Chapter 25
Sophomore Year


The rest of the summer had passed happily, blackout notwithstanding. 
Scarlet's parents had swung by with the rest of her things, and Alan
enjoyed meeting them and her brother.  A few days later Alan's folks
and Mrs. Van Devanter drove the three of them and their stuff back to
campus; Mr. Van Devanter was still in Cambridge with Pauline, getting
her settled into her dorm and attending some parent orientation and
welcoming events.  He was on cloud nine, one of his offspring at last
following in his Crimson footsteps.

Alan was rooming with Soren again, this year in Shapiro Hall, a dorm
on the opposite side of Broadway from the center of campus.  They
liked it because it was quiet; a great many of the buildings on campus
were undergoing renovation due to the upcoming 250th anniversary of
the founding of the college.

Kate had a single in Brooks, a dorm right on Barnard's campus. 
Scarlet was in another single just across the hall.

A week into classes Alan met Jack at the office.  Jack updated him on
his last month of progress with the female assassin.  He hadn't fully
exploded her mental shields, but he was getting close.  Most of what
he learned concerned her last mission, and he was viewing tantalizing
memories concerning some kind of crystal artifact, the details of
which the ninja (ninjess?) was trying desperately to conceal. 
Wilkins, Karick, and Anne-Marie joined them after a scant hour, and
Alan was updated as to the efforts in securing the Iraq contracts, and
on security and business matters in general.  Anne-Marie mostly kept
out of the conversation, chipping in a comment or two when the talk
touched on one of her areas of responsibility.  When the trio had left
Alan asked why Anne-Marie had been taken notes.

"A promotion, my dear fellow!" Jack enthused.

"What?"

"She is now an ex-officio member of the board, and the corporate
secretary, on top of her regular work.  She was compiling the
corporate minutes."

"So she's working out?  I'm glad."

There was a twinkle in Jack's eye, the source of which Alan was
knowledgeable.

Harriet, Stan Wilkins's secretary came in with coffee service, and
Alan and Jack helped themselves to some brew.  Jack asked about his
classes, and Alan pulled out his schedule.

"Hmm," Jack said between sips of coffee as he examined the printout. 
"You're taking both Aramaic, at school, and Classical Hebrew with me;
that's ambitious.  Well, well, well, I see you in good hands with your
other classes as well.  Mancini for Literature and Sources of the
Ancient Near East."

"Do you know him?" Alan asked.

"Know him?  Know him?" he was almost choking.  "Why, he trained at my
feet!  An excellent sort, yes."  He scanned the paper again, taking
note of who was teaching the Aramaic language class.  "S. O'Dwyer?  I
didn't know Seamus was at Columbia.  A very able chap, but be careful,
or you'll be speaking Aramaic with an Irish brogue."

"I keep that in mind," Alan answered with a chuckle.

Jack couldn't make out the rest of the classes on Alan's schedule. 
"What's CC?"

Alan explained that Columbia had a rather extensive core curriculum,
the centerpiece being a lit course known as CC, covering stuff from
the ancient Greeks to the modern period.

"Well, enough of that. Are you ready?" Jack asked as he made to unlock
the heavy door.

"Ready," he responded, steeling himself.

The door swung open slowly.  Alan followed the older man in, his eyes
adjusting to the dimness of the windowless office.  The young woman
was wearing a collar around the neck, attached to a heavy bolt in the
center of the room.  The leash had only five feet of slack, so her
movements were quite limited.  She was handcuffed with two soft
leather cuffs encircling her wrists, connected by a short length of
steel chain.  Her ankles were bound likewise.  She was blindfolded
with a black nylon cloth, and she was wearing gym shorts and an I
<Heart> NY t-shirt.


Alan arched an eyebrow at Jack, and he responded telepathically.

"She is still dangerous.  He physical combat skills match her mental
acumen, therefore the cuffs and collar," the former professor
projected.  "As for the clothes, well, what can I say, or in this
case, think.  The shorts have an elastic waist. I couldn't very well
nip her off to the shops to try things on, could I have?  A very nice
young man from Senegal, proprietor of a small table right outside the
train station, sold me the chemises," he added, gesturing to the
touristy shirt, "ten tees for forty dollars.  I could never pass up a
bargain."

She had been asleep when the pair had entered, but she was clearly
awake now, her head swiveling around trying to hear the movements of
her captors.  She could sense them communicating telepathically, but
was unable to tune into their mental conversations.  Her frustration
mounted, a she squeezed her eyes shut under the sash of cloth which
blinded her.  She had no idea how long she had been imprisoned, and
her terror was starting to build.

Dying in battle was one thing, but capture was a far worse thing.  She
knew her mission was a dangerous one, but never had she imagined
circumstances like the one she now found herself in.  The man, the
older one, the one who had thwarted her at the last moment of triumph,
was getting to her, breaking her down, eroding her mental defenses,
and she was coming to realize that it was just a matter of time before
she crumbled completely.  Nothing in her training had prepared her for
this.  The arrogance of her training astounded her, overwhelming the
sense of shame she knew she should at this instant be rightly feeling.
 Never in her years of training and mastery of the Art had she been
instructed against the possibility of capture.  Such a fate had never
befallen a member of her noble order.

One of them was touching her, holding her by the shoulders and lifting
her into a crouch.  She was pushed onto the sofa, on her back.  She
did not resist, knowing she had no choice.  The only saving grace was
that she hadn't been raped, but she feared that this would not be the
case for long.  She trembled. A hand on her head, attempting calm her.
 Sympathy, just what she needed.  With a mighty effort she lashed out
with her weakened mind, hoping the physical contact would help
transmit her commands more powerfully.

Alan tensed, feeling her mental energy stream forth.  His hand hurt as
he held it to her forehead. It stung, but was bearable.  "What's she
doing?" he asked Jack, speaking aloud for the first time since they
entered the room.

"Attack," he answered, shrugging his shoulders.  Alan withdrew his
hand and the sting dissipated.

"She's much weaker," Alan projected, resuming the communication by
mind.  "It was almost effortless to keep her from my mind.  In fact, I
didn't even know she was attacking until you said it."

Jack approached the couch and sat her upright.  Alan took the left
flank, his partner the right.

"I think it's time we double up on her," Jack projected into Alan's
mind.  "She's been eating of late, a good thing too, because she
refused the smallest bite for quite a while.  I think the isolation
has been trying on her."

