laughing matter. The

thick steaks were tender and cooked to perfection. The

piles of hash browns and heaps of tender buttered corn

were also tasty. They attacked the plates of food with

gusto. He finished off what she couldn't eat, spearing

her meat from her plate without asking. In

retaliation, she stole the rest of his double-thick

shake just as he was reaching for it. He paid, and

they left.

Now knowing what to look for, they searched the rest of

the club level. They found two more bugs planted in

the public areas, both near the satellite bars.

Whoever had placed them wanted to hear what was said at

the bars. It didn't make sense.

On a whim, Alvin took her into a large storage area in

the back. Two more bugs were found in some fixtures

they hadn't had a chance to throw out. But that table

and lamp set had been the one where Mr. D always sat

and watched the crowd. His private table. Alvin

didn't say what it was but she saw the shiny brass

"Private" sign fastened to the edge of the table and

suspected that was what it had been.

Mr. D's new table was clean, at least as far as this

type of transmitter was concerned. Undaunted, the pair

meticulously disassembled and inspected the entire

area. It was Alex' tiny fingers that discovered a tiny

ultra-modern chip in the leg of the table. She showed

it to Alvin, who just grinned. Now he knew who was

bugging the place. The Feds may contract out for the

research on this stuff, but they would never throw away

that kind of money on an operation like this. Only

real money could afford gadgets this good.

She was surprised when he made her put it back exactly

where she had found it, but she did it. They

reassembled the table and went to finish searching in

the office area. As they walked down the hallway,

Alvin leaned over and whispered in her ear, "If you

find one in here, can you pretend there isn't one? If

the answer is 'yes', trip on the carpet going in the

room."

Alex squealed as she tripped going into Mr. Smith's

office. Alvin barked at her to pick up her sorry ass

and get to work. She quartered the office, mentally

cursing him every time her tits throbbed. She had

found three. One in his desk lamp, one near the bar

and one in the chair Lewis had sat in the night Mr.

Smith injected him. Whoever was listening had heard

Mr. Smith threaten Lewis, too.

Alex used a series of obnoxious delays and gestures to

let Alvin know where the bugs were. They got pretty

good at 'yes' and 'no' by rolling their eyes. He was

smiling at her when they were finished, but they both

knew it was now a deadly serious game they were

playing.

Chapter 12

Harold came back to his old apartment frustrated and

pissed off. He looked around at the dump he had left

his wife in and he couldn't believe how he had managed

to survive all those months living like this. Or how

that bitch who called herself Mrs. Wilson could call

this 'home.' The place was a fucking disaster. A

squalid, vermin-infested sty.

They had laughed at him today. At Suzie's Whorehouse,

out on Route 117. When he was living here, he'd been

going there every fucking Wednesday for almost a year

before he came home to his cold wife. He'd never been

laughed at before. It was humiliating.

He couldn't figure it out. For more than a month now

he'd been putting the wood to Marcy like John Henry

drove railroad spikes. All fucking day long, day after

day. He felt like he had been reborn, come into his

own, his virility greater than when he had been a

pimply-faced teenager. Then today, when he had

strutted in and slapped down his new Gold Card, he had

taken three of the most expensive whores upstairs,

booking them for two hours. They had fucking fallen

asleep waiting for inspiration to strike him, but only

after they made sure the whole establishment had heard

of his flop. Inadequate, they had called him and then

made him sign the charge slip, including a huge tip.

To add insult to injury, he couldn't even get a twitch

in the vertical direction for his loving wife, the cold

bitch. It didn't even help to remember her bending

over the couch like last time, her tight little asshole

squeezing him dry as he humped her ass. There was

nothing. Nada. Zip.

He had to be so fucking sweet to her tonight, too. He

had hoped to get her in a good mood by balling her.

Then he could have gotten her to do anything. Sweet

talk the cunts and fuck them good. Then they'd do

anything for you.

He'd managed the sweet talk but she seemed cool,

distant somehow. Oh, she was very polite and smiled at

him, but she seemed sad. Probably that time of the

fucking month. Just his luck. There was no way was he

going to stick his dick in that smelly swamp of a

pussy, so maybe it was just as well to give his pride

and joy a well-deserved rest.

He had to get her to sign those papers. He had

shuffled them in with a lot of health insurance forms

and general information stuff from the company. There

wasn't a ghost of a chance she would even notice it was

there. Marcy had marked all the places for her to sign

with an "X" and highlighted it in a neon pink color.

All she had to do was move the fucking pen with her

hand.

He watched her as she waded through the forms. She was

fucking reading them! What did she expect to do,

understand Corporate America? She was from fucking

Hicksville, Minnesota, for Chrissakes!

He had to think of something else. He had to keep

cool. He-- they needed her cooperation for the plan to

get put into effect. Oh, God! She was reading the

life insurance policy and was checking the fucking

actuarial tables and projected payouts. He was an

accountant and he had trouble with those fucking

things. ... Oh Shit! ... No, thank God! It looked

for a second like she was going to ask a stupid ass

question. ... There! One signature. ... Oh, for

fucking shit. Just sign the damn things. .. Oh,

Christ! Don't look back at what you've already done.

We'll be here all fucking night and this place in

giving me the creeps. What a rat-infested shit-hole.

Alex finished signing the stack of forms and placed

them in a neat pile. They were an interesting

assortment of nonsense, almost enough to make her want

to breeze through them without reading them. But Daddy

had taught her to never sign anything without

understanding it.

"Should I take these to the post office and mail them

for you, Harold?" she asked. "I think I have enough

money for stamps."

"Oh, no. Don't bother. I'll have Marcy drop them in

the outgoing mail when I get back. As an executive, I

get free postage from the company. It's one of the

special perqs." Fucking bitch just wanted more money.

Well, now that she had signed the forms, he was done

with her. She had gotten the last dime she was getting

from him. She could get a job and make her own money,

like he did.

Alex heard the name 'Marcy' and her heart broke in two.

She died a little more inside herself, even though she

had known it was over between them for a long time.

She had known, since she had overheard the telephone

call. True, Mr. Smith had not used Harold's name, but

she knew. A woman knows.

Hearing Harold speak the name of the 'other woman' so

easily in her presence was the hardest thing she had

ever heard. Yet she didn't cry. They still had to

spend the night together. He wondered if he would be

able to tell the difference in her, her increased

sensuality and her increased sexuality. She was still

his wife and she was not only obligated, but ready and

willing to give him whatever he demanded. She hoped

and prayed he wouldn't take her mouth, but she would

sacrifice even that for her husband if that was what he

wanted. In her heart, she hoped he wouldn't, and she

wasn't going to offer, either. She was saving that

for, for, well, she didn't know what to call him.

Yes she did. She wanted to call him 'Master.' With

all her heart and soul, that was what she wanted. It

shook her to her core as that became so clear to her,

yet it calmed her. Grinning wryly, she now understood

her first misunderstanding of what he said he preferred

to be called. He had told her, from the very first

time they had met. "Master Smith." He had

instinctively known about her need then and had been so

patient with her.

Unbelievably, Harold didn't want sex from her. He

didn't even undress before he went to bed. He acted

like the sheets were dirty or that there were bugs or

rodents crawling around the apartment. Soon enough he

was snoring and Alex was able to get back up and re-

examine those insurance papers.

She found them very interesting and vaguely familiar as

she read through them. If she was reading all the

paperwork correctly, what Harold was involved in was a

variation on a huge scam that a race horse owner had

pulled off back in Wisconsin. Or nearly pulled off.

He got caught and everyone knew about it.

The only difference was that in this case, Harold was

the horse. Back home, the guy had used a trumped up,

worthless old nag with a false, but documentable track

record. An altered ID tattoo here, a few charred

remains in a barn fire there, and the insurance company

was paying out a couple of hundred thousand bucks for

what amounted to a pile of overcooked dog food. Too

bad the guy couldn't tell a gelding from a stallion.

Harold's life insurance policy was too big. That's

what made her suspicious. That and the off-shore bank

account. Why did they need one of those? She thought

long and hard about telling Harold of her suspicions.

She had started to say something when she first saw the

policy stuck in among all the other crap. But she

hadn't. He wouldn't have listened to her, anyway. He

was too excited about this, too involved.

She wondered how they had suckered him into doing this.

She figured they had made it seem like his idea, his

scheme. Now, he thought that this was his big break.

Alex sighed. She was his wife and he needed her help

to pull it off. That made her an accomplice to it,

sort of, plus she was the named beneficiary. She

figured that that explained the off-shore account.

They wouldn't be likely to check if he was supposed to

be dead. All he needed to do was match the signature

card. Still, it was a risk and he was putting them

both in danger, but if he was willing to take it, she

would support him.

She did, however, make a couple of changes to the

policy. Minor checkboxes that wouldn't add much to the

premium, but added tons to the benefits as well as

splitting the deposit accounts into two accounts. Just

in case someone else could get access to the account.

Like Marcy. She doubted Harold would notice.

What kept nagging at her was Mr. Smith's involvement in

the scam. What part did he play in all this? That was

what she couldn't figure out. She had already

witnessed his ruthlessness. Alvin had warned her Mr.

Smith was involved with something to do with Harold.

But maybe Alvin was just saying that to confuse her.

He had tried to scare her by telling her Mr. Smith had

beaten a girl to death. She didn't think he could,

but, well, maybe. He had been very angry that day.

She was confused, pulled by her longings one way and

her gut the other. She so wanted to believe in Mr.

Smith, wanted him to be the Master she was longing for

that it was hard for her to believe anything bad about

him. She was even beginning to doubt he had really

killed Lewis. Maybe he was just scaring him. There

hadn't been any police asking questions or anything.

Alex went back to bed and didn't sleep.

Harold left at first light. She had his coffee waiting

for him, made just like he liked it. He had sipped it

and tossed it out, said it tasted funny. Marcy's was

better, he had told her, smirking.

She didn't say anything to him about the scam. Now,

she didn't care.

Alex waited for Damon's call for three days. She

wasn't used to being idle, so she made use of her time.

She borrowed one of her nicer neighbor's sewing

machines and made some alterations in the few clothes

she had. If she had learned anything from the past

couple of weeks, it was how to look sexy and how to

make clothes look as sexy as possible.

