Valerie was fastened tightly. She was lying on her back on a soft bed. Her arms were spread wide, fastened overhead to the bed frame. Likewise her legs were spread wide open. Her ankles were fastened tightly to the foot of the bed.
She had a big, fuzzy black blindfold that thoroughly covered her upper face. It blocked off every bit of light.
Other than the cuffs on her wrists and her ankles, and her blindfold, she was totally naked and exposed.
The bed had no pillow for her head. If she relaxed her head it rested on the bed, leaving her throat area exposed as much as the rest of her body was.
"The restraints are supposed to be tight and snug," the auctioneer told her with a soft voice. "But they're not supposed to cause you pain," he added. "Are they causing pain for you sweetheart?" he asked.
She shook her head.
"They're supposed to be nicely tight and secure," he said again. "Do you think you could wiggle out if you really tried hard?"
She squirmed and tugged at the cuffs on her wrists and ankles. They were well designed and put on tight. She could feel at once that she had no hope of slipping free. She shook her head.
"That's good," the auctioneer said. "It's cute when you wiggle. We don't want a pretty little piece of ass like you to wiggle free and wander off. We want you to keep you right here, nice and secure, until the auction is over, don't we?"
She gave a weak nod, showing she had mixed feelings swirling through her mind.
"It's a big, special day for you," the auctioneer said. "Every slave girl remembers when she was sold off to be a piece of property." He paused to let the words sink in. "Years from now you might look back on this day and you may have clear, vivid memories of the day you were sold."
She nodded a little.
"Look at you," he said in a nice way. "You look very sweet and cute and adorable today, being all bare and helpless like that. I think we'll have a good crowd of customers for the auction today. I think the buyers will enjoy looking you over," he said. "Every man is going to enjoy the view and feel affection. Probably some of the women too."
"Let me tell you what's happening next so you know what to expect and nothing will be a surprise for you," he said.
"First, I got you set up early so you can have some time to yourself. I want you to catch your breath, and collect your thoughts. Also I want you to think about ways to get the most for yourself when we have the auction."
She nodded.
"Being sold off as a slave girl can bring up really strong emotions and I want you to take the time to stay calm and get focused."
She nodded.
"So I'm going to give you about 10-30 minutes to just relax here. Think good thoughts. Remember that there are very good reasons why you're restrained this way. Here at the Smith Auction House we know what we're doing. Enjoy the feelings of the restraints if you can," he said. "Some women really love to be tied up or cuffed or restrained. Other women have some mixed feelings I suppose. If you can enjoy the restraints and make friends with them that's great. Even if it all feels awkward or funny remember the restrains are serving a really good purpose. They'll help me get the highest price when we sell you off. I know you want good bids. So you can feel good about that."
She nodded a little.
"After I give you some rest time then we'll let the bidders come in," he said. "They're going to look you over very closely, from head to toe and, ha ha, everything in between. They want to see exactly what they're bidding on."
"While you're on display I want you to think about how to get a great rapport with the bidders and make a good impression on them," he said. "You're not allowed to talk, of course. But you can build rapport and build a connection in other ways. Are you listening closely?" he asked.
She made a nod.
"Good," he said. "The buyers don't want to think that you're unhappy with your role," he said.
"They don't want to see you tugging on your cuffs as if you're grumpy or frustrated or you're trying to be free."
"On the other hand," he said. "They love to see a slave girl who is kind of lively and has good energy." He paused. "So you can squirm a little bit once in a while in a fun way." He paused. "You can tug on the restraints in a cute and playful way, as if you're flirting with the audience, and like want everyone to see you're having a great time." He let his words sink in. "I think every young woman has good instincts about how to flirt with her body, catch the eye of onlookers, and make a good impression when she wants to. Do you know what I mean?"
She nodded. She squirmed at bit in the restraints.
"And remember," he said, "a few of the onlookers and bidders will be women. Maybe that makes a difference to you," he said. "When you wiggle and squirm and flirt with the crowd to build up some rapport maybe you'll do that a little differently than you would for an all-male audience. Knowing there are some women in the audience might be a fun experience for you, or at least it'll be different than if it the group was all men."
She nodded.
"Good," he said. "I know you'll do well," he said. "You look very sweet right now. I know the bidders will be pleased."
"After the bidders get enough time to look you over then well have the actual auction. We'll sell off that cute body to the highest bidder," he said. "I know that's exciting for you. It'll mean you start a new chapter in life as a slave girl, *totally* owned by your master or mistress."
"I expect we'll have a variety of bidders," he said. "There's no telling who might buy you."
He touched his fingertips on her bare belly. The surprise touch made her gasp and shiver and squirm. It made her feel extra helpless, with no option to turn away or block his touch. The auctioneer noticed how sensitive she was. It made him smile. He didn't take his hand away. He used his fingertips to trace some gentle circles on her skin. Quickly she was quivering and breathing hard.
"Maybe it's fun for you to think about," still touching her gently. "Maybe some wealthy gentleman might buy you, so you'll be a pet or a sex toy." He paused and caressed her a little more.
"Maybe the buyer will be a woman, seeking her own sex toy to keep her amused," he said.
Valerie tensed up. She had always known the buyer might possibly be female. But now that her auction was getting close the possibility seemed so much more real. On top of all the other strong emotions she was feeling the idea of a female buyer raised new and strong mixed emotions for her. She thought about being owned by a woman and required to put out for her. She didn't know if the idea was frightening and horrible, or if it was kind of funny and darkly sexy.
"Maybe a brothel will want you," he continued. "Then you'll be a busy young lady, entertaining a lots of customers -- if you know what I mean."
The thought made her squirm.
After a bit he said, "Maybe the salt mines will buy you." He paused. "They need workers. That'll be very hard work all day. The mines are very hot and slave girls don't get any clothes. You and the other slave girls will be glistening and dripping in sweat. There will be a few short breaks during the day. That's when the male supervisors might want to use you for their own pleasures. Ha ha. So you'll get plenty of male action. At night the bare girls are all locked up in a pen. The slave girls can spend time getting to know each other and having some fun among yourselves. So that's something to think about," he said.
He kept caressing her gently, moving his hand a bit lower down her abdomen. She kept breathing harder, trying hard to handle her swirling strong emotions and the increasing arousal of her body from his touch.
"Whatever happens I think you're going to have a lively life as a slave girl," he said softly.
She gave a little nod.
"Well look," he said, "I promised you some time alone for a while. I want you to collect your thoughts and emotions as much as you can. I know there must be a lot on your mind. Think good thoughts. Enjoy the quiet time. Then you can look forward to the inspection period. Then we'll have a good auction for your cute tits and ass and every other part of you. Can you do that for me?"
She nodded.
"And remember what I said about making a good impression on the bidders," he said.
She nodded.
He took his hand away. That made her gasp and moan a little bit from the loss of the sensation. She squirmed some more in her cuffs.
