"Let me guess," Katie said. "This isn't what it looks like?"
Her joyful smile gone, Sarah's eyes were wide with panic. But she had to say
something...
"I... I thought..." she stammered.
"You thought
what?"
Katie demanded. "You thought I wouldn't find out, or you thought I wouldn't mind? If it's the first one, you're a sneaky little cunt. If it's the
second
, you're delusional. So which is it?"
From my spot on the bed, I couldn't help but admire Katie all over again. In contrast to Sarah's lithe dancer's body, Katie had the classic "bombshell" figure that I've always pined for: wide hips, long legs, powerful thighs, ample breasts, a round face, and an irresistibly plump bottom. In tender moments, sometimes I called her
"My pinup girl".
Her long, coal-black hair—brushed straight back until it shined—was the perfect antithesis to Sarah's quirky tangle of cinnamon-red ringlets. Today, like most days at the campaign office, she was wearing a sensible white blouse paired with a navy blue pencil skirt, a tiny golden Star of David pendant discretely hanging around her neck.
Sarah's courage evaporated. For one moment, her eyes darted down to me, where I still lay on the bed—naked as the day I was born, with a ring around my rigid penis, a ball gag in my mouth, and metal clamps on my nipples, shackled and chained to the bedposts by my wrists and ankles.
First, I hoped that I had a night of fun with Katie ahead of me. Then, when Sarah took me against my will, I hoped that Katie would never find out. Now, it looked like both of those hopes were dashed in the same hour. The best I could hope for now was freedom, and a respite from Sarah's torture. Would I be delusional to hope for Katie's forgiveness on top of that?
"I asked you a question, you scrawny little Kiwi tart!" Katie snapped. "
Which is it?"
In the year that we'd dated, I had never heard Katie's voice laced with that kind of unfiltered anger. In spite of everything that had happened to me in that room, I thanked God that it wasn't directed at me. At least not yet...
"I... I thought you were working late..." Sarah said timidly. "Really, I did..."
"Really? Well, I'm sorry to spoil your little romantic night. Now get off of him!"
Sarah didn't need to be told twice. She slid off of my bound body and moved to stand next to the bed. I briefly shuddered as her bare foot brushed my dangerously engorged cock, now dark with blood.
"Stand up straight!" Katie barked. "No, don't look at your feet—look at
me
when I talk to you!"
I expected anger, but her word choice caught me off-guard. She sounded like someone used to being obeyed, like a drill sergeant, or a particularly strict schoolmistress, or... A
Dominatrix?
No. Bullshit. It can't be...
Maybe Sarah's fake note was only
half
a lie. Maybe Katie really
did
have a taste for Domination. But
why
did Sarah seem so quick to obey her? Unless...
"Get on your knees!" Katie ordered.
In one quick movement, Sarah obeyed; she dropped down to her knees, her eyes obediently forward. She didn't even bother to pull up her red leather corset to cover her half-exposed breasts.
That settled it. Sarah seemed
far
too accustomed to taking orders like that. There was no doubt in my mind that Katie and Sarah had been though these motions before—presumably under more pleasant circumstances. Katie was a Domme, and Sarah was her sub.
If not for my
own
unfortunate situation, I might have found it arousing.
Suddenly, something on the floor caught Katie's attention. I wondered what she could possibly be looking at, until I remembered that I had set Sarah's note on the ground before tying myself to the bed.
"That note..." Katie said, her voice a bit softer. "Any reason it says
'David'
on it?"
I saw Sarah's chest heaving as her breath sped up. She chanced fate, and didn't answer.
"Nothing to say, Tiny Dancer? That's fine. Hand me the note, then. I'll find out myself," Katie said.
This time, Sarah didn't dare disobey. Still on her knees, she grabbed up the note and handed it up to Katie like a peace offering.
Katie snatched up the note. As her eyes darted over it, ping-ponging back and forth, her brow slowly furrowed with renewed anger—until finally she raised an eyebrow in a gesture of cruel amusement.
