Chapter 5: Anne Re-Pays her Debt
It was almost two months later when I got a phone call from Anne; she had been sunning herself at an exclusive resort. She was sorry she had not spoken to me earlier. I was magnanimous, I understood. Anne needed me and she would not say what for. I suspected that she was setting up a belated congratulations and thank you party for me.
I agreed that I could take a few days off and be at her house that Friday evening. I asked how long I would need off. 'Oh a few days,' was all Anne would say. I took a week off packed a small case of clothes and reported for the mysterious few days.
Anne looked terrific. Her tan was glowing. Bill was nowhere to be seen. Anne had a sumptuous meal already cooked with some very fine wine. I was cautious, but with just the two of us at the table I had rather more wine that I normally consumed. Anne was very animated. We laughed rather a lot. Anne liked what the chief magistrate had done to the senior partner and loved what he had done to the Inspector. A false arrest compensation claim was being assessed and she would get quite a kick out of rubbing his nose in it. I advised not doing that and to keep it out of the papers. Anne agreed, "But I really would like to nail him!"
I was quite tipsy and suddenly quite tired. Anne told me to go to bed as we had quite a way to go next morning. She would not tell me more and gave me a very warm kiss as she saw me to my bedroom. I was rather taken aback by this and put it down to the effects of the wine. "I will call you at six thirty we need to be on the road before eight." I waved and quickly shut my bedroom door.
I was soon being woken by Anne in a see-through negligee. "Did you sleep well? Dress casual it's a long drive." I mumbled, "good morning," to her back as she disappeared out the door, "Breakfast in ten minutes." said her retreating voice. I was soon showered dressed. Anne had a scrumptious breakfast of strawberries, cream and champagne for me just strawberries and cream for her as she was driving. "I have had enough of Mr. Plod to last me a life time!" She joked.
We were soon on the road going into the Blue Mountains. We were not far from The Three Sisters when Anne stopped chatting and went all serious on me. "Joyce-Lynne you do trust me don't you?"
I said, "of course," but wondered if she saw my fingers were crossed.
"Well the thing is you cannot know exactly where we are going, so I am going to ask for you to agree to be blindfolded and restrained in the back seat for the rest of the journey!" She pulled into an off-road viewing car park; there were only two cars there and no people in view.
I was shocked and getting very angry. Anne saw by my reaction that I was not well pleased. "Joyce-Lynne if you won't do this then I will turn round and take you back home. I cannot tell you another thing about where we are going. Please it's not far now, but you must be blindfold and with handcuffs on and in the back seat. Please Trust Me!" I got out of the car. My face was burning I was trembling with rage, but then realized that that rage was tempered with a fission of excitement. Anne's reputation as a dungeon Mistress and the weeks I had spent in her company had made the days after the case closed somehow flat. I pulled the back door of the car open glared at her as she stood across the car from me.
A radiant mile crossed her lovely face. "I promise, you will never regret this." She fished out a large bag from the back seat and came round the car. She handed me a black velvet ribbon. "You can put that on, not to tight, but please do not cheat."
I wrapped the cloth round my eyes it went round twice with enough left to tie into a bow. Anne produced a pair of fur lined bondage handcuffs. She took a wrist and snapped it on; she then spun me around and snapped the cuff on the other wrist.
"Now let me re-do that blind fold." She laughed. "I knew you would cheat, I did exactly the same the first time I came here!"
I made a face at her and shrugged. "Well I could only look down!" I said.
Soon the blindfold was on properly then I felt a bag of some sort being put over my head. I was helped into the back seat and I felt a cord of some sort pull my wrists down towards the floor. "You had better lie across the seat Joyce-Lynne." I did as I was told. Anne got back in the car and started off and turned the audio up quite loud. I called her a few names. She ignored me. I was quite hot in the back seat; then I felt a cold blast of air, Anne had turned the air-conditioning on full blast.
It was at least 30 minutes before the car a last came to a halt. I was quite sure we had made quite a few turns and double backs. Could not even guess where we were.
