Chapter Nineteen: The Forbidden Staircase
The drips led up through an unusual-looking gate. With determination, Mary read the sign, which said, "VETITI HOROLOGIO AHAZ" which she translated as "The Forbidden Staircase." It looked like the water was already running here. She surmised that Xenia had turned it on at the top of the stairs to slow them down or stop them from chasing her.
There was a plaque next to the staircase that described it. The staircase had originally been a separate entryway to the Sistine Chapel. Michelangelo built it for the express use of nuns, who were not allowed to enter the Sistine Chapel to examine the murals under normal circumstances. The murals contained depictions of naked men, a form that nuns were not allowed to look upon. However, if a nun could prove her chastity by traversing the torments of the staircase, she was allowed to look at the murals.
Mary left the UV lamp at the bottom. She was concerned the delicate instrument might be damaged by the various torments they would face if she tried to carry it up the stairs. "Look, there are four places where two footprints are carved into the stone. I think the four of us need to stand in those four spots. The first step is entitled 'Peeling the Grape,' whatever that means."
The four of them, Mary, Imogene, Katz, and Selene stepped up onto the first step and put their feet on the indicated spots. Immediately, rods with sticky balls on the end of them rushed out and started patting the four compatriots. The sticky rods would pull their clothes or hair out from their bodies, then a sharp blade would sweep across, cutting off the hair or clothing. After a few minutes of fear and trying not to move, the four stood completely naked with hair cut very short and covered in sticky goo. The sticky balls and cutters retreated and the gate leading to the second step opened. "Terrifying!" commented Katz.
The second step was called "Sanctification." Once they closed the gate and stood where indicated, warm jets of water shot out to scour the sticky goo not unpleasantly from their bodies. "That was not bad at all!" enthused Katz. The gate unlocked and they proceeded to the third step.
The third step was called "No Man May Enter." They closed the gate after them and stood at their indicated positions. Once they were all in position, slick leather dildos shot out and mercilessly poked their four behinds until they found purchase and thrust in. The three women shrieked, and Katz said, "OOCH! That's an out hole!"
Shortly after that, Imogene and Selene, who were very sensitive back there, climaxed with long tortured groans. Selene peed all over Katz's shoes with great embarrassment. "Keep your positions!" Mary warned them. "Whatever you do, don't step off the foot pads!" After a period of ass fucking, another slick dildo appeared below each of them positioned relative to the first. For the three women, this dildo thrust very pleasurably into their vaginas.
Katz was not so lucky. "OOF!" he cried as the mechanism rammed him in the balls repeatedly at high speed. He clasped his smarting balls and fell over from the pain. A sluice opened up, and he disappeared into it. A minute later, as the women were still trying to keep their balance amid the overwhelming stimulation, Katz shouted up to them, "I'm back down here at the foot of the stairs. You girls have fun! You know what, I think I'm going to go back and visit that witch thing!"
"There's nothing for it," grunted Mary, grimacing to maintain control despite the high speed double penetration of the dildos, "We need to continue without Thomas." After several long minutes of ecstasy where they struggled to keep their balance, the dildos retreated and the gate to the fourth step opened.
"Oh-oh," said Mary, "It says 'Torment of a Thousand Tongues'." Then the three women shrieked as vertical rotors filled with slick tongues made of leather came up between their legs. It was a tongue lashing they'd never dreamed of, and all three gritted their teeth and struggled to stay standing as they orgasmed repeatedly. After several long minutes of shaking tortuous crises for them all, the rotors receded and the gate to the fifth step opened.
The fifth step was called "The Fountains of Torment." Warm jets of water teased throughout the struggling women's nether bits as they gritted their teeth, climaxed, and tried to maintain their balance. Selene shrieked and fell over. A sluice carried her away immediately. After the requisite time, which seemed to be the same for every step, the gate opened leading to the sixth step. "I'm sorry, Mary, I couldn't stand it any more!" called Selene from the bottom of the staircase.
The sixth step was called "The Bees of Torment." "Now it's just the two of us, Immy! Hold on!" encouraged Mary. The two teen girls suddenly found themselves immersed in a sea of flexible rods with little buzzing doohickeys on their ends right at crotch level. Imogene squealed almost immediately, fell over, and was carried away. "This is exactly why I didn't lend you my massager, Immy!" Mary called after her. "You're just not ready for this much stimulation!" The gate opened leading to the seventh step.
Now it was just Mary, facing the final step. The seventh step was labeled "The Pillars of Torment." A slippery leather dildo thrust upwards, hunted around as it had on the third step, and found her anus, and started thrusting deep into her rectum. She chuckled and cried out, "You're out of ideas, Michelangelo! I have you beat!" As before, another slick dildo thrust upwards, registered to the first, and roughly pumped into and opened her vagina. She smirked. She knew she could go the distance. Then the two dildos, along with their mad thrusting, started buzzing like two crazy massagers. "EEEAHH!" she cried out instantly in orgasm, and her knees buckled a little.
A sinking feeling overtook Mary at this dastardly development. "EEEURGH!" she screamed out another rough crisis, but her knees held, and she smiled. Then the dildo in her ass disappeared, to be replaced by a new, more urgently buzzing, and slightly larger dildo. "MMMNNNN!" she crowed in an agony of ecstasy. If Selene or Imogene had made it this far, they wouldn't have made it past here anyway.
"I won't give in, Michelangelo!" Mary anguished, her knees shaking more and more as her eyes clouded over and she began feeling light-headed and dizzy even though she was still climaxing constantly. She slapped herself across the face hard, back and forth, with both hands. The pain only made the dildos' buzzing and thrusting ten times more exciting. A larger and more intensely buzzing dildo replaced the front dildo to slam her already tortured slot a further degree. She orgasmed, and she gushed out of her pee hole as her mercilessly battered bladder gave way, and gushed again as she orgasmed immediately after and staggered to maintain balance, and gushed yet again.
