Time Out Of Time (Chapter 40) [Mf, MFf, bd, exh, sm, inc, nc] When we entered, I noticed that the girls had managed to release Elizabeth from her chair. Amy had dug out some CD's from her suitcase somehow and the girls were quietly relaxing, listening to what sounded like Mozart. Christi and Amy lying back at opposite ends of the couch and Elizabeth curled up on the floor. I motioned for Jane to join the relaxing women as I dropped wearily into the easy chair that had so recently held Elizabeth. Mozart crashed over me as I closed my eyes for a second. After a few moments I opened my eyes. Four nude women, their hands handcuffed behind their backs. Trying hard not to attract my attention. Jane curled up on the carpet beside Elizabeth. What the hell was I going to do with them tonight? I was far too exhausted to torment them any further. I idly noticed how my thoughts automatically assigned normal time to our situation. A glance out the window would show that the world hadn't moved an inch from morning when I'd stopped it. The bright sunshine still beaming down on the world. But our bodies and minds appear to have some rhythm of their own. So it was nighttime. Despite what the outside world was telling us. Tearing my wandering mind back to the girls in front of me. I had to decide what to do with them. Before I fell asleep. I'd been careless last evening. And I'd almost paid the price for it. If it wasn't for Jane not quite having the courage to continue, I'd have either found out the consequences of death in a strange timeline or had to begin this whole adventure over again. Neither case particularly appealed me. I'd invested a lot of time and energy setting up this situation. And if the equations were wrong, my death could have some really serious consequences. I had to make sure that the women were secured tonight. No mistakes. Jane tied the best knots out of all the women. I opened my eyes again with an effort. I looked down at Jane. She was still breathing hard from climbing the stairs to the penthouse suite. Her bare breasts rising and falling as she rested. "Janey?" "Sir?" she was pretty tired too, I could tell. "Come here." Jane wearily obeyed. Struggling back to her bare feet and padding over to where I sat. "Wrists." Jane turned herself around and held her wrists out to me behind her back. I fished the key out and released her slender wrists from their confinement. I idly played with the handcuffs as Jane turned herself back around rubbing her wrists. She had put down the nipple clamps, without permission, as she had initially settled to the floor. I decided to let it slide. I was far to tired to even consider punishing her. And she was too tired to take it. Last thing I needed was really rebellious women when I was this tired. I wasn't even sure I had the energy to stop her if she wanted to attack me, much less manipulate time. "Jane. I want you to tie Amy and Elizabeth up." The protests began from Amy and Elizabeth immediately, but a single weary glance silenced them before they could really irritate me. "How?" "How?" my mind was really beginning to have trouble concentrating. "How do you want me to tie them?" Jane was getting a bit exasperated. I couldn't really blame her. "Securely. To something." "Together? Uncomfortably?" "Together. Don't really care about comfort. Make them as comfortable as practical. They'll be in it for a while." Jane nodded wearily and wandered over to Amy and Elizabeth. She touched Amy's arm and urging her to her feet. Elizabeth struggled to her feet from the floor. I closed my eyes, hearing Amy's and Elizabeth's small moans over the Mozart as they were moved into position and secured. Once I heard Amy plead, "Please sir. Please I don't need to be tied up." Only to be shushed by Jane. I had just about begun to doze when Jane touched my arm, almost startling me. Christ. I had to keep my eyes open until I was done with the girls. Especially with Jane free and about. I'm suspecting that I was really lucky that Jane was as exhausted as I. I snapped awake. Amy and Elizabeth were standing in the middle of the room. Hands still handcuffed behind them. Jane couldn't have taken the cuffs off the women anymore than she could release her own wrists when I had them cuffed. No key. Amy and Elizabeth facing each other. Bare breasts pressed together. Soft rope holding their ankles together. Rope encircled their ankles, knees, thighs, waists and under their arms holding them firmly together. Their faces only inches apart. A loose rope held their throats, and a very lax piece ran upwards from their throats to one of the plant hooks. They'd be okay as long as they remained standing. A crotch rope was worked around their hips, the rope running through their vaginal lips, joining them together. All in all, a very attractive job. They weren't going to get much sleep tonight being unable to lie down. But that didn't particularly concern me right now. I'd give them a rest in the morning. I was simply too tired to care. Realizing that they were going to be stuck like that for a while, if I was going to sleep, Amy looked at me with tears in her eyes. I handed Jane the key to Christi's handcuffs and motioned her to free Christi. Jane padded over to her task without complaining. Amy, her lower lip quivering, spoke from her bonds. "Please. You don't have to do this. I'll be good. I promise. I'll make love to you before you sleep. I'll crawl for you. Handcuff me to something. Please. Not standing. I'll never sleep." I rose from my chair and walked over to the two girls standing