Ecstasy for a Slave (Gerda letter) No. 12 from AtomAge Bondage Supplement No. 14 The story so far: Gerda a beautiful Parisien model has been lured to her lover's island in the Mediterranean only to find be is running a large establishment for the training of slaves for millionaire clients. But as she is deeply in love with Le Compte Guy de Rhislaine she reluctantly accepts his harsh training to become his personal slave. After many weeks she has now come to terms with her own maso- chism and is beginning to enjoy her training and punishment. Next day, Gerda resumed her in- creasingly severe training. Her pew whipping suit had only one thickness of heavy latex, and the 150 strokes hurt abominably, keeping her bottom per- manently red, although only the final five strokes were delivered with maxi- mum strength to create new weals across her bottom. But her daily breast beating, with the light balsa cane, was a more subtle torture as the instructor invariably ordered a serving maid to put the dreaded vibrator machine on her so that her nipples hardened and throughout the final strokes she would achieve a huge pleasure. The days passed and the weeks slipped by. No television or radio was allowed, even calendars being forbidden. Gerda had formed a close friendship with Yvette and Marcia, and she now felt proud to be able to enter the Slaves' Rest Room, with its attractive bar and comfortable furniture, and be treated as an equal during her off-duty periods. It was seven o'clock one evening, her daily training finished, when Maria entered the large room and came up to Gerda. As usual, the serving-maid was securely gagged. She handed a note to her mistress. 'Dear Mistress. I have orders to dress you for dinner with your Master, so don't go to the Slaves' Dining Room. You have to report at eight, so can you come upstairs now?" Gerda regarded her maid fondly, wondering how she could serve through the day so severely gagged under her tight mask. she felt a thrill of expectation that she was to dine with Guy, secretly hoping tonight he would make love to her as she was now a fully qualified slave, although not yet in the final top-level category. She said her farewells to her friends at the bar, amidst ribald comments, and took the elevator up to her quarters on the fourth floor, delighting in the swish of her latex caftan and the subtle play of the rod up her bottom. She had dined with the Le Compte on several occasions, and each time he had allowed her to remove her mask and gloves, a singular honour. As soon as Maria was inside Gerda's quarters, she removed her gag, thank- fully placing the large rubber wedge on a table. "Dear Mistress" she said hurriedly, "This is not going to be pleasant for you. Le Compte is in a filthy mood and it could be a bad evening! Please, please, go along with it, you're doing so well and you could get your top-level slavehood in another three months or so, so don't get angry tonight. Promise?" Gerda looked at her maid affection- ately. "Of course I won't! What's so terrible about tonight? I've had dinner with him several times, and always he's been just like his old self when we dined at Alexandre in Paris. Why should it be different tonight? " Maria's masked face was expression- less, but her voice conveyed her doubts. "Two of the serving-maids tried to escape on the provision boat today, Mistress. They were found, of course, but it's the first time anyone has actually tried to get off the island, and Le Compte takes it as personal affront. He feels he's failed somehow. Of course, they'll be horribly punished, but nobody has ever wanted to escape, after the first few days. " Gerda knew this to be true. Every slave, serving-maid, Instructor and employee on the island had his or her own bank account in Switzerland, into which a substantial salary was paid every month. Every member of the large organization had been carefully chosen and vetted by Guy himself. Mostly they had been lonely people, relative failures in life, without ties or families. Gerda's own serving-maid, Maria, had been a teenage prostitute, badly beaten up by a prospective client when Le Compte had found her Iying in a parking lot in Rome. "O.K., so the Boss-man's ego is hurt! I'll soothe his shattered nerves, now just get me dressed. Anything special? " "Yes, Mistress, he wants you tonight as a classical Parisien tart ! " INTERESTING EVENING With slight misgivings, Gerda dressed in the outfit Maria had laid out. High black latex stockings, a number 6 Rod chained up her bottom, covered with thin latex pants. A short and skin-tight black rubber dress, high-necked and long-sleeved, the hem of the dress barely covering the top of her stockings. Long black silk gloves, mackintosh-lined, and six-inch heeled patent shoes. A red belt in heavy leather pulled her waist into a narrow nineteen inches. She adjusted the neck of her latex mask over the high collar of the tarty dress, and surveyed herself in the full-length mirror. She had to admit it looked good. Her long legs and slim figure accentuated the form-fitting costume, her breasts straining out against the black