I was in the exercise room doing Bulgarian split squats when my girlfriend sauntered in. I had been at it for a while, but I could have kept going a lot longer. I was sweaty but energized.
"I've found a job opportunity for you," Anna interrupted cheerfully.
"Oh?"
I grabbed a towel, wiped the sweat away from my face, and gave her my undivided attention.
"Rudolph Acosta," she elaborated. "He owns a theater in Campo Rojo, and he wants to hire you as one of his performers."
Campo Rojo is on the east side of town. It's famous for having a thriving artistic community. The most famous dancers, painters, sculptors and musicians in Fairhaven all got their start there.
"What sort of performer?" I asked, a bit anxiously. "I'm not an actress. I took drama back in high school and it was a disaster."
"He's not going to ask you to act," Anna assured me. "He's looking for nude performers. He wants a naked damsel in distress."
"What?"
"His theater is unorthodox. A lot of his artists perform in the nude. And after you showed up naked at the Fairhaven mall, you became kinda famous. People have shared photos and videos of you. When Rudolph observed your extraordinary stage presence, he immediately wanted to hire you."
"There are naked videos of me on the internet?" I asked.
"You're missing the point, darling."
"How many people have seen these videos?"
Anna shrugged her shoulders and said, "The point is, he was impressed, and he wants to put you on stage. If you're going to be naked in front of an audience, you might as well get paid for it. Don't you agree?"

Things moved fast. My first live performance at Rudolph's theater took place the week after our discussion, and it was a memorable experience. Anna parked around back, and I was taken to one of the dressing rooms where I was introduced to Marlo and Izabel.
Both women were impressively tall, and athletic in appearance. When I arrived, they were getting dressed and they asked me to help zip them up into their wetsuits.
Those black, skin-tight suits looked great on them, especially the way they showcased their long legs, flat bellies and narrow waists. Marlo and Izabel both looked deliciously svelte and sexy. I could hardly wait to get onstage with them, in spite of my performance anxieties.
None of Rudolph Acosta's performance artists used their real names when performing in his theater. Marlo's stage name was Martine. Izabel's stage name was Sigrid. Anna had picked out my stage name for me. She decided that I should be named Cinderella.
"I can see why Rudolph hired you," Martine said. "You're adorable."
"It's not just the sex appeal," Sigrid added. "You look so innocent and wholesome. You'll have no problem playing the role of a damsel in distress."
Neither Anna nor Rudolph had bothered to tell me much about what I'd be doing once I got on the stage, so it fell to my fellow performance artists to explain it to me.
"You'll be taken onto the stage, naked and in handcuffs. You'll act the part of a naked slave girl. You won't say anything, and you don't need to do anything except what we tell you to, while Sigrid and I abuse you for the entertainment of the patrons.
"What sort of abuse?" I asked, starting to wonder if I'd made a big mistake.
"Nothing you can't handle," Sigrid assured me. "We've been told about the sorts of things you've endured in the past. We'll be doing some BDSM stuff to you, but it will be mild compared to some of the stuff that's happened to you in the last three years."
"You know about my time in Verborgen?" I asked.
"We know enough. Anna took plenty of photos and videos of your time there. She sent some of them to us as email attachments."
"I saw a video of you being whipped. Nothing we're doing to you tonight will be anywhere near as painful as that."
Then Martine told me to place my hands behind my back so I could be handcuffed.
"It's part of the whole damsel in distress image we're trying to project. Our audience always enjoys that sort of thing."
I placed my hands obediently behind my back and allowed Martine to make me her helpless prisoner. Of course, she didn't stop there.
"The next wicked surprise is this thing that goes inside you."
Martine held up an object that was smooth and glossy, like a large, polished stone of black onyx.
"It's an egg vibrator with ten different speeds," Sigrid explained. "I'll have the remote control, and I'll torment you with it while the people in the audience get to enjoy watching your reactions."
"Um...," I replied inarticulately.
Martine reached between my legs and played with my pussy, trying to get my pubic lips apart. I was already wet, and it didn't take a lot of effort on Martine's part to get my vagina to open up for her.
Ohhhhh!"
Her fingers probed deep into my throbbing sex and explored the interior of my vagina. It seemed unnecessary to me for her to spend so much time with her fingers inside of me, but once I was handcuffed, my submissive tendencies took over, and I humbly submitted to everything they did to me without complaining.
