“Perfect,” he said in satisfied tones. He tipped her up to her feet and nodded with pleasure at what he saw. “Time to work, my sweet filly,” he said, landing a heavy slap on her rear. Sariah let out a whine of complaint, which turned to something more like a whinny as he swatted her again, moving her toward the cart.
Shocked to her very core, bound by leather strapping that denied her motion in almost every part of her body beside her hips and legs, and with a plug in her rear that caused the leather straps of the tail to brush against her sensitive inner thighs, Sariah was struck by Griffen’s creative prowess. His discipline was not limited to mere beatings, and he did not resort to verbal humiliation. Instead he bent her to his will in a way that transformed the very thing she was. Held firm by her bonds, she felt very much like the wild filly he declared her to be.
Sariah looked at Griffen with pleading eyes, shaking her head as he hitched her to the cart, using long straps of leather to attach it to the harness he had fashioned at her hips so that every step would take the cart with her.
Muffled begging was all she was capable of, but that did not stop her apologizing profusely against the thick leather, her words lost to the world.
“Easy,” Griffen said in soft tones. He lifted his hand and stroked her hair gently, soothing her. “When I give the command, you will walk on, take the cart to Rafe’s station and wait for him to load it. You will then make a circuit around the encampment. Do you understand?”
She shook her head, blinking as hot tears began to sting her eyes. This wasn’t a fair punishment. Yes, she had sought to relieve him of prized jewels, but surely being treated like a simple beast was too much punishment for that.
“Do not feel sorry for yourself, Sariah,” Griffen chided her. “I think you know what the punishment for theft is in most of the barbaric tribes. This will leave you entirely intact and have the added benefit of teaching you some humility. You are far too bold, pet.”
She looked at him with wide eyes. Yes, thieves lost hands, but that was a practice condemned by anyone with a heart. Rebelling against his alleged mercy, she shook herself thoroughly, making the cart roll back and forth behind her—and the tail wriggle inside her bottom too. Griffen did not intervene. He stood and watched as Sariah did her very best to free herself.
It was an effort for nothing. For all her struggles, none of the leather gave way. She let out a muffled grunt of exasperation and scowled at him with all her impotent fury.
“Finished, pet?”
He ran his fingers over her scalp, combing gently through her hair and down the back of her neck. In spite of her discomfort and embarrassment, his touch did soothe her.
“This will not be as bad as you might imagine if you simply submit to what is being asked of you,” he said. “Training is a simple matter of pressure and release. If you obey me, you will find release. If you do not, you will feel pressure.” He emphasized his point with a firm slap to her rear. She strained against the leather, pulling the cart forward a step, and earning immediate praise.
“Good girl,” he murmured, reaching out to take one last leather implement from Rafe’s waiting hands—a whip used for driving horses.
She flinched at the sight of it, leather corded to a fine point she knew would sting if it were to be lashed against her bare flesh.
“It doesn’t have to hurt,” Griffen murmured in her ear, stroking his fingers down the side of her neck, gentling her after her fright. She felt his soothing touch, his calming voice and found the tremors of anxiety beginning to abate. He was treating her much like he would treat an actual pony, with firmness but undeniable care. She found herself softening to his touch, her breath coming more easily as he smoothed his hand over her back and thence over her rear, patting her cheeks gently.
“Ready to work, pet?”
* * *
Sariah let out a little whimper and shook her head. Again her eyes begged him for lenience, however Griffen had no intention of letting the matter of her impudent attempt at theft slide. She had been on the verge of committing a high crime, and he doubted she regretted it yet.
This was undoubtedly not what his thieving little pet had foreseen as punishment, but Griffen took a great deal of pleasure in his pony, flicking the whip to move her on when she decided to balk. It was excellent training, and he had no doubt that she would remember the lesson long after the leathers were removed.
Griffen flicked the whip lightly against her left buttock. “Walk on, filly,” he ordered. “The men are waiting.”
She gave him a resentful look, which only made her look more beautiful as she did his bidding.
The work was not easy. The day was hot and there were many swords to deliver. Griffen insisted each one be delivered individually, and when they were waiting for the next to be sharpened, he drove her in figures of eight, taking control of each of her steps, their length, their speed. She resisted many times, and each time the lash met her ample bottom or her thigh, providing the necessary motivation for her to obey.
She blushed and hesitated many times, color flushing over her body from her breasts to her hips and even her thighs. Her embarrassment was but one part of the punishment. More than that he wanted to instill a sense of immediate obedience, a submission of belonging. She wanted to run away, but he would cure her of that. She would forget any desire to leave once she realized how richer and deeper life was under his lash.
She was beautiful, beads of sweat rolling down her midsection, over her bottom, and down her thighs. He had no doubt that she would be exhausted by the end of her task, but that would not harm her. Her immediate attempt to take advantage of her position as his pet, to steal his riches and make off with them, amused him more than it angered him. She was certainly politically minded, though she was but a simple shepherd girl. He had no doubt that there would be many more surprises from this one.
