The Circle. Part 11 Penny was having an erotic dream. She dreamt that she was restrained to a bed and that the members of the Circle were torturing her with their lips and tongues. They kept bringing her to orgasm until she finally passed out. When she awoke the next morning, three naked women knelt beside the bed. Cheryl, Luann and Nancy, whose wrists were still bound behind her, awaited their mistress's orders. Penny got out of bed in all her naked glory and greeted each woman with passionate kiss. Then she let out a laugh. She had tasted herself on each woman's lips. "You could be punished for that," she said smiling. "But I must admit it was enjoyable. Who's idea was it?" Cheryl blushed as she said, "It was mine Mistress." "Remind me to punish you later," Penny said with a grin. "Yes Mistress," Cheryl answered with a smile. "Let's get to it. Shower, breakfast and on with the day," Penny ordered as she walked into the bathroom. Luann began straightening the room while Cheryl led Nancy out the door. Later that day Penny went looking for Kathleen. Nancy was at her Medical practice, Luann was writing in her office and Cheryl waited for Penny in the playroom. She found Kathleen in the library. "Kathleen, I need some guidance. How do I handle six women? I don't have the knowledge or experience to do it. "Penny darling, you are the most naturally intuitive mistress I have ever seen. As for the knowledge, look around you. This library has some fine books on domination and submission, read them. As to experience, set up a place and practice, practice until you're confident in your abilities. There's a room that should be big enough in the basement. You can use it. If you have any doubts then go with your instinct." `Thank you Kathleen, I'll do that," Penny said. She went up to the playroom where Cheryl waited. Cheryl knelt naked in the middle of the room. When Penny walked into the playroom she went straight for the equipment wall. She took several coils of rope from the wall. Turning to Cheryl she said, "Up." Then she pointed to a chair and said, "Sit." Cheryl walked over to the chair and then sat down. Penny tied her hands behind the back of the chair and then tied the rope to the chair itself. Next she took another piece of rope and then tied Cheryl's chest to the back of the chair carefully crossing the rope over and under Cheryl's breasts. Penny took, still another rope and secured Cheryl's waist to both the back and seat of the chair. Then she lifted Cheryl's left leg positioning it so that the heel of the foot rested on the seat and then she tied the left ankle to the left upper thigh, repeating the process with the right ankle and thigh. After Cheryl's legs were secure, Penny tied down her feet to the front legs of the chair. Lastly Penny tied one end of a short rope to Cheryl's left leg. Then she ran the rope around the back of the chair to Cheryl's right leg and tied it off. This rope held her legs spread. To finish off the overall look she picked up an elastic bandage. Ordering Cheryl to open her mouth, Penny held one end of it then ran it between Cheryl's lips several times before she ran it over her mouth several more times and tied it off. She stepped back several feet to enjoy the scene as Cheryl tested the bondage. She moved close enough to fondle Cheryl's fully exposed pussy. After several minutes Penny stopped. She went to a chest over by the equipment wall, opened it and took out two long black and white feathers. She grabbed a chair, positioned it in front of the bound girl and then holding the feathers by the shaft, she began to slide them gently over Cheryl's exposed flesh. Penny kept moving the feathers until Cheryl neared orgasm. When she stopped again, Cheryl let out a frustrated moan. "I'll send someone up here to untie you in time for dinner," She said as she walked to the door. "I have some research to do. Love you. Bye." Penny met Theresa near the library. "In about an hour go into the playroom and check on Cheryl. You may play with her but don't mark her. Understand? "Yes Mistress, Theresa answered. The next day Penny and Luann went shopping. Penny bought 4 dressmaker's dummies, 1000 feet of soft nylon rope, a video recorder with monitor, several stout wooden chairs that would be delivered the next day and two matching whips from Madam Marie's shop. Then they both went down into the basement to clear out the room Penny would use for practice. Penny installed a new lock on the door and ordered an intercom system to be installed in the room. No one, not even Kathleen, would know what went on in the room until Penny was ready to tell them. One day Kathleen did ask. Penny