Chapter 1: The Ship
Mira woke up confused and blind and tingling with desire. Her eyes were wide open but she saw only black. She was lying on her back, on a so-soft blanket, downy velour. She couldn't move. Her wrists and ankles were tied away from her body, so that she lay splayed and naked, legs and arms opened wide. She became aware of a stiff feather caressing her skin, starting at her arms, moving to her neck, circling her breasts, lingering on her lower belly, teasing her inner thighs, her cunt . . . The practical questions gathered in her mind, but dispersed when the feather stroked her slit. Where was she? How did she get here? She wanted to know who had abducted her, and why. She wanted to know if she was truly, permanently blind. But more than anything, she wanted to touch her pussy, and she couldn't.
The feather continued its excruciating course, and when it reached the soles of her feet, it started over. Again, and again, and again, the feather travelled over her body, lightly caressing her skin. She could hear quick, coarse breathing above her, and every now and then a few muttered words in a language she didn't recognize. Finally, the teasing ended, footsteps moved away from her, and she was left in absolute silence.
"Don't speak, girly; they'll punish you for that," said a sardonic voice. "They'll punish me too, but I don't care. So I'll just fill you in, ok? Don't talk. You're on the Tir 7 Trade Ship. You are now the property of Daro and Silerna. You will be transported to the planet Tir and auctioned off to the highest bidder---No, I said, don't speak," said the voice harshly, as Mira made a noise and began to respond. "It's hard to get used to, but the rule is: A Captive must never speak unless spoken to---ok? After a few days of eating Tiran food, you'll start to speak and understand their language. And then they'll teach you the rules and you'll understand what's happening to you." She laughed, a husky giggle. "And then, you'll panic! I'm Loraine."
Mira opened her mouth to introduce herself, but closed it again as brisk footsteps approached the room. The footsteps passed Mira and ended at the other side of the room, and a female voice spoke roughly. Mira heard a slap against bare skin, a quick gasp, more rough words, and then several loud slaps, slow and deliberate. And then Loraine's voice pleading in a strange language. And then Loraine's helpless sobs.
Sometimes large, cold hands untied her wrists and ankles, and she was lead, still naked, to a chair, where they fed her moist morsels unlike anything she'd ever eaten in her life. She chewed slowly, letting the fruity food linger on her tongue as she tried to recognize it. Once, while eating, she let the fingers of her unoccupied hand slip down to her wet pussy and begin to press and stroke her hungry little bean. Immediately, a cruel arm yanked her upward, and she felt a harsh slap on her bottom. And then another. She cried, startled. Foreign words, disdainful, remonstrated her, then pushed her back down. She felt the chair dampen beneath her.
She opened her eyes. She had no idea how many days had passed. She detected the faintest outline of shadows moving within the blackness, and she wondered if her vision was beginning to return. Mira lay on her stomach this time, her cheek and breasts and belly and thighs pressing against the downy blanket. Above her head, her wrists were bound together with scratchy rope that burned her skin when she tried to move. A hand stroked her back. The fingers were warm, soft as water, with an insistent touch.
