EDUCATING SUSIE -- (c) 2001, Frantic ************************************************* Part One ************************************************* She didn't know why she was standing in this smoky, noisy, crowded bar with men's eyes on her breasts and their hands on her backside as she passed. She didn't know why she was wearing these clothes, skirt too short, top too tight and cut too low, shoes she could barely stand on, let alone walk in. She didn't know why, except that he had told her to. Told her what to wear, where to be, even what to drink, for God's sake, and she grimaced at the concoction in her hand. How amusing it must have been for him to imagine her asking for it - "What would you like Sweetheart?" "A large Stiff Dick" "There you go, Sugar, a large Stiff Dick for you to get your mouth around." Oh yes, hilarious. As were the predictable comments from the exclusively male clientele in the bar. "Oh, babe.. you can wrap your mouth around my stiff dick any time!" The nightmare had started yesterday morning, when he'd come up to her in the street, and said "I'll pick you up at eight tomorrow. We'll spend the long weekend at the lake." She had looked at him, incredulous. "What the hell are you talking about, asshole? I'm not spending the weekend with you." He'd smiled nastily, and held out his hand, clenched around something. "Oh, I think you will, Susie." He opened his hand and lying on his palm was a pair of diamond earrings. Her mother's diamond earrings, which she had borrowed without permission, and lost. Her mother had been furious when she had found them missing, and had called in the police. She'd fired the maid too, and the insurance payout had come through last month. Susie could only imagine her mother's reaction if the truth came out, and as for her father... she shuddered. Nothing physical - just hours and hours and weeks of "discussions". "Now," he'd said, "I could take these to your mother, and explain that I saw you drop them the night of Danny's party, when you were so drunk you couldn't even put them in your bag safely. I'm sure she'd be glad to have them back.... Or ..." "Or?" "You could be a good girl, and come with me to the lake. If you do as you're told while we're there, I'll give them back to you when we get home, and you can decide what to do with them. A fair exchange - four days of your time, and your obedience, in exchange for four thousand dollar's worth of jewellery." She'd looked at him again. Tall, thin, geeky, the boy who'd lived next door to her for the last eight years. He'd asked her out before, but she'd turned him down, harshly, scornfully. Pretty prom queens don't go out with geeks, after all. "So," he'd asked, "do we have a deal?" She had nodded. If her mother found out, her life would be a living hell. After all, she had thought, what was the worst that could happen? She'd have to spend four short days opening her legs for geeky Robert. At least none of her friends would be around to see her, and she could close her eyes and imagine it was someone she really liked; and it wasn't as if he was repulsive, he was just... nothing, really. He'd smiled. "Then I'll pick you up at eight, like I said. Wear something pretty, and don't bother to pack. I'll bring what you need. And remember, while we're there, you do as you're told." This morning, at eight, she was beside him in his car, driving up here. When they'd got to the cabin, he had opened up a suitcase and tossed her some clothes. "Put those on," he had said, "and meet me at the Woodsman Bar next door at twelve." And so, she found herself here, dressed like a cheap slut, surrounded by men who had come to spend the weekend hunting or fishing, or whatever, ordering a drink designed to humiliate her. "Very good." His voice beside her. So, she thought, he hadn't had to imagine, he'd been watching. "Now," and he gave her a ten dollar note, "why don't you go and get yourself another one of those, " he nodded at her glass, "oh, and something for me too". When he told her what he wanted she looked at him in horror. "You can't expect me to ask for that!" "But I can, and I do. The deal was that you would do what I told you." She teetered to the bar. Grinning, the barman asked "Ready for another already? You must have quite and appetite." She murmured the order. The barman's grin widened even further. "Hush gents, I want to be sure I've got this lady's requirements right. "A stiff dick, a large one, and three fingers? That's what you want Babe?" he repeated the order loudly, and an awed hush fell over the bar. Blushing to the roots of her hair she stuttered "Yes, please" into the silence. He pushed the drinks across, and said "And she asks nicely too. The perfect woman. One large stiff dick and three fingers, all for you. Get those inside you Babe, enjoy them. And let me watch, okay?" The men erupted in laughter as she made her way back to the table had sat at, her face flaming. She put the drinks on the table, and moved to sit in one of the chairs, but Robert shook his head sharply, and patted his lap. "Sit here, and put your arm across my shoulders." Reluctantly, she sat, at ninety degrees to him, so her head was really close to his. "Like this?" she asked, hesitant. "Just like that, Susie. That's very good." He passed her the glass with her drink in, and then got his own. "Drink up" he said, "quickly." He sipped at his drink as she tossed the sweet fiery liquid down her throat, then took the glass from her fingers and put it down. "Now, kiss me. And make it eager." She wanted to rebel, but the thought of what her parents would do and say to her if he showed them the earrings prevented her. Leaning in towards him she lifted her free hand to his cheek and placed a kiss on his mouth. His lips opened under hers, and she knew what he wanted. She tasted whisky on him as she slid her tongue into his mouth, and his tangled with it. It wasn't an unpleasant taste, all things considered. She felt his left hand rise to the back of her head, holding her into the kiss, and then, to her horror he lifted his right hand, and gently clasped her breast, squeezing it and stroking across the nipple with his thumb, through the thin, clinging lacy top he had had her wear. She wriggled, trying to escape, but his hand just tightened, and she felt him harden under her as her arse moved against him. Worse, as his stroking continued, her traitorous nipple rose to his touch, and she felt a warmth begin at her groin. He broke the kiss, but still his hand stroked and he looked deep into her eyes, and smiled. "Well, well, it seems you like this, doesn't it?" he asked, holding her fast onto him with his left hand at her waist, while he rolled the taut nub of flesh between his thumb and forefinger bringing it even more erect. She shook her head, and hissed "No!" at him, but he kept smiling. "Good girls don't tell lies, Susie. Lies are bad, and get punished." He lifted his hand away from the breast, and for a moment she was relieved, until it moved to the buttons of the top. She could see every eye in the place turned to them as he unfastened one... two... three... buttons and slipped his hand inside the fabric onto her naked flesh. Already sensitised by his insistent caresses, the skin burned sweetly, and it was all she could do to keep from gasping out as heat and wetness blossomed between her thighs. He whispered harshly in her ear as a finger circled round and round her nipple, "Don't hold back sweet Susie. I'm warning you, if you lie to me again, I swear I'll undo every button on this shirt and open it wide so that these guys can feast their eyes on your tits as I fondle them. Do you understand?" She gave the tiniest nod, and as he caressed her, he asked again, "You like it, don't you Sweet Susie? My hand on your tit makes you hot, and wet." And, scared he'd make good on his threat, she whispered "Yes." "Say it!" he ordered. "It makes me hot." She moaned a little, her breath coming faster as his hand tightened, still stroking. "It makes you want me, doesn't it? Say it!" "Yes! Yes, I want you, okay?" He looked in her eyes again, slipping his hand out of her shirt and doing up the buttons. "Stand up," he ordered, "take my hand, and lead me back to the cabin. Unless you want me to take you here, of course, I'd be happy to oblige if you do..." She almost jumped out of his lap, not sure that he would do what he said, but not sure enough that he wouldn't to risk it. And then they were in the cabin. He sat on a chair, not touching her, and his eyes looked at her coldly. "It's not difficult to turn you on, is it Susie? I'm almost disappointed." She looked at him, confused. She had thought he wanted her. She didn't understand. "What do you want?" she asked. "Strip for me. Take your clothes off slowly. Leave your stockings and shoes on. Be provocative, sweet girl, put on a show." Her blue eyes widened. She had no idea what to do, had never even thought of doing anything like this. On the rare occasions she had let a man fuck her, he had undressed her gently, reverently. But Robert's eyes were so hard, she didn't dare deny him. And they had made a deal. Almost of their own accord, her hands went to the buttons of her shirt and she swayed gently from side to side as she unfastened each button carefully. When it was completely undone she opened it wide before letting it slip from her shoulders to lie crumpled on the floor. His tongue snaked out to lick his lips as he looked at the fullness of her large young breasts, the pink tips crinkled and tight with excitement and the frightened desire that she wanted desperately to suppress. They jutted towards him as she reached behind her to unzip the tight skirt. She had to shimmy a bit to push the skirt off her hips and she heard him sigh as the breasts jiggled with the motion. Suddenly, as she stepped forward and away from the skirt, she caught sight of herself in the mirror. She flushed with shame as she saw the blonde hair mussed and fluffed around her head, the naked breasts with the nipples standing proud and hard, the long legs in dark stockings tapering to six inch fuck-me shoes and the clear, unmistakeable damp patch that spread across the lacy panties that he had given her to wear. And worst of all was the look on her face. Glazed, mouth parted, desperate, wanting. She looked like a whore, she thought. She felt like a whore. His voice called her back to herself. "Take the panties off Susie." She could only obey, sliding them down the silk covered legs and stepping out of them. "Now, come here. Walk slowly" And she was standing in front of him, close but not touching, as his eyes travelled up and down her body, drinking in the sight. "My god, you're lovely," he murmured, "lovely, and mine. Lift your breasts Susie. Stroke them, and offer them to me." "Why am I doing this?" she thought as she brushed her fingers sensuously over the skin of her cupped the fullness in her hands and leaned forward to brush his lips with her nipple, "Surely 'do as you're told' doesn't go this far..." but as his mouth closed around one tender pink bud, she stopped thinking at all and suddenly her whole being was centred on the demanding sucking. The rhythmic tightening, the way the nipple slid past his lips into the wetness of his mouth, the way his tongue pressed and flickered against the tenderness were suddenly all she wanted, all she had ever wanted. Maybe it was the combination of lust and shame, but she had never felt like this before. She whimpered loudly as tongue and teeth worked on her and she was only aware of the hand stroking up her leg as it passed the stocking top and caressed the bare flesh of her thigh. She shifted one leg outwards, to offer his hand better access, and whimpered as it found the folds of her cunt, which were already slick with her wetness. She was lost, abandoned, and as three long fingers slid inside her she rocked her hips back and forth to take them in, and to rub her clit against the heel of his hand. Dimly she realised that she was giving him everything he wanted, without him even having to ask, but she was unable to resist the urging of her body. The feeling was incredible. She was, moving automatically, fucking his fingers, trying to draw them deeper inside her as his mouth sucked at her, and she cried out as his teeth closed on her nipple. He thrust his fingers deep, again and again, and he released her tit to laugh delightedly. There was as much humiliation as pleasure in the climax that rocked her then, wave after wave of heat breaking over her each time his hand pressed in. Finally, he stopped, leaving her shuddering. "Well done, sweet thing." He murmured as he stood. "You came very prettily, very prettily indeed." He glanced at his watch. "I thought it would take longer than this. It's only 1.30." She hung her head, but he put a hand under her chin, tipping her head up to look into his eyes, and she could smell her sex on his fingers. As she looked at his face, so familiar, so despised, until today, she wondered how she could ever have found him pitiful. Pitiless was closer. "Look at me." He demanded. He didn't speak again, as he removed his clothes, swiftly, efficiently. Then he was naked and, she could see his cock, erect. Erect, and, she swallowed, the largest she had ever seen, by some way. Once again, he sat on the chair. Still unspeaking. "What now?" She asked him, flatly. She knew it didn't matter. She knew that at this moment, whatever he wanted, she would give him, without resistance. He was in total control. He put his hands on her hips and pulled her towards him, silently, pulling still as she reached the chair, nodding as she spread her legs to stand astride the chair. That cock, huge, upright, was directly underneath her. "Ride me" was all he said. She lowered herself slowly, feeling him slide into her cunt, inch by inch. A quiet moan escaped his lips as he felt her sheath him, but it was drowned by her own gasp as once again her passion rose and she grew slick with new desire. He stretched her in a way she had never even dreamed of, and, as finally she had him completely inside and started to move on his cock, she gave a long sigh. His hands cupped her buttocks as she rocked, guiding her motions, but he stayed silent apart from that one moan. Silent, controlled, as she pressed tighter, moved faster, whimpering her own pleasure wantonly. Within moments she was coming again, bathing him in heat and wetness and spasming around him. She put her hands on his shoulders and, unbidden, as the climax abated, she kissed him, thrusting her tongue in and out of his mouth in time with the motion of her cunt sliding on him. She moaned against his lips, moving urgently, trying to get a reaction from him. She lifted her head and looked into his eyes, distressed. "Don't you like this? Isn't it what you wanted? Aren't I pleasing you?" she asked, still rocking and grinding against him. He smiled. "Of course you are sweetness. How could I not be pleased with such enthusiasm? Did you want me to show you how much, you