Chapter I: On The Outskirts

Mithrell Kendermore sat herself on a rock overlooking the beautiful waterfall that guarded the subterranean gate to Menzoberranzan; she barely heard the presence of the black-robed guard following her. "Addy, are we almost there?"


"Yes, m'Lady," came the swift reply as he kneeled next to her. The black robes caught the setting sun's light in a strange way, making the cloak seem to be made of water as he pointed with his quarterstaff towards the glittering waters of the waterfall. "Through that curtain of spring water lays the city."


"Wonderful. Let us camp here tonight, that way we may enter the city bright and early, throw the citizens into confusion." She laughed softly as she shed herself of the kender battle armor, setting it aside as Adamante Necronis began preparing the base for a fire. She let her long red hair flow as he withdrew a copper wand and muttered "pyros." The little pile of sticks exploded instantly in a bright, cheery flame, and he set aside his quarterstaff as he removes his robes. He cast the cloak over the branch to a nearby oak tree and began setting up the bedrolls.


"M’Lady, what would you like for supper? We have some trail mix, some beans, or I could go out and kill a deer for you." His eagerness always made her smile for some reason. It was if he was a lap dog that only wanted to make her happy, and she never let him down.


She reached into the travel pack and pulled out a can of cherries. "I think a deer would be nice... I can prepare a very nice meal with these." She began pondering what she would be able to make as he raced off with his throwing daggers, to hunt. He was gone over an hour, and the sun was almost completely set when he came back with the carcass of a deer slung over his shoulders, He laid it down and, within minutes, had the backstrap and the flanks cut and ready for cooking. She smiled at him and gave him a kiss on the cheek as she took the meat, and began frying it in the cast-iron pan. He busied himself with collecting more firewood, and she could sense his eyes looking over her.


When the meal was finished, Adaman washed the pan and put the rest of the implements away as Mithrell reclined against the oak tree. When he came back, she smiled. "That was a wonderful deer, Adam... I cannot imagine how you caught it."


"It was easy, m'Lady... tracking and being good with daggers gave her to me. But I could not have made anything like that with it. You are a true genius with the pan, as well as with the blade." He smiled and, slipping to one knee, took her hand in his and kissed it lightly. "Thank you, m'Lady."


"You are very welcome, my protector." She smiled and suddenly winced, her hand automatically reaching for her right shoulder. Answering Adam's questioning gaze, she said, "It’s nothing. Just a twinge, it will be right as rain in the morning."


"No, m'Lady.. We can take care of it now." He pushed her gently forward and slipped behind her, laying his hands upon her shoulders. He began massaging the muscles with a soft hand, and pulled her gently to recline upon him as his hands worked. Her sighs rang in his ears like a crystal chime, and he doubled his efforts, his fingers traveling from the base of her skull across the sweep of her shoulders. His hands moved with incredibly grace, moving not only on her back, but across her clavicles as well, massaging the knots from her upper chest as his breath warmed her ear. Mithrell just went limp in his grasp, her head rolling back onto his chest as his fingers worked her gently. She kisses the underside of his chin, then whispered softly, "lower."


His fingers swept lower, to the line of her tunic. She giggled softly as his fingers swept the sensitive flesh, and her voice became a little louder, but still barely above a whisper. "Lower still." Her gasp rang out gently as his fingers, chilled by the night air, found their way into the soft valley between her breasts. He pulled his hands out immediately, and she looked up at him. Her smile told him all was well, and he let his fingers return. She could tell he had never done it before, for his hands were untried, exploring, and a little rough. But she didn't seem to mind rough. Her back arched a little as his fingers massaged her breasts, then up the valley before sweeping down their curves directly. She smiled softly, her eyes glazing over in pleasure as his hands worked her there. She could feel, she thought, his hardness against her back as his hands pulled from her shirt, then slipped beneath it again from the back. She felt his hands sweep her sides, then cup her breasts again. Squeezing them, rolling them in his grasp, much like a child with a new toy. She smiled softly at being such a novelty, and then closed her eyes, stifling a gasp as his fingers found her nipples. He squeezed them gently between his middle and index fingers, and continued playing with her breasts as she rocked softly against him.


He let his hands sweep lower, to her leather pants, and she did not have a will to resist. She felt his fingers undoing the bindings of the trousers, then the warmth of his lips surrounding her earlobe as he slid them from her legs. He stood up and circled her, the outline of his manhood evident in the tight black silk pants he wore. She moaned softly, her fingers grasping his hair as his tongue made the first contact with her naked sex. Her back arched as he took her clit into his mouth, suckling on it as his tongue flickered across it. Her head thrashed from side to side as his fingers slipped inside her, pumping in and out and making delicious slurping noises. His fingers hooked inside her, and she cried out as he bit upon her burning nubbin gently. He didn't seem to care, only moving faster as her body quivered in delight. A third finger entered her, and his entire hand began to rotate within her as his tongue thrashed her clit, sending her body into overdrive. Her hands grasped his hair and pulled him hard, almost trying to take him inside her as he legs locked around his head. She threw her head back and screamed, startling nearby birds as he climax took her, ripping through her body like the wind. He held her close to him as her spasms subsided, and she felt his arms lifting her, placing her on the bedroll, before her eyes drifted into slumber. His lips pressed against her cheek, and she could smell the faint odor of her arousal upon his face before she slipped into slumber, sensing his eyes upon her, watching her for the first shift of the night.



Chapter II: The Journey Within

As they rose from their camp outside of the waterfall entrance to Menzoberranzan, Mithrell watched her guard pick up the bedrolls and snuff out the last of the fire. She smiled at the thorough way he did things, and absently smoothed her cloak over her belly. As he finished, she turned to regard the waterfall. "How much further do you think it is, Addy?" she asked, never having been to the drow city before.


"About an hours walk, m'Lady." His voice was sure, confident. She remembered him telling her of one such trip through the Underdark tunnels, and about the creatures that waited in the wings. She was not worried, though - his quarterstaff was enough to send most predators running in fright. And, she thought with a smile, those it did not scare away made excellent eating. He retrieved the iron frying pan and hooked it to the pack, then motioned for her to follow him towards the entrance.


They walked through the waterfall, which split open in a curtain of shimmering white to allow them passage. Mithrell admired the way the enchantment whispered to her as they walked through, then turned as the waterfall closed again, the surface an impenetrable sheet of water. The tunnels were dimly lit by torches staggered through the caves, and Adamante led the way with a long and easy stride. She walked after him, matching him step for step, the only sound being their footfalls on the carved rock floors. She opened her mouth to say something, Adamante stopped short. He knelt down to a plant in the rock, and motioned her close. "Drow sentry," he said, pointing to the delicate flower.


Mithrell stifled a laugh. "What is it supposed to do, smell good?" She giggled and patted him on the shoulder, then strode past. Before Adamante could speak another word, he was slammed in the head by a leafy vine, sending him face-first into the stone wall. She turned as she heard the sickening crunch, then screamed. Instantly, vines whipped from the tiny flower to encircle her hands and feet, then lifted her from the ground. She struggled in midair as the plant pulled her taut, rendering her motionless. Two more vines snaked out from the crevice in the rock, ending in vicious looking claws. She opened her mouth to scream, and instantly another vine wrapped around her mouth, stifling the gasp. Trembling, she waited for the worst, then hears a ripping noise.


She felt lighter, freer... she looked down to see the plant had torn her clothing to shreds. She shook her head, not understanding what would make a plant do something like that. She watched, then, as the little flower grew and blossomed, three vines extending from it. She saw that these vines were not like the others, this time ending in purple ends and dripping sticky sweet nectar. They snaked towards her writhing form, and she felt the vine around her mouth loosen and slip free.


She still did not understand what was happening, even as the vine around her mouth snaked down her back, then towards her front. She felt the plant encircle both her breasts in a figure eight, then draw tight. Her breathing quickened, and she moaned as the end of the vine split in two , then began flicking her nipples back and forth. One of the purple-tipped tentacles lifted before her eyes, then suddenly slipped past her lips and into her mouth. She tasted honey-sweet nectar on its tip as it remained enveloped in her mouth, the end of the vine drooling the substance as her breasts continued to be manipulated. Then, her eyes widened in sudden realization as her legs were spread.


She fought against it futilely as she was spread before the plant, the other two violet-tipped vines snaking towards her. She groaned as she tried to squirm away, then screamed deep in her throat as the first entered her. She felt her insides being coated in cool nectar, and immediately felt a tingling in the walls of her sex. Knowing there was a third there, she only moaned as it entered her from behind, spreading her tight nether hole into accepting its length. Then all was still. There she was, bound hand and foot by four deep green vines, a lighter vine encircling, squeezing her breasts and flicking her nipples, and three cock-vines in her mouth and nether holes. Then, it started moving.


