Chapter 6 - Amelia Jane is gagged and violated in a new place
Soon I found myself back in the little square near the fountain, under my handler's instructions.
My new accoutrement, of course, meant that I was now unable to speak coherently, but this did not, in point of fact, make any great difference to my capacity for meaningful conversation.
How my jaw ached after a while.
Time after time my handler steered me towards potential clients. On many occasions I found my attentions simply rebuffed. The methods varied. Some would merely walk past, ignoring me kneeling at their feet. Those were the kindest.
Some would perhaps venture to kick mud or water from a puddle at my nude body, as if to emphasise that although they had seen me, they did not at that time deign to permit me to expend further efforts in attempting to please them.
Others would allow me to begin the licking of their feet, but would then decide to kick me away with their sandals or boots.
A few would attempt to communicate with me. It was fairly obvious that I, gagged, was unable to talk to them, but of course, should they attempt to give me instructions or such, then I had no way to indicate that I could not understand their commands. There was thus a possibility that it could appear to them that I had been disobedient, and ignored, rather than simply not understood, their instructions.
It was with such clients that I had the most difficulties..
At first, my handler was there to intervene, should he so wish it. Sometimes I would receive only a kick or two, or perhaps be spat upon. Other times they would grip my hair, or pull my neck chain and slap me across the face. Once I felt a switch, supple wood cracking across my back, as I sprawled in the mud.
For a long time my coin box was empty. Many was the time that it was shaken, the ensuing silence showing that I had been utterly unsuccessful in my increasingly desperate efforts to earn my keep.
My handler now indicated an old man, dressed rather simply, one might say almost in rags. I went to him and he allowed me to lick at his feet for a while, then he pulled my hair to lift my head up to the level of his groin, that I might attempt to please him more intimately.
The taste and smell of him were not pleasant. It would seem that he had not washed for some considerable time.
He pushed his manhood through the aperture of my gag, and, although somewhat flaccid, was now in my mouth. His tip was at the entrance to my throat, pushing a little into my gullet. His organ was not quite large enough, as yet, to cause me to gag, or to restrict my breathing, but I could not use my tongue on the tip of him, and was restricted to pleasuring his shaft and his scrotal sac.
I knew that, were I to achieve my primary purpose, that of inducing him to discharge his sexual juices, I would have to use every subtlety of method and guile at my disposal.
I turned my gaze upward, my blue eyes no doubt a little tear-stained, making sure that they were looking their most submissive and vulnerable.
He said something to me, his voice not angry, perhaps an instruction or alternatively a comment. I had no way of knowing.
I tried to increase my efforts and pace, hoping that I had correctly interpreted the gist of his communication. He grunted, apparently satisfied, as my head bobbed back and forth, my breasts bouncing as I sought to pleasure him.
Soon he bucked and pumped his hips, and I heard him groan as I felt his viscous fluid at the back of my throat. Of course, even had I been able to do so, it would have been foolish for me to contemplate dispelling the seed that had been deposited within me. Thus I swallowed down the ragged man's discharges as best I was able, and then, obediently, cleared the residues of my attentions from his softening manhood with my little pink tongue.
Then, joyfully, I heard the clink of a small item, such as a coin, being deposited in the slot of the can that was chained around my neck. I looked up at the man gratefully. Of course, I did not know appropriate words to thank him, and even had I known them, then the ring gag would have prevented me from speaking them. But I tried to thank him, as best I could, with my eyes, and then subsequently put my head down and humbly licked his left boot to show my genuine gratitude.
It seemed that I was already some way from the investment banker PR representative that I had been. But I would at least no longer have to endure the angry swipes and kicks from men when they found my little can to be empty.
I watched him as he strode away. My handler came to me then and shook my can, hearing the rattle of the tiny item that had been deposited thence.
He patted my head approvingly as I knelt before him.
"Good little slut," he said, ruffling my hair, almost affectionately, "You are not completely useless, after all."
I looked up at him, pleased at his praise. He pulled my leash and I went to my feet. We moved to the fountain, where he allowed me to clean my face, then my knees, where they had been muddied from my service.
Finally satisfied, he conducted me to a point near the fountain where a solid ring was set into the ground.
"Now," he said, matter-of-factly, "I have more important business to attend to, so you will be working on your own from now on."
He produced a short length of light chain, coiled. Once unwound, to about four feet in length, he secured one end to the ring, and the other end to my right anklet.
"You may still, as you see, use the fountain for your cleansings," he said.
It seemed that henceforth I would be severely limited in the area where I could perform my designated service. I looked up at him. I so wanted him to stay. I was frightened at being left alone, unprotected.
He continued, "I should be back to collect you around sunset. Make sure that your can is jangling nicely by that time."
