As if getting zapped and dragged nude through the mud wasn't enough?

"Punished?!?" Veronica spat out, her mud-caked paws flailing to her sides with disbelief. "You fucking psycho!"

Wet muck squelched as Veronica tried to lift herself off the ground towards Kerri. Her fists clenched tight in the paw mitts as they yearned to respond to the troubling revelation that her torment was far from over.

But just as Veronica's upper half emerged out of the rain-soaked mire, Kerri merely took one step back.

"Nuh-uh!" Kerri said as she harshly tugged on the rope that was tied between Veronica's bound ankles.

*Splash!*

Mud splattered on and around Veronica as the swift tug jerked her legs forward and caused her head and back to rejoin the soaked ground.

"Fucking...bitch!" Veronica spat mud as she shook her head, trying her best to whip the muddy strands of hair that obscured her limited vision. Once one eye was freed, she continued trying to raise herself, pressing her caked paws into the sinking ooze.

"Don't make me zap you again." Kerri threatened, "Besides, you keep acting up, and you're only gonna make it much, much worse for yourself."

How else can you make it worse! What the fuck?

Veronica stopped moving, but her arms shook. She breathed deeply, hoping to calm herself and avoid learning what else Kerri would be willing to do if she resisted any further.

Several deep exhales passed in the rain. Kerri remained idle and watched as Veronica stilled herself to reluctant compliance.

"Much better." Kerri nodded, then lifted the ankle rope. "Now for your punishment. We don't have much time."

"No, wait-"

Veronica's words were interrupted as Kerri resumed dragging her along the slick ground, away from the inviting cabin entrance, moving back into the darkness towards the side of the house.

As the muddy girl protested and slid on her back once more through the thick, sucking ooze, she warily eyed the gravel around the cabin and feared getting cut and scratched by the jagged rocks.

"Please stop! I can walk! Veronica begged. "I'll crawl! All fours like you sai-"

"Hush! Take your punishment with some dignity!"

Veronica placed her paws under her back and braced for the gravel, but as Kerri continued dragging her away from the light and back into the darkness, the soft and squishy ground gave way to smooth wood.

Squelching and sucking steps became crisp creaking as Kerri thudded her boots along a wooden surface. Soon, Veronica found her own legs and naked ass getting dragged onto the firm, yet smooth wet wood, a welcome but uneasy change in terrain.

Nervously looking around, hoping to gain a purchase of her surroundings, Veronica patted around the darkness, feeling the thick rubber pads on her mitts clomp along wooden deckboards that she was getting dragged along.

"What is this...-Ack!"

Veronica's words were dazzled by a painless flash of white light. She flinched and covered her face with crumpled paws while her vision was blinded. Her world, which had been nothing but darkness and mud, was overwhelmed with white afterimages.

No searing shock came after the blinding flash. Veronica slowly un-crumpled herself as she realized that the flash came from an actual light, a motion sensor one.

She felt the pull of the rope go slack, but the wooden boards beneath her kept shaking and vibrating as Kerri kept clomping her boots around Veronica's legs.

Veronica's vision slowly readjusted. Despite the floaters and the blobs that continued to swim in her vision, she confirmed that she was in the middle of a wooden deck. The flash that blinded her came from a pair of outdoor lights at the corner of the cabin. Two bulbs illuminated the darkness and revealed the streaks of rain still falling.

The rope that was secured between her ankles came unfurled. Veronica welcomed the feeling and tried to stretch her feet after being forced together, but soon she felt Kerri grab her ankles and spread them apart, forcing her legs wide.

"Woah, wait what!" Veronica protested as she bent her knee upward and tried to wrestle her ankle away from Kerri's fierce grip. She feverishly blinked, trying to regain her full vision as she looked down.

*Ka-chink!*

Oh fuck!

*Ka-chink!*

Right as her vision fully adjusted to the light, Veronica looked with horror at what Kerri had done.

The ropes that remained around each separate ankle were now clipped with carabiners on separate metal D-rings attached to the deck. Her legs were spread wide, and she had no way to run.

"No, no, no, no!" Veronica cried out towards Kerri, her legs clunking on the wood as she wiggled in protest. "Wha-what are you gonna do?!"

Veronica tried to push herself up into a seated pose, but as her elbows stretched out, she felt them both bump against a cold metal on their respective sides.

She flashed a glance at both her elbows and saw the culprits. Large stainless steel rings that were bolted into the deck. Rings that matched the ones that were attached to the cinch that secured around the wrists of her paw mitts.

