After some mile, Zenobia and her conpanions stopped at a little airing that seemed to offer some protection. They had decided to wait for the night until they would try to get into the mansion. Zenobia had concluded that, since there were only three persons at the house who would have spent a day searching for Andrea, they would perhaps be sleeping or at least be too tired to watch for night visitors.
In a touching attempt to get Andrea some relief, Zenobia tried to infuse some water into the little opening of her gag mask. It only had a few millimetres in diameter, but she hoped that some water would reach Andrea`s stomach and still her thirst a bit. However, her friend made a retching sound and turned her head away.
„Did they stuff your mouth?“, she asked her gently.
Andrea nodded, blushing slightly. She did not want her beloved to know that, though she loved her body as well as her soul, she was a little disgusted by the taste of Zenobia`s knickers wedged in her mouth and did not want to swallow any water filtered by these. Zenobia, however, had less concerns about that. Underneath her trousers, she currently was wearing Andrea`s knickers with which she had been gagged by Curt before.
Zenobia put her arms around Andrea and the former reporter cuddled against her. Virginia looked at the two friends, then at Caroline and she forced a smile upon her lips:
„Come over, dear.“
Gratefully, Caroline snuggled up to her and Virginia closed her arms around her. She was not interested in women physically, but she desperately was longing for some consolation and Virginia,who had always been the stronger of the two was willing to help her. Soon, it seemed that Caroline was relaxing a bit.
„Now, that`s a lovely sight! How cosy!“
The four fugitives rose up, only to see Xenia LaFayette standing in front of them. Zenobia reached for her stick, but Xenia waved with her gun and from the sides, her henchmen stepped from the bushes, their rifles in their hands. Xenia took a cloth from her pocket and threw it to the ground.
„If this hadn`t been hanging in the twigs of a bush by the shore, we wouldn`t have noticed you are here.“
Virginia gasped. It was the rag that had been tied around her mouth before. She had taken it with her, but later thrown it away without thinking. So, this was her fault, somehow. Xenia continued her speech:
„You two halfbreeds may be pleased to hear that I am not interested in you at all. My business has only to do with that black pearl and her slightly underdressed friend over there!“
Zenobia slung her arms closer around Andrea in a desperate attempt to protect her from all evil. With an irrational hope in her voice, Caroline asked:
„Y-you m-m-mean, we c-can go?“
She blushed from being so cowardish to leave Zenobia and Andrea in the clutches of that woman and her men, but there was little they could do by staying together with them. Xenia smiled, but the look in her eyes was as cold as ice.
„Well – yes. But not yet. We will have to truss you up a bit. If you manage to get free once we are gone, you may go wherever you want.“
Both Virginia and Caroline wanted to plead, but the two men just raised their guns and Xenia went for her bag. Then, Xenia ordered the two girls to strip.
With an expression of fear and anger in their eyes, Virginia and Caroline removed their shirts. Since they both were without skirts already, it made not much difference that they now were only in their camisoles and knickers. However, Xenia told them to get on.
„P-please, no“, Caroline begged, but Xenia showed no mercy. The two blushing girls obeyed and took off their camisoles, trying to hide their breasts with their arms. Now, they were standing there only in her white respectively pink knickers.
„You may keep these if you want. No one shall say that I am not a generous woman.“
However, Xenia`s generosity was limited. She ordered one of her men to tie the two girls`s arms, whilst the other one kept his rifle pointing at Zenobia and Andrea.
The man quickly, but firmly tied both Virginia`s and Caroline`s arms at wrists and elbows. Both girls blushed deep red when they could no longer hide their boobs and were forced to thrust her breasts out when their elbows met. They squealed with pain and embarrassment, causing Xenia to giggle.
The man now tied both`s knees and ankles, then, he cut their camisoles into halfs. He stuffed each girl`s mouth with one of these cloth pieces and used the other to tie it between her lips. Then, he used two leather straps he moistened in the water to further secure the gags.
