The Arrangement [Box Set] (35 page)

—Kit, April said. They’ve got nothing to do with this.

—You should have thought about that before you dragged them into it, shouldn’t you? Kit said. Those two aren’t going to live long, and they’ll have you to blame.

April began to weep. She knew that whatever happened to Jack and Jimmy would be on her conscience for ever.

XI

A
PRIL’S CLUTCH ON HER CHILDREN
tightened when Kit began to make her way across the room.

—It’s no use resisting, April. In a few years these girls will love me more than they ever loved you. I doubt they’ll even remember your name.

Kit had a cruel leer on her face.

—I won’t let you take them from me again, Kit. Wherever you’re taking them, I’m going too.

—Now, now, April. Don’t make a scene.

Kit motioned to one of the guards and he came over with his gun. As soon as he laid his hand on Mary’s arm April began to panic.

—No, she said. You can’t take her. Please!

Mary and Lucy were both crying and clinging to their mother. April was holding them in her arms as tightly as she could but it was all pointless. The guard had his gun out and April could see that he was pointing it not at her, but at Lucy’s beautiful blonde head.

—How could you? she said to Kit in utter disbelief as she released her grip on the children. How can you do this to another woman? It’s not right.

The two girls clung to her but she felt her muscles slacken as she gave them up. There was no way she could cling to them with a man pointing a gun at them.

—Where are you taking them? She said to Kit as the guards gathered them up and began to drag them from the room.

The girls were screaming for their mother and it made April’s heart break to listen to them.

—Don’t you worry about them, Kit said. I’m going to take good care of them. They’re barely going to remember any of this in a few years. You’ll see. They’ll be perfect children and they’ll be a credit to me and Herb.

—You can’t just steal someone else’s babies, Kit.

—Oh, April. So naive. Just watch me.

April was shaking her head. She couldn’t understand what made a woman like Kit tick. It made no sense to her at all. Why would anyone want to steal another person’s children? Why would they wish to inflict so much suffering on another human being?

—Why, Kit? she said.

There was just one other guard with them in the room now, standing by the door with his hand on the gun at his hip.

—What do you think it’s like to be me, April? Kit asked.

April didn’t care what it was like to be Kit. She just wanted a chance to live her own life peacefully, with her own children, and she wasn’t interested in getting inside this woman’s head. She shook her head but Kit continued.

—You see, April. I have everything. Don’t I? Money, power, beauty, sex. What more could someone like me possibly crave?

—I don’t know, April said.

—I want what you have, April. That’s what I want. I want to take your life away from you. I want all the things you hold dear. I want to possess you, I want to own you, I want to own your family. I want to own your very existence.

—What do you mean?

Kit let an ugly smile cross her thin lips.

—You’ll learn, she said.

The guard who had escorted Jack and Jimmy away returned. Kit nodded at him and he came over to April and took her shirt in his hands and pulled it off her. She hadn’t been wearing a bra and her breasts were exposed.

April knew what was coming. Kit meant to completely dominate her, body and soul, and she was going to start with sexual domination. She hardly cared anymore. It seemed everything she had seen and experienced in the past few weeks, ever since coming to The Oaks, had been focused entirely on possessing and dominating her. It was no longer new or shocking. It was just the way things had been, and now it seemed, it was the way things would always be.

—What have you done with my friends? she said to the guard.

Kit answered for him.

—Don’t worry about your friends, dear. If you really cared about them you would have thought of their safety before you brought them into this. This is my domain, you are my property, your life is mine, and I’m a very private person. I’m not going to allow those two to get away and tell the world they’ve seen.

—What do you mean?

—They’re going to have to disappear, child.

—Disappear?

April’s mind reeled as she struggled to comprehend the enormity of the situation. Jack and Jimmy were going to be killed. And it was because of her that it was all going to happen. Everything she’d tried had been for nothing.

