Amanda was now convinced of what she had only suspected the day before: her bondage arrangement had been dictated by Mandas down to the last detail. The displeasure on Marris' face while he secured her was both confirmation and a small comfort as she swayed and strained at the ends of her chains.
Her wrists were shackled, and a chain ran from them to a large metal hook embedded in the ceiling, pulled taut until her heels left the floor. Her ankles were bound tight with another chain, forcing her to strain on tip-toes to steady her body.
She would let herself hang from the wrist shackles if not for the additional chain threaded between her legs and attached to the same hook. When she relaxed her feet, the chain pushed a silky cloth against her folds. Her pussy buzzed and strained with wet pleasure which never consummated in orgasm while it remained pressed to her.
She was left like this for some time, her feet growing tired and forcing her to rest against the cloth until she squirmed in dire need. She would gasp and writhe against the chain, desperate to coax her pussy into one final nudge over the edge. Yet relief would never come, leaving her panting and mad with arousal. Then it was up on her tip-toes again.
This had not been enough to satisfy Mandas. Two slim chains hung from tight clamps on her nipples, and lead weights dangled from the other ends. As she wriggled about trying to balance herself on her tip-toes, the weights swung and tugged, driving her pleasure to further maddening heights until her nipples throbbed with her heartbeat against the clamps.
Finally, the carriage door opened, and Mandas entered, thumping his cane once against the floor. His eyes slowly swept Amanda's body, and he smiled as if admiring "his" work. Amanda said nothing, though she could not hide the plea from her eyes.
He stepped towards her just as she was forced to ease the ache in her burdened feet. Mandas grinned and flicked the weights on her nipples with the head of his cane. Amanda moaned and shivered, her breath a gasping pant as her pussy strained harder at the edge.
"Sometimes I wish I had managed to outbid that oaf Norlan for you," said Mandas with a sly smile. "I have all sorts of interesting bondage positions I would love to try on you. You take to them so well."
Amanda barely managed to suppress a whimper as she squirmed and twisted.
"And as much as I would love to watch you in this state, I suspect your speech would be incoherent. Alas."
He turned towards a corner of the carriage and picked up a block of polished wood which Marris had left behind. He placed it at Amanda's feet and helped her step onto it. Amanda rested on her heels and let out a slow, quavering sigh as the pressure against her pussy eased. She stood still until the weights stopped swinging, and it retreated a bit more.
"Better?" Mandas asked with a smarmy grin.
"Yes, Master," Amanda said in a less strained but still breathy voice.
"Very good. Now, tell me what else you have learned about Gedric."
Amanda launched into the speech she had rehearsed with Gedric and Vortas before dawn. She told him of Gedric's Noble heritage and his mentor, the former Lord Tarras, who likely escaped the initial Inonni purge. She did not reveal her revelations about the Inonni Portal technology, nor did he ask.
When Amanda was done, Mandas slowly paced the length of the carriage once, appearing deep in thought. He finally lifted his eyes to her, and his face took on a grave look. "From what you have told me, Amanda, it is as I have feared: Gedric is in extreme danger."
Amanda did not react. She simply gave Mandas an expectant look.
"It is well and good I had conceived of a plan of escape for him, for I suspected from the start it might come to this."
Amanda tilted her head, both in curiosity and confusion.
"This is what I had implied when I first spoke to you. This task is the means for your escape with Gedric."
Amanda's eyes widened. Did he know already? Were the Urisi further along in understanding the Inonni threat than they let on?
"I believe the Oceanus delegation which will be upon us in less than a quarter moon intends to take Gedric into custody as a means of finding Lord Tarras."
Amanda's mouth dropped open.
Mandas nodded gravely. "Yes, you can see the implications yourself. Oceanus' new masters will do unspeakable things to him to get the information they want."
Amanda blinked and stared in surprise.
Mandas smirked. "Ah, so naive you are. You don't want to think just how bad they can be. But I know far more about them than you ever could. I know how vicious they are. How cruelly they can torture a man. How they think nothing of inflicting the most terrible pain to get what they want. That is what awaits Gedric if we do not help him escape before the Inonni arrive."
That Mandas could stoop to such outrageous lies did not surprise her. But to declare them so boldly, without flinching, without giving any clue as to the deception by either the inflection of his voice or the movements of his body chilled her far more than anything he could have done to her.
She had once lamented she could never be a complete slave. She could act the part but not be the part, as something would flicker in her eyes to destroy the illusion. Now she reveled in it, for if Mandas were an example of the accomplished liar, it was something she never wanted to be.