Oh shit! She's about to totally bind-

Veronica opened her mouth to shriek, but instead of feeling her voice, she felt a tragically familiar jolt of searing heat erupt from her neck. Her spine arched off the wood as her body seized and convulsed from the sudden zap from the collar around her neck.

Agonized tears flowed out of Veronica's eyes once the pain stopped. It was the only movement she could muster as her paralyzed upper body collapsed onto the wooden deck, gasping as she lay motionless while Kerri stepped closer towards her limp arms.

"Don't move. You know what'll happen if you do." Kerri reached one hand toward Veronica's right wrist.

Please....Not like this.

Veronica could only sputter and drool while her hands uselessly twitched as she watched Kerri take her limp paw. She willed her muscles to resist. But it was no use.

*Ka-chink!*

"Ghhhhhhh...nooo...pleaseee." Veronica sloppily whimpered as Kerri stepped over her with one last carabiner clip in hand.

*Ka-chink!*

Veronica tasted the bitter and earthy flavour of her own mud-tinged tears as she looked down at her bound form. Swirled patterns of mud swirled all across her naked body as it was spread wide, each limb now bound to the deck.

Regaining sensation in her arms and legs, she uselessly wiggled them in their restraints while she was bound at each limb, spread wide, lying on her back.

Why is this happening?

Pleading eyes continued to track Kerri as she loosely looped the leash that was tied to Veronica's neck around a distant wooden baluster along the deck.

"Fuck you!" Veronica shouted, her only resistance now that each limb was restrained.

"I'll be back," Kerri replied with a smile before she stepped off the deck and disappeared into the darkness towards another side of the cabin.

Left alone to ruminate, Veronica's lips quivered as she continued struggling. Her mouth cursed and grunted while her limbs continued to shake and thump along the wooden boards.

Maybe if I pull hard enough, I can get one of the ropes to come loose?

Veronica stared at one of the metallic carabiner clips that was secured between the rings that held one of her paws. The steel threaded nut in the middle told her that struggling was no use. The flaked and scratched paint surrounding the clip showed her that she wasn't the first.

Shit. How many people has she done this to?

She nervously looked around, hoping to find something to aid her escape. Maybe to find a carabiner or D-ring that seemed to be loose or damaged.

Veronica hummed between her nervous exhales, then she noticed it: the carabiner on her left paw was worn down more than the others, and the ring it was clipped to only had two screws in the deck rather than four.

"C'mon...c'mon!" Veronica gritted her teeth as she flexed her left arm towards the air and willed any remaining strength she had, hoping that previous victims had somehow weakened either metal piece enough to bend or break.

*Thunk!*

Veronica dropped her left paw back on the deck, exhausted and disappointed. The worn-out clip didn't budge. She was still restrained, naked except for the heavy coat of ooze, the various shades of earth that had mixed and totally obscured her form from head to toe.

"Ugh." She groaned as she looked down and inspected her body.

The light buzzed loudly in the corner as it revealed to Veronica the full extent of what had happened to her body since she fell into the muddy ditch when she tried to escape the gas station.

She'd known- hell, she felt the entire ordeal. But that entire time, she was in the dark.

Ick...I'm literally COATED everywhere with mud!

Veronica, lying on her back, stared down at the mixed swirls of dark brown and black mud that marbled lines all over her naked form.

The muck was thinner at the top layer of her body. Her skin was still completely obscured, but the outline of her navel piercing and her stiffened nipples were visible, albeit muddy. The mud was thickest around her legs and ass, creating thick bunched layers of buttery ooze that reflected the different terrains she had been dragged through moments ago.

Tar black muck from the gas station ditch, chestnut colored clay from the mud between the grasses, hints of coppery red dirt, and speckles of grass blades along with traces of leaves her body had collected when she was dragged.

An earthy menagerie, all adhering to her lithe yet proportioned frame: slick ooze whipped all over her shapely, rounded breasts and painted a flattering smear all over her tight, hourglass form. Despite being coated with ooze, the mud didn't do much to hide her nudity.

Geez, it practically looks like a second skin.

She sighed. Getting covered with mud wasn't the worst thing she'd experienced so far, but it certainly wasn't her favorite. Getting abducted, stomped, and shocked was definitely much worse.

I'll take getting dirty any day over getting zapped again. Or..ick... dizzy from whatever date-rape drug she put on that first collar.

Ruminating didn't do her any favors. A lifetime of bad decisions finally led her to the moment she was bound to. Naked in the middle of nowhere, obeying to survive, wearing nothing but mud all over her tied-up body.

