'Hello,' she said, rolling over to see Audrey sitting on the edge of the bed. She was wearing a black chiffon wrap. 'What time is it?'
'Very late. You've been asleep all day. I didn't have the heart to wake you earlier. I thought it was better to let you sleep.'
Kim squirmed and smiled comfortably beneath the duvet.
'I sent out for some food, if you want it.'
'Mmm... I'm not hungry yet... still a bit sleepy.' Kim stifled a little yawn with her fingers.
Audrey reached out and stroked her shoulder. 'You're very beautiful,' she said softly.
'Not without my make-up, I'm not.'
'Of course you are.' She leant forward and kissed Kim on the cheek. 'It's just that I was feeling a little lonely, thinking about you in here. I thought you might like some company.'
'Still sleepy...' Kim murmured, turning on her side, mists of sleep drifting over her.
'Do you mind if I cuddle up with you?'
'Mmm... that'd be nice...'
Kim heard Audrey stripping off her wrap, then felt her climbing into bed beside her. She was naked. She spooned her body against Kim's.
'That feels nice,' Audrey whispered.
Kim moved back against the woman, her breasts and belly and thighs feeling deliciously soft. She felt an immediate surge of desire. Audrey's hand was moving surreptitiously down over her tummy. 'What are you doing?' Kim asked, though she knew perfectly well.
'You seem to have woken up a little.' Her fingers pushed down between Kim's thighs. 'Would you prefer that I stopped?'
'No...' she sighed, 'no, don't do that.' Kim rolled onto her back and looked into Audrey's eyes. 'I'm very new at all this,' she said humbly.
'Good,' Audrey purred. 'That's the way I like my girls. Just lie back and enjoy.'
She leant lower and her fleshy lips kissed Kim lightly. They moved down to her throat, and then, pushing the duvet aside, descended to her breasts. 'You've no idea how much I wanted you the other day when I was spraying your body with that stuff. Seeing you like that...'
Kim felt Audrey shudder. The American sucked at Kim's breast, then centred her mouth on the nipple, pinching it between her teeth. Kim's sex responded with a sharp pulse. Having sex with a woman was still such a new experience, and still, in her mind at least, taboo, that feeling Audrey touching her provoked an inordinately strong reaction.
Audrey's mouth moved to her other breast, while her hand pressed Kim's thighs apart. As Kim spread her legs, Audrey's middle finger slid into the crease of her labia, nudging almost immediately up against her clit. Kim moaned and slowly rolled her head from side to side.
'You like that, do you?' Audrey asked unnecessarily.
'Love it.'
'You love having a woman fingering you?'
'Yes.' The admission excited Kim.
Audrey's finger was artful. Kim's clitoris was highly sensitive, but there was a tiny spot right at the tip, that seemed to be the centre of her whole sexual universe, provoking shards of pleasure so intense they were almost painful. Audrey concentrated on this spot instinctively, just rolling the tip of her finger over it with the smallest of movements.
'Kiss me,' Kim begged.
Audrey did just that, her mouth enveloping Kim's lips, her tongue pushing between them. The hotness and wetness of Audrey's mouth excited Kim quite as much as the feelings from her clit. The two sensations seemed to join together, her body arching off the bed.
'I want to watch you come,' Audrey whispered huskily. 'Will you do that for me?'
'Yes... yes...'
Kim felt her sex clench hungrily - but she remembered something she had chosen not to think about since she'd driven out of the filling station. She remembered the odd numbness that had taken a hold of her. And she saw Jake Ashley's eyes staring at her again.
'No,' she said aloud, shaking her head.
'No what?' Audrey said, looking concerned.
'It's...' In Kim's mind Jake was tutting very softly.
'Do you want me to stop?'
'No... no... it's wonderful.'
But it wasn't. Not any more.
'Harder,' she whimpered. 'I need it harder.'
Immediately Audrey increased the pressure of her finger, flicking Kim's clit back and forth. But it was no good. She closed her eyes to try and concentrate her feelings, but in the blank screen of her mind all she could see was Jake Ashley and his disapproving expression.
Kim rolled her hips from side to side, crushing down on Audrey's fingers, but nothing happened.
'It's no good,' she said quietly, pulling Audrey's hand away. 'I think I'm too tired.'
Audrey was still smiling. 'No, you're not. I know what's the matter with you.'
'You do?'
Audrey nodded. 'It's Jake. I felt the same when I left him. Every time I tried to have sex with a man or a woman it was the same. I just saw his eyes looking at me. I couldn't think of anything else. It's the effect he has on women. It's like a hypnotist not letting you out of his power.'
'Yes - yes, that's exactly it. But what am I going to do?'
'It's all right,' Audrey reassured her. 'I know what you need... Trust me.'
Audrey rolled away, then knelt beside the bed and picked up one of the leather cuffs, staring straight into Kim's eyes.
