Her blush wasn\u2019t quite right, and her eyebrows needed just a little more work. She was very picky about her appearance.<\/p>\n<p>She inhaled sharply at the sound of the doorbell. Darren had arrived. She felt a surge of excitement flow through her.<\/p>\n<p>Where was he going to take her tonight? Would it be that expensive restaurant down on the river? She\u2019d given every indication that\u2019s where she wanted to go.<\/p>\n<p>Addison believed she was in for a really nice dinner. Afterwards they would probably go out for drinks. The only decision she would have to make before the night was over was whether or not she was going to put out for him.<\/p>\n<p>The doorbell rang again. Addison quickly rechecked her reflection in the mirror. It wasn\u2019t perfect, but it would have to do.<\/p>\n<p>She swept through her apartment to the door. She looked down at her dark pink dress, using her hands to brush the wrinkles away. Then she opened the door.<\/p>\n<p>She inhaled sharply as she took a step back. It was not Darren. It was someone she had not counted on seeing, nor did she wish to see. Oddly he was dressed as though he was prepared for a night on the town.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cStewart, what are you doing here?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have a date for tonight, remember?\u201d He smiled innocently at her.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe don\u2019t have a date, Stewart! Darren will be here any moment to pick me up. We\u2019re going to the Shoreline for supper.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOh, but we do have a date for tonight, Addison. I was the one who sent you that text.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat text?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe one that asked what restaurant you wanted to go to tonight.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Addison was stunned. \u201cTh-that was you?? But I thought\u2026 I thought that was Darren!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNope. I\u2019m the one who sent the text, Addison.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She glared angrily at him. \u201cYou asshole! You led me to believe you were Darren!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cC\u2019mon, Addison. Just one little date? I\u2019ll even take you to the Shoreline.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cStewart, I wouldn\u2019t date you if you were the last man on earth!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhy not? What\u2019s wrong with me?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEverything! Can\u2019t you tell??\u201d<\/p>\n<p>At first he looked disappointed. Then he began to get angry. \u201cDo you really mean that, Addison?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI certainly do, you bastard! Now my evening is ruined!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo, Addison. Your evening is about to get way more interesting. But then again, so is mine.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat\u2019s that smell?\u201d she asked in alarm, sniffing in his direction.<\/p>\n<p>She started to go back inside. That\u2019s when Stewart reached into his pocket and quickly pulled out a white cloth. He grabbed onto Addison before she could resist. Then he forced the cloth tight against her face.<\/p>\n<p>Addison tried to scream, only to be overcome by the fumes. Her legs instantly weakened as her eyes rolled. Then she collapsed in the doorway.<\/p>\n<p>Stewart carefully looked all around. Then he calmly told the unconscious form, \u201cIs this really the way you want to play it, darling? That\u2019s certainly fine by me. Besides, I have something I\u2019m just dying to show you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Stewart closed her front door. Then he scooped the young woman up in his arms. He calmly carried her out to his vehicle, smiling inwardly at what he had planned for their time together.<br \/>\n&#8212;<br \/>\nAddison moaned weakly. She shook her head, trying to clear the cobwebs. When she opened her eyes she had to blink in surprise.<\/p>\n<p>She had awakened in some sort of basement. She was lying flat on her back inside a narrow glass tank. Her arms were tied behind her back, making her uncomfortable as hell.<\/p>\n<p>Her ankles were tied together, her white heels no longer attached to her feet. She felt something round and metallic down at her bare feet. But she couldn\u2019t make out what it was.<\/p>\n<p>She shook her head as her senses tried to come back online. She vaguely remembered the date she was supposed to go on. She groggily called out, \u201cDarren?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A male voice replied, \u201cNo, Addison. It\u2019s Stewart; remember?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She found herself being pushed further inside the glass enclosure. There certainly wasn\u2019t very much room to wriggle around inside it. What the hell was this??<\/p>\n<p>She coughed before speaking again. \u201cStewart, what are you doing?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI decided to allow you to show me your Houdini tank escape act.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t have a Houdini \u2013 HEY!