„Good. Now, it`s time for you to get a little bit more – familiar.“
The men forced Caroline to hop over to Virginia, causing her big boobs to bounce. When they were standing so close that their big toes were touching, he took another piece of rope, slung it twice around both women`s waists and pulled it tight befor tying the ends off.
Now, Virginia and Caroline were left to a ridiculous choice. They could either try to separate her pantyclad pubic mounds from touching – by squeezing their boobs together. Or they could separate their breasts as much as possible by grinding their loins against each other.
„You will sure find a way to enjoy this position.“
„Uuhhmmmph! Mmmhhmmmph!“
„Nnnnngggg! Mph!“
Xenia laughed and turned her attention towards Zenobia and Andrea. The two had to stand up. Zenobia desperately looked for an escape, but even if she had been able to jump into the water or run through the forest, she would have left Andrea alone. So, she just stood beside her lover, holding her hand.
„Please, Zenobia, stop that, for you will need both your hands to unwrap your friend for me and my men.“
Zenobia wanted to protest, but Andrea pressed her hand and nodded slightly. So, Zenobia stepped behind her and unknotted the sleeves of the shirt covering Andrea`s breasts. Then, she shimmied down her skirt, too.
„Wow, that`s naughty!“, Xenia giggled when she saw Andrea was wearing no knickers. The former reporter calmly answered her view. Getting naked in front of strangers was no longer something to really upset Andrea.
„Andrea, since I primarily have my – open invoices with your friend, you may be pleased to hear that after you have done one last favour to me, you may decide wether to stay here or to accompany me and Zenobia to my palace at Cuba.“
Unable to put her protest into words, the naked, cuffed and gagged Andrea reached for Zenobia`s hand and pressed it. Xenia nodded.
„Just as I have expected. Well, maybe you will decide the other way once you see what I will do with her. But now, you can make yourself useful. Please, strip our black beauty for us.“
Andrea moaned and shook her head, but now, it was Zenobia who stopped her friend`s concerns. She stepped close to Andrea, allowing her to grab the hem of her camisole. Then, she went on her knees and so, Andrea could pull the camisole over her head even with her hands cuffed to her belt.

Once Zenobia was topless, Andrea unbuckled her belt and began to work on the buttons of Zenobia`s trousers before she peeled them down, helped by Zenobia who rocked her hips to accelerate her stripping. Then, Andrea apologetically looked at her beloved. Again, Zenobia nodded and closed her eyes in self-denial as Andrea pulled down her knickers. When she had stepped out of the garment crumpled around her ankles, Xenia picked them up and sniffed at them.
„Well, I would prefer to use my own on you, but looking at these, they actually are mine.“
Zenobia could not help uttering a groan. These knickers had originally belonged to Xenia, but when they had escaped from the ship, Andrea had put them on. They had taken the undergarment of their captors, since their own knickers had been totally sodden from being used as gags to them for weeks. Later, at Fiona`s house, they hadn`t found the time to organize fresh underwear and so, after Zenobia had been gagged with this pair of knickers, she had put them on, not daring to rummage through Fiona`s drawers. Besides, it was something that had Andrea`s fragrance on it.
But now, the memory of the fact that they had soaked Xenia`s fragrance, too made Zenobia retch as the blonde slowly, but thoroughly stuffed her mouth with them. Only when she couldn`t get them any further, she ripped Zenobia`s Camisole and tied a strip of cloth between her lips. This gag too was secured by a strap of wet leather, cutting into the corners of the Black`s mouth.
Now, Xenia ordered one of her men to look out for any approaching men whilst the other one helped her binding the two women. Again, Xenia showed quite a lot of sadistic fantasy.
First, she knotted a leather band to the little eyelet at the back of Andrea`s iron belt. Then, she threaded the end between Andrea`s legs and through her belt at the front. She tightened the crotch rope, almost playfully prising the woman`s labia apart to seat the rope there, causing Andrea to blush and to groan through her stifling gag.