With quick and sure stitches and snips, she altered her

one remaining blouse, modified Harold's one silk shirt
that he had left here when he moved out and then

completely redid her Sunday dress. The white one with

the little flowers. When she was done, she stood in

front of the cracked mirror on the closet. She'd

probably best not wear this to church anymore, she

giggled to herself. She could see clear through it and

it fit a lot tighter now. She brushed her thumbs over

her protruding nipples and watched as they stiffened to

their full height. They were always aroused now, and

it made her feel sexy.

The slits up the side of the skirt had gone a little

higher than she had intended, but with the high

waistline the long skirt bound her thighs too much.

She could have cut the bottom off and hemmed it up, but

she rather liked the sexy effect of the slits. When

she twirled around the material flew up and you could

see her dark hair between her thighs. Oh, she felt

wicked. Wonderfully wicked.

Damon came back from his meeting late and furious. It

had not been the meeting he had been prepared for.

Someone was feeding them all the wrong information. He

was convinced now it was Alvin, and that made the

bastard expendable. He had just the thing, too. He

had picked it up from an untraceable source, but it was

delicious revenge. It was un-fucking-believable. Give

the guy a break, help him make something of himself,

and how does he repay you? Fucking stabs you in the

fucking back, that's how!

As soon as he had got to the resort he had sensed

something was wrong. First, the bitch was there with

her sniveling toadies. She never came to these boring

business meetings. What was she doing here?

How a female had gotten on the Board in the first place

was a topic of much discussion, but Damon leaned

towards the inheritance theory. He had heard that she

got on after her husband had died, leaving all the

blackmail evidence he had accumulated on everyone else

in her fucking little hands. Others said she fucked

her way onto the Board, but even 50 years younger she

would still have been ugly. Damon didn't buy that one.

The most ridiculous theory, however, held that she had

fucking outperformed every other director the company

had ever had and had earned her position on the Board.

Like that was fucking possible for a woman!

Right from the first reception she had not avoided

Damon, as she usually did when they met. She had

several male 'secretaries' and attendants to care for

her needs and she wasn't really his type. Too wrinkled

and ugly, though he had only expressed that opinion in

his office. Privately to people he could trust.

Waggling her finger at him, she motioned him over to

her. Smiling and silently cursing her and her fucking

mother who gave birth to her, he made his way

gracefully over into her sphere of influence, edging

out some of the lesser toadies. She made him stand by

her, smiling and laughing. The directors were

constantly judged by their grasp of social graces, and

this bitch was the one Board member you didn't say 'No'

to. Not if you wanted to keep your job, much less your

head.

By the end of the reception, an interminable length of

three hours, she had maneuvered him so that he was

somehow kneeling at the foot of her chair. Like a

fucking slave! Impossible, but she had done it.

Everyone there saw him kneeling, smiling and laughing

up at her. sucking up. They had to have seen him, as

she had made several general announcements from her

chair, her fucking throne, her sharp fingernail digging

into the soft tissue over his carotid artery. The

message was clear: If he stood he would be committing

suicide. In more ways than one. No one but her

sycophantic secretary could see her lethal grip and

that cocksucking bastard just giggled until he peed his

pants.

His public humiliation could have been mitigated by his

success at the business meeting, but he hadn't been

there. A junior flunky he had never heard of from

headquarters gave his report and was promoted on the

spot. The bastard had been one of the bitch's toadies

and as a reward had gotten the new club in South Beach.

It wasn't that Damon wanted to move down there with all

that money and beautiful women, it was the principle of

the thing.

He hadn't been at the meeting because he had been tied

up at the time. Literally. For the first time ever.

Elizabeth fucking Farnsworth had commanded --

Commanded! -- him back to her room after the opening

reception. For a quick little private chat.

When he got to her suite, she had roofied him. The

date-rape drug of choice. When he came to, he was

naked, sore and confused, with several days growth on

his face. He couldn't move.

There was a slide show running on the hotel tv channel

complete with sounds, flashing through the pictures one

by one by one. A hundred or so. All of him. Over and

over, it just kept playing. Everyone in the resort

would see them and he was sure they would have been e-

mailed or posted on a web site as well. He would have,

if he were in her shoes.

There were pictures of him sucking the bitch's cunt,

white semen running out of it and over his tongue and

down his chin. Others were of him kissing her wrinkled

ass, his tongue stuck way up inside it. One series

showed her pissing on his face, flabby thighs

straddling his head, his mouth open and a chunk of

brown shit on the tip of his nose.

Those kinds of pictures he could have lived down. And

live with. Given enough time. The photos with the

faggot secretary he couldn't. How could he explain

having an erection while sucking the guy's cock? And

those groans of passion, obviously in his own voice,

urging the fat cock deeper into his own ass, all while

pictures of him being sodomized by the little fucker,

who, incidentally, wasn't so little, were being flashed

on the screen for all to see and hear.

He had been bound with wire hangers and left for the

cleaning crew to find. They found him wearing a pink

lacy padded cross-dresser's bra and pantyhose with

enough lipstick and mascara to paint a small house. He

wondered where the pictures of him dressed like this

would show up.

He had been thoroughly humiliated. By the time he was

freed, everyone had left the resort and his chartered

jet had been sent home without him. At least he hadn't

had to face his colleagues and see them laughing at

him.

There had been a ticket in coach class on a no-name

airline waiting for him at the desk, along with a huge

room-service tab. He knew better than to change the

reservation or upgrade. He would take it, take all the

shit she could throw at him. He had seen others run

the gauntlet. The directors were tested. He'd never

seen a test quite like this one, but he was sure it was

a test.

There was a note waiting for him, too. A warning. The

bitch wanted a five million dollar increase this

quarter or the local police would get a tape that would

make them reconsider a recent suicide in his little

town. Make it happen or else. His blood ran cold when

he saw the amount she was demanding.

She knew everything, even to the exact amount of the

insurance scam. And she knew about Lewis. Only one

person could have helped her.

That person had met him just inside the club. Alvin

had obviously been waiting for him in the small

security office by the front entrance. He'd probably

been viewing his copy of the shit eating pictures from

the meeting. He wondered if he had copies of the cross-

dressing session, too.

The big man took his arm, gently, but firmly and

ushered him back outside the club and down to a rundown

diner a block down the street. The place was deserted

and it was no wonder. It was a fucking dive.

What his club manager told him stunned him. The place

was bugged and had been for years. Years! He had

thought they'd find maybe one or two hidden mikes, but

almost ten devices had been found. He was even more

stunned when Alvin told him about the ultra-modern

devices only recently out of R&D from the spy shops.

Very trendy, very powerful and almost impossible to

detect. He didn't mention Alex' help in the search.

Damon found he had to reconsider his previous

assessment of Alvin's loyalty. He had expected there

to be a bug in his office and that he would tell him

about it, but that he had probably already replaced it

with two more he wouldn't tell him about. Alvin had

had no reason to tell him of all three they found or of

the newest ones at his reserved table. The one hidden
in the chair explained how fucking Farnsworth knew

about the little shit's fake suicide, too.

He could tell Alvin was worried about the bugs. He

probably had some things to hide, as well. Any good

club manager did a little business on the side. The

question was; Who was Alvin afraid of? The obvious

answer was the Feds. He didn't usually like the

obvious answer, but this time he was going to go with.

The reason he did was that Damon already knew the bugs

weren't the Feds, so that meant Alvin wasn't working

for them. Convoluted logic, but it fit. The big guy

had his faults. He was ethical, he had too much

integrity and couldn't stand the sight of blood. He

was just a teensy bit dirty on the side, and even that

worried him. Damon could live with that. He could

work with that, too, and make it work to his advantage.

He filed that information away for future use.

He felt better than he had in days. Much better. He

felt even better when he got his phone messages and

heard that the life insurance policy on Harold had been

filed. The agent had already received a favorable

reading from the company's underwriters, too.

Alex answered his call on the first ring and was in his

office with a small overnight bag within the hour. He

had asked her if she wanted to continue her training --

he had used that word specifically -- and she had

readily agreed. He said he wanted her to stay with him

at the club until she was ready. He didn't say for

what or how long she would be here and she didn't ask.

He noticed she was more subdued than when he had left.

He wondered what had happened, but didn't pry. All

that mattered to him was that it was a move in the

right direction. He would just keep her moving rapidly

along that path.

He kept her standing in her new white blouse, sexy

short skirt and bare feet for about 30 minutes. He

wasn't busy and she knew it. He just wanted her to

wait. He was pleased to see she did so without

fidgeting or complaint. Things were coming together.

She seemed to be back under control, and right now she

was the key to his future. He'd show that bitch

Farnsworth, then shove his humiliation down her throat.

Then he'd rip out her heart.

Alex sensed a change in Mr. Smith, too. He had no

humor about him now, no sense of joy. He was still

very polite, but he was cold. It wasn't that he was

just calm, he seemed like he was dead, or something.

Her heart ached for him, and she vowed to please him as

best she could.

She looked carefully around the room. Several things

had been changed, including the chair she had been

using for her education. Her training. The chair was

missing and the monitors had been moved back against

the wall. The security cameras were active in each of

the separate screens, showing the various views of the

club. They were empty and still, except for the ones

that captured Alvin moving about the club. He was

using something that looked like a metal detector and

was working methodically around all the floors, walls

and ceiling of the club. Every once in a while he

would put a small mark on a large floor plan of the

club. He would look at it and shake his head.

She saw Mr. Smith watching her watch the screens. He

smiled at her nice, like he meant it and it set her

heart racing. She chided herself for reacting like a

schoolgirl then let her feelings go. It was what she

wanted, to please him. He was happy, and that made her

happy.

"I have you to thank for that, Alex," he said, nodding

at the screens. "Thank you."

"Sir?" She didn't know what he was referring to.

He seemed puzzled that she didn't know what he was

talking about. Then it struck him. She probably

didn't know what a bug was and had never seen one. He

remembered her reaction to the latex training clothes.

She had thought it was a game, a contest.

"Never mind. Are you ready to continue your training?"

"Yes, Sir!" she said eagerly.

He took a collar from his drawer, the same one she had

worn before, and fastened it around her neck. He

attached the chrome leash.

