„Some more water?“, Cheng asked Lien who was sitting some three yards away from him. She just raised her hand and he threw the canteen over to her.
Since they both were skilled Martial Arts fighters, it had turned out that they both were able to anticipate the other`s moves to a point that they almost neutralized each other in combat. So, after some minutes, none of them was hurt, except for some small bruises. But fighting in the hot Mexican sun was exhausting and so, when they had become increasingly slow in their movements, they had both agreed on a break. After all, this was a fair combat.
However, Lien had come to the conclusion that Cheng was not showing his best. to her, it had more than once seemed that he had deliberately not hit her. First, she had thought that his months as a salesman had made him weak, but now, she more and more felt as if he didn`t want to win.
For a second, she felt as if she had to cry. He no longer loved her and so, he wanted her to win so she could go her way. But then, when she saw him look at her, she understood. Cheng still had strong feelings for her, but he did not want to take her by force. And somehow, this discovery was overwhelming for Lien.
„He loves me so much that he would deliberately lose, just to let me do what I like!“
Loyalty, even dedication, had always meant a lot to her, but usually, she had been the one to be loyal and dedicated. To be on the receiving end was quite new to her – new and intriguing.
„So, if you ever win that battle, what exactly do you have in mind doing to me?“, Lien asked. She tried to sound calm, but her voice sounded a little bit hoarse.
„Well, I will take you back to San Francisco, packed so tightly you can`t even think of ever getting loose.“
„So? And then, you will keep me in the dungeon until I promise to be your devote and loving wife?“
Cheng laughed:
„That`s of course if you would not prefer to come with me to South Platte River, Colorado.“
„Colorado?“
„A rather uncivilized part of the United States where they have found gold, even more than in California in 1849. They say it`s a dangerous place and not for the faint of heart. On the other hand, you can also become rich there and besides, there`s enough room for both Whites and Chinese.“
Lien giggled:
„So, you want to get me there?“
„No.“
Now, Lien stood up and looked at him questioningly. Before he answered, Cheng also rose from his seat.
„Once I am sure I can trust you, I will set you free. But I hope that you will follow me deliberately.“
Instead of an answer, Lien launched an attack. It was an amateurish move and Cheng reacted almost reflexively, grabbing her arms and forcing her to the ground. When he was sitting on her chest, Lien could see that he had understood what had just happened.
„Now, I will have to tie you up – Cherry Blossom!“
„Better do a good job, or you will wake up with my blade in your throat – Tiger!“
Cheng led her to his bag and took out a coiled rope. He cut some long pieces and tied her arms at wrists and elbows, above and below the joint and wrapping them tightly with numerous loops of rope. When he used a thin leather twine to bind her fingers, completely immobilizing them, Lien breathed:
„Now, you feel as if you have won, don`t you?“
Cheng turned her around and looked down at her thust out breasts. Then, he loosened the cloth covering her boobs.
„You can`t even prevent me from unwrapping you completely now, can you?“
Lien sighed slightly when he slowly pulled her loincloth from between her legs, making the silk caress her most intimate part in the progress.
„I still could kick you where you are the most supplied with blood right now!“
Cheng lowered the now naked girl to the ground and tied her legs methodically. He started right below her hips by binding them together, then two more ropes went around her knees, above and below the joint. A fourth rope leashed her ankles together and with another piece of twine, he even tied her big toes. Then, he folded her into three and secured her in that ball position with much more rope. Now, Lien could only move her head.
„Nice try, Tiger, but I still could scream for help!“
For a while, Cheng`s lips and tongue prevented Lien from doing so. Lien closed her eyes and kissed him back with a passion she had almost forgotten about. Then, Cheng withdrew and went for his bag.
„Perhaps, this is the best way of silencing you“, he said, kissing her once more, „but unfortunately, I will have to drive my cab whilst you will be stowed under the seat. And so, we need something else.“
He showed her a pink piece of silk and hed it to her nose. Lien cringed back and made a small sound deep in her throat. These knickers had definitely been worn by her last owner for quite some time. It were those Andrea had been wearing when she had been on the ship.
„Uuuhnnnn!“
Lien could not help retching when Cheng slowly, but firmly stuffed her cheeks and throat with the silky undergarments. Then, when he could not get the knickers any further, he secured them by slinging her breast cloth between her lips, knotting it off right above the balled up cloth, pushing in the knickers even deeper. Above, he tied some ten rounds of the leather twine.