The thought that Mandas had expected her to fall for this pack of lies sparked blazing anger in her eyes for a moment.
Mandas nodded. "Yes, I can see you do not like the prospect, either. Then I would suggest it is in your best interest to assist in this escape. If we act fast enough, you and Gedric can be gone before the Oceanus delegates arrive."
Amanda's mind raced. What was Mandas really up to? If he could tell such large lies, then nothing suggested he was telling the truth now. But if there were even a chance to escape the Urisi slave system... !
She had no idea what to do or how to respond.
Mandas gave her an ingratiating smile. "I see you appear a bit conflicted. Perhaps the life of a slave was starting to grow on you? I suppose I'll give you some time to, ah..."
He suddenly kicked the block out from under Amanda's feet. She gasped when the chain slammed the cloth into her tortured pussy and the weights on her nipples swung wildly. She again thrashed and whimpered in unbearable need.
" ... think about it." Mandas smirked and left the carriage.
It was once said one could tell the size of a bureaucracy by counting how many clerks it employed. As such, the Urisi government had the greatest density of clerks to non-clerks of any nation in Narlass.
High Minister of State Erodon employed a virtual army of clerks who handled all the minutiae of paperwork which he had neither the desire nor the time to do himself. All documents underwent an initial editing by the clerks; all messages to foreign heads of state were spell-checked by the clerks; and all expense reports came first to the clerks for an initial accounting and tally.
Once such clerk, sitting at the single long desk alongside his peers, worked methodically through a pile of such reports, his quill pen quivering as it noted figures on a long scroll which pooled on the floor beside him. The other hand alternated between flipping a report from the "pending" to "done" pile and manipulating the beads of an abacus with nimble aplomb.
Finally a report sat before him which forced him to pause. He raised an imperious eyebrow and narrowed his eyes upon the figure. Seven thousand? For a single lump sum listed only as "miscellaneous Ambassadorial expenses?" Oh no, this would not do at all. He would expect a whole ream of parchments to accompany this one, a complete accounting of every coin, in order to allow him to validate such an expense.
He frowned as he saw the name attached to it: Lord Ambassador Norlan.
He sighed. The rank was high enough that he had to issue an initial approval. Yet anything over a thousand platinum gave him pause, especially without more detail. Ambassador or no, Lord Norlan had to account for his expenditures.
He inked the figure into the ledger with some reluctance, and drew a symbol near it indicating it was provisional only. He grumbled a curse, as now he had to maintain an additional column. He dearly hoped there would be no more like this.
He placed the report in a different pile, one that heretofore had been empty. The little sign next to it read "expedited review." When Erodon performed his own review two days hence, he would be sure to see this one first.
Amanda discovered to her dismay that a pussy straining almost painfully on the edge of orgasm was not conducive to logical thought. She spent much of her time trying to avoid thrashing, as any movement made it worse. She closed her eyes and blocked out all other thoughts as she tensed her arms and lifted herself on her toes.
Amanda had never been so torn since being parted from Sirinna. She was sure Mandas was setting up Gedric for something. Would he, as a Urisi Ambassador, actually abet an escape attempt for a man wanted by another government? And yet if there were even the smallest chance she could escape--!
Amanda sighed. In reality, only one choice existed, as Mandas would consider only one answer acceptable. What really mattered was what she was going to do afterward. Surely Gedric and Vortas would see the offer for the duplicity it was.
Amanda whimpered as her feet gave out. Her pussy pressed against the cloth, now soaked with both the enchantment imbued within and her own moisture. She shivered and moaned, unable to think clearly in the midst of the sensual assault.
The door opened, and Mandas stepped inside. Amanda tried to speak, but only a ragged moan emerged from her lips. She thrashed again, her nipple weights swinging, her breath heavy. Mandas watched her for a few moments before placing the block under her feet.
Mandas gave Amanda a sly smirk, and yanked the cloth out from between the chain and her pussy. He slipped a single gloved finger into her folds and rubbed her womanhood with quick, hard strokes.
Amanda gasped, her chains rattling as she trembled at the edge for another few excruciating moments, the effects of the orgasm suppressant slow to wear off. She cried out as her pussy exploded, throbbing hard against Mandas hand. The chain holding her wrists snapped taut as her legs gave out.
Mandas withdrew his hand. "Your answer?"
Amanda gasped out her answer as she struggled to catch her breath. "Yes ... Master ... I'll do it ... I'll help you."