The guard removed her shoes and pulled down her sweat pants. She wasn’t even wearing any underwear. She hadn’t had any back at Jack’s and she’d refused to wear the corset and garters she’d brought from the hotel. It seemed like a lifetime ago that she had showered and dressed at Jack’s apartment. It had only been that morning. For a brief time she’d felt free. She’d seen what it would be like to be another person, to live a life with a good man like Jack and not have to worry about the pressures and perversions of a life within the arrangement. She should have known it was too good to last. She should have run. But how could she when her children were here, with these people? She’d allowed her children to be taken from her once before and she was paying for it now. But at least she hadn’t abandoned them completely, she thought. She’d come back for them and they would always remember that. They would remember, wouldn’t they? Kit said they’d forget all about her but she knew people’s memories were less fickle than that. They would remember their mother and they would remember that she had come back for them, even if it had cost her everything.

She was completely naked at this point, utterly defeated. Kit had won on every front. Her friends were locked up, probably going to be shot if she could believe what Kit told her. Her children were locked away somewhere, she might not even be allowed to see them again. And Kit had her in the only position she seemed to be any good for, naked on a bed.

The guard who had taken the girls away had returned now too, leaving her alone in the room with Kit and three armed, uniformed guards. As all of her hope slipped away like an evening sun slipping beneath the horizon, she decided to surrender herself to whatever Kit had in store for her. If there was one thing she had learned it was that resistance really was futile. She had been crazy to think someone like her, someone who came from nothing, who had grown up in motels and boarding houses, could stand up against someone as powerful and determined as Kit Kingsley. Why fight what you cannot defeat?

Kit was looking at her now, smiling evilly as if reading her mind. It was as if she could see April surrender before her eyes and she approved of it. What Kit wanted was to dominate, to exert her will over the will of another. She wanted to dominate the weakness that was April’s will and completely break it. That was the drug that Kit was addicted to. By now, April was letting her own thoughts and her own will dissolve, but dimly she became aware of what made Kit tick. Kit wanted to dominate her like slave owners had dominated their slaves in the past, like queens had dominated their subjects, like the powerful would ever dominate the weak.

—Get on the floor, Kit said.

Her voice was harsh and cruel.

Naked and utterly overcome by the power that she faced, April’s only option was to comply. She got off the bed and onto the floor and remained there, on her hands and knees, like a meek dog.

—Come over here and lick my hand, Kit said.

April made to get up but Kit said, —No! Crawl.

April looked at the three guards who were watching this demonstration of Kit’s power with a lustful greed. She crawled toward Kit and Kit held out her hand in front of her. When April reached it she began to lick the hand as if she really was Kit’s dog.

—That’s it, Kit said, satisfied with April’s compliance.

Kit began to move her hand toward her crotch and April didn’t have to think very hard to see where this was going. Kit was wearing a long skirt that went down to her ankles and as April continued licking the horrible woman’s tired, old hand, Kit began to hike the long skirt up to her waist, revealing a pair of cotton panties. As Kit moved her hand toward the panties, April was forced to follow until she was right up against Kit’s crotch. Kit then put her hand on the panties, so that April was licking the hand and also the dry, white cotton.

Kit then let the long skirt fall back down over April. April was now inside the skirt, and something about being under that skirt made her feel smaller and more humiliated than anything that Kit had ever done previously. She knew what Kit expected of her and she no longer had the will to resist. She began licking the soft, white flesh on the inside of Kit’s thighs before gradually moving upward toward the white panties. She licked at the edge of the panties, where the elasticated seam met Kit’s leg, pushing her tongue against the elastic and trying to get her tongue inside. She thought she would be able to move the panties aside with her tongue and get to Kit’s vagina but she wasn’t able. She didn’t think she was allowed to use her hands so she stopped trying to get inside with her tongue and began licking the front of the cotton, probing at the soft flesh beneath the thin layer of fabric. She could make out the indentation of Kit’s vaginal lips through the panty and pressed her tongue against them, trying to stimulate them through the cotton. The fabric was dry against her tongue and instead of licking it she tried to apply pressure to Kit’s pussy gently, pushing her tongue into the soft mound rather than licking up and down like she usually would.