„Maybe, that will keep you quiet.“
„Nnnnggg!“
Now, Cheng took another pair of knickers from the bag, the white pair Zenobia had been wearing. He pulled them over Lien`s head and tightened them by knotting them in her neck before taking as belt and buckling it vertically around her head, forcing the girl to bite hard on her mouthfilling gag. As a crowning touch, Cheng tied her sweaty loincloth over Lien`s nose. Then, he cradled her in his arms.

Though her hooded face was only inches away from his own, he could only hear the faintest of gurgling and see the silk over her nose bulge a bit more from her panting when he let his hand slide between her legs. Cheng could feel her warm and wet middle and pushed his fingers a bit further. Now, he could hear a deep, long groan and the tightly trussed up girl seemed to tremble slightly.
„Maybe, I should take you to the cab now. It`s only half a mile away, but now, I am quite exhausted and so, it may be some time until we are there. So, I am afraid you will be in my arms for quite some time – Cherry Blossom.“
Indeed, it took Cheng a long time to pass the short distance to the cab, but even though he moved so slow, the fingers of his left hand didn`t seem to be tired at all. And long before they had passed half the way, Lien`s concerns about Elisabeth had been washed away by a wave of pleasure.
„Colorado, here I come!“, was her last coherent thought for quite a while.
***
In 1863, at Camerone, a group of 65 Foreign Legionnaires had fought against some 3000 Mexican soldiers, killing or wounding more than 500 before finally being overrun. Since than, that battle had become a legend, but now, there could be a similar battle, according to the difference in strength, as there were some 100 Mexicans against two Legionnaires and one member of the Imperial Mexican Army.
However, it seemed that the commander of the Mexican company did not want to sacrifice even one of his men, for he had halted his men at the foot of the hill, just out of shooting distance. It was already becoming dark and so, he did not want to take the risk of perhaps losing a dozen of men before storming the monastery. Perhaps, he just wanted the three men to swelter for a night before he started negotiations. After all, they were guarding the only way to leave the walls of San Juan.
For a while, Kilian, Heinrich and Pedro had really been ready to face their last stand. But now, as the hours passed and they could hear the talking and singing of their besiegers, see their campfires and even smell their food, they were thinking of different possibilities than to die in battle.
„Maybe, we can climb down the hill and sneak through the night. With a little bit of luck, we can be save before sunrise“, Heinrich proposed.
Kilian shook his head. He still suffered from having been such a fool. First, Preud`homme had lured him into that silly mission, then, he had failed in recapturing Elisabeth and finally, Xenia had betrayed them. Now, he just wanted to proof himself that he ws more than just an idiot.
„Well, it seems that this is the best of opportunities we have. However, we will perhaps need some distraction.“
Suddenly, a wolfish grin appeared on his face and he explained his idea to the others. Soon, Heinrich and Pedro were smiling, too.
First, they fetched Isabella and released her feet before they forced her to stand in the court. The naked girl still had her arms tied the way Viola and Inez had bound them and her mouth was still gagged with Arina`s knickers, a cleave gag and a piece of leather tied over her mouth.
Quickly, the three men tied her in a different way by releasing her arms, only to cuff her hands behind her back. Then, they slung one of the small leather belts around her upper arms and leashed them together. Isabella shrieked into her gag when her elbows met, forcing her to thrust out her boobs.
Heinrich removed her gag and allowed her to drink some water before he stuffed the knickers back into her mouth and reapplied the cleave gag. Instead of tying the leather band over her mouth again, he used another belt to secure the gag.
One by one, they fetched the rest of the showgirls. Each was tied with her wrist and elbows behind her back and allowed some water before she was gagged with another woman`s underwear, a cleave between her lips and a belt buckled over her gag. Then, Kilian brought a long, thin chain and told the four naked girls to form a row.
He slung the end of the chain around Isabella`s waist and secured it with a little padlock. Then, he threaded the other end between her legs and over the short chain between her handcuffs. Forcing Aurora to stand close behind her, he put the chain between her legs and through her manacles. He repeated the procedure to Arina and Marita and pulled until the four girls had to stand so close behind each other that their boobs touched the frontwoman`s back and they felt her hands on their pussy. Only Isabella, being the first in the row, was spared that humiliation, but she had to present everything to the viewer.
When he had padlocked the end of the chain to Marita`s handcuffs, Pedro guarded the row of mmphing and wriggling women whilst Heinrich and Kilian went for Viola and her henchwomen. After half an hour, they had arranged a similar row of four women, each one tied with her arms behind her back, each one thoroughly gagged with another girl`s knickers and all four connected by a chain through their crotches. Now, Kilian stepped in front of Isabella and Viola, the leaders of the two involuntary groups.
