Since Cheikh had decided to spend the evening with his wives, Arslan, who still was worried about another attack by Charifa, had decided to observe her house. Wearing an old cloak with a hood, he didn`t look suspicious and so, he could hang around beside the mansion, pretending to be a beggar.
When Charifa`s car had arrived, he had seen the Lady of the house, together with one of the twins and little later, these two had left, accompanied by Charifa`s nieces and a small woman that sometimes acted as Charifa`s lady`s maid. Arslan didn`t know her name, but since they all entered the car, it was clear that something important was going on.
Through Marrakesh`s narrow streets, it was quite easy for a pedestrian to follow a car and after a while, Arslan recognized that he knew the car`s way only too well: they were heading for Cheikh`s mansion.
„Do they want to launch an attack through the front door?“, he wondered when all but the driver, whom Arslan recognized as Layanah or Ghina, left at the mansion`s front door. Now, he could see that they all were dressed in formal, but also expensive clothes. European clothes. Obviously, their visit was something official.
To his surprise, the car now left instead of waiting for the others who now rang the doorbell. Arslan made a quick decision: whatever these women had in mind, Cheikh would tell him and so, he decided to follow the car instead. He guessed that Charifa had a reason to send away her employee with the car and so, he ran for the shed where he had deposited his motorcycle. Now, he could stay behind the car, even when it left the city for the hills.

„Mph!“, Dorothea moaned through her gag.
„Uuhhmm!“
It was all Magda could reply, though they were again quite close together. The evil women had failed in putting them into some new restraint before Magda woke up again, but they had to admit that they were quite imaginative.
Both women had again been stripped stark naked and had been freed except for their muzzle gags. Then, Lamina had taken two pairs of handcuffs and tied Dorothea`s left wrist to Magda`s rigth and vice versa, forcing the two girls to stand face to face, but leaving them enough freedom not to touch each other – though none of them would have considered a closer position too bad.
Then, Youra brought a long bamboo stick and tied one of Magda`s ankles to one end. With the help of the others, they stretched magda`s legs to her sides and tied the other ankle to the stick`s opposite end, forcing her to spread her legs in a way that would have made a ballet dancer envious. Dorothea, who had been forced to her knees in the progress, looked with pity at the strained muscles on Magda`s thighs and somehow admired her companion`s litheness. But then, Youra and Bineta grabbed her ankles.
„Mmhhmmph! Nnnnggg!“
Dorothea was sure that she was not built for such distortions, but after some struggling, she found herself with her legs tied to the stick`s ends, too. Her legs already hurt and when she squirmed the little she could, she felt her pubic mound rub over Magda`s. The only alternatives were either arching her back – which made her labia press against her companion. Or, they could press their boobs together to allow them the privacy of some inch distance between their pussies.
However, worse was to come. Two belts were leashed around their knees, forcing their legs and loins even closer together. Then, ropes were tied to the chains between their handcuffs and pulled to the stich`s ends, forcing them to stretch their arms to their sides, too. When these ropes were knotted off, the two damsels had almost no control about how their breasts touched each other whenever they took a breath or shifted their position. In addition, they knew that once Bineta would let their shoulders go, they would topple over to one side or the other and one of them would be buried under the other`s body.
It seemed that Lamina wanted to see at least to that, but it wasn`t an act of clemency. To Dorothea`s and Magda`s embarrassment, she took a rope and pushed it between the blonde`s legs from the backside. She reached under Magda`s body to get the end, ignoring the captive`s sense of modesty. When she had both ends in her hands, Lamina could pull them upwards, forcing both girls to lift their butts from the floor a bit and besides, they now had no longer the chance to keep their most intimate parts from touching permanently.
Lamina threaded the ends through one of the ceiling hooks, but she did not tie the rope off there. Instead, she brought the ends down and tied them around the women`s necks. Now, losing balance would have severe consequences, for Lamina had tied the classical hangman`s noose that would lead to suffocation once it was pulled too tight.
„That should keep you from too much sudden movement!“, Lamina laughed. Then, she pushed her hand between the two captives`s breasts and pinched one of Magda`s nipples.
„Mmhrrmm!“
The pain caused Magda to twitch and so, she and Dorothea needed all their concentration and skills to keep up their upright position. It was a horrible bondage and when the three women had left, both Magda and Dorothea had quickly come to the conclusion that moving as less as possible would be the best – as long as they could stand it.