Taking a deep breath, Veronica looked up at the dark, cloudy nighttime sky.

How... the fuck am I gonna get out of this?

Can't fight her, at least not until I get rid of this... fucking shock collar!

Could someone hear me if I screamed loud enough?

What if...I...played along with it?

Veronica audibly shuddered at her last thought.

Hell no! This lady is making me go crazy now.

Veronica shook her head vigorously at herself.

But... it would probably work.

"No! Fucking... no... way." Veronica whispered, annoyed at her thoughts.

She looked back down at her mud-slathered body, hopeful that her mind could focus on the more pertinent problems. A tiny cloud escaped chattering lips as Veronica sighed, feeling self-conscious about her forced exposure

Grunting and wiggling against the wood for a moment, she tried her best to bend her knees or roll her body. Anything that could offer a fraction of modesty and shield her nudity. But it was no use. The rings held tight. They stayed silent as Veronica cursed at them for their part in keeping her naked body splayed out.

God, is it ever gonna stop raining? It's getting cold!

Even though she was technically covered with mud, her skin still prickled from the cold as droplets of water pelted her oozing shell and mixed with the layers of sludge. Instead of insulating her, the rain-loosened muck found itself seeping into her skin, ensuring that every inch and crevice was covered with runny mud.

Cabin looks pretty warm inside.....

Maybe...if I just pretend, even for a little?

Fuck...no! Stop it! I can't trust her!

She tried to dismiss the perilous idea. It was the hunger talking. Exhaustion too. She'd been deprived of many things even before she ran into Kerri. That's all it was. Right?

Yeah... I'm just being... delusional.

Veronica closed her eyes as she yawned. In the last 24 hours, she'd barely slept. Four hours at best. Maybe four and a half?

So... tired.

Opening her eyes again, she looked down at her sore, bound, and muddy body once more. An empty stomach growled in response to her disappointed look. The last meal she'd had was a continental breakfast. Stolen. All the way back in fucking Burbank.

Ugh... those bagels were so stale.

Another puff of frosty air escaped her mouth as she sighed while reminiscing. This time, the vapor cloud evoked the cravings of her dirty little habit.

Fuuuuuuuuck. A cigarette would be amazing right now.

It's been way too long since her last dose of sweet, crispy, mental release. She longed to surrender her senses. To feel the warm, mental blanket soothe all of her stress away.

God yesssss.

"Mmmhhmmm."

With droopy eyes, Veronica let out a breathy moan. Her mouth watered as she desperately craved any relief from the manic hell she'd been dealing with. Desperation was getting closer and closer, and self-control was never one of her strong suits.

I need it, I need something... anything! Fuck! I'll do... anything... just need release....

*Thud!*

Veronica yelped. Her mind was still hazy as she turned her head in the direction of the noise. The sound of domineering boots clodded on the wooden boards as Kerri returned to the spotlighted deck.

"You finally learning your place?" Kerri said with a grin as she kept a mischievous hand behind her back.

"What?"

"Is this bad dog trying to be good for me now?"

Veronica stared back with bewilderment as she tried to process a response. Kerri didn't move, standing right on the outskirts of the exterior light's limited radiance.

"What the hell are you talking about?" Veronica grunted.

"Hm. I like bratty dogs. You know?" Kerri shook her head as she stepped closer. The light revealed her new companion. A long garden hose that started at her hand and continued trailing behind as it slithered into the darkness behind her.

"Oh fuck me!"

That's gonna be so cold!

Veronica started tensing her body and gritting her teeth, anticipating the frosty deluge that was coming her way.

"Careful what you say now."

Kerri clodded along the boards and found her place standing at the other end of the deck. She faced Veronica's bound ankles, then revealed the handheld sprayer attached to the hose in her hand.

"No... please..." Veronica begged. Her face was wincing while her elbows and knees tried to buckle through the bindings.

With a satisfied grin, Kerri aimed the sprayer towards Veronica. The sprayer clicked twice and then-

*Kssssshhh!*

"Eeeeeeeeekkkk!" Veronica howled.

Her back arched, and her teeth clenched as Kerri blasted a jet of icy water all over her feet, painting slow lines that unraveled Veronica's raw pink skin that had been hidden under the mucky goo.

"F-f-fuck..." Veronica chattered through cloudy breaths as the precise jet of cold water continued to spray away the mud from her ankles.

The icy torrent stung as it slowly danced all around the bottom of Veronica's feet and prickled as it carefully swept between each and every toe. Her foot went numb from the cold, but the stinging pressure continued as Kerri aimed the water at her ankles.

