Palmyra Weston slid the tray onto the small table and looked around the hospital cafeteria before pulling out a chair. She saw none of her close acquaintances, but there were several other nurses in groups of two or three spotted at random in the large room. She took her seat at the table, sipped at the tomato juice in the small frosted glass, and picked up her fork.
As she toyed with her salad, she rested one elbow on the table, bringing her arm up and placing her fingertips on her brow. Her fingers formed a protective guile through which she could peer without being easily detected.
Her eyes searched the faces at the nearby tables as she nibbled half-heartedly at food she didn't really want. There was a restlessness in her today, and it worried her a little. She was to be in surgery this afternoon, and Dr. Grafton was operating. One sign of restlessness around him, and she would be in trouble. He was a fanatic on complete alertness at all times.
As she tried to throw off the unexplainable nervousness, her gaze halted on a group seated two tables away from her. Her pulse raced for a few beats as she studied the darkly handsome countenance of the man who was facing toward her. He was nodding at something one of the other diners at his table was saying.
She realized that it was Dr. Grafton's back which partly hid the upper torso of the man whose appearance excited her so much. If he was in Grafton's company, he must be another doctor, and probably an important one. Grafton was known for his snobbishness among the other members of his profession.
Palmyra was trying to remember where she had seen the exciting face before. Her fingers parted to give her a better view of him. Just then, he looked up while drinking from his water tumbler, and his piercing gray eyes met her gaze.
Her pulse jumped, starting an even more rapid pace than before. Her china-blue eyes flickered away from the gray orbs which had tried to lock them in place. She fumbled with the peas on her fork, and several dropped off to roll across the table. As she reached out to keep them from falling on the floor, her hand knocked over the Juice glass.
As the edge of the glass hit the tabletop, it rolled, and tomato juice splashed out at her just as she jumped to her feet. It made a crimson pattern on the front of her uniform, right at the crotch. Clumsily, aware that she was being stared at by those around her, she dabbed at the puddle on the table with her tiny paper napkin.
It was definitely inadequate, and she now regretted not having used it to blot the worst off her uniform. To get more napkins, she would have to walk through the room past dozens of diners, her embarrassing stain looking for all the world as though she had been caught unaware by a sudden and generous menstrual flow.
She could feel the heat of the blood pounding at her temples, and knew she was blushing furiously. The longer she postponed the humiliating promenade to get napkins or a cleaning rag, the longer she was the target for all the eyes nearby.
Then her downcast eyes saw the neatly pressed creases in the fawn slacks, and as her gaze traveled upward, she knew even before she reached his face who it was that had come swiftly to her table.
The lean, tanned face wore a warm expression of solicitude, and his teeth gleamed in a friendly smile. He had picked up all the napkins available at his table, and now handed them to Palmyra.
"Please sit down," he said, and she wondered why his voice, though gentle enough, seemed to be issuing a command. As she took the napkins and reseated herself, he pulled out the chair across from her and sat down.
"Moisten it with a little water, first," he advised. But again, it sounded like an order, rather than a suggestion. She dipped the corner of a napkin in her water glass and reached under the table to sponge hastily at the embarrassing stain.
"I had a similar accident once," he said. His voice, she noticed now, was pleasantly modulated, even though there was a steely tone underlying the more gentle sound. "I was wearing tropical whites. It was at a sidewalk cafe in Paris. Not only was I embarrassed, but when I stood up I had the horribly strange feeling that I had been castrated. It was a hell of a psychological shock for a few moments, until I pulled myself together."
"Thank you for coming to my rescue," she told him, amazed at the casual way he discussed such sexually anatomical matters with a stranger of the opposite sex. It made her wonder if he really was a medical man, after all. Laymen usually thought nurses were immune to embarrassment at such matters.
"The memory of my own experience made me more than eager to lie of whatever help I could," he replied. "If only as moral support."
"I'm very grateful, Doctor ..."
"Harshman," he supplied. "Paul Harshman. With one 'N' only. And you're ...?" one almost-satanic brow arched quizzically at her.
"Pal Weston," she replied. "It's Palmyra, but only my mother uses the full name, especially when I've done something to upset her."
"Do you do that often, Pal?" he wanted to know.
"Heavens, no!" she protested. "I'm usually not clumsy at all. This is the first time I've ever spilled anything at the table since I was a kid."
"That's not what I meant, Pal," he said, chuckling softly. "I wondered if you often did things to upset your mother."
"Oh!" her laughter joined in, and their eyes met in mutual warmth for a brief moment. Then she quieted as she remembered that Grafton was only a few yards away. "I hope you won't tell Dr. Grafton how fumbled-fingered I was. I'm on his surgery team this afternoon."
"I'll be the soul of discretion," he promised, "if you'll have dinner with me this evening." He was smiling, but that steely undertone made her think that he was seriously blackmailing her.
"And if I couldn't wouldn't?" she asked, blue eyes wide as she peered into his metallic gray orbs.
"Let's not even discuss that possibility," he said. "Shall I pick you up at seven? And where do I call for you?" His relaxed confidence was disconcerting, and beneath it she detected the same tone of command. It disarmed her.
"Castle Arms Apartments. It's 2A," she said, then got to her feet, trying to keep her hands in front of her pinkly damp uniform. Harshman stood up and moved to stand between her and the exit.
"I'll stay in front of you until we get where there's less traffic," he offered. She moved along closely behind him until they were in a hall intersection.
"Thank you very much, Doctor," she said.
"You needn't thank me," he replied. "You're paying me for services rendered, you know." When her eyes widened at this, he hurried to clarify his statement. "The pleasure of your lovely company tonight ... remember?" His smile melted any misgivings she had begun to feel as she wondered what kind of payment he had intended to exact.
"That's right. I hadn't forgotten, really. Just a little confused after my silly accident. Seven o'clock, then."
"Seven," he repeated, then turned and moved down the hall toward the elevators. Pal gazed after him over her shoulder as she moved in the opposite direction. When she almost collided with a cart from the diet kitchen, she pulled her mind back to her duties, and rushed to get her uniform changed before she reported to surgery.
Luckily, Thaddeus Grafton had a minor emergency with an outpatient and was several minutes late, so he didn't discover Pal's tardiness. She had just finished getting into sterile garb and was adjusting her mask as he came plunging through the door of the scrub-room.
Later, during those short respites between stages of the operation, she felt him studying her. Twice, she managed to catch him looking directly at her, but he shifted his gaze to the patient both times. Yet, she had noticed his studious regard, and the quizzical arch of his brows before he looked away. She wondered if someone else had seen her nervous clumsiness in the cafeteria, and had mentioned it to the difficult old surgeon.
When the second patient was completely under the control of the anesthetic, and Grafton began the mastectomy, she happened to look up at the small audience seated behind the glass which separated them from the sterile amphitheater of the operating room.
Paul Harshman was staring intently at the procedure, and for a brief moment before he noticed her watching him, she got the strange impression that he was morbidly relishing the way Grafton's scalpel had started to sever the breast from the young patient's torso.
But after he met her startled gaze, he seemed to change his expression to one of humorous camaraderie. When he winked at her, she forced a smile, then realized he couldn't see it behind the mask.
Quickly, she turned her head to watch the surgeon. At any time, he might finish the commentary being picked up by the overhead microphone for the instruction of the interns and other members of the viewing audience. She didn't dare be a fraction of a second late in her reaction when he called for something and held out his hand.
When the wound was dressed and the bloodied mound of creamy flesh had been covered and sent off to pathology, Pal looked up at the big window again. Paul Harshman was gone.
By the time she had finished the post-op duty and removed the bloody-sleeved surgical gown, Grafton and his assistant had left the scrub-room. While she washed up, she could hear the intern who had attended the operation --- Jack something-or-other who was Grafton's current protege --- talking to Matthews, the anesthetist.
"Did you notice that lean, tanned cat in the expensive suit? He was licking his chops as if he wanted to dive through the glass and eat that meat before the pathologists got their hands on it. And the hungry look in those cold, steely eyes! Man, I'll bet he'd have gnawed off the other breast before anyone could stop him if he'd been down below with us!"
"Kee-rist, Jack!" said the anesthetist, disgusted with the way the intern's mind worked. "How could you interpret all that by a couple of looks at an observer during such a short operation? Sure you aren't a bit of a sadist, yourself? He was probably just straining to get a good view, like any doctor might, in case he ever has to perform the same operation himself."
"Not him, friend!" protested the intern. "He's not a surgeon. He's a field rep for Boswell Bio-Ceuticals. I know, because he had lunch with Grafton and me. And different things he talked about gave me the feeling he wasn't exactly normal in his attitude toward the physiology of surgery."
"I still think you've got a sick mind, Jack," said the anesthetist. "You'll have to excuse me. I'm on standby for O.R. Two. Some chick who wants a natural delivery just might scream for a little help at the last minute when those pains get real bad."
Pal hurried out into the hall before she could be noticed. By the time the two men appeared, she was busily pretending to drink at the hall fountain. When they separated, she slowly followed the intern, who was headed for the coffee room, she knew. She wanted to see if he was going to spread any more of his sick slander.
She wasn't quite sure why she felt the urge to protect Paul Harshman's reputation. After all, even if she did have a date with him, she hadn't known him longer than three hours, and their meeting had been awfully brief. Of course, she had eyed him several times in the last few months.
So he was on the road for a pharmaceutical manufacturer. No wonder she saw him so seldom here at Good Sam. But those tall, lean good looks had intrigued her every time she had glimpsed him. In fact, he made her maidenly juices flow a little each time she saw him. She tried to think cooler thoughts as she pushed open the door to the coffee room.
Jack of the sick mind was in a huddle with Juanita Peron and Isabel Marcy, the two goof-offs of the current crop of nurse's aides. But his smart mouth, Pal noticed, was devoted to the type of talk he always used around the more impressionable females of the staff. As long as he was busy trying to maneuver someone into his bed, he wouldn't be likely to reopen the subject of Paul Harshman.
Pal lit a cigarette, took three puffs, and put it out. Then she left the room before anyone could get her into a conversation.
For the rest of the day, whenever she had some time for her own thoughts, she pondered on the strange complexity of Paul's personality. By the end of the day, she had solved nothing, but she had determined to use her feminine wiles to probe this masculine mystery when she met him in the evening.
Of all the things about him --- at least all of the few things she knew or could guess --- the one which bothered her most was that indescribable quality which seemed to magnetize her whenever he was around her.
She began to think that maybe it was a case of the bird hypnotized by the serpent. But she shrugged that off as prejudice which must have been caused by the intern she was comma to think of as Sick Jack.
After all, even if she was a virgin, and still lacked experience in some phases of the male-female relationship, she had managed to take care of herself pretty well so far. Paul Harshman couldn't be a danger to her. No matter who or what he was, she was only going to "repay" him for his lunch-time courtesy by acceding to his wish for her company during a single evening.
What harm could come of that?
CHAPTER 2
Whatever else might be said of Paul Harshman, Pal decided, he couldn't be called cheap. Their drinks and dinners cost him over one hundred dollars, and he was going to drive them in his rented car to a road company performance of a current Broadway production. Having checked ticket prices the previous week, Pal knew that the seats Paul had reserved added another sixty dollars to the evening's tariff.
As he tipped the doorman of the exclusive club, where they had dined, Paul shifted his wallet under the blue-white light of the neon sign, frowned, and then tucked the obviously expensive leather folder in his jacket pocket.
Their car was driven up to the door, Paul helped Pal in, and went around to get behind the wheel.
"Hang on tight, beautiful," he told her. "Have to stop at the hotel on our way to the theater. It seems I forgot to change the tickets from my card case to my wallet. If we don't waste any time on the way, we'll still make the curtain."
He was also a good driver, Pal learned, as the car sped through traffic at magnum speed limits, maneuvered deftly in and out of lanes to avoid delays by slower vehicles. But she closed her eyes a few times, as they came close to brushing other cars during the frenzied race against time.
Though Paul had used the term "hotel" to describe his lodgings, when they wheeled into the beautifully landscaped driveway, Pal saw that it was more truly a motel. The larger part of the rooms and suites were separate units, with maximum privacy assured by the ingenious layout and judicious use of shrubs and trees.
Paul parked the car behind the end unit --- the most distant from the central facilities of the complex. He excused himself, and started to go inside. Then he halted, turned, and came back to the car. He leaned to place his head at the level of Pal's eyes, and opened her door.
"I don't like to leave you out here alone while I rummage around for those tickets," he told her. "It's too dark here, and there's too much shrubbery for concealment. Come on and wait for me in the doorway."
Pal had eyed the dark environment when they first parked, and it didn't take any coaxing to keep her as close to her escort as was properly permissible. She climbed out and accompanied him to his door. A faint glow from a recessed light illuminated the keyhole, but there was no overhead lamp at the entrance. Pal was not greatly surprised, knowing the secret nature of many comings and goings at motels.
Paul unlocked the door, leaving it wide open as he went into the dark interior. Instead of switching on the lights, he went through the room into another, and she saw a subdued gleam as he turned on a light somewhere beyond. She heard him rattling hangers, then there were sounds of drawers being opened and closed.
After a few minutes, just as she was growing uneasy and peering intently at the dark shrub-shapes around her, she heard Paul coming back. He was muttering stifled curses as he approached.
"I'm awfully sorry, Pal. I can't find those damned tickets anywhere. Maybe I'm rushing too fast. Come on in and latch the door while I take another look, will you, please?"
She made no move to comply, wondering about the advisability of enclosing herself in a remote motel unit like this with a man she knew so little about. Why did he want her inside all of a sudden, she wondered.
"With all the narcotic samples I have to keep in my quarters," he explained, providing the answer to her unvoiced question, "I have to be careful."
Pal stepped inside and closed the door without further thought. Her own training had instilled the same caution in her daily routine. One always kept narcotics and other drugs locked away from unauthorized personnel.
"Have a seat, Pal. I'll try not to be too long," he promised. He was outlined in the faint light beyond him as he went through the door to the adjoining room. Then he disappeared. Pal sat on the edge of a sofa she could just barely identify in the grayish darkness. Again she could hear his searching sounds and his annoyed mutterings.
Finally he came back into the room and stood there, once more a silhouette against the pale light of the doorway. He uttered a solitary "Damn!" and then come over to plop himself down beside Pal on the sofa. He heaved an exasperated sigh.
"I've never felt so much like an ass in all my life," he complained. "I had those tickets before I left to pick you up, and now they've vanished into thin air."
"I don't suppose there's any way of getting past the formalities when you've lost your tickets?" Pal wanted to know. "I mean, like telling them what happened and what the seat numbers are?"
"You're making me feel even more asinine than I was," said Paul. His sheepish grin softened the imitation she had been to feel at his inept handling of what she would have considered a simple thing. "I didn't even notice what seats they were. The lady told me they were the best ones available, so I didn't even look at the diagram of the auditorium."
"Look," said Pal, thinking that Fate might have handed her some sort of relief on this obligatory date. "Maybe we just weren't meant to see the show. Perhaps the roof's going to crumble or something, and we were supposed to be saved from the disaster." She made her tone light and humorous, thinking that he would be easily conned into calling it an evening. "I'm actually a little tired tonight, as it is. It's been one of those harrowing days for me in surgery."
"Poor kid," said Paul, getting up and heading out of the dimness into the faintly lighted hall. "I shouldn't have pressured you into such a full evening. Well, I'm going to pour us a small drink, then we're going to take you home."
He disappeared before she could protest. She half-arose, then sank back with a sigh of resignation. It would be simpler to accept his final choice of activity before the evening ended. Considering the various doubts she had entertained about him, a drink in his motel apartment seemed pretty tame.
Again, she found herself remembering the strange look on his face as he leaned forward in the surgery amphitheater. And the wild comments of Sick Jack, the intern. Before she could do any effective sorting in her mind, Paul was back with two tinkling glasses.
"Here you go, Pal," he said, handing her one of the cool, wet tumblers. "Hope you like Scotch. This is a favorite of mine ... the only stuff I take with me on the road. If you're not a Scotch drinker, that heavy, peaty taste may seem medicinal, according to my bourbon ... and martini-drinking friends. But it'll give you a bit of a pickup to counteract the boredom of this stupidly handled evening. To your health, Pal!" He took a deep sip.
She was going to make a polite protest, but decided to drink with him instead of what might be a less convincing courtesy. She was just beginning to realize how disappointed she was in not getting to see that show.
She wasn't a genuine Scotch enthusiast, but she didn't mind the heavy, smoky flavor. It was cool and wet, and she was suddenly quite anxious to get it down and leave.
"I enjoyed the dinner very much, Paul," she said after her first swallow. "And don't feel so guilty about the ticket thing. That sort of thing happens to everyone, sometime. To a fumble-fingers like me, it seems like a pretty natural thing to lose a couple of small pieces of cardboard. Bottoms up?" She tilted the glass and downed the contents.
Paul took her empty glass with one hand, tipped up his own for the final drops hiding around the ice cubes, then went back to leave the tumblers in the kitchenette, or wherever he had gotten them.
It seemed as if the tiresomeness of the entire day finally got the best of Pal. She leaned back, resting her head on the back of the sofa, and wished Paul would hurry. She was anxious to be in bed. He seemed to be taking an awfully long time to get rid of two glasses.
It struck her that the drink had been pretty potent. Usually, she could put away several average drinks before getting woozy.
A tiny alarm tried to sound somewhere at the back of her mind. Something was attempting to creep through her thoughts. Something from the pages of the current drug handbook --- quick-acting sedatives --- Nembutal --- Cyclopal Evipal --- Neraval ---
She tried to sit up, thinking how silly it would be for Paul to come back and find her asleep. But it seemed much ember to just relax and let go ---
CHAPTER 3
Paul pulled the station wagon to a halt at the gas pumps, and climbed out, stretching elaborately. While the station attendant filled the tank and checked under the hood, Paul glanced into the rear window and satisfied himself that the interior betrayed no trace of his illegal cargo.
He went into the rest room, and by the time he had returned, the bronzed, wrinkled old operator had finished with the vehicle and was sucking at a can of beer by the battered old desk in the office.
Paul spotted the clipboard and signed the invoice, waited while the old character took a final sip of beer, then accepted his copy of the paperwork and the plastic credit card.
"Keep cool, Pop," he said. And he walked out, taking the long way around the station wagon to get another peek into the back of the vehicle. The rear glass was just as dirty as when he came in. He grinned to himself. Few operators would have spent the time to clean a rear window on a scorching day like this. And he wasn't eager to improve the visibility of that glass.
As he headed back out onto the freeway, he was thankful that he had no glass in the sides of this salesman's special wagon. He had to wait on traffic for a while, before he could get into the flow of the slow lane. While his rear wheels were still in the driveway of the service station, a motorcycle patrolman swerved in beside him. The bike moved very slowly across the sidewalk area of the drive, and the officer glanced toward the side of Paul's vehicle.
A momentary chill traveled up his back, but he told himself it wasn't fear of discovery. There was nothing basically suspicious about his car, and he knew that even if someone took a look inside, there was little chance that the unconscious Pal would be found.
A hole opened in the traffic, and he slipped out onto the highway with normal speed. He watched in the mirror as the motorcycle moved on into the service station and pulled up in the relative coolness of the shade beneath the service canopy. He grinned and picked up speed, gradually working over into the faster lanes, until he was barreling along at seventy in the speed lane.
He reassessed the shuddering tingle that had run through him, and decided that the brief glimpse of the officer had merely reminded him of his virginal passenger. And the anticipation of what he would do with her when he got to his destination had brought on a thrill of physical excitement.
When he found himself ahead of the mainstream of traffic, he eased up to sixty-five and relaxed, resting his dark hair back against the cushioned headrest, and letting the smoothly running car almost drive itself.
He was extremely pleased with his final swing over this large territory. Not only had he accomplished his personal goals, but he had actually reaped a larger amount of orders for Boswell than had ever been previously recorded for the four-state district.
He could resign with an unbeaten record and the gratitude of the company. Especially when they learned that he would himself be a potential buyer of their products.
He laughed to himself as he wondered what Sherm Boswell and his sales manager, Curt Webster, would do if they knew what kind of a facility the Harshman Research Foundation really maintained in the isolated woods of Northern California.
It had taken Paul Harshman six years of hard work for Boswell Bio-Ceuticals to establish the kind of future he had been dreaming of for most of his life. The fact that he had made some sizable contributions to the illegal narcotics flow in the Southwest had helped him reach his goal several years sooner than he could have managed it as a super-salesman with a degree in pharmacy.
Paul's carefully planned collaboration with hijackers had resulted in the theft of several million dollars over those six years. Not in cash, but in highly negotiable narcotics and other pharmaceutical products.
With his share, Paul had invested in the remotely located old sanitarium with spacious grounds and surprisingly sturdy buildings. His remodeling of the facility had made it an ultra-modern plant on the inside, without disturbing the quiet old serenity of the antique-appearing exterior.
Of course, Boswell --- and any other curious parties --- would be told that there was a silent backer who furnished the capital for the foundation. And the name of Dr. Jonas Stillwell would add to their respect and awe of Paul's organizational ability.
They couldn't know that Stillwell's magic name in the field of antibiotic research might have been overshadowed by the notoriety from which Paul had saved the brilliant doctor.
As he drove north on the four-lane freeway, Paul mused over the manner in which accidental meetings had placed him in such a very advantageous position.
First, he had met Marv Gilman at that San Francisco party. It was a selected group. Only those who had passed several screenings and become firmly identified as sexual-discipline fanatics were at that wild orgy of booze, bodies and blood!
Marv had been a passive addict, strangely enough, and Paul later marveled at the steely personality Gilman displayed in business. Because on that night, Gilman had been crawling like a beaten schoolboy before the punishment he was getting from a tiny brunette in leather costume and five-inch heels. It was more logical when Paul made himself regard his own conduct in the eyes of "normal" society. He knew that he appeared to be a gentle, courteous and chivalrous man. Quite the opposite of his conduct when he had a cringing female at his feet, and a whip in his hand!
But when a growing acquaintanceship with Gilman led to Paul's collaboration with Marv's hijackers, it seemed quite natural. It might have been because both activities were frowned on by the more conservative elements of society.
Now, Dr. Stillwell was quite a different proposition.
As he ramped off the freeway and headed northeast into the wooded foothills, Paul recalled the first time he had seen the noted Dr. Stillwell ...
CHAPTER 4
The party had been on a houseboat in the bay.
When Paul arrived, and had been passed through the security guards on deck, he spent little time in boozing. He had one quick drink with the host and hostess--- president and recording secretary, respectively, of the secret Lucifer's Leather League --- then headed into the main cabin, where things were starting to get exciting.
After watching the half-dozen couples in the salon for a few minutes, Paul went to the cabin his hostess had told him to use, and opened the compact overnight case he had brought.
