Lexi was sat in a bar awaiting her friend. Looking out the window at the grey clouds dropping large drips of rain. Idlely sipping her drink as she chats to the barman. “ why’s it called the broken drum” she asks. “ well “ he says smiling “ we can’t be beaten” Lexi rolls her eyes. So this is how V feels when I’m silly she thinks.  The door opens and there  stands someone. A large brimmed red hat and what at first glance could be a long red duster. In a few steps the figure is at the bar next to Lexi. “ good evening alacurd” lexi says with a grin. The figure lifts its head reviling a smile on the red lips. “ don’t you every stop lexi” the figure remarks as they remove the hat. “ what can I get you V? The usual?” A slight almost imperceptible nod from Vanessa “ the oldest nicest whisky you have please sugar” Lexi requests from barman.  He reaches under the bar and comes up with a bottle which he shows to Lexi. A slight nod towards her companion. Vanessa looks and nods in approval. a decent shot or two into the glass and it’s presented. Vanessa thanks the gent. Lifts the glass and inhales the aroma from the glass. “Shall we sit Lexi. We have much to discuss” Vanessa suggest as she takes her hat and coat to a table.

 

They sit and chat for a few hours. They are trying to figure a way to get Lexi involved with the school. Not as a student. But not as a tutor either. Both bouncing ideas. The conversation is interrupted but Vanessa phone going off. .” It’s brianna. I left her in charge. Please Excuse. me Lexi.” Lexi smiles. “ no worries V. “

 

B” lady Vanessa I’ve lost contact with Sarah.”

V” she’s not back yet? Ok fill me in”

B “ she went to the job you assigned her she called to say she’s there. But not heard from her after. I’ve tried calling her. Phone appears to be off. I’ve tracked her phone. Last location is where she was supposed to be. Called the client and his phones off too.”

V” ok bri. Get Taylor to take over from you  but any other calls she to take a number and tell them Lady Vanessa will call them back later. After that find mitch. Tell him I want THE tool box. And then both of you come and pick me up at the broken drum.ask Tina to come in another car and pick Lexi up. Don’t worry we will get this sorted.”

 

“Lexi sorry we got to cut this short.” Vanessa says with a grimace. “ I heard. I guess I’ll be meeting you at the school later” Lexi responds. “ as always lexi. You are a star. I might have need of you once I’m back” “ you know me V anything to help”. I’m very short order Brianna is at the door “ Tina isn’t far behind us. Hi Lexi “. “ hey bri. You ok ? I’m guessing somethings happened” bri goes to answer her but Vanessa raises her hand and her charge falls silent. “ Lexi I need you to know nothing at the minute. It will help later” “ as you wish V. “. Lexi stands as Vanessa pulls on her hat and coat and followed the ladies outside. She waved at mitch. He waves back but his mood seems off. Tina pulls up behind mitch. “ relax Lexi we won’t be too long hopefully.” Vanessa says with a small quiver in her voice. “ be safe. All of you “Lexi says as she gets in the car with Tina. She waves as Tina drives them home.

 

“Ok bri what do we know.? “ Vanessa asks as she sits in the car with Briana and Mitch. “ no contact from Sarah. No reply or contact from the customer both phones are off but in same location when they were last on. Which was the address Sarah was going to.” “ are we expecting trouble?” Mitch asked. “ your toolbox is under the seat. I clean it once a month. Just in case”. “What is this toolbox” Brianna asks quizzical “ don’t worry about that princess hopefully I won’t need it.”

 

They pull up to the address. “Wait here both of you please.” Vanessa instructs. She goes and knocks on the door. No answer. She knocks again louder. She hears the television get louder. She turns to the car. “ Mitch could you be a star and open the door please” Mitch exits the car. Walks to the door “ Nicely or gang busters?” He asks. “ little damage as possible please” she replies. He heads back to the car. Unlocking the toolbox. Moving aside 2 custom built semi auto 2011 model colt 44’s, to find his lock picks. Closes, re locks the box and returns to Vanessa at he front door.  . In less time than it took to say elephant he opens the door. “Thank you mitch.”  Vanessa walks in to the house. The telly is up so load no one noticed Vanessa walk in. The only light was from the show. She strolls in and turns it off. The guy jumps as his now in the dark. “ where is she” Vanessa demands. No answer. “ WERE IS SHE” she asks again. She takes a step towards him. “ vampires aren’t real. It’s all in my mind. “ not shouting but demand Vanessa asks the question again. Another step forward. And his shrinking into the sofa. “ last time I ask. Where is Sarah?”

