The customers arrived around ten o`clock. Since Renard had to be careful about whom he could tell about his business, he did not send invitations and hardly even phoned the diplomates and businessmen that showed interest in buying a woman. He had established a small group of persons who could be called regular customers, but every year, there were also some who he had never seen before.
Of course, he always feared that some of these could be undercover policemen and so, he had taken some precautions. Every customer he didn`t know needed a recommendation of one of the regulars and in addition, everyone was carefully checked for weapons. Even the proud men from Arabic countries accepted to temporarily hand over their daggers and so, Renard could be sure that any potential spy could not try to arrest them at once. Also, he always invited some French diplomates who were on his paylist. These would take care that any attempt to search his rooms would be delayed for one or two days at least and that he would be warned in advance.
Usually, he arranged the shipping of the girls during the same night or at the latest one day after. So, if the police would search his rooms, they would of course find his cellar, but neither him, his accomplices or any of the women.
Every year, the Hamam was closed for three weeks and of course, the first day always was that the auction took place. Then, once all transactions had been done, Renard and his men travelled to Switzerland where they hid the money on their secret accounts and spent some weeks of holidays. If they would hear from any investigations, they could easily get to another country or stay in Switzerland, since, though Renard took care not to expand his business, every member of his group of white slavers now had several hundreds of thousands. Renard was sure that he could become a millionaire during the next five years.
Usually, Mahmut kept guard at the door with a gun whilst Etienne and Jean assisted him with the guests. According to his advice, the men parked their cars at the abandoned ground behind the Hamam and entered through the back door where Etienne quickly did the body searching whilst Renard asked them for their recommendations or greeted those he already knew.
Sometimes, there was some little trouble when some men had forgotten their recommendation or refused to gert searched and this time, a big diplomate from the Arabic peninsula protested when Etienne tried to search him. He behaved as if Etienne and Renard were some servants who had just spilled tea on him. Two other men, another Arab and a slender man from Senegal, could not show their recommendation and so, Renard asked them a few questions about those that they pretended had invited them. The Black tried to bribe Etienne with 100 Francs, but finally, all his guests were inside at the men`s side where Jean served some drinks whilst Renard slowly opened the one sided mirror to allow the men a glimpse of his offers.
„Hey, who of them did this to you?“, a jovial Argentinian asked Jean, pointing at the bruise on his forehead. He obviously seemed amused when Renard showed him Sally.
„This would be a good present for my friend! He has sold me a cask of sour wine!“
Renard knew that his customers wanted to get to the other side to inspect the girls more closely, but he waited for a few minutes longer and watched. He was sure that a disguised policeman would somehow reveal himself, either by showing disgust when seeing the naked, bound and gagged women or by asking questions or by other suspicious behavior. However, it seemed that anything seemed okay and so, he led the froup of some 20 men over to the women`s side.
All the girls had already felt humiliated before, but now, they were completely reduced to be objects of interest. The men did not just walk around as if they were visiting a zoo or a gallery – they came close and touched the girls they were interested in. Everywhere.
Sandrine and Emanuelle pleaded with their eyes and screamed through their gags, but the men showed no mercy. Instead, they kneaded their breasts, tested the frimness of their butts or even looked for their teeth. It seemed, however, that the customers were not that interested in the two brunettes than in the other girls.
Maeva, however, seemed to be just exotic enough to attract more men touching her breasts and legs. The Arab who had previously had problems with his recommendation, a large man with a huge roman nose, asked Renard about her „qualities“, but seemed satisfied when he told the man that he „should find out by himself“.
Renard had told all customers about Sally being a feisty one and so, some tried to tease her to get some angry reaction. But, bound with her legs spread and thoroughly gagged, there was little Sally could do. She only managed to slightly knock her head against the Argentinian`s nose, but not enough to hurt him. The men grabbed her breasts, not too gently squeezing her nipples.
„I hope you will keep that spirit after the trip to my Hazienda!“
Being blonde and tallish, of course Dorothea attracted mostly the Arabs. She had never been shy about her body, but this was just overwhelming. The interested men not only touched her breasts, they also playfully pulled on the strap between her legs and spanked her butt. Dorothea closed her eyes and tried to endure all this, since she was helplessly bound and gagged and if she had fainted, she would have strangled herself.
Mitsouko involuntarily made the mistake of showing her panic which of course attracted some men who liked to dominate helpless girls. However, she could not help squirming in her bonds and screaming through the panties stuffing her mouth.
