She started awake, screaming, which woke Paul. Thus he was expecting the shock when the cackling Amy turned the hose upon him. But their endurance of the stream was brief; their tormentress clearly meant most of it for the bloody floor. She also washed Harvey's legs and feet. His body swayed from the direct force of the water but otherwise hung passively. The old woman turned off the water and retreated to the control desk, where she pressed a button that played out Paul's chains. When the clanking ceased, she pointed to a pair of scrub brushes that she had left on the edge of the carpet. "Mr. Lanning, would you please be so kind as to get down on your hands and knees, take those brushes and scrub the tile? If you will condescend to do us that slight favor, I'll provide the water to assist you." After a glance at her nearby BB rifle, he of course condescended. Some of Harvey's blood had begun to scab on the tiles; Paul had to admit silently that the scrubbing was necessary. He yelped only once, when having turned his back to Amy, she applied the powerful stream to his testicles and anus. Her laughter sounded above the rushing water. With the blood removed save a few fresh drops from Harvey, she restored the hose to its cubby and standing well away from the maximum play of Paul's chains, raised the rifle. "Mr. Lanning, now will you please throw those brushes gently out here where I can reach them?" He tossed them underhanded to land on the carpet near her. Swish-flack-pow! He flinched but it was Jenny who cried out, "Oh, god, my side!" She writhed, causing a brief rattle of chains. With a quizzical grin Amy returned Paul's stare. "Aren't you going to ask why I shot her this time?" He took a deep breath. "Why did you shoot Jenny this time?" "Because you had to do all the work. It's only fair for her to suffer a bit, too. Besides, what good are women except to hurt?" Paul shook his head, jerking it toward the silently hanging body. "What about him?" "Yes, I could make you take him down from there, but Slim has to haul the carcass away. Might as well let him hang. He won't disturb your nap." She smiled. "Besides, here's an opportunity for you. Ever wonder what it's like to fuck a dead man? I'm told the Turks used to love it." Laughing, she turned, pressed the preset that loosened Jenny's chains equivalently, gathered up the brushes and swept out of the room. The chains were still playing out when she returned long enough to extinguish the lights. * * * "You want a grown up girl, don't you, Barry? You're getting tired of me." Bobbie sat naked on the bed with slender legs folded beneath her. Sonnenschein, likewise naked, gazed out the window. They had just indulged each other for the second time that afternoon. He sighed and frowned internally at the accuracy of her judgment. Indeed his infatuation with her immature beauty was fading rapidly now. He had for the first time enjoyed full access to the body of a young girl willing to execute all the non-painful perversions that he could imagine. He was surprised at his almost instant sense of repletion. At least he was proving not so obsessed as he had feared. Increasingly fearful of the consequences latent to such an illegal, unprofessional and tawdry little affair, he wanted to end it but felt trapped by a sense of obligation toward this child whose apparent innocence still made his heart ache. He turned to her. "You're precious to me, sweetheart, but you know we really don't have a future together." She thought a moment and retorted precociously, "_You_ have a future to worry about, Barry, but I don't. No one cares about me at that prison." "It's a hospital, Bobbie, and I care about you. But it's true that you have fallen into some kind of limbo. You could just disappear and no one would become upset, except they'd have to inform the police. But the cops wouldn't spend any time looking for a runaway girl." "Alice would miss me." "Yes, of course she would, as much as I. But we need to find a safe place for you." "Maybe I should run away," the girl mused. Sonnenschein was aghast at the idea. Bobbie would not get five blocks from the hospital before being captured by a pimp. Feeling desperate for her, he demanded, "Don't you have any friends at all?" "There's Tom," she replied wistfully. "I really like him the best, but he has a girl his own age now." "I'll think of something, Bobbie. I'll find a solution for you, but you must promise not to run away." "I promise, Barry, at least for a while. What I really want is to go home to Jenny and Paul, although I don't know how you can fix that." "Trust me, darling. I'll do what I can." * * * Ruth even went so far as to rent a car and follow him as he left his office in the police station at suppertime, the normal end of his day. She had taken such a drastic step because he had developed an unexplained habit of arriving at her apartment late in the evening. His new consistency generated much anxious speculation in her mind about the nature of his distraction and the long-term effect on their relationship. In fact Ruth, though a woman of unsurpassed self-confidence in matters of strength, endurance and physical skills, possessed no confidence at all in her ability to attract and hold a man. Now this man had come into her life and taken it over. By transporting her regularly to a sexual paradise of overwhelming ecstasy, in comparison to which everything else was drab and pointless, he had made his attention and gratification her sole reason to exist. She could not stand to live without knowing generally where he was at every hour of the day or night, especially each night from six to nine P.M. His responses to her indirect questions about it were evasive. She thought of hiring a detective but squirmed at the idea of explaining her purpose to some stranger who would surely wonder what the handsome police lieutenant could possibly see in her anyway. She resolved to investigate him herself. She had rented a car because he was certain to recognize hers sooner or