Part 17
"Hmmm?" I groaned, everything seemed so white.
I slowly opened my eyes to the bright room, a warm heat covered my body, making me feel much more relaxed than I had been in a while. I almost didn't want to open my eyes and just live in the world of sleep for a moment longer. As the white blanket of the dream world faded, I was met with an unfamiliar room. Neither the ceilings, walls or any of the items within seemed at all familiar.
However, I had the sense I was not alone. As I tried to sharpen my eyes, I looked across the room to notice a figure sitting in a chair opposite the bed I was in.
"Where am I?" I asked the stranger across the room.
"You are in the house of Elrond, and it is ten o'clock in the morning on October the twenty-fourth, if you want to know."
"What?"
I sat up, the room finally managed to focus and the figure in the corner of the room sharpened into the familiar sight of Harriet. She looked readily dressed for the day, with her arm still in the sling.
"Sorry, Tolkien fan," she said with a smile, "You are at the guesthouse at the stables, you passed out really hard last night. I feel Abigail and Saffron weren't easy on you and the events of yesterday probably didn't help."
It took a moment for the room to fully come into view, it didn't help that the guest house was very modern in comparison to the rest of the property, with many windows to let in light from the bright morning. However, it was clear why I did not initially know where I was, as it was a part of the property I had barely been in. I believed the closest I got to being in this actual house was when I walked up to the window and saw the sleeping, latex creature on the sofa downstairs. Little did I know that it was the short, blonde haired Nicole that used to spend her days as a pony, living in her fantasy of becoming a pet. It was clear I was in that same house the moment I could see the square from the large bedroom window.
Harriet's soft smile was enough to put me at ease. I was sure both her and Beth were still not pleased with me after what happened yesterday, I was also aware that Jade would not been happy with me either for getting her all worried; along with the rest of the girls.
"I'm sorry," I said, stretching my body out.
"What are you apologising for?" The woman asked.
"For… everything. I'm so sorry for everything."
"Please don't be. It's all in the past now."
I must have passed out hard, I don't even recall getting into bed last night."
The woman chuckled, "You were tired, yeah. Well, after all the tidying and cleaning you did yesterday, it was no wonder. You could barely form a sentence as we marched you to bed."
Oh yeah. I remembered that Beth put me to work pretty much straight away, I was forced to wear the nightgown for the entire day as I washed dishes, cleaned windows, vacuumed; pretty much every mundane chore you could think of, I had spent Sunday doing.
"Well, in terms of punishments, it wasn't that bad, I guess," I shot a weakened smile.
"Well, the first of many punishments."
"What?"
"Oh, I'm sorry." Harriet thought for a moment, "Beth told me to tell you, that there are many, many, many, many, many punishments in store for you."
"What?"
"She told me to say it exactly five times."
"…okay, well I guess I deserve it."
"I guess you do."
I glanced back over to the woman I shared company with, noticing how comfortable she was in the chair that sat opposite my bed, "How long have you been there for?"
"Oh, I think about half an hour?"
"Half an hour?"
"Maybe an hour?"
I laughed, "Why was it for so long? Were you watching me sleep?"
"Well, I am very bored since the accident with my arm and I am very worried about you. Also, I wasn't really watching you, I was playing on my phone for most of it."
"You are worried about me?"
"You don't snore by the way… but yes, I am very worried."
I laughed again, "There is nothing to be worried about, I'm fine."
"You're lying, aren't you?" This time she was deadly serious, "I can tell you are hurting, your heart is breaking. There was a reason why you stole the suit and that was to feel some form of comfort, you needed it after your mother visited you. Beth and I could give you all the punishments we want, but that won't stop the pain that you feel."
"Yeah."
"Heather. There is going to be a tough decision ahead for you. I know that you've already feel like you've decided, but your mother has given you an option nonetheless and you should not answer so hastily."
"What do you mean? I'm not going to give up the stables, my friends, Jade and my fam-"
"I know you don't want to. We would not want to see you go, but you shouldn't deny your mother the right into your life straight away. You should give her a moment of your time, just hear her out before you make the permanent decision. You said she wanted to meet you for coffee?"
"Yeah, she does."
"Then meet her once for coffee, give her the space and time to talk. Give yourselves a moment to become mother and daughter again, even if it is for just for that one moment."
"I'm not sure."
"Please, for me. All I am asking for just an hour, maybe not even that."
"Why?"
She licked her lips and became thoughtful for a moment, "Because that time might never come again. That pain you feel now might fade over time and will be replaced with regret. You might not have the time later than you do now."
It surprised me as the words were coming from deep inside her, this wasn't a conversation the older woman was having easily with me, I could sense her pain and meaning with every sentence. Maybe I couldn't see my mother again for selfish reasons, neither could I see my mother again for her benefit, but I could potentially meet up with her for someone I loved and cared for, I could see her again for Harriet.
"I'll have a think about it." I gave her another smile, hopefully this one was as warm and soothing as the ones she was giving me.
"Thank you, that is all I ask."
With that she stood up, stretching her body from the hour or so she had on the comfortable seat.
"Why is it so warm in here?" I asked, feeling the heat radiate off the covers that surrounded me.
Harriet pointed towards the bed before finally walking out of the room, "Oh, you didn't sleep alone, someone kept you company."
