EXTRACT FOR
Playing the Game
(Faye Valentine)

Gathered in the lobby of the Midnight Rendezvous motel with ten sex workers, five pimps and night clerk Sampson Malone bearing witness, Chloe and Lena faced each other in front of an ordained woman wearing the sexiest and skimpiest nun's costume any of them had ever seen.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we are gathered here this evening to join Chloe Matthews and Lena Metcalf in matrimony and servitude in a combined wedding and collaring ceremony that will see them dominating and submitting to each other for the rest of their lives. If anyone has any reason these two women should not be married and collared speak now or forever hold your peace." Giving those gathered a few moments to speak up and hearing nothing more than breathing, the officiate continued. "Very well, please open your respective boxes."

Flipping the silver latch on the front of a rectangular wooden box, Chloe and Lena opened their box revealing a beautiful titanium collar and cuff set and a sapphire and platinum wedding band.

"Do you, Lena Metcalf take Chloe Matthews to be your lawfully wedded wife?"

"I do."

"Do you promise to love, honor, cherish, dominate, and submit to them in sickness and in health for as long as you both shall live?"

"I do."

"Do you, Chloe Matthews take Lena Metcalf to be your lawfully wedded wife?

"I do."

"Do you promise to love, honor, cherish, dominate, and submit to them in sickness and in health for as long as you both shall live?"

"I do."

"Lena, will you please place the ring on Chloe's left ring finger and holding her hand in your own give your promise to her," the officiate said.

Taking the ring out of the box, Lena slid the stunning band on her soon-to-be wife's finger and then gently held her hand. "The fitting of this ring with its unending circle, symbolizes my everlasting love for you. The placing of it on your finger is the fulfillment of my dreams and fantasies to have you as my friend, my love, my wife, to live as one forever," Lena said, repeating the words she spent the last three days memorizing.

"Chloe, will you place the ring on Lena's left ring finger and then holding her hand in yours give your promise to her," the officiate said.

Doing as asked, Chloe slid the band on her fiancé's finger and then held her hand. "The fitting of this ring with its unending circle, symbolizes my everlasting love for you. The placing of it on your finger is the fulfillment of my dreams and fantasies to have you as my friend, my love, my wife, to live as one forever."

"Lena, please place the cuffs on Chloe's wrists, ankles and waist."

Smiling, Lena removed the largest of the titanium cuffs which she placed around Chloe's waist. Using the hex-tipped screwdriver, she locked it together before doing the same to those placed around her fiancé's wrists and ankles.
