Master SF entered the room with a hearty greeting to everyone.

" Ahh. There you are Master Phoenix� I see you have brought your lovely and flexible pet with you. That is grand just grand."

" Good Evening SF� its good to see you. Yes, she is here and prepared to serve as your model. " Master Phoenix answered before kissing Kay�s forehead and whispering to her.

" You will do everything that SF tells you to. My hands are your hands and in this case SF�s hands are Mine. Understood?"

Her eyes widened but she nodded and whispered back, " Yes Master."

SF strode to the center of the room greeting people as He went. At the center of the room He spun on His heel and waited for the room to settle down and attention to focus on Him. " For those of you who don�t know me I am Master SF. I have practiced the art of rope bondage for twenty years. Tonight I�ve come to give you a demonstration of this art, because it is indeed an art when properly done, and appraise you of some of my own innovations. Master Phoenix has graciously offered to loan me His very lovely and flexible pet for this demonstration." He gestured to Kay to come to Him.

She glanced at Master Phoenix who pulled her head toward Him and placed a kiss on her brow. " Go pet." He told her and gave her a little push off His lap. His hand slid down her arm to clasp her fingertips holding her until she looked down at their entwined hands. Her eyes rose to gaze into His, she nodded. His fingers released hers and she lifted her chin as she walked to where Master SF stood. She started to kneel at SF�s feet but His hand on her arm stopped her. " Stand here Darlin� " He spoke kindly and she smiled up at Him, murmuring, " Yes Sir." She stood trying not to fidget while He went on with His lecture.

" The art of rope torture has been practiced for many years in erotic and non erotic forms. I would never torture a slave rather my goal is to bring her state of mind into that place where she is free and at peace." He chuckled and added. " And when done right will keep a smile on her face for several days."

His audience chuckled too. "Over the years I have added a few twists of my own, if you will pardon the pun, my slaves have participated in the alterations to my methods, assuring me that they are most effective."

He looked down at Kay and quietly told her to disrobe. Her eyes flickered to Master Phoenix and darted around the room. " Yes Sir" she mumbled. Shaking hands loosened the belt of the robe and she let it slide from her shoulders. She felt all the eyes in the room on her and heard the collective mutterings. It was a struggle not to try and cover herself�she fidgeted and looked to Master Phoenix�locking eyes with Him. It didn�t surprise her to hear His voice in her head telling her to stand tall and proud for Him. He nodded and her modesty attack eased. She turned her attention back to Master SF who had laid a hand on her shoulder.

She looked up at His round jovial face, the twinkling green eyes reassured her. " Step up onto the platform so everyone can see you and I don�t have to bend down." He chuckled. " I�m an old Dom with creaking joints."

She stepped up onto the three-foot high platform, eyes flashing nervously over the crowd of people who had shifted closer to the center of the room. She immediately recalled the woman in the stocks and how they had approached her. She saw the same animal gleam in their eyes. One man with multiple piercing on his body stuck his studded tongue out at her and wiggled it lewdly, his hand stroking the head of his pierced cock. Her head swiveled to look for Master Phoenix, while turning as SF directed and standing, legs apart, hands at her side she watched as SF picked up a rope harness and held it up to show everyone.

" As you can see this is much like a normal Sukaranbo harness but I have made a couple of modifications to the way the knots operate." He flipped the harness open. " First of all I have used braided leather. It has two distinct advantages over most ropes. First of all it is more sensual against the skin. Second, it doesn�t stretch in fact if you get it wet and leave it in place it will shrink."

He chuckled and continued, " I have made a series of sliding knots which can be placed over the clit and the anal opening� but as you can see I have made the anal one a good deal longer and larger than a regular knot would be. This serves as stimulus and as an anchor of sorts. Farther forward are a series of smaller knots�as you can see they bring both sides of the rope together. This front knot has a metal band through it that will close nicely over the clit and the two in the center can be slid apart for easy access or act to hold a toy in place."