Puzzled, I lifted off the blankets to realise the woman was correct, I was not alone in the bed. I unknowingly shared it with an animal very special to me, Nicole. Love filled my eyes as I gazed over the still dozing creature. Her body was covered in the same latex outfit she had worn so many times, her bound paws rested just below her head and her legs were resting at a slight curve. Her back was arched in a way that made it very noticeable when she was breathing as her breasts were being pushed out each time she inhaled inwards.
She looked far too adorable for me to leave her, plus I wanted to reward her for keeping me company all night. I shimmied myself towards her and placed my arms around her thin body the moment I got close. She let out a little whimper as I did this, making the entire moment even cuter. Then it moved, I looked down at the creature as her beautiful, bright eyes eventually opened, the most human element of the creature locked under a layer of latex. She whimpered again as she moved herself around and returned the hug, embracing me as tightly as I was with her. I gushed at the moment, it was far too cute. The heavy sounds of her breathing returned as I realised she had fallen back to sleep seconds after the cuddle began.
For a while, I forgot about the outside world and my life. The only thing that existed in my life was this pet and that was all that mattered to me.
Both Beth and Harriet were waiting for me when I finally managed to leave the bed. The situation felt almost identical to the one that happened yesterday, but this time it was in the guesthouse and the two women weren't staring at my ruined suit, they sat on the sofa drinking tea, chatting lightly to each other. It was a welcome sight, much more welcoming than the sight the previous day. Like before, the two women acknowledged my existence the moment I got half way down the staircase. Harriet welcomed me with her warm smile once again, Beth grinned widely as she showed both rows of teeth.
"Oh, please don't tell me it's going to be another tough day," I begged, placing my hands together.
"Oh, don't worry," Beth said, standing up and walking towards me, "You did so much for us yesterday, that was enough in terms of chores."
"In terms of chores? What else do you guys have planned? Did you want me to clean the guest house this time?"
"No, I think you've done more than enough in that department." Beth smiled, placing her arm around me.
"We've spoken to the initial supplier of the outfit and it won't cost too much to get it fixed, the suit just needs a deep clean, so you are off the hook for that," Harriet added.
"Really? Oh, that is good news." I sighed.
Beth's smile turned more into a grin, "However, Harriet and I feel there is still a lesson to be taught here."
"Oh… no."
"Oh yes!"
At that moment, we all heard the pattering of paws travelling across the floor above us, within seconds the pattering began travelling down the stairs and we were quickly joined by the pet I had spent the last few minutes cuddling. I was surprised to see how easily she managed the stairs, balancing on her hands and knees as she crawled forwards head first towards the ground floor. I noticed she smiled behind the mask as she reached the bottom of the stairs, as if she was pleased with what she did.
"Ah, Nic. It's good to see you. Perhaps you can help us today," Beth said, "We need to teach Heather a valuable lesson, but you are also in need of a lesson taught, aren't you?"
The woman sounded like she was scolding an actual pet. Initially, Nicole was staring at the woman with her head tilted, as if she was trying to understand what the woman meant, but then it hit the girl and she immediately lost the happiness she had gained just moments before. I imagined a wagging tail coming from Nicole's behind that slowly drooped when she realised she was also in trouble with the two women.
"What did Nicky do?" I asked, confused as to what could warrant a punishment for the perfect animal.
Beth stared deeply in the pet's eyes, as if continuing the scolding mentally, "Nicole here needs to be taught that she can't have our attention all the time. We love having Nicole here and it's been a good arrangement since Harriet's accident meant she could not work. However, Harriet is returning to work very soon and Nicole is sending her on a guilt trip."
"Oh…"
I looked towards the older woman who was still sitting on the sofa, she looked almost as guilty as the pet who was sitting next to me.
"We love you, Nicole. You will always be our pet here, but we can't tend to your needs every hour of the day. You have to understand that Harriet has other responsibilities apart from you. If you want, we can get clients to come in and keep you company during the day, does that sound good?"
The pet tilted her head down, I even heard a soft whimper escape from the mask.
Beth continued, "We still care about you alot, but you have to understand that you can be a lot of work, little miss. So, this will be a perfect time to teach you both a lesson."
"Did you want me to look after Nicole for the day?" I asked.
"Nope," Beth said abruptly, then did an action in her hands that meant the lesson would have been the opposite of what I said.
"So… Nicole will be looking after me?"
She nodded, "Yep!"
"But how would she look after me when she is wearing that suit?"
"Who says she will be wearing the suit?"
My eyes widened, "What?"
Immediately, both Nicole and I looked at each other. I heard the soft whimper of the sad girl escape the mask again and my body began to tremble with what the woman could have possibly meant.
I looked into the bedroom mirror as Beth stood behind me. Gently, the nightgown was lifted off my body and I was once again naked. From this angle, I could see into the square. A collection of cars had entered the property, with the women I had spent every day with exiting their vehicles, probably unaware that I was being changed just meters away. It was Monday morning and they all seemed pleased to start the day. Abigail and Saffron walked hand in hand towards the storage room. Kathia, Lily, Chloe and Jade had all left Chloe's car, Jade looked up between the main house and the guest house, trying her hardest to figure out where I was., but it was the solemn look on her face that broke my heart.
"It'll be okay," Beth stated behind me, "She'll understand when you get the chance to talk to her."
"Can I quickly go down and talk to her now?" I pleaded.
"No, I'm afraid not. You'll get the chance to talk to her soon, I promise."
I groaned lightly, returning to the sight of my bare form in the mirror, my body was looking good despite the aches I could feel. The events of the weekend were not lost on me yet and my frame still was screaming from the delicious torture the two tall women put me through in that log cabin.