Looking at her naked, sweaty companion, Dorothea had to oppress the urge to giggle hysterically. She had been tied that close to other women before, but now, she did not even have the chance of having some fun by that. She felt the other`s boobs prss against hers and she was almost sure that her nipples had hardened. She felt her warm flesh, could smell her and look into her beautiful eyes so close. She felt the warmth of her lap so close to her own, but if she responded to that, if she moved her hips or tried to rub her boobs against Magda`s, it could have been their last movement at all.
So, they just leaned their foreheads against each other and took the chance to hold hands. It was the only consolation they had in their current predicament.
***
Layanah definitely did not appreciate Charifa`s plan. Her boss had decided to make an offer to Cheikh he could not refuse. She wanted to confront him with her knowledge about the attack on Nadine and Alexa and his kidnapping of European women for his harem. Sooner or later, the French authorities would become interested and even if he could avoid going to jail, he would lose his reputation. That was, of course, if he would not do as Charifa proposed: become one of her employees and go back to the Senegal where he could establish his business, but under her guidance now. His business in Marrakesh would be the perfect startup for Charifa`s nieces, Aniqa and Ouarda – the reason why she had taken the two with her. Haniya completed the group just because she needed a maid.
Layanah had argued with Charifa that it would be too dangerous to go to the lion`s cave, but Charifa had been sure that Cheikh would not dare to do anything since several dozen people had seen her enter his mansion. The bodyguard, however, still felt worried when she stopped the car near the little house where they had left Nadine and Sally under the guidance of her sister and Durya.
She quickly went upstairs, only to be greeted by Sally who was sitting beside her sister on the bed, pressing a gun to Ghina`s temple.
„Feel free to say hello to her, but please, get to your knees and put your hands on your head!“
Taken by surprise, Layanah did not react. Sally now pulled on Ghina`s scalp and pressed the barrel harder against her head. Ghina could not help uttering a small sound of distress and so, Layanah obeyed. When Nadine approached and searched her for weapons, Layanah could see that not only her twin sister was lying on the bed on her belly, half naked, bound and gagged, but also Durya who was trying to look at her with widened eyes. Both women were tied with their feet to each other and their bound arms were somehow connected to each other`s gags, forcing them to arch their heads back.
„Now, as you can see, the situation has changed a bit. But don`t be afraid, we are not unforgiving. Once Dorothea`s free, we will go our way and leave you to whatever evil plan you intend to do next.“
Layanah looked for an escape, but the situation was quite bad. She was sure that the small blonde was no match, but the brunette looked as if she would use the gun if necessary and then, she would endanger both Ghina`s and Durya`s lifes – and Charifa would kill her if her beloved Durya would be hurt. So, she asked:
„So, you want me to go back to my employer and tell them about that?“
Actually, Sally had planned to truss up the other woman and to leave together with Nadine by the car, but this idea was even better. So, she nodded and said:
„Eh – exactly. You go to Marrakesh and we will wait here and take care of your sister and the other one!“
„Well, I would say that you will all come to Marrakesh!“, a male voice suddenly said. Sally, Layanah and Nadine spun to the window and could see a tall black man sitting in the open window. He was holding a gun in his hand and before Sally could react, he had fired the gun from her hand without hurting her or Ghina, though the latter mewed when she felt the draft.
„This gun has five more bullets and you are five persons. So, please, just do as I tell you. If you behave, then maybe you won`t be hurt at all!“
***
Cheikh had been more than surprised by Charifa`s visit and even more by the fact that neither her right hand Durya nor her two bodyguards accompanied her. Obviously, she felt save enough with just her nieces and her maid.
During the negotiations, Cheikh had managed to remain calm and had even played the gentle host, but once his opponent had gone, he was waiting for Arslan`s return like a tiger in his cage. Unable to sit down for longer than a few seconds, he walked up and down and when Bineta asked him if he would come, he shooed her away with surprising temper.
Women! Why had he been so greedy and always wanted more? His lust for European women now had become the nail to his coffin! Cheikh had always considered that as long as one was rich, he could do what he wanted. This sure was more or less true, but now, Charifa threatened to give information to the French that would leave him without his wealth after they had confiscated his business – and then, he would be just like any other criminal!
He had thought of raising a gun and kill Charifa, or take her and her nieces hostages, but as she had told him, too many people had seen ehr enter and besides, the rest of her employees was still out there.
