Her Master walked swiftly over to where z dangled by her ankles, the rope through the ceiling ring holding her ass up off the mattress, although her head and shoulders rested upon it. Without another word, he pulled his leather belt free from the loops around his waist as z's pupils dilated and Molly cringed. His belt whistled and snapped, that sound blending with a shriek from z as a red welt formed on her ass cheek.
Her muscles must've contracted, because a further blob of Master Sven's semen oozed out of z's cunt. Perhaps because of seeing that, her Master gave her two more hits with his belt, raising a pair of welts. Untying her, he dragged her by her hair to a corner behind Molly's chair. Craning her neck, Molly was able to watch as z was unceremoniously stuffed into a tiny metal cage down on the floor, and locked in.
As he approached Molly, bound in that chair, she stammered out, "Ummm... my... my safeword is 'red' I think you should know."
He actually laughed for the first time since he'd arrived home. He chucked Molly under her chin, and gave her nipples some interesting tweaks. "I'm not going to do anything to you, Molly. Except maybe this." His hand went between her thighs to diddle her clit softly. "As a man, I have a difficult time not taking advantage of a bound, nude woman, you know." He seemed gratified by the sounds Molly was making deep in her throat as he caressed her. "But I assume you've been tied up long enough."
As he untied her, Molly was torn between feelings of relief, and feelings of disappointment. "What will happen to z?" she asked, as she stood up and stretched. She began dressing, and blushed a delicate pink when she felt Master Sven's card in the front pocket of her jeans. She pushed her still damp panties into her rear pocket.
He took her hand and led her back upstairs, leaving z in her cage. "That slut will stay in that cage all night as I set things up for her punishment." His eyes flashed in anger.
Molly asked, timidly, "Why are you mad? I thought you encouraged her to do self bondage during the time between her arrival at home, and your own."
"Exactly," he rebutted. "Self bondage. Not hiring some other Master to do things to her. Look what he sent me!" He held up his cell phone, and scrolled through images of Master Sven using z - doing things to her. Molly hadn't even noticed him making images of his activities with the slave girl. Actually, to be honest, part of the time Molly was busy looking at z's tits, cunt and ass, and part of the time she was looking at Master Sven's cock. The rest of the time, she probably had her eyes rolled back in their sockets as he pleasured her.
"Pardon me for asking a stupid question... but is that wrong of her?"
"Wrong? Wrong! Of course it's wrong. The fact that z did that indicates that I'm failing as a Master. That I'm not giving her enough punishment and humiliation to satisfy her. That she needs to drag in some other Master - and pay him - to get what she needs. Well, she'll soon get all the pain and humiliation that she craves. Just wait until tomorrow." He cleared his throat. "Molly, I know you personally don't like or seek pain, but you expressed an interest in trying to understand z and her needs. Do you want to come along as an observer tomorrow?"
"Gee, I don't know," she dithered."I'm curious of course, but still..."
"How about if I sweeten the pot for you?" he bargained. "If you come along, I promise to try to furnish you with at least two orgasms as we watch."
Molly's eyes threatened to cross as she recalled how her body had reacted to Master Sven's touch. Two orgasms? Maybe as intense as today's? "Ummm... would I be... I mean... could I be... tied up as you do it?" she squeaked.
He laughed even more wholeheartedly. "Certainly. If that is what you wish." They made arrangements for Molly to meet with them in the morning.
The next day, when Molly knocked on the door, it was answered by a woman who was definitely not z. The woman certainly looked like Molly's idea of a Mistress. She was dressed in tight black leather pants, knee high boots and a black leather corset. Molly was wondering if she might be the person z had called The Cleaning Lady, when the woman said, "Hello. You must be Molly. I was told to expect you. My name is anne." They shook hands.
"Oh, are you the friend z told me about?" Molly asked. "Would I be spelling your name with a lowercase 'a' when it's in print, anne?"
The black clad woman laughed, which made the upper part of her generous tits dance along the top of the corset. "I see z explained about me. Yes, it's spelled with a lowercase letter, except when I'm in the role of Mistress Anne."
"But I got the impression you're a submissive, like z is," Molly stated, letting confusion color her tone of voice.
"With my Master, I'm certainly a submissive, Molly. But if he orders me to dominate someone like z, then I obey. I guess I'm more flexible in these matters, sort of like a switch, if you know what I mean."
"Yes, I do. Come to think of it, z mentioned that if you had to come here to bail her out of some self bondage predicament, you might take the opportunity to play with her first."
"Precisely," anne replied. "When z's helpless, I sometimes switch modes and Domme her a little. It's fun, once in a while." She reached out and touched Molly's chin, and gently turned her face from side to side. "Who knows? Maybe sometime I'll get a chance to Domme you a little, too." She grinned.
Molly was astonished to feel her pussy reacting to the woman's overtures. Certain aspects of this lifestyle were plucking cords in Molly's psyche that she'd not known existed. She blushed and actually lowered her gaze submissively, which made anne giggle with delight. "Give me your phone number, Molly," she commanded.
Molly opened her notepad, scribbled her number down quickly, lest she lose her courage, and gave it to Mistress Anne, who tucked it into her corset, giving Molly a flash of her nipple in the process. Molly stood slack-jawed for a moment, then swallowed hard. "Ummm... where is z, by the way?" she asked.
"I told the slut to go upstairs and bathe, put on a light, almost transparent summer dress, meet me back down here, and not to dawdle. She smelled pretty rank after being in that cage in the basement all night."
Molly was about to ask where z's Master was when he stepped into the room. He was carrying shackles and a leather hood, and Molly was praying he wasn't planning to use them on her. At least she thought she didn't want that to happen. "Hi, Molly. Welcome," he said to her. "Here anne, these should work."
Footsteps on the stairs signaled z's descent. Before she could speak, anne slipped the hood over z's head and secured it. She then shackled z's arms and legs, and led the slave toward the door. She had to guide z, because the hood only had a nose hole for breathing. "See you both soon," anne said. "I'll keep this slut in the back of the van until you arrive."
After they departed, z's Master said, "Let me explain what's happening. After you left last night, I called anne's Master and asked to borrow her in her Mistress mode to take z to the place where she'll be punished. They're going to an old farm owned by my friend, Master William. I must warn you, Molly, that he's very much a sadist and is feared by submissives for his harsh and brutal treatments. He's not interested in sexual humiliation, just sadistic humiliation. Since z's been to William's place before, she'd have resisted fiercely if she realized where she was being taken, hence the hood."
"Would she have used her safeword?" Molly asked.
"No. I doubt it. She's loathe to admit it to herself, but z craves exactly such harsh punishment at the hands of another from time to time. If she does safeword, everything will stop immediately. But I'll be surprised if she does." He went on to describe the place to Molly. "Behind his barn is a heavily wooded area, with a main path. That path has several branches that lead to his specially designed 'punishment stations' which dot the landscape."
Molly was trying to imagine an entire locale devoted to sadistic punishments when z's Master asked, "Having second thoughts? Still want to go?"
In truth, Molly was indeed having second thoughts, but her damnable curiosity rose up and demanded that she learn more about this. "After all, if things get bad, I can close my eyes and plug my ears until its over," she thought. Aloud, she answered, "No, I still want to go and observe. I'm still trying to understand z's psyche." Actually, she was also trying to understand her own psyche - why she was attracted to the offers of Master Sven and... well... she guessed she should think about referring to her as Mistress Anne.
"Do you have a voice recorder with you, Molly?"
With a quizzical look, Molly replied, "Yes, I do. Why?"
