I thoroughly enjoyed this story. The premise is so simple, a young woman helps another dress in rubber and steel and then places her in inescapable bondage. I like the idea it is set at the turn of the last century, gives it a sense of piquancy, or even innocence perhaps, for me at least.
The story couldn't be more straightforward, we have read dozens like this. What sets it apart, for me, is the quality of the writing. The slow build-up of tension between the two women, as Reiko dresses her friend Hailey, piece by piece, is intimately detailed and measured, and I think is excellent. Soon Hailey is sealed in rubber and steel, completely helpless, unable to move an inch, and content.
It has been consensual up to the near the end, but there is an undercurrent that there might be a twist to come. While Hailey is clearly a submissive, has the butler, Mr. Thompson, who has been given instructions to take care of Hailey in Reiko's absence, ideas beyond his station? Perhaps i am reading too much into this, but then that is the sign of a good story.
Thank you for writing and posting this.