rubber. She took a few careful steps across the room in her high heels, the tight dress making it necessary to walk with small strides. She felt the Rod smacking gently in its grease, and suddenly felt immensely aware of her power and sex. She turned to Maria. "Gag yourself, and lead on, MacDuff! I have a feeling it will be an interesting evening! " LE COMPIE ENTERTAINS She sat in a deep leather armchair in Guy's private drawing-room, tastefully furnished with antiques and with two walls lined with book shelves. Above the Adam fireplace hung a Durer and two Fragonards, and to one side three small Chagalls modestly adorned the door to a concealed bar. Le Compte was not dressed in his usual form-fitting leather suit, which she adored. Instead, he was clad in a tight latex sweater with roll-top neck, a jacket of smooth rubber, and sinister heavy rubber breeches tucked into gleaming riding boots, all in polished black. As he brought across his glass of whisky the costume rustled loudly. "No doubt you have heard that two serving-maids tried to escape today," he said irritably. "You know why? Because Miss Dodds had refused their application to be trained as slaves! Incredible! " Gerda wished he would offer her a drink. "That was the only reason, Master?" (How easy it is, she thought, to address her lover as such, how much has changed over the past months!) "They were really trying to get back to the mainland?" "No! They were dissatisfied with their servitude, they want to be trained as Top-Level slaves, and to meet a rich Master! Well, first they will suffer for their insolence and disobedience, then we may see if they are slave material. I thought this might amuse you! " PUNISHED He pressed a bell to the side of the mantlepiece, and in a few seconds two Instructors carried in the guilty serving-maids. Gerda stared at the sight. They were both dressed in heavy white rubber suits, and were secured back to back. The myriad of straps held them tightly together at booted ankles, calves, knees, thighs, pelvis, waist, breasts, shoulders and neck. Heavy rubber straightjackets tightly bound their crossed arms over their chests. The thick rubber hoods were latticed by a cruel gag-harness, with only nose tubes through which to breathe. The Instructors carried them to a heavy wooden apparatus at the rear of the room, attaching a high- hanging chain through metal rings on top their gag-harness and padlocking it up tightly so that the wretched girls were forced to stand on their booted toes. "We'll find out just how much punish- ment they can take," Guy said angrily, "Serving-maids usually are too scared to become slaves, lacking the responsi- bility. It's difficult for you to see, but they are wearing a number seven V- shaped joined Rod up their bottoms, so every movement one makes is reflected up the rear of the other. Their pressure gags are blown up to maxi- mum, so at least I will dine without interruption. " Gerda watched her Master, sensing his anger and cruelty, smacking gently on her Rod and longing to assuage his pain. She felt sexually weak as she watched his black breeches rustle and crinkle as he paces the room. He turned on her suddenly. "You're a bitch, slave Gerda! You're trying to defy me! You passed your first Training Exam easily and now you think you know it all. We'll see about that! From now on you will receive special treatment. I'll break you down before you can become my personal slave. Tonight you will kneel between my legs whilst I dine! " An hour later, a much-chastened Gerda was allowed to stand up, stiffly at attention, as her Master finished his dinner, dispensed by one of the waitress serving-maids. Her knees ached, and her mask was running with perspiration from being clamped between Le Compte's heavy rubber breeches. Several times she had felt his Supreme Master stir inside the black rubber, and willingly she would have given him a Pleasure; but she sensed his anger would not allow him to indulge himself at the moment. PAIN AND PUNSHMENT She stood before him, aware of the sexual effect of her Apache costume, while he helped himself to coffee at a side table. The only sound was the muffled groans of the tightly-hung serving-maids as they swung on tip-toe, strapped helplessly together, their Rods teasing each other as they moved. Le Compte leant forward and felt Gerda's Rod inside the firm latex pants. Despite her annoyance at not being allowed to dine with her Master, she swayed forward in ecstasy as he pushed it further into her bottom. "You like your Rod, slave? Now that you've taken the final one, the massive number 10, you will soon serve me sexually. Does that please you?" "Yes, Master," she moaned, "I love my Rods, the bigger they are the better it feels! I feel naked without it. Please take me soon! " "I will," he murmured, "Meanwhile your second stage of Training will be increased in severity. I want you to be able to accept any degree of Pain or Punishment. Tomorrow you will report to The Executioner to receive Advanced Suffocation." WILDLY HAPPY Unexpectedly he stood up and crossed to Gerda, taking her in his arms and kissing her