"That's cheeky, Sarah," she said, a note of mocking admiration in her voice. "A little thing like you? I didn't know you had it in you. But unluckily for you,
I
actually know what your handwriting looks like."
She ripped the note in half and dropped the pieces to the ground.
"I suppose there's a reason he was in my room in the first place?" Katie asked.
Sarah tried to stay silent again, but Katie would have none of it. Her eyes narrowed.
"Don't you dare try to blame my David for that one, girl. I know you had something to do with it.
Talk!"
Sarah gulped. She mumbled something, too quietly to hear.
"Louder!" Katie ordered. "I can't hear you."
"Facebook," Sarah repeated. "I, uh... You left your laptop here. I said I... Uh... I said
you
needed to borrow a textbook..."
Katie gave a sniff of disapproval.
"Typical Sarah. Can't get a man into bed without the
internet
on her side."
Her anger fading into faint amusement, Katie looked Sarah over as she knelt at her feet, savoring her fear and humiliation.
"And just what the hell are you
wearing
? Since when do you own a corset like that?"
Sarah's face reddened.
"It... It was a birthday present. From one of my girlfriends in Auckland. I... I always wanted one like this," she said.
Katie's eyes widened, and her cold stare broke into a smile of amusement. For a moment, I thought she might laugh.
"You've
always
wanted one? And why's that, exactly? You got tired of spending so many nights over my
knee?
You thought you could finally play the Domme for once?"
Her humiliation deepening, Sarah's face trembled slightly.
"Something like that..." she whispered timidly.
Katie laughed a mirthless laugh. She drew closer to Sarah and playfully ran her slender fingers across her face, finally giving Sarah's cheek a hard pinch.
"I always knew you were a little too big for your britches, girl. But this is a new low for you. Silly little Sarah... If you're really curious, I'll give you some advice. You want to know the first rule of Domination?"
Sarah shrugged.
"This is the first rule of Domination: if you need a leather corset to feel powerful, you're not a real Domme, and you never were," Katie said.
With that, she drew her hand back and gave Sarah a hard slap across the face, heavy enough to leave a pink mark on her cheek.
"Now stay there. Keep your eyes forward," Katie ordered.
Sarah froze in place, probably summoning all her years of dance training as she struggled to keep her body still. She
still
didn't dare pull up her corset, as if afraid to risk Katie's wrath by moving without permission.
But what about
me
? With Sarah suitably intimidated, Katie must have had some choice words for me. I braced myself.
But as Katie walked over to me, I saw her expression soften. Her eyes were now filled with concern, like a worried mother approaching a sick child in bed. And with all the lingering pain from Sarah's brutal games, I definitely felt the part.
When Katie reached out with one hand to touch my face, I shrank back on instinct.
"Shhhh..." Katie cooed. "It's alright, baby. I'm here. She can't hurt you now. Everything's gonna be alright."
She moved her hand downward to my nipples, still tightly in the grip of Sarah's metal clamps. As gently as she could, she squeezed the clamps open to free my nipples, then pulled them off—first the left one, then the right one. My nipples were raw and bruised from Sarah twisting them, but feeling the clamps removed made me sigh in relief.
Again, she reached towards my face.
"Hold still, baby. It's okay. I'm just gonna take this gag out of your mouth," she said.
She pulled the leather strap off of my head and moved to pluck the foam rubber ball gag out of my mouth.
I coughed and jerked my head, moving my tongue around in my mouth to chase away the foul taste of foam rubber. With the ball gag pressing down on it for the last half-hour, my tongue felt numb.
"Rough night, David?" Katie asked.
At a loss for words, I nodded.
"Katie, I... You know I would never—" I started.
Katie put a finger to my lips to shush me.
"I know you wouldn't, baby. And you'll have plenty of time to explain yourself soon. You know how the note said I didn't think any less of you for being...the way you are?"
I nodded again.