answered, "Trust me. When I'm ready I'll let you know." The formal induction meeting of the Circle was held a month later. All the members attended plus two guests, Linda Casey and Carol Anders. It started with an elegant 5-course catered dinner from an exclusive woman's club in Boston. The appropriate wines were served with each course. The conversations were varied; only one subject was off limits, what was to come later that evening. Kathleen started off by asking Linda was had happened to Doris, Matron, Peggy/Nicole O'Brien and their assistants. Linda said that the government could not prosecute any of them because the `interview' with Brian Slater would be considered tainted and that anything learned from it would also be inadmissible in court. But the government wanted them punished, so they sold them to the various brothels they that had been doing business with. The assistants went to different brothels in India, Matron, whose real name was Gisele Huffman, was sold to a brothel in a friendly Arab country, one that would make sure she paid for her crime and Peggy/Nicole had been given to a Japanese brothel run by the Yakuza along with $100,000 a year to make sure that she could not escape and that her life would be as miserable as possible. As for Doris, that was a different story. The same day Kathleen had been kidnapped, Doris had boarded a plane to London and disappeared. She last time anyone had seen her was when she got into a taxicab at the airport. Then Kathleen asked about the rubber whip that she had used on Matron. Carol reached into her bag, pulled out a catalogue and gave it to Kathleen. Kathleen thumbed through it and found that she already owned several whips from the collection but she, also, spotted several that she wanted to order. She noticed a section in the catalogue on custom whips. One of the whips featured glass beaded handles. Kathleen exclaimed that Penny already had two. Carol asked Penny if she could see them. "Later," Penny had answered in a steely voice. Carol blushed and dropped her eyes. Meanwhile Nancy was regaling the others with tales from the gynecological world. She told a tale of an obese woman who managed to get a small soda bottle suck in her vagina and of a devotedly catholic woman who could not seen to get pregnant. When she was examined she was found to still be a virgin. The woman claimed that it was impossible because she and her husband had sex at least three times a week. Nancy asked the woman to show her the position she used. When the woman lifted her legs Nancy knew the woman was having anal sex. She explained to the woman who blushed beet red. Two months later the woman was pregnant. This led the conversation to their first time sexual experiences with women. Theresa told of a teacher who seduced her in the school shower. Tanya said that her mother taught her about sex with women by showing her one night when she was in her teens. Valerie said hers was with Kathleen when she came to live with her. Penny said hers was with Cheryl the previous year. Kathleen admitted that hers was also the first time in bondage. Her late husband Charles had been a hedonist. One night while making love he had bound her to their bed and then brought in a black woman. The woman licked her to several orgasms then made her reciprocate. Kathleen confided to the other women at the table that the incident was the start of her bi-sexuality. But it was Linda who had the best story. She told them about always being a tomboy and that she could never get a date because guys just don't date their friends. On the rare occasion that she did get a date she really did not enjoy the kissing the boys. One day she was in a bookstore and noticed two women fervently kissing. Suddenly she found herself wet. She decided to try meeting another girl. She saw this gorgeous girl in school. She managed to meet her, she invited her home and when they got inside the door Linda had kissed her. She felt the sparks fly. They had gone down to the basement to make out then they started to make love. Later when they were both naked licking each other's pussy, Linda's mother had walked into the room and said, "It's about time." They were so startled that neither moved, other than to lift their heads. Linda's mother had picked up something off one of the shelves and then left the room saying, "Have fun girls." When the women at the table stopped laughing, Cheryl asked Linda, if she had been embarrassed. Before Linda could answer, Carol answered that she had never been so embarrassed before or since. The table exploded in laughter again. That was when Carol realized what she said. She turned lovely shade of