Chapter 6: The Warm Up Event

This time it was a group of only four women who followed Charlotte down the hallway between their guards. Again they all wore the chador, but Charlotte had been most specific about the costumes under the concealing wraps. Beth and Kristin were in lingerie. Beth had been helped into a green waist cincher. Her already trim waistline was compressed even further. Garter stockings and heels in matching colors completed the outfit. The green served to accentuate her flame red hair. Kristin had been dressed in all red garter belt, stockings and heels. Both girls were painfully aware of how their newly shaven genitals were prominently displayed by their outfits. Charlotte had been insistent that their makeup must be perfect. Lucinda had been pressed into duty to help Beth, who had seldom worn makeup before. Beth's makeup had to be done a second time, as she had spoiled the first job when she burst into tears, begging to spared from the ordeal to come. Kristin had managed to control her own tears but she was clearly frightened. As the group made ready to leave, Dana had jokingly suggested the two younger women's outfits made them look like a Christmas present for Hugh Hefner, but no one laughed.

Charlotte had "let slip" to Dana and Patty that they would be "assisting" in a "welcoming" ceremony. They were to dress in their leather outfits. These were made of linked, large, flat leather rings which served to only partially conceal some of their skin. Their breasts were supported, but mostly bare. The rings provided some cover for their torso and legs but left their pubic area and buttocks exposed. Black, high heeled ankle boots completed the outfits. Everyone but Charlotte wore ankle and wrist cuffs of thick leather with sturdy D-rings.

AS they walked toward their destination, Dana pondered how odd it was that they were to walk through the public areas without showing an inch of skin and yet be so scandalously dressed under their chador. Charlotte had stopped enroute, to pick up with a small suitcase. When the other women asked about it's contents she put them off with: Supplies! Now fergit it!" Beth and Kristin had been certain their guards were leading them back to the auditorium and were somewhat relieved when Charlotte had whispered that a gymnasium was their destination.

When the girls arrived, their guards took up station outside the door and Charlotte led them in. Upon entering, they found the room much smaller than the auditorium. A boxing ring filled the center. The ropes that would normally mark the edges of the ring had been removed. The ring itself was lowered so that all the seats around it looked down to the action therein. On each corner, an aisle led from an exit door to the edge of the ring. Two bondage crosses, a meter apart, occupied the center of the ring. Chains hung from each corner of the X-shapes. Rather than the usual heavy wooden timbers these were made from the same steel Dr. Arkan's impaling mechanism had used. The arms were jointed in several places and the centers were padded. Again, large television screens were available to provide close ups and instant replays of the action in the ring.

The seats were completely filled, with very few exceptions. All the men present were in fatigues, except for a small group seated along either side of one aisle, very close to the ring. They were dressed in robes, as if there were to be a boxing match. Along a third aisle, were what was clearly a medical contingent in whites, several with medical bags. Dr. Arkan had a seat among them.

On one side of the ring the seats had been removed completely, continuing several rows up from ringside. A short C-shaped wall separated an area with a large comfortable sofa from the rest of the seats. The floor in front of the sofa was strewn with pillows. The General, also wearing a robe, walked around his private box, joking with the officers in nearby seats.

When the girls reached the bottom of the aisle, Charlotte told Kristin and Beth they were to help her in attaching Dana and Patty to the crosses. Dana exclaimed: "What the fuck? I thought those two were supposed to be the goddamned entertainment!"

Charlotte fixed her with a hard gaze and whispered: "Shhhh! They are! This is gonna be just like a boxin' card. There's a warm up match, afore the main event, and the two o' y'all are it. Don' try ta fool around here now! Just do as Ah say, or the good doctor over there will have two more ta try out his marvelous toys. Y'all hear me? Alrighty! Now follow me!"

Charlotte led the group of women onto the stage and a round of applause greeted them. Charlotte hissed under her breath to them: "Alright, now take off your chador and, whatever y'all do, don't go tryin' ta cover yerselves with yer hands." Following her own advice she quickly began to undress. With somewhat less dispatch, the other girls followed suit. Under Charlotte's direction Beth and Kristin gathered up the discarded clothing and carried it to an empty space along one edge of the stage.

When they were finished, Charlotte directed them to line up facing the General. She then hissed: "Now, do exactly as Ah do!" She bowed from the waist, placing her hands under her breasts, as if offering them to the General. Somewhat bewildered the girls followed suit and the General led another round of applause.

At a sign from the General they were released to straighten up and Charlotte led Beth and Kristin through the process of securing the two other girls to the bondage racks. While they were busy making last adjustments to the chains holding Dana and Patty in a spread-eagle, Charlotte opened her case.

She removed what looked like a wide length of cloth, six small boxes and two very small boxes. These she placed in a row along one edge of the ring. Closing her case, she directed Beth to stand at the edge of the ring facing Patty. Kristin took up station opposite Dana. Charlotte walked around the two bound girls winding the length of cloth around their midsections as she went. The band extended from just below their breasts to just above their hips. When she was finished, the girl's torsos were totally immobilized.

Opening two of the small boxes, Charlotte removed identical penis gags. Summoning Kristin and Beth, she instructed them to place them on the bound girls. Kristin immediately grasped the concept and Dana was soon staring toward the ceiling trying to breath through her nose and keep the penis shape from gagging her. Beth, the more naive of the two, caused hoots of derision and bursts of laughter when she affixed the gag to Patty's face with the phallus shape pointing toward the audience. The cameras picked up the mistake and all the men in the hall could laugh at her mistake. Charlotte looked into one of the screens to see what was the matter and played to the audience by dramatically rolling her eyes and shaking her head.

Coming to Beth's aid, she directed the unbound girls to their places at the edge of the ring and attempted to correct Beth's work. She removed the gag and presented it, correctly oriented, to Patty's mouth. Patty refused to open her mouth and there followed more laughter as Charlotte tried several times, unsuccessfully to force it past her lips.

Exasperated, Charlotte whispered to her: "Ah am sorry honey, but when they stop laughing we's both in deep shit." She backed away just the slightest amount and took one of Patty's large nipples between thumb and forefinger. Whispering: "Please forgive me.", she used a fingernail to mercilessly squeeze the captured nipple.

Patty opened her mouth in a shriek of pain and the gag was quickly inserted. It took several more moments to quiet Patty and let her find the position that afforded the least discomfort from this new item. Stepping in as if to check the gag again, Charlotte spoke quietly to the two girls: "Ah am really sorry, but Ah gotta do what Ah gotta do. Yer buddy Cheryl, God rest her soul, shoulda made that easy to understan'."

Now returning to the line of boxes at the edge of the ring, she picked up the two smallest boxes and opened them. Inside each was another box which opened like jewelry boxes. Charlotte dramatically walked a circuit around the ring displaying the contents to the crowd. Applause followed her porgies. Coming back to her starting point, she announced in a loud voice, first in Farsi, then in English: "Ah am sorry girls. I clean forgot ta tell y'all somethin'. Y'all must have noticed the jewelry in my nipple and Lucinda's. Y'all shoulda figgered it was gonna happen ta y'all, too. Well..." she paused dramatically, "tonight's the night." Unintelligible grunts from the bound girls and gasps from Beth and Kristin greeted her announcement.

Not waiting for the news to sink in, Charlotte walked to the side of the ring facing the medical group. Bowing to them, she invited them to join her on stage. Four men arose from the group and, in pairs, proceeded to prepare each of the bound women. The first pair swabbed each woman's left breast with a large sponge filled with disinfectant. This process took longer than was necessary for strictly medical reasons. The second pair then quickly injected each disinfected breast with a painkiller and the men retired to their seats.
