It was a sort of portable cage, made of stiff, heavy wire, about two feet wide, four feet long, and two feet high, the bottom covered with clean straw. Reluctantly (but fearing the alternative) I stepped into this thing and crouched down while they closed

and fastened the top down. To my surprise, Roger snapped two stout locks around the wires, sealing the top down. "There!" He beamed, "Locked in all safe and sound. No need to worry about any unwelcome visitors in there now!"

"But who'll keep the keys?" Sylvia asked, looking at me with interest as I crouched there, caged, feminized and near-naked.

"Wait a minute!" Claire suddenly sprang up, her eyes smouldering with some wicked inspiration, "Let me think... Yes! That's it!" She turned to our hosts, "Do you have a couple pairs of handcuffs and two short key-chains?"

for?!!

"Yes," Roger considered carefully, "But whatever

"I'll help you get them and explain on the way," She said, eagerly leading them out of the bedroom, "Back in a sec, Girls!"

Alone with me, Mavis and Sylvia lounged back on the bed, regarding my captivity with amused interest.

"Quite a spot our Patty's gotten herself in, isn't it?" Mavis mused, "I wonder just what Kinky Claire has in mind for our girlfriend!"

"The poor thing!" Sylvia cooed with mock sympathy, Why it's so crowded in there that she can't even move her arms! They're just sort of stuck at her sides there. Well, she probably won't need them for anything-Oh, here's Claire!"

"It's even better than I'd hoped!" Claire was positively gloating as she bustled in with the nightieclad men. "Come on, Girls, help us move this cage!" "Where to?" Mavis asked, rising.

"The Greenhouse!"

I had noticed this large, glass-walled addition to the south side of the building earlier but made no note of it. Well, I could hardly have been expected to know I'd be spending the night there! But minutes later, the three strong girls and Roger handling the cage with ease, I was deposited on a knee-high platform in the middle of the humid, plant-filled room.

warm,

"I knew our patty would want to sleep someplace "Claire smirked, "What with her having so little

to wear and all. And I have a just dandy idea for keeping her safe!"

So saying, she produced two pairs of handcuffs, the keys to the two locks that secured my cage, two tiny alligator clips, two short key-chains, and two handcuff keys.

"Watch carefully, now," She said, "This is complicated so pay attention: I take one key-chain and place on it one key to a lock, one handcuff key, and one alligator clip. Then I fasten it closed and do likewise with the others."

"All right," Mavis admitted, "You've piqued our interest. You've got two rings, each of which has a key to one of those locks on Patty's cage, a handcuff key, and a spring-clip on it. Now what are you going to do with them?"

"Just this:" Claire explained, snaking her long, delicate fingers through the wires of my cage, "I'm putting them in the cage with Patty! One I clip to the back of her Teddy, right between her legs, like so.... There! The other, I clip to her pretty nose.... Like that! Now our Patty is keeper of the keys herself, and although she can't use them to get herself out, no one can get them unless she puts her pretty little nose and ass right up to the bars! Clever, eh?"

"I don't get it!" Sylvia complained, "What did you want the handcuffs for? I mean I was just telling Mavis that Patty's arms are already pinned so tightly to her sides by the narrow cage that she can't get them out from under her!"

"The handcuffs," Claire informed her friends, "Are for Dave and Roger! Turn around, boys, and let me put them on you."

The two transvestites complied willingly while the rest of us looked on, puzzled. When each man had his wrists shackled behind him, Claire turned them around again and smiled at them with delight.

"Marvellous!" She gushed, "You look simply scrumptious! Off to bed now. And pleasant dreams!"

The two nightied men minced off obediently, while the rest of us just looked more bewildered than ever. But before they could ask any questions, Claire scurried over to Mavis and Stlvia and whispered something to them. Something that caused all three of them to double up laughing! As they started back upstairs, they turned and looked at me again, crouched in my little cage, wearing that ridiculous teddie, with one key chain hanging from my ass and another from my nose, with my breasts and bottom positively spilling out of the black silk
