Awkward moments in plotting.

[valarltd]

I have hit a very awkward moment in the steampunk boxing story. What DO you say when you've awakened, naked, well-fucked and chained to someone's bed? And he doesn't have the key?

"Hey handsome, round 2?"

That or "Go ask Lonnie for the Springjack. He knows how to use it and won't ask questions. He'll silently judge you, but he won't ask questions."

You probably don't or can't say anything, as you would probably be gagged as well. Not knowing exactly when nor how you might wake up, your captors would not want you able to scream, and maybe then risk you spooking their animals. Nobody should care to be thrown from or get kicked by their horse, and/or to have horses/oxen pulling their wagon(s) to suddenly bolt after being startled like that, or have dogs to start barking & making a fuss--drawing unwanted attention. Also not knowing when nor how you might wake up, your captors would not know if anybody not part of their group might be around at that time to hear & take a disturbed interest in any (unmuffled) screams you might make, which could then result in some tricky explaining and possible gunfire. All it would take is one cowboy or traveling salesman--to say nothing of possible US cavalry or lawmen on patrol--riding or walking nearby, and they'd have trouble.

You lay there, quietly taking stock of your situation & surroundings, assessing what all has been done to your body and if there is any damage. Anything torn or bleeding from use? Anything new added to your body? Tattoo? Piercing? Bruises? Cuts? Ritual markings? Feathers? Chocolate sause?

Eye up your immediate captor. Look for a possible way to free yourself. Failing that, you lay there quietly and wait for whatever comes next, as you are clearly not going anywhere and you can't do much of anything else. As a captive, and a well-fucked one at that, anything you have to say will likely be of little or no interest to your captor(s) anyways, as they clearly do not intend to let you go, else you would not be chained... and your main if not sole purpose for living right now is both pretty clear and won't require much if any talking.

(In the old west, ropes would be far more common than chains, and would have the advantage of one-size-fits-all, plus having no locks to possibly get picked, or ill-fitting fetters to slip out of.)

Save any conversation or attempts at it for when (or if) they decide to feed & water you; the best immediate indication you might have that they intend to keep you alive for a while. If you are rich, take comfort that a ransom will be demanded, so you are worth more alive than dead, and this ordeal could eventually end. If you are not rich... presume the worst and expect this to be what the remainder of your unhappy life shall be like as a sex-slave--to be kept, used, traded, sold, or disposed of as somebody else sees fit... until you might be able to escape, if that is possible.

Since your immediate captor does not appear to have the key, he is not the main shot-caller here, and so it would be wise to wait quietly anyways until said person appears to assess and/or use you (maybe again) himself. Save any words & possible negotiations for somebody who actually has the power to free you, should you be able to make that somehow appealing to him. Failing that, try to at least make yourself the shot-caller's personal sex-slave, to spare yourself the trauma of any gangbang action. One rapist is bad enough; why multiply the problem if you can make yourself exclusive to just one?

At some point, you will need to toilet. See how your captor(s) handle that, and where they have you go. Best possible chance at escape if they let you up off the bed. Bide your time. Take stock of your surroundings outside of your holding area, if they don't just hand you a chamber pot. Is escape even appealing? ...Or are you safer, for the time being, with your captor(s)?

Then it's a waiting game until you can either escape or your captors somehow get rid of you.

It's closer to the first.

He can't go anywhere. They're both locked in the wagon together.

"Sorry lad, just a chamber pot, but I'll help as ye need."

Oh nonsense. If you're gagged you can't kiss back.

Fucked, not raped. She was consenting. It's just that her bedpartner is as much a prisoner as she is. So no, no key, but he's willing to help with the chamber pot.

So there are snuggles and he feeds her breakfast in bed. And that's as far as I got yesterday.

...And all this happy, kissing, touchy-feely, consenting adult, feel-good stuff was shared with me/us WHERE exactly up in the original quiry, so that we could know this?

Knowing now what I should have been informed of then, try: "If me dear, sainted mother could see my now."

Re: The D-Man Checks In

It's in the word choice of the original query.
There is nothing to indicate jeopardy.
There is nothing to indicate lack of consent.

There is only a lack of clothing and lack of key to manacles.

Ah... Of course.
It's [all] In The Word Choice [she says].

Got it.

(*snicker*)

Only to YOU, my dear, in your life, might waking up naked, well-fucked, and chained to a bed... seem normal & consentual, with no implication of danger nor sinister doings. Why might the rest of us possibly think otherwise if this were "us" waking up in such a condition, as your question implied?

"I knew there was a reason I liked you!"

Apparently word choice is EVEYRTHING

I don't normally write something to the effect of "Suffused with a delicious languor that even her best devices, no, not even the gaslight-powered one that was modeled on the man himself--had yet to produce" when "well-fucked and naked" says it all for me.

You clearly seem to think something nefarious occurred while she was asleep and she has no memory of how she got naked or chained up or why the sheet beneath her is wet. Let me remind you, that is not "well-fucked." That is "raped while unconscious." And if I had meant that, I would have said that.

"Well fucked" is waking up with a smile on your face, a delicious renewed energy and an urge to snuggle the bed companion(s) who has rendered you so. And Chained up only means that. Nothing said she didn't put her wrists in those manacles willingly...
