Chapter 41 Mei Lingąs Gift

Aki was waiting in the library. I told Mei to stay close by, then went
in.
The Japanese girl was sitting quietly in a straightbacked chair, hands
laying in her lap, eyes downcast, hair hanging in front of her
shoulders. She looked like a little girl waiting to be punished, her
petite body too small for the chair she sat in. Her feet just barely
touched the ţoor. She didnąt move as I walked in and sat down.
łHello, Aki.˛ I said quietly.
łHai.˛ She said quietly. łMaster-san.˛ She sat very still, relaxed,
passive.
łDid Mei explain everything to you?˛
łYes.˛ Akiąs voice was low and throaty, I could imagine her speaking
Japanese ţuently. Her accent was so thick it almost sounded like
someone mocking an accent.
łDo you want to go though with this? Itąs still not too late to back
out.˛
łNo, I stay. I want to be a good slave, master-san. I make you very
happy.˛ But she still didnąt look at me. łAki, are you sure this is
really what you want? Because if it isnąt, you have to stop now, this
is your last chance. If you go on, thereąs no turning back. Do you
understand?˛ łYes, master-san. I understand.˛ But she didnąt move. łAre
you frightened, Aki?˛ I asked, worried. Her passivity wasnąt normal.
None of the other girls had reacted this way. The motionless Ţgure
didnąt speak for a moment. łYes.˛ She Ţnally said, so quietly I didnąt
really hear her. łLook at me.˛ I said suddenly. Akiąs head came up and
her eyes ţicked to meet mine. She broke eye contact, but obediently
continued to look at me-speciŢcally at my chest. I studied her then.
Her hair was so long it was in her lap. Her dress was conservative,
coming almost to her knees. She sat upright, knees touching, ankles
together. łWhat are you doing, Aki?˛ I asked Ţnally. łAre you
challenging me?˛
łI no understand, master-san.˛ She shivered, trying to hide the dismay
on her face, but failing.
łYou sit so quietly. Are you really so passive, Aki?˛ łI do whatever
you ask, master.˛ She said. łAnything at all. I obey any command you
give me. I yours, master-san. No limit.˛
łEvery woman has limits, Aki.˛ I said quietly. łYou have challenged me
to Ţnd yours. I will.˛
łI not challenge, master-san.˛ She said, bowing her head. łIf
master-san wish to Ţnd my limits, I search for them. Gladly.˛
Did you ever see a wolf whoąs prey refused to run? They get so
confused, they wonąt attack. Thatąs the way Aki made me feel. She sat
there, totally passive. She said sheąd do whatever I wanted. But like
the wolf, my confusion eventually ended.
I stood and moved swiftly toward her. Aggressive, threatening. She
ţinched, but sat still, watching me. łKneel.˛ I commanded. She obeyed
instantly, kneeling in the traditional Japanese manner, back straight,
legs folded, knees touching, palms on thighs. Perplexed, I walked
around her. łSpread your legs, Aki. Never kneel to me with your knees
together.˛ Again, she obeyed, instantly, silently. I went to the door
and opened it. Mei was waiting on the other side. I gave her some low
voiced instructions. She left and I returned to Aki.
łHave you ever been a slave before, Aki?˛ I asked, reaching down to
stroke her hair.
łNo, master-san.˛ She kept her head bowed humbly. łNo training at all
then?˛
łI read about it, master-san. I not right?˛ Her voice caught just a
little. I ignored her question. łWhere did you see my ad, Aki?˛
łBonded Mail.˛ She answered, naming a bondage contact magazine. Of all
my harem, only Aki had actually come through an ad in a traditional
magazine. Well, so had Tara, but she didnąt count.
łStand up and take off your dress.˛ I commanded. With that same instant
response she obeyed me. Finished, she stood uncertainly, holding her
dress in one hand. I took it from her and draped it over a chair. I
noted with surprize she was wearing a garterbelt and stockings.
Thatąs pretty rare outside of porno movies, most women wear pantyhose.
Her lingerie was dainty but not particularly daring, bikini style
panties rather than a g-string, traditional bra covering small but well
formed breasts. But with garter belt and stockings. And high heels.
A nasty thought came calling. Ashamed of myself I banished it. Sex
slavery is one thing, mockery is quite something else. I prowled around
her like a shark closing in for the kill. She stood quietly, head
lowered, outwardly relaxed. łHave you ever let a man see you naked?˛ I
barked. łNo, master-san.˛ She said quietly.
łTake off your shoes and stockings.˛
Wordlessly she obeyed.
łEver made love to a woman?˛
łNo.˛ Her hair hid her face, otherwise Iąd probably see her blushing
furiously.
łA man? An animal?˛
łNo, master-san!˛ Her composure had been shaken. łDoes the thought of
whatąs going to happen tonight excite you?˛ I asked, reaching out to
touch her for the Ţrst time. I stroked her arm. She shivered in spite
of herself. łVery much.˛
łTake off the rest of your clothes.˛ I said, stepping back. łAnd when
youąre naked, lie down on the couch, on your back.˛ With that same
eerie passivity she obeyed, never offering any resistance.
łNow, play with yourself. I want to see you make yourself come.˛ I
stood over the diminutive oriental girl laying on the couch and
watched.
Obedient, the girl spread her legs and began to stroke herself, already
excited. Five minutes later the sound of the door opening announced Mei
carrying a bag. She came up to me and presented the bag, tactfully
ignoring the Japanese girl who had stopped, frozen in shock.
łContinue!˛ I snapped. Aki did so, but closed her eyes. By now she was
gasping from her efforts, twitching now and then. I knew it wouldnąt be
much longer before she came. łDid you bring everything I asked for?˛ I
asked Mei Ling. Silently she nodded. I opened the bag and dumped the
contents on the ţoor. I knelt to inventory it, looking up to Ţnd Aki
watching me with widened eyes. She was begining to pant now, excited
but still unnaturally silent, almost as though she didnąt dare make a
sound.
When I picked up the paddle I thought sheąd faint, but it was instead
her orgasm. Aki shivered and emitted one strangled moan before
stopping.
łKeep going, slave girl.˛ I ordered, picking up a whip. Aki shivered,
but obeyed. Ignoring the masturbating girl I turned back to Mei.
łDragon Lady, you have proven yourself beyond compare. Iąm going to
reward you.˛
łMaster?˛ Mei asked, tilting her head.
łIąm giving you the rarest, most valuable gift I can think of.˛ I took
her hands. She looked at me, pleased but perplexed.
łWhat gift, master?˛
łAkiąs virginity.˛
Both oriental girls froze.
łWhat do you mean, master?˛ Mei said, shocked. łYouąll insert one of
those double ended dildos into your cunt, and strap it in place so you
have a cock. Then youąll bind Aki, make love to her, and Ţnally break
her cherry. And after you make her come that way, youąre going to fuck
her in the ass.˛
Aki was staring at me, paralyzed.
łKeep going, Aki.˛ I said, then turned my attention to Mei. She had
recovered, and was watching Aki. łAre you sure, master?˛ Mei asked,
obviously aroused by the idea. łA slave girląs virginity is very rare.˛
I kissed her. łA Ţtting gift for you, Mei Ling. Donąt you want to
prepare Aki to take my cock?˛
łAh!˛ Mei said, face clearing. łI didnąt understand, master. Of course
I will. For you.˛
łDoes this scare you, Aki?˛ I asked. She nodded jerkily. łHave I
reached your limits yet?˛ The Japanese girl laid still for a moment.
łNo, master-san. This humble one would be honored.˛ She said.
łLiar.˛ I said gently. She reacted as if Iąd slapped her. Mei dropped
to her knees next to Aki.
łBut I am honored, Aki.˛ Mei said, bowing her head. łYou are very
beautiful. I am eager to open you for my master. To prepare you for the
ecstasy he will bring you.˛ Aki watched Mei with a puzzled look.
łTake her to her room. Get whatever youąll need from the dungeon. Oh,
make sure you give her an enema too. Arouse her, but wait before you
take her cherry. I want her to see Teresa Ţrst.˛
łYes, master.˛ She pulled the passive Aki to her feet and led her from
the room.

Chapter 42 No Limits

I went looking for Tara. She wasnąt in the dungeon, but I noticed that
someone had been rumaging through the leather clothing. Knowing what
that meant I headed for Teresaąs room. The Ţrst thing I heard when I
walked in was the whoosh-crack of the cane rather heavily applied.
Followed closely by Teresaąs yelp.
łPlease, no more! Iąll be good, I promise!˛ Teresa was in tears. Tara
stood over her dressed in a skimpy leather outŢt that left most of her
bare. In her hand was a thin birch wand. When she looked up at me her
eyes were blazing. Who was it that said łscratch a coward and youąll
Ţnd a bully˛?
łHi.˛ She said, waving the birch rod.
łGood evening, Tara. Good evening, Teresa.˛ I brought a chair over to
the bed and straddled it, studying Teresa. There were several red
streaks across her belly and breasts. The inside of her thighs also
bore tell-tale marks. I counted at least ten stripes on her. Tara
didnąt strike Teresa again, obviously waiting for me to tell her she
could continue. The latina was sobbing, obviously uncomfortable. But
her nipples were erect, and her pussy was damp. I slipped one Ţnger
into her, testing. She gasped, and arched her hips. łContinue.˛ I said
to Tara. łBut donąt hit her any harder than you already have. And avoid
her face and pussy.˛ łYes, master.˛ Tara said, then brought the cane
down across Teresaąs belly. The latina made a keening noise. Tara ran
her hand down Teresaąs leg.
łPlease, Tara, Iąll be good. I promise.˛ Teresa whimpered. Tara struck
several more times, across her breasts, on the inside of Teresaąs
thighs, on her belly. łOh, Madre de Dios, make her stop, master, make
her stop!˛ łOf course.˛ I said, gesturing for Tara to stop. łNow, Iąve
done something for you. You have to do something for me.˛ łWhat?˛
Teresa gulped, catching her breath. łConfess your secret to Tara.˛
łI canąt!˛ Teresa wailed.
łKeep caning her until she confesses to you, Tara.˛ I said, getting up.
łThen insert the Cucumber. Iąll bring Aki by in a few minutes. We may
even catch her confession.˛ łNo, wait! Master!˛ Teresa cried
desperately. łIąll do it! Iąll do it!˛
Tara looked at me then at Teresa.
łGo ahead, then.˛ I said, settling back. Teresa tried to control her
weeping, and slowly brought herself under control. łMy father-˛ She
started. Then she stopped. łGo on.˛ I said remorselessly.
łMy father liked to rape me in the ass.˛ Teresa blurted out. Then she
closed her eyes and tensed. Tara looked at her, puzzled.
łWhat?ą She shook her head, as though to clear something from her ears.
łMy father used to tie me face down on the bed and spank me until I
begged him to stop. Then he would fuck me up the ass.˛ Teresa repeated.
łReally?˛ Tara asked, acting like she couldnąt believe what Teresa was
saying. But she was interested, I could tell. łIąll leave you two alone
to-discuss this.˛ I said. łDonąt forget to insert the Cucumber, Tara.
She looks wet enough.˛ łOh, ok, master.˛ The red-haired girl said
distractedly. łAnd Tara?˛
łYes, master?˛ She asked, looking up.
