Prologue:

 

Moonlight dappled the dark, smooth surface of the lake, and something large made a quiet plunking sound as it broke the still water, somewhere out in the blackness. A huge, naked man dragged the brutalized carcass of what was once a pretty teenage girl named Jessica carelessly along a rotting old dock that jutted out ov

er the water. The full, silvery moon gave him light enough to pick his way, carefully stepping around loose, spongy boards to avoid falling through.

 

There were things in this lake even he was wary of.  

 

He came to the edge of the dock and inhaled the night air deeply, expanding his massive chest. Except for the water lapping at the dock, all was quiet. Few animals ever snuck out of the woods to drink or hunt here, and those that braved the lake only did so out of desperation.  And the people that built the camp where he lived, and this dock; they all disappeared long ago.

 

Another human hadn’t willingly stepped in these still woods in years.

 

A sharp, gore-stained hunting knife glittered in his free hand. More drying blood covered his naked body from head to toe. The faint smell of the blood and the dead meat he carried would attract those that lived in the lake, driving them into a blood-frenzy; but that was expected. The man was not afraid or overly concerned; he had made the offering many times before.

 

The scars covering his body would protect him with their magic, for a time. Not long, but time enough to finish his grisly chore, and keep the nameless things he served appeased for yet another day.

 

The splash came again, but louder, and now joined by another, and yet another, jarring the man from his reverie. He shook himself from the daze and reversed the knife in his grip, then bent over the body and stabbed the blade deep into the dead girls’ cold, mutilated flesh.

 

Her glazed eyes seemed to stare up at him, pleading. Vexed, he cut the eyes out of their sockets and threw them into the water for the waiting, hungry things to fight over. Then he gutted the body like a fish, working slowly and methodically, hacking off thick chunks of the pale flesh and tossing the offal into the water.

 

Instantly, the mirror surface around the dock turned into a frothing, churning mass of gnashing fangs.

 

The whorls of scar tissue covering his hairless body glowed red, then white-hot as the things fed. He whistled to himself while he finished his grisly chore, finally filling the corpses’ empty belly with heavy stones, and tossing the remains into the lake.

 

He watched her sink in a bloody cloud. He knew that even the bones would be gone by morning.

 

The man wiped sweat and blood from his eyes and started back to camp. The work had aroused him. The moon was still bright, calling him, and he still had two more pretty toys to play with before eventually, they too would find their ultimate fate at the water’s edge.

  

***

 

            “There’s a rest stop up ahead.”

 

            Mary’s husband Gus pointed at the faded, bullet-pocked green road sign as they passed.

 

            “Half a mile.” He turned to her and stretched, scratching at what was left of his wispy-grey hair. “Up for a break?”

 

            “I sure am.”

 

            Mary rubbed her tired, drooping eyes with the heel of her hand, trying to wipe away the scratchy, itchy-burning sensation that felt like sandpaper under her eyelids. It didn’t help. Hadn’t for hours, really. She was half-asleep, driving by instinct. Only Gus’s rip-saw snores from the passenger seat had kept her awake these last several miles. He’d finally mumbled something incoherent about pumpkins and woke up when she rolled down her window to get some fresh air.

 

            It was dusk; the purple streaks from the sunset were fading black, and the thick growth of trees lining the steep embankment blotted out what was left of the sunlight. She inhaled the cool night breeze blowing through the car and smelled the moist air from the creek running along the bottom of the hillside to their right.

 

They were on their way back North to Seattle from California, after a two-week visit with their daughter Jenny and her family. They loved the kids dearly, but after two weeks of hyper, sugar-fueled grandchildren; the non-stop, go-go-go to every theme park, marina, and beach in the state, as well as all of the other things they had cram in on the visit…

 

Mary knew they were finally getting old. Maybe they didn’t need the bifocal reading glasses yet (well, not her, anyway. Gus had his reading glasses stuck on top of his head and was rubbing the sore-looking red welts at the bridge of his nose), but they were both definitely on the cusp, on the slow downhill slide after fifty. And after two weeks away, they were both flat-out exhausted and perfectly glad to be getting home.

 

And to top it off, as if someone had to prove the point, just as they were crossing the border into Oregon, Mary took a wrong turn. They’d wound up winding through the mountains instead of going the easy way, straight up I-5. They just laughed when they finally figured out what happened. Not too big of a deal – they were still heading in generally the right direction, and the drive was nice and scenic.

 

Mary smiled at the memory of her grandkids as Gus pointed out the entrance to the rest stop. Gus grinned back at her with his own crooked smile; the very same one that had charmed her so when they met, way back in college. The only difference being that now, when Gus smiled at her, his face wrinkled up like a prune.

 

            Good Lord, she realized. We’re already old farts...

 

            “Penny for your thoughts?”

 

            He reached over the cup-holder and patted her hand. She looked down and was happy to note that the skin on her arms and the backs of her hands was still smooth and soft, tanned an even nut-brown from lying by the pool in Jenny’s backyard. No age spots yet.

 

            “Just wondering: why is it that I’m always more tired when we get back from a vacation than I was before we left?”

 

            Gus laughed. “Nobody ever said vacations were relaxing.”

 

            Mary giggled and pulled into an open space not far from an old brick bathroom and stopped the car next to a new, reflective sign set into the curb that listed the rules of the rest stop: No skateboarding, No overnight camping, No alcohol. All animals must be leashed. Above the sign was a map showing the layout of the area. The parking lot was shaped like a U, with another, larger parking strip hidden behind, back through the trees, past the day park and picnic tables.

 

            She turned off the ignition, sank back in the leather seat and sighed. Except for their car and a large 18-wheeler idling near the exit, the rest area was empty. Not a lot of traffic followed this route anymore. When the last of the sunlight faded away, automatic lights ticked on, illuminating the bathrooms and the parking strip. They opened the car doors and stepped out into the night air.

 

            “Oh, that’s better,” Gus groaned with relief and knuckled the small of his back.

 

            Suddenly, Mary’s bladder was near to bursting. All the coffee she’d sipped during the drive was ready to gush down her legs if she didn’t get to a toilet, fast.

 

            “I’ll be right back,” she said over her shoulder.

 

            “H’okay. I’ll just mosey around out here a bit.”

 

            The restroom was gloomy and dark and stank of old urine. Years worth of graffiti and old, brown cobwebs defaced the brick, the mirrors above the chipped sinks were just broken frames, and most of the lights were either flickering or out altogether. Moths and gnats swirled around the one steady bulb encased in a protective mesh above the door.

 

            Mary wrinkled her little nose. How quaint, she grimaced. It’s worse than going camping and having to poop out in the dirt.

 

None of the stalls had doors, two of the toilets had overflowed, and all of them faced the open doorway leading out to the parking lot.

 

            Eww. Yuck, yuck, yuck. Mary sighed and checked the last stall.

 

To her amazement, it was relatively clean and almost seemed in good repair. At least there wasn’t a pool of smelly brown water that she’d have to wade through in order to do her business, like the others. There were even a few scraps of rough brown toilet paper left on the roll. On the off-chance her luck would hold up, Mary checked, but there were no paper seat covers left in the dispenser. Not that it really mattered anyway. What was left of the lid to the toilet was cracked and chipped, and half of it was torn away.

 

            Oh well, she thought, pulling the hem of her light summer dress up to her hips. Beggars can’t be choosers.

 

            She pulled down her panties, and holding her dress up with one hand, squatted; awkwardly bracing herself by holding onto the paper dispenser and trying to lean over the bowl without actually touching it with her butt. And of course, she managed to lose her balance and almost fall in.

 

            Mary caught herself before there was any damage, and rolled her eyes.

 

            If Gus could see me now, I’d never hear the end of it.

 

She balanced on the lip of the cold, slimy bowl and sighed as the aching pressure in her bladder eased. While she pee’d, a toilet in the men’s room flushed, and she heard water running through the old pipes in the wall behind her.

 

Someone whistled and a long shadow slipped past outside, pausing at the open doorway. Mary closed her eyes and folded her dress over her knees, hoping no one would peek through the door while she tinkled. Anyone walking by the restroom door right then would get an eye-full, and the glare from the outside lights blinded her to anyone who might be watching.

 

            The whistling continued outside, and there was the click of a lighter, and a quick flash of light. Mary sniffed, smelled cigarette smoke. Then she heard heavy footsteps on the cement walkway, receding away from the restrooms towards the back parking lot.

 

Mary wiped quickly with the remaining bits of toilet paper and flushed. A few minutes later she walked briskly back to the car, shaking cold water from her hands. Gus was waving at the truck driver, who honked back and pulled the noisy rig out onto the old highway.

 

            She glanced around, feeling strangely uncomfortable, like she was being watched. But the lot was completely deserted now, other than Gus, who scratched his bald head as she approached.

 

            Leave it to Gus to make a friend out here in the middle of nowhere. I wish I could do that.

 

Mary smiled at her husband, attributing the feeling to coffee jitters and the long drive. She nodded at the truck as it melted into the darkness. “New buddy?”

 

            “That was a fella named Max. Max Davidson. Used to work at the railroad with old Elmer Cole, back when I was stationed in Tacoma. Small world, huh?” He grinned at her over the roof of the car. “Ready to get moving?”

 

            “Yep. Did you take a potty-break?”

 

            “Potty-break?” Gus laughed out loud. “Hon, you’ve been around the grandkids too long.”

 

            She laughed too, and unlocked the car. Gus looked concerned as she fumbled with the keys.

 

            “You want me to drive for a spell?”

 

            “I think I’m okay.”

 

            “Okey-dokey. I’ll keep the coffee coming just in case.”

 

            “Good. I knew there was a reason I kept you around all these years.”

 

            They laughed together and buckled in. Mary turned the key in the ignition and they eased back onto the highway. In the rearview mirror, Mary noticed another pair of headlights flicker on and follow them out of the parking lot. Barely a mile down the road, she heard the siren wailing. Blue and red lights suddenly spun in the rearview-mirror and headlights flashed, making her squint with the glare.

 

            “Oh, no.”

 

            “What?” Gus turned around in his seat to look.

 

            “The police, or a sheriff, or whatever. We’re getting pulled over.”

 

            “That’d be the state police, I think. Well, that’s a damn fine thing. What’d we do? Make an illegal turn?”

 

            “I don’t know.”

 

            Mary eased to a stop on the lip of the road. Gravel crunched under the car’s tires, and she set the parking break. Next to Gus on the passenger side of the car was a sheer drop; easily a hundred feet straight down to the creek gurgling in the darkness below.

 

The other vehicle pulled up about twenty yards behind them, and a bright spotlight illuminated the interior of their car, blinding them both.

 

            “What the hell...”

 

            Gus lurched back down in his seat, blinking spots out of his eyes. Mary jumped as someone smacked the butt-end of a flashlight on her window. She groped blindly until she found the switch and rolled it down. She squinted, peering out at the huge, tall man standing next to her. She held up a hand to shield her eyes from the glare of the spotlight, but he snapped on the flashlight and Mary found herself blinking again, unable to see anything but the vague outline of his face behind a pair of dark glasses.

 

            “Can I help you officer?”

 

            She was greeted with stony silence as the officer played the flashlight over Gus and the front seat, then the back of the car.

 

            “Turn off the car and take the key out of the ignition, please. License and registration, ma’am.”

 

            “Um, okay. Let me find it...” Mary turned the key in the ignition. She dropped the key-ring in a cupholder and flipped down the sun-visor. “May I ask what the trouble is...?”

 

            The flashlight snapped back to her, and then to Gus, who was rooting around in the glove compartment. “Sir, keep your hands on the dashboard, please.”

 

            “Oh, sure. Sorry, but I thought we stuck the new registration in here...”

 

            “Just keep them where I can see them.”

 

            Gus looked at Mary, who shrugged. She found the paperwork and handed everything to the officer through the window. He snatched them from her and the light danced back and forth, from her face to her license and back. The officer grunted.

 

            “Stay in the vehicle. I need to…call this in.”

 

            He spun on his heel and stomped back to his car.

 

            “Gus, what’s going on? What did we do?”

 

            Mary was shaking. Her husband smiled reassuringly.

 

            “It’s probably just a routine stop, hon. Don’t worry. We didn’t do anything. It’ll be fine. I...”

 

            Heavy footsteps crunched outside the Mary’s window.

 

            “Ma’am? Please open the trunk of the vehicle.”

 

            “Wh-what?”

 

            “Pop the trunk please. The back of the car.”

 

            “But...why? I don’t understand.”

 

            “There was a drug bust at a truck stop on Highway 84 about an hour ago. Several vehicles carrying suspects were seen leaving the scene. Witnesses described one vehicle with an older man and a woman driving that match your descriptions, and your license plate number. Now, please pop the trunk.”

 

            “This is absurd! Officer, we haven’t done anything wrong!”

 

            “Ma’am, I won’t ask you again. Pop the trunk. Do it now, or I’ll arrest both of you.”

 

            Gus shook his head, dumbfounded. Mary reached between her legs, found the trunk lever with trembling fingertips, and pulled. The blinding light eased as the trunk opened, and both Gus and Mary sighed with relief. They listened to the officer rooting around in back. The trunk slammed shut a moment later, and they were blinded again.

 

The officer stomped back. He held several small plastic baggies in a gloved hand, all of them full of fluffy white powder. He unholstered his weapon with his free hand.

 

            “What’s this?”

 

            Gus stared open-mouthed, flabbergasted. “B-but...that’s not ours! We didn’t...”

 

            The officer pocketed the baggies and yanked open Mary’s door. He waved at her with the gun. “Ma’am, please step out of the car. Sir, stay right where you are, keep your hands on the dash. Do you understand?”

 

            Gus gulped and nodded. He was shaking as Mary stepped outside. The officer took her roughly by the arm and spun her around.

 

            “Both hands on the car. Right now.”

 

            Mary burst into tears, but bent at the waist and did what she was told. Her feet were kicked wide apart, and then a gloved hand was moving over her body, under her armpits, down her sides, over her hips and back up again. The officer bunched up her skirt and patted between her thighs, ran his hand over her stomach, up to her breasts.

 

            “S-stop it! Please! We didn’t do anything! We...”

 

            Inside the car, Gus watched the officer frisk his wife, watched her cry with shame as he groped her full breasts. He pounded his fists on the dash, feeling totally, completely helpless. The officer yanked Mary’s arms behind her back and handcuffed her, grinning lewdly as he locked the metal bracelets tightly around her wrists.

 

            “Goddammit, you bastard! I don’t care who you are! Leave her alone, or I’ll...”

 

            Gus opened his door and tried to step out, but Mary had parked so close to the cliff his foot dangled out above open air. Vertigo made his head spin as he leaned out over the precipice. Gus jerked back inside and tried to crawl across the seat, but the officer was already there, waiting for him.

 

Gus froze, the cold barrel of the gun pressed hard against his forehead.

 

            “Oh. Oh no.”

 

            Gus blinked once before the officer fired. His head exploded like a ripe melon, splattering blood and brains out the open passenger door and all over the interior of the car. What was left of Gus jerked backwards, then slumped forward into Mary’s seat, blood still spurting from the ragged wound.

 

            Mary screamed and fell to her knees. She crawled through the dirt and the gravel, scraping her knees raw trying to reach her husband.

 

A heavy boot planted itself in the middle of her back and pushed her flat to the ground. Vaguely, as if from far off, she heard someone whistling. Then a strong, gloved hand clamped a smelly rag to face, covering her mouth and nose. Mary screamed again, inhaling putrid fumes, and her world slowly turned black.

 

            The officer grinned and bent into the car, casually pushed the corpse out of his way. He found the keys and stuck them in the ignition, then started the car and braced the gas pedal down with a stick. The engine revved loudly. He put the car in gear and unset the hand-break. The officer calmly lit a cigarette and inhaled deeply, blowing smoke out his nose as the car rolled off the embankment and crashed into the creek below.

 

            He smoked the cigarette down to the filter and tossed the burning embers after the car. Then he picked up the old bitch and threw her lightly over his shoulder. He whistled as he carried her back to his cruiser.

 

            A fireball exploded into the night sky, and the ground shook as he drove away.

 

***

 

            Mary woke up with a pounding headache, handcuffed and gagged in the filthy back seat of a car. Her feet were bound loosely and someone had thrown a dirty blanket over her. The car was moving slowly down an old, unused dirt road.

 

Mary bounced around uncomfortably as they seemed to hit every pothole in the road. The rough jostling had aroused her out of her drugged stupor. She could see stars through the treetops, the moon full and luminous in the clouds above.

 

            Eventually, they stopped.

 

            The officer got out of the car, and Mary listened to him light a cigarette and walk around to the side door. A few moments later the door by her head opened, and she was being dragged out of the backseat as if she weighed no more than a child. The officer set her on her feet and gave her a shove.

 

            “Walk, bitch.”

 

            She tripped over the ropes around her ankles, but managed to stumble forward towards a rotten wood overhang above dilapidated old benches, tables and fire pits. There were a few small A-frame style cabins scattered around the site, their moss-covered roofs caving in.

 

The officer guided her to one of the picnic tables. A small lantern hung from a peg in the wall, illuminating the area for a few feet. He made her walk up to the edge of the table and spun her around.

 

            “Sit down.”

 

            Mary sat on the edge of the rough wood, and he pushed her back onto the table. She shook her head, moaning into the gag.

 

 The officer took a large hunting knife from a sheath at his belt and sliced through the heavy rope binding her ankles. The cigarette dangled from the corner of his lips as he worked, smoke drifting up, obscuring his features. Mary grunted again through her gag and tried to kick at him, but the officer punched her hard in the stomach, knocking the wind out of her.

 

He sneered and brandished his blade, scraping her cheek with the sharp edge.

 

“Try that again, bitch, and I’ll hack of your tits and feed them to you.”

 

Mary gasped and struggled for breath as he tied her securely, spread-eagled to iron rings set into the legs at each side of the table. He tugged at the ropes and grunted with satisfaction. His knees popped loudly as he straightened.

 

“Almost done.” He stabbed the tip of the knife into the table next to her. “Remember – you fuck with me now, and I’ll hurt you, bad. Understand me?”

 

Mary managed to nod, terrified. He took a key ring from his belt then rolled her halfway over and unlocked the handcuffs. The officer stretched her arms above her head and handcuffed her to another ring at the top of the table.

 

            Then he stood back and smiled, blowing cigarette smoke from the side of his mouth. He ran his finger over her face, down her belly. He yanked the knife out of the table and walked over to a rack of tools mounted on the wall.

 

            “So pretty,” he whispered, sheathing the knife. “So pretty.”

 

            He took something from the rack. Mary strained her neck to see, but his broad back blocked her view. Then he flicked his wrist, and the long, supple, barbed tails of a whip slithered in the dirt. He turned to her, raising his arm above his head, and brought it down hard, snapping the whip and raking bloody furrows across her abdomen.

 

            Mary shrieked into the gag, her back arching and her body writhing with the sudden, overwhelming pain.

 

He came back to her and stood between her open legs. He took the knife in hand again, and Mary squeezed her eyes shut and panted as he cut her dress open from the hem of her skirt up past her breasts. The officer gasped with pleasure at her bare flesh, and licked his lips. He ran his hands slowly over her prone body, squeezing and probing.

 

His leather gloves were rough against her soft skin. She cried and whimpered when he prodded at the gashes in her belly.

 

            “So pretty. Now, let’s see those big, old bitch titties...”

 

            He flicked away the cigarette butt and cut through the thin band between the cups of her bra. He gently lay open the soft, lacy material, bent over her and bit her left nipple hard, making her cry out. He moved from one nipple to the other, squeezing her breasts, biting and chewing at her soft flesh. Fresh tears ran down her dirt-streaked face.

 

            “So pretty...”

 

            He unbuttoned the uniform shirt, threw it onto another table, then unbuckled his belt and dropped his pants around his feet. His massive cock stood out from his hairless body, huge and throbbing. It had the same, tiny circles of scars that circled his chest and legs, covering the rest of his body. It looked somehow diseased; deformed and mangled like a gnarled tree limb.

 

Mary whimpered as the knife ripped into her panties. He cut them off and threw them over her face, rubbed the inside of her thighs with the cold, sharp steel of his knife.

 

“You like my knife, don’t you bitch? Can’t take your eyes off it.” He scraped the edge through her soft thatch of pubic hair. “How’d you like me to fuck you with it? Think that’d be nice, if I jab it into that pretty coo of yours?”

 

He poked the tip into her cunt. Mary screamed and jerked in her bonds until she was breathless, but he just laughed and stabbed the knife tip-first into the table. Then he bent and began lapping at her cunt, licking her pussy like a thirsty dog.

 

“Mmmm.” He stood and smacked his lips. “Tasty.”

 

            Mary cried when he pressed the tip of his mammoth shaft into her sopping cunt. He roughly shoved himself inside her with a few hard strokes and fucked her, ignoring her screams. She rocked her body and jerked up and down; trying to dislodge him, but her efforts only excited him more.

 

            “Mmm…” He moaned with pleasure and wrapped his huge hands around her neck. He squeezed until Mary’s vision blurred and he climaxed violently inside her.

 

            The officer twitched once, twice, and then collapsed on top of her, letting his cock shrivel up in her pussy. After some time, he stirred from his stupor, and his hand found the smooth leather grip of his whip.

 

            Time for more fun, he thought, pushing away from her.

 

He cracked the whip and dragged the spiked tails over Mary’s chest, tearing her soft, milky skin, leaving more bloody gashes. She screamed her throat raw as he whipped her again and again. He grinned as her pussy muscles clamped around his cock, kneading him hard.

 

            “So, so pretty.” He whispered. “I just wish we had more time together.”

 

            She bounced and squirmed underneath him, exciting him. His cock was throbbing inside her again. He bent and licked at her bloody cuts.

 

            The whip cracked again.

 

            As the moon set, Mary’s screams faded to hoarse whispers, and eventually, as the morning sun appeared, finally stopped altogether.

 

***

 

            Jessica and April cut out of school early, skipping their last period class, and took the bus to the mall. Their new, eight-grade motto was simple: why sit and listen to stupid, boring teachers with a bunch of zit-faced dorks, when you can hang out at the food court at the mall with the cool high-school kids?

 

            No contest. The mall won that battle hands down. They’d forge themselves excuse notes later; now it was time to split. They left most of their homework at school too; instead of heavy books and folders tucked into their backpacks, the girls carried the so-uncool clothes they were wearing when they left their houses that morning.

 

            Now they were both dressed in cute half-shirts to better show off their matching new belly button rings. April wore a sexy black mini-skirt that showed off her round little ass, high heels, and a lime-green t-shirt torn away at the sleeves and the neck. She had to keep pulling an errant bra strap back up her shoulder as they walked. Jessica was wearing a pair of faded hip-hugger jeans that were getting nice and worn out in the butt, a pair of fuck-me high heels that would’ve given her repressed, born-again mother fits, and a tight pink t-shirt with a slogan nice girls do it doggy-style splashed across her heavy, round breasts.

 

            Puberty came big-time for them both this year. Jessica especially – her boobs specifically. They were huge, and she knew she was the hot thing in school right now. She liked how the boys at school turned pink when they stared at her tits, trying to read her shirts. She had a whole drawer full of them hidden at home.

 

Her mom hated how she dressed, but what the fuck? She was an old prude anyway. April’s mom, too. That’s why they had to leave the house in their stupid nice-girl clothes, and change in the bathroom at the mini-mart every day before going to school.

 

            They got to the mall and hopped off the bus around three that afternoon, dodging around a cop car parked next to the bus stop. They wandered around, but there was hardly anybody there yet, so they decided to shop for a little while and go back later. They spent some time wandering from store to store, giggling at the old people before sneaking into the lingerie shop.

 

            That’s about when April noticed the guy in the brown uniform. He looked like a security guy or something, and he was following them. She pointed him out to Jessica as they walked into the shop.

 

“Look!” She pointed, then turned quickly away. “Jesus! He’s coming in here!”

 

“Omigawd!” Jessica laughed. “Shh! Here her comes!”

 

April giggled and grabbed a tiny, lacy black bra off a rack and turned to the guy, batting her eyes up into his mirrored sunglasses.

 

            “Hey, mister!” She teased, modeling for him. “How d’you think I’d look in this? Cute, huh?”

 

            The guy never even cracked a smile. He just stared. So weird, April thought. She pursed her lips and stuck out her chest, gave him her best pouty look and tried again.

 

            “Wouldn’t you like to see me in it?”

 

He stayed quiet, but reached over and gave the bra a little tweak, spreading the gauzy material out with his huge fingers. His scarred knuckles lightly brushed April’s nipple, and a little, electric thrill shot through her body.

 

“How old are you girls?”

 

“Sixteen.” April lied. She smacked her gum and did a little twirl for him, giving him a quick glimpse of smooth, tan thighs and white panties. “So, what do you think?”

 

“Sixteen? Well, then. Hmm. I don’t know. Let’s see…”

 

He looked down at her tits, then back into her eyes. April’s whole body started to tingle. Jessica bounced from one foot to another as they stared each other down. Finally, he grinned at them both.

 

“Well, yeah. I guess I would.”

 

Their mouths dropped open. April felt the tingle spread down between her legs, and suddenly she needed to pee. A pretty blond saleswoman walked over from another corner of the store and asked if she could help. The guy stared at the saleswoman, down at the gold nametag pinned to her jacket, then back at the girls.

 

“Well.” He grinned at April like they were old friends. “Are you going to pay for that?”

 

            April chewed her gum nervously, shot a confused look at Jessica.

 

            “Uh, I was just kidding around. I don’t have any money.”

 

            “Oh.” He turned back to the saleswoman. “Miss? Um...Cindy?”

 

            Cindy smiled uncertainly, wondering what the hell was going on here, wondering if the big cop had caught a pair of shoplifters for her.

 

“Yes?” She raised her eyebrows expectantly.

 

            The man took a brown leather wallet from his back pocket, flipped it open and shuffled through a thick ream of bills with his gloved fingers. He handed her six or seven crisp hundred dollar bills.

 

“This should cover whatever my…daughters want. If you could help them while I finish my shopping?”

 

            The clerk raised her eyebrows even higher, but took the cash. “Uh, sure. Okay. Is there anything else I can help you with…?” She drifted off.

 

            “No. Thanks.” He looked at April and Jessica, who stared back at him, totally confused. “Get anything you want girls. I’ll see you later.”

 

            He spun on his heel and clomped out of the store. They all watched him leave.

 

            “Well.” Cindy crossed one arm under her breasts, fanning herself with the money. “What tickles your fancy today, ladies?”

 

            April stared at Jessica.

 

            “Oh, shit! He was serious!”

 

            They both broke into huge grins, and for the rest of the afternoon, hot, sexy panties and lacy push-up bra’s flew off the racks. By the time the mall closed at six, the girls were weighted down with shopping bags full of sexy new undies, stockings, body sprays and whatnot. Cindy smiled as she finally ushered them out of the store, more than half-an-hour after she normally locked up, and told them thanks and asked them to come again.

 

The girls waved and took the escalator down to their exit. They pushed through the doors and stepped into the parking structure, chatting happily about their crazy benefactor as they walked towards the street.

 

Jessica tossed her hair back over her shoulder. “I can’t believe you were flirting with him!”

 

“I was not!”

 

“Ye-ah! You were!”

 

April looked hurt, then grinned and told Jessica about the guy touching her boob.

 

“No way!” Jessica collapsed in giggles. “Really? He touched you? On purpose?”

 

“Yeah.” April shrugged. “I dunno. But it felt kinda…nice. I mean…”

 

“Wow. April, that’s sick. He was so old.”

 

“He was not old.”

 

“He must’a been at least thirty.”

 

“Uh-uh! Shit, Jess…”

 

“I mean, he was wearing those dumb sunglasses, and that big, dopey hat, too, an’…”

 

            The parking lot was deserted, quiet except for their conversation, so when the car pulled up and honked, both the girls jumped. Driving just behind them, the security guy had his window open and was leaning out, waving. The girls smiled and walked over.

 

            “Hey, mister!” April smiled coyly.

 

            He nodded back. “Hi again.”

 

            “Thanks for the stuff!” Jessica held up her bags. “Really. You didn’t have’ta do that. I mean…”

 

            “Not a problem.” He shrugged. “Where are you girls off to?”

 

            “Home.” April nodded at the exit. “We gotta catch the bus back.”

 

            “You want a ride?”

 

            The girls looked at each other. Jessica was feeling uneasy. “Hey, I don’t know. We can take the bus...”

 

            “It’s no problem. I can get you home so you can try all those dainties on even sooner. Where do you live?”

 

            “Over by Normandale park.”

 

            “That’s quite a ways.”

           

            “Yeah. Well. I guess.” April adjusted her bags. “You sure? I mean...”

 

            “Yeah, of course. Here...Give me some of those...” The man opened his door and stepped out. He opened the door to the backseat and took their bags. “In you go. We’ll get you home in a jiffy. You ever ride in a cop car before?”

 

            “No.” they said together, then giggled.

 

            April looked at Jessica, then at the cop, and jumped in, making a show of wiggling her ass as she crawled over the hard plastic seats. Jessica watched him watch her friend. April’s skirt was so short it crawled up over her butt, and Jessica was sure he was staring at her panties. She followed more slowly, while the officer stowed their bags in his trunk. He slammed the door after she was inside, and the car lurched to one side as he plopped back into the driver’s seat.

 

            “So, you’re a cop?” Jessica asked, running her hand over the bullet-proof partition separating the front seat from the back seat. “We thought you were maybe like a security guy for the mall.” The back of the car was nasty dirty, and stank. She wondered what the smell was. It seemed to be getting worse.

 

The glass muffled his reply. A hissing sound came from the air vents. Next to Jessica, April groaned and coughed, then slumped over. Her forehead smacked into the window, and she tipped over into Jessica’s lap.

 

            “Mister?” Jessica pounded on the glass. ”Hey! Mister! Hey!”

 

            The smell was getting worse. Jessica’s eyes began to blur and run, and her chest felt suddenly tight, like she was having trouble breathing. Terrified now, Jessica tried to roll down the window, but there were no handles. She groped at the door, but there was no way to open it from the inside. She felt her stomach clench, like she was going to throw up, and then she fainted.

 

            “Sleep tight, girls.” The man casually turned to look at his newest prizes. Their unconscious forms reflected in his sunglasses. “We’ll be home in a bit. I just have one other person to wait for.”

 

            The officer parked the car behind a concrete pillar and let it idle. He used an old wool blanket from the trunk to cover the girl’s limp bodies. Then he sat back down and tapped a cigarette out of his pack and smoked, blowing out the open window. He rolled the cigarette around in his mouth, chewing the filter and letting the ash fall on his chest.

 

He let his thoughts drift back to the real reason he was here…

 

***

 

            He was buying cigarettes and some sandwiches at an Asian-owned market in Hood River. He was just drifting around, waiting for the next hunt, when the pretty little blonde entered the store with her friends. He knew they were city kids from their clothes, seven friends going out into the woods for a week, camping.

 

They were obnoxious, so he paid quickly and left the store. He almost left to hunt elsewhere, but something about the one girl, the blonde…

 

The officer decided to wait for a bit and test the waters, see what they might bring him. He could be patient. He sat in his cruiser with the windows rolled down, letting the breeze blow through, smoking a cigarette and sweating under his hot uniform.

 

When the kids finally piled into a beat up VW van, he followed them to their campground; a nice, secluded spot up in the cascades by a small creek. He parked the cruiser under some overgrowth on an old logging road about half a mile upstream, and hiked back down through the woods with a knapsack containing his food and cigarettes slung over his shoulder. He had a large bottle of water in the bag too, and high-powered pair of night-vision binoculars strapped to his weapon belt.

 

            When he came to a small, dry embankment, he hunkered down, concealed in the thick woods across the creek from the campsite. He watched the kids unpack and set up their camp. They built a large fire-pit and ringed it with stones and then plastic lounge chairs; they set up three small nylon tents; and with the camp complete, changed into swimsuits and went for a dip in the creek.

 

            Dumb city kids, he mused. Shouldn’t set the rocks around the fire. With all the rain lately, they could explode if they get too hot.

 

One of the boys climbed up the small embankment on their side of the creek and shouted to his friends – he found an old swing rope strung from the thick branches of an old-growth tree, and they quickly began taking turns swinging far out over the creek and splashing in.

 

The officer watched the kids play in the water, laughing and joking with each other until dusk, his attention completely absorbed with the blonde in her bikini. It was all he could do not to unzip his trousers and satisfy himself right on the spot.

 

            There were three boys and four girls, he noted. Only one pair actually seemed to be a couple, and they had a tent to themselves. The others split up, boys in one tent and the girls in another. The blonde didn’t seem particularly involved with any of the boys.

 

He liked that.

 

            The other girls were attractive enough. But the blonde…

 

            Well. She could keep him warm on a cold night.

 

            A cool breeze sent shivers through the wet kids, and the girls ran back to the tents to dry off and change. He watched the blonde’s titties bounce as she ran, letting himself fantasize; imagining her tied down underneath him, unable to move, tearing off the damp bikini and clamping his teeth around her cold-hard nipples, biting and chewing on the rubbery nubs of flesh, listening to her strangled cries and stroking himself until he was ready to take her…

 

            He shivered happily. Below, one of the boys had started a campfire, and they were all relaxing in the lounge-chairs, pulling food and beer out of plastic coolers. He ate with them, sipping warm bottled water instead of the beer the kids were drinking. They laughed and joked while they ate.

 

The girls were already drunk by the time one of the boys lit the first joint and began strumming an old acoustic guitar. The moon was high in the night sky now, and the officer glanced at his watch. It was after nine o’clock, and he had an idea.

 

He packed up his things and hiked back through the woods. He found his cruiser where he left it and drove slowly back with his lights off. The kids were so wasted they barely noticed him pull in behind their old van, until he flashed his spotlight on and pointed it directly at the campfire, lighting their surprised faces with its glare.

 

After that, it was a simple matter to roust them.

 

He wrote tickets for underage drinking, confiscated the booze, burned the pot and threatened them all with arrest for possession. He left them freaked out and packing to go home. He followed them all the way to Portland, checking the addresses he’d jotted down as each person was dropped off. The blonde was number two.

 

The van door slid open, and they left her standing with her sleeping bag at the foot of a driveway that led to a cozy two-story bungalow, across the street from a school and a playground.

 

She was awkwardly unlocking the front door when he eased the cruiser by. The van turned right at the corner ahead of him, and he whistled along with a tune on the radio as he noted the rest of the stops.

 

He drove back to the blonde’s house and parked by the playground. He spent the next couple of days waiting and watching, discovering where she worked, what her habits were, who her friends were. Her family. He tapped the phone line and listened to her conversations, watching her at night through her bedroom window.

 

Enjoying the hunt.

 

***

 

After he’d followed her to work that morning, he knew she’d been sent to him as a gift. He knew she worked in the mall, and had spent the better part of two days casing the building: checking security, how it was monitored, where the blind spots were.

 

Pathetic, he decided.

 

A rabid pit bull loose in the mall would’ve made a better guard than the pathetic security staff that seemed to consist of a few zit-faced college kids, paunchy ex-football jocks and a one-armed, toothless geriatric who could barely walk. He was more worried about the janitorial crew, who were everywhere – scattered throughout the building with their brooms and trashcans. They were always underfoot and paid more attention to their surroundings than the strutting idiots with the fake badges.

 

After watching the guards and the janitors for an afternoon, he was relatively familiar with their routines, their patterns. They were easy to avoid. He especially liked the parking structure. Despite warnings posted throughout the building regarding ‘video surveillance’, the only real, working cameras were located at the entries and the exits.

 

It was a simple task to disarm them without being noticed. He laughed when the old security guy came to check, spoke into his walkie-talkie for a few minutes, finally shrugged, and left. The camera stayed broken.

 

Now, he thought. Time for the prize.

 

***

 

She liked to park between levels, usually next to a large concrete support pillar, where there were fewer cars. It was a perfect place to take her.

 

He tailed her for the fifteen minutes it took her to drive to the mall, and all the way to her usual parking spot. She never noticed. He was going to make one, final walk-through, when he noticed the two giggling teenage girls making their way straight to the lingerie shop where the blonde worked.

 

Three for the price of one?

 

The man broke into a confident smile and followed the girls in. Now he had them too, and he was calm, content to wait until he spotted the pretty blonde salesgirl.

 

Cindy. A sweet name.

 

She emerged from the same doors the girls had used, just a few moments later. She was digging around in her purse, heading towards a bright yellow convertible. He started the car and drove over to her, parked and as he got out, grabbed the chloroform soaked rag from the seat next to him.

 

            “Hey. Miss? Excuse me?” He held the rag low and stepped close to her. “Cindy?”

 

            “Oh!” The girl looked up, startled, but relaxed when she recognized him. “Oh. It’s you. I’m sorry, but you scared me.”

 

            “Did I?”

 

            “Mmn.” She nodded. “Where are your girls?” she asked absently, hunting again for her car keys.

 

            “Asleep in the back of the car. Long day.”

 

            “Oh? I guess it is getting kind of late, huh?”

 

Cindy smiled nervously at the big man, who was just standing there, staring down at her tits with a crazy little smile on his face. She was used to guys doing that while she was at work. It was part of her job; during training, her manager made a point to inform her that her body and the way she looked was a big part of why she got the job, and that she could and should use it to her advantage with the gentlemen who came in to shop.

 

But this guy…

 

Even if he was a cop, he was creeping her out.

 

“Well.” She stammered. “I should go...”

 

            Cindy beeped the lock on her car and opened the door, tossed her bag into the front seat. She had one long, slim leg in the car when the officer clamped the dirty rag over her face.

 

He calmly counted to ten while she struggled in his arms, then twenty.

 

            The girl went limp, unconscious before he got to thirty. He picked her up easily and threw her into his trunk. Then, whistling, he grabbed her purse and her keys, locked up her car, and tossed everything onto the floor of his vehicle.

 

The officer glanced at his watch as he pulled out of the parking lot. He had a long drive. The moon would be up soon, but there should still be plenty of time tonight to play with his new toys before the offering.

 

He signaled and turned onto a freeway on-ramp, merged with traffic. He gunned the motor, flashed his lights and grinned as the other motorists speeding by him suddenly slowed down to a crawl.

 

Yet another benefit of this damn uniform.

 

He was already excited, aroused just from holding the girl for a moment, smelling her perfume when he dumped her in the trunk.

 

He could hardly wait to get home.

 

***

 

            Jessica woke out of a deep sleep.

 

Something was tugging at her, pulling at her insistently. She tried say, Stop! Knock it off and go away! But she couldn’t speak.

 

She blinked open her crusted eyelids.

 

The officer smiled down at her, whistling happily as he cut off her pants with a knife. Jessica could see herself, reflected in his sunglasses, tied spread-eagled to an old picnic table. Her arms were stretched tight over her head, her hands and feet bound to heavy iron rings with a thick, rough rope that dug cruelly into her soft flesh.

 

            The man pulled Jessica’s panties away from her crotch and shoved his thick, gloved fingers into her tight, virgin snatch.  She jerked wildly while he brutally finger-fucked her, but her screams were muffled by a pair of wadded up panties stuffed into her mouth. A bra was wrapped around her head, holding the makeshift gag in place.

 

            “You like that, you little bitch? Don’t you, you little fucking cock-tease?”

 

He pulled his fingers out and showed them to her. They were slick and bloody. He licked them clean and tore open her t-shirt.

 

“You think you’re so pretty, don’t you? You like to tease the boys? Show off your body, you little whore?”

 

He shoved his thumb deep into her sore pussy and pushed his fingertips into her tight little asshole while he squeezed her tits with his other hand.

 

“Now let’s see those nice big tits.”

 

            He tugged her bra down until it stuck under her breasts. Jessica squeezed her eyes shut, gasping with pain as he violated her, the rough leather of his gloved fingers scraping her tender insides raw. He bit her nipple hard, drawing blood. Jessica cried as he sucked and chewed on her tit.

 

            She cried out again in pain. And then he just stopped.

 

            He was standing over her, breathing hard. He wiped the back of his hand across his mouth, smearing his lips with her blood, then backed up and unbuckled his gunbelt. He tossed it onto a picnic table covered with S&M sex toys, and then he unbuttoned his pants, pulled them off, and tossed them onto the table too.

 

            “There, bitch.” He grated through clenched teeth. “Look at me.”

 

He wasn’t wearing underwear, and he just stood there in his boots and uniform shirt, staring at her. After a moment, he began stroking himself hard, until his cock stuck straight out from his hairless crotch, pointing right at her.

 

“Look at it! You see how it wants you…?”

 

His cock was huge and ugly, scarred like the rest of his flesh: tribal, ritualistic swirls and patterns ripped into his skin, reminding Jessica of the tattoos the kids in school were crazy for. His obscene manhood stuck straight out at her, throbbing. It seemed to move with a life of its own, blindly hunting her, radiating heat and brutality.

 

Jessica couldn’t take her eyes off it.

 

The officer roughly slapped her oozing pussy and pinched her bloody nipple, pulling her tit up into the air. He let go and grinned as it bounced back and pooled on her chest, wiggling.

 

            “There, there,” he mumbled. “That’s enough for now. Not all at once. I’ve got other toys to play with. Can’t forget them, now can I?”

 

            Jessica watched him move to the next table. April was lashed to it doggie-style, with her arms and feet roped to the table legs and her ass pointed up in the air. The officer had looped a black leather belt around her neck, keeping her face level with the edge of the table.

 

April stared at Jessica, wild-eyed with fright.

