Carmen's nose itched. Again.
You'd think after the hundreds of times she'd found herself bound up, her body would have learned to not instinctively develop that familiar itch. But, there it was again. Like a bad habit that she couldn't kick. Carmen could practically tell the time by the coming and going of that itch. It was the tenth time the itch had cropped up, so she'd been locked in the trunk for about four hours now. Not bad. Another hour and she'd match her record time. Since she entered the trunk late in the night, that meant that it had to be early morning by now.
The car jostled again, and Carmen's entire perception of things shook with it. What, were they travelling on a dirt road or something? For what must have been twenty minutes now the car would jostle and shake as it traversed whatever uneven terrain it was made to transport the small travel trunk that Carmen was contained within. She was familiar with the trunk. Her Master loved to watch her climb into and out of the confined space. It was one of his favorite punishments for when his naughty little girl misbehaved. It was one of the few punishments that actually felt like a punishment.
The box was usually fun for the first half hour or so, but eventually it just became boring. Nothing to see, nothing to hear. At this point, she was actually glad for each little jostle and bump. They gave her something to think about, at least. The itch on her nose began to fade again, replaced by an aching in her hips. She was coming up on her limit, and this time Master wasn't around with the timer handy. He'd be upset if they damaged her, though. Carmen was confident that her time in the box was nearly complete.
That confidence became even more pronounced with the jostling movement stopped. The sensation, along with the sound of the car's boot popping open, confirmed that she had arrived at her destination. Her trunk was lifted again. It was always such a strange sensation to be carried like that. It felt like falling in a way. The falling sensation stopped, as most falling sensations tended to, with a sudden jolt. She'd been set down. Then there was another loud crash from somewhere. Behind her? Her nose itched again, for the eleventh time. Two more and it would be the most time she'd spent in the trunk.
The cramps were going to be horrific this time.
Carmen had no idea where she was. She had been on vacation with her Master in Monaco when he had surprised her with trunk time. All she knew was that Master was not coming with her, and that she would be away for some time. Carmen knew that she should be more wary of such things. This is how girls like her get trafficked, after all. But she trusted Master. He had been very kind and good to her for over two years now. It would be out of character for him to just dispose of her. Wherever she was, it was for her own good. And even if it wasn't, she was certain she'd be able to have some fun with it either way.
Her nose itched one more time before the lock released and the lid to her mobile home swung upward. Carmen closed her eyes instinctively, but soon realized that there was no point. Wherever she was, it was almost as dark as the trunk itself had been. She unhinged herself slowly, the aches coming on with every little movement. She narrowly avoided a heinous charley horse in her left leg as she crawled out of the box. Standing up was another small feat, requiring multiple minutes. Of course, her nose no longer itched now that her hands were free.
Carmen took her time in limbering up again. As she did, she took in her surroundings. The room was cool, but not quite chill, against her naked flesh. A welcome change of pace from the stuffy confines of the trunk. She was in a narrow hallway, easily able to touch both of the stone walls at the same time. The ground beneath her bare feet was hard and cool, porous like a city sidewalk. As she stretched, she noticed the bare lightbulbs hanging from the ceiling in their little metal cages. A grin spread across her face. "How long until I am in a little metal cage of my own, I wonder." That thought did what the cool air could not and brought on a little shiver of anticipation.
Behind her was a large metal door sans a handle. In front, mostly darkness, with a small shaft of light gleaming from what appeared to be a window to the left side of the hall.
Carmen ignored the door. It was no doubt the way she came from and the lack of a handle told her all she needed to know about it. Instead, she padded down the hall, the cool basement air gliding around her clammy, nude skin as she did. The window looked like a valuable place to learn something new.
What she learned when she got there delighted her. "Oh, darling. Your skin is magnificent!" The latex-clad doll on the other side said nothing; Carmen suspected that she was well-gagged anyway. The faceless latex creature gleamed a radiant white against the gloom of the basement, and Carmen couldn't suppress the twinge of arousal that the sight of her elicited.
Carmen had only been wrapped in such latex once, and it had been electric. Literally. The client for the show had her set up on display to show off his new electrostimulation products. It had been a long, strenuous, exciting day. By the time they got back to his hotel room, Carmen had been almost too tired to fuck him senseless. Almost. She hoped to be able to try it again.
The latex doll said nothing as she handed Carmen a strip of black leather set with an intricate red inlay as well as two bits of metal on the ends and a ring at the center. It then pantomimed wrapping the leather around its neck.
"I know how to put on a collar," Carmen scoffed as she looped the supple thing around her neck. The fit was snug, but not tight. Perfect. "Hey thi-achk!" Carmen had wanted to compliment the workmanship of the accessory, but her words of praise were choked out of her as the collar's surface reacted with a jolt to her throat. Surprise quickly turned again to arousal. This place was going to be fun.
The drone then passed across a longer piece of the same leather. Carmen didn't even wait for it to act out what to do before she wrapped it around her waist, marvelling again at the fit. The connectors also fascinated her. There was no buckle or loop. Just two small studs on either end that clicked together effortlessly and refused to let go once they had.
Four smaller strips of the leather were then deposited on the sill of the window, which Carmen wasted no time in wrapping around ankles and wrists. The drone then motioned for her to place her hands at her waist, cuffs to belt. When she did, Carmen was pleased to notice the cuffs unwillingness to be removed from that very spot, leaving her largely helpless.
"Mar-aagh!" The second shock didn't catch her as off-guard as the first, but it still had the intended effect of keeping her from finishing her thought. Immediately after she was zapped, the door before Carmen slid to the side with a powerful screech as unlubricated metals scraped angrily against each other. The door opened into a much cooler, much larger room. The space was about as well-lit as the hallway, and just as empty.
There was a tingle at the back of Carmen's neck. The collar wanted her to move forward. She opted, instead, to see how far she could push it. She was likely not going to get her morning workout at this rate. Maybe fighting against the collar would get her heartrate up a little. The tingle grew from a soft tickle to a consistent prickling. What surprised her was that the belt joined in a few seconds later, as did both her ankle and wrist cuffs. A few seconds more, and the pain was rising to a place of real discomfort. Carmen could feel herself tensing against the sensation as it continued to build.
Finally, she relented and stepped forward into the empty room. As she did, the door screamed closed again, the sound uncannily harsh in this more cavernous space. The room was bare and empty and dry. The comfortably cool air from the hallway was replaced by a certain chill. Like an empty movie theater.
This place was at least as boring as the trunk. Gray walls were scarcely better scenery than nothing at all. After the typical twenty or so minutes, her nose began to itch. There was one advantage that this place had over the other. She had a way to scratch her nose here. She walked confidently toward the wall, only growing slightly less sure of herself as her attachments began to tingle the closer she came. With only a few centimeters between the wall and her face, she had to break away and return to the center. So close, yet so far.
Next she tried crouching down to use the floor as a means to sate her irritation. But the collar grew annoyed with that even more quickly and fiercely than it had with the wall. She was barely able to dip into the beginnings of a squat before the collar insisted that she watch her posture.