later. She parked in the lot where he kept his disreputable clunker. Promptly at 6:10 he appeared to trade cars. She followed him from there to ... of all places, a Fastburger restaurant, where she watched the drive-in attendant serve him two large bags of food to go. She shook her head: tonight was not typical, then. John always arrived at her place hungry. But he left the restaurant and drove directly to his warehouse on Harget Street. She saw him take the bags of food into the building. She waited. He emerged empty handed at 8:15 and started out in the direction of his midpoint parking lot. She peeled off, driving directly home. She was waiting for him in the sheer negligee he preferred when he arrived at 8:45. To her surprise he professed a wolf-like hunger. She warmed the full meal she had already prepared and indeed he ate every crumb. She already knew that the electricity, water and gas were turned on at his warehouse, as they had been for 15 years. So how many people did he support there? As his body raised hers to heaven, her last coherent thought was to wonder how many of them were nubile females. * * * "Ms. Griswold said you were prompt in returning Bobbie yesterday." Alice looked intently at Sonnenschein, who lounged against the counter of the nurses' station. "I'm always prompt," he responded absently as he leafed through a chart. "She also said the girl reeked of sex." Sonnenschein put down the chart and glanced nervously at the large black woman. "She refused to take a shower. You know how it is with kids that age." "Barry, just listen to yourself! The reason she smelled is because you fucked her. How many times, Barry? How many times did you fuck that child?" "Is that a rhetorical question or an expression of prurient interest?" he responded rather stiffly. "I know I'm at fault too," she admitted ruefully. "I'm the one who set her up for you." "It didn't require much of a set up, Alice, just a secure place to be alone with her. You can't imagine how eager she is." "I have more than a good idea about that, Dr. Sonnenschein. When I first met the girl and showed her the least bit of sympathy and understanding, she wriggled to me and fondled my breast." "She's insatiable, Alice, and I'm convinced that her need is purely physical. Actually she's very _un_-childlike. She doesn't want any cuddling or loving, just fucking." "How many times does she want it in your typical meeting, Barry? You see I'm indeed interested in the gory details." "Three or four." "That's all? I'm surprised. You look like a guy who could go all night." He stared at her with a whimsical smile. "What in the world gave you that impression?" "Your earnest manner, maybe. Is she a screamer?" "Not really, although she _is_ loud. The noise starts almost from the start and spikes at orgasm." "So, Doctor, you are realizing a life-long perversion, or have you enjoyed a child before?" "No. She is my first and I believe my last. It was really exciting at the beginning, you know, playing with her young body. But I'm getting bored with the entire business. She has no conversation beyond her sexual experiences, which aside from the age differences are incredibly banal. She's just a kid, after all, and a selfish one at that." "May I understand that you've played out all the standard variations with her?" "All the standard perversions, you mean. Oh, yes. I think we did all that the first time she came to my place." "No mystery left, right?" He shook his head. "Who could expect depth in a twelve year old? Without it there can be no mystery." "Then how could she seduce you so easily?" He sighed. "I've thought about that. I think I understand it now. I don't think I'll be so susceptible again. It may be that Bobbie has inoculated me against such weakness, and if so that may cause a profound change in my life. I think I'm a man who needs a woman to idealize. Perhaps 'idolize' is the better word." "What you need, Barry, is a 'real' woman, someone who can light your fire. I know how it is to get tired of playing with dolls." "You've had a girl?" "No." She smiled fondly and looked at a distant wall. "It was a beautiful, coffee colored boy with an enormous cock. He was twelve and I was eighteen." She paused and added, "Have you ever had a boy?" "I've been tempted a couple of times, but no, I never have." She placed her hand atop his. "Do you prefer slight, blonde women, Barry? Have you ever been with someone more, uh, exotic?" He grinned at her. "Like you, maybe?" "Yes, just like me," she retorted testily. "A large black woman with a heavy Negroid face." "You might be disappointed, Alice," he said with a playful tilt of his head. "I'm not all that well endowed. Even Bobbie commented on it." "Don't taunt me, Barry! Can't you see that I've already embarrassed myself?" "You are serious, aren't you?" She glowered at him. "Maybe you do prefer European women." "I like gentle, sincere woman of whatever kind," he responded with slow deliberation, squeezing her hand. "I could mother you, boy. I really could." Her voice was heavy with feeling. "Yes." He stared intently at her large face, suddenly finding it handsome. "Yes, I would like that." * * * "You certainly can't afford this on a resident's salary," Alice remarked a moment after entering Sonnenschein's luxurious apartment. "Your family has money?" He nodded absently and took her coat, which he hung in a closet near the front door. She went into the kitchen to inspect the contents of the refrigerator and the larder. "You appear to be well stocked. We won't have to go shopping," she remarked as she returned to the front room and stood very close before him. She wanted a kiss, but he was not yet ready for such intimacy. "Are my lips too fat, Barry? Are they too foreign for you?" "You're a dear friend, Alice. There's nothing foreign about you," he replied and placed his arms lightly around her waist. She was taller, heavier and stronger than he, he could tell from that slight embrace. "It's awkward, I know, breaking the ice," she murmured