The stripping of Jane Harker

One moment, the three women in front of Jane Harker were staring at her. The next, they were upon her.

Jane tried to fight them off but they were just too strong for her. One held her arms while another held her legs and yet another silently and slowly peeled off her white stockings. At first, Jane found herself being glad that they were being so careful in their removal of her stockings because she really did not want to see a run in them. Then she realized that the three women weren't likely to stop there and she struggled even harder to get loose of their grip. But to no avail.

Next the three women removed Jane's nightgown and tossed it onto the floor next to her stockings.

Then they unhooked her bra and tossed it in the same place.

As Winona and Sarah worked at removing Jane's final garment, Barbara gently brushed one of Jane's nipples with one of her fingers. Jane could not see her face but somehow she could imagine her smiling as the nipple stiffened in response to the expert touch of Barbara's digit.

"I get the feeling that this isn't the first time you've been undressed by a woman, is it?" asked Barbara.

Jane did her best to ignore the question and keep a stiff upper lip but by then the fingers of Winona and Sarah were touching parts of Jane that were not so stiff and it seemed like all Jane could do to refrain from doing more than squirm.

Then Jane's final garment ended up on the top of the clothing pile and Jane found herself sighing with relief. Surely the process was over now, right? After all, she was totally naked now so what else could they possibly take off?

She reached for a sheet to cover herself with but Barbara took it away from her. The other two women took the rest of her bedding and placed it on top of her clothing. Then the three women stood up and proceeded to go over to the wardrobe where they promptly removed all the clothes Jane had left there when she had gotten ready for bed.

As they piled all her stuff on top of the clothing pile, Jane crossed her arms around her uncovered breasts and repressed a shiver.

Then she had a thought.

"If you're going to take away all my clothing and bedding, you could at least give me something to help me stay warm," said Jane. "After all, it's freezing in here."

"No, it isn't," said Barbara, "though I will admit it's pretty cold. Still I imagine that an Englishwoman like you is used to cold temperatures."

"Not like this," said Jane.

"Oh, you'll get used to it," said Barbara.

"I'd rather not," said Jane.

"Very well," said Barbara. "I suppose our Master wouldn't object too strongly if we did something to keep you warm."

Barbara looked around the room a bit and then paused.

"I got it," said Barbara. "We'll start a fire in the fireplace."

"Excellent idea," said Winona.

Sarah walked over to the fireplace and started to light a fire, only to turn and say, "I don't know if there's much point in starting a fire. There's hardly any wood in the fireplace and I don't see anything else around here that we can burn."

Barbara smiled. "Oh, Sarah. You're usually a lot more clever than that. There are plenty of things around here that we can burn."

"Really?" asked Sarah. "Like what?"

"This," said Barbara, pointing to Jane's clothes and bedding.