Now, Zenobia had to sit on Andrea`s feet and to lean against her legs. Xenia tied the end of Andrea`s crotch rope around the Black`s neck, firmly, but not blocking her breath, then, she cut eight pieces of rope, each some yard in length. She forced Andrea to part her legs until her feet were some 20 inches apart. Now, Xenia took one of the ropes and tied Zenobia`s right upper arm to Andrea`s right tie. A second rope tied her elbow to Andrea`s knee and the third connected Zenobia`s wrist to Andrea`s ankle. This procedure was repeated at the left side. Then, Xenia took the next-to-last rope and tied Zenobia`s right ankle to a root protruding from the ground. With the last rope tied around the Black`s left ankle, she took it as a leash and pulled Zenobia`s leg behind her when she searched for another root to tie it to. This not only caused Zenobia to spread her legs wide, but also Andrea could no longer keep her balance, since her legs were tied to Zenobia`s arms. With a high pitched mew, she landed on her back, followed by a deeper groan as Zenobia`s backhead pushed against her crotch when the Black tried to minimize the pressure on her neck. Laughing, Xenia tied her left ankle to another root, forcing Zenobia to keep her legs widely spread. When she was thinking of which cruelty to commit next, the guard suddenly approached.
„There`s a boat not far from here. A canoe, with three Indians sitting in it.“
Xenia hesitated for a moment before she gave her next order. Pointing at their boat, she said with a sardonic smile:
„Take the boat and try your best to shoo them away. I don`t want any disturbance here. You don`t need to hurry, I am sure that I can keep myself occupied here whilst you are away!“

„What the hell ist that?“
When she had seen Curt, Laura first had been glad that he had recaptured the fugitive woman so fast. But then, he instead forced three younger women to enter the mansion. Each was dripping wet and clad only in her knickers. The three girls were gagged and had their hands cuffed in front of their bodies. Their ankles were cuffed, too, causing them to stumble over the steps leading inside the living room.
„Just found these around. I thought you might have use for them. I don`t know much about the ritual you`re planning, but maybe, these three will help.“
Curt did his best to look a bit dim-witted when saying so. he had not fully developed his plan and wanted to Laura and Nathalie to be unsuspicious for as long as possible. Nathalie, who had just entered, saw the three girls and smiled:
„Oh, I am sure we have a place for them!“
Falling into French, she quickly informed Laura that more victims would mean more years of staying young and pretty for Laura, who, fascinated by not having to pluck out her first grey hair before 1930, ordered to restrain the new „guests“ before Curt should continue his search for the missing woman.
Curt could see that all three captives were fascinated and horrified by the six naked, bound and gagged women squirming on the floor, all tied with their feet around an iron ring. Then, the blonde suddenly mmphed and toddled over to Clarissa as fast as her cuffed ankles allowed her.
„Uuhhmmph! Mhhmmmph!“
Clarissa answered with a deep groan. Meanwhile, the redhead had ungagged herself.
„Auntie Niamh!“, she cried before Curt jumped by and clamped her mouth shut. Laura showed her warmest smile, always a sign that she had something evil in mind.
„So, these are your nieces, Niamh and Clarissa? How nice, since these strong familiar feelings are quite strong emotions. And such strong emotions are a good thing, isn`t it, Nathalie?“
Nathalie nodded. She had been obsessed by occult rituals since she first had heard about them and had read all she could get during the last years. Now, at just 19 years, she was an expert on Black Magic – though she had not proved so far that any of these rituals worked. But she was absolutely sure that any emotion the victims had during the ritual would make them more valuable for Asmodeus, for he lived from feelings like fear, anger or love. The stronger, the better. At least that was what she had read from her books.
„Well, let`s put them together in a way they can exchange some – warmth“, Laura ordered. Smiling, Nathalie and Curt, who meanwhile had regagged Winona, took Alinda`s arms whilst Laura took a gun and watched Winona and the trembling Paloma.
