Pleased with his work, Eric made sure Laura had room to turn her head.  Afterall, he wanted her to watch what was coming.  But before that . . . the mouse picked up the gag.  "Open up, Bond-Pet," he crooned, "Your punishment is that you're going to watch for a little while.  And you'll not be allowed to touch yourself or me, until I say so."  He proceeded to place the simple ball gag in her mouth and strap it in place as he spoke, assuming she didn't struggle or fight him.  If she did, he'd have to "soften" her up a bit first.