Now, he was facing either financial ruin or becoming a subordinate to a woman he had thought would be no match to him just a year ago. Cheikh usually was a faithful Muslim, but now, he was about to open a bottle of liquor!
***
Bineta, Lamina and Youra weren`t too disappointed that Cheikh wass too upset for visiting them. They just returned for Dorothea and Magda who now were showing signs of exhaustion from not being able to change their straining position for some three hours. Both did not even dare to turn their heads towards the entering Blacks, since their previous movements had already tightened their nooses a bit and they had to concentrate fully on breathing and keeping balance.
Bineata and Youra removed the nooses from their necks, but forced them to stay upright by grabbing their hair. Both Dorothea and Magda panted when their throats were released, though they knew that these women had not come to be gentle.
„Once more, our beloved husband has decided to spend the night without us and so, we have to entertain ourselves by playing with you!“
They started a short discussion in their language, then, they seemed to appreciate one of Lamina`s ideas. Dorothea gulped, for this woman always had the meanest ideas. This suspicion grew when their hands were released and just tied the usual way behind their backs. Whenever their captors made a position easier, it was only the prelude for a new torture.
Leaving their splayed legs tied to the spreader bar, they bent Dorothea`s upper body back, forcing her to rest on her lower arms. When she raised her head, she could see that Magda was positioned the same way. Now, their boobs were pointing at the ceiling. Their leg muscles cried from tension, but this was not the end of it.
Lamina now put a bowl on Dorothea`s chest, then placed a similar one on Magda`s. When she filled it from a can, the captives could smell lamp oil. Lamina filled the bowls to the rim, then, she took two small candles and handed one over to Youra who lit both with a lighter.
„Mph!“
„Uuhmmm!“
Both Magda and Dorothea oppressed their screams and only twitched a bit when their tormentors let some hot wax drop into their belly buttons. It hurt, but it could be tolerated and after a while, the candles were put into their navels. When the wax cooled, it made the candles remain in an almost upright position – as long as Dorothea and Magda remained still. They had already spilled some lamp oil over their bodies and if the candles or the bowls would fall, they would burn themselves alive.
Now, Lamina sat behind Dorothea and began to play with her breasts. Dorothea mewed, but she did not dare to squirm and had to endure the humiliating massage motionless. A protesting sound from Magda told her that obviously she was treated the same way by Bineta.
Drawing by hugues66
„Just close your eyes and think of the Alps“, Dorothea thought when she suddenly felt a painful touch on her belly and needed all her self control not to twitch. Youra had joined the game and she did so by letting some wax from a third candle drip on the two helpless girls.
***
The same time, Wladimir and Alexa had reached Marrakesh and had checked in at a small hotel, pretending to be man and wife. Wladimir had felt strange by doing so, for during the trip, Alexa had occasionally touched his arm or caressed his neck when she had told him how brave he was. To his dismay, he was not immune to that. Of course, he loved Sally, but this girl was quite a promise.
Once in their room, they saw that there was no couch and so, Wladimir offered to sleep on the carpet.
„Oh no, you have driven all the way here and you must be tired and besides, tomorrow, you have to be fit!“, Alexa protested.
„So, do you want to sleep on the floor then? This bed`s too small for the two of us.“
„Well, maybe, you are right“, Alexa said, her voice sounding hoarse and her eyes glancing. She stepped closer to Wladimir who gulped when she started to play with the buttons of his shirt. Only after some seconds was he able to put his hands on her shoulders and to push her back. He pushed not very determined and she came closer, her breasts now touching his chest.
„Alexa, please, I am in a relationship and-“
She went on the tips of her toes and kissed him.
„I know, Wladimir. But I also know that I want you and I won`t tell Sally if you won`t. Now, what do you think? Will this bed be big enough for the two of us if we won`t lie side by side, but one above the other?“
Wladimir knew what he should have done, but suddenly, he found himself kissing Alexa. She let herself fall backwards and he landed upon her. When he felt her hands on his butt, he knew that he would regret – afterwards.

Cheikh was more than surprised when the court`s main door was opened. This usually only was done when he decided to use his car or when he expected a delivery by van or cart, but now, it was late evening and besides, the car wasn`t a van. Cheikh did not believe his eyes when he recognized the car of his rival Charifa.
Once the car was parked, the driver jumped out and quickly closed the door again. When he pulled down the hood of his cloak, Cheikh recognized his friend Arslan.