red. But it was Luann who turned the mood serious again. She said that the first time she wanted to make love to a woman was when Mistress Penny had spread her legs. Penny got up from her seat, went over to Luann and kissed her passionately. With that Kathleen said, "It's time to prepare ladies." One hour later the women met in the playroom minus Luann and Nancy who waited in a side room. The chairs and sofas had been arranged in a semi-circle at one end of the room. There were two small tables between the sofas and chairs. Kathleen took her place in the center throne-chair. Penny and Cheryl sat on either side. Theresa and Tanya sat on one sofa and Linda and Carol sat on the other. Valerie knelt at she sister's leg. The women were dressed in different clothes, as different as their personalities. Kathleen wore an emerald green gown. The front of the gown was cut in such a way that it came under Kathleen's breasts leaving them exposed. The gown, also, had a slit up the front to just below the juncture of her thighs. Green thigh high stocking and high-heeled shoes completed her outfit. Penny wore a black lace bustier, a short leather skirt that came down about 6-inches below her delta, black 5-inch spiked high-heels, a spiked choker, 2-studded wristbands and a small leather stud belt. It was the same outfit she wore when she met Luann the first time. Cheryl, who usually hated wearing dresses, was wearing a black off the shoulder sheath dress. It had a slit up her left side showing off the black thigh-high stockings and matching high-heels. Tanya wore a black silk brocaded Suzy-Wong style dress with silts up both legs and high-heel shoes. Theresa wore a harem outfit made up of an embroidered vest tied at the center and harem pants of some gauzy material that was tight at the waist and the ankle but loose in between. It was clear that she did not wear anything underneath. Valerie wore a chain-link bra and matching skirt. She had on black opera length gloves, thigh-high stockings and high-heeled shoes with small locks at each ankle. She, also, had nothing on underneath. Linda wore a black men's tuxedo with a blue vest and matching bow tie. Carol wore a authentic parochial school uniform blazer with a school emblem on the pocket, white blouse, plaid skirt rolled up at the waist, white knee-high socks and penny-loafer shoes. When everyone was seated Kathleen nodded to Valerie. Valerie arose and left the room only to return leading Luann and Nancy. Each was encased in a neck to floor length white cape. They were led to a position opposite Kathleen. When Valerie removed their capes several women gasped. Both Luann and Nancy, their bodies naked and oiled, wore chains. Each had on wrist and ankle cuffs. A chain had been locked at the left ankle, run up through the left wrist cuff then up to the a D-ring on the metal collar and then down through the right wrist cuff to the right ankle cuff where it was locked off. Between the wrists was a locked 6-inch length of chain and each had a 12-inch chain locked at the ankles. Each stood with eyes downcast. Kathleen opened the festivities by saying " The Circle expands. Tonight we admit two new members who, I trust, will live up to our standards." She went on to explain the purpose of the Circle, which she said, was to enjoy Dominance and Submission in a safe, sane and loving environment. Each mistress would always take care of the needs of her submissive and to always temper the pain with pleasure. It is the responsibility of the mistress to never to abuse any submissive in the Circle and to look after the submissives health and welfare. Each submissives role in the outside world was to be respected and arrangements made to include it. She reminded Luann and Nancy as well as the other submissives that they held the ultimate power, the power to walk away, from a scene or a relationship. If the submissive wanted, she was free to choose a `safe word' to be used for her protection. Each mistress is duty bound to respect the submissives `safe word.' She when on to explain the order of presidents. Each woman in the Circle had a rank within the group. Kathleen, then, named herself, Penny, Tanya, Cheryl, Theresa and Valerie in order of rank. As newcomers they must submit whole-heartedly, body and soul, to all the senior members, and to be open to them at all times. When or if new members were inducted both Luann and Nancy would be allowed to dominate them if either desired it. "Are you willing to abide by the rules I have outlined?" Kathleen asked. Both Luann and Nancy answered, "Yes Mistress." Valerie rose and retrieved a small circular table. On it were a number of items. In