Even though I had very thoroughly showered less than two hours before I sensed now was not a particularly good time to question her direct order. The warm water felt good yet I made haste to finish as quickly as I could.
I was nice and wet when I opened the shower door and a bit confused to see a lone washcloth on the towel rack. I knew better than to yell out or otherwise inquire about a towel, so I dried off as best as I could using the small wash cloth. I couldn't get completely dry but I was able to abate the flow of water dripping onto the floor. Surely that would be some sort of violation.
I crossed the hall to the bedroom, the air chilling my damp, naked body during the brief traverse. All I saw in the way of clothing were some very short dolphin-style fitness shorts on the bed. The shorts could have been no more than six inches in length. There was nothing in the way of a top. The shorts were a pale fuchsia made of a breathable and alarmingly thin fabric; the type of synthetic fabric peppered with tiny round indentations.
I was frustrated that the shorts were extremely low rise and there was nothing I could do to pull them higher than riding low on my hips. They were probably women's shorts and I'm sure the low rise was part of the grand plan. The coolness of the fabric made me acutely aware that I was wearing such an unflattering garment. I had been worried that I'd have to wear a thong during training but the thought of wearing these supposedly less revealing shorts was of little consolation when I saw myself in the bedroom mirror.
Knowing there was nothing I could do about my attire at this point I put on my shoes and socks and walked tenuously toward the living room. My heart was pounding while I anticipated receiving a humiliating visual examination there.
The three very fit women were standing in the kitchen, near the door to the garage. The blonde was holding the duffel containing my extra shoes and socks. "This way," she directed, opening the door to the garage as she spoke. "Get in the back seat on the passenger's side." It was obvious she was referring to the shiny, black Jeep Wrangler.
I felt self-conscious climbing into the back seat while no amount of sucking in my gut could hide the rolls of fat I displayed while writhing into the elevated rear seat. I could see my thighs splayed and barely covered by the tiny shorts. The lack of tone in my thigh muscles was so obvious I must have looked pathetic. The other brunette gracefully climbed in and sat to my left, while the blonde climbed into the driver's seat and the brunette who greeted me at the door sat in the high back seat directly in front of me. Without needing to be told to do so I put on my shoulder belt and discovered it felt tighter than most. It didn't have the usual retraction gear so I was held quite securely in place.
I started to adjust the lap belt because it felt so tight on my hips. "Leave that alone, " said the blonde who had been watching me from the front seat. I complied instantly. The brunette next to me handed me a pair of ski sunglasses, the kind with the hoops that go behind your ears. "Put these on then move your hands to your sides and keep them there. Sit on your hands."
Whoa. I wasn't prepared for this. The "sunglasses" were covered on the inside with opaque black paper! The tight fit and curved frames obscured my peripheral view. I wasn't going to be seeing where we were going, that's for sure. We backed out of the garage and as I heard the door close behind us I realized my money, ID, Tag Heuer watch, iPhone, everything, remained behind. I was going to have to earn them back.
Jeeps ride rough, I soon learned. I could feel my 36" belly bouncing with each bump and wondered if one, or all, of my trainers was watching me. My question was soon answered when I felt a hand on my abdomen. It stayed there while we went through a particularly rough patch and when the hand was removed one of the women commented, "you won't be bouncing around like that next time you go for a ride in this Jeep." They all laughed at the comment.
The Jeep was open on the top and sides, so lacking the protection of a shirt I could feel the cool morning breeze across my body. I grew anxious each time we stopped at a traffic light or stop sign. I wondered if people could see me, nearly nude, on public display in the back seat of the Jeep.
After what seemed like a 45 minute drive the blonde brought the Jeep to a crawl. We traveled slowly over a rough surface blemished by occasional deep ruts which caused the occasional violent jerk to the Jeep. I felt my flab shake. When we came to a complete stop I heard a seatbelt being released and someone exiting the vehicle. The next sound was of chain being pulled, as if being freed to open a gate.