The tingling in her sex soon began to fill her ass, and she moaned louder as all three began thrusting in and out of her. She drank deeply of the nectar in her mouth as the pace quickened, and another vine began tickling and stroking her clit. She bucked and writhed against the penetration, her body undulating in lust as she lost track of time, of her senses, became unaware of anything but the fullness inside her. She was dimly aware of her surroundings, but not enough to protest as she was penetrated deeper and deeper by the vines.


She felt her peak coming close, and she moved harder against the penetration. The pace became furious, a maddened frenzy of pleasure as she was slammed again and again by the plant, her body screaming for release. The vine in her mouth pulled out, and she screamed in ecstasy as she came, her body thrashing, her muscles squeezing the vines inside her. She felt the plant reach climax as well, feeling her insides being bathed in a cool sticky fluid, and felt the same being sprayed on her heaving breasts, an odd orange color. She slumped forwards, the vines the only things holding her up. Dimly, she was aware of the plant retreating back into its crevice, the color changed from white to red.


A minute later, Adamante came to. He shook his head, looked over at Mithrell, and gasped. He ran over to her, cradled her in his arms, and whispered, his voice filled with dread. "Did the plant take you?" Her weak nod and the smile across her lips was all he needed to know. "M'Lady, that plant's nectar is poison... we need to get it out of you now." She did not comprehend his words, the delicious warmth flooding her belly and moving higher. She suddenly moaned, her hands grasping his head as he climbed between her thighs.


She felt his tongue licking her, his fingers penetrating her where only moments before she had been taken by the mysterious flower. His motions were swift, thorough, and she felt her muscles once again contracting under the pleasure. His hands spread her thighs, then his fingers slipped past her nether lips and into her channel. She felt his fingers hooking and scraping her walls as he continues tonguing her, stopping briefly to spit out the fluids. He was thorough, and she hovered in the brink of orgasm as he cleaned her.



She felt herself flipped over, and raised to her knees. She clawed at the stone as his tongue drove into her ass, sucking and licking all around her hole. She screamed in ecstasy as his fingers continued stroking and rubbing her clitoris, the climax taking her body over again. She screamed his name, and sparkled lights sprang to life above them both as he kneeled behind her, his tongue deep inside her ass, his fingers upon her sex. She collapsed onto the stone floor as the tremors left her, and she dimly felt his arms lifting her and cradling her as he sat against the wall.


When she came to again, she was fully dressed once more. He sat there watching her, a look of worry on his face. When she smiled at him, he sighed in satisfaction and rose. "That was very dangerous, m'Lady.. .Drow are not fond of overly aggressive women, hence this sentry... that is why I was trying to stay in front of you and I tried to warn you." She looked down, and his words became softer, more soothing. "Please, be more careful, m'Lady."


"As you wish, Addy." She looked up to see his smile, and could not help but grin as she rose. The warmth was gone from her now, replaced with a soft glow of a woman satisfied. She followed him through the tunnels towards Menzo, thinking silently that she should bring one of those plants home with her...


 



Chapter III: Wax On… 

The streets of Menzoberranzan were busy as usual with drow, merchants peddling funguses, weapons, and other pottery and wares. The early market hustle and bustle parted for the two kender, speaking in hushed voices. They were curious about the colors of the female's battle armor, and the jingling of the bells covering it. They were only slightly less intrigued by the male cloaked in black following her, wielding a quarterstaff of polished walnut. Nobody barred their way as they went into the Black Dragon Inn, located just one block from the gates to the castle.


The drow behind a counter, scowling, looked at the two entering his establishment. In a very tense voice, dripping with malice, he spoke in elven to the security personnel flanking the door. The two elves, large for their race, moved in, but were cut short by a feminine voice. She spoke the tongue as well as if she had been raised by them, ordering the two not to lay a finger upon her. She looked up at the innkeeper, and spoke in flawless drow. "I am Mithrell Kendermore, and I will be staying in this hotel."


The clerk looked at her in surprise a moment, then reclined in his chair in an easy position, of one used to being in power. He spoke easily, with an accent that indicated him a distant relative of the House of Do'Urden. "And how exactly do you plan to pay for this?" At this, the black robed guard trailing her, apparently also easy with the tongue, stepped forward. He brought forth a small satchel of black velvet and handed it to Mithrell. She took it and turned it upside down, revealing a king's ransom in platinum doubloons. Mithrell giggled as she almost saw the pieces reflected in the greedy owner's eyes.


"I assure you, lord innkeeper, that we have enough to pay for this." He stammered to the bellboy, who ran forward wearing the typical gaudy uniform of red and yellow, with twin rows of brass buttons running down the chest. He guided them to the best room in the inn, at the very back. He threw open the doors of carved mahogany doors, and ushered them inside. Mithrell smiled at the room. It was very spacious, almost like being in a mansion of their own. A stove sat in the corner, and an oaken table sat in the middle of the room, large enough for a dozen people to sit comfortably around. Adamante turned to the bellboy, his black robes flowing, and bowed him out. As he closed the doors, Mithrell flopped down on the bed.


Adamante set to preparing lunch as Mithrell polished her battle armor, humming softly to herself. Almost an hour had passed, and she did not notice until the enticing aroma of jasmine-scent candles filled her senses. She looked up to see Adamante smiling, dressed in dress robes of black. He bowed to her and pulled her chair out for her to seat. She gave him a peck on the cheek before sitting, and watched him sit next to her. They talked as they ate the remaining venison from last night's kill, speaking of the looks on the faces of the populace at seeing such a bright and cheery kender enter their stronghold.


As they finished, Mithrell reclined in her chair as Adamante took care of the dishes. When he returned, he tripped and fell against the table, which shook one of the candles loose. It fell to the edge of the table with a soft thud, and Mithrell gasped as a droplet of wax hit her bare calf. Adamante looked up to apologize, and noticed something about her... a quickening of her breath and a flush adorning her skin. He smiled to himself as he set the candle back up and lit it again, also lighting a third candle smelling of cinnamon. He pushed the candles aside and looked to her, watching her peel the cooling wax from her flesh. She looked into his eyes, and blushed furiously at what she saw there.


He left her alone for a while, while he washed the dishes. She played absently with the wax she peeled from her skin, humming to herself, and did not notice Adamante sneaking up behind her. She did not feel him slip beneath the table and attach lengths of silken rope to the legs. She only noticed when suddenly he grabbed her neck, putting a paralyzing nerve pinch on her shoulder. She stood limp, unable to react, as he placed her on the tabletop and bound her hand and foot to the legs of the table. When sensation finally returned, she pulled at the bonds, then slumped back as she realized that she would not be able to break them. She watched him walk around the table, observing her heightened breathing and the crimson her face and neck were turning. He draw a long knife from his belt, and she shivered with it touched her belly.


She felt the tip slide up her body, drawing a thin line of blood while at the same time it tore through her travel tunic. A quick motion to either shoulder, and he laid open the front of it to his eyes. He pulled at the material, and it slipped form her body with ease. He grinned evilly as he did the same to her legs, sliding the dagger first down the outside of her left leg then up the outside of her right. He reached between her thighs, pinching her sex roughly before yanking the cut leather from her. She lay nude on the table before him, her bright violet eyes watching him, her breathing rapid and shallow, her chest, neck, and face flushed with desire. She watched him as he jumped onto the table, and kneel between her legs. "Don't say a word, m'Lady, or I will leave you like this for the drow to find and use as they wish."


She knew what the dark elves liked doing with bound and helpless females... she clamped her mouth shut and nodded. He smiled and lowered his face to her sex, breathing cool air on her heated flesh. She watched him reach into his belt and pull a vicious-looking dagger from a concealed scabbard. He slammed the dagger flat against the table, and she heard the metal snap as she flinched. He held up the dagger once more, the blade gone from it, and now holding a polished handle of maple wood. She felt him trail the cold metal pommel, rounded to make it easy to hold, down the valley of her breasts, across her tight belly. She moaned softly when it touched her sex, then shivered as she felt it move lower still. She lifted her hips at his unspoken command, and nodded bleakly as he pressed it against her rosebud, then pushed inside.


Just as the plant had done in the tunnel to the city, she felt her ass being penetrated roughly. She moaned in pleasure as she felt the cross guard press against the flesh of her curvaceous rear end. She closed her eyes, breathing heavily at the sensation, and cried out suddenly as she felt another item being pushed into her sex. She looked to see the handle of a bullwhip being forced into her, Adamante's eyes upon hers, a crazed lust filling them. She quaked as it filled her, until the knotted end pressed against her cervix.


He wound the trailing end of the whip around her hips and thighs, binding it inside her in a harness-style rope lock inside her. She watched him leave her then, go behind her, leave her alone with her trickling sex, her pleasantly stretched ass, and her own heat before she saw a length of silk being drawn over her eyes. She closed them as it was tied behind her head, binding her eyes shut. She heard rustling around her, and she shivered in anticipation, then silence. Suddenly, she screamed.


