Bill took a sip from his coffee and looked around the control room. Dan was making sure all the camera feeds were coming in cleanly. Lisa stood next to him, awaiting orders. He could do with a blow job, but there was no time for that right now. Today's episode of Fight For Freedom had four couples on it, and was going to be one of the most challenging yet.
The shows was eight episodes into its first "season" and gaining popularity among the underground scene. They were making enough money off the streaming alone to cover the costs of making it; the proceeds of the sales were pure profit.
He slid his hand up the inside of Lisa's thigh, and she shivered a bit as he reached under her tiny skirt. Her legs were slightly parted, but just slightly, and he ran his fingers up to just millimeters away from her bare crotch before sliding them back down. She whimpered through her gag, and he smiled. She'd been a loser on the first show, and he'd decided to buy her, captivated by her blue eyes and long, flowing blonde hair. Now she was his slave and administrative assistant, and he knew he'd gotten an incredible deal. She was a natural submissive, and had taken to slavery like a fish to water. Tonight she was wearing a tight blue halter top, held out by her perfectly-palm-sized breasts, a blue microskirt, and blue heels. And, of course, the steel collar riveted around her neck, the handcuffs holding her wrists together in front of her, the leg irons keeping her from taking long strides, and the blue ball gag in her mouth. After the last slave was sold tonight, he'd celebrate by bending her over the console.
But that was a while off still. He looked over at the monitor from camera 3, a wide view on the stage. All four couples were in place now, while techs moved between them, touching up make-up and making sure they'd all perform appropriately. The men all received little blue pills to make sure they were hard for the duration, while the women received a female equivalent that would have them all juiced up by the time their panties came off. As he watched, the techs moved back from each couple and waved down the giant boxes that covered the couples.
"What's our opening shot?" Dan asked, looking at the monitors.
"Catalina," Bill said without even thinking about it. She'd been the hostess for the whole season, and was hugely popular. The biggest request they'd gotten was to sell her off as well, and he couldn't say he hadn't considered it. Still, it was unwise in this line of work to sell off your employees without a damn good reason. It made it harder to find good people to work for you.
"Obviously," Dan said, rolling his eyes. "More detail?"
"Oh, right. Um. Start with a neck-to-waist view, then pull back. Camera...2, I think."
"Got it." Dan spoke into his headset.
#####
"Camera 2, you're on opening," Dan's voice came over Sam's radio headset. "Neck to waist, then pull back for full-body."
"Got it," Sam said, lining up her camera to Catalina's mark. The opening shot was always on the hostess. Sam wished she had a body like that. Then again, around these folks, that might not be a good thing. Sam had seen entirely too many attractive young women sold off to unknown fates to want to join the people on stage.
"We're on in three," Bill's voice came out over the stage speakers. "Catalina, to your mark."
Catalina jiggled across the stage, as quickly as she could in her high-heeled boots and tight skirt. Sam set up the camera to show the upper half of Catalina's body, and heard Dan say, "Camera 2, perfect. Lighting, let's get just a little bit more on the hostess."
The lighting intensified a bit, shining just a bit off of Catalina's forehead, and a makeup artist trotted in to powder her. Sam looked at the composition and nodded. It looked pretty good. Catalina laughed at something the makeup artist said, her pearly-white teeth perfect, and Sam sighed. Even with the risks involved here, Sam couldn't help wanting to look like that.
She looked around, noting that the rest of the stage was basically ready to go, and checked her watch. Just over a minute until they were supposed to start.
"One minute," Bill said.
Sam hadn't gotten a good look at the male competitors, so she hadn't decided which one she was going to borrow yet. By the nature of their business, the slavers mostly dealt in women, and most of the folks working here were male. Part of the rationale behind the show had been to improve sales of male slaves, in fact, and it did seem to be working. While there were a few free women here, most of them were lesbians, and most of the rest were girlfriends of the senior executives, which meant that they were generally afraid that cheating on their boyfriends would get them collared and sold off as well. The only exceptions were Sam and Catalina, and since Catalina tended to go out clubbing after the shows, Sam usually had her pick of the male slaves to spend the night with before they got packaged up and sent off to their new owners.
The Asian guy in blue had had a nice chest, she had noticed that, and the blond in green had potential as well. She hadn't really seen the guys in red or yellow, though.
No rush. Plenty of time to decide after the show.
"We're live in ten..." Bill said, counting down, and Sam shifted her attention back to her camera. Catalina set her smile in place, and Sam admired the look. Her generously-sized breasts threatened to spill out of the top of the white leather corset she wore, and her tiny white leather skirt came down just enough to cover her well-rounded ass. White leather boots with a sizable heel completed the ensemble, and as Bill said, "And we're live," Catalina ran a perfectly-manicured tanned hand through her long black hair.