Goddamint! Why is she doing it so slowly? '

Veronica shook uncontrollably as Kerri finished cleaning her feet, leaving them soaked and pink, then proceeded to spray towards Veronica's shins. The muddy girl gasped as loose splashes of ice water splashed around her coated, yet sensitive thighs.

"W-w-w-ait!" Veronica begged, "N-n-need-a--b-b-break!"

"No. We don't have all night." Kerri bluntly replied as she continued.

How does this shit keep getting worse!? '

Kerri methodically finished washing all the mud away from Veronica's shins. The bound girl chattered and protested, but her words dissolved into gasps and shudders as the unrelenting spray finished unraveling her pale shins and proceeded towards her knees and thighs.

Veronica steeled herself and took a deep breath.

Almost there! Almost clean... fuck its so cold!

She anticipated the blast of water getting closer up her thighs, but then, the jet changed course. It skittered away from her mostly cleaned knees and started spraying aimlessly on the wood between her exposed shins.

"By the way." Kerri muttered as the water pressure from the sprayer reduced to a limp trickle. "I heard you earlier."

"Wh-hat?" Veronica gulped as she regained her cloudy breath. "What are you talking about?"

"I heard you moan earlier." Kerri giggled.

"Huhhhh!?"

Shit! She's got it all wrong! '

"No! It-it wasn't like that!" Veronica protested. "I-"

*Kss-kss-kss-kss-kss*

With a clicking twist, Kerri turned the sprayer back on, now set to a pulsating jet spray that rhythmically sprayed on the wood beside Veronica's half-muddy legs.

"You don't have to lie. It's okay." Kerri said with hungry eyes. "I know what I heard."

Fuck! She thinks I'm into this! '

Unless she means the other moan? Wait...what am I even?- '

Veronica vigorously shook her head.

"No no no! I was thinking about ciga-"

*Kss-kss-kss-*

"-Aaaauughhhh!" Veronica breathlessly scream-shuddered as the pulsing jet warped and began pounding between her legs and buzzed ice water right on her mud-covered clit.

"Ohhhhhhhh my-"

God-fucking-damn...oh goooood!-

Veronica's eyes rolled to the back of her head as the water vigorously rubbed and lapped at her pussy.

Fuuuuckkkk it's been so long!-

The sudden sensation took her by surprise as she clenched every muscle in her body. A week of neglecting her own orgasms left her sensitive in ways she didn't anticipate.

Why does it feel so good?

"Ohhhhh shit!" Veronica panted.

Fuck, don't stop!

Wait, no ew! What is... oh goood!

"Sss-st--stop-p-p-please!!" Veronica shouted, both at herself and at Kerri.

She tried to protest, but her words shuddered to the pattern of the pulse that was suddenly igniting her arousal and warming her core despite the freezing assault between her legs.

God-fucking-damn... this feels so goood ughhh!-

Frantically wiggling her paws, Veronica tried to crumple her legs and stop the water from buzzing her clit. But her wiggling and writhing, combined with her uncontrolled moans, seemed to motivate Kerri.

"Told you. I know what I heard."

Nooooooo! It's not like that!-

Unless it really was the first one!-

Stop! You're just confused!

Once I cum I can think clearer!

Wait, no! Stop it!

Veronica tried to resist but only wound up moaning louder, which earned a hearty chuckle from her tormentor. Though as much as she hated Kerri, in that moment, she couldn't deny the warmth that was building as the pulsing continued to vibrate against her swollen clit.

Why is my body reacting like this?

Confused tears crested around Veronica's muddy eyelids. She wanted to stop the mental unraveling, the confusion at her own arousal. She hoped to continue fighting against whatever was being thrown her way.

I just need a break!-

Just need to let go... let it happen.-

Fuck I can't do it!-

But the longer Kerri continued steadily directing the pulsating jet of water at her clit, the more her mind started to relent.

It's gonna feel so much better once I let myself cum!

Just do it! It's been so long!

I can't! She won't do this to me!-

"C'mon girl. You know you like it." Kerri jibed. "Good dogs get treats, you know?"

Veronica pathetically whimpered while she shook her head at Kerri. Little did her captor know that she was shaking her head at herself, too.

Bullshit!

Even if it feels so good...

Wait what, no!

I can't fucking come now!

Veronica cringed at herself, but she couldn't deny the creeping feeling of heat radiating from her core. She'd been pent up, and the desire for release was getting enticingly close. That feeling of warmth, the sensation of surrender. The clarity and sense of peace that could come after if she just decided to let it go.

