- Part 5
-
- When they reached the hotel bar, they were dismayed to discover that the
- convention had fairly packed it with bodies, most dressed in some form of
- outlandish fetish costumes.
-
- "Well people," Mandy said, "it looks like we have two choices: wade into
- that lot and try to find someone who's willing to share a table, or go
- back to the room and order room service."
-
- "I vote for room service," commented Jason, looking at the crowd with a
- little distaste, "I mean, this place is WEDGED."
-
- "Well I vote we wade in," Flora put in, "I LIKE crowds... but then you
- knew that."
-
- "Yeah, we know," Jason shot back sarcastically, "after all, you might get
- lucky and get felt up." He grinned to take the edge off his words.
-
- Flora made an abortive attempt to pinch him and replied, "Look asshole,
- just because you..."
-
- "That's enough, you two," interrupted Mandy, "remember, this isn't a
- democracy. Since you sluts can't behave maturely, I withdraw the option.
- We go in."
-
- "Yes, Ma'am," the two replied in unison, looking somewhat less than
- subdued, and happily making childish faces at each other behind Mandy's
- back.
-
- Mandy tapped a man wearing a tutu on the shoulder and motioned for him
- to step aside. After turning to look at her, he lowered his gaze and
- complied, and the three of them pressed into the crowd, Flora and Jason
- following her lead.
-
- After prowling through the masses for what seemed like 15 minutes, Mandy
- stopped in frustration. She looked around their position, and seemed to
- pick a table at random. It was a small cocktail table with two stools,
- both occupied by a young single couple. Mandy moved closer.
-
- "Excuse me," Mandy said to the woman, "would you mind if we share your
- table- it's awfully crowded in here."
-
- The woman looked the three of them up and down slowly before replying.
- She smiled.
-
- "Not at all. Here, you can take Jerry's chair." She gave a look to
- Jerry, who promptly vacated his stool. "I'm Billy, and this is Jerrold."
- Billy was a big woman, her cleavage practically bursting out of her vinyl
- dress, and her rear overflowing the bar stool in several places. Her
- accent was distinctly British, although Mandy hadn't the faintest idea
- how to tell what part of the country she was from.
-
- "Just Jerry is fine," Jerrold added. While also British, his accent was
- distinctly different, somehow sounding more aristocratic to Mandy's ears.
- He was tall and thin, with a somewhat hollow face and thinning brown
- hair.
-
- "Pleased to meet you, Just Jerry... Billy" Mandy answered, "This is
- Flora, and Jason, and I'm Mandy." They shook hands all around.
-
- "I'm afraid they're terribly shorthanded, so drinks are going to take a
- while," Billy said. She seemed to be examining Flora's cleavage, or at
- least her purple patent jacket.
-
- "You'd think they would bring in extra help for a convention," Jason
- commented, just to be saying something.
-
- They continued to make small talk until a cocktail waitress arrived. She
- seemed to be in support of the convention, since she wore a large button
- that read, "SPANNER SUCKS".
-
- "So," Billy started in, after the drinks had been ordered, "what brings
- you Yanks to England?" She had a slightly loud, flamboyant manner, which
- Jason had at first taken to be one drink too many. Now he saw that that
- was just the way she was.
-
- "Really, it was the convention that gave us the excuse," Mandy replied,
- "but I was ready for a vacation anyway. We ah, had a bit too much
- excitement around the old homestead lately, and it seemed like it might
- be a good break for all of us."
-
- "Hah! I smell a story!" bellowed Billy, while heads turned in the bar,
- somewhat to Jason's chagrin. He glanced at Flora, and found her staring
- in rapt fascination at Billy. Obviously, she wasn't put off by the
- boisterous woman's style at all. But then, he reminded himself, she IS a
- bit of an exhibitionist herself- she looks like she's enjoying this. He
- noticed too, that Mandy and Billy were doing all the talking, and that
- Jerry, like Jason and Flora, seemed to be waiting for something to come
- out of the conversation between the two dominants, like dogs under a
- table waiting for a scrap to be dropped.
-
- "It's a private matter, actually," Mandy said steadily, quietly, staring
- directly into Billy's eyes.