„After we have finished with the last three girls down in the dungeon, we will open the door. Then, you may try to walk into freedom. Of course, you also may stay here until the soldiers get up here in the morning. But I have to warn you: the first group to get down the hill will be the first to persuade their rescuers that the other`s are the villains!“
The eight girls mewed and grunted, but now, it was Heinrich`s turn to watch them at gunpoint whilst Kilian and Pedro went into the torture chamber.
Quickly, but thoroughly, they checked the gags of Elisabeth, Heidi and Mitzi before putting each girl into a hogtie by using two pairs of handcuffs on each girl. Then, Kilian put away a round lit that covered something that could be best described as a huge cauldron buried in the ground. It was an „Oubliette“, a hole in the ground to put the most renitent prisoners in, a dungeon within the dungeon, so to say. This one was some two yards in diameter and also more than a yard deep. Despite their desperate struggling and mmphing, the two men lowered the girls inside. Now, they were lying together like the helpless bundles they had become. With widened eyes, they expected the men to close the lid. Instead, Kilian took a large bottle of olive oil and poured it over the three girls entangled to each other.
„Mmmhhhhrrrrrr!“
Elisabeth really feared that he would now light a match and burn them alive. But instead, Kilian took a small key and tied it to the rim, only some inches away from the girls.
„This is the key to your handcuffs. Maybe, if you try really hard, you may reach it and free yourselves. If you do so, there`s a little reward waiting for you. We have deposited some clothes for you and so, if you succeed in releasing yourselves before the soldiers arrive, you may expect them more decent than you are now. I am quite sure that, although they are Republican soldiers, they will treat you with some respect, but one never knows.“
Having said so, he and Pedro left. Immediately, the girls started struggling, trying to reach the key. However, the oil had made both their bodies and the Oubliette`s walls quite slippery and so, it turned out to be a more than impossible task to get their fingers or even their toes close enough to rescue...
Once back at the fresh air, the three men packed their belongings and, as promised, opened the door before they left through the gap in the monastery`s wall. And now, after some hesitation, the two naked female chain gangs began to walk towards the gate and down the hill.

Luckily, the soldiers on guard were too perplexed by what approached to them, fuming, moaning and grunting, to fire a shot. To their great surprise, two lines of naked women were slowly coming down the path, pushing each other and trying to get the other group to slip or to stay behind. The five men just watched as if it was a strange dream until they heard the voice of their approaching Captain.
„What the – Viola!“
Viola let out a deep groan. So, the officer was her cousin, but her joy of seeing him was overwhelmed by embarrassment as more and more soldiers approached, watchin her in her nudity she could not cover with her hands tightly bound.
***
Some 20 miles away, the cart stopped for the night. The three naked, sweaty and exhausted captives looked up and mmphed weakly as they saw Xenia entering the cart, holding a canteen in her hands.
„My, my, you are really in a mess, girls. I am quite sure you might enjoy having a drink and the opportunity to – powder your nose.“
None of the girls answered, since the tone of Xenia`s voice told them that she had something evil in mind. Now, the blonde stepped between Zenobia`s splayed legs. She slowly pulled Annabelle`s knickers from the Black`s head. Then, she held them to her nose and said:
„Phew, that sure was not nice to endure. I am sure you would have preferred my fragrance.“
Zenobia`s eyes widened as her former Mistress reached down her skirts and took off her own crimson knickers. Then, she held both to Zenobia`s nose.
„Wouldn`t you say that mine are the more pleasant to smell, dear?“
„Mmhhmmmfff!“
Zenobia didn`t know what Xenia expected her to do. to her, both knickers`s odour was musty and vile. But she weakly nodded, just seeing no point in delaying their promised water and, even more, the allowance to relieve themselves, for more than necessary. Xenia smiled and gently padded Zenobia`s chin.
„Good girl. Always keen on saying what your Mistress wants to hear. So, you will be rewarded: it will be your decision how long you and your friends will have to wait for relief.“
Having said so, she pulled her own knickers over Andrea`s head whilst those that had hooded Zenobia went over Paloma`s head. Then, she stepped even closer and removed the belt buckled between the Black`s lips and removed the cleave gag. She even helped Zenobia to get the totally sodden knickers from her mouth, but before she could say anything, she tied the belt back between her lips. The leather cut into the corners of her mouth and she tried to push it away with her tongue.
„Just to prevent you from biting me.“
Now, Xenia lifted her skirts, until Zenobia could see the blonde`s pussy, only a few inches away from her face. Xenia draped the skirts over the heads of the three girls, forcing them to breathe in the musty air and almost blindfolding them. Then, she reached for Zenobia`s ears and forced the reluctand girl`s face closer to her pussy.
