48 Hours on Blue Bayou Pt. 10: Autumn

"Oh Miss! I'll do anything..."

"Shhh. I know. It begins with the new girl. Of course, you must not breathe a word of this to anyone."

"Yes, Miss! You know I won't."

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

"What is your name?" Miriam, sitting in a chair, faced the new girl. Linda stood to her left, Abby and Autumn to her right.

"Um, Anna Holmes. What's going to happen to me?"

"First, Anna, you will address me as Miss Miriam. You will only speak to answer my questions and you will answer them fully, in complete sentences. Is that clear?"

Anna's voice took on a higher pitch. "You have to let me go! What is wrong with you?" She bolted for the door but found it locked. She fell to the floor, curled into a ball and started loudly sobbing.

"We are going to wait for you to return to your place, Anna Holmes, then, we will start over. Do not try my patience. We are on a boat in the middle of the ocean and you are not going anywhere. I do not wish to gag you, or ask my assistant to use the leather belt she is carrying. Now, get yourself together!"

After a few minutes, a subdued woman rose and walked back across the room. She wiped a few tears on her sleeve.

"A few minutes ago, you wondered what was going to happen to you. But you already have a good idea, don't you? What is going to happen to you? Do not forget my rules."

"Um, err, I guess I'm a captive on this boat, but why? Uh, Miss..."

"Miriam. You are correct. Your situation will become much clearer in the next few days, but first, you are going to tell us about yourself and show us your assets. The man you know as Albert usually provides us with a complete assessment of his shipments. But, he sent you to us raw and untested. So, we will start from the beginning and do some training as we proceed.

"These girls are Autumn and Abby. They are your role models and you will do exactly what they do. For example, remove your blouse. Slowly." The two women started to unbutton from the top.

"Ohh, please!" Linda took a step toward her. "OK, OK!" Anna started unbuttoning and letting the blouse slip to the floor. As she looked up, she noticed that the two women were bare-breasted.

"You are not permitted a bra on board. Lose it!" Anna tearfully reached back to unclasp the bra and let it slip from her shoulders. "Very nice. Tell us your height, weight, and measurements."

"Umm, I'm 5 foot 3. I weigh about 110 and uh, I'm about 32-27-34, Miss, uh Miriam."

"Thank you. Put your hands behind your neck and turn around for me." As three girls turned, Linda thought of those wind-up music boxes with twirling dancers. "Now, pick up your bra and read the tag to us."

After a long sigh she read, "Ummm, it's 34B, Miss Miriam."

"Thank you. Linda, please finish the interview."

Linda took a deep breath and walked up to Anna. Slapping a leather belt on her hand. "You have 15 seconds to get naked!" The terrified girl quickly kicked off her shoes. Her jeans were tight, so she tumbled to the floor to peel off socks and pants. She looked up.

"Wait! Stand up! Get those shoulders back and your head up. Be proud of your body!" Anna ended up standing at attention like a sobbing soldier.

"Now, as slowly as you can, peel off those pretty pink panties, one side at a time. If you're going too fast, I'll let you know with this." Another loud slap of the belt. Anna jumped, but started moving the waistband at her left. Half an inch at a time, her last covering headed south. She had to tug at the legs a few times.

As the panties hit Anna's knees, Linda realized that she had been concentrating on her subject the whole time. She glanced back to her right. Autumn and Abby stood at attention, panties at half-mast. Further back, she spied Miriam, slightly smiling.

"All right, drop them!" Three pairs, one pink and two white, fluttered to the carpet. "Now, fold your clothes in a neat pile and take them to Miss Miriam." Anna went to one knee and began folding the jeans and blouse. The bra and panties topped the pile. The two role models offered their clothing as well.

"I believe you are ready now for a few more questions. You will address me as 'Ma'am,' and speak in sentences. Is that clear?"

"Yes Ma'am. Uh, yes, that is clear."

"I am impressed to see that you are bare. Is that normal for you?"

"Ummm, no, ma'am, that man shaved me down there." Anna's blush returned as she remembered holding her knees open for Albert. He had been gentle but persistent, shaving and bringing her to a rolling orgasm.

"Good. Did he teach you any positions?"

"Uh, I'm not sure, Ma'am. He made me kneel down."

"Show me." Anna dropped down, putting her hands behind her neck. "Did he tell you to keep your knees together?"

"No, Ma'am, he, uh, he, err, said to keep them far enough apart..." She looked away, in tears.

"Go on!"

