Caught By The Centaur

Caught by the Centaur

In the flickering light of the flaming torches, three figures spoke, unaware they were being watched from the shadows by a young thief.

"Don't think he even saw it coming, boss. One clean cut to the throat. Not a terrible way to go. I mean, I had my guts cut out during a battle. Took me hours to die." The skeletal figure stood up from the body, blood at his boots. "Doesn't look like he finished fixing the trap. My guess is, whoever did this snuck up on him while he was working and killed him quicklike. Might have even broken the trap just to get someone down here alone."

A hoof scraped against the ground. "Bastard," spat the tall, muscled centaur, his voice deep and gravelly. He sighed deeply. "Send a message to his family and find us a new tinkerer. I want these traps up and running before the next band of adventurers makes its way here."

He took out a rectangular, metal case and removed a cigar. He held it between two fingers and lowered his hand. A succubus, her chiropteresque wings folded up behind her, stood up on her toes and kissed the tip of his cigar, igniting it, as her hair and eyes flared luminescent orange. He placed it into his mouth and inhaled. "I tell ya, I really want to find this guy and make him pay what he owes me for this. This bullshit right here, this ain't professional."

"We'll find him, Master," the succubus cooed with a reverberating combination of voices. "He can't hide forever. We've got the front doors barred and soon we'll have the underground passage out of the morgue blocked up, too. It'll reek for a while, but he'll be trapped."

The centaur hmphed. "Good. Bring some herbs to my office and find this guy before we lose anyone else." He walked off, his hoofsteps thundering ominously, the succubus close behind. The undead grognard hefted the corpse over his shoulder and headed down another path, muttering all the while.

When I could no longer hear any of them, I emerged from my hiding place behind the wall. My full bag clinked. It wasn't as though I had

wanted

to get rid of that goblin, but he had been in my way, and I couldn't risk him crying for help. It didn't hurt that the impressive tools he had been carrying would be worth quite a lot to the right engineer. I didn't even know the names of most of them.

I took out the map of the dungeon I had been making and added a few notes. I hadn't come across anything resembling a morgue yet, but where else could that undead fellow have been bringing the body? If I followed that path on my map, there

was

a hallway I hadn't explored yet. And it was nowhere near the dining hall or the entrance, so the odds were pretty good. It was certainly worth a shot. Wading through bodies wouldn't be fun, but it would certainly be preferable to getting caught by that cataphractic centaur. I had never seen one so large, nor so well-armored. Even if I snuck up on him, I doubted I could take him down before he'd tramble me to death or kick a hole through my ribcage. I rolled up the map, put it away, and crept down the hallway.

Soon enough, I found the morgue. Well, I smelled it long before I found it. Rusted, metal pipes extended down through the ceiling, providing an outlet for the noxious air. Even so, I had to stifle the urge to vomit even before I had even entered the room. I didn't even want to

think

about what sort of miasma I was inhaling. At the far end, a tunnel vanished into darkness. If I could just get there, I'd be out of this stinking dungeon and on my way to making a fortune. With the haul I had gotten today, combined with my savings at the bank, I might even finally be able to start up my own inn and get out of dungeon crawling.

I crept into the empty room, doing my best to avoid any bodies that looked recently deceased. It was difficult. Rotting flesh clung to corpses. Bugs boldly traversed the floor in swarms, looking for uneaten morsels. Flies filled the disgustingly humid air. Just a few more steps and I'd be half-way through, I told myself, and then a bit more and I'd be three-fifths through, and then a bit more and-

A cold, bony hand gripped my leg. I shrieked. "Got 'im! Now!" came a yell from beneath me. All around me, undead arose and shambled towards me. In an instant, my dagger was in my hand, slicing and hacking away, but it did little against solid bone devoid of veins and organs. I managed to break apart a bone or two, disconnect some fingers from their palms, but it wasn't enough. They overwhelmed me, holding me down, burying me in a mountain of bones until I couldn't move, could barely

breathe

, pinned by their combined weight. I strained as hard as I could, but I couldn't even budge their bleached bones off of me. I was trapped. I stopped struggling and closed my eyes. I'd need my strength for later, and I couldn't do anything now. Better to just wait and prepare myself for whatever came next.

I waited like that for longer than I thought I'd be able to stand. A thundering, ponderous series of footsteps came closer. A cold, hard hand reached into the pile and wrapped around my leg, pulling me upside down. I tightened my grip on my dagger, and as soon as I saw light, I slashed! The dagger clinked against stone and the shock made me lose my grip. My blade fell harmlessly to the floor. I looked into the face of the beast that held me. "Fuck." A troll. Their rocky hides were impenetrable to anything short of a hammer and chisel and a good fifteen minutes of uninterrupted work. I kicked at his hand, more out of pique than anything else. If the massive beast felt it, it didn't react, but merely lumbered off, holding me just barely high enough to keep my skull from dragging against the ground. Mostly. "Ow, fuck! Can you at least carry me right-side up?" I asked. It looked at me, said nothing, and returned its gaze forward.