A selection of knocks came from the door to the bedroom, causing Beth to leave me alone with my thoughts for a moment. I was surprised my body wasn't as bruised as it felt, I was truly thrown around by Saffron and Abigail. My position as a human was removed for a few hours and replaced with being an object for their pleasure, I used the term 'toy' to refer to the actions placed on me that day.
"Right, here we are," Beth stated as she returned to my side, holding the empty shell of Nicole's suit in her arms.
It was a horrifying view, I had only seen the outfit with the girl inside it before and seeing it empty looked like she was skinned. I tried my hardest not to put my hand to my mouth despite knowing that Nicole was safe in a different room in the house. It was the empty eyes of the mask that got to me most, where her beautiful irises peeked out before was now free of any life, not to mention the mask was a completely separate part of the suit so it looked like the poor girl had been decapitated.
Beth continued to talk, clearly understanding of my horrified expression, "Don't worry, Harriet gave it a wipe over with a wet cloth, it's completely free of any… umm, stains that would have collected when Nicole was wearing it."
Well… maybe she didn't understand then.
"Stains?" I asked, even more shocked by the words the older woman said.
"Oh, Nicole enjoys being in this suit… maybe too much."
"Oh… OH!" My eyes widened, "Stains… I get you."
"Don't worry, it is all clean inside as I said, it is pretty much brand new."
I took a moment to examine the outfit, placing my open hand over the paw that would be enclosing it very soon, the 'glove' was heavier than I had imagined. It looked almost comical that the paws were as thick as if someone was wearing the suit, but the sleeves, torso and legs were as flat as anything.
"How do I communicate in this?" I asked, turning my attention to the mask.
"Oh, you can't, not in the same way you would as a pony." Beth was being frank, "There is a ballgag within the hood that would stop any speech you attempt to make, but it won't make any sound at all. You will have to use your body to talk, Nicole points to items if she needs it or she uses special motions if she requires a drink or go to the toilet."
"Ah, how do I-"
"Nicole will teach you everything when you are enclosed in the suit."
The word enclosed did not sit with me that well. Sure, it wasn't too different to wearing the ponyplay outfit, but at least that one made it easy to communicate to a human being. This one seemed much more intense and felt so final. It was a new sensation that I had never felt before.
"Okay, let's get you in." Beth opened the suit up, placing it by my feet to allow me to step in.
I breathed out, feeling my heart beginning to race, "Oh… yeah, sure. Just give me a minute, please."
"Heather, I won't do anything to harm you, or even allow you to be harmed. You'll be completely fine, I promise."
"You promise?"
"Yeah. There is a reason why I wanted you to wear this, you might not understand it yet, but it will become clear in time."
I breathed out again, feeling a little bit better, "Okay."
"Great! Let's start with your right leg!"
She once again opened the suit, this time I wasted no time in following her orders. The outfit felt almost identical to putting the pony costume on, however this one had a sock covering my bare foot, rather than the separate hoof that I was used to. I saw a collection of goosebumps travel up my body the moment I made contact with the latex, whilst it was the exact same material I had been wearing nearly everyday since starting here, there was something about this suit which both made me excited and nervous. Despite my body being tired and aching from the events of the weekend, it still evoked a feeling of arousal from the encasement of the shiny material.
With half of my leg within the suit, Beth moved to my other limb and brought the latex over my calf. From there she pulled the entirety of the suit over me with ease, my thighs, hips and stomach was almost instantly covered with the pink suit that belonged to Nicole. My nerves were starting to get the better of me once she began guiding my arms down the sleeves, first it was my right hand that was eased into the paw, my hand was forced into a clenched fist as the top of the suit was pulled over my shoulder.
"S-Stop!" I commanded loudly.
I knew I was in no position to fight this, that I owed the two women more than I could imagine and this was their way of teaching both me and the short, blonde haired girl a lesson, but the nervousness was getting too much for me. Truthfully, I was scared. The feeling of my hand being helpless within the mitten hit me with the realisation of how helpless I would have been as a pet, how helpless Nicole spent her time at the stables.
"Heather, you'll be fine." Beth had to calm me down again, "You are in no danger here."
I breathed through my teeth, my eyes were transfixed on the stump at the end of my arm, the object that contained my fingers. I tried my hardest to move my digits individually, but nothing happened. Soon, my other hand will be in the same position and they will be in their helpless forms until I was finally freed from the suit.
I nodded, I knew I didn't have the strength to say anything. Instead, I watched in silence as Beth took my left hand and began to slide it through the empty sleeve, my fingers gingerly felt their way through until it reached the soft, heavy paw and were forced in the same clenched position as my dominant hand. Beth wasted no time sliding the sleeve up my body until my shoulder was aligned in the costume. Then she walked behind me and began to zip me up.
"Just to warn you, Nicole is a little bit smaller than you are, so the suit might feel a little tight, but you should be fine," Beth told me in a quiet tone, understanding that I was already on edge.
The zip reached to the top of my neck, finally sealing me within the catsuit completely. I turned my hands around, despite my fingers being locked in that position; the outside of the suit was an adorable paw. My heart might have been jumping against my chest, but my brain was beginning to realise how cute I was. It was a completely different experience to being a pony, despite the similarities in the outfits. Being a pony was about being powerful, being beautiful and elegant. The suits were developed with the intent on giving the wearer the perfect posture with the inclusion of the hooved feet and the stomach harness acted like a corset, which tightened the stomach and highlighted the chest.