Would she even notice?-

Of course she would! Don't do it!-

But god, I just want it all to be over!

She shuddered at the idea, but the more she allowed her thoughts, the more her inhibitions began to take over.

If I played along, she'd probably let me go-

"Auuugh!" Veronica squealed as Kerri increased the pressure.

"I didn't consider the idea of you enjoying your punishment." Kerri chuckled. "I picked good."

"Fuck-ugh!"

Veronica's conflicted moans interrupted her protest as her pink-skinned lower half quivered in their restraints. The uninterrupted jet of water had thoroughly washed her crotch and the surrounding area, leaving her sensitive pink pussy in full view as it blossomed around the wet rosy skin between her legs.

Everything above her exposed crotch was still covered with thick mud. Water splashes had created tiny patches of clean skin around the sides of her stomach, but Veronica was still mostly unrecognizable as she strained tight against the water and her own urges.

Still, her worries only grew as the icy sensation began to feel refreshingly cool against her body, which was only getting warmer and warmer.

Fuuuuuckkk I can't- I can't hold it anymore!!

She was dangerously close, and the resistance to her whims was weakening as her body continued to heat up against the pulsing invasion.

Don't do it! Not like this!

Gritting her teeth, Veronica tried to shift her pelvis in any direction to avoid the pointed deluge against her clit. But as she shifted and arched her back, Kerri simply adjusted her aim with a chuckle.

Unfortunately for Veronica, arching her back just gave the jet a better angle as it buzzed on her needy clit.

Fuuuu-ck... ohh... fuck!

Her toes curled against the deck. Then, her pathetic symphony of moans, grunts, and whimpers went silent. Nothing mattered anymore except for the relief that came from surrender.

I can't take it anymore!

Fuck fuck fuck I'm gonna let it happen!

I NEED THIS!

Relaxation was brief as Veronica finally let go. All the pent-up tension from the past couple of days was already too much to bear. Escape was all she cared about, and now, she learned just how far she'd be willing to go to do so.

"Ohf-"

Veronica choked back a gasp as she felt the warm pulse crest over her body as her legs locked tight.

Right as Veronica opened her mouth to shriek the tune of her crashing climax-

*Click*

The pulsing jet disappeared from her radiating clit.

*Gluuuush*

"Fuuc-gaaaaah-fff--fuck!" Veronica choked and spat as her orgasm got interrupted by a torrent of water that immediately filled her mouth.

WHAT THE FUCK?

I WAS RIGHT THERE! I FELT IT!

I FUCKING KNEW IT! THIS FUCKING-

Kerri cackled as she continued spraying water at Veronica's face.

"Noooo-you-fuck," Veronica gasped, then spewed a mouthful of water, "BITCH!"

Continuing to spit water out of her mouth, Veronica blinked feverishly as trails of mud ran down from her caked hair and painted lines across her now-clean but defeated face.

I was so close.

Kerri adjusted the spray of water and washed the rest of Veronica's hair, revealing the crimson shag until the lines of water ran clear around the miserable woman's face.

"What the fuck!" Veronica shouted.

"Let me remind you, this was supposed to be a punishment," Kerri continued. "I didn't anticipate that this dog would be a horny one, though."

"You were literally shooting on my clit! Fucking- gaugh"

Kerri responded with a blast to Veronica's mouth.

"Clearly this dog needs a lesson in self-control too!" Kerri chuckled as she stopped spraying her mouth.

Veronica spat and coughed water. She tried to spit in Kerri's direction, but the woman just stepped back.

"Unless you want to stay bound like this for the whole night, you best cut that out!"

Bitch.

Veronica huffed but remained silent as Kerri shifted the sprayer and started cleaning off her muddy breasts.

With more strained and cloudy breaths, Veronica tried to still herself as Kerri swept icy jets across her hardened nipples. The sensation started warming her back up, but the spite from her interrupted orgasm kept her centered as Kerri continued and finished cleaning off and unraveling her perk, pink nipples.

Intentionally avoiding Veronica's still throbbing clit, Kerri finished spraying off the rest of the mud from the splayed woman's body. Veronica coughed and spat repeatedly as she was washed, but the sensation was a relief.

Her body was still hot from the tease and barely-appreciable climax, making the bath more bearable, but as her pale skin revealed itself once the mud was washed off, her self-consciousness resurfaced.

"Can I get a towel...or something?" Veronica shivered as her wet, pale body glowed in the light.

