It took a while for Kay to pull herself together and do as she had been told. Some rebellious part of her wanted to disobey and give herself the release He had refused her. But, she felt that somehow He would know if she did, so instead she cut the ropes and went to take the long hot bath He had suggested. Her mind roiled with conflicting thoughts and emotions. She questioned her own motives behind doing the things He told her to. So far she had not refused to do anything He had ordered. Was her submissiveness to Him weakness or strength? She pondered this while the sea of bubbles popped around her chin, her eyes dark and distant.

Her fingers lightly touched the chaffed skin left by the tug of the ropes. Just the thought of how they came to be sent a shiver of pleasure through her body. Her soft moan startled her out of her reverie. She rose from the now cool water and wrapped herself in a large fluffy towel.

She took great care to put her makeup on just so and slipped her silk kimono on. She had just finished fixing herself a salad for an early dinner when the doorbell rang and a deliveryman stood there with a package for her to sign for. She looked to see whom it had come from, but saw nothing to indicate the answer. Her eyes questioned the deliveryman, who answered with a shrug of indifference. With a nod she thanked him and shut the door. She already knew who it was from, fingers trembling she tore open the brown paper and stared at the camera set for her computer. Written across it were the instructions... " Have this in place by the time you come on line tonight. There are four cameras I want them all trained on you." It went on to specify the views each was to have and a list of items that she was to have on hand. She sat down on the bench by the door and stared at the box for a long time before she got up to follow His instructions.

Inside her head world war three was going on. Fear screamed, good sense orated long and hard, but in the end they were all voted into silence by reckless abandon and lust. She didn't know what He was up to...she didn't know how He knew so much about her...but she knew that if she hung in there long enough it would be made clear.

At the appointed time she was sitting in front of the computer with cameras operational, the items that she had been told to gather were with in reach. Her eyes slid across the bowl of ice, the rope, the clothespins, the rope and flogger. Her gaze paused on the two cock shaped vibrators, they were the largest she had as per the instructions. A shiver raced up her spine from the center of her womb. She drew a long deep breath and signed into chat.

Her Master's voice spoke softly but clearly to her. " Come here little one." The crowd of faces turned toward the voice and parted making a path between them for her. She rose to her feet and crossed the room cautiously under the quiet watchful eye of the strange crowd.

She was dumbstruck by the variety of costumes and demonstrations of Dominance. Slaves and submissive wore harnesses collars and leashes...with various parts of their bodies in the tight grip of clamps or filled with toys. The Dominants in the room ran the gamut from elegant to brutal. She was careful not to make direct eye contact with any of them. She lowered herself to her knees at Master Phoenix's feet with a sigh of relief.

" You look lovely tonight pet." He smiled down at her and patted His knee..." Come sit on my lap it is crowded here tonight."

She quickly slid onto His lap and felt His strong arms close around her. She breathed deep inhaling the soft spicy scent of His cologne.

He smiled at her and placed a kiss on her forehead. " There will be a slight delay in my plans for you tonight pet. Another Master has asked for time to ... umm... demonstrate something." He spoke quietly in her ear. She nodded and peered around the room

The room darkened and the crowd fell silent...all heads turned to a door off to one side of the room. A slow deep cadence of kettledrums began as a dark haired Master dressed in black leather pants with matching silver studded vest and gloves stepped out into the guttering light of the torches. In one hand he carried a cat o' nine with the most vicious looking lashes she had ever seen. They were tipped with silver claws that she tried not to imagine shredding a helpless submissive's skin. Wrapped around the other hand was a leather leash...attached to the collar of a beautiful, blue-eyed, honey blonde woman, who was naked except for the collar and the cuffs that held her hands pinned securely against her waist.

Kay studied the woman as she followed the Master into the room. While her posture and demeanor were humble and obedient...the haughty glare in her eyes spoke differently.

When they reached the center of the room the Master stopped and jerked the leash sending the woman to her knees beside His boots.

He stood there looking around with dark defiant eyes.

The room was totally silent...everyone waited the tension growing thicker with each passing second.

" You all know me here. For those of you who don't I am Master Seth." He spoke loudly his voice ringing off the walls, " I have always treated my slaves fairly. If a slave wished to be free I have granted it without malice. Are these things not true?"

A chorus of " Ayes" answered His query.

"This slave has broken my one cardinal rule. She went behind my back to be with another man. Had she asked I would have given her permission but she tried to hide it from me instead."

