gerda 5 The story so far: Gerda, a top Parisien model has been brought by her lover, Le Compte Guy de Rhislain, to his island for a holiday. She finds he has plans to make her a slave in rubber, part of his large establishment which trains rich gentlemen's mistresses. Despite her protests, on her first morning she has been given her first daily enema, and is now dressed and ready to report for her initiation training. She is still proud and defiant Gerda's feelings were mixed as she followed her personal maid, Maria, down the huge staircase and along a corridor. Her heavy white rubber breeches, which Maria had called the 'slaves' shame training pants', made a loud crackling as she walked. It contrasted with the tight smooth feling of the rest of her costume. They reached some swing doors and Maria, being permanently gagged, wrote rapidly on her pad: This is the slaves rest room. I leave you here until your master summons you. Today will be hard for you, as you will be prepared for slavehood, but I urge you not to resist, it will only mean more punishment. Good Luck! With these ominous words she knelt, kissed Gerda's boot, and departed. Gerda watched her tightly- latexed bottom with the gold padlocked chain disappear round the corner. She pushed open the door and stopped in surprise. It was a huge room, with French windows opening out to a terrace overlooking the Mediterranean. Sofas and armchairs in black and white leather were scattered around the room. Sumptuous carpets covered the parquet floor, and there was a small bar in one corner. Vaguely she noticed three Dali paintings which looked original, and a large nude by Picasso. A lighted bookcase with a glass front contained a large collection of Meissen china. But her eyes were only on the occupants of the room. There were seven girls, some sitting, some standing, all dressed startlingly in rubber or latex, and all tightly hooded on the front of each mask was a name, on the back was a number. One of the girls stood up and came across to Gerda. "You must be the new girl, you've no name or number yet. As you can see, I'm Yvette. What's your name ?" Through the eye-slits of her tight black mask, Gerda studied the girl, noting the superb figure and the tiny waist encased by a corselette same as her own. Yvette was entirely encased in a heavy red latex suit, with laced leather thigh boots and red leather briefs which divided her bottom into two halves. She wore long latex gloves which were chained round the wrists allowing two inches of slack between. "I'm Gerda," she stammered, "But I'm not staying here, it's all a mistake. Can't you take off your mask ?" Yvette laughed, low and pleasant. "Whatever for ? And earn fifty De- merits? Besides, I'd feel naked without it!" Despite Gerda's previous confidence that she could outwit Le Compte, she felt a cold depression settle over her. "How long have you been here? Can't you escape ?" One of the other girls stood up. she was dressed similarly to Yvette, but her arms were encased in a single long leather glove and strapped tightly up her back. Despite that, she moved lithely and with elegance. On her mask was the name 'Marcia'. "You're talking to Yvette, a Top- Level Slave, why should she want to escape? I'm Marcia, by the way,-I've been here six months, Yvette's been here over a year." Gerda was aghast. "But why ? You sound quite cheerful about it ! Can't you get away ?" She could see Marcia's red lips smile through the mouth-piece of the tight mask. "Who wants to? We are highly trained slaves and have everything we want. We know how to please our man better than anyone alive. In return we have no problems, no worries, a superb sexual life, and the joy of being eternally masochistic and living in pride and humiliation." Yvette put a gloved hand on Gerda's shoulder, fondling the latex gently. "Dear Gerda, it's difficult to explain, even more difficult for you to under- stand at this monemt. The first two weeks will not be easy for you, until you can adjust your mind and your mentality. Try not to suffer too much and learn quickly to accept it !" She stroked Gerda's long blonde hair which spilled from under the neck of the mask. "Lovely hair !" That's the only thing I regret !" Marcia inter- rupted hastily, "Come and meet the others. We're all on Call, but some of them are finishing up their Punish- ments, and can't speak." She led Gerda over to a girl who was standing immobile by the window. To Gerda's astonishment she was encased in shining steel armour, with steel boots with high heels. The head was a round ball of silver steel with three tiny holes for breathing. Marcia smiled. "This is Tania: She's