The Circle.
Part 4


Two week had past since Penny Dalton and Cheryl Starret had moved into Kathleen
Monahan's home. Now all the members of the Circle, of which Kathleen was
Mistress, lived under the same roof. It had also been two week since Penny took
responsibility, as a mistress, for Luann Boyce. Luann was the only black member
of the group, but she was not yet a member of the Circle for only Penny would
decide when or if she would be initiated.

Penny and Cheryl were naked in bed when Luann entered rolling in a service cart
with their breakfasts on it. Luann made quite a sight, for all she was wearing
was a 2 inch wide black leather collar on her neck, ankle cuffs with 2 feet of
chain in between, and steel handcuffs separated by 12 inches of chain. There was
also 3 1/2 feet of chain connecting the two sets of cuffs. "Your breakfast
Mistress," she said then knelt down to await further instructions.

It had been two weeks since Luann arrived at Kathleen's house. In those weeks
that she had been under Penny's care, she had always been kept naked and bound
in some fashion. Whether it was steel chain or nylon rope, Luann always wore
something. It had been a full week before Penny took off the blindfold off. In
the two weeks Luann had been whipped three times, spanked twice, and had been
kept in strict bondage for part of each day. She had sexually serviced Penny at
least once each day and Cheryl approximately half as much. Penny was not so
cruel as to deny Luann her own pleasure, so she would let Luann masturbate or
she would masturbate Luann every few days.

Both girls got out of bed with Cheryl going to the cart to look over the food
while Penny went to the bathroom to shower. When she returned she was wearing a
towel, then Cheryl went to take her own shower. Penny began to eat just as
Kathleen came into the room. "Where's Cheryl?" she asked. "In the shower," came
the reply. "How is Luann's training coming, Penny?" Penny listed the things she
had done to Luann and what she had in mind for the future.

Kathleen waited until Cheryl had finished in the bathroom and began to eat her
breakfast. Kathleen said to Cheryl "I have to go into Boston on business. My
late husband's lawyer wants me to sign some papers. I want you to run the house
until I get back. I should be back in a day or two. I want to do some shopping
while I'm here."

Cheryl asked, "Why don't take one of the girls with you?"

"That's not a bad idea, Cheryl. I'll stop at Marie's and buy some new equipment
or maybe order several new pieces. I'll take Tanya and Theresa Valerie can stay
here. She hasn't had a session in several weeks, you may as well take care of
it." Kathleen turned toward the door and said "I'll send Valerie to you in a
little while, so get dressed."

"Yes Kathleen," Cheryl answered, and then she turned to Penny and remarked
quietly, "She can be such a bear in the morning."

When Valerie knocked on the door a half hour later Cheryl and Penny were dressed
and ready. They had made Luann stand with her back against a large post that
stood in the corner of their room. They bound her ankles, knees, waist, arms,
wrists, and then ran a rope crisscross around her breasts. All Luann could do
was stand and wait.

Cheryl took Valerie to the playroom while Penny went to the attic to get some
equipment to use. Cheryl had bound Valerie's wrists together in front of her
body then attached the rope ends to an overhead pulley that she lowered into
position. She, then, raised it until Valerie's heels were just about to go off
the ground. Penny entered the room carrying several items that both girls would
use on Valerie. Cheryl selected a red leather whip with 18-inch long tresses
while Penny took a short black nylon whip with a dozen loops for tresses.

Cheryl moved behind Valerie and took a tentative swing, just to check the
distance. Seeing she was right on target, she began to hit Valerie with a slow
and methodical stroke, the target being Valerie's soft, round, rear end. Penny
stood near by watching as Cheryl continued the whipping. She was waiting until
Cheryl either got tired or signaled her to join in. Cheryl, finally stopped,
looked at Penny and said, "Your turn, darling."

Since Penny could see that Valerie's ass was already turning a light shade of
pink she began to whip the hanging girl's breasts. By swinging the whip back and
forth she could strike the outside of Valerie's breasts. When they were the same
shade of pink as Valerie's ass Penny stopped so that Cheryl could resume the
whipping.

Valerie was in a trance like state. She could feel the pain of the whip but was
not aware of anything else. She could not say who was whipping her and who was
not, but the sensations that were generated were building up inside her like
steam in a teapot.