-
- "Hey! No worries! We can swap war-stories later. And..."
-
- At that point their drinks arrived. Billy had ordered what was
- nominally a BoilerMaker, except she specified Glennfiddich single malt
- scotch and Guiness, instead of the usual beer and bar whiskey.
- Jason winced at the abuse of fine scotch.
-
- Mandy bought the round, while Billy flirted with the waitress,
- succeeding in flustering her considerably before she headed for another
- table. Jason resolved to tip her heavily.
-
- "Listen, there's a little get together in our room tonight," Billy
- confided, in a conspiratorial tone. "We've arranged for Miss Kat, the
- designer- she's from Germany you know- to use our rooms for a little
- show. Strictly invitation only, of course."
-
- "We'd be delighted," Mandy replied softly, still looking directly back
- into Billy's eyes.
-
- "But I thought," started Jason, thinking of their plans.
-
- "We'd be delighted," Mandy said again, the faintest hint of steel
- audible in her voice. She didn't turn to look at him, but she didn't
- have to. Jason shut up fast, deciding that submission was the
- better part of valor.
-
- Billy looked around the table, before settling her eyes nervously back
- on Mandy's face. "Nine sharp, room 1104," she added. Somehow, her
- expression wasn't quite as confident or masterful now, as when she had
- invited them to sit down.
-
- The conversation turned to clothing, and bondage gear, and other
- pleasantries, staying light and friendly, but Jason could feel that
- something had passed between Mandy and Billy, something he couldn't quite
- put his finger on. He knew that a contest had been won, and that it was
- Mandy that had won it, but he wasn't quite certain what it was about, or
- even whether it mattered.
-
- Eventually, Mandy excused them from the table, and as if by coincidence,
- Billy and Jerry discovered that they too, had to leave. The party broke
- up as quickly as it had formed. On the way back to their rooms, Jason
- broke his silence. "So, what was _that_ all about?"
-
- Mandy had a faintly amused grin on her face. "Oh, just a question of
- style," she answered.
-
- Despite his prodding, she would go no further, instead quizzing him and
- Flora on what they had seen around the convention so far, and what had
- impressed them the most.
-
-
- -=<O>=-
-
- "Well, what would we have done anyway?" Mandy fumed, as Jason unlocked
- the door to their room.
-
- "Get real," shot back Jason, "it's Saturday night, half the fetish clubs
- in England are within a mile of here, and most of the convention will be
- going out and partying like Roman emperors!"
-
- "Jason." Mandy spoke the word quietly, patiently. She had suddenly
- become very calm, and he knew that he had stepped over a line.
-
- "Jason," she continued, "have you ever known me to top you or Flora in
- matters of our everyday lives?"
-
- "Well as a matter of fact... Okay, not really, but I,"
-
- "And do you think I would insist that we go to this party without a
- good reason?"
-
- "Well no, but,"
-
- "Then stop arguing. But me no buts. Cease and desist. I've heard some
- rumors about what Miss Kat has been working on, and while I can't figure
- out why she would be associating with those losers we met in the bar, I do
- know that this party will be showing off something you've never seen
- before."
-
- "Well... hell. Alright," Jason acquiesced, silently wishing his Mistress
- wouldn't be so damned reasonable.
-
- -=<O>=-
-
- For the party, they all agreed that making a lasting impression was
- called for, so each dug into their baggage for their best fetish finery.
- Jason donned something a little uncharacteristic for him: a body harness
- they had used for suspension, with a codpiece, a pair of engineer's boots,
- and a smile. The workouts he had been enduring with Flora, who was a bit
- of a fitness nut had been paying off, he noticed. The spare tire he had
- been developing had almost disappeared.
-
- Flora, on the other hand, dressed more flamboyantly. The new fluorescent
- green stockings were immediately vetoed by Mandy, so she gave up on the
- idea of dressing loud, and instead dressed sexy. Her transparent amber
- latex catsuit left very little to the imagination, including her bald
- head which was plainly visible through the hood. Like most of her
- outfits, it fit like a second skin, even at the bust, where molded breast
- cups "lifted and separated" as well as any Maidenform could.