please me?" He jerked his hips up suddenly, driving deep into her, making her cry out in delight. "Like this? Is that what you want?" He didn't wait for her to reply, but drove up again, simultaneously pulling her down onto him. Faster, faster he thrust and she was orgasming again, gasping "Yes" over and over, as he finally came, his climax following hers. She cried then, sobbing, tears flowing down her cheeks as she sat straddling him, his cock still buried inside her and his cum seeping out of her cunt. Sobbing with reaction to the tumultuous pleasure, with pain from the bruising fucking, and the teethmarks at her breast, sobbing with humiliation that she had surrendered to him so completely and so quickly, sobbing from fear of him -- and herself, fear of the submissiveness he stirred in her. He held her, her head cradled against her shoulder stroking her hair, allowing her the freedom to cry. Finally her tears subsided, and she took a long shuddering breath, sure now that the worst was over. She went to move off of him, to stretch her aching, cramped muscles, but his hands tightened on her, keeping her where she was. His voice was gently chiding as he said "You must ask, Susie. Ask my permission for what you want to do. Don't you understand, sweet girl? This weekend, you belong to me." Suddenly, she was angry. That was going too far. She struggled to rise, pushing against him, and she bit into his shoulder hard, and tasted blood. But he was strong and he held her fast, his hands biting cruelly into her flesh. "Stupid move," he said coldly and gave a sudden push, sending her sprawling onto the floor. She lay there, winded for a moment, her legs spread wide and still encased in stockings and heels. He stood above her, and bent down to tangle his hand in her hair. She cried in pain and kicking off the shoes, she struggled to her feet as he tugged at it sharply. She didn't dare lose her balance with him holding her hair. He held her head tipped back and pushed her towards a door, which she found opened onto a bathroom. He released her and gave her a shove. "Bathe," he commanded, and wash your hair, while I decide what to do with you." For the first time, she was truly terrified. So far she had been embarrassed, humiliated, uncomfortable and shamefully excited, but now, she was scared. She turned on the taps, letting steam fill the small room. Briefly, she toyed with the idea of trying to escape, but she was naked, and he'd left her only a hand towel, enough to dry her, but not to come close to covering her. What's more, the only place close was the bar - full of men who had seen her almost drag him off to fuck her. Defeated she lowered herself into the hot water, feeling it sting at first, letting it draw away the pain, the bruised tenderness between her legs, and lull her fears a little. She sank below the surface, wetting her hair and shampooed it, rinsed it, making sure she followed his instructions. She knew she was in trouble already, and couldn't risk making it worse. Even so, she dragged out her time alone, adding more hot water as the bath cooled, until finally he opened the door and stood there beside the bath. "Get out," he said, "You're clean now." She stood, and found he held a large towel. He wrapped it around her then guided her back to the cabin's other room. She saw he had been busy. The suitcase was stowed and there was no sign of any clothing other than what he wore, and a black garment bag hung on the handle of the wardrobe. A hairdryer and brush and assorted perfumes, make up cases and lotions were laid out on the dressing table and an open bottle of white wine, with a glass poured out of it stood on the nightstand beside the bed. He pulled out the chair in front of the dressing table and motioned her towards it. "Sit there," he said, "and dry your hair. Oh, and drop the towel. From now on you wear only what I tell you to, and when I tell you. Do you understand?" She nodded, but he lifted a hand and slapped her sharply across the face. "I said," he shouted, "do you understand? When I speak to you, you will listen, and when I ask you a question, you will answer me!" "I... I understand..." she stuttered, her cheek stinging from the blow. Hastily she pulled the towel away from her and let it drop to the floor, and sat on the chair. He sat on the bed, close beside and behind her, sipping his wine as she turned on the dryer and lifted the brush to dry her hair. She could see him in the mirror, and she saw his eyes fall to the reflection of her naked breasts which were lifted by the arms raised to her head, and moving gently with the motion of the brush. He watched, and smiled, and said nothing for possibly twenty minutes. Then she found his eyes on hers in the mirror, and she couldn't look away, as he started to speak, in a conversational tone. "You're a very pretty girl Susie," he said, "pretty face, lovely breasts," and a half smile ghosted across his face, "though I like them better now, marked with my teeth. Great legs, a sweet, tight arse, all in all very pretty. And you are a fine, fine fuck. But you are arrogant. You treat people like shit, and they don't like it. You need to be educated, and I've taken it on myself to be your teacher." "Now, to begin with, I thought you'd be a quick study. You behaved very well, you were obedient and eager to please, and I was pleased with you, I really was." He stopped and sighed. "Then, after you started so well, after you had applied yourself to my comfort so very nicely, you had to go and spoil it." He leaned forward and took the hairbrush out of her hand. "Stand up." He rapped out the command, and she almost leapt to her feet. His hand shot out and locked around her wrist and pulled her towards him. Then, grasping her waist he gave a complicated little twist that brought to lie across his knees, face downwards. "I'm afraid," he said, and his voice even sounded regretful, "that you will have to be punished." It was only when he brought the flat back of the hairbrush down on her bare buttocks that she realised what he intended to do. Nobody had ever spanked her in her life, as far as she could remember. She cried out sharply at the hot pain, and he laughed, striking again and again. By the fifth stroke, her arse was on fire, and hot tears were falling from her eyes. Each time he made contact she yelped, but he didn't stop. Then, at the ninth blow, she suddenly twisted in embarrassment as she realised that the heat wasn't confined to her backside. The shame she had felt at her surrender earlier was nothing to the humiliation of realising that she was growing wet from this treatment, and that her juices were tricking over her thigh onto his leg. Smack! Smack! Smack! She stopped counting the blows and writhed in his grasp, trying to hide her body's betrayal of her. Trying to hide the fact that this outrage had brought her perilously close to orgasm. Trying and failing. He knew, and wouldn't stop until close was there. Then as she cried out in mingled pain and delight, as suddenly as the first blow had fallen, he tossed the brush aside and dropped his hand to stroke the blazing flesh of her buttocks very, very gently. Underneath her belly, she was acutely aware of the hardness of his cock, pressing into her flesh through his jeans. "Are you sorry,?" he asked, and his voice was a caress. "Are you sorry for being bad?" "I'm sorry," she sobbed. "I'm so sorry" but she didn't know if she was apologising for her rebellion or her climax. "Are you ready to make it up to me, and be my sweet Susie again?" "Y... yes. I... I...." What could she say, other than yes, when she reacted to even his bows with pleasure? "Then go lie on the bed, love, face down." "Like this?" she asked as she complied. "Al... most" She thought she could hear a smile in his voice. "But I think you should lift that pretty, sore little arse up a bit, and tell me again how sorry you are." She heard a zipper being pulled as she obeyed "I'm sorry I was bad, I'm sorry, I'll be good..." "Do you want to make it up to me, sweet Susie, my sweet girl?" So insistent his voice, and so tender, and she was lying there, her arse in the air, and her whole body on fire. "Yes, oh yes, let me make it up to you, I'll do anything, I'll be good..." She was still babbling as he came up behind her and slammed his cock into her, not slowly but hard, hard, hard, invading every part of her body and soul as he asked her, "Is that what you want, sweet girl, are you happy to please me?" and she was pushing back against him, telling him it was so good and she wanted it, wanted him so badly, and begging him to approve, and please... please... please... she wanted so much to please him. She knew when he came of course, but only dimly as she spiralled once again on her own guilty ride of pleasure and shame. As she came down, he rolled her over and leaned on one elbow above her, playing idly with her breasts, grinning to hear her whimper. "You really are a hot little slut, aren't you my sweet? A hot, horny, willing little slut." he asked as she arched up to press into his hand. "I... no ... well not before, never before, never like this." It was true, she realised. She hadn't even had an orgasm before, except at her own hands. Then he came along, bullied and beat her, terrified her, and she found herself coming like an express train. "So, it's me you're hot for, is it?" "I... Robert.. I've never felt like this before." He put a hand to her mouth. "Don't call me Robert." He said. "Robert's a name you've always used scornfully, and I don't like to hear it coming from your lips." Her voice was small as she said, "I'm sorry. What should I call you?" He considered a while before replying. "When we're out, you can call me 'baby'. When we're alone, say 'sir' or 'my lord'" For a moment she the herself she knew again, incredulous, outraged. "My lord?" she gasped with a laugh. His hand gripped her soft breast tight, suddenly, making her yelp in pain. "Yes, 'Lord' for preference. You are mine, my servant, my slut, and I am your lord. My whim is the most important thing in the world to you. Understand?" His nails dug into her flesh, cruelly hurting, and she nodded, and gasped out. "Yes, yes, I understand." "Say 'Yes, my lord'" he insisted. "Yes, my lord, I understand." He released her and smiled. "Good girl." He smiled at her, and let go, lifting his hand to stroke her cheek. "It's nearly time for us to eat, and I'm all sticky from fucking you so obligingly," he went on. "Why don't you put that pretty mouth to some use other than talking, and clean me up?" It didn't even cross her mind not to do as he said. She pushed herself down the bed and, obediently, almost reverentially, she closed her lips around his shaft and laved it gently with her tongue. He held her there, and she worked her mouth back and forth along him, conquering her gag reflex as he pushed her down to take more of him between her lips. She was perversely proud and delighted to please him when his cock stirred with desire under her attention, twitching into life and filling her mouth, and throat completely. Her hand slipped between her legs to caress herself to climax while she licked and sucked at him. When at last his spunk filled her mouth she shuddered, and swallowed it like a benison, looked up and smiled. "Thank you my dear lord, " she whispered, and was rewarded with his smile. And it was only six o'clock on the first day. ************************************************* Part Two ************************************************* Susie realised, as knelt on the floor, as Robert had told her to, while he dressed, that he didn't look geeky at all to her, not any more. His thinness wasn't weak, but toned, his pallor hid enormous strength. In a dark suit and white shirt he looked distinguished, intelligent... sexy. She watched his movements as he straightened his tie. He was done, and he motioned her to rise. "You'll be wearing this" he said, passing her the garment bag. She unzipped it and revealed most beautiful dress she had ever seen. Scarlet silk, falling almost to the floor but split to the hip on both sides. Spaghetti straps and a straight, low neckline. She could tell from the fabric that it would hug every curve and thanked heavens that she wasn't carrying an ounce of fat. "What underwear?" she asked. "None. Just this, and those shoes." He pointed to another pair of six inch pumps with ankle straps in the same red as the dress. She raised her eyebrows, but knew better than to comment. "Make yourself up first" he commanded, and "I'll put on your shoes." He knelt to strap on the pumps as she applied first a dusting of subtle eye make up and then opened up the lipstick. Nothing subtle there, she thought, looking ruefully at the vivid red that matched the outfit. She covered her lips and looked startled at her reflection. That bright mouth altered her face entirely. Made her look older, experienced, and, frankly, ungry. She put on the dress. It slipped over her body like a caress and her nipples hardened at the sliding softness. She turned to look at her reflection. She had been right she thought, it clung to her thighs falling to a v at her crotch when she moved, and the taut peaks of her breasts were clearly outlined. She would give every man within 50 yards a hard-on dressed like this she realised, and she realised she looked ready, able and willing to cure every one of them too. She looked like a hooker, a very expensive, very competent, hooker. He came up behind her and fastened a black leather choker, with a silver disc hanging from it, around her neck. She heard the catch snap shut as someone knocked on the door. He went to answer it, as she leaned forward to look more closely at the disc. She saw the word "Susie" engraved on it, with a tiny diamond dotting the "I" and smiled. A long low whistle brought her upright and she turned to see the barman from the Woodsman, looking her up and down. "Come here Susie" Robert commanded, "And meet Jeff. I didn't introduce you earlier, but he's my cousin." She walked over, surprised to find that she could balance on the heels easily, and held out her hand. Jeff was as tall as his cousin, but chunkier, and he lifted her hand to his lips. Then, to her surprise and horror, he carried it down and pushed it against an unmistakeable erection. Grinning as she snatched it away, he looked her in the eyes and said "Two compliments, honey. Be grateful." She looked at him to see his reaction, but he was laughing. "Jeff will be driving us to dinner, Susie. Be polite to him, there's a good girl." "Yes, baby, whatever you say," "Can I see that choker?" Jeff asked. She nodded and he lifted the disc admiringly, then gave a crack of laughter as he turned it over. "Owner: Robert Jones. If lost, call...." He read aloud. "Not a choker, I see, but a bitch- collar." She turned sharply to glare accusingly at Robert, but he took her hand with a smile. "Well, it's appropriate," he almost purred, patting her hand "you ARE a bitch. But you're MY bitch, and I'd hate anyone