Slave Wife

Chapter One-1

Chapter One

Ten years in the past.

Karen and her friend, Delia, giggled together near, but not quite under, the mistletoe.

They liked to think of themselves as identical twins. They were both on the cheerleading squad. Their pale brown hair was streaked by the same hairdresser on the same days with blond the yellow of early corn. They even had almost the same birthday – both very excited about turning eighteen in the spring.

Actually, Delia was a little shorter than Karen’s 5’8” and about a stone thinner. Karen was healthy, robust and rosy cheeked, like the farm girl she would have been if her father had not been forced to sell off most of the family’s farm and go to work in their tiny rural town’s only factory. And though Delia was pretty, Karen’s facial features were classically regular, beautiful under a slight padding of baby fat – indeed, perfect.

Karen’s Dad had said Delia could come with the family to the company Christmas party, this Christmas an extra fancy affair to introduce the company’s new owner to his employees.

Now the girls stood holding plates only partially emptied of masses of Christmas sweets more fabulous than anything they’d ever tasted. They stared at the boss when they didn’t think he was looking, telling each other stories about how he would walk over and kiss them under the mistletoe. They couldn’t believe how young he was. 30? Well, much younger than Karen’s father anyway … and how handsome.

Delia thought he looked like Jude Law, with his elegant wavy hair and smouldering eyes. Suddenly Delia gasped and poked her elbow into Karen’s ribs.

Karen spun around to see the new owner coming toward them, toward her she realized, an expression on his face that made her breath stop in her throat. He smiled down on her and extended his hand. She quickly tried to shift her plate to her left hand so she could shake his.

Instead he took her plate and handed it to a passing waiter. “Let me help you,” he said. He looked deep into her eyes. “You have a very beautiful face.”

His eyes flickered discreetly lower before lighting back on her face. An anxious tremor passed through her. Did he think something was wrong with her? She was too inexperienced to know for certain and didn’t have a clue how to react. Instead she waited hopelessly for his approval, looking enthralled, almost hypnotized, into his face like a small house pet.

He turned and walked away.

Karen heard her parents arguing when they thought she was asleep. She heard her mother weeping and her father’s deep, agitated voice. “I don’t know what else to do. I could go to jail.”

She heard her mother’s voice and knew she was clenching her hands as she did when she was extremely upset. “Why? Why did this happen?”

“I swear. I didn’t do it.” In her mind’s eye, she could see her father’s hulking form bent intently over her diminutive mother. His voice became uncharacteristically plaintive. “You know that, don’t you?”

Karen anxiously strained to hear but for awhile there was nothing except silence. What was happening?

Her father’s loud exclamation caused her to start. “You believe me, don’t you?”

Finally, she heard her mother’s strangled, quavering voice. “Yes, of course I do … but I don’t understand what he wants us to do.”

Karen’s father voice was hesitant, thoughtful. “I guess he wants us to make sure she goes out with him.” His tone changed, sounding optimistic. “It won’t be so bad, will it? He’s handsome and rich. She’ll probably think it’s a fairy tale.”

With every appearance of casualness Michael surveyed the girls, but only girls with traditional miens engaged in traditional activities. His smoky gaze fixed on girls walking with heads demurely bowed beside chaperones or quietly assisting their parents in the small shops, and then moved on.

The superb Madame Lee minced along at his side, her femininity bewitching in its adeptness. With incomparable sensitivity, she assimilated his every movement, every intention. Though too old and experienced for his tastes, Michael thoroughly admired the woman. Not only her precisely engineered beauty and sensuality, which was remarkable. He thought her brilliant and, perhaps more useful, shrewd. She was, he believed, one of his few equals, able to fulfil his requirements unequivocally and with utmost discretion.

In the first month of their acquaintance, Madame had offered him an array of young girls tendered for sale by their families. As with all his needs, she quickly learned, however. Only special girls, girls exceptionally pure, cherished and protected, suited him. These girls were never for sale.

As they approached the historic black and red pagoda he saw her. Underneath his unwavering exterior, excitement billowed into his chest like a piercing wind. She was perfect! He’d never been certain why but height was always an issue for him. Like every other female aspect, height must be modest, not short but no more than 5’6”. He estimated hers at 5’5”. Her fragile body was nubile, in its first full bloom, her features as delicate and harmonious as a rare, pale orchid. Celestial! His blood pulsed in intoxicating accord with each beat of his heart.

As her grandmother turned her into the bustling marketplace, she looked up and their eyes met. That one look gushed like a waterspout into his groin. Hurriedly, demurely, her eyes dropped to the ground. Yes! He had to have her!

His nod was almost imperceptible but Madame Lee was, as always, ahead of him. Her red-lacquered fingertips touched his forearm. “Michael, would you care for tea?”

Happily he smiled down on her. “Why don’t we watch first?” With cloud-like effortlessness, she guided him into the market, through crowds who miraculously parted before them in, he was certain, awful respect.

The grandmother moved between booths and shop-fronts, examining, haggling and buying with the girl in her wake. Madame again touched his arm as the girl walked intently toward a bucket of pink and yellow lilies at a storefront. As she approached, a Chinese workman, one of the identically dressed hundreds populating Chinatown, stepped forward and offered a long golden stem. Carefully, so as not to cover her face with the flower’s profuse yellow pollen, she sniffed. Appearing from nowhere a second workman joined in their admiration. The two men helped her hold the flower as they gently ushered her away. Michael and Madame had already retired to her house for tea when the girl’s grandmother rushed through the marketplace shrieking hysterically.

