I am led by my leash from the auction room to an elevator. We go down several floors and come out on a long hallway, well-decorated, with some kind of Asian artwork on the walls. It feels like we're underground. I realize we must be in a huge mansion. I've never been in a place so fancy. Stupidly, it intimidates me.
As we walk down the hallway, I can feel the eyes of the man who has just purchased me on my naked body. I'm starting to recover and it embarrasses me. My gate becomes awkward as I imagine him looking at my bottom. I'm glad my hair is so long. At least it covers me up a little!
We stop in front of a door, which the attendant opens with a key. He leads me into the most beautiful bedroom I've ever seen and removes my leash. The attendant closes the door and starts speaking to my new owner.
I don't know what to do. My fear is starting to return. I scurry onto the bed and curl up against the headboard, pulling the pillows over me to cover me. I look at the baseboard and see rows of hooks. I then notice the same on the headboard behind me. I get up quickly and curl up in a large overstuffed chair. I bring the pillows with, and cover myself with them again. Pushing the pillows against my nipples is painful. They are extremely tender. I look down and see that they are purple and swollen from the clamps. I adjust the pillows and listen to the conversation.
The attendant is saying to the owner, "As a new customer, sir, I am required to review the rules with you." He continues as if reading from a script, "Breaking of the skin or any other injury resulting in bleeding is not allowed. Breaking of bones, sprains, and dislocations is not allowed. Damage to internal organs is not allowed. Injury resulting in unconsciousness is not allowed. Choking is allowed, but must not result in unconsciousness."
Hearing this, I am relieved, but also frightened, as I'm imagining why there should even need to be such rules.
The attendant pauses, and then says, "Sir, we understand your proclivities based on your original request. I have therefore been instructed to remind you that you will be monitored until your time is up tomorrow morning. If at any time, you break any of these rules, you will be, shall we say, 'interrupted' and removed from the premises. You will not be asked to return."
I am overwhelmed with relief at hearing this. Tomorrow morning! He hasn't purchased me. He's rented me! I only have to get through the next few hours and then I will be away from this man. And we will be monitored. He won't be allowed to REALLY hurt me. I can't help releasing a couple tiny sobs of relief, thankfully muffled by my gag.
Then I realize what the attendant said about the man's 'proclivities'. What did he mean? This man WANTS to really injure a woman, and has admitted to it! I'm frightened all over again.
The attendant continues, "Although you will be monitored, we respect your privacy and there will be no record of your stay with us or your activities here, as you already know. We hope that you are happy with your choice. I'm sure you noticed that we did find several petite redheads matching your description for you to choose from. We are not surprised that you chose this one. She fits your description the closest."
The man who purchased (rented!) me says, "Yes, yes. I made my choice. Now, is she clean?"
The attendant responds, "Of course, sir! Would you care to review the medical records?"
"No, no, that's fine. Stats?"
The attendant says, "32 years old. Five feet even. 111 pounds. Middle-class. College-educated. No drugs. No criminal record. Three partners, the first at age 18, the third one being an ex-husband. Divorced for two years, no partners since the divorce. One-"
The man cuts him off. "That's enough, unless there is something out of the ordinary I should know."
The attendant responds, "Well, sir, the psychological analysis showed some unusual traits. This one is strong-willed, but also unusually sensitive. This one-"
The man barks, "I don't care about that! Anything else?"
The attendant responds, "No, sir. That is all. Shall I remove the gag and refresh her?"
"Yes, then you may go."
The attendant removes my gag. He instructs me to relieve myself, pointing to a small bathroom. He tells me to drink a glass of water, the entire thing. When I'm done, he leaves the room. The man locks the door with a bolt which is at the top of the door, rather than at the side by the doorknob.
(I think, They've tested me! How long have I been here? What have they been doing to me? And what does he mean by my being "sensitive"?)
With the preliminaries over, I realize this is starting now, and I start to tremble in my chair and curl up tighter.
The man turns and walks across the room, telling me, "Lay down on the bed," with hardly a glance. I lay on the bed, bringing my pillows with me. He turns and comes back. He pulls the pillows away from me, leaving me exposed, and throws them across the room into a corner. "Don't move and don't speak", he says.
He walks to a wooden cabinet and opens one of the doors. I see chains and straps, dildos of different sizes, and various other leather and metal things that I don't recognize. This is bondage stuff, I think. I know there are men that like to tie women up. I am almost relieved. Everyone has heard of that. He's just one of those guys that likes to tie women up and have sex with them and have them call him Master. I wonder why he didn't just go on the internet and find someone for free. I kind of think he's a fool for paying good money for me. I'm not hideous, but am not anything special. Surely he could find a "petite redhead" or two online who are willing to be tied up without having to pay anything.
My ex-husband put hand-cuffs on me twice and made me call him My Master, and it wasn't so bad. It was kind of fun, really. Okay, I think to myself, you can handle this. He's going to tie you up, then roughly fuck you and maybe stick dildos in you -- no big deal. It will hurt, but just hang on and it will be over eventually.
He opens the other cabinet door, revealing a large whip and a smaller one with little fringes. There are other things in there, too, that I don't understand, but all are scary-looking. I'm more frightened at seeing this. But I tell myself I can even handle being whipped or hurt with these weird things, too. He's not allowed to break the skin or break bones, so how much could he hurt me?
The man reaches into the cabinet and picks up some black leather gloves. He turns and looks at me, with that intense gaze that frightens and embarrasses me so much. His eyes never leaving my face, he pulls first one, then the other glove onto his hands. Then he smiles.
Something about the gloves and the smile on his face is so frightening that I panic, jump off the bed, and run for the door, making little peeping sounds. I start jumping at the bolt at the top of the door, trying to reach it, but it's too high.
The man crosses the room with a few long strides and, in a single motion, swoops me up with one arm and throws me across the room onto the bed. I land on my back, bouncing, my teeth cracking together. The strength of the man is unbelievable!