-
- "Hey, I remember that," commented Jason, throwing in a wolf whistle for
- emphasis. "But I thought you were shy about your head," he added.
-
- "I was- I'm getting over it. You know how much of an exhibitionist I've
- become. I finally decided that shocking people is more fun than being
- shy and hung up about it. Besides, I've been hairless for what... three
- years now?"
-
- The only other adornment Flora wore with the suit was her locking heels-
- black patent opera pumps with six inch stilettos.
-
- Mandy, on the other hand, seemed to be opting for a more refined look.
- Her black and white diamond pattern dress was crafted from soft kid
- leather, and tailored for a close fit over her corset. Thigh high white
- patent stiletto heeled boots completed her ensemble, and a riding crop
- added a badge of authority without overstating things.
-
- "Well, how do I look?" Mandy asked.
-
- After making the appropriate appreciative noises, Flora and Jason were
- turned round for inspection, and the three headed for the eleventh
- floor.
-
- If the eleventh floor wasn't quite the penthouse, it was certainly
- luxurious enough. While they looked for Billy's suite, it was obvious
- that something was going on, as another couple exited the other elevator,
- dressed in dramatic matching black and silver leather suits.
-
- They didn't have time to even check the directory numbers on the wall
- however, as the booming voice of their host was heard the length of the
- hallway, greeting other guests. Billy greeted them at the door.
-
- "Mandy! So glad you could make it!" She swept her gaze over Flora and
- Jason without actually acknowledging them, and herded them all into the
- main room. Jerry was serving drinks in a vinyl or perhaps patent leather
- maid's uniform, although with his mustache, he had little chance of
- passing for a woman. Besides, his face was devoid of makeup, and it
- looked as if someone had plopped his somewhat unkempt wig on as an
- afterthought.
-
- Jason inspected the room, sampling a few canapes in the process. A
- small dais had been set up at one end of the room. He noticed that the
- air was somewhat chilly too, and commented on it.
-
- "Yep! Sure is!" Billy expounded at top volume, although the background
- music from a portable stereo wasn't that difficult to talk over. When she
- spoke, lungs heaving, her more than ample figure bounced within a tight
- rubber sheath dress that looked as if it might explode at any moment.
- "Gonna stay that way too- it's for our little demonstration."
-
- "Might one inquire what we'll be seeing?" asked Mandy drily.
-
- "One might," shot back Billy, "and you might even get an answer. Then
- again, you might not! Hah! But seriously, this is sort of our unveiling.
- Jerry, my slave you know, is a chemical engineer, works in the rubber
- industry. Been a rubber nut since he was a kid. He's cooked up some new
- materials, and when we met Miss Kat at the Eccentric Fashion Show, she
- just had to make some things out of them. Wait till you see this- every
- rubber and bondage fetishist in the world is gonna want what we've got!
- Too bad it's so damned expensive to make, though. We're gonna have to
- charge an arm and a leg for it."
-
- The door to the other rooms of the suite opened, and the elfin face of
- Miss Kat appeared momentarily, catching Billy's eye. She nodded, walked
- over and chatted with her for a moment, then Miss Kat disappeared again.
- Mandy, Flora and Jason wondered in that direction, but at that point Billy
- hopped up on the dais, momentarily endangering the tortured seams of her
- dress again, and yelled for silence.
-
- "ALRIGHT, LISTEN UP! Alright, everybody, this is the moment you've all
- been waiting for. What we're going to show off tonight is just a few
- prototypes that Miss Kat has been working on, made from a new uh,
- e-lass-toe-mer," she enunciated the word with care, and Jason
- realized she hadn't stopped drinking after they'd left the bar.
- "That's it, elastomer, that my husband has been working on. Wave to
- everyone, Jerry!"
-
- Jerry, looking decidedly self-conscious in his maid's uniform, waved
- timidly from one corner of the room, a tray of hors de'oeuvres balanced
- on one gloved hand.
-
- "I'm sorry about the temperature in here folks, but the reason will be
- revealed momentarily. And now..." she paused, probably imagining that
- she was being dramatic, "I give you..." another embarrassing pause,
- "MISS KAT!"