łIf she doesnąt want to talk about it, cane her.˛ I said. łBut keep
whatever you learn to yourself. Or Iąll cane you, understand?˛
łYes, master.˛ Tara said nervously. As I turned to go, Tara was picking
up the Cucumber.
When I got to Akiąs room Mei kissed me as I took her in my arms. Aki
watched us from the bed, still naked but now spread- eagled by the bed
chains, and chained by her neck as well. łIs she cooperating?˛ I asked.
Mei nodded. łShe is the perfect slave, master.˛ Mei said, smiling up at
me.
łFinish getting ready.˛ I said. Then I turned to the girl on the bed.
łHello, Aki.˛ I said as warmly as I could. She just nodded to me, then
looked at my chest. Her hair was spread over the pillow so that she
wasnąt lying on it, and it didnąt cover her. Her small breasts were
almost invisible in her current pose. łIąm going to ask you one more
time. Are you sure you want to do this? Say yes now, and you canąt
change your mind.˛ łYes, master-san.˛ Aki spoke. łI yours. No limits.˛
łMei Ling is going to prepare you now.˛ I said. łThe Ţrst thing sheąll
do is play with you until youąre almost ready to come. Then while
youąre still excited sheąs going to take you to watch Teresa, to show
you what lies in store for you tomorrow night.˛
Mei had Ţnished and was standing quietly listening. łAfter she brings
you back here, youąll make love to her. When sheąs ready for you,
sheąll put on her dildo and break your cherry. After that sheąll put
you on your stomach, give you a long, slow, real spanking, then fuck
you in the ass.˛ łDo you understand?˛
łYes, master-san.˛ Aki spoke quietly, but her eyes were wide. łAnd
after sheąs done preparing you, sheąll come and get me. And then Iąll
be the one fucking each of your openings. Do you understand that?˛
łYes, master-san.˛
łAnd you agree itąs what you want?˛
łI no want it, but I do it.˛ Aki said, looking me in the eyes for a
moment. łI trust you, master-san. You not hurt me?˛ It was a question.
łIąll hurt you, Aki. But I wonąt injure you. Last chance, do you want
to stop?˛
łNo, master-san.˛
łYou understand what I want?˛ I asked Mei. łYou want me to open her for
you, master. Every hole.˛ Mei said. łAre you going to stay?˛
łNo. But I might be watching. Bring her as many orgasms as you can,
Dragon Lady. And make her enjoy her spanking too.˛ łYes, master.˛ She
stretched up and kissed me. Smiling at her I returned to my room and
set up the video recorders. Teresa was alone, shivering on her bed. The
Cucumber was in place. I studied the latina, making sure nothing was
wrong. The stripes from her caning were livid against her skin, almost
like shadows.
Tara, on the other hand, wasnąt alone. Thuy was with her. The petite
oriental girl was stretched out face down on Taraąs bed, chained
spread-eagle. I watched alertly. Tara was spreading KY jelly over a
large vibrator. She then pushed it against Thuyąs asshole. I zoomed in
for a close up. Thuy cried out as the toy forced its way into her. Tara
kept twisting and pushing until the only the vibratorąs base was
visible.
Thuy was gasping and moaning. Tara sneered down at her and took a
second vibrator, then shoved it into the tiny orientaląs cunt. Thuy
whimpered, but her hips moved in a way that let me know she was
aroused.
Then Tara picked up the cane. My hand darted toward the intercom
button, and paused. Instead I triggered the video recorder and turned
down the volume as Thuy screamed. The other girls were either asleep or
doing non-sexual things. So I split my attention between Thuy/Tara and
Mei/Aki. Tara spent the next Ţfteen minutes caning Thuy, most of the
time just running the cane over her, but also striking from time to
time. The Vietnamese girl came at least once from a combination of the
vibrators and punishment. At one point Tara kissed the bound Vietnamese
girl full on the mouth. Hmm, I thought to myself, good for you, Tara.
Thuyąs reaction was something to see, she moaned and went limp, her
submission visble and complete. When Tara drew back I could see in her
face, her pose, how turned on it made her. Slowly, hesitantly, she
removed her leather bra, freeing her breasts. Even more hesitantly, she
pressed her naked breasts against Thuyąs back. Thuy said something I
couldnąt hear. Tara froze, then slowly dragged herself down Thuyąs
back, caressing the helpless girl with her nipples all the way to
Thuyąs ass. łYes, mistress, that feels so good.˛ Thuy crooned. łThank
you.˛ Tara jerked up, startled. A look of fury crossed her face, and
she smacked Thuyąs bottom, hard. Thuy just pushed her ass high,
silently begging. Tara began spanking Thuy as hard as she could, Thuy
just rose up to meet Taraąs hand, moaning with each blow, both
vibrators still embedded in her and running. I shifted my attention to
Mei and Aki, turning down Thuyąs moans and the loud smacking noises of
palm against smooth ass ţesh. Aki took longer to arouse than I would
have thought. She laid passively as Mei worked her wiles. The Chinese
girl was inventive, sparing no part of Akiąs body from her Ţngers and
tongue. In all honesty, I donąt think Aki liked it very much, in the
sense she wanted Mei to do it. That she was getting pleasure from it
only seemed to unsettle her.
Finally, though, she was visibly excited. Thatąs when Mei released her
and led her to Teresaąs room. Aki stood silently, watching the blushing
Teresa as the latina fought not to show just how turned on she was by
the thing in her cunt. Mei smiled encouragement to both of them, going
so far as to kiss Teresa. Teresa eagerly accepted the kiss, unlike Aki
she enjoyed Meiąs attentions for their own sake. I studied Teresaąs
body, noting the red marks the cane had left. No welts marred her, for
which I was grateful. The two ortiental girls stayed with the bound
latina until the Cucumber brought her to a gasping jerky orgasm. Teresa
resisted it, Ţghting her climax till Mei said.
łItąs ok to like this, Teresa. Our master is watching you, and he wants
you to feel the great ecstasy, over and over, to show you itąs good,
that thereąs nothing sinful or evil about pleasing him. Obey him,
Teresa. Relax, itąs ok, it really is. Now enjoy it!˛
With a strangled moan Teresa surrendered herself to her orgasm, crying
out something in Spanish I didnąt understand, as she fought her chains,
lifting herself as the Cucumber remorselessly continued even in the
face of her surrender. After she had quieted, Mei hugged Teresa and led
the docile Aki back to her room.
Aki was so obedient Mei didnąt bother to chain her as she made love to
the tiny Japanese girl. This time Aki joined in with a will, timidly
kissing Mei between the legs, then getting bolder at the Chinese girląs
urging. Soon Mei was sighing in pleasure as Akiąs Ţngers and tongue
probed between her legs. She pulled the other girl around, not quite on
top of her, so that she could return the favor.
It took half an hour before Aki came, crying out a short soft moan. The
two girls had tried various positions, even cuddling spoon fashion, Mei
behind, cupping Akiąs breasts, gently twisting her nipples. But Aki
ended up coming when laying on her back, Mei on her belly between the
Japanese girląs legs. Aki held her hand out to Mei, silently thanking
her. Mei pulled her into an embrace, rocking her, both of them on their
sides. łItąs time, Aki.˛ Mei said softly, holding the smaller girl. łI
have to tie you down, masterąs orders.˛ Wordlessly the Japanese girl
pulled away and turned onto her back. She trembled once as Mei spread
her legs, and fastened the straps around her ankles. When Mei was
Ţnished Aki said something to her so softly I couldnąt catch it. The
chinese girl nodded, stroking Akiąs stomach.
łI promise.˛ She said. Turning away she picked up the double dildo she
would deţower Aki with and put one end in her mouth. When it was wet
enough to suit her, she inserted it into her pussy, pumping it several
times in and out, enjoying the feel. Languorously she put on the
harness that held the dildo inside her, adjusting it with slow,
unconcerned hands as she studied the bound girl before her.
łOur master has given me quite an honor, Aki.˛ Mei said, putting one
knee on the bed as she ran her hands over the virgin. łIąm going to
take your cherry. It wonąt hurt for very long, I promise.˛
Her hands probed between Akiąs legs for a moment. łYouąre already wet,
ready for me. Good.˛ Mei slipped into bed, mounting the helpless girl,
who struggled almost instinctively for a moment.
Mei spoke to Aki, too softly for me to hear what she said, arranging
the dildo, the tip pressing into Akiąs crotch. I saw Mei tense, her
legs coming together, hiding Aki beneath her. The Japanese girl cried
out, sharply as Meiąs ass shoved forward and down, driving the rubber
dildo into Akiąs virgin body. She sobbed as Mei laid still on top of
her, stroking her hair. Mei said something quietly, but Aki continued
to cry. Finally, without having fucked her, Mei pulled out. She moved
to cradle Akiąs head. The bound girl continued to sob, turning her face
into Meiąs belly. I zoomed in for a closeup. Sure enough, just the
smallest trace of blood trailed down Akiąs inner thigh.
After Aki quieted, Mei slipped between her chained apart legs and began
to lick her pussy. After a few minutes Aki squirmed in her bonds,
arching her back as the Chinese girląs relentless tongue aroused her.
As I continued to watch my unease grew. I could tell something was
wrong, but I couldnąt put my Ţnger on it. To all outward appearances
Aki was the perfect slave girl, obedient, humble, totally submissive.
She was a quiet little thing, never speaking unless spoken to, in fact
sheąd only spoken three or four words since her fantasy began.
As the Japanese girl squirmed the feeling continued to get stronger.
Something wasnąt right. And while it was possible Akiąs passivity was
normal for her, none of the other girls had displayed it.
Still silent, Aki began to move more franticly, pushing herself against
Meiąs mouth. She came again, a short strangled cry the only outward
sign. No words, only that one short cry. Mei mounted her again, this
time pushing in without pausing. Aki stiffened, but didnąt protest as
the Chinese girl began to pump the dildo in and out of her. She even
helped as much as she could.
The bizzare deţoration continued. Mei began to get excited by the dildo
that was fucking her even as it fucked Aki. Her movements got faster,
her breathing grew ragged. She hugged the girl under her, raining
kisses over Akiąs face and neck. łAki, oh, I think Iąm coming!˛ She
moaned. Her voice mirrored surprized disbelief. I had to smile as I
watched Mei approach her orgasm, warmed by her pleasure.
When she did come it lasted a long time, and all during it she thrust
hard into Aki. The Japanese girl was crying, it must have hurt her, but
she didnąt say a word.
After Mei recovered, she saw Akiąs tears. łDid I hurt you?˛ She asked,
concerned, wiping away Akiąs tears. Aki just shook her head. łPlease
tell me the truth, Aki. Itąs ok, shh. I didnąt mean to.˛ Mei said.
łTell me.˛ łIt hurt a little.˛ Aki admitted, so softly I barely heard
her through the camera mike. łBut it no matter. I only slave. Hurt me
if you want.˛
I was moving instinctively before my head caught up to my legs.
Half-way to Akiąs room I realized why I was moving. Akiąs words had
echoed Alimaąs too closely the night Iąd pushed her to near suicide. It
was not going to happen again. I didnąt even slow down as I hit Akiąs
door. It wasnąt locked, so I burst in, Ţnding Mei cuddling Aki and
talking softly to her.
