NOTE: This is part of a multi-chapter story of which there are forty chapters plus an epilogue. An uncompleted version of this story appeared here at Literotica a few years ago in case it looks familiar to you. The story has been revised and completed. Chapters 37 - 40 and the epilogue are all new material.
"Well, you pegged it, almost an hour," said George admiringly. "That was 54 minutes by my calculation."
"Let's give it another couple of minutes on close ups," said Deirdre, "before we move on to round two. Make sure there are a lot of tight macro shots of all the important places. That will keep our discerning audience occupied for a while."
"Tom. What do the numbers look like, so far?" asked Deirdre.
"By the time we were 15 minutes in we had doubled the number of online buys that we had on pre-order and they're still going up. I've never seen numbers like these. I had to add extra bandwidth to handle the demand," said Tom excitedly.
"Imagine what the residual sales are going to be on the DVDs," said Kieran staring at the monitors intently as he switched the feed from camera to camera.
"We already have people ordering the downloadable version for tomorrow; a lot of them are the same people watching it now. This is something," said Tom enthusiastically.
"We need to seriously think about getting the new line of Jana products into production as soon as possible while this is still hot stuff and fresh on everyone's mind," said Deirdre calculatingly. "I can see Jana body paint and glitter, not to mention blow up dolls, for our more socially awkward demographic. And all the little boys watching are going to want a new glow in the dark red cock to stroke their honeys with. Of course, they're going to have to be much larger than anything we currently market."
"Pity their poor wives," said Kieran looking up from the console in front of the monitors momentarily and snickering, "we'd better include a tube of lubricant with every one of them."
"It's a pity we don't get a kick back from all the gynecologists," said Tom with a laugh. "They are going to be busy the next six months fixing lots of aching pussies."
"Fortunately, the product team is already working on it and procurement is ramping up and busy scheduling production time in Asia," said Richard in a business-like sort of way. "Let's not get ahead of ourselves people, let's focus on the job at hand."
"Richard is right," said Deirdre seriously. "We still have about 22 hours to go."
"Are you sure about putting the photo of Jana and her sons in the box?" asked Richard as he leaned over and whispered into Deirdre's ear. "She looks like putty to me right now. I really don't think it will be necessary. It would be overkill at this point...and it could be our ace in the hole down the line, if we need to control her."
"You mean aces," said Deirdre cynically as she looked up to Richard from the edge of the console. "You're not going soft on me, are you?"
"Absolutely not," replied Richard adamantly. "I hate that sonofabitch she is married to as much as you. I told you I wouldn't rest until we destroyed the bastard. Right now, I'm just being practical. She's not just a pawn anymore, she's a valuable asset."
"OK. Yes then, I agree with you, looking at her now, you're probably right," concluded Deirdre. "I agree, we don't need to worry anymore. We'll save the photos and DVD for later if we need them."
Deirdre reached for a pen and tore off a piece of white note paper from the pad in front of her. She quickly scribbled a note and handed it to Richard. "Give this to one of the floor team and have them substitute it in the box. But make sure they give you the photo back. We don't want that falling into the wrong hands accidentally."

Jana continued to hang from her tether, motionless except for her shallow breathing. The horned red-eyed demons started to emerge from the darkness again as the bottom of the tent began to fill with a fog-like mist that clung to the floor. The scaly demons made their way to the arch slowly and as they mounted it; they began to unwind the serpents from Jana's limp body.
As some of the demons returned the snakes to their baskets and covered them again, other demons, wielding long primitive looking daggers, cut Jana from her tether, wrapping the leather straps around their hands and carrying her from the arch and down the steps, continuing to hold her spread eagled.
As they carried her in the direction of the altar, they stopped about halfway on the mist shrouded path, where they were joined by the rest of the demons. The fire bowls had disappeared and slowly the fluorescent lights began to be replaced by a mixture of deep red and golden lights that reflected off the low mist.
They were really standing over a shallow tub of ice-cold water, hidden from the cameras by the enveloping mist. As Jana continued to be held spread eagle by the leather straps the demons began to pour the frigid water over her face and body, slowly washing away the paint and body glitter and revealing her luscious bronze skin. As they continued to rub their hands over her entire body, Jana's bronzed flesh glistened in the alternating red and golden light.
Some of the men had soaped their hands in advance and were stealthily washing the sticky honey from Jane's breasts, ass and pussy and douching her holes out with the dark colored sponges they had concealed in their massive hands.