"Good evening, Masters and Mistresses, and welcome to another episode of Fight For Freedom, the darknet's favorite game show," Catalina said, flashing a perfect smile through ruby-red lips. "Tonight, our recruiters have gotten a bumper crop for us, and we have four newlywed couples ready to compete for the right to walk away from here with a nice fat check from the sales of their rivals." Sam zoomed the camera back, giving the viewers a full-length view of Catalina just as she turned toward the four boxes on the stage behind her. The camera followed Catalina's bouncing ass as she walked toward the green box, furthest toward stage right. She stood next to the seven-foot-tall box, and turned back to the camera with a smile. "Let's meet our contestants! First up, in green, we have Patrick and Deirdre Kelly, from New York!"
Catalina gestured, and the green box lifted straight up. Sam set her camera to a wide view of Catalina and the box, knowing that Felix on camera one would be panning up with the bottom edge of the box. Two pair of feet came into view, one bare and hairy, one wearing green pumps with two-inch heels. Green leather ankle cuffs on each, clipped together. A woman's pale and shapely legs, and a man's muscular ones, just slightly less pale. The bottom edge of a translucent green lace nightgown, just barely down to mid-thigh, and then a pair of green bikini panties just visible through it, across her narrow hips. Her flat stomach showed above the panties, as his tight green exercise shorts came into view, not really concealing his erection. She twisted a bit, and the green leather cuffs holding her wrists behind her back came into view, holding her to the green pole behind her back. His chest, muscular and well-defined, was covered in curly blond hair, becoming more visible as the box and camera continued upward. Her chest came into view, large breasts barely contained by the top of her nightgown, and then the green collar around her neck. Green spaghetti straps crossed her pale, freckle-covered shoulders, partly covered by her shoulder-length curly red hair. A green ring gag with a large rubber plug stretched her mouth wide. His collar came into view as her emerald-green eyes blinked in the sudden light. His mouth was filled by a green ball gag, and then his own blue eyes appeared just before his close-cropped blond hair.
Sam made sure her camera showed all of the couple just as Dan switched the feed over to her. Catalina reached over to stroke her hand through his hair. "Patrick used to be a truck driver, and Deirdre used to be a waitress," Catalina said. "They were both virgins until their honeymoon began two nights ago. They've only had sex three times, and only missionary. Isn't that adorable?"
Patrick tugged at the green leather cuffs holding him to his own green pole as Catalina leaned up and kissed him on the cheek. She reached over and tweaked Deirdre's nipple, making her jump, then headed to the next box in the row, the blue one. Sam let her camera linger on the Kelly family, knowing that Hector on camera four would follow Catalina while camera one set up to follow the blue box up.
Guy in green's not bad, Sam thought. I might nab him for tonight if he loses.
"Camera two, move to blue couple," Dan said into her headset, and she shifted the camera over to the next box. She had the view of the whole box as Catalina posed next to it, then gestured it up.
"Let's meet our second couple, in blue!" Catalina said, as the box started to lift. Blue heels on the woman came into view, and blue leather ankle cuffs on both her and her husband. "This is Hiroshi and Satomi Yamaguchi, from San Jose. Hiroshi used to be a personal trainer, and Satomi used to be a schoolteacher. Maybe if they lose, their new owners will find interesting ways to to educate them."
The box continued up, revealing Satomi's toned legs and Hiroshi's muscular ones. Satomi's blue silk boyshorts were next, and a sliver of lean stomach between them and a blue silk camisole. Next to her, her husband's tight blue shorts bulged with his erection. Her smallish breasts pushed out the front of the camisole, her stiff nipples tenting the silk. Her husband's nearly-hairless but muscular chest appeared as the box continued upwards, as did the thin silken straps that crossed her shoulders and the blue collar, snug around her neck. Her mouth was held open by a blue ring gag, sealed with a blue rubber plug. Her brown eyes, apprehensive as they blinked in the light, were at the same level as his blue collar, and her long, straight black hair swayed around her head as she turned to survey the room. Her husband looked around over his blue ball gag, his piercing brown eyes taking inventory of the situation.
Catalina reached up to run her hand through his short black hair, and he glared at her. "They've been living together for a year, but Satomi is still an anal virgin. Well, that won't last the night," Catalina says with a laugh.
Very nice, Sam thought. I'll take him over the guy in green.
Catalina stroked her hand along Satomi's side, cupping her ass through the silk boyshorts, and evidently giving a little pinch from the way Satomi jumped. Hiroshi pulled at his cuffs, growling through his gag, and Catalina laughed as she walked toward the red box.
