Wonder Woman: The Return of Kane
by marat
Chapter Three
Pain.
Injury and pain. These were constant companions to the helpless Amazon girl in her torment.
Once Jason and Valdez, her massive foes, had sufficiently revived from their sexual bliss, they returned to the sobbing, chained Princess. Jason grabbed the links running between her wrists and pulled the hopeless Wonder Woman to her feet. Valdez clapped one of his huge arms around her chest to restrain her. Jonas slapped her face, seeking to restore her to consciousness, lightly at first, then harder, recalling her to the land of her agony. Once she was again aware of her tormentors, they returned this woman to her status of plaything.
It was only a short while before Valdez realised that it would not be necessary to forcibly control the Amazon. Her head down, her long black hair obscuring the dried blood and cum that stained her face and mouth, and her shoulders slumping forward, the once-mighty Wonder Woman showed herself to these men as nothing more than the beaten, degraded woman that she had become.
Thus it was that the two fell to fondling, grasping, and caressing her perfect body, tearing at the red-and-gold breastplate, ripping it further. Her golden belt was askew; its elevated perch for the golden eagle that guarded her chest was now at her side, resting on her wonderfully rounded hip. She had gone to her knees. But as the two powerful men lowered themselves to her, and pressed themselves against her, Liddy returned from the midnight errand. Unhappy at the results of that task, he was furious to begin with. When he saw the condition of his captive, he shouted, ‘What the HELL are you doing?’ awakening the two figures to his presence. When he saw Wonder Woman, spattered with blood and cum across her face and down her thighs, kneeling between his henchmen, Liddy was furious. ‘What have you done?!!?’ he screamed, as he rushed to the captive, seemingly to protect her.
Kane entered the room, surprised by Liddy’s shouts, and wearing on his arm a blonde with a sculpted figure. Originally, this had been another of the perquisites that his job under Liddy had brought, and Audra LeVelle’s qualities were very clearly pronounced in the shoulderless orange-and-black minidress she was wearing. Her shoulder-length hair was fashionably curled and it framed her striking good looks admirably. Her shoulders, revealed by her outfit, were smooth and sensually curved, drawing the eyes of anyone who made her acquaintance naturally from their tanned luxuriance to her beguiling cleavage. But it was her hips and thighs that were her greatest asset. They curved sensuously from her narrow waist to a flawless roundness; her dress clung tightly to those arcing curves deliciously, the horizontal folds of the material looking like ripples extending downward from her waist. Although Kane became the center of attention whenever he showed up at the fundraiser or a White House function, thanks in part to Audra’s physical assets, he had learned that she was intelligent and ambitious, and that she looked out for his interests, for she saw them as coinciding with her own.
Liddy was right up against the chests of the two men who towered over him, but it was clear that he was in control of the situation. Small beads of sweat formed on his head and glimmered in the ceiling lights. Kane couldn’t hear what was being said, but the attitude of the three men clearly showed Gordon’s fury, and his command of this state of affairs. Below them, and to Gordon’s right, knelt the pathetic object of the Champion of All Women, broken, beaten, and crumpled on her knees.
But even in that attitude, it was clear who the figure was. Audra whispered to Kane, ‘Is that WONDER WOMAN?’ Even before he could answer, she quickly removed herself from his arm and ran to the side of the heroine. Taking the Princess’ chin in her hands, she raised the Amazon’s head to face her own. Tears formed almost immediately in her eyes as she sought something—a handkerchief, a Kleenex—to wipe the victim’s face. Audra turned to Kane. ‘What’s been going on here?’ she whispered hoarsely.
Kane was taken aback by Wonder Woman’s appearance. It was not simply the broken attitude of her figure that surprised him. Before he had left with Liddy, Kane had noticed that the Amazon was no longer even attempting to defend herself adequately against her attackers. It was with some shock that he realised that the drug he had introduced, Ludovicalamene, was probably crucial in her inability to prevent the attack. He couldn’t let Liddy know about this part of his experiment.
Kane rushed forward with a handkerchief drawn from his jacket pocket. He handed it to Audra, who began as best she could to remove the signs of Wonder Woman’s defeat. Kane looked at Liddy, who had sent Jason and Valdez on their way, their collective tail between their legs.
Gordon said softly to Kane, ‘This wasn’t supposed to happen. The plan… I… never intended this.’
