I pretended to be tired, but my lungs were no longer on fire and the muscles in my legs did not feel like I was going to drop at any second. My mind was alive and I saw my purpose like a light from a lighthouse leading travelers in from the water.
I could see that Braden was getting to the end of his rope. I was keeping up with him and I could see his suspicion, as he looked back and saw me. I pretended to be winded, but I don’t think he was buying it. I know I wouldn’t, but I was pretty good at masking who I really was. I’d always thought that I would make a good actress. In high school, I performed in Westside story. Critics said that the best thing about the whole play was my portrayal. It made me feel good and I even contemplated taking it to the next level.
“I don’t know how you do it, Shana. You looked like you were going to collapse, but somehow you continued to push forward. I admire your tenacity, Shana, but I think that you might not be telling me something.” I shrugged my shoulders, but he was leering at me with that look that made me feel like I was being exposed for the fraud that I was.
“I’m just trying to follow your lead.” I watched him and I knew that eventually I was going to have to show him all of my cards. “I just think that we should fight and claw every step of the way. We can’t allow them to hold us down. We have to show them that we can go further than anybody else.” This was the kind of pep talk that I was giving him in hopes that it would boost his energy level.
“You speak a good game, but let’s see if you can back it up.” We moved in unison and the town from the Black castle was getting closer. We still had to go by the Red castle and it was adorned with red brick instead of white brick. Lord Russum had long flaming red hair and a red beard that made him look like a sorcerer from Harry potter. He was wearing a red cloak and he was watching us with intent, as we came closer and closer to his door.
“I don’t like this and I just heard from Lord Wallace. I’m not going to keep you, but I’ve sent my own scout out to make sure that your claims are true.” He wanted us to be the victor and there was no doubt in my mind that he wanted to supersede Lord Vadam. Even though Lord Vadam had him by the balls, didn’t mean that he couldn’t become the power. If one of his competitors were to come in first place, then his rule would be all that mattered. “I hope you know that I didn’t pick Shana. You did that without my blessing or going through proper channels, Braden. We only gave you that flicker of leadership, because we saw something in you and in this young lady that made us give you our support.” The only thing that he was concerned with was power and how fast he could bring it to bear on his enemies.
I could tell that he was tired of Lord Vadam’s rule and he was trying to stack the deck to make sure that he and the Red castle would be the one to rule.
Chapter three
It was a short talk with Lord Russum. Unlike Lord Wallace, he had a vested interest in getting us back on the road, as soon as possible. He didn’t want anybody to take the place of us, as one of the top six. He wanted his best to be front and center for the final three legs of this competition. The tournament was in full swing and you could tell that everybody was having the time of their life or so they wanted Lord Vadam to think. Even the competitors were getting into it and I could tell from the look on Nicholas’s face that he had seen what I had done with Braden with my mouth.
I could see that he was interested in finding out more, but he wasn’t sure how to voice his curiosity. It might be a good idea to sit down with him and go over the finer points of oral sex. He would have a lot of questions and I’m sure that I could answer just about every one of them in some regard.
“If Lord Vadam doesn’t know about what happened by now, then he’s definitely in for a rude awakening. I hope that he doesn’t know, because I want to see the look on his face when he realizes that this happened underneath his watch.” I was thinking the same thing, but I didn’t want to be disrespectful to the leaders of his world. Apparently, he had no love lost for Lord Vadam and not many people really respected the fact that he was in charge.
“Braden, I’m a bit surprised that they don’t have a time limit on how long you can be in power. In my world, the president of the United States has only two terms of four years apiece and then he has to vacate the position. There are those that believe that that rule should be changed, but for the most part it hasn’t been since the signing of the constitution. I told him of the way that my government worked and he was shaking his head in disbelief that there were so many loopholes that people could get away with murder under the right circumstances.
“No wonder your world is tearing itself apart one piece at a time, Shana. The United States seems to be a little lax in legal proceedings.” I told him of how other countries dealt with certain crime and he smiled knowingly. “I can see how China could become the next power in your world. They’re already taking over slowly with technology and weapons of mass destruction. You probably don’t even know half of what they hold in their arsenal. I’m afraid for your world and it’s just a matter of time before something happens that makes somebody act without thinking.”
“I know that my world is a tinderbox and it’s just going to take the right person to like the match to make it all burn down to the ground. I think for the most part we have been doing our very best to make things. as comfortable as possible. I know that you probably don’t think so, but there are those that believe that our rules are too strict.” He laughed at that comment.
“Too strict. They should come here and see what happens when they commit those kinds of crimes. It is not tolerated and action is followed by punishment in the worst degree possible. I would never presume to tell anybody what to do, but your world is vastly lacking. I would be afraid to live in your world. People take too much for granted, when they should be just happy and grateful for what they have.” The Black castle was looming ahead and I could tell from the moment that we entered onto the premises that Lord Vadam was very much aware of what had transpired.
