Part 39 (1/2)

”No.”

”You'll just leave me alone?” Her face registered incomprehension. At last, her eyes lit up with understanding. ”You'll hurt Nicole until I have s.e.x with you?”

”I won't hurt her anymore either. I told you. Jane or Christi are there if I need release.”

”I said I'd f.u.c.k you and I will. I don't go back on my promises. If you want it, I'm here.” She looked at me defiantly. Her hands pulling at the cuffs behind her.

”Kathleen. Sweetheart. You can go back on this one. I just whipped the h.e.l.l out of you. Forced you into lesbian acts. Hurt you. Threatened you. You would have said anything to make it stop.”

”I would have done anything to avoid it in the first place. You didn't have to whip me,” she said accusingly.

”I know. You are a smart girl.”

”Why did you whip me?”

”Because I enjoyed it.”

”You enjoyed me hurting? Screaming?”

”Yes. I enjoyed watching you naked and squirming and begging.”

”At least it wasn't for nothing,” she remarked caustically. ”Why? Why does hurting a defenseless, vulnerable girl turn you on?”

”I don't know. Just in my nature.”

”Is it possible to like being hurt? And abused?” she asked quietly.

”I think so. But I imagine it's rare. Christi said you were ready for her.”

”You mean the s.e.x afterwards?”

”Yeah.”

”I was wet.”

”Why?”

”Maybe my body just reacted to the pain. Found some way of turning it into something more pleasurable. I didn't like the whipping if that is what you are thinking. I'd even f.u.c.k you to avoid it again. Please. Just f.u.c.k me and get it over with.”

”How about Christi?”

”She's very attractive. You want me to do her as well?”

”You don't mind s.e.x with girls.” A statement.

”Not really. I liked it then. I climaxed. It wasn't a fake. But I was pretty screwed up. The pain. It still hurts. I've never been with a girl before, if that's what you are asking. I just want this to end. Please.” This girl had regained her calm. Almost distant. Distancing herself from the things happening to her.

One mystery solved. In the very least she was bis.e.xual. And not embarra.s.sed about it.

”Come on. I'll take you back. Release you.”

”You don't want s.e.x?”

”Sure I do. But you really don't. I'll get my relief later.”

”Thank you. I would have f.u.c.ked you, you know. Even without the cuffs and the threats.” She rattled the chain behind her. ”I promised and I would have. I wouldn't have tried to kill you until after we'd finished.” She actually managed to flash me a smile.

I led her back to the tether. I reached up and released Christi and Jane. They both wore big expressions of confusion. Not having a clue what had just happened. Not understanding why I hadn't forced her to have s.e.x with me. I wasn't quite sure why I hadn't either.

Chapter 95.

I moved Christi and Jane off to the side where they stood quietly. s.h.i.+fting their weight a bit uncomfortably.

I turned to Kathleen. I released her wrists. I watched as a quick thought of escape or revenge flashed past her blue eyes. She took a deep breath and lowered her eyes.

”What do you want me to do now?” she inquired quietly.

”Just go give Nicole a hug.”

”Excuse me?”

”Just go give your cousin a hug. She's pretty upset over there.”

Wonder crossed her delicate features as she limped over to where Nicole was still standing. Her topless body slumped in her bonds, but she hadn't quite fallen yet. Her feet bound apart. Her marked b.r.e.a.s.t.s heaving as she sobbed. Her handcuffed wrists hung in front of her. With the weight of Jane and Christi removed from the other end of the tether, Nicole had lowered her arms, raising the other pair of handcuffs a few extra feet in the air at the other end of the rope.

Kathleen wrapped her free arms around Nicole. Hugging her. Breast to breast. Not caring about her nudity. Stroking Nicole's hair and whispering to her. The two girls crying together.

I turned to Christi and Jane, gathering up their swinging leashes.

”You are going to let them go aren't you?” Christi asked softly.

I nodded. Still lightly holding the nude girls by their leashes, I turned to the two cas.h.i.+ers.

”Good-bye Kathleen.”

The nearly naked girl turned her head, still holding her friend and cousin. Tears still tracked down her cheeks. A brief look of confusion crossed her features.

”Good-bye,” she whispered. Perhaps expecting to be shot.

I narrowed the time continuum around her and her cousin. Joining them together in their embrace. Allowing them to fall out of time, rematerializing back by their cash registers. Their bodies undamaged. Their uniforms back on them. Completely unaware of the torture that they had endured.

I released Christi's leash. Not even needing to tell her what to do. She slowly moved around the area, picking up the stray cuffs, ropes and whips. Returning them to the pack.

Her eyes lowered, she finally picked up the pack and walked back over to Jane and I. Pressing her leash back into my hand.

I guided the quiet girls back upstairs. They walked ahead of me, free except for their collars. Their bare bodies looking almost dejected.
