International Affairs 20

Though nothing actually had happened so far, Sonja was torn between hatred and fear. She had always considered herself as tough and strong, but now, she was in no good position to fight. She still was trussed up as Linh had tied her hours before, with her wrists crossed at her shoulder blades, her elbows pulled together and drawn downwards by a rope connected to one running through her crotch and with ropes encircling her upper body. Her ankles were tied, too, and now, after some three hours in bondage, Sonja felt exhausted and knew that even if she got free, she would need some time before she would be able to walk, let alone fight.

The trip had been terrible, stashed inside the small suitcase, but at least, it hadn`t lasted that long. Then, the suitcase had been carried a few yards before it had been dumped on the floor and someone had opened it. With her head encased in duct tape, Sonja hadn`t been able to see who was it. Her captors had pulled her from the suitcase and sat her on some smooth surface that felt chilly on her bare skin. Sonja had to open her thighs to keep balance and she felt hands caress her sweaty body whilst someone else peeled and unwound the tape from her head. Finally, Sonja could see she was in some kind of living room, placed on a low glass table. The woman she knew was called Steph now pulled the stocking from her head and then removed the panties that hooded her, allowing Sonja to breath freely through her nose. However, they kept the scarf tied between her jaws and forced her to chew on the two pairs of used panties whilst they began to caress her and talked as if she was a guest that had come on her own will – or rather as if Sonja was a dog puppy.

»Now, Mommy`s gonna make dinner and then, we have all the time in the world to play with you, Rosebud!«

And indeed, they went to the kitchen that was open to the living room and started to cook, from time to time looking at the naked, bound and gagged girl, but behaving as if this was an ordinary visit. Sonja moaned, but they kept on ignoring her and soon, she could smell something delicious. To her embarrassment, her stomach grumbled.

»When they release me for dinner, I will ask them if I may go to the bathroom and then, maybe, I can-«

Her thoughts were interrupted when Steph put a white linen tablecloth on the dinner table and then, she and her friend grabbed Sonja and sat her on the table.

»Mhhmmm?«

»Oh, you will get something later, Rosebud. Now, we need you as decoration!«

The two women quickly put on two sets of plates and cutlery, together with two wine glasses. Whilst Steph now brought the deliciously smelling food, the other showed two candles to Sonja and lit one of them. When it burned, she said:

»Now, hold still or you will get whipped!«

Her voice suddenly sounded harsh, making the girl shudder. She then held the candle over her right knee and let some wax drop on it. Sonja bit on the panties filling her mouth and let out a mew as the hot wax hit her naked skin. The woman let more drop on her and then placed the candle on her knee.

»If you move and it lands on the table, you will pay!«

She repeated the procedure with Sonja`s left knee and now, she had to sit absolutely still so the candles would not tip over. She panted and watched the candles anxiously, trying to prepare herself not to twitch when the next drops of hot wax would hit her.

The two mean women now had their meal and apart from some lewd looks and a few comments about her being the dessert, they didn`t torture her further. Then, however, the meal was finished and Steph bent forward to let her fork brush over Sonja`s nipple.

»Now, time for sweets!«

BANG!

Suddenly, things happened very quickly. The door sprung open and at the same time, the window broke and a man in a black combat suit jumped inside.

»Police! Hit the ground!«

Like petrified, Sonja watched as suddenly a dozen of men seemed to crowd the room, forcing the two women to the ground and putting them in handcuffs. Others seemed to look for any potential accomplices and suddenly, she heard a voice from behind.

»S-Sonja?«

With some difficulties, Sonja turned her head towards the door.

»Mmhhmmph!«

It was Leonie, wearing a pair of leggings and an oversized T-Shirt. She had insisted to accompany the mission and so, she couldn`t have been too picky on what to wear.

Leonie had always had a good eye for details and she had noticed that both Steph and her friend had spoken in the dialect of the people who lived in and around Aschaffenburg. In addition, she had seen a badge with a coat of arms on Steph`s key ring. She had told all that to the Detective Inspector and so, they had been able to detect the place where these two women lived. The coat of arms was that of a small village near Aschaffenburg and there, only four women lived whose first name was Stephanie. Another quick search had told them that only one of these lived together with another woman and so, the Inspector had decided to give it a try.

»Sonja, oh my God, are you okay?«

Leonie came closer and took the burning candles from her, noticing with horror that hot way had dropped on Sonja`s skin. Then, whilst the policemen around still were busy in securing the area and getting the two women to the waiting police car, she pulled the scarf from between Sonja`s lips.

