COUNTESS As he shut the door, and Lisa heard his footsteps moving away... she turned to the tank once again. Letting out a sigh of relief she couldn't help but wonder if SHE was capable of tolerating such experiments. She shuddered at the very thought of it and to hurry her apprehensive thoughts away she gave a quick touch to the control of the anal probe. Janine was relaxing as the waves of pleasure were slowly ebbing from her body when one quick pinch to the inner walls of her anus abruptly brought them to an end. Nurse Lisa chuckled and sat down to monitor her for awhile until the doctor returned. Staring, Lisa thought how helpless this patient was and tried to picture herself in the same situation."I just couldn't put up with this shit, no way. I'd be a fighting little bitch...it's too demeaning." Lisa jumped as Dr. Newlin entered the room. "What the hell are you so jumpy for?" Dr. Newlin asked with a grin so slight that Lisa wasn't sure if she saw it or not. Lisa lowered her head and replied, "I...I was just thinking... of..." The doctor cut her short and calmly stated that he'd like to try something different on the patient. "I want to see how she will react to the touch of another female," as he raised his eyes to meet hers. Her mouth dropped slightly and she started to reply when he walked over to the counter and pulled open a drawer. Removing what appeared to be two small metal clamps with wires attached, Dr. Newlin turned and began to approach Lisa. Lisa blinked hard as her eyes fixed on the objects in his grasp... HARRY SELDON Her voice breaking slightly with apprehension as the doctor came at her, Lisa could only utter, "Doctor?" "Stop it, you silly bitch... you're letting your libido get the best of you. Straighten up, or you'll be next in the tank -- and I promise you, it won't be any `fun' for you. Understand?" The embarrassment of being so obvious in her excitation to the man flustered Lisa but she shrugged herself abruptly and forced the feelings of need and excitation to diminish. "I'm sorry, doctor. It won't happen again. It's just that I've had a lot of time to think about what it must be like to BE one of our clients -- and I'm afraid that my fantasies have finally become a real need inside of me. I apologize for my unprofes- sional behavior." "There's no need to explain, nurse. Just remember that objectiv- ity in our work is most important. You shouldn't allow yourself to get involved... in that way." But even as he said the words, he knew he was lying. He, too, felt the inner stirrings and fires of desire each time he "treated" one of his "patients." Janine was special to him also. She was the first "chubby" in a long time to be in such basically superb condition. She LOOKED good -- even with the extra weight. And he could easily imagine himself inside of her... swelling, thrusting, peaking inside of her. He, too, shrugged mentally -- but the image didn't go away -- neither did the need. With a mental twist, he realized that perhaps he could literally kill two birds with one stone. The thought -- totally unprofessional, of course -- hit him like hot water in a shower on a cold day. "Lisa..." Her name, uttered with that tone, rekindled the fear that she had felt just moments ago. "Call Tom and Ben in, please. We're going to do some changing around." Indeed, he thouht. Tom and Ben can help me wire YOU up, my little Lisa -- and then we'll see how Janine reacts to your womanly touches -- and how YOU react to the stimulations we can lay on YOUR body. A broad smile began to spread across his face as he heard the nurse dial the central desk and ask for the aids. "Lisa, I want you to do something for me. The main concept of our work here is twofold -- train our patients to be submissive slaves that accept pain and pleasure as their natural due, and second -- make them healthier and lighter. Anything that takes their minds off of food and increases their activity is good. The tank, because we failed in our program in the beginning, has now become a liability. She merely rests in there waiting for whatever. By allowing her the sexual release we did, we took away the main advantage of sensory deprivation. "So -- we'll step up her physical activities by making her a part of the process. And, Lisa, you are about to become a diversion for our Janine." He turned as the two men walked into the room and looked at them with just a hint of a smile on his face as he said, "Gentlemen, our nurse Lisa has been an unprofessional slut at best. I believe it's time to each her to be more professional and objec- tive in her work. Restrain her!" Lisa couldn't believe her ears. She couldn't believe the doc- tor's words. She couldn't believe the heat building up in her secret place as the men moved toward her. The weakness in her knees and the swoon she felt coming on were nothing compared to the trembling of overt anticipation she felt throughout her entire body.