He was pacing back and forth, but it was what I noticed that made me breathe a little easier. Four others, including Nicholas and Gemini had made it back, as the final six. There were two others, one in white armor and the other one in black. We were the final two. We had made it back in time to take those final two spots for ourselves.
“You can put your bounty over there where it belongs. He motioned to a spit in a huge hole in the earth that spewed fire from below. He was obviously going to cook the Offus up and have them for many meals to come “I don’t like what I heard and correct me if I’m wrong. Those that were there, including guardsmen and people alike were burned beyond recognition. Nicholas has told me all about it and we have even had confirmation from the other two castles. I don’t normally take the word of Lord Wallace, but Lord Russum is another matter altogether.” The next part of the tournament will not begin for another two days. I am asking for the services of all those that would want to hunt down every Dragos.” This was a knee jerk reaction, but not something that was unexpected.
Nobody was stepping forward, until Gemini herself gave in to her desire to please Lord Vadam. “I will be your eyes and your ears. I request that Shana and Braden accompany me.” This was very unusual and I’ve heard from Braden himself that the castles do not interact in any way. For them to team up with the Black castle would mean that there was something serious going on here. “I think that that they have a unique outlook. I could use more than one set of eyes. If you’re worried that I have feelings for Braden, then you needn’t be. I’ve never hated a man more in my life. His new lady love Shana is not exactly somebody that is going to find themselves in my good graces.”
“I believe that you will only need Shana. In a concentrated effort from all castles, I am going to a sign Landon from the White castle to be a part of this three prong attack. You are all to report to me and nobody else. It doesn’t matter what castle you come from. This is a matter of great urgency and I will not tolerate having others tell
ing me what to do. I will inform the Lord’s of this Decree and they will either get on board or find themselves sitting in the cold.” There was no reason for him to show his power, but he wanted to, just so that he could puff out his chest for everybody else to see. It was the same way with my world. Those that were in dictatorship would rule with an iron fist, coming down on their lowly subjects and making them do their bidding.
“I still think that I should go along. I don’t trust that Shana is safe with Gemini. You and I both know that she can’t be trusted. Perhaps this is your master plan to get rid of Shana once and for all.”
“I am disappointed that Gemini didn’t fulfill her duties. She has been punished for her betrayal and the mark that I put on her is a reminder that nobody is allowed to say no to me. As for your request, it is denied. Tomorrow, all three will begin at the source.” Both Landon and Gemini were nodding their head knowingly, but I was just doing it to play along. I had no idea what this source was, but I had a feeling that I was going to find out one way or the other.
Chapter four
“Shana, the source is a cleric. It is said that he sees things that others don’t. He guides all the castles, but he will only give an audience once a year. It’s the reason why each Lord doesn’t want to use him, unless absolutely necessary. His visions are very taxing on the cleric and he needs several weeks to recuperate after such an ordeal.” He was helping me off with my clothes and we had tonight to enjoy each other’s company, before I had to embark on a New Mission. I had no interest in helping Lord Vadam, but I was curious enough that I was willing to at least work with the devil to find out what was going on.
“In a world that really doesn’t believe in magic, you take a lot of stock in a man that claims to have visions.” I was helping him with his armor and I found that touching him was releasing him from the bond. It took several touches on my armor to make it release its hold. When it finally did, I noticed three spots where there seemed to be puncture marks in my skin. Thankfully, they were in very discreet spots. Two were on the inside of each of my thighs, one was on my left shoulder and the other one was on the baby toe of the right leg. I could feel them, but they were more numbing than anything else.
We were naked and standing in front of each other and I still couldn’t believe that I was here with him. “Shana, every time that we are together, I find another thing about you that I enjoy more than I can say. You’re already shown me what you can do with your fingers, your mouth and that body of yours. You’ve also introduced me into what you call bondage and a blindfold. I just don’t know what else you could possibly have up your sleeve.” He was about to find out.
I took a section of rope and I began to twist and turn it around my own hands, while he was watching intently and wondering what the hell I was up to. At one point, I was using my mouth to tighten it and then I was literally at his mercy. He smiled, but there was no way that he could understand the true implications of what I was doing.
“Braden, I introduced you to bondage, but only on one side. I think that you’ll find that having me in the same position you were in will be something that you’ll greatly desire from this moment on.” He pushed me back onto the mat on the floor and I went flying down onto the softness, before finding him attacking me. I felt his hands manhandling along the side of my body, igniting goose bumps that were running up and down my arms and legs.
“I need you tonight and I’m not going to be sleeping. There’s something about you, girl that makes me sweat. I’ve been lonely all of my life, but you changed all that for me. I hope that is something that you can live with. Your moves are so raw and I’ve got to let you know that you have definitely made me see things from a different perspective. I still can’t get over what you can do with your mouth. I know what I can do, so I’m going to show you that and there’s nothing that you can do about it.” He took it to the extreme, winding that fabric that I had used on him around the ropes that were around my wrist, until he was pulling them taut behind me and stretching me like I had never been stretched before.
