She
woke feeling rested on the mattress, alone. Feeling alone for the
first time in weeks. Joe and Trudie had left sometime last night.
Sometime. She had no idea when, hadn't bothered to check the clock
on the VCR.
She
had buried her nose into the sheets and luxuriated in Trudie's and
Joe's scents after they left. Sleep came easy with that palpable
trace of their presence.
Now
she had a busy day ahead. She found her pad, a pen, and one of Trudie's
silly little white socks. She held the sock between her list as
she started the list.

She
watched the figures on the dirty basement floor. The slut was getting
what she deserved from the man in the cape. She wiped her face,
licked the cum from her hand and waited for them to direct their
attention to her again.
The
figures in the room, all dressed in black, wore simple masks over
their eyes only, like Halloween or at a charade. All the figures
except the man with the hooded mask who stood by her, holding her
leash.
She
knew better than beg; they didn't like bitches who didn't know their
place. She settled back onto her heels, placed her hands on her
knees and waited; open, her dripping cunt ready.
By
being seen she was marked. By being marked they could ignore her.
The
slut was getting her ass ruined. She could hear her whimpers as
the man in the cape drove his hard cock incessantly into her, hip
meeting ass with a loud slap.
She
felt a tug on her leash, followed the man in the mask to the rutting
couple and the figures around them. She anticipated the taste of
cum and the slut's shit. Her mouth watered and she moaned softly
as the grit bit into her palms and knees.
She
waited with mouth open for . . .
Damn.
She
turned around. William stood in the doorway with a pistol pointed
at Trudie and Joe on the bed. Joe continued fucking; he must not
have heard the door hit the wall.
"What
in heaven's name are you doing, William?"
Wild-eyed
he turned to her, swiveling his body so the gun pointed to her now.
"Put
that down, William."
"Who
. . ."
She
unfastened the mask, removed it, shaking her hair loose. "I'm
your ex-wife, William. Remember? Put that down."
She
stood, pushed the chair away from the computer desk. The monitor
was dark. She pulled her robe closer to her body.
He
lowered the gun. "Who is she?"
"They
are friends, William. Lovers who use my house to meet. Please leave.
You were not invited."
"Are
you next for him?" He looked like he wanted to break something.
"Hardly,
William. I'm still true to you, whether you believe it or not."
"He
spends a lot of time with you." William raised the gun, pointed
it at her. "I should . . ."
"You
should leave, William. Who will take care of Ashley if you kill
me? Who?"
He
shook his head, put the pistol in his jacket pocket. "If I
ever see you like that, Sissy, I'll kill you."
"William,
if you ever see me like that you'll know I've already died and gone
to heaven. If you see me like that, before you pull the trigger,
think about us, you and me like that."
"Slut."
He spat on the floor.
"Gesundheit,
William."
He
slammed the door when he left. They heard his car tear out of the
neighborhood.
"Who
was the asshole, Cecilia?" Joe asked. He pulled away from Trudie,
sat up.
"Sorry
to involve you with my problems. I didn't think he was dangerous."
"You
were married to that creep?"
"I
was married to that creep. Would you like some tea?" She slipped
the hooded mask back over her head, adjusted it. "I'll start
a kettle."
She
leaned against the counter, adjusted the knife on the cutting board
so it was pointing exactly right, shut her eyes.
She
was blindfolded. All was black except for the noise of his grunts
as he swung, the whistle of the whip before it hit her and the sound
of it being drawn back, dragging on the floor. All was black except
for each coruscating moment following a blow when her whole body
lit up.
She
heard the slut laugh, voices.
She
smiled when she felt his electric touch, the back of his fingers
against her cheek.
She
opened her eyes just as the kettle began to whistle.
She
carried cups into the living room, Sleepytime to relax them. She
joined her lovers on the mattress, afraid to touch either one of
them.