The Jeep lurched forward for a few seconds before stopping abruptly. Shortly thereafter I could hear the sound of chains again, this time emitting from somewhere behind us. We moved forward for another minute or two along a road which was obviously not maintained. I was swaying and bouncing while feeling very self-conscious with each bump. I feared my chest and belly might have been swaying in opposing directions from time to time. At last we stopped and the engine went silent.
Wherever we were it was a quiet place. I could hear no traffic sounds, no barking dogs, no leaves rustling. Silence. A very slight breeze helped me catch the scent of evergreen and in my state of enhanced perception that very slight breeze chilled my body. My shaking body.
I felt hands remove the sunglasses that blinded me. The overcast sky startled my eyes, making me squint as I struggled to undo the seatbelt. We were parked facing a tall chain-link fence which surrounded and protected this grassy parking knoll.
We were surrounded on all four sides by dense foliage, a mix of tall evergreens and other plants of varying height growing perfectly in harmony to provide a private shield of privacy. I shifted my focus to climbing out of the back seat and didn't notice the electric cart behind the Jeep until I emerged somewhat convoluted onto the grass surface of the parking knoll.
Standing next to the cart was a very thin and perfectly toned young woman having nearly black hair and legs up to her armpits. I was actually grateful to be wearing the tiny fuchsia shorts because they at least covered my growing erection, an involuntary reaction to the woman's incredible beauty and physical fitness. I felt humbly out of shape in her presence, as if spotlights highlighted any excess fat on my body.
The electric cart was open on the sides with a green vinyl surrey-top covering two bench seats: one facing forward and one rear-facing seat. I could feel the eyes of four very attractive and very fit women inspecting me as if eager to make me become as fit as they were.
The blonde trainer pointed her index finger at my pale fuchsia dolphin shorts and said, simply, "off," making a downward motion with her finger. I was so stunned I froze for second. Shocked, I complied, dropping the shorts, pulling them off over my sneakers. Even though I knew better I sort of cupped by hands in front in an attempt at modesty. Out of nowhere I felt a serious sting on my backside. Involuntarily I erupted a loud, "owww!, and almost fell over onto my face.
There were no comments but I knew better than to try to hide my genitalia again. I felt all eyes aimed on my very erect penis. No one said a word, making the situation all the more uncomfortable. Finally, the blonde opened a locked compartment in the back of the Jeep, placed the shorts into the box and then secured the lock with a circular security key. The four women climbed into the electric cart. The blonde and the brunette who opened the door were facing rearward. Facing me. "Follow us and keep up," the blonde barked.
They rode, I walked. As we left the grassy parking area I noticed several other parked cars in the lot. My heart raced while my mind went into overdrive, wondering how many other women were involved in this project. How many would be watching me as I followed, stripped of all clothing, behind the electric cart. We passed through another gate which was already open, pausing while the thin blonde secured it closed by attaching one of the largest padlocks I had ever seen to the galvanized links of a heavy chain.
We were in a fairly densely wooded area so I could not see how far the tall chain link fence spanned. On top of the fence a three-foot protrusion protected by strings of barbed wire. Somebody wanted some privacy. Either that or someone didn't want visitors to leave without permission.
I had to maintain a steady jog to keep up with the cart and was subject to occasional laughter and pointing and comments about bouncing flub and flab. "Just following the bouncing gut," elicited much laughter. As did a fairly loud comment that watching my small penis bounce all around was just hilarious. The blonde pulled out a small video camera and started taping. There was absolutely nothing I could do but jog along behind. In humiliation.
It must have been at least a mile until we emerged from the woods, entering a clearing covering dozens of acres. I could see a large, white farmhouse. On the far end of the house there was an inactive corral. About thirty feet to the right of the house stood a beige color corrugated steel building. It was about 40 feet wide and 50 feet long, almost but not quite a square. I could see HVAC equipment on top. This was one serious commercial building, certainly out of place is this secret rural compound.