Mandas grinned. "Very good. Now, listen carefully, as I do not care to repeat myself. The Oceanus fleet is granted one more night with the slaves. That will be your chance to inform Gedric of my plan. I am sure you can convince him, since he is so enamored of the oh-so-special Oceanus-bred slaves. Tell him the escape will be executed before the Oceanus delegates are within sight of the coast. He is to acknowledge his acceptance of the plan by requesting he be allowed to have you for another night, that he will reveal some important information to Norlan if he is granted his wish."
"Yes, Master, I understand."
"The night you are delivered to him, a courier will arrive with a parchment for the guards which will grant permission for Gedric to be allowed off the ship so he may have you in the carriage." He smirked. "It will claim Gedric has certain ... special bondage requests ... which he does not have the equipment to do. He will then join you in the carriage, and both of you will be taken to your passage to freedom."
Amanda's heart pounded. To her desperate ears, it sounded almost as if it could work. She wanted to hold out some hope he was sincere in wishing for their escape.
"I do hope you can remember all that." Mandas said in a dry voice.
"Yes, Master, I'll remember it."
"If you do not carry through, I vow I will find a way to acquire you, and then you'll really see what sort of interesting bondage games I'm capable of with my slaves."
Amanda shivered, rattling her chains once more. "Yes, Master," she said in a meek voice.
Marris hoped this would be the last time Lord Ambassador Mandas needed to meet with Amanda in this manner. He was sure "meet" was the operative word. Mandas' visits were far too short to be a simple sexual tryst.
He felt guilty when Amanda looked at him each time he chained and unchained her, despite the total lack of accusation in her eyes. He was sure he could not do this again without begging Amanda for forgiveness. This last time, Amanda had given him a concerned look just as he returned her to her normal carriage, as if she had noticed his distress and was sorry for it.
His heart had melted, and he had come close to shedding tears when he was alone in his compartment.
His mind raced with possibilities of what Mandas could be up to. His concern had little to do with loyalty to Norlan. He had finally accepted he had little if any loyalty. Norlan was just an employer, someone willing to let him work for the pittance he earned. It was hard to be loyal when so many employers had dismissed him after learning of his "proclivities."
He was more worried about Amanda being hurt. He was not interested in whatever machinations went on between rival Lord Ambassadors. They would continue with or without his assistance. But at least he had a choice, unlike Amanda.
Marris would quit his position in an instant if he thought he could somehow take Amanda with him. He had heard of slaves attempting escape, usually those who were left undraughted and thus still remembered the loves ones from whom they had been ripped. Those who attempted to assist them generally came to bad ends.
And even if he could help Amanda escape, where would she go? There were stories of slaves who had managed to escape but became no more than slave labor toiling away on some obscure farm or plantation. It traded one slavery for another.
Marris had his doubts about the latter claim, but he was sure Amanda would be just as miserable as a peasant girl as she would as a slave.
Marris peeked outside as dusk settled to twilight and sighed. Another sleepless night lay ahead.
Mandas wrinkled his nose as he once more found himself at the disagreeable strip of beach of the Ollo merchant clan. He hauled a large sack towards its equally odious clan leader and dropped it at the man's feet.
Riddon stared at the sack, it sides bulging with coins, then gave the Lord Ambassador a stunned look. Two of his compatriots, having heard the distinctive rattle of platinum, raced over from their camp and dropped to their knees, pawing open the sack like starving men finding a cache of food.
"Sweet goddess of the sea," one drawled. He plunged his hand inside and let the coins run through his fingers.
"Bloody hellfire if there ain't at least five thousand in here!" the other babbled.
"Seven thousand," Mandas announced, his voice tight. "As agreed."
The low clouds at the dawn horizon glowed blood red with the approaching sunrise. A crimson taint touched the former D'ronstaq Manor as the glow brightened, and to those walking along the sandy paths formerly tread by slaves, Trainers, and Overlords, it felt like walking on faintly bloodstained ground. To the two Cohorts who emerged from the west side path, the ones who had helped Verano carry the body of Jothan to his final resting place, it seemed appropriate. They crossed the clearing,...
Donny Gentile listened with his eyes closed to the splashing of his sister as she swam in the clear water of their family swiimming pool. Their parents were both off on an afternoon of flea market shopping, and they had the house to themselves. Jenny always demanded they take advantage of such oppotunities, and he would taunt her with other things he had to do, girls he wanted to visit, all the while as excited as she was. The pool was well protected by both a high fence and landscaping, so...
One It was just a vague idea, really. But there was something magic about this island, and standing on it's highest point, still only a hundred yards from the beach, the far off thunderclouds crackled and flashed as she watched. All the storms did that, approach from the west, then veer off northward. The same phenomenon that had carried their liferaft here three months ago. An observor would not have thought of Prospero. Nor Ariel. Her black hair was almost to her waist, framing a face...
