Slave strips

"Clasp your hands behind the back of your neck," I said, "and do not interfer." "What are you doing?" she asked. "Kneel up, off your heels," I said. "What are you doing?" she asked. "This garment you are wearing," I sadi, "what is, in effect, a charka, I am shortening and transforming into two slave strips," I drew the long strip before the cord in front back over the cord so that it would no longer hang midway, or about midway, between her knees and ankles but was now about eighteen inches long. The garment then looped below her body. I then cut the garment a bit behind and below the cord in front. I then moved her about and treated the garment similarly in the back, drawing the strip back over the cord so that it was now only about eighteen inches long, and then cutting it off a bit below and behind the cord. She now wore two slave strips, each about eighteen inches long, one over the cord in front, one over it in back.

"Face me," I said. She obeyed. "What have you done?" she asked. "Exactly what you think I have done," I said "You have removed nether shielding from me!" she said. "Yes ," I said. "Restore it," she said. "Quickly!. There is enough left of the cloth! Please!" She gasped. I had thrown the remaing portion of the cloth in to the fire. She watched it burn, in dismay. "Do you feel vullnerable!" I asked. "Yes!" she said. "In such ways may one increase the passion of a female," I said. She shuddered. "You are aware,of course," I said, "that these pieces of cloth might be pulled away, easily." "Yes!" she said. "Keep your hands clasped behind the back of your neck," I said. "Now what are you doing!" she cried. "In the future," I said, "the cord will be tied in this fashion, or in some equivalent fashion." She moaned, looking down. I had refastened it in a simple bowknot, a sort of knot which on Gor, in certain contexts, as in the present context, is spoken of as a slave knot. It is called that, I think, because it is sometimes prescribed by masters for the fastening of slave garments. Its advantage, of course, is that it may be easily undone, by anyone. It is fastened at the left side of the girl's waist, where it is handy for a right-handed male, facing her. "Now," I said, "it is possible not only to remove the pieces of cloth singly, but, if one wishes, one may easily, with a casual tug, remove the cord and, with it, both cloths together, simultaneously, expeditiously." "Stripping me!" she said. "Keep your hands clasped behind the back of your neck," I said. "Yes."
