Chapter Thirteen
Zoe slept like the proverbial log that night and it was all she could do to drag her weary body out of bed in the morning. Her pussy lips and clit felt incredibly sore and when she touched them during her shower, she found that both seemed swollen and very sensitive. It was all she could do not to climax but she was glad that she resisted as Lydia asked her if she had when Zoe reported to her, kneeling obediently at her mistress' feet.
"Those pellucid eyes cannot lie, can they?" mused Lydia stroking Zoe's hair tenderly before kissing her once on the lips. After making Zoe drink from her pussy as usual, Lydia told her to pull up her skirt and remove her panties completely.
"You won't be wearing those today," she stated with a little smile flickering across her lips, taking the scrap of lace out of Zoe's hand and tossing it dismissively onto the kitchen worktop. Zoe watched as Lydia took two golden ornaments out of her jacket pocket and shook them gently. A tiny, bell-like sound echoed through the room and Zoe's heart jumped in fear and fascination as she realised what they were.
The walk out to the car afterwards was both embarrassing and agonising. The twin clamps, jaws fastened onto her swollen pussy lips, tinkled with every step as well as pulling at her sensitive flesh. Only by almost squeezing her thighs together could Zoe stop the telltale sound and that made her clit ache with desire. Sitting down on the seat was better although the clamps still bit into her flesh and the leather stuck to her bottom cheeks. Could she survive a whole day at work wearing them? At least, she would be sitting down designing jewellery for the first half of the day, she thought with some relief before she groaned as the car went over a speed bump much too fast.
Unfortunately for Zoe, Lydia tormented her for most of the morning by sending her on messages or tasks especially designed to get her walking around the shop. Every time, Zoe had to remember to squeeze her legs tightly together in order to prevent the tiny bells dangling from her pussy the chance to sound. Every stride made her pussy hurt as the clamps bit into her soft, delicate flesh and also aroused her greatly and, by the time lunchtime arrived, Zoe felt as if she was going to burst with longing and desire. It was all she could do not to come as she sat on her chair trying to design a new necklace and her face went bright red with embarrassment when Lydia called her into her office as the seat beneath her bare bottom was wet with droplets of love juice mixed with sweat where her buttocks had stuck to the leather. A hasty wipe with her tissue ensued before she obediently, taking her designs, went in to see Lydia, shut the door behind her then knelt to swallow her golden offering.
It was only when Zoe got back from lunch, one spent sitting on the nearest bench to avoid too much walking, that she noticed that her designs had been returned. Attached was a note from Lydia saying that she liked the last one a lot so Zoe opened up her book and flicked through until she came to it. Her very last design of the necklace had the word 'owned' inscribed lightly into the solid gold choker. She had also doodled a padlock with the hasp sliding through two gold loops to lock it into place. Her face flamed while her blood ran cold. Had she really done that without thinking? She quickly shut the book, tucked it away in her drawer and then went out into the shop to serve customers during the afternoon, remembering at the last moment about the infernal bell that threatened to tinkle with every sway of her hips.
"It is my birthday next Thursday," announced Lydia that evening as she cuffed Zoe's ankles tightly then looped a chain through the cuffs and a pulley. Making Zoe lie down on the floor, she slowly wound a handle round that cranked the chain through the pulley and her slave found that her legs were lifted up and soon she was dangling upside down in mid-air, blood rushing to her head. "What present are you going to give me, my dear slave?"
"Anything you wish, mistress. Well, anything that I can afford!" replied Zoe, quickly qualifying the original enthusiastic statement.
"I do believe that a collar would be a lovely present," Lydia mused, cuffing her slave's hands together behind her back. "A gold one just like the one you drew the other day. My present but you get to wear it...when I wish you to! Shall I make you one?"
"If you wish to, mistress," answered Zoe, shivering with fear at the thought yet oddly intrigued too. Would she have to wear it at work? In the street perhaps? What would other people think?