Drawing by hugues66
Taking a padlock, Curt tied the chain between Alinda`s handcuffs to the iron ring the six women`s feet were tied to. Then, Nathalie stretched her body by pulling on her ankle cuffs. They took care that Alinda was lying atop of her aunt. This meant that Alinda`s face was resting on Clarissa`s naked lap whilst Alinda`s pantyclad pubic mound was pressing against Clarissa`s face. Both women moaned with disgust and tried to turn their heads away, but Curt just stretched Alinda`s legs and Nathalie hammered a nail through the chain between her ankle cuffs, forcing the blonde to keep her embarrassing position. Now, Clarissa was trapped under her niece`s body. By wriggling frantically, she managed to get her head free, but her body was still in close contact with Alinda`s equally nude forms.
Curt and Nathalie now grabbed the squirming and moaning Winona and tied her identically atop of Niamh. Questioningly, they then looked over to Paloma. Laura went over to the four women who of course were horrified of what had been done to Clarissa and Niamh. After a short while, Laura decided that Fiona looked the most disgusted and so, Paloma was tied atop of her. When Nathalie had nailed the Mexican`s ankle chain to the floor, Laura said something in French. Curt had to remember faking he hadn`t understood, for this idea was indeed naughty and humiliating, but also promised to be funny, albeit not for the captives.
Whilst Nathalie pushed Niamh`s body back under that of her niece, Laura pulled down Winona`s knickers to her knees. Niamh fumed and tried to wriggle away when her face touched the now bare pubic area of her niece. Nathalie slapped Winona`s butt, then, she pressed it down, causing Niamh to gasp for air. Now, Laura pulled up the knickers again. By stretching the material, she could get them over Winona`s hips and Niamh`s head, forcing her to breathe into the other`s lap.
„Mhhhrrrrrrr! Nnnggggg!“
Winona bucked and moaned whilst Niamh squirmed like an eel and tried everything to get her head out of the other`s knickers. She sure would have succeeded, but Nathalie had fetched a belt and buckled it tightly around Winona`s waist and Niamh`s shoulders. Now, with her head trapped in the gag mask, she could not move her head enough to wriggle her head free. Anyway, she tried hard for a while, causing Winona to rub over her body and sending small blows of hot air to her loins. Winona screamed through her gag and tried to get away from her aunt, but their struggling only increased their discomfort.
Of course, Clarissa, Alinda, Paloma and Fiona struggled as hard as they could as the same predicament was done to them. But bound and gagged as they were, they had no chance against the strong Curt who was assisted by the two wicked women. Finally, Fiona`s head was covered with Paloma`s knickers whilst Clarissa`s nose was buried in Alinda`s. The three villains enjoyed the captive`s humiliating struggle until exhaustion forced the older women to calm down and to concentrate on breathing, although they got quite a portion of the other`s fragrance on every breath they took.
„Well, Curt, see if you can find the other one, but if you will find even more like this, we will not blame you!“
Curt grabbed his rifle and left. Before he had seen the three girls, he had seen a footprint of a bare foot at the shore and he had already decided to follow that track before it would be washed away by the water.

Tom, Dick and Harry, who had been unsuccessful in finding the escaped girls, had returned to where they had catched Zenobia, surprised to find only one of the boats left. It was damaged, but they had quickly repaired it and decided to use it for their search. But instead of finding the escapees, they had been discovered by a canoe with two men in it. One was staking the boat, but the other one opened fire at them.
The three Seminoles had rifles, too, but these were lying in the boat and so, Harry answered the fire with his revolver. The fact that Xenia`s two henchmen were sailors who were not good at shooting whilst Harry`s revolver was not meant for distances bigger than 30 yards caused that the little shootout did not result in any casualties. When both sides had emptied their weapons, Tom and Dick suddenly took their paddles and hastily began to turn the canoe, Causing Harry to nearly fall overboard.