»Gllggg! Ghhmmph!«

Reluctantly, Leonie reached into her mouth and helped Sonja to get the two pairs of totally sodden panties from her mouth. The girl panted and some drool dripped on her chest. Leonie smiled, though she had tears of relief in her eyes.

»Sonja, it`s over! It`s all over now! Oh my God, I am so glad you are okay!«

She hugged her naked friend and pressed her to her chest. After some time, Sonja whispered:

»Leonie? I am glad and grateful, but may I ask one more favor from you?«

»Well – of course!«

»Cut me loose and get me to the bathroom! Quickly!«

Leonie stared at her and after a few seconds, she began to giggle. Sonja wanted to be angry, but now, with freedom so close, she couldn`t help and whilst Leonie went for a knife, she laughed, too.

***

Cordelia had always considered frustration as the inability of changing a miserable situation, but the last two days had set this on a completely new level. And the last hour or so had pulled the screws even tighter. She still was naked, bound and gagged and was on her way to a terrible fate, but now, she could not even find a valve for her fears and emotions.

She could not move, at least not in any way helpful. Her arms were welded together inside the armbinder, even her fingers were trapped and immovable. She was wedged between Janine and the box`s lid and could only squirm a little, causing her breasts and loins to grind against that of her unwilling companion. Cordelia could not scream, for a big pair of panties and a stocking stuffed her oral cavity and were sealed in with rounds of tape. All she could do was to wait in enforced silence – wait and sense how Janine was coping with her predicament.

Cordelia had managed to slide down a little so now, Janie`s pubic mound pressed against her lower abdomen. There, she could feel the buzzing of the vibrator that impaled Janine. She had so far never used one herself, but of course, Cordelia knew how these toys worked. And obviously, Janine was reacting to it.

Though she couldn`t see the other woman, she could perceive her with her other senses and these were telling their own story: the story of an actual strong woman that was trying to fight her growing arousal. Cordelia felt Janine`s pounding heart and how her chest heaved from her heavy breathing. She could hear her moans, her fluttering breath and her occasional sighs and Cordelia was almost glad that the panties over her nose filtered some of Janine`s scent. Now, as the car drove along in a relatively slow speed, the vibrator worked steadily fast and she felt how Janine began to squirm and rock faster, too.

»I wonder why this actually works! I never could get aroused in a situation like that!«

However, Cordelia also knew the answer: distraction. Giving in to the stimulation of the tireless toy was the only escape Janine had from her fear, her embarrassment and her anger. In addition, Linh had already stimulated her and now, the vibrator was just finishing her work.

»Uuuhmmm! Mhhmmmm!«

Now, Janine began to rock her hips and Cordelia shivered, despite the steaming heat inside the tiny box. She had witnessed how Janine had – cum the day before, but now, she would have to do more than just watch. She could almost feel how Janine`s hard nipples bored into her own skin and close as they were, she had to follow every move of her co-captive.

»Uuuhhmmmm! Hhhrrrmmmmmm! Mhhmmmmmmm!«

»Nnnngg! Mph!«, Cordelia protested, but Janine just didn`t care. She heaved up her pelvis, pressing Cordelia against the lid of the box, and then, she had to feel how Janine`s body became rigid and then, she spasmed and twitched, accompanied by muffled groans and sighs. Then, she collapsed and whilst she was panting as if she had absolved a marathon, Cordelia tried to catch breath by herself. Her corset felt even tighter now as she was trying not to suffocate.

After some time, Janine seemed to have relaxed or had fainted and Cordelia now sensed something buzz close to her inner thigh. Obviously, Janine had managed to move so much the vibrator had slid out of her and now just was lying there, trapped under Cordelia`s thigh. It was humiliating, but at least, it meant one thing: Janine would not climax a second time.

***

»Mph!«

For the umpteenth time, Nancy tried to swing around on her stick. She did so by raising her stomach and then let her middle fall down, causing her whole body to shake. Her stomach muscles already ached and also, the exercise made the crotch rope cut into her painfully, but Nancy knew it was the only way to move around.

Though she was tightly blindfolded, Nancy knew that the stick`s ends had been placed on two tables and she was dangling in the gap between them. Linh had joked that she would land on her boobs if she fell, but she also knew that the tables were just one yard high and that she was hanging even lower; the impact would be more inconvenient than painful.

»Mph!«

Collecting all her strength, Nancy once again twitched and this time, she was successful. The stick`s end slipped from the table and she landed on the floor. It took her breath, but after some panting, Nancy realized that this had not caused more than perhaps a few small bruises.

»All right, the first step to freedom is done!«

Nancy turned to her side and tried to remember how the room had been built. She needed to get close to a wall. There, she hoped that she would be able to push the stick from the ropes that were bound around her body and limbs at various places, allowing her to squirm and maybe even to get to her feet.