"What do you need me to do?" Alan asked, his lips not moving.

"Try to scan her."

Alan tried.  He got virtually nowhere.  He could see inside her mind,
but all was shadowed by the shields protecting her consciousness. 
Jack was monitoring his progress, and shot him a wry grin as Alan
withdrew his ineffectual probe.

"What were you looking for?" the older man asked.

"I was trying to learn why she allowed herself to be set against me. 
We already know some of it, the part having to do with Lord Thornbow. 
What we still don't know is why she and her order have allied
themselves with him."

"A vexing point, yes.  Did you see the crystal, the black crystal on
the wooden stand in the center of the chapel?"

"What about it?"

"I believe," Jack said slowly, marshaling his thoughts, "that we have
reached the ineffable core of our dilemma, and by `our' I am referring
to all of us, you me AND the girl."

Before he went on he tightened the assassin's bonds and led Alan out
of the secure room, into the conference room next door.

"I've been making some calls, asking around, making inquiries," the
European gentleman began as he gestured Alan to have a chair.

"But, but, you don't know anyone, or rather no one knows you," Alan
sputtered in reply.

"My dear boy, when you are a Vessel of the Seed, introductions, and,
dare I say, earthly pedigree means nothing.  There are numerous human
resources available here in your fine city.  I had a very interesting
afternoon with an elderly professor down at NYU yesterday afternoon,
and another interesting meeting the day before last up at your current
place of education.  If you didn't know it, the Starr East Asian is an
excellent resource.  Sad to say, I haven't discovered too much about
this monastery, but time, young man, is most certainly on our side."

Alan voiced his doubts.  "Your brother--"

"STEPbrother," Jack corrected sharply, but without malice.

"Your stepbrother has made two attempts on me, and tried to kill you
in London last year.  Tell me again: How is time on our side?"

"We have a number of natural advantages, or supernatural advantages,
you might say.  First, we are Vessels.  Second, my stepbrother thinks
there is only you.  Third, Mr. Patel informed me there is no firm
backup plan if the young lady next door was to fail.  Fourth--no--I
could go on, but you get the point.

"There are legends, Alan, legends of ninja assassins with almost
supernatural power.  Never confirmed to the most slightest degree.  I
believe our female guest is myth personified.  We need to find this
mysterious order, and perhaps ally ourselves with them.  I'm somewhat
surprised that nobody's come looking for her."

Jack went on to tell Alan of his research, but Alan didn't follow much
of it.  After a while Harriet came in and asked if they wanted to
order lunch up, and they did, Jack ordering for himself and a separate
meal for the prisoner.

Wilkins came in after lunch and the rest of the afternoon was spent at
business.  Jack had sheltered some of his investments and business
concerns from his estate, and Wilkins had spent much of the summer
reorganizing them under the Cyaxares umbrella.  The lobbyist in
Washington was making progress with the Iraqi contracts, but the three
of them agreed that Jack's presence in D.C. would be required to close
the deals.  He and Anne-Marie would be leaving Monday, and spending
the whole week away, and Alan agreed to stop by the offices each day
to feed and tend to the prisoner.

Still, Alan was uncomfortable as to the manner in which the
corporation was now structured, specifically that he was President and
CEO, and he made his worries known.

By the time they adjourned Jack was President and CEO, and Stan and
Alan were board members.  Karick and Neil were also added to the
board, and Anne-Marie was confirmed as corporate secretary, a
non-voting member.

* * *

A few weeks later...

Kate sat with her friends at a table in McIntosh picking at her food. 
Alan was late, something very out of character for him.  She was
following the conversation, but not really participating, and with a
shock she realized that Scarlet was leaving, along with almost all of
her companions.

"Hate to dine and dash, dear," the redhead said as an apology as she
bussed her stuff of the tabletop, "but I have about two hundred pages
of sociology to read by tomorrow."

The only one left at the table beside Kate was a fellow sophomore, a
pretty blonde named Jenna, who Kate had noticed being increasingly
catty towards Scarlet over the past week.

"I know you were roommates and all," Jenna sneered, "But I can't for
the life of me understand why you're still friends with her."

"Who?" Kate asked, "Scarlet?  Scarlet's great.  What the beef between
the two of you?  I thought you liked her."

"Really?" Jenna sniffed.  "How much do you really know about her?"

Kate turned away for a second, troubled by what Jenna was insinuating,
and she saw Alan enter just as Scarlet was exiting.  They met near the
door and exchanged pleasantries.  Kate stood and waved so Alan would
see where she was sitting.

"That your boyfriend?" Jenna asked, watching Alan and Scarlet chat.

"Yeah, that's Alan."

Kate had only begun hanging out with Jenna since the start of this
term.  They sort of knew each other freshman year, but they had lived
in different dorms, and hadn't shared any classes.  This year they
were in two classes together, and lived only a few doors down from
each other.

"Well, from what I've seen, Kate," she said acidly and starting in
again, "You wont have to worry about Scarlet stealing him," she said,
smugness clear in her tone, "I know for a fact she's a dyke.  You
know, a--"

"Excuse me?" Kate said with indignation dripping from her voice, now
that Jenna was laying her cards on the table.

"You know, a lez, a carpet muncher, a--"

"I know what you meant," Kate huffed, "And you shouldn't spread
rumors."

"It's not a rumor.  I saw her kissing Jess Starmer.  Her door faces
mine, and last Sunday night Jess went in there and didn't come out
until morning.  And when she left I saw them swapping spit, and--"

"Just can it, Jenna!  Scarlet's like my best friend, and you shouldn't
be a gossip.  Hi Alan."  He had just arrived with a sandwich in hand
from the Montague's Deli counter.

"Are you two ladies gossiping?  Anything good?"

"No, nothing really," Kate said quickly, her eyes shooting daggers at
Jenna.  The other girl took the hint.

"Nice to meet you Alan. Gotta run, I've got Latin American Literature
in Translation in five.  See ya `round."

"She seems nice," Alan said, putting his tray down next to Kate's.

"I thought so until just now," Kate answered.

"What happened?"

"She called Scarlet a dyke.  Scarlet is very private about her
sexuality, you know, and by this time next week everybody's going to
know she does it with girls.  You and I plus a few more people know,
but her boyfriend back in Ohio doesn't, her family has no idea.  It
could get back to them," Kate sighed.

"Maybe we can figure out a way to have Jenna not tell."

