THE USUAL WARNINGS:

This is a work of fiction by a twisted mind. If you

are offended by graphic descriptions of natural and/or

unnatural sexual acts, if you are underage, or if this

type of material is illegal where you are, don't read

any further.

This is a fantasy. You will have to loosen your clench

on reality a little when you read it. This is a tale in

which physical acts and human responses are not limited

to, nor necessarily based in, reality. Some acts and

responses in this story may be physically impossible

and/or physiologically improbable.

Also, as is the case with most of the stories in this

newsgroup, all the women in this story are beautiful -

gorgeous, even. Gravity has not caused breasts to

droop nor have wrinkles creased unblemished faces. The

men (the leading men, at least) are hung like bulls.

They can get it up and keep it up often and at will.

In this special little fantasyland, there are no STDs,

morals, or unwanted pregnancies. Guilt is a four-

letter word. Most important of all, neither strength

of character, courage of convictions, nor moral belief

stand a chance against any erotic stimulus. This can

be as benign as an accidental glimpse of a bared ankle

or as stimulating as a whipping on the genitals.

For those of you who didn't understand the preceding

statements, GO AWAY!

This story is intended for the salacious entertainment

Introduction

Acknowledgement: This story has been developed and

written over a period of several years. I would like

to thank "Leviticus" for his encouragement to finish

writing this, for his help in making the characters

seem a little more real, for his insight into the

situations in which the characters find themselves and

making their reactions plausible. My apologies to

Leviticus if I have assumed the wrong gender.... :)

This is a work of adult fiction. The situations the

characters find themselves in are, at times, explicitly

sexual and/or traumatic. There is some violence, but,

while graphic, I have tried not to be too explicit.

There is some underage sexual contact, both consenting

and non-consenting. Again, it is an integral part of

the story, but it is not the focal point.

This is not a `stroke' story, but it has its moments.

Many different elements of the human sexual experience

are included at one point or another, with BDSM playing

a major role. The story would best be described as a

BDSM romance novel.

Nothing and no one is real in this story, but all

places and settings mentioned may have a basis in

reality. For example, this story takes place on the

Eastern Coast of the United States. That is a real

place. The exact towns and states the characters live

in are not named, as they don't exist. The one

exception is Washington, DC, but no one can tell fact

from fiction there anyway, so who cares?

The concert hall is based on the one in Wuerzburg,

Germany, or at least as I remember it. There is a city

named Punta Arenas at the southern tip of Chile, but

the prison and the commandant mentioned in this story
are imaginary. The Middle Eastern country, as well as

the characters from there, are made up, as are the

cultural rituals described. The Yankees are a real

baseball team, but the player and the farm club

mentioned are not. The medical devices in this story
unfortunately do not exist.

The reason for the title "Sandcastles" will become

apparent after many, many chapters. My apologies to

the author of "Castle in the Sand", an excellent work

and one of my favorites, for the similarity in the

titles. I can only hope the quality of my writing

comes as close.

This story may not be posted or re-posted without my

expressed written permission. It is expressly

forbidden to post it on a pay site.

It is my hope that you enjoy this story. If you don't,

write a better one. I would enjoy reading it.

Chapter 1

It had been a really rough day. The crying children and

screaming parents hadn't been the worst of it. You get

that at little league games and parent/teacher

conferences all the time. What had made this particular

day so rough was the silence. It was the kind of

catatonic listlessness that could suck the love right

out of you as you helplessly watched a young girl
teeter on the brink between a life-long series of

nightmares and fears or of taking the beginning steps

in the long process of recovery. That is, if you can

call what a woman's life becomes after being on the

receiving end of a brutal sexual assault a 'recovery.'

I had looked helplessly into vacant eyes that just

yesterday had been full of sparkle and hope and more

than a touch of mischief, now dulled without a glimmer

of life or vitality.

I lay sleepless in bed with Sally, my girlfriend of

about 18 months after that seemingly endless night at

the hospital, of filling out medical forms, insurance

forms, police forms, and so on. Everybody wanted

details. I shuddered to think of all the closet

perverts who would have access to the lurid details of

the gruesome incident. I wondered which of those

innocent records would turn up later to continue to

ruin her life. Having exhausted all the sheep I could

count, I masochistically reviewed the events of the

past 12 or so hours as I tried to fall asleep.

***

Janey had tried to slip into the house unnoticed, home

early from her date. She was my girlfriend's daughter
and had been her 15th birthday. Sally had reluctantly

agreed to let her 'baby' go on her first real date, as

her rule had always been no 'couple' dates until Janey

was 16 years old. This time there would be no other

couple, no chaperones. Just the two kids. There would

be others at the party, and then, well, whatever. Sally

should have listened to her fears. The date had been a

disaster.

We were waiting up for Janey to get home. We, Sally,

actually, had a surprise birthday gift to give her,

along with a cake and a candle. I benefited from this

special occasion as well, as I got to spend the night

with Sally, an unusual liberty for a weekday. Even

after 18 months of serious dating, Sally still held me

at arm's length and I normally only saw Janey when our

weekend schedules collided at the house. Janey was an

active teenager in her first year of High School,

popular, pretty, and vivacious. It seemed every second

of her life was a flurry of activity, so she was gone

much of the time.

I sometimes thought that if it weren't for Sally's

strong sexual needs, and her own recognition of them,

she wouldn't have let anyone - much less me - into her

life at all. Don't get me wrong. She was loving,

sensual, caring, and, honestly, the best lover I could

ever want. Certainly, she was by far the best woman I

had ever had the pleasure of loving. Nothing was out of

bounds, sexually at least, and things were heading

towards a more permanent arrangement. At least, I

sincerely hoped so.

But there was always a wall that kept me from getting

too close or too comfortable, a barrier I couldn't get

through, over or around. Sally, although she admitted

it was there, simply wouldn't discuss it. The two weeks

of gentle, but firm celibacy that were sure to follow

each time I brought it up, with the threat of a

permanently celibate status if I ever brought it up

again, let me know in no uncertain terms that the

matter was off limits. I was left with the assumption

that someone, probably a man, had hurt her terribly. I

was pretty sure I was in the clear, but I was

definitely paying the price for the bastard's deed.

Hearing the front door open and quietly close, and the

'beep beep' of the alarm being set, we sneaked down the

hall bearing our gifts, cake and a lighted candle. We

sprang into the teenager's darkened bedroom with shouts

of "Surprise!" The strained melody of an off-key duet

of "Happy Birthday to You" died out as we both saw her

at the same instant. Janey was curled in a tiny ball on

the floor at the foot of her bed.

I caught the wrapped gift, the cake and the candle that

were tossed in my general direction as Sally moved

instinctively to hold her daughter. Janey was covered

in blood, mostly from the stomach down, the sticky red
streaks thicker on the inside of her legs. The bodice

of her pretty new party dress was missing a couple of

buttons, and the one sleeve I could see was torn. Her

birthday dress was ruined.

I was already headed down the hall for the telephone

when I heard Sally's crisp "Call 9-1-1." I had always

admired her for that. Unlike most women I had known,

she didn't fall apart in a crisis. She stayed calm,

took charge, assessed the situation, made the hard

decisions and never doubted them. Even afterwards, she

wouldn't doubt the decisions she had made during a

crisis. I knew, and more importantly, Janey knew, that

Sally would take care of Janey now.

Several things went through my head as to what type of

accident could have caused her injuries. Call me

innocent, ignorant or na‹ve, but a traumatic rape was

not even on my list of possibilities. It just didn't

enter my mind. It is not something I would do under any

circumstances, and I guess I just expected other

civilized men to behave in a similar manner towards

women. Especially the women I loved.

Sally must have known how I would react to the news she

was about to break, as she waited to tell me until we

were alone in one of those family rooms they have at

hospitals with no windows and only one door. She had

found me sitting in those horribly uncomfortable chairs

designed to increase patient traffic at chiropractic

offices. She stood with her back to the only exit,

blocking me in the room. I looked up at her, hoping she

was going to rescue me from the mindless fare of cable

network news and 5 year old magazines. I had listened

through three or four repetitions of the tops news

stories of the day. Today's hot news was the annual

governor's congress in Washington, D.C. and their

concern over the recent sharp rise in missing

teenagers, mostly girls, apparently runaways.

I had been brutally stunned as Sally quietly informed

me that the police were sending over a specialist in

sexual assaults to talk with Janey and us about the

attack. Janey had been raped. She told me later that my

reaction had severely frightened her. She grudgingly

admitted that she had underestimated the depth and

strength of my feelings. She knew I cared about Janey,

and that I would be upset. She was unprepared for my

reaction. I was livid, horrified. It was extremely

personal. Even more, I was in a murderous rage I

couldn't and didn't want to shake off.

I now understood justifiable homicide. If I am ever

honored to be selected for a jury trial of a parent who

killed or maimed the person who had injured their

child, I will vote not to convict, but to award a Medal

of Honor to that parent.

Funny thing, I didn't see red when I had heard what had

happened to Janey. I saw nothing. I felt nothing. It

was simply as if a switch had been flipped and the

whole world had just stopped existing. My only thought

was to avenge that innocent little girl's pain. It was

the first time Sally had seen me cry, but I don't

remember. I'll take her word for it.

Sally calmly continued to say that the hospital staff

was surprised that most of the blood on Janey had not

been her own, but apparently the attacker's. Janey had

a few ugly bruises, and had some bleeding from

abrasions in and around her vaginal area. She had been

brutally penetrated, their words, but there was no

semen present. Both the OB/GYN and the emergency

physician thought she would heal in time. Physically,

anyway.

Seeing my blank, uncomprehending stare and my tight

grip on the arms of the chair, she told me what she had

been able to put together of the events that had

transpired on her daughter's birthday.

Janey's date, Steven, was a big hotshot football player

a couple of years older than Janey. They had met

because he was a star player and she was a cheerleader.

As a freshman, she was the youngest girl on the squad

by two years. She was smart, talented and friendly to

everyone. From the first day of school, Janey had been

besieged with requests for dates, which she had

graciously turned down. She knew her Mom's rule.

Although she had to refuse to go on the dates, Janey

had that gracious ability to make each of her suitors

feel glad just to know her. She somehow sensed the

emotional trauma a rejection could cause a teenage male

ego and she let them know that she was the one who was

privileged to have been asked out. The guys she turned

down liked her more after than before. She was

developing quite a following for a freshman. She was

levelheaded about the attention; not what you would

call boy-crazy, although there were some boys that made

her heart beat a just little faster when they called

the house. However, all her other girlfriends were

seriously infected with that peculiar teenage disease,

and Janey sort of went along.

Peer pressure is a terrible force in a teen's life,

and, because of her status as a cheerleader, Janey was

'expected' to date, among other things, as we were to

discover shortly. When Steven asked her out for a

special birthday party in her honor, she felt not only

honored, but also somewhat obligated to ask her mom for

permission to go. She and her mom had a long-standing

agreement that Janey would not date 'solo' until she

was 16, but her persistence wore down Sally's

resistance. She was allowed to go this one time, with

the explicit understanding that this was an exception,

a one time only deal.

The date had started innocently. It was a party,

supposedly in her honor at the head cheerleader's home,

whose parents were conveniently 'out.' The punch, later

discovered to be spiked, had flowed freely. It was only

because of Janey's nervousness that she had only had

one glass. Steven had quite a few, as had the rest of

the revelers.

Because it was a school night, curfew for Janey was

11:00 p.m. and they left the party about 9:00. Steven

had driven to a popular make-out spot, deserted because

it was a weekday, and had tried to kiss her. At first

she was flattered, thrilled that the popular older boy
she admired was paying her all this attention. However,

when he made a rough grab at her breasts, bruising the

tender flesh and drunkenly tearing her sleeve, she told

him to stop and that she wanted to go home. Now. Janey

was frightened, but not stupid, and several things

about the evening just didn't add up. Suddenly

realizing the whole evening had been a sham to get her

alone with this boy-turned-animal added to the guilt

she felt afterward.

Surprisingly, the boy had backed off right away,

started the car and left the make-out area. She relaxed

just a bit, thinking she may have been wrong about him

and the odd events at the party. She always thought the

best about people and she gave him the benefit of the

doubt. The damage to her dress was minimal and no one

would see her breasts. She was already beginning to put

this evening behind her.

Janey and her mom live out in the country a ways, close

enough to be convenient, far enough away to be left

alone by all but the most determined salesmen. On the

road to the house, just before the turnoff into the

long driveway, there is a dark stretch of road that

parallels the river. All along this stretch there are

private, isolated spots where you can pull just a few

feet off the road, and your car is all but hidden from

passersby. Steven pulled into one of those suddenly,

and turned to his surprised passenger.

He hadn't even waited for her to resist before he

slapped her several times across the face. Whether the

hard blows stunned her or knocked her out wasn't clear.

The next thing she remembered, she was flat on her back

on the ground next to the car with her party dress

bunched up under her armpits. Her bra had been pulled

down around her waist, the straps ripped off. The force

of pulling it down had dug the straps deeply into her

shoulders before they snapped, bruising the tender

skin.

She felt pain. Steven was mauling and biting her tits,

causing terrible pains to shoot from the sensitive

organs. There was a particularly sharp rock poking her

in her left shoulder blade and another one right in the

small of her back. With his additional 240 pounds

pressing down on top of her, the rocks were really

digging in.

The most intense pain came from between her legs. With

no preliminaries, Steven had ripped her panties down

her legs and shoved his prick into her virgin pussy.

The damage done was not due to his size. He had only

been 3, maybe 4 inches long when erect and not real

thick - a true 'pencil dick.' His penis size didn't

match his ego and it may have contributed to his

frustrations with his life. Never having learned to

deal with his own inadequacies, he covered them by

bullying people and forcing himself on others.

The damage had been due to Janey being tight and dry.

His angle had been off, as well as his aim, plus he had

used excessive force when he finally did manage to find

the virgin mouth of her vagina. The OB/GYN estimated he

must have made 10-15 forceful stabs before finding the

hole and gaining entrance, as Janey was bruised all

over, including the area around her anus. Apparently,

the boy's frustrations had increased to a frantic

level, and when he found an opening or anything closely

resembling one, he rammed his prick in with all of his

considerable strength. I shudder to think what would

have happened to her had she been conscious and moving

about.

Sally had talked with Janey about sex, and boys, and

the difference between love and sex. She had also

included talks about rape, so Janey figured out pretty

quick what was going on. Like her mother, she kept her

wits about her, even in this terrifying situation.

In spite of the pain she was in, she first took stock

of her surroundings. Turning her head to the side, she

could see the open door of the car, the dome light

casting a dim illumination on the crime scene. She

could see her torn panties hanging like a trophy on the

rear view mirror, and, strangely, his slacks and shorts

folded neatly on the car seat.

A desperate plan formed in her mind. Again, like her

mother, she made a decision and implemented the plan.

She began 'ooohhhing' and 'aaaaahhing' in his ear. Her

hips, painful though it was for her, thrust up to meet

his. Although she had never fucked before, she

responded with the natural rhythms of a fertile female

in heat. The blood oozing from the tears in her vagina
lubricated her brutal mating with the rapist somewhat,

convincing him she was responding to his efforts.

When he saw what she was doing, he had laughed at her,

thinking she was responding to his rape like the slut

he thought all women were. He said as much, calling her

a slut, a whore and a bitch. His callous words would

hurt her more and for a longer time than the injuries

he was inflicting, but right then they steeled her

resolve to go through with her plan.

With much panting and moaning, Janey convinced him to

go at her from behind. Again, it wasn't clear if she

was offering him her asshole to cum in so she wouldn't

get pregnant, or simply to do it 'doggie style.' It

wasn't important. She just knew she needed him to get

off her and let her get up for a split second.

He let her stand up and she wasted no time putting her

plan into action. Sally had dragged me to the

occasional Friday night high school ball game where I

had seen Janey doing the energetic cheerleading

routines, jumping around excitedly in her short skirt

and tight sweater. I had seen how high she could kick,

practically doing the splits standing up, her foot

ending well above her head. Most guys underestimate

just how much energy goes into cheerleading, how toned

and muscled those young women have to be to perform at

that level for two to three hours straight. I had seen

just a few of the hours of practice Janey and the

others put in when I had spent the occasional weekend

at Sally's. Steven had not.

As soon as Janey got up, she stepped up to him, making

it look as if she wanted to kiss him on the cheek

before getting down on her hands and knees. She leaned

her full firm breasts into him during the kiss, pushing

him off balance a bit. Instinctively, he steadied

himself against this unexpected, but lovely pressure.

His legs automatically spread to about shoulder width

apart to keep his balance. That was the opening she

needed. Like most men dealing with an angry woman,

Steven never knew what hit him.

Janey turned as if to face away from him, appearing to

be getting down into position to continue fucking. Then

suddenly, she wheeled and with all the force in her

long, tight legs and with all the murderous anger in

her heart, she brought her foot up into his groin.

Straight legged. Her aim was dead on, just slightly to

the right of center. He must have lifted several inches

off the ground.

Janey said there was no sound. He did not cry out. The

only sounds in the still night air, other than his

escaping breath, was the squish of a mashing testicle

and the soft pop of a ruptured penis. He dropped like a

stone where he stood.

Janey then did something that amazed every adult, other

than Steven's parents, who heard of it. Rather than

running away, leaving him there to bleed to death, she

got his cell phone and dialed 9-1-1. On the playback of

the tape, you could hear Janey, who didn't identify

herself, calmly tell the operator exactly where the

injured person was and the extent of his injuries.

After the call she rolled up his slacks and shorts as a

pillow for his head, walked a short distance away to

where she could see but not be seen, waited until she

saw the ambulance arrive, then finished walking the

short distance home.

I continued to stare wordlessly at Sally as her tale
came to a close. I had slowly come to my senses

somewhere in the middle when she had said Janey would

be OK physically. The physical injuries to the boy
mitigated some of my murderous rage towards him. I no

longer wanted to kill him, but I seriously resented his

one surviving testicle. Even one ball was too much for

that raping bastard. The thought flickered through my

mind about how much it would take to bribe the surgeon

to make a tiny slip with the scalpel and finish the

job. In talking with the surgeon later, a woman with a

teenaged daughter of her own, she admitted she was

sorry she had not known the details of his 'accident'

prior to her repair work on him in the OR. She had been

told it was an auto accident. She coldly admitted she

would have done it for nothing. Off the record, of

course.

As I watched Sally finish telling me the events of the

night, I became aware of a dangerous level of emotional

tension inside her, bordering on exhaustion. Mentally

chastising myself for my incredible thoughtlessness and

selfishness, I began to consider how she had to be

feeling. She was ready to split apart with fear and

anger, but felt she had to be strong and hold together

for Janey. She couldn't let go until Janey was out of

danger, or until she could hand off responsibility to

someone else. I felt the most important thing I could

do for both of them was to focus on Sally and try to

ease her pain and anguish. I held my arms open to her,

inviting her into them.

Sally looked up at me, and I realized then that she had

not looked me in the eye throughout the whole

recitation. As I looked into those beautiful blue eyes,

I saw her pain and anger, which I expected to see. I

also saw hate. It was a bitter, acrid hate inclusive of

all males, including me. It took a supreme effort, but

I didn't flinch when I realized her state of mind nor

did I take back the open-armed invitation of a hug. I

was well aware I had just invited a madwoman bent on

killing or seriously hurting something or someone to

come stand next to my unprotected body.

Sally didn't move for a long moment, leaving us frozen

in that estranged tableau. Then, with a small step, she

moved in my direction. Hoping she wouldn't notice, I

took a small step towards her, closing my legs in the

process and turning my hips slightly to the side. I

wasn't sure how far that 'like mother, like daughter'

thing went. It wouldn't protect my privates against a

hard driving knee, but it was better than singing

soprano. Permanently.

Continuing to glare hatefully into my eyes, she small-

stepped into my arms, ending with her face upturned. It

was not a face I particularly wanted to kiss at that

moment, but it was definitely one that needed it. As I

lowered my defenseless face towards that venomous

expression, I mentally pictured my lips being shredded

by those fine sharp white teeth that had teasingly

tormented me so many times during sex play. Call me a

fool, but I ignored warning signs that would have made

a sane man make out a Last Will and Testament. I skated

out onto the thin ice with abandon. Without hesitation.

Hell, I was in love with the woman.

Miraculously, I felt no immediate pain. I thought that

maybe my senses were dulled by the lateness of the hour

and the uncomfortable hospital chairs. I was resigned

to being the punching bag for her to vent her anger,

and I knew she was capable of doing almost anything in

her current frame of mind. Her quivering body was as

tense as a bowstring as my arms slowly enfolded her to

hold her gently, but firmly against my racing heart. It

felt as if I was holding an atomic bomb, and I was

probably about as safe. I put my body at her disposal

for her to vent her anger on as she saw fit.

My lips lightly brushed her dry ones. That kiss was not

in the least bit sexual. Too much fear, pain and sorrow

were around us right now. I was simply making myself a

sacrificial offering on the altar of her vengeance.

Believe me, it was a ritual of trust. Hopefully, it

would be a bloodless ritual.

Warm, wet, salty. I tasted it tentatively. Not blood.

Only slightly relieved, I opened my tightly clenched

eyes, apparently having squeezed them shut in

anticipation and preparation of bearing much pain. Her

eyes were closed, too. And leaking. Her tears began as

a trickle, but soon flooded her face and my chest. No

sobs, no hysteria. Just tears. My tears mingled with

hers.

I don't know how long we stood like that, but the

police officer in charge of the investigation finally

found us to let us know they had been able to

corroborate Janey's account of the evening's events.

Startled, we asked why they would need to be

corroborated. He filled us in on the latest sick twist

in the story.

Steven's parents, his father a big-shot lawyer, his

mother high on the social ladder and forever clawing

her way higher, had filed 'Assault and Battery' charges

against Janey, even before they knew the details of

what had happened. They were insistent upon filing them

and wanted Janey arrested and held in the juvenile

section county jail. The police were helpless to do

otherwise and were going to arrest her until they found

Janey's blood at the scene, right where she said the

rape had happened. With that, and some other things,

that supported her story, the cops held off.

Tests showed that Steven's blood alcohol level was over

the legal limit for an adult, way over for an underage

driver. Testimony from witnesses at the faux-party

unknowingly supported Janey. The partygoers made their

damaging statements thinking Steven had 'scored' with

her. The torn panties on the mirror were identified by

them as blue before anyone at the party should have

known. Actually, the partygoers had made snide remarks

about Janey 'crying rape' even before our 911 call had

been made. Alcohol and lies don't mix.

His parents had weakened under the weight of the

evidence, but the clincher was when the surgeon sewing

him up pulled a rather large chunk of foreign tissue

out of his piss hole. Tissue typing proved it was a

piece of her cherry. The force with which he had rammed

into her had shoved a torn fragment of her hymen way up

inside of his urethra. As he hadn't ejaculated, it was

still there.

There was no way it wasn't rape. There was no way it

wasn't self-defense on her part. There was no way their

spoiled little boy wasn't going to jail, with or

without Janey's testimony. The pretty-faced 18-year-old

pencil-dick was going to make someone a nice

'girlfriend' at the State Penitentiary. The rookie

officer, apparently having experienced the father in

court on previous cases, seemed smugly pleased with

that part of the outcome.

The ride home in the wee hours was quiet. Sally bundled

Janey into the house, a hot bath and bed, seemingly in

one continuous motion. She never left Janey alone but

didn't crowd her. It wasn't until Janey was soundly

asleep that Sally crawled into bed beside me.

Like I said, it had been a rough day.

Chapter 2

If I thought the night before had been rough, the next

couple of days made what happened then almost seem like

a vacation. Almost. Sally was so preoccupied with Janey

she could think of nothing else. Janey, for her part,

apparently couldn't think at all. She wouldn't react,

wouldn't talk, and wouldn't move. She just lay there.

Sally was able to clean her gently every day, although

only behind a locked door, and gently force a few bites

of food down her, but other than that, nothing.

I was beginning to be very afraid for Sally. Hell, I

was afraid for both of them. I was able, after a couple

of days, to spell Sally on her vigil beside Janey's

bed, but only after I promised to sit out of Janey's

direct line of sight. Sally was adamant about that. If

Janey woke up, I was to get Sally immediately and not

let Janey see me.

I didn't fully understand it, but apparently it was

possible for Janey to transfer her hate for Steven and

what he had done to her to all things male, including

me. It hurt me terribly. Not as much as she was

hurting, obviously, but I couldn't understand how I,

who cared for her and loved her, could be lumped in

with all the rest.

The first night that I sat in for Sally passed

uneventfully. Janey didn't stir once. The doctor had

been there earlier in the day, along with a rape

counselor, and both Janey and Sally were resting

comfortably with the aid of mild sedatives. It was a

long night, and, I am not ashamed to admit, I took

advantage of the solitude and darkness as I shed more

than a few tears over the shattered girl.

The next day I asked the counselor if it would be OK to

talk to Janey. Since she wasn't responding very much,

and would be sedated anyway, would it help or hurt? The

harried lady shrugged and said it probably couldn't

hurt. As long as she didn't react violently to the

sound of my voice, it might actually help. I thought

that an odd statement, but I decided to try to talk to

Janey during the night.

That night I sat by her bed, a little closer than the

night before. I started speaking very softly, hoping

not to startle her, which I didn't. I talked to her

about lots of things. I tried to go through every

memory I had of her, every time we had together. I told

her what she was wearing, who she had been with and

what was said. I told her of the pride and admiration I

felt when I watched her perform at her games. I

recounted each and every game and competition where I

had seen her. Then I started going through the meals we

had shared. And so on. I was amazed at all the details

I could recall about this girl I had watched grow into

a young woman.

Towards morning, after about seven to eight hours of

speaking quietly to her, I sensed a change in her. At

first I thought she had moved and was about to go get

her Mom, but then I noticed she was still asleep. She

seemed to be breathing easier, but how I would I know

that? I didn't analyze it a lot, but somehow, I

instinctively knew that Janey was going to be OK. It

was like I could sense her feelings or her aura or some

shit. Weird, I know.

It was during this time of slow recovery that all Hell

broke loose. The news of Janey's incident made the

local, state, and eventually the national news. It hit

the national news wires after the half-assed local

police investigation accidentally found that this had

been an organized plot involving several other

students. Due to the political connections of some of

the alleged participant's parents, the local police

panicked and the FBI was called in. They used the

excuse that this had been an attempted kidnapping.

What the local police had uncovered was that it had

been a contest for money. The prize was several

thousands of dollars, but with the money these kids

had, that was secondary. Winning, at any price, was

number one. Apparently, all the male athletes - the

jocks - put $100 a piece into a pot at the beginning of

each school year. It was not an option. No one was

forced to participate in the actual contest, but they

didn't stay healthy very long if they didn't

contribute. The first jock to fuck all twelve of that

year's cheerleaders won the pot.

Janey, being a freshman, was the only conquest left for

two of the guys, one of whom was Steven. The other boy
had been making considerable headway with Janey at

school, actually going through the motions of courting

and wooing her. I had heard his name mentioned in

reverent tones at the dinner table, and a telephone

call from him was a reason for excited tittering

between the mother and daughter. His apparent progress

with the beautiful girl had infuriated Steven,

prompting him to set up the birthday party scam for

Janey.

When pressed by the professionals at the FBI, Steven

cracked like a true wuss, and gave up all the names of

the organizers and the participants. He even had a list

on his computer complete with names, dates and if the

event had been 'voluntary' or 'involuntary'. There were

a remarkable number of involuntary notations, meaning

'rapes', and that had caused an even greater uproar, as

most had never been reported. The few that had been

reported to the local police or school counselors had

been dismissed as post-coital regrets.

But it was not just the guys involved. There was

jealousy on the part of some of the girls that prompted

their participation, too. Steven implicated three of

the cheerleaders for setting up the party, providing

the booze, and verifying what color panties Janey had

been wearing that night. The girl's panties were

considered to be proof in the case of an involuntary

score, and they had been pretty sure Janey was not

going to participate voluntarily. So knowing what color

or pattern of panties she was wearing was key to

verifying the 'trophy' was from the victim. One

cheerleader had walked into the guest bathroom at the

party when Janey was peeing, her panties down around

her ankles. Janey was sure the door had been locked,

but, as the girl had OOP'sed her way back out of the

bathroom, she had just guessed the lock was broken and

had let it pass.

There were arrests and expulsions, some permanent. They

involved most of the popular kids, the 'in' crowd. The

'untouchables' had been touched. Hard. Most of them

blamed Janey, and they were bitter. Most of them

wouldn't graduate, at least, from this High School.

Then, to make a bad situation a catastrophe, someone,

probably some low-level employee from the hospital, had

leaked Steven's hospital chart to a sleazy tabloid.

There wasn't a male in America who didn't wince just a

little when his injuries were described in graphic

detail. The tabloid shouted it out in full color, with

charts and graphs showing the force of impact required

to do what had been done to his popped testicle and

ruptured penis by her solid kick to his groin. He got a

lot of sympathy from that report, as if his injuries

somehow made the two of them even. A surprising number

of females were sympathetic to him as well.

As more news leaked and broke over the weekend, it grew

rapidly into a media spectacle. Janey had withdrawn

into herself and didn't know any of this was going on.

But Sally knew and I knew. Sally had to take care of

Janey and couldn't deal with this. Me? I got mad, then

I started kicking ass and taking names. Literally.

We disconnected all the phones but the one in the back

guestroom after several threats had been made on

Janey's life, not to mention the countless obscene

phone calls. The list of the names we collected from

the Caller ID on that phone included some very

interesting ones. The calls were all recorded on a

system similar to the 9-1-1 calls. The FBI was doing

voiceprints and matching some surprising names to the

voices. Heads were going to roll, some from very high

places.

Considering several of the worst calls originated from

the telephones of those whose job it was to 'protect

and serve' us all, it was a good thing the house was

set well back from the road, and had a well-defined

perimeter fence around the large property. The

governor, a personal friend of mine, brought in the

National Guard to 'help' the local police keep an eye

on the property after I shared some of the selected

names on my Caller ID list with him. The new, heavily

armed troops added to the complicated chain-of-command

and jurisdictional issues, not to mention the feeding

frenzy of the so-called news media, but the phone calls

did quiet down a bit.

Then some asshole leaked Janey's name and address to

the press along with a home video showing her doing one

of her trademark kicks. Overnight, she became known as

"The high-kicking cheerleader" in the media. Her

picture and that video clip was played prominently at

the top, bottom and in the middle of every broadcast

hour, usually accompanied by the music from "The

Nutcracker Suite." The heartless jackals were at our

gates within minutes of the leak. News, tabloids,

paparazzi, women's rights groups, protesters,

spectators, helicopters, bullhorns, and, believe it or

not, a burning cross. The death-threats on the

telephone had been easier to deal with.

Sally came apart. I went ballistic. Not one to sit idly

by and watch this thing destroy these two women's

lives, I made several calls to some very high-priced

lawyers in New York, old friends of my father's from

his law practice. Every, and I mean every, last fucking

one of the registered media in the entire nation

received a registered letter from that law firm. The

letter explained exactly what would happen and how much

it would cost them personally and corporately if

Janey's name, likeness, or personal information were

broadcast, printed, or hinted after their receipt of

that registered letter, even if it was by mistake or

oversight.

The letter explained this was not a matter of

censorship and that they were free to report on the

events of this case, the same as any other similar

case. The girl was, however, a minor with legal rights

to anonymity. She had committed no crime, was not

charged with one, would not be charged with one, and

wished simply to be left alone. To help them remember,

the letter also mentioned several similar cases that

had not made headlines, but about which the entire

media industry was aware, where this particular law

firm had won huge awards from overly aggressive 'news'

organizations.

You could tell almost to the minute when the letters

hit the corporate offices of the major news media and

their legal departments confirmed the essential

elements of the legal situation. The smarter legal guys
probably pointed out that because of the warning

letter, any infraction would likely result in an award

far surpassing the previous multimillion dollar

amounts. Suddenly, everybody wanted to be somewhere

else, in a hurry. Watching their remote broadcast

vehicles scramble to leave the front gates reminded me

of the old Keystone Kops movies.

There were reports of several stations turning off

their signals that day in the middle of a broadcast

story, leaving several minutes of "Technical

Difficulty" screens. Of course, a couple of hard-liners

didn't listen, including one sensationalistic talk show

host, and surprisingly, one major network. They all

went bankrupt from the lawsuits, paying for the legal

expenses, and it didn't help when the FCC immediately

rescinded their broadcast licenses, effectively

stopping any further repetition of Janey's name in the

news. The other news agencies were very circumspect

after that. It's nice to have a sister who just happens

to be a Federal Judge in Washington, D.C.

I think how I handled that media mess managed to

impress Sally, who saw me from a whole new perspective.

Sharing your Rolodex is not something you normally do

when dating, even after 18 months. The restored calm

around the house and city allowed her to gather her

wits back together, and she was able to re-focus on

helping her daughter get well.

I continued to sit with Janey at night. After the first

three nights things had gotten pretty routine. I sat, I

talked, and she slept. The next night looked to be

going pretty much the same, except I was getting tired.

The emotional drain was taking its toll on all of us,

even me. The evening started out with me reminiscing. I

covered the same topics over and over every night. I

figured, what the Hell, she's asleep anyway.

I don't remember dozing off, but I awoke with a start

and saw Janey lying there, staring at me. Worse, I was

touching her. More accurately, she was holding onto my

finger with her hand. I had been having vivid dreams,

of happy times, but always under a cloud or shadow.

"Oh, you're awake. I'll go get your Mom."

In response, I got a quick shake of her head and a

tightened grasp on my finger. She apparently didn't

want me to go. I wracked my groggy brain for what to

do.

"OK. Do you need anything like a drink of water or

something to eat?"

She dismissed the idea with another quick head shake.

"I'm sorry to wake you up. Was I snoring?" I tried a

feeble laugh, but Janey just kept looking at me. Now

that I looked closer, I noticed she had a wary look on

her face. Not knowing what else to do, I just sat

quietly with her. It was still early; Sally wouldn't be

awake for hours.

"I thought you were mad at me, but you're not, are

you." It was a statement.

Those were her first words to me in nearly a week. I

nearly fell out of the chair. "Why would I be mad at

you?"

"I dunno. But you were mad, really mad, at someone,

weren't you?"

I thought back on the idiots that had surrounded the

house and hounded Sally and me. Janey had been out of

it during that time. How could she have known?

"Some people were bothering us a little. They're gone

now," I responded.

A while later, "Do you really like that blue outfit I

wore to school last week? I think it makes me look

old."

Now I was really confused. In all my ramblings to her

the past four nights I had avoided any reference to her

appearance, or being sexy, or her body. That was on the

advice of the rape counselor. She mentioned that rape

victims take a tremendous blow to their self-esteem and

that I shouldn't talk about her appearance or anything

to do with her body.

However, I had been dreaming of her in that blue outfit

just before I woke up. It was her dark blue blazer with

a matching pleated skirt that made her look like a

smart young professional businesswoman. I had had a

dream of her standing in front of a crowd, giving a

speech or lecture. What I remember was feeling proud of

her and everything she had accomplished. I had never

talked to her about it, though.

"Oh, was I talking in my sleep?"

She gave me that puzzled look, like I didn't know

something I should have, that look teenagers reserve

for their ignorant parents and siblings, then said,

"Well, kind of."

Janey sat up in bed, propping her pillows behind her. I

didn't try to help her, as that would have meant

touching her. As normal as she sounded, I didn't think

she was ready for that. Unusual for her, she pulled the

covers clear up to her chin, covering her body

completely. When she was settled in an upright

position, she did slip her hand out of the covers and

recapture my finger, so I stayed where I was. We didn't

talk anymore. We just sat in silence, each of us with

our own thoughts.

Sally found us like that in the morning, and

immediately burst into tears. They were happy ones,

though.

Chapter 3

I was still awake when Sally gently lifted the covers

and slid her naked body underneath. It was our first

'normal' night in over a week, with both of us in bed

at the same time. Janey was sleeping comfortably now,

and with their link, Sally would be awake at the first

sign of trouble.

At first, Sally stayed completely on the far side of

the bed, not wanting contact, or perhaps not wanting to

wake me. After restlessly tossing about for a while,

unable to get comfortable, or maybe just making sure I

was awake, she edged closer, finally moving her

gorgeous ass into me 'spoon fashion.' Now, under normal

circumstances, when she came to bed naked and backed

into me like that, it was a signal for a night of wild

sex. Even though we had gone a long week without any

sort of sexual relief, somehow I didn't think that was

what she wanted tonight, and, fortunately, my dick

behaved for once and didn't try to poke into her

uncharacteristically unreceptive body. Self-

preservation runs deep in my family.

I figured with all the bouncing around she had been

doing that she wanted me to be awake, so I moved my arm

over her and drew her close. Her large, firm tits,

normally so convenient in that position, went

unmolested as we cuddled. She gave a deep sigh and

snuggled firmly into my body, savoring the simple skin-

to-skin contact she shared with me all along her back

from shoulders to toes. I expected more tears. She just

sighed.

Sally was still in crisis mode and her mind was going a

thousand miles an hour. So was mine. Several minutes -

hours? - passed in silence.

"Larry? You awake?"

"Uh-huh." I hesitated, not knowing which direction to

go. I took the safe route.

"So do you think Janey's going to be OK?"

I could feel her nod. "Yes. The doctors said by Monday

she could go back to school with full activities. The

counselor agreed too. She said the sooner she goes back

the better."

"Monday? So soon? But...?" I let the unspoken question

hang there. She didn't answer it.

Sally was quiet for a long time. I had almost given up

continuing the conversation and, in all truth, I was

content just to hold her. Skin on skin was something I

could get used to, especially when it was hers and

mine. Under the circumstances, the closeness had a

healing, bonding effect on me. I hoped she was feeling

the same things. Comfortable with these sensations, I

almost missed it when she continued.

"Larry, you know how much I like sex."

Huh? This came from out the blue, from left field, from

nowhere. My bewilderment must have been obvious, even

in the dark. I could almost feel her grinning at my

confusion.

"You must have realized by now, Larry, that I have a

much higher than normal sexual appetite. I always have.

I have been aware of it since I first learned boys and

girls were different. It was difficult, especially when

I was Janey's age, but I never let it control me, or

determine my actions. Influence, yes, sometimes

unwisely, but determine, no. Sex has been one of the

biggest joys of my life.

"Janey is my daughter in every way. I haven't

encouraged or discouraged her sexuality. I didn't need

to. She has masturbated since age 5, the same time I

started. However, she has been aware from the beginning

that other people wouldn't understand if she involved

them in her activities and has always acted

responsibly. She was - she is a good kid. She hasn't

given me a bit of trouble in that way, and I always

assumed she would grow up and have as rewarding a sex

life as I have.

"But now? Oh, God, Larry, now I'm so afraid for her.

Maybe it's weird, but she and I have a link or

something between us, especially when we are close to

each other. I can't explain it, exactly. It's like we

can sense each other's moods and feelings. It's not

mind reading, exactly. But I know when she's horny or

happy, and she senses when I am sad, and how very happy

you have made me." She stopped and brought her hands up

between her breasts, capturing my hand between hers.

"The Janey I had 'felt' before is gone. Until today,

no, it was last night sometime; all I got when I was

near her was fear, fear of sex, fear of men, fear of

herself and her sexual feelings, and tremendous guilt.

It's as if she thinks she is responsible for what

happened.

"I know right now she is healing physically and that

she'll get over most of the pain in time. But her first

sexual experience with another person was so traumatic,

so horrendous! I'm afraid she'll never let a man near

her again, that she will never experience this, that

she will never let anyone close enough to know love."

She hugged my hands to her again to show me what she

meant. "I'm afraid she will never have the courage to

meet new people, to trust them, to venture out into the

exciting places in life. That she will always be

suspicious of people and that it will turn her into an

ugly person. 'Ugly on the inside becomes ugly on the

outside.'"

I let her talk. I didn't understand some of what she

was saying, especially about that link thing and all,

but I knew enough to keep quiet. Finally the silence

got to me, and I had to open my big fat mouth.

"So is there anything we can do to help her get over

this?" That's right. I said "we." Stupid, stupid,

stupid.

She seemed to give a start, as if 'doing' something

about it had not occurred to her. Or maybe it was that

'we' would do it together. I don't know. I do know I

could sense the sudden change in her attitude and the

change in the direction of her thoughts, even without

being able to see her face. Her whole body radiated

excitement as she grasped on to this tiny ray of hope.

"Well, what I think she needs is someone who can teach

her, be patient with her, let her be the instigator

while gently encouraging her exploration of her

sexuality until her fear of sex is gone. It would have

to be someone older; someone she trusts, someone more

experienced. Someone she knows already."

"Where would you find someone like that?" I asked. "It

doesn't sound like they would be listed in the Yellow

Pages."

I just about said something about a particular High

School teacher who came to mind. We had discussed his

known proclivities for young girls before, but the

fucking teacher's union was strong in this state and he

just kept on molesting - all right, allegedly

molesting, young girls. I also didn't think a 'funny'

remark would have been the right thing to say at that

particular moment. Given what she said next and what

happened as a result, I sometimes wonder what would

have happened if I had broken the mood at that moment.

But we'll never know, will we?

"I don't know. Right now, you're the only man I know of

who I trust enough to...Oh, my! Larry!" her voice

trailed off, as the solution became as obvious to her

as my sudden erection jabbing into her ass.

Let me explain a few things. First, Sally is, as far as

I am concerned, the perfect woman. Not just for me. She

is THE perfect woman. I personally know of several

other red-blooded males who agree, and who are

extremely jealous of my relationship with her. Comments

about giving a left nut in exchange for an evening with

her, etc. might be inappropriate given the

circumstances, but hey, it is the thought that counts,

right?

Sally is smart, witty, loving, caring, giving, yada

yada yada. Don't misunderstand. I don't mean to

trivialize those attributes; I just need to save

several megabytes of hard disk space by not listing

each and every one of them. I consider things like

honesty, integrity, and trust to be among her best

qualities, but, for the moment, her physical attributes

are more appropriate to consider.

Sally stands 5'2" in her stocking feet. Those delicate

feet grace the ends of two of the shapeliest legs God

could ever dream of forming, if God ever dreamed at

all, much less of female anatomy. At the top of her

thighs, she is both trim and voluptuous at the same

time. In front, her mound doesn't mound at all. Her

stomach is hard and flat. Not a bulge, not a wrinkle in

that silky smooth expanse of skin, even when bending

over. Her hips flare slightly, and narrow to a waspish

waist. And that's after one birth!

From behind, she looks slightly more Reubinesque.

You've heard it said before, but in this case it is

true: She has an ass to die for: high, tight and firm,

yet soft to the touch with resilient, fully rounded,

mouth watering mounds.

I remember vividly the first time that I had seen her

near naked ass revealed to me in all of its splendor.

She was in a thong bikini. We had been dating for about

a month and things were going well between us. We were

both anxious about out first sexual encounter, but

realized that what was building between us was special.

We both wanted to give it time to grow at its own pace.

Not ready for an overnighter, well, I was ready, I just

didn't want her to reject me this early on. Anyway, I

invited her to a friend's secluded place on the island

for the day.

When I arrived to pick her up on the appointed day, she

skipped out to the car, not waiting for me to get out

and come to the door as I usually did. Stopping by the

door on my side of the car she slid off her thin cover-

up, posed for me once or twice sexily, and then twirled

around.

I must have choked or something, as she stopped halfway

around and looked back inquisitively at me over her

shoulder. My leering, lusting expression would have

gotten me fired for sexual harassment in any office in

America but the Oval Office, and I blushed, embarrassed

at my obvious lust and arousal. My cock, earlier

content to rest in the confines of my own suit, broke

ranks and showed its swollen head over the waistband,

high enough she could see it from where she stood.

My jaw moved, and I gestured apologetically, convinced

she would bolt for the nearest policeman. Her

spontaneous laughter and pleasure at my visible

appreciation of her appearance and my obvious desire

for her body saved the moment, making it one of the

most special memories we shared.

I did wait until we got to the beach house, but I had

to fuck her in the car before we even got to the sand.

I couldn't walk I was so hard. When I think back, I

didn't fuck her. We fucked each other. The fucking was

more than mutual. We did it again on the blanket -

before lunch. Twice more after lunch and a couple of

times on the way back to the car. It was a long beach.

Every time she walked in front of me in that tiny black

thong bottom, I got rock hard. She knew it, too,

enjoying her affect on me as much as I did.

That night at my apartment she came to bed in just

those bikini bottoms, walking back and forth several

times as she prepared for bed, dancing and teasing me

to a hardness I had never thought possible this side of

concrete.

That was the first time we did it anal. It wasn't the

last. She wore that suit often.

So much for her ass.

If anything, Sally felt her tits were 'smallish'. They

were nowhere near "small," filling her C-sized bra cups

to overflowing. She liked the tight feeling, the bounce

and jiggle a tight garment gave her chest, so she wore

them that way. However, she didn't need to wear one at

all. Her tits rode high, and were only slightly more

rounded on the bottom when loosened from their

confinement. Perky light pink nipples surrounded by

darker rosy aureoles a little larger than a quarter.

Those sensitive nubs would stiffen to hardened turgid

buttons a little less that « inch long when she was

aroused, which was often. Oddly, one of her nipples,

the left, had been pierced at some time prior to our

relationship. One of her mysteries, as yet unsolved.

She had blonde hair, unusual green eyes - Irish green,

not hazel - that didn't miss a moment of life, creamy

smooth skin that tanned in two seconds and held it for

months. When Sally learned of my penchant for tan

lines, those three tiny white triangles of untagged

skin over her nipples and pussy lips, she developed a

seemingly permanent set of distinct tan lines. I have

always preferred white meat over dark, and I proved it

to her the night she unveiled her new look, but it took

hours and hours until she was fully convinced. I didn't

mind at all.

Even with her killer body, it was her face I loved the

most. I could watch her for hours, and did so as often

as I could. She wasn't embarrassed at the attention I

paid to her, even when she learned I got hard as iron

simply by looking at her. She would just give me a

knowing smile and laugh. Depending on the

circumstances, she would alternatively torture me,

making me even harder by flaunting her body, or she

might relieve me with her hand or mouth. She was a

sexy, beautiful woman, breathtaking, heart-stoppingly

gorgeous, and generous to a fault.

She had one special look that could pierce my darkest

mood and fire my blood as no one had ever done before.

She would kind of a look up at me through her eyelashes

with her face tilted slightly down and a little to one

side. Her pouty lower lip would glisten with just the

tip of her tongue showing, an innocent smile teasing

the corners of her moist lips. I would melt. I would

give diamonds, rubies, and my kingdom for that smile.

Once, when she looked at me like that, her tongue

wasn't showing. Instead, she had just the knob of my

swollen cock in her mouth. We had made a bet - I was

still under the mistaken impression I had some control

in this relationship - that she could make me cum with

no hands, no bobbing, no sucking, no tonguing. Just her

mouth. In under a minute.

She won. I didn't last 30 seconds. She just looked up

at me with those incredible green eyes, batted them

once or twice, wantonly winked at me, and had to

swallow a gallon of my juice. Which she did, laughing

with me. As the loser, I 'had' to attend the opera with

her for six months.

That's the first thing I needed to explain.

The second is that Janey is all that, just younger and

maybe a bit firmer in one or two places. Hell, she's

almost 20 years younger, and, not to say that Sally

looks or acts her age, Janey has the advantage and the

allure of youth; more energy, more curiosity, more

innocence.

Of course, I have to assume she looks the same naked as

her mother. I have never seen anything but her legs and

arms bare, and those matched up pretty close. I knew

the two of them traded clothes all the time and Sally

would only stretch out the smallest of Janey's tops.

Those tight ones happened to be my personal favorites,

especially the bare midriff tank tops made of thin

material. I checked the label for the size on one after

it was carefully discarded for the night and purchased

Sally several of her own for us. I replaced several of

them as they kept being ripped off her whenever she

wore them. I think Sally was secretly pleased with her

overall effect on me, as she wore them often, many

times taunting me in public by revealing she was

wearing one under a sweater or sweatshirt.

But I digress. Although I had noticed and admired

Janey, I had never thought of her in a sexual sense.

Sally was all I wanted, all I needed, and Janey was a

minor, a mature minor, for sure, but still underage.

Let's face it, Sally was all I could handle, and

besides, why spoil a terrific thing? On top of that, I

didn't have all that much contact with Janey as I

wasn't staying overnights that often. She had her life

and Sally and I were building ours. I hoped, kind of,

that she would be a bigger part of my life with Sally

at some point, but like that? Holy Shit! No way!

So there we were, lying in bed, Sally's wonderfully

firm, warm ass nestled in my crotch, talking quietly,

dealing with this crisis in an adult and reasoned

manner. And suddenly this picture of my cock

disappearing into Janey's soft, warm, moist mouth

springs unbidden into my head. It was clearly an

inappropriate moment for a hard-on, but my pecker

seemed suddenly to have developed a suicidal mind of

its own. Instant woody, and it jabbed forcefully into

Sally's ass, pressing directly into, but not

penetrating her asshole. Thank God for small favors.

Hey, how about an 'On/Off' switch on these things next

time You design something? OK, Big Fella?

Somehow that vividly erotic image, and the multitude of

others that quickly joined it in my brain of that

vibrant teen in various sexual positions, invigorated

my organ. It was a most inopportune time, considering

she had just been assaulted.

I knew I was in deep shit.

There was no way for her to miss my arousal or to not

know what had caused it. We had both realized the

obvious, albeit ludicrous, solution at the same time.

We just had different images of it. If I hadn't been so

pre-occupied with the erotic visions filling my head, I

might have tried to cover, scrabble together some

romantic reason for my arousal, and make it perhaps a

little better. As it was, I knew she knew. As I

realized what had happened, time stopped dead while I

waited for her to do or say something.

I almost cried out when she shifted her body away from

me, leaving my erection bobbing freely in the space

between us.

"Well. I see you like them young." Her voice was

sounded almost bitter, hurt.

With that, she moved farther away from me. It was the

first night we spent together, apart. I didn't like it.

I felt like dead man walking. Walking in deep shit.

Chapter 4

The smell of fresh coffee and bacon filtered into the

room late the next morning. I surveyed the room. I was

at Sally's, so it hadn't all been a bad dream. Damn! I

raised the sheets and checked my equipment. I breathed

a sigh of relief. She hadn't pulled a Bobbit. In fact,

it looked and felt as if my erection had never gone

down. The few personal items I kept at her place were

still hanging in the closet and sitting unbroken on the

dressing table. So far, so good. No open suitcase for

me to pack and leave.

I reviewed the final events of the previous evening in

my head. Same conclusion, I had really fucked up this

time.

The wafting aroma of a hearty breakfast had me

confused, however. Sally and Janey were extremely

health conscious and didn't eat a lot of eggs and

bacon, or as Janey called them, 'cholesterol and

nitrates in non-unsaturateds.' It's what she meant when

she said 'CNN.'

Under normal circumstances, I had been able to

associate these particular smells with the hearty

breakfasts we would have following an exceptional night

of wild passionate sex. Or of nights filled with

passion and romance, not just fucking and sucking, as

had been the case more often than not of late.

I slipped on my robe and walked out to the kitchen. On

the way, I went past Janey's door, which was open. The

bedroom doors in this house were always open, even

during sex. It took a bit of getting used to, as Sally

was extremely vocal during intercourse, announcing her

pleasures with descriptive words and sounds. Privacy

was for the bathroom, unless, of course she was horny.

Janey respected the privacy visually, but I wondered

how much she heard.

I peeked in on Janey, to check on her, of course. She

was still fast asleep, but curled into a protective

fetal position, as if hugging herself. I continued on,

following my nose to the kitchen.

At the door to the kitchen I paused and reconnoitered.

Two place settings, both with coffee cups, one of them

was the cup reserved for my use, another good sign.

Fresh squeezed orange juice, a special treat. Sally

hated the work it took. I cautiously cleared my throat,

ready to duck at the first sign of flying utensils.

"Good morning, lover. Hungry?"

'Lover?' Me? I quickly checked behind me to see if

anyone else was there. Nope, just me.

"Uh, sure. You know I like a big breakfast..."

I bit my tongue, as I had almost added 'after a night

of great sex.' I edged closer to the table, still

watching for flying pottery or hot grease.

Sally was standing at the stove, wearing her 'I just

had another night of great sex' robe. It was the red
silk one and was short enough you could just see the

bottom swells of her ass cheeks. When it was cinched

tight with the silk rope belt, like it was now, you

could see everything, back and front. Usually that

meant 'breakfast can wait, shove the dishes on the

floor and do me hard and fast on the table.' I had no

idea what it meant this morning. I took another

cautious step towards the table.

She watched my progress with a strange expression on

her face. It was more a wry smile than anything, but

there was a definite element of sadness in it to, or

seriousness, maybe.

"Sit." It was gentle, like the final concession in an

argument, but it was an order, nonetheless.

I sat, trembling slightly.

She came over with two plates, business-like. They were

hot out of the oven. She put them down, poured the

coffee and sat down with me at the table. She then

proceeded to push her food all around her plate until

it was a congealed mass in the center. It looked just

like my plate.

I had been watching her fidget for the longest time. I

had only known her to fidget once before, and that was

the first night she asked me to stay over with her when

Janey was there, too. Indecision was not something I

was used to from her. She finally noticed me watching

her and blushed. That surprised me.

"Is something on your mind, Sally?"

"Yes. No. Yes. But I don't know how to start."

This was even more uncharacteristic of her, and

immediately I misunderstood. "Look, if it's about last

night, I'm terribly sorry. I don't know what happened

that it popped up like that. I was tired, we were both

stressed out because of what - you know, all that

happened. And it's been a long time since we, well, did

anything together to relieve the stress. I swear to you

with all my heart, soul and body, I have never thought

of Janey in that way before. Cut it off and toss it out

if I'm lying! I don't know what came over me."

I hesitated, choked up a bit. "Just don't make me leave

you."

My eyes started to water. Hey, it was an emotional

moment. I was really sincere, and I was sincerely

afraid she would never let me see her again. I was

prepared to continue to beg, plead, scream, grovel or

whatever it took to obtain her forgiveness. Fortunately

she took pity on me and stopped me.

"That's very sweet of you. I'll bet I could almost get

you to grovel on the floor, couldn't I?"

I nodded. My heart sank to my knees. I wasn't all that

good at begging, really.

"And I wouldn't think of cutting it off. It has - you

'both' have brought me too much happiness and pleasure.

That's sort of what I wanted to talk to you about."

She chewed on the next line for a long time.

"I want you to teach Janey about sex."

My ears were playing tricks on me, but my prick had

heard and was rising once again to the challenge. It

popped its head out between the flaps of my robe, as if

wanting to participate in the conversation. It was so

hard it hurt. I was going to have to do something about

these uncontrollable erections. More sex more often,

maybe?

Sally looked at me, waiting for a response, other than

the one sticking out of my robe. I think she wanted

something verbal, some response from the cognitive side

of my brain.

"You're serious." It was a statement, not a question. A

thousand thoughts whipped through my head, with the

foremost being the jolting realization that my position

in this house was not as precarious as I had at first

thought. In fact, I suddenly felt pretty damn smug. But

I wanted to see how much it meant to her.

"You want me, a much older man, to teach your underage

daughter about sex? Do you mean teach, as in 'tell her

about it,' or teach, as in 'actually have sex with?'"

Her hands over her beautiful face muffled her answer,

as if trying to hide from the absurdity of this

conversation, to blank it from her mind.

"What? I didn't quite catch that." So I lied, big deal.

I had heard just fine. I just wanted her to repeat it

for posterity, and to make really, really, really sure.

"Have sex with. I want you to have sex with my under-

aged teenage daughter and show her how wonderful it can

be. Whatever it takes to do that. Satisfied?" She had

enunciated her answer very carefully, as if speaking to

an idiot or a foreigner. No offense intended. Everyone

does it to foreign visitors. She glared at me across

the table.

"No."

She looked at me disbelieving, almost in shock.

"Check that. Let me clarify. I mean, 'No, I'm not

satisfied with your answer'. Don't take that as a 'No'

to the sex part. Yet."

I was grinning at her like an idiot, which I was. I had

the upper hand for the first time and she knew it. She

also didn't like it and knew I was going to rub it in.

Good.

"How much sex?"

She glared at me. I kept going.

"What kind of sex? How often? Is she on the pill? You

know I don't use condoms..."

I looked down and then grinned up at her.

"...They don't fit very well, as you well know."

God, this was fun! I had her squirming, dangling at the

end of a short line, the hook set deep.

She actually blushed again. This was amazing. When she

answered, it was not what I expected.

"Do whatever she wants, whatever you want. Just make

her enjoy it. No, wait. Now let me clarify. 'Help' her

enjoy it. Don't 'make' her do anything."

She looked up at me, pleading with her eyes. Damn, she

played unfair!

"Help me, Larry. Help me help her. Please, Larry. I

don't know what to do. I just don't know..."

The tears started then.

Leave it to a woman to cry just when it was getting

fun. Hell, even I'm not that insensitive, and I had

halfway thought she was kidding. She wasn't. She was

serious. I felt like the schmuck I had been acting

like.

I reached over and took both of her hands in one of

mine. I wanted to stop her wringing them, if not to

comfort her. She was clearly nervous and scared I would

turn her down. While doing untold good for my ego, her

request and the implicit trust it placed in me scared

me absolutely shitless. I realized very clearly that no

matter which way I went, there was a more than even

chance I could lose it all. I didn't think I could take

that.

I was quiet for a long time, silently holding her

hands. She wisely let me think of exactly what I wanted

to say. For once.

"First off, I am sincerely sorry about my physical

reaction last night. You are the only woman for me, and

you have been the only one since that first moment I

laid eyes on you. Please believe me."

She nodded. "I know. But it surprised me. Your reaction

seemed somehow, well, inappropriate. I know she's

attractive and that she's growing up - and out - very

fast, but I never sensed you had those kinds of

thoughts about her. If I had, whether it was true or

not, you would have never seen us again.

"And I do believe you think you love me. Geeze, you've

asked me to marry you enough times."

Ouch. That one hurt. All right, so I had proposed to

her within 5 minutes of seeing her the first time. We

had barely been introduced and it popped out of my

mouth. Funny thing is, we both knew I was dead serious.

I had cut down my barrage of proposals a lot in the

last 6 months, mostly just begging with her during,

before and after sex, of which we had a lot. She didn't

seem to mind. She just never accepted. At least now I

knew she had heard me. Maybe one more shot at it? I was

in a good position here, after all.

"Second, she will have to approach me. I won't seduce

her."

As she nodded her agreement, a tear trickled down her

cheek.

"Third, if it means any chance of losing you, the

answer is 'No.' I will not risk that."

Another nod, more tears.

"Last, I don't want this to create trouble between you

two. I'm not so vain as to think I could turn the head

of a pretty young teenager, but if you two are sharing

the same man on a regular basis..."

I saw her flinch at that comment.

"...there is bound to be an emotional bond that grows

between Janey and me as well, maybe even a little

competition. What happens if she falls in love with me,

or thinks she is? What if she tries to displace you in

my heart? Can you deal with that? You'll have to, as I

don't think I could stop her without crushing her

spirit even more than it is now. I won't risk that,

either. She has been hurt too much."

That last was said almost with vehemence.

A grin spread across her face. She realized I had all

but agreed, and was relieved. And she had thought that

far ahead to contemplate the possible complications and

she was not concerned. That part she could deal with,

or would if and when it happened.

"If you think I am going to lose my man to some fresh-

faced young chippy, you had better think again!"

She looked me directly in the eyes, grinning smugly.

"I've got tricks up my sleeve you haven't even dreamed

about, buster. Experience will beat out youthful

exuberance any day."

God, she was beautiful. But I still had the upper hand.

I wanted something from her, something big. But I

couldn't make her just give it to me because of the

situation. She would resent it later if not now, and so

would I, really. I had to win it fair and square.

"OK. But only on one condition."

She paled. She hated conditions. "What is it?"

"I want to win the bet."

For a minute she had a puzzled look on her face. She

had no idea where I was going. Then she realized I had

said 'the' bet. She grew more perplexed.

"Huh? What makes you think you can win now? Remember

the last time? What's your record, 30 seconds?"

She eyed the silent helmeted observer peeking out from

my robe. She reached over and lightly stroked the dark

head with the tip of her finger. I almost shot my load

then.

"Or do you just want a blow job? I'll give you that

right now, no charge!"

In a shaky voice I responded, "I can win. I have to.

And I want to raise the stakes."

"Oh, really? Remind me of the original bet."

"We, you bet that you could make me cum in less than

one minute using only your mouth, no hands, no tongue,

no suction, no motion."

"And the stakes?"

"If you won, which you did, I was to accompany you to

the opera for six months, my treat, which I have done.

If I won, which I didn't, I was to get to shave your

pussy bald, and help you keep it that way for six

months."

"What do you want to raise the stakes to?"

"Same stakes as before. Plus, if you win, I do anything

you decide."

Sally was quiet for a minute, and then she spoke, "At

first I thought to myself, 'Big deal. He loses and he

gets to fuck my daughter after taking me to the opera.'

But..." she paused for effect, "...anything?"

I nodded.

She paused again. "Anything? You would never, ever ask

me to marry you again, if that's what I wanted?"

I paled. I could even hear the italics in her voice.

She knew me too well. I nodded my agreement. Slowly.

"Those are pretty big stakes. You must really want

something big. What do I have to do for you if you win

on a fluke? Come on, what do you want, Stud?"

In answer, I said nothing. I simply played with the

shiny golden ring on the little finger of my left hand.

It was a simple band, but designed for a much smaller

hand. One more her size. It had been there almost 18

months, in constant readiness. I was ready if she ever

changed her mind and said "Yes" to one of my proposals.

She followed my gaze to my hands. She saw the ring.

"Oh. Larry, I... we... Oh, shit!"

I waited for the explosion that never came. I waited

for her to turn down the bet. She had turned them down

before when she felt the stakes were too high. I waited

for...

"Five minutes. I get five minutes to make you cum."

"YES!"

It was a shout of spontaneous joy after a lifetime of

hopelessness. My heart leaped in my chest. She had

agreed to the bet! We were simply negotiating the

details. I had not dared hope she would agree. I had

only wanted to get it back on the table and move her

closer to what I considered the inevitable. But, shit,

5 minutes. I was not made of stone. We had proven that

the last time!

"I mean, No! Not 5 minutes. 90 seconds," I countered.

"Four minutes."

"Two."

"Three." It was all the concession I was going to get

and we both knew it. God help me.

"Done..."

Chapter 5

"... But I get to make one condition to be specified

only after you agree. Take it or leave it."

I was praying she would leave it. There was no fucking

way I could last that long in that moist steaming

cauldron of her sexy mouth, so hot and moist, tight...

Stop it, you idiot! You'll lose before you start!

"OK. When do you want to lose?"

Oh, shit I'm a goner. Maybe if I go jack off for a

month solid...

"Right now. But I can't lose."

Her head snapped up so fast, I thought she would get

whiplash. She knew, she could bloody see the condition

I was in and what condition my cock was in. She could

see it throbbing, lusting at her. She had seen me

almost lose it when she had merely stroked it with her

fingertip. We hadn't had intercourse for more than a

week, because of the last week's events. I was loaded

for bear and we both knew it. Shit, it was already

glistening with oozing pre-cum in anticipation of her

warm mouth engulfing it. Soft and warm, gently

surrounding the throbbing head, even if only for one

brief moment... STOP IT.

She got up without another word and moved beside my

chair. I turned my chair so she was between my legs.

All she had to do was kneel down, lean forward and win

the bet. She started to kneel down. I had to delay her

for a minute. Focus on something else. I looked around

the kitchen frantically for a diversion.

"Wait. I had a condition."

She grinned at me, confident, too confident. I had to

change our positions, somehow. Re-establish the

smugness I had felt earlier, sort of.

"You're going to blindfold me?"

She batted her eyes. She knew me too well. But it did

give me an idea. Maybe...

In answer, I reached up and loosened the black silk

rope holding her robe closed. I pulled it free from the

belt loops.

"Turn around."

She did with saucy flip of her hips, a dare, a

challenge.

I made a loop at one end of belt and slipped it over

her wrist. I pulled that wrist behind her into the

small of her back. She resisted slightly as I caught

her other hand and gently pulled it back behind her.

She was strangely quiet and there was a visible tremor

to her whole body. The sauce had mellowed.

"Please, not this..."

It was a barely audible whisper. But she stopped before

she finished.

"What did you say?"

She cleared her throat.

"Nothing. Just a bad memory."

I secured the two wrists together behind her. There was

rope left over, and I figured 'What the hell. Let's go

for broke.' I wound the rope up and around her forearms

to her elbows, pulling each wind a little tighter,

drawing her elbows towards each other. In testament to

her flexibility, when I finished, they were touching.

She had not made another sound. I touched her hip to

indicate she could face me.

"Oh... My... God!"

I was unprepared for the sight I beheld. Tying her

hands behind her back and forcing her elbows together

had the glorious effect of forcing her chest out

through the open robe. They were standing proudly up

thrust, firm and quivering with her - what - fear?

Anger? She was definitely shaking.

Whether it was the conversation, the cool air

conditioning, or (dare I hope?) her reaction to

bondage, her nipples betrayed her arousal as did the

distinctive odor of her visibly dripping pussy. Even

her swollen clit was visible. I had about as much of

the upper hand as I was ever going to get with this

wonderful woman. It was now or never.

I set my watch on chronograph and zeroed it out. I

placed it on the arm of the chair facing her so we

could both see it. She kneeled down in front of me.

Instead of initiating the bet, as she usually did, she

waited for my signal.

I nodded to her. "Now."

I waited until she had the head fully in her mouth

before I started the timer. One of her eyebrows raised

in a silent question.

I answered her with, "Just so there is no question when

I win."

I sounded way more confident that I felt.

As she couldn't nod without defaulting, she merely

lowered the eyebrow and closed her eyes. She shut me

out, trying to help me win! Damn it all and fuck that

shit. I got mad.

"I'll call the whole thing off right now if you don't

try to win!" I snapped at her. I reached down and

lifted her mouth off my cock.

"I-I-I'm ccccuuuummminnnggg," she gasped, visibly

shuddering.

In a flash, ashamed, I was beside her on the floor,

supporting her sagging body. Her breath stabilized

after a long while, evening out as she lay heavily

against my chest.

"Here, let me untie you. I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to

tie it so tight. It was stupid."

She shook her head, stopping me.

"No. Wait! Yes, but later. It's just been a long time

since..." Again she didn't finish.

"Want to tell me about it?" I asked.

"Later, Lover. Damn, you're good..." Her sense of humor

was back, anyway.

Catching her breath, she asked in a strangely

submissive voice, "May I try again?"

I swore there was an unspoken word at the end of that

sentence. Something like "Sir," or "Master." Or maybe I

was dreaming.

"You sure you're up to it?"

She snorted. "Are you? Oh, yes. I can see you are..."

I sat back up in the chair and scooted my butt forward

to the edge of the seat. My iron hard prick stood

straight up from my groin, within easy reach of her

mouth. Again she waited for my signal.

I reset the clock to zero. Her eyes widened. And I

thought I saw a malicious twinkle in them. Good, at

least she was getting back to normal.

"Now."

As before, she leaned forward. Knowing I wouldn't start

the clock until she had the whole head in her mouth,

she took her time getting it all in. And, if the clock

wasn't running, the restrictions of the bet didn't

apply. She kissed and lathered and sucked and bobbed

and tongued all around the tip of my cock, driving me

fucking ape-shit. This was the competitor I knew and

loved. But two could play that game.

Very smoothly I moved my shin to place my foot to about

where I guessed her crotch would be. When her mouth was

centered over my prick, I moved my foot up so it just

caressed her pussy. Surprised at the sudden contact,

she gasped, opening her mouth. I thrust up with my hips

and her lips engulfed the entire head.

I started the clock.

She did her damnedest to win this time. Her sexy eyes

never left mine. She had that sultry look down cold,

and was beating down my resistance with those devilish

dancing green eyes.

At 30 seconds I was sweating. The heat generated by her

mouth was incredible. I could feel her heartbeat and

mine both in the head of my cock. The more I

concentrated on the twin beats, the closer they got.

At 45 seconds our heartbeats synchronized. I tried to

blank my mind, but all I could see was Janey in her

mother's place, kneeling submissively before me, her

lips nestled at the base of my cock.

I quit trying to blank my mind. The way I was going

that was a sure-fire way to loose.

At 60 seconds, trickles of sweat coalesced and trailed

down my chest and pooled in my navel. This was more

effective than a sauna!

Her eyes suddenly began dancing, sparkling with a

vitality I had never seen in her before. When my foot,

still directly under her crotch, got wet, I knew she

had cum again. But she hadn't defaulted by moving,

moaning or sucking. I glanced at the clock. She had cum
at 90 seconds. We're only halfway. God! I'll never make

it! Her eyes flicked to the clock with mine, then

snapped back to capture them again. I never thought of

looking away. I should have.

If I had thought she was trying before, I was badly

mistaken. Her current efforts at seductive 'come

hither' looks were beyond anything I had seen before.

The looks she gave me for the next 90 seconds would

have seduced a statue.

She almost won. She took advantage of my foot below her

and slowly lowered her body, capturing my foot with her

sopping cunt. Her only reaction when I wiggled my big

toe was to slightly close her eyes, shudder a bit and

shift so it wasn't directly over her clit. I shifted it

back, grinning at her and began a steady rotation of my

toe over her button.

With my foot sort of trapped beneath her, she slowly

turned her body without moving her head, letting her

stiff nipples scratch along the hairs of my thigh, one

after the other. I'll bet you never considered your

legs as an erogenous zone. I sure hadn't. I do now.

The ends of the armrests on my chair snapped off

suddenly in my death grip as the timer crawled towards

the 3-minute mark. My eyes darted back and forth

between her eyes and the timer like a trapped animal.

2:58

I could have recited every poem I have ever learned in

the space of time from then until the end. And I was a

poetry minor in college.