to think you were a stray when you're responding to my training so well. And you are responding, aren't you my sweet?" She wanted to snarl, to deny it angrily, but found herself replying meekly, "I'm trying baby, I'm trying to be good." Jeff cackled and asked, "And is she good, Rob? She certainly looks it." She didn't know why she should have thought it, but she had assumed her humiliation was over, after the events of the afternoon. She had assumed that her obedience would earn her gentler treatment. Her illusions were soon shattered when he spoke though. His smile broad, he said, "When I've finished with her, she'll be perfect. She's already a wonderful ride, though, I must admit. I've never fucked anyone as hot and eager. How often did you come this afternoon Susie-love? Five times, six?" For a moment, she said nothing, then he barked at her "Answer!" "I.. I lost count." Jeff laughed, but Robert didn't. He walked over and slapped her face, hard. "You're lying." He said harshly. "Think about it. List them, one by one. DO it, and describe the context for Jeff." Tears stinging her eyes, and her face blazing, she obeyed, not sure what he would do if she didn't. "Once, as you finger fucked me..." He stopped her. "As you fucked yourself on my fingers. Start again, and be precise Susie." She began again. "Once as I fucked myself on your fingers. Twice more as I rode you. Once while you spanked me. Once as you fucked me, after." "And?" "And again as I gave you head. When you came, I came. I played with myself." She was looking down, and she saw Jeff's hand stroking his cock through his trousers as she recited. The humiliation was enormous. "So. Six." Jeff whistled again. "My god, Rob, if she's THAT hot, maybe we should just stay in and give her more of what she so clearly craves. I'll be happy to help." Laughing, Robert replied. "I'm drained coz, I need to eat to keep my strength up. And look at her, something this pretty should be shown off, don't you think?" He placed a hand in the small of her back and guided her to the door, leaning forward to whisper in her ear. "You lied Susie. I had to correct you. Not a good start to the evening. I suggest you behave from now on." Dread gripped the pit of her stomach as she sat beside him in the back seat of Jeff's car. The drive couldn't have been more than five minutes, but it seemed to go on forever, as she listened to Rob describing everything he'd done to her like she wasn't there - except that his hand on her lying on her thigh, circling under the split in the dress made it clear he knew she WAS there. Knew, and was enjoying treating her like some kind of toy. "She was gushing by the tenth stroke, I tell you," he said "and then, when I was done, she lay there, lifted her arse up in the air, and begged me to fuck her." "Begged? What did she say? Give me the words man." She knew it was coming. It was inevitable. He turned to her and said, "Why don't you tell him Susie? It sounds better in your voice, I'm sure. You don't need to use the exact words, as long as the tone is right, but give Jeff an idea." "Please baby, don't make me..." He just stared at her. Merciless. The silence lengthend, and the hand on her thigh tightened cruelly. She made her voice breathless, desperate, knowing that nothing less would do, and started to speak, imitating the words she had said earlier: "Oh yes, that feels good.... please... please..... I want that...... I want you...." She felt the car pull over and Jeff turned to watch her as she went on. "please... I'll be good .... I'll do whatever you want .... I want you now .....I want your cock in me ..... please ...OH GOD, PLEASE FUCK ME!" Her voice had been rising and she was screaming now, just as she'd screamed and begged earlier. Robert held his hand out to stop her, and Jeff let his breath go on a long "Sheeeeee-it. Rob, you lucky bastard. She's hot with a capital 'H'. I'm going to be hearing those words all night - I hope I can keep at least some of my mind on work." "And speaking of work, now I've got you to where you're going, I'd best be on my way there." She realised that when he had pulled over, it was into the car-park of a restaurant, and devoutly hoped that no-one had passed the car during her performance. Robert helped her out of the car, and instructed her to thank Jeff - with a kiss. As she leaned in the window, the barman reached up and gave her breast a gentle squeeze, and answered her "Thank you Jeff" with "You're welcome Sugar. I'll look forward to the next time." Heads turned as they walked in to a brightly lit dining room, and she was sure it was no accident that they were led over to a table in the centre of the room, where everyone could see them. As the waiter went to hand her a menu, Rob waved it away, saying "The lady will have clear soup while I have my main course, no dessert. I'll start with prawns, then rare steak." He ordered a whisky, but Susie said nothing, knowing that he would order for her, and hoping that if she didn't act independently he would pass on the chance to humiliate her. She let out a breath she didn't know she was holding when he said, "And a white wine". Relief was short-lived though. When his starter arrived he smiled at her. Unwrapping a breadstick he murmured gently, "Play with that while I eat. Be.... um..... nice to it, okay" She could have pretended she didn't know what he meant, but she did, and she knew that he'd only give more specific instructions if she didn't do what he wanted. She had already upset him this evening, and she understood instinctively that she would have to behave exactly as he wanted until they got home if she was to escape serious retribution. She put the breadstick to her mouth, and closed her lips around it, and sucked gently but obviously, sliding more past the scarlet portal as it started to dissolve. A man on the next table gave an audible groan, and beside her Rob whispered "Good girl" It was surreal, she thought. She was sitting in the middle of a good restaurant, fellating a breadstick for the amusement of one man and to titillate the rest. Slowly she withdrew a little of its length, then slid more into her mouth knowing that she was being watched avidly, and hungrily. She made it last the whole of his first course pushing the final morsel into her mouth and sucking on her fingertip as he put his cutlery on the plate. She heard sighs from several places, but it was at Robert she looked, hoping to see approval, and delighted at the smile on his face. "Perfect." He commented, as the waiter replaced his starter plate with their main courses. "May I ask you something?' she said, cursing the hesitancy of her voice, its smallness and meekness. "Certainly." "Why am I not to eat a full dinner?" He smiled. His voice was lecturing. "Firstly, because I choose not, and you need to understand that when you are with me MY wishes are paramount, yours are unimportant. Secondly, because I want you to truly know what being hungry is like, in every way. And finally, because a heavy meal would make you sleepy, and, sweet Susie, I want you awake, alert and attentive. Now, eat your soup." "Yes baby," and an angel prompted her to add "thank you." An approving light glowed in his eyes, and he patted her hand. "You're learning. Well done." She sipped slowly, watching him devour his steak. Something deep inside her was still crying out against this treatment, and her meek acceptance of it. Screaming abuse at her when she felt pleasure at his praise. "This is Robert Jones! The neighbourhood geek! Why should you care what he thinks about you?" but another voice was replying calmly "He is my lord, my master. My pleasure is to please him." She was confused, didn't know which was the real her, and feared deeply that it was the second. Her confusion increased when, as they drank coffee after the meal, he slipped his hand onto her leg under the table. Involuntarily, it seemed, her thighs fell open, allowing his fingers to reach all of her he wanted to take, and again she moistened in anticipation of her touch, and she heard herself whisper "Please". Until today, she had given her body like a favour, but he was treating it like it belonged to him as a right, and she was not only allowing him, but asking him to. And, as his fingers played over the nakedness she heard herself speak again, saying "Oh, thank you, baby" like a prayer. It was if someone else was operating her body, someone weak, and submissive. His expression was smug as he moved his hand away, leaving her wanting, unfulfilled. "More later, I think" he commented, as she sighed in frustration. He waved over the waiter, and asked for the bill, and a taxi. As they sat in the back seat of the taxi, he put an arm around her and she snuggled against his chest. With a finger, he turned up a chin and dropped his mouth to cover hers with a kiss that was gentle and tender and full of promise. She felt it like a blessing and shyly darted her tongue between his lips. His arm tightened on her and the kiss deepened and it didn't even occur to her to protest the hand slipping the strap off her shoulder and pushing the silk away to uncover her breast. She simply let pleasure wash over her as he teased and pinched and stroked, dancing her tongue around his. She could hear the ragged breath of the driver, was dimly aware of greedy eyes fixed on her flesh in the mirror, but it meant nothing to her while she was being kissed l like this. The taxi pulled up in front of the cabin, and Rob swiftly rearranged the dress before helping her out. He unlocked the door, and gestured her inside, but didn't follow. "Take off your clothes," he commanded, "and hang the dress up." She rushed to obey, her body crying out with desire for him. For his kiss, for his touch. "Yes, baby" she said. "What did you call me? We're home now Susie, remember." "Yes, my lord, I'm sorry, my lord." She cursed herself for forgetting, and felt tears fill her eyes as she bent to unstrap the heels she was wearing. _My God_, the part of her that was the old Susie said in her brain, _how pathetic_. She heard a click, saw a flash, and looked up to see that he had lifted his camera and photographed her. The mirror showed her how the shot would look, the slope of her back, blonde hair sweeping the floor, tits hanging, full and unbound, her long slim leg rising from the red spike heel straight to the highest point of her body, a perfect, rounded, naked arse. A wanker's dream pose. "Lovely." He smiled. "The first of many lovely holiday snaps, I'm sure." He beckoned her. And she came to him, to stand naked and beautiful in front of him. "Kneel." He commanded. She knelt, and silently unfastened his trousers and was pressing a kiss on his cock, when suddenly a blow to the side of her head knocked her reeling to the floor. "What do you think you're doing?" he demanded. "Did I tell you to do that? Did you ask my permission?" "N.. No my lord, but I thought you wanted...." "It isn't your place to think Susie. Your place is to obey me, to serve me. It's good that you want to please, but it's not your place to decide how to do so. If you think you can be of service, you ASK." "I'm sorry, my lord." "Sorry isn't good enough Susie. That was one false step too many. You have lied tonight, and tried to deny me. You forgot the proper form of address, and now you even dared to act on your own initiative. It won't do Susie. I have no alternative, I must punish you." Her eyes darted to the hairbrush, and for a moment she wondered if unconsciously she had acted as she had so that he *would* punish her. Surely not, she thought, but her mind slipped back to the burning pain and pleasure of the afternoon ... surely not, but maybe. He looked down at her, cold fire in his eyes, and followed her glance. He shook his head, slowly. "No," he said, "not the hairbrush this time. It seems that the hairbrush wasn't enough to teach you to behave. I'm very disappointed in you. Stand up." She stood. "Go over to the foot of the bed" She went. "Bend over, and hold onto the bedstead with your hands." As she complied, he continued, "and be silent Susie. Not a sound, or things will go worse than you can possibly imagine." She knew what he was going to do as she heard him slide his belt out from his trousers, fear gripping the pit of her stomach. As the leather made first contact with her skin, a *crack* echoed around the walls of the cabin, and this time, there was no pleasure, only pain, pain, pain as he beat her, without mercy. The skin welted where the leather bit. Twelve strokes cracked, harsh and heavy, and when he had finished, the liquid that ran down her legs was blood. But she didn't make a sound. She stood, bent, shaking, clutching at the bedstead to keep her from falling, blood welling from his cuts, and from her lip where she had bitten it to keep silent. "Stand up." Still his voice was harsh. "Look at me." She raised her eyes to the bleakness of his, and the coldness of his expression hurt her more than the beating had. "I didn't want to have to do that, but you must learn who is master here, and know that I will assert that power. You WILL obey me, completely. Is that clear?" Her voice was hoarse and cracked. "Yes, my lord." "Good. Now kneel again. This time you may suck me." So she knelt, ignoring the pain and the blood, and applied herself to the task of giving him enjoyment. His hands gripped her hair as she slid her mouth along his cock, licking, sucking, caressing him with her hands and lips and tongue, even with her throat, as he pushed his whole length into her. She'd never sucked a cock so ardently as she did now, trying to communicate her craving to gratify him through every eager movement. She worked at him frantically, desperately, knowing that until he came she could not be forgiven, redeemed, and that until he smiled at her again, nothing would be right. The flickering tongue and sucking lips did their job quickly and he gasped as his semen filled her mouth, and moaned as her throat contracted to swallow. He let go of her hair, and she turned her head up, her mouth still around him, until he gave her permission to stop, determined not to anger him again, and looked into his face. There was no smile, but it was softer now, gentler. "That was well done, Susie. Your skill can't be faulted, only your attitude. Stop now, and stand." As she did, he took her gently by the arms, and leaned forward to kiss her lightly on the brow. "You are forgiven." He said, and tears slipped from her eyes, as she murmured "Thank you." At last, he smiled. "Poor little girl," he cooed. "So much to learn. But you ARE learning, my sweet Susie." "I hope so my lord" "Would you like to forget the pain?" "Y.....if that is what you want me to do." "Oh yes, you're learning." The smile was wider now. At his command, she went to the bed and laid on her back her eyes closed. At his command, she breathed deeply, at his command, she opened her legs, wide. "Have you ever been licked, little Susie?" "Once." "Did you enjoy it?" "Yes my lord." "Did the boy, enjoy it - it was a boy?" was there something in his tone to indicate he would prefer to hear it wasn't? No matter, she couldn't lie to him anyway. "Yes, and yes, he said he did." "What do you taste like?" "I.. I don't know. He didn't say." Silence. She lay there, open to his eyes, but unable to see him, listening to .... silence. "My lord?" she said nervously "You should *know* what you taste like little one." "Yes, my lord, you're right of course." "So... find out." "My lord?" "Stroke yourself Susie, arouse yourself, then, when your fingers are covered in your juices, taste, and tell me." She heard the camera click and saw the flash through her eyelids as her hand moved over her cunt, pressing at the clit, rubbing it till moisture flowed. "Click" as she slid two long fingers deep inside, 'click' as the other hand pinched and teased a nipple, 'click','click', 'click' as she lifted fingers covered in silken liquid to her mouth and sucked at them, cleaning every last trace with her tongue. Then, his voice again. "So, little Susie, what do you taste like?" "Like honey, and citrus, and a tang of salt. Strange, but... I think it's delicious." And she dared to dip her fingers again and take another sample. "Yes, quite delicious." "Shall I taste you, pretty Susie, delicious Susie? Would you like that?" "I .... I would love it, my lord, if you would. If it's what you want." She was too frightened, too wary, to express any preference solely her own after such a sound thrashing. Scared of angering him, disappointing him - she didn't know which. But fear, wariness, and reserve all fled as his mouth found her sex and his breath danced over it. Then there was only him. She gasped and arched toward him, and before he bent his head to taste her he said "This is a gift to you, be appreciative". So, as his tongue probed into every part of her, lapping at the juices that flowed like a river in flood, she thanked him for every jolt of delight, cried out her gratitude loud and clear, and, he noted, triumphant, called him _sir_, _love_, and _lord_ as she came, as if it was the most natural thing in the world. ************************************************* Part Three ************************************************* When Susie awoke in the morning, she didn't for a moment have the luxury of thinking it was all a dream, a nightmare, because she woke to agonising pain in her buttocks and cramps along her legs, still astride him, with his cock inside her. It took her a moment to remember how that had happened. But it soon came back. When he had finished licking her, which he hadn't done until his tongue had carried her through several orgasms, he had laid on his back and told her tersely to mount him. At his instruction, she had ridden him as hard as she could, grinding her clitoris onto his pelvis, taking his hands and holding them onto the swell of her breasts and bringing herself off, time after time. She had talked to him constantly too, because he had told her he wanted to hear her. "Tell me," he had said, "everything. Every feeling, every sensation. And say it loud - I want the guys in The Woodsman to share the experience." Beaten and subjugated, she wouldn't have dared to refuse, even if she had wanted to, and she had known that if it was what he wanted, then it was her desire too. And so she cried to him how good his cock felt in her cunt, how she loved the feeling of him filling her, how lucky she was that he would let her fuck him like this. She said how very grateful she was for the privilege of being allowed to ride him. She told him how hot he made her, how nobody had ever made her feel like this, how she was a slut for him, and only him, how she would do anything and everything he asked her if only he would smile at her. She told him that he had exhausted her, and begged him to come before she died from ecstasy. All this she had told him, she remembered, using the harshest, dirtiest words she knew, and as she had said it, every word had been true. It had seemed to go on for hours, and when he finally came, he simply arched up once, exploded into her, and sank almost instantly into sleep. The stinging welts on her buttocks had reminded her of how he had reacted the last time she had acted without his permission, so she was frightened to move, but she was equally scared to wake him. Finally, she had settled for leaning forward onto his chest and getting as comfortable as she could, and dozing. But sleep had restored much of the old Susie, the wilful, independent girl, and horror washed over her as she remembered. Her mind replayed her every wanton action of the day before, and the glorious pleasure that her debasement and humiliation had brought her. How could she have acted that way? The horror only intensified as it dawned on her that she had three more days of this, before she could return to normality - if she ever could. She would never be able to look him in the face again - and he had photographs! She wondered if he intended to use those to blackmail her, once she had the earrings back. She would have to sell the earrings, she thought, and use the money to leave town. He stirred beneath her and his eyes fluttered open. It seemed to take him only a moment to assess the position, and he grinned. "How convenient," he murmured, and she felt him hardening inside her. "You are ready to start straight away." And he rested his hands lightly at her waist. "Please.." She looked at him, her eyes mutely appealing for him to have mercy on her, but he chose to wilfully misunderstand. "But of course, my sweet," he said. "I'll let you fuck me. You don't have to beg *every* time, especially when you are so perfectly placed. But be gentle, my little love, I'm still a fragile from yesterday" At that moment, she hated him as much as she had ever hated anyone in her life. She felt as every part of her was either battered, bruised or sore and she had been abused, body and soul for the last 24 hours, and he lay there and laughed at her. Her hands clenched into fists, wanting to hit him hurt him.... "Susie!" His voice was harder than rock and his hands gripped her waist, "one warning only. Be good, or pay." "No choice," she thought dully, "I have no choice at all." She pushed herself upright and began to rock gently back and forth on the massive cock that filled her, fully hard now, and he crooned encouragement, and her angry thoughts turned in on herself as the friction in her cunt and her clit stimulated a treacherous dampening at her groin. "Oh God no..." she thought. "I'll do anything he asks, but please, please, don't make me LIKE it" But no god was listening. With each movement she grew wetter, and his hands found her tits and traced the firm points that tipped them, telling their tale of excitement as clearly as any words. His touch made them tingle and ache sweetly, an ache she couldn't bear, so she leaned forward to present them to his lips knowing that only he could ease it - and that it must be eased. "Better" he breathed, as his mouth claimed the hard nipple and his hungry sucking lit the inferno that consumed her. She tried to push her mind out, to focus on her anger and her hate, on her sense of abuse, but it kept spiralling back to him, and all she was conscious of was the cock she was fucking, sliding in and out of her as she moved, and the mouth pulling insistently at her breast. It seemed that these two things were all that were important in the world -- WERE her world. She was a flame and these were the fuel that fed her, and the heat burned away every emotion but passion. And then, he released his sperm into her, and his teeth bit deep. The climax that took her then was searing and shattering, and the howl of release she gave was wordless, a long keening cry that echoed deep within body and soul. She rode him like a wave as the heat slowly ebbed away and he carried her back to shore. Her eyes were full of unshed tears, and her breathing was harsh and laboured. She looked down at him, expecting to see a smile, gratification, but instead his face was a mask of stone. "Go and shower" he ordered. She obeyed him immediately, her quick movements sending twinges of pain through her abused muscles, at a loss to understand how she had failed to please him. The jets of hot water stung her into full wakefulness, and soothed the bruises, but she was careful not to luxuriate, taking only long enough to clean herself of blood, sweat and semen, before drying herself and walking back into the main room, naked. "Prepare breakfast," he told her, before he headed off to the bathroom. "For me, two eggs, three slices of bacon, rolls and butter. Warm the rolls in the oven. I like my coffee strong, and my eggs over-easy." "Yes my lord. And .. for me?" "One slice of toast, dry. A glass of water. You may have coffee if you want it. Call me when it's ready." The smell of the food was torture. Apart from the soup last night, she had eaten nothing since breakfast the following day - she glanced at the clock -- more than 24 hours ago, and she was ravenous. She set the table, placing the warm rolls in a basket and covering it with a napkin, then sliding the eggs and bacon onto a plate she had warmed. Her toast sat forlornly on another plate. There were two chairs at the table, one hard and one cushioned. She had no doubt what he expected of her, and put the plate with toast on the table by the hard chair. His plate she placed in front of the cushioned one, and then pulled it away from the table, standing beside it with the coffee-pot. "My lord, your breakfast is ready." She called. He came and sat, dressed, but his hair still damp. He motioned her to pour coffee for him, and she was acutely aware of her nakedness as she bent and her breasts swung forward. "May I sit? Please?" He nodded curtly and she sat beside him, suppressing a whimper of pain as her raw buttocks made contact with the unyielding wood. He swallowed a mouthful of food and spoke as she went to lift the toast to her mouth. "That last orgasm, Susie. I think it was the most powerful you've ever had. Am I right?" She dropped the toast back on the plate. "Yes." "Yes what?" "Yes my lord, it was the most powerful, the most profound." He nodded. "Eat your toast Susie," he told her, and gave his attention to his plate. The dry bread was cold now and it lay like ashes on her tongue, but she ate every piece and washed it down with hot coffee. To her surprise, she found that, insubstantial and unappetising as it was, it deadened her pangs of hunger When he was finished he stood. Instantly, she sprang to her feet. "Go and kneel on the floor, at the foot of the bed," he commanded. When she had done so, he picked up the camera. "Put your hands on your thighs, tilt your head to look up at me, and smile" Several clicks and flashes later he put the camera aside and opened the door, wide. A draught blew over her, and she knew she was exposed to anyone walking past, but she kept her eyes on his face, waiting for instructions. I'm going out to buy supplies and a paper. Wait for me like that. You may rest on your heels, if you wish." And he was gone, the door closing behind him. In the silence that fell after his departure, it crossed her mind that while she was alone she could find her own clothes, dress, and leave - if only he would give her time. If she faced her parents' anger she could become herself again, reclaim her pride, and her self-respect. He had the car keys, but she could hitch, hide if he came after her. It would be so easy. So very easy. It might also be the only chance he gave her to escape. All this she thought, but still she knelt. For two hours, she knelt, and she waited. He did return at last, his arms full of bags. She knelt as he put them down, leaving the door gaping open and knelt as he closed the door, pulled up a chair and sat on it, about a yard from her. As if he had never been gone, he took up the conversation from the breakfast table, saying, "We agreed that your orgasm this morning was the best you'd ever had, didn't we? Yet you fought it. Why?" "I... I was angry, my lord." Her voice was shaking. His eyebrows rose. "Angry? With me?" "With you and with myself." "Why?" "You, for using me harshly. Myself for letting you." His eyes caught hers and held them. "You didn't just _let_ me Susie, and you know it. You've responded to my 'use' of you at every level. We both know that. We both know that nothing and nobody has ever excited you the way I have. Don't we?" She wanted to look away, to drop her eyes, but she couldn't. Her "Yes" was a whisper. She realised then what he had done when he went out. That he had allowed her space not to escape, but to emphasise that she was a willing participant in her own humiliation. To fully understand that while she had never felt this bad before, she had equally never felt so good. To acknowledge that winning his approval was the greatest achievement in her life, and carried the greatest rewards, as failure carried the harshest punishment. To accept that she could leave, if she wanted to, but that she *didn't* want to. And he had known it. He knew that when he returned, she would be here, waiting for him to use her as he chose. That whatever she wished she was, her illusion of independence couldn't compete with the lust that having him dominate her aroused. He sighed heavily. "But knowing that, still you fought. What am I going to do with you?" In a voice that trembled, she said "P...punish me?" He shrugged. "Perhaps. Later. First I think I'll see what last night's punishment and this morning's reflection has done. If you behave well today, maybe we can avoid punishing you again. Stand up." Standing, she asked "How may I please you my lord?" And at last, he smiled. "We're going out Susie. You'll please me by following my orders and instructions promptly, and completely. Make me proud of you." She inclined her head. Going to the wardrobe, he selected her clothes for the day. First, for her feet. Like everything else she had worn, the boots he passed her had high spike heels, as she slipped her feet into them and zipped them up, she found that they reached to just above her knee, and fitted tightly to her calves. He instructed her to stand, clad only in the boots, and passed her a hairbrush for her blonde mane, which was tangled from all her wild thrashing. As she tamed it to silkiness, he walked around her, taking photographs of the nude body above the tight black boots. The next thing he brought out was a long, thin strap of leather, and as he walked towards her she realised numbly that it was a leash. This he fastened to the choker collar at her neck. Holding the end in his hand he stood back and studied her. He sighed. "Beautiful," he murmured. "I wish I could take you out like that, but we'd be arrested." He lifted the camera, clicked it four times, and then he reached into the cupboard again "So, I guess this is the next best thing." 