Part Five: A Rare Gift
The sun was setting outside as Cheri struggled, a rag in her hand, to try and wipe off the dinner table. Movement wasn't easy in these shackles. Cheri could only walk in short steps, could barely extend her hands away from her body, and the corset made her waist rigid. It also didn't help that her legs were basically welded together above the knee, nor that every movement made the toys inserted into Cheri's loins tease her. But she cleaned vigorously nonetheless. She picked up the cardboard and packaging, and the discarded restraints from Gabrielle's sick games with Cheri and her friends were all collected and neatly put away. Cheri even dug out the vacuum, which thankfully drowned out the fretful noises coming from her bedroom. Cheri dreaded what might be happening to Gwen.
It was her fault. She'd mouthed off and defied Gabrielle, trying to defend Gwen, and it backfired. Just like Laura's moment of defiance had backfired. Now Gwen was taking a lashing for Cheri's behavior, and Cheri hoped to God that was just an expression. But all Cheri had to do was clean. Sure she was chained and gagged in this latex prison, but there was no Gabrielle around. Hardly fair.
Finishing awkwardly with the table (her arms could only reach so much), Cheri heard yet another whimper from the closet in the living room. She'd been trying to tune those out for what must be hours. Laura was still in there, savagely bound in an extreme position. Gabrielle was punishing them all but Laura had it the worst by far. Cheri tried again to ignore it as she set the table for dinner. Should she set four place settings, or only three? That question nearly made Cheri drop the plates.
The strained cries grew louder. It was unbearable. Cheri approached the closet door, knowing she couldn't open it without Gabrielle knowing. Carefully, she lowered herself onto her knees and, for the second time today, peered intently into the white paint of the door as though trying to see through it. Her friend sat inches away.
Cheri was still gagged. She couldn't say anything if she wanted to, so she leaned close to the door and, with her cuffed hand, rapped gently on the wood. The pattern of groans immediately ceased and Cheri could tell Laura was listening for the sound. She rapped again and heard Laura grunt deliberately through her gag.
"Mmmph." Cheri responded.
Hey Laura, it's me
.
More muffled sounds. Laura was clearly trying to speak despite her oppressive muzzle.
"Mmmph."
I want to help. I really do. But there's nothing I can do.
Laura's sounds were more frantic now. Cheri could hear her struggling wildly against her restraints. Laura must be in tremendous discomfort after all this time.
"Mmmph."
It's going to be ok, Laura. I promise
. But each sound from Cheri only seemed to make Laura more desperate for freedom. Cheri wasn't helping at all. Cheri heard her bedroom door open. Gabrielle must be returning. As quick as she could, Cheri struggled to her feet and made for the dining room. When Gabrielle strolled in, Cheri was dutifully setting the table.
"I am impressed, Cheri," Gabrielle said as she looked about the house. Cheri was just glad her mood had improved. "'Ave you also cleaned ze bedrooms?"
Cheri shook her head apologetically. "Alright," Gabrielle didn't seem worried, "Tend to zem before I finish preparing dinner."
Cheri made for the door as fast as she could. "But," Gabrielle warned her retreating back, "Gwen is not to be touched. Understand?"
Cheri turned and nodded. Gabrielle seemed to love Cheri's new humility. Cheri told herself it was just an act. She prayed it was just an act.
Cheri made straight for her bedroom to find quite a sound coming from inside. She pushed open the door to find Gwen still tied spread eagle on her bed as before. Her ass and thighs resembled a fire engine thanks to Gabrielle's liberal use of her crop. She looked exhausted but she struggled and moaned frantically as the wand vibrator buzzed between her legs. Gabrielle had tied it to Gwen's hips with a length of rope and left it on at full power. Upon seeing Cheri, Gwen screamed into her gag and yanked at her restraints, imploring Cheri for help with wide eyes.
Communication isn't exactly easy when both parties are gagged, but Cheri gave Gwen a helpless look through violet locks and motioned out the door.
Gabrielle, remember?
That didn't seem to faze Gwen very much. Cheri sympathized, but Gwen's limbs were all in padlocked restraints. Cheri couldn't free her if she wanted. The anal hook looked nasty, but if Cheri untied it Gabrielle would surely find out. Cheri stood there meekly for a moment, then noticed the wall outlet. Cheri hobbled herself across the room and contorted herself until she managed to pull the vibrator's plug out of its socket. The wand died with a very thankful groan from its host.
Gwen still seemed eager for release, but Cheri couldn't risk any more than that. Instead she tidied things as she'd been instructed while Gwen's confused eyes followed her around the room. Cheri finished quickly and knew she had to leave. If she didn't follow instructions Gabrielle would get angry and Cheri had no idea who she'd take it out on. And Gabrielle couldn't find that vibrator unplugged...
Cheri tried wordlessly to explain her predicament to Gwen, but her friend still got quite upset when she saw Cheri heading for the outlet. Gwen shook her head frantically as Cheri replaced the plug, and the wand burst to life again inside her. A ten minute reprieve was the best Cheri could offer and by the time Cheri managed to close the door behind her, Gwen was already reeling from yet another bittersweet orgasm.
When Cheri cleaned Laura's room, however, something miraculous happened. In a bedside drawer Cheri found a tiny bronze key. Examining it, Cheri realized it was for Laura's myriad collection of padlocks. Breathing fast, Cheri pressed the key to the padlock on her wrist cuff, but it wouldn't fit.
Fuck!
Gabrielle had used a new set of locks on Cheri for this ridiculous outfit. Cheri couldn't release her own restraints. Carefully, she tucked the key under the buckle of her cuff. Somehow she'd find a use for this.

Cheri sat strapped to her dinner seat. Her arms were no longer bound to her sides, thankfully, but she still had to eat her dinner with chained hands. Gabrielle had little trust for her prisoners today and no time at all for irony. Gwen was at the table, too, but her arms were bound behind her and she could not reach the food on her plate. Cheri had to assist her between her own bites, and it was clear that sitting wasn't very comfortable for Gwen right now. Laura's place was still empty, but Cheri was steeling the remains of her courage.
"Would it be possible, Mistress, to let Laura have dinner, too?" Cheri knew Gabrielle best, and was trying to speak in a way she'd respond to.
"Why?" Gabrielle said without looking up from her own food. Apparently Laura was still not forgiven, and Cheri was daunted into silence for several more minutes. Then she tried again.
"S-She's barely eaten anything today, Mistress."
That gave Gabrielle pause. "I told you before, she made 'er choice."
"Please, Mistress."
Gabrielle stared her down. Cheri knew she was pushing her luck.
"What if I said she could only come out if you took 'er place?"
Cheri resented her own hesitation. "I would say yes, Mistress."
Gabrielle didn't speak again until she finished her meal. Then she rose and released Cheri from her chair. She motioned for Cheri to follow. Perhaps the only suitable punishment for feeling curious about Laura's predicament, was to experience it.
The November days were short and the living room was already dark. The bell rang as Gabrielle opened the door. Laura remained in her kneeling strappado, breast bondage and crotch rope still taut and in place. Sweat beaded her body but Laura hadn't managed to budge an inch during all those hours. Her poor nipples resembled tiny cherries. She simply shook in place, her features contorted and hidden beneath her large gag and blindfold.
"Are we 'aving fun, Laura?" Gabrielle asked coyly. Laura just whimpered pitifully, clearly unsure whether Gabrielle was merely here to taunt her, or make things even worse.