In twenty minutes, he had stripped and then donned the skintight leather costume which had cost him close to two-hundred dollars. Coiled whip in hand, he left the small cabin and circulated in the salon. When he saw the tall, ripe blonde in the coarse suede peasant costume, he knew she was what he wanted. That large-boned frame was well-padded enough to sustain a lot of disciplinary punishment without much marking or other after-effects.
He headed toward her, and as he neared the spot where she stood, looking like a lost, frightened child in spite of her height, he spotted a muscular character in russet-brown leather briefs and jacket and matching shin-high boots --- apparently headed for the same quarry.
Paul got there first. He grabbed one of her limply dangling wrists and pulled it to him. Her blue eyes admitted his presence, and he could see the pent-up passion behind the icy wall in them, just waiting for the application of controlled punishment to release the Siberian tigress inside her.
"Have you been taken, slave?" he asked. Her eyes dropped, and he could barely hear her reply in the hum of the conversation and the tinkle of iced glasses. But her enunciation was sharp and clear in spite of the low volume.
"No, my lord!" she said. "I have just arrived."
"I take you for my own!" he thundered, in accordance with the club rules. He led her only one step before he found his path completely blocked by the massive man in russet-brown.
"Challenge of choice, by seniority!" rumbled the man. Paul eyed the sizable bulk, noticed the salt-and-pepper hair and matching mustache, the large hands with slender, spatulate fingers.
"Your code?" Paul asked, determined not to lose this particularly choice specimen he had collared unless it was unavoidable.
"M-thirty-one-C-ten-one-oh-eight," intoned the challenger.
"You may be my senior in years lived, but not as a League member," replied Paul. He grinned his triumph at the older man, and thanked his lucky stars he had joined when he did. "M-thirty-one-C-ten-oh-ninety-seven," he countered.
The gray-haired challenger frowned, then made a last attempt to get the slave of his choice.
"But I need her!" he explained. "My thing is too big for all of the others that haven't been taken." His expression indicated that he thought he had justified his challenge in another way, but Paul wasn't buying it.
"I don't care how damned big your thing is --- and, incidentally, how do you know mine isn't bigger, you braggart? --- this wench is officially mine, and I'm about to take her where I can put her through her paces."
"No! no! no!" protested the other. "You don't understand. My slave has to be able to take this inside her before the night is over." The hand he had kept at his side now brought up the coils of a whip. Its butt was an expertly sewed leather cylinder that appeared to be about two-and-one-quarter inches in diameter and at least eight inches in length.
The girl, still held by Paul's steely finger around her wrist, moaned as she eyed it, and pulled away from it as though it were a snake. Paul kept his grasp on the taut wrist while coolly addressing his erstwhile challenger.
"I'm afraid you'll have to satisfy yourself with using the other end of your thing tonight, friend, unless you're lucky enough to find another strapping specimen like this juicy wench, here."
He turned away from the dismayed challenger, feeling a little sorry for the man. He knew what it was like to anticipate a particular experience, then watch it go down the drain. He had been challenged once before, at an affair in the suburbs of Fresno. That time, he had lost a ripe slave that he had been drooling over for an hour. These days, he didn't waste time socializing after he had picked his victim for the evening.
He took the girl in tow, then moved her in front of him, making her clear the way across the floor. When he had her back in the smaller cabin where he had changed clothes, he flung her onto the rug and stood looking down at her.
The lash descended a split-second after he flipped it up into the air. It was the beginning of a long and fulfilling session for both of them.
When he had worked up a sweat with the effort of whipping her, she was a mass of jumping, quivering, wincing flesh, crying out to him for a brief respite from the biting lash. But the giving and taking of punishment had worked them both up to a fever pitch.
"Peel off your garment, wench!" he commanded, and stood with hands on hips as she hastened to remove the suede jumper. Then she was on hands and knees before him, awaiting his desires.
He looked at the animal beauty of her perspiration-damp body and let his gaze rove over her sleek flanks, the long arch of her back and the bowed neck. Her head was down, the long blonde hair sweeping the floor. He squatted to study the slight convexity of her belly and the hanging but firmly rounded breasts that now sported swollen nipples from the fierce reaction of her sexuality to the expertly administered punishment.
"Milk yourself, least!" he ordered. "If you can get any juice out of those heifer's teats, I'll spare you a little of the pain I intend to inflict later."
Her hands went to her nipples, and she stroked at them with her thumbs and forefingers, knowing the uselessness of her attempts, but automatically striving to comply with the commands of her master for the evening.
He let her work at the futile task for several minutes, interrupting her occasionally to make her use more force as she kneaded the tender sponges which were swelling more and more with the brutal treatment.
Then he lay down on the rug, whip coiled in one hand, and without turning his head to look at her, he issued another order.
"Give me suckle, wench. Perhaps I can draw that stubborn mink from your useless body."
She moved to place herself over him, and he caught a fleeting glimpse of the raw redness of one springy nipple as it passed over his eyes. Then the hot, throbbing sponge of flesh was touching his lips. He sucked it into his mouth and vacuumed at the swollen tidbit until his slave-girl moaned with the painful ecstasy of his efforts.
When he finally gave up the pretense of trying to draw fluid from the firm fullness of her udders, he began to bite the nipples, and she cried out with pain as he outraged the tender tissues. He relented and let the mouthful of protesting flesh slip from his lips.
She was gasping her agony, still on hands and knees, and when she could breathe freely enough to speak, he heard her plea.
"Please, my lord! Fuck me! The juice I could not give you at my miserable breasts is flowing like a river down my legs."
"Then turn around," he commanded. "Hang your juicy cunt over me so I can see if it pleases me." She whirled around, and as her thighs moved over him, she lowered her loins to place the wet slit of her crotch above his face.
He could smell the faint body musk of her perspiration mingled with the more exciting female scent of her dripping vulva. It gave him renewed interest in his slave. He reached up and pulled at her buttocks, forcing the parted slit of her cunt down to his lips.
He licked and tongued her, tasting the heated wetness of her passion, and decided that its bitchy odor and flavor was exciting. He sucked at the flowing slipperiness of her canyon until she gave great moans of pleasure, then he bit the tenderness of her engorged cuntlips, making her cry out for relief from the ecstatic pain.
Then he felt her mouth on his thigh, and he could feel the wet tonguing and nibbling as she worked her way around to his balls. When she sucked at the wrinkled skin of his sac, he groaned with the swelling engorgement of his rising cock.
As the stiff flesh rose under her laboring mouth, she licked up its heated length, then seized the throbbing head in her lips and began to tongue and suck at it in a frenzy.
When he could sense his control slipping from him, he shoved her rudely away, then crawled to his hands and knees and mounted her as if she were a four-legged beast. She was whimpering and panting with her need, and as he slipped his fingers between her widespread thighs, he could feel the slimy flow of her passion trickling down over the creamy flesh.
He poised his cock at her portals, then shoved it hard into her open cunt. She squealed and grunted with the sudden fullness which swelled her passage, then began to work her hips in an effort to swallow the welcome flesh. Her struggles and his lusty thrusts soon had him inside her as far as he could go. His balls were slapping wetly against her belly with each plunge.
She made noisy, extremely vocal panting sounds as she sensed the urgency of a coming orgasm. He interpreted her oral soundtrack with expert awareness, and fucked harder to plunge his cock deep into her sloppy, pulsing cunt.
When the throes of passion seized her, he could feel the clutching grabs of the wrinkled tissues within her passage. They sucked and milked at his stiffness until he knew he was going to lose his grip any second.
He reached under her and grabbed a breast in each hand, massaging and kneading the large-nippled mounds in tempo with the beat of his pounding hips.
As the wail of her completion filled the room, he burst loose the dam of his own restraint and pressed to sink his pulsing cock deeply into the hot wetness of her spasming body.
She gasped with the hugeness of his blood-swollen prick as it filled her depths, then swelled in rhythmic pulses as his seed began to spurt heavily within her. It filled her few remaining crevices and then overflowed around the snug cork of his shaft and ran down her thighs.
His weight fell on her as the sudden loss of so much fluid made him weak and shaky. Then he slipped on her and lay on the floor. His hand reached out and grabbed her by the neck, then pulled her head toward him until she moved to follow his guidance.
She knew what he wanted, and her lips and tongue were soon working to clean him thoroughly. She licked at the hairy skin of his belly and loins, removing the moisture of their combined sweat and the musky juices of her own cunt. She lingered longer at the spots where his sticky white semen had back-flowed and matted the hair.
By the time she had cleansed his inner thighs and the wrinkled luggage of his balls, he had started to stiffen again. She washed the hardening shaft thoroughly, ending at the purplish tip with a series of circular lickings and alternate suckings.
He rumpled the long blonde hair with his fingers, then pulled her head closer as he fed her more of his meaty prick. She let it go in until it pressed at the back of her throat, relaxing expertly to keep from gagging as it filled her brutally.
Then she swallowed, making her epiglottis and soft palate massage the head of his cock. He groaned at the sensation, and she began to move her head up and down in long strokes, her lips and teeth teasing the sides of his thickened shaft. At the end of each upward stroke, she paused to suck deeply, then wiggle the tip of her pink tongue in the tight opening there.
In only a few minutes her efforts were rewarded. He felt the tingling surge as his seed gathered in his lows. He held her head as he fucked up into her mouth cruelly, burying his meat until his balls pressed around her lips.
Then his hot fluid was squirting in her throat. She let the pounding splashes accumulate for a bit, then swallowed some, again making that massaging action on the sensitive head. It seemed to draw out all his reserves, and he spurted until a dull ache spread through his belly and loins.
She let him withdraw from the warm moistness of her mouth, then licked and sucked at the dangling threads of sticky fluid that led from her lips to the softening shaft. She sucked the last pearly drop from the tender opening, making him groan louder than before.
The two of them lay limply on the rug until they gathered their reserves. Then Paul told her to dress, and put his own costume on while she fought her way into the tight suede jumper.
It was comparatively quiet in the large salon when they entered it. Couples and larger groups were clustered in several spots, but the only conversation was in tired, low tones. He led the way up on deck for some fresher, cooling air, and as they emerged just aft of the gangway, he saw a man crouched on his heels, leaning over a pile of something against the rail.
Light spilled out of the windows in the bridge above them, and Paul saw the face of his erstwhile challenger as the man looked up at the sounds of their approach. His face was sheet-white, and his eyes were frightened.
Then the face looked down, and Paul watched as the man reached into the pile before him. Paul could see now that it was a nude woman. From between her spread thighs, her attacker tugged something. It was his "thing" --- the whip with the oversize butt. He tossed it over the rail into the sea, then rose to his feet in a crouching position and ran across the deck to disappear in the shadows of the starboard superstructure.
Paul and his slave needed only one look to see that the girl was dead. Her sightless eyes had filled with the reflection of great pain before they ceased to function.
Paul flipped the trigger of his butane lighter, and in the pale glow of its flame they could see the pool of blood on the deck beneath her hips and thighs, and the torn flesh of her crotch where the massive leather phallus had been forced into her cunt. There were still marks where a hand had covered her mouth to silence her screams of agony.
And on one calf and ankle were other marks: Sticky white blobs of semen pumped over the struggling victim and deck as the perverted attacker blew his load with the enjoyment of the girl's brutal invasion by the murderous weapon.
Paul knew where to find his host, thanks to a previous party he had attended aboard the houseboat. He made the girl stay with the body while he went to report the tragedy.
An hour later, the police arrived. By then, all the guests were again dressed in proper evening wear, and the investigators found a very normal houseboat-party group reacting quite as might be expected after the brutal death in their midst.
Had the lawmen been able to see some of their marks of punishment which were hidden by clothing and cosmetics, a different sort of investigation would have been conducted. But the briefing of the guests by the cunning and determined host had been quite effective.
Questioning led to no clues whatsoever. The "couples" were all certain that they had never seen the victim before, and the host assured the police that she must have been about to crash the patty when her attacker followed her aboard, or else she was already being pursued along the dock and had not been quick enough to escape him.
Since Paul and his host had done a good job of tearing the clothes they brought from the dead girl's dressing room, and had scattered them around the deck near the body and burned her skimpy leather costume in the incinerator while the other guests were getting into gear for their official visitors, the theory seemed to be valid.
Although everyone was questioned and their identities recorded, the affair ended as another unsolved mystery on the police ledgers.
It wasn't too surprising that when Paul spotted the murderer at one of the hospitals in his territory, they had a lengthy private conversation. It was even less surprising that Dr. Stillwell was interested in joining Paul's foundation staff.
The isolated facility would not only allow him the sane freedom of research in his more legitimate efforts, but he was greedily eager to share the extracurricular activities that Paul promised him would be a regular part of the schedule.
The two girls Paul had kidnapped and transported in the hidden compartment of the slide-in service cabinets of the station wagon had been great for the fun and games shared by the doctor and his young partner. And there was more to come ...
CHAPTER 5
Paul parked with the front bumper almost touching the huge iron gates, then reached under the instrument panel and pressed a switch. When the short-range signal was received on the unit in the clinic offices, he knew, his vehicle would be studied on the television monitor which displayed the scene picked up by the hidden cameras behind the gateposts.
The gates opened inward, and he drove on up the wide asphalt driveway. In his rear-view mirror he could see the electrically operated gates close and latch behind him. Their twelve-foot height matched the level of the rugged fence which encircled the entire grounds.
He rounded a sharp curve, admiring the heavy growth of tall shrubs and trees which lined both sides of the drive. Then he stopped at the second gate which separated the central complex of the foundation from the outside world. This one, like the fence it formed a part of, was electrified.
It swung open to let him drive through, then closed behind him. Moments later he pulled into a huge garage that adjoined the main clinic building.
Stillwell came out of the swinging doors which separated the garage from the larger building. He met Paul at the rear of the vehicle with a comradely smile and upraised eyebrows. As Paul unlocked the lift-gate tail-gate latch, the doctor's scarcely concealed eagerness was put into words.
"Bring us another playmate, Paul?" he asked.
"Yes and no," was the confusing reply. "She's going to be my playmate, at least for a while. If I decide to keep her to myself longer than you can wait with only Betty and Heidi to amuse you, I'll help find you another new one."
"Like that, huh?" said the slightly disgruntled doctor. His expression revealed his disappointment, but he seemed to resign himself, shrugged, and set down the bag he had brought out with him.
"Yeah, like that, Jonas. At least, for now. We won't need to bring her out of it with the needle, though. I used the new oral stuff on her --- Boswell's Cyclopentenyl variant. Gave her one and a quarter grains. She ought to be coming to in another hour or so."
Paul had the rear wide open. Now, he grabbed a leather strap at the center of the wooden platform which rested on the interior "floor" formed by the collapsed seats, and pulled. The whole big section of cabinetry moved rearward for almost eighteen inches, and Paul reached under the edge, then pulled down sturdy legs with casters which rested on the garage floor.
He grabbed the leather loop again and the cabinetry wheeled out until he was able to open the ingeniously vented and padded compartment in the center. They looked down on the slightly flushed face of Palmyra Weston. Paul checked her pulse while Stillwell peeled back one of her eyelids and studied the pupil.
"That's good stuff, all right," said Stillwell. "I like it a lot better than the earlier versions. I hate to fuss around with Bemegride I.V.'s to balance the toxicity some of them seemed to get from the older forms."
"Yeah," replied Paul. "Especially since you might have to turn around and feed 'em pentothal to counteract the Bemegride."
"God, yes!" said Stillwell. "I remember a case where ..."
"Later, Jonas," Paul interrupted. "Let's get her inside and settled down before she starts to come out of it." Stillwell gave a grunt, then helped his partner lift the limp form out of the coffin-like compartment. They carried her in through the swinging doors, down a hallway past surgical-looking rooms, and to a large elevator at the center of the hall.
They put her down on a padded, sheeted cart which stood by the elevator, then wheeled it into the car, closed the door, and took their patient to the floor below.
The basement of the building was not quite like the other floors. It did not resemble a hospital in any manner. Anyone operating the elevator --- other than Paul Harshman or Jonas Stillwell --- would discover no control to move the elevator below the ground floor.
They wheeled Pal into a room where she was slid on the cart onto a hospital bed --- the only clinical item in the room. She was secured to the bed by safety straps, and a cord ending in a push-button switch was placed under her hand.
Then they left the room, closing the door behind them.
CHAPTER 6
Pal struggled for several minutes until she began to realize she was restrained by some kind of straps. She had a mild headache, a cramp in her left calf that was threatening to become a real problem, and the urgent pressure of a full bladder.
She was able to determine that she was on a hospital bed, but the room didn't look as if it belonged in a hospital. Could it be an emergency setup in some doctor's home? And why was she here? --- and how ...
She felt the cord under her fingers, recognized the standard feel of the push-button. She wished she had a dime for every trip she had made to answer the summons of such a device. She pressed it firmly, holding it down for several seconds before releasing it.
She couldn't see the door, so she didn't know when he came in, but suddenly a face hovered over hers. The man had a round, smooth face with a small goatee that seemed to have been recently grown as an experiment. It didn't look as if it belonged to the rest of the face. The mustache was okay. Both matched the salt-and-pepper of his short-cut hair.
"I'm Dr. Stillwell," he said. "How are you feeling?"
"Miserable! I'm getting a cramp in my left leg, and if I don't get up in a hurry I'm afraid I'm going to soak the sheet." She blushed pinkly at the embarrassing admission that she couldn't hold her water.
"We can take care of both problems in a few seconds," he said. He reached under the bed or beside it --- she couldn't tell which --- and came up with a bedpan, which he placed on the bed while he gave the operating cranks a few fast turns.
When she was in a sort of sitting position, he flung back the covers, and she realized she was completely nude. They hadn't even put a hospital gown on her. She felt the cool metal of the pan as it was shoved against her bare buttocks.
"Why can't I get up and go to the bathroom like a big girl?" she wanted to know. Then a thought hit her with a sudden chill. "That cramp in my leg --- is it ... do I have something ... was there an acci ..."
"No, no, nothing serious. But you aren't allowed out of bed as yet. And we want a specimen, anyhow. Paul tells me you're a nurse, so you can understand it's just as easy if we use the pan routine."
"Paul?" she tried to remember. But the cool pan and the relief it promised from the achingly full feeling made her decide to postpone any further questions. "Very well, Doctor. I won't be difficult." She waited for him to leave her in privacy so she could perform the very personal function, but he stood there, looking at her, and there was an unusual expression on his face.
"Doctor? Will you release my arms so I can handle this pan?"
"That won't be necessary," he told her. He slipped his hand under her buttocks, raised her with the ease of his muscular strength, and slid the pan under her. Then he stood there, eyes riveted on her exposed crotch. She couldn't even hide her genitals with her feet, because of the pan which protruded too far. It was getting more and more difficult to hold back the pressure every second.
"Aren't I allowed privacy for this, Doctor?" she asked.
"No, I'm afraid not. I have to watch," he said. She wondered what was supposed to be wrong with her, but then she noted the extreme fascination on his face, and the greedy gleam in his eyes. It hit her so quickly --- the obvious answer --- that she spoke before she thought to silence herself.
"Urolagnia!" The doctor flushed slightly, then smiled, but he didn't take his eyes off her crotch.
"That's right, my dear. I have a consuming desire to watch your little pisser at work. You do have an extremely exciting body, you know. Especially your pink little cunny with that golden fleece. I can hardly wait to see that warm little slit part so you can pee."
"Where am I? What kind of place is this?" Pal felt a deep, shuddering chill go over her. This man must be mad! And she was apparently completely at his mercy.
"Later, my lovely. Later. Let's take things as they come. And it's about time for that hot little stream to come, isn't it?" He stepped closer, slipped a hand in her crotch, and parted her slit with his fingers. She tried to back her hips away from his prying invasion, but the almost-vertical tilt of the upper bed section gave her no room to retreat.
Then she could hold back no longer. The nervous tension of the moment was the last straw. She felt her sphincter give way, and the warm stream poured from her in nervous spasms. It made metallic tinkling sounds in the pan, at first, then splashing noises like a filling lavatory. She gave up and let it flow in earnest.
Dr. Stillwell had his face down there, trying to see all the action he could, and there was a pleased expression on his face. When she had finished, making the tiny, squeezed-off squirts and the dribbling droplets that finalized the function for her, he slid the pan from under her and set it on the stand she could now just glimpse from the corner of her eye.
Then he moved to place his hands on her thighs, forcing them into a more abducted position. He buried his face in her crotch, and she could hear him making sniffing sounds, then felt the tickle of his tongue as he licked at her cunt-lips avidly. He moved to lap up the droplets that clung to her pinkly gleaming vulva, then gave her an extra series of lickings around the lips of her sensitive pussy.
He sucked greedily at the butterfly opening of her vagina, and she felt an odd excitement. In spite of her fear and the mixture of disgust and anger at his actions, she was beginning to feel a definite sexual arousal.
Then Paul Harshman was standing at the foot of the bed, a dark look on his face. His frown was directed at her, but he spoke to Stillwell.
"I'll take over, now, Doctor." The harsh tone was one Pal had not heard in previous conversations. This was a different Paul Harshman than she had known. Or was it? She recalled the strange look he wore as an observer in the surgery, and the gossip she had overheard Sick Jack promoting.
Was it Paul who was responsible for her being here? Was she in the hands of a bunch of mad-men? The old chill returned, chasing out the brief stirrings of sexual nature. Her eyes were delicate blue pools of fearful wonder as they gazed up Into the gray-steel orbs he was aiming at her.
Stillwell's mouth left her crotch, and she brought her knees together to conceal her vulnerable womanhood. Stillwell headed for the floor, speaking as he walked away.
"Sorry, Paul. Lost my head." Then he was gone from the room.
"Paul? What is this? What's going on here? Why are my arms tied? And what am I doing were? For that matter, where am I, anyway? Paul?"
She kept trying to make him say something yet she kept talking as if she feared to hear any answers he might give. But she fell silent as he moved around to sit beside her on the bed. He released the restraining straps, and she massaged her upper arms, then carefully smoothed the area below her breasts where the strap had held her immobile for so long.
"I'm afraid you're in for a bit of a shock, Pal," he said. His wryly apologetic smile might have swayed her a little, but she had not stopped looking at the cold grayness of his eyes.
"In the name of God! Get it said! Paul, can you possibly guess how frightened I am to wake up in a place like this and have no idea how I got here or why?"
"You're here because I brought you here. I brought you because I wanted you. You're going to be my playmate. If you cooperate, that is. If not, you'll be Dr. Stillwell's playmate. He isn't so particular about complete cooperation."
"Paul, for the love of God! What do you mean? You've actually kidnapped me? To make some kind of sexual toy of me?"
