Captured! by soleil (c) (sonsoleil@hotmail.com) Part One Sarah huddled against the wall, knees drawn up to her chest. The concrete floor was cold and hard, and she could feel rocks and pebbles digging into her ass through the thin fabric of her shorts. She was tired and frightened, as were the others who sat by her, backs pressed against the wall, heads down, as instructed. There were four of them, two men, two women. They were part of a singles holiday group - offered the choice between visiting yet another museum or spending a last afternoon on the beach before flying home, they'd chosen sand and sun. Now, they were nothing more than captives, snatched off the isolated, idyllic beach by three balaclava-wearing men. Dressed only in light clothing, their hands were bound behind their backs and then they were frog-marched through the jungle to a damp, dark hut, far from civilization. And they still didn't know why. Not daring to look up, Sarah strained her ears to hear the whispered conversation taking place at the other side of the room. Their captors were discussing something amongst themselves; their attention was momentarily diverted. Out of the corner of her eye, Sarah saw movement and realised John, closest to the door out of all of them, was shuffling toward it on his ass in a valiant effort to escape. Sarah didn't know him well, but she knew he was game for anything. She held her breath as she watched him, he was almost there, and though their hands were bound, their legs weren't. If he got away, he could run, run for help. Silently, she urged him on, willing him to escape. Then, movement from the other side of the room. With a sinking heart, Susan realised John had been spotted and one of their captors, the leader, moved swiftly to intercept him. John howled in pain as the man brought one of his boots down hard on his foot, grinding it mercilessly into the concrete. Sarah and her companions gasped in horror at the sound of splintering bone as John's toes broke. Then, a swift kick to the ribs and John doubled over in agony, winded from the blow. Hauling him up by the armpits, the man threw John back against the wall as if he were a feather. Then, he turned to face the rest of them, his eyes icy behind the balaclava. "Don't fucking try it again. That goes for all of you. You'll do what you're told, when you're told to do it. If not, you'll suffer the consequences." Sarah was sickened by what they'd just witnessed, and felt a hot rage boil up as the man stood before them, glaring down at them. Like his companions, he was dressed in khaki pants and a close fitting black T-shirt. Black boots, laced, and a black balaclava. His gun was jammed almost casually into the waistband of his pants, and he had a knife tucked into a sheath. An aura of quiet menace surrounded him. Sarah didn't care. "Bastard," she snapped, her lip curled in disgust as she looked up at him. "Is this how you get your kicks? Kidnapping and bashing people, just for the hell of it? Why did you bring us here? Bastards." Sarah spat at the man before her, coating his the toe of his boot with saliva. "Sarah, be quiet!" hissed Rob, who was sitting next to her. "You'll get us all in trouble, look at John!" "I don't care," said Sarah. "They're nothing but spineless thugs. Fucking cowards." She spat again, hitting the other one of the man's boots. The other men crossed the room to join their leader. "She's a feisty one, isn't she?" one of them said, sneering at the group. "You want me to teach her a lesson?" "Shut up. I'll deal with this," the leader replied, steel in his voice. Addressing the shorter of his two companions, he said "You watch the door. Anyone moves, stop them." Turning to the other, he directed him to tie the ankles of the captives together with lengths of rope. "But don't tie hers," he said, pointing at Sarah. I'll take care of her." The hairs on the back of Sarah's neck stood up as the man approached her, boots crunching on the floor. Reaching down, he grabbed a fistful of Sarah's hair, wrenching her head up so her eyes met his. "Stupid bitch," he said quietly, his voice hard and his eyes cold. "Stupid, silly bitch. I warned you, didn't I? I told you you'd all pay the consequences for fucking with me. Actually," he said, almost thoughtfully, "I've decided you'll pay the consequences. Just you. Right here, in front of everyone." Sarah squirmed in an effort to get free. "You're hurting me," she said, wincing as he pulled her hair. "Hurting you? I haven't even fucking started. Get up, cunt." Climbing unsteadily to her feet, the man's hand still tangled painfully in her hair, Sarah stood, shivering with fear. Leaning in close to her, the man spoke quietly and deliberately in her ear. "I'm going to untie your hands, and you're going to strip for us, do you understand? You're going to strip down to your bra and panties, and then we'll see whether I'll hurt you or not. Okay?" He fumbled for the knots that tied her, and released her hands. Sarah was horrified. Strip? He was going to make her strip? She flushed red with embarrassment. "Please don't make me do that," she begged. "I'm sorry I spat on you. Really, I am. I was worried for John, and we're all tired and frightened. I'm sorry," she said helplessly. When it came, the slap across her face was unexpected and snapped Sarah's head back, leaving her dazed and rattled. The crack echoed through the room, and the other prisoners stared in shock. "I don't give a fuck if you're sorry. I don't give a fuck if you're tired and scared. The only thing I give a fuck about is seeing you do what you're told," the man hissed, tracing the red of his hand print across her skin with his fingers. "So, fucking do it. We're waiting." Crying now, Sarah lifted her shirt over her head, and wriggled awkwardly out of her shorts. Standing there in her bra and panties before everyone, she crossed her arms over her breasts in an effort to preserve some dignity. "On your knees, bitch," he ordered, kicking away her clothes. "On your knees, and lick my boots. Clean up that shit you spat on me. Do a good job, or you'll regret it." Whimpering, Sarah sank to her knees and did as she was told. His boots were dusty, and she grimaced as she licked her dried saliva from the steel capped toes. He laughed as she licked, enjoying her humiliation. As she knelt over his feet, he suddenly surprised her by pushing her backwards with his foot, and she fell awkwardly on her back, her head hitting the hard floor. Stunned, she lay on the ground in a jumble of arms and legs as he loomed over her. "Good, but not good enough," he snapped, drawing his steel bladed knife. It caught the late afternoon sun, glinting wickedly as he turned it over in his hands. Rob had had enough. "Leave her alone," he said, struggling against his bonds in an effort to get loose to help Sarah. "Just leave her alone, let us go and we won't tell. We'll leave, and we won't say a word. Right, guys?" He turned to the rest of the group, seeking their agreement. The other woman nodded, frozen in fear. John didn't say anything; he was still unconscious in the corner. "You know, if you don't shut your fucking mouth, I'm gonna let my friends here fuck your girlfriend. How about that?" Rob went pale, and Karen, his girlfriend, started crying. Nobody said a word. "We understand each other, then. Good man. Instead, I'm going to fuck her," he said, nudging Sarah with his boot. Sarah looked up at him in terror as his words sank in. "Please, no," she whispered. "Not that. Please, let me go. Please." "Not a chance, babe, not a chance," the kidnapper grinned, squatting down beside her. Sarah flinched as he dragged the blade of the knife lightly over her exposed belly, then up towards her breasts. With a practiced flick of his wrist, the blade cut through her bra, slicing it in half. The fabric fell away, exposing her soft, full breasts. Too frightened to move, Sarah lay helplessly on the cold floor, begging silently for someone to help her. "Spread your legs, slut," he ordered, twisting one of her nipples cruelly. "Knees up, and spread 'em nice and wide for us. My mates and I want to see your cunt before I fuck it." Sarah was really crying now, she couldn't believe what this man was planning on doing to her in front of all these people. Try as she might, she couldn't bring herself to do as he ordered, she just couldn't bring herself to spread her legs like she'd been told. Instead, she gathered all her courage and tried to get to her feet to escape but it was a futile attempt. Knocking her back to the floor with another backhand to her face, her tormentor wrapped his hands around her neck, his thumbs pressing painfully into her throat. "I've just about had enough, bitch," he snarled, his blue eyes blazing into her petrified eyes. "You're making me angry, and you don't want to get me angry. Spread your legs, do it now, do it right now before I really hurt you." Backhanded into submission and choking from the pressure he'd applied to her neck, Sarah did as she was told and spread her legs. Releasing her, he reached for the knife again. "Wider," he snapped, tracing the blade down her naked thigh. "Nice and wide for us, babe. We want to see everything." Sarah complied, tears streaming silently down her face. The other captors stared at her, drinking in her smooth, pale skin and creamy, bare breasts. Flicking her panties with the knife blade, the leader said "Shame these are covering your cunt, right, bitch? We can't see a fucking thing. Gotta fix that." Then he slid the blade between the waistband and her skin, and sliced at her panties. Reaching down, he tore the fabric away from her with one of his large hands, leaving her totally exposed, her legs spread wide and her cunt naked and open. Sarah shivered as he used the tip of the blade to separate the folds of her pussy; if she moved even an inch, he would surely cut her. Laughing, he pressed the tip against her clit, harder, then harder still. Sarah was sure he was going to cut her, she was sure he was going to hurt her. Then, just before he broke the skin, he withdrew the knife and put it away. "Don't want to be cutting you," he remarked, "not yet, anyway. But struggle against me, and I will. It won't be your cunt, either, bitch," he crooned, dragging a finger lightly across her throat. Lying there naked on the cold concrete floor, legs spread, Sarah wished with all her heart she'd kept quiet. This man, this stranger, was going to fuck her and use her like a piece of meat, and she'd never been so scared. With horror, she watched him with wide eyes as he drew his gun from his pants and brought it down close to her face. "Can you see it, bitch?" he demanded, pressing it lightly against her lips. Quivering with absolute terror, Sarah turned her face away from him and the gun. Grabbing her hair again, he pulled her head back around. "Open up, slut," he ordered. "Suck my gun like you'd suck my cock. Now." Flushing with shame, her legs still spread wide and very much aware all eyes in the room were witnessing her humiliation, Sarah's lips formed an "o" around the butt of the gun as she sucked it into her mouth. "Nice," he said, softly, the fingers of his other hand still buried in her hair. "But do you fuck as well as you suck? Get it nice and wet, slut, cos we're about to find out." Taking the gun suddenly from her mouth, he moved down between her spread legs and jammed the butt of the gun against Sarah's pussy. Jerking in a reflex action, Sarah stifled a scream as she felt the cold steel against her sensitive flesh. "You might want to spread your legs wider, slut," he said as he probed her soft folds harshly. "Cos I'm gonna fuck you with this gun, like it or not." Forcing the gun into her reluctant body, he taunted her. "Looks like you didn't get it wet enough... too bad, I did warn you." Sarah writhed with pain as the tip of the gun sank into her cunt; she wasn't wet and her body's natural lubrication had yet to kick in. Sarah realised the other men had come closer to watch what was being done to her, and she closed her eyes in shame as their leader continued to push the barrel gun into her cunt. "Fuck, would you look at that?" one of them commented. "This bitch is loving it!" The gun continued to penetrate her body, her pussy lips opening wide around the cold steel. "Please, that's enough," she begged, but her pleas fell on deaf ears as her tormentor continued to fuck her roughly with the gun, verbally abusing her as he did so. "You like it, slut? he asked, twisting the barrel even more deeply inside her, bruising her delicate folds. "You like being used like the cheap slut you are, here in front of everyone? Not so feisty now," he grunted, as Sarah pleaded with him to stop, begged him not to hurt her any more. "Stop? You want me to stop?" He let go of the gun, but left the barrel buried inside her so the gun hung out of her cunt. "Okay, I'll stop. But only if you tell me what you really want" Sarah looked at him in shocked disbelief. What she really wanted? "I.. I don't understand," she sobbed in confusion. "I just want you to stop, I want you to let me go!" "Wrong answer," he snapped, nudging the gun with his foot to remind her it was still there. "No, baby, what you really want is for to fuck you from behind like the animal you are. That's what you really want, isn't it?" Realizing he'd never leave her alone until she begged him to fuck her, Sarah complied with his demands. "Yes, that's what I want," she moaned, wishing it were over. "Then beg for my cock in your cunt, bitch. Beg me to turn you over and fuck you like some cheap whore. Beg me to use you. Make it good, or I'll get my friends here to fuck you instead. Both of them. They don't require begging." He grinned nastily at her while he waited for her answer. Sarah realised she had no choice. "Please," she whimpered, "Please will you fuck me like a slut from behind? Please, I'm begging you to fuck me, please! I swear I want you to fuck me, please use me." He laughed cruelly as he slid the gun from Sarah's cunt and flipped her onto her front. Her breasts grazed against the floor, tearing her skin so that blood tricked slowly down her cleavage. "You fucking begged for it, bitch. I'm gonna fuck you harder than you've ever been fucked before," he grunted, drawing her hips up so that she was kneeling on all fours in front of him. She heard him unzipping his pants, and tensed as she felt the hardness of his cock pushing against her hole. Slapping her ass sharply, she whimpered softly as he shoved himself into her, penetrating her now wet cunt roughly. Tearing into her ruthlessly, he plunged his cock into her over and over again as she begged him for mercy. He paid no attention to her as fucked her unceremoniously in front of her friends and his friends, her degradation and humiliation plain for everyone to see. He slammed into her again and again, with no thought for her feelings or discomfort. She could see the bulges in the pants of the men in front of her as they watched her getting fucked so hard, and she could feel the fingers of the man behind her kneading the flesh of her ass as he pounded her cunt. Then, in a final act of humiliation, he withdrew his cock from her used pussy and came all over her reddened ass, spilling his cum over her as she lay on the ground, used and bruised. Nudging her with his boot, he said, "Never piss me off again, bitch." ************************************************************************ To be continued :)