łAki needs you, master.˛ Mei said, holding the Japanese girl. Akiąs
eyes ţicked to me, then she turned her head, hiding against the larger
Chinese girl.
łI know.˛ I said. My Ţngers ţew over the buckle on Akiąs ankle. Long
practice made the strap loosen instantly. Then I did one wrist,
thankful Mei hadnąt used locks. Mei caught on, freeing Akiąs other
wrist. I did her remaining ankle, but stopped Mei before she could free
Akiąs collar. łNo.˛ I said softly. Mei watched me, confused. łAki, look
at me.˛
The Japanese girl did so, not meeting my eyes, looking at my chest.
Fighting the urge to shake her I took hold of my growing fear with both
hands.
łLook at me.˛ I demanded, lifting her chin so she had to. She watched
me calmly, face betraying no emotion, obedient. Only dried tears showed
sheąd even been crying. Nobody home, I thought to myself. I didnąt know
what was happening, but I kept seeing Alima laying there instead of
Aki. łAki, are you ok?˛ I asked. She nodded. łTell me. In words.˛ łI
Ţne, master-san.˛ Aki said quietly. łFuck me now, please?˛ Her voice
was so calm, so detached. It raised the hairs on the back of my neck. I
looked at Mei.
The Chinese girl looked uncertain, knowing something was wrong but not
knowing what it was. She seemed content to let me handle it. I looked
back at Aki.
She hadnąt moved when weąd freed her, she still lay with arms and legs
outstretched, as though bound.
łGet on your hands and knees.˛ I Ţnally ordered. Aki moved to obey,
awkward because of the short neck chain. She ended up crouched on knees
and elbows, unable to raise her head far enough for hands and knees.
łIąm going to have Mei fuck you in the ass, now, Aki.˛ I said. Aki
didnąt move, didnąt shiver. I might as well have told her the sky was
blue for all the reaction she showed. łDo you understand, Aki?˛ I
asked, feeling that perhaps I wasnąt on the right track.
łYes, master-san.˛
łAsk her to do it. Beg her.˛
łPlease, fuck my ass.˛ Aki said obediently. Mei looked at me, alarmed
by Akiąs unnatural calmness.
łMaster?˛ She asked, uncertain. I motioned for her to move into
position. Reluctantly she did so, reaching for the lubricant. When
Meiąs Ţnger penetrated her, Aki bit her lip but made no other outward
sign of distress. She crouched quietly as Mei Ţnished.
łAki, ask Mei to fuck your ass.˛ I said, reaching under her to feel her
nipples. They werenąt hard.
łFuck my ass, Mei.˛ Aki sounded like a parrot, as calm as if she were
asking Mei for a cup of coffee. łIt will hurt, Aki.˛ I said. łDo you
want that?˛ łI your slave, master-san. Hurt me. I do anything you
want.˛ She said quietly.
łDo you want me to hurt you?˛ I asked, feeling the wrongness get
stronger.
łI your slave, master-san.˛ She repeated. łDo what you want.˛ łFuck
her, Mei.˛ I said, squeezing Akiąs nipples hard. Aki groaned quietly as
Mei thrust.
The anal ravishment made Aki cry again, but she didnąt resist at all,
not even to beg Mei to be gentle. The Chinese girl was moving slowly,
playing with Akiąs pussy, trying to be as easy as she could, trying to
make Aki enjoy it.
Aki moved, partially in pain, partially because she simply couldnąt
keep still with Mei shoving her from behind. łKiss me, Aki.˛ I said,
leaning down. Crying softly, Aki turned her head, kissing me, even
opening her mouth without prompting. I spent the next few minutes
giving her commands, small things to try and catch her attention.
Things like squeezing her own breasts, counting backward from 10,
taking my hand, stroking her own clit. Nothing broke through that
passive obedience.
łMaster, Iąm going to come again.˛ Mei said, gasping. At least Mei was
still normal. Smiling at her I said. łYou have my permission, Dragon
Lady. Come as hard as you can.˛
łThank you, master! Oh, it wonąt-wonąt be long.˛ Aki cried out softly
as Mei drove in particularly deeply. I turned my attention back to the
Japanese girl. She was making small noises as the rubber dildo slide in
and out of her asshole.
łWhatąs your motherąs name, Aki?˛ I snapped suddenly. Aki looked at me,
still calm. łAnswer me.˛
łMariko.˛ She said Ţnally.
łWhatąs 6 times 12?˛
łI not know.˛ She said, her voice showing just a hint of something else.
łAnswer me, Aki. Obey.˛ I reached under her and tweaked a nipple, hard.
She started to pull away, then went calm again, letting me.
łI no can think now, master-san.˛ She answered in that same calm tone.
Mei moaned, choosing to let her orgasm take her. Aki groaned as the
Chinese girląs climax made her loose control and push deeper than sheąd
intended.
łI command you to think, Aki.˛ I said. łYou donąt have a choice. Whatąs
6 times 12?˛
łI not know.˛ She answered, grunting as Mei pulled free. The Chinese
girl made a face and headed for the bathroom. I smacked Aki hard on the
bottom.
łThink, Aki. On your back. Iąm going to make you suck my cock, but not
before you tell me the answer.˛ I stood up and began to undress. Aki
watched me, the faintest hint of a frown on her face. Naked, but not
erect I rejoined her. I ran one hand appreciatively down her front,
from her breasts to between her legs. She was wet, but not very. I
slipped one Ţnger into her and began to caress her clit with my thumb.
She reacted, arching her back, pushing against my hand. łAnswer me.˛
łI no can think now, master-san.˛ She repeated. łObey me, Aki. I
command you to think.˛
łNO!˛ She suddenly yelled. łI no think! Fuck me, hurt me, but I no
think!˛ And she burst into tears. I kept masturbating her, knowing the
crisis was upon us. Mei came back, her face concerned. The harness was
still in place, making the dildo jut out.
łTake off your harness, Mei.˛ I said, struck by the funny sight in
spite of the crying girl now gripping my wrist, pulling my hand harder
into her. łThen go to bed.˛ łAre you sure, master?˛ She asked. łDo you
need help?˛ łProbably. But this one Iąll handle by myself. Scoot.˛
łYes, master.˛ She said, removing the harness then pulling the dildo
free. Coming to the bed she kissed me quickly. łGood luck.˛ She
whispered, then left.
I turned my attention back to Aki. She was calming down again, watching
me with a gaze empty of emotion. It was a shocking contrast to the
tears still leaking from her eyes, and the death grip she had on my
wrist.
łYouąre being disobedient, Aki. Obey me. Answer my question.˛ łI no can
master-san.˛
łYou must, slave girl. This isnąt a request.˛ łI no know, master-san. I
no can think now.˛ She yelped when I twisted her nipple, hard. ł78!˛
She gasped. I let go, and she relaxed. Stopping her masturbation I went
and picked up a small short whip intended for a womanąs breasts or
pussy. łThatąs the wrong answer.˛ I said. łSpread your legs. Iąm going
to whip your pussy until you scream.˛ łYes, master-san. I sorry to be
bad.˛ Aki spread her legs. łDonąt close them, no matter what.˛ I said.
She nodded. Moving around so I was facing her feet I slapped the whip
against her crotch. She screamed, jerking. Lightening my strokes I
continued. Aki began to sob, each stroke making her twist
involuntarily. But she kept her legs apart for half a dozen strokes.
łWhat is 6 times 12?˛ I asked, stopping.
łI not know!˛ She gasped. łI no think now!˛ łClose your eyes. Keep
count as I whip your breasts.˛ She closed her eyes, hands at sides,
legs still spread wide. łOne!˛ She gasped. Her breasts may have been
small, but that didnąt make them any less sensitive to the sting of the
whip. She breathed deeply, waiting for the next one. łTwo! Three!˛ Each
word was almost a shout. But she was growing calmer, more detached.
This wasnąt working. łIf you donąt obey, me, Aki, Iąm going to have to
send you home.˛ I said, tossing down the whip.
łNo, master-san, please!˛ She said, opening her eyes. The threat seemed
to have dented whatever was causing her detachment, she wasnąt frantic,
but she wasnąt quite so calm now either.
łYouąll obey?˛ I asked. She nodded. łWhat is 6 times 12?˛ She just
stared at me. I waited calmly.
łI not know.˛ She said Ţnally.
łTake off your collar, Aki. Youąve failed me. Youąre going home in the
morning.˛ It was the ultimate threat. If this didnąt break through,
nothing would.
łNo, master-san, I no go home. I yours. No limits.˛ łExcept you wonąt
obey. No, Aki, Iąm sorry. I wonąt accept a slave girl who deŢes me and
lies to me.˛ łI no lie!˛ She insisted. łI no can think now.˛ łWhy?˛ I
asked, wanting to touch her desperately, knowing it would be tragic to
accept her as she was now. łBecause if think, I not a slave.˛ Aki said
after a long internal struggle. łSlaves no think, only obey. No
limits.˛ She watched me, not quite so detached as before. łMy slaves
think. And they have limits.˛ I said Ţrmly. łYou will think, and you
will accept limits, do you understand Aki?˛ łYes, master-san. I try.˛
łNo, Aki. You wonąt try you will do. No excuses. Understand?˛ She
stared at me, emotions Ţnally beginning to cross her bland
expressionless face.
Speaking quite clearly and slowly, her accent much less noticable she
said. łI have no limits. You command, I obey. That all.˛
łThen think. What is 6 times 12?˛
łIf I think I not a slave.˛ She said. łI your slave. That all.˛
łI command you to think and be a slave, Aki.˛ łYou command me to ţy I
still not able.˛ Aki said, obviously struggling to tell me something
important. łFuck your slave, master-san. Please. But no ask to think! I
no can!˛ łWhat is 6 times 12?˛ I asked again, implacable. Aki stared at
me for a long time. Then, sighing, she closed her eyes and reached up
to unbuckle her collar. Pulling it free she tossed it against the
headboard and turned her back to me. ł72. Go away. Damn you to hell.˛
She said bitterly. łYou ruin everything!˛
łYou can leave in the morning, Aki.˛ I said, the bottom dropping out
from my feet. Aki was the last of the harem Iąd ever expected to lose.
Not even Meiąs leaving would have surprized me more.
łBut until then I still own you. And youąll obey your master. Or Iąll
force you.˛
łRape me?˛ She spun around, looking at me wildly. łYou no can! You no
serious!˛
łGet under the covers, Aki. Or Iąll put you there.˛ I said coldly.
Suddenly terriŢed, the girl did as commanded. She pulled down the
covers and got under them, pulling them up to her neck, knuckles
whitening from fear. Turning to the collection of toys I picked up one
of the silk ropes last used to bind Sherry.
When I turned back to the bed Aki looked so scared I thought sheąd
faint.
łGet on your belly, Aki. Now.˛ Wordlessly, the frightened girl did so.
I pulled the covers down, baring her back and the top of her ass. She
resisted me pulling one arm behind her back, until I spanked her hard.
Without being told she put her other arm in position. Moving very
slowly and carefully, I wrapped about three feet of rope around her
crossed wrists, making sure the rope wasnąt too tight.
Aki was trembling as I knotted the rope. łRoll onto your back, Aki.˛ I
commanded. She did so, wincing a bit as her weight more down on her
wrists.