 Meanwhile Kathleen, Tanya, and Theresa entered the law offices of Case and
Andrews. Tanya and Theresa remained in the waiting room as Kathleen was escorted
into John Case's office.

"Hello John, you're looking well."

"Hello Kathleen. Welcome to Boston. It's so good to see you again. I'm sorry to
ask you here, but since you won't give me power of attorney, you must sign these
estate papers."

"I don't mind John. It gives me an excuse to come to Boston and do some shopping
or take in a show."

Kathleen signed each of the papers that she was given. John explained what each
was for and how each increased the value of her late husband Charles' estate.
Then John handed a computer printout to Kathleen, listing all her assets and net
worth. "This can't be right, John?"

"Yes Kathleen, your net worth is just over one hundred million dollars," John
answered, "Over the last seven years the investments that Charles made before
his death have increased tenfold. You don't spend much of it so it just collects
in the bank. You live in a small town, in an old house, with your sister, a
housekeeper, and several student boarders. As your lawyer and financial advisor,
I know you don't spend one-tenth of your income."

"I know John, I just don't need all that much. I'm comfortable with the house I
have. For heaven sake, its got twenty-two rooms and for seven people that's
enough."

"Look Kathleen, I'm due in court in an hour. I want to finish this discussion
over dinner this evening. Where are you staying?"

"I'm here with my friends, I can't leave them alone."

"For as long as I've known you, you do whatever you want to. Now where are you
staying?" John asked again.

Kathleen stared at John for a long moment then said, "We're staying in a suite
at the Ritz."

"I'll pick you at 8 o'clock this evening." John said as he rose from his desk.

As Kathleen stood you she said, "All right John, I'll see you this evening."

Just as Kathleen left the office, Cheryl picked up a black leather whip with
seven 12-inch tresses. Penny took a similar whip except that the color was tan.
They both took up their positions on either side of Valerie and began to whip
the hanging girl. Slowly each dominant circled to the right as they swung their
whip. No spot on Valerie's body was immune from the tresses as they flew through
the air. When Cheryl and Penny had the timing right, Cheryl would hit Valerie,
which would make Valerie move away from the whip and into Penny's swinging whip,
which would illicit the same reaction from Valerie. Both girls worked carefully
for half and hour, by which time Valerie was a light shade of red over most of
her body.

Penny put down the whip and moved in front of Valerie. Cheryl stopped long
enough to, once again, change whips, and then move behind her to continue where
she left off. When Cheryl was ready she nodded to Penny, who moved her left hand
behind Valerie's neck and drew her head forward. Their lips met in a lingering
kiss. Penny's right hand went to one of Valerie's already erect nipples to
caress and pinch it. Cheryl swung this whip time and again. Each time Valerie
moved against Penny, who was stimulating the hanging girl. Valerie was tottering
on the edge of orgasm from what the two dominant girls were doing to her. Penny
could observe Valerie's reactions so that whenever Valerie got close to cumming
she would stop what she was doing. Cheryl, on the hand, did not stop swinging
the whip. Penny reached between Valerie's legs and took hold of her pussy
putting her middle finger on Valerie's clit. When the whip touched flesh,
Valerie jerked forward, rubbing her clit on Penny's finger. They keep this up
for several minutes then stopped to rest leaving Valerie to hang there.

At about the same time they stopped the whipping to rest, Kathleen, Tanya and
Theresa walked into Madam Marie's Leather Shop. They browsed among the fine
leather handbags while the saleswoman took care of a customer. When the customer
left the shop Kathleen greeted the woman. "Hello Lily, is Madam here."

"Yes ma'am, she in the back. If you will be so kind as to wait, I will tell her
your here," Lily said.

Lily walked over to one of the doors at the back of the shop and knocked on in.
She opened it and went inside. Just as quickly she came out followed by Madam
Marie, the owner of the shop.

"Madam Kathleen, welcome, welcome. What brings you to my shop."

"Hello Madam Marie. Since I had to come into town anyway I though I would stop
and see if you had anything new for sale. I need several new toys to play with,
and I want a set of custom restraints made."