„If you and your friends want some water, or to hide behind a bush, you better start working. None of you will get a single drop or will be allowed to pee before I am not satisfied. Use your tongue, slave!“
Xenia felt the vibrations to her loins when Zenobia cried with embarrassment, anger and frustration. Smiling, she bent over and tightly pinched Paloma`s nipple. The girl mewed with pain and squirmed in her bonds. Then, Xenia pinched Andrea before turning to Paloma again.
„Ooohhaaayyy, I hhhoooo iiihhh!“, could be heard from underneath the skirts.
Xenia licked her lips and slightly spread her thighs as she felt Zenobia`s lips and tongue starting to caress her most intimate parts. Though it had been quite difficult, it had been definitely a good idea to get this slave back.

„Well, now I may say that I am convinced.“
Captain Duarte lolled about and looked up to the dishevelled girl sitting astride of him, bending forward so the tops of her breasts touched his chest. She streaked a few tresses of brown hair from her face and smiled.
Arina still was a bit confused about how things had developed. When they had reached the soldiers, the Captain had first freed Viola and her comrades. He had declared them heroes of the revolution and strictly forbidden any of his men to touch them and immediately after they had been freed, he had handed them some blankets to cover themselves. However, the four renegades had left them the next day. Obviously, they did not waant to spend their time with men who had seen them all helplessly bound and gagged and completely naked.
When the Captain still had considered what to do with the other bound girls, his eyes had suddenly fallen on Arina. For a while, he had looked as if someone had knocked him on the head with a huge hammer. Then, he had ordered her to be taken to his tent.
Inside, she had to wait for him for some hour. Then, Duarte entered the tent and slowly undid her gag.
„You won`t believe what we have found in the monastery! A member of the Austrian aristocracy, together with her maids – though she didn`t look, eh, very - aristocratic when we released her from her prison.“
To her surprise, his fingers were a bit oily and Arina could smell some olive oil when he finally pulled her gag from her mouth. After some panting, she drank some of the wine he offered her.
„Whatsoever, now she is in another tent, together with her maids and your three companions. Of course, I could just be generous and give you all some clothes and let you go. But I am not quite sure about that. Maybe, you can persuade me to let them go.“
Duarte had released her arms and in a first reflex, she covered herself with her arms. However, he made no attempt of taking her by force. He just sat on his bed and looked at her. Arina trembled. His proposal was more than indecent, it was just monstous! She forced herself to look at him and asked:
„W.what if I-I-I r-refuse?“
„Then, I will get you something to dress and you may go. I am totally convinced that you are innocent and so you are free to go wherever you want. I am just not sure wether to let the others go, too – or to take them to the authorities to decide their further fate. Of course, this might take some weeks, or even months.“
Arina gulped. Now, it was even worse. The decision now was between her own virtue – and loyalty towards her friends. She breathed deeply, then, she lowered her arms and approached the bed.
„You are a creepy, evil bastard!“
„Guilty!“, Duarte smiled and kissed her lips. After some hesitating, Arina kissed him back, surprised that it felt rather interesting than disgusting to her. After a while, Duarte withdrew from her and handed her a shirt. Arina looked questioningly.
„What do you think what kind of man I am? I just wanted to test if you are a loyal person, worth to live in our nice Republic. You convinced me. Just get dressed, I will order to release the other girls at once.“
Now, Arina stood there motionless, the shirt pressed to her body. Duarte looked at her, smiling. Suddenly, the girl threw away the shirt, stepped closer to him and hissed.
„Bastard!“, she kissed him, „bloody, creepy bastard!“ Another kiss followed.
And so, Arina and Duarte sank on the bed and little later, she found out that losing virginity felt like winning something of much greater value. Now, she looked down on Duarte and smiled:
„So, you are really already convinced? Or maybe, you should think about it once more? Or even twice?“
***
A few weeks after Arina finally managed to set her colleagues free, together with Elisabeth and her maids, a small schooner was heading towards the quite narrow strait between Florida and the North of Cuba. Though the winds had forced the Captain to stay further North than he had wished, he was sure that they would reach Havanna within the next 24 hours. However, the three figures sneaking across the deck were more interested in the coast of Florida that was lying some 20 miles North by Northeast.
It had been a trip of horror and humiliation that lay behind Zenobia and her two companions. First, Xenia and her maids had kept them in the cart till they had reached Monterrey where they had changed into a larger and better coach. Obviously, Xenia had met some people who owed money to her, but there had been little improvement for the three naked, bound and gagged captives.
