Clipped from Infernal Restraints

As described in part 1, this damsel has been left in anguish to exhaust herself in a struggle not to escape but merely to endure. But no one can endure forever. The strongest bodies fail and this damsel is approaching complete and total muscle fatigue.

She is desperate and therefore hopeful when her captor enters the room. Whatever he plans next has to be better. Her screaming legs and shoulders cannot take another minute of strain.

To her horror, he tightly straps a single leather band around her abdomen and leaves her again. She can’t believe it. She was barely hanging on and now her breathing has been restricted with a tight belt.

This is the psychological dominance that will break your damsel faster than whips or shocks or forced orgasms. She was not expecting rescue but she at least expected relief from one hopeless situation. Instead it’s become worse and extended beyond what she thought she could take. She’s now past where her perceived limits were and she’s breaking. It’s an elegant use of simple bondage executed to perfection.