He points towards a door with a hand that is shaking so much. “ stay put”. Vanessa walks to the front door motions her companions. “ watch him. I doubt he will move”

 

Vanessa opens the door he pointed to. Turning on the light .Inside she finds Sarah tied to a St Andrews cross facing into it. Cuts and welts across her back. “Bri find the kitchen and get me a knife.” She walks to Sarah. “ it’s ok sweetheart I’m here. I’m sorry” she says as she removes a ball gag. Bri enters with a kitchen knife and gasps. Vanessa takes the knife from her. “ bri, brianna. Anger later. Now take her weight. “. As she cuts the bindings on her hands and feet. Bri catches Sarah as Vanessa imbeds the knife 2 inches  into the top of the cross. Helping Brianna with Sarah they move her to the bed wrapping her in a quilt. Vanessa talking to Sarah the whole time. Sarah start crying. her make up long gone. tracks done her body where her mascara had run. “ Sarah bri’s here. As is mitch. They are going to take you home. I’ll be there shortly. “ Vanessa softly says. She steps out the room back to when mitch is standing over the scared man. “ Mitch take the girls home please. I’m going to talk to him now. “ “ you going to be ok?” He says but as he says it Vanessa raised one of her perfect eyebrows. “ sorry that’s a silly question.”  Mitch goes into the other room followed by Vanessa. Mitch picks up a wrapped up Sarah as if she was a kitten. Gently but firmly. As not to cause any more distress. “Get her home  and if you can avoid Lexi. I don’t want her knowing anything yet”Vanessa watches them leave angry that she’s not with them.

 

As she returns to the cowering gent. She looks at him. His terrified. His wet his trousers , shaking. Bearly able to talk. “ do you have a car?” She asks him. He reaches into his pocket and pulls out keys. “ right. You have two options. 1st. You come with me and we discuss this. Or 2 I put you on the cross and return the favor. Leave you in the dark till you’re ready to talk” “nnnummber 1 please maam” he stammers “ it’s not ma’am it’s lady Vanessa. You use my service you know that. “ she barks making him whimper. “ right lead me to your car and I’ll drive you to my school.”  He stands eyes darting for a minute at the open door. “ think you can out run me. If you try it will end worse for you. “ as if a moment of clarity hit him. “ I’ll go with you. Sarahs bag is on the table as is my phone. “ Vanessa takes both as she accompanies him to the front door shuting and locking it. He points at his car. Unlocking it she puts him into the rear passenger seat. “ this won’t take long. “

 

On returning to the school Sarah was whisked to her room. Bri had organised a doctor to see her on the ride home. She arrived at the same time Vanessa returned. “Bri find Lexi please.and meet me in my office. “ Brianna shots off returning minutes later with Lexi. “ Lexi. Huge ask. I want you to talk to the scared man in my office find out what happened in the last few hours.” “ what’s happened” Lexi asks “ in good time sweetheart. These are his keys and phone. His not a prisoner or a hostage. But his here to tell you want happened. I know I can trust you to do what’s right. “

 

 

Lexi walks into the office. And Vanessa was right a very scared man sat in a chair. Lexi walks round the desk. Sits in the chair and looks at him. He won’t meet her gaze “ hello. I’m Lexi. And you would be?”  “David” he stutters. “Ok David. You can relax I’m not going to hurt you. Would you like a drink. Tea,something a bit stronger.”  “ no thank you.” Some mindless chit chat follows as Lexi tries to relax him.

