Authors Note: These chapters will make almost no sense if not read in order. If you haven't, I strongly suggest you go back to the introduction and chapter 1.
Warning, the story is getting even more sadistic. Enjoy.
--------------------------------------
"Time to go to work!" Fred declared as he grabbed Clair's arm and helped her stand. He opened and handed her a bottle of water from the refrigerator then stepped into Gran's bedroom to grab a couple of rolls of Vet Wrap and the burlap dress.
"To the barn," He said as he pointed to the door. The Chinese had it all wrong, why would any man want a woman walking behind him where he could watch a delicious bottom like Clair's.
Inside the barn was a heavy logging chain that George had used to chain Lou when he made her work in here. Lou had never removed it, so it was just looped over one of the stall walls. Fred found the key for the lock and unlocked the padlock attached to the end. He gently pushed Clair against the wall and told her to put the water bottle she had brought from the kitchen on top of the stall wall. He then indicated that she should lift her leg. Fred then wrapped several layers of Vet Wrap around her ankle, then wrapped the chain over the Vet Wrap and locked it.
Clair thought, "Fred, it's not like I'm going anywhere even if I wanted to." But Clair also knew it wasn't really about keeping her in the barn, it was about how KNOWING that she couldn't leave the barn, that she was completely under Fred's control. The thought made her wet. Fred then unlocked the handcuffs and put them in his back pocket. He handed her the burlap dress and she put it on. It was at least two sizes too large for her, so it hung on her, showing lots of cleavage and side boob. It was very short, barely covering her ass and smelled of barn dust and sweat.
"This dress is SO cool," thought Clair.
"I'm going to take a shower and have the rest of my breakfast." Fred explained, "You are going to shovel out Henry's stall, sweep it, put in a good layer of fresh hay, and fill his feed bag. The chain should be long enough to let you reach everything you need. I also want you to drink all the water in that water bottle before I get back. You had best be finished before I return. If you finish before I get back you can spend the time brushing Henry, I bet he's used to having nude women as grooms, lucky stud."
"To help you keep focused on working I'll let you keep this for me," and Fred removed his belt, wrapped it around Clair's waist and buckled it as small as it would go. It was way too large and just barely stayed on top of Clair's hips. "Let's hope I don't need to use it when I get back and inspect. And don't get my belt dirty!" Fred said as he walked away.
Halfway to the barn door Fred stopped, hesitated, then went to a small table on the side of the barn. He picked up a pair of work gloves and returned to Clair.
"Here, put these on, your hands are too soft and lovely to get blisters!" He said kindly.
"Damn," thought Clair, "this man is a real conundrum, a maddening mixture of sadist, kind boyfriend and sexual god." Clair giggled at that last thought as she went to get the pitchfork, shovel, and push broom. She had to keep stopping to pull the belt back up on her hips or it would fall to the floor and that accomplished exactly what Fred had hoped; it kept reminding Clair of a belt's other use.
Fred went back to the house, took a shower, dressed, putting a shirt on this time, then fixed a hearty breakfast. It was almost 11am and he was famished. Even though it was well past breakfast, some toast, eggs, and sausage sounded good to him. Gran always had a well-stocked Refrigerator and Leon's home-made sausage was outstanding. After eating, he didn't bother with the dishes, he could make Clair do those later, he wandered around gathering things he needed for the rest of the day.
He gathered 50 spf suntan oil, Deep Woods Off, four neatly rolled skanks of cotton 1/4 inch rope, several roll of Vet Wrap, a few more water bottles and finally, a plastic one cup measuring cup from Gran's cupboard. Fred put all this stuff in a plastic grocery bag that Gran kept for recycling. He hoped Gran would understand his borrowing all this stuff. He made sure the cuffs were still in his back pocket and the keys in his front pocket. He picked up the single tail whip and stuck the handle in his waistband in the back. On the way out the door he noticed Gran's candy jar. Gran was very good at sticking to a strict diet, but she did reward herself occasionally with a hard lemon candy. Fred stuck several in his pocket.
Clair had hustled through her assigned chores. She didn't do it because the belt around her waist motivated her, quite the opposite, she kinda hopped Fred would use it on her ass again! No, she hustled because she wanted to please Fred. She wanted to hear him say "good Girl" and know he was happy with her.
She found the chain was very heavy, so when she moved from place to place It helped if she reached down and pulled the chain with one hand while carrying her tools with the other. But there were times when she needed both hands, like when she was carrying a heavy load of hay on the pitchfork. She was also starting to agree with Gran's assessment of the burlap dress; damn those jute fibers were tough on the skin, especially the nipples. Clair remembered something from her world history class. In the middle ages they called them "Hair Shirts" and they were used as a form of torture.