 

The officer had stripped April of her t-shirt, and dressed her in the little black bra that she’d teased him about at the lingerie store. A silvery metal ring was wedged into her mouth, locking it open in a wide ‘O’. April shook her head frantically he approached and strained to look up, silently pleading to him with her big, tear-streaked brown eyes as the officer grabbed her roughly by the ears. He jerked her head into position, so his cock was right in line with her gaping mouth, and shoved it in.

 

“Ahhhhh…so nice…”

 

He stayed still for a minute, holding her head in place, letting her gag and snort and spit around his cock. Thick ropes of snot and vomit spewed from her nose as April’s stomach heaved. She jerked and wiggled as he fucked her face. He closed his eyes and pumped his thick shaft deep into her throat until his balls slapped against her chin. The muscles in April’s slim neck bulged with each thrust, and her eyes rolled back into her skull. Jessica watched the man sodomize her friend with a sick fascination.

 

“This’ll teach you, you little bitch…” He muttered, and back-handed April hard across the face. “I’ll cut those perky little tits right off and cum in your ass…”

 

Jessica closed her eyes and turned her head as far away as she could, but she couldn’t blot out the awful smacking sounds of his heavy hand against April’s flesh, or her soft cries.

 

OhmyGod, she realized.  I’m gonna be next. He’s gonna do this to me, too.

 

In a sudden spasm of fear, Jessica pulled and pulled at the rope binding her wrists and ankles, until a new set of groans joined with April’s. Cindy was waking up.

 

The officer had Cindy hand-cuffed standing up. She was gagged like Jessica, and fully dressed except for her suit jacket. She was bound so that she was leaning up against the wall of the overhang, with her arms locked to a rusty iron ring mounted high over her head. Her legs were spread wide apart, and her ankles were tied to heavy, metal tent pegs pounded deep into the hard soil underfoot. She was limp now, hanging in her bonds.

 

“Well, well. About time you joined the party.”

 

The officer pulled out of April’s mouth with a wet pop. He walked over to the junk-covered picnic table and whistled until he found his whip.

 

“Ahh. There you are…”

 

He cracked the whip at Cindy, the spiked leather flicking through the air by her face. Cindy cringed as one of the spikes ripped a shallow furrow through her cheek. The officer wedged his hips between April’s legs and cracked the whip again, tearing bloody gashes through Cindy’s white silk blouse.

 

Cindy screamed with each lash. She jerked and swung from the ropes, her eyes shut tight, oozing blood from her torn flesh and panting for breath. The officer laughed cruelly at her pain and put the whip down. He bent over and spread April’s butt-cheeks open with his hands.

 

“Mm-mm good,” he grunted, and shoved his tongue into her asshole.

 

April screamed again and all the muscles in her body clenched while he ate her out. Cindy cowered against the wall, still groggy from the drugs and the pain from her flogging, not yet coherent, not fully understanding what was happening.

 

Jessica kept her eyes shut tight, praying she was dreaming.

 

“Fuck that little pussy…” The officer shoved the whips’ leather handle into April’s cunt. April’s eyes bugged wide and she jerked and wiggled while he reamed her out and fucked her with the whip. Her heart-rending cries filled the air.

 

“Mm.” He came away smacking his lips. He left the whip lodged in her bleeding pussy. “So tasty. Let’s see what else looks like fun… ”

 

The officer stood and picked up a wooden paddle from the junk table.  He began spanking April, who cried out incoherently with each smack of the paddle. He knotted his hand in her hair and spanked her until April’s ass was a deep, glowing red, then he threw the paddle away.

 

“Now…for…the main…course…”

 

He ripped the whip out of April’s bloody pussy and grabbed his swollen, purple cock. He rubbed the scarred tip over her ass and down to her pussy. April screamed again as he rammed it into her. He bent over her back and grabbed her tits, thrusting savagely.

 

“Oh, shit, bitch. You’re so sweet and tight.”

 

He bit her shoulder as he buried himself in her cunt.

 

“Uhh…you’re so tight…am I your first fuck? A little tease like you couldn’t be a virgin, could you?”

 

He ran his gloved hand down the soft skin of her belly and spread her pussy lips further open with his fingers. He scratched them up and down her clit, making her jerk her hips, trying to hide her sensitive little nub from his touch. Her exhertions just managed to excite him even more.

 

“You like that, don’t you bitch? Oh yeah…”

 

April hung her head and cried while he took her. He whispered in her ear.

 

 “Maybe I’ll keep you and your little friend. Knock you up. Make you my breeder-bitches. What do you think? Huh?”

 

The officer rested his weight on April’s back and bit her ear, chewed her neck. He drooled in her thick brown hair and pinched her nipples until she whimpered pathetically, kneading her breasts through the lace of the bra.

 

He came suddenly, grunting like an animal.

 

Thick white cum oozed out of April’s torn cunt and dribbled down the inside of her smooth, tan thighs. The man collapsed onto her back and wrapped her tightly in his huge arms, hammering his cock into her one last time, enjoying himself, letting April’s fear and shame intensify his orgasm.

 

He shuddered, and rested on the trembling, weeping girl, letting her body carry his full weight.

 

Jessica waited until the man seemed to doze off, then she doubled her efforts, tugging fiercely at her bonds until the rope was slick with sweat and blood. The rope around her left wrist seemed to be looser now. She focused all of her attention there, gritting her teeth and pulling, biting her lips bloody.

 

Then the officer pushed himself off April.

 

Jessica lay still as he took his whip in hand. His cock dangled halfway down his muscled thigh now, flaccid, slimy with blood and cum from April’s snatch.

 

He unbuttoned his shirt and tossed it casually on the table, then stood behind Cindy with his legs braced, now completely naked. He cracked the whip and brought it down hard, raking the spikes over Cindy’s poor, unprotected back. He whipped her again and again, until his barrel chest was heaving and he was dripping sweat. When he finally stopped, his cock was rock hard.

 

Jessica watched him toss the whip to the ground and take his hunting knife from the table. Cindy hung limply in her handcuffs, covered in blood and sweat, exhausted.

 

The officer stroked himself with the blade, then cut a slit up Cindy’s skirt and tore it up the back, exposing her panties and a lacy black garter belt and stockings. The knife gleamed in his fist.

 

“Let’s see what else you’ve got for me, bitch.”

 

He cut away her panties, and Cindy didn’t fight him as he levered his hips under hers, and shoved the tip of his cock into her ass. She just groaned pitifully and her head rolled loosely on his shoulder. He worked his dick further into her, then ripped open her blouse and cut the elastic strip between the cups of her bra, exposing her tits.

 

“Fuck…I knew you’d be beautiful. I told them you would be…”

 

He ran the edge of his blade over her belly, pricked the tips of her nipples with its point, and then ran it lightly back down, scraping it over her trimmed blonde bush. Cindy shivered and the blood from her cuts smeared over his sweating, naked chest. Her head drooped, rolling away from his shoulder, and bobbed in time to his thrusts.

 

“No, no. Not like that.” He pressed the knife to her neck, used the flat of the blade to tip her head back again. “I liked it like this…”

 

Jessica ignored them, squirming, twisting until her left hand popped free. April stared at Jessica with a look of desperate hope in her eyes as she worked at the knots tying her other wrist.

 

Once Jessica had both hands free, she tried to rub the feeling back into her fingers, and glanced quickly over at the man raping the poor salesgirl.

 

His face was buried in Cindy’s thick hair and he was fucking her ass brutally, grunting like an animal in heat, oblivious to everything else around him. Jessica carefully sat up and went to work on the ropes around her ankles as April darted little scared looks back and forth.

 

First one set of knots parted under Jessica’s trembling fingers, then another and another.

 

And suddenly, she was free.

 

She slid off the table and tried to reach April, but the movement caught the man’s attention. He turned on them, taking everything in with a glance. April squealed in terror. Jessica hesitated for a moment, not wanting to leave her friend, but his face twisted with fury, and he pushed Cindy’s limp body away from him. She swung loosely as he twisted the knife in his grip and advanced towards Jessica.

 

Jessica squealed and bolted into the woods. He roared senselessly and threw himself after her, crashing through the trees, both of them quickly lost in the darkness.

 

In a moment, the camp was quiet, except for the soft cries of two terrified girls.

 

***

 

            The woods were lit only in spots by the full moon shining down through the treetops. Jessica ran and stumbled, righted herself and then ran some more, always away from the sound of the heavy body crashing through the brush right behind her.

 

            Sobs wracked her chest, sharp twigs and stones bloodied her bare feet. Jessica fell against the stump of an old tree, gasping. The sounds of pursuit seemed to come from her right; so she set off to her left and ran until the sounds seemed to swerve to her right. She adjusted her path, and fled again, further into the darkness.

 

            “Please leave me alone…” She panted. “Please. God, please…”

 

            The ground under her feet was getting softer, muddy, making it harder for her to run. Jessica broke out of the cover of the forest onto a shoreline seconds later, stumbling into a decrepit wooden dock. The sounds of pursuit were fading away behind her. Jessica braced herself and took her bearings.

 

A moonlit lake stretched back into the darkness. And suddenly, as if from far away, Jessica heard singing. It was a soft, gentle voice, and feminine. It drew her east, down the shore, like a moth to flame, until the ground underfoot became solid, littered with stones. She moved as if in a trance, her steps leaden, halting.

 

Just ahead, perched naked on a rocky outcrop, naked and unafraid, was the most beautiful woman she’d ever seen. Jessica stopped and blinked, unbelieving.

 

The woman smiled gently at Jessica and continued singing with a sweet, lovely voice, a voice that seemed to soothe all her fears. She beckoned Jessica closer, but Jessica hesitated, her body trembling from fear and exertion. The woman slipped gracefully from the rock and stood tall, holding out her arms like a mother welcoming her daughter into a loving embrace.

 

“Come to me, my child.” She whispered without speaking, and the words were like warm, sweet honey to Jessica’s mind. “Do not be afraid.”

 

The world around Jessica spun and narrowed. Somehow, she knew it was alright, that the woman would take away her pain, make her safe.

 

“Come…” breathed the sing-song chant. “Come to me…”

 

Jessica stepped closer, and the woman took her into her strong arms, wrapping them tightly around her, pulling her close. Her full bosom was soft and inviting, and she smelled of the woods at night.

 

Jessica smiled and closed her eyes, letting her body melt into the woman’s arms.

 

Standing in the shadows at the edge of the woods, the man watched, smiling with anticipation. The silver knife gleamed in his hand, and his skin was black with blood and sweat. The echoes of the song died, whispering in his ears, and the pale scars on his body began to burn blood red.

 

“A sweet gift…”

 

The lethargy that had stolen her will suddenly left Jessica, leaving her senses clear. She stared around her in confusion.

 

And the woman changed.

 

Her warm, soft arms withered and the flesh blackened and fell away. The sweet face twisted and melted into a craggy, featureless mass of gnashing fangs, and the foul stench of rotting flesh hovered thick in the air.

 

“Take her my sweet…”

 

Jessica screamed as the woman’s fingers clawed into her back, her putrid breath hot on her face. She sniffed at the air, like a starving animal smelling out prey.

 

“It is her time…you must be swift…”

 

The man stepped out the trees and was behind Jessica with three long strides.

 

“N-n-noooo!” She wailed. “P-please don’t…”

 

He wrapped a strong hand over her forehead and brutally snapped her head back. He kicked her legs wide open and wrapped his other arm around her belly, forcing her ass against his crotch. Jessica felt the deformed head of his cock, hot and pulsing, digging at the soft skin, searching for her pussy. She screamed again as he found her and pushed inside, tearing apart her hymen.

 

“Yessss…” The thing hissed.

 

He grunted with satisfaction and his scars burned with agonizing fury as he buried himself in the virgin pussy. The woman-thing clawed at Jessica, tearing away great strips of skin as it’s snapping fangs sank deep into the soft, exposed flesh of her neck; feeding on her nourishing life-blood even as he ripped her virginity away.

 

Hot blood spurted from Jessica’s mangled throat, gushing out over her heaving chest, covering her breasts and the clawing, scratching thing as it fed. Jessica twitched and kicked fitfully, her face frozen in confused pain. The silvery moon reflected in her pale blue eyes as the life slowly fled her body.

 

The man cried out as he climaxed, violently riding her to his peak. He swooned and collapsed to the rocky beach. When he woke the moon was high, and he was alone except for the torn, bloody corpse of a young girl held tightly in his arms. The familiar siren call echoed in the recesses of his mind, persistent, urging.

 

Overhead, the moon was a full, blood red: a great, dead thing hanging in the sky like a fat, bloated spider. The woods behind him were quiet, his entire world hushed with anticipation. Far out in the darkness, he heard the first, faint splashing begin in the lake.

 

It was time.

 

He stood weakly, steam rising from the scars which still glowed hot, as they burned away the girls’ blood, renewing him; giving him strength. He found his knife hidden among the stones scattered on the beach, and began dragging the body towards the dock.

DEVASTATION
Part 1: A Perfect Life No More

Dr. Sabirah Najwa

My name is Sabirah Najwa. I'm a 49-year old clinical and behavioral psychologist resident in London, though Arabic in origin. In Arabic, Sabirah means “patient” and Najwa means “confidential talk, secret conversation.”

I am a lesbian Sadist. And also a Fetishist. I must add I am neither a Sadist nor a Fetishist in the common misconceptions of those words. I will say only, at this point, that normal clichéd conventions of BDSM and Fetishism bore me. They don’t interest me. They never have and never will. I choose a very different path to very different and totally devastating ends.

If I were to ‘label’ this story, or indeed any of my written works, first and foremost, it would be ‘Fantasy.’ Psycho-Sexual, Psycho-Fetish are also labels that could apply, since deeper feminine issues are explored. Always fiction of course, despite the level of realism applied and levels of inspiration gained from real life -- sometimes verging on the taboo. Always exploring the edges of limits. Peering over the edges into the darkness where others are afraid to venture. Some less open-minded individuals could apply the label ‘Horror’ to my stories; certainly ‘Perverse,’ since, for my ‘victims,’ usually there is only a one-way trip down into a vortex that is really bottomless.

Come.... be immersed in “My” world....

ONE - Petra

It’s probably only once in a Sadist's lifetime that her ideal 'subject' will come along. That is, if she’s lucky; once where all the boxes are ticked. Everything comes together into a perfect 'package': the age of the subject, her physical attributes, her domestic situation, her career status and circumstances, her character and personality; the strengths, the weaknesses and the traits. Every single box ticked. Everything right, so that the hairs on the back of the Sadist’s neck stand upright, erect.
_________________________________

I met Petra by pure chance for the first time at a corporate fund-raising function. She was the PA of a Chief Executive of a City finance group. I was representing my own private clinic attempting to raise funds into research of the extremities of human behavior. Quite ironic, really, given how things were to develop.

Obviously certain boxes were ticked immediately. Striking, stunning looks and vital statistics I was to later find out were a height of 5'10" and curves measuring 38d-25-35. Long, thick, luscious hair a shade darker than flame-red and huge pools of hazel eyes with naturally thick, curled lashes. Her lips, full and delicately shaped and with a natural pout. Her complexion, pale, slightly freckled across her nose and under her eyes. With the addition of impossibly long legs, tapered and shaped in all the right places, Petra caught my eye immediately.

Then there was her sense of style and dress, which quite simply flattered her elegance to the extreme. Featuring designer dresses and suits that enhanced her best attributes. Indeed not a lady of the shy, retiring type. A woman who knows how good she looks, and enjoys that. One who knows her best attributes and how to subtly draw attention to them. And yet also not overtly sexual either. Better described as subtle, mature, and matching her thirty-five years to perfection. I am usually quite good at guessing ages of other women and indeed correctly guessed Petra's age as early thirties.

Petra, before even a word had been exchanged between us, had captured my attention to the fullest. There was a natural grace to her. The way she moved. The way she carried herself. I liked that. I liked that very much. More than that though, there was a confidence. A self-assurance. A self-gratification that suggested that Petra was pleased, and content with the life she had. I especially liked that.

Also, there was more than a hint of arrogance. From a distance it was difficult to finger the source of the arrogance. Just in her stance. The way she appeared to talk to others. The way she looked at others in her presence. Petra was a delight to study from a distance. Any woman capable of such overt arrogance had also to be highly intelligent. Intelligence in a woman, for me, is very desirable. An intelligent woman is a woman who would understand what she was going through. Understand and ‘feel’ the journey she is taken on, maximizing the effect. Maximizing her suffering.

There were more boxes to be ticked once the inevitable introduction had been made. Petra's first words to me tripped from her immaculately glossed lips effortlessly.

"Oh.... so you are the ‘head doctor’? I'm SOOO pleased to meet you."

With those words came a massive, wide lipstick smile. Her accent very English. Very educated. Very sophisticated. As I’ve said, intelligent. Very delicious. Her chosen words, and tone quite, and purposely so, derisive, dismissive even. Falling short of 'rude' and yet barely doing so. Instead settling on patronizing and with her infectious smile and big eyes lingering, it was as though it was the effect she had intended, and desired. And an effect that she was well-practiced at. Well used to obtaining. A thrill down my own spine. Had I found my ‘ideal’ subject?

"Pleased to meet you too, Petra, truly."

My own accent, perfectly measured English and yet with a slightly less than thick Arabic accent. The tone, an octave lower, slightly broken, almost, but not quite, husky. My smile, very sincere. Very real and completely, expertly camouflaging my deep and meaningful thoughts about this woman. I like women content with their life. I like women who are confident, and arrogant. Confidence, Arrogance and Contentment. A delicious combination. Like that of Beauty, Intelligence and Aloofness. All of the ingredients of a perfect subject. Indeed, in the flesh and up close, Petra was a vision to behold. She certainly deserved further investigation.

I waited for the crowd to diminish, having already succeeded in securing a sizeable donation from Petra’s bosses. Buying Petra a drink, suggesting we move to the quiet tables at the back of the bar, much more relaxing. Much easier to talk. All the time studying her. The way she moved. The way she carried herself. All of particular interest to me in my pursuits. Sliding into the quiet tables set out in little semicircular booths at the back of the bar. Breaking the ice, directly and with no prejudice.

“Ok Petra, I have to come clean, I am a lesbian, but I promise I am not hitting on you, ok?”

I smile wide. Even allow a little chuckle. And Petra breaks out in a quite raucous laughter that melts any new-meeting tension.

“Oh.... so, you’re not hitting on me then. I’m disappointed, really I am.”

She keeps a dead straight face for all of two seconds before her stunningly attractive features break into a wide, wide grin. Another display of her intelligence. And some sense of humor.

“It’s ok, really, Sabirah, I have quite a few lesbians in my circle of friends. I prefer female company to male anyway. No worries. Really, I mean that.”

I nod, all the time checking out this delicious woman. The purring in my throat audible only to me.

“Well maybe I should say, not hitting on you ‘yet’.”

Another laugh, another re-cross of the legs required by both of us. Once my initial interest is grabbed, I like to check out women in greater detail. Petra really is a stunning woman. In all respects. If a woman spends time on her appearance , it always stands up to close scrutiny. Her lips, perfect, and she ensures they are always made up thus. Careful lining. Careful color. Careful gloss. The same with the eyes. Absolute attention to the detail. The minutest of detail from brush stroke direction, to thickness of mascara applied. Looking as good as Petra did didn’t happen straight out of bed. Her makeup was applied with a relaxed, yet practiced expertise and highlighted the best features of her face. Her lips and her eyes, and her delicately high cheekbones. Her nails, manicured perfectly, and matching her lips.

Her style of dress, impeccable. The fitted pants suit in the most expensive of silks just oozing a class and education of style and elegance. The jacket perfectly fitted over her flared hips and the silk top underneath, just a tease of sexiness. The pants, silk, wide. They flowed elegantly when she walked. Her high heels more or less covered by the hems of these pants and created an almost effortless ‘glide’ when she walked. Very tall on her own merits but it was obvious she favored the higher heels. It didn’t take that much imagination to see that Petra had the longest of legs under those silky pants. Pity I couldn’t see those legs on this first occasion. But I had quite enough to be getting on with. Another secret purrrr to myself.

Her hair, pulled back tight, quite severely from her face... that striking flame-red plume and secured back in a high, tight ponytail. Barely a loose, wayward hair to be seen. So neat, so perfect. She looked the consummate professional, and was. This had been a business meeting and she had been representing her company so her power-dressing was appropriate. Effective and seemingly effortless.

“So tell me a bit about yourself, Petra. Have you been with the company long? You seem to have the measure of things.”

I make casual chitchat with wide sincere smiles, totally off the cuff.

“Hmmmm, well actually, yes. I moved to London about nine-years ago and got a break with the company. I’ve been so lucky. They were so understanding, even when my daughter came along. My daughter is 18 now but in the early years, the company provided childcare. Everything, the works. Even now I can get her looked after if I need to. I feel my life is right about now. Just about perfect. A place for everything, everything in its place.”

I smile, nod as she speaks, taking it all in, watching her mouth as she talks. Such a delicious mouth. There is no greater pleasure for a woman of my ‘interests’ than to hear another woman speak of her happiness. How content with life she is. Just those basic things telling me already that this woman is so happy with her life. Just the reflection in her voice, so obvious that she wouldn’t want to lose all that. And at the same time obvious that she would be destroyed, and devastated if she did lose, even a little of it. Thank her lucky stars even though she doesn’t have anything to thank them for.

“Oh… so you have a daughter? How old is she?”

I chitchat as I sip my wine, and watch as Petra sips her own. So content with life. She has a daughter! I barely can contain the excitement in my voice, having to clear my throat before I speak.

“Yes, yes I do. Stefani is eighteen, just. She really is the most beautiful thing in my world. I couldn’t ever imagine anything taking the place of the importance she holds in my life...”

Her voice drenched with love and adoration for her daughter. I liked that attachment. That pure mother love.

“Awwww that is so sweet. So cute... She must be heading for those dreaded exams, as well as all the other things teenage girls go through?”

My voice in no way patronizing - just oozing sincerity and a genuine well-practiced curiosity.

“Oh yes, tell me about it. Terrible teens. But I just love having her around. So vibrant and full of life. Everything to look forward to.”

The adoration in her voice almost sickly sweet.

“Dad isn’t around then, I take it?”

Petra nearly chokes mid-gulp of her chilled Chardonnay.

“Oooooh nooooooo, no dad. I have to say that Stefani was a ‘mistake.’ A one-night stand that shouldn’t really have happened. But I wouldn’t be without her now. Not for anything. But her dad has never been on the scene, ever. Doesn’t even know she exists. Didn’t even know I was pregnant... just the way I like it...”

For the first time, a slight hint of emotion in her voice. I just lean forward tap her lightly on her knee.

“Its quite ok sweetie, I understand completely. We all need ‘something’ in our lives, but a man definitely isn’t one of those things...”

She regains her composure very quickly. Almost instantly, and smiles.

“I’m sorry. I get a little touchy where Stefani is concerned. A lot of people draw conclusions about me because I am a single mother. And because I had her when I was so young myself. It doesn’t get to me like it used to though. So it’s cool. Besides I have been so lucky. fallen on my feet, as it were. I have my own house in the country that is bought and paid for. Mostly from bonuses paid by my company. I have exclusive use of a company penthouse when in London so.... I just feel so content, so complete. I don’t know… it’s hard to find the right words sometimes.”

Her voice trails off. Has regained some of its aloof, even arrogant self-gratified edge. All the time I am making mental notes. This woman definitely deserved more of my time. I looked at her jewelry. Mostly gold, all expensive and dripping from all the right bits of her person.

“Well.... you don’t need to worry about me drawing wrong conclusions. I take people as I find them. Or how they want to be found. I don’t judge and I don’t draw conclusions only fact. I do know that Stefani is extremely lucky to have such an intelligent, beautiful mother as you. And that you have absolutely her own best interests at heart always. It’s a joy to meet you, really it is.”

Again infectious smiles exchanged between us. Her smile is glowing with self-pride as she becomes relaxed, and not so guarded in my presence.

“Anyway.... enough about me... what about you, Sabirah. What’s your story?”

Petra has a way of ‘flirting’ that wouldn’t be obvious to everyone. Just a way of using her eyes and her facial expressions. They linger longer that normal. Her eyes pierce deeper than normal. And always with a slight curl of her wide mouth into an ‘almost there’ smile. Petra, a woman used to playing games; getting her own way. Using her femininity, even sexuality, in subtle ways to get it.

“Hmmmm well. Not much to tell. I moved to London 20-years ago. Daddy was an oil-rich Arab. He put me through college and then set me up in my own practice when I got here. I expanded in a short space of time and now have the clinic. It’s a private clinic and that, in turn, funds a lot of the research we do.”

Petra listening intently always sipping on the wine. Nodding seeming deeply interested.

“Oh wow.... so what is the research all about?”

I sip casually coming to the end of my wine.

“Mainly mental health issues. Although we are running a program now studying human behaviors. But all linked to mental health. Or, to be precise, extremities of human behavior... and the darker sides to mental health. All a little deep, but very good for the profile of the clinic. I am also personally studying hypnotism, and something called auto-suggestion in association with hypnotism.”

If Petra faked the interest, she did it well. Very well.

“Wow.... I’m impressed. You’ll have to show me around some day. I would be very interested. Do you know, I’m due a three-month leave period which I can take any time I like. Maybe I should put that on my ‘to do’ list?”

Her self-invite was doing no harm whatsoever. And yet more information pouring from her. I liked Petra more and more with each passing minute.

“Oh... a three-month leave. How lucky are you? Did you plan on doing anything special? I mean, don’t get me wrong, I am happy to show you around the clinic of course but I can’t imagine a gorgeously hot thing like you wouldn’t have immense plans?”

Petra finishes up her wine with an exaggerated smack of her lips.

“I hadn’t ‘planned’ anything at all .I did want to go traveling and could. Organizing care for Stefani whilst I was away would be easy. Not that she needs that much looking after at sixteen. But... like I said nothing planned. It’s why I have so much vacation time owed. I never actually plan to do anything so it all just mounts up.”

My mind was beginning to work overtime. A plan. But certain wheels had to be put into motion. Petra, every time she opened her mouth, moved a muscle, flicked her hair, or flirted with me with those huge pool-like eyes, was becoming more and more perfect. However, it was time to bring this initial chat to a close. I had my own checks to initiate. A little more groundwork to complete.

“Well, look... why don’t you book the time off work and you can come to stay with me as my guest at the clinic for a few days. Just a suggestion. You can take a good look round. Give all good reports back to the bosses as to how their money is being spent, hahahaha......but seriously, in the meantime, I have to go. I’m already late for an appointment, so captivating have you been. And I mean that, really.”

Petra takes the opportunity to flirt with her eyes again. And I seemingly play back.

“Awwwwwww well... if you MUST go....but yes, that sounds like a plan. I like plans. Why don’t we take each others cell phone numbers, and meet again soon and we can discuss further?”

“That sounds like a plan too, Petra, yeah! We can do a drink or something, less formal than today, maybe in a week or so?”

We agree, exchange numbers and I give Petra a hug as I leave. It doesn’t escape me that she hugs me back close, pressing her substantial breasts into me and extending her deep red lips into a pout as she air-kisses each of my cheeks. Another of her flirty characteristics. I let her leave ahead of me. I want to see the pure elegance of walk as she glides out. She doesn’t disappoint.

TWO - Seeds Planted

I ran a few checks on Petra. She was who she said she was. No alarm bells ringing. Impeccable credit records, served obviously by her perfect life. A lucky woman in many respects. And yet, due to her looks, her life, her luck, life was closer to dealing her a devastating hand. A cruel, cruel blow. Lucky, perfect Petra was soon to become poor, poor Petra.

I received a text message from Petra the day following that first meeting.

“Sabirah, it was so good talking to you last night. I’m looking forward to our less formal drink in a few days... Petra xxx”

I smiled as I read it. Three little kisses at the end. Almost juvenile in their inclusion in the message. Except I knew that in Petra’s case, it was her little way of continuing the flirt with my lesbianism. I’m not the world’s greatest ‘texter.’ In fact, I do it more under duress than as a normal way of life. In Petra’s case though, I made an exception.

“Petra. Yes, me too. Be sure to dress to impress. I’d love to see those yummy long legs of yours... :) Sabirah xxx PS - not coming on to you of course :)”

Petra liked games, I gleamed that much from her. This was a game I liked. A game which served a higher purpose. A game which would draw her closer to me. A few days later another text.

“How does Friday evening sound? The new wine bar just off Canary Wharf 7pm? Legs and killer heels, just for you :) Petra xxx”

Just that simple text told me so much about her. “Legs and killer heels.” She knew, appreciated the appeal of her legs. And of heels that accentuated them more. I liked her more and more. Poor, poor Petra!

“That sounds divine Petra. I can’t wait to see you, you tease :) Sabirah xxx”

Just a play along, with her flirt. Even a little encouraging it. Teasing it. Coaxing it. It all helps the process. I could almost ‘taste’ Petra already. I clenched my thighs. The second meeting was set. I couldn’t wait. Wheels were in motion.
_____________________________________

If the tiniest thought had crossed my mind that Petra might not ‘make the effort’ on our second meeting. It was quickly dispelled. Not just quickly dispelled but absolutely and without question. This was a woman who knew how to look her best in work suits. For an early evening meeting however, with a friend in a stylish city wine bar, she excelled. More than excelled. But she knew that.

Petra wore a shimmering gold dress made mostly of silk, with sequins. But around the low cut front it was edged with delicate gold lace that framed the uplift of her heavy, succulent breasts to perfection, making her orbs partly obscured, and yet teasingly not. The flesh could be seen to move and roll through the silk, through the lace edging and also the bare flesh above the dress material. The dress also had a low cut back that plummeted down in a gradual ‘V’ from her shoulders and the narrowest point ending up just above her tailbone. Delightfully tantalizing. A perfect back, with a natural spinal curve. The dress, a cross between a cocktail and party dress, was short. Above mid thighs but delicate gold tassels hung in a fringe all the way round them hem. These tassels swirled and danced in time to whatever movement she was performing at the time. And which gave teasing little glimpses of upper leg. A totally astounding sight were Petra’s legs and deliciously extended by her shoes. Legs so long, so perfectly shaped and tapered and enhanced more with those ‘killer heels.’ Calves well-shaped, taught from the high heels. Gold court shoes, with stilettos of at least five-and-half inches. Absolute killer heels that at the same time, contrasted and blended in with the sheer, silky dark brown hose that sheathed the seemingly endless legs. My secret purr resonated in my throat when I saw her.

When she entered the bar I was already there. I intended that. I wanted to see her entrance. I had a feeling that this woman liked to make entrances and I was so right. A woman who could turn heads, absolutely with no problem whatsoever.

Her make up was just perfect. Even to the eye shadow with gold glitters matching her dress. Striking, almost trademark deep red lips, lined hard for effect. Not smooth gloss though. Slightly textured, glittery lipstick which just went with her overall dress, totally. And her striking red hair. Looser than the first time we met. Looser, that is, around the back and sides and yet some of the hair gathered from high at the back of her head and banded into a little, high ponytail. This added to her grace and elegance. Even to her height. Drawing attention to it, highlighting it.

As she walked in, looking around for me. Heads just turned towards her, taking her in. She was used to this. Liked it. Practically wallowed in such adoration. I didn’t let her see me at first. Just dodging behind a pillar so I could watch her move. Watch her smile at the men who poured their eyes over her. At their women who seethed through gritted teeth at her. Some of those women would be in total glee at what would be in eventual store for Petra. If they knew. Or maybe not! She loved it. Knew how to dress. Knew how to make the best of her best attributes. Knew how to impress. Indeed I was impressed. I eventually waved through to her and she saw me. A beaming smile across her wide, full-lipped mouth.

“Petra..... my god, you look totally out there, girl. I am impressed.”

Exaggerating my Arabic accent a little. Moving in for a hug and, true to form, she presses herself right into me, crushing her breasts and hugging, then kissing my cheeks, just to the side, but very close to my mouth so that I can feel, and all but taste her hot breath. I feel my own breath quicken. Taken away. But I keep it in check. Regulate it again. Respond to her tease with a wry smile.

“Why thank you Sabirah. It’s so good to see you again, really it is. And you are looking better every time I see you.”

The same smile. I am dressed a little more conservatively having come direct from a business meeting. Fitted suit, jacket, blouse, hose and heels. My own five feet six inches only moderately boosted with four inch heels.

“Awwwww Petra, you’re too kind..... why don’t we get a booth down here. We can talk.”

I point and Petra is only too happy to lead the way knowing that my eyes are all over her from behind as she walks. Heels forcing something of a strut, her bottom slip-sliding and moving inside the silk of the dress. The back view of her amazingly long legs as spectacular as the front and side views. We order a bottle of white on ice and slide into the plush velvet seating.

“Mmmmmm so Petra, what have you been up to? And have you thought any more about that three month vacation period?”

I see no point in delaying the important questions. Petra checks her makeup in a little mirror. At the same time she is nodding slightly, acknowledging what I am saying to her and what I am asking her.

“Oh absolutely I have. I’m doing another week and a bit. Do a little hand-over to my stand in.... and well, the world’s my oyster, as it were.”

She smiles that infectious, gorgeous, still flirty smile and we spend the next half-hour exchanging pleasantries. All the time I am watching her, studying her. I can’t help that. Not only am I lesbian with a penchant for statuesque women, but I am also a psychological professional, with an interest in what makes people tick. It’s the deeper aspect of what makes people tick that appeals to a particular side of my lesbianism. I let her lead the conversation. Knowing that she wants to.

“Sooooo tell me, about this Hypno stuff you’re into then. I’m fascinated truly. I always said that I could never be hypnotized. I’m too self-centered, too self-obsessed. If I am honest, I never believed that anyone could actually, truly be ‘hypnotized.’ No offense like.”

She grins, believing her own words. I just take a sip of wine, nod, showing that I hear what she’s saying.

“Nahhhhhh Petra, it’s the self-obsessed, self-centered ones that make the best subjects. Trust me, I know. But hey, I applaud you for your honesty and no offense taken really.”

She giggles kind of mischievously. I know she’s just teasing me. Kind of refreshing, even endearing in a mature woman. Obviously one who only really lets her hair down away from the office. That’s good, I respect her professionalism.

“Look, I’ll show you. I won’t put you right ‘under’ here. But I can partially trance you. Just sub-trance you. You’ll feel relaxed, chilled but aware of everything. Then I’ll take you out of it as quickly as I put you into it. Up for it? Hmmmmm?”

I look directly at Petra. See her smile fade slightly. But still a fascination, almost too strong to resist. My direct prodding at what really is an inherent fear of being taken out of her comfort zone, obvious, glaring.

“Awwwwwww I don’t know… sounds a little freaky to me....”

“Ok, it doesn’t matter. No harm done. Just wanted to show you that you could actually be tranced.”

I don’t force the issue at all. I don’t need to. I know I don’t. We sip a few more mouthfuls in silence and then Petra speaks again.

“Ok.... what do I have to do?... and not all the way under right?”

I take a long slow sip of the wine. Don’t answer straight away as I sense the anticipation in her voice. Let it linger. Let it dwell. I slowly finger a large ring on my middle finger of my right hand.

“You don’t have to do anything, Petra. Just watch my ring here. Focus on it and focus on my voice. Block everything else out. Just focus on the ring and my voice. Nothing else... ok? Just totally relax. Chill. Focus.”

I look at her, and her at me for a split second before she looks down at my ring.

“W-well, ok then...”

The ring is a clear cut crystal. A large stone that reflects and retracts light in all directions and in all colors. It isn’t a ‘magic ring.’ Just a point of focus. Something to hold the focus whilst my voice filters in.

“Just relax. Look at the ring. See only that and hear just my voice...”

My voice changes from the ‘friendly lesbian’ to a more professional, slightly sterner voice. But softly so. Not forcing itself. Just gently filtering in with stronger more direct undertones.

“You’ll feel slightly sleepy but your eyes won’t close. Just relax. Listen watch the ring. Listen to my voice. Watch and listen. Watch and listen. Watch listen. Listen watch......”

I’m right, so right, and can see the signs as she sinks into a void, halfway between reality and another place. It’s not hard. It never is with women who have Petra’s outgoing, confident personality. In truth, most of her sort, want control taken from them to differing degrees. I continue to hold her gaze. Watch her eyes focusing on the ring.

“Ok Petra, you are there... no dramas... no pain... just there in that good place, yes? You feel good right? Chilled. Relaxed. Good, yes?

My voice almost like liquid silk and it pours into her psyche.

“Mmmmmm yeah, I do feel good actually, yes.”

She smiles a little dreamily. But still acutely aware. She feels ‘good’ because that is what I have ‘suggested’ she feels. She’s sub-trance and very vulnerable to manipulation.

I lean forward, gently at my hips, keeping my own legs crossed, and place one hand on Petra’s uppermost thigh. My first touch of her spectacular legs, Then, so very gently I bend one finger and use the nail to ‘scritch’ against the sheer nylon.

Scritch Scritch Scritch.

“Mmmmm that’s good Petra. Really good. Now can you feel that scritch scritch scritch sound? Hmmmmm can you? And can you feel it... ever so gentle scritching... soooo gentle?”

I’m watching her face all the time. I recognize the part trance in her. No one else would. People in the wine bar, just walking by, taking no notice. Nothing strange going on. Just two grown women having a deep conversation. Could be lesbian. Who cares in this part of the city? No one cares.

“Okkkk.... whenever you feel that scritch Petra, you’ll automatically sink into this part-trance. Do you understand?”

She still has that dreamy smile on her face. Not a care or concern in the world.

“Mmmmmmmm yes ok...... scritch scritch scritch.”

“Yesssss that’s right. Scritch scritch scritch.......The scritch can be through stockings, hose, skirt, pants, or bare flesh. But it will always be a scritch on your leg. Maybe your thigh. Your knee. Your calf. Always a scritch scritch scritch. Do you understand, Petra?”

My voice low, calming, soothing. Hypnotic.

“It can either put you into a trance or take you out if you are already there. Ok?”
 
I scritch once more before removing my fingers and hand from her leg.
 
“Yeah, yeah I got that......”
 
“Good girl. The next time you feel that scritch you will wake up but remember everything as though it’s normal. Ok, Petra?”
 
She smiles wide and nods again. She fully understands and now the trigger to trance is fully planted in her head.
 
I sit back again now, totally confident, totally knowing that Petra is one-hundred-percent focused on what I am saying. The gentle hum and buzz of the bar around us had faded to grey for her.
 
In her psyche. I have used my quite vast and deep experience to render her susceptible in next to no time. Quickly, precisely.
 
“I have an idea, Petra, a suggestion. I thought, maybe it would be a good idea for you to take part in my program. My program on human behaviors. I think you could benefit from this, Petra. What do you think hmmmmm?”
 
Petra lets the words filter in but is nodding in agreement even before I have finished speaking.
 
“Uhhhhh yesssss, yes if you think that would be a good idea, then, then so do I, Sabirah.”
 
I smile encouragingly at her as I reach into my leather bag, taking out a document.
 
“Yes, well, I do think it’s a good idea, Petra. You will need to sign this consent form. It simply puts you into our care for the time of your inclusion in our program. Any trials or research is strictly governed. Just details, really. Quite boring legal stuff, Petra. It’s not like anything ever goes ‘wrong.’ This is just a safeguard, for you and for us. You wouldn’t have any objection to signing the consent, Petra, no?”
 
“Oh, no, no of course not, Sabirah. I’m all too aware of ticking the boxes and keeping the right paperwork.”
 
I smile as I slip the form in front of her and lay a pen across the top of it. She’s saying all the things she would in her normal day-to-day life, except with added incentive of the planted seeds. Responding to autosuggestions.
 
“Good girl. You just sign on the dotted line then, sweetie, and I’ll fix us up with some more wine.”
 
I give her a little ‘wink,’ which serves to massage her mind a little more. I nod to a passing tender, for another bottle of wine. Petra leans forward at her waist. Her breasts heaving under the lace edging of the dress, threatening to spill out as she picks up the pen and scrawls a well practiced signature across the dotted line. I look directly at the shifting breasts, and the nylon sheathed crossed legs, and the shifting silk dress with the tassels falling away to show more of her upper legs. My silent purr tickling my throat.
 
“You really are a delicious woman, Petra, aren’t you?”
 
Without a seconds thought and agreeing immediately with my ‘suggestion.’
 
“Hmmmm yes, I am.”
 
I smile.
 
“That’s right, you are. Tell me, Petra, what do you think are your best attributes? Tell me what you like about yourself. What other people like about you.”
 
She thinks. Pushes her lips out with her tongue and then answers precisely.
 
“My legs, breasts, my bottom.... my hair, eyes, lips.....I like them, everybody likes them.”
 
She shrugs as she hears herself reeling off her best attributes. And she giggles as well, holding up one hand to her mouth in an almost adolescent way.
 
“I’m sorry that sounds awful, but it’s true. Really it is.”
 
“Noooo Petra, not at all. I agree with you. Totally. Those and probably more we may find out at some point.”
 
She shifts on her seat, totally at ease now, totally relaxed, totally in the good place, re-crossing her legs, shifting her torso inside the silk dress slightly, and a wide smile on her gorgeous mouth. This part of the conversation seeming to gratify her, please her greatly. Something that I take careful mental notes on as I take the consent form and slip it back into a folder and back into my bag.
 
“You won’t discuss your plans or intentions for your period of vacation with anyone. Is that clear, Petra?”
 
She looks quite casual, quite calm, even with my direct, sterner voice.
 
“Ok, yes, sure...”
 
“When you leave work on your last day, just go straight back to your apartment and wait. A car will pick you up.”
 
She’s nodding, agreeing, taking it all in, as her throat rolls with another swallow of wine.
 
“You won’t need to pick up or meet Stefani. I will take care of that, ok, Petra?”
 
