Simone is bound. Her legs are spread into a taut side split, with her ankles tied to opposite corners of her domme's oversized bed, dividing the bed in two diagonally. Her arms are doubled up, with tight loops of red rope tying her wrists to her shoulders, and her hands are bundled up inside small latex mitts which render them useless. She balances upright, although she could easily flop backward, or forward onto her chest. She has a red ball gag in her mouth and a hood over her head, blinding her. She holds her position patiently, barely moving a muscle.
Ellie is knelt in front of her.
"Young lady," Miriam says to Ellie, stroking her ear, "you've had your last orgasm for the day. You're done. And you know that you have a great deal of punishment waiting for you. We'll get to that another time. Nymph, however... has shown me exceptional discipline and restraint, both in the scene today and in the past few weeks. She has served me well, and she has earned a reward. You are her reward.
"I'm going to leave her in your power. I'm going to go and prepare us all an evening meal. In about forty-five minutes' time, you'll hear a dinner gong, and when you hear it you'll have sixty seconds to both join me for dinner. Until then... her body, which is mine, is yours. And you may do anything you wish to her."
Ellie stares at Simone's eyeless face. "Can I--?"
"Anything," Miriam says. She leans down, and whispers into Ellie's ear, making the hairs stand up on her arm. "Anything."
She presses a bottle of scented oil into Ellie's hand. Then she leaves.

Ellie bites her lip.
Simone doesn't move. She feels the mattress move as Ellie crawls forward, curiously.
"I've never been the dominant one before," Ellie says. The feeling is very unfamiliar. She doesn't know where to begin.
Ellie inspects her temporary sub's body, without touching it. Simone is a astonishingly petite, slim young woman. Her upper body tapers down to a naturally narrow waist. Ellie admires the creases around Simone's hips, where she has her legs spread achingly wide -- wider than Ellie could ever manage. Ellie works out for strength and aesthetics, not flexibility. It doesn't look as if being tied in a split hurts Simone at all. Or if it does, she doesn't show a hint of discomfort. Ellie wonders how much wider than one hundred and eighty degrees she could go.
She could find out. Simone's body is hers. She can do anything she wants with it.
Ellie pours a little oil into her hands. Then she puts her hands on Simone's waist, and smears her obliques with oil, while also probing her muscle tone with her fingers. Ellie squeezes tightly around the narrowest part of Simone's waist. Simone is just barely slim enough that Ellie can, if she squeezes hard, completely encircle her waist with her hands. Thumbs together in front, middle fingertips just touching behind. Ellie sighs with amazement when she discovers this. "Your body is so beautiful," she whispers.
Ellie moves upward. She massages Simone's abdomen, leaving a glistening trail of oil, circling her prominent lower ribs. A little more oil, and then Ellie cups Simone's bust, and thumbs her nipples. Simone has a very flat chest, her breasts making only small pointed peaks. She has broad, dark areolae, and fat nipples pierced horizontally with silver barbells. Ellie circles her nipples for a moment, and then toys with Simone's piercings.
"I don't really go for piercings," Ellie says. "At least, I didn't. Until I saw you. These are so beautiful. They look great on you. Really sexy. Did ma'am make you get them, or were they your idea? Was she the one who pierced you? Was it during a scene?"
Simone hears her, but doesn't respond to the questions. She has lapsed into an entirely passive, submissive mode. In her head, she is a doll right now: a totally inanimate flesh toy with a person sealed inside of it, wired up to all of its nerve endings. Her nipples are very sensitive. She tingles with private delight as Ellie plays with them, but shows nothing.
"I wonder if ma'am would make me get the same?" Ellie asks. She bites her lip, thinking about the possibilities of needle play. And then imagining how nipple piercings could be used during bondage. Both experiences could be very painful, and very exciting.
She pours more oil into her hand, and smears it across Simone's sternum, throat and shoulders. Simone is still wearing her leather choker. Ellie likes the choker too. The sexy way it sits tightly on Simone's throat, and becomes tight whenever she takes a breath or speaks...
Then there's the hood. Tight black leather. The hood covers Simone's eyes, nose and mouth, making it difficult to tell that she is ball-gagged underneath it. Nearly-invisible perforations below the nostrils allow her to breathe, gently.
"Ma'am calls you Nymph," Ellie says, while she rubs more oil into her sister sub's arms. "It's so beautiful. I wish she had a special name for me. I guess she calls me 'young lady' more often than anything else. That's nice, but it's not all that special. She does call me 'young lady' in public sometimes, though. I like that. The secret meaning it has. Did you know there are lots of kinds of nymph? You could be one kind of nymph and I could be another. Oh... I guess it's ma'am's decision, though."
More oil. Ellie moves her hands down now, following the angle of Simone's hips, and caressing her firm little ass. Simone's dark skin is already perfectly unblemished, but the coat of oil makes her body shine, and makes her smell like wildflowers. Her pussy is pressed into the sheets. Ellie massages her thighs. Then she follows Simone's right leg, and calf, and plays with her dainty right foot. She rubs oil into her instep, and around her bound ankle, and between her toes.
"Do you like this?" Ellie asks. "I really love it when ma'am plays with my feet. Not everyone has sensitive feet like I do. It just feels so good when she does... this... and this..."
No reaction from Simone.
"No? Then what would you like?" Ellie strokes her calf again, and then her inner thigh. She oils Simone's left leg and foot, making sure she's completely covered. "I don't know what to do with you. Ma'am said I could do anything. I guess I need to think like ma'am does. She always does whatever gives her the most pleasure. I could punish you. I'm allowed to."
Simone doesn't react.
Ellie reaches forward, tentatively, for Simone's nipples. She grips them, not too tightly, and considers giving Simone a real squeeze. Just to see how she reacts. To see what it would be like to be the one delivering the pain. But Ellie relents. It's not something which would give her pleasure. It's not in her nature. Unless she were ordered. If she were ordered, she would do it.
She asks Simone, "When was the last time you came?"
Simone doesn't respond.
"Oh, it was down in the dungeon," Ellie remembers. "You came when ma'am told you to. But before that, I mean. How long had it been? Ma'am said she doesn't let you come very often. Even when you beg for it. It's the same with me. I'm so turned on for her. Nearly all the time."
Simone doesn't respond.