I put one arm under her shoulders, pulling her into a sitting up
position. She shuddered at my touch. Pulling her wrists up to her waist
in back I was able to wrap the remaining rope around her waist three
times, with just enough left over for the knots. Then I went over and
turned off the lights. Groping my way back to Akiąs bed I got in and
pulled the trembling girl so that she lay on top of me, face to face.
łNow, Aki, itąs time to face what no limits really means.˛ I said.
łI not slave now. This rape.˛ Aki said, her warm naked body light on my
own.
łHereąs the way things work.˛ I said, running my hands down her back. I
let them come to rest on her bound wrists. Aki had stiffened, then
relaxed with a jerk when she realized I wasnąt going to touch her ass.
łYou have one chance to tell me the truth. No evasions, no lies, no
half-truths. If you even hesitate, Iąll force you to have sex with me.
It isnąt rape, since your term of consent lasts till 6 AM. Of course,
itąs your choice, if youąd rather have me force myself into you than
tell me the truth, thatąs your business.˛
łThink about it, Aki. Youąre facing the single most important choice
youąve ever faced. The consequences of whatever choice you make will
affect you for the rest of your life, one way or another.˛
łIąm forcing you to talk to me. You came here wanting to be my slave,
and I accepted you on those terms. Now you want to change the rules.
Why?˛
łI no understand!˛ Aki burst out. łI did everything I could! You no
fair!˛
łYou gave me your body.˛ I said, squeezing her hand. She froze. łBut
you didnąt give me your mind, your heart, or your soul. I watched
everything that Mei did to you tonight, Aki. I donąt know where the
hell you were, but it wasnąt here at Ravenąs Wing.˛
łYou watch?˛ Aki stired Ţtfully. łWhy?˛
łBecause I wanted to see you lose your virginity. But you havenąt, have
you, Aki? At least not by my deŢnition.˛ łI no understand.˛ Aki said.
She couldnąt hold her head up any longer and I felt her face brush past
mine. I couldnąt resist stroking her hair with one hand. She stiffened.
łI no virgin now. Mei broke me.˛
łYour body, Aki. Not your soul. You didnąt give yourself, you let
yourself be used. Why canąt you let yourself go, lady? Why canąt slaves
think? Tell me the truth.˛
She was silent for a long time. I knew she wasnąt asleep because she
reacted to the slightest shift in my weight. Finally she shuddered, and
spoke in a rush.
łI ashamed, master-san. No proper Japanese girl want what I want! It
dishonors me, my family, my ancestors! You no know how much my dishonor
shames me! I no think, then I can be slave, and no dishonor, because
Aki Yamoto not a slave. Only Aki. Aki is yours, master-sama, no limits.
Aki Yamoto must keep her honor. For my family. For my ancestors. You
make me dishonor myself, telling you this thing.˛ And the woman in my
arms shuddered. I just lay there in shock. How the hell was I going to
handle this one? But as I lay there I could feel Akiąs warm helpless
body pressing against mine, shivering from time to time. And the
conviction grew in me I had to do something. No half-hearted comfort,
either, but the real thing.
The question was, how? And what?
My mind kicked into overdrive, but there was nothing for my mental
wheels to grab onto. I needed information I didnąt have, and I needed
it quickly!
łAki, listen to me.˛ I spoke quietly, stroking her hair. łDo you trust
me?˛
Aki didnąt respond for a long time. Finally, she said. łYes,
master-sama.˛
łYou know I wouldnąt lie to you?˛
łYes, master-sama.˛ Her voice was resigned. łThen I swear this to you.
I will have Aki, and Aki Yamoto both, with Aki Yamotoąs honor intact.
There will be no dishonor for you, lady. Not now, and not ever, not to
you, not to your family, and not to your ancestors. By my honor, Aki.˛
łThis unworthy one thanks you, master-sama.˛ And for the Ţrst time
emotion choked her voice. I held her as she wept, not saying anything,
just being a warm body to cry against. It took a long time, but Ţnally,
Aki quieted. Then she quite deliberately spread her legs and rubbed
herself against me. łFuck your slave, master-sama. Please.˛ Aki
whispered in my ear.
łNot yet, Aki.˛ I said, gently turning her onto her side. Pulling away
slightly I fumbled with the knots in her waist rope. łWhen I take Aki
Yamoto, she will know her honor is safe with me. Until that time it
would be wrong.˛ The ropes came free, and I began losening her wrist
ropes. All during the process she lay still. When she was free she
hugged me.
łYouąre still my property till 6.˛ I said softly, holding her loosely.
łGo to my room and wait for me in bed. There are things I have to do,
promises I have to keep.
łYes, master-sama.˛ Aki slipped out of bed and obediently groped her
way to the door. When she opened it the dim hall lighting spilled over
her, outlining her small form without revealing more than a tantalizing
glimpse. After she closed the door behind her I stumbled to the
lightswitch, turned it on, and got dressed.
Then I headed to the library.

Chapter 43 Matters Of Honor

Fortunately for me, my library is a composite of books that had come
with the house and those Iąd brought with me, or bought since. I
scoured everything I could Ţnd about Japanese culture, history, the
concept of honor, and anything else even vaguely related.
By midnight I had the faintest glimmer of a plan. I wanted desperately
to talk it over with Mei, but reluctantly decided I couldnąt. From what
Iąd read, the Chinese concept of honor was just different enough to
make Meiąs opinion suspect. Besides, Akiąs honor could well hinge on my
not talking about it to Mei. Damn, I hate these life-and-death
decisions! And with Aki suicide was a remote possibility. She really
regarded her honor as worth keeping at any cost. I reread her folder,
her letters, seeing the diminuative little Japanese girl in a whole new
light.
I couldnąt imagine doing what she had done, going after something I
wanted desperately in the face of such a formidable obstacle. She was
(in her eyes) risking everything in one go- for-broke attempt. Even I
could see how foolish Aki was being, how incredibly insane her actions
were.
And yet, and yetŠ
Something inside me admired her very much because she was being so
stupid. Because she was risking everything she had, or hoped to have
someday, for such an intangible dream. And part of me argued that maybe
she wasnąt being so stupid after allŠ I couldnąt let her fail. Yet the
only way she could have what she wanted sobered me as much as the sight
of Mei holding a gun on Tara had. With a heavy tread I returned to my
room. Aki blinked at me from my bed when I turned the light on. She had
been asleep, her hair a black nest from which her almond eyes peered
sleepily. She sat up, the blankets falling unnoticed around her waist.
łAki, I found the answer to your problem.˛ I said, my voice slow and
serious. łBut it will scare the living daylights out of you.˛
łMaster-sama?˛ Aki asked, confused.
łNot master, not now.˛ I said, sitting down on the bed. łBut there is a
way for Aki Yamoto and Aki to become one woman again. With her honor
intact. Are you sure this is what you want, Aki?˛ łYes.˛ Her face was a
study in naked desire. Feeling my throat close I leaned forward and
kissed her. Her response was total, she threw her arms around me,
shivering. When I broke the kiss I saw tears trickling silently down
her face. She waited for me to speak, the blankets around her waist
leaving her bare. She didnąt notice, and I donąt think sheąd have cared
if she had. łI donąt know very much about Japanese culture, Aki. I
donąt know who you are, not really. Are you Japanese? Are you American?
Or something in between?˛
łMy parents from Japan.˛ Aki said quietly. łI born in California. My
parents not rich, but not so poor. My father, he say he come from Japan
to make new life. I not know why for sure, but was some loss of honor.
It not talked about, but I know it. Our family not welcome in Japan.˛
Here she bowed her head, letting her hair hide her face. Her voice grew
very quiet, I had to put my head less than a foot away to hear her.
łThat why I ashamed, master-sama. I bring more dishonor to my family,
to my ancestors. But I need to be slave!˛ Her voice died away
completely.
łAki Yamoto˛, I spoke softly. łLook at me. There is a way to be my
slave, and gain honor for you and your family and your ancestors by
doing so.˛
łHow?˛ She pleaded softly. łMaster-sama, you do that I yours forever!˛
łHonor,˛ I said slowly, feeling my way. łto the Japanese is a measure
of worth, of place in society, of dependability, trustworthiness,
decency. Itąs a measure of a personąs deeds, loyalty, obedience,
talent, and success. Is that right?˛ Aki thought about it, then nodded.
łBut also family and ancestors, master-sama.˛ I nodded.
łTherefore a slave girl could have honor also, yes?˛ łBeing slave is
great dis-honor, master.˛ Aki corrected me. łWhat about being a
handmaiden?˛ I asked softly. łA personal retainer, who obeys her master
in all things. Totally loyal, totally obedient, she could gain much
honor, yes?˛ Aki thought about it. She was silent long enough to make
me think she was silent so she wouldnąt contradict me. Just as I was
about to prompt her, she spoke.
łSamurai very honorable, master-sama. Bushido makes so. They no worry
about dishonor, it no touch them. Their honor to their daimyo protects
them. They die in daiymoąs service, no matter.˛ She looked at me.
łI no follow bushido, master-sama. I no samurai.˛ She sat watching me,
apparently Ţnished.
łI donąt understand, Aki.˛ I said Ţnally. łI know you arenąt a samurai.
Why would you bring that up?˛ łSamurai swear honor to daimyo, to lord.
Only samurai, master- sama. Slaves no have honor, can not swear.˛ łYou
arenąt my slave, Aki.˛ I said softly. She laughed bitterly.
łI naked in your bed, I obey, no limit. Your command, I let Mei break
me. I slave, master-sama.˛
łI free you, Aki and I free Aki Yamoto. You are free now, both of you.
To become one woman again, to choose to swear honor to me, to become a
handmaiden. Your choice, Aki.˛ łYou play games, master-sama. I no
free.˛ Aki said, shaking her head. łWords no make me free.˛
I studied her, perplexed. You might think Iąd describe her as
inscrutable, or enigmatic. And she was (and still is!). But right now
the word stubborn seemed more appropriate. łYouąre very proud, Aki, you
know that?˛ I asked Ţnally. łMaster-sama?˛ She asked, startled. łI no
proud! I most humble slave.˛
łFilled with pride.˛ I said. łYouąre so proud of being a slave you
wonąt let yourself go free long enough to become a handmaiden. Somehow
itąs become the most important thing in your life. No, itąs become your
life. Why, Aki? I offer you something better, something far sweeter. A
handmaiden is almost the Japanese stereotype of the perfect woman.
Totally obedient, utterly at the command of her master. Isnąt that what
you really want?˛
łI no please you, master-sama?˛ Aki asked, lowering her head. I felt
exasperation building inside me, she just wasnąt listening.
łNo, Aki, you do not please me. How can you please me when you canąt
think, when I know what you do makes you ashamed, when every time you
submit to me you hurt yourself and those you love? Iąm not a monster,
Aki, I care for you. I donąt want to hurt you, or make you do things
that hurt others. Please, lady, let me give you the life you want
without the pain!˛ łI obey, master-sama. That all.˛ Aki said softly. I
closed my eyes and counted to ten. Twice. I felt the bed shift. Opening
my eyes I found Aki kneeling, bent over until her breasts were against
her knees, her hair hiding much of her. She didnąt move. łAki-˛ I said
helplessly. I put one hand gently on her back. She didnąt even twitch.