'This' was a dress of black leather, if anything so skimpy could be described as a dress, with a zip running from hem to neckline, its fastener a large silver ring. She pulled it closed, not asking for underwear, knowing that it if he intended her to wear any, he would have given it to her. The skirt was scandalously short, barely skimming the top of her thighs, but the dress was so tight that had it been any longer she would have found walking difficult. A halter fastened behind her neck, and the back dropped away sharply to the point where her buttocks curved out, moulding like a second skin to the perfect roundness of her arse. It seemed that little more than the nipple was covered on each breast, though the globes were forced together into a magnificent cleavage by the tight black leather and the ring of the zip nestled at the base of the 'V' they formed like an invitation. She reddened her lips with the same bright scarlet she had used the night before, and he nodded in approval. She was a fantasy, a walking wet-dream. "Now, before we go out, there are some new rules." He told her. "I think I was too lenient in my requirements last night, allowing you to call me baby. While we are out, you will call me 'master' and if you have cause to speak of me, you will refer to me as 'my beloved master'. Everyone we meet, you will call either sir, or ma'am, regardless of age, occupation or any other factor. You will use these terms in every sentence you speak. You are to treat everyone with deference and respect, they are your betters. Answer questions put to you fully, but otherwise stay silent unless I tell you to speak. You will, of course, follow any and all orders I give you. Do you understand all that?" "Yes my lord." "Good." His voice was kind. "You'll find Susie, that if you really allow yourself to surrender to me, completely give up your control, you'll discover something worth much more than everything you lose. But I think that may take a little time. Still, we can make a start." Then he was suddenly prosaic. "Now, do you need to relieve yourself before we leave? It will be your last chance for some time." "Yes, please." It was good that she hadn't cherished any hope of him releasing the leash he held, to allow her privacy, as she would have been disappointed. But she had anticipated that he would want to reinforce her position of submission, so wasn't surprised when he walked with her into the bathroom, waited for her to finish, and then instructed brusquely "wash". She wriggled, pulling the dress as far down as it would go, although that was hardly far, and asked him timidly "Where are we going my lord?" "We'll start next door," he replied. "I saw Jeff while I was out, and he told me he'd spent most of last night making up a drinks menu, just for you. Jeff has quite an imagination, so I'll enjoy seeing what he's dreamed up for you to ask him for. After that, we'll just see where the day leads us." He picked up the camera as they left. As they reached the door of the bar, Robert stepped ahead of her. "I'll go first" he said. "You'll know when I want you to follow. He entered, and she waited until the choker tugged at her throat. He was winding the leash around his hand, she saw, emphasising his ownership. Although, at eleven, the bar had only just opened, it was already crowded, and once again, Susie saw that she was the only woman present. She wondered if the men used hunting and fishing to escape their wives and their lives, just to drink with their buddies. Whistles and catcalls greeted the picture she presented, and she blushed hotly as Robert led her through the mass of men right to the far end of the bar. He dug in his pocket for money, and as he pulled out a roll of notes, he scattered change on the floor into the corner of the bar. "Pick that up for me Susie," he said casually. She could crouch, she knew. But this was a test, she was aware, and she was sure that doing that would be a failure, a score against her. Slowly, she bent forward from the waist, feeling the micro-skirt rise up to expose her arse, with the marks of his belt branded on it, to the men clustered round. "Oh sweet Jesus," one voice muttered awed behind her as she stepped forward to pick up the last coin, and she knew that her naked pussy too must have been briefly visible with that movement. She straightened, careful not to hurry, and handed the coins back, murmuring "Master," as she did so, and was rewarded with a smile. "Well, hello Robert. Hello Susie," Jeff greeted them, "And don't you look... spectacular this morning Sugar. I asked Robert if I could see more of you and this is ...so much more." His grin was huge. "How was your night?" "It was," she tried to think of a word that Robert would appreciate, "indescribable sir, like nothing I've ever known before." "Sir? I thought I was Jeff? What changed?" "My beloved master thinks I don't show my betters enough respect, sir. He commanded me to be more polite." "It's nice to see a girl with respect." A voice behind her commented, "almost as nice as it is to hear one with a healthy appreciation of a cock and a good fucking." She was momentarily confused until Jeff said "I turned the juke box off last night. The song you were singing was so much sweeter, and it went on so LONG! We all enjoyed the listening to it, didn't we guys?" Assent echoed from all sides as again her face flamed. Robert's voice was calm as he commented "Girls have to be taught to sing like that, but in the end, they are grateful for the lessons, aren't they Susie-love?" "Yes master," she replied, "I'm very grateful for your instruction master." "Are those stripes on the little girl's backside part of the instruction, son?" a middle aged man asked. Robert nodded. The man turned to her. "And you're grateful for THAT, girlie?" "I was disobedient, sir, I needed to be corrected. I'm grateful to be shown the error of my ways." She marvelled at how clear her voice was, and how sincere her tone as she spoke words that threatened to choke her. The man looked at Robert admiringly. "Say son," he grinned, "you wouldn't care to give me a few training tips I could use on my wife, would you?" Everyone laughed, and into the laughter Jeff spoke. "Here's the cocktail list, Honey. I love having women in the bar, they order such interesting things. Why don't you study that, awhile, while I pour your _master_ here a beer?" Susie murmured "Thank you, sir," earning herself another approving nod and turned her attention to the list she had been given. Robert hadn't been kidding about Jeff's imagination. The drinks were ordinary, and, she noticed, all non- alcoholic, but the names he'd dreamed up were shocking. Coffee was listed as "hot cock", orange juice "a ride to remember" and so on. Her eyes widened as the flights of fantasy got wilder, culminating in ice cream soda - "a sweet creamy pussy". There was nothing on the list that wouldn't make her sound like a slut when she ordered it. Of course. "So," Jeff returned, "what strikes your fancy Susie?" "I'd like," she swallowed "ten throbbing inches, please, Sir" That was what he'd called a Coke. "And there's nothing I'd like to give you more," he replied to gales of laughter. "You, and all of us," piped up the voice of a boy further down the bar, who didn't look to be more than fourteen. His father cuffed him good- naturedly, but Robert whispered. "Thank him for the compliment." and she could do nothing but look at the child and say clearly for all to hear "Thank you for saying so, sir." Grinning Robert held out his hand, with her leash looped negligently over it, and took the list from her. He glanced down and lifted her eyes to hers. "You know," he said, "I can't see anything on this list you wouldn't enjoy. We'll have to see how many we can work our way through this weekend." The blush had stayed on her face, but now she felt the blood drain away. While the men in the bar might think he was talking about drinks, she had seen the list and was by no means certain he wasn't talking literally. If he was, she gulped at the Coke, then there would be nothing left of her pride by Monday evening. She had dared to hope that the novelty of her presence would wear off, with time, and the men would go back to their groups and their conversations, but it was soon clear that Robert wasn't going to let that happen, and she suspected that Jeff had been enrolled to help ensure that she stayed the centre of attention. Although, to be honest, she thought ruefully, the chance of escaping that had been slim to start with, dressed (or undressed) as she was. "You know Rob," Jeff was saying, his voice pitched to carry, "Even after listening to her in the car last night, I couldn't believe that Susie was REALLY that eager, till I heard her performance later. I have to say, I was impressed, seriously" Robert smiled, and said "It was impressive from where I was too Coz. Very." And a voice from the crowd said "I'll bet." Robert gestured to a table not far away, with two chairs. "Can you get someone to take over there and join me?" Jeff glanced around, then waved to a short stocky man in a plaid shirt, who came over immediately. "Yes boss?" He said. So, Jeff was the owner, Susie thought. "Take this shift would you? I have..." he glanced at Susie "...better things to concentrate on, and I'll make it worth your while." "Sure boss," the man said, raking his eyes up and down her lasciviously, "I can see why you'd want to. I can see that real clearly." Jeff ducked out from behind the bar and picked up the drinks, carrying them over to the table, and sitting in the chair which had its back to the room, leaving the one opposite, facing towards the door and the crowd to Robert, who sat, motioning Susie to stand beside him. She did so, silently, placing her feet just a little apart, to keep her balance on the precarious heels. This brought Jeff's eyes in a direct line with the hem of Susie's skirt, a view which clearly pleased him immensely. His tongue came out to moisten his lips, lips that she noticed were very much like Robert's. So fixed was her attention on Jeff, that she jumped a little when she felt Robert brush a finger up lightly up the inside of her thigh from the top of her boot towards the spot that held Jeff's gaze. The touch was like a shock which pulsed through her, causing that familiar tightening at her breast and that instant dampness between her legs . A whimper escaped from her lips, and because nobody was talking everyone heard it clearly. Eyes found the hand and several men, including Jeff, groaned as they saw a trickle of her juices escape and run down each thigh. Jeff's voice was tight as he spoke. "There goes that song again." Then he looked up into her face. "Tell me, would you sing like that for someone else Susie? Or maybe several someones? Or perhaps you could give us all a visual performance, to go with the vocal one?" The bar was hushed and she had to answer, HAD to, but what could she say? She wanted to shake her head, and yell "NO!" and run from the eyes that were burning into her, but that wasn't an option, she knew. There was only one possible reply, and the implications of it were huge. "If it would please my beloved master, sir I would. I will do anything that he tells me to." She could feel their focus shift to Robert, her master, who slowly shook his head. "I'm sorry gentlemen, but Susie only demonstrates her full range when she comes." he looked up at her, "and because of certain... transgressions, this morning, I can't allow her to do that for a while." Disappointed, but not surprised, murmurs ran around the room. She let a little of the breath she was holding escape. He wasn't going to fuck her here in front of these men, she thought, and he wasn't going to let them fuck her. For a moment she had thought he might. Thank God! He tugged sharply on the leash bringing her head down to his, which presented her backside to the man behind her, and allowed Jeff a perfect view of her tits, however, that was so much better than it could have been, she thought. "Relieved?" he whispered. She nodded. "Yes master." He smiled, at her but it wasn't a pleasant expression. "Don't be." He hissed. "You're about to learn a whole lot more about submission and yourself than you wanted to." He held up a hand "BUT.." he said, "but... it IS time for this sweet slut's next lesson, and I think that'll go some way to consoling you. Please gather round, if you'd like to watch." There was a shuffling of feet and a scraping of chairs and the entire crowd was facing towards Robert and Susie anticipation on their faces and a babble of excited voices speculation on what would happen. "Now," he continued "I must ask you to be quiet, so that Susie - and you -- can hear my questions, and I -- and you - can hear her answers. " Silence fell. "Stand up Susie," he commanded, loosening the leash. She snapped upright instantly. "You like me to put my hands on you, don't you Susie?" He asked. "Yes master." Her voice was quiet. "Speak up!" "Yes master, I like it master." Louder now. "Why do you like it? What does it do to you?" "It turns me on, master." "Describe what you mean, by turned on, in detail, and using short simple words please." "Yes master, of course. When you touch me, it makes my nipples get hard, and my tits ache with the longing to be sucked. It makes me wet and hot and ready." "What part of you gets wet?" "My cunt, master," "Your cunt. Ready for what, Susie?" "Ready for your cock master, or your hand or your tongue, or ... anything. Ready for whatever you want to slide into it." She noticed that several of the men in the crowd had let their hands drift to their crotches and were stroking themselves as she spoke. One, the young boy who she had thanked earlier, had unfastened his trousers, and slipped his hand inside. "Very good. Thank you. Now, sit on my lap Susie, with your back to me, facing these gentlemen." She did so, pressing her thighs together, though she knew that they must be able to see the 'v' of hair at her crotch. He laid his hands gently on the flesh there and addressed the audience. His words had the tone of a lecture, but no lecturer had ever been listened to with such rapt attention. "The purpose of this lesson, gentlemen, is to get Susie to analyse her own desires - not the ones that she is prepared to acknowledge, not those that her upbringing has told her she should have, but those which she keeps buried for fear of what they'll show her about herself. I will also get her to face those fears honestly. The first few questions were just to get her used to answering honestly, and to listen to how her voice sounds when she does. She had no choice to answer truthfully because she knows that I already knew the answers, and would be displeased if she lied. And you all saw the consequences of my displeasure on her arse earlier. The next questions will start to get to the point, even if they seem irrelevant." Then he spoke to her again. An interrogation. "How old are you Susie?" "Nineteen master, it was my birthday two weeks ago." "And how old were you the first time you fucked a man?" "Fourteen, master, nearly fifteen." "And how old was