tied together. I just pressed my finger against her lips, and she obediently quieted. I checked the ropes. Not tight enough to cause real discomfort or hurt their circulation. Although I couldn't imagine the crotch ropes being overly comfortable. I looked over at Jane. A bit surprised that she had added that touch on her own. Strictly it hadn't been necessary. I was so tired I wouldn't have even though to tell her to do it. Damn that girl, beginning to know me better than I know myself. Elizabeth's face, silently pleading with me not to leave them like this for the night. I whispered to the girls, "Ladies. I know you are uncomfortable. Spend the night like this. Try to sleep. Okay? If you can't I'll let you sleep in the bed tomorrow after I wake. You'll be alright. Just quiet. I don't want to have to gag you." Amy just nodded. Tears spilling over her eyes. Elizabeth, just relaxed as much as she was able. These were going to be very tired girls in the morning. I'd deal with them then. I was almost asleep on my feet. An evil thought occurred to me as I turned to gather up the remaining two girls. I leaned in towards the bound girls. I gave them both a kiss on the cheek, whispering to Elizabeth as I did so. She initially shook her head, but a quick open hand on her backside convinced her. Tears in her eyes, she leaned her head forward, and before Amy could react, kissed her full on the mouth. To my surprise, Amy didn't back away from the kiss but rather returned it. Softly crying. Elizabeth broke the kiss and looked back at me. She said simply, "Good night, Sir." Amy echoed the words, quietly. I stroked their hair and whispered, "Good night, girls." I walked over to Jane and Christi. Both completely free of bonds and gave them my arms. Each took one and as we passed the stereo, Jane flipped it off. Mozart faded. Christi touched the light switch as we passed into the hall plunging the two bound girls into darkness, each emitting a small cry. As soon as we made it to the bedroom, I flopped down on the bed. Closed my eyes. A moment later, I opened them. Without any instruction at all, Christi had automatically cuffed Jane's hands behind her back. I watched wearily as she guided the naked teen to the desk chair. Jane sighed as she sat down. Christi knelt and quickly wrapped soft rope holding Jane's ankles to the chair legs. There wasn't a scrap of resistance from Jane. She might have even been more tired than I. I hadn't had to walk for what seemed like miles, hobbled and barefoot struggling with the pain of nipple clamps. Jane settled into the chair and closed her eyes. As I watched, her breathing became more regular and her head fell quietly forward. I don't think I'd ever met anyone that was able to fall asleep as quickly as she. But I guess I'd put her through an awful lot today. Her nipples, softly moving with her breathing were still an angry red. I felt a quick pang of guilt for causing her that pain; I pushed it away. I guess I was just more tired than I thought. Christi, had walked over to the bed where I was lying. Her hands pulling at my clothes. With a little help from me, soon I had lost my clothes, idly I watched as she carelessly tossed them about the room. Shirt over by the dresser. Pants at Jane's feet. Shoes, at the foot of the bed. I took a deep breath as her hands found my penis. I was ready in a second. Four nude, captive women. Plus all the adventure today. Those poor girls tied up in the mall. Tormenting them. The Ashley enigma. Jane's masochistic tendencies surfacing. The lawyers. Punishing Amy and Jane. The memories flooding over me. I was more than ready as her soft lips slipped over the head. Her soft tongue running over the length of me. Lightly sucking. My hands resting on her hair. Stroking her head as she used her mouth. Finally, my hips rising from the bed. Thrusting into her teasing mouth. Climaxing. I felt her throat spasming as she struggled to swallow everything. Breathing through her nose. Releasing her head, letting her up. A last wave of weariness washing over me. I struggled to keep awake as I felt her reaching to the night stand. Sensing her gathering something up. Adrenaline. My eyes snapped open, sure I was going to see a kitchen knife in her hands. Almost calling up my reserves of strength, ready to freeze her. I relaxed. Two pairs of handcuffs in her long fingers. God, I was tired. "You don't have to tie me up, you know." But I could see it in her face. She knew that she wasn't going to be allowed freedom this night. My eyes closing again. I just sighed. I guess she took the sigh to mean that she was going to be bound with the rest of the girls tonight. When I opened my eyes again, she had handcuffed her own slender ankles together. I made an effort worthy of Goliath and raised into a sitting position. I touched her bare shoulder as she was struggling to move off the bed to the floor. She stopped. I swung her bare legs back up onto the bed, taking the second pair of handcuffs from her fingers. I snapped them around the bar of the bed foot bar and to the chain binding her ankles, effectively holding her on the bed. Damned if I was going to have a repeat of yesterday. Christi wasn't going anywhere tonight. I then collapsed back onto the bed. My eyes closing for the last time. I felt her hands gently stroking my hair as I fell asleep. My last thought before dreamland was that I hoped that she didn't have enough strength to strangle me. "Good night, Master," she softly said before lying down beside me. Her ankles quietly jangling the chains holding them.