"I have some new pieces of equipment that just came in from a whip maker in New
York including two whips I was saving just for you. As for the restraints, do
you have the measurements?"

"No, but you can use Tanya to get them," Kathleen said.

Tanya's face reddened. She looked like she was about to protest but though
better of it.

"If you will follow me into the other room we can get started with the measuring
and I can show you our new items," Madam Marie said as she led the women through
another door into a second showroom. In this room, like a tack room in a stable,
all the equipment hung from the walls or 6 feet high racks. On one wall, hung
nothing but whips, all kinds and all shapes, from ultra soft horsehair to Manila
rope. Another wall had only riding crops and quirts made of the finest leather
or rawhide. On one rack were all different kinds of collars, some had rings
attached and some did not.

Marie led them to a small table and chairs in one corner of the room. She
offered a seat to Kathleen, then turned to Tanya and said, "Be so good as to
remove your clothes." She said it as if it was an order.

Tanya's face turned a deeper red. Her eyes clouded over but she began to open
the zipper on her dress. She pulled the open dress off her shoulders, pushed it
down over her hips and let it slip to the floor. She unhooked the clasp of her
bra and dropped it on top of the dress. She stopped long enough to look
pleadingly as Kathleen for some help, but when she saw that none was forthcoming
she pushed down the panties that she was wearing and stood naked in front of the
other women.

"What kind of restraints are you interested in Madam Kathleen," Madam Marie
asked.

"A full set and body harness," Kathleen answered.

Madam Marie nodded to Lily as she picked up a cloth tape measure. Lily took down
the measurements as Madam Marie called them out. She started with Tanya's neck,
then wrists, arms just above the elbow, chest above the breasts, then below the
breasts, waist, middle of the tights, above the knee, below the knee, ankle. She
measured the circumference of each breast and the distance from Tanya's waist in
front of her body to the back of her body. Ignoring Tanya Madam Marie took the
pad from Lily and did some quick mental arithmetic. She said to Kathleen, "I can
have them done in a week, Madam."

"Good, now for the whips."

As Madam Marie when to the wall and took down several different whips from which
Kathleen could choose, Tanya reached for her clothes. "Not yet," Kathleen said.
Tanya stiffened but stood up. Placing the whips on the table, Kathleen had her
first view of them, none of which she had seen before.

The first looked like it had been braided from a single thong. The handle was
braided for about 6 inches, and then tied in a knot with the 2 ends hanging
another 12 inches. The second had an 8-inch wooden handle wrapped with thin
cord. Its five tresses were made out of rubber and were 24 inches long. And the
third had a 2-inch diameter handle that was 6 inches long. Its tress were made
from unraveled cord and soaked in something to make the tresses softer. There
were about three-dozen of them.

As Kathleen inspected the whips Madam Marie left the room for several minutes.
When she returned, she was carrying a 12-inch long cedar box. Placing the box on
the table she said, "I have in this box what I consider to be the finest whips I
have ever had in my possession. They were made by a friend of the person who
makes most of our whips." She opened the box and took out two exquisite leather
whips. One was all white from end of handle to tip of tress. The handle was
decorated with rainbow and diamonds patterns entirely in tiny glass seed beads.
The tresses were made of pure white deerskin leather and about 22 inches long.
Only the color was different on the other whip, its color being black.

"They're gorgeous, I must have both," Kathleen said. "Of course I will pay
whatever you want. Do you have anything else that's new?"

"Yes, I have a spanking strap," Madam Marie said as she walked of to the board
were it was kept. She brought it to Kathleen who examined it. The handle was 1/4
inch thick. The leather was looped and flattened out, then attached to the upper
end of the handle. It felt heavy and when Kathleen took a tentative swing it
swing heavy.

"I'll take it, the thong whip, the rubber tressed whip and both of those
exquisite leather whips. You can sent them this address," Kathleen said as she
handed her card to Madam Marie.

Madam Marie took the card and looked at the address then looked at Kathleen. "I
would like to ask you a small favor Madam. From time to time my daughters are in
need of discipline. Would you consider handling it for me."