Again the casual nod, a complete agreement. Complete trust. The seeds in her growing and growing.
 
“Also, you won’t need to pack any bags, or change of clothes. Just wait as you are and the car will pick you up. OK?”
 
Careful to get confirmation she understands. That my suggestions are registering. Once she has acknowledged and agreed, these suggestions are firmly in her head and will be adhered to.
 
“Good girl.....”
 
I lean forward again, and just gently scritch one nail against the nylon sheathed calf of her casually bouncing leg.
 
“You’ll come back down now, and out of trance. But everything will be normal and you’ll remember absolutely everything we’ve discussed. You won’t be concerned about anything and you will be quite looking forward to your vacation period.....”
 
There’s an almost imperceptible blink of her huge, gorgeous eyes and Petra is back with me. Fully aware. I lean back, smiling.
 
“You know what, Petra, I think you are going to be an ideal subject for my programme. Maybe we’ll all learn something.”
 
My smile is wide, sincere. My tone, back to that friendly, off-duty tone.
 
“Oh god, you know, Sabirah.... me too. I’m quite excited, really I am.”
 
Absolute sincerity in her voice. I liked that. We spend the rest of the evening small-talking. Girls talk. A chance for me to find out more and more about this woman. Her penchant for high heels for instance. And indications that she is a quite highly sexed individual and how she has worked hard over the years to disguise that. Hide it due to her public, high-profile life. I liked that too. Her almost dripping shame at this admission palpable and failing to make her look into my eyes. I simply nod sympathetically. Understandingly and she looks partly relieved she has got that off her not-inconsiderable chest. Mental notes and more mental notes.
 
We hug closely at the end of the evening. Now a bond between us and her flirt quite natural to me. An accepted part of her character.
 
“We’ll talk soon, Petra......”
 
She turns back, waves, and is gone. The click click of her heels seeming amplified.
 
 
THREE - The Clinic and Stage One
 
With the trigger and suggestions installed into Petra, I didn’t need to do any close follow up on arrangements from her side. And wheels had already been placed in motion from my side. Over the next week or so, I exchanged a few text messages with Petra. Feeding her and encouraging her. Nurturing her. As usual her messages were flirty. I smiled as I read them. Flirted back, deliberately. Deliberate in a clinical sense, that is.
 
On the day of Petra’s arrival at the clinic, I met her myself on the steps. My personal driver, a tall lithe platinum blonde, by the name of Esther, had picked her up and whisked her into the country. Petra’s ability to stun with her ‘vision’ didn’t diminish, even with her ‘ordinary’ work clothes. She arrived in just what she wore to work that day. A tight-skirted suit. The skirt, black, almost pencil in design practically hobbling her just above the knees. Sheer black nylon encasing her delicious legs and the stiletto court shoes patent, shiny and black. A stylish silky top under her black jacket and her hair, striking, almost metallic-red, in the late afternoon sunlight. The hair, quite blinding and yet tied up high and tight in her trademark work-style ponytail. The ponytail sourced high on her head and seeming to erupt from her crown. The tail itself, swinging across her back as she walked. Her makeup perfect, slightly overdone in the vein of city workers who, quite frankly, were usually just that, ‘vain.’
 
“Petra.... welcome to my humble abode.”
 
Not that it was actually where I chose to ‘live.’ But it was a good welcoming line. Petra had established quite a few ‘trademarks’ for herself it seemed, over the years. Her perfect look. The gliding striding strut when she walked, even in tight skirts, Her high, tight ponytail. Her emphasized lips, and eyes. And then her ‘hug.’ Her flirting, almost obscene, hug, in which she presses her torso in, squeezes her breasts into whoever she is hugging. On this occasion, me. Trademark of a perfect women in a perfect life. Comfortable with herself. Confident with herself and within herself.
 
“Mmmmmmm it’s good to be here. God, this place is so impressive....”
 
She broke away from the hug, referring to the huge secluded building in acres and acres of its own grounds. Some wooded and some with extensive lawns. The central part of the building led into a huge old stately house but it was at the rear that building works had converted and extended the building into what it was today.
 
“Why thank you Petra... come now, lets get you inside. Its chilly out here.”
 
I walked her into the clinic arm-in-arm, chatting to her like we were old established friends. A few faces appeared at the office admin windows above the entrance, curious to see who the new inclusion into the program was. Those faces appearing then disappearing. Others taking their place then fading back out of sight. Petra smiled in her own infectious way at the ones she saw, or caught sight of. There were no smiles back though. Just long studious looks at her. I took her in. Talking to her all the time.
 
“As usual you look fabulous, sweetie.”
 
She liked compliments, lapped them up. She smiled puckering her lips and blowing a kiss in thanks. I took her out to the rear of the building on ground level and then to a lift marked “Authorized Personnel Only.”
 
“The research program takes place in the sub-level of the building, away from the main clinic. It’s quite important that it’s separated from everyday life.”
 
She nods, understanding totally what I’m saying as we enter the lift. The doors slide closed and it begins its descent.
 
“Of course, yes I understand. My god, I feel a little nervous all of a sudden.”
 
She tries to shrug it off with a soft laugh and a giggle. Not very convincing though as I move in close to Petra, nodding sympathetically.
 
SCRITCH SCRITCH SCRITCH
 
My fingernail scraping her upper thigh lightly, through the tightness of her skirt and then a split second. A nanosecond even where her eyes glaze and she slips into that partial trance. I recognize it immediately. She needs to feel good in these very early stages. That is of utmost importance.
 
“There.... is that better, Petra? Just relax. Although it is good to feel apprehensive. That’s a desired feeling, Petra, do you understand? Apprehension is good... very good.”
 
Another seed firmly planted. My tone of voice changed. The hypnotic voice back again, working in conjunction with the scritches, and the autosuggestions. Her face has changed. The apprehension across such a beautiful face almost painted on like a mask. She nods, nibbles her bottom lip slightly as the lift descends into the uppermost floor of the sub levels.
 
“Y-yes, yes I understand yes....”
 
The lift opens out into a reception area. First impressions would be that the reception area is like that in an up-market boutique hotel. Plush, very expensively furnished and rather than a reception desk, a normal low level desk with flat screen pc monitors sunk in and tilted at a viewable angle. Another striking thing, for any newcomers is the lack of sound coming from the upper floors. Or from the outside. The lack of any sound at all. The vacuum effect is such that others visitors have experienced ‘popped ears’ on the way down in the lift. There was no immediate evidence that it had occurred in Petra though.
 
Behind the reception desk an attractive, petite girl, in her early-twenties. She is dressed in a pseudo-medical-come-nurse uniform. But her face is made up, and striking in attention to detail, just as Petra’s always is. She smiles at me.
 
“Good evening, Miss Najwa. It’s so good to see you again.”
 
Her tone and manner are perfectly, even overly polite. I nod and smile at her as she flicks her eyes across and looks Petra up and down very slowly, very deliberately. The smile fading.
 
“Alyson.... this is Petra. Our latest volunteer. She will be staying with us for a little while.”
 
The introduction very short. Very curt. My friendly manner and tone fading now. The detachment and professionalism now taking its place. Alyson doesn’t even acknowledge Petra directly.
 
“She looks perfect, Miss Najwa. Absolutely perfect.”
 
Again that almost insipid politeness, born out of a total respect for me. And the non-acknowledgment of Petra. It won’t have escaped Petra. She will have been used to being introduced to people at the highest level. Here though, practically a complete brush-off by some sort of receptionist-nurse. And the casual remarks about her as though she weren’t even present. Oh, yes that would not have escaped Petra. It will have sunk into her psyche, very delicately and rested there. Just to the side of the apprehension I had planted earlier.
 
“I’m sure she will be just that Alyson......Shall we get Petra signed in now?”
 
It was my little prompt to Alyson to get her little clipboard with the signing in sheet for all visitors. She got it out, placed a pen across it and barely looking at Petra spoke,
 
“Print name, date of birth and sign..... do you think you could do that for me, sweetie?”
 
I laughed inwardly. Alyson thought everyone with long legs and large breasts was a bimbo. Her tone was curt, patronizing. Petra would eat her alive in the intelligence stakes but I didn’t intervene. Just watched, listened. Enjoyed. The apprehension, quite palpable now, over Petra’s face.
 
“U-uhhh yes, yes I think I can manage that.”
 
Alyson a little taken aback at the educated, obvious smartness that came from the “volunteer’s” mouth. I laugh, secretly inwardly again as Petra signs in with Alyson looking on all open-mouthed. With her all signed in I led Petra round and into a long corridor. The plushness of the reception fades into a stark clinical white. White walls, ceilings and floors with bright strip-lights down the centre. Doors either side at regular intervals. We stop at one door, on the right, labeled “ISO 1” and I swipe my keycard, the door clicking, then sliding open.
 
Inside the room is bare. Brilliant white, tiled floor. No windows. Just strip-lighting in the centre of the ceiling. A solitary low stool in the middle of the room and a fitted toilet in one corner. Not closed into a cubicle, just open in one corner and diagonally placed facing the centre of the room. And an empty plastic container placed next to the stool. Not unlike a packing box for ring binders. The lid standing inside it on its short edge. The walls of the room bare, whitewashed, almost blindingly so. The door slides and closes as we enter. The electronic lock emitting a little ‘click’ and ‘buzz’ as it reseals.
 
“Well Petra, this is the first stop on your little journey. I know, I really do know, it’s not much but you will be in here for quite some time. The object is that you are taken out of your comfort zone. Out of your normal world... are you with me so far?”
 
Petra steps in looks around, just puzzlement over her face as she takes it in but then nods that she understands.
 
“Uhmm yessss, yes really, it’s fine. I’ll survive. I’m a survivor.”
 
Her attempt at dismissive humor falls a little flat. My expression remains straight, curt even. And my tone even more so.
 
“Good girl. Now... we also have to take all of your personal belongings from you. Your bag, watch, jewelry, cell phone, purse.... everything. It’s ok, it will be all in our safe, locked up securely. It’s just a requirement of the program that all things from the outside world are stripped back and taken away. It makes observation more precise. Obviously this applies to all volunteers. Still with me?”
 
The requirements all filtering in and taking the shape of autosuggestions to Petra in her semi-trance state. This part of the research had always been so difficult, with previous subjects, until we introduced the semi-trance. There had always been resistance and in some cases, we had lost a couple of subjects who had freaked out completely as the requirements unfolded. No such result with Petra. I watch as she computes the words and then responds.
 
“Uhhhh yes... it seems to be pretty clear to me. I just didn’t realize this was all so deep.”
 
I continue to talk.
 
“That’s what I like to hear, honey. And oh yes, this is a really quite scientific study. Very detailed. Very searching........So why don’t we start here? Just throw your bag into the container there. And your jewelry. Watch, rings.. etc etc.”
 
Even as I speak, Petra begins to remove items and place them in the container. Bit by bit her jewelry coming off until it is all placed in the container with her bag, cell phone and watch. Every so often the apprehension across her face stark. I like to watch that. It interests me. Petra without her accouterments was like a thoroughbred race horse without its tack. Such a simple thing, and yet, to someone like Petra, so disturbing.
 
“Now, you will be in here for quite some time. But before we move you to the next stage you will need to be naked. It’s part of the stripping-back process but there is no pressure immediately. Why don’t you just remove your skirt, jacket and top for now? You can keep on your hose, heels and panties. Just for now. Later we can get you naked before we move on. Is that ok, Petra?”
 
My voice all the time encouraging, yet more detached now. And with a professional edge to make progress. Me knowing that the semi-trance state, and my suggestions all being computed by Petra and yet in no way diluting her apprehension. This time she doesn’t say anything just nods and begins removing the garments I have suggested. First her jacket, the delicious orbs of her breasts clearly defined through the thin silk as they press outwards against it. Then her skirt. For the first time, the full length of those stunning legs displayed and accentuated with her heels. She wore expensive lace top stockings that were self-supporting and clung to her fleshy upper thighs right at the top, almost where the inner thigh met her crotch area. A tiny and I mean tiny thong pulled up tight between her legs and bottom cheeks, the tiny triangle covering her most intimate area. Then her top and the full glory of her thirty-eight D cup breasts. Perfectly formed. Perfectly pert and with dark speckled areolas with quite wide diameter button-like nipples in the centre. Quite casually I lick my lips as Petra folds and places the items in the container. Her stance, a well practiced confident stance. But here she was at her most vulnerable so far and the apprehension dripped from her face. Her face had flushed a little to. An acute embarrassment at her slow, dripping away of control. Petra being taken skillfully out of her comfort zone.
 
“There Petra… we’re all girls here together so don’t be too concerned.”
 
I step back look at her. My own lips almost trembling with the excitement of finding such a ‘perfect subject.’
 
“There’s a toilet in the corner, if the call of nature should get the better of you, and a stool for you to sit on. I know, I know, not at all comfortable. But hopefully you will understand the need for the starkness of it all. The absolute need for the very basics only to be retained...”
 
My voice trails off as I take in the view again. She has taken a few steps still in her high heels, stockings and thong. Even in this environment she moves with a dignified grace and allure. The apprehension on her face belies the naturally arrogant steps and moves in her high heels.
 
“Ohhh I’ll be alright Sabirah.... j-just a bit of a shock to the system that’s all, really.”
 
“Well that’s understandable... so I am going to leave you for a while now. There are other preparations to make and you need to settle. Zone-in as it were...”
 
I smile, but recoil from a hug she tries to give me by holding a hand up, as though holding her away. Keeping her at a distance.
 
“Ahhh Petra, no… not here. This is professional and not personal or emotional in any way. Ok? We wouldn’t want anyone to think that we were closer than we should be now would we?”
 
She feels stupid. I can see it over her face and she stands rubbing her arm with one hand, a hip jutting to one side. Long, long legs tapered and akimbo slightly.
 
“N-no, no of course not. I’m sorry.”
 
I smile at her, tilt my head sympathetically and with that I leave her, alone, the door sliding then clicking locked. The period of isolation beginning.
_______________________________________
 
The thing about the effects of isolation is that they creep in on the isolated and then settle in delicate folds on the psyche. At first, these folds, or layers have air between them and it feels a little cozy. All warm and bearable. At first it’s just the loss of the sense of time that becomes all too apparent. Then it’s the silence. The silence except that is the, for the beating of the heart. And in Petra’s case the click of her heels as she ‘stalks’ around the room. That silence... nothing out, nothing in, is palpable, quite deafening. Deafening silence is always the worse kind. Her pacing of the room becoming more of a lazy, hip-rolling strut as she slowly begins to forget about her posture and stance. No one to impress or show off in front of in here.
 
Then the mind just slowly begins to play tricks and ask questions. ‘Have they forgotten me?’ ‘Has something happened and everyone left?’ ‘Who is EVERYONE anyway?’ It’s just a matter of time before Petra tries the door. Of course she does. It’s locked. The hypnotic inducement of apprehension doesn’t help. Neither does her state of almost complete undress. Stockings. High heels that enforce an almost swaggering arrogant strut, and lazy breast roll when she is on her feet, and when on the deliberately low stool, force her knees so high that her long, long legs are almost folded, and awkward. It’s the reason she can’t sit for long. Or walk for long. One of those rare times she would gladly enjoy a cigarette, if she had any. She didn’t have any.
 
After the mind questions, the exhaustion. It’s mental exhaustion more than anything. Trying to work out how long she has been there. How long she might be there. The complete lack of any home comforts. Or any comforts at all. All designed to slowly subdue her. It works every time. Physical exhaustion also plays a part in that she cannot get comfortable. There is nothing for her to get comfortable on or with. Comfort just isn’t on the menu in any form.
 
At one point I watch her, go to the toilet, thumbing the thong down to just above her knees and sitting on the bare toilet bowl. No seat or cover just the bare open bowl. She sits with her stockinged knees clamped together, stiletto’d feet splayed, feet turned toes pointing in to each other. There isn’t any toilet paper. She lets herself drip dry and then pulls up the thong tight between her legs and bottom cheeks. I’m pleased to see she’s smooth between the legs. Hairless. Yes I liked that.
 
Of course there are cameras, tiny ones watching her every move. Recording her every facial expression. Every little mumble that tumbles from those gorgeous lips as time goes on and on. The isolation continuing. Petra trying to cope with it but finding it increasingly difficult. No day or night. Light or dark. Everything the same. Same light. Same temperature. Same silence. Same loneliness.
 
I watch her succulent breasts, heavy, mature roll and sway as she moves around the room. She really is the complete package. The “One” I have been waiting for for so many years of my life as a sadist. Her long plume of ponytailed hair swinging across her bare back, just about caressing her tailbone as it swings across. Her movements becoming less confident, more unsure as a nervousness invades her. A terrible ,terrible jangling of her nerves as they begin to become shot. It’s written across her face of course. Strikingly so. I recognize the signs and lick my lips.
 
By the time I enter the room again almost thirty-six hours have passed. She doesn’t know that of course. There’s just a grateful, absolute look of gratitude as I slip back inside.She approaches me to give me a hug. I know it isn’t one of her trademark, flirty hugs she wants to give me but rather just a relieved, joyous hug for just seeing a familiar face. Any face. I hold my hand up with the flat palm towards her to stop her.
 
“No Petra. Remember what I said. This is professional and nothing else.I just came to take the rest of your things. Its time to leave this room now.... take your shoes, stockings and panties off now Petra and put them in the container.. ok”
 
She looks visibly, almost hurt at the rejection, and the ice coldness of my voice. And the reminder of her position as a ‘volunteer.’ She just nods, exhaling a sigh as she slips off her shoes with each opposite foot. Then peels down each stocking, folding each several times round one of her hands before placing them in the container. Then placing the shoes in. Then thumbing the thong down and lifting each foot as she steps out of it leaving herself totally naked. A renewed blush, and a dabbing at the corner of her mouth with the tip of her tongue. Slightly distended labia clearly exposed and just peeling apart slightly as she moves her legs and feet.
 
I watch her every move. Make sure she ‘feels’ me watching her every move.
 
“There, all set Petra. I know it feels a little strange for you. But well. Just try to settle try to relax and everything will be fine.”
 
I lead Petra out of the isolation room “ISO 1.” The corridor is empty and it’s silent. Everything on this level is silent.
 
“It must be a little strange for you walking without heels on Petra? I mean, you adore heels don’t you?”
 
She smiles, her breasts swaying in front of her.
 
“Oh yes, I do. I really do adore high heels. But then this experience is completely strange to me. Out of my comfort zone is a slight understatement.”
 
I just lead her gently by the elbow towards the further end of the corridor.
 
“Oh well, you know, you won’t be out of high heels for long, trust me, Petra. Get this next stage over with, and see where it goes. You’ll be in high heels again before you know it.”
 
I smile and so does she. Hope in her eyes. And then a spark, as though she remembered something.
 
“O-oh... did you meet up with Stefani?.... You said you would..... g-god, I forgot all about that.”
 
Like an awful shock crossing her face. For a split second, delicious , awful despair. My response is considered. Precise and calculated.
 
“Its ok, Petra..... Stefani is fine. There was a bit of a drama, but, well, everything is fine. And she is fine. No need for you to worry at all........”
 
My voice trails off. Petra looks to me, for more information. A bit of a drama? But none is forthcoming and that is something else that settles uneasily in her psyche. We pass a few more doors with various labels on them, eventually stopping at the one named “RIG 1” and go inside.
 
FOUR - Stage Two and Restraint
 
The word 'bondage' would never be used. At least not this early stage. That word would imply sexual deviance and would detract from the micro-path Petra would be taken down. The initial 'restraint' for Petra is simple in its design and yet acutely effective in its application. Her sub-trance state, along with her time in preparation, and isolation meant that Petra was very receptive to the idea of mild 'restraint.'
 
"The point is, Petra, as I have said, that you are taken out of the normal world and its everyday machinations. Your mind needs to be clear and you don’t need, or want to be concerned with what to do with your hands, legs or feet. This mild restraint helps that process. If your limbs are gently disabled, then you don’t need to worry about what to do with them....”
 
Petra simply stood nodding. Still very lucid and understanding and yet the period of isolation together with the semi-hypnotic state had ensured her relative docility. Her usual, very confident persona had been just slightly curtailed and wound back in. Subdued. Her susceptibility to suggestion was amplified now. In these early days, of the utmost importance. Eventually, she would be taken out of trance. But not yet. The time wasn’t anywhere near for that, yet.
 
"Oh completely, yes I understand. I signed up for this so whatever it takes, I guess is fine...."
 
I could tell, still at least slightly that Stefani was on her mind. Another creeping effect of the last thirty-six hours was dryness of the mouth resulting in continuous sips of water. That and a continuous movement of the lips. In Petra's case, and for me, a joy to watch. Her lips so full and mouth so deliciously wide.
 
"Of course Petra… this is a completely confidential research program. Results are not made public. Nor any details about it. And besides, if you feel uncomfortable at any time we can stop. The restraint can be modified, altered or whatever. It’s there just as an aid and not to make you feel uncomfortable in any way."
 
My manner with Petra remained cool, calm, professional. Very doctorly. Very bedside manner, which serves as a comfort to her. Albeit a distant comfort.
 
"Oh.... really its fine. I'm totally fascinated. You certainly sold it to me that night in the bar. Extremities of human behavior, hypnosis the works.... wow.”
 
Keeping a brave face was second nature to Petra. She did it, but it was becoming less convincing. Not to her, but anyone around her. Anyone who knew her. Me. Petra smacking her lips together between sips of water. Captivating to watch. But also that subdued, reigned in personality. Almost a hobbled personality.
 
"And, the same applies to the nakedness. It’s about removing everything from your normal life. I guess you could call it 'stripping you bare'. It applies to the physicality, as well as the mentality. I didn’t want you to think I wanted you naked just so I could feast my eyes on you. Although Petra I have to admit you are very beautiful, very gorgeous. I could eat you up for sure."
 
This time I deliberately purr so she can hear me.I laugh softly, head tilted to one side negating any doubts she could have as much as possible in the circumstances.Petra laughs too. Already fully knowing of my lesbianism, but also having that knowledge negated by my dismissal of any thoughts of coming on to her. Petra’s laugh still infectious even if a little more subdued than normal laugh. The flirting not there any more either. That has been wound in too. She wants to hug me. Maybe cry a little. She knows she can’t do the former and the latter she wouldn’t allow herself to do, Still plenty of fight left under those folds of issolative despair yet.
 
"ohhhhh no.. it’s fine really. I'm proud of my body. I work hard to keep it in this shape. And besides we are all girls together. I'm only too happy to be part of this program, honestly."
 
Again that brave face. I nod in agreement. Again so calm, so reassuring. All the time silently, expertly assessing Petra.
 
"Mmmmm I know all these things, Petra. I know also that we can all benefit from your inclusion in this program.... for sure...”
 
My voice trails off as Petra's mouth fights with a dry tongue and even drier lips. She takes another sip of water and I watch her throat as it rolls and swallows.
 
This room is identical to the first. Almost, and at first sight. Clinical bright white. White walls, white ceiling, white floor. This time though, the floor slightly sloped from all four walls into the centre. In the centre of the floor a black enamel drain cover. No windows in the room. No sound from the outside. Neither could any sound escape the room. Bright, high-powered strip light in the centre of the ceiling provides a constant light. This room very much identical to the isolation room. Except with added equipment and functionality. Most of this added functionality hidden from view and very much existing on a need-to-know basis. Subjects brought to this room didn’t need to know ‘everything’.
 
In the dead-centre of the room the restraint rig. Very simple in its appearance.In no way intended to frighten the subject. Quite to the contrary. For ease of use and application this rig begins in the vertical position. Once the subject is secured, the whole stainless steel structure can then be tilted, or turned to any angle.
 
The naked Petra is secured with her knees eighteen inches apart. The knees are secured via wide, strong, velcro straps. Then the ankles, exactly the same – eighteen-inches apart but with the feet overhanging the padding. Arms raised and parted either side of the head. and secured at the wrists, eighteen-inches apart. Elbows, again, the same eighteen-inches apart. Everything precise, everything parallel. A bar at her hips just presses her backside back a little. Just gently so when the rig is tilted forward, her bottom will be raised slightly. Her breasts hang forward and slide between two parallel bars. Again, when the rig is tilted forward, her breasts will hang under her... Mature, and heavy. Very exposed. Like the privacies between her legs, I make light of as the 'restraint' is completed.
 
"Hey Petra, I am verrrry impressed with the smoothness down there. Hairless from the neck down. I like that very much....."
 
I laugh softly, Just flirting a little, chilling her more and more. She laughs to.... her breasts jiggling between the bars of the rig. Her response equally jovial. Her mind already adapting to the restriction. No overtly sexual comments or insinuations. Just little intimate jokey comments that any women could share. She swallows quite noisily.
 
"Ohhhhhh I'm so glad you approve...........Oh God, I’m so freaking pleased that Stefani can’t see me now."
 
I laugh with her again. She says it light heartedly but I know that such a thought will be heavy on her mind. Her laugh is forced somewhat and tinged with that apprehension. Not the sexual kind. It’s how the process always begins. Just the start.
 
"Awwwwww well that’s not going to happen. Stefani is happy where she is and you are happy to be assisting us here. I just know you are..... So don’t be thinking of things like that ok?I'm going to tilt you forward Petra. You'll feel some motion. Just go with it ok. You're in safe hands.... ok?”
 
"uhmmmm y-yes, yes ok... I'm fine really.... j-just do what you have to do."
 
She adjusts her gorgeous lips as I move to the side of the room, and pick up a small wireless remote control unit. Staying in Petra's line of sight is deliberate at this point. Firstly she will be always and further reassured being able to see me. Also... even at this very early stage she will have the sense that she is in the hands of the ‘lady in the white coat’ I press one button on the remote and she tilts forward very slowly.
 
"Your weight will move off your knees Petra. The bar at your hips will take some of it. But in any case your weight will be better distributed. Much better suited to a longer period......"
 
Petra gasps slightly at the first motion. But nods as she is tilted so that the floor comes into her field of view. The whole volume of her breast orbs slide down between the bars, and are left hanging below her. The bar pressing into her hips, just gently coaxing her rear to jut into the air and back a bit. With this jutting, and leg spread her sexuality becomes viewable and exposed.I tilt her until she is just below the 45-degrees.Just a little too much for her to look ahead. And just enough that she can only drop her eyes to look at the floor. Everything so precise.
 
I move in front of her. If she could look up she would see all of me. As it is, all she sees are my feet arched into black, patent stiletto pumps. And, the almost opaque blackness of the nylon sheathing my feet, ankles and lower legs. Quite a stark contrast to the absolute high-intensity whiteness of the rest of the room. I slowly circle her then, moving out of her field of view.
 
"Well Petra, that’s you more or less all set..... do you feel comfortable?"
 
I let my voice drip into her ears from behind. I am experienced enough to know that by now she will be very conscious, very knowing of her position. Her vulnerability even if this ‘restraint’ is of the extremely mild though secure kind. The semi-trance will be feeding her apprehension and this shows on her face. Apprehensive, yes, of course! I even hear her dry swallow and the smacking of her lips together before she answers in a low barely audible tone.
 
"Y-yes....yes this feels ok. A little strange.. but ok......"
 
Again my voice dripping out, thickly Arabic in accent,
 
"Goooooood.... now let me just check these restraints and we're all done...."
 
Still out of her field of view but ever so gently running my fingers up and down one arm very lightly.... stopping at the wrist, then the elbow. Verrrry gently and smiling as I watch her loose, free-to-move fingers curl then stretch open again at the lightness of my touch. Moving to the other side. Checking the other arm.
 
"Mmmmmm these are just perfect...."
 
Her fingers curling again as I move to the other end. Running my fingers over one foot, to her ankle, checking the velcro fastening. Then slowly dragging the same fingers up her lower leg, over the calf and to the velcro restraint just above her knee. Whilst I do that, and the other leg taking a long, long lingering look at her delicately pouting sex lips... protruding back between her thighs. Not making any comment, but knowing Petra will be able to "feel' my eyes running over her.I allow myself a little smile of satisfaction as when checking the last restraint, just above the knee of her other leg, I rest my finger tips lightly on the flesh of her lower thigh, and feel a definite shudder, a little twitch of flesh that seems to run the entire length of her legs and spine. And the toes, of both feet, curling up. And yet still nothing overtly sexual from me. Not even hint of sexuality. Spoken or unspoken. Anything she feels, or senses coming from her own mind. Completely, totally from her own mind.
 
"Well that’s just about perfect Petra....."
 
I move back in front of her, crouch down onto my own heels so I can talk directly into her face. She's flushed up slightly, part of that due to her position. But part also due to a vulnerability she now feels.
 
"You'll be monitored constantly so don’t worry. All of your vital signs, obs etc., etc. are monitored from within this room. So there is absolutely no need for you to worry at all, ok?"
 
I smile as I look directly into her eyes. Ever so gently I stroke one cheek as I speak. Reassure her constantly. There is some humility in her eyes at this point. The trance is still working, except serving to magnify all of her natural emotions. More profound. She doesn’t say anything, she just nods. Presses those luscious full lips together. Rolls them in before nodding again, a slight twitchy smile stretching her lips slightly.
 
"That’s right ... no need to worry about anything here Petra... all girls together here...... I know a little undignified, maybe. But then no worse that those ghastly smear tests we have to go through every year.”
 
Everything I say making complete sense. Appealing to Petra’s logic, and intelligence and the susceptibility to suggestion that is now established. Another little squeeze of the jaw and chin as I stand up, and move behind her again. This time talking to her out of view.
 
"This is likely to be quite a long session Petra. Quite intense even. Unfortunately there can’t be a toilet break. I mean you have taken in some water. But that’s ok, whenever you need to relieve yourself... just let it go. It will drain away under you, no worries...... Is that ok, Petra?..."
 
As I finish talking, I am back in front of her, again crouching on my own heels. Again looking directly into her eyes. A soft smile across my lips.
 
"Uhhhh god.. I didn’t even think of that... b-but yes, yes if you think that’s ok..... it’s fine."
 
The subdued, agreeable tone. One of a slow, approaching realization. Again an underlying humility creeping in. I stand back. Look at the vision that is Petra. A little shiver through my own insides. Again that secret purring in my throat. Barely able to believe my own luck. I keep my voice neutral, professional.
 
"Ok then. May the research begin! I'm going to leave you now for a while Petra.You will feel alone. You will feel isolated but rest assured that you are being monitored and watched. We'll talk again soon.. ok? Just try to relax. Try to focus ok?"
 
"Y-yes... yes ok....."
 
All the time reassuring her, getting her responses. Again her sweet voice with a hint of bemusement trails off as my high heels recede, and out of the room. The door sliding closed, sealing.
 
Silence. Dead silence except for her own heartbeat. Her own pulse. Her own thoughts. Isolation with restraint. Relentless isolation continues, this time she is restrained.
___________________________________
 
I can monitor Petra (or any subject) from a myriad of hidden cameras. These cameras are absolutely unknown to Petra. Absolutely hidden to any visitor, or onlooker. I always insist on a close-up of my subject’s face. Close up, screen filling. Every blink. Every twitch of the nostril. Every nuance, of every emotion she will feel, relayed to me in vivid high definition. And all recorded on hard disk servers for any future use. As well, many and varying camera angles infinitely adjustable according to application and requirement. The digital age ensures that keeping such vivid recordings is a relative breeze.
 
This particular room at my Facility looks very simple. Whitewashed, windowless and just the simple restraint rig in the centre, above the drain in the gently sloped floor. It doesn’t just secretly hide cameras. The technology also hidden is state of the art, and far reaching. The rig looks simply roughly placed. Wheeled in and left. In actual fact its positioning is very precise. Minutely fixed. Micro adjusted. Also, the restrained subject, looks quite casually, if securely positioned. But in fact ultra-precise also. The rig and restraint points very accurately, minutely designed to hold the subject, in this case Petra, in a very specific position for a very specific reason. The reasoning behind such micro-accuracy only becomes apparent with further explanation.
 
The floor, walls and ceilings contain many laser-emitting diodes. Not science fiction. Science fact. Each diode miniscule in size and practically invisible to the naked eye. This invisibility aided by the overall bright whiteness of the room. Each diode slightly recessed into whichever surface it is housed to protect it. Each diode comparable in size to a pinpoint. The lasers these diodes produce developed, and refined over many years. Perfected, and re-perfected. Each diode infinitely adjustable in miniscule amounts according to its application. So many diodes, for so many applications and so many reasons. Very rarely would many of these diodes be in use at any one time.
 
It is beyond the scope, or need of this story to go into the deeper science behind laser diodes. Just a little information though.Of the number of types of diodes in existence, we chose the Double Heterostructure type.
 
The advantage of a DH laser is that the region where free electrons and holes exist simultaneously—the active region—is confined to the thin middle layer. This means that many more of the electron-hole pairs can contribute to amplification—not so many are left out in the poorly amplifying periphery. In addition, light is reflected from the hetero-junction; hence, the light is confined to the region where the amplification takes place. These DH-type lasers proved much more suitable for our applications. And proved further more adaptable with greater tolerances to what we wanted to achieve.
 
I digress. The laser diodes, in my Facility have been infinitely developed, and yet further refined. I hasten to add, NOT into deeply penetrating tissue destroying implements of torture. But rather, deeply penetrating, tissue sensitizing, tissue enhancing, tissue teasing, tissues manipulating, invisible beams of creeping addiction. The beams move and stimulate the tissue as opposed to destroying it. Nerve endings are gently coaxed to stand on end, erect and exposed. The ‘torture’, in the main is a slow sexual stimulation, one with devastating psychological effects. A deeply instilled Hell that is inescapable. The sort of torture and hell, that I, as a sadist, enjoy inflicting on a long-term basis.
 
In Petra’s case just three of the diodes, housed in the floor, would be used over an extended period of time. One each for her nipples and areolas. Once for her genitalia region, concentrating expressly on her clitoris. Three in total. Petra would be totally unaware of these lasers. Blissfully unaware. Absolutely completely ignorant of their existence. These lasers intimately gradual in their effect. The nipple laser for example would track, and trace the areolas puffing them up slightly. And the shaft of each nipple gently erecting them. Thickening them. Elongating them. The lasers would NEVER caress the very tips of the nipples. This would cause orgasm and this wasn’t the point of this particular exercise. Rather the opposite in denying the orgasm.
 
Over time, the lasers sensitize each nipple to the extreme ensuring the fullest erection and instilling the deepest of ‘throbs’ into the nipple base. The ‘throb’ would instill itself so gradually in the pit base of the nipple that it would at first be imperceptible. So gradual would this process be. So very slow and with such teeny increasing increments that the resulting breakdown would happen without realization. Remember, Petra is taking part in a research program. Nothing sexual. A bit of a laugh for her. A bit of an adventure, even if a little more involved than she had at first thought.
 
The laser on her clitoris would be concentrated on the area around the clitoris shaft and again NEVER caressing the cum-inducing tip. The tip of the clitoris, like the tip of nipples, in women is capable of producing intensely focused orgasms. With expert, laser manipulation intense, absolute orgasms result. Unlike anything produced via normal sexual activity. The tissue becomes hyper-sensitized and after extended periods, this becomes irreversible. The objective in this early instant is to create the desire, the need, the desperation for orgasm. The control of the orgasm, or not, is not with Petra. Nor would it ever be. Petra would actually never be the same person again, ever.
 
____________________________________
 
From her position on the rig, to the stark whiteness of the room, the miniscule shafts of concentrated light are all but invisible. Very occasionally a spec of dust will flit through the lights and spark like a tiny shooting star. Whenever I see this fed through to my monitors, I smile to myself. A shooting star indeed.
 
At first, Petra looks comfortable. Dare I say, content even. The first time probably for many years that she didn’t have to ‘think’ about anything. Taken out of her fast city lifestyle. Still color in her cheeks. Her full, deep red lips catch the overhead strip lighting and bounce the light back. Her earlier tiny excursions with humility have faded. I re-assured her. Relaxed her. She’s adapted to the restraint. Got used to it even. Undignified of course. But this is all hush-hush. Her high profile position with her company. The mere fact that she is a single mother. Of course she wouldn’t be shouting from the rooftops about this little adventure.
 
All the time, the three laser beams, pre-programmed, track and trace the little movements the rig allows. Never relenting, working the areolas, and teasing the hood of her clitoris. Eventually the clitoris hood would be persuaded to peel back, bringing the clitoris out of its hidey hole. But this would be so gradual, so slow. Petra would never imagine she was being manipulated when the throbs eventually became obvious to her. Of course, by that time she would have lost even more sense of time. And more than some sense of logic. The slow creeping disorientation, kind of taking the place of her normal, lucid persona.
 
That would be a long time away. First, the problem of her pressurized bladder. Her dignity not wanting her to relieve herself. She would hold that for as long as she could. Until she couldn’t hold it any longer in fact. I study the full-face screen. I know what she is going through. God she wants to pee! The odd bite of her lip. Narrowing of her gorgeous eyes. A blow out of her lips. A swallow. The way her throat moves. Rolls as she swallows. Oooohhh so desperate to pee.
 
Close up views of her nipples. Just slowly being caressed by the beams. And her clitoris. Not yet unpeeled from the hood. But a slight show of wetness on her labia. She wouldn’t be aware of that yet, despite the six hours or so that have passed.
 
Of course. The silence and isolation will have had yet more effect on her. It’s six hours since she saw me. And before that she was alone in the waiting room, for a further thirty-six hours before I reappeared. During this time, stripped of her personal belongings, then her clothing. All in the cause of research of course! It’s time I went to see Petra. To talk to her, help her along a little in the process.
 
She seemed a little startled, at first to see me crouched in front of her. Her eyes had been closed but she wasn’t asleep. Her vital signs would have told me if she were asleep.Her eyes were closed, as though she were concentrating. Rising to this strange challenge. I like my subjects to rise to the challenge. Yes, she looked a little tired. A little drained. Normal signs. Her eyes sprung open, and there was me. Then that infectious smile of hers. Genuinely pleased to see me. Relieved even.
 
“How are you baring up Petra?”
 
My voice soft and soothing. My smile genuine. Only I know what she is beginning to go through. Only I know that even as I maintain eye contact with her, the laser beams are working her most delicate, and intimate flesh. Petra lets out a tiny groan.
 
“Mmmmmmm I’m dying to go for a pee. Can’t I just go to the toilet quickly.... and come back?”
 
Her full lips more than a little dry. Her tongue also. Not making speaking that easy. Obviously feeling the indignity letting go of her bladder contents would mean. Her intelligence and dignity getting the better of her of course. What I liked was that it was a genuine, quite softly spoken ‘request’. As opposed to an ‘announcement’ that that’s what she was wanting to do. A respect for her commitment to the program. A respect for me, as controller of the program. Controller of her.
 
“Ohhhhhhhhh Petra, honey... if we let you do that, we’ll have to start all over. Such a waste of valuable time don’t you agree?”
 
I just cup her chin lightly, look directly into her eyes as I talk. Ever so slightly nodding my head to her..... a strange thing, knowing that as my head almost imperceptibly nods, so does hers, agreeing.
 
“Uhhhhh y-yes, yes I guess so......I’m sorry. Its just I’ll feel so dirty, doing it here.”
 
Her voice trails off, accepting that if she is to urinate, it will be from the position she is in.Her head still nodding in that tiny way.
 
“Just let it go here Petra. You’ll feel a lot more comfortable. And be able to rise to this challenge a lot easier... don’t you think sweetie?”
 
Again my sincere, bedside manner smile. Very proficient. Very professional. Never disagreeing with her own assessment of herself should she pee there and then. Again my ever so slightly nodding head coaxing her to do the same. To agree.
 
“Mmmmmmm ok......”
 
The tone of voice obviously giving away her slight discomfort at this level of intimate exposure. But the sub-trance state helping her through that a great deal. Had she been anywhere near aware of what was in store for her, she wouldn’t have signed the consent form. She most certainly would not have given up even a day of her three-month vacation in this way. In fact, I think it safe to say she wouldn’t have come within a mile of my good self. So it was good that she didn’t know. Or have any inclination at all.
 
“OK Petra, honey, let it go. I promise I won’t look. Do it now and you’ll feel much more comfortable ok?”
 
My smile doesn’t diminish. Neither does my ever-so-slight grip on her chin. Holding her head up and holding her gaze looking right into her eyes. The first trickle of urine hits the drain cover. A few initial squirts, and then a constant gush as Petra evacuates the contents of her bladder. The swirl and gurgle as the pee drains away. All the time I am looking into her eyes. She looks away, and then back to my eyes a number of times through the gush of urine. I know she is feeling the humility. It’s not just in her eyes but in the almost hang-dog sulky expression on her face. Across those delicious lips. It’s as though she believes she is ‘above’ this indignity. But she won’t give up. She signed up for the challenge and once it’s over, it’s over. She thinks.
 
“There... it wasn’t that bad was it?”
 
I speak as I stand and make towards the back of Petra. The gush has ebbed to a trickle and I know that as her bladder emptied, she will have become just slightly aware of the little irritation around her clitoral area. I say ‘irritation’ because she won’t have associated, nor would she, just yet, with any form of sexual arousal. The ‘throb’ won’t be there yet. Not quite. And the clitoris hood won’t be peeled all the way back just yet. Even when the throb begins, she won’t be aware of it straight away. And now I am watching her finish her pee. She knows I am watching. She closes her eyes, nibbles on her bottom lip as the trickle becomes a drip.
 
“Hmmmm Petra… you’re looking a little red down there. Nothing to worry about. It’s not uncommon. I’ll keep an eye on it sweetie.....”
 