"You will once you're inside. Stay here. I'll be back." Kerri said.

The hose and sprayer clunked on the deck as Kerri stepped away from Veronica and entered the cabin from a side door that connected to the deck.

Stay? Where the fuck can I go?

Veronica wiggled her restrained limbs as she lay there in anticipation of what else was coming her way. She looked down at herself and winced, taking in the sight of her full frontal nudity just spread out so lewdly to the elements. Her navel piercing practically twinkled as the outdoor light buzzed steadily from the side and illuminated her soaked form.

Hearing footsteps, Veronica turned and watched as Kerri returned to the deck from inside the cabin. In one hand, Kerri held a ragged towel. In the other, she held more collars that resembled the one around her neck.

Shit. One shock collar wasn't enough?

"Before we go inside, I'm going to lay out some ground rules."

Veronica stared back with no reply as Kerri approached her tied ankles.

"Dogs walk on all fours. From now on, you will do the same." Kerri said as she draped the towel on her own shoulder.

"You already know what these do. Do I need to explain or show you again?" Kerri said as she secured a shock collar around Veronica's ankle.

*Ka-chink!*

Veronica weakly shook her head in reply.

"Good dog!"

Ugh... fuck off.

*Ka-chink!*

Kerri rubbed her hands after securing a collar around the other ankle, then moved up towards Veronica's bound wrists.

"I've been very tolerant tonight, but starting tomorrow. You will no longer speak. Dogs don't talk."

"You're fucking-" Veronica barked back, but paused after Kerri motioned for the shock collar remote in her pocket.

Bitch.

After their momentary standoff, Kerri resumed securing a shock collar around Veronica's left wrist, slightly below the paw mitt.

*Ka-chink!*

Veronica wanted to spit on Kerri as the tall woman stepped over her naked, wet body, but as she collected the saliva in her cheek, she paused and decided to swallow it. Resistance was futile for now, and she had to find other ways to fight back or wait until she could find any gaps she could use to escape.

Is that the only remote she has for all these collars?

*Ka-chink!*

"Now, I'm going to unhook you from the rings," Kerri said as she reached for the leash and unlooped it from the baluster.

"Be a good dog. Follow my lead unless you want all five of those collars shocking you at once."

A searing sensation flashed in Veronica's mind after the threat, making her flinch at the idea.

Ick, that one might really do some damage.

Veronica hesitated but eventually gave a small nod of approval, accepting her place amid the heightened stakes of her current situation. She felt a flash of sadness that made her eyes water, but she swallowed her fears as best as she could. Compliance was going to be her only way to survive.

She'll let her guard down eventually. I think.

I hope.

Slowly moving as she kept a watchful eye on Veronica, Kerri unclasped the carabiner that bound Veronica's right wrist before moving down and unclasping the clip that was attached to her right ankle.

Grunting with relief, Veronica slowly rotated her liberated limbs.

Kerri continued until the rest of the carabiners were unclasped, leaving Veronica free from the bindings that had held her to the wooden deck.

"Ok, up!" Kerri said as she moved around Veronica and softly tugged on the leash.

Veronica tried to slowly shift her sore body, but Kerri continued pulling.

"Fucking- give me a second!' Veronica protested.

Lying bare and spread on the deck, Veronica found each new movement sluggish as her blood flow returned to her arms and legs. She tried to roll to her side to facilitate an easier transition for her new four-legged walk

"Ugh." Veronica moaned as the wooden boards bit into her knees as she rolled.

After a moment, Veronica finally got into position, standing on all four limbs, wearing only a scowl on her face and the piercings around her body as she waited for Kerri to beckon her to move into the cabin.

"Ok. Let's go." Kerri walked along the deck and slowly led a naked, wet Veronica behind her as they padded along the wooden deck towards the cabin door.

Creaking open, Kerri stepped into the cabin, and shortly after, Veronica followed. Her achy knees were relieved to enter a room that wasn't soaked with rainwater as the delicate skin met the soft interior carpet. But the large crate covered with a blanket in the corner of the living room they entered provided an eerie omen of what was coming.

Beats having to sleep in the rain outside, I guess.

Before Veronica could continue looking around, Kerri dropped the leash.

"OK, stay!"

Do I have any other options?

"Good dog. Now, here-" Kerri grabbed the towel on her shoulder and tossed it on the flooring in front of Veronica.

"Dry yourself off."

Veronica stared at the ragged towel scrunched up on the floor.

"Uh, how am I-" Veronica asked as she gestured with her nose at her paw mitts.