Part Two by soleil (c) (sonsoleil@hotmail.com) The next day dawned bright and sunny, contrasting sharply with the dark despair the prisoners felt, still captive in the stony hut. They'd been thrown a few threadbare blankets the night before and Sarah had wrapped hers around her eagerly, desperate to cover her nudity and the shameful evidence of her assault. She awoke to the nudge of a boot in her ribs. Looking up, her eyes focused on the leader of the kidnappers. "Get up, bitch," he ordered. Unsteadily, Sarah stumbled to her feet. Every muscle in her body ached. "Drop the blanket." Compliant now, Sarah did as she was told. Slowly, she let the blanket slide to the floor and she was naked once again. There were gasps of shock from her companions as the extent of her assault became clear. Whistling softly, the kidnapper drew his gun and traced the bruises flaring angrily on Sarah's pale skin. Visible finger marks marked the creamy flesh of her breasts and there were vivid bruises on her cheek where she'd been slapped. The skin of her knees and the palms of her hands were grazed and torn from when she'd been forced to kneel as he fucked her. Her thighs were streaked with dried semen. "Look at you, you dirty slut. You're a fucking mess. What are you?" Unsure of what to say, Sarah didn't respond. Pressing the butt of the gun into the bruises on her breast, he snapped, "Answer me, I'm waiting." "Uh, I'm a mess," she replied hesitantly, sure that wasn't the right answer. "What else?" Realization dawned on Sarah. "Umm, I'm a dirty slut," she said, her face red as she spoke the words. Jamming the gun back in his pants, his hand moved lightening fast as he grabbed a handful of Sarah's hair, pulling her closer to him. His lips close to her ear, he said, "When you speak to me, you'll address me as Sir. Do you understand?" "Yes, Sir," Sarah whispered, humiliated. "So, we'll start again. What are you? Nice and loud, I want everyone to hear you," he grinned. "I'm a dirty slut, Sir. I'm a mess, Sir." "Yes, you are," he agreed, releasing Sarah's hair. "In fact, you're such a dirty, messy little slut I'm gonna allow you to clean up a little. Isn't that kind of me?" "Yes, Sir," said Sarah instantly, though privately she thought he was the furthermost thing from kind she'd ever known. Turning to the others, the leader told one of his buddies to watch Sarah's companions. Motioning to the other, he said, "You and me are gonna take this bitch down to the beach so she can clean up." Sarah's ears pricked up. They were going down to the beach? Maybe someone would see them, and they'd be rescued. Or, perhaps she could escape. She was a strong swimmer - perhaps she could get free that way. Slowly, the little group picked their way through the jungle in single file. It was difficult going - Sarah's hands were bound behind her back once more and every so often, the man bringing up the rear pushed her along as she dropped pace. Sarah had no clothes, of course; they'd been cut off her last night. But she'd been permitted to wear her sandals, though they were flimsy and afforded her little protection. But finally they emerged from the dark greenery, and Sarah reveled in the feeling of the sun on her face. Releasing her hands, S said, " Don't even think about trying to escape. You try anything stupid, and I'll kill you. Understood?" Sarah believed him. "Yes, Sir." She watched as S stripped his shirt off and bent to untie his boots. He left his pants on. Then, ordering his companion to keep look-out on the beach, he pushed Sarah toward the water. "Get in and wash yourself," he snapped. Sarah walked into the ocean, sighing as she felt the cool water wash over her. Then, she winced as the salt stung her cuts and grazes - she really was a mess, she thought. Gingerly, Sarah began washing off the dried blood that stained her body. S was right beside her, watching her like a hawk, never letting her too far from his reach. "Have you washed your cunt, slut?" asked S, softly. "Uh... yes Sir," said Sarah, blushing. "Really? I wonder whether you've done a good job. I wonder whether it's fit for use. Get out, and lie on the shoreline. I want to inspect you. " Fit for use? Sarah thought. What did that mean? Surely he wasn't going to fuck her again; she'd behaved and obeyed all his commands. Nervously, she waded out of the water into the shallows and lay as instructed on her back on the wet sand, the tide just washing over her bare feet. "Soles of your feet together, bitch," he ordered, getting out of the water himself. Sarah obeyed immediately, watching his handsome face harden as he raked his eyes over her. In this position, her legs were spread wide enough so he could see her naked, wet pussy - but it wasn't good enough for him. "Spread your cunt open with your hands. I want to see everything." Humiliated, Sarah reached down and opened herself to him, tears gathering in her eyes as she did so. He squatted down at the base of her feet for a closer look. "How the fuck am I supposed to see if you've cleaned yourself to my satisfaction with all that fucking hair in the way?" Looking up, he called to his mate. "Get my knife, would you?" His companion hurried to do his bidding, leering at Sarah as he passed the knife over. The sun glinted wickedly off the sharp blade, and Sarah shivered in fear. What was he going to do? "Lie still," he said, resting the blade of the knife against the lips of her pussy. "I'd hate to cut you, it will only make it more painful for you when I fuck you again." Sarah closed her eyes tightly as the knife slid over her cunt, razoring through her pubic hair like it was butter. He flicked the knife over her lips with practiced ease, grazing her delicate skin lightly but never once slicing into her. Finally, after what seemed an age, the job was completed to his satisfaction. "That's more like it," he said, leaning back on his haunches to admire his work. "Now I can see whether you're indeed fit for use." Using his thumbs, he spread Sarah's cunt so she was open and gaping. Then, telling her to hold herself open for him, she gasped as he slid two fingers inside her to the knuckles. "Feel good, slut?" he asked, grinning at her. Sarah didn't answer. "I said, does it feel good?" he snapped, forcing his fingers even deeper inside her so the base of his hand met her cunt. "No, Sir," groaned Sarah, because it didn't feel good to be fingered against her will on a beach by a man she didn't know, and in front of a man she didn't know. He withdrew his fingers suddenly, and Sarah whimpered with relief. Was he going to stop? "Doesn't feel good, huh?" he smirked. "We'll see how you like this, then. Hold your cunt open. Wide open, bitch. " Wetting his hand in the water, he worked three of his fingers into Sarah's cunt, twisting them as he did so. "Oh, please don't," begged Sarah, as she felt the walls of her pussy separating to accept the offending intruders. She was still sore from last night, and the salt water on his hand exacerbated her pain. Laughing cruelly, he worked a fourth finger into her cunt, and Sarah cried out as his hand invaded and filled her. "Look at me, bitch," he hissed, as his fingers moved inside her, violating her. Sarah raised her head and looked at him, fear in her eyes. "Do want me to stop?" he asked, his blue eyes cold and hard as they bored into hers. Sarah nodded, dazed. "Then beg me to stop." "Please Sir, please let me go," Sarah begged, her voice tinged with desperation. "Please, Sir, you're hurting me - please stop!" "Not good enough," sneered S. "I guess you don't want me to stop after all, huh? I reckon you're enjoying this. In fact, given you're such a slut, I think you're fucking loving it." He moved his fingers out of her slowly, and Sarah thought maybe he was going to stop. But she was wrong. He was just repositioning his hand. Tucking his thumb into the palm of his hand, he slid his fingers back into her cunt, this time including his thumb. Stars danced in front of Sarah's eyes as his large hand filled her - what she thought was pain moments ago she now recognised as mere discomfort. For this was pain, he was trying to work his whole hand into her tight cunt and she begged him not to. "Shut up, bitch. I don't want to hear a fucking word, not even a whimper, out of you. I'm gonna fist you here on this fucking beach, and there's nothing you can say or do that'll make me change my mind. If you piss me off, I won't be as gentle about it as I have been so far, either. Are we clear? Are we?" And he twisted his hand inside Sarah to add weight to his words. "Yes Sir," cried Sarah, helplessly. What could she do? He continued working his hand inside her, but it was difficult. Her cunt was tight and unused to such penetration. He met firm resistance as the bridge of his hand sank into her but he pressed on regardless, turning his wrist as he pushed his hand deeper and deeper into her pussy. "Ohhh..." groaned Sarah as the bridge finally slipped inside her; he'd done it, she realised with shock. His hand was buried inside her, up to his wrist. "Finger your clit for me," he ordered, opening and closing his fist almost imperceptibly inside her cunt. Sarah thought he'd gone mad. He wanted her to masturbate for him, here on the beach with his fist in her cunt? This was worse than when he made her beg him to fuck her in front of everyone last night. But she dared not disobey, so she moved her fingers down to her clit, grazing the top of the hand that was violating her so brutally as she did so. "Rub it, bitch," he snapped, moving his hand inside her more roughly. Sarah obeyed, even though she was nowhere near aroused. Would she have to pretend to come? Or did he really think she'd be able to? "Look at you," he laughed, "legs spread, fist in your cunt, rubbing your clit. Fuck, I'm gonna have some fun with you when we get back to the hut later on. I might even give you my friends this time." He stopped moving his hand, and gazed at her. "What are you?" he asked quietly. "A slut, Sir," choked Sarah, her fingers still working busily on her clit. "Yes," he agreed. "Yes, you're definitely a slut. I don't normally waste my time and attentions on women like you, I think you should thank me." What happened next surprised them both. As Sarah thanked her captor for fucking her with his hand, her orgasm exploded, her pussy muscles clenching and unclenching tightly around his invading hand. "Thank you Sir," she gasped, hips rocking as she came violently. Then, her head snapped violently to one side as he delivered a stinging slap to her face with his free hand. "Next time you come, slut, you fucking ask me for permission." He wrenched his fist from her body, leaving her crying in the sand, her cunt open and used. "Get the fuck up, we're going back."
Part Three by soleil (c) (sonsoleil@hotmail.com) Night fell and darkness descended on the prisoners. Defeat hung heavy in the air; they'd been captive for two days now and no end to the ordeal seemed to be in sight. Wrapped in her blanket, Sarah huddled down next to Karen and Rob. John was missing, though. He was gone from the hut by the time she returned from the beach but she didn't ask the others where he was. They'd been warned not to speak unless spoken to and nobody dared disobey, least of all Sarah. Footsteps, and one of the men strode in, bags in hand. He'd left just after Sarah and her tormentors came back and he'd been gone for some hours. "Fucking boat almost died on me," he swore, dumping the bags on the old wooden table at the far end of the room. "Didn't think I'd make it back." Rummaging through the bags, he seized an apple and crunched into it. The prisoners watched him jealously - they'd been given no food and little water over the course of their incarceration and all were hungry and thirsty. Noticing their longing stares, S grinned. "Hungry?" he asked, cocking an eyebrow. Silence. Nobody wanted to speak. He crossed the room and glared at the little group. "Have you all gone deaf? Am I talking to myself?" Karen shifted nervously under his glare and inched closer to Rob. The men terrified her, the leader in particular. She remembered Sarah's brutal treatment at his hands and she hadn't forgotten how he'd threatened to let his friends rape her. But, yet again, it was Sarah he pounced on. "I thought you, of all people, would have learned by now," he said, leaning down and twisting her hair so she was forced to look up at him. "I asked a question, didn't I?" "Uh, yes Sir," winced Sarah as his grip on her hair became almost unbearable. "Well? What's the answer?" "No Sir, we haven't gone deaf. You're not talking to yourself, Sir. And, yes, we're hungry, Sir. And thirsty, Sir." Sarah sighed with relief as his grip on her hair loosened. He squatted down in front of her, one hand absently stroking her hair while he searched her green eyes with blue chips of steel. "You've had a long day, haven't you, Sarah?" he asked softly, almost gently. "Would you and your friends like some water? Food, perhaps?" Sarah's eyes filled with tears. Such tenderness after her rough treatment was unexpected. "Yes, Sir, we'd be very grateful, Sir," she replied, trying not to cry. Her efforts were in vain. Large, fat tears welled and spilled down her cheeks, leaving damp trails in their wake. S traced the tracks with his index finger. "Beautiful," he murmured, his lips warm against her ear. Collecting the moisture, he brushed Sarah's lips lightly with his finger. Despite herself, Sarah's lips parted and she sucked her tears from his finger, tasting the saltiness on her tongue. "What will you do for me, I wonder? What will you do so your friends can eat? What will you do so you can eat? Will you do what I want you to do?" "I'll do anything, Sir," Sarah whispered. "I'll do what you tell me to do. Please don't hurt me again, please." S gathered Sarah in his arms and held her close to him. His warmth seeped through her thin blanket, soothing her bruises and abrasions. Unconsciously, Sarah relaxed against his hard body, seeking comfort and reassurance from the man who had treated her callously and coldly. "You're such a slut, aren't you?" he asked, rubbing her back in a circular motion. "You should hate me, but here you are, cuddling up to me like a bitch in heat. "What are you?" He tipped Sarah's head back and looked deeply into her eyes. Sarah knew what to say. "I'm a slut, Sir," she said, breaking his gaze as she shivered in humiliation. He was right, what was she doing? First, she came on his hand while he fisted her brutally on the beach, and now this. How could she seek comfort and strength from a man who'd been so ruthless with her? What was the matter with her? She hardly recognised herself. "My slut," he agreed, standing. "Get up, and lose the fucking blanket while you're at it." His voice was hard now, his eyes cold. Sarah did as instructed, fearful of what she'd be told to do next. "There's bags on the table with food and water. You may give your friends a bottle of water each, and some of the fruit. But be quick about it." Sarah scurried to the table, anxious to carry out his orders before he changed his mind. Carrying one of the bags back to Rob and Karen, they thanked her as she gave it to them. Rob offered her a bottle of water as she sat beside them again and she took it gratefully - her throat was dry and parched and she ached for a drink. Breaking the seal, she froze as she heard S's command. "Stop!" he snapped, glaring at her. Confused, Sarah stopped what she was doing. "Did I give you permission to drink, bitch?" "No, Sir," she replied, shame creeping over her. He was fucking with her head again. She had learned to recognise the tone in his voice and knew she was on dangerous ground. "That's right, I didn't. Since when do you take matters into your own hands? I show you a bit of kindness and you think you run the show. I give you an inch, and you take a mile. Let's get one thing clear. You don't do anything, you don't say anything, and you don't think anything unless I tell you it's okay. Do we understand each other?" "Yes, Sir," muttered Sarah, sulkily. "Yes, Sir, no, Sir, three bags full, Sir," she added, in a reckless display of defiance. A palpable hush descended on the room as all watched for S's reaction to Sarah's rudeness. It wasn't long in coming. Quick as a flash, he crossed the room and hauled Sarah to her feet. He dragged her to the table at the far end of the room and bent her over it face down so her ass faced the others. Kicking her legs wide apart in one vicious move, he ordered one of his men to fetch the coil of rope lying in the corner. Ignoring Sarah's protests and pleas, he proceeded to secure her ankles and wrists to the table legs, tying her so that her arms and legs were spread in a star fashion, her breasts squashed painfully against the table top. When he was done, she was tightly bound and couldn't move at all. Stepping back, he admired his handiwork. "Should I gag you?" he mused aloud. "Nope, don't think I will. I want to hear you scream, bitch." Sarah tossed her head from side to side, fearfully wondering what he planned to do. She could hear him, but she couldn't see him; he'd positioned himself so that was the case. Then, she heard the sound of his belt buckle being undone and the snap of leather as he whipped it from the loops of his pants. Cringing now, she realised he meant to hit her with it and she begged him not to. "Please, Sir, I'm sorry Sir, I was rude and I didn't mean it. Please don't hit me, Sir, please!" she begged in desperation. "Shut up, slut," he said grimly. "Take your punishment like the disobedient, bad mannered cunt you are and I might let you see tomorrow. I'm gonna strap you three times with my belt, and you're going to count each one off. Are we clear?" "Yes, Sir," said Sarah, wishing with all her heart she hadn't been so foolish. The belting began. Sarah heard the swish of his belt through the air the spilt second before she felt its impact. The first blow licked across her ass and sent red-hot pain burning through her body. Yelping in pain, Sarah tried to wriggle away but she was bound tightly, there was nowhere for her to go. "Count," he demanded, steel in his voice. "One," gulped Sarah, her throat thick with tears. The belt struck again, striping her ass with fire as the leather bit into her soft skin. He hit her in exactly the same spot as he did before, layering stripe on stripe. "Two," moaned Sarah. The pain was fierce and exquisite - she could barely breathe. Red heat turned to white-hot agony as the final blow landed, dead on target. "Three," screamed Sarah, pushed almost to breaking point. "Please stop, please, please stop. I'll do anything you want, but please don't belt me anymore!" Sobbing, she desperately wanted to rub the rawness of her ass but she was tied tight and couldn't move a muscle. Howling, she thrashed on the table as S brought his hand down on her ass with a brutal spank. The sound of flesh on damaged flesh ricocheted through the room as he spanked Sarah's ass over and over again with heavy blows, tormenting the helpless woman before him. Her skin throbbed and burned; the pain of the belting and now the spanking was almost more than she could bear. S finished the spanking with a couple of stingingly hard smacks, then suddenly thrust two of his fingers between her legs, deep inside her cunt. Then, she shuddered as he poured cold water from one of the bottles over her hot ass, the water washing over her heated skin and trickling down between her legs. "Never speak to me like that again. Are we clear?" he asked, his fingers still buried inside her. "Yes, Sir," sobbed Sarah helplessly. For Sarah, the humiliation was much worse than the pain of the belt and his spanks, or the violation of his fingers. Withdrawing his fingers from her cunt, he walked around the so she could see him. "Your pleas mean nothing to me, your obedience is everything. Good behavior will be rewarded; unacceptable behaviour will be punished. It's that simple. Do you deserve a drink?" "Yes, Sir, if it pleases you, Sir," whispered Sarah, hoping her punishment was over at last. "We'll see if it pleases me," he replied, picking up the bottle of water from where it lay on the ground. He'd poured most of it over her ass but there was still a bit left on the bottom. Moving behind her again, Sarah groaned when she felt him drag the neck of the bottle down the length of her pink cunt lips. The