Chapter 9: Meeting Maggie ======================= And strangely enough it was my geekyness that saved her. I'm a geek, a fact I freely admit that to anyone who would want to listen. I'm the guy who actually buys things from the gadget catalogues you find on airplanes. Lot's of things that I own have computers in them even ones that don't really need them. It's hardly surprising then that when I came to build a dream house it was a "smart building". I could talk at length about optical packet busses and redundant control but is enough to say that one machine is dedicated to the security aspects of keeping a slave. Suicide was one unpleasantness that I'd been forced to consider. Some people don't react well to being locked up. Taking their own life is sometimes preferable and any prison warder can tell of ingenious suicides even when the inmate was being closely watched. When Caroline collapsed she had enough slack chain to fall perhaps 3 feet before it became taught. At the very least that could hurt as the collar pulled tight, at worst she could break her neck. The moment the mounting point came under load a strain gauge registered the sudden impulse and this was sent to the computer. Now the computer understands the difference between static and impulse loading, it will let much more than Caroline's weight be applied to the chain but not suddenly. In the instant she fell at a speed far faster that any human could react the machine determined she was in danger and fired an explosive bolt severing the mounting at the ceiling. She lay on the floor winded and too surprised to do anything as the chain landed on her. When my heart started beating again I reached down and helped her up. With a strength I didn't know I had I lifted her as if she was a rag doll. "What the fuck is the matter with you!" I almost screamed, "Are you trying to kill yourself." "You...you said...." "What the fuck does that mater!!" I shook her. For the first time I came within a heartbeat of hitting her. She started to cry. "About the baby being a GIRL." She said as if the answer was somehow self evident. I put her on the table, my anger started to subside. In the background part of my mind continued to analyze what I'd discovered. The conclusion was that I'd kidnapped a mad woman. It wasn't good but it did calm me down. "A joke," I said, "That's all. If I'd realized there was lemming blood in your family I'd have been more careful." "So it's a joke?" "We need to discuss this, " I said, "But not now." I pushed her back against the table and locked the chain to one of the tables mountings. I wanted her secure before I proceeded any further. "Now take the gloves off." As she started to comply I went over to the cupboard and started to root around inside. She was finished by the time I returned. She eyed the new contraptions with some dread, she couldn't tell how upset I was and she didn't know if this was some new torture device. It took the treat of the crop to get her to place her hands behind her back and hold steady while I pulled the single sleeve up her arms. When it reached the top I buckled the top strap and replaced her collar with the posture collar already attached to the sleeve. Next came five minutes of tightening numerous straps. When I finished I stepped back to admire my handiwork. Houdini once said that straight jackets were easy to overcome once you realized that they were designed to hold crazy people. This creation from a fetish supplier in England made no such mistakes, made from black leather with buckles everywhere it left no room for escape. She was still struggling with it when I went to phase 2. First, I again placed her hair in a ponytail. Then I reached for a nest of straps on the table. She didn't know what most of it was for but she could guess were the rubber ball was going. "Please?" "Open!" I commanded in no mood to be messed around. She hesitated but not for long and I pushed the large rubber ball firmly into her mouth. For some reason they call this a ball gag trainer, despite the fact that it is considerably better designed than a ball gag. As well as the usual ball and strap there is a harness that attaches to the strap then runs either side of the victims nose to buckle at the back of the head. A second strap passes under the chin to force the jaw tightly closed around the ball. It is very effective and has the added advantage that once locked in place it can't be worked free even if the victim has the use of her hands. Yesterdays fiasco would not happen again. Once everything was strapped and locked I decided to keep her entertained and distracted. I showed her what I had in mind, a vibrator and harness just as inescapable as the rest of the bondage. It had an added twist, a block of tiny rubber fingers that fastened over the clit and which the designers claimed increased the stimulation without improving the chances of achieving orgasm. This seemed like a good time to test it . There was a bit of a struggle getting it locked in place but when it was finished the harness looked just like a tight pair of latex panties. The only exception was the speed control knob which jutted out between her legs. Reaching down I set her to simmer, and listened to the small moans that escaped from behind the gag. The head harness had a number of additional components which I'd put in my pocket I quickly retrieved the blindfold section and fastened it over her eyes using the snap fasteners