"Like a dog, rub yourself onto it until you're no longer tracking water everywhere."

Oh right. Great.

For another minute, Veronica stared at Kerri until her sense of self-preservation took over her pride. She slowly lowered her head and shoulders toward the towel on the floor.

Ugh, I feel like a fucking idiot.

Annoyed sighs from Veronica and small chuckles from Kerri echoed in the cabin as Veronica rubbed and rolled her face and naked body against the towel on the floor.

"Good dog. Keep doing that until I get back."

Veronica swore quietly as Kerri stepped out of view. Every instinct told her to run. Book it for the door out back. But her gaze was drawn to the shock collars fastened around her wrists and ankles. Memories of her intense agony from earlier returned. The feeling of her muscles crumpling, the excruciating pain, all from the single collar, made her flinch.

Pretty sure she could literally kill me with all of these combined.

She took note of the doors and windows that she could see, but Veronica ultimately decided against running, for now. Maybe once Kerri went to bed? Unless she really was a ghost or something.

With a bitter chuckle, Veronica sat on her nude rear and picked up the towel with her paw-mitted hands and started hand drying. The two paws diligently rolled the off-white fabric against each leg before she moved to rub the towel against her head and rubbed it all over her crimson hair.

After a moment of drying her head, she started drying her torso, but as she heard Kerri's footsteps approaching, Veronica tossed the towel back on the floor. Drying tendrils of red whipped around her face as she rushed to a crouching pose on the towel.

"Got a busy day tomorrow. You're gonna need something in your system." Kerri said as she returned, with two metallic dog bowls in her hands.

Before Veronica could react, Kerri placed the two bowls down a couple feet in front of her. One was filled with water, the other filled with dog kibbles.

Fucking... Ewww... Why am I even surprised?

"Thanks." Veronica groaned.

"Don't forget. Dogs don't tal-"

"You said tomorrow! You bitc-"

Kerri swiftly stepped back and raised the shock collar remote toward Veronica, forcing the nude woman to freeze in place.

"I know what I said."

Maintaining her distance, Kerri used her boot to push the bowl of kibble closer towards Veronica.

"You have ten minutes to eat and drink before bed."

Veronica stared at the bowls and scowled as she looked back up at Kerri, who was leaning on her side against a couch.

"That's gonna be the only food and drink you're getting. If you're obedient, though, I'll get you a treat."

Veronica felt an anomalous flicker of excitement within herself.

Treat?

Wait... ick! Why did I?... It's probably gonna be more dog stuff.

But... what if... it wasn't?

No! Stop it! This stuff is fucking weird! Just-

"Clock's ticking, you know?" Kerri muttered, snapping Veronica out of her mental dispute.

Don't trust her, but play along.

Taking a deep breath, Veronica approached the bowls on all fours. She lowered her head towards the one filled with water. Sniffing to check and avoid the mistake she had made earlier at the gas station.

Smells like water. I guess.

Cool water touched her tongue as she extended it and tentatively lapped in the bowl. The water was expectedly cold and relieved her parched throat, but her cheeks started feeling warm as she heard the animalistic, echoing sounds of her mouth slurping water in the quiet living room interior.

Ugh. I literally sound like a fucking dog.

Each slurp was a slow sound that echoed in the cabin. The more she heard the wet noise, the more Veronica visualized herself. Standing on her knees and paws like a dog, head bowed into a bowl, dressed only with her collars and piercings. She felt a growing sense of shame, but her flickering thoughts returned.

Maybe she would take better care of me if I played along?

As the thought circled in her mind, Veronica felt a traitorous heat pulse from between her legs.

It's not weird if I play along. Nobody else would know.

Veronica paused slurping, and caught a glimpse of her own reflection staring back at her from the bowl. She saw her sunken and glassy eyes, her plump red lips, and her messy red hair. It was the same look she had seen the first time she had looked at her own naked reflection on her laptop screen.

It was the face that asked to be used. Begged to be seen as nothing more than a slut. And now, it was staring back at her again.

It wouldn't be the first time I played along.

That's so different though!

This lady is... something else...

Chills erupted all over Veronica's body as she tried to fight her confused urges.

Stop! Stop it! This isn't turning me on!

I'm confused, desperate, and delusional!

I just need a distraction! I need-

Veronica's eyes lock on the bowl of kibble beside her water bowl.

Well, that will definitely take my mind off things.

Closing her eyes, Veronica took a deep breath and dipped her head into the bowl of kibble. Reluctantly crunching as she ate the dry dog food, she tried to focus her mind on the horrible food as a way to pacify her confusing state of arousal.