softly, kissing his cheek. "Let me take charge at first." Sonnenschein stood dumbly in the center of the living room and allowed the woman to undress him slowly, playfully. "We'll take a shower, baby, and I'll show you what magic these fat lips of mine can work." She stared up at him from her kneeling position, hands on his underpants. "Well," she exclaimed, pulling them down to reveal his erection, "you have nothing to be bashful about. This will suit me just fine." "Not up to your coffee boy's standard, though, is it?" She shook her head. "Doctor, you certainly know how a woman is made." She touched the top of his shaft, at the point where it emerged from the hairy pubic pad. "This is the part of a man that really matters to her, if he knows to time it right. She doesn't need something to stretch her out. Such a big one is more often a distraction than an advantage." "Alice, you are marvelous." His eyes twinkled. "And I know what you mean about the timing." Her comment had put him entirely at ease. He did not feel the least bit embarrassed standing naked in front of her as she took off her own clothes deliberately. She was indeed large, he noted, though not at all fat, despite the softness of her belly. Her limbs were impressive, the thighs seemingly capable of crushing his ribs. Her firm breasts, not quite enormous, had huge, brown areolas and large, rigid nipples. She was a dark Earth goddess, he thought, his excitement rising. "Should we take a shower, darling, or are you too eager?" she asked, startling him from his reverie. "You're absolutely magnificent, Alice!" he gasped. "Thank you, sir. But I think we should bathe, because I can smell myself." "I love your aroma," he objected and took her tightly into his arms to feel her awesome heft. "Perhaps so, but _I_ don't love it!" She broke from his arms and pulled him toward the bathroom. They crowded together in the small shower stall, giggling, competing for the warmth of the spray. "Now I have you, Barry," she exclaimed in triumph. "I've been wanting this since I first saw you at the hospital. Kiss me and then I'll do something special for you." Her mouth overwhelmed his, although he sought to do his part. Then she slowly went to her knees, kissing down his body. He knew what to expect, but he was unprepared for the reality of it. His cock was no match for her large mouth and generous lips that she easily pursed around his shaft. "Oh, Christ!" he exclaimed in physical rapture. Alice seemed to hum as she effortlessly sucked his cock to a quick, knee-buckling climax, her hands on his thighs holding him upright. She stood after a brief moment, grinned a mouth full of semen at him and washed it down with the shower spray in her face. "Now it's time for baby's nap," she cooed, turning off the shower. "And when you're refreshed, you can take charge." Still moist, they went into the bedroom and lay upon the bed. Sonnenschein was indeed tired after his long shift at the hospital and the recent, energy draining orgasm. He quickly fell asleep in Alice's arms, his mouth on the end of a tit. She smiled, holding him against her rich body, and shivered at the beginning of a dream's fulfillment. * * * Bright sun shone through the bedroom window, belying the frigid Winter day outside. Alice lay on her side, her dark brown thigh and hip rising as a hill beside Sonnenschein, who awoke and marveled at the sight. His caressing hand brought the woman awake. She turned to face him. "Hi," she said sweetly, her brown eyes sparkling. He took her into his arms and kissed her chin and large lips with sincere affection. "Are you noisy?" he asked as he sucked on an ear lobe and fondled a massive breast. "I might scare the neighbors, Barry, if you do me right." She squirmed as his hand found her wild pubic bush. "There's no one to hear you at this time of day, sweetheart." His finger touched a hooded clit of amazing size. She gasped, pushing his head lower. "I'm not dainty, not like Bobbie. Do you mind?" He did not answer, but scurried toward the foot of the bed, eager to chew on that incredible clitoris. "I'll sing for you darling," she groaned as he kissed up her thigh and pushed his face into her hairy mound. She emitted a small scream when he took the appendage between his lips and sucked it none too delicately. "Oh, god, oh, my god!" she yelled aloud and squeezed his head with muscular thighs. "Please stop!" she cried, pulling his hair. He slipped between her upraised knees and penetrated her with a single, accurate thrust. His tongue found hers. They kissed, bodies heaving for long minutes. Her sounds became increasingly shrill. He watched in fascination as her face recorded the onset of orgasm. Her eyes clenched shut and her lips curled to reveal pearly teeth. Her head flailed back and forth as something deep inside her began to snap at the end of his member. She screamed and her body went rigid for a few seconds, only to resume their counterpoint to his thrusts with greater urgency. Her second orgasm was almost convulsive, and were he not himself in the midst of one, he would have felt a painful squeezing of her limbs on his smaller body to accompany the thunderous shouts in his ear. "I wish you were a black man," she sighed a few minutes later, after they had recovered some measure of calm. "Then I would have a chance with you." He opened his mouth to speak, but she pressed fingers against his lips. "You don't have to say anything, darling. I know how it is. Actually I'm luckier than most educated women like me, who are too black, too Negroid. My mommy found me a man to marry, even though he's over fifty and smaller than you. He's a dentist, a widower with two grown kids." "You say you feel lucky about that?" Sonnenschein asked in astonishment. "Sure. He's still young enough to give me babies, and he doesn't drink. The only bad thing about it is that I'll have to go to his church." "If that's what you want, sweetheart, I'm happy for you." "Thank you, Dr. Sonnenschein. And if you like we could still meet, you