"Uh, far enough so he could tell if I was, uh, t-turned on." She started to separate her knees. Every eye in the room turned to her crotch.

"And?"

"No! I'm not! ...Ma'am." Linda took a step forward, crouched down and ran a finger along Anna's bare slit. Anna came up off her heels. "Ahhh, please!"

"Really? What is this?" She held up a shiny finger. Anna put her face in her hands and sobbed. "All right, let's get on with it. Do you have any tattoos or birthmarks that we haven't seen?"

"No, Ma'am, I don't have any of those."

"How old are you and where are you from?"

"Um, I'm 24 and I live in Denver, Ma'am."

"Anna, I think we will continue tomorrow. If you have any hope of ever getting back to Colorado, you will do exactly what you are told, and you will try to please me in any way that you can. Do you understand?"

"Yes, Ma'am, I understand."

"Good. Autumn here will take you to a room and get you some food. She will also answer some of your questions. You may go."

Autumn fetched robes from the bed and gave one to Abby and the other to Anna. She directed Anna out of the room, thinking, 'OK, good cop-bad cop.' She mouthed "Food" to Abby. To the new captive, she said, "You've had a tough day. Are you hungry?"

"Yes, Ma'am, but mostly just tired."

"Please call me Autumn. You and I are in the same boat. Oh! I guess I made a little joke!" Anna produced a slight smile, then stopped dead in the hall.

"This can't be happening! It's a nightmare!" She collapsed into Autumn's arms. They clung to each other for long moments. "How can you..."

"I know, honey. Come on, we can talk in the room." As they arrived, Abby walked up with a tray of food. As they nibbled and sipped some tea, Autumn began. "Anna, first off, none of the women you saw earlier is here by choice, not one. We are here because the owner of this ship bought us. That is horrible, but it's the plain truth. He is rich enough and powerful enough to do whatever he wants."

"No! You have to help me get away! What is wrong with you?"

Abby spoke. "Anna, we have all looked for ways to escape. We're in the middle of the ocean. I don't even know what ocean, but we never dock anywhere. The Master has everything brought to the ship..."

"Master? I'm not a slave!" She collapsed in tears on the bed. Autumn moved in to rub her back.

"Get some sleep. I'll be back in the morning to help you get a shower. Remember when Linda said there is a possibility you could get back to Denver? Cling to that thought tonight. Abby and I will help you through this."

For breakfast, Abby brought oatmeal with blueberries and coffee for three. They ate largely in silence. Autumn said, "Why don't you go take a long hot shower. Be sure to check your shaving. We have an idea to make today a little easier for you."

Anna emerged from the steamy bathroom with her robe tied tightly and faced Autumn. "What idea?"

"You have to learn and practice the positions. We thought it might be easier to do that here, instead of going back to Miss Miriam and Linda. What do you think? We can even keep our robes on for the first part."

"Umm, OK. This is really happening, isn't it?"

"Yes, honey, it is. This is that bad dream we've all had about being kidnapped and sold. But, if it had to happen, we are better off than some. They will not torture us or throw us in a dungeon or a cage. If you can do what they say and have some kind of enthusiasm, even fake enthusiasm, you won't be hurt at all."

"If you can't, they have what they call a session. I have had one. I'll just say it's a painful spanking with a bonus." Abby added a little giggle.

"The first position is 'stand.' Hands behind your head, feet apart a little more. Good. Elbows back a little. That's it. Look straight ahead, unless someone is talking to you. Now, go to your knees, hands behind your back." Autumn observed the new girl's first attempt. "You know what I have to say now, don't you?

"Yes." Anna moved her knees apart.

"All right, the last one is embarrassing, but there's no way around it. Keep your knees apart and put your face on the floor. This is called 'down,' or '3.' Sometimes they will just snap their fingers." With a gasp and a reddening face, Anna complied. "Good. Now in one motion, go back to your knees and then stand." Her first try was clumsy, but she managed to go through with it.

"Anna, naked is normal around here and you might as well get used to it," Abby added as she dropped her robe. "Now, go from one to the other as gracefully as you can. Watch Autumn." Autumn amazed herself at how fluidly her movements went. "Now, you try it a few times. It gets easier."

After a half-dozen tries, Anna met the girl's approval. "OK, let's get dressed and talk a little more."

Autumn began. "Honey, have you ever given a man a blow job?"

Anna recoiled a little at the question. "Uh, yes, a few times. Why?"