provided. She just stood and shivered as I completed my preparations. She didn't resist as I fastened a pair of leg irons to her booted ankles. I looked down and started to breath again, she'd been made safe. I didn't know what all that was about but I was sure that there was no way she could hurt herself now. I took her back to the cell, she started to whimper and tried to say something. The trainer had been modified so that I didn't need to remove it to get at the ball. I gently unlocked a small padlock, undid a couple of buckles and popped the ball free. "Please," She said, "I'm sorry I didn't mean....." "You have one minute to furnish an explanation, or you are on punishment Slave." "Please, I can't." "Who are you?" I demanded. "A sss...ss..slave Master." "What do slaves do?" "Give pleasure to my Master and all others he designates." Which was true but not what I wanted her to say. "What is rule number one." "Obey first time, every time." "And if a slave doesn't." Her lip trembled, "She is punished." "So I'm giving you a direct order, I want you to tell me what this is about right now!" She paused, even with her eyes and most of her face covered I could see a conflict underway. At last she said, "It was what you said about a baby girl." I smiled, though of course she couldn't see it. "What of it Slave," I said, "As Master that is my right!" It was the wrong thing to say. She started crying again. I tried to get though but is was no good. In the end I attached the wire and left her sobbing on the bed. I now knew absolutely that there was something wrong. Her reactions hadn't been right from the beginning. Her sudden mood swings, her lack of backbone and now this. I had a number of theories most of which revolved around major mental illness. One thing was certain I was going to need expert help. I made two calls. First I called Vicky at work. I explained that a last minute personal problem had come up and that I'd have to postpone things for a week. She seemed disappointed until I offered to pay her for the cancelled session and take her to lunch to discuss future plans. Next I called an old college friend, much to my relief she had most of the afternoon off so I arranged to meet her at a bar we both knew. I made my preparations, gave Caroline a drink and helped her to the toilet. She was silent though out and I said as little as possible. Then satisfied that she would be all right for the next few hours I left. Vicky worked as a Dental Hygienist in a section of town that didn't have many good restaurants. I'd arranged to meet her outside the front of her building then go to a little bistro I knew. As she walked towards the car I knew I'd made a good choice. She was almost exactly Caroline's height and build. Instead of Caroline's mane of golden blond hair she had a short mousy bob and they didn't look much alike in the face, but all in all I was satisfied. Any of the outfits I had bought should fit with little difficulty and most importantly in a blond wig and wearing Caroline's clothes they would be indistinguishable in long shot. Once we were at the restaurant I showed her my portfolio, shot's I'd taken with Andy Pearson using some of his models. I had a few photo's taken in Paris last year; Sam, Jean Paul and me, the two of us chatting with Claudia. I'm not usually a name dropper but this was the girl's first modeling job and I felt the need to convince her that I wasn't some random freak. I paid her and apologized again then we ordered. She had a pleasing if somewhat dull personality and tended to limit conversations to subjects she felt comfortable with. For the first part of the meal the subject of teeth made up a large part of the discussion. Then I lucked out and discovered she had a liking for motorcycles. This was more up my alley and the second half of the meal was more entertaining. I said my good-byes, promised to call and headed for Boston. Mike's is one of the hidden gems of Boston night life. Those who know it call it the real "Cheers" a quiet unassuming Irish American bar with a loyal clientele which doesn't feel the need to advertise or cash in on the tourist trade. The regulars keep it their little secret and to be accepted there feels as much a privilege as being a member of some exclusive gentlemen's club. Mike's draws most of it's regulars from the academic staff of the local universities. No one knows how that came about but I suspect that it is far enough away from any of the colleges to be outside undergraduate stagger range. This allows the professors chance to meet, talk and drink without the risk of student interruption. I arrived early and bought the first round planting myself in my usual booth and waited. A number of regulars passed and a few stopped to chat and the business of Mike's flowed around me. I was part way through the Globe crossword when a damp figure noisily shook her umbrella next to me. I glanced up, "Hello Maggie, is it raining?" "No," She said, "I just like carrying wet umbrellas about. For a supposedly intelligent man Richard Cody you do say some of the most stupid things." She pointed at the pint of Guinness on the table, "Is that mine?" When I nodded she drank it at a surprising speed. The waitress had already seen that coming and was heading in for the next round. "Same again?" I asked. "Hell no. If you asked me to drop everything and head on over it means you've got yourself a problem and that being the case I'm on a