When they watched Madalina, some of the customers almost behaved childish. They removed the chock from the skids, making her rock on her beam. Madalina moaned when this made her press against her crotch rope and the balls started to rub over her most sensitive parts. She still suffered from not having been able to reach the climax previously and so, despite her fear, she also felt a slight warmth spreading from he womb and it was only when Etienne put the chock back in place that she was forced to stop moving rhythmically on the beam she was sitting on. Panting heavily, Madalina tried to relax, but once her arousal died down, her panic grew.
Renard did what he called the „acustic check“: He listened for the moans, sighs and muffled screams of the girls. Once they became less loud and desperate, he knew that the customers had seen and touched everything and were now interested in the auction itself.
Etienne brought a basket that contained six large black cloth he one by one draped over the girls, hiding them completely. Renard waited for the moaning to die down before he led the customers over to the men`s side where he had prepared a room with chairs and a little podium. On this podium, there was a wooden pole that was some seven feet high.
When all customers had taken a seat, Renard began with the auction. He knew that he had to start with the girl that presumably get the least interest. He had already considered to take Emanuelle and Sandrine for the warm-up. Both were pretty, but they were brunettes and besides, both were around 30. He hoped that the chance of getting two „sisters“ would raise the prize.
Etienne and Jean now brought the girls. Both had their hands cuffed behind their back and had also their ankles cuffed. The men tied the leashes they had put around the girls`s necks to the pole, forcing the reluctant actresses to remain standing. Now, Renard began to announce them, his loud voice drowning the damsels`s desperate moaning.
„Two lovely sisters from Paris, former actresses, dancers and singers. Bidding starts at 20.0000 Francs!“
As he had anticipated, only a few showed interest and finally, another man from South America – a young man who acted on the orders of his boss who had not made it to Francd himself – got the two girls for 30.000, despite Renard trying to tease the other bidders by telling them some stories about the „qualities“ of the girls.
Once the man had paid in cash, both Emanuelle and Sandrine were released from the post. They were led to a corner and forced to their knees. Jean and Etienne released one of their ankles, only to thread the chain through that of their handcuffs. When they retied their ankles, the mere hogtie forced the two girls to remain in their kneeling position. Each got a sign hung around their neck, simply saying „SOLD“.
Of course, this sign would have been unnecessary, but it emphasized the fact that they were no longer free human beings and added to their humiliation and helplessness.
„Now, a young girl from the land of the rising sun!“
Mitsouko involuntarily helped to raise the bids. She squirmed in her bonds, pleaded through her mouth filling gag and even had some tears in her eyes. Even Renard now felt some pity as this performance did not attract the most gentle of his customers. The fat Argentinian and two men from North Africa started a veritable bidding battle and finally, one of the desert sons got Mitsouko for 175.000. However, the Japanese seemed not to be flattered by the high sum.
„I hope that the two brunettes will not become too envious.“
Now, he ordered Maeva to be tied to the post. She showed her anger, but also some self control and so, the interest was not that high. The Arab with the roman nose reached the acceptance of his bid at 40.000.
When Maeva was tied in a kneeling position beside the other three girls, the Arab went to Renard and spoke in a low voice, showing a strong accent:
„Unfortunately, I have forgotten my purse. My servant usually takes care of such things! I will have this useless idiot whipped, but is it possible that I pay by cheque?“
Friendly, Renard denied this. Cheques were too difficult to explain and so, he could only offer the Arab to pay the next evening.
„She will go on the Southern route and so, she can`t be transported before the next night anyway. If you will be here before dusk, everything will be all right. If not, she will go to the man you have just outbidded.“
For a while, it seemed that the Arab was angry about him doubting his credit-worthiness, but then, he accepted, mumbling some curses.
„Now, nothing for the faint of heart! A young girl from England who needs some education, but who has real fire in her veins!“
„I am Scottish“, Sally thought. Somehow, this detail insulted her more than being presented naked to some men who wanted to buy her as a sex slave. She still was tied with the armbinder, forced to thrust out her breasts, and the crotch strap cut into her pussy, but she remained calm and looked at the bidders with her grey eyes. She had sworn to at least keep some dignity.
„Bidding starts at 20.000!“
„Mmhhmmmph!“
Sally protested and since Renard had stepped quite close, she managed to pull his leg with her bound feet, causing him to stagger. The audience laughed and first offers were made.