When I woke up, I saw a city appearing though the windshield. We passed a sign welcoming us to St. Louis. The city was huge and cars and trucks where everywhere. The traffic was dense, the sidewalks crowded. We pulled up to an imposing building. It was stone and had a red roof. Over the doorway, I read "Union Station." Legion slid the window open that separated us from the driver. "Take the car to be loaded and bring my overnight bag to my Pullman." "Yes, sir." "Come," He held out...
I awakened when my door opened. "Come," Ayala said. "Prepare for dinner." "Yes Ayala." She picked up my cuffs and clamped them on me. She opened a drawer, took out a brush and bade me to sit. It hurt as she untangled my long hair. "You must have your hair brushed at all times." She hissed at me. "I will not look bad because of a slave." "Yes Ayala." "Soon you will be expected to be perfect." "How will I learn to move like you?" "It is called Tai Chi. You will join the...
A dinging bell woke me up. Salome was sitting on my stuffed chair. She stretched and her eyes popped open. "Hi, sleepy head. You look better." I shook my head, remembering last night. "Were you meditating?" "Yes. It was a new experience. I counted your breaths instead of mine." "Did it work?" "Yes. I drifted away, hearing my sister sleeping peacefully." I leapt out of bed and went to her. She rose and we hugged tightly. "Thank you, sister. I've never had anyone like...
Despite the trappings of opulence in the form of large tapestries that absorbed all stray sound, the chime rang clear and commanding in Amanda's ears. When her feet did not obey the summons but remained sunk into the plush carpet, a hand alighted on her shoulder. "Don't dawdle. Go." Amanda turned her head, but could see Larra only out of the corner of her eye. Larra nudged her, accompanied by a short outtake of breath, not so much admonishment as exasperation. Amanda knew what it meant:...
The slim man stepped across the threshold, and the door swung closed behind him with a tiny squeak of old hinges that seemed loud in the morning calm. When the cool ocean breeze behind him had ceased, a pall of stale sweat and brine teased the stranger's nose from under his hood despite the early hour and the almost empty tavern. The barkeep, a burly man with a misshapen nose, gave the stranger a wary eye and paused with his broom in mid-sweep. Two haggard men in a far corner abandoned...
The last quarter moon had convinced Lord Ambassador Mandas that the sole purpose of an architecture which advocated long, wide hallways festooned with statues of scowling royalty and state ministers of the past was to intimidate people like him as they scurried about their official business. Mandas had become inured to most of them as he dashed from one high official to another to gather more information for the King on the impending crisis with Oceanus. He had been shocked to hear that...
The men and women that considered themselves among the ranks of the so-called Rogue Mages milled in loose groups within the Chamber of Equals at the Oceanus Mage Guild. They betrayed no notice or concern for the scowls of reproof from the Traditionalist Mage Elders or the bemused looks of the Empiricists. They engaged in idle chatter, the occasional smattering of laughter rising above the din of conversation, earning only more reproachful looks. Few looked the part of a Mage. Absent were the...
Amanda felt yet another sharp tug on her collar chain despite the fact that she was keeping pace; she suspected that Halno, the Head of Staff, did it because he could. The completion of her remedial training meant she was a full slave, and thus accessible to Norlan's servants. Unlike slaves, servants were employees, and thus entitled to salary and benefits. Amanda and her ilk were one of the latter. At first, Amanda had been grateful. The servants were a talkative lot, and liked to trade...
Jollis had visited the Imperial Palace of Oceanus only once during the waning days of the first phase of Enlightenment, when the old Oceanus order had been unwound save for a scant few Nobles and Overlords they had missed. The Inonni would never refer to them as having escaped, as that implied that their future was imprisonment. The Inonni simply wanted them to fit properly into the new order. Their resistance was to their own detriment, worse than anything they imagined the Inonni would do...
Amanda had thought that her mind would dwell upon the indignity of being caged in a small, silent alcove waiting to be used like a plastic sex toy. Instead, she had surprised herself with how accepting she had become of her new role. Initially, she had viewed it as a boon, a way to avoid insanity. Now she wondered if the insanity would have been preferable; or a despairing semi-catatonic state that would leave her with little capacity to feel on her own; or a Draught-induced vapidness that...
Kyllos' footsteps echoed despite the softness of his shoes as he walked towards the dais in the throne room of the Imperial Palace. His tired eyes beheld the throne in another vain hope that the Emperor had come to his senses and taken his rightful place. Instead, the blood-stained sword still lay across its hand-rests, and dust covered the seat. Kyllos folded his hands and stopped at the foot of the dais, allowing himself a rare sigh as his eyes swept the chamber. He had heard that one of...