‘We left her alone, chained… with them,’ Kane said. ‘We should have expected….’
‘I should have expected this,’ Gordon interrupted, drawing himself up. His tone changed. ‘You can’t expect two Neanderthals to exercise restraint. It’s a miracle they remembered not to…’ he suddenly stopped.
Kane looked at his boss. ‘“Not to” what?’
Liddy paused for a long moment. Finally, he said, ‘You don’t have a Need to Know for that yet. And I clearly can’t reveal that to you now.’ He glanced at Audra.
Audra looked up at the two men in blue suits. ‘Don’t you dare talk about me as if I weren’t in the room.’ Then she returned to cleaning the Amazon, talking to her softly, trying to comfort her.
Gordon looked at his two companions. ‘Let’s get her out of here.’ When he had seen the condition of his captive, Liddy had been worried about whether he would be able to bring his plan to completion. Her treatment at the hands of Jason and Valdez, and the evidence of sexual penetration on her thighs and face, raised in him a fear that an opportunity had been lost. But when he had confronted the two men, and, when their dread of the consequences of his displeasure became clear, he believed that they had not vaginally penetrated the superheroine. Still, any damage done to her ability to undertake her role caused him great apprehension, lest the timetable have to be redone. As Kane and Audra lifted the Amazon Princess to her feet and snaked their heads beneath her arms to carry her from the arena, Liddy stood back and watched.
Wonder Woman moved slowly, her naked ass shifting from side to side as she moved with excruciating slowness toward the exit. He looked for signs indicating the penetration that his men had effected, but saw none. All he saw were cum stains running down the back of those still round and flawless thighs and which marred the perfect beauty of her round and muscular cheeks. As he bent to pick up her starry tights, his two cohorts helped the defeated woman from the room, all three oblivious to his presence, to his staring at the beaten Princess, to the small smile that curled the corner of his lip. He would yet demonstrate his superiority to ALL women.
Wonder Woman sat in what appeared to be a clinic. She sat on a soft leather chair, and around her glass cases displayed everything from swabs and band-aids to various cardboard boxes holding medical supplies. Across from her, the desk lamp on a metal writing table provided the only illumination in the room. In the dim light, Audra sat nearby.
The Amazon Princess was fully clothed again, but the other visible signs of her ordeal had not been removed. Liddy had said that, before removing them, she should have a medical person check her. Kane and Audra had agreed, and Audra said that it would be better for her to remain with the Amazon during the examination, if only for moral support.
Audra looked at the heroine who, throughout her own lifetime, had served as more than a model, more than an inspiration, for her. The smeared blood and cum was less noticeable on her face, but, even in the poorly lighted room, it was conspicuous. The beaten Amazon Maid sat with her hands folded on her lap and her head down. Her chains hung loosely in front of her red leather boots. Audra could still see the smears of the men’s cum on her thighs. Her uniform moved ever so slightly as the Amazon breathed, its tightness accentuating her femininity. The tears in her breastplate allowed small observable glimpses of her breasts and even permitted her round, pink aureola to show through. Audra wanted to spare her heroine that humiliation, to run across the room and pull the tattered strands of satin across the offending sight of those private parts of her body. But she knew that, right now, Wonder Woman wanted to be alone with her thoughts. She had told Audra so when the two had entered the room and the young girl had attempted to remove the heroine’s uniform in preparation for her examination. There had been no struggle, just quiet, firm words from Wonder Woman.
‘I’ll be over here if you need anything,’ Audra had told the Champion.
‘Thank you. You’re very kind.’
Down the hall, Liddy spoke to the doctor who would examine the heroine. ‘She is NOT to be cleaned up, Doctor,’ Liddy was saying. ‘Right now, she is defeated and degraded, and, for the next hour, it is necessary that she remain in that frame of mind.’
‘I don’t underst-…’ the doctor began.
‘You don’t have to. But what you must understand is that, as part of your examination, I want you to do two things. First, make sure she has not had semen deposited in the last thirty-six hours. And secondly, I want you to harvest her eggs.’
‘Wha-what??’
‘I want you to inspect for semen deposit since the night before last, and I want you to remove a number of her eggs.’
At this point, Kane came down the hall, having left Audra moments earlier. Gordon’s voice rose as he greeted his protégé, ‘Well, is she taken care of?’