They had been cuffed for the entire trip, even during the mealtimes and when sleeping. And also, there had never been an occasion to talk to each other, for their captors had only ungagged one of them at the same time. So, although Zenobia had been quite sure that Andrea had forgiven her, she could only guess so from the look in her eyes.
Every morning and evening, Xenia or her maids had thought of new humiliations for them, just in exchange for „privileges“ like water, food or being allowed to relief themselves. Zenobia had thought of going on strike and to accept whipping instead of further fulfilling the blonde`s increasingly kinky wishes, but Xenia had made clear that whenever one of them would not obey an order, the other two would have to suffer.
During the whole trip to the Atlantic coast, Zenobia had tried to find a way of freeing herself, but to no avail. Helplessly bound and gagged, they had finally been brought aboard the ship that belonged to Mr. Drake and would get them to Cuba. Here, Xenia and her maids resided in a large cabin whilst Andrea, Paloma and Zenobia were stowed in a small, stuffy closet, still naked and thoroughly gagged. Some 23 hours of the day, they had to spend lying on their bellies whilst they were hogtied by two pairs of handcuffs and connected to the ceiling by chains connected to their hogties, preventing them from reaching for each other`s gags or ties.
Drawing by hugues66
Every morning, some members of the crew took care of their personal needs, often taking advantages of their naked helplessness, though it seemed that Xenia had ordered the men not to do more than some touching and groping. In the evening, the women visited them and had their way with them. And that was when finally Annabelle had made a mistake.
She had lost one of her hairclips and Zenobia had been able to grab it and to keep it hidden when they were taken care of in the morning. Then, she had started to work on the lock of her handcuffs and finally, her left wrist had come free. Now, it was quite an easy task to free herself and the other girls, since the key for their cuffs was hanging on a hook beside the door. The door, however, was locked from outside and so, they had to wait for Xenia and the maids to come.
„Once we have overpowered them, we will put on their clothes and try to get into one of the boats. One of the men said that Florida isn`t far. It`s a small chance, but it`s the only one we have!“
Andrea and Paloma nodded. They remembered only too well when Xenia had told them that they would end up in a harbour brothel that belonged to Mr. Drake`s friend and that that would be paradise compared to what was waiting for Zenobia.
Shortly after dark, they heard steps and some female giggling. Determined, the three still naked – they had refused to put on the knickers that had gagged them for weeks now – women prepared for a swift attack. They had made makeshift clubs by wrapping the cloths that had cleave-gagged them around their handcuffs.
„Good evening, my-uff!“
Whatever Xenia had intended to call them, it remained unsaid. Zenobia had hit her neck and she collapsed in the cell. Before they even had realized what had happened, Andrea and Paloma had grabbed the maids and Zenobia knocked them out, too.
Carefully, Paloma watched the corridor whilst Andrea and Zenobia quickly undressed the three unconscious women and put on their dresses themselves. Then, Andrea watched the door and Paloma got dressed whilst Zenobia began binding and gagging Xenia, Annabelle and Veronica.
Of course, she would have loved to punish Xenia for all the humiliations, but she knew that time was on the agenda. So, she tied them in a way that was efficient, but was only a little compensation for what she had endured.
After each of the naked women had been gagged with a pair of the knickers that had previously gagged Zenobia and her friends, she secured these gags with a cleave gag and a tightly buckled belt over that. Then, she cuffed each girl`s hands and feet. However, to have at least some satisfaction, she tied one arm in front of their bodies and one behind, meaning that the short chain between the cuffs was cutting into the soft flesh between the women`s legs. Then, with the help of the others, she took the chains dangling from the ceiling and tied them to the handcuffs of their captives. When they began regaining consciousness, they tightened these chains, forcing the girls to stand on the tips of their toes. Now, each lowering of their feet would bring additional pain to their crotches. Frantically, Xenia, Annabelle and Veronica screamed through their foul tasting gags.
„Say Mr. Drake he will have to play with you three if he needs a plaything!“, Zenobia hissed into Xenia`s ear. Then, she slapped her former Mistress`s face. It wasn`t a hard beat, but Xenia blushed violently from the humiliation.
Carefully, they locked the cell`s door from the outside. Of course, the moans of the three captives could be heard, but since the door had no peephole, nobody would suggest that it weren`t Andrea, Paloma and Zenobia.
20 minutes later, they were sitting in a small dinghi. It was a nutshell, but it was the only one they had been able to water unseen. With a little bit of luck, their disappearance would not be discovered before the ship had reached the shore of Cuba. When the ship`s lantern became smaller and smaller, Zenobia suddenly felt both Paloma and Andrea hugging her.
„I love you“, Zenobia whispered and this time, Andrea smiled and kissed her friend`s lips.

The end