The concrete felt rough under her naked skin and the massive gag already made her feel exhausted. But, thinking of Kata, the tall woman persisted and slowly began to crawl. Progress was slow, very slow, and now that the pressure on her crotch rope had ceased, the pain had been followed by a terrible itch, but Nancy persisted. Sooner or later, she would reach one of the walls.

There was only one problem: if it would be later, Armin would be here before!

***

»Easy, girls, it`s just me!«

Cordelia mewed when someone touched her shoulder. Forced to breathe hot, musty air and exhausted from the latest encounters, she had more or less dozed off. She weakly turned her head and looked at Linh`s face whilst the air, though warm, hit her like a cold breeze.

»Just a short technical break before we cross the border!«

With some effort, she managed to pull Cordelia from the box and lower her to the ground where she let her sit leaning to the car. Cordelia looked around and saw they were in some forest, on a remote parking lot. Link snipped her fingers and said:

»Wakey, Curly! We haven`t stopped to loll around! I will now count to ten and when you are not standing when I reach ten, I will use the vibrator on you instead!«

Cordelia moaned with fear. She still felt as if she wasn`t even able to sit up properly, but then, when Linh started to count, she pushed her heels into the ground and arched her back, biting down on her vile-tasting gag and forcing herself upwards. Linh obviously wasn`t in the mood to be extra mean, for she deliberately counted very slow and even assisted Cordelia until she was standing on her wobbly legs, panting heavily.

»I will now remove the crotch rope so you can pee!«

It was embarrassing to have Linh fumble with the tight strap and also embarrassing as the Asian then made her stumble a few yards away and made her crouch. Cordelia groaned and closed her eyes in self-denial. When she was finished, Linh made her stand up again.

»We are close to the French border now. Will you be a good girl and not even think of alerting anyone?«

Before Cordelia could react, Linh pressed a cloth over her face.

»Uuuhmmph! Mmhhmmm!«

Linh held her in a vice grip and forced her to breathe in the narcotic. It took some time until it worked, since Cordelia could only breathe through her nose and that was covered by the stocking and the panties, but Linh kept her head pressed against her chest and Cordelia could not fight back, with her sheathed arms and her feet in cuffs. Her squirming became weaker and her desperate moans fainter. When her struggles ceased, Linh used her free hand to knead Cordelia`s breast and whispered:

»Sleep tight and have some pleasant dreams, Curly.«

She squeezed her nipple and from the weak protest, she could tell that Cordelia had nearly passed out. She repeated the game until she was sure that her victim had blacked out completely. Then, she went for Janine.

***

When she had finally reached one of the walls, Nancy was covered with sweat and dust and felt as if she had just ran ten miles instead of having passed maybe some six yards. But now, she had to do another effort, or all her previous achievements would have been pointless.

She managed to push the stick`s end against the wall and so, millimeter for millimeter, she could get it from the ropes that held her to it. Now, Nancy was still tightly tied and with her fingers wrapped in tape, there was no chance she could get loose on her own accord. In addition, Linh had also used cable binders together with the tape. Also, there was no chance of loosening her gag. But now, she at least had a little more ability to move.

»Uuuuhmmmmm! Mhhmmmm!«

It was strenuous to get into a sitting position, leaning against the wall. Then, she fought to get to her feet and fell twice before she was standing on her bound feet, panting and trembling from sheer exhaustion. With even her toes tied, her position was far from stable, but Nancy now forced herself to concentrate. If she hadn`t lost her sense of orientation completely, the door was to her right, maybe some five yards away – and Linh had left it open.

Nancy took a few breathes, then, she hopped. She almost lost balance, but managed to lean against the wall and to keep her standing position. She guessed that she had perhaps passed some two inches.

»Well, just another 100 hops to the door! Then, just a few thousand more until I maybe, just maybe reach the outside and someone sees me before I pass out!«

It wasn`t very encouraging, but as the Chinese said, even a journey of a thousand miles starts with a first step.

***

For about 90 minutes, Linh had thought that everything went well. She had passed the border without any problems and had driven another 50 miles when she had stopped at a petrol station. There, she had quickly checked her watch whilst she had filled her tank and she was sure that the narcotic would keep her captives unconscious for another hour or so.

»Time for a quick coffee!«

However, when she had paid for her petrol and the coffee, Linh had overheard the radio. Since she was fluent in French, she had understood what the reporter had said about a case of human trafficking gone wrong in Germany. With a terrible foreshadowing, Linh had quickly paid and then hasted back for her car where she had checked on the internet.