I could feel her slipping away, going deeper in herself. She would give
me her body, but not her mind. I could have Aki just by ordering her to
stretch out on the bed, but I couldnąt touch Aki Yamoto.
Which, of course, was who I really wanted. What I needed was a way to
relate to Aki Yamoto, to bring her out from the place she was hiding.
As I sat there I began to very carefully reconstruct the chain of
events, examining each link, going backwards. We didnąt move for a long
time, Aki bent over, kneeling, me just sitting there, one hand on her
back. I donąt know what she was thinking, probably nothing at all.
Suddenly the cliche light bulb appeared over my head. łAki, I want you
to go get dressed, and bring your ţute. Weąre going to visit a special
place.˛
łYes, master-sama.˛ Aki said quietly. She slipped out of bed, walking
gracefully to the door. While she was gone I made a sweep of the
cameras. Teresa was still in the grip of the Cucumber, gasping quietly
from time to time. Taraąs room was dark and silent.
Aki came back, her strange ţute tucked under one arm. She was wearing a
kimono, complete with obi. Her hair was still loose. She bowed to me,
and I tried to remember just how deep a bow to make in return. Cramming
is hell at test time! I tried to see if Aki Yamoto was beginning to
peek out from behind Akiąs eyes, but she was so serene I couldnąt tell.
Smiling gently at her, I took her arm and led her down the stairs and
out of the house. I didnąt say anything, leading her to the garden shed
where I picked up a lantern. łItąs not a paper lantern.˛ I apologized.
łAnd I donąt have a sand garden for you, but I think youąll like the
place I want to show you anyway.˛ I lit the lantern so weąd be able to
see. She didnąt say anything as we strolled arm in arm. It took about
ten minutes for us to reach the place I had in mind, a small creek that
ran through part of the forest. My property abuts wildlands, the creek
came from there, wandering through the fence and into my miniature
forest. In a tiny hidden clearing it ran over a small natural waterfall
about a foot high, then into a small pool, only about knee deep and a
pace wide, and from there back out into the wildlands.
The pool was bordered by soft moss, and there were rocks nature had
placed to make convenient chairs. In the light of the lantern the
clearing took on a fey quality, mysterious and magical. Turning to Aki
I saw her smiling.
łIt beautiful. This place you mean?˛
łYes. And I wanted you to see it. I wanted to share it with you.˛
łThank you.˛ Still smiling Aki sat down and took her ţute in hand. łYou
like to hear me play?˛
łIąd like that very much.˛ I said, taking another rock. In the light of
the lantern her eyes softened as she arranged the large many piped ţute
on her lap.
The Ţrst notes were soft like the breeze that brushed across us. Aki
began to play, her expression changing from a smile to peaceful
serenity as the music grew. She played something Japanese I think, I
didnąt recognize it. But the sound the ţute made was haunting, it Ţt
the clearing, becoming part of it, so natural it seemed the music had
always been there, just waiting for us.
I half-expected to see a unicorn slip from the surrounding trees to
listen. The girl sat quietly, moving only enough to play her bulky
instrument. As the eerie whistling notes continued, some wavering, some
pure enough to break the heart, I could feel myself relaxing, moving
into a strange mood. I didnąt care much anymore about Aki, or me, or
anything else. It was enough to sit and listen, to feel the warm breeze
send ghostly Ţngers through my hair. Aki watched me as she played, but
in a funny way I donąt think she noticed I was there, it was as though
I were a part of the place, as she was, and thus had no separate
existance.
When the Ţrst song ended she began another. Then a third. Time passed
us by, there in the clearing it had no meaning for us, didnąt exist for
us. Only the music mattered, how it Ţlled the clearing, how the notes
shaped themselves, shaped us, shaped the night that held us.
When the third song ended she paused for a moment, then ţashed me a
smile full of teasing mockery. She started to play łGreensleeves˛. The
mood of the clearing changed, became less mystical and more human. We
became ourselves again, a man listening enraptured to a beautiful woman
playing an ancient and haunting melody on an ţute from the dawn of
time. When the song was over, Aki carefully placed the ţute on the
rock, then rose gracefully. Walking to me she knelt, head back, looking
me in the eye.
łI Aki Yamoto, Paul-sama. I play ţute and make beautiful calligraphy.
Many skills. I be very faithful handmaiden, bring you much honor.
Please accept this humble oneąs honor for your own.˛
She watched me calmly, neither bold nor shy, kneeling serenely there in
the moss.
łYou know if I accept you youąll wear a collar for the rest of your
life, Aki?˛ I asked, heart heavy. She nodded. łYou know that I can do
whatever I like to you?˛ She nodded again. łNo limits, master-sama.˛
łYes limits, Aki!˛ I said forcefully, leaning down toward her.
łAbsolute limits you will not cross, do you understand?˛ łWhat limits?˛
Aki asked, still calm. This wasnąt Aki the slave girl, this was Aki
Yamoto, someone I hadnąt met before. I think I liked her better this
way.
łFirst, you will never, under any circumstances, cause harm to yourself
or through inaction allow yourself to be harmed, do you understand?
This is not negotiable.˛ łYes, master-sama.˛ She answered.
łSecond, you will strive to please me in every way, through every means
at your disposal. That bushido code you mentioned, doesnąt it say
something about there being no such thing as failure, only success or
death?˛
łYes, master-sama. But I no samurai.˛
łNo, youąre a handmaiden, and in many ways that is harder. For you
there is no such thing as failure. And you donąt have the option of
death, Aki. There may be times you wonąt be able to do what I want. But
if you give all of yourself in the attempt, then you wonąt have failed.
This is too important for a Śyes, masterą. I want to make sure you
understand, down in your soul.˛ She lowered her head and thought.
Minutes passed, Ţnally, she raised her head and looked at me.
łI no sure, master-sama. Please enlighten this unworthy one.˛ Was that
the slightest hint of mockery in her tone? I hoped so. łWhat if I
loaned you to another man and told you to have a dozen orgasms when he
made love to you? But you only managed one or two, or none at all,
despite your best efforts?˛ łThat no failure, master-sama?˛ She asked,
confused. łI no do what you say, that failure!˛
łNo, Aki.˛ I said, wanting to reach out and touch her cheek, but afraid
of disturbing the fragile link between us. łIf you did your best, and
honestly tried to obey, but your body failed you, that doesnąt mean you
failed me. Because you did everything you could.˛
łOn the other hand, if you were just being lazy, or angry over being
given to someone else, and didnąt try, then you would have failed me.
Do you see the difference?˛
She thought for a while, then nodded. łI think so. You say I no fail if
try, only fail if no try.˛
łYes! But try your best, Aki. Half-hearted attempts wonąt make it. Only
the best effort youąre capable of counts.˛ łI understand, master-sama.˛
łThird, you must obey me completely, no hesitation, no reluctance. But
at the same time, you must make sure you understand my commands to you.
And you are always to keep your personal safety foremost, is that
understood? If I ever command anything that would place you in danger,
you have the right, no, the duty, to refuse! Do you understand?˛ łYes,
master-sama.˛
łI wonder. What if I ordered you to hold your head under the water for
a full minute?˛ I said, pointing to the pool. łI refuse, master-sama.˛
She said, smiling. łGood girl!˛ I said, breaking into a grin. łYou do
understand! Make sure you never forget that. Within these limits, no
limits. Agreed?˛
łYes, master-sama. No limits but yours.˛
łNo, Aki Yamoto. No limits but those you must take into your soul and
treasure, no limits but yours.˛ łNo limits but mine.˛ She agreed,
smiling. łI yours now, master-sama. You want?˛
łI want very much.˛ I said, smiling. Quietly she rose and came to me.

Chapter 44 Under The Stars

Aki settled in my lap and kissed me. It was warm, gentle. But it soon
turned passionate, I held her light body in my lap, feeling the heat of
her through the thin silky material, letting my hands wander. Her arms
circled my neck as we continued to kiss.
I felt myself get hard and unexpectedly Aki chuckled. She broke the
kiss, slipping from my lap and pulled me down to the moss, on top of
her.
łTake me, master-sama, please.˛ She breathed in my ear. łTie me, fuck
your slave.˛ Her hands slipped around my back, her thighs opened,
making the kimono part. The warmth of her turned hot as bare ţesh slid
against my legs, even through the jeans I could feel the silken heat of
her.
łI donąt have any rope.˛ I said regretfully. łMy obi, master-sama. It
silk, very strong.˛ Aki whispered enticingly, pressing her hips upward.
łPlease tie your slave, this humble one begs, master-sama. Please.˛ She
kissed my neck. Breaking free I fumbled with the unfamiliar garment.
Aki laughed softly, guiding my hands, freeing the knot in back,
unhooking unsuspected clasps, slipping out of the silken robe like a
butterţy from a cocoon. Naked, she posed for me, legs open, wrists
crossed above her head, smiling in the lantern light.
łDoes this humble handmaiden please you, master-sama?˛ Aki asked,
watching me with half-closed eyes. łVery much.˛ I said, running one
hand down her belly, coming to rest on her pussy, feeling the slick
dampness. I pushed one Ţnger into her, making her arch and wince. She
gasped, but didnąt resist.
łYouąre still sore from Mei, arenąt you?˛ I asked, pushing my Ţnger in
and out. Her cunt was hot and slippery, she was aroused.
łYes, master-sama. Fuck your handmaiden, please?˛ Aki said as her
bottom slid back and forth on her kimono. łTie me like in my bed, when
you almost rape me.˛
łI donąt think so, little Aki.˛ I said, using my free hand to roll her
nipple between thumb and foreŢnger as I continued to masturbate her. łI
want you gagged, with your hands tied behind your neck, and I want your
ankles tied there too. Do you think your obi is long enough?˛
łYes, master-sama.˛ She said, face lighting up. łYou like that thought,
donąt you? You like being tied up?˛ łYes, master-sama!˛ Aki said
excitedly. łBlindfold too?˛ łI think we can arrange that.˛ I said,
chuckling. łGet up for a second, I want your obi.˛
She completed an eel-like maneuver that left her in a kneeling position.
łKnees apart.˛ I admonished her gently. Guiltily she changed position,
gasping when I slipped a hand under her. łThatąs why you kneel with
legs apart.˛ I said, smiling. Retrieving the obi I made Aki open her
mouth. The obi had to be folded lengthwise several times before it was
suitable as a gag. I tied it tightly, making Aki blink. Moving behind
her I had her lace her Ţngers behind her neck, wrapping the ends of the
obi around her wrists and knotting them. That still left two feet of
ends, which I thought would be sufŢcient. I helped the tiny oriental
girl lay back on her kimono, then wrapped the sleeves around her eyes
twice, knotting them in front so she couldnąt see anything.
Finally I folded her legs back against her breasts, tying each
seperately with the obi. It proved barely long enough. but she was held
helplessly, and thatąs what we both wanted. She was a beautiful sight
folded in half, I spent a minute admiring the view before starting on
her pussy. She cried out into her gag, only slightly mufţed, but
unintelligible. The sound was very arousing, as was her squirming naked
body as my tongue slid along her nether lips. She gasped and moaned
softly as the cunnilingus continued, my Ţngers and tongue probing her
gently, my teeth occasionally nibbling her clit.