professional rate." She smiled at the waitress. Tell George I'll have a brandy and ginger ale, and I want VSOP non of that cheap rubbish. Mr. Cody here tells me he's a paper millionaire lets see if we can't make him spend some of it shall we." I'd met Margaret O'Hanks during my postgraduate research. She was a short slim redhead with wonderful green eyes and a pushy personality. I can't remember exactly how we met but I think our attraction was based on common need; I needed a friend and she needed a TV set. I could virtually guarantee that three minutes before the start of "Saturday Night Live" there would be a knock at the door and she would just walk in sit down and watch it as if she owned the place. She had also been my first gay friend and we spent many happy hours cruising the bars for chicks. It hadn't done my ego any good that she seemed better at picking up women than I was. For a time we had shared a house forming an unlikely threesome with a tall, willowy, bisexual blonde called Kathy. Three in a bed sessions had been quite common though Maggie and I only ever did it together once which had been enough to persuade her that penile sex was over rated. She was a keen if sometimes viscous practical joker, and being her friend was no protection. Some of her exploits had become legends yet surprisingly she had been asked to stay on after graduation and had been there ever since. She was now a well respected researcher in experimental clinical psychology. As always she had guessed right, I needed advice. She hung up her coat and deposited the umbrella in the stand making it back to the booth about the same time the drink did. "Keep an eye this way dear and keep them coming," She said to the waitress who sensing a large tip in the air started to orbit a discrete distance from our table. Maggie took a sip and then looked up and smiled. "So Cody how's the love life, finally got over the Ice Queen." "Her name is Samantha." "I know what her name is," She said sharply. "And I also know that you're well rid of her. Jumped up little bitch. Some women are made too beautiful for their own or anyone else's good." "You're only saying that because she turned you down!" "She was tempted boy! Little miss smarty pants likes the boys all right but she's got an itch in her pants only another woman can scratch." I smiled, this was an old argument one, we'd started almost twenty years ago and it was still going strong. It was Maggie's contention that everyone was bisexual, that screaming heteros and gays were just extremes being 90% plus in one direction or the other. She believed that it was only social taboo that stopped people experimenting and realizing the truth. Of course she was willing to help any girl who wanted to see if this was true, but that she claimed did not invalidate the point. I felt it was time to change the subject. "Talking about itches how's things with you?" A strange mixture of emotions played across her face, "I'm thinking of becoming a nun." "Why?" "Hey, I've been celibate for almost nine months. If I'm going to do without then I may as well get the recognition for it." She spat it out with a bitterness I'd never seen before. "Cheers," She downed the drink and as if by magic the waitress appeared. "Same again." "Look," I said feeling uncomfortable, "If this is a bad time..." "No, look I'm just a little pissed off right now." She gave a deep sigh. "Last Christmas there was a bit of a scandal, girl claimed a professor offered to fix her grades for sex. Now just about everyone knew she was lying, the guy she accused was more interested in this years star quarterback for one thing but the Provost's office sent around a memo about fraternization. Well you know." "And you're taking it seriously?" She scowled again, "It hasn't really stopped anyone. I don't think anyone really trades grades but there are a lot of smart young women attending college these days. If you're getting close to a girl, especially if she's gifted and you want to give her extra help. Well you know." She took another sip, "Current Provost doesn't like me. Oh he'll turn a blind eye while some of this male friends play around but you can bet that if I so much as look at a girl." I nodded. "And it's so unfair," She continued, "I'm interested, she's interested and I know that if I see her some stoolie will blow the whistle so fast I won't even have time to take my pantyhose off." She sat and moped for a while I could tell she was twisted up inside. I started to wish that I'd kept in contact more, but after Sam dumped me I was too preoccupied and the past few months had been full of preparations for the kidnapping. Eventually she looked up and smiled "Anyway what about you." I was tempted to forget about it, but that would leave me with a dysfunctional and potentially suicidal slave. So I let another round come by before I started into my story. I couldn't tell her the complete truth of course, Maggie was ok but I couldn't really start with "There is this girl I kidnapped..." So instead I told her the story I had concocted in the car on the way up. I said that I'd met a girl called Elizabeth at a college party. That we'd been attracted and started dating, I said that she liked bondage sex and rough trade that we had been going steady except that she had these little incidents. I recounted the stories as close to how they happened as possible omitting only the non consensual nature of her imprisonment