The pain in my breasts was Wagnerian.
It was such a simple, fundamental torture I wondered why at the Agency hadn't thought of it first. I had no idea if it had been used on other women before me (although I would soon learn), but it now dominated my thoughts in a way I never thought possible. All my training at resisting physical and psychological torture had not prepared me for this. Not at all. I could've withstood gang rape or electroshock, but this....
I sat in a solid, heavy wooden chair. Except for my black thong panties I'd been stripped naked while I was unconscious. Plastic ties bound my wrists to the chair's arms, and my ankles to the front legs. The room was small, with cinderblock walls and a low ceiling. I sensed the weight of multiple stories above me. The floor beneath my bare feet was concrete, and slick with condensation. The air was thick and still, heated to a point that I remained in a perpetual sweat. My hair, loose around my face, stuck to my shoulders and cheeks. Moisture trickled down my back, the insides of my thighs, under my arms.
Before me was a small, equally solid wooden table. I awoke with my head on it, in a puddle of saliva, and it took me several moments to realize what had happened. I'd been drugged in the locker room of my health club, zapped with a puff of sedating gas by a tall woman I didn't know. She knew I was a spook, though, and that I knew things many foreign governments would kill--or torture--to know. I slept without dreaming. I awoke here.
So as I sat up, looked around and took stock of my situation, one thing became immediately obvious: I was in constant pain. And my breasts were the source. They were incredibly tender and unbelievably heavy. It was the way they felt before my period, somehow exponentially ratcheted up. Their soft skin was stretched taut, and felt hot. That's when I noticed the second change.
Milk dripped from my nipples. Milk.
I'd never had children, so I'd never nursed. But of course I had friends who did, and I knew that somehow, while I was unconscious, I'd been made to lactate. The horror of this, of realizing my body had been changed against my will, quickly gave way to another horror.
I was full. And growing fuller. With no way to relieve the ever-increasing pressure. I couldn't reach my breasts to squeeze them, and there was certainly no one around to suckle me. Hence the unbelievable pain.
Whoever my captors were, they were in no hurry to question me, and I knew physical strength would not break the plastic ties holding me to the chair. I took several deep breaths, fought down the panic and examined myself as dispassionately as I could. When I looked down at my breasts I saw the veins sticking out in each of them. More, my milk ducts had started knotting up and there were a few large, swollen lumps at the top of either breast. My nipples were hard, erect, and milk slowly seeped from each. The drip, the slowness of it, was the most agonizing thing. My head dropped back and I growled in pain.
When I brought my head back up a drip of sweat trickled down my neck, between my breasts, and slid in line with a trail of milk on my stomach - mocking me. The room was hot enough for me to be more thankful than angry about my nakedness, but my incredibly vulnerable position left me seething.
At last the door opened, and he entered. I should've known. Conley.
"Hello," he said, and placed a plain box on the table before me.
My fists clenched and, despite everything, I strained against the ties holding me. It had to be Conley, that bag of traitorous shit who was let go six months earlier after an investigation led by me uncovered his sleazy double-dealing. For an instant I forgot my nudity and my throbbing boobs and wanted only to get my hands around his throat.
"By now you understand what's been done to you," he continued. "The situation is simple: tell me the pass code to get into the Agency database, and I will see that you're milked."
He opened the box and pulled out what looked like a pair of plastic bottles, each with a suction cup attached. I recognize it as a breast pump, and despite myself I leaned forward toward it. But I said, through teeth clenched in fury, "Fuck you, Conley. And the horse you rode in on."
He smiled, and I noticed he wasn't looking at my face. Suddenly I was vividly aware of my nakedness and felt a hot flush along my shoulders and neck. I'd never felt vulnerable like that, with my breasts so prominent it was like the rest of me was a mere attachment to them. A lump of shame swelled in my throat and, far worse, I felt a tingle deep inside. The part of me that enjoyed being tied up was responding to this, and I fought it with all my might.
"I suppose I'd have been disappointed if you hadn't tried some kind of defiance," Conley continued. As always he was overweight, unshaven and rumpled. I glanced at his crotch to see if he had an erection, but I couldn't tell. "That's okay. This is as much a lab test as torture session. The longer you hold out, the more we'll learn about how this method works."