„You cowards, what are you doing? Get me my rifle and I will show them why they could never fully defeat us!“
However, his brothers continued paddling away from the other boat and Tom, not only the smartest, but also the most level-headed of the three, said:
„If we kill them, their friends will wonder why they are not coming back. Then, more will come and sooner or later, they will start killing any of us they can find, wether guilty or not. The Palefaces are leaving us alone here in the swamps, but this might stop if they think we are still a threat to them!“
Harry had the heart of a warrior, but he also wasn`t silly. He had to admit that Tom was right. Whenever an Indian killed a White, the White man`s justice wasn`t interested much in things like who had started the violence. Nodding grimly, he reached for his rifle.
„Am I at least allowed to keep them at distance?“
So, a strange chase began. The two men followed the canoe at a distance of some 40 to 50 yards. Though the second boat was heavier and moved only by one man, it would have been able to reach the three brothers for their canoe was only provisionally repaired and now water was coming in through the holes in it. But Harry had proved by firing at the other boat`s planks that he was the far better shootist and so, the two sailors kept away.
Suddenly, Harry could hear a curse from behind, followed by a shot that landed in the water some yards away. He spun around and could see three boats approaching, each with some three or four men in it. White men, and some of them had already opened fire.
„Quick!“, Harry shouted.
His brothers had already reacted to the new situation. The canoe came close to the shore and, followed by some badly aimed shots, the three Seminoles jumped from the canoe and disappeared in the trees. They had lost the already damaged canoe, but this was nothing they really cared about.
Two minutes later, the two sailors were greeted by the men in the three canoes. It had been too late for them to turn their canoe and hide. So, they quickly improvised a lie about them being traders of goods who had been betrayed by the Indians. The leader of the other group, however, didn`t seem really interested.
„Have these Indians had some women with them? White women who are held against their will?“
Whilst the man told them what they were searching for, the two sailors quickly made a decision. Sure, there was Miss LaFayette behind, the fiance of their employer. On the other hand, none of them liked the harsh blonde and in addition, they were not sure wether they would find the way back to New Hope on their own accord. The members of the posse could take them with them and they could start a new life. There still was Xenia`s bag, containing a few hundreds of Dollars and they could sure find a passage to a real city. If Xenia would find her way out of the jungle, they would be long gone. And if she would not return – well, nobody had forced her to explore the Everglades!
„No, the last women we saw were two whores in New Orleans!“
The members of the posse laughed and little later, they decided that they had done their best in finding the missing women. So, accompanied by the boat of the two men, they went back to reach New Hope before dusk. None of them spoke it out loudly, but they all were afraid of spending the night in the swamps with armed Seminoles around.
***
Zenobia wondered how friendly Xenia looked. The blonde had sat down between her splayed legs and was leaning on her left thigh now. She looked as if she was relaxing in a garden chair and her smile was warm and even her eyes did not show her usual coldness. With surprising tenderness, Xenia let her index finger wander around Zenobia`s right nipple.
„So, now this hunt has finally come to an end. Once we are in Cuba, you will become my personal slave. You will have to serve only me, day and night.“
„Mhhmmmph!“
„Oh, I know that you think different about that – yet. But let`s say I have an offer you cannot refuse.“
She now squeezed the Black`s nipple between her thumb and index finger. Zenobia bit down on the knickers stuffing her mouth, oppressing her squeal of pain. If Xenia thought that she could subjugate her by a little pain and torture, she would have to learn that she was no longer the simple slave she had been a year ago.
Xenia squeezed her nipple a little longer, but then, she let her go and playfully tickled her bellybutton.
„Oh, I know that you are a strong woman. Strong and proud. You can bare pain“, she let her hand wander down and her fingers explored Zenobia`s pubic hair. Then, she plucked some of her hair, causing Zenobia to cringe slightly and to press her head deeper into Andrea`s lap.
„Humiliation.“
She plucked out some more of her pubic hair. Then, she put her hand on her pubic mound and began to gently massage her.