"That's about the size of it," he admitted. "Of course, when you cease to be enjoyable as a toy, there are other uses you can be put to. So I would sincerely advise that you just make up your mind to enjoy things as they happen, and make the most of it."
"What other uses are you talking about?"
"This is the very well-hidden basement of a building which serves as the central hub of the Harshman Research Foundation. Among other activities, we have a constant program of research which requires test animals. In the final testing stages of any seemingly successful product --- as you know --- human subjects are necessary. Due to the unusually advanced nature of some of these products, I would hate to see a lovely thing like you wasted in testing them. It's so difficult to tell what will happen to the human nervous system when exposed to the unknown factors of hallucinatory drugs, and even stimulants and sedatives of a less dramatic sort."
"You're mad!" she said in a loud whisper, realizing the implications of what he had said. "You're an absolute psychotic!"
"I don't think so," he said. And now his smile spread to his eyes. "I have less inhibitions concerning moral and social attitudes, perhaps, than the average citizen. But I think you'll find that I'm quite sane, legally."
"I just hope I have the chance to see you forced into proving that statement!" she said, horrified at his coolness.
"I didn't mean that I expect to be examined for sanity," he told her. "What I'm saying is that you will admit my legal sanity when I tell you that I am quite aware of the fact that most of the things I believe in are considered wrong, immoral, criminal, or otherwise undesirable, by the pseudo-puritans who run the 'establishment' or whatever you wish to call it.
"And I am not stupid enough to chance their judgment. So I leave nothing to chance when I prepare to enjoy my own specific beliefs and indulge myself in my own favorite enjoyments. There isn't a chance in the world for you to escape this place. So you really should make up your mind to accept things as they are and become a willing resident of this very private little world."
Pal's eyes hated him as she answered his attempt to propagandize her. She was angry at the unjust betrayal. She had been given no chance to realize what was happening to her, and she was determined to make things as tough for him as possible.
"Why me?" she asked. Her voice was an icy needle, but it didn't seem to affect him particularly.
"Because I wanted you. And when I want something, I find a way to get it, no matter how. That's one of the ways in which I don't agree with the accepted philosophies of our society."
"But why couldn't you just try to win me in the normal manner? Who knows? Maybe I would have come with you willingly, if you had given me the courtesy of a choice. Now, I wouldn't have anything to do with you if my life depended on it!"
Paul's laugh was a loud and frightening sound that filled the room. He laughed himself out, then sat there looking at her with amusement. It made her rise even closer to the boiling point to see his obvious entertainment with her statement.
"My dear Pal, it was out of the question. In the first place, I haven't time to fool around in one locale, playing the silly games you females require to lift a simple thing like sex to the ridiculous level of social conformity. And besides that, my particular brand of sexual enjoyment might not have met with your approval. Do you think I would waste time in a silly courtship when it might turn out that you were not agreeable to the rules I insist on using? Forget it! This is the way it's going to be."
"That remains to be seen," Pal insisted, thrusting her pert nose in the air and making her lovely chin look very determined.
"Yes, that's right," said Paul. "We'll see how it ends." He turned suddenly and left the room, and she heard the lock being secured behind him. She had forgotten her semi-cramped leg during all the fright and anger and humiliation, but now it started to make itself felt all over again.
She realized that she could get out of bed, now. So she swung her legs over the edge, and stepped onto the floor.
The electric current grabbed her and made her body writhe in pain. She was just able to make herself fall back onto the edge of the bed and collapse in a heap, sobbing loudly.
The door opened again, and Paul stuck his head inside.
"Forgot to tell you," he said. "Don't try to get out of bed without permission. The floor --- among other things around here --- is charged with a current to keep you under control at all times."
He withdrew his head, and the door closed. She heard the lock snap shut, and then she began to cry in earnest.
CHAPTER 7
They gave her just twenty hours to herself. Minus those short periods in which she was brought food, and the times they answered her summons to shut off the floor current and let her go to the toilet.
And minus the few naps she managed. It wasn't easy to sleep knowing how helpless she was, and the very real danger she was in --- to say nothing of the imagined dangers and punishments she was able to conjure up from a fearful and shocked subconscious mind. She woke from the few periods of sleep in a cold sweat, fighting off nightmares in which intangible things were performing invisible but nonetheless frightening acts which seemed to threaten her sanity.
When Paul finally led her from the room, she was eager to get out of it, no matter where she was headed.
He took her to the end of the hall and ushered her into a huge room which was a kind of gymnasium-looking place, but had wall-to-wall heavily padded carpeting instead of the usual wooden floor.
He had appeared so suddenly, and moved her so quickly from the hated cell she had come to dread, that she hadn't noticed until he closed the door of this big room behind them and stepped in front of her, that he was dressed in some kind of leather briefs and boots, and carried a coiled whip in one hand.
"Kneel!" he ordered her.
The abruptness of the command, and its surprising implications, so shocked her for a moment that she just stood there. By the time she had really registered what he had said and what he wanted, her mind began to search for a reason. Why did he want her to kneel?
The lash cracked with a loud, sharp sound as it fell on her naked back. She screamed a high, thin scream and fell to her knees in reaction, rather than in any deliberate attempt to obey.
"That's right!" he told her. "You have just learned what a tiny taste of the whip can be like. And every time you are not fast in obeying a command, you'll learn more!"
She was sobbing with the pain, and now he spoke another commend. Her ears could barely pick it up over the sound of her own choking cries. It slowed her reaction.
"Kiss my boots!" he had commanded. And while she tried to assess what the faint order had been that filtered through her sobbing, he applied another and fiercer lashing across her shoulders. It drew a shriek from her throat, blood from her skin, and an oath from Paul.
"Damnit, slut! When I speak, you move, and move quickly!
She knew she couldn't stand a lot of this, so she forced herself to bend down and place her lips on the toe of one of his boots. She would have to conserve her strength if she could find any hope of escape from this madhouse.
"Now, wench. Peel off my shorts!" She reached up and tried to get her shaking fingers behind the tight band of leather at his waist. Her shoulders were still shaking spasmodically, and it was hard to accomplish the task with her weakened hands. But she got a grip on the slightly flexible suede and managed to peel it down past his hips, then over his thighs, until it fell loosely down past his calves and lay around his boots at the ankles.
He placed a hand on her shoulder --- the one which was still faintly oozing a fine line of blood from the lashing and she winced but managed not to yell. He lifted one boot.
"Remove them!" he said.
She slipped the briefs from the boot, and he stood on it while lifting the other. She slipped the garment off over the second boot and held it in her hands, not knowing what he wanted her to do with it-afraid lest she do the wrong thing.
"Drop that and kiss my cock!" he ordered.
She dropped the limp leather bundle immediately, but it took too long for the meaning of his other command to sink in. The whip rose, but she moved rapidly to piece her lips on his softly dangling genitals. A faintly pungent male odor seemed to emanate from his crotch as her lips touched the flesh of his shaft. She identified another smell as the leather odor from the briefs, transferred by sweat to the skin they had covered.
"Take it in your hands and treat it like a baby," he said. "Kiss it nicely, and then you can lick it like a piece of candy."
She was more alert, now, determined not to earn another blow of the punishing lash. As long as pain and fear would make her comply with his orders eventually, she knew she would be wiser to obey with every bit of speed she could muster.
She grasped the elephant's trunk of his sex with a shaky hand and drew it to her lips. It shocked her to realize that a tiny thrill went over her at the contact.
She put out the pink tip of her tongue and touched it to the soft surface of the flesh, and its smoothness was astonishing. She moved her tongue over its entire length, noting the texture of it and the increasingly pleasant scent of his maleness, which started a strange trembling deep inside her.
Then it began to stiffen in her hands, and she could feel it pulse and enlarge under the sensitive detection of her lips and tongue. It made that deep inner trembling spread inside her.
"Suck it, baby," he moaned, dropping his whip and pulling her head toward him with both hands. She felt the hardening length flip upward and her mouth opened to take a hold on the end of it. As she did, it seemed to come apart, wondrously, and the skin which covered it slipped back to expose a swollen, purple turnip of a thing that pressed against her lips.
It gave her a weird momentary shock, and she drew back to look at it more closely. Before Paul could complain at her delay, she seized it again in her lips and ran them lightly over the silken surface of this warm, throbbing device.
As she drew her lips nearer the very tip, she felt a wetness as a drop of something seemed to ooze from it into her mouth. She let it roll around on her tongue, and a faint pollen flavor seemed to come from it.
Then Paul pulled her head to him and thrust the full length of the thing into her mouth. As it hit the back of her throat, she gagged, and he let up the pressure until she managed to swallow, counteracting her reflex action.
She placed her one hand tightly around the rigid shaft, right at the base where it met his hairy belly. This limited the length he could force into her mouth and throat.
Suddenly, he went down to the carpeting, pulling her over to avoid losing contact. While she continued to little at the mouthful of flesh, his hands found her breasts and began to tweak the nipples, which she discovered had been hard and pointy, as if awaiting his searching fingers.
He was groaning with the pleasure she brought him, and then her own strange-sounding voice --- muted by the fleshy cork which filled her mouth --- made little whimpering tones at the ecstatic feel of his massaging fingers.
The deep inner trembling and the wild breathlessness caused by the way he handled her breasts now combined into a spreading network of tiny, grasping hands that clawed their way over her body. She felt a wetness between her legs, and squeezed them together to stop whatever was happening. But the squeezing made that feeling increase, and a trickle ran down her thigh.
"Oh-h-h! Pal, baby! Take it! Suck it out of me!"
Paul's passionately moaned words added to her excitement, and she sucked eagerly at the throbbing fullness of his cock as it pulsed at the walls of her mouth. Then it was spewing out a hot, thick series of sticky blobs that clung to the back of her throat, and she almost choked. She swallowed so she could breathe, but the spurting seemed to go on forever.
It excited her more and more to feel the rich male broth squirt into her throat, and she began to suck between swallows, drawing at the source of this surprisingly exciting fluid. She could feel her cunt dripping juices down her legs as her own heated loins responded to the outburst of this maleness she held in her mouth.
Then he fell back away from her, leaving a trail of shiny sticky pearlescence across her lips, chin and breast as he collapsed on the carpeting. She followed him down, lapping at the fluid as if it were expensive, letting none of it go to waste.
When she seized his weakly throbbing cock in her lips and sucked at it to get the last pearly drop of his seed, he groaned in ecstatic pain and flailed out at her. His hand connected with her cheek and stung her smartly, sweeping her head aside and letting his exhausted and limply dangling prick escape from her greedy mouth.
It was only then that she discovered she had been plunging her fingers excitedly around in the slippery, slimy nest of her crotch. In fact, as she realized what she was doing, she felt the painful burning of rawness, due to the pressure she had been exerting on her own maidenhead.
She gasped as her final completion swept over her like a tidal wave, blanking out everything else, and leaving her gasping and groping for air, as though she were a fish tossed out of water.
When she began to regain her senses, she felt a deep shame at the way she had been made to perform an act which she wouldn't have dreamed of doing before that moment. And the way her own body responded to the shameful act had made her humiliation all the worse.
She started to crawl away, heading for the door.
Paul reached out and grabbed her by the ankle, pulling her to a sudden halt. She cried out and tugged to break loose from his grasp, but her strength was no match for his.
"Let me go, you beast!" she sobbed.
"Come back, wench!" he commanded. "You're my slave. You know that. I fucked my come into your mouth, and you went so wild over it you couldn't get enough. Come on back here and settle down before I have to get rough again!"
"You ... you're an animal! I never did anything like that before in my life! I'm a v-virgin. I hate you for what you made me do ... what you made me feel ... you turned me into an animal like yourself."
Paul chuckled as he pulled her by the leg, gradually getting her closer until he could wrap his arms around her hips to get a more secure grip on her wriggling body.
"You've got two problems, Pal baby. One mental and one physical. We'll take care of both of them before they get to be a real drag." He rolled over and buried his face in her crotch, making his tongue trail through the slippery wetness of her blonde-feathered slit.
She moaned as he lip-nibbled along the swollen thickness of her outer cuntlips, then bit at them here and there with his teeth, making a shudder tear through her whole body.
"Don't! I can't stand that!" she cried. But he forced his tongue into the dripping cleft of her sex and probed deeply at the virginal tissue which stretched snugly across her entrance. It made her shriek with a quick reaction to the sharp pain as he plundered her tender untouched flesh.
Then he sucked at the flowing steam of lubricant that poured out of her excited cunt. It brought little yelps of reluctant pleasure from her, and in moments she was shuddering to a wild and belly-shaking orgasm.
He let her up, and grinned at her. She looked at him in horror as she realized the control he had established over her.
"You haven't even started to learn the facts of life as it's practiced at Harshman Research," he said.
CHAPTER 8
Paul gave his captive two days of rest, then repeated his performance and made her repeat her performance, for a two-hour period in the "gym" at the end of the hall.
He gave her two more days of rest before the next episode. He had plenty of administrative work to occupy his time, so he had little cause to grow impatient during those forty-eight hours of abstinence. But it was a different story with Pal.
Two days and nights move slowly when the deadly loneliness of a locked room is the entirety of your world. Pal grew restless and nervous long before Paul came for her. She almost welcomed the breaking of the monotony, even though it meant more degradation and humiliation --- more performances that she would lie and regret and hate herself for when she was locked again in the lonely room for another two days.
As Paul saw her weakness --- her absolute phobia about being alone for extended periods --- he played upon it for all it was worth. So on the second and third sessions in the "gym" she was almost too cooperative to be interesting.
But Paul changed that on Tuesday of the second week.
He had already decided to save her maidenhead for a very special and lengthy session. Now, he wanted to humiliate her spirit more than anything else. He found the ideal way to do it.
When he took her for her fourth walk down the hall to the carpeted exercise room, she was startled to see that another girl was there, standing along the wall at the far side of the room.
"Front and center, Betty!" Paul commanded, and the brunette moved quickly to stand before him. Her head was bowed, and she stood in perfect silence, a study in dark hair and deeply tanned skin, nude and submissive.
Betty was a pretty girl, Pal noticed, but she bore the marks of Paul's lash on her arms and legs, and on her shoulders and back. She must have held out longer against her master's commands, Pal decided, hating herself for her weakness and hating Betty for her superior strength.
Then she learned that she had judged the situation incorrectly.
"Betty is Dr. Stillwell's playmate. He gets pretty rough on her, as you can see. But then he likes to punish her whether she obeys or not. I'm easier to get along with. Now, Pal, you can take it easy for a while and watch Betty perform."
He held his arms out from the shoulders. The right one dipped slightly with the weight of his whip.
"Peel!" he commanded.
Betty slipped her fingers under his leather waistband and shucked the briefs down to his ankles in a flash. He rested the whiphand on her shoulders, letting the cool leather lash lie across her back as she slipped his garment first off one boot, then the other.
"Get it!" Paul rasped, and Betty dropped the briefs on the rug, knelt at his feet, and sucked his limp cock into her mouth, all in less than a fraction of a second.
"Good girl!" he said, breathing heavily as the trim little brunette worked expertly to stiffen his fleshy rod. She accomplished that in a few seconds, then continued to lick at the rigid shaft and caress his balls with her fingernails, making him hum a panting tune of rising passion.
He forced himself to take his mind off the stirring treatment long enough to yell at Pal, startling her enough to make her jump.
"All right, Pal! Now crawl up behind me and lick my ass!" She was frozen into stone by this order, but he made her come alive by flipping his whip over his shoulder. It found her back and the nape of her neck as if by radar control, wringing a sharp cry from her.
She moved up and knelt behind him, then gingerly licked out at the side of one buttock with a hesitant tongue.
The lash dropped on her again, from over his shoulder. This time it caught her across the cheek, and her yelp told him that he had been on target.
"Not on the right side; not on the left side. Right in between, Pal baby." His voice was as hard as the gray steel of his eyes could be. She parted his lean cheeks with her fingers and reluctantly inserted the tip of her tongue.
"Deep! Shove that tickler in there and find out where the flavor is!" he commanded. She shuddered, but shoved her tongue into the crack of his ass until she located the central point where his muscular anus formed a tight rosebud of flesh.
"Now, dig it in there!" he ordered. "Make me feel it working!"
She forced her tongue into the tight ring of muscle, then felt his tension disappear. Her tongue slipped in and was seized by the closure as he made the muscular gate wink shut.
"Lick it, baby!" he yelled. And as she worked her tongue in and out and around the fleshy annular, she felt it start to flutter and wink at a rapid rate. His groans and gaspings filled her ears, and she knew he was voiding his seed in Betty's mouth. It made her own mouth water, and she found herself licking and sucking at his fast-winking asshole in a frenzy, hungry to taste what she could of him, wanting his semen in her mouth, hut taking what she could get from his lean, taut body as it pulsed against her lips and tongue.
Then he slipped to the rug, and Pal and Betty stayed on their knees, waiting for some signal to be sure that they could rest without upsetting him.
He remained quiet for what seemed like ages, then took a deep breath and let it out in a sigh.
"Come put some starch in this thing, Pal," he said.
She crawled over and seized it in her mouth, tasting the worry, pollen flavor of his semen, still coating the slick head. She worked at it steadily for several seconds, until she began to worry that he had clued the impossible.
Then she felt his fingers toying in the wet slipperiness of her slit, arid the contact seemed to furnish him the added inspiration he needed. His cock erected in her mouth, and she stroked it in and out, making it hit her in the back of the throat, then slip almost out of the grasp of her lips.
He pulled it away from her suddenly, and rolled to his hands and knees.
"On your back, Betty; feet in the air!" he yelled, and the brunette hurried to fling herself under him just in time to meet the falling weight of his body. His hard shaft hit her in the crotch, and in a split-second she had it swallowed deep inside her curb.
He began to plunge into her, burying his meat in her vagina until his balls slapped loudly at her buttocks.
He pounded at the perspiring Betty until his own sweat mingled with hers, and they both were panting with the need for completion.
"Pal!" he yelled. "Get over here and move that pussy of yours up where I can smell and taste it. I need an extra shove to bust me loose!" She maneuvered around, trying to make herself available to him, eager with the dripping hunger that permeated her cant. But she couldn't hoist it into his range because of Betty's head, which seemed to be right where she wanted to park for him.
Paul grabbed her and positioned her with one leg actually lying on Betty's face, and her buttocks spread until she could feel Betty's shoulder pressing against the tightness of her anus. Her other leg was thrown over Paul's shoulder
He buried his face in her cunt, sniffling and licking and sucking at her slit until she thought she would lose her mind with the extreme pleasure that coursed through her body.
Then he began to groan as he ate at her meat, and she could feel the shuddering impact of his body blows as he fucked Betty's cunt. The shock transmitted through Betty's body seemed wickedly amplified as it made Betty's face jar into Pal's thigh.
Then Paul was coming heavily, shooting his load into the brunette's cunt, and biting at Pal's vulva as the ecstasy of his strained release tore through him. The biting hurt like hell, and Pal cried out for him to stop, but he bit her cuntlips and sucked between bites until he was completely spent.
Then he pulled out of the slushy slit, and his limp shaft drooped as he fell over backward on the rug.
"Clean me off, Pal!" he commanded. She drew her breath in with a shocked hiss, thinking of the juices from Betty's pussy that were still clinging to him.
She hesitated too long, and Paul reached up and grabbed one of her distended nipples between his thumb and forefinger. He used his nails when he squeezed, and her scream could have shattered a closetful of china.
"Now!" he rasped.
Pal hastened to lean over him, and between sobs, she managed to lick and suck up all the liquids that covered his hairy loins and cock, and the wrinkled sac that drooped below.
The strange scent and flavor of Betty's sex was intermingled with the maleness of Paul's polIen-like fluid, and for a brief moment, Pal thought she might get sick thinking about it. But the longer she worked, the less it bugged her, until she finally could find no more flavor to vacuum up with her searching lips, or lick at with her questing tongue.
"Now clean Betty!" said Paul.
Pal shuddered as she shifted her position to poise her mouth over Betty's black-haired slit. She almost earned new punishment as she hovered overlong above the messy flesh of the brunette's crotch.
But there was a potent scent of Paul's seed which drew her to it before she could think too much about the other. When she had begun to lap up the sticky stuff from the wiry hair and the pinkly gleaming meat that ran through its center, she became fascinated with the tender texture of Betty's vulva. Soon she was licking and nibbling and sucking in earnest, and her excitement was building so fast that she could feel the fluids of her own passion running heavily down her thighs to lay in the folds of flesh behind her knees.
Betty was whimpering with delight at the tender caresses Pal was bestowing on her, and when the swiftly traveling tongue made a plunge into the well-fucked mouth of her vagina, the brunette gave a shrill cry of joy. It moved Pal to suck with all her might at the slippery opening of the deep passage. She sucked up a stringy mouthful of Paul's deposit, and then cleaned and cleaned at the scene of the discovery until nothing more could be found.
Betty and Pal both collapsed and lay there, while Paul sat up and chuckled at the perverted performance he had promoted.
When Pal could shake her mind loose from the red cloud of her passion, which had almost consumed her, it seemed, and she could force her mind to rise above the depths of her fatigue, she began to feel so ashamed and degraded that she just knew she was going to get deathly sick.
And then she passed out cold.
CHAPTER 9
Pal was lying across her bed, miserable and full of loathing for herself and for Paul Harshman.
He had used pain to tear down barriers that she thought should never have been disturbed. She hadn't even known that they existed, much less suspected the animal lust which had lurked behind them. By forcing down these barriers, he had revealed to her the slut that she really was in her subconscious mind. Or so it seemed to her now, as she lay there.
There was nothing to do but think. Paul wanted no books or other diversions to relieve the monotonous boredom of her solitary confinement. And when she had nothing but her own thoughts, she kept coming back to the same ones, over and over. And by constantly dwelling on her humiliation, her degraded actions with Paul --- and now, even with Betty --- she could feel only shame for what she had become. She wished that he had killed her. Then it would be over.
As she lay there, belly down on the wrinkled sheets, her eyes followed the unusual pattern on the floor. She could see the small metal studs in the flooring, and knew that these somehow conducted the current which made her a prisoner on the bed, denying her even the freedom to move about this small room.
She knew it was a deliberate psychological pressure. By confining her to the small world of the bed except when she ate or bathed or answered the call of nature, she was kept in an unending state of boredom. Thus it was easier to force her across the fallen barriers into the only world where there was relief from boredom.
She damned herself for her weakness, and the tears rolled from her eyes onto the sheet as she tried to think of a method she could use to strengthen her resistance. If she could just hypnotize herself into fighting Paul's authority, maybe get him angle enough, he might beat her to death, and her worries would be all behind her.