My words, verrrry professional filtering in. Instilling now, the knowledge of her reddening sexuality. Focusing her mind on it. With her mind, all but empty of the more mundane, everyday things, focusing on this area of ‘irritation’ would be an aid to the constant incessant work of the laser beams. Already the fleshy clitoris hood part peeled back, the deeper red bareness of the clitoris itself, just beginning to poke through. Peel out all red and slippery.
 
“Ohhhhhh y-yes... yes I do feel a little strange down there. Uhhhh, I will be ok, won’t I? I mean, there’s nothing to worry about?”
 
I’m back now, crouching on my own high heels. Petra’s chin cupped gently again, raising her head so she’s looking at me.
 
“I promise, you’ll be fine. Absolutely fine. This does happen occasionally. But it passes, usually. You’re in good hands, I promise....”
 
My smile settling her. Her indignity settling back also. I let her head go forward again. Her red hair cascaded around her face and hanging long.I shift on my heels slightly, tilt my head to one side and peer under her, to her hanging breasts. She can see me. She knows I am looking. She is watching me. Knowing I am looking at her breasts. Her eyes peeling open wider as I let out an extended slightly puzzled sigh.
 
“Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm...... ok.....”
 
“W-what is it... e-everything is ok isn’t it?”
 
I don’t answer straight away. Just concentrate my focus on her hanging breasts. Eventually, still looking I answer.
 
“Welllllll, there is a little puffiness of the areolas.... and thickening of the nipples....... but… it’s ok. Once again, occasionally we do come across this. Admittedly it’s not often. But it has happened. And with you, it’s happened. We’ll deal with it Petra, not problem really, no problem.”
 
Bringing my head back up, smiling, looking her straight in the eye. There’s concern in her eyes now, a worry over her stunningly attractive face. Her mind’s focus now on her reddened clitoral area, and her nipples. I know now her mind wouldn’t be able to think about anything else. Over the course of many hours, she had been taken out of the normal world and denied any contact with it. No sense of time. No sense of a view of the outside world and her mind slowly receding back, becoming increasingly unable to think logically.
 
“I a-am, going to be ok, aren’t I?”
 
Almost a childlike vulnerability to her voice. Genuine concern. Faint worry lines across the tops of her brows.
 
“I told you Petra. You will be fine. This reaction whilst unusual, is not unknown. It can be dealt with. You’re in my care and I will take care of you.”
 
I watch her swallow, and nod again, reassured by my calm, almost soothing words. Listening to me now. Hanging on to my words. Petra was becoming focused now. I liked that. Anothersign of progress on a long, long journey. A single delicious focus. Pinpoint focus.
 
“I will need to change your positioning slightly Petra. Given these slight irritations. You’ll be just a tad less comfortable than you have been. But over a period of time, it should reverse the effects on your nipples, and your clitoris...”
 
I introduced the word ‘clitoris’ deliberately and directly for the first time at this point, focusing Petra, knowing that just a single seed of guilt will have been planted. A distant thought in her head that somehow, it was her fault that this ‘reaction’ had occurred. The delightful sight for the first time of her face flushing up, slightly embarrassed about this ‘unexpected’ development.I smile, but not in a triumphant way. Tilting my head slightly, the tiniest hint of similarity in the way a mother might cast her eyes over her sickly child. Petra, already thinking that her abnormal sexual appetite was to blame for this. Yet another source of worry.
 
“Ohhhhhh it’s ok Petra, I know you’re a little embarrassed. There’s no need to be. I’m a professional remember. And above all, we’re all girls together. Let’s get you readjusted. The sooner we can reverse this the better, ok honey?”
 
My genuine, professional, sincere smile again. The blush across Petra’s face from the neck up, fading slightly.
 
“Y-yes... please yes let’s do that.”
 
 
FIVE - Creeping Addiction
 
I speak to Petra softly as I work. Working quickly, efficiently.
 
“I’m going to have to change these velcro restraints Petra. More for safety than anything. Once I change your position you’ll be under a little more physical strain and so the velcro won’t be sufficient. I’m going to change the velcro for, stronger, leather buckled straps ok sweetie?”
 
My same voice: calm, soothing as though I’m prescribing paracetamol or something. Petra’s head nodding taking it all in. Now she knows I am helping her over an unexpected, and difficult period. I change each strap, one at a time, ensuring each now is buckled more tightly than the velcro could be. All the time I am speaking to Petra.
 
“I do have to add two straps Petra. To your upper thighs. These will help once you’ve been repositioned on this rig... is that ok?”
 
I watch intently for her response. Her mind is wandering now, more than slightly worried. But she nods anyway.
 
“Y-yes, yes of course... whatever you think...”
 
I smile as I wrap one leather strap around the very top of her upper thigh and pull it tight, buckling it. Denting the soft thigh flesh. Then the other. The activity around her thighs, very near her new focus help maintain that focus. My fingers tips just dragging slowly around the thigh flesh and then down as I finish up. Another delightful slight as I see her thigh flesh twitch, every so slightly sending ripples across and down the pale white flesh.
 
“I usually ask a couple of questions around this time Petra, just observational questions. Just as an indication of the state of your mind.... is that ok sweetie?”
 
She just nods as I see her limbs, and sense her mind adjusting to the increased tightness of the replaced restraints.
 
“Do you know how long you have been here?”
 
Her voice is dry, almost expressionless in its tone, in response to each question. I can see her desperately trying to think before she answers.
 
“Uhhhh... I’m sorry, I have no idea.....”
 
“That’s ok.... its very normal to lose complete track of time. Do you know what day of the week it is?”
 
“Uhmmmmm, I came in on Tuesday... no, Wednesday.... or was it.... Thursday.... uhhhhh god... I don’t know. I really don’t know. I’m sorry.”
 
An incredulity in her voice that she can’t remember. But the isolation, the restraint, the overall gentle denial of basic human rights were taking their toll. And now, the enforced focus on the developments of her intimacies.
 
“Petra, really.. it’s fine. This is not abnormal. It’s part of the process of separating you from your normal world. These are completely expected responses. In fact I would be slightly concerned if you responded in any other way. So relax.”
 
My Arabic-drenched voice only raising slightly an octave as I counter her alarm. And then back to normal. Neutral in tone. Matter of fact in content.
 
“OK, now you’ll feel some movement as the rig is adjusted. Don’t resist the way it pulls you. Just go with it. Relax and you’ll adapt to the new position more easily... ok honey?”
 
I move round to the front of Petra to look for a direct response. As it happens just in time to see her tongue swipe, slightly dryly across her lips side-to-side. Although I don’t show it, I am quite taken aback at the length, volume and width of her tongue. The first time my attention has been drawn to it. Inwardly I smile as I pick up the restraint rig’s remote control unit.
There’s a distant whirring sound. Like humming of motors. But it’s very distant. More noticeable is the gasp, and slight increase in Petra’s breathing as she is re-adjusted.
 
“It’s ok, Petra, I’m here; just relax.”
 
Deliberately I stay out of sight, watching as the rig tilts and moves and changes its general shape. Her arms straightened at the elbows and brought down slightly, then back, forcing the shoulders back. Not too much to cause pain. Just that gasp. And to ensure the breasts are thrust to their maximum volume through the bars, taughtening the flesh and tightening the already puffed areolas and nipples.
 
Her knees slightly bent, the lower legs brought slightly back and raised. At the same time, opened wider, spread at the knees and ankles. Not eighteen inches any longer, but thirty inches. The spread just enough of a strain, without any pain. Spread to expose her genitalia a little more. A complete joy to me when I watch her labia peeling open as her legs are spread. The bar at her hips pressing in a little more. And the introduction of a new bar. Right at the small of her back, forcing a dip, enhancing the upward thrust of her bottom, and the backward pout of her sexuality. Accentuating the “S” shape.
 
“Uhhhhhhhhh godddddd.....”
 
The long sigh of exclamation loud… filling the room.
 
“Yes.. I know Petra it feels a little awkward. You’ll get used to that though. Just try not to fight it and you’ll be fine.”
 
Petra swallows, her tongue fighting with her dry lips as she nods....
 
“Y-yes.. ok, ok.”
 
I stand back, in front of her, admire my handy work. Such is the intricacy and accuracy of the rig and laser diodes, that their points of focus have not moved at all. The lasers throughout the adjustment track and caress the clitoral hood and the nipples. An incessant, constant gentle working of a woman’s most sensitive and intimate flesh.
 
A wry smile on my face as I pull on a pair of surgical latex gloves that I have retrieved from my white coat pocket.
 
I’m going to apply some medicated moisturizer to the affected areas Petra. With that, and the air circulating more freely, they should settle... ok honey?”
 
I watch her visibly swallow some of that indignity again. But maintain my smile. There’s also the tone in her voice. Almost apologetic that she is inconveniencing me. A sure sign that she is baring some guilt now. That’s a good sign. She sighs, keeps looking down at the floor from her newly adjusted position.
 
“Yessssss, yes, I’m sorry.... for this.”
 
“Ssssssshhhh Petra... it’s ok, really it’s ok.”
 
At no point do I tell her it’s not her fault. I let her apologize. Let her feeling of being a burden deepen and work on her mind.
 
The moisturizer doesn’t have any affect on the laser beams. It won’t have any affect good or bad at all. Its application is just in essence, a ploy to, for the first time, physically manipulate Petra’s intimacies. NEVER stroking the very tips of her nipples. NEVER stroking the very tip of the clitoris. Just squeezing the puffed areolas and nipples slightly and applying a gentle twist, ensuring the slippery moisturizer rides through my latexed thumb and forefinger. I watch her gasping at the sensation. Knowing it’s sexual, but completely acting against that. Professional at all times. Then down to her clitoris. Massaging the moisturizer into the clitoral hood and against the sides of the clitoris shaft that can be seen. Never the tip. Tips of nipples and clitorises are so orgasmic. The areas and sides surrounding the tips simply feed a need. Feed the mind. Feed the most base need. Petra gasps, swallows and blushes again.
 
“Awwwwww sensitive Petra?”
 
She nods, but her bottom lip is quivering slightly. And she is blushing this time deeply.
 
“I know… it’s ok.... we’ll have you sorted out in no time... just relax now, Petra.”
 
Standing removing the gloves. Peeling them off. Running my eyes over Petra. Her position is no longer gently held. It’s a very unnatural one. Although not extreme. For a start, she is off the floor. She cannot feel solid floor under her. Just the tight leather straps holding her. Her femininity enhanced and yet a measure of her natural grace and elegance taken away from her. She’s aware of that. But she has the new focus now. And a troubled face as I discard the latex gloves.
 
“I have to leave you again for a little while Petra. We have this little hurdle, this little problem that we have to get over. But you understand that. You’ll be fine. I’ll come back in a little while and we’ll check progress. Give the moisturizer and the air a little time to circulate around you. I’m sure it won’t be too long before we can lessen the strain on the restraints.”
 
I’ve moved around to her front, crouching again on my high heels. Cupping her chin lifting it. Her eyes reluctant to look into mine and there’s a little quiver of her deliciously glossed bottom lip.
 
“Awww. I know honey, this isn’t what you were expecting. Well me neither. But we’ll get over it... ok?”
 
My smile drawing her eyes to mine. Definitely a woman now being drawn out, plucked out of her comfort zone. Teased and coaxed out of her perfect, and contented life. Such intelligence in those eyes. But that was good. I so like intelligence in my subjects. That way, she feels every nuance of every microscopic fibre of what is happening to her. A gentle squeeze on the chin as I let her head forward again and stand up.
 
“I’ll leave you to your thoughts Petra. Try not to dwell too hard, sweetheart.”
 
She nods and I know she will in fact dwell very much. Huge eyes looking a little teary and yet none have spilled. Too early for that. My high heels click the floor, the echo loud as I exit, the sliding door sealing back into place again once I am out.
 
I know now that the intensity of the existing laser will have been microscopically increased as per the program. And another two beams introduced. The newly introduced lasers, one each scanning, and working up and down the length of Petra’s labia. These will have the gradual effect of puffing up the flesh and sensitizing it. Whilst this is happening, the existing lasers will continue to peel back her clitoral hood, drawing out the clitoris. By the time the clitoris pops out it will be a very deep red/purple color and very swollen. Very sensitive and yet still untouched at the very, very tip.
 
Her areolas will have been puffed up and sensitized to almost catastrophic levels. The nipples themselves will have been coaxed, and drawn into teat-like sizes. Again very filled, very stretched, heavy. And that deep red/purple color. Almost ‘angry’ and yet necessary to feed the very basic need that will be growing inside of her.
 
But once again I digress. Long before the above state is reached, there will be that ‘throb’. And there will be a constant production and dripping of sexual discharge. Love juice as men often call it. Peasants!
 
At first she won’t even be sure that she can feel a throb, so distant will it be.Three ‘throbs’ in all. One each for the nipples. And one for the clitoris.It’s difficult to describe these throbs... even for an expert like me. The throbs emanate from the centers of the nipples and clitoris. But from deep at the very core of the base of each nipple and clitoris and traveling up towards the tip but fading short of the tip. Petra desperate for each throb to reach the tip but it never does. Not without the tips being caressed. These sensations are very alien to Petra. She has never experienced this ever. Or anything like it despite her relatively high sexual appetite and experience.
 
Each throb is continuous. Un-abating. And causes a deep, deep irritation, like a deeply focused itch that just cannot be scratched. Cannot be sated. That itch becomes pure sexual need. Pure desperation. By their very nature, the throbs create a sexual need. A basic, core need. Even a greed. An addiction. During an orgasm, these throbs are intensified and fed through the clitoris tip. All orgasms when controlled in this way are clitoral-focused. Pinpoint focus on the very tip of the clitoris. The resulting orgasm is a hyper-sensitized ‘explosion’ of undiluted pleasure.
 
____________________________________
 
Knowing that the ‘throb’ exists is the only given. The only definite result of using the lasers. What can never be predicted, or ever be the same from subject to subject, is the overall effect of the throb. Or the end result. Each ‘subject’ needs to be micro managed in every single way.
 
With Petra, it became clear, quite early on that a deep-set despair was setting in. Findingflaws in her that could be twisted, and used was fun for me as a Sadist. And relatively easy with her partial admission during one of our meetings, of her high sexuality. Or more to the point, her partial shame of that sexuality. That being a given since she went out of her way to disguise it. Hide it even. And then of course her motherhood and the deep deep joy she gained out of mothering a beautiful sixteen-year old almost dripped from her. A latent twisting point and not the only thing that dripped from her it seemed.
 
There was the focus on the unusual redness, and reaction within her intimacies. And within a few extra hours of the increased laser beam, and the two extra beams, Petra was becoming quite distressed. Very unhappy looking. Very occasionally she would emit a low guttural groan.
 
“uuuuuuuaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.”
 
A slight color drain from her face making the striking contrast between her full, deep red lips even more so. A slight narrowing of her eyes. A slight loss of the normal sparkle in her eyes. She would lift her head, look forward then let it drop again. A deeply troubled look on her face. Like she had the weight of the world on her shoulders.
 
The throbs were very obviously there at this point. Three throbs. Also there, written all over her face, the knowledge, the embarrassment, the guilt that this little unexpected ‘problem’, the one that the ‘head doctor’ was going to fix, wasn’t going to just miraculously disappear. She knew that the ‘irritation’ was growing, not diminishing. Was it connected with her secret high sexuality drive? Probably so in her own mind, adding to the despair.
 
Petra was intelligent enough also to know that this irritation was intensely sexual in nature. Sexual in effect. I do so love intelligent women. Especially the way they can come to conclusions, work things out, see the bigger picture even from points of duress.
 
I flicked one of the many cameras into life, to get a HD close up of Petra’s genitalia. Thighs nicely spread and out of the way. The clitoris had popped right out from under the hood now and was really quite red and inflamed. It wasn’t quite the size I wanted yet, but Petra would be very aware of the change. She would be able to ‘feel’ the size difference down there, in addition to the throb. It would add very much to the irritation for her. The surrounding tissue also very sensitive, very red. Her focus now very much singular.
 
The lasers on each labia had begun their work fairly swiftly. Rearranging the molecules, puffing up sensitive nerve endings. Each labia had become puffed, distended and extra sensitive. Their sensitivity would be feeding the throb and the need in the base of her clitoris. Petra would now be very sensitive to what was happening in and around her genitalia. Not least the collection of slippery discharge emanating from inside her, collecting around the shaft of clitoris that had formed with its increase in size... and down the length of each labia. Of added interest to me was the actual amount of discharge being produced. Copious amounts, collecting into two little drip points. Juices dripping from the base of the clitoris and also a stream of juice running down each labia, collecting at the bottom into a bigger drip onto the drain cover under Petra. Each pool of juice finding its own way over the edges of the drain cover, like thick mucous worms wiggling away. Petra was becoming an increasingly obscene sight. A highly desired sight.
 
Such amounts of discharge usually an indication of high sexuality. Partly known already of course due to her admission at our earlier meeting. A high sexual dependency. Mature women, like Petra, in normal life would keep such a trait well-hidden. And Petra did. Well-camouflaged within their perfect lives. Only the chosen ones would ever normally get to find out how ‘hot’ such women really are. I liked discoveries like this.
 
I watched this close up for quite some time. Mesmerized by it. It looked very much like the reddened, stimulated flesh was pulsating. Moving, as though it were alive. Indeed it was all moving. Petra’s inner musculature, tensing, relaxing trying to adapt to the stimulation she was feeling. Trying to absorb it. Even at this point she wouldn’t be able to think, or focus on anything except this stimulation. Only occasionally would a frustration show through. Mostly in inaudible mumbles, but then also in very lucid, groaning questions,
 
“Whhhhhhhhhhat issssssss happening to me? Godddddddd help me!”
 
The restraint now holding her rigid, tethered and any form of escape from the torment was absolutely out of the question. I would enlighten her at some point that God wouldn't be able to help her in this place. That she was actually beyond his help. But that little snippet could wait. I flicked to other views. Two HD close-ups of her nipples. I liked what I saw. Each nipple now looked almost black, but in actuality a deep blood-purple. The membrane stretched to the maximum. The nipple sacks heavy, grape-like. Each nipple almost bursting. The surrounding areolas, also puffed and raised above the level of breast flesh. These areas would also be feeding the clitoral throb with throbs of their own. That invisible string that all women have between nipples and clitoris.
 
At no time is Petra aware she is being manipulated in this way. This is the deception. This is the infliction of that deception, that guilt that something is wrong with her and it’s nobody’s fault but her own. And she increasingly thinks something is wrong with her. And because it’s sexual the guilt attached is palpable. Increasingly so. Add to the mix, the isolation, the restraint. All making the whole process go smoother. Time now had taken its toll on Petra. Nothing could be further from her mind now, than the normal, outside world. Her focus is singular and absolute. The throbs. The constant stimulation. The growing inability to think straight or logically. And yet her above average intelligence making her aware. Making her know, making her feel everything she is going through. Expressions on her face telling a story of slow decline. Slow withdrawal to an inner world.
 
Petra wasn't far from her future defining moment. She didn’t know that of course. Wasn’t aware really, of anything but that constant throb that deep, deep stimulation. She was aware that she could be possibly going mad. And in that she was partly correct. Partly mad, but never completely over the edge. When I swept back into the room, my walk was purposeful; long stiletto strides. The metal stiletto tips echoing in the eerie silence. As I walked in, directly in front of Petra, she lifted her head a little. Our eyes met very briefly, but then her head dropped again as she let out a low, long groan.
 
“Mmmmmmmuuuuuuuuuuggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.”
 
I kept my own tone its usual neutral, professional erring toward an accent of pity. As I spoke I pulled on a newly opened pair of surgical latex gloves.
 
“Ohhhhh Petra. We have a problem. I thought a few hours, and your little ‘problem’ would be cleared up. I think you know it hasn’t?”
 
I emphasize ‘her problem’ deliberately. Instill the fact that it is her problem. She nods her hanging head. Manages a response of sorts.
 
“I knowwwww.... w-what’s w-wrong with me?.... p-please tell me.”
 
I don’t answer immediately. I stand in front of her. Adjust the gloves, make sure they snap around my wrists.
 
“Myself and my colleagues are not actually sure what’s wrong with you, Petra. Obviously, something is wrong with you and we do need to deal with it. And we will deal with it, I assure you.”
 
The introduction into our secret conversations, of my colleagues at this point is deliberate and psychological. Up to now, Petra had thought it was just her and me. Slowly it dawns on her that others are involved, as indeed they are. My facility is genuine, legitimate and above board. A private clinic facility with many staff members. Some of these staff members of course have filtered through to the ‘inner sanctum’ as I like to call it. My most trusted, and talented friends. Indeed, most of my ‘work’ here would not be possible were it not for these trusted people. As realization dawns, between the throbs, and between her muscular twitches, she emits a noise. It’s not really a moan. Or a cry. or a sob. It’s kind of an amalgamation of all of them. A delicious concerto.
 
“Mmmmmmmmmwwwwwwwaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh........”
 
My voice remains totally calm, totally neutral, totally matter-of-fact.
 
“Sssssshhhhhhh Petra. I know. I know. Be assured honey, my team are verrry proficient in dealing with issues that arise during research. I mean.... this problem with you is verrrry unusual. Very strange. But, we have located the source. Or the reason behind this strange reaction to a simple research program. So, we can deal with it. It can be fixed Petra. It will just take a little longer. And it does change things slightly...... but we will get there sweety. Really we will......”
 
My voice trails off as I make to the back of her. Already she thinks she senses a light at the end of a the tunnel and her head lifts… even though she can’t see me, she speaks in broken, slight husky tones that drip with a sexual urge.
 
“Y-you said y-you’ve located the source... so... it can be put right... m-made better. Pleeease tell me it can be made better. Put right?”
 
“Yes, yes that’s right Petra. We know the source. We know the basic reasons. And we know how to deal with it....”
 
Petra’s head hangs again as she seems to let out a sigh of relief. I continue to speak.
 
“... just relax a second honey. You’ll feel my fingers just touching you down there, slightly. Just a second or two. I want to show you something. Hopefully make you understand. Is that ok Petra?”
 
Still my oh-so professional voice. And her almost sighing whimper in response.
 
“Yes.... yes ok.”
 
“Goood girl. Just relax now.”
 
I just draw the middle and index finger of one latexed hand down between the distended, slightly parted labia. Down the whole length, then back up again, ensuring that I scoop an amount of slippery, thick discharge. Her sex area moves as her muscles adapt and settle. And she gasps at first touch and then a little groan as my fingers work down then up the delicate sensitized intimate flesh.
 
“Uhhhhhhhhhhhmmmmmmmmmmm”
 
“It’s ok.... it’s ok, all done.”
 
Pulling my fingers away and moving to the front of Petra again. Lifting her head gently by the chin with my free hand. As it rises, the first thing she sees is my other latexed hand. The coating of thick, muscousy discharge from her genitalia. And my thumb gently rubbing and grinding the two coated fingers, making the discharge swirl and stretch. Looking down at Petra, a blush of pure shame has risen from her neck and covered her whole face. Her eyes are wide, transfixed on the fingers, and her own discharge. I keep my voice the same. Pleasant. Professional. And yet still with that slight tone of pity for her.
 
“This discharge is sexual Petra. It’s the kind of discharge that is produced during sex. Even during foreplay. During sexual stimulation.”
 
I crouch down onto my heels so she has to look at me. My thumb and fingers still swirling the discharge emphasizing its slipperiness right in front of her eyes.
 
“That’s a problem Petra. This research wasn’t about sex, or sexuality. It was just research into human behavior. And now this problem has emerged.”
 
Petra moans again, as the throbs deep inside make her twitch.
 
“Uugghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.”
 
Then she swallows deeply. Her attractive face now a mask of confusion, despair and need. She doesn’t manage an answer... at first. Just a forlorn nod. And then another question, as I hold her head up gently by the chin.
 
“Can’t... I j-just... g-go home. Leave here? Pretend it never happened?”
 
Her plea was genuine. Very sincere in tone. As though the thought had come to her in a flash. A distant split second flash of self-preservation. I look at her directly. Tilt my head, press my lips together before wording the answer.
 
“Ohhhhh Petra. That can’t happen. Do you remember when you signed the consent form to be part of this? Well, that consent form also places you in my care. It states that if issues or side effects arise, you are to be taken care of by me, here, until the issues are cleared up...”
 
I watch her taking in my words. The hope draining from her as my words filter in. The nod. The agreement. The understanding. But also, the humiliation. Not something a woman of her standing is used to. But the whole experience now, melting her mind.
 
“…But that’s all good, Petra. It covers you and it covers us here. It does mean your stay here will be extended slightly, but thank God for your three-month vacation from your work. It gives me and my team the time we need to correct the issues. So that is all good, isn’t it?”
 
At that precise point, her eyes open wide, bulge. And her lips part, ready to speak. Like a massive realization, or memory has hit her.
 
“My daughter... w-what about my daughter... c-can I see her?”
 
My response is measured; precise and spoken slowly so she can hear and understand.
 
“Petra, Stefani is fine. Perfectly fine. You remember, when we arranged your visit here, Stefani would stay with me. And be looked after. And she will. And yesssss, of course you can see her. I will have to arrange it, but leave that with me, just for now ok? Remember you did say you were pleased that she couldn’t see you like this, and that was before you reached this ‘state’?”
 
Accompanying my voice, a huge sincere smile at the same time as I remove the latex gloves and discard them. Petra nods, her eyes briefly lighting up again at the thought of being able to see her eighteen-year old daughter. But then that sparkle fading back again as the laser beams, and the throbs continue their work. Continue unabated.
 
I know, even at this point that Petra wants to orgasm. Needs to orgasm. Is desperate to orgasm. But she won’t talk about that. Won’t mention it. And the laser beams won’t allow it. Because the laser beams won’t caress the tip of her clitoris, or the tips of her nipples. Just the simplest of caresses would make her orgasm. But that wont’ happen. Not because she wants it anyway.
 
“We’re going to give you a little longer here, Petra. Just to see if there is a reversal in this reddening and discharge. Just to see if maybe we have been wrong in any way. That’s probably the fairest way to treat you, for now. Does that sound right to you, hmmmm?”
 
Petra, not really capable of articulate conversation, will be taking in just the important bits and filtering them. That she will stay like this for some more time. How much time? She didn’t know. Time didn’t mean anything to her now. Then nodding, mumbling her agreements as the deep, deep throbs continue, and continue and continue. Grateful for being treated ‘fairly.’
 
“That’s a goood girl. You try to relax now. Ride this ‘thing’ out. I will start to make arrangements for Stefani to come visit you sometime soon. I’m sure she wants to see Mum. All girls in their teens need their Mums. So that will be good for both of you.”
 
I give Petra a distant hope.... where really i know there is no hope. At least no hope of obtaining what she wants, in the way she wants.
 
I never stop watching Petra as I talk. The sexuality seeping from her every pore as her most sensitive flesh is manipulated by the laser beams. The clitoris gradually being coaxed out, made thicker, fatter, longer. The labia sensitized, puffed. The sparkle gone from her eyes, replace by a hunger. Her most sensuous, deep red lips parted, hanging in an almost pornographic pout. The constant stimulation does that to my women. Just one, selfish focus now. That throb. That need for orgasm. Such a deep desperate need.
 
“Just a couple of questions again... again observational, before I go Petra, ok?
 
She nods agreement but isn’t really taking anything in.
 
“Stefani’s date of birth, Petra, what is it?”
 
Petra lets out a sigh. It sounds like a sigh of impatience. But she answers immediately.
 
“…Uhhh, I don’t know... I can’t think of that right now...”
 
How dare I bother her with trivial questions about her daughter when she is focusing, deep, deep focusing on these throbs inside her! I smile.
 
“It’s ok Petra, it’s not important... just one more question... give me one or two presents you gave to Stefani for last Christmas?”
 
Petra lets out a deep, deep sigh that vibrates her lips as a particular throb feeds a growing addiction. She seems to take a second to think before answering...
 
“Oh Goddddddd, I don’t know.... d-do I have to remember now?”
 
“No, no not at all, Petra.... it’s fine really. I’ll leave you to it for a while.
 
I slide the door closed after one last look at the tethered, immobilized Petra, wallowing in her new focus; nothing else mattering, nothing else even on her radar, except the throb. The throb. The throb. Not even her daughter right now, at this particular moment in time, is as important as those throbs.
 
___________________________________
 
I watch and study Petra for another four or five hours. It would be safe, and fair to say that at the end of this time Petra’s state of mind had deteriorated immensely. Her deterioration is my progress. Close-up studies of her genitalia reveal a much thicker, longer clitoris protruding. Much like its own organ. Her labia, also larger.... and to all intents and purposes, extensions to The clitoris, since its stimulation by laser, feed right back through the nerve endings, right back to the pit of her clitoris. The central throb.
 
A magnified look on the clitoris - easily achievable via high-definition zoom on the camera, reveals it to be trembling. A constant, quivering accompanied by a constant ever-present dripping of her sexual discharge. A quite startling, almost alien appearance also apparent from the bottom ends of her labia.
 
Drip Drip Drip.
 
The drip also dribbling, and drizzling down the very thin membranic piece of flesh between her vagina and rosebud anus. The whole sexual region moving, pulsing, reacting to the deep, deep throbs. Alive. Hungry. Addiction setting in. Settling.
 
Full screen of Petra’s face reveal probably the truer state of her mental health. She is firstly covered in a thin film of sweat. Her hair has become tangled, and matted. In places it sticks to her face. Her eyes have become permanently narrowed, and glazed. Very distant. Nothing coherent coming from her eyes. Her cheeks expand and contract almost maniacally in time with how she takes deep breaths between the throbs. Her lips, very much like her clitoris, are trembling, quivering. Periodically she will suck her lower lip into her mouth, before any of the copious amount of drool can dribble over. Often she swallows the drool, her sweating, dripping throat rolling gently with the swallow. I purr as I watch. Delicious.
 
For long periods there is only the sound of her breathing. Not normal breathing, but a little vocal. As though her vocal chords are quivering with the rest of her. Occasionally though she will let out an amplified moan followed by sometimes incoherent mumbles, or indeed very lucid, very coherent ones.
 
“AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH..... PLEASSSSSSSSSSEEEEEEE GOD HELPPPPP ME.”
 
I tend to clench my own thighs at those coherent pleadings. Those ones are from the soul. The very pit of her being. If she were asked if she wanted to be released, or have an orgasm. Her choice would be immediate. “Orgasm.” Every single time, orgasm. Such is the efficiency of the developed technology at my facility.
 
Underneath, her breasts hang heavy. They also quiver. The delicate pale flesh quivering in time with the rest of her. And little beads of sweat, collected on the tips of those massively engorged nipples. Deliciously sensitive. Deliciously Large. Thick. Elongated. The membrane over each nipple stretched so thin that it is practically transparent. Little veins visible. And the blood. It’s almost possible, such is the transparency to see the dark red blood inside the nipples. As though they are little blood sacks. Except in this case, hyper-sensitive blood-sacks. The most delicate, and private feminine flesh pieces, hyper-vulnerable; the nerve endings bare; the doorway to the soul.
 
I study her for a little longer. Laugh softly to myself at my own ability to show some humor. In front of me is a panel housing a huge array of controls for amongst other things, the laser beams. One of the buttons is red. A stark contrasting red compared to the grayness of all other buttons. The button is labeled “*Cum Button*”. I caress it with a fingertip at the same time laughing again softly to myself. The simplicity of the button, and its label hide the absolute technology behind what it does. Once depressed, the button microscopically adjusts all active laser beams. Spreads the beams very slightly so that they caress the tips. In this case, the tips of Petra’s nipples, and clitoris, the labia’s beams would spread and intensify thus feeding the clitoris more.
 
To give you some idea of the effectiveness of this ‘treatment,’ by simply caressing one nipple tip, gently, with a fingertip, with no other contact to the second nipple or clitoris, is sufficient to give an intense, shattering orgasm. If both nipples, the clitoris and labia are caressed by laser beams together and in unison, as will now be the case with Petra, the resulting orgasm is very, very powerful. Detrimentally so. It’s not just a single massive orgasm. It’s multiple orgasms, all rolled into one. The length of orgasm controlled entirely by myself. The likelihood of Petra ‘recovering’ all of her wits, or recovering at all from such an orgasm is quite minimal. Just so there is no mistake or misunderstanding, I have no wish, or desire for her to recover at all. This journey is one way for Petra.
 
The orgasm produced by laser in this way is not like a normal orgasm. It is very pinpoint -focused. It emits from the base of the clitoris. It is a clitoris-focused orgasm. But more than that, it rises from the clitoris’ core to the very tip, once the tip is caressed. Once there, the orgasm explodes in intensity to such degrees that passing out often occurs. If I were to illustrate such an orgasm, it would be like a volcano - the volcano itself being the clitoris and with the throb in the base; this would be represented by red-hot lava that rises and rises and then explodes. Only I control this orgasm. The long-term effect of such orgasm, or a series of orgasms, is similar to drug addiction. Nothing else matters. Just the hit. An addiction in every sense of the word.
 
I laugh again softly at my own Cum Button joke as I casually depress the button, and wait for that split-second it takes to register on Petra’s face. Firstly, her eyes peel open wide, bulge actually as though about to burst. Then her lips… peel apart in a silent scream, just before her actual scream is emitted one long pitch punctuated only as she takes in deep breaths.
 
“MMMMMMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH”
 
The quivering body and genitalia replaced to a violent shaking only controlled by the expert restraints applied, holding her at the mercy of the laser beams gently caressing her nipple tips. And her clitoris tip. And the labia. All throbs coming into one being fed into that clitoris base… into the “Mamma Throb.” That throb rising and rising then exploding as Petra’s head melts. Wave after wave after wave of intense, undiluted orgasm. I watch as she ‘squirts’ juices from her sex right back, a few feet from the rig. That impresses me. Impresses me a great deal. A squirting, addicted mom. Her eyes manic. Face twisted into ecstasy and agony. Fingers curling, stretching. Toes curling, stretching.
 
“MMMMMMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH”
 
Time after time. That noise Petra made, not really human at all. Subhuman maybe. A woman at the height of sexual pleasure and beyond, but also in a pit of despair. And beyond a pit of despair as her orgasms overlap and work her into exhaustion. I look casually at the second hand sweeping round the face of the wall clock. Then back to her. She can’t stop orgasming. For two whole minutes she can’t stop.
 
“MMMMMMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH”
 
Pitiful sounds. Her torso dripping with sweat. Her face barely recognizable as the same Petra from the perfect life. Lips quivering eyes wide as wave after wave of intense orgasm courses through her..... then...... NOTHING! As I press the button again. The orgasm stopped immediately in its tracks as the lasers revert to normal operation. Petra panting, crying. Limp on the rig.
 
The thing about such intense orgasms is that often, in their aftermath remains a seething, invasive guilt. Especially orgasms given by me. To my chosen ones.
 
Petra sobbing. Pitiful sobs as she comes down. The sobs only intensifying the further she comes down. Not the other way round. That will be the guilt setting in. Pure, almost putrid guilt. And shame. There is an amount of time between coming down from such an orgasm and when once again that deep, deep throb begins again. The cycle restarting. A vicious circle. In that time the absolute guilt will do its work, reducing her even more.
 
By the time I re-enter the room, Petra’s sobs have ebbed a little. There are still wracking, heaving sobs. She will have never experienced a depth of despair like this one. Although, little does she know the depths to which she will be taken either.
 
I have taken off my white medical coat. For Petra, her part in my ‘research’ is over. I am in an expensive designer, fitted suit with heels, hose and distinctive perfume that will come as a welcome reminder of the outside world to Petra. But in complete, utter contrast, there is a slight change in my tone of voice. More formal. More detached. When Petra needs desperately to hear a friendly voice. A sympathetic voice, when she needs to see an encouraging smile, she won’t.
 
But I don’t speak to her immediately. My heels click the floor so she knows I am there. Her head is hanging. Exhaustion plays a big part. Her breaths are deep, wheezing from her chest. Just about now, the reemergence of those distant, distant throbs. I look at her tethered flesh, satisfied with what I see.
 
“You are an intelligent woman, Petra. I don’t need to tell you that there is a big problem here. You do know that, don’t you?”
 
My voice clear, with a stern, professional edge. Completely a different tone to the one previously used. Petra manages to nod her head. Lifting it slightly, then lowering it.
 
“Yesssss... I don’t know what’s the matter with me. I’m sorry, I just don’t know.”
 
Another sob racks her as she finishes talking.
 
“With immediate effect, I am removing you from this research program.”
 
As my words sink in, she raises her head. Face a mess. Mascara streaks down her cheeks. Lipstick cracked and chipped away by her teeth in her most desperate moments of need and despair.
 
“Can I g-go home... t-to my daughter... my b-beautiful daughter?”
 
Genuine, deep, soul-searching pleading in her eyes. My face remains expressionless. Totally unfeeling. Yet my eyes piercing hers, looking deep into her.
 
“Look at you Petra. Look at the state of you. You’ve turned my research program into a sexual trip for yourself. You’ve made an obscene ‘mess’ all over my floor. You’ve used my facility and this program to obtain sexual gratification in the most depraved, obscene way. At least that’s the way it looks. Our equipment measured a two-minute long, intense orgasm for god’s sakes! Two minutes of solid absolute orgasm! There is most definitely an underlying problem that has been exposed by my research. I remind you, I still have a duty of care to you. Issues that are exposed during the program have to be dealt with. Resolved. I simply cannot let you go like this. It just is not going to happen.”
 
Her eyes glaze over as I talk to her. Back into that despair state. The blame filtering into her psyche, and resting there. The application of guilt, progressing apace. And those re-emerging throbs. Very important to her now. Helping to soften the hit of guilt and shame a little.
 
“Let me just ask you something Petra. Tell me, what you think your best physical attributes are? Just tell me, off the top of your head....”
 
She lifts her head again. Closes her eyes, blows her lips out as she feels another throb travel from the pit of her clitoris and up, just falling short of the tip. The all-important tip.
 
“I h-have good legs... breasts.... bottom. I like my lips too.....”
 
Her voice has a broken, but husky edge to it. I just look at her, nodding my head with each attribute she mentions. In her eyes, genuine interest in divulging this information driven by that exposed sexuality and need.
 
“Yes Petra, yes, I agree with all those things. And there are probably more besides. But now tell me..... Your daughter’s date of birth? Your last Christmas present to her? Who is her class teacher? What is her favorite color? Her favorite pop band?.....”
 
The blankness over her face. A palpable realization, a knowledge that she doesn’t know the answer to the questions. Renewed shame. Not just shame, but deep palpable shame. Another stream of tears spill from both eyes. It’s not her fault she can’t remember, but she doesn’t know that. She doesn’t realize that her single focus, that single focus, that throb... and that intense beautiful, chaotic orgasm are her life from here on in. She can’t answer me. Her head just moves slowly side to side before hanging down again. Another groan. Another throb.
 
“You see Petra, I also have a duty of care to your daughter. Yes your ‘beautiful’ daughter. Questions exist, at least in the immediate future of your fitness to be a mother. Your ability to answer simple questions about your own daughter appears to be non-existent. I simply cannot allow you any contact with Stefani until your issues have been dealt with.”
 
Her head remains hanging but she cries out in despair. A deep, gut-wrenching cry. I like that sound. A grown, mature, intelligent woman crying so bitterly in despair that the hairs on the back of my neck spring to life.
 
“Y-you can’t d-do this to me. T-this has to be illegal. Against the law.”
 
She doesn't really believe what she is saying. The throbs are taking over again.
 
“Oh but, yes I can Petra. The law is very much on my side. My research programs are very much operated within the law. As are the measures in place for side effects, issues found and uncovered during the research. The consent form is a legal document. A binding one. You need help Petra. Serious professional help. You are now my problem and I intend to solve that problem.”
 
My tone unfeeling, cold all the way through.
 
“C-can I see Stefani.... p-please just a short visit.”
 
Once again that desperate, guttural pleading that I liked so much. I don’t immediately reply. Leaving it for what must seem like an age.
 
“Once you have been moved to the other place. Once I can see your willingness to accept you have a problem. Once I can see your willingness to cooperate. Once I can see progress in your rehabilitation, then, yes I will arrange for you to ‘see’ Stefani. You won’t be able to speak to her. Or her to you. Or touch her. Or have any contact at all, but I will arrange for you to ‘see’ her. Do you understand, Petra? Do you understand what I am saying to you?”
 
Her eyes brighten again, with that little bit of hope. Any hope in between those throbs. Any slight light of hope in that pit of despair.
 
“Yes... yes... yes, thank you so much, yes, I understand...”
 
Genuine gratitude in a broken voice. There’s nothing like a mother’s love. A wonderful tool to create devastation in that same mother’s life.
 
“.... B-but what other place do I have to be moved to? I d-don’t understand....”
 
“Just details Petra, just details. You cannot stay in this area of the clinic. It’s not equipped to house someone like you. In the first place I have to Section you under the Mental Health Act and you will be moved to the secure area of the clinic where you can be taken care of and rehabilitated.”
 
Another cry of despair as what i am saying filters in. I let that sink in, let her respond.
 
“I’m being ‘locked up’? B-but what about my house, my job..... my life?”
 
Such gradual, deep shocks to the system often incur flashbacks. Memories. In this case Petra’s memories of her former, perfect life. Sincere bemusement in her voice punctuated by gasps every time a throb rippled through her. My voice a little sterner.
 
“You have issues Petra. Problems. You can’t seriously expect to mix with ‘normal’ people surely? Regarding your ‘life’ - legalities will be taken care of in due course. That just ensures your finances and property are taken care of. Also a letter of resignation from your position with the company that employed you. This way it can be done quietly with no fuss. This is to save you from the embarrassment of doing it publicly. It also saves the company from the embarrassment. Everything hush-hush. So much better for everyone.”
 
