Chapter 03
Ken's women experience much pain and humiliation.
Karla had gone off to university shortly after Ken married Celia. Karla hadn't been able to handle her emotions at the time of the wedding since she had thought that Ken would marry her some day. She had to get away from Mackey or go into hysterics every time she thought of losing Ken to Celia. Karla knew that Celia was a good person and cared about her. She didn't want to interfere in Ken and Celia's marriage although her own heart was breaking.
Karla was even more upset when she learned that the anonymous benefactor who was paying for her education was, in fact, Celia. Celia's parents were well off and had given her a large sum of money as a wedding gift. This was not money she would need to share with Ken. Ken received money from his photo studio "hobby" and from his wealthy father. Celia's parents knew Ken's reputation as a playboy and wanted Celia to have some money of her own 'just in case'. Aware of Karla's financial situation, Celia had transferred a large portion of her bank account into Karla's. Although Karla had been a contender for Ken's affections, Celia had had a soft spot in her heart for Karla ever since that gorgeous woman had spent so much time performing cunnilingus on her when Ken and Celia had their first sexual encounter. Although Ken had demanded that Karla perform the ritual, Karla had been so warm and loving in providing that comfort, that Celia felt a strong affection toward Ken's mistress. She felt that their lives were somehow intertwined.
Celia, in her third trimester of pregnancy, was ill; the illness stemmed not from the pregnancy but from the weekly beatings administered by her husband. She was terrified that she would lose the child, but she was even more frightened of having to be hospitalized and her secret becoming public knowledge. She was concerned that her father would murder Ken if he learned of the beatings. She didn't want her father to go to prison -- and she didn't want to her baby to grow up without a father.
By this time, she no longer had strong feelings for Ken. They had evaporated slowly but surely because of his lack of concern for their unborn child. She was becoming increasingly despondent and was not leaving her bed for days at a time. Fortunately for everyone, Karla returned to Mackey during a fairly long school break. One of the first things she did was go to visit Celia to thank her for providing for her university and nurse's training. She wouldn't have had sufficient funds for tuition, books, lab fees, and living expenses. She was extremely grateful to Celia and wanted to express her thanks.
Karla arrived at the Mackey home on a Friday afternoon while Ken was at his photography studio, bedding a new customer, a pretty woman who came to have her picture taken and stayed for lunch. Ken's assistants dined on her body before and after Ken provided that lunch in her vagina. The studio's two female managers no longer held title either to heterosexual or even bisexual status. After years of eating pussy, these former straight ladies had become full "blown" lesbians probably because they had had been latent homosexuals in the first place. The studio had gained a reputation of catering to the "in" crowd. "In" referring to vaginas. Frequently, when a horny female made an appointment to have her picture 'taken", she was referring to her pussy, not her face. The assistants would place a 'closed' sign on the shop door and, taking the woman to the back bedroom, would "open" her for business. This boudoir bordello had quite a few female customers; however, it was never really profitable. The two lez-ladies were too busy 'eating up the profits' to tend to photography. Ken continued to use the studio to recruit new witch-bitches, but he had to rely on his father's largesse to maintain his life style.
When no one answered her repeated knocks, Karla went around to the kitchen door and peeked in. Seeing no one, she tried the door and found it unlocked. She entered the house and began calling Celia's name.
"In here, Karla," whispered Celia, "I'm in the bedroom."
Karla was aghast when she saw Celia's condition and wanted to call an ambulance. When Celia pleaded that she not call 911, Karla called Dr. Janssen who rushed to the Mackey home. He medicated Celia's wounds and tried to convince her to go to hospital. Angry as a hornet at Ken's treatment of Celia, he also wanted to call the police.
Celia was able to dissuade him from taking that course of action, but he stayed at her bedside administering to her until Ken returned home.
The doctor read the riot act to Ken and told him that if he found even one more welt on Celia's body that he would call the police, Ken's father, Celia's father, and the local newspaper. Ken appeared to be contrite, but he was seething inwardly thinking that Celia had betrayed him. He was already thinking up new ways to punish her.
Karla stayed with Celia for the next couple of weeks. By that time, Dr. Janssen and Karla had nursed Celia to a healthier state just in time for her to give birth to a beautiful baby girl she named Joanna. Dr. Janssen, Karla, and Celia's mother delivered the child at the Mackey home as Celia adamantly refused to go to the maternity ward. Celia had told her mother she preferred home birthing, and Celia's mother said she understood. Her mother, knowing Celia's problem with physical sensitivity, didn't try to talk her daughter out of it. She figured that Dr. Janssen would be better able to handle the situation than the hospital staff. She was also pleased that Karla, a student nurse, would be there for Celia.
Karla told Ken she would kill him herself if he beat Celia again. She had lost all feeling for the S.O.B. Unfortunately, she had to go back to university and her classes. It wasn't long before Ken's resentment toward Celia pushed him into further punishing her. However, he had learned from his mistakes and found ways to hurt her without leaving marks on her body.
Ken found several whips that left little evidence of their use. He tried them all on Celia until he found a few that he enjoyed using on her buttocks, thighs, and breasts. They were a little over two feet long with shafts made of a strong flexible plastic. The first, called a flicker whip, had a narrow leather strip, a popper, on the end. With just a slight motion of his wrist, Ken could keep the end flicking back and forth across Celia's flesh in a blur without producing welts. As Celia only felt pain at the initial instant of the stroke, the constant touch of the popper kept her in pain the entire time Ken used it. He would hang Celia from the basement ceiling and 'flick the flicker' across her buttocks. Usually not satisfied with seeing those cheeks turn scarlet, he would use the whip between her upper thighs, front and back, until they were almost blood red. Still not content, he would flick her nipples and breasts, the whip becoming a blur in his expert hands. When she would pass out, he'd get a cup of coffee, sit and admire his handiwork. Ken was evil, incarnate.
Two other such instruments, called slappers, that he employed on Celia's tender skin had rectangular leather strips, one flexible and one firm. These too could be flicked back and forth with minimal wrist motion. Ken became adept at flicking them fast enough to also blur them. He found another advantage to these whips. He did not feel constrained to limit their use to a dozen strokes. He would employ them for up to twelve minutes or until Celia fainted. Her breasts, thighs, and buttocks would become very reddened but didn't retain marks.