Kay studied the woman kneeling with her head held up so proudly and detected a tremor of fear. The Master continued..." I have given long hard consideration to what punishment she deserves. My first instinct is to release her. But, she has begged me to reconsider and has asked for punishment."

He paused and looked down at the slave at His feet. Using the leash to pull her chin up and back so that she was looking up at Him. He let her see the full extent of the pain she had caused Him.

" Since she wishes to behave like the lowest of cheating sluts..." He looked up and nodded across the room to a giant hulk of a man who stepped forward carrying a short table with stocks mounted on it. "Then she shall be used like one, after she has felt the bite of my cat." His steady gaze never left her face and even Kay could see the shock registered there. The woman, paled, opened her mouth to protest but a quick jerk of the leash shut her up instantly.

" Stand up" Master Seth ordered. She struggled awkwardly with her hands pinned to her waist as they were. The Master nodded to the hulk, who grasped her upper arms and lifted her to her feet as if she were a newborn kitten. Her heavy breasts jiggled furiously when he set her on her feet a little too forcefully. She glared at the Hulk over her shoulder and earned a sharp slap to her cheek from Master Seth.

The Hulks huge paws squeezed tighter around her upper arms while Master Seth freed her hands from the restraints.

The instant her hands were free she began to struggle...trying to kick free but, the hulk was too strong.

The crowd shifted closer as the hulk and the Master set her head and hands in the heavy wooden stocks. Ominous mutters began amongst the watchers. One little male submissive scampered forward to lick her face when the stocks had her sufficiently subdued. He cackled madly and ran back across the room pouncing some hapless victim and clinging like a monkey. The blonde glared daggers at the little man. Behind her the Hulk forced her legs wide apart and strapped them into place.

"You may all have a turn in using this slut." Master Seth told the room. Then He knelt down in front of the woman so that they were eye to eye. " But, you my pet will not enjoy it so much." He stroked the leather handle of the cat against her cheek. " You will get five lashes with this whip and then the room will use you until you are nothing but a cum soaked little cunt. You, my pet will not cum. If I see any evidence that you have...it will be another stroke. You know what this whip does� so don't earn more. " He placed a kiss on her forehead and stepped back shaking the lashes loose on the cat.

Kay turned and looked at her Master. He watched stoically...the only betrayal of His emotions was the twitching muscle in His jaw. His eyes met hers and He smiled then pulled her ear to His lips and whispered. " Just so you know I do not approve of what Seth is about to do but, I also know that submissive and she is eating this up. Just look at how wet her pussy already is."

Kay looked and nodded... the woman's thighs were shining with her own oils.

" You are beautiful tonight my pet." He nodded His head toward the center of the room. " Watch them now." His grip on her waist tightened one hand found purchase on the inside of her thigh.

She looked down at His hand and then back to the exhibition in the center of the room. Shifting deeper into His arms she watched Master Seth take a stance a little to one side of the woman.

He extended the tails of the cat over her back and lightly drug them up and down her back. The silver talons left pale scratches wherever they made contact with her skin.

" Don't worry cunt." Master Seth crooned to her. " You shouldn't have too hard a time not cumming until I allow it." His wrist flipped sending the lashes snaking under her to bite her ribs... with an upward yank of the handle the talons sliced her skin from rib to nipple across both breasts.

She didn't make a sound...but her entire body shuddered. She hissed, " Thank you Master."

" You're welcome cunt." He told her calmly as He drug the talons down her back to the round of her ass. The next flash of the lashes drove the talons into the flesh of her thigh and streaked her entire hip with small red slashes as He yanked the cat upward.

The blonde cried out and Kay shook... Master Phoenix�s hand slid farther up her thigh to the damp vee of her legs.

Master Seth's wrist flicked and the lashes made their mark up the back of the opposite leg. The sound the woman made was choked off as the Hulk stepped up and pushed down on her back bowing it until her ass was high in the air, her stomach pressed against her thighs. He placed his knee in the middle of her back and used his massive paws to spread her ass cheeks even farther apart. The whip whistled through the air twice in a criss-cross pattern, raking the talons across the exposed and tender flesh. The sound the woman made, the roar of a wounded lioness, sent Kay cowering back into the depths of Master Phoenix's arms.

