Glittering Gallows

Chapter 30

189 C Chapter 30 he second night after Heidi Gaynor’s arrival at the Randlord Mansion, Moagi Makgunda and Divine Kakudji watched the new arrival undressing for bed in the bedroom of her quarters. The images were pornographic, yet the men watched them deadpan. The previous night they had made their inaugural voyeurism of her. But they hadn’t seen much to stimulate their interests. Returning from an exerting tour of the Voortrekker Monument and its museum, she had removed her clothes, thrown herself on the bed and slept on the bedspread in her underwear. On noticing that she was fast asleep, Moagi and Divine called it a day and made a date for the morrow. Now, the second night, they were watching her in the premier’s residential office at the back of the mansion. Sipping a cup of coffee, the billionaire sat tacit in a padded chair, his eyes shifting from one screen to the other, the hungry eyes of a man keen to observe every detail on the girl’s figure. The Congolese stood beside him like a tree stump, Heidi’s salacious figure and tendencies mesmerising him. Heidi appeared on two twenty-one inch monitors mounted in the wall, and a thirty-two inch plasma screen on a desk. Three hidden CCTV cameras spied on Heidi in her bedroom. On the three monitors in the office, the two men saw her frontal and side images. She removed her clothes almost sensuously as though she was an amateur stripper aware of the eyes on her, draping them one after the other on the backrest of a bedside chair. Nude except for a lacy panty, she sat on a corner of the bed, her posture forlorn. But through her almond, innocent and inviting eyes, she seemed to be staring directly at them. “You think she has discovered the camera, Divine?” “Only an expert can find the cameras, sir.” “What do you think she’s doing staring like that?” T 190 “Maybe she’s meditating, sir. She may be thinking how lucky she’s to work for a billionaire.” “How can you be sure she isn’t looking at the camera?” Just then she turned her face and looked at the wall. “Zoom her breasts,” Moagi instructed the dwarf without taking his eyes from a monitor. Divine Kakudji went to a computer station in a corner and poked a keyboard. A close-up of Heidi’s pear-shaped breasts filled the monitors. Moagi swallowed hard. “Why’s she seated there?” “I don’t understand Europeans, sir.” “How old do you think she is, Divine?” “She’s between sixteen and twenty-one, sir.” “Seventeen,” he said noncommittally. “The girl is still budding.” “But the region between her navel and pubic area is distended,” the dwarf observed. “You think she’s pregnant?” “She’s slept with too many men for someone her age.” “She’s fatally beautiful, but she’s far from a nun.” Heidi stood up. A close-up of her midsection filled the monitors. Divine Kakudji poked another set of commands on the keyboard and her full images appeared. She was touching and squeezing her bosom. She fell backwards on the bed and lay still, her feet on the floor, her hands fondling her breasts. After a while, a hand slid into the front part of her panties, her legs drawing apart. Her lips moved mournfully. Moagi Makgunda nodded satisfaction to himself. “She’s a girl of notorious tendencies,” the dwarf said from the computer station. “She’s undomesticated. The Devil wouldn’t admit her in Hell.” “Why, sir?” “She might spoil others or detract him.” Both laughed but quickly fell silent on seeing that she was wriggling out of her underwear. “She’s very pretty,” Divine Kakudji observed. “Her beauty makes me numb.” 191 On the screens, Heidi Gaynor flung her under garment towards the central camera, rose and crossed to a closet. The angle was blind to two cameras, but one spied on her unzipping one of her bags on a shelf in the closet. The two men waited quietly, curious. After a while she turned. She was carrying two longitudinal items, one purplish and crystal, the other black and segmented, and a small bottle of lotion. “What’s she carrying, sir?” “Two extra-large dildos and a lubricant, Divine. What’s wrong with your eyes?” Heidi Gaynor placed pillows against the headboard and propped...