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The tank slowly started to tilt upward with her inside. When it was elevated enough Addison found herself slipping down along the glass. She slid all the way to the bottom where her feet came in contact with the floor.<\/p>\n<p>She just narrowly missed having her toes pinched by the metal ball in the tank with her. Her dark pink toenails stood out as she shuffled around on her feet. What the hell was Stewart doing to her??<\/p>\n<p>She panted for breath as the Houdini tank was stood upright. She looked out of the glass in alarm. She confirmed she was in some sort of basement, although it struck her as being more like a dungeon.<\/p>\n<p>She felt around with her bare feet. Then she looked down. There was definitely some sort of large, steel ball in the tank with her. What\u2019s more, it felt like her ankles had been secured to it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cStewart!! What the hell is going on?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBe with you in a minute, darling.\u201d It sounded like he was somewhere behind her.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCut the \u2018darling\u2019 crap, ok? I don\u2019t like you; remember? I never did!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou\u2019ve made that quite clear, Addison. So I\u2019ve decided to take this in another direction.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cStewart, get me the fuck out of here!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She heard something tap up at the top of the Houdini tank. Addison anxiously looked up. That\u2019s when she saw the end of a garden hose pointing down at her.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cStewart, what\u2019s going on? This isn\u2019t the least bit funny!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI never intended it to be.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhere the hell are you?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBe with you in a minute, darling. Just hooking up the garden hose.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCut the \u2018darling\u2019 crap \u2013 garden hose??!!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Addison heard the sound of a faucet being turned on. A moment later the hose above her began spewing water down on top of her head. She cried out in shock and anger as she pressed against the side of the tank in trying to avoid getting wet.<\/p>\n<p>It totally soaked her wavy, brown hair. She had two clips in back, pulling the strands clear of her face. But what really bothered her was the fact her pink dress was getting wet.<\/p>\n<p>She let out a scream of rage and indignation. \u201cStewart, damn you! Turn that fucking thing off! You\u2019re going to ruin my dress!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019d say that\u2019s the least of your worries, Addison.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She tried to shuffle around inside the tank. But there was very little room to maneuver. She was already starting to feel claustrophobic.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cStewart \u2013 SHIT!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She looked down with dismay. Water was accumulating at the bottom of the tank. It was almost covering her feet.<\/p>\n<p>The focus of her animosity walked around until he was standing in front of the glass tank facing her. She looked at him with a mixture of anger and fright. \u201cStewart, what the hell are you doing?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHaven\u2019t I made it obvious to you, darling? I told you; I\u2019ve decided to allow you to show me your Houdini tank escape act.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDamn you, Stewart; I\u2019ve got no \u2018escape act\u2019! Now get me out of here before my dress is ruined!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI told you: your dress is the least of your worries.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDamn you!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Addison let out a yelp as water began rising up her ankles. Her situation was becoming a lot more serious. She soon found herself panting heavily for breath.<\/p>\n<p>Addison struggled to compose herself. Then she held herself upright as she indignantly stated, \u201cStewart, this isn\u2019t funny.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNeither was turning me down for a date tonight. I decided the least you could do was to entertain me down here for the next few minutes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cStewart, I\u2019m not your fucking entertainment! Now get me out of here right this instant! The water\u2019s rising in here!\u201d By now it had started to climb her lower calves.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve watched you out at the resort pool, Addison. I\u2019ve seen you underwater holding your breath. All you have to do is hold it long enough to free yourself and climb out.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Addison frantically yanked on the ropes binding her wrists behind her back. \u201cStewart, I CAN\u2019T! You tied them way too tight!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cC\u2019mon, Addison. You\u2019re an independent woman, right? Surely you can get yourself out of some silly rope.