»Fuck! Fuck, fuck, fuck!«

There were more details about what had happened: four women, who had been abducted, had managed to get free and alert passengers on the highway South of Frankfurt. Their abductor had been arrested and the police was after his accomplices. Linh could find no more information, but it was enough: Alex had been caught and they now were after her.

Linh quickly considered her situation: sure, the German and the French police would work together and she was also quite sure that Alex would spill the beans to minimize his sentence.

However, there was still some hope. Alex only knew Guylène from the one occasion they had met a few hours previously and so, he could only tell the police that she lived somewhere between Frankfurt and Marseille. In addition, Alex would not talk immediately. He sure would wait for a lawyer and also try to make some deals before he told them what he knew. The German police was not known for torturing suspects and so, he could buy her a few precious hours – and that was all she needed.

Linh started the car and whilst driving back on the highway, she phoned Guylène on her cell phone.

***

 Nancy could see stars in front of her blindfolded eyes and was about to collapse when she finally felt something cold touch the tips of her bouncing boobs: she had finally reached the door. Shivering from relief, she leaned against the wall, careful not to push against the door; if it fell shut, everything would have been pointless.

Then, the girl heard steps from the corridor. Heavy steps, the steps of a tall, muscular man. Nancy held her breath.

»Nancy? Are you here?«

Then, he stepped inside and when Nancy could feel his hand on her naked shoulder, she could not help sinking against the man, sobbing into her blindfold.

***

Luckily, the narcotic Linh had used on her captives hadn`t been chloroform and so, Cordelia regained her consciousness without the sickness and the urge to vomit that usually came together with chloroform. However, that was quite the only solace for her.

She was still inside the box, still naked and with her arms inside the tight armbinder. Also, when she shifted her arms a bit, a sharp tug told her that Linh obviously had reapplied her crotch strap, even tighter than before.

»Nnnggggg!«

Of course, she still was thoroughly gagged and still had to chew on another woman`s used panties, together with a stocking of yet another one. Besides, the panties and the other stocking still covered her nose.

»Mmmhmmm!«

A faint moan close to her face told Cordelia that Janine was awake, too. However, it seemed that Linh had spared her the vibrator. There was no buzzing and Janine also lay still. A little blessing in their living nightmare!

As she more and more came to herself, Cordelia recognized another change. The temperature had changed. Of course, given that they both were still confined in a tiny box, it still was warm, but obviously, the air outside the car had considerably cooled down.

»Have we reached the mountains?«

Indeed, it seemed that the car was driving up some serpentines and Cordelia also felt some pressure on her ears, indicating that they had reached a rather high altitude. She frowned: hadn`t Linh mentioned that she wanted to meet Alex at Marseille? Obviously, Guylène, her buyer, lived in the mountains, maybe somewhere in the French Alps.

Her buyer. Cordelia shuddered at the thought of that word. The brown-haired woman had seemed friendly, but at the same time, she had paid money for a slave and also left no doubt about why she had chosen her.

»Hhrrrrmmmmmm! Uuhhmmmmmm!«

Cordelia screamed with sheer frustration.

»Mph! Mph! Mhhmmmmmmmmmm!«

Janine joined in, but all it worked was that soon, both women felt even more exhausted and helpless as the car brought them closer to their destiny.

***

»Nancy?«

The nurse slowly approached the tall woman in the hospital bed. Nancy blinked and looked at her, forcing herself to raise her head.

The man who had found her had been one of the policemen who had been searching the abandoned buildings, looking for her and the criminals` hideout. He had been tall and bulky, but that had been his only resemblance towards Armin for he had acted professionally. When the ambulance had arrived, he had already ungagged Nancy and had had been working on her bonds. The medics had insisted on taking her with them and so, Nancy had spent the night in the hospital, put to sleep by a mixture of a strong sedative and her own exhaustion. Now, the nurse held a tray with a mug on it and she showed a smile.

»There`s a visitor for you! I told her she could stay for fifteen minutes!«

Nancy wanted to croak that she didn`t want to see anyone and instead needed to leave immediately, but then, the nurse was pushed aside by someone in a hospital gown.

»Ka-« was all Nancy was able to utter when Katja stormed to the bed and slung her arms around Nancy. The nurse put the tray on the nightstand and withdrew, closing the door behind her.