2:59

God could have done all 7 days of creation here. Twice.

3:00

3:01

3:02

I didn't cum. As surprised as I was, Sally was even

more so. For the first time I saw something in her eyes

that bordered on true respect. She respected control,

especially the ability to control one's sexual urge.

She'd had to do so all her life. Her daughter did as

well. I may have been the first person, male person,

anyway, she could truly respect in that way.

3:30

She was now waiting patiently at my feet, a stillness

about her. She had lost, but knew I still had something

to prove. She sat there, a beautiful woman, hands bound

behind her, quietly fucking herself on my toe and

caressing my thighs with her nipples, waiting for me;

for what I wanted. I felt her cum dripping steadily

down my foot, the contractions on my toes delightful. A

pool of her juices was forming at my heel.

4:15

Her mouth must have been sore by now. But she had never

moved, sucked or tongued throughout. Still I lasted.

She waited with me, for me.

5:00

Chapter 6

"Now!"

It was a quiet command to her, as well as a warning to

her that I was going to flood her mouth. We came

together. I had so much stored jism pumping into her

oral cavity, it flowed out her nose. It dripped to the

floor beneath my chair.

I sat back in the chair, and placed the broken armrests

on the table. I would fix them later. Right now, I was

totally drained, exhausted, exhilarated. I had won! I

didn't even want to think about what would have

happened if I had lost. I had won! We would marry.

I understood she had not agreed to a time frame and I

grinned, thinking of the next bet we would make in

order to set the date. I was about to mention this to

her, but stopped as I watched her thoroughly clean my

semi-erect cock with her tongue. She then bent

completely over and licked my foot clean. She proceeded

from there to lick up the drops of cum, hers and mine,

that had fallen to the kitchen floor.

Sitting back on her heels when she finished, she waited

for me to speak, but I was speechless. I was not used

to this behavior, had never seen it before, but was

damned sure I could get used to it real quick. If I

could just figure out what was going on.

A slight motion of my hand, and she slipped up and

settled on my lap, facing me, one leg out to either

side of my hips. My stiffening organ nestled against

her gaping cunt, and as I hardened and lengthened, she

shifted back and forth so that it grew up into her. As

it stiffened, I felt her contract almost continuously,

her green eyes now lidded.

I lifted her knees, bringing her feet off the floor.

This forced her to settle completely on my cock with

her entire weight. A tremendous sob tore from her as

she gasped out my name.

"Oh, Laaarry!" The pressure her muscles exerted on me

felt like she was going to snap my cock off at the

base. As she slowly relaxed from this major climax, she

tipped forward and nestled her face in the crook of my

neck. For a while I thought she was asleep until I felt

her lips gently working.

Damn! A hickey! That mischievous minx! I had an

important meeting on Friday with a new client.

Without thinking, I swatted at her ass with my open

hand. It was just a light slap, honest! I was not

prepared for her response. It was as if every muscle in

her body, including those gripping my prick for dear

life, contracted at their greatest strength. Her legs

shot rigid out behind the chair. Her back arched even

more, offering her glorious breasts to my mouth. This

seizure/climax seemed to last forever, until she could

finally gasp out a plea.

"God! Shit! Fuck! Oh, God! Please, Larry. Stop for a

minute. Uuuhhh. We have, uuuhhh, to talk."

I stopped toying with her tits reluctantly. I waited

for her to get off my prick. I waited for her to ask to

be untied. Her arms must be aching by now. I waited.

She didn't move off my staff, nor did she ask to be

released. She jumped right in, no hesitation this time.

"My last boyfriend... You have to know... He hurt
Janey.... And me...."

She was speaking in gasps. I shushed her, bringing my

lips to hers. She stayed right there in my face,

resting her forehead on mine, her nose smashed against

mine. I traced her lips with my tongue, tasting myself

on her. In many ways, this felt more intimate than

fucking her.

"Gary was my last boyfriend before you, about four

years ago."

I did the math in my head. Janey had been ten or eleven

years old.

"We had been together a long time, two years or so, and

over time, I came to relax my guard around him. I guess

I let myself believe we were in love, although I knew

we weren't.

"He was good with Janey at first, spending time with

her, rough-housing as only a guy can with a young girl.

She seemed to like him. They were inseparable on

weekends, and, after she was in bed, he would fuck me

silly. Things were great for the first 6 months or so.

"Then one night he said he wanted to try something

different. He used a belt or something and tied me to

the bed. I went wild. It was the most exciting thing I

had ever experienced up until then. I mean, I knew what

bondage was, and had dabbled, but Gary took it serious.

When he tied me up, it was for real, even that first

time.

"He saw my reaction to it and rapidly introduced me to

more and more bondage and domination, the stricter the

better. I got hooked on it, really hooked. It was the

closest thing I have ever had to an addiction. When I

was tied up, I felt exhilaration, a real rush. For the

first time in my life, I could relax sexually, let go.

When I was bound, I was free.

"It sounds strange, but try to understand. All my life

I had had to maintain control over my sex drive. But

when I was tied up, it was as if I wasn't in control

anymore. I could give full vent to my passionate side.

It was a heady, dangerous thing to do, but I gave into

it. I surrendered to it totally and, unfortunately, to

Gary.

"I didn't know Gary was deeper into it than I was,

actually closer to S&M. Humiliation, my humiliation,

began to play an increasingly greater part of our

playtimes, or 'scenes,' as he called them. I won't go

into everything that went on, but I can't think of

anything that he didn't make me do. Nothing was too

disgusting or vile. He used just enough bondage to keep

me hooked, and I crawled willingly along after him.

"Gary had a great thing going. He bragged about it to

his friends. First he just brought them over to show me

off; first just one, then two, then more. At one party,

he let someone else tie me up. The next, someone else

whipped me. Then he gave me away sexually to his

friends. Parties, weekends, you name it.

"Then one day Janey came home early from a friend's

house and caught me being fucked by five men and two

women, all strangers. Gary pulled her over and told her

to watch her slut mother service each one of the guests

at the party. He told her it would be good for her to

learn what she was going to become one day. He then

held her up against his naked body, with her back

pressed to his limp cock dribbling cum down her white

cotton blouse. He held her there and forced her to

watch her mother suck the women and fuck the men. I

kicked him out the next day and haven't seen him since.

"She was just eleven, but she understood I was torn

between satisfying my sexual needs and the hating

humiliation and pain he made me suffer through to get

the satisfaction I craved. That was when we began to

discover the full extent of the bond - that link I told

you about that we have between us. I wouldn't have made

it through that time without Janey's help. She would

sense when I was getting antsy and keep me busy,

usually with a behavior crisis of her choosing. God,

she could be a real brat. She had to be, to keep me

busy enough to get over my own emotional ups and downs.

"It was only after I was pretty much back to an even

keel that I began to sense her loss. Until you, Gary

was the only man she had ever known. He was her father-

figure, sort of."

I interrupted her. I had to ask.

"What happened to her real father?"

She opened her eyes and gazed myopically into mine. She

was too close to focus, but I sensed the hesitation and

the pain in them. With a sigh, she answered.

"Her father and I were married when I was 19. He was

much older, a businessman and I was a trophy wife. He

saw me at the local college campus where I was a

sophomore. I didn't understand my place was on the

shelf, to be quiet and look pretty. I wanted the fairy

tale, love, romance, sex, children...

"He was a businessman, like I said, and not a good one.

His grandfather or great-grandfather had invented those

metal grommets for the shoelace holes in shoes. Imagine

how many of those things there are, 24 or more per pair

of shoes, more in boots. Instant bazillionaire. By the

time my husband got the company, though, the patents

had run out and the business was all but dead. After a

series of bad investments, me being one of them, he

made a last attempt to merge with another company, but

in the process lost it all. It was a shady deal, but he

was greedy and got stupid. He died within a week. I

think when he realized how badly he had been taken, the

shock of it killed him. He was a very proud man.

"The new partners had set up a sizable insurance policy

with the new merger - a Key man Policy, or something

like that. It was supposed to be his part of the

contract. The bastards had reduced their costs by

limiting the life of the policy to 30 days. My husband

died 3 days before the expiration date. Nine months

later Janey was born. His last two acts, he finally got

it right. I'm sorry he never got to meet Janey. It

might have made a difference... He would have made a

great father."

It hurt her to talk about it. This was her failure,

too. Or she saw them that way.

"Anyway, it took forever for the Insurance Company to

pay off. They suspected suicide, then all but accused

me of murder. The only thing was, neither of us had

known about the policy. I wasn't even supposed to be

the beneficiary. Some ditzy secretary had automatically

filled in my name as beneficiary, and no one had

checked it. They had exaggerated his value to the

merged company by several millions of dollars, much

more than his whole company was worth or had been worth

for several years. And I got it all. Tax-free."

Several of the missing pieces to the puzzle of the past

were falling into place; just a couple more for now,

and then more for the future.

"Where do we go from here, my love?"

She sat up and looked me in the eye. She took a while,

apparently looking for something. Or was she probing my

emotions, my feelings? I felt something snooping around

in my head, I think. I don't know. It felt strange,

like someone else was in there with me.

What passed between us just then, together with what we

had experienced earlier seemed to grow and merge within

the two of us, becoming something real. A part of me

was in her, a part of her was in me. I know, that

sounds corny. I never believed that shit, either. I

just don't know how else to explain it, but something

inside of us had touched the other. Maybe that's what

they mean by having an epiphany. If it is, we had one.

And it was great.

We knew each other better now, and in a different way.

She was finally convinced I was not Gary, that I had no

hidden agenda, and I would not lead her down the same

path of shame and humiliation, nor would I subject her

daughter to that humiliation. She didn't know, nor did

I what path we would go down from here, but she trusted

me. With my cock still embedded deep within her, she

playfully squeezed me with her cunt muscles.

She kissed my lips lightly and gave me an impish smile

before casting her twinkling eyes downward, bowing her

head in a voluntary submissive posture. What she said

next thrilled me to my core, and set the course for a

major part of the next phase of our relationship.

"Anywhere you want, I will follow you..."

This time, the missing word was added.

"...Master."

Chapter 7

I had won the bet. She would be my bride at last.

'When' was another question altogether, but the 'if'

part was now gone.

More to the immediate point of settling up the bet, my

Sally had a bare pussy by noon. With all the frivolity

and ribald comments during the procedure, I think we

were both surprised there were no nicks or cuts. By

2:00 in the afternoon, I would estimate I had consumed

at least a gallon of her cum. There is something about

a smooth, hairless cunt that just tastes better. We

were both looking forward to the frequent touch-ups. It

was to become one of our favorite times together.

Originally, I had chosen this wager for the bet because

I knew she wouldn't like it. Now, neither of us could

understand why we had not done this earlier. She was so

much more sensitive, responsive, and accessible. She

would be shaved much longer than six months.

We were lying on the bed, head to toe. Or rather, heads

to groins. I rolled over on my back, keeping her on top

of me. I slowly moved my tongue over the length of her

swollen slit. The aroma of all of the day's play

combined into a heady mix. It was heavenly. My limp

cock stirred.

She must have had her eyes open, as she immediately

sucked in the pink head swelling right under her nose.

Her next actions told me she was bent on bringing me

off as fast as she could.

"Slow down, my love. Go to completion, but make it

last." These commands were delivered around languorous

licks to her slippery cunt.

She immediately slowed her actions, but she intensified

the suction. It felt like she was trying to suck my

balls up through my penis like chunks of strawberry

fruit in a real milkshake that get stuck in the straw.

I focused on her pleasure to take my mind off the

feelings growing in my balls. I partially succeeded.

She came three times before I exploded into her mouth.

Only then did I release her arms. She hadn't asked me

to even then, but she had been bound for over 5 hours,

without one complaint. She was very still as I massaged

her shoulders, working out the kinks. When she stirred,

I stopped. She rolled over, reached up and pulled me

down to her. She held me so tight, I thought she would

never let me go, and with the strength of her embrace,

I knew I would never be able to break away. Not that I

wanted to. She moved her lips to my ear.

"Thank you." Just that, nothing more. Nothing more was

needed.

And then the old Sally was back. She was in control,

sure of herself, feisty, my lover, my equal.

It wasn't rocket science. But this much I had figured

out: When she was bound, I was in total control. She

didn't even want a safe-word. She had to explain what

that was to me later. When she was free, we were

equals. We both agreed we could live with that. Even

better, I got to decide when she was bound and when she

was free.

She said she had things to take care of and got up.

'Life goes on,' or something like that. I don't know

how she did it, where she got her energy. I was

exhausted.

The first thing I did was take a short nap. Then I

checked on Janey. I wasn't being selfish by sleeping

first. I had seen Sally go in to check on her first

thing after she left our bed. She hadn't seemed anxious

for her the entire time we had been 'playing,' but we

both knew our concern for her was just below the

surface. One noise from her, and it would have ended

immediately. Anyway, Sally had looked down the hall at

me as she exited Janey's room, gave me a bright smile

and the 'OK' sign.

When I checked a couple of hours later, she was still

sleeping soundly, but seemed a little less troubled.

She had tossed the light covers off and one very long

leg and one slim arm were exposed; or would have been

exposed, except she was wearing her tracksuit. The rape

counselor mentioned she might prefer that. Immediately

after a sexual assault, most victims can't come to

terms with their bodies and try to hide them

completely. The bulkier and more misshapen the clothes

the better to remove any hint of gender-oriented form.

Janey looked as if she had three or four layers under

the normally sleek suit. She looked like an

advertisement for that Eddie Murray movie where he

wears a body suit to add a hundred or so pounds. She

even had the ankle and wrist zippers closed and she was

wearing her slippers. I noticed the hood was up over

her head and the drawstring tied under her chin, as if

she were trying to cover herself entirely up. A

twisting knot developed in my gut and tried to rip my

heart out as I began to understand the depth of her

pain, confusion, and hurt. I swore right then and there

that, as bizarre a plan as her mom had proposed, if

that would help Janey, my Janey heal, I would do it,

whatever it took, even if I had to risk losing Sally.

I covered her arm and leg, tucked her in and kissed her

forehead. I had to wipe away a few tears that had

fallen on her from somewhere. They couldn't have been

from me - I never cry. I offered up another fervent

prayer for her quick and total recovery.

I wandered around the quiet house and ended in the

family room. I heard Sally bustling around in the

cellar. It sounded as if she was dragging several large

boxes or crates around and vacuuming. I vaguely

wondered why she would be cleaning the basement, but

dismissed it.

The family room was a comfortable room, like the rest

of the house. It was hard to imagine any room decorated

by Sally that didn't reflect her personality. Of

course, I was just a tad biased.

I turned on the tv and flipped through the channels,

finding nothing worth watching. I scanned the bookshelf

for titles I had read. I could only find a couple I had

even heard of, much less read. No trashy novels here.

It was quiet in the basement again. I looked around the

room and saw a telephone on the desk. That reminded me

that there was something I had to do.

I called the opera house. No, I didn't cancel. I

renewed my season tickets, upgraded to a full season,

and added one seat to the account for Janey. Sally had

joined me in the living room and listened to the phone

call in silence. As I place the telephone back in the

cradle on the desk, I turned to face her to see what

she wanted.

She attacked me.

Not in a mean spirited way, but with sharp fingernails

jabbing for ticklish, tender areas, throw pillows

actually used for throwing, knees, elbows, head-butts.

My gentle little wife-to-be was intent on some serious

roughhousing.

The robes we had thrown on upon leaving her bedroom

were the first casualties. Mine came untied in the

first assault and she tried to use the belt to trip me

up. I managed to snag hers on the second lap around the

sofa. The black silk rope belt we had put to such good

use earlier in the day got tangled in the belt loops

and she shimmied out of the robe so I wouldn't use it

to pull her in. Seeing her boobs bouncing around her

chest was extremely distracting, and I tended to spend

more time watching them move than paying attention to

where I was going.

I was at a bit of a disadvantage. I didn't know what

the rules of this particular game were, or if there

even were any. I still don't know, and don't care, as

we were having a tremendously good time, laughing and

screaming. I bellowed as she drenched me with the water

from a vase of flowers, and I discarded my dripping

robe, more to limit the water damage than anything. I

discovered a cache of rubber bands in a desk drawer.

She shrieked as if mortally wounded as I shot them at

her across the desk. I had her on the run for a while,

her ass and tits my favorite targets. Then my ammo ran

low.

I retreated in earnest after the first swat of the fly

swatter she discovered discarded behind an easy chair

caught my pecker broadside. She had been aiming for my

butt, but I turned suddenly. I hollered "Shit," grabbed

my jewels and started backing away from her in a panic.

A look of horror crossed her face as she realize where

she had struck me, but she quickly recovered from her

shock, shrugged an "I'm sorry" at me, and immediately

tried to hit it again, albeit with much less force.

Fuck this shit! I was going to do the honorable thing

and run like hell in retreat. I had both hands in the

basic 'save the family jewels' position, and was

backing away from her as fast as I could. I intended to

get to a small room with a locking door, but she was

always one step ahead of me and herded me around the

room like a cowboy cutting cattle. Damn, she was fast!

By the time I backed into and tripped over the arm of

the sofa, landing in the dead cockroach position, I was

a mass of red blotches. Nothing vital was injured, but

Sally took every opening to torment me. She gleefully

pounced on this new opportunity to attack my

unprotected feet and calves as they waved in the air

above me.

After several bellows and cries for mercy she said,

"Say 'Uncle!' If you give, say 'Uncle.'"

Call me macho, call me a male chauvinist pig, call me

stupid, call me what you want, but there is just

something that gets stuck in my throat when I think

about crying 'Uncle' to a girl. It has been like that

ever since my Dad told me that I was a boy and had to

be tough, but then I realized he had a different set of

rules for my sister. I made the mistake of hesitating

to surrender and tried to grab my feet to try to

protect them. The tip of the incessant swatter

instantly found my uncovered privates. That was all it

took.

"UUUUNCLE!! SHIT, DAMN IT, OUCH!

She shouted, "I WIN!" and tossed her superior weaponry

over her shoulder. I made a mental note to get rid of

that fucking thing the first chance I had.

Whooping and cheering, she dove on my prone body,

covering the myriad red blotches with smoochy kisses

and "Mommy will make it feel better"-type comments. She

was really rubbing it in that she had 'whupped' a 6'3"

man that had about 100 solid, not flabby, pounds on

her. She was all over me, touching, caressing, and

rubbing. I didn't realize she had maneuvered me to the

middle of the sofa until she suddenly settled her

freshly shorn cunt over my face and announced,

"I want my reward!"

I had been planning on being a sore loser, pouting for

a while, but when presented with her own pouting lips

staring me in the face, I felt I could be gracious in

defeat. I grabbed her hips, pulled her down, rolled and

stiffened my tongue and shoved it as far up her ass as

I could.

Her shriek of surprise shattered into giggles. I hadn't

been sure of her reaction to rimming, but she sure

seemed to enjoy it. I wasn't aware of how much she

enjoyed it until she attacked my soft, sore, tired dick

with a ferocity I had not experience that often from

her heretofore.

The way she was going at it, I was more than a little

fearful she would suck it off and swallow it, as that

seemed what she was determined to do. I had hoped to

distract her by fingering her cunt and clit in addition

to tongue-fucking her asshole, but to my amazement and

immense pleasure, she swallowed more and more of my

increasing length as I stiffened.

She gagged slightly as the bulging head slipped down

her throat, but she didn't withdraw. She forced down a

couple of more inches as I became fully hard. I

switched holes, using my tongue in her cunt and my

finger in her ass. She became frantic in her suction,

as if her life depended on it.

Until now, I had never experienced this. Blowjobs,

sure, lots of them, some pretty good, but no one had

ever been able to completely swallow my erect cock. If

I may say so myself, my equipment is a noticeable

upgrade from the standard, average issue, in length,

width, and head size. Ever since Junior High School and

the first fumbling attempts at sex, the girls so

privileged to observe it have been at once fascinated

and frightened when they encountered my cock in an

excited state. So, now, with my cock completely

consumed for the first time ever, I was in absolute

'pig-in-shit' heaven. Bliss. Nirvana. I saw bright

lights, heard angels playing harps, talked with

Elvis...

When I stopped paying attention to her needs, Sally

began gnawing at the base of my cock with her sharp

white teeth. It wasn't exactly gentle either, and I

began to recount all the things I had said and done up

to this point, wondering if I had made a grand

miscalculation somewhere along the way. Then I opened

my eyes, saw a different set of pearly gates, and

remembered I was supposed to be doing something for

her, too. The gnawing didn't stop as I resumed my

duties, but it did lessen a bit. I think.

I don't know how she timed it. Intuition, perception,

maybe she had a link with me, too. But just as I was

becoming truly concerned for the survival of that most

important of my organs, she slipped a moistened finger

up my tightly clenched asshole. I experienced only a

slight discomfort from the intrusion. Like most guys, I

hadn't had much experience with things up my ass other

than my doctor's finger, but I thought I was doing OK

with it and was even planning to escalate the situation

by increasing the number of fingers up her ass to two.

At least, that was my plan until she twisted her tiny

little finger around and massaged my prostate.

I shot my load unexpectedly into her sucking throat. It

was extremely painful. It hurt so bad I passed out. She

told me later that I made a really weird sound, too,

when I shot my wad into her greedy mouth. Like someone

strangling a saxophone. I didn't appreciate finding her

leaning over me, laughing lightly as I regained

consciousness.

"Thank you." That's all she said.

My mind raced. For what, her reward? Losing to her?

Passing out? Help me, please!

"You're welcome. And thank you, back."

Good. Real good. Meat-head.

"What for?" Apparently it was OK for her to ask.

"Thank you for letting me in, really in."

Score one for the side with penises! We could think

fast with both heads! Yep, you betcha!

"Oh." The way she snuggled into my chest seemed to

indicate that I had given the right answer. Then the

other shoe dropped.

"What's the matter? Didn't you like the sex?"

She held me in suspense, and finally collapsed in a

wonderfully ticklish mass of giggles. We were gentler

with each other this time, and she allowed me to win,

crying 'Uncle' only after I had both her hands pinned

to the sofa above her head and still had one hand free

to torment her breasts, ribs, stomach, etc. I spent a

lot of time at her 'etc.' Even then she held out. I

went very slowly to be positive I didn't miss a single

nerve. Sometimes I went back to check on a particular

area again and again. It was a long slow torture for

her until she finally gasped her surrendering 'Uncle."

But only after she climaxed several times.

Her shrieks and peals must have woken Janey. Or it may

have been the racket we made earlier destroying the

family room. Or it could have been all the activity on

their 'link.' Regardless, the traumatized teen was

awake and wandering the house. She was still groggy

from the sedatives the doctor had prescribed for her to

help her sleep.

The first we knew she was awake was when Sally sensed

her in the doorway of the family room. In retrospect,

seeing your mom and her boyfriend stark naked, their

faces buried in each other's crotches probably wasn't

the best thing to see right after being brutally raped.

Sally tried to think of something to say, but it's hard

to say something socially acceptable and gracious when

your mouth has a death grip on 10 inches of thick
pulsing cock. And a very determined man is gnawing your

hypersensitive clit at the same time. We were

performing a classic '69' on the sofa in the middle of

the afternoon.

Sally slowly pulled her head up off my groin, exposing

my fully hardened length to her daughter for the first

time. She focused on her special link with daughter and

her own extreme happiness and contentedness penetrated

the shell that had begun to harden around Janey,

bringing a spark of life back to the battered girl.

"Hi, honey. How are you feeling?"

"OK, I guess, but not as good as you! Geeze, Mom." She

surveyed the shambles of the room. "No more parties for

you, young lady!" She paused as she looked back at us,

and then half whispered, "God, is that real?" There was

more than a hint of awe in her voice.

I twitched my freestanding shaft on purpose to show her

I knew to what she was referring. Reluctantly Sally

rolled off my face and sat up. I propped myself up with

my elbows, still stretched out on the sofa. Janey

couldn't take her eyes off my erection. I couldn't take

my eyes off Sally. This was a mother bear with a

wounded cub. No way in Hell was I going to make a

misstep here.

Sally looked at me, saw where we were both looking, and

shrugged. We weren't going to be able to ease into

this. All plans for a gradual phase in were off.

"Janey, honey, we need to talk." She patted the cushion

next to her.

Janey looked first at me, then at her mother, tearing

her eyes away from my cock for a moment. I could see

the indecision in the teenager's eyes, the fear and the

pain as she remembered what happened the last time that

she saw a man in my condition. I could also see that

the sexual instincts she shared with Sally were being

activated. Her tearing, blinking eyes reflected the

battle within. I wondered what she was going to do. Was

she going to bolt and maybe never be reachable again or

was she going to stay?

Then, almost imperceptibly, she straightened and I saw

that a decision had been reached. She got that funny

little grin on her face. Her eyes began to shine a

little brighter as her trust in her mother made the

decision for her. She padded toward us, slowly at

first, then with more confidence, more like the old
Janey, and I knew she had made the decision to heal, to

become Janey again and not hide from who she was.

At that moment I was almost convinced that Sally's plan

was the way to go. With this first sign from Janey that

what her mother had said about her was really true, I

was beginning to be at ease with what I had been asked

to do. There was a long way to go, but Janey was

willing to take that journey and now so was I.

The teenager came over and sat between us. She never

took her eyes from my crotch.

"Larry proposed to me today."

"Aww, Mom, he does that all the time."

"I know. But this time, I, uh, accepted." I noticed

there was no mention that I had had to win a tough bet.

I figured discretion was the wiser course and kept

quiet. I could brag about it later, if it ever came up.

Mother and daughter, looking enough alike to be twins,

went through the obligatory female ritual of squeals

and hugs that seems required after such an

announcement. I rolled my eyes at Sally, who was

looking at me over Janey's shoulder. She made a face

and stuck her tongue out at me.

Janey turned to me and hugged me, too, catching me off

guard by her sudden move. I was, after all, stark naked

and very noticeably aroused. She froze after a

momentary hug, her arms still around my neck. I figured

she had just figured out what that pointy thing was

that was jabbing into her side, just below her tits. I

waited for her to wail, cry out, slap me, run from the

room, something. I did not expect her to cling tighter

to my neck, almost strangling me in the process.

"Ssshhh. It will be OK." I softly cooed to the silky

golden hair peeking out of the hooded sweatshirt she

was wearing. Her strands of hair tickled my nose. How

do they always get it to smell so goddamn sexy?

"Everything will be all right. I promise."

I looked up at Sally for help. A fat lot of good that

did. She was doubled over, holding her sides, her fist

stuffed in her mouth to keep from laughing out loud.

Very funny, ha, ha.

"I know that. Just make my mom happy for now. I need

her to be happy."

"I know. She needs to be happy to help you get well. I

promise I will do my very best."

I kicked at Sally with my foot, trying to get her to

jump in, to say something to help me get out of this

before I did something stupid and scared her daughter
away before we even got started. My efforts resulted in

her rolling on the floor, holding her sides. Tears were

streaming down her face and she was making no attempt

to keep quiet now. She thought this was hilarious. I

plowed on.

"But what about you, can I do anything for you?"

Pushing it, I know, but hey, you would, too, with a

traumatized teenage girl lying on top of your very hard

and very erect erection. "If you ever need

'anything'..."

She giggled, and then gasped. Apparently that link

thing had kicked in with me this time and she

understood what 'anything' meant. I felt her hesitate,

then "Not right now, Larry. I'm too sore. Even just

walking in here hurts. And I'm definitely not ready for

that thing, yet." That last word was added with extra

meaning. I understood. She was one tough young lady. I

wasn't going to scare her off. And it would take a Hell

of a lot more than an adolescent rapist to knock her

out of life, too. She was going to be OK.

"I know, baby. But when you are ready let me know, OK?"

I felt her nod. I changed my tone of voice to what I

imagined a scolding father's would be.

"And one more thing, young lady; you are one absolutely

beautiful girl. If you keep on running around with

nothing on but things like that sexy thick old sweat

suit that you have on now, throwing your gorgeous,

cloth-covered tits in my face like you are now, I may

just have to take you over my lap and spank you. On

your beautiful cotton terrycloth padded ass. I mean

hard, until it's as red as a tomato and you are as hot

as a firecracker." I reached down and gave her a

playful, very gentle, swat on her padded behind. God,

even through what felt like three or four layers of

clothing, those rubbery cheeks felt delicious...

She rose up to check if I was joking, her eyes wide in

shock. When she saw my shit-eating grin looking up at

her, she knew she had been had. She made a face,

reached down and wrapped her slender fingers in a fist

and hit me as hard as she could in the solar plexus. It

took me by surprise and she winded me. First time since

Junior High. Damn! I half expected her to stick out her

tongue, too.

"Same goes for you, too, stud. All this hot, hard cock

meat waving out in the open just might make me do

something rash, too." With that, she kissed me lightly

on the cheek, bounced up and landed with a knee right

where she had just hit me. Damn! She got me twice!

As I lay there gasping for breath, the two women

currently in my life, one naked, the other wearing

every sweat suit she owned, ran out of the family room

hand in hand, laughing hysterically at my perplexed

expression as I watched my exhausted, tired, and

abandoned shaft wilt in the sudden stillness of the

empty room.

I was in way over my head.

Chapter 8

On the following Monday I drove Janey to school. Normal

attendance at the school had been suspended for almost

a week after the attack because of the hoopla and the

police and FBI investigation, so she hadn't missed that

many classes. Janey had wanted to ride the bus as

usual, but Sally was insistent and won this one. It was

on my way to my office, and I had several other errands

to do that couldn't wait much longer. Everyone knew

Sally and Janey from the news, but no one knew me, as I

had stayed in the background and out of the cameras. A

habit from my old job, I guess. As a result, I could

pretty much go into town unnoticed.

It was a pretty quiet ride for the most part, which was

unusual. Not that Janey was a chatterbox, but we had

always been able to talk. It was obvious she was

worried about her reception at school, among other

things weighing heavily on her mind. Janey had her

cheerleading outfit and pom-poms stuffed in a bag on

the floor by her feet. She had decided, on her own, to

resign from the squad. Sally and I both thought it was

a mistake to make this decision so soon, but Sally had

been unable to talk her out of it. I thought I would

give it a shot.

"Gee. I'm sure going to miss that cheerleading outfit."

She looked at me with a puzzled look, her curiosity

piqued, but already suspecting that that extraneous

comment was an attempt to get her to change her mind

about resigning from the squad. Her guard was up.

"Huh?"

I repeated myself. "I'm going to miss that cheerleading

outfit."

No response from the far side of the car. I thought I

had better elaborate. Hell, I had started out by saying

the first thing that came to mind. I went with it. I

can't lie to save a penny, but I can prevaricate with

the best of them.

"Well, you see, your mom and I play this game sometimes

when you're not home. We didn't think you'd mind. It

was her idea actually. See, she pretends to be a

cheerleader, I'm this hot-shit jock. We go to the High

School and sneak under the bleachers. Yada yada yada."

This was almost too close to the truth of what happened

to her, but it was too late to stop by the time I

realized where I was going with it.

"She is so hot and God, sooooo sexy in that tight

sweater, that short white skirt and those tiny red
panties. Yup, we sure had some really hot times under

there, and in the locker rooms, both the boys and the

girls. And the showers - you get the picture. Oh, yeah,

once we did it at center court and almost got caught by

the principal. It was great! I tell you, I'm really

going to really miss that uniform. Oh, shit, then there

was the time in the mud on the 50-yard line. We thought

we'd never get that sweater clean again. Bet you

couldn't tell, could you?"

"You did it center court? In my outfit? Ewww! Gross!"

She pulled her hands off the bag like it was full of

dirty underwear.

We rode in silence for a while.

"You really think mom looks sexy in my outfit?" I

figured she was thinking about how much alike they

looked. If mom was sexy, she was sexy, too, right?

I didn't say anything in response. I just made an

obscene gesture with my mouth, beating the tip of my

tongue rapidly up and down between my slightly parted

lips like I did on Sally's clit whenever I could. She

got the picture, vividly.

"Ooooo, Larry. That's gross. You two are sick."

I laughed, and she stared out the window on her side,

ignoring me the rest of the way to the High School. She

made me drop her off a block before the school. I

dropped her off and watched her safely into the school.

Only then did I go to change my clothes before going in

to work. It had been an unexpectedly long time since I

had had a chance to get a change of clothes. About

halfway to my apartment I noticed the bag on the floor,

her cheerleading stuff still inside. I did a 'happy,

happy, joy, joy' dance in the car seat the rest of the

way to my apartment.

I was still grinning like an idiot when I got to my

office. There, I gave my boss the option of an extended

leave or my resignation, his choice. He surprised me

and countered with a home-office package. I hesitated,

thinking it would be more work, less pay and that I

would still be coming into the office five times a

week. When he doubled my salary and my vacation,

effective immediately, and made all contact through

FAX, phone or e-mail, I agreed. Geeze, twist my arm,

why don't you? It was nice to be appreciated, though. I

cleared out my desk, set up contact schedules with my

secretary, who was now promoted to my personal

assistant, and left.

Sally convinced me I should move in with the two of

them full time and made room in her closets for my

stuff. So my next stop was the manager at my complex.

He made noises about 90-day notice, forfeiture of all

deposits, and broken leases.

I simply turned his telephone around, punched on the

speakerphone and dialed the local cable company. When

he heard the receptionist answer, "Hello. This is Cable

Com. How may I help you?" he paled and disconnected the

call faster that I had thought his fat fingers could

move.

I walked out of his office a homeless person, free of

all legal obligations. I had had to promise him I

wouldn't call the cable company again. For that, he

would tear up my contract. I fully intended to keep my

promise to him, as I didn't need to call them again. I

had already placed a call to them from my apartment

before I went into his office. I figured they would be

arriving in less than 3 minutes, probably with the

police. I hoped they would get there before he had time

to rip out all the illegal wiring and the illegal

descrambler boxes he had installed. That motherfucker

had set up his own little cable company, using a

pirated signal, and had charged every single tenant the

normal hook-up fees and monthly service, including pay-

per-view and premium channels. Being caught red-handed

like I hoped he was going to be would mean fines and

maybe even some jail time for the fat bastard.

The cavalry arrived just as I was pulling out of the

parking lot. Payback is a bitch, isn't it?

Sally survived Janey's first day back at school. It had

helped a lot when I handed her the bag with her

cheerleading stuff still inside. She looked up at me

with a question in her eyes. I simply kissed her smooth

forehead.

"Uh, you probably don't want to know exactly what I

said to her, but we should probably make sure to get it

cleaned real good if you were to ever put it on and

sneak into the High School gym with me some night. Have

you ever thought about role-playing as a cheerleader
and me as big hot stud? You might want to give it some

thought, just in case. Or try to remember the time we

rolled around in the mud in the middle of the football

field..."

"But we never did that!"

"I know that, and you know that, but Janey doesn't know

that. But, well, she might have gotten the impression

that we had done something like that. So I figured we

might as well, no?" I gave her my best evil grin. "How

about right now?"

Her laughter was musical, the first I had heard from

her in a long, long time. It felt good to hold her in

my arms and see her smiling face looking up into mine.

It made me feel like I could conquer the world. I told

her about the rest of my day as we unloaded boxes from

my car. It all fit in a tiny corner of the garage. Not

much to show for 34 years.

Sally was pleased it had worked out for me to work out

of the house. She suddenly found she needed me to be

there for her at odd times, kind of like a stabilizer.

She took me through the house, offering me my pick of

rooms to use for my office.

Remembering back to last week and still curious, I

suggested the cellar. She hesitated. Instantly sensing

something secret about to be dug up, I played innocent

and persisted, saying how ideal it would be, how I

would be there whenever she needed, but out of sight at

the same time. I wouldn't bother her with the phone

calls, or the faxes or my music. I suggested maybe just

a part of the cellar could be converted into an office.

Babbling enthusiastically at this great idea of mine, I

grabbed her hand and started towards the cellar door.

She didn't stop me, but she did lag behind. I sort of

had to drag her along, actually. I got to the door and

with a flourish and a bow said, "Ladies first, madam."

She went down the stairs like a condemned woman. This

just got more and more curious.

The harsh light from the single overhead bare bulb

revealed nothing out of the ordinary: laundry area,

heating and cooling systems, water heater, and storage

area. There was nothing down here that should have

taken up so much of her time the last five days. She

would disappear down here for hours at a time, coming

back up without a word of explanation and noticeably

subdued.

I looked around the barren space again for something I

had missed. Ah-ha! A door! A locked door was discretely

hidden behind a storage shelf.

So, that's almost nothing out of the ordinary. I

charged on.

"Not much room down here. It's kind of dingy, too. Hey,

what's in here?" I went over and tried the door. As I

suspected, it was locked. "Hey! It seems to be stuck.

Could you give me a little help here, Dearest?" I gave

her my most innocent, endearing look.

She dug her hand in the back pocket of her jeans and

pulled out an impressive electronic key card. Hell, we

didn't have security like this at my office, and they

handled bundles of cash! I accepted it with a raised

eyebrow. Sally just blushed and looked at her feet.

I slid the key through the reader and pulled on the

door handle. The surprisingly heavy door opened

silently to reveal - nothing but total blackness. I

reached in to find the light switch on the wall and

found - nothing. I looked at the walls next the

entrance. Nothing. I turned to look at Sally.

Silently she moved to my right and slid the card

through a second reader slot in the doorframe. The

lights in the mysterious room came on.

I pulled her into my arms before I went in to see what

was in this special room. She was turned so that her

back was to my chest. I could feel the tension in her.

I put my arms around her, under her arms and held my

hands together in front of her belt buckle. I stepped

back, away from the doorway, pulling her with me.

"I can wait for whatever this is until you're ready."

She let the offer echo against the concrete walls of

the utility area for a while, then brought her hands up

from her sides and held onto mine. Her grip was tight,

like she was afraid of my reaction to what I would see.

I'll give her credit, though. In spite of her fears,

she stepped forward, pulling me along with her.

Together we stepped into the room, into her secret

place.

I gazed around the room, turning us in a complete

circle before speaking. "I don't think I need this much

security for my office, Sally. The guest room at the

end of the hallway will be just fine."

I walked out of the room, taking her with me. We almost

made it up to the top of the stairs before she jammed

on the brakes.

"No." She took a deep breath. "Damn you, you bastard!"

She was so mad she hissed when she said that. "Did you

know what was in there?"

"Nope. Not a clue. Honestly, not a clue. If I had

known, I wouldn't have pushed you just now."

She sighed. "I know. It's just that this is so

personal. It's my Achilles' Heel, and I feel like I'm

handing it to you gift-wrapped. I've never felt so

naked, so vulnerable in my entire life. Do you know

what that's like?"

"I can imagine. I can wait until you're ready to let me

in there with you. I'm probably more scared of that

stuff than you are. You, at least, know what those

things are and how to use them. I only recognized a

couple of things."

She tilted her head back and gave me a funny look. My

admission of ignorance was almost bewildering to her.

Seeing that I wasn't going to push her to go back in,

or maybe it was my sincere ignorance that helped her

make up her mind. Regardless, she took me back down the

stairs and into the room, this time with a sure step.

When she had told me earlier of her previous boyfriend,

Sally had said she had been addicted to bondage. She

had been really addicted. For a rich person, addictions

are dangerous things. For the next two hours she led me

around the cavernous room, showing me her various

collections of gear. Some of it I could figure out.

Others had helpful illustrations of how to operate, use

or wear the whatchamacallits. Many, no, most of the

things down there were things I had never seen or even

dreamed of. And they were almost all custom-made.

Expensive.

She stayed in my arms throughout the tour, guiding me

around from one collection to another. She was quiet,

just letting me absorb as much as I could take.

I had done fine, reaction-wise, until the third set of

items she took me to. The illustrations for this

collection used photos of actual models. The model in

the vivid color photo was unmistakably Sally. My gasp

was very audible in the quiet dungeon.

I couldn't help it. I went both ways. My hands

protectively moved up and gently cupped around her

breasts and my cock, with its own mind, tried to punch

a hole in my slacks. I couldn't take my eyes off the

photo of her, bound and gagged, the red leather of taut

straps encircling her body, highlighting her blonde
hair. The position she was forced into was awkward. It

looked painful, the straps obviously tight. I could see

the beads of sweat on her chin, the high stiff collar

forcing it awkwardly upwards.

There was more, much more. When we were done, I had

seen at least five recognizable photos of Sally, each

with her in the strictest bondage imaginable. As we

left, we locked the door. When it was secured, she

handed me the key, pressing it into my hand. This time,

we made it all the way back to the kitchen. She poured

us some coffee and we sat down at the table, each lost

in our own thoughts.

It was quiet for a long time around the table, the

coffee beginning to cool.

"I'm going to need some time to work up to your level.

I don't know if I..."

Her sob stopped me in mid sentence. The tension flowed

out of her as her relief at not being rejected flooded

over her. She flew across the table into my arms,

spilling the forgotten coffee over the table and onto

the floor.

I only said one more thing to her about it.

"Get rid of the stuff that makes you uncomfortable or

brings back any bad memories. Keep the things you want,

of course, but you and I will build our own collection,

together. Also, take down the pictures. You are truly

beautiful in them, and in some of them I can begin to

see what you like about this. I don't want to share you

or this with anyone right now. I want this to grow

between us, at our own speed. This will be our joy, our

passion. OK?"

Sometimes you get lucky and say the right thing.

She never explained why she had set the room back up

after all those years. I never asked. I handed her back

the key and motioned for her to take them. She spent

several days sorting through the items, and later

several large trucks came and went, picking up and

delivering huge crates.

I went back down to the cellar after she returned the

key. The room was nearly empty, or seemed so, as there

was still a considerable amount of stuff in it, some of

it new. That surprised me. I studied it all carefully,

making mental notes of consistent themes. The photos

were still down there, the entire collection this time.

They were not displayed, but locked in a new safe. The

key was on the top. Inside the safe were literally

hundreds of photos. She had sorted them

chronologically, and they showed her in all sorts of

progressively lurid situations, first singly, then with

one, later with multiple partners. She was always bound

in some manner, but towards the end only minimally. It

was too restrictive for the others. Her bondage was

just a teaser, to whet her appetite, to keep her

hungry.

It was not hard to pick out Gary in the pictures,

especially in the last series. He was the bastard with

his hands on an 11 year old girl's chest, pinning her

back against his groin, forcing her to watch her mother
being sexually humiliated by four men and two women. He

was the fifth man she had mentioned earlier.

I memorized his face. I would never forget it.

Over the next week, I carefully went though the photos,

automatically cataloging the people in them in my mind

as I had been trained to do so many years before. I

forced myself to look at each one. Those people had

touched my love in intimate ways. It was somehow

personal, even though we hadn't met at the time. When I

was finished reviewing them, I locked them away along

with the negatives. I kept the early ones of Sally by

herself in a separate file. The ones when she was

happiest.

I also kept out one other single photo. I took it back

with me to my office. It was a simple blowup of just

the face of a very brave little blonde girl. Crying.

Scared.

Chapter 9

Strangely enough, as exciting as I found the prospect

of introducing bondage into our relationship to be,

Sally and I didn't start using the cellar right away.

She was ready, more than ready, but she understood I

was not there yet. There was a large part of it I

wasn't comfortable with, not the least of which was the

pain involved. I didn't talk about it either, although

I spent many long hours down there by myself, thinking,

trying to understand what this was all about, what this

would do to our relationship, what part I could and

would be willing to play. I had several issues to deal

with. Until I was ready, I wasn't going to bring it any

further into our relationship than it had already

intruded.

As time went by, slowly, the three of us settled into a

kind of routine. Janey had school, I had work and

Sally, and Sally had Janey. Then school ended for the

summer and we both had Janey. She just kind of hung

around, underfoot.

Neither Sally nor I were prepared for her listlessness.

This active, goal-oriented teenager was suddenly mashed

potatoes. By the end of the second week of summer break

I got fed up with tripping over her, getting no civil

response to reasonable questions, and the mindless

drivel she was watching - or at least staring at on TV.

Something drastic was called for, so I did something

impulsive. Well, OK, so I planned it first. The two

girls thought it was impulsive, and that's all that

counts, right? I quietly made several telephone calls

and pulled in some favors. Everything fell neatly into

place, as I had hoped - prayed? - it would. Clout is

really nice when you have it.

That night at dinner I announced I would be in charge

of the entire next day. They could like it or not, tuff

shit. I told them they could call their friends and

cancel any plans, as I was not taking "No" as an answer

from either one of them. I would give them the

itinerary, their instructions and their clothing in the

morning. That raised at least one eyebrow. Then I left

the house. I didn't want to take a chance on either one

of them talking me out of it or digging out the

surprise. I knew my limits with these two and when it

came to giving in and giving up, I was an expert.

On my return with several small packages, Sally hovered

about, sniffing for a hint. But no amount of wheedling,

and God, could she wheedle, produced the slightest

whiff of the next day's events.

The next morning, I got them up early. On each of their

beds were three packages, numbered 1, 2, and 3. Sally

tore into her boxes like it was Christmas. The first

box held a pair of shorts, a half-T, and tennis shoes,

with bootie socks, nothing else. The disappointment in

her eyes almost made me fess up to the plans for the

day. The second sack contained a baseball glove.

Clearly puzzled, and slightly more curious now, she

opened the third. A baseball cap and a pennant from a

near-by AAA baseball team and a ticket for tonight's

game. She grinned at me, lighting the room. It was all

the thanks I needed.

She gestured towards the two skimpy pieces of clothing.

"Anything else?"

I shook my head, grinning.

Her eyes widened as she eyeballed the slight droop of

her breasts against the bottom hem of the shirt.

"I'll have to be careful."

"Please, not on my account!" I said, grinning from ear

to ear. I hoped I had estimated it just right. Janey's

top was even shorter. Both of them would be very aware

of their cock teasing attire the entire day. All I

could do was hope for an exciting game and that we

didn't run into any drunk or overly aggressive males. I

was prepared to deal swiftly should one - or more - get

within a grab of either of my girls, especially Janey.

That would set her back a lot, but I had always

believed that without risk, there is no gain. I applied

that philosophy to life as well as my finances.

Sally went in to help Janey get ready, her infectious

laughter soon joined by her daughter's gasps and

giggles. I heard Janey protest

"But, Mom, I've never dressed like this to go out in

public!"

"I know, dear. Me neither. But it's what he wants for

today."

"I, uh, we both look like cock teasers!"

"Then I guess we'll just have to play the part he wants

us to play. But for today only, clear?"

More giggles followed with some practice tease lines

and outrageous blatant poses in front of the mirror in

Janey's room. I watched from the doorway as both

figured out how high they could move their arms or

shrug their shoulders before they exposed themselves to

their viewing public. It was going to be impossible to

avoid, and they both agreed that if you can't beat 'em,

join 'em.

Sally gasped as Janey walked across the room. We all

saw her bounce in and out of view just from walking. I

guess I got her shirt a bit too short. Sally glared at

me in the mirror as I shrugged an "oops" to her. I

really hadn't meant it to be that short. She then got a

funny look in her eye, pulled out some scissors and

trimmed a good two inches off her own shirt. She

couldn't even take a deep breath without showing it

all.

"There, that's better, don't you think?"

They linked arms, grinning conspiratorially, and

announced they were ready to go.

Over the first hurdle, but oh, so many more to go...

I whistled appreciatively at the two goddesses and

handed them each a light windbreaker on the way out the

door, telling them to hurry as we had to keep to the

schedule. Sally checked her ticket for the time of the

game. It didn't start until 7:00 that night and the

stadium was only 60 miles away. She shrugged and helped

me get Janey into the back seat of my car. Neither

wanted the cover of the windbreakers, so the light

jackets went into the trunk, along with the baseball

gloves.

I took the long way around, heading to the next town

over from the stadium. There I stopped for breakfast at

a health food place I had invested in several years

prior. I had warned the folks who ran it I might stop

in, with my 'special' guests, and they really put on a

show for us.

Janey thought all I ate was artery-clogging processed

foods, and when I pulled into this out of the way

place, she figured it was a greasy spoon, and said as

much. Sally was just as bewildered, but more observant.

She saw the high-end autos in the parking lot and the

sleekness of the clientele. The high-tech, high-priced

exercise facility attached to the restaurant clued her

in that this just might be something other than what it

appeared.

Janey turned suddenly modest and we could only get her

to come in after I had retrieved the light jackets from

the trunk. She was still somewhat reticent, but when

she suddenly spied a young waiter, a 'hunk with buns,'

as she described him, she said she would come with us

if we could sit at his station. Thank you, God, for

raging hormones. I told her I would see what I could

do, and in we went.

I think Janey would have eaten lard on pork rinds that

morning and not noticed. That poor waiter was run

ragged. She had him take back the yogurt, because it

wasn't ripe yet. Then the toast because it was too

light, then too dark, then too hard, and so on. The

water was too warm, there was a microscopic nick in her

glass, her place settings didn't match Sally's and

mine, then they didn't match the table next to us and

it clashed, upsetting her appetite. She almost drooled

as she stared at his butt as he walked back to the

kitchen, again. And again. And again. I will admit, she

was rather inventive and kept him busy running back and

forth the whole time we were there.

I was trying to hold a conversation with my partners,

the owners, introducing them to Sally. We had to point

at Janey during the introductions, as her attention was

elsewhere. Several times we were interrupted by raucous

laughter from the tables around us. Most of the patrons

sitting around us had caught on to what Janey was

doing, and were thoroughly enjoying the floorshow. Some

even helped out, sending the poor waiter past our table

so Janey could get an additional eyeful.

With all the complaints Janey was making, the mangers

were worried that things weren't going well and

mentioned that the waiter, on his first day, might not

make it to his second. Sally reassured them that he was

doing just fine, that the problem was much more of her

daughter's doing than anything else. I, too, reassured

them that, knowing Janey and her determination, there

was absolutely nothing the poor kid could do about it.

I intended to leave a substantial tip for the poor

rookie.

He was coming towards our table, lugging an over-full,

ill-stacked tub of dirty dishes, when Janey gave him

her own special gratuity. Her windbreaker had fallen

open just so, and, as she caught his eye, she winked,

slowly raising both her hands to re-adjust the baseball

cap on her head. It took her a long time to get it just

right. Her 'tips,' framed by the dark windbreaker,

riveted him, as well as several lucky tables behind

him. Stunned, he dropped the tub, breaking every dish

in it with a crash that silenced every conversation in

the room.

I watched her flash him from my seat. I had a clear

view of what she had done and what he could see.

Considering I had only left money, I figured she had

given him the better tip. Mine would just about cover

the breakage. Hers would last him a lifetime.

Unbeknownst to me, Sally slipped him a $50.00 bill and

a peck on the cheek on the way out. Who knows what she

showed him as she did that? Or where she had the bill

stashed?

The next stop was a long ways off. I urged them to use

the facilities before we got underway. Both snapped

very erotic nipple-flashing salutes with an "Aye, aye,

Sir" and marched off to the ladies room. Time passed,

and I finally wandered out to the car to wait for them

there. I was standing next to my car when an old family
friend and his wife drove up and we began to talk,

catching up on mutual acquaintances from home. I had my

back turned to the restaurant and wasn't aware the

girls were approaching until I heard,

"Hey, mista. If we show ya our boobies, will ya give us

a ride in yer big red car? I'll letcha play with mine

if I can drive it. Huh? I get my license next year and

I need the practice. Whaddya say? Deal? Here, feel

hers, too. Hers ain't real, mine are! Feel the

difference?"

My friend turned apoplectic as the two temptresses

clung to me, one on each arm. As they rubbed their

chests up and down my arms they showed my friend and

his wife their goodies. I started to introduce Sally

and Janey to them, but something was different about

them. It took a minute, then it hit me. They had

changed their hair. Both now had twin pig tails of

hair, sprouting out of their heads almost sideways. And

the makeup was either gone, or so artfully applied that

they looked - both of them - no older than 14. 15 max.

I didn't think I could introduce a cock-teasing 15-year-

old as 'my intended' with a straight face, so I grabbed

a handful of ass in each hand and said,

"Sure, kids. Climb in. Say, I think I've got some candy

in my pocket. Why don't you reach in and see if you can

find it?"

I winked at my friend and his red-faced wife, mouthed

'Let's do lunch,' and hustled the two vixens into my

car. They both waved 'Goodbye' enthusiastically, much

to the visible delight of the old man.

I would have a lot of explaining to do to my friend,

the judge, when we got around to that lunch.

Chapter 10

"That nice old man you two were flashing was Judge

Hawthorne, of the State Supreme Court, and his wife. He

was a partner in the law firm with my father before his

appointment to the bench. I, uh, dated their daughter
for a long time. Our families are close, or at least

they were, until today."

"And you didn't even introduce me! Aren't I your

fianc‚? Are you ashamed of me already?"

I stopped the car and pulled off to the side of the

road. They had switched seats, with Sally sitting in

the back.

"I have never been more proud of you. It's just that,

well, their daughter still thinks of me as her property

sort of, and they were expecting her to arrive at any

moment. Her mother supports her daughter fully in that

fantasy, too, by the way. And you know how it is with

mothers and daughters, right?"

"You mean if we had stayed, I could have met a piece of

your past?"

"She was never a 'piece' of my past. I was a 'piece' to

her, like a trophy or furniture. And no, I never got a

'piece' from her. First she played hard to get, then

hard to lose."

"So, that old broad didn't look too spry. Whatsa matta,

don'cha think we could take 'em?"

"Believe me, I would almost pay money to see you two

tangle with those two. WWF would lose rating points

that night. Seriously, when you do meet them, and you

will, don't turn your back on them if you're near the

serving line, too many knives lying around. And always

stay close to at least two witnesses."

Janey's eyes were as big as saucers as she followed

this conversation. At least she didn't think I was

joking.

I made a mental note to schedule a lunch with ol'

Thorny for the next week. He'd already gotten a good

rise out of this story. I'd just fill in a few blanks,

beginning with Janey's attack, to help him smooth it

out at home. He understood daughters. He just had no

idea how to control his own.

Following breakfast we headed to a much larger city

about an hour away, but again it was in the wrong

direction from the stadium. Sally and Janey were back

to behaving like perfect brats. If not clean, at least

it was a lot of fun. Comments about "taking the long

way," "are we there yet?," "is this the right road,"

"is this an away game," 'and "I have to stop and go

potty" came out of the passenger and rear seats with

increasing frequency the farther we got from the

night's destination.

Both girls quieted down, however, as I pulled into the

parking area of a very exclusive section of the city.

Both of them knew exactly where we were. It was a

shoppers' paradise, a ten-square block area of downtown

filled with boutiques and specialty shops. Both had

hinted strongly over the last year or so that this was

'the' place they would really like to visit, e.g. to

spend my money. What they didn't know was that I had

put this whole area together personally, and knew all

of the shop owners very well. The owners were not just

owners, but skilled craftsmen.

This exclusive area was known as 'The Guild' and that

is exactly what it was: A throwback to the times when

the guild craftsmen established the acceptable levels

of workmanship and art, not Wal-Mart or K-Mart

shoppers. It had been hugely successful, even to the

point of being frequently and occasionally fairly well

imitated in other cities. The waiting list to get into

my shops was long and getting longer. The quality of

the work done here was becoming world renowned as the

standard to meet. The prices of the pieces crafted here

were understandably and justifiably exorbitant, and

best of all, it made huge returns for my real-estate

investment and management company. And me.

I had been awarded a sizable stake in the project based

on its success, and I had received additional

incentives as I continued to manage it to greater

heights - and profits. My share had grown to a small

fortune over the last 10 years. It wasn't all paper

profit, either. I made sure I got cash flow out of it.

Today I was going to start plowing back into the shops

a lot of that capital, but if what I had planned worked

out, it would be well worth it.

For the next several hours, we wandered up and down the

narrow cobblestone streets, apparently just shopping.

We were actually on a very organized schedule. Sally

began to suspect something after about the third shop I

specifically guided them into.

The routine was the same in each shop. As we entered,

the artist or shopkeeper would welcome me warmly by

name, making the effort to come out and greet me with

unrehearsed enthusiasm. The other customers, if any,

would be gently, but quickly, ushered out, and a

"Private Showing, Please Return in One Hour" sign set

in the window. Shades were drawn to curious passersby,

and then both girls would be measured in a manner

appropriate to the craft of the artisan. The persons

measuring them would always be women, never men, though

there were a couple of them I wasn't sure about. Sally

made sure Janey was never left alone with those two

clerks.

In the boot-maker's shop they had two plaster castings

made of their legs and lower torso, one with their toes

pointed straight down, the other standing normally. At

the dressmaker's shop, a whole body cast was made of

each of my girls. Similarly, at the foundation shop,

another cast was made, but of only the torso and upper

thighs. For each cast, some or usually all of their

minimal clothing would be removed, they would be

powdered, placed in molds, the quick-dry plaster poured

and dried. Afterwards, they would be offered a shower,

refreshment, and then efficiently ushered back to the

waiting room or back office where I would be talking to

the owner.

We were right on schedule as we turned into the third

to the last shop on my agenda for the day. These last

three stops would be tricky. I pulled Sally to the

side.

"I need to speak with Janey for a moment. Will you

please cooperate and not have as much fun as you have

been having so far today? It is important."

Her eyes danced as she considered her answer. With a

nod of her head, she reached up and kissed me on the

cheek.

"You're in charge today, remember? All you have to do

is ask. I will do whatever you say."

I could hear the devil in her voice. Then she got

serious and her voice got tight.

"I do love you, you know. I don't know what you're

trying to do, but I am having a hell of a lot more fun

than I thought I would. Best ball game I've ever been

to. Hint, hint?"

"Oh, we'll get there, all in good time. Now, please

send your lovely daughter over here so I can speak with

her."

I paused, still holding her close to me.

"I love you, too, Sal, more than life. Cross your

fingers that what I have planned works out."

I think that last part shook her a bit. One thing, I

only called her 'Sal' when I get dead serious. It was

the kind of signal that develops between two people

when they get close. My signal told her I was scared

and on unfamiliar ground. I wasn't at all sure of the

rules of this game or of their reactions. I hoped

beyond hope I had not miscalculated the day's events or

the roles I had them playing.

It was a game, we all knew it. I knew Sally was having

fun. Hell, she needed the stress relief almost more

than Janey. Still, she was over-playing it just a bit.

I hoped she would tone it down, or I would be molesting

them both inside the hour. I'm not made of stone, and

while Sally wouldn't have minded, it would have

defeated the whole point with Janey.

Sally brought Janey over to me in front of a men's

clothing storefront. The girl's bouncing step told me

Sally had not said anything to dampen her daughter's

behavior. Her nipples peeked up at me, flashing in and

out of cover as she came to a stop before me. God, how

much longer... Sally started to move away.

"No, Sally, you can stay and listen, if you want. I

won't be giving away any secrets."

I grinned at her, and she made an impish face back,

getting back into her role for the day. Good.

"Janey, I need you to be serious for a moment and

listen carefully. We have had a lot of fun today, and

there is more to come, I promise, regardless of what

happens now. I know I said I was in charge today, and

you and your mom have given me more credit for being

responsible than I deserve. But I can't make the next

two choices for you. I'm sorry to have to do this

today, in the middle of the fun, but I couldn't avoid

it."

I paused, and not for effect. This was touchy ground.

Well, best said straight out, right?

"The next two stores have to do with blatantly sexual

items..."

Sally's eyes widened. We were standing across the

street from a Tack Shop. Her grin made my heart stop,

then take off like a rocket. She had just figured out

what all the fittings were for in the shops prior to

this one. She was pleased. Boy, would I get lucky

tonight! When I continued, her expression changed from

adoration to mortification.

"...that your mom and I may make use of in the future.

I can't ask you to come in, and I can't make you stay

out. If you come in with us, you will be measured,

probably by a man, same as your Mom. If you stay

outside, I have arranged for you to be some place safe

while your mom and I are inside. The measurements will

be extremely personal and a bit uncomfortable. Do you

understand? Do you have any questions?"

She was thoughtful for a moment. Like her mom, her

ditzy act was just that. She was fully aware of what

she was doing.

"If I go in, does it commit me to do anything in the

future?"

"No. I would never force you to do anything you don't

want to. That's why I'm asking you this."

"If I stay out here, can I still play the ditzy blonde
babe?"

"Actually, I have arranged for you to tour the nun's

cloister, just around the corner. Only women are

allowed in. I don't think it would be appropriate for

you to behave in an unseemly way. Do you?

"Nah. What's the next store? Can I skip this one and go

to the next. I'm not really into horses and that

bestiality crap. That's more her thing."

Sally just about choked on her wad of gum at that.

Apparently, they were after each other's goats as well

as mine.

"Sorry, it's a take both or leave both offer."

"Do you want me to go in?"

This last was said in a small voice, while desperately

searching my eyes for an answer. I leaned over and

kissed her on the forehead. She hated that. Now, there

was no shrinking away from my lips as I spoke so low

only she could here.

"Janey, I only want you to be happy..."

I looked across at Sally, who was waiting intently for

Janey's decision. She knew it was one she could not

help her with.

"...just like I want your mom to be happy."

Janey looked at her mother, and I guess they linked or

something. They both held out their hands to me and we

went in to the Tack Shop together. Me and two very

excited cock-teasing nymphettes.

They settled down quickly once we entered the store. I

swear Sally had an orgasm from just the aroma of

leather that swept over us as we went through the

display area. She stopped stock still, then moved as if

in a dream over to a display of a riding saddle and

some bridles. Equestrian, not human. She let the

sensuous leather of the saddle brush across the exposed

lower sides of her breasts as she rubbed them back and

forth. Her hands first touched and then wound

themselves around in the soft caresses of the bridles

hanging down from the high ceiling. She was lost in

another world.

Janey watched her mother then turned to look at me with

death in her eyes. She had seen this before, had gone

through this with her once before. It had not been

particularly pleasant for her, either. I could

understand her rage.

"I am not Gary. I will not hurt her or expose her to

shame. I promise you that, Janey."

I could not say anything else. I think she sensed my

hesitation with this bondage stuff that I was being

pulled into it by her mother's tremendous needs and

desires, not the other way around. She also sensed her

mother's intense need. And I think she was also a bit

curious about what attracted her mother into it. She

was, after all, her mother's daughter.

The fire receded, leaving a bright twinkle. We

understood each other. Kind of.

The owner, a rather young man in his twenties, came

over and greeted me, as had the other shopkeepers. As

there were no other customers, he simply locked the

door and lowered the "Closed" sign. Turning, he held up

two fingers with a questioning look.

I nodded.

He looked at Janey and blushed deeply. I hoped he could

get through this with his dignity intact. I had warned

him of her beauty, both their beauty, but he was

younger, closer to Janey's age. To him, she wasn't as

far off limits.

Due to the types of measurements he would need to make,

he could not use a clerk. The person had to know the

craft. He didn't have a clerk experienced enough,

anyway. His only helper, an apprentice of less that 3

months, was even younger than Amud. The apprentice had

been given a sudden, unexpected rare day off. The

shopkeeper went silently to the back office and opened

the door. He signaled to someone inside.

I stiffened immediately. The arrangements had been for

absolutely no one else. This was private.

A diminutive figure walked into the showroom. The

owner's eyes were beaming with pride. As the short

figure came closer, I saw it was a young woman, about

his age.

"Mr. Sampson. I would like to introduce you my wife,

Bala. If is acceptable, she will be the measurements

making. She, uh, understands the things you will need,

and has suggestions maybe, if it pleases you to hear of

them. I apologizes it to you, but I will need it to

observe to make sure taping is done correctly and to

interpret. She does not speak the good English."

He waited for my consent. Interesting. He had solved

his and my problems at the same time. I nodded in

agreement.

Chapter 11

The woman next to Amud did not offer her hand. I did

not extend mine. She stood two feet behind and to the

side of her husband throughout the introduction, her

eyes to the floor.

He said something I didn't understand, and I was

rewarded with a blinding smile from the eyes of the

woman as she looked up for the first time. Her eyes

were all that was visible of her face, just above her

'Arabian Nights" veil. Most interesting.

Amud spoke to her and she replied in a firm clear

voice. I didn't understand a word.

"Shall we do the fresh one or the happy one first?" her

husband interpreted for her.

"Are those her words or are you interpreting her

meanings?"

"I am sorry if I have offended you, Mr. Sampson, sir.

Please forgive me. I will attempt to make her words

better in English."

I laughed. She was a most perceptive person, from her

descriptions of two women she had never before met. Her

apt descriptions confirmed the intelligence I had seen

in those flashing eyes. Yes, she understood 'these

things' very well, as I wager the young man did as

well. I would have to talk with him a bit more. I was

also curious about what she thought.

"No, Amud. I am very pleased with the words she uses

and the way you said them. They are very perceptive.

You have reason to be very proud of your wife."

He beamed at her as I said this, interpreting my words

to her. She blushed scarlet under the veil at receiving

a compliment from another man. I continued when he had

finished.

"Amud, I would like to ask you to do something. I am

not very familiar with your culture or of 'these

things'. If it is allowed, please ask your wife to

speak freely, commenting as she goes through the

measuring process. I would like you to translate what

she says literally. If you do not know a word, use a

word picture, or describe what it does. I would like to

ask questions of her as we go along, as well. Would

that be allowed?"

He thought about it, chewing it over. He then asked his

wife. The discussion was somewhat heated. I wasn't sure

who won.

"It is unusual request from strange man. At home, at

old home, it would not be allowed for strange man to

talk to wife or for him to have to hear worthless

prattle from her ugly mouth, even through interpreter.

But this is America, our new home. We must learn new

ways of new home. Such things are not forbidden by Holy

Book. We... excuse please, I will allow it." Ah Ha! His

wife had won!

"Wonderful! Then do the fresh one first. I want the

happy one to enjoy herself as long as she can."

He relayed the information to his wife. She bowed

deeply to him, and waited for his signal to rise. She

turned to me and started to bow, but stopped. She

looked over at him for direction in this new situation.

He said something to her that was apparently permission

for her to speak, as she spoke and gestured at me.

"My wife wishes to thank you for this opportunity, but

says it is dangerous to bow to untrained stallion, most

likely get head kicked in. Please forgive her ugly

mouth, Mr. Sampson, sir!"

He was clearly embarrassed by her description of me,

though, in a way, I was pleased. But then I thought

that the term 'stallion' might mean something different

to her than the picture of raw male power it brought to

my mind. Either way, I had asked for it and I would

take it. I told him as much, and begged him to continue

without apologizing for her. I would take no offense,

as I was sure none was intended. He nodded.

We followed along as she led Janey into a side room. I

stood at the door where I could keep an eye on Sally,

who stayed behind in the showroom. There was a table

off to one side. I ran my hand over the assortment of

leather objects, all made with exquisite craftsmanship.

I picked up a supple whip to admire the handiwork.

I looked up as a sharp command from the woman that was

addressed to Janey, who had been standing off to one

side, looking bored. The woman's change of personality

was surprising, as suddenly, when speaking to Janey,

she was in command.

"Please to remove clothing, young lady."

I raised my eyebrow questioningly at him. He lowered

his eyes in apology.

"Strip!"

Janey looked over at me questioningly, bringing a

tirade from the woman, pointing her finger at her own

chest.

"You look me. I say what is, now! Yes?"

She moved to place herself between Janey and I, and

stood very close to her face, fixing her with her eyes.

I saw the fear in Janey's expression suddenly vanish as

she watched the woman. Later she said she did not see

any bad things in them, just excitement and laughter.

Janey shed her clothing without another protest, even

going so far as to fold them neatly in a pile to one

side.

Pulling out a tape measure, the foreign woman began

measuring Janey in minute detail. Each finger was

measured for length and diameter, exact distances

between her wrist and elbows, elbows and underarm, and

so on. The woman would measure and write down a

measurement on a clipboard. She worked in silence for a

while, moving Janey's limbs as necessary.

When she was through with her torso and limbs, she

began measuring Janey's head. She took every possible

measure around, across, mouth opened, mouth closed,

turning left and right, and tipped forward and back.

She picked up a series of several metal bars and rings.

She put one bar after the other into Janey's mouth

until she was satisfied she had the largest size that

would fit. With Janey's mouth still open, she used her

index finger to touch the soft palate in the back of

her mouth. Janey gagged at the touch.

"You must be tougher to swallow long, fat hoses, fresh

one. Not good to bite off hose of Master.

She put the metal pieces back on the table, and

addressed Janey.

"Make points!"

Janey, to her credit, addressed her, and not me. Amud

translated for his wife.

"Points? Make what points? I don't understand."

She stepped back as if stunned. Turning to her husband,

she made a wild gesture and said something. He pointed

at me, and shrugged.

His wife turned to me and started talking slowly, as if

to an idiot. Her husband's eyes grew wide with fear. I

looked at him expectantly, silently ordering him to

translate.

"You lazy worm! You bring me stupid cow to make

trouble. Waste of time to train this late. Better to

sell to house for sailors. Eeii! May your hose drop off

before you make more worthless babies. This one's

training not even started. How can you expect her to

sing for Gods, if she can not do things babies learn?

Eeii. Tell her, 'make points!' Tell her, 'make dew!'

Maybe she do for you!"

"I apologize for my ignorance. We..." I gestured to

myself and the two girls "...are new to 'these things'

and have a lot to learn. Please explain to us what you

mean. What are points? What is dew? Don't be afraid of

insulting us, and please do not despise us. This is not

a part of our culture, but we wish to learn. Please,

help us."

She stood there with a look of disbelief on her face.

"Your words say one thing, and when I see your stupid

face and this worthless cow, I believe you. But then I

hear the happy one sing, and I think you lying. You do

know some things."

"Singing?

"Are you deaf as well as stupid? Listen to her with

your ears, your heart and your worthless hose."

I turned to watch Sally. Her hands were now extended

far over her head, and she had knotted the hanging

leather straps in loops through which she slipped her

wrists. The short T-shirt was clear above her breasts,

which were as firm and taut as I had ever seen them.

Her shorts were on the ground beneath her as her feet

hung above the ground by several inches. The smooth

side of the saddle against which she leaned caught her

right at the juncture of her thighs. She was slowly

rocking her hips in a forward and back motion, rubbing

her mound against the saddle. There was a large wet

stain on the leather.

