Alice had always had a very vivid imagination. As a girl, she would dream up whole worlds to escape into for hours, whether awake or asleep. She had never actually had what she'd call a "weird dream", despite all the abnormal things she'd encounter in her dreams. She would always enjoy spending hours with her mystical, magical friends from beyond the looking glass, no matter how old she got, but one day in her late teens she happened upon a very tantalizing piece of literature in some old possessions of her late mothers which changed her relationship with her phantasmal friends drastically.
In this particular piece of literature, she learned of some very demoralizing acts people would commit to one another. They would degrade and assault one another in the most unusual of ways, sometimes even tying up one another with cord and rope to commit these acts. Never having encountered anything like this before, reading it made Alice's body burn up in a fever, and gave her urges she couldn't quite understand, so she cast it away.
Sometime after reading the book her dream-world friends began tapering off and leaving her, one by one over time, except the one she'd never truly recognized. He was a tall, slender man with very pale skin. His eyes were dark, and gave you the safest feeling in the world, but it also gave you a sense of prey; like a hunted animal. His clothes were of the Victorian era, and his skin seemed cool to the touch. It was on the fifth night after reading the book when he first spoke to her.
"Wh-who are you?" Alice finally asked in the most timid of tones. He showed interest in her new-found curiosity, and wasted no time with his reply, "Why I am that which you seek. The gratification above all others, your heart's deepest desires." he ended that sentence with a cold finger on her chest. His skin was icy cold, but below she could feel a warm pulse. His voice was rough and melodic, like the serpent's that convinced Eve to eat the forbidden fruit.
"My heart doesn't desire anything." she said in a weak, unconvincing voice. "And what makes you so sure about that?" his voice was hypnotizing, making her feel so safe it was easy for her to ignore every warning sign. "What you desire most is experience. Experience that can only be gleaned from those in 'that book'." His voice was so smoothe. Every word seemed to lull her deeper and deeper into a trance. "Th-the book?" she tilted her head as if confused, her eyes dim and distant. "What book?" "What book indehe?" he mused in an almost mocking tone. "The book?" she asked again, seeming a bit less confused, but still enthralled. "Yes, yes my dear, 'that book'."
She seemed to come out of her daze all at once. "No! I could never engage in such debaucherous activities." He smiled a bit at this burst of personality. Her old proud and lady-like personality was starting to shine through, and he enjoyed the thought of thoroughly breaking her. She picked up on his lecherous gaze, and took on a defensive stance, her face bright with embarrassment. Still, this was the first time someone ever looked at her with such passion and desire, and it made her body feel hot. "You never answered me. Who are you?" she shifted from foot to foot uneasily, fighting every impure thought she had thanks to that accursed book. He gave a sly smirk as he watched her with her little anxious dance. "Why my dear, you may soon come to know me as Lust. Your lust to be exact."
His gaze was so deep and hypnotic. Like a dark whirlpool, that would pull her in showing her everything she didn't want to see. No, everything she did want to see. Images of her bound and bare, images of her being dragged around on her hands and knees in a Cheshire Cat costume, images of her taking his long rod deep inside.
She snapped out of it to the cold touch of Lust holding her chin with his thumb and index finger. "I can see what you want, my dear. My eyes can see into the very depths of your soul, dear Alice, do you really expect to resist me forever?" his voice made her heart tremble. These thoughts were so impure, but for once that didn't matter to her. For once she accepted that this was just a dream, and that she didn't have to wear her royal facade. She could relinquish control and let herself live life like she always did in her wonderland. "F-fine." she finally caved to her desires. Lust smiles.
Lust made her whole body tingle with just one hand as he slid the left shoulder strap of her dress over her shoulder, and down to her elbow. She felt as if her whole body were made of glass, and just one touch of his icy hand would shatter her very existence. Lust leaned down and placed one slow, icy kiss on her neck. When he lifted his head, the skin beneath was a darker shade, almost blue. Alice trembled beneath his touch, as he slowly undressed her and placed small, icy hickeys along her collar bone.