glass was cold and hard. She wondered what he was doing. Using the fingers of one hand, he spread her pussy apart so her slit was open and exposed. Then, in one swift, brutal movement, he inserted the neck of the glass bottle deep inside her cunt. Cringing, Sarah heard the shocked intake of breath from Rob and Karen as they watched in disbelief, and the appreciative laughs of S's friends as the bottle sank into her body. She squirmed on the table in an effort to free herself, but the flat of S's hand smacked down on her used ass, stopping her. "I told you not to move, bitch. Just lie there while I fuck you with this bottle like the slut you are." Sarah obeyed as he humiliated her in front of his audience, rolling the bottle around inside her as he spanked her once again, but not as harshly this time. It was more of a rhythmic, measured spanking, and the sensations were different than before. To her shame, Sarah realised she was almost enjoying the joint deep penetration and spanking! A reluctant moan escaped her as S pushed the bottle deeper inside her. First the neck and then the body slipped into her pussy, so deep that it hit her cervix, causing her to wince a little in pleasurable discomfort. And still he spanked her, over and over again as he fucked her shamelessly. A blush crept across her face as her captor laughed softly when he pulled the bottle from her cunt. It was coated with her pussy juices - the evidence of her pleasure was plain for all to see. "Such a fucking slut," he said, coming around to the front of the table. "Untie her," he said to one of his mates, who hurried to do his bidding. Sarah sighed in relied as her aching arms and legs were freed, but she dared not move into a more comfortable position until S allowed her. "Sit up, bitch," he ordered. "Up on the table top, knees bent, legs open. Show your cunt to your friends." Sarah hung her head in shame as she followed his instructions. She sat in the middle of the table with her legs wide apart, her wet pussy betraying her in front of everyone. S burrowed though one of the bags on the floor. He selected a large orange carrot and a ripe banana and placed them on the table next to her. "Still hungry? Which would you like to eat? You choose," he said mildly, fixing her with a steely stare. Sarah didn't know what to say, this was most unexpected and she was unsure where he was going with this. Erring on the side of caution, she chose the carrot; it was the closest thing to her. "I choose this, Sir. Thank you, Sir." "Shove it in your cunt." Sarah stared at him, eyes wide. "Pardon, Sir?" she choked in disbelief. "You heard. Shove it in your cunt. All the way, as far as it will go. Big end first. Quickly, before I do it for you. You won't like that, I can assure you." Sarah knew he meant business. She briefly considered begging for respite, but realised it would make no difference. Hesitantly, she picked up the carrot and pressed the carrot against her pussy. It slid inside her easily; her cunt was wet although her shame and humiliation was plain to see. The other men crowded around the table for a better look at her as she pushed the carrot between her splayed legs, deeper and deeper until just the bottom of it could be seen protruding from her slit. S offered her the bottle, the neck still glistening with her juices. "Drink," he commanded. Sarah looked at him in horror. She couldn't drink from the very bottle he just fucked her with! "Uh, no thanks, Sir," she whispered, unable to meet his eyes. The carrot was still embedded in her cunt; there was not much left of her dignity to strip but this was too much. "Fucking drink it," he said quietly, pulling her head up by her hair so she was forced to look at him. "Do it now." Face burning, Sarah took the bottle from him and raised it to her mouth. She tipped the bottle up and felt the cool water slide down her dry throat. Sarah was careful to avoid the bottle actually touching her lips - she didn't want to taste herself if she could help it. Finishing the water, she handed the bottle back to S. "Lick yourself off it, slut," he said, refusing to take it. "Lick the bottle clean, and do it properly." Defeated and humiliated, Sarah did as she was told. Hesitantly, she flicked her pink tongue over the glass, swallowing her own juices as instructed. She gasped as he tugged the bottom of the carrot that was just visible in her cunt and jerked her hips as if to stop him. S smiled cruelly at her as she did so, reveling in her degradation. "You're loving it, slut. Don't pretend otherwise." Closing her eyes, Sarah finished licking herself from the bottle and moaned as S pulled the carrot from her moist cunt. It made a sucking noise as he withdrew it from her body and he held it up for everyone to see. "Look, it's dripping with her sluttishness. I knew she was loving this." Taking the bottle from her, he handed her the carrot instead. "You know what to do, bitch. Don't disappoint me." Sarah knew exactly what he expected. Feeling strangely empty and frustrated, she licked juices from the carrot, then ate it, legs still spread wide. For now, her punishing humiliation was complete. Submitted with love and thanks to Sir, my inspiration :)
Part Four by soleil (c) (sonsoleil@hotmail.com) Sarah awoke suddenly, her skin pricking with goose flesh. Shivering, she gathered her thin blanket around her as she lay there quietly for a few seconds, trying to work out what had woken her. A small oil lamp was glowing in the far corner of the room, but it didn't cast much light and it was difficult to see clearly. Ears straining, she heard muffled noises from the far corner of the room and wondered what was happening. Sarah knew the leader wasn't around - after humiliating her on the table earlier, he'd conducted a whispered conference with his sidekicks and left the hut shortly thereafter. He hadn't returned by the time they bedded down for the night. Sarah wondered where he was, but she was grateful he wasn't around to torment her. Blinking as her eyes adjusted to the dim light, she let out an involuntary gasp at what she saw. The thugs had Karen! Careful not to draw attention to herself, she craned her neck in an attempt to see what was going on. Karen was naked and on her knees in front of the two men with her hands bound behind her back. She was gagged with what looked like a dirty old rag and she was shaking visibly with fear. Sarah felt sorry for her; she knew Karen was terrified of the men. She wondered where Rob was, and looked around for him. Surely he would have tried to protect his girlfriend? But she couldn't spot him anywhere - what was going on? Karen's muffled sobs refocused her attention on the corner of the hut. "You'll do as you're told, is that clear, you little bitch?" one of the men hissed as Karen cowered before them. Unable to answer him through the gag, Karen nodded her head, her eyes rolling in fear. Sarah was certain the men shouldn't be doing this. In the time they'd been in the hut, the only one of them that had punished or assaulted she and her companions was the leader, the man she called Sir. The other men didn't get a look in. But with S gone, Sarah supposed the thugs had seized the opportunity to have a little fun of their own and, much as she felt sorry for Karen, she was glad it wasn't her. Sarah watched as one of the men ripped Karen's gag off. A piercing scream ripped through the room and Sarah winced as the thug slapped Karen viciously across the face, snapping her head back with the force of the blow. "Scream as loud as you want, slut," he sneered. "There's no one to hear you apart from your filthy friend over there in the corner. And your boyfriend's no good to you now, not since we took care of him." Sarah wondered again what they'd done with Rob. Casting a glance toward the door, she spotted drag marks on the floor coupled with fresh bloodstains. Had they killed him? Or just knocked him unconscious? At any rate, he was no longer in the room. Unzipping his pants so that his hard cock sprang free, one of the men grabbed Karen by the hair and forced her head into his groin. "Suck it, cunt," he grunted as Karen shook her head violently, refusing to open her mouth. Tears rolled down her face as she struggled against him. She was strong in resistance and slipped from his grasp as he fumbled with her. Momentarily free, Karen scrabbled wildly on the floor in an effort to put some distance between her and her captors but her hands were still bound and she couldn't go very far. The thug kicked out at her in frustration - getting this bitch to suck his cock wasn't going to be as easy as he thought. The situation was getting out of hand rapidly, and he was conscious he looked like an idiot in front of his companion. The kick caught her a glancing blow in the side and Karen let out a soft woomf as she lay breathless and winded on the hard ground. "For fuck's sake, let me handle this," the other guy snapped. Reaching down, he picked the winded girl up under her arms and shook her so violently her teeth rattled in her head. "Let's try this again," he said, dropping her back on her knees. Dazed and still a little winded, Karen whimpered as he tangled his hand in her hair, forcing her head toward his crotch. "Open up, bitch," he snarled, rubbing his hard cock over her lips. Turning her head away in an effort to escape the oral assault, Karen refused yet again to open her mouth. Laughing cruelly, her tormentor pinched her nostrils together, cramming his cock into her mouth in one swift movement as she gasped for air. The man held Karen's face firmly in his hands and forced himself further into her mouth as she spluttering and choked. Saliva ran down her cheeks as he ruthlessly fucked her face, jerking his hips back and forth as he thrust deeper into her throat. Coming around behind her, the second thug reached down and twisted Karen's nipples in an act of vicious revenge as she continued to suck his friend's cock. Moaning in shock and pain, Karen bit down in a reflex action on the hardness invading her mouth, her teeth slicing through the sensitive flesh like a hot knife through butter. Howling in pain, her captor stumbled backward, wrenching himself from Karen's mouth. He collapsed on the floor, writhing in agony, blood pouring from the bite marks on his cock. His friend, whose rash actions caused the disaster, rounded on Karen in a fit of rage. "Look what the fuck you've done, you stupid pig!" he shouted, kicking her to the floor. "You fucking cunt, look what you've done!" As she fell, Karen's head knocked against the floor, rendering her unconscious. But the thug didn't notice, and raised his hand to hit her. As he was about to strike, he was stopped by a quiet, menacing voice that echoed through the room. "What the fuck is going on in here?" Sarah's heart leapt into her throat; it was S, he was back! She watched wide-eyed as he stalked across the room, his face dark with anger. The thug lowered his hand slowly as he stared at the leader sulkily. The other guy was crying softly on the floor, cradling his injured, bleeding cock in his hands. "I asked you a question. What the hell happened? I leave you fuckers on watch for a few hours, and all hell breaks loose. What did you do to the guy outside? What are you doing with her? And what the fuck happened to him?" he demanded, nudging the injured man on the ground with the toe of his boot. "Where's Sarah?" he added, peering around the gloomy room. Aware his leader was not in the best of moods, the thug remained silent, a sullen expression on his face. Spotting Sarah huddling in her blanket, S walked over to her. "Don't move," he commanded over his shoulder to the men. Crouching before her, he searched Sarah's frightened green eyes with his cold, blue ones. "What happened?" he asked. "Tell me the truth. Don't lie to me," he warned. Sarah thought frantically for a moment. If she ratted on his men, would they seek revenge on her later? Perhaps when S left the hut again? She didn't know what to say. "I'm waiting, Sarah," S said, impatiently. "Don't make me force it out of you." There was a warning note in his voice, and Sarah knew she'd have to tell him. In the end, she was more afraid of the consequences of disobeying him than she was of the consequences of dobbing in his mates. In a small voice, she described what she'd seen, how the men had abused Karen, and how Karen had bitten the thug's cock when the other one had twisted her nipples. "But she didn't mean it, really, she didn't," finished Sarah, desperate to protect her friend. "And Rob? What happened to him? Why is he outside?" "I don't know, Sir," replied Sarah, truthfully. "He was gone when I awoke, I didn't see what they did him." "Did they touch you?" "Uh, no Sir," said Sarah. Turning back to his men, S said "Is what she told me true?" The uninjured man nodded sulkily. "Pretty much. We just wanted a little fun, is all. We weren't gonna hurt her, not really. But we had to get her boyfriend out the way first, we just gave him a little tap and dragged him outside. He's not dead or anything." "You stupid fuckers," S snapped. "You've fucked everything up. I fucking told you not to touch any of them, didn't I? I should never have hired you cunts in the first place." Even from a distance, Sarah could hear the controlled anger in his voice, and cringed. What was going to happen to them all now? Pulling his gun from the waistband of his pants, S thought for a moment, then barked, "You, get down on the floor next to him. Do it now, before I change my mind and shoot the pair of you." He waved the thug down with the butt of his gun and than man scrambled to do his bidding, knowing S would make good on his threat if he didn't. Settling down next to his injured friend, he looked fearfully up at their leader as S got the rope he had previously used to tie Sarah with. Working quickly, S bound the two men together with their hands behind their backs, then bound their feet. "Wha..." started one of the bound men in surprise, but a harsh glare from S shut him up. S cocked his gun and aimed it at the men. "One more word, and the both of you are dead. In fact, I think I'll gag the pair of you. I'm sick of the noise." And he did just that. Crossing to Karen, S nudged her with his foot. She was still out for the count. S dragged her over where Sarah was crouched, and covered her with a blanket. Untying her arms, he made her as comfortable as he could. Then, he went outside and dragged the still unconscious Rob back into the hut. Blood oozed from a nasty gash on Rob's head, and Sarah assumed he'd been pistol-whipped. He lay him next to Sarah, and covered them both with a blanket. Then, he moved around the hut, gathering ropes and other items and stuffed them into his rucksack. Sarah wondered if maybe he was going to kill them all. But, if that were the case, why would he have tried to make Karen and Rob more comfortable? Screwing up all her courage, Sarah decided to ask him. "Sir?" asked Sarah, timidly. "Uh, may I ask what you're doing?" S stopped what he was doing and fixed Sarah with a steely glare. "I'm leaving," he said, and resumed packing. "But, Sir? What about us?" asked Sarah, her eyes welling with tears. She didn't want to be left alone with the two men, incapacitated though they were. And if S took the boat, they'd surely die on the island before anyone found them. S crossed the room and crouched before Sarah. "What makes you think I give a fuck about any of you?" he said, in a cold, measured tone. Sarah started crying. She couldn't help it, she'd been through so much and all she wanted to do was go home. There seemed to be little chance of that now. Even more surprisingly, she realised she didn't want S to leave. Why that was, she didn't know. S watched her silently as her face crumpled and the tears rolled down her face. "Okay," he said. "I'm going to ask you a question. It's your first and only chance, and you must answer yes or no. I won't enter into any discussion, nor tolerate any questions. Before I ask you that question, do I make myself clear?" Sarah thought for a moment, then nodded quickly. S tipped her face up to his with a finger under his chin. Sarah shivered as his eyes bored into hers. "You're really quite beautiful," he murmured. "Big eyes, full lips, pale skin. Such soft, pale skin." He traced a finger down her cheek and across her lips as he spoke, sending shivers down Sarah's spine. In spite of herself, Sarah moaned gently, her lips parted as he caressed her. "Such a slut," he whispered. Then, he slapped Sarah's face with a stinging open-handed blow, her cheek blushing angrily where he'd struck her. Sarah stared at him, stunned. "You have a choice," he said quietly. You can either stay here with the rest of these idiots, or you can come back to the mainland with me. If you come with me, you will do as I tell you. You will be my slut, you will be my slave, and you will cater to my every wish. You will do what you're told, when you're told. You will behave. You will not try to escape, and you will not fuck things up for me. If you do, I will kill you. So, that's your choice. Do you want to come with me?" An air of expectant silence hung over the room as S waited for Sarah's response. Sarah wrestled with the question inside her head. Where would he take her? What would he do with her? Would he let her go home? What did he mean about the slut part? The slave part? She was confused, but as much as she didn't know what to do, she knew she didn't want to stay in the hut. If she left with him, she had a chance to escape once they were back on the mainland. If she stayed here, she would surely die. "Yes," whispered Sarah, at last. "Yes, I want to come with you." Upon hearing her response, something flared deep in S' eyes as he looked down at Sarah. "You're mine, now, bitch," he said softly. "Mine to own and control and use as and when I see fit. You're mine. Don't make me regret taking you. Let's go."
