It took a few minutes for Suzie and me to gather ourselves together after witnessing the extreme BDSM display of the first volunteer submissive being tormented and humiliated at The Mill Club's Second Annual Gala. Finally Suzie said to me, "Let's find Len and Leila and set a date for getting together."
"Good idea," I replied. "I think I saw them across the room on the other side of the stage."
We walked that way and suddenly heard, "Suzie. Over here."
It was Leila, with her husband, Len, waving at us. We wove our way through the people and the folding chairs until we reached them. Leila hugged Suzie. They both looked like they had had the energy sapped out of them.
Suzie said, "Oh Leila. That was too much. So intense."
"It was," Leila replied. "So intense is right. And such a turn on. Didn't it turn you on?"
"I have to admit it did. Part of me wanted to look away, but the other part wouldn't let me. I wanted to see how much she could take. And how she reacted to it all. At the end I thought I would cum just from watching her spasms and screams."
"And you, Leila," I said. We were surprised to see you up there flogging away. I thought you specialized in beating just Len here. Decide to branch out?"
I don't know, Tom, It was spur of the moment, you know? And it took me by surprise when he announced 'front only, below the navel'. With Len I have to go easy there. You can imagine. But with nothing in the way I just let it all out. That gave me a rush."
Len said, "Just be sure you remember who you're working on, Baby!"
Suzie changed the subject. "How about that date we're supposed to make?"
Leila said, "How about next Saturday? A week from today. Len's anxious to show you how he sets our equipment up in our apartment. I think he might even want to demonstrate how everything works. Right, Len?"
Just then the lights in the room dimmed, signaling that the next "act" of the entertainment would be starting. Everyone made their way back to the chairs around the stage. I noticed that Julie was sitting by herself in the back row of chairs behind the stage. As Suzie and I were in front of the stage we could see her from where we sat.
"How come Julie's sitting by herself over there?" I asked Bob.
"Well, I didn't like her standing way in the back of the room like she was, so I told her to sit there. Just to be sure she stayed seated I cuffed her hands behind the chair, attached to the back. As you can see, I draped her coat over her shoulders so it covers the cuffs. I want her to enjoy the full effect of last night's spanking, especially when she starts squirming with the vibrator on."
"You're bad, Bob," Suzie said. Hasn't she had enough?"
The lights dimmed even more and the hall was now in almost complete darkness. The entertainment committee's chairman, Ron broke the silence with, "All right, folks, are you ready for the next act?"
A resounding "Yes" was shouted by everyone in the audience.
"We did real well with Sub #1. Collected more for our charity than we expected. Thank you all for your generosity. Let's keep it going for our next act. Dungeon master Lloyd, will you please bring in Sub #2?"
Once again, the drum roll began and in the semi-darkness we could barely see Lloyd emerge from a side door and walk toward the stage, leading the next sub by a chain attached to his wrists. They walked very slowly and as they got nearer to the stage we could see that it was a male this time, and he too was hooded, and so couldn't see anything. Lloyd carefully led him up the steps onto the stage and to the center where Sub #1 had just spent an hour. The drum roll which had softened somewhat, increased again until the spotlights turned on, revealing Sub #2 alone on the stage. The crowd applauded as they looked over Sub #2s body.
He was taller than average, probably 6'1", muscular and tan except for a swimsuit paleness. He was wearing a black leather hood similar to Sub #1's. The difference was that this one had an opening for the mouth. I wondered what the significance of that was. His wrists and ankles had black leather cuffs like the previous sub. The obvious difference was a black leather strap, about one inch wide, wrapped around the top of his scrotum, below the base of his cock. It had a metallic d-ring attached to it. The strap had the effect of squeezing his balls into a tight sac. While we were all taking this in, Ted, one of the entertainment committee members, came up to the sub with a step ladder and a box of equipment. He positioned the sub so that his back faced the front of the stage. He then attached the two ankle cuffs to bolts in the floor, about thirty inches apart. Next, Ted climbed up the step ladder and attached the sub's wrists to chains hanging from bolts in the ceiling, about the same distance apart as were his feet.
As people in the audience took in the sight of the naked male spotlighted on the stage, spread-eagled, stretched out, and naked, the low drum roll continued. They hadn't noticed that walking toward the stage was Lloyd again, leading another sub. The drum roll went into a crescendo as they walked up the steps to the stage and to the center. This beautiful specimen of woman, Sub #3, was also naked, save for ankle and wrist cuffs. All that we could see below the hood, was an athletic, flawless, completely depilated body. The crowd gasped. They didn't expect a duet. Now the drum roll stopped.
In his free hand, Lloyd carried two small platforms which he set on the floor next to Sub #2's feet. They were about seven inches tall and the platform was about 8" x 4". He placed them so that they were touching the inside of each ankle and extended a little to the front of his legs. He whispered something to Sub #3 and guided her so she was facing Sub #2. He then helped her place her feet on the platforms, fastening her ankle cuffs with chains to the floor. Ted then got on the ladder and fastened her wrists to the other sub's wrists.
The crowd watched intently while all this transpired. I wondered what was going to happen next. I expect that everyone else did too. Since Suzie and I were facing Sub #2's back, we could see that he had a butt plug with a metal ring about one inch in diameter at the end, protruding from his ass. I wondered if Sub #3 had one too. At this point the two subs were facing each other, their bodies touching. Because of the platform she was standing on their upper bodies matched up pretty well.
"Now that's not a bad position to be left in," Bob said to us. Did you see the knockers on that gal? She can press those into my chest any day."
I replied, "You'd like that, huh Bob? You want to change places with him right now?"
"Nah. Don't know what all's going to happen from here on. I'm chicken. I admit it."
Ron spoke again, "Wells surprise, folks. A two for one special tonight. Ted and Nancy, our two other entertainment committee members, are going to come up now to finish setting the scene. As you know, they and I are the only people that know what's going to happen from here on. Not even Lloyd knows. And, if you're wondering, those little platforms the little lady's standing on were made to measure by our cabinet-maker Jules. How did he know how tall to make them? Well we measured each of the six sub volunteers. The distance from the floor to their mouths. Then, when Lloyd selected these two just before they came out, Jules assembled the platforms from assorted size materials he had already made."
Ted and Nancy were retrieving equipment from the box on the stage. Ted held a PVC pipe, about four feet long. Nancy had what appeared to be a PVC fitting, a "T" shaped coupler with about one inch of pipe at each end. She said something to Sub #2 and he opened his mouth. She then place one end of the "T" into his mouth. Then she placed a leather thong around the upright part of the "T" and around his head where she pulled it tight and tied it.
Ted then placed the four foot section of pipe into the upright part of the "T". The top foot or so extended through the hole in the ceiling. Then Nancy placed the other end of the "T" into Sub #3's mouth, fastening it in place with another leather thong. She then took two leather straps and wrapped them around both their heads, fastening them behind his head with a belt type buckle.