Being a pet was more about being adorable and attentive. There was nothing on this suit that needed tightening as a catsuit was already skin-tight, kneeling and crawling in this outfit would already highlight the best parts of your body, Nicole's butt always caught my gaze whilst she was similarly bound as I was at that moment. The need to get onto my hands and knees became almost too great, it just felt like a natural state to be in at that time.
Beth was right, the suit was easily too small for me. The latex was being pulled across my shoulders and it felt like my thighs would have burst through the material if I moved too much. However, I knew how strong it was and it would have taken much more than me moving around to rip or tear, in fact I felt rather weak in comparison to the shimmering, pink suit that held me in place. I felt Beth's hands travel across my body, patting away any wrinkles that might have shown up during the dressing process, not that there were many. I noticed the woman had a large grin on her face the entire time she moved around me, showing off her white teeth as her eyes glanced over my mostly nude form.
"What?" I asked, realising I was smiling myself, from her contagious cheerfulness.
"Oh, sorry. Just remembering," she said in a dismissive tone.
"Remembering what?"
"I… oh, never mind."
"Tell me."
"I was just remembering the first time we met. The first time I put you in your pony outfit, having that cute cuddle in one of the huts."
"It's easy to remember, it wasn't that long ago."
"Feels like longer than it was. Feels like I've known you for years now."
"Yeah, it does feel like it's been longer than it has."
"I know Harriet has spoken to you about what you said to us yesterday, she didn't tell me what exactly you spoke about, but I was sure she said the right thing to you," Beth said as she walked over to the pet hood and picked it up, tracing her fingers over the empty eyes of the mask, "I just wanted to say, that family doesn't always mean being blood relatives."
"What do you mean?"
"I'm sure Harriet told you something corny, like 'follow your heart' or something along those lines. I know your mother birthed you into this world, but that doesn't necessarily her your mother. You might find that family are people who look out for you, people who love you more than words can say and would do anything for you."
"Yeah, I think I know what you mean."
"Just, don't feel like you have to deal with this woman because of some form of obligation, you don't owe her anything. There may be 'other' kinds of family who need you more, who love you more… sorry, I don't know if I am making myself clear or not."
I watched as she continued to play with the mask in her hands. It was odd to see the older woman act this way as she usually knew exactly what to say and how to express herself. I always saw Beth as the most in charge person at the stables, even more so than the actual stable owner. Seeing her like this was strange, yet meaningful.
"Don't worry," I said, placing my paw on her shoulder, "I know exactly what you are trying to say."
"You do?"
"Of course. I already see everyone here as family. You guys took me in and cared for me when I needed it most. No one else has ever done that for me and I am forever grateful."
She looked up at me with a heart-warming look of warmth and happiness, "Well, that is good to know."
"I see you and Harriet as my parents, Abigail and Saffron as my cheeky aunts. Chloe, Lily, Kathia and Nicole are my sisters."
"Cheeky aunt, aye?"
I guffawed, "Well, yeah. After what happened at the log cabin, cheeky is definitely an understatement."
We both laughed for a moment, taking in the purity of the situation. I knew Beth meant being family in a hypothetical sense, but I really saw them as family. No one had taken me in like them before, no one had cared for me without compromise and never before had I felt so much love.
"Well, I'm glad to see you think that way. We are one big happy family, then?"
"We are one big happy family," I confirmed.
She nodded, "Well, best stop with all this loveable crap and get back to punishing you."
"Okay, Mom," I winked.
The mask was certainly a much different experience than having a head harness placed on me. Beth made sure to get it over as quickly as possible, the easiest way was to turn the mask inside out and placed the internal ballgag into my mouth before moving the latex over my head. For a split second, I felt like I was being smothered by the material. Despite being able to breathe the entire time, the latex covered my eyes and ears seconds after the ballgag was placed firmly between my lips. In a few simple moves, the material covered the entirety of my face and reached down towards my neck, I did not see how, but Beth easily attached that part of the rest of the suit; making it look like one seamless piece.
The eyeholes were wide enough that I could not see any of the latex that surrounded my head, a luxury I did not have when I wore the ponyplay head harness, however the feeling of the gag in my mouth, the muffling of all noise as my ears were pushed under the layer and the overwhelming scent the material gave off all reminded me that I was bound.
However, I did not give the hood the credit it deserved. As I soon realised I could still breath through my nose, somehow the false dog nose on the front of the mask actually connected to where my human nose sat within the muzzle. At first, I thought I would always be partially deaf whilst locked up, but after a few adjustments Beth made, I realised that the faux ears on the very top also somehow connected to where my actual ears sat. It was clear the suit wasn't made for me, I was sure that Nicole's smaller proportions had no issues finding the correct holes to rest on. What started off as a rather uncomfortable situation soon became rather pleasant with a few adjustments.
I was staring at the body in front of me through the mirror, the same mirror I had only checked my naked form in just moments before. It was a surreal experience as I wasn't looking back at the Heather I always knew, I was staring at Nicole, only this time with different eyes. Being on all fours really added to the surrealism, not only did it feel like a completely natural position to be in whilst in this outfit, but it really looked like Nicole was kneeling in front of me.
"What do you think?" Beth came up behind me.
