Just finished chapter 22. I skipped commenting on a couple of parts, but to be fair I didn't really have much to say. They were fairly brutal, but that was and is required to really set the scene and the situation in place. Unless Jill knows for certain, due to it actually happening, that the punishments are this harsh, that the restraint is this constant, and the big punishment for being difficult is so terrible, she isn't really going to get and have the experience and time that she so clearly wants and desires.
Having said that, I did find some of the descriptions of the bondage contraptions hard to follow. The outline idea was clear enough, but I did not manage to visualise what was happening in more detail. But since I wasn't that into seeing her treated so harshly, while accepting that this is required to achieve the ends and set the scene, it didn't bother me.
Seeing the end of the week was good. All of that torment and suffering really did build up to a massive end point, but I do have to take issue with the point the angry Jill made, that she did all of this suffering "for her husband", since we all know she did it just as much, if not more so, for herself. Yes, she shares this life with her husband, but a lot of this is coming from and is driven by her. Not that this matters when she is that horny and angry *smirk*
I did enjoy jumping forward in time, and getting a sense of how life really works for all of them. The emotional toll of all of this is clear, but at the same time, this is exactly the life and approach that Jill really wants. I do wonder how they are going to balance her keeper starting to have more of a life outside of being a "full time" keeper is going to work. I don't see Jill wanting to cut back on her captivity time all that much, but at the same time these different things do need to be balanced and handled.
Still, it did make me giggle, seeing how little her friends at tennis cared about her jewellery *smirk*
