With an ankle leash, a rope or leash is secured to the left ankle of a slave
girl.
Slave can be manipulated in a variety of ways by a skillful Master. One of the other boys, who carried a ten-foot length of rope, with one
end of the rope, crossed and tied together Donna’s ankles, while she was
still held on the shoulder of her captor. "Who is your master of the night?"
inquired Lehna’s captor of Lehna. He thrust her right wrist higher behind
her back. "You! You, Master!" she cried. "You are my master of the night!"
"Ankle leash her," said the lad who held Lehna.
Another lad tied a tether on her left ankle. The ankle leash is cruel.
It provides effective control of a girl. There is much that can be done
with such a leash, particularly in the control of a skillful master. Most
obviously, in an instant the girl may be thrown to his feet in a variety
of positions, over which he exercises choice. The lad who had captured
Donna, now that her ankles were tied, heaved her with a laugh over his
shoulder. She landed in the dirt behind him. She broke her fall, as best
she could, with her hands. The long end of the rope which bound her
ankles trailed her over his shoulder. Her captor took the end of the
rope from the lad who had bound her and, holding it about a foot from
her fastened ankles, pulled her feet some six inches into the air. She
was lying on her stomach. "There is my catch," he said. Then he said
to Donna, "Roll over." She rolled onto her back, her tied feet now held
about a foot off the ground by the rope. "There, my friends," beamed
her captor, "is my catch!" "A beauty!" said one of the boys. "Yes,
a beauty!" said her captor. He was proud of Donna. I did not blame him.
She was indeed beautiful. Donna was a marvelous catch. "I want her!"
said one of the lads. "First capture rights are mine," said the lad
who had caught Donna, "but I am generous, and will share my prize with
all of you!" There was hearty acclaim among the lads upon the receipt
of his welcome intelligence. Donna squirmed, but was helpless on her
back, her feet bound, held in the air by the captor’s tether. "What
of my prize?" demanded another lad, he who had caught Lehna by the
sleen pen. He now held her ankle leash, and stepped back, bowing and
displaying the half-stripped Lehna with an expansive gesture. She,
too, I was forced to admit, was a superb prize. Such boys did not have
such girls everyday. She was a warrior’s belonging.