heavily rubbered under her Punishment Armour, and gagged and masked, of course. She can hardly walk and can't sit or lie down. The steel suit is almost airtight and I imagine she's perspiring like the proverbial pig. She's been almost twelve hours in it." Gerda was horrified. "It's insane It's cruel, can't you undo it ?" "Oh dear!" laughed Yvette, who had followed them over to the window "You really are naive ! One of the strictest rules is you must never touch or release another slave. Besides, just look at those padlocks !" She touched Tania who obligingly turned round slightly with a faint clank of steel. A single bar of iron ran from the back of her head to her thighs, fitting over six metal hoops which came through appropriate holes in the bar and were all padlocked into place. "Tania's not too unhappy, she was brought up from the Cellars only half an hour ago, she'll be released any minute and then she'll have a whole twenty-four hours off." "But why did they do this to her?" "The silly girl tried to disobey an order for Dressing. Her Master had arrived from Rome and wanted her for a long Whipping. She reported in her proper Whipping costume, but she had put on three pairs of thick rubber pants under- neath. After the first twenty strokes the Whipping Mistress knew there was something wrong and had her stripped; she received 200 Demerits and twelve hours in the Steel Maiden costume." Gerda felt faint. She gazed out the window at the sunny Mediterranean, so near and yet, now, so far. she could feel her costume clinging coldly to her. "They whip you ? That's illegal !" Now Marcia laughed, her large breasts jiggling through the tight latex. "You obviously haven't even started yet ! You get a Training Whipping every day. You'll start at fifty strokes, and work up to the daily 250. Actually, you'll grow to like it. It's only the last ten that really hurt." Gerda turned and surveyed the other girls. Three of them had their arms fixed behind their backs and were wearing heavier masks with no eyeholes or mouths. Another was wearing a tight black rubber leotard, out of which pro- truded at the back a long Rod, making it impossible for her to sit down. Her gloved wrists were handcuffed in front of her. On her head she wore a loose rubber hood with a long tube coming from her mouth. "That's Sylvia," explained Marcia, "She's working off a week's Demerits. That's the rather unpleasant Suffocation Hood for Punishment. You'll notice it's strapped tightly round her neck, and the breathing tube has a nozzle on the end, allowing her just enough air to breathe. She's had it on since last night, and every now and then one of the Instructors will tighten up the nozzle for a few minutes until she's almost un- conscious. What they don't know is that Sylvia loves it, she can take Pleasure after Pleasure with that punish- ment. I honestly believe she deliberately gets Demerits !" "But how?" Gerda asked, aware that her breathing was faster and despite her repulsion she felt a sickly glow of sensuality in her stomach, "How can she get a kick out of it?" Yvette smoothed up her long gloves to the very top of her arms. "Incidentally," she told Gerda, "Keep yourself always 'Tight and Tidy', which is the Centre's motto. You can get Demerits for a wrinkled glove or stocking. Well, I suppose Sylvia is a born masochist, and she loves her Master very much. He gets a kick out of dominating her, knowing that she's getting a thrill out of him doing so - if you follow me. Actually, he's a nice little man, and not really tough enough for her. That's why she loved him for bringing her here. The harsher they train her the better she likes it. The trouble is that now he needs to be trained as a Master, he's too lenient with her. But he only comes once a month, and she's the perfectly devoted slave to him for twenty-four hours, but 1 swear the rest of the month she's hardly ever out of some Punish- ment period. "But you, for instance, you really enjoy it here?" Gerda was now curious, as Yvette spoke with an educated voice and seemed an intelligent girl. "At first I didn't. Like you, I suppose, I was brought here under false pretences. I'm an orphan, was a not very successful actress, lived with a couple of men, was on pot and went to all the usual Chelsea parties, and didn't know, or care, where I was going in life. Then I met this very rich guy, moved in with him, and two months later we came down here 'for a relaxing holiday'. I was furious at first, fought against the whole idea, then suddenly I found I was looking forward to my Training, it was the first time in my life I was being disciplined, both physically and mentally. He didn't