As it got quiet in the room and I concentrated, I could

hear the faint sounds of her moaning, but nothing else.

I turned questioningly to the impatient woman.

"You not hear her? She is not good, but she is

singing." She made a sound, making fun of the moans

coming from Sally. "Need much practice, but she has

nice voice."

"You will need to teach us as children. She, uh, likes

to sing. She needs to sing better."

The woman gave an exasperated sigh.

"Eeii. Children in my father's house know more. OK.

Listen close."

She stepped around behind Janey who had been standing

quietly. The woman reached around the girl and lightly

touched her fingers to the tips of her breasts. Janey

flinched as if shocked.

"Hey! Stop that! Ouch! Larry, make her stop. I don't

want this anymore."

The small woman immediately released the girl. She went

over to the table and picked up a leather item. She

turned and addressed me.

"Noisy cow. We use old horse hose stuffed with dung at

home. Now just use this for quietness. OK?"

She held up a penis gag and gestured at Janey. The

girl's eyes widened at the size of the gag. I nodded to

the woman to continue.

"Laaarryy! NO! Please, I'll be qui...mmmff."

Her protests were silenced as the gag slid home and was

fastened behind her neck.

"There. Keeps silence in tent. If young cow not good,

can use in bottom hole before make quiet. Once, twice,

maybe, she learn quietness."

Janey's eyes bulged as she realized the woman might

have used this as a butt plug in someone else before

putting it in her mouth. From her position behind

Janey, I could see the twinkle in the woman's eye. I

could have sworn she winked at me, as well, but I

didn't know if her culture allowed that.

I also noted that with all her protests, Janey had not

made one step to flee, or to move towards me for

protection. If she had, I would have stopped everything

immediately.

"Relax, Janey. I told you it would be very intimate and

personal. Don't fight her, OK? Just enjoy."

She tensed slightly as the woman again cupped her

breasts from behind and massaged her nipples to

erection, but then relaxed as the woman's expert touch

aroused her passions quickly. Janey's breath quickened

and became irregular. The woman stepped away from the

panting girl.

"Points. Points are here."

Her hand wandered down to the soft downy hair covering

Janey's pussy. Her hand moved slightly, and then a

single slim finger disappeared between the tight folds.

"Dew is here. EEEE! Here is also point!"

She went swiftly over to Sally and gently felt between

her legs, without disturbing her trance-like state.

Returning, she spoke directly to her husband, speaking

excitedly. She then turned and bowed deeply to me while

he spoke.

"My worthless wife apologizes for bad names she said

about you. You are brave man, to have two women with

all points in house. Your hose must be truly strong.

You are brave and foolish. But I help teach you to make

sing without hose. Save hose for making babies. Not too

late if cows have third point."

I had heard of the practice of clitorectomy - female

circumcision - still occurring in some countries, but

thought it was outlawed. Apparently it was not. I asked

Amud about it.

"Old men burn off lower point of young brides. Take

life out of bride, but old men can then have many

brides. They no fight, they no care."

He turned defiant, as if remembering an old argument.

"I not an old man. I leave home. One bride, all

points."

He appeared to be challenging me to contradict his

decision. He had left his family, his home and his

country for the love he had for his wife. I bowed as

deeply as I could to him.

"No! No, Mr. Sampson, I am worthless son of

sheepherder. No bow."

I stood back up. "Amud, that may have been what you

were before. What I see now is a brave man with a pure

heart and a true gift. Not just your craft. You have

the rare gift of true love for your wife, and a rare

wife, a treasure. It is for that I bow to you."

He was thoughtful for a moment, considering what I

said. He nodded once, as if agreeing with what I had

said, and then spoke to his wife. I don't know what was

said, but from that point on, she was much less

critical, more instructive.

Chapter 12

"We finish now with fresh one, OK? Come, stand here."

The woman led Janey over to a spot in the middle of the

floor. She moved behind her and cupped Janey's breasts,

massaging them for sometime, murmuring soothingly in

her ear. Janey responded to the gentle touch and the

hypnotic sounds and was soon gasping for air through

her nose, her mouth still gagged.

The woman brought her swiftly to the edge and with an

instinctive skill, never letting her go over. Janey's

eyes soon lost their focus and her facial features

slackened. I didn't know if she was lost in erotic

sensations or if the woman had hypnotized her. It was

incredible to watch. I wanted to learn how do it, too.

The woman let go of Janey and took up her tape measure.

She took a circumference measure of each of the dazed

girl's swollen tits, at the base, the mid-point and at

the nipple. Amud's wife made a small mark with a pen on

Janey's breastbone and measured how far below this mark

on the sternum the center of the erect nipple was. It

was a measure of the sag of her breasts.

The woman took one of Janey's arms and raised it over

her head. A thick leather strap at the end of a hanging

tether was quickly wrapped around the docile girl's

wrist. The other arm followed. With both arms raised

overhead, the woman again measured the distance from

the sternum mark to her nipples. This was a measure of

the lift in her breasts caused by raising her arms.

The last measure the small woman made with the tape was

the length of the erect nipples. She turned to me.

"She bring good price, if want to sell. I buy for Amud.

You name price, I pay, no haggle."

When I looked shocked, she laughed. It was a low

chuckle, sensuous and musical.

"Good man." She smiled, almost sadly, and added, "But

not knowing will hurt them one day. You must learn,

too, and soon." I was baffled by her statements. Amud

made no attempt to clarify them.

That said she moved back to Janey's side. "See here,

touchy milk sacs, firm, like good cheese, size of

prized oranges. Will take whip well, make sing like

angel. Very nice match with rest of carcass. Fresh one

has three-ring points, most cows only one ring. Points

are good firmness, stay hard long time. See? Still

hard! I touch not since start. If you want I show you

make holes for first rings. I use fresh needle. No

charge extra."

She was talking about piercing Janey's nipples with not

one, but three pairs of rings. As much as that

intrigued me - hell, I got rock hard thinking about it

- I had promised her she would not be harmed. Piercing

would have to be her informed choice, not this way. I

thanked the woman, but told her we would do that later,

not this visit. She almost looked disappointed, like I

had wussed out.

She then took one of Janey's ankles and lifted it

straight forward and up. The higher she lifted without

resistance, the more excited she got. They didn't have

cheerleaders in the old country, apparently. Janey's

foot pointed straight up in a vertical split.

"EEE. You sure no training? Impossible!"

The first leg was lowered and the other leg's

flexibility was tested with the same results. Then she

fastened a long strap hanging from the ceiling around

Janey's ankle and lifted her leg out and up so that it

was parallel to the ground. The other leg followed.

Janey was hanging suspended from her wrists and ankles.

Her head tipped slowly back as her breathing quickened

slightly.

Amud's wife then spread the outstretched legs as far

apart as they would go without forcing. With Janey's

private areas fully exposed in this position she took

her hand and used it to measure the length of the slit,

how far it spread, and, with her slender finger, poked

up inside her pussy the entire length. This activity

had an effect on the hanging girl and she began moaning

through the gag.

"Fresh one almost sing. Like mother, need practice.

Lucky man." She paused. "Sorry bad man take flower of

Fresh one. But no hurt left, here or in head. She still

tight for long nights use with hose. Good as goat path,

uh, back hole for long time." Amud had apparently told

her the story of Janey's attack. Her evaluation of

Janey's prognosis comforted me in a way the doctor's

evaluations hadn't. Her assessment of Janey seemed more

holistic, more practical. It was definitely less

clinical.

She looked longingly at Janey's hanging form. Then

turned to me.

"Fresh one done. Now Happy one?"

"Wait. Before you let her down..."

I hesitated, thinking hard. This wasn't planned, but

Janey was still in a euphoric state. I needed to know

what had done it.

"...why is she so aroused? What did you do to make her

like that?"

Amud grinned at me and answered for his wife.

"We soak gag in special sauce. Make new bride sing

easy. Bride want sing more. Fresh one not need much.

Almost ready to sing now."

My look of alarm at the news of their drugging Janey

without my knowledge or permission must have frightened

him. He hurried on. "Sauce used in my country for

centuries. Here, too, by many people. Is all natural,

medicine, not bad drug like brown shit my people grow

in poppy fields. It not last long, not make you want

more. I make myself, in kitchen." He lowered his voice.

"Use on my own precious beloved for special, uh,

things. On self, too, for learning.

"So sorry, not know you not use sauce. Please forgive.

Only use to help sing."

Oh, well, spilt milk, and it didn't appear to be

addictive. Something that effective would never get

past FDA anyway...

I gestured at Janey with the whip I had picked up

earlier.

"Could you make her sing now?"

"EEEEEEE!"

I dropped the whip. The screaming woman came over and

picked it up. She handed it back, fire in her eyes.

"Cruel master use cannon to smash fly. This big stick

for Happy One. Make her sing for Gods all night, maybe

two if master know good tricks. Fresh One not ready yet

for big stick. Later. Year, maybe more, maybe less.

Then use big stick." She paused, thinking. "Please

wait..."

She turned to Amud and spoke more sharply to him than I

had heard her address him until now. His eyes grew

wide, but he kept silent. Only once did he begin to

object, but his wife gently, but firmly, overrode his

objection. She turned and left the room.

"Mr. Sampson, sir. My wife wishes me to explain of a

special tradition in my country. It is only used on

certain occasions. And only in, uh, intimate times. It

brings women very close. Normally only done by family."

He paused, swallowing a large chunk of pride. "My wife
never address me such in front of no one. Not family.

Not strangers. Strong feelings for Fresh one, Happy

one, too. She say she can help her hurt in head go

away, in heart, too.

"My wife act like new woman today. I wanted her change

long time for new home. But now not know if I like.

Feel strange."

His eyes were still wide, as he watched his wife re-

enter the room. She held a long strip of thin leather

in her hand. As he saw what it was, he choked on a

dying protest. Her defiant glare stopped it before he

could say it.

"She will make the Fresh one sing in the tradition of

the Princess. A Princess only touched by finest

material. The strip of leather she have in hand called

a 'Princess Thong.'

"This thong has a special place in our culture. When

daughter betrothed, she take long leather strips and

soak in brine many months. She then place one in her

private place to soak for one month before ceremony. It

painful for women..."

He blushed in embarrassment

"...but effective way to stop making of the baby." He

grinned involuntarily, as he added, "Bride also stay

tight as first time, even after many babies."

His wife was making knots in the long strip along its

entire length, about an inch apart. She pulled them

tight with her teeth. Amud continued.

"Thong takes 6 months to prepare. It must stay moist

with dew and warm, so bride keep in her at all times

except when husband wishes to use her parts.

"When thong is completely supple like linen but very

strong, bride present it to husband. For such a gift of

herself to him, her husband must give gift of her

choosing. Of course, gift settled when betrothed.

Normal gift chosen is she-goat."

His wife was about half way through knotting the thong.

He looked at her lovingly.

"My wife chose gift of baby, which I would give her

without thong." He explained, "You must understand, Mr.

Sampson, I, we wish to have big family, but do not wish

to be forced to return home as paupers. Many babies are

expensive. My wife fertile for many more years. Her

choice of gift was her way of letting me decide when we

start family."

I looked puzzled. I had followed most of this strange

custom, but this logic escaped me.

"A bride must present thong before special gift chosen

can be given. Ever. No thong. No gift. No baby for my

wife. My wife has started 6 thongs. Each time one near

finish, I, uh, take and hide it. She starts again.

Brine hurts bride, but less than poverty.

"As long as I alert and can capture the thong, I

control when we make babies. It is game, as is all

life. She is very good player, very tricky, very smart.

I see now she much better than I at this game."

This was a momentous admission and a compliment about a

woman to a stranger on top of that.

He explained. "Thongs have value. Much value. Because

of pain, many brides do not wish to make for selves. So

they buy from other women. The closer to completion,

the more value. That thong she has is best of all

thongs I have stolen. Is only two, maybe three days

from finish. I almost lose.

"It was thong I had hidden best. If she knows this one,

she knows all."

He looked at me in shame and bewilderment.

"She ordered me - ordered! - to tell you what she

doing. She never talked to me like that before. And how

am I to control this woman, when she let me win? If she

wins from low position, what will become of us here in

America as more equal? How will I win then, if she is

so smart now?"

I sympathized with this befuddled young husband. He had

just learned he was only along for the ride in his

relationship. And he was the horse, not the rider.

Fortunately, his rider was a loving intelligent woman

who loved him very much. I moved over and clapped my

arm around his shoulder, sort of fatherly, sort of like

a comrade in arms. He flinched, but did not pull away

from the familiarity of my touch.

"Welcome to the club, Amud. I learned long ago that men
are never in control, when it comes to women. They only

let us think we are, sometimes. Be thankful for her

love for you. Be sure to respect her and love her. It's

the only way to survive with them."

He grinned ruefully and nodded his agreement.

His wife was almost ready to begin.

Chapter 13

Amud and I watched from one side as his wife completed

her preparations. Before she started, she removed the

gag from Janey's mouth. She brought it to me and said

something as she reverently placed it in my hands.

"This is gift for you for the Fresh one. It will help

her want to sing. Now, I want to show you how to begin

good song."

She turned and walked to the gently swaying form. She

ran her hands softly over Janey's firm young body,

touching every square centimeter of her skin from head

to toe. The thong was wound around her right hand like

tape on a boxer's hands. She brought the supple leather

to every part of Janey. Soft sounds came from the woman

working on the young girl, a crooning from a mother to

her child.

Amud whispered his comments as we observed this ritual:

"This is traditional preparation of Princess for

wedding night. This is done every night for one month

before nuptials. By time of wedding night, she so ready

for her husband, she go willingly to bed of fattest,

ugly groom." He looked at me with a grin. "All

princesses dream of handsome prince, but never enough

to go around, especially ones with political

connections or money. Ritual can be continued after

first preparation wears off to ensure an heir."

His face clouded as he continued. "I have been

privileged to see this only once before, when my

beloved prepared my sister for wedding night with Adar.

Him camel dung merchant. Lea, my sister was prepared

for two months before her wedding. It was not long

enough. Much screaming when he was revealed to her at

ceremony. Maybe help if he bathed, but he is stubborn

man. She not been heard from since she passed behind

her flap in his tent." With a pained look he continued.

"That is her only refuge. As long as she stays behind

flap, he may not touch her or command her. But if she

comes out, he has promised to take her third point -

with his teeth, rotten though they are. My beloved was

very close to Lea. Tried to make her accept her Fate.

It crushed her that she failed her only friend.

"This is the first time she use skills since that time.

See how she move hands over tender flesh. See glow that

come to surface after hands pass over. They say leather

of thong is magic that is a power in it. I believe it

is power and magic of wielder. My beloved is the best."

After a thoughtful pause, he added. "My beloved not

fail my sister. Adar is ugliest man in empire. He

desired my sister's hand for years, since she was seven

years old. My father refused him. Adar set up crooked

gambling game at bazaar. Had he shown his face, my

father would have not played. But Adar used friend of

my father's to lure him to table. He lost everything.

Adar came in and picked up notes my father sign. He

gave my father a choice: daughter or poverty.

"Pride is terrible sin. My father reasoned if we in

poverty, my sister be prostitute. It is better to be

bride, yes? Last words she said to father, not in

anger, were she would rather have babies making honest

living than make sons for Adar. My father is grieving,

empty shell, sitting in tent alone. He has not called a

wife to his tent in three years. They laugh at him

behind his back.

"Maybe poverty is not so bad." The thong was now

hanging loose from one hand, doubled over with the two

ends free. There were no knots in the last 6 to 8

inches of each end of the strap, leaving the leather

flat. These twin flat strips were slapped gently over

the reddened skin, increasing the flow of blood to the

surface. "Ah, this is favorite part. This is where body

of princess becomes confused, believing pain is

pleasure. See dew forming, and points standing, begging

my beloved to strike them."

Amud's wife swung the free ends in a figure '8', making

rapid fire 'slap-slap' sounds as she covered Janey's

body with a deeper red glow from the gentle whipping.

She would switch hands often, never missing a beat,

like a prizefighter training on a speed bag. With each

successive pass over Janey's ruddy flesh, the strikes

became a little harder. Then harder still.

"Now comes final part. She sings for my beloved, a cry

to the gods for her groom." With a flick of her hands,

the thong reversed itself and she was now holding on to

the free ends, leaving the knotted double strand to

strike Janey. The blows were hard now, and I could see

beads of perspiration dotting the skin above the

woman's veil. Her arm never slowed. The sounds changed

to a 'snap-snap' as the knots struck. After a few

strikes, she was satisfied Janey was ready. She started

the final phases of the ritual.

A sound as clear as a note from a flute emanated from

the bowed frame of the teen. She had been hanging in a

more-or-less sitting position before. Now, as the knots

beat down on her nipples and pussy, she arched up, legs

and arms outstretched, into a curved bow.

"Oh God! Larry!" I felt a hand slip into mine and

squeeze tight. I turned slightly to see Sally staring

at her daughter's ongoing climax. She had come in as

Amud's wife had begun the final phase.

The blows to her sensitive areas came at the same rate

as the ones prior, keeping her climax going and going

and going. It was only when her strength was gone that

the bound teen collapsed in her bonds. She was sound

asleep.

Sally tugged at my sleeve. "Larry, I want..."

I placed a finger to her lips to keep her quiet.

"Larry, I want..." She was more insistent this time,

and louder.

Again I shushed her, but this time I turned to Amud and

held up the gag that had been used on Janey with a

questioning look. He shook his head, looked over the

items on the table, and pointed to another one. I

picked it up and slipped it in her mouth before she

could say another word. I didn't know if it was laden

with the special drug or not.

As I tied it behind her neck, I placed a kiss on her

gagged mouth. Strangely, that seemed to please her. She

knelt gracefully on the floor beside me and watched as

Amud's talented wife continued with Janey's song.

The thong was now held in both hands, one end in each.

Using long strokes, the thong was passed over each

erect nipple in several directions. Each knot jarred

the sensitive flesh as the thong brushed by it,

shocking the unconscious brain of the teen. An

ululating sound filled the small room. Amud gasped.

"This is called 'Ecstasy of True Princess.' I have only

heard whispers of it before. Only most sensual females

are receptive to it. I have heard there is one more

step on ladder of... Oh, yes! Watch and listen!"

The thong was slipped between the spread legs of the

singing girl. Bala had one hand in front of Janey and

one behind her ass. The hard knots of the thong were

pulled back and forth over her overheated clitoris and

anus. The notes we heard rose as the speed of the thong

increased.

I was still entranced with the haunting sounds coming

from the hanging girl when I realized the woman was

standing before me, holding the thong out to me to

accept. Before taking it, I bowed deeply to her, and

said simply, "I am honored by your gifts."

When I looked up, Amud was beaming at her with pride.

I held Janey in my arms as she was released. She was

resting comfortably, relaxed. Her blonde head rested on

my shoulder. I could hear a contented purring, very

feline. As I held her, she nuzzled into my shirt and

vibrated as aftershocks of her experience rippled

through her body. A heavy sigh followed.

Amud's wife came over to Sally and held out her hand to

her. Sally looked up at me and I nodded my assent for

her to go with the dark woman. She rose from her knees

as gracefully as she had gone down, stripped off her

remaining items of clothing, and waited for the woman's

next command. The drug from the saturated gag was

beginning to have its effect on her as I could see a

glazed, haunted look in her eyes as she looked

longingly at the leather straps and cuffs hanging from

the ceiling. Her desire for the confinement offered by

them was palpable.

I held the quieting teenager as Amud and I observed

Sally's measurement session. Her session followed

pretty much what Janey's had been before, though I

thought there was much more touching by his wife this

time. The gag stayed in place until she had to place

the metal bar and rings in her mouth. I later learned

these were sizing bits for bridle and o-ring gags.

Sally allowed her wrists to be secured over her head.

Amud's wife used a bar about 3 feet long to do this,

securing a wrist at each end. The spreader bar hung

from the ceiling by a single rope attached to the

center of the bar. Sally could be spun around without

untying her simply by hoisting her up off her feet and

giving her a push.

After the flexion of her legs was confirmed to be only

slightly less that her daughter's, her ankles were

attached to each end of another bar, spreading them

about the same width as her hands. She was not spread

wide as Janey had been, but she was open. The upper bar

was raised until Sally's lean body was stretched tight.

The dark woman's eyes danced as she picked up the whip

I had been handling before. Amud translated. "Happy one

sing now? I know late, but not take long. She very

ready. I do quick, but very good. I no leave mark, like

some master. Yes?"

"Yes. But there is no hurry."

"Wise master takes time for important things. Singing

important." She offered me the whip. "You make sing? I

am happy to teach, or to hold Fresh one."

I smiled at her offer and shook my head 'No.'

She wasted no time. The first stroke fell across the

front of Sally's thighs. The second fell quickly after

the first, landing just slightly higher. The sounds of

the whipping echoed like gunshots in the small room,

but there was little evidence of the strokes on her

fair skin. The whip fell quickly up and down, each

stroke slightly closer to her center.

When there was a single stroke before her sensitive

pussy would be the target, the woman changed hands and

began to make a checkerboard of stripes on the skin of

her flat stomach. These blows were harder, as the marks

were easily visible, but by the time the last ones were

laid down, the first ones had already faded.

I had assumed Sally would begin her song with the first

stroke, so I was surprised that there was no sound. I

could feel Janey stirring in my arms, and as I looked

down, she turned her head to observe her mother being

whipped. She watched as the whip was worked up and down

both arms, extending the transient marks into her

mother's sensitive armpits.

As Sally was re-positioned with her back to us, Janey

reached up and pulled my ear close to her mouth.

"Mom is getting ready to explode. I can feel it clear

over here. That lady is really good." She kissed my

cheek gently, "Did you like my song, Larry? I sang it

for you."

"I liked it so well, I may have you sing it every

night," I teased her, squeezing tight. I was pleased at

her deep blush.

Sally's whipping continued with the soft soles of her

feet and worked up to the base of her neck without

stop. Her flesh was a cherry red, but no one mark was

visible more than another. With all this, she had still

not climaxed. I was beginning to feel the tension

within her myself. I think we were all being carried

along the building crest of the tsunami, looking for a

shore to crash upon.

With a smooth move, Sally was turned to face us once

more. Holding the whip like a dueling sword, Amud's

wife pointed the quivering tip of the whip at one of

Sally's straining nipples. There was a pause, as a

conductor lets the anticipation build in silence before

the final notes of a concert. Then the tip of baton

moved with a flick of her wrist, beating a rapid tattoo

on the sensitive flesh.

Sally's voice erupted in a scream, so different from

Janey's that I was frightened for her. Amud's wife,

however, seemed determined to draw it out even more as

she switched to the other nipple. The sound crescendoed

in the room as the speed of the flagellating tip

increased its rhythm. The tip lingered over her nipple

until the dark woman was satisfied she could extract no

more.

Amud, Janey and I all held our breath as we watched the

tormenting tip drop to point directly at the splayed

dripping crotch. Sally, even in her delirious state

tried to thrust her groin towards the tip, urging,

begging for the final contact. Janey tightened her grip

around my neck and shuddered with a gasp. The link, or

whatever they enjoyed between them, had allowed her to

share in her mother's climax.

The tip dropped lower and then flashed up and in with a

jarring intensity. Sally's voice was silenced at this

seemingly vicious attack on her most sensitive of

areas. Amud's hand caught my arm as I charged forward

to protect her. He simply nodded at her, asking me

without words to trust his whip-wielding wife. It was

hard to do.

A second and third blow fell on the exposed tender

cunt. Then the tip of the whip found its final target.

With a sigh, Sally released the tension that had been

building. Had I not seen it, I would not have believed

that the quietness of her climax was mega-times the

intensity of her violent ones. Janey was stiff in my

arms, lost in her own climax, the feelings she got from

her mom over their link having overwhelmed her.

Then it was over.

Chapter 14

After a surprisingly short rest, both girls regained

their perkiness of before, and we prepared to leave. As

we left, the three women embraced each other tenderly.

I looked at Amud and smiled, holding out my hand. He

took both of mine in his in a sign of friendship.

"Would you and your wife consider visiting us sometime?

There are so many questions I have, so much I have to

learn." I paused, a little embarrassed at my

admissions. "Sally is so far ahead of me. I do not want

to lose her."

He grinned broadly. "I, uh, we would be proud to visit.

My wife has no one to talk to here. This is her first

journey from our home in many months. It is hard to

keep our customs in this open land. Yes, we would be

most pleased."

We exchanged addresses, and found that his house was

surprisingly close to ours. His anticipation of the

visit was palpable, and we set the date for one week

later, dinner. I told him I would call him to make sure

we complied with all the necessary customs to make his

visit to our home comfortable. When he looked

surprised, I told him I would not want to place him in

a position where he or his wife would be offended or

insulted by something offered or done. He seemed amused

and amazed at that concept.

The next stop on the afternoon's itinerary was several

blocks away, and after an invigorating walk, the two

vixens were back in full form. Worse, if I was any

judge. There was not a single passerby who was not

flashed by twin high beams peeking out from under those

short tops, male and female alike. I was beginning to

wonder if we would make it to the next shop without

being attacked.

I loosened the retaining safety strap on the holster of

the pistol in the small of my back, just in case. I had

not told Sally of the gun. I had never brought it into

her house, but always kept it in the car. We had not

discussed guns, and I didn't know how she felt about

them. It was her house, after all and I wasn't about to

bring it in without discussing it first. But after the

way breakfast had gone, I figured I was better prepared

than unprepared. I had quietly slipped the gun out from

under the driver's seat after breakfast.

The crowds thinned out and were completely gone as we

turned the last corner. We made our way without

incident to an unmarked door for the next appointment.

We stepped into a plain entry way and then down a long

hall to a small shop in the back of the deep building.

The silence grew as we drew closer to a heavy door.

"Will a boogie-man jump out at us behind the door?"

I grinned and then yelled "BOOOO" while jumping

sideways. Both my companions screamed satisfactorily,

and then fell on me, beating me ineffectively with

their clenched fists. We were still laughing and play-

fighting - with me losing - when the door swung

silently open.

"So, you're finally here. Only ten minutes late. Better

than I expected, given the ambitious schedule you had."

A tall woman stood in the open doorway, looking down

her nose at us regally. She addressed us in short,

clipped sentences in accented English. Her gray-blonde

hair was pulled back into a severe bun. She looked

slowly back and forth between the two skimpily dressed

women in the hall, examining them in turn, finally

settling on Janey. "So, she came too. That is good."

Turning away from the entrance, she simply said,

"Come."

Confronted with this daunting woman, the girls were

silent for once and we followed her through a small

empty waiting room and continued into a room populated

with clinical equipment. Two identical exam tables were

set up, side by side. Each station was 'manned' by a

younger version of the blonde woman standing in

readiness beside it.

The older woman turned to us. "I am Dr. Rosen. These

are my daughters, Dr. Rosen and Dr. Rosen." She allowed

herself a small smile as she saw the confusion and

amusement on our faces.

Janey handled it the best, as she immediately stuck out

her hand and said first to the elder lady, "Nice to

meetcha, Dr. Rosen." She went over to the nearest

daughter, "Nice to meetcha, Dr. Rosen," and then to the

second daughter, "Nice to meetcha, too, Dr., uh, sorry,

I didn't catch your name...?" The shocked look on the

second daughter's face was priceless and brought a

tremendous guffaw from her mother.

With that, the ice was broken and we all relaxed with a

good laugh. I made introductions and Sally and Janey

learned the women's names were Helga, Inga, and Uta, in

that order. And that the mother preferred "Dr. Rosen."

"Very good Miss Janey, not many people can top our

introduction. I enjoyed the laugh." Businesslike once

more, Dr. Rosen continued, "Now. Janey, you will go

with Uta. Sally, you go with Inga. I will supervise.

You, Mr. Sampson, may watch. But in silence, please."

An interesting attitude for a shopkeeper, but the good

Dr. Rosen was used to having her way. She was also one

of very few experts I could have turned to for the

particular help I sought. I stayed quiet and out of the

way as I watched the two lab-coated women efficiently

strip my charges, help them up onto the two exam

tables, fit their legs in the stirrups, and strap down

their legs and arms. Their legs were spread wide, much

wider than necessary for a simple exam. Then again,

this was not going to be a simple exam.

I caught each of their concerned looks and nodded

reassuringly just as the gas masks descended and they

were instructed to count backwards from 100. Neither

made it past 97.

Dr. Helga Rosen's specialty was the study of female

arousal. Rather than just studying how it happened,

however, she wanted to be able make it happen on

command, to control it. Over the course of her

lifetime, she had developed and invented a wide variety

of electronic and pharmaceutical methods of achieving

it, most of which made the commercially available sex

toys look laughable in comparison. I was tempted to

tell her of Amud's sauce, but declined, deciding to

save it for a later visit.

I had discovered the three Dr. Rosens on a trip to

Norway. After much persuasion, I convinced them that

the need for their services was greater in America than

in their homeland. It took some doing, transferring

medical degrees between countries and getting visas,

but they had eventually arrived with a trunk full of

clothes and their heads full of ideas.

The boutique atmosphere of The Guild attracted

thousands of frustrated rich women, many of whom found

their way to the small waiting room we had passed

through. Business had been slow for about a week. Then

word of mouth started the phones ringing. The three Dr.

Rosens had not slowed down since. It had been a

tremendous favor to me to get this time scheduled for

Sally and Janey on such short notice, but they were

appreciative of my efforts and support, including a

couple of talks with Judge Hawthorne to facilitate

their paperwork when they arrived.

I wondered briefly how the Judge's wife and daughter
would react to the good doctors' handiwork. If there

were women immune to orgasm, I imagine it would have to

be one or both of those two. Time would tell. He had

mentioned at the restaurant something about looking for

some 'major changes' in a few months. He hadn't

specified work, but his wife obviously thought so.

Maybe I should talk with Dr. Rosen and set up a visit

for the two Hawthorn women. I would also suggest a few

modifications to their normal procedure.

But, for now, my two treasures were about to become the

most recent recipients of an accumulated 30 years of

research and experience on inducing the female orgasm.

I hoped we all would benefit.

Sally was into bondage. That was painfully obvious to

me. I, on the other hand, had been hooked on technical

gadgets since I discovered I could attach a motor with

an offset gear to a chair and give my sister a thrill.

My sister was older than I, and a whole lot smarter, as

attested by her current lofty position as a Federal

judge. The only way I thought I could compete with her

was to keep her distracted. I later found out - she

told me, out of pity, I think - that only the first

time I used the motor had it been a surprise. She had

watched me building the contraption in our small

apartment, and my childish manipulations to get her to

sit on that particular wooden chair in the kitchen had

been painfully transparent. She knew I wasn't mean

enough - or brave enough - to hurt her or shock her, so

she let herself be manipulated into the seat.

You could have heard the on/off switch in the next

apartment when it went off, and there was a distinct

smell of burning insulation as the motor kicked in. The

chair just about rattled across the floor, but the

effect on her was a surprise, a pleasant surprise. Very

pleasant for her. She patiently, eagerly suffered

through my modifications, sometimes sitting for hours

in that noisy vibrating chair until the downstairs

neighbor would complain. She admitted she thoroughly

enjoyed most of the revisions, and admitted adding some

acting and sound effects to encourage me.

My technical skills improved as I grew older, but never

came close to what the Rosens could do. I had never had

the courage to try my handiwork on anyone other than my

sister, and we had never done anything more sexual with

each other than that. My plans and designs were the

stuff of fantasies and week-long wet dreams. Never in

my life had I dreamed my fantasies could be real.

I had promised Sally and Janey they wouldn't be hurt,

and they wouldn't. There would be no scarring, no marks

and no pain. But there would be some tiny additions to

their bodies that weren't there before their visit. If

things worked out, they would never know they were

there. Until I set them off.

The Rosen's specialty was small stimulators that could

be slipped into or onto a woman's body and controlled,

either via a computer chip program or a sophisticated

remote control or by simple physical pressure on the

device. The miniaturization of their products would

have made the Japanese envious. Each unit was custom

fit and was individually tuned to the woman's body.

I watched as Inga and Uta taped electrodes to the

sedated girls. The first step of the process was to

find the most receptive areas, the erogenous zones, of

the woman. Each woman had her own individual 'hot

spots'. When found, they could be fitted with the

appropriate device. The 'hot spots' were located by

giving a series of stimuli, electric shocks, to various

areas and then measuring the brain patterns via

electrodes placed over the sexual pleasure centers in

the brain.

The location process was begun in the two, and

immediately there was a commotion in the lab. Inga

would stimulate Sally, and Uta would record a response

in Janey. The link that they kept referring to between

the mother and daughter was measurable and real.

The Rosen's, all three of them, were astounded. They

made some hushed comments to each other, and, at my

suggestion, moved the exam tables as far apart as

possible. There was still some interference between the

girls, but they were able to finish the necessary

measurements.

The second step was to make castings of the intimate

areas of their bodies, inside, as well as outside. A

pliable material was injected into the mouth, vagina
and rectum of each and carefully molded around their

aroused clits and breasts. The material hardened and

retained the impressions of every nook and cranny of

the cavities. A vibrator made from one of these

impressions would fit neatly up inside and would hardly

be perceptible until activated.

The third step was to make measurements of the maximum

size that could be accommodated in each of the cavities

without injury. This is usually larger than most women

think, and smaller than men fantasize. By determining

it clinically, with the women sedated and relaxed, the

damage to their clients was kept to a minimum while

satisfying the fantasies of their male counterparts.

The external units designed by the Rosens were both

mechanical and electrical, with more and more

accomplished with electricity. Vibrations were nice,

providing tactile feelings that could be felt by both

parties. Shocks directly to the sexually receptive

areas, however, created a much wider variety of

possible stimuli and allowed for a greater range of

intensity all with a very small device. I elected to go

with the smallest devices, all electric.

The larger units, designed to stretch without damaging,

started as smaller, soft units that could be expanded

after insertion. They used heat and cold as well as

electricity, motion and vibration to stimulate the

tissues. The Clinic's female clients called these

devices 'diabolical,' and quite addictive. Most had

never before been as filled during a sexual event. Word

of mouth had made the 'cunt-busters' one of the most

popular purchases in The Guild.

The implanted biochemical units were complicated, but

were the result of an accidental discovery by Inga. She

had discovered a naturally occurring substance in the

blood that amplified the sexual experience. It worked

in both men and women, but better in women. After

several years of trials, they had developed a tiny

device that would collect and store the naturally

occurring substance from the person's own blood. This

resulted in reservoirs of the stimulant that could be

called upon at will. There was enough of the chemical

stored in one device to keep a woman in orgasm for

about three days. Continuously.

The small devices, as originally designed, were

activated by pressure. That meant they needed to be

located just under the skin over the pubic bone of the

woman. When pounding a penis, dildo or fingers into a

woman during coitus, the partner would compress the

small device and the chemical would be released,

providing the woman with a thrilling and long climax.

The Rosens had had relative success in Norway, and that

was where I had found them. They incorporated my idea

of a remote release into the biochemical devices,

allowing the woman to experience a totally unexpected

thrill at someone else's choosing, as well as having

the stimulant released by pressure. The devices, now

resembling small, flexible micro-tubes of soft plastic,

could now be placed anywhere in the body. The location

of the device in any area turned that body part into a

highly sensitive erogenous zone.

When implanted into a woman's body, it was entirely

undetectable by touch or mammography. Self-sustaining,

it filtered the small amounts of the woman's own

chemical sex-enhancer from her blood and stored it

until it received a signal or pressure. It was released

in tiny amounts that would just enhance or jumpstart

the erotic experience, but not leave the woman a

blithering idiot. Even if it malfunctioned and all the

reserve was dumped at once, it would only give the

woman the best thrill of her life - for a few days.

That was a side effect they felt they could live with.

Production of the tiny tubes was begun.

Sales in America took off. Some women came in by

themselves. Most were referred, or brought in by the

men in their lives. Some were scheduled by desperate

males without their knowledge, like the Hawthorne women

would probably be. After about a week, the time it took

the tubes to completely load up, the women were hornier

and enjoying sex as never before. Their partners were

reaping benefits too.

The implants for Sally and Janey went in without a

hitch. As they were reviving, Helga pulled me to one

side.

"Mr. Sampson, you are familiar with our research, so I

don't need to explain it to you. We have made some, uh,

interesting discoveries in your, uh, friends."

"Dr. Rosen," I interrupted, "I do believe you are

nervous." I smiled. "Please. Relax. Tell me straight

out."

She looked at the floor for a while, the stared me

right in the eye, and blushed. "We, uh, I, uh, Oh,

dear." She sat down behind her desk. I began to be

slightly fearful of what they had found.

"We ran some additional tests. You may have noticed the

excitement between Inga and Uta when we first started."

I nodded. I had noticed, but Sally and Janey had caused

a lot of excitement everywhere they had gone today.

"Your friends, are you, uh, intimate?"

"Yes, with the mother." I decided not to mention the

situation with Janey.

"Oh. And the beautiful little girl, does she have a

sexual outlet?"

I looked puzzled.

"A boyfriend. A stud. A dildo. Anything?"

"Uh, no. I explained to you over the telephone what had

happened to her. Why is this important? Dr. Rosen, you

are beginning to frighten me."

She smiled and gave a little laugh. "No, no, no. Do not

be frightened. I predict you are going to be too tired

to be frightened. Your friends' blood tests were at the

maximum for natural production of the natural sex-

enhancer. It is almost as if they do not need the

devices. I would suspect they are extremely sexual

women, no?

"You will be a busy man, Mr. Sampson, both from

servicing the mother and hiding the daughter from every

male in the city. If you do service both of them - do

not blush, it is common in many countries for fathers

to teach their daughters - you will need some help.

"I have, in my work, come across several researchers

working on the same area, but in men. One such

colleague, Dr. Wang, - yes, unfortunate in his line of

research, but his whole name is even more so. Dr. Long

Wang. Anyway, Dr. Wang's work and ours here have

coincided. Combining his surgical techniques with the

sex-enhancer can give a man the ability to become erect

at will, as often as he wishes, without interfering

with his natural response to sexual stimuli. If

something excited him before, it will still excite him.

But now, every time he wishes. And the act may go to

ejaculation each time, if not interrupted, of course.

"Like I said, Mr. Sampson, if you are helping out both

of these beautiful and sensuous women..." she tapered

off, then, finally, came to the point, "Dr. Wang is

coming next week. I could arrange to have things taken

care of. It is quick, in and out in an hour, and as

painless as the women's procedure, or so they say. You

would be, uh, functional almost by the end of the day

and definitely by the next morning." She shrugged. It

wasn't her area and she didn't know everything. But she

did know other things.

Always suspicious, I asked, "And Dr. Wang? What does he

want?"

"Dr. Wang has had difficulty getting his credentials

recognized in this country. Many other colleagues have

made promises to help him, taken much money and done

nothing. He would like you to arrange for him as you

did for us, and also for his daughter."

"Before or after the implant surgery?"

"Surgery first, credentials second. We are your proof.

He will teach me the surgery and assist me until he is

legal." She grinned at me. "I want no more talks with

your Judge Hawthorne.

I gave it a second. "Set it up for a week from

Thursday?"

"Good." She wrote down the appointment in her book, as

did I in mine. "Oh, I was meaning to ask you. Does the

good judge have family named Miriam and Judith? Two

persons by these names are scheduled next month. I

wanted to make sure this was not a setup by the

Christian Coalition or Moral Majority. They are such a

nuisance, these hypocrites."

I was surprised the women had visits scheduled. It

probably wasn't a trap, just a 'fact finding' mission.

I reassured her that it was not a setup - or at least,

wouldn't be by the time it happened. I told her I would

have the Judge sign all the necessary papers for their

surgery without the woman's consent or knowledge. I

also told her I thought the good judge would appreciate

a few perverse twists in the placement of the implants.

I had pretty much figured out that he had always

fantasized about spanking his wife - and possibly his

daughter. A few well-placed implants would assure him

of a willing target, the second time if not the first.

During the time I had been claimed by Judith as her

escort, he had encouraged me several times to 'take

control of her' and tan her bottom. By locating some of

the tubes around the broad posteriors of the two women,

the chemical would be released upon swatting, giving

them a thrill if - no, make that when they were

spanked. They could be spanked for a long time and

often. And never know what hit them, other than his

bare hand. Dr. Rosen asked if perhaps the judge would

enjoy it if a device were placed around the anal

sphincter. Entry by a solid object into that tight

cavity would create enough pressure to release the

sexual enhancer. Laughing, we made our way to the

waiting room to meet the four women.

Dr. Rosen coolly shook my hand as we entered the

waiting room, passing me the small remote controls

tuned to each girl's devices. One was labeled "S," the

other "J." With a stone face, she informed me that the

particular modification she had suggested for the other

two patients had been implemented in each of the two

girls, as well as all of the others I had discussed

with her. Both of them would enjoy butt-fucking to the

fullest, as well as many other activities. She wryly

commented that she sincerely hoped I was up to it. Pun

intended.

I was in a slight state of shock as we left the waiting

area.

Chapter 15

My only thought as we made our way to the last shop

was, 'How am I going to last 10 days to Thursday of

next week and Dr. Wang?' Thank God the reservoirs took

a week or so to fill up.

The last shop was intended as a safety measure just in

case either of the two prior shops had bombed. I guided

the energetically bouncing cockteasers into the

discreet, but very expensive, jewelry store. The

fittings here were simpler, but just as personal.

They took the ring sizes of each finger and toe, and

measured the waist, neck, and forehead sizes. The

female clerk then simply lifted their shirts up and

measured the nipples relaxed and erect, as well as the

distance between them. Noticing Sally's pierced nipple,

she cleaned it and checked if it was patent. It was.

The clerk also measured the thickness of the flaps

around their navels, and skillfully stimulated the

clitoris of each girl and measured the length and

breadth. cunt lips were measured as well. Both women,

as well as the clerk, were breathing raggedly by the

end of the measurements. It seemed to me the clerk had

enjoyed - and drawn out - the session. Janey was

slightly shaken, more by her response to the woman,

than was Sally. Janey had yet to learn to simply enjoy

the pleasure received from sexual stimulation, whether

from a man or a woman.

After things calmed down a bit, we went into a private

showroom. Colors were discussed, and skin tones were

matched against color charts. For being so similar in

appearance to Sally, I was surprised to learn that

different colors and stones brought out Janey's

highlights. Janey favored rubies and red colors, while

Sally was absolutely stunning in emeralds and greens.

They also had different tastes in jewelry, though

equally expensive. Each picked out a favorite bracelet.

I selected a necklace with rubies and one with

emeralds, and we left.

After what had happened so far today, dinner was

surprisingly uneventful. Apparently, the expensive

trinkets bought me some good behavior by my lovelies,

as there were no arrests for indecent exposure in the

exclusive restaurant. The owners had waived the dress

code for us as I had rented a modest banquet room out

of sight of the main customer area. I had warned the

maitre de that my guests might be underdressed for his

establishment and, after seeing them, he rolled his

eyes. He was also very apologetic

"Mr. Sampson, forgive me. When you asked for, no,

insisted upon female service personnel for this

evening, I misunderstood your intentions. Oye! Now I

understand. My waiters would break every dish in the

house tripping over their tongues if they were to serve

these two magnificent ladies. Please, come this way

down the back hall. I appreciate your discretion in

this."

As he walked away, leaving us in a sumptuous room, all

three of us heard him mutter, "Lucky bastard. Some guys
have all the luck." Our laughter met the arriving

service personnel, all attractive young women, all in

very revealing attire. He had misunderstood. I wore a

shit-eating grin all through the meal. Only got kicked

twice under the table, too. One of the serving wenches

had tits "out to here", but her top didn't quite reach

that far...

Dinner was light fare. We still had the ball game to go

to. I left an overgenerous tip as Sally glared at me in

mock-rage. At least, I hoped it was a put-on.

The conversation in the car to the park was sparse, but

not strained. Sally, I think, was still trying to

figure out what had happened at the Rosen's clinic. Of

the two of them, she was the most in tune with her

body. She knew something was different, but wasn't sure

exactly what it was. Janey didn't seem to notice

anything.

I had arranged for us to have box seats at the game,

right above the dugout on the first base line. Sally

and Janey loved it. As a cheerleader, I think it was

the first game Janey had been to in a long time that

she didn't have to stand with her back to the action.

It was an exciting game, and the two of them got lost

in the suspense and action of a good hard fought

contest. They were jumping up and down excitedly, not

with the intent to tease, as they had most of the day,

but simply for joy. Their intentions did not lessen the

effects of their bouncing boobs on the rest of the

fans, however, or the players.

By the end of the fifth inning, there were only a

handful of spectators left in the stands as you looked

from our seats on the first base line over across third

base. It looked as if the stands were practically

empty, but there was still a substantial roar. All of

the fans had gradually wandered around behind and to

the sides of our box for a better view of the show the

short shirts and tight shorts were providing. The fans

began to cheer more for the show than the game, with

the loudest cheers coming at times of no apparent

action on the field. The players were puzzled at what

was going on, until they were in the field and could

get a look at my two dates.

At the seventh inning stretch, I bought hot dogs,

peanuts and drinks, beer for Sally and me, soda for

Janey. The peanuts were salty, and the dogs thick with

mustard and kraut, just the way I like them. Two beers

apiece didn't quite slacken the thirst, and by the

bottom of the ninth, I bought a third beer apiece, and

another soda for Janey.

I drank down the top third of my beer and watched the

opposing pitcher strike out the first batter. Two runs

were all that separated the two teams, and when the

second batter walked, the excitement in the stadium

grew. They were at the top of their batting order. We

were all on our feet, waiting, watching...

"Yuck! How can you guys drink this stuff?"

I turned to watch Janey with my beer to her nose,

smelling the brew.

"Janey, don't!"

Too late. She took a deep breath, then chugged a big

swig of the drink, wrinkling her nose like taking

terrible tasting medicine. She caught my eye out of the

corner of hers, and turned and stared defiantly over

the rim of the cup. Ten dagger-like fingernails

imbedded themselves in my arm. I think Sally was trying

to get my attention. She would have to wait, as Janey

had all of mine at the moment.

"Janey, I asked you to stop, not to drink that. You are

still underage."

"So? Who's going to care?"

Quietly I said to her, "I care." Ten sharp pains in my

arm. "Your mother cares, too, a lot!" I looked at her

for a minute, weighing the options available to me in

this public arena. I copped out. "Janey, we will

discuss this later."

She caught the seriousness in my voice, and maybe just

a glimmer of the murderous look in her mother's eye.

But youth, as they say, is wasted on the young. She

turned back to the game, and in the blink of an eye,

was caught back up in it as if nothing had happened.

As it was, she may have been the deciding factor in the

game. The visitors were two runs ahead and one out away

from winning. There was a man on third and the tying

run was on first. The star of the home team, Mac

Washington, hitless for the night, was at bat. Janey,

always one to root for the home team, leaped out of her

seat and stood on her chair, yelling and waving both

hands over her head. The tremendous roar of approval

for her unconscious titty show came right in the middle

of the pitcher's delivery. Whether that had something

to do with it, or whether the pitcher was just tired

isn't clear, but the pitch hung up in the strike zone.

Mac swung for all he was worth and the ball left the

park. The home team had won.

We hung around after the game for a while, then made

our way to the home team locker room. The fans that

were still there, most of them actually, cheered the

two blondes and we left.

Chapter 16

We wandered around underneath the stadium and made our

way under the concrete mass through a maze of corridors

until we got to the one special door I was looking for.

I knocked on the Clubhouse door and the guard opened

it. He greeted me with a big smile and a slap on the

back. He was sort of deaf and spoke very loud.

"Lar, good to see you, guy! You don't come around much

anymore. Coach said you'd be here tonight, though. Come

on in, come in!" He waved me in. He totally ignored the

two girls, something they weren't used to, especially

today. It was if he didn't even see them. I think they

were shocked. I could tell by their faces they were

pissed at being ignored by a man this close to them.

Sally was trying to figure out how the guard knew me so

well, even though her reasoning was going on under a

slight beer-induced haze. Three beers affected her more

than me.

As we entered the Clubhouse, the guard shouted, "Hey

guys, look who's here!"

We entered the open room to shouts of "Larry," "Lar,"

"Sampson" and one heartfelt "You lucky bastard," which

brought a lot of laughs. There must have been a

shortage of towels that night, as most of the guys were

naked and hanging limp but only for a short time. The

sight of Sally and Janey took care of that.

Janey - Sally, too - stood and gawked. I don't know

exactly which scenarios would be in a list of women's

fantasies, but I was pretty sure this would probably be

one of them for most women: twenty-five young healthy

guys on display, naked in the locker-room. Janey was

the first to recover.

"Hi, guys. I'm Janey. Great game! Yeaaaaaa!"

Almost as one they shouted "Hi, Janey!" back at her as

if this sort of visit occurred after every game. I knew

it didn't. She had taken to jumping up and down as she

congratulated them. Sally, not to be outdone by her

daughter, imitated Janey's routine. The cheer following

Sally's performance was louder. I didn't think it was

possible.

"WHAT'S ALL THE RUCUS OUT HERE?" I would know that

foghorn voice anywhere. It still haunted my dreams.

"WHY, LARRY SAMPSON! HOW THE HELL ARE YOU, YOU OL' SON

OF A GUN?"

A man as big as his voice barreled out into the room,

caught sight of me and came straight over. The guys got

out of his way. The lucky ones anyway

"So, have you decided to come back and play for me? We

still got your uniform hanging in the locker, same one.

Just say the word, fella." As much as we both knew it

would never happen, he still tried to get me back to

play ball for him. It felt good to be wanted.

I just grinned at him and pulled him into a hug. He

loved it, but put up a good fight.

"So, are you going to introduce me or do I have to get

their names from the labels on their diapers? Shit,

man! When did you start robbing cradles? Or did your

Sis get a law passed that says two 12s are as good as a

24?"

The guys nearby were holding their sides. I was biting

my lip. He was playing it loose, getting in several

good shots, while I had to be on my best behavior. I

introduced Sally and Janey to my former coach and he

shook hands with each one. I was surprised he shook

them so gently, without causing their shirts to rise.

Knowing him, that took tremendous effort. It also

showed me the respect he had for me.

"So, which one of you do I have to thank for that home

run that won the game?"

Sally and I nodded at Janey. Janey, however, turned and

pointed across the steamy room at Mac Washington and

said, "Him!"

After the laughter died down, Coach said, "Well, little

lady, you have just earned yourself a season ticket to

all the home games." Cheers from the players. He looked

over at me. "But you will have to pay double to get

in." More jeers than cheers, but it was all in fun.

After all the preliminary blustering, he lowered his

voice and pulled Sally and I into conversation off to

one side. I stood where I could keep an eye on the room

and Janey.

"Shit, Larry! When you said they were good looking, I

thought you meant like Judith. These two are fuckin'

beautiful!" Remembering Sally standing there, he

actually reddened. "Sorry, ma'am, please excuse my

French." I knew he was more worried about the effect

the two of them would have on some of the guys and

whether they could control themselves. He wasn't the

only one who was worried. I knew most of the guys and

trusted them. Some of them, however, were new. No risk,

no gain, I kept telling myself. Maybe someday it would

actually be true...

Sally's musical laughter set him at ease, and she

relaxed as she realized this, too, was a planned event.

Her eyes lit up as she figured out she was seeing a

part of my history she did not have a clue existed. We

had never talked about sports and stuff.

"Damn, I don't know if some of the guys, 'specially the

single ones, are gonna make it with the all that, that,

that..." he looked at Sally, lost for words.

"... cunt? Ass? Tits? Pussy?" she helped, laughing at

his embarrassment. Her eyes were following Janey around

the room as well. The teen was wandering around the

room, laughing and talking to naked men as if she did

it every day. She seemed to be remembering every play

each player had made. She was encouraged to re-enact -

with vigor, no less - all the best plays. I noticed

most of those seemed to involve some kind of action

that brought her hands over her head and her shirt up

almost to her chin. I hoped she wouldn't want to do

this after every game.

He roared with laughter. "Damn straight! Her - and you,

missus - walkin' round here with all that tit and ass

showin' may cause some of the boys to forget that

they're gentlemen. And I even had them whack it off

three times before the game."

"I'm sure they'll behave themselves." I was praying

like the dickens that they would. Most of the guys
'dickens' were raised to heaven by Janey's antics, even

as we watched. I watched as Janey walked up to Mac. He

and I had played together in college and then here in

Triple A. I was sorry he had never made it to the

majors. If he ever got there, they would see how good

he was.

Mac and I still kept in contact regularly, Hell, we

were best friends, but I had not warned him about this,

as I had the coach. Mac eyed me across the room and I

winked at him. From his glare, I knew I would hear

about this for a long time. I wondered if he would tell

his wife. She was the jealous type. Nice, but jealous.

We watched Janey chat with him for a while and then

hand him a Sharpie marker.

"Where did she get that?" I whispered to Sally. I knew

she didn't have any pockets.

"Don't know. I'll go find out."

Mac looked flustered for a moment, then took the pen,

trying not to drop the towel held strategically over

his groin. I couldn't tell, but it looked like he was

very, very erect. I knew he was embarrassed as hell.

His personal equipment gave credence to the myth that

black males have big cocks. He was well endowed, and

very shy about it. He had hardly dated the entire time

I had played ball with him, and not for lack of

available or willing women. Handsome and smart, he made

a fine catch. Now, he just looked flustered, wondering

where to put his hands.

We saw him looking for a piece of paper to write on,

and Janey shook her head 'No' as she pointed to her

shirt. His face was a tortured affair. He tried to

write without touching her, but she would have none of

that. She grabbed his hand and pressed the pen firmly

into the cloth, and her tit. The pressure with which

she pushed down on his hand made her breast sag. He

looked at me for a second, gave me a wry 'Fuck You'

look and placed his other hand under Janey's soft tit

flesh to hold it up.

The towel he was holding in that hand, covering his

groin, fell to the floor. I could hear Janey's gasp

even from where I was across the noisy room. His ebony

cock was proudly standing there and she was devouring

it with her eyes. I thought I saw her begin to reach

for it, but he deftly shifted it away from her. He

always did have some smooth moves. I think he also

tried to distract her by rubbing his thumb over her

nipple, but that may have been an accident. Sure,

that's it. It must have been...

Just as he finished signing his name over her right

breast, Sally walked up and presented her chest for

signing. She said something to him and the big man
grinned. His letters were larger this time, his name

scrawled across both her boobs. He gently held the

bottom of each soft orb in turn as he signed his

autograph across their tops. From her shivering

reactions, I figured he had stroked a couple more

nipples in the signing process.

Sally took the pen from him and slipped it down the

crease in her tight shorts, saying something to him as

she did. I have never seen an erection fall so fast as

his did then. Sally said something else, laughed and

kissed him on the cheek, and I saw him give her a small

smile of apology. As she gently guided Janey back

towards me, holding her firmly by the arm, Mac grinned

over and gave me a big 'OK' sign. I knew he meant

Sally, and not just for her tits. He and I talked all

the time. He knew what she meant to me. I just wish his

cock hadn't been so glad to meet her, too. But a near

naked lady in the locker room was too much of an

invitation. I couldn't blame him really.

"We're going to miss him 'round here."

I looked at the Coach in surprise. I hadn't heard they

were letting him go. Something wasn't right.

"That's where I was when you come in. New York was on

the phone. They finally listened to me and are going to

give him his shot at the 'Bigs'. He gets to replace

that guy, whats-his-face third baseman that tore a

muscle yesterday. Mac'll do good. He's ready."

I couldn't have agreed more.

We said our good-byes to a chorus of cheers and

catcalls. All in all, the guys had behaved themselves

admirably, under the circumstances. The parking lot was

deserted as we walked to my car.

As I reflected, my girls had also behaved quite well,

under the circumstances.

Chapter 17

"Hey, Janey!"

"Huh?"

"Here. Catch!" I tossed her my car keys.

"Really? You'll let me drive your Beemer? Really? Oh,

shit! I can't! I don't have my driver's permit with

me."

"Here. Catch again!" I called out. I tossed her a thin

leather billfold. She opened it up and found her brand

new learner's permit inside. "Never leave home without

it!"

"Here, catch this one," came from Sally as she wound

herself around me. We were deep into a serious kiss

when I felt some serious pressure on my nuts. Her hand

was grabbing me. I think she wanted my attention. She

got it.

"Hey, dear? Uh, that's, uh, a little tight, isn't it?"

"Not nearly tight enough, Mister 'I'm in fucking charge

today.' My daughter has beer to drink less than an hour

ago and now she's going to drive? What in the Hell are

you thinking?"

"I am aware of that. But we, you and I, have had much

more to drink than she had. But you're right. I'm

sorry. I should have been better prepared."

"God damn fucking right, you should have. And you're

also right, too, damn you. I can't drive, and you

shouldn't. Janey will have to. But we're not finished

discussing this, Mister. Not by a long ways."

Somehow, I had figured that out already. At least when

we parted she didn't tear anything off my body.

Janey had been adjusting the mirrors and the driver's

seat during our little passion play, so when we climbed

in, she was all ready to go. Even the radio stations

had been changed and she was busily re-programming the

buttons for the ride home. I checked her preparations,

turned down the volume about 70% and nodded. "Let's go

home."

She carefully started the car, pulled out of the lot

and headed for the highway. She only asked for

directions once. I was impressed. She had been paying

attention after all. She handled herself and the

powerful car with a confidence that belied her

inexperience. Being Sally's daughter, I should have

expected as much.

Sally stuck her bare feet up between the seats and onto

my lap. Her groans of pleasure and delight as I

massaged her tired toes soon turned to soft snores. It

had been a long day and one too many beers, I guess.

Janey and I rode along in silence for a time.

I saw Janey check the mirror several times, looking to

see if her mom was asleep.

"Larry?" she asked softly.

"Yes?"

"You know she loves you, don't you?"

I let it hang there, not knowing where she was going.

She continued. "She knew the first time she met you

that you were the one, that you were special. So did I.

When she came home that night, she was different, kind

of. Better. It was like she didn't have this big hole
inside her.

"I asked her what had happened to her and she laughed.

I hadn't heard her that happy, well, ever, I don't

think. And she was sooo excited. She told me she had

met some guy at that stupid party and that he had blown

the easiest and best fuck of his life by asking her to

marry him.

"Don't get mad, Larry. She meant it nicer than it

sounds. She was really, really happy you wanted her for

permanent. That's why she teases you so much by playing

hard to get."

It was quiet, then "Thank you for making her happy."

"She makes me happy, too, Janey. Sometimes I think I

would almost die without her in my life."

"I know. That's why I don't want to mess it up."

I didn't say anything. I wanted to let her go at her

own pace. "Mom told me I could have sex with you if I

wanted. That you would teach me things and make me feel

good about it after, well, you know, what happened and

all..."

She looked over at me quickly, then back to the road

ahead of us. Shyly I heard, "Do you want to teach me?"

"If that's what you want." I was on dangerous ground

here.

She was quiet for a long time. I didn't interrupt her.

"I, uh, oh Gosh this is embarrassing! Um, yeah, Larry."

"Yeah what?" I knew, or thought I did, what she was

referring to.

"Yeah, I want you to, uh, teach me and stuff."

"...and 'stuff?' What 'stuff?'"

"God! mom said you could be difficult! Geeze! OK. I

want to be your little sex toy. Happy?"

"No."

"No? Huh?"

"No, I am not happy. And 'No', you will not be my

little sex toy."

"But, but..."

"Janey, your mom asked me to help you feel better about

sex. She told me to do whatever it took to do that. I

agreed, but only if you were willing. Do you

understand?"

"Yeah. No, not really."

"Janey, are you willing to let me help you?"

"Duh! That's what I've been saying!"

"Do you also understand that I am scared shitless that

if I mess up by either helping you too much or not

enough that I could lose your Mom?"

"You'd have to really screw up badly, Larry. She

really, really loves you."

"More than she loves you, her daughter?"

Janey was silent for a minute. "Oh. Yeah. I see."

We drove a bit longer in silence. I think she was

beginning to appreciate the delicate position I was in.

I forgot she was a teenager. She was thinking about

only one thing. Sex.

"So, Larry? Are you going to fuck me?"

I just about choked on my complacency. "I don't know.

We'll have to see when we get there."

"You don't want to?"

Damn these women and their questions. Don't they know

any easy ones? Like, what's Plank's Constant, or why

are coins round, or do dogs think? Did I want to fuck

her? Give me a break!

"Yes, Janey I want to. I want to very much. But..."

"There's always a 'but,' isn't there?"

"... but I don't know it I will, if we will. Right now,

I'd have to say we probably will. But I don't know."

"Oh, goody!" She sounded truly happy, like a kid with a

lollipop. Whoa! Bad image. I flashed back on the mental

image of her kneeling between my knees. I was jerked

back to reality by her next question.

"So if it's OK if I do it with you, can I do it with

other people?"

"Are you asking me if it's OK if you fuck around? Or

did you have someone particular in mind?"

"Well, kind of, that black guy on the baseball team.

Mac? Would it be OK with him? You know him, right? What

about with him?"

I just about burst out laughing. His ego would never

let go of this one. "Well, yeah, I know him pretty

well. And he is a great guy. I couldn't think of anyone

I would rather have you fuck around with, or marry, for

that matter. You have a good eye. You probably picked

the best one in the room. But, I think his new wife
might have something to say about it, if you know what

I mean."

"Oh. I didn't know he was married."

"Almost two years, now. I was supposed to be best man
at his wedding, but I was, uh, out of the country. She

wouldn't reschedule, but that's OK. Coach stood in for

me."

It was quiet for a long time. Somehow I didn't think

she was done.

"Larry, what was today about?"

"What do you mean?"

"The clothes and stuff. Why"

"You didn't like the clothes I picked out?"

"Oh, yeah, they're cool. But, well, I would never wear

things like this in public, especially where someone I

knew would see me. Mom, neither."

"How did the clothes make you feel?"

"Kind of sexy. No, really sexy, but cheap. Slutty,

really."

"And how you did the two of you behave today?"

"Pretty slutty, I guess. I'm sorry if we embarrassed

you. But isn't that what you wanted? Didn't you want us

to act that way?"

I laughed. "Well, I hadn't imagined you would get into

it as much as you did, but, in a way, that makes it

better. Yes, I did want you to act kind of slutty

today. Never again, mind you, or at least not in

public, but it was OK today."

Now she laughed. "It was kind of fun, but it wasn't me,

you know, and for sure, never again in public. But,

didn't you like it?"

"I loved it, a lot! So did everyone else who was

fortunate enough to see you, too. That was the whole

point."

She looked puzzled in the darkened interior of the car.

I let her think about it for a while.

"I don't get it. Nothing happened."

"Exactly!" She still looked puzzled. "Janey, if you can

look and act like you did today and have not one single

man attack you, or even threaten you or hassle you,

what does that tell you about what should happen when

you act the way you normally do?"

A pained look crossed her face as she was suddenly

reminded of the attack. "But, Steven..."

"Yes. Steven. Steven did it. You did nothing to make

him do what he did. You are not responsible for what

happened to you. That's what today was all about."

Tears trickled down her cheeks and I eased myself into

position to grab the wheel. I thought she was going to

collapse, or worse, relapse into her depression. I

envisioned her turning head-on into an oncoming truck

to end it all.

"You did all of this for me? Planned the whole day,

arranged with all those people?"

"Well, I didn't have anything to do with the fans at

the game, but, yes. I did it so you could see how real

men, most of them just average guys, react to a

beautiful woman."

"They did react, didn't they?" She grinned over at me.

"Did you see Mac's thing? Wow! It was almost as big as

yours!"

"The guys were excited, yes, aroused by your flaunting.

And they controlled themselves. There was no doubt you

aroused them, was there? And you teased them, too,

daring them to do something, didn't you?"

"Uh-huh."

"And?"

"OK, OK! I get it already."

I settled back in the seat.

"Thanks, Larry. I do feel better. I won't forget this."

Over the first hurdle, on to the next...

Chapter 18

We got home late that night and I carried my sleeping

beauty from the back seat into the house. I laid her

down on our bed and then turned my attentions to deal

with the one big problem left. As I left the room, I

remembered my pistol was still stuck in my waistband. I

removed it and placed it under my blazer, out of sight.

I would take it out to the car after I finished with

Janey.

I went to my office at the end of the hall and got one

of the unpacked boxes I had brought from my apartment

when I moved in with Sally. After a quick stop in the

living room, I hauled the box down to Janey's room. I

knocked on the doorframe, the door being open, as

usual.

"Yeah?"

"We still have one more issue to discuss, young lady."

Her woeful look with those big puppy dog eyes told me

she had been hoping I would have forgotten it. She knew

what I was going to talk about and she knew she wasn't

going to like it. "Oh. Yeah. Uh, sorry about that?"

Damn, she was good. That last little wistful apology

almost did in my resolve. But there were serious issues

at stake here, not the least of which was the

consumption of alcohol by a minor. I took a deep breath

and plowed onward.

"I'm afraid 'Sorry' won't do, this time. You need to

understand that when we are outside of this house, you

cannot break the law, period. As long as you are a

minor, you must behave within the limits set for you,

both by society and by your mom and, now, me. Sometimes

you will be allowed to push some of those limits like

you did today. You and Sally had all the freedom that

you wanted to behave as cockteasers. I didn't object to

anything you did, however outrageous. But the beer was

off limits and I made that clear. What you did was over

the line. You understand that, right?"

She nodded, silent.

"Now, about your punishment... I thought about spanking

you for it, but we would both probably enjoy that way

too much for that to be considered a real

punishment..."

"Llaaarrry!"

"...then I thought about grounding you, but you're

moping around here all the time anyway. So, what I want

you to do is to pick out ten books from this box." I

dropped it on her desk. "Then, along with this one

other book I picked out, I want you to read them and

write a three-page book report on each one of them by

next Monday night at the latest. Agreed?"

She nodded, relieved that there would be no pain

involved.

"Oh. Read this one last. This is the one I picked out

especially for you to read. It's one of your Mom's

favorites." I handed her a small, well-read paperback.

"OK, I guess." She was getting off light, and we both

knew it. But it was the thought that counted, I

guessed. She had crossed the line and she acknowledged

I had the right to remind her of it. Actually, I felt

pretty darn good about how it had gone.

Janey stopped me on my way out the door. "Larry, as

long as you're going to act like one, can I call you

`Dad' sometimes?"

I grinned and nodded at her. I didn't trust my voice to

speak. I had tears in my eyes as I walked back to

Sally's bedroom. I had a knot in my throat and wasn't

paying much attention as I walked back down the hall to

our room. I anticipated a quick trip to the car and

then to bed. If I was lucky, Sally would wake up,

forgive me, and I would get lucky. Otherwise, we'd just

get up late tomorrow morning.

I reached under my blazer for my gun. Just as the

realization was sinking in that it wasn't there, I

heard the distinctive sounds of a round being chambered

in the large caliber automatic.

"Looking for something, big fella?" It was said

jokingly, but I wasn't' laughing.

I didn't move. Not a muscle. I didn't even breathe.

"This isn't funny, is it."

"No." I waited a second. "Sally, is the gun pointed at

me?"

"Yes."

"Sal, I want you to listen very carefully. Move very

slowly and point the gun out the window."

"OK."

"Now put it down very gently on the bed." I heard her

moving as she turned to put it down.

BOOOM!

The sound of the gunshot filled the house. I waited for

what seemed like an eternity for that certain sickening

feeling of pain, the thud you hear when the bullet

strikes your flesh, then the crunch of the bone, the

slamming impact as the speeding lead projectile

penetrates the tissue, deforms and dissipates all its

energy on the internal organs.

That moment of waiting seemed to last forever. But

nothing happened. The bullet had missed me. Spinning, I

saw Sally with a ghastly look on her face, horrified,

but no blood. The gun had discharged as she placed it

on the bed. The kick had thrown it from her hand,

fortunately without ripping off a finger. There was a

large hole in the center of mattress and the smell of

cordite filled the room.

I picked up the gun and flicked the safety back on.

"I didn't know the safety was off." The little voice of

a scared little girl whimpered.

Of all of the stupid things to say, that was probably

the stupidest, but the truest, as well. I bit my tongue

so I wouldn't speak what I was thinking. I checked my

crotch and the floor for a wet spot, instead. I was

still shaking.

"Is it safe to come out now?" Janey's quivering voice

came down the hall.

"NO! Oh hell! Yes, Honey, everything's OK, but go to

bed. Goodnight."

"Goodnight, Mom. Goodnight...Larry."

I put the gun in the nightstand and crawled into bed.

"Are you mad at me?"

I thought about it. "No. Not really. Scared shitless,

but I'm not mad at you. Sorry about the gun. I

shouldn't have brought it into the house at all. My

fault."

"No. I know better than to play with unfamiliar guns. I

haven't ever seen one like yours. My fault." I didn't

disagree.

Sally snuggled up against me and reached around me to

fondle my limpness. "You were scared, weren't you?" I

didn't respond as usual to her magical touch. Like I

said before, self-preservation and all...

"Yes."

She fondled me gently for a while longer, eventually

having the predicable effect. Then reaching lower and

grabbing my balls, she applied some pressure, more than

playful pressure. I sensed she wanted my attention.

"We have some unfinished business."

"Uh-huh," I forced out between clenched teeth.

"You were in charge today, and Janey drank beer. Then

you let her drive. I was willing to trust you, up to a

point. So you got lucky and everything turned out OK.

Well, better than OK, pretty good, actually. But I

think you need a reminder about just how much

responsibility it is to be in charge, especially in

charge of a teenaged girl, especially when that girl is

my daughter!"

I waited for her verdict. She was going to be the

judge, jury and executioner, what with her hand firmly

grasping my nuts. "There will be no action for this

puppy for - how long does Janey have to read those

books? Six days? Agreed?

I shook my head and got a firmer squeeze of my nuts in

return.

