The story so far: Gerda, a top Parisien model, has agreed to spend a holiday with her lover, Le Compte Guy de Rhislain, on his island off the Italian coast. Upon arrival, she finds she is a virtual prisoner, to be trained in rubber and bondage as a slave. On her first evening, Guy treats her as an honoured guest, although she has been prepared in a latex evening gown by her gagged maid, Maria. Still thinking it may all be a practical joke, she is put to bed by Maria, only to find that her heavy white rubber sleeping suit has been padlocked onto her. She awoke to find the Mediterranean sunlight flooding through the windows, tiny motes of dust highlighted by the rays. she stirred uneasily, memory crowding back, feeling the rubber sack in which she was encased wet with perspiration. Anger trembled through her body as she remembered the humiliation of being locked into the heavy rubber suit with the gloves attached. The door of her luxurious bedroom opened and Maria entered. She was dressed now in a skin-tight black latex suit, a steel belt encircling her small waist, and an open-face hood covering her head. Under this she wore her usual leather gag. she minced across on high stiletto heels, carrying a tray in her black gloved hands. Gerda was in no mood for social polite- ness. She sat up, throwing back the rubber sheets. "-This has gone far enough! Get me out of this ridiculous outfit and find my suitcases. I'm leaving immediately." Maria put down the tray, consisting of orange juice, coffee, and toast and marmalade, then picked up her pad and pencil and wrote rapidly: Dear Mistress, don't fight it! He owns the island and there's no way you can leave. I'll release you now and you have half an hour to eat and have a bath, then Miss Dodds will arrive to give you an enema. Please don't resist, otherwise you will incur demerits. And especially listen to her, she can be very helpful or an old bitch. After your wash-out I'll be back to dress you for your first training class. Good luck!" Gerda read the note with a feeling of complete unreality, hardly realising Maria had unlocked the neck padlock and zipped down her sleeping suit. It was an utterly impossible situation, something which could never happen in this day and age. she was 26, a sophis- ticated model, and there was no way she wouldsubmit to a stranger giving her an enema! The very thought revolted her. She stepped out of the sleeping suit and ungraciously accepted the mackintosh robe which Maria held for her. Her feelings for Guy were mixed; he had been a kind and tender lover in Paris, with an old-fashioned display of man- ners which she found attractive and endearing. But last night she had heard him talk in ? very different manner, clad in tight leather and superb in his own masculine way. she still adored him, but it was this talk of subjugation, humilia- tion, and training as a slave which upset her.' fShe poured out the coffee and munched some buttered toast while she strode around the bedroom, annoyed that the long rubber-lined dressing-gown felt sexily cold against her skin. She had taken a bath, again admiring the green marble and the gold taps, watching the expensive yellow bath salts being whipped from grains into lovely- smelling bubbles, and had dried herself on one of the thick towels, when the door was abruptly opened and a woman and two men entered the bedroom, followed by a girl dressed from head to toe in a white latex uniform. "I am Miss Dodds," announced the woman, a matronly figure in her fifties, "You can love me or hate me. At my waist I carry a short whip, but on the other side is a flask of vodka. You will make your own choice as to which you will receive, but always realist I have complete authority over you and will never hesitate to carry out my duties." Gerda stared at her with surprise. Miss Dodds was dressed in a rubber uniform, but her serene face and cheery smile belied the threat in her voice. She went on: "I should have received you last night, but it was a busy evening. Now, every morning I will give you an enema, because every slave must be very clean for her training, so I would appreciate your co-operation. It's better for you, because otherwise my two assistants will cause it to happen anyway, and under the rules you will receive an extra pint- oh dear! I should use the continental terms - a half litre. Now will you come over here and bend over?" Her long red rubber apron rustled importantly as she moved across to an armchair. Gerda stared hypnotised as she saw the long rubber tubes and liquid bottles which the nurse was carrying. The two male assistants were dressed in tight green rubber uniforms with long red aprons which covered them from neck to ankle. "You're mad!" Gerda breathed, "This is all a nightmare! I've never had an - an - enema! I won't and I demand that you return me to the mainland !" Miss Dodds smiled briefly. "Oh dear ! I only hope for your own sake that you will not be so capricious in your train- ing. Horst, 1 think we need Programme Training number Twelve !" before Gerda realised what was happen- ing one of the green-clad men had seized her arms while the other slipped a loose rubber hood over her head and secured it round her neck with a strap; The hood was thick and cold and she was totally encased in darkness. She found her breath becoming shorter and a panic rose as she imagined hersel suffocating. Dimly through her struggles she heard Miss Dodds' voice. "I warn you to