Karen was working late again. It was the third time this week, but she didn't mind. With no one in her drab little apartment to miss her she spent a lot of time at work. She didn't mind the extra hours, even though she was on salary and wasn't making extra money for the extra hours. Karen and Mike had broken up a couple of months ago, and ever since she hadn't been able to get interested in men again. Their relationship had started in high school, and Karen thought that someday they would get married. Catching Mike sleeping with her neighbor had destroyed those hopeful dreams.
Now Karen kept mostly to herself, even among her coworkers. At five foot seven, 125 pounds, with auburn hair and pert lips, she was often stared at, but she never took notice. Not even on this night when Jason had invited her to go with him and some of the other office drones to celebrate. Karen politely declined, and didn't even notice the dejected look on Jason's face when he walked away from her cubicle.
Suddenly Karen yawned, and looking at her watch realized it was getting late. She had worked past 10 pm without even realizing it. Quickly Karen shut down her workstation, tidied up her desk and grabbed her coat and purse. On her way out of the office she made sure the door was locked and then made her way to the elevators. It only took a few moments for the elevator to arrive, and Karen stepped inside only to drop her coat and purse as she tried to push the button for the parking garage. Cursing under her breath, Karen picked up her things, but in her frustration she didn't see that her car keys had fallen onto the elevator floor. Karen yawned again when the elevator dinged and the doors opened on the parking garage. Casually digging into her purse for her keys while walking toward her beat up Honda Civic, she suddenly realized they must have fallen out when she dropped her purse. She turned and tried to run back to the elevator before it closed, but her skirt and heels prevented her from being fast enough. It was when the elevator door closed, cutting off the light from within that Karen noticed the parking garage lights were not on.
Cursing again under her breath, Karen slowed to a walk and made her way to where she thought the elevator call buttons were. She never made it.
Before she could react a gloved hand covered her mouth and nose and with appalling strength pulled her backward into a hard body behind her. She barely even had time to panic before she felt the prick of a needle in the soft part of her neck below the jaw line. Almost instantly she felt drowsy, and then everything went black.
When Karen awoke, she was cold, and more than a little uncomfortable. Still groggy she tried to raise her hand to her head, but realized she couldn't move. Suddenly panicking, thinking she had been paralyzed she frantically tried to bring her hands up to her head. Slowly, as the fog of whatever drug she had been given wore off, she realized she wasn't paralyzed, but tightly bound. Her hands were straight out from her sides, and her ankles were each bound separately. As Karen regained more of her faculties she realized that it was dark, but not completely black. Looking down she saw that she was in a strange type of slightly reclining chair. It had no seat, only support for her thighs, and her back was pushed all the way into the back of it. Her wrists were bound to the arms of the chair that grew straight out to the sides. It was also at this time that Karen realized she was completely naked.
Karen wasn't particularly athletic, but she had a graceful, fit body. Not so much from working out, or making sure she ate the right kinds of food, but from her youth. At 21, Karen was quite an attractive girl. She had smallish C-cup breasts with dark pink areola and nipples. Her stomach was mostly flat with only a hint of paunch, and her hips were narrow without being skinny.
Bit by bit, either Karen was growing accustomed to the dim light, or it was getting brighter. She could now see that she was in a plain room with concrete walls on the three sides she could see. No windows, mirrors, or pictures broke the cold and hard grey lines of the cement. Straining her ears to listen, Karen tried to figure out where she might be. It was useless; no sound entered her silent prison.
"Which means no sound will likely get out of here either" Karen thought out loud.
"You're absolutely right my dear" came a slippery reply from behind her.
Karen sucked in a gasp of air, suddenly realizing that she was not alone. A slight shadow began moving along the wall, but she could hear no sound of footsteps. After what seemed like an agonizingly long time, her captor came to face her. He was dressed in a black turtleneck shirt, tan slacks, and very expensive looking shoes. He also wore a surgeons mask, but Karen could see that he had striking green eyes below a high forehead, and thick brown hair. She wondered how he moved so silently in those hard-soled shoes when he startled her by crouching to the floor between her spread thighs.
"Tsk, tsk" he said with a slight clucking sound, "You haven't been taking care of yourself Karen"
Karen had no idea what he was talking about until he stood again, silently walked behind her, and then silently returned with a small cordless electric trimmer. Again he crouched to the floor between her legs and began to trim away her pussy hair.
Tears streamed from the corners of her eyes as she helplessly watched this strange man methodically removing every last hair from her crotch. After a few minutes he seemed satisfied, and again moved silently behind her. A short pause later and he was back with shaving cream, a bowl of water, and a razor. Not quite paralyzed with fear, Karen began whimpering.
"Please don't hurt me, I'll give you anything, I have money. I'll give you as much as you want!" cried out Karen, but the man went on, unperturbed. He slowly massaged the shaving cream onto her skin with his fingertips, and then began using the razor to remove her stubbly pubic hair. Silently he removed all of her pubic hair, even around her little pink butt hole.
"That's much better, don't you think Karen?" said the strange man in more of a statement than a question.
"What do you want with me?" she cried. But he only looked at her over the surgeon's mask. Karen thought she knew only too well what the man wanted, but she was afraid to even think about it. Again the man stood, taking his grooming tools with him to some unknown area behind Karen. After a few moments he reappeared, holding some type of shiny chain in his hand. He reached out, placing a painfully tight spring clamp on her left nipple. She gasped from the pain and weight on her nipple.
"Feel free to cry out, or even scream if you like. No one can hear you here, and I like the feedback" said the man from behind his mask. To Karen it sounded like he was smiling as he said it. He added a clamp to her other nipple, and connected the silvery chain between the two.
He pulled from his pocket a brass pyramid about the size of a walnut. It had a hook on the top of it as if it was going to be hung from a Christmas tree. It hung just as cleverly from the chain connecting Karen's nipple clamps. The sudden weight pulling on her already sore nipples caused incredible pain, and Karen now wept openly, begging for him to stop. But the man had no intentions of stopping. Over the next few minutes he attached several more of the brass pyramids to the chain until Karen thought her nipples would be ripped from her breasts.
Again, the man moved silently behind Karen. To her surprise, and dismay, she heard a door open. Then the dim light went out, and the door closed again leaving Karen alone in utter darkness. The weight pulling on her nipples was growing more and more excruciating. Karen was at the point where she didn't think she could take it any more when slowly, as if she was imagining it, she felt the caress of cold air teasing over her bare shoulders. Unsure of what she was feeling, Karen tried to listen for the sound of a fan, or air conditioning. But the air over the rest of her body was completely still. Slowly, the cold caress of air moved down over her shoulder to her chest, and then to her throbbing nipples. The cold air was slightly calming, even though Karen had no idea where it could be coming from.
After what seemed to Karen a very long time, the door behind her opened again, and the light came on again. Even as dim as it was, it made her blink and squint as if it were as bright as the sun. Instantly the cold caress on her breasts was gone and Karen sucked in another great breath as the pain returned.
The man behind the surgeon's mask appeared before her with his hands filled with objects that filled her with terror. In his right hand he held a plastic object that Karen could only describe as gigantic. In his left hand he held more chain. For a dizzying moment, Karen thought he would add more weight to the chain hanging by her nipples.
"Surely if he adds more weight it will pull them off!" she thought in her pain addled mind.
Seeing the uncertainty in Karen's eyes, the man gestured with his right hand.