A sizzling drop of wax dripped from the candle in Adamante's hand onto the exposed curve of her left breast. She moaned, her flesh burning pleasantly, and she cried out again as another drop hit her right. Soon, she was moaning, jumping slightly each time a new drop hit her mounds of flesh. She felt the skin being drawn tight under the shrinking wax, making her nipples agonizingly hard. She silently prayed he would not find them, but another voice inside her was telling her that she would like it. After a moment, the drops stopped, and she felt his breath warm her ear. "m'Lady, do try to remain quiet..."


She gulped and nodded, bracing herself. She bit her lip, drawing blood, as the first bolt of pain lanced through both nipples simultaneously, the wax dribbling in swift drops onto the rosy nubbins. She slackened in her bonds as the wax cooled, tightening her nipples in an exotic soft clamp. He sighed softly in pleasure as he regarded his work, then she felt his shadow looming over her. She could smell his cock inches from her as wax trailed lightly down her front. She quivered in both anticipation and fear as he stopped just short of her mound.


Another short pause, and she felt the cold touch of steel to her pubis. He whispered, 'don't move," before drawing the razor-sharp blade across her mound. The lush curls that grew there fell away as he groomed her there, starting with the fleshy mound before moving down. She felt her sex moisten, adding lubrication to the blades as it pulled down the right side of her, leaving the flesh there chilled and very smooth. She bit her lip as it drew up the left side. An agonizingly delicate breath of air upon her, and the last curls were swept away.


He felt his hands undoing the whip and pull it from her, then set it aside. She whispered softly, "no, please... don't..." He smiled as he knelt between her legs, the begging half-heard, drowned out in the lust for him to continue. He took the hood of her clit and drew it up with two fingers, exposing the sensitive nub. She screamed loudly, unable to help herself, as the first drops hit the flesh. A minute passed, wax hitting at swift intervals on and around the burning nubbin of her desire, before he finally stopped. She felt it begin to swell as the wax cooled, locking it in place. She was dimly aware of him releasing the hood back to cover it, and she heard him blow out the candles.


His weight was released from her, and he looked deeply into her blindfolded eyes. He smiled as he reached down, placing the length of his manhood against the opening of her sex. She moaned, her hips bucking upwards as he slid home, claiming her body in one long stroke. He began to thrust in her slowly, then with building speed as she thrashed her head from side to side in ecstasy.


She soon realized, in one sudden burst of thought, why he had encased her clit in wax. The combination of the lust of his rigid cock filing her again and again, combined with the lack of sensation to her clitoris was driving her insane. She bucked hard against his thrusts, trying to stimulate herself as he thrust in and out of her. Her motions swiftly became desperate, rolling her hips around, stretching the ropes, her voice quietly pleading with him to fuck her harder, the sensations combining in an agonizingly pleasurable wave through her.


She felt him reach underneath her, grabbing the length of blade still protruding from the dagger hilt in her ass. He soon began thrusting into her with the same speed and power both above, in her sex, and below in her nether hole. She bucked and writhed, he climax coming slowly. She suddenly cried out in pleasure, the wax now dripping on her breasts once more. The drops quickened as she whimpered, and when she finally reached her climax, the wax was running in a steady stream across her breasts. She saw light flashing even through the blindfold as the orgasm ripped through her body, and heard him cry out in amazement and ecstasy, slamming into her hard one last time before unloading his thick white cum inside her.


They lay entwined for several minutes, feeling him soften and finally slip from her sex. He pulled the dagger hilt out and cast it aside, then slipped from atop her to the side of the table. He smiled as he drew the blindfold from her eyes, looking into them. What he saw reflected in the wide violet orbs was lust and satisfaction, and she mouthed a silent thanks to him as she moaned softly, relaxing in her bondage. She jumped as his fingers broke the cast of her clit, pulling the two pieces of wax from beneath the protective hood, and smiled as he carefully set them aside. She hummed patiently as he swept her breasts clean of the stops and streams of wax, and smiled more broadly as he carefully removed the casts of her nipples and set them aside.


As he finally released the ropes from her arms and legs, she sat up and kissed him gently upon the lips, then slid from the table to dress. Not another word was spoken as Adamante set aside the pieces of wax, then began preparing supper. She reclined in the bed, nude still, her body still quivering in the aftershocks of pleasure, and wondering what she could do to him to punish him for taking her... to punish him, and to thank him.


 



Chapter IV: Romance

It had been a week since Adamante and Mithrell left the subterranean depths of Menzoberranzan. They were walking along the well-worn trail towards the town of Waterdeep when Adamante suddenly stopped them. She sensed trouble when he moved before her, meeting her questioning gaze. “m’Lady, there are some matters that I need to take care of before we reach Waterdeep. I was wondering if you would release me to take care of these before we meet back up at the Black Dragon.”


Mithrell sighed, her gaze dropping down. It was three days before the St. Valentieus celebration, and she had several things she wanted to tell him. She bit her lip, closing her eyes a moment, before returning her eyes to his. “If you must, Addy, then I release you. Please, though, don’t be gone more than three days. I will miss you.”


A glint stole into Adamante’s eyes, and he bowed his head as well before Mithrell could catch it, his voice somber and heavy. “As you wish, m’Lady, so it shall be done.” He took a knee before her and kissed her hand, then turned west and sprinted off into the trees. She watched him go, a slight shiver passing through her. The shiver stopped abruptly as her gaze dropped to his well-formed backside, an instant before he vanished into a gully. Her hands fingered the twin elven short swords absently before she continued upon the path to Waterdeep.


She checked into a room at the Rushing River Inn, occasionally looking behind her, half-expecting to see her black-robed guard standing behind her. At long last, she checked into her room. She ran her fingers over the mahogany table, her gaze lingering over the candles. She shivered as she remembered that night in Menzo, and she clenched her thighs together at the fond memory. She ran her fingers unconsciously over her curves, remembering his hands... shaking her head, she climbed into bed. She turned the storm lamp down and laid back, her eyes staring unseeing at the wooden rafters. She closed the bright violet orbs, her fingers traveling down her beautiful form. In her mind she saw him, leaning over her, his breath warming her lips. His fingers became hers, traveling over her shoulders, down her collarbone. She gasped, a soft moan leaving her lips as her fingers found the aching nubs of her nipples. She squeezed and caressed them, just as he had done, before letting the digits flow over the perfectly rounded orbs, and lower still. She stiffened, her back arching as her fingers found the glistening petals of her woman’s flower. She bit her lip, a tremor flowing through her, as she caressed the sensitive lips, her fingers tracing their soft folds, smelling her own desire leak from them. Her breathing became swifter, more hoarse, as she let her fingers travel up to the pearl of her desire, stroking it gently.


She imagined him torturing her there, his fingers agonizingly light over the swollen pip, his lips inches from hers, his body so close. She whispered his name softly, and a cry rent from the very depths of pleasure burst from her lips as she slowly slid two fingers inside her channel. Her hips bucked as she started moving them back and forth, her thumb on her nub of pleasure, her nipples hard to aching, breath fast and desperate. Faster and faster she moved, until her hand was a blur, her only thought upon him and her aching need.


With stifled breath, growl of lust, and arching back, her peak took her over. She shuddered for long moments afterwards, her entire frame quaking with the aftershocks of her climax. She lifted her fingers to her lips, tasting of herself, and reached up to her cheek. She brushed a tear from her eye as she settled finally, sleep taking her as she wished he would.


The next day passed without incident. She rose, dressed, and went down to the marketplace. She perused through various wands, staves, weapons, and jewelry, before she finally settled. He will love this, she thought as she purchased a carved ebony quarterstaff, the top carved with the head of a dragon, the bottom ending in a sharp blade of steel, acid etched to form the dragon’s tail. She paid the 50 gold pieces for it, and took it back up to her room. She ate a light supper of ale, bread, cheese, and fresh fruit, then settled in for a long evening rest.


She arose the next day to the sounds of beating drums, clashing cymbals, and laughter. She dressed and walked to the balcony, and watched the opening festivities to the St. Valentieus celebration. She sighed softly as she did not see Adamante, and she went down to join in the fun. The day transpired a little sadly for Mithrell, taking her part in dancing with several amorous young males, all of whom she turned down, and sitting and watching. At sunset, she went back to the inn, reminding herself that he had business to take care of, and that she should not have expected him to return so soon. She walked back up to her room, noticing the lingering glances people gave to her as she walked, and the smiles on their faces. She opened the door and stepped inside.