But even as she thought of it, she knew she couldn't do it. It would take more guts than she had. Fear and pain, and then the knowledge of her shameful bitch-in-heat passion and its betrayal of the Pal she had thought she knew all these years all combined to tear the guts out of her, leaving her almost a puppet for Paul's effortless control.
She sat up with a determined motion. It was suddenly very important to concentrate on thinking up a method of escape. She had just remembered that --- with all the other degradations and humiliations --- she yet had her virginity. But Paul might put an end to that at any time.
She ran her hands over her body. It was still silky smooth and unblemished, despite the tweaks and bites of her captor, and the hot agonizing strokes of his lash. She felt her left nipple gingerly. It was still extra-sensitive from the punishment Paul's fingers and nails had exerted on it.
She moved her hand up and ran her fingers lightly over the less tender area of her shoulder. She could still detect the fine line of the healing lash-cut, but she was sure it would not leave a scar.
When she realized that she was concerned over her appearance, it gave her a small lift. She must be hanging on to some shreds of hope if she could care about how she might look in the future.
She wondered if that tiny hope remained because she still had her maidenhood. Orphaned early in life, she had been through many unhappy experiences. It had seemed as if every time she had something she treasured, it was taken from her. First her parents; then the pet terrier that they wouldn't permit her to take into the orphanage. Then Sue Ann, the only playmate she cared about, was adopted, and she was more alone than ever.
With Sue Ann gone, she kept to herself for months. When the new boy, Terence Patrick Monahan, turned out to be a loner, too, they began to notice each other and gradually came to be close friends. It helped her a lot at a time when she felt she had nothing left.
When the twelve-year-old Terry had been made responsible for the greenhouse at the orphanage, due to his precocious knowledge and talent with growing things, Pal had sneaked into the glass palace to keep him company on many occasions, risking severe punishment to share a few minutes with her only friend.
On her twelfth birthday, when she sneaked in for one of their chats, he had been despondent because he was unable to give her a gift. When his bitter tears welled up, and she instinctively embraced him, they had discovered some new emotions and sensations. Before they knew quite what was going on, or why, Terry was planting warm, wet kisses on her mouth, her cheeks, her neck, her bare shoulders and, by pulling at the straps of her sunsuit --- a garment which was less than adequate for her early-budding ripeness the soft-hard swellings of her breasts.
They were equally surprised when the central pinkness of one maiden mound blossomed forth to raise a spongy erection under Terry's lips. But he wasn't too surprised to seize it and kiss and suck its tender springiness until it made a freight train roar down her body and jam itself in the tight tunnel of her crotch.
Frightened, she had pulled her breast away from him, and he had looked so eagerly into her eyes, still wanting to show his affection in some very demonstrative manner, that she was sorry she had withdrawn from his kisses. But the shock of the strange emotions in her changing young body had been a fearful thing, and she was reluctant to let it go on.
But when Terry made his next attempt to please her, she gave in without hesitation.
"Oh, Pal!" he said, somehow aware in his youthful wisdom of her fears. "I won't do anything to you that's not right. I only want to show you somehow that you're ... that ... I mean I want to do something to show how I feel about you."
The precocity of his honest mind and the purity of his intent led him to an unbelievably brilliant, though dangerous, move. But the genuine love that gave his speech sincerity was also great enough to see him through the crisis it created.
"I wouldn't want to do anything to spoil your future, Pal. And anyway, I don't think it's right to ... you know ... to do what you do when you're married ... unless you are married. But I so want to show you how I worship you, Pal ... please let me do what I can, and I promise you I won't get you into any trouble."
She could only sit there on the smooth pebbles of the path that ran down the aisle of the greenhouse, and look at him with her china-blue eyes opened wide, then close them, and wet her lips as he leaned closer to her.
When his kiss was too long in reaching her lips or breast, she started to open her eyes again. At that moment, she felt his lips on her knee, and he kissed her with wet warmth all over the knees, the thighs, and the little patch of belly that gleamed through the clever latticework of her sunsuit.
Then he returned to her thighs, and those lean but rounded pillars of girl-flesh, excitingly substantial, but not large enough to fill the leg-opening of the hand-me-down garment, became covered with his kissings, lickings and suckings.
His tongue slipped under the hem at the crotch, and she felt the hot searching of his adoring tongue creep along the newly appeared silken feathers which covered her creamy private mound. When the warm tip traveled the full length of her tight slit, she had unaccountably spread her legs and accepted his tribute with a rising hot passion that began to consume her.
When she felt the juices flowing from her, she thought it was Terry's saliva, and blessed it as an anointment of his eager adoration. Her hips moved of themselves, bringing her swollen mound of sex up to meet his hungry mouth. Her slit was now parted by Terry's fingers, which had slipped up to hold aside the interfering fabric, then remained to open her virgin blossom for his tribute.
A high-voltage orgasm tore through her --- her very first. It frightened her for a split-second, but the feeling was so ecstatically voluptuous that she abandoned herself to whatever might follow.
Then she realized that Terry was sucking at her passage, and he stopped briefly, lifting his mouth clear long enough to whisper something that started her on her next climb to the clouds.
"Pal, you dear! I just wanted to make you feel worshipped, but that sweetness pouring out of you ... it's a gift from your dear body just for me! Thank you, Pal ... I love you so much!" Then he was back at her tender pussy, eating and drinking at her virginal cunt until she again was completed --- this time with even greater force.
Terry withdrew from her and sat in the gravel, gasping for air. Pal forced herself to sit up and face him. She was surprised to find that she felt no embarrassment. Terry's green eyes looked his adoration at her, and he wore a wishful smile, as if begging her to tell him that she had fully appreciated his worship.
"Oh, Terry! You do love me very much. And I love you, too!" She embraced him, hugging him so tightly that the metal button on one of his overall straps made a fierce ache in her tender breast. "Terry, my darling! Can we hope to get married some day --- when we get away from here?"
She felt the tears on her cheek for several seconds before she realized they were Terry's. She drew back and watched as more of them welled up and ran down his face. And he told her that he had been adopted. That they were coming for him the next day.
"Oh, Terry! I can't lose you, now!" she wailed softly. Then she moved as if someone else was controlling her actions. To her amazement, she found that she was pulling his straps down over his shoulders, sliding the overalls down over his hips, then entering his undergarment opening with searching fingers.
When her head plunged to his lap, she had the rigid young shaft of his manhood awaiting her lips. She kissed it while the tears from her own eyes bathed his clothing.
There was no deliberation or awareness as she took the warm flesh into her mouth and worked at it hungrily. There was only the sudden surprise as what she thought to be a rather large and dear thing became pulsingly larger, and then a surging, splashing flow of hot fluid was filling her mouth.
It was Terry's gift to her, and she swallowed it gratefully, until this hurtful maiden flow of the boy made him too tender for her to continue.
"That was ... your birth ... day gift to ... me, Terry," she panted. And as he watched her lick the solitary thread of white stickiness from her lips, his heart filled to overflowing.
He embraced her firmly, and then kissed her with fierce tenderness.
"I'll find you again, Pal," he promised. "No matter where they take me or where you go, I'll find you."
"Yes, Terry," she agreed, sobbing. "And I'll stay a virgin until you come for me. I belong to you now, Terry, and you belong to me."
Their childhood affection and faith were strong medicines. Pal needed something strong to help her get through the days and months and years after Terry left.
And it must have been that promise that made her stubbornly remain a virgin all these years. She still hoped that Terry would find her, and ...
"Oh, my God! I'm not fit for Terry now! After the things I've done. How could he forgive me?"
She cried herself to sleep.
CHAPTER 10
When Paul took her down the hall for the fifth bout of sexual gymnastics, Pal tried to harden herself against the activities she knew must soon take place. If she could only hang on to the hope of escape --- keep a small portion of her sanity and her desire to live in a back corner of her mind --- then when an opportunity presented itself, she might be able to get away.
She didn't know if she could ever cleanse her mind and body of the degrading effects, but if there was a small chance, she was going to fight for it. She kept remembering the depths of Terry Monahan's love for her. He was now fresh in her mind as he hadn't been for quite a long time.
With a love like that, even though she had been forced into the unspeakable things she had done, there might be forgiveness. And if there was forgiveness if Terry found her, or if she ever could find Terry and confess, then obtain his forgiveness-certainly there was hope for a happier future.
"Inside, wench!" said Paul, as he shoved her ripe body through the doorway to the hateful room. She stumbled on the thick carpet and had to run for a few steps to stay on her feet.
Paul was feeling overly confident today, Pal observed. He was not wearing his leather costume or carrying his whip. Like her, he was bare from neck to toes.
When the door closed behind them, Paul put his foot out and then shoved Pal, so that she tumbled to the carpet on her buttocks. He went down on his hands and knees beside her, and started to play with her breasts.
The creamy fullnesses were ripely rounded and proudly lifted by her healthy muscles. When he toyed with the pink centers of the juicily full mounds, her nipples erected almost immediately. There was nothing she could do about this automatic reaction, so she let him twiddle the fruity sponges with his fingers, then suck at their soft succulence while vibrating their tipmost surfaces with his unbelievably rapid tongue action.
The invisible nerve cables that tied her ripe, virginal mammary glands to the network of nerves around her female genital organs came alive with a startling tug. The excitement generated at her nipples was transferred to her loins as swiftly as the running flame of a brush fire.
Paul's expert sucking at her breast began to wrest fluttering moans from her. He continued for a long time, switching from one swelled mouthful of sweet, juicy girl-flesh to the other. Pal knew her lower glands were functioning like never before. The wetness she felt on her thighs and the tight, hot fullness in her lower belly and vagina announced her automatic readiness for the attentions of a male animal.
"Bitch!" she thought to herself. "You're nothing but a bitch in heat!" But even as she fought the sensations and hated herself for the way they took over her body against her will, she was enjoying the irresistible surges of passion that flooded her being.
When Paul left her breasts and moved to part her thighs, she spread them for him in reflex, already anticipating the welcome attentions of his hungry mouth. She could feel her fountain flowing steadily, and knew the depths of her lust as she awaited impatiently for him to drink and suck from her heated cunt.
But she waited in vain.
When the head of his hardened cock pressed at her virginal opening, it took a second for her to realize what he intended. By then it was too late. He thrust into her with brutal force, tearing asunder the delicate fleshy tissue of her girlish defenses.
"No-o-o-ogh-gh-gh!" she screamed, choking as his meaty shaft stretched her to a terrible fullness that seemed to pressure the very innermost organs of her belly and caused the acids of her stomach to rise in her throat.
"You monster! You filth!" she screamed at him, barely able to spare the breath for her angry outbursts because of the pain within. "You tore it! You tore it! You broke my cherry, you beast!"
She struggled beneath him, trying to buck him off her body like an unwary contestant. But he weighed heavily on her, and his hands grasped her wrists before she could bring her nails into play on his face, as she made the valiant attempt.
"Too late, Pal baby," he told her, trying to calm her down. "A virgin you're not! Might as well make the most of it, and enjoy the benefits. You can't put that cherry back after it's picked!"
He worked his cock in and out of her agonized opening, making the raw wound burn like liquid fire. The tension of her struggles tightened her vaginal muscles, adding to the feeling of fullness as his rigid shaft expanded her normally narrow passage.
She might have derived a momentary enjoyment from one bit of knowledge that was denied her. Paul's cock was taking a terrible punishment. Her maidenly snugness would have been enough to hurt his tender glans, just by the friction on his tissues and the extreme tension on the tiny bit of flesh that connected the lower foreskin as he thrust into the tightness of her unplumbed depths.
With her muscular contractions added to his obstacles, he was in as much agony as she was, but he was determined to see it to the bitter end. He knew that she had to relax her struggles some time, and then it would ease up. So he gritted his teeth and poured it into her, fucking into the bleeding, slippery wound of her torn pussy with a vengeance.
As he knew it would, the moment came when she had to relax the tightly contracted muscles. As she collapsed a little, gasping for air, he felt the passage open for him, and he pushed into her until his balls were almost dragged in after the shaft of his cock.
It was a weak moment for her. She was still catching her breath, and the nerves of her erogenous tissues started to get their messages through to her brain. By the time she had readied herself to renew the fight, the excited erection of her frictioned clitoris and the titillated surface of the mouth of her womb had managed to tell her subconscious mind what a ball they were having.
She just lay there, halfway between completely limp relaxation and the beginning of another struggle. But her hips began to move up to meet his thrusts, and this added motion increased the direct contact between his hard-working cock and her most sensitive areas.
"Oh-h-h! God!" she moaned, unable to decide whether she could resist anymore or not. Then the sensations began to build too much for her to fight. "Yes-s-s! Rape me! Oh, fuck it into me! More! Harder! Tear me apart!"
His cock was too sore to be physically stimulated by the action he was providing and Pal was augmenting. But her lusty cry of hot sexual demand triggered his lagging interest. He began to be able to feel with the head of his cock for the first time since he had shoved it past her virginal slit.
With each plunge, he could feel the hot, wet, slippery wrinkles of her vaginal walls open before him like an inhaling accordion bellows. As he dragged it out again, the same clutching wrinkles closed wetly against the end of his sensitive prick, massaging it with excruciatingly voluptuous results.
"Harder! Faster! I'm com-m-m-ming-ng-ng!" cried Pal, wrapping her legs around his back in a death grip.
Paul felt her shudder heavily beneath him, and as she pushed to envelop him in her depths at her moment of greatest sensation, he felt a wet-lipped animal nibbling rapidly atop the head of his cock.
It was like a huge cork being pulled out of him. His entire being was drawn downward, and he could feel the blood leave his brain in a rush, making him light headed.
Then his balls were bursting at the seams, and his hot fluid pumped heavily, relentlessly into her hungry depths, making her moan with the added fullness and the delightful feel of his spurting hot semen as it splashed forcefully against flesh which had never before been touched.
A red mist seemed to close around Paul's eyes for a moment, then he managed to roll off Pal's sweat-slippery body. When he was ambitious enough to look, he rolled his head toward her and discovered that she had moved about some in her final collapse.
He almost had his nose against her thigh, and when he raised his head, he was looking directly into her ravaged cunt. The wild picture it presented was fantastic. Her inner thighs and lower belly were covered with bloody streaks. Droplets of perspiration glistened all over her body like raindrops on a golden blossom.
In the blonde forest of her loins, blood and semen were mixed into a pinkish froth from the heated pistoning action of their organs. Separate streaks of white, sticky cum appeared here and there, as did an occasional bright red rivulet of her maidenhead blood.
From the lower extremity of her stretched and swollen cuntlips, a small, sluggish stream was starting to emerge. The crazy thought ran through Paul's mind that it was almost like that striped toothpaste, except that this was too thin and creamy. But the white and red of his come and her blood continued to seep out as he watched.
Pal groaned as if coming out of a coma, and one thigh moved slightly, making her slit wink almost shut momentarily, and as it reopened, a blob of heavy white cum popped out and ran down her perineal seam into the crack of her ass. It was followed by a quickly running but thin trickle of blood.
Then nothing else came out of her. Paul's eyes, wide with the wonder of this fascinating scene, finally moved to look at the heaving belly and breasts, which were now returning slowly to a more normal breathing pace.
He got to his feet and stood over her, and just then her eyes opened, gazing fixedly on his crotch. She seemed so hypnotized by what she saw that he had to look down at himself.
He looked as though someone had slaughtered a chicken over him while he lay sleeping. Blood was matted in his pubic hair and streaked across his belly and thighs. The head of his limp cock was still swollen, and its usual purplish hue was replaced by a flaming orange-violet that gleamed wetly up at him.
"Do I look that messy?" she was finally able to ask.
"At least," he replied. "You look like the victim of a fifteen-dollar abortion."
That brought her to her feet in a hurry.
"I don't want even a fifteen-hundred-dollar abortion!" she said. "Let me get myself cleaned up, will you?"
She had a haunted look on her face that Paul could not catalog at all. He wasn't anxious for her to get worked up into hysteria, so he shrugged and started for the door.
"Come on," he said. "I'll take you to the thing."
She followed him like a robot, two paces behind him and with that haunted expression fixed on her face.
CHAPTER 11
The floor current was switched off so Pal could make repeated trips to the lavatory in her tiny room. She kept applying cool compresses to her torn pussy, from a supply of gauze pads Paul had brought her.
After a couple of hours, the bleeding stopped. She felt somewhat weak, but didn't know how much was from pure exhaustion and how much from the shock her system endured when she was so brutally raped and torn. She knew she couldn't have lost enough blood to matter.
When she knew she had the bleeding under control, she lay on the bed and tried to relax, hoping that the smarting, burning sensation would cease, also.
She fell asleep for a while, and when she awoke she had the sensation of a very full bladder. She was about to ring for relief, then remembered that the floor current was off. She slipped off the bed and went to the toilet.
Unfortunately, she had not remembered torn flesh that lay just behind the curtain of her inner cuntlips. The final dribbling flow of her urine ran into the tender area and started it smarting all over again. She jumped up to the lavatory and applied one of the cooling wet pads until the misery let up a little.
When she felt relieved, she started back to the bed, then decided to take advantage of her small freedom, not knowing how long it might last. She headed for the window near the top of the wall, then saw that there was no way she could reach it.
After a moment of study, she pulled the hospital bed across the floor until it was below the window, then climbed up on it and prepared to see what the outside world looked like around her prison.
When her eyes leveled with the pane of glass in the small window, she groaned in disappointment. Behind the glass was another glass, opalescent and milky-white. The brighter portions of it, she saw, were due to the fact that a pair of fluorescent tubes provided the illumination she had taken for granted as sunlight. They must have a manner of dimming them.
But she recalled that someone had told her fluorescents could not be dimmed electrically. If the current dropped, they would either flicker or just go out.
But while she watched, she saw the blades of a shutter-like device close slightly, decreasing by a small amount the light which penetrated the milky rear glass.
With a bitter sigh, she got down, moved her bed back to its original position, and threw herself across it once more.
It was obvious that either she was being held below ground, or she was in a windowless modern structure of some kind. Either way, she was prevented from assessing the outside deterrents which might exist to prevent escape.
Another thought came to her. While she was able to look around without supervision, she should learn as much as she could about her room. With a jerking jump, she pounced out of bed and went to the door. She placed her hand carefully over the knob and turned it slowly --- so slowly that she almost had heart failure with the pressure of her impatience. But she didn't dare take any chance of being detected in her investigations, lest they become warned of her obsessive desire to escape. The less they suspected of her will to fight free of them, the better would be her chances.
When the knob had turned as far as would go, she tried to ease the door gently inward. It moved toward her as she pulled, and her heart seemed to skip a beat as she got the first thrill of hope since she was kidnapped.
But just as she widened the gap between door and frame to less than two inches, she heard someone coming down the hall, and she closed it quietly, letting the knob revolve slowly until it settled in place.
The current grabbed her with a jolt, and she shrieked as the reflex made her stiffen and jerk convulsively. But she forced herself to jump and hop across the room until she made it to the safety of the bed.
When she stopped panting, and the beat of her pounding pulse got back to a point somewhere near normal, she tried to assess what had happened. Her first reaction was to suspect that some switch in a central control area had been closed. But it seemed too much of a coincidence that the current had turned on just as she closed the door.
Thinking back, she believed that whenever Paul had entered her room, he had left the door open. Could it be that the shocking current was isolated from the floor contacts whenever the door was open? But why had it also been switched off while her door was closed, during this "freedom period" they had given her?
It was too much for her to figure out while she was still not quite recuperated from the prolonged shock she had received.
She closed her eyes, regrouping her strength, and then the door-latch clicked and Paul stuck his head inside the doorway.
"Get the bleeding stopped?" he asked, grinning at her. She thought fast, and decided to attempt a slight hoax.
"Almost, I think. Maybe a few more compresses, and it should stop." Unless he came further into the room, his view would not reveal to him that she had no compress between her legs.
"Well, don't move around too much, and it should clot pretty soon." He started to pull the door shut, and she saw --- from the corner of her slyly peeking eye the movement of his finger on the door frame just before he closed the door completely. Then it clicked, and she drew a deep, shaky breath.
So that was it! Some kind of switch in the door frame itself. Carefully, she tested the floor with her foot. There was no current!
She waited for a while, hoping that there would be a halt to any activity in the hall. Then she slipped across the floor and tried the knob again. When she had the door ajar for several seconds, and could hear nothing in the corridor, she opened it wider and saw the push-button in the frame. It had popped out when the door opened. In the outer edge of the door, a notch was cut to slip over the button at those times it was to be left out. Then, when the door was latched, she knew, the circuit would be completed.
She decided to take a look, and peered out into the hall. It was deserted, so she padded out and sneaked in the direction she knew would lead away from the exercise room.
She passed two doors like her own. She forced herself to place her ear to each door, but all she could hear at either one was the pounding of her own pulse. She wouldn't risk opening them.
Further the hall there was a large double-section door that had a familiar look about it. She had to study it a bit before she recognized it as an elevator door. Just as she started to continue her trip down he hall, she heard the whirring of the car in the shaft.
It was a difficult decision to make. If she raced back for her room and postponed her investigating trip until later, she might never get another chance, with the floor current on. On the other hand, if that was someone who might go into her room, they would discover her absence. And the corridor ahead was an unknown area in which she might be unable to find a hiding place.
When the motor stopped, she knew it was too ate to go back. As the clicking of the elevator door latch exploded on her ears, she made a mad dash for the closest door ahead, opened it, and jumped inside, closing the door behind her, sure it could be heard on the other side of the
Her breathing seemed so loud that she was door. She tried to hold her breath, but when she had to gulp in air, it sounded even louder. She stood there, doorknob still in her hand, shaking and gasping.
When the suspense was just too much for her, she took the deepest breath she could manage with fear clutching at her middle, and opened the door, peering out hastily into the hall. Again, it was deserted, but this time the elevator door was open.
That decided her. She made a mad sprint for the car, got inside, and pulled the sliding doors shut. The controls puzzled her for a moment or two. There were only three buttons, marked with digits for a first floor, second floor, and third floor.
She didn't know what floor she was on!
Now, she wished she had stayed in the room which she ran into when the elevator car arrived, or else risked the return to her own room. She had no plan, no knowledge of the building, and all the odds were stacked against her.
But she couldn't wait in the car all day. Time was on her side up until now --- every second counted up to the moment they discovered she was not in her room or that the elevator had mysteriously closed its door.
Quickly she tried to clear her mind. Let's see: She had no windows in her room, so the simplest guess would be that this was the basement. If that were so, the button for this floor would be the bottom one. She pressed he button marked "2" and held her breath as the car started upward.
When it jarred to a halt, she just stood there, looking at the blank metal doors. Then she screwed up her courage and pulled at the handle. The doors swung back, and she was in another hall.
She stepped out and looked in both directions to see another completely deserted corridor. She charged toward the end of the hall nearest her, where she thought she saw a window. Maybe this one would be real.