„Arslan, have you become mad? Stealing Charifa`s car?“
Arslan smiled and said:
„Stealing? Let`s say it`s a compensation, for I had toleave my bike behind!“
Now, Cheikh looked quite sheepishly and Arslan continued:
„When I saw Charifa was spending you a visit, I followed her car. I thought that whatever she wanted to talk about with you, it would not be too pleasant. Am I right?“
Cheikh nodded, considering whether he should be angry at his assistant for leaving him alone during the negotiations with Charifa. But more than anything else, he was curious. Sure, Arslan had not just decided to prank Charifa by stealing her car!
„Well, it turned out that at the place where the car finally stopped, there was indeed one of the girls that I had taken care of and that could get us into trouble by confessing against us.“
Cheikh felt a wave of hope, but then, he remembered what Arslan had told him.
„Only one of them? That means, even if you have her, she still has the other witness!“
Arslan kept up his enigmatic smile until Cheikh grabbed his collar. Then, he spoke with a drawling voice:
„Actually, the girl was not alone. Together with her, there was another girl. An Englishwomen, I presume, but I have never seen her before!“
Now, Cheikh fumed. This meant rather more trouble than less! However, Arslan now gently padded his shoulder.
„Together with these two girls were three more women – Charifa`s two bodyguards and Durya, her right hand and presumed lover.“
Now, Arslan waited until Cheikh understood by himself. If they had Durya in their hands, they would be the ones to give orders. If half of the rumors were true, Charifa would do everything to get her beloved assistant back!
As on keyword, Arslan now opened the car`s backdoor. In the rear, several figures were half lying, half sitting. Cheikh could not make out details, but he could see that it was a bunch of persons, all bound hand and foot. It was difficult to say who was which, for each had a sack pulled over her head and upper body.
Like electrified, he helped Arslan to get the captives out of the car and line them up at a wall. It were indeed five women. Each of them had her legs tied at the ankles and above the knees and more rope around the waist kept the sack in place. Some moaning and grunting told him that obviously all women were gagged.
Cheikh now saw that all captives had no shoes, but two of them who were the tallest were wearing trousers – obviously, it were Layanah and Ghina. According to the colour of the skin, he guessed that the one in the middle was Durya.
„Has anyone seen you?“, Cheikh asked his friend.
„Well, some hundred people, I presume. But none of them has noticed my freight. However, we can`t keep them until eternity. So, given the fact that Durya`s our most precious pawn, I will take her to a secure place and arrange a meeting with Charifa. It would be a bad idea to keep her here. Do you think we can store the others somewhere?“
Now, Cheikh giggled. He still was trying to cope with the change of his position in this negotiations and this was straining his self control. Then, he said:
„Just wait here for a moment, I will see if there is room for them in the harem!“
When he had gone, the tension fell from Arslan and he laughed, too. This was the first time when his friend`s zeal to get new women inside his harem would not be contraproductive to their business!
***
At her mansion, Charifa was wondering what took Durya nad the twins so long, but she still was in high spirits because of her victory against Cheikh and so, she, Aniqa and Ouarda were sharing a bottle of wine. Soon, very soon, she would be the only big diamond trader in the city and this would only be the beginning. She doubted that her nieces would ever become good businesswomen, but if she took care about which husbands they would get, she could become the matriarch of an empire.
Her thoughts were interrupted, however, when Haniya entered, dropped a courtsey and – of course – smiled apologetically.
„Madame, a messsenger just gave me this for you and insisted that only you should open it – immediately!“
Raising an eyebrow, Charifa took the small package. It had the size of a large envelope and it`s content seemed to be something very light.
„Maybe, Cheikh`s sending you a present“, Ouarda presumed and Charifa opened the package. Her first thought was indeed that it was a present. Then, she saw what it was and her smile froze.
Inside, there were two identical golden rings with a diamond in it. Rings she had given to Layanah and Ghina some time ago. They were wrapped in some flimsy white silk – a camisole Charifa knew only too well. She had once given it to Durya and had last seen it some twelve hours ago – when she and Durya had dressed for the day. Together with these items there was a short message inside the package:
„If you want to see them back alive, wait for further instructions. Do not call the police and don`t try anything stupid.“
With a strange sound, Charifa sank to her chair and her nieces now read the letter. They understood the meaning immediately and Ouarda quickly took a sip of her wine.
