Christina and Susan were both frustrated and aching. They had been standing in the same position for over two hours. Each woman's left ankle had been bent behind her and tied around her upper thigh so she had to stand on one leg. This was painful enough, but their predicament was much worse. Their wrists were handcuffed behind their backs and each had rope around their necks tied to the basement rafters, preventing either woman from kneeling to relieve the pain in her feet. But this was not the worst part of their situation either. Neither girl could move much at all as they were joined together at their breasts. Small metal rings had been placed through each of the girl's pierced nipples, locking them tit to tit. Even the slightest moves tugged on their tender nipples, and any major move could threaten to rip the metal rings out. So the girls tried to stand as still as possible, moving together when they did move to relieve the cramping in their legs.
When Mr. Jacoby finally came downstairs, Christina begged for her master to let her free. But instead, he picked up a leather flogger from the ground and brought it down hard against the girl's bare back. Christina moved forward into Susan and Susan thought she was going to fall over backwards, which would surely have ripped the metal rings out of her nipples. Susan tried as hard as she could to keep her balance, trying to stay as close to Christina as possible to protect her breasts.
Jacoby sat the flogger down and released the handcuffs, then the ropes from the girls' necks and legs. Both let our long sighs as their left feet touched the ground and gave their cramped right legs a bit of rest. Jacoby and used a pair of pliers to separate the rings holding the women's nipples together. Both girls raised their hands to their chests and massaged their abused nipples. The man spun Christina around and gave her a deep kiss, which she returned. "Both of you, please follow me upstairs," he said, and walked away. Christina followed close behind and Susan lagged a few steps behind her.
"Susan, please go upstairs to the second bedroom," Jacoby said. "You know where it is. You will find your outfit for the night laid out on the bed along with some makeup. Please take a shower first. You really need it." Susan couldn't disagree as she knew she must really stink after a week without showering. "Meet us back down here in an hour," he continued.
The naked girl headed upstairs to the bedroom she had occupied briefly earlier in the year. She was looking forward to a hot shower but wasn't sure what type of outfit she might be forced to wear and what type of audience she might end up wearing it for. When she reached the bedroom, she decided not to look in the dress box on the bed and instead went straight for the shower. "Might as well enjoy the shower first," she thought, "and then deal with the clothes." The shower was a large tiled shower with rainforest shower head and multiple massaging jets on the sides.
Susan turned on all of the water jets and climbed into the shower. She knew she had an hour and planned to use as much of it as possible the water. There was a collection of body gels and shampoos sitting on a small ledge and she picked each one up and smelled it, finally settling on a rose body wash. She positioned her back against one of the side jets and let the hot water pound against her aching body. She poured out a little of the shower gel and massaged herself with it, taking extra time to massage her aching breasts, where the red whip marks Christina had given her were just starting to fade. Susan picked up a shampoo bottle and poured a little into her hand. She knew her hair was a disaster. It hadn't been cut in months and she only showered once or twice a week now. One day of shampoo and conditioner wasn't going to help much, but Susan was still happy to be able to pamper herself a little.
She knew she had consumed a good bit of her time, so she reluctantly turned off the water and stepped out of the shower, grabbing a pair of thick towels, one for her body and one for her hair. She wrapped the towel around her head like a turban and used the other towel to dry herself off before walking back into the bedroom. She opened the dress box and saw a short black dress along with stockings, underwear and heels. Susan took a quick look at the clock and realized she had more time than she thought and wished she had spent more time under the warm water. She walked back into the bathroom to drop off the towels and saw the assortment of cosmetics on the vanity. Jacoby hadn't said anything about makeup, but he also didn't say not to use any. Susan decided to chance it and sat down at the vanity and got to work with the foundation. When she was satisfied, Susan looked through the eye shadows and blushes and picked some appropriate colors. She ran a brush through her hair and tried to get it as perfect as she could before going back to the bedroom.
She hadn't worn a bra and panties in awhile and was surprised how odd it felt. The stockings and heels felt even stranger. She slid the dress over her head and was pleased at how well it covered her body. It was the type of dress she would have worn to a party last year, before all of this started. She did a quick check of her makeup and touched up lipstick before realizing she had five minutes left, so she hustled back downstairs to the living room.
All of the furniture had been moved out and replaced with several rows of folding chairs and a small platform in front of the room. Christina was dressed in a bright red dress and was sitting in one of the chairs in the back row and she motioned for Susan to come over and join her. Susan sat down next to her and said, "you look nice tonight". Christina returned the compliment as a few more people entered the room. Susan recognized one of the men from the party she had served in the fall, although the girl with him was new. There were a few unaccompanied men as well. Susan asked Christina if she knew what was going on, but the other woman told her she would have to wait and see. Susan did not like that answer.
