Chapter 3: A Parable.
The next morning after breakfast, Donna called Junie into the office. "That bastard finally wrote you an apology. Not much of one, if you ask me."
Junie looked at the familiar capitals of her former Dom.
JUNIE,
I AM SORRY THAT THINGS DID NOT WORK OUT BETWEEN US. I AM SORRY IF THE THINGS I DID FRIGHTENED YOU. I MUST HAVE MISINTERPRETED WHAT I THOUGHT YOU WANTED FROM A DOM.
PERHAPS YOU FIND WHAT YOU NEED WITH THESE NEW PEOPLE.
SIR JAMES
P.S. ATTACHED IS THE NAME AND WEBSITE OF THE MAZDA DEALERSHIP. YOU CAN CONTACT THEM AS TO WHEN YOUR MIATA WILL BE READY TO PICK UP. THEY HAD TO SPECIAL ORDER IT TO GET IT IN YELLOW.
"He always used caps. One time I asked him why and he said he just liked it that way, and that it wasn't my place to ask. I guess I should have gotten a clue at the very beginning. It's not much of an apology is it, more of an excuse. At least he squeezed the word sorry in there a couple of times." Junie pursed her lips. "Sorry bastard."
Donna commented, her voice dry, "He will be sorrier once he gets to know Agent Durant. Hopefully he will have a better idea of how close he came to being an accomplice to rape and murder."
The link showed a picture of a shiny black Mazda Miata. It had an animated clip that showed the automatic hardtop retracting feature. Junie crowed with delight. "Oh, look at it!" Donna looked over her shoulder. "It will be prettier in yellow."
Junie giggled, "James will turn yellow when he talks to that Agent Durant."
Bob's voice called up from the basement. "Junie, come down and help me with this." He was busy dismantling the St. Andrews cross and moving it and some of the other more obvious bondage equipment in preparation for the plumbing contractor to come in and work on the bathroom Bob was having built in the basement.
As Junie held the smooth heavy piece of timber steady as he removed the screws that held it place, Bob spoke, "I made this easy to dismantle so we could do this. Folks in town think I am crazy already. It would make the whole place buzz to learn I have a torture chamber in my basement."
Junie giggled and nodded. It had been a busy few days since the FBI agents had left. Bob had framed in a wall between what would be her bedroom and a second room that Junie was beginning to think of as just 'her' room. He had made her help him every step of the way; measuring, holding the wood for him as he sawed, handing him tools like an ER nurse. Junie had been having little spasms of fear and then the subsequent bouts depression. She would find herself pausing, images of knives and death filling her mind, her mouth dry and her heart racing. Bob had been careful to keep her near and kept her moving forward, never letting her stop and get stuck in the feelings for long.
Many times a day Junie found herself jerked from her frightened introspection by a firm tug on a nipple pulling her off balance, and Bob's sharp blue gaze boring into her eyes. "Stay here, Junie. Stay in the moment. Remember, 'No Worrying'." Junie found herself finding excuses to stay near him, needing his watchful eye to keep her from falling into panic.
Bob had kept his promise of keeping her nipples tender and sensitive to his slightest touch. Lately he had her wearing little rubber bands around them, keeping them swollen and erect. Junie had altered all the bras she had except one, carefully cutting holes so her constantly erect nipples could stick through and neatly binding the edges. She embroidered around each opening, adding decorative stars, flower petals, and even flames on her black bra. At first she did this because she wanted her nipples more accessible for Bob, but she found she liked the way they looked and the sensation of her clothing on her tender flesh was a constant erotic reminder.
Junie was looking at pictures of body modification on her computer, looking at the nipple piercings. "Those look so cool."
Donna looked over her shoulder. "I guess. Never was much interested in body jewelry myself. Never much interested in jewelry at all. Do you think you would like something like that?"
Junie looked thoughtful. "Not ever before, but now, lately?" She giggled and looked down her loose top at her swollen exposed nipples. "I think it would look really sexy."
Donna looked down Junie's shirt. "They look pretty damn sexy as it is." She reached her hand down Junie's shirt and rolled a nipple between her fingers. Junie caught her breath and arched her back, stretching like a cat and purring. "You would have to get our Master's permission to get any piercings."
"I don't know if I really want to. That feels so good, what you are doing. Would a piercing get in the way of that?"
Donna had both hands down the front of Junie's loose tee and her lips pressed against Junie's neck as Junie cruised the web, looking at various examples of nipple jewelry. "I don't know. Some of those pictures are cute and sexy, but some just look brutal and it looks like the nipples are scarred and damaged. Look at that site for non-piercing nipple jewelry."
Junie was starting to quiver from the rush of sensations coming from Donna's cool fingers rubbing and tugging at her. She found herself having increasing difficulty typing, soft giggles and squeals leaking from her lips as Donna would randomly pinch and tweak. "Maybe that would be a better idea, just as pretty but not so risky."
Donna murmured a soft encouraging sound as she kissed Junie's neck. Junie wasn't sure if it was for her observation about the jewelry or for her rapidly soaring excitement. Junie pushed the lid of her laptop closed and pushed it away. "That feels so nice."
Donna's voice was husky. "The sun on the deck is just right. Let's go sunbathe a little, my sweet Junie."
