Each deepening insertion of the "device", as Anton called it, subjected Shannon's asshole to strain she could barely endure. In fact sometimes she couldn't and passed out as the platform was lowered. Every time, though she woke up with it buried even further into her.
Vanessa visited frequently, to change her pot, wash her, and do her hair and makeup. Vanessa also made sure Shannon's asshole was fully lubricated with Anton's own mixture of petroleum jelly and antibiotics. Anton explained that she needed full anal health to complete the training.
A few times Shannon had whispered to Vanessa, trying to start a conversation, but Vanessa simply said "Sssshhh" and continued washing.
Even without words, the care Vanessa gave her was the thing she now looked forward to. Warm, soapy water splashed over her, gentle hands drew the cloth over her body, making her still feel somewhat human. The best part was drying off. Soft, fluffy towels soaked up water after a brief chill and Vanessa even wrapped her with them while she dried her hair and applied her makeup.
The only thing Shannon dreaded was getting her pussy waxed and Shannon knew today her hair was long enough for another session. The bath was done and Shannon was wrapped in towels when Vanessa got the wax ready.
It had been applied and was just about to be torn off when Shannon said "Vanessa?" Vanessa looked up, but didn't answer. "Vanessa, will you please kiss me?"
Vanessa smiled, stood up and pressed her open mouth to Shannon's. Their tongues played against each other until Vanessa pulled away and said "we have to finish this first."
The wax was as unpleasant as ever, but the feel of Vanessa's tongue on hers had transported Shannon to another place, if only for a moment. Minutes later Shannon's pussy was completely bare, and Vanessa put her hand behind Shannon's head.
Vanessa looked deep into Shannon's eyes and said "I love you." They kissed and kissed and Vanessa's fingers rubbed Shannon's clit. Gentle fingers that knew exactly what to do soon had Shannon panting and ready to come.
Just as Shannon was about to climax, Vanessa whispered in her ear, "Remember sweetheart, quietly."
With a barely audible moan, Shannon came repeatedly. After Shannon came she kissed Vanessa on the forehead and said "I love you too, Vanessa." After that, slow clapping came from the shadows.
Anton strode into the light and said, "Good, good. This is wonderful. I'm so glad you two are getting along. Come to me, pet." Vanessa stepped to his side as he continued, "We're a family, remember, and families love each other."
Then he took Vanessa's face with both hands and kissed her passionately. Afterward Anton and Vanessa turned the wheels on the platform and lowered Vanessa to another level of pain.