„As you see, she really has some temper! But once she is tamed, you will have a real jewel!“, Renard announced, forcing himself to smile, though he felt angry about the fact that Sally had made him look ridiculous.
„30.000!“, Roman Nose yelled.
„31.000!“, the man from the Senegal replied.
„40.000!“
A murmur went through the audience. Usually, the sum was only risen by a thousand Francs at each bidding. But now, it seemed that the big Argentinian seemed to be really interested. The sum rose quickly. The roman nosed Arab stopped at 50.000, but the two Argentinians, a man from the Chad and an Algerian continued the fight for Sally.
„80.000!“
„90.000!“
„100.000!“
Now that that magical barrier was reached, the bidders became once again more cautious. The Algerian acted as if the fact that he could not pay for the girl would doubt him being a man and so, whe even the experienced Renard was exhausted, he rose to 200.000. After a while, Renard said:
„Sold for 200.000!“
„Mph!“
Sally nodded, obviously satisfied that she had beaten Mitsouko. The audience applauded, but the Algerian hissed to her:
„I have been training horses for 50 years and I will not capitulate to you, little pony!“
He gave Sally`s crotch strap a brutal yank. Sally bit down hard on her gag and her eyes watered, but she managed not to scream. Renard prevented her from further pain and led her over to the other sold damsels.
„Now, a Carpathian rose that longs for a real man in her life!“
Madalina was brought to the pole. She trembled and blushed all over when the men examined her naked buxom forms. Etienne had removed the crotch strap and now, not even a single hair protected her pubic mound from view. Her breasts, already big, seemed even more emphasized by the narrow corset, as were her round hips.
„50.000!“, the big Argentinian yelled before Renard could even name a sum. But since he had intended to start at 30.000, he was satisfied.
„51.000!“
It was the other Argentinian, the one who had already bought Emanuelle and Sandrine. Renard wondered what a man from a country where there were no harems wanted with more than one girl, but that was not of his interest.
„60.000!“
The big Argentinian obviously wanted to shorten things, but the other raised the bid for another thousand. Others joined in, but it could be seen that this would end up in a South American duel. The big man was known to Renard as an unscrupulous businessman from Buenos Aires, but the young man acted in the name of some Bernardino DeRossi. Renard had never heard this name before, but the recommendation had looked more than convincing.
„130.000!“
„131.000!“
It was like a torrero teasing a bull. Whenever the big man rushed ahead, the young man countered by raising the sum just a bit. Whilst the fat man seemed increasingly angry, the other one still smiled and looked as if they were talking about cents.
„181.000!“
„200.000!“
When the sum had reached 250.000, it was clear that both contrahents had reached their financial limits. The young man now seemed slightly exhausted, too. Then, he once again smiled and said:
„250.000 and my golden watch!“
Some men giggled, but most of them were just relieved that this was over. The fat Argentinian smiled scornfully.
„250.000 and my car! It`s worth 12.000!“
The young man stopped working on his wrist watch band and smiled apologetically.
„Unfortunately, my car`s worth is only 7.000.“
The other man snorted with contempt and Renard wanted to say that he would get Madalina when the young men continued to speak:
„However, I am quite sure that Monsieur Renard is not that interested in cars. 270.000 in cash – my last offer!“
Now, the fat man jumped from his seat and left the room. The others applauded and the young man paid. Renard recognized that now, the man`s suitcase was empty. Obviously, he had really been interested in the Romanian. Renard quickly added the sums and smiled.
„715.000, and the blonde is still available!“
Of course, there were some expenditures and the money would be divided by four, but two days later, each of his gang would be some 200.000 Francs richer.
„And now, last, but not least, a German Amazone!“
He opened the bidding for Dorothea at 50.000 and now, mostly the Arabs and Blacks were competing. However, after the battle of the two Argentinians, this auction was an anticlimax and so, although the man from the Senegal finally paid 201.000 Francs, the bidding was rather unspectacular.
Little later, the customers left. It was unusual that the men took the girls with them, although this happened from time to time. But most of them preferred the „railway system“ Renard had developed.
Each day, some dozens of good trains left Paris and some of the wagons belonged to Renard. They were used on a regular basis, usually carrying unsuspicious goods. But on the occasions when he had to transport his captives, he just gave the customers the wagon number and the time the train would reach it`s destination.
Renard used two routes – the „Southern route“ that led to Marseille and which was usually used by his customers from Asia and Africa. Those from South America got their damsels sent via the „Northern route“ that ended in Brest.