he?" "Eighteen master." "Why did you fuck him?" "Because he was the captain of the football team master, and he took me to the prom, and it seemed to be what was expected." His hands slid up and down her locked thighs, as he spoke, and she shifted uncomfortably. She was dimly aware that she was telling her most intimate secrets to a room full of strangers, but that only one person mattered, and he was the one forcing her to tell. "Before you fucked him, had you done anything else because it was expected?" "Yes master, I sucked his cock, twice." "Did he come in your mouth?" "No master, he pulled out" "Where did he come?" "The first time, over my tits, master, the second, over my face." "Did you enjoy that?" "No master. But it was better than him coming in my mouth." "Where did you do it?" "In the back seat of his car, master, at the drive in." She could hear the quiet groans and panting of the men who watched, and she knew that they were visualising the scene. The hands on her thighs moved inwards. "That first time you fucked him, was that in the back of his car too?" "No master." Gently he pressed his hands outwards and parted her legs. A high young voice squeaked "Christ!" and she heard deeper voices too, though whether the moans had words, she couldn't tell. "Did you ride him or did he ride you?" "Neither, master, he had me against the wall of his mother's pool house after the prom." "Did you like it?" "No, it hurt and it was over in about a minute." At that someone laughed but she couldn't see who, all the faces in the crowd had blurred. "His voice sharpened. "Repeat that answer, with the correct form of address" he barked. "Oh master, I'm sorry. I didn't like it, it hurt me, master and it was over so quick" "How many times did you fuck him?" "Just that once master. I dumped him the next day. I didn't want to have to do that again." His hands moved up, and with agonising slowness, he drew a finger all along the lips of her pussy, making her yelp, and causing a chorus of moans, whistles and indrawn breath from the audience. "You're wet, Susie," he commented, "is that at the memory?" "No master, it's you, your hands, your voice." His finger ran back and forward over her as he asked "How many other men have you fucked, my sweet little slut?" "Three master, only three." "Is that all Susie?" "Yes, master, only three, including you." "And how many of them have made you come?" "Only you, my dear master." His fingers parted those lower lips, and the juices that were pooled there flowed out as one finger slid into her. Without prompting, she opened her thighs wide, so that everyone in the room could see properly what he was doing. And Jeff, who was closest hissed through his teeth "God, Rob, that's beautiful." "Why do you think that is, Susie?" the fnger moved inside her. "I ... because... because I found it exciting to submit to you master, to be ordered." "And you say it is my hands, my voice that are getting you wet now?" The finger moved in and out. "Oh God!" She cried and he asked again. "Think carefully, is that the only reason?" "No master, it's the main reason, but not the only one." "What else?" and his voice, suddenly was soft and gentle. "Tell me Susie, why else are you so turned on?" She tried to speak, but her throat was constricted, and she couldn't the words out. "Because I know that you are controlling me, and that's exciting, and because ... I... I.... I...." He would be angry. But he wasn't. In that same, impossibly gentle tone, he said. "Is it because you know that there are dozens of men here, and you are wide open to them, while they watch me play with your cunt? Because you know that every one of them has a hard on and aches to be where I am right now?" She nodded, knowing that even though he couldn't see the tears that spilled from her eyes he would know they were there. "How does it make you feel, knowing that is turning you on?" "Ashamed, master, so very, very ashamed." Slowly, he withdrew his finger and whispered "Put your legs together Susie" Although part of her ached to have him continue, another part was grateful he would allow her to stop. No voice protested, and not one of the men spoke. Gently, he turned her so that she was sat across his knees and said "Look at me Susie" She turned tear-filled eyes to his, and she saw they glittered. "Susie, Susie, of COURSE it turns you on to be looked at. I WANTED it to turn you on, that's why I'm doing it, and you know that. I'm showing my hot little slut off - there isn't much point if my hot little slut isn't hot or slutty, now is there?" "N.. no master." "It's time to let that shame go Susie. It's time to be the slut you know at heart that you are. I want you to stand up, strip for everyone, and then come back and give me a blowjob." She pictured herself doing what he said. She tried to rise, but shame swept over her again, and she sat, paralysed. "Master.... I ... I CAN'T." Now his voice became firm again. "Alright. It seems this lesson isn't over. Stand up Susie." Obedience to direct orders was habitual, by now, and she stood. He turned to the men watching and smiled, "it seems I'm going to need your active help gentlemen." He stood. "Jeff, could you shut the bar?" Jeff nodded at his employee who hurried to do so. As he pulled the shutter down, Robert moved behind her. Her wrapped the leash around his fist, so that it was pulled tight and then he reached round with the other hooked a finger in the loop of the zip and in one smooth movement, pulled it completely down. When he unclipped the halter at her neck, it fell to her feet, and now he was showing her as he wanted to, naked but for collar, boots and leash. Then he led her to the pool table that stood in the very centre of the room, lifted her onto it and laid her on her back, her head held down. As the men closed in a circle around her, he told her sharply to spread her legs. She couldn't escape, so she obeyed, blood rushing to her skin, in a bright blush. "Okay gentlemen," he continued, "You were invited today because Jeff said every one of you understood rules, and you could be trusted." As Susie heard him speak she knew that she should have realised. Not random strangers, but a hand picked ... audience? Training group? "Jeff promised you something special, and this is it, the main event. I had hoped that the... climax would be my sweet girl here on her knees, eagerly giving a show, and sucking me for your pleasure, but I did anticipate that something more extreme might be called for, if her lesson was to be driven home. So I planned this contingency. With your help, I'm going to force sweet Susie to let go of the shame that stops her from doing what she really wants to." His hand gestured over her recumbent form. "Please draw an number from the jar that Jeff is holding." She listened with horror as he went on. "These are the rules. In the order indicated by those numbers, you can each come up here. You can touch any part of Susie with your hands or your mouth. You can kiss her, suck these beautiful tits," and his hands caressed them, "taste that lovely pussy. Don't stop until her juices flow, but as soon they do does, game over. This is an object lesson in desire gentlemen, not a gangbang. And if any one of you makes her come, I will personally beat the shit out of him. That's MY job. Are you all happy with those rules?" The nodding heads, and assent were eager. "And for you, sweet Susie, one rule. Don't try to fake, and don't try to hide. I want to see your honest responses. If you disobey, I'll know, I'll change the rules and you'll find yourself fucking every man here." His eyes sparkled dangerously and he grinned. "So, who has number one?" A cheer arose as a hand pushed a man of about fifty forward, who knelt between her legs on the table, and bent his head to her cunt. Held fast, she couldn't move away from him, and as he licked at her, and his tongue circled round and round her clit she tried to send her mind away from her body. It didn't work. The licking became regular, insistent, and he pushed his tongue inside her, and, reluctant or not, her cunt responded. As he tasted her, he withdrew his tongue and moved, to be replaced by another man who fastened his mouth around a nipple. And for the next eternity, or so it seemed to Susie, she was either in a twisted version of heaven, or a delightful incarnation of hell. She gasped and writhed and finally arched up to meet the fingers and tongues that probed her, sucked her and kissed her. At some point the leash was loosened to allow her to move more freely, but she was too caught up in what was happening by then to notice when it happened. Some men stimulated her slowly, others aroused her with barely a touch, but every time a finger or tongue made her cry "yes" or "please" and the heat bubbled from her cunt, the rhythm was broken and the circle moved on, leaving her wanting. It was torture, yes, but torture of the most exquisite kind. She was aware of bodies changing, heavy middle- age being replaced by toned youth or wrinkled age, and not one, no matter how unattractive, failed to get a response from her. The only face, however, at the end, that she could associate with a specific act was the boy, the one who had been cuffed for cheek and creamed himself at his first sight of her pussy. She didn't think she would, ever, in her entire life, forget screaming out "Oh great God in heaven!" as that .. that CHILD plunged his tongue deep into her anus sending a jolt of pure bliss through her and making her juices gush to cover his face in a glistening film. Through it all, her master watched her contorting and cavorting, his face a picture of predatory delight, and when at last it was over he lifted her into his arms and said, "So, sweet Susie, have you learned your lesson yet?" "I think so master," she replied quietly. "What was it?" "That I'm your slut, master, to command in EVERY way -- even to share, if that's what pleases you. That it doesn't matter what I think I want, or I believe can do, if you want me to do something, I will, eventually. And I'll enjoy it. Is that right?" "Very good, Susie. I'm proud of you." "Truly master?" she whispered, hoarse and wracked. "Truly." "Then, please, please, make me come master. I'm burning with desire, aching. I don't care how you do it, but I NEED to come." "That seems a fair reward," he smiled, and still carrying her, walked towards the door. "No master, please," she said, and he looked at her in surprise. "What's wrong, little love?" "Here," she begged. "Do it here, master, now. I can't wait any longer. And I want everyone to hear me sing for you, and watch while I do. I want all my teachers to see what I've learned." ************************************************* Part Four ************************************************* Until now, whenever he had touched her it had been to teach her, to coerce some reaction from her - whether she wanted to give it or not. To humble her by forcing her to acknowledge that he could compel a response from her body, however little she believed she wanted to respond. This time was different. This time, at last, she had given herself completely to his mastery, without reservation, and without shame. He placed her gently back on the table and had her kneel on all fours - "So I can reach every part of you," he had said. His hands, not needing now either to restrain or impel, were light and tender and ran over her skin, barely touching, tracing the curve of spine and buttock, the swell of her breast and the concavity of her belly. Kisses followed fingers, like gentle fire. Her body, stimulated and denied time after time over the previous hours, felt every touch as if it was a caress directly to the pleasure centres of her brain. As a hand glided along her back she threw back her head with a gasp, exposing the whiteness of her throat to his stroking fingers; as their tips ghosted over nipples that were painfully tight and erect, she cried out. The shudder of her first climax took her even before the caresses brushed across the heat of her groin. "Do you want to stop, sweet Susie?" he whispered in her ear, so none but her could hear it. "If you do, just say so... this time it's ALL for you." The shake of her head was emphatic, although she didn't speak, and so he didn't stop. Moving round behind her, still holding the leash of leather in his hand, she heard him clamber onto the table and unfasten his pants. She could see the eager eyes of the watching men, as she pushed herself back slowly to take his cock into her, gradually and deliciously, hear their heavy ragged breathing, and feel their excitement, but this only served to intensify her pleasure. Robert's actions as they fucked were almost languid - slow, smooth and long, his cock caressing her inside as his hands did outside, and the sounds she made for him were mostly wordless, mewlings and whimpers and cries of pure lustful delight, though from time to time she would exclaim "Yes!" or moan "please". He moved on her like surf on the shore, graceful, potent - the tempo building gradually and inexorably as they both climbed towards the peak together. Finally, she tightened around him with a shout of "oh my lord! Yes!" At the same moment she felt his warmth gush into her, and heard him give a gasping yell of release. Then, he moved off of her and pulled her to him ,to hold her cradled in his arms, as, unspeaking and awed, the circle of their audience broke apart and the men filed silently out of the bar, as if stunned by the profundity of the passion they had been a party to, and compelled to allow Susie and Robert privacy to recover. Even Jeff, she noticed dimly, stood, his back to them, facing out. At last he let her go, and stood, fastening his clothing. He passed her the dress that lay discarded on the floor, as she sat, still, breathing deeply, and he zipped it onto her body, when her hands trembled too much to do it herself. "Come," Robert said. "you must be exhausted and starving. Let's get you home for a while to eat and sleep, before we go out this evening." She could only nod, and he slipped an arm around her waist, and supported her back to the cabin, saying "Nine O'clock" to Jeff as they passed. In the cabin, he sat her at the table, this time on the cushioned chair, and with swift spare movements placed a plate of fresh bread, cheese and fresh fruit in front of her. "Eat," he commanded, but there was nothing but kindness in his tone, and she wolfed the food down, savouring the tang of the strong cheese, the crustiness of the bread, and the sweetness of the fruit as if it was the finest meal she had ever eaten. When she had eaten her fill, he helped her to her feet, and undressed her carefully, leaving her dressed only in collar and leash, then picked her up and carried her to the bed. Sitting, he place her so her head was in his lap, and said, quietly, "Sleep now, little love, you've earned it. I'm very pleased with you." She nuzzled into his crotch, smelling his sex, and hers, on him, and drifted into sleep as he stroked