'chapter 1; Lasciate Ogni Speranza.'
Daisy woke up in darkness. Sitting up from the concrete floor, she tried to pick herself up before tumbling down, her wrists handcuffed together.
She paused, waiting for her head to clear- how did she get here? The last Daisy remembered was her assistant manager sheepishly admitting a system crash had erased a client list. Daisy left work an hour late, furious knowing she'd have to come in an hour early tomorrow. She didn't remember reaching her car; funny, Daisy thought, what a huge, life-or-death issue that client list was, and now, suddenly, she couldn't care less about the client list or the company.
In a twisted way, it was nice.
There was a click- the room was barely six feet square, with brick walls. She was wearing the blouse and skirt she had left work in, but she didn't think of that- she thought of the tall, broad-shouldered man with one hand on a lightswitch and the other holding a cardboard box. He wore construction boots, jeans, and a black leather jacket, his hands and face hidden by black gloves and a hood.
Daisy screamed, scurrying into a corner. The box hit the floor as the man lunged forward, grabbing the chain between the handcuffs, easily hoisting Daisy to her feet. With one bear-like grip, he ripped her blouse away. She twisted, kicking at his crotch. He shoved her to the wall, firmly grabbing her face under the jaw.
"You're safe here," he said in a raspy, indistinct voice, "but if you cooperate, it will be better for you. Trust me." Paralyzed with anxiety, Daisy hung from the cuffs pinned against the wall overhead as the man ripped off her skirt, then bra, then plain cotton panties.
The man stepped back, letting Daisy stand on her own. He crossed his arms, staring at her. She looked at the ground, blushing so hard she felt every inch of skin radiate.
"Take off your shoes," the man stated nonchalantly.
Daisy glared at him in disbelieving defiance. He didn't move. "Are you going to cooperate," he said, his voice growing sterner, "Or do you want to find out how I treat toys that won't play along?"
Too scared to swear, she half-bent over, half-raised her legs up, trying not to look sexy.
"Good," the man hissed as she dropped the other shoe, "Now, turn around."
Biting her lip, hiding as much of herself as she could behind her arms, she slowly rotated around her heel, her skin blotchy and freckled under the cheap bulb, though it was smooth and healthy, stretched over a muscular, curvy frame. When she turned back around, the man was holding the cardboard box, prying it open and tossing it at her feet.
"Put these on."
Daisy looked into the box, and her heart stopped. Oh, no way, she thought, no way in hell am I dressing up like this, this is crazy.
The man noticed her hesitation less than a moment into it. "If you want me to be nice, you'll put it on."
Gritting her teeth, she reached into the box. Being handcuffed added a challenge, but it was slow, not impossible. Everything was covered in absurdly elaborate, delicate lace, woven into intricate patterns of glaring white silk. Thigh-high stockings, arm-length mesh gloves, a firm-fitting corset that must have been tailored to her body, and a lacy garter belt that rode low across her hips, straps dangling down the front and back, latching to the stockings, a pair of slippers, and nothing else- a ridiculous get-up, really, somehow more revealing than just complete nudity.
She gasped as the man stepped toward her, flicking his wrist over her shoulder- a collar wrapped neatly around her neck, and he fitted and latched it with one hand in a single motion. He leaned down, trailing down the chain leash attached to the collar, running it under Daisy's handcuffs so the chain ran taut between her round, whimpering breasts.
"Pick a safeword," he said, stepping over to the door.
"Huh?"
"A safeword," he repeated, opening the door into darkness, "It's the one choice, the one control you get. If you do well, you get more." He turned to her- through the hood, she could tell he was grinning widely. "Are you ready?"
'Chapter 2; Down the Rabbit Hole'
Daisy cocked her head to the side, confused. The man repeated, patiently, "What's your safeword?"
She stammered, blushing, trying to cross her arms over her breasts and her lace-trimmed legs, "uh, ah- MertCo Limited," she said, naming the chief client her company had pressured her so much over.
This time, the man cocked his head to the side. "Can you remember that?"
"Yes," she replied curtly, pretending not to be embarrassed by the silly choice.
"Well," he said, coming out into the pitch blackness outside the room, "Let's go. You have a long night." He tugged the leash, and she stumbled through the door.
He shut the door behind him, leaving them both in perfect darkness. The leash went slack, hanging down her cleavage and swinging gently against her thighs. She heard heavy footsteps moving away from her, and ahead of her, she heard his voice say, "follow me."
She only hesitated a moment. Gulping, she edged her toe forward, cautiously sweeping it against the smooth concrete floor. The next step came easier, and the one after that even easier as she started to trust she wouldn't get led into a wall. The comfortable, flat slippers made it easy to reach where the man was waiting, when she heard him walk off again. "This way," he said through the darkness. This repeated several times, until they were both lost somewhere deep in the darkness.
She had gotten accustomed to walking over to his voice when he surprised her by grabbing her, cupping his wide, strong hand under her jaw. Leaning in close to her, he whispered, "Tell me your two favorite names."
"Wh- what?"
"Your favorite names. If you had two pet kittens, what would you name them?"
"I..." Daisy stammered, unsure what to make of the request, "I don't... Fluffy, and, uh... Tinkerbell."
The man put one of his hands to her breast and gently sqeezed it. She heard a gentle 'pop,' and her spine tingled as she felt something strange and soft and wet and oddly abrasive dragging across the skin over her nipple. She quickly recognized the strong, synthetic aroma reaching her nostrils as the ink from a marker. The man moved to her other breast, and she paid attention to the marks he was making on her skin- 'T... I... N...' Oh God, she thought to herself, a warm bloom of blush inflaming her cheeks in the darkness, he made me name my own breasts.
Completing the label, the man released her breast and circled around her in the darkness. "You work in sales, right?"
Daisy hesitated, unsure how to answer. "I- that's right."
"What's some of your work? Tell me the last good slogan you came up with."
Daisy's heart was already racing, but thinking about work made her stomach turn. Her knees buckled, but she tried to keep a steady voice. "Let's see... we were hired by this catering company... 'our pleasure is to serve you'."
She heard the movement of him kneeling down behind her. He wrapped his fingers around her thigh right under the buttock, gripping it tightly and pushing up the cheek. Daisy made to twist around, but the stranger said in a calm yet fierce voice, "Are you gonna be a good doll?" Clenching her fists, she grimaced and held still as the marker scratched against her butt. Following the pattern of the felt tip, she realized he was writing 'OUR PLEASURE' on her left cheek. Hidden in the darkness, her face was open-mouthed and incredulous as she thought, what? oh, come on, really?
Finishing his inscription, the man stood up and circled around her again. She heard some strange clicking she couldn't recognize, but made her nervous.