" Open your robe pet." He whispered to her. " Show me those hard nipples." Her hurried glance down confirmed His words�her nipples were hard as rocks. Kay tugged her robe open and slid down off her shoulders. "Yes. You are beautiful pet." The knuckle of His thumb rolled against her clit. He put His lips against her ear and whispered, " My hands are your hands and your hands are Mine. Do you understand pet?" Her brow creased as she listened to His words not sure if she understood His meaning. " Get you hand between your legs slut." His voice thundered in her head. Her hand dropped to become His so swiftly that her nail scraped the head of her clit she gave a sharp short yelp. He looked at her, eyes questioning, she quickly whispered back the explanation and a little smile lifted the corners of his mouth. His fingertip began to flutter against the stinging scratch causing her to hiss and shudder.

" Now you will feel your service to these good people on a much deeper level." Master Seth growled at the woman in the stocks and gave her cheek a light slap. He turned on his heel, walked to one of the nearby throne like chairs and slouched into the seat to glower at the woman in the stocks. The denizens of the room began to close in on her. Their eyes glowing with feral lights...they ran their hands over the woman's body, their teeth and tongues explored the fine lines of white and blood red on her skin. Some left bite marks in their eagerness. No part of her body was sacred to them...she disappeared under the mass of writhing bodies and only her outraged cries could be heard. The cries turned to pleas for mercy.

Kay shuddered as she watched and pushed deeper into her Master's arms. But, instead of cuddling her close He gently pushed her from His lap to the floor at His feet. He signaled to another girl who was kneeling nearby, she picked up a basket and scooted over to kneel behind Kay. Kay looked over her shoulder then cast a questioning look up at the Master who smiled enigmatically.

The girl behind her opened the basket, pulled a hairbrush from it and gently began to brush and weave Kay�s long hair into three braids. Kay relaxed under the soothing strokes of the brush but shifted uneasily when the girl wove two round heavy metal rings into each braid making them tug at her scalp.

Kay tried not to listen to the grunts and cries of the animals that attacked the woman in the stocks. She kept her eyes averted from the seething, writhing torsos in the center of the room. The pitiful cries from the woman wrenched at her heart. Master Seth, remained slouched in His chair, stone faced and unmoving.

Slowly the ones around the woman began to fall away sated for the moment. The woman was limp with exhaustion, cum tinged pink with blood from the scratches and bites dripped off of her body. The beautiful hair tangled and hanging down over her face dripped cum to the platform below.

Kay, alarmed at the sight, looked up to Master Phoenix, her eyes pleaded with Him to do something. Master Phoenix gazed back at her and smiled gently, before turning to focus on Master Seth.

" Master Seth." He spoke calmly, Master Seth looked at Him over the rise of the knuckles that supported his cheek. " Your sub has served her punishment. Take her back to your heart or release her it is no concern of Mine but I will not gaze upon her longer."

Master Seth bristled and rose menacingly from his seat glaring daggers at Master Phoenix who gazed calmly back.

The room froze, all eyes turned to the two men. Kay could feel their eagerness for an engagement between the two Masters, and her own defenses rose, she watched them warily, ready to jump to her Master�s defense and finding herself a bit surprised by that.

The two men exchanged silent stony stares. Suddenly, Master Seth whirled on his heel and strode to the woman in the stocks. He freed her, tossed her over his shoulder and walked toward the door. At the doorway he stopped, slid her off his shoulder and turned her to face the room, holding her wobbling frame erect with claw-like fingers digging into the flesh of her arms. He shook her like a rag doll, "Say thank you to the nice people cunt." He growled.

The woman attempted to focus� her whisper was barely heard in the dead silence of the room. " Thank you." Her dry tongue tried to moisten swollen lips.

Master Seth bent his knees one slid between her thighs while his right hand slapped down against her pussy and hooked the talon like fingers into her. " Are you listening to me slut?" His left hand gripped her hair jerking her head up to speak against her ear.

Her head nodded weakly, " Yes Master." she whispered.

" You broke my cardinal rule. I think it is only fair to break one of yours. You remember don't you slut...the one about fisting your ass." The woman's eyes flew open with alarm�wild eyed she struggled to free herself from his grip as she was whisked from the room in the madman's arms.

Kay shuddered when the door slammed shut behind them cutting off the woman's cries of protest.

Slowly the room began to come back to life, its occupants looked around dazedly. Kay smiled up at Master Phoenix and whispered " Thank You." His smile reassured her that all was well as He signaled her back to His lap�she gratefully climbed back into the circle of His comforting arms.