Petra struggling to take it in. Finding it hard to focus as the throbs increase in volume and intensity again. Her lips blow out as she tries to absorb it. Inside herself hoping that just one of those throbs makes its way, all the way to the tip of her clitoris. She finds if she focuses, just on the throb, she can get the tiniest micro-shots of pleasure that remind her of that mind-blowing orgasm. Yes that’s what she felt she had to do. What she must do. Focus.
 
“.... One other thing. A letter of consent to the placement of your daughter into my care for an unlimited time. You need to sign this. Obviously its for an undisclosed time simply because we do not know how long your rehabilitation will take. It ensures that Stefani is properly looked after. Taken care of at least until she is of adult age. I assure you, my credentials are impeccable on teen-care.”
 
I watch the words filter in, taking longer than normal due to her preoccupation with the throbs.
 
“Do you understand, Petra. This is just legal requirements. Nothing for you to worry about, ok?”
 
She blows those gorgeous full lips out again before hanging her head.
 
“Yessssss for god’s sakes yessssss yes I understand.”
 
For the first time, a greedy impatience over her exhausted, weary face.
 
“Oh there is no god here Petra. Only I can help you in here.”
 
I can’t help but smile at my own little joke even if it is coldly, cruelly delivered,
 
 
SIX - Beyond The Point Of Return
 
The changes applied to intimacies during my laser ‘treatment’ is irreversible. Petra’s clitoris will remain 3.0 cm long and 1.0 cm in diameter. Quite a catastrophic, and visible change from its normal discreet, hooded existence. Her nipples will remain 3.5 cm long and 2 cm in diameter at the tip. Between the tips and the bases of the nipples they are bulbous, fat and dark purple, grape-like. Likewise, the labia fattening, distending also a permanent feature of Petra now. Also irreversible is the hypersensitivity applied to these organs. That will not go away. Either with time, or body-clock intervention. The ‘throb’, also now a distinct, important and permanent focus in Petra’s life. Guilt, and shame also a creeping, and increasing hell for Petra. The ‘focus’ the guilt and shame would eventually shift, but remain palpable. Almost putrid on her psyche. At the moment that guilt concentrated on the losing of her daughter, and the intense pleasure of orgasm. All in the mix. All working to soul-destroying effect. I liked that!
 
“Petra. I’m going to have to take you off this rig now. But it will have to be done slowly so that your circulation can return to normal. Also..... there have been unexpected changes, to your intimacies during your time here. The changes are unexpected and unexplainable which adds to the issues we have to resolve. You need to see what’s happened to you. You will probably be shocked by what you see. But you need to see, to understand that the problems we have to resolve are complex...... do you understand, Petra?”
 
I am in front of her crouched down, on my heels again. I know those distant throbs will be two or three seconds apart and I know her focus will be on them. But she will hear my voce and understand the words. An example of the multitasking women are good at. It doesn’t escape my notice, the way Petra’s impressive tongue slides out, across her lips and the way her eyes linger on my arched feet in high heels. Pour over the sheer, silky smooth nylon sheathing my own, not badly shaped lower legs. I don’t comment on it at all. Or even give away that I have noted it. I simply stay in position a little longer. Let the vision feed into Petra’s psyche.
 
“Yes... yes, I understand.”
 
“Just relax as you feel the rig move. I will readjust you bit by bit. It will then be stopping to adjust the restraint. Effectively as of......... two hours ago, you have been Sectioned. You are in effect a person with mental health issues, so you have to remain restrained. But you do understand that.... don’t you?”
 
Pouring the despair and hopelessness into her. Piling it on top of the guilt, the shame. And all the time that ever increasing, ever important focus. The throbs... all being fed into the very deep base of her quivering distended clitoris. There’s a groan, or something like a groan, from the pit of her stomach as my words filter in.
 
“Yyyyyyes...............”
 
“Good girl. It’s important you understand the processes you are going through. Everything that’s happening to you. It can’t be easy, losing your beautiful daughter this way. She has been asking abut you, you know?”
 
I watch carefully, study Petra’s reaction. She absorbs the throbs, focuses on them. And yet my own ‘understanding’ and ‘concern’ just a mask for the deliberate psychological torture I apply with a chilling expertise. She wracks a sob, as much as the restraint allows. And a noise comes from her. Dripping with despair, almost like a ‘grieving.’
 
“It’s ok though. I told her you’d gone away for a while and would be back, eventually.”
 
And then ‘hope.’ False hope. The noise in response to that a little more uplifted with the hope. She absorbs throb after throb focusing trying to get the most from it. Always falling just short of that earth-moving orgasm.
 
“B-buttttt I d-do g-get to see her.... r-right?”
 
Her lips puffing out. Eyes still pouring over my legs and shoes.
 
“Ohhhhhh yes Petra. I told you... if I see progress, if I see cooperation you will be able to see Stefani. Absolutely I promise that.”
 
Sincerity and authority in my voice. I stand slowly letting Petra’s hungry eyes follow the line of my legs under the tightness of my skirt. I turn to one of the invisible cameras and do the “cut” sign across my throat, indicating that the laser beams can now be turned off. Their work has been done. At least for the time being. This part of the deception is all but complete.

________________________________
 
I relieve the restraint via remote control. First the strain on her body. The slight concave arch in her back. The bar at the base of her spine lifted a little. A gasp of relief from her lips. The arms allowed to come more forward relieving that strain. Another gasp. The breasts becoming slightly less stretched, more hanging. The legs slightly less bent but kept spread wide. Another gasp of relief. The whole rig being brought more upright and Petra into a more naturally upright position. Her striking red hair slightly matted and now her whole expression a complete stark, almost frightening change from the attractive, aloof beautiful composure of how she used to be in her perfect life.
 
“There, that must be a little better for you Petra?”
 
I can see the continued focus on the throbs as she nods almost vacantly. The focus is there in her eyes.
 
“Mmmmm yes.... yes, thank you.”
 
The thanks pouring from her lips very sincere, heartfelt and yet her focus, her true focus never changing. The throb. Three throbs mingling into one deeper throb. In the very deep base of her clitoris. She can’t see herself at this point. Bars and restraint prevent that. But I am not ready for her to see herself just yet.
 
“I have to put a body belt on you Petra, so that I can take your arms down and secure them to the belt ok?”
 
She knows the word ‘cooperation’ and the word ‘progress’. These are fresh in her mind. She is also still part-tranced so this too is aiding her cooperation. At the same time the part-trance will be cushioning, just a little, the actual despair she is suffering. Soon I will de-trance her. Take her out of it and watch as she sinks those extra notches.
 
“Y-yes, yes I understand.”
 
“Good girl. I’m going to put the body belt on first and then release each arm one at a time. Just your wrists will be secured to the body belt ok?”
 
I spot that glaze in her eyes as her focus is concentrated on yet another throb.
 
“Mmmmmmmmm yesssss yes ok.”
 
“Gooooood girl.”
 
My voice for once dropping slightly, to an encouraging, crooning syrupy Arabic thickness.
 
I work meticulously. Sliding the wide, soft leather body belt around her middle and securing it with double buckles. The belt has the deliberate effect of cinching the waist and flaring the hips. The wrist restraints, just single stainless steel hoops are located slightly behind each hip, and high which results in the wrists being placed back to the restraint and the elbows bent, shoulders back making her 38d cup breasts prominent. I make a slight adjustment to her legs, spreading them wider via the remote.
 
Petra wallows in her throbs as with the same remote control, I bring down huge mirrors from the ceiling. The mirrors are magnification mirrors. Manufactured to exacting standards. She’s not really aware. Not really compus-mentus about what is happening in effect right in front of her eyes. The angle of the sexual discharge drips altered now. The drip from a single point. From the shaft of her distended clitoris and down into the drain beneath her.
 
Drip Drip Drip.
 
I make sure the mirrors are correctly aligned and placed before I break into her world with my voice.
 
“Petra, I want you to look at yourself. Just look directly in front at yourself...ok?”
 
There’s possibly two or three seconds where her eyes become lucid and they focus on the mirrors. Flitting over the surface taking in the vision she eventually realizes is herself. I watch carefully, every reaction every nuance. The eyes settling on her nipples. First one then the other. Huge purpled nipples. Raised reddened areolas. Then down, to her exposed sexuality. A section of the mirror super magnified so the minute detail cannot escape her. Extended clitoris. Thick, long, protruding and dripping with her own thick, copiously produced juices. Her fattened, distended labia also thickly coated with her own self-produced ooze. It’s just a frozen moment in time. Maybe three seconds. Maybe four as she takes it in, realizes it is herself she is looking at and then visibly, recoils in the horror of what she sees. Her face a mask of disgust, and revulsion. Her lips parting, peeling from whatever is left of gloss on gloss.
 
“....W-w-what has happened to me... w-what ISSSSS happening to me?”
 
The self-revulsion, the self-loathing dripping from her broken voice. The wrist restraint ringlets chinking together as she tenses, tries to move her arms to no avail. Her eyes roaming up to her thick, long, teat-like nipples, eyes opening wider, starker as she takes them into her psyche.
 
“I know Petra. I wish you didn’t have to be shocked like this. But it couldn’t be avoided. You had to see what you have become. In answer to your question... I don’t know. We don’t know. It’s obvious you are not normal. It’s obvious we can’t just release you. Even more obvious that you cannot be reunited with your daughter at this moment in time......”
 
My voice trails off. She is hearing what I am saying. Every word. Every meaning, but her eyes are fixed on her dripping sex. So crude. So obscene. And that part understanding now, of those throbs inside her. She can see the musculature movement making it seem like her sex is alive. The roll of the flesh. The pulsating as each throb winds its way through inside her intimacies.
 
“I’m disgusting.... obscene..... worse.”
 
All the time her eyes don’t leave the visions in the mirrors. It’s like she cannot take her eyes away. What she says she truly feels and yet she also feels the need of the throb. The hunger. And the guilt and the shame. At this time,
 
Scritch Scritch Scritch
 
on her tethered wide upper thigh, bringing her down, out of the part-trance. No words to acknowledge that. Just the widening of her eyes as a deeper shock and despair set it. All the time my voice neutral, filtering in.
 
“Good girl. And yes, yes you are disgusting. You are obscene. Probably more besides. But, like I told you, our intention is to fix that. Fix you. Everyyyyyyyything will be ok Petra, everything.”
 
My own voice dripping into her. Agreeing with her own assessment of herself and yet caressing her also. The shock of seeing herself has taken something else out her. The shock is evident, palpable across her face. But also, something else, another tiny little bit of who she was has been taken away. As I retract the mirrors back into the ceiling, I see her focus return to the throbs. Her fleshy tongue lashing across her full lips.
 
Focus Focus Focus. Throb Throb Throb.
 
Trying to get the most from them. Greedily doing so. I step back, enjoy this effect for some time before I break into her world again.
 
“Petra, I have to get you ready for moving to the secure unit. That means we have to leave this room and go to another. We have to get you covered up, made a little more presentable for the hand-over. Do you understand?”
 
My language now deliberately altering... referring to, pointing more towards her ‘incarceration’ than a clinical environment. This is designed to feed her psyche. Destroy a little more of her old self. I know she will be taking in every word, computing it simply because she is the ideal, perfect ‘subject.’ Intelligence as well as Beauty. The ability to know and understand perfectly, everything that is happening to her despite her diminishing mental state. And now, no part-trance to cushion these psychological blows. The sadist in me loving that.
 
“Yes... yes I understand.”
 
A delicious acceptance in her voice. Acceptance dripping with a self-loathing and guilt. And in the background always that
 
Throb Throb Throb!
 
 
SEVEN - Rubbered
 
There was a soft, utter bemusement in Petra’s voice as she looked at herself in the mirror.
 
“B-but, why do I have to have, this on..... why?”
 
She had been taken to the preparation room. Another basically isolated room used for this very purpose. The whole of one wall was a mirror. A curtain existed for whenever required. In this instance that wasn’t the case. Petra could see herself, and the process being carried out. I wanted that very much to be the case.
 
She had been taken from the abject horror of the rig room, to the preparation room still cinched at the waist. Wrists secured to the back of her hips to the body belt. At first she had been barely able to stand and had stumbled like a long-legged bambi trying to readjust her footing. Just getting used to standing again. Her stance and gait had been altered a little by the changes between her legs. Once in the prep-room the body belt had been removed and discarded. Its work had been done.
 
I had fitted her with a one-piece transparent latex body and head suit. Slightly thicker latex than that used in surgical gloves. The suit designed to be a tight second skin fit. One that once fitted, bonded to the skin effectively becoming the skin. Completely encasing feet, legs, hips, torso and up over the neck and shoulders. Encasing her head but with her plume of red hair erupting from a tight hole in the crown. The edge of the latex just rimmed above her eyebrows and circling her face and around. Flattening the ears to the sides of her head and with just two small ear holes to allow each to maintain a reduced hearing capacity. The latex then wrapping down around her jaws, around her chin edging just in the dimple of her chin. Her face framed, bizarrely in glossy see-through rubber.
 
Arms completely covered except for her hands. The latex sealed to her wrists just above her hands. This latex suit, a permanent “under-seal,” as it were. The one and only seam running up her back, but sealed and closed smooth. The whole fit, totally skin tight giving her complexion a strangely glossy sheen and with her face exposed, stark and pale. Vulnerable even.
 
Indeed the sight of herself in this under-suit would create bemusement. Not least because of the reinforced holes, at the nipples through which, each of her distended swollen teats had been prized and gently pulled until they popped out into the open air. The circumference of the holes deliberately smaller than that of the nipple base so that it was constricted, squeezed ever so tightly. A further feed for the nipple throbs. The transparent latex settling then, pressing to the raised areolas emphasizing them more.
 
And between the legs. The suit which had appeared sealed but which in fact was slit, from the area just above the crotch right round to her anal rose. This slit prized open and her labia gently squeezed through, pulled so the very bases were constricted by the closing of the skin tight reinforced crotch latex and left to hang under her. And finally, the clitoris.... ever so gently prized through, pulled and tweaked through so that it protruded, erect. And again the latex settling, constricting the genitalia out. Pressing into her flesh and the extended, fleshy bits outside, exposed. The clitoris and labia the most alarmingly obscene sights as they continually dripped Petra’s juices.
 
Drip Drip Drip
Throb Throb Throb
 
“Hmmmmmm, Petra... this is part of the diagnosis and treatment. It’s a little complex to go into fully. Basically though it’s about sealing everything that’s good inside. That is inside the latex.....”
 
I run my fingertip over her smooth latexed tummy as an illustration to her that she isn’t all bad, or wrong. A very soft, almost tender run of the finger.
 
“....And everything that’s bad is kept outside so that it can be dealt with.....Can you see what I mean Petra?”
 
To illustrate that I run one single finger around the sides of one of her fattened, thick nipples, amplifying the throb she feels from there. Her pretty face, distressed face, partly framed in latex wincing. Lips puffed out. The use of the word ‘bad’ planting another seed in her head that this sexuality, the sexuality she is replacing all her focus on now, that IS all her focus, is bad and needs to be exposed in order to be dealt with. She hangs her head slightly, but nods as well, that she understands.
 
“Good girl Petra. It’s always much, much better if you understand. Besides this is just the under-seal. This under-suit will stay on you, keeping you ‘fresh,’ like a shrink-wrapping, for your whole stay here. Petra, you do want to cooperate , don’t you?....”
 
Cooperation is already ingrained into her substantially deteriorating mind. Cooperation means that she will at the very least ‘see’ her beautiful daughter. Even her receding mind, ever focusing on that ‘throbbing’ won’t let go of the mother in her. Motherly love. The maternal instinct. Something like basic animal instinct. And yet something also able to create a soul-destroying despair so palpable that it drains that very spark from what were once bright, huge pools of eyes. My voice caressing again. Justifying the bizarre look and feel.
 
“Mmmmmm y-yessss, yes I ‘have’ to cooperate, have to.”
 
I smile, stroke her tummy again. All smooth and latexed. Just under the glossy orbs of her breasts, sheathed in skin-like latex, and with those deep, angry looking purple nipples. All big fat and throbbing. All the time throbbing and exposed. No latex shrink-wrapping for them. And a glance down, between her long, long shapely legs. Labia distended, fat, hanging, red puffy, very sensitive. Feeding, always feeding the clitoris. Her clitoris also protruding, erect, purple... the same purple as her nipples and the membrane so stretched that it’s almost transparent. No latex shrink-wrapping for her down there either. The centre point of her focus. The centre of her focus. Ever increasingly so. All her bad bits exposed. Left out of the comforting latex shrink-wrapping, and dripping.
 
Drip Drip Drip
 
“Yes that’s right Petra. You ‘have to.’ You have to cooperate. So let’s finish getting you ready. The secure unit already knows you’re coming.....”
 
My smile to her is sincere. Although it is a sincere smile in that I am sincerely elated to be witnessing the breakdown of a mature, intelligent woman. A mother. I clench my thighs but this doesn’t register on my face at all.
 
_____________________________________
 
Approximately one hour later, Petra was ready for the transfer. The hand-over to the secure unit. Her new home. The vision now changed. Complete.
 
Totally sheathed in smooth, shiny black latex. The second layer stretched over the first forming a total outer skin. A seal. This hooded cat-suit complete with hands and individual fingers. The latex so tight, so fitting over each finger that the wrinkles of flesh over each knuckle clearly defined, compressed through the shiny blackness of the latex. The suit fitting every contour, every curve of Petra’s statuesque form. And ending in a wide, double latex collar that is fitted tightly around her neck.
 
Her ‘bad’ extremities still protrude, exposed. A genuinely unsettling sight. Three points in an otherwise smooth, shiny, perfect package, from which such desperately sensitive, stretched, almost transparent, erect, intimate pieces of flesh protrude. Bad flesh! The nipple holes and crotch areas of the latex suit, designed and engineered in such a way that the protrusions are maximized. Totally exposed. Totally vulnerable.
 
Petra wasn't really recognizable as Petra any more. The second part of the suit, a full head and face hood, secured to the collar of the main cat suit via a delicate zip, secured with a tiny gold padlock at the back of her neck. The hood tight fitting to the head and face. Ears sealed flat to her head. Tiny holes only for further impaired hearing. Her hair again protruding, erupting from the crown, the stark redness a complete contrast to the shiny glossy blackness of the suit. Slightly in front of the hair eruption, towards the front of her head, a fixed gold-threaded nipple. Like something that something else could be screwed to. A strange sight. Almost alien.
 
The black latex hugging and settling into all of Petra’s facial contours and features. There were eyeholes. reinforced in the same way as the nipple and crotch areas, so that the rubber pressed into her face surrounding the eyes, making them seem like they bulged out, big, stark. And her eyelashes, thick and curled. Batting up and down very quickly as she attempted to adapt and absorb these new sensations. Any communication through her eyes amplified. Accentuated. Little securing points in the rubber surrounding her eyes, for the addition of blanking rubber pads, or differing degrees of transparent latex film in order to debilitate, or deny any sight. The latex compressed over her nose. Two tiny nostril holes that housed little nipples inserted into the nostrils to aid her breathing. The hood shaped around her mouth, allowing her full, attractive lips to protrude out exposed. Again the rubber pressing into the area around her mouth making the lips pout in a more exaggerated fashion. Full, pouting, ‘bad’ lips.
 
The perfect, line of Petra’s long, long legs had not been spoilt at all by the inclusion of the boots. Far from it, they had been enhanced and extended by the tight -fitting, lace-up boots which edged tightly to just on, or minutely below the knees. The boots, with seven-inch heels, forced her feet to arch. The arch, maximized since there was no platform sole to lessen it. The heels very thin, metal-tipped forcing a careful balance and the height such that her weight was shifted, and forced forward to the balls of her feet. The stance of the boots ensured an accentuated arch of the back, a splay of the magnificently long tapered legs as she tried to adjust and get used to them and a delicious ‘thrust back’ of her bottom.
 
Her task of adjustment was not made easier. A reinforced latex body-belt, much like the one she wore earlier had been fitted around her middle, except more subtle, more organic. Acting as an over-corset, cinching her waist, and also housing the rings to the rear of her hips, to which her wrists had been secured via clips in the wrists of her cat-suit. These securing points ensured her elbows bent and pointed backwards, her shoulders forced back, heavy latexed breasts thrust forward. I had covered the mirror for this fitting, choosing for the reveal so that her view of herself would create a further shock to her system.
 
Correct hand-over apparel. Head to toe latex. Hooded. Extreme heels and restraints. There was a further requirement which I had decided to leave out for her trip to the secure unit. It had been agreed that ankles would be hobbled via a chain to restrict the steps taken.This would re-enforce the restraint psychologically. My idea actually. But in Petra’s case, well, I had decided to leave this out for reasons to be revealed.
 
______________________________________
 
“O-oh..... my god! L-look at me!
 
The shock was instant, palpable. A slight miss-step on the heels. I steady her by holding one elbow firmly. 5’10” In bare feet, 6’5” in seven-inch heels, Petra dwarfed my relatively diminutive height even in my own heels. The difference was Petra was in the descendancy. I in the ascendancy.
 
“Yes Petra.... look at you indeed. In my secure unit, this is how ‘sexual offenders’ are dressed and presented....”
 
I talk slowly letting my words and tone filter in. Petra is no longer a ‘volunteer’ and she has been sectioned under the mental health act. I had re-glossed her lips and so their movement in contrast to the surrounding black latex is highlighted.
 
“B-but.... I’m n-not a sexual offender.......”
 
Her voice trails off in agonizing despair.
 
“Well Petra, you haven’t committed any sexual offenses that we are aware of. But, your problem is sexual. Clearly sexual and its how you’ll be treated until we get to the bottom of all this. Like an offender. A sexual offender. The sooner you understand, the sooner rehabilitation can progress.”
 
She lets out a little guttural cry of despair as I continue to speak.
 
“Take a look at yourself Petra. Your femininity enhanced to the maximum. Shrink-wrapped in a latex double skin.... all of your good bits accentuated and sealed in. All of your bad bits also accentuated but left exposed so they can be dealt with...”
 
Petra just takes the vision of herself in. The boots enforcing a splayed leg stance due to the sheer height of the thin stiletto heels. Those same boots so accentuating her long shapely legs. The overall vision, like something from another world. A creature even. Every so often this ‘creature’ dripping from between the legs. That dripping and the sheer slippery wetness of her exposed genitalia a permanent feature. Her voice broken, like that of her personality.
 
“Y-yes, yes of course.”
 
She can’t take her eyes off herself in the mirror. Even sliding out her tongue, across her lips side to side as another now familiar, welcome, needed throb works its way through her.
 
“Come Petra, its time for your transfer to the secure unit.”
_______________________________

The secure unit was housed on the lower of the sub-level floors. A short walk to the elevator from the preparation room and then down two levels. I had deliberately left the hobble chain between Petra’s ankles off. The reason for this clear. It took a little while for her to get used to the seven-inch heels, but apart from that, with the lack of hobble, and with no restrictions in her steps, it was possible for her to discover the ‘friction’ her labia and clitoris gained and she would search for that friction with every step. Every little bit of friction, emphasizing the throbs. Dripping labia rubbing together feeding up into the base of the clitoris. The clitoris itself moving with every step, the blood pumped to its tip with every step taken. Her latexed breasts shrink-wrapped and yet moving slightly, sending every small vibration up into the base of her nipples.
 
My point being... after she adapted to the heels, and became used to her steps, her strutting, swaggering walk, wrists pinned to her hips, made her look like a hungry sexual predator. She wouldn’t be able to help that. She would be quite at the mercy of her own enhanced sexuality. Quite obscene when the expressions on her face accentuated this also. Lips moving, parting. Tongue sliding out and across her deep red lips every time she felt that throb, accentuated with friction.It amused me. It speeded up the drip drip drip from her sexuality. And a little, dirty groan from deep inside the pit of her stomach.
 
“mmmmmmmnnnnnnggggggggggggggg.”
 
“Good girl.... see I told you you would be back in high heels before you knew it. AND, you are so good in them, a natural. My little treat for you. I never break a promise you know.”
 
I spoke as we made our way to the lift. Quite an imposing sight. This tall, tethered, latexed wrapped woman, making her way with long, deliberate strides. Me gently holding her by the elbow. Supporting her as she made her predatory way with long purposeful strides. Her basest, latent sexuality on display.
 
“Mmmmm these heels are so high....I never thought I’d be able to walk in heels this high.”
 
Her voice is more a lazy, sex-dripping groan than a definite tone. I laugh softly.
 
“Awwwww Petra, it’s surprising what can be achieved with the right inspiration. You look absolutely stunning... even as a sexual offender....”
 
My voce trails off and we reach the elevator. We wait a few seconds then into it and down the two further levels. Really, down to the bowels of the building.Petra falls quiet, the sexual offender tag just massaging her psyche, and her despair. Just the odd creak and squeak of the latex and click of the metal tipped heels of her boots.
 
The lift opens directly into the reception area of the secure unit. This doesn’t resemble a boutique hotel like the research floor. Far from it. This is a secure unit in the truest, basest sense of the word. A solitary wooden desk and high backed chair, in front of floor to ceiling bars that sliced the corridor in two. The space in front of the barred area a basic reception. And then the area behind the bars. A dank foreboding area very dimly lit and with lower than normal ceiling clearance making the vacuum inside seem more foreboding.
 
No white walls down here. All black and with exposed pipe-work and electric cables running down the length of the ceiling. The vacuum more palpable down here. More acute. The hustle and bustle of the main public clinic seeming so far away. Even the silent but bright research area, seeming like it’s a different building far away. A different planet even. It might as well be.
 
Shuffling Petra into the reception areas, she would have felt it all close in around herself. The deep, deep intimidating presence of something resembling ‘evil’. It was meant to feel like that. It’s a heavy, acute thing that closes in around anyone who comes down here. I personally don’t spend much time here. My staff here are experts at what they do. I pay them well to do what they do. What they do down here is not described anywhere in the Geneva Convention.
 
At first there is no one behind the desk. After a few minutes, the sound of heels, coming back up from the gloom the other side of the bars. Emerging out of the shadows, a lady older than myself, approaching sixty. Very slight in build. Pale in complexion. A simple white coat covers her normal daywear. She unlocks the barred door, very slowly very methodically with her electronic key. Opens the door. Comes through it and turns and swipes the key again locking the door. It’s the procedure. All doors are locked and none are left open.
 
“Long time no see Sabirah..... and what, prey tell have you brought me today.”
 
Her voice is a very thick Austrian in accent. Almost erring towards stark German. It’s also the tone of a wise woman, experienced in life. Experienced in things normal people are not usually experienced in. Her eyes swing from me over to Petra and then they roam over Petra. From head to toe. Her ‘normal’ appearance makes Petra seem all the more bizarre.
 
“My God.... this one is special. I can tell just to look at her. Those legs go on forever. Those breasts, wow.”
 
She licks her lips. Petra shudders, shifts her heels. Her first contact with another person since her ‘problems’ have been exposed. I can see her delicious lips quivering. And I can see in her eyes as she absorbs another ‘throb’.
 
“Hmmmm yes Debra, it indeed is a long time no see. And well..... this was a ‘volunteer’, but we discovered some ‘issues’, hence her little visit to you.”
 
Our conversation slightly coded. Debra, a lifelong friend knew that a volunteer who ended up with her had been ‘selected’, well in advance. And it would be kind of a one-way trip for her. The conversation was all for Petra’s benefit since Debra had received Petra’s file, many many days before.
 
“Welllll Sabirah.... you know I don’t pre-judge down here. Although, by the looks of this one, she needs some ‘special’ help. And I will do my best to give her that special help. Just confirm for me, two layers of latex. The under-one sealed?”
 
A hint of a knowing smile between us. The non-inclusion of Petra in the conversation deliberate. A further sign of her detachment.
 
“Debra I have complete confidence in you and yes absolutely two layers. All the good sealed in, all the bad exposed and left out. A clinic Standard! Petra here wants to cooperate, totally. She knows she has issues that need to be dealt with.....”
 
My voice trails off as Debra feeds her eyes over the shrink wrapped latexed mother again. I can see the delight there, in Debra’s eyes. But also something much, much darker.
 
“I have some things to see too so I must leave you both. Petra knows that any visits with her daughter, and / or her eventual release from here are all dependent on her cooperation. She understands. Actually she is very intelligent, so your work should hold some special significance for both you, and her.”
 
Debra smiles. Eyes bright and again roaming over the enhanced form of Petra.
 
“Be good Petra... I will be kept informed at all times........”
 
My voice curt. Short. My smile wide then as I bid farewell to Debra. She silently blows a kiss to me as I get into the elevator.
 
 
EIGHT - Incarceration
 
Petra, takes up the story in her own words from here;
 
I didn’t know what was happening to me. If I was losing my mind, or not! Deep inside I felt grateful to Sabirah for exposing my ‘problem’ and then offering to help me with it. I was tearing apart inside not being able to be with Stefani, my daughter. But that despair was in between the ‘thrumming’ deep sensations that really were sending me out of my mind. There was something very wrong with me. Very twisted and I knew it had to be dealt with. Issues needed to be solved. Sabirah had been so kind to me, so understanding, so willing to help me. I had her to thank for all this. All of it. I felt, even between my fits of despair for my daughter, and fits of despair for this ‘thrumming’ or ‘throbbing’ a pang of sorrow, like a loss, as Sabirah left me with Debra in the secure unit of her clinic.
 
Even as the hum of the ascending lift with Sabirah in it, faded into the upper levels of a world that seemed normal, a terrible, terrible sense of dread, and stomach-churning feeling of imposing doom poured over me. My feet shifted. The heels clicked on a bare stone floor but apart from that it was silent. Dead silent.
 
Debra didn’t speak, or talk for what seemed an eternity. She didn’t even look at me, or acknowledge me at all. She had sat behind that wooden desk, pouring over the contents of a folder full of files. I began to feel like I didn’t exist. The smoothness. The warm fuzzy smoothness of the latex caressing my flesh, but somehow diminishing me. And those god awful, fucking delicious thrummings. Making my protruding, deep red lips quiver. And a noise, something like a ‘whimper’ as I tried desperately to coax the thrumming, the throbs further towards the tips of my obscene, exposed extremities. The silence and the dread was breaking my mind down as I stood in front of the desk. My latexed wrists clipped, secured to my own hips. Eventually..... very eventually, Debra took in a deep breath. She didn’t look up at me, she just spoke as she poured over another page.
 
“So you were a woman and mother, called Petra?”
 
The question was simple. Straightforward. But it deeply troubled me. I absorbed another thrumming sensation from deep. Shifted on the impossibly high heels and finding some saliva, spoke. But my voice was low, broken. It told of a rising torment. of a depleting mind.
 
“B-but.... I’m still Petra.... still a mother to my beautiful daughter....”
 
My voice trailed off. The emotion seeing tears spill from my wide, latex rimmed eyes. And the sound, of Debra letting out a deep sigh of impatience. Then she let her cold, narrow eyes wander up me from my severely arched feet in the boots, all the way up my tightly latexed legs and hips. Torso, breasts. Letting her eyes idle for what seemed an age on my protruding, teat and grape-like nipples... then over my latexed breast mounds and up to my face, resting, unsettling me, deeply on my eyes.
 
“I know Sabirah will have let you see yourself, as you are now. Never mind what you feel like inside. But what you ‘look’ like. You cannot be seriously expecting me to think, that you think you are a suitable mother? Or even that same woman... Petra.... as you were before your issues were exposed?”
 
Her voice was as cold as her eyes. The simplest of words from her cut me to ribbons. I knew what I looked like. But more than that I knew what I felt like. Inside. The deepest, deepest despair. And that thrumming. Throbbing. My increasing concentration on that intense sexual pleasure.
 
“Well? I asked you a question.”
 
Her voice so cold. Like this place so cold. Hard. Unfeeling.
 
“I’m s-sorry... y-yes yes you’re right I am sorry.”
 
“And your, uhmmmm ‘offspring’.... what would she think if she could see you now, hmmm? I don’t say your daughter. That would suggest you are her mother and that clearly is not the case.”
 
My lips quiver as I lift one stiletto just a little. Another thrumming resonating through my deeper femininity. At the same time, the hurt..... god forbid Stefani ever see me like this. But that wouldn’t happen. I am going to be made well again.... I had to believe that.
 
“Ohhhhhhh, s-she couldn’t see m-me.. not like this.... not like this....”
 
My voice trailing off. broken. A stream of tears cascading down shiny black latex cheeks. Debra getting up from the desk coming around to me at the front.
 
“I’m going to unclip your wrists. Let your blood circulate for a while. We’re going to talk. Or correction I am going to do most of the talking, you are going to listen, and learn. Do you understand?”
 
She unclips my wrists, which immediately relieves the ache. I seem to dwarf her. Tiny in comparison to me in my accentuated state.
 
“Y-yes... yes thank you. Thank you.....”
 
“Do NOT let your fingers anywhere near your extremities. Those obscene ‘things’ hanging out of your latex. Do you understand? If you do... well........”
 
Her voice trails off in a half-finished sentence leaving me to think the worse if I went against her wishes.
 
“Y-yes.. yes I understand.”
 
Debra goes behind me, to retrieve a stainless steel medical container on wheels. At least that is what it looks like to me as another THRUMMMMMMMMING vibrates through me. making me ‘want’ to run my finger over nipple tips, and down over saturated labias, and clitoris tip. I had been so shocked when I saw myself in Sabirah’s mirror. Those things that used to be called nipples. Those things that used to be called labia. That ‘thing’ that used to be my clitoris. And always dripping. Grotesque now.
 
Drip Drip Drip
 
“Good, good. You know I’ve been reading over your public profile. Very impressive. Successful city woman who has entertained most of who is anyone in the city. And even tea at the Palace......more than once!’
 
She talked as she placed the container.
 
“Like I said I am impressed. Even more impressed because of what you have ‘become’ now. How great has been the fall. How greater will be the continuing fall? Its probably best if we get the ground rules out of the way.....”
 
That coldness to her voice. And my nodding agreeing. Her seeing my agreement before she continues.
 
“Here, you are nothing. Less than nothing. Here, that you are allowed to ‘live’ is a privilege. Even the most basic of human rights here is a privilege. Any of the most basic human rights are strictly controlled. Your intake of nutrition will be strictly controlled. Your bodily functions will be controlled. Bladder controlled. Bowels controlled. If you are to be rehabilitated control of any form whatsoever has to be removed from you....”
 
Her voice matter-of-fact. A shiver down my spine. My lips peeling apart, a gasp as she speaks so coldly. unfeeling.
 
“What you have become is a disgrace to the female gender. Worse, a disgrace to your offspring. There is no evidence of you committing any sexual offenses, yet. And yet, you are a sexual offender. And, I have to say, one of the worse kind.”
 
I try to relieve and stretch my arms and wrists but that only seems to exacerbate the thrumming. Speeding up the flow of thrums. Still her words cutting through, debilitating me more and more.
 
“Yes, yes I’m sorry, truly sorry.”
 
Biting my full, lower lip as another thrumming resonates through me deep. The guilt now being heaped on me.
 
Debra opens the container, like a double door that splits it in half. Inside both sides are shelved and hold various things. The central piece of foam cut out, housing what I was to find out was a ‘posture collar.’ Gleaming black and almost organically curved and shaped to fit. Not like the ‘toys’ found in kinky shops and internet sites. This collar designed for a purpose. A very definite purpose. Like an extreme-fit neck corset. No fasteners as such, just the collar in two parts, the connectors of which would be swiped with Debra’s keycard to fit and lock the collar in place. The only other fitments, little D rings either side of the collar and at the front and rear.
 
She gave it to me. Telling me to place it around my own neck. I was too tall for her to do it herself. I held the both parts of the collar round my neck so that their edge met. Debra swiped with the card quickly from her tiptoes and I let out a yelp as I felt the collar tighten to my neck and throat. Seemingly under its own power. My neck extended, lengthening the spinal curve. Forcing the straight neck posture. Head upright, back.
 
“Ahhhhhhhhhggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.”
 
Eventually, neck and throat constricted. Head held at a permanent angle a permanent poise. My hand going up to it feeling its smoothness. Not just its smoothness, but its eerie organic fit and feel. So smooth and a rigid latex in makeup.
 
“There, better. Much better.....”
 
Debra talking aloud, more to herself than to me as she retrieves a stand on wheels. The stand a little taller than me and with various hooks and eyes for the attachment of.. whatever. And Debra, retrieving a silver chain with a silver clips at either end.
 
“Clip one end to the eye at the top of the pole, the other to the D-ring in front of your posture collar.”
 
It wasn’t a request. It was an order. I took the chain. The humiliation biting home again. It felt like I was leashing myself. A sinking feeling... awful, awful debilitating feeling. And then another of the thrumming throbs... I would kill, just to be able to touch my nipples, or clitoris.It was driving me insane.
 
“Like I said. You are ‘nothing’ here. Except a number. Your number is “SO-401”. That is, Sexual Offender 401. Not Petra High Powered PA. Or Petra mother of Stefani. Just “SO-401.”Is that clear?”
 
Debra then standing on tiptoes again to attach my wrists to the D-rings either side of the posture collar. Arms folded at the elbows and clipped, pulse side of the wrists to the smooth, stiff latex of the collar.
 
“Catching my breath as I listen to Debra, her voice so matter-of-fact. Catching my breath a second time. This time more acutely as I realize Debra has reached between my legs, gripped the thing that is my clitoris and is squeezing and pulling the sides. Using the natural lubricant to rub and rub the sides between her thumb and forefinger and at the same time pull and tug on the clitoris as though milking it. My back extended its arch exaggerating it a little, pushing my pelvis forward in order for Debra to be able to manipulate my clitoris with no hindrance.
 
“Yessssss yessssss yessssss that is clear... yessssssssssss.”
 
My heels scraping the floor as the throbs are amplified and coaxed ever towards the clitoral tip. The accentuated thrummings delicious to me, making me want them more and more.
 
“Of course I can be verrrrrrry nice to you. Make your time here verrrrrrrrrry nice.”
 
She manipulates my clitoris expertly like she has done it hundreds if not thousands of times before. Tugging it, milking it and rubbing the sides. Never touching the tip just sending me to madness as she does it. I lick my lips, grunt.
 
“MMMMMMMMNNNNGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.”
 
Pure sexual pleasure filling every nuance of my being.
 
“Yes that’s right. You like that don’t you? Mmmmmmmm yes... well go on SO-401, why don’t you orgasm to your heart’s content..... go on, go for it.”
 
As she speaks she very gently taps the tip of my clitoris with the index finger of her other hand. The all-important clitoris tip. The key to the ultimate hyper-pleasure.
 
Tap Tap Tap
 
And the orgasm is instant. A ten-fold increase in intensity to what I experienced in the research isolation rig room. The orgasm the most precious thing in my life as it screams through me making the whole length of me tremble, and vibrate. Debra pulling, rubbing and
 
Tap Tap Tap
 
“HHNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGGGNNNNNNNNGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH.”
 
The wash through me intense never abating. As long as Debra rubs, pulls and taps I keep cumming
 
“HHNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGGGNNNNNNNNGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH
HHNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGGGNNNNNNNNGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGGGNNNNNNNNGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH
NNGGGGGGGGGGGGGGNNNNNNNNGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH
HHNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGGGNNNNNNNNGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH
HHNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGGGNNNNNNNNGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH.”
 
Ahhhh fuckkkkkk that feeeeeels so gooooooooooddddddd..... so fucking goooooood.”
 
The obscenities heartfelt. My neck strained in the posture collar. But the release so wanted. So needed. So hungered for.
 
“MMMMMM yessssss that’s good... keep cumming SO-401… I want you to know how kind I can be.”
 
Tap Tap Tap
 
“HHNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGGGNNNNNNNNGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH
HHNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGGGNNNNNNNNGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGGGNNNNNNNNGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH
NNGGGGGGGGGGGGGGNNNNNNNNGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH
HHNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGGGNNNNNNNNGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH
HHNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGGGNNNNNNNNGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH.”
 
Me shrieking as my latexed legs almost give out. And then
 
NOTHING.
 
Debra withdraws her fingers, stopping the orgasm in its tracks. Me panting, desperate , so absolutely loving the intense orgasm. She moves into my line of sight, smiling. This little old lady. Just smiling as my distended labia and clitoris dripped, and dripped sexual discharge.
 
“See? See how kind I can be? I can be cruel too, but I don’t want to display that. You haven’t been here very long.... but rest assured I can be cruel. This is just about you learning. Basic learning skills for you.”
 
Her voice said it all. She didn’t need to emphasize it. Me panting, almost drooling. A dreamy, orgasmic smile on my face. A lascivious lick of the lips. Almost obscene. definitely pornographic such was the addictive properties of that multiple orgasm. I was learning. Yes I was learning. Learning very quickly.

“MMMMMMMMMMMMMMM OOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWW
MMMMMMMMM AAAAAAAAAAA RRRRRRRRRRRR GGGGGGGGGG
AAAAAAAAAAA RRRRRRRRRRRRR AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA”
 
They were my own cries I was hearing. Except they were like, detached from myself. And they weren’t really cries at all. If I had heard cries like this, before my ‘problem,’ I would have thought someone was having their soul ripped out... slowly. Over an amount of time. Time... what is that anyway?
 
Debra had worked on me slowly, and yet with precision. Demobilizing me. Immobilizing me. Dehumanizing me really. I had never really thought of the word dehumanizing before. Firstly in reception and with my wrists still clipped to the collar of my extended neck, tubes slid into my nostrils, up into my nose and then down into my stomach. A few inches of tube left dangling from my nose to which other tubes could be attached in order to feed me. Or apply medication, as or if required. Only one tube had been used at this time. A clear medibag hanging high on the wheeled stand feeding liquid into my stomach slowly on a drip. The other tube just hanging redundant at this time.
 