-
- The door closest to the dais, and not far from where Jason stood, opened,
- and the well-known figure of Miss Kat appeared, smiling demurely, and
- leading two figures by leashes. Jason was startled to see that she looked
- much smaller in real life than in her advertisements. A draft of very
- warm air came from the other room, and he imagined it must have been
- sweltering for the two rubber-dressed models to dress or wait around in
- there.
-
- Despite their fetishistic apparel, the two models' appearance was hardly
- unusual, at least for this convention, and Jason leaned closer to get a
- better look. Admittedly, the garments were polished to a very high gloss,
- but that was hardly unique. He wondered what he and the assembled guests
- were supposed to get excited over.
-
- The female was dressed in rubber thigh boots with only moderately high
- heels, shoulder length gloves, and a long victorian-pattern corset-dress,
- with undersized holes where her breasts protruded through. The only thing
- striking about her that Jason could see was her unusually small waist, but
- even hers paled in comparison to some of the corseted waists he had seen
- this weekend.
-
- The other, a male, was dressed in a simple catsuit, with attached gloves
- and feet, and no hood. Both outfits were jet black, and the only feature
- of note was that both appeared to be made from very thick rubber, judging
- from the way it flexed as they moved.
-
- Miss Kat led them up onto the dais, positioning them front and center.
- She fiddled at their feet for some time, and Jason saw that she was
- strapping their feet to a pair of wide fixtures sitting on the dais.
- She had the woman put her arms behind her and chest thrust forward, in a
- comic imitation of parade rest position, and positioned the man with arms
- raised, in a standing spread eagle position, before she turned and finally
- addressed the gathering.
-
- "Thank you all for coming." Her first words startled Jason with their
- soft modulation and melodic accent. He realized why people were so taken
- with her after meeting her.
-
- "Tonight is a kind of premier party I suppose, for my new line of rubber
- bondage clothing. What you are looking at is not latex, nor is it any
- other type of rubber you are familiar with. Our friend Jerry over there
- has designed a new alloy of synthetic rubber and a low-melting point
- plastic. Jerry calls it Vinylite. His employers could see no use for it's
- properties, but he did, and when they granted him the patent, he brought
- it to me. What you see before you is the result of our collaboration."
-
- She turned, and walking behind the female, caressing the young woman's
- hip with one gloved hand as she passed.
-
- "You all saw my models walk up here. You saw how natural this material
- looked, how it stretched and moved, yes? Now, observe."
-
- She reached out to borrow a cane from one bystander, who surrendered it
- with curious enthusiasm. Then she whirled, and brought the stout rod down
- hard on the booted leg of the woman. A collective gasp was heard from
- the crowd, since a blow like that from a solid rattan cane could break
- bones, but a stunned silence soon stole over the room, as the truth
- dawned on the assembly. The sound that had come from the blow was not
- the meaty slap that was expected, but a hollow knock. Nor did the model's
- amused smile waver for even a moment. From there on, Miss Kat proceeded
- to rain blows over all the "rubber" surfaces on her models, eliciting the
- same solid *tok* from every blow. The gloves, the boots, the corselet,
- and the suit were now as rigid as if cast from hard plastic.
-
- "Vinylite, ladies and gentlemen," announced Miss Kat to a hushed crowd,
- "this material softens and becomes stretchy and pliable above about thirty
- two degrees Celsius, or about ninety degrees Fahrenheit. Lower the
- temperature only five degrees or more, and it becomes quite rigid and
- hard, as you can see. My poor girl here can still bend at her bare waist,
- which might be convenient, but she can no longer extract her arms from
- their position behind her back, or bend her legs or her torso, leaving her
- quite helpless... and her front free for me to play with." Here, she
- tweaked a nipple, finally eliciting a flinch on her model's face.
-
- "...and this poor man over here," she went on, "is entirely encased, so
- he is just plain stuck in that position for the duration." She smacked
- him on the fanny, and Jason was glad the two were fastened to the stage,
- since otherwise the man would have toppled forward into the guests.
-
- "I should add too, that no polish or cleaner is required. The shine
- that you see here is entirely a property of the material, and is renewed
- whenever the garment is softened. Now then, I'll be happy to entertain
- any questions..."
