Part 2
Rena Lacke stood on the outside deck of Beau Resort staring out over the ocean.
She went over the earlier lunch scene in her head. The faces of the guests and staff of the Beau Island Resort. Their body language after the
voice
had named the charges toward those present on the island. The unconscious physical tells that they probably didn't even realize they were projecting, but practically screamed their secrets to Rena.
And after watching her fellow guests and the resort staff during the recorded indictment, Rena had no doubt that each and every one of them was guilty.
Rena smiled to herself. Being a gifted behavior psychiatrist was in many ways like being multi-lingual. She understood everything being said...and even more importantly, everything that wasn't being said. Keeping secrets from her was almost impossible. Just the way she liked it.
Besides, she couldn't do what she needed to do without it. It was the gift that made the job- this job- possible.
The resort door opened and Rena wasn't alone on the deck any more.
"Enjoying the view?" said Aubrey.
"Yes," said Rena. "Very much so."
"Breathtaking," said Aubrey. "Looks like the ocean goes on forever."
"Indeed," said Rena. Her hair was a kaleidoscope of changing colors depending on which way she faced the sun. "So tell me...did you come out to admire the view or were you looking for me specifically?"
"Both," said Aubrey. Then she noted Rena's skeptical look. "All right, fine. I was looking for you."
"I see," said Rena. "And what for, if I may ask?"
Aubrey hesitated, then said, "Because I want to apologize for...Caroline."
Liar,
thought Rena. Out loud she said, "Oh?"
"Caroline volunteered, you know," said Aubrey. "She was always the first to volunteer. She loved the adventure, the thrill. All of them did, of course, but Caroline seemed to thrive on it."
Rena said, "I'm aware of my cousin's need for adrenaline-fueled entertainment, Professor Rush. I would ask that you not insult me, however, by thinking I would accept that as justification for what happened to her."
Aubrey sighed. "Of course not," she said. "That wasn't my intention at all. I just wanted-"
Rena cut her off. "I'm aware of what you want, Professor Rush."
"Please call me Aubrey," said Aubrey. "And what is it you think I want?"
"What you want," said Rena, turning to face Aubrey, "is this."
Rena slapped Aubrey sharply across the face.
*****
Eric Parker, decorated executive chef for the Beau Island Resort, wasn't thinking about the Michelin stars he had earned for three separate restaurants. He wasn't thinking about the beef wellington he was preparing for the evening meal. He wasn't even thinking about the coffee crème brulee he would be serving for dessert.
Instead, Eric Parker was thinking about how badly he wanted to touch his cock.
His engorged cock was an iron rod, stiff and aching, and he would have done anything within his power to touch it, to grip it, to stroke it. But he couldn't touch his cock because the thick leather restraints holding his wrists above his head shoulder-width apart prevented him from doing so.
Eric might have complained about his predicament, had he been able to speak. But the ball gag in his mouth prevented him from doing so.
Of course, complaining would have done him no good anyway. It would only have earned him another whip-mark on his chest, which would have formed a criss-cross over the whip-marks already on his chest.
As if sensing his thoughts, Tori Parker- manager of the Beau Island Resort and wife to the helplessly-restrained Eric- brought her whip down and struck Eric a snapping blow across his pectorals.
Eric gasped. Tori reached over and lifted Eric's chin, her eyes locking with his.
"Concentrate, little boy," said Tori. "I'd hate to think I didn't have your undivided attention."
Eric blushed and dropped his eyes, unable to hold her gaze.
Tori laughed and took a step back. She reached down and patted the blonde hair of the naked woman kneeling by her feet.
Hannah giggled as Tori's fingers stroked through her hair.
"Good girl," said Tori. Then Tori pointed to her own pussy. "Now please your mistress."
Hannah giggled again. Then she leaned forward and began lapping away at Tori's pussy like a cat.

Aubrey fell back a step, blinking at the unexpected slap.
Rena stared at her impassively.
There was silence for several heartbeats. Then Aubrey said, "Care to explain exactly why you think I wanted that?"
"Because," said Rena, her voice taking on a slight clinical detachment, "you want absolution. You want to get closer to me, but you think you can't because the specter of my cousin Caroline hangs between us. You want to be punished so we can move past it. Well, I've given it to you."
Aubrey touched her reddened cheek. "I see," she said. "And what makes you think I want to get closer to you?"
Rena smiled and took a step closer to Aubrey, moving into her personal space. "Because I can read you like a book, Aubrey. Your cheeks were flushed before I ever slapped you. Your speech patterns are confident, but your body language says you're aroused. Your panties are wet, aren't they, Aubrey? Because you want me, Aubrey. Like I want you."
Aubrey looked at the front of Rena's blouse. Rena's nipples were rigid.
"I see," said Aubrey. "That's...pretty good. So what are we going to do with this information? How do we get around, ah, Caroline?"
Rena said, "We're on an island, away from the real world and everyone in it. For a few days, at least. We push Caroline and the rest of the real world away for the time being and just focus on...us."
Aubrey moved even closer to Rena, her modest breasts barely touching Rena's. "Can we do that?" she asked softly. "Can we forget Caroline for...for now?"
Rena offered a predatory smile. "For now?" she said. "Yes."

Elizabeth Besting stared at her cell phone. She was not happy.
"Still no fucking signal," said Elizabeth. "What kind of high-end resort doesn't have a back-up plan for wifi?"
"Oh, no," said Sam Morton. "Now you can't kick anybody."
"What?" said Elizabeth.
"Don't people kick other people on the Internet?"
"Oh, gawd, Morton," said Elizabeth. "I'm assuming you mean Kik messaging. Yes, it means I can't Kik anybody."
"And this is a tragedy?"
Elizabeth rolled her eyes. "It's inconvenient, Morton," she said. "Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Snapchat...nothing works. I'm so out of touch. Anything could be happening and I have no way of knowing."
Sam chuckled. "If your life revolves around social media, why in the world would you come to an island where things like electricity and the Internet are famously difficult to come by?"
"If you must know, I've been invited to Beau Resort to sign a modelling contract. Some of us plan to do more with our lives than parade naked sluts on stage."
"Of course," said Sam. "My mistake. Obviously parading underfed models with fifteen-inch waists existing on a thousand calories per day as the norm for what women should look like is a much more appropriate approach to promoting healthy body image and self-respect for girls."
Elizabeth snorted. "So
you
consider yourself a champion for women's self-worth?"
Sam grinned. "Sure," he said. "Why not? All women are born with built-in value between their legs. I just help them cash in on that value."