It was.
She looked out onto the greenery of the outside world and a wild thrill ran over her. It was the first genuine daylight and reassuring glimpse of normality she had seen for so long that it made a huge lump creep into her throat.
But the height made her take a sidelong glance through the glass pane, and she saw the ell of a wall nearby. There were windows on the same level as where she stood, another row on a still higher floor, and another row on a floor below her. She was on the second floor!
She knew she couldn't jump from here, so she turned and ran back to the elevator. Luckily it was still waiting there. She closed the doors, pressed the bottom button, and felt the car descend.
When it stopped, she was again afraid to open the doors. But it was also too frightening to wait inside the elevator car, not knowing what was happening outside.
She slid the doors open.
She was facing a richly furnished suite which had the atmosphere of both office and residence. No one was in sight, and she padded carefully along the richly carpeted floor, peering through archways into high beam-ceilinged rooms. One was a huge library; one a lounge-like sitting room.
Then she found herself standing in what seemed to be a lobby. The doors before her opened onto a porch, and she could see several concrete steps leading out to a driveway. The green lawn beyond beckoned to her, and she stepped out with a little joyous catch in her throat, determined to dash back into the real world, naked or not. That was the least of her worries. She was visualizing the moments ahead of her. The fast ride in the police car, with some chivalrous officer's coat thrown over her nudity. The shocked looks on the faces of the desk sergeant, the other policemen, the reporters ...
Then someone stepped from behind the desk off to her left and blocked her way. It was the very unorthodox Dr. Stillwell!
"Certainly you're not going out like that, are you, my dear?" he asked. The smile was sympathetic and concerned, but in his oddly burning eyes was an evil mirth.
As her hopes melted into nothing, Pal felt herself falling. She didn't care if she broke anything or not. It was just too much to cope with. Just before the darkness closed in on her, she thought she felt hands slipping under her arms.
CHAPTER 12
"This is Heidi," said Paul Harshman, holding an eight-by-ten glossy photo for Pal to see.
They had her back in her room, she saw, and apparently she had just been awakened from whatever coma or fainting spell she had suffered when she was on the verge of escaping from this madhouse.
She tried to focus her eyes on the photo. Paul was sitting on the edge of her bed beside her, one arm around her shoulders, supporting her unsteady body.
His hand --- the one holding the picture --- was steady, and when she could clear the fuzziness from her eyes, she saw that Heidi was a rather attractive blonde with a luscious body that would elicit wolf-calls from any red-blooded male. The shot was not what might be wished for by a professional photographer, but it was sharply in focus and the lighting was adequate.
Heidi's skin was clear and lovely, and her stance was provocative, although Pal sensed it was simply a natural attribute, like the glowing complexion. The facial expression told Pal that Heidi was posing against her will.
"At least, that was Heidi when she first came here," Paul corrected himself. "But Heidi had a certain amount of Germanic hard-headedness. She didn't want to give up the idea of escaping."
Paul let the photo fall on the floor and placed the hand that had held it on Pal's thigh, giving her creamy golden flesh a gentle pat. Then he put the hand on his own knee.
"As punishment, Heidi became test-case number one for Dr. Stillwell's last experimental formula. It was a compound having properties of several preparations, including caffeine, cantharidin, and phenmetrazine hydrochloride."
"Cantharidin?" asked Pal. "Isn't that what they call Spanish Ply?"
"Yes," said Paul. "He's trying to find an ideal balance of several types of oral medication which will provide sexual excitement, mental stimulation, and a general sense of pleasant well-being. Sadly enough, the compound caused a skin problem, a slight weakening of the sphincter nerves, and what seems to be a protracted if not permanent nymphomania. I'd show you. Come along."
He helped her to her feet, then led her out the open door of her room and down the hall to the second door from hers. It was one of the two she had listened by earlier, when she sneaked from her own room.
Paul opened the door, and as he led Pal inside, she saw the form of the tall blonde Aryan girl on a bed like her own. But this girl differed in appearance from the one in the photo. There was the same blonde hair, done in the same loose coronet-braid pigtails, and the frame was substantially the same. But there the similarity ended.
Heidi's entire body was pocked with large scars and open sores. Even as they watched, she scratched at her belly as best she could with her arms held by restraining straps, tearing a piece of scab loose. A yellowish-white pus oozed from several other sores.
Pal was sickened by this horrible destruction of a once-beautiful and healthy body. She noted the rubberized sheeting under Heidi, and was about to ask if the skin eruptions emitted that much fluid. But then she saw why it was necessary.
As the girl lay there, either half asleep or in some sort of traumatic shock, her thighs widely abducted to reveal the blonde and pink attributes of her pubic mound, an amber fountain erupted from her slit, wetting her thighs and the sheet below.
Pal recalled Paul's mention of the weakened sphincter nerves, and realized that the girl probably didn't know she had urinated. It was a heartbreaking thing to see, even for Pal, whose nursing background should have toughened her to such sights.
But it was the waste that appalled her --- the use of such a healthy young body for these illegal experiments. That, and the fact that a doctor would even perform such a terrible act.
Just then, the girl's eyes opened, and when she saw Paul, she began to get excited. Her English was uttered with a strong Teutonic accent, and half the words were German.
"Doktor Paul! Ist good you komm! Bitte --- please! You reizen my pussy, yes?" The girl's hips thrust upward lewdly at Paul, and swiveled to make a vertical orbit above the bed.
"I'm too busy, now, Heidi," he told her. "Dr. Jonas will come fuck you later."
"Doktor Jonas fuck me not long ago, but only kitzeln mit his hundschwantz, not mit his leder-spieler! Please! You take minute und fuck me mit fingers, Doktor Paul!"
"No, Heidi. But I'll ask Dr. Jonas to bring his lederschwantz and fuck you with it, if you promise to stop talking that way about the schwantz God gave him. Or should I tell him what you said?"
"No! Please! You don't tell him! But you send him to me quick, no? Is so hot, my pussy, I go crazy! You sure you can't take minute to help me mit your fingers?"
"I'm sure, Heidi. Now be quiet, and I'll ask Dr. Jonas to come soon." Paul led Pal back out of the room and closed the door, but not before Pal noticed that he had not reset the switch-button in the door frame. She guessed that it wasn't necessary as long as Heidi was strapped in bed.
"What's wrong with Dr. Jonas and what is it that she wants him to use on her?" asked Pal, half afraid to learn the answers to her questions. Paul chuckled as he herded her back into her own room and made her sit on her bed. He stood facing her.
"Dr. Stillwell has a number of phallic toys --- most of them made of leather --- which he uses to satisfy females that require bulk in their vaginal diet. Poor Jonas was cursed with an oddly malformed penis. It's longer than average, but terribly thin, and the head is elongated and almost pointed. That's why she calls it a dog's pecker --- but not in front of him! He's very sensitive about it, for which you can't blame him. But you'll find out about Dr. Stillwell firsthand, Pal baby."
"What do you mean?" Pal had a premonition of something that made icy shivers up her spine.
"We share almost everything equally --- Jonas and I. Because I run the risks to get the girls here, I take first choice. That way I get a little bonus now and then. I might have kept you to myself for quite a while, because you're an exceptionally juicy little hunk of female, Pal baby. But you need to be punched for trying to get away."
"Don't you think your whip is parchment enough? Haven't I actually been more than punished in advance for doing what anyone would have done in my place?" Pal was so indignant that Paul had to laugh at her, but as he spoke, he grew quite serious.
"You'd better start learning that you're not in the world you've spent the first part of your life in. This little world here is run by Jonas and me, and we run it as we like! Now, you can go on acing as if this is just an interlude in your life which provides harsher treatment than you like, and you can go on hoping and believing that you'll return to that other world and take up where you left off. You can --- but I don't recommend it!
"Your wisest course is to accept the inevitable. Take my word for it: You'll never leave this building alive! And you'll remain alive only as long you're useful to we. What those uses may be will in part also depend upon you.
"If you're as intelligent as I think you are, you'll try to be the best little old sexpot of a playmate either Jonas or I could want. Because when your nuisance value --- your upkeep and the problems you manage to create --- becomes greater than your worth as a stimulating sexual partner, you will be transferred to guinea-pig status. As with Heidi, we might amuse ourselves with you sexually now and then, if it suits us, but your major value will then be as a test animal for our research."
"I ... I just can't believe this is happening," Pal said, "It must be a bad dream! People just don't do things like this!"
Paul reached over and grabbed her right breast, squeezing it to make the nipple erect. When it did, he pinched the springy peak painfully, letting his thumbnail bite mercilessly into its tender flesh. Pal screamed in agony.
"Have you ever had pain like that in a dream?" Paul asked.
"No! Oh, God no!" Pal gasped. "Please don't do that again!"
"From this moment on, you'd do well to remember that you're just a slave here. The amount and degree of pain you experience will in some measure be decided by your own actions and behavior, including your attitudes. The end results are inevitable, but you can prolong your life and make it less miserable --- even enjoyable at times --- if you use your head. I'll leave you to think that over for a while. Jonas will be paying you a visit, soon!"
He left her, and as she peered up through the pain-induced tears, she could see that he was reaching to push the switch button of her doorframe. Quickly, she drew her bare feet up off the floor before the door latch clicked shut.
She sat there massaging the throbbing, smarting tenderness of her brutalized nipple, and sniffling to stop the wetness in her eyes and nose.
If indeed she had lost her only chance for escape, there seemed to be a very small choice of futures for her. She knew that she didn't have the kind of makeup that would permit suicide, and the guinea-pig routine horrified her especially with the recalled vision of poor Heidi's condition.
She couldn't see any alternative but total submission.
CHAPTER 13
Dogpecker was indeed a graphic accuracy, Pal thought, as she got her first close look at it.
Jonas had entered her room less than an hour after Paul left. At least, without a clock, she could only guess that it had been about that long. Whatever the time lapse, it was all too soon for her.
He entered the room as naked as she was. She had to admit that he had taken good care of himself. For his age --- she guessed it to be about forty-four --- he was in Iron condition, with only a slight indication of a paunch. But his deformity gave her the creeps. Even if it wasn't his fault that he had been born with it, she thought he should have better manners than to inflict the sight of it on others.
He moved to stand with his thighs pressed against the edge of her bed, and the long, limp, fleshy tube lay with its tip resting on her sheet. It couldn't have been more than a half-inch in diameter, but it must have been at least six inches or more in length in this flaccid state. Like Paul's, it was uncircumcised. Unlike Paul's, it gave her the weird feeling of viewing a side-show freak.
As a nurse, she had seen her share of cocks. Big and small, long and short, black ones, white ones, varying shades between, circumcised and uncircumcised, healthy ones, diseased ones, soft and limp, hard and erect --- but she had been able regard them impersonally for the most part. Those few patients who considered themselves God's gift to women and expected to thrill a young nurse by grabbing her hand and placing it on their penises had been very quickly cooled down. Pretending initial cooperation, she would simply throw back the covers as if to enjoy looking at it, then use her other hand to execute a fast and deadly finger-flip that stung and hurt the glans like hell! No erection could live through it, nor could the momentary libido which had caused the erection.
But this travesty of a penis could not be ignored, and she knew that this was one she would be unwise to mistreat. In fact, she was already mentally toughening herself, trying to organize her mind in some manner which would make less sickening whatever was about to happen.
She had seen the coiled whip in his hand when he came in, and she remembered what Paul had said about Stillwell's not needing much of an excuse to get rough. While she was thinking about this, he broke the silence.
"Look what I brought you," he said.
"Yes." It was little more than a whisper, but it was all she could manage. It lay less than fifteen inches from her face, and she was half-hypnotized by the revolting appearance of the grayish fleshy worm. It was almost taupe in color. A taupeworm, she thought with a slight tickle of hysteria, then caught herself before she burst out in a wild, mad cackle. She steeled herself and waited.
"Don't just lie there, girl," he said. "Show your appreciation for my thoughtfulness."
It scared her to realize that she wasn't sure what he expected of her. Then that wiser part of her subconscious mind --- the part that refused to hide its head in the sand like an ostrich --- told her to quite kidding herself and get a move on, unless she was particularly fond of having her skin cut to ribbons.
She raised herself on her elbows and began to pull herself nearer to the snake that had crept onto her sheet. As she drew closer, it acknowledged her approach by twitching slightly, after which it did not seem to be quite as limp.
When she was close enough, she bowed her head over it and brought her lips down until they touched the skin. An uncontrollable shudder ran along her back, making her shoulders quiver.
"Why the shiver, Pal?" he asked.
"Excitement," she said softly, thinking speedily to detour him from any suspicions of the revulsion she felt.
"Well, don't keep yourself in suspense so long," he advised. "Suck it in and get a good taste of it, before you vibrate yourself to death with anticipation."
She lifted her head to look up at him, wondering if he had guessed how she felt and was mocking her --- perhaps already raising the whip over her back. But a quick peek up from under her lashes showed only a greedy anticipation on his face.
She looked down again, and saw that he must have been convinced by her lie. Her reply had stirred his own excitement, and the red tip of his hose-like wand had started to swell and creep out from the wrinkled end of his foreskin. It looked more and more like a penis that belonged on a dog.
Stiffening suddenly to full size, it frightened her by lifting up off the sheet and pointing right at her face. The tip bounced up and struck her nose, and she knew she could no longer postpone the attentions he demanded.
She stretched her lips into a pink, fleshy donut and put them against the beast-like prick, then sucked at it, making the tip slip into her mouth with a thunking sound. Another shudder coursed up her back, and she hastened to work at the hardened flesh with her tongue and lips before he got wise to her true feelings.
After the first few seconds, she was surprised to feel the revulsion disappearing. In fact, the oddly conical elongation of his glans had a novel tactile effect on her. She started to suck and stroke at it, making a great part of its length enter her mouth on each thrust.
Then he grew excited and added some steam of his own to the in-stroke, and she felt the pointy tip strike the back of her throat, choking her. As she swallowed to keep from gagging, her tightening throat tissue pressed around the glans so voluptuously that he groaned loudly, then backed away, withdrawing it from her mouth.
"I'll give you plenty of nourishment later," he said, with a higher-pitched thrill in his voice than he had used earlier. "For now, get on your hands and knees on the bed, and I'll give you a real treat!"
She obeyed quickly, positioning herself for him with her ripely rounded creamy buttocks aimed diagonally toward him, her feet and calves extending from the edge of the bed on either side of his thighs.
His hands caressed her hips, and his thumbs slid down the crack of her ass slowly. She could hear him lick his lips wetly as he drank in the beauty of her valentine bottom. Then she felt the hot, wet point of his glans slip into the hairy slit of her cunt.
He maneuvered it to make it probe its way past the torn ragged inner portals of her vagina, then slowly --- with a voluptuous, sighing groan --- pushed steadily to move the pointed head of his cock through the wrinkled lining of her cant, parting the fleshy furrows before it like earth before a plow.
When he reached the point where Paul had bottomed in her passage, she started to take a deep breath, expecting him to hold the warm, wet grasping of her flesh around him for a moment. But instead, he was maneuvering to shift the pointy tip of his weapon around inside her, as if feeling for something he had lost.
Then she knew what he was doing. He still had length to spare with that skinny pipeline, and he was searching for the mouth of her uterus, intending to thrust his lance inside it!
She started to wiggle her ass around, pretending to be all excited, hoping she could either make him bust his nuts early in the game, or get so interested in her motion that he'd forget his contortionist ideas.
But his one-track mind had been made up. His whip, which she had hoped he would drop on the floor, must have been placed on the bed beside her. For one hand disappeared from her ass, and then the lash cracked down to lay a painful furrow from her left shoulder to her right
She shrieked, and the tears filled her eyes as the fiery pain lanced through her, calling an abrupt halt to her lateral hip movement.
"Hold still!" he roared. "I'll tell you when we start the action." He resumed his probing, and she could feel the rubbery flip of his torpedo as it rubbed over the rim of the target he sought, making little thrills of ecstasy ripple under the skin of her belly.
"Lower your belly and shoulders, but keep your ass up high," he commanded. She tried to hunch down in front, and make her belly lower. It canted her pelvis at a different angle, and she felt his hot little probe flip against the edge of the swelling in the upper part of her vaginal wall once more. This time, the pointy lance slipped over the edge of the ring-like protuberance and then squeezed through the tight center of its fleshy-donut shape.
He gave a cry of triumph and pushed deeper. Just as his balls slapped snugly against the crack of her ass, the coronal ridge of his conical glans passed through the mouth of her womb. To him, it was a thick-lipped creature sucking snugly on the tip of his cock to create an unsurpassable ecstasy.
Its effect on Pal was devastating. As she felt the dog-pecker tip slip into voluptuous connection with the previously virginal opening, she had only a split-second to tell herself that --- as a trained nurse --- she knew it was an impossibility. But the fact erased the theories in the books --- theories which did not take into consideration such a long, rubbery, canine penis as this.
And the very unnaturalness, the wrongness of such a thing did something to her, mentally. To say nothing of the combined physical stimulations in her vagina walls, on her oversensitive buttocks, at her hard little clitoris where Jonas now fingered her, and this deep violation of the lips of her surprised womb.
She simply froze into position as if hypnotized. Then a small ripple of muscular reaction started deep inside her, at the very heart of her female message center. It traveled outward in ever-increasing strength, making waves of sensation that brought her to the brink of unconsciousness, so ecstatic were their effects.
Her lubricating glands, as if they had gone completely berserk, pumped fluids into her vagina at a rate that made almost an immediate flow out of her cuntlips, around the skinny dog-hose, onto the hairy balls, and down her thighs as well as Stillwell's.
As each little spasmodic squirt of escaping juice came forth, Pal uttered an abnormally growling little sound, that would have raised the hackles on any psychotherapist who might have overheard it. Then the unbearable deliciousness of the accomplishment and its sensations triggered Jonas.
He felt the clinging walls of Pal's pulsing vagina on his oddly curving shaft, and the squeezing suck, suck, suck of her womb-opening around his pointed glans, as the hot, starchy semen burst from him in high-powered jets to dash violently against the sacred temple walls of her uterus.
The soul-shattering effect on Pal was immediately visible. As she felt the hot splashes strike directly against the most inaccessible tissues of her female being, her whole lower torso began to shiver violently, uncontrollably, and the shock made the rubbery mouth of her womb milk spastically at the hot little red cone of the doggish prick, causing the spurts to increase and prolonging the normal length of gushing time.
Jonas lost his mind with the excruciatingly thrilling sensations that tore through him as a result of his boldly ambitious and terrible violation. He tried to fuck into her deeper, as if he wanted to seed himself throughout her entire body.
But his thrusts only increased the unbearable ecstasy for both of them. His coronal ridge had lodged behind the inner edge of her violated opening, and would not back out. When he pushed forward, it made additional frictional sensations for them to endure.
His dog-pecker was hung up in the virginal womb of the blonde bitch, and they were growing steadily weaker from the abnormal demands placed on their glands and nervous systems.
Pal gave a groan and passed out cold, falling forward on the bed. It stretched Jonas and started to create an agonizing pain at this pointy glans. Then Pal's spasmed muscle tension relaxed, and he was wonderfully free!
He pulled out of her, exposing his horribly battered cylinder, and fell on the bed beside her. As the bruised tip of his hose fell limply against his thigh, the resulting pain made him grunt. He carefully slipped a hand under the wounded worm and lifted it up so he could assess the damage.
The pointed head had sustained the brunt of the battle's effects. It was still swollen, and the coronal ridge was bright with the redness of raw flesh. Tiny papillary bumps showed here and there over the chafed surface, and the ridge of the crown was covered with them.
A pearly smear around the tiny hole led to its center, where a late-arriving drop of his sticky seed was gathering into a tiny ball,
Just then, Pal regained consciousness and sat up, bracing herself on her elbows, then turned over to look at Jonas. Her eyes fell on the deceivingly laughable machine which lay in his palm. It magnetized her, as she felt the need to see this wizard-worm which had so thoroughly devastated her. She crawled over to take a close look at it. This time, she was not diverted by revulsions and the effort of hiding them.
Like a charmed bird, she drew nearer the snake which had her in its spell, then reached out a hand and gently stroked the long, soft cylinder, stopping short of the rawness at the sharp cone.
"It fucked its little head right into my baby-maker! "she said, in an astonished voice. To Jonas, it sounded as if she were talking partly to herself, and partly to the object of her admiration. So often had it been the object of ridicule, that he felt a grateful pleasure at the warmth it had induced in his lovely blonde victim.
"It worked so hard, it hurt its little self," she crooned, then leaned down and kissed the pointy tip. Her tongue licked at the pearly drop, and she drew it into her mouth.
As she raised herself up, the congealing fluid spun into a long thread of silvery white, making a swinging cable between her mouth and the one-eyed worm.
She slurped at it as her head lowered again, sucking it all in as she reached the source.
It was too much for Jonas. Even after the ordeal he had been through, this tender appreciation of his long-slandered equipment stirred him to renewed lust.
It pulsed under Pal's lips and hardened rapidly into full bloom. This time she could really appreciate its unmatchable length. The diameter had increased a little, but the main change in appearance, caused mostly by its hard slimness, was the look it now had of being able to go where no other cock could reach.
Pal was ready to testify to that! It gave her a new series of icy little bumps all over her skin, to think of the way it had snaked around in her to curve into her uterus.
"Oh, God!" Jonas groaned. "It's so hard, it hurts! Suck it dry, Pal, and make it go down!"
She touched the sharp cone with her lips, then sucked it into her mouth with a "thupp!" and let it slide over her tongue until it tickled her throat. Jonas groaned more loudly at the wet, slick warmth of her mouth as it enclosed him.
Then she moved her head in careful strokes, and the meaty tube fucked in and out of her mouth, pulling her lips into a pucker as it came out, then shoving the ripe red fleshy donut almost into hiding as it plunged back inside.
When Jonas could tell that this was going to take a while, due to his recent copious discharge of fluid, he stopped her.
"Let's try something else," he said. "Get back on your hands and knees."
She let the hard meat slurp out past her lips, giving it an extra farewell suck as the tip went by, then rolled over to present her lovely buttocks once more.
He got up and stood by the bed, his papa of all puppy-peckers waving hurtfully in front of him. The sight of her juicy round cheeks and the perfectly tapered crack that separated them gave him another aching surge in the guts.
Unable to resist the urge, he bent down and licked with hungry tongue up the length of the gorgeous cleft, then back down, until he felt with the searching tip of his tongue that tight little rosebud of flesh that nestled in the center.
She squealed as he forced his tongue into the pink wrinkles of her anus, and twittered it about expertly.
"Ooh-h-h! Dr. Jonas! I'm too sensitive there! I'll come all over the bed!" she cried.
