Kate ran her finger lightly back and forth across Tempest's lips. "Do you understand that these belong to me?"
Tempest tensed at the question. She knew that she was only allowed one of two phrases in response to questions yet it was so distasteful to her to utter them. She paused and Kate allowed her the time to adjust. Kate knew that her new girl's mind must be in turmoil. Tempest trembled and closed her eyes out of shame before answering.
"Yes, Mistress."
Kate smiled and leaned forward, kissing Tempest again. Tempest opened her eyes and glanced around. Her four friends were staring at her, shocked at her apparent surrender. Kate reached out to claim Tempest's breasts again, lifting the heavy orbs with her splayed fingers.
"Do you accept that these are now my property?"
Again, Tempest was torn. She looked down, seeing her breasts held by the woman who she used to consider a friend. Again, she wanted to resist. But, in the end, she decided to fight another day. She took a deep breath and looked up into Kate's eyes.
"Yes, Mistress."
Just then, the door opened and another leather clad woman walked in. "Hi, Kate. Nice catch you have there."
"Thanks, Julia. Which one did you buy?"
"The redhead. I wanted to get to meet her before I leave and have her shipped home." All five of the naked women gasped at those words. This was too unbelievable! First they were kidnapped. Then they were stripped. Then they were sold. And if that wasn't enough abuse, now they learned that they could be shipped somewhere like they were a parcel.
"Oh, she's a beauty," commented Kate. "Hell, they all are. This is the best collection that has ever been offered."
"Yeah, I agree," said Julia. "I had a hard time making up my mind. Oh, I have to tell you. There's quite a commotion outside at the settlement desk. It seems that one of the buyers is short on funds. She's trying to scrape enough together right now."
"Oh my," said Kate. "Not good."
"You know what that means, don't you?" asked Julia.
Kate laughed. "Of course I know what that means. I drafted the membership agreement."
"Oh, I keep forgetting. Well, if someone comes up with the price, they get a two-fer."
"Who is it?" asked Kate.
"I don't know her name. She's French. And she's pretty cute too."
"Which one did she buy?"
"The blonde," said Julia, pointing to Elke.
"Hmm," pondered Kate. Then she turned back to Tempest. "You might have a slave sister or two."
Each member had to sign an agreement before joining and being allowed to participate in the auctions. One of the rules stated that transactions needed to be completed within one hour of the end of an auction. Failure to successfully complete a transaction resulted in the forfeiture of freedom for the would-be buyer.
This could play out in one of two ways. First, if someone was willing to buy the girl that the would-be buyer had won the bidding on, that person would get the girl and the would-be buyer. Hence, the two-fer. The second way that it could play out is that the girl and the bidder would be held over until the next auction and then sold. The organization much preferred the first outcome, however. It helped with the cash flow and meant that valuable merchandise would not have to sit on the shelf as inventory, collecting dust.
Julia walked past each of the new slaves, caressing and pinching and probing the naked flesh as she went. She would have bought the whole lot of them if she could have. They were all spectacular. Even the one who was pregnant was stunning. Julia did not much care for what pregnancy did to a woman's body, but even with the bulging belly, this one was striking. She finally reached Alaine and started her close up inspection.
"I think I'll go back and check out the French princess," said Kate. "Don't let my girl get away."
Julia laughed, seeing Tempest was securely bound to her pole. "I'll make sure she doesn't move. Do you mind if I look her over more closely while you're gone?"
"Be my guest," said Kate over her shoulder as she disappeared through the door.
Julia came back to Tempest and ran her hands down the girl's sides, enjoying the silkiness of the soft, warm flesh. She ran her palms over the hips and reached behind, grasping a firm buttock in each hand. "You certainly had a lot of admirers out there, little one. And if I had not just bought one of your friends, I would have been one more bidding for you."
Tempest decided that she had better remain silent. She was seething at the way she was being treated. And being called little one did not improve her mood; especially since she was at least six inches taller than the woman who had just called her that. The groping did not help her attitude either. It was all just so infuriating.
Tempest was not finished suffering, however. She felt fingers at her sex and cringed as they parted her folds. She did not think that she could ever get used to this kind of intimate fondling at the hands of another. When Julia pushed a finger into her sex, she raised up on her tiptoes to try to escape the probing but the finger just moved with her.
The door opened and a man and woman entered. They appeared to be in their early forties. "You picked a nice one," the man said.
"Oh, she's not mine. The redhead over there belongs to me. I'm just sampling this one before Kate takes her away."
"She's a beauty too," said the woman. "We bought this one." Tempest looked over and saw that they had purchased Kim. "She's going to be a starter slave for our children. We'll probably bring her back here for resale in a few years when they head off for college."
"You have a beauty also. I'm sure your kids will have lots of fun with her."
"This is insanity!" thought Tempest. Six women had just had their lives and careers and hopes and aspirations taken away from them. And these other people were milling about checking out the merchandise and chatting nonchalantly as if they were at a neighborhood bake sale. "Damn!" thought Tempest. "Now even I'm using the word merchandise."
Kate came back in for a moment. "I'm having Tempest delivered to my room. I put in a bid on the little Frenchie and the blonde. She has another ten minutes to cover her offer and I'm going to stick around to see how it turns out."
"Okay," said Julia as she was slowly sawing her finger in and out of Tempest's sex, which was very wet at this point because of all of the touching and stimulation. "Good luck."
Kate disappeared and, eventually, Julia went back to appraising her own girl. Tempest watched as poor Alaine suffered the same indignities she had been putting up with. A man showed up to collect Tempest and he led her off. She was delivered to Kate's room where he bound her to an identical pole in the middle of the sitting room.
Chapter 5
The French woman was unable to arrange for the 300,000 pounds. She never even came close. It appeared that her account had recently been emptied, which did not sit well with the organization. With five minutes remaining until the deadline, she ran, hoping that she could escape her fate. It was foolish on her part. There really was nowhere to run on the small island. She was brought back and stripped.
Kate made a quick inspection of the former mistress. She was a pretty little thing and young to be trying to buy such an expensive slave. Kate estimated her age to be about that of Tempest's. Kate had seen her in the auction and had noticed how beautiful she was. Aside from her beauty, though, she appeared to be nothing but bad attitude. Kate realized that this girl would be fun to break but she would require a lot of time and that would take time away from her time with Tempest. She knew what she would do with Monique.