"Wait!" I gasped. "Before you do some real damage, I am

not refusing to accept the consequences for what

happened today. I was responsible, and allowed

something to slip through the cracks. What I disagree

with is that I don't like using sex, or no sex,

actually, as a punishment. I don't think its right." I

paused waiting for her response. Nothing. She was not

in a negotiating mood.

"But if that's what you want," she nodded her head

against my back, "then you'll be on the same

restrictions for the same length of time for playing

with my gun. My other gun."

"Oh." Silence. "Well, fair's fair, I guess."

"It's going to be a long six days."

"What's the matter, don't you think you can do it?"

"Oh, I can do it, no sweat. I was just worried about

you, babe." She hated to be called that.

For that I got a punch in the ribs. "Want to make a bet

on it?"

"No thanks. I cherish everything I have too much. I'm

afraid of what I might lose."

"Silly man, don't you know you'll never get rid of me?"

"No, I didn't. But it's nice to know how you feel about

me. Goodnight sweetie."

"Goodnight. 'Dad.'"

"Geeze, what did you do, listen at the door?"

"Uh-huh. I'm a Mom, remember? It's in my job

description. 'Night!"

Women!

Chapter 19

The next morning Janey bounced into the kitchen, full

of energy and noise. She was greeted by the sullen

expressions of two horny adults who knew they weren't

going to be getting satisfaction for another 5 long

nights. It didn't deter her or dampen her obvious

energy in the slightest. She was wearing, if you could

call it that, one of the wispiest, sheerest short

nightgowns I had ever seen her wear, and nothing else.

A blind man could have seen her she was so exposed.

It didn't do anything to relieve my hard-on. It did

even less when she came over and sat on my lap,

directly on my stiff cock. She wiggled around until the

tip slipped out of my pajama bottoms and up between her

firm thighs.

"Good Morning, Dad. Sleep well?"

I eyed her suspiciously. Just as I thought, she was

grinning impishly. I grunted and focused on not raping

her right there on the granola and yogurt.

"I'm sorry if I got you in trouble. Really, I am. Is

there anything I can do to make it better?" She wiggled

her firm ass suggestively on my cock. It slipped a

little further between her thighs. Her seductive and

sexy actions belied the innocent expression on her

face. She knew exactly what she was doing and the

effect she was having on me.

"It's all right, Honey. I'll survive. But," I lifted

her up and off my lap, "this definitely isn't going to

help me survive."

"I know. I just couldn't help it. I borrowed one of

Mom's sexy things to tease you." She posed obscenely

for me. "Don't you think mom would look hot in this,

Dad? Huh? How about like this?" She bent over facing

away from me. "Or maybe like this?" She cleared the

dishes from in front of me and hopped up on the table.

She spread her legs wide, dipped a finger in the butter

and slicked up her cunt lips. "Oooh, I bet it would go

in so smoooooth."

In desperation I stood up and went to the refrigerator.

There, I got a pitcher of ice water and calmly poured

half of it over her head. She sat on the table stunned,

sputtering. The thin material of her gown clung like a

second skin to her near naked body, giving me serious

second thoughts about the wisdom of my actions. I don't

recall ever seeing anything so God Damned sexy as she

looked right then. The second half of the pitcher I

poured down the front of my pajama bottoms. It was the

best relief I could imagine, and for the first time I

could remember since I had seen them in their short T-

shirts and tight shorts the morning before, I was not

achingly erect.

"Go get dressed, Janey, you'll catch cold running

around all wet like that."

She glared at me then burst out laughing. "I was just

trying to make it even. Mom's taking it worse than you

are!"

I looked over at Sally, surprised. Then I noticed the

red eyes and the puffy lids, signs of a sleepless

night. She gave me a wan smile.

She nodded at the pitcher of ice water. "Nice move. I

wondered how you'd get out of it. She was determined to

break you. For my sake, even if it meant having sex

with you. Though I don't think the little scamp would

have particularly minded doing it, at that. I'll have

to remember that trick with the water. Messy, though."

She nodded her head towards the corner. "Mop's in

there."

I looked over to Janey. "No fair taking sides, kid.

This is between your mom and me, OK?"

"OK. Sorry." She dripped out of the kitchen.

I turned back to the corner, headed for the mop and

bucket. "Sally, did she mean, 'Sorry,' as in Mom, I'm

sorry it didn't work, or as in Larry, I'm sorry I

teased you?"

"Hell if I know. But if you hadn't dumped water on her,

I was about ready to jump her bones."

"Sally!"

"Hey, if it feels good..."

"No cheating. Agreed?"

Her agreement was a long time coming. But she gave her

word very reluctantly.

The week passed. And passed. And passed again. It

seemed to have gone by several times over. And then it

was the next day. Friday lasted a week. Saturday lasted

two weeks. Saturday night we couldn't even be in the

same room, none of the three of us. Fortunately, it was

a big house. I slept on the couch, until Sally came out

and said it was worse being miserable alone than being

miserable together. We agreed not to hold any

grumpiness against each other, given the circumstances.

However, I knew my limits. I wouldn't go in to the

bedroom. She slept with me on the couch. That was

worse.

Sunday I had several calls to make to arrange for the

visit of Amud and his wife. We spent a leisurely time

on the telephone, and by the time we were finished, the

evening had been arranged. I hoped Sally would be

pleased. I also made several calls to arrange the next

"Family Day." I wasn't sure Sally would like the next

special day's events. But it had to be done and it

wouldn't kill her.

Monday I got up early, took an icy cold shower, and

went to my office down the hall. There I closed the

door and got to work. At ten o'clock the door to the

office slammed open. Sally stood there gesticulating,

clearly exasperated. It was almost comical. Her mouth

was moving, but she said nothing. Not a word. At

eleven, it was the same. At twelve thirty she burst in.

"What in the Hell did you give that girl to read. I am

going crazy."

A distinct giggle came from Janey's room.

"What's she reading, one of your filthy books?"

I thought back to the books in the box. Ooops.

"Actually, it's one of yours. I gave her your copy of

'The story of O' that I found in the library stuck

behind the encyclopedias."

"Oh, great! Just fucking great! Well, young lady," she

yelled down the hallway, "it doesn't take that long to

read the damn book!"

"I'm memorizing the good parts. There are a lot of

them, ya' know," came laughing reply from the closed

room.

"Well, keep both hands on the book, damn it. You're

driving me crazy!"

A musical tinkling came back at her. "Sooorrrry."

The office door slammed shut. I wondered how the house

stayed intact with the amount of slamming and banging I

heard for the rest of the afternoon. Dinner was two

slices of bread and a piece of cheese. And ice water. I

considered soaking my dick in it.

That night we both went to bed and slept as far apart

as possible. The seconds ticked by an hour apart.

BRRAALLLATTTT!

I had apparently dozed off. My alarm went off at 11:59.

One minute to Tuesday. I had set it to the Atomic Clock

in Boulder, CO. I was taking no chances on cheating.

RRRRRIIIIINNNGGG!

Her alarm went off seconds later.

We lay there, letting the last 30 seconds of Hell end.

"NOW, Damn it. Fuck me, Larry. Please?"

I rolled over on top of her nude body. My iron hard

prick rested between her thighs riding up onto her

stomach. This was not going to be a finesse fuck.

Neither of us had the need - or the patience - for

that. This was going to be a race to the finish, two,

three strokes tops. I cocked my hips, moving the

throbbing head of my cock to nudge against her swollen

cunt. I was all set to go, but first, I wanted to

extract a simple promise...

"Sal, give me your word we'll never do this again,"

referring to the enforced celibacy. I pressed forward

so that the tip split her lips open just slightly.

"Lar, give me your fucking cock, or we'll never do this

again." She emphasized her words with thrusts of her

hips, trying to force more of my cock into her.

Leaning heavily on my elbows, I placed my hands on her

chest and pressed her down onto the mattress. As she

couldn't slide any lower without ripping her tits off

her chest, she was foiled in her attempts to impale

herself on me. But I did move to allow the whole of my

cock head to slip inside her. The hot, tight lips of

her pussy closed around the corona. I swear it was

trying to suck me in. I tried again.

"Sal, I'm serious. This has been the hardest week of my

life. Please promise me. Never again will we withhold

sex as a punishment."

"I don't give a shit how hard you have been. It hasn't

been easy for me, either. And giving Janey that book

was a low blow, dirty. I only care that you're hard

now. Now shut up and fuck me. Or pull out and let me do

myself."

I didn't pull out. I didn't go in. I stayed very still

and kept her pinned to the bed. What had begun as a

frenzied fuck, a race to the finish, had become a

contest of wills. There suddenly seemed to be a whole

lot more at stake here than I had imagined. Why is that

always the case when it comes to women and sex?

I felt her first contractions begin as a light flutter

and then her pussy clamped down on the head of my cock.

If cunts had teeth, you could have called me Ichabod. I

knew I had to do something but the only thing I could

do was to focus on not coming myself. I centered

myself, remembering something a martial arts sensei had

told me years ago when I took karate in high school. I

emptied my mind and imagined a fist, tight around the

neck of my cock. I willed myself not to cum, squeezing

that fist tighter and tighter, blocking the egress of

the ejaculate.

I heard a gasp from Sally. It brought me back from

wherever I had been in my mind. I was afraid I had hurt
her. I opened my eyes to find her looking up at me, a

startled look in her eyes. Her face was wet, as if she

had been crying, or more likely, I had been. As I

became more aware, I felt that my whole body was

drenched in sweat. Her face was covered in my sweat

that had dripped down off my face above hers.

I looked down at my hands that had been holding onto

her soft breasts, fearful of the damage I had done to

them. They were a good inch off her chest. She was not

pinned to the mattress, yet she had not moved down my

prick.

"OK, Uncle. You win. I promise we will never again

withhold sex from each other in anger or punishment.

Now," she looked up at me with concern, "if you're OK,

can we do it now?"

"Yes, Love." I shoved into her as gently as I could,

but it still felt like a yard engine shuttling freight

cars in a rail yard. She came in two strokes. I heard a

cry from underneath me, and an echo in the doorway.

Turning my head, I saw Janey standing in the door,

trembling, sharing the force of her mother's orgasm. As

it subsided, I called her over to the bed. She needed

to be held.

They came three more times before I let go of the fist

around my cock. It wasn't as bad as it sounds, really.

The next two orgasms they experienced were one on top

of the other. It was the last one that took a while.

The immediate edge was off and she made me work for

this one. When I came, I flooded her.

"Oh, God, Sally. I'm cumming. I'm cummmmmming."

"Yes. Yessss, oh yess. OH GOD! Are you pissing in me?

What's going on? Oh. Oh. I'm cumming too, you bastard.

OOOooo."

I hadn't peed in a bed since I was three. Even at camp.

I didn't this time either. It was all cum. It had

sprayed into her for a good 10 to 15 seconds. Not like

a series of pulses. More like a fire hose. Second

mattress in a week we would have to replace. The

furniture guys were going to love me. Maybe I could get

a quantity discount.

Later, resting, we three snuggled. It was different,

but great, having two blonde heads on my chest. They

were both very still. Finally, Janey piped up,

"What the heck was that, a car wreck? Remind me not to

take marriage counseling from you two."

I looked over at Sally. "What does she mean, a car

wreck?"

Sally tilted her head up to look at me. "You are much

more of a man than I gave you credit for, Larry

Sampson," she started quietly. "You know I have always

prided myself on my strength, my will. But I am an

amateur compared to you." I must have looked confused.

"You remember the ice water you dumped on her last

week? And then you dumped it on yourself? Janey and I

were both about to lose it that first morning. There

was so much sexual tension in the air, and it was

acting like an amplifier. Or maybe it was because you

were there, too, adding your tension, your male tension

to the mix that made it worse. Anyway, we were this

close to jumping you. Seriously. Fuck the bet, fuck the

punishment, and fuck the agreement. After only one day,

we were going crazy. Then, when the water hit you, we

both felt something inside of us, too, and we knew

there was a link to you. One strong enough we could

hang onto, to make us stronger. To help us get through

this last week."

Janey piped up and continued, "Remember those nights

after the attack, when you sat with me? I knew you were

there. At first it felt strange, having someone else

other than mom on the link, but I didn't realize until

now that that's how I knew you were there. It wasn't

that strong at first, but I could feel the good in you.

You didn't try to come inside my head and get at me

like the doctors were doing. You just sat there, night

after night, showing me the way out, waiting for me

when I was ready. Then that last night, you kind of

fell asleep and the link got really strong. When I

reached out and touched your hand, I could, well, talk

to you, sort of. It's hard to explain. But even then,

in your imagination or your dreams you didn't think of

me in a scary way. All you could think of was how many

great and wonderful things I would do. And you really

liked that blue suit," she finished, teasing me gently.

Sally picked up the explanation. "But it's not just

that. Janey and I have found that our link is stronger

when you are around, like you're an amplifier, or

something. Not all the time, but when you are feeling a

simple emotion, like anger or love, or when you're

really focused, the effect you have can be really

strong.

"Like now, I was just beginning to orgasm - Janey, too

- when it was sucked out of me, I mean us. It just went

away. I don't know how I know, but you drained that

energy from us. I can't fight that kind of strength,

the kind you have in you. If you were any other man, I

would be afraid for my life. As it is, I'm not sure."

"I see, a car wreck." I thought a minute. "Sally, why

did you fight me on giving your word? We both know it

isn't good for us to do that. Why resist?"

"I've never not been in control. I've always had to be

the person in control sexually. Except when, well, you

know... Having to rely on you for the strength to do

something I have been capable of doing all my life

hurt. I got mad, angry at you, even though I was the

one who was weak. I just wanted, needed to have it on

my terms."

"Sally, you know I would never dream of hurting you. I

didn't even know what was going on, what I was doing. I

was just trying to be strong for you, to prove to you

that I was worthy of your love and trust. I didn't mean

to frighten you or ridicule you. Please, forgive me. If

I suck anything else out of you, please, tell me to

stop. Unless," and I broke into my Marx Brother's

voice, "of course, I'm busy between your legs...."

"Eeewww, gross" and "Oh, Larry, not in front of Janey"

comments were accompanied by twin elbow in my sides.

As we drifted off I reminded the girls that the next

day was going to be another family Day. I got mixed

reviews, but nothing that really indicated trouble. The

two petite blondes snuggled into me, two hands slipped

down and cradled my cock. Not to elicit a response,

although there was a predictable one, but more in a

cuddly way. I decided not to object, and closed my

eyes.

It was the first good night's sleep we had had in a

week.

Chapter 20

The next morning I rousted the two sleeping beauties

out of bed at 6:30; late for me, early for them. We had

a lot of work to do today, and that called for an early

start.

Janey was in good spirits, but Sally resented the time

away from my cock. She felt I owed it to her. I felt

differently. You don't make up for things lost due to

discipline. Else, why bother? If you're going to get it

later, why bother keeping it from you now. That was one

reason I didn't like to use sex as a tool of

discipline, at least the withholding of it as a

punishment. Actually, I think she just woke up in a

piss-poor mood. She had a bad case of the grumpies, but

tough shit.

After a light breakfast, granola and yogurt, juice and

coffee, I bundled the two dwarfs, Happy and Grumpy and

both Sleepy, into the Jeep and headed to the 'back 40'.

Sally's property extended a couple of miles back into

the rolling hills. There was one spot in particular I

had in mind, a miniature box canyon not too far back. I

loaded shovels and burlap sacks into the back of the

Jeep, along with a basket lunch I had prepared the

night before and some other supplies. Sally grumbled

when she saw the lunch basket, as that told her this

was not going to be a short drive in the country. In

other words, no fucking for at least five hours. She

was not a happy camper.

Janey had been so excited to go into her room to see

what attire I had picked out for them. Her disappointed

face was priceless as she and Sally emerged in sturdy

Levi jeans, suitably tight, of course, heavy work

shirts, leather gloves, boots, a baseball cap and worst

of all, underwear. Not the frilly kind, but sturdy

cotton panties and heavy duty sports bras. No flashing

today. I just smiled, and told Janey I thought she

looked nice in those clothes. I was telling her the

truth, and she knew it. It helped.

We bounced overland in the Jeep to the canyon I had in

mind. I unloaded the shovels and sacks and divided them

into three piles. I demonstrated how to fill the sacks

with sand from the nearby dry creek bed and tie them

off. It isn't difficult, but after the first two or

three, it becomes monotonous. Then it's just plain

backbreaking work. There were a couple of hundred bags

to fill.

Janey and I finished our sacks at about the same time.

I was more than a little surprised that she kept up

with me. I was carrying the filled sacks over to

another spot close by and was stacking them in a wall

about waist high or a bit higher. It got hotter as the

sun rose, and I took my shirt off, as did Janey. She

smiled at me as I slowly appreciated her sweat-soaked

sports bra that fit snuggly around her firm chest. She

was openly appreciating my bare chest, as well. I keep

in shape, but it was still nice to be admired by

someone that young and firm.

We were leaning on our shovels, resting, waiting for

Grumpy to get a move on, when the rebellion started. It

had been apparent that Sally wasn't keeping up and now

she wasn't working at all. Her gloves were off, and she

was staring at us defiantly. Staring at me, anyway.

"Are you going to finish those, Sally? We're about done

here."

"Are you going to make me? Why the fuck are we doing

this, anyway? If you're done, you can do these. I'm

tired. I want to go home."

"Sally, just because I'm in charge today doesn't mean

you can act like a little kid. That was last week. This

week we're doing something different, OK?"

"Screw you, Mister 'I'm-in-charge.' I wanted to stay in

bed and make love today, but, nooooo, you had to be in

charge. Well, I don't like it, and you can't make me.

I'm horny, I'm angry, I'm tired. Three strikes and I'm

out of here."

She stood there, daring me to do something. So I did.

I walked over to her smiling, and took her into my

arms, hugging her. She gave a little sob and grabbed me

around my waist. I turned her by the shoulder and

walked her a ways away from where we were standing over

to the stacks of filled sandbags. We stood there,

facing into the canyon, listening to the quiet. I

didn't know what to say. I was pissed, but I waited

until my anger was under control.

I tugged her around in front of me, so that we were

both facing the same way, her back nestled into my

front. Spooning, standing up. I slowly began a major

campaign on her breasts, building gradually, squeezing

and pinching, to good effect. When my hands undid her

Levi's there was no resistance left in her. She didn't

even look around for Janey.

As soon as her white cotton panties cleared her hips I

bent her forward over the sandbags. Her boots left the

ground by a couple of inches and I stripped the pants

down over the boots, but not off. That would take too

much time. After grabbing and simply ripping her

panties off, I moved her feet as far apart as I could

and then gave them purchase on the lower tier of bags.

I lowered my zipper and released my swollen cock from

confinement. I dipped it in the slit of her cunt,

teasing her. Seriously, I had no intention of going

that route after her insolent behavior. Her tight

little asshole was just looking at me, begging for some

attention. Besides, the little devices the Rosen's had

implanted around it should have been loaded with the

sexual enhancer by now.

Without warning, I aimed and pressed home the head of

my cock.

"NOOONOOOONOOOO. Larry, please, not there. OH GOD, It's

too big, I'm not ready. OHH Larry

OOOOOEEEEEIIIIiiSSHHIITT. What's happening to me?

OHHHHh yyyeesss!"

I figured the little suckers that had been implanted at

the clinic had just kicked in. Thank you, Drs. Rosen.

Sally clamped her anal sphincter down hard on my cock

and nearly snapped it off. It took lot of effort, on

both our parts, but I finally buried the full length of

my shaft in her rear canal. She screamed like a banshee

each time she felt my heart beat. She could feel the

pulse in her tightly stretched anal ring, and just that

small amount of added pressure pumped a little more of

the sexual enhancer into her system. She just kept

going higher and higher and higher. There was no limit

to the altitude on this rocket, and the first stage

still had a lot of fuel to burn.

It was one of the noisiest fucks we had ever had. Part

way through, Janey came up behind me and reached around

me to hold my chest, her chest against by bare back.

Every time her mother would climax, she would dig her

fingernails into my pectoral muscles. Since Sally came

nearly every time the pressure on the anal sphincter

changed, I was a mass of scratches by the time we were

finished. Janey's hand wandered down to where I joined

her mother. I don't know if she was aware I had taken

Sally anally or not, but as she felt the juncture and

realized the port of entry was farther south than she

was expecting, I heard her suck in her breath.

I slowly moved my body forward, driving myself back

into the dark recesses of that clasping hole. Janey's

hand was trapped between our sweating bodies. I stayed

buried until I felt her hand leave my body and venture

to Sally's. Her fingers moved lightly over the vacant

cunt and finally found her mother's center. Janey

caressed the excitable button to its fullest height and

then flicked it incessantly with her agile fingers

while I plowed the back forty. Together we gave Sally

the orgasmic experience of her life to that moment.

I felt a small hand cup my balls from behind and gently

massage them. A slight push, and a thumb penetrated my

own asshole. I had done this before and knew what was

coming. I started spewing my seed deep into Sally as

the thumb fucked my ass and pressed on my prostate.

When my cock lost its stiffness, I pulled out of Sally

with a slight sucking sound. I cleaned her up with her

torn panties, and handed them to Janey to wipe her

hand. Then I wiped myself off and zipped up. While we

waited for Sally to come back to us, Janey took a towel

and went to a nearby stream for some water.

When Sally did move, she pulled her pants up sans

panties, tucked her shirt in and turned around. She

kept her head bowed and kind of leaned into my

scratched chest. When she spoke, there was a tinge of

awe in her hurt voice.

"Was that you? Did you make me cum like that? What's

happening to me? It's never been like that before!"

I held her tight. As much as I wanted to take the

credit, I said, "I think you can thank the Rosen Clinic

for that."

"Janey too?"

"Uh-huh."

"God, when she discovers how good it is up the ass,

we'll never have grandchildren."

She then turned to go, but stopped. "Larry? About what

happened just now? The sex was great, and I deserved to

get it up the ass the way I was behaving and all, but,

well, it still hurt me in here." She pointed to her

chest. "I don't like to feel like that."

I knew what she meant. Something had come between us,

but I didn't know what it was, or what to do about it,

but it was there and it was serious. Keeping her head

bowed, she turned and went back to work on her sacks,

completing them in short order.

I stacked up the sacks to form a protective barrier for

anyone standing behind it. I got a large wooden box

from the Jeep and set it on top of the barrier. From

the box I took two smaller, polished wooden boxes and

placed one in front of each of them.

Curiosity finally got to them and they opened the

beautiful mahogany boxes to reveal compact, but lethal

9mm pistols. We went through a very thorough course on

gun handling, gun safety, loading, aiming, carrying,

and so on. There wasn't a live round to be found in any

of the supplies in front of them, however. I was taking

no chances.

They were good students. When I was convinced they were

ready, which was long after they thought they were, I

got another box from the Jeep and produced safety

goggles and ear protectors. Then we loaded the guns one

at a time with real bullets. One would shoot, the other

would watch. Then they would switch. There was only one

gun loaded at a time, and it was always pointed down

range.

A 9mm is normally a big gun for a woman, but I thought

they could handle it. Both had excellent hand and arm

strength. The particular model I selected is downsized

in the grip, and had been designed to be used as a

backup weapon for cops. It was light and sturdy. If

they ever needed to use it, the 8 rounds it carried

were going to be enough.

For the finale of the morning, I produced two man-

shaped targets and said the winner got their choice of

seats for the event of the afternoon. Janey turned out

to be the better marksman. At first, she objected to

shooting at silhouettes of human figures. Sally held up

her hand to stop her from shooting, walked down to the

target, and in big lipstick letters, wrote 'Steven'

across the figure.

I was shocked at what she had done. Janey just got

quiet, as she realized, suddenly, just how serious this

was. Her next 8 shots tore the crotch out of the

target. Everything after that landed in the chest. I

made a mental note not to get her angry with me. When

she was mad, she was cold-blooded and an excellent

shot. I wondered if I should have armed them at all.

On the next target, Sally was hitting very close to her

daughter's score, and with a couple of good shots on

the two remaining rounds, could win. Janey held up her

hand to stop the shooting, went down to the target and

scrawled 'Larry' on the silhouette and drew an

oversized phallus at the crotch. She proudly strutted

back, thinking she had shaken her mother and that she

would retain the highest score.

Sally stared at the target for the longest time, and

then slowly laid her gun on the sacks, conceding

defeat, an unfamiliar sad and hurt look in her eye.

It was an uneasy moment for all of us. Sometimes it

just doesn't pay to win.

Chapter 21

"AND THE WINNER IS... JANEY!" I announced, holding up

her arm in the air like a prizefighter. "And as your

prize, my dear, which seat would you like, front or

middle."

"Front!" she beamed.

I looked over at Sally, who was watching the victory

celebration with a sadly amused look. I caught her eye

as she glanced at me, and in the instant before she

lowered them back down, I thought I saw fear, or maybe

hurt, in them. It was the only time I saw her look up

in my presence for the remainder of the day. It

disturbed me, deeply.

I spread a blanket in the shade of a stately old oak

tree and an early lunch was served. Janey and I sat.

For some reason, Sally preferred to stand. I didn't

force the issue and it wasn't mentioned. We were all

ravenous after the work we had done that morning and

were still hungry when the sandwiches, chicken, chips

and fruit were gone. Reaching into the bottomless

basket, I pulled out three huge slabs of moist

chocolate cake and a thermos of ice cold milk. For

being health nuts, the calorie-laden cake disappeared

very quickly and without one complaint. It was

beginning to look like it might just be a good day,

after all. I hoped.

When we got back to the house, showers were in order.

Sally and I took one together, and, although playful,

she was still subdued. I did my best to lighten her

mood, and I was very concerned I might have injured her

when I had taken her so forcefully in the woods. She

insisted that she was not hurt, that she was tough

enough to take whatever I could hand out, even to the

point of offering to let me ass-fuck her again - her

words, unfortunately - right then and there in the

shower. I passed on the offer. I held her close to me

until we ran out of hot water. I don't think it

helped, but I didn't know what else to do.

The next phase of the day was initiated as I delivered

another package to each of the girls containing a skin-

tight Lycra bicycle body suit. Janey's was red,

Sally's green. I waited for them at the door, and

whistled very appreciably at their appearance. The

lush bodies of my girls were highlighted to perfection,

from the tight cheeks of their asses to the firm flesh

of their tits. Even the slits of their pussies could

be seen through the material.

To their visible disappointment, I handed each of them

another pile of clothing containing a pair of nylon

shorts and a baggy shirt. Their luscious bodies were

to be well covered on this day. Shoes, helmet and a

fanny pack completed the ensemble. Their freshly

cleaned and loaded pistols were in the fanny packs.

I drove about an hour to a town on the shore. It was a

quaint village that hadn't quite been hit by the hordes

of vacationers yet. We rented a bicycle built for

three at a local rental shop and I intended to spend a

leisurely couple of hours riding up and down the

boardwalk getting some fresh air and sunshine. It was

a beautiful day and the sand, sun and salt air off the

ocean combined in an invigorating way. I felt we could

ride forever.

Janey had control of the handlebars that controlled the

front wheel and so we went wherever she wanted. We

rode by several of the ubiquitous male `hunks' that

were walking, working out or sunning themselves on the

beach. We never stopped to meet any of them, but Janey

steered us by a couple of them several times so she

could get a real good look at them. Or, perhaps it was

vice versa. I noticed she didn't seem to have a

particular `taste' in body type, hair coloring or other

physical feature. Unless visibly bulging crotches in a

tight Speedo can be considered a `taste.' It wasn't

necessarily one of mine, anyway.

There was no rigid schedule to keep as there had been

last week, and the afternoon was simply a relaxing time

together. The view from my position in the back seat

was outstanding. For the beginning of the trip

traveling away from the parking lot and the car, the

ride was pretty mundane; circuitous, but mundane.

Then, on the way back to the rental shop, Janey

misjudged a pothole, and hit it pretty hard. The

jarring force of the front wheel hitting the rough edge

of the pavement jammed the seat of the bike up into her

crotch. It hit her with enough applied force on the

implanted vaginal and anal devices to release some of

the sexual enhancer into her system. Sally and I found

ourselves in the helpless situation where a girl in the

throes of a totally unexpected orgasm was suddenly

steering us along a winding pathway, or attempting to,

anyway. Janey had no hope of maintaining headway or

her balance and we tumbled in a tangle of arms, legs

and bicycle into the nearest dune.

Sally moved over to Janey, holding her tight until her

raging orgasm passed, and she lay still, breathing

deeply as if winded from a hard workout.

"Mom, what was that? Geeze, I mean, I know what it

was. But what the Hell just happened to me?"

"Oh, Sweetheart, I think you can thank your dear ol'

Dad for that. Just his way of saying `I love you,' I

guess. If you don't want it, I'll make him take it

back." I could tell she meant it.

"Oh, no! It was nice, ya' know, real nice. Just,

well, a surprise, that's all."

"Mine was a surprise to me, too, Honey. This morning.

A big surprise."

"Oh! So that's why...in your bottom..." Janey turned

her face to her mother's and lowered her voice to

almost a whisper. "Do you like it in, well, back

there, Mom?"

"That's kind of a personal question, don't you think?

Let's get on back to the car, OK?" I think that was

the first time ever that Sally had avoided answering

Janey when she asked a question about sex. It made me

wonder just how big an error I had made that morning

when she now wouldn't answer, or couldn't answer Janey

truthfully. I knew she liked it up the ass. Something

was seriously wrong.

It was a rough and bumpy ride back to the bike shop.

Janey seemed to manage to hit every bump and pothole in

the path, circling around to hit the good ones a couple

of times. The `hunks' with their bulging Speedo suits

were forgotten as she bounced her way to giggling

orgasm after orgasm riding a bike in broad daylight.

Both women were riding high on the sexual rushes they

were having, leaving me to do most to peddling, and, as

the route was quite circuitous, it took a lot more time

to get back than it normally would have. But we made

it.

Janey drove back to the house, again doing a good job.

She and I had been out several times during the week to

give her additional practice driving. She drove

through the heavy downtown traffic with assurance,

always leaving good safety margins between her and the

cars in front.

We arrived home just as a large van pulled away. The

driver gave me a cheerful wave as she drove by.

Apparently everything had gone according to plan and

the arrangements for the evening were in place. I

smiled innocently at Janey's questioning look and she

got an excited smile on her face, anticipating another

surprise for the evening. I turned to watch Sally

reading the logo on the side of the van and shake her

head knowingly. She'd recognized the driver and the

van. There was a little grin tugging at the corners of

her mouth, but the sadness in her eyes was still there.

At the door, I stepped between them and held my hands

lightly over their eyes. "Eyes closed please, ladies,

until I say to open them."

They dutifully closed them and made the obligatory

attempts to peek to see what was going on. I led them

sightless, or nearly so, to a room on the second floor

in the back of the house. It was a room that we seldom

used.

"OK, you can open your eyes." They looked around.

There were pillows scattered on the floor arranged

around a large Persian rug. The walls were covered

with draperies of sheer material in pastel colors and

the windows were covered with thick tapestries. It

really did look like something from Arabian Nights, and

I was smugly pleased with the results.

"I wondered what Cece was doing here," Sally said. "I

didn't remember her calling to say she was coming

over."

"You know Cecilia Washington?" I asked carefully. More

of Sally's undisclosed past was coming out, but this

was just too coincidental that she would know the new

wife of my best friend.

"Sure! She was my roommate in college for the year and

a half I was there. Why?"

Oh, Shit! "Oh, nothing. It's just that, well, Mac and

I are good friends, too. I just wondered how come it

never came up before."

Sally didn't answer, but had what I refer to as her

`Mona Lisa' smile on her face; totally unreadable, but

promising depths of intrigue and mystery that would

drown any man who ventured in unawares. I let it drop.

Mac's new wife, Cecilia, ran a catering service that

specialized in arranging quality theme parties and

dinners. I had never met her and, when I had

approached her through Mac about this project, she had

accepted the challenge immediately, even on short

notice for such a small group. Now I knew why. I

wondered just how much of a surprise this really was

for Sally. This Arabian Night style theme had been a

new one for Cece's business, but she had attacked it

with enthusiasm. I could tell Sally and Janey were

impressed, as was I.

In the corner of the room was a tent flap that covered

the door to an adjoining room. I urged them through.

"Your attire for the evening is in the other room. I

am not allowed to go in there, as that room is reserved

for women only. And eunuchs, one of which I will

refrain from becoming for the time being."

They laughed. Thank goodness.

"We are entertaining special guests this evening. You

may not leave that room until our guests arrive. I

expect you both to be on your best behavior, and to

follow the example of one of the guests who will be

here to help you and to explain your duties for this

evening."

They looked intrigued, but confused. I simply put my

hands together in front of me, bowed, and said, "Go

with God," in my best Yul Brenner impression.

I heard their squeals of excitement as they explored

the room next door and found their costumes for the

evening. Satisfied that they were happy, I went to

check on the food. I heard the shower in their room

start up. I had just enough time to clean up myself

before Amud and his wife arrived.

At seven o'clock sharp the doorbell rang. When I

opened it, I saw Amud in a very impressive - and

expensive - Western style business suit and a

diminutive figure standing quietly behind him covered

in cloth from head to toe. Without a word to them, I

bowed and swept my hand back to usher them into the

house. Still not speaking, I turned and led the way to

the room where Sally and Janey waited. I pointed,

showing Amud where to send his wife. He spoke briefly

with her and she entered the room.

I then led him to the back room with the rug and

pillows and spoke to him for the first time. "Amud, my

friend, welcome to my tent. Come in, rest and wash the

sand from your feet." I spoke to him in his own

tongue, giving him a traditional greeting. In my

research, I had learned I had two choices of greeting

guests to my home, depending on my familiarity with the

guest. One greeting used the word `sand,' the other

the word `camel shit.' Since this was his first visit,

I figured I should go easy on the familiarity.

Amud smiled broadly, and gave the traditional reply,

which, loosely translated means, `If there's water left

after my camels drink, I'll wash my feet.' He

respected the level of familiarity I had set and did

not add the ending, `Then my wives can drink what's

left.' He entered my `tent' and sat in the place of

honor.

"Would you like a drink, Amud?" thinking he would

prefer tea or coffee or water. Or a soft drink,

perhaps.

"Scotch, neat. Thank you."

I looked at him perplexed. All the preparations we had

discussed had stipulated that no alcohol and that

certain animals and animal by-products were not to be

used in the preparation of the meal. Now he asked for

Scotch? I couldn't figure it out, so I asked him if he

would mind explaining.

"Oh, yes. In our beliefs and in our practices, we must

be pure. But the religious leaders recognize that for

certain cultural and business situations with non-

believers, we must be allowed some latitude in these

restrictions. For those times when we knowingly

consume forbidden food or drink, we can pay a penance

and be purified. But if we consume them unknowingly,

we will die impure."

I didn't follow his logic, exactly, if one can call any

religion logical. It sounded like a religious

moneymaking scam if I ever heard one. But, a man must

follow his beliefs or else be a hypocrite. Better an

earnest fool than a hypocrite. I got him a Scotch, and

had one myself.

We discussed a broad range of topics, from his business

and mine to the novel - to him, anyway - customs of

Americans that he found somewhat perplexing. I learned

that he was university-educated at Oxford, but that his

love of hides and skins, as well as his talent for

working with them, had led him to open the tack shop.

His amusement at Americans' repressed fascination with

the relationship between leather and sex was surpassed

only by the amusement he found at the amount of money

they would pay for common everyday leather items; with

slight modifications, of course.

During the course of our conversation, we were served a

variety of foods, some traditional, some not. Three

lovely ladies brought out the food on silver trays.

All the ladies were veiled. The only skin visible was

around their eyes, hands and their bare feet, yet they

never seemed so seductive. The veils and gauze-like

material that clothed them hinted more than it showed.

Dark shadows on the bodices gave a promise of breasts
and nipples, but the loose fitting material resisted

all attempts to ascertain shapes and sizes. Even

though I was familiar with two of the three serving

wenches, the diaphanous covering clouded their familiar

lines, adding a sense of the unknown or unexpected to

the evening.

It was on Sally's second time as a server that Amud

began to watch her with intent interest. I noticed he

continued to watch her every time she served, but he

didn't speak to me about it, although he seemed on the

verge of saying something each time she left the room.

At the end of the serving time, music began to play.

Amud settled back on his pillow, a cup of thick sweet

coffee in his hands. With a `ting-ting,' the curtains

parted and a willowy figure entered our enclosure.

Amud's wife danced to the center of the room and did a

fascinating traditional dance that promised everything

and revealed nothing. It ended with her bowing before

Amud as if in supplication. He looked puzzled.

"My apologies, Mr. Sampson, my rude wife wishes to

interrupt our peace."

"Please, Amud. No apologies necessary. Please go

ahead."

There followed a quick conversation between them,

ending with Amud lifting her hand, turning it over and

kissing her palm. I thought I saw his wife blush at

this intimate gesture in a stranger's house. Amud

continued to look thoughtful as the dancer gracefully

rose and glided from the room.

He produced from an inner pocket a cigar case - another

forbidden item - and offered me a fine Cuban cigar.

"These Cubans are not only forbidden to me, they are

forbidden to you. Mine is religious, yours is foolish.

As they are illegal in this country, shall we burn the

evidence?"

"Yes, we probably should," I responded with mock

seriousness. "But slowly, no?"

As we were enjoying the rare treat, he seemed like he

wanted to say something, but didn't know how to begin.

"Amud, you look troubled. Is there something you wish

to say to me?"

"Mr. Sampson... Lawrence... My friend... It is hard

for me to speak to you in your house of these things,

but it is harder to see these things and not speak of

them to friends. Please do not take offense at what I

say. It is not my wish to bring criticism into your

tent."

I nodded, and indicated for him to continue. I hadn't

the foggiest idea what he was talking about.

"My beloved and I have sensed you have begun to

practice those things we spoke of last week; those

things between men and women and their places in the

tent; those things which concern the heart and soul of

the woman, and the pride of the man. But what I sense

is that the acts you committed have disturbed the peace

in your tent. You have acted rashly, as a stupid man,

one with no sense of his power or his place. A

powerful man is foolish to use his might on the weak.

No good can come of it. I do not know what you have

done, Lawrence. It does not matter. I also cannot

tell you how to fix it. But I can tell you that you

must repair the breach with your love, the mother of

the Fresh one, or peace will never return to this tent.

The Happy one, although calm on the outside, is no

longer filled with the joy you bring to her. In your

harshness, you have taken from her, and not given. She

now fears for the joy and peace in the tent. That is

not her position, not her task. That is the task of

the master.

"Lawrence, my friend, in some way I feel responsible.

I told you of a wonderful place but not the path to

follow to get there. If you had taken no steps along

that path, you would have nothing to undo. But having

taken a step, even a small one, along this path, you

must now continue. But to lead your beloved down that

path, one must be familiar with the path himself and

know the destination. You must experience the path

yourself, first, my friend. Otherwise you will become

a cruel master and your time in this tent will be short

and painful."

With that ominous prediction, he stood, clapped his

hands and left. His wife followed him obediently out

of the room, leaving me sitting alone in the large

room.

The silence was deafening.

Chapter 22

I heard the front door close behind them and their limo

pull away. I was still sitting there when Janey and

Sally came in to say `Good night.' I sat there all

through the night and into the next day.

Sally brought me breakfast, set the tray down, and left

in silence. She picked it up later, the food

untouched. She looked at me strangely, but didn't say

a word. Lunch was the same way. Janey brought me

dinner. She force-fed me a bite or two, but that was

all I could eat. I felt their concern for me, but it

was as if I was hovering above my body, watching a dull

soap opera.

I had really screwed up. Big time. I had kind of

figured out what it was, but I didn't have a clue why.

I knew the relationship between Sally and me was

evolving, changing and that there were going to be

strains and stresses as we re-defined our respective

roles within the new paradigm. Maybe it was going a

bit faster than we were both willing to accept. I knew

I had been unprepared for the responsibilities of my

role, which I still didn't have a label for. I think

that's what Amud had been talking about. I wasn't

prepared. I hadn't been down `the path', as he called

it.

I spent a long time agonizing over what to do. The

ball was definitely in my court. On the one hand,

Sally had made it clear that she could accept it if I

could not bring myself to put her in bondage, and not

to be her `Master.' But could I live with knowing that

the woman I loved was being refused the thing that

totally fulfilled her? I had seen, felt and

experienced the explosive climax she'd had when I had

tied her hands with the belt of her robe that one time.

I had seen the basement and the evidence of her need

for this.

The question was, how could I do something to her -

safely - that I had never experienced? I had

absolutely no desire to experience it! How would I

know the limits? In fact, there was a gripping terror

in me when I thought about experiencing bondage myself.

Even worse was the thought of experiencing pain. I

hate pain. So I brooded, trying to find a way out of

the mess I had gotten myself, and us, into.

By late Wednesday night I came to a decision. Right or

wrong, it was what I was going to do. At least it was

doing something. I never was one to let life make my

decisions for me. If something was going to go wrong,

I wanted to be the one to screw it up. Go out with a

bang, and the bigger the better.

I went into the bedroom I shared with Sally. She was

still up. She watched in silence as I packed an

overnight bag.

"I've missed you," was all she said.

I gently kissed her forehead, wiped the tears from her

cheeks.

"I know. Me, too."

I hesitated, almost changing my mind. She was so

beautiful and alluring. My body wanted to slip into

the bed beside her and make gentle love to her. But my

mind could not ignore the fact that there were some

issues that we, no, that I had to resolve. I forced

myself to keep packing.

"Look, I have to do something, but I'll be back

tomorrow afternoon. We'll talk then - if you want to.

I promise." I looked at her sitting there. "I love

you. I want you to know that."

"I know. I love you, too. We'll talk tomorrow. I'll

be waiting."

I left and drove to a motel near the Rosen Clinic.

Thursday I underwent Dr. Wang's procedure on my wang

and drove home. It really was painless, although I

felt as if something was different.

During the hour-long surgical procedure tiny emitters

were implanted in and around my penis and groin. A

couple more were slipped just under my scalp at pre-

determined locations over the parts of the brain that

were pleasure centers. The end result was that by

merely thinking about something erotic, I could bring

my prick to an erection. It was all done with such

small amounts of electricity that the devices were able

to use from the bio-electrical discharges inside my

body. It was a neat, self-sustaining system.

One of the more surprising features of the procedure

was that I could control when sperm were included in my

ejaculate; a kind of variable vasectomy. That was one

less worry where Janey was concerned. I was still

undecided about actually fucking her, but if I did, I

sure as hell didn't want a teenage pregnancy to

completely ruin her life.

It took about three hours for them to go through all

the features and for me to practice them. When I was

satisfied that I could control myself, I left them with

my sincere thanks and the news that Dr. Wang's

paperwork was already being processed. He could expect

an answer within seven working days. I had sent his

and his daughter's papers to Judge Hawthorne's office

last week for processing. Dr. Wang looked at me in

disbelief, then to Dr. Rosen. She simply beamed at him

and nodded in confirmation. He was hugging his

daughter and they were weeping for joy when I left.

Sally was waiting for me when I got home. She met me

at the door, but instead of greeting me with a kiss,

she knelt before me as a servant. My heart hurt at her

subservience. Not that she gave it, but that I wasn't

worthy of receiving it from her.

That point was at the center of the issue was between

us. She loved me, I loved her. That was not in

question. She had submitted to me. She needed to be

totally committed. She needed me to be totally

committed, as well. We both knew I wasn't, and thus

there was still an element of fear in her submission.

She was not afraid that I would intentionally harm her.

She knew that if I ever did harm her physically, I

would curl up and die of shame and guilt. What she

feared was that I would hurt her unintentionally, and

not just physically. That was because in terms of what

we were entering into, I was just plain stupid and

ignorant. I had no idea of her limits. I didn't know

the path, as Amud called it, or where it went or why.

I was determined to change that. I had to take away

her fear - and my own terror, as well. To do that, I

had to `experience the path' myself, as Amud had said.

It had taken me a long time to figure out what he

meant. I may be slow, but I get there eventually. It

took even longer to admit to myself that I could do

what he meant. But I think I had always known what I

would have to do and that, eventually, I would do it.

My own fears held me back, almost to the point of

losing Sally. But it was what I had to do, terror or

no.

I knelt down beside Sally right there in the hallway by

the front door. I took her hand and turned it palm up.

I kissed it lovingly, knowing it would soon be causing

me much pain. Then I placed the key to the dungeon in

her hand. She closed her fist around it slowly. I

think she thought I was rejecting that side of her,

that I was closing that door.

Without a word to her, I put my wrists together in

front me and presented them to her as if for binding.

I bowed all the way down in front of her, my head to

the ground. I stayed that way for a long time. I

intended to stay that way until she released me.

I heard her gasp as she realized what I was doing. To

her credit, she did not question if I was crazy. I

would have had to say that I probably was at that exact

moment. I heard her get up and leave, going down to

the dungeon. After a time, she returned.

"I have to ask. Are you sure you want this?"

"Yes." I could barely talk for fear.

"Do you want a safeword?"

She had told me all about safewords, those escape

clauses for submissives who weren't really sure of

their Master or Mistress. Sally had never asked for

one before she subjected herself to me, even with her

fears. She'd had one with Gary, but he never honored

it.

"No. You'll know."

"You realize this may take some time." She bent and

slipped a hood over my head. The only openings were

for my nostrils and a zipper over my mouth. I was

blind and deaf when wearing the hood. She laced it

tightly behind my head, pulling the thick leather

smooth and tight around my head. I heard a bit of

static, then a "click" and her voice, tinny from the

small speakers, was in my ears.

"Stand and strip."

I struggled to my feet, slightly disoriented by the

hood. Pins and needles shot though my legs as the

blood flow was re-established. I had been on my knees

a long time. I had not groveled that much lately and

wasn't used to the position. I took off my clothes and

dropped them on the floor. I stood before her naked

when I finished. I didn't know what to do with my

hands and they kind of flopped around, very much like

the limpness I was experiencing in another part of my

body.

"What am I supposed to do, pick up after you? Fold

them neatly!" I felt a sudden horrendous pain in my

left buttock emphasized this last command. It was my

first taste of what was to come and it was biting and

bitter. I almost shit, but I was afraid I would have

had to clean that up, too.

I jumped and hopped around trying to avoid any more

blows. The zippered hood muffled the yelp I let out,

but it was still loud in my ears. When the pain

subsided, I bent to pick up my clothes. This was no

easy task, as I had moved when I jumped around. My

clothes were no longer in my immediate vicinity. I had

to get down on my hands and knees and do a grid search

of the hallway before I found the last sock. I suspect

she was moving some of the clothes around, keeping them

from me, as I would swear I had twice searched the area

where I finally found the last piece hiding.

Regardless, I retrieved them all and was able to place

a neatly folded bundle before her feet. Or where I

imagined her feet were.

"Stand."

I stood.

I felt a strap being placed around my penis, down by

the base. It looped once between my penis and scrotum,

then again behind my sac. A last strap bisected my sac

in two, one nut on each side. Then the whole thing was

tightened until I thought my balls would burst. I felt

a click of metal on metal and then a firm tug on my

balls, urging me forward. I nearly fell over.

"If you want to keep them attached, you had better

learn to follow when I tug on your leash." A harder

tug followed, and so did I, quickly, if a bit

awkwardly.

We descended into the basement. I assumed we were

headed for the dungeon. I was correct.

I felt my wrists wrapped tightly with what felt like

stiff leather cuffs. Then they were lifted over my

head. I strained, standing on my toes to keep in touch

with the ground for as long as possible before I lost

even that touch. I felt her push against one side of

me and my equilibrium went haywire. I was spinning

with no points of reference. Vertigo set in quickly

and I was totally disoriented. I vomited in the helmet

and the fluid ran down between the mask and my face,

dripping down my chest. The smell was awful.

An icy cold torrent of water beat against my body. She

must have had a fire hose installed down there, there

was so much water. She focused on my head and chest,

rinsing away the vomit. I was torn between being

thankful for the smell being gone and the terror of

drowning in the hood. I learned how to drink through

my nose, something I would not suggest to anyone.

Then nothing happened. I mean it. She must have left

the room. I just hung there by my wrists. I didn't

know if I was still spinning or not. I also had no

recollection of time, other than my heartbeat. Under

normal circumstances, I could estimate time by my

regular resting pulse. I had always maintained a

resting pulse of about 60. But these were not normal

circumstances and my heart rate seemed faster than

normal. I had no way of telling how long I hung there.

More time must have passed than I thought. The water I

had ingested had worked its way through my system and

was now ready to exit. I had to piss, but I couldn't.

Call it pride, stubbornness or whatever I didn't want

to urinate when I couldn't see where it was going. I

don't think psychologists have ever figured out that

peculiar fascination a man has with watching himself

pee. It stays with a man from the time he is a little

boy. Maybe it has to do with being able to write his

name in the snow. I don't know. I just know I didn't

want to let go while I was blinded. I focused on

blocking out the urgent messages I was receiving from

my bladder.

The first savage pain hit just below the back of my

neck. It was a thin fiery strip of heat that stretched

from one shoulder to the other. One end of the painful

strip of fire curled into my armpit, as my arms were

held over my head. The following blows descended

slowly down my back, each one slightly lower than the

previous one. I fought the pain, resisted giving in to

it. I hated the pain, the whip. I began screaming

when the first blows landed on the backs of my thighs.

The pains continued. Not even the soles of my feet

were spared that painful lash.

I had been hanging for so long that I didn't even try

to move my feet or kick to avoid the lash. Moving

caused more pain in my shoulders, arms and wrists than

the whipping did so I just hung there, screaming.

The pain on the front parts of my feet, across the tops

of my toes alerted me to the beginning of the next

round. My screams raised several decibels in volume

and, as the lash curled around my tender testicles,

rose several octaves in sheer panic. No part of me was

spared the lash. I was sobbing uncontrollably when it

stopped, the pain in my groin agonizing, excruciating.

At some point I had voided, soiling myself, the yellow

fluid and stinky solids streaming down my legs and

pooling below me. I could smell the acrid human smell

of urine and shit even through the hood. It smelled

like fear.

I was not broken or submissive. I was mad. My anger

was palpable. I roared into the hood; into the

stillness of the dungeon; to myself. Sally had left me

alone again, hanging over my own pile of shit.

I don't know when I awoke. I didn't remember falling

asleep. I couldn't get my bearings at first, didn't

remember where I was. The sudden burst of fresh pain

broke through the haze of sleep shrouding my brain.

Pain came in multiple points, many stripes at once. I

could feel the thuds of the knots on the ends of the

straps solidly landing on my back and sides, sometimes

wrapping clear around and impacting my chest. I

screamed. And I voided myself again. I fought the

pain and humiliation. The agony grew in my back and in

my spirit as the blows continued relentlessly.

I must have passed out when the lashes curled around my

hip and the hard knots at the ends of the braided

strands hit my unprotected, harnessed cock. I remember

having a clear premonition of disaster as I felt the

pain in one ass cheek but not the other and then I

remember a split second when I thought that I would

die, hanging there in a basement. Then - then...there

was nothing.

When I came to, I was lying on my back on a hard

surface. My hands were stretched out straight over my

head, which was still hooded. My ankles were now

cuffed and my legs were pulled straight out and held

slightly apart. Something narrow and hard that felt

like a two-by-four on edge was jammed under my butt,

raising my pelvis above the plane of my body. That

made my groin, and my bound cock and balls, the high

point.

What was confusing was that what I was feeling at that

moment were the soothing hands of my lover moving over

my aching body, tracing the angry red lines that I

could only imagine were criss-crossing my skin. I felt

moisture then coolness as the water evaporated. I

responded to the soft caresses and my erection became

the prominent point, lofting high and proud. What a

foolish, vain and predictable organ. The constraining

straps around the base of my cock tightened due to the

expanding size as a result of the influx of blood into

that area. The constriction increased to the point

where the outflow was constrained more than the inflow.

I would now have a permanent hard-on until the straps

were loosened.

"Cum for me. Now!" My lover's voice was with me in my

darkness, a tinny voice in my ears.

I tried. Even with Dr. Wang's improvements, I couldn't

do it. I was still fighting the bondage. I couldn't

find the path.

I felt the surface I was lying on begin vibrate. The

tension in my arms and legs increased. I was slowly

being stretched out. She had me on a rack. Never

again would I underestimate the effectiveness of

medieval torture techniques. An added twist of a lever

or wheel elevated my pelvis area more, bowing me

completely off the table with only a single contact

point under my hips. I felt as if I would break if I

were forced to bend backwards any more.

I was whipped on the frontal parts of by body from the

tips of my toes to the tips of my fingers. Special

attention was paid to my hands and arms, as they had

been too high for Sally to reach when I was hanging by

my wrists. Even my shielded face received several

terrifying blows. Then I was left alone again.

I was beginning to hate being alone. Even to the point

of looking forward to the pain, strange as that sounds.

At least then I wasn't alone. I began reaching out to

my tormenter in my mind. I knew, from my time with the

State Department, that this was a classic response of

kidnap and torture victims. What they hadn't told us

was how helpless the victims were to resist that

response. I had no choice but to try to curry the

favor of my tormentor. The depth of my visceral

response frightened me. I had to do it.

The tender touching was repeated, but this time I was

given water to drink through a straw before it started.

It was the first fluids I had had since I had been

hosed off. The zipper over my mouth was opened, and a

drop of water placed on my parched lips. I felt the

straw and I sucked in as much as I could, as fast as I

could. The first rush of cool water hit my stomach and

I vomited. The acid taste of bile stayed with me, even

after I was able to take in more water.

She hosed me off again, and then commanded me to cum
again. When I couldn't, Sally moved away from me. The

pain when she whipped me on my wet skin was even worse

than before. I was unconscious when she stopped, but I

had lasted a long time before I lost my senses. Longer

than either of us expected me to, I would guess. I

could feel her frustrations at my resistance to the

pain, but I didn't know what to do to, how to help her.

It went like this without an apparent end. I was hung,

tied, bent, whipped, stretched and then left alone.

Then again. And then again. The pain and the

loneliness eventually became secondary to the terror

and the frustration I experienced when, at the

initiation of each session, I heard that same whispered

"Cum for me!" When I failed to please my Mistress, I

was beaten senseless. The command was given again at

the completion of each session, if I was still

conscious.

When I was left alone, I continued the futile fight

against the pain and the bondage. I could not, would

not give into it. It was blackness and void. Terror.

Unknown. I sensed in it a danger of deathly

proportions. My very being, my spirit, the essence of

who I was in my head, would not give itself up to that

perceived evil that I sensed lurking in that darkness.

I would not break. I could not. I was more afraid of

that unknown than the pain.

I was delirious, too. I knew it. I was getting

desperate, as well. In the back of my mind, I knew

that if this did not work, I could and probably would

lose the most precious thing I had ever known. I would

lose the respect of Sally, if not Sally herself. In

desperation, I did the only thing I could think of.

I surrendered not to the darkness, but to the Will of

my Mistress. It was that simple. Why I hadn't thought

of it before is an indication of my ignorance, I guess.

Or how paralyzed I was by terror. Or how much of a

stubborn, prideful son-of-a-bitch I am. I couldn't

give in to the darkness, but my Mistress was light.

She was a guide into the unknown terror. With the last

desperate thoughts of my sane mind, I surrendered

myself to my Mistress.

I don't remember what happened after that, but Sally

said she knew something was different as soon as she

woke up from her catnap. I was resting peacefully in

one of the more uncomfortable positions she had bound

me into. I had stopped screaming, stopped fighting.

When she gave me the command to ejaculate, I did. I

don't remember. I was literally out of my mind.

I later learned that Sally had never me alone in the

dungeon. She or Janey were always there. I had

thought I had felt a different set of hands soothing

me, but I wasn't sure. Only one set used the whips and

caused me pain. But there had been two sets of hands

that soothed me.

I remember little after my surrender. I was just

there, floating. I know there was more bondage, more

pain. But it was what my lover, my Mistress wanted,

and I only hoped it gave her joy. That she wanted it

was the only reason I needed to accept that she was

giving it to me. I was hers totally. That time of

total abdication of my will to Hers was the most

peaceful time of my life that I can ever remember.

The last thing that happened, my final test, I guess, I

do remember. Very well. My hands were bound tightly

behind my back, my ankles and calves tied to my thighs

with my knees forced wide apart. I was forced to kneel

on the cold cement of the dungeon floor, which was

still damp from my last `bath'. I was tightly hooded,

as I had been throughout the ordeal. I could not see

or hear, but I could feel the footstep vibrations of

other people walking around me. I cringed inside,

beginning to fight the fear. But then I reached out

and found that Mistress was there. I don't know how,

but I could feel her, and I relaxed. What she wanted,

I wanted.

The zipper over my mouth was opened and I was offered a

drink. Then I felt something I had hoped to live my

entire life without feeling. The warm solid flesh of a

real cock was introduced to my mouth. It was a large

one with a broad circumcised head. I froze.

A soft gentle voice came to my ears, my Mistress. "Cum

for me, my love. Cum."

I blew my wad across the room and sucked the cock into

my mouth. All for my Mistress, because She willed it.

I was bobbing and sucking as best I could, trying to do

all the things that I thought would feel good to me.

For some reason, it was important to me that I do a

good job at this vile task, the very best I could. It

was as if the prestige of my Mistress was at stake. My

performance would be her grade. I did my best, but I

failed. The cock did not spew it's cum into my mouth.

As it slipped out of my mouth, I cried out to let me

try again, I would do better, I pleaded. Please....

A soft fingertip on my lips stilled my anguish and the

zipper was closed. I bent forward in shame, awaiting

my punishment for failing Her. My head rested on the

ground. I thought I knew what was coming, but I was

wrong. It wasn't the whip I felt on my ass. It was

the head of that stiff cock wet with my own saliva

being placed against the opening of my virgin ass. My

head jerked up off the ground, my back arching in

silent protest against this invasion. Gentle, soothing

hands spread my ass cheeks and a cool substance was

forced past the tightly clenched puckered ring.

I knew better than to resist, but to a completely

straight male, this was almost more than I could take.

I fought against this intrusion of my body by another

male's member with every fiber of my being. In my

current position, the only things I could move were my

fingers. I clenched and unclenched them in utter

frustration as the plumb-sized head of that solid

phallus slipped past the straining muscular ring.

Tears of frustration and humiliation filled the hood

covering my head.

Mistress lightly took hold of my clenching hands with

hers. I vented all my pain and frustration into that

touch. I cried out my terror and revulsion to this

homosexual act to her with my mind. She drew it all

out of me. But the penetration didn't stop. I

understood it was what She wanted. She knew that as

much as the pain and bondage had been hard for me to

accept from her, asking me to submit to this act was

the ultimate test for me. I almost couldn't do it. I

almost failed. I could still feel and taste the

strange slipperiness of the male pre-cum in my mouth.

It gagged me. And almost broke me.

I sensed the force of her gentle will surrounding me,

comforting me. I relaxed into it, releasing into her

the abject terror in my soul. I forced myself to

swallow the residual male fluids that were still in my

mouth. I forced myself to push back on that intrusive

shaft, opening myself up to this rape, this homosexual
coupling. I pushed back willingly, if not joyfully to

meet the hard, frenzied thrusts until I felt the hot

flooding of my colon. I had not failed my Mistress

this time. I wept at the immense pleasure I felt at

pleasing Her.

"Cum for me my love. Cum."

And I came. For Her.

Chapter 23

I woke up in bed. I smelled hot coffee and bacon. I

was famished.

I stumbled getting out of bed, my legs not wanting to

support me. I didn't know how long I had been in the

dungeon, but it was long enough that my legs were not

used to supporting my weight. My arms, Hell, my whole

body ached, including my eyelids. Even the light

coming through the curtains hurt. I felt like shit.

I held on to the dresser until I was stable, then

slipped on my robe. I looked briefly at my body in the

mirror as I passed by. There were remarkably few marks

or bruises, given what I had been through, and what I

felt like. The marks around my wrists would last the

longest, I guessed. I grinned, realizing I was almost

disappointed there wasn't more visible damage. I was

definitely looking for the sympathy factor. Or was it

I was looking for them as badges of courage?

I made my way to the kitchen, noting in passing that

Janey's room was empty, the bed made. A sure sign she

was not at home. I found myself standing at the

kitchen door, uncertain of what was to happen now.

D‚j… vu, all over again.

Two place settings, two coffee cups, one mine. Fresh

squeezed OJ, red robe, tied extra tight. I knew what

that meant. Suddenly, I didn't ache quite as much.

I took her on the kitchen table, breakfast forgotten

for the time being. Our coupling was gentle and

vicious at the same time. We were at once equals to

each other and submissive to each other. It was a

contest to see who could bring the most pleasure to the

other. We both won.

I had to eat something, other than Sally, and wolfed

down an egg, some toast, bacon and washed it down with

OJ while Sally was recovering from her latest climax.

The coffee was cool by then, and we both downed a quick

cup before heading to the bedroom.

"Janey?"

"Out."

"How long?"

"Until I tell her I'm ready for her to come home."

"That bad, huh?"

"Shut up and make love to me."

I noticed she didn't say `Fuck me.' So I didn't. I

made love to my Love.

We called Janey home two days later.

That marked a major turning point in our relationship.

Right or wrong, what I had gone through had stilled the

fear that was growing in Sally. I had experienced the

path Amud had talked about. I would not lead her down

the wrong one, or take a wrong turn to a disastrous

destination. She knew now she could trust me

completely as I had trusted her.

She literally glowed in her happiness. Amazingly, over

time we found we could sense each other. Not in a

conscious sense, but at a certain subconscious level.

I learned to trust this sense to guide me in our times

together, and she experienced climaxes of an intensity

that surprised even her. As I became more adept at

sensing her needs, I could meet them better. Sally

would stagger around the house for days in a state of

bliss, simply from the knowledge that we would be

together that night, or whenever she needed me. Which

was often.

But as the time passed, she grew more and more anxious

as the much-anticipated start of her bondage sessions

didn't happen. I could sense in her a restlessness, a

palpable spring of longing. It was winding her up

tighter and tighter. But I still needed time to

understand the things I was sensing, to get used to the

things I was feeling. And to figure out what it was I

wanted to do with us. She had let me know in no

uncertain terms that what happened next was up to me

alone. Her complete and simple trust in me scared me

more than what I had just gone through.

I had always been pretty self-confident. I had been

described as handsome, rugged, charming, etc. I know I

never had problems attracting girls, and later, women

into my bed, at least up to the time I had met and

completely fallen for Sally. But even that was in

character for me. I always went after what I wanted,

and generally got it. Not by luck, but by skill and

determination. OK, some luck, and a lot of family
connections, too.

But now? Even though I was scared shitless, now I

knew, or felt I knew what direction to take us. I

wasn't just confident. I was absolutely sure. And it

scared even more shit out of me. I remembered what had

happened when I had brutally taken Sally on the

shooting range. I had been sure then, too, and I had

hurt her spirit, if not her asshole.

So I took my time, feeling my way slowly through this

new experience. I practiced sensing her, then acting

on that information. I learned to trust myself, and

grew stronger as a result. I also found that that mind

control thing between us had grown. I discovered I was

stronger now, much stronger that Sally or Janey. Not

only that, but I found I could project it onto others

in a crude manner and affect their feelings. I was not

just a transmitter of my own feelings and a receiver of

other's emotions. I had control over what was sent

out. But it was like playing with Nitroglycerin while

riding a bucking bronco. Because my ability was so

powerful and unpredictable, I didn't play with it much.

I needed more help with that.

Other than that, things were getting down to normal.

Janey was settling into her summer routine. Time heals

all wounds, and as the time passed, she seemed to

forget. She seemed more at ease around the kids from

school, too, having them over on occasion for

cheerleading practice.

It was at one of these practices that I manage to

expose myself to the entire squad, and firmly re-

establish Janey as one of the most popular kids at

school, among the girls, anyway. Janey had been at

cheerleading practice at the high school gym, and, as

usual, Sally and I took advantage of the privacy to

make love. Not that Janey's presence ever held us

back. With their link, Janey was very much a part of

the sexual experience - when she was around. But it

was different, novel for Sally to do it alone, so we

took advantage of every opportunity.

Sally had drifted off into a light sleep after a

rigorous and satisfying bout. I got up to get a bottle

of wine for when she awoke, so we could continue the

session uninterrupted. I dashed into the family room

on my way to the kitchen. It wasn't until I was

completely into the center of the room that it

registered that there were several people, all young
girls, all around me.

Gasps, silence. Then, one girl, a brave one, no doubt,

whispered into the reverent silence, "Wow, Janey! Your

Dad's big! I didn't know they got that long! Or

thick!" I don't think she was referring to my feet or

my nose.

Beet red, but what the Hell, "Hi, girls! Uh, Sally

and I weren't exactly expecting you here today.

Obviously. I just wanted to get some wine from the

kitchen. I'll just grab a bottle and, uh, leave you

alone." I started walking at what I thought a normal

pace would be for a naked man in a room full of excited

young girls towards the kitchen door, my erection

pointing the way. The girls weren't the only ones

excited at that moment.

"That's OK, Dad. I'll get it for you. Would you like

to stay here and chat with the girls, or should I bring

it to you in your room?"

I grinned, looking around at the mixture of awed,

confused, embarrassed and outright lustful expressions

on the faces in the room. "You'd better bring it into

the room. Before I do anything really, really

embarrassing. Thanks, honey."

Groans.

"No prob. White or red?" She was enjoying my

predicament way too much.

"White. I'm red enough already!" I raised my hand to

tip an imaginary hat to the girls, gave a gallant bow

to them and walked proudly - and stiffly - out of the

room.

Giggles and shouts of "chicken" and "please stay"

chased me down the hall, but fortunately none of the

girls did. Sally was surprised at my sudden ardor as

she was still asleep when I entered her. Then she

sensed Janey at home and heard the other girls' raucous

and bawdy laughter.

"Just what did you do, lover boy? Is there anything I

should know?"

"Oh, nothing. I just introduced myself to the girls on

the cheerleading squad."

"Oh, OK. Hey, wait a minute! Is that `myself' that's

poking into me right now?"

"Uh-huh. Really, it was an accident. Honest!"

"I'll bet, knowing how you like the young stuff. Shit.

Nobody called the cops?"

"Not yet. But the day is still young and Janey only

brought us one bottle. I may have to go back out there

for another. Would you like something to eat? I'm

starved! I'll just hop out and get..." I was cut off

as she lowered herself over my face.

"Chew on this, dear. I have all I want right here."

She gripped my cock firmly, letting me know what she

was referring to. I mumbled my muffled reply, deeply

content with my current situation.

Not surprisingly, that one bottle was enough.

About a week later Sally and I were relaxing in the hot

tub. It was just off our bedroom but Janey could get

to it by an outside door. Besides, the doors were

never closed and she could get to it through our room.

Janey had been surprisingly respectful of our privacy

lately, as if she understood that we needed the time to

learn our new roles.

Sally and I never used suits when we were by ourselves,

as we were then.

"Hi, guys! Mind if I join you?" Janey's voice came

through the lattice. I was surprised she asked.

"Not at all, come on in," said Sally.

"Hope you don't mind Mom, but I borrowed one of your

suits. Fits pretty good, don't you think?"

I partly opened one eye and looked up at this blinding

vision of loveliness pirouetting on the deck. I was

instantly hard. She had on `the suit.' Sally only

wore it now on special, very special occasions. It

never failed to get me hard when Sally wore it. And it

seemed to be having the same effect on me when Janey

wore it.

"Oh, dear." Sally said softly. Her hand immediately

went to my chest and slipped down to grasp the

periscope I had raised in celebration of the vision on

the deck. She slipped up out of the water briefly and

straddled my body, facing away from me. As she sat

back down over me, I entered her tightness and slowly,

ever so slowly felt myself slip up into her heat.

"Does she know?" I whispered.

"Do I know what?" asked Janey, innocently.

"How special that suit is, for one," said Sally.

"What's so special about it?"

Sally turned to me. I shrugged. Janey already knew a

lot. A little more shouldn't hurt.

"I wore that suit the first time we, uh, the first

time, uh..."

"What, Mom? The first time you kissed? The

first...oooohhhh." I could see the twinkle in her

eyes. She sensed there was something more behind it

than just that, though, and she almost trembled in

anticipation of learning the juicy parts. I grinned,

thinking I could cut to the chase and bring the

conversation to a halt.

"Your mother and I went to the shore for the day. She

wore that suit. She looked so hot in it, still does,

too, I couldn't keep my hands off her."

"Really? He attacked you, Mom?"

Sally looked back around at me, smiling softly at the

fond memories. "He didn't stand a chance. It was a

calculated provocation, honey." She turned back to her

daughter. "It was very much like you're doing now."

"Oh." I almost thought I saw a look of guilt flash

across that impish face. "Am I that obvious?"

"To me. But I think you'll need it to get through to

him, though; or something just as obvious. He's pretty

dense about these things."

I was lost. What the hell were they talking about?

Were they saying what I think?

"Just be careful with that particular suit especially

the bottoms. He took me seven times that first time I

wore it. And we've put it to good use many times since

without fail."

"No! You're kidding, right? Seven? guys can't...

they aren't supposed to... seven times? All at once?

Bang, bang, bang?"

"Well, it took him the best part of that day. And

believe me, it was the best part, too!"

"So what happened?"

"I discovered he can't resist my ass when I wear the

bottoms."

"Your ass? You mean he put it in back there, like he

did in the woods?

"Uh-huh. And like it is now." I thought I had

recognized that particular tightness. It was such a

lovely feeling.

"You mean you're doing it, right now? Up your

butthole? Wow! Wait, you said the bottoms. Don't you

wear the top?"

"Uh-uh. Don't need `em." She turned again to me,

wiggling her bottom cheeks provocatively against my

crotch.

"Like this?"

We both watched the tiny piece of cloth drift to the

deck. This time, as she turned, she paused facing away

from us, and bent slightly at the waist. She looked

around at us over her shoulder. She winked at me. I

couldn't help it. I flooded Sally's passage and did

not soften.

Sally looked back at me and grinned. She enjoyed

teasing me with her luscious daughter, knowing I would

have her when Janey was ready. And that point was fast

approaching.