'No...' Kim said. But the sight of the restraint had caused her sex to kick back into life, a huge surge of feeling soaring through her body, like electricity. She didn't want to admit that the thought of bondage could have such an enormous effect on her - but it clearly did.
'You don't mean that,' Audrey said confidently. 'Believe me, I know. The same thing happened to me.' She sat on the edge of the bed and took hold of Kim's left arm. Kim didn't resist. As her wrist was pulled out to the corner of the bed and the leather cuff wrapped around it and buckled tight her whole body seemed to tingle.
Audrey stood up and walked around to the other side of the bed. This time as she pulled Kim's right arm out and strapped it down Kim felt a pulse of pleasure deep in her vagina.
'Feels good, doesn't it?' Audrey whispered. 'Struggle a little bit, fight against it.'
Kim tried to sit up, but her arms were stretched out so far she could barely raise her shoulders from the bed. The excitement she felt was becoming intense.
'You see,' Audrey said, obviously quite aware of what Kim was experiencing. She walked to the foot of the bed and grasped Kim's right ankle, pulling it over to the corner and securing it in the third leather cuff. 'I don't know what it is, but it's like a virus that gets into the blood. Once you've caught it, the cure is worse than the disease.'
Kim's right leg was stretched out and bound securely, her sex spread open and completely vulnerable.
'You've a very pretty pussy,' Audrey sighed. 'Did Jake tell you that?'
Such was Kim's excitement she couldn't speak, but Audrey continued anyway. She ran a hand down between Kim's legs, cupping her sex. 'You're very wet.'
'Please...' Kim managed.
'Please what? You're a slave again now, Kim. You know the rules.'
'Please don't tease me.' But wasn't being teased exactly what she wanted? Her sex was pulsing so strongly now she thought she might come just like this. The strength of the feelings forced her eyes closed and she half expected Jake Ashley to be lurking there, but the only image she saw was a birds-eye view of herself, spread out on the bed with Audrey kneeling beside her. Audrey leant lower. She planted her lips firmly on Kim's sex and sucked on her clit, gathering the whole thing into her mouth where her tongue immediately went to work.
Kim moaned loudly. She struggled against the bonds, not because she wanted to escape, but because she loved the feeling that being so helpless gave her. She knew she was going to come - and quickly.
Audrey was relentless. She swung a thigh over Kim's body, sitting astride her chest. At the same time she pushed two fingers into Kim's vagina and used a third to press against her sphincter. For a moment the little ring of muscle resisted, but when it yiel
ded and Audrey's finger slipped into the tight rear passage, Kim felt yet another explosion of ecstasy, her anus now quite as capable of delivering pleasure as her cunt.
Audrey released her clit, then found that tiny spot again, pressing her tongue against it as she had done before. Her tongue caressed it with the same rhythm that she was using to pump her fingers in and out of both nether orifices. She had tied Kim tight, her body stretched across the bed so that her muscles and sinews were taut. But rather than being painful this only seemed to increase the sensitivity of her nerves, the pleasure that was flowing through them a hundred times more potent. With all her energy she arched up off the bed, pushing her breasts against Audrey's thighs as her orgasm overwhelmed her, a colossal explosion of pleasure that left her trembling and weak.
Audrey was absolutely right; she had been through everything Kim had been through and knew exactly what she needed. Even when Kim's orgasm eventually ebbed away she could still feel tremors of exquisite pleasure simply by pulling against one of the leather cuffs.
Audrey straightened up, moving back so her sex was poised above Kim's hot face, glistening and inviting. On her left buttock Kim noticed a small blue roundel of a tattoo, the letters JA contained within it in elaborate script.
Audrey stroked her own sex, dipping one finger into her vagina right above Kim's eyes. Then she spread her fingers apart so her labia were spread too, and Kim found herself staring up into the scarlet maw. Then, slowly, it lowered onto Kim's waiting mouth.
The extraordinary texture and wetness of a woman's sex gave Kim a new jolt of pleasure, reawakening her appetites. Hungrily she lapped at Audrey, wanting to taste her juices. She probed with her tongue, running it around the outer lips. She heard Audrey moan and saw her finger flicking at her own clitoris. Seconds later the American pressed her mouth back to Kim's sex, renewing all the feelings it had created there. The circle was complete. Everything she could feel in Audrey's sex was replicated and repeated in her own. Just as Audrey's sex began to quiver as her orgasm exploded, Kim realised she was going to come again too. The feeling of Audrey's orgasm, the way her labia seemed to suck at Kim's tongue, took her to the brink, needing only the slightest touch to make her come again. She closed her eyes, overwhelmed by a myriad of different sensations.
Thwack!
Kim opened her eyes with a start. For a moment she was completely confused. She had felt Audrey jerk as if being whipped, her sex melting over her mouth with a new heat, her voice crying out in a tone she had heard before; that unique melange of pain and extreme pleasure. But her thighs and buttocks were blocking her view. Was there someone else in the room?
Thwack!