As it continued, her breathing quickened, turning into gasps,
interspaced with short quiet moans. When I paused for a moment, she
squirmed, lifting herself, blindly trying to Ţnd my mouth. Smiling I
resumed, enjoying her eager response, the near frantic struggle. This
was a very different Aki than the one Mei had made love to. Aki Yamoto
was as willing as Aki had been, but unlike that empty passive accepting
shell, she was vibrant with her lust, delightful in her active
surrender. All too soon she started to groan deep in her throat and
stiffen in the Ţrst warning signals of approaching orgasm. I had an
idea and I didnąt want it spoiled by her coming too soon. When I
stopped she cried out, a wordless cry no one would have mistaken for
speech even without the sillken gag between her teeth.
Quickly I stripped, and laid down on top of the panting girl, gathering
her into my arms. My cock was hard already, from her outstanding erotic
performance, I pushed gently into her, making her arch her back,
ţattening her breasts against me. She heaved as I didnąt stop, she was
tiny and I wasnąt. Not all of my length was inside when I ran out of
Aki. I stroked a few times, feeling Aki tensing, anticipating what I
was about to do. She was on the edge of orgasm from my licking, I
wondered if her cervix would open for me or her vagina simply stretch.
I continued to fuck the Japanese girl, the image making me smile. łAki,
shh, relax. Iąm going to push all the way inside now, you are to relax
your entire body, thereąs nothing you can do to stop me. You are
forbidden to make a sound, you are forbidden to move, just accept me
and let yourself come. Now obey me.˛ I kissed her gagged mouth, licking
her teeth, kissing each lip seperately.
Aki tried, she really did. She relaxed, only to tense again and move as
I thrust, she couldnąt stay still, the sensations were too intense. I
didnąt push, not yet. If Aki couldnąt relax, at least she could
(almost) control the sounds she made. After a few minutes of gentle
fucking I paused. łRelax, little one. Donąt move, donąt tense yourself,
donąt make a sound. And come as soon as Iąm fully inside you.˛ I
wondered how in the world she was going to obey. Aki took several deep
breaths, then sighed and went limp. As soon as she did I thrust,
pushing gently but Ţrmly. A hissing exhale was the only sound she made.
I could feel her closing around me, clenching, and I could feel the
uncertain twitching as she fought to relax her cunt, and I could feel
her body tremble as she lost control but tried to stay relaxed as
ordered. And then I felt her yield, inside, followed by a sob as she
went limp again, and rasping noises as she tried not to moan, the
enforced silence making her impalement almost impossible to bear. And
then she came, her pussy the only thing she freely let move, her body a
battleground between will and instinct. She tried to be silent, but one
small gasp was followed by a short keening wail, that chilled my blood
even as it made me almost lose control.
It went on an incredibly long time, almost a minute, although I was
never sure afterward exactly when during that long orgasm I lost my own
battle and spewed into her clenching twisting body.
One minute I was laying quietly on top of the quivering helpless
oriental, the next her stroking pussy seemed to hit a switch, and
boiling cum burned itąs way down my unmoving cock, making me groan as
it exploded into Akiąs spasming insides. I couldnąt help myself, I
pulled out and thrust back in, making Aki forget she wasnąt supposed to
make any noise, she didnąt exactly scream but I donąt know what other
word to use. She began to struggle wildly, her orgasm continuing as I
managed several more eratic thrusts. We rolled over once or twice, and
just as I was coming to my senses we plunged into the pool.
The shock made me lunge upward, lifting the still impaled Aki on my
cock, my arms supporting most of her weight. The soaked kimono grabbed
my legs, sending me crashing down again, twisting awkwardly so I
wouldnąt crush her. Fortunately the moss absorbed most of the impact,
otherwise Iąd have certainly bruised something.
Rapidly losing my erection I pulled out of the girl, then untied the
knots as quickly as I could. She was making a strange noise, and I was
afraid sheąd gotten water down her throat. It was only after I ungagged
her I realized she was laughing.

Chapter 45 Commitment

I sat there streaming water while she laughed, helpless hysterical
laughter that wouldnąt stop. She was drenched, her hair was plastered
around her like black seaweed. It was contagious, soon we were hanging
onto each other for dear life, wheezing and chortling from the
ludicrous way Murphy had ended our passion.
łI sorry, master.˛ She Ţnally gasped, laughter only held at bay. łI so
sorry, but it funny.˛ And she was off again, falling back on the moss,
holding her sides, gasping for breath. łWell, we sure surprized the
Ţsh!˛ For some reason that seemed incredibly funny, I laughed until my
cheeks hurt. Aki just whooped for breath, every so often mouthing the
word Ţsh at me and going off into more gales of laughter. By the time
we had calmed down we were both exhausted. I sat with my back propped
against a smooth boulder, cradling her. Aki lay in my arms, her head
pillowed on my chest. łWe need to get back to the house.˛ I murmured
quietly, feeling like Iąd never move again. Aki just made small
protesting noises and rubbed her head against my chest. She sleepily
moved one leg over mine, liking the feel of shared warmth. Despite the
warmth of the night, it was just the slightest bit chilly. Fortunately
weąd both dried off fairly well using her kimono. I promised myself Iąd
see about replacing it, the water had almost certainly ruined the
beautiful robe, along with her obi.
łDoes this humble handmaiden please her master?˛ Aki asked softly,
totally relaxed. She was so conŢdent of the answer she didnąt even
twitch.
łCompletely.˛ I answered, feeling contentment swirl around me.
łTotally, utterly, and without reservation.˛ łYour handmaiden glad,
master-sama.˛ Aki said, running one hand idly over my belly. It felt
marvelous, I let one hand slide down her back, rubbing her slowly, back
and forth, not arousing, just cuddling.
łAny regrets?˛ I asked softly, still running my hand up and down her
back.
łNo, master-sama. I lucky to be handmaiden. No sadness, only joy.˛ She
kissed my stomach, gently, like the brush of a butterţyąs wings.
łWe really do need to get back.˛ I said again, not actually wanting to
move.
łSleep here?˛ She asked, snuggling closer. The way I felt I wanted to
agree with her.
łNo, Aki.˛ I said reluctantly. łI donąt want you scratching more
chigger bites than youąve already collected. Or Iąve collected.˛ I
grinned down at her puzzled look. łLittle mosquitos.˛ I explained.
łCome on, up and at Śem.˛ Sighing, she did as bid, wincing a bit from
the stiff muscles sheąd incurred from our lovemaking. I wasnąt stiff,
but then I hadnąt been folded in half, either. I grabbed my clothes and
started to get dressed. Aki looked forlornly at her sodden kimono.
łIt wet, master-sama.˛ She complained.
łI could make you walk back to the house naked.˛ I teased, watching her
for signs of dismay.
łI obey, master-sama.˛ She said, and shivered. łBut I cold.˛ I took
pity on her and gave her my tee-shirt. It came down almost to her
knees. She giggled at the way it bunched around her arms. She collected
her clothes and we walked back to the house. With the latern on one
side and Aki snuggled against my other the walk back wasnąt cool at
all, despite the gentle night breeze.
We stopped at the shed so I could put away the lantern. There were no
lights on in the house, it was dark and silent. łMaster-sama?˛ Aki said
timidly as we walked through the statuary garden to the back door.
łYes, Aki?˛ In the darkness I couldnąt see her expression. łWhat happen
now?˛
łWe go to bed. Donąt know about you, but Iąm exhausted. What time is
it?˛ I fumbled with the keys to the kitchen door. łNot know,
master-sama. I really sleepy.˛ Her voice sounded disappointed. I was so
tired I almost didnąt catch it. Finally getting the door open I ţipped
on the lights and checked my watch.
łThree oąclock? Gads, no wonder weąre tired. But there is one more
thing we need to attend to before we go to bed.˛ I turned and smiled at
her. łUnless youąre too tired? This is like midnight for you.˛
łWhat thing, master-sama?˛ She asked, in tones of guarded hope.
łWhy, your collar, Aki.˛ I said innocently. łYou know, the one that
literally canąt be removed, because it wonąt open?˛ łOh, yes,
master-sama!˛ She broke into a delighted smile. łPlease, this
handmaiden beg most humbly for her collar!˛ łCome along then.˛
I led her to the library, where the collars were locked in the
concealed safe. (I told you my house has a reverence for concealment!)
I stripped Aki, then put my shirt back on, liking the faint smell of
her that clung to it. I pulled out the box with her name on it, opening
the case to reveal the gleaming platinum chain.
I regarded it soberly. Aki waited patiently, kneeling with legs apart
as sheąd been told, watching me calmly. I took out the tool that sealed
the collar, the permanent link, and the instructions. It wouldnąt do to
seal the collar on backwards or something equally stupid!
łAki, are you sure this is what you want?˛ I asked, feeling my stomach
twist nervously. łThis is about as permanent as you can get. Like being
branded, or tattooed.˛
łI sure, master-sama.˛ Aki said Ţrmly. łThis handmaiden beg you. I
yours forever. Collar this humble one.˛ łYour choice, lady.˛ I said
somberly. I made her hold the collar in place as I put the link
together. Fitting the tool in place I paused. The grips were cold in my
hand. łSay when.˛ I commanded her. Her eyes were shining, there was a
smile on her face.
łNow.˛ She said. I squeezed the handles together. They didnąt move. I
blinked in surprize and quickly checked everything. Nothing was wrong,
so I tried again. They moved maybe half an inch. I threw my full
strength against them, willing them closed.
It hurt, the handles dug into my hands cruelly. But they Ţnally came
together, and the pressure suddenly eased as the link locked shut.
łDamn!˛ I exclaimed. łThatąs hard work!˛ Aki giggled, her eyes
twinkling. I pulled the handles apart and untangled the tool from Akiąs
necklace.
The necklace she would wear for the rest of her life, I thought
soberly. Anything that could remove the necklace stood a good chance of
hurting her in the process. Nothing less than this would have been
enough. She was literally my property now, a slave in the usual
deŢnition of the word. She had demanded total commitment from me, and I
had granted it.
I just hoped deep in my heart that Aki had chosen her owner wisely.
I took the oriental girl to bed and we fell into a contented, exhausted
sleep.

Chapter 46 RamiŢcations

I woke before Aki did, she was still suffering from jet lag. It was
10:30, which for her was only 7:30. After her somewhat eventful
deţoration I imagined she was too exhausted to be up and about.
Nature called, so I slipped out of bed, careful not to disturb her. On
the way back my reţection caught my attention. I paused, noting with
pleasure the gut Iąd had seven months before was gone, muscles
replacing fat. I peered closely at my face, looking for wrinkles. There
were a few. I grinned at my reţection, then stuck out my tongue.
I debated slipping back into bed, then decided I was hungrier than I
was sleepy.
I dressed quietly, then wrote a short note for Aki. Leaving it on the
pillow I slipped out the door, making sure it made no noise as I closed
it.
As I came down the stairs feeling good Mei appeared. She knelt, legs
apart, arms crossed behind her. Her action, not her nudity, stopped me
cold in my tracks.
łWhat is it Mei? Stand up, please.˛
łYou collared Aki last night, Master.˛ She obediently rose, her head
still bowed. Something in her voice caught my attention. łYes I did,
Mei. Whatąs wrong?˛
łYou sealed her collar!˛ She said in an accusing tone. łI found the
tool when I came in the library this morning.˛ She looked at me, and
there were tears in her eyes.