Part Five by soleil (c) (sonsoleil@hotmail.com) When Sarah awoke, sun was filtering into the room through timber blinds covering a large window. She lay quietly for a moment while she attempted to get her bearings, then retched as waves of nausea washed over her. Her stomach heaving, she tried valiantly to hold back the rising bile, looking around wildly for something, anything to be sick in. Spotting a bucket beside the bed, she groped blindly for it, then groaned as she gave into the feelings of nausea. Minutes later, after expelling the contents of her stomach into the red plastic, she lay back on the pillow gingerly and wiped strands of hair from her damp forehead. Slowly, the events of the past hours trickled into her consciousness. After telling Sir she wanted to leave the island with him, he had wasted no time. He finished packing his things, then pulled Sarah to her feet. "Hands behind your back!" he snapped, then bound her wrists together with a length of rope. "I agreed to come with you, you don't have to tie my hands," she complained. Jerking her around to face him, S loomed over her. "Shut up, slut," he said, grimly. "I don't give a fuck if you agreed to come with me. If I decide you need to be tied, you'll be tied. You'll do what I want. Are we clear?" Sarah bristled with annoyance, but kept quiet. She wasn't willing to rock the boat at this stage in proceedings, not with the chance of freedom so tantalizingly close. "I said, are we clear?" "Yes, Sir," replied Sarah obediently. "Good. Now, move." S pushed her roughly towards the door, and she stumbled a little as she tripped over her feet. "But, Sir?" "What?" he barked, impatiently. "You're starting to piss me off, and you don't want to do that." "Uh, what about Rob and Karen? And John, wherever he is? What about him?" "I don't give a fuck about them. And unless you move your fucking ass out that door right now, I'll leave you to rot here with them. Now, shut up and move!" Sarah shut up and went. Much as she hated to leave her companions, she didn't want to be left on the island. It was still dark when they left the hut but as they picked their way down to the beach, the first rays of morning light began to brighten the eastern sky. Sarah caught glimpses of the ocean through the trees, and watched as the rising sun cast glints off the rolling surf. "Look, Sir," she said, spontaneously. "Isn't it beautiful? The sunrise and the ocean?" They stopped momentarily on a small rise watching as the sun rose over the water. "It is indeed beautiful," he replied, absently. Then, he shook himself and pushed her on. "Hurry up. We haven't got much time." They reached the beach. Sarah saw a small boat had been dragged up on to the sand, and presumed that was their ticket off the island. They made their way over to it, then S threw his pack into the boat and pushed it out into the shallows. Clambering into it, he beckoned to her impatiently as she lingered ankle deep in the water, enjoying the cool relief of the waves lapping over her sore, tired feet. "Come on," he snapped, helping her as she climbed awkwardly into the craft. It was difficult with her hands tied, but she managed at last. As S started the outboard, Sarah wriggled around as she tried to get comfortable. From when the little group had been dropped on the island a few days previously, she remembered the journey back to the mainland took an hour or so, but S' boat was much smaller. Her heart fluttered as she thought about getting back, and maybe an opportunity for escape! As they moved through the water, she dreamed of seeing her home again, and her friends and family. Suddenly, S cut the engines, the sudden silence shaking her from her reverie. She watched S warily as he rummaged through his pack, though she knew better than to ask what he was doing. Pulling a bottle of something from the bag and a bit of cloth, he shuffled over to Sarah, crablike fashion. Unscrewing the cap from the bottle, he doused the rag with the contents. "I'm going to knock you out," he told her. "I can't take the risk of you fucking things up for me. We can do it the easy way, or we can do it the hard way. It's really up to you, but if you choose the hard way, you'll end up fish food." Sarah opened her mouth to protest, but the last thing she saw was S' hand descending over her face, covering her nose with the damp cloth. Despite his fish food threat, Sarah struggled briefly, then succumbed helplessly to the darkness that flooded over her. S watched as Sarah as she lost consciousness, catching her as she slipped gently off the seat. Positioning her on the bottom of the boat so that she wouldn't choke if she vomited, he started the engine again and headed for the mainland. And that was all Sarah remembered. As for where she was - well, she had no clue. Was this S' house? It certainly wasn't a hospital, and she wasn't at home, so it must be his place. But where was he? Swinging her legs carefully over the edge of the bed, Sarah looked around curiously as she tried to decide what to do. The room was furnished sparingly. Polished floorboards, but no rugs. There was the queen size bed she was sitting on, and two nightstands with lamps. A glass of water stood on one of the tables and Sarah gulped the liquid greedily, anxious to wash the taste of vomit from her mouth. Mirrored built in robes covered one side of the room, and large windows ran down the opposite side. There were no other furnishings, save for a laundry hamper in the corner. Wondering what the time was, Sarah realised there wasn't even a clock. It was daytime, at any rate. Though the blinds were closed, Sarah peered through gaps in the timber slats and fancied she saw water in the distance. Sniffing the air, she detected a faint, salty tang and decided the house must be near the ocean. Footsteps outside, then the bedroom door opened. "You're awake, I see," said Sir, entering the room. Sarah looked at him in surprise. In the hut on the island, all she'd seen him wear were the khaki pants and black t-shirt but now he was dressed in old blue jeans and a white open necked polo shirt. No knife, no gun. He'd obviously showered and shaved and he looked different, far removed from the thug who'd treated her so callously and brutally. "I only woke up a few minutes ago," she replied. "Uh... I was sick. In the bucket," she said, apologetically. "Yeah, chloroform tends to do that." S leaned against the doorjamb, arms folded. They watched each other silently for a long moment, sizing each other up. "Stand up and take your clothes off." The command was quiet, but harsh. Sarah flushed, suddenly uncertain. Dressed as he was, he looked less menacing now than he did on the island. And he didn't have his gun or his knife, either. Feeling she was on safer ground here than she had been on the island, she decided to ignore his instruction. "Actually," she said, I was hoping I could take a shower. I'm all dirty, and..." S straightened up and walked purposefully towards Sarah. Flipping her onto her stomach, Sarah wailed as S yanked down her torn and dirty shorts. Pinning her down with one hand, he began spanking her ass sharply with his other hand. The blows rained down, sending waves of raw heat licking up her spine and through her body. "Please, Sir, please stop! Please!" she begged, but to no avail. S spanked Sarah relentlessly, coloring her pale skin an angry shade of pink, then red, then crimson. Sarah squealed as bucked and thrashed beneath his hand, but there was no relief. The sound of stinging slaps coupled with Sarah's sobs reverberated through the room. Tossing her head in a struggle to escape the onslaught, she suddenly caught sight of her reflection in the mirrored wall, her hair wild and tangled, her face streaked with tears, her breasts spilling out of her flimsy t-shirt. She watched blindly as S raised his hand again and again, striking her ass with grim determination as he disciplined her. Their eyes met in the mirror and he spanked her harder still, watching Sarah as her body arched and twisted in response, her hot ass flesh rippling as each spank bit into her delicate skin. Finally, he stopped. Sarah groaned in relief as she reached around to rub her damaged cheeks. "Don't," snapped Sir. Sarah moaned piteously, but she obeyed his instruction and just lay there on the bed, still gulping back sobs. Slowly, she regained control of herself, her ragged breathing slowing, then normalizing as the pain and heat of the spanking subsided. "Sit up and face me." Sarah complied, wincing as her raw ass made contact with the cotton sheets. S closed his hands around Sarah's neck. Sarah gasped for air as he squeezed her throat tighter, then tighter again, her face turning white, then red as her eyes bulged in her head as she struggled to draw breath. His grip grew tighter still and she struggled in panic as she clawed at his hands with her fingernails in desperation. "Never forget who's in charge here," he snarled, releasing her suddenly. Sarah fell back on the bed as she gulped for breath, sobbing as the air streamed down her bruised throat and flooded into her starving lungs. Sarah realised nothing had changed at all; S was as in control as ever, island or no island, gun or no gun. "There's a bathroom across the hall," he said, seemingly unconcerned with her breathless torment and bruised flesh. "You've got 45 minutes to clean yourself up. I suggest you do a good job, because we're going out. Laughing, he turned and left the room. Sarah remained on the bed for a moment, rubbing her injured throat. Going out? Where were they going? What would she wear? Her clothes were torn and dirty and her only shoes were a pair of flimsy beach sandals. All she had with her that was hers was in the day pack she'd originally taken to the island. Mentally, Sarah ticked off what she had. Her purse, some makeup, a bikini and a sarong. A towel, and a book. Sunscreen and her camera. There was certainly no change of clothes amongst her meager possessions, she thought despairingly. She didn't even have her hairdryer! Smiling in spite of herself, she supposed that was the least of her worries. Miserably, she made her way to the bathroom. Stepping gingerly under the shower, she sighed with pleasure as the cool spray doused her reddened bottom. The water felt good as she soaped away the dirt and grime of the past twenty-four hours. As she washed herself, she realised she hadn't bathed since the day on the beach. Then, conscious of the time, she forced herself out of the shower and dried herself with a thick white towel that was folded neatly over the rail. Wincing as she did, she noticed the bruises and scratches inflicted on her over the past few days were less livid, but still noticeable. Sarah also saw that fine, stubbly hair was sprouting on her pussy. It itched a little, and she scratched herself gently as she wondered if he'd shave her again. When she was dry, she toweled her hair and ran her comb through it. Fishing around in her pack, she assembled her little collection of cosmetics and applied tinted moisturizer, mascara, and decided to go with the red, rather than pink, lip-gloss. Then, a quick dab of powder on her nose courtesy of her compact, and she checked her reflection in the mirror. Fluffing her curls with her fingers, she twisted and turned in front of the vanity, silently bemoaning the lack of styling products or a hairdryer. Did she look okay? Sighing, she decided she'd done the best she could given the circumstances, then briefly wondered why she cared anyway. After all, she had no one to impress, but she realised didn't want to displease S. Her only problem now, she thought, was the fact she was still naked. Wrapping the damp towel around her, she decided to find S, and ask him what she should wear. She didn't have to look very far. When she came out of the bathroom, he was lounging on the bed in a cat-like fashion. He looked her up and down as she entered the room. "Lose the towel." Feeling self conscious, Sarah blushed as the towel dropped to the ground. Standing naked before him, she felt his eyes rake over her. "Ummm...Sir?" "What?" "Uh, I don't have anything to wear, Sir." "And?" "Well, it's just that you said we were going out, and I just don't have anything to wear, that's all," she stammered, shuffling her feet in embarrassment. "Ah," he sighed, almost sympathetically, Sarah thought. "The ultimate female complaint. I haven't got a thing to wear. Only, in this case, it's true, isn't it, slut?" S raised an eyebrow and smirked at her. Sarah realized he was mocking her, that he wasn't sympathetic at all. "Yes, Sir, it's true, Sir," she whispered. "Dear me," he replied. "Whatever shall we do?" He pretended to think for a moment. "Well, slut, as luck would have it, I may have the very solution to your problem over there in that closet. Why don't you go see?" Sarah looked at him uncertainly, then went to the closet and slid back the mirrored panel. A small pile of clothes was folded neatly on one of the shelves. "Get dressed." Sarah unfolded an impossibly short black lycra skirt. Holding it up, she stared doubtfully at it. "I don't think it'll fit me," she said in a small voice. S clicked his tongue in annoyance. "Fucking do it, before I lose my patience and make you go out naked!" Sarah wriggled into the skirt, S watching with an eagle eye. The skirt hugged her plump bottom, and barely reached mid thigh. Sarah knew that if she bent over, it would ride up and expose her ass to the world. Reaching into the closet again, she pulled out a red sparkly halter neck top, which also appeared to be too small for her. Sarah hated it on sight. She turned and looked at S. "This will look weird, cos my bra straps will show. Shall I just wear my other top?" she asked, hopefully. "I don't think so," he replied. "In fact, I don't think you need a bra at all." "But, Sir," she wailed, "my boobs are too big to go without..." "I really don't want to hear it, slut. Hurry up and get dressed!" Sarah slipped the top over her head, crimson with embarrassment. Smoothing her hair, she saw her reflection in the mirror and cringed. Her large breasts swayed underneath the flimsy material, her nipples clearly outlined. The skirt clung to her curves, accentuating her ass. There were no panties in the pile, and she decided not to ask for any. She looked like a cheap hooker, she would never dream of wearing such clothes normally! "What a whore," sneered S. "You look like a tramp, don't you?" he snapped. "Yes Sir," mumbled Sarah, because she did. She was ashamed to be wearing seen in such clothes. "I don't have any shoes for you to wear, so you'll have to wear your sandals." Sarah slipped the shoes on her feet, then stood in front of S, unsure what to do next. "Right," he said. "We're ready. But I'll warn you now - you'll behave when we're out, or suffer the consequences. As of now, you won't speak unless you're spoken to. You will not try to escape. You will do as you're told. Are we clear?" Sarah nodded in agreement, wide eyed. Pulling a black scarf from his pocket, S got up from the bed and came around behind Sarah. Slipping it over her face, he blindfolded her before she realised what he was doing. By now, though, Sarah was used to such things, and didn't protest. Anyway, she supposed it was better than a faceful of chloroform. Then, leading her through the house and out the door, S helped her into the car, and they were on their way. They didn't speak for the duration of the journey. Sarah hoped S would turn the radio on so she could at least get some idea of what town she was in. But he didn't oblige, and she dared not ask. She could hear the sounds of the outside world rushing by, and her stomach turned with excitement at the thought she might soon be able to be free at last. She'd decided she'd try to escape, if given the chance. At last, they arrived at their destination. Turning off the engine, S reached over and removed Sarah's blindfold. Sarah blinked stupidly against the bright sunlight. A puzzled look flitted across her face as she saw where they were. A tattoo parlor? Confused, she looked at S. "You're getting a tattoo?" she asked, forgetting she'd been told not to speak. Amused at her confusion, S decided to let it slide. "Nope," he snickered. "YOU are!"
Part 6 by soleil (c) (sonsoleil@hotmail.com) Sarah stared at S in horror, her lips forming a perfect, round O of shock and disbelief. She couldn't believe what she was hearing, surely he was joking? He was going to get her tattooed? "But...but... Sir," she stammered, "What do you mean? Surely you can't be serious?" "Oh, I'm serious. In fact, I haven't been this serious for a while. Apart from when I told you not to speak unless spoken to, of course. I was serious then, as well." Sarah recognised the harsh edge in Sir's voice and knew he meant what he said. She fell back in the seat, her stomach turning and her heart pounding. She hated needles; she had never been able to stand them. How would she cope with a tattoo? Shivering, she looked at the parlor with apprehension mixed with fear. Opening her mouth to speak, she caught the warning look in S' ice blue eyes and thought better of it. "Out," he snapped, disengaging the central locking. Sarah opened the door and climbed out of the car. Her legs were trembling and she felt lightheaded. Looking around, she thought briefly of making a dash for freedom but S was at her side before she knew it, catching her elbow with a tight grip. "Don't even think about it," he warned, quietly. A bell on the shop door rang as S lead her into the parlor. Despite herself, Sarah looked around in fascination. Always of the opinion that tattoos had no place on a female body, she'd never been near a tattoo shop, let alone been inside one. The parlor was just one big room, and the walls were covered from floor to ceiling with designs and drawings. More designs and drawings were contained in large, freestanding flip folders. A little corner of the back of the room was curtained off, and Sarah could see table legs, similar to those of tables found in doctors' surgeries. But the thing that caught Sarah's attention was the four workstations set up in the center if the room. Three of them were in use - people were being tattooed right there in front of anyone who cared to look! Sarah watched as one of the tattooists worked carefully on the bared upper arm of a bearded, beefy man. The design was intricate - some sort of dragon, Sarah thought. At the second station, a woman with long hair was sitting bent forward on a gurney, her head buried in her hands as the tattooist worked on a rose on her hip. Another man was seated at the third station, poring over an album filled with yet more drawings. He and the tattooist were discussing what he should have inked on his chest. Three more people were sitting in a little waiting area that was directly opposite the workstations. Sarah reddened as one of the waiting men looked her up and down appreciatively. He grinned at her through broken teeth and tattooed lips. Shuddering in revulsion and feeling very self-conscious, Sarah jerked her tiny skirt down in a futile effort to cover herself up a little more. She was aware of her breasts rubbing full and heavy beneath the sparkly red material and wished she was wearing something that wasn't so slutty. The man nudged his friend, and both of them leered. "Hey, how's it going!" Sarah saw a tall, thin, tattooed man walking towards she and S. "This the chick you told me about?" Sarah cringed behind S as both men turned to look at her. Evidently, this man and S knew each other. "Yep, sure is," said S. "You can fit us in, right?" "Oh, I think so," he replied. "It's just a small one, so it shouldn't be a problem. Twenty minutes max, and she's done." "Good stuff," said S, hauling Sarah out from behind him. Sarah shook with fear as he gripped her jaw with his hand and forced her to look up at him. "Go with Wes. Do as you're told. I'll be watching you. Do not disappoint me. Are we clear?" "Yes, Sir," she whispered, her face pale. Wes walked over to the fourth work station. Pushing a gurney out of the way, he pulled over a backless chair and positioned it in front of his chair. He looked at Sarah and patted the backless seat. "Just here, thanks. Hey, you got that design you wanted on you?" S pushed Sarah over to the chair, and pulled a piece of paper from the pocket of his jeans. "This is it, I want it right in the small of her back." Wes took the paper and studied it. "Okay, I can do that no problems. I'll just go make up the template, then I'll stick it on her back and you can take a look before I start." As Wes walked off, Sarah sat on the seat, then looked up at S. "Please don't make me do this," she begged, her voice quavering. "Please, Sir, I'm terrified of needles, it's going to hurt!" Tears formed in her eyes as she spoke. "It'll only take a minute, you'll get over it." "But what are you getting done to me?" wailed Sarah, a note of hysteria in her voice. "Stop whining, I don't want to hear your fucking voice! You know what you agreed to do when I took you with me, remember? What did I tell you are?" "A slut, Sir." "Correct. Whose slut?" "Yours, Sir." "Right again. Mine. And I'll do what I want with you, yes?" "Yes, Sir," Sarah whimpered. "We understand each other, then. But one more word from you, and it's a one way trip back to the island!" Sarah hunched miserably on the chair, shaking and shivering. She was truly scared, she thought she was going to be ill. She noticed the waiting men waiting were watching and listening to the exchange with interest and she looked away, unwilling to meet their eyes. Wes returned, and came around behind her. "Right, you need to stand up for me, nice and straight, while I position this on your back, okay? I'll need to adjust your clothes, too." Sarah looked over to Sir, who nodded encouragingly. Sarah did as she was told, her legs trembling as she tried valiantly to control herself. Wes raised her top half way up her back and then pulled her skirt down low on her hips, exposing her lower back. "Nice and straight, now," he said, sticking something in the small of her back, just above her ass crack. Moving it around a little, he fiddled for a moment, then stepped back to view his efforts. "This okay?" he asked S. "Turn around and show him." Sarah turned around slowly and presented her back to the room. "Yep, that's great," he smirked. "Go bigger, sweetheart!" called one of the watching men and Sarah cringed. She didn't want a tattoo at all, especially not a big one! "Alrighty," said Wes. "Have a seat. I