know, until it becomes official. Then I intend to be a good wife." "I'd love to spend the rest of the weekend in bed with you, Alice, but I'm supposed to see Bobbie tomorrow afternoon." "I thought you were bored with that girl!" "Perhaps not entirely bored, but I would like to find a way to get her out of the hospital and into a home." "And for that you need to see her here alone?" "No, not at all. Please stay. Maybe you can help us work something out." * * * Calhoun removed the corpse, leaving his prisoners alone to eat their meals. Somewhere a heavy motor started up. It ran only a short time. When the big man returned, he grinned at them. "I wondered what effect Harvey's demise would have on your appetites, but clearly a sharp hunger is proof against anything. We Americans eat too much, don't we? Someday I must research how we decided to eat three meals a day." When they had been hauled erect and the clanking of chains ceased, Paul took a chance. He asked, "Was that engine we heard for Harvey?" But Calhoun was in a cheerful mood. As he uncoiled the hose, he explained, "It's most gratifying how finely an industrial rock crusher reduces a human body: tendons, bones, teeth, everything. It even has a built-in water spray to clean itself up. Believe me, nothing is left that might clog the sewer. I suppose a forensic DNA examination would reveal Harvey's molecular residue, if anyone had some of his DNA to compare, that is." Jenny noted, "Your mother has some." "Yes." Calhoun frowned thoughtfully, then smiled. "But only we four know that. We won't tell, will we?" The water lashed out and struck Jenny in the mouth. Their baths, enemas and douche seemed almost pro-forma tonight. When Calhoun had restored the hose, he turned, hit a few buttons on the control desk and left the room as their chains were playing out. They waited, but no one reappeared. Soon they slept in each other's arms despite the bright lights. Their next visitor was Amy. She erected them, set two soda cans within reach and reloosened the chains. She departed without saying a word. It seemed to them that a great many hours had passed. Their throats were very dry; the drinks were wonderfully cool, wet and sweet. They tried to savor them. Though thirst was assuaged, hunger was only intensified. "What happened to Calhoun?" groused Paul. "It's been more than a day since he fed us, don't you think?" Jenny chuckled sourly. "And since our last enemas. Do you think we can still defecate without them?" "Huh! I don't think we'll have anything to pass!" After interminable hours Amy appeared again with cans of drinks. This time she tightened their chains and poured the beverage into their mouths herself, careless that it should spill down their bodies. Deciding that she was deliberately trying to strangle Jenny, Paul asked as a distraction, "Has anything happened to Lt. Calhoun?" She turned a baleful eye upon him and snarled, "He's fucking that whore of his nowadays. What's the matter, you getting hungry?" Paul sighed, wondering how thin was the ice upon which he proposed to tread. "Yes, we are. How long has it been?" "Since you ate? Three and a half days ago." "My god! I didn't think it was _that_ long!" She sniffed. "That's how long it's been. He and I had a fight because of Harvey's moldy cock. He's letting me stew for a while. But don't worry. We've had fights before. He'll come crawling back in a week or two." She set Jenny's drink on the tile and stood before Paul, lifting his penis between her thumb and forefinger. "For this thing. He says there's something special about it. Damned if I can see it. Looks like any other tiny little cock to me." Jenny suggested, "You have to make it hard." "I've done that, in case you forgot." "Then you must put it where it's meant to go." "Huh! That spot is reserved." Jenny's eyes narrowed. "Paul's clean, you know. No disease, and you're past menopause, aren't you?" "That's none of your ... You mean he didn't fuck Harvey?" "No, he didn't." She set down both cans, paused at the desk to loosen their chains and left the room. As he savored his drink, Paul asked, "Why are you pimping me for Amy?" Jenny sniffed. "Why indeed! From the way she treats us both she already favors you: she's only shot you twice! If we can get her hooked on you, it may give her a reason to keep you alive." "That's a nice thought, sweetie. Do you propose to test Hannah's idea that I have a 'perfect dick?' You didn't buy that, did you?" "I think it depends on how the cervix lies in any particular woman. But, yes, your deepest thrusts feel good to me, too." "Did you ever tell me that before?" She grinned. "Maybe not in words." He sobered. "My dear, you're the one who seems to be on the short end of the stick." She chuckled sarcastically. "You've noticed! Different from Florida, eh?" "I didn't complain." "You did to Bobbie." "Not really. It's just that she's almost telepathic about sexual feelings. I wonder what happened to her." "Ask the lieutenant the next time he reams your anus." "You know, I'm beginning to wonder if there'll be a next time." * * * Ruth realized that John's habits had changed again. Now he came straight home to supper. When did he feed his warehouse family these days, in the morning? For two mornings she followed him, renting a different car each time. He went straight to work. For a morning and an afternoon she waited in the parking lot near his clunker. He never showed. Presumably the warehouse family had moved elsewhere -- or _been_ moved! Were they children too young to provide their own food? Or elderly? Or fugitives? John was a policeman's idea of what a policeman should be; she could hardly conceive of him harboring fugitives. But why the disguised ownership, both of warehouse and automobile, also registered to Silas Miller? Perhaps now was a good time to answer some of those questions, at least to find out what John had been doing in that warehouse until three days ago. On the fourth morning she waited an hour after his departure and drove to the parking lot. The