The succubus I had seen earlier walked up beside us. "For future reference, don't take advice from your enemies, little elf. Not that I expect you to have many future chances to make use of that tip," she smirked. Or so I assumed. Upside down and near the floor, my view of her face was blocked by her oversized breasts. But the tone was 100% pure smirk.

"I'll return what I stole. I'll steal more for you. I'll train you on how to catch other thieves like me. What do you want? Name your price," I offered.

The succubus tapped the troll's side and I stopped swaying back and forth for a moment. The succubus leaned down near my face, her red hair floating ethereally, two large horns coming out of her skull. "Sorry, but Eurytos wants to deal with you

personally

. No deals. I just want you to know, you really don't deserve this."

I paused a moment. "Thank you."

The cunt spat on my face. I hissed and groaned as it burned my skin, sizzling. "That wasn't pity," she curtly corrected. "Not that you'll enjoy it." She stood up and slapped the troll's flank again, and my skull bumped against the floor before I was mercifully raised a few inches higher.

I felt disoriented, barely able to think. Was there any way out of this? I had lost my weapon, bargaining hadn't worked, what else did I have? Was I going to die here? It felt unreal. Like I should be able to turn back a few pages in a book and read a different ending to my life, instead. There was so much I had never done. Cities I had never visited. Emotions I had never felt. Meals I had never tried. All of it, lost forever, because I hadn't been able to resist the temptation to steal from the dungeon infamous for its defenses.

"Oof!" I was roughly slammed onto a hard, wooden table, knocking the wind out of me and adding yet another ache to my sore body. My chest burned and I couldn't even resist. I could barely breathe as my hands were locked in manacles bolted to the desk and my feet to a pair on the floor, spreading my legs uncomfortably wide. Monsters surrounded me: undead, orcs, lizardmen, that succubitch... But the most imposing figure was right in front of me. I looked up into the intense eyes of the centaur.

"Here you are, thief. I've been expecting you. Eagerly, I admit." Eurytos stood up, slowly rising to his full height of eight and a half feet. He would have towered over me even had I been standing. His eyes smoldered at me as he began to circle around me, and his thick beard and mustache did nothing to hide his scowl. I shuddered at every metallic clonk of his hooves. "Don't worry, I'm not going to kill you. Of course, I'd be fully justified in doing so. I'm not even going to cut off those talented, little hands of yours that caused me so much trouble. No thieves, no demand for guards. That's bad for business.

"And that's what I run here, a business. I provide a service. I keep it professional. Adventurers try to steal the treasure I protect, I stop 'em. They give up, they go home. They don't, they die. I know that and they know that. I don't make it personal. I'm no sadist." Eurytos disappeared behind me, out of my sight. For some reason, him explicitly saying that he wasn't a sadist just worried me more. There was going to be a "but" coming. I just knew it...

There was a series of heavy thwumps, of things heavy and metallic hitting the stone floor. When he reappeared to my right, he was bare-chested, his armor gone, with only the scale armor on his equine half remained. My eyes went wide. My imagination began furiously running though myriad scenarios, all of them bad, most of them terrible. No, no, no, he wouldn't, would he? No no no no no... I struggled against my manacles, but in vain. Had I still had my toolkit, I'd have been out in moments. But even if I escaped, I was surrounded. Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide.

The succubus approached him and began untying his armor as he continued speaking. "But then

you

come along. Stealing from the dead. Killing men who never signed up for a fight. Skulking about in the shadows. No honor in that," he said, shaking his head. His scale armor slid off his back and hit the floor. My eyes focused on the heavy, tumescent cock between his rear legs, the size of my forearm, nearly human in appearance, but with a slight taper to the shaft and an unusually short head. I couldn't look away from that weapon, fully aware of what something that size could do to me, imagining how it would impale me, driven into my insides as painfully as any dagger I had ever wielded.

"So...you make it non-professional, I make it non-professional. Fair's fair. I've got a job to do and men to take care of, and I need it known that thieves and assassins can't sneak in and grab what they want and escape unscathed."

The succubus knelt down beneath the centaur and began stroking his enormous cock. Her jaw distended wide enough to fit its tip into her mouth, her throat bulging out like a snake swallowing its prey, drool oozing down her face, while her hands cradled and caressed his pendulous balls. Her head bobbed as she happily moaned and cooed, all the while staring daggers at me, her eyes practically alight, glowing red. I swore if I got the chance, I'd at least kill her before I died.