“This is a cocktail of medication. One of the results is that your periods will be stopped. The thought that a creature like ‘you’ could give birth is an horrendous one. No periods. Or no periods of fertility for you. At least for the time being.”
 
Debra’s words mortifying me. These things that were being done to me so mentally debilitating. I felt truly guilty. Guilty and ashamed of what I had become. I blinked and two tears, one from each eye, squeezed out and poured down my black latex cheeks.
 
An inflatable catheter had been slowly but precisely fed into my bladder through my pee hole. Once the catheter had touched the lining of the bottom of the bladder it had been inflated and closed off. This meant it wasn’t up to my body any longer, when I evacuated my urine. Quite ironic really that in the research department of the clinic, I could just relax and pee on the floor. That had horrified me. This mortified me even more and the continuous presence of the catheter gave a distinct sensation, a distinct feeling of the need to pee. The need to pee seeming to add to the intensity of the ‘thrumming’ that vibrated deep inside of me. My senses were being annihilated from all directions and to all extremes. And it was all my fault.
 
Something inflatable had been slipped with lubricated ease into my bottom. It wasn’t overly large, or thick. Just bulbous ended, and thick enough for my rose to cling to it. Chew on it. Suck on it as it was fed inside me. I had gasped, and cried out feeling my hole opened and stretched beyond its norm. Then cry out more with indignation than pain as Debra had encouraged me.
 
“Push out. Help me here. Go on push your bum hole out... that’s right.. there, easy isn’t it?”
 
So much indignation as I push my hole out, against Debra’s pushing of the smooth thing up inside me. Clenching my thighs hard and pushing my anal muscles back so the ring pops out backwards.
 
And then a gasp, as the thing was inflated with a hand bulb. Just enough to close off my back passage. Feeling it getting bigger inside me. Pressing against my inside walls. Then that being stopped off by the twisting of a valve. Debra talking to me, explaining. The sensation of me having been ‘changed’ down in my intimate regions so much, amplified, accentuated.
 
“This one is temporary. There will be work required sooner or later...”
 
My lips, blowing out, trying to adapt physically, and mentally to these additions. My top lip, just used as a rest for the nasal tubes. One of the nasal tubes hanging redundant. And throughout this, an increasing terrible feeling of despair, and hopelessness starting to creep over me in short, but intense increments. Flashbacks to my beautiful daughter, Stefani, fill my head but then fade as another “Thrumming” resonates through me, refocusing me. Altering my attention. Reminding me of a growing priority. Another soul-searching cry from the pit of my stomach.
 
This cry was fading as Debra attached a hobble chain between my ankles, severely restricting the steps I would be able to take.
 
I thought Debra was being kind to me. Letting one of my wrists loose from the collar. I guess in a way she was. But the purpose of the partial release, so that I could be brought into the secure unit proper, and wheel my own equipment stand with my free hand. The resulting walk so hard. So much working against me. The thrumms, the throbs. The searching for friction of my exposed swollen intimacies. A friction that no longer existed due to the hobble chain.
 
The inflatable inside my bottom, slowing my progress as it shifted inside me, altered angles slightly with each excruciating step. Each step so difficult in such pencil thin, extremely high-heeled boots. The pulling of the tubes inside me as I moved. So so hard was the short journey to the other side of those bars. Progress slow, humiliating. The noises from me less and less identifiable as those from a human being. The only comfort, the smooth caressing feel of the latex I was shrink-wrapped in.
 
_________________________________
 
The room I ended up in dripped with a despair so thick and putrid that I felt the hairs on the back of my neck, prickle and shift inside their latex encasement. I wheeled my equipment stand through the main part of the secure unit and through some massively thick lead lined doors into a back section. In this section, just what can only be described as a number of individual ‘cells.’ Cells, is the only word that adequately describes these rooms. Cell, simply because, it seemed that one was to be my new ‘home.’ Except it was a cell, or a home without comforts. Or even basic human rights. No bed. No toilet. Nothing. A bare stark black and thick atmosphere of inhuman dread.
 
There were no creature comforts because there didn’t need to be. There was no basic human rights here because it wasn’t a prison, in the truest sense of the word. If it was a prison I would have those rights. Here I knew I had no rights and was convinced that this was my own fault. All my own fault. The knowledge that this was all my fault feeding a guilt, and a recognition, an acceptance that I would need to suffer for it.
 
My arms had first been pulled behind me and cinched just above the elbows. Then tightened until the elbows themselves touched. I had gasped first. Then screamed with that initial pain. A sharp darting pain across the shoulders and down each arm.
 
“AAAAAAAAHHHHH FOR GODSSSSSS SAKES IS THIS NECESSARY?”
 
It had been a stupid question. I know deep down that I was guilty and in deep shame because of this problem of mine. Obviously an incredibly stupid question since Debra chose not to even acknowledge let alone answer the question.
 
My arms below the elbows cinches had been left to dangle awkwardly, loosely. That is until the tight latex sheath had been brought up over both arms. A V shaped sheath that brought my hands together, fingers knitted into a little ball. This sheath then strapped in placed around the upper arms and around my shoulders to prevent the whole thing slipping off. Quite simply, my arms and hands had been immobilized. Rendered useless and dangling as a single entity behind me. And their position, so cruel and painful, saw my latexed breasts thrust out... exposed teated-nipples angry, feeling like they were visibly throbbing out on front of me. Shoulders immediately aching. Shoulder blades all but touching behind me. The posture collar secured around and extending my neck, continuing to do so.
 
I had been secured to the floor, standing in the middle of the room. Just a bare concrete floor. My feet secured to it about twenty-four inches apart, via heavy-duty packaging straps around ankles and stiletto’d feet then pulled tight to floor rings until moving my feet was impossible. Above my knees, a spreader had been attached. Spreading my knees the same twenty-four inches as my feet. This in itself, and the bound tethered arms created an extended spinal curve, and a spread leg squat that together with the high heels, began, almost immediately to cause an intense discomfort. An ache first in the base of the spine.
 
The most true, absolute agony and discomfort was to follow though. A vertical hydraulic pole had been pulled down, from directly above me out of the blackness. The end of this pole was screwed into the nipple attached into the crown of the black latex hood, just in front of my erupting ponytail. This had the immediate effect of holding me rigid still in position. But more than that, as Debra adjusted the pole, it was lengthened, pushing me down. Forcing me into a semi-squat. My spine forced into an enhanced “S” shape, the downward force of the pole straight down, through the centre of the “S” and forcing an absolute grotesque stress on my spine and the backs of my taught thighs. The bends in my knees. My calves, trembling, quivering in the latex. And my feet, forced to arch severely in the heels and forced to support the downward pressure of the vertical pole coming from above.
 
“MMMMMMNNNGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHSSSSSSHHHHHHHHH.”
 
Debra seeming to know exactly and precisely how far to make me semi-squat, just by the pitch of distressed scream I let out.
 
“There.... perfect. That-s you just about installed. Your new home.”
 
She spoke with a ‘delight’ in her voice as I was descending into hell. But even through my hell, there were the “thrummings” emitting from my exposed intimacies that now found no friction. No additional encouragement to send those throbs to their tips. Just teasing, addictive thrummings. Throbs. My sexuality dripping. I could feel it. It wouldn’t drip for long though.
 
Another medical bag, this time strapped with latex straps to my upper thigh. The protruding tubes, transparent, fixed into another device, somehow leeched to my labias and clitoris but without providing additional stimulation. This device collected my leaking, oozing juices into the bag. I could hear those leaking gurgling and bubbling up the tubes and into the bag in between my cries of anguish. And my screams of pain and despair. My mind and body desperately trying to adjust to this new hell. The pain truly was hell, and yet all the way through that pain, my focus, always my true focus was on the thrumming throbs and the thought, the knowledge the hope, the prayer that Debra might treat me to another one of those fucking incredible orgasms. I needed one of those just to help me through this. Just to get me through it. Just to help me survive. Please God I would get more of Debra’s kindness.
 
I could hear a drip drip drip from somewhere. Between my sighs, cries and squeals of anxiety. Liquid medication fed into my bladder. but I couldn’t evacuate that. My bottom squeezing and sucking on its invasion. My full red lips, stretched into despair as Debra made her final checks before dimming down the already subdued lighting.
 
She didn’t say anything to me before she left. She just left. The door clanging shut. An almost ear-popping vacuum being created. Then silence. Except for my own noises. Those constant noises. inhuman noises.
 
_____________________________________________________
 
 
Words fail me. I cannot describe the amount of pain I was in. Or how utterly impossible it was to escape the total pit of despair I was sinking into. Despair caused by my continued isolation. Despair caused by the inescapable pain and discomfort of the inhuman position I had been secured into for what was an immeasurable amount of time. Despair, that even through all the nagging, intense pain and discomfort the “thrummings” the “throbbing” still penetrated. Still made me focus so much, still make me try with my mind alone, to coax them to the tips of my nipples and clitoris just to gain some sexual pleasure. It could only be with my mind I tried since I couldn’t ‘use’ any other part of my body. I needed an orgasm so badly. Always, always needing the orgasm. The memories of that intense sexual pleasure keeping me alive. Keeping me ticking.
 
Despair also, because of the fading memories of my life before my ‘problems’ had been identified. I tried to remember, I really did. What company did I work for? Where did I live? How old was I? Is it Autumn or Winter? Am I going mad? Insane? Worse? Actually I feared it was the ‘worse’.
 
Utter despair that my entire focus was on the thrummings, the throbbing and not on my daughter Stefani. Desperate despair that even memories of her were fading. And yet when they did turn up in flashback, they were lucid, almost like I could touch her face peering up at me out of a mist. It was then I suffered the most terrible, soul-destroying guilt and shame. I was beginning to know, to accept that it was ‘my’ fault I was here. No one else’s fault. Just mine. My fault. Everyone, Sabirah, Debra... were helping me. Helping me overcome this problem. This creeping hell that was slowly thrumming away at the base of my clitoris and nipples, breaking me down. Ever down.
 
 
NINE - Devastation
 
Sabirah narrates from here
 
“The seeds have been laid and obviously ‘rehabilitation’ is not an option. The laser treatment did its job. She has a very desperate need there now. That won’t go away. She believes truly it’s her problem and the guilt and shame is practically breaking her as it is. She is more than beginning to feel at ‘home’ in the smoothness and the warmth of the latex. All hardly emotions of a completely sane, well-balanced woman.”
 
Debra stops talking and both her and Sabirah exchange gratified smiles. Then Debra continues.
 
“We need her to believe, very soon, that rehab for her isn’t going to happen and that other options must be explored. Almost immediately she needs another deep, deep emotional shock to her system........How is progress with Stefani coming along?”
 
Both ladies sit back, cross nylon sheathed legs before Sabirah replies.
 
“Hmmmmm, Stefani and myself are getting along famously. I don’t foresee any problems with her whatsoever and, I think the time is right for Mum to see her offspring again. Just a little jolt for her. A blast from the past. Although frankly I suspect what she sees will all but tip her over the edge.”
 
Both ladies smile again quite casually as they discuss the utter destruction of an attractive, innocent mother. Debra cuts in,
 
“Welllll isn’t that just about the result we want? Not quite mad since we WANT her to KNOW and FEEL what she is suffering. And not quite sane, because, well..... her complete sanity won’t help her either way. Kind of sane enough to know how insane she has become.”
 
“Hmmmmmm yes and besides, she is the most gorgeous creature. It was fate that she would suffer in this way.”
 
As they talk, SO-401, previously known as Petra lets out a full cry. Her partly silhouetted partly spotlighted, bondaged form striking a lone, quivering figure in her semi-squat, latexed state. The transparent collection bag strapped to her upper thigh, almost full now of her own sexual discharges. That would need to be changed soon. Very soon.
 
“MNNNNNNNGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAHHHHHHGGGGGGHHHH”

Sexual Offender 401 narrates from here
 
I couldn’t help making the noises I made. I didn’t used to make them, before my problem had been discovered. Just so much discomfort, and pain. And so much focus on the thrumming. The throbbing. The noises I made were constant and came from the pit of my stomach. Or even deeper than that. I was just so grateful to Sabirah, and Debra, for helping me. I just knew they had my best interests at heart. Everything was for my own good. Even the removal of my own name. It was the right thing to do. I didn’t deserve an ordinary name. I wasn’t ‘ordinary.’ I knew that now.
 
I don’t know how long I was kept in that “black room.” Forever as far as I could tell. I know that whenever Debra came to see me, check on me, in person, I felt lifted inside. Even grateful. When eventually, very eventually both Sabirah and Debra came together, I felt very ‘special.’ Like I hadn’t been forgotten and was very much in both their thoughts. The sound of their high heels, coming into the room was loud.. and sent a shiver down my enhanced S-shaped spine.
 
“Is it in much pain.”
 
It was Sabirah asking Debra. I knew I was the ‘it.’ I just accepted that. I felt like an ‘it.’ The thrummings, the throb, the need and greed. And the pain, discomfort and creeping hell was down to my sexuality. My abnormal, sick sexuality.
 
“Intense and constant. It’s the pole screwed into the head nipple of its hood. Forces it down into the squat, and then the spine to bend. Absolutely murders the spine, the thighs, knees and calves in agony. But nothing deadens the throbs it feels. Actually, it’s just the focus on the throbs that gets it through the pain. It’s a case of being cruel to be kind. Basic training really... basic training.”
 
The words filtering in weren’t spoken to me. But I computed them. Understood them. Even agreed with them. Sabirah coming round to the front of me, looking up at my pained, stressed face.
 
“Can you hear me? Are you with me?”
 
I nod, blink even as those noises emanate from me.
 
“I can see you have been cooperating... and progressing. I told you if you did that you could see your offspring. Would you like that?”
 
I blink a tear, nod.....
 
“Yesssssssss pleassssssssseeeee.”
 
Sabirah’s tone not like she knows me now. Or knew me. Rather that I am just a part of her working day. I am on her ‘rounds’ But also something deeper than that. Darker, more sinister that I can’t finger. Can’t finger because of these thrummings. A growling purrrrrr escapes my throat.
 
“Well I have arranged that. But, also something extra for you. I think we can see ourselves clear to letting you have an orgasm or two... would you like that?”
 
Almost whinnying with joy.... the chance to have both of thethings I dearly want to have most in the world. I groan from the deep deep down.
 
“Yesssssssssss pleassssssssssssse.”
 
Sabirah’s voice again, neutral cold.
 
“What is it to be first.... the orgasms, or seeing your offspring, hmmmmm which is it to be?”
 
My desperation for an orgasm was so great. All that time with just the thrumming, never reaching the tips of my nipples or clitoris. I needed it so badly soooo badly. And the groan and gasp rising from deep and then gurgling in my throat as I feel fingers lightly pinch my exposed clitoris and tug. Rub and tug. Rubs and tug.
 
RUB AND TUG.
 
“ORGASMMMMMMMMM PLEASSSSSE ORGASMMMMMMMMM PLEASSSSSSE.”
 
At the same time, other fingers, lightly pinching both nipples, rubbing the sides, and tugging them stretching them teasing the throbs, and the thrummings towards the very tips. The very important tips. Sabirah and Debra working on me together.
 
“Well now that’s goooooooood. Just focus now on the orgasm.... just let it all go, ok?”
 
Even before Sabirah’s words are out, due to the duel working of hers and Debra’s fingers I am exploding in an all-in-one multiple orgasm that is fed from both my nipples and clitoris bases into the very tip of the clitoris. That, then erupting into an intense earth shattering orgasm that has surpassed all others. I can feel myself squirting juices into the tube that is fed into the bag strapped to my thigh. It’s more like a gush as orgasm after orgasm all mould into one. My tethered, latexed body can only quiver. It can’t move. Most of the result can only erupt and explode from my mouth in a gurgling, drooling full-cry as wave after wave of undiluted sexual intensity rides through me.
 
“MMMMNNNGGHHHHHHHBBBBHHHHHHHHGGGGGGGG
MMMMNNNGGHHHHHHHBBBBHHHHHHHHGGGGGGGG
MMMMNNNGGHHHHHHHBBBBHHHHHHHHGGGGGGGG
MMMMNNNGGHHHHHHHBBBBHHHHHHHHGGGGGGGG
MMMMNNNGGHHHHHHHBBBBHHHHHHHHGGGGGGGG
MMMMNNNGGHHHHHHHBBBBHHHHHHHHGGGGGGGG
MMMMNNNGGHHHHHHHBBBBHHHHHHHHGGGGGGGG.”
 
“That’s right let it all out... let it all out..... mmmmmm that’s so good isn’t it soooooo good? Mmmmm yes more important than anything... feeeeeels so so good doesn’t it.”
 
“YESSSS YESSSS THANK YOUUUU SOOOOO MUCH YESSSSSSSSSS.”
 
Debra’s voice massaging my mind. My own voice seeping in desperation, greed and hunger. Time after time I am taken to the limit. There and there again and there again as the two ladies tug and pull and tap and rub the tips of my teats and clitoris.
 
Then they bring me down but only eventually. Very slowly, the orgasms becoming less and less intense. Moving their fingers to the outer edges of the tips, and then to the sides until they are once again only feeding the thrummings and the throbs. Slowly, rubbing and tugging and rubbing. Orgasms slowly fading back. Squirts of juices into the tube becoming less and less. Returning to the steady drip drip. A sweat film making the latex slide, smoothly over me. Warming me. Comforting me.
 
With that come-down, the guilt. The pure undiluted guilt. And the shame. I chose the orgasms before my own daughter! What ‘mother’ would do that? Debra and Sabirah were right about me. Right to get me sectioned. Right to have Stefani placed in care. That guilt like a tight wrap around my mind. I was just so grateful for the warm, smooth caress of the latex. I could see the logic of the latex now. It all made sense. Or, at least it felt like it made some kind of sense in my diminishing mind. The only comfort as despair weighed down heavily. And then weighed down some more.
 
_______________________________________
 
That same guilt and shame lingered. Even as the downward pole was loosened and risen allowing me to come slowly out of my enforced squat, the guilt and shame lingered, chewed at me. A grunting groaning sigh of relief as my spine and legs are partly relieved.
 
“AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH GODDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD.”
 
My sigh of relief deep, from the belly. My body so aching, so filled with stress and distress. Sabirah had gone, to prepare for me seeing Stefani. Debra unlocked my feet from the floor. removed the spreader between my knees relieving me a little more. I was able to gently lift one stiletto boot, replace then lift the other. All the time the skintight latex creaking in the blackened, dim silence. It seemed like so long ago since I did that. Lifted my feet. Such relief. Grateful relief.
 
But she left my arms secured behind me. Tethered at the elbows, so that the elbows touched inside the tight latex shoulder-length mitten. This still forced me to bend slightly at the waist. My breasts heavy in the latex shrink wrapping. The teats exposed, thick, angry looking. But me being able to stand a little more upright, My eyes narrowed just divulging a permanent distress as well as a deep-seated hunger from those thrummings. Still those thrummings, Those throbs. Even through them the guilt and shame pouring through.
 
I knew I couldn’t talk to Stefani. Or touch her. Or even be in the same room as her. God forbid she see her mother in the state I was in. But just seeing her. Remembering her would be enough for me.
 
The tortuous walk to another part of the secure unit proved an ordeal. Hobbled steps in such feet-arching boots. Arms and shoulders still forced back, enforced a somewhat crouched, stunted walk. Slow and cumbersome through corridors. Every so often a door opened and someone would peer out, looking for the source of the short stiletto’d steps. They would see me - mostly administration staff within the ‘inner sanctum,’ Sabirah’s inner-sanctum - and they would stop, to watch me pass them. Looking me up and down. Some with pity. Some with disgust. Some with a knowing, almost mocking smile. The freak of nature. The former volunteer. The former high-powered PA in the city. Now the sectioned, detainee known as “SO-401.”
 
Eventually reaching the door through which we would go. Inside a viewing room. One wall a full one way mirror. I would be able to see into the adjoining room, but anyone in there would not be ale to see into the room I was in .At first there were electronic blinds covering the see-through mirror, so nothing could be seen either way. I hobbled in. Groaning, and crying as ever. My usually full glossy lips, dry, cracked with big bits of gloss missing, chipped away. Guided slowly, ever patiently by Debra towards the centre of the room, facing the mirror. Placed carefully. My long latex legs able to splay only as much as the hobble chain would allow. Discomfort and pain now part of my life. Did I ever know anything else?
__________________________________
 
When the electronic blinds into the other room opened, it was ‘instant’ as though someone had turned on a bright light in there. I tried to focus, and did wanting to see my beautiful daughter so much. She was my only real link to the past now. Everything else had faded. Almost gone.
 
I took in the view of the other room and for what seemed like an age there wasn’t a sound. But as the view registered I was aware of a noise. One that a distressed animal would make. It was only after this noise had been happening for some time that I realized the noise was coming from me. Sabirah was in there. And so was Stefani. Except it wasn’t the Stefani I remembered. What numbed me so much was the bizarre, mock-up of my old school uniform she was wearing. It was identical, even down to the tie colors. Except the whole uniform was made out of skin-tight ultra latex and hugged the form of my sixteen-year-old daughter, like my own latex hugged me. A blast from my deeper past and Stefani a mirror image of my younger self.
 
“NNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.......”
 
Just the one solitary word that kept pouring out of my mouth. My eyes wide fixed staring through the one-way mirror into the other room. The blouse was transparent latex and her still developing (current 36 c-cup) breasts could be clearly seen. Right down to her nipples that pressed and distorted against the latex. The tie. Even the tie I could see was the sheen and gloss of latex. The skirt, the same color green as my old school uniform, but it was micro short barely covering Stefani’s bottom. Her legs were glossy transparent latex. Even the knee socks were latex. Black latex.
 
“NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO...........”
 
I could feel my own heartbeat. My own pulse. And through everything the thrumming and the throbbing ever present as the juices from my genitalia were sucked into the bag still attached to my upper thigh.
 
It had often been said that Stefani was a younger version of me. Just a little shorter at five feet eight inches. But she still had some growing to do. A final spurt.
 
In that room her heavy makeup made her look even more so like me. And her slightly darker red hair pulled up into its own ponytail. She didn’t have a hood. Her face and head were totally uncovered, but the sparkle was gone from her eyes. Even though her eyes were still huge, saucer like, the sparkle wasn’t there. The high-heels she had on definitely weren’t from my school uniform, I would never have got away with heels like that. Patent court shoes. Shiny and with spiked stiletto heels at least six inches in height.
 
“NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO...........”
 
Stefani was sitting on a chair, her long gangly legs crossed, facing me through the mirror. She didn’t know that. Sabirah was sitting next to her on another chair, very close. She was talking to her. Softly. Very softly. At the same time she was stroking her cheek. Delicate strokes with the back of her index finger.
 
“You remember, I told you... your mother has gone away and won’t be back for some time?”
 
Stefani not really answering. Just nodding her head. Her tongue from time to time slipping from her mouth and across her thickly reddened lips.
 
“Well.... the truth is that she is sick. A very sick woman and won’t be back for some time and so you have to stay with me. You do understand don’t you?”
 
Again the almost complete vacant nod of the head.
 
“Good girl.....Obviously we have discovered that you could possibly be ill like your mother and so we need to deal with that....”
 
“NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.............”
 
My own voice. My own noises of despair and yet Stefani sitting so calm. Almost an arrogant reflection of my younger years. Sabirah drops her stroking finger down to Stefani’s latexed thigh and prompts her.
 
“Uncross and open sweetie. Open wide, let Aunty Sabirah see...”
 
Stefani uncrosses her legs, and opens wide. My noises of torment and distress magnify as clearly, her sex had been relieved of any hair. It’s smooth, and glistening through a tight slit in the latex hose. But more than that, her labia are swollen, distended like mine. So is her clitoris. Wet, swollen, dripping to the floor of the room. My world finally falls apart in its entirety. My eyes fixed.
 
“You know you have the same problem as your mum. At least the beginnings of the same problem. It’s actually her fault that you are this way. But it’s ok. She’s under lock and key now and we can deal with this.”
 
More vacant nodding then as Sabirah runs her fingers to Stefani’s labia and begins to stroke, and pull gently. The tiny little gasps from Stefani. The hunger and greed in her eyes. The guilt raging through me. Destroying me molecule by molecule. My heels shifting. The hobble chain just chinking slightly. My latex now the only source of comfort. Hugging me. Keeping me safe inside. Stefani then screaming her own orgasm as Sabirah taps the very tip of her clitoris.
 
TAP TAP TAP
 
Stefani cumming and cumming in front of me. Nothing I could do. Out of my control, as my own thrummings and throbs resonate through me.
 
“MUMMMMMMMSSSSSSSSSSS FAULT.. ALLLLLL HER FAULTTTTTTT.”
 
Stefani spitting, drooling between waves of her orgasm and then her eyes flickering blinking increasingly slowly as she is brought back down by Sabirah. Just rubs and pulls of the thickly engorged clitoris at its shaft. Sabirah just peeling up the skirt slightly, to her very upper thigh and looking at me through the mirror because she knows I am there. Then looking up at a camera. Debra draws my attention to a small monitor under the mirror glass and I see a close up of her thigh. A tattoo. Just simple in thick black ink.
 
“SO-402”
 
And again my world sinks deeper. The electronic blind snaps shut. Instantly. I no longer see Stefani. This new knowledge this new hell sinking into my already tortured mind as I am led back to the black room. Terrible, terrible squatting, debilitating bondage re-applied. Except the vertical pole, screwed into my latex hood, this time adjusted a little more. My squat lower. More intense. The pain and discomfort more intense. The throbs and the thrumming more intense. And the knowledge that somewhere in the building, Stefani was beginning to suffer too.

____________________________________

Sabirah’s voice dripped into me. Even through all I was suffering, every word was lucid. Every word clear.
 
“I think rehabilitation for you, is out of the question, don’t you?”
 
I answer with my eyes. Nodding eyes. Since I can’t move any other part of me.
 
“So we will need to discuss other ‘options’, won’t we?”
 
Again the nod of my eyes. The receding noise of Sabirah’s high heels and the sealing of the door as it closes. Left with my thoughts. At least those, at this moment, I was capable of having.
 
THRUMMMMMMMM
THROBBBBBBBB
THRUMMMMMMMMM
THROBBBBBBBBBBB
 
And my noises..... those noises. An addiction growing.

 A Fate Worse Than Death - Chapter 2

 Before my first reanimation I managed to kill two hundred and twenty-three Red staters, all but fourteen were male. In a sense I'd let them catch me and then after they had their fun, I had mine. This approach, although quite successful, caused significant wear and tear on certain portions of my anatomy, requiring me to hide so I could reconstitute the damaged parts. Those good old boys certainly had a fixation with my 39DD breasts that defied gravity, not to mention my bubble butt that appeared to be mounted on ball bearings. However my utter and absolute best feature, the ultimate honey trap, was my vagina, or as they so crudely described it, my cunt, twat, snatch, pussy, slit, slot, clam, fuckbox, ......... you get the picture.

Read More
> If there was anything magical about me, it was that my vagina could conform to the penis that was captured within it. This was probably the most brilliant idea my creators came up with during the design of the Mariah class zombie. Now I'm not bragging, but I don't know of any women who could take on gangs of sex crazed males numbering upwards of fifty for periods extending to three days and still be ready to go as if number three hundred and forty-one was the first one inside.

 Unfortunately for those rape gangs it was play for pay and my bill was usually fatal. Once it was my turn to play, I had a high old time snapping necks, tearing out throats and generally sending the survivors screaming into the woods to spread the word about this horrible monster with the magic pussy that turned into a killing machine. I have never understood that part of my program that forced me to allow survivors, but I have been told that this caused significant morale problems for the Red state folk to hear first hand just what we zombies were capable of doing to them.

 To this day it puzzles me about the attraction my breasts have for these people. The reason I refer to them as squeezies is due to the fact that my sex or is it rape partners seem to have a fascination for squeezing or fondling them while we are engaged in fucking. Of course my external genitals take plenty of rough handling as well, but it's merely part of the hunting process, and of little or no consequence to me.

 Now to some little known facts about zombies and how they reconstitute themselves. The head is the key to reconstitution; separate it from the main protoplasm body by a distance greater than one hundred and ten meters (no one seems to know why this particular distance is vital), and there can be no reconstitution and subsequent reanimation of the body, no matter what the condition. Here's the hard part to believe, protoplasm that has once been animated cannot be destroyed. This is the other key to how we can reconstitute, no matter what as happened previously to the protoplasm. This may sound like heresy to the Red state believers, but you might as well say that the protoplasm animated in the Lightning Chamber is eternal. How do those apples taste?

 Unlike humans, what we start with is all we'll ever have. In combat it is inevitable that small amounts of protoplasm are lost from the body through one reason or another. Usually they are too small to recover due to the nature of our assignment which has us constantly moving and seeking out the enemy. Where the protoplasm goes is moot as far as a combat zombie is concerned. However when we reconstitute, our bodies are made whole, it's just that they are minimally smaller. For this reason it will take something well out of the ordinary for a zombie to leave a limb behind. It does however happen. I once met a Mariah class zombie who was less than 1.2 meters in height due to some horrendous damage in combat. Even at that reduced size she was quite effective, especially in ambush and reconnaissance situations, not to mention those Red staters into pedophilia.

 Up until recently I'm not sure that the Red state folks had figured this one out completely. I had heard through the network that on rare occasins a zombie had fallen into Red state hands. More about our zombie communication system at a later date once I'm free of all these little issues that always seem to demand my full attention. Some of the more sadistic Red state types just liked to mutilate a captured zombie to the point that there was little if anything left to reconstitute or reanimate, and then keep the head for a trophy, thus unknowingly leaving the protoplasm in a permanent neutralized condition. Those unfortunates and the other few combat zombies that managed to get sucked down into quicksand bogs, of which there were many in this part of the country, made up the total casualties to date.

 The first time I got into serious trouble was almost the last, and considering what I'm facing for the rest of my unnatural life, perhaps that might have worked out just fine for me. I was making my way through the woods after having sent a group of Red state folks to the hereafter of their choice, when I encountered a local deadfall that put me out of commission long enough for this band of inbreeds to take control of my body. I distinctly remember tripping the wire, but I looked the wrong way and was struck head-on by this massive log that had come swinging out of the trees and knocked me cold. A zombie can take all sorts of hits without accruing too much damage, but the end of a two hundred kilo log moving at perhaps thirty kilometers per hour is another story altogether.

 By the time what passes for my brain unscrambled itself, I found myself being carried deeper into the woods. These good old boys sure knew something about knots, so I just took it easy and let them do all the work. I sincerely expected to find myself pulling a train of inbreeds for many long days before someone made a slip and I killed them all. Was I in for a surprise! This gang consisted of eight decidedly scruffy individuals who said little and proved to be rather strong. I was hanging from a fair sized tree limb and I'm not exactly a feather when it comes to weight. Every hour or so, two more of these characters would take up the burden of transporting me toward their encampment. After three changes of carriers we arrived at a clearing surrounded by huge trees. I could hear the sound of water running nearby, and filed this away for future reference once I killed them and made my escape.

 The first thing I discovered was these swamp people knew a hell of a lot more about zombies than anyone else I had previously encountered. On the other hand those other folks were either fucking me or dying, so I never did get a good feeling for what they did or did not know about my kind. Well one thing these folk knew was a method of putting me out of order temporarilly. When I came around I discovered that in my absence they had taken me off the tree limb and refastened me to a large log similar to the one that did me in originally. I also realized that there was a substantial dent in my head such as might have been formed by being struck with a stone axe  very much like the one that was on the ground beside me. Since it was partly covered with some of my tresses, I assumed that it had been the item that put me away for a time.

 The way I was fastened to the log also gave me pause. There was some kind of a metal collar around my neck that was attached to the log by what seemed to be steel spikes, the very same kind that were holding my arms outstretched across the log. I could see that pairs had been driven through what passes for bones in my upper arms, elbows, forearms and wrists. A pattern of three spikes had also been driven through the palms of my hands. In this position it was very difficult for me to get any leverage, especially since my wide spread legs were teethered to the ground in like fashion. These folks knew their anatomy, I had to give them that. What troubled me more than the way I was restrained was the fact that it made it very difficult for them to get at my vagina, which kind of took the wind out of my sails. What happened to my animal magnetism and good looks on the way to the camp?

 It didn't take long for me to get an answer to this question. I heard a commotion going on at the edge of the camp site. At first it looked as if two of the inbreeds had gotten into a fight over something.They were both half naked and rolling around in the dirt. What was so strange about this was no one else paid them the slightest attention. Then it became apparent that they were weren't fighting, they were fucking....each other! Case closed, as far as my ability to seduce this gang of alien beings was concerned. If all the Red staters had been like this little band, we zombies would have become an endangered species by now. Immediately it became apparent that they had taken me to their camp not for sex, but something more basic, food! I was the catch of the day, and from the looks of things, they planned starting on me just as soon as the big kettle of water came to a boil.

 One of the band approached me with a weird almost childish look on his deformed face. I just sensed what he was up to and unfortunately he didn't disappoint me. Out came this big pig sticker of a knife and the next thing I knew he was carving away at my squeezies, cutting thin slices of protoplasm from my teethered body. The fact that I made no outcry or effort to escape that very sharp inplement he was using kind of spooked him. He stopped what he was doing and hollered a few unintelligible words to his brethren. Soon I was surrounded by the entire gang who started pointing and jabbering among themselves concerning what was not happening where part of my breasts used to be. Not only do we not feel pain, we do not bleed, which can be very helpful in hand-to-hand combat where you don't want to be distracted by a fountain of blood spurting from where your arm used to be.

 One thing we can do, but it is not known to the average Red state folk, is speak. I have a fairly decent vocabulary and thanks to another little addition to my body, I am also capable of emitting some of the scariest shrieks, moans, howls, screams and banshee wails that anyone has ever heard. When properly used, it can be a show stopper. You can imagine the type of reaction you get from an opponent  who has just cut off maybe a hand or an ear and you let out with one of these sonic blasts. It sort of stops them in their tracks for a moment, just long enough for me to dispatch them to whatever lies beyond this life. I was already preparing for that moment when some noise would give me the edge I needed to get rid of these weird folk and go on my merry way, spreading fear and terror into the hearts and minds of my enemy. For the moment however, I remained silent and let them have their fun, such as it was.

 Another of the inbreeds decided to check me out a bit further, and urged on by the peculiar grunts and whistles that passed for language from his peers, he proceeded to pull out an even bigger pig sticker. Without even asking, he rammed it into my vagina with one swift motion and then opened me up from vulva to my solar plexus, quite an impressive strength move on his part. I was tempted to reward him with one of my sonic blasts, but refrained. Still the foolish grin that was plastered all over his face indicated that he and I were bonding quite nicely. At this point he didn't know how to react to a woman who did not bleed or make any sound when cut. Undaunted he made some grunts and whistles of his own and a couple of the band took off into the woods, leaving me to heal myself as inobtrusively as possible under the circumstances.

 The one carving off portions of my squeezies resumed his activity, making small whistles and even an occasional sneeze as he worked away on my rapidly depleted breasts. By the time the other two returned with armloads of leaves from the local trees and bushes, the gash the other one had opened up was already starting to close, which caused more grunts, whistles and sneezes, plus plenty of fingerpointing. I'm opened once again,and none too gently. The gang starts stuffing me with leaves as well as the slices of breast "meat"  they've carved from my squeezies. As near as I can figure, this has something to do with their plan for cooking and eating me. I'm not at all familiar with this process, but there is enough in my memory background to make it appear that this is what they are planning for me. I have no choice but to bide my time and wait for some kind of an opening that will allow me to dispatch this bunch and be about my business.

 The head inbreed didn't make things easy for me and I began to understand that he was a moron leading a pack of imbeciles. Without any warning he hacked off my right hand, leaving it nailed to the log. Then he did the same to my remaining hand. As soon as he hacked off one of my feet, I got the picture. His plan was to incapacitate me to the point that I coud be handled for cooking. Not a bad plan for a moron, but it has one little flaw.I'm almost as dangerous with stumps since I am a dedicated killing machine with tremendous strength and speed, despite some lack of agility due to the temporary loss of my limbs.

 He made things a little more difficult on his next pass, which resulted in me losing more of my arms and legs, up past the elbows and knees as near as I could tell. Now I began to worry about this little game that he was playing. If it went any further, matters would have taken a decided turn for the worse. I might still be able to take half of them out with just my jaws and teeth, not to mention a few well placed head butts, but mobility would have become a serious handicap and likely prevent me from killing all of them.

 With the second round of amputations, the moron made a fatal mistake and I immediately capitalized on it. There was only one set of spikes holding what was left of my arms and legs to the log and the earth. The moron should have cut below the spikes, not above them! However that was the kind of error that a moron will make, it's no crime. However in his case it made life very easy for me and most difficult for him and his little band. I flexed and popped the remaining spikes from the log. My follow through caught the moron's throat between my stumps, instantly breaking his neck. I rolled and got up on my leg stumps and took out a pair of bug-eyed inbreeds, tearing open one's throat and fracturing the other's skull with a head butt. I'd finish him off at my leisure after taking out the remaining five who had no clue as to how to handle me.

 I derived no enjoyment from killing this group, it was just something that I was trained to do and so I did it. Then I rested in this isolated glade and waited for my body to reconstitute and reanimate itself totally, minus perhaps a few millimeters or so off my height. Once that was accomplished, I began to follow the stream that I'd noticed when the now dead band of inbreeds had brought me to this place. Sooner or later the stream would lead to more Red state people who would succumb to my wiles and lethality.

oothed his silk tie as he plopped into a chair.

 

            “Rob-Meister.”

 

Jack Anderson bobbed his square, chiseled jaw in return and toyed with the gold fountain pen clutched in his manicured hand, clicking it open-closed-open-closed.

 

“Running late again, Buddy? Shit like that goes on your permanent record. You don’t want anything to screw up the big promotion. Know what I mean?”

 

            “Fuck you.” Rob grinned. “Buddy.”

 

Rob scooted the chair closer until his soft belly pressed firmly into the edge of the conference table, and pretended to sort through the thick ream of paperwork that was laid out in front of him. He absently acknowledged a few guarded hellos from the other well-dressed attorneys already seated around the gleaming, polished walnut table. The gentle buzz of excited conversation began again after Rob settled in.

 

Not a typical meeting this morning. Today held a different agenda. Rob had been waiting for this day for months.

 

No, longer than that.

 

Years.

 

Rob glanced at the vacant chair at the front of the room and checked the time on his diamond Rolex. “Where’s the old man? I didn’t notice him out front…”

 

            “Dunno.” Jack shrugged. “Waiting till you got here to make his grand entrance.”

 

            Rob grinned. He couldn’t help it. “Right.”

 

            “Good morning everyone.”

 

            The sudden hush of activity was broken only by the whoosh from the buildings air-conditioning. Rob checked his tie again, and along with everyone else in the room, sat up straighter as Vanden Smith himself (the Vanden Smith – senior and founding partner of the corporate law firm of Smith, Marshall, Adams and Rodgers – that Vanden Smith) breezed into the conference room. Rob felt an aura of great respect bordering on awe fill the room.

 

Smith paused at the door and whispered to someone outside the office before entering the room, and then he crossed to the head of the table and smiled down at his senior staff like a proud father on his child’s graduation day. Tiny laugh lines creased his face, tanned an even brown from weeks spent sailing in the Caribbean every summer, his iron-grey hair cut short, his dark blue silk suit immaculately tailored to fit his tall, trim frame. A large diamond pinky ring flashed as he adjusted the knot on his tie.

 

He cleared his throat, and at that moment, Rob swore he could have heard a pin drop.

 

            “Well. It’s been quite a while since I’ve had the privilege of being in your fine company, hasn’t it?”

 

            A low murmur of agreement rose from around the table.

 

“First, I want to take this opportunity to personally thank each and every one of you, for all the hard work you put in each and every day.”

 

            Bright smiles from everyone.

 

            “As you all know,” Smith went on, “since David Rodgers unexpectedly retired at the beginning of the year, several names have been bandied about as to who might be on the fast track for a significant promotion. One or two of those names, I might add, come from this very office.”

 

            Smith nodded in Rob’s direction. Rob flushed with pride, and for a brief moment, he felt every eye in the room on him.

 

            “Our core company values have never been better represented. We expect nothing less than tireless, selfless hard work from our attorneys. And in return…well.” He paused theatrically and grinned. “Well. Today I am very proud to both acknowledge and reward that very same relentless devotion to this firm from one very impressive individual.”

 

He paused for effect before continuing.

 

“A person who I believe exemplifies every quality this company stands for and stands as a role model for everyone in this room.”

 

            Rob beamed and nodded, letting Smith’s rich, deep voice fade quietly into the background and wash over him. This was his moment, the one he’d committed his entire adult life for. He leaned back slightly in his chair, the leather crackling under his weight. He was confident; waiting impatiently for Smith to finish up with his little speech while the butterflies bounced wildly around in his gut.

 

            Finally, he thought.

 

Finally.

 

Finally, he was going to hear the magic words that would vindicate the last twenty-five years of his life, his utter dedication, his resolve to succeed.

 

Smith’s dazzling smile grew even larger, exposing his perfectly even, white teeth. The teeth of a movie star. “And so, without any further formalities, I’d like to introduce you to our new senior partner…      

 

This was it! Rob felt the flush creep up his neck to his cheeks, burning the tips of his ears. This was the moment he’d been working towards since he was just a boy, a child, when his asshole old man first called him a fat, stupid loser.