her hair. When she woke, refreshed, the cabin was dark, apart from one candle, burning. Susie found that she had been moved, and was covered with a sheet, while on the bed beside her, he sat, his face deep in shadow. Even so, she could feel eyes watching her, and a devil of mischief prompted her to stretch dramatically and sinuously pulling her breasts from under the silk cover. But the chuckle that came from the shadows wasn't Robert's. "Still horny, even after this afternoons... exertions, Susie?" Jeff's voice asked. Long years of instinct took over and she snatched the sheet back up to her chin, and Jeff chided, "Come now sweetheart, that isn't friendly - and I could have sworn you were a friendly girl. You certainly looked pretty damn friendly earlier." "Where's ...?" she looked round for Robert, still clutching the sheet over her. "Rob's gone out to get food. We were going out, but since you were sleeping, it seemed kinder to stay in. He was going to wake you, but I persuaded him you deserved your rest, after this afternoon's little performance. I enjoyed it by the way, very much. I'm thinking of putting a plaque on the pool table to commemorate it." His voice was teasing, but still the blood rushed to her face, and he laughed. "Really, Sweetheart, I'm surprised you can still blush, but I have to admit, you're even prettier with that rosy glow. Now, why don't you just drop that sheet, and sit up here beside me, and we can chat, and get to know each other a little better, while I admire your assets, and.." she felt a tug at her neck, and realised that the leash was still attached to her choker, and Jeff was holding it, "... I won't have to tell Rob that you didn't behave nicely." Susie was at a loss what to do. She didn't know whether Robert would be more displeased if she complied with Jeff, or if she refused, but another tug on the leash decided her. She had been left here, with him, naked, and the leash had been passed into his hands - obviously, obedience was expected. She sat, and let the sheet drop away. "That's better." he smiled "Much better. Although..." "Although?" "Although the view would be better if you sat on my lap facing me, don't you think?" "I guess so." As straddled the broad man's lap, kneeling on the bed, she was able to see him clearly in the candlelight and she realised how similar he looked his cousin. He was a few years older, and much less thin, but the family resemblance was evident in the eyes, and the mouth. Somehow that made it easier, she thought, as he raised his knees a little gently put his hands on her shoulders and pushed her down so that her buttocks rested against his thighs, and her groin nestled snugly against his. "Oh yes," he murmured, and his hands slid from her shoulders to take hers, and his eyes rested on her breasts "This is MUCH better." Then he smiled at her, an open, friendly smile, and said "Hi. I'm Jeff, I'm thirty years old, and I own the bar next door." It was such a silly thing to say, in the circumstances, that she couldn't help smiling back. "And you have the loveliest breasts, I've ever seen," he went on, "and what I want to do right now is touch them." He cupped the creamy fullness and his thumbs made lazy circles around nipples that rose almost inevitably to his touch. Susie's body seemed to have a mind of its own this weekend, she thought. Maybe it was his resemblance to Robert, but she found, with only a little surprise, that she wanted this man. "So, now I've told you about me," He leaned forwards and darted his tongue across the tip of her nipple. She gave a gasp and a little jerk. "Tell me about you. Start with the important things - like did you really enjoy this afternoon as much as you appeared to?" "S.. surely you could tell, when you touched me..." she stammered as again he gave a teasing little lick, then a sharp tugging suck which sent a pulse though her. "Ah, but I didn't touch you this afternoon, Susie, I simply organised the event and recorded it for posterity" he said, nodding at Robert's camera. "Y... you didn't?" she was suddenly curious, "why?" "Because when I touch a girl, like this," again he caressed her breasts, "And make her wet like THIS" a hand slipped down between the two of them to gently cup her sex and feel the dampness he knew was between her thighs, "I have no intention of stopping before she comes," and with this a fingertip found and rubbed lightly over her clit. "So," he murmured, as she wriggled against his finger, a tiny moan escaping her lips, "You did enjoy it? Remember, this is me you're talking to, not Rob, and you can tell me the absolute truth, without fear I'll punish you." Then, from behind them, she heard Robert's voice, "I'll never punish her for telling the truth Jeff." Immediately, Susie went to scramble off of the man's lap, but Robert forestalled her, "No, stay where you are my sweet, I owe my cousin here a huge debt for this afternoon, and it pleases me to pay my debts. I'm sure he'd accept your ministrations in payment, unless you're reluctant. And you look anything BUT reluctant, to me. Are you?" "N.. no master." Dammit, she thought, must she always stammer? "I'd like to please you... and Jeff. He... I...." The finger at her clit rubbed again and her voice became a moaning "ooooooohhhhhhhhh...." "Then answer his question, my little love, and give him your whole attention, until I speak to you again." "Y.. yes, master." She looked into Jeff's eyes. " I...I don't know if 'enjoy' is the right word. I was stimulated, aroused, and well...horny enough for anything..." "Like now?" Jeff asked, a twinkle in his eye, and his finger flickered against the excited nub again. Involuntarily she giggled. "Even more than now. I loved it and hated it all at the same time" Although she was concentrating on the man beneath her, she was acutely aware of her master, sitting silently, listening to her every word. "The frustration was torture, being constantly brought to the edge, then dragged back, and the embarrassment of knowing that I was so hot that ANY man could have had me, maybe all of them, and I'd have let them and loved it, was horrible, humiliating. I was like a bitch in heat, and that made me ashamed. But..." "But.." Jeff prompted her. "But, physically, it felt just soooooo good, and my master was there, smiling at me, and I knew that I was doing what he wanted, and that was.. rewarding, liberating. He was PLEASED that the other men were enjoying my body, pleased that I was responding to them. He wasn't disgusted with me, he was proud, and that meant that maybe I didn't have to be disgusted with myself. It didn't stop the shame, but it made me.. I don't know.. question it maybe. And then, after, when the other men were finished and I asked my beloved master to fuck me there in front of them ... " She didn't even notice how instinctive the term had become to her, how she thought of him automatically as both 'master' and 'beloved'. "I'm not sure why I did it, but .. well I wanted to.. maybe thank them for the pleasure they'd given me, and show them I'd done everything for him, all at the same time. And I knew it would make him happy, and I wanted so much to make him happy. And then he touched me and ... he didn't fuck me, he *made love* to me and it was the sweetest, most incredible most... the most... shaking.... thing I've ever known." "Wow!" Jeff's voice was pensive, "And now you're going to fuck me, or let me fuck you because that will please him?" He had stopped rubbing at her, and the tingle in her groin receded. "N.. no. I... I'm going to fuck you, if you still want me to, because I... I want to. Y.. you must feel that, surely." Her tone was sincere, and a little yearning, "But if he'd said no, I'd have stopped." Jeff smiled and then... "Oh God!" The cry was wrenched out of her, as he gently stimulated her clit with a rubbing pinching movement of his fingers that brought juices bubbling up like a well-spring. "I want you too," he said, and he took her hands and guided them to the waistband of his pants, "as soon as possible. I haven't lost my hard-on from the moment I set eyes on you." Her hands were urgent in releasing his cock, pushing his jeans and jockeys over hips he lifted to accommodate her. As it sprung free of the constraints, he took the hardness in his hand and rubbed the tip teasingly against the clitoris that throbbed from his attentions. "Please Jeff," she whispered, "Don't tease me. I don't want to be teased any more, I just want to fuck, please." Smiling, he positioned himself at her opening, and as she sank with a whimper claiming him with the heat of her cunt, he pulled her tight onto him, his hands gripping her arse. He felt good inside her, she thought, better than any man other than... the one who was watching silently from the shadows. Somehow, as she moved on the older man, she was as acutely aware of the younger as she had ever been. Knowing that Robert's eyes were on her, she moved faster and harder on the cock she was riding, clenching the muscles of her cunt tight around it, so that Jeff cried out "Oh Christ!" and buried his face in her breasts as his hips drove up to plunge him as far into her as he could reach - she was paying a debt for her master, and he would expect her to give Jeff the fuck of his life. She moaned as Jeff's frenzied bucking below her met her own grinding downward motions, and she pressed her lips on his and thrust her tongue deep into his mouth as the friction pushed her to an orgasm that was followed only moments later by his. A click and a flash told her that this too had been recorded. When she broke the kiss, Jeff was left gasping. "Thank you," she smiled at him. "No, thank YOU," he replied, "you were... a fantasy. And Rob, you are possibly the most generous man in the world for sharing this lovely creature with me." Robert walked into the candlelight, a smile on his face, and he lifted a fingertip to stroke her cheek as she sat, still impaled on his cousin's cock. "It wasn't so much sharing as a loan," he replied, as he sat beside the coupled pair, and his hand caressed idly down Susie's back, then turned her face towards him and kissed her softly. "Should I move, master?" she asked, but he shook his head, and resumed his stroking. It was a gentle, pleasant feeling, especially coupled with her connection with Jeff. A sensual pleasure, rather than a sexual one, as if she was fully aware of every nerve in her body, but not, at present, driven to do anything rather than float on a haze of comfort and closeness. Jeff's hands rose too, to play lazily with her breasts, and from the back of her throat she made a sound like purring, and both men smiled. For a long while that, and breathing, were the only sounds in the silence As she floated, her eyes drifted closed, so she didn't notice a significant look pass between the men. "No, that wasn't sharing, not really," she heard her master say, as his stroking moved lower to caress the curve of her buttocks. "I wonder what it would be like to really share." A finger traced the crack of her arse, as the hands fondling her tits suddenly seemed to grow more insistent, plucking at her nipples. She whimpered as the heat of desire threatened to wash over her again. "I wonder ..." there was a tautness in Jeff's tone, and inside her she felt a stirring in his cock. He pulled her forward to kiss first her eyes, and then her mouth and his arms tightened round her, to hold her to his chest. The kiss was sweet and slow, and again juices flowed as she responded both to his kiss and his quickening. Beside her she could hear the unmistakeable sounds of clothing being removed. Her eyes snapped open, just as hands again traced the contours of her bottom. A bottom that was now lifted and exposed. "Would you enjoy being shared, do you think, Susie?" Robert asked as moistened a fingertip in the juices that flowed from her and massaged it gently around the tight ring of her anus. Her first instinct was to cry out no, and struggle, when she remembered the afternoon, and the surge of delight that had shook her when a tongue had been thrust into that opening, and she forced the instinct down, and forced herself to consider the question objectively. "I... I don't know, master" The fingertip pressed at the opening, and she gasped as the tight ring of muscle gave way and the finger was inside, stroking. It felt... good. "I think you will enjoy it, if you let yourself," Robert said, "I think you will enjoy it, as much as we do. The question is, whether you will allow yourself this much." "I've never done this, master," she told him, "I've never had a cock in my arse, and it scares me. I want you to be the first ... it's the only virginity I can offer you, master, and I want you to have it. But to be filled, back and front... I... I'm not sure" "I won't force you into this," he said. "You can choose. If you want to, I'll move, so that you can suck me as you ride, and I won't blame you if that's your choice." She heard Jeff give a give a moan, "Pleeease, Susie," he breathed, and she felt him spring to full hardness inside her as he responded the finger moving against him through the thin wall that separated her anus and her cunt. She wished he would stop that distracting, delicious stroking while she decided, she wished that Jeff's cock would stop the twitching that made her so very wet, she wished ... that she could refuse him this one thing, but she knew she wouldn't. "Yes, master" she whispered. He withdrew his finger, and she felt his hands spread her cheeks, felt the head of his cock there, ready to replace it "You want this, you're sure?" "Please master," she begged "do it now, before I change my mind" She lifted her arse like an invitation, and as he pressed steadily forward to accept it, and he forced her down on the hardness in her cunt, she felt her world explode. ************************************************* Part Five ************************************************* Susie was burning in a flame of lust as the two men moved inside her, and the muscles of her cunt and arse gripped tight on the rigid flesh that filled her. There was pain, somewhere, but it was dwarfed by the ecstasy. She was hoarse and her voice almost gone from the screams of bliss that had ripped from her throat as Robert's hardness in her anus first drove her down onto Jeff so far that she thought his tip brushed her cervix, and she felt the two cocks press together through the thin wall that was her skin. The climax had been sharp and sudden - but it didn't stop. Each thrust lifted her to a new peak and there was male hardness everywhere - skin and muscle and bone - as they held her pinned between them, and their hands explored every part of her. She felt a new heat as Robert's cock pumped his load deep into her bowels and shortly after Jeff's seed flooded her womb, the juices of the three spilled over, mingling and marked them all with the signs of their joint passion. It was an almost religious experience - it left them all moved, and Susie was altar and sacrifice, both. They