Chapter 22

I woke up relatively late on Sunday. I noticed Nicole was gone when I looked at her side of the bed.

The first thing I did, was go to the bathroom to relieve myself and then take a nice hot shower. By the time I was ready to go downstairs, it was about a quarter before noon.

I walked in on Claudia and Linda talking to each other on the living room’s sofa. Claudia looked up at me and said, giggling, “There you are ... sleeping beauty! We thought you were going to sleep the whole day away!”

I smiled at her and answered, “Sorry, I must have been drained from everything we did yesterday. Where are the others?”

“The boys are downstairs working on the video they took from you yesterday, and Nicole is checking out the forest. It has been raining for the better part of the night, and she wanted to check if we could gather the chains today in your special attire,” Claudia answered with a naughty smile.

I also sat on a sofa and asked, “So, I’m going to retrieve all those chains while chained like yesterday?”

Both girls looked at each other, smiled, and then Claudia said, “Yes, but with a twist.”

“Huh? How do you mean?”

“Let’s just say Nicole has added something that could be funny to see.”

“Um ... What has she in store for me?” I wanted to know.

“That’s a surprise,” Claudia answered. It was apparent both girls liked whatever Nicole had come up with.

“Come on, please tell me,” I begged.

“Nope, you will have to wait.”

I crossed my arms and looked at them with my best grumpy face.

Claudia stopped smiling and said, “Remember, we are all your masters and mistresses! So, don’t act like that, or we will make you do even more outrageous things!”

I sighed and said, “Yes, Ma’am.” It made Claudia smile again. “So, when are we going to collect the chains?”

“Depending on Nicole, we thought we would start around two o’clock,” Claudia answered.

“Isn’t that going to be a bit early? With all the people that could be visiting the center today.”

Claudia shrugged and said, “Nicole has already called the rangers to inform them we probably would be collecting the chains in the afternoon and that you would be doing it naked again.”

“Hmm, I see. And those guys were okay with this?”

“Well, they asked us if we could do it after seven o’clock because most people should have returned home by then.”

“So, why don’t we do it then?” I asked.

“Because we want some extra footage. For this, we need enough light, of course. But we also want to see you interact with the people you will meet during your walk. It will be dark outside before we return if we start around seven o’clock.”

Well, that’s true, of course. If we started around seven o’clock, we would only have about a good hour of sunlight left. We would go through the forest in the dark, which would be even more dangerous. So, I let it rest and asked, “Who is going with me?”

“John and Linda are going to film you, and I will be going with you as your mistress,” Claudia answered and smiled mischievously at me.

“You’re going with me as my mistress?” I asked, surprised.

“Yeah, we already talked about what we will do today. So, we made a little story for when we run into people and if they would ask us questions about what we are doing or why you are naked and stuff like that.”

“Hmm, okay,” I let out, surprised. “So, what story did you come up with?”

“That’s also a surprise for you,” Claudia said, and her mischievous smile worsened.

“But I need to know it as well,” I countered. “What if those people ask me questions?”

“Don’t worry about that,” Claudia said. “We have thought about that as well.”

“Huh!?” I let out while giving her an inquiry look.

“You will understand it when we get you ready,” Claudia said.

I sighed and said, “Okay, Ma’am!”

“That’s a good slave,” Claudia said. She stood and said, “Come, let us prepare some sandwiches for us all.”

We all stood up and walked into the kitchen to prepare our meal.

While we were preparing the sandwiches, Nicole walked in.

“Hi, sexy,” Nicole said in my direction, which surprised me a little.

“Hi,” I responded with my loveliest smile.

“And, are we going through with it?” Claudia asked Nicole.

“The trails are rather muddy again, but I think it is doable,” Nicole answered.

“Isn’t it too cold?” I wanted to know.

“No, it’s warmer than yesterday in the forest,” Nicole lifted her arm and showed us that the pit of her t-shirt was a little wet from sweating. “Because it is so humid inside the forest today, I quickly started sweating while walking.”

“I can see,” Claudia said with a smile. “I better put on a white t-shirt then and enough deodorant.”

“At least our naked nymph won’t have that problem,” Linda said jokingly.

Nicole joined us at the kitchen table and also started preparing sandwiches. It didn’t take long, or we had more than plenty.

Linda went to get the boys while we moved the sandwiches to the dining table. Claudia took some soda cans and a 1.5-liter water bottle.

When we were all sitting at the table, Claudia gave me the water bottle and said, “We want you to drink this. All of it.”

“I’m not that thirsty,” I complained.

“That was an order, slave,” Claudia said sternly.

“Yes, Ma’am,” I responded.

While we ate our sandwiches, I also started on the water bottle. Nicole asked the boys, “So, how is the video processing?”

“Great,” Patrick said. We have a lot of good footage, and with all the angels we have, the video is starting to get great.

“Do you think we can send it in this evening?” Nicole asked.

“I think we have maybe another two or three hours to work on it, and then it should be ready.”

“And the other thing I asked about?” Nicole asked John.

“It’s ready,” John answered. “I’m only waiting for the video; then it is a go.”

“Good work, guys,” Nicole said.

Again, they left me wondering what that other thing could be. I only noticed that Nicole seemed to be happy about it.

After we were done eating, the boys went back downstairs while we cleared the table. Afterward, we girls sat in the living room again while Nicole went downstairs because she had some paperwork to do, which she had forgotten to do yesterday.

Claudia kept pushing me to empty the water bottle she had given me. Which I eventually managed to do. It was strange, but at the same time, maybe not such a bad idea. I probably would be sweating if it was hot and humid in the forest today.

A half hour before we would go out to collect the chains, Claudia gave me herbal tea.

“It shall give you a health boost,” Claudia said.

Again, I found it strange, but I knew they had no ill intent toward me, so I was sure it would be okay. The tea tasted sweet, and I could also taste the herbs, but I didn’t know which herbs they had used. Fifteen minutes later, I noticed it gave me a nice warm feeling.

“We are going to get you ready now,” Claudia told me.

I noticed they had retrieved my black collar and cuffs, although they had removed the long chain between my collar and the chain between my ankles cuffs.

I just stood there and let the two girls attach everything to me. After they were done, my hands were still free.

“Where is the long chain,” I asked them.

“We won’t be using it today,” Claudia said. “We have something else in mind. Could you try walking?” she asked me.

“Okay,” I responded, surprised.

When I took my first step, I immediately noticed something different. It seemed the chain between my ankles had been shortened. It was now three-fifths of what it had been.

I looked at Claudia, and she answered my unasked question, “Just to make sure you can’t walk too fast today. We are going on a slow and easy stroll.”

“Well, this will add at least thirty minutes to our walk,” I said.

“That’s why we start at two o’clock and not much later,” I heard Nicole say when she entered the living room. I noticed she had a box in her hands.

“Are those the extra things?” Linda asked and tried to look in the box Nicole was carrying.

I was also curious, and when Nicole set the box down on the table, I saw it had three things in it. A black ball gag, something resembling a black pear, and a metal ring. I looked at Nicole, and she quickly said, “It’s something extra that I want to test with you. Just to see if you would do it or not.”