Kane nodded. ‘Gordon, you’re going to have to tell me more about your plans. I need to have an interview with Wonder Woman. There are some things that happened last night that I just can’t understand….’
‘But you’re the Wonder Woman expert. If you don’t understand them, then who would? If you do talk with her, you’ll have to give me a full briefing afterwards.’
Kane started. There it was again. Gordon wanted everything he knew in exchange for the favours he had provided: the job, the prestige of working for the President, the perks, Audra. The more he came to understand how Liddy worked, the less he liked his own place in this scheme of things. He felt like he had sold Manhattan Island for a few strings of beads.
‘All right,’ he lied.
‘You can see her right after Doctor Ganguly here finishes his examination. Will you need the lasso?’
‘I don’t think so. This is about her physical makeup, rather than her heritage or weaknesses.’ Lie piled upon lie.
‘You can go in to see her in about forty-five minutes. Right, Doctor?’ The white-clad physician nodded.
Liddy leaned against the wall. He was alone in the hallway.
Gordon had wanted Dr. Ganguly to handle Wonder Woman’s examination for a number of reasons. First of all, he was discreet. His background prior to his arrival in the United States was somewhat obscured, and he preferred working with people like that. If they had something to hide, then there was something he could use against them. The good doctor would do exactly as he wanted.
Secondly, he was a man. At this particular moment, Liddy understood that a woman physician would be more comforting for the Amazon girl. But right now, he didn’t want her comforted. He wanted to remind her that she was a victim, that she had been defeated by men. A male doctor performing this kind of intimate inspection would drive that point home again. He wanted Dr. Ganguly to make the point by being very intimate.
And thirdly, he didn’t want anyone getting too friendly with the Amazon right now. The easiest way to ensure that would be to keep her closed upon herself. He would allow Audra to be with her, but under no circumstances would he offer the opportunity for communication and comradeship. The doctor’s brusque and abrupt manner, what he considered a kind of professionalism, and his careful inspection of her most private parts, which Gordon had made clear was what he wanted, would force Wonder Woman to close in upon herself, to push away those on the outside. She would not simply be reminded of her defeat and humiliation, but she would have to live with it for as long as he determined that it should go on.
The treatment she had clearly received at the hands of the giants Jason and Valdez was what Kane had promised. Evidently, chaining her bracelets removed her strength and made her defenseless against the strength of men such as these. It was surprising that this weakness had not been similarly exploited by her enemies earlier.
It was a shame to miss the defeat of Wonder Woman. To see her broken, to see her plead, to beg… Men. That would have been perfect. After years of humbling men, to see the Amazon herself humbled. At last she had received her due. He had imagined it; he had imagined her face, looking up at him, begging…. He could see her on her knees before her conqueror. He saw the shame on her face; the pride that had always been part of her character had been rubbed in her face. And the uniform: The eagle that was her breastplate, the stars of her tights, the golden belt and lasso, her tiara, all had been degraded. No longer could she claim that it symbolised the honour that was America, for she herself had been dishonoured. In his dreams, and in his imagination now, he could see the costume swelling with each breath, the tights clinging to her hips. Oh, how he wished he could have seen it, to demonstrate his mastery to this mere woman who dared call herself Wonder Woman!
Gordon’s reverie was interrupted by the return of Dr. Ganguly. He seemed hesitant in approaching the Chief of White House Security. ‘What is it?’ he snapped.
‘You asked me to determine whether sperm had been deposited in the last thirty-six hours,’ the doctor said quietly.
‘Yes, yes.’
‘There was… there was residue from…’
Gordon cut him off angrily. ‘Those Bastards! They told me that they hadn’t touched her cunt. I’ll see to it….’
‘Mr. Liddy? It wasn’t from this morning. It was… well, it was old.’
‘What do you mean, old? How old?’
‘From about thirty-six hours ago.’
Liddy thought, From when we first took her. Kane fucked her. I told him not to take her that way. I told him not to fuck her cunt. Well, he’s going to be fucked royally when I get through reaming his ass.
He brusquely turned from the doctor to make his way down the hall, when the white-coated researcher added to his report. ‘There were no eggs.’
‘What?’ Liddy hissed.
Wonder Woman sat with Kane in his office. The tension in her body resulting from Dr. Ganguly’s examination was clear in her attitude. Her body was pressed together and hunched over. Formerly squeezed shut, her eyes were now open but unfocussed.