Janey, topless, got in the hot tub and slid over next

to me, her bare breasts bobbing in the bubbling water.

"Mom, are you going to get off him anytime soon? Do I

get a turn?" She looked from one of us to the other.

"Come on, guys. I've been pretty patient with you as

you acted like newlyweds, but a girl gets horny hearing

all that screaming. And those moans mom makes, too."

We laughed at her attempt at humor. I could feel

Sally's indecision. The time for me to deal with Janey

was approaching very fast, indeed. She knew it was

what we agreed needed to be done, but she still just

couldn't quite accept the actuality of sharing me,

especially with her daughter. I helped her make her

decision. I slipped my hand around her waist and

captured her clit between my finger and thumb. As I

rhythmically squeezed the sensitive nub, I slid another

finger into her cleft. I heard her sigh, as she knew

this was one of the things I did when we were just

getting started for the night.

"No, dear. Not tonight. Tonight he is all mine."

Spoken softly into the night, her voice quivered, as if

she was crying. Janey looked at her curiously, then

snuggled up against me, content that her mother was

extremely happy. I felt the sharp points of her bare

nipples against my arm as she brushed them back and

forth. She wasn't trying to turn me on, although I

didn't mind. She just needed to feel someone else, to

share with us. I put my free arm around her briefly

and gave her a hug. Her wan smile told me she knew she

was out of luck tonight, but also told me that soon.

Soon...

I turned my attention to my lover, moving the arm that

had just hugged Janey around her to pull her back

against me. I established a firm grip on her floating

breasts, switching from one luscious orb to the other,

teasing them, reveling in their resilience.

Sally was riding me slowly, tantalizing me, telling me

in her own special way that I belonged to her, now and

always. I knew that, but it was nice, anyway.

"I will always be yours, my love." I whispered in her

ear. I paused.

"Cum for me."

I felt her anal muscles tighten around my iron prick as

she cried out and spasmed, the energy from her orgasm

flowing into all three of us. Janey basked in those

feelings she shared with her mom and soaked in the hot

water for a while. She was still just a little jealous

of her mother's orgasms that she could only share

through their special link, but she was even happier

for her Mother's happiness to let it create a wall

between them.

We never noticed when Janey left.

Chapter 24

The start of the opera and symphony concert season in

the Fall was a big social event in our community. The

first concert to be performed at this year's gala was

scheduled to be a collection of pieces by one of

Sally's favorite composers. I thought his work was

pretty good, but personally I liked a more bombastic

style, like Wagner. But for romance and setting the

mood, the season opener held a lot of promise.

Two weeks prior to the concert, I announced that the

opening night would be a special event for both Sally

and Janey. Both immediately started bugging the shit

out of me, but, as I expected them to try their

damnedest to get a hint out of me, I was able to simply

smile at them. It drove them nuts. They didn't have a

clue what to expect.

The ornately wrapped packages from The Guild began

arriving shortly after my announcement. Everything

that organization did, they did with style, and their

delivery service was no exception. All packages not

taken by the customer immediately were delivered by

shining golden vans with ornate filigree detailing. It

was much in the style of the royal coaches in the 18th

century. There was no mistaking one of them as it

drove through the countryside. You could almost feel

the envy of the neighbors when one of those vans

arrived in your driveway. Some particularly nosy

gossips had been known to follow a van for miles out of

their way just to see who the lucky person was who was

on the receiving end of the delivery.

The vans were driven by special bonded couriers dressed

in distinctive red uniforms and pompous-looking tall

hats with plumes. The couriers were male or female,

fit, polite, well-trained and well-armed. It was a

good thing, too, given the value of some of the

deliveries they had to make.

The delivery area for the vans included a five-state

area. Beyond that, the bonded couriers hand-delivered

each package, using whatever mode of transportation was

best suited to meet the delivery schedule. And always

with that dash of style and panache, of course. More

and more of the distinctive red uniforms were being

spotted on over-seas flights as the craftsmen of The

Guild became known throughout the world for the quality

of their work. It was unparalleled. The red uniforms

soon provided automatic and easy entry into countries

with normally very tight customs officials. It didn't

usually take more than one reprimand from a king or

high official to grease the skids.

I had specified that the packages were to be delivered

sealed, and they were. Sally and Janey had some very

unkind words for me when they realized the boxes were

sealed with a wax Guild seal, and their efforts at

snooping were thwarted. Again, I merely smiled,

enjoying the mounting frustrations and tensions in

them. Anticipation and the unknown make a wonderful

combination in a woman. I only hoped what I had

planned for the evening lived up to their expectations.

The morning of the event I placed new silk robes on

their beds and awoke each with a kiss and a light

breakfast. They were instructed to bathe - not shower

- using the special bath beads I had placed in their

bathrooms for at least 90 minutes, and not to leave

their rooms. They were to be in my office down the

hall ready for their first appointment of the day at

11:00 that morning.

Both appeared in my office about 5 minutes early, their

reddened skin glowing pink through the light white silk

of the short robes. The robes had no belts, much to

Sally's disappointment, I think, and opened with the

slightest motion. I smiled at them, motioned for them

to sit in the chairs in my office, and proceeded to

ignore them for the next 5 minutes. With extreme
difficulty on my part, I might add. The robes were

opened quite often and intentionally. I didn't get any

actual work done, but I made my point, I hope. I was

surprised they were only 5 minutes early.

At exactly 11:00 I stood up, kissed the back of Janey's

hand and led her out to the family room. There was a

table set up inside a cloth booth. I held out my hand

for her robe, which she gave me. I looked at her nude

form for several moments, touching her lightly. As I

anticipated, even those light caresses caused shivers

of delight to chase each other up and down her spine.

She was panting by the time I helped her up onto the

table and instructed her to lie face down.

I placed a folded towel across her glorious posterior.

This brought a moan of disappointment from her. I

think she thought I was going to screw her on the table

right then. As tempting as that was, I had other

plans.

I held back one of the flaps of the booth and motioned

for the person standing silently outside to enter. The

slightly built woman of asian descent moved gracefully

into the booth. She bowed low to me, then shrugged off

her over-blouse. This left her in just a short band of

cloth covering her genital area, tied at one side

sarong style. As she turned to Janey, I caught sight of

a pair of firm apple-sized tits topped with chocolate

nipples.

The masseuse kneeled up on the table next to the girl,

lightly tracing the lines and patterns of the muscles

on her back. As I left the cubicle, I heard the first

of many moans as Janey relaxed into her first massage.

Sally was pouting prettily when I returned for her, but

brightened as I took many more liberties with her than

just kissing her hand. I brought her quickly to the

edge of a climax, then eased off and just let her

simmer on the edge. When I was done teasing her, I

pulled her robe back around her to cover her arousal

and led her into the family room. A table in the

second booth waited for her.

She gave me a quizzical look when she heard the low,

long moans coming from the adjacent booth. I held out

my hand and helped her off with her robe in answer. I

beheld her naked beauty once again, appreciating it as

if for the first time. My open - and very obvious -

admiration of her charms brought a pleasing blush to

her skin, spreading from her face, down her neck and on

to the tops of her creamy breasts.

I helped her onto the table. With nudges and lingering

touches I maneuvered her so she was face down and then

let her masseuse into the booth. The two asian women

could have been twins, the only difference being that

Sally's had longer hair. She, too, climbed on the

table and straddled Sally's waist, one knee on each

side of the prone woman. One rubbery ass cushioned the

other. I waited until the low purring Sally makes when

she is contented started to come from her booth as

well, and left them alone.

I grinned maliciously as I went back to the office, not

to work, but to rest. I was going to need it. The two

masseurs had instructions to keep the two women relaxed

but aroused for the next hour. Under no circumstances

were Sally or Janey to be allowed to orgasm. I wanted

them so on edge their teeth hurt. Tonight would be

special indeed.

Sally and Janey kind of oozed into my office an hour

later, their eyes glazed and knees wobbly from the

stimulating massages they had just undergone. But the

blush on their cheeks was unmistakable. Janey's

expression mirrored her mother's, and I was very

familiar with Sally's `if I don't get fucked in two

seconds, I'll chop it off and stuff it in myself' look.

It was time for the first box.

I reached into my desk and pulled out two small

packages. I handed one to Janey and one to Sally.

"You may open these now," I said.

The bows were ripped off with the ferocity of lions at

the first kill in a month. Their twin gasps of

pleasure were almost synchronized to the nanosecond.

"Oh, Dad! It's beautiful! Mom, look!" Janey held up

a white-gold necklace with a ruby encrusted key on the

chain. The length of the chain let the key snuggle

into the top of her cleavage. I moved around behind

her and put it on her. It was her first piece of

expensive jewelry, and she was as pleased as I had ever

seen her.

"That is the key to my heart, Honey. I wanted you to

know how I felt about you and that you will always have

a special place there," I whispered in her ear as I

hooked the clasp securely.

She turned and hugged me, tears in her eyes. "I love

you, Dad. Thank you so much! It's beautiful."

Sally was still staring at her present. It, too, was

jewelry.

"Here, my love, let me help you with that." I moved

behind her and waited until she finally lifted the ends

of the jewelry into my hands. Her head bowed as I

fastened it behind her neck with a solid click.

I leaned down and whispered so that only she could

hear. "Do you understand what it means when you wear

this?"

She nodded. Her hand slipped up to lightly touch the

jeweled slave's collar I had locked around her neck.

The collar was wide, about two and a half inches. It

was an intricate weave of platinum wire and rods that

let it flex around her neck, but not warp or roll in

any other axis. The wire and rods were covered with

reflective stones, mostly diamonds with some emeralds

mixed in. The effect was to create a band of light

around her neck with mysterious flashes of emerald. It

was more beautiful than I had hoped when I described it

to the jeweler. It was devastating.

As I stood behind her, watching her reaction, drinking

in her beauty, I noticed the trembling of her body, and

I wasn't sure if it was fear or excitement. I hoped

the latter. I brushed her cheek lightly with my lips

before continuing.

"I want this night to be special for you. I know how

much you have longed for this to begin, and it will,

tonight. But it will still be a little while, yet.

You may wear this collar now, or not, your choice. I

will not require anything of you until all your

preparations for this evening are complete. Until

then, you will behave as Sally. Understood?" I lifted

her chin and looked her in the eye.

"Yes, Master," she whispered softly. Then she threw

her arms around me, squealing with delight. The two

women ooohhed and aaahhhed over each other's adornments

until I ushered them out to the next appointment.

I led them back into the family room. The booths and

the massage tables were gone and in their places stood

two barber-style chairs. An exclusive beauty salon

from a near-by town had sent two highly skilled

technicians and two assistants to pamper my two

princesses. When they had been comfortably seated in

the chairs, the technicians flew into a choreographed

dance of activity around my two blondes. I had ordered

the works for them. They were manicured, pedicured,

trimmed, oiled, scrubbed, rubbed, tubbed, sanded, face-

packed, mud-packed and every other tortuous process

women go through for the sake of beauty.

As much as I loved doing it myself, I had Sally shaved.

Janey's pubic region was trimmed way back from her

bikini wax to just a thin strip of short soft hairs

pointing to paradise. The technicians and assistants

had the same instructions as the masseuses. They were

to keep the treatments as sensual as possible without

letting them go over the edge. From the cries of

frustration I heard coming through the open door of my

office, they were very good at their jobs.

When the treatments were done, two of the technicians

led the pampered women to their respective bathrooms

where the assistants had drawn another steaming bath

for each them. There the girls were stroked, soaked,

soaped and rinsed, stroked some more, hair washed and

conditioned, and then stroked and soaked again in

steaming hot water with bath oils added.

When they were done, they were led back into the family
room where their hair was done. At my instructions,

Janey's blonde tresses were done up in an elegant style

leaving her shoulders and neck bare. Sally's hair was

braided in an elegant French braid, the broad

intertwining stands hanging down in a single plait that

reached halfway down her back.

Makeup was applied skillfully after their hair was

done. Although only 15, Janey looked much older when

she was finished. Sally was made up just as

skillfully, looking regal but more like her sister than

Janey's mother. Of course, all the powders and paints

could only accent the beauty of the canvases they were

applied to. The flashes of excitement in the eyes of

the two painted ladies were repeated many times over in

the tiny sparkles embedded in the blush applied to

their faces. I smiled in satisfaction. They were like

two little kids, full of excitement on Christmas

morning.

The day was creeping by, closing in on the opening of

the opera. I saw the technicians out to their van.

They would return after we left to pack their

equipment. Their service had been excellent. They

would be retained again, and often.

Alone with Sally and Janey, I began the difficult final

phase of the preparation. I would now have to reveal

more of my plans for the evening to them, taking away

some of the mystery. I took Janey by the hand and led

her to her room. There I presented her with a stack of

boxes, all with The Guild's seal.

"Your attire for this evening is in those boxes. I

hope you like it." I paused, feeling almost like a

teenager again. "Uh, Janey, I would like this evening

to be kind of like our first date; a special time just

between you and me. Will you go with me as my `date'

this evening?" I offered formally.

Her eyes got big, then clouded as she remembered Sally.

"What about Mom?"

I looked directly at her, holding her hands in mine.

"Janey, your mother will be there, too. She will be

with us, but she won't be, kind of." She looked

quizzical. "Look, I hope I'm doing the right thing

with her tonight. But it's kind of hard to explain.

When you have dressed, come into our room. Perhaps you

will understand after you see her. She will be happy

tonight, Honey. At least, I hope so."

I could feel her questioning eyes burning holes in my

back as I left the bewildered teenager standing there.

At the door, I turned.

"Is it a date?"

"Oh, yes! I'm sorry. Yes!" She shook off the rest of

her questions and tore into the many boxes. I wished I

could stay and watch the reverse striptease as the

buxom teen got dressed. I had no intention of

disrobing her this evening, but it would have been

delectable. I had chosen clothing that appealed to my

sensuous side and I hoped it would appeal to hers as

well.

I had purchased soft silky under things that were as

sheer as possible for her to wear tonight. They were

more for window dressing than function. Unfortunately,

I wasn't planning to be doing any window shopping

tonight. The tiny bra and panties were virginal white

and had a matching garter belt. I had a sense it would

be her first, but the sheer white stockings only came

to just above her mid-thigh, so it was necessary.

Besides, I wanted her to be aware of the availability

of her sex. Pantyhose, while convenient for the

workplace, acted like armor plating in a romantic

situation.

Her dress was a simple black affair, deceptive in

style. The material was silk, with silver highlights

woven into it. It was not a revealing cut and fully

covered her, yet the dress revealed her charms to the

sharp observer. With the exception of two silver

straps over her shoulders, she was bare above the

swells of the tops of her breasts. The material fell

to ankle length, hugging her body closely, outlining

and defining her breasts, abdomen, hips and legs. Two

sexy slits from the bottom hem to just above mid-thigh

allowed her to move freely.

I had also provided her with the highest heeled shoes

she had ever worn. I hoped she wouldn't be too off

balance by their height. The dress was designed to be

worn with that height heel. The silver shoes, the

silver straps, and the white gold of her necklace

brought out the highlights in the dress. She was going

to look elegant.

There were also some strange accessories from the Rosen

Clinic in a separate box. I hoped she wouldn't object

to them. Having been fitted for them, they shouldn't

cause much, if any, discomfort, either on application,

or wear. There were two soft plastic cups that fit

perfectly over each breast. They were so exactly

shaped that they were labeled `Left' and `Right' so

they wouldn't be confused. They were thin and pliable

and you could still see her erect nipple through her

dress when aroused. I intended for her to spend most

of the evening in that state.

Two other accessories were designed to slip into the

vagina and rectum. They were thin, relatively innocent

looking devices that could shake her to her core.

There were instructions with drawings enclosed in the

boxes showing how and where to insert each special

accessory. The vaginal probe had a small curved arm at

about 90 degrees that ended in a small hollow cap. The

cap fit snuggly over her quiescent clitoris, but would

expand as necessary.

The finale of the Rosen's gadgets was a pair of

earrings, sparkling like diamonds, which they were.

The clasps of the earrings incorporated a Rosen unit

that turned the ears into a highly erotic zone. I

wasn't sure how it worked, but I believed in their

work, so I was sure it would be effective. Janey was

in for a memorable night.

But I didn't watch her dress. I had other things to

do. Namely, prepare my lover for her own special

night. I wasn't really sure how she would receive the

news about my date with her daughter. That was a

gamble on my part. I only hoped it paid off.

I went back into the family room to find Sally on her

knees, her hands clasped behind her neck, her head

bowed down. God, what that did to her tits! I was

tempted to let her stay in that position and use her

mouth. It had been a `hard' day for me. But this was

too early yet for what I had planned. And she was just

a bit too eager.

"Sally, stand up, please. Your preparations for this

evening are not yet complete. I have some things to

ask you which require an honest and open response.

Please?" I held out my hand.

She looked at me sexily, glancing up through those

gorgeous lashes. My favorite look. Her smile ignited

my heart as she gracefully took my hand and got up. I

held her gaze and never noticed when she released my

hand. I was lost in a sea of emotion, torn between my

need to treat this woman I loved with all my heart with

tenderness and love, and fulfilling her need to be

dominated and bound. Steeling myself to keep to the

plan I had chosen for the evening, I took her hand and

led her to the bedroom, where I had laid out her

attire.

It wasn't much. She still had on her glittering slave

collar. I ushered to her dressing table and sat her in

the low stool in front of it. I first took a slender

package and opened it, withdrawing a pair of stockings
similar to Janey's. These had a bit more cling around

the top banding to hold them without garters, however.

I slowly slid them over the smooth skin of her long

legs, caressing each one as the stocking slid into

place. We were both trembling when it was over. It

was one of the most erotic things I had ever done for

her, and her excitement was visible, as was mine.

Next I selected a long narrow box. Amud and his wife
had made this piece. I withdrew a pair of shoulder-

length white gloves of the finest leather. They looked

and felt like velvet and were without blemish. She

held out one hand, then the other as I slipped them up

her proffered arms. As I smoothed them out, working

the wrinkles up to the tops, I squeezed the top of each

glove, tightening my hand around her upper biceps. The

faint click of a ratchet could be heard as the metal

rings hidden in the top of the gloves closed on

themselves, locking the gloves on her arms.

Sally's eyes were wide with excitement at this

development, though she stayed silent. When I closed

the rings at each elbow and wrist, tightly binding the

gloves to her arms, she closed her eyes and shuddered.

"You may not cum until I give permission. Is that

clear, Sally?"

She nodded, silent, not trusting her voice.

I gently pulled her wrists behind her and fastened the

metal rings embedded in the gloves together with tiny

hooks. Other hooks were hidden in the seams of the

gloves and I joined and locked them one by one, until

her forearms were touching from elbow to wrist behind

her back. The final connection was at the level of the

metal rings just above her elbows. Sitting on the

stool, her chest thrust forward, she held my gaze with

her fiery green eyes. Not defiant, but victorious, in

a sense. I didn't know what she thought she had won,

other than my heart, but there was victory was in her

eyes.

I moved around in front of her, and slipped silver

heels on her feet. Unlike Janey's four-inch heels,

Sally's were outrageous. The heels were six inches, at

least, in height and they had a narrowing toe to

torture her all night long. Her foot was pointed

almost straight down in those shoes. A low moan

escaped her as the shoes tightly gripped her feet and

were buckled tight with a strap across her instep and

another that wrapped tight around her ankle.

Two boxes remained. A large box, and a small one. I

leaned over to the bed and picked up the small one.

Still in front of her, I got down on one knee. The big

moment.

I took a deep breath. "Sally, I love you with all my

heart. In all that happened during and since that time

when you agreed to marry me, I never formally proposed

to you." I placed my folded hands on her stocking-clad

thighs, got down on one knee, and looked up at her.

"Sally, would you do me the honor of consenting to be

my wife?"

There. It was said. She had the option of backing

out, saying `No,' crushing me like a bug. Of course,

she did have her hands tied behind her back, so at

least I figured she wouldn't slap me. My groin was

exposed to her feet, though, and with this family...

The silence was unbearable. The heat stifling. I

broke out in a sweat. A lump the size of New Jersey

and almost as toxic formed in my throat. I think my

lower lip trembled.

"Yes."

My heart resumed beating, my lungs filled with sweet

air. I cried. Well, just a little.

I beamed, grinned, the proverbial mile-wide, shit-

eating grin. "We never talked about rings and stuff,

but I noticed you don't wear rings much. I took the

liberty of getting you a temporary engagement ring. If

you don't like this one, there are other styles..." I

opened the box and showed her the heart-shaped diamond

I had had designed for her.

She gasped. "Oh! It's gorgeous! Oh, Larry, you

shouldn't have. You didn't need to. You know that. I

don't need such an expensive stone. Oh, dear..." She

suddenly noticed her hands were bound. "Larry? I

don't see a setting. Just the stone. How...?"

I took a fine platinum wire ring from the box. Lifting

up my hands I gently grasped her left breast. I worked

my thumb around the tip until the excitable flesh

hardened and swelled up. Grasping the end of the

nipple with my thumb and forefinger of one hand I

pulled it slightly towards me. It was unnecessary for

what I was about to do, but I loved that little flare

of her eyes and her nostrils when I did that.

I threaded the wire through the hole that was already

pierced in her left nipple and secured the stone to the

wire. The heart shaped stone nestled just below her

aroused nipple. It sent shards of light bouncing

around the room with each breath she took and with each

beat of her heart.

"Oh, my! Larry!" She was speechless. I think she

liked it.

I leaned forward to kiss the stone, and the surrounding

environment, too. Tears of joy dripped on her breasts.

I was glad they had used waterproof make up on her

face.

Standing, I helped her to her feet. With her hands

bound behind her, she was rather unsteady on the tall

heels. I had her walk back and forth across the room

to get used to them. By the second time up and back

she had mastered them. I had her do a few more laps

just so I could see the effect the heels and her bound

hands had on her bouncing tits and her legs and ass as

she sashayed up and back in front of me. Her smile

told me she had been watching my reaction in the mirror

as she walked away. I grinned back and had her do one

more lap for good measure. She really threw herself

into that one.

I motioned for her to kneel at the foot of the bed.

She was now as ready as she was going to be. I needed

to get dressed, however.

She watched with interest as I dressed in my tuxedo.

She raised her eyebrow when I omitted my normal boxers,

but I ignored her unspoken questions with a pained look

of innocence. She stuck out her tongue then licked her

lips. For a minute I wondered if she knew what I had

planned. Tough. I wasn't going to change it now. I

finished getting ready for my date with Janey. It felt

strange to be primping for one female in the presence

of another.

Sally's last box was on the bed. We both stared at it,

the final preparation. I walked over to the bed and

opened the box. I lifted out an emerald green velvet

cape. I held it out to her and she got up and walked

over to me, turning her back to me just as she

approached. I settled the cape over her shoulders.

The cape fastened at the neck with a silver brooch.

The two front flaps had a series of discreet clasps

that kept the cape securely together. There was enough

overlap so that no one was going to get a peepshow

through an inopportune gap. The bottom of the cape

just cleared the floor, except in the front, where the

material was cut away to expose her legs up to her

knees. It looked odd, in a fashionable way, but there

was a purpose.

"My love, the preparations are complete. You are to

remain silent tonight. Not one word. You will be able

to enjoy the concert. I will not take that away from

you. You will not cum until I give you specific

permission." She kept her head bowed, nodding her

understanding of each instruction. I continued.

"My love, do you remember the terms of our bet?"

She nodded.

"That will be your position at anytime we are out of

the public eye." I heard a gasp.

I had had my trousers modified to replace the zipper

with a Velcro strip. I opened the fly and sat on the

stool. "Well?" My cock, having suffered through the

entire day with no attention, stuck its head out to get

a breath of fresh air. It swelled at the sight of her

beauty and beckoned her with each heartbeat closer,

closer, closer.

Her warm mouth enveloped the head as she knelt between

my legs. The cutout of the cape material in the front

let her get up and down on her knees without the danger

of becoming entangled in the excess cloth.

I reached down to stroke her golden hair. It was time

for the bombshells.

"Janey will be joining us shortly. You will not move

from your task when she enters. Tonight, I am Janey's

date. You are going to be an accessory, my slave." I

fought hard not to soften that word with an expression

of my love, a reassurance to her, to me. "You will

walk behind us when we move in public. When we are in

public, you will act normally, head raised, eyes up,

but you will remain silent in the presence of anyone

other than the three of us. I will not tolerate your

humiliation in the presence of strangers. Is that very

clear?"

I felt the slightest nod through my fingers in her

hair. She had not moved once, but I had sensed the

tightening of her muscles as she strained to control

herself.

"In the event Janey should need you, I have provided a

quick release mechanism on the gloves. If you will

feel with your left index finger along the ball of the

left thumb, you will feel a slight bump in the

material. Pressing firmly on that bump will release

your arms, and you may attend to Janey. She is our

first priority, even more important than this.

Understood?

"Any infraction, however small, will result in

punishment. That punishment will be severe." I let

the silence build after that statement. It hung there

like a sledgehammer until Janey strolled elegantly into

the room.

"Hi, guys. Ready to...oops! Sorry! I'll come

back..."

"Stop! It's all right, Janey, come on in."

She gave me a funny look, going back and forth between

her mother sucking my cock and me.

"I was just explaining to your mother what this evening

was going to be like. If you can accept her going

along as a silent consort, we will continue. You are

to ignore her unless you need her. OK?"

Janey was still for a minute, looking to her link with

her mom. She smiled. "Cool! She's happy. OK. Let's

go."

"One more thing, were you able to wear everything?"

She gave me a disgusted look. "Yes, Daddy. And some

of the jewelry was very, very personal." She shifted

her hips as she spoke, indicating some discomfort in

her groin.

"Is everything all right? Are you in pain, hurting?"

"Nooo! It's just not every date that has you insert a

plastic tube up your butt before you go out. Geeze,

Dad!" She giggled, the little girl emerging. "I'm

fine. Let's go. I heard a limo arrive just as I was

coming down the hall.

I tapped Sally on the chin with a feather touch and she

rose to her feet gracefully, without assistance. With

her taller heels, she towered over Janey, but her eyes

remained firmly downcast.

"Oh, Janey, Honey you look absolutely beautiful. I

hope you like the dress."

"God, Dad. I feel like a movie star. Thank you so

much for today. You made me feel special."

"The night is just beginning. And when we're in

public, you should probably call me `Larry.' Some of

them might think something is going on between us."

"Well, isn't there something going on?" She still

thought tonight was going to be all hers.

"What? On a first date? No way, young lady." As we

laughed, I gathered her elbow in my arm and guided her

out of the room. I didn't look back to see if Sally

would follow. She had her instructions.

At the entry hallway, I had one more surprise for

Janey. I slipped the white ermine stole from the small

table standing there and put it around her shoulders.

The soft fur of the innocent animals rubbed against her

cheeks as she held it to her tightly. I saw the pain

in her eyes as she realized the sacrifice the donors of

the fur had made. It made her appreciation of the wrap

all that more precious.

The limo was waiting, the liveried driver standing by

the rear door. She had been well briefed on the timing

and the routes to take, both going to the opera house

and returning home. She snapped to attention as we

exited the house and held the rear door open for us. I

helped Janey into the car. She slid over to the middle

of the seat. I got in next and sat on the left side.

I did not offer to assist Sally. It was difficult to

navigate without having her arms free to help her keep

her balance, and the high heels didn't help. To say I

was concerned would be an understatement. I was ready

to leap to her aid. I just prayed the driver

remembered to be ready to catch her if she fell

backwards. I didn't want her to smash her head on the

pavement. It would have put a kind of damper on the

evening...

I shouldn't have worried. Sally gracefully entered the

rear compartment and settled lightly on the seat behind

the driver. Her head remained bowed, but I did see a

slight sheen of moisture on her upper lip. I took my

pocket-handkerchief, leaned forward and patted her lip

lightly. My fingers lingered on the smooth skin of her

face.

Settling back in the seat of the car, I noticed with

pleasure that the windows were darkened, giving us

complete privacy. The barrier between the driver's

compartment and ours was opaque. I had the override

switch. It would stay up. Seeing we were invisible to

the outside world, I reached down and opened my pants,

allowing my soft cock to roll out.

"Dad! Can't you wait? Geeze!" Janey stared at the

soft tube then started to reach for it.

"Sorry, kiddo. That's not for you. First date,

remember? You wouldn't want me to have to worry about

you when you start dating guys your own age now, would

you?"

"Well, no. But, I mean, like, it's not like I haven't

seen it before and all. I just thought... Hey, how

come she gets to have it? That's not fair!"

Sally had knelt between my legs and had captured the

head of my cock in her mouth. I was gritting my teeth

to keep it soft, but with her phenomenal mouth, it was

a loosing battle. She slowly raised herself up to keep

just the head in her mouth as I swelled to full

hardness. I caressed her hair absently as she kept her

place.

Janey and I maintained a light banter on the 45-minute

drive to the gala. She tried to ignore her mother, but

her eyes would frequently drift down to watch the still

figure holding my cock in her mouth. I figured it was

time for a distraction.

I reached into my pocket and fingered the remote the

Rosen's had provided. The devices they had sent over

last week were advanced from what they had used before.

The earrings were tuned to Janey's brainwaves. The

remote could be used to stimulate just a single area,

such as her ears or could hit other areas, as well. I

had it turned so that just her ears would be

sensitized. I dialed it to a low level and switched it

on.

She didn't show any visible signs of noticing anything

different. She had been staring out the far window at

a view of the river. I lifted my hand and pulled her

by the shoulder over closer to me. Smiling, she looked

up at me expectantly. I leaned down and lightly blew a

stream of warm, moist air so that it barely touched her

ear. I watched the tiny cilia wave slightly as the

wind moved them.

Janey stiffened in my grasp then shuddered. A low moan

escaped her lips and her hand, which had been resting

on my thigh, dug in with all five freshly manicured

nails.

I blew past it again with the same response. She let

her head fall back on my shoulder and just before her

eyelids closed, I saw her eyes rolling back in her

head. I barely touched her other ear with my finger.

My hand hovered just over her shoulder, my arm trapped

by her head.

Janey jolted from the soft touch of my finger, actually

bouncing out of the seat. She stiffened almost

straight then relaxed into her orgasm. A strangled cry

tore from her as she continued to climax hard. She was

so full of sexual tension from the day's activities

that it hadn't taken much to set off a tremendous

explosion.

As she cried, I felt Sally flinch. She had felt

Janey's release through the link. While I didn't mind

her sharing it, I did mind the teeth marks she left on

my cock when she winced. I reached down and lifted her

head off my cock. With one finger under her chin, I

lifted her eyes to mine.

"That's one," was all I said.

She nodded her acknowledgement of the infraction,

understanding and accepting her pending punishment.

I kept Janey in a constant state of climax for the

remaining 20 minutes of the trip. The driver flashed

the lights briefly to indicate two minutes to arrival.

I tapped Sally on the top of the head to indicate she

was to retake her seat. I turned the intensity of the

signal to Janey's ears down a bit. She had relieved a

lot of tension, but I wanted to build her back up

through the concert for the ride home. I initiated the

signals to the devices covering her breasts. I kept

these signals low, as I didn't want her staggering

through the lobby of the opera house.

The driver opened the rear door, handed out Janey,

saluted me, and waited for Sally to get out. She had

been instructed not to help Sally, unless she was

falling. I noticed she was alert for any trouble, and

I turned my attention to the crowd of fellow concert-

goers. It was the usual crowd of the rich, the almost

rich and the wannabes. I kept an eye out for familiar

faces, and for anyone who looked like they were heading

towards us, especially those who might want to speak

with Sally.

Janey recognized several of her High School friends.

All were dressed to be seen, but they looked absolutely

juvenile next to her. She introduced me as her `Dad'

to those who were confident enough to come over to

speak with her. Several of my acquaintances ventured

closer to get a better look at Janey. More than a few

raised a questioning eyebrow, which I returned with an

innocent smile. I introduced Janey as the daughter of

my fianc‚ to a couple of them. Their disbelief was

obvious.

I was curious to know what Sally was doing to avoid

conversation. I caught her reflection in a shining

brass ornament. Her head was bowed so low it was

almost parallel to the ground. No wonder no one wanted

to speak with her!

I turned around, tipped up her face with a finger under

her chin, and said,

"That's two, three and four."

Her eyes widened at the multiple counts. She knew she

had displeased me greatly by disobeying. I think she

had hoped to escape with one additional count, not

three.

Holding her head high, she took a deep breath. I could

still see the fear in her eyes, but also resolve. She

would not displease me again.

I turned to get Janey and guided her to our box as the

lights dimmed in the lobby. Sally followed obediently.

I opened the door to the box and ushered my date

inside. Stepping through, I waited until Sally was

through, then I closed the door and slid the privacy

bolt home. I looked around the box. The re-furbishing

had gone better than I had hoped.

About a month ago, the manager of the opera house had

called me. He was in a bind, to put it politely. It

seems he had promised my season seats to someone who

wouldn't take `No' for an answer; someone who

apparently could make his life very miserable, as well.

The only other seats available for the entire season

were in one of the private boxes. He described it to

me, and as he went over the features, location, size,

etc., I had had the idea for what I had put into play

tonight.

The manager had been hoping I would just take the box

in a direct exchange for the other three seats. He was

flabbergasted when I not only accepted, but insisted on

paying full price for this season and the following

four seasons as well. That type of plan elevated me to

a special guest of the opera, not to mention an

immediate personal friend of the manager. One of the

benefits of that status was that if I wanted to be left

alone, no one would be barging in on us. Hence, the

privacy bolt on the inside of the door. Mine was

currently the only box with that feature.

One other feature I had insisted on, which I saw had

been implemented, was that our seats were not visible

from any spot in the house, nor from the stage. The

manager had accomplished that by moving our seats

slightly back into the interior of the box and by

slightly raising the height of the railing across the

front of our box. Now I understood why he had asked

the height of the shortest person. Seated, Janey could

just see comfortably over the top of the railing. He

had also extended the sidewalls of the box to prevent

anyone from peeking around from one of the adjacent

boxes.

The intermission refreshments were waiting in the back

on a small table. The box looked almost empty, as I

had specified only two seats and a prayer rail, the

padded kneeling benches found in some liturgical

orthodox churches. To his credit, he had not asked a

single question about the arrangements.

Janey was giddy with the excitement of the opening

sounds of the orchestra, rushing to the rail and

looking out over the audience. I noticed her nipples

were clearly visible, excited by the stimulus of the

Rosen's devices. Feeling mischievous, I turned the

signals to both sets of the devices up a little, and

then goosed the output with the pulse button. I saw

her hands grip the railing tightly and her knees

buckled slightly as she sagged against the railing.

She didn't make a sound, though.

Sally, standing behind me sagged as well, leaning into

my back heavily. I turned to her.

"Did you just cum?"

She nodded.

"That's five. My love, is the link with Janey too

strong for you? I can dampen it for you if you wish."

Again she nodded, but only after thinking about it.

Being linked with Janey was her normal state. But

neither woman was in a normal state tonight. Both were

filled with sexual tension. Janey was getting relief,

in a matter of speaking, but Sally was not. In fact,

by sharing Janey's `relief,' Sally's sexual tensions

were climbing higher. She would not be able to take

much more without completely losing it. So she elected

to let me try to block the link, like I had done that

one time after our week of celibacy.

I had been doing some research on paranormal topics,

brain waves, meditation, and stuff like that. I had

needed to learn not only about what was going on, but

how to control it. Some of the most obscure stuff had

been the most helpful. I had read about how to focus

on a picture of what I wanted to do, like I had

pictured a fist squeezing my cock to delay myself from

ejaculating that night. It had also been suggested not

to picture specific things attached or connected to

people, as that could severely harm them if one

possessed the power of telekinesis. We had been lucky

that time that I had only tried to delay, not prevent

it altogether. Because I was touching Sally at the

time, she had been affected as well, and, through the

link, so had Janey.

This time I focused on a one-way mirror, the reflective

side toward Janey, the transparent side towards Sally.

The `mirror' should not affect Janey's perception of

Sally, but Sally would not feel Janey's releases. It

was the best I could do on short notice.

Janey came back to her chair, a wary look on her face.

She had figured out I had something to do with the

erotic feelings around her tits, but her ears were new

to her. I think she had at first assumed that because

her hair was up and they were exposed that they were

more sensitive, but she wasn't dumb. Finally she

asked.

"Dad, are you doing that to me?"

I grinned at her. "Uh-huh. Do you want me to stop?"

"Hell, no! But you could give a girl a chance to catch

her breath, OK?"

"OK." I waited a heartbeat. "Quick! Take a breath."

She giggled. I hit the pulse button, and the giggling

dissolved into a low moan. She sagged into her chair

and leaned over on my shoulder.

I leaned over and kissed her gently. "I wasn't joking,

kiddo. This will be a night you will remember for a

long time. Forever, I hope. Just hang on and enjoy

the ride. If it gets to be too much, take off the

earrings and I will stop. Fair enough?"

She reached up and grabbed my tie, using it to pull my

face down to hers. "Fair enough, but one of these days

I'll get you back."

"I can't wait." I grinned evilly as I turned the

intensity up another notch, and activated the lower

devices as well to a low setting. With all devices

going, she was in a constant state of arousal, crashing

over the edge, climbing out just to teeter precariously

for a minute and then crashing back over. Her shudders

were spaced about 3-5 minutes apart. She was going to

have a long concert. It would be one she would always

remember, but I doubted if she would remember the

music.

I looked up to see Sally looking closely at Janey's

quaking frame. I admired her restraint. Her normal

means of contact with her daughter was blunted and now

it appeared as if she was having fits. I focused on

the mirror and made it not quite as effective. I had

focused on a total reflection of Janey's feelings. Now

I focused on letting the shadows and vague shapes come

through.

Sally jolted as the first vague feelings hit her, and I

dampened it down a little. I still needed a lot of

practice fine-tuning this thing. Janey was going to be

climbing a lot higher, later tonight, and I didn't want

to overload Sally. The look of concern eased from

Sally's face. Just before she cast her eyes back down,

she looked at my face. I smiled. She paled, thinking

she had displeased me.

"My love, she is our first priority. I had cut you off

too well, and you couldn't tell if she was OK or ill.

You were concerned. I am pleased, by both your

behavior and your restraint. The count now stands at

four."

She lowered her eyes, a pleased look in them. She had

felt a little of Janey's ecstasy and was thankful that

she didn't have to share the whole force of the link,

given the restrictions of her servitude for the

evening. She would have ridden the waves of her

daughter's orgasms to her own climaxes. She knew the

punishment I had in mind would be severe, but she still

would not have been able to control herself. Now she

could.

She moved to kneel between my legs, to assume her

position. I stopped her and motioned for her to kneel

at the side of my chair on the kneeling bench. I

grasped her by the braid in her hair and pulled gently,

until her head was upright.

"This is a special performance of your favorite pieces.

Enjoy."

I kept my hand on the back of her neck, but released

her braid from my grasp. I mindlessly traced the edges

of the tight collar with the tips of my fingers, and

traced the patterns of the tiny hairs up and down her

neck. I had been focusing on maintaining the mental

block for her, keeping Janey on edge, and listening to

the final preparations and opening remarks of the

concert. I wasn't paying much attention to what I was

doing or to Sally until I felt the trembling and heard

the soft sob.

In a single move I settled Janey into her chair and was

on my knees in front of my lover.

"Sally, what's wrong? Are you OK? Talk to me!"

"Oh, Master! I am not worthy of the attention you pay

me. I have displeased you, and still you touch me with

gentleness and love. I have earned my punishment and

your displeasure, not your tenderness."

"Ah. Yes. I need to make something clear to you," I

paused for effect, "slave."

Her head jerked up, the fear in her eyes visible.

Chapter 25

At the intermission, I turned Janey's stimulators down,

more so that she could help Sally to the Ladies Room

than to give her a break. I fully intended for her to

be in a constant state of arousal for the remainder of

the evening. It promised to be most entertaining, if

not exactly fulfilling for me. I was beginning to get

a certain - some might say perverse - satisfaction from

the constant arousal in the two women.

They returned from the obligatory visit without

incident. I indicated to Janey to bring a plate with a

selection of the refreshments from the buffet and a

single glass of champagne. The food had been

artistically laid out by the Opera House staff prior to

our arrival. Looking next at Sally, I simply pointed

to the kneeling bench. Keeping her head bowed, she

moved gracefully to my side and knelt down. I couldn't

help but notice her calm demeanor and that a satisfied

smile kept playing with the corners of her mouth.

I placed a finger under her chin and lifted her eyes to

meet mine.

"Are you happy, my love?"

"Oh, YES, Master!"

"That pleases me." I smiled at her warmly. Then, just

as I was releasing her chin, I quietly asked, "By the

way, how many times did you cum in the ladies room with

Janey?" I had detected a more than faint odor of sex

wafting on her currents as she had come over to me.

The offhand question was rewarded with a look of sheer

panic on her face; that deer in the headlights look.

Caught! She blushed a deep scarlet, and turned her

face from mine in shame.

"That's five, my love. Do not make me give you more."

"Yes, Master."

I was silent for a moment, reflecting. "Am I really,

Sally?

"Really what Master?" She was confused by how I

addressed her with her name. Normally, I use `my love'

to address her when she was a Sub.

"Your `Master'?"

She didn't answer for a while. When she did it was

with her head bowed completely down, her chin resting

on her chest. The jeweled collar must have been

choking her.

"To be completely honest, I don't know. Sometimes,

when you are focused, you are my Master. But other

times I sense you are unsure or defocused. You try to

cover for your uncertainty by pretending this is not

serious. When you are like that, then it is hard for

me to think of you as my Master. Uncertainty is

dangerous in a Master.

"As much as I desire to do so, I cannot commit to you -

as a slave - when you are unsure. You know I am

committed to you as a lover, even as your future wife.

But I cannot commit myself, my will to you when..."

She looked me directly in the eye as she spoke that

last part. She was not being cruel. She was, in a

way, begging me to take this seriously, to be the total

Master she could commit to.

"Forgive me for speaking so openly, but you asked."

I was quiet, shamed by my own indecision. I had sensed

the same things, but didn't know what to do. No,

that's not true. I did know. I needed to take this

change in our relationship seriously, attack it the

same way I did a business problem. Half the time I was

feeling my way, unsure of myself. So I played it

light, like a game. But this was not a game to her. I

would have to get serious about this, and soon.

"Sally, thank you. I confess I have been feeling the

same thing, but I didn't... No. No excuses." I

frowned at her, then made a decision.

"Slave! Do not address me as `Master' until I am your

Master." She looked up at me, startled at my use of

`slave' to address her. "You may use `Sir' until

then."

She nodded. She understood it was not an option. She

also understood that I intended to become a true Master

to her.

"Yes, Ma... Sir. Thank you for understanding."

I nodded curtly. Taking the glass of champagne from

the side table where Janey had placed it, I offered my

lover a sip. She drank gratefully. I pointed to each

one of the selections of delicacies Janey had brought

over, one at a time. She finally nodded her head at a

particularly small one. I held it for her to bite and

she deftly nibbled at it until it was gone, then

cleaned my fingers with her tongue. I grinned to

myself as I thought of how she had made a meal of that

tidbit. I could have wolfed it down in one bite with

six others just like it. Sally took another sip of

wine then refused all offers for more.

As the orchestra was still out, I leaned back, opened

the Velcro fly of my trousers and let the head of my

soft cock slip out.

"Slave, where is your place?" I asked her quietly.

Once again I saw a faint grin teasing her luscious lips

as she repositioned herself over my lap and swooped

down to claim her prize.

With Sally taken care of, momentarily, anyway, I turned

my attention to my `date.' She had been taking

extraordinary pains to ignore Sally and me during our

little discussion, which clearly meant that she had

been watching and listening to everything. To take her

mind off us, I cranked up all of her external

stimulators to full, even the one in her ass. I also

activated the implanted neuro-chemical reservoirs in

her system to their lowest level, knowing that they

would release tiny amounts of the sexual enhancer into

her system. She would now orgasm at the slightest

touch. Hell, if she even thought about it, she would

cum.

I saw her blush as the sensations kicked in, then sag

slightly as the combination of the stimulators and the

chemicals pushed her over the edge almost immediately.

She wasn't going to climb back out of this for a while.

Wild-eyed, she staggered stiff-limbed back to her chair

beside me. She sort of oozed into her seat, a puddle

of quivering teenaged flesh. Her breathing was ragged.

"Comfy?" I asked her in a light tone.

She looked back up at me with a languid expression, her

eyes unfocused and her mouth open. Her breath, when

she could catch it, was in short gasps; most

unladylike, but incredibly appealing. I thought I

detected a slight nod in answer to my question, but it

could have been another spasm passing through her.

I tipped her head over onto my shoulder and sat back to

wait for the second half of the concert. About a

minute later I felt a warm light touch on my leg.

Janey had put her hand there, right below her mother's

face. As Janey climaxed, her hand squeezed my leg, and

gradually moved towards my iron shaft. When her

fingertips finally grazed the velvety skin, she stopped

moving any closer. She seemed content with just that

light contact. Her sharp fingernails moved lazily

though my thatch of curly pubic hairs, digging in from

time to time as she crashed through another climax.

Her mother watched this from above, her mouth never

moving off of the head of my cock. It must have been

strange for her, watching her daughter in the throes of

orgasm after orgasm and not being able to sense it. I

still had the damper on their link, keeping their

sensations apart.

Even when the music started, Sally stayed in place. I

didn't urge her away this time. This part of the

program was not the composer's best work nor were they

Sally's favorites, and the conductor's interpretations

left me a little cold. And to be honest, I don't think

any of us was paying much attention to the music.

Somehow, I managed to get both of them into the limo at

the end of the concert. Janey's legs were a little

wobbly, but she pulled herself together to get through

the dwindling crowd. She didn't talk to anyone and she

looked a bit flushed. I held her close to me,

supporting her through the crowd. She leaned heavily

until we stepped outside. The cool night air seemed to

revive her. Sally followed obediently behind me, as

ordered.

The limo driver moved smoothly up to the curb as we

emerged from the gaily-lit doors of the Opera House.

She hopped out and opened the rear door, timing it so

that we didn't even have to slow down. Just down the

stairs and into the limo. She was good.

As we settled into the rear seats, I felt my fly being

opened by two timid hands. Since Sally was still bound

with her arms behind her, that could only mean that

Janey was doing some exploring. I glanced at Sally,

who was just getting to her knees in front of me. I

motioned with my head for her to get up and sit beside

me on the other side away from Janey. She did so

without hesitation.

After Sally was seated, I put my arm around her

shoulders and pulled her into me. I nuzzled my nose

into her hair and breathed in deeply. I loved the

smell of her hair. I brushed by lips softly along the

top of her head. I hoped she wouldn't notice this

apparent weakness on my part, but I found it hard not

to express my love for her in `soft' ways. I was still

learning, and hadn't yet realized it was the attitude,

not the action.

With a deep sigh of satisfaction, Sally accepted my

affectionate gesture. She tucked her legs up under

her, and snuggled into my side. I slipped my hand

through the opening of her cape and captured a firm

tit. She turned her face to my chest.

"Please, Sir. I will cum if you do that. You know

that. You are very skilled at arousing this slave. I

cannot help myself. Forgive my weakness."

I carefully captured the stiff nipple between my thumb

and forefinger. I looked her right in the eye.

"Slave, you have my permission to cum three times

before we get home. I will not stop playing with your

tits until we arrive, and I know just how sensitive

they are and how horny you are right now. I will do my

utmost to make you cum as often as I can. If you

succeed in limiting your pleasure to three climaxes,

you may choose your own punishment for your

indiscretions tonight. You will receive only the five

strokes, which you will count aloud for me. And then

thank me for. If you do not succeed, the number will

be doubled, and I will choose the punishment."

She gasped as I squeezed her nipple hard as I ended.

It must have taken a supreme effort on her part to

stifle that orgasm, but she did not cum. The driver

started the limo, and the vibrations from the road

added to her torment. I teased the firm flesh in my

hand unmercifully. Sally did not draw away from me or

resist my marauding hand. She remained quiet, her

breathing very controlled.

Janey had begun her exploration of my now engorged

prick as I was dealing with her Mom. Her hot little

hands grasped the base of shaft. She could not

encircle it with one hand.

"Daddy?" Her voice was small, much like I imagine it

was when she was six years old. "Can I ask you

something?"

"Sure, Honey. What do you want to know?"

"Are most guys this big?" She lifted my swollen organ

in her tiny hands and waved it a little to indicate

what she was referring to.

I laughed quietly. This was going to be an interesting

ride home. "I'm not sure, but I don't think so. But

the size of a man's penis is not really that important

between two people who love each other. A man does not

need a big cock to bring pleasure to a woman."

"Does it hurt when you stick it in down there?"

"The first time a woman is penetrated usually hurts

her, at least a little. But even after that, a small

one can hurt the woman if she isn't prepared or ready

or willing."

Janey had her own experience with that. She knew it

could hurt, even a small one. She was quiet, softly

stroking her fingers up and down.

"Some of the girls at school were talking about blow

jobs, putting their boyfriend's thingy in their mouth

and then sucking on it. Is that what mom has been

doing tonight?"

"Not exactly." I eased off on my tit-torture of Sally

as I reflected on some of the great oral passions we

had experienced in the past. "Your mom and I had a bet

once that she could make me cum in a minute or less

just by holding the head of my cock in her mouth. To

win the bet, she couldn't move, or suck, or hum or

anything. Just hold it. She was right and she won the

bet, the first time. I won the second time. I won't

bet with her like that again. I'm afraid of what I

would lose next time."

I smiled down at my lover. I placed a tender kiss on

her forehead. She closed her eyes and a small tear of

happiness trickled down her cheek from the corner of

one eye. Sally sighed as I attacked her sensitive

nipple once more, this time caressing it to its full

turgid height, then flicking it rapidly with the tip of

my finger. I continued talking to Janey.

"Now, I have her do it that way, just holding the head

in her mouth, more as a reminder. Giving a man oral

pleasure is one of the most intimate acts a woman can

do for a man. The pleasure almost always goes just one

way with this act, from the woman to the man. And the

very position the woman is in, kneeling, is a position

of servitude. But other than that, it just feels great

to have her mouth there."

"Do you ever let her move, I mean, does she still give

you blow jobs?"

"Janey, you should know by now, I don't `let' you

mother do anything. She does whatever she wants,

whenever she wants, and I willingly accept her gifts to

me. By the way, I also have pretty much the same

freedom with her, to do what I want, when I want. And

she accepts the pleasures I give her. She even

accepted my proposal of marriage, eventually.

"So the answer to your question is, `Yes' she still

does pleasure me orally. And I do the same for her,

too."

"You mean you put your mouth down there, on her?"

"Uh-huh."

"Wow! Doesn't that tickle?"

"Not too much. I trimmed her pussy hair back out of

the way so that I..."

"Not you, silly. Her! Doesn't it tickle her?"

"OH! Well, exc-u-u-use me." We both laughed. "Well,

I don't think so, but I really don't know. You'll have

to ask her. Later. But I do know she never laughed

while I was eating her pussy, at least not out loud.

She moans a lot, but no laughter."

She was quiet for a bit. Then, "Is mom a good cock-

sucker? Is that the right name for it?"

I chuckled. What a loaded question! How did women

always manage to ask questions that made you compare

them to each other? I was just about ready to answer

her, truthfully, when Janey interrupted. She had

sensed my quandary.

"I'm sorry, Daddy. I'll rephrase the question. Do you

like the way mom gives head? Does she have a good

technique?"

This time I laughed aloud. "First, the name `cock-

sucker' has kind of a bad taste to it. I wouldn't call

you or her that, no matter what. Second, your mom is

the absolute best, not that I have that much to compare

it to." I felt Sally shaking as I held her. She was

laughing, not having an orgasm.

"Third, it is not her technique that makes her the

best, although she is fantastic that way too. What

makes your mom so special is her attitude. She wants

to give me pleasure that way. It is her gift. I have

never asked her to do it."

My voice kind of tapered off at the end. Suddenly, a

light went off in my head. Attitude, not actions.

Attitude, not techniques. I needed a fucking attitude

adjustment. Fast.

Janey was thinking about what I had said, too. As she

was thinking, her head lowered toward my prick. She

continued her inspection from point-blank range. Her

inquisitive fingers pressed against the spongy head. A

clear drop of pre-cum grew at the slit at the top.

"What does it taste like, you know, that stuff that

spurts out?"

"I, uh, I don't know."

"Didn't you, you know, that time in the dungeon?"

"No." I cast about for a way to continue, "I failed my

Mistress that time."

She looked up at me, her face a question mark. I

explained my comment to her.

"When I was in the dungeon, I gave myself, gave over my

will, totally to your Mom. It was the only way I could

endure what was going on inside my head. Understand

that I did what I did willingly. And I would do it

again, if she asked me to. But in my mind, when I was

in the dungeon, I came to think of her as `Mistress,'

my owner. I still think of her in that way when I

remember what happened. She is my Mistress even now,

in many ways.

"When I was in the dungeon, at the end, I only tasted

the clear discharge a man makes at the beginning, the

pre-cum, at that time. All I can tell you about that

stuff is that it tasted `slippery', salty. But

sometimes, after your mom takes me in her mouth, we

will kiss, and I can detect a different taste that I

assume is a little of what I taste like. It isn't

awful or foul tasting or anything, but it is different.

Tangy, I guess."

"Oh. You don't like to talk about that time she did

all that stuff, do you?"

"It's OK, Honey. I'm just not exactly sure what

happened or how I feel about it sometimes. I do know

that a lot of good changes came out of that

experience."

"So, am I supposed to swallow that white stuff? Some

of the girls thought that would be gross, but they

hadn't done it, so they didn't know. Doesn't a guy pee
out that hole, too?"

I played with the loose hairs on the back of her neck,

careful to not put any downward pressure on her head.

"Janey, Honey, you're not even supposed to have a cock

in your mouth unless you want it there. It should

always be your choice. Never let a guy try to tell you

he will be injured if he doesn't get relief. It

doesn't work that way.

"Second, it's up to you what you do with it. Spit or

swallow. It's your choice."

"What does mom do?"

"Does it matter?"

She thought about that.

"No. Not really."

That seemed to be the end of her questions as she was

silent for the rest of the ride. A lot of the content

she had already heard from her mom in their many talks.

I know Sally had been very thorough and more explicit

than I thought necessary.

I don't know if Janey just wanted a second opinion or a

man's perspective. Sally and I agreed in our approach

to sex and relationships in terms of giving and not

taking, of it being a shared experience, not one

forcing or coercing the other. I felt confident I had

not contradicted anything Sally may have told her.

Janey seemed content to hold and fondle my cock,

gaining a sense of its size, hardness, and strength.

One time she leaned forward and touched the tip of her

dainty tongue to the drop of pre-cum that had collected

at the pee-slit. After she had tasted that, she leaned

her head back on my stomach, apparently deep in

thought. I felt her shudder as the stimulators pushed

her over the edge of one climax after the other with

regularity. I was amazed she had been able to hold a

coherent conversation with all that shakin' going on.

We rode the rest of the way home without incident, in

silence.

We disembarked from the limo, and I walked Janey to the

front door. As this was still our first `date,' I took

her in my arms and gave her a good night kiss on the

porch in front of Sally. Janey returned the kiss and

sucked in my tongue greedily. That simple good night

kiss ended up leaving us both a little breathless. Her

enthusiasm was highly erotic.

I slipped my hand into my coat pocket and turned her

stimulators off. She gave a little whimper.

"Well, I guess the date is over. Right, Dad?" She

almost sounded disappointed.

"Yes."

She gave me another big hug. "Thank you. I had a good

time. You made me feel very special tonight. Good

night!"

With that, she gave me a chaste peck on the cheek and

let herself into the house. The door shut, leaving

Sally and me standing in the cool night air. I turned

to Sally.

"So, slave. How many times did you cum on the way

home? I didn't feel any. Am I loosing my touch?"

She looked up at me, trembling. "None, Sir. But I had

cum three times in the ladies room with Janey without

your permission. How did you know, Sir?"

It had been a damn lucky guess. I just smiled a

knowing smile at her. I think I almost fooled her.

"Anyway, since I had cum three times and you allowed me

three, I figured I couldn't allow myself any more,

Sir."

I was not pleased with her response, but I had promised

her that she could choose her punishment. I was in

unfamiliar territory, and I think I overplayed the part

a bit. It didn't feel natural, but it was what I

thought a displeased master would act like. I was

wrong.

I reached out to the clasps of her cape. I undid them

roughly, one by one, and jerked the cape off her

shoulders, exposing her naked body to the night air.

The nearest neighbor was 2 miles away, and the porch

was secluded. But it was still a shock to her to be

exposed outside of the house, outdoors. I towered over

her, backing her up against the front door. My eyes

were angry, and my tone harsh.

"First, slave, you don't think. You don't figure. You

do what I tell you, and only that. I gave you

permission to come three times in the car. You missed

out on that pleasure, slave. I already knew you had

cum without permission and you are going to be punished

for that.

"Second, by refusing to cum for me, you took away from

me the pleasure of pleasuring you, of bringing you to a

sweet release. You resisted my touches, you ignored my

commands, my caresses, squeezes and pinches. If you do

not wish my tender touches, you will get painful ones

instead.

"Third," and I softened, considerably, "I love you.

Deeply. Totally. For ever and ever." I kissed her

trembling lips. I wanted to ravish her then and there,

to fuck her on the porch. It was one of the few places

in her house we hadn't done it. But her fear was a

good indication it probably wasn't a good time. She

wasn't the only one frightened. We were on the

threshold of a new darkness. I didn't know if the

darkness contained an abyss or if it was just another

room in the house of our relationship. I took her in

my arms as I continued.

"Slave, my love, I promised you a punishment. I also

promised you that you could choose it. Here is the key

to the dungeon. Go get something for me to use, then

come back to the bedroom and we will continue."

I turned her around and set her arms free. She would

need them to get into the dungeon. We stood still for

a while as I massaged some feeling back into her stiff

upper limbs. When she was able to roll her shoulders

without grunting in pain, I opened the door and gave

her fanny a good smack to get her moving. She

literally ran into the house in her high heels, and all

the way to the basement. I thought I heard a sob a she

turned the first corner and went out of sight, but I

couldn't tell.

I made my way to our room, lost in thought. I was

confused, overwhelmed by the events of the evening with

Sally. They hadn't gone the way I had anticipated. I

was sitting on the edge of the bed when Janey called

out from the hallway.

"Dad, the date is officially over, right?"

"Yes, Honey. We said `Good Night' and everything. Why

do you ask?"

"Well, I wouldn't want to give you the impression I do

this on a `first' date."

With that, she slid, - oozed is a better term - around

the corner and into our bedroom. She had removed her

cocktail dress and her bra, leaving her in just the

wispy panties. She still had on the heels as well. My

prick hardened at the sight of her. I took in her

swaying breasts as she walked towards the bed. I

noticed she was staring at my crotch and that she was

licking her lips hungrily. Something made me stifle

any protest I should have made.

"Janey, Honey, I hope you never dress like that on any

date, other than your wedding night!"

She giggled and shimmied her young tits at me as she

came over. "Get real, Dad."

I hoped she was joking. What she did next made me

think she wasn't.

She knelt down in front of my feet. She placed her

hands on my knees and spread them, making room for her

to shuffle in closer. I could feel the scalding heat

of her breasts as they pressed into my inner thighs.

Her stiffened nipples felt as if they would rip the

fabric of my slacks.

She deftly opened my fly with a quick tug. My iron

hard prick sprang out, almost hitting her in the face.

Without a word, without hesitation, she opened her

mouth wide and swallowed as much of that iron shaft as

she could.

Like most beginners, she tried to take too much too

soon. Unlike most beginners, Janey had never accepted

failure in anything she tried to do. Her second

attempt to swallow the thick shaft was even more

determined. I felt the spongy head of my prick nudging

against her tonsils. Again she gagged. And again she

came back for more. Six times she tried to swallow me

whole. On the seventh, she did.

And she dug her fingernails sharply into the cloth

covering my thighs. She reared back her head, gasping

and shaking. Janey had just discovered one of the more

deviously placed pressure sensitive implants the Rosens

had put in. Thank God, she hadn't had a hold on my

balls.

"Dad! What in the hell was that?" She was shaken, but

definitely not displeased at her discovery.

"That's a little gift from the Drs. Rosen. They told

me about it after they were already in. They thought

you might enjoy it after they saw the length and size

of my equipment."

"Wow!" She caught her breath a minute. "So, how am I

doing so far, Dad?"

"Janey, you're doing fine. Outstanding, actually. But

remember, it's the attitude, not the technique. Just

watch the teeth. I admit you are the first person to

ever get that much of my prick in their mouth and down

their throat. Not even your mom had taken that much.

But don't tell her, OK? This isn't a competition. Not

that I wouldn't mind..."

"Oh, Daddy!" She giggled as she re-captured the fat

ruddy head in her mouth. As she began to bob up and

down, taking more of the shaft inside with each

downward stroke, I realized this was the actualization

of a major fantasy for me. I thought she should know.

"Janey, no, don't stop. Just listen. When you mom
first proposed that I be a part of your, uh, sexual

education, I immediately got this mental picture in my

head. It was so erotic that I got an erection at a

very inappropriate moment and your mom almost called

the whole thing off. She almost kicked me out of the

house, for good. Fortunately, she didn't.

"Janey, the picture that came to my mind was exactly

this: You, naked, or nearly so, between my legs,

sucking on my cock. You were looking up at me, - Oh,

God, Yeah, Honey, just like that - and you moved your

head up and down the length of my hard shaft. It was

erotic then, but it is nothing compared to the real

thing. OH SHIT, BABY! I'M CUMMING!"

I thrust my hips forward, burying my cock head deep

into her elastic throat. I spasmed once, twice, three,

four, five times. A large gob of pearly white semen

surged into her esophagus with each butt-clenching

throb. Spent, I sagged back on the bed.

She continued sucking on me until she had the last

drop. Then, sliding her breasts up my body, she

brought her face up to meet mine. She pressed her lips

against my sealed lips. I knew what she had in mind.

I opened my eyes and looked directly into hers. She

was not demanding I kiss her, only offering me the

opportunity. I don't know why, but I kissed her,

opening my mouth to hers.

I felt a stringy substance pass from her mouth to mine

as she bathed my mouth with her tongue. I tasted

myself fully for the first time and didn't gag. It

would have ruined the moment.

Janey then proceeded to swab my tonsils and mouth with

her tongue, removing as much of the transferred jism as

she could. She pushed herself up on her hands, moving

away from my face. She made a big show of swallowing

the contents of her mouth. I collapsed back onto bed.

I felt her slip my pecker back into my pants and then

close the fly.

"Bye, lover," she lilted.

"Bye, sweets. Thank you for your gift. Next time it's

your turn."

Her eyes widened at the thought of me eating her out.

"Now?" came hopefully

"No. Next time. I'll let you know, don't worry."

She had a pleased smile on her face as she slipped out

of the room and made her way back down the hall to her

own. Something other than my cum had passed between us

just then. An understanding of sorts.

I was still smiling contentedly when Sally slipped

silently back into the room.

That smile froze in place as she handed me a short,

stiff crop. I recognized it as the one from Amud's

shop. This one could really hurt. I had tried it out

against my leg once and the stripe had lasted more than

a week, almost as long as my howling did.

But even as her choice of the implement for her

punishment chilled me, her next movements numbed me to

the bone. She moved silently and surely over to her

makeup table and picked up the backless bench she sat

on when she did her makeup. She moved the bench to the

center of the room.

She knelt with her back to the bench and bent backward

over the bench. She reached under the bench with her

arms and grasped her ankles with her hands. She was

bowed backward over the bench, tense. Her breasts were

presented in a most alluring fashion. Had I not had a

whip in my hand, I would have taken this as an

invitation to tit-fuck her. Even with the whip I

considered it seriously.

As it was, I was trembling. I hadn't been this shaky-

shit scared since I drove my Dad's car into the lake.

This was it. I raised my arm and took a trial swing in

the air. The sounds of the stiff leather whistling

through the air terrified me, and I was the one holding

the crop! All I could think of was how much this would

hurt my lover. It was not so much that I might hurt
her, I knew it would do that. It was that I might

injure her, do damage. I could not bear to mark her

lovely skin. I was torn. I could not bring myself to

do this. But I had promised.

I didn't say a word as I stood up and moved to one

side. I didn't' trust myself to speak. Sally had her

eyes closed, which was just as well, as I was crying

like a baby. I made a tentative swat at her upthrust

mounds, her chosen targets for this pain. The sound of

the crop slapping against that tender flesh sounded

like a cannon going off in my head. I almost dropped

the crop and ran. But something was sneaking around in

the back of my head. I thought I sensed something from

her at the exact moment the crop touched her, but I

wasn't sure. It was like it came through the crop,

talking to me. Sally had said nothing. She didn't

even flinch.

I swatted again. Again half-heartedly. Two down,

three to go. I thought I just might make it through

this without killing her. Then I realized she wasn't'

counting the strokes like I had told her to. In

frustration, I cried out at her,

"You're supposed to be counting, Damn it!"

She replied in a calm voice. "I will count if you ever

strike me, Sir." And then she braced herself, waiting

for what she must have known was going to happen. She

was trying to make me mad, taunting my weakness. She

almost succeeded.

I dropped the tip of the trembling crop so that it just

touched her flesh. It wasn't a blow, the end was just

resting on her. But the effect on me was electrifying.

Suddenly, it was as if I could sense her thoughts. But

they weren't really thoughts. It was more as if I

could sense her needs, her cravings. I understood she

needed to be disciplined. By me. By her master. Not

because she was bad. But because I loved her and she

had displeased me. Whatever it was that I felt, it

also let me know just how hard to bring the crop down.

I could sense what she needed, how much pain, and

where. It was as if we were one.

I went with the feelings, followed the ethereal

urgings. I never knew I raised my arm. The crop came

down. Thunder exploded in the silence of the room. It

was louder than the gunshot when she had dropped my gun

on the bed. The flaming red welt it left crossed the

tops of both breasts on the soft fleshy middle part.

"One. Thank you, Sir." How she managed not to shout,

scream, yell, or holler, I don't know.

CRACK!!

"Two. Thank you, Sir."

Swoosh. CRACK!!

"OH! Three! Th-thank you, Sir."

SwooshCRACK!!

There was a sharp intake of breath this time. I let

the tip of the crop rest on her chest, feeling her

pain, her exhilaration, her neediness for this.

"F-f-ffffour... Thank you. M-m-mas, S-Sir!"

I let her steel herself for the final blow. I sensed

from within her that she knew this one would be the

worst, the culmination of all the preceding blows. It

was what she needed

When I sensed she was ready, I released my arm to the

essence that we had become. I know I was the one

holding and moving the whip, but it was as if someone

or something else was guiding it, aiming it, and

applying the right amount of force. I watched,

fascinated, as the crop whistled down and landed,

bisecting the other four. Two of them had landed above

her erect nipples. That they were erect, fully

aroused, struck me as odd. The other two welts were

spaced evenly below her turgid nipples. The fifth blow

landed directly over those sensitive buds of flesh.

She arched her back even tighter than it was in the

position she was in.

"FIVE! OH, MY MASTER!" she shouted and fainted dead

away.

I rushed to her and picked up my lover, her limp form

draping over my arms, tears streaming down my face.

Her head and feet hung down on either side. Without

banging her head on the door, I carefully rushed her

into the bathroom and eased her down into the large

bathtub. I climbed in behind her, supporting her head

on my shoulder. I started the water with my feet, set

the temperature at just shy of scalding, and let the

tub fill around us.

The hot water diluted the flood of my tears as I rocked

and crooned to my love, swaying gently back and forth

as one would with a sick or injured child. I felt as

if my heart were breaking. The discipline, the pain

she had just accepted far outweighed anything she had

done to displease me. I had been insensitive to her

needs. I had not taken my responsibilities seriously

and I now had injured her.

I looked down through my tears and saw the angry welts

that striped her ivory flesh. I attempted to cup them,

to massage the pain away, but I couldn't bring myself

to even caress that sore flesh. I settled for cupping

my hand around them, almost but not touching, sensing

the aura of them. I sensed pain, aching, and,

surprisingly, relief.

The water rose over our bodies and the automatic

shutoff stopped the flow of water into the tub. Her

sore tits were submerged, and floated softly in the

steamy water. We lay like that for sometime, allowing

the scalding water to soak the pain from her skin. Her

breathing evened out, no longer catching in small gasps

and sobs. Finally, after an eternity, I felt her stir.

Her first action was to check to see if her collar was

still on. Her hand slowly rose, at first I thought to

check her breasts. But her hand kept rising, until her

fingertips lightly caressed the symbol of her

servitude. In all that went on, I had not even thought

of taking off the collar. She moved her arms slowly,

as if it hurt to move. I could well imagine it would.

As she ran her fingers lightly over the sparking

necklace, I could feel her contentment grow.

She continued to lay there, her back to my chest. I

cannot describe what happened during that time, but I

think we became more one than we were two. Our

brainwaves synched, something. Her deep contentment

spilled over onto me. She wouldn't let me feel guilt

anymore. What I had done was my right as her Master.

I didn't pretend to understand. And, typical of a

woman, just as I was feeling as if I understood what

was going on, she shocked me again.

"I've made you ruin your suit, Master."

"Ssshhh. Quiet. It's OK." Huh? Where in the Hell

did that come from? My suit? I couldn't have cared

less. I had just about ripped her tits off, and she's

worried about my suit!

She was quiet for a while, then, in almost a whisper.

"Thank you, Master."

Feeling is one thing, hearing it is another. Her

obvious gratitude was too much for me. I burst out

crying, sobbing into the back of her hair. She let me

cry myself out.

"Master, may I speak freely?"

"Yes, my love. You know you can always speak freely to

me."

She took a deep breath to steady herself and then

plunged into a long lecture. I listened.