Waiting for her there was Adamante Necronis. He was dressed in flowing dress robes of navy blue, a polished oak quarterstaff in his hand. All around him were roses of yellow, crimson, and black, with lilies, lavender, baby’s breath, and tulips scattered in. On the table were two candles of plated silver, their tips glowing with the light of two sprites captured for that sole purpose. The meal set there was exquisite: pasta with a rich cream sauce, topped with oysters, shrimp, and scallops. Her eyes looked to the wine bottle... an elven wine dated well over five centuries previous, with two hand-cut crystal chalices, both bearing the rune of eternity Mithrell saw so often on the weapons of her guard.


He rose and took a knee before Mithrell. “m’Lady, forgive me for being late. My business took me longer than I thought it would, and I promise to be back as per your commands the next time such an event should separate us.” There was a long moment of silence, and Adamante looked up to see her eyes brimming with tears, her lips moving but no words coming out. He rose and smiled, kissing her upon the lips gently, before guiding her to the table. A box that she did not notice there before was sitting before her plate, and his hand motioned over to her to open it. She unwound the intricate ribbon of crimson velvet and slowly pulled the two halves of the box apart. Her gasp of surprise rent the air as she pulled out a colorful wand, tied with bright streamers of crimson and silver. She swiftly cast Identify on the rod, and almost screamed when she found out what it was: a Wand of Wonder. She stared at him, dumbfounded, before she managed to stammer out a thank you. She reached behind her and pulled out the quarterstaff she purchased for him. He took it and smiled to her, his own eyes brimming with tears of happiness. He motioned her to the table and pulled out a seat for her. She took the proffered chair, and waited for him to sit.


They ate in silence, volumes being shared between their eyes. He smiled at her, and she blushed before gazing deep into his storm-grey orbs. Long moments of silence, never tense but always sharing, passed between them as they ate. When they finished, Adamante stood and took Mithrell by the hand, then waved his hand before taking her in his arms. Soft music began to play at his command, and they danced, a slow and caring dance, her head resting on his shoulder as they slowly revolved. She was soothed by the deep rumble of his voice, a soft murmur in her ears, though she heard every word. “Mithrell, since the day that you took me under your wing I have cared for you. More than a servant to their charge, but as a friend, and as more.” She looked into his eyes, eternal caring and understanding in her gaze as he continued. “What I am going to say is going to sound very strange, and maybe frightening, but I can no longer keep it inside.” She bit her lip, her cheeks flushing. “I love you, Mithrell Kendermore. Whatever fate brought us together, I am thankful for every day. With my role as your protector, I can keep you safe from any harm. I can always be here for you if you need me, and I will never leave you.”


Tears brimmed at her eyes as she stopped, her hands taking his. “I know, Addy... by St. Cuthbert, I know. I have seen the way you protect me... as hard as your namesake. There is more than money driving you to me... and I know it for a fact. I love you too, Adamante Necronis. More than words can say.” Their faces hovered inches away from one another, caring and devotion mirrored in each others eyes. Their lips met, and between the two, a kiss was shared so passionate it could make doves weep with joy.


As the kiss lingered, the two fell back onto the bed, covered with crimson satin sheets and black rose petals. He pulled away, and slowly began shedding his over-robes. Her fingers found the fastenings to her tunic, and she undid them without thought, their eyes locked upon one another. She only dimly noted the fresh scarring upon the left side of his chest, a rune of protection nestled between their two names. He stepped out of his pants as she slid hers to the floor, and she welcomed the comforting presence of his body atop hers as they slid back onto the bed.


By the light of a rosewood and oak fire blazing in the fireplace, their lips met again, and a cry of joy and fulfillment escaped Mithrell’s lips as they became one. Her back arched under his, pressing more firmly to his frame as the kiss grew more sensual. Their lips parted, tongues meeting and slowly intertwining as they made love. Sweat glistened from both of their bodies as they moved as one entity, the motions hypnotic, sensual, and loving. There was no wild abandon, no desperate headlong rush to climax. All that existed were them. No inn, no town, no world. Just an endless void in which existed only Mithrell Kendermore and Adamante Necronis. From their love a new life would spring forth. From their caring could it be sustained.


Time seemed to stretch into eternity as they were lost in the pleasure. Mithrell’s back arched, and she broke from the kiss to moan softly in pleasure. Her entire being seemed to concentrate, and then explode outwards in a white sheen of pure sensual delight. She could feel him stiffen, then shudder in pleasure, his warmth coating her insides in a pearly sheen of essence. She wrapped her arms around him, pulling herself up to press against him, and together they lay locked until they both quieted. With one last lingering kiss, they slipped off into slumber, the fire slowly dying away to ash, a new fire burning in their hearts, fueled be desire and caring eternally between them.



Chapter V: Ambush!

Mithrell awoke to find her guardian sitting over her bed, watching her sleep. She was not conscious of her nudity as she peeled back the covers, and only at his sudden lack of speech and coordination did she realize that her maddeningly beautiful curves were apparent to the morning sun, and to his easily embarrassed eyes. She laughed as she threw over herself a white shift, then covered that with a deep black cloak. His uniform was, as always, black silk combat robes and a deep brown quarterstaff, matching his eye color. He knelt before her, and she tousled his hair as she passed, beckoning him to follow her out of the room. He tossed a small pouch of coins to the innkeeper as she passed, and she walked out of the inn and into the village.


She asked him if he desired to take a quick detour to the mountain retreat, and his reply, same as always, rang in her ears: "As m'Lady wishes." She turned from the inn to a path leading out of town, through a forest and up the side of a gracious mountain.


As she walked, she made small talk with him: ideas for a new cloak, how families were, whether or not he had ever done anything more than try on clothes in a tailor's boutique. She sensed his blush even though she was before him, and his cowl is pulled over his face, and she laughed as her feet clicked against the stones of the dirt path. He replied that he had not, though if he had the right inspiration he would like to try a fitting of his very own. Mithrell laughed again, and continued on to her destination.


At the foot of the mountain two bandits dressed in flaming crimson tunics and pants, with bandannas over their faces, brandished swords at her and her guard, threatening her in an odd mix of Basic and Orc... leading them to seriously doubt their intelligence. Her guard immediately stepped forward, his voice a hiss of challenge as the quarterstaff spun lightning fast in the morning light. Both creatures sprang at him, and before she could think to assist her guard, the three was locked in combat.


The bandits seemed to know each other well as they strove to hack him into itty bitty bite-sized pieces. But the warrior is not so easily swayed, catching the blades on staff and spinning them away without thought, his motions lithe as water and lethal as a scorpion’s sting. Suddenly, he cried out in rage. He pressed the assault, first disarming both with a twist of the staff, then unleashing a flurry of blows upon them both. As the cowards turned to try and run, he charged after them, and tripped them with the oaken staff. Before then could react, the staff impaled them both in a less than comfortable place... straight up the ass. He grinned evilly as he spun the staff, sending the two bandits flying in opposite directions over the cliffs that lined the path. He wiped clean the wood and beckoned her ahead.


The rest of the trip passed without incident as she walked up the mountain. Finally, as she approached the door of the chalet, she stopped and waited for him to open the door. He swiftly followed her unspoken command, and she could feel his eyes upon her form as she climbed the stairs into the spacious home. As the afternoon passed away she sat and talked, having him fetch various items and watching him perform the tasks dutifully, the sweat-soaked clothes clinging to his skin. Finally, she suggested a spar. She motioned to the two elven short swords crossed above the mantle, and he readily agreed to her having them both against his staff. Her grin is evil as she proposed one final rule to the spar... no clothes allowed. She could see his throat tighten as his cheeks flushed crimson, but he readily agreed nonetheless.


She striped her shift off first, allowing her cloak to cover herself, though barely, as his eyes watched her. The twin points of her hardening nipples showed clearly through the black velvet, and the part in front showed the soft folds and smooth flesh of her sex. She saw a stirring in his black combat pants as he first striped himself of his shirt. A little bit round, but nonetheless pleasing to the eye. Then his pants... she had seen him nude before, but never in this state. His skin showed clear and unblemished, lightly muscled. And something else that surprised her... not a strand of hair adorning his entire body. He sensed her questioning gaze and replied that it is easier to move when body hair is not caught up in clothing. He assumed a guards stance: right foot before the left, shoulders angled towards her, staff held at his hip in an overhand-underhand grip... his skin flushed as his cock stood almost straight out from him.


She assumed an elven stance, low to the ground, blades held defensively, one high, and one low. She knew he did not see the blades, only the soft curves of her full chest, the delicious mounds of flesh moving with her breath. She decided to rectify the situation by striking at his torso. He quickly responded by spinning on his foot, catching the blade and throwing it to the side before striking at her flank. She parried the blow, and the fight began.


His arousal only increased as he watched her body flow with the grace of a spring rain, parrying each blow without effort and striking at him with speed. As the fight dragged on, she became more aggressive, forcing him back. She knew she was the better skilled of them both, and she decided it was appropriate to prove it to him again. She pressed the attack, and watched him stumble. Seeing her window of opportunity, she knocked the staff high and slipped behind him, dropping one sword and lifting his chin behind him, pressing the blade to his throat. He did not move, his breathing slightly quickened. "What will you do with me now, m'Lady?" he breathed. She feel his body quiver by the calf that spread his legs, the hard nipples that pressed against his back.


