The Dungeon

The guards turn and drag Nicole through the doorway. The door slides shut with a hiss behind them and a heavy clunk signifies its locking.

The room they find themselves in is about the size of an indoor gym. It has padding along the walls and ceiling. Various racks of whips and other **** instruments hang on carefully organized wall displays. There are labeled chests that boast everything from "ropes" to "misc restraints" to "buttplugs." There are a few tall wardrobes against the wall, but their doors are closed. Strewn throughout the room are various machines that wouldn't look out of place in a gym. There's a few pillories, a St. Andrew's cross, and a whole bunch of others that Nicole didn't recognize.

Eric stops in the center of the room and holds his arms out wide. "This will be our play room. I hope you find it as impressive as I do; I've spent years and millions of dollars creating it. The walls and ceiling, as I'm sure you'll have noticed, are completely sound-proof so no sense screaming. Everything has been custom built to my exacting specifications."

Nicole and Jesse both look around the room with wide eyes, both speechless.

Eric pats Jesse on the head. "Sit," he commands.

Without a second thought, Jesse falls back to sit on her legs.

Eric tousles her hair. "Good girl."

Eric steps away from Jesse and walks to one of wardrobes and pulls open the doors. On each door, a selection of crops hang. Eric ignores them and starts searching on the shelves within for something else. A moment later he find what he's looking for and turns around with a grin.

"Come here, girl," he calls to Jesse patting his knees like one would do to summon a dog.

Jesse crawls to Eric and waits, on all fours, before him.

Eric looks to Nicole. "You see, Jesse is making it look so easy, but it's not all that hard to stay on my good side. And what happens when you stay on my good side?" Eric crouches down in front of Jesse. "You get rewarded!" Eric pulls his hands from behind his back and reveals the item he had retrieved from the wardrobe: a jeweled collar.

Eric hols his hand out flat over Jesse's head. "Sit."Jesse sits. Eric crouches in front of her and fastens the collar around her neck. "What do you think, girl? Do you like it?"

"Yes, sir."

"Excellent!" Eric jumps back to his feet and walks to a different wardrobe. He opens the doors and reaches to a couple of shelves. He slides a few different unseen items into his pockets and then walks over to Nicole who is still being held between the two guards.

"And what happens when you get on my bad side?" Eric asks?