Veronica huffed and grunted as she chewed. She was grateful for the mental reset but bitter for the abhorrent taste.

"Ick!' Veronica vocalized as she swallowed a dry bite.

Moving back to the water bowl, Veronica slowly slurped a sip, trying her best to avoid her reflection.

"Ok. That's enough for tonight." Kerri said.

Veronica grimaced, trying her best to wash down the remaining trace of kibble in her mouth with her last slurp.

Ughh, that was fucking awful.

"Back up!" Kerri commanded.

Veronica didn't hesitate to shift backwards on all fours. The humiliation of her own thoughts betraying her, along with the act that compelled her to do so, left a more pungent aftertaste than the dog food she had just eaten.

"Ok. Now come, this way."

Kerri tugged on the leash and guided a reluctant yet confused Veronica toward the large, rectangular dog cage covered with a blanket in the corner section of the living room. It looked spacious enough for a German Shepherd, but for Veronica's average height and skinny frame, it was gonna be a tight fit.

Like a twisted magician, Kerri swiftly pulled the blanket cover off the metal crate, revealing the mostly empty interior. Afterwards, the metal door sang a shrill squeak as Kerri opened it.

"Here's your new home!" Kerri chuckled as she gestured a hand into the open cage.

Veronica eyed the inside as she stood there, warily scanning the sterile interior. It contained a black plastic floorpan and a flattened white pillow that had sweat stains. Hopefully.

Ewwwwwwwww.

Raising a brow at her crazed captor, Veronica pitifully looked up at Kerri.

"If you'd prefer to sleep in the mud outside, be my guest!" Kerri threatened as she stood beside the crate.

Ugh. It's not the worst... but fuck... I hope it doesn't stink, at least.

With one paw, Veronica took a step in the cage. The rubber pad on her paw mitt audibly tapped as she did. She lowered her head and prepared to duck it in, but paused as her head crossed the small metal doorway.

Last chance. Once I go in there-

"Plop your ass in there now unless you want to get zapped and thrown out in the mud!"

Flinching from the phantom shock around her neck, Veronica yipped then hastily crawled into her cage.

*Ka-chunk!*

"Atta-girl." Kerri smiled, then pushed the remaining cord from the leash she held into one of the slats, tossing the rest into the cage with Veronica.

The leash fell on Veronica's back while she was on all fours in her cramped accommodation.

"What are you gonna do to me tomorrow? Veronica asked as she awkwardly shuffled in her enclosure.

Her knees skidded along the plastic floorpan while she waited for a response. Then, two paws flipped the pillow over and found relief as the other side didn't have any stains.

"Well, first, we're gonna go for a walk in the morning," Kerri replied while moving boxes around the room. "Hopefully the rain stops so it can dry up a little, although you don't seem to mind having a mud bath-"

"I don't like mud!" Veronica rolled in the cage and lay her back against the pillow as she protested.

Trying to find a position that didn't make her back and neck ache, Veronica shifted her crumpled legs and restricted elbows as she lay on her back. A metallic grid dug into her shoulder as she moved one arm to cover her breasts.

Her other paw moved across her stomach and shielded her pink pussy that her bent legs couldn't cover.

She watched Kerri approach and move a large cardboard box labeled "dog toys" right beside her cage. Veronica scowled at Kerri the nearer she got, but turned her attention towards the box as Kerri stepped away.

"Don't fret too much. We're doing some... training tomorrow." Kerri said while flicking off lights in the room."

Lovely. I don't imagine we'll be playing fetch.

"You've been a real feisty dog. Need to make sure I can tire you out properly."

Veronica shook her head in response to Kerri's taunts. However, she was more focused on the contents of the labeled box beside her. She tried to peek inside the box using the hole in the handle.

What kind of stuff is actually in there? Hopefully just balls or squeaky toys if she's really keeping up the whole dog thing.

As Kerri continued flicking light switches, the room grew darker. Veronica squinted through the metal grate, focusing on a label she could partially see before the overhead light above the cage was switched off.

Cmon, I can see... almost read it from here. U-C-K...Duck?

"All my other dogs before you were quite weak. But you... You've got a lot of energy-"

Ohhh, I think it says duck machine? Like a robot duck?

"I'm excited to see how much... endurance you have-"

Wait. That's not a "d"... OH FUCK!

"So make sure you get some sleep now." Kerri chuckled.

Then the overhead light switched off, leaving Veronica in the dark just as she was enlightened to the next stage of her torment.