Kate snorted, "Fat chance of that."

"Don't be so sure," her boyfriend replied, a wry smile plastered
across his face.  He changed the subject.  "I'll come by tonight,
we'll get some dinner, and I'll study in your room."

"Sleepover?" she asked expectantly.  He nodded.

* * *

Jenna Roush stepped off the elevator; it was near ten o'clock, and she
was satisfied that she was prepared for her next day's classes, having
cloistered herself all afternoon in a library carrel.  As she made her
way down the hall greeting friends she could see the dyke's door was
closed.  The idea of having a lesbian right across the hall disgusted
her.  What was worse was that she had actually witnessed it.  She had
heard a quiet rumor that Scarlet was gay, and so she had mostly tried
to avoid being near her when she could avoid it, and she made it her
business never to be alone with the damned dyke.  She liked Kate,
admired her really.  Kate was rich, exceptionally smart, pretty, and
had a cute (but not movie-star handsome) boyfriend.  All of her
friends who knew Alan thought he was great, but, in her mind, if Kate
was friends with that fucking rug muncher, this Alan fellow could do
better.

Kate's door was open as she passed, and to her surprise, the only
occupant of the room was Alan, lying on her bed propped up with a big
bunch of pillows, a book in one hand, a pencil in the other.

"Hello."

"Oh, hi. Jenna, right?"

"That's me," she giggled seductively.  "Where's Kate?"

"Finished her coursework, so she went to UFM to get some sodas and
snacks.  Should be back soon.  Are you looking for her?"

"What are you reading?" she asked, twirling a finger through her
blonde locks.

"Enuma Elish."

"Huh?  What's that?" she asked as she moved towards the bed.

"The Epic of Gilgamesh.  I'm reading it for this great class I'm
taking.  Literature and Sources of the Ancient Near East."

She was standing right next to him, so close he could smell her
perfume.  "You can read that?" she asked.

"Sure.  I'm still learning the cuneiform, but it's an interlinear
translation and transliteration.  See,
each line of Akkadian text is followed by a phonetic rendering, and
then a translation."

"Impressive."  She sat down next to him, her boob pressing into his
arm.  "Is that what you want to study?  Old stuff?"

He laughed, and she knew she was getting to him, her feminine charm
doing its business.  Guys were easy, calculus was hard.

"Yeah," he said, "I like this stuff."  He made a last note in the
margin and closed the book.  "How was your class?  Latin American
Lit?"

"Great.  It's a great class."  She leaned against him with more of her
body.  He didn't object.

"Hmmm, maybe I'll take it next year."

"I," she started, leaning in to him, her face approaching his, Alan
not objecting, "Highly," she continued, her lips almost brushing
against his, "Recommend it," she concluded, pressing her mouth to his.

"Stop," Alan commanded, holding her by her shoulders, pushing her away
and holding her at arms length.  "What the fuck do you think you're
doing?" he demanded.

"She's not good enough for you.  Her best friend's a lez.  Hell, they
probably were licking each other out all last year, when they were
roommates."

"What's going on in here?" Kate asked, setting the shopping bag down.

"Kate," Jenna gasped, "I can explain."

Kate shut the door and turned the desk chair to face the bed and sat. 
"This I've got to hear.  OK, Jenna, shoot."

"I'm sorry Kate, I really am.  He started coming on to me, and I
should have tried harder to get away, but he grabbed me, hell, he's
still grabbing me!"

"Oh?  And what, pray tell, were you doing in my room, with my
boyfriend.  I know you tried to steal Carole Foster's guy last
semester.  Keep this up and you'll get a rep."

"You don't believe me!" she gasped in false indignation.  "Your animal
of a boyfriend tries to feel me up, and you don't believe me?"

"Alan?" Kate asked, looking right in his eyes.  Verbalizing the
question was unnecessary.  He shook his head, grinning, winking at
her.

"You bitch!" Kate yelled, though not loud enough for her voice to
carry.

"You're the bitch!" Jenna shot back.  "Just you wait.  The minute I
leave this room I'm going to tell everybody on the hall that your
boyfriend is a filthy rapist who tried to get over on me because you
and your bitch friend Scar-lez go down on each other every other
night!"

Kate shot out of the chair, moving faster than Alan had ever seen her
reach and slapped the blonde girl on her cheek, hard.

Jenna was stunned, and decided to flee before things got out of hand. 
She shoved Alan off of her and sprang off the bed, heading for the
door.  "Fuck, I'll tell everybody that you and Scarlet started hitting
on me, and it was a close escape just to get out with my panties
intact."

"Stop," he said again.  His voice was calm and measured, and for some
reason she couldn't fathom she obeyed, her hand inches from the door
knob.  "Turn around," he commanded so quietly she had to strain to
hear him, but she acquiesced nonetheless.  He was looking right at
her, and for the life of her she couldn't tear her eyes from his.

"You owe us an apology.  Scarlet, too, but that will come later."

She tried to speak, but couldn't find her voice.  She was outraged,
and as her lips flapped soundlessly as bile built up within her.  She
tried to scream, to berate the pair of them, but nothing came out.  As
her hate built within her she became more and more frustrated, her
horror boiling over as she realized she was unable to move or speak. 
She passed out, her back sliding down the door until she was sitting,
her head lolling forward.

Alan took two steps to the door and grabbed her under her arms,
lifting her up, turning, and the dropping her flat on her back on
Kate's mattress.

"What happened to her?" Kate asked in horror.

Alan turned to her and locked his eyes to hers.  He stepped forward as
she collapsed towards him, and he caught her before she fell.

"Pleasant dreams, ladies," he chuckled as he nudged Jenna aside to
make room next to her for Kate on the narrow dorm room bed.

* * *

Jenna opened her eyes, scared by her unfamiliar surroundings, and by
the fact that she was naked.  The torch on the stone wall cast dim
light through the dungeon.  She tried to get up and look around but
she was shackled to the damp wall by her wrists, flat on her back,
reposed on a
straw mat; it was itchy on her soft skin.

She started as she heard the door to the cell open with a rusty squeak
and tilted her head as far as her stiff leather collar would allow. 
Through the bars she could see Alan, his hand moving the barred
opening over to the side, allowing his entrance.  Once the cell was
open she strained against her bonds, trying with all her might to free
herself, but it was useless.  Through teary eyes she saw him watching
him from the entrance.  He had made no move to enter.  He was laughing
at her, a soft yet powerful sort of chuckle, and it sent chills
running up and down her spine.