Mandas held his head high as he strode into the anteroom, resplendent in the ruffles and silks which comprised his best attire. His shoes answered the general din of conversation with crisp clicks against the stone of the entryway, muted when he stepped onto the deep purple carpet. One of his gloved hands clutched a walking cane which he tapped against the floor, its length carved with flowing designs and accents that represented parts of his clan's crest. One took the form of a snake...
No telltale bolt from the black announced the Wanderer's arrival this time. He had been transported to this spot early that morning, well to the east of his quarry where the rising sun would cover his arrival. He had holed up under a rocky outcropping, subsisting on a few meager rations and intense meditation. Now, under the cover of moonless night, he scurried through the underbrush as lithe as a cat and as silent as the breeze. Such stealth was second nature to him. It afforded him time...
"It makes little sense," said Jollis to an empty chamber. As the day in the Urisi Nation hurtled towards late afternoon, the sun had just risen over the Oceanus Imperial Palace. It was well past the candlemark when his Master should be seated at his desk tending to the morning reports. Yet the flame in the lamp at the corner of the desk remained low, untouched since Kyllos had retired the evening before. Jollis took a slow, deep breath. His own words disturbed him, not so much for their...
Gedric marched into Vortas' cabin and closed the door with a controlled slam. He paused, let out a single sharp breath, and spun towards the Lord Admiral's desk. He stood ramrod straight, hands at his sides, head held high. "I submit my formal apology for my conduct with the Urisi Ambassador earlier this morning, my Lord," he said in a tense voice. Vortas regarded the young Fleet Captain as he leaned back, the creaking of his chair loud in the silence. "At ease." Gedric folded his...
Gedric lingered at the railing as evening deepened to full night, the sky dotted with stars which ducked in and out from behind high clouds. The deck had finally fallen silent, all the slaves now with those who would have them for a night of fleeting pleasure. The only sailors left were those on watch who had not draw first lots against the limited number of slaves. Gedric turned from the railing and glanced at the men on deck. One glance at their faces told him they were not best pleased to...
Jothan scrambled onto the boulder as a wave broke around it, surging into foam before pausing and retreating into the sea. He shook the bits of wet sand and water from his bare feet for a more secure foothold. He squinted as he peered into the sky, the wind prickling his skin as he waited for the sun to re-emerge from behind a small cloud. Jothan lowered his eyes and looked out across the indigo ocean. He sensed the wards rather than saw them, as the slim crystals which held the enchantment...
Marris sighed as he stood just outside the carriage which had served as the slaves' sleeping quarters after their night with the Urisi sailors. Wind whipped off the ocean and blew his hair before his eyes. "This is most unusual, my Lord." "Nevertheless, you will honor my request," said Mandas. He stood facing the wind so the breeze would push back whatever few strands of hair had escaped his ruthless brush and gel. "Or are you to tell me the renowned hospitality of the great Ambassador...
When Larra had been returned to her quarters, it was with no small amount of satisfaction Bessa observed the slave's usual air of superiority was gone. However, Bessa doubted the bitchy little slave got what she really deserved for what she had pulled with Amanda. Bessa waited until she was past the slave quarters before she uttered a tiny forlorn sigh. She had not realized how much she missed Amanda until the girl was absent a second night. She never thought she would give the slaves any...
Jollis rose just before dawn, when moisture from a rain shower which had passed during the night still lingered in the grasses and dripped from the trees. The air already felt warm, at least compared to what he had become used to back in his homeland. There, the air would still feel frosty, the cherry blossoms' brazen display of color defying the final vestiges of winter. Yet here the peasants had already prepared for the onset of summer while much of Oceanus still enjoyed the cool and wet...
"I apologize for contacting you at such a late hour, Guildmaster," said the shimmering Farview image of Marlon as Uroddus fumbled with his spectacles and the sash on his robe. When Katla appeared just as she managed to close her own robe more securely over her breasts, Marlon added in a more contrite voice, "And for, ah, interrupting anything." "It is all right, Marlon," said Uroddus in a slightly rushed voice. "I am assuming what you have to tell me is of great import." "I...
The still air lay sodden and warm from the first wave of early summer heat, and moisture clung to the Cohort's face as he crept along the side of the path which wound along the west side of the island. His fingers twitched despite how tightly he had laced them, and he spun his gaze behind him every few steps. Ahead of him was the S-shaped curve between the trees which lined the shore to the left and the gardens to the right. Just beyond was the dwelling of Elder Yurton. His breath became...