Without a word, he tugged on it and led her out of the

office. She followed obediently.

Chapter 13

They took the elevator down to the third level. It was

cooler down here and she could hear the thrumming of

big machines in some of the rooms they passed. The

doors were labeled for maintenance, furnace, HVAC, and

a huge freezer. There were also some huge vats of

water with pumps and filters running. They looked like

huge aquariums, as there was some sand and plants in

them. She didn't see any fish, but she assumed the

tanks were used to keep live lobsters for the special

banquets they held upstairs. The tanks were big enough

to swim in.

Mr. Smith turned into a room about in the middle of the

building. There were only a couple more rooms further

down and then the hall they were in opened up into a

big space. It was dark but she saw some equipment

scattered around the darkened space.

The darkness seemed to draw her to it, calling to her.

It was such a brief feeling, then Mr. Smith had

unlocked the door and tugged her out of the open

hallway. She wasn't sure that she had felt it. She

shook her head. She didn't believe in such nonsense

and superstition. It was just her excitement affecting

her. And being close to Mr. Smith.

The training room was Spartan but spacious. Two large

screens, a locked cabinet, and an apparatus made from

steel tubing, mostly. There were some rings set into

the floor and some wires hanging from the ceiling with

hooks on them. The sight of them made her shiver in

anticipation. There were wires running from the

cabinet to the apparatus.

That ominous frame was what drew her attention. It was

fashioned from tubular steel and was set firmly into

the floor. The body of the frame was a single tube in

an 'L' shape about two feet tall and one foot long

across the base. From the top of the 'L' shape a

centered crossbar extended about a foot to each side,

like a 'T'. A post from the center of the base was

embedded firmly into the cement of the floor. There

were two protrusions sticking up at different angles

from the top of the base, angled slightly towards each

other. Alex had an ominous feeling where those were

supposed to go.

Below the base, attached to the base were two

extensions pointing forward and out. They reminded her

of the stirrups in the OB-GYN office. All of the parts

were adjustable, polished and gleaming in the bright

spot lights focused on it.

"How do you like the chair?" he asked.

He called it a 'chair.' Now she knew why those knobby

things had filled her with dread. No, not dread.

Uneasy anticipation.

"It looks uncomfortable, Sir."

"HA!" he burst out, as if that was the least of his

concerns. When she thought about, she supposed it was.

It pleased her that he wasn't concerned with her

comfort, in a perverse way. She wanted to experience,

to feel to the fullest whatever it was he had prepared

for her.

Unsnapping her leash, he directed her over to an open

area. He opened the cabinet and she could see an

assortment of electrical equipment. He pushed a button

and music flooded the room. Music with a strong

seductive beat, music that went straight to her pussy
and tickled her. It was the same music that she had

heard on the videos. The videos with the girls
dancing. Beautiful, sensuous dancing.

He watched her as she moved to the music. Her

programming was already taking effect and she didn't

know it. Her moves were much improved from just a

month ago. He found it hard to believe that that

awkward housewife was the same person as the sexy vixen

moving in front of him now.

After a while he moved behind her and let her feel his

arousal. Soon he would satisfy his lusts, but first

she had to be his and his alone. He moved his hands to

the top button on her blouse. It came undone.

He could feel her shudder as the cool air brushed

across the slight opening in the blouse. He moved his

hands to the second button and her hands interrupted

his. Turning to face him she slowly and sexily

unbuttoned the entire blouse. Teasing him a little,

she turned away and bared one shoulder, pulling the

blouse off that one side, laughing as she looked back

over her shoulder at him.

Damon smiled at her playfulness, encouraging her. Soon

she bared the other shoulder and turned to face him.

She was holding the blouse to her chest, but not to

hide from him. She was teasing him with the

infuriatingly slow descent of her hands.

One hard nipple popped into sight and for a long

agonizing moment stood alone. It was joined by its

twin eventually and the blouse fluttered to the cold

concrete.

If anything, the sensuality of her movements increased

as she danced topless. She caressed her body without

touching it, teasing both of them with the promise of

pleasure withheld. Her hips moved on their own accord,

the short skirt flipping up, flashing her charms at

him.

Damon looked pointedly at her skirt. She wasn't moving

too slowly, he was becoming impatient, needing to see

her nakedness. Her fingers fumbled from excitement as

she worked with the closing button. She finally opened

it and slid the zipper down.

She made no pretext of teasing him this time. She had

dreamed of this moment from the first time she had seen

the videos. She had wanted to dance naked for him, to

arouse him, to please him. She hadn't been conscious

of her longings, but now she knew. This was what she

wanted.

Damon let her dance and was pleased. He took a black

silk cord from his pocket, smooth, soft and very strong

and handed it to the writhing girl. The four foot

length wasn't short, but wasn't overly long. It was

the final piece of the dance.

Alex accepted the cord without breaking her movements.

The cord hung motionless, trailing on the cold floor.

Then it moved with her, to her, caressing her as if it

had a life of its own. First it wrapped itself around

her left leg, curling slowly from the thigh down to her

ankle. She stopped momentarily, as if surprised at its

soft embrace. Then, in a trance, she pulled the end in

her hand upwards, letting the length of the cord rub

against her aroused center.

She repeated the move with the right leg and then

pulled it up so that it rubbed her inflamed clit. She

was moaning and sweating now, fully aroused. She was

aware Mr. Smith was in the room, but she was dancing

for the love of the dance now, totally immersed in the

sensuality of her body.

The cord found its way between her thighs, held by one

hand in front and another behind her body. Back and

forth it sang, making music like a bow on a violin.

Faster and faster, grunting with the effort.

The music stopped. She hung there, on the edge.

"Stop!"

The command came like a slap in the face. Wild-eyed

she looked up at the man who controlled her,

manipulated her. Her breathing ragged, her senses

dulled for everything but the fulfillment not achieved.

Aching, she turned to him, her controller, moving to

him as he directed her.

Damon took the silken cord from the trembling figure

and drew her hands behind her back. Starting with her

wrists, he bound them tightly, winding the cord up

higher and higher on her forearms, pulling them

together until her elbows touched. The girl groaned

but did not complain. The pain kept her on the edge

and, as she had sought pleasure, she now embraced the

pain she was feeling.

It wasn't enough to push her over, however, though he

would have allowed it without punishing her. This

time, at least. He wanted her to experience as much

pleasure as possible during this phase. In fact, he

wanted to drive her crazy with lust. From this moment

on, his little project would never be without some sort

of insidious stimulus. In a short time, she would be

putty in his hands. Totally.

Damon led her over to the apparatus and backed her up

to the center bar, her legs straddling the base. He

lifted her bound arms over the crossbar at her back and

urged her to sit down, gently pressing on her

shoulders. She knew without looking where the knobs

were aimed and, in her present condition, was looking

forward to them invading her. Perhaps they would

provide her with the relief she so desperately sought.

She screamed as they impaled her, front and rear. They

weren't long but they were much thicker than Harold

was. Unbelievably, he was still all she had to compare

anything to, although she had seen the pictures of

those beautiful men. And she had felt the hugeness of

Mr. Smith. Alex moved her hips back and forth, forcing

the thick knobs to touch every part of her throbbing

tissues. She came again and then again, finally

slowing in her frantic motions.

The crossbar lay comfortably between her upper arms and

her back. Well, almost comfortably, but Alex relished

the awkwardness of it. It kept her sitting very

upright and Mr. Smith seemed fascinated with the

effects this position had on her breasts, making them

rise and protrude. She had done something similar with

Cathy, her best friend from high school. They were

vamping at a sleep-over, pretending to be sexy models

or something. Then, she was exploring all the aspects

of her newly developed boobies, and the feelings she

had then were nothing compared with those that were

coursing though her body now.

Her legs fit naturally into the stirrups below the

chair, her knees splayed outward. thick leather straps

just below the knee and again around the ankle kept

them firmly in place. The chair was actually much more

comfortable than she had imagined when she first saw

it, but then, she was hornier now than then.

Damon moved to the cabinet and pushed a button. The

training chair was already programmed. Four sessions

in it and she would be a mindless automaton, seeking

pleasure, pain or oblivion, at his command. He watched

for a while then left the room as the deeply imbedded

vibrating and throbbing probes sent the first shocks

through her lower body. In later sessions he would add

the electrodes for her nipples, navel, toes and tongue.

The shocks today would build through pleasurable levels

to painful ones, increasing in strength until she lost

consciousness. When the chair sensed her collapse, the

program would pause automatically as she recovered,

then start in again at a lower, more tolerable level.

It would build again, forcing her to accept greater and

greater stimuli, until that line between pain and

pleasure were forever blurred in her mind.

The visual and audio cues were designed to complement

the physical feelings of vibration and electrical

shock. He had spent thousands of dollars developing

this training machine and the programming for it. It

had paid for itself many times over. He used it not

just to train his pets, but practically every dancer

that came through the club spent time on it. After

being trained, there was never any problem getting them

to do those lucrative private parties.

Lots of dancers wouldn't do the private gigs. Word got

around. It wasn't all uncommon at these orgies that

the dancer would be 'accidentally' snuffed in the drug-

induced debauchery, but more often they would be

permanently scarred or disfigured, but dancers were

easily replaced.

Pets were another matter. They were not only the most

beautiful women, they fed his need for total control.

They would be pampered, coddled, used, and abused, at

his beck and call, totally subservient. When he was

sated, tiring of them, he would share them, with only a

select few at first, then with any who could pay the

price. It was a very high price, as his pets were

always the best of the best. There were many who would

willingly pay the price, however, and the pets would

rush to do his bidding, begging for more. When they

were of no more use to him than a common dancer, he

would put them down, gently and with care, with the

respect they deserved for having served him, as a good

master should.

Damon's plans for this pet were a little different,

though. He needed her total subservience. It was just

his perverse nature and mostly greed that make him want

to get as much out of her as he could, while he could.

Watching her in the chair, he resisted the nagging

little tug he felt at his heart as he thought of the

exuberant and free spirit she offered so willingly to

him. He stamped out the faint nudge that said this one

was special. That she was the one.

In a rage, Damon envisioned Elizabeth Farnsworth's

wrinkled cunt hanging over his face, her piss running

into his eyes and mouth. He shoved any thoughts of

reprieve for the girl in the chair out of his mind.