"W-what are you doing--"

"Silence, slave," he boomed.

Her mouth closed in mid sentence, and she looked away from him in
fear.

She heard him take a few steps into the room, but she refused to look
up.

"Look at me, slave."

His voice was so powerful, and she was unable to remain defiant.  Her
body was wracked with the shivers as she looked upon him.  He was
chilling to behold.  He was dressed in black, from top to bottom, his
boots, pants and jacket leather, a fabric shirt under the jacket. 
Suddenly he was leaning over her, and she felt him fiddle at her
wrists, releasing her from the wall.

Her first thought was to fight, to knock him down and run away, but
she was unresisting as he pulled her up and spun her around.  He
clipped the wrist cuffs together and spun her back.

Her eyes were glued to the floor, well, as much as the uncomfortable
collar would allow.  She felt his hand on her neck, and he played with
the collar for a few seconds before cupping her chin and forcing her
gaze upwards.  She gasped as she saw his face clearly for the first
time.  The light of the torch reflected off his gentle eyes, but she
felt the power that was emanating from them.

"Do you know why you're here, slave?" he grunted.

"No, Alan, I don't. P-p-please let me go," she sobbed.

She squeaked as he swatted her bottom.

"I am your master, and you will address me as such."

She tried to spit in his face, but she was restrained by fear.

"Do you know why you're here, slave?"

"No.  LET ME OUT OF HERE RIGH--" Slap, harder this time.  "N-no,
Master."

"You've been naughty."  He placed his palm flat against her forehead
and a stream of words and images swam through her mind, the scenes of
this afternoon and evening played like a movie through her brain.  A
tear escaped and slid slowly down her cheek.

He unshackled her with his free hand.

"I'm sorry," she cried, understanding filling her.  She was wrong. 
Her Master had shown her that.  She felt an overwhelming need to
repent.  Master's hand skimmed up her head to the top, and he took her
by her hair; it hurt a little, but she knew she deserved it.  He
pushed her to her knees.

CLIP CLOP CLIP CLOP.  Footsteps approaching.  Her terror returned.

* * * 

Kate stood at the entrance of the cell, a little disoriented.  She was
in a dungeon, torches lining the hall as she had passed a series of
empty cells on each side.  It sort of reminded her of her dorm, both
from the smallness of the rooms, and the same distance between each
door.  She could see that the last cell on the right was open, and she
made her way there, though she couldn't say why.  As she entered she
saw Alan and Jenna.  He was clad in black and she was naked.  Kate
smiled, a wicked look on her face.  Right then she noticed her own
attire.  Like Alan she was in all black, all leather in her case.  Her
boots were knee high, four-inch heels.  She wore a bustier and black
leather panties.  There was a riding crop in her right hand which she
hadn't previously noted.

"Mistress Kate, so glad you could join me," he said, not turning to
greet her.  Kate fell into her role in an instant.

"A pleasure, Master Alan.  Has this one been naughty?"

"Indeed, indeed.  In deeds and words, Mistress Kate, she has been very
naughty."

Jenna moaned in despair, and to her alarm, arousal.  She could feel
moisture at her cleft, a bead of her feminine nectar dripping down her
inner thigh.  Alan took one step to the side, and Jenna gasped at the
sight of Mistress Kate.

"Hmmm, Master Alan," she said in a thoughtful tone, "Be so kind as to
remind me what we do to naughty slaves."

"Tell us, slave, what do we do to naughty slaves?"

"I don't know," she said morosely.  Alan leaned over and slapped her
on her butt again, this time harder than the last.  She yelped at the
sting.  "I don't know, Master," she whispered, her voice bursting with
fright.

"Mistress Kate, please be so kind as to tell this little slave what we
do to naughty slaves."

"It would be my pleasure, Master Alan."  She strode with confidence to
the cowering blonde girl and hoisted her to her feet.  In her high
heels she towered over the shivering slave, when without the shoes
they would have been roughly the same stature.  Jenna shivered when
Kate cupped her chin just as Alan had, and she looked up into the
raven-haired girls eyes as her whole being shook in fear.  Though Kate
was looking right at her, the answer was directed at him.  "We punish
them, Master Alan, we punish naughty slaves so they wont be naughty
anymore."

* * *


Though hoping against hope that this nightmare would end this instant,
Jenna resigned herself to her fate.  She watch in horror as Alan
("Shit, Master Alan, Master Alan, Mistress Kate, Mistress Kate," she
drummed into her own mind, hoping to avoid another smack on her ass)
pulled a leash from the pocket of his leather jacket, handing it to
Mistress Kate.  She heard a click and realized that the leash was now
attached to her collar, and she offered no struggle as she was dragged
across the stone floor to the other side of the room.  She allowed
herself to be bound to a leather upholstered sawhorse, her cuffs
fastened to opposite ends of the horse, her leash wrapped around the
crossbar so that there was less than two inches of slack from her
collar.

She could hear them behind her, feel the breeze caused by the air
being displaced by their movements.  Neither of her tormentors spoke,
nor did they touch her, but she could hear their footfalls
nonetheless, preparing something.

Suddenly Alan stood before her, his groin inches from her face, the
smell of his leather tickling her nose.  He fiddled with the leash and
she felt more slack come to her leash as he held her head between his
powerful hands, lifting her view to him.  His eyes were scary with
determination.

"I want you to count each one," he said in that quiet and commanding
tone of his.  She betrayed no reaction, not quite understanding what
was about to happen to her, not quite knowing exactly what was
expected of her.

* * *

With a start Kate realized she was gripping a paddle in her right
hand.  I was padded with calf leather, and she stroked the fingertips
of her left hand over the surface of it.  The handle was walnut, and
she thought the piece was beautiful as she admired it in the
flickering torchlight.  She felt his eyes on her and looked his way.

"Now," he said sternly.

Kate struck Jenna, the blow slapping across her cheeks.  Jenna
screamed, though louder than she should have considering the force of
the smack Kate had dealt her.

"Count it," he ordered the bound girl.

"Why are you doing this?" she sniffled once she was able to deal with
the pain.

"Now," he repeated.  A replay.

"Please," the blonde girl cried.  "I'm sorry!  I-I-I'm a liar!  I
admit it!" she bawled.  "Kate, please don't do this to me.  I lied!  I
came on to him!  I admit it! I admit it! Please!"