"We have to do that here. They just call it 'head.' In a day or two, you are probably going to have to give one to the Captain. It's part of the training before you see the Mas... uh, the owner."

"And before the poker game," Abby added. Just then, Linda opened the door. Autumn started to guide Anna down, but Linda held up her hand.

"Just stand." The three barefoot women rose together. "Anna, have you been practicing? Lose the robe and show me 'stand.'"

In a moment, Anna stood naked before Linda. "Kneel." Anna slid gracefully to her spread position. "Good. Now, 'down.'" Anna's face touched the floor. Linda glanced at the other girls.

"Miss Linda," Abby quickly whispered, "We didn't get any farther."

"Oh. OK, Anna, turn to face the wall and look back at me." Anna slowly turned. Linda stepped up and gave her a light slap with the belt. The sound of the slap was much stronger than its force.

"Oww! Please!" But Anna knew. She parted her legs widely. Humiliated, she quietly sobbed.

"There will be times when you are commanded to hold yourself open with your hands, but for now, go through the sequence with grace and poise." Anna began to move through the three positions, grateful for the practice before Linda walked in with the belt. "Stand. You are going to meet the Captain tomorrow. I will expect obedience."

Autumn thought again about 'good cop-bad cop.' "Miss Linda! May we have one more day with Anna before..."

"Yes, that will be fine. Use your time wisely." She turned and left. Anna gave out with a sigh of relief as she donned her robe.

"Oh my god, thank you! This is all happening so fast. Autumn, why is she so mean?"

"They feel they have to be intimidating at first to get us to accept the situation. We all went through it. It will get better so long as you do what they say. I promise. Can you try?" Anna sat on the bed. "I have an idea! Let's get dressed. I'll go find some food and then we'll take a tour of the ship. OK?"

Autumn knocked on Miriam's door. As she entered she made a motion to kneel, but Miriam motioned her to sit in a chair. "Dear, that was a good move to ask for another day. Linda thinks Anna is coming along nicely."

"Thank you, Miss. We're trying to do our part. We'd like to walk her around the ship later. Is that OK? She's on overload right now."

"That's a good idea. Begin talking to her about galley and housekeeping duties. Most women can relate to cooking and cleaning. It will get her mind off the other part."

"May I ask why Linda is suddenly carrying a belt? What's going on?"

"No, you may not ask. I will simply say that our job is to produce a compliant, obedient Anna. If we are successful, good things will follow for all of us. That is not a change. We all are to do what Master commands. Do you understand?"

"Yes, Miss Miriam. Will you excuse me? I was on my way to get some lunch for us. Thank you." As Autumn retreated to the door, she was already thinking, "Could this mean Linda is going to replace Miriam? Is this her chance to leave? My chance?"

As the door closed, Linda came out of hiding in the bathroom. Miriam and she continued their conversation in whispers. "Dear, Master has at last agreed that I have fulfilled my obligation to him. If all goes as planned, I can leave the ship in about a month. You and I have two hurdles to clear: Master has to believe that you can do my job at a high level, and he has to receive a very good visit with Anna. I think the second one will require our utmost effort. Your thoughts?"

Linda lowered her voice even more. "Miriam, I've learned a lot already. Let me shadow you for a couple weeks, maybe even in your meetings with Master. I can absolutely do this! As for Anna, I think it's going well. Your good cop-bad cop plan is a good one. I have an idea to take it even further. What if we enlist the Captain to put on a little show..."

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

The girls were back in Anna's room on the morning of the Captain's appearance. The previous day had been light, with a tour, eating, and girl talk. Now the talk turned serious again. Autumn knew she had to pull this off if there was any hope of escape. "Anna, you said you have given blow jobs before. You have to give one to the Captain today. Abby and I are counting on you. If the Captain is happy, life gets better for all of us. Can you try?"

"I don't know if I can. The last guy I went down on needed a shower. It was not good."

Autumn thought of her smelly client at the first poker game. Smoothly, Abby replied. "Anna, that's one thing you don't have to worry about. The Captain is always very clean..."

Autumn broke in. "Listen, we have both been there. Here's what you need to do. First, look him in the eyes as you crawl closer. Lick your lips. Make him think you want to do this. Then start slow. Kiss and lick for a few minutes. He doesn't want to stick it down your throat. Just take it in and start moving. Use one hand to pump him a little and the other to massage his balls. Keep moving your lips over his ridge. Moan a little. He'll get off in no time."

"Then just kiss and lick a little more and you're done. He will give you some poker chips. Just take them. We'll tell you about that later. OK?"

