I have little awareness of the passing of time now, but I do know it has been about a year since I was made a sex slave.
My parents reluctantly let me go off to college in Boston. Living the good life retired in Vermont, as an only child my mother was fearful of letting me leave home. But I was restless, adventurous, and 21 years old. All of my friends had left home and gone to college three years ago. I had finally convinced my parents to let me go. I was desperate to escape what I thought was their obsessive power over me, and I wanted to start my life as an adult.
When I arrived in Boston in the fall, I fell in love with the city and the campus. My parents had arranged for me to rent a small second-floor, three-room apartment in an old building a friend of theirs owned. It was musty with noisy plumbing and an ancient gas stove that rarely worked, but I loved it. I was finally on my own.
I made friends on campus quickly and enjoyed going into town with them to the clubs and pubs. I was smart, wealthy and pretty; I realize now it gave me instant access to the better cliques of students on campus. At the time I didn’t care if my money and position bought me popularity; all I knew was I was having fun and had my freedom at last. Little did I know that my freedom would soon be taken from me in a way I could have never conceived.
I can at least remember it was a Thursday evening that I was to meet Brandon and Heather at “The Roxy”, a large popular dance club in the heart of Boston. I didn’t have classes on Friday, so I planned to drink a lot, dance a lot, and hopefully pick up – or get picked up by – a good-looking guy. At home I dated a little – mostly the sons of the wealthy couples my parents knew. They were nice and polite young gentlemen, but only a few tried to score with me. And I was more than willing.
Brandon and Heather, as usual, were late. So I sat at the bar in "The Roxy" and bought myself a few glasses of wine. I usually liked to have a drink in front of me; it seemed to encourage any interested men to buy me another. And that usually led to conversation, dancing, and if I was lucky, a good screw.
I had found since I’d been on my own, a new Me was emerging. She was a free, adventurous, daring, and very sexual young woman. While I was innately a “nice girl”, I did enjoy being a young, attractive, wealthy woman who was finally free to explore the world and try new things.
Sitting in the “The Roxy” on that Thursday night, a man approached me. He was somewhat older than the usual college crowd – maybe 30 or so years old. While he was dressed nicely in jeans and carried a leather jacket over his shoulder, there was something rough looking about him. He wore a large silver chain around his neck. There were a couple of tattoos on his arm. His hair was black and long – slightly greying - and he had a short beard and moustache. A gold hoop earring hung from his right earlobe, just below another piercing where he wore a diamond stud.
“You waiting for Brandon?” he asked.
“Yes. He and Heather are late as usual. Are you a friend of his?” I replied and took another sip of wine. He wasn’t really my type, but I always played it cool and casual around men.
He put a five-dollar bill down on the bar and waved to the bartender to bring another drink for me.
“Yeah – talked to him earlier. He and Heather are going to the “Caprice” instead.”
“Damnit,” I quietly exclaimed; “I’ve been sitting here an hour waiting for them.”
I remember the man smiled – “Hate it when that happens. Let me buy you a drink then I’ll give you a ride over to the “Caprice”.”
I looked up into his dark brown eyes, slightly piercing and mischievous, and nodded.
“Sure, why not? I’m Rachel…”
I now cannot remember much of what happened next. I either drank too much or he drugged me. I know now it was the latter.
The first thing I remember when I woke up was not being able to move. Wherever I was seemed only dimly lit, cool, musty and smelled of incense and scented candles.
As I blinked open my eyes and could focus, I looked up and saw my reflection in a large full –length mirror. I was tied to a bed. It was a king-size bed with old, chipped, brass ladder-back headboard and footboard. My wrists were bound in black leather cuffs and handcuffed to the end rungs on each side of the headboard. My ankles were bound in similar cuffs, secured at each end rung of the footboard. I was still dressed, but there was a black leather collar belted tightly around my neck, with a large silver metal loop dangling from the front of it. In my mouth was a cloth gag – an old bandana – tied around my head.
I struggled weakly at first, still drowsy from the effects of the drug, and tried to yell. It took me a little while to truly realize what had happened, and what was happening to me. I now can’t remember much of what I thought those first few hours of abduction. Mostly, all I think I thought about was how afraid I was, what might happen to me, and how I could escape.
Once I fully awoke and calmed down enough to think rationally, I was able to turn my head to either side enough to look at where I was. It seemed to be a large basement. The only light was a collection of candles on a table next to the bed where I was bound, so the rest of the basement was cast in dim light.
The windows of the basement, placed just below the ceiling and the groundline, had been boarded up so no light could enter the dank cellar.
The man entered the heavy metal door of the basement entrance, locked it securely behind him with a key he then slipped into the pocket of his jeans, and approached the bed.
“Do you know what is happening to you?” he said with a slight smile, his dark eyes running the length of my body.
I wanted to struggle but was too afraid to move.
The man sat down on the edge of the bed next to me.
“Well, you should know a few things, and never forget them. Do as you are told to do and you won’t end up dead in some alleyway for the rats to find. Don’t ever try to escape, because you won’t ever be able to. And I will kill you if you try.”
He smiled now and ran his rough hand up and down my extended arm –“My old lady and me just sold our last slave to a friend, and we wanted a new one. Brandon is an old friend of mine – I sold some coke to him for a while. We saw you with him one night last week in “The Roxy”, and my old lady wanted you. So here you are…”
I whimpered a little bit, trying to fight back tears of fear, and struggled to loosen my arms.
The man laughed –
“Won’t do you any good, little girl. The more you struggle, the tighter the cuffs will get. And don’t fucking cry – I hate it.”
Saying that, he reached over and smacked me across the face. I bit into the gag as the sting of his slap tingled all over my face, and fought even harder to be quiet. I think fear was overwhelming me, but I tried to keep my head and think clearly. I knew it was imperative I stay alert to what was going on in order to survive the situation.
At that moment, I could hear the locks on the basement door rattling, and a tall, slightly large-figured woman entered. She had long dyed red hair, a face covered with severe make-up, and wore black leather pants and a black Harley-Davidson cropped tank top. At that moment I felt instant fear of her, unaware at that moment this woman would eventually become my Keeper, my Lover, my Abuser, my Mistress. And the man sitting next to me I would come to know as my Master and Owner.
The woman stood at the end of the bed and looked down at me with green eyes and a slight smile.
“She’s awake,” the woman said in a deep, smoky voice.
“Yep – told her what was going on,” the man replied.
“Cool,” the woman said with a smile. “Hey girl, I hope like hell you were worth the effort. It ain’t easy getting new slaves. Cops are getting closer, and we gotta move soon.”
I heard the woman’s words, but all I could do was feel my body struggling against the cuffs and against her exploring eyes. It was all starting to sink in, and I was terrified in a way I had never felt before.
“Relax, girl,” the woman said as she approached the other side of the bed and sat down next to me. “I ain’t gonna Use you just yet; you aren’t ready yet.”
I stopped struggling and tried to calm my breathing. As I kept my gaze up into the mirror above me, I saw the woman reach over with both hands and begin to unlace the bustier I was wearing. I instantly closed my eyes, not wanting to see her do this to me, and I felt the sting of her fingernails draw painfully across my cheek.