come back for three months, and when he did we had the most fabulous week- end together. He's a bit of a sadist, and I took great pride in accepting every- thing he wanted to do, even urging him on. Yes, I'm a good slave and I love it. On my final exam to become a Top Level Slave he and the Whipping Mistress gave me one thousand lashes over a period of four hours. I think I took Pleasure about eight times. It was wonderful !" "But don't you want to return? To go back to everyday life ?" "Sometimes, yes. But for what? I'd have all the old responsibilities, and sexually I could never find the same satisfaction. My Master travels all over the world, and I'd only get into trouble waiting for him at home. Whereas here I suffer for him, making myself a better slave, and he usually comes once a month. I report to his private chalet for the weekend, and of course he has the use of all the Training Rooms, all the equipment for Punishment, and the rubber wardrobe here covers six huge rooms. As I said, we have a ball." The door opened and an Instructo entered. He was dressed entirely in a close-fitting green leather suit, with black riding boots, and a wide black belt from which dangled a shortwhip. He wore a leather mask with the numeral '4' on the front. "He's a bastard," whispered Yvette, "Stand to attention and whatever happens don't speak." She called out: "Attention, slaves !" for the sake of the ones who could not see. In a moment everyone was. standing rigidly still. The man came over to them, and Gerda could hear the squeak of his tight leather. He screwed down the nozzle on Sylvia's hood, then turned to Gerda. He gave an ironic bow. "Our new recruit, I presume. You have a good figure which I personally like. You won't have to suffer the Slimming and Heat Treatment too much. I'm taking you to the Preparation Depart- ment, after which you'll be given your normal working hood, and you'll be known as Gerda, slave number 21." Gerda remained silent, watching agoni- singly as Sylvia's heavy rubber hood crinkled frantically in and out as she used up the air inside. "Tongue-tied, are we ? Have you no- thing to say?" His cruel eyes through the mask seemed to be laughing at her. Despite Yvette's warning, she burst out: "Please, please ! That girl's suffocating !" The Instructor took his whip in his hand. "Because you're new, I won't give you any Demerits." He slashed the whip across Gerda's tightly rubbered bottom. She gave a small scream but managed to remain still. The pain rippled through her. But her main concern was for Sylvia. Then she watched in astonishment as Sylvia bent her knees, trying to thrust out the long Rod, then straightening up again as it slid back into her. The hood was blowing in and out now in long gasps. The motions of the Rod in- creased, accompanied by a frenzied moaning from the girl. Gerda realised that Sylvia was coming to a climax. The Instructor grinned through his mask and loosened the nozzle so that she could breathe again. "That's the cruel part!" he said lightly "I'm letting her breathe again before she can take Pleasure ! Now, slave Gerda please follow me the Preparation Room is waiting for you." He led the way out, Marcia called after Gerda, wishing her luck. In trepidation she followed the Instructor as he walked rapidly down several corridors towards the rear of the huge building, Gerda trying to follow on her high heeled boots, feeling her warm rubber Jack' rustling, her mind whirling as she tried to assimilate all she had heard from the other slaves. He stopped in front of a door and turned to her. His eyes behind the hood were not unsympathetic. "When you come out of here, you will have been prepared for slavehood. The mask you will be given will be worn at all times, except when you have permission to remove it. Try to adjust your metamorphosis and do not allow your rage and shame to affect your destiny. Think and behave like a slave, try to enjoy your Training; sink into it, and let it wash and purify you. In this way you will suffer little. Now enter this door and prepare yourself for slavehood." She looked at him in astonishment, seeking some kindred soul, some re- assurance that this was not a terrible nightmare. But now the eyes were hard and cruel again. He opened the door and she entered. The room was large, without windows. It reminded her of a make-up room in a film studio. Several adjustable chairs, like-old fashioned dentists' chairs stood in front of neon-lit mirrors. A serving maid stood motionless beside one of them, her slim figure tightly encased in latex, with the now-familiar gag and mask covering her head. she indicated for Gerda to sit in one