 

L” ok let’s start at the start, what happened this evening. I’ve no idea what’s gone on. So if you can as much info as possible please “

D”. I called the service. I’ve used it before. She has some wonderful sissies”

L”that she does”

D” are you one”

L “I’m asking the questions David”

D” I asked Vanessa “

L”lady Vanessa” correcting him

D” sorry lady Vanessa , if she had someone I could tie up and spank.”

L”bondage dom. ?”

D” yes I wanted to see what it was like. So she suggested Sarah. “

L” good choice. Lovely lady. Lots of patience “

D “ so she came round. I tied her up she requested a ball gag. So I spanked her a bit with my hand. We both seemed to like that. Then I went and got a plastic spatula. That went well. Then I kinda of got carried away.  I took off my belt and used that. First the wide side then the edge. “

L”ok” her eyes had gone from relaxed. Easy going brown to an unblinking almost shark like black.

D” she was screaming even with he gag in her mouth. I don’t know how often I struck her. Then I saw she was bleeding. And as quick as I lost it. It came back. I panicked. I turned her phone off. Turned the light off. And shut the door on her. I turned my phone off and turned the telly on and up. Next thing I know I hear knocking. So I turn up the telly. Then there was a vampire in front of me.”

L”a vampire? Would you mean alacurd? Hellsing fan?”

D “ You saw him too”

Smiling Lexi answered yes as she nods.

L” continue please”

D” I don’t know where he went but there stood Vanessa”

L”lady Vanessa and that’s the last time I’ll tell you. If you don’t call her that especially now you may regret it “

L” then what happened?”

D “ another women and a man came in as lady Vanessa went to find Sarah. After that I got bought here.”

L” just so you are aware. You’re not being held here. You’re not a prisoner if you want your keys and phone I’ll give them to you and you’re free to leave. But I will say that Sarah is with the doctor. She turned up when you and lady Vanessa did so I’ve no idea what’s happened. If it’s bad she may press charges. And she will have the full support of everyone here. That’s just the criminal part. Lady Vanessa is respected and connected. You will find it very hard to exist in this scene or to be fair any kink scene. From clubs and services to forums and message boards, even the girls on the streets. And not just locally. “ “ my advice. And that’s your choice to take it or not. Is to sit tight. Wait here and see what she wants you to do. If I was in her shoes I’d tie you up and thrash the shit out of you. Purely as not once have you apologised or asked how Sarah is. “ he looks up and looks at Lexi. If looks could kill he realised he be dead. Lexi would do anything for anyone but hurt her kith or kin and even the devil run scared. Not that anyone at the school had seen it tho Vanessa was aware of it. As david tried to avoid lexis glare he shrinks back into the chair. “ please I’m sorry don’t hurt me.@ he wails. “ I’m not going to.yet. But should lady Vanessa tie you up you best hope I’m not close by “ the door knocks. Lexi looks up. “ come in.” She says to the door and Vanessa walks in “ lady Vanessa you didn’t need to knock”. “ I didn’t want to interrupt you Lexi”. “Please don’t leave me here with her. I think she wants to kill me” David cries to Vanessa. Vanessa raises an eyebrow at Lexi. “ he told me what happened, I told him what I’d do to him if it was my choice. But it’s not but I think it worries him”.  “ David. Wait here. Lexi with me please”. Lexi follows Vanessa out the door.

 

L” is Sarah ok?”

V”you know she’s had worse . Cuts welts on her back,sides wrists and ankles. Most likely internal bruising. Probable peeing blood for a while Doc said she’s lucky she tough. Doctor has a similar thought to you it seems as she suggested she’d be returning the favour. “” mentally I think she’s very rattled. I promised I’d keep my girls safe. “

L” did he show any signs of being a sadist?”

V” no. But what’s he saying. “

L “ short story. Lost control and panicked. But he hasn’t asked after Sarah or even apologised “

Vanessa eyes changed. Only if you knew her would you have seen it.

