Chapter 17.
"He's gone." Ingrid said, stating the obvious over the quietening sound of the motorbike disappearing into the distance. "Now where were we?" she asked referring to the last time they had been left alone in the same room.
Walking around Tess, she inspected her cuffed hands where she stood topless and helpless in the middle of the campervan. The feeling of power after being entrusted with the key to the lock securing Tess's wrists to the rear of her waist belt, gave her a satisfying and confident sense of responsibility.
Ingrid dragged her fingernails above the indentations surrounding the flesh at the top of Tess's thighs where the turned up hem of her constricting shorts encircled with noticeable tension. Beginning at the crease of Tess's thigh and bum cheek, Ingrid scraped her resin cuffed hands up and over the contours of Tess's enviable curves, hinting that they had unfinished business.
"I'm so jealous of this beauty." Ingrid said, marvelling at the shape of Tess's behind. "I want it."
"Well I'm afraid you can't have it." Tess contested, "Not after seeing how much we pissed Ally off last time he caught us." She twisted her shoulders and rattled the metal surrounding her wrists. "I know that our last moment of madness is getting you sent home, but look where it's got me."
Holding the single key to the padlock she'd been given for emergencies only, Ingrid walked around to the front of Tess and withdrew it from her pocket, with the intention of tempting her into an alternative of being locked in such a restrictive stance. "Maybe this will change your mind." Ingrid said, holding it up in front of her.
Although her mouth never opened, Tess's jaw still relaxed into a drop at the sight of the glinting silver pendant before her eyes, homing in on it like a hunter as it began to lower down between her legs.
"I've seen camels whose feet boast less than this." Ingrid joked, using the sharp triangular tip of the key to gently press against the distinguishable bulging mounds of Tess's tightly denim segmented crotch. Ingrid found pleasure in maximising the effect of tracing the pointed key up and down, creating tiny vibrations due to the texture of the cloth, which tingled as it tickled over both sensitive lips in turn.
"So what's it to be?" Ingrid asked, "Standing there with your chest open for abuse and your shoulders aching all day or would you like to sell your soul to the devil in front of you for the price of pleasure?"
Ingrid stopped teasing her with the key and placed it back in her pocket.
Taking hold of the front of Tess's waist belt, she initiated their intimacy by pulling Tess towards her.
"Un-cuff me then." Tess requested, inadvertently agreeing to Ingrid's demands.
"You'd like that wouldn't you?" Ingrid whispered, locking her gaze and moving her lips towards the girl in no position to haggle. "But it's my idea, so I get to go first."
Tess consented to a brief mushy kiss on the lips, turning her head away before Ingrid's tongue had chance to invade her mouth.
"I'll behave." Tess said, still requesting release but loosing hope after watching Ingrid abandon the key by pooling her skimpy shorts, together with her underwear onto the floor and stepping out of them in less than a second.
Using Tess's metal waist belt Ingrid guided her over to the 'L' shaped sofa and sat her in the corner. "I'm sure you will." She replied sitting and shimmying herself up the cushions away from Tess.
The smell of Ingrid's odorous scent did nothing to turn Tess on but she knew what would be required to satisfy her key-holder, and the sooner she got on with it, the quicker she could earn her freedom for the day.
She watched Ingrid's finger warming herself up between the inside of her own legs, hoping that she'd be doing most of the work for herself. Her wishes were soon destroyed by Ingrid's words, "I'm sure I'm going to taste much better than that horrible gloopy, salty cum of Ally's."
Tess leaned forward onto the sofa, landing purposefully between Ingrid's thighs, craning her neck up to position herself correctly.
With Ingrid's fingers holding her own lips apart, Tess held her breath and began flicking her tongue at Ingrid's visibly swollen target.
The deed took longer than expected but eventually the satisfaction of Ingrid's crying out, gave Tess the cue to relax her neck muscles and take a breather.
Tess soon rolled onto her side and lifted her upper body into a sitting position.
Ingrid stood, after her orgasm and reached for a tissue. "God I needed that." She complimented Tess.
"My pleasure." Tess lied, trying not to swallow anything lingering in her mouth. "Your turn partner."
Ingrid reached for her shorts on the floor and searched for the single key, "My pleasure too." She replied.
The sight of the shiny key relaxed Tess and made the taste in her mouth, all worthwhile. She twisted her body around so that her back allowed Ingrid easy access, wanting nothing to hinder her from unlocking the padlock of most inconvenience.