need you to bend from the waist, and lean forward. Here, put these in your lap and rest your arms on them, you'll be more comfortable." He handed Sarah a couple of folded towels. Sarah folded her arms across her chest and buried her head in the towels on her lap. Then she heard the buzzing of Wes' instrument and adrenaline coursed into her bloodstream as blind panic swamped her. She sat up, certain she couldn't go through with it. "May I see it?" she asked, twisting around to see what Wes was holding. S stepped toward her, and Sarah caught his movement out of the corner of her eye. "Please, Sir," she begged. "I just need to see it, and I'll be okay. Please?" S thought for a moment, then nodded. Sarah turned back to Wes, and looked closely at the stainless steel implement whirring in his hand. "See?" he said, showing her. "Nothing to it." "Will it hurt?" she asked, lip trembling. "How long will it take?" "It might hurt a bit, but lots of people get it done, so it can't be that bad. Have you ever had children?" Sarah shook her head. "I was going to say the pain isn't as bad as childbirth! Okay, have you ever had a bad sunburn?" Sarah nodded. "Well, it's a bit like that. It stings a bit, and might burn a little. But it's not so bad, the outline is the worst part and we'll get that over and done with as quick as we can. All right?" Sarah nodded doubtfully, her lip still trembling. "Down you go, then, and you have to try not to move. If you do, I'll mess it up and you'll be stuck with it. And you Lord and Master won't be pleased. Understand?" Sarah nodded again, and bent over the towels once more. She felt beads of sweat popping on her forehead as the sound of the tool, buzzing like an angry hornet, filled her ears. Closing her eyes tightly, she felt every muscle in her body tense as she waited for what seemed like an age for Wes to begin. "Okay, hold still, and try to relax," the tattooist said, going to work. Sarah gritted her teeth as she felt the needle dance over her skin. Tears squeezed from the corners of her eyes as he began to etch the outline on her back. Willing herself to stay seated and as still as possible, Sarah moaned as the stinging, burning sensations coursed through her. Sweat poured down her face as Wes worked on her and she silently urged him on, willing him to finish as soon as possible. "Ow, ow, ow, OW" she cried, as the needle inked over her spine. She clenched her jaw and succumbed to the pain, stars dancing behind her closed lids as she did so. Remembering she wasn't supposed to move, she bit into the towels in her lap. Sarah heard S' voice, as if from a great distance. "S'okay, baby," he murmured, "You're doing well, he's nearly done with the outline." Sarah opened her eyes and saw S' shoes and jeans clad legs. She felt strangely comforted, and relaxed a little. "There," said Wes, straightening up. "That's the outline done, now I just have to fill it in. Hold it for a sec." Sarah remained where she was, but snaked a hesitant hand out and reached blindly for S. He caught her small, clammy hand in his large, warm one and she gripped it tightly. The buzzing began again, and the tattooist bent over her again, filling in the design. It seemed to Sarah to take forever, but she wasn't so scared now that she could hold S' hand, and the pain wasn't as bad as before. Still, she'd just about reached the end of her tether when finally, the buzzing stopped, and Wes put his tattoo gun down with a clatter. "All done, you can sit up. But slowly, you might be a little dizzy." Sarah let go S' hand and straightened up cautiously. She wanted to rub her back, but resisted the urge. Looking up, she saw S' watching her intently, his eyes fixed on her face. She smiled a ghost of a smile as their eyes met. "Wasn't so bad, was it?" he asked. "No Sir, thank you, Sir." "What for?" "Um, for holding my hand, Sir," she said, softly. "You did well, I'm proud of you." Sarah felt her heart leap at his words, though she didn't know why she felt like that. Giddy euphoria overcame her as she realised she'd actually done it! She'd gone through with the tattoo, and what's more, S was proud of her! Suddenly, it all seemed worth it. "Stand up, let's see what it looks like." Sarah stood slowly, and rolled her shoulders to ease some of the stiffness. Turning, she showed her back to S, who whistled softly as he looked at her. "You did a good job, looks great!" he said to Wes. "Sir? May I see it? Please?" S took her by the hand and led her over to a full-length mirror. "Take a look," he said, watching her reaction. Sarah looked at her reflection in the mirror, twisting around to get a clear view. "Oh!" she gasped, seeing her tattoo for the first time. Two small Chinese characters were engraved in black in the center of the small of her back, just above her plump bottom. "What are they? Do they mean anything?" "Figurative translation means 'woman under a Master's hand'. 'Slave' is the literal translation." "Oh," she said again, understanding dawning on her. He had marked her for life with the word 'slave'. For the rest of her days, wherever she was, whatever she did, who ever she did it with, she would bear his mark. "It's what you are, isn't it? A slave? My slave?" "Yes, Sir," replied Sarah, looking at her tattoo again. "Yes, Sir, I am a slave. Your slave."
Part 7 by soleil (c) (sonsoleil@hotmail.com) Sarah sighed as she finished cleaning the kitchen. The room positively sparkled; she hoped she'd done a good job and that it would pass Sir's careful scrutiny. Trailing a thoughtful finger over the gleaming bench tops, she wondered when S would be home. She didn't know exactly what he did, just that he left the house very early in the morning and didn't get home until late. Sometimes, very late. She smiled as she heard the clicking of claws on the tiled floor. Bending down, she picked up the little dog that was sniffing around her feet. "You doin' okay, CL?" she murmured, rubbing the dog's silky head. CL licked her face in response, making Sarah giggle. She adored her new found friend. Sir had brought the dog home a few nights ago. Coming through the kitchen door that led in from the garage, he had deposited a large cardboard box on the floor. Sarah, who was cooking dinner, wiped her hands on her apron and looked at the box with interest. Judging by the airholes punched in the sides, and the accompanying scrabbling sounds, the box obviously contained an animal of some sort. "May I ask what it is, Sir?" "Sure," he replied. "In fact, why don't you go ahead and open it?" Sarah turned down the heat on the stove, then dropped to her knees and examined the packing tape holding the top flaps of the box down. Reaching up for the vegetable knife, she slid through the tape and opened the box. Her eyes lit up as a little head popped out, all silky golden ears, pink lolling tongue and melting, chocolate brown eyes. "Oh!" she said, breathed, delighted. "He's beautiful! What is he? A spaniel? Is he yours? What's his name?" The questions tumbled out in a rush as she gathered the little dog in her arms and gently lifted him out the box. "He is a she," corrected S. It's a spaniel crossbreed, not a puppy, but not an adult dog yet. Friends asked if I wanted her because they're going overseas. I thought you'd like some company." "I love her already!" said Sarah, cuddling the little dog as she wriggled in her arms. The dog was gorgeous, and it seemed to be smiling at her with a big, goofy grin. She was far too taken with the animal to wonder about Sir's uncharacteristic concern for welfare while he wasn't there. She checked the red collar around the dog's neck, but there was no identifying tag. "What's her name?" "CL." "Different," said Sarah, wrinkling her nose. "Why CL?" "Because I said so," snapped S, washing his hands. "Now, put the dog down, and finish making dinner. I'm starving." Sarah scurried to do his bidding, leaving the new arrival to explore the house. Looking back now, Sarah knew she was glad of the dog's presence. CL helped while away the long, lonely hours, and she often chatted to her as she went about her daily tasks. The two of them bonded, and CL rarely left her side, even sleeping with her at the foot of her bed. Although she was on her own much of the time, as the days passed Sarah had been allowed more and more freedom, and now she had the run of almost the entire house. But S still locked her inside every morning before he left, and there was no phone that she could find. She supposed it was in the rooms that she didn't have access to - his bedroom, and his study. Even CL had more freedom than she did; the little dog was able to access the outside world through a dog door S had cut into the kitchen door. Anyway, Sarah knew escape was futile. Firstly, apart from the brief apron she was allowed to wear when cooking or cleaning, S didn't permit her to wear clothes unless they went out. Secondly, the house was isolated and far from the nearest signs of civilization. Sarah had only been outside the house twice since they'd arrived, once to the tattoo parlor, and once to the grocery store in town to get some toiletries and other basics she needed. S purposely hadn't blindfolded her for that shopping trip, and from the car windows, she saw that S lived on several acres of land. It was a couple of miles at least down a dirt track from the house to the road, and apart from a small, pretty garden immediately about the house, wild coastal scrub surrounded the house and track on all sides. At the end of the track, a padlocked and chained gate was connected to a perimeter fence, which separated the house from the outside world. It was another 45 minutes by car at least into the town itself, and Sarah saw very few vehicles indeed during the trip to town and back. Sarah got the message. She was trapped. The house itself was built almost on the edge of a cliff that fell away to the ocean. In quiet times, Sarah sometimes sat in front of the huge floor to ceiling lounge room windows that looked out over the sea and watched the gulls swoop and dive and shriek on the wind. Because of the way the house was designed, it sometimes seemed as if there were nothing but a sheer drop between the glass and the bubbling, tumbling ocean far below. No, she couldn't escape. She had nothing to wear if she did, and nowhere to go. And the harsh, stony dirt track would surely cut her bare feet to ribbons before she even got within spitting distance of the main road. Sarah decided to bide her time and wait until S dropped his guard, then plan her eventual escape as and when that happened. Truth be told, living at S' house wasn't as bad as she thought it would be. He was gone such a lot of the time, and all she had to do was clean the house and cook his meals and do his laundry. It was a beautiful house, simply furnished with quiet, understated elegance. No clutter, just clean lines and lots of air and light. Sarah supposed there were worse places to be imprisoned, and S didn't treat her badly. Not like on the island. In fact, since that first day when he'd spanked her on the bed for disobeying his instructions, he hadn't laid a finger on her. Curled up on the sofa in front of the vast expanse of glass in the living room, Sarah pondered on that peculiarity as she'd done for a few days now, then wondered again why she cared. But...didn't he find her attractive? Didn't she please him? Is this all he wanted her to do? To clean his house and cook his meals? Clean up after he and CL? If that were the case, surely he could hire domestic help from the town to service his needs. He certainly didn't need to kidnap someone for that, she thought. Watching the sun set over the water as she waited for him to come home with CL curled at her feet, Sarah cast her mind back to the time on the beach on the island when S had fisted her so ruthlessly on the sand. She winced as she remembered the pain, then blushed as she remembered how she'd orgasmed so violently, writhing in the sand, impaled on his hand. So brutal, but so strong, so handsome. So...male. And she felt so very female in his presence. Suddenly lonely and yearning for human contact, Sarah thought of the way he prowled around the house like a big, wild cat, and the way his muscles rippled beneath his skin as he performed even the most simple of tasks. The way his long legs draped carelessly over the arm of the sofa as he watched television in the evenings, and the way his eyes bored into hers when he told her to do something. The way he'd held her hand when she was scared in the tattoo parlor. He'd called her beautiful once, too, just before he'd taken her off the island with him. Didn't he think of her that way any more? Was he angry with her? Sarah decided to ask him if he was displeased with her just as soon as he arrived home. Satisfied with her decision, but still not sure why it mattered so to her, she returned to the gleaming kitchen and began to prepare his dinner, CL padding after her in the hope of a sly scrap or two. Later that night, after S had eaten and was drinking a large glass of red wine on the deep sofa in the lounge, Sarah finished doing the dishes and crept into the room. She thought carefully about how to broach the subject. Unless he spoke to her directly, S only allowed Sarah to speak if she asked permission first. "Excuse me, Sir, may I speak?" she asked, just as she'd been trained to do. "What?" said S, watching Sarah as he swirled his wine in the large, crystal glass. "Uh, well, I was wondering if you wanted me to do anything else, Sir?" she said haltingly, twisting the hem of her apron unconsciously in her hands. "Anything else? Like what? You've done the dishes, haven't you?" "Yes, Sir, but I meant...well, something else other than housework and cooking and stuff. You know, just other... stuff." S put his glass down and looked at the blushing, stuttering girl in front of him and smiled lazily. "No, I don't know. I'm many things, but I'm not a mind reader. So, why don't you spell it out for me?" It was too much for Sarah, and she lost her nerve. "On second thoughts," she said in a rush, "don't worry about it. It's nothing, really. Uh, I think I'll go to bed now, if that's okay. G'night." Sarah turned and hurried towards the door, feeling like an idiot. CL followed, hot on her heels. "Come back. Now." The command was quiet, but firm, and it stopped Sarah in her tracks. She turned slowly and walked back into the room. S pointed to a spot just in front of him. "Stand there." Sarah hesitantly took up the position and looked down at her feet, unable to meet his eyes. "Now," he said, silkily, "what else would you possibly think I'd like you to do for me?" "Umm, well, I just wondered why you needed to kidnap me if all you want me to do is cook and clean?" Sarah spoke quickly, her words tumbling over themselves in an effort to get the ordeal over and done with. "Other than cooking and cleaning, what else would I have my slut slave do for me, Sarah?" Sarah bit her lip nervously, wishing she'd never brought it up in the first place. "Umm...wash the windows?" she said, casting around desperately for something, anything, to get her off the hook. S stood and slapped her across the face, leaving a stinging red handprint behind on her cheek. CL whined and darted behind the couch. Sarah gasped with shock, then cried out as he caught a handful of her hair in his hand and twisted her head up so she was looking at him. "Never lie to me, bitch," he said in calm, measured tones. "And, I'll remind you that you brought this up, not me. You started it, and you'll finish it. Now, what else would I want you do for me?" "I just thought you might want to...umm...have sex with me or something, that's all," she whispered, humiliated beyond belief. "You know, like on the island." S released Sarah's hair and laughed nastily. "Have sex with you? Why in the world would I want to do that?" Sarah wished the ground would open up and swallow her down. Never in her life had she felt so stupid, so embarrassed. What was she thinking? "I thought you liked me!" she whimpered, distressed. "Why is that?" he asked, amused. "Well, because you took me with you, and because you said you thought I was pretty and, well, I just thought you might want to because you seemed to like doing it on the island and...because..." Sarah's voice trailed off miserably. S ignored her, but stepped even closer to her and bent down and snarled, "If I wanted to fuck you, don't you think I'd just go ahead and do it?" Sarah realized that was indeed what S would do. S glared at her through narrowed eyes. "You know what I think, slut?" "No, Sir," whispered Sarah. "I think you want me to fuck you, don't you? It's not about what I want; it's about what you want. Isn't it?" "No, Sir!" protested Sarah, shuffling her feet. "Ah, I see. You don't want me to fuck you, but you thought you'd offer yourself so graciously to me. So, what now? I'm supposed to fall upon you with gratitude, and fuck you? You're doing me a favor? Is that it?" "No!" Without warning, S lowered his face to Sarah's and kissed her deeply, plundering her soft, full lips with his, molding her lush curves against his hard body. His large hands slipped under her apron and roamed over her warm, naked curves. She shuddered as he cupped her ass with his hands and drew her closer to him, kissing her all the while. Starved of affection and human contact, Sarah literally melted in his arms. Raising his head and pressing his lips against his ears, he growled, "Do you want me to fuck you?" "No! Yes!" groaned Sarah, her head spinning and her legs shaking as his voice resonated through her head, sending her senses soaring. "Poor, confused little slut," he crooned, untying Sarah's apron and slipping it over her head, leaving her naked. He caught one of her rosy nipples between his teeth. Nipping it gently, he swirled his tongue around the delicate nub as he slid one of his large hands between her legs and delved between her soaked pussy lips, his thumb resting lightly on her engorged clit while his fingers danced lightly at the entrance to her wet cunt. Sarah moaned as she ground her hips down shamelessly on his hand, trying desperately to suck his fingers inside her aching, open cunt. "You're just one, big cunt, aren't you?" he whispered, slipping a finger inside her warm, wet hole. "Do you like that, slut? Do you want me to fuck you? Allow you to cum for me?" He slid a second finger inside her, his thumb circling over her clit with ever increasing pressure. "Yes!" gasped Sarah, her head thrown back as she succumbed to the pleasure shuddering through her body. His fingers swirled inside her, reducing her to a quivering, trembling puddle of lust. S kissed Sarah again, his fingers buried deep inside her, his thumb still massaging her clit as his tongue slipped inside her mouth and danced with hers. "Beg for it, bitch," murmured S, his teeth nipping gently at the soft skin of her neck. Sliding his fingers out of her juicy cunt as she moaned, he said, "Get on your knees, and beg me to fuck you, beg me to let you cum. Beg for me, baby." Sarah slid to her knees before him, drunk with desperation. "Please, Sir, please fuck me. Please," she begged, looking up at him with huge, pleading eyes. "I'll do anything for you, please fuck me!" S held up his hand, her juices glistening on his fingers. "Look, slut. Look how wet you are, look at how you creamed all over me. Such a wet, hot, bitch, aren't you?" He traced one of his wet fingers over her mouth, following the rosy contours. "Lick yourself from my fingers," he commanded, and Sarah did as she was told, her pink tongue flicking over her lips. As she sucked his warm, sticky fingers, she could smell and taste her own sluttishness, but she didn't care. All she could focus on was S, and what he was doing to her. His groin was near her face as she kneeled before him and she reached blindly for his belt, still sucking her pussy juices from his hand. "Don't," he snapped, slapping her hand away. "You'll do as you're told, I'm in control here, not you. Clear?" "Yes, Sir," groaned Sarah, frustrated. "But please, please, please fuck me," she begged, aching to feel his hard body against hers. "Please!" S looked at the helpless, whimpering girl begging at his feet, her blonde curls wild and tousled around her flushed face, her lips gleaming with her own cunt juice, her nipples hard and erect. Sarah was feverish with desire, desperate for pleasure. Frustration and longing oozed out of every pore. His eyes narrowed and hardened into glittering chips of blue steel. "What will you do to cum, slut?" he said, with a cruel edge in his voice. "What will you do for me?" "Anything, Sir!" blurted Sarah, her eyes locked on his. "I'll do anything." "Anything? Are you sure?" "Yes!" wailed Sarah, catching her bottom lip between her teeth as he toyed with her nipples, rolling them between his fingers and thumbs. S kneeled on the floor in front of her, and kissed her again, his hands playing over her ass, tracing the lines of her tattoo. Sarah fell into him, grinding her hips against his hard, strong body in a desperate desire to get nearer to him. "Anything?" he growled again, his lips close to her ear, his hand thrusting between her legs, seeking her soaking pussy once more. His thumb found her clit and she almost came on the spot as he rubbed it expertly, bringing her closer and closer to the edge. "ANYTHING!" Abruptly, his hand was gone, leaving her unfulfilled and panting. He stood, and loomed over her with his hands on his hips. "On your back, legs spread and bent at the knees," he snapped harshly. Sarah did as she was told immediately, looking up at him with dizzy, blurred eyes. "Call the dog," he said. Sarah's forehead wrinkled as his words sunk in. "Wha...?" "Shut up, and do it." "CL!" Sarah called, confused. There came a scrabble of paws on the polished boards as CL scrambled out from the couch she'd crawled behind earlier. The little dog scurried over to Sarah and sat beside her head as she lay on the floor, grinning stupidly at her mistress. "Did you ever wonder why the dog's called CL?" asked Sir, in a conversational tone of voice. "Uh, yes, Sir, I asked you that when you first brought her home," replied Sarah, baffled by this turn of events. "CL. It stands for cunt licker, slut. And, as I recall, you agreed you'd do anything for me, anything to be allowed to cum." Sarah looked frantically between CL, panting happily at her head, and S, standing over her, his eyes glinting. He smiled wickedly at Sarah's horrified expression as realization dawned on her. "Anything, slut."