"I fancy a bit of swordplay, love," she snickered as the hand that held his head trailed lower, to his hardened cock. She heard him gasp as she took it's hard length in her hand. She stroked it, enjoying the way he gulped and moaned softly, letting her fingers pinch the violet head hard once in a while, to make sure he was still alive. His hands drooped to the knee that rested just underneath his cock, and he began rubbing her thigh and calf gently, his cock throbbing with his heartbeat under her fingers. She released her hold, then pushed him as her leg locked around his, forcing him to bend over at the waist, to catch himself on the table. She slip beneath him and watch his cock a moment, then took it into her mouth. He moaned loudly, enough to startle some birds on the windowsill. He whimpered like a child as her lips stroked around his member, feeling it swell and shiver between her lips. Her fingers find his ass, and she begin kneading it with long fingernails as her head bobbed up and down the length of his shaft. She slipped two fingers into his ass, knowing he would never resist her, and he did not disappoint, moaning as his hips pressed against the invading fingers.


She fingered him slowly as she sucked his cock, and suddenly took him all into her mouth. Moaning, she vibrated her throat around the sensitive head of his cock, and she was swiftly rewarded with his generously flowing seed. His hips pumped, pushing the length of flesh into her mouth as it shot it's molten seed in her throat, five spurts, six filling her mouth. She smiled as she let his member slip from her lips, then looked up at him as he looked down at her. She removed her fingers, and licked her lips seductively as she spoke. "Your punishment for loosing..." she let her fingers trail down her body, to her sex... smearing some of its juices on her Venus mound, then flicked her clit with her index finger. He immediately dropped to his knees, his tongue moving straight to the button of her desire, his finger spreading the petals of her sex, probing and searching.


His licked her like he knew her body better than she did. His tongue slipped beneath her clit's protective hood to circle the hardening flesh, his fingers splitting inside her sex and pressing up at her g-spot, making she cry out in pleasure. His fingers began pumping within her, his pinkie finding her own nether hole and insinuating it's way inside. Her hands grasped his head, her thighs clenching as he drank of her fluids, then pressed both hands together. He growled in his desire as he split his hands between the middle and ring fingers, then slowly he began to penetrate her...the top fingers slipping inside her wet pussy, the lower fingers, stretching and filling her tight ass. He fucked she with long slow strokes with those fingers, his tongue and lips punishing her clit. She moaned and panted, her hips bucking to the treatment. Soon she could not stand it anymore, and begged to cum... Again, he followed her order, sucking her clit hard as he spread his fingers inside her. Her scream of delight ripped through the air, her hands digging into his scalp as her orgasm tore through her like a wild boar, her entire body alight in sweet passionate heat, feeling him slow and stop as her orgasm subsided.


As he slipped back up her body, she feel his member pulsing gently against her thigh. She looked into his eyes, very seriously, as she reached down and grasped him, then pulled him to a sitting position. She faced towards him, and gently slid her sex over his throbbing cock, enveloping him in one fluid motion, His hands grabbed her ass and begin kneading it as she wrapped her legs around his back, and his lips and tongue found her left nipple as he helped she slide up and down his member. The pace quickened, to the tempo of her breathing, and his teeth pulled and twisted her nipple, his fingers pinching her ass, lightly, but enough to send waves of pleasure through her. He leaned forward and laid her upon her back, then started driving in her anew, the new angle lifting her hips as he bored into she. For several minutes, all that was heard was her ragged gasps, his grunts of pleasure, and the slapping of her bodies together in a cadence of desire.



He pushed hard into her and lifted her back to a sitting position, turning her around so she faced away from him. She feel him pause, then lift her body as if it weighed nothing, withdrawing his cock from her pussy and resting the head against the tight opening of her anus. She moan softly, a sound of desire that told him to continue, and slowly she feel her nether passage being opened, stretched by his member. As he slid fully within her, as she slowly got accustomed to the sensation of being filled, she feel another item pushing apart the lips of her sex, pushing inside her from there. Looking down, she saw a smooth cock of polished ebony wood slowly vanishing inside her moist grasping pussy.


Her shivers became uncontrollable as he began rocking, pumping a couple inches of his cock in her ass as the artificial invader began a motion all of it's own. The speed picked up, until she could no longer contain herself. Her hair flying, her breasts bouncing, she threw her head back and screamed as another, more powerful climax ripped her body into shreds of pure fire. Her channels throbbed against their invaders, and she was dimly aware of his cock swelling inside her, then jerking as it sent it's offering of warm sticky seed into her rear, her insides being bathed in a creamy white sheet. As she collapsed upon him, her breathing heavy, she felt him lift her and carried her to her bed. She was just awake enough to realize the sun was setting, and with a soft sigh of content she felt herself emptied. She curled up, perfectly happy, as he slipped into the bed behind her, his strong warmth cradling her close. He kissed her neck, and she drifted off into slumber, the sound of his breathing comforting her.



Chapter VI: Torment 

After a day of exploring the mountain and forests surrounding their chateau, Mithrell Kendermore and Adamante Necronis, her black-robed guardian, made their way back to the cabin. He watched warily at the sounds of the forest as they traveled a hidden path. She giggled slightly at his paranoia, knowing she herself had spells of warding set up around both of them that would prevent any sort if interference by the local wildlife. As the cabin rose into view, she heard his voice murmur softly, then the windows filled with the warm glow of firelight. He opened the door and let her in, and soft warmth poured over them both as he shut the door, warding the cold night air. She flopped into an overstuffed chair as he set about preparing their spiced cider. "Well, that was fun, wasn't it?" she said, giggling again. "I am not sure why wolves would choose to play with you, though I must admit you look good in tattered robes." She could sense his blush even though he was behind her and cowled.


"Fortunately for me, I know you well enough to include a spare cloak in my travel bag." He picked up the heavy black iron cauldron and set it over the flames, then turned to face her. "You are most certainly a devious lady, but you will never find me complaining."


She giggled and rose to standing. She kissed him once, hotly, on the lips before turning away to face the chair once more. "My shoulders are sore, Addy. Would you mind rubbing them for me?" She squared her shoulders, her back once again to him. She swore she could feel his breathing quicken and become more shallow even before the words escaped her lips. She smiled, a slight flush creeping over her chest as his hands encircled her. His fingers fumbled a moment on her intricate brooch, then she relaxed a little as her crimson furs fell away to the floor. She heard his soft moan as his eyes beheld her. The emerald green gown sparkling in the firelight, cut to accentuate her already perfect curves, the cut low in the back. She smiled a little wider as she felt his hands trembling on her shoulders, rubbing the muscles gently. She reclined against him, letting his hands take over.


He rubbed expertly there for long moments, the only sound in the room being the soft crackle of the fire. He moved a little lower, to begin massaging her collarbones, and she felt her body rising in response, her chest rising and falling with her quickening breath. She leaned further against him, and wiggled a little against his hips, making sure he knew she felt his hardening manhood. She looked up to him and whispered, a husky sound, sensual, able to madden his blood. "Lower." He did not waste any time, his fingers bravely sweeping down further to the curves of her breasts. She moaned softly as his fingers traversed the curves. She noticed after a while, and with a bit of frustration, that he was avoiding her rock-hard nipples. She looked up to him, about to speak, when she noticed a malicious glint in his eye. She leaned her head against his chest as his fingers cupped, squeezed, fondled, and worshipped her breasts, never touching her nipples.


His hand shifted for a moment, and she felt the straps of the dress slide off her shoulders, the silky material fell to the floor, and she sighed heavily as he slipped around to her front. Her breathing quickened as he looked into her eyes, then lowered his mouth to her nipple. She cried out as his lips roughly seized the nubbin, and he began attacking. His tongue lashed it, his lips pulled and twisted the pebble hardness. Then suddenly, she screamed in ecstasy as he bit down. She dimly felt his hands cup her rear in the haze she was in, and only noticed dimly that her magic had summoned forth a bed. She opened her eyes, noticing that her concentration was diverted at a crucial time in the casting of the spell, and the sheets blazed striped black and pink. She giggled slightly before moaning again, his attentions going to her other nipple. She gripped his head in her hands, smothering him against her chest, as he worked that breast with no less a fury.


When her nipples were so sensitive that even his breath sent shock waves through her system, he rose and spread her arms. He kissed her lips as he tied silk scarves to her arms, then snapped his fingers. The bindings instantly pulled taut, becoming one with the corner posts of the bed, and she smiled demurely as she tested them. "What do you plan on doing now, m'Lord?" she teased, arching her back to further divert his attention. He shook off the enchanting aura her lithe body instilled in him, and instead did the same to her ankles, binding them before pulling them tight and fastening them to the bottom posts. He stood and regarded her, nude, spread-eagled, her sex open, pouting, and dripping wet. Her nipples were hard and pink like pencil erasers, and her chest was heaving with her breath. She almost seemed to beg as he stripped then, his body gleaming in the firelight. She could see the outline of his hard cock, and she licked her lips at it's sight.


