There were four frames in the room. All made from a combination of metal and leather. Each frame was in a different shape, clearly designed for holding their prisoners in a different position. They all had a series of cuffs and straps attached, the purpose of which was very clear to the girls stood in the doorway.
One wall had a lot of kit on it. All the kit was obviously designed to cause lots of pain to soft, delicate flesh. There were all manner of whips, canes, floggers, and straps along with various handcuffs and ropes. The collection was certainly impressive and in any other circumstances, Lauren's interest may well have been piqued.
However, the frames and the equipment, as imposing as they were, were not what had primarily caught Lauren's attention.
In addition to the frames were two machines which were about to be used to whip her pussy and Charlotte's breasts. That was clear.
There was a technician attaching a leather strap to the arm of one machine. It was essentially a motor on a trolley with a single arm to swing the whip. A thick cable trailed away to a computer desk where some screens were lit up.
Lauren felt a hand grab the chain in the small of her back and she was propelled forward into the room. Charlotte got similar treatment and they each ended up standing on a spot painted on the floor.
"Ok ladies" the guard said. "Me and my colleague intend to treat you fairly and with respect. The next thirty minutes or so is going to be unpleasant for both of you. That's kind of the point of course and there's nothing anyone here can do to change that."
Lauren and Charlotte looked at each other again. Lauren was sure she heard the other girl audibly gulp.
"But" the guard continued "there's a hard way to do this and a slightly easier way to do this. I can promise you, any resistance from you or not doing what you're asked will not improve this situation. It will cause you additional pain and humiliation which is simply not necessary. Do we understand each other?"
"yes miss" both girls said in unison. Lauren wondered if there was really much more that could be done to add to the humiliation of her current situation, but felt it was probably better not to test the theory.
Charlotte glanced at Lauren and said "We're going to be fine. Stay positive."
This earned her a sharp look from the guard, but she clearly chose not to do anything further.
Charlotte too realised her error and looked truly relieved when the guard moved on.
"Ok. Merson, we're going to get you set up first. You will both be restrained and then receive your punishments together. I repeat what I said earlier: provided you do everything you are told and don't resist; this will be easier on you."
Lauren watched Charlotte being led over to one of the frames with a mixture of delight that she wasn't going first and guilt because she was delighted. It was going to make practically no difference in any event because the guard had just said they were to be punished together. Lauren felt a strange comfort from that.
Charlotte's walk was over and she stood in front of the tallest frame in the room.
It was essentially an inverted 'Y' with some pads and straps near where the two legs met the main upright.
The guard gently but firmly pushed Charlotte backwards until her back was pushed up against the post. The technician had moved around to the rear of the frame and did something at Charlotte's waist height that made Charlotte gasp. A look of panic crossed her face, but she managed to maintain her composure.
Next, the guard removed the handcuffs completely and Charlotte's hands were temporarily free. That relief was short lived though as the technician returned with some much wider leather cuffs. He and the guard took a hand each and within a few moments, Charlotte's wrists were again encased. Each wrist was lifted above the head of the hapless girl and fastened to the rear of the post at neck height.
The technician wound a handle on the frame which lifted her wrists upwards and backwards naturally pushing her chest out.
Lauren stood on her spot with her wrists chained to her belly chain in morbid fascination of what was happening on the other side of the room.
The plumper girl was now standing with her chest thrust out past her belly which was still tightly chained, looking for all to see like she was presenting her chest to the room. Her face was framed between her raised arms and she was crying silently to herself.
Her heavy breasts and belly were wobbling gently with her sobbing. Lauren could see all of Charlotte's curves and additional weight laid out bare. There was absolutely nothing the girl on the frame could do to hide herself except keep her legs clamped together.
Lauren felt a great deal of sympathy for her, but knew she was soon to be in a similar position. She could feel the panic begin to form again in her stomach and she concentrated on her breathing. With each in-breath she could feel the chain restricting her muscles. Despite the situation and to distract her from the panic, she focused on the fact that she quite liked that feeling.
Charlotte's legs couldn't be free though, and the technician and the guard got to work securing her ankles into straps on the two legs of the inverted Y. This had the effect of spreading Charlotte so now her pussy was clearly visible too. Moving her feet apart lost her precious height and her breasts lifted still further as the strain on her position increased.
Further straps were added to her thighs and fastened tightly so there was yet more bulging of flesh. What little modesty the girl had been able to maintain had been taken from her. There was a sound of compressed air and a squeal from Charlotte.
One of the pads on the frame had been inflated behind her shoulders to push her chest even further our and taking up any slack that was in her restraints. Her chest was pushed forward against her arm restraints, bringing her breasts still further out towards the room.
As a finishing touch, the guard leant around and tightened a further leather strap around the girl's rib, cage immediately under her breasts, securing her against the frame.
Lauren was momentarily thinking how unnecessary that final strap was when she was snapped out of her thoughts by Rebecca's name being called by the guard. Lauren looked over to where the guard was beckoning her over, took a deep breath and began what felt like a very long walk across the room.
Her frame was different to Charlotte's. It was a cross between a bed and big chair. Lauren had never needed to see a gynaecologist, but the contraption in front of her now is exactly what she'd have expected to see. Well, probably more in the way of comfort and less in the way of restraints in the doctor's office.
The guard gripped her handcuffs and pulled her into position facing away from the seat. She gently pushed back until Lauren had no choice but to sit on the seat.
"Lie back Cooke' instructed the guard. Lauren really did not want to lie back but eyeing the electric baton and thinking back to the holding cell and the pain of the electric shock, she decided her options were limited. Even if she somehow managed to overpower the guard with her hands cuffed to her belly chain, she had no idea how to get out of the prison and even if by some miracle, she managed to escape to the street she'd still be naked and chained.
Lauren laid back. The back of the frame on which she was lying had a leather cover but was hardly luxurious. It was made up of two panels that allowed a gap along the length of her spine. She was at about 45 degrees, so her head was higher than her bottom, like she was sitting up in a lounge chair, but considerably less comfortable.
She was aware of the technician over her right shoulder and felt her belly chain get tighter with a click. As she tested her chain with her stomach muscles, she realised she was now attached to the frame. That explained Charlotte's squeal earlier, Lauren mused.
The guard and technician were both beside her, one on her left and one on her right. The guard reached over and uncuffed both her hands. The relief she felt surprised her in its intensity. She wasn't sure how long she'd been cuffed for, but it couldn't have been more than a couple of hours at most. Her wrists had deep red marks on them where the steel had dug into her skin.
She was about to take advantages of her freedom to rub some circulation back in when her wrists were seized by the guard and the technician. Each took an arm and laid it against arm supports that came out from the chair at a slight angle. In a moment, her wrists were restrained with leather straps and another moment later, there were straps over her biceps.
This left her with her bottom on the seat, laying back at a 45-degree angle with her arms and wrists restrained out to the sides slightly. The position almost reminded her of the US execution gurney, but she pushed that from her mind. Now, her legs were dangling over the edge of the seat.