"Again!"  Smack. "Count it."

"Three," she whimpered, her face wet with tears.

"No, little slave.  No.  That was one."

"NO!" she screeched.  "That was three.  She hit me three times! 
Please."

"Count it, slave.  That was one.  If you don't count it, it doesn't
count," Kate said, and even though Jenna couldn't see her, she could
almost visualize Kate sneering at her.


"One."

Her head was yanked up by her blonde mane, and she shook in terror as
she saw Kate before her, Alan having taken a short step aside.  The
paddle was right in front of her face, just below the eye level, and
she whined, fearing Kate was about to hit her in the mouth.

"Kiss it," the black-haired girl commanded, "Kiss it and thank me for
punishing you, you worthless little lying slave."

"Thank you Mistress Kate for punishing this worthless little slave
liar," she moaned as she showered the shiny leather of the instrument
of her torment with little kisses.  She moaned again as Kate retreated
to the position behind her, steeling herself for another blow.

"Two!" she screamed out, her ass afire in pain.  "Thank you Mistress
Kate for punishing this lying slave," she sobbed.  Kate held the
paddle before her once more, and she worshipped it with her trembling
lips.

"Three!  Thank you Mistress Kate..."

"Four! Thank you Mistress Kate..."

"FIVE!  Oh my GOD!"

The bound coed trembled as ecstasy consumed her.  Her body convulsed
and she thrashed against her bonds.  Her pussy spurted girl come and
she felt both her inner thighs soaked, almost to the knees.

A sinful smile spread across Kate's face.

Jenna felt weak.  Her tremors had not yet subsided, yet she felt her
arousal accelerate again.  As she gathered her wits about her she
realized that someone was playing with her pussy, dragging their
fingers through her silky blonde pubic hair and rubbing their fingers
against her dripping slit.  Her eyes shot open and she saw Alan still
standing in front of her, so by simple process of elimination it was
Kate diddling her.  Just the thought of it made her want to vomit, but
her body was betraying her, and she felt unable to control her
reactions, wiggling her butt against Kate's probing fingers.

"Uh, ugh UGH UHUHUHUH!" she screamed, her voice echoing off the stone
walls of her cell as she approached her peak.  Kate withdrew her hand
and Jenna slumped against the hide cover of the sawhorse, whimpering
in frustration.

"Did she thank me for number five?" Kate asked with an arched eyebrow.

"No, Mistress Kate, she most certainly did not."

Black leather obscured her vision as she was at last able to pry her
eyelids open.  Without bidding her kissed it, slobbering all over the
smooth surface.  "Thank you, Mistress Kate," she hissed between
kisses.

"Why are you thanking her, little lying slave?" Alan asked, his voice
hard.

"For punishing me, Master Alan."

"And why are you being punished, slave?" Kate asked, gripping her by
the hair to look her in the face.

"B-b-b-because I've been bad," she said with a gulp.  Salty tears slid
down her pretty face and into her mouth, her mouth she was unable to
close to her continued panting.

"And how was it that you were bad, slave?" Alan asked quietly.

"I was going to accuse you of rape, and Mistress Kate of being a
lesbian," she whimpered.

"So being a lesbian is an accusation?" Kate asked the bound girl,
outrage clear in her tone.

"It's disgusting," she whined, quickly adding, "Mistress Kate."  She
opened her eyes as she heard them move about her.  Before she knew
what was happening each of them were unlocking her wrists.  She felt
like a used-up rag doll, unresisting as they each took one of her arms
and led her a few steps away from the sawhorse.  In mere seconds she
was on her hands and knees on the damp stone floor of the dungeon,
each wrist anchored to a peg set in the floor.  Alan put similar
cuffs on her ankles, and she offered no opposition as he attached
these to another pair of pegs.

* * *

Alan decided to awaken Kate first.  She was confused and disoriented,
but he used his powers to allay her concerns.  He instructed her to
retrieve her gear from the closet and don the dominatrix outfit.  She
was excited, never having an opportunity to wear it as yet.  Together
they undressed the unconscious blonde, and Alan let Kate have the
honor of snapping the collar closed around Jenna's neck.  The split
duties when it came time to put the cuffs on her, Alan handling the
ankle set, Kate the wrists.

* * * 

The room began to change subtly as she scanned around.  The walls
became less blurry.  As she looked up at Alan she noticed over his
shoulder that a poster of Rene Magritte's "The Betrayal of Images" was
tacked to the stone wall.  Jenna found that curious, because the same
poster, a painting of a pipe with the legend "Ceci n'est pas une pipe"
scripted at the bottom, also hung on Kate's wall, right over her desk.
 The lines between this dream and reality were smudging, and it was
starting to make her even more upset.

As these disturbing thoughts coursed through her brain she abruptly
realized that the scene was continuing to shift; no longer, she
realized, was she bound to pegs on the floor.  The walls surrounding
her were still wet stone, but she was now half on a bed, her wrist
cuffs clamped to the metal frame.  The bed was identical to the one
she slept in, and she was startled to comprehend that she was now
bound to Kate's.

She blinked.  The walls changed.

She blinked.  The torches were gone, the room now illuminated by the
overhead lights and the lamp on Kate's desk.

She blinked again.  All trace of the dungeon was gone.  She was in
Kate's room, she was sure.  It had been a dream.

She sighed in relief and closed her eyes, happy the nightmare was
over.

"So, my little lying slave, you are awake?"

The shock of hearing those words jolted her and she tried to stand up.
 To her horror she realized she really was tied to the bed.  She was
naked.  She felt a collar around her neck, and she could feel the
leash resting centered on her back.  She tried to shift position,
rattling the cuffs on her wrists against the bed frame.  Her knees dug
into the bare floor, and she could feel the moisture drip slowly down
her inner thighs.

Her ass hurt, like she had been--"Ohmigod! NO!" her mind screamed "It
was just a dream.  This can't be true!  This cannot be
happening!"--spanked.  She wriggled in her bonds, her chest rubbing
against the bedspread.  The coolness of the room was soothing against
the overwarm skin on her butt.  Kate walked into her line of vision,
and she gasped as she saw Kate was wearing the dungeon apparel like in
the dream.

"Please just let this be more of the dream," she thought.

"If you will it, it is no dream," Alan said from behind her.