Noting that Sariah’s shoulders were beginning to droop, her eyes no longer burning with rebellious fire, he decided that she had endured enough and called a halt to her labors. She came to a stop beside him, her lower lip jutted out in a small pout. His pet did not like to be punished. Perhaps that would teach her to avoid deserving such, but somehow he doubted that.
While Sariah stood waiting to see what orders he had in mind for her next, Griffen unhitched the cart but left his pony in her leathers.
“Come here,” he beckoned.
She approached him with her head bowed, looking up at him under her lashes. Was that contrition he saw? No. Something else danced in her pupils, a resilient mischief that seemed immutable. She was coated in a sheen of sweat. The work had not been light and she was probably tired, but more than the scent of feminine sweat, he could smell her arousal. She loved the lash, this pet. The harder he pushed her, the more she responded. Her boldness and rebellion was nothing compared to her capacity for submission if it was skillfully commanded.
He slipped a leather leash around her neck and led her out of the camp, down toward the river that flowed richly through the verdant green landscape. With the gag still in place, she could not speak but he sensed some relief in her as they reached a place of more privacy.
Griffen shed his leggings and shirt and led her into the water, still bound. Sariah balked at going deeper than her knees, but he urged her forward. “I’ve got you,” he reassured her as they stood in waist-deep water, the river’s current carrying away much of the heat of the work.
Slowly and carefully, Griffen unbound Sariah from her leather harness and bridle. Each of the straps came away leaving lines of shining sweat where it had sat against her skin, leaving a heated pink remnant of the harness still glowing across her body.
“My poor little pet,” he murmured as he removed the second to last piece—the gag. The tail he left in her rear, leather straps flowing out into the water behind her in a way he found rather pretty.
With her powers of speech restored, Sariah said nothing, perhaps too stunned to speak,
perhaps too wise to immediately get herself into trouble by speaking out of turn. Whatever her reason for silence, Griffen pressed a kiss to her lips and began rinsing her body with handfuls of water, letting it run in little rivulets over the curves of her naked body. She still did not seem to be in any hurry to speak. What words could possibly capture her experience?
He bathed her tenderly, allowing her the silence, giving her time to understand what had passed between them. As it drew on, he began to become concerned.
“Sariah.” He smoothed her hair back from her face and looked down into her eyes. “Are you hurt?”
“Hurt? No.” She murmured the words, avoiding his gaze.
“Tell me your feelings,” he urged.
“What do my feelings matter to you?” The question was asked plainly, without bitterness. She seemed surprised by the notion that he would care at all for her emotional state. That was the trouble with a pet like Sariah. She needed firm handling interspersed with gentle care, but she tended to forget the firmness during gentle times, and the gentleness when he was firm.
“They matter,” Griffen assured her. “I intended to humble you. I did not intend to break your spirit.”
Sariah’s eyes met his, gleaming with that unfathomable sentiment again.
“What is it, pet?”
“You are an outrageous barbarian,” she said, her voice high with repressed outrage. “To treat me like an animal, a beast of burden, and then to ask after my feelings…”
“You can admit you enjoyed it,” Griffen interjected.
Sariah’s mouth fell open. “Enjoyed it? Enjoyed it!? How could you think I enjoyed that… humiliation!”
“I think that because your nipples are hard as pebbles and you’re wetter than this river,” Griffen said, pressing his hand between her thighs, where a warm slickness was still evident in spite of the rushing of the water. “I can tell because although your bottom is still filled with that plug, you have not asked me to remove it, nor have you attempted to do so yourself.”
“I did not enjoy it,” Sariah denied in a low, gasping moan.
“Not the punishment, perhaps,” Griffen conceded. “That would defeat the purpose of punishing you. But being mine, being bound, being used as I see fit—that you love.”
Her eyes flashed outrage, but her denial lacked a certain confidence as his fingers slipped inside her pussy, spreading her around the length of his digits.
* * *
Sariah wished she could resist Griffen, but she could not deny the heat that suffused her body. Each and every moment she’d spent in his leathers, harnessed to his cart, working under his lash had been an exquisite torture of her senses, her clit pulsing with every step, excitement rushing through her every time she saw the eyes of Griffen’s men falling upon her.
She had been his possession, his pet, every step had been taken according to his will and as much as her fierce pride burned against it, her body had reacted quite differently. Now, with his fingers thrusting inside her tight channel, she found it impossible to keep up the pretense.
Her head fell back, supported by the brawny arm wrapped around her shoulders as Griffen plundered her first with his fingers, then with the hard thrust of his cock. He pushed his thick rod inside her without so much as a word of warning. Why should he? She was his pet, his slave to fuck with a tail still stretching her bottom, the hardness of the plug feeling larger with his cock pressing deep into her tight cunt.
Held in the rushing waters and fucked by a man who was king in more than name or title, Sariah surrendered to forces beyond her control. Every part of nature seemed to be combining to take what she thought she knew about herself and show her another side of it. She could not deny the pleasure she felt. She could not deny that the heat of embarrassment had turned to a flame of desire. She could not pretend that her cunt wasn’t soaking with need for him, or that her bottom wasn’t clenching at the plug because clenching made everything feel full and tight and used.
