I couldn't believe it. Rita was going to sell me, "for my own good." I tried to scream. Instead, I moaned with pleasure, wiggling my ass on the steel cart as the men laughed at me, and the voice in my head taunted me. "Free women look at you with disgust. Never look them in the eye, or you will be punished."
Isabella's voice was warm, sincere. "Seeing how much you love your sister... well, it's touched me. Here, in my heart. I want to help you, Rita. I'm prepared to do whatever it takes to make this happen."
"Whad'ya mean?" Rita asked.
I grunted, struggling to orgasm, as I listened to Miss Calico tee-up the next part of the sales process, "Overcoming Objections."
"As you know, we have a large auction coming up, and I would very much like to add Anne to our stock, as we promised our buyers a dozen prime head to bid on. Ordinarily, we charge $500 for girls to participate in an Any Chance Auction. It's refundable if the girl is sold, as we get paid through our commission, but the $500 covers our costs if the girl's owner decides not to sell her. But because I care about you, and Anne... I'm prepared to waive that fee."
"Why thank you, Miss Calico! That's right neighborly of you."
"Furthermore, to thank you for being a special friend to The Big D tonight, I'm prepared to pay you $1,500, cash, right now, just for entering your sister in the auction. If you decide not to sell her in the morning, that's fine. Keep the $1,500. It's yours."
"Wow!" Rita said. "I could buy the skateboard!"
Miss Calico smiled. "Yes, and the bowling ball, too, and have some money left over for yourself. You're always worrying about everyone else. Wouldn't it be nice to get something for yourself, for a change?"
I could see my sister's eyes move about as she imagined all the treats $500 could buy. A part of me could scarcely believe what was happening. If it wasn't for Rosco's damn pride, I could have wired her $100,000 out of my petty cash. But as I lay helplessly, being slut shamed on the steel table, my aching, wet pussy was being bartered away for a skateboard and bowling ball!
"Well, this is gittin' to be too good a deal to pass up," Rita chuckled. "How can I say no to all that?"
"You can't," Miss Calico said. "But there's something more. You were going to get her branded tomorrow, right?"
"Well... it's scheduled," Rita said, hedging.
"I'll tell you what. If you decide to sell her, it will be up to her master if she gets branded. If not, then I'll give her the implants and the branding, absolutely free."
I couldn't believe it. Miss Calico was throwing in a brand on my ass and the humiliating, all-controlling implants like they were a set of steak knives, or free shipping.
"Plus, I'll include this," Miss Calico said.
From my position on the table I struggled to see. Miss Calico opened the bag, and took out an expensive looking metal collar. It was purple, and shimmered in the light.
"Well, look at that!" Rita said. "Ayn't that prettier than a gob of butter on a stack of wheat cakes."
"This is an eternity collar. You know what that means, don't you?"
"I sure do," Rita said. "Is that really necessary?"
"No, not necessary," Miss Calico said, "Essential. It's essential if she's ever going to get better. Do it for Anne. Do it for your son."
Rita thought about it for a moment, then nodded.
Miss Calico took out another item, a cheap plastic blue tag that looked like a key ring.
"This is the tag the computer picked for her."
"Well, I guess it'll help her price," Rita said. "I mean, it pays to advertise. Um... that slick purple collar is pretty expensive, ayn't it?"
"It is," she said, holding it up to the light. "Stainless steel, beautifully crafted. It's one of the finest slave collars in the world."
"How much will that frilly cost me?"
Miss Calico smiled. "Nothing, Rita. I'm giving it to you for free, because of the greatness of your love."
Rita started to cry. Miss Calico, hugging her, patted her on the back.
Rita took a moment to blow her nose and compose herself as Miss Calico took out her iPad.
"I need to help Anne. What do I need to do, Miss Calico?" Rita asked.
"All I need is your signature on the sales authorization form," Miss Calico said. "And please. Call me Isabella. You're family now."
"Thank you," Rita said softly, as Miss Calico held up the iPad for her to sign.
The sensation as I watched Rita use her pointing finger to transform my pussy from "kenneled" to "goods available for sale" was simply indescribable.