 

Smith stood back, extending his arm, and Rob began to stand…

 

“Yvonne Craig!”

 

***

 

            “Wha…”

 

            Rob was halfway out of his seat before he realized what had happened.

 

            “No…”

 

            Mistaken as he was, everyone else took his cue. The entire room stood and cheered as Yvonne Craig bounced through the door, giving a victory salute with her hands clasped together, waving her arms around like a major league slugger after hitting a grand-slam and sending the ball flying over the ballpark fence. She was looking sharp and sexy in a coal black suit, her heavy breasts bouncing in her crème colored silk blouse.

 

More cheers and a few cat-calls as she hugged Vanden Smith and left an imprint of her lips on his cheek from an impulsive kiss. Next to him, Rob heard Jack laughing as everyone else in the room applauded loudly.

 

Rob fell back into his chair, confused and defeated. The room spun around him, and suddenly he couldn’t breathe. Sweat beaded his forehead and trickled down his back as he loosened his tie, unbuttoned his starched shirt; he felt suddenly claustrophobic, needing air, space.

 

He stared at the happy, smiling faces of the people he considered his colleagues, faces that suddenly seemed to mock him.

 

How the hell could this happen…?

 

He closed his eyes and tried to tune out, tried to escape to his quiet place, but he couldn’t concentrate; the sound of Jack’s harsh laughter rang in his ears. Rob squeezed his eyes even tighter and covered his ears with the palms of his hands, chanting under his breath until the others were seated again, listening intently as Vanden Smith continued to praise Yvonne Craig.

 

Smith droned on and on, until his deep voice blurred with the echoes of Jack’s laughter in Rob’s mind, slowly changing, until it was the voice of his father, taunting Rob’s latest failure from beyond the grave.

 

You stupid, worthless, good-for-nothing idiot…

 

***

 

…and I expect everyone to join us at MacTarahan’s tonight at six sharp and celebrate! I’ve been informed that Old Mac will have an open bar and grill ready for us, so don’t be late!”

 

“Hear, hear!”

 

“Al-right!”

 

Rob groaned inwardly and watched everyone file out, heading back to work and grinning with visions of drunken revelry. He gathered his things and stood slowly. When he reached the head of the table, Vanden Smith cleared his throat.

 

“Robert, I’d like you to stay for a moment.”

 

He indicated a chair for Rob, who blinked and sat, confused again.

 

“Now, then,” Smith sat for the first time during the meeting. “Robert.”

 

He punched a password into the computer built into the edge of the table and eased back into the plush leather of his chair. He steepled his fingertips under his chin, watching Rob with narrowed eyes. Rob squirmed uncomfortably.

 

“Yes, sir?”

 

Smith took a deep breath, exhaled. Tapped the computer screen. “Robert, when we hired you, we made you aware of the priorities of this firm. Yes?”

 

Rob blinked, not sure how to answer. “Um, yes. Yes, of course.”

 

“Good. You see, we’ve had Yvonne evaluate each of our attorneys’ performance over the last quarter.” Smith smiled, his teeth gleaming. “We’ll spend the next few days speaking with everyone.”

 

“Oh…I see…”

 

Smith punched up a file. “Looking at your caseload, we’ve noticed some issues.”

 

“Issues?”

 

“Mm. The LeineCorp case immediately comes to mind.” Smith raised an inquisitive eyebrow, one of his patented court gestures. “This was a settlement?”

 

“Uh, well, yes. They decided to settle after…”

 

“I’ve read the case files.” Smith waved his hand, turned to Yvonne. “How many billable hours did we lose by settling this out?”

 

“Hundreds, at least. Probably thousands.”

 

Smith settled his gaze back on Rob.

 

“Hundreds. Robert, do you realize how much money that translates to? Even at a low estimate?”

 

Wet stains appeared under Rob’s armpits and his mouth went dry. He shook his head, no. Smith just kept smiling, but the smile never quite reached his eyes. Rob felt like he was pinned to his seat, like a butterfly on display.

 

Smith tapped the table with a fingertip. “Yvonne?”

 

“Potentially?”

 

“That’s fine for our purposes.”

 

“Millions.”

 

Rob could almost literally see the walls closing in.

 

“Millions, Robert. Think on that for a moment. Mil-lions of dollars, lost. Because you allowed the idiots running LeineCorp to settle out of court.”

 

The door to the room opened, closed. A cool, air-conditioned breeze stirred the room, and a pair of heavy foot-falls thunked across the carpet and settled to a stop just behind Rob’s back. He resisted the urge to turn around. Smith speared him with another look, and continued with barely a pause.

 

“Robert? How many other clients have you allowed to settle this quarter?”

 

“Well, I…”

 

“Four.”

 

“Four, sir? I don’t…”

 

“Four. Four multi-million dollar cases.” There went the eyebrow again. “How about for the last year?”

 

Rob wanted to run, to hide. “I don’t…”

 

“Robert, Robert, Robert.” Smith swiveled his chair back and forth. “Not the kind of track record I look for in my attorneys.”

 

Rob felt like he was drowning. He glanced at Yvonne, hoping for a friendly face, some encouragement, but she just stared back at him, her beautiful tanned face cold and impassive.

 

Smith nodded at someone over Rob’s shoulder and a massive shadow appeared on the table in front of him. A large, scarred hand clamped tightly around Rob’s bicep, pulling him clear out of the chair like he weighed nothing more than a child.

 

“I’m sorry to say it, but we’re letting you go.”

 

“What? No…I…you can’t!” Rob stammered, dumbstruck. “I…my things, in my office…I…”

 

“Your personal effects are already packed and waiting by your car.” Smith waved his hand, dismissing him. “I believe we’re finished here. Yvonne?”

 

She shook her head. “That’s all.”

 

“Good. Well, then. Good luck to you, Robert. Clarence will show you out.”

Wednesday,

 

At five-to six, a very drunk Rob sat in his Lexus outside MacTarahan’s restaurant with the stereo on loud and an open, half-empty bottle of Jack Daniels resting on the seat next to him. He was staring at the plain white envelope in his hands, turning it over and over.

 

Shit.

Shit, shit, shit.

 

I can’t believe it…

 

His last paycheck from Smith, Marshall, Adams and Rodgers.

 

They fired me.

 

Fired.

 

Me.

 

Why? Why? Why?

The same thoughts had been going round and round in his head for most of the afternoon, interspersed with the unshakable need to get rip-roaring drunk.

 

Rob couldn’t remember the last time he got drunk. Not like this.

 

            A sleek new black BMW pulled to the curb several spaces in front of him. The doors opened, and Vanden Smith stepped out and walked around to the passenger door. A moment later, the car alarm beeped and Smith escorted a smiling Yvonne Craig across the street.

 

Smith dropped the keys into her outstretched hand, and then, arm-in-arm, they disappeared into the restaurant.

 

            “Holy shit. Lookit that.” Rob whispered, open-mouthed. Suddenly, he knew. He understood everything. “That fucking cunt-hole got me fired.”

 

            Half a second later, tires screeched and horns blared as Rob ran across the street after them, bottle of whiskey in hand.

 

***

 

            Jack caught Rob as he shoved through the crowd in the restaurant lobby, making for the banquet room. He grabbed Rob by the lapels of his rumpled suit jacket and hauled him to a stop. Rob struggled enough that Jack had to shake him to get his attention.

 

            “Robster! Hold up man! Where do you think you’re going?”

 

            “Goddammit Jack, lemme go! I’m gonna fucking kill that skinny old sonofabitch…!”

 

            Customers standing, waiting in the lobby were staring. The Maitre de raised his eyebrow and reached for a phone. Jack shook Rob, making his head pound.

 

            “The hell you are.” He shook Rob again, glancing at the sloshing bottle clutched in Rob’s sweating hand. “Look at you, you dipshit. You’re so drunk you can barely stand up.”

 

            “Fuck you.”

 

            “Now that’s the Robster I know.” Jack grinned and guided him gently back to the door, nodding casually at a hostess. “Sorry everybody.” Jack tried a goofy grin, hoping he could diffuse the situation. “Just a little ruckus between us lawyers. You know how crazy we get at parties.” He dropped his voice and whispered in Rob’s ear. “C’mon man. You don’t want to do this. Don’t cause a fucking scene here. Go home and sleep it off.”

 

            Rob spun around and tried to push past him.

 

            “Hey!”

 

            “Fucker!” He shouted into the restaurant. “I’ll kill you, you fucker!”

 

“Knock it off!”  Jack manhandled Rob out the door and practically carried him halfway down the block before letting him go and stepping back. “Just go home and go to sleep. Everything’ll look better in the morning. Okay, buddy? Seriously.”

 

            “They fucking fired me, Jack. They fired me. He did it, ‘cause…because she’s sleeping with the sonofabitch, and….”

 

            “Shit. I know. I know.” Jack pushed open the glass doors and gently pulled Rob outside. He straightened Rob up and shook his head. “Go home, Rob. You don’t want any trouble, do you? You know what’ll happen if old man Smith see’s you here.”

 

            “Fuck.” Rob groped in his pocket for his car keys. “Fine. Fine.”

 

            “Shit. You didn’t drive here like this, did you?”

 

            “What the fuck do you think?”

 

            “Here, give me those.” Jack snatched the key ring out of Rob’s hand, pulled off the keys to the car and handed the others back. “Jesus, Rob. I’m not going to let you drive home like that. Here. I’ll drive your car over to your place later. Now, call a cab and go-fucking-home.”

 

            Rob glared at Jack for a second, then shrugged and took a messy swig from his bottle. Whisky ran down his chin, soaking the front of his suit.

 

“Arrrh!” he grunted, grimacing like a pirate as the fiery liquid poured down his throat.

 

            Jack watched him stumble across the street, tossing the car keys in his hand. After Rob melted into rush-hour crowd, he pocketed them, then adjusted his tie and rolled his neck. A second later, someone altogether different drifted after Rob like a ghost.

 

***

 

            Rob staggered back across the street and leaned against the brick wall of a hotel, drinking. He wiped his mouth with the back of his hand, and decided he needed to take a piss. He groped his way into an alley behind the building, feeling suddenly like one of the bums he and Jack used to flick pennies at.

 

He belched and set the bottle precariously on the edge of an open dumpster. He unzipped his trousers, spread his legs and braced himself with his forearm on the grimy wall. Rob hummed to himself while he pulled out his dick, wiggled his ass around a bit to get the old juice flowing, and sent a warm, steaming jet of urine splattering onto the filthy pavement.

 

            “Well, well. Look at you, my friend.”

 

            Rob jumped, startled, the last drops of piss soaking his foot. A tall, well-dressed man stood at the mouth of the alley, blocking his view of the street. Underneath a shock of black hair, the man’s eyes seemed to glow a deep, fiery red.

 

            “That was quite a spectacle, back there.”

           

            “Holy shit!” Rob blinked. He grabbed for the bottle of whiskey and held it if front of him, like a club. The last of the booze ran down his arm. “Who the fuck are you?”

 

            The man just stood there, staring at Rob with his head cocked to one side, a snide little grin twitching at the edges of his mouth.

 

            “That’s perfectly good Jack you’re wasting, Rob. We could be drinking that.”

 

            “I said, who the fuck are you?” Rob shook the bottle menacingly at the stranger. “…And…and how the hell do you know my name?”

 

            The man stepped closer. His teeth flashed white, and his eyes burned against his dark face.

 

            “I know quite a bit about you Rob. I know what happened to you at work today; why you’re standing here now in a filthy alley, pissing on your foot, instead of across the street, in the bar, celebrating your promotion with your friend, Jack. As for me? Well.” He spread his hands, and the grin widened. “I ‘m the man that can make your dreams come true.”

 

            “What? What the hell are you talking about?”

 

            The smile grew even wider, until Rob couldn’t seem to focus on anything else. The rest of the world seemed to fade away, until all he could see was the smile, and the man’s eyes…

 

            “Why don’t I let you buy us a few rounds, Rob, and we’ll talk.” The man stood to the side and extended his arm. “How does that sound?”

           

            “You’re fucking kidding.”

 

            The man’s head tipped further to the side. “Why would I do a thing like that?”

 

            “You a homo?”

 

            “Now, please. Were all adults here, Rob. Was that supposed to be an insult?”

 

            “Huh?”

 

            “Oh, bloody hell. How did you ever graduate law school if you can’t answer a simple question? No wonder they fired you.”

 

            “Fuck you.”

 

            “Now, now, Rob.” The man sighed. “Are you a homo?”

 

            “Shit. You’re not a fag, you’re English.”

 

            “Ah. My accent. No, I’m not from that hellishly damp little island.” The man smiled his crazy smile again. “Well, that’s close enough for shits and giggles. Now, how about that drink, my friend? You can tell me your troubles. Perhaps afterwards there will be something I can do to repay my debt.”

 

            “Thought you said ‘drinks’.”

 

            “Oh, quite right. I did.” The man grinned about that, too. “Yes, drinks. Plural. Many. More than one. Several, in fact.”

 

            Rob tried to think his way through his drunken haze. What the hell, he decided, and tossed the empty bottle toward the dumpster. It shattered in a spray of glass. “Yeah. Sure. Why not?”

 

            “That’s my boy.” The man grinned and wrapped a long, thin arm around Rob’s round shoulders. “Let’s spare no expense!” He paused and sniffed. “Hm. I forgot about the urine. Well. Perhaps we can find a less reputable establishment that won’t mind the bloody awful smell.” He waved theatrically. “Now, let’s be off!”

Thursday,

 

            Vanden Smith checked his teeth in the mirror, licking the tip of one sparkling incisor with his tongue. He tightened the knot in his tie and stepped back, taking stock.

 

            Perfect.

 

As always.

 

            He turned and stepped back into the bedroom. Yvonne was still asleep, snuggled into the messy covers. Vanden stood over her for a moment, admiring her soft curves, the sleek muscles under her nut brown skin, the luxuriant mass of glossy brown hair strewn wildly about the pillows. Her hair was so dark; it looked almost black in the morning sunlight streaming through the open windows.

 

            What a lovely way to spend the last week, getting to know that body. And what did it cost him? A pittance. Barely. He was sure she believed the gifts to be extravagant, and who was he to dissuade her? Let her go on thinking she was…special.

 

            In return for his favors, she might actually do better work.

 

One of her feet stuck out of the bottom of a tangled sheet. He bent and tickled the bottom, until she flinched and mumbled something incomprehensible into the pillows.

 

“It’s getting late. You’ve got a busy day ahead of you, sweetheart. Time to get up.”

 

“Mmmn.” She sighed, and flipped over.

 

The sheets slipped down, exposing her exquisite breasts, her flat, muscular belly. She grabbed his wrist and pulled him close.

 

“Ohh, don’t go.” She touched his face with the tips of her fingers. “Why don’t you come back to bed? We could…”

 

“Sorry dear,” Vanden smiled and kissed her. “The limosine will be here any moment, and I can’t miss my flight.”

 

“Hmph.” She pouted.

 

He kissed her again, ran his hand lightly over her shoulder and squeezed one of those lovely breasts, until her hard, rubbery nipple poked his palm. Then he backed up, slipped out of her grip, and shrugged into his suit jacket.

 

“I must go.”

 

Yvonne gathered a sheet, wrapping it around her like a toga. She followed him into the front room, tossing her hair back, raking her fingers through it like a makeshift comb. Her feet sank into the thick carpet. He grabbed his briefcase and opened the door. She gazed up at him, looking again into those amazing eyes.

 

“When will we…”

 

He kissed her, cutting her off. Then he caressed her chin.

 

“Checkout time is , but you don’t want to be late for work.”

 

He smiled, and ducked out of the door.

 

***

 

Thursday,

 

The limo pulled into the terminal, and Vanden Smith waited until the driver opened his door before stepping out onto the curb. His luggage was already scooting to the baggage area. He pulled a twenty from the clip of bills he carried in his pocket and handed it to the driver, who nodded his thanks.

 

Vanden smoothed his jacket, and walked into the airport, briefcase in hand. He was in a good mood, until he reached the loading dock for his private plane, only to discover that his pilot was late.

 

“This is unacceptable.”

 

The fat cow of an attendant smiled up at him with an apologetic look that Vanden supposed was supposed to placate him. Perhaps smooth things over.

 

“I’m sorry sir. He phoned in. There was an accident on the freeway, something about a chemical spill, and he could be another hour or so.”

 

Vanden tried turning on the vaunted Smith charm.

 

“And you don’t have any other flights I could sneak in on?”

 

“Well, let me see…” The attendant blushed and checked her computer screen. She typed a bit, then paused and said, “There’s only one other flight this morning…” She shot a sideways glance at Vanden. “…with anything available in first class. But that flight won’t leave until eleven-thirty.”

 

Vanden swore to himself, but managed to keep the smile plastered in place.

 

“That’s all?”

 

“Mmn. Well, there’s a flight leaving at ten. I’ve got plenty left in coach, but there’s a two-hour layover in Denver.”

 

Vanden tried hard not to scream.

 

“So it would still be faster to…wait for my pilot to arrive.”

 

 “Yes, sir.” She nodded. “Probably.”

 

“Well. I suppose there’s nothing to do but get comfortable, is there?”

 

***

 

            Vanden grumbled about the help all the way to the bathroom.

 

            Somehow he found an empty stall without either a puddle of piss on the floor or a stinking load left by the last asshole who couldn’t be bothered to flush the toilet. He hung his briefcase on the coat hanger screwed into the back of the door and did his business.

 

            While he was shaking the last drips from his dick, Vanden heard someone else enter the bathroom and start checking the stalls. Someone whistling, doors opening and closing. He resisted the urge to check and make sure he’d locked the door to his stall.

 

The footsteps stopped a couple doors down, but the whistling continued, joined a second later by the unmistakable sound of a man urinating.

 

            Vanden sniffed. Using a public restroom…

 

            How pedestrian.

 

            But, he reflected, situations like this kept one humble. Just another reminder of how everyone puts their pants on one leg at a time. As his father used to say, you can’t lose touch with the average man.

 

            Feeling better about his latest contact with the rabble, Vanden flushed and made his way out of the stall to the row of sinks along the mirrored wall opposite. He set his briefcase on the driest part of the counter and turned on the faucet.

 

            The annoying whistling continued from the stall behind him as he bent to wash his hands. Vanden turned the water on as hot as it would go and lathered up – you could never be too careful. Places like this were absolute breeding grounds for germs – and rinsed.

 

            He glanced up as the stall door opened, and did a double take, staring into the mirror when he recognized the man emerging from the toilet.

 

            “You?”

 

            The man grinned, and ran a chubby hand through his thinning hair.

 

            “What the hell are you doing here? Are you following me?”

 

            The man casually stepped up behind Vanden, pulling something from the back pocket of his trousers.

 

            A new leather wallet fell to the floor, unnoticed.

 

            Vanden Smith turned to confront the newcomer, soapy water dripping from his hands.

 

            “I could have you arrested, you know that…”

 

            The man lunged, shoving Vanden against the counter. Fingers knotted in his steel grey hair and yanked his head back, exposing his neck. Vanden brought his hands up, but before he could react, a small blade flicked open and flashed through the air, once, twice.

 

Dark blood sprayed the mirrors, the walls.

 

The man’s face was serene, almost inquisitive. He held Vanden up with an iron grip as he struggled. Vanden tried fight, but the other man seemed inhumanly strong and held him still; he tried to speak, to call out for help, but a clot of bloody mucus gurgled in his throat, dribbled from his open mouth, drowning his screams. The other man grinned, and his eyes seemed to glow with an inhuman light.

 

And then his face melted away.

 

            Vanden dropped to the floor in a widening pool of blood, twitching and gasping. He pawed ineffectually at the knife embedded in his neck, his feet kicking at the slick tile floor.

 

            The other man watched him die, grinning with the pleasure of the hunt.

 

            The other man casually straightened his tie in the mirror as Vanden Smith’s life slowly ebbed away. He picked up the briefcase from the counter and stepped back out into the terminal, blending into the crowd, until he came to the escalator that would take him down two levels to the baggage area.

 

He dropped the briefcase on a partially full luggage rack, and left the confines of the airport without a backwards glance as the first shouts rang out from a restroom two levels up.

 

A few moments later, in the short term parking lot, a new Lexus roared to life. At the pay booths, someone who looked quite a bit like Jack Anderson handed the attendant a crisp twenty dollar bill along with a parking ticket.

 

The attendant counted back the change and raised the cross bar. The man who was now Jack Kennedy grinned and gunned the Lexus out onto the freeway. He glanced at the clock on the dashboard.

 

He had one other errand. And then his part of the bargain would be just about finished. He thought about all the fun things he had planned for Yvonne Craig.

 

But that would wait for later.

 

He cracked open a bottle of whiskey that Rob had left in his car, sipped.

 

He was in no hurry. He had all the time in the world.

Thursday,

           

Pounding.

 

            Loud, intolerable, insistent pounding woke Rob up.

 

            “Dammit, I’m coming!”

 

He groaned and peeled himself, still fully dressed, off the carpet of his living room floor. He carefully pushed himself up to a kneeling position, and when the room stopped spinning, he peeked out of crusted eyelids to find sunlight streaming through his picture window, along with the ugly, bearded face of a delivery man, shouting something garbled and smacking his fist on the window, over and over.

 

“Jesus.” He smacked his lips. His mouth tasted like something small and furry died a nasty death in it, sometime the week before.

 

Rob lurched to his feet and stumbled to the door, yanked it open to find a truck idling at the curb, and a large wooden crate balanced on the lip of a hand truck standing in his otherwise empty driveway. Rob wondered what the hell happened to his car while the delivery guy took his own sweet time walking up the steps.

 

“What’s going on?” Rob asked.

 

The delivery guy thrust a clipboard and a pen into Rob’s hands.

 

“Robert Wiltsey?”

 

“Yeah. That’s me.”

 

“Got somethin’ for ya.”

 

Rob stared at the guy, then down at the crate.

 

“What the hell is it?”

 

“I dunno. It’s for you. You don’t know what it is?”

 

“No, I don’t know what it is.”

 

The guy looked down at the crate.

 

“Looks kinda like a coffin.”

 

It sure does, Rob thought. “I don’t want that thing.”

 

“You didn’t order it?”

 

“What? No, I didn’t order it. I just said I didn’t know what it is…”

 

“Well, okay. Folks get stuff from family and like that all the time.” The delivery guy spat a green wad of tobacco juice onto the stoop and nodded at the clipboard. “Mind signin’ the delivery invoice for me?”

 

“I just told you I don’t want it.”

 

The guy shrugged. “I can’t take it back. There’s no return address.”

 

“You’re kidding me. I…ah, shit. Nevermind. Here.”

 

The delivery guy watched Rob scribble his name on the carbon paper.

 

“What if it is a coffin?”

 

“Huh?”

 

“I mean, there could be a dead body in there, couldn’t there?”

 

Rob made a face. “I don’t think so.”

 

“Oh. Really?”

 

Rob frowned at him. “Really.”

 

“Oh. Okay. Hey, y’know, I thought you were dead for a second there, lyin’ there on the floor like that. You look like shit, man.”

 

“Yeah, well, I’ve felt better.”

 

“Tie one on last night?”

 

Rob handed back the clipboard and grimaced, holding his hand up to shield his eyes from the sun. Bits and pieces of the previous evening were beginning to come back.

 

“Oh, yeah. I guess you could say that.”

 

“Right on. Oh, hey. Almost forgot. This goes with the crate.” He handed Rob a small manila envelope, then stuck his thumb back over his shoulder. “Maybe it’ll tell ya what’s inside that thing. Where do you want it?”

 

Rob sighed. “I guess you can bring it inside.”

 

“Mind helpin’ me drag it up these steps?”

 

“Now you are kidding, right?”

 

“It’s a heavy sum’bitch. Barely got it outta the truck.” He peered around Rob, into the house. “Hey, don’cha have any furniture in there?”

            Twenty sweaty minutes later, the delivery guy handed Rob a copy of the invoice and drove off. Rob stared at the crate propped up against his fireplace mantle and ran his hand through his thinning hair. He grinned ruefully.

 

            Bald and unemployed at thirty. Great.

He glanced around at his otherwise empty house.

 

I think I need a drink.

 

Rob shuffled into the kitchen and looked around in the fridge for a beer.

 

“C’mere, come to daddy…”

 

He found the remains of a six pack buried on the bottom shelf behind some leftover pizza. He popped one open and slugged half, dribbling foam down his shirt. He burped heartily and sighed, wiping his mouth on the sleeve of his jacket.

 

            “Damn, that’s tasty,” he said to no one in particular, and took another gulp before digging through a junk drawer where he kept the few tools he owned, hunting down a hammer. “Where are you, you fucker…c’mon…there you are…”

 

            Rob yanked the hammer out of the drawer and grabbed the last can of beer, dropping the empty on his counter along with all the crap he’d pulled out of the drawer. He cracked the new beer and shambled unsteadily back into the living room, drinking as he went. He stopped in front of the crate.

 

            “Now, let’s see what the hell you are.”

 

He set the can on the fireplace mantle and picked up the manila envelope. He sliced open a good chunk of his thumb as he slid it through the flap.

 

“Ow! Sonofabitch!”

 

He sucked at the blood dripping down his thumb and pulled out a single sheet of yellowing parchment. The paper looked ages-old, worn and delicate as fine lace. at first glance the paper looked clean, void of any writing. Rob turned it over, smearing it with a bloody thumbprint, and held it up to the light.

 

“What the hell…”

 

He could barely make out a few words, a note scrawled in the middle of the page in a spidery script that read, simply, “A small gift between friends. Thanks for the drinks.”

 

Rob dropped the paper with a confused shake of his head. He took off his ruined suit jacket and dropped it on the floor.

 

“Well, that’s for shit.”

 

He stripped down to his t-shirt and took another drink, then swung the hammer. The spikes chunked into the side of the crate, and he started prying at the boards. Long nails squealed in protest as they pulled loose from the rough planks.

 

“Huh.” Rob grunted as the crate’s lid pulled away.

 

Another box. But this…this was different.

 

It was a case made of some smooth, black wood; highly polished to a shine that reflected his haggard face, his stained and rumpled clothes. A small, chipped emblem made of pure white marble decorated the top half of the box.

 

The delivery guys’ voice seemed to float back.

 

Looks a lot like a coffin…

 

“No fucking way. Jesus. You can’t ship somebody a dead body. No. Uh-uh. Nope.”

 

Suddenly feeling strangely paranoid, Rob carefully reached into the crate and pulled, but the box inside didn’t budge.

 

“C’mon, damn it. Get out of there.”

 

Rob rocked the crate back and forth, grunting with the effort. The box inside tipped out, and it took all Rob’s strength to keep it from crashing to the floor. Somehow he managed to lever it to the ground. He stood over the gleaming casket with his legs spread, sweaty and panting, wishing he had more beer.

 

“That guy was right.” He whistled between his teeth. “It’s a fucking coffin.”

 

The box was about six feet long and three feet wide. It was hinged on one side with a sleek latch on the other, and it was definitely deep enough to put a body in.

 

“Unbelievable.”

 

Rob tried the latch, but he couldn’t seem to find the catch. It was a smooth, silvery metal plate set flush into the wood, with a small, oval groove in the middle. He pulled and prodded and swore at it, but nothing happened.

 

He picked up the parchment again, wondering if he’d missed part of the note.

 

“This can’t be that hard to figure out. I…Holy shit.”

 

The parchment was completely blank. Rob flipped the paper over in his hands again and again, wondering if he was still passed out drunk, dreaming all this. Then the cut along the side of his thumb throbbed painfully, and he remembered something his mom showed him how to do as a kid, a simple trick with paper, water and lemons.

 

“Invisible ink,” He grinned. “Must be. This is some corny shit.”

 

He tossed the paper aside again and leaned closer, studying the lock. He rubbed the chunk of metal. It felt almost…warm. And the groove…

 

He ran his bloody thumb along the groove, and pressed.

 

The latch clicked open…

 

“Huh.”

 

…and the lid swung out, slowly…

 

“Holy shit!”

 

Rob scuttled backwards on all fours until his back smacked into the wall. He sat, trembling, unable to take his eyes of the slim body nestled inside.

 

***

 

So she was sleeping with you?

Well, no, but we had drinks a couple times.

Ah. I see. And you didn’t know she was screwing your boss?

Not till today.

And she was fucking him to get the promotion you wanted?

Guess so.

And then she got you fired.

Rob sighed, shrugged.

Huh. Well, Rob, my friend. I’ll hand it to you. You got royally fucked. Just not the way you would’ve liked.

You can say that again.

The Big Bang.

Uh-huh.

But you didn’t even manage to get your dick wet.

Fuck you.

The dark man grinned.

 

Touched a nerve there, did I? Rob, did you know that pussy can make a normal, sane man crazy? Absolutely, completely, certifiably mental.

Yeah. Rob swirled a finger in the spilled beer, drawing wet circles on the tabletop. I think I’m figuring that out.

It’s all about control. You see?

Uh-huh.

Your situation is just one example.

One?

Mm.

What’s another?

 

The man leaned forward intently, warming up to his subject.

I can think of many examples of the war between the sexes to illustrate my point. Rape is a perfect example. Extreme, I admit, but still…

Rob peered at the man over the rim of his mug.

 

Rape? What the hell do you mean?

It’s the act of control, Rob. Rape is violent and disturbing, perhaps, but that’s all in one’s point of view, isn’t it? And where exactly does the act of rape stem from?

Control.

Exactly.

How do you figure that?

The dark man spread his hands and smiled benignly. Without going into much detail, I simply have some…practical experience regarding the subject, enough to make an observation.

‘Practical experience’? Oh, my God! You mean... you’ve actually raped someone?

The dark man grinned and drained his mug. He slammed the empty glass onto the table and wiped foam from his mustache with the tips of slender fingers.

Let’s just say that I am something of an admirer of human nature. Someone who appreciates and…well, occasionally indulges the more…base impulses.  The dark man leaned even closer. His eyes seemed to burn into Rob’s skull. How are you feeling?

What, about this fucked up conversation?

No, no…about what happened this morning. And since.

I’m pissed off. What d’you think? I mean, I lost my job because I thought I was doing the right thing for a client, and then I found out that it didn’t matter anyway, because I don’t have tits and a pussy.

Rob dropped his head into his hands. He took a deep breath and let it out slowly, ran his fingers through his thinning hair. The dark man shifted in his seat, studying him intently.

So Rob, what do you want?

 

I don’t know. Rob whined miserably.

 

The dark man waved his empty mug at the waitress standing across the room at the bar. The waitress nodded and grabbed an empty, frosty pitcher and stuck it under a tap.

 

Her, perhaps? Our waitress? She’s quite attractive. What if you could grab her here, right now, and bend her over this table? Would you take her?

What are you, sick or something? Jesus. Is everything about pussy?

This is purely a hypothetical question, Rob.

You mean would I fuck her, or are you asking me if I’d rape her?

Let’s say rape. What if you could get away with it, without any sort of punishment? Would you attempt it? Would you enjoy it?

I don’t know. Sorry, but I don’t go around thinking, ‘Hey, she’s hot. Maybe I’ll put on a mask and break into her apartment later’.

But you admit that she’s quite attractive.

Rob considered the girl. She caught them staring and grinned.

Yeah, sure, but…

And if there is no punishment, no guilt, the act is one and the same, is it not?

The hell it is! Not if she doesn’t want it. Not if she gets hurt.

For some people, that’s simply a turn on. Do you realize how many women fantasize about being attacked? Even when, outwardly, a woman would say all the right things about the subject, all the appropriate things; but when they’re alone, needing release, their mind turns to the stock boy they glimpsed at the grocery store, or the delivery man, or the gardener. The repressed desires come to the fore…

 

The muscles in Rob’s jaw clenched and popped as the pretty redhead brought them another pitcher of beer.

 

Here you go boys. She took the time to fill both of their mugs; then sat the pitcher down on the table between them. Drink up.

Rob fumbled for his wallet. He couldn’t seem to get his fingers to work right. The dark man reached across the table.

 

Here. Let me.

He took Rob’s wallet, picked out a few bills and handed them to the waitress with a flourish.

 

Thank you, my dear. The dark man smiled up at her, catching her eye with his and touching her gently on the arm before she turned to go. Thank you so much.

Oh, for you two, anytime.

The dark man chuckled as she floated away, blushing, glancing back at him over her shoulder with dreamy eyes. He set Rob’s wallet down on the table, by his mug. Rob was staring at the girl’s ass, swaying a little in his chair.

 

You see? Such a simple thing, to get their attention. Just a word, or a caress, and they’re smitten, like a school girl with her first crush.  He glanced over at Rob out of the corner of his eye. You are attracted to her, aren’t you?

A statement, not a question.

 

Admit it Rob. It’s not a sin to desire someone.

Rob stared at the table, embarrassed.

 

Yeah. Sure. Of course. She’s beautiful.

 

I absolutely love redheads, myself – true redheads, that is. They’re born with a fiery nature.  The dark man took a sip of beer and sighed gratefully. Think about it Rob. Would you like to hike that little skirt up over that nice, round ass and rip off her panties? Can you imagine what her panties look like, Rob? What they feel like? What about her pussy?

The girl caught Rob staring again and smiled at him. Rob felt something inside him stir, something deep and primal. His eyes flickered and his breath caught in his chest as the dark man continued…

Would it be shaven as smooth as a child’s, warm and wet to the touch? Or do you think she has a nice, full bush of that fine, curly red hair? Would you like to rip open her blouse while you had her, or would you leave it on? Would you be gentle while you ride her, or would you take her pussy and fuck her like a man?

Shut up.

I’ll ask the question again: Rob, would you fuck her?

Rob glanced at the waitress again, feeling his cock throbbing in his pants. His voice was husky, lowered almost to a whisper when he answered, as if she could hear him from across the noisy room.

Hell yeah. Wouldn’t you?

The man sat back with a smug look and drank deeply from his full mug.

 

So. He smacked his lips. The truth wins out. You would fuck her.

Yeah. Yeah, you bet.

Now, would you rape her? Remember, there is no guilt, no punishment. Only the sweet release of those primal desires; the total pleasure one achieves by taking absolute control over another human being. No one is judging you here, my friend.

Rob blinked quickly, and took a drink to hide his embarrassment. He scratched the back of his neck and stared at the waitress as she bent over to clean an empty booth. Her skirt pulled up and he could just see the bottom of her ass cheeks, just make out her lacy white panties. Her breasts jiggled and bounced in her work shirt as she wiped down the table top.

Just like that?

The dark man nodded. Rob licked his lips. His throat was dry and scratchy, and something he’d never felt before was burning, deep in his gut.

 

Yeah. Okay. Yeah. I would.

Excellent, Rob!

 

The dark man grinned and rolled his head around, loudly popping the bones in his neck.

Ahh, that feels good. So. What is it that you want, Rob?

What do I want right now?

Mm-hmm.

Rob was quiet a moment. He took a long drink, savored it, thinking. Then he looked up again, and for the first time that night, he was able to meet those burning coals staring out at him from that grinning face.

What I keep thinking? You really want to know what’s been running through my head all day long?

Yes.

This is so fucked up.

Tell me, Rob. I can’t help you if you won’t be honest and tell me what you truly want.

I really wanted to screw Yvonne. My friend Jack – he worked with me at the firm – he and I used to bullshit about it all the time. I guess I still do.

A hate fuck. Revenge.

Yeah, I guess that fits. But right now, I almost wish they were dead.

‘Almost’, Rob?

 

***

Thursday,

 

“Omigod.”

 

Rob wasn’t sure how long he sat like that, with his back plastered against the wall, sweating, staring and gasping for breath.

 

“Oh God, oh God, oh God…”

 

He stared in horror at the girl in the box. Little bits and pieces of the night before were slowly coming back. He remembered the man with the burning eyes that seemed to pierce right into the back of his head, and their conversation about the waitress…

 

“Nononono…oh God, don’t be dead. Please don’t be dead…”

 

It was that fucked up guy at the bar. It had to be. He fucking kidnapped her and killed her, and... And packed her up and sent her here like some kind of sick birthday present…

 

Rob gathered his legs underneath him and crawled forward slowly. He reached out a shaking hand and gently touched her face, expecting…what, exactly? He’d never touched a dead body before, never even seen one; he only knew what he’d seen on TV, and in movies. If she was dead, she’d be cold, right? Like something in a freezer?

 

No, not like that. Cold, like a thawed steak, maybe? But, not…warm?

 

Rob jerked back his hand and held it like he’d been scalded. His breath hissed through his teeth.

 

Omigod.

He looked closer; saw the slow but steady rise and fall of her chest.

She’s alive! But what’s wrong with her? Why didn’t she suffocate?

Rob licked his lips, shook her a little. Her eyelids fluttered, but barely; hardly enough for Rob to even notice.

 

Drugs. He must’ve drugged her, with something that slowed her breathing down enough that she wouldn’t use up all the oxygen in the coffin.

 

The girl was still wearing the same clothes she had on the night before, at the bar.

 

What do I do? What…The police, I’ll call the police! And, and…and what? Tell them I’ve got a coffin in my living room, with a drugged girl that some freak with…with glowing red eyes kidnapped and sent to me because…because…

Why?

 

Rob groaned and dug at his swollen eyes with the heels of his palms.

 

Because I told him that I wanted to fuck her. That’s why.

Rob sat back on his haunches, shaking his head.

 

I wonder if anybody’s missed her yet. Or if her kidnapping’s been on the news? Maybe…maybe I could call Jack? Fuck. No way. He wouldn’t believe me unless he saw her, and then he’d just tell me to call the cops.

Unconsciously, Rob peered back into the coffin, taking in the girls rosy cheeks; the wisps of soft, red curls billowing around her face; the light spray of freckles across the bridge of her button nose.

 

Or he wouldn’t believe a word I said, and he’d call the cops on me.

 

A nasty, sick thought came to him.

 

Or, maybe…he’d tell me to fuck her.

 

***

 

A small piece of paper was pinned to the girls’ blouse, just above her left breast. A message, written in the same loose, spidery script on the same, fragile parchment as the other note with the disappearing ink. It read, Hi, Rob, I’m Sarah. Pleased to meet you. I brought a few things for a sleepover.

“Jesus. What a sick motherfucker. Did he follow her home?”

 

Rob unpinned the note and crumpled it up in his hand, tossed the ball into his empty fireplace. The girl fit perfectly in the coffin, with room to spare. Inside, Rob found a large knapsack stuffed under her feet. He gently raised her legs and pulled it out, then unlaced the flap and opened it up.

 

Maybe she has a purse in here, Rob thought, or a drivers license, or something with a phone number…

 

Rob reached inside and pulled out a fistful of lingerie: bras and panties and stockings… He swallowed and reached in again, found more clothes, rolled up skirts and nice, silk blouses, shoes, jewelry…

 

“Oh, God.”

 

Rob sat back, the contents of the bag spilled around him. Enough clothes and makeup to play dress-up for a week or more, but no identification. He stood up slowly, his knees cracking, and peered down into the coffin at the girl.

 

“I’m sorry, uh, Sarah. I didn’t mean for this to happen. I just wanted to get drunk last night, and talk to somebody…”

 

Here in the daylight, Rob was struck by how beautiful she really was. And she looked so…peaceful, like she was sleeping. He, on the other hand, was hung-over as hell with a monster of a headache brewing, and his mind was reeling. Rob thought about the police again, what he could tell them that wouldn’t land him in prison.

 

“Maybe…maybe I can wake you up. Sure! Then you can tell me what happened.” He snapped his fingers. “Simple! We can call the police together, and we’ll tell ‘em about the sick-o freak. There’s no way they’d just believe me, but you saw him too.”

 

Rob sighed with relief.

 

“Well, I can’t leave you in this thing.” He bent over and slipped his arms under her waist and the crook of her legs, then straightened with a grunt.

 

“Oh, shit!’

 

Lifting somebody who was out cold wasn’t as easy as it looked in the movies. But then, usually in the movies the guy doing the lifting was some buff, studly hero-type, not the chubby, balding, out-of-shape attorney type.

 

Well, Rob thought, make that the ex-attorney type.

 

The girl was limp and her arms and legs were flopping all over; he couldn’t get a good grip and she slipped right out of his arms.

 

“C’mon, baby, c’mere…”

 

Rob pulled her closer, so his chin bumped into her chest. He took a long, deep breath and caught a faint whiff of her perfume, the smell of cigarettes and alcohol and food on her clothes, in her hair. He hoped she couldn’t smell him. He tried and failed to ignore how soft she was, how nice her curves felt against him. Then he counted to three and straightened with a grunt.

 

“Ooh, God!”

 

 A sharp spear of pain shot up his back.

 

“Urg. Wow. That hurts. Uh, sorry…Sarah…it’s not you. I’m just a little out of shape.”

 

For a second Rob wished that he’d bothered to visit the company gym once or twice, or even taken Jack up on his endless offers for racquetball lessons. His thoughts drifted back to his father again, forcing him to carry wood on their infrequent camping trips when he was an even shorter, pudgier kid.

 

Come on, you little pussy! Be a man! You’re stronger than that!

Rob locked his knees and staggered into his bedroom, the one, partially furnished room in his house, with Sarah’s limp body clutched tightly to his chest, her arms and legs dangling loosely. He lost his footing in a pile of laundry and tumbled with her onto his unmade bed. He scrambled off her like she was on fire and fell into a chair.

 

There pussy-boy! I told you you could do it!

“Shut up, dad!” Rob shook his head and flipped on his television. He scanned the channels with his remote, and didn’t find a single news bulletin about the girl. He shut off the TV in disgust. He stood and stepped to the side of his bed.