Illton was barely a village. This tiny sliver of bare civilization which curved around an ill-placed inlet had seen most of its sea traffic go to the larger port in Lerrusburg just to the south. The sea merchants came to this hamlet only when the ports at Lerrusburg were too busy or its taverns too full. The commercial center of Illton centered around a lone tavern, itself a decayed hulk with walls held up by hastily tacked on timbers, the placement of the nails marked by streaks of rust....
Norlan rushed through the corridors of his palace, his stomach still rumbling for the evening meal he had just been denied. The moment he stepped into the parlor, a stone-faced High Lord Ardon thrust a parchment into his chest. "Is this what you are supposedly looking for, Lord Ambassador?" said Ardon in a strained voice. Norlan took the parchment and examined it. He nodded once and tried to return it, but Ardon had turned away. "An expense report in my name but not written by me,"...
Rolas wore a distressed look as he watched Jollis bandaging his injured ankle. "Wanderer, you must get that treated," he finally said when Jollis faltered as he tried to place his weight upon it. "I have treated the worst of it," said Jollis without looking up. "I had a bit of salve remaining from the last time I was similarly injured. The torn tendon is mended. The rest will have to heal naturally." "But--" Jollis stood, tested his foot once more, and lifted his head. "The only...
Marris wiped his face with his hand and uttered a long sigh, then shook his head as if trying to dislodge the lingering grogginess. He had managed a bit more sleep in anticipation that his role in this sordid deal with Mandas would soon be over. He forced himself to straighten up as he stared into the mirror in the sanitary, running his hand over his freshly-shaven face. He rubbed the corners of his eyes to rid himself of the grainy vestiges of fitful slumber. At least he could manage to...
If nothing else had yet humbled the former Noble Lord, one look at the esteemed meeting place Rennis had procured would have done it. The Province which Tarras had governed before the Inonni came had a fine auditorium. Cavernous but not intimidating, decorated but not ostentatious, and comfortable but not lavish. The acoustics were perfect, allowing one to stand upon the stage and project his voice to the very back row with little effort. Tarras had used that chamber on many occasions to...
"Enter and be welcome." Yonlas hesitated nonetheless. Seeing the Elder Apparent was a painful duty anymore. He suspected Master Kyllos no longer slept properly, as if the man left his tiny office only to eat a meager meal in the cafe or meditate in the gardens. Nevertheless, Yonlas had his duty, and he stepped into the room. The blue flames in the lamp flickered at his approach. Perhaps his own perceptions were biased by his worry, but the lamp seemed to burn brighter each time he visited...
"With all due respect, my Lord, you are making things terribly difficult for me." Norlan forced himself to take a deep breath, and wished he could return to the days when he rarely interacted with the staff. "Nevertheless, you will find some way to muddle through. Perhaps you can take Marris back for a day." "Absolutely not," Halno snapped. After a pause, he tempered his gaze and his voice as if only now realizing to whom he was speaking. "I mean ... I would need to send someone to...
Across the ocean from the former D'ronstaq Manor, the day was already underway in the Urisi Nation. Amanda had been shown Bessa's copy of the map once more before she was sent on her journey to the Oceanus fleet. These events surely would have distracted Jollis from his own preparations as dawn broke across the indigo waters which isolated him from the truth. Jollis was preparing for death. Much time had passed since he had last felt the need. Even the mission to discover the horrible...
Amanda never felt so alone as in those final candlemarks in the carriage as it trundled towards Port Heldon. Her restraints forced her to remain standing. Her wrists were shackled and hung from a taut chain attached to the ceiling in the center of the carriage. Her ankles were shackled as well, and her body swayed with each bump and dip in the road. The chain on her collar was attached to one of the walls, and it rattled as the carriage moved. She wished Norlan had not fired Marris. Then,...
"We may be nearly there, Amanda," said Gedric. "The path is definitely sloping downward, and I can see a beach ahead." Amanda said nothing as she stumbled along behind him, for she was afraid her voice would reveal her distress and slow him down. They could not afford any delays now; she was sure Mandas and Norlan realized Gedric had not taken the expected route. For all she knew, they were alerted early and now lay in wait. The path was little more than a narrow trail following the...
Kyllos stepped out from behind his desk, giving his visitor a respectful bow of his head. "Good blessings to you, Brother of The Order." From just inside the closed door, where the Inonni Portal had deposited him not moments ago, the robed and somber form of Holy Order Elder Iridus closed his eyes and bowed his head in return. As he lifted his gaze, the lines etched into his thin and sallow face sharpened. "And to you, Fledging Brother of The Order." Kyllos smiled and folded his hands...