relax, slave. These punishment hoods have tiny holes in the back, just enough to give you air if you breathe slowly and carefully. If you struggle you'll find yourself suffocating !" With a supreme effort Gerda forced herself to relax, telling herself they would not want a dead body on the island. She allowed her captor to lead her out of the room and guide her down a long passage. She could hear the swish and rustle of the others following them. she fought back tears inside the now hot, smooth, rubber hood; as Miss Dodds had said, breathing was easier if one took long slow breaths. Miss Dodds unlocked a door and they entered a Training Room. In the centre, under large operating lights, stood a curious contrivance resembling a small gym-horse with adjustable metal legs. The centre part was made of thick padded leather and at one end a heavy padded face-mask was attached. Gerda, of course, could see none of this. Her gown was stripped off her and firm rubber-gloved hands forced her to bend over the rack. she felt her legs being pulled apart and tightly strapped to two of the metal legs. Her arms were pulled forward and down and secured to the other legs. A heavy leather strap was passed round her waist and another round the top of her thighs so that she was completely clamped to the rack, her bare bottom held high in the air. Abruptly her hood was removed and before she could cry out her head was forced down into the face-mask, and three straps passed round her head and neck. As the straps were tightened her head was pushed tightly against the con- tours of the padded mask, and she felt the wedge of a gag forcing itself into her mouth. Her nose fitted into a small hollow and thankfully she found she could breathe through a hole. The rubber wedge filled her mouth, and there was no way she could move her head by'even a fraction. Miss Dodds' voice, muffed by the thick clamped face,mask1 came to Gerda's ears. " You are now in one of the less- sophisticated punishment racks. They are used for whippings, enemas, and sometimes just for a few hours medita- tion when a slave needs to be reminded of her sins. It is not for me to instruct you in your training, but I would advise you never to refuse an order, you see how quickly and thoroughly you can be overcome. Now, you will take your enema like a good slave, and I trust tomorrow morning you will accept it without the necessity of putting you on a rack." Miss Dodds turned to the nurse, a pretty. Asian girl dressed in a white latex uniform, with high white boots, a heavy white rubber apron, and long black latex gloves. She was wearing the standard leather gag tightly strapped round her head. "Hang up the enema bag and fill it with exactly one litre. Keep the tap turned off until I'm ready." She uncoiled several feet of rubber tub- ing, one end of which the nurse attached to the tap on the large water-bag. The other end Miss Dodds dipped into a jar of mild disinfectant then smeared the first eight inches with Vaseline. She approached the exposed bottom of Gerda and expertly inserted the tube. Meanwhile the two male attendants stood rigidly to attention with their backs to the rack. Gerda felt the tube slip up her rear and her soul cried out in despair. The ignominy of being strapped down, naked, in front of these loathsome people made her proud mind writhe. The rigid face-mask encasing her head was so tight it even pressed against her eyelids, and the rubber wedge reduced her screams to a muffled grunt. She could feel her saliva wetting the hard rubber interior of the mask, and her tears lubricated her black prison. Her muscles shrieked in pain as she strained against the powerful straps which held her inflexibly in position. In a haze of self-pity and anger she heard Miss Dodds give an order to the nurse, and next moment in a flash of pure astonishment, she felt the cold soapy water flowing remorselessly into her. Exhausted, she lay supinely within her straps for what seemed an eternity, her rictual muscles too weak even to attempt to stop the flow. she quivered briefly as she felt the tube being with- drawn, then Miss Dodds' gloved hand inserted a rubber plug in her bottom and she felt the blessed relief as the straps were undone. "Right, slave, you will be returned to your quarters, and today you may use your own bathroom. Maria will have laid out your first training costume, and you will be dressed and ready to report in exactly half an hour from now. I beg you, my dear, do not fight your destiny any longer. This is very mild bondage compared with what you can, and will, experience if you defy orders." l Gerda felt the face-mask being un- strapped, and a cool cloth was applied gently to her face. The rubber gown was wrapped around her and zipped up. she stood groggily, her eyes still closed, not wanting to face the humiliation of the group. Her long fair hair felt damp with perspiration as she pulled it back off her forehead. She felt a soft touch on her elbow and opened her eyes, blinking in the bright lights. The attendants had departed. Miss Dodds smiled at her briefly and patted her shoulder, then rustled from the room. The nurse, her wide Chinese eyes filled with understanding, motioned her to the door. In a daze, Gerda walked into the corridor, feeling the rubber dressing-gown soft and cool against her shin. Now the enema was taking effect and she was suddenly aware of the r ubber bung in her behind. Urgently she followed the nurse along the