lay, after, the woman between the two men, silent, motionless, stunned. No one spoke before sleep claimed them. Robert woke first, as the first rays of dawn filtered through the window, and he touched Jeff lightly on the arm, and whispered a few words to him. Both men slipped from the bed, leaving Susie sleeping, and showered. She was brought gently to consciousness by the sensation of warm water on her skin, as the men bathed her where she lay, soap and sponges gliding over her, then towels rubbing her to a warm, dry pinkness. She purred and moved dreamily, sensuously under the tender touches, aroused but not urgent. Then Jeff leaned over, kissed her softly and said to Robert, in a quiet, regretful voice. "I should go, leave you two alone. I'll never forget last night." "Stay," Robert said, and Susie added her voice to his, her tone sincere, pleading, "Please stay Jeff." How could he refuse? The long leather leash lay along Susie's body, between her breasts, parting the golden curls at her groin, the end coiled on the bed, black against the whiteness of the sheet and the thighs that lay slightly apart. Robert traced the length of it with his finger then unclipped it from the collar, and put it aside. "I don't think we'll be needing this any more." He commented "No, my lord, my master," she breathed, "you won't need that again." On Robert's instructions, Susie made a breakfast of ham and eggs, toast, coffee, and orange juice, a sheet draped round her to save her from burning fat. They ate, ravenously, all three, food having been forgotten in sensuality the night before. Then the day passed in an erotic dream, a dance of bodies, a song of sighs. From time to time, they broke off to eat or drink, but it was just a pause in the whirling ballet of sensuality. ...Jeff spread Susie's thighs wide to lap avidly at the hot sweetness that lay between them, as she slid her mouth hungrily along her masters cock, lashing him to climax with her tongue and savouring the salty taste of his seed in her mouth... ...Susie knelt, her head bobbing in Jeff's lap, while Robert's hands slid in and out of the heat of her core, and the moans she made were stifled and vibrated through her lips on the shaft she was sucking... ...Robert sat drinking wine and smiling, as he watched his cousin part Susie's cheeks as she lay face down, and saw Jeff claim the arse that rose up from the bed to rub pleadingly against his groin... ...Jeff lay, leaning on an elbow and playing with her breasts, as Robert placed her feet over his shoulders and plunged his cock deep into her as she bucked and writhed beneath him, and begged him never to stop... ...She straddled Robert and rode him, facing his feet, while Jeff embraced her and kissed her, their tongues rigid, thrusting in and out of each other's mouths in imitation of the hardness driving into her cunt... ...They all lay, almost dozing, a man suckling contentedly at each of the woman's breasts, and while one gently massaged her clit and pussy the other slipped a finger deep into her anus to lazily stroke her inside... ... and finally, she took their hands in hers and lifted them to her mouth and kissed them, and begged them to please, please take her again, just once more, like that first time, to fill her utterly, to flow out of her, to make her fly. And they did. The room reeked of sex and sweat as at last they fell into an exhausted sleep, snuggled together like children. ************************************************* Part Six ************************************************* Susie woke to the sound of a door being quietly closed. Robert was still sleeping, but Jeff had already left, leaving a note on the pillow. It wasn't addressed to her, but it was left there, open, so she couldn't help seeing it. "Rob," it read. "I must get to work. I'd say that this has been a great weekend, but that would be like saying that Bill Gates was 'reasonably wealthy'. I'm sure I'm not going to forget it for a long, long time. "Praise Susie some for me, she deserves it, and tell her I've decided I'm DEFINITELY going to put that plaque on the pool table. "If you get time, bring her into the bar again before you leave, I'd like to kiss her goodbye. I only wish I could stick around a bit longer so I could do more than that. "Thanks Coz "Jeff" As Robert stirred and stretched beside her she was instantly solicitous. "My lord? May I serve you? Please?" He smiled, and rolled on top of her, positioning himself between the thighs she spread to welcome him. "Indeed you may," He said, as he plunged his cock into her impatient cunt, and her legs came up to wrap themselves around his waist. He was rested, and refreshed, so after her first orgasm rippled and flowed along his shaft, he rolled them over, so that she was astride him, and the morning sunlight shone on the breasts that bounced as she rode him eagerly. They finished with him behind her, her face buried in the pillows as she drove herself back onto his hardness and called out her joy for the third time. He was reading the note as she came back from the shower, and he motioned her to sit at his feet, back to him. Then he dried and brushed her hair, saying. "Jeff says you deserve praise, little one, and he's right. You were superb yesterday, my sweet. I'm proud of you." "Thank you, my lord, but I don't deserve your praise." She blushed, "I loved every minute of it." She could see his smug smile in the mirror. "Yes," he said, "I know." He braided her hair into a long plait, and the clothes he passed her from the closet were her own. "We have to go home," he said, "so I guess you'll need these." When she was dressed, she looked in the mirror. Apart from the glow on her skin that came from being well fucked, nobody would ever guess that she had ever been anything other than a princess. There was no hint of the slut in the demure, lovely creature reflected back at her. Her hand rose to the choker round her throat, the symbol of his control. It looked like nothing other than a pretty accessory. "I'll take it off when we get to your house," he said. "Now," Shall we go and say goodbye to Jeff?" She nodded. "Please." She could still be polite, but the words "my lord" didn't spring to her lips in these clothes. He noticed, but said nothing, and he didn't touch her as they walked the short distance to the bar. Jeff greeted them warmly, but murmured "I preferred your other look, little Susie. I'm almost scared to ask for a goodbye kiss with you looking like that. Almost." She smiled at him, and leaned forward into a long, slow, gentle kiss. "Bye Susie," he said, "If you're back this way again, look me up." "Bye Jeff," she whispered. Robert hugged his cousin, and then, silently they left. She spoke, finally, into the silence as they drove, saying "I... there is something I would like to understand, if you wouldn't mind explaining." "What is it?" "I... um... in the past boys have always been nice to me, but they have never really affected me. Then YOU came along, and you treated me like some kind of whore or chattel. You used me and beat me, turned me into a public entertainment, encouraged other men to touch me, shared me with your cousin like some delicacy, and instead of being repulsed, I... it.... ALL of it..." "It made you horny as hell, right? You couldn't get enough of it." "Y... yes." He laughed. It's because the world is fucked up, Susie. It sees someone beautiful like you, and it treats that beauty like it's some kind of achievement, as if it's something you've done, rather than something you are. You've been spoiled and petted and ... worshipped, just because you're pretty." "Those boys you've known before have wanted to possess your beauty, but they didn't know how, were too scared to do too much, in case you denied them. So every time they touched you they held back, they were hesitant. Even your parents have never really disciplined you, for fear of damaging that loveliness, I'll bet. All the power has always been yours, simply because you are pretty." He lifted a hand from the wheel to touch her cheek as she nodded. "That's wrong," he went on. "Wrong?" "Beauty isn't an achievement, it's a duty you owe to other people, to make them happy." His hand gestured to her breasts. "Those tits are lovely, but what's the point of them, if someone isn't looking at them, touching them, sucking them? Your pretty mouth is much better used crying in pleasure or sliding eagerly along a cock than it is pouring scorn on people who weren't born with your advantages." "Why do you have a cunt except so that it can be fucked, and its sweetness exists to be tasted? Even those perfect round cheeks you sit on are more perfect when they're parted to give access to the opening between them. We are given the gifts we have in order to serve. But, until this weekend, nobody ever expected you to serve, instead, they served you. That made your pride and your ego feel good, but left your body discontented, because it wasn't doing what it was meant for." "Your whole body is built to give pleasure, but you were using it to give pain. I made you use it properly - without holding anything back. I forced your body into service, and demanded that it was used to please me, any way I chose. I'm not scared of your loveliness, because I know that it can only really blossom when you put it to the use it was designed for, and give up your artificial pride in something you didn't create. When you do ..." He smiled, "Well, you've felt what happens when you do. Duty has its rewards." She felt a stirring of indignation. "Are you saying that every woman wants to be dominated, secretly?" He laughed. "Not at all. Lots of girls, pretty or otherwise, instinctively know what I was having to teach you the hard way. Maybe they've had better parents, maybe they're just brighter, but they are able to share - COMPLETELY share - without being made to do so. You can generally recognise them, they smile a lot. The discontented ones are the ones don't know, and who've never been taught. And lots of good looking boys are just as badly in need of teaching as you were - but I'm not the right teacher for them. I WAS the right person to teach you though - as I'm sure you must admit." "Maybe you'll be able to share properly, one day, Susie, without being pushed to it, but you've been very badly spoiled - I think you might always need someone who's strong enough to make sure you remember what your prettiness is for. But you've come a very long way this weekend." They stopped a little later to eat a quiet lunch in a small town, at a drugstore. As they left, he picked up a large rectangular parcel from behind the counter, which he tossed in the back of the car before they drove off. He turned on the radio, and nothing more was said until at last they pulled up outside two clearly empty houses. Her mother and father were still away at her grandparents' ranch in Texas, and he had lived in the large house next door alone, since his parents had been killed in a plane crash, two years earlier. He opened her door, and let her out, just like any boy who had taken her out on a date, and she stood in front of him, not knowing what to say, or even what to call him. He seemed to read her mind. "Perhaps you should call me Rob, from now on, like Jeff does," he suggested. "Y.. yes Rob." She replied. She wanted to smile at him, but she felt close to tears. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a small jewellers box. "These are yours," he said, "you earned them." Her mother's earrings, she knew. Then he unlocked the collar at her throat, and took the parcel he'd collected at lunch from the back seat of the car. He put the circle of black leather on top of the brown paper package and handed them to her. "Keepsakes," he said. She wanted to smile at him, but she felt tears at the back of her eyes, so instead she brushed her lips quickly over his, whispered goodbye, and ran up the steps and into the house. She dashed up the stairs and threw herself onto her bed, feeling the safety and comfort of her own room all around her. For a while she cried, not sure whether the tears were relieved or regretful. Then, she opened the parcel. It was a photograph album. She flicked through the pages, wide-eyed. It was all here, from the first shot of her naked in red heels to her lying sated on the bed that morning. There were ten pages of shots of the pool table, four on each page, each showing a different man touching her breasts, kissing her or licking her ... oh dear God, she thought, forty of them! There were pictures of her and Robert in the bar, and pictures from yesterday: her with her lips around Robert's cock, her with Jeff buried in her arse. The only thing that wasn't there were the times when she had had both men together. Her parents would KILL her if they saw these. She was almost fainting with shame, until suddenly, she noticed her face in the pictures. It was just so incredibly beautiful. She forced herself to look through every page again, and she saw it. She was transfigured in these pictures, her eyes shining with ... bliss. Her lips parted and moist, her skin glowing with excitement. Darkness fell as she looked at them, over and over again. And she made a decision. Going to her closet she looked through the clothes there in growing frustration. Nothing suitable, nothing! And so it was that she stood in front of the mirror, ten minutes later, her mother's diamonds sparkling in her ears, and her blonde hair loose and flowing down her back. She reached up and fastened the black leather choker around her neck, hearing the lock snap, picked up the album, and left the house. And she walked, naked in the moonlight, to his door, and knocked. He opened it and a smile spread all over his face. "These are yours," she said, holding out the album, and when he took it, her hands, empty now, gestured down her body, "As I am, if you'll have me. I need you, my beloved master. Take me, and teach me - please." And, careless of who might see, she knelt in front of him, and bowed her head. He took her hands and drew her to her feet, leading her into his home and his life, saying, "With the greatest of pleasure, my sweet, lovely, SEXY little Susie." And he closed the door behind her, shutting out her old life as he welcomed her to the new one as his lover, his student, and his willing servant. email: frantic@wildchild.co.uk -- Pursuant to the Berne Convention, this work is copyright with all rights reserved by its author unless explicitly indicated. +---------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | alt.sex.stories.moderated ----- send stories to: <ckought69@hotmail.com> | | FAQ: <http://assm.asstr-mirror.org/faq.html> Moderator: <story-ckought69@hotmail.com> | +---------------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Archive: <http://assm.asstr-mirror.org> Hosted by Alt.Sex.Stories Text Repository | |<http://www.asstr-mirror.org>, an entity supported entirely by donations. | +---------------------------------------------------------------------------+