"You definitely earned this." Ingrid said, sliding the key in and out of the lock, twisting and pulling at the same time. "Ally gave me this just before he left and told me that I am to only use it in an emergency."
"We can make up an emergency." Tess joked, "Or we'll just put it back when we hear his bike coming."
"Yea. Course we can." Ingrid replied. "But I'm struggling here."
"How do you mean?" Tess asked, feeling every failed attempt that Ingrid had tried so far with the key, through the rigidity of her restraints.
"I mean I can't get it to turn."
"You must be able to. Are you sure you're using the right key?" Tess asked with concern.
"He only gave me this one." Ingrid replied.
"Keep trying." Tess said, looking over her shoulder.
"I am. But it's not working." Ingrid reluctantly announced.
"How do you know he gave you the right key?" Tess asked succumbing to Ally's potential of trickery.
"Well I don't." she replied, "Do you think he'd do that on purpose?
"YES!" Tess sighed loudly. "One hundred percent. Yes."
"Oh shit." Ingrid conceded.
"Give it to me, let me try." Tess asked.
Holding the key, she manipulated it around to face the right direction towards the lock but with her wrists cuffed so closely together, she struggled to insert it inside. Ingrid guided her to begin with so that Tess could push the key home and attempt twisting it with her knuckles once in place.
"The bastard?" Ingrid said.
"FUCK IT!" Tess cursed.
"Shit. I'm sorry." Ingrid replied, feeling slightly guilty about not being able to deliver her side of the bargain after being pleasured by Tess.
"No. Not your fault." Tess sighed, admitting defeat once again at the will of Ally. "It doesn't matter. Just find me something to get your taste out of my mouth will you?"
Ingrid could have responded in many a way, but instead she took pity on Tess and reached for an orange from the food basket Ally had made up for them.
"This ought to do it." She said, tearing out a piece from beneath the peel and feeding it to her like a mother to her baby. "I owe you one."
Ally raced his motorbike back to the Blockhouse to arrive before the contractors. He needed time to cut the six-foot chain from the collar so that he could present it, with the removed three-foot long chain from the waist belt, to the men building the walls of the dugout underground extension.
Having plenty of time to spare, the first gang of men eventually arrived and drove their builders van straight inside the fortifications of the high walls as they had on the previous day.
Seeing no signs yet of the project manager Don, Ally introduced himself and described with the aid of a picture from his phone, how he would like a couple of chains to be incorporated in and amongst the walls at particular heights. He explained the obvious, as per the picture, that he would be storing a few gas bottles down in this area and these were the stipulations of building regulations regarding the stowage of pressurised canisters.
To Ally's relief, the man agreed in Arabic that pressurised gas bottles must be chained to a secure structure, meaning that his actual intended purpose of imprisoning Tess in the chains could go ahead without raising suspicion from any of the builders.
One of the workers stepped down into the dugout pit and began arranging the first line of blocks along the width of the back wall opposite the steps, whilst Ally retrieved the six-foot chain he'd earlier removed from the unused neck collar.
The two men discussed how Ally wanted this chain locating in place behind the wall with both ends cemented through the bricks at a particular distance. He asked for about four feet apart, leaving two chains, roughly six inches long, hanging down through the thickness of the wall, depending on where the gaps in the brickwork happened to be.
The bricklayer accepted his request without question and lay the chain temporarily in position so that Ally could finalise the agreement.
"Any trouble, get Don to ring me." He told the men as he climbed the new stone steps to hurry into town.
Having escaped questioning about the placement of the chains, Ally quickly picked up a back pack and rode into the city to buy the required tools to free Ingrid from the resin moulded cuffs he'd applied, in a panic, around her wrists, a few days earlier. He didn't really want to get the third degree from Don about how the chains needed to be in any other position, so riding his bike, gave him a good enough excuse to not answer his phone until the lower part of the wall had been built.
His thinking paid off. When he arrived in the city, he found two missed calls and a couple of messages, implying exactly what Ally had wanted to avoid. He replied with words to the effect of 'Can't talk now, just stick to the brief I gave your man this morning, thanks, Ally.'
He shopped around in a hardware store for a battery powered hand held disk cutter, with different attachments suitable to cut through stone or metal to remove the resin cuffs from Ingrid's wrists. Satisfied, he asked the shop assistant if he would check that the battery had a full charge, whilst he disappeared quickly to collect an order. This cover story would allow him time to visit the controversial 'Private Store' to find a little something to help with Tess's masturbation temptations.
