Part 45 (2/2)

”Go on. Close them.”

She collapsed herself in agony. The movement of her legs causing more pain to shoot up from the center of her. Tears rolled unheeded down her face and down her bare defenseless body.

I reached above her, half expecting a kick but not getting one. I wouldn't have blamed the girl if she had aimed a weak kick at me. But she knew better anyway. I pulled the knot out holding her handcuffs to the tether to the ceiling. Her legs were unable to support herself. She collapsed to the floor in a heap. Her bound hands immediately between her legs. Curled up in a ball on the floor weeping. At her pain. At her humiliation. At her complete vulnerability. That she'd suffered so much for such a simple transgression.

I glanced up and saw Jane rocking on her knees, like a terrier pulling at her chain. She looked at me, catching my eye. ”Please?” she mouthed.

I moved over to her and released her hands from the handcuffs. As soon as she was free, the bare girl shot forward on her hands and knees like a rabbit. Pulling Amy into her arms and rocking her. Soothing her. Stroking the girl's hair. Trying her best to comfort the shaking woman. Mothering her.

I whispered in Jane's ear. ”Make sure she's alright. I was a bit rough on her.”

”I'll say.”

”Just take care of her. I'll get out of your way.”

”She'll survive. She won't be masturbating for a while though.” Jane had managed to keep some humour at least through this. Her emeralds reflecting the colour of Amy's hair as she sobbed and Jane's fingers slipped through her locks. It wasn't the first time she'd had to take care of a woman I'd punished. Jane always managed to keep her head when she was going to be needed. Amy was in good hands.

Chapter 99.

I turned away from the tortured girl and crouched down beside Christi.

”You f.u.c.king b.a.s.t.a.r.d,” she almost spat at me.

”I know. I know. She was getting willful again. I had to stop her before she got out of hand again and I really had to punish her.”

”She's just a girl for Christ sakes. She didn't deserve that. n.o.body deserves that. No matter what you think she did.”

”Bet she tattles next time.”

”Christ. I guess so. Have to remember not to tell her any of my secrets.”

”I guess.”

”She'll be alright won't she?”

”Yeah. She'll hurt for a few hours. But there won't be any lasting damage.”

”There will be. It just won't be physical, you f.u.c.khead.”

”Christi? You are never going to get used to this, are you?”

”If I do. Shoot me.”

”I don't blame you for being angry.”

”That's very f.u.c.king big of you. Jesus Christ. What is it with you today? I mean. We didn't do anything to deserve this. We've tried. Our G.o.dd.a.m.n best. To do what you want. Why?”

”She stepped over the line,” I gently told the upset girl. ”Her actions were tantamount to attacking me. You know that ain't allowed. I have to punish that. Or the next thing I know all of you will be attacking me and I'll eventually have to really hurt someone to stop it.”

”We are people. Human beings. Please. I don't want to be treated like that.”

”I know you don't, sweetheart. And if you behave, you won't be.”

”I don't want to live like this.”

”Sweety, you don't have a choice.”

”Don't I know it.” The tears began to fall from her eyes. Her whole body shaking as she knelt. Quietly sobbing.

I let her cry for a minute and then leaned forward and kissed her forehead gently. ”Come on. Let's make life a little better for you. Okay?”

”What are you going to make me do now?”

”Get dressed. How's that?”

She closed her eyes. Trying to will away the tears.

”Why me?” she finally asked. Her eyes finding mine.

”Because you've been cooperative and you've been around the longest.”

”Oh. I've almost gotten used to being nude. I don't even remember what clothes feel like.”

I smiled at her.

”So, what are you going to let me wear? Lingerie?” She made a face. It looked like her cry had loosened her up a bit. Not nearly as upset now.

”Actually, I was thinking something a bit more casual.”

”Casual?”

”Yeah. What kind of jeans you normally wear?”

”Levi's. But ...”

”But?”

”If you want me in good jeans, I wouldn't mind trying some of those Guess Jeans. This store doesn't carry Levi's.” Female to the core.

”You shop here?”

”I've been in here before.” Her tears had dried up. She was consciously trying to avoid the sight of Amy curled up with Jane, trying to ease her pain. Try to concentrate on what I wanted. Avoid any punishment.