Pets were replaceable and cheap. He had a deadline

approaching and five million dollars to make. It was

her fucking tough luck she was in his way. He had to

win, whatever the cost.

Alex was lost in a sea of raging emotions. She was

cleaning the bar in the afternoon, naked, after her

first training session. Everything she touched, saw,

heard or smelled reminded her of a hard cock or a

steamy cunt. She had cravings she had never felt

before. She wanted to lick a woman and suck up her

juices. She wanted a cock up her ass. Not just any

cock. A big, hard one.

She had had trouble getting out of the bathroom.

Urinating tickled her clit. Shitting was so

pleasurable she screamed in orgasm. The bidet made her

shudder several times over before Alvin had found her,

her genitals looking like wrinkled prunes.

She had seen the dance for the first time. The whole

dance. She knew what he wanted, now. It didn't

surprise her that it was what she wanted, too. With

her whole being, it was what she desperately wanted.

The girls in the tapes had danced. Oh, they had

danced. Moving, touching, flirting, their clothing

dissolving into the darkness. They moved in a

brilliance of light, on a stage, a man on a stool in

the shadows, watching. Not a man. Their master.

They danced for him. Only for him. She could hear the

shouts, the whistles of the others, but there was only

one man for whom they danced. The shoulders would

bare, then the beautiful breasts. The shouting would

increase as the dress would tease its way over the

grinding hips. Then the wisp of lace, so fragile, so

futile in its attempts to cover or protect. Then that,

too, was ripped away and the girl stood naked. Proud.

Excited.

The girls would dance in their hosiery and their heels,

the only thing left from their apparel would be a black

cord. Her cord. She knew it was the same one. She

could sense it, feel their sensuality flooding through

her as it bound her arms. She watched as they let the

cord touch them, caress them, binding it around their

breasts, spanking the ends teasingly on their throbbing

nipples. Then winding it around their bodies, twining

it in their hair, teasing the master, begging him,

seducing him. The cord would wrap around their necks,

sensuously sliding, tightening, frightening in its

grip, willing to give even this to their master, their

very breath, then slowly relaxing, shuddering in climax

the cord would sink, lower and lower, touching the

private area, the master's garden.

At a sign from the master, the dancer would move to the

shadows, swaying, pleading for his touch. The hands

would move, touching, caressing, reassuring the girl.

The cord would once again wind around her body, this

time at the control of the master. Binding her wrists

behind the back, elbows touching. It was what he

wanted. His soft lips on her nipples, possessing her

soul, then urging her back to the stage.

Looking back at the master, the dancer would dance once

more, seeking his permission. She needed release and

on the floor was a pillar of flesh, an erection, a tool

for her to use. For her master. Lower her hips would

sway, lower and lower, balancing on her high heels

until she would scream, impaling herself completely on

the phallic organ. Looking always at the man in the

shadows. Seeking to do his pleasure.

Another man, then another would join her on stage,

filling her cunt, fulfilling her needs as she looked at

the man in the shadows. She was pleasing him, dancing

for him, fucking for him. man after man, in her cunt,

in her ass, in her mouth. Alex was jealous of the

dancers who could take a man between their breasts,

tittie fucking them. She felt inadequate, somehow,

incomplete.

When the dance was done, the master would be gone. The

shadows dark, the stool empty. The lights faded and

the dancers slept in a pool of fluids, sated.

Over and over the videos had run that day. Over and

over the probes had driven her slowly insane, filling

her with strange desires and cravings.

It was hard work cleaning the bar. When she didn't do

it right, Mr. Smith or Alvin would lean her over a

table and whip her. Never in the same place, so she

never knew where she would be whipped. The lashes

across her bare feet hurt as she limped back to the

bar. Mr. Smith had done those. Strange, the lashes

from Alvin didn't hurt as much. But he was very eager

to punish her until finally Mr. Smith was able to

leave, knowing Alvin would do a good job whipping her.

Alvin breathed a deep sigh of relief when Mr. D finally

left. Miss Alex was in bad shape, dazed and totally

pliable. Those blows the bastard had landed on her

feet hadn't fazed her loyalty to him one bit, but they

would hurt for days.

He knew the program she was going through and had

participated in it before with others, dancers mostly.

Never at this level, and never with one of Mr. D's

pets, but since the business meeting, Mr. D had been

different with him. Friendly, almost, and that scared

the shit out of him. That man was an explosively

dangerous mix of psychotic and intelligence. But

keeping close to him meant keeping close to Alex and

right now, he was all the friends she had.

Alex presented herself to Alvin, the bar sparkling. He

inspected it carefully. He would punish her for any

infraction. He had to, if he wanted to keep Mr. D from

doing it. Finding none, he leaned her against the bar

and whipped the backs of her thighs anyway, as

instructed. Not surprisingly, she accepted the beating

and didn't complain.

He knew Mr. D was in his office. "Go down and clean

the apartment."

"The whole floor, Mr. Alvin?" she asked him innocently.

Something in her question struck her as not quite so

innocent.

"Of course, Miss Alex."

The look she flashed at him for the barest of instances

made him wonder what she was doing, but if was

obviously the answer she had wanted. He hoped she

wouldn't get them both killed.

Alex went downstairs and immediately got out the

sweeper and the feather duster. The apartment was

still pretty clean from the last time she was down

here. Mr. D came down once and slapped her tits,

making her ears ring. She was beginning to like the

pain when he gave it to her and she didn't mind.

Then Alvin came down and would give her more

reasonable, if unwarranted punishments. Keeping an eye

on the clock, she timed his visits. As soon as he had

left for the third time, she made a bee line for the

storage room.

It hadn't changed since she had been in here with Mr.

Smith. Going directly to the boxes she rifled through

them and pulled one item from each of them. It only

took her two minutes and another two to secrete the

items where she can get them.

Alvin came back down and she was sitting on a chair

playing with her pussy, fingering herself towards what

appeared to be a tremendous climax. That is, until he

saw her eyes watching him. She was acting.

He stormed over to her, and taking his lead from the

nod on her head threw her against the buffet table

against the wall. He saw her hand snake out and grab

something behind the center piece, but only because he

was watching for it. Playing his part, he beat her

severely, until she fell to the ground, grabbing his

feet and kissing them, begging for mercy.

Her last words, as she collapsed were "Why? Tell me

why?" She wasn't acting.

Mr. D met him as he came off the elevator. With a nod,

he simply said, "Good work." As he had suspected, he

had been watching, or at least listening. He stood

there as the doors closed, watching Mr. D. He was

afraid to move. Whatever it was Miss Alex had shoved

inside his instep on his shoe was slipping out.

Bending down and retying his shoe, he palmed the stack

of plastic cards in his big hands and went to the front

door. He called down to the apartment and told Mr. D

he was going home, and what time did he want him in the

morning? Getting an early hour, he said 'Good Night'

and left.

Damon nudged the faintly striped figure on the floor

with his foot. He had watched every encounter between

the two and was pleased. The black man was almost as

ruthless as he, but the marks would fade in a few

hours. Very skillful, almost as good as himself.

He was satisfied that Alvin could take over this part

of the training, the constant breaking down of self-

esteem and infliction of pain for no reason. She would

learn to accept it, expect it, crave it. But with

Alvin here, that would mean he would have his

afternoons free for the next three days to do his own

investigations on the source of those damn bugs. Well,

not the source. But who was listening. And who had

planted them. With Alvin cleared, he was fresh out of

suspects.

Leaving Alex on the floor, he remembered something he

had meant to do earlier. Since she was going to have

free rein of the club and the apartment for the next

few days he would need to lock that storage room. He

took a key out of his pocket and went to the room at

the end of the hall. On an impulse he opened the door

and peeked inside.

Everything was as it should be. He shook his head. He

really shouldn't keep that stuff. Oh, he was probably

safe, as the pets had never been reported as missing or

shown up dead. It was in here that he kept the

memories of them. These were the mementos of their

time together, as a boy with a dog might keep a

treasured photo of the two together at the beach. Or

the nametag on the collar. Well, he had his videos and

his pictures. And in here, in the boxes he had their

papers, their identities that they had surrendered to

him. That he had taken from them. They were his now.

No one knew those names but him. He was the only one

who cared about them. Those were his pets, his, in

those boxes.

He stepped back out and locked the room. He pocketed

the key.

Chapter 14

Alex soon realized that Mr. Smith had not been idle

while she was working in the bar upstairs. It was, if

she had been able to admit it, quite clever.

Diabolically clever. It was, she decided, driving her

insane. Sweetly and pleasurably insane.

She watched the big armature stop at the end of its

long arc, then slowly gather speed. Gritting her teeth

to keep from screaming again, Alex watched the pendulum

sweep towards her crotch, then begin to rise just as it

was about to touch her at the bottom of the arc and

lift away, slowly decelerating.

Alex had woken from the beating she had forced Alvin to

give her to the dripping of cold water on her heated

and inflamed skin. Mr. Smith was standing above her

holding an ice cube. The melting icy drips were

creating small shock waves within her, striking with as

much effect as the crop had earlier.

Immediately she had rolled over on her knees, head to

the ground and groveled, begging, pleading for mercy.

He had laughed at her pleading and nudged a bowl at

her. It was slop, but she was starving. She placed

her hands behind her back and bowed to the bowl. As

daintily and lady-like as she could, she ate the

contents. It was watery and weak. Near starvation was

one of the keys to a successful brainwashing. He held

life and death in his hands, not just pain and

pleasure.

She tried to crawl, but collapsed. Weeping from her

inadequacies, she used her arms to crawl into his

bedroom. He had pushed her a little too hard the first

day, anxious to break her and she wasn't done yet. He

waited for her by the cage door, patient but heartless

while she used the bathroom and crawled to his feet.

He helped her put on the latex panties and the latex

bra. She watched as he had unplugged them from the

charging unit next to his bed. She was to make sure

they were charging when she wasn't wearing them, he

told her.

Then he let her lie down and he shackled her to the

sleeping mat. Looking up at him and then past him, she

saw something out of an Edger Allen Poe story. Only no

big blade. Just a pendulum.

At the moment, she was wishing it was a blade.