Amanda awoke with a start, her eyes flying open and seeing nothing but smooth stone a hand's breadth from her face. She did not know where she was until she turned over on the soft furs. She blinked and squinted at the bright, late morning light. She did not remember returning to the slave quarters, let alone her own niche. She had been so tired she had fallen asleep in the carriage despite her injuries. She looked down at her feet and felt her cheek and lips, but found nothing but smooth...
Kyllos took his time as he strolled down the corridors of the Imperial Palace and reflected on how empty the place seemed. While no fewer people serviced the Palace, many were Cohorts who traveled only when necessary. The favorite haunts of the former staff were deserted, as Cohorts tended not to gather until late evening for devotions at the Inonni Temple which had been erected in the center of the gardens. Inonni centers of government were never built so huge. They were designed more for...
Amanda awoke just before dawn while the other slaves were still asleep. Or at least pretended to be, which she discovered when she dared to open her eyes. She had been fortunate to sleep facing the inside of the chamber. If she had to turn over, she was sure she would have been beset once more. She caught Larra just before she was about to lift her head and stare at Amanda. Amanda shut her eyes and forced her breath to remain steady. She heard Larra stir once more, then subside. Amanda...
When he first rose from unconsciousness, Jollis believed he was caught in some sort of strange limbo. He did not dare open his eyes for fear of seeing nothing but a void. Only parts of his body seemed to exist: one arm, his hips and rear, one leg and part of the other. He could not tell if his head were still attached to his body, as he could not feel his shoulders or his back. Sounds came to him, vague and muffled. Something in his mind insisted he was sitting up. He stirred, and suddenly...
The room which served as the parlor for High Lord Bortho seemed confining despite its owner's great wealth and love of large, expansive chambers. Indeed, in this case, its own opulence was its undoing. Rich tapestries and beautiful paintings marched high along the walls, their edges almost touching one another. Before them stood statues and carvings composed of every material from wood to stone to metal. Arranged before them were vases, gourds, goblets, and other small treasures, sitting...
TEMPESTUOUS TELEMARKETER TEMPESTUOUS TELEMARKETER Elwyn sweated as he talked to the prospect on the phone. He could feel Glenda?s eyes on him. His butt still ached from her earlier interview with him. ?Hello? Mr. Sykes this is? Elwyn Stokes from ?Washington Politics magazine. We noticed you dropped your subscription?? He looked up at Glenda, who frowned even more right back at him. Elwyn thought of her nails raking his sensitive spot beneath his testicles and shivered. ?and we want...
Melissa sat on a bench, her back against the cold wall. The musty dampness of the crypt invaded her nostrils and with her eyes half closed, she rested with her legs pulled up against her chest. Angeline was on the other side of the curtain preparing and placing some of the props for the play. Bernadette, or Berni as she liked to be called, was applying the finishing touches to her clothes. Her bright red hair was glowing, even from the dim lighting that was scattered by the flickering...
OccupationsIn the music room on the first floor of the Stone house, Tempest slammed away on the grand piano keys, her tiny fingers moving fast as she played her self- composed masterpiece. She focused on the keys, channeling her anger and her anticipation, shifting the cherry sucker in her mouth from side to side as she concentrated and waited… She had been playing the piano since the day of her third birthday when Darleen found her tapping away on the grand piano in the music room. She knew immediately...
Chapter 2 – The diabolic doll It was the beginning of summer but one would never know by the unpredictable weather. The sun was attempting to shine, but it was dulled by the minor storm. The wind whistled, the swelled clouds were ready to burst and the smell of the upcoming rain dominated the air. It seemed as if the summer was still stuck in spring. There were no early summer beach days, no family picnics in the park, no big barbecue bashes in the backyard. It was proving to be a disastrous...
It was a beautiful day, the sun was out, casting its warm beams on the city below. There was a cool breeze that complimented the warmth and carried the heady smell of the lilacs through the air, filling the hall of the big brick church on Gotham Street. The sun shone through the stained glass windows casting different tones on the walls and the floors, illuminating the entire church. It was the perfect day for a baptism. The Stone and the Rush family stood before the magnificent alter inside...
‘No one knows.’ he knew the young girl wouldn’t believe him. If anyone was comparable to Tempest in the pranks department, it was Davis and she knew most of his tricks. He lowered his voice as the members of the Stone family did when speaking of any member of the Rose family, ‘all we know is he ran off with Bianca Rose.’ ‘Who?’ she thought Davis said Bianca Rose and she knew there was no way he could have said Bianca Rose. ‘did you just say-?’ ‘Bianca Rose.’ he whispered she looked at him in...