the center was an antique gold goblet engraved with the image of Diana, the Huntress. Valerie poured red wine into the goblet and then handed it to Kathleen. "This wine represents our sisterhood. Each of us will drink until the goblet is empty starting with the youngest member." Kathleen handed the goblet to Penny who took it and then took a sip. She handed to off to Carol with did the same thing. When it came to Luann, she slid her wrist up the chains in order to be able to hold the cup. After she had taken a sip, she passed it to Nancy. Around the circle it went until Cheryl finished it and then turned the goblet upside down. Valerie and Theresa brought forward an antique velvet covered piano bench. "Now you will accept a symbolic caning to show your willingness to endure your submission," Kathleen said. Then she took a fresh birch switch, cut just that morning, and gave it to Valerie. From the table Theresa took the key to Luann's chains. When the chains were removed, Luann knelt over the bench with her legs on one side and her arms on the other. When Nancy's chains were removed she took her position next to Luann. Theresa moved back and Valerie moved forward. She took up her position behind and slightly to the left of Luann, held the switch out and then lifted it up. As the switch came down Luann's eyes locked with Penny's. Luann made no sound as the birch switch landed on her rear but a slight smile played on her lips as she stared at Penny. Six times the switch rose and fell. Luann neither moved nor made any sound. When Valerie finished she handed the switch to Theresa and returned to her kneeling position in front of Kathleen. Theresa moved behind Nancy. Six times the switch fell again. Nancy gasped at the first stroke but made no other sound although her body quivered slightly with each on the remaining strokes. With the caning completed both Luann and Nancy stood up. The bench was moved to the side for later use. Penny rose from her seat, took a small metal tag from the table and then affixed it to the D-ring on Luann's collar. It read, `I belong to Penny.' Luann immediately knelt down and kissed Penny's foot. Penny pulled Luann back up and then kissed her softly on the lips. At this point Cheryl stood up, removed her dress leaving her naked save for stockings and heels. Penny took a leather collar; the tag attached and placed it around Cheryl's neck. Cheryl bent down and kissed Penny's foot. Penny, then, pulled her up and kissed her. Her tag read, `I belong to Penelope.' Cheryl put her dress back on. Then Cheryl took still another tag from the table. She turned to Nancy. Cheryl affixed the tag to Nancy's collar. Nancy knelt down to kiss Cheryl's foot. Cheryl pulled her up and she, too, received a kiss. Hers read, ` I belong to Cheryl.' Penny spoke, "You are now full members of the Circle." She kissed first Nancy and then Luann. Then Penny pushed the two women together. They needed no encouragement. They kissed, their tongues dancing in their mouths, their hands roaming each other's bodies. Voices urged them to make love. Comments were made about them, becoming more and more ribald with time. They were lost in their own passion. Luann took the lead bending down to kiss and caress Nancy's breasts and nipples while Nancy moaned softly. She sent several minutes sucking on the nipples while her hand moved between Nancy's legs. Then she pulled Nancy down to the floor. Nancy began to kiss Luann's neck while her hand went between Luann's legs to stroke her pussy. Luann moved to kiss Nancy on the lips once more before reversing position. She kissed and licked her way down Nancy's belly, through her pubic hair and into her pussy. Nancy pulled Luann's hips over her head so she could return the favor. She stuck out her tongue and licked Luann's pussy from top to bottom before diving it into Luann's slit. As they squirmed on the floor, Carol kissed Linda then got up and walked over to Kathleen. "I've been bad, Miss Kathleen," she said in a high-pitched child-like voice. Kathleen, falling right into the game asked, "And what have you done this time, child?" "I let a boy touch my cummy and then put this thing in me," she answered in the same high-pitched voice. "Bad girl. You should be punished," Kathleen said. "My daddy wants you to punish me," she said "Get over my knee, child. I'm going to give you a good spanking. Carol laid herself across Kathleen's knees. Kathleen raised Carol's skirt above her waist to expose the frilly white panties she wore. "Does your daddy spank you, child," Kathleen asked. "Yes Ma'am," Carol answered. How many does he give you, child? "Twenty Ma'am...hard," Carol answered