„All I could do to you would not be able to make you surrender to me. But maybe, you are concerned about your friend?“
„Mmhhmmm?“
Zenobia frowned. If Xenia would hurt Andrea, this could indeed be able to break her will. She knew that Andrea would have done the same had she been the one Xenia wanted to get under her thumb. She tried to look calmly at the blonde`s eyes, but she was afraid what the sadistic woman had in mind.
„Well, I could of course just whip Andrea until her back`s a bloody mass, but that would be so uncivilized. Besides, I am only a weak woman and sure I would become tired after some dozen lashes. But I think I can persuade you to become a good, docile slave without more physical pressure than that.“
She continued her massage to Zenobia`s pubic area. She was tender, but of course, Zenobia didn`t answer in any way to her caresses. However, she was sure that Xenia had something devilish in store for her – or for Andrea.
„Cuba is a nice place to live, you will like my palace. But there are less nice places, too. In Havanna, there are some quarters where a decent woman can`t set a foot to. In the brothels, there are some of the worst creatures you can imagine. A pretty woman like your beloved friend would sure not stand longer than a year there.“
„Mmhhhmmmmph!“
„Ah, you seem to understand, Zenobia. Now, here is the deal. You will prove here and now that you accept me as your Mistress – and that you will not love anyone else but me. If you don`t convince me of that, you will say farewell to Andrea once we are in Havanna and within a few month, you would not even recognize her. But if I can believe that you are now mine, she will be set free. It`s your decision.“
Zenobia let out a groan of sheer desperation. Xenia again caressed the soft flesh between her legs. It was clear what Xenia expected from her, but how could she do that, with Andrea tied close to her? Andrea! Zenobia could feel her legs tied to her arms and even through her thick black hair, she could feel the warmth of Andrea`s womb. And then, she suddenly could feel something else.
Andrea`s fingers caressed her shoulders. She could not reach much of her, but Zenobia felt all of the love and tenderness Andrea felt for her. Zenobia was about to cry, but then, she understood: whatever she had to endure, she was doing it for Andrea and her beloved knew that she was only doing it for her. She leaned back, pressing her head deeper into Andrea`s lap and her friend continued to gently caress her shoulders and neck. Zenobia closed her eyes and concentrated fully on Andrea.
„Oh Xenia, you stupid bitch! You think you`ve found the whip to break my back, but all you can do will not be as strong as the love between me and Andrea. Your hand between my legs is nothing but a tool for us, since all I feel will not be meant for you, you poor, spoiled brat!“
She relaxed her muscles and began to slightly rock her hips, letting out a sigh. Zenobia kept her eyes closed and felt Xenia`s fingers move quicker. Andrea still was caressing her and now, the Black grabbed her friend`s feet tied to her wrists and squeezed them gently. When she squirmed a bit in her bonds, she could feel Andrea moving, too.
„Uuuhhmmmm! Mhhmmmmm!“
Zenobia had now completely blocked out Xenia from her thoughts and feelings. She was together with Andrea and the hand massaging her clit and labia was nothing to worry about. She could feel a warm tingle grow in her womb and when Xenia`s finger slid inside her, she sighed with pleasure and lust.
„So, you like that, you black whore?“
Zenobia now was about to laugh. This stupid girl really thought that she still was the one in command! She thought that she could really control her, whilst in reality she was just-
„Strictly speaking, she is now our slave!“
Zenobia could not help it any longer. The whole situation was so absurd that she burst out laughing. She giggled into the knickers stuffing her mouth until she was out of breath. So, it took her a while till she recognized that Xenia had withdrawn her hand from her pussy and that Andrea was squirming in her bonds and mmphing through her mouthfilling gag. Still shaken by her urge to laugh, Zenobia opened her eyes.
„Mmhhhmmmmph!“
She could see a tall blonde man standing close to her. He had grabbed Xenia`s scalp and was holding a gun to her temple. Zenobia first was feeling some relief. Once again, someone had seen her in the nude and in a humiliating position, but now, her ordeal would be over. But Andrea still seemed to be frightened and squirmed in her bonds.
„So, here we see again“, Curt said with a wolfish smile.