Something to put her out of the torture. Mr. Smith had

taped one of the sensors to the end of the armature.

As it swung towards her, the shocks and vibrations in

her cunt, ass and tits would strengthen. As it moved

away, they would weaken and then stop. Then start

again. And again. And again. With her last sane

thought, she looked to the bottom of the shelf and

promised them that she would help them.

She wasn't sure if she slept, but morning came.

Finally. Mr. Smith released her and let her use the

bathroom. Then he took her into the kitchen and, while

he ate a breakfast of bacon and eggs, toast and coffee,

she sipped the water that was in her bowl. She didn't

complain.

Finishing his meal he tossed her a crumb of toast. She

snatched in mid-air and kissed his hand. He seemed

pleased with himself and she cried from happiness that

he was pleased. Her emotions were totally skewed, as

intended.

Again, they took the elevator to the third level and

went to the room. Alex heard the voices coming from

the dark space again. They were stronger this time.

She shook her head. She was going crazy.

She danced for him. He made her dress first, then take

the clothes off. She didn't mind. She saw his eyes

looking at her. He wanted her. She wanted him to want

her and moved as lewdly and wantonly as she could. She

caught the teasing little smiles he gave her and she

floated in ecstasy.

He bound her again with her black cord. She rubbed her

breasts on his chest and he stopped to appreciate their

firmness. She mewled and purred to him. Gently he

lowered her into the chair. The probes that invaded

her were larger today, thicker and longer and filled

her uncomfortably.

Mr. Smith retrieved a small stainless steel bowl and a

towel from the cabinet. He laid the towel over her

leg. In a small jar, he whisked a frothy foam with a

stiff brush. He took an ivory handled razor from his

pocket. It was an expensive tool, extremely sharp,

just like Daddy's straight razor.

Daddy had had a strop hanging out on the back porch.

Alex would love to watch him caress the gleaming blade

up and down the thick leather strap, the hiss of the

blade the only sound in the cool morning air. With a

foamy grin at his favorite daughter, he would start the

process of scraping the follicles from his face.

Just like Mr. Smith was scraping her bare. She fought

against her climax hard, trying to remain still as the

razor caressed her mound, cleaning, baring her. She

screamed, the tensions and feelings culminating in an

orgasm approaching the best ever. Drained, she watched

him finish, skillfully cleaning her, leaving only a

narrow wedge of pubic hair, just a former hint of her

womanhood. She hadn't been a hairy woman down there,

but now she felt salacious, free and delightfully

wicked.

When Mr. Smith lowered his head to her privates, she

squealed her joy, over and over. Cunt-licking was

every bit as wonderful as she had imagined. Again and

again he brought her up to and over the edge of sanity,

pushing her harder and harder into the fathomless abyss

of mindless pleasure. He was deliberately cruel in his

manipulation of her, teasing when she needed to be

fulfilled and she craved more stimulation and then

tonguing her relentlessly as she fought for her breath.

Finally, she relinquished her body to him and was swept

away into oblivion.

Sensing her complete surrender to his tongue, Damon's

eyes coldly assessed the convulsing figure. She was

easier to control now, easier than he had expected,

given her earlier surprising strength and resilience.

No matter, she would still get the full training, if

somewhat accelerated. He still had to try to make some

profit from this investment, and, if all went according

to plan, she would have a rather short profitable

period. And he needed to slake his desires, too. His

needs were building.

Just before he turned on the chair for the day's

programming, he attached electrodes to her clitoris and

her nipples. He pushed the button and dimmed the

lights. She would be alone with her nightmares for the

next four hours.

Alex fought to keep sane. She was tired and the

experience of being shaved had thrilled her beyond

anything she had imagined. And he had touched her. It

was the first sexual touch her had given her. Her

heart was singing while her body craved for more and

more and was demanding, insistent. She fought the

darkness for a few minutes. She had to remember.

Today there were photos. She didn't recognize all of

them, but some of the models now had names. From the

photos on the driver's licenses she had taken from the

storage area. It was now locked, but she had been in

time. She had studied the small plastic cards in

secret, memorizing the names. She recognized all of

them. Now, as they flashed on the screens, happy, gay
and beautiful, she talked to them.

She heard their voices, dubbed over the photos that

showed them being whipped or fucked with dildos by a

big leather-clad woman, begging for more and more. She

knew how they felt. They just wanted to please their

master.

Alex wondered if he was their master yet, when the

pictures were taken. They didn't use that word, or at

least not all of them. Maybe some of them held out,

maybe some--- Ahhh!

The electrodes on her clit and nipples, sensing her

lack of a proper and full response to the other

stimuli, got her attention back. The machine, designed

to break any and all resistance, whipsawed the bound

girl between agony and ecstasy for the rest of the

morning. It was easier not to fight the machine and

Alex surrendered to the demands made of her body and

spasmed her way to oblivion.

Mr. D took her up to the bar when she was done and left

Alvin in charge of his project, saying he would be back

by 5:00. Alvin knew the routine. But he broke it. As

soon as the door closed he curled Miss Alex around his

feet in the small security room and told her to sleep.

She was out before he stood up.

He had seen the devastating results of the same type of

methods of brainwashing that had been used on veterans

captured in 'Nam. He had been luckier. In Africa,

they just killed you, eventually.

Miss Alex was experiencing sleep deprivation coupled

with starvation, beatings, loss of identity and

humiliation. He knew about that machine in the

basement and had no doubt it was many more times more

effective at 're-educating' when the victim was totally

helpless to resist any suggestion or demand. He was

worried about this innocent little farm girl at his

feet.

Alvin had gone home last night and spread out the worn

and expired driver's licenses on his kitchen table. He

had known three of them in his time at the club.

Another he had known in another life. A knife went

through his heart. Again. He thought he was over her

by now. It had been almost ten years. Ten years

since...

Miss Alex had given these to him. Why? She had

risked, had begged for a severe beating to pass them to

him unobserved. Why? That was the question she had

asked. Why? Why?

He was asleep when it hit him. Why, indeed? Why did

Mr. D have them and not the girls? Why, unless they

didn't need them anymore?

What the Hell had Miss Alex found?

Alex woke up screaming, in another part of the bar, a

glass of juice next to her on the floor. Alvin was

standing above her, bellowing at her to clean up that

juice. The whip that had woken her slashed down once

more, landing solidly on the floor by her hand. He

missed her completely. Throwing him a quick smile, she

gulped down the juice. She could taste the raw eggs

mixed in it. Not her favorite, but it was nourishing

and full of proteins and vitamins.

Alvin beat her soundly after she had finished the

drink, making her body look as if she had been thrashed

regularly all afternoon long. She even rolled over on

her back to let him have easy access to the front of

her naked body. She held her hands by her side,

defenseless. Their eyes met and his hand with the whip

faltered. She willed him to continue with her eyes.

They both knew the risks he had taken by letting her

sleep and feeding her. He didn't look away as he

lashed her repeatedly.

She glanced down at his crotch as he stood.

Interesting, she thought to herself. He enjoys it, but

not this way. His consternation touched her and she

realized she had made the right decision. The other

pets would be safe with him.

That night after the watery gruel, the pendulum swung

and Alex screamed until she was hoarse. She looked at

the shelf of names and they laughed at her courage.

Damon opened the soundproofed door to his pet's room to

a nicely deranged cunt. He didn't like to hear them

screaming, so he even took the risk of not bugging this

tiny room. There was little he would learn in here

anyway that he didn't already know.

Today she would start the next phase. He would begin

to ask her to sign the papers giving him control over

her. Up until now all of his pets but one had given

him ownership by the end of the third day. The pet

that had hesitated had come screaming to him on the

fourth. He had made her pay dearly for that delay.

After a breakfast of water and another tossed scrap of

toast, Damon led Alex back downstairs.

It was a repeat of the prior day. She dressed, she

danced, she stripped. He bound her and tied her to her

chair.

"Pet, you know I want to this to be special between us.

I want to make this relationship permanent, to keep

forever what we have."

"Sir, I'd like that, too, but I'm married. I can't

give myself to you until I am free from my marriage

vows, Sir."

"Don't be ridiculous, Pet. No one takes those vows

seriously anymore. And I'm not asking you to marry me.

Not yet, anyway," he added. Some cunts needed the

carrot, some the stick. He tossed out a carrot.

"But, Sir, if I don't take my marriage vows seriously,

how will you ever trust me to take my commitment to you

seriously?"

"Pet, I don't want to be your husband. I want to be

your Master."

"M- master?"

"Yes. You'd like that, wouldn't you? To call me

'Master'?"

"Oh, yes, Sir! With all my heart, Sir!"

"Then sign the papers, Pet. Then you could call me

'Master'."

Alex looked at the top page. They were the same

documents as the ones in the boxes. She wouldn't just

be giving up her freedom. He was taking, demanding her

whole life, even her name. She wept bitterly and Damon

knew he would have to work on her more, to soften her

up. Oh, well, it had been worth a shot.

As if forgiving her her intransigence, Damon leaned

toward the bound figure and kissed her forehead softly.

He dried her tears with his fingers and whispered in

her ear.

"That's OK, Pet. Maybe later."

He walked over to the cabinet and took out a small

leather packet. He always enjoyed this part. He had

always considered this the beginning. From here on,

there was no backing out. Smiling contentedly, he went

back to the waiting girl.

He laid the leather packet on her thigh and unrolled it

slowly. He could sense the dread as the gleaming

needles, hooks, blades and pliers were gradually

revealed. He took a sharp blade and drew it softly

across her breasts. Even that light touch left a

bright red line in its wake, occasionally spotted with

a droplet of blood. He licked the droplets and kissed

Alex on the mouth. She eagerly accepted his tongue,

tasting the sharpness of her own blood. She sucked
hungrily for more and he broke away, laughing

cynically.

He took out a large needle and she whimpered in

excitement. She had no fear. She didn't trust this

man, but she had given him control over her. It was an

odd disconnect when she had time to think about it, but

she was finding she was less able to focus lately. It

seemed that her senses were being assaulted constantly,

even in her dreams, or was she dreaming now? She was

becoming less sure, able only to give into to the

constant demands of her body. For pleasure, for pain,

for anything this man would take from her.