 

Sarah was sprawled out on the mattress with her torso twisted to one side and her arms and legs bent at odd angles; her long, curly hair billowed out underneath her head. The top of her blouse had become unbuttoned, just enough for him to catch a tantalizing glimpse of a black satin bra and the round flesh at the top of her breasts. The hem of her skirt had slipped up around her hips, giving him full view of her panties – the white, lacy panties he’d been fantasizing about just hours ago at the bar.

 

Cold sweat beaded along his upper lip, and began trickling down his back.

 

Rob couldn’t look. He told himself not to, that he had to be a gentleman. But he couldn’t not look. He reached down to straighten her skirt, and his hand brushed the soft skin of her thigh. He felt a sudden pang of desire, that burning in his gut that seemed to spread through his whole body, and jerked his hand away.

 

“Um, Sarah?” He whispered to her, softly, as if she was sleeping. He nudged her shoulder. “Sarah? Are you awake?”

 

No answer. No movement. Rob nudged her again, gently rocking her body.

 

“Sarah? Is that your name? Sarah?”

 

Rob sat down next to her. The mattress creaked under his weight, and she slid into him. He sighed with frustration, and absently touched her hair.

 

“Maybe I could call the bar, and ask them who you are, or…” He shook his head. “No. That won’t work. That’ll just get somebody suspicious, and…and maybe they could trace the call with caller id…”

 

For a long minute he just sat next to her, watching her.

 

“At least you’re breathing okay, I guess.”

 

He yawned, feeling the effects of all the stress from the day before; of being fired, all of the booze, the lack of sleep. He stood, grabbed a pillow off the bed and padded over to a chair, settled in.

 

“I’ll just wait for you to wake up, then we can work this out.”

 

Rob tucked the pillow behind his head and kicked off his shoes, used his toes to peel off his damp, sweaty socks. He watched the girl for a few more minutes, feeling drowsy, until his heavy eyelids fell closed.

 

A moment later, they both slept.

 

***

 

Thursday,

            Yvonne Craig slipped onto a barstool at MacTarahan’s and ordered a glass of white wine from Sammy. He served her with a flourish – she liked that about Sammy; he always had a smile for her, he always knew what she was drinking, and he never tried to hit on her.

 

Of course, it helped that he was as gay as day was long.

 

She liked coming into the bar about this time for much the same reasons. It rarely got busy until later in the evening, and most of the customers were regulars who knew to leave her alone.

 

She took a sip and started to relax.

 

            “Thanks Sammy.”

 

            “Of course, girl. Tough day?”

 

            “Mm.”

 

            “You’ve been a busy girl this week. Fire anybody else?”

 

            How did he know about that? Yvonne wondered. She took another sip before she replied.

 

            “We’ve had to do some housecleaning.”

 

            Sammy grinned knowingly and started wiping down the already immaculate bar.

 

            “Why do you ask?”

 

            “Girl, you know. I’m all about the gossip. Keeps me young.”

 

            “Sammy…”

 

One of the waitresses shouldered in next to Yvonne and tossed a ticket on the bar.

 

            “Hey, Sammy. Two more Stout’s for table three?”

 

            “You got it girl.”

 

He picked to clean glasses off a full tray and stuck them under the tap. Yvonne pursed her lips and took a drink, waited until he poured the drinks. The waitress picked up the tray and gave Yvonne a cheery grin. Yvonne managed to give something like a smile back, then turned her attention back to Sammy.

 

“So?”

 

“A short, pudgy guy was in here looking for you, just a few minutes before you came in. I think it was the same guy who threw a fit in the lobby last night.”

 

            “Really?”

 

            “Mm. He threw another tizzy. We had to have security give him the heave-ho.”

 

            Rob, she thought. Must’ve been. “I didn’t see him when I got here.”

 

            “Guess he got the hint.” Sammy leaned forward. “So, what happened to your sugar daddy?”

 

            “Will you stop? That’s all finished.” Yvonne grinned demurely and crossed her legs. Sammy knew all about her little fling.

 

            “I see. Running the office by yourself now?”

 

            “First day.” She nodded. “Vanden flew out this morning.”

 

            “That so?”

 

            “Mm-hmm.”

 

            “Did he leave satisfied?”

 

            “Will you shut up?” Yvonne laughed. It was a good, sexy laugh; nice and throaty. “Of course he did.”

 

            “Do tell?”

 

            “Ha. Let’s just say that I got to keep the car, and he had a nice limo ride to the airport.”

 

            “He gave you the Beamer?”

 

            “Mm.”

 

            “Why can’t I find a man like that?

 

            “Sometimes it helps to have a pair of these.” Yvonne pointed at her tits. “No offence.”

 

            “If that’s what it takes, I’ll start saving up.”

 

            Yvonne laughed again.

 

            Sammy grinned and glanced over her shoulder. He leaned over the counter and whispered conspiratorially, “Girl, I bet I know something you don’t know.”

 

            “Oh? What’s that?”

 

            “Give it a second…”

 

            Yvonne took another drink and half-turned in her seat. A warm hand caressed the nape of her neck, sending a chill down her spine. Yvonne shivered. Soft lips touched the tip of her ear, and her cheek. The chill turned into a warm blush.

 

            Yvonne looked up into Vanden Smith’s glittering eyes.

 

She couldn’t get enough of those eyes. They were spellbinding. It was like he could see down into her soul with each glimpse, each sideways glance.

 

            “Vanden? I thought you left…I mean…you’re supposed to be in New York tomorrow…?”

 

            “Ah, well. I do believe I’d rather be here, than twiddling my thumbs in an empty apartment in that noisy, dirty city.” He paused and grinned. “Or, rather, I’d rather be at your apartment, twiddling something else.”

 

***

 

            Asleep in his chair, Rob’s body jerked and twisted suddenly.

 

            In his dream, Rob was back at the bar, getting drunk off his ass. Sarah was at the side of the table, constantly refilling his drink, pouring more beer into his mug as fast as he could tip it back. He’d quaff a full, foaming mug, dribbling the dark amber fluid down his face and neck, into his lap, soaking himself, and then she’d clean him up, wiping his face and crotch with a filthy, wet towel that she’d stick back into the waistband of her apron.

 

The dark man was still there too; sitting just across the table, laughing a deep, maniacal laugh and pinching Sarah’s ass every time she bent over to wipe the beer from Rob’s lap. But his face was lost; shrouded in darkness, blank like voided space. The only features Rob could make out were his blazing, coal red eyes, and a long, sharp pair of ash-white horns that protruded from the top of his skull.

 

Don’t you like her ass, Rob? Don’t you want to squeeze it? Go ahead, give it a spank! Watch it jiggle!

 

Rob spilled more beer down his front, and Sarah bent to with the towel, leaning over until her breasts popped out of her blouse, jiggling in her black bra. She looked up and smiled, licked her ruby lips with the tip of a dainty pink tongue as she rubbed at the damp cloth. With his cock straining to break free, Rob drained his mug as she began tugging at his zipper.

 

Smoke drifted up from the dark man’s eyes. He ripped Sarah’s panties down around her knees and began slapping her ass until it turned a raw, glowing pink.

 

Let her clean that mess up for you, Big Fella! Wrap a hand in that beautiful red hair and let her earn her keep! Hell, there’s enough here for everybody to take a turn!

Rob ran his fingers through Sarah’s soft curls, and she went down on him, taking him down to the hilt in a single mouthful. He felt the muscles in her slim neck contract and relax as she bobbed her head, working him.

 

He slumped in his chair, enjoying the warmth of her mouth, and looked around the bar, which suddenly seemed an open, endless space. The other customers were barely visible; wavering, wraith-like shapes that stood from their tables, naked and aroused, and shambled towards Sarah, stroking their huge, erect genitals as they surrounded her.

 

That’s right, my friend, enjoy her…that’s what she’s here for…

 

Rob tried to bring them into focus, but the moist pressure enveloping his cock distracted him. He closed his eyes, and Sarah screamed as the first of the things entered her, shoving its erect, engorged member deep into her asshole.

 

The pressure in Rob’s groin began to swell, and he laid both his hands on her head, forced her mouth back down on him. She grabbed at his ass, and he grunted and his hips jerked spastically as her body was shoved forward by the thing fucking her from behind...

 

And all the while, the dark man cackled with glee…

 

***

 

Thursday,

 

            For the second time that day, Rob woke with a start, drenched in sweat. The electric clock on his dresser told him it was a quarter after nine.

 

            “Oh, man…what a dream.”

 

Other than the glow from the clock, it was pitch black in the room. He had a raging headache, a throbbing boner, and he needed to piss like a racehorse. Rob groped along the wall, feeling his way to the bathroom. He unbuckled his belt and let his pants fall to the floor, then braced himself with his hands on the wall, leaning over his toilet, urine just barely trickling out of his swollen penis.

 

“C’mon,” He urged. “Go, go, goddamn…fucking sleep-boner…”

 

Rob managed not to fall asleep again, standing up like that, or piss on his foot (which he thought was a major accomplishment). Several minutes later, he shook himself dry. He washed his hands and stared at himself in the mirror over the sink.

 

God, he looked terrible.

 

He scrubbed his face with cold water, filled up a cup and scrounged through his medicine cabinet until he found a couple aspirin. At least, he thought they were aspirin. He wasn’t sure. It didn’t really matter, the way his head felt like it was going to split down the middle.

 

“Fuck it. If they kill me, at least the headache’ll go away.”

 

He took the chance, gulped the pills down and drained the water, then turned out the light. He padded back into his bedroom in his baggy boxers and t-shirt and crawled onto his bed. When he felt the warm body on the mattress next to him, he almost jumped out of his skin.

 

“Holy shit!”

 

Rob flipped on the lamp. A soft glow filled the room, illuminating Sarah’s soft, curvy body. He squeezed his eyes shut; counted to ten and blinked them open. This was no dream. No fantasy. The girl was still there, on his bed. She was still out cold, lying in the same, sprawled out position she was in when he passed out that afternoon.

 

Why wasn’t she awake yet? What the hell was she on? That date rape drug? What was it…Ecstasy? Hell, he’d imbibed half the beer and whiskey in the state during his little binge, and he’d been awake twice already…

 

Hungover, yeah, sure, but awake.

 

Rob reached over and shook her by the shoulder, hard.

 

“Sarah! Hey! Wake up!”

 

He shouted her name again and shook her, over and over.

 

Nothing.

 

Not even the flicker of an eyelid. Just the slow, peaceful rise and fall of her chest. Her skin glistened with a light sheen of sweat; her flesh was warm and moist under his fingertips. He pulled her shoulder, turned her over onto her back.

 

“Come on, please wake up.”

 

She was so pretty. Lying there, so close to her, his body began to tingle. The burning sensation started in his crotch and spread outwards. His cock perked back up, sticking straight out of his underpants. Snatches of a conversation floated back into his mind, unbidden.

 

You mean, would I fuck her, or are you asking me if I’d rape her?

Let’s say rape. What if you could get away with it, without any sort of punishment? Would you attempt it? Would you enjoy it?

“Oh, God. What am I thinking?”

 

Admit it Rob. It’s not a sin to desire someone…

Rob licked his lips and scooted closer, thinking that he just wanted to look at her. The hem of her skirt was still pulled up around her waist, and the tip of his cock brushed her hip, grazing lightly along the soft skin of her thigh. A shiver ran through him.

 

That’s right, my friend, enjoy her…that’s what she’s here for…

 

His hand was shaking as he reached out to pull down her skirt.

 

Don’t you like her ass, Rob? Don’t you want to squeeze it? Go ahead, give it a spank! Watch it jiggle!

 

Rob was panting; sweat beading on his forehead and his cock throbbed painfully, his whole body shaking. The ugly voice continued in his thoughts, goading him on.

 

She’ll never know…

Rob swallowed hard, the spit sticking in his throat. He touched her belly, watched his hand slide slowly up her stomach to her breasts. He cupped the breast closest to him, squeezed it gently, and watched the girls face for the faintest sign that she might notice, that she might wake up and start screaming, RAPE, RAPE!

 

But she was quiet.

 

Her back seemed to arch a bit, mashing her tit into his hand. Rob reached across her chest, letting his cock press flat against her thigh, and squeezed her other breast. This time he was positive; a low moan started, from deep in her throat, and her nipple poked through the material of her blouse, rubbed against the sweaty palm of his hand.

 

“Oh, God…” he murmured, and ran his fingertips lightly over her nipples, until they were hard as little rocks. He licked his lips and rubbed his crotch against her leg. He was so horny, he felt dizzy. “I’m sorry, Sarah. I’m sorry…”

 

He unbuttoned her blouse carefully, peeling the light, damp material back and uncovering her belly. Rob licked his dry lips and drank her in. She was slim, but curvy; with pale skin splashed with a spattering of freckles. Her breasts were larger that he’d expected, pooled into round, melon-shaped mounds on her chest, tucked into her pretty black bra. Her belly button was pierced with a silver clamp and circled with an elaborate tattoo of a butterfly. More tattoos covered her upper arms.

 

He pulled the cups of her bra down, exposing her pink, pierced nipples. They reminded him of tiny, ripe strawberries. His erection throbbed again, and he felt the first bit of cum ooze out and smear along her thigh.

 

Rob leaned over and kissed the top of her chest, her breasts, tasting her, licking her nipples. The muscles in her stomach twitched when he ran his hand back down her belly, down to her crotch. He felt the soft mound of pubic hair hidden underneath the material of her lacy panties, and he cupped her gently between her legs.

 

Her panties were soaking wet, and this time, she moaned. Her neck and back arched and her hips jerked up, pushing her tit right into his mouth. His fingers twisted around the elastic band of her panties, pulling them roughly out of the way, and his fingers almost slipped right into her warm, wet pussy.  

 

“Oh, God, Oh God…”

 

Rob could hardly breathe, and his heart was racing.

 

The only thing in his mind now was that he wanted – no, had to be inside her.

 

He raised himself up so he was kneeling over her and yanked off his t-shirt. He gently pulled her panties off, slipping them down her smooth, tan legs, and threw them onto the floor. He spread her legs slowly, until they were wide enough that he could shuffle across the covers and ease himself between them.

 

“I want you so bad…” he whispered.

 

Her pussy was covered with a nice, trim bush of fine, orange-red pubic hair. He ran his hand over her pink lips, felt another, tiny ring piercing the little nub of her clit. He eased himself on top of her and let the tip of his cock find its way.

 

Another small, quiet cry came from her lips, and Rob barely registered that her arms and legs wrapped tight around his body. He sighed as he slipped fully inside her, and pillowed his head at the side of her throat.

 

He was already moving, almost unconsciously grinding his hips against her, driving himself deeper into her.

 

“Oh, my God…”

 

Her pussy clamped around his cock, massaging him. He bit her shoulder to stifle a cry of pleasure and hooked his arms under her armpits, trying to will himself even further inside her. Deliriously, he felt her hips moving in a slow circle underneath him; her belly button ring dug into the soft folds of his gut, making him grunt and swear.

 

Rob wanted to kiss her. He levered himself up onto his elbows, nipping at her neck, kissing the point of her chin. She hissed and arched her back, driving her head into the pillows. Some dim part of Rob’s mind registered pain as she raked sharp fingernails across his back, digging bloody furrows in his flesh.

 

He groaned and pressed his lips on hers. They parted with a sigh, and he felt her little tongue flick into his hot mouth, probing. He sucked at it like a sweet piece of candy, tasted a metallic tang, felt the small nub of another piercing, a barbell thrust through her tongue.

 

Deep in his groin, his orgasm began to build, and he started to pump her, fucking her hard and fast. Their kisses became rushed and frenzied, and her legs clamped around his waist, pulling him closer, until his body couldn’t hold out any longer.

 

Rob stiffened as he came, and he heard a voice through his delirium, a feminine voice, as if from far away…

 

“Fuck yeah, cum in me baby…”

 

He jerked once, twice, and shivered with pleasure; then collapsed onto her soft flesh. He lay right on top of her, drowsy and content, letting the girl hold him. She kissed and stroked his hair, whispering sweet, quiet things into his ear. Rob felt his cock grow limp inside her.

 

He vaguely wondered when it was she woke up. And why she didn’t run out of the house, screaming for the police?

 

But he was so tired, it all barely mattered.

 

As his eyes fluttered closed, Rob realized he hadn’t even bothered to take off his underpants. That little faux pas embarrassed him for a second, but then he was fading again.

 

***

Thursday,

 

Half a city away, Yvonne Craig was on her hands and knees in her rumpled bed getting fucked hard from behind, doggy-style. Her clothes were torn away and Vanden Smith’s cock was buried deep in her pussy.

 

She had her hand shoved down between her legs, her fingers furiously rubbing her clit.

 

“Oh, God, I’m coming…” she moaned, and her body began to quiver.

 

His big, hairy balls slapped against her knuckles while he fucked her, and she cried out, spraying his thighs with her cum while he groped her tits. The bed was already soaked underneath her. She gasped as her orgasm ripped through her body, curling her toes. The wet spot got even larger.

 

He felt so big tonight. Huge. He completely filled her, almost to the point that it was painful when he’d started. Yvonne didn’t remember him to be quite this…vigorous before, either, but right now she was loving every sweaty minute of it.

 

“Ooooh, yeah! Fuck me, baby…c’mon…!”

 

But Vanden stopped screwing her. He pulled out of her and crawled off the bed, then rooted around on the floor for a second. When he found what he was looking for he stood back up, then flipped her over onto her back.

 

He had her stockings in one hand, and he was grinning happily.

 

“Okay,” She nodded.

 

He used her knees to lever her legs open and crawled back onto the bed, then squirmed closer to her pussy. Yvonne scooted backwards so her head was propped up on the pillows. She gripped his pulsing cock in her sweaty hand and guided him back inside her.

 

He shoved in with a grunt of satisfaction. She grabbed him by the ass and gave him a good, hard squeeze, digging her fingernails into his butt-cheeks.

 

She looked up into his eyes. He was grinning at her, sweat dripping down his face…

 

He is bigger, she thought as he leaned over her, the stockings clutched in his fist. How could that happen? One of those pump things, maybe?

She let him pin her arms over her head, and he roughly tied her wrists to the headboard. Vanden kissed her hard on the lips. Yvonne felt him give her tits another tweak, and then his hands were moving up her body, closing around her neck.

 

She moaned, arching her back with excitement.

 

Then he started to squeeze.

 

At first, it didn’t hurt. Yvonne just felt a thrill, felt that much more aroused, and she tried to smile up at him, to let him know she was okay, that she was enjoying it. She knew he liked it like this, the feeling of power it gave him.

 

He looks so, so sexy…

 

But then he put his arms and shoulders into it, and the thrill disappeared.

 

The muscles in his arms bulged, and something in her neck popped loudly. Yvonne kicked and bucked. She thrashed under him, using all of her strength, but he wouldn’t let go. She was tied too tight, and he had all the leverage.

 

He squeezed and squeezed, grinning down at her, his sweat dripping onto her face, pooling on her chest. She couldn’t get air, and his cock was hurting her now. It felt like it was swelling, getting even bigger inside her, like it was going to split her apart

 

Yvonne tried to scream, but could only manage a feeble squeak.

 

As her world went black, his fingers pressed even tighter, and the sweet, soulful brown eyes she’d loved so much changed and began to glow with a strange light of their own.

Friday,

 

Rob woke up to fresh air blowing through an open window and the chirping of birds. He snuggled deeper into his tangled sheets, but then there was something else, a sound that took him a minute to recognize.

 

            Someone was humming, singing quietly in a soft, pretty voice.

 

            Rob tried to roll over as quietly as he could, but she saw him. He stared, open-mouthed, as Sarah stepped out of the shower and used one of his towels to dry off. Puffs of steam rolled out of the open bathroom door.

 

            “’Morning, Sleepyhead.”

 

            He blinked. Once. Twice. She didn’t go away, didn’t disappear in a poof of smoke.

 

            “Um...‘morning?”

 

            She grinned and turned back to the mirror, rubbed at the condensation with the palm of her hand.

 

            “You sleep like a rock.”

 

“Um.” Rob croaked again. He stared in disbelief.

 

Her back was covered with tattoos, from her shoulders down to her ass. She wrapped her wet hair up in the towel, smiled at him through the mirror and squirted some of his toothpaste onto his toothbrush, started scrubbing. She spit and rinsed, then patted her lips with a towel hanging on the wall rack next to the mirror.

 

            “So, are you gonna get up today?”

 

            She turned on her heel and marched back into the bedroom, plopped down on the bed next to him and began rummaging through a pile of clothes.

 

            “Uh, well, yeah. I guess so.”

 

            “Cool. Hey – why don’t you have any furniture? I don’t mean to be snoopy, but I got hungry and had a bowl of cereal. There wasn’t anywhere to sit. Except on the box thing in your living room.”

 

            “I just bought the house. I work…er, worked a lot, so I usually ate at the office. The house was an investment. Furniture just didn’t seem like a big deal.”

 

            “Oh. Like, a place to crash when you’re not at work, right?” Rob nodded. “Don’t you have a girlfriend?”

 

            Rob laughed. It came out sounding more like a burp.

 

            “That’s what I thought. No way you could live like this if you weren’t single. You should at least get a bigger bed.”

           

            She found a clean pair of panties, a tiny blue pair about the size of Rob’s pinkie, and slipped them on, raising her legs and then lying back on the bed to pull them over her butt.

 

            “You kinda messed up the stuff in my pack. Didn’t your mom ever teach you it’s not nice to go through other people’s things?”

 

            “I, well…sorry. I…”

 

            She rolled over and scooted next to him, straddled his hips.

 

            “S’okay. Wow, hey, look at you, big boy…ready to take on the day, huh?” She poked his cock with her finger, then wiggled on top of him. “Like these panties? They’re crotchless. I bought them just for you.”

 

            “R-really?” Suddenly Rob wasn’t paying attention to her underpants, exactly.

 

            “Yeah, like a present – oh, whoops, not in there!” She wiggled a little more. “I get a special pair for every guy I know. So it’s special.”

 

            “Uh, right. That’s very…special.”

 

Rob thought his dick was going to explode. Sarah braced her hands on his chest and raised her ass, just enough to catch the head of his dick in her pussy, then settled back down, swiveling her hips until he was buried in her. She unwrapped the towel and tossed it on the floor, then snuggled next to him, her wet hair sticking to her face.

 

“Who…who are you?” Rob managed.

 

She smiled. “Don’t you remember? I was your waitress? At the bar? A couple nights ago? You were there with your friend, that really sexy guy with the intense eyes? Nice to see I made an impression. I’m Sarah. Didn’t you get the note?”

 

“I remember you. But…I was a little drunk, I think.” Rob remembered the paper, pinned to her blouse. “I got the note, or a note. It was pinned to your shirt.”

 

“Mm-hmm.” She nuzzled his cheek with her nose, started rocking her hips back and forth. “I thought it would explain stuff.”

 

“Yeah, I, guess. B-but, who…I mean, why…are you here…?”

 

She gave him an odd look.

 

“Hey, are you okay with this? I mean, if you’re worried I might get pregnant, don’t be. The pill is my friend, you know?”

 

“No, it’s not that. It’s just…”

 

“Like, what? I don’t use anymore, and I only let Tony do my Tat’s, so I know his needles are clean, and I get tested once every…”

 

“No, no, no…It’s…”

 

“What, d’you have something? Oh, shit! He said you were a virg…”

 

Rob scowled. “No, no. I don’t have any diseases…”

 

“Wait a minute. I get it. You’re afraid I’ve got a jealous boyfriend, huh?”

 

Oh, shit, Rob thought. This  is so fucked up.

 

“Well…I…”

 

“Look, I know Russ was a freak, but he never really hurt anybody. Kenny’s a little fucked up, but he doesn’t get out for another six months. So that’s cool.”

 

“Six…months?” Rob’s penis wasn’t quite so happy anymore. He felt it waver inside her, getting ready to run for cover.

 

 “Mm-hm. And don’t worry about Tony. I can handle him. He’s just a pussycat, you know? He just wants me to be happy, and all that.”

 

“Oh, well. That’s not it either, see…”

 

Rob tried to pull himself together. Not easy. He scooted backwards until he was propped up on the pillows. She followed him every inch of the way.

 

“I…I thought you were dead. I mean, you were in the coffin thing, and…and then you wouldn’t wake up, and…now…this.” He waved his hands, at her and the bed, as if that would explain everything. “I don’t understand what’s going on.”

 

“You mean, you don’t know? He said you’d like it.”

 

“He said what?”

 

“That night at the bar? You guys left, and then your friend came back about an hour later. He told me what happened to you, you poor guy.”

 

She gave him a tender kiss on the tip of his nose and wiggled her butt. Rob was having trouble concentrating.

 

“Anyway, he told me all about you, how you wanted to talk to me and all that, that you guys thought up this whole, y’know, scenario. But you were too shy, so he asked me if I wanted to meet you. He was very sweet.” She patted his chest. “And I thought you were cute.”

 

“So…so you let yourself get locked in…in a box? By some guy you don’t know, because you thought I was…cute?”

 

“Yeah. Well. You know. Sure. You guys are really fucking kinky.”

 

For some people, that’s simply a turn on. Do you realize how many women fantasize about being attacked?

 

“Kinky.” Rob repeated. “You liked that?”

 

“Oh, yeah. The whole idea really turned me on. Like last night, when you thought I was still fucked up? I thought I was going to die waiting for you to make a move. But, wow. I haven’t cum like that in a long time.” She sighed wistfully. “Why are you looking at me like that?”

 

“Because, because you could’ve gotten killed! Or...”

 

“Psh. I know girls who do stuff lots weirder than this for a date.”

 

“You can’t be serious.”

 

“Oh, yeah. Hey, you ever go to S&M shows? Wild.”

 

Unbelievable. This doesn’t even faze her.

 “Do you even know what he gave you? I couldn’t wake you up. I didn’t know if I should call the police, or…”

 

“Yeah, well, no. It’s funny, but I can’t remember too much. After your friend and I talked, I mean. I don’t know what he gave me. I mean, I don’t remember him actually giving me anything. Maybe he slipped something into my drink. I guess whatever it was sure knocked me out. I don’t remember anything after that until I woke up here in your bed.” She smiled and touched a finger to his lips. “Look, I’ve need to leave for class pretty soon, and I have to work late tonight, so lets have a little fun before I go, ‘kay?”

 

“Really? I mean, you want to stay?

 

“Well, yeah.” She grabbed his hands and placed them on her breasts. She made him rub her nipples until they were hard little knots. “I can come back before work too, if you want to get some dinner tonight.”

 

“Dinner…sounds good…”

 

She smiled again, and smothered Rob with little kisses. He liked the way her body felt, how her nipple rings tickled his chest when she leaned over. He still didn’t get it, but all his questions about the night before suddenly didn’t seem to matter too much.

 

“I packed enough stuff for a week, if you want me to stay. Your friend thought you might want some company for a while.”

 

“Oh. Okay.” Rob wasn’t sure what he was supposed to say next. “So, what class…”

 

“I’m a psychology major. I want to get into people’s heads.”

 

“Oh.”

 

“Now, quiet, okay?” She kissed him, and Rob closed his eyes again.

 

            “Whew.” She tickled him. “You should brush your teeth.”

 

            Rob actually laughed.

 

            And then somebody started pounding on the front door.

 

***

 

Friday,

 

            “Well, holy shit,” exclaimed the delivery guy, peeking through the half-open door. His eyes went wide when he saw Sarah. Rob had tried to get her to put something on, but she just jumped up on his back and made him carry her into the living room.

 

“Look at you! That yer girlfriend?”

 

            Rob grimaced and stood there dumbly, hunched over with Sarah still clinging, naked, to his back. He was holding together a bathrobe with one hand and trying to keep her from yanking it open with the other. Rob raised his eyebrows. “Did you forget something?”

 

            “Huh? Oh, no. Nope. I got another delivery for ya. Same thing as last time.”

 

***

 

            Sarah and the delivery guy both wanted to stay and watch Rob open the new crate. Rob forced the guy outside and slammed the door, then turned back to Sarah. His blood was racing.

 

He had an idea who might be in the new crate.

 

“Oh, come on. Let me see!” Sarah was walking around the crate, knocking on the rough pine slats. “Please?”

 

Rob shook his head.

 

“I don’t think so.”

 

“It’s another girl, huh?”

 

“I don’t know.”

 

“We gonna have a three-some tonight?”

 

Rob sighed.

 

“I don’t know.”

 

She stamped her little foot in frustration. “C’mon. Please?”

 

“Look, you…go on to class, okay? I think I should be alone to open this up.”

 

“You could take me to school.”

 

“Sure! I… No I can’t. My car isn’t here. I could call you a cab though…”

 

“Forget it. Is there a bus stop around?”

 

“Yeah, just down the street. That way.”

 

“I could just stay and help you with…”

 

“No way.” Suddenly Rob felt like he was talking to a naked, tattooed child. “Go to school.”

 

Sarah pouted, but stomped back into the bedroom.

 

Rob followed her and watched her get dressed. She pulled on a pair of worn, faded jeans, and then wiggled, bra-less, into a t-shirt that was cut off at the waist, high enough to show off her belly button. She stepped into a pair of tall, black pumps and tossed an old, straw cowboy hat on her head.

 

Sarah turned in a semi-circle, posing for him. Rob thought that she almost looked even sexier dressed. Her clothes clung to every curve, accentuated the slope of her hips, the swell of her breasts. He could just make out her nipple-rings under the thin t-shirt.

 

“Well? How do I look?”

 

“Um.” Rob swallowed. “Fantastic. Just like a psychiatrist…er, psychologist. Whatever. I’d pay to lie on your couch so you could…uh, get in my head.”

 

“You’re sweet.”

 

She kissed his cheek, and he followed her back into the living room.

 

“This is for you, because you’re so cute…”

 

She opened the door and kissed him again passionately, pressing her body tightly against him. Rob noticed the delivery driver sitting in the cab of his truck, staring with his mouth open.

 

Sarah broke her clinch and punched him hard on the shoulder.

 

“…And that’s for being an asshole. You’d better show me what’s in there when I get back.”

 

With that, she bounced off the steps. Rob grinned, watching her hips sway as she strutted down the street. When she disappeared around a corner, the delivery guy gave him a big, double thumbs up.

 

Rob shut the door and went looking for his hammer.

 

***

 

Friday,

 

            A little elbow grease, and then more pine boards littered Rob’s living room.

 

            Rob’s stomach was doing flip-flops again. He was sweating, and he held another envelope in his hand. It had been resting on top of the new coffin, which was lying smack-dab in the middle of his living room, right next to the first one.

 

            A deep voice was burning in his ears, one he thought he’d never hear again, whispering…

 

            What is it you want, Rob?

 

            He ripped the envelope open, and sliced another gash along the side his thumb. In a daze, he pulled out the familiar parchment. The blood smeared the paper, and the words slowly began to appear…

 

            Rob read the note and dropped the paper. There was a small burst of flame. He tossed it into the fireplace and watched it burn out. Rob took a step forward. The room spun around him as he stumbled to the coffin.

 

He found the lock easily. He pressed his bloody thumb into the warm, smooth indentation…

 

            The latch clicked open, and Rob closed his eyes.

 

            He raised the lid, his own words ringing in his ears.

 

            I wish they were dead…

 

Rob opened his eyes, and stared down at the pale body nestled into the soft satin lining. He looked at the dark hair, her brown eyes, wide open with surprise, staring at some point off into the distance. He saw the torn silk stockings, still wrapped tightly around her wrists, the other marks on her naked body...

 

Rob touched the cold, bruised flesh around her slim neck, and he began to weep.

 

He knew this one wouldn’t wake up.

 

And then someone was pounding loudly on his front door.

 

***

 

            “Robert Wiltsey?” The voice shouted from behind Rob’s front door. “This is the police. Detective’s Paul and Ronsky. We’d like to ask you a few questions.”

 

            Oh.

No.

The pounding continued.

 

“Mr. Wiltsey? We know you’re in there. We spoke with the somebody who just made a delivery to you. Open up, so we can talk.”

 

Rob stood up, swaying on unsteady legs.

 

“What? Why?” he gasped.

 

There was a pause. Rob could hear voices, whispering.

 

“We know you were at the airport this morning. You dropped your ID in the bathroom.”

 

Rob stared at the coffin again. What were they talking about, the airport? He’d never left the house!

 

            “We have everything on tape, Mr. Wiltsey. Eye witnesses placing you at the scene. Why don’t you make this easy on yourself and just open the door.”

 

            “But…but…I don’t know what you’re talking about!”

 

“Last chance! Open the door! Now!”

 

Rob glanced at the door, then at the body in the coffin. Tears streamed down his face.

 

“No! I…I can’t! I can’t…”

 

Outside, detectives Paul and Ronsky nodded to each other and pulled their weapons, took position. Behind them, neighbors were gathering around the truck still parked in the street, curious and gossiping.

 

Paul nodded again, and Ronsky kicked in the door.

 

            Rob fell over the coffin as the detectives swarmed into his house.

 

            Two pistols were leveled at him. He heard another crash as his back door was smashed in, heavy footfalls running through the house. Men shouting.

 

            “Robert Wiltsey? You’re under arrest for the murder of Vanden Smith! You have the right to…Holy shit!”

 

***

 

            Jack pulled up in Rob’s Lexus as the detectives were dragging Rob out of the house, his arms handcuffed behind his back.

 

Rob saw him and started screaming.

 

“Jack! Jack! Tell them I didn’t do it! Tell them! You know me! He knows me! Just talk to him…”

 

Detective Ronsky shoved Rob brutally into an unmarked police car. Detective Paul casually sauntered over to where Jack was standing, thunderstruck.

 

            “You know this guy?” Detective Paul jerked his thumb over his shoulder, pointing at the police car.

 

            “Yeah. I work with him. Or…I did, I mean.”

 

            “You work for Vanden Smith?”

 

            “Yeah. I’m an attorney.”

 

            “He’s gonna need a good one.” Paul fished a notebook and a pen out of a pocket. “What’s your name.”

 

            “Jack…Jack Swanson.” Jack shook his head. “What’s going on?”

 

            The detective studied Jack for a moment, wondering how much to tell him to get him talking. Then he puckered his lips and sighed. If this guy had watched television at all that morning, he’d already know about the murder, and the two missing women.

 

            “We understand Mr. Wiltsey was let go a few days ago.”

 

            “Yeah, yeah. There was a meeting…and Rob thought he was going to get a promotion, but Vanden gave it to someone else, and…”

 

            “He promoted Yvonne Craig instead of this guy?”

 

            “Yeah,” Jack nodded. “and then they fired him.”

 

            “He was seen at a company party a few days ago. The restaurant manager filed a complaint, said that he was causing a disturbance.”

 

            Jack looked at his feet. “Yeah, he showed up at a party a little drunk. I guess he said some things he shouldn’t have…”

 

            “Like what?”

 

            Jack scratched his nose.

 

            “You should probably tell me.”

 

            “He said he was gonna kill them.”

 

            Paul stared at him. Jack flashed a grin.

 

            “No. You don’t thing Rob really…”

 

            Detective Paul glanced over at the police car, the man screaming in the backseat.

 

            “Maybe you should come down to the station and give a statement.”

            Jack leaned on the side of the Lexus and watched along with the rest of the neighbors as the police car pulled a u-turn and accelerated down the road. He watched Rob’s terrified face until the car turned a corner and was gone.

 

            That’s when he saw the girl, slowly walking up the sidewalk. She held a beat up old cowboy hat clamped down on her head with one hand, and her eyes were wide open with shock. She stopped on the sidewalk right in front of Jack.

 

Officers had cordoned off the street in front of Rob’s house. No one except the police could get close. The girl looked at all the cops bustling around, shook her head.

 

“Hey.” Jack piped up. “Anything wrong?”

 

She noticed him for the first time. “What happened? Why are all the cops here?”

 

Jack shrugged. “They think Rob killed somebody.”

 

“What? No…no way.”

 

 “That’s what the news is saying too.” He shrugged again. “ Killed his old boss and some chick too. Fit of anger kinda thing.”

 

Jack pushed off the car and stood next to the girl. She was still staring up at the house.

 

“Wow.” She whispered.

 

“Yeah,” he agreed. “Crazy, huh?”

 

“I’ve gotta get in there.”

 

“What? Why?”

 

“I…knew him. I’ve got stuff in there.”

 

“No way they’re gonna let you inside. I think they’d probably haul anybody that tries away. You know, for questioning.”

 

“Shit. Really?”

 

“Probably.” He glanced down at her, smiled. “Hey, I’m Jack.”

 

She looked up at him. Finally. Into his eyes.

 

“Jack…I’m Sarah.”

 

“You really knew him, huh? You his girlfriend?”

 

“Oh, no. I mean, we just met a few days ago…”

 

“Huh.”

 

Sarah stared, transfixed. The guy had the weirdest eyes. It was like they burned right into her soul. She couldn’t seem to look away…

 

“Hey, how about a drink?”

 

“Really?”

 

“Sure.” He smiled. “We can talk all about it.”

 

Jack opened the car door and helped Sarah inside. He shut the door and stepped around to the driver’s side. He took a last look at Rob’s house, and grinned, the flesh of his face melting away, his fiery red eyes burning.

 

“Bye, Rob-meister. Wish you the best. Buddy.”

 

The dark man opened the door and eased into the soft leather seat. A moment later, they were both gone.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

symbiotic sex plant part two

peregrinne on Bizarre Stories

                 But I feel movement outside of me too, from the tough root’s that have replaced my panties. I don’t know what happened to my panties, I guess the plant ate them. Then, out from under my skirt snakes two pencil thin tendrils, spiraling up my lower abdomen, then my belly, then up to my chest. I try to rip them off, but like the rest of the plant the tiny hairs have rooted into my skin. The scientist and his lackeys gasp, then start scribbling notes, the assholes. The tendrils, with strength disproportionate to their size, force their wandering and waving tips upwards, as if looking for something. As the tendrils near my breasts, however, they suddenly break from their spiraling pattern and gently feel me up. The tendrils then savagely lash themselves around each of my breasts, tightening, and the tip of both tendrils swells into another flowing bud. The buds open up, and with powerful suction they both attach themselves to my erect nipples. I shout out as another orgasm causes me to spray my wetness all over the “panties” the plant has made for me, though it is all quickly absorbed. Despite my need to recuperate, the plant continues teasing me. Then, the sucking buds attached to my breasts bite me, as if along the outside of the little sucking mouth were rows of sharp teeth, but upon examination I see that they’re actually tiny roots digging into the skin right outside of my nipples. I feel the roots branch out a little into my breasts to more surely anchor them, but they barely go skin deep. The heat in my pussy is immense, and my mound has swollen embarrassingly. I can feel my juices flowing freely, but the plant of course eats it all up.

                Then I notice my breasts swelling slightly. I probably wouldn’t have noticed were it not for my heightened arousal. As the plant continues sucking on my breasts with heavy pulses, I feel a little milk start to leak from me. My breasts continue swelling, and the amount of milk leaking from me becomes thicker and stronger with each pull from the plant. Meanwhile, the tendrils in my ass and pussy continue to move, and as I cry and moan and grunt I come to the realization that the vines have resumed growing inside of me. More tendrils now shoot down my legs, and several others up my torso as well. The vines from the plant are covering my body now, wrapping themselves down my legs and up to my chest, spreading out to my arms and up my neck, though leaving nothing to the imagination, especially when they start eating all the rest of my cloths. These vines seem more flexible, and even so the roots that form my panties seem to soften and limber up. Little heart shaped leaves start sprouting all over my body from the wirey vines.

                “Interesting, it seems to be adapting,” comments the doctor. I cry out as the plant tweaks my clit hard, and starts kneading my breasts, forcing out more milk. As I’m writhing there on the ground, I’m aware of several flowers budding then opening up all over me, and these actually look like real flowers. I’m being forced to cum again even as my breasts continue to swell when all of these bright-violet flowers seem to pucker, then spit something at the doctor and his lackeys. I realize with a start that they’re small, black seeds, and that several of them go down the two lackeys’ open mouths. Dr. Animal takes that as his cue to leave and takes one small step backwards before the doors slam shut. Immediately the two lackey’s freak and turn to the door, but their access cards no longer work. When the plant spit seeds into the doctor’s mouth it probably put the room on lockdown.

                The men don’t have much time to shout though, as the plants seem to be growing inside of them. They start trying to make themselves throw up, but my guess would be that the seeds have already taken root. The nearest one takes off his white operating gown to reveal a bulging, wriggling, stomach and tendrils of the plant are obviously already forcing themselves through his digestive track. His belly seems to be alive with a long, thick snake making it’s way through his digestive track, wriggling all over his belly. At first, the plant seems to know not to test out the esophagi (plural of esophagus) of the doctors, since that would surely suffocate them, but I’m suddenly shocked to see another tendril start to snake out of their mouths. The doctor’s are actually throwing up now, but they only accomplish dry heaves, since the plant probably absorbed all their food already. At the same moment a much thicker vine erupts from their asses almost explosively, though their pants maintain their integrity. I can’t help but smile at their choked screams.

                Their shouts quiet quickly though, as the vines in their mouths thicken rapidly, expanding their throats and cutting off their air, but quickly they start breathing again as two rows of six small holes appear in the same tentacle, some of them venting air and others drawing it in. The tentacle in their mouths  reaches for the sky and branch’s out, big heart shaped leafs sprouting all over it.

                The vine in their ass splits into two branches, one drilling straight through their pants and into the ground in search of dirt and the other branch curves up between their legs, and judging by the doctors reactions, the nature  of the plant, and the bulge in the pants, the second  half attaches itself to their penis’s.