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cStewart, get me out of here! You\u2019re going to ruin my \u2013 AAUUGGHH!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Addison looked down in horror. The lower part of her dress was now soaked. The water was quickly rising toward her knees.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cStewart, get me the hell out of here!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou\u2019ve made it abundantly clear how you feel about me, Addison. In the past you\u2019ve told me in no uncertain terms how you don\u2019t want my help. In fact, you don\u2019t want anything to do with me. So you can just get out of there by yourself.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cStewart, I CAN\u2019T!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She screamed from a mixture of rage and growing alarm. Her cry was muffled inside the tank. She looked down to see the water slowly rising up her dress past her knees.<\/p>\n<p>He sighed as he shook his head. \u201cI would have done anything for you, Addison. I would have given you the world.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGet me out of here!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cProve to me how independent you are. Prove to me you can get out of there by yourself.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Addison didn\u2019t want him to see her distress. But she was really becoming alarmed now. \u201cStewart, I\u2019m frightened!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhy? What is there for an independent woman like you to be frightened about?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSTEWARRRRRRRT!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Addison started hyperventilating as the water level continued to rise. She\u2019d shifted around enough so it wasn\u2019t splashing on her hair as much. But it was clearly on the rise, now climbing her upper legs.<\/p>\n<p>She gasped and whimpered as she looked down at her dress. It was starting to become translucent. She could just make out her legs through the soaked fabric.<\/p>\n<p>Once more she struggled with her wrists behind her back. But it was no use. They were secured much too tightly.<\/p>\n<p>There was only one option left to her. It galled her, but she had no other choice. She had to offer him anything he wanted. She had to talk him into letting her out of her glass prison.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cStewart, I\u2019m sorry. I\u2019ll go out with you, ok? I\u2026 I wasn\u2019t being myself back at my apartment.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOh, back there you made it quite clear how you feel about me, Addison. So I\u2019ve decided to see what you can do in the Houdini tank instead.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cStewart?? Help me out of here before I drown!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHelp yourself, darling.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf I\u2019m your darling then you\u2019ve got to help me!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo, darling. You\u2019re an independent woman; remember? So I\u2019m going to step back and let you do it all by yourself.\u201d And with that he took a couple steps back.<\/p>\n<p>Addison let out a cry as the water reached her crotch. Her pink dress was going to be ruined. She looked down at herself before letting out a wail of grief.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBetter get started on those wrists, Addison. The water\u2019s getting high in there.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cStewart, I didn\u2019t mean any of it! Get me out of here, ok?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDo it yourself, darling.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYOU TIED ME TOO TIGHTLY IN HERE, YOU ASSHOLE!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou can do it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cStewart, I CAN\u2019T!\u201d Then she paused before desperately adding, \u201cI LOVE you! Don\u2019t you love me too?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou don\u2019t really love me, Addison. You don\u2019t even want to go out on a date with me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve changed my mind, ok? I\u2019m a woman and I have that right! A woman has the right to change her mind, you know!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou\u2019ll change it right back once you get out of there. So go right ahead and free yourself. Show me how independent you are. Show me your escape act, darling.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSTEWARRRRRRT!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Addison gasped as the water slowly climbed her stomach. Now she could see her frilly white underwear through her soaked dress The Houdini tank was filling fast!<\/p>\n<p>Addison looked all around the basement. But she saw nothing that could save her. There was no one else to rescue her; she was all alone with Stewart.<\/p>\n<p>In growing panic she screamed again. He looked at her emotionlessly. Then he told her, \u201cYou\u2019re wasting time, Addison. If I were you I\u2019d get to work on that rope around your wrists. Then you\u2019ll have to reach down and free your ankles from that cannonball I put in there with you. It\u2019s tethering you to the bottom of the tank so you won\u2019t float up.