Elizabeth's story: Ms. Wright turned to me and commanded, as if urging a recalcitrant child: "You heard His Honor. Strip."
To avoid lifetime enslavement for debt, I had to convince this judge that a shorter indenture would still reimburse the bank that owned my loans. I immediately began pulling the sweater over my head, a head filled with a multitude of thoughts. I knew that any hesitation would be disastrous, that I had to strip naked in front of these two authority figures if I ever hoped to be free again. I felt humiliated, appalled, and sexually excited—my nipples suddenly became erect as I continued to undress. Based on the behavior of the judge and Ms. Wright, I realized that this was a game they had played before, hustling a frightened young woman into abject surrender because she feared the alternative—lifelong sexual bondage—even more.
By this time, I had discarded the sweater onto a nearby chair. Blushing furiously, with downcast eyes, I reached behind me, unhooked my 36D bra, and leaned forward to remove it, my full breasts dangling briefly. I dropped the bra, bent over, and skimmed both skirt and panties off in one frantic shuffle. As I bent further to retrieve my lower garments and place them on the chair with my sweater and bra, I noticed that the crotch of my panties was dark with moisture. I wasn't surprised, as I felt a liquid warmth growing at the V of my legs.
God, this was horrible. I had an overwhelming urge to curl up into a fetal ball or at least use my hands and arms to cover my nipples and crotch. I knew that I couldn't give in to my modesty, however, or the future would be even worse. Slowly, I straightened up in front of the desk, coming to my full 5'6" and forcing myself to assume the position called "Present"—legs slightly more than shoulder-width apart, arms bent with fingers interlocked behind my neck, my chest thrust forward with everything on display. I could feel more liquid trickle down the inside of my leg. I couldn't bring myself to meet the judge's gaze, though.
"
Good
slut," cooed Ms. Williams. I was no longer her female employee but only a naked sex toy offered to the judge in a desperate attempt to influence my fate.
Wordlessly, he gestured for me to move around his desk to the right, as he turned in his chair to face me. Without releasing my interlocked fingers or turning away from him, I sidled over to a point a few feet away from him. He again spoke to my boss rather than me, saying "put her through her paces."
Ms. Williams now used an even firmer tone of voice, as if giving commands to a show dog. First, I had to "About Face" away from the judge, then "Display" so that I bent over at the waist, exposing everything between my spread legs, then "Prone," face down on the carpet with my hands by my sides and legs slightly apart, then "Slave fours," the doggie position on hands and knees with head low and ass high, then "Flip over", legs spread wide, back arched, and looking past my bobbing boobs towards my audience. The pace was slow so it shouldn't have tired me out, but my heart was racing as I became aroused by the utter subjugation I felt.
Next, she ordered "On your knees," and instructed me to shuffle towards the judge. Impassive, he unbuckled his trousers and opened his zipper. "You know what to do," she told me.
I was not a virgin, but I'd had only one penis in my mouth before, and the one in front of me seemed much larger than the one my now ex-boyfriend had possessed—and this one wasn't even fully erect. Gamely, I attempted to please him, first running my tongue over the tip and up the bottom side of his massive shaft. Then I tried to slide him into my mouth, but he was so large that at first only the head would fit. I wrapped my hands around the base of his weapon, trying to fondle its entire length, but after a few minutes of pumping the first few inches in and out, he gruffly ordered "Back Hands," requiring me to move my hands behind my waist. One of his hands squeezed my left breast while the other took control of my hair, moving my head forewords and backwards to pump my mouth on his prick. For the first time I fully understood the meaning of "face-fucking." Mercifully, he occasionally paused with most of his cock withdrawn so that I could breathe, but I was gagging even before a torrent erupted down my throat.
While I was still coughing and trying to catch my breath, the judge resumed talking to Ms. Williams. "She's awfully inexperienced," he commented, his voice and face reflecting disapproval.