He turned and moved away, not looking back at me. I watched him go, then glanced around myself fearfully. I could no longer scamper about the market place under his direction, looking for clients. Now they more or less had to come to me. I doubted very much that my coin box would be jangling very much when my handler returned.
A man was coming in my direction. I swiftly assumed my default position in order that I might try to intercept him as he crossed the circumference of the circle within which I now found myself confined. He went past, seemingly without even noticing me.
I watched him go. Near the edge of the market place I noticed that he was accosted by a girl who, to introduce herself, went to the same 'default position' that I had been taught. She seemed very beautiful, though not, as in my case, nude. She was barefoot and wore a yellow garment, extremely short on her long legs and somewhat diaphanous. She also wore a necklace as mine, although without a can and chain attached to it. Additionally she did not wear a gag, nor have her hands confined. I was not able to see whether she had a burn mark similar to mine.
Before I could see whether she had more success than myself, I was aware of another man approaching me. I shifted my position to kneel directly in his path, so that he could not simply walk past me.
I felt the back of his hand, harsh against my right cheek, taking me from my knees down into the mud. With difficulty I got myself back onto my knees. I suppose that I had asked for the slap. I had still not mastered the delicate compromise between kneeling too far away to be noticed, and kneeling too close and becoming an impediment.
I looked back to see the yellow clad girl. She was now with a companion, similarly attired, every bit as beautiful. I wondered whether their purpose were the same as mine.
I decided to clean myself in the fountain. I was very thirsty as well as being hungry. I wondered whether the water from the fountain could be drinkable. I knew that it was used for washing, but I supposed that there might be some sort of gravity arrangement so that all of the water was fresh. Needless to say, I was ignorant of such matters.
I disported myself in the fountain hoping to attract some attention to myself so that a man might approach me, now that I no longer had the free range of the market place. No-one seemed to notice me.
I went back to my kneeling position shivering a little. I wished that I could dry myself somehow. My handler had said that he would be back around sunset, and that my coin box should be jangling by then. The light already seemed to be fading a little. I recollected Professor Jones saying that I should need three coins to pay for my food, shelter, and water. So far I had only one. I thought about which I should choose with my one coin. I thought that I should choose food. I was so hungry. Or perhaps I shall obtain more coins, I thought. I wondered at the likelihood of this, now that I was confined adjacent to the fountain, and did not have the motivation of my handler directing me.
I found myself looking at two pairs of dainty, high-arched, bare feet. I looked up from my kneeling position. The two yellow clad girls were looking down at me. I met the eyes of one of them. They were green and very beautiful. I hoped that the girls should prove friendly. It seemed that they were slaves like me, albeit better clad and less confined. The green eyed girl reached for my chain can and rattled it. She did not look pleased. She said something to me, sharply. I looked at her trying to show her with my eyes, as best I might, that I posed no threat to her, and wanted only to be friends. I wished that I were without the gag and could smile. She spoke to me more loudly.
I had few options to show her that I was unable to understand her. I shrugged my shoulders a little trying to appear non-threatening. She held my face between her fingers and thumb,squeezing my cheeks painfully against the ring gag inserted in my mouth. I felt drool dribble from my mouth and drip from my chin onto my bare breasts.
I wondered why she was so annoyed with me, but there was nothing I could do to question her as to her reasons. I noticed her friend, also clad in a tiny semi-transparent yellow scrap of a garment, hand her something. I struggled trying helplessly to free her grip from me, wriggling in her grasp. The first girl gripped me tighter, looking into my mouth.
In her hand was an insect of some kind.
It was large, multi-legged, something like a cockroach, but blacker, and with long feelers. I gathered her intent, and struggled harder, but was powerless to stop her from dropping the creature into my forcibly opened mouth. I gasped. I felt it scurry on my tongue. I tried to expel it, but her hand covered my mouth, preventing me from doing so.
With her other hand she pinched my nose. I was able only to squirm, determined not to swallow the disgusting insect that she had deposited into my mouth. Tears pricked my eyes. Why was she doing this to me? How had I annoyed her? I could feel the insect moving inside my mouth, scuttling over my tongue. I began to panic. I thrust up from my knees, trying to dislodge the girl's palm from my mouth. Her companion gripped my hair, pulling it cruelly. I was hopelessly over matched. Horrified, I felt the insect scuttling into my throat. Hot tears stung my eyes.
I saw that the other girl had another insect in her hand, similar to the first. I closed my eyes, sobbing, in acute distress now.
Suddenly I heard a slap, and the cry of a girl. I realised that there was no longer a palm in front of my mouth. I gagged and spluttered and coughed, trying to dislodge the insect from my throat. With my ring-gag inserted I could not effectively spit. I felt it in my mouth, then, as I drooled and dribbled, it fell onto the ground and scuttled away, seemingly none the worse for its temporary sojourn.