„Wha-what shall we do now?“
Aniqa looked like a frightened deer. She had always admired Charifa`s strength, though she did not appreciate her strictness. But now, Charifa looked as if all fighting spirit had left her. Besides, Layanah and Ghina were gone, too. They had become defenseless within a moment.
„We – we can do nothing but wait. Maybe, there will be a chance to change the situation, but for now, we have to do what this man wants!“
The way her voice sounded made the three others feel very helpless and weak.
***
With the sack over her head, Sally had not been able to see where she had been brought, but at least, it had also covered her bound arms, allowing her to work on her wrist ties unseen.
The Black had tied up Nadine, the Arab girl and her the same way by tying their hands and binding their arms to their bodies before binding their legs at ankles and knees. Then, they had been gagged with rags ripped from a pillowcase, sealed by some strips of tape. When the man had left the room, Sally had decided not to work on their bonds. This man was perhaps the man Nadine had told her about – the man who worked for Dorothea`s kidnapper. So, if she played the frightened girl, she could get to where her friend was and start an escape attempt then.
The Black quickly came back, carrying a coiled rope and some burlap sacks. Before they were covered by these, he freed Durya and Ghina to tie them like the others, but he left them gagged as Sally had done, only checking on their tightness. If he liked seeing Ghina with her pants down or Durya in her transparent outfit, he didn`t show it. He pulled up the bodyguard`s trousers before tying her up and when it was Durya`s turn, he only touched her boobs when it was necessary for tightening the ropes around her body and arms.
One by one, he pulled the sacks over their heads and upper bodies and secured them with some rounds of rope around their waists. Then, Sally felt that she was carried downstairs and dumped on something upholstered – a car`s backseat, she presumed. Her thought that this was better than the trunk was however lowered when the four other captives were stowed inside, too. When the car started, Sally felt quite uncomfortable entangled in the bodies of her squirming and sweating companions.
She had heard one of her fellow captives scream through her gag – Nadine, she presumed - , but the others, including her, had remained more or less silent until the car finally stopped. Sally had not been able to follow the short dialogue, for it had been in Arabic, but soon, she felt that she was carried somewhere again.
Now, she could hear the voices of at least two or three women who seemed exited, curious – and greedy. The scene reminded her a little of when Count Dracula had handed his greedy brides the sack with the child.
„Wherever we are now, I somehow doubt that these women will become allies!“
Indeed, Bineta, Lamina and Youra were more than keen on finding out what was underneath the sacks, but Cheikh had forbidden them to free their captives and told them that especially the two taller ones could be dangerous.
„Actually, I think that you three have played enough for one evening!“, Cheikh had said, looking down at Dorothea and Magda. On another occasion, he would have been angry about how his wifes treated his concubines, but now, he was busy with more important things. However, he had been impressed by the three`s imagination.
Magda and Dorothea were still sitting face to face or rather pelvis to pelvis, with their legs spread to their sides and tied to the stick. Both had their bodies arched back and now, their bellies were covered with splashes of wax. Their tormentors had removed the candles and the bowls filled with lamp oil, but the two girls felt far from being relaxed. Their cheeks still burned from the humiliating breast massage they had had to endure and the constant danger of getting burnt had torn on their nerves.
Whils Magda had not reacted too much to the newly brought prisoners, Dorothea had produced a sound of astonishment. She had seen that two of the four sacked women were European and one of them had a little birthmark on her right knee – just like Sally!
„If she`s here, we`ve got a chance to get free! The ropes to hold Sally permanently has not been invented yet!“
Dorothea had tried to communicate with her friend, but with the gag in her mouth, this had been a fruitless tastk. In addition, the cacophony of half a dozen women moaning and grunting through their gags made it impossible to say who had uttered which sound anyway.
„Mph!“
Finally, her left wrist had come free. Now, freeing her right hand was quite easy and Sally now listened closely. The men had gone and after some time, the women had left, too. Perhaps, they had just stopped talking and were currently watching Sally`s escape attempts, but she decided that it was worth the risk and continued to work on the ropes.
After a prolonged struggle, Sally had loosened the rope tied around the sack. Since she knew that it would help nothing if she removed it and their captors returned right now, she freed her legs before she pulled it from her head.
„Mmmhhmmm!“
In front of her, a blonde, naked woman, tied in a very uncomfortable position to another, was staring at her. Dorothea! Quickly, Sally ripped the tape from her mouth and spat out the gag.
„All right, just a few mor minutes and you are free“, she whispered.
