Chapter Five - My Realization
The train ride north from the airport seemed to last forever. I was starving,
having been only able to drink through a straw for the past 30-odd hours because
my jaw was wired shut. Thank goodness my tongue had returned to it's normal
size. I'd never spent so long in such tight bondage for one stretch of time, and
its effect surprised me. I was actually getting used to it!
The smile that Lord Henley had hooked my cheeks into gave all the other
passengers on the train the impression that I was quite comfortable, but if they
had been able to see beneath my cape and the fur muffler or hear my struggling
breaths they would have probably called the police.
When we got onto the ferry Lady Henley took me down to their private cabin.
Waiting there was a trunk of clothes. "I want to change so that when the staff
are presented to you they are impressed with their future Mistress. They will
certainly have been dressed for the occasion too, and it is only fitting that we
are also correctly dressed."
I nodded as much as my collar would allow. Lady Henley then started to loosen my
collar. I almost fainted as the oxygen rushed into to my lungs when she took off
the tweed dress and suede sheath, and pulled the bandage from my throat.
"Ah!" she said, "The cuts are healing already. Excellent!"
Then she freed my arms. They had almost lost all sensation, so having them back
in my own control was almost too much for me. My heart was racing.
Gerard was then brought in from the other room blind-folded. I soon discovered
that it was not going to be easy for him either.
Lord Henley led him to the center of the room and pulled the stiff linen collar
from his throat. He replaced it with a 6 inch wide leather collar and choke
leash that he attached to a hook in the roof of the cabin, pulling Gerard up
until he was on his tip-toes. Every time the boat swayed, Gerard strangled and
struggled to keep his footing.
Lady Henley laughed at his efforts to avoid being hung. "Oh you're so sweet
Gerard! Shall we corset him down a few inches then leave him to dance like this
for the rest of the voyage? I think it's charming."
Then she turned to me, "I want you un-gagged for the presentation." She pulled
back my lips and unhooked the wires that held my jaws.
I gasped in relief!
"But our collaring has to be the most severe they've ever seen." she said, "You
must set an example for all of them Geena. Don't you agree?"
"Yes M'Lady." I whispered hoarsely.
"Oh I know!" she exclaimed, "Rather than watch Gerard dance for us, would you
like to whip him as well Geena?"
For a moment I thought of saying no, but then...
I remembered any question from Lady Henley was actually a command, so I nodded
in agreement.
She smiled, "Give him 20 lashes. Good ones, like this!" She picked up a long
leather bull whip and snapped it across Gerard's back. It was then, when he
tried to scream, that I realized his jaws had been wired shut just like mine had
been. Poor Gerard. He hadn't bargained for any of this!
I began to whip him. After the first two strokes, without warning, Lady Henley
slapped me so hard across the cheek I almost fell down.
"That hard Geena, or I'll whip you harder still!"
I regained my balance. With tears filling my eyes, I continued whipping Gerard
as fast and as hard as I could.
Soon M'lady smiled, "That's perfect," she said.
By the time I had finished, Gerard was hanging semi-conscious, gurgling
pathetically in his ever-tightening choker, and struggling feebly to loosen it
with his fingers. Then I had the strangest realization. I had actually enjoyed
punishing him. And when I saw how erect his penis was, I could tell he enjoyed
it too.
"Now take him away and put him in his tackle." Lady Henley commanded.
"Tackle?" I asked.
"Yes, Geena. We thought it would be romantic if Gerard were to drive us up to
the Main house from the dock."
"I don't understand."
"You will darling," she smiled, "You will."
Lord Henley unhooked Gerard's leash and pulled him out of the room. Lady Henley
turned to me, "Now I want us to be even more severe, Geena. It's very important
we start off on the right foot, or the servants will think they can walk all
over us."
I swallowed. What on earth did she mean by this?