-
- The crowd was silent for several seconds while the impact of what they
- had seen sank in. Then Jason was startled to hear Flora's voice speak
- up.
-
- "Yes. I was wondering, is this... Vinylite when it's soft, I mean, is
- it as stretchy as rubber? I mean, does it have the same ahh..."
-
- "Elasticity?" finished Miss Kat for her. Flora nodded.
-
- "Almost. It won't stretch quite as far as natural latex, but it has
- almost the same feel, in terms of initial stretch, and it's tensile
- strength is much higher."
-
- "What about cost?" a tall redhead in green leather wanted to know.
-
- "The cost is high," Miss Kat replied, "as you might expect for an exotic
- material like this. About two and a half times the cost of natural latex.
- This is due to the laborious manufacturing methods we have had to use up
- to now. We hope to have a large manufacturer start making it for us in
- about a year, and after that, the price should drop."
-
- "Will you be selling the plain material, or just finished articles?"
- asked another.
-
- "For now, we will only sell completed articles. When we get a larger
- production run, we may sell the raw sheet. That won't be for at least
- a year."
-
- Several more questions were asked and answered, but slowly, the party
- fell back into it's previous stand-around-and-chat mode, and shortly,
- Jason found himself at the edge of a conversation among Miss Kat, Billy,
- and Mandy, who was apparently setting up a demonstration for Flora.
-
- He tagged along when they had worked it out, and the three of them
- followed Miss Kat into the adjoining room. The heat had been turned off,
- and the air-conditioning was struggling along, but the room was still
- uncomfortably warm. Miss Kat showed them a large wardrobe of Vinylite
- clothing and bondage gear, hanging from clip hangers on an impromptu
- display assembled from four bellman's carts.
-
- "This is what we've made so far," she said.
-
- "You've been busy," Mandy observed. "Didn't you say you'd only started
- making it two months ago?"
-
- "Yes. Jerry has been working himself to death keeping up with me and
- the shop- we've all been very busy- we wanted to have plenty of things
- ready for this convention."
-
- Mandy flipped casually through the garments, the hard plastic-like
- material, rattling like bamboo wind chimes. It was hard for Jason to tell
- what some of the articles were, since it was impossible to straighten
- them or unfold them, now that the room had cooled off. Most of the pieces
- appeared to be suits, both full-body catsuits or upper body binders, like
- straight jackets.
-
- Mandy looked very interested, despite the somewhat confusing array of
- misshapen objects.
-
- "Do you have anything like a woman's full body catsuit, but with cutouts
- for both the breasts and crotch?"
-
- "Actually yes, I believe I have two of them," Miss Kat answered. "The
- cutouts are fairly standard, since we expect most people to use these
- garments for bondage, and it's always nice to be able to access the more
- sensitive parts of one's slave." She fumbled through the articles on
- another rack.
-
- "And this is for her?" she asked, gesturing at Flora.
-
- "Yes. She's a fairly standard size 10, except through the chest."
-
- "Excellent. And of course, the bust is not a problem, since they won't
- be inside the garment. Ah, here we are! I think this is the one."
-
- She hefted a suit from the rack, removed it from the hanger clips, and
- carried it, like a carpenter carrying a board, across the room.
-
- "If you'll follow me?"
-
- Without waiting for a reply, she walked into the bathroom. Mandy, Jason,
- and a somewhat reluctant Flora followed. Miss Kat ran hot water over the
- neck of the suit, and when it softened, pulled back the collar to look
- inside.
-
- "Yes, this should fit, I think. Would you care to try it on?" she asked
- Flora.
-
- Flora blushed, and glanced at Mandy, who merely raised one eyebrow.
-
- Flora looked back at Miss Kat and nodded.
-
- "How," began Jason, and then silenced as he saw what Miss Kat had in
- mind.
-
- She opened the shower door, saying, "We have found that a convenient way
- of donning these garments is in the shower. Just take it in with you,
- run the water as hot as you can stand it, and soften the suit under the
- spray. You will have to keep all of it warm while you are putting it on,
- so I recommend using the heater as well." Here she flipped the light
- switch that turned on the heat lamp in the ceiling. Jason reflected that
- at Mandy's house at least, this wouldn't be necessary. Not only did they
- have a sauna that doubled as a steam room, Mandy had had a fancy Kohler
- shower/sauna/jacuzzi unit installed in her master bath.
