Barker inhaled the distinct fragrance of saline air as the van began its descent on the other side of a hill it had struggled to ascend, the road snaking down into the leafy Dorset countryside, before beginning to ascend a smaller but more prominent hill below it. Thelma put her hand on his crotch and felt the swell of his cock, smiling as she teased the bell within the fabric with her fingers.
"You like that salty smell don't you?... it's a little like a faint whiff of pussy isn't it?" She smiled wickedly as Barker's gape, and the stiffening of his cock in her fingers confirmed that the air stimulated him, even if it wasn't remotely like aroused cunt. She leaned closer to the screen and turned her head to the flat topped summit of the hill to one side, as the van approached to pass slightly below it.
"This is Gallows Hill... it's history excited Prudence, and it's proximity to the house helped her decide to purchase it...". She turned and stared into his eyes, clenching her fingers about his erection.
"...many a male danced high up on a gibbet here, as recently as 70 years ago... a local legend says you can still here the grunts of the ghosts of those men as they choked, at certain dates that coincide with their executions..." She sneered as she felt his cock pulse in her grasp, gently massaging it as she felt the vibrations of the van's engine through it, and laughed softly.
"That excites you the way it did Prudence... only from a different perspective... and of course, Prudence believes if there's any truth in the legend, it's that those grunts are the sound of the victims ejaculating... spending their last as they're viewed by the satisfied womenfolk." Barker gasped and jerked at the thought, having Thelma laugh louder and swiftly remove her hand from his cock. He took a sharp intake of breath and tried hard to concentrate on his driving, but the thought of being introduced to Ruby at their destination kept him rigid, and Thelma delighted in continuing the tease once she saw he'd managed to hold his seed.
"Prudence has brought many a debutante male submissive up here from the house, having reduced them to tears and confirming their place under her... the spot where the gibbet stood is conveniently out of sight of the road, yet so teasingly close to it..." She opened her handbag and took out a compact, pursing her lips in the reflection as she applied a little vermilion lipstick.
"...She loves to have them stripped naked, and then taken to masturbate on the spot where the gibbet knew the pleasure of those men... dominating them with her horsewhip in the open, until they spend. It's such a pleasure to see grown men exposed and shooting their seed in honour of defeat at a woman's hands... the grunts they make as they spurt in submission, makes up for any fanciful legends." Their gentle descent the other side had Barker's heart raced as the sea now came into view, and Thelma took on her commanding face once more as she guided him.
"Left here... It's just a little way round this lane." Barker turned from what already seemed to him as a back road, into a single track road barely large enough for the van, the overhanging trees seeming to suck the vehicle into a tube.
"Right here..." The van bounced and swayed on a rough and twisting track, serving to conceal the intimacy of what lay ahead, and his cock perked to match Thelma's contented smile as he saw the sign; 'Gallows Hill House'. Thelma grinned.
"Even the local postman have difficulty finding this place... that sign should be back at the start of the track really, but you'll know there's a good reason for keeping this place nice and private... just the same, it does irk Ruby, having to check at the post office in the village some three miles off, when post has been expected." After another twist in the road, Barker brought the van to a halt when confronted by tall wrought iron gates carrying the letter box so often undiscovered, Thelma sternly pointing him to them.
"Open them up... they ensure no wandering or lost souls drive in uninvited." Barker's anticipation hit a new high as his ears picked up the soothing sound of the ocean breaking against the shore close by as he lifted the latch and swung the gates wide. He could still see nothing from this point, other than a few trees hanging precariously over what he guessed was a cliff-top some 100 yards ahead of him. He took the van through, and it lurched as the track took it at a right angle immediately past the gates, then after closing them they proceeded toward an arched gap in the trees and shrubs to what lay beyond. Thelma smiled as Barker took in a view of the rustic building which stood beyond.
"Home at last... I do so love coming here, its gentile outward innocence masks the debauchery openly practiced within so well." Barker erected in anticipation as Thelma guided him to the rear of the house, under the natural escarpment and it's dense trees which hid the house from eyes on the hills above. It was still a substantial building in Barker's eyes, compared with the habitations he'd resided in; it was small in comparison to Mannerly Hall of course, but not the bijou cottage his mind's eye had visioned. The two storeys were swathed in wisteria and rambling roses which reached up in places to the dormer windows which peeped out from the red tiled roof, indicating that six or seven bedrooms - or upper rooms for other purposes - were available to oblige Prudence's sexual pleasures, the roots of those showy plants twisted about the supports of a wide verandah which skirted the house.
As Barker gaped at the manicured lawn which spread from the sides of the house, defying the natural undergrowth which kept the secret of the house from unwanted eyes, he also noted several outbuildings on the opposite side from the entrance, one curious looking structure standing almost awkwardly on the lawn, no more than fifteen yards from the house. Thelma smirked.
"All in good time Barker, you'll soon learn... or be taught to understand, what everything is here for.". She turned his head and had him view a well defined path which led from the side of the house, up the slope through trees to a gate in a surrounding wall; itself hidden from external view by the dense trees and undergrowth which had been allowed to grow wild beyond its perimeter.
"That's the path that begins the walk of shame, up to the gallows point where many a sufficiently broken male has spent his seed in obedience to femininity... there's no obvious tell-tale path beyond the gate, but I'm sure the sight of a naked male being whipped by a procession of women in broad daylight, must have been observed by someone... it's been enjoyed so many times, but that wouldn't bother Prudence too much." Thelma smirked again as he thought on that walk, then turned his head to take in the panorama of the wooded crags and the sea which the house faced.
"... it's the walks in the other direction that our male guests are often taught to fear the most... Prudence loves to oblige her sordid whims, and those of the many madams she associates with..." She took his arm and began to lead him round to the front of the house, the mischievous smile on her face which accompanied her firm grip, telling him that this was a world where feminine dominance was to be practiced and enjoyed openly, without question; the serenely beautiful innocence of the setting belying the purpose that the privacy allowed it.
"...the house has its own private and secluded cove, with a natural quay to one side... the sandy beach is put to good use for purposes of entertainment, and many a once unruly, and then no longer required male, has departed forever by boat on having provided that entertainment..." Thelma's tart satisfaction in revealing some of the sexually invigorating delights of the domain was patently evident as she sighed wistfully, while Barker took in the naturally shelved landscape which awarded privacy, and a covert landing place for those wishing to have their movements remain anonymous.
"...we've had many a female visitor, some from very exotic places, arrive incognito to indulge in entertainment... and some to receive discarded masculinity, disciplined to obedience and taken to be put to good use by women elsewhere on the globe... the romance, and the pleasure of seeing the realisation on the faces of chosen males, as they're taken into ownership by dusky women, eager to venture south beyond Normandy with their prizes, is a pleasure that is difficult to eclipse." Barker could not see the beach or cove from this point, but his eyes scanned the open blue ocean beyond the verge of the lawn, his cock erect as he imagined the submissive and masochistic pleasures of those males, as they sniffed at the rich arousal of dark and inviting cunts while they were spirited away to know enslavement, who knows where.