She was shocked, it was like he could read her mind!  She tried to
kick back at him, but to her dread she realized that her ankles were
shackled as well, the bond connected to each other by a short length
of chain.  (She figured this out by the tinkling sound made when she
tried to attack him.)

"What did you say?" Jenna asked, bewildered.

"If you will it, it is no dream," he repeated.

Kate arched her eyebrows, amused.  She came over to him and whispered,
"What in god's name are you chattering about?"

"It's a line from a movie.  The Big Lebowski."

She giggled.

Jenna shivered despite the warmth of the room.  Alan picked up the
paddle from the desk, and Jenna flinched when she felt him rub it over
the flesh of her ass.

"P-please," she begged.

"Why are you being punished?" Kate asked, her voice sharp.

"Please," she cried.

"Master Alan," Kate said, nodding towards Jenna's upturned butt.

SMACK.

"Why are you being punished?" she repeated.

"Be-because I was bad," she whimpered.

"And what happens to little slaves who've been bad?"

"They get punished, Mistress Kate, they get spanked."

SMACK.

She gasped aloud at the sting but she could feel her slit moistening
again, droplets wetting her thighs.

"Thank your Master," Kate instructed.  "Thank him for taking the time
and trouble to punish you, you little liar."

"Thank, ah ah ah, you," she gasped out as she trembled.

"How many more, do you think, Mistress Kate?" Alan asked through his
grin.

She shared his smile while she considered the situation.  "Hmmm, well
she has been bad, hasn't she?"  Jenna quivered as Kate debated with
herself.  "Hmm, but it's just her first time, so I figure two more. 
Sound about right?"

Kate ordered Jenna to count off the two remaining swats and thank her
Master for both, and she complied.  After that Kate released Jenna
from the shackles, rubbing her wrists and ankles to help get the
circulation flowing.  When at last she was free Jenna dropped to her
knees and hugged Kate around her waist, crying and thanking her new
Mistress.  Kate stroked the girl's hair gently, consoling as the
blonde got the shakes out of her system.

"It's going to be OK, little slave, I promise," Kate assured, and
Jenna looked up at her with a look an admixture of fear, arousal, joy,
and submission.  Kate pulled her up and sat her on the bed, allowing
her to use a small blanket around her shoulders to keep the shivers
away, and Jenna was profoundly grateful.

"Where are my clothes?"

Kate took her by the chin and kissed her lightly on her lips.  "Don't
worry your pretty little head about that, little slave," Kate assured,
kissing her again.

And she didn't.

She could hear Alan move about the room, doing things, but she didn't
have the will to raise her eyes, which were fast on her hands folded
in her lap, to see what he was doing.  He had obviously turned on the
heat, because she felt the room warm, and heard the rattle and hum of
the unit kicking to life.  Still, she shivered slightly.  Kate held
her tight, her arm slipping under the small blanket, and if Jenna had
the energy to be startled by anything she would have been startled to
realize that she was enjoying the touch of the dominant girl; she
purred quietly as Kate massaged her.

"Are you OK, hon?" Kate asked, her mouth inches from Jenna's ear.

The blonde nodded, and Kate repositioned them so that Jenna was on her
lap and she herself was half-reclined against her pillows, her hands
lightly caressing Jenna's belly and hips.  "She has a really nice
body," Kate judged.  Jenna was firm of flesh with small perky breasts.
 Her stomach was flat, and her body tight, unlike Kate's own curvy
form.  The blonde shivered as Kate lazily stroked her flesh.

She recoiled slightly, fearful as Alan sat at the edge of the bed
right before her, and began to tremble as she watched him place a hand
on her knee; the leather paddle rested across his lap, and she stared
at it with immense dread.  Kate took this as a signal to continue, and
Jenna gasped when she felt Kate's fingers ruffle through her golden
thatch.  Her head began to shake as Kate masturbated her, signaling
her objection to this handling, and she fought the pleasurable
sensations in order to speak.

"No!" she hissed, "P-p-please Kate.  Don't do that."

"Doesn't it feel good?" Kate whispered, her mouth less than an inch
from the trembling girl's ear.  She gave it a slow lick around the
perimeter for punctuation.

"It's wrong.  It's wrong." Jenna cried as she bucked to and fro,
trying to shake herself loose from Kate's soft embrace.  In response
Kate tightened her arms around Jenna, and her free hand seized one of
the girl's nipples, pinching it hard.

"Ow! Shit!  That hurts!" she cried as Kate began to twist the nipple. 
The hand massaging her pussy picked up speed, and despite the
discomfort of her chest her arousal accelerated.

"Kate, please, stop tha--"

The hand at her pussy shot up and now Kate began abusing both her
breasts, and the pain silenced her long enough for Kate to speak. 
"That's three times, just now, Slave Jenna, that you have failed to
address me by my proper title."

To Jenna's relief Kate ceased to pinch and twist, and instead began to
lovingly stroke her nipples and breasts, and it felt divine, at the
very least in comparison, uncomfortable as she was with the situation.
"I'm sorry, Mistress Kate."  Her pale face was wet with tears.

"We must punish you for that," Alan put in, his right hand closing
around the handle of the black leather paddle.

"No, please Master, please Mistress, I will do anything."

"We will hold you to that, slave," Kate murmured in her ear, licking
it again.

A flurry of movement; Jenna's languid mind could barely keep up as she
was repositioned and Kate and Alan took there places.  She was now
kneeling on a small throw rug in the middle of Kate's room, her wrist
cuffs clipped together behind her back.

Kate stood before her, her eyes fierce. "You called Scarlet very bad
names."

"I'm s-sorry Mist--"

"No slave, don't speak, just listen."  Jenna shivered and nodded. 
"Scarlet is you Mistress's friend, and a beautiful person."

Jenna nodded, and Kate continued, "Just because she takes pleasure in
the touch of another woman doesn't make her any less of a person than
anyone else."  Kate reached to the snaps on either side of the
waistband of her black leather bikini undies, and they fluttered to
the ground between the high gloss leather boots.

"Pick them up, slave," her mistress demanded.  Jenna struggled to get
free of the cuffs which had her arms pinned behind her.

"How do you expect--"

SHWISH.  The end of the riding crop came down and struck her left
nipple, and Jenna bit back a scream; it wasn't that bad, compared to
how Kate had twisted it, and in fact Jenna sort of liked the way it
was tingling, the aftereffect of pain as the hurt receded.