of the chairs. Slowly, Gerda did so, squirming as she felt her greased Rod pushed further in. The maid strapped her elbows and wrists to the vinyl arm supports, then applied steel clamps to her ankles, knees and thighs finally passing a broad belt round the chair and her waist. She gently pressed Gerda's head back until it rested against the head- piece of the chair, then passed a strap round her neck. Gerda tried to protest, but the maid ignored her pleas. She unzipped Gerda's mask, and pulled it off, leaving her head free. Gerda shook her long head of blonde hair, she felt relaxed and quite confortable in her tight suit. At least, she thought grimly, they can't rape me in my present costume and bondage ! In the mirror she saw a door open behind her, and an apparition appeared behind her chair. The woman was nearly six feet tall. She was dressed in high-heeled white rubber waders which came up over her breasts, the heavy and shiny rubber fitting closely to her superb body. Round her waist was a belt of steel. Over her shoulders was a thigh length cape of the same heavy-white rubber, but now loosely thrown over her shoulders. Her face was broad and sensual. Long blonde hair cascaded down her back. Gerda could hear the woman's heavy rubber crackling as she moved slowly up to-the chair. "Slave Gerda ! How nice to meet you ! I am The Executioner. Look well at my face, and remember it, because you will never see it again without a mask. Look at my hair, this golden hair which reaches to myo bottom. Thick and beautiful, isn't it? Think of it and remember it !" She took hold of Gerda's long hair and stroked it. "Now I will prepare you for your Training. It is necessary that all slaves have very short hair so that it does not interfere with their permanent masks. Servant, the gag, please !" Before Gerda realised the meaning of The Executioner's words, the maid had thrust a thick rubber gag into her mouth, and strapped it tightly behind her head. The woman leant forward and felt the gag with her gloved hands. "Stupid maid! Ten Demerits for fri- volity. I need it tight!" She hauled on the strap of the gag, nearly choking Gerda from the strap round her neck, and pulling in the thick wedge until Gerda's mouth was pulled savagely back, the leather strap cutting deeply into the corners of her mouth. The Executioner then tightened the strap around Gerda's neck until she was immobile, able only to look ahead in the classical 'gag-stare'. The maid brought across a white latex hood and handed it to the woman, who pulled it on over her head. In the mirror Gerda now saw only a white mask with tiny eyeholes. The mouth was a painted travesty of smiling lips. She felt faint, the saliva trickling out of her cruelly gagged mouth. The Executioner picked up a pair o large scissors. "Now, my good slave, we will fit you for your mask !" She took hold of Gerda's long hair and cut it off close to the scalp. She then handed the scissors to the maid. "Trim it up and put on her mask, with a B-4 padlock. She is to keep it on for forty-eight hours to get accustomed to it." Gerda screamed and screamed, but only muffled sounds came through the vicious gag. Her beautiful hair, her pride, the envy of Paris, lay on the floor. The tears flooded her eyes, the screams subsiding to choking despair. The maid expertly trimmed her head, then brought across a thick latex hood and pulled it over Gerda's head. The mask had glass eyeholes, a shaped nose with two breathing holes, and a cut-out mouth. She released the strap around Gerda's neck, and pulled tight the two- inch boned neck of the mask. she laced up the back until the mask was skin- tight, without a wrinkle, then passed a steel band over the neckpiece and padlocked it into position. Finally she released Gerda from her bonds and undid the gag. Gerda, numb with shock, looked at herself in the big mirror. Through the built-in glass goggles she saw her faceless hood, tight and shiny, anony- mous, with the white letters 'Gerda' across the forehead. Her hands came up to the back of her neck, feeling the iron collar and the padlock. The Executioner was standing in the background. "So be it, slave Gerda! You will now report for your first Training Session. And I warn you, co-operate well, or you will meet me again ! I am looking forward to punishing you ! You are conceited, proud, and wilful, and I know you will incur many Demerits before I break your spirit. I wonder how soon I will find you reporting to me in the Punishment Chamber !" In the next issue, Gerda commences her Training, still fighting against her slavehood, but, despite her revulsion, finding certain facets of it highly exciting.