It was the beginning of the season, a bright new start screamed from the skies and a fresh dewy smell permeated the air. It was a season where the story started anew as it ended for good. It was an unusual spring to say the least, the rain was relentless, forcing everyone to take shelter lest the lightening lick their limbs and the thunder shake their bones. The constant down pour had become depressing and had most people staring out their windows wishing for the summer. It had been the...
Oh not again! For the second night in a row Candace has woke up due to the tingling sensations in her lower body. For the second night in a row Candace has woke up with a large, throbbing cock pressing up between her ass cheeks. Although she is wearing boy shorts, with the cock’s owner wearing shorts, she can still feel it move with each breath. Normally she wouldn’t mind having an erect member in her bed. Being sixteen she is always horny and it is one of the things her boyfriend loves...
When night falls and before bed, Candace’s mother, Rita, says she feels she is coming down with something. Not wanting to pass on any sickness to her husband of daughter, she goes to sleep on the couch, leaving Candace and Caleb in the bed alone. They are in bed, both lying on their backs. Candace is in her chemise and boy shorts, Caleb in just his shorts again, waiting for sleep to hit. This is when Candace decides to breech the subject. “So, is it me?” “What?” Caleb asks, a little...
“What happened last night was a onetime thing, I swear,” Caleb tells her in the morning. “If it needs to be done again, I’ll do it.” “Okay, Daddy,” she replies simply, almost running to the bathroom to try and ease her urges as best as she can. But later, once the day is over and it’s time for bed, things are a little different. Candace isn’t woken by the feeling of her father’s erection pressing into her, but by quick movement from his side of the bed. She rolls over and what she sees...
Throughout the day Candace tries her best to brush up against her father as much as possible, out of view of everyone else. It reminds Caleb of how a cat does it, thinking how appropriate it is considering how his daughter is playing dress up, though he pretends not to notice. He tries not to make a big deal out of it, but is becomes unbearable to the point that he is looking forward to bed time and even suggests an early night. He says it is to let his wife get some rest in the hope her...
Caleb wakes slowly, finding the blanket tossed aside with his catgirl daughter cradling his balls and his throbbing shaft buried in her small mouth. He cannot say anything because he knows that it would be a futile effort if he even tries to. He reasons that he will have a talk with her after. Candace on the other hand knows her father has awoken and the fact that he does not say anything is working in her favor. She swallows as much of him as she can before switching to sucking his balls...
Joyce had woke up early. Today is different from other days because Lewis, her son, is taking Rita to the doctor. This leaves her, Caleb and Candace all alone at home. Not that it is a bad thing. Looking out the window, the sun is already coming up. It is going to be a beautiful and sunny day and as such the woman planned on lounging around the house. She catches a glimpse of herself in the tall mirror, the sunlight shining through the window is causing her shear nightgown to seem almost...
Lewis takes his aunt to the doctor while the rest of the household eats breakfast. Candice manages to disappear when it comes time to cleanup and just as miraculously reappears when all the work is finished. Her appearance does not go unnoticed by Joyce, nor does her dress though she does try to pretend not to notice it. Candace is wears a halter top, clearly without a bra on beneath. Her hard, little nipples are very visible and pointing straight out. So is the full curve of her breasts,...
After about five minutes, when her body has calmed down completely, the realization of what she has just done hits Joyce. She has just fucked her sister’s husband! Caleb is now sitting on the opposite side of the pool with an impish grin on his face. Having filled his sister-in-law’s cunt with his cream, he is feeling pretty good with himself. He has very little guilt about the experience, having fucked his daughter just this morning. He is still running on hormones and adrenaline. Joyce...
Joyce and Caleb still remain naked, enjoying the sigh of one another’s bodies while they eat. Afterward, Caleb grabs a quick shower and Joyce goes into the living room to watch a movie. When the man returns, drying himself off, he sees his sister-in-law on the back of the couch, legs spread with one hand groping her breasts and the other buried inside her pussy. On the television is a porn movie. Caleb doesn’t recognize it, but on the screen is a young looking girl dressed as a nurse in a...
Later, after a large dinner, everyone retired to bed. Caleb’s wife, Rita, is on the couch again. She has her medication but I still contagious and still doesn’t want to get anyone sick. When Caleb enters his room he sees Candace kneeling on the bed, totally naked with her arms behind her back pushing her cute firm breasts and hard pink nipples out toward him. “I’ve missed you, Daddy,” she says, swaying slightly. Caleb has to admit that his daughter’s small frame and pert breasts are...