I had only ever seen one centaur's cock before in my life, at Brigid's hen party before her wedding. There had been a centaur stripper there, but his oversized cock had seemed comical, a prop. Some of the girls, Brigid included, had touched it to riotous giggles, but no one had taken it seriously as a sexual object. Who could? They had measured it for laughs: eighteen inches. Impossible for any of them to handle. And the one before me looked larger, if anything, although it was hard to tell when half of it vanished down that slut of a demoness's eager throat. If she had needed to breathe, she'd be suffocating by now. There was no way her throat wasn't airtight with the way it swelled around the centaur's manhood.

Rough hands began tearing off my armor and clothing with no regard to its value. I squirmed from side to side, but I couldn't do anything else. Hot tears stung my eyes as I felt the cold air on my body, on my breasts, between my thighs, everywhere I was soft and vulnerable. My nipples hardened from the cold and fear. My crotch tingled uncomfortably at the knowledge I was completely exposed and helpless in front of all these monsters who would do me harm. My cheeks burned. I had never been so humiliated, so shorn of dignity and pride. I cried out as a scaled hand spanked my ass hard, leaving behind a warm sting. But despite it all, my cunt felt warm and moist and swollen and my pulse throbbed between my legs.

Eurytos grunted, and the succubus released his cock with great reluctance, looking after it piningly as he left. He walked behind me, his hooves the anticipatory drumroll before an execution. My heart raced as I struggled to control myself, forcing myself to take deep, measured breaths, trying to stop myself from hyperventilating or passing out. Doing my best to retain what little defense I still had against the coming onslaught.

I shrieked as two hooves slammed onto either side of my hands suddenly, just barely missing crushing every bone in them and rendering me a lifelong cripple. "Don't struggle too much if you want to keep those," he warned. I held my wrists down and still, obeying his authority without question. Right now my only concern was surviving, whatever it took. I could sense his massive bulk just above me, heat radiating off of him. Even accidentally, he'd be able to kill me easily. Indeed, he might...

Something hot and firm brushed against the lips of my pussy. I bucked in surprise, chains rattling, to a chorus of mocking guffaws and chuckles around me. The head of his cock teased against my opening again. It was obvious that it was far too huge to fit comfortably inside me.

I doubted anyone but me cared.

He pushed forward, parting my lips. He grunted as he met resistance. I gasped and started groaning as I felt my being forced open. His massive cock slowly plunged into me, filling me, until I thought I was going to be torn open. And then with one quick thrust, he buried his cock inside me.

I screamed wordlessly. My fists clenched. Pain I had never felt before shot through me. I could barely perceive anything, just snippets of sensations. Grunts. Pants. Laughter. Screams. Pain. Lots of it. But bizarrely, unthinkably, pleasure, too.

His cock stimulated every inch of me, his girth incomparable to any lover I had ever had before. His heartbeat pulsated through his cock into me, throbbing hard. He thrust passionately, possessively, concerned with only his own pleasure, taking me as he wanted it, not as I might. I was nothing more than an object to him, a toy, a hole for him to fuck relentlessly. His cock drove into me over and over, my body shaking and shuddering as I was lifted up by his hard, thick passion. His balls tapped against my ass with each forceful thrust. His furred stomach brushed against my naked back. His jewelry jingled. I couldn't even hold myself up. I was entirely passive, completely at his mercy.

The pain numbed, and soon the pleasure grew and grew. The contrast of the cold, hard, rough wood against my tits and his hot, smooth cock inside my pussy felt incredible. My whole body tingled. It was different from any other time I had been fucked. Extremely so. Maybe I had never really

been

fucked until now. But it wasn't an orgasm my body was climbing towards. It was something more diffuse, less intense, a full-body release, a hot surrender, as my body gave itself to him. I noticed the succubus glaring at me. I winked at her and blew her a kiss with what energy I still had left. Let the bitch be jealous.

Eurytos began to pant and grunt. His thrusts grew erratic and desperate. His legs wobbled and he moaned. One final thrust was all it took. He moaned and his cock spasmed wildly inside me, filling my insides with a wet, sticky heat. His cum gushed out of me, spilling down my thighs, pooling onto the floor. And my body ignited in pleasure, suffusing me with its light, gently warming me as I moaned and shook, my body no longer my own, my womanhood ecstatically happy to be his, to be good enough for his orgasm.

I collapsed onto the table. His long, thick manhood left me empty. He walked away, no longer interested in me now that he had gotten what he wanted. I could barely hear him telling someone to bring me back to the city and leave me outside the temple over the thunder of my heart in my chest. There was a series of clanks as my shackles were unlocked. My naked, bruised, and battered form was picked up and placed onto a bed of straw, and with a sudden jerk, we began to move. I watched the stony ceiling move past me, trying to process just what had happened.

I knew only one thing. I was coming back.
