Jan was pleased, but not surprised. Girls were all the same. That's what made them so deliciously beautiful and desirable. She ran her hands tenderly over both moist silken backs, and felt the slight tremors of pleasure that her caresses had caused in the girls. Girls responded so wonderfully to girls.

After the hours of bondage, her touches had been like an oasis to Pamela and Donna, and Jan had heard the faint "ohhhh" from both throats.

Pamela and Donna were now in- stilled with a much more fervent dedication towards Jan than if she had not hurt them. She who giveth also taketh away. Jan's status was now all important. She was everything to Pamela and