-
- Flora accepted the suit from Miss Kat, and looked startled.
-
- "God, it's so heavy!"
-
- "Yes," the designer replied, "we have to make the material very thick to
- be sure it is strong enough. Otherwise, a strong person could break it
- when it is in the hardened state. Why don't go ahead and get it on, and
- we'll wait outside."
-
- Jason was glad to get out of the bathroom, as the heat lamp was already
- making it uncomfortable. The outer room had returned to a reasonable
- temperature, and Jason silently thanked the engineer who had specified
- the air conditioning for these rooms.
-
- Shortly, they heard the shower start, and they sat down, taking the
- drinks Miss Kat offered them, and making small talk. At one point,
- Jerry came in and passed around a tray of crab meat canapes, and then
- scurried out again when Billy bellowed for him from the other room.
-
- Eventually, the running water stopped. This seemed to be a signal for
- all conversation to stop. The three waited, Miss Kat patiently, Mandy and
- Jason rather more breathlessly.
-
- Finally, the door opened. Flora came out amid a cloud of steam, her face
- slightly flushed, and water streaming from her shiny black body.
-
- "I tried drying off," she said, "but the towel dulled the finish, so I
- gave up. Wow, this is like wearing liquid armor! And it really holds
- the heat- you could lose weight wearing this."
-
- The gleaming black suit fit her body as if it had been molded for her
- alone, every shining curve picking up highlights from the lamps in the
- room. The only bare skin visible was her face, in the cutout of the hood,
- and her breasts, jutting out comically from the two holes in the chest of
- the suit.
-
- "Walk around a bit," suggested Miss Kat.
-
- "And tell me how it feels," added Mandy.
-
- Flora paced along the room, stopping in front of them for a slow
- pirouette, showing off her delicious curves.
-
- "It feels," she started, "um, well, now it feels kind of stiff. When it
- was hotter, it was just like one of my thick rubber suits, only much
- heavier, more restrictive. A little harder to move around in. Miss Kat
- was right, it does stretch an amazing amount for as thick as it is."
-
- She stopped and moved her arms around experimentally.
-
- "It's getting difficult to move, I think it's cooling off." They could
- plainly see the extra exertion in her face as she walked stiffly back
- toward the couch where they sat.
-
- "Umm, it's really getting hard to move," she continued. "I think, ahh,
- what position would you like me in, ma'am?" she looked at Mandy, her
- eyes aflame. She obviously getting turned on by the increasingly
- restrictive suit.
-
- "Walk over to the wall there," Mandy ordered. "Right. Now turn around,
- face the wall, and lean against it." Flora obliged.
-
- "Um, Mandy, I don't think I'm going to be able to move much longer,"
- Flora said.
-
- "That's fine- that's just how I want you." Mandy walked up to her and
- felt Flora's ass and back.
-
- "Incredible, fucking incredible" she murmured. She moved her hands over
- Flora's helmet-encased head, her shoulders, her hips.
-
- "You like it," observed Jason.
-
- "Like it?" Mandy shot back, "I fuckin' _love_ it!"
-
- That much is obvious, Jason thought. Mandy rarely swore. The exceptions
- seemed to be when she was particularly angry or particularly aroused.
-
- "Mmm, this is very, very nice," put in Flora. "Ahh, I guess it's about
- has hard as it's going to get, 'cause I can't move any more."
-
- "Try hard," Mandy said.
-
- "MMPH! Wow, um, nope- I'm, ahh, no, I'm really stuck." Jason recognized
- the sounds of lust in Flora's voice.
-
- "Good," was Mandy's only reply. She opened her purse and withdrew a
- bundle of black rubber. The pump gag went into Flora's mouth, the strap
- around her rigid head.
-
- Then, "Jason, would you be so kind as to fetch the TENS kit from our
- room?"
-
- "MMMMPH!" Flora said. The shining, rigid black suit enveloping her
- body moved not at all.
