By the time he returned to their guest quarters, Jennifer had had time to quickly shower and dress. She anxiously grabbed him by the arms. "What happened?"
"He said you needed more treatments," Don growled. "But..."
"But what?"
"It wasn't what he said, but how he said it," said Don. "Jennifer, I think he's done something to you. I think he's changed you in some way, some way to make you responsive to him, and not me."
Jennifer averted her eyes.
"Jennifer?"
She licked her lips nervously.
He shook her by the arms. "Jennifer, what is it you're not telling me?"
"I... I'm his slave, Don!" she cried.
"Yes, I know about your little roleplaying game. You're the slave and he's the master. You've thrown it in my face enough times."
"No!" Jennifer shook her head and pulled free. "You don't understand! It's
real
!"
"What?"
"It's real." She hugged herself tightly. "The Seed he keeps talking about. It's real. He... put something in my head.
Someone
. Her name is Katgirl. She... she controls me now, Don."
"No!"
"She does!" said Jennifer. "She tells me that I will be Omni's sex slave... and only his sex slave. She tells me... that I belong to
him
now." She stared at him with guilty eyes.
"No," Don whispered. He thought the implications through. "We've got to get out of here!"
"No, Don, he won't let us!"
"Whatever he's done, whatever he did to you, can be undone. We'll go and get help," said Don. "Come with me." He pulled on his reluctant wife.
********
It was a cold, windy, and rainy morning as they made their way to the dock. Don had to pull Jennifer by the hand the entire way. Her resistance grew stronger and stronger as they got closer and closer to the schooner. Finally she grabbed onto a railing on the dock and wouldn't be pulled any farther.
"Jennifer, come on!" he yelled over the wind. "The schooner is right there!"
"No! You go on without me!" she cried.
"I'm not leaving you!" Don cried.
"I can't leave!" she sobbed. "Katgirl won't let me!"
Don took her face in his hands. "Jennifer, you're stronger than that! Fight it!"
"I... I can't," she sobbed.
"There is no escape," said a new voice, just before a crack of thunder.
They both turned, completely soaked, to see Omni standing before them. He cast a giant shadow over them both.
"She is mine now. She was always mine, from the moment you unwisely turned her over to me," said Omni. "What kind of man turns over his wife to be fucked by another?"
"You tricked us!" said Don.
"And quite easily, too," said Omni. He turned to Jennifer. "Katgirl. You will return to the house and put on dry clothing. You will find some sexy clothes the girls just put in your closet. You will put on whatever you think will be most appealing to your Master and await my command."
"Yes, Master." And to Don's horror, Jennifer let go of the railing and calmly started walking back to the castle.
"Jennifer, come back!" Don cried.
"She doesn't respond to your commands anymore. She does, however, respond to mine." Omni stared at him. "And what shall we do with you, Don?"
"I'll go to the police! I'll contact the World Government!" Don cried.
"Yes, we can't have that," said Omni. "You, Don, will go to the dungeon in the basement and lock yourself up."
"What?"
"Go now. Go before I change my mind," said Omni darkly.
********
Don found himself walking back to the castle in the pouring rain. When he got inside, he went down the castle stairs into the dungeon. He had never been there before. He found a room lit by old fashioned torches which had manacles hanging from the wall. Don slid his wrists into one and banged it shut and then did the same with the other wrist.
Don blinked and shook his head.
Why had he just done that?
There was something about Dr. Omni. Something about his tremendous force of will which forced people to obey him. That must have been what he did to Jennifer.
Time passed. Hours. Don wondered what Omni was doing with Jennifer. It didn't take much imagination to figure it out. He was fucking her again while Don had obediently gone down into the basement and locked himself up. Omni was right.
He wasn't a real man.
He struggled against his manacles. The manacles he himself had put on. But they were locked up tight. He hung against the wall for hours, perhaps days, fading in and out of consciousness. Without any outside sunlight, it was impossible to tell the passage of time.
Jennifer! Oh my dear sweet Jennifer!
********
"See, I told you Master forgot about him."
"He didn't forget about him. He's simply ignoring him."
Don blinked and opened his eyes slowly. He had been dreaming of Jennifer. He had been trying to fuck her, but somehow could not get her pants off. He had an enormous erection, but couldn't figure out how to open them. Jennifer had been of no help, just smiling at him alluringly.
He found his eyes focusing on the blonde girls. One of them carried a tray of food. The other opened his manacles. He dropped to the floor. He felt a cup being put to his mouth. "How... how long?" he gasped.
"Have you been here?" said one of them. "Since you arrived?"
"Don't be stupid, Aargati. He means since he was put into the dungeon."
"Oh. Most of the day, I think," said Aargati. "You should eat something."
They hand fed him. Don's tired mind tried to process this. It had only been a day? It felt like
days
. And where was Jennifer?
"Fucking, mostly," Aargati said. "Katgirl is very tight with Master now."
"Very tight," Aaragati grinned. "In more ways than one, I think." Both girls laughed.
"No... not Katgirl. Jennifer!"
"It's too late for that," said Aargati. "She's Katgirl now. Do you really think our original names were Aargati and Aaragati?" She gave him an amused look. "My previous self was Susan Richards."
"And my previous self was Jennifer Richards. Yes, my name was Jennifer. Just like your former wife!" said Aaragati.
"Not... former.... wife," Don rasped.
"Better not let Master hear you say that," said Aargati. She started to peel off his clothes.
"What are you doing?" he asked.