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSTEWARRRRRT!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Addison struggled with her wrists again. She jerked her arms up and down behind her back as the water continued to rise. She gasped the moment it reached the bottom of her breasts.<\/p>\n<p>She began panting heavily as she wriggled and squirmed. The water was making her pink dress see-through. Now her flowery white bra was becoming visible.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cStewart, I can\u2019t\u2026 I can\u2019t catch my breath!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTake deep breaths, darling. You\u2019ll need them once the water rises above your head and takes away that last one\u2026 that is, unless you can hold your breath for a really long time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSTEWARRRRRT!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Addison screamed in growing terror. The water reached the top of her breasts, covering her impressive cleavage. Cool water kept rising inexorably toward her shoulders.<\/p>\n<p>Addison struggled with her footing. She found the cannonball with her feet. Then she clumsily climbed on. It gained her just enough additional height for the water level to fall back down below her breasts.<\/p>\n<p>She panted anxiously, her heart hammering in her chest. She stared at Stewart in growing terror. He didn\u2019t seem the least bit bothered she might drown. Maybe it was time to try something else.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cStewart, get me out of here and I\u2019ll suck your cock! I\u2019ll fuck you like you\u2019ve never been fucked before! Get me out of here before you make the biggest mistake of your life!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe biggest mistake of my life was developing feelings for you, Addison. I\u2019m sure other men would have also developed feelings for you in the years to come. I\u2019m simply sparing them from the heartbreak of you turning them all down.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSTEWART, YOU ASSHOLE! GET ME OUT OF HERE!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s not a very nice thing to say, darling.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019M SORRY \u2013 I\u2019M SORRY!\u201d Then she gasped in alarm. The water level had reached the top of her breasts again.<\/p>\n<p>She tried to rise up on the balls of her feet on the cannonball. But there was no escape. She looked up to see the hose fully spewing its contents into the tank with her.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cStewart, turn the water off! Turn it off and I\u2019ll do anything you want!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat I want is to watch you try to escape, darling.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBUT I CAN\u2019T!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you can\u2019t escape then I want to watch you drown.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She stared at him in horror as her mouth dropped open. He\u2019d actually admitted it. He wanted to watch her drown. That was why she was in there in the first place.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSTEWART, GET ME OUT OF HERE!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBetter work on those wrists, darling.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cStewart, I\u2019m scared!\u201d Now the water had reached her shoulders. Her white bra was visible through the material of her dress, accenting her cleavage.<\/p>\n<p>For the first time since the encounter at the door, he actually smiled at her. \u201cI\u2019m going to watch you drown, darling. It\u2019s clear you\u2019re no escape artist. You\u2019re no independent woman either. But I never thought so from the very beginning. Instead, I\u2019m going to enjoy watching you drown.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSTEWART; NOOOO!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The water reached her chin. Addison tipped her head back as she stretched upward on her toes, feeling the panic well up inside her. It was rising way too fast.<\/p>\n<p>Her feet shuffled until she slipped off. Addison bubbled as she was momentarily submerged. She struggled to get her feet back onto the metal ball. Then she stuck her head up out of the water. But she had to stretch upward as she tipped her head back to breathe.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHow long can you hold your breath, darling? Can you hold it before the water reaches the top of the tank?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cStewart, p-p-please! I\u2019ll d-d-do anything you want!!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDarling the only thing I want right now is to watch you drown.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cStewart; n-no!!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Her feet shuffled around as she tried to stretch upward. Buoyancy lifted her up off the cannonball she was standing on. Her feet kicked and flailed around as Addison tried to stay at the surface while tipping her head back to get another breath.