A second huge shock vibrated through Audrey's body, but this time Kim saw the whip strike, a long thin lash cutting across her buttocks and making her flesh quake. Audrey's sex clenched, her juices so copious they were dripping from Kim's chin.
Thwack!
This time Audrey screamed, a high-pitched wail, and as she shuddered she came again, her sex quivering, her head thrown back. It seemed to go on for a long time, her cry a long diminuendo.
'I know what you want.'
The voice startled Kim. She recognised it at once. It belonged to Jake Ashley.
'Yes, master,' Audrey whimpered feebly. 'You always have.'
'You've done well. Get off her now.'
'Thank you, master.'
As Audrey climbed off Kim's prostrate body Kim looked up at him standing over her. He was naked apart from a pair of black leather briefs, and was holding a riding crop. 'Whu-what's going on?' she managed. The exquisite sexual feelings that were still coursing through her were making it difficult for her to think straight.
'I would have thought that was obvious,' Jake said.
Kim looked to Audrey, who was still kneeling by her side. 'But, I thought you wanted to expose him.'
'I did, but...' Audrey mumbled, avoiding Kim's questioning gaze.
'Audrey was cross with me,' Jake Ashley continued on behalf of the embarrassed woman. 'Actually, she was cross with herself. She didn't like the thought that her inner needs were so submissive. Like you, she escaped. Because she transferred - I think that's the correct psychological term - her anger to me, she wanted to do something to hurt me. Apparently, you were the answer to her prayer.'
'I still don't understand.' The sexual impulses were fading and Kim's mind was beginning to work. 'You told him I was here?'
Audrey nodded, her eyes still lowered.
'Why, for God's sake?'
'Isn't it obvious?' Jake said calmly. 'Audrey changed her mind. We've come to a little arrangement. Normally none of the SNY are allowed to stay with one master for longer than six months; Audrey is going to be an exception.'
'In return for what?' Kim tried to sit up, forgetting the bonds, and got a painful reminder from the muscles in her shoulders. 'Please, let me go,' she said feebly.
'In return for your silence.'
'In return for my—?'
'You have two choices, Kim,' he interrupted. 'You can write your story and return to England. You will never see me again. You will never know the sort of pleasures I can give you.
'Or you can stay with me. You can join the system. You can be one of the Slaves of New York. I'm prepared to give you a second chance. You made me lose control of myself. I can't remember another slave doing that. I want you to come back.'
'I can't do it,' Kim protested.
'Then release her,' Jake snapped immediately. His eyes darkened and he turned towards the door.
'No,' Audrey cried. 'Kim, don't you realise you're exactly the same as me. You can't live without him. You can't do without this.' She gestured at the bondage. 'Like I said, it's a disease. Once you've caught it there's no cure.'
'Let me go,' Kim insisted determinedly.
But she was looking at Jake. She wanted him. She wanted everything he represented. Could she really live without seeing him ever again?
'Let her go,' he said.
'No,' Kim exclaimed firmly as Audrey reluctantly reached to release one of the leather cuffs. It was madness. She knew it was madness. She could walk out of this apartment with a sure-fire front page story that would give her all the career opportunities she could ever wish for. She could work on any paper anywhere in the world. But at this moment the thought that Jake Ashley was going to walk out of the door and out of her life was simply too much to bear.
She didn't blame Audrey, because she knew exactly what Audrey was feeling. Ever since she had escaped from the house she realised there had been an emptiness in her life. She hadn't wanted to admit it to herself. As much as she wished she could return to her old life, when she had been independent and free, she knew she was not and would never be again until she had explored everything Jake Ashley's books and Jake Ashley in person had made her feel. That might take weeks, or months, or even years - but it had to be done. She wished she could have him to herself, but she knew that could not be and she would rather share him than not have him at all.
There would be, she hoped, other stories and other opportunities in her career, but this was a chance she knew would never come again.
'No?' Jake echoed, raising an eyebrow.
'I'll do whatever you say,' Kim said. She hesitated, then added, 'Master.'
Jake did not smile. Instead, he knelt on the bed and caressed her cheek so tenderly she felt tears welling in her eyes. His hand ran down to her breast, handling it much less carefully, pinching her nipple. She saw a bulge growing in the briefs. His other hand snaked down between her legs and a finger nudged against her clit. Just this touch almost made her come. She gasped and shuddered.
Jake got to his feet. He pulled off his briefs. His erection jutted from his firm flat belly. He knelt on the bed behind her, his knees apart so his scrotum swayed right above her mouth.
'Come here,' he said to Audrey.
'Yes, master.'
She moved closer to him.
'Take it in your mouth.'
/> Audrey immediately did as she was told.
'And you,' he said, looking down at Kim, 'take my balls in your mouth.'
She lifted her head. Her shoulder muscles were beginning to cramp and her neck protested as she did so, but that was a pain she welcomed. She wanted this. She wanted this more than she'd ever wanted anything in her life.
'Yes, master,' she said softly.