Audra had been rushed from the room, nearly in tears, as she had watched the Amazon Princess lose the last shreds of her dignity under the doctor’s ministrations. Now Kane proceeded with his interrogation, ever the scholar, trying to fill in some blank spots in his information.
‘You can be wounded by bullets if you fail to block them with your bracelets. Right?’
‘Yes,’ the still-beleaguered heroine replied blankly.
‘Under that circumstance, you would bleed from your wound?’
‘Yes.’
‘But I had never seen you bleed from a beating. Not even a bruise. How was it that you were bleeding from both your nose and your mouth as a result of the pounding you underwent last night?’
There was hardly any expression in her voice. She simply stared at her chains as she replied. ‘Amazons never sustain a bruise on their skin. It is one of the gifts we received from the gods.’ At the mention of this special relationship, the Amazon sighed. ‘Part of that relationship is the imperviousness of our skin to normal physical abuse. Wh-when… an Amazon… loses her composure… the pride and…’ here she stopped briefly, then continued even more quietly, ‘dignity… of her race, then… that gift is withdrawn.’ Tears rolled down her cheeks.
Kane picked up on what she had told him immediately. ‘In other words, bleeding from a physical beating isn’t so much physical as religious, or symbolic.’
‘Y-yes. Blood is a symbol of the loss of our favour with the gods.’
Kane wrote his notes on this revelation for several moments in silence. When he had finished, he looked up. ‘This is a lot different from the last time I interrogated you. I bet you miss Penelope.’
The image of her roommate crashed through the Princess’ mind. She hadn’t seen her for days, ever since her capture those long hours ago. Still staring at her chains, she saw her lover before her. ‘Yes,’ she said, almost inaudibly.
The door behind her crashed open, and Liddy stood in the doorway, fuming. ‘Why don’t you have any eggs, Amazon?’
‘Gordon, I need a few more minutes here. Can’t this wait?’
‘And YOU!! You son of a bitch, don’t you even ask for anything!’ Turning back to the startled prisoner, her grabbed her by her bare arms and pulled her to her feet. ‘Tell me, you slut, why don’t you have any eggs?’ Pushing her against the wall, he continued shouting, ‘What kind of freak are you?’
It took several minutes for Gordon to calm down and for some sort of calm to return to the room. Liddy was furious at Kane. The latter found his attention divided between the glares directed at him by his boss and the information now offered by the Amazon. Obviously, Gordon was displeased with his handling of the case. But, for the moment, he was listening to the Princess.
‘Amazons are not fertile year-round. If they were, it would be impossible for our society to function and survive. Within a certain age range, Amazons are fertile on what on your calendar is the first Sunday after the first full moon after the beginning of the Spring Equinox.’ As she spoke about her culture and her sisters, Wonder Woman’s spirits lifted. Her sense of specialness returned to her, and she talked with greater confidence. Kane noticed it. So too, to his dismay, did Liddy.
She continued. ‘The problem is that you can’t correctly check the moon-sun cycle involved except every 312½ years, but the last time that was possible the moon didn’t rise, and the calendar your civilisation was using was nine days off.’
Liddy looked at Kane. ‘What the hell is she talking about?’
‘I don’t know.’ Yet another lie. ‘But what she’s telling you is that she can’t get pregnant except one day a year. And this isn’t it.’ He looked at the now-composed Princess. “Is it?’
‘That’s right.’
Liddy stormed from the room. ‘Get your ass in my office in fifteen minutes,’ he told Kane.
Outside the door, Kane saw Audra standing in the hall. He gestured for her to enter. As she did so, he told her, ‘Take her to your dressing room and get her showered and cleaned up.’
Audra led the heroine, now striding with much of her old confidence, from the room. Kane stood next to the door as they left. When Wonder Woman was in front of him, he said softly, ‘Easter.’
She looked at him, shocked. She saw the small smile on his face and knew he had lied to his superior.
As she left the room, Kane closed the door. He thought to himself, There are certain advantages to not using the magic lasso.
‘Why did you fuck her vaginally? I told you not to. Why did you violate a direct order from me?’ Liddy was very angry. Kane saw him struggling to maintain control as these questions literally seethed from him.