clunker sat there, her chalk mark of yesterday undisturbed on the tread of the right front tire. She took a deep breath, left the parking lot and turned in the direction of the warehouse. * * * A rich smell of cooked food woke them. The lights were already on. Amy stood at the control deck, her box cart beside her, the BB rifle under one arm. She pressed buttons and their chains began to clank. Something predominantly yellow was on the cart's flat upper surface. Eggs? Could it actually be scrambled eggs and bacon? Paul's dry mouth was suddenly flooded with saliva. When they were fully erected, she pushed the cart close and set two platters off it onto the tile. Her prisoners' eyes popped. Indeed the plates were heaped with scrambled eggs and strips of bacon. She added two frost-beaded cans of cola. Paul swallowed. "You cooked this?" "I did," she answered, returning herself and cart to the control desk. Their chains began to play out. As soon as they could reach the food, their eager hands brought it to their mouths. The woman sat in the straight chair and watched their voracious consumption, chuckling occasionally. "I regret the lack of civilized service, particularly silverware, but I'm sure you understand the inadvisability of it, and clearly neither of you finds its lack to be an impediment... That's right, lick up the last crumbs. No one will slap your hand." She laughed. "You may have an arm stuck up your ass, but your hands are safe." When the platters were clean, she again tightened their chains. Gathering up the plates and cans, she observed, "You may be interested to know that together you've eaten ten eggs and nearly half a pound of bacon." She smiled. "What shall I tell the chef?" "Please give him our compliments," Paul responded dryly, followed by an explosive burp. "Indeed!" she laughed. She took out the water hose and "bathed" them, clearing the grease and food particles from faces, chests and hands, but omitting inversions, enemas and douche. As she restored the hose, she said over her shoulder, "I'll leave you to digest your food for an hour or so, then we'll have some fun." When she closed the door, Paul sighed. "God, I'm stuffed!" "Feast or famine," agreed Jenny, duplicating his earlier burp. "I guess our assholes are due for another stretching." Jenny grinned. "Not necessarily. She may have been considering my advice." "You think so?" "She said '_We'll_ have some fun.' 'We' doesn't have to mean three, you know." Nor did it. When Amy reappeared sometime later, she paused to increase Paul's chain tension, drawing him almost uncomfortably straight, then came to stand before him. She smiled and her hand rose to stroke his fledgling beard. "How do you feel, sweetie?" "Still rather full," he admitted. "Aside from that?" He managed a chuckle. "Aside from being a chained-up prisoner with less freedom than a bull in a slaughterhouse, oh, I feel great." "Freedom's not everything. I'll make you feel better in just a moment." Her hand dropped to his genitals. She caressed them thoroughly. Sinking to one knee, she took his flaccid organ into her mouth. Her head bobbed forward and back. One hand clasped the testicles while the other stroked his lower belly, fingertip probing the navel. After a bit she drew back, exposing the glistening shaft now fully erect. Her fingers worked the skin of the glans, compressing the corona top. "This may be what Slim meant," she mused. "It's thicker here even than his." She grinned up at Paul. "Now I am curious." She got to her feet, turned and left the room. "You were right," he said. "Maybe." Jenny shivered. "But I'm afraid I did you no favor." "Well, of course I'd rather it was _you_ than --" "That's not what I mean. Did you notice her expression when she sliced up Harvey?" "_I_ was watching the razor! What about it?" "She had the same look just now when she handled you." Paul gulped. In a moment Amy returned with a rolled up pad of foam rubber under her arm. She pushed the cart close to the tile and unrolled the pad lengthwise across the rim between carpet and tile, so that about half of it was on each. It was large enough to make a foam mattress for a child's bed. She frowned. "You sure lose a hard-on fast!" She scooted the foot of the pad closer to him and bent again to his rejuvenation. Finally successful, she rose and went to the control desk. For the first time Paul found himself pitching forward, head rotating downward towards the carpet while feet rose toward the rear of the alcove. The top of the semi-circular sliprings curved out and downward from the ceiling. When the grinding motors stopped, he hung uncomfortably face down, sagging slightly from arms and legs now stretched back and above his body. His softening penis was easily the lowest part of his body, a good three feet above the foam pad, now aligned below him. His chains began to play out, lowering him to the pad. At the control desk, Amy bent low, her face nearly to the floor, one arm upraised to the buttons. She stopped the motors just before his penis tip touched the pad. His back was arched, head well above the pad, tilted back wide-eyed to watch her. She threw her robe over a chair and drew near, naked and chuckling. "Didn't know it could do that, sweetie? Well, don't feel bad. It doesn't do it very often... You actually have quite a bit of slack. Bounce yourself with your arms and legs. Go ahead. I want you to see what I mean." He found that he could raise and lower himself more than a foot by flexing elbows, knees and back, but bouncing was painful at wrists and ankles. She watched his experiments with a slight smile, then aligned the pad exactly beneath him. "Draw yourself up," she ordered, lying on her side with her back to him. He complied by straightening his joints, and she rolled under him, her back flat on the pad. She spread her legs and smiled. "Okay, sweetie. Relax yourself onto me." As he sagged upon her, her hand moved between them and she laughed. "You _do_ lose it fast, don't you!" She worked the soft flesh between