and the existence of the dungeon. Maggie listened without saying anything but I noticed the occasional flicker of interest most of which coincided with details of the bondage. "You think she's crazy." It was a statement and her green eyes watched intensely. "I think it's a possibility," I said, "If I hadn't made such a bad job of tying off that rope she could have hung herself." "I'd really need to see her, do a full interview." She paused, " Look I have a little practice outside the university she could go there." I shook my head, "If she even suspects that I've spoken to a psychiatrist she'd walk, I'm sure. She's a very private person if she won't tell me, then god knows how she'd react to you." She sipped her drink and in a quiet voice said, "Was she abused as a child." I frowned. "I don't think so. Her father was a minister," I said hoping I hadn't given enough way that could link Caroline with "Elizabeth". "That doesn't mean anything. Nine times out of ten families involved in incest look perfectly respectable from outside. It doesn't even have to be a family member just someone with perceived authority over the child. One thing to me seems telling, the girl has difficulty attaining orgasm except when forced." I scratched my head, I didn't see that but then I wasn't the professional. She glanced out of the window. It had stopped raining and was already quite dark. A young woman was crossing the street dragging her seven or eight year old daughter with her. For a moment I thought of Caroline's imaginary dusty faced daughter. "Look at that child," Maggie said, "Assume that you wanted to have sex with her." I pulled a face. "Look just concentrate on the practicalities. She is smaller and weaker than you, something a lot of pedophiles find particularly attractive. She has no chance of stopping you but when you're done there is a problem; what if she tells. You could bribe her, but that may not work, you could kill her but that's even worse. Threats are much better and the best yet is to suggest to the child that they have done something wrong. You see if you threaten to kill her or her parents that may work, but even a child knows that you can't watch her all the time. Sooner or later they'll feel safe enough to talk. Now what if you tell her that she was responsible, that she was the one that caused it and that if she is found out she will be the one punished? Then she is never safe. The trusted adult that she may otherwise talk to becomes a potential enemy. The rapist and the child share a secret, one which the child believes is her fault. She believes that any adult discovering the truth will punish her." "I still don't see." I said, "Sorry if I seem a little slow but what does this have to do with orgasms." "Ever have performance anxiety Dick?" She smiled when she saw my face. "Men's sexual wiring is fairly straight forward, stimulus, erection ejaculation. Yet despite that a bit of emotional stress and the whole thing shuts down. Women are far more connected emotionally far more susceptible to emotional shutdown. Suppose that little girl grows up, she thinks sex is dirty, evil and her fault. All the stress and trauma get transferred to the act whenever she has sex she associates it with that trauma and she shuts down. Now you perform a highly symbolic mock rape one were she is told that she is nothing, a slave with no choice, no responsibility. Do you see if she is forced she has no responsibility. If you then demand orgasm as part of the ritual not only is part of the opposing stimulus removed you are adding extra incentive through threat of punishment." "Seems somewhat unlikely," I said, "And it doesn't explain the recent incident." "Has she had an abortion?" "Hell I don't know, it's not something that comes up in conversation. She's a bible belter, I doubt she could find a clinic that hadn't been burnt down." "Exactly! To me that clinches it. Suppose he got her pregnant, he knows the baby means discovery so he want's her to get rid of it. She's been told all her life that abortion is evil so she resists. So he threatens her, there is still a lot of stigma associated with being an unmarried mother in some places, she's probably seen what happened to other girls. So he tells her that her life is over if she keeps the baby, tells her about the pointed fingers, the accusing looks." The waitress swung in with yet another round. "I need to see her Richard. If I'm even a little right about what's going on here she needs at least counseling, possibly therapy." "I don't think she's ready for that. What could I do for her, perhaps if I could start the process then she may realize she has a problem." She shook her head, "You know my feelings about amateur psychotherapy. You're likely to do more harm than good. What you need to do is get her to acknowledge the problem then find someone willing to take her case. My offer still stands and you get the added benefit that I can't hit on her if she's a patient." I felt the need to extricate myself from the conversation. "What else are you doing these days, at college." She took the hint, "The physiology of social responsibility. We have the use of an MRI. I'm trying to find what makes Mother Teresa different from Ted Bundy." "Oh," I said starting to wish that I hadn't changed the subject. "What we discovered is quite interesting. Sociopaths tend to be very intelligent, fastidious beyond belief and have real difficulty dealing with