‘You didn’t tell me. At least, not right at that moment. And now that you mention it, I admit that you did tell me not to have intercourse… in that way, but… I guess I forgot. I was so excited about finally….’
‘Bullshit! You forgot.’ Gordon’s voice took on a scurrilous tone. ‘Someone with all your education doesn’t forget. Unless you wanted to.’
‘Gordon, listen.’ Kane hoped he didn’t sound as desperate as he felt. ‘You have no idea what it’s like to have her at your mercy. Unable to resist. Defeated. It’s simply beyond what any man would be capable of. And I had months in prison to make up for. She was the one who was responsible for my going to jail. I had her exactly where I wanted her. The Champion of All Women was mine for the plucking.’ Kane hoped it was convincing. He kept talking.
Gordon stopped listening and remembered his own fantasies. The satin costume, the leather boots, the gold belt and tiara rushed to his consciousness. As he listened to Kane, he remembered what dreams he had had. He felt ashamed as he remembered his recent failure of Will outside the spectators’ box. Yes, this woman had that effect on him, too.
Wrapped in a towel, Wonder Woman stepped from the shower in the women’s locker room. All of the physical evidence of her degradation and defeat had been washed away. She saw that Audra had washed the signs from her uniform, as well. The patriotic costume was still damp when the Princess lifted it from the bench. The tears in the breastplate were also still to be seen, but it was clear that her blonde acquaintance had taken care to remove as much suggestion as possible of her earlier treatment.
She looked around the dressing room. It appeared to be not much more than a regular locker room, this one for women staff. It was empty, but there were plenty of signs of occupancy by a number of secretaries, orderlies, and messengers. As Diana Prince, she had seen women fill these roles for thirty years, since they had entered Government and military service in large numbers. The most surprising thing, she thought, was that, after thirty years, that was all they were still doing. Here, it was even more evident: The underground White House was very much a male preserve.
She wrapped the towel around her, padding in her bare feet around the room, then toward the door. The chains that took away her strength were silent, wrapped inside the towel. She felt their weight against her bare skin.
She opened one of the double doors that led to the hallway carefully and peered out. Audra was leaning against the wall. The blonde beauty smiled when she saw her. ‘Feel a bit better?’
‘Much.’
Audra straightened herself and entered the locker room through the other entry. The double doors swung shut behind the two women. ‘Thank you for cleaning my costume.’
‘That’s quite all right. It’s the least I could do. Are you sure you’re all right? Is there anything I can get for you?’
‘The key to these manacles would be nice,’ she said as she dropped the towel.
‘Gordon probably has that. But I’ll see what I can do.’
The Amazon saw that she wasn’t joking. ‘Why are you here? What do you do here?’
‘You’re sure Wonder Woman can’t be made pregnant?’
The question seemed to be filled more with disappointment than with anger. ‘Gordon, if what she said is true, and there’s every reason to believe it is—the Doctor said there were no eggs to harvest—then it can only happen on one day a year. Today isn’t it, and there’s some question about when it does fall on our calendar.’ Kane was back to being the Wonder Woman specialist.
‘What’s the point of all this?’ Kane knew Liddy had never answered this question before.
‘It was… an elaborate practical joke,’ Liddy smiled.
Kane just stared at him.
‘Look, there was some scientific investigation involved, too. Her Amazon constitution would stand up to any of the rigors of what I’m doing here. And there was an historical and, I guess, philosophical element. But the fact that it was Wonder Woman who would be involved gave it the element of irony.’
This was the closest his boss had ever come to confiding to him. Kane surmised that the failure to find the eggs made it possible to disclose at least this part of his plan. He figured the less he said, the better. He would let Liddy run on (he was known to do that sometimes anyway) and throw an appropriate question in when necessary.
‘What’s the science?’
‘The world is on the verge of a whole new technology. The British are actually a bit ahead of us on this, and I’m doing my bit to help us along. It had to do with helping infertile couples have children.’
Kane was surprised that Liddy would be involved in any kind of humanitarian enterprise. There had to be more to it. He raised a questioning eyebrow, hoping his boss would continue. He was not disappointed.
‘You take a sampling of eggs from the woman you wish to impregnate and you use a sample of her husband’s sperm to inseminate the eggs in a petrie dish. This would help couples who have no children and who have difficulty getting pregnant. But what we’re doing here is going further. Further than even the British have gone. We’ve discovered that you can take fully formed genetic material and place it in an egg after you’ve destroyed the native chromosomes. Then, you can create a life totally unrelated to the mother.’