gently through her mask. "Always remember, dear slave, in your torment, that I love you deeply. But because I do, you must suffer more than any other slave; you must be the finest, the ultimate Top-Level Slave, serving only your Master! Remember that, always! Now you may sit and drink a cognac before you leave for your ordeal. " In a euphoric haze of delight and love, Gerda sank into a deep armchair. Just so long as he was hers, and re-assured her, she would suffer even death at his hands. She felt wildly happy, a deep content stealing through her body. she could face any torture or training now, knowing that her Master loved her. She slept soundly that night, although erotic dreams crowded her subcon- scious mind. Guy was whipping her, long and vicious strokes, but she could feel no pain and was mocking him to whip harder, until he was sweating and exhausted. Then she took the whip from his nerveless hand and ordered him to bend over in his tight white leather suit. Luckily this blasphemous dream faded and now she herself was the demonic mistress, with the blonde Executioner her grovelling victim, pleading for mercy. She awoke feeling refreshed and highly contented with her dreams. She took a shower and accepted her daily enema from Maria, returning to her sitting-room to find the maid lay- ing out her reporting costume for the day's training. She remembered with slight misgivings that Guy had told her she would receive the Advanced Suffocation Treatment. Although now used to her daily Suffocation, it both excited and re- pelled her. She feared the thought of it, but the actual application gave her an intense sexual thrill. What would the 'advanced' treatment entail? Better not to think about it. Maria had laid out the heavy black latex body-suit with the nipple holes. As she slipped into it and Maria zipped it up the back, Gerda gave a shudder of apprehension. There was something horribly humiliating about her breasts poking through the tight material, blatantly offering themselves for punishment. But again, the very tight- ness and shame gave her a pleasantly sick feeling in her stomach. ADVANCED TRAINING She allowed Maria to lace on gleaming red leather thigh-boots, with pencil- thin heels, and a matching red corselet which pushed out her firm breasts even further; then a long pair of thin latex gloves over which Maria pulled a pair of heavy rubber gauntlets. "Why the extra gloves?" demanded Gerda. Maria giggled nervously. "I'm sorry, Mistress; orders! I think it's to prevent you chafing your wrists if you struggle too much." It sounded ominous. Maria zipped on Gerda's slave-mask, then attached a heavy leather collar and laced it tightly into position, making it impossible for her Mistress to turn her head. On the back of the collar was a steel ring. Despite her misgivings, Gerda felt refreshed and at ease as she strode down the corridor in her high heels, delighting in the faint creaking of her tight boots and the feeling of confidence they gave her. She knew she presented an erotic sight with her tiny waist, and breasts straining through the tight latex suit. She still found it difficult to believe she was the same girl who, weeks before, had rebelled against wearing a rubber costume. She realised she had a definite purpose in life now, and was looking forward to her Advanced Training, however severe. She reported downstairs exactly on time to the small Training room marked with a large 'S' on the door. Inside, the Executioner and a serving- maid were waiting. Today the dreaded blonde lesbian was dressed entirely in white, a shining vinyl suit and mask, her long thick pony-tail cascading from a small hole at the rear of her hood. Only her hands were visible, and Gerda gave a slight shudder as she remembered that a rule of the Establishment was that, as a safety pre- caution, anyone administering Suffocation must not be hampered by gloves. STRAPS AND CLAMPS "Good morning, slave Gerda! I trust you had a restful night and you are ready for your Advanced Training?" Gerda hated the Executioner, who had been the one to cut off her long hair when she arrived on the island, but she had learnt a grudging admiration for this dynamic woman who seemed to have an instinct as to the extent a slave could suffer. Also she appreciated the girl had never forced her lesbian tendencies on her helpless victims. "A most restful night, thank you!" Gerda smiled through her mask, determined not to be cowed, "I dreamt of you, Madam!" For a moment she thought she had gone too far; the Executioner's eyes seemed to blaze through her mask, then abruptly she smiled. "Good for you, slave! I have always told Le Compte you were excellent material. Now let's make you comfortable. " Obediently Gerda sat in the heavy wooden chair bolted to the floor. From dozens of assorted-length straps hanging neatly on the wall the serving- maid expertly selected several and proceeded to bind Gerda's wrists, elbows, ankles, calves, and thighs to that chair; the straps were wide and thick, no human power could have snapped them. Then longer straps, passed round the back of the chair over her