łOh.˛ I said.
łThat wasnąt fair, Master! You told me I would be Ţrst! You lied to
me!˛ Her voice trembled.
łJust like I picked you because you were Chinese?˛ I asked gently.
łCome with me, Dragon Lady.˛ I let my voice chill. łNow.˛ For a moment
I thought she would disobey, but then she followed me into the library.
I closed the door and locked it. Turning to the distraught girl I took
her by the shoulders and shook her, not gently. Her eyes widened in
shock. łNow listen, Mei Ling. I love you. And I trust you with my life.
But this is the second time youąve accused me without cause. Iąm going
to tell you why I sealed Akiąs collar. And then Iąm going to ask you if
you agree it was the right thing to do. If you say yes, Iąm going to
take you to the dungeon and bind you. Then Iąm going to assemble the
harem and have them watch as I cane you. Just like I did Alima. Do you
understand?˛ łI understand, Master.˛ She said in a small voice. łGo to
your room. I want you to think about this, Mei. Iąm going to go have
breakfast now. When I come to collect you Iąll tell you why I sealed
Akiąs collar.˛ I smacked her bottom hard, once. łNow git.˛
She ţed silently.
I wasnąt in a good mood when I stalked into the kitchen. Thuy had
thoughtfully put my breakfast in the oven to keep it warm for me, along
with Akiąs breakfast. No one was about. After Iąd eaten I felt better.
Sipping a second glass of orange juice I contemplated what Mei had
said, and the emotions that had made her say it. The Ţrst time sheąd
blown up on me it had been because she thought Iąd picked her just
because she was Chinese. This time it was because she thought Iąd lied
to her. Somehow the two things seemed connected.
The orange juice was long gone and still I pondered things. For the
Ţrst time I found myself staring down into the depths of Meiąs soul.
It was a long way down.
I didnąt want to punish her, but given the logic of the situation, and
the rules of the harem, I had to. At least as intensely as I had Alima,
if not with the same intensity Iąd used with Rachel. Doing otherwise
would be unfair, and probably cause more problems. I sighed, hating
what was about to come, but not knowing how to avoid it.
Getting up I made my way to Meiąs room. Opening the door I went in
without knocking.
Mei was kneeling, facing the door, back straight, arms crossed behind
her back. Since she couldnąt have heard me coming, she must have been
like that for a while.
łBefore we begin I want to know why my sealing Akiąs collar bothered
you. And get up. Go lay on the bed.˛ I said. Silently she obeyed.
łSpread your legs, Mei. You must never close them in my presence.˛
łYes, Master.˛ She said, opening her legs. Then she started to cry.
It was too much for me. I gathered her up into my arms. She put her
arms around me and held on tightly, sobbing. łShh, Mei, itąs ok. It
wonąt be that bad.˛ I soothed her. łIt-it isnąt-that, mas-Master.˛ She
choked out. łI-I failed you! Iąm so a-ashamed!˛
łHow did you fail me?˛ I stroked her back, feeling how tense she was.
łI tho-thought youąd lied to me.˛ Lifting her eyes to me she looked so
lost I felt my throat close. łI know you wouldnąt do that, mas-Master.˛
łAnd thatąs what made you lose control?˛ I asked gently, just holding
her.
łYes, Master.˛ She put her head against my chest. łIąm so very sorry.
It wonąt happen again.˛
łWhen you thought Iąd picked you just because you were Chinese you got
angry, Dragon Lady.˛ I stroked her hair. łWhy?˛ Mei tightened her arms
around me, but didnąt say anything. łWhy, Mei? Tell me.˛ I said in a
coaxing tone. łYou know I wonąt laugh at you.˛
łBecause I thought you didnąt want me, you just wanted a Chinese girl.
Any one would have done, I was just the one you picked.˛
łYou were the one I picked, Dragon Lady.˛ I said quietly. łAnd it seems
I really am the luckiest man in the world. Because I picked correctly.˛
łThank you, Master.˛ Mei said, kissing my chest. łAnd when you thought
Iąd lied to you, why did it make you so mad?˛
łBecause I tried so hard to get you to own me! Iąve tried everything,
for almost a month! And then you seal Akiąs the same night she gets
here.˛ I shifted positions so we were both laying on our sides, facing
each other.
łRacheląs mom told me something I think applies here. She said ŚI
believe what youąre telling me, but I know thereąs more.ą Is there
more, Mei?˛
łYes.˛ And the Chinese girl broke into fresh tears. It took a while,
but she Ţnally gained enough control to speak without sobbing.
łI was a disappointment to my family. They wanted a boy to be heir to
the fortune. My father, especially. He loves me but I was never quite
good enough in his eyes. I wasnąt male. And I was also a freak.˛ Her
voice turned bitter.
łA freak?˛ I asked, surprized. łWhy? You look like a normal girl to me.
And Iąve explored every nook and cranny of your perfect body. You
arenąt a freak.˛
łI am a freak.˛ She exploded. I whoofed suddenly as her grip tightened
convulsively. It felt like being hugged by a bear. Her grip eased
almost at once.
łYou see?˛ She asked, refusing to look at me. łI can lift almost twice
my own body weight over my head. Iąm stronger than almost any man
alive. Do you know what itąs like to be a freak in a Chinese family? Do
you?˛
łNo.˛ I said gently. łBut being heir should have made things easier,
shouldnąt it?˛
Mei laughed bitterly. łNo. Oh, no one said anything. It isnąt polite to
say anything like that. But they know. And you know they know. In
little ways. Absolute politeness, the servants would all bow to me and
my cousins were always unfailingly polite. But they never stayed around
me for any longer than politeness demanded. My parents too, never
seemed to spend more time than absolutely necessary. Even my brothers
and sisters always seemed to have other things to do. Xao Pingąs the
only one of the family that ever showed me genuine kindness. But she
never dared openly associate with me either. It isnąt done.˛ łFreaks
arenąt spoken of, arenąt acknowledged. I was heir, there was a terrible
strain. So they preteneded I was normal.˛ łBut everyone, including me
knew I wasnąt. When I was six years old I swore I would be perfect, in
everything I did. Thatąs why Iąm third-dan in Aikido, Master, even
though Iąm only 19. There have been younger masters, of higher dan. But
not many. And not for a long time.˛
łI kept my promise to myself. Top student. Top athlete. Top Aikido
Master for my age. And you know what?˛ She looked at me, resignation in
her face.
łIt didnąt do any good. Nothing changed. Nothing will ever change. So I
opted out. When I was 17 I just stopped trying to please them. What I
did I did for me, not them.˛ łSo here you have to be the perfect
slave.˛ I said softly. Mei froze, a look of stunned comprehension on
her face. łNo!˛ It was a strangled scream. łI love you, Master! With
all my heart and all my soul. I want to belong to you because I want to
belong to you. Iąm not playing a game, Iąm not trying to prove
anything.˛
łThe perfect love.˛ I said softly, holding her, sympathy in my voice.
łI wondered about how quickly you fell in love with me, Mei Ling.˛
łI love you, Master!˛ She said, tense as a bowstring. łI love you.
Please donąt send me away!˛
łI love you, Dragon Lady.˛ I gathered her to me for a long, tender hug.
łNothingąs changed. I accept you for what you are, not what you thought
I wanted.˛
łOh, Master.˛ She hugged me, careful not to use her full strength. We
laid there for a long time, not speaking. łYou know,˛ I said Ţnally,
chuckling. łItąs a good thing you like bondage. If you ever got carried
away and werenąt tied down you could really do some damage.˛ She looked
into my face for a while, before smiling a tiny smile.
łNow itąs time to talk about Aki, collars, and canings.˛ I said,
turning serious.
łI donąt need to know, Master.˛ She said, watching me. łI donąt want to
know. Youąve told me it was important. Thatąs enough.˛ łNo, it isnąt
enough.˛ I said. łI canąt tell you why Aki had to be collared, Mei. All
I can say is her honor demanded it. But youąre right.˛ I took a deep
breath.
łAfter you are caned, Iąm going to seal your collar.˛ Mei froze, the
look on her face twisting something inside me. Longing, for just an
instant, followed by a guarded look. łYou mean it, Master?˛ She
breathed. łPlease, say you mean it!˛ łI mean it, Dragon Lady.˛ I
watched her, solemn. Something had changed between us. I didnąt know
for good or ill, but something was different. The game was ending, and
reality beginning. It had started last night, when I opened the safe.
And where it would end I had no idea.
Gently disengaging I slid off the bed and held my hand out to her.
łItąs time, Mei Ling. Do you do this willingly?˛ łYes, Master.˛ She
whispered. Suddenly she was no longer the bold mischevious lady Iąd
come to love. Now she was shy, uncertain. Even afraid. She took my hand
and slipped out of bed, standing before me with bowed head.
łLook at me.˛ I said Ţrmly. Biting her lip she obeyed. łListen to me.
This ends your freedom. Allow yourself to be bound and you will be
bound for all time. Do you understand? łYes, Master.˛ Leaning down I
kissed her, gently, lips to lips. She stood awkwardly, as though unsure
how. Her eyes glittered with suppressed tears, tears she refused to
cry. I led her by the hand, out into the hall and down the stairs.
Melinda, naked save for her nipple rings, met us as we came downstairs.
łHello, Master.˛ She said, smiling. Her eyes shifted to Mei and her
smile faded. She didnąt say anything, just stood aside as we went past
her.
łMelinda, would you assemble the harem in the living room please?˛ I
asked. She nodded as I led the Chinese girl by the hand to the dungeon
door. Mei shivered as the lock racheted open. On this quiet Saturday
morning there was nothing to mask the sound, it almost echoed.
Taking her by the hand again I led her down the steps. The lights came
on with a ţare, illuminating the dungeon starkly, especially the frame
I was going to bind Mei in. When we reached the frame, Mei shivered
once. This was the same frame that Alima had been bound in when she was
caned. I remembered how much just seeing it had frightened Mei. łI
wonąt cane you as severely as I did Alima.˛ I promised the Chinese girl
as I put one wrist in the manacle, locking it Ţrmly around her wrist. I
made sure the manacle wasnąt cutting off circulation.
łThank you, Master.˛ Mei whispered. I paused, holding her wrist.
łYouąre really frightened, arenąt you?˛
łYes, Master.˛ She bit her lip as the manacle closed around her other
wrist, imobilizing her.
łSpread your legs.˛ I commanded. She did so, but started when I touched
her. I had to adjust the leg chains, Mei shivered again at the metallic
chiming.
Spread-eagled now, she watched me, only a frightened young girl, no
longer the sophisticated lady I knew so well. łItąs going to hurt badly
isnąt it, Master?˛ She said, more for something to say than because she
really wanted to know. łYes, Mei. Very badly. This is a punishment, and
one youąve earned.˛
łI know, Master. I wonąt resist.˛
łI know you wonąt. But there will come a point you will. Because it
will hurt. Thatąs why youąre here, Dragon Lady. Held by chains, because
youąll want to escape. Desperately. But youąve cast your lot now. Never
again will you be free. Think about that while I go get the harem.˛
łYes, Master.˛ She whispered, watching me as I left. The harem wasnąt
complete when I reached the living room, Teresa, Melinda, Aki, Gina and
Thuy were missing. I heard Gina come in behind me, I took a seat and
waited for the others. Thuy came in a couple of minutes later.
