She had to go through another attack of electricity. Those seemed to get longer and longer as time passed, leaving Felina more and more tired. This time, her frantic jerking made her roll so close to a heater that she kicked it with her feet, touching directly the red hot device. The burn and blister this produced sent her howling and rolling to her other side of the matt.
Felina was fighting the panic. She tried to keep her pain-drowned mind to continue functioning. She knew she had to remain calm and focused if she were to escape from this challenge. As she took several deep breaths - well, as deep as her corset would allow - the solution suddenly appeared to her. The throbbing pain coming from her blistered feet had led to it: heat! The heat would meld the wax!
With this project in mind, she began to crawl on her left flank towards one of the heaters. She went as close as she dared, feeling the intense heat on her over-sensitive breasts. She felt the crumbles of wax that were still sticking to them begin to melt, increasing the feeling of burn. She gritted her teeth on the ball but did not move. She wanted the way packed between her breasts to liquefy, and this meant getting more heat to her nipples and areolae, which were closer to the radiation source.
At last she felt the wax getting softer between her cruelly bound, bulging breasts. She contorted her arms back in the reverse-prayer position and restarted her careful yanks on the collar string. This time, she felt something moving. The wax was still too hard, but if she could keep her breasts roasting a little longer, it would get fluid enough. And this is what she did. Gritting her teeth, sweating all the water of her body, she remained facing the heaters, feeling as if her breasts were about to take fire. But at last, her courage was fruitful. The small key began to respond to the gentle tugs and to move through the soft wax.
As soon as the key emerged from between her swollen, sweaty cleavage, Felina rolled away, presenting her back to the heat in an attempt to cool down her front side. Pulling on the string, her fingers quickly recovered the key. The padlock to her hood was in reach of her fingers and unlocking it was a matter of seconds. She still had to cut the lacing but soon enough, she was able to pull the mask of leather off her sweat-soaked face.
She blinked in the blinding light and heat. Her face was puffy and red, her lips were stretched thin around the ball gag. It was the first time in hours that the audience was offered to see her emotions directly. Her face was a grimacing mask of pain, and it also showed great tiredness. But deep in her blinded eyes could be seen the sparkle of her determination, of her strong will to succeed and escape.
Just as she shook her head to get rid of some curls of hair matted to her face, the hostess announced that it was time to add another painful handicap to Felina.