She felt Kit’s legs tighten on her head and then the skirt came up. She stopped what she was doing to look around the room. The guards were all looking at her and all three of them had opened their flies and were rubbing their erect cocks with their hands. They were obviously Kit’s personal entourage and were well accustomed to her sexual exploits. They’d probably seen a lot of crazy things since working for her and it seemed Kit got a big kick out of showing off to them.

—Go on, puppy, Kit said. Get up on the bed.

April crawled over to the bed and got up on it. Kit followed her over, pushing her on the bum with her foot.

—Get up there, puppy, Kit said, almost making April lose her balance as she was pushed forward by Kit’s foot.

April was on the bed on her hands and knees and she was surprised when Kit got up on the bed too and pulled her skirt up and her panties off. She flung the panties at one of the guards and they landed on his shoulder. The guard ignored them, leaving them on his shoulder as he continued to gently stroke his erect cock. The three guards seemed to have no shame at all and were perfectly content to stand in their uniforms and masturbate, enjoying whatever show Kit was in the mood to give them.

Kit got up on her hands and knees in front of April, forcing her butt into April’s face.

April was utterly humiliated as Kit smiled at her guards and said, —Watch what my naughty puppy likes to do, boys.

Kit was wiggling her bum in front of April’s face obscenely, and April tentatively touched with her tongue the pink little circle of muscle that formed Kit’s anus.

—That’s right, puppy, Kit said.

April continued to lick the anus, pushing her tongue against the muscle, trying to get her tongue inside the tight ring. Kit began to moan in pleasure. April let her tongue move down from the anus toward the lower end of Kit’s cunt but Kit kicked backward at her, hitting her painfully on the leg with the heel of her shoe. April immediately went back to the anus, playing with the ring of muscle as much as she could. While pushing her face in between Kit’s butt cheeks, her face got completely wet with her own saliva. She wasn’t even sure anymore if she was crying or not, her face was so wet, but she thought she was.

—That feels so good, puppy. Don’t stop.

April’s tongue began to ache with all the effort she was putting into it but she continued to push its tip into Kit’s anus, licking incessantly at the wiggling bum, listening to Kit’s taunts.

—How about some pictures, Mark? Kit said.

One of the guards left and came back with a camera and started to take pictures of April as she ate Kit’s bum.

—Alright, Kit said at last. On your back.

April wondered what Kit had in mind as she lay down on her back and looked up at the ceiling. Kit threw a leg over April’s face and sat down, facing the room, with her vagina directly on April’s mouth. April’s body was stretched out behind Kit.

—Eat, puppy, Kit said.

Kit squirmed on April’s face, grinding her cunt all over her face, soaking her with her dripping liquid and April didn’t know anymore if it was her own saliva or juice from Kit’s pussy that was covering her mouth. She moaned as she struggled for breath but Kit took no notice. If anything she forced herself harder down on April’s face.

—Ok, boys, Kit said. Come on over here. Kiss me.

The three guards, with their cocks in their hands, came over and leaned over April’s face and began kissing Kit on the mouth. From where she was, April had a view up their uniformed bodies to see that one of the guards was passionately kissing Kit’s mouth while another was sucking on her neck and a third was delicately licking one of her breasts. Kit was getting all that attention and pleasure from them while April was doing all the work, licking the cunt, pushing her tongue as far inside Kit’s pussy as it could possibly go.

—That’s right, my lovely boys, Kit was saying to the guards. Love me. Love me.

They continued to kiss Kit passionately and April watched as Kit reached out and took their cocks, one at a time, and began to rub them against April’s face. April was in the perfect position to be abused in this way, her head under Kit’s cunt at the same height as the men’s crotches. She continued sucking on the soft flesh around Kit’s pussy but she noticed that Kit was raising her body up off her face, just an inch or two, so that the guards could rub their aching, throbbing cocks against her mouth and face more easily.