"You cannot have the restraints or blindfold off until we are all the way inside. I will guide you." Anne took my hand and I felt the cord being released. Anne helped me up and out the car. "Just a few steps scrunching along a gravel surface, then up some wide steps," said Anne. I held on tight and she called out the start of the steps. "Up five wide stone steps, just a few more steps through here; now down a double flight of stairs." Her voice now had a slight echo it was a large entrance hall. Anne guided me and after a few turns into a cool passageway then a step over a door threshold. "Now down." Anne said. Her voice had a definite echo now and the air smelt a little damp and cool. I heard a heavy door shut in the distance. 'The front door,' I guessed. We were half way down the flight of stairs Anne in front guiding me when I heard another door close behind me. This was definitely a descent into a private dungeon. Anne was delivering me into some sort of situation where kinky sex, even painful sex was bound to be involved.
I hissed, "You Bitch where are you taking me, what are you doing?"
Anne said, "Hush this is all very secret; do not give us away. It's a surprise for someone else, not for you!"
I sucked in a large breath and followed meekly. We reached the bottom of the stairs and went a few steps along a passage that echoed to my footsteps. Anne said. "Shit," and I tried to tiptoe. I played along intrigued now. Through another doorway and a heavy door shut behind me then another much closer and there was the sound of a heavy lock being turned.
"Ok, we are here. I can let you loose now and explain."
Anne released my wrists and took the bag of my head. I released the velvet blindfold. "Ok Anne you better explain and it had better be good, very, very, very good!" I looked around me. I was indeed in a dungeon, cum wine cellar. There were several doors and alcoves leading off a central room there was no hint as to which door we had entered from. There were only two bare light globes in the high ceiling. It was cool, but not cold. There was a large rack of dusty wine bottles along one wall.
Anne said with a laugh. "You remember that phone call about the arrest warrant?"
I said, "Yes of course." "Well I am paying back that debt with interest. You are the interest!"
I thought about this for a while. "This is a person of influence who you have known professionally for some time. It's probably a Judge. He is into whips or bondage of some sort and you are going to give me to him as the interest on what you owe him!"
I tried to sound angry, really pissed off, but inside I was wetting myself in anticipation. I had a good idea who Anne's mystery man was.
Anne sighed, "You are very clever Joyce-Lynne please don't try to guess, please trust me we will have a wonderful time here. I know you very well and promise you a very rewarding experience in more ways than one."
I growled at her. "You are going to OWE me big time for this."
"I will won't I and I have a brilliant way to re-pay you, but more about that later. We have to get ready now, through here." She went and unlocked a large heavy door, opened it and led the way. I slowly followed. "Shut the door please." I shut it. "We can get changed through here. Another small door led off the strange room we were in and there was an impressive wooden door with a large brass door handle and a brass Knocker. It reminded me of a receptionists' area of a university or posh school. I realized that it did look like the Head Mistresses office suite at my old school.
The room Anne led me to was just a changing room, a few benches, a toilet and shower recess. A row of steel lockers with school uniforms hanging up. "Lets shower," said Anne shrugging off her blouse and slacks. She turned the water on then removed her scanty underwear and was soon soaping herself. "Come on Joyce-Lynne, we don't have a lot of time perhaps an hour maybe less. I will tell you more as we get dressed. I can fill in all the blanks, as soon as we get ready. Try not to get your hair wet!"
I took my clothes off while, Anne showered. She took a large white towel from a pile in a cupboard beside the lockers and began to dry herself while I had a quick shower.
Anne said, "We had better go to the loo now, it may be a while before we get to go again." She laughed as she pulled the stall door shut. I dried myself off and began putting my clothes back on. I heard the loo flush and Anne came back. "No Joyce-Lynne I am wearing this school uniform and there is a special outfit for you. Go use the loo." She gave me a gentle shove towards the toilet. "Remember it may be quite a time before we get to go again."
Anne let the towel she had wrapped round her drop and took a very formal high school uniform out of a locker. I looked at her then back at the tunic I recognized that uniform.