Anna nodded and looked at the floor. She was wiping a few tears away when Linda opened the door. "Are you ready?"

"Yes, Ma'am."

"All right, come with me. Abby, you may remain here."

The Captain, shirtless, sat in a chair in the room. Linda, Autumn, and Anna entered. "Strip and keel." In a moment, the two women adopted the familiar open pose. They didn't notice Miriam in a far corner. "Anna, you may begin."

Anna started to crawl toward the Captain. As she approached, he started to unbuckle his belt. Anna progressed as far as placing her hands on his knees when she froze and put her head down. "Oh please!"

"I thought she was ready," accused the Captain.

Miriam darted forward. "Linda, give me that strap! I'll get her ready!" She grabbed the strap and stepped toward Anna.

Linda quickly headed her off. "Wait! Please, wait a minute, Miriam! Let's give her a little time to get herself together. Please!" She was standing between Anna and Miriam. The Captain dramatically looked at his watch. "Give them fifteen minutes, please! Autumn, talk to her. Miriam, let's leave the room for now." Linda took Miriam's arm and guided her to the door.

Miriam glanced back. "Fifteen minutes."

Autumn grabbed a robe and rushed over to pick Anna up. "Come over here for a minute. Put this on." She whispered, "You can do this, Anna. Just go through the steps." Anna wiped her face on the robe sleeve. "I know! I'll go with you. We'll double team him. C'mon, just stay with me."

Autumn dropped to all fours and glanced up. In a moment, Anna shed her robe and dropped beside her. As they crawled, Autumn made full body contact. "Good morning, Captain. Your pants look too tight. Let us help you." Autumn led in the effort to take down his trousers. Excited by the previous drama, he already sported a nice erection.

"You take one side, I'll take the other." They began their two-front assault on the Captain's shaft. Anna followed Autumn's lead, making little moans and slurping sounds. Autumn moved Anna's lips up to the head. "OK, honey, do your thing." The shaft disappeared into her mouth. The Captain groaned. Autumn began tiny nibbles on his balls. After a few long moments, she whispered, "Captain, can we give you another bath soon?"

"Ahhh, ahh, oh, oh." That image finished the job. He slumped in the chair, breathing heavily. At length, he moved to pull his pants up. Through a few more deep breaths, he said," Thank you, ladies. Here are five chips, but you'll have to split them."

As he left the room, he saw Miriam and Linda in the hall. He gave them a wink and a smile. Miriam gave a short curtsy and said, "Thank you, Captain! It looks like our little charade worked."

"Always a pleasure, ladies!"

In the room, Autumn pressed the chips into Anna's hand. "Show these to Miriam. You passed the test! The chips are money. I want to hug you, but put your robe on first." They smiled and embraced as Miriam walked in. Autumn pulled Anna down to kneel.

"The Captain is very happy with you two. Thank you. Anna, how many chips did you get?"

"Five, Miss. I don't know what they are for yet."

"The girls will explain. And Autumn, here are more chips for you and Abby. Do you know where the spa room is?"

"Yes, Miss, near the stern?"

"The three of you are cleared for two hours of private time there. I'll see you tomorrow. Thank you again. I am very pleased."

For the first time in their collective experience on board, the women were happy to shed robes and get naked. They splashed, dunked, and giggled the two hours away. They spent the rest of the day in Autumn's room, watching TV. As yawns began to outnumber laughs, Autumn turned the TV off.

"Anna, the chips are our money. We pay for meals and we can buy underwear and a few other things. The weird part is that you earn them, umm, I guess, with your enthusiasm. The Captain was happy, so he gave you five chips. If you can find a way to accept our situation, you will see that it could be so much worse. Soon, you'll spend a night with the Master. It's not hard to please him because he just takes over. A little like spending the night with Richard Gere in Pretty Woman."

Abby said, "Anna, you can do this. It's how we survive. We work and we give them sex. You have to get with it. There is really no other choice. Autumn and I have seen what happens if we don't. It's bad. But it seems like we can be together a lot in our off times..."

"...And if there is any chance to get back to real life some day, this is it," Autumn added.

Anna took a deep breath. "It seems you are right about not having a choice, and you guys have been so good to me. I'll do my best, but I can't promise a lot of enthusiasm." They drew into one more embrace and went off to bed.

Around midnight, Linda came to Autumn's room and sat on the bed. She could smell that her friend had been masturbating. "Wake up, naughty girl. I know what you did!"