All I could do was nod. The overwhelming fear I had before about being locked in the suit with no way out had completely disappeared the moment I looked into the mirror. I had so many feelings traveling through my body and my mind, there was not one single emotion I could stick to. A nod was all I could convey to the woman behind me, it was the only way I could tell her that I was enjoying my time as a pet. It was an action that told her so many words without needing to actually open my mouth, it told her I was loving the outfit, that I felt nice within the layer of latex, that the worry I had before was all for nothing. It told her that I was happy to receive the punishment she had in store for me.
"Okay, good," she continued saying, "I have to help get the girls ready for the day, Harriet is going to join me for the day. Nicole will be up in a moment to look after you until we close, will you be okay if I leave you alone for a short while? I'm sure Nicky won't be too long."
I nodded again, this time it was with more enthusiasm. I had absolutely no problem with being left alone, it gave me time to continue staring at the figure in front of me without feeling too vain for obsessing over my appearance.
She laughed at how happy I was now, she knelt down next to me and placed both of her arms over my shoulders, giving me a similar hug to how a normal person would hug a dog, "Okay, take care of yourself."
The hug only lasted a few seconds before the older woman got back up, a quick, soft slap hit my butt as she did this. She gave me a look as she turned around and left the room, making sure to close the door behind her, leaving me unable to open it from within. Not that I had any issues with that, I was more than happy just sitting in front of the mirror, now I could see why Nicole enjoyed this so much. It was rather similar to what I was used to, but it felt so much easier than being a pony. Acting as a pony, I still had responsibilities to my client or whoever I had for company. I had to be understanding, I had to be cute, I had to listen to the person once they eventually started speaking, I had to be energetic and ready to provide any service they might have required.
Being a pet, I felt rather mischievous. It truly felt like I could have done whatever I wanted and got away with it. Simply lying down was adorable enough, crawling on my hands and knees showed off much of my body and allowed me to be sexual without even trying. What other services would a client require of a pet other than those two.
Maybe… I might ask Beth and Harriet if there was room for one more pet? I could spend my days resting and keeping Nicole company. I wouldn't have to worry about human things, like family, bills or being sociable. I can retire from my former life and become a pet of the stables.
With that thought in my mind, I was interrupted from the action of staring at my body in the mirror as I noticed the door open up from the corner of my eyes. My eyes immediately shot to it, light from the hallway seemed to illuminate the outline of Nicole's small frame. She kept her hand on the doorknob, taking her moment to look into the room, looking rather unsure of herself and how to handle the situation. She was now in control, a role I doubted she had ever done before. From her outline against the light, I could tell she was wearing a pair of denim shorts, along with a t-shirt. A simple outfit that hugged and showed off her body. Even removed from the suit, it was clear how beautiful and adorable the young woman was naturally. Her eyes were the only part of her I initially recognised, being so used to seeing them behind the hood I was currently wearing. It was her smile that melted my heart. The moment she laid eyes on me she had this huge grin on her face, I imagined it must have felt like she was looking at a reflection, as she was the only previous wearer of the costume. She flicked her short hair away from her eyes before she finally took her hand off the door, letting her pigeon-toed feet walk towards me in an ungracious manner. However, the moment she got within a close distance, she fell to her knees and placed her hands across my latex cheeks, rubbing her thumbs across the shiny material.
"Oh wow!" She exclaimed, "You look so cute, Heather!"
Her eyes flicked between mine, making sure to see the woman under the outfit along with the creature in front of her. I must admit that it felt nice to be fussed over, making sure to relax under the warm glow of her love.
"At first, I thought I wasn't going to enjoy this, I thought that I would be too used to being the pet and be so nervous around you, but seeing you like this is far too nice! I initially wanted to remove you from the suit and take your place, I was sure you wouldn't want to be stuck in that outfit all day and I really don't like being treated like a human anymore…"
I stared at her with wide eyes, realising that she had hardly taken any breaths since she began talking, surely spending most of her time locked in the suit had made her want to talk more, but it felt odd that the usually quiet Nicole was practically saying everything on her mind.
She continued, "But I promise today we will be good. We will show Harriet and Beth that we can take our punishments and not complain about it. Even though I am already missing that suit. Oh, how does it feel? It felt so odd the first time I wore it but I got used to it very quickly and couldn't bare the thought of taking it off!"
Once again, her eyes returned to mine. I did not know if I was communicating to her with my eyes or if she had realised that she was being very chatty, but her tone changed almost instantly.
"Oh, I'm sorry," she gave me a soft smile, saying the words much slower this time, "I'm speaking a lot, aren't I? I am usually a very quiet person unless you know me, but I must be very comfortable around you. Shall we get on with the day? I'm sure you are dying to talk to Jade and the others."
I nodded, enthusiastically.
She stood up, "Perfect! Let's get you outside then!"
I followed her as we made our way out of the bedroom and across the hall. Quickly, it became apparent that I felt odd within the shell of a pet, it wasn't second nature for me to crawl on my hands and knees compared to the girl who was currently leading me. However, hardly any time went by before we hit our first bump. It was the stairs, the objective that I saw Nicole finish so easily earlier was much more terrifying than I imagined it to be. I glanced down the entire staircase, around twelve carpeted stairs were in the way between me and my goal. Realising that my hands were bound and my fingers were useless added to the tension I had felt.
"Mmmmph," I tried to speak, forgetting the gag that filled my mouth.
Despite the lack of pronunciation, Nicole immediately knew what I was talking about, she was already half way down already before she looked up at me after hearing my cries. It seemed that this was an obstacle that she too faced at the beginning of her time as a pet as she walked back up the small selection of stairs that she had just walked down to come up and comfort me.
