The Pits of Depravity
Thank you for looking at my story. I enjoyed writing it, and I hope you enjoy reading it. It would be very helpful if, having read it, you give it a rating, and add any comments that occur to you.
This story is not part of a series, but it is the first volume in what I hope will be a tetralogy. In later volumes the science fiction element will be much more prominent. Obviously, it would be equally at home in the "BDSM" or the "Noncon" categories, but we have to choose one.
Chapter One - Admission
The Pits of Depravity were not called that officially. The discreet sign at the entrance to the car park said "Heilbron Laboratories," but some visitors called it "Sinners' Paradise," and others preferred "The Holes," which was less explicit. Admission was strictly by invitation only. Newcomers were recommended by one or more existing members, and were vetted with great care. Pretexts were found to test them for a infectious and contagious diseases, and their online accounts and devices were hacked and ransacked to discover anything illegal. Extensive debts were a disqualification, or anything that would cause unwelcome authorities to come searching for them.
Christobell was a candidate because she was a rich widow, left alone at only twenty-four as a result of her rich husband's passion for rock-climbing. She was twenty-five when she was "spotted" by a boyfriend who, although in most respects unsuitable, discovered her interest in BDSM, and knew that her efforts to find a like-minded partner had met with only sporadic success.
Her problem was that she craved both long-term bondage and ruthless sexual exploitation, preferably by multiple partners at once or in quick succession. She had no interest in role-playing games, but wanted an experience that was real, with no hope of escape or release before the designated date and time. The Pits were open to both dominants and submissives, and she was clearly the latter.
She was not told of the existence of the establishment until her vetting was complete. That was done by enrolling her in a programme that ostensibly monitored her health and provided a range of dietary supplements and immunizations. Unknown to her, she was treated to improve her libido and her tolerance for bondage, and to suppress her gag reflex and vulnerability to tickling and itches.
Then she was sent an invitation to visit over a bank holiday weekend- Friday to Tuesday- with access to an online brochure that disappeared after an hour. There was an assurance that she would suffer no "lasting" damage, but she had to accept that she would be put to sexual use by the membership, numbers unspecified. Discretion was guaranteed, and there would be no charge as she was a first-time submissive. If she decided to return, there would be a membership fee which she could easily afford.
She would, of course, be expected to sign a non-disclosure agreement, any breach of which would have very serious consequences. No photography or recording of any kind was permitted. She found it all very vague: all she knew was that she would agree to be tied up and ravished over several days. It seemed dangerous, but it was what she had wanted all her adult life, so she signalled her agreement, and in due course was sent her joining instructions.
It was made clear to her that only members of six months standing were told the location. She would be collected from her home by a Hymer motorhome with frosted windows, and the driver would remain in his place. She should come completely empty handed. She would need no money or cards, or her mobile phone, or even a watch. They knew she needed no prescription or proprietary medicines. She should wear a short, simple and inexpensive dress, a pair of sandals, and nothing else at all.
On the day, she dithered and dallied until the very last minute, for it was a huge and dangerous step to take. She knew, however, that she would not get many chances to live the kind of life that she wanted, and everything about the offer seemed genuine. The short-lived boyfriend who had nominated her had seemed reliable, honest and solicitous of her welfare. He would have lasted longer had he not insisted on untying her before they went to sleep. She spent some time choosing a suitable dress, but when the motorhome pulled up at her door she walked purposefully out of her house and into hit, hearing the lock click as she closed the door behind her.
The journey took no more than ninety minutes, and Christobell has no idea where they went. Nor did she see the outside of the establishment. It appeared to be a redundant and repurposed storage and distribution centre for frozen food, but the insulation and the masses of rock that had kept it cold now helped to keep it very warm and humid. Much of it was a network of old mines and natural caverns, some them enlarged or cleared of rubble.
There was a windowless and featureless building as well, covering the entrance, and it served as offices and a huge garage where members could leave their vehicles. In the old days trucks could load and leave without exposing their cargoes to the summer sun. Now newcomers like Christobell could come and go without a glimpse of the outside world.
They did not come and go with their hands free, however. As soon as the Hymer stopped, the door opened and a young white man entered, wearing nothing but a loincloth. He was holding a single piece of thin rope; the ends gathered to prevent fraying. "Good afternoon, Miss Christobell," he said politely. Would you please turn your back to me and give me your hands?"
She had expected to be bound, if not quite so soon, so it never occurred to her to refuse. She was surprised, however, to see that the man was collared, and that his ankles were hobbled with cuffs and a length of chain. "Aren't you a submissive?" she asked. "Why are you tying me up?"
"Miss Christobell, I've been coming here for two years, so I'm trained to perform certain tasks for the dominants. I enjoy using rope, as you can see."
He had done it with such skill, crossing her wrists and winding the rope both horizontally and vertical, that she knew that she would not get loose, nor would her circulation be blocked. It was now very apparent that he liked his work. His loincloth was bulging, and she half expected to see his erection pop out between the folds. He seemed untroubled, bidding her to follow him and setting out across a wide expanse of tarmac with a few parked vehicles, mainly cars and small vans.
He helped her down the step, for although she been tied up before she had never walked more than a few steps in a bedroom. Doubtless her lovers had noticed how, with her wrists bound behind her, her generous bust was pushed forward, but she had never looked in the mirror. Now, as she felt her nipples pressing and rubbing against the fabric of her dress, she was much more aware of the effect that a single piece of rope could have.
She was also becoming aware of the effects of not having her arms available to balance her as she walked. She felt clumsy and found it difficult to keep to a straight line. Fortunately, her escort could not walk too quickly, being limited to short strides, so there was no risk of losing her balance. After two or three minutes they entered the mouth of a very large cave, walking alongside an old tramway track, and almost immediately they turned off into an office; a chipboard structure, but well-finished inside. Christobell and the young man sat side by side in front of a desk, at which sat a much older man with a distinct air of authority. At times his attention seemed to wander and he caught his breath, or sighed, and the obvious conclusion was that he had a woman under the desk, sucking his cock.
"Christobell, it's my job to welcome you to the Pits, and to warn you of the gravity of the step you are taking," he said, a little pompously. "In this little community, there is no limit to the depths of moral turpitude, of depravity, of sexual incontinence, that you will encounter. You still have time to back out. If you do, you will never here from us again, although we cannot speak for other groups of slavers."
There was definitely a threat there. If she went home now, she would soon find herself chained in a dungeon, waiting to be sold, probably, to some foreign brothel. She had already given up all hope of turning back, and she told the man that she was willing to continue.
"Good", he said, and to the young male, "Take her next door, Boy, and fit her with proper restraints. Then she can go to the first pit. 'Christobell' is a silly name. We'll call her 'Labia', for the time being. I think the name's free at the moment."
The door to the next room was enclosed in a short metal tunnel, like those that are sometimes installed to detect metal or harmful objects, and Labia felt a moment of dizziness that passed as soon as she was aware of it. She had no means of knowing it, but at that moment she had left the Earth. The cave system was aligned to the entrance, but the underground scenery was completely different. There was no detectable difference in the gravity. Small adjustments were made to the atmosphere to ensure that visitors from Earth did not feel any different.