Kane was never very good at science. He was, after all, a humanist, with a strong background in classical studies. But he didn’t like the way this was going. He looked quizzically at Liddy.
Gordon looked at his assistant, somewhat frustrated. ‘You can use ultraviolet light to destroy the chromosomes within the egg. Then, under a microscope, and using some newly designed equipment, you take genetic material from another source, say, another egg, or from a cell from someone else, and introduce it into the first egg. Voila, identical twins.’
‘Officially, I’m Charles’ companion.’ Audra looked a little embarrassed. ‘I’m not his mistress, if that’s what you’re thinking.’ ‘He’s a nice guy who has difficulty meeting girls. Here in Washington, he needs to have someone who will help get him noticed, but who will also offer advice about the do’s and don’ts of society. Believe me, he really needs it.’
‘He has always seemed earnest.’
‘That’s probably the best word to describe him. He means well, but sometimes he just doesn’t understand that, in the White House, his actions have great meaning. I’ve been working with him and I believe I’ve made some headway.’
‘What do you get out of it?’
‘I get noticed, too. He’s become very important in his corner of the White House, and, now, they’re even talking about giving me something special to do. I’ve heard them.’
‘Surely you know that Liddy and his men are very dangerous.’
‘Yes, they are. Maybe even more dangerous than you know.’ Audra stopped, thinking of the Amazon’s ordeal. ‘Or maybe youdo know how dangerous they can be.’ She looked at the floor for a moment, and then he continued. ‘I wish I could say or do something to take away what they did to you. You have… you…’ she searched for the right words to convey what she wanted to say.
Wonder Woman approached the slim blonde and put her hand on her shoulder. At the Princess’ soft touch, emotion spilled forth from the fashionably dressed young woman. She looked more like a child as tears ran down her face and her jaw quivered as words spilled out. ‘You have always been my hero, Wonder Woman, from as far back as I can remember. You made me want to be smart, and, believe it or not, I’m smart. Ask Charles. He’ll tell you. You made me want to accomplish something myself, not be beholden to some man. I still want to do that, and maybe someday I’ll be able to do it. But right now I need Charles to have access. We give each other access. People look at him because of me, and people listen to me because of him. I know that my looks are the reason why I’m where I am, but if I can use them to get the other things I want, then why not? Look at you. You’re the most beautiful woman in the world. And the strongest. And the wisest. Which do you think people think of first?’ She wrapped her arms around the lovely Amazon Maid, her face buried in Wonder Woman’s chest as she continued to weep. The Amazon Champion placed her hands flat against her back and pulled her toward her.
Audra continued, ‘I hate what they did to you. If I could kill them, I would.’
Wonder Woman led Audra to one of the benches in the locker room. Together they sat down, the young blonde beauty continuing her denunciation of Liddy and the men who tortured the heroine.
Wonder Woman pushed herself away from the girl. She placed her right hand under her chin and lifted her head. The beautiful Princess and the beautiful companion looked one another in the eyes. The inner strength of each fortified the other. The Amazon Champion understood that she could not let defeat lead to destruction. The young girl, at last so close to her lifelong hero, realised that there were many kinds of accomplishment, of heroism.
Gingerly, Audra drew her face close to the heroine’s. She kissed her lightly first on one cheek, and then on the other. It was done very slowly, as if she had to gear up her courage to bring herself to do it each time. Wonder Woman smiled a loving half-smile. She leaned forward and returned the kisses, one on each cheek. Then, they sat silently facing one another for some seconds.
‘You mentioned a historical irony.’
‘That was the part I really liked,’ Gordon literally had a gleam in his eye. ‘As you might expect, I wanted Wonder Woman to be the mother of this child, both in terms of egg-provider and in terms of carrying the child to term.’ His voice dropped when he concluded, ‘But I guess she can’t do that for us now.’
Kane sat up in his chair as he asked, ‘Who is the father?’ He didn’t expect Gordon to answer.
Liddy looked at his assistant for a moment. He saw what he thought was an excited curiosity. In fact, Kane knew that that appearance would likely get an answer to this crucial question. Liddy smiled and replied, ‘Do you know what is at 30 Klausenerstrasse in Magdeburg?’