"Hey, just this once… let's cheat," she said with a wink.
I was more than happy to do just that. Knowing that both Beth and Harriet were outside tending to the ponies, I was helped up by the young woman onto my feet; a position I was far more comfortable with. Together, we walked down the set of stairs and reached the bottom without incident, something that I couldn't have said if I crawled down on my hands and knees. However, Nicole made sure to return me to the usual pet position the second we reached the ground floor,
It was an almost obscured situation. I must admit that I was desperate to leave the house and meet up with my friends, there seemed to be so much I wanted to explain to Jade, Chloe and the others. However, when we got to the door I suddenly lost all strength in my legs, I understood that it would have been weird for the girls to see me in this position and in this outfit, also the complete lack of ability to speak had made me doubt how easily I would be able to get my point across.
The desperation to tell Jade all that has happened to me within the last few days hadn't ceased and I found myself staring out to the world outside through a window. I watched painfully as the girls all spoke in the square, Beth and Harriet were trying to get them to enter their own stables to get transformed into their pony outfits. Kathia had jumped into the arms of Abigail, playing on her maternal side and forcing the pair into a long, drawn-out hug. Chloe and Lily were talking quietly whilst sat on the wall of the pond, it was clear the girls were ready for the next step of the day but were just waiting for the commotion to end. Jade and Saffron were interacting with each other, something I don't think I had ever seen before. The tall, dark-skinned woman had a huge grin on her face as she was talking about something, using hand gestures to really get her point across.
…Oh… god.
I just realised Saffron was relaying the events of the weekend to the shorter woman. Probably telling her every single event that transpired. From using me as a toy between them, trying me up, how I orally pleased the two giants… all the way to me fainting from the intense orgasm that washed over me. She was telling her every single detail without a filter, Jade's expressions ranged from being shocked to laughing heavily, probably pleased that I was being thrown around like a doll whilst she was having a quiet weekend with Chloe and Lily.
This made the need for me to go outside even greater, I wanted to understand what everyone was talking about, I wanted Jade to know that I was alright despite being pushed to the limit between the two women.
However… I did not have the courage to leave the safety of the house. The idea of looking up at my friends, all looking down at me as if I was just a pet, that terrified me more than anything else right now. The inability to speak or communicate with them all whilst their eyes never left me… I shuddered to even think about it.
Sadly, I was still stuck behind the window, hiding behind a set of drawers that was placed in front of it. My paws were resting at the top of the piece of furniture as my head was poked up, looking as if I was hiding in a cartoonish fashion. What made it worse was Nicole was next to me doing the exact same thing, hiding from the group outside as she was in her human form.
It dawned on me that we were hiding from our friends for the exact opposite reason. I was hiding as I didn't want to be seen as a pet and I was unable to interact with Jade and the others on a verbal level. Nicole was hiding because she didn't want to be seen as a human and she was able to communicate with the others, which meant she had to use words today; something I knew the young woman struggled with. I would have laughed at the situation if my mouth wasn't already filled by the mask, our situations had been entirely reversed and that somehow terrified us both.
"Did… did you want to go outside?" Nicole asked me, the nervousness obvious in her voice.
I took a quick glance at her, she was clearly terrified of having to be human with a bunch of other humans, I could see her fingers trembling on the varnished wood beneath them. Whilst I had all the desire to be stripped of this outfit and be able to speak to my friends, I knew I couldn't force the blonde girl into that scenario. I felt bad for the girl, it seemed that being a pet wasn't just a fantasy she was living out, but it was a shield that protected her from the rest of the world, even if the world was her friends that cared for her so dearly.
My heart sank as I pushed back the need to talk to Jade, I took my paws off the set of drawers and returned back to the kneeling position. It hurt more than I thought it would, like I was giving up a dire need to help someone else that I cared about. 'I guess my talk with Jade will just have to wait for another day' I thought to myself.
As I positioned myself in the natural pet pose, Nicole followed my actions, taking her hands off the piece of furniture and turning herself towards me, she kept in a kneeling pose as she stared at me, her body still trembling.
"Did you want to go outside? I mean, we can if you want to?" She asked again, unable to hide what she was feeling in her tone.
I shook my head.
"Oh, really? Well, what do you want to do instead?" Her voice regained a little bit of control, "I'm not sure if there is anything good on TV, but Harriet and Beth do own Monopoly."
I wanted to laugh, it was clear that she had no idea how to interact with a pet girl despite being one for a while now. It didn't occur to her that I was as bound as she had been previously, unable to talk, unable to move my fingers and not allowed to walk on my own two feet.
Instead, I did what I imagined a pet would do at that moment. I crawled forwards and placed my head against her body, pressing lightly into her chest to gain some attention from her. It was an awkward and strange feeling, I had been so used to wearing latex and restraints as a ponygirl, but being a pet was completely different. Being a pony felt so powerful and so elegant, I felt like I got the attention from my clients by just being in their presence, being a pet was the complete opposite. I must admit I felt cute and I knew that was because the suit highlighted some of the parts of my body, but it seemed harder to interact as a pet. I guessed part of the reason was due to being on my hands and knees most of the time, all of my limbs were in constant use whilst a pony only used two of their hooves at a time, leaving their hands free to interact with the person they were with.