"Master, I am sorry, but I had to make you hurt me like

that. I did it on purpose. I knew that if I didn't

force you to do it, you would never do that to me, to

whip my tits. You are so careful with me and I know

you adore them. I adore your adoration of them. So I

choose for you to hurt me there. That is what took me

so long in the dungeon. I was not looking forward to

the pain of being tit-whipped with a crop. I had to

build up my courage to force you to go through with

this.

"I also tried to make you angry with me, to make you

strike me in anger. I was kind of angry with you,

Master. You were not being serious with me. You acted

as if we were playing a game. So I intentionally

taunted you. I was trying to make you mad.

"If you had struck me in anger, then I would have had a

reason to never submit myself to you again, ever. I

understood that it would have meant we would eventually

be torn apart, as I have this need to submit to my

Master. I don't know what it is, but it is a part of

me, just as eating or breathing. I don't need it all

the time, just occasionally. But it is there,

nonetheless.

"Master, you must never let a slave, this slave

especially, choose the punishment. For me, your

displeasure, even in jest, is too much for me to bear.

This slave lives to serve you, for your pleasure alone.

Because I had displeased you so greatly, well, that was

another reason I had to choose the worst punishment I

could imagine for myself. I felt as if I deserved that

and more. I thought about what you said on the porch,

when you were angry with me. I thought at first you

were not being serious again, but there was something

else there, too. Like you were trying too hard to be

what you thought I would think a Master would be. And

what you said, about me stealing your pleasure from you

by resisting your arousing touches; that was more true

than I think you knew. I almost decided to end this

evening, until I remembered you said that. It showed

me that you grasped at least some of the basics, that

down deep, you just might understand what this was

about. I heard what you said to Janey about your time

in the dungeon, about submitting to my will.

"Master, when I am your slave that is exactly how I am.

I am yours completely. If you treat that lightly, I

will be ... I am crushed. I would rather be

humiliated, stripped in public, made to perform like an

animal, with an animal, even, than be brushed off

lightly.

"Master, to be my Master, you do not have to put on an

act. Just be who you are. Be sure of what you are. I

crave your demands on me, I long to do what you

command. But you can still love me as you are

accustomed to doing. I adore your touch, whether

tender or harsh. I need them both. Your sweet

caresses are so honest, so pure that they melt my

heart. Your firm hand in disciplining me just now

fires my blood. I have never felt so alive.

"Yes, it hurts, but only for the moment. For certain

it hurts less than an angry or careless word from you,

and for not nearly as long. I will wear these stripes

proudly. I earned them, and, more important, they are

from my master's hand.

"If you allow it, I wish to show them to Bala on their

visit the day after tomorrow. Not to make her jealous,

though secretly she will be, but because I am proud of

what you are becoming. She had a crush on you, I

think, Master. She is very happy with Amud, but your

raw power thrills a part of her he cannot touch.

"Master, oh, my Master! I had it all carefully planned

out. Forgive this slave for being so presumptuous. I

know you told me not to think, but I wanted so much for

this to be real for us. I wanted to give you one more

chance. And then something happened...

"Master? What happened to you? To us? I taunted you,

I felt your sudden anger, and then, all of a sudden,

you were in me, in my mind. You filled me, possessed

me as no one ever has. You knew what I needed, you

understood. I felt the fear flow out of me and out of

you, too. I am sorry I made you afraid. Master, were

you afraid for me? That I would be hurt? That would

be just like you, you know. You are so gentle and

kind.

"And then I felt your strength, your tremendous power,

your goodness. I felt you release yourself, to let

your fear go. Did you feel it, too?

"And then you whipped me, Master. Oh, Master, it was

wonderful! I could feel your love beating into me with

each searing stroke of the crop. Did you know I came

each time you whipped me? Especially the last one.

Forgive me, again, but I have never experienced orgasms

like that. Perhaps one day you will explain all of the

places the good doctors hid their wonderful little

toys. You did not give me permission to cum, Master.

Perhaps you should punish me again?"

She steeled herself, I could feel her resolve, and then

she raised herself up and away from my chest. With a

grace that would make a Polar bear envious, she rolled

over so that we were facing each other. Without a

splash. She pulled her knees up under her and

positioned her legs between mine.

With sure hands, she loosened the wet cloth of my fly,

and dug out the flaccid length of my cock. She took a

deep breath and immersed her face, sucking the entire

length into her mouth. Her gentle ministrations

produced the predictable effect and the swelling,

lengthening shaft eventually forced her face out of the

water. She continued bobbing on the shaft, until it

had reached its full hardness.

Sally then rose up slightly, lifting her head to look

me directly in the eye. We locked gazes. She held my

eyes as if in a vice as she took her own hands and

cupped her injured breasts. I felt the searing pains

she felt as she forced my fierce hardness between her

pliant orbs and gave me the tit-fucking I had thought

about earlier.

"How? How did you know I was thinking about doing this

to you?"

She smiled that vague, mysterious smile women have.

Then she let me off the hook.

"I was peeking. I watched you in the mirror. This was

really hard on you, wasn't it?"

I nodded, shamed by her tenderness.

"Poor baby. Let mommy make it all better..." She

tipped her head down and lightly kissed the head of my

cock on the upstroke through her tit-meat. When she

looked back at me, she was serious again. The love

light never left her eyes as she moved her hands,

forcing her striped tits up and down around her

master's staff.

Our eyes never left the others' as she gave me this

tender, painful gift, the gift of a slave to her

master. To refuse her would have been to crush her

needlessly.

I let myself go, released myself into her gift. I

reached out, thinking I could ease the searing pain in

her breasts. But when I sensed her, I found that she

was reveling in her pain, her badge of honor. So

instead of taking, I gave to her. I let her feel my

pride in her, of my gratitude for her love, for the

acknowledgement of the lesson she had taught me. I let

her feel the depth of my sorrow, and she drew it out

and away from me. She allowed me no sorrow, no regrets

for her pain.

When I came, she caught my essence in her mouth,

covering the spewing cap, sealing the leaks with her

ruby lips.

Before she could swallow it all, I lifted her up to me

and kissed her fiercely on the mouth. Her eyes opened

in surprise as I shared the remainder of my cum with

her, savoring and then swallowing for the first time

the strange-tasting substance. Her single raised

eyebrow queried me for a reason for this sudden change.

I just smiled at her and kissed her again, softly.

We lay together like that for a long time, finally

emerging with prune-like wrinkles all over.

Sally insisted on wearing her collar to bed that night.

For a slave, she was very demanding sexually, more so

than when she was not subservient. She was not

satisfied until I had cum into every orifice, crevice,

crack and cavity of her body. She discovered the same

implants deep in her throat that Janey had discovered

earlier in the evening. She found others even I hadn't

known about. At least, I think they were implants.

Might it have been love? When she was covered from her

perky nose to her sexy toes in a sticky coat of my cum,

only then did she lie quietly beside me.

I listened to her rhythmic breathing, wondering at this

intricate woman and the direction our lives were now

headed. I wondered at the unknown destination, as

well. I felt as if we had crossed a major hurdle

tonight, but I knew that several more remained. My

mind, although relaxed, went over and over the events

that had brought us to this point, reviewing and

remembering. I don't remember falling asleep.

We slept late, well into the next afternoon.

Chapter 26

I woke up slowly the next morning to the soft whispers

between a mother and daughter. It had been a taxing

night, both physically and mentally. My head still

felt as if it was a sheep turned inside out, so I

decided to just lie there with my eyes closed. I

drifted in and out of consciousness as the two women in

my life shared confidences. I didn't feel as if I was

eavesdropping, as they knew I was lying right there

between them.

I cracked one eye and peeked out at the cruel, bright

world. Sally and Janey were both kneeling at about

where my knees were. They were facing each other,

holding hands across my legs in an almost romantic

gesture. Two blonde goddesses, and nude, except for a

skimpy bikini bottom on Janey.

I reached out with my newly discovered mental talent

and tried to sense the moods of the two. I didn't want

to be crude or heavy-handed and barge right in. I just

tried to get as close to them as I could. It took a

great effort to use a soft touch. Heavy-handed is

easier. Shoot first, the Hell with the questions.

Gradually, I was able to feel that Sally was very

content. I wasn't sure, though, as it was like tasting

colors. I was still trying to learn what meant what.

What I thought she felt, though, was contentment.

Janey's picture, or aura, was more turbulent, with

brighter, hungrier colors; nothing serious that I could

sense, but somewhat unfulfilled. After the unrequited

arousal she had gone through last night, I assumed she

was just horny. I was surprised she hadn't used her

fingers or something phallic on herself, but somehow I

knew she hadn't. She continued to talk to her Mom.

Sally, I think, had sensed that I was awake by now,

although I hadn't touched her mind, or moved. There

was so much I had to learn about this stuff. Too, she

was an incredibly perceptive woman.

"You're still wearing the collar. Wouldn't he let you

take it off?"

"It was the other way around. I wouldn't let him

remove it."

"Doesn't it bother you? It looks kind of tight."

"No. I don't mind. In fact, I want to wear it all the

time now. Last night was, well, last night he became

my Master. Janey, I don't know if you will ever

understand, but if you could only have one thing in

life, my wish for you, with all my heart, is that you

find that one special man. That guy you can love as I

love my Master. When it all comes down to the bottom

line in life, nothing else matters.

"Didn't he beat you last night?" I could sense Janey

was really uncomfortable about what had happened. The

last time her mother had gotten involved in this stuff,

it had just about destroyed both of them.

"Janey, shame on you! You know what happened. You

heard it, and you sensed it. You enjoyed it, too, if I

remember right. No?"

"Well, yeah, kind of. But those look like they would

really hurt. Would you let him do it again?"

"No. I would not `let' him. I would, no I will, beg

him to do it again, though. As often as he desires."

"Why?"

"Because he is my Master. I am his, to love, to whip,

even to sell, if he desires."

"You're not serious. Sell?"

"Yes, he has that option. But if I know my Master, he

would not even consider that. He would die first."

"Did he enjoy punishing you? I mean, did he get a, you

know, a, uh..."

"Hard-on? Woody? Stiffy? Erection?"

"Yeah. One of those."

"Janey. Get used to seeing it. Get used to talking

about sex, too. It's going to be a big part of our

lives, yours included. I don't know what he has

planned for you, but I trust him with you, that he will

do the right thing. He is so tender and sweet. He was

like a little boy last night who thought he had

accidentally hurt his new puppy. He cried. He is

trying so hard to please me. I kind of made him

squirm.

"But the answer to your question is `No,' he didn't get

excited when he was punishing me. He only got hard

when I took him in my mouth. I just about drowned

doing it, too." She looked hard at Janey. "By the

way, you wouldn't have had anything to do with him

being soft, would you? I thought I tasted something

strange on him."

"He didn't tell you?"

"Tell me what? Did he fuck you? It didn't quite taste

like that."

"If he didn't tell you, maybe he doesn't want you to

know."

"Janey, I'm your mother. Besides, we don't talk about

you all the time, you know. Now tell me what

happened."

"Well, when you were downstairs, I came in and, well,

did him."

"Did him how?"

"With my mouth. Well, my mouth and a lot of my

throat."

"Oh?"

"Yeah. Those doctors put one of those gizmos down

there too, did you know that? It took me by surprise,

but I really didn't mind. In fact, I kept that fat

part (the head?) down there almost the whole time,

after that. Could you really tell just from the

taste?"

"You bet I could tell. He's my man. Don't you ever

forget it. Mine! You can borrow him from time to

time, but he is mine. And yes, I found out about that

one last night, too. My Master has a real soft streak

in him. Soft, but twisted! Do you know he had them

put them in my tits, too. I came so hard last night

when he hit me there that I passed out. I know they

are around my asshole. He probably had them put them

all over the place. I'm beginning to wonder if there

is any place he can touch us, fuck us or hit us where

we won't enjoy it. So did you like taking him in your

mouth, other than that?"

"Uh-huh. I even swallowed his, uh, stuff. And I

kissed him after and shared it with him, too. I don't

think he was sure about doing that, letting his own

stuff into his mouth, but he did it. It made me feel

special when he did that, you know? That he would do

something I asked him to do even though he didn't want

to."

Sally laughed quietly. "Oh, now it makes sense. He

did the same thing with me, later. He kissed me while

I still had some of his cum in my mouth. He really

sucked hard and I couldn't keep it from him. I

couldn't figure out why he did that. He'd never done

that before. Now I know. He must have sensed how

special it made you feel and wanted me to feel the same

way."

They sat there quietly for a while. Then Janey got

down to the real question.

"Mom, what does it feel like, really? I mean, I could

tell when you had an orgasm, and when you were afraid,

just at the beginning, and stuff. But, what did it do

to you? All that pain! And right there, too. I, uh,

I tried it a little myself last night, I hit myself

with my school ruler, and all it did was hurt. What

did I do wrong? Does he do something special? But,

really, Mom, how could you stand it?"

"I noticed the stripes and meant to ask you about them.

I was almost wondering if Larry did that, but I

couldn't believe he would. Don't do that again, OK?

Not by yourself or until you're sure that's what you

want. It isn't the same. I know because I tried to do

myself too after I kicked Gary out. I don't know if I

can tell you what it feels like. You almost have to go

through it yourself to know. But I'll try, OK?

"First, my Master is becoming a very powerful Master.

He can `see' things. Better than you and I link up,

too. I can sense him a little, but he seems to be able

to reach out and take me over completely. I don't

think he really knows yet what's going on. It kind of

scares him, this new power. I think it surprised him a

little last night. It may have been the first time he

intentionally experienced it. But whatever, it was

like he was hooked up to my brain when he touched the

end of the crop to me.

"I don't think he knows it, but after the first couple

of lame attempts to strike me, he rested just the tip

of the riding crop against my stomach. Then he just

stood there for what seemed like about 30 minutes. I

was beginning to be concerned for him, that he was

having a fit, or something, and suddenly I felt him in

me, inside me, in my head. It was like he was getting

to know me, what he could do to me, just how far to

push, how hard to hit. He was very careful to make me

feel safe. I miss him being in there now.

"Second, I had displeased my Master. He made an error

in letting me choose my punishment, but he made it

right later. I don't know what the actual whipping did

to me. I remember the pain. I also remember being

turned on even more. I was incredibly, powerfully

aroused. I made him fuck my tits in the bathtub

afterwards. I think that hurt him more than it did me,

and I just about passed out from the pain. But I was

so turned on. I still am. I wish he would open his

eyes so we could fuck some more."

"Geeze, Mom! Didn't you get enough last night? When

are you two going to act your age? I couldn't get to

sleep with all that racket, not to mention having to

feel your orgasms, too. What were there, ten, twenty?"

As Sally had talked about how horny she still was, I

`knocked' on the door of her mind, letting her know I

was awake. She moved down and lay beside me on her

side her breasts nestled into my side. She pulled the

sheet up over her. I could feel her waiting, quivering

in anticipation of my command.

In response to Janey's last question, all I heard from

Sally was a purring, like a contented kitten. That low

pitched sound struck a nerve, an erotic one to boot. I

didn't think I had another erection in me, Dr. Wang's

operation or no. But that contented purring continued

and I was at full mast, tenting the silk top sheet.

"Uh, Mom? Uh, I think Daddy's, uh, `up'."

"Oh, goody!"

With that, we erupted in giggles and guffaws, until

another hot body wiggled under the sheet and I felt a

warm moist mouth slide over the top and down the shaft

of my penis.

"Hey, go find your own. This one's mine!"

Janey raised herself up off my cock. "But I need the

practice. Besides, you had enough last night. You

won't admit it, but he outlasted you, not the other way

around." An impish grin showed itself from under the

sheet. "How's it feel, huh? Must be the first time

you got everything you needed, huh?"

She dove back down on my prick, now slippery with her

saliva. Then, "Mmmmm, good! You guys taste kind of

good together."

I turned my head and opened my eyes to look at my love.

She was breathtakingly beautiful.

She smiled up at me seriously. "Good morning, Master.

I hope we didn't wake you too soon." Her lustrous eyes

looked up at me. I had never seen her so content. She

was fingering her collar absently with one hand, the

other was lightly tracing the welts across her chest.

They still looked angry.

"Good morning, my love." I bent my head to her and

kissed her softly. She gasped as if an electric shock

went through her.

"Did Janey see what I, uh, what we did last night?"

Sally nodded. "Is she OK with it?"

Sally's face clouded over, and she turned her head away

from me as she answered.

"What was that, my love? I didn't hear you."

She turned back to face me, her face torn, a puzzle of

conflicting emotions. When she spoke she whispered so

that the two little ears on the head busy at my cock

couldn't hear. "She didn't say it out loud, and she

may not know it herself, but I can somehow sense, I

know somehow that she wants you to do the same thing to

her, too. In fact, she... she ... Oh, God! Master? I

don't know what to do! She is so much like me that I'm

frightened for her almost more now than after she was

attacked."

My normally competent, rock-solid Sally dissolved into

a puddle of tears. It was obvious I wasn't going to

get anything more from her, so I went to the source.

"Janey?"

"Mrreoph?"

"Janey, put the toy away. Daddy wants to speak with

you." I said with mock seriousness.

"Awww. Do I have to?" she teased. Then she wiggled

her firm flesh up my torso so that her head was just

out of the sheet. This action placed the head of my

cock right at the entrance of her cunt. She teasingly

wiggled her butt as if to slide down on it. The flimsy

material of her panties had bunched up to one side. I

wondered if this was by intent or accident, but I had a

hunch she knew exactly what she was doing.

"Janey. Do NOT move another inch! Not one wiggle."

My tone left no room for playfulness. She got the hint

and rolled to her side, still pressing her luscious

tits into my bare chest.

"Yes, Daddy? You wanted to talk to me?" she asked

innocently. I would have to remember how good an

actress she was. I had just pulled her off my cock,

and I still almost believed she was an innocent little

girl. God help me!

"Uh, do you have any idea what made your mom so upset?"

"Nooo!" was her wide-eyed innocent response. I just

came in to talk with her this morning. She had a great

time last night, Dad. She came so hard. I came, too,

just from our connection. And then she didn't stop,

but just kept on cumming and cumming and cumming." She

raised her self up on her hands as she was speaking.

As I saw those rubbery mounds exposed to the afternoon

light, I saw what had unsettled Sally.

Thin, red lines tracked across her ivory skin. Criss-

crossing the succulent orbs. Lots of them. More than

I had imagined during their whispered talk. Sally had

kept her poise rather well, I thought. I raised a

finger to track the lines.

"Oh, Janey! Did you do this?" I already knew, but I

wanted her to tell me.

"Uh-huh. When I heard you do it to her, I hated you at

first. She felt so afraid. And then, WHAM!" She

clapped her hands together for effect. I enjoyed

watching the jiggling repercussions. "She went from

afraid to out of this world in love with you. And then

you hit her. And she just went out." She made an

exploding motion with her hands. "Poof!"

"But, why did you do that to yourself. Didn't it

hurt?"

She hung her head. "Uh-huh."

"Then why didn't you stop?" But I already knew the

answer to that, too. She didn't know how to fail. She

just kept trying, and trying, and trying. God, how

that must have hurt her.

"I just wanted to feel just a little bit of what mom
felt. But all it did was hurt."

"Are you going to be alright?"

She shook her head `yes'. "I think so. mom said she

had some stuff to put on them."

I must have been asleep for that part. Probably just

as well. I don't think I could have just lain there,

knowing she was in pain.

"Daddy?" I knew what was coming, but I couldn't hide.

"Would you, could we, well, I want to try that, you

know, what you did to Mom. I think."

I looked at Sally for help. She gave none. She was

watching me for my decision. Her calm demeanor rattled

me. If I made the wrong choice, Oh shit. But was

there even a right choice?

I copped out. I did what any red-blooded male would do

when given the option. I decided to see just how much

she wanted it. I was going to test her AND make her

wait. And if that didn't dissuade her, well then, God

help us all.

I hadn't thought of taking this whole submission thing

all that seriously before, but now I was thanking my

foresight to prepare. I had made several purchases,

thinking the girls might want to role-play a bit as

slave and Master. But now, with Sally reluctant to

give up any of her hard fought territory and Janey

wanting to take a serious look at being a submissive, I

decided that now was as good of a time as any for the

next step. Or was it a leap off a precipice?

I turned back to Janey. "Well, young lady. If you'll

move those fabulous tits and let me up for a moment, I

have some more presents for you."

"Oh, Daddy! You're terrible. But," she looked over at

Sally, "Thank You!"

I swear she was positive I was changing the subject and

ignoring her request, but combine the word `present'

with a woman's curiosity, and you can get away with

just about anything. It may be their only weakness.

I slipped out of bed and went over to my dresser. I

retrieved two slender boxes from my jewelry drawer. I

had hidden them in the open. Another trick, guys. If

you want them to find it, hide it.

I walked back and stood by the bed. Both of their

tousled blonde heads followed me. Good. I had their

attention.

"My love. Kneel!" I indicated a spot in front of me

and to my right.

Sally moved immediately to kneel in front of me on the

spot I indicated.

"Would you care to join us?" I asked Janey.

She bounced off the bed and landed with a `thump' on

the floor. It was a fantastic sight, and my prick

twitched in appreciation of all that flesh in mo-mo-mo-

motion. Sally saw my reaction and started to laugh.

She tried to cover with a cough, but all that came out

was a `snort'. Very unladylike. But the show must go

on.

"Yes, well. Nice landing, kid. Knock yourself out."

This time Sally did laugh, guffaw, really, which she

choked off quickly. She looked up at me shocked,

panicked, as if I would be upset at her for laughing at

my joke. I reached down and stoked her cheek with the

back of my hand. We had a lot of details to iron out.

Janey knelt there with a confused look on her face.

She didn't seem to have the faintest notion of the show

she had just put on for me.

As they were both facing me, away from the bed, I

stepped between them and turned, sitting down on the

bed. I reached for the clasp of Sally's bejeweled

collar.

"Oh, Master. Please. No. Don't." She was

heartbroken.

"Shhhh. Quiet, my love. As much as this is a

beautiful piece of jewelry, paling only in comparison

to you, it is a bit impractical to wear it around the

house, no?" I took the first box and opened it. "I

think this one will be more comfortable and practical

while still serving the same purpose."

I slipped the broad leather band I had had Amud make

for Sally around her neck. He had seemed to know just

what I needed. Or maybe he knew what she needed. It

fit perfectly, just a bit snug. It was a constant

reminder of her submission to me, her Master. The dark

leather made a startling contrast against her light

skin. In the front center was small medallion. It was

a silver disk with an emerald green ceramic inlay

showing two hands bound together at the wrist. The

loose ends of the rope were in the shape of a stylized

letter `S'.

I fastened the collar at the back of her neck. The

solid click seemed to enervate her and I could feel her

trembling. "I have the only key to the lock on this

collar, my love. This collar doesn't come off until I

decide." I touched her shoulder to indicate she should

bend over, bowing down her face to the floor. "This is

what I have decided.

"You are mine, my love, forever. I love you with all

my heart and will do my best to be the Master you

deserve. Do not feel guilty for this change in our

relationship. You have not forced me to do this, this

is my choice. I have never felt like this before,

never felt this powerful before. I have you, my love,

to thank."

I took the second box and took another collar from it.

I lifted Janey's blonde hair out of the way and slipped

it around her neck. Her collar buckled with a pair of

sturdy snaps. Her collar was identical to her

mother's, with the exception that the ceramic was royal

blue and the ropes formed a `J'. Janey turned to thank

me.

"Eyes front!"

She stopped, frozen. I hadn't used that tone with her

before, but she knew instinctively better than to

disobey or make wise. She turned back and settled

uncertainly on her knees.

I sat quietly behind them for a while. I toyed with

the soft skin along Janey's shoulders and twirled the

errant hairs as I sat there. Janey began to fidget,

nervous in the silence. I saw Sally's hand slide

slowly over to her daughter and grasp her hand. I was

almost jealous. They had each other to help each other

through this learning time. I was on my own and at

that moment, didn't have a clue of where I was going.

I only knew that this `felt' right.

I had a short, heated argument with myself about

rebelling against going with my feelings. God, I hated

that. I had always associated a person who made

decisions based on their feelings with wimpy suck-faces

and mama's boys. Not something I associated with my

own self-image. It was my opinion that if you didn't

know what to do, how the fuck were you supposed to feel

your way through?

Now, here I was, feeling my way along. But, in my

defense, these were really strong feelings. I didn't

understand it, but it was as if I was hooked in to

Sally's head and body and soul and spirit. Janey's

too, but in a lesser way. That link fluctuated. Right

now it was coming in loud and clear. I plowed on, into

the unknown following the faintly lighted path in front

of me.

"Janey, before you agree to wear this collar, I want

you to understand what it means. When you choose wear

this collar, you will obey me without question, without

hesitation. When you have the collar on, your purpose,

your only focus is my pleasure. Not yours. You will

be allowed to have sexual release when I decide. In

addition, whatever, I repeat, whatever I wish to do to

you or have you do, you will do. And you will enjoy it

for the sole reason that I wished for you to do it.

Your mother can explain that better to you later.

"Your personality will not cease to exist. You will

still be the `Janey' I know and love. I expect you to

be curious and playful, as you are now. I will not

accept less than your best effort at whatever I have

you do, and I know you are very, very good at

everything you do. I will also not accept less than

your total obedience. You may question me if you do

not understand something. I expect that. You may make

suggestions that you think you, or others would enjoy

or benefit from. But when I have made up my mind, you

may not question my decisions or commands. I will be

as precise as possible in my commands. Follow what I

say exactly.

"I will not hurt you in any way. By that, I do not

mean I will not cause you to experience pain. If you

accept my collar, you will feel pain. If you disobey,

the consequences will be particularly painful. At

other times, it may please me to torment you. Perhaps

without giving you the pleasure your mom felt last

night. But know that that pain will pass, your body

will heal.

"What I meant when I said I will not hurt you was that

I will not break your spirit. If anything, I will try

to build you up, make you stronger. You have already

been hurt once, very badly. I could not bear to do

that to you myself, to cause you that kind of pain.

"I will not break your heart or cause you that kind of

pain. I love you, Janey, and would give my life for

you. But it is not like I love your mother. Our

relationship may be sexual, yes you can stop worrying

about that. But that can make this real complicated for

a beautiful young girl. I know it confuses the Hell

out of me!

"Your collar snaps on. It is not permanent. That is

intentional. It is a reminder to me and you that

someday, you will take this collar off and move on.

When you are ready. I also want you to be very clear

that if, at any time, you feel overwhelmed, if you

sense the blackness reaching up to grab you, or if

there is something I ask of you that you are not ready

to do, you can reach back and unsnap it.

"I will not be your Master and you will not address me

that way. Our relationship will not be what your

mother's and mine is." I thought fast. "I remember

one of my instructors telling me that the Japanese word

for Master is `Sensei', but that it also means

`teacher.' Use that when you speak to me."

I sat back. "Any questions so far?"

Hesitantly, she turned to me, waiting for the rebuke

that didn't come. "Sensei." She tried out the word,

letting it slip off her tongue. "I like that." She

smiled, irrepressibly. "So what are you going to call

me? You don't call mom `Sally' when she has her collar

on. You call her Love, or My Love. Gushy." She

paused, then when the time was right, "Are you going to

call me `Grasshopper', like in the "Kung Fu" tv
series?" I saw Sally shaking, silently laughing at her

offspring's audacity.

I laughed, too. "Well, that may be a bit plagerous.

But how about `Cricket'? You know, I do like the

sounds you make when you rub your legs together..." I

said, lecherously.

"Daa... Sensei!" She blushed a deep red, but she was

pleased, both at the comment and for her slave name.

Suddenly she grinned a mischievous grin, and looked at

me questioningly. When I simply looked back at her,

she lay back flat on the floor, and began what had to

be one of the most sensuous movements of her legs I had

ever seen. With each scissor-like move her upper legs

brushed over each other. With an athletic twist at one

point in the arc, she was able to apply pressure to her

excitable clitoris. She stopped and started a couple

of times until she had the moves down, and then began

to masturbate, using her legs alone. I watched her for

a while, enjoying her building sexual tension as she

stimulated herself with the rhythmic motions. Then I

popped the bubble.

"Cricket? Remember, you may only cum when I say you

can cum. I insist on that." She stopped in mid-moan.

"But don't stop what you're doing. Please continue.

It is most erotic. It pleases me to watch you."

She blushed again. The coloring became her. I hoped

she never lost that part of her character. Janey was

confused at my request and didn't know what to do at

first. Finally she continued, her pace a bit slower.

"Sensei?"

"Yes?"

"Am I being punished?"

"Are you in pain?"

"No, of course not." Her breathing was getting ragged.

I waited. She was bursting with questions. I intended

to enjoy this situation to the fullest so I tapped

Sally on her back and motioned for her to take my

throbbing shaft in her mouth. She quickly raised

herself from her bowed posture and took her place.

Engulfing my cock head in her hot mouth, she held

still.

She groaned in absolute pleasure as I pushed down on

her head, giving her permission to move her head, to

service me. She wrapped both her arms around my waist

possessively, her fingers tickling that certain spot in

the small of my back that always seemed to respond to

her fingers. I thrust my hips forward reflexively,

forcing more of myself down her throat. I wound my

hands in her hair and fucked her head up and down,

establishing a tempo that would keep me hard for a long

time. I went deep into her throat, setting off the

implants. She shuddered. I felt scalding tears wash

down my inner thighs. I searched for some unhappiness

in her, but found none.

Janey had felt the orgasm Sally experienced. It just

about pushed her over the edge. "Sensei, what will

happen if I, you know, uh..."

"Cum?" I finished for her.

"Yeah.'

"You will be punished."

"Hard?"

"No more than you can bear. But from what I see from

those marks all over your body, you can bear a lot,

Cricket. So be careful, please, for your sake."

She kept up her sinuous movements, slowly separating

her legs to reduce the friction. I think she hoped I

wouldn't notice. She was trying to avoid a climax by

not doing her best. Unacceptable.

"Cricket? Only your very best. Remember?"

"Oh, God, Sensei, this is too hard! I will cum if I

keep doing this."

"Do you wish to quit?"

She thought about that. "No. No pain, no gain,

right?"

I smiled. I knew she was a bright girl. "Right.

Learn to control it. It takes a great deal of

strength. You can ask your mom later about that, too.

She may be able to help."

I raised Sally up off my cock. I was a long ways from

finishing. She knew it, but she still sucked at my

shaft as I pulled her off. Maybe she thought she could

get something out of it that way. I lifted her lips to

mine and kissed her. She seemed disappointed there was

nothing to share with me this time. I grinned at her

and lifted her a little more so that her legs fell on

both sides of mine. Her eyes widened, hoping, longing.

I settled her down, impaling her on my shaft. She

hissed in my ear as I filled her completely.

"You had yours earlier, my love. You may not peak

again until Janey cums. She will, but I haven't decide

when that will be, yet. I am finding this `Master' and

`Sensei' thing to be an incredible turn-on. I could

get used to this. And I have you to thank!" I had

spoken softly in her ear, for her alone. She fastened

her sharp teeth into the muscles on my neck and began a

serious movement up and down my cock. I urged her on

with rhythmic swats to her smooth ass cheeks. They

colored nicely. Her arms tightened around me in a

death hug. She would have to love me to death.

Janey hadn't heard us until she heard the slapping of

my hands against her mother's ass. She was

preoccupied, anyway, focusing her considerable

attention on not having an orgasm while still

stimulating herself.

I watched the play of emotions flit across the faces of

the two beautiful women, one openly masturbating in

front of me for the first time, the other steadily

fucking the hard shaft of her Master. Shame, lust,

need, a little hate, aching need, passion, a slight

tremor, a twitch, and then some real fear as they both

sensed they were at the edges of the forbidden

climaxes. I reached out with my senses and blocked the

link Janey had with her mom. I didn't want any

extraneous blips from Sally to hit her unexpectedly and

push her over. She was trying so hard.

Janey noticed the dampening of the feelings coming from

Sally. She got a frightened look on her face, and

stopped moving her legs. She hugged her arms around

herself. "God, Sensei, is this what other people feel?

I would rather be punished. Please, I feel so alone.

Please?"

I relented and let a little bit more of Sally leak

through to her. She latched on to that little bit like

a drowning man to a life raft. She began to rub her

legs again, this time with the intent of bringing

herself off rapidly.

She was putting me in tough spot. Just like a woman to

find a way to manipulate a man, regardless of the

circumstances.

"Cricket, I do not wish to punish you. You may cum.

But you will cum only when I count to three. Clear?"

She nodded, shakily. With my foot I urged her hand

closest to me to her chest. She looked at me

questioningly. With my hands behind Sally's back, I

held up one finger, then two then three, then I pinched

my thumb and forefinger together in an exaggerated

manner, indicating I wanted her to squeeze hard; harder

than she normally would. She nodded and brought her

other hand up, teasing and then capturing both erect

nipples. I watched this erotic display for a while,

until she turned her frantic eyes on mine, pleading for

release.

"One." I lifted Sally up. I could feel the knots in

her muscles.

"Two." I kept her up, just the head of me inside her.

I kissed her nipples, first one then the other. I

heard Janey grunting on the floor with the effort of

holding off her climax. She had waited long enough.

"Three!" I dropped Sally, letting her own weight bring

her crashing down against my balls. I forced my hips

up at the same time, crashing the tip of my cock into

her cervix. I shot my load up into her spasming cunt.

Her teeth bit down hard on my neck.

Janey screamed, "Sensei!" Sally screamed, "Master!" at

the same moment.

I removed the damper from between them, and the

aftershocks that fed off each other were sweeter than

the original twin earthquakes.

We didn't get much else done that day.

Chapter 27

It was early the next morning when we finally got out

of bed for any length of time. Believe it or not, I

didn't have intercourse with Janey once during that

time. It just didn't seem right, with her wearing the

collar. I think both of us, and Sally, too,

instinctively understood that her first time with me

had to be with her full choice. That doesn't mean that

I didn't enjoy her company, so to speak, to the

fullest. To be honest, meeting Sally's immense build

up of sexual needs took most of my attentions and

energy. Having a second naked female body helped for

stimulation, though.

Rousting my two disheveled bedmates out of bed, I gave

serious consideration to how to proceed. I didn't want

to be a dictator, but the lifestyle we were headed into

demanded that there be some clear guidelines - rules -

for the two women to live by. For them to know what to

expect, how to act, etc. Hell, I need them as much as

they did.

If working for the government had taught me anything,

it had taught me that Ralph Waldo Emerson was correct

when he said "That government governs best that governs

least." Or something like that. The point he was

trying to make was to make as few hard and fast rules

as possible, just ten commandments. That's all. Just

enough to show the intent, don't stifle the initiative.

Breakfast was a veritable feast. The two new `slaves'

tried to out-do each other in making my favorite

dishes. I finally sat them down and told them they

were my favorite dishes and to quit wasting good food.

While I had them down and quiet, I decided to introduce

the rules.

"Before I start, let me say that your participation in

all of this, Cricket, is voluntary. However, you can't

pick and chose what you will or won't do, if you decide

to participate. It's all or nothing. Understood?"

I got a quiet, but definite nod in the affirmative.

"First, these rules I'm going to go over only apply

when you have on the collars. Sally, I have the key to

yours, so I decide when they apply to you. Janey, you

can put yours on whenever you are ready to participate.

After you put it on, though, it stays there until I

take it off. Exceptions are for school or company or

when you are truly overwhelmed."

I got two nods of understanding. Janey was a little

wide-eyed at the concept she just couldn't back out

after she was in. Sally didn't like it, but

understood.

"Second, there will be special clothing you will wear.

Slave garb, so to speak. Love, your first job is to

design and sew up two sets of slave garb for you and

Cricket. It should not be blatant, but it should make

you aware of how exposed you are at all times. Your

bodies should be totally available to me at all times.

I expect to see those outfits by tonight. You both

have permission to go to town to shop for materials."

I quickly calculated distances and time. "You may be

gone for two hours. For every minute over that limit,

you will both receive one stroke of punishment."

They both gasped. The time I allotted would almost

positively ensure at least a minimal punishment. How

substantial it would actually be was up to them,

however, and by the amount of time they spent shopping.

"Third, when not otherwise engaged in a productive

activity, one of you will attend to me. Love, do you

remember our bet?"

Sally nodded, her eyes widening.

"That will be the assumed position. Please take it now

as a demonstration for Cricket."

She slowly slid to her knees to a position in between

my legs. She parted my robe and slipped just the head

of my flaccid cock into her mouth. I didn't stay limp

for long as I was in one of my favorite places and she

had to adjust the position of her head to accommodate

my growth.

"Cricket, you will observe that she has just the head

in her mouth. She is not moving, sucking, licking or

humming. Nothing. This is what will be called `Head

Time.' You will have your own opportunity to do this."

Sally started to rise, having given her demonstration.

I cleared my throat, and, when she looked at me, raised

a questioning eyebrow. I nodded with my head,

indicating to her to get back into the position.

Realizing she had erred, she blushed deeply. God, she

was beautiful. I resumed when she had my cockhead

reseated in her fabulous mouth.

"Cricket, you have much to learn, and are really in a

training position. I, not you, will determine your

rate of progress. You have already begun giving me

blowjobs, but need practice. Therefore, you will

practice every morning, to start the day."

Janey cheered at that, and I saw Sally just about

choke, but hey, what guy wouldn't want to start the day

with a gorgeous teenager giving him a blowjob?

I continued with Janey's instructions. "Unless

instructed otherwise, you will sleep in your own room.

I don't want any unconscious accidents, clear?"

Sally relaxed a little at that. I wasn't going to push

her little girl into a sex slave thing entirely. Janey

wasn't as pleased, though. Tough.

"Love, you main duties will be the household, including

the health of said household. You will run the house.

What you say goes, even over Cricket, and to some

extent, over me. You will determine the menu, any

social events, and, most importantly, a rigorous

exercise program..."

How she could smirk with her mouth full of cock, I

don't know, but damned if she didn't.

"... other than sexual exercises, Love. I will

determine that area. Clear? I don't want flabby

slaves. Oh, by the way. I will be doing the exercise

program with you. I expect it to challenge me, as

well."

I saw her face pale when I said that. She knew I

exercised hard every morning. If it was to be

challenging to me, she and Janey would be hard pressed

to keep up. There were going to be some sore muscles

for a few weeks.

"Cricket, your main duty is to see to your education

and any related activities. The collar comes off in a

heartbeat for those things. Understood?"

"Lastly, the small room off of the living room, now the

den, will be a `Free Room.' None of the slave rules

apply when you are in that room, for either of you,

collar or no collar. That is your refuge, your

sanctuary, should you ever need it. To be sure that

the sanctity of that room in enforceable, I give you my

word. That, and I will put a loaded pistol in the

drawer of the desk in that room, readily accessible."

Sally lost it at that. Her head jerked up and she

almost blurted out her objections.

Before she could object, I went on. "This is going to

be our lifestyle in our own home, and is not for public

display. Unless specifically instructed to do so, you

will act `normal' in public. On occasion you may be

bound in public, but it will not be visible, and it

will be your primary job not to allow it to become

visible or obvious to the public. You will never be

publicly displayed or humiliated. Above all, you will

be expected to act with dignity and respect, both

towards each other and me. I will tolerate no

disrespect."

"Oh, and one other thing, you will always speak the

truth to me and to each other. Always. Your true

thoughts, your true feelings. You do not need to be in

the Free Room for that. I cherish your minds more than

your bodies. I will gag you as little as possible, and

only with your consent or for special punishments or

playtimes. I want you to be able to express

yourselves, understood? I will not demand silence.

"If this lifestyle limits your freedom to be who you

are in any noticeable way, it will not continue. It

will be difficult for you, knowing where that line is,

but we will find it together." I turned to look at

Sally. "Now, Love, I understand you wanted to say

something?"

"Master, the gun, there is no need. Your word is

enough."

"Love, suppose I am punishing you. Suppose I go too

far, push you past your limits. I am still new at

this. It would never be my intent to harm you, but in

the heat of passion, in the contest of wills to be a

true Master to you, I might not recognize when I have

gone too far. A doorway won't stop me. A loaded gun

will. I want you to know - know! - that you are safe

in that room, even from me. However, if you can think

of a better way, I will listen."

She sat silently, stunned at the seriousness with which

I was taking this new lifestyle. I had always heard

you should be careful what you wish for, that you just

might get it. Well, Sally was now faced with having

her fondest wishes coming true. And there was a loaded

gun involved. Not quite what she had expected.

There didn't seem to be anymore comments, so I took

Sally's hand and lifted her to her feet. With

instructions for Janey to clean up the kitchen, I lead

Sally into our bedroom and from there to the bathroom.

I looked around at the clutter on the counter, mostly

hers, got the wastebasket, and swept it all in.

Turning her with her back to the counter, I lifted her

up and sat her down, her back to the mirror. She had a

bemused smile on her face until I lifted her feet so

they rested on the counter.

"What are you going to do, Master? Uh, if I can ask,

that is."

Grinning, I answered her. "I am going to attend to

you. And, yes, you may ask anything, any time. I

already told you that."

"Master, you are going to attend to what?"

"Well, I noticed last night that there was a bit of

stubble growing down around your pubic area. I thought

I would clean it up for you."

"But Master, I can do that myself."

I leaned in to kiss her gently. "I know you can. But

would you deny me the pleasure of doing this for you?

Remember the last time?"

She groaned erotically. It had been a most enjoyable

time for us both, but especially for her.

"Every morning, after Janey finishes her `practice,'

you and I will shave and shower together. You will

shave me, I will shave you. Then we will shower

together. I will wash you, you will wash me. Any more

questions?"

Her eyes widened. She knew I used a straight razor, my

great-great grandfather's that was deadly sharp. Now I

was asking, no, telling her she would use it on me. My

face, my neck would be at her mercy. It was another

way of my telling her how deadly serious I was about

this new way of life.

"But I won't need shaving every morning, Master."

"You would question my instructions so soon, slave?"

With that, grinning, I picked up the brush and whipped

up a good head of foam. I applied it much more

thoroughly to her nether regions than necessary. Her

eyes never left the razor as I sharpened it on the

thick leather strop.

A well-placed thumb told me she not only remembered the

last time I had shaved her, she was looking forward to

it now, as well. When I heard her straining and

moaning as if in pain, I asked her what the problem

was.

"You haven't given me permission to cum, Master. It is

very difficult to hold back."

I sat back, dumbfounded. "Sally, Love. You always

have permission to cum, unless I specifically tell you

not to. Furthermore, during this special time every

morning, I will expect you to cum as often as possible.

This is our time, just you and me. Do and say what you

want in here. OK?"

With a sob of relief, she drowned my thumb with her

juices. I heard a faint, "Hey, what's going on in

there" from Janey's room or the kitchen as she sensed

her Mom's orgasm, but we both ignored it for the

moment. There were more important matters to attend

to.

Much, much later, with shaky hands, she only nicked me

once with the razor. That was probably my fault for

making her shave me while impaled on my cock.

So what if the shave was a little ragged? We had many

mornings ahead of us for her to practice.

Chapter 28

My two slave girls were a flurry of activity the rest

of the morning. Around noon or so, Janey slipped in to

my office where I was working, and stood there, shyly

waiting for me to say something to her. Finally, after

ignoring her for several long minutes I looked up at

her.

"Are you supposed to be doing something?"

"Uh, mom said I should do some Head Time while she

makes lunch."

"And...?"

"Well, I didn't want to bother you, and, well, uh..."

I stared at her. She got nervous and started to cry.

Damn. I motioned her over to me and took her on my

lap. When she settled down I kissed her gently on the

cheek and then urged her down between my legs, under

the desk. Let me tell you, life doesn't get much

better than that!

Janey loosened my belt, unsnapped my jeans and pulled

down the zipper. I was pleased she had some difficulty

doing that, as if she had never done this before. I

hoped not.

"Can I use my hands?"

"Huh?"

"Can I use my hands to, you know, get it out?"

I laughed. "Yes, you may, though I might just tie them

behind your back sometime for the fun of it!"

Blushing, she reached in and freed my semi-stiff cock.

She took the opportunity to examine it closely until I

cleared my throat to remind her why she was there.

With an impish little giggle, she slipped the swollen

purplish head into her mouth.

Not knowing how long she could stay there, or how long

I could last in that hot steaming cauldron, I busied

myself with some of the financial reports that needed

to be reviewed. It must have been 10 minutes later

when I sensed her arousal building. It was amazing. I

could literally `see' the lights and colors of the aura

around her body shifting and changing, building to a

swirling kaleidoscope of feelings. Her hands were

resting on my thighs and she wasn't moving, so I knew

she wasn't bringing herself off. I was getting better

at this sensing stuff, so it wasn't totally unexpected

when she released me from her mouth.

"Sensei? What's happening? I'm going to, to, Oh, God!

I'm cummmmming!"

I could feel her climax rolling through her, kind of,

and I focused on it without touching her. Actually, I

focused on some of the brighter colors of her emotions.

Maybe I focused a bit too much because suddenly her

eyes rolled up into her head and she sort of slumped

down onto the floor.

I leaned down and picked her up, settling her

comfortably on my lap. For being so relaxed, I could

still feel the sexual tremors coursing through her

body. She was purring, too. I rocked her back and

forth like she was a little girl.

I looked up to see Sally propped up in the doorway, a

wild expression on her face. "What in the Hell was

that?" Her breathing was ragged as if she had just

finished running a race.

"Janey was doing some Head Time and had an orgasm."

"But you helped, didn't you?

"Huh? No, not really. I didn't touch her at all."

"No. I mean with your link. You helped."

"Oh, yeah, I guess. Is she alright?"

"Alright? God, I should feel so good. I want one of

those, too..." As an afterthought she added,

"...please, Master."

It was the first time I had intentionally helped one of

them with an orgasm. This link thing I had seemed to

be different, much more powerful than the ones they had

and I still had a long way to go in learning to control

it.

Sally stood watching us for a bit. I sensed a bit of

jealousy - not much, but a bit. Then she, too, focused

on Janey and she relaxed. She glanced at the clock on

the wall.

"Lunch is ready. Would you like it served in here,

Master?"

"I'll bring her out to the kitchen. I like it when we

all eat together. Like a family."

It must have been the right answer as I saw her smile

contentedly as she turned and walked down the hall.

After lunch the two of them changed into jeans, tennies

and t-shirts for their shopping trip. They presented

themselves to me before leaving. I motioned Janey over

to me, had her turn around and I unsnapped her collar.

I hung it from a special peg underneath the clock on

the wall. I motioned Sally over, and unlocked her

collar and put it on another peg.

As soon as she was free, Sally threw her body up

against mine, forcing me back against a bookcase. Her

arms went around my neck and she drew my lips to hers

in a fierce, passionate and long kiss. Both of us were

breathing raggedly when she finally broke it off.

"You know, you don't have to wait for me to take off

the collar to give me another one of those," I

whispered to her. "I could get to like those really

well..."

Sally sighed and tried to meld her body to mine,

purring contentedly. "I know. I just wanted to let

you know, when I was free, how much I love you." She

looked up at me and smiled. "And to say `Thank You,'

too."

"I love you, too. Listen, if the collar is too much of

a restriction on you expressing how you feel ..."

"Oh, no! I'll get used to it. It's just that, well,

before, I wasn't allowed to have likes or dislikes."

"Am I doing this wrong?"

Again she smiled. "No, you're wonderful. But old
habits die hard. I will change. You are the Master,

my Master."

I looked over at the clock. "Well, as much as I love

you, and this little touching moment, you now have 1

hour 57 minutes to get those collars back on. You'd

better get a move on."

With faux screams of terror, the two lovelies dashed to

Sally's car and headed for the Mall. I knew when they

went the wrong direction down the highway that Sally

intended to push the envelope of their punishment as

far as she could. I hoped she wouldn't make it too

hard on Janey.

I had some modifications to make on the furniture while

they were gone, adding eyebolts and straps to the bed

frames, headboards and footboards at regular intervals.

I did both Janey's bed and ours. When I was done, the

new fixtures were hidden from sight. I was pleased

with my handiwork.

The proximity alarm in the driveway sounded and I

looked out the window. I saw Sally's car sitting at

the end of the driveway, almost out of sight. I wasn't

sure if she knew about the alarm I had had installed

during that media nightmare, but regardless, I wasn't

pleased that she was so flagrantly extending their

return time. I stood and watched for about 10 minutes

before the car started up and the two girls came back

in the house.

Janey came tearing into my office and knelt down in

front of me. She scooped her hair forward to expose

her neck. When I didn't move she gave a worried look

at the clock and, as another ticked off, gave a tiny

squeal of fear.

"Dad?"

"Yes, Janey?"

"Aren't you, uh, um, going to put the collar back on?"

"What? It's my job to fetch your collar?"

The look of horrified realization on her face was

priceless. She dashed up and snatched her collar and

tried to hand it to me. When I wouldn't take it, she

began shaking it urgently.

"Daaaad. Here it is. Take it." She paused. "Oh!

Please?"

"Present it to me properly, Janey."

"Huh?"

"Kneel down, yes, like that. Now take the collar in

both hands, put them together with the palms up. Good.

Bow your head down. Right. Now, that's the proper way

to present your collar to me; as a gift of your whole

being." Sally had come into the room and was standing

quietly at the doorway. I don't think Janey knew she

was there.

"Oh. OK. Sorry."

"That's OK, Janey. You're learning, remember?"

I sat and watched her squirm.

"Uh, Dad. Was there anything else?"

"No. I was just wondering if you had anything to tell

me." I was looking directly at Sally when I said that.

Janey quit squirming. Sally stood deathly still. They

both knew that I knew they had delayed their return

intentionally. "No," was her quiet reply.

I grinned. Good. She wouldn't tattle on her mother
just to lessen her punishment. "So, whose idea was it

to delay getting back?"

She just knelt there, silent. I could sense

desperation in her aura, coloring my sense of her. She

was torn between fear of the pain and punishment and of

betraying her Mother. I'm glad she stayed silent.

Taking pity on her, I bent over, took her collar and

fastened it around that slim neck. "Twenty minutes

late. For you."

She looked over at the clock and back at me with big

eyes. The clock showed that they had been over 30

minutes late, even before I delayed getting her collar

back on her.

"It wasn't all Mom's fault, Sensei. Please don't be

mad at her."

I took her into my arms and held her while she worked

out her tears. "I could never be mad at your Mom,

Cricket. Don't you worry about it. You just focus on

you. You let your mom and me worry about us, OK?"

She hugged me and dashed out of the room. I don't know

if she even saw Sally standing there. I halfway think

she thought she was escaping without her punishment.

Oh, well. She would learn.

Sally, having had the benefit of Janey's example went

and retrieved her collar from its peg on the wall.

With the grace of an angel, she knelt in front of me

and gave me her gift. The way it was done made me feel

honored to accept it. I know I cherished her, but she

made it seem special. Even so, there was an issue

between us. I locked the collar around her neck.

As she tried to rise, I placed my foot on the back of

her head. She froze. I sensed dread spreading through

her. She knew I was displeased. Not angry.

Disappointed.

I tried to focus on that disappointment and project it

to her. She gasped as I succeeded, then she dissolved

into a sobbing heap. I was aware of Janey outside the

door, listening. I tried to send her a reassurance

that it was OK. I would not hurt her Mom. I was

surprised to feel her calm down.

I let Sally stay down. I did not try to comfort her as

I had her daughter. I did relax the displeasure I was

focussing on her and when she finally got her sobbing

under control, I spoke to her.

"I expect to see the slave garb by tonight, 10:00. No

delays, understood?"

"Yes, Master." Her voice was quiet.

"Do Janey's outfit first and have her wear it in when

she is ready for her punishment." I felt the fear

surge through the trim body listening outside the door.

She really had been hoping I had forgotten.

"Yes, Master."

"Your punishment is 45 minutes." I had tacked the

remaining time from Janey's punishment to hers.

"Yes, Master. Thank you, Master." I didn't sense that

she really was thankful, but I didn't want to push it.

Dinner, as you can imagine, was a quiet affair. I was

rather amused that they were both so somber. I was

also amused, and pleased, that neither was afraid.

Janey was anxious, not knowing what to expect. Sally

was sad, sorry she had displeased me. I had already

decided on Janey's punishment. I also had a plan

forming for Sally's. I hoped it would make my point.

Sally had had Janey working on the outfits while she

prepared dinner. Janey wasn't happy about that as

getting her outfit done sooner would have accelerated

the time of her date with destiny. She cleverly got

around that by doing all the prep work on her Mom's

outfit first, so that after dinner, when Sally went in

to sew them together, all of Janey's pattern still

needed to be cut out. I heard them discussing it, with

Sally telling Janey I had wanted hers done first.

Janey very correctly pointed out that I had told Sally

to do Janey's first, not Janey. Since Sally hadn't

passed that on to her, she had been free to do what she

wanted. Damn, I knew she was a smart girl!

As a result, it was nearly 9:00 when Janey slipped into

my office. I let her stand there a moment before

looking up. I think I gasped, because she blushed a

deep, deep red.

Janey was wearing a vest of shiny dark blue satin. The

sides of the vest came to, but didn't cover her

nipples, thus exposing her charms to my view. A broad

sturdy belt of the same color with several pairs of D-

rings on the sides and in the back was cinched around

her tiny waist. Her skirt, also dark blue, ended

before her legs began, leaving her exposed in every

position. With her collar, that was all she wore. It

was exquisite.

I admired her for several minutes, having her turn

around and pose for me. I felt her getting more and

more aroused as she paraded herself, nearly naked, in

front of me. I kept her moving and posing for a while

longer, then indicated for her to kneel in front of me.

When she knelt, I pulled open the robe I had slipped

into after dinner. My appreciation of her beauty was

evident. "Head Time," was all I said to her.

Without the slightest hesitation she slipped her mouth

over the head of my cock. This time, however, it

seemed to calm her down from her aroused state. I

began to sense softer hues in the colors of her aura,

still with the occasional bright flashes of arousal but

more organized and rhythmic.

I sat stroking her hair gently for the longest time.

It was a kind of bonding time for us. I wanted her to

know that the punishment to follow was not done in

anger. I think she understood.

When I lifted her up from her knees, she kissed me.

Not exactly an unchaste kiss, either. Undeterred, I

positioned her over my knees. Sally had provided

straps that were attached to the belt and I understood

their purpose immediately. Capturing Janey's wrists, I

looped the soft straps around them and then fed the

ends through the double-D rings in the back of the belt

that went around her waist.

Janey struggled for a bit, and then giggled nervously,

"Oh! That's what those are for. mom said you'd

probably know."

"Yeah, she's pretty smart. You'd have figured it out

eventually, too."

I rubbed my hand all over the target she presented to

me. This wasn't part of the punishment. I just

enjoyed rubbing her bare ass. It was just so perfect:

the perfect shape, the perfect size, perfect texture,

and almost the perfect color. Well, I was going to

make it the perfect color, and right now.

WHAP!

"OH!"

WHAP!

"OH!"

WHAP! WHAP! WHAP!

Oooooohhhhh, God. I'm cummmmmmmming!

I knew she had been primed. I hadn't wanted to focus

on her and accentuate her arousal, I was still too

clumsy with it. So I was glad when she went over after

just five firm swats. I think the Rosen's gadgets

helped, but I swear she would have started just as fast

on her own.

I picked up the pace and the hardness now that she was

on her way. I don't know how high she went or how many

times. She just kept going on and on and on. Her

hands clenched and unclenched over and over as she

struggled against her bonds. My leg under her crotch

was dripping with her fluids.

After the last blow, I rested my hand on the now ruby

orbs. The heat from them was astounding. I dipped my

finger into her dripping slit and touched her button.

That set her off anew. I was busy watching the colors

of her aura and how they changed as I touched her.

When I brought the tip of my dripping finger to her

tightly clenched anal rosebud, the intensity of the

colors dimmed. All except one. That light seemed to

gather all the other light into itself. I circled my

finger, carefully and easily rimming her asshole. The

light followed my movements and glowed brighter still

as she became accustomed to the unfamiliar touch.

Taking a chance, I slipped the marauding digit into her

back hole to the first knuckle. The flash of light

almost blinded me as her entire bodily aura seemed to

come alive with colors and hues of happiness. Janey

arched her back, bowing her body so tight her ankles

almost touched the back of her head. With a final

shudder, she collapsed across my knees.

I loosened her wrists from the convenient restraints.

I lifted her limp body in my arms and carried my

treasure into her room. I sat her on her bed and

carefully stripped off the slave garb from the passive

girl. I noticed that Sally had provided Velcro

closures in strategic places so that the clothing could

be removed without releasing the slave from bondage.

She had put a lot of thought into the garments.

I reached behind Janey's neck and removed her collar.

She stifled a sob when I did. I tipped the naked girl
back and put her under the covers, then pulled them up

to her chin. She gave me a little pout, but she knew

what was coming. We both knew. We had both sensed it.

"Janey? We need to talk."

"Do we have to?"

I just looked at her and smiled. Then nodded my head.

"I'm going to hold on to your collar for a while. You

like this too much, and you want it for the wrong

reason. But, you know that, don't you?"

She nodded, a single tear slipping down her cheek.

"I am going to let you wear it, though ..." she looked

up quickly, surprised, "...on two weekends a month, but

never two in a row." She frowned, thinking,

calculating. "And on special occasions, of course.

Fair enough?"

She nodded, agreeing that it was fair.

"You want this too much. A big reason is because you

think it will get me to fuck you sooner, right?" She

gave me a wry grin. "Well, kiddo, you're probably

right. If you were tied up and naked, the Pope would

have trouble resisting you." I got a wrinkled nose as

she pictured that gentle elderly statesman leering at

her, but she got the general idea.

"There is so much out there you have yet to experience.

If you were locked up in here, literally, you would

always wonder what you had missed. There is plenty of

time for you to embrace this life later, when you know

absolutely that this is what you want.

"You should know, too, that I love you very much. I

could never bear to hurt you."

"The spanking didn't hurt me, Daddy."

"I know, Janey. I know. God, I thought you were going

to explode!"

She was giggling as I leaned over to kiss her

goodnight. She caught me around my neck and hugged me

fiercely.

"Dad? Mom's afraid."

"Afraid? Of what? That I will punish her?"

"Oh, no! She accepts that. I'm not real sure, but I

think she knows she did something kind of stupid. She

feels like she disappointed you and is afraid that you

won't forgive her." All in one breath.

"Well, Janey, not that it's any of your business, but

she did screw up pretty badly. And I am disappointed.

But I have already forgiven her. I won't, I can't hold

it against her. I love her too much." I paused and

got real serious. "I will try to help her remember,

though. Uh, do you want me to try to turn down your

link with her? It might get pretty intense."

That last question sent a surge of terror through the

teen, the response I was looking for. I felt a

corresponding echo of that terror from outside the door

mixed with panic. I quickly cut their link, then

winked at Janey. Her eyes widened in surprise and

laughter when she realized the trick I had pulled on

the eavesdropping woman. She was also terribly

relieved, an emotion I did not allow her mother to

sense.

I left her snuggling in her bed, trying to follow us

with her link. I knew it wouldn't be hard for her, as

I planned to mete out her Mom's punishment in the room

over her bedroom. I hoped she would understand. I

hoped they both would.

I met up with Sally outside my office. If I had stared

at Janey's outfit, I was google-eyed at Sally's. Her

outfit was made up of light tan leather with emerald

satin trim. Instead of a vest, Sally wore a halter-

like top. A tight strap went around her chest snug

under her breasts. Two more went around the outsides

of her breasts, up and behind her neck. I assumed it

tied there. There was very little other material and

leather. The effect was to lift and compress her tits,

putting those glorious orbs on a type of tray. The

welts I had placed there the night before were proudly

displayed.

Her skirt was similar to Janey's with a sturdy waist

belt, D-rings and convenient straps for binding her

wrists. Her skirt, though, was composed of alternating

narrow leather and emerald thongs. The thongs all

ended at different lengths, and they were weighted at

the ends, like they had fishing weights sewn into them.

I noticed the ones in the front were designed to bump

up against her clit and slit when she moved, keeping

her aroused. Clever girl!

Without a word I took her hand and led her upstairs, to

the room where we had entertained Amud and Bala. The

Arabian motif was still in place. I pointed to the

other room, the women's quarters without a word. She

emerged several minutes later in her veils and gauze

outfit I had laid out for her.

She came and stood before me, wondering what to do

next. I clicked the remote of the stereo. The `cling-

cling' sounds of Eastern music filled the room.

"Dance."

I could sense her indecision and her despair. I could

also tell she wanted so badly to please me.

She began to move. I was prepared to love any effort

she made, but even I have to admit she performed

awkwardly. Her heart was in it, she gave it her all,

but she did not have the training necessary to make it

right. She danced with every fiber of her being and I

loved her for it. I made her dance the entire 45

minutes. When I clicked off the music, she collapsed

in a sweating, sobbing heap in the middle of the floor.

I let her sob. I was careful not to convey my

displeasure. If she had tried to reach out to me with

her link, she would have felt how proud I was of her

for her effort, for not quitting, for her desire to

please me regardless of her lack of skill. Eventually

she quieted down and did reach out to me. And she

knew.

I think it made her feel worse. She finally sat back

on her heels, her face a puffy, teary mess. Her hair

was plastered to her head with sweat. I had never seen

her look so beautiful.

I took her two hands and held them in mine. She almost

broke down again. She knew a `we have to talk' moment

when she saw one.

"Did you dance well, Sally?" I used her name. That

shook her, too.

"N-n-no. But I tried... Master?" She ended with a

question, not knowing how to address me. I gave her a

wan smile, not much comfort, even less help.

"Are you capable of dancing better?"

"Oh, yes! I just need to learn, and to practice.

Maybe Bala...?" Her voice trailed off as she couldn't

see where this was going.

"Do you think your dance pleased me?"

"I, I don't know. I tried to please you. I sensed you

were pleased, but I also felt that you were trying very

hard not be displeased. I danced so badly, though, how

could you have liked it?"

"I liked it very much because it came from your heart,

the heart of the one I love."

"But why...?" There were so many questions, she didn't

know where to start. I decided to let her off the

hook.

"Sally. I am a new Master. I can't `dance' very well

yet, either, but I am willing to learn. Unlike you, I

don't have Bala to teach me. I have to rely on you to

help me. I am trying very hard, with all my heart, to

be the Master you want me to be, to be the best Master

I can be for you, and for Janey. I may do things

awkwardly at first, but you must know my heart is

always there for you.

"Please do not ever purposefully seek to extend a

punishment again. I will try to provide you with ample

discipline, if that is what you seek, what you need. I

need to learn what I can give you first, how to `dance'

to please you, before I can do the fancy steps.

Agreed?"

Sally's eyes were closed, trying to hold back the

tears. She nodded her heartfelt agreement.

"I will change so you can punish me now."

"The dance was your punishment."

"But...?"

"My Love, " she breathed a sigh of relief at her slave

name, "we both know you would enjoy a spanking at my

hand as much as your daughter did, if not more. Not to

make you feel worse than you do right now, but I think

you need to know what I had planned before you decided

to lengthen your return time. What I wanted to do was

to warm your bottom to a sufficiently rosy hue, and

then take you savagely over and over again until you

cried `Uncle'. That is still something I plan to do

every night, or as often as possible. But not

tonight."

With a tiny wail, she brought her hand to her mouth to

cut off her cry. She knew she had lost something

special by trying to do it on her own. Failing to

still her cries, she threw herself at my feet, her hair

covering them. I could feel her tears of loss, remorse

and sorrow dripping over them, washing over them. I

let her cry herself out. Then I helped her up and led

her down to our room.

I stripped her as I had Janey, gently and with

worshipful adoration of her glorious body. I led her

to the bathroom and left her to her nightly

preparations. When she came back to bed, I laid her

softly back against the pillows. I took her wrists

and, with a single simple loop, tied them to the

headboard. It was tied tight, but it was more symbolic

than functional. A firm tug would loosen her wrists in

the night, if necessary.

We cried together and came together as I made love to

her that night, passionately, slowly and with ardor,

over and over.

We both knew it would have been better the other way.

Chapter 29

Janey was calm the next morning as she came in to

practice her fellatio. She had followed closely her

mother's tortured emotions the night before over their

link. She had not sensed any malicious intent on my

part. She also knew I had forgiven her mom and that

the incident was behind us.

I was still half-asleep when her hot mouth engulfed my

limp dick. Janey had simply crawled in under the

covers, nude, and gone about her business. God, could

it get any better?

I turned to look at my bride-to-be and found she was

already awake, quietly watching me wake up. We looked

at each other in silence as her daughter labored below.

I watched for any signs of anger or jealousy, but there

was only contentment. Even when she saw my pupils

dilate and my nostrils flare as I filled that

industrious tight hot mouth with my essence, there was

only peace and pleasure at my release. I felt the two

diamond hard points of Janey's nipples working their

way up my chest. I turned to meet her mouth as she

kissed me, my taste still predominant in her mouth.

"Morning. Morning, Mom." She saw Sally's wrists still

tied to the headboard from the night before. She

didn't seem to be alarmed or surprised. Seeing there

was no rush, she kind of melted her fabulous body into

mine. I was prepared for her to try to slip my cock

into her slit, but she didn't try. I was surprised,

and proud.

With her finger she reached over and traced the letter

in medallion of Sally's collar. I think she was a

little sad she didn't have hers, but she seemed

resolved to let me set the pace. I know she was happy

for her Mom.

I reached up and jerked the strap, freeing Sally. With

a lascivious grin I ran my finger lightly over her bare

pubic area. There was just the faintest hint of

stubble, but that was all the excuse I needed. More

than I needed. Janey was forgotten as my love and I

headed for the bathroom.

At breakfast I informed Sally that I wanted her to set

up a regular evening with Amud and Bala. Amud was a

fascinating young man, well versed in a broad range of

political and financial topics and I found I looked

forward to our discussions. He had expressed that he

did as well. He and I could talk while the girls
learned to dance and whatever else. Bala would also

benefit from the relationship, as I was sure my girls
would educate her on the American way of life. They

liked Bala as much as I liked Amud.

Amud and Bala visited us on Friday. Much to Janey's

elation, I let her wear her collar. Sally had called

Cece to help with the preparations, so things were

going smoothly. Bala, Sally and Janey disappeared

behind the flap of the tent and we could hear them

chatting noisily.

We didn't notice when it got quiet, but suddenly we

heard Bala exclaim loudly. We both became alert at

that and watched warily as Bala surged out of the

woman's quarters, pulling a half-naked Sally behind

her.

"Look! Look!" she shrilled.

Bala dragged Sally in front of Amud and bared her

fabulous tits to his view. I say `dragged' more

because I want to, rather than because Sally was

resisting. She wasn't and that surprised me. I also

found that her lack of resistance touched an explosive

anger deep within me that I didn't know I had. I knew

Bala had sort of dominated Sally before during the

fittings, but I wasn't sure it still carried over.

Apparently it had.

As I had been trained to do in highly charge emotional

situations, I froze with a blank look on my face. My

enemies, those few still living, know to fear that

expression.

The whip marks I had made earlier in the week on

Sally's lovely creamy white tits were healing nicely,

but the marks were still clearly visible. In my

jealous rage, I thought Amud's eyes would bug out of

his head as he stared at those two whip-marked orbs,

though in honesty, he tried hard to show a purely

professional interest in them. He didn't quite

succeed, but I later admitted his restraint. He was

clearly uncomfortable and in an awkward situation. I

saw him subtly shift his sitting position, trying to

ease the pressure of his obvious erection.

Janey stood paralyzed in the doorway, forgotten for the

moment. She had seen my face, and it terrified her. I

could sense that over the link. She could feel my

anger very clearly. What surprised me, as I later

thought through all of this, was that Sally didn't

sense it. It was my first indication that their `link'

was imperfect and different for the two of them. Only

certain things went between them, and they couldn't

sense the same things in me. At the time, however,

that didn't mean shit.

What angered me most was that Sally had gone completely

submissive. Again. I recognized that at once. It had

been a point of contention between us the last couple

of nights as we talked in bed. I would remove her

collar and she would protest, ending with her softly

crying in the night beside me, her hot tears dripping

on my chest as we cuddled. I could take a lot, but

when she cried, well, what can I say? I let her tears

influence me. OK, OK. So I gave in completely. Call

me a wuss. You try it next time!

I tried to explain to her that I missed the `old'

Sally. I told her what I had told Janey, that she

wanted this too much and I didn't think she was ready.

I knew I wasn't ready. She didn't care. She couldn't

get enough collar time. She craved it after having

done without for so long. She was like a kid with a

sweet tooth locked in a candy store at night with no

one else there. She was an addict, and it changed her.

It scared the shit out of me.

I knew she thought she was trying to help me by being

the perfect submissive, but unfortunately, I wasn't

even close to being the perfect Master. It wasn't a

`fit' that would work. I needed the love of my life to

be the love of my life. I was willing to make changes,

drastic ones to keep her, but I would not risk losing

her.

I was caught on the horns of a dilemma, with both of my

choices having a high probability of losing the type of

relationship with Sally that I needed. It angered me

that Sally now seemed to `go sub' with anyone to get

her `fix', even another woman, in this case, Bala, the

sub and wife of my friend. I didn't know or recognize

at that time that women - and men - could be either

dominant or submissive. Or both or neither. Like I

said, this was new to me.

Bala had been extolling the exquisiteness of the marks,

going in detail about the strength and control each

showed. She had Sally hold up her tits with her hands

to Amud, putting them mere inches from his face. In my

silent rage, I imagined his hot, fetid breath caressing

those orbs as he leaned forward, drooling down his

chin, soiling his expensive silken tie. In actuality,

he could hardly breathe, he was so scared, and he moved

away from the temptation, not toward Sally. I didn't

care. I saw what I wanted to.

When Bala began touching Sally's tits, tracing the

welts with the tips of her finger, making suggestive

comments to Amud in their language, I thought Amud was

going to come in his trousers. Sweat beaded his brow

and I saw him clenching his fists and teeth, trying to

maintain control. It was obvious however that he was

extremely attracted to Sally and her tits. But I

couldn't blame him for that. Sally was an exceedingly

beautiful woman.