stomach, waist, and under her armpits. Finally, Gerda's collar was padlocked to a steel ring on the top of the short-backed chair, the back of which came up only to her neck. "As you will notice," the Executioner said conversationally, "Your chest is free so that you can breathe easily. However, in this advanced suffocation, you must also be aware of pain, so you will wear the nipple clamps. " PERFECT SLAVE She brought over two heavy steel cups and fitted them over Gerda's strainng nipples. Each cup had a small hole in the centre, with two ratchet screws at the top and bottom. After pushing each cup tightly against the breasts, she screwed up the bottom part of the instrument until the steel shell com- pressed the rear of the breasts and forced them even further forward, the nipples being pushed cruelly out the front hole. Then she tightened the front screw, pinioning the nipples forward. Gerda gave a faint groan of pain. The Executioner gave each distended nipple a vicious tweak, causing Gerda to writhe in her bondage. "One day I will have the pleasure of giving you a very severe punishment like that, dear slave! You'll wear these cups, then strong threads will be attached to your nipples and you'll be hauled onto your toes and left hanging like that, your arms secured behind you. After about twelve minutes the strain on your toes becomes intolerable. Should you lower your feet, they're only stockinged, of course, you risk de-nippling yourself. It's very amusing ! " Gerda shivered, despite her former confidence. It was another reason why she must become a perfect slave, to avoid such Punishment. She tried to ignore her cruelly crushed breasts and concentrate on her love for Guy. She must suffer for him, he had told her so! Suddenly a black latex hood was placed over her head and darkness enveloped her. She felt it being strapped round her neck and she forced herself to breathe slowly and evenly, knowing it would be at least a minute before the oxygen inside was used up. She tried to console herself with the knowledge that the Executioner, by the Rules, must always remain close by, to give instant succour if faintness or sickness occurred. She felt the loose latex hood against her mask and face as she breathed in and out, then the familiar warmth came and she felt the panicky feeling as her breathing quickened, her lungs being starved of life-giving air. In another twenty seconds she was writhing in her bonds, futilely struggling to release her hands to tear away the suffocating hood, gasping frantically as the now useless air coursed in and out of her lungs. She tried to scream, to beg for mercy, to promise anything just to be able to breathe again, then blessedly she felt the throat strap being released and beautiful life-giving oxygen flooded into her as the hood was removed. "Just a warm-up," she heard her tormentor say, "Get back your breath and we'll fix you into the official Suffocation Helmet! " SUFFOCATION She felt a heavy rubber hood being drawn over her masked head and laced tightly round her neck. A thick tube forced itself into her mouth, and blessed air flowed in while she regained her breath. She realised the tight hood now completely restricted her nose. She had almost regained her com- posure when she felt the nipple clamps being screwed tighter until the pain caused her to moan in agony. "Now, slave Gerda, for your advanced Suffocation! Your breathing tube has a nozzle on the outside, and gradually I will reduce your supply of air. You will receive this treatment each day, but it will be varied. Some days, you will be able to withstand it; other days, it will continue until you actually pass out. But, your test will be always to undergo the Treatment, whatever the outcome. Any time you call out for mercy, I shall release you, but it will be a mark against you. Only when you can control natural fear, even unto unconsciousness, will you have passed this Top-Level Exam. At all times, the Doctor will be standing by. " Inwardly, Gerda, fought down her fear. She knew only too well that how- ever strong her resolve, she would eventually panic when the terrible fear of suffocation overcame her. There was no way she could avoid that claustrophobic feeling of being unable to breathe and the awful terror set in; when reason became a broken instrument and nothing mattered except the vital necessity of obtaining oxygen in the lungs. She heard the Executioner walk in front of her, costume rustling as she moved. Then she felt the air passage restricted, and she forced herself again to breathe slowly, as if this would lengthen her life-span, knowing it was only prolonging her own agony. She forgot the pain in her breasts in the effort to concentrate on the limited air infiltrating into the helmet. She felt the nozzle being tightened, and a few seconds later realised there was no more oxygen. She started heaving and gasping, her frantic breath coming quicker, words incoherently tumbling through the breathing tube. She could hear the rubber hood crinkling in and out, then the stars began to flash and she heard herself screaming for mercy. to be continued