‘Magdeburg? That’s East Germany. No, I have no idea. Some spy agency?’
‘That’s why I hire people like you. Inferring, deducing, drawing conclusions. Liberal Arts majors know how to think. Yes, it is a spy agency. In fact, it’s SMERSH Regional Headquarters.’
‘SMERSH? Soviet Counterintelligence?’
‘And do you know what was stored there until two years ago?
Kane was getting tired of Gordon’s game, but he couldn’t let him know that now that he was so close. He took on a vacant look (not to difficult since he had no idea where Liddy was going with this), shook his head, and held his hands out in front of him.
‘Two years ago, KGB Chief Yuri Andropov had the remains of a skeleton stored there burned. Totally destroyed, so that only a small section of skull and a couple of other bones were all that were left. This was done in total secrecy. But we knew about it. And we got a small sample of the skeletal DNA before they torched the remains.’ There was no question that Liddy was enjoying this.
Kane looked expectantly at his boss. ‘Wellll?’
‘These were the earthly remains of the greatest figure of the twentieth century, one of the greatest figures in all of human history.’
Even before Gordon finished his pronunciation, Kane’s eyes widened and the words Oh, no, flew through his mind. He knew enough about his boss to know who was being described in this way, in these glowing terms.
‘Adolf Hitler.’
Wonder Woman and Audra were entwined in one another’s arms. Each provided the other with the emotional strength that was needed at the moment. The chains that linked Wonder Woman’s bracelets were trapped between the two bodies that now pressed closer together. Audra pushed the taller Amazon to the carpeted floor of the dressing area, pushing her fingers through her pitch-black hair. The Princess’ hands lay flat against the smooth, tanned back of her partner, just above the orange trim that marked the top of her strapless minidress. The Princess lay on her back, her hands smoothly stroking the back and shoulders of the young woman who lay on top of her. With her hands in the luxuriant black mane that crowned the Amazon, Audra pulled the beautiful face toward her own. Their lips met in a crushing clinch as hours of emotion and years of devotion pent up in the blonde gushed out in a torrent, clear and right. For her part, Wonder Woman could do no other in her own emotional catharsis.
Audra’s tongue pushed deeper, deeper into her heroine’s mouth, and the two performed an intimate pas de deux, their juices mingling, their lips pressing hard against one another. As they kissed, the blonde girl’s tongue sought the back of Wonder Woman’s throat, feeling with an ecstasy she never imagined the smoothness of her teeth, the sensuality of the Princess’ own tongue, the eroticism of the ridges on the roof of her mouth. Everything about this seeking raised Audra’s sensual excitement to new, higher levels. The young woman’s hands crept down the sides of the Amazon Champion’s face, slowly, as if seeking to draw out all that was tangible and all that could be humanly perceived through her fingers and hands. Wonder Woman’s hands and arms crushed the smaller body to her own and again, the young girl sensed the Champion’s warmth and the softness, the muscularity and the femininity. Even through the soft, thin material of the dress she wore, Audra’s heightened sensibility took in the signs given off by the body of this woman as they embraced: The engorged breasts and stiffened nipples, the tightened muscles across her abdomen, the small movements of her hips against her own. Audra herself responded in kind, and when her partner began to pull the soft material of her dress down, revealing her smaller, but no less perfect, breasts, she aided the Amazon by pushing herself from the black-and-orange material like a monarch butterfly emerging from its chrysalis.
Soon the two naked bodies were pressing hard against one another, uninhibited, on the floor beneath the dressing bench. By now, Audra’s hands had moved to her partner’s torso. One grasped at Wonder Woman’s ample breast, but Audra’s small hand was inadequate to encompass that glorious globe. The other had made its way down the Princess’ back and stood poised at the top of her crack, sweeping in small arcs, taking on the sweat as it rolled into that cleft. Their mouths still joined, their breathing became harsher and more ragged as they sought sustaining breaths without releasing from the kiss that had gone on for minutes. Their bodies were bathed in sweat, which rolled across their torsos, shoulders, and legs in large droplets. Wonder Woman, less able to move her hands because of the constraining chains, continued to push against the tan, flawless skin of Audra’s back, the sheen of the sweat only serving to accentuate the seductive sensuousness of this taut and unblemished organ.