Damon traced the needle over the smooth surfaces of her

breasts. They weren't as large as he preferred, and,

if he had intended to keep this one for long, would

have had her fixed already. Tittie fucking was such a

selfish release. He almost preferred it to real

fucking. But still, her tits were amazing in their

firmness and perfection. The point of the needle

rested against the nipple and he pushed gently.

A low sound escaped from the girl. Damon let loose of

the needle and it hung there, pointing cockeyed at the

ceiling, wavering with each breath she took. Another

needle joined the first, just slightly inserted through

the first layers of skin. He didn't want to do deep

tissue damage. At least, not yet.

When one breast looked like a porcupine, he started on

the other. The girl's eyes were glazed, but never

wavering from watching each and every move he made.

She didn't protest once.

With the last needle, a curved one used for stitching

wounds, he lowered his aim. Placing the sharp tip

against the dainty flap of skin, he force the needle

through and left it protruding, an obscenely gleaming

crescent on a field of human flesh. The pain from the

penetration brought a mournful wail from the girl, but

no protest.

Slowly and painfully he removed the needle, and while

the wound was still fresh, he inserted a small

stainless steel loop. The soldering iron had been

preheating and it was a simple and practiced task to

seal the loop permanently with silver solder. The

smell of singed flesh filled his nostrils and he

shifted his huge erection to a more comfortable

position. The girl had climaxed from the pain and

passed out. Good. Right on schedule. The belly-

button ring was his first mark of ownership.

The girl still needed to be wooed, so he lowered his

head to her cunt and licked gently until she regained

consciousness. Had he left her alone, she would have

fallen into a deep sleep, something he couldn't afford

at this point. But she responded to the salacious

demands of her body and, within the confines of her

bondage, frantically urged her hips forward as much as

she could to meet his wonderful tongue.

Today he teased her, bringing her to the edge, then

twisting and wiggling one of the needles. At first the

pain broke the flow of the feelings of pleasure from

his tongue, but after a while they combined. The

feelings were different, but complimentary in her mind.

Both were from him, the man she wanted to please, the

man she had to please.

She was screaming, begging for release, for more as he

attached the electrodes. Today she got them all.

Toes, nipples, clit, and tongue. He liked the one for

the tongue. When it was stimulated, the airways

clamped shut, making it impossible for her to breathe.

He would control her very breathing from now on. She

was almost his. He could feel it.

Before he left, he gave her one more chance to sign.

She refused, politely, firmly, sadly. Fuck her. He

pushed the button. She would not enjoy the session

today. Today she would learn what real control was.

Alvin gave her a glass of juice with several eggs when

she first came up that afternoon and again when she

woke up several hours later. He didn't whip her today.

Mr. D had given him instructions not to mark her at

all. Verbal abuse only.

Alvin said several things after Mr. D had left, but

under his breath and none directed at the soundly

sleeping girl at his feet. He was worried about her.

Her look today had been furtive. The sparkle was

leaving her eyes.

He had made some careful inquiries about the missing

girls. He was waiting for word back. He wished at

times he could just go into a police station and get

their attention. But he couldn't. So he had to work

carefully, through a 'friend of a friend' and wait

while these things went through the back channels. He

hoped Alex would last. She had one more day to go.

Damon was persistent the next day, cajoling her,

bullying and demanding that she sign. She refused. He

shouted angrily at her and refused to let her call him

'Master'. It was only right, she was just a slut.

She danced for him, putting her whole being into

pleasing him, but he refused to be mollified. Her

energy at an end, she collapsed naked on the floor at

the end of her dance. She had nothing left to give

him.

Alex awoke to a new sensation. Her shoulders were on

fire, her head hanging forward on her chest. She

jerked up her head to see a girl in the screens.

Hanging spread-eagled from the ceiling hooks, her feet

bound by ropes tied to the rings on the floor, her feet

off the floor. The girl's body was taut as a

bowstring.

Alex saw Mr. Smith on the screen moving behind the

girl, then in front, just as he came into her own

vision. He was holding a glowing rod with a wooden

handle. Alex had seen them on the farm, only bigger.

Branding irons.

Without another word, Mr. Smith knelt in front of her

and pressed the incandescent brand into her flesh, just

above and to the right of her vaginal slit. The pain

was so intense, so brutal she screamed, the pitch

rising as the pain lingered, burning. Then the pain

changed and she struggled, her brain refusing to accept

how her body was reaction to that horrible, glorious

pain. Copious fluids flowed from her center, her

breasts swelled and ached, her nipples were painfully

hard. Her cunt flowered, blossoming with the influx of

blood. Her clitoris snapped to attention with an

almost audible sound.

Alex was in agony. She was aroused as never before in

her life. From the pain. She was ashamed. She was

ashamed because she knew she loved it and would seek

this out, regardless of the consequences.

The man she called Mr. Smith, the man she longed to

call 'Master' didn't realize it, but he made his first

critical error in judgment in the process of totally

subjugating Mrs. Alisson Wilson. He didn't ask her to

sign over her life after the branding. He was too

angry with the stubborn bitch.

Mr. Smith whipped her lightly as she watched the girl
in the videos get whipped. Her body was so sensitive

that even the light blows he gave her felt like

lightning bolts. She didn't notice that her skin was

not marked or that Mr. Smith was using a suede strap,

the soft leather caressing and slapping her skin more

than cutting and biting. She developed a lovely rosy

hue as the blood rushed to the stimulated surfaces.

Alex climaxed once early on and never seemed to stop

after that.

It took her a while to realize that the girl in the

video was her.

Damon fitted the electrodes and probes from the chair

to the hanging girl. She was still babbling,

incoherent. Angry, he jabbed the button without trying

a final time to get her to sign. It was his second

error in judgment.

He sent Alvin down to clean her up and left for the

day. He came back late that night and checked on his

recalcitrant Pet before going to bed. She was

screaming nonsense as the pendulum swung back and

forth, as if she were conversing with someone.

Satisfied she wouldn't get any sleep, he shut the sound-

proofed door and went to bed. Tomorrow or the next

day, signed or not, he had to take her. He couldn't

wait any longer.

Alex heard the door shut through the tiny fraction of

her mind that was still grasping reality. She hadn't

heard it open, or she would have told the voices to be

quiet. They had started calling her last night. She

was one of them now, she had the ring. And now she had

his mark. She belonged with them now.

Alex argued with the voices, she was married. She

still had her wedding ring. She had committed herself

to another man.

The voices laughed at her. What man? That worthless

failure? He couldn't even satisfy you. If he was such

a good man, where are your children? He left you for

another woman. Marcy. Why waste yourself on him any

longer? Give in to the Master. Let him own you. You

can join us, belong.

On and on they would argue as the pendulum swung, the

constant shocks to her erogenous zones now almost

unfelt. Almost. She couldn't sleep with them, nor

could she think. But she could talk to the voices.

This afternoon, to placate them, she had insisted that

Alvin leave her alone in her cage for an hour. She had

asked for a knife, or even a fork, but he had refused

her, concern in his face and voice. She laughed madly

at him. What did he think she was going to do, kill

herself?

But he had left her alone and she had carved in the

soft pine with her fingernail. She had left her mark.

She wasn't owned nor had she had her first dance so she

left the first and second dates blank. drawing her

finger over the names, she forced herself to envision

their faces, the awful pictures from the small plastic

cards and the beautiful and sexy models in the pictures

and videos. She cried for them. They had been silent,

for once. She was joining them, bit by bit.

Alvin had let her sleep for almost eight hours and had

given her three drinks of juice and eggs. Even with

his help she was beginning to look thin. Her

cheekbones were coming into high profile and her

breasts seemed over large compared to her sunken

stomach. He told her he wouldn't be able to see her

tomorrow. It wouldn't be allowed. He didn't know when

he would see her again. He sounded more afraid than

sad.

The sleep was a help but not enough to fully restore

her grasp of reality. It had only taken three sweeps

of the pendulum before she heard the voices in her

head. They had still been talking to each other when

Mr. Smith had looked in on her.

Chapter 15

The next day, the fifth of her training, marked a

change. The first thing she noticed was that he let

her walk. On her feet. And shower and get clean with

warm water. He even helped dry her off. She cried.

Everything made her cry now, if it didn't make her cum.

She stared at the food on her plate. She was sitting

at the table with Mr. Smith. She kept her hands in her

lap until he said she could take a bite. He allowed

her to use the fork. She chewed the savory food

slowly, relishing the texture against her tongue. It

was the first solid food she had had in four days. She

cried as she swallowed and thanked him.

He allowed her to eat the entire meal. If she had

taken one bite without permission, it would have been

the last. He didn't say that, but somehow, she knew.

Instead of turning off into the training room, Mr.

Smith took her to the large room at the end of the

hallway. The one where the voices were.

There were lights on today and people bustling around,

setting up things and moving big lights. She was naked

and didn't notice.

Mr. Smith led her to a chair, a real one, and had her

sit. She felt awkward, not being bound. She looked at

him for reassurance and he smiled at her. His smile

felt cold on her skin, but at least he wasn't angry

with her. She would try to please him today. Maybe he

would forgive her for not signing, but she couldn't.

She was married. She stole a glance at the cheap

narrow band Harold had given her. It was almost a

year. It was a part of her, yet it wasn't. But it was

a symbol of her commitment to Harold, whether he kept

his or not.

She didn't judge Harold harshly anymore. How could

she? Look at her, a married woman, sitting here naked

and without shame. Lusting for another man, willing to

give him everything he asked for. Everything but what

she didn't have.

She was pampered that morning. Washed and oiled with

glistening oils, her hair was washed and set. The lady

trimmed it a little, just like in a beauty salon. Then

the man came and worked on her face, adding a

foundation and then some color. He used eye shadows

that made her eyes stand out. All the time he was

explaining what he was doing, showing her how.

Alex watched the transformation of the pretty girl in

the mirror into a sexy siren. Her green eyes and red
hair were stunning. When the make-up man was done he

stood looking at her for a long moment. He looked

almost sad.

Mr. Smith was pleased with her, she could tell. She

saw him staring at her, as if he had never seen her

before. She smiled at him as sexily as she could and

he licked his lips. She laughed and stopped suddenly.

It had been so long she couldn't remember when she had

last laughed. When had she stopped?