people. Bit like you in fact." "Thanks," I said, "Now you must excuse me I haven't killed someone for over an hour." She rolled her eyes, "We also discovered that under an MRI they have certain abnormal characteristics, a general change in brain morphology. The surprising thing is that this abnormality is shared by 10 to 20% of our sample usually the more intelligent ones, yet serial killers represent less than one percent of the general population." "Great," I said, "And I didn't feel secure before." "What it means is that the structure of your brain has less impact on what you do than the conditioning it receives through life. The Manson family for instance. When we ran tests on Charlie we found that he was far gone, but other members even those who committed murder would be considered normal according to the scan. It's almost as if they somehow became an extension of Manson, playing out his madness." I started to get interested. "How is that?" "It's not that uncommon actually, over time people can become totally dependant on one another even to the point where a person is basically just an extension of someone else. They continue to function as individuals but act in concert with another to the point were that persons wants and desires become more important than their own. The so called Stockholm Syndrome is a minor manifestation. I wrote a paper on it last year something you would know if you bothered to look me up now and then." The hint of bitterness had returned and I was confused. We had only ever really been close friends, given her sexual preference that was all that we could have been. Yet she sounded like a neglected lover. "Well I have to go," I said, "Got a trip to Seattle day after tomorrow and I still need to pack." "Wait," She said and I recognized the look of need in her eyes. "Maggie? I didn't think?" "Desperate times," She smiled weakly, "I have an itch. Don't worry I won't hold it against you if the answers no." "But why now?" "What I said, about the child and the guilt. It wasn't entirely from clinical experience." She must have seen my shocked face. "It was my uncle, both my parents worked and he was a postman. After work he used to collect me from school and I'd stay with him until my father came home. I always felt that was why I preferred to do it with women, no bad associations. I can't even masturbate properly." "Oh god!" I said and I was genuinely sorry. She smiled weakly, "Nine months...." "What do you want?" "Do what you do with her," She begged, "I think it can work. It removes the responsibility, the feeling of guilt." "I can't," I said as the dark side of my brain screamed YES. "Please, just this once. I won't blame you either way." I looked into her eyes. "Have you done this before?" She shook her head and my mind went into turmoil. She was almost begging and it would answer some of the fantasies I'd had since college. On the other hand I stood every chance of blowing things with my oldest friend. "If I agree there are a few ground rules. First you must call me Master and yourself This Slut. Second for the next three hours you are mine, you have no right to question any of my decisions. You will obey first time every time. If you don't think you can do that walk away. She looked up. I could tell it was a struggle, if there was anyone I knew with a dominant personality it was her. To go to being a sub was the most dramatic change I could think of. She looked up, "Master, this slut is ready." "Go into the bathroom and remove your panties and hose. Put them in your bag." She blushed but stood and headed for the ladies. I whistled the waitress over and settled the bill. She came out of the toilet so red that several people inquired if she was all right. To look you couldn't tell that she wore no panties but she knew and she walked very carefully again causing comments from the others. I pulled her over, "What are you doing?" "Please I...." "This slut!" I hissed "Please, the..this slut doesn't want them to see....." "They won't if you move normally. You just bought your first punishment, if you don't put your head up and strut out of here like a slave slut should we'll make that two." Then we left, as ordered she took long strides with her head back and when she found that her long skirt still hid everything she started to relax and enjoy things. She'd taken a taxi to get here so we wandered up the rapidly drying streets towards my car. I think she thought we were off to her apartment but I had other plans. The sex shop was not one of my usual haunts, the ones in New York carried a better stock, but I'd made a point of finding it in case I had any special needs. This one had a female cashier which was not as unusual as you might think, sex shops obey the same economic laws as your local deli. The cashier looked up from her paper as we entered but was smart enough not to comment. My principle interest was restraints, I didn't carry any with me in case the car was stopped. However that night I was feeling especially generous so I browsed the female apparel section. The choice wasn't that good mostly cheaply put together PVC and rubber items at over inflated prices. Fortunately Maggie was relatively small and I found a nice leather corselet that had obviously been overlooked. I couldn't find matching gloves and boots but cheap PVC pairs would do for now. I handed her my choice and nodded towards the changing rooms. She blushed and started to open her