corridor, praying that she would reach her bed- room in time. Ten minutes later Gerda came out of the bathroom, refreshed but still weak from the stringent effects of the enema. Maria was waiting by the bed, her dainty figure now encased in what Gerda was to learn was the normal maids' serving costume. It was a tight-fitting dark red latex suit, high-heeled red boots, long gloves, and a heavy leather belt. Her head was completely encased in a thin red latex mask, leaving only eyeholes and breathing holes. The hood was sealed on tothe high neck of the suit by a heavy leather collar, padlocked at the front. Across the forehead of the mask in black letters, was stencilled the maid's name, Maria. She made a brief curtsey and indicated the garments on the bed. Gerda groaned, without spirit. "For God's sake, can't you speak? Are you gagged under that mask ?" Maria nodded, again indicating the costume, then miming a glance at a non- existent wrist-watch, pointing to the time. For a moment Gerda thought of refusing, but the memory of.the two strong attendants and the manner in which they had overpowered her and so easily rendered her helpless made her shudder with fear. Briefly she signalled Maria to help her. First, she put on a pair of black latex stockings which came high up on her thighs. Carefully Maria smoothed them even higher until there was no wrinkle. Then a very short and tight dress of the same material, barely covering her bottom. The sleeves ended in short zips, and Maria gave Gerda a pair of thin latex gloves to slide on. When they were in place, the maid zipped up the tight wrists of the dress over the gloves, making them irremovable. Next came a short corset in boned leather which Maria pulled agonisingly tight, crushing Gerda's waist into a slim nineteen inches; then a thin latex mask which Maria pulled over Gerda's head and zipped down the back, being careful to smooth the golden hair to avoid catch- ing it in the zip. The mask fitted tightly but comfortably, and Gerda was relieved that she could see perfectly, nose holes and a shaped mouth enabling her to breathe easily. Over the neck of the hood Maria fastened a wide leather collar; it was not too tight but Gerda found she was unable to turn her head. She slid into the stiletto-heeled black shoes and then Maria turned to the wardrobe of shelves and picked up a short rod made of smooth plastic, from which two gold chains dangled. She indicated to Gerda to bend over. This was going too far; Gerda shook her masked head defiantly. "You're not putting that up my arse! No way !" Maria laid down the rod and picked up the pad and pencil, scribbling rapidly: Please, don't make it bad on yourself! All slaves have to wear a rod for reporting, you'll only get punished if you don't. You'll get used to it at once ! Gerda thought of the rack in the other room and shuddered. Meekly she bent over. Maria greased the rod and gently pushed it up the exposed bottom. When it was well in she hooked one chain to the back of the corset, then passed the other chain between Gerda's legs and up to a hook in front. Finally she picked up a pair of thick white rubber bloomers. Gerda held them up with disgust. "Not very glamorous, are they? And why not in black?" Again Maria wrote busily. It's the mark of a new slave. Eventuallyyou'll be allowed other c olours Reluctantly Gerda sat on the bed, feeling the rod ease further into her With difficulty, because of the rigid corset, she slid them over her feet and up her legs. The broad waistband clamped round her corsetted waist, hiding the gold chains, and the legs of the garment came tightly to just above her knees. She moved over to the long mirror with a loud crackling of loose, heavy rubber. The effect was striking. Towering on her heels, she was entirely encased in gleaming black except for the strange breeches effect of the white bloomers. She walked across the room, feeling the rod gently moving in its grease as the chains tightened and slackened. The sensation, despite her apprehension and anger, was extraordinarily sexy. she wondered if she was really so kinky; even the heavy smooth rubber bloomers gave her a kind of shameful pleasure. She felt a sudden flush of determination as she thought of Guy's treachery. If she was to be held an unwilling prisoner she would not give him the satisfaction of watching her beg for mercy ! She was no weak-kneed girl who would give in to his threats and become his adoring 'slave'! She would play along with his game - she had no alternative - until she could find out more about this mysterious island and a way of escape. Then, dear Compte Guy de Rhislain, we'll see how you explain all this jazz to the police ! Despite the rigidly-laced corset, she now felt almost at ease in her costume. She marched over to the door. "Come on, Maria, the half hour is up. I'm dressed and ready to report for this ridiculous game. Where do we go ?" Maria came close to her, her eyes above the harsh gag now troubled. She shook her head slightly and shrugged, then knelt and kissed Gerda's knee. she led the way down the long passage. Gerda strode behind her, the mack- intosh breeches rustling and crackling, the rod playing gentle havoc with her emotions. She would show them that no strong-willed girl could be forced into slavehood. She had never been more wrong. In the next issue: Cerda learns some of the incredible courses she will have to endure, and realises her slavehood is no kinky game.
