Dinner was an affair fraught with tension. There was so much conflict just below the surface that I felt as if I was in an ocean infested with sharks. Kanan and Neleema were obviously at odds with each other over Sayali and probably myself, if I could be so bold. Sayali seemed to be almost a common enemy when I considered her damaged relationship with her mother and former lecturer, not to mention Harsha, and to a degree myself as well. There was a degree of enmity between Kanan and Harsha and between the two teens as well.
There was a part of me that reveled in this conflict, since I stood to gain considerably if I could retain my vision of things and keep pressing towards my solution to this problem. If I could arrange an accommodation of sorts between Neleema and her wayward daughter, there was a place for me in that group. Neleema and I could probably restore our former relationship that was a most enjoyable one in a physical sense. In this alignment there was the chance that Sayali could eventually fall into my hands like ripe fruit from a low hanging bough.
A settlement between Sayali and Neleema would leave Kanan to my tender mercies if I exerted myself. There was something strong between us and it might be more than physical, but frankly I did not want to think beyond bending this dark skinned creature to my own selfish desires. Of all the possible futures that one seemed to be the most probable. I had to exert some internal discipline to prevent my thoughts from going from the general to the very particular. It took an effort of the will to erase the picture of Kanan, stark naked hanging by her wrists, her body welted from the whipping I was giving her for her temerity to oppose my will.
Sleeping arrangements was another challenge; letting Sayali join her mother, while Kanan and Harsha shared the other bedroom made sense. That would leave me sleeping alone, which was probably best under the circumstances. I made my suggestion and Neleema agreed, provided her daughter was suitably restrained so she would not be tempted to take her leave while we slept. Harsha did not look as if she was looking forward to spending the night under her professor's care, but it was my guess that Kanan would be saving her energy for the morrow when things would get very serious.
As for myself, I was looking forward to a respite from the temptations of the flesh. Under normal circumstances I would have been delighted to bed down with any of these women, and that included Harsha who had a body that attracted me physically. There were those fresh upturned breasts, deliciously rounded bottoms and all those curves and hollows to consider when it came to a choice of a proper bedmate for an evening's dalliance. Alas, it was the curse of men that we were often governed by our groins and not our brains.
Preparing their charges for bed proved to be most entertaining. Neither Neleema nor Kanan were willing to share their beds. Kanan bound Harsha hand and foot after making her strip down to only her panties. She warned her in my presence that any noise from her would result in those panties being transferred into her mouth. I innocently inquired as to what would cause the girl to cry out during the night. This question obviously created some tension in both of them. I secretly was enjoying their discomfort, amusing myself by imagining Kanan joining Harsha on the floor so the girl could lick and kiss her hairy cunt until Kanan's cum coated her face. Then again it might be required of Harsha to insinuate her knowing tongue between her teacher's cheeks and worship that puckered starfish until Kanan became so excited that she had to use her charge's face like a cunt rag as she climaxed.
Neleem was more severe with her daughter. Sayali was made to strip naked and then Neleema bound her tightly to the rattan chair located a few paces from her bed. She proved to be quite adept at using the ropes to place her daughter into a very stressful position, her back forced to arch painfully and her legs wide spread, bent up under the chair and her ankles anchored to her tightly tied wrists. She then stuffed a pair of her soiled panties into the girl's mouth and completed her bondage by cinching a short length of rope across her stuffed mouth to hold the rag in place. To check on the integrity of the girl's bonds, she cruelly pinched one of her melon shaped breasts and twisted the flesh to create considerable pain for Sayali. The sounds that issued from her gagged mouth were muffled significantly, and a smile lit up her mother's face.
"Perhaps I should take the strap to those big breasts of hers before I turn in for the night. I'll bet you'd stay around to enjoy the sight of those beauties bouncing and dancing to the tune from my belt." I refused to take the bait, which disappointed her. She took another tack, this time insinuating that the reason I had chosen to sleep in the parlor was so that Kanan and I could have an opportunity to enjoy each other's bodies while she had to keep one eye on her disobedient, lesbian daughter. I decided to not respond, and plant the seeds of insecurity in her mind. I observed that like herself, Kanan had left room in her bed for a companion, leaving open who that person might be. I could see that my barb had found some flesh.