He removed his tongue, making a final lusty lick up through the satin-smooth walls of the snug canyon. He chuckled happily as he repositioned himself with his knees on the bed.
Then he reached for her dripping, hairy crotch, and gathered a handful of the messy juices from her slippery cunt. The generous flow of her passion and the tremendous load he had pumped into her, kept oozing out in a slimy flow, and he employed it to make a smeary goop through the crack of her ass, and plunged his finger into her outraged anus time and again, goosing the slurpy mess well into her for lubrication.
Her cries of protest were ignored, and no matter how tight she squeezed her little asshole shut, he forced his greasing finger in each time, until he was satisfied.
By the time he was ready, the lusty anticipation had his pointy pecker pulsing with aching misery. He placed the sharp tip at the middle of her crack, spread her ripe, sweet cheeks with his hands, and guided the rubbery head into the wrinkled little pink donut-hole.
The quivering cone throbbed on into the center as he pushed, swelling the tense little annular muscles and making her gasp.
"Oh! No! That's too little for you! You're hurting me! Please! Fuck me in my pussy again! Please don't do that."
He chortled in glee at her dismay, and thrust more deeply into her rear. His dog-prick carried the puckery pinkness of her exit part of the way inside as it plowed on into the depths, making her squeal with the unnatural fullness.
Then he reached the end. His long hose was curved up into her rectum and the rubbery cone was lodged in her bowels.
He began to fuck into her with long, gut-piercing strokes. Each thrust carried the round pink rosebud inside, and each withdrawal pulled it back outside, turning the little thing almost inside out, and showing the extra blossoming of her pink meat as part of her rectal tissue was drawn out with the movement.
He slipped a hand around under her belly and moved his fingers to caress her horny little clitoris and plunge into her well-fucked cunt.
When his finger was as deep in her passage as he could get it, he could feel the thinness of the wall which divided that slippery tunnel from the one he was invading at her rear.
Pal was swiftly caught up in the wild sensations of being fucked from both sides at once, and her bowels began to grasp eagerly at him as he tore into her and withdrew.
Her lusty cunt-muscles tightened on his finger as he probed the slimy passage, and her juices flowed almost as heavily as before.
"Yes," she cried. "Fuck me deep! Oh, God! That hurts good!"
He plunged into her steadily, slapping his hairy balls into her now sweaty crack, and digging wildly in massaging circles with his cunt-captured middle finger.
"I-i-imm-m-m-m com-m-ming-ng-g-g!" she cried out, as he fucked hard on an in-stroke, and then she began to quiver and wriggle, impaled on the spindle of his sharp spike from the rear and the brutal twisting finger from the front.
"Squirt it in me!" she yelled. "Fill me full of it!"
Her pleas tore into his consciousness with a lusty, triggering thrill that pulled all his control away from hunt
He held his dog-prick deeply imbedded in her bowels and spurted heavily into her depths, while pressing hard with his cunt-fucking finger and cupping the mound of her pubis tightly with the eager palm of his hand. Then Pal collapsed.
As the last jet of come forced its way achingly out of his tired tube, Jonas felt her falling away from him.
He let her go, and as her relaxed anus released its tension on him, it milked him down and let the bright red rubbery tip flip out of the depression between her cheeks.
He caught his breath, licked his lips, gave her lovely buttocks a few pats of pleasure, then got to his feet.
He gave her a final look, grinning at the picture of total exhaustion and humiliation she presented, lying there limply with juices flowing messily out of her openings.
"You'll do, my lovely Pal," he said. "You'll be old and worn out before your time, but you'll do!"
CHAPTER 14
The door to her room was closed when Pal awoke. It took her a while to get up the courage to test the floor, but finally she forced herself to rest a bare heel briefly on the surface.
The current was off.
She quickly went out into the hall and directly to the bathroom which was near the door to the exercise room. As she showered, she felt the tickling trickle of Dr. Stillwell's semen as it dribbled slowly out of her uterus and into her vagina.
Her sanity had returned as she awoke, but only now did she recall what had happened to her, and what it meant.
"My God!" she said aloud. "He got that dog-prick of his into my uterus and squirted his come all over inside me! I have to get it out of there, quick!"
She dashed all over the bathroom, looking for some means to douche herself effectively. There was no proper equipment anywhere in the place.
Then she stopped in her tracks as she remembered baring seen an open lab door nearby. She went out into the hall, dripping water from her skin and semen and cunt-juices from her crotch.
She looked into the lab, found it unoccupied, and entered.
Desperately, she looked around her at the equipment. In frantic haste, she finally grabbed a Bunsen burner, peeled from its inlet the rubber hose that fed it gas, then stuffed the hose end --- with much fooling around and irritated mumbling --- up inside her cunt.
When she had it up as far as she could get it, she reached over and turned on the gas. An aching, cold feeling filled her lower belly, and she almost shut it off right away, but the fear of what might happen if she didn't continue made her suffer the misery for several minutes.
When she finally decided she had forced the gas throughout all her inner tissues, and that her uterus must be well filled with the stuff, she could smell the odor of the inflammable vapor quite strong in the room. She pulled the hose out of her cunt.
She shut it off, then tore the hose loose at the valve and took it with her back to the bathroom.
It took her several minus to stretch the small hose over the luckily tiny nozzle of a lavatory faucet. In a few more seconds, she had a fairly satisfactory temperature in the flowing water.
Then she stuffed the flowing hose back into her vagina as far as she could. The water was flowing all over the tiled floor, but a large drain in the corner carried it off.
She let the soothing flow continue, watching the dribbling stream that poured down her legs for signs of what she was trying to rinse out.
Occasionally, she would spot a small blob of the whitish come as it rode the rapids down her legs and across the tiles. Finally, there seemed to be no more to wash loose.
She looked around, then found that there was no hiding plate for the precious hose in this bathroom. So she hurried back to her own room and tried to find a good spot for it.
She didn't trust the hospital bed. Too near the upper surface, and one of her visitors might detect its presence. Too near the lower surface, and it could get pinched by the springs or the positioning mechanism.
Finally, she narrowed it down to the only place where they were not likely to look. She coiled it up and stuffed it into the water closet of the toilet.
By this tune, with the exertion of her running about and her endeavors to kill the sperm in Stillwell's seed, as well as the nervous anxiety over her chances of being caught, had worked up a heavy perspiration.
She decided to go back and take a longer shower.
This time, with the worry of the douching behind her, she had a relaxing, pleasant bath. Now, she felt cleaner, inside and out. Then she remembered the semen Jonas must have pumped into her bowels, and she felt defiled again.
Shuddering, she went back to her room. This time, she closed her door, but not before pressing in the safety switch in the door frame.
Then she squatted on the toilet, determined to defecate the last traces of her defilement.
"How could I have enjoyed --- actually enjoyed --- such a filthy, humiliating thing?" she asked herself.
The longer she sat there, the more degraded she felt.
"What kind of a world is this that lets such things happen?" she wanted to know. "How did it come to happen to me?"
When she finally went back to sit on the edge of her bed, she couldn't seem to think clearly at all. She tried to convince herself that somehow all of this could be undone. That every one of the degrading and humiliating acts performed on her could be counteracted, magically, by some potent effort on her part.
But the self-hypnosis didn't work worth a damn.
"Oh, Terry! Terry Monahan, my love! Have I lost you forever?"
She fell over onto her pillow and began to sob. It was now beginning to soak into her mind that she was most probably doomed to whatever kind of future was planned for her by Paul Harshman and Jonas Stillwell.
"Oh, God!" she cried out. "Let me die now! Please! Let me die before I become even more degraded. Before they use the lust that seems to be hidden in me to make me even more depraved than before! Oh, God! Help me die!"
She sobbed loudly, then the toll on her body made itself known, and she tapered off into a sighing, then a quietly breathing rest. Just as she thought she might be able to go to sleep, she heard her door open.
"Hi, Pal baby!" said Paul. "I thought you might be lonely, so I came by to stir up your womanly juices for you!"
CHAPTER 15
Paul made her vacate the bed, and he flopped down on it himself. He placed his coiled whip just above his head on the pillow.
"Come here and wake up this sleeping beauty, Pal baby," he said.
She studied his lean, bronzed body, and the way it gave the impression of potential anneal vitality, even in repose. Like a tawny lion, lazing in the tall grass, waiting for an already overworked lioness to do his bidding.
Or more like a maverick Indian buck, one of the shiftless ones that inspire the literary prototypes and create the unjust tribal image. Con some maid into taking care of his needs so he can be free and relaxed to pursue his lifelong adolescence.
Disgust filled her mind as she moved slowly toward the bed. Not the disgust she had felt at her initial contact with perverted lust, but a deeper vexation at the stupid waste he represented.
He had to have some intelligence and shrewdness to have acquired what he now had. If it had been used in the right way, such talent could have made him a social asset. The mystery was how he had perverted his talent; what had been the weakness, the rotten spot, that spread to his central intelligence, ruing him for all time as a valuable human being.
She wasn't moving fast enough to suit him, and he found it too much of an inconvenience to reach for the whip. He stretched out an arm and grabbed her by the long, blonde curls of her pubic thatch and pulled her toward him.
It wrested a painful cry from her throat, and she stumbled, trying to keep on her feet and move fast enough to relieve the agonizing pull on the hair which was rooted in such tender flesh.
As her thighs hit the edge of the bed, he let go of the furry handle and pulled at her forearm instead, tipping her off balance and making her fall across his chest and belly.
Then he transferred his grip again, this time to the nape of her neck. He forced her head down on his lower belly until her lips were flattened out against the hairy mat above his pubis.
"You'd better work a little harder and faster to please me, Pal baby," he warned her. "If I wasn't so tired from screwing Betty in the ass, I'd lash a little ambition into you just to guarantee a good performance. Now get busy and make that warrior ready for battle!"
Pal started to work, tonguing the hairy flesh and nibbling at little pinches of it, anxious to get the task over with. The faint masculine odor of him, emanating from the sweaty folds where his thighs joined his torso, stirred her a little, in spite of her determination to thrive on her contempt for him.
He had cupped one of her breasts in his hand, and her nipple had stiffly blossomed out between two of his massaging fingers. She felt the tiny stirrings of passion deep in her loins, and it angered her to be unable to stifle them.
Then her mouth was moving through the lower part of his hairy forest, and she came to the trunk of his solitary tree of flesh. It had been felled expertly, and lay there in the brush, soft and pithy as if attacked by dry rot.
The illusion almost became real as she caught the first whiff of the humus-like smell that came from it. She could begin to visualize mushrooms or toadstools springing up around it, so rich was the odor of decayed compost or manure.
Then she realized that it was manure. Betty's manure! She wouldn't let herself think of any words more commonly used to describe the organic stuff that had made those dark streaks on Paul's limp cock.
It was all she could do to keep from gagging. She stopped short, and raised her head.
"Would you please let me wash you off, first?" she asked.
"That's exactly what I thought you were going to do," he replied.
"I mean with soap and water," she persisted.
"I like it much better with just your tongue. Now get with it, broad, or I'll forget I'm tired!" He emphasized the impatience in his tone by taking his hand from her breast and slapping it flatly against the tender flesh of her nearest buttock.
She Shrieked at the smarting blow, and knew that she was going to get no reprieve. Resignedly, she brought her mouth back to the stained shaft, holding her breath so she couldn't smell anything, and tried to think of totally unrelated times and places, hoping it would keep her from sicking up all over him. That would really make him mad, she knew.
As she licked at the pliant flesh, its doughy feel under her tongue reminded her of the cylindrical cinnamon rolls she had helped make while working in the orphanage kitchen.
She could smell the first batch in the oven as she labored over the last ones. Because she had missed breakfast, and because the hot, yeasty, spicy oven-smells churned up her appetite, she had felt starved. Not daring to eat any of the baked rolls, because their neat symmetry on the tray would betray the theft, she started to put one of the raw ones in her mouth. Its limp, flaccid pliability had felt so strange to her lips and tongue, that she had decided not to eat it. She remembered telling Terry about it later.
Terry! Dear, sweet Terry! Such a short, bittersweet love affair that had been, and how persistent was the deeper love that still clung to her!
As she thought of that last meeting in the greenhouse, she could almost smell the rich, peaty odor of the compost and fertilizer, and the warm earthy scents that filled the enclosure. And Terry's young cock had been so sweet in her mouth!
She felt the swelling rigidity as the thoroughly cleansed shaft slipped between her lips and pressed against her tongue. It made her remember that this was not Terry's lovable young penis filling her mouth, but a larger and less innocent weapon, one which had been in many places.
She forced herself again to not think of the last place it had been, and of the fact that she had just cleansed it of its travel stains.
But her reminiscing had stirred her too deeply, and Paul's busy hands the one returned to her breast, and the other now dipping vulgarly in the spread slit of her crotch-had built up the fire in her loins.
As she sucked at the muscular meat, running her tongue around the smooth ridge and drawing it over the notched tip, she felt her juices start to suckle around her cuntal openings.
Paul, feeling the heavy lubrication on his fingers, speeded up his digital probing of the slippery, hairy canyon. He now had two fingers wedged deeply into her vagina, and his thumb was massaging her hurtfully-hard little nubbin of sensitivity.
"Oh-h-h! I'm coming! Ram it in deeper!" she cried. Her sudden involvement made her suck harder at the rigid flesh in her mouth, and she started to quiver all over.
Paul pulled her meal away from her, saving it for another use. She shuddered to her completion all by herself, as he rammed his fingers brutally into her heated, gushing depths. Then he let her collapse across him for a few moments, until her breathing became more quiet
"Get your carcass off me!" he commanded suddenly. It startled her, and she jumped and rolled to get clear, ending up on her feet beside the bed.
His lash flicked out unexpectedly and painted a long red weal across, her belly. She screamed with the pun, and her lovely china-blue eyes widened, then filled with tears.
"I didn't tell you to get out of bed!" he said. "Now get back up here and pose yourself for me. On hands and knees."
She scrambled onto the bed, sniffling and gasping, rubbing her painful lash stripe gingerly. When she was in position, Paul got out and stood behind her.
"Jonas tells me he found another cherry and broke it. I don't see any cherry juice on your sheets."
Pal was silent, since she didn't think he expected any comment.
"Who took your cherry, Pal baby? Who unlocked your juicy little cunt so playmates could visit anytime without a key?"
She was sure she had to answer this one, or his starved ego would get mean from hunger, and she would suffer accordingly.
"You did," she said, in a low, sullen voice.
"And whose cock was the first in your mouth?" he continued, feeding his childish ego still more.
"Terry Patrick Monahan's!" she said clearly and proudly. It was a joy to be able to thwart him in this one thing, and she relished the shocked silence that followed her answer.
"Tell me about it!" he demanded. To let her know she had no chance of avoiding the issue, he pinched her right buttock so hard it brought more tears to her eyes.
"Ouch! It was ... was a long time ago. I was only twelve." She hoped that he would let her stop there, but when she didn't continue, he gave her another pinch.
"Let's hear it! All of it! Tell Uncle Paul all about it. You were a bright little nymphet, and some nice man offered you candy to take a ride?"
"No! It wasn't like that at all! It was a boy my age. A very sweet boy! We were in love ... We still are!" She knew she should not press her luck, but she could not help trying to get back at him for what he had put her through, and for what she knew he intended to put her through. Or, rather, for the things she did not know about, which were yet to come. Somehow, she thought she should be glad she couldn't see ahead!
"Now, isn't that sweet?" he mocked. Little hotpants Pal baby had Terry baby limp little cockypoo in her mouth. Did her manage to make it get a little bit hard? Or did her have to be satisfied to suck the peepee out of his little soft tube?"
She realized her mistake, now. He might have gotten angry and whipped her violently. But he had chosen to ridicule her maiden sexual experience so he wouldn't have to take it seriously. She would have preferred the physical punishment, now that it was too late.
She bitterly resented his intrusion into her private world of Terry-and-Pal, and she hated herself for having unlocked the door for hint to enter. Now, she could only repress any further information, hoping that he'd give up the spiteful sarcasm and leave Terry alone --- Terry the good and sweet, who was worth a dozen Paul Harshmans.
"Well? How about it? Was it fun playing Doctor and Nurse with little Terry? Did you like sterilizing his little instrument for him?" He gave her another pinch --- much sharper and more cruelly selective. It was low on her buttock, almost into her crotch.
"Oh God!" she cried out in pain. "What do you want from me? We were kids! What difference does it make?"
"That's right!" Paul said. "Child's play. Having a real man's cock in your mouth was different, wasn't it? Come on. Admit it. There was a world of difference between having his cock and mine in your mouth, wasn't there?"
"Yes!" she said. And to herself added more: You can bet your life it was! At least he was clean and decent.
She had no more time to back-talk him in the recesses of her mind. He had slipped his hand in her crotch and was smearing her juices upward through the crack of her ass, and punching a brutal finger into her anus with each slippery trip.
She knew what that meant! He was going to fuck her in the ass!
It was one thing to have Stillwell's narrow dog-pecker shoved into that tight passage; quite another to expect it not to tear wide open with such a weapon as Paul carried!
"Oh, no! You can't really intend to stick that thing in me back there?" she asked.
"Of course I do. I have to prove that Jonas didn't get your little brown cherry after all, don't I? I do have pride, you know. You were my discovery, Pal baby. Jonas has to content himself with seconds. No, he can't really have opened you up with that toy of his. So I'm going to show you that you do still have a cherry there, and old Paul baby is going to get that cherry, just like he got the one in your virgin pussy!"
She felt the hard-soft warmth of his warhead against the tight rosebud of her asshole. It made her gulp in air quickly.
Which was another mistake. When he pressed with a hard and sudden fury, it ripped aside the gripping wrinkles of her anus muscles and plunged inside for over an inch, making the lungfuls of air whoosh out of her in an agonized scream.
"Oh-h-h! No-o-o-o! God, that hurts!" she moaned.
"You ain't felt nothin' yet, Pal baby!" he promised.
Then he shoved his murderous prick into her another two inches. She could feel the tortured little pink ring of her asshole being turned inside out as his large thick cock frictioned it inward with the thrust.
"Aa-agh-gh-h-h!" she yelled, then gasped in more air. "You're splitting my ass wide open! It's killing me!"
"Don't you believe it!" he told her. "You thought it was so painful when I took your other cherry, too. But you lived through it, didn't you?"
"A girl's pussy is made for that sort of thing," she said, then sucked in more air in little gasps, blurting out words in between the panting breaths.
"A cunt has to stretch to accommo ... date a baby, so it's ... naturally flexi ... ble, but this is ... different. It's ... not natural!"
"If you want it to feel more natural, then try to shit me out of here!" he taunted. "Make it easy on yourself."
The idea appealed to her. He was less than shit in her estimation, the way she felt about him now.
She strained to eject his meaty fullness from her rebelling rectum. As the effort opened her bowel muscles, he plunged on in deeper, coming up with a thump as his pubic bone struck her buttocks.
"That's more like it, Pal baby!" he encouraged her. "Now, just keep on trying to fart me out of you, and we'll both have some fun!"
She had to alit to herself that it had been much less painful when she had taken up his challenge to eject him. So, in self-defense, she kept up the muscular efforts to repel the meaty turd from her bowels.
But each time it seemed to be almost out of her, it squeegeed back up inside. Each time it returned, it felt as if it went even deeper. Then his hand was squishing around in the sloppy nest of her crotch, dipping at the slimy flesh with all fingers and shoving as many as three finger at a tune up into her vagina.
At some points she wasn't sure which hurt the most --- his multi-fingering of her little-used cunt, or his thick, meaty fucking of her virtually virginal ass.
"That's the girl!" he panted, reveling in the feel of the clasping bowels and sphincter around his rock-hard cock, and licking his lips as he almost tasted the juicy fluids which were pouring out of her vagina over his hand and wrist.
Pal grew excited with the plain physical fullness that invaded her two openings. It stirred up every nerve in her loins and belly.
"Oh-h-h! What a feeling! I'm so full everywhere! Yes-s-s! Fuck it in there. Fuck it deeper! Oh-h-h! I can't stand it I want to come and shit at the same time."
She was growing hysterical with the terrible pressures building up in her lower torso. It was the most agonizingly swollen feeling she had ever had.
Paul could feel the rubbery wet claspings on his cock and his fingers, and knew that she was passionately open to him at both doors. It made him want to pull out and shove his prick into her hot, pulsing cunt, but he couldn't bring himself to leave the tight clutching of her rear passage.
Just as he thought he might be able to make this last for quite a while a bubble of gas escaped from her as his cock was pulled back with the head just inside her tight pink muscular donut.
The wild fart breezed around the sensitive glans just as he started to thrust it back into her. It was just enough of an added sensation to unlock his loins.
Pal felt her swelling tissues burst somewhere in the depths, then it all started to drain out of her with a whoosh She was deliriously joyful with the sensation. Then Paul burst inside her.
It was a gut-rending explosion of rocket-bursts, and she felt the hot spurts of his come squeezing deeper up inside her, and melting back out around the fleshy shaft of his invading cock.
She screamed her impossibly joyous feelings as the whole world grew purplish red and then disappeared, leaving her alone with no body and no feelings --- suspended in space like a cloud.
Paul had pulled his dripping, limp prick out of her completely relaxed anus as she fell away and collapsed on her left side. She lay there as if dead, but her belly was hewing and he heard a little gurgle as involuntary muscles of her vagina squeezed a bit of fluid out past her swollen cuntlips.
He sat down on the edge of the bed and waited until she began to moan with the return of consciousness.
When she was aware of things enough to raise her head, she took a look over her sweaty, nude body at him, then let her cheek fall back on the sheet again.
"Now, Pal baby, you might be able to say that your rear cherry is gone. You have been had by Uncle Paul in both doors. So, who owns you, wench?" He cracked her on the soft, rounded curve of her right buttock with the flat of his hand.
"You do!" she yelled.
"Fine. And if you're ever asked, be sure you remember that."
He got up and left, closing the door behind him. She lay there, uncanny, waiting for the world to end or to eject her from it. Either one would do.
CHAPTER 16
Pal had a lot of time to think after Paul Harshman had tom up her rear entrance and almost destroyed the only mental retreat she had --- the memory world peopled only by a pair of twelve-year-old romantic sweethearts.
It took a number of hours of soul-searching contemplation to get back most of her pride and self-confidence. Most, but not all.
She couldn't quite forgive herself for betraying the private, secret relationship between Terry and herself. She tried to convince herself that it was not a serious betrayal, because in all the intervening years, Terry had not searched her out and claimed her as he had promised.
And after all, she told herself, she was only flesh and blood --- female at that --- and could not be expected to suffer physical agony to keep a secret that might have meaning only to herself.