"You're right, your honor, but we'll have her trained. Would you like me to bring her back in a few months for a verification test?"
"All right, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt," he said, turning back to the folder on his desk. He pulled out the first sheet and read it aloud:
"Under Texas Code Chapter 5, section 309.2, the Court authorizes petitioner Elizabeth R. Sullivan to indenture herself voluntarily to satisfy outstanding debts to XYZ Bank. Indenture to be for a period of 2 to 5 years, depending on the income she generates, during which time petitioner forfeits all rights to XYZ Bank or its successors and will be treated in all respects as a slave. Classification: Pleasure Slut. So ordered." He scrawled his name on the bottom of the page and handed it plus the entire file back to my boss.
My boss promptly pushed the file back into her bag, scooped up my pile of clothes from the chair, and added them to the same container. In a hurry, she replied "Thank you very much, Your Honor. We won't take up any more of your time. Come along." She seized my elbow and dragged me, still naked and coughing, out of the judge's office. In the outer office she handed me my sweater, skirt, and shoes, but kept my underwear. When I asked for my bra and panties back, she dismissed the request, saying "You'll only have to take them off at our next stop—no sense wasting time. Now, go into the ladies' room across the hall, wash your face, and try to tidy yourself. I suggest you take this opportunity to pee, as you may not have another chance, at least not in private. And use this, too—it will make things easier for you," she said, handing me a small tube of lubricant.
Still coughing and shaking, covered by my rumpled sweater and skirt but with no underwear, I blushed once more and hurriedly followed her orders. After using the toilet, I finally focused on the lubricant she had given me. For a moment, I didn't know why I needed it when my crotch was alarmingly damp. Then the penny dropped, and with a renewed sense of shame I pushed some of the gel up my back door. I washed my hands and face, tried to arrange my hair, and returned to the corridor, where my impatient supervisor set off for the elevator, brusquely telling me to follow.
Down the elevator, out the rear entrance of the courthouse, and across a busy street to the Department of Agriculture office, with me stumbling after Ms. Williams while trying to avoid flashing the world. We rode the elevator up to the 5th floor. When the door opened, I was startled to encounter a muscular policewoman using what looked like a dog leash to pull a naked young man, hands restrained behind him, onto the elevator car. I noticed that he was almost fully erect although his face betrayed his unhappiness. Apparently other people were losing their freedom that day.
Ms. Williams led me through a cubicle farm of office workers to a glassed-in corner office. There, a secretary smilingly addressed her by name, confirmed that she was "right on time" for her appointment and that Mr. Shively would see her now. The woman almost visibly sneered at me, correctly suspecting that I was about to become a non-person. For a moment, I was afraid that she could even smell the evidence of my arousal. I slunk past her, following Ms. Williams into the inner office where a tall young man rose from his desk with a smile and an outstretched hand for her, again ignoring me.
"Thank you for seeing me so quickly," my boss said, pulling the legal file from her carry-all. "Here's the order from Judge Bean, authorizing a voluntary self-indenture to discharge a debt."
Shively read through the documentation slowly while Ms. Williams sat in a chair and I shifted nervously from one foot to the other. Then for the first time he looked directly at me:
"Elizabeth Sullivan? Are you prepared to execute this indenture?" I nodded, shaking quietly. "Please sit here; we're required to videotape the proceedings to preclude any misunderstanding." He turned on a video camera pointed at my face, then continued talking slowly and succinctly, as if I were mentally challenged.
"You understand that, for the duration of this agreement, you will surrender all civil rights and be treated exactly as if you were a slave?" "Yu-yes Sir."
"You also understand that your new owner has the sole discretion to decide whether you have provided enough value to discharge your debt, and may keep you in servitude for up to five years?" (Gulp. I hadn't really thought of it like that, but Ms. Williams had already convinced me that my value was marginal, making it likely that I would serve the full term. Too late, now—if I balked at this point, things would only get worse.) Again, I affirmed what he had said.