Part 8 Sarah just looked up at him, aghast. "Don't you move a fucking muscle, bitch. You'll regret it if you do," warned Sir, turning and walking into the kitchen. Sarah dared not move; she knew what he was capable of. She stayed right where she was - on her back on the hard polished boards in the middle of the lounge room floor, knees bent, legs spread wide. In her dazed state, she could hear S moving around in the kitchen, opening cupboards and banging drawers. As he came back in the room, CL left Sarah's side and bounded over to him, tail wagging in delight. The spaniel had spotted the open can in his hand; she could smell its contents. Dog food! Sarah thought, now more confused than ever. Surely he wasn't going to feed CL in here? What the hell was going on? S squatted down beside Sarah. CL sat down, too, and looked eagerly at S. She was hungry, and wanted to be fed. "Listen to me, slut," he ordered. "CL is going to eat her dinner from your cunt. I'm not going to tie you up, you will just accept it." Sarah mewled in distress and shook her head. "No, Sir," she pleaded, "Please don't make me do this, I don't want to!" she wailed, her face crumpling. "Shut up! Open you mouth again, and I'll gag you and flog you to within an inch of your life," he threatened. Sarah knew he meant it. There was nothing she could do. So she lay frozen and silent on the floor, awaiting his next move. Sarah heard the unmistakable sound of S snapping a thin, surgical glove on his hand, then flinched as he scooped a handful of food from the can and smeared it over her cunt. Despite herself, she shivered as his fingers glided over her clit, mashing the food between her moist folds. Another scoop, and he pushed some of the food inside her, his movements firm and purposeful. He handled her with such competence, Sarah thought dizzily and she found her hips rising up to meet his hand against her will as he rubbed a third handful along her pink slit. With his thumb on her clit and two of his gloved fingers shoved deep in her pussy, he kissed Sarah with crushing urgency while she moaned beneath him, her cunt full of dog food and fingers, her mouth full of his probing, insistent tongue. He kissed her sinuously, sensuously as he thumbed her juicy, dog food coated clit and Sarah succumbed to the stirring sensations in her body, fighting a losing battle between perceived right and wrong. "You're a slut, aren't you?" he growled, his eyes boring into hers, hypnotizing her with his control. "Yes, Sir," she groaned, her hips bucking under his fingers as he continued to manipulate her, driving her mad. "Yes, I'm a slut, Sir," she gasped. "You'll do this for me, won't you, baby?" he whispered, watching the helpless, tormented girl writhe beneath his hand. "You want to do this, don't you?" he said, softly, insistently. Sarah nodded frantically, shamefully unable to verbalize her answer. "Say it, slut," he ordered. "Say you want CL to lick your cunt." He watched her closely as Sarah wrestled with her conscience, desperate to cum but equally desperate not to want the dog to be the cause of it. "I want CL to lick my cunt, Sir," she whispered at last, and S's eyes gleamed with triumph. He withdrew his fingers from her cunt with a squelch and packed one last handful of food into her pussy before he stood between Sarah's spread legs and snapped off the glove. He looked around for the dog, who was watching proceedings with great interest. "Come here," he barked, and the dog scrambled over Sarah's legs to stand at his feet. The spaniel's glistening nose quivered as she looked intently at S. She could smell the food and a little string of drool escaped her muzzle, puddling on the floorboards. "Sit!" commanded S, and CL obeyed immediately. She'd been trained to sit and wait before being allowed to eat, and to the little dog, this was no different to any other mealtime. "Stay," he said softly, stepping out from between Sarah's legs. CL didn't move, but gazed at S, her eyes never leaving him as he moved aside. Sarah watched him, too, biting her bottom lip between her teeth. "Look at you both," he smirked. "One bitch waiting to eat and another bitch, waiting to be eaten!" Sarah flushed with shame, her body a seething mass of tumbled tortured emotions. She shivered in morbid anticipation as she awaited the next command, the final command, with baited breath. She fought the urge to rise and run screaming from the room, closing her eyes tightly for what seemed an eternity. "Eat." CL fell on Sarah in ravenous delight, her cold snout buried in Sarah's pussy as her rough, red tongue lapped at the food. Sarah cried out fiercely, body tense and her fists clenched as she felt the dog's tongue on her, then in her, as CL snaked inside Sarah's cunt in an effort to access the food. "Relax, baby, relax," murmured S as he watched the scene unfolding before him, an aura of supreme command and control encircling him. "Just relax, let go, let it happen..." His words washed over Sarah and she surrendered to him, allowed herself to be carried away, deep into oblivion. Her world shrunk; all that existed was she, He and what she was feeling. Saliva mingled with dog food mingled with wetness, and Sarah felt the first stirrings of orgasm sweep through her as the dog's silky ears brushed gently against her creamy, spread thighs, CL's whiskers tickling Sarah's ass cheeks as her tongue delved deeper, deeper and deeper still. "Do you want to cum, slut?" he asked the feverish girl, twisting and turning on the floor at his feet. CL's tongue washed over Sarah's pussy, licking everything she could find. Sarah cried out as the dog's hot, rough tongue burrowed deeply into her cunt, pushing apart her tight, pink walls, scooping out the food S had pushed deep inside her. The lapping was relentless and insistent, driving Sarah closer and closer to the edge of blistering orgasm. "Yes!" begged Sarah, wretchedly. "Please let me cum, Sir, please!" The food was almost gone; CL had done her job well. The dog hunted and snuffled for the last traces of food, licking more and more urgently as the morsels became fewer and fewer. Sarah responded by bucking her hips to meet the dog's searching muzzle, her desperation to cum pushing aside all sanity and reason. She couldn't get enough of the dog's tongue sliding and gliding over her clit as it stabbed into her wet, soaked hole, her sharp canine teeth grazing Sarah's delicate skin with exquisite sensation. "You can come, slut," he said softly, his eyes narrowing as Sarah exploded before him Sarah had no control, she was helplessly at the mercy of S, and CL by default, but she didn't care. Sarah was past caring. Long, shuddering sobs racked her body as she came violently, her pussy muscles clenching as waves of pleasure ripped through her. She held the little dog's silken head in a vice-like grip as her thighs squeezed together in an unconscious desire to prolong the moment. Whining in protest, all the food gone, CL wriggled out from between Sarah's legs and sat off to the side, licking her chops. As the last of her orgasm died, Sarah lay exhausted on the floor, drained and flushed. She couldn't believe what she'd just done - she'd allowed a dog to lick her cunt! And... she'd actually cum! As realization dawned on her, the tears started, hot wet tears that streamed silently down her face. Filled with shame and humiliation, she curled tightly into a little defensive ball on the floor, knees up to her breasts, arms clutched tightly around her legs. She wanted to disappear, she loved CL and she couldn't believe S had reduced her to this. Sarah thought she hated him, hated him for what he made her do. Her shoulders shook as she sobbed in hopeless despair. S watched her silently. Then, he bent down and shook her shoulder. "Get up," he ordered. Sarah shook her head, refusing to look at him. "Do as you're told," he snapped, steel in his voice. Sarah didn't move for a moment. Then, she uncurled herself and got to her feet, her face streaked with tears and her legs shaking. She couldn't look at S; she was too distraught, too ashamed. "Did you like that?" he asked, catching her jaw in a firm grip, forcing Sarah to look at him. She didn't answer. "I think you did, Sarah. In fact, I know you did. Your body betrayed you, didn't it?" "You made me do terrible things!" she spat. "I never would have done that! What's wrong with you? I'm a prisoner here, I do what I'm told, I clean your fucking house, I cook for you, I do everything you tell me, and it's still not good enough. You have to humiliate me as well. What's wrong with you?" "Nothing's wrong with me," he said, ignoring her rudeness. "I am what I am. You are, too," he added. Sarah looked at him, puzzled. "What do you mean, I am too?" she asked, her brow furrowed with confusion. "Come and sit down," he said, walking towards the couch. He picked her discarded apron up off the floor and spread it on the sofa for her to sit on. Sarah hesitated warily, unsure of what to do. "Hurry up!" he said impatiently, patting the seat beside him. Sarah obeyed. S relaxed into the corner of the sofa, arms folded lightly across his chest. He looked at her lazily as she sat beside him, body rigid. "You're submissive, Sarah," he said simply. "You're the other half to my Dominance, I sensed you as soon as I met you. Well, maybe not as soon as we met, but certainly after that first night in the hut," he corrected. Sarah looked at him, eyes wide, lips parted in amazement. "We didn't meet, you kidnapped me!" she protested. "Yes, that's true," he agreed. "But aintcha kinda glad I did?" He smirked and raised an eyebrow. Despite herself, Sarah smiled. She loved his arrogance, his confidence. "Natural, wanton, helpless, desperate, submissive, little slut," he murmured, twirling one of her curls around his fingers. "A rare prize, indeed." "But...wha... I don't understand," she said helplessly. "What does it mean?" "You crave control, Sarah. You're desperate to please, you know you'll do anything for me. Don't you?" he snapped. Sarah nodded slowly. "Maybe," she replied, her head spinning. "But I'm not a doormat, I'm not weak," she said, defiantly, her eyes spitting shards of green glass. "Submissives are the strongest people I know," replied S. "I love your spirit, your fire. Dominance isn't about breaking, it's about control. Why would I break my favourite toy? What would be the point? But I'll push your boundaries, reduce you to your basest level. And I'll keep you safe while I do it, protect you while you squirm helplessly at my feet, begging me to fuck you, use you, own you, control you. I'll strip your soul bare, expose your deepest, darkest secrets, delve into your mind, twist inside you. Live in you. Tell me you don't want that, Sarah. Tell me I'm wrong. Tell me you don't need it." Sarah couldn't speak. Her mind was racing. "Go take a shower, think about what I've said, then come back here," he said at last. When she returned, fresh and clean, S was standing by the windows, looking out over the ocean. "You can go, Sarah," he said, his voice cold and hard. "I'll drive you to the airport, there's a flight tomorrow afternoon that will take you home." Blind panic rose in Sarah as he spoke. She realised she loved this man, this wild and dangerous and complicated man who had snatched her off a beach and fucked her and humiliated her and tattooed her and used her. She loved him. She didn't want to leave him. She knew she didn't want to go. "But... but... Sir?" she stammered her voice quavering. He looked at her. "Uh, I don't want to go, Sir," she said, her chin wobbling. "But you can go home, Sarah. Back to your family and friends. Back to your world, back where you belong. Forget you ever knew me." "NO!" she blurted, "I don't want that! I want to stay, please let me stay with you!" "If you stay, Sarah, it will be on my terms. You are my submissive; you will do as you're told. I can be cruel, Sarah, you should know that. I won't tolerate disobedience, or rudeness, or sneaky, underhanded attempts at manipulation. I'm willing to patient with you to an extent, because you're new to this. But, fuck with me, and you'll regret it. There will be no second chances. Do you understand?" Sarah nodded, her eyes big and wide. S pointed at the floor before him. "Kneel." Sarah walked hesitantly across the room towards where he stood in front of the huge windows, her towel clutched around her. It fell to the floor as she knelt naked before him, head bowed. "Please me," he ordered. Sarah's hands trembled as she unzipped his pants. She reached for his cock through his shorts. S' hands were in her hair, pressing her face into him, his cock rubbing against her moist, full lips. He wasn't quite hard yet, but as she greedily took him into her mouth, she could feel him growing, thickening, and hardening as her warm wetness enveloped him. Sarah gasped as she felt S' hands pulling her hair, pulling her head up so she was forced to look at him, her mouth stuffed full of his cock. "Do you want me to fuck your mouth, slut? Do you deserve to have me come down your throat, over your face, in your hair?" Although she couldn't talk, S could see the answer plainly in her eyes... yes, Sarah wanted all that, yes, she wanted him to fuck her mouth, yes, she wanted him to use her. Needed him to use her. And use her he did, thrusting into her warm, willing mouth again and again as she sucked, licked and lapped at his cock, her teeth grazing lightly over him as she tried desperately to swallow as much of him as could, almost choking as he plunged deeper and deeper into her mouth and down the soft back of her throat. "I love your cock, Sir," she sighed, her mouth full of his hardness. "I'm a cock hungry, cock sucking slut..." she gasped, as he fucked her face, ruthlessly using her. Sarah massaged his balls in rhythm with her mouth, as if she were milking him. Her tongue was slipping, sliding all over him as she sucked him in as deep as she could manage her free hand clutching at his ass as she rocked on her knees before him, trying to keep balanced. He thrust into her mouth harder and faster, no concern for her comfort. Sarah sensed S was getting close to cumming so she sucked him as deeply and rhythmically as she could, her fingers cupping his balls as she urged him on. Sarah wanted him to cum, wanted him to use her and cum in her mouth, all that mattered was pleasing him. Finally, S exploded and Sarah felt his hot, thick cum flooding her mouth and throat. In her eagerness, his cock slipped from her lips, splashing cum across her cheeks and down her chin, onto her breasts. She shivered as S traced his index finger across her cum soaked face, gathering his seed. He fed it to her and she took it eagerly, desperate to taste him. "You've pleased me," he said softly, wiping his cock with her hair, then zipping himself back into his pants. "Wait there." Sarah remained naked on her knees, her face pink and shining with his cum. She heard him call the dog, and wondered what he was doing. He returned, CL's leather collar in his hands. "Head down," he snapped, and she obeyed, her blonde curls tumbling about her face as she bent her head. He pushed her hair aside, then fastened the collar around her neck. "I own you, now, bitch," he said, jerking her head up with a handful of hair, the collar red against her pale throat. "You are mine."
