At first Phil thought it was a nightmare. Then he hoped it was a nightmare.
Nÿte stood at the foot of his bed with a whip in her hands.
That was an image you hoped was nightmare and not reality.
Phil was feeling a little divorced from reality at the moment, especially after his visit to Cέrμləa. He didn't have much to anchor himself to anyway. Phil was currently imprisoned in Hell. Reality couldn't exactly be regarded as a concrete foundation out here.
Nÿte was a succubus and a fearsome one at that. Out of the succubi Phil had encountered in the castle, Nÿte was both the most beautiful and also the most terrifying. There was no mistaking her for anything other than a demon. Her eyes were jet-black pools. Black horns protruded from her temples. A pair of black bat wings was partially extended behind her. A second pair of miniature bat wings stuck out from behind her ears. She was wearing a tight black PVC teddy with a deep V around the neck that showed off the lush curves of her cleavage.
This wasn't a dream, Phil realised with resignation.
Nÿte smiled coquettishly and offered Phil the handle of the whip.
"Hurt me," Nÿte said. "Whip me. Turn my creamy white flesh purple with bruises. Flay the skin from my soft, vulnerable body."
Phil was confused. The last time he'd encountered Nÿte she'd taken great pleasure in torturing and nearly killing him.
He took the handle of the whip before he realised what he was doing. Nÿte offered and he took it automatically.
She hopped up on the bed next to Phil.
"Beat me, fledgling," she murmured huskily. "Thrash me and I'll reward you."
Her hot tongue ran up the side of Phil's cheek.
Phil got up off the bed and Nÿte turned to present her ass cheeks to him. They were creamy white and totally exposed. The rest of her legs were covered in black fishnet stockings. A zip covered her crotch. It was partially open and moisture was dribbling out of the opening. The air was thick with the heady aroma of Nÿte's arousal.
Phil felt the weight of the whip in his hand. It was long and unwieldy. He stared again at the perfect white globes of Nÿte's ass. She looked back at him and wiggled them invitingly.
Phil wondered what he should do here. He didn't really relish the idea of lashing Nÿte's perfect white skin. What if he inadvertently hurt her and made her mad. That prospect terrified him. He didn't really like the idea of refusing her either. At the moment he had the whip and that was infinitely preferable to Nÿte having the whip.
"What are you waiting for?" Nÿte said. "Hurt me!"
Phil was galvanised into action. He swung the whip, but he hadn't done this before and wasn't used to how long the whip was. He got it all wrong and the tip slithered down Nÿte's cheek with scarcely more force than a wriggling worm.
Nÿte shook her head.
He missed with the second stroke, but the third connected with a loud slap and left a red mark on Nÿte's ass. Phil swung again, but not quite as hard this time. He was embarrassed about the mark he'd already left on her pristine skin.
"No no no!" Nÿte cried.
She turned, grabbed the whip and yanked it so hard out of Phil's hands he toppled forwards onto the bed.
"That's not how you do it at all," Nÿte said.
Phil realised he was now crouched on the bed on all fours and Nÿte was holding the whip.
Not good.
"You do it like this."
Not good at all.
The whip struck with a bone-jarring thud and smashed Phil right off the bed and up against the wall.
Ow.
"And this..."
Ow.
"And this..."
Ow. Ow. Ow.
"Ahem."
Verdé appeared in the doorway. Phil was profoundly grateful for the interruption. Nÿte's fangs were bared in manic glee and she didn't show any signs of wanting to stop anytime soon.
"If you've quite finished beating our little fledgling to a pulp, Rosa would like to see him in her chambers," Verdé said.
"Oh Verdé," Nÿte said. "Lovely lovely Verdé. Are you in the mood for a little bit of fun?"
"Mmm, always," Verdé purred. She slipped seductively out of her gossamer green robes.
"Little fledgling hasn't got the technique right yet and I'm really in the mood for a jolly good thrashing," Nÿte said.
"Would you like me to use the special whip?" Verdé asked.
"Yes please," Nÿte purred.
Verdé touched the wooden door with her index finger and there was a short flash of green light. She drew her finger away from the door and a long green tendril followed it. It was as if new growth was sprouting out of the old wood at Verdé's request.
"Don't forget the thorns," Nÿte whispered.
The green vine multiplied into seven or eight different strands. Those strands grew more and more twisted and tangled. Wickedly sharp thorns sprang up along their lengths.
"A dash of poison?" Verdé asked.
"Mmm yes," Nÿte replied. "Something that will give it a real sting."
Crazy, Phil thought. Absolutely crazy.
His eyes widened as bubbles of liquid welled up from the thorns. A droplet hit the floor and sent up little puffs of white smoke. Verdé pulled the new plant growth from the door and gave the vines a few experimental swings.
Aches or no aches, Phil decided it was time to get up and get out of here before Verdé and Nÿte decided it might be fun to use that whip on him.
Verdé and Nÿte approached each other, their eyes gleaming with lust. The two succubi embraced and their lips met in a sloppy, passionate kiss.
Phil stopped and stared. He didn't really have a choice in the matter.
Verdé and Nÿte broke off their kiss and looked at him. Their arms and wings were still around each other.
"Shoo fledgling," Verdé said.