fingers and labia. "Think about this: you're about to get your first strange piece in a long time. As the Chinese are said to tell their women, 'Relax and enjoy it.'" Her hand jiggled. She continued in tones of sympathy, "Aw, sweetie, are you worried about something? Well, you shouldn't be. When it's firmly in my pussy, your cock is as safe as it has ever been... Now, that's better. See, you only had to think positive thoughts. Come on, sweetie, fuck me good!" His chains began by tinkling. When the woman's hips began to roll, however, he soon caused them to rattle rhythmically. Jenny shook her head, watching the spectacle at her feet. Paul was obviously developing enthusiasm for his work -- for this evil woman. She supposed that she should hardly be surprised. This was simply male nature. She had yet to meet a male who wouldn't poke a padded knothole in a fence if otherwise deprived and if he thought no one would laugh at him afterwards. She sniffed: strike the "padded." The woman was looking up at Jenny past Paul's shoulder. She said something unintelligible in the rattle of chains, then her eyes literally rolled up in her head, revealing only bloodshot whites. Her arms enwrapped the man's chest and her heels hooked themselves on his straining calves. Her hips heaved fiercely in the classically female roll that presses clitoris into pubis at the bottom of the man's stroke. Her mouth opened to emit a ragged contralto moan. Suddenly her body stiffened and she screamed, but the man continued to drive. Jenny was surprised at Paul's stamina. They had not indulged each other since shortly after Calhoun's last visit, when the big man's expected carnal abuse had failed to occur. But Paul continued to plunge atop the mewling woman, now straining to him harder than ever, short-nailed fingers leaving bloodless streaks on his sweating back. In her cool detachment Jenny observed that even the dominant woman must surrender to subjugation if she would reach the ultimate ecstasy, as apparently this vicious old woman below them was approaching. Both lovers were screaming in unison now between gasps for breath. Paul's chains ceased to jerk and rattle as both bodies stiffened. Shortly he simply slumped. The woman's arms and legs released him. She lay panting for a moment before heaving herself out from under him and rolling over onto her belly. She got shakily to her knees and crawled off the tile to fall on her side on the carpet, leaving a few white seminal drops to mark her passage. She lay still, aside from panting breath. Jenny thought of asking her to relieve the strain on Paul's wrists and ankles, but the man simply hung without complaining. As she watched, a last string of semen dripped from his dangling penis to the foam pad, only partly dislodged by Amy's exit. The old woman sat up, her breasts bouncing. She looked at Jenny and muttered reverently, "Good god!" Jenny asked sweetly, "Did you find it special, too?" "It ... catches the cervix, doesn't it?" "That may depend on the cervix." Slowly Amy nodded. "Yes, I agree, which could explain why Beth didn't find him more important to her." "You knew the late Mrs. Lanning?" "Oh, no; for obvious reasons outsiders aren't allowed in here. But I've seen her picture. She was a beautiful woman. And Slim spoke of her often. Her absolute complaisance pleased him, though I warned him that such women are notorious betrayers." "Yet he killed her." "Didn't he tell you? She was about to reveal his identity to the newspapers. He had the choice of persuading her that such a story would wreak greater harm on him than she could imagine, which of course would have been the most foolish mistake he could ever make, or of killing her. I assure you, he agonized over that choice. My son is not a bad man, you know." Jenny clamped her lips shut. "That's really why he brought you and Paul here, why he made you fugitives in the first place. Here neither of you may refuse him in any manner." Amy's lips twisted in a snarl. "I know he'd be a happy man if it weren't for that other bitch of his!" "Do you know her?" "Huh! He's careful not even to mention her name. But I know the signs only too well. I saw them often enough in my misbegotten husband." "Oh-h-h," groaned Paul. "What is it, sweetie?" asked the woman solicitously, rising up. "That can't be very comfortable, can it? Well, we'll fix that!" At the control desk she pressed the buttons that rotated Paul upright and loosened his chains somewhat. "Is that better, sweetie?" she asked, returning. She rolled up the foam pad and threw it aside, but her attention soon turned to his genitals. She lifted the flaccid organ, laid it in her palm and bent to lick the last drop from its eye. She straightened up with a sigh. "Sweetie, this sweet pole is so ordinary in all ways but one, but that one is truly breath- taking! Surely someone has told you about it." Paul allowed himself a slight smile. "A few other women have remarked on it." "I'll bet they have! Do you know the story of King Aloysius?" "Huh?" "He had the most beautiful palace in the world. Artisans came from far and wide to decorate it for him at first, but they soon ceased. Can you guess why?" "He wouldn't pay?" "Not a bad guess, though he was rich, of course. But, no, King Aloysius was jealous. He couldn't stand the thought that somewhere another king might have anything so fine as he. So whenever an artisan finished his work, the poor man was put to death." "Ah, ah --" "I'm jealous, too. I can't stand the idea of another woman enjoying this cock, not even Jenny." "B-but ... You can't mean ..." She smiled. "What can't I mean?" "If you kill me, you can't enjoy it either!" "Perhaps not, though I can add it to my collection and reminisce over it. I have such lovely memories in my collection! But, no. Kill you? I could never do that, sweetie. My son loves your asshole much too well; he'd never forgive me. No, no. I can't kill you. But he'll never miss this little morsel or its supply pouch. At least, not much." "B-but -- Please! Good