Part 9 Sarah lay naked on the cold tiles of the bathroom floor, her hands cuffed behind her and her ankles lashed together. She wriggled in a vain attempt to get comfortable. As she did, she felt the balls that Sir had pushed so deeply into her cunt that morning roll inside her. Squirming in paroxysms of torturous pleasure, she sang loudly to herself, trying desperately to block the sounds of the relaxation tape playing softly and insistently in the background. A waterfall. That's what the CD was playing, the maddening, relentless sound of a tumbling, churning waterfall. Recorded birds sang in the background and at any other time, in any other place, the sounds would have been exactly as the composer intended them to be - relaxing. But not now, not here. Now, it was torture, pure and simple. Before leaving for work that morning, S looked at her over his newspaper with a dangerous glint in his eye as Sarah prepared his breakfast. Blissfully unaware and humming softly as she peeled, chopped and diced, Sarah knew she was the happiest woman in the world. "Loads of fresh fruit, Sir, and look!" she crowed, brandishing a bowl of deep red strawberries for his inspection."First pickings from the garden, I can't believe they did so well, I was sure the insects would get them all!" Carrying on a steady stream of chatter, her breasts bouncing under her apron as she went about her work, she added the strawberries to the fruit salad, tipped a pot of yogurt over the top, scooped out a passionfruit to sweeten the deal, and put the bowl in front of him. "You're not eating?" he asked, digging in. "No, Sir, if it pleases you, Sir, I'll eat a bit later. I'm not hungry right now, but I'll make a coffee. Would you like one?" Sarah turned to get the coffee beans from the freezer. "No thanks," he replied. "You're not having one, either." Sarah stopped in her tracks, her reaching hand frozen in mid-air. "Uh, as you wish, Sir," she said, suddenly unsure. After months together, he still had the power to catch her off guard and it always rattled her. She never knew what to expect from him. Sarah had relinquished total control to him. He told her what he wanted, when he wanted it. And, without question, she did it. "Are you thirsty, slut?" he asked mildly, amused at her uncertainty. "Mmm, well, not really," she answered, truthfully. Sarah had also learned not to second guess him, or tell him what she thought he wanted to hear. It had been a long process fraught with difficulty, but he'd finally trained her not to do it. She had the scars on her ass from a couple of canings to prove it. "I just wanted my morning caffeine fix, is all." "Water," mused S. "I don't think you drink enough water, do you?" "I've never really thought about it, Sir," replied Sarah. "Well, I have. And, I've decided you don't drink enough. So, right here, right now, you're going to drink a litre of it before I go. Make it snappy, I don't have long." Obeying instantly, Sarah went to the fridge and pulled out a bottle of mineral water. Breaking the seal and pouring the liquid into a glass, she settled at the table opposite her Master and began drinking. S watched her down the first glass, and start on the second. Halfway through, she put the glass down and sighed. "I'm just not used to drinking so much..." "Shut the fuck up and drink. Don't speak unless you're spoken to." Sarah winced at the ice in his voice and hastily gulped the water, forcing it down her throat, though her belly was filling rapidly and she was almost full. At last, the litre was finished and she set the glass down, wondering what was next. "Clear the table. Move everything off. Do it now." Sarah leapt to her feet, collecting dishes and cutlery and glasses. Two trips to the sink, and everything was gone. "May I?" she asked timidly, reaching for S' discarded newspaper. "Put it on the counter, then take your apron off and lie on the table, knees up, legs spread," he snapped. Sarah hurried to do his bidding. She felt a desperate urge to pee as she scurried across the room, paper in hand. "Sir?" she asked, flushing with embarrassment. "What?" he answered a look of annoyance flitting across his face. "I see you're still not on that fucking table yet! Don't piss me off, slut," he warned. "Please, Sir, may I go to the toilet first?" she asked, hopping from foot to foot. The water had passed through her at a rate of knots; she was dying to go. S' eyes gleamed. "No," he said decisively. "Just do as you're fucking told." Sarah clambered onto the table, sliding herself down so her ass was in the centre. Spreading her legs and raising her knees, she hoped, hoped, hoped he'd get whatever he was doing with her over and done with quickly, because she was sure she was going to wet herself. S traced a finger along the bare, shaved lips of her pussy. Sarah shivered; she loved it when he touched her. She was instantly wet, her lips glistening juicily in the morning sun as he parted her folds with his long fingers, probing between them. "Wet, you're always fucking wet," he sneered, pushing his fingers into her. "Yes, Sir," she moaned, because she was. "Such a little slut, just one big cunt," he said, shrugging off his jacket and draping it over one of the chairs. Pulling a set of Chinese balls from his pocket, he weighed them in the palm of his hand as he watched Sarah wriggle on the smooth, wooden tabletop. Rubbing the balls against her wetness, he slid the first one deep into her with one rough movement, pushing and pushing until it would go no further. He gave the second ball a gentle tug, laughing as Sarah groaned in pleasurable discomfort. "Problem?" he asked, raising an eyebrow. "No, Sir, I like it, Sir, but I need to go to the toilet, Sir," said Sarah, her belly full and uncomfortable. She was sure she could feel the ball pressing against her distended bladder. "I don't give a shit whether you like it or not, or whether you need to go to the toilet," said S evenly, as he pushed the second ball slowly into her warm, wet cunt. His fingers poked the ball deep inside her, not stopping until it met the first one with a soft click. Sarah moaned in desperation. She knew she'd be in worlds of trouble if she wet herself on the table, especially if she wet S. He was so particular about his clothes and he would definitely not appreciate having one of his favourite suits urinated on. "Up," he ordered, and Sarah rose with relief. Ordinarily, she'd be begging to be allowed to cum by now but she was distracted by her need to pee. She felt the balls roll deliciously inside her as she moved. "Please may I got to the bathroom now, Sir?" she asked, her big eyes looking at him pleadingly. "Why not. Sounds like a good idea," said S. "In fact, I'll come with you." Sarah flushed with embarrassment. Was he going to watch her go? She wasn't sure she liked that idea at all. "Hurry up!" he snarled, pushing her towards the door. "I haven't got all day." Sarah hurried down the corridor towards the bathroom, her bare ass wiggling as she did. Not that she even noticed, she was used to being mostly naked these days. "Wait!" instructed S, just as she reached the door. Sarah froze, but turned and looked at him questioningly. "Can I just go to..." "Shut up. Hands behind your back," said S, ignoring her half-asked question and plucking a pair of steel handcuffs from his pocket. Sarah complied, but silently wondered what else he had secreted about his person. First the balls, now these! She flinched as the harsh steel encircled her wrists. "On the floor, face down" he commanded, opening one of the bathroom cupboards and extracting a length of chain. Sarah dropped to her knees, then lay down. She shivered as her breasts squashed against the cold tiles, her skin pricking with gooseflesh as S bent down and attached one end of the chain to the collar she wore permanently around her neck. Attaching the other end of the chain to the towel rail, he pulled on the link to check it was secure. It was. Then, whipping off his tie, he lashed her ankles together tightly. "I'll be back around lunchtime. If I see any evidence you've tried to escape, the consequences will be severe," he threatened. "Clear?" "Yes Sir," whispered Sarah. "You know that's one of my favourite ties, don't you? It would be a shame if it were...ruined." Sarah looked down. It was indeed one of his favourites. "Yes, Sir," she agreed, immediately recognising the unspoken message. "Right then, we understand each other. I'm going, have fun." Sarah listened as his footsteps receded. In a final devilish act, S detoured past the lounge, slipped a CD in the CD player and flicked it on. Sarah groaned as the sounds of the waterfall flooded through the air - the stereo system fed into all the rooms in the house through concealed speakers, including the bathroom. Then, he was gone. Sarah lay quietly on the bathroom floor for several minutes after the noise of the car disappeared down the drive. Driven to distraction by the uncomfortable fullness in her bladder made even worse by the relentless sound of the waterfall, she began to test her bonds. There was no way she could make it until lunchtime to go to the toilet. Besides, she hadn't been told she couldn't go to the toilet, she reasoned. All she'd been told was that she couldn't escape. So, if she could make it the loo still chained, lashed and handcuffed, she wouldn't be disobeying. Flipping onto her back, Sarah sat up with a degree of difficulty. Inching awkwardly along the tiles on her bottom, Sarah struck out for the toilet in the corner of the bathroom. The balls inside her cunt rolled and tumbled as she moved, sending waves of pleasure through her. A warning tug on her collar stopped her. She realised with distress that the chain didn't reach far as the toilet, she was mere inches away, but there was nowhere near enough chain to let her get to the loo. She was stuck. Sarah decided to make the best of a bad situation. Resigned to her plight, she settled down for a long wait, but the floor was cold and hard and uncomfortable, the music was driving her mad, and her desire to pee was getting stronger by the minute. She wriggled around, trying to hold it in, and every time she did, the balls rolled inside her, increasing her torment. An hour crawled by, then two. Sarah realised S had the CD on repeat, because it played over and over again. There was no escape, no end to her misery. The minutes ticked by, each one an age, and Sarah's thighs began to ache from clenching them so tightly together to stop herself from peeing. Three hours into her torment, and Sarah couldn't hold on any longer. In desperation, she thought about letting a little, just a little urine loose. Perhaps if she did, she reasoned, the awful pressure would ease a bit. The thought was tempting but she was mindful of wetting S' favourite tie - he would discipline her harshly if she spoiled it. But she could bear it no longer. Relaxing a little, she allowed a thin stream to trickle out of her distended bladder and it was all she could do to stop before she released the lot in a warm yellow puddle on the bathroom tiles. It made things worse. Her bladder was awake and screaming now, demanding to be emptied. She wriggled frantically on the floor, the balls tipping and turning inside her, taunting and teasing her. And still the music played, driving her to distraction. Sarah cried with frustration and helplessness, her hair plastered to her forehead in damp strands as she tried valiantly to control herself. Finally, the sound of tyres crunching on the gravel outside. The door opening, then S' footsteps on the floor. He loomed in the bathroom doorway, surveying his frantic, captive slave. "Please, Sir, please let me go to the bathroom!" begged Sarah, her face red and tearstained. "Please!" S clicked his tongue in feigned disappointment. "Such impatience, such rudeness! You didn't even ask about my morning," he sighed, furrowing his brow with an injured expression. Sarah swore she could see a small crocodile tear gathering in the corner of his eye. "How was your morning, Sir?" she asked politely through gritted teeth, every movement now a mixture of exquisite agony and delight. "Hmm, not bad," S replied conversationally. "I'm gonna get a drink, you want one?" He eyed her craftily as he moved toward the sink, his hand hovering over the tooth glass on the vanity. "Please, Sir, please let me go to the toilet!" wailed Sarah, certain she couldn't hold on much longer. It had been hours, she was desperate. "We've had this conversation before, I'm sure, but I'll remind you because I'm such a nice guy," said S, running the tap and slowly filling his glass. He didn't turn it off and the sound of trickling water bounced through the room, adding to Sarah's torment. "It's not about what you want, is it?" "No, Sir, I'm sorry, Sir" cried Sarah. She was going to wet herself, she just knew it. "Glad we got it sorted," said S, crouching beside Sarah with the glass of water. He put it to her lips. "Drink it." S tipped the water slowly into Sarah's mouth, spilling some of it over her breasts and belly. Sarah groaned in protest as she felt her bladder heave threateningly. "Good girl," murmured S as she finished. "I"ll untie you, you may relieve yourself." Sarah sighed in gratitude as he unlocked her cuffs, then untied her ankles, and then released the chain from her collar. She lurched to her feet, her muscles stiff and aching after so long in bondage. She made for the toilet in desperation, the balls rolling madly in her cunt, she was almost there, the end was in sight. "Stop!" snapped S, icily. Sarah stopped inches from the toilet, her face a mask of agony as she hopped from foot to foot. "In the bath. Crouch and piss in the bath." Sarah blushed deep, crimson red, her hand fluttering about her throat as she heard his instruction. She was desperate to go, so desperate she'd use the toilet in front of him but... pee in the bath? Waves of humiliation swept over Sarah as she stood before him like a rabbit transfixed in headlights. "I...I can't!" she stuttered, she'd never gone to the bathroom in front of anyone before! "Do it now." Sarah climbed into the bath and crouched on the porcelain bottom, balancing herself on the rim with her hands. "Spread your legs and remove the balls. Do not wet yourself until I tell you to do so." Sarah tugged gently on the string protruding from her pussy. The balls shifted slightly, the movement angering her bursting bladder. Pulling a little more firmly, she winced in pleasurable discomfort as the first ball popped from her pussy. She resisted the overwhelming urge to pee as she pulled the second ball free. Silence hung in the air for long moments. "Piss for me, slut." Sarah fought an intense internal battle between the shame and humiliation of submitting to S' instruction, and the urge to retain her dignity. Submission, encouraged by her overloaded bladder, won. Squeezing her eyes tightly shut, she sighed in palpable relief as she released herself. Warm urine flowed down her thighs and splashed against her feet as she squatted before her Master in a puddle of her own waste. "I think you should thank me for granting you relief." "Thank you Sir," whispered Sarah, honestly grateful to him for allowing her to pee at last. S wrinkled his nose almost delicately as the sharp smell of urine reached his nose. "You've pleased me. My favourite tie remains unsoiled, and you did well to remain under my control for so many hours in my absence. Clean up your mess, then shower. I'm going back to work, I expect the house to be spotless when I return." Sarah set about her tasks, washing, ironing, cleaning. The afternoon passed quickly and the afternoon sun was fading into dusky twilight when S returned. Sarah greeted him at the door, her face creased in smiles as she danced around him, chattering about her afternoon. In her rush of excitement, she didn't notice he was strangely quiet, distracted. "Take this and go and get changed, Sarah," ordered S at last, pouring them a glass of wine. "You know what I like. I'll be waiting in the lounge." After showering and dressing, Sarah presented herself almost shyly to S, the shame of relieving herself in front of him still fresh in her memory as she stood before him. "Turn for me, slowly," he said coolly as he sipped slowly from his glass of wine, soft music playing on the stereo. Vanilla candles cast flickering shadows on the walls, the scent of incense lingered lightly in the air. Dressed in nothing but her collar, black nylon stockings, a black garter belt, and a lacy black half cup bra that molded her swelling breasts, black patent heels on her feet, Sarah spun slowly before him, eyes lowered in submission. Her cheeks were flushed with the natural glow of humiliation and subservience, her lips lush and red, her hair a soft, golden cloud of loose, blond waves around her shoulders. The lace topped stockings and garter belt framed her hairless pussy in an erotic triangle, her wrinkled lips puffy and moist, black nylon contrasting starkly against her pale skin. "Again," he said as she completed a full circle before him, and she obeyed as his eyes caressed her, seeing everything, missing nothing. "You're beautiful, baby," he said softly, rising to his feet and kissing her as she melted into him, merging with her Master. "We've never danced, you and I," he whispered, his lips warm against her ear as he bent his head and nipped the delicate skin of her neck lightly, sending tingles through her body. "No, Sir, we haven't," she said softly, snaking her arms around him, holding him close, her soft curves against his hard body. "I love you, Sir," murmured Sarah, looking up at him, her eyes limpid pools of devotion. "I know." Sarah shivered as he gazed into her soul with his blue, blue eyes. "You're mine," he said, fingering the collar fastened around her neck. "I love you." They danced then, Master and slave, moving slowly and sinuously to the sounds of Gershwin, their hearts seemingly beating in time with the notes that wafted on the air. The world shrunk, all that existed was this time, this place. Nothing could touch them. "Come," said S at last, leading Sarah to the sofa, her small hand caught in his. Sitting down, he laid her across his lap, her ass high and round. He rubbed his palms over her soft, smooth globes and she wriggled beneath him, instantly wet. He spanked her rhythmically, each spank cracking through the air and Sarah groaned with pleasure, her skin glowing with the heat of his hands. S slipped two fingers into her pussy, still spanking her as he felt her clench around his fingers, sucking him in. Each spank causing her to graze against his thumb, resting lightly on her swollen clit. His fingers still buried deep inside her, S slid his other hand up and down her nylon-encased legs, his skin rasping against the nylon of her stockings. Then, reaching between the cushions of the couch, he pulled out a small silver dagger, its blade glinting wickedly in the glow of the candlelight. "Keep still, baby," he murmured, reaching down and pressing the blade against her skin. Sarah remained motionless and transfixed as he drew the blade up the back of her Achilles tendon, then over her calf, up to the top of her stocking clad thigh, the nylon parting with an almost imperceptible hiss as black gossamer gave way to smooth, white skin. Slipping a third finger into her soaking pussy, S started on Sarah's other leg, this time a little more pressure and Sarah sighed as the blade melted through black nylon and bit into her skin, this time leaving a thin red trail of blood in the knife's wake as once more her stocking gave way to flesh. The sting of the cut mingled with the pleasure of S' fingers in her cunt and his thumb on her clit and Sarah sank deeply into space, down, down, down. The stockings were ruined now, drifting loose from the garter belt and S turned Sarah gently onto her back then moved out from under her, leaving her lying prone on the sofa. Unzipping his pants, he stepped out of them and shrugged his shirt over his head, standing naked and hard before Sarah, who drank him in with desperate eyes. Kneeling before the couch, he slipped his hands under Sarah's ass, positioning her. "Spread your legs for me, baby," he growled, raising her legs so they were thrown over his shoulders, her pussy open and exposed. Penetration, when it came, was long and slow and relentless as he pushed into her wet cunt, spreading her open as she writhed on his cock. Impaled, Sarah moaned as she urged him deeper and deeper, her hips bucking as he fucked her, his fingers playing on her juice soaked clit. S increased his pace, filling her completely, thrusting into her over and over, harder and harder as she gasped for breath. Then, together, they were cumming, pushed over the edge as their senses crashed around them like shattering glass, Sarah's pussy contracting like a vice around S' cock as he flooded her with stream after stream of cum, groaning. Crying helplessly, Sarah screamed his name, screamed her love for him as the waves of passion rocked over them, swallowing them, drowning them. Later that night, Sarah nestled warmly against her Master as they lay in their big bed, insulated in a cocoon of Dominance and submission. "Sarah?" said S, gently shaking her shoulder, then slipped one of his fingers under her collar, tracing her skin lightly beneath the leather. "Mmm?" sighed Sarah, sleepily. "I have news. I have to go away for a while, I leave in a week, we'll talk about it tomorrow, okay?" "'K," Sarah murmured, drifting into sleep. For long moments, S watched her, the moonlight casting a silvery glow on her breasts rising and falling gently as she breathed. Then, wiping a trace of moisture from his cheek in an impatient gesture, he held Sarah close as he, too, sank into oblivion.
