Chapter 11 “Echoes” (5/7)

As soon as the gag is removed from her mouth, Karen springs to life, or at least tries to. She flinches back from Jerri and it’s obvious now that her unwillingness to walk was due to weakness, as she doesn’t get very far.

“I know you! S-stay away from me!” the new captive says in a voice that, despite her exotic looks, places her origin firmly from the US.

Jerri understands the Karen recognizes her from her position as a rising executive at Magniserva and she also understand that with Piglet standing here, she has to get the young woman oriented to some of the more major rules of the Harem, especially the rule about using girls’ birth names.. and quickly.

“My dear girl,” Jerri says through a constant warm smile, “It’s very critical right now that you follow a couple of simple yet importa….”

Karen Singh is obviously not listening, “I’m nothing like you! I don’t want any of this!”

Piglet seems very amused by the scene playing out before her and stands back, giving Karen more room to impotently try to scoot away for Jerri.

Jerri continues to try to walk the tightrope of following the rules of the harem herself, on one hand, while trying let Karen know that things here are nothing like they may appear, on the other.

“Now, please understand, that what you may think of my former life is...”

“You’re the ‘Sexecutive’!!”

Jerri feels like she’s been slapped across the face. In abject shock, she can only reply: “What?”

“You’re the Sexecutive! I can’t do this! I can’t give up my career and everything I’ve earned just to frolic around naked on this island like some sex-crazed little nymph!”

Jerri is trying to process exactly what Karen means by ‘Sexecutive’, but can only blink her eyes.

Piglet on the other hand, is fully capable of asking what Karen means and seems very curious herself about the term, albeit for very different reasons than Jerri.

“Seeexeeecuuuutiiiive,” Piglet says, drawing out each letter of the word as if its the most fascinating word she’s every heard, “I desire to know more. Please enlighten us, girl. Our focus on the Island is of service, we do not concern ourselves with the pettiness of outside information. Still, I am curious...”

“I can’t believe you haven’t heard?!” Karen seems more confused than ever, “It’s been all over the tabloids for the past year. The young executive who gave everything up, her promising career, her husband, her country… all so she could spend her days naked and indulging her carnal desires!”

Jerri is reeling, this is all quite a shock to her. The fact that she’s been in Alqir a year already is enough of a jolt and she’s always assumed that her husband, at the very least, was making an effort to get her released. All she can do is sit and listen to Karen as she continues.

“… oh God, and the pictures! All over the Internet! I can’t do that! I’m nothing like you! I don’t get off on being tied up or having pictures of me having sex with all sorts of men posted everywhere for all to see!”

“Look Cock-Sheath,” Piglet purrs, “You are famous!”

Jerri is overtaken with absolute humiliation. She actually feels stupid that she thought that anyone outside of the Harem believed that she was here involuntarily, especially after how much effort has gone into crafting an official tale in by the Sultan and his staff- all corroborated by people like the US Consul and Mr Dickard. For this moment Jerri feels completely lost.

“I don’t know why I was brought here,“ Karen continues, “I’m happy to be alive after the attack on the platform, but no.. no I can’t do this! I’m not going to be another juicy addition to the ‘Sexecutive’ story!”

Jerri can’t find any words at all and Roxy stands silently, gripped in shock herself and empathy for her friend.

“I see our protocol slave is deep in thought” Piglet smiles down at Jerri’s gaping expression after a bit of time passes, “perhaps contemplating all of the pleasures she’s experienced over the past year? I will now help you, girl. In these critical first moments in you service, there is much for you to learn...”

Something stirs in Jerri: her deeply competitive nature.

No, Piglet will not take over the introduction of Miss Singh.

“Dear Piglet,” Jerri says from deep within her throat, “May I remind you that His Magnificence has appointed me protocol slave and therefore it is his will that I shall oversee her introduction into our devoted family.”

Piglet can’t argue with Jerri’s reasoning.

“I live to serve his Will, indeed” Piglet grudgingly accepts, not liking being told that by Jerri.

“In that case, you filthy rotten little slut, will you be a dear and get soap, perfume and a proper collar for the new girl?” Jerri’s insult doesn’t actually insult a unique woman such as Piglet, but it still felt good for Jerri to say that to her.

“You do have a way with your tongue, Cock-Sheath, both in words and in sexual pleasure. Of course, I will,” Piglet says with a wry grin.

Jerri knows she has a very short window to explain what she can to Karen while piglet is away. She tries her best to shake off the heavy feeling of humiliation, but it’s difficult to weather so many blows like she has for so long...

...And it certainly doesn't help that Piglet keeps saying as she saunters out of the baths:

“Sexecutive! Sex-ec-u-tive! What a fantastic word! Sexecutive!”

Yikes! Jerri is caught a bit off guard by Karen, the girls don't get a lot of access to media, after all. 

Thank you all for looking, reading and your support. More to come tomorrow as Jerri attempts some damage control.