No one spoke as we waited for Melinda and Aki. The two girls Ţnally
showed up, Ţve minutes later than the rest. Aki came and prostrated
herself at my feet.
łThis humble slave sorry late, Master-sama.˛ łShe was asleep.˛ Melinda
said apologeticly. I nodded to the Fillipino girl and lifted Aki to her
knees. łItąs ok, Aki. I would have let you sleep, but something
important has come up.˛
No one asked, I think they were afraid to. I looked around, seeing not
a single smile, their faces ranging from Akiąs impassiveness to Alimaąs
uneasiness to Racheląs frank concern. łMei has earned a punishment.
Part of her punishment is to have the rest of you watch her being
caned. Iąm having the rest of you watch for several reasons. First, I
want to show you that Iąm fair. As head of the harem, Mei Ling has a
great deal of authority, and some of you might think I give her special
treatment because of that, or that I play favorites.˛ I met each girląs
eyes in turn. My voice, low though it was, was quite loud in the silent
room.
łLadies, I do not play favorites!˛ I stared intently around the room.
łIąve made each of your wildest fantasies come true but Iąve also hurt
each of you at one time or another.˛ łAlima, youąve felt the cane as
punishment, do you think it hurts?˛
łIt hurts.˛ Alima said, hanging head. łGod, does it hurt!˛ She bit her
lip. łBut I like it in a way. I donąt think Mei will.˛ łI donąt think
she will either.˛ I said. łWhich is my whole point. Sheąs done
something wrong and now Iąm punishing her for it. Just as I would the
rest of you. Bear that in mind if you ever believe Iąm treating you
unfairly. Now come along.˛ Silently the girls followed me to the
dungeon. Mei looked up at me, tears running down her cheeks, her arms
and legs held apart in cold unyielding steel. Her bare feet were on the
cold concrete ţoor, her Ţngers wrapped around the chain holding her
wrist manacles.
Without saying anything the girls grouped themselves in a loose ring
around Mei. She ignored them, her eyes following me as I went to the
wall and took down a birch rod. She shivered as I went behind her, I
could see how tense she was, how her ass clenched in anticipation.
łMei, you understand that youąve earned this punishment?˛ I asked
quietly.
łYes, Master.˛ She said, staring straight ahead, knuckles white where
she gripped the chain.
I gave her no warning, the Ţrst blow caught her just beneath the
buttocks, at the tops of both thighs. She didnąt react for a second
then leaped, the taut chains catching her before she moved more than a
foot. The second blow came on the heels of the Ţrst, across the middle
of her ass, making her gasp. The third stroke was between the Ţrst two,
and this time she yelped. I stopped, and watched as Mei sagged a bit.
The blows had been hard enough I could see welts already starting to
form. But I hadnąt broken the skin, and as soon as Mei straightened up
I struck another three blows.
This time she screamed, loud and piercing. One of the strokes had
crossed her top welt, drawing a bit of blood. I established a pattern,
striking three times and pausing till Mei stopped moaning. Each set of
three elicited a moan, scream, or plea to stop. After Ţve sets, from
upper thigh to upper back, avoiding her kidneys, I moved around in
front of her. She was panting now, gasping for breath. Her eyes were
wild, and she was really afraid. I struck her breasts three times,
catching a nipple on one stroke. She screamed again, begging me in a
broken string of English and Chinese to stop. I paused until she was
calm enough to stop begging, then struck three times on the inside of
her left thigh. She shrieked, twisting and writhing, trying to evade me
but not able because her chains held her almost tautly spread-eagled.
Some of her welts were bleeding a little, either where I had struck too
hard or two welts crossed. I spent a little time examining her.
SatisŢed I hadnąt injured her, I struck her right inner thigh. She wept
and screamed but didnąt sag, so I immediately slapped the cane across
her Ţrm smooth belly. She cried out, screaming as another three (much
lighter) blows struck home on her pussy. I made sure they stung, but
didnąt mark. Then I went to the wall and got a tube of KY jelly. My
eyes fell on Gina.
łGina, make me hard.˛ I commanded harshly. Gina blinked, surprized.
łNow.˛ I barked. The black girl hurried forward. She helped me undress,
then sank to her knees. Taking my cock in her hands, she gently stroked
and kissed. As she did I watched the sobbing Chinese girl, who was
watching us. When I was hard enough Gina took me in her mouth, trying
to deep throat me. I responded to her, even though she couldnąt manage
it. And all the time I watched Mei, who watched us. When I was fully
hard, I gently pulled out of Ginaąs mouth, stroking her hair a moment
to thank her. Then I advanced on the spread-eagled girl, taking in her
beauty, her curvaciousness, the welts that marred her perfect skin.
Reaching between her legs I felt her, to Ţnd her dry. The punishment
hadnąt aroused her.
I coated my cock with KY and pushed against her pussy. Even though she
was dry, her labia were small, and posed no barrier to my thrust.
Mei arched in shock, inadvertantly impaling herself, grunting with
pained surprize. I began fucking her, raping her, hard savage strokes.
Meiąs eyes were wide, I could feel the heat of her, the coolness of the
KY instantly warmed by her pussyąs heat, not arousal, just plain
exertion from her caning. But as the rape continued, Mei did become
aroused, her pussy softening, warming and turning even more slippery.
She cried out, a long low moan as her orgasm took her, a totally
unexpected outcome in this rough and merciless ravaging.
łTeresa!˛ I barked. łBring a butt plug here, now. Coat it with KY and
shove it up Mei Lingąs ass!˛
Apprehensive, Teresa brought the plug, and Sherry helped her coat it
with the KY lubricant.
I stopped, making Mei groan in frustration. She ground her hips against
me, wanting me to continue. I pulled her ass cheeks apart, and watched
her eyes ţy open as Teresa roughly shoved the Ţve inch long rubber cone
into her asshole. łOh, Jesus!˛ Mei groaned, shutting her eyes tightly
against the pain of the sudden intrusion. I started fucking her again,
slamming into her, beginning to breath hard. I tried holding out, but
the rocking and jerking of the bound girl had me too close. łPush the
plug in and out!˛ I gasped to Teresa. She looked at me, just shaking
her head.
łDo it!˛ I gasped. łNow.˛ Mei shrieked and started struggling in
earnest as Teresa pulled out the the plug and forced Mei open in a new
kind of fucking. I could feel my balls brushing Teresaąs hands. That
did it, I lost control and felt my sperm shoot into Mei, who tried to
come herself, but couldnąt. She wept in frustration as Teresa kept
pushing the plug in and out and I pulled out of her.
I grabbed Sherry and made her kneel. She knew what I wanted without my
asking, and took my rapidly deţating cock into her mouth, cleaning it
with expert speed and thoroughness. When she was done she looked up at
me and winked, running her tongue around her lips. I grinned down at
her, and swung around to face Aki.
łBring me the collar tool. Youąll Ţnd it in the library. Thuy, go with
her.˛
łYes, Master-sama.˛ Aki bowed and ran off. Mei was gasping and crying
out in her chains as Teresa continued to push the plug in and out.
łTeresa, stop. Leave the plug inserted.˛
łYes, Master.˛ She gulped, shoving the black rubber cone home a Ţnal
time.
Mei Ling sagged in her chains, gasping for breath. Her skin was lightly
coated with perspiration. I was soaked, and starting to feel chilly. I
sent Tara for a pair of towels. łThank you, Master.˛ Mei gasped, still
caught in the grip of her afterglow. łIąll be the best slave girl
youąve ever had, I promise.˛ She hung her head, concentrating on
catching her breath. I watched her breath, seeing the deep racking
breaths shake her spread-eagled body hard.
I hugged the panting oriental girl, smelling her sweat, feeling her
ţinch as my body pressed against her welts. But she turned her head,
and I felt her lips kiss my neck several times. łI love you, Mei Ling˛
I whispered into her hair. She rubbed her face against my neck, the
only way she could caress me. łTeresa, come here.˛ I said, speaking as
warmly and gently as I could, as though to a frightened animal. She
looked scared, and not a bit guilty. But she moved toward us,
approaching from behind Meiąs back.
łIąm very pleased with you.˛ I said motioning her closer. I didnąt let
her stop till she was standing against Mei, who sighed softly. Then I
pulled Teresa Ţrmly against Mei, hugging them both.
łYou obeyed me, even tho it frightened you. I imagine it pushed all
kinds of buttons didnąt it?˛
łNot really.˛ Teresa said, standing stifţy in my embrace. I think being
pressed against Mei embarassed her. łReally?˛ I coaxed. łMei, what do
you think?˛ łIt could have.˛ Mei answered. łMaster, my arms are
beginning to hurt. Could you unchain me, please?˛
łNo, not just yet.˛ I said. I released the two girls. łTeresa, come
here. I want the rest of you ladies to massage Mei, sheąs going to be
like this until her collar is sealed.˛ Just then Tara came back with
the towels. I took one and handed it to Teresa, and told Tara to help
dry and massage Mei. Teresa took the towel and wiped me dry willingly
enough, not even ţinching as she gently patted my cock dry. I watched
as Mei was tended, Aki and Thuy came back before Mei and I were dried
off, I took the tool from Aki, feeling the weight of it. It probably
weighed Ţve pounds, but right then it felt like Ţfty.
When she was dry, and her stance said she was comfortable, I took the
permanent link from Aki and stood in front of Mei. She smiled at me,
hope growing in her eyes.
łAre you absolutely positive this is what you want, Dragon Lady?˛ I
asked somberly. łOnce done, this is as close to irreversible as it
gets.˛
łIąm sure, Master.˛ Mei said smiling. łIąve never wanted anything so
badly in my life. Please.˛
łAki, come here.˛ I said. The Japanese girl hurried forward. łUndo the
Ţtting link and place the permanent one.˛ I said. With surprizing grace
and gentleness the tiny oriental girl switched the links, then stepped
back.
łDone, Master-sama.˛ She said, bowing quickly, almost bobbing. łAre you
positive, Mei Ling?˛ I asked, lifting the tool and placing the link in
itąs jaws.
łYes.˛ She said Ţrmly, holding her head up proudly, eyes sparkling.
Knowing what to expect, I applied my full strength to the handles. They
closed with agonizing slowness, making me grimace with the effort.
There was a click and the pressure eased abruptly. I took a half-step,
choking Mei a little as the tool shifted. I quickly disentangled it.
łIąm sorry, Are you ok?˛
łIąm wonderful, Master.˛ Mei smiled at me. At that moment she was the
most resplendent creature I had ever seen, or could imagine seeing.
Reaching out I cupped her cheek with one hand, feeling a tremendous
rush of power, joy, and exaltation so intermingled I couldnąt separate
the sensations. łRelease her.˛ I said, smiling. The harem swarmed about
us, hands eagerly removing Meiąs bonds, supporting and embracing in the
same act.
łGina, Sherry, thank you for bringing this about.˛ I said, smiling.
łAnd the rest of you, this is a day for celebration. Today a second
collar has been sealed, and tonight you gain another harem sister.
Letąs forget sadness today, letąs get ready to have a party tonight,
for Aki, Mei, and Heather combined! Laughter met my announcement. The
somber mood was broken and the girls were chatting merrily as we all
trouped upstairs to get ready for the party.