The only sound in the room was the breathing of the two heavenly creatures. The Amazon Princess lay with her left shoulder and the back of her left hip on the floor, bearing most of the weight of her collaborator. Her hands had successfully moved up to the shoulders and neck of the blonde beauty, also pulling up the links which were crushed between the bodies. Her fingers played among the golden strands of the girl’s hair, pushing her face tighter against her own. It seemed that one or the other would soon suffocate, as the harsh breaths became more frequent.
But Audra was not conscious of any sound. She had wrapped her long perfect legs around the muscular limbs of the Amazon Princess, spreading them easily to a point where she could reach into her partner. The wetness she felt there brought a sigh, an exhalation of such profound sweetness that Wonder Woman felt a genuine chill run down her spine. Freeing herself from the long-lasting kiss, and now stripped of the acrylic minidress, Audra’s petite form slid down the perspiring, muscular body of the Amazon Champion. As she did so, she pushed her fingers—first one, and finally three—deeper into the beautiful woman. Wonder Woman’s hands rested on the girl’s shoulders and her legs wrapped themselves around the body of her lover. She was stirred deeply as Audra flicked her now-protruding rosebud with her thumbnail. Before her lips enclosed that blooming organ, Audra withdrew her index finger to give a small squeeze to its bud.
The Amazon struggled to forestall the orgasm which was now crashing inside her, but was unable to do so as soon as the gentle lips and tongue of her blonde partner enclosed over her excited sex. No sooner had Audra entered her, the Amazon felt the sensuality and the warmth they had shared pour forth.
Audra didn’t move. Rather, it was her Amazon partner who shifted now, to take a position that allowed her to gratify the youth orally. In a smooth, easy motion, she quickly removed the girl’s skimpy black nylon panties. Wonder Woman allowed Audra to rest her head on her right thigh, while cocking her left leg in a triangular frame around that glorious feature. For her part, Wonder Woman likewise placed her head on the smaller but equally well-formed thigh of her partner. Then, using her tongue, lips, and teeth, the Champion reached deep into Audra’s feminine well, plucking at her sheath, brushing her clitoris, using her hands and fingernails to massage the blond Mound of Venus.
It was Audra’s turn to shudder in response to the chill that flooded through her. Wonder Woman’s technique, the product of two thousand years of Amazon ritual, brought first a stiffness to the young woman’s entire body, then a repose that she had rarely known. Audra’s blonde head reached back, her eyes tightly closed, and her arms stretched straight, like a cat preparing to rise. When she opened her eyes, though she could barely see, the young blonde slid her head softly along the tan, muscular thigh toward the junction that hid the font of honey and sweetness. Hidden beneath the Princess’ raven-black muff, the sweet odor filled the blonde girl’s nostrils, and her lips leapt upon the fissure, her tongue pressing inside the heroine. Her entire body was moving now, her upper torso pushing her mouth against the Amazon’s vagina, plunging her ever deeper, manipulating her lips and teeth against the powerless prisoner’s most sensitive area. Her lower torso responded to the Princess’ oral stimulations. The result was that she looked like a swimmer doing a dolphin-kick out of water, and the gyrations became increasingly frantic as she was pushed higher and higher by the Amazon’s ministrations and her own erotic imaginings. Shortly, she too would gush her sweetness upon her lover.
Following the shared initiation of love, the two lay embraced on the floor, soaked in sweat, and each still smelling and tasting the honeyed charms of the other. Wonder Woman placed one manacled hand into Audra’s golden crown and pulled her toward her. Once again their lips met, the first time just briefly, the second time, again merely briefly. The third time they joined Audra crushed herself to her heroine, again feeling the full sensuality of her partner. It was a moment she wanted never to end. This was the fulfillment of her most secret dreams.
Their lips parted after a long time. They continued to look deeply into one another’s eyes, first one, then the other, offering a small peck of a kiss. Wonder Woman gently blew across Audra’s brow, cooling her. Her wispy bangs lifted and fell in the air wafting across her face. She smiled. ‘What happened?’
‘We allowed ourselves to give vent to our emotions. What happened was what we let happen.’
‘I didn’t want…. I’ve never….’
‘I know. It’s nothing to feel guilty about.’
‘I don’t think I do.’
The Amazon Princess smiled at her friend. There was nothing else to be said.
A few moments later, they rose, and embraced again. Picking up their clothing, they moved toward the shower.