For a few seconds, the two girls stared at each other. Then, they kissed, shyly at first, but then, both became more and more passionate. Nancy slung her arm around Katja, but the blonde slightly withdrew. Her cheeks had reddened and she breathed:

»My parents will come around soon. I think after all the trouble of my abduction, they will need a little break before I tell them the next breaking news.«

Katja softened the rejection by another kiss and reached for Nancy`s hand. Then, she smiled:

»However – they sure won`t refuse if I tell them that I need a week or two to relax. Somewhere at a quiet place, together with a friend. A strong friend that can protect me from all evils of the world!«

»Whom are you talking about?«, Nancy joked, but then, she suddenly became serious. Before she had fallen asleep, the nurses had already given her a short summary of what had happened: that not only Katja, but also Tina, Ulinka and Leonie had been freed and also the police had managed to find and rescue Sonja. Good news, but still, two women were still missing and Linh still was on the run.

»I am afraid we will have to delay that, Katja. My- my colleague – she`s still in the clutches of these criminals, together with the other one. And if I- if I had acted – more professional, all that ordeal could have been over yesterday!«

Katja could see a tear in the corner of Nancy`s eye and she bent forward and kissed her.

»You did it for me, Nancy! So, I can hardly blame you for that! But what can you do? Patrolling the way from here to Marseille, hoping she will show up? Please, you need a rest, too! Let your colleagues finish the job!«

Nancy forced herself to smile and shook her head.

»No, Dear. It was my fault and so, I have to find and rescue Janine. Besides, I might need not as long as you think!«

She looked at the door and pulled Katja closer to her. Then, she whispered into the blonde`s ear:

»When we found you in the garage and – took you with us, we left a tracking device. And since we managed to find the cellar inside the abandoned building, too, they still haven`t detected it!«

Katja stared at her, her blue eyes wide from curiosity. Nancy couldn`t resist kissing her before she continued:

»The tracker is hidden in the pink panties we used to hood the Asian with.« She giggled, but with a sad undertone.

»Janine – she was sure that the Asian would take that humiliation personally and keep these panties to use them for a payback. And as far as I could overhear, they used them to gag Janine, or maybe, to hood her, too.«

She stopped and both girls exchanged a short hug to cope with the memories of the cruel details of how they had been treated by their kidnappers. Then, Nancy said:

»The tracker`s signal reaches some 20 miles. So, all I have to do is to follow the road to Marseille and wait until I get the signal!«

At that moment, the nurse knocked and told them that the fifteen minutes were over and that Katja`s parents also had arrived. When she walked back to her room, Katja made a plan: she could understand that Nancy had to try to rescue her colleague, but Nancy would not have to go alone on that mission. Katja would insist on accompanying her!

***

»Now, isn`t that a lovely scenery?«

Under other circumstances, Cordelia would have agreed. The panorama window opened to impressive mountain scenery and the beginning sunset made the look even more beautiful. However, the circumstances weren`t for her to enjoy the environment.

Some minutes ago, the car had stopped and when the lid had opened, there hadn`t been just Linh, but also a tall woman, so black her skin hardly differed from the black blouse she was wearing. Obviously not the least alienated by the look of the two naked, bound and gagged women, she had helped Linh to get Cordelia and Janine out of the box.

Looking around, Cordelia had seen they were inside a parking garage. The black woman had opened the door of an elevator and after what seemed a trip of at least some 100 yards, it had stopped and opened to a large living room with sofas and a pattering fire in the open fireplace. Cordelia and Janine had been seated side by side on a large sofa that allowed looking at the mountains below and around them.

»You may be glad to hear that you are the only ones left«, Linh said with a grim smile.

»Alex has been caught and from what I could get from the internet, they also freed Melons and Rosebud. So, I am glad Guylène allowed me to stay with her for a while and even allowed me to stow my merchandize her.«

Linh patted Janine`s head, causing her to moan. The Asian laughed and said:

»Of course, this comes at a cost, as everything does. Guylène insisted that, as long as I stay here, she will be allowed to play with both of you. Well, I sure can understand that!«

She let her eyes wander over Cordelia and Janine who both felt all breasts and loins and cringed under her look. Behind her, the black woman licked her full lips, but when Linh turned around, she showed a cold smile that didn`t reach her eyes.

»She also insisted that when she arrives on Wednesday evening, you have at least learned the basics of what it means being a good pet. So, from tomorrow on, there will be a strict schedule waiting for you! Aminata here«, she pointed at the black woman who managed to curtsey without looking less frightening, »has promised to help me with your training. So, it will be maybe a bit more challenging than the little games we played before. But now, you may rest a bit. You may love to hear that Guylène said that you should not be separated for the night. You may consider the guest bed to be a bit narrow, but you will have each other!«

»Whether you like it or not!«, Aminata added. Linh bowed mockingly towards the two captives:

»As I have promised Curly before: you will make a lot of new experiences. Not pleasant, maybe, but sure interesting!«

The End