She
slept fitfully in the corner, on the floor. Naked, her skin was
damp with sweat. She had a sour taste in her mouth. Stepping stones
three, four, she didn't know how many. The day was a jumble.
Ashley,
Joe and she had gone shopping, more paraphernalia, since Ashley
and Joe were involved. That took time. Making up each list of things
to do, things they needed, took time.
She
was exhausted; William barging in like that had been totally unnecessary.
The situation was already difficult enough.
She
cursed her demons for leaving her at moments like this. She missed,
needed, their distraction.
She
turned, her joints grinding against the wood floor. She stared at
the ceiling, saw the reflection of the light from the computer monitor.
It
must have just come on. Numbers and letters, white figures on a
dark ground scrolled down the screen. There was a beep.
She
sat up, glanced around the room. No one. The mattress was empty;
no one sat in the chair by the computer desk. The house was otherwise
dark. Her mask lay beside the mouse.
She
went to the computer, entered the password and waited.
There
was a new file on the desktop titled Friday. She opened it. The
text read: "The man in the mask invites you to meet the man
in the cape Friday evening, in the locker room, after the game."
She
closed the file, shut down the computer and went to the bathroom.
She'd take a shower.
The
water slowly cooled as the hot water ran out. She let it cool, falling
on her shoulders as she sat in the tub.
Nothing.
They were gone from her. Tonight of all nights.
She
reached up and turned off the water, sat quietly and listened to
the water run out of the tub. She reached behind, grasped her hair
and twisted it to wring out most of the water. She shook her head,
felt her wet hair brush her shoulder, a caress as soft as a whip's
before the first serious stroke.
She
dried herself, found a robe and put it on. She found several lengths
of rope in the living room lying next to the mattress. She slapped
the rope against her thigh, opened her robe and slapped her bare
thigh harder. Better.
She
left the house and climbed into the back of the van. The metal floor
was heavily ridged. Good, she thought. She shut herself into the
van; it sounded hollow and heavy.
She
was in a steel cylinder ready to go over Niagara Falls. She'd better
tie herself in. She took off her robe, tossed it toward the front
of the van, between the two seats.
She
lashed her feet together, tied them to a vertical rib. She used
a piece of rope to whip her body, all over, legs, back, breasts,
face and cunt. Especially her cunt. She felt as hollow as the steel
cylinder.
She
gathered a hank of her hair, wrapped a rope end around it and knotted
it tightly. She passed the other end around another vertical rib,
on the other side of the van from her feet, and pulled. She gave
an extra tug then wrapped the rope tightly and tied it.
There
were hairs in her eyes but she left them to irritate her. She cooled
quickly in the October night and started to shiver.
She
remembered her second evening with Trudie and Joe, before and after
William's impromptu visit. She remembered Joe asking again if he
could touch her. Her pause, then saying yes. He placed one hand
so it cupped her pussy and the other so it cupped her breast. He
said her name and her whole body shook, flipped itself inside out
then back again. Her womb fluttered, a moth inside her body seeking
light.
She
remembered Joe telling them, while they rested, of the time when
he was wounded in Vietnam. An American officer came into view, looked
around, and gave Joe's leg a kick. "This one's still alive,"
he said, then walked away.
She
wondered if her demons were gone if Joe and Trudie would disappear
also.
She
shivered as she shut her eyes.
The
slut was making noises as two used her at once. She choked, eyes
wide open, face red, muscles on her neck distended as one was caught
in her throat. She gagged on that cock as she was brutally fucked
from behind. Her head shook rapidly back and forth, then relaxed
when he pulled out laughing, spit and cum pouring from her mouth.
The
whip dropped onto the floor next to her face and the man in the
cape stepped over her to join them. His black cape brushed her back.
A
hand reached to pick up the whip.
She
was thirsty. She wondered when she would be next. The first blow
inexpertly caught her cheek. She writhed on the floor. A boot stepped
onto her hand, held it tightly against the grit floor. The next
blow was better placed.
She
relaxed and smiled. They loved her.
