Back Safe

"I think she passed out!" whispered Cathy, as she zoomed into Jana's face for another picture. "Damn, look at how swollen her tits are! They look like they pop any minute!"

Maya approached the bound girl and patted her head softly, then with more vigor. "Oops, yup, you're right. She passed out cold. Guess that was a bit too much for her."

She knelt down, took one of the awfully constricted breasts in her hand and examined the tight ball closely. "All purple. And tight like some overfilled water balloon! Kind of hot to the touch, too! This doesn't look healthy, guys. We really need to get her out of this thing. And quick!"

Together they went to work, rolled the **** girl on her back and began pulling at her trapped pillows.

"Can't you expand those tubes again with that nifty remote of yours?" asked the artist as he tried to open the tight device with his hands, "Those things are completely stuck!"

Maya looked at him in surprise, smacked her head and shouted, "Of course! Good idea!" She searched through her bag, retrieved the remote and pressed a few buttons.

"Uh-oh, no pressure left in there!" she said as some air escaped and the tubes shrank a tiny bit further, pressing a drop of milk out of the distended melons. "Cathy, get me the compressor from the car, we need to put some pressure in there first!"

Together, they managed to connect the valves on Jana's contraption to the machine, and soon compressed air was hissing into the tubes. Slowly, the tight metal around Jana's purple assets expanded, and the tight balls deflated in front of their eyes.

"Looks much better! Poor girl! Should be much easier to remove those tubes now!"

And indeed, finally they succeeded in pulling the cold metal from Jana, and her tortured flesh slowly returned to its natural color and shape.

Jana barely remembered anything when she woke up. Well, she had been out with the others, doing an outdoor shoot in the woods... Ugh, that hellish contraption tormenting her tits... right, she remembered that part!

But how did she get back to her hotel? Was the shoot a success at all? She faintly remembered the others leaving her, that she was alone out there, bound and helpless. She shivered. Did she just dream the whole thing?

Groggily, Jana managed to crawl out of her bed. Her entire body hurt like fuck. Muscles, she did not even remember having, ached, and her breasts tingled and itched. Definitely not a dream! She had to find out what had happened!

Jana fumbled her phone out of her bag and called Gula.

"Hey!"

"Hey! Hi Jana, great to hear from you! How... are you? You did a fantastic job, yesterday!"

"Really? That's great! Because I can't remember a thing! Did I pass out or what?"

"Well, kind of, I guess. Right after Cathy took the final picture, you collapsed and slumped over like a freaking sack of potatoes!" he giggled, "Wasn't easy to get you out of there. And freeing you from that tube-thing was quite a challenge! Glad to hear that you are all well and good!"

"Really? So I did it? I managed the pose?"

"Like a pro, sweetie! We're in the shop looking at the pictures we took. They're spectacular! Some of them are just like that sketch! You should really drop by and see them yourself, they're simply incredible! Even Cathy said they're her best work, ever!"

Jana almost felt the artist's excitement radiating through the phone. This buzzing, warm feeling that something you worked on very hard for a long time came finally to fruition. She got quite curious about those photos, too. Were they really that great?

Jana showered, grabbed something to eat and headed out of the hotel. Every piece of her body hurt, her leg muscles ached, and her entire back felt sore. And her boobs were a whole different story, suffering from a level of soreness that was simply out of this world. She couldn't remember feeling that beaten since ages! What the hell did she do yesterday?

The looks she got, when she entered the little shop, were kind of weird. Like, if Cathy and Maya were hesitating to say anything. Like, they were trying to figure out Jana's mood first, just in case.

Jana approached the table where they assembled and saw the printouts spread over it. Her heart skipped a beat as she saw herself, wide eyed, stretched, ****, imitating Yeina's pose on the sketch. Her constrained breasts were practically oozing out of the tight tubes and looked rather unhealthy. In some of the pictures she could even see the trickle of milk flowing from her compressed teats. The whole scenery was breathtaking. She gulped.

"This... this is what I did yesterday? I mean, I remember being squeezed into those things, and I even remember how you asked me to... pose and pushed me around... but..."

Then, suddenly, something happened in her head, and her memories came back in an instant. She remembered being in that forest, everything hurting, the others chatting and joking. And suddenly they had left her behind, left her alone in that creepy forest.

Anger rose in her, as her memory became more pronounced and she gnarled, "You have left me there, simply walked from me! I was scared like shit! Where did you go? You told me that camera... but those pictures... I thought the thing broke?"

Suddenly, she realized. It was all a ruse! She screamed, "You lied to me?! You betrayed me?! You... the camera didn't break! Right? Right?! Tell me, Gula, tell me NOW!"

Gula gulped. Red-faced, he whispered, "Jana, calm down for god's sake! Look... it was... necessary!"

"Necessary? I almost fucking peed my pants out there!"

Cathy calmly retorted, "Don't be such a wimp, Jana! You perfectly knew it wouldn't be easy, so don't be such a fucking prima donna. And for god's sake, look at those pictures! All of the ones from before we left simply look fake! Only when you are alone, after we are gone, your facial expression looks believable and authentic! Can't you see? It was really the best choice!"

Jana blinked and spat, "Easy to say for you, fucking flat-chested tomboy! You weren't in that situation! You have no clue how I felt!"

Then, her gaze fell on the pictures again. Was Cathy right? Jana tried to remember which pictures were first. Yes, yes, she could tell the sequence from the position of the sun and from how the light came in. Jana studied her own face in the images.

Fuck. Cathy indeed had a point! The later the time, the more fearful she looked. Kind of obvious, really. If you're scared, you look scared. But the difference was significant, the scene just felt much more real when she looked like that. Yes, she had to agree, the last pictures were indeed breathtaking. Jana groaned and muttered, "Fine whatever!"

Cathy retorted calmly, "And by the way, the real Yeina wouldn't make such a fuss. As a proud warrior, she would just deal with the situation and do what's best for the project! She wouldn't be such a whiner!"

Jana's eyes pierced through Cathy as she laughed at her and spat, "Yeina? Yeina would fucking kill you for that betrayal! But, well, you're lucky that I'm not an actual warrior. I actually get it, really! I see the difference and appreciate the pictures. They're great and all. But I still vividly remember that situation out there, and I assure you it was NOT FUNNY! So, don't fucking expect me to be thankful for this, OK? Now excuse me, I need a drink!"

With that, and without looking back, she stormed out of the shop and slammed the door shut as she left.

"Wow, that was intense!" whispered Gula after a moment of silence, "Hope she'll forgive us..."

"There's nothing to forgive, dammit! She just needs to grow a pair and be a pro!" grumbled Cathy annoyed.

"She'll be OK, Gula!" whispered Maya, "Give her some time and she'll come back!"

And indeed, a few days later Jana showed up again, relaxed and full of energy.

"Sorry guys, I... wasn't myself back then. I just felt betrayed, I guess. But I had time to think about this whole thing, and I'm fine now. Really. I'm OK."

"Great!" smiled Gula, "I already feared you'll leave us for good!"

"No worries, this project is too important to me! Now show me those pictures again! Did you post them already? What did people say?"

"Actually, I haven't posted them yet, still working on the text and all. It'll be a while before the next round, and we thought about letting the community decide on the next piece!"