mouth to say something but catching my eye she stopped and did as she was told. While she was gone I took a pair of handcuffs, a ball gag, a blindfold, a collar, some cuffs and a pair of nipple clamps. I had them put rapidly into a plain bag so that she couldn't see what I'd bought. I glanced back towards the changing room and saw a gloved hand reach out through the curtain and beckon. Smiling I asked the cashier for another bag which I stuffed in my pocket. Pulling aside the curtain I glanced inside. The change was astonishing, it seemed that the leather loved her body, flowing over her torso like fine black paint. Her nipples were already very hard and pushed uncomfortably through the peepholes cut into the cups. Down by her crotch traces of pubic hair showed around the point were the corselet passed between her legs. I also noticed the zipper that passed between her legs allowing easy access without the need to remove the whole thing. All in all I was quite taken with the design and decided to have something similar made for Caroline. The boots and gloves were a bit of a disappointment, but if Maggie took to this look I could always get her a decent set for next Christmas. "Well Master what do you think?" The thrill was starting to get to her and she was more like the fun loving kid I first knew. I scratched my head as if undecided. In truth I'd already paid for everything but I had something in mind. "Don't know," I said, "Why don't you show the cashier?" She looked shocked. "No I couldn't!" "Why not?" I asked, "She doesn't know you and you'll never meet again. Besides if she likes it you may have found someone who will scratch that itch a bit more regularly." Her nipples had hardened some more and I knew it was only a few minutes before her brain did what her body already wanted. "Strut slave, remember you are your Masters slut. Do it with pride." She started to walk towards the cashier slinking along with no difficulty. Maggie had always loved high heels and had quite a few years practice on poor Caroline. There were no accidents, no tottering, she just oozed towards the desk while behind her I pulled out the bag and got busy. She was a big hit with the cashier as I walked towards the counter they were already exchanging numbers. "She likes it," Maggie said with some glee, "Are you going to buy it?" "Already have, " I said and passed over her jacket. Then she realized what was in the other bag. I followed her gaze, "Yep we're wearing it out." Her face was filled with horror. I had given her a short leather jacket, her overcoat, and purse were with the rest of her clothes in the bag. Before she had time to think I picked up the bag of restraints and headed for the door. It took a while for her to catch up I was walking deliberately fast and running in high heeled thigh boots isn't easy even for an expert. "You...You.." I smiled, "I knew you couldn't take it," I said, "So you want to give up." Maggie never gave up. It was her creed, she would never admit that she couldn't cut it. I knew that she was fuming but in the end all she said was, "You are walking too fast Master!" I smiled and slowed down. We'd parked a fair distance away and the walk was quite interesting. She managed to fasten the jacket over her erect nipples but is was obvious from her breathing that they were rubbing on the lining. A faint odor told me that she was now truly damp. At the street corner two working girls stood and touted for custom. Hearing the click of heels on concrete they turned. Maggie was quite a sight, The jacket hid most of the outfit down to the waist but her shiny gloved hands gave some hint of what was underneath. The leather covered crotch was a bit of a give away too as were the vinyl thigh boots. They made the obvious conclusion that Maggie was intruding on their territory. If she had been alone they would probably have taken it from her hide but I was either a customer or her pimp and whore etiquette meant that nothing would happen now. Maggie could sense the hostility and started to fall back. "Hey mister, she with you?" "Yep," I said stopping at the corner to allow her to catch up." "How much she charge you?" The shorter one asked. Maggie was close enough now to hear the conversation. I turned towards her. "A C note wasn't it love?" She was lost for words, the short whore wasn't. "Hang on I know her." Maggie winced, the thought of anyone she knew seeing her like this was unbearable. "Hey Red didn't the doctor tell you not to go out again until the infection cleared up!" The taller one got the idea and ran with it. "That's right Red you have to finish all the tablets." Maggie was too horrified to speak. "I'd leave her alone if I was you, she's got the clap. Now both me and Trudy are clean and we'll even take you at the same rate." I turned to her looking shocked, "Is this true?" I could see she wanted to die. "N.....no please." It was time to put her out of her misery. "Sorry ladies but the police doctor assures me that my partner here is free from all diseases." Now it was their turn to wince. The small one swore. "You lucked out girls, we're not Vice and we're too tired to work out jurisdiction. I turned to Maggie. "If we let them off we can get back sooner. What do you think?" Maggie had pulled herself up to her full height and was smiling, she gave the girls a reasonable imitation of a thousand yard stare. "I should run you in by rights," She said sounding unsure, "But then