He turned and looked up at Kay with a twinkling grin and pulled a dildo out of His pocket�" Like this one for instance." Sitting it on the platform next to her feet, He held the harness out for her to step into which she did. He raised it to the tops of her thighs then bid her turn around and lean forward from the waist.

She cast a quick glance at Master Phoenix and did as she was told when she saw His nod. Bending forward she blushed a burning red when the crowd shifted to see what SF was doing. Kay felt like a piece of meat more than a display model but she bit her lip and steadied herself for what was coming. She felt the leather harness sliding up over her hips and SF rubbing the largest knot in the folds of her pussy to moisten it. He continued talking as He slid it to the opening of her anus and began to work it in.

" This knot is removable and for health reasons should be replaced with a new one for each use."

It took all her strength not to whimper or cry out as the finger sized knot slowly opened her and squirmed deeper until the leather rope was pressed close to the cheeks of her ass. She couldn�t disguise the shudder that coursed through her.

" Ok darling, I need you to lay down on your side for a moment." SF spoke quietly to her. She lay down with him guiding the rope to keep it riding on her pelvis bone. " Now�lift this upper leg up high please." His hand guided her leg up until it was at a vertical angle to her body, and she groaned quietly as the knot that pierced her anus shifted. He gave her a nod of satisfaction and continued to speak to the watchers.

" Now," He chuckled, " Something that I like to do and the submissive who experiences this seems to like very much, it to put just a couple of drops of peppermint oil on the clamping knot."

A small squeeze bottle appeared in His hand. He applied a couple of drops to the rope and the bottle disappeared. His eyes moved up to hers for a moment and the sharp scent of mint bit at her sinuses. With gentle fingers He stroked her clit, bringing it up to alertness and pushed the clamping bit of leather closed around it. Her eyes went wide when the mint oil caused her clit to tingle coolly then become very cold feeling.

SF had been watching her and chuckled, " Very refreshing is it not dear?"

She swallowed hard, nodded, then remembered herself and answered aloud. " Yes Sir. Very cooling."

" Good�good�good. Now, we shall toss a toy into the mix and see what happens shall we?" So saying He picked up the dildo and spread the knots apart that would hold it in place and began to work it into the wet sheath of her pussy.

She tried to suppress the moan that rose with each advance of the plastic cock, but it purred from her lips anyway. When He had managed to work it all inside of her tight vaginal opening He slipped the knots back over the end pinning it in place.

" Alright darling Let�s be having you kneel now." He released her leg and assisted her to a kneeling position. She shivered, the dildo and knot were shifting against each other with each movement and the icing effect of the mint oil was spreading on her own moisture. He tugged the harness snuggly into place and used a fastener to secure it.

" Now," SF continued to speak to those around them. " We will complete this harness by turning it into a full body harness called a " Karada". This is begun with a loop around the chest under the breasts, which you knot in the back next to, but not on the spine. Then around again and over the breasts, with another knot on the opposite side of the spine, and when you tie the upper and lower ropes together between the breasts� Well you can see the results."

Kay looked down her breasts were squeezed between the ropes, swollen and pale with hard nipples pointing straight out.

" I secure this with a small non slip loop around her neck. And I like to run a couple of strands between the upper and lower half of the harness� securing the whole works. Now she can move around, go shopping, do housework, not that she would want to." He laughed heartily, " She should be too busy trying not to cum before permission is granted."

" Try it out my dear. Walk over to your Master."

Kay whispered, " Yes Sir." And eased forward off of the small platform. The pressure of the harness, as she stood up and tried to adjust to walking about with the toy and the knot inside her, had her trembling within the first two steps. She stopped for a moment and caught her breath then lifted her head and walked slowly toward Master Phoenix. Keeping her eyes locked on His helped her get across to stand before Him.

He smiled and nodded His approval and bid her turn around with a twirl of His finger. When she was standing with her back to Him, He reached out and gently swatted her ass, " You look beautiful pet. Now, back to SF for the rest of the demonstration."

She moved slowly back to the center of the room.

Kay was startled and stumbled when a tall sharp-faced woman dressed in a black leather body suit and boots stepped out to stop her. The woman�s gloved hand lifted her chin, the steely blue eyes regarding her coldly.