again. "Then I'll give you thirty because what you did was very naughty," Kathleen said. As Kathleen began to pull down Carol's panties, Carol begged," Please Ma'am, not on my bare behind." Kathleen swatted her once on her bottom and said, "Hush child. You'll take your punishment the way I give it to you." Kathleen, then, pulled the back of the panties down below the curve of Carol's buttocks. On the right butt cheek was a tattoo. Inscribed in script was the name Linda. Kathleen made the tattoo her point of aim for that cheek. At first she alternated swatting Carol's bottom cheeks, first the right and them the left. She did not get to number nine before Carol had an orgasm. Theresa crawled over the where Linda was sitting watching Carol with Kathleen. She reached up to Linda's crotch to stroke the strap-on dildo that Linda had on underneath her tuxedo. Linda looked down and then nodded to Theresa. Theresa opened the zipper and then pulled out the strap-on. She sucked it into her mouth. Linda went back to watching Carol and Kathleen. Tanya lifted Valerie off the floor where she was sitting watching her older sister give Carol a spanking. She stripped off Valerie's chain-link bra and skirt. She led Valerie over to the spanking bench where she tied Valerie length-wise across it, tying her ankles to one end and her wrists to the other end. Tanya added a waist strap for good measure. As Valerie tested her bondage Tanya picked up a short leather whip off the equipment wall. Keeping one hand between Valerie's open legs, she whipped her back. Cheryl came over to Penny and sat on her lap. Cheryl kissed Penny's ear and then gently nibbled her neck. Penny's hands roamed Cheryl's body finally coming to rest between her legs. They watched Luann and Nancy arrive at their climaxes. Penny noticed Carol standing next to her. "I need to be punished Ma'am," she said in her little girl voice. "Go over there and take off all your clothes," Penny ordered pointing to an X-shaped St. Andrews cross. "Stand facing the cross with your hands behind your head. I'll be with you shortly." Cheryl got up from Penny's lap. She walked over to Theresa, who was now on her hands and knees with Linda pumping the strap-on dildo in and out of her slit. Cheryl took off her dress and lay down in front of Theresa. She pulled Theresa's head between her legs. Luann rolled away from Nancy and then turned to look at Penny, her face wet with Nancy's juices. Penny slowly opened her legs exposing her naked pussy. She did not have to say anything for Luann knew exactly what to do. She crawled over to Penny and buried her face in Penny's wide-open moistness. Penny grabbed the back of Luann's head with both hands. The submissive woman pleasured her mistress. Kathleen rose from her chair. She walked over to Nancy who was laying face up with her eyes closed at she came down from her orgasm. When she opened them, Kathleen was standing over her. She watched Kathleen as she bared her magnificent body. Kathleen then stood over Nancy. She lowered herself down to ride Nancy's face. Just to spur Nancy on she lightly pinched she nipples. Nancy sucked Kathleen's clit into her mouth. The scenes now overlapped and intermingled. Mistresses switched submissives on the fly. Tanya switched with Linda who pulled the strap-on out of Theresa and shoved it into Valerie. Theresa now received the whipping as she went down on Cheryl. Penny pushed Luann's head away from her throbbing pussy. She was not ready to cum yet. She bent down and kissed Luann tasting Nancy and herself on Luann's lips. Penny hooked a finger into the D-ring on Luann's collar and then pulled her up as she stood up. They both walked over to Carol who stood naked and waiting by the cross. After kissing Luann again Penny made her kneel off to the side. Penny, then, reached around Carol's body and fondled her breasts. Carol quivered in anticipation. "You wanted to see my whips Carol. Well I'm going to show them to you. My way," Penny whispered in Carol's ear. Penny turned to Luann and ordered, "Get the cedar box." Luann scurried away. Penny turned her attention back to Carol. "Up against the cross," She ordered. Carol shivered visibly as she moved forward to obey. She placed her hands on the upper arms of the cross and spread her legs to the lower ones. Penny, then, proceeded to bind Carol to the cross. Using the leather straps, she bound Carol's wrists, elbows, waist, knees and ankles. When she finished she noticed a few drops of liquid where Carol had been standing. "Dripping with anticipation, are we...slut? Penny taunted. Carol groaned as she answered, "Yes Mistress." The little girl voice was gone replaced