Wednesday Jessica went out of town for a meeting with her accountant, and when she returned in the evening she was surprised to find Marie -- who had seemed moody that morning -- with a big, goofy smile on her face. "What have you been up to?" asked Jessica suspiciously.
"Let me show you," said Marie, taking her mistress by the hand. She led Jessica to the living room couch, put a drink in her hand, and turned on the TV. Sipping the cool martini, Jessica saw that their video camera, an old-tech relic that hadn't ben out of the closet in years, was hooked up to the TV; Marie pressed Play and Jessica sat back to watch.
What she saw was Jane, on her knees in that very living room. She was very elaborately tied, with her arms stretched out to either side by ropes, her torso supported by another lattice of ropes that hung from the ceiling. Moving around, zooming in and out, the camera explored every inch of her bound, naked body. Her ankles were tied about two feet apart by several strands, with another rope leading away from each ankle to somewhere offscreen; she was also ball-gagged and clamps dangled from her nipples. Clearly Marie had spent a lot of time creating this scene; Jessica could see very careful work had been done on the ropes and knots.