there's the paperwork." Feeling uncomfortable and afraid Maggie would change her mind they moved on taking the occasional glance back at us until we were out of sight. She felt better when we got in the car. "Can I ask for a time-out here." "What's the matter Slave can't cut it." "I can cut it. All I want is a 2 minute time-out. "Ok," I said,"But we add the two minutes on at the end." "Is this how you treat this Elizabeth girl?" "Nope, it's the way I treat you?" "Why?" "Well for a start there's my twenty first birthday party when you left me naked and handcuffed to that tree. What was it you said, something like if you can't torture your friends who can you torture? " She turned white, "God I forgot all about that." I turned and smiled, "I didn't." "That was different, it was a joke!" "It was snowing." "Not when we started. Do you mean that you've been saving that for all these years" "Revenge is a dish best served cold," I said with the biggest smile I could manage. Then some of the tension broke and she started laughing. "God I feel like I'm eighteen again. Were we nuts or what?" "Still are!" I said, "You only grow old if you want to. End of time-out!" We stopped of at a seven eleven on the way back to buy some general supplies. I felt sure that the cashier should have figured out what I was doing, buying duct tape, clothes line and the like. He didn't seem to think it odd or pass comment, probably relieved I wasn't trying to rob him. I got back to find her rubbing her crotch. "Naughty slave," I said and reached for the restraints bag. I'd already tried the key in the handcuffs and added them to my key ring so all I needed to do was feel for the metal object. I made her lean forward and before she knew what was happening I'd cuffed her hands behind her. The smell of hot cunt still filled the car and she squirmed occasionally looking to get a bit more sensation. We drove to her apartment complex, she didn't have a car but she did have a space in the basement car park. I used her key and headed down. Once there I relented a little and fastened the overcoat about her shoulders. Of course it couldn't do anything about the fuck me heels but it hid most of the outfit and the handcuffs. Her apartment was near to the elevator so I decided to take one last risk. While we waited in the empty car park I went through the bags and collected a few items. "Open wide." "What?" "I'm going to gag you," I said sweetly. A look of horror suddenly spread over her face. "Oh god not here. These are my neighbors!" She saw the look in my eye and opened her mouth. I shoved her panties firmly inside, of course she was no stranger to pussy juice so they probably tasted familiar. I few strips of duct tape later and she was effectively gagged. I was pleased with the result but it was a little obvious. As Maggie was a consensual partner it was not quite as critical as if I was transporting Caroline, if we were caught we would be embarrassed but non of us would go to jail. Still I wanted to give her the thrill with minimal actual risk. So I took a head scarf I'd bought at the convenience store and tied it around her head. I deliberately tied it a little forward so that it concealed the gag from the side. If someone looked her square in the face they could see it easily but I had no intention of giving them that opportunity. The elevator arrived, mercifully empty and we went to the back. There I had her turn towards the side wall allowing the scarf to hide the gag more completely. The elevator went up slowly. I gradually became aware of the smell of hot pussy; for all her protests this was obviously a turn on for her. Maggie lived on the fourth floor and we had both hoped that the lift would stay empty but at the first floor the door opened and a middle aged couple got on. I thought I heard a little gagged squeal and I thought they must have heard it too. Worse the hot pussy smell was very obvious in such a small space. Any second I expected a comment so trying to head it off I went into my planned routine. Of course unlike a real captive Maggie had no intention of drawing attention to herself so she was already facing the wall and looking down at the floor. I stepped between her and the couple and started to continue an imaginary conversation, a long involved discussion on the Boston Tea Party that I'd had to memorize for school. As planned the couple phased us out and we could have been painted pink for all they cared. They got off at the next floor. The one risk now was that there was someone waiting for the elevator on four. Not only was there little chance of us getting off unnoticed but the chances of someone recognizing her were greater. She realized this and rubbed her taped mouth against my arm in a very Caroline gesture. I pulled her forward so that she was near the controls and positioned myself in front of her. Her eye's were wild she made a few gagged noises obviously wishing to be ungagged. "Trust me?" She closed her eyes for a second then nodded. "Good girl." The events were having a great effect on my erection and secret bondage in public had always been one of my fantasies. I imagined the other couple going back to their apartment and continuing there lives never realizing that the girl in the elevator was a prisoner. "Now when the lift stops go between me and the right wall. I will move with you. If there is someone in the corridor turn to face the wall and act upset." It turned out to be