“I’m yours, Braden and whatever you decide to do is entirely up to you. One thing I ask is that you don’t leave any permanent marks.” He slapped my tips and the stinging sensation made me gasp out loud. I looked at him with surprise and shock on my face. “Damn, I didn’t think you had in you.” It wasn’t like I was all that experienced in this form of sex, but I was willing to impart whenever I knew on a novice.
“I don’t know even why I did that, but it seemed like the right thing to do under the circumstances. I’m not sure what I’m supposed to do next, but I think that I’ll figure it out.” I had him looking at me. He was slowly moving down, while I was squirming in place and wondering where his tongue was going to land next. I didn’t have to wait very long, before he was spreading my legs and moving my knees to the side, so that he could see that bright pink interior.
“I know that you’ll figure it out, because I’ve been a good teacher.” His tongue touched me for a moment and then he backed away to let me know that he was setting the pace. “Jesus, I think I might have created a monster of some sort.” If I did, I was happy to do so, because this guy was now doing things that he probably never even thought of in his life.
“I just want to take it all in, Shana. You’re nothing like Gemini. I don’t mean to bring her name up in conversation, but it’s kind of hard not to make comparisons.” He moved his tongue around my clit and once again he stopped cold and waited for me to look at him with my eyes begging him to continue. “This is so much fun and I do believe that I will want to do this again. I just don’t think that it’s necessary to do it all the time and we need to leave some mystery.” I couldn’t have agreed more.
“Braden, you are getting the hang of… thisssssss” He was giving me feather light touches along the inside of my thighs, touching on the sensitive part of those puncture wounds. He didn’t even notice. It was a good thing that it was dark, or he would have had some interesting questions and I’m not sure that I could answer them. “That is absolutely amazing. You bring me to the brink and then you shut it down before I can find my release. My pussy is begging you. You can tell that it wants more than just your tongue.” He fucked me with his fingers, stirring up my libido and making it, so that I wasn’t even able to stay still.
“I’m not going to allow you to cum, Shana. I will decide when you are allowed to or not. I might even just leave you like this and walk away and come back several hours later” I had to admit that he was starting to understand the little nuances of this type of lifestyle. It was never one for me, but I could certainly see how others could find it addictive. That feeling of wanting and not able to reach the apex of your pleasure was something that would make a lot of people go crazy with desire.
“I told you, I’m yours, Braden. Just remember, the best revenge is the one that is best served cold. I will want to get back at you for this or maybe I will reward you. I haven’t decided yet.” He left me with my legs spread and then he crawled up my body with his cock now leading the way. He pushed it between my breasts and then he used his hands to fold it around him. He was using the spit from his own mouth to make it slippery. Every time that he came out from between my tits, I would whitewash his knob with my tongue.
Each time that he did that, he would go in just a little bit deeper, making me wonder when he was going to use his hips in the right way. It came in the form of him holding onto the pad underneath us. He was on his knees and his cock was now pushing into my mouth and back out again. I wanted him to cum and I was doing everything I could to try to seduce the cream from his body. That sticky stuff was drooling something fierce and I was right there to capture every little bit of it. He purposely pulled free and moved across my lips, keeping it a hair’s breath from being taken into my mouth all over again.
I had a feeling like he was trying to make this the best that it could possibly be and also the most frustrating thing that I had ever gone th
rough. That orgasm that he was stirring to a surface was waiting, but I don’t think that it was patient by any means. I needed that extra touch and the feel of his spongy tip scraping across the top of my palate, as he was making his way into my throat was not making that necessary connection.
“I just love looking down at your face and seeing your mouth at work. I don’t think that I will ever get used to that. I don’t want to, because once I do, then I won’t want it as much. I don’t see that happening anytime soon or ever for that matter.” He was having a lot of fun and I could see in his eyes that he had no interest in stopping this any time soon. “I just can’t stop looking at you and wondering when all of this is going to come to an end. I know that neither one of us wants it to, but I also know that you have this desire to go home.” We hadn’t talked about it in some time, but in the back my mind, I was always wondering when I was going to find another piece of the puzzle. According to him, the looking glass was a myth, but I had this funny feeling that the one person that could tell me was crazy and had no semblance of what he was saying from one moment to the next. I wanted to meet him, but I still had to deal with this Dragos festival. Not only that, but I was gonna have to deal with the possibility that they were responsible for the heinous act of murder in the first degree.
That was something that was premeditated. I could only hope that someone was pulling their strings. If it was the Dragos, then they had to know that a reaction was in order. They had to know that they were going to become hunted all over again. Why would they put themselves through that?” He slapped me across the face with his cock and it got my attention. He left behind a streak of his juices across my cheek, before putting it to my lips and making me suck it all over again.
He wasn’t making me suck anything and I knew that if I wanted to get out of this, I could do it at any time. He might have thought that these knots were impenetrable, but I had an easy way to loosen them. It was my way of keeping a bit of the power, without him knowing about it.
