The door closed behind them, then silence. It was at least fifteen minutes that I lay there, still in darkness behind my blindfold. I hated wearing it, but I had no choice. I knew that, had I been stupid enough to take it off and see my Master, I might not have ever left that apartment. Better to do what I was told.
Finally, I heard my Master’s voice over the speakers. “Get up and get dressed. Do not try to leave until I tell you to do so.” I responded, as always, “Yes, Master,” got off the bed and walked to the door as the lock clicked open. The lid on the bin was open when I arrived, and all my clothes were inside. I got dressed, then stood there, not daring to sit down.
After about two minutes, his voice was heard again. “There is a box on the counter. It is a gift for your husband. Take it to him, tell him it is from you, and ask him to use it to its maximum potential tonight. You may look to see what it is when you get home.” Again, my only reply, “Yes, Master.”
Looking around, I saw the box. It was about four inches wide and deep, and about two feet long. Brown cardboard, taped closed with packing tape, and unremarkable. I picked it up and found it weighed several pounds and rattled a bit, sounding like wood and metal. Not knowing what else to do, I opened the door and headed to my car.
Arriving home, I had about two hours until Charles returned for the weekend, so I stripped nude as required, then found a knife to open the box. When I dumped the contents out on the kitchen table, in full view of one of the spy cameras, it took me several seconds to figure out what I had before me. Two curved pieces of wood, about eighteen inches long, four to six inches wide, and an inch thick, plus an adjustable leather strap about two inches wide and two feet long, and several long metal bolts. The wood had holes in it at regular intervals on one side of each, and a hole in the outside of the curve of one of them. I looked into the box, hoping to find something else and spied a piece of paper at the bottom, so I reached down and pulled it out. |