Janey finally reacted when Bala began fondling her

Mom's breasts, pulling out on her turgid nipples,

rolling them between her thumb and fingers. When Sally

moaned in a small orgasm, Janey moved quietly from her

frozen position at the door and insinuated herself

between the other two women. That seemed to snap them

out of whatever co-generated trance they were in. Bala

suddenly realized the horrendous error she had made.

In her excitement, she had gotten carried away. I knew

she had a good heart and only the best intentions.

Sometimes things don't cross the cultural lines that

well, however.

Sally pulled her top back together, somewhat

reluctantly, it seemed to me. She took her damn sweet

time doing it. It took forever before that last peek-a-

boo nipple finally bid us all adieu. She had denied

that the humiliation Gary put her through had turned

her on, but it was obvious from the hardness of those

turgid points that she did not mind this mildly forced

exhibition of her body. True, Amud and Bala were not

strangers and she was not being humiliated, exactly.

As she was led back to the women's quarters by a

frantic Janey, I saw her glance at the crotch of Amud's

pants, checking to see if she had an effect on him. I

don't know what it is about women that they get

insecure at weird times. But to me, that glance was

like pouring gasoline on a fire. Somehow I contained

myself.

Bala, trying to make things better, threw herself down

in front of my pillow. After several attempts to

communicate, she finally said, in broken English, "You

want more practice, use this worthless sperm catcher,"

and pointed to her own chest. She had the sense now to

keep her own blouse closed.

Amud was even more embarrassed with that announcement,

so much so that he seemed to have been distracted from

his arousal at seeing Sally's bare chest. He explained

that Bala, and he, were terribly embarrassed that they

had unknowingly breached a cultural protocol. In their

country, these things were accepted. In fact, Bala was

complimenting me on my quick learning of the handling

of the whip. My anger and displeasure was apparent to

all but Sally. His words helped, and though not

abated, my anger moved from the front to the back of my

mind, until it could be thoroughly and properly vented.

As will happen with good friends, the evening continued

and the events were ignored, if not forgotten.

We bid them good-bye, with both of them still acutely

chagrined at what had happened. Sally and I both

reassured them that we wanted to see them next week,

and not to worry about it. We watched their limo drive

off. We stood there in silence, both dreading the

return to our lives, but for different reasons. Janey

had filled Sally in on my reaction, and when attuned to

it Sally was able to pick it up on her link as well.

The storm clouds erupted as soon as the door closed.

Lightning flashed and the thunder rolled. I was in a

rage. I bellowed and yelled. I thrashed and banged

around. This is all very difficult to do when you

don't move a muscle or make a sound.

I don't recall ever having been so angry in my entire

life. Not when a South American Colonel wanted me to

remain against my will in his establishment. Not when

I had seen the photos of Gary touching and 11 year-old

Janey. Not even at Steven, the boy who attacked Janey.

Never! I shook. I literally shook with the internal

tension.

My fury was palpable and must have been clear over the

link, as Sally and Janey followed me to the cellar

without a word, without protest. I stripped both of

them without preamble, Janey, too. I wasn't thinking

clearly. I knew it, but at the moment, I didn't care.

I was angry, mad, furious, and I wanted satisfaction.

I wanted to hit something, hard. I wanted someone else

to feel the pain I was feeling.

I tied both of them up, hanging them from the chains

attached to the joists. I didn't even protect the

tender skin around their wrists as I hoisted them off

the ground, their feet several inches from the cold

concrete. They dangled there, swaying slightly,

delicious targets for my anger.

I was in a foul mood and I was in dangerous territory.

I knew if I started on Sally, I would regret it.

Janey, innocent Janey, had been a non-participant in

the events of the evening that brought us to the

cellar. I had no cause to hurt her, and even in my

rage I knew I couldn't bear to raise my hand against

her.

I went to the wall and selected the thong Bala had

given me. She had used it on Janey before. It was

soft and supple, almost like a feather when it slapped

against my palm. It would take a lot to hurt her with

this, and that was not my intent. I walked over to

where she was hanging, waiting quietly for me. The

tensions were ripping through her tender teen body,

leaving her panting in the cool cellar air. Just

before I started to vent my anger on her, I remembered

the gag Bala had used. I lifted it to her. She shook

her head, no.

I raised my hand to strike her. Her quiet acceptance

of what I was about to do, even with the lightest

possible of implements, pierced my rage like a rapier.

I stood there for an eternity, my arm upraised, then

turned and left the dungeon.

I went jogging, running. I left them hanging while I

beat up my own body. Although I keep in shape, jogging

has never been one of my preferred exercises. I find

it masochistic. I think it's great if you like it but

my body strongly objects, both during and after when I

jog.

I don't recall how far I ran. It was late when I

returned to the cellar to check on my girls. The

pounding of the pavement had vented the most of my

anger and I felt more in control. Maybe there was

something to this running stuff after all.

I let Janey down and carried her up to her bed. She

had been hanging for hours, senselessly. Though she

had been brave and accepting, she must have been

terrified. Tenderly I wiped her fevered, sweaty brow

with a cool towel, cooing to her, cuddling her to my

sweaty chest. She woke up briefly and cocked her head,

as if trying to feel something. She smiled wanly up at

me, sensing that I was back in control of myself. She

was asleep before I left her.

I reached around to loosen her collar and she cried out

in her sleep. Even in the face of my anger, she wanted

to keep her collar. I understood she was not ready to

let go of this yet.

I tried to calm myself, convince myself that my anger

was gone. It wasn't, but I had it under control. The

rage I had felt had dissipated. I slipped back down to

the cellar. Looking at my love's beauty soothed me as

cool water.

Sally tried to speak. I silenced her with the doped

gag Amud had given us. I hoped that whatever that

sauce did would be enough to get her though the night.

Her tears soaked into the leather of the band as I

tightened it around her head, pulling the gag in as far

as it could go.

Blindly, without forethought, I went to the wall with

the whips. I picked up the one I thought would hurt
the most, yet not kill her. It was a vicious

horsewhip, not designed for human flesh at all. The

horrible lash could rip skin from the bone if used

carelessly or in anger.

I started in on Sally with no warm-up. I was not

gentle. This was not for her pleasure. Or mine. She

could not respond. I did not want her to. I could

hear her muffled cries behind the gag, but I did not

care. I was walking a dark path with jealousy and rage

the only guideposts I could see in the darkness. They

were dangerous guideposts in unfamiliar territory.

I yelled, I cursed, I cried. I told her of the

heartache I had felt when she submitted, however

innocently, to another hand. I told her how angry I

had been with her actions, her non-selective

submissiveness. I told her how close I had come to

striking Janey in anger, and why I could not. I told

her I never, ever wanted to strike either of them in

anger. I told her she was the light of my life, my

reason for being. I told Sally over and over that I

loved her, would always love her, regardless. I ranted

and raved, cried and wept until I could not, then I

simply sobbed, holding her hanging body in my arms,

until I could no longer find any hint of anger within

me.

Stepping back from her, I dropped the whip on the

ground, unused, having never lifted it against her. I

stepped up to her and thrust my iron hard prick into

her depths. She was not well lubricated, but not bone

dry, either. Yelling is not a particularly good form

of foreplay, regardless of its popularity. My entry

filled her, supported her and helped ease the stress on

her arms.

I had the sense to wait for her to secrete enough

fluids so that I wouldn't rip her apart when I moved.

She was whimpering softly behind her gag. I moved my

face next to hers as I felt her finally begin to

lubricate.

"Sally!" She opened her eyes.

I thrust in sharply. "I..."

I thrust again. "...am..."

And again. "...your..." This word was said with

particular emphasis.

Once more. "...Master!"

Her eyes widened a she heard what I was saying, and

understood why I was displeased with her. She had

submitted to another, a Mistress. She had been

exposed, vulnerable to another man. It was a habit,

she was a submissive. I was going to break her of

that, if at all possible. She was mine.

I repeated my emphatic message to her, one word per

stroke. And again. And again. Over and over I drove

that message into her. Her eyes never left mine, their

sadness at her failure to please me overwhelming. In

the end I shot my seed into her and held her tight.

After a time, my softening prick pulled free and I

heard the plop of dripping cum spattering on the cool

cellar floor. I'm not sure, but I don't think she

climaxed at all that night, even with the doped gag.

I left her hanging there all night, gagged, suffering,

unfulfilled. It was probably the only time in her life

she had had sex with a lover and didn't climax. Then

again, I hadn't entered her as a lover, but as a

Master. I lay down on one of the cots along the wall

close to her but out of her sight. I didn't sleep.

In the morning I let her down. Slowly, carefully I

helped her up to our bathroom and prepared a steaming

whirlpool. She refused to let me put her in until she

had prostrated herself at my feet. Her hand slipped up

to feel her neck, to see if my collar was still there.

She cried out in relief when she felt it was still

there.

"Master. You are my Master." She repeated that over

and over, sometimes sobbing, sometimes almost singing

it, as if to herself. She hugged herself to my feet.

Finally, I reached down and touched her collar. I

slipped my finger in between it and her neck. The

extra tension caused it to choke her, cutting off her

air and the blood flow. I lifted her to her feet, her

face to mine. She did not struggle.

"You are mine. Only mine."

She nodded, keeping her eyes to the floor.

"Sally? My Love?"

She looked up when I said her name. I think my voice

quivered. I know my hand was shaking. I drowned in

those beautiful eyes. Her gaze did not hold the terror

for me I had expected. To be honest, I wasn't sure

what I had expected to see in those sparkling green

eyes of hers. Hate? To be sure. Terror? Certainly.

Or maybe I'd see just a dull stare, an indication that

the life had been beaten out of her, her spirit broken.

I didn't expect to see what I saw: love, respect, hope.

Sure, a little fear and pain, but nothing like what I'd

expected. If I hadn't believed in the link thing

before, I did now. Only by her knowing my heart last

night could she have understood. I would probably

never know for sure, but then, she was full of

surprises. It was one of the main reasons I loved her

so deeply. It also made what I was going to say trite.

She already knew it before I voiced it.

I said it anyway. "You are forgiven. This incident is

forgotten." That being understood, I unlocked her

collar and took it off her neck. Her punishment and my

anger were behind us.

I helped her into the whirlpool. The hot, swirling

waters began the slow healing process that would last a

long time, long after the visible marks on her wrists

had faded.

Sally stayed in bed for two days. The experience had

exhausted her more than I realized. I pampered her,

tending to her heartaches and pains. Janey tried once

to help but Sally and I both refused her help. This

was my responsibility. I didn't keep them apart, as

she wasn't sick, so they chatted and talked, Janey

sitting on the end of the bed. Sally never mentioned

what they talked about, but I don't think it was about

what happened that night.

Sally and I talked, too. I think she finally

understood how scared I was of what she was becoming.

She admitted she didn't want to be the perfect slave,

it was just, well, so alluring. Several things had

gone on in her life lately that made the escape into

that life comforting to her. The attack on Janey was

not the first thing that had turned her life upside

down. The first thing that had happened was me. Her

feelings for me were so strong that they frightened

her. She had never felt like this before. As

frightened as I was of losing her, she was petrified I

would go away and leave her life empty of all meaning.

It was a new feeling for her, even at her age.

My introduction of bondage into the relationship during

the bet had thrown her for another loop. I hadn't

known what I was doing, really, but didn't mention

that. I had been desperate. Then she had lost the

bet. LOST! Not that she minded, given that she now

had my ring on her finger, or soon would, but it

planted a seed of doubt if she would be able to control

me later on. It had really rattled her, even though,

as the strength of my link grew, she realized how

focused and controlled I could be.

So it went. We talked, we cried, we made love. We

fucked savagely, the passions still raging in both of

us now. Our emotions were raw and open. In the end,

if you could call it that, we came to an understanding.

I was the Master. Sally would be, at all times, my

love. Only when the collar was on would I tolerate

submissive behavior in her, however. Without the

collar, she was commanded to act normal, my `old'

Sally. As twisted as this sounds, it worked for us.

She could be submissive to my wishes at all times, even

when not acting like it.

I didn't even pretend to understand.

Chapter 30

Time marched on. The weekly visits from Amud and Bala

resumed without further incident. Janey wore her

collar occasionally, even skipping some weekends she

was entitled to wear it. Her social life was picking

back up and she was just too busy to be tied up all

weekend, pun intended.

Sally started getting back to normal, too. Thank God!

Although I don't think Janey appreciated it. Getting

back to normal meant that she now had time to focus on

her daughter's life, not just her own submissiveness.

I heard the two of them more and more, chatting,

laughing, chiding and chaffing; just normal parent-

teenager stuff.

At one point Sally even enlisted my help. After her

last request for my help, she had tended to take things

having to do with Janey on herself, especially lately.

She seemed determined to show me that things were back

to normal. I just grinned and let her for the most

part, mainly because teenagers were aliens as far as I

was concerned, and the females of that species were as

perplexing as human females. It was also good for

Sally to know that she could do it herself.

This time, however, Sally was beyond herself. Janey

had been coming home late from school. Nothing unusual

so far, as she often had activities after school. Her

cheerleading coach had called and asked where Janey

was, as she had taken a leave from the squad for the

entire basketball season. Nothing surprising there,

given what had happened. Then there was her refusal to

tell Sally what was going on, why she was late. OK,

that was unusual, as were the tears and rips, crudely

mended, in some of her gym clothing. She was also

spending a lot of time in the whirlpool after school,

alone.

Nothing Sally did convinced Janey to talk. Threats,

promises, bribes to her friends, talks with the

teachers, nothing. It didn't sound too serious to me,

but to keep Sally happy, I decided to look into it.

Sally made me promise to be discrete. What? Me?

Heavy-handed?

It took several days, but I found out what Janey was

doing after school. I couldn't believe it, but she was

practicing with the boy's wrestling team. For a while

I thought she was just hanging around trying to get a

cute boy's attention - as if she needed to do that!

But she went through all the drills with the team, and

even scrimmaged with the others in her weight class.

She lost, but she didn't do badly. Like her mother,

she was a scrapper.

OK. I knew what. But why? No amount of digging

revealed that to me. I kept at it for several weeks,

during which time I didn't say a word to either of

them. Janey went to practice everyday and, as I

watched her covertly, got better, much better, to the

point where she finally won a spot on the roster.

The day the roster was posted, I was waiting for Janey

outside the girl's locker room door. Her expression

was priceless, much like a child caught with her hand

in the cookie jar, but not knowing how she was found

out.

"Uh, Hi, Dad. Just driving by?" she asked hopefully.

"Nope."

"Oh. Is everything OK at home? Did mom send you to

pick me up?" She tried to sound worried, but didn't

succeed.

"Nope."

"Oh." She was silent for while. "You know?"

"Yep."

"Does mom know?" I could tell she dreaded that for

some reason.

"Nope..."

Her head whipped up to look at me at that. Hope

flooded the car like a gully washer.

"...not yet."

"Oh, please Dad," she pleaded, "Don't tell her.

Please!"

"Tell me something, kiddo." I turned to look at her.

"Why?"

"Why what?"

"Why wrestling? Is it a guy? Don't we give you enough

affection at home? Why?"

Janey was so cute when she blushed and giggled. Damn,

she was beautiful! Who was I kidding? "Oh, Daaaad."

I felt like I finally belonged to that great and

honorable club of patriarchs. I had just exasperated

my teenager and been addressed in the proper fashion.

"Well?"

She looked at me, now thoroughly exasperated. I wanted

an answer from her and wasn't going to take a cutesy

blush as a diversion. It almost worked, though.

"It's hard to explain."

"Try me."

"It started as a dare."

Oh, shit. I shuddered when I remembered some of the

things I had heard about - and participated in - that

started out with a dare. old Mrs. Johnson would never

be the same after waking up with 25 naked and very

obviously horny teenaged boys in her bedroom. Well,

she was old to us. 25 is a lot older than 16...

"I see. Who dared you?"

"Well, that's where it's confusing. I guess I sort of

did myself. You see, there was this cute guy..."

I knew it!

"...and he was, well, there was an argument about how

tough wrestling was and that's how come there weren't

any girls on the team. I sort of got volunteered to

make the team if I could."

"Oh, a challenge, not a dare." I felt slightly better,

but not much. I remembered some challenges I had

participated in, too, mostly having to do with bare

chests at sub-zero temperature football games in

college.

"Yeah, I talked it over with the men's coach and he

said OK, as long as I had triple protection over my,

you know," she indicated her crotch, " and a double

strength athletic bra. I talked to the women's gym

teacher - she thought I was crazy - and she helped me

get all that stuff.

"You know, wrestling's tough!" she ended.

"But you made the roster for the next match! Aren't

you excited?"

"Geeze, Dad. What do you do? Know everything?"

"Only about the people I care about," I kidded.

"Seriously, your mom was concerned and asked me to look

into it. I did."

"It was nice to make the roster. I earned it, too.

But I'm not too thrilled about my first match. I have

to wrestle the defending State Champ, probably twice."

"Twice?"

"It's a double-elimination with four schools. You have

to lose twice to be out. I'm the only other one

entered in the weight class, so the rules say we have

to wrestle twice."

Something in her voice didn't sound right. "What's the

problem?"

"Oh, it's nothing. Just I heard when he found out he

might have to wrestle a girl, he made some pretty rude

comments about what he would do to me." She started to

cry, little tears trickling down her face.

"You want me to stop your match?"

She shook her head. "No. I know it must be strange

for him, you know? But why can't he just fight me like

a guy. I mean, I know I'm not a guy, but dang it Dad,

why are some guys such big assholes?"

Now, how often do you get `dang it' and `asshole' from

your little girl in the same sentence? She was

serious, too! It was, however, an eternal question. I

didn't know the answer, and knew if I said anything,

she would know I didn't know. I said nothing.

We drove home in silence her only request was that I

not let Sally know. I told her I couldn't promise to

do that. I felt it was her Mom's right to know about

this. But I told her I wouldn't spoil her match.

Friday night came. Janey didn't come home as it was an

away match at one of the other schools. I handed Sally

a big shopping bag and told her we were going out for

the evening. She started to open the bag, but I

stopped her. What was in the bag was for later.

It was unusual for us to go out, so she was excited. I

think she was curious when I headed for a small town

about 25 miles away and not our usual bistro. I kept

up a banal line of chatter for the hour drive, not

letting on what was up.

The fare at the local diner was a disappointment, but

the company was excellent. I think Sally felt the same

way too, but now she was more curious than ever. She

dropped hints, finally asking me point blank. I

ignored both the hints and the direct hints. As 7:30

approached I handed her the bag and told her she'd

better get ready.

Her face was a study in perplex ion as she pulled out a

big floppy hat, an over-sized pair of sunglasses and a

bulky shapeless overcoat. I had her put them all on -

she was surprised she got to keep her other clothes on,

I think - and we headed back to the car. She was even

more puzzled when we pulled into the crowded high

school parking lot. I don't know if she noticed the

big yellow bus from Janey's high school in the lot, but

I parked right next to it.

The gym was a cacophony of noise as we entered as the

early matches already underway. Behind her sunglasses

I could see her questioning eyes darting around trying

to discover what we were doing at a high school

wrestling match. I could tell to the millisecond when

she spotted Janey. I still have the bruises on my arm

to prove it.

"You knew what she was doing all along?"

"Kind of."

"Kind of? What the Hell does that mean?"

"Well, I knew what she was doing, just not why."

"Oh."

I was amazed to get away with that simple of an answer.

Sally knew my inquisitive nature. She knew of my

protective instincts and the honor code I lived by. If

Janey had asked me not to tell, I wouldn't, if I could.

I had known and that's all that mattered. If Janey had

been in trouble, I would have intervened. Sally had

asked for my help, after all.

"Well, you could at least have told me...."

I was going to hear about this for a long time, I could

tell.

They called Janey's match. It was painful to watch.

The kid she fought really was good, but, as she had

said, he was an asshole. He toyed with her. He never

quite did anything inappropriate, but I could tell

towards the end that the referees were beginning to

watch where he put his hands on her body. He pinned

her with 7 seconds remaining in the last period. Like

a trouper, Janey shook his hand - after his coach made

the asshole come back out onto the mat - then she made

her way back to her school's bench.

Her team did her proud. There were consoling "tough

match" comments and "he's a jerk" a couple of times.

They didn't treat her any differently than they would

another guy. She held her head up proudly. She had

fought hard, the best she could and she hadn't quit,

she had just been terribly out-classed by a better

athlete. I saw her shoulders start to slump forward in

despair, then pull back in fierce determination. She

wasn't going to quit now, either.

I looked over at Sally in her anonymous getup. Covered

up the way she was, Janey would never have to know she

had been here if we didn't tell her. She looked at me.

We nodded at the same time at the same thought. It was

time to intervene, a parent's prerogative. I was giddy

with excitement. My first parental intervention! OK,

not exactly giddy...

First thing I did was wander over to her coach. I got

his attention and introduced myself.

"Can you get her to forfeit the second match, Coach?"

He looked at me as if I was loony. "Janey? Quit? Are

we talking about the same kid here?"

I grinned back at him, "Just checking. Sometimes

teachers have more influence than adults at home."

"I could refuse to let her fight."

Grinning like an idiot, I shook my head. "Nah, I have

a better plan. This is what I want you to do..." He

nodded his head as he listened and even made a couple

of suggestions of his own when he saw where it was

headed.

Phase one completed, I initiated phase two. I

recruited another father of one of the kids on Janey's

team and took him with me. The coach had introduced us

and told him a little of the plan. I finished briefing

him as we made our way over to a spot behind the kid

she had just fought. We just stood there for a while

until the Emergency Medical Response Team showed up.

Someone had placed an anonymous call to their office.

"Thank God, they finally got here," I said loudly,

pointing them out. "I was really concerned about that

poor kid who had to fight that crazy girl. You

remember what happened the last time someone got her

mad, don't you?"

The other father chimed in, right on queue, "You mean

that poor bastard who lost his nuts when she kicked him

in the groin. I heard the surgeon said they looked

like applesauce."

"Yeah, that one. Well, at least the EMRT ambulance is

outside now. If there's another incident, maybe this

kid won't lose both balls."

The other father piped up again, "What do you mean

`if'? God, look at that girl kick! I tell you, she's

crazy when she's mad!"

Just then Janey was going through the unusual warm up

routine the coach had told her to do. She would

stutter step in a crouch like a linebacker, turning

around in a complete circle. When facing her opponent

across the gym, she would come out with a hoarse,

fierce sounding scream. Then, pointing her finger at

the kid, she kicked her leg as hard and high as she

could. She did this routine four or five times. On

the last couple of kicks, the upward force of her leg

flipped her over so that she landed on her stomach, a

three quarter backward somersault.

To say she had the attention of everyone in the

audience, including this poor kid, was to state the

obvious. Her last kick was spectacular. She did a

complete back flip, landing on her feet and ended up

facing the kid. Then with both index fingers pointed

at him, she screamed in mock rage. As a psych-out

move, it was very convincing, but still, I was counting

on the kid not being too bright.

I made my way back to Sally as they called Janey's

second match. As I sat down, she just shook her head,

shaking in laughter as Janey charged up to the mat.

She didn't look like a loser this time. The first

round started with them standing. The kid was still

cocky, but a little jumpy. He took Janey down easily

enough right away, but amazingly she escaped on her

own. She was pumped, too.

Just as she got free from him, she started that stutter

step routine she had been doing in her warm up, only

this time, instead of turning in a circle, she circled

him. In his attempt to keep her in front of him, he

turned with her. At one point he stumbled. It was the

opening she was looking for. At that moment when he

was off balance, she pointed at him, screamed a blood-

curdling war cry and started to bring her foot up off

the ground in a straight-legged kick.

The poor kid never knew what hit him, which was

nothing. He was so psyched out, he instinctively

slammed both of his hands over his family jewels and

screamed along with her. Janey changed the upward

movement of her kick and took him down with a basic leg

sweep. She had him pinned before he realized he was

still intact and unharmed. The referee and the

audience were still laughing when Janey leaned over and

kissed him on the forehead. Apparently, there is some

arcane rule about wrestlers kissing during a wrestling

meet, so even though she had won the second match,

Janey was disqualified from a third match. She didn't

care.

It was the only match the kid lost all season, and

everywhere he went later on that year, his opponents

would grab their balls and fall on the ground screaming

during their warm ups. I hope he learned something

from it all. He did show some potential as a human

being, because after the match he came over and

apologized to all of us, especially Janey, for his

behavior during their first fight. I think he even

asked her out, which she graciously turned down. The

lucky bastard did get another kiss out of it, though.

For us, it was the end of Janey's wrestling career, so

don't look for her on the WWF. It did change a couple

of things around the house, however. Watching Janey

practice with those guys made me realize she wasn't the

fragile little blossom I sometimes let myself believe.

I mean, I know girls and women are as tough as men,

maybe not always as strong, but they certainly are as

tough physically. Its just, well, I tend to try to

protect them from the hard things in life. Call it

macho if you will, but it seems to be an instinctual

type thing that's easy to fall into. That they - women

- often encourage that behavior doesn't help, either.

Anyway, I decided to take advantage of Janey's athletic

bent and started initiating more activities that

involved bodily contact, like one-on-one basketball,

rough-housing on rainy days, tag football with some

other fathers and daughters. Things like that. Non-

sexual solid body contact sports. We even got Sally

involved, and it became a regular family outing for us.

The other thing that changed was that the boys at her

school, having seen her attitude at the wrestling match

about the attack on her, suddenly decided she wouldn't

castrate them if they dated her. Our house became

Hormone Central in a short time, as her suitors hung

out. With all that energy sitting around wasting, I

started organizing 2-on-2 and 3-on-3 basketball games.

Soon, our house was the center of the pick-up games,

with Janey always playing. Other girls, jealous at

first, started coming over. When they saw they could

get a good feel of the guy's bodies for the price of

playing, they joined in. I've noticed it's hard to be

jealous and sweaty at the same time. Granted, there

was a lot more close man-to-man, so to speak, defense

going on than necessary during the games, but

occasionally the ball would be tossed in the general

direction of the hoop. I don't recall the kids ever

keeping score, however.

The kids even asked Sally and me to join in sometimes

to make even teams. Sally played hard and kind of

dirty, copping feels of the young guys every chance she

got. When the guys found that they could grab back

without her protesting, she became a regular. I

particularly liked it when I got to guard her. I was

sore for days from her elbows in my ribs and elsewhere,

but, God, the sex that night would be great.

That was the way things were going. Janey was well on

her way to recovery. I hoped I had played a small part

in that even if it was somewhat unorthodox. Sally

seemed happy and active. We kept some time reserved

for just us. She needed the submissive time now that

it was possible, and I came to treasure those days

almost as much as when she was `normal.' I began to

see `my' Sally in both sides of her, one merging with

the other. It came to be much less of a shock to me to

see her in her submissive role. As I became more

comfortable with that, those times together with her

being submissive became more frequent. Still not as

often as she liked, but I think she appreciated them

more when she had to wait.

Janey would join us most times, usually for a portion

of the evening. However, as there was always a strong

sexual content to these times, she would only be able

to participate to a certain point. Sometimes things

would get too intense for her, and she would ask to be

released from her collar, but later on I would have to

be the one to tell her to go. She was not voyeuristic,

mind you, she was an active participant in the

activities but I wasn't ready to have sexual

intercourse with her just yet.

She complained it was unfair to get her all hot and

bothered and then turn her out. I retorted that life

was unfair, so shove it or something else up there.

Not my best retort, but given the fact that I had her

Mom's permission to fuck her, and that I wanted to, and

that she wanted me to, I wasn't thinking all that

clearly. I just needed her out of the reach of my

throbbing cock before I started thinking with the wrong

head. We both knew it could still happen that we would

have sex. I just wanted to wait for exactly the right

time, and I didn't want her first time to be when she

was submissive. Or maybe I was just still afraid I

would lose Sally if I actually did it with Janey. I

usually ended up restraining her in her bed with some

of the Rosen's toys to keep her quiet, if not happy.

Chapter 31

During this time we had been ignoring the symphony

concerts for the most part. There had been other

concerts since that first one, but none by composers

either of us wanted to hear. The second major concert

of interest in the symphony season was at the mid-

point. This one had some pieces by one of my favorite

composers and I announced that we would be going. I

gave them two weeks notice.

Again, as before, the packages from The Guild began

arriving in sealed boxes shortly after my announcement.

Whether they wanted to go hear the concert or not, they

wanted to go just to see what was in the golden boxes.

The day of the concert started early. This time the

two women knew what to expect and they fully enjoyed

the pampering and primping that was done to them. By

the time the last technician was done, they were about

as on edge as I had seen them.

I smiled at Sally standing there in her short silk

robe. I handed her a set of headphones and a new CD

along with a steaming cup of her favorite tea.

Gleefully she curled up in the over-stuffed chair in my

office and went off into her own world. I could tell

she was curious about what I was going to do to Janey,

but she knew I treated the two of them differently.

I led Janey into her room. She was so excited I

thought she would burst. When I selected the first box

and handed it to her, she even squealed. Opening the

box she saw a jeweled collar similar to the one her mom
had worn to the first concert. She looked up at me,

eyes sparkling.

"I know you're curious about the other boxes, Janey,

but I thought you should know that the Collar Rules

will apply tonight. If you don't want to wear your

collar, that's perfectly OK. I want you to know that.

Half of these boxes are just in case you don't want to

wear it tonight."

"Do I still get to keep all the presents?" Typical

female.

"Yes," I grinned.

"Wow! Dad, it's beautiful!"

"So are you, Janey. I noticed you haven't been wearing

the collar every chance you get, and I just wanted to

make sure it's OK with you now."

"I was kind of looking forward to it, Sensei. These

nights are always so special, and," she grinned

impishly, "I don't just mean the presents. I was

hoping you'd think of it, too." With that, she slipped

to her knees and offered me the gift of her collar.

She must have been practicing with her mother, because

the gracefulness of her offering was exactly the same.

I fastened the collar and helped her stand.

I slipped off the silk robe she had on and stood back,

admiring her naked body. She was much more comfortable

with her nudity now, and reveled in my admiration of

her beauty. I went over and selected a second box, the

largest of the ones she would get tonight. She opened

it and gasped.

She pulled out an exquisite corset of deceptively

sturdy manufacture. It felt light as a feather, but I

had been reassured by the designers that the material

was strong and that there was no give in it.

Janey stepped into the garment and pulled it up. "Oh,

God!"

I grinned. I knew what she was thinking. It didn't

cover a thing. The top of the corset rested snuggly

under her youthful tits. The bottom barely touched the

top of her trimmed pubic patch.

I had her lean over, her arms braced on her vanity

table, while I cinched down her waist. As this was her

first corset, it wasn't as restrictive as the ones she

would be able to get into later, when her body had

adapted. I pulled the drawstrings as tight as they

would go, tied them off and then zipped up the heavy-

duty zipper. The zipper gave the garment a finished,

smooth look from the rear.

"Am I supposed to be able to breathe in this thing?"

she said, turning to me.

"Dunno," I grinned at her. "But who cares, really.

Look in the mirror and see what it does for your tits.

God, Cricket, you're beautiful!"

She turned, and saw what I meant. The gleam in her

eyes told me she liked what she saw, too. She ran her

hands up over her cinched waist and ended with them

cupping her breasts. Her eyes closed and she shuddered

as a minor tremor swept through her.

I pointed to the remaining boxes, kissed her lightly -

copping a feel or two as I did - and left to get her

mother ready.

I walked in a bit ahead of schedule. I took the

opportunity to drink in the beauty of my love. I

hadn't had much time lately to observe her unobserved.

Her eyes were closed as she listened to the music. Her

empty teacup was cradled in her hands. She looked very

happy.

She cracked one eye open when the CD was done. "That

was nice. Thank you, Master. I hope you didn't wait

long."

I grinned like a schoolboy at her sitting there. I

almost hated to ruin that picture, but there was more

to do tonight. I offered her my hand and she took it,

smiling back at me.

I led her to our room. I took her jeweled collar from

her jewelry box and handed it to her. Immediately she

knelt down and offered me her collar, which I locked

around her neck. I took her hand and helped her stand.

I left her standing there and went in to get Janey.

She was just finishing inserting all the Rosen's

gadgets. It still embarrassed her to have someone

watch her put them in, so I usually let her do it

herself. She looked flushed, the corset adding extra

pressure and making it harder for her to bend.

I took the last remaining items, a pair of high-heeled

boots made of the softest leather, and slipped them

onto her feet. I probably touched her more than was

necessary zipping them up, but she didn't protest.

From her moans and sighs, I would say just the

opposite. She just grinned at me when she saw how tall

the heels were. By now she knew of my penchant for my

ladies to wear very high heels, so these were not a

surprise to her. I helped her walk back to where Sally

was waiting.

"Oh, my!" was all Sally said when Janey appeared.

Sally looked around for her boxes and realized there

was only one on the bed. I picked it up and handed it

to her with a grand flourish. She tried not to look

hurt, but she didn't quite succeed. That all changed

when she opened it. She reached in and pulled out a

white leather riding crop. It was stiffer than any we

had in our collection.

I pulled a silk cord out of my pocket. I turned her

around and bound her wrists behind her back. I placed

the crop in her hands.

"Don't lose that, my Love, or there will be Hell to

pay."

While she was standing I had her stand with her legs

about shoulder width apart. I personally inserted the

Rosen's little devices in her. Sally didn't like them

as much as Janey, she said they took too much control

from her. They made her feel too good and they

frightened her. She was trembling when I finished

securing the earring posts through her pierced ears. I

sat her down and slipped a pair of hose on her legs,

then a pair of extremely high heels. She was flushed

and radiant.

I took another cord from my pocket and motioned for

Janey to turn around. I tied her wrists together as

well, and led both of them to the front door. There I

placed the green cape around Sally's nude form and

snapped the closures down the front. I pulled out

another blue cape for Janey and slipped it around her

shoulders.

The limo was waiting, so we exited the house and drove

to the concert hall. I made sure we had the same

excellent driver. Since Janey was not my `date' this

evening, both my slaves had `equal' status. I quickly

realized that both were very greedy when it came to

having possession of my cock in their mouth. It became

a near ugly contest very quickly, with Janey holding

her own.

I pulled Sally to me and kissed her deeply. As I

expected, Janey swooped down and took possession of my

swollen prick. "Let the youth do the work, dearest," I

whispered to her alone. Sally giggled as I slipped my

hand inside her cape and took possession of one of her

fine breasts. We made out like teenagers for the rest

of the trip.

The driver gave us the two-minute warning by flicking

the dome lights as she approached the concert hall. As

mine were the only hands free, I closed up my fly.

Janey actually groaned as it disappeared.

I helped both women out of the car, much to Sally's

surprise. She started to walk behind me, as she had at

the first concert, but I would have none of that. I

took both of them by their cape-covered elbows and

guided them up the steps and to our box seats.

The arrangements were similar to last time, but there

was only one chair flanked on both sides by padded

prayer benches for the girls to kneel upon.

As I settled them onto their knees I held the remote

controls that ran their devices where they could see

them. As I pushed each button, I showed them. By the

second button they knew what to expect and their eyes

got wider as I methodically turned on each device they

were wearing to a moderate level.

Sally was sweating immediately and, after seeking my

permission with a questioning look, gasped through the

first of her many climaxes that night. I knew they

didn't really appreciate my favorite music, but maybe

in time they would learn to have whole new appreciation

for it. It would certainly be fun to try.

As the orchestra finished its tuning and warm ups, I

leaned back and prepared to enjoy the music. I nudged

the remotes up as the first bombastic notes filled the

concert hall. I don't think either Janey or Sally

heard a single note. I nudged the remotes up another

notch as each selection began. Sally groaned with a

mixture of terror and pleasure as each piece ended.

Janey just knelt there, a glazed look of bliss on her

face. I could sense she was riding wave after wave of

pleasure. She wasn't fighting it like her mom was and

her enjoyment was palpable.

Intermission came and I turned their units off. They

needed a break. Janey wasn't pleased with the absence

of the stimulation, but grinned at me after her little

pout. I helped her to her feet, then turned to help

Sally stand. Janey wandered towards the front of the

box and was looking down over the audience. I was

embracing Sally, feeling her fabulous ass beneath her

cape.

Suddenly, it was like a flash of lightning stuck both

Sally and I. We looked at each other, then turned to

Janey. She was ashen and swaying like she was going to

fall. Her eyes were fixed on a point down below us.

I sat Sally down on her bench, then went calmly over to

Janey. I helped her back from the edge of the box and

sat her in my chair, away from the prying eyes below.

There was no need to look at what had frightened her.

I knew without looking. Sally knew. I looked just to

be sure. I was right.

Gary was back in town.

Chapter 32

When Janey was seated, I went back to the edge of the

box. I motioned for Sally to come up behind me, to use

my body as shield from being seen by anyone below us

who happened to look up. She understood and stood just

off my shoulder.

Gary was not hard to pick out. He, too, had two

beautiful women with him. They were as dark and tan as

Sally and Janey were blonde and fair. Upon closer

inspection, one was much younger than the other.

Another mother-daughter pair, I bet myself.

"I-I-I know her," came the quiet voice from behind me.

Janey had come up and stood, like her mother, behind

me, using my body as a shield. "She's new to my

school, a year younger. She has an accent."

I watched him. He was cocky, confident, and sure of

himself. He obviously dominated the older female and

enjoyed terrorizing her by fondling the younger woman

in public. His hands roamed the young girl's body

freely and nearly obscenely, causing more than one

matronly gasp from the staid bystanders. The mother
stood meekly, eyes pleading. Strangely, the daughter
was passive, not reacting at all, as if she were a

mannequin.

I don't know what it was or if we all came to the same

conclusion at once, but one moment I was standing there

despising that man and the next I was on the telephone.

I set in motion an information machine I hadn't often

used since I left the government's service. It would

take a few hours, but by then I would know all there

was to know about the man named `Gary'.

We left at the beginning of the second set. I called

the driver as we left the box. The car was waiting as

we exited the building, the driver holding open the

rear door. The drive home was silent and uneventful,

each of us lost in our own thoughts. Janey revived

sooner than Sally and I soon felt her steamy mouth

capture the head of my cock as she knelt down at my

feet. I caressed her smooth cheek as she lay her head

on my lap.

Her playfulness remained as we returned home. I'm not

sure if that was because she remembered my promise from

the last time or if she just figured that if both Sally

and myself were worried about Gary, she didn't need to

be. With both of us on the case, it was bound to turn

out right, right? Ah, the innocent trust of the na‹ve.

Inside the door, I relieved both of them of their

capes, exposing their beautiful bodies to my gaze. I

took the crop from Sally's hands and playfully swatted

her naked charms, teasing her with light to moderate

snaps on her very sensitive areas. She started to move

around the room and I followed her, finally finessing

her down the hallway and into our bedroom. There I

delivered a couple of harder swats to her ass, raising

her temperature several degrees. I laid the crop on

the makeup bench and turned her to me. Her eyes were

snapping, all thoughts of that ugly man pushed to the

side.

I made her kneel in front of that bench and face the

crop. Her hands were still tied behind her. "Stay

here, please," I asked/ordered her. Then I left the

room

Janey was waiting impatiently, shifting from one booted

foot to the other. She was not facing the door I came

through so I was able to watch for several minutes

before she turned and saw me looking at her. Unlike

her mother, Janey blushed a deep, deep shade of red as

she realized I had just been standing there looking at

her nakedness. It made her seem all that more innocent

and alluring.

I took her elbow and led her to her own room. She got

suddenly shy and lagged a bit behind. I stopped

leading her and quietly took her and held her in my

arms.

"Afraid?"

She shook her head.

"What, then?"

"I don't know. I, I just don't know if I'm ready for

this."

"Ready for what?" I teased.

"You know, for- for- it."

"Oh."

She was silent for a while, then with all the

enthusiasm of a kid who hadn't studied for an exam she

was about to take, led me into her room. She lay down

on her bed and awkwardly spread her legs. God, she was

beautiful!

"Now what?" I asked her.

"Huh?"

"Now what?" I repeated.

"Aren't you going to, you know, do me now?"

"No."

She looked stunned, then slowly closed her legs in

embarrassment. "No?"

"No."

"But you promised. You said..."

"I said that next time it was your turn." I sat down

on the bed next to her.

"Right. I thought..."

"Cricket? Who's in charge here?"

Her slave name brought her up short. "Oh. Right. You

are, Sensei."

She lay in shivering disappointment as I removed the

various gadgets from her. Tears began flowing silently

as I unzipped and removed her soft leather boots. It

wasn't until I had her second wrist secured to her

headboard by the straps I had installed earlier that

she realized that something was going to happen. She

almost choked on her sob of relief.

I waited until she was breathing normally then patted

her on her legs, indicating for her to spread them

again. This was a touchy time. The last time someone

had been between them had been traumatic for her. I

wondered if she would do it.

It took her a little time, but she did, smiling bravely

up at me, offering me open access to her most private

areas. I moved between her spread legs and knelt

between them. I caressed the smooth skin of her thighs

gently. I could feel her fear and I almost pulled

back. I don't know why I kept on, but I did. I guess

I didn't want to waste her courage, to mock it.

"Now it's your turn, Cricket," I said softly as I bowed

my head and kissed that softest of skin on the inside

of her thighs. Nothing more was said as I proceeded to

bring her to heretofore unknown heights of ecstasy

using only my tongue. She was screaming and thrashing

her blonde tresses as she came over and over.

I started to remove her corset when she was sated, but

she shook her head `no', pleading with her eyes. I

silently nodded my assent, then inserted into her cunt
and asshole the larger sized appliances that had been

custom made for her by the Rosen's. The diabolical

ones. The ones that plugged into the wall and didn't

wear down.

I tied her ankles to the footboard and left her

corseted and spread-eagled for the night. She wouldn't

get much sleep. I had programmed those big vibrators

for `simmer.' They would monitor her biofeedback and

keep her at a fever pitch until they were turned off.

About once an hour they would let her go over the edge,

then they would keep her at that higher level until the

next push to the next level. By morning she should be

nearly crazy. Of course, she could get loose with a

stiff pull, but she wouldn't do it. I turned my

attention to my next task, my love.

Sally was weeping silently as I came in the room. I

knew she was as unsure as I was of what she had asked

me to do with Janey. I opened my fly and pushed my

dick under her nose.

"Taste."

She did, hesitantly. She wasn't sure if I was rubbing

it in or what. She jerked her head up in amazement as

she realized she didn't taste cunt juice.

I leaned down to kiss her. "Taste," I said, smiling

gently.

She kissed me gently, then, with the tip of her tongue,

tasted her daughter's juices on my face.

"Forgive me, Master, for doubting you."

"You're forgiven. But I'm still going to use the crop

on you tonight," I said with a wicked grin on my face.

Sally gasped at that reminder. I thought she got a

little paler, too. As much as she sought the pain and

submission, she still feared my inexperience. I hoped

tonight would help her get over that fear.

I helped her kneel in front of the bench with it

touching her ass. I then bent her backwards over the

bench as she had been that first night. This time,

however, I tied her wrists to her ankles under the

bench. Her tits were prominently offered to my whims,

as was her defenseless twat.

I started lightly, teasing the tips of her tits,

flicking it with the end of the white crop, caressing

them, almost. I laid a couple of light strokes quickly

across her taut belly, warming the flesh there. Then I

worked her shoulders to a ruddy glow, avoiding the

super sensitive neck areas. Still, the numerous blows

tantalizingly close to her face and neck made her

shudder. Slowly, as I worked the tensions and pain and

pleasure in her higher and higher, she realized I had

not misplaced one single blow with the dangerous

weapon. I felt her fears relax as she gave herself up

to the pain and pleasure.

I led her down the path she desired, wringing cry after

heart wrenching cry from her. Still she wanted more

and harder from me. Her tits were blazing red, a mass

of mottled color, but without a single welt or drop of

blood. When she was maxed out and could go no higher,

I stepped in front of her and with a vicious but

calculated blow, I brought the crop up between her

thighs to land on her swollen and throbbing cunt lips.

I thought she was going to break her back. I had been

chasing and stirring the lights of her aura, teasing

her and arousing her with the pain she sought. But

this was like a super nova. I had never seen so bright

a light from either her or Janey's auras. I played the

crop off the sides of her inner thighs, as close to her

crotch as I could get. I teased her with the pain,

then I would deluge her with it. She slipped into a

state of mind I don't think she knew existed. She was

far beyond the singing stage that Bala talked about.

If I could not have seen her aura to help her, to watch

her, I would have been terrified for her. As it was, I

was able to sense her needs and guide her as she

existed on that sensual plateau. Later, I lay beside

her in bed as she dreamed, or whatever she did. She

was so relaxed, yet so energized. I drifted off to

sleep, Sally cradled in my arms.

I woke later to find her watching me with quiet eyes.

There was no fear anymore, only love. I was her

Master. I tossed and turned for the rest of the night,

troubled by dark thoughts. I felt Sally's cool touch

trying to sooth me.

I must have drifted off sometime during that short

night, as I woke up alone, the first time in a long

time. I remembered why I didn't like it. I also

missed my morning blowjob by Janey, too, but then I

remembered I had left her tied to her bed. Guess I

couldn't blame her for not getting up, huh? Still, I

wondered where Sally was.

I shaved and showered, again alone, so I finished in a

lot less time. I missed shaving Sally. She was so

appreciative of my attentions afterwards. I don't know

which of us enjoyed doing that more.

I dressed and wandered into the kitchen. I was

surprised to see Janey up and about, dressed and perky.

After the night she must have had, I was amazed she

could walk, but I guess they are right when they say

that `youth is wasted on the young.' She saw me come

into the kitchen and her smile lit up the room. I

caught her flying body in my arms as she threw herself

at me.

"Ooooooh, thank you, Daddy!"

"I take it you had a good time?"

"Oh, God! I didn't know it could be so good! I mean,

I've felt a little bit of it when you and Mom, uh, do

stuff, but - Wow! Oh, yeah, speaking of Mom, what in

the Hell did you do to her last night?"

"What do you mean?"

"Well, it's like I was feeling great, you know, and

then WHAMO, this tidal wave comes over the link, but it

doesn't stop. It just kept coming and coming." She

giggled at her pun. "But it didn't surge like usual,

it just flowed, but not a lot. It's hard to describe."

I kissed her on the nose and gave her my Cheshire cat
grin.

"Oh, not going to tell me, huh?" she teased back.

Then, seriously, "That's OK, Dad. She is incredibly

happy. I enjoyed what we did, too," she blushed, "not

just the licking part - but that was great! - but I

liked wearing the corset and being tied up, too. It

was a weird feeling, good, though. I didn't think I

would like it, but I kind of, well, like, felt secure

in it. I mean, I was as good as naked, but it felt

good, not naughty."

"Well, you certainly looked naughty. Lusciously,

deliciously naughty," I joked.

She giggled, then got serious again. It looked like

that was the way the morning was going. "I don't think

I'm ready for what you did to Mom," she said quietly.

"You don't know what I did, though, do you?"

"No, that's not what I mean. I meant I'm not sure I

could handle how mom felt. I don't know I would want

to come back down. She's stronger than I am that way."

I hugged her even closer. "Just say the word and I

will stop whatever it is you don't like or whatever it

is you're afraid of, even if it's that you're afraid it

is too good. I almost didn't do anything last night,

you know. You were so scared, but so brave. I'm proud

of you, kiddo."

This time it was her turn not to answer. She snuggled

into my chest.

"Where is your Mom, by the way?"

"She left about an hour ago, just after she let me up.

I didn't want her to but she was really serious. I

wouldn't let her take off my collar, though. What's

going on? She wouldn't tell me anything. She made a

telephone call, then rushed out."

I reached behind her head and unsnapped her slave

collar for her. She sighed as I slipped it into my

pocket. We stood for a long time that way, a father
and daughter. I could almost have believed we were a

normal family, until I felt her tiny hand wend its way

down to my jeans and unzip my fly.

"You didn't, uh, get any relief at all last night, did

you, Dad." It was a statement.

"Guy's won't explode if they don't cum, Janey.

Regardless of what your boyfriends tell you."

"Daaad! I don't have a boyfriend," she protested, a

bit too strongly, I thought.

"Well, last night was for you and your Mom. I can

wait."

"Well, this morning is for you," she quipped, as she

wiggled out of my arms and down to her knees. She

latched on to my cock with the full force of her mouth

and began seriously sucking and bobbing. Even though

she had been doing this on a daily basis, with her

nearly naked and in my bed, this blowjob seemed sexier

than any she had ever given me, with the exception of

the first one. This time both she and I were fully

clothed, and in the kitchen. It was somehow highly

erotic, highly charged. I held off as long as I could,

but I blew into that luscious mouth in much too short a

time. Janey didn't stop with one load, though. She

seemed determined to drain me of all the excess build-

up from last night.

Sally came in carrying a heavy canvas bag while her

daughter was still busy on her knees. She stopped and

looked at us and gave me a wry grin. "Damn, I wanted

to say `thank you' first. She beat me to it."

"Uh, I think there'll be more when she's done, Love," I

grinned back. I was amazed there was no jealousy

between them. "I missed you this morning."

She looked appalled, as if she had made a serious

miscalculation by leaving. "I, uh, I just, I..."

"It's OK, Love. I didn't mean anything by that. I

just missed you and our time together. I wanted you to

know."

She got all teary eyed and blubbery on me. For the

second time that morning I had to catch a launched

body, only this time I had a hot sucking mouth attached

to my groin that hampered me. I managed.

Sally smothered my face and chest with kisses. Then

proceeded south. I don't know how she managed to

dislodge Janey from her possessive sucking, but soon I

recognized Sally's talented mouth on my shaft. I

cracked open my eyes and saw Janey standing there,

grinning at me.

"Feel better, now, Pops?"

"Pops?"

"Yeah! You shot off so quick this time, like you just

`popped', you know? So... Pops!" She giggled at my

responding growl.

I maneuvered my butt over to a chair and settled in it.

With Sally on her knees, Janey busied herself with

breakfast. No fancy cooking today. Today it was dry

toast and yogurt. Only by wheedling could I get her to

make the coffee.

Sally swallowed, then stood up. She still looked

weepy. I guess she was still being whipsawed by the

emotions from last night. She settled on my lap after

carefully putting away my softening cock. She fed me

breakfast as I held her. I could tell she needed to be

held. But there was something else, too. She wasn't

normally this serious.

Janey cleared the breakfast mess and we sat together in

silence. When the last coffee was gone, Sally got up

and lifted the heavy canvas bag onto the table.

Unzipping it, she proceeded to set out two semi-

automatic rifles, two very large caliber pistols and

several dozen boxes of ammunitions for each. Talk

about breaking the mood!

"Done a little shopping, have you?" I quipped.

"You're going to be gone." Damn that woman! How the

hell did she know? I know for a fact I did not talk in

my sleep. How?

"Only a couple of days."

"He was too confident last night." She was referring

to that cocky son-of-a-bitch, Gary.

"I noticed. You want to tell me exactly what you said

to him to get him to leave?"

"Shit!"

We both turned to face Janey, who never used language

like that. I raised my eyebrows in an unspoken

question to her.

"You're talking about him, right? Gary?" We nodded.

"God, I remember that night, what happened. I must

have only been, what, 11? Anyway, she didn't say

anything to him, Dad."

"Nothing?"

"Nope. Not a word. But we were patching bullet holes

in the walls for months. She must have shot a hundred

times."

I turned to Sally. "I thought you said you couldn't

shoot?"

Janey chimed in before Sally could speak. "Oh, she can

shoot. She just can't hit anything. She missed the

bastard ..."

"Janey! Watch your language!"

"...every single time, except the last one that blew up

his car. And you called him a `bastard' yourself, Mom,

along with some other choice names."

I sat in stunned silence. It takes incredible talent

to miss that many times at such close range. I had

seen her shoot. I had suspected she was too good to

have been a novice, even if she had screwed up with the

safety on my gun. My pistol was an unusual model, so

she may not have known where it was or how it operated.

Regardless, I knew what it was like to be shot at. I

knew why Gary had stayed away. Up until now.

That didn't tell me why he was back. Or if he had

plans for Sally and Janey. He may have seen Janey's

picture on tv after the attack. It could have stirred

old feelings of revenge. I didn't know. I just knew

there was some unfinished business and I hated loose

ends. I had to tie things up.

I looked at the weaponry spread out on the table.

Sally had selected well, if she was going to stop an

elephant. Or an enraged man. I also didn't think she

intended to miss this time. I didn't intend to let it

get that far.

I knew what it was to kill a man, what it did to you

inside. In the course of my agency work, I had had to

learn to kill. I had done it very well. Too well, for

my taste, even if the targets had deserved it.

Something dies inside of you each time you take a life,

though, and there had been many times. Too many, but

even once was too many when it came to killing - or

dying. I did not want that to happen to Sally or, God

forbid, Janey. I, myself, would avoid doing it again

if I could. If I couldn't, well, that was a bridge to

cross when I came to it.

"You can't stay here. He knows the house too well."

"I was going to take Janey to Mac and CeCe's place for

a while."

I thought about that. "Mac's out of town for a series

in Seattle. CeCe works all over the area and couldn't

be there all the time. I'd rather you go stay with

Marion, my sister. She's just moved back into our

folk's house and has plenty of room. Her court isn't

in session right now and I know she'd love the

company."

"I don't know her that well."

"My point exactly. Neither does Gary. He may know

about your relationship to CeCe."

"Oh. Right. OK. Will she be OK with those?" She

indicated the guns.

I grinned. "She can probably train you how to field

strip them, although something tells me you know how

already. There's a target range in the second

basement, too. Oh, and have her show you her assault

weapons collection."

"I thought she was a Federal Judge! Aren't those kinds

of guns illegal?"

"Yeah, but they only get really excited when you wave

them around on the White House lawn. Some of them in

the collection are mine, too." She looked at me even

more shocked. "What, I can't have some toys...?" I

asked in mock exasperation.

After that there wasn't much to say. Sally and Janey

packed and left. Just before they drove off, Sally

hugged me goodbye.

"Be careful, Larry. Janey's right. He is a bastard.

A ruthless and dangerous bastard"

Janey just squeezed me like she never wanted to let go.

I felt the same way, but things had to be finished. I

couldn't let that unknown threat stay out there. I had

to at least know what the man was like.

When they were gone I made my way to a nondescript

building in the center of town. Most towns have one of

these quiet structures, those buildings that look like

offices, generally close to the municipal offices, but

no one actually knows anybody who works there. They

may have the first floor or two occupied by small shops

to make the building look occupied, but the buttons to

the upper floors are disabled or missing in the

elevators.

The entry to the upper floors in this building was

restricted to the underground garage, another part of

the structure most people didn't remember being built.

The entry to the garage was two blocks over, through

the restricted parking garage under the city hall, so

the general public never saw it. Most city employees

were too dull to notice the extra cars disappear

through that locked automatic garage door on the second

level. The ones who weren't were too smart to ask

questions.

Stepping off the elevator on the top floor of that

building, I slid my ID into the reader. I underwent a

retinal scan, a voice scan and had my fingerprints

checked. It always amazed me how much detailed

information the government had and to what extent it

went to hide that knowledge from the public. And all

this happened in what was supposed to be a so-called

democracy. If the public had even the smallest clue

exactly how much their government knew about them, they

would tear it down, brick by brick. I used to think it

was the price we paid for our freedom. Now I wasn't so

sure. Those nagging unanswered questions were the main

reason I was no longer active for the agency.

I still had full access, however. They liked me. I

had done well for them, and never screwed up, e.g., got

caught. I also knew where too many bodies were buried,

literally.

Our local analyst had just finished with the

information I had asked for. He looked up at me as I

came through the heavy metal door and grinned.

"Interesting case," was all he said.

That got my attention immediately. Most Americans,

99.99% of them anyway, live humdrum, mundane lives,

those `lives of quiet desperation'. They are

uneducated, unmotivated, apathetic, lazy, boring, bland

or any combination thereof, yet corporately, they have

been capable of achieving some of the greatest feats in

history, when properly aroused. Our current government

felt it was their sacred duty to keep the people from

becoming motivated to any action, whatsoever.

The analysts for the agency had seen it all. If agents

like me were the legs of the agency, the analysts were

the brains. They spent most of their waking hours

looking at trivial, seemingly unrelated data points and

finding critical patterns. From those patterns emerged

their best guesses. Some of them were able to make

very good guesses about the behavior of certain types

of people.

Our analyst was one of the best. We had worked

together before and kidded each other good-naturedly.

I accused him about being a closet voyeur and he was

always asking me to introduce him to my ex-girlfriends.

We never saw each other socially, however. It just

wasn't done. I think he grudgingly admired some of the

work I had done, or had been able to accomplish based

on his work, as he put it. What these guys never

admitted to was being surprised. So, for a case to be

`interesting' to him meant that Gary was different. To

me, that meant he was dangerous, unpredictable.

He handed me a surprisingly thin file. I took it to a

secure office and locked myself in. I would have to

give him back the exact same file before I could leave

the floor. Security was really tight and I didn't

object.

The file on Gary was interesting. I reviewed his file,

always with the awareness that there could be some

critical piece of information that was missing,

something that the government just didn't know. Nobody

could know everything. I looked through the list of

his known girlfriends and the dates they had been

together. I saw Sally's name and cringed. That would

cross-link back to my file. I would have to be extra

careful that, if anything terminal happened, it

couldn't be traced back to me.

While he had been with Sally for a long time, there

were a number of others he had also seen during that

same time period. He had two-timed her. I saw that

pattern run throughout his relationships. One steady

girl, a lot of flings.

One of the other names I recognized, or thought I did,

and it brought me up short. A name from my past. I

got a sinking feeling in my gut. This girl was the

daughter of a friend of mine from Chile. I remembered

her as a high-spirited wisp of a girl, determined to

make it in a man's world and totally unprepared for the

consequences. Not exactly spoiled, but naively unaware

of the evils of poverty and the depravity of which

mankind was capable. Juan Miguel had protected his

daughter too well.

She had run away from his loving home, come to New

York, and then after a couple of months had gone

missing. I was in Chile when she had disappeared,

working with him. I owed him my life, in fact, but

that's another story. He had been distraught when she

ran away, especially to New York, but she was a

headstrong girl. Her subsequent disappearance had

devastated him. She called herself `Miki' and

pronounced it like the shoe company `Nike.'

I found the specific piece of information I was looking

for buried in a list of his assets, hidden under an

assumed name. He had used several aliases, which

didn't surprise me. That he used them as well as he

did, did. Most people get clumsy and screw up. He

didn't. He was too good to be lucky. Gary had been

trained, and by a top group, too, was my guess.

When I handed the file back to the analyst, I pointed

out the list of known associates. I knew several of

them, fellow agents or agents with other agencies. "Is

he one of us?"

He grinned at me, always seemingly amused that I could

think. "Not that I could tell. I looked as deep as I

could, and that's pretty deep. Hell, I can get your

file. The good one, your operations file."

I was impressed. I couldn't even see that file. "Any

chance he's deeper?"

"Not with his profile. He's interesting, but, well, we

know just a little bit too much about him. If he were

any deeper than you were, we wouldn't know anything.

Hell, your file is only two pages long and most of that

is what you told me!" He grinned wryly. "I haven't

gotten around to entering some of it, you know. Just

too busy. Of course, if I had a nice lady to go home

to, I would be even busier..." he tailed off, hinting.

I looked up at him sharply. He knew about Sally. I

had mentioned her to him several times, especially

since I was living with her now and had to let him know

where he could reach me in an emergency. He paled at

my look and knew he had tread too close to blackmail to

suit me.

"Damn, Sampson, you know I'm joking," he blustered

lamely. "Besides, they already know about her," he

added softly. "They are really insistent about knowing

everything about you, you know." He glanced around to

see who could overhear us. "I shouldn't even tell you

that, though."

"I know. This one just hits too close to home. For a

couple of reasons. But I'm a little touchy about

Sally."

"Yeah. I saw that when that bastard spoiled brat of a

jock raped her daughter. He got off lucky only losing

one ball." His voice was venomous. "What exactly did

you do to get rid of all that media?"

"You don't know?"

"I tried like the devil, but corporate lawyers are the

hardest bunch to crack for information. We still

haven't got a clue."

I told him what I had done, about the letter, the

threat.

He just chuckled. "Damn, you play hard ball."

From him, I took it as a compliment.

The key piece of information I had found in Gary's file

was an address. Not just any address. It was an

address in a middle class residential part of town.

One of the biggest secrets the government doesn't want

you to know is that the greatest threat to the security

of America resides in the vast middle class

neighborhoods. Not from any of the middle class

Americans who live there, but from the enormity of the

apathy that does. No one cares who lives next door as

long as they mow the grass, don't make noise at night,

don't park clunkers on their lawns and above all, don't

lower the property values. No one knows who lives next

door to them, either. You could deliver an atom bomb

and then hide it in a basement in suburbia. No one

would know. No one would have a clue.

That's what I found here. Gary had discovered the

anonymity of suburbia. I had asked Sally if Gary had

ever taken her to his place for a party or anything.

She had said no, only her place, hotels or sleazy bars.

Towards the end, she said, he had been hinting that

they could do more bondage stuff at his special place

full time, but kept implying that Janey was a problem.

He had kept trying to get her to pull Janey out of

school and home school her. Sally had refused,

insisting that Janey needed the social interaction.

But he had never taken her anywhere that might have

been his safe house.

I was impressed when I drove by the house. He could

have qualified to entertain the president with the high

level of security he had installed. None of it was

classified that I could tell, as it was all

commercially available - at a hefty price, too. As it

was, it was almost a challenge for me to break in

undetected later that night. Almost. It was good. I

was better. It made me wonder what he had to hide that

was worth what that setup must have cost him.

I was sickened when I found out his dirty little

secret. With all the external security he had

installed, he didn't feel he needed a safe. It

wouldn't have done him much good, anyway, so he

probably saved himself some bucks. The bastard was

meticulous, all the photos and videos were neatly

labeled and dated. There were several files of photos

and videos labeled `Sally' with dates that corresponded

with the time they were together. There was also one

video cassette labeled `Miki.' My guts were in a

twisted knot as I slipped that one into the VCR. I

dreaded what I would find, but even I was unprepared

for the brutality of the film.

Miki, beautiful, proud, brave Miki was tied to a bed.

The film showed Gary talking to her, telling her that

he just wanted one more thing from her and then he

would let her go. He wanted to make a film with her.

She spit in his face. He slapped her. She spit at him

again. He hit her. Back and forth. He got tired

first, but they were both covered with her blood and

spittle when he quit hitting her.

He kept a knife at her throat as he released her

wrists, then handcuffed them in front of her. The next

scene showed her dangling from her cuffed wrists, her

beautiful face swollen and bleeding, but still

recognizable. He approached her with a heavy-duty

cattle prod. She was screaming in pain, swearing in

Spanish at him. Then he cut her intentionally with his

big knife. Badly, across her face. A look of horror

and realization flooded her proud eyes. As protected

as she had been from the seamy side of life, she still

knew what kind of film she was going to be the star of.

To her credit, she refused to cooperate with the

bastard.

From that point on in the movie, she made no sound,

made no movement at all that wasn't literally forced

out of her body. Oh, he could still get her to twitch

with the cattle prod and moan when he cut her, but for

all practical purposes she was a slab of beef swaying

on a meat hook. Then, just as I was about as sickened

as I could get, she mustered her waning strength. In a

clear voice that would have done her father proud, she

turned her face and spoke to the camera.

"My name is Madonna Micheala Lucinda Carmalita de la

Fernando. The souls of those buried here around me are

crying out for vengeance. I swear upon their souls and

the soul of my sainted mother that my father, Senor

Juan Miguel de la Fernando, will hunt you to the ends

of the earth and bring you to justice." It had taken

all of her strength to say that, and from then on she

just hung there.

I sat there in the darkened house, stunned into

immobility as I watched him callously finish her off,

but her final haunting words gave me the structure of a

plan. Before I left, I checked out the rest of the

house. I found the room in which the film had been

made. It was the only room in the basement with a

solid floor. The rest of the basement flooring had

been removed, leaving only dirt. I looked over the

rows of mounds of dirt laid out in an orderly fashion.

Dozens of graves. One was Miki's. One might have been

Sally's. I vomited and left, taking the several videos
of Sally and the one of Miki, as well as the two thick
files with their photographs with me. Fuck the rules

of tampering with evidence. There was more than enough

evidence that I left behind. Even Clinton would have

had a hard time denying this one.

I called Juan Miguel the next day. It was one of the

hardest telephone calls I had ever had to make. I told

him straight out I had found what had happened to Miki.

And I had proof who did it. Would he like to see the

proof? I cautioned him it was the worst thing I had

ever seen. He knew I had been in some tough situations

and that I had seen a lot of the worst the human race

had to offer.

My bluntness seemed to stir him to life. He wanted to

see it. I over-nighted it to him. He called me back

the next day after viewing the tape. He wanted

revenge.

Now that I had his cooperation, over the next couple of

days, it wasn't hard to get Gary to cooperate with my

plan. He had one Achilles heel, and that was he needed

money to maintain his lifestyle and his image. A lot

of money. A friend of a friend of a friend told him of

a lucrative opportunity in Santiago, Chile. His friend

told Gary that he would do this himself, but that hands

were full, etc., etc., but if Gary wanted to go down

and shepherd this deal through, this big South American

honcho would cut him in for a stiff percentage. Just

go down, bring back a fugitive for someone who couldn't

enter Chile for political reasons and so on. In other

words, a political kidnapping. Just the kind of thing

to hook a guy who hung around with black ops guys, a

`wanna be.' Gary fell for it hook, line and sinker.

I told Juan Miguel that Gary would be down the day

after next and which flight he would be on. I had Gary

shadowed by someone Juan Miguel knew, insurance that

Gary would arrive in Santiago and also to act as a

Judas to point him out to Juan Miguel's agents. When I

told the shadow, an acquaintance, what was going on he

did it gratis.

When the shadow reported back three weeks later, I was

pleased to hear that Juan Miguel had not blown Gary

away in the airport. I'm sure he was tempted to, but

he was a better man than that. A beautiful servant

girl had met Gary at the airport. He was ushered to a

waiting limo and then leisurely driven to a hacienda

deep in the hills surrounding that beautiful city.

Another agent working for Juan Miguel and known to the

shadow had met the shadow as well. He was offered the

opportunity to watch Chilean justice in action.

Curious, he too, was driven to the hacienda, taking a

quicker route. They arrived before Gary and the maid

and were waiting in a private viewing room, watching

the proceedings through a one-way mirror.

Gary was visibly impressed with the accommodations.

This was real power. He was seated in a comfortable

chair in a place of honor. Seated where he was,

though, he couldn't see the movement of the people

behind him. One by one, the august group of sham

politicians who had been there to greet him left the

room and were replaced by armed guards. Juan Miguel

kept Gary focused on him by telling one ribald anecdote

after another. When the last soldier was in place,

Juan Miguel told Gary he wanted to show him a clip of

the fugitive. They darkened the room and turned on a

huge wide-screen TV.

The image flickered then became clear. They had cut

down the image so that just Miki's face showed. Her

voice came across loud and clear, even into the room

where the shadow was watching. After the short clip,

Juan Miguel stood and said, "Perhaps I should formally

introduce myself. My name is Juan Miguel de la

Fernando, and that was my only daughter. I should also

introduce you to Col. Eduardo Perez. He is the

commander of a small government penal facility at the

southern tip of my country, outside of Punta Arenas.

He has seen the entire video you made of my lovely

daughter. He will be arranging for your accommodations

for the remainder of your stay with us."

With that, he turned his back on the murderer of his

child and walked proudly out of the room. Gary, true

to his nature, tried to fight his way out when he

realized he had been lured into a trap. His brief

struggles ended with his nose meeting a rifle butt. I

don't think the rifleman cared much for Gary, either.

The shadow was invited to observe Gary's confinement.

It was brief, but it left the man shaken to the core.

All he said was that Gary, or what was left of him

after living in a rat-infested hole, died in less than

two weeks, a very old man. I knew what he meant.

The shadow then told me that Col. Perez had asked him

to relay a message to me. Apparently Juan Miguel had

told him of how he came by the video. The message was

that `between honorable men, all is forgiven.' He had

also extended an offer to visit him in Chile.

I thanked the shadow, my friend, and shuddered to think

of re-visiting Col. Perez. I had already visited him

once. That was enough. That small government facility

was a maximum-security hellhole dubiously called a

prison. I had been there, myself, in the same place as

Gary, with a collar the size of a manhole cover locked

around my neck. With the rest of my body crammed into

a putrid, rat-infested sewage pipe and the manhole

cover locked to the ground, only my head was visible.

I shuddered as I remembered the horror of trying to

defend my weakened body from the attacks of the

ravenous rats I couldn't see. Sleeping under those

conditions was out of the question, too. I could

believe he died an old man. You aged very quickly

under those circumstances.

Col. Perez was the only law in that part of Chile.

What he said overruled any other authority within his

jurisdiction. He and I had had a difference of opinion

while I was in his town. As a result, he wanted me to

stay in his prison. I did not. I think I am the only

person to have escaped from that place, though I still

regret the necessity of crippling two of the guards in

the process. Given the savagery they lived with, it

might have been kinder to kill them outright. I heard

later that the other inmates had found them crippled

and had tortured them to death.

That detail of the other inmates killing the guards had

been left out of the report to the local authorities

and thus, the search was on for a `cop killer.' The

search ended when I crossed out of his jurisdiction

with the quiet help of Juan Miguel, which is why I owed

him my life. Without his help, I am convinced I would

never have made it. I was wounded, exhausted,

penniless and drained of every ounce of energy I

possessed. I was down to my last hope and Juan Miguel

came through for me. Giving him closure on this

horrible incident was the least I could do for him.

As a final chapter to the story of Gary, I wrote up my

report on the incident, complete with my involvement

and of my relationships with Sally, Miki and Juan

Miguel. I never cut corners in my reports, I never

lied. Sometimes it hurt, but eventually, it had always

served me well. I wasn't about to change now.