He knelt between her legs and whispered something. She could not recognize it, but moaned as she felt something trail up and down the length of her sex, drawing moisture from it. Her moan soon became a gasp as she felt it press against the tight pucker of her nether passage, and lifted her head as he rose his hand. In it was clutched a green plug, shining with her juices. She quivered at it's sight, and she licked her dry lips. "What do you plan on doing with that, m'Lord," she breathed, her hands flexing against the bonds.


His voice was low, dangerous, a sound that sent shivers up her spine, and made her sex burn with yearning. "I am going to take this and slowly, ever so slowly, force it into your tight ass. I am going to fill you stretch you, make you beg for it before it locks itself inside." She felt a hot rush through her body as her cheeks blazed crimson, her body struggling against the bonds, her heat apparent to his eyes. She felt the tip of the plug press against her and resisted for a moment, then gave way before his insistence. Her tight hole began to fill, stretching slowly, his eyes locked upon hers as his hand pressed ever closer, further inside her body. She thought, dimly as the lust coursed through her, that she would surely burst with it's size. She moaned when he stopped, her hole stretched further than it had before, a deliciously painful sensation ripping through her loins. When she sensed he was not going to move, she began babbling deliriously.


"Please, m'Lord... fill me with it, push it inside me, please..." her voice was high, needing,, wanting, lustful. She screamed in pleasure as he slammed it hard beyond the final barrier, the thin stem enclosed tightly by her tight ass. She saw him rise between her legs, watched his heartbeat as it pulsed through the veins of his throbbing cock, and quivered, her lips moving, no coherent sound forming as the deep violet head brushed her sex. She soon began forming words, her hips bucking against his. "I need it.. Please, m'Lord... give it to me.... please, touch me.." Her sex burning with want, a shiver coursing through her body as she teetered so close.


A low growl assailed her ears. She almost climaxed from the very words set forth... "Yes, m'Lady." She lifted her head, a high wail of pleasure escaping her throat as his cock slammed home inside her, burying its length within her in one solid thrust. She moaned as he set a violently fast pace, his hips slamming full-length in and out of her dripping sex, the very bed creaking against the power. It did not take long before her body began to tighten, her moans silenced by his lips roughly claiming hers. He broke the kiss, his voice low, commanding. "Cum, m'Lady."


She tightened and screamed again, this time a soul-rending shriek of pleasure as wave after wave of pleasure coursed through her. She felt like she was slammed against a wall time and again as her climax took her. She felt his member swell within her, and heard his cry, deep and guttural, as he climaxed within her. His hot cum pelting her insides as his body shuddered with the pleasure. For hours it seemed to last, and she swore she could hear her magic rage out of control, fireworks erupting over the bed as the pleasure took her to new heights.


When they finally came down from their high, her eyes opened to look into his, the last remnants of light fading behind him. He slipped off her, dissolved the bindings and the plug, and kissed her gently. They looked beneath them, and smiled sheepishly. His magic had finished what she had started... the entire room covered in elegant trappings of crimson and black velvet and silks. They looked into each other’s eyes long and deep, and he kissed her passionately, a lingering kiss. He wrapped his arms around her, and they drifted into slumber, both smiling as the sweat dissolved from their bodies.



 Chapter VII: Waterfalls

"You will never win!"


Mithrell Kendermore strode through the trail, her voice angry. Her swords glimmered in the afternoon light, her eyes bright as she looked around for any sign of her guard's passing. "Impossible," she thought as she scanned the trail. Not one footprint, broken twig, even a blade of grass bent wrong. Nothing was there. She growled in her frustration as she continued along the secluded path, her eyes intent on the ground before her. So intent, that she almost missed the sound of a snapping twig behind her. Almost.


With blinding speed she whirled, catching Adamante Necrosis’s staff inches away from her head. With a cry of elation she pressed the attack, her blades flashing left and right, striving to get past his guard. But he strove back with impossible cunning, each blow of blade caught on oaken staff, and not a scratch bestowed upon either of them. She pushed him back through the forest and into a clearing near their home, the pace furiously fast and amazingly accurate. They stopped in the middle of the plain, his staff striking left and right, her blades parrying each attack before delivering one of her own. For a half hour they stood like this, neither opponent gaining the advantage. Suddenly, he spun the staff, pinning both blades beneath the length of wood. He flipped to stand on his hands, and when Mithrell wrenched her blades up he flipped over her, landed in a crouch, and thrust his staff between her legs. As she spun to face him, her feet got tripped up, and she fell heavily to the ground. An instant later, he was straddling her, both blades pinned beneath his feet, the staff pressing up against the crook of her neck.


He grinned and spun the staff away, then lowered his hand to help her up. The sun was setting in the west, and it would not be long before night fell. She took his hand and spun behind him, lifting her sword to his throat. "Never let your guard down," she giggled, then screamed playfully as his hand caught hers, spinning it away, then lifted her own blade to her slender neck. He laughed as she went limp in his arms, then she sheathed the blades, took his offered arm, and walked back up to the cabin.


Adamante cleaned up the dishes after dinner, setting them next to the sink. An Unseen Servant washed them dutifully as he walked back to the table, then kneeled at her feet. "m'Lady, is there anything else that you would like?" His voice was soft, soothing, and she smiled as she tousled his hair.


"Yes, Addy. Please start a fire for me. For some reason I'm chilled to the bone tonight." She watched as he rose and walked over to the fireplace. She watched him lift his hands towards the piled logs and whisper faintly. Her flesh flushed as the sudden warmth poured over her body, a soft sigh escaping her lips. He walked back towards her as she rose, strode past him, and stood before the fire. "Thank you, Addy. This feels so good."


Adamante smiled, then clapped his hands. The unseen servant strode towards them, a long green nightgown held out to him. He took the dress, and examined the material with his fingers and eyes. After a moment, he bowed to the servant, and turned back to Mithrell. "Here, m'Lady. You are tired, and should get some rest." She looked back at him over her shoulder, and smiled as she turned back to face the fire.


"My arms and legs are so sore from our fight today, I doubt I could even lift them," she said as she flopped her arms, mostly for dramatic effect. She smiled as she mouthed the next words to come from his lips.


"Can I assist you, m'Lady?" Always so predictable, he was. She enjoyed being able to know what he was going to do.. It made her life all the more fun. She only groaned in answer, so he wrapped his arms around her, his fingers sliding up her sides. She smiled as his lips pressed against her neck, and she felt lighter as the heavy cloak of wool dropped away. Her flesh tingled in a way that had nothing to do with the temperature of the air as his fingers found the jingling buttons of her tunic, feeling her flesh freed with each fastening undone. She arched her back, pulling her shoulders back, and allowed the silky tunic to fall away from her. She shivered again as his hands slipped down her sides, his lips kissing small places down her back, before his fingers found the lacings of her pants.


Her flesh broke out in gooseflesh as the lacings came free, and she moaned softly as she felt the tight leather creep down her smooth thighs, muscled legs, then collapsed in a pile around her ankles. Her voice was tremulous, but commanding as she spoke. "I was planning on a bath, but I like this idea better..." her hand crept back as he stood, and lingered over his codpiece, squeezing there hard enough to make him know her intent fully. She snapped her fingers, and instantly they were transported to their waterfall, in a grotto behind the shimmering sheet of water. He yelped in surprise as first he found that his clothes were mysteriously left behind in the cabin, and second the shock if the cold spray striking his flesh. She giggled as she snapped her fingers again, and heard him laugh at the enchantment she wove. The color of the waters changed from a dull silver to all the colors of the rainbow.


The turned to face him then, her hands exploring his muscled form, across the delicately chiseled form gleaned from years of fighting and life. "Everything is as it should be now," she whispered as her hands roved all over him, from his shoulders, down his chest, playing with his hardening nipples and flicking them before moving around him. She sighed as his hands did the same to her, his hands finding refuge on the full mounds of her breasts. She grinned evilly and pushed him backwards, straight into the water. A sharp cry from her lips, "Bios," and a plant wrapped vines around his flailing arms and legs, binding him . The plant lifted him into the air, the full moon shining on his dripping flesh. She took a moment to regard him, his struggling form, and the way his balls and cock bounced and swayed like a charmed serpent before her eyes. She looked up into his eyes, and flicked the head of his cock before taking him into her mouth.


