She was sitting in her car, parked and wondering if it was the right thing to do. She sighed and leaned back into the seat and scanned the premise. It looked like an ordinary house, from an ordinary suburb.
-Someone seems to have forgotten to take in some of the Christmas decorations. She said to herself. The familiar smells from the car and the recently purchased coffee permeated the car as she sat there.
-FUCK, she slammed both of her hands into the steering wheel.
-Get a grip of yourself. But it wasn’t easy. She felt the steel chastity belt with its unrelenting grip that had been her bane for the past weeks. Not only was she frustrated and horny, but she was feeling the stress from everything else that seemed to have gone wrong leading up to this point.
-I just need to get out of the car, ring the doorbell and politely ask for the keys back. But part of her didn’t want to. Her emotions were in a fritz and she couldn’t make heads or tails of it. She raised her head once again and looked at the house. Nothing had changed. There was no one around.
-How was I supposed to know that being denied access was going to be so frustrating. Part of it was true, part of her wanted the frustration, needed it. She was getting warm in her clothes as she was delaying the inevitable. It was chilly outside, but warm in the car.
-I could just drive back home and try again tomorrow. She couldn’t convince herself. Her hand finally releasing the wheel and resting on the sides, as a resignation. She wanted to masturbate so badly it hurt.
-FUCK, she exclaimed again. To her left she could see a squirrel jumping down from a tree and skipping off out of sight. She took a deep breath and opened the door. Stepped out of the car. She was passed the worry of others noticing if the belt was visible or not. Turns out it was much easier to hide or that perhaps people noticed but didn’t say anything. She blushed at the thought and held back the swear word. Closing the car door and walking up to the front door she braced herself. Did a final check to see if her clothes were in order and her hair was fine. It felt nice to be out in the cold fresh air. She raised her hand and pushed the doorbell.
It was a lazy Sunday and Veronica was at home, most of the morning chores were done and she was sitting in front of her computer browsing when she heard a knock on the door. She wasn’t expecting anyone so she was a bit surprised by it. She heard the knock again and stood up and walked towards the door. She looked at the security camera and saw a brunette in her thirties and she didn’t recognize her. She was casually dressed so odds were that she was a neighbour she hadn’t met yet. She unlocked the door and opened it.
-Yes?
The brunette looked thankful at the opening as she was in some sort of trouble.
-Hi, my name is Elizabeth and I’m a neighbour. I live on the top floor. She went silent. I was doing my morning jog on the treadmill when the power in my apartment went out and now I can’t do anything. I tried to contact the owner of the house but it went straight to voicemail. I Tried all the other neighbours but so far you're the only one that seems to be home.
-Did you try to flick the breaker?
-Could you perhaps help me with it? Veronica thought about it for a moment.
-Sure, just let me get my shoes first.
-Oh thank you so much! Elizabeth looked relieved she waited at the door while Veronica went and grabbed her shoes.
-So what kind of treadmill do you have? She closed and locked the door behind her.
-Oh, I don’t know the brand of it, all I know is that it was very expensive.
Veronica wasn’t much for small talk, in fact she liked to be alone for long periods of time. She tried to come up with something else to talk about but came up empty. They walked to the end of the hall where the stairs to the next floor were.
-I’m so happy that someone was home though, I have no idea what I would have done otherwise.
-Well it should be an easy fix. So no worries.
-I just moved here, you see, I don't know anyone in the city.
-Sounds rough, I’m sure you had your reasons for moving here though.
-I work for a tech company, maybe you have heard of them? SirTech.
-SirTech? Isn’t that the up and coming tech giant that competes with Aicrosoft and Mappel? Veronica got the impression that whatever role Elizabeth had, it wasn’t tech related.
-Yes, that’s right. I was lucky enough to get a position.
Get a position? What an odd way of saying you got accepted to the job. They reached the far end of the floor and Elizabeth opened her door.
-Step right in and make yourself at home.
-Ah, no need, the breaker is right here at the door. She reached up and did a quick inspection and as she suspected.
-I’ll just turn the breaker back up and it should be working,
Moments later and the power went back on.
Elizabeth looked relieved and rushed back and grabbed Veronica's hands.
-Thank you, thank you so much!
-It was an easy fix so you're welcome. Getting ready to leave now that the ordeal was over Elizabeth asked.
-Could you perhaps stay a little while? For one I’d like to reward you and. She trailed off to silence.
-I got some freshly baked cinnamon rolls.
Veronica wanted to go back to her apartment but saw no reason to turn down the kind offer.
-How could I say no to that? She closed the door behind her and stepped into the apartment. It was sparsely decorated with a huge pink sofa that looked a bit out of place. Lots of green plants and there was a pleasant smell throughout the apartment.
-Nice place you got here, seems almost like the same layout as my own but a little bit different.
Elizabeth had walked into the kitchen.
-I’m sorry, what did you say?
-Never mind.
A glance at the doorway to the bedroom there was a metallic object on the bed that seemed to be in a mess. In the corner of the living room was the treadmill. To her surprise she knew the brand as it was one she wanted to buy for herself one day when she could afford it.
-Hu, what a coincidence.
-What was that?
-Oh nothing, just talking to myself.
Elizabeth came back out from the kitchen and plated the dinner table.
-Please, sit.
The smell from the buns was divine.
-So you baked these yourself?
-Sure did, my mother taught me how to bake at an early age and it's just something I love to do every now and then.
-Oh I never asked what your name was, how silly of me.
-It’s Veronica.
-Veronica? What a wonderful name. Please, dig in as my mother would say. Well I guess I could have a worse day than this Veronica thought to herself. Elizabeth seemed nice on the surface so far and it wasn’t everyday that she got to eat freshly baked buns. There was this nagging feeling that something was off but she couldn’t quite place her finger on what. The way Elizabeth seemed to move and conduct herself was just a bit strange. Besides that, the sun was shining through the windows giving the apartment a bright and warm feel. They ate the buns while Elizabeth was doing her best to keep a conversation going. Veronica felt sorry for her, but it wasn’t part of her skill set.
-So are you a Dom , a switch or a sub? Elizabeth asked out of the blue.
Veronica nearly choked on the last piece of bun.
-I’m sorry, what?!
-Did you know that it takes only 10 minutes for the sedative in the tea to work?
Sedative? What was she talking about?
-I work in the chemical department of SirTech you see. You could almost say I’m Sir’s right hand. Managing the business side of things gets tedious so whenever I get to do actual work it’s so much more fun.
Veronica stod up.
-This isn’t funny, I’m leaving, right now.
-Are you now? Your profile suggested as much but it’s also human nature to escape at the first sign of danger.
Profile? What was going on? And then she felt the knees give in. She braced against the table.
-See? Don’t worry dear, we’re part of the good guys after all.
Veronica wanted to call out but everything started to go black. She tried to reach for her mobile phone but remembered she left it in her apartment. She slurred out a few last words.
-urnotgettingaway..
-Splendid, you’ll be safe and secure in no time dear.
And with her last consciousness she watched the smirk on Elizabeth's face and drifted off to darkness.