"Of course, my dear. You can send them to me any time they are in need of
discipline," Kathleen said. Then she turned to Tanya and said, " You may get
dressed now and be quick about it. I have a dinner engagement to get ready for."

Tanya had finished dressing and the women were on their way back to the hotel
when Penny and Cheryl returned to Valerie. She had been hanging for more than
half and hour as the girls watched. There was a small puddle of liquid on the
floor and Valerie's upper tights were wet from her own secretions. This time
Cheryl stood in front of Valerie and Penny did the whipping. Penny used a
leather whip with 18-inch tresses. Valerie's body was a dark shade of pink
before Penny started and she with determined the make that shade darken to red.
She swung the whip and hit Valerie's left ass cheek, then her right cheek, then
her upper back, then back to the ass cheeks. Cheryl kissed Valerie and
masturbated her at the same time. Valerie's mind was in a whirl, pleasure in
front and pain in back. The half hour rest had cooled Valerie down but now the
sensations were back with greater intensity than before. The minutes dragged on
with Valerie getting closer to the edge with each passing second. Finally
Valerie reached the edge and went over it. Her orgasm hit with the force of a
tornado. She shook with such force that she knocked Cheryl back several feet.
The sensations overwhelmed her that she passed out and hung limp from the
pulley.

Penny lowered the pulley until Valerie sat on the floor. Cheryl untied Valerie's
wrists and lay her down on the floor. Penny picked up a blanket then covered the
sleeping girl. They crept out of the playroom and back to the bedroom where they
had left Luann bound to the post.

"I'm so horny," Cheryl, said when they got there.

"I know, so am I," Penny responded, "but I have work to do downstairs. If you
can't wait until later, use Luann. I'm sure she could do a good job on you."

"I know that, but I wanted you to," Cheryl said as she began to rub against
Penny trying to entice her.

"No, I can't now darling, but I promise I will make it up to you later. Cheryl
took hold of Penny's arm and pulled her around, at the same time taking a swing
at her ass with her hand. When it landed, it stung even the clothes that Penny
was wearing. "Take off your clothes," Cheryl ordered. Penny recognized the tone
in Cheryl's voice, so she did as she was told. When she was naked, Cheryl said,
" Now help me take off mine." Penny helped Cheryl undress. When Cheryl was naked
they embraced and kissed passionately.

"Get me a paddle," Cheryl ordered.

"What about Luann," Penny asked.

Cheryl thought for a moment then said, "Alright, get a blindfold."

Penny ran down the hall to the playroom where Valerie slept on the floor and
picked up the paddle and blindfold, then ran back to their room. She gave the
paddle to Cheryl then went to Luann and put the blindfold over her eyes. Penny
walked back to Cheryl with lust in the eyes, for she knew what was coming. They
had done this many times before after a session in the attic.

The naked Penny went into her submissive mode. She knelt in front of Cheryl and
said, "Mistress I have been bad. I have failed to please my mistress by
neglecting my mistress' pleasure. I beg to be punished."

Cheryl ordered Penny to kneel over a chest that was at the foot of the bed. She
took the paddle and hit Penny on the left ass cheek. Again and again she hit
that cheek until it turned light red, only then did she move to the right cheek,
only to do the same thing. When both cheeks were the same color only then did
she stop the spanking. The tears rolled down Penny's cheeks as she again knelt
in front of the mistress. Cheryl, then, sat on the edge of the bed and spread
her legs wide. Penny crawled in between them and started to kiss Cheryl's inner
thigh slowly moving up to her wide-open and wet slit. She spread Cheryl's pussy
lips and ran her tongue over the exposed clit, then down and into the wet pussy.
Penny reached down between her own legs and began to masturbate as she lapped up
all Cheryl's juices and aroused Cheryl more and more until she reached the
orgasm that she desperately needed. Cheryl's whole body stiffened and trembled
as Penny reached her own orgasm.

Penny slipped out of her submissive mode while waiting until Cheryl relaxed then
said, " I would love to stay there all day but I really do have work to do
downstairs. Can you take care of Luann for me?"

"O. K. I'll watch Luann. You go and do whatever you have to," Cheryl replied
when she had her voice back. Penny kissed her on the cheek, then picked up her
clothes and then went into the bathroom to shower and dress.