Renard had already planned everything. The next possible train to Brest would leave in four hours and so, they would have to hurry if they wanted to get Madalina, Emanuelle and Sandrine ready for shipping.
„Luckily, this young men bought them altogether, that makes things a lot easier!“
Mitsouko, Maeva, Sally and Dorothea were all bound for the Southern route – which meant that they would have to wait until the next evening.
„All right, let`s get our guests prepared for shipping!“, he announced his men who approached the seven naked, bound and gagged girls, now all sporting a sign saying „SOLD“.
***
„Uuuhhmmm! Mmhhmmmmmmph!“, Dorothea moaned through her gag.
„Mph!“, Sally answered.
Whilst the other damsels had been brought outside, Sally and Dorothea had been left in the presentation room, guarded by Etienne. With considerable glee, Renard had announced that, since they were about to be separated, they would be given „some interesting and close time together“.
Both girls still were wearing their armbinders, together with the straps over the shoulders, around their waists and through their crotches. Their mouths were still stuffed with the strange panties, but the men had replaced the uncomfortable leather cleave gags by the original muzzle gags.
After they had taken the black boots off from Dorothea, both had been seated on the „rocking horse“. The two girls were facing each other and Jean took two leather belts and tied Sally`s left knee to Dorothea`s right and vice versa. Then, they carefully balanced out the two girls, ensuring that the beam was horizontal, though Dorothea was heavier than the petite Sally. As a crowning touch, Renard connected both girls`s crotch ropes with a tight rope.

„Struggle all the way you want! Maybe, you will get some pleasure from it!“
Indeed, each move made the rope pull on both their crotches, but with Etienne around, both girls knew that struggling would be a bad idea. Besides, even Sally knew that it was impossible to get out of an armbinder.
***
„I hope you don`t mind that you will have to share the same box. But you will get very very acquainted sooner or later anyway!“, Renard mocked.
They had removed the ankle ties of Emanuelle, Sandrine and Madalina and forced them to walk to a room close to the back door. There, a large box was waiting. It looked like a big steamer trunk and was upholstered at the inside. The lid had two holes in it, each some inch in diameter.
First, it was Sandrine`s turn. They quickly replaced her cleave gag with a muzzle gag, taking care she could not spit out Emanuelle`s panties and stuffing them even deeper into her mouth. Since her gag had become slightly smaller from being soaked with saliva, Renard took one of the two panties left from Madalina and cut it into halfs before wedging one part into the retching girl`s mouth. When the muzzle gag had been buckled tight, Sandrine could only utter the faintest of sounds.
Sandrine was only tied with her hands cuffed behind her back, but Renard knew that the narrow box would prevent her from movement. Usually, such a trunk was only used for two girls. However, he wanted to improve on rendering her even more helpless.
Taking a long rope, he tied a hangman`s noose in it. Sandrine mewed with alarm when he stepped behind her, but instead of getting the noose around her neck, he pulled it over her bound wrists and up her arms.
„Uuuuhhhmmmmm! Nnnnggggg!“
Sandrine moaned when he pulled the noose tight around her elbows, above the joint, until her elbows met. Then, he led the end between her legs, avoiding her bound wrists, before slinging the rest of the rope loosely around her neck. Sandrine mewed with pain and blushed from being forced to arch her shoulders and to thrust out her breasts.
Now, Renard tied four leather belts around the naked girl`s legs – at her thighs, above and below the knee and around her ankles. Sandrine stood slightly shaking, fighting to keep her balance. Renard loosened the rope slung around her neck and pulled.
„Mmmhhhrrrrrr! Uuhhhmmmmmm! Mmmmhhmmmmph!“
The girl squealed when the rope sunk deep between her legs. Renard brought the end over her left shoulder, threaded it over her elbow tie and brought it back over her right shoulder. Then, he worked the end between the girl`s legs, pushing his hand between her tightly bound thighs and ignoring her modesty. Her once again pulled the slack out, then, he tied the end off to Sandrine`s wrist ties. Now, the girl had two ropes running through her crotch that were rubbing against her soft flesh on the slightest move. However, Renard had not pulled the rope too tight, for a reason he would soon reveal to the girl.
Mahmut and Jean carried the bound and gagged girl to the box and sat her inside. They stuffed her inside, forcing her to bend her legs and when she sat, her chin was touching her knees, her arms were trapped between her back and the trunk`s side and she could harld move anything but her head. The two men pushed her against the left side of the trunk, since there were two more passengers who would have to fit in.