Then the man with the cameras took over. Mr. Smith was

in charge, but she followed the directions of the

photographer. All the time, in her mind, she was

posing for Mr. Smith.

They started out with tiny swimsuits. By now Alex knew

the routine. Start with it on, then it comes off, as

sexily as possible. The camera man showed her the

first proof. There was a reflecting screen that had

different backgrounds. The pictures looked like she

was at the ocean. She was posing, just like the others

had done for Mr. Smith. She posed in three different

suits before she stumbled. She felt dizzy, tired.

Mr. Smith gave her a pill and a glass of water. She

didn't know what it was. She looked at him and he told

her to take it. It was safe, he said, just some speed.

Alex didn't know what speed he wanted her to go. The

water tasted good.

In a couple of minutes, Alex felt better. Not good,

but better. Like she was nervous and antsy. She

couldn't stay still. The kitchen she stood in looked

funny with just the counter. They made her put food on

her body. Then she was in shower, then a bathtub with

bubbles and a long narrow bar of soap.

The lingerie that she posed in next deteriorated from

an elegant, if transparent gown, to ludicrously obscene

pieces of lace that had no practical purpose but to

expose and excite. They rolled in a bed for her to lie

on and she was naughty for Mr. Smith and for the

camera.

It was about this time that Alex noticed that there

seemed to be a change in the people in the room. Most

of the gaffers set up the lights in a fixed position

and left. The makeup man that had been giving her

touch ups all morning long left her with a soft kiss on

the cheek and a large bag of cosmetics for her to use.

She thanked him. He looked so sad when he left.

Soon it was just Alex, Mr. Smith and a new

photographer. He wasn't as nice as the first one and

was touching her privates and making her do things she

didn't like. Mr. Smith saw him and didn't stop him, so

she let him, even sticking things inside of her anus

and opening herself up when he told her, holding her

pussy open so he could take pictures. Mr. Smith looked

like he was waiting for someone. He kept glancing at

his watch and walking up and down.

Alex had never before seen the woman who finally came

in, but she knew who she was. She was beautiful. Tall

and elegant, perfectly made up and covered from head to

toe in black leather. She looked so sexy.

Without a word from Mr. Smith, the woman took over the

photo shoot. The costumes Alex modeled now were made

of leather, latex and chrome. She was corseted and the

woman put her knee in Alex' back and pulled it tighter

than she had thought possible. Then the nipple clamps

were put on and Alex didn't think much more. Between

the pain, the pills and the constant arousal, she was

lost to her feelings.

A month ago this would have seemed strange, to be so

free, wanton and wicked with a total stranger, but now,

it felt right. Mr. Smith was there, and it was all

right. Alex watched him the whole time, watching his

eyes, wanting to please him.

He watched this part of the photo session much more

intensely and Alex was thrilled. She did everything

she could to please him, looking to him constantly for

reassurance. She did things she had only recently been

dreaming of. Even then, she only knew of these wicked

things because he had shown her pictures and videos of

the other girls doing them. Now she was doing them to

please him.

She was bound and laid on a low table. The woman

licked her and Alex climbed for the sky. But she

stopped too soon. Mr. Smith was telling the woman

something. 'Not to come' was what she heard. But the

lady was already here. How could she not come if she

were already here?

The pretty lady had smiled at Mr. Smith and showed him

a small vial from her black bag. A doctor's bag. The

vial was different than Mr. Smith's, bigger. She

injected Alex with something in her cunt and around her

ass and then under her nipples. In about five minutes,

they felt like her mouth did when she went to the

dentist. Like they were dead.

When the lady straddled her face, Alex knew what to do.

She had never done it before, but she licked and sucked
the woman with gusto. The pill Mr. Smith had given her

helped keep her going. She knew she was exceedingly

tired. She could feel it in her bones, but the pill

helped her. She pleasured the woman and the woman had

kissed her. She had sucked Alex' tongue in to her

mouth, then explored Alex' mouth with her own. Alex

liked that.

They kissed a lot after that, passionately, wantonly.

The photographer kept taking pictures from every angle.

The lights were hot, they were sweating, slippery. It

was sexy and the two women giggled and laughed, sharing

little secrets only women can share.

Alex was almost drawn to the woman, feeling she was

being torn between this strong woman and Mr. Smith. It

was wrong, her mind told her. She wanted Mr. Smith,

but the woman was so soft and comforting. She

understood Alex' needs. She wasn't demanding. Alex

had never kissed a woman before and found it thrilling.

It was different, softer. The woman pushed her further

and further until Alex was left gasping for air.

The toys were next. At least, that's what the woman

called them. She was almost naked now and so was Alex.

They strapped Alex over a bar that pushed her butt way

up in the air.

Alex didn't scream when the lady rammed a huge plastic

dildo into her pussy. She could barely feel it because

of the numbness. She did feel the fullness of it

pressing against her diaphragm but the usual feelings

the nerves sent to her brain were blocked. She felt

cheated. Her body knew it was getting fucked and the

juices were flowing, the tensions building.

Unfortunately for Alex, her brain was sitting this one

out and refused to allow her to climax. It was very

frustrating.

That frustration grew as the afternoon wore on. The

beautiful woman had used a huge strap on dildo and had

fucked her for what seemed like hours, then had

switched to her ass. They had finished the session by

the woman putting her whole hand up inside Alex' pussy
and pumping in and out. She did that for a long time.

They had been excited at those shots. They called it

'fisting.'

The numbing from the shots hadn't worn off yet. Mr.

Smith was impressed and told her they were getting some

great shots, that she was doing great. She was

thrilled that she had pleased him. Alex thanked him

and pleaded for release. Not from the bondage. From

the sexual tensions. He held up the clipboard with the

papers. She cried. The Dom saw that exchange and

looked thoughtful.

She began to get hopeful towards the end. The numbness

left her nipples first and the millions of tiny

prickles that preceded full sensation almost set her

off. The beautiful woman, having used the drug before,

was watching for this and left Alex hanging on the

edge. Now that her brain was back and willing, the

woman toyed with Alex, teasing and tormenting her

relentlessly but never letting her go over the edge.

At the end Alex was strung up on a portable frame

spread-eagled. She was naked, sweating, her new makeup

a wreck, her hair in straggly clumps. Her breathing

was ragged and in her mind the thin sliver of reality

she had remaining was fading. She was screaming

hysterically at them. The woman and Mr. Smith,

standing there together, too close together. The

photographer was gone.

The woman was holding a belt with two huge vibrators.

They plugged into the wall. Mr. Smith said he was

planning on leaving her all night wearing it. The

woman said not yet, it would set her off, ruin the

whole effect. Mr. Smith agreed. They waited. He

touched the woman on her breasts, right in front of

Alex. The woman let him and snuggled her butt into Mr.

Smith's erection.

They got tired of waiting for Alex to cool off and left

her hanging there, forgetting to put in the vibrators.

Alex screamed at them for a long time, then the urgency

passed. The effects of the pill finally wore off, too.

Without stimulation, Alex slept.

She dreamed for the first time in many nights. It was

them. All of them. And Petunia. Why was Petunia

here? In her dream, Alex was awake, but was hanging

just as she actually was, like they had left her. Or

was she really dreaming?

She looked around. Without the bright lights on, she

could see into the other half of the room. The studio

was only on the left side. The voices were coming from

the right side of the room. Alex wanted to walk over

to them and pull them back. They were in danger but

they didn't know it. They were calling her to join

them.

Then she saw Petunia, as she had last seen her.

Hanging by her legs, head down, her blood flowing into

a large square drain on the floor. Like the one in the

floor on the right side of the room. The big dark

drain there under the block and tackle hanging from the

ceiling.

Alex called out for her Daddy. She was back in the

barn at home. Daddy would save her. Her voice echoed

back at her. There weren't echoes in the barn. She

knew. She had tried over and over as a child but had

never found an echo in there.

It looked like the barn. Over there was the butcher

shop. There was the big drain that had that funny

acrid smell of old blood that tickled her nose. There

was the big grinder for the sausages. And the neat row

of the silvery little ear tags that Daddy cut out of

the slaughtered animals ears to identify them, eight of

them, all lined up, but the rings were too small,

somehow.

Over there were the coiled hoses for cleaning the floor

and flushing all the ground up guts, hooves and other

useless parts down the drain. The sharp knives were

hanging in order on the wall, not on a big bench like

Daddy's. The knives were for skinning and the saws

were to cut through the thick bones. Gleaming and

sharp. But not old, like Daddy's. These were new. Of

course. This was a dream. Petunia was here. Petunia

was dead. And the girls. All his pets and Petunia.

Calling her. Come join them.

In spite of the discomfort, Alex slept. And dreamed.

In the quiet of the third basement, no one heard her

pitiful wailing for the dead girls. And Petunia.

The cold water blasting at her from a high pressure

hose woke Alex the next morning. Damon was pissed that

she had slept. He had been too needy and had allowed

that fucking lesbian Dom to seduced him. In

retrospect, though, it had been a good pairing of

almost equals. It had been a dangerous but exhausting

dance they had done, and it had taken longer than he

had planned. They had dallied and dallied again. He

had forgotten the girl.

The damage wasn't too severe. She woke nicely, and the

look of terror that had crossed her face brought a

twitch of life to his cock. It was about time she

showed some fear. He had dragged her over to the other

side of the room and positioned her above the drain.

That was after he had slapped her several times trying

to wake her. He wasn't surprised she was dead to the

world. Four days of constant stimulation without sleep

will do that to you.

When that had failed he had spied the hoses. No sense

making a mess, so he moved the frame she was bound to

over here and turned the hose on her. She had come to

with a start, looked down, and voided herself from

terror. Good thing she was already over the drain, he

congratulated himself. He hated to clean up shit.

Mr. Smith released her. Her terror abated and he led

her, dripping and stinking up to the apartment and let

her shower. She was beginning to feel almost human

again. The only problem was that she was still

hypersensitive. Everything aroused her. She decided

she needed to be fucked.

When she went through to her cage to get dressed, she

noticed his room smelled like sex. The sheets were

messed up and there were some leather garments that

weren't his size. She remembered the beautiful woman

from yesterday. She was happy for Mr. Smith. She

hoped the woman had pleased him. Alex automatically

changed his sheets and cleaned up the room. She folded

the leather vest and chaps neatly and put them in a

paper bag. Going into the dining area, she set them by

his plate without a word, without a glance.