This meant I couldn't sway the person near me, I couldn't guide them with my bound hands and had to use my entire body to get my message across. I didn't know if Nicole knew any better, being a pet for that long she must have picked up some tricks to 'speak' to Beth or Harriet. This was the best I could do for the moment, lunging forwards towards the young woman and placing my body against hers, I couldn't even bring my arms around her as she was squatting down, fearing I would push the poor girl over and potentially cause some damage.
"Awww, you're sweet," she replied, rubbing her hands up and down my back.
It seemed to have made her forget about being outside and talking with the other humans, being this close I could hear her heartbeat begin to settle, it was no longer banging against the ribcage and slowly, very slowly calmed down to a more normal rate.
I must admit, it did feel good to calm Nicole down. I guess this was part of the punishment Harriet and Beth had in store for me. They must have known how scared she would have been outside of her shell, how much having full access to her human form and requiring to act that way. They must have known that I had to spend some of my time as a pet to calm her nerves, not being able to speak or use parts of my body that I probably took for granted. I would have to be there for her in the most purest form possible.
It became clear to me that they also must have known how reluctant she would have been to leave the safety of the house, a stark contrast to my desire to leave and be in the comfort of my friends. Despite all my attention being driven to the beautiful woman in front of me, the need to speak to Jade never ceased, I guess it felt as if I was on borrowed time, that I needed to say what was on my mind to my partner before I had to meet with my mother once again. I owed it to Harriet to at least see her one last time, the problem was that I had no idea how that was going to end.
I wanted to cry, but it felt as if that was all I did. I cried yesterday when I was caught in the suit, that hurt more than anything else and I also cried the day before when Abigail treated me like I was her child. She easily turned on her natural maternal side and I couldn't help but bawl my eyes out, it was a sensation I had hardly ever felt before.
However, within the arms of the more timid girl in front of me; a new sensation began to rise. It was an entirely different and unique feeling that I couldn't describe in actual words, as if the warmth of Nicole's hands had travelled through the suit and radiated throughout my body, at the same time it felt like she was scratching an itch that I never knew I had. There was no way else I could explain what I was feeling.
"Do you like that?" Nicole's voice hummed as she asked, realising she was resting her head on top of mine as her hands travelled up and down my back.
I nodded slowly, not quite understanding the sensation I was feeling, but knowing I was enjoying it regardless.
"That's good."
Her voice was so calm and soothing, somehow the complete opposite of the girl she was before, hiding behind the furniture along with me, if I didn't know better I would have said I was with a completely different person, I almost felt the need to look up at whoever I was with just to make sure. I kept completely still the entire time as her hands travelled over sensitive areas all over my back, it was a satisfying, pleasurable feeling that surprisingly wasn't sexual.
My brain felt as if it was melting, all I could think about was what the girl was doing to me. Quickly, my back was finished with the attention and I began moving my body to lie down in front of the girl, allowing her to move onto my front, even going as far as to put my paws on my chest to give her full access.
"Someone loves her scratches," she hummed in a playful voice.
This time she moved her hands up and down my sides in unison, almost in a similar way to giving me a massage, I didn't care what she did as I loved every moment of it. I was still curious why I was feeling this way, from what I could tell this suit was almost identical to the ones ponygirls wore and I've been touched by human hands hundreds of times, I never got the same feeling as I had at that moment.
Maybe it was something actually in the suit? Maybe it was somehow an allergic reaction or rash from the material and Nicole was actually scratching the itch caused by it? Or perhaps it was a completely different material altogether that gave the wearer this exact feeling when being touched?
I was curious to know, but it felt as if my brain was far too gone to care, all that mattered to me at that moment was being held and touched by the woman next to me, the woman who was oddly calm despite being a nervous wreck just moments before. Somehow it came clear why she was so confident with me despite the state my brain was in, it was because she wasn't interacting with a human, that was the problem she had. She enjoyed the company of humans when she was a pet; that was obvious, but in her human form she never saw me as another person, she saw me as the same creature she had spent the last few months being.
Not only that, she knew exactly how to take care of me, how to comfort me and exactly where to touch me in this form for maximum pleasure. In her mind, she took on the role she saw Harriet and Beth take on everyday, mimicking how they spoke to her and how they touched her body. It was beautiful in a way, she was taking control of the situation using her memories of the people she cared about most.
That was the last intelligent thought I had before my brain completely dissolved, she moved her hand onto my stomach, scratching it lightly in a circle pattern as she hummed a quiet melody to herself. I was lost in a world of pleasure and body scratches.
Surprisingly, spending a day looking after a human pet was very similar to being with an actual pet. Shortly after Nicole finished with me and my brain went back to normal, she spent the day like a normal person. We cuddled up as she watched a film, she made us both lunch; which was the only time I had the mask removed, and I had to eat out of a bowl on the ground. She taught me pet gestures and how to move properly within the suit and afterwards we had a short nap on her bed as the world outside continued to go by.
I had no issues with anything that happened that day, it wasn't like I could complain anyways. My punishment was to spend the day as a pet and that was what I did. Having my human-side completely removed and treated the exact same way Nicole would have been. It took a few hours, but I began to understand why she enjoyed being a pet and why she preferred it over being a pony.
Being a pet was far less demanding, even if I had to spend the day with a client, it seemed like I could have done anything and they would have loved their time with me. Being a pony meant I had to take in the client's needs as well as my own, I couldn't have them take full control of me and at the same time I had to make sure they had a good time in my presence. I had to be strong, beautiful, attentive and Loyal, all whilst unable to interact on a human level. As a pet, none of that mattered. I could have been dismissive and stubborn like a cat and I would have still been loved, at the same time I could have been submissive and more needy like a dog and would have received the same results.
