Two hours later, and Millard was a changed man. John was nearly catatonic from what she'd put them through.
Millard stood in the middle of the room, his entire body shaved from the head down, tears leaking from his eyes as he looked at the outfits Yvette had laid out for him. He was hoarse from protesting, but not once had he used his safe word; he couldn't explain why, but even as he was humiliated he was aroused – almost more aroused than Roxie had ever made him feel. He knew something was terribly wrong with him, he'd known it for years, but the past two hours had been more confusing than any he could remember. He shifted uncomfortably, the thing in his ass a constant reminder of his new status.
John sat. Naked, humiliated and disgusted, he stared at his fingers past the black phallus at his nose. No amount of washing would satisfy him they were clean. The smell of Millard's ass was in his nose; the smell of the depilatory was everywhere. He had wretched behind the gag, begging her to let him take it off, furthering his own debasement at his show of weakness, the smell of his vomit adding to the horrible stew. He wouldn't use the safe word, and more surprising still, he couldn't understand why he had been hard the entire time. And all the while she just watched them, sipping her cocktail, her bush and tits naked and teasing – the promise of fucking her ever present. He was almost ready to take her right now, but he knew she would fuck him up royally if he tried. His jaw was numb from fatigue, his neck wet from constant drooling of saliva and gastric juices.
As god-damn awful as this is, it isn't as bad as having a pony-tail stuck up my ass!
He grunted a little laugh at the portrait Millard made standing there.
She liked what she saw: a nicely groomed pony, his skin oiled and satiny, his tail a little small, but it would grow over time. She had images of wonderful new outfits Lyssa could make – ephemeral and cloudlike, with hard leather and metal. She'd even imagined a brand and product line:
Prancing Pony.
It was going to be too perfect. She was practically dripping from arousal – it was time to get snail-cunt inside her. He had been hard almost the entire time he had tormented his friend,
sick fuck,
and he looked like he was ready to attack her. She needed that. It had been too long since she'd had someone properly fuck her.
"Snail-cunt," she turned to him. "It's time you made yourself properly useful..."

With finals week over the women's house had transformed – the buzz of anxiety replaced by a fog of calm. That's what it felt like to Chester, as if the air itself was thick with a sedative. Usually he was unaffected by other students' stress, focusing on his own work, and rarely challenged to a point of anxiety, but then, he'd never spent any amount of time in a community of women. Maybe they had something else going on he reacted to.
He hadn't spent a night alone since Roxie admitted to falling in love with him; he still wasn't used to sharing a bed with someone. Harder still, she refused to let him wear anything, her skin pressed up against him; his sleep was suffering. And even more of a strain was his constant arousal – his peter was hard when he went to sleep and hard when he woke up. In one way he was thankful she wouldn't let him release – at least he wasn't losing his vital fluids – but his balls ached in ways he'd never felt before, and that was causing him some concern.
"Ow," he winced when she lightly stroked his sac one morning. "I think something's wrong..."
"That's natural, Chester, my love," Roxie said casually. "You just need to cum."
He could tell by her attitude that she was not going to help him.
"Go ahead, if you need to. I don't mind." She sat up in bed, stretching and then laid back on her elbow to look at him.
He considered it – even moving a little sent jolts of pain through his testicles, but he really had wanted to slow down his frequency of ejaculation. He decided against it for the moment, easing himself off the bed.
"I love you, Chester," she said with a smile and slipped out of bed to get ready for the day.
Love. He wasn't sure what that meant, or if he'd really ever felt anything like it. He'd read enough literature
about
love. His tutors had made him read the classics, so he knew what others talked about when they talked about it.
He remembered the feelings he had for Yvette in those first few months – before he realized how cruel she was. He had thought that was love, but looking back maybe it was more like infatuation. The other day, when Roxie suggested he was a submissive and she treated him...that way...he felt something like what he remembered feeling for Yvette, but it was different. It was all too confusing, really. He did feel great fondness for Roxie, maybe even affection. And then, the other night, when he had bitten her and she wanted him to do it more, that feeling in the pit of his stomach, reptilian, predatory-like. What was that about? Was that love?
The echo of that feeling came back as he gingerly washed himself in the shower. Did she really want him to hurt her? Could he continue to do that? Was that how he felt love? And
marriage?
Was Roxie really contemplating marriage? His experience in that department was limited to his parents, who had not been exemplary role models – his father leaving his mother, only to return to take over the inheritance. Others, aunts and uncles, cousins – many were married of course, but he really hadn't thought much about whether they were in love. The two things seemed to be completely separate in his experience – people married for all sorts of reasons apparently, not because they loved each other.
The house was preparing for Commencement. Although he wasn't graduating this term, he was expected to support the house's efforts. A processional committee had been formed with much activity around outfits, sashes and the like.
On top of those preparations, there was to be a party. He only got snatches of the arrangements as he did his toilette in the morning or over meals. It didn't involve him, as far as he could tell – tomorrow he would be moving back to the men's house for summer term – his last before he graduated.
Yvette had said her goodbyes the day before, the two men in tow, Millard somehow transformed, John tamed in some subtle way. She waved goodbye from the taxi, all smiles and light. He returned the waves but not the kiss. Each day he had woken up, relieved at the realization he was free from her power. For the first time in his life, he had begun to think about the future, a future he could envision without her. He pitied her: her obsession about money, her need to control. With Arthur's help he was assured he would never have to worry about money, not that he'd given it much thought; but Arthur had been clear on one thing: he had to find an avocation – he couldn't be idle.
A light knock at the door interrupted his daydream as he was packing. He returned Roxie's smile, the pain from his groin a constant reminder of his situation with her.
"Busy?" She didn't wait for an answer before walking in. Looking around, she saw he had packed most of his things. "Looks like you're pretty much ready, yeah?"