" You have a lovely little pet here Phoenix" The woman spoke her voice was harsh and whispery. Her long sharp nails slid down Kay�s neck tracing the ropes that bound her breasts. " I wish to use her Phoenix, I wish to play with your little toy." Then her finger closed on one nipple and began to squeeze and twist it so viciously that Kay cried out in shock.

" Endora, get your hands off of her!" Master Phoenix roared from right behind Kay and she twisted away from the woman�s hand stepping back into His protecting arms. He glared at the woman called Endora and Kay could feel the waves of anger pouring from Him. " You will never play with any pet of Mine Endora. I�ve seen the way you treat your own."

The woman raised a haughty eyebrow, and sniffed derisively. " I don�t hear any complaints from my pets." She countered.

Master Phoenix glanced pointedly at a bedraggled, leashed and gagged little sub at the side of the room. " Of course not Endora, you keep them gagged all the time."

The room laughed heartily at this and Endora turned her gaze back onto Kay who felt like the woman�s eyes were leaving a dirty trail on her skin. " We will meet again pretty." She hissed before she spun on her heel and strode away.

Kay looked up at Master Phoenix and mouthed a Thank you to Him. He smiled and smoothed her hair before accompanying her back to where SF was waiting.

" So, glad you came to join U/us Phoenix. I thought you might like to join in and help your lil� one enjoy this." SF told them in His jovial manner. He held His arm out gesturing Kay back to the platform. " I only have a couple more short things to cover here and I will return her to you."

Master Phoenix assisted Kay back onto the platform since her legs were shaking so hard from the pressures the harness was exerting and the encounter with the demanding Endora. Her nipple still stung from the woman�s rough handling. She didn�t look at the crowd, which had closed in around them once more, but kept her eyes down or fastened on Master Phoenix.

Master SF bade her kneel once more. She complied and once more the harness tugged and shifted taking her breath away for a minute. SF stepped behind her, ran his warm hands down her arms to grip her wrists and pull them behind her securing them at the wrists to the metal rings in her hair. This caused her shoulders and head to be pulled back and her breasts to lift higher.

Master Phoenix�s eyes traveled down her body approvingly as He reached out to trace the circle of her areola with His forefinger. She glanced down to see her breasts swollen and a much darker red than she had ever seen them. Her nipples were so hard they ached.

" This position," Master SF spoke to the crowd, " offers many ways of pleasuring your pet. Master Phoenix if you lift up on that nipple I believe you will see what I mean."

Master Phoenix pinched her nipple firmly and lifted causing her to arch even more. When she lifted the dildo and the knot shifted inside of her once more and she gasped, eyes going wide.

Master Phoenix growled softly and told her in a low voice. " Don�t you cum yet pet!" Then He released her nipple relaxing the strain on her arms.

" Here you go Phoenix." SF spoke cheerfully as he placed a tray on the pedestal beside Kay�s knees. Kay�s eyes darted to the tray where nipple clamps, a bowl of ice and a flogger were laying. Master Phoenix smiled�and reached for the clamps. Behind her SF signaled for a rope to be dropped He attached it to another of the rings in her hair and had it pulled up taunt allowing her very little movement.

Master Phoenix nodded his approval of her position. His fingers played with her right nipple lightly, almost absently. His dark eyes gazed down at her impassively�studying her face, which was wide-eyed with the strain of conflicting emotions. Her nipple sent strange jumbled up signals to the pit of her stomach as it hardened and stretched out for more pets. The cold bite of the clamp caused her to flinch and in the process she found that the slightest movement on her part brought with it a myriad of sensations.

She felt the tug of the rings in her hair�the subtle shifting of the dildos and the rope harness and they all served to make her body shudder. Master Phoenix repeated the maneuver with the other nipple and attached the clamp to it with identical results.

" Are those comfortable enough pet or should I tighten them? " Master Phoenix asked. His eyes twinkled and she knew that she should phrase her answer delicately. " They are very strong clamps Master and not comfortable. But, this one leaves that up to Master�s discretion."