It is said that there are three moments that define a girl's enslavement: the signature, the collaring, and the first sale. But at The Big D, once the first was accomplished, the second two were as inevitable as the sunrise.
"Did the software know my emotions? Was there a part of my brain activated at the moment a woman becomes, legally, a Pleasure Slut? Perhaps not, but the mantra in the soft, whispery voice played in my ear.
"Your hot, wet, snatch hungers for the auction block. You want to show it to the buyers, show them your block heat. You long to fetch a fine price. You are a Prime Pleasure Slut."
I arched my hips up, air fucking nothing as I struggled for release. In front of me, the trucker smiled, and stroked himself under his jacket as he pursed his lips in a mock air kiss.
The elderly man, realizing the trucker was giving himself a hand, left.
"That's it," Miss Calico said. "You can go now. I'll call you in the morning, and tell you the bids."
"Shouldn't I stay... and watch?" Rita said.
"It might be better if you don't," Miss Calico said. "This is going to be a big night for your sister, a major transition. Think of it as dropping her off at rehab. She really needs to focus on getting well."
I knew that Isabella Calico was far more interested in my resale than rehab, but Rita, ever gullible, seemed to buy it.
"You can go now," she said, patting Rita's hand. "I'll take very good care of her." Miss Calico rose, indicating the deal was closed.
Rita watched as she picked up the collar and blue tag.
"Are you gonna collar her now?" Rita asked.
Miss Calico nodded.
"May I do it?" Rita asked. "It might be easier for her, if it's done by someone she loves."
"Are you sure you can handle it?" Miss Calico said, in a solicitous voice. "I know you two are close."
"Very close," Rita said. "That's why it needs to be me."
Rita rose, and walked over to my right side. She smiled down at me, and stroked the side of my face. "How ya' doin', kiddo?" she said. She hadn't call me that in years. Once again, Rita was my surrogate mom.
Unable to speak, I looked up at her, panting like a dog in heat. Rita held up the purple collar.
"Isn't this pretty?" she asked, showing me the stainless steel. "See? It's purple, your favorite color. Royal purple, just like a Princess!"
I looked at the beautiful, brushed, polished purple steel, glimmering under the light. It was beautiful, perfect. As Rita turned it in front of my face, it glistened.
Rita had indeed, given me the collar of my fantasies.
Seeing my smile, Rita held the collar up close, detailing its finer features. "See, it's got two loops on it, front and back, for when they chain you to a coffle. And it has two sets of shock prongs, one set in front, and one in back. Really deluxe! Only the best for you, Anne."
Miss Calico's gentle voice was a cruel imitation of my sister's. "It's already been tied to your SIN, and it has a tracking chip, too. In Texas, when a slave girl goes into a store, or travels on the tollway, the information gets fed into a central database. That way no one can steal you, and you'll be tracked everywhere you go. Isn't that wonderful, Princess?"
Inside my ear, I heard the whisper. "Slave girls never think of books, or ideas, or science. Pleasure sluts think only of giving pleasure. Feel your pussy. Let it juice."
"This here is an eternity collar," Rita explained. See how it fits together, so you can't even see the hinge. They call it an eternity collar, because when I slip it on your neck, and use this Allen wrench to turn the screw, it breaks a little vial of acid on the inside that melds the collar together. Forever."
I gripped the sides of the table as Rita slipped the collar around my neck, closing it shut. In my mind, I imagined it as the rope from the gallows, being fitted around my throat.
The collar was snug, but not too tight. Trixie had used my grading papers to ensure I had the perfect fit. I would feel the collar touching my throat forever.
Miss Calico handed Rita the Allen wrench. I tensed as she put it in the collar.
"Here goes!" Rita said, smiling down at me.
Rita gently twisted the key three times. I could feel the collar warm ever so slightly as the locking mechanism sealed forever. I tried to speak, to cry out, to say something. My resistance caused my pussy to spasm so hard it lifted my bottom off the table.
"Look at 'er squirm," the first man said........
"Yeah," the trucker said. "Slave sluts LOVE their collars!"
Rita stroked the side of my face. Miss Calico, clearly impatient, held up the plastic blue tag. "Do you want me to do this next part?" she asked.