A cry of ecstasy escapes his lips as her mouth enclosed his member, her tongue torturing it as her lips slid down its length. He moaned as her fingers played with his balls, then pressed gently against the rosebud of his anus. Soon he was gasping, his form struggling, trying to force more of him into her mouth. She teased him for long moments, her head bobbing up and down his shaft, her fingers caressing, squeezing, and fondling his sac. She moaned as a pearly drop of his precum hit her tongue, and she attacked him mercilessly, using every trick she knew to torture him, her teeth grazing the underside of his cock, her tongue flicking the head as her fingers continued to play with other areas. It seemed as if he had been there for an eternity, the pleasure overloading him. He whimpered faintly, looking down to her. His voice was soft, needing... "m'Lady, I am going to cum..."


She let his manhood slip from her mouth with a "pop," and she looked him seriously in the eye. "Please do, for I am very thirsty." She dove back onto his cock, swallowing him down to the roots. He threw his head back, her name upon his lips, the cry a feral sound, filed with lust and passion as his cum shot into her mouth. She drank down every drop greedily, her throat milking him as he continued to shudder. Her lips suckled him even after his climax ended, until he cried out for her to stop. With a smile she let his softening manhood slip from her lips, then she snapped her fingers.


The plant dropped him straight into the water as she strode to the edge of the pool, the moonlight illuminating her. She watched as he crawled out of the water, watching her. His voice was a soft whisper as he regarded her form, his eyes focused on the dripping cleft of her sex. "m'Lady, May I..?"


She smiled and said softly, "Yes. Take me, if it would please you." Her smile quickly vanished as he clapped his hands, and she felt her arms and legs bound as they had moments before done him. They lifted her to him, and she screamed as he attacked her pussy. Her juiced dripped down his face as his lips and tongue suckled, nibbled, bit, and caressed every inch of her, until she was gasping for breath. He left her after a moment, then called out. Instantly, two vines protruded from the water, their appearance similar to his own cock. His lips attacked her clit, sucking hard and biting softly as the cock-vines penetrated her, front and back, roughly. She screamed in pleasure as she came instantly, her thick juices flowing like the waterfall behind them. He let his fingers take over abusing her clit as his tongue licked up every drop of her nectar. He did not let his fingers stop, the vines thrusting, and she fell off the brink into another climax. She opened her mouth, the thought seriously on her mind about begging him to stop, when he wove the vines away. He gently released her clit, and caught her in his arms as the plant released her, and he kissed her lips. She kissed back, the mingling flavor of their juices intoxicating.


He transported them back to their cabin, where he laid her in the bed. Sleep soon overtook her as he slipped into bed behind her, pulling the covers up over them both. She felt his body against hers, and drifted into slumber, to sleep deeply…



Chapter VIII: Understanding

Days and months passed, Mithrell and Adamante each going their separate ways during the day; she to her tracking, he to his mercenerial skills. Each night they would retire to their mountain lodge on the wayward face of Mount Nevermind. Each night they would relate to one another the adventures of their day, his stories filled with the thrill of hunting, hers with the subtle grace of following a neko-stalker across trackless stone. Each night they would retire to their bedroom, hidden away behind their library, decorated with priceless works of art from the greatest artisans of Krynn, and slip into slumber wrapped in each others arms.


 


But Adamante was a restless soul. Never sleeping for more than an hour at a time, he would often lay awake and watch Mithrell sleep, his fingers tracing delicate curves and whorls across her smooth flesh, thrilling silently at the feel of her blood pulsing lazily beneath his fingertips. His lips would brush her ear, and his blood would be sent aflame by the soft murmurs of pleasure she would make in her sleep.


 


She always knew what he did, and was silently pleased that she was able to hold his attention so fully, yet when his wandering hands woke her up, she would chastise him that she needed to work in the morning, much the same as he did. It never stopped him, though perhaps it should have. Later, he would think, would I try to quell the curiosity. But for now, let me be to my caresses.


 


But one night, it was her hands that roamed.


 


Adamante virtually fell through the door, late in the night, his robes in tatters, blood dripping down his arms. As he staggered to the table, Mithrell watched on silently, a slight smirk upon her lips as she sipped her tea. "Rough day, huh?" All Adamante did was to flip her off as he slumped down at the table, wrapping his arms with long strips from his cloak. She waited in silence, gazing over the bone china rim of her teacup as he shrugged his robes from his shoulders, the crisscross of the scars across his chest and shoulders enthralling her. Finally, as he cinched the knot of the bandage tight, his voice graced her ears.


 


"Three ogres on steroids and an overzealous wild mage with delusions of grandeur... it's a miracle I survived." he groaned again, and took up his cup of tea in a shaking hand, downing it's contents. He looked up to her, and winced slightly. "I am sorry, my Lady... but I need to get some sleep before fall over." With that he rose and, his body shrugging off the robes and cloak, fell facedown, asleep, upon the bed.


 


Mithrell sat there for the longest moment, watching him, wondering what could possibly have done that to him... and with tender care she roes, summoning an unseen servant to bring her a washcloth and a basin of cool water, sinking to her knees beside the bed and gently tending to the wounds that crisscrossed his body. Her hands touched the lattice of scars, recognizing the strokes of an ogre scourge... silently brushing a tear from the corner of her eye as she dabbed the wounds clean, and pressed soft kisses to each cut. He stirred softly, a soft moan escaping his lips at her touch... and suddenly she understood what it was that captivated Adamante so much about her. It wasn't her body, it wasn't her curves or her lips... it was her heart. Her mind. The fact that he would die rather than see her be hurt.


 


She pressed a soft kiss to the small of his back, and slipped up into bed with him. The cool silk of her nightgown assuaged the burn of the cuts on his back, and another soft moan escaped him as she slipped off into slumber beside him.


 


She woke up in the dead of night, the moon hidden behind clouds, the only light coming from two muted spheres to either side of the bed. She watched the shadows dance across his pale flesh, her hands tracing his shoulders, over the scars...


 


She realized he was panting softly, her body growing warm with the memories of his touch... her thighs pressing together as her hands continued to rove over his body. Her hands wrapped around him, her fingers brushing over his nipples, down across the flat expanse of his torso... down further, through the curls of hair there before finally grasping his semi-hard shaft. He moaned softly, still asleep, and she began to stroke him gently, feeling his body react even though he was still deep in slumber...


 


Her hands grew more insistent, soft panting breaths escaping her lips as her fingers squeezed, feeling his pulse throb in his manhood. His body shivered beneath her, his voice escaping his lips in soft whimpers as he turned, exposing his body to her hands... and soon, her lips. She kissed her way from his neck, down his chest, watching his eyes flutter open as her tongue trailed wet lines from his belly button down, pressing a gentle kiss to the shaft. His hips lifted, his mind clouded with the fog of sleep and the haze of lust overwhelming him. His hands clawed blindly at the sheets as her lips slowly devoured him, the warm confines of her mouth making him gasp. The delicate sensations of the ridges of her palate dragging down the plum made his fists clench, until finally her throat welcomed the intrusion, her lips brushing the root as his eyes blinked unseeing at her.


 


She couldn't tell whether he was awake or asleep... but nor did she care. Her nails raked his inner thighs as her tongue examined each throbbing vein in her mouth. She tasted the salt of his sweat, the tart-sweet flavor of his arousal, basked in the heat rolling off his flesh. Dimly a part of her mind tried to reign her passion in, thinking the same words she would say to him night after night... that they both needed sleep... and then the next moment found her straddling his hips, sinking down, a trembling sigh escaping her at the thrill of sensation chaining up her spine like lightning striking the forest beyond.


 


For one crystalline moment the world stood still... Adamante's eyes slid into focus upon Mithrell's form. He could count the beads of sweat on her forehead, feel the tension of her body upon him. Mithrell looked down, saw his eyes locked upon her... in that same moment, she looked into his green eyes... she could count the flecks of gold in those orbs of light, feel the coarseness of his breath beneath the hands pressed to his chest.


 



As if by the will of the Gods, their eyes slipped closed, and for the briefest of instants they watched that moment drop through the air, counted each facet that was a new sensation sparkle in the bell of that perfect point in time, watched it race to the stone below...


 


And, in the next moment, the world imploded around them, that crystal bell shattering into uncountable pieces of pure ecstasy, their joined cries of passion the chiming melody of that shattered instant, each spasm of their climax-ravaged bodies a different shard of light dancing from the broken fragments. The echoes of their voices ran through the mountain lodge, the soft crackle of the fire offering it's counterpoint to the symphony of pleasure slowly resonating to nothingness within the stone and timber confines of their paradise.


 


Their eyes remained closed, Mithrell's arms giving way beneath her, her frame collapsing upon his, passed out before they collided with one another. The night passed, their bodies tangled in one another, sheets raveled around their legs, all but ignored in their slumber. The soft chirps of crickets, hooting of owls, and other sounds of the night gradually returned, their own chorus of nature broken by a tracker and her mercenary.