He was watching her to see if she was jealous. It

would be interesting to see if she was. He could use

it. He was disappointed. Her eyes looked at him as

they always had. Clear and open, willing to give,

wanting to please. Not judging him at all.

He had had her dress in her skimpy skirt, her blouse

and high heels. He told her to go back and put on some

make up, like the man had showed her yesterday. She

had to go back three times before she had it right.

First it wasn't enough, next it was too much and the

last time, he was just being ornery. She could tell.

They went upstairs to the club. Except for Alvin, it

was empty. Mr. Smith turned on the music, the music

the others had danced to. She knew what he wanted.

She wanted it, too.

It was her best dance yet. He was pleased. He was

aroused. Even in the shadows she could see him, see

the swelling that indicated his arousal. From the dark

corner of the club she saw a glint of gold. Alvin was

watching her dance, the first time, from a corner where

Mr. Smith couldn't see him. It made her feel safe,

knowing he was there.

She danced over to his stool and he bound her. She was

ready, needy. Hot. She pleaded with him to take her,

use her.

Damon looked down at the shivering bitch. One more

chance, then it was gloves off. He held out the

clipboard with the forms for her to sign. She begged

for understanding with her eyes. She had explained to

him, to the voices. She couldn't give him what wasn't

hers to give.

He was displeased. But she was there, begging for it

and he had waited patiently. He pushed her down onto

her knees. She went willingly, bending her head

towards his groin, anxious to take him as she had

received no other man. Damon slapped her and she went

down, ass high in the air, wanting him. She lay there,

waiting, whimpering, begging.

He dropped his pants, his need suddenly impelling.

Without warning he thrust into her sopping cunt. The

fisting yesterday had convinced him he needn't worry

about her accommodating him, not that he would have.

He held her head pinned to the floor while he pulled

the belt from his pants. It was good quality leather,

smooth and supple. He looped it, holding both ends in

one hand. With the other hand, he grabbed a handful of

her red hair. He yanked her head up roughly and

slipped the belt around her neck.

Slowly he withdrew from her depths, watching as the

folds of her pink flesh clasped at him, trying to keep

him inside of her. With the same slow speed he moved

back into her, pushing in to the maximum depth, nudging

against her hard cervix. Her body eagerly accepted

him.

Damon was glad now he had spent the time with the Dom

last night. The urgency was gone and he would last a

long time. He wondered idly, as he fucked slowly in

and out of the bitch under him, what it would take to

break the Dom? She would make a challenging pet. How

could he get her on his machine? What lure could he

use?

Slipping his hand down he tightened the belt around her

neck. He wasn't close yet. He wanted to give her a

thrill. He heard the rasping of her breath as her

airway was closed, then there was only silence.

Regardless of the training, when threatened, instinct

takes over. It was what thrilled him, watching the

poor bitches fighting their own instincts for survival.

As expected, his new pet fought for air. With her

hands tied behind her and him pinning her down with his

weight, she couldn't do much but buck up and down As

she fought for her life, her cunt muscles tightened and

shuddered so pleasingly on his hard cock. He could

feel the fight, the need, the hunger for air. He was

in control. He felt the familiar rush, the thrill of

this one moment, like none other.

He held the belt tight until she stopped struggling,

then waited a beat more. Then, releasing the pressure

of his hand on the back of her neck he let her breathe.

In a great gasp, the bitch filled her starved lungs,

gulping for several moments.

Damon saw Alvin standing by the stage. He looked at

his new friend and grinned.

"The slut gives a good ride," he said. "I felt her cum
when I strangled her. The little slut. She loves

this."

The black man just stood there. He was an enigma. Why

was he watching?

Damon pulled out of her cunt and the pet moaned,

begging for more. She had thanked him when she could

talk again, when she had air. What a fucking slut!

He knew she had been in a constant state of orgasm from

the first thrust. He had felt it. He placed his tool

against her tight sphincter and pressed in. There was

only a slight hesitation and then she relaxed, allowing

him easy entry. She really was a slut. He told her

she was.

He pumped faster now, his own need building. The belt

tightened around her neck again. It would stay there

this time until he came. His pet bucked and thrashed,

fighting for air. It was so good. She quit fighting

but her ass was still clenching at him, pulling him.

He exploded into her. As he came down from his

wondrous release, he slowly let the belt loosen. The

pet lay still under him. He looked up at Alvin and

shrugged his shoulders, a heavy lethargy settling over

him. No great loss, really. But what a rush!

With a sudden gasp, the cyanotic girl started to

breathe. Oh, well, just as well she was still alive.

He'd have had to forge the signatures and that wasn't

an easy thing to do. They tended to check those things

very carefully for a five million dollar payout,

especially on a sudden death so soon after the policy

went into force. They wouldn't like it at all.

He got off the gasping figure. He didn't notice the

big black man, wound as tight as a coiled spring, relax

slightly or see him slip the deadly blade that was

hidden in his huge fist back into his pocket.

"Here. You want a piece? On the house. The slut

likes it and likes it rough. Just not her mouth.

Clean her up and put her away when you're done," he

tossed off carelessly, got dressed and left the club.

He had an idea how to get the Dom into his clutches.

It was early evening when Alvin finally lay her gently

down in her small room. She had clung to him on the

stage after he had freed her, still needy. She would

have given herself to him willingly, if he had wanted.

But he didn't take her. He wanted her, and he let her

know that he did.

She had needed that reassurance right then, and it

would have been hard to lie, anyway. She had her head

in his lap and she would nuzzle him, bleating softly,

cooing against his thickening member. But this wasn't

the way he wanted her. He let her sleep, holding her,

crying with her until she fell asleep. She was still

catching up from the deprivation and stress of the last

four days, gaining strength, but she was still

susceptible to Mr. D' manipulations of her.

Alvin what it was she was holding onto so tightly that

let her survive this long. He couldn't imagine going

through all of this and still being able to refuse to

sign those damn papers. As she had cried herself to

sleep, she had repeated one thing over and over. He

had trouble catching the soft sounds as she mumbled

into his chest. The words were almost a mantra, said

over and over. Finally, just as she was nodding off,

he heard what it was.

She was repeating three words to herself as she rocked

back and forth, "Not a slut, not a slut."

She woke as he laid her down on the low sleeping mat.

Her hands were still free. With a lurch she grabbed

his neck and pulled him down. He was off balance and

landed, with an effort, beside her and just managed not

to crush her beneath him. Giggling, she made him roll

over onto his back.

He thought she would get on top of him and initiate

sex, but she didn't. If she had, he wouldn't have

stopped her. She turned her head toward him and

motioned with her eyes. It took him a couple of times

before he understood. Turning his head away from her,

he looked up. All he could see was the bottom of the

shelf above his head and some writing. A list. Some

carpenters had used this little plank for some notes or

something. Probably a lunch order or a football pool.

When they needed a piece of scrap for the shelf, they

had used the good surface on top, leaving the

scribbling underneath. It was done all the time.

He looked back at her and frowned, questioning her.

What was there? She again motioned with her eyes. He

looked again. There was nothing in that direction but

the shelf. As he was looking back at her, a name from

the past jumped at him.

He gave a strangled cry. It scared her as he started

shaking suddenly, sobbing. In a complete reversal of

their roles to this point, she was now the one giving

comfort to him, holding his bald head in her arms as

the bitterness and frustration of all those years

poured out. They were rocking together, crying, their

tears mingling on the floor.

It was a struggle, but he got himself under control.

All these years. He had known in his gut it was here.

The trail had run cold, but he had stuck it out.

Against all evidence and no evidence, he knew she had

been here. And now, finally, here was the proof. She

had been here, in this room. He had seen her driver's

license, but had not understood. The memory of their

tender love flooded over him again. He felt like he

had just been kicked in the nuts. He rolled in pain,

then groaned and knelt over the teary-eyed girl.

He leaned over her to shackle her down for the night.

As his ear was over her face she whispered to him.

"Think I'd get an Oscar, now?"

He looked quickly at her face. Her eyes were clear,

focused. She was looking up at him steadily and

sanely. They both knew she would soon be lost for the

night when he started the pendulum. But right now, she

was here with him, in control, if only for the moment.

He nodded at her, grinning. He held up his fingers.

Two. She laughed.

Closing the door on her, he said a prayer for the brave

little girl. One thing puzzled him. The list of

names. He knew the name of the last pet Mr. D had

here. He had seen her name on the list. But not on

the bottom. He had expected to see Miss Alex' name

there at the bottom, but it wasn't. The last name was

just a single name. A flower. Petunia.

The next two days were repeats. Mr. Smith would have

her dance. He would ask her to sign the papers and she

would refuse, as politely as she could, knowing it

would anger him. He would then verbally and sexually

abuse her, strangling her with his thick belt. She

never failed to cum when he did that to her. She never

failed to cum when he did anything to her, anymore.

She began to question if she was a slut. She never

failed to thank him when he got dressed and left the

club. He didn't hear her. His plans for the Dom were

coming together. And in a couple of days he would

start the last phase of the plan for Harold and Marcy.

The sooner the better, too. They were costing him a

bundle.

By the end of the third day, she saw Alvin's worried

face looking down on her. He didn't know what the

program was Mr. Smith had her on now. She wasn't aware

of it, but none of the other pets had gone through what

she had been put through the last three days. Those

pets had been cherished, pampered women, had the finest

of everything. Beautiful, sexy, obedient. None had

been abused like Alex was being abused. And it was

abuse. He had no doubts about that.

She was tired but managed to grasp his thumb and give

him a reassuring squeeze. He smiled at her, knowing

what it took from her to think of him. But it was a

worried smile she saw.

She was frightened at first when he didn't start the

pendulum. But soon, the fright gave way to a restless

sleep. The voices were still arguing with her, but

tonight they weren't as loud. After a fitful start,

she fell into the first peaceful sleep she had had in a

long time.

In the back of her mind was the nagging worry that

whatever Mr. Smith had planned for tomorrow must be

very bad, if he was being so nice now. But tomorrow

was later. Right now, she could sleep.