L” V. We beat the crap out of him. We’re be in a heap of trouble. Even under the guise of bondage. And you’re too good for that. I know you’re aware of that and believe me it took a lot to not vault the table and batter him myself. My suggestion at the minute is let him stew. Either keep him in the room for a while longer or get as much info as possible. Work, hot spots. gym. Season ticket seats. not stalk him but be visible. His free but not off the hook. Let his own mind poison him. Use his fear he mistook you for alucard. It’s the hat and the coat.” Lexi smiles at this. “ add fangs and a blonde wig and I think he’d drop dead or at least tell you anything you ask. From when he first maturbated to his account details “

“ is he a regular ? “ Vanessa nods “how about you tell him your cut him off. If he reacts begging you can run him throught the ringer. Either put him into Sarah’s shoes literally or who was the sadist at the club. The one that won’t do anything to you he hasn’t had done to him first? Or just big standard humiliation. Pink him up all hairy and coller and lead him round the dog park. “

 

 

“Maybe Sarah has some ideas herself? But we need it to be legal. Can’t have him tortured or raped. Much as that idea has crossed my mind. Even getting him to sign a contract atm he could claim duress. “ Lexi suggested. “ that’s some very good points lexi. And agreed that not much we can do to him”  “ May I talk to him again. I’ve got more questions. “ “ go ahead. Any thing you think may help sweetheart “

 

Vanessa opens the door as Lexi follows.

“ David I’m going to leave you to talk with Lexi some more. She won’t hurt you. As much as she’d like to. I trust her more than you will ever comprehend so please don’t worry about that. “ Vanessa calmly stated.

“ David I would like to hurt you. But as Vanessa says I won’t. “ Lexi responds. Vanessa nods at Lexi as she leaves.

 

“ ok David please relax. This will be easier if you’re less stressed.  Can I interest you in a tea or coffee now? “.” Coffee please “. Lexi rings for Tina. Lexi just chit chatting while she waits for the knock. “ come on in Tina. “ Tina opens the door. “Evening sweetie.  Can I have some tea and coffee please. And no wearing the tea cosy” Tina smiles at Lexi. No doubt she  will do now. Lexi thought. More chit chat as they wait for  the drinks. Tina knocks before she enters the room with the tea tray. Pot of tea for Lexi pot of coffee for David. Milk and sugar divided between them both. “ thank you Tina “

 

As they drink. Lexi starts her questioning again. “ ok David. Honestly answer please. Did you get sexually excited being the domme?”  He just nods. “ very hard?” “ like an oak beam” he answered smile wide. Proud of his errection. Typical male she thought. “ did it stay after you blanked out.?” “ it was still there when I turned the telly on. I remember knocking the remote with my stiffy “ still smiling at it.  “ this somewhat irked Lexi. “ would you consider yourself a sadist then David?” “ no why would you say that”. “ you inflicted harm on someone else and was enjoying it. I don’t really know what else to call it. Don’t be ashamed if you did. We embrace here not hide.  What you did. Tho extremely wrong aftercare. Is  liked by many. If you hadn’t panicked and buried your head in the sand I expect Sarah to have enjoyed it. “ “ really  wow. “ David gasped “ ok David some simple questions. You used lady Vanessa services before yes? For what? “. “ I like pretty and submissive trans girls so a sissy is perfect. “

“ not to spank them or anything before tonight “

“ no never”

“ are you aware of what bdsm stands for?”

“ thought it was a group term for bondage. Like trans covers a lot of ground”

“ not quite. Bondage and discipline,Sadism and masochism, in simplistic terms tiring up, control. Infecting pain and enjoying pain “

“Enjoying pain? ” he asks looking confused

“ yes some people like getting hurt, be it a smacked arse to something more in mind of medieval torture. I’m no expert not even a well versed Amature but lady Vanessa is  ”

His eyes wide as dinner plates. David looks conflicted. “ the main issue is that ALL of it is consented to. What you did to Sarah she didn’t agree to. That’s why our backs are up. Sarah hadn’t agreed to any thing  like that  had she. “ David avoids looking at Lexi “ no. “ he whispers. “ this is all about trust  and restraint David. Someone may want to be savagely beaten. But they also want to know that should they say stop you will. It’s a hell of a lot more nuanced than that and far from that black and white. But that’s the bare bones.”  .   “ im suggestion to lady Vanessa that your on  the barred list “ he looks devastated” until you have spent time with a domme learning the art. I’m sure we can connect you with someone. I have a gentleman in mind. But be warned he is a sadist but also he has had it done to himself first. And would expect the same from you. The best domme were at some point subs. They know what makes a submissive tick as they’ve Been  there.”