The tea was, of course, exceptional. Until he’d met Madame Lee he’d not realized tea’s vast differences in quality. She served a quality suitable for the Emperor, a different variety each visit. Today it was jasmine, and the contradiction of exotic flowers with superbly acid tannin blossomed sublimely on his tongue. With it were delicate, pale yellow almond cookies decoratively nestled in a fine Song Dynasty rimmed celadon dish. “For good fortune and virility,” she invariably told him.

Leisurely they partook. When they’d finished Madame raised one long finger and excused herself. Without moving, he waited for her return. But within his breast his heart beat like a hammer.

She slipped silently into the sitting room, graciously holding the door ajar, while she bowed him through. He ascended a lushly carpeted staircase to a familiar lacquered door. Each step made his eagerness more palpable and the insistent voice louder within him.

With infinite gentleness he turned the gilded handle and eased open the solid – soundproofed Madame told him on his first visit – door. His breath ceased and he lurched awkwardly as he stepped inside. Yes, perfect!

Centred in the ornately decorated chamber on a black lacquered bed, no really a platform, the slight body stretched, wrists and ankles chained to U-shaped attachments at each corner. The girl’s alabaster skin against blood-red silk coverlets highlighted her perfect form. With almost unbearable anticipation, Michael stood still, examining the spine’s fragile curve and the swell of young twin bottoms.

Slowly, quietly, he approached, pleasurably noting his feet’s immersion into the thick scalloped Chinese rug. He circled, all the way around the platform, touching this part and that with flattened fingertips, sucking in her quivers of life. For several moments he stood at her head, enjoying the contrast of the small black undifferentiated roundness, which appeared even smaller in the stretchy hood that clung fast to every contour, to the body’s lean pallid detail. He bent and examined the gag’s rounded bulge, only slight due to tight straps pulling the ball far back into her mouth.

All the while the voice was speaking to him – first whispering then raising its voice louder and louder until now it almost screamed. Michael heard his own disturbed breathing, the voice’s breathing. His hands pressed over his ears but he knew it was hopeless. The beast within him would very soon have its way. Even now the pressure was growing unbearable. With excruciating determination, he struggled against it, still walking, still touching.

“Just let go,” it told him. “Give her to me. You know it’s really what you want.” The voice pressed him but it also lulled, seduced.

Yes, he knew, it was what he wanted. With a sigh that exploded outward he succumbed. Then the beast was on her, feasting on this exceptional delicacy. Michael’s consciousness reeled in ecstasy as the beast tasted her, licking the wondrously fine tissues. It chose her lower back first, taunting him and itself with the delights no more than an inch away. Slowly, then faster, faster, his tongue moved into the long crease.

Michael watched, distant yet simultaneously deep in the carnality, then reeled as the bestial tongue’s tip touched the delicate anal puckers and pressed deeper. “So sweet!” the beast exclaimed and he concurred. Her every millimetre tasted so deliciously sweet. With sincere regret, Michael understood that the beast would have that hole, that he would no doubt rip the tight, untrammelled little orifice to shreds.

But now the tongue continued lower. It licked between her diminutive labia, first the outer then the inner. The long licks grew in frenzy as it drank her juices. It wanted to consume every bit of her and it did, burying its – his – teeth into her inner thigh’s splendid tautness. Michael heard the remnants of a scream, thin and airy around the gag and through the black fabric, and felt the beast revel in the sound, its organ engorging to rock-like hardness.

Somehow, Michael didn’t remember the actions, the organ was uncovered. It rose tall and straight between the open white thighs. He saw its round cap press against the puckers, harder, harder, harder. Michael was breathless with anticipation. With one final frenzied push it was inside. Again the girl shrieked and now she writhed uncontrollably against the chains’ restraint, cutting her wrists. Michael could see she strained to be still but her pain was too great.

And the organ was inside with sensations too exquisite to control, even if he’d been able. The hole was so warm, so comforting, as it engulfed him in a secure caress. Innumerable indefinable sensations swirled through him as the beast took her, withdrawing almost entirely out of the tight hole and then ravenously re-entering. Michael watched the slender body’s contortions, indeed felt them telegraphed from the beast’s penetration, and bliss rolled from his centre into every cell.

He gave himself up to the sensation, to the heat, joining in his beast’s celebration. His hands held the narrow behind still against the great force moving inside it. The speed, the frenzy, grew to levels so rapturous as to approach pain … and madness. Together they screamed for release. Vaguely he heard the girl scream with them as the universe convulsed into a point then exploded into delirium.

When consciousness returned he found his lengthy bulk collapsed completely covering the small, still frame, his c**k buried inside her to his balls. Quickly he pressed long arms against the red silk, lifting his torso’s weight off her but not yet extracting his p***s. Was she dead? He hoped not. She was not yet too sullied to discard and he so wanted to use her again.

He pressed two fingers into her armpit and searched for a pulse. Yes! Weak but apparent. He lifted the hood to her nose and unbuckled the ball gag, in passing observing the deep scores beside the pink lips and the black hair’s upward twists above the sylphlike neck. Not off entirely. She would wear the black covering till she left this place.