Chapter IX: A Visitor

style='font-family:Garamond;mso-bidi-font-family:Arial'> 


style='font-family:Garamond;mso-bidi-font-family:Arial'>Mastioc Auurius stood overlooking the cliffs, his arms folded behind him as his slitted gold eyes swept the forest below him. His eyes spotted his target: a small mountain cabin nestled in a grove of oak. A smile curled his lips, revealing perfectly even teeth as he leapt from the cliff, springing down the rocks with the dexterity of his father before landing in a crouch in a glade of elm. He brushed some rock dust from his cloak, and then ran for the cabin, his ears taking in the sounds of a furious battle.


style='font-family:Garamond;mso-bidi-font-family:Arial'> 


style='font-family:Garamond;mso-bidi-font-family:Arial'>Mithrell swept around, her spear sweeping through the air at Adamante's legs. Necronis back flipped, and brought his glaive around in a killing stroke, only to be met by the short sword of Auurius. His voice was soft, but commanding. "You will not strike a lady in my presence, sir; else you will taste my blade."


style='font-family:Garamond;mso-bidi-font-family:Arial'> 


style='font-family:Garamond;mso-bidi-font-family:Arial'>Adamante paused, then flipped the glaive back to an attention position and bowed slightly. "We weren't expecting you for quite some time, Master Auurius - we were just trying to get some training in before you got here. Please, join us for a light lunch... we'll give you the grand tour." Adamante smiled and bowed to Mastoc then turned towards the mountain lodge, Mithrell and the being in close pursuit.


style='font-family:Garamond;mso-bidi-font-family:Arial'> 


style='font-family:Garamond;mso-bidi-font-family:Arial'>As they reached the lodge, while Mithrell gave Mastoc a tour of the lodge, Adamante busied himself with preparing a light salad of mountain greens. As they came back, Mastoc shouldered off his pack, letting it clatter to the floor. He gave them both a sly wink as he sat, his voice soft, commanding. "So what is it you wanted from me?"


style='font-family:Garamond;mso-bidi-font-family:Arial'> 


style='font-family:Garamond;mso-bidi-font-family:Arial'>Mithrell spoke for the two of them, Adamante's eyes locked upon the half-dragon, reading his motives, opening up his senses and his ability to discern lies... but he found none. He smiled and let himself relax slightly; listening and watching as he slowly ate the greens, to the scouts’ words. Mastoc was describing a plan of acquiring information on pirate raids, and Mithrell listened with rapt attention to his devious strategies, some of which she had used herself in her tracking.


style='font-family:Garamond;mso-bidi-font-family:Arial'> 


style='font-family:Garamond;mso-bidi-font-family:Arial'>As the day drew to a close, and the chill started to set in, Mithrell invited the half-dragon to stay the night. A devious glint in his eye lit as he bowed his gratitude, and Adamante could only shake his head... he knew exactly what Auurius was after. As Mithrell strode toward the bedchamber, the half-dragon snapped his fingers, and one of Mithrell's tame Drow Sentries suddenly sprang to life. Within moments, Mithrell found herself wrapped hand and foot in the tendril vines of the Sentry, and with another snap Adamante choked, finding himself in a similar predicament.


style='font-family:Garamond;mso-bidi-font-family:Arial'> 


style='font-family:Garamond;mso-bidi-font-family:Arial'>Auurius chuckled as he lifted a hand, the cabin's Unseen Servant lifting the heavy pack and bringing it to the half-dragon. As the pack settled to the floor, He bent and withdrew a wicked-looking blade, waving it back and forth as he looked at the two bound and helpless people. He smiled as he looked to Adamante, bowing slightly. "It's a good thing you know me, Addy, otherwise this would be quite a precarious predicament." He chuckled as he unfurled his pack, leaving it concealed from their eyes.


style='font-family:Garamond;mso-bidi-font-family:Arial'> 


style='font-family:Garamond;mso-bidi-font-family:Arial'>Adamante Necronis tried to watch Auurius form the corner of his eye. "When I told you I had a kender with me, you couldn't keep yourself form getting over here, and you and I both know it." Auurius laughed as his dagger flipped from hand to hand, the cold steel caressing both being's flesh.


style='font-family:Garamond;mso-bidi-font-family:Arial'> 


style='font-family:Garamond;mso-bidi-font-family:Arial'>Mithrell piped up, her voice merry and scolding at the same time. "Relax, Addy, he and I studied under Aragius when we learned how to track - we knew each other before then. So don't think for a moment that you had anything to do with this." She struggled slightly, laughing merrily as Auurius's dagger clicked, parting the seam of her trousers. One wrench of his powerful arms tore them asunder, then the half-dragon stood back to admire his handiwork.


style='font-family:Garamond;mso-bidi-font-family:Arial'> 


style='font-family:Garamond;mso-bidi-font-family:Arial'>"You know, I'm not sure who I like more... Addy and I shared quite a few rough-and-tumbles in our crèche’s, but then again I could never keep my eyes off you Mithrell... I might just decide to watch." He chuckled malevolently as he repeated the process on the Protector, tearing his silk combat robes form his body and leaving him completely nude. The half-dragon's eyes took him in, a malevolent chuckle escaping his lips. "Oh, come on, it's not THAT cold in here."


style='font-family:Garamond;mso-bidi-font-family:Arial'> 


style='font-family:Garamond;mso-bidi-font-family:Arial'>Adamante's growl was playful as he wriggled slightly. "As I recall, you weren't exactly a giant yourself... now either do something or let us down." He suddenly gasped as a flogger struck the backs of his thighs, the growl dropping a bit. "Do that again, and you will find out exactly what it means to be skinned alive."


style='font-family:Garamond;mso-bidi-font-family:Arial'> 


style='font-family:Garamond;mso-bidi-font-family:Arial'>Auurius laughed heartily as he picked up a short spear, flipping it over his wrists, around his neck, and brought the razor sharp blade up to slice Mithrell's bodice and blouse away, leaving her nude. He cast the spear aside, and her body shivered the half-dragon ran the falls of the leather flogger over her flesh, the gold dragon's eyes locked upon Adamante. "Oh, I think you'll be changing your tune when you see what I have in store." He suddenly brought the flogger back around and hit Adamante across the backs of the thighs again, making his body jerk against the restraint of the Drow Sentry. Mithrell’s eyes took in the reaction Adamante's body had to the stimulus of the flogger, a soft purr escaping her lips.


style='font-family:Garamond;mso-bidi-font-family:Arial'> 


style='font-family:Garamond;mso-bidi-font-family:Arial'>"You are most talented like that, Mastoc... “She chuckled, and then gasped as the flogger hit the lower curve of her backside, her thighs pressing together at the kiss of the leather. A soft moan escaped her, followed by another gasp and a whimper as her body disobeyed her resolve, and began to show the signs of her reaction. Her breath was a short heavy pant as the flogger kissed her flesh again, leaving faint red welts across the lightly tanned flesh.


style='font-family:Garamond;mso-bidi-font-family:Arial'> 


style='font-family:Garamond;mso-bidi-font-family:Arial'>Mastoc Auurius smiled as he watched the reactions, walking behind the bound and nude beings, taking in their squirming at the barest touch of what he could do. He smiled and struck them both again, then chittered a command. Immediately the vines holding Mithrell’s legs pulled apart, and the next strike of his flogger swept up between, the tendrils licking the cleft of her sex and making her gasp, a faint moan escaping her. He grinned and bent to his pack, withdrawing a length of rope and a small sphere of steel. His voice carried up to Mithrell's ears as he pressed the cold ball to the dripping lips of her sex, his growl making both their bodies quiver. "It's time, my Lady, you learned what I did..." his fingers insistently pushed the sphere inside her, and with swift motions of his hands took the trope and bound her waist, the trailing ends sweeping between her legs, holding the ball in place.


style='font-family:Garamond;mso-bidi-font-family:Arial'> 


style='font-family:Garamond;mso-bidi-font-family:Arial'>A minor incantation spilled form his lips, and suddenly the sphere began to quiver as if alive, making Mithrell writhe in the torment of the Vines. As both males watched, Mastoc busied himself with a fine piece of silken rope, binding Adamante's shaft and sac in an intricate web of green, cinching them tight and eliciting a similar reaction from the protector. He whispered another command, and the detoxified poison vines rose, pushing insistently to their backsides. The seeping lubricant coated the tendrils, and added a lewd squishing sound to the area. He watched the two writhe a moment longer, then yawned.


style='font-family:Garamond;mso-bidi-font-family:Arial'> 


style='font-family:Garamond;mso-bidi-font-family:Arial'>“Enjoy, my friends… it’s been a long night, and I need to get some rest. Ta-ta.” With that, he turned on the ball of his left foot, leaving them alone to their torment, their flesh beginning to sweat as they looked to one another… writhing, soft sounds escaping their throats at what was sure to be a long night.