I e-mailed my report to the analyst. He called me back

almost immediately and asked a couple of questions,

then rang off. A couple of days later he called me

down to the anonymous building downtown.

"Watch this," he said mysteriously. "The show is just

about to begin."

I looked at what appeared to be a video feed from a

stationary camera. I recognized the house as Gary's

suburban hideaway. Suddenly, like a scene from the

Keystone Kops, federal and local law enforcement

vehicles began filling the screen, lights flashing

crazily in the dark. Several agents with a yellow

"FBI" emblazoned like targets on the backs of their

dark blue windbreakers jumped out of a still-moving

vehicle and raced up to the front door, as if eager to

be the first ones on the scene. I knew, unless the

analyst had deactivated the alarms, that they had just

tripped three systems, two of which were booby-trapped.

"Did you tip them off?"

"Yep! Set up the camera feed, too, to watch the

fuckers screw up.

"Did you tell them about the security?" I asked him.

"Yep! I said the guy had tight security."

"Oh, God! You didn't describe the systems?" He shook

his head, grinning. "You know that to them, `tight

security' means the guy has a big dog."

I watched in horror as the first agent reached to open

the door. The ensuing explosion knocked him and his

partner flat on their asses. The other agents,

mistaking the explosion for resistance, proceeded to

try to blow the fucking house apart with small arms

fire and teargas grenades.

"You modified the explosives, you bastard," I chided

him. He just grinned. "You're just lucky those two

agents had the sense to stay down or they would have

stood up into friendly fire." He stopped grinning.

Analysts don't know or think of everything.

The FBI reported the shootout had been the culmination

of years of painstaking work by hundreds of agents to

capture a serial killer. They produced a credible

likeness of Gary and a conveniently bullet-riddled

corpse. The newspapers carried the photos of the dead

girls that were dug up in the basement. Due to the

carnage, several of the videocassettes had been damaged

so it wasn't too suspicious when there were more bodies

than tapes. Everyone just assumed one or two had been

destroyed in the shootout.

Miki was finally laid to rest in a proper grave.

Chapter 33

While I had been busy finding and setting up the sting

for Gary, Sally and Janey had also been busy. I should

have known better than to leave the two of them alone

with my sister. Although it still isn't clear what

part Marion played in all of this, I suspect it is far

greater than any of the three of them have ever

admitted to me, especially considering what happened as

a result.

To begin with, Janey had recognized the girl at the

opera as a student from her school. From there it was

a simple task to find out her name, Simone LeBrech,

that she was French, smart and extremely shy. Sally

took it from there and followed her home one afternoon

after school and found where she lived. The day she

had done that was the day Gary left for South America

and she saw him carrying his suitcase out of the house

and down to a waiting cab. She had been terrified that

Gary might have seen her, but she knew when he packed

like that he would be gone for at least a week.

She used the next week to set up a fictitious meeting

with the mother. Knowing Sally, she couldn't pull off

a lie to save her life, and the two women were soon

weeping and swapping horror stories about life with

Gary. Sally had come clean with her, so Nicole

confessed she was at her wit's end as Gary was sexually

abusing her little girl after he put Nicole into

bondage. He made her watch each assault. Lately, each

time he was getting rougher and rougher with the girl.

Sally liked Nicole immediately and wanted to help her

somehow. Her heart went out to her and being the kind-

hearted and generous person she was, she offered my

services, too. The only problem was, she hadn't asked

me first. In fact, I knew nothing of this, as I was

busy shanghaiing Gary.

So, there I was, innocently sitting at my desk, forcing

myself to work, or at least look like it. The last

week or two I had been out of touch with my clients

and, secure as their investments were, they liked to be

occasionally reminded I was watching out for them. I

managed to soothe a few ruffled feathers and nervous

nellies before I just gave up and stared at the blank

fucking wall.

That was how Sally found me when she popped into my

office. I was so preoccupied with not knowing how

things were going in Chile that I didn't notice her

until she finally cleared her throat.

I looked at her. She was sitting Indian-style on my

blotter and was offering me something. She looked very

serious. I really had been somewhere else mentally.

At first I thought she was handing me her collar, but I

knew this wasn't the position for that.

"What is that, Sally?"

"It is a thong of a bride." I remembered the story
Amud had told me about the thong, and what it was for.

Sally's next words confirmed it. "I , uh, need to ask

you for a favor."

"Sally, you know that everything I have is yours. You

don't need a thong."

"Well, uh, it's kind of a special request, Larry. It

would require a thong. Believe me."

I should have known right then that something

catastrophic was afoot. I should have run like the

devil himself was chasing me. Did I? Nope! Call me

curious, call me stupid, I stayed.

"Is that your thong?" I didn't think she had had the

time to finish one, even if she had started when we

first knew about them.

She paused at that. " Uh, no. I borrowed one from

Bala."

"Borrowed?" She nodded. "You've started one of your

own to replace it?"

"Yes."

"Borrowing is not a good idea, even from friends. Give

it back to her. Bring me your thong."

"It's not ready yet. This one can be used for singing

now."

"Can the favor wait for the thong to be finished?"

"I don't think so."

I thought for moment, making her wait. She squirmed so

nicely when she was nervous. "Bring me yours. I will

accept it on the condition that you finish it."

Sally climbed down off my desk and left the room.

Three minutes later she came back in. Kneeling this

time, she offered up her thong to me. It was still

damp from having resided within her vaginal canal.

"You're offering me this as a slave?"

"Yes, Master."

"But you're not wearing my collar! How can I accept

this?"

Her hands flew to her neck. Blushing, and unusually

flustered for her, she scampered to the rack that held

hers and Janey's collars. Returning to her knees, she

offered me her collar. I fastened it on. Again, she

offered me the thong.

"Are you properly attired, slave?" I asked her in mock

severity.

Her look at me was definitely not that of a calm

submissive woman. She realized by now I was teasing

her. I think I liked her exasperated with me. Well, a

little bit, anyway.

It took her longer to return this time and I heard

other voices being shushed in the hallway. Still

glaring at me, she made her way over to my chair and

kneeled for a third time. Once more, she lifted the

thong.

"When was the last time you did your Head Time, slave?"

I realized that she was desperate enough that I could

get this to go on indefinitely. This could be

interesting.

Her hands lowered slowly in surrender. She realized I

was going to make her work before I accepted the thong

from her. With a heavy sigh of frustration, she opened

my trousers and freed my hardening cock. This happened

far too rarely for me, having Sally in this position.

I settled back and relaxed, ready to enjoy the feeling

of utter silence and peace while having the head of my

cock bathed in my lover's mouth.

Sally gave an exasperated grunt as I settled back, but

did not break from her place. I let her wait for a

long 15 minutes before I gently caressed her cheek, a

signal she could finish.

"Thank you, Master. I have missed that, too." She

knew what I was thinking? God Damn!

This time, with utter supplication, she held up the

thong.

I accepted it, obliging me to honor her request. I

lifted the damp leather to my nose and inhaled the

scent of my love. I didn't realize yet what an

expensive bouquet it was going to be, but right then I

didn't care. I was still lost in the arousing aroma of

the thong and didn't notice when two other women

entered the room. Sally stayed bowed down, my prick

stayed standing free as she had left it, waving in the

breeze.

I think she knew what my reaction was going to be to

her request. She was right to be a little afraid.

Pissed would be a nice word for it.

She introduced Nicole and Simone, mother and daughter.

They looked vaguely familiar. When she mentioned they

had been the two women with Gary the night of the

concert, it hit me. And I suddenly had an awful

feeling I knew what the favor was going to be. Really

pissed would be closer.

Her request was that I allow Nicole and Simone to join

the household. Permanently. Both were aware of our

lifestyle and were willing to join. Eager, in fact.

Nicole would be another slave and Simone would be,

well, another daughter, sort of.

I sat stone still, trying to convince myself of my love

for Sally, trying to figure out what in the fucking

Hell she was doing. Was she really offering me another

woman? I mean, sure, Nicole was nice to look at, but

shit, Sally and I weren't even married yet! I for

damned sure wasn't tired of her and didn't think I

would ever be.

My knuckles were white on the arms of the chair. This

one was metal, so they didn't snap like the one in the

kitchen. But they did bend a little. I tried really

hard not to yell at her, to humiliate her in front of

the people she was trying so hard to help. I zipped up

my pants for starters, my erection collapsing as the

totality of her request hit me.

God Damn fucking women. Don't they always know when

you've reached that last piece of rope? I was worried

about two of my friends, the shadow and Juan Miguel,

and she brings home two strangers. I had just sent a

man to his death, albeit justifiable in my mind, and

had put another friend in possible peril. The waiting

was killing me and I wasn't ready for this right now.

And things with Sally and Janey were going so well,

too! How is it that just when you finally get a good

grip on what's going on, they ask you to do something

that totally fucks up the system? And then want you to

fix it? God Damn it all to Fucking Hell!

I managed to do two things. I didn't yell at her and I

managed to remind myself that I loved her. I didn't

have a clue what she was trying to do, but if this was

important enough for her to ask for, it was important

enough for me to consider. OK, technically, by

accepting the thong, I had no choice. But,

technically, it wasn't our fucking custom, either.

I reached down and touched Sally's head. I nodded

curtly for her and the young girl to leave. Nicole

LeBrech stood before me, her head bowed down. I looked

at her for a while in silence. She was a fine looking

woman, different in most ways from Sally, and I will

admit, the sight of her stirred my blood. I felt

guilty, momentarily.

She sat down at my request in one of my office chairs.

I asked her to tell me her story, to be as complete and

honest as she felt she could be. It was odd, but I

could not sense her as I could Sally and Janey. It was

like there was a nothingness there, like the feelings

had been beaten out of her. When I thought back, I had

sensed something from Simone, but it felt different

than what I sensed form Sally and Janey. Like she was

more stiff or something. I couldn't place it and,

right then, I didn't have the time to think about it.

Nicole was talking.

She had been born in a little village outside of Paris,

France. Her mother had died in childbirth, so she had

never known her. Saddened by the loss of his true

love, but a proud man, her Papa had refused all help

from the village women and raised Nicole by himself.

He was a loving parent, but refused to dote on her. He

was a perfectionist himself and demanded her very best

efforts in all she did, often punishing her for

substandard efforts. He did not punish her for failing

when she had given her best effort.

Nicole had thrived in that atmosphere. She proved to

be exceptionally bright and finished her basic

schooling, the equivalent of American high school, by

the age of 15. At the graduation festivities, Nicole

got extremely drunk. Simone was born 9 months later.

She hadn't exactly been raped, but she didn't know who

the father was.

Papa took this development in stride. He moved to

Paris with her so she could start University. Simone

was born between end of term exams. Papa found a job

at night in an auto factory and helped Nicole raise

Simone until she finished with her Ph.D. work five

years later. She had a doctorate in neurochemistry.

Papa had been killed in an explosion at the auto plant.

Devastated and alone with a young daughter, Nicole had

latched onto - her words - the first man to come along

that showed any interest in her. Using her small

inheritance, he brought her to America, but, when the

money ran out, so did he.

Determined to make it, she called one of her Professors

who had taken an interest in her career. He referred

her to the president of a small biotech company near

where she was currently living in the US who needed a

neurochemist. For the next year or two, Nicole worked

hard, as Papa had trained her to and she did well.

Being beautiful helped and she had more and more

contact with the CEO of the company, an old curmudgeon

who had gone through several wives already. Nicole

rebuffed his advances, but the old bastard really fell

hard for her. He prevailed and they married, much to

the dismay of her other suitors.

She continued to do well, the company prospered from

her patents and, predictably, the old man died. He

died happy, in bed with Nicole, but it was traumatic

for her. He had left her everything her owned, other

than what went to the other wives and the stockholders.

He had been smart enough to have everything tied up

legally so they didn't contest the will. None of then

wanted to fight his lawyers again, it seemed.

Nicole and Simone had been naturalized to US

citizenship during this stint. She ran the company for

a while, but it wasn't what she wanted to do. She

missed the lab. She wanted out of the corporate rat

race. Through her own contacts in the industry, she

found a buyer for the company and made several people

very rich, including herself.

Being rich, single and beautiful would not seem to

present a problem to most people, but Nicole seemed to

attract smooth con men. She had invested her fortune

wisely and had put several roadblocks between it and

any confidence scheme, but that didn't stop the pricks

from trying. Most of them tried the wrong approach,

trying to sweet talk or woo her with flowers. Those

she felt comfortable with, as those she could handle.

Gary was the first one to touch her submissive nature,

and it rattled her to her core. Knowing of his quasi-

intelligence training, it did not surprise me that he

quickly found his way through her obstacles to her bank

accounts and was bleeding them at an alarming rate.

But even at the rate he was going, she had enough to

keep him in fresh Gucci's for another four years or so.

My ears perked up at that. That was serious money she

was talking about. It was also obvious that that

represented something more to her than just security.

If she became a part of the household, I would have to

make sure her money was kept totally autonomous from

mine. I would handle it the same way I did with Sally

and Janey's funds, but I knew I would have to take

special care to make her feel comfortable that I was

not after her money. It wouldn't be easy. If I had

that kind of money, I'd be suspicious of everyone, too.

She didn't say much about Gary. She didn't have to. I

knew what he put her through. The gentle seduction

into bondage, setting the hook, then the humiliation

and degradation. That he was actually abusing Simone

sexually to accomplish this humiliation disturbed me,

as I hadn't seen a pattern of young girls in his

profile. Simone was a mature young woman for her age,

that much I could see, but she was still a little

younger than Janey. There must have been something

special about her to attract Gary to her.

I had come to realize that I couldn't have been the

only person in the universe to have the ability to

`sense' emotions, as I had been doing with Sally and

Janey. I think, on some level, we all do. We just

never recognize it for what it is. I think pheromones,

facial expression and body language get confused in the

mix, too. Besides, being `sensitive' isn't always

considered to be a compliment to a male, although I had

always tried to be. I was beginning to realize that

Gary must have had the ability to sense a submissive

nature in women. Hell, he may even have had the

ability to project one onto them, but the thought that

that might be possible scared the living shit out of

me. He did seem to be able to `find' a lot of

submissive women, though, and I didn't recollect Miki

being like that. I shuddered and put the thought

behind me.

Nicole went on to tell me about Simone. It was like

watching a train wreck. Simone had shown early signs

of genius. Not like her mother. Smarter. Off the IQ

scale. She was also a pretty child and, for the most

part, well adjusted, especially for someone with her

brilliance. If she had a flaw, it was her instinctual

trust in males.

That had led to Nicole's first lover raping Simone at a

very young age. Nicole had not known about the

continued sexual assaults on her daughter until he had

run out. Simone's pediatrician had discovered the

signs of sexual activity after a routine exam. Nicole

was devastated at this. Children's services almost

took Simone away from her. If she hadn't found the job

at the biotech firm and moved out of state, they would

have. By the time they found her again, she was well

established at the company and the corporate lawyers

took care of the legal matters for her. For once, they

were good for something. I made a mental note to find

out more about that law firm. Lawyers with good hearts

were rarer than honest politicians.

Simone's escape from the misery and pain of the

betrayal of her trust was in learning. Books of all

kinds were her escape, the more challenging the better.

She was like a black hole when it came to learning.

She sucked in everything she came across from music to

medicine, Plato to physics. Often, she would have

trouble applying what she knew, but that was probably

because she knew too much. She had too many choices

and, really, how often in life is there just one right

answer? I had to smile at that. I was facing the same

situation right now, but I was desperately trying to

find a suitable alternative.

Nicole had kept Simone in school with children her own

age for her social development. She knew too well what

the consequences could be of being so much younger than

all the other kids. It was important for her that

Simone develop a social maturity that could help her

through the tough times she was bound to have ahead of

her, being as different as she was from everyone else

in the `smarts' department. Simone had been adjusting

well, trying to find her place in each class,

developing a friend or two to pal around with. It was

lately that things began to change.

Gary's abuse of Simone confused her. True to form, she

trusted him. He used that trust against her, then he

began abusing her, mentally and physically. Unlike

before, when she had been told to keep what was

happening a secret from her mother, Gary flaunted what

they did in front of her mother.

When Gary began hurting her, her reaction was to

withdraw. Nicole broke down at this point and I had to

wait for her to regain a semblance of self-control

before she could continue. Simone hadn't spoken for

the last three weeks, not to anyone, as far as she

could tell. At first she thought it was just a phase.

Then the notes from her teachers began to come home,

followed by a quietly panicked phone call from the

school counselor. From her previous experience with

Child services, Nicole was frantic, afraid she would

lose Simone for good this time, but didn't know what to

do. She had actually been preparing injections for

suicide for herself and Simone when Sally showed up.

I sat there, stunned that this woman could show such

composure with the trauma she had been though. I

wasn't prepared to deal with all her baggage, though it

seemed trite to label her very real emotional problems

that way. Another traumatized daughter was not on my

most-favorite list, either. I remembered the agonizing

Sally and I had gone through with Janey, and that was

just last week!

But, like Sally, my heart went out to her. She had no

one else. It touched a chord deep inside me,

challenged me to rethink the paradigms of my own life.

This time, it wouldn't just be me, but Sally and Janey

would help, too. Somehow I knew that was what Sally

intended, but making them a part of our family? It was

time to call Sally back in.

She entered at my call for her, apparently standing

right outside my door. One look at her face told me

she had known everything Nicole had just told me.

There was probably more tragedy, too, but the

highlights were enough for me. She came and knelt at

my feet.

"Go sit down, Sally. Consider your collar off for the

time being. I need complete and honest answers to some

questions."

I turned to Nicole. "In this house, I insist on

openness and honesty, even when you are in a submissive

role. Sally knows that, but I just wanted to remind

her. Now, I have to ask you some questions about how

you see yourself fitting in here. You know, as you can

see from Sally's attire and collar, that she has a

submissive role in this relationship. That is, by the

way, her preference, not my demand. Can you deal with

that?"

Nicole lowered her eyes, but didn't blush. "What that

awful man did to me gave me the most intense feelings I

have ever felt. I was hooked from the first soft rope

he used to tie me up. I am so ashamed of my weakness,

to have wanted it so badly, but I couldn't help myself.

It wasn't love. I knew that. It was worse. I could

find love almost anywhere. He was the only person I

knew who could make me feel like that. It was like a

drug, an addicting drug.

"It tore me apart when he touched Simone, but I was

helpless to stop him. I..." she broke down again,

"...I orgasmed at first, it felt so naughty, being so

helpless to stop him. At first he only touched her,

then he made her do things. Soon he was fucking her.

Three weeks ago he beat her."

She paused, thinking. "I have thought much about this.

I am not an ignorant person. I realize, since talking

to Sally, but not only that, that I need to be in a

submissive role, too. Yes. If this life is possible,

I want it." She looked over at Sally, who took her

hand in support. "I need it."

Shit! They were in this together, already. I still

had some questions.

"OK, you want to do this. What about Simone?"

Nicole looked up at me now, her eyes sharp and focused.

This seemed to be more like her normal approach to

life. "Sally has told me about how you are working

with Janey..."

In a moment of panic I focused my link on Sally and

shot her a questioning `Everything?' I wasn't sure if

it would work, but my heart rate and adrenaline were

high enough that if anything would make it work, it

should now. Amazingly, it did.

"No. Not `everything,'" she replied softly through the

link. I think we were both stunned at what we had just

done, but there were more pressing matters at hand.

"...to help her get over her attack. From what I have

seen of Janey, she seems very well adjusted. I

think..." she smile wryly, "...I think that this time,

for some reason, it is me who trusts you. I apologize

in advance, but Simone does not trust you or any man
now, and is bound to give you trouble."

Ah, the magic button. The hook. A challenge. I

couldn't resist. Not after getting walking pneumonia

in college, not with the risk of losing Sally. Not

now. Knowingly or not, she had offered me the bait I

needed.

What was I thinking? It was going to be a challenge

fitting two more attractive and probably willing

females into a sexually charged environment. What she

was telling me about Simone made her an impossible

challenge. With emotional stakes as high as possible.

I was hooked.

"Sally, how did you see this working? How did you

think they would fit in here?"

She looked flustered. Thinking of something is one

thing. Saying it out loud, in broad daylight is

grounds for commitment to the loony bin. "They, uh,

well, they, er,..."

"Start with Nicole, here. What would be her role?"

"Oh, well, uh, I though we could share, you know..."

She just left it hanging.

"You thought you and I would share Nicole? I don't

need another slave."

Sally blushed, and glanced over at Nicole for support.

She must have gotten it, because she actually said it.

"No, Larry. I thought Nicole and I would share you.

And before you ask, yes, I have thought about this,

and, yes, we would share you in every way." She was

rather abrupt at the end.

Well excuuuuse me.

"What if she doesn't appeal to me?"

Two sets of eyes widened and stared at me, one in

horror that the owner might be found unsatisfactory,

the other pair in the horror that their owner's master

could have voiced such a tactless question. One pair

caught on that I was playing with them.

"Sally, it's OK. He said `what if'."

"Huh?"

"He said `what if'. That means he likes me." Nicole

looked at me, suddenly shy. "I think."

I smiled broadly at having been caught out so easily.

Damn, I was going to have to get sharper in a hurry to

stay ahead of this one. And the daughter was smarter

still? Deep, deep shit we're in here, bubba. Deep,

deep shit.

I tipped back my chair and closed my eyes, trying to

think this out. Sally was trying to alter our

relationship and I thought I knew why. As overwhelming

as I had found her submissiveness earlier, I had seen

indications lately that she found my possessiveness of

her to be equally overwhelming. There had been hints,

even a small rebellion, in her own fashion.

This was not just another shot across the bows, though.

This was her solution. Served up on as attractive a

platter as I had seen, I must admit, but I didn't like

it. I didn't like not having a choice. This tasted a

little like an ultimatum.

"Sally...?"

"I know, Larry. You love me." She stopped, got up and

came over to my chair. She tipped me upright and sat

on my lap. "I don't like to shout that across the

desk," she said tenderly. "I love you, too. I always

will. Believe it or not, it won't change because of

Nicole, or Simone, or even Janey. I am absolutely

convinced of your heart, of your love, of your

intentions. It is that absoluteness that gives me the

freedom to ask this of you." She didn't add that it

was also that total dedication to her that was driving

her crazy. She always did have a kind heart.

"I know this won't be easy," she continued, "but you've

never shied away from the tough things, have you?" She

leaned down and whispered in my ear, digging into my

ribs with her fingers at the same time, "This one you

can fuck, too, lover. Really!" She collapsed in a

giggling heap as I dumped her unceremoniously off my

lap and onto the floor.

"All right! All right!" I had the attention of both

of them. "I'll agree, but with conditions." Sally

groaned. Loudly. It was almost a `God help us' moan,

but I couldn't quite make out the words.

"Nicole and Simone may move in. Until further

arrangements can be made, Simone will move into Janey's

room. Agreed?"

Sally nodded. It was always easiest to give away

someone else's privacy. I wondered what the two girls
would say to having a roommate.

"Nicole? You will be Sally's submissive. She will be

your Mistress."

Sally sat there, open-mouthed, stunned. Speechless,

for once.

Chapter 34

The new arrangement didn't work. It was an uneasy

arrangement to begin with. Sally got stressed out in

about two days, which made it worse. She became

overbearing, surly, bossy. She couldn't handle being a

mistress to Nicole.

The decision had not pleased Nicole, either, though she

was in a submissive role, as she had wanted. She

suffered from a reluctant mistress, however, and in

short order, her more aggressive personality made the

situation worse.

It got a little better for a while after I gathered

them together and told them what had happened to Gary.

I called them all into the Free Room. I answered every

question I could. I told them about Miki. We watched

the news coverage of the funerals for the dead girls.

Sally and Nicole understood they owed their lives to

their daughters being in a public school. I thought we

were all bonding nicely, and that the roughest part was

behind us. Boy, was I wrong.

Sally tried to assert her dominance, I will give her

that. I found her tactics intriguing and filed them

away in case I needed to impress my mastery over Sally

in the future. First, she stripped Nicole of all

clothing. Not a shred of covering. Not that I minded.

Nicole was indeed a beauty, but about as different from

Sally as you could get. Where Sally was petite, Nicole

was statuesque. Tall, almost 6 foot. Her dark hair
and olive complexion made Sally seem pale, even with

Sally's lightly tanned skin. Together with her

intelligent piercing aristocratic blue eyes, she was a

striking woman.

Nicole did not seem to have an ounce of excess fat on

her, now that I could readily see all of her. That's

not to say she wasn't feminine, far from it. She had

all the curves necessary to qualify, and then some.

Her breasts were about the same size as Sally's but

seemed smaller on Nicole's larger frame. Her waist was

incredibly narrow. Sally told me it was only 20

inches. I detected more than a little jealousy when

she told me that. Nicole also had that feature that

millions of men react to automatically. She had that

natural diamond-shaped open space between her thighs,

right at the top. Prehistorically, that meant a wide

carriage for bearing young and the eroticism of that

image was programmed into the male sex chromosome.

Sally had it, too, but Nicole... Oh, my! ...the first

time I saw her silhouetted in the light from the window

behind her, I think I began to finally lust after her.

That perfect diamond of light just below her crotch lit

a slow burning fire in me.

Next, Sally had Nicole sleep on the floor at the foot

of our bed. This I found interesting, as well,

because, if anything, her presence during our intimate

times added to Sally's stress and distress. She became

uneasy when we made love, to the point I had to remind

her who was boss. Well, at least, who it was who

thought he was boss, anyway. I never forced her to

have sex, but she didn't enjoy it as much with Nicole

there.

Third was that she had Nicole doing all the shit work.

Cleaning, dusting, scrubbing, shopping - grocery, not

clothes, gardening, and so on. Everything but what she

was suited to do, which was to use her brain. Mindless

drivel.

Added to all this was that Janey and Simone were not

getting along, either. Janey only had a single bed in

her room, so they were not only sharing a room, but a

bed, too. Simone was jealous of Janey's popularity,

Janey of Simone's brains. There were phone messages

that didn't get delivered, sabotaged reports and tests,

and so on. Simone was really trying to mess with Janey

and doing a good job.

For her part, Janey was trying to get along, if only

half-heartedly. She came to me one evening in tears,

sweaty from one of the pick-up basketball games.

Simone had begun to put a damper on these events, too.

I really think she wanted to participate, but she was

shy and unfamiliar with basketball. Janey poured out

all her woes, blaming everyone, including me,

obliquely, for the crap she had to live with.

I held her on my lap trying to work things out. This

mess was largely my fault. I know, I know. Sally's

way would have probably been better, but it still

rubbed me the wrong way to have her decide without

consulting me. Even if she was right.

I asked what Janey had done to make Simone's situation

better. She looked at me funny, as if it was a strange

concept that she might have to do something to help

Simone fit in. I asked her if she had ever made her

feel like she was welcome. Again she looked at me

funny.

I hugged her to me and, without thinking, I told her

that it might help Simone feel like she belonged if

Janey went out of her way to do something special for

her, to make her know she was wanted.

"Like what?" she wanted to know.

"I don't know. Just think about what would make you

feel special and wanted and do that for her."

Honestly, I didn't have anything in mind at the time.

Later that night, I woke to a familiar elbow in my

side. "Larry? You awake?"

"Uh-huh. Now I am."

"Oh, sorry. Did you talk to Janey today?"

"Uh-huh."

"About Simone?"

"Ummm."

"What did you tell her to do?"

Suddenly alert to the edge in her voice, I was now

fully awake. And I sensed it, too, but it was

different somehow. We had both sensed when Janey had

an orgasm and we were familiar with that. This one was

different, like it was learning how to feel good.

"God! It's her first orgasm!" Sally whispered to me,

after leaning over and checking on Nicole, just to make

sure she wasn't fingering herself.

"Should I check on them?"

"No. Let them finish."

"Them? How can you tell there are two of them?"

I could sense her smile in the dark. "Don't know. I

just do. Janey's giving Simone an orgasm. Again."

We both felt this one, too, stronger, more sure of

itself, more welcomed into the body it was entering.

Janey was diligent, I'll give you that. Simone was

cumming like a pro when Janey finally stopped working

her over. I slipped in to check on them when it had

been quiet for a while. I was greeted by a gorgeous

tangle of teen limbs. Simone was zonked. Janey was

still awake. I sat by her side and took her hand.

"What was it you did, kiddo?"

"What you said."

"Uh, I don't think I said to do anything like what just

happened here."

She grinned up at me. "You could feel her, too? God,

she didn't know what was happening to her!"

"And what was happening to her, Janey? Inquiring minds

want to know."

She sort of snorted when she giggled, most unladylike.

"Well, I thought about what you said, about doing

something to make her feel special and wanted. I

thought about what made me feel that way. Then I

remembered the time you did me with your mouth, about

how good that made me feel and all. So I did her."

"She didn't object?"

"Well, uh, I, uh, I kind of surprised her. After a

minute, when I didn't bite, she quit struggling."

"Struggling?"

"Uh-huh! I sort of tied her hands to the bed first,

like you did mine."

Oh God, I had created a monster.

"You didn't mind that she was a girl?"

"You mean that lezzie thing?"

"Yeah. People can be kind of mean if they find out."

"Oh. Simone wouldn't tell. And even if she does,

that's OK, too. It was my gift to her. What she does

with it is up to her. Isn't that what you've been

trying to tell me all along, Dad?"

I leaned over and kissed this marvelous young woman

goodnight, my tears dripping on her sweaty and slimy

face.

"I would have sex with you right now if you wanted,

kiddo." I knew she had not cum and was still sexually

aroused.

She grinned up at me, then hugged me tight. I thought

for a moment she was going to take me up on my offer.

I wasn't sure if I hoped she would or if I hoped she

wouldn't. She held me for the longest time, then

whispered, "Thanks, Dad," in my ear.

Maybe you had to be there, but I thought it was a Hell

of a touching moment. I went back to my room and went

to sleep.

OK. Now, if you came home and heard, `Oh, God, Oh,

God, Yes, Yes, Yes. Oh God that's so big and hard, Do

my ass, too, harder, please, please don't stop,' or

various repetitions and renditions thereof emanating

from your daughter's bedroom, screamed in a loud and

excited manner, what would you think? Right! You keep

a shotgun in the closet for just such an instance.

Unfortunately, it was Sally and Nicole who came home

from a foreshortened day of shopping, as Nicole was

being a real bitch. Unknown to them, Janey and Simone

had decided to play hooky from school to further

explore the territory discovered the night before.

What they walked in on was Simone pounding Janey with a

dildo, who was the one screaming. Simone was eagerly

returning the favor Janey had done for her the entire

hour before. The girls thought they were alone in the

house and were being as noisy and raunchy as they

wanted. It was all in fun, just girl stuff, sort of

like male bonding. Yeah, right!

Sally immediately knew what was going on through her

link with Janey. She thought it was strange that Janey

sounded like she was having a lot more fun than it felt

like she was experiencing through the link, but she

also knew that the other person in the room was not me.

We had said goodbye this morning in the shower, as I

had to run up to the Guild for some business meetings.

She deducted correctly that Janey's partner in passion

was Simone, and that was the reason for the verbal

encouragement. Janey and Sally had both commented to

me at the seeming inability of Nicole to feel anything

on their link, and that Simone's link felt funny to

them. The way they talked, it sounded as if they

really pitied them that loss.

Nicole, however, didn't know who was with Janey, only

that Janey seemed to be getting a good fucking, one of

a lifetime, from the sounds of it. Whether to herself

or if she meant Sally to hear wasn't clear, but she

muttered, "The little bitch will be as big a slut as

her mother soon." Of course, she muttered it in

French. Then again, maybe it was Sally's fault for not

informing Nicole she spoke fluent French and could

understand the colloquial vulgarisms she constantly

used when referring to her and Janey.

Needless to say, the comment didn't sit well with

Sally. I had learned early on that malicious words

would wound Sally worse than the whip. Those words

from Nicole cut her deeply. Unbidden, a vengeful anger

started to grow in her heart. Attack Sally and she

would fight back, attack her daughter and she would get

vengeance.

Uncharacteristic of Sally, she ignored her anger. I

had commanded her to be a mistress. She was trying to

do her best. She also didn't want to embarrass Nicole

by letting her know she understood French. There were

things to do, preparations for the next visit by our

friends. Sally still had to organize two more costumes

for Nicole and Simone, and, as she had discovered,

Nicole was domestically worthless. She couldn't cook,

clean, sew, iron, or straighten up. What exactly was

she to do with this worthless bitch?

Amud and Bala's next visit was to be a special

occasion. Not only would Nicole and Simone be

introduced to our friends and into the growing

relationship we had with them, it was also the occasion

for the first public dance performance by Janey. Bala

had been working them hard, and Janey had excelled

under her teaching. I truly appreciated the practice

drills that Sally showed me, especially when she was

impaled on my iron hard prick. But I think the very

fact that she practiced with me defeated the purposes

of the drills. She was still much improved from that

first dance she did for me.

Finally all was in readiness for the evening. The

women served Amud and I a sumptuous dinner, two

delectable maidens served the wine, and the cigars were

slowly smoldering down. It had been a delightful

evening. My belly was full, my cock was hard, all was

right with the world. I was beginning to look forward

to a wild night with my lover, when the ching-ching of

the music sounded. I leaned back to relax. I had

forgotten about the premier.

The occasion of a first dance was special as the women

were allowed to enter the main tent and sit with the

men. Bala sat with Amud. Simone, Sally and Nicole

came to sit with me, although Sally positioned Nicole

so she was not near Amud or myself. I wondered at the

intentional slight on her part, but just then Janey

danced through the veiled door. Or should I say she

floated through the door.

Her outfit, if it could be called that, was daring. It

was beyond daring. It was blatant. It displayed all

her womanly charms and then some. It highlighted her

coloring. You could see the blush across the tops of

her breasts. Hell, you could see everything! Even

that her normally tiny trimmed bush was now missing. I

don't know how that affected Amud, but my blood was

sure boiling.

Her dance was short, but energetic and erotic in the

extreme. Even the women seemed entranced with her

sexuality. She twirled and twisted, wiggled and

jiggled. I think it was probably a bit more acrobatic

than a traditional dance, but Bala had worked wonders

with what she had to work with. Looking over at my

friends, I wasn't sure she was entirely pleased with

Amud's obvious reaction to Janey's dancing. From the

way Bala was lying across his lap there was no way she

could miss his arousal. In fact, unless I missed my

guess, that hand I couldn't see was probably wrapped

around his throbbing swollen shaft. I chucked as I

thought of what his night would be like with that

wildcat of a wife.

At the conclusion of her dance, Janey ended up kneeling

in front of me, her head to the ground. She seemed to

be waiting for something. I looked over to Amud for a

hint. He seemed to be somewhere else, although his

eyes were still fixed on Janey's almost nude form.

"Amud?"

He started, as if from a dream. I almost hated to

bring him back from where ever he had been. "Yes, my

friend?"

"Is she waiting for something?"

He looked at Bala. Something passed between them, then

he nodded his head. "Ah, yes. Bala has told the fresh

one of the traditions of the first dance. In my

country it is traditional for the dancer to request a

favor of a sensual nature from her chosen benefactor.

It is always granted if the dance is deemed to be

acceptable."

He continued, "You seem to be her chosen benefactor,"

he sounded rather disappointed that Janey hadn't chosen

him, but a sharp nudge from Bala cured that, "as she

has ended her dance and bowed in front of you." He

sighed, earning him another playful elbow from Bala.

"For my part, if she had chosen me, she would have had

her most sexual of favors granted a million times over.

Gladly." He got a rather sharp elbow for that remark,

but the two were now laughing and showing more

affection for one another than ever before in our

presence.

I could see Janey blush from his compliment of her and

his implication that he would enjoy doing much more

with her. I let her stay bowed for a while, letting

her catch her breath. Also, I was somewhat leery of

granting favors, sensual or otherwise, before I knew

what they were. But some things you just don't learn

to resist, and a beautiful woman prostrate before me is

almost always going to get her wish.

"Janey, your first dance is deemed to be acceptable," I

intoned with all the pomposity I could muster. "What

is your sensual pleasure?"

I expected her to ask for that car she had been bugging

me for. The one with the leather seats. Or an

expensive trinket, maybe. But nope, not my Janey!

"I want to go to that place you took mom the night of

the concert."

I gasped. Sally paled. No one else in the room had a

clue.

"You told me you didn't want to go there."

"I told you I wasn't ready. I am now. I'm not afraid

of those feelings anymore and I am strong enough." I

could almost here `I think' or `I hope' on the end of

that.

My, my. My little girl is all grown up. But then I

knew that. I had just seen her dance. Someone was

going to be a very lucky man someday, to have that

body, that spirit to come home to each night.

"What place is she speaking of?" asked Amud, thinking

that Janey was referring to a physical location.

Sally told them of the white crop I had used on her,

how I had tied her and pushed her beyond any experience

she had had before or since. It was beyond the

singing. It was just beyond.

Bala turned to look at me. In awe she said, "You can

see the dancing lights in a woman as she sings?"

I nodded.

Simone, still puzzled, asked Sally, "Janey wants Larry

to whip her with a stick?"

Sally nodded.

Nicole had passed the point of credulity. Again she

muttered, this time about Janey now being as big a

tramp as her mother. Again in French. Bala and Amud

both spoke French. So did I.

It was the last straw for Sally. Remind me to never

push her too far. She was a blinding fury as she

pummeled Nicole, screeching and shrieking as she did

so. When Nicole was sufficiently limp, she dragged her

by her hair out of the room. We heard the body

thumping down the stairs to the first floor, then all

was quiet.

Embarrassed at the outburst, I apologized to Amud. He

gave me a quizzical look, like I was an idiot.

"Lawrence, my friend. You are a good master, but

sometimes you do stupid things."

I must have looked puzzled.

"Sally, your beloved, is not like Bala. She cannot be

mistress, too. It's is not in her aura. Different

lights. Your new beloved, Nicole, is not mistress.

Janey, she is young, she can learn both ways yet.

Simone, she is a special one." He grinned. "You are

one lucky son of the bitch, my friend, but I do not

envy you."

He stopped and fixed me with a stare. "Learn to see

your women, as a master. If you see the dancing

lights, you are far beyond me in skill. But maybe I

can help you with wisdom, no?"

With that, he indicated I should tend to Janey who was

crying with gathering hysterics on the floor. Her

debut was ruined, her request forgotten.

As I tended to Janey, finally getting her settled down,

Amud and Bala quietly slipped out and drove home. Bala

had seemed incredibly agitated, perhaps aroused, at

Janey's dance and the ensuing conversation. Amud, to

my surprise, had not seemed jealous of her attraction

to Janey or to me. When I thought back, Bala may not

have been envious of Amud's reaction to Janey, but

could have actually been exciting him with her hand,

enhancing his pleasure of the dance. Such non-

possessiveness was strange to me, but seeing it in

practice made me think it might work.

As Janey quieted down I carried her down to her room.

Suddenly she cried out.

"Oh, God, Dad, she's killing her!"

"Who? Where?" I demanded immediately.

"M-M-Mom is beating Nicole. Downstairs. Daddy? Why

is she so angry with Nicole? It hurts, oh God, it

hurts...." Janey rolled over in tears, holding her

stomach.

I dashed down to the dungeon, fully expecting the

worst. I just hoped I wasn't too late to stop her from

doing any permanent damage.

What I saw pained me. Sheer anger was being vented in

a blind rage. My meek, mild Sally had strung Nicole up

by her wrists and was using the heavy handle of a whip

to bludgeon her face and torso. There was no thought

to her wildly swinging blows, only rage.

My heart cried out to her to stop. I knew I couldn't

reach her before she struck a couple of more times, so

I did the only thing I could think of. I focused as I

ran to her, thinking of an iceberg and then wrapped it

around her. As corny as that sounds, it worked. She

froze, so to speak, in mid-blow.

My first priority was to secure Sally where she

couldn't harm Nicole any more. I led her gently over

to a set of kneeling stocks and placed her head and

hands in the appropriate half rounds, then closed and

locked the top bar. We had never used this device

before, but Sally had commented that if I ever wanted

to punish her, that was the way. It seemed

appropriate.

She hadn't resisted me. As soon as I had touched her

she had gone limp. I knew she knew she had made a

grievous error. So had I. Sally had known her

limitations and had tried to tell me. I hadn't

listened. I was too proud. This was my fault, too.

With Sally secured and unable to harm herself or

Nicole, I cut down Nicole. Her wrists were bleeding

from the plastic ties Sally had used. I wondered where

those had come from. I hated those evil devices. Not

only could they mark you permanently, they didn't have

a lock to pick. I quickly examined the unconscious

woman. As near as I could tell from a quick field

exam, there were no broken bones. I was more worried

about her spirit than her bones, though.

I carried her upstairs and took her into the Free Room.

We hadn't had to use this room much before, but

everything was there. A bed, a bathroom. I took the

pistols I had placed there and put them away. I hadn't

gone over everything with Nicole just yet, and didn't

want her running around the house with a loaded gun.

After Nicole was settled and as comfortable as I could

get her, I went to find Simone to tell her that her mom
was going to be OK and to try to explain to her what

had happened.

I couldn't find Simone. I looked everywhere. I looked

in on Janey to see if they were together. I checked

the dungeon just to be sure. I searched the house. I

checked my security system and ran a check for infrared

heat sources. I could only count four in the house or

on the grounds. I ran the security tape loop.

Three heat sources had left the house at nearly the

same time. Two had gone together, one had slipped out

just after the others were in their car.

I watched the tape from the outside security camera as

the third heat source disappeared down the driveway and

turned toward the nearest Interstate. To have been

that visible, Simone must have been outside the car,

riding on the rear bumper of Amud and Bala's limousine.

Simone had run away.

Chapter 35

I could have panicked. An underage girl I barely knew

and had accepted responsibility for had just left for

parts unknown, and I had only one clue where she might

have gone. Her mother lay unconscious in my guestroom,

beaten senseless by my lover. The unconscious mother
would have to be tended by the daughter of the woman

who had just brutalized her. What, me worry?

After checking on Nicole, I went up to Janey's room.

She was already getting dressed, her eyes still puffy

and swollen from crying, but her face set and

determined.

"Janey?"

"Be ready in a minute. Where do you think she went?"

"How'd you know she was gone? Oh, I see. Gee, you're

getting pretty good with your link thing, aren't you."

"Yes, and you should be better than me, Dad. I mean, I

can sense stronger than Mom, but she's real sneaky

sometimes about what she knows, so I can't always tell.

Simone and I can hook up pretty good, but she's way

different than I am. Like, the last time we did each

other, she was doing things to me I didn't think anyone

but you could do. I made her stop, you know, it was

too much. She's like you that way in that she can tell

what turns me on, but still, she's no match for what

you can do."

"What do you mean?"

She turned to me, exasperated but patient, like with a

slow-witted child. "Dad. Stop thinking. Feel. Reach

out. God! You can do it when you don't think about,

you know? I felt what you did to mom downstairs."

I must have looked surprised.

Janey explained, "Don't you know what you did? You

were shouting how much you loved her, how this was all

your fault, how you would try to make things right, but

to please STOP! I mean, you weren't making words with

your mouth or anything, you were like shouting in your

mind, or something. It was really clear. You were

really scared, not just for Nicole, but for Mom, too.

That sort of made me feel good. Then I got really,

really cold. Stop thinking of pictures, will you? I

mean, it works sometimes, but Geez, an iceberg? Be a

little easier on us weaklings, why don't you."

"You got all that, all the way up here?"

"Clear as a bell, Dad. Just stop thinking. Feel. Can

you feel mom now? Can you tell what she's feeling?"

I stopped and felt. I reached out for Sally. I found

her, waiting for me. A lump formed in my throat.

Shit. And I thought I felt bad. I sent her my love.

"Don't worry. She'll get over it. She knows you love

her. That's all she needs to know right now. She also

knows she really screwed up, too. And that you will

fix it. She trusts you. She loves you. I trust you,

too."

She finished tying her shoes. "Where do we start

looking for Simone?"

I was taken aback for a minute. "Uh, would you mind

holding down the fort here? I kind of need you to look

after Nicole. She's unconscious right now, but

nothing's broken, I hope. But when she comes to, I

need you to make sure she's OK. If she's not, call the

hospital and get her there.

"Your mother stays in the basement until I come back

home with Simone, or until I give up. That could be a

long time. Tough. Let her out of the stocks one hour

a day for a shower and exercise. You can change her

bondage if you think the stocks are too much for her.

I don't know how long I will be gone, so use your

judgement. I do not want to injure her.

"You may give her updates on Nicole's progress and

anything I tell you to relay to her on the telephone.

Otherwise silence. No chit chat, no making her feel

better. You'll need to feed her at least one meal

while she's in restraints. She cleans up her own

messes on her free hour. It will stink down there, so

be prepared for it."

Janey nodded, agreeing with everything I said, even the

tough parts.

"You're in charge, kiddo. I trust you, too. Remind

Nicole about the Free Room rules and that she can stay

there as long as she wants. That's where I put her.

Oh, the guns are put away, so you won't need to worry

about her getting a hold of one. Other than that, be

sure to sleep when you can, even if it's during the

day. You're going to need it. I'll call when I can."

She rushed into my arms. "Thanks, Dad, for taking

charge. I'm glad you're letting me do something."

I held her away from me. "You're not disappointed

you're not going with me to look for Simone?"

"That's your job. Besides, if you had to worry about

me, I'd just mess up your sensing thing. You have

enough trouble with it, as it is." Always the critic.

At least she was smiling when she said that.

"Good. I'm off then." With that, I turned and left

the house, knowing Janey would take charge. Just like

Sally would, if she could.

I called Amud on his cell phone from my car as I headed

for the Interstate.

"Amud, I'm sorry to disturb you, but Simone left the

house with you this afternoon."

"My friend, as lovely as the child is, I did not kidnap

her, I swear."

"Amud, again I'm sorry. I didn't mean to imply you had

anything to do with it. I didn't make myself clear.

She left the house riding on your car. On the back

bumper. She has run away."

"Oh, dear!"

"Yes. I need to know the first stop you made after you

left the house that she could have gotten off.

Probably in a city or large town."

He thought a minute. "Oh, yes. We stopped in at a

leather warehouse over near the new stadium. From

there we are now heading home."

"Thank yo...."

"Lawrence? Lawrence? Hello? Here is Bala. The girl,

the new one, she is missing, no?" From the blustering

in the background, I could tell Amud was not happy that

his little wife had snatched the cell phone from him.

I smiled, in spite of the circumstances. He would

enjoy reminding her of his mastery over her. I knew

she would enjoy it also.

"Yes, Bala. I have to find her."

"Use the lights, Lawrence. Don't think, just use

lights. You great master, use it. Find the precious

one." She then got all soft, unlike the Bala I knew.

"I like her. Please. She is very special."

"I know. I like her, too, Bala. Goodbye, and thank

you." I rung off, slightly puzzled by their comments.

You know, it was beginning to irritate me. With all

advice I had been getting lately to quit thinking, I

was beginning to think..., well there I went again,

thinking. Anyway, perhaps people were trying to tell

me I did too much of it, or maybe that I didn't do it

well. I wasn't sure. I decided not to think about it.

I had a haystack, a place to start. All I needed to do

now was find the needle. Piece of cake. Yeah, right.

The warehouse Amud mentioned was in an industrial area,

busy on the weekdays, but almost deserted at night and

weekends. I could hear the ruckus from the tail end of

a Heavy Metal band concert in the stadium a couple of

blocks over. This being a Friday evening, I figured

Simone got here just when the streets were empty, the

workers gone home, the concert in full swing. A pretty

young girl, alone, would stick out like a sore thumb on

these naked streets.

I sat in my car, at a loss for what to do next. I had

driven to the spot Amud had stopped. I parked in a No-

Parking zone across from the local police precinct.

Even it was deserted at this time of the week, manned

by just a skeleton crew of rookies. It had been too

much to hope that Simone would be standing there

waiting for me. I know it was na‹ve of me, but I had

hoped, just a little.

I closed my eyes in quiet frustration and lay my head

against the steering wheel of the car. I may have

cried for her, I don't know. I guess I really had

wanted her to be there, tears on her face, cold from

the long ride on the bumper, frightened of the strange

darkness, a big van, a friendly face, old kind of, kind

of cinnamon smell, candy, a warm car, warm blanket,

warm up, feels good, food, voices, laugh, a funny

laugh, money through the window, a door opening

suddenly, a bad man, fear, scared, ...

I woke up with a start. What the Hell was that? I

looked at my watch. No. I hadn't been asleep.

Simone! I knew I was sensing Simone, seeing what

Simone was sensing. Somewhere near, close, but going

away now. Then just blank, like she was drugged. I

had felt the needle jab into her leg. I could sense

her drift away, then it was still, not any feelings

from her at all.

I found myself out of my car. I could sense better

outside in the open. I couldn't get a bearing on a

direction with this sensing thing and it frustrated the

shit out of me. I just wandered the streets, hoping to

sense when it was stronger, when she was closer. She

was so close...

I wandered the streets looking for her, half running,

stumbling, walking. Looking for her senses. Just a

trace, anything. I found that the harder I tried, the

fainter she got. I lost all sense of time and of

myself. I immersed myself into her aura, and just kept

wandering, apparently aimlessly.

It happened so suddenly. I distinctly felt it when she

woke up, the pain, the slaps across our cheeks, a kick

in the ribs, one broke. I hurt, she hurt. Too far

away, now, she was going away again. Another needle,

another sleepless dream, floating. I followed that

dream, walking blindly through streets.

Then the men started coming. I could see them, what

they were doing to her, to us. We were ashamed,

please, no more, not again. The sense from Simone

started to fade, but wasn't moving away anymore. She

was going into hiding, into her shell. It was her only

defense, her last hope. I sent her a message, but I

didn't know if she got it. I was coming. Hold on.

Then it was just like static on an open radio signal.

I kept wandering, trying to find her. The streets were

empty through Saturday and Sunday. Monday I had to

dodge traffic as I stumbled along the sidewalks. I

don't remember if I slept or not. I do remember I

stopped looking at people as people. I started looking

at them as lights. I wasn't surprised to find most

people were pretty dim, if they had any light at all.

Tuesday came and went and I was getting desperate.

Just before I collapsed in a doorway, I heard it.

"Help me. Please."

Simone! She was close! I looked around and saw her

light. There were no windows in that abandoned

building, but I saw her lights. Dimming, but there. I

knew it was her.

I found my way into the building and damn near fell

down the dilapidated steps into the cellar. It stunk

of fresh urine and shit. I began a frantic search for

her in the dark cavernous spaces. The lights from her

had gone back out. There was only static again.

I found her. She was naked, bruised and barely

conscious. They had used a staple gun to fasten clumps

of her hair to a wooden post. She was hanging by her

hair in a position where she couldn't stand upright or

sit or kneel. The muscles of her thin legs had

supported her as long as they could in the awkward

position, but they had given out days ago. The floor

around her was in places several inches deep in feces

and pools of urine. It couldn't have been all hers.

The two men surprised me as I was vomiting. Given

their poor fighting skills, my retching wasn't much of

a disadvantage. I disabled the big one first. He was

obviously the bodyguard. The asshole was trying to

pull an Uzi out from under his jacket, if you can

imagine that. The clip or barrel or something got

caught on his belt, but by that time, it didn't matter.

His knee when one way, he went the other, shit

splashing everywhere as he landed hard. He dropped his

Uzi when he grabbed for his knee. I kicked him in the

head for insurance, then kicked the gun into a far

corner.

The smaller man, a pimp by his dress, was smarter. I

could tell because he had chosen a more appropriate

weapon. He had his knife out and was trying to appear

as if he was ready for me. I like fighting idiots with

knives. Mainly because most fighters don't know how to

use them and it makes the motherfuckers overconfident.

They always get a big one like Rambo or that crocodile

guy and the weight tends to throw them off balance.

Then they fucking hold them upside down, like I'm going

to be stupid enough to step inside his down-swinging

arm. This pimp with the yellow hat had really

overcompensated for his inadequacies with the monster

blade he was holding. I left him writhing on the

floor, the knife buried to the hilt in his thigh, right

where he had it aimed. The knife had driven clear

through his leg with the tip stuck firmly into the

wooden floor. I knew he wasn't going anywhere for a

while.

I was trying to get Simone free when the third guy

jumped me. He would have had me clean, too, but he

slipped in the shit trying not to get too close. A

little schmutz, and I would have been dead. As it was,

he still got my arm good with the deadly little knife

he was using. I think he thought he had me, now that I

was wounded, but he was wrong. He made the fatal

mistake of letting me get too close to him. Once I'm

in close, well, he died surprised. As I pushed his

lifeless body off me, I gave a start of recognition.

It took me a moment, but I finally placed him. He had

been in some of the pictures Gary had taken of Sally

during her humiliation.

I managed to free Simone using the knife I pulled out

of my forearm. I simply cut her hair free from the

staples and picked her up. They had not tied her arms

and she latched on to my neck with what seemed to be

all her feeble strength. I thought I felt her sob

once, but wasn't sure. Sensing the urgency of flight,

I kept trying to find my way to the stairs but my head

wouldn't seem to work. Every time I tried to look for

the door out of the room, my nose kept turning back to

the same dark corner. I would take a step to turn, and

my head would swing like a compass needle pointing

north. Same damn corner, every time.

I finally realized Simone was yanking on my ear,

forcing me to look at that particular corner.

Understand, I was brain-dead, tired, stabbed and trying

to escape, my survival instincts in complete command.

My mission was over. I had Simone. It was Miller

time. I was like a horse headed for the barn, ASAP. I

did not want to look in that stinking corner.

She was insistent, and my ear was starting to hurt. I

went over to the fucking corner. Nothing. I started

to turn away. My ear just about got torn off.

"What the fucking hell do you want!" I yelled at her in

my mind.

"Please. Hidden. Shiny. Silver. Important," came

the faint reply over our link. It wasn't exactly words

but images. I didn't really understand.

I shuffled around in the debris piled in the corner

until my foot kicked into an aluminum case. It was

heavy, and now my fucking foot hurt, too. I picked it

up with my good hand. Simone grasped my neck tighter,

easing the work I had to do with my injured arm. Where

she got the strength I don't know.

My ear released from her grip, I found an exit. On the

way out and up the stairs, I stumbled. I tripped over

a lit kerosene lamp one of the men had left on the

stairway. It fell to the basement floor and broke

open. The old newspapers that cluttered the floor

caught fire easily. The old dry timbers of the

crumbling warehouse exploded into flames, engulfing the

three bodies in the cellar.

I heard screams as I walked away, carrying Simone. It

didn't bother me at all.

As I cleared the killing zone, as I thought of it, I

had to stop and think where I was. I realized I was

many miles from my car. I was in the middle of an area

I didn't recognize right away. I couldn't see the

stadium. I couldn't see any landmarks or familiar

buildings at all until I got to the next large

intersection. God! I was two towns over from where I

had parked.

It was night, there were no buses running in this part

of town. No taxis were going to stop for me, not with

the way I looked after four days of wandering around,

bleeding from a big gash in my arm and carrying an

unconscious naked stinky little girl. I headed for the

one safe house I knew in this town.

Mac didn't recognize me at first when he opened his

door. I just hoped he would take over now. I

collapsed in his doorway.

Chapter 36

I woke up in a hospital. I knew that before I opened

my eyes. I could smell the familiar antiseptic odors.

My arm felt stiff and sore. I could feel the bandaging

they had used on the stab wound. Oh well, another

battle scar.

I kept my eyes closed and tried to link to Simone. I

was startled to find her so close. She was in the bed

next the chair I was sitting in. Sensing she was safe,

I drifted off to sleep again.

When I woke up again, it was dark. Simone was still

asleep, resting easy. I had been having some very

weird dreams. When I noticed she was holding my

finger, much like Janey had done when I had sat by her

bed, I suspected Simone and I had been communicating

over a similar link between us. I seemed to know her

better now. She was, indeed, a special person.

The dream had seemed so real, interactive. I had been

on a beach, and thousands, millions of others were

there, too. The fine white sand seemed to stretch for

eternity in both directions. When I looked down, I

couldn't focus on the sand around me, but it seemed so

real I could feel it between my toes. Most of the

people along the beach were building sandcastles. Some

castles were bigger than others were, as those people

had others helping them. Some others were struggling

by themselves to build one that could stand against the

relentless waves.

Some people along the beach were raging at the sea,

kicking at the water, trying futilely to keep the waves

from their sandcastles. As I watched, the waves would

come and wash away their castles or the castles of the

people near them. They were trying to stop the waves.

The waves would strike at random. You could never tell

when the waves would come, who would have to start

over, who would be wiped out, or whose castle would be

touched. Some sandcastles were barely touched by the

waves, some the waves wiped out. Wherever the water

touched a sandcastle there was sadness.

Sometimes the people would stop building and just

wander out into the waves, to become a part of the

vastness. Most of us just kept building our castles.

Like I was doing.

I had a bucket in my hand full of sand. When I

examined the sand in the bucket carefully, though, I

saw the grains were made up of the faces of Simone and

Nicole. When I looked at my sandcastle, I and I saw

that the sand there, too, was made up of faces, faces I

knew. I saw my parents, my sister, Sally and Janey.

Mac was there, as were others, some alive, some long

dead. I put the new bucket onto my castle and Nicole's

and Simone's faces became part of the whole.

Looking up, I saw Simone was there on the beach beside

me. The remains of two small ruined sandcastles were

visible beside her as she bravely attempted to build

yet another around the face of her mother. I saw in

her sand the face of an elderly gentleman that I knew

was the man she called Papa. The other man in the

ruins was younger. It looked as if she had kicked that

pile over herself, her tiny footprints visible in the

white sand, long deep scars where she had tried to kick

the face of that evil man away form her. But that

sand, that face, was still a part of her castle, a part

of her.

Simone wasn't raging at the waves as were many others

in less tragic conditions. The waves had touched her

as it had them, yet she persevered. I could also see

she was being very careful now, selecting the material

for her castle with greater care. She stood holding an

empty bucket, another was off to one side. Janey's

face was in her castle now, the new sand still bright

and shiny. I could see my face in the bucket she had

set aside. She was scared to mix it in with her

mother's sand. Unsure.

Suddenly, in my dream, I was telling a story, teaching

a history class. When I would turn to look at the

students, they would all have the same face, the face

of Simone. All of them asked different questions,

throwing them at me faster than I could answer as if

time was running out. I tried to answer as many as I

could, but some of them I knew I wasn't allowed to

answer, secrets from my past I could not share. Some

of the questions were easy. Some were hard. Others I

didn't know the answers to. The bell rang and the

questions stopped.

We were back on the beach. Simone was turning to me

smiling. Both buckets were empty. My face was in her

castle. I waved my hands and a space opened in the

walls of my own castle. When I looked around I could

see that Sally had her castle right next to mine, each

adding support to the other. Janey's was there, too,

as was Nicole's. I invited Simone to place her own

castle within the protection of mine, of my family's.

I could tell she wanted to, but she was hesitant,

afraid. It was not a feeling she was used to.

We were in the delicate and difficult process of moving

her sandcastle closer to mine when I woke up.

I tried to sit up. A pair of strong hands was there

immediately to help me.

"I called your house. Janey answered. She said to

tell you someone named `Bala' came over to help out.

Said you would want to know everything is OK and that

Sally is still in the basement, whatever that means.

Nicole, whoever she is, is awake and responsive and

didn't need to go the hospital. Now that you know

everything is OK, Lar, you want to tell me just what

the fuck's going on? Who are all those people?"

I relaxed as I heard the rapid-fire reassurances from

my friend. All the little things I hadn't been able to

think of, he had. Damn, it was good to hear his voice.

I smiled. "Mac! You should really watch your language

around impressionable young kids, you know?" Mac had

grown up on the streets in a very rough neighborhood.

Ever since high school I had ribbed him about his rough

language, helping him smooth out some rough edges. In

return, he taught me to fight dirty and about the hard

facts of life in the real world. We both learned and

improved, better individuals for our friendship.

He punched my arm, the good one. "Damn you, Lar, I've

been stuck in here for three days waiting for you to

wake up and tell them I had nothing to do with this.

Whatever this is. What is this, anyway, and who the

Hell are you and what have you done with my friend

Larry Sampson?"

"Oh, God, Mac, where do I start..."

"He can't tell you."

The two of us turned our heads as one to look at the

clear, sweet voice coming from the bed. Simone was

awake.

She repeated, "He can't tell you. He has integrity."

She said that last word as if it were the most

important thing in the world that a man could have.

She may be right.

"Damn, Lar, who is the beautiful woman who uses big

words with such a lovely accent?"

"Excuse my manners. Mac, this is Simone. Simone,

Mac."

He stuck out his hand, "Hi, Simone." His trademark

grin that had won him more than one fair maiden lit up

his face.

"Pleased to meet you, Monsieur Mac." She said his name

with her delightful accent, and giggled at his response

to her. I had seen Mac in many situations, but I had

never seen him this flustered. I swear, he even

blushed.

"I can get her to explain any big words you don't

understand, OK, lughead?"

"Fuck you!"

"Monsieur Mac!" That reprimand came from her, followed

by another laugh. I had never observed that particular

behavior they called coquettish before, but it was

truly amazing to see this teenaged girl keep Mac tongue-

tied and off balance.

After several minutes of valiantly waging a losing

battle, he turned to me for rescue. "Help me out here,

please! So help me God, I want to take her home with

me. But if you dare tell CeCe I said that, I'll make

you pay for our lunches for the next 10 years."

"I'm tempted to tell you to go fuck yourself, Mac," I

laughed, grinning at him. "But I don't think I could

afford you for the next 10 years with your new

contract." Mac had gone on a tear at the plate the

last month of the season. It hadn't been enough to get

the team into the play-offs, but it sure brought up the

gate receipts, which is what counts. He had been

expected to just be a part-time replacement for an

injured player. He had far out-performed expectations.

I knew he would, given the chance.

When the opposing pitchers kept getting hit, they

started walking him. Trouble with that was that Mac

firmly believed in scoring. Baseball to him was

simple. You get on, you score. He brought an exciting

sandlot quality to an aging team, invigorating the

whole team in the process. If you walked him to first,

he would steal the next three bases, including home

plate. The fans loved it. So did management. They

had just signed him to a huge contract for the next 3

seasons.

"Lawrence, is he OK?" Simone asked quietly.

I knew what she meant. Was he safe to have in her

sandcastle? Would he hurt her, leaving her to trample

more sand?

"Uh, `Monsieur Mac', as you have dubbed him, is my

closest and best friend. I would, and have, trusted

him with my life and yours. I hope someday you will

find a friend as good as he is to me. I can't tell you

if he will be good for you, but I would bet he would

be. That decision has to be up to you. Always."

"It is frightening, Lawrence. How can I be sure who to

trust?"

"Trust your mother. Trust Sally. Trust Janey. Learn

from them, watch them, see how they measure people, who

they let into their lives."

"But Gary, and that other man..." she didn't finish.

"Don't hold your mother responsible for Gary, Simone.

Sally fell for him, too. We all need to learn from our

mistakes and the mistakes of others."

"I know." She looked up at Mac with her sparkling blue

eyes, her decision made. I knew he was a goner. He

was going to be a part of her sandcastle whether he

liked it or not. Something told me he wouldn't mind.

CeCe's opinion was another matter, but one bridge at a

time.

A first for Mac, he had not interrupted this short

exchange. He was puzzled at some things we were

saying, others began to make sense.

"So, anybody want to tell me what you were doing on my

doorstep covered in blood and shit? Can you tell me

that much?"

I looked over at Simone, who nodded for me to tell him.

"Remember a couple of weeks ago, that serial killer

they caught?"

He nodded, shuddering at the reminder. It was still

fresh in most people's minds. Even with his tough

background, some things still touched you hard.

"He was Sally's boyfriend before she kicked him out."

"You mean the one where she just about shot apart her

house when she kicked him out, oh about four or five

years ago?"

"You knew about that and didn't tell me?"

"Well, yeah, CeCe told me but she said Sally would tell

you. I thought you knew. Honest!"

"Thanks, buddy. Thanks a lot. Anything else you want

to tell me about my fianc‚e before I start?"

He shook his head sheepishly. I knew he hadn't meant

to keep it from me. I continued the abridged version

and told him the story about Sally and Gary, then of us

seeing Gary, Nicole and Simone together at the

symphony. I told him what I had done to set Gary up,

just not the connections I used or how I had made them.

He assumed they were from my financial clients. I let

him.

I also glossed over exactly why Nicole and Simone were

staying with us, and what led to Simone running away,

just that there were some adjustment issues around the

house to work out. Then I turned to Simone and asked

her to tell both of us what had happened from that

point, as I was curious, too.

Simone lowered her eyes and spoke to her hands, which

were folded on her lap. Her voice was clear and her

words concise, no fear apparent in them.

"I was so jealous of Janey. She is so beautiful and

her dance was perfect. I will never be like her. She

has so many friends. It is so hard for me to speak

with people my own age, especially the boys. I try,

but I always say the wrong things and make them feel

stupid. I don't mean to. For Janey it is so easy.

Everyone likes Janey.

"I was angry at her for being so perfect. I did

something awful. I told one of her friends, a boy she

really liked, something that made him not like her. It

was a lie. She found out. It hurt her, and she cried

at night for several nights. She did not hate me,

though, and that made me feel so small. In fact, she

tried harder, spending more time with me, helping me.

I had never done anything like that before, to try to

hurt someone. It made me feel so dirty inside. It

shamed me.

"I know she tried so hard to make me feel welcome, but

it was still her room, her home. I missed my things,

too. You took us in to your home to help us, but it

was not my home. Mama felt the same way, a little.

Please understand, we were grateful for the help you

gave to us, but it hurt our pride to need it.

"I was angry with Mama, too, for saying those ugly

things about Janey. It was not the first time. Mama

isn't like that, really. Please do not hate her,

Lawrence, she is very frightened and alone. She needs

to have a man such as you take care of her. But she

kept saying bad things, worse and worse. I think she

was afraid you would not want me around with Janey so

perfect, so she tried to make her less perfect by

saying those things about her. I warned her that Mist-

, er, Sally was becoming angry with her. She didn't

care.

"Then after the dance Mama said that horrible thing

about Janey. My Mama is bigger and stronger than

Sally, but I have never seen such a rage in a person.

I wanted to stop her from hurting Mama, but I couldn't

move my feet. It happened so fast, too. I could feel

Sally's rage with that thing Janey showed me. The

intensity of her madness terrified me and kept me from

moving. I was ashamed to be so weak and useless when

my Mama needed me most.

"When that nice couple left, I hid on the back of their

car. I am sorry for running away, Lawrence. I did not

mean to go. I did not mean to cause you so much

trouble. I thought if I were not there, Mama would not

have to worry about you not wanting me around. If I

were not there, I would not have to live with Janey and

be compared to her perfection. At least, that's what I

told myself later, as we both know those are just

excuses, really. In all honesty, at the time, I did

not think at all, Lawrence. For once in my life that I

can remember, I did not think. I just did it.

"I had gone outside to get away from the things in my

head. I could still hear Mama screaming. I could

sense Sally's rage. I could feel the thump of Mama's

body as she was pulled down the stairs. I could feel

the hairs pulling out of her head. I had to get away,

as far from the pain and screaming and rage as

possible. I am sorry I was so weak.

"Their car was leaving and I ran and jumped on. I

didn't think. I had to do it before it got too far

away and once I took that first step, I was flying. I

have never felt so free before. I was doing something

without planning it out. Without knowing what would

happen. My heart was racing from the excitement and

the wind felt wonderful on my face. Such exhilaration

I have never felt before. I was free!

"The first part of the ride was like a magic carpet. I

was gliding along. Then the went too fast and I got

frightened. I couldn't see the exit signs because my

eyes would water in the wind. The temperature dropped

as it got dark and I got cold. I kept my eyes closed

most of the ride so I didn't know what road I was on.

I got off at the first stop of the car, but by then, I

was cold and lost. I didn't know where I was. I

started walking towards the lights of the big sports

arena and the music, looking for a telephone or a

store. A big van drove by me as I was walking along, I

think maybe twice. The second time it went by then

backed up. I was so cold, I was shaking.

"A nice man in the van asked me if I would like a ride.

I said no. He said just get in to get warm, it was

cold out tonight, and it looked like rain. He said he

would just drive me around to find a telephone, then

bring me back to where I was standing. I said no. He

asked me if I was hungry. I am sorry for all the

trouble I have caused you, Lawrence, but I was so cold

and hungry. I did not eat at the dinner, I had been

too excited with all the new things Bala was teaching

us. The nice man pulled a big sandwich out of a bag

and took a bite. I could smell it though the open

window. The juices dripped down his chin and he

reminded me of Papa. Just a little. It looked so

good. I am sorry, but I got in.

"He started driving around. I wrapped up in a blanket

in the back, as far from him as I could. It was so

nice and warm. He gave me a cup of hot chocolate, to

help me warm up first, he said. It tasted funny and I

think he had put something in it. But it was warm and

I drank it all. I felt a little funny later, but not

bad. I suddenly didn't care if he didn't take me to a

telephone or back to where he picked me up anymore.

"He made a phone call while we were driving around. I

didn't pay any attention to where we were going. I

felt like I was floating. I didn't care about anything

anymore. Soon we were far away from the sports arena.

He stopped the van by another car on this dark street

with all these broken buildings. An ugly man in a

yellow hat looked at me and made an ugly laugh. I

didn't like him. He handed the nice man some money.

Suddenly the door I was leaning against was yanked

open. A big man ripped the blanket away from me. I

felt the cold again and I screamed. He hit me. Then

he stuck a needle in my leg.

"I woke up where you found me. I felt you coming, I

think, but I had to hide. They..., they did bad things

to me. I got thirsty, and they peed in my mouth. When

I got hungry, they backed up to my face and defecated

on me. The other men, they always kept coming and

using me, in my mouth, in my bottom, everywhere. They

paid money to the man in the yellow hat to use me.

"When you found me, they were getting ready to move me

to another place. The man said someone had paid cash

for me and I was going far away, w