by one filled with longing. Then Penny picked up Carol's soaking wet panties and one of her socks. She stuffed the panties into Carol's mouth and used the sock to hold it there. She took a 2-foot piece of crimson ribbon and put it into Carol's hand. Because Penny had never seen Carol play she took the precaution of giving Carol a safety net. Luann returned with the box and after receiving another kiss, knelt off to the side awaiting her mistress's further orders. Penny took the whips out of their case. She swung them through the air. With a gentle motion she draped them both over Carol's shoulders. Carol's body shook as she came. Penny pulled them slowly back until they came off Carol's shoulders. She put the black whip down. Then she started to administer a sensual whipping to Carol. Slowly at first then picking up speed, she whipped Carol from her neck to the back of her knees. She splayed the tresses of the whip over Carol's back with one throw and then made them land together as one on the buttocks with the next. Over and over she used the whip on Carol's back and butt. Carol shook and moaned with each hit on her body. On the floor between her legs the few drops became a small puddle. Penny stopped long enough to rub her hands up and down Carol's back and buttocks, until she came again. At this point the gag was not for stifling sound but to prevent Carol from biting her tongue. Now she picked up her second whip. Penny did not notice that all the women in the playroom were now watching her scene especially Linda and Kathleen. With her wrists in the whip's wrist straps Penny began to use both whips on Carol. She played those whips with the skill of a concert pianist. She used both forehand and backhand strokes. She backhanded the whips on Carol's shoulders then swung them around to forehand her bottom cheeks. She knelt down to windmill the whips over Carol's butt. As Penny rose, the wind milling whips moved up Carol's body. She made the whips hit Carol together and then separately, both high and low over her body. The whips became blurs of motion. Carol was lost in a sea of sensations yet she did not drop the ribbon. The puddle between her legs became a pool. Penny only stopped because the ribbon fell from Carol's hand when she had a massive orgasm. So massive that she passed out and slumped against the straps holding her. "Luann, water and a towel...now," Penny ordered as she turned around. She noticed several things, that all the women were coming toward Carol and her, that she was the only one in the playroom that still had clothes on, that Kathleen had a huge grin on her face and that she was suddenly very tired. Kathleen, Cheryl, and Linda, after checking on Carol, moved around her while Valerie, Tanya, Theresa and Nancy moved to take Carol down from the cross and lay her on the floor. Kathleen took Penny's hand and led her to the throne-chair. Then Kathleen, and Linda stood on either side while Cheryl knelt at Penny's feet. Luann brought two bottles of water and a towel. Penny took one and drank the whole bottle then wiped her face and arms with the towel. Luann wiped her back then knelt next to Cheryl. Linda kissed Penny on the cheek and said in an awed voice, "That's the first time Carol had done that during a scene. I should know, I've lived with her for more than 15 years." Linda took the other bottle of water from Luann and went over to Carol who was just coming around. She helped Carol to drink the water then whispered something in her ear. Carol nodded, kissed Linda and then dragged herself over to Penny. When she got to Penny, Carol kissed her foot and said, "Thank you for punishing me, Mistress." She emphasized the word Mistress. Penny nodded. For the first time in her life, she understood the power, the absolute power that she, as a mistress, had. Kathleen saw the realization dawn in Penny's eyes. She had felt the same thing years before. "Impressive, most impressive," Kathleen commented. " For a 16-year old girl with very little experience, that whip work was some of the finest I've ever seen." That was high praise from Kathleen. "Luann, Cheryl, attend Mistress Penelope," She ordered Penny barely heard what Kathleen said. She stood up. Cheryl and Luann rose with her. Penny started walking toward the door of the playroom. Just before she got there, she turned to Kathleen and with a fierce determination in her eyes and said simply, "I'm ready." Then she walked out the door followed by Cheryl and Luann. Kathleen nodded and said," Yes, you are Mistress Penelope, yes, you are." Then Kathleen wondered what other surprises Mistress Penelope had in store for the members of the Circle.