Sariah’s legs wrapped around his waist as Griffen lifted her up and down along the length of his cock, his strength keeping her afloat on waves of pleasure. The cool water rippled against her clit, soothed the little hot spots where his whip had kissed her skin. The deep thrusting of his hardness filled her in a way that satisfied her very soul, her inner walls clasping at him, eager for more.
He slowed the strokes, making each and every thrust take what seemed to be an eternity, a rising surge that made the tense parts of her relax and the needful parts of her cry out with relief. Griffen kissed her all over, his lips and tongue paying ardent homage to the hard nubs of her nipples as she writhed on his cock, her ample hips grinding against him with an eagerness that telegraphed her imminent orgasm.
He pulled out of her before either could come and held her in his arms as he waded out of the water, ignoring her whimpers of desire.
“Patience, pet,” he counseled as he lay down on his back, settling her to straddle him. Her nether lips once more came into contact with his cock, but instead of having it inside her, she could only grind against the hard ridge. The strands of her tail flared out into the grass between his thighs, her bottom clenching in the new position.
Griffen’s hands clamped her hips and began to slowly urge her back and forth, compelling her to rub her pussy over the length of his cock. To Sariah’s surprise, the motion felt incredible. Her seeping juices of need and the heat from Griffen’s cock made her cunt quiver with excitement, her inner walls clenching in anticipation of being filled again. With each stroke, the head of his cock brushed the underside of her clit, teasing her eager pussy, but ultimately denying her what she truly wanted.
“No longer a virgin, you are showing your true nature, pet. A passionate woman who yearns to be touched.”
Sariah blushed. Griffen seemed to know her heart better than she did at times. He knew precisely what exquisite torture it was to feel his cock between her eager pussy lips, but not have it inside her, stretching the wet, willing walls that had learned to accommodate him.
She was the sheath to his sword, the vessel of his lust. When he filled her, she felt instinctively as though she became something more—and he too seemed to take on new dimensions. He was not just the king who had claimed her; he was her lover, the man who became part of her.
A great many such poetic thoughts played through Sariah’s mind, but there was little in the way of poetry taking place between her thighs. Griffen’s cock gleamed with ever more juices as her cunt lubricated them both eagerly.
His hands went to her thighs, and for a brief moment she thought she would receive the penetration she so desired. Instead, Griffen pulled her forward off his cock entirely. She let out a little mewl of complaint as he drew her up his body, not stopping until she found herself astride his face.
“What… ohhhh!”
The question died on her lips as Griffen’s tongue gently lapped at her outer lips, just the tip playing with her pussy.
“You are delicious, intoxicating,” he purred against her cunt.
Sariah let out a squeal of pleasure as his tongue slid inside her, the muscular length stimulating her in a way she had not known was possible. While his tongue pleasured her chalice, his fingers went back to play with the plug in her rear, twisting it slowly, corkscrewing gently and awakening her to greater ardor.
Every bit the willing pony, she rode the king’s face, her hands cupping her breasts, her hips rising and falling as she let out cry after cry of wanton pleasure, knowing she could be heard for miles around but finding herself unable to care. Nothing mattered but the tongue buried deep in the folds of her pussy, as Griffen used his mouth to drive her to greater erotic heights.
She was going to come, there on the plains, her body bared to the sun and the wind, her cunt lashed by the king’s tongue. Sariah reached down, grabbing a handful of his hair, their eyes meeting as the pet demanded more from her master than before.
Griffen’s tongue thru
st up inside her, twisting and darting against her wet clenching walls. Sariah let out a cry of pure pleasure as orgasm began to rack her form, tightening every muscle low in her body. Griffen licked her through it, his lips and tongue lashing and teasing, grazing her clit lightly to make her hips jolt with excitement.
She was not finished coming when Griffen tipped her over onto her back and thrust inside her quivering cunt with one hard thrust, his face showing the strain of climax as his hardness found her inner depths, plundering her cunt all the way to the neck of her womb.
Fucked through her orgasm, Sariah felt his welling inside her, his cock swelling as he began to shoot thick hot cum deep inside her, bathing her with his seed. She felt it filling her and then trickling out with his cock as he slid from her lips, a hot little trail of his seed coating her lower lips and the base of her tail too, white juices mixing with dark leather.
“Perfect,” Griffen murmured, kissing her. “Have you learned your lesson, my pet?”
Sariah looked into his eyes. Perhaps she should have been thoroughly chastised, but the climax had left her ecstatic and bold. “There was a lesson?”
His lips spread in a handsome smile. “Have I ravaged your tender little cunt so hard you no longer remember what started this?”
“Yes,” Sariah said teasingly. “You’ll have to do it all again.”
Griffen chuckled and kissed her thoroughly, his hand sliding between her thighs to lightly tap her well fucked lips. “Be careful what you wish for, my pet,” he warned her. “There is such a thing as being taken until you are too sore to walk.”
“You wouldn’t do that to me,” she murmured against his lips. “Who would pull your cart then?”
“Who indeed, minx,” Griffen rumbled, wrapping his arms around her and pulling her close. Together they laid under the sun, each forgetting their cares as they simply let the world turn.