He tipped His head to one side speculatively then taking a clamp in each hand He tugged them upward and out�forcing her body to arch. She tried not to make a sound� swallowing hard she almost managed to stifle the gasp�issuing a hiss from between clenched teeth. " Yes they are tight enough pet. But, they look very hot and swollen. It�s a good thing we have ice on hand." He chuckled and the room tittered. Taking an ice cube in each hand He began to circle her swollen breasts with the freezing edges of the cubes. Again she shuddered and flinched causing the numerous accoutrements on and in her person to shift probing and tugging until she whimpered and looked at Master Phoenix her eyes pleading with Him to allow her to cum and relieve the tension inside her before she went mad from it. His answer was a small subtle shake of His head. " Not yet my pet." His quiet tone spoke to her ears only.

With a smile He slid the bits of ice down her stomach and tucked them under the rope just above the built in clamp that held her clit.

" Now they look cold pet. We shall have to do something about that." Master Phoenix told her as He leaned down to pick up the flogger. Standing upright before her He lifted the leather lashed flogger and let the softness slither over her breasts then up over her shoulder to snake down her arms and tickle the top of her rounded ass cheek.

It felt good this soft touch of leather, Kay�s breathing relaxed, her eyes closed for a moment and then flew open as the bite of the leather tips made their mark on the cheek of her ass. She jumped involuntarily and cried out sharply when the harness drove the dildo and knot deeper while at the same time her hands and the rope overhead jerked sharply on her scalp. The flogger twirled and sang as it traveled over her body marking her with its kiss and its caresses.

She danced in her limited capacity, body undulating and swaying. Her body felt more alive than ever it had � Alive with pain�Alive with pleasure�burning with the need to explode into the wildfire of orgasm. She sang for Master Phoenix a song composed of wordless sounds, desperate cries and long low moans. So many stimulations at the same time were driving her mad.

" What do you want pet? " She heard His voice from behind the roaring in her ears. She raised desperate eyes to Him. He gazed back�peering into the fire that blazed in her eyes�waiting calmly for her answer while continuing to spin the flogger brushing her skin with it just enough to keep her moving to its tune.

She swallowed hard trying to gather enough air to form an answer. Her hoarsely whispered attempt was not audible even to herself� she tried again. " Please Master may I cum now."

He answered with a hard snapping slap of the flogger against her inner thighs that drove the clamp and the ropes into her flesh. " Yes pet, Cum�( Sssslappp) �Now!" The flogger marked the count down as Kay rode the wave of her orgasm to its height and then launched into the depths of darkness. Her screams rang off the walls of the room then fell silent.

No one moved or made a sound, the frozen gallery of faces watched and waited until Kay drew a shuddering breath and began to sway dangerously on the end of the rope. SF stepped up quickly and cut the ropes that held her in place by the rings in her hair.

Her limp form slumped forward into Master Phoenix�s arms.

SF stepped forward placing a blanket around her sweat covered body as Master Phoenix gathered her into His arms cradling her against His chest.

She was dimly aware of the people coming to life around them once again and the sound of applause.

" Thank you Phoenix ole man�you have and exceptional pet there."

Master looked at the exhausted Kay and kissed her forehead. " Thank you SF. If you will excuse us now I will attend to her needs." With a nod to the room Master Phoenix carried her off down a hall and kicked open the door to another room. Striding across to the bed it contained He laid her down gently and began to remove the ropes, the dildo and the clamps. Casting them aside He gently began to rub soothing oil into her skin. His voice murmured softly to her telling her how proud of her He was and how beautiful she was.

Kay let Him pamper her whispering Thank you to His comments. At last her heart had slowed and she had gotten enough oxygen back into her lungs to speak. " I�m very happy that I have pleased Master this evening. Thank you Master."

" In more ways than you know my pet�" He leaned down and kissed her lips tenderly. " In more ways that you will ever know. I have to leave now. I want you to go to bed now and sleep deeply. His lips found hers again and worshiped them with His kiss. Her arms tightened around His shoulders then collapsed against her own chest� He was gone.