Emanuelle was tied identically. She, too, had her gag reinforced with half of Madalina`s panties and she also now sported an irritating rope through her crotch. When she was placed inside the trunk, she was pushed to the right, making some space for Madalina in the middle of the box. Both girls now looked over the rim of the trunk to see what would happen next.
Madalina tried to steel herself for to get tied like her companions, but instead of tying her up, Renard loosened the laces of her corset.
„Uuuhhmmmm! Mmmhhmmmph!“
„Just to help you to fit in“, Renard mocked when he tightened the corset to alevel that made breathing difficult for the bound girl. Then, he removed Madalina`s cleave gag. He pressed Mitsouko`s panties deep into her throat before he took her remaining pair.
„You`ve got a pretty, but big mouth, don`t you agree?“
„Uuuhhmmmmmph! Nnnnggggg!“
Madalina moaned and retched when he stuffed the second pair of panties into her mouth, puffing out her cheeks and compress her gag to an almost unbearable level. Her moans were reduced to faint grunts in the back of her throat. Before he buckled the muzzle gag over her mouth, he produced something red: it was the front panel of the thong Madalina had been forced to wear previously.
„Just some memory of luckier times!“
He placed the smelly cloth over her nose and buckled the gag in place. Now, Madalina was forced to breathe through the crotch part of the thong – the thong she had been wearing when she had got aroused whilst wearing the crotch rope.
„Ah, I can see you are remembering it. Are you missing it, too?“
Madalina vigorously shook her head when she felt Renard reach between her legs. She squirmed and mewed and tried to get his hand away, but Renard was stronger than her and so, she finally had to stop fighting when she had to fight for breath.
All the time, Renard had kept on massaging her clit and since he knew exactly where to touch her, Madalina suddenly felt a warm tingling and she shuddered when she realized that obviously this man could control her body better than her.
„Mmmhhhrrr! Uuuhhmmmm!“
Her oans were barely audible through her stifling gag and Madalina had to concentrate on breathing with her sides compressed by the corset and her nose covered by her moist panties.
„Why can`t I be stronger? Why is my body betraying me? Why-oohhh!“
„Mmmhhmmmm!“
Madalina reardd up when Renard`s finger slid inside her. For a short while, he kept on massaging her, but then, he withdrew his hand. This time, Madalina had not been as aroused as before, when the four men had teased her altogether, but her sigh was more a sound of disappointment than from relief.
Distraught as she was, it took Madalina some time until she realized that the men had tied her legs with leather belts, but not forced a rope between her legs. Instead, a fifth belt was tied around her elbows, forcing her to thrust out her big breasts even more and causing her to mew with pain.
She then was stuffed inside the trunk, too, between the two girls already inside. Madalina could feel the heat from Sandrine`s body left to her and from Emanuelle`s body at her right. The three girls sitting side by side hadn`t more room than sardines and they were forced to sit with their legs bent and their chins resting on their knees. All they could do was wriggle their fingers and toes and move their heads.
„So, Mademoiselles, take a last look on Paris!“
He closed the lid, forcing the three women to lower their heads before he could close the locks. When the men now listened at the trunk, they could only hear small sounds, though they were quite sure that the girls were trying to scream with all their might. Of course, the damsels could be heard, since they could not block the air holes or stuff their noses, too. But the trunk would be transported in a way that would hide the little noise the thoroughly trussed up and gagged women could produce.
Slightly sweating, Renard told Etienne to help them load the heavy trunk to their van. Then, he took another suitcase in which the money was hidden and they left. It was a risk to leave the girls alone, but they would need their combined strength to stow the trunk and besides, all four girls were securely tied up and gagged. Mitsouko and Maeva were allowed the relative comfort of lying on the beds in the cellar, but Sally and Dorothea were still riding their beam.
Once Etienne had disappeared and they heard the engine of the disappearing van, Sally looked at Dorothea and made an encouraging sound through her gag:
„Mph!“
„Mmhhmmm?“
Dorothea took some time to understand, but then, she joined in Sally`s movements, though she saw no point in trying to get free, bound as they were. Even if they would be able to slip from the beam, they would still be bound with the armbinders and with their arms pressed firmly together, their fingers made immobile and with no possibility to slip their arms from the tight leather sheath, they would remain absolutely helpless.
„Mph! Mph!“
Sally continued to rock her body, causing the beam to move up and down. She shared Dorothea`s concerns about their ties, but this was no reason to give up for her.
