They headed back to the gigantic airship, the captain rushing ahead, his hand pressing onto his fedora hat to prevent it flying off in the breeze and his long, canvas coat flowing behind him. Lady Sally and Victoria followed, trying to keep up with his pace. These hurried escapes were getting to be a habit.
They approached the shed where the munitions were stored.
"Damn," cursed the captain. "They've put a guard on the door."
"That is not an insurmountable problem," said Lady Sally. "Leave this one to me."
She marched up to the Prussian soldier in his grey uniform with a brass blunderbuss slung around his shoulder.
"Oh, hello there," she smiled sweetly, fluttering her eyelashes at him, "I wonder if you could provide me with a little help. You see, the lace on my boot has come untied, and my corset is so tight I can't bend down to tie it up."
The soldier noted Lady Sally's cascade of black hair tumbling out of the cap, her jacket tailored smartly to follow the line of every voluptuous curve and her leather boots with silver eyelets along their front. One of the boot laces was loose.
"Of course, madam," he said, dropping the blunderbuss onto the ground, and kneeling at her feet.
For one delicious moment his face was eye-level with Lady Sally's crotch, and the crisply ironed seam of her trousers where they tucked into the boots. But the moment was fleeting
Lady Sally's knee flew straight into his balls with all force she could muster. The soldier collapsed straight onto the ground grasping his groin in agony. She swept into action, pulling a line of cord from her pocket and tying his ankles together. The captain leapt forward to take up the blunderbuss, aiming it at the unfortunate infantryman. Within seconds he was fully trussed up in rope bondage.
"We could do with a gag for him so he can't alert anyone," said the captain.
"Victoria! Take your knickers off will you."
Tied up and gagged, the soldier was dragged into the warehouse out of view.
"We'll take a crate of blunderbusses," said the captain. "There'll be one for you, Lady Sally, one for me and enough to arm most of the crew if it's needed. Besides, we can't carry any more."
The captain and Victoria grabbed a crate, etched with the company name,
Krapp Munitionshersteller,
dragging it out of the shed towards the mooring tower. The captain heaved it up within his muscular arms and staggered forward. They still hadn't been discovered, Archduke Hardonberg having been taken in by the ploy of the broken corset, at least for the moment.
When they got back to the airship, they dashed to the control room to make a fast getaway. Captain Wyndham fired up
The Corseted Domme's
engines, set the propellers whirring, and adjusted dials on Clarissa.