Yet, it had been her own voluntary blurting out of the first treacherous and prideful words that had started it. If she was so quick to betray their treasured relationship out of pride how could she blame it on the fear of pain?
No --- she could never quite regain the entire person that had been Palmyra Weston before that betrayal.
For a while, it had consoled her to delude herself that her underlying motive in blatting out Terry's name was partly to punish Terry for having deserted her; breaking his promise.
But that consolation hadn't lasted long. She had thought too many times through the years of too many reasons why Terry might be unable to get to her. He must remain innocent and true to his promise until she knew otherwise. After all, he might even be dead.
That thought started her off crying again.
With young men all over the country being killed needlessly in wars, traffic accidents, and all sorts of things, it suddenly seemed all too logical that Terry might have been long dead when she betrayed their private love.
But after hours of self-recrimination and repeated arguments with herself that tore her apart over and over again, she had to do something to retain her sanity.
She took the easiest way she knew.
She forced herself to believe that she had done the best she could under the circumstances, and that she could only go on in the future by continuing to stay alive and as undamaged as she could. What happened after she might escape or be rescued somehow from all this, would depend upon Fate.
Then she began once more to think about the possibilities of escape. First, she had to attempt to figure out just what sort of people were Paul Harshman and Jonas Stillwell.
Pal had handled some pretty difficult patients in her short career. Some of them had been termed impossible by other nurses, but Pal had managed them by trying to analyze their problems.
She would have to analyze Paul and Jonas the same way. Figure out what made them the mean bastards they were. Since she had to start somewhere, she decided to take Paul's word for it that Stillwell was the most sadistic. It could pay to unravel the reasons for his sadism first.
She knew that he was terribly sensitive about his malformed penis. It was entirely understandable. A man was apt to be touchy enough if he though he had been shortchanged in that department, according to the texts she had read.
If a fellow could develop an inferiority complex over having less size than he thought he should have, how much more would it bug a man to have a dog-like appendage that elicited laughter from the females he tried to use it on?
Yes, that one thing could be the entire key to his problem.
Jonas Sillwell's reputation in the field of antibiotics was no secret to any contemporary nurse or doctor. And she knew that it would take a very deep-rooted aberration to move such a man to risk his career.
But yet, wait a minute! Hadn't Jonas, with the equipment he had been cursed with, achieved something that she suspected no other man could have accomplished? After all, how many men were there with such a penis? She had read of none in the textbooks.
If she could build his ego by making him believe that he was blessed instead of cursed with that clever little wiry dog-pecker, he might be cured of the mental aberration. Might even be grateful enough to help her away from here.
After thinking it over, she was less inclined to count on his gratitude being that bountiful. He could hardly risk his career on the possibility of her silence.
But even if he just stopped being a threat to her physical condition, wouldn't that be worth it? She resolved to try it.
Then there was Paul.
At first, she had thought that Paul couldn't get his gun off without first indulging himself in a little sadism. He had been mean enough, she thought, on those initial occasions when he made her submit to him sexually. She knew there were plenty of people with just such an impotence.
And the leather outfit he used sometimes was evidence of a sort. She had long known of the peculiar but not uncommon love some men --- and women, too --- had for the feel and sight and smell of leather, especially during sepal experiences.
So, with the obvious intelligence and shrewdness he had, what had made Paul seek this kind of sexual expression. He had proved that it wasn't a mandatory requirement for him to have an erection or to ejaculate.
She had received his pungent spurtings in her cunt and her mouth too often to believe that the leather or the sadism were absolute necessities.
But, hold it right there! She had been thinking of sadism as a purely corporal-punishment type if attitude. Yet, she knew that there was a lot more to it than that.
If he subjugated her --- humiliated her and degraded her --- that was a type of sadism in itself. Oh, lots of people enjoyed reading about the sufferings of others --- particularly common were those addicted to the more violent movies and TV programs.
But if a man required actual domination of this type over a female before he could make it with her, then he had a problem, whip or no whip.
Why, every man had a little of that latent sadism in him. Even Terry Monahan! Although he had apologized tearfully afterward, it must have been just such a potential quality in him that had made him do what he did to Pal that day at the orphanage when she was drinking from the garden hose.
He had let her get the trickling nozzle up to her mouth, and smiled sweetly as she started to drink from it, then he had turned the faucet on full, almost drowning her and leaving her with a sore throat for days. To say nothing of soaking her clothes completely and getting her into trouble with the staff.
Because she hadn't squealed on him, they had become even better friends after that.
Well, then. What was the difference between men like Terry, who controlled themselves after possibly one or more small outbursts, and men like Paul, who seemed to need a steady diet of victims?
If she could solve that, she might be able to win Paul over, just as she intended to try to charm Jonas through the knowledge she thought she had of his motivation.
Just as she thought she might have started on the way toward her salvation, just by concentrating on the personality factors and indulging herself in a little parlor psychiatry, the vision of Heidi's ruined body popped onto the projection screen in her mind.
It was more than a small aberration which could lead men to destroy a lovely female body like that!
As she kept Heidi's pitiful condition on her mind, she grew more and more frightened. And by the time she had sought for every possible excuse for such action, and failed, she had completely changed her mind about both Paul and Jonas.
If either of them were sane enough to be salvaged by her pitiful efforts as an amateur psychiatrist, they could not have allowed that poor German girl to be so hopelessly destroyed.
There was only one answer --- and it shattered her hopes for any success at winning these men through psychological means: She was at the mercy of a pair of madmen!
CHAPTER 17
Much later, Pal had occasion to look back and wonder if that painfully sharp vision of Heidi's sore-encrusted body had been some kind of clairvoyance.
For, when she was next selected as a sexual animal, she was taken to Heidi's room by Dr. Jonas Stillwell. The pitiful sight of that messy skin which had once been so divinely lovely was a morale-shattering thing.
"Ach-h-h! Heidi is so glad you komm! My pussycat is so much hungry, Doktor Jonas! You fuck me now, quick, no!"
"You'll have your little pussycat happy before long, Heidi," promised Stillwell.
Just then, Paul entered behind them. He moved to a position on the opposite side of Heidi's bed, and Pal saw that his steely gray eyes were blight with what seemed to be anticipation.
"So Pal baby is lunching at Heidi's today, huh?" he asked.
"Yes," Jonas replied. "I don't feel up to servicing our Fraulein, and you've declined the honor, so it seemed like a good idea to let Pal take care of it for us. She's had a good rest, and we can't let her think she doesn't require a little discipline now and then."
"You're quite right, Jonas," replied Paul.
"And we can't let Heidi go too long in her hyperthymic condition," added Stillwell
"True," replied Paul. "Too true."
Pal wasn't sure what was coming, but she knew she wasn't going to enjoy it. These two madmen undoubtedly had horribly evil plans for her.
Heidi lay there, strap secured across her upper alms, eyes very bright and wide open. Her tongue stole out to wet her lips almost every other second. An occasional little stream of saliva Tickled from the comer of her mouth.
The German girl's legs were tightly squeezed together at one moment, and slacked apart slightly at the next, as she made obvious attempts to relieve her sexual excitement by forcing the lips of her vulva together in an intermittent friction.
"Oooh-h-h! Gott! I can't make it by myself!" Heidi moaned. "Please! Help me!" The girl's hips we e rolling and rotating as she tried to get sufficient agitation to ease the hunger of her starved genitals.
It was the first serious case of nymphomania Pal had ever seen, and it shook her more because she knew it had resulted from the inhuman use of the girl as a test animal for their stupid compound!
"Yes, Pal baby, help her out like a good neighbor," said Paul.
"Me?" Pal swallowed hard. "How can I help her? She needs a man --- in the worst way!"
"Perhaps so," volunteered Jonas. "But as a substitute, she would be glad to have a woman --- in the best way!"
Pal's breath hissed in through her teeth as she gasped, only making a daring guess as to what they intended for her.
"What in God's name do you mean?" she whispered.
"I mean," said Jonas, with a ragged grin, 'that in God's name you must be kind to this poor girl. Don't you feel pity for her condition?"
"Of course!" Pal said. "But the greatest pity has limits! I don't like to see her suffer, but ..."
"But you would --- rather than help her out?" interrupted Paul. "Is that the attitude they taught you in nurse's training?"
Pal steeled herself, then moved forward against the bed and slipped the fingers of one hand into the furry blonde loins. It created an mediate reaction. Heidi spread her legs wide apart and gurgled happily.
"Oh-h! Yes-s-st Sank you, darling! Yes-s! Do it much!" Heidi's gratitude already made Pal feel repaid for caressing the wetly pulsing warmth of the hairy slit.
"I said in the best way, Pal," Jonas reminded her. "Certainly you're sophisticated enough to know how one woman can best satisfy another, my dear!"
"But, Doctor!" Pal protested in a horrified whisper. "She's terribly infected."
Only the drier areas of her skin," he explained. The reaction did not affect her mucous membranes at al. Put out your tongue and open your mouth wide, Heidi," he commanded.
The girl obeyed, and Pal saw that --- excepting an understandable light coating of the tongue --- the girl's mouth was quite healthy. And by this time, as Pal continued her attempt to help the girl, a deep fingering revealed that the vagina was quite free of any abnormality.
Oh, dear God! thought Pat, as she fought against the revulsion that welled up in her. Help me get through this, somehow!
Then she recalled that she had already brought Betty to a climax in that manner, when Betty's vagina had been loaded with Paul's semen. She could hardly do less for this tortured girl who was a victim in a country foreign to her.
Pal's body was like a rigid automaton as she bent her joints to get onto the bed and kneel between Heidi's feet. She kept her eyes on her goal, refusing to focus even for a split-second on the blotchy skin of Heidi's belly and thighs.
As her mouth neared the very highly mounded pubis and its plentiful crop of golden hair, she could smell the warm woman-scent of the girl's excited juices. Mixed with it was a faint odor of urine.
Pal didn't dare hesitate, lest she be unable to resume her movement toward the poor girl's vulva if she stopped at all. Her tongue licked out and targeted the parted slit, then slid along the thick edges of the outer lips, caressing the inner lining of the hot, wet fleshy petals.
"Oooh-h-h! Gott! Ooh-h! Gott! Heidi moaned, over and over, as Pal's sympathetic tongue massaged the swollen tissues.
Heidi's thighs were threshing about from side to side, and her heels were thumping on the bed heavily, beating out the rhythm of her surging passion.
"Deep, darling! Please! More deep, like by the fingers!" panted the hoarse voice, and Pal plunged her tongue deeply into the cleft of the blood engorged vulva, dipping at the surface of the juice-covered flesh and dragging her tongue-tip upward until she touched the moaning girl's clitoris.
Pal didn't know how she could have failed to notice it before, but the late discovery now startled her when she contacted the abnormally lengthy erection at the folded juncture of Heidi's cuntlips.
It was like a miniature cock, the way it protruded from its little hiding place, sticking out almost 3/4ths of an inch from its base!
This momentary shock did not slow Pal for very long. She had an uncontrollable desire to suck at this surprising little organ she had found. And Heidi was happy with the results.
"Yes-s-s-s! You find my little schwantz! Oh-h, yes-s-s! You suck on it so nice!"
Pal's lips slipped over the unbelievable little erection and milked at it tenderly. Her tongue ran around it with excited haste, as she tried to visualize its structure.
It was misleading at first --- she thought it was actually an underdeveloped penis, and that Heidi was some kind of hermaphrodite. But the hard little cocklet was too firmly cloaked in its foreskin and too organically constructed as a clitoris for any mistake, once Pal's tongue had traveled over it a few times to learn its true outlines.
But it was an exciting little plaything to find in the juicy well of Heidi's very female juices. And Pal gave it a thoroughly complete licking and sucking motel Heidi reached her first culmination.
"Ach-h-h! I komm-m-m-m!" she yelled loudly, and as the tip of Pal's tongue slipped down and entered the flowing fountain of Heidi's vagina, the thighs and legs wrapped around Pal's nude back. She could feel the irregularities of the postulant sores, pressed over her sensitive skin. But she ignored it, and concentrated on bringing the poor girl to a true completion.
"Kee-riste!" said Paul. "It makes me horny as hell to watch those two!"
"Me too!" agreed Jonas.
"Damned if I'm gonna miss the opportunity!" Paul cried.
He soon had his butt above Heidi's chest, one knee on either side of her neck, so that her shoulders fitted behind his knees. He could feel her left nipple erected into the crack of his ass, and it drove him wild with lust.
He slipped his passion-hard cock into Heidi's lips, and the girl sucked it into her mouth eagerly, reveling in the added involvement that helped comfort her nymphomaniac nervous system.
Jonas was only a few moments later in getting his plan executed. He got up behind Pal and pulled her legs out until her buttocks were poised high in the air. She tried not to let his efforts interfere with her ministrations to Heidi, although she felt a distant concern about what he would decide to do.
When his hard, skinny little dog-pecker slipped into her cuntal lips, she realized for the first time that she had been lubricating copiously from the mental involvement she had met in Heidi's crotch.
Jonas used the sloppy excretion to greatest advantage. He let his long canine rod run back and forth through Pal's slippery slit, until it was coated with the hot, creamy liquid.
Then he grabbed her satin-sleek buttocks with his hands and let his dog-like antenna feel its own way into the torn butterfly of her inner cuntlips. She felt the thrillingly pointy tip of his rubbery cock slip past her entrance and slide goosily into her vagina.
Her head came out of Heidi's crotch for just a few moments as she savored the shuddery thrill of the long, drawn-out insertion. Jonas let it slide in so slowly that she could feel the doggy red cone pass each pink, hot wrinkle of her swelling passage. It made her give out a shrill cry of excitement.
"Eee-e-e-e! Jonas! Get it all the way in before I pass out!"
He obliged her quickly, not wanting the festivities halted so they could get her revived.
When she felt the prehensile tip searching out her uterus opening age, she almost passed out, anyhow. The eerie sensation was almost unbearable. It was like a tiny animal nosing about inside her!
"God! Jonas, you'll kill me with that nosy feeler of yours before you're through! Oh-h-h! What a sensation!"
Paul only vaguely heard her, so thoroughly was Heidi keeping him occupied. She had brought him dangerously close to the edge of his control several times, but used her teeth expertly to discourage him before he could ejaculate.
Jonas, highly excited by Pal's obvious lusty pleasure with his flexible flyer, was in his glory. He had slipped his hands up to her shoulders, shoving aside Heidi's clasping legs so he could get his chest against Pal's soft silken skin. Then he had slipped his arms around her to cup her firm, generous breasts.
Heidi had let Jonas get settled, then wrapped her legs around Pal's shoulders until the scabby calves reached up to grip Jonas at almost the same place.
Now they all worked feverishly, each trying to last as long as possible, in order to prolong the voluptuous feelings that flowed over them.
When Jonas managed to get his rubbery point lodged in the tight fleshy lips of Pal's womb, he groaned with the effort of holding back his explosion, so good did it feel to have her innermost sanctum violated by his hot, throbbing cock.
Pal could feel the hard little cone as it pierced again that vulnerably sensitive little donut of womanhood that she had thought was inviolate to the human male.
"Oooh-h-h! You did it again! You did it again! You got that sneaky little thing into my uterus! Oh, Jonas! God! I'm-m-m-m commmmmgggggg!" She vibrated all over with the force of her bursting orgasm, and the juices seeped wildly out of her as she felt the spasmodic clutchings of her innermost being.
Secure now in ego-satisfying uniqueness of his accomplishment, sure that if he could do it twice, he could do it again and again, Jonas lost all self-consciousness about his non-conforming penis. He reveled in his newly developed capability as if he had become a god.
"I got my one-of-a-kind dog-prick screwed into your baby-maker like no other man could ever get it!" he yelled, and then the enormity of his repeat performance burst him loose from his control.
His swollen little cone erupted in explosive jets that hit the walls of Pal's tiny womb with hot, soul-shattering splashes. As he gushed the last of his bountiful load into her dangerously vulnerable female temple, he fell off her, and she collapsed on top of Heidi, her face sliding up over the girl's scabby belly until it stopped against her breasts.
Paul had heard this last, as had Heidi. Both of them seemed to be terribly affected by the improbable gut-fucking finale that climaxed so loudly and so near them.
Heidi's body convulsed in rapid, shivering tremors as she felt herself loosened for the first time in weeks from the terrible hungers that had possessed her. She swallowed greedily at the hot, pulsing stream of sticky semen that Paul's cock was pumping into her mouth and throat.
Paul gave a strangled cry and started to fall backward, but as his spine hit Pal's head, it hit a nerve, making him jump up in reflex. His butt came back down, and his after-fuck pulsings made his asshole wink as it closed over one of Heidi's nipples.
Still trying to swallow the Last of Paul's copious seed, she could not cry out without choking. The effort of continuing to swallow while her reflexes fought to make her scream with the sudden, sharp pun, caused her to lose control of her bladder.
Pal woke up as the hot amber stream finished its geysering up against her navel.
The hot smell of sweat and sex around her, and the pungent odor of the urine, seemed to make her pass out again. For a long while, the room was very quiet, except for the sounds of deep breathing.
CHAPTER 18
High up in one corner of her room, mounted at the juncture of two walls and the ceiling, was a small speaker enclosure.
Pal had noticed it before, but because she had always had too much else on her mind, she had given it no thought.
Now, the day after her exacting participation in the four-way orgy with Heidi, she lay on her bed, still exhausted, unable to regain as yet the strength torn from her during the degrading and shameful episode.
Her eyes caught on the dark wood that housed the speaker, and she wondered why it was there. All the time she had been imprisoned in the room, there had been no sound from it.
Her experience in the hospitals had taught her that speakers can be used as microphones, also, when connected in certain kinds of intercom systems.
She doubted that this installation was intended as a listening device, for several reasons. First of all, she had seen no indication of any kind of staff here. There seemed to be only Paul and Jonas. They could hardly interrupt their separate and individual duties for spot checks of the "cells" occupied by Heidi, Betty, and herself. At least, not with any degree of security.
And if it were up there to betray her activities, they would most likely have discovered her escape attempt before she had stumbled into Stillwell in the lobby.
They also could have heard her pattering about when she was on her douche-hunting junkets.
No, she deeded, it was not a snooping device, as such. But she wished it would act like a decent speaker. Why didn't they play some music over it, or something? Did they want to drive her out of her mind from boredom?
She wished she had never noticed it in the first place. She wished most heartily that she had not started thinking about it now. It was just one more thing in a long list of petty little irritations that she would prefer to get out of her mind.
Like the food. Especially the evening meal!
It was always some kind of a TV dinner. Probably because that was as simple to serve without an accredited staff as anything else. And maybe they bought them in such quantity that it was also the least expense. They certainly must have loaded up on those fish dinners! She had had them several times in the past few days.
The memory of fish suddenly reminded her of the ocean-front smell that emanated from Heidi's pissy cunt when they had all begun to revive after the orgy.
She could still see the happy smile and relaxed expression on the German girl's face as they left her alone in her room. And the shocking picture of her pitifully marked body!
Oh, if I could only get out of here! Pal thought. If I could just get the police to bust in here, those two would never see the light of day as long as they lived.
She tossed around restlessly on her bed, trying to get her thoughts shifted away from the helplessness and the hopelessness of her situation.
She wondered what Paul Harshman and Jonas Stillwell did when they weren't tormenting helpless victims. After the orgy in Heidi's room, Paul had told her she had twenty minutes to use the bathroom before she was locked up for the night. Then he and Jonas had taken the elevator up in a hurry.
She lost precious time by forgetting to retrieve her treasured douche hose, and had to go back for it. Still, she had been able to sneak in the lab, fill her violated uterus with gas fumes, and flood herself thoroughly with water before she showered, without getting punished, so she must have made it in time. It was impossible to know without any clock or watch around.
Suddenly, she realized that she had left her douche hose in the bathroom, so frightened had she been that she would not be back in her room on time! If it was discovered, she might lose the use of it, and could well expect punishment for baring stolen it from the lab. Maybe they had found it the same day!
She swung her feet out over the floor and made a quick check. The current bit her a quick jolt before she could get her heel up off the studded tile. She cursed silently for a while, then got an idea she knew she had to try.
She worked and tugged at her sheets until she could loosen them sufficiently to get at the short, rubberized under-sheet that was standard protection in hospital beds. When she had managed to get it out, she examined it. The rubber was in good condition. It looked as though it might be new.
She trailed it onto the floor below the bed, then carefully stretched out a foot and pressed down on it. So far, so good, she thought, as she felt no shock.
Taking a deep breath, and mustering up all the courage she possessed, she got both feet onto the sheet, then squatted and put her weight on the end of the sheet toward the door. She reached back and pinched up the corner of the other end and inched it toward her, then held it down with one foot until she could get the opposite end flattened out.
Inching her way bit by bit, she finally reached the door and carefully opened it. Then she tested the bare spot by the door, and knew the current was off.
There was no one in the hall, so she made a dash for the bathroom, ran in and got her hose, and hurried right back to her room. In a few seconds, she had the hose stowed away in her water closet.
Then she wondered how she could get the damned rubber sheet back under the bed-sheet without standing on the floor. She certainly didn't want them to find out that she had discovered a way to outmaneuver the shocking system.
It came to her with a surprising clarity that she didn't have to reset the current. She hadn't done so before, when she first left the room. They had no reason to squint through the notch on the outer door edge to see if the switch in the frame was depressed or not. They always just came down the hall, opened her door, and left it open as they entered.
She picked up the insulating rectangle, brushed it off, and replaced it in its proper spot, then hastily remade the bed --- a simple task for the fastest successful bed-maker in her nurse's training class.
When she got back on top of the covers, she felt better than she had for quite a while. A little tingle of independence had returned with her execution of the rubber-sheet caper.
She knew it was a smell thing, but it was just one more item she had in reserve that they didn't know about. The sheet, and the fact that she knew how the current-switching operated, so she could take advantage of the rubber insulation.
Now, if there was just some way she could make it pay off ...
CHAPTER 19
Dr. Jonas Stillwell was intoxicated.
He had not been drinking anything alcoholic. In fact, he was sipping at his second cup of coffee within a half-hour period. Sipping and thinking, as he sat at his laboratory desk on the ground floor of the Harshman Research Foundation.
He was intoxicated with his first truly genuine success in the act of sexual intercourse with a lustily responsive partner. And she was a beautiful, lusciously ripe girl, too.
After years of frustration, he had made it good. Good? Hell, he had come on like Gangbusters, Batman, and Errol Flynn all rolled together.
He knew how lucky he was that his early years of failures with females had not rendered him impotent. How many times had he got some doll all steamed up, and then when she slipped her hand over that skinny length of meat, felt it wilt in her grasp as she went into hysterical laughter over the misshapen thing?