god!" Jenny interjected, "Your son loves that cock, too. You yourself told us he said it was special." The woman's eyes glittered. "Well, then, he'll just have to find himself another one, won't he?" She took a breath and added with determination, "This one shall be _mine_!" She opened a lower drawer of the cart and removed a Mason jar identical to the one used for Harvey. Next came the glittering straight razor. Someone had cleaned it. She opened the jar and set it in readiness on the cart, which she pushed directly before the horrified man. She grinned at him. "Too bad you can't kiss it good-bye, eh, sweetie? Tell you what: if you don't scream too much, I'll even let you suck it a little. Is that a deal?" "Please, please, I'll bleed to death!" "No, you won't." She reached deeper in the drawer and produced a large sealed gauze pad with a roll of white adhesive tape. She commented chattily, "I really wanted to perform a sex reassignment upon you. I've studied the video tape carefully and believe I could do it successfully." Holding the razor up in one hand, she paused to ask the man, "Would you agree to let me make a woman of you?" "Yes! Yes! Anything!" She chuckled and shook her head. "Anything to keep your cock a little while longer, eh? Well, I'm sorry to disappoint you, sweetie, but Slim expressly forbade that upon you. I'm afraid he has less confidence in my surgical skill than I have. He insists on keeping you alive. I can't imagine what's so enjoyable about an asshole, can you? Well, maybe you can. You have a sort of tool to plumb one. That is, you _had_ such a tool!" Paul screamed as the razor approached his groin. She paused with the blade held just above his cringing skin and cocked an eyebrow up at him. "What _wouldn't_ you do to stop me?" He had seen her remove Harvey's equipment in a single curving slice of that razor, hardly a full second's work. He opened his mouth for a last desperate plea -- A high but strong voice rang out in the room despite the muffling of the drapes: "What _I_ would do is kill you!" Amy whirled around. The two prisoners' eyes flashed up. A short, stocky person, from the voice perhaps a woman, stood in hooded parka and gray coveralls just inside the doorway, now open, to the apartment interior. Her hands were extended together, holding a large leveled pistol. "Who the hell are you?" Amy demanded. "Drop the razor first. And don't try threatening those people with it. We're only 20 feet apart, and I can and will shoot your eye out at this distance." Amy did drop the razor. Before it struck the tile she was clawing at another drawer in the cart. "Don't try it!" warned the invader. But the naked woman rose up, a silver snub-nosed revolver in her hand. Before it was level it snapped a long tongue of flame at the intruder. The resulting crash deafened all ears painfully. Half a second later the invader's pistol emitted an orange flare and an answering crash that resounded even upon deaf ears. The back of Amy's head exploded, showering Paul with bits of flesh and bone. She was thrown back against his side. From there she collapsed to the tile, twitched twice and lay still. She stared up at him with one unmoving eye. The other eye-socket was a confusion of flesh, blood and clear liquid. His ears were ringing as the invader advanced upon them. He found himself trembling. The newcomer tucked the pistol into his parka -- _her_ parka; such a smooth chin could only belong to a woman. She stooped briefly over Amy and stood up, looking from Paul, now blubbering uncontrollably, to Jenny, who returned her stare unflinchingly. The invader shook her head and said something. "What?" Jenny called. "I've really done it now, haven't I?" the woman shouted. "Yes, you have," Jenny called back. "You have certainly saved Paul's genitals and likely his life. And she left you no choice." The newcomer took a breath and tilted her head towards Amy. "What kind of woman would offer to mutilate a man so?" "A monster. Not just 'offer.' She did that very thing to another man here a few days ago." "Did she! And where is that man now?" "This woman's son is the real power here. He disposed of the body in a rock crusher somewhere else in this building." The newcomer nodded. "I've seen it. I thought it smelled of blood. Where is the son?" "We don't know. Probably at police headquarters." The woman stared at Jenny. Her face worked strangely. At last she said, almost too softly to be heard over the persistent ringing, "Tell me the worst of it." Jenny's eyes narrowed. "You're Ruth, aren't you?" "Ruth Taylor." She let her breath out in a long sigh. "He's mentioned me, then." "Yes." "'Paul.' Would that be Paul Lanning and Jenny Collier?" "Yes! Please don't tell me you're aiding him with -- But you couldn't be!" Ruth did not answer the implied accusation directly. She said, "This was his mother, then?" "Yes." "Oh, my god, what have I done?" Paul had recovered somewhat. He declared, "You've d-done me a service I'll never forget!" "You!" she sneered. "My John could twist you into a pretzel." "Oh, yes!" Paul chuckled bitterly. "And believe me, he has!" Jenny noted with a touch of sympathy, "You love him, don't you?" Ruth took a breath. "You'll never know such love." "Won't I? I rather hope not, at least for a man like him. You probably don't know that he raped both of us several times." "No, I didn't know it, but I'm not surprised. Everything about John is superhuman, including his appetites. All right. The first thing is to get you down from there." On tiptoe she examined Jenny's cuff. "Do you know where they keep the keys?" "Try her robe pockets. On the chair." But the pockets proved empty. Jenny commented, "I got them away from her the other day and almost freed us. She probably stopped carrying them. Try the cart drawers." Again Ruth found no key. Paul noted a strain in Jenny's voice as she suggested, "Please look in their living quarters. When I saw them, they were four keys on a small ring. They're rather peculiar, with teeth inside an L-shaped