This is the final part of "Captured!" I hope you enjoyed reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it. Thanks for your support, and thanks for your feedback. Your comments are always welcome. soleil. Part 10 Sarah wept silently as she gathered her possessions in a little pile on the bed. Big, silent tears that streamed down her face and they just fell and fell. The tears just wouldn't stop. She didn't have much to pack. A few pieces of clothing, bits of makeup, a dog-eared book and the things she'd originally taken to the island. The island. It seemed to Sarah it was a lifetime ago, and in some ways it was. She was different now, almost unrecognizable from the scared, frightened girl who'd been hustled up the beach and into the hut with her companions. So much had happened, Sarah knew she'd never be the same person again. Footsteps, and Sir entered the room. "Hurry up" he said brusquely. "It's a long drive to the airport, and if I miss my plane, there'll be hell to pay." Sarah couldn't speak, couldn't answer him, couldn't look at him. Her pain was so raw, and she didn't want him to see her like this. So she bustled about busily, careful to avoid eye contact with him as she shoved her things into the bag he'd given her. Then, she was finished. Casting a last, lingering look around the room, she zipped the bag and turned to S, pushing her hair off her face. Puffy green eyes collided with icy blue eyes. "I'm finished, Sir," she said quietly. "About time." Then, with a critical look, he said, "Go fix yourself up before we leave. You're a fucking mess." Sarah did as he told her to do - went into the bathroom, fixed her hair, fixed her makeup. But try as she might, she couldn't erase the sadness from her eyes. The same eyes that once sparkled so brightly were now dull and empty. Then, heart heavy, Sarah collected her bag and walked through to the living room. S was standing before the huge windows, arms crossed, body tense, watching the waves as they crashed on the sand far below. He turned as she entered the room. "Kneel there, hands behind your back," he barked, pointing to a spot in front of him. Sarah's heart leaped with hope. Had he changed his mind? Could they stay? Skittering across the room, she did as she was told and kneeled expectantly before him, her hands folded behind her back as she looked up at him with wide eyes. "Head down," he instructed. Sarah obeyed instantly, her curls tumbling about her face as she bowed her head. She shivered as she felt his hands on her, fumbling at her neck. Then, ice flooded her veins as she realised what he was doing. "No, Sir, no!" she cried in distress as his fingers unbuckled the leather collar encircling her neck. "Please, Sir, please don't take my collar away!" "Be quiet," he hissed, slipping it from her. "Don't you say a fucking word!" Sarah sobbed helplessly as he took it from her, her body shuddering as she gulped for air. His action cut into her like a knife, wounding her psyche and her soul. Groping at her neck in a vain attempt to keep it with her, she fancied she could feel the weight of the leather still around her neck, though she knew it was gone. "Look at me," he snapped, standing over her, weighing the collar in his hands. Sarah shook her head, keening like a small, injured wild animal. "Look at me!" He prodded her with his boot. Sarah reluctantly obeyed. His face was stony, his lips pressed so tightly together they were white. His eyes were flat and cold, expressionless as he gazed at her. "I'm releasing you. You're free, I no longer own you. Do you understand me?" He spat the words out like bullets from a gun, each one hitting Sarah fair on target, leaving her bleeding and exposed. "Sir, I don't want to be free, please don't do this!" she wailed, her heart breaking. "Please, please don't do this. I'll do better, I'll behave, I'll do anything. But please, don't release me," she begged, her voice thick with tears. "It's not about being better, or behaving, Sarah. This is the way it is. This is the way it has to be. You are released. That is all." He thrust the collar into his pocket, then picked up his bags. "Get up, we're going." The drive to the airport was strained and tense; neither spoke. Sarah watched the scenery race past, but she didn't see it, not really. She was numb, now. She didn't feel anything. Just dead inside. They arrived with moments to spare, checked in, and hurried through airport security to the departure lounges. Being regional, it wasn't a big airport, and the gates weren't far apart. But Sarah's flight was leaving first, so they went to hers. They made it just as her flight was called. A queue of people snaked around the lounge as they waited to board the plane. Sarah stopped abruptly, loathe to join it. "Get in line," said S grimly as he pushed her towards the waiting passengers. Sarah blindly obeyed, water clouding her vision once more. Unable to stop herself, she felt her bottom lip tremble and the tears came again, endless, desperate tears. "For God's sake!" snapped S, pulling her roughly to one side. "I've explained all this! You know it has to be like this, there's no other way. I can't take you with me, and I'm not coming back. You have to go, you have to go home, and that's the way it is. Do you understand?" Sarah nodded dumbly, tears still pouring down her face. "I know, Sir. I know you have to go. But I... I just...I can't..." She gulped noisily, unable to continue. "What?" asked S, his voice softening. "I just won't be able to breathe without you, Sir," she whispered, her face a mask of pain and grief. "Well, you'll have to learn. You're strong, Sarah, stronger than you know, and you'll have to learn. Okay?" Sarah nodded, unable to look at him. S pulled Sarah into his arms, catching her off guard. Dropping her bag, she melted into his embrace, shuddering as his arms encircled her, gathering her to him. "Breathe for me, baby," he whispered, his lips against her hair. The line of waiting people shrunk slowly as everyone trailed through the door, on to the air bridge and into the plane. Then, Sarah was the last passenger remaining in the lounge. The flight attendant looked over to them quizzically, an eyebrow raised. S acknowledged her silent question with a curt nod, and let go of Sarah. "Time to leave," he said, a note of finality in his voice. Sarah nodded, almost blinded by her tears. "We can't be together, can we?" she whimpered, in a desperate, last ditch attempt to hear the answer she so badly wanted to hear. "No," replied S, woodenly. "Will I see you again?" "Probably not. But you know that, I've made it perfectly clear, I think. So let's not drag this out," he said through gritted teeth. "Do you still love me?" cried Sarah, her chest heaving as she valiantly tried to choke back her grief. "For fuck's sake, just go, will you?" snarled Sir, as the flight attendant beckoned impatiently in their direction. He pushed her towards the door. "Just go," he repeated, more gently this time. "That's an order!" Obeying him without question for the final time, Sarah smoothed her hair, then plucked a tissue from her sleeve and blew her nose. Picking up her bag, she gave herself a mental shake as she pushed her shoulders back, then looked proudly at S. "I may be leaving, but I'll never say goodbye, I won't say it. And we may not be together, but I have your tattoo etched on my body, and I have you engraved in my soul. You'll always be with me, no matter how far apart we are. I'll always love you, endlessly, deeply, and desperately. I'll never give up hoping you'll come for me. That's just the way it is." S nodded grimly in response, a muscle spasming in his clenched jaw. He watched Sarah walk away and present her boarding pass to the attendant. As she went through the door, she paused and looked at him one last time, their eyes locking as silent, intangible energy flowed between them. He stood motionless as she turned and disappeared down the corridor, into the steel belly of the waiting aircraft. His shoulders slumped as she vanished, and he reached into his pocket and fingered the soft leather of her collar. "Yes, Sarah," he whispered. "Yes, I still love you." Then, his face set in stone, he turned and walked away from them as the plane engines screamed, carrying Sarah away, into the blue. ________________________________________ Sarah looked at the newspaper spread out before her on her lap. It was the same newspaper she'd read every morning for years, no matter where she was in the world. Carefully, she read the newsprint again, tracing her finger across the paper and mouthing the words as she went. It was over. As the flicker of hope which burned within her soul finally sputtered and died, the newspaper slid to the floor with a gentle rustle and Sarah leaned back in her chair and closed her eyes in silent acceptance. She understood now that he would never come for her, that she would never see him again. After all these years, it was finally over. Sarah stayed motionless for long minutes as memories crashed and collided with long buried pain and hurt deep within her. Behind closed eyes, she could see him in her mind's eye as if they'd been together just yesterday, his face smiling at her with those glorious blue eyes and deep, deep dimples. Then, footsteps shook her from her reverie, and she opened her eyes as Steven came towards her, bringing her a cup of tea. "You alright?" Sarah looked at him fondly. He was so intuitive. He gave her the tea, and Sarah circled her hands around the cup, drawing warmth from the hot china. She smiled then, a trace of a smile, as she looked up into the blue, blue eyes of her only child. "I'm fine, darling. But I have to go away for a few days; I'm leaving this afternoon. I need to get away for a while, just me, and I won't be long. I should be back by Friday. Can you take care of things while I'm away?" "Sure," replied Stephen. He was staying with her while his own house was being built; it saved him paying rent and besides, his mother lived close to the city, close to where he worked. Sarah eyed him over the rim of her cup. He was so very like his father, she thought. Same eyes, same height, same body type. Same confidence and self-assurance. Intelligent and strong. Though it had been a shock when she discovered she was pregnant, their son been a great source of love and joy for her over the years. Along with trouble, she thought ruefully. He'd certainly added a few gray hairs to her head. "Will you tell me where you're going? Take your phone, at least?" "No, and yes," said Sarah shortly, then smiled at him. "I'm okay, I just have to take care of a few things." Sarah spoke with a note of finality and Steven knew better than to question her. Although she loved him ferociously and had done her best to bring him up on her own, some topics were off limits. He had a feeling this trip of hers was one of them. Still, he silently wondered what had prompted this latest need for solitude. His mother was unreachable when she was like this. Packing quickly, Sarah folded clothes and toiletries into her suitcase. Hurriedly, she rummaged through her drawers and shoved a few items in her carry-on bag, then gathered her things together and left the house in a bustle of stoic determination and purpose. Sarah's flight landed and she picked up her car from the airport hire counter. Driving towards her hotel, Sarah wondered if she was doing the right thing, going to him this one last time. But her memories urged her on, and she knew she finally had to say goodbye. It had been many, many years since she'd seen him, though he had lived within her regardless and she had never forgotten him or given up hope that one day, he would find her again. Later that night, Sarah sat on the balcony of her hotel room and looked out over the water lapping gently on the shore below her. But she didn't see the ocean, nor did she smell the sea spray. Instead, she was back in another place, beside another ocean; the very ocean where they'd first collided all those years ago. Jerking herself back to reality, Sarah walked inside and went to bed. When the last of the mourners departed, Sarah crept silently though the cemetery to his grave. Kneeling beside the freshly turned ground, she gazed down at the cedar coffin littered with the sods of earth and colorful flowers his family and friends had thrown. Tears splashed down her face then, and she made no attempt to check them. "This is yours, I think," said a soft voice. Startled, Sarah turned and looked up at the woman standing behind her. The woman smiled with a brittle expression, and held out a small bag. She was older than Sarah, still attractive, though her face was lined and her hair, gray. Sarah looked at the bag the woman offered, absently noticing the gold band gleaming dully on her finger. Sarah stood clumsily, smoothing her skirt. "Who are you? What is it?" she asked, puzzled. "It doesn't matter who I am. But he knew you'd come. Anyway, he wanted you to have this. I found it among his personal things, with a note saying to give it to you when you did. I don't know what it means, but it was obviously important to him that you get it. So, here it is," she said, simply. The woman thrust the bag into Sarah's grasp, and Sarah took it. The two women looked at each other closely for silent moments. "Was he... was it quick?" asked Sarah, brokenly. "Yes. Heart attack. Doing what he loved. No pain," she replied briefly, though Sarah felt the women's own pain, for it mirrored hers. "Well, I'll leave you to it," the woman said finally, and turned abruptly, her black dress swirling around her ankles like a cloud as she disappeared through the trees. Sarah watched her go, then looked at the bag in her hands. She opened it slowly, tears flooding her eyes as she saw what it contained. "My collar," she whispered, turning the old cracked leather over in her hands. "It's my collar, he kept it all these years." She rubbed the worn leather, caressing it, as memories flooded through her. She loved him just as much now as she did then, and she knew that somehow, he knew it too. The knowledge comforted her, eased her heartache. Pressing her lips to the leather one last time, she turned and tossed it into the void. Then, reaching into her pocket, she pulled out a photograph of she and Steven smiling into the sun, their hair blown in the wind, happy grins on their faces. Releasing it, she watched as it fell from her fingertips, floating gently down on the breeze. "Goodbye, my Master," she whispered as their photograph joined her collar on the polished wood far below. Sarah turned and walked away. ________________________________________________________________________ Beloved Sir ~ Natalie Merchant (with apologies) You were the love for certain of my life You were simply my beloved Sir i don't know for certain how i'll live my life now alone without my beloved Sir my beloved Sir i can't believe i've lost the very best of me You were the love for certain of my life you were simply my beloved Sir i don't know for certain how i'll live my life now alone without my beloved Sir my beloved Sir i can't believe i've lost the very best of me You were the love for certain of my life for so many years simply my beloved Sir With another love i'll never lay again it's You i can't deny it's You i can't defy a depth so deep into my grief without my beloved soul i renounce my life as my right now alone without my beloved Sir my beloved Sir my beloved Sir my love is gone I'll suffer long in hours of pain my love is gone now my suffering begins my love is gone would it be wrong if I should surrender all the joy in my life go with Him tonight? my love is gone I'll suffer long in hours of pain my love is gone would it be wrong if i should just turn my face away from the light go with Him tonight?