And even the pros hadn't been able to hide their smiles. Sure, some of them had tried to cover it up fast, then goofed just as bad by letting their pity for his deformity show all over the place. Who could maintain an erection under those conditions?
He had sublimated like hell, driven himself all through those tortured academic years, suffered through the wet dreams, the lack of female companionship, and the odd looks from fellow students who figured that anyone his age who didn't date the girls had to be gay as hell.
His only release had been through masturbation or nocturnal emission, all those years. With one exception, which he didn't often let himself remember. But sometimes it crept back into his mind, when he needed something to cling to --- some memory that gave him a half-assed hope of some possible solution to his unique problem.
The body had come in from County Hospital when he was on duty, and he had signed for it, filled out the tag required by university procedures, and added it to the ID tag on the corpse's foot.
It was when he had started to roll her into the vault that he did a double take over the OTHER REMARKS entry on the hospital's form. "Severely prolapsed uterus" was scrawled on the dotted line.
A long time before that day, he had wondered what it might be like if he could just get a woman to let him try to work his long, thin penis into her uterus. But even the pros were leery of that. And there had been all too few others who had let him even get the malformed thing into their cunt, much less lie still for any nonconformist monkeying around.
So he had never really had a tight fuck in his life, other than the collie bitch he had tried that time on his father's farm. And she had run away, yipping and growling before he could get it in far enough to get started.
So he peeled back the sheet on the cadaver and examined the genitals. The uterus was indeed severely prolapsed. When he spread the labia majors and inserted the speculum, there it was. The grayish pink fleshy donut of the uterus mouth was staring right at him, only an inch beyond the entrance.
The body had been warm from traveling in the hot county meat-wagon, and he knew that it had not been previously refrigerated, from the delivery record. So it was not far below normal temperature when he climbed onto the table with it.
As his unslung penis approached the cadaver, it seemed to get harder than he had ever remembered it. And when he felt the very sensitive rubbery tip press at the pliable opening of the uterus, he felt a wild joy. It slipped in snugly, grasping at his hard glans deliciously.
He got in only a few short strokes before his nuts came loose. He plunged into the spongy interior full-force and felt his load gush out around the end of his cock where he had it jammed against the far wall of the womb.
The aftermath was a nightmare. The scurrying around to get the uterus thoroughly douched out and swabbed reasonably dry before anyone came into the cooler, the shakes he had developed after he was safe, the way he had jumped at the smallest sound for the next hour. All of it had been enough to cure him of necrophiliac tendencies from then en.
But it had created the determination in him to advance his attempts at uterine penetration wherever the opportunity opened up for him. But it had never worked out until Pal came along.
He had tried it with both Betty and Heidi, many times. Sadly enough, for him, he had developed a phobia about mounting from the rear. It was due to the thoughtless females who had dubbed his poor tool "dog-pecker" and other ...
But Pal's initial reaction to the sight of his equipment had given him a burst of courage, and he determined to try the rear entry position for the first time, caring not how dog-like it might make him feel, if he could just get it in where he wanted. And the sight of Pal's extremely provocative behind had been a bonus incentive.
Now he knew that a rear entry could gain him his goal, and it was like the first Martini to a former teetotaler. He might even kick the discipline bit, with all the fun he could have without it.
He hadn't gone to a Leather Lovers' League meeting since the night he had lost his head and made that girl hemorrhage to death on the houseboat. Just because his penis-inferiority complex had him using oversize phallic devices to compensate for his natural deficiency.
He finished his coffee, and wondered if it might not be fun to go wake up Betty and phallate her from the rear. Then he remembered that Paul had her tonight.
He toyed with the idea of going to Pal's room, but he didn't want her to get the idea that he was dependent on her accommodations. The standard routine he and Paul had developed was psychologically designed to make the girls restless and unwanted by avoiding them for a day or two at a the, then taking them very casually or ruthlessly, to show the independence of mastery.
But his canine cock was hot to probe into some bitch, to sink past the plastic donut of a quivering womb-mouth. He got up and prowled the halls, then took the elevator down to the basement. He had to get into something soon, or he would go wild with the intensity of his new-found virility.
He paced back and forth in the basement hall, trying to decide what he should do. He opened one door a crack and looked in at the still form on the bed, then closed the door.
He wiped his forehead with the back of his hand, and blotted the accumulated perspiration on his white clinic jacket. He paced some more, then suddenly strode to a door, opened it, and went in.
CHAPTER 20
Pal awoke just as her door opened, eyes wide with startled wonder. Usually they came to her room only in the hours when she wasn't really sleeping.
The door had only opened a crack --- just enough for her to see that it was Jonas Stillwell standing there, silhouetted against the lighted hall as he turned to pull the door shut again.
She lay there for a long time, wondering why he had looked in on her. Could something be happening out there that might make it easy to escape now? It just wasn't routine for anyone to look in unless they were bringing food, announcing bath time, or conning to get her for a sexual bout.
One thing she knew: Jonas had not pressed the safety button in the door frame, so the floor was definitely charged again when he reclosed the door.
She waited a while, then decided that he wouldn't return. She got up, pulled the bed apart to get her rubber sheeting out, and went through the tedious inch-worm routine again. When she had the door opened and the safety on, she closed it again, then went and remade her bed for the second time in a few short hours.
I never thought I'd be making the same bed so often, once I kicked basic training, she thought.
She paced quietly around her room, wondering why she was so restless. She wondered what Jonas was doing. As she thought of him, she couldn't help remembering with a tingling thrill the utter surrender he could win from her by wriggling his long little doggy prick into her womb.
The more she thought about it, the more restless she became. A warmth was creeping across her loins and belly. She put her hands up to cup her breasts, not quite knowing why she did it. As her palms made contact with the warm, creamy mounds, she discovered that her generous nipples were spongily erect and fully in bloom.
VVhat's getting into me, she wondered that I wake up all tit-hard and belly-hot like this? Can sexual activity be addictive? Has all this heavy stimulation of my genitals stirred me up so much that my body is going to start expecting and wanting a dose of sex every time I turn around?
She sat down on the edge of the bed and tried to think about anything she had read in her texts on such a theory, and she could recall nothing of the sort. She decided that what she needed was a cold shower. But she was scared to risk it, lest she get caught.
But finally she grew bolder. Especially when she caught herself fingering her pussy with one hand and squeezing her nipple with the other.
She sneaked across the Door and eased the door open until the safety switch-button popped out of the door frame. Then she pushed it back in, took a quick look to make sure the hall was deserted, and went out, closing the door behind her.
Then she became aware that another door in the hall was open, and additional light was spilling out of it into the hallway. She started to slip back to her own door, frantic with the fear of discovery.
But sounds from that other room made her prick up her ears, and her curiosity became stronger than her fear. She padded very slyly down the hall until she could just peer around the doorway into Heidi's room, and her breath caught in her throat, almost making her choke audibly.
She had thought that maybe Heidi was getting turned over in bed. She knew that the girl had to be turned often to prevent worsening of her skin infections. Heidi had been turned, all right. But for other reasons.
The German girl was on her hands and knees in the bed, and Jonas was mounted from behind, his back to the door. His white clinic jacket and slacks were on the floor nearby, with his shoes and socks.
Pal watched, spellbound, as his hairy ass moved around in an odd maneuvering manner, and she knew what he was up to. He was making that rubbery little point of his search out Heidi's puckery little womb donut. Just seeing the action made her go all weak and quivery, and she could hardly keep her knees from giving way beneath her.
"I tell you, Doktor Jonas, ve do better if you use lederschwantz. My pussy so big from vhere you use it ozzer times, I don't feel you in me!"
"Just be quiet, Heidi!" Jonas ordered. "This time it will be different, but you have to be patient. Now don't move until I get where I want to go. You'll know it when I do!"
Oh, God yes! Pal thought to herself. You'll know it, Heidi! You lucky girl! When that thing crawls into the puckered doorway of your very innermost soul, you'll know it! Oh-h-h! I can't stand here seeing it without almost feeling it go in my own pouting womb-lips!
She dug her fingers into her slippery, dripping crotch, and her breath panted rapidly as her passion mounted.
Then she saw Jonas cease his ass-waving motions, then push hard against Heidi's buttocks.
"Ach-ch-h-h-h! Mein Gott! Vat machen sie?" cried Heidi, with a warbling trill in her voice. "Doktor Jonas! You not suppose to fuck in zere! How you get in me like zis?"
Oh, Heidi! thought Pal. Don't knock it until you've really tried it.
"Argh-gh-h-h-h!" gurgled Heidi, as the tricky rubbery cone got past her fleshy iris. "I sink I am wrong! I sink you suppose to fuck in zere, and I don't care how you get zere. Just don't leave!"
Pal's crotch was slopping with her flow, and her hands continued to work around in the heated flesh as she watched and listened, panting with passion and dying to have the treatment that Heidi was getting.
Jones was humping into Heidi with a hard, steady rhythm, and she grunted as each thrust made the stubborn little pointed tip of his cock jerk fullsomely through the thick fleshy mouth of her uterus.
Heidi grew more and more wild as the snake-like prick fucked into her. A tremendous spasm shook her so hard that she started to fall over, tipping the off-balance Jonas with her.
To Pal, it looked like impending catastrophe. She feared that the upset might end with Jonas facing the doorway and seeing her there.
In panic, she raced back to her room, her hands still dipping in her crotch as she went through the door and closed it behind her.
Too late, she remembered she had not retriggered the safety switch. The current hit her while she was on the move, hunched over to keep her hand busy in her flowing slit. She fell and rolled over, pinning her dripping hand between its nest and the current-laden floor studs.
The charge went through her in giant pulses, shaking her whole body mercilessly. It seemed like years before she was able to make her assaulted muscles obey her against the fluctuating current, but she finally managed to crawl to the bed and pull herself up onto it.
Then she lost consciousness.
She couldn't have been out for longer than a few minutes, she thought, but the shock seemed to have done something to her. It was as if she had been temporarily insane and the shock treatment had brought her out of it.
Whatever the reason, she immediately felt the guilt of her bursting conscience for the way she had let her libido control her actions over the past days. It seemed unbelievable that it could have been she who did those things.
She swore she would never let such emotions get a grip on her again. She would let them kill her before she slipped back into such degradation.
While she was building up her determination, strengthening her defenses against the treacherous lusts inside her, she heard a mocking voice somewhere in her mind. It almost made her give up.
Do you really want to fight against it? Can you honestly say you have ever had such delicious sensations before? Come on, now, let's not kid yourself, Palmyra. Compared to the drab, virginal existence you endured before you came here, you're living in a paradise.
She rolled her head back and forth on her pillow, fighting to separate the two people inside her. When it seemed entirely hopeless to resolve, she again lost consciousness ...
CHAPTER 21
The tropical fruit juice served with her breakfast had been less than tasty, and Pal wondered if her captors got it at a bargain price. She was inclined to think that some of the fruit used in it had been slightly spoiled.
She wasn't feeling too great when Paul entered her room less than an hour later. He had a rather grimly apologetic expression on his face.
"Hate to have to tell you this, Pal, but you're the latest guinea pig for our test lab."
She looked at him for several seconds, trying to understand what was happening. As the import of his words sank in, she began to see Heidi's ravaged body in her imagination.
"Betty's already a test case, and Heidi hasn't recovered enough to start a new series. We have to have someone in reasonably good health, or the results would not be at all conclusive. If this new stuff can be tolerated by your system, it can be farmed out for large scale tests on groups of people by legitimate test labs."
"What ... what kind of ... stuff is it?" Pal could just find her voice to ask the question. "I mean, what's it supposed to do?"
"It's a new approach to an antibiotic that Jonas has been trying to perfect for years. It seems to have no adverse effects on the small animals in the lab, so now we give it the people test."
"When do I start?" she asked, shakily.
"You have," he told her. "It was in your fruit juice this morning. So one of us will be looking in on you from time to time until we're sure you have no problems.
"If you experience any unusual feelings, ring for us. Okay? Pal? Do you understand what I'm telling you?" She had just let her face go blank as she tried to not think of what could happen.
"Yes I understand." She flaked out on the bed and closed her eyes, resigning herself to whatever came along. It was too late to worry about it, whatever she might think.
"Feeling all right?" asked Paul.
"Yes. Just let me rest. Leave me alone, please."
"Okay. Jonas will be in shortly to make a few checks." He went out the door, leaving it open. She closed her eyes tighter, as if it might shut out the reality of her frightening situation.
When came in, he checked her temperature, blood pressure, reflexes, and half a hundred other things-or so it seemed. He seemed quite pleased when he left, humming as he made entries on the clipboard he carried.
From then on, it was a constant boring routine of checkups at all hours of the day and night. Pal was ready to throw herself on the floor and hope the electric current might finish her off while she was in this uncaring mood. But that required effort and will-two things that she didn't seem to have a lot of.
Then she started feeling better, even cheerful, until Jonas had decided that the tests were safely negative, and he was all smiles, too.
Then the little lumps started to pop up in her mouth. Two hours after Jonas examined the first of them, she had them beginning to crop up around her vulva, then in her vaginal passage.
Immediately, Jonas took tissue samples to study. While she waited to learn what he found out about them, they started to itch. By the time he returned from the lab, she was about to go out of her mind from the constant itching sensations.
"For the love of God! Put something on them to stop the itch, won't you?" she begged.
"Soon," he promised. "We have to let it run its course for a while to see what direction it takes without any treatment. That way we learn more about it."
"Learn, hell!" Pal cried out. "If you don't anesthetize me or the places where it itches, I'll tear myself apart with my nails, scratching at it!"
He solved that problem by calling Paul in so the two of them could get her strapped in bed like Heidi had been strapped. It was only after hours of tormenting itches that they gave her a sedative. It put her under right away.
The next thing she knew, she was coming out of it after several days of what they told her had been a delirious half-consciousness caused by the sedative.
Her itching had stopped, but the lumps were all still there. They had not increased in number, nor had they grown in size, but neither had any shrunk or disappeared.
Three days after this, she was considered in no danger, but nothing they tried would make the lumps go away. When Pal was alone, she would think about Heidi, and try to be glad that at least there were no sores on her body where they showed, and where it would be miserable to lie down or sit down on them.
Paul told her that Heidi had died the same day that Pal was put under sedation. That made her more gloomy than ever.
She was given a little more freedom, though, and it helped to be able to walk up and down the hall almost whenever she wished. But it was a little unnerving and quite saddening to pass the room where Heidi had stayed.
It took her several days to get up the nerve to ask a question which seemed to bother her a lot. She wanted to know what they had done with Heidi's body.
"We have a rather efficient incinerator here," said Paul. And that was all the answer she received.
Jonas and Paul both avoided her sexually. �She knew that they might be afraid of what contact with her lumpy tissues could do to them, although Jonas kept insisting that there was nothing at all contagious about them.
She found herself lusting for them, but she refused to beg them to service her. That little pride was all she had left. But it grew more and more difficult each time one of them was near her, to keep from rubbing herself up against them like a bitch in heat.
Then a new face appeared one day. A new girl.
CHAPTER 22
Jonas had started to react a little bit around her once again. Nothing definite, but she could sense his appraisal, and knew that he might break down and use his wonderful dog-pecker on her at any tune. But Paul completely ignored her excepting the times he had to bring her food or take some tests for Jonas.
Then one morning Paul took her to the exercise room and told her to wait there until his return.
When he came through the doorway, he had a pretty little brunette by the arm. He was dressed in his leather costume, and earned his whip.
"Front and center, Pal!" he commanded, and she moved to stand in front of him, head slightly bowed, silent and submissive. Paul spoke to the brunette.
"Pal is Dr. Stillwell's playmate. But I took her cherry. She was a virgin like you when I brought her here. Now, Cindy, you can just watch Pal and learn from her performance."
He held out his alms to Pal, whip weighting one lower than the other.
"Peel!" he ordered.
Pal slipped her fingers under his leather waist-band and pulled downward, peeling the briefs as far as they would go --- to his ankles.
Then Paul rested a hand on her shoulder while she shucked the garment off over his boots.
"Okay, Pal baby, get it!" he barked. Pal let the briefs fall and dropped to her knees, seized Paul's limp cock in her mouth and started to work on it. In a flash, it was stiffening beautifully, and Paul was breathing heavily.
"Now, Cindy! Get over here behind me and lick my ass!" Out of the corner of her eye, Pal could see the shock on the petite brunette's face, and the flick of Paul's whip as it went back over his shoulder to lash her back. With a plaintive little cry, Cindy got down behind Paul.
Pal continued to work at the mouthful of cock, making Paul deepen his breathing considerably. She wondered if the little l loops in her mouth and throat gave him any extra thrill.
She heard the lash again as it struck Cindy someplace, making her cry out once more.
"I said lick my ass, Cindy! Not my cheeks. Now get that tongue in there where it can find out where the center of things really is!"
She could tell by the gasp Paul gave and the simultaneous tensing of his swollen cock that Cindy had inserted her tongue at the right place.
"That's it, Cindy baby! Lick it good! Sink it deep!"
Just then he popped his load, and Pal was busy swallowing the hot gushes of his sticky seed. After a bit, he let himself lie backward on the carpeting.
He took a good rest, then called out without moving a muscle.
"Come give this thing a treatment, Cindy, and make it sit up!"
The brunette crawled over and licked at the limp wreck until it stiffened, then he grabbed a handful of her cunt and fingered around in it for a while.
"On your back, Pal baby!" he yelled. "I'm gonna make a landing." Pal quickly flattened herself out and opened her thighs. Paul lit in their embrace, and his cock hit her almost on target, then he shifted a little, and she guided it in for him.
It felt so good to have something meaty inside her, that she moaned happily as he plunged fiercely into her. He worked hard for a while, then called to Cindy, making her get into position so she had her virgin pussy right up to Paul's mouth. Pal could hear him slurping away at the maiden's meat, groaning as he ate.
Then he was fucking harder and deeper into Pal's pimply vagina, until he exploded spurtingly, filling her with his hot cum. She heard Cindy yelp, and guessed that the Virginal cunt-lips had been bitten. By now, Pal had recognized the routine as the saline one she had shared with Betty, and wondered if the script would end the sane way.
Then he made Cindy lick him to remove Pal's juices and his own stringy cum, after which he made her go to Pal and lick and suck at Pal's hot slippery meat.
Cindy started reluctantly, but before long she was carrying Pal up into the clouds with her hungry eagerness.
Pal finished her third orgasm just as Cindy collapsed. Then Paul ordered her back to her room. As she went, she wondered what Betty was doing, now.
CHAPTER 23
When Betty come into Pal's room, it was a bit of a surprise. Pal hadn't thought about the other girls getting the same ideas she had. But then, Betty had been here longer, of course, and perhaps she was allowed more freedom, like a prison trustee.
Pal welcomed her visitor, then felt rather ill at ease, as if she were a junior whore in some brothel being called on by the hooker with the most seniority.
But after a few initial pleasantries and some cagey hemming and hawing, the two saw that they could trust each others and Pal began pumping Betty, answering Betty's questions in between her own askings and Betty's answers.
"Did they get a new girl, yet?" Betty asked.
"Yes," said Pal. "A little brunette named Cindy. We just put her through the scene you and I shared one time."
"Figures," said Betty. "It's a constant cycle. A cycle of horror."
"What do you mean?" asked Pal. Then she saw the faint red dots scattered over Betty's skin. "what kind of reaction are you having to your tests?"
"Same thing," Betty replied.
"Same as what?"
"Same as every poor girl dragged into this place," said Betty.
"They can't all be the same," Pal protested. "Heidi had those awful sores all over her skin, and you only have those tiny red bumps on you. Now, I have ..."
"Little pimply places in your mouth and pussy," Betty interrupted. "And at first they drove you nuts the way they itched?"
"Yes, how did you know?"
"Honey, Jonas Stillwell may be varying that formula before each new guinea pig gets dosed, but he can't be varying it much. The only difference in the results is the length of time each phase takes in different girls."
"Do you mean that we all ... that Heidi and you and I ...?"
"From what I got out of Heidi before she went a little weird in the last stages, the two girls before her went the same route, and her descriptions matched my early stages ... and yours."
"Oh, my God! Then we're both as good as dead!"
"Probably, Pal. But who knows! He may goof and eliminate the deadly factor in the stuff. Maybe someone along the line will live through it all and get away to report them to the police."
"Oh, Betty! They must both be mad as can be!"
"Honey, I was sure of that a long time ago. But Jonas seems to have mellowed a little lately. He hasn't beaten me for days. Do you suppose he lost that leather cunt-ripper he uses on us?"
"He's never used that on me," Pal told her. "Just that womb-fucking doggy-pecker. And I can hardly wait until he uses it on me again! Doesn't it drive you wild?"
Betty's puzzlement about that was soon cleared up by Pal, and they compared notes until they both had the entire picture, fuzzy as it might be, about the mellowing of Jonas Stillwell.
"He's bound to get it in you pretty soon, Betty," Pal told her. "And while it's in there, you won't care about anything else --- past, present or future."
"Then I hope he screws the crazy thing Into me soon and often," Betty replied. "I don't like to think too much about what's ahead of me. These little measle-marks I have are just like Heidi's were when I came here."
"Oh, Betty! I hope we can see each other more before ... before ..."
"Yeah! Me, too, Pal. But we'll have to be careful. It's hard to get out of the room at the right time to see the others. That damned floor!"
Pal quickly told Betty about the rubber sheet thing, and the safety switch in the frame of the door. Betty was grateful, but angry at herself for not having caught onto the some things.
"I'd better get back before I get caught, Pal," she said.
They kissed like sisters or old friends parting for the summer. At the door, Betty looked back and grinned wryly at Pal.
"I don't have a lot of faith in my luck, honey. But I sure hope you make it. Preach the word, kid! I'm gonna go plan a campaign to get my share of that pointy little womb-raider!"
Then the doorway was empty ...
CHAPTER 24
Pal had begun to feel a tiny bit hopeful of the future. The pimply bumps had almost all disappeared from her vagina, and the ones on her vulva were entirely gone.
She was a little sad, though. Ever after so many days, she missed Betty. Those final weeks had been short, but wildly gratifying. And she was glad that Jonas had thrilled Betty with his fantastic tool right up to the end.
She wondered if Jonas after he found out her symptoms were all gone would make her start on another series of tests. Or if she had a few years left to bitch it up here in this made house.
She still had occasional faint thoughts about the virginal Pal who had been brought here, and the hopes she had once had before the cumulative effects of her humiliating degradation. But as the days passed, she became more uncaring, living only for those improbably voluptuous moments with Jonas.
She went into the little toilet and turned on the light there, then paused in the doorway to examine the tiny reddish specks that seemed to be erupting all over her arms.
She sat down on the throne for a moment as her knees got weak. Then she took a deep breath.
"Well, it tools like it's time to pay a visit to Cindy!"