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLast breath, darling, before that tether tightens and pulls you under. Better make it a good one. I want you to put on a good drowning for me, ok? After all, that\u2019s all you\u2019ve got left to give me now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSt\u2026 St\u2026 STEWART\u2026 p-p\u2026 please!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Her feet shuffled as she tried to find the cannonball below. She submerged as she found it. Addison tried to kick herself up a little higher until she felt the tether pull her up short.<\/p>\n<p>Her lips and nose went under. She kicked upward and got most of her head up. She stretched upward just as high as she could go, frantically tipping her head back as the water continued to climb inside the tank.<\/p>\n<p>Addison gasped for breath as the water rose. But she could not go any higher. It had reached her lips and was tickling her nose.<\/p>\n<p>Addison inhaled deeply before straightening up and facing him. Bubbles trickled out of her nose. Only the top of her head remained above the surface. She was almost fully submerged.<\/p>\n<p>Bubbles trickled out of her nose as she stared at him in abject horror. She tried to kick upward again. But the tether pulled her up short. She could not get her head back above the surface.<\/p>\n<p>She looked upward, but it was no use. The water kept rising; it was now a couple of inches above her head. No matter how hard she stretched and kicked, she could not reach the surface.<\/p>\n<p>She bubbled anxiously, her toes wriggling as her feet kicked in vain for solid footing. Standing on the cannonball now would to her no good. She needed to go higher to reach the surface. But the tether to the metal ball underneath her bare feet kept pulling her up short.<\/p>\n<p>Addison anxiously shook her head as more bubbles came out of her nose and mouth. Her eyes were wide as she kicked upward again. But the tether still pulled her up well short.<\/p>\n<p>She looked upward to see the surface of the water rising toward the top of the tank. Addison shook her head again as she stopped struggling. She was getting tired and out of breath.<\/p>\n<p>Stewart stepped closer. He reached out toward the tank, admiring her cleavage. Addison bubbled out of her nose as she shook her head yet again, her eyes wide in terror.<\/p>\n<p>Stewart caressed the glass in front of her. Addison shook her head harder as she lost more bubbles. The clips kept her hair back and her face exposed.<\/p>\n<p>More air trickled out of her nose. Some bubbles slipped out past her lips. Addison grunted in growing horror as she shook her head again, her eyes pleading for Stewart to do something.<\/p>\n<p>The water continued to fill the Houdini tank. It was now less than a foot from the top. Wasn\u2019t he going to drain the tank now? Was he really going to let her drown??<\/p>\n<p>Stewart saw Addison\u2019s stomach heave behind her flowing pink dress. Then he saw her chest start to spasm. Her breasts wobbled in her bra as she grunted and bubbled.<\/p>\n<p>She frantically shook her head. Then she bubbled, \u201cSTEWART, HELP MEEEE!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBetter keep all that air inside your lungs, darling. Better not waste any of it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Alison\u2019s lungs were straining. Her chest heaved as her breasts gently bounded up and down. She tried to kick herself upward for the surface and the air she desperately needed. But the tether grasped firmly onto her ankle.<\/p>\n<p>She lost more bubbles out of her nose and mouth. Stewart looked up to see how much longer before the tank was full. The water had almost reached the top.<\/p>\n<p>Addison screamed her breath away. Then she took a big gulp. Her eyes flew open in horror as she coughed up bubbles.<\/p>\n<p>Addison started hitching and gurgling as she began swallowing and inhaling water. She went into seizures as her body shook inside the Houdini tank. Her pink dress flowed and billowed as she spewed bubbles out of her mouth and nose.<\/p>\n<p>Her mouth opened and closed like a fish out of water. Addison hitched painfully, her body shaking and convulsing. Then she slowly descended until her feet touched the floor of the tank.<\/p>\n<p>She began to gently sway back and forth as though a current was present. She stared incredulously, unable to believe how this night was going to end for her. Her body gently spasmed as her lungs continued their futile attempt to breathe.<\/p>\n<p>Her struggles abruptly ceased as she continued to sway inside the Houdini tank. Stray bubbles slipped out of her gaping mouth. Her pupils briefly dilated before the life winked out of her eyes.<\/p>\n<p>Addison stood there with a vacant expression of shock and horror. Occasional muscle twitches indicated the firing of stray nerve impulses. A moment later water began spilling out of the top of the Houdini tank.<\/p>\n<p>It poured down on all sides, partially obscuring the view of the occupant inside. Stewart reached out and tenderly touched the glass. He got his hand wet from the pouring water. Then he calmly turned and walked away.<\/p>\n<p>He didn\u2019t bother turning off the water. He simply allowed it to continue overflowing as it poured out and down along the four glass walls of the Houdini tank.