 

“ this in no way means you are off the hook for what you done to Sarah however. I think educating you will serve 2 purposes. 1 you won’t inflicte  the damage . Mental or physical on someone unwillingly , 2 will make you more aware of what your stepping into and I do believe forewarned is forearmed. If I had my way just bashed the shit out of you and sent you packing some other poor thing will suffer because of your ignorance and my anger . By trying to get you educated  I’m hoping you both could enjoy it “

 

“ all this being said it’s up to lady Vanessa.  She has the final say. I’m just speaking my thoughts aloud. “  a brief knock on the door. Lexi stands and answers it. Lady Vanessa standing there. “ just the person I wanted to see” “ excuse us please David. “ Lexi says as she steps into the hallway with Vanessa. Explains what she has said to David and see if she agrees. Vanessa for her part listens and smiles. “yes I agree. I think I know who your thinking off as well and I do believe Marcus would be up for it as well. Take David to your room for the rest of the night let him sleep. I only say yours as it’s the least hostile. I know it’s your sanctuary from the rest of the school but that’s my point. “ Lexi nods in agreement.  “ in the morning I’ll contact Marcus and we should be able to put it behind us “ “ how will Sarah react to it tho “ Lexi quizzically asked. “ tbh I think she likes David. And if he hadn’t panicked I think she wouldn’t have had an issue other than tell me about the bruises “ Vanessa retorts

 

Vanessa enters the room sits in her chair. Lexi sits by the door. David aware that things are changing Looks worried.  “ lady va” he starts before Vanessa waves a hand and he falls quiet. “ Lexi has told me if her idea and to be honest I think it’s a very good one. I would like you to stay with us tonight as it’s not the very early hours and I can call on my contact in the morning. I’m sure he will be excepting of the idea. The one peice of advice I will impart is trust. BDSM is not about pain or control. It’s about trust. Lexi has told you she’s not into it  yes. “ David nods “ well she also has taken a spanking from me. Ten whacks with a paddle. And they weren’t soft. In public no less to prove that she is trained. She did it with out question. Without resisting. Why because she trust me. “ Lexi in the corner shuffles as the remembered pain returns. “ so David do you except this as shall we say penance ?”

“ yes lady Vanessa. Thank you. “ David replies. “ I’m asking you to spend the rest of the night in lexis room. It’s the most. I hate to say it normal room. You will be locked in. But that is only as you are the only man on site a you can’t have free rein “ he nods in understanding. “ if you have no more questions.? “ David shakes his head” the Lexi show him to your room. And return the key to me here” “ as you wish lady Vanessa “ Lexi says as she almost curtsie. Vanessa shoots her a look. “

David if your follow me please. “

 

 

Lexi leads him through the school to her bedroom. Opens the door and ushers him In. “ please stay out of my underwear drawer. “ she says laughing” I’ll know if you wore or smelled them”  she said laughing. “ I’ll lock you in but as lady Vanessa said it’s for the girls welfare not to keep you contained, if I don’t see you in the morning. All the best of luck. And I hope to see you around if you if you do well. “ David lays on the bed as Lexi shuts the door. He hears it lock but smiles as theres a solid something between him and Lexi. She still scare him.

 

 

Lexi returns to the office knocks and waits for a reply. “ come on in sweetheart “ Lexi opens the door. And hands Vanessa the key. “ what was with the curtsie?” “ time and place V. It seemed right. “ bull .you was trying to make me laugh.” The two friends giggle at it. “ I’m rubbing off on you Lexi. Instead of revenge. You thought of a way to teach him. It will be torture for him from Marcus but the lesson will be learnt” “ you think he’ll stick it out. ? “

“ By the time he gets his head round the idea. And trust Marcus. yes. I think he will “

“ ok then V one last question. Where am I sleeping tonight. ?”

“ space in my bed lexi long as you don’t snore “

“ can’t promise that one Vanessa “