"Don't be stupid, slave," Kate said, her words clipped.  Jenna
understood and bend over and took the panties between her teeth.  With
a big effort she righted herself back into the kneeling position.

One of Kate's hands patted her head like one would an obedient pet,
and the other took the panties from her lips, handing the to Alan. 
She felt so humiliated, but she realized, again to her horror, that
this whole scene was arousing her.  It was then she realized that
Kate's vagina was void of hair, and though she was slightly revolted
she could not stop staring at it, and a small part of her brain
wondered what her pussy would look like bald.  She shuddered.

And now the smell was affecting her.  She knew what that smell was,
she knew from long experience lying awake in her dark bedroom back
home, and her dorm room here.  She had always had a healthy sex drive,
and she got herself off almost every night, though only once in a
while cleaning the wetness from her fingers in her own mouth.  She
liked the taste each time she did so, bit always had tried to resist
the temptation, hating herself when she gave in, thinking it belied
homosexual tendencies she wanted more than ever to eradicate from
within herself.

She was terrified, her worst nightmare coming true.  She knew that
Kate would demand her mouth on the bare pussy, and she knew she would
be helpless to resist, not only because she feared the paddle and the
crop, but because her own lust would get the better of her.  She
realized she wanted to taste that.  She believe she wasn't attracted
to girls, but as the aroma invaded her nose and brain, she knew she
was at the very least attracted to the taste, to the smell.  Her eyes
itched, and she become conscious of the fact that she hadn't blinked
in far too long, so she did, but her stare was fixed on Kate's exposed
flesh.  It wasn't until Alan spoke (and even then, she was so
concentrated that his words meant nothing to her) that she remembered
he was still with them.

"Yes, Alan, she does seem interested.  Isn't that right, slave?  You
like my pussy?"

"Yessssssss."

SWISH!  Her other nipple now stung.

"What?!?" she cried, but quickly saw her mistake.  "Sorry, Mistress,"
she mumbled.

"Better," Kate said.  "What do you like about my pussy, slave?"

"It-it-it smells nice, Mistress."

"You like the smell, huh?"

"Yes...Mistress."  She was glad she hadn't forgotten again, but it was
close.

"Do you like how it looks, slave?"

"Yes, Mistress, it's very pretty, smooth."

"What about how it tastes?  Do you like how it tastes, slave?"

"I-I-I don't know, Mistress."

Alan stood next to Kate, and he dipped a finger in the shaved pussy. 
Kate sighed in delight as he stirred his finger around her insides. 
He withdrew his digit and held it in front of Jenna's mouth, but to
their surprise Jenna clamped her lips shut, her head shaking from side
to side.  If the wanted to taste that they would have to spank her, or
whip her with the crop, she decided defiantly.  She refused to be a
willing participant in tasting another woman's juices.  Despite this
resistance she was unable to look at anything other than Kate's moist
hairless slit, or Alan's fingers, shiny with those juices, but she
remained steadfast.

"That's funny," Alan said to Kate.

"What is?"

"Well, our little slave here really gets off on the taste of her own
pussy," Alan explained as Jenna cringed, "So I'm just surprised that
she wouldn't want to taste yours."

As Jenna's jaw dropped as a result of the revelation Alan quickly
pushed his finger past her lips.  She tried to bite down hard, hurt
him bad so he would retreat, but to her alarm she merely closed her
lips around it instead, and began to suck Kate's stickiness off him. 
Alan pulled his finger out slowly, amused that Jenna pursed her lips
around it trying to keep him from escaping.  He scanned her thoughts
and found she was much more comfortable submitting herself to him than
to Kate.

"It tasted good, didn't it, Jenna?" he asked.  He called her by name
intentionally, trying to throw her off guard.  It would be interesting
to see how she reacted to his calling her Jenna, and Kate referring to
her as a slave.

"Um hm," the cowering blonde nodded as she responded.

"Would you like more, Jenna?"

She nodded, embarrassed to admit she did, ashamed that she enjoyed
having Alan's finger in her mouth.  She watched in with dread as Kate
inched her crotch closer to her face, and wanted to protest, wanted to
ask him to get more of the tasty juices with his finger and feed her,
and her stomach heaved as Kate pressed her shiny slit against her
lips.  She kept her mouth shut for almost a half minute, but the smell
was so seductive, sweet and maddening.  Her resistance crumbling, she
felt her tongue pass through her closed lips and wiggle in Kate's sex,
and soon thereafter she was licking all around, trying her best to
gather all the juices secreted.  She could feel Kate tremble with
excitement, and she was please with herself for doing a good job.

Kate was panting when she pulled Jenna away from her gooey center, and
the kneeling coed looked up with her at fear.  Kate understood that
Jenna was afraid she had failed to please her Mistress, so she patted
her on the head again, and Jenna's eyes relaxed at the implied praise.

"What are you?"

Jenna knew how to respond right away; it was not for nothing that she
had gained admission to such a good college.  "Slave, Mistress," she
whispered.

"You just licked me out.  What does that make you?"

Jenna shut her eyes as tears ran down her cheeks.  "Don't make me say
it, Mistress, please?"

"You liked licking me out, I can tell.  So, that makes you a lez, a
dyke, a rug muncher, if I had a rug to munch, that is."

"NO!" she gasped.  "No, you made me!  Tied me up!  I didn't want
to..."

Alan leaned behind her and unbound her hands.  Kate removed the collar
and the leash.  Jenna sighed with relief.  "It's over.  It's over. 
It's over," she thought with glee, though not daring to move an inch
without their by or leave.  She rolled her head around, grateful to be
able to move it at last, and she rubbed her wrists as Alan removed the
ankle cuffs.  She stood after he tapped her shoulder, her eyes darting
over the room to find her clothes, hungry for escape.  When she turned
towards the bed she saw Kate reclined against some pillows, her ass up
to the edge, feet flat on the floor.

"Kate, where are my clo--"

But she was cut off, both by Kate's harsh tone, and the fascinating
vision of seeing Kate caressing her denuded crotch with the flapped
tip of the crop.  "Come over here and lick my pussy, finish what you
started."

As she fell to her knees and bustled towards the bed and Kate's wet
slit she appreciated the fact that she was unbound and Kate hadn't
called her a slave.  Just as her face was within a few inches of
Kate's pussy, Alan stopped her.

"Why?"

"What?  I don't understand...Master?"

