This is the conclusion to the three part story, and was always intended to tie everything up. I do however have a sort of epilogue in mind, that I might get around to writing one day. Thanks for reading, and as always, comments and feedback welcome!

I'd had the phone in my hand for nearly an hour now, if I held it much longer the sweat would render it unusable. I knew the number, I knew what I had to do – why was it so hard to just do it?
I had spent the last seven days alternating wildly between fear, excitement, lust, and shame, thinking of nothing but the plan that had germinated in my mind and strangled all other concerns. Looking at the worn printouts now, for the hundredth time, it seemed a lot less simple.
The printouts were emails, which I had printed a week ago during my last... meeting... with a woman called Heather Dean. Heather was about as successful as you can be – she had an excellent job, was wealthy, respected, and beautiful. And she
hated
me. Ever since she'd first come across me, watching her undress in her hotel suite (at this point I cannot pretend to feel guilty about that), she had devoted herself to destroying me. Twice now she had 'summoned' me, so that she could harass, demean, and humiliate me in the most graphic and obscene way possible.
Except last time, I stumbled across something rather interesting in her office, once she'd had her fun and left me. Something which could get my tormentor in a
lot
of trouble.
Two days I had spent holed up in my little apartment since then, sat at my computer and obsessively researching what I had found, and making sure it meant what I thought it meant. I didn't even bother phoning work. When my manager e-mailed me telling me not to bother coming back, I barely registered it – all that mattered now was this. And as it turned out, I was right – she was stealing thousands from her company, unbeknownst to anyone. Until now anyway.
Not that she had any idea of course – I'd printed the evidence and bolted, clearing my tracks. She was still sending me her taunting little e-mails, dropping sly hints that she might release her humiliating videos of me, or report my voyeurism to the police. They used to make me quail. Now I just burned with anger.
Anger in the safety of my apartment was one thing, but I still had no idea what to do with this information. Report her anonymously? She'd know it was me, of course she would. She'd take me down with her, without a doubt. Maybe I could confront her myself with the printouts? Yeah, right. The thought of marching up to Heather, whom I could barely look in the eye most times, and threaten or blackmail her, was absurd. She'd take one look at me and laugh, and then start giving more of her 'commands.'
But yet, every so often wild ideas would rush through my mind, ideas of what I could demand of
her
if I did blackmail her. Images of Heather subjected to all the ordeals I had been subjected to raced through my head. I would picture
her
stripping for an audience,
her
having to abandon any trace of modesty for a video camera,
her
lying naked on her back with a dildo deep inside her... It was almost impossible to picture it properly though – she would never allow anyone to do that to her. The ideas would die almost as soon as they came to me.
And then, five days after our last meeting, she sent another of her emails. It was typically short, and simply said 'Hope you are free next week...' Attached was a picture of a truly monstrous red dildo, thicker than any real cock, and her video camera. She knew full well that my imagination would take over from there, letting me know exactly what she had planned for our next meeting 'next week.'
I snapped. Suddenly the whole situation rearranged itself in my mind – there was no way I was going to throw away this golden opportunity. She had wrecked my life, lost me my job, humiliated and degraded me sexually for the amusement of her followers, with no end in sight, and I was going to let that go because I was scared to face her? I would just have to deal with it...
Now that it was time to make the call though, all the meticulous planning and mental steeling seemed hopelessly inadequate. But, enough was enough – I either did this now or forgot about it. I dialled the number.
"Heather Dean's office." It was her secretary.
"Hello this is Peter Baines can you tell Heather that I want to see her this evening at 6 pm please." I groaned inwardly – I could not have rushed that more.
"Excuse me?"
"This is Peter Baines," I forced myself to speak slower, louder, more confidently. "Could you please tell Heather Dean that I need to see her this evening at 6pm, at her hotel suite. It concerns..." I glanced down at the printout "...account 776809. She'll know what it entails. Thank you, good bye." I hung up and threw the phone onto the couch as though it were a live grenade. Had I sounded too nervous? Had I made it clear enough? Would Heather get the hint? God she'd be
furious
when she got that message. Had I done the right thing?
Despite the anxiety that had descended on me, I couldn't help but feel a little exhilarated. I'd done it, this was happening! Now I just had to wait.
The afternoon passed quickly. I went over the plan I'd prepared over the last couple of days, rehearsed what I would say, and just generally tried to calm myself down. No word from Heather – would she even turn up? What if she just called the police now?
No
, I told myself,
she'll need to know what I know
.
5pm came. I showered, dressed, grabbed the prepared backpack, ran over the plan one last time, and headed for the hotel suite.
Circumstances could not have been more different from the last time I had walked into the lobby of the Playfair hotel, but I found I was just as nervous, if not more so. At least last time I'd had no idea what I was getting into. I'd only been to the suite once before, but my feet seemed to know exactly where to go. At six o' clock on the dot, I was stood in front of the Elizabethan suite once again, telling myself to breathe normally.
I knocked. Three loud knocks.
The door burst open violently, and a set of hands seized me by the collar and pulled me into the room. By the time I'd recovered from the shock I was pinned against the wall of the suite, the door creaking closed beside me. So much for 'she might not even turn up.'
"
What
, do you think you are
doing
?" hissed Heather. She was still holding me painfully against the wall, not that I would have dared to move anyway. She looked like she had just come from work – she was still dressed for work anyway, just like all our previous encounters she was smartly dressed, albeit without the suit jacket now. "You think you can just
summon
me? Is there some confusion about how this works? I own you.
I
summon you, you ignorant low-life pervert."
Nothing had prepared me for this, for getting the full force of her rage in person.
What the hell had I been thinking
? I thought miserably.
Why had I thought I could get away with this
? I tried to come up with some way of backing out of this, of apologising...
"And why were you bleating about that account?" she demanded, after a slight pause. The instant she said it all my doubts and regrets vanished as quickly as they had materialised. She was afraid, I realised. She might be trying to wear the mask of her usual anger, but I had rattled her...
"Let me go," I demanded quietly. With a snort of disgust she released me, backing off a little. Still, I couldn't help but notice the way her eyes darted to my rucksack, the way she was pacing...
"Well? Explain yourself before I call the police!" Without a word, I took off my backpack and pulled out copies of the printouts that I had devoted the last week of my life to. Once I was reasonably sure I could control my hands, I gave them to her.
Heather was doing her best to keep her face expressionless and calm, but I knew I had just confirmed her fears. She scanned the pages, all of them, without moving, before hurling them angrily at the couch behind her.
"You used my
computer
? You
stole documents from my computer
?" For a second I genuinely thought she was going to hit me. I had seen her angry before, but this was different, she looked out-of-control angry. I tried to look calm as her rant continued. "You are going to
pay
for this, you have
no
idea. You think what you've had so far was bad? You think that was humiliation? Just you wait! Did you like the look of the lobby downstairs? How would you like to have to march naked through there? Jerking your pathetic little cock? You think last week's little show was embarrassing? I'll have you fist fucking your own asshole on the
fucking
street corner for this! I-"
"No." I cut her off, before she lost control completely. I wasn't so sure I could handle this anymore. "W-we aren't going to do that," I stuttered, "because this is what