I guess Nicole enjoyed it because not much was expected of her, she did not need to have control of the situation, she did not have to pay attention to someone else's wants and needs. She just needed to be herself.
That knowledge soothed me somewhat, it was a calming fact that she was living her best life, it didn't matter if she was spending the day inside with Harriet or if she had disappeared for days, she was happy and she was loved.
I smiled underneath my mask at that thought as I heard her snore very lightly. It was mid-afternoon and spending the entire day as a human had taken its toll on the small woman. She was lying on her side with both of her arms around me with her hands resting just below my breast. I was more comfortable than I had ever been, I couldn't have been sure if that was because of the large bed we were in, or if it was the comfort Nicole brought me, but it wasn't strong enough comfort to fall back to sleep.
Another aspect I loved whilst being a pet was the ability to think properly. I couldn't explain it in detail but having my speech removed allowed me to think more, it gave me the time to fully process the events of the days prior with my mother, it also allowed me to think about how to incorporate the spin I wanted to try into my dressage routine. Whilst it was amazing to have a clear mind for once, it was a double-edged sword as I couldn't do anything else but think, it felt as if I was stuck in my brain and there was no way to leave. There was nothing human I could do to make it stop.
It made falling asleep very difficult and to make it worse, without the attention of the blonde-haired girl; I couldn't do anything else but think. My brain went over the events of the day prior over and over again until I struggled to even remember what my mother actually look like.
I remembered aching when I got home, trying my hardest to hide the bruise Saffron gave me… Was I hiding it then? Or was it later when my mother appeared?
Then the doorbell rang and I put on the robe… or was it a large shirt? Hang on… was I wearing clothes? I must have been, I wouldn't have answered the door naked, wouldn't I? Oh god! Please don't say my own mother saw me naked… No, that would be impossible.
As I was deep in thought, I heard what I guess was the front door of the guesthouse open and close. Was that real? Or could I have imagined that? It seemed very possible that I would have imagined such a sound, it felt like I was losing my mind. I perked my head up, trying not to move too much to avoid waking the sleeping girl next to me.
…Footsteps… There were a few, must just be one person. Quietly, the person seemed to walk around the bottom floor, they weren't being stealthy, but at the same time they weren't making as much noise as an unaware person would. It wasn't long before the footsteps travelled to the bottom of the stairs and began slowly making their way up, giving me a short amount of time to try and figure out who it could have been.
I was sure if it was Harriet or Beth, they would have made themselves more known to us and wouldn't be as quiet as this person was, this was their home after all. It could have been either Abigail or Saffron, coming to see if I was still okay after the weekend of bliss and agony. Then again, it was impossible to rule out Chloe, Lily or Jade as I saw them pretty much everyday, the fact I wasn't home Sunday could have caused them worry. The doorknob clicked as fingers wrapped around the outside of the door, almost eerily it opened much more slowly than someone just casually walking through, it was as slow as possible to stop any noise to come from the hinges, causing the door to open almost silently.
My heart skipped a beat as the familiar and friendly face of Jade peeked through the gap between the two rooms. First of all I was glad to see the woman I considered to be my partner, but then the reality of the situation hit me, I was unable to communicate with her in any way.
"Nicole?" She said in a whispering tone, "Are you awake? Who is that with you?"
She didn't know it was me in the suit, I guess in this position it might have been hard to see the face of the woman holding me and it was only logical to assume she was locked within the suit.
She walked in a little further, "Is that Heather sleeping next to you?"
I shook my head.
"Well, everyone else is outside, who is it?"
She stopped immediately the moment it was clear who was behind me, at this point Jade was in the middle of the room; right between the now open door and the bed we were lying on. Her mouth opened as if to say something, but almost immediately closed as no words followed, she was unsure of what she was seeing, the person who was in the suit was behind the pet and had her arms around them. Her gaze travelled from the sleeping girl next to me, bouncing back to a much more intense stare at the helpless pet in front of her.
"H-Heather?" She asked, more confused than before.
I remained still for a short while, before confirming her suspicions with a nod.
"Oh wow… that really is you," she walked closer and knelt down beside the bed, keeping her eyes fixated on mine and realising the familiar features that were now bound behind the mask. It was so quiet, not a single sound could be heard from outside, the quiet snoring of the girl next to me was almost mute compared to the pounding of my heart in my chest.
How could I explain everything to her? Why I was locked in the suit meant for someone else? Why I wasn't home yesterday? Why I was being punished by the two older women?
She looked down at my body, gently placing a hand on my side, "Are… are you okay?"
The familiar feeling from before travelled through my body, it felt so good where she was touching, however this time it was far less intense than when Nicole was doing the same action. This time it felt warm and caring, it meant much more to me than any other forms of pleasure I had felt in these last few days.
I nodded once again. There was so much to talk about with her, I was sure I could have spoken for hours if I could only have the mask removed.
She gave me a soft smile before wrapping her arms around me, being very careful to not touch the snoozing girl behind me, "I am so glad you are okay," she said, in a relieved whisper.
I… I guess this will have to do. I might not have been able to talk to her about the hundreds of thoughts going through my mind but atleast I had the warmth of her body next to me and her relief that I was well. Understanding that words were not going to be shared at this moment, I returned the hug, placing my paws gently on the back of her neck.
"I can't wait to hear how you got yourself in this mess," she chuckled quietly.