tip." Ruth nodded. "Unpickable restraint keys. I'll recognize them." She spun around, took one step toward the door and froze. "John!" she cried in surprise. Calhoun stood just inside the interior door, wearing his lieutenant's uniform. He smiled at her in apparent delight. "I can't believe even you could pick a Nordstrom lock!" "Well, I didn't," she answered, returning his smile. "I made a copy of the Class Seven master key when I took the course." "You smarty! Come give me a kiss." He actually held out his arms. She walked toward him without hesitation. "John, I just killed your mother." "She pulled the .357 in the cart, eh? Did she miss?" "Yes, not even close, John. That's her bullet hole in the drapes." "But you didn't miss, I see." She was standing, arms at her side, directly before him. "No, John. I shot her in the left eye." "With your Beretta? Did you collect the brass?" "No, but I know where it lies." "Good girl," he acknowledged fondly. She came into his arms. Paul muttered in amazement, "She's kissing him?" "She loves him absolutely," Jenny remarked with a catch in her voice. "Good Christ! Do you think she can prevent him from killing us?" "She might help him with that. Just now we are likely to represent her man's greatest danger." "Oh, shit! From the frying pan to the fire!" "Listen!" By now the ringing had faded. With concentration Paul could understand the low voices across the room. Calhoun had asked, "Will you stick by me, Ruth?" Her answer was a question, too. "Do you love me, John?" He hesitated. "I ... don't know. I think so." "Did you love your mother?" He shook his head. "Again I don't know what to call how I felt. I almost always obeyed her." She nodded. "As I thought. You do know you're a monster, don't you, John?" He shrugged. "Perhaps I am." "But a demigod, as well. And I know you can give me a child." "Any man --" he gestured to Paul, "that one, for example -- can give you a child." "Your child, John. _You_ can give me a child!" "Perhaps. I've had my sperm tested. It fertilized an egg in vitro." She grinned smugly. "Also _in vivo_, John. Perhaps I can take your mother's place." His face brightened. "Yes, I believe you could." "But obviously not in Ohio. We'll have to go away, far away." "Okay." "You must give up your property and position in Bering, as well as the trappings of power you enjoy." "Okay." "And you must free those two." "Wouldn't it be best to grind them up with Momma and burn the place down? I can make it look --" "No, John. Yes, it would best for our getaway. But I'm a moral person, even if I do own a porno shop -- which I'll have to abandon, too. I love you totally and I can make excuses for what you did under her influence, but the indefensible killings have to stop now, John." "Okay." "Brace yourself, John." He studied her quizzically. Suddenly, with the speed of a striking snake, the hand of this stocky little woman, 5'2" at 145 lb., flashed up and stingingly slapped the face of the man in perfect condition, 6'1" at 210 lb. His head twitched to the side but immediately straightened. He merely waited, cheek reddening. "That was for leaving this morning without kissing me." "But -- Okay, dear." "And to establish the new basis of our relationship. Do you understand, John?" "Perfectly. I love you." "Yes, you do. Is there any cash in this place?" "A little. Maybe 60 grand." "Unlock them, show them the money and let's go before they can summon help." "Yes, dear." He drew a ring of keys from his pocket, explaining to her as he approached his prisoners, "But we may have more time than you think. There's no clothing here that they'll wear and no telephone." Stepping over his mother's body, he made short work of releasing their cuffs. "Follow me," he ordered, turning toward the interior door. "Maybe I ought to use the hose," suggested Paul diffidently, rubbing one wrist in the other hand, looking askance at the flecks of Amy on his chest. "You might prefer warm water from the bathroom," the big man answered indifferently, leading all three into the apartment where Amy had lived alone for many years. Ruth paused to collect her spent cartridge, then followed him with the others to a safe, inset on a wall behind a framed landscape. He set the picture off on the floor, spun the dials, opened it and pointed to a tall stack of currency. "That's yours, about 60 grand the last time I counted it." He grinned. "And I guarantee it's unmarked and unrecorded. One other thing you might find useful:" -- he pointed to some gray ledger books on a shelf -- "Mamma's journal. She recorded everything she and I did. Almost everything." He flicked Ruth a grin. "If you show it to the cops, it should absolve you of the crimes Ohio has charged you with." Ruth strode forward. "John, take the money out, leave it on the table and close up that safe." She looked from Paul to Jenny as the big man obeyed her. "We'll leave you now. You have your freedom and I'm sure you can improvise something to wear from those closets and drawers. In regard to the money: like John says, it's yours in compensation to some degree for what he's put you through, but consider this. That's off-the-record money and your fingerprints are not on the safe. But if the cops catch us, we'll tell them about it. They'd be most interested, I'm sure. So if you have a bite to eat and take your time about leaving here and turning us in, you stand a good chance of being 60 thousand richer with no one the wiser." "Whose money is it?" asked Paul. "It's legitimate," Calhoun answered. "Now it's yours." To Ruth he said, "Ready to go?" "Come on. I'll ride with you." When the door closed behind them, Paul heaved a huge sigh. "I can't believe it!" Jenny chuckled and started to hug him before drawing back. "Ugh! I think that's half of Amy's head on your chest. Find the bathroom and wash yourself off. I'll see what I can improvise for clothes. If you have to, you can wear one of her robes." Paul looked around, shaking his head. "Believe me, I'll wear anything to get out of this place!"