"Why are you about to go down on her?  Did she order you?  Are you
tied up?  Is she forcing you?  And you can drop the `Master' for now."

"N-no..."  She looked up at him, and didn't see the paddle.  Kate had
stashed the crop behind her under the pillows, and it was now
similarly out of sight.  She looked back at Kate, and recognized that
despite her prejudices, she wanted this.  Badly.  Her own pussy was
drenched, she could feel little drops of her own nectar clinging to
her bush and sliding down her thighs.  She had never been this
aroused.  She leaned in again attempting to bury her face in Kate, but
he held her, frustrated her.

"Why?"

"B-because I want to!" she groaned, lunging at Kate, burying her lips
and tongue in the puffy flesh.

"Good girl, good girl," Kate moaned as she played with the blonde mane
at her waist.  She pulled on the hair gently, not enough to hurt, or
even to move Jenna's mouth off her pussy, but just enough to expose
the kneeling girl's neck so Alan could reattach the collar.  Jenna
groaned as she felt it snap closed around her, sending delightful
sensations tingling up her Mistress's spine.  She groaned again as
Alan gave her a few light slaps with the paddle, driving both girls to
orgasm.

She lifted her mouth off Kate's pussy, licking around her mouth to
capture the juices covering her face, shivering with satisfaction. 
She heard Alan address her from behind, but her mid was still
swimming.

He repeated the question.  "Why?"

"Because I liked it."  Her mid rocked at the recognition that she did
indeed enjoy this.  He slapped her again with the paddle, and she
added, "Eek!  Master!"

Kate was going down on her as she laid flat on her back, and she
panted with arousal.  She could feel something pressing at her lips.
something warm, something hard, something huge.  Both her eyelids and
her lips popped open as Alan pressed his erection into her mouth, and
she was proud as he groaned aloud as she began to play with his cock
with her lips and tongue.  Kate was driving her mad with the sucking
and licking, and her ministrations with the end Alan's cock--a cock so
large she had to cross her eyes to see fully down the
shaft--accelerated.  As her groans transformed into feral grunts it
took supreme effort on her part to not let him escape from her jaws,
but she managed.  As she writhed on the bed in the most enormous
climax yet this evening he spurted a prodigious blast, and she did her
best to take it all, but there was far too much. Semen escaped from
the corners of her mouth as she at last released him, screaming so
loud she worried the whole hall would hear, not knowing there was no
chance of that happening thanks to Alan's abilities.

She felt at once sluggish and stimulated, and offered no resistance as
her two dominants rearrange her on the bed.  Alan was now reclining,
Kate on top, slowly bobbing up and down on his immense erection,
screaming out her passion as he fucked her to orgasm after orgasm
while Jenna licked at their joining as she had been directed.  After a
slew of climaxes Jenna was now right on Kate's hairless pussy as the
black haired girl continued to scream as she bobbed now, her ass
impaled.

It when on for more than an hour, the positions and the level of
arousal entirely new to the new slave girl.  She screamed so loud she
thought she would have a sore throat the next morning as Alan fucked
her from behind as Kate rubbed her clit with gentle fury.

"PLEASE MASTER ALAN!  FUCK ME!  FUCK YOUR LITTLE SLAVE!  COOOOOMING! 
COMING!  COMING!  COMING!  COMING!" she shouted at the end as she felt
him spill himself in her wildly undulating pussy.

She passed out.

When she awoke she was startled to find herself in her own bed, lying
atop the covers, Alan and Kate  at the edge of her mattress.  Kate
cleaned her face and groin with a warm washcloth.

"How did I get--" she croaked, her throat throbbing, her mouth dry

"Shush,"  Kate ordered, holding a bottle of water to her mouth.  It
was one of those sports bottle, the kind with a hard nipple at the
end, and she blushed, remembering spending much effort licking and
sucking Kate's hard and ringed nipples, but she was grateful her
Mistress was taking care of her.

Alan stroked her yellow mane as he forced commands into her mind.  She
would not speak if Scarlet's orientation to anyone.  He had mined her
memories and was relieved to see she hadn't already revealed anything
yet.  She would be submissive to Kate, and , to a lesser extent, him. 
He didn't shackle her mind so that she wouldn't be able to speak about
this night.  He wanted to see if she would have the courage to talk
about it.

"Almost time for bed, sweet slave," Kate said, withdrawing the bottle,
but leaving it within reach.

"Thank you, Mistress," Jenna mumbled as best she could.  "Please,
blanket."

"Just one last thing," Kate said.

Jenna opened her sleepy eyes, but couldn't react at all when Kate
reached into the pocket of the her robe and took out a small dildo
with a notch near the end, a small perpendicular handle right at the
top.  Without outward expression she cringed as Kate lubed it with a
small amount of jelly and brought it to her crotch.  She did manage a
gasp as she felt it against her rear pucker, and she shook in terror,
clenching as hard as she could to prevent the anal invasion.  Alan put
his hands on her blonde muff, casually exploring her mound.  She let
out a tired breath and relaxed, but this ran counter to her position,
as Kate used now had a much easier time inserting the plug up her
butt.  When it was securely in place, her ring of flesh tight around
the notch she let out a small breath.  It didn't hurt, yet it didn't
feel good.  It was weird, but strangely sexy.  It made her wonder
again how a cock, a cock like Alan's, would feel back there, thought
she had first encountered watching Kate thrash in ecstasy as Alan did
her back there.

"One last thing before we leave, slave."

Jenna pricked up her ears, concentrating though the overwhelming
fatigue.

"You are not allowed to remove the plug.  If you have the need, you
must come and see me."

Jenna nodded, and drifted off.

* * *

Alan held Kate as she drifted off.  He was not too tired, and he
extricated himself shortly thereafter and sat at the desk and studied.
 He would slip back in before she awoke.

* * *

The junior diplomat stood at the arrival gate.  Though he had never
heard of the passenger, he had his orders.  The man was traveling with
full diplomatic protections, and should be accorded deference at a
ministerial level.  He was told that this man would be the first of
the flight.

To his surprise the man coming down the jetway looked more like a holy
man than a politician, but he wasn't paid to be caught off guard, so
he buried the thought.  He reached for the man's carry on bag, and the
man allowed him to take it.

"Arigato," he said with a weary voice.

"WELCOME TO JOHN F. KENNEDY INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT," the sign overhead
said in huge letters.