unnecessary as four was empty. I played around finding the right key for a while feeling her panic mount. Finally I got her inside. The smell of hot cunt was now overpowering. I took off scarf, overcoat and handcuffs. She reached for the gag but a quick slap on her hand stopped her. "Not yet!" I handed her the shaving supplies I'd bought and pointed at her crotch. "I'm sure you know the routine now loose it. Leave a little for decoration but the rest goes." While she headed for the bathroom I started to prepare the bedroom. I tied a couple of lengths of cord to the legs at the bottom of her bed and waited. She came out with the crotch zip open to show her nude cunt I passed her the cuffs. "Wrists and ankles, now!" She complied and I rewarded her by removing the gag. "Ok Slave, dildos and vibrators, where?" She pointed at the bedside cabinet. There was an impressive collection and I had no trouble finding a nice powerful little friend to keep her company. I made her turn and fastened her cuffed wrists together with a short length of cord. Then I introduced her cunt to the vibrator and pulled the zipper up to lock it in place. Her hips started to quake and while she was distracted I pushed the ball gag into her mouth and fastened it tightly. She complained but there was little she could do. "Dance slave," I said, "Do a good job and I'll release you." She danced, not as well as Caroline but then I doubt she had the same imagination. Towards the end she moved her body against mine her eyes sparkling when she saw the size of my erection. I took her to the bed and used the cords to spread her legs. I chose now to show her the nipple clamps. This she didn't like as much but with her erect nipples still poking through the peepholes she had little protection. I applied the blindfold and felt her body tremble as her helplessness increased. I knew that she wasn't very good at the old skin flute so I didn't bother to ungag her. Instead I removed the vibrator from her damp box. Sam had demanded oral sex and had taken the time to school her various beau's on the correct technique. I know that I probably wasn't going to be as good as some of Maggie's partners, ownership promotes a certain understanding, but the little noises from behind the gag told me that she appreciated it. I teased, deliberately denying her completion, she groaned. A gentle tug on the nipple clamps every now and then kept her interested and when I knew she was ready I stopped. I reached up and removed the nipple clamps. Then momentarily freeing her legs I tied her ankle cuffs to her thighs using large hanks of cord. When I'd finished she was helpless and unable to protect her naked cunt. I smiled "Well Slave time has come to fuck your worthless cunt. It's no good resisting because you're helpless. Struggle slave and see! " She did, it was futile. I'd practiced on Caroline were escape meant prison, Maggie had patiently let me tie her up. "Scream slave. Perhaps the neighbors might hear." This had worried me. Not knowing how thin the walls were I had the roll of tape nearby in case the gag needed supplementing. It didn't, even when I encouraged her to really let rip there was nothing that could attract attention. "Guess not," I said and slowly removed my clothes letting the bound girl shiver in anticipation. I pulled her over and as with Caroline positioned her on top. Her bound legs would mean that I'd have to do most of the trusting and that would make it slow but the feeling of complete helplessness was what we were after and she was. "I'm going to rape you now," I said "I'm going to force you to cum you little whore if you like it or not. And if you don't cum this time perhaps a pussy whipping will persuade you." I felt her tremble. Then I started and as the excitement built I taunted her. Telling her to scream, that it made no difference because the gag kept her silent, that the bonds stopped her struggles. That I had made her helpless and I was in charge and that I decided her pussy should be fucked and that I wanted her to cum for me or she would be punished. Each time I emphasized the *I* hammering the message home that she was helpless that it was my will and my responsibility. I felt the heat rising as those nine long months came bubbling to the surface and heard the gagged screams as she came again and again. Afterwards she made me a light snack and a drink. She seemed quiet, subdued and quite happy. She told me that it had been all that she'd wanted, and the first time she had ever orgasmed with a man. The cashier from the sex shop was apparently a sub in search of a mistress, and Maggie thought that she might give it a try now that she knew the ropes so to speak. She was happy and I felt relieved, the entire event practical jokes and all seemed to have strengthened our friendship. Maggie hinted that she might want to try this again and an evil thought came into my head, after all I'd always liked the idea of two girls in bondage. So with that happy thought I departed back to the house and Caroline. It was nearly midnight when I returned to the house. A quick video check found that she was well and still as tightly bound as I left her. I made two coffees and headed down. She moaned and attempted to move when I entered. Helping her up I removed the blindfold then waited as she greedily downed the coffee. Then she looked at me with those large expression filled blue